Showing off his ‘very, very clean’ hands, Dom takes a cookie. Mariah saw the snowman he was building with his Mom. Is she coming soon? No – she and your Dad are running late. We have to find a new hide and go seek hiding spot. Where? It’s a surprise.
Back inside, Devon suggests Dom fell asleep in a hiding spot. Abby can feel that something’s wrong. She doesn’t remember seeing Louise wearing this scarf – call her!!!!
I hope we’re not intruding, Nate’s assured he’s not. When Sally asks about the takeover, Victoria thinks she’s fishing for a story. Billy implied he’s going to put a negative spin on everything. Hearing that he’s no longer with Abbott Communications, Victoria correctly guesses Cane’s giving him Chancellor. What does that mean for the two of you?
Ending his call with Louise, Devon confirms Abby’s worst fear – it’s not her scarf. Someone was watching us playing with Dom – he’s been kidnapped! Abby sobs in Devon’s arms.
Declining a cookie, Mariah hopes the ‘very sweet boy’ isn’t scared, No – this is the best game of hide and seek ever! Dom wonders where they’ll go next and how Mommy and Daddy will find them. You’ll love how this game ends, Mariah assures. you trust me don’t you? They high five.
The cops are on their way. Devon also wishes Chance was here. He continues to try to reassure Abby. Help is on the way – we’ll find him ~hug~
Is it an amusement park? No. Zoo? No. Dom just wants to know. Have I let you down yet? Mariah promises it’ll be the most fun thing ever. You’re good at this game!
Sally claims that she and Billy are trying to work things out. In the meantime, she’ll report the facts without bias. After Victoria heads off to grab a table, Audra asks Nate if Amy mentioned their visit. Nate’s glad they got to visit (but has nothing else to say)
Were you surprised that Cane offered Chancellor to Billy? Nate asks when he joins Victoria. Not really and she’s sure they’ll get everything back.
Sally tells Audra that she doesn’t blame Victoria for being pissed and wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of her ‘fire’ right now.
Chancellor belongs to my mother, Victoria will get it back (though is sure she and Billy will be ‘fair’ regarding the kids) Nate’s money’s on her. Now, let’s spend the evening talking about anything that won’t wipe that beautiful smile off your face.
Devon and Abby tell the attending officer that the scarf doesn’t belong to their nanny. Abby’s been quietly praying to Chance; our son’s guardian angel will keep Dom safe. Devon issues more promises; Abby does some more crying.
Ready or not here I come! Mariah looks under the bed. You’re really good at this game. Dom giggles as she searches for him. When she yanks the blankets off him, Dom lunges into her arms – I’m having the best time! So am I, she replies.
My Thoughts: Devon goes to get ‘the’ flashlight? The estate only has one … …. Audra ‘lost’ Glacade and Vibrante? Yet neither company ever had office space, employees or products on the shelf …. Who’s running Sharon’s company while both she and Mariah have been absent for months? … Of course Dom’s hands are ‘very, very clean’ – he washed them for a good 15 minutes. Mariah’s really overselling this ‘extra special’ place she’s taking Dom to. Not sure what Dom will consider more ‘fun’ than an amusement park or the zoo….. OK – gross. When does Mariah think housekeeping last laundered the bedspread, throw cushions or curtains in her 2 star motel room? Given how many times folks in GC want to hide from the GCAC’s clientele, you’d think some bright entrepreneur would have opened up a nice little bed and breakfast on the outskirts of town….. Odd that Devon and Abby don’t have any security at the estate. They must be the only billionaire family in town who don’t have their own security team – or even a Ring doorbell camera, and they could easily afford to have the suspicious scarf tested for DNA (if Abby hadn’t huffed it all off) … Nate’s only heard about the takeover from ‘rumours’? Clearly Victoria’s barking up the wrong tree thinking that Sally’s looking for a scoop. She (Sally) is right about one thing – Audra is a ‘strong number two’, a big strong steaming number two.
