Adam introduces Chelsea. This is who you were expecting? Yes, I was expected, Risa sneers – were YOU? Adam updates Chelsea that Nick insisted on meeting Matt alone – Over the phone, he heard the door shut and a struggle. By the time he and Risa got into the room, Nick and Matt were both gone. Nick could be in serious danger! Chelsea’s alarmed.
When Billy brings out a tray of tea and soup, Sally tells him that Audra’s on her way over with some contracts. Billy won’t be deterred.
Mariah stole a child, Devon also reminds that she fed Dom in the hospital when she wasn’t supposed to – she moved out after his baptism. Going after Dom was NOT random. Chris and Sharon didn’t talk to us about this plea deal. What’s going on with you? Abby asks. What’s going on with YOU? Devon’s astounded – why are you turning this around on me?
Sharon worries about Mariah having to go back to court or worse, prison. If they reopen the case that doesn’t mean it’ll be overturned, Chris points out. There has to be something we can do.
Ronny called to say he had to leave and would have to reschedule the meeting, Risa knows he’s a con – we work together. We’re on the same team, Adam calms the ladies down. Risa’s more than happy to leave this unwarranted interrogation. Now alone with Chelsea, Adam knows Risa’s tells – she’s not lying.
Sharon doesn’t understand why Devon would do such a thing. Mariah’s not the only one who suffered psychological damage. She referred them to a child psychologist – Dom’s only had one nightmare. Mariah was having hallucinations. Chris thinks they need to convince Devon to reconsider.
You’re making a scene, Abby doesn’t know where all this rage is coming from. You filed a petition without even mentioning it to me. Devon thought they were in agreement. Obviously you thought wrong, Abby says.
Sally has work to do and Audra’s on her way. Billy wants the truth – are you second guessing coming to London? No, Sally’s just worn out. When Audra arrives, Billy announces that Sally’s sick.
Adam tells Chelsea that Nick’s been acting erratic. It started after his surgery; his mood swings have intensified. Adam suspects it’s connected to the pain meds.
Matt’s waiting for Risa in her suite. Where’ve you been? Talking to Spyder. You mean Adam? Victor’s son/Nick’s brother? Did you really think I wouldn’t figure this out? Matt claps his hands in Risa’s face – game’s over – talk!
When Chris and Sharon arrive at Society, Devon hopes they don’t plan to change his mind. The victims parents deserve to be heard; he’s made this call from his family. After he leaves, Sharon asks Abby if she’s onboard. Mariah could be locked away for years, Chris adds – hear us out.
Yes, Risa knew that Spyder’s a Newman – what’s it to you? What are you accusing me of? Let’s go see Adam right now and clear this up, Matt demands.
Adam can’t ignore the signs – it makes sense to him. Golden boys can get hooked on drugs too. Chelsea thinks it unlikely. Adam worries Nick’s hooked on something even stronger.
Billy refuses to go to London without Sally – but will leave the ladies alone to work for a bit. Exchanging I love you’s, Billy goes to check on his brother. Did you bring what I asked for? Sally asks Audra.
When Risa returns to Adam’s suite, Matt steps out to grin – I hear you’ve been looking for me.
Nobody’s sorrier than Mariah, Sharon makes a case for her daughter not going to prison. She will never recover, Sharon knows. Mariah’s heart always protected Dom. That heart will break for good if she goes to prison – you don’t want that for her, do you?
Audra pulls a paper bag from her purse and hands it over to Sally. Is this even necessary? Knowing the signs, Sally pulls out a pregnancy test.
You are just lovely, Matt introduces himself to Chelsea (who dares him to come closer so he can spit in her face) Don’t even look in her direction, Adam steps in. Adopting a sad face, Matt stammers – I don’t know how to break this to you. Nick’s gone. It’s such a shame. Your brother OD’d this morning – Nick’s dead.
