Victor ends his video chat with Mike when Vikki stomps in – what is this all about? She’s neither surprised nor sorry to hear that Adam’s having second thoughts about staying on at Newman Media. Make him feel appreciated and respected, Victor is PISSED at the way Ashland spoke to his son. Were you part of it?! he bellows.

In Sally’s suite, it seems Adam’s gone ‘radio silent’. He’s wondering whether he went to far with his Father. She wonders if he’s thinking of leaving.

Phyllis drops by Jack’s with the offer of support and help (if he wants to trace the texts) I’m here. Tablet om hand, Jack’s going to go through his old emails from Keemo.

The sleepover at the estate is over – we all made it through the night. The nurse said Dominic slept through the night. Dr Austin’s coming to check on him. Devon mentions that it’s lucky they have the resources to equip both their nurseries, and hire a private nurse. Chance takes Devon aside to say they’ll cover the cost of the medical transport when he goes over to his place (which he seems to want to happen very soon) Nate arrives with Dr Austin. Happy to see them, Abby sends them upstairs.

Vikki defends Ashland setting boundaries with Adam; he’d answer to us. What’s the problem, Dad? Victor doesn’t appreciate their disrespect towards his son; Adam’s the reason your wedding wasn’t ‘blown up’. He did that for you, Vikki snickers (she’s waayyyy more disrespectful than Ashland; Adam came crying back to Daddy) Smooth things over, make your brother feel welcome, Victor demands.

Adam tells Sally that he basically repeated what she said to him in bed the other night. Now, you’re wondering if I steered you in the wrong direction; lead him to say things he’d regret?

Chance and Abby are having a moment. She’s so happy that he’s seeking professional help. Chance prays to God that their little boy’s OK. He has to be, Devon chokes up. All are relieved when Nate and Dr Austin come down with good news; Dominic will be OK. Devon hugs Amanda, then his two co-parents. Tears are shed.






Jack reads an email from Keemo aloud. It ends with ‘you are nothing to me’. Phyllis’ offer to trace the text messages is gratefully accepted accepted. He’s afraid to know, but God yes, he wants to know if it’s Keemo.

After Dr Austin leaves, Chance/Abby/Devon and Amanda stampede towards the staircase, eager to see Dominic. Whoa, Nate warns them that every precaution must be taken as it’s early in Dominic’s recovery. When they agree that Abby will go first, Nate thinks the three parents working together a ‘beautiful thing’.

Finding Victor in Adam’s office, Nikki’s not happy to hear that he’s digging into that poor man’s background again; so what if Ashland donated to a clinic that’s now extending him life? Fasten your seatbelt; Mike just sent video evidence that Ashland paid those doctors to say he had cancer.

At Newman Locke, Ashland’s barking into his phone; what’s going on down there? Find that doctor before he does more damage. How could you allow this to happen. Allow what to happen? Vikki walks in to ask.

On the CL’s patio, Nate pretty well repeats to Elena what he said to Dom’s three parents. Devon and Amanda smile widely.
