Neil insists Gwen leave before the cops arrive – the cops will be here soon. Gwen won’t be sent away – won’t leave Neil. We’ll make a run for it. I want you gone, Neil won’t budge – GO! He looks sad when Gwen finally leaves.
Billy tries to reason with Chloe – then Ester. Chloe’s thought about this moment – seeing Adam scared for his life (as Delia was) Chelsea steps in front of Chloe – are you ready to shoot me? Connor’s Mom and Dad. Think of what Delia taught us. She’d want Adam to live. Picture what she’d say if she was here. Delia lives through all of us. The gun handed off to Victor, Chloe cries in Chelsea’s arms.
At the club, Devon won’t let Dylan handle this. He calls the number. Too late – I guess you don’t really love your wife, a man says. Wait, Devon pleads – don’t hang up.
As Dylan and the Ashby’s watch on, Devon calmly says that he loves his wife – please tell me where she is. Click.
After Adam takes Connor from Abby, Jill suggests they all got out for ice cream. Billy’s going for something stronger. Victor tells Jack that he’s handing the gun over to the police (and explain that it belongs to an unstable woman) As Chloe again rebuffs Ester, Kevin goes after her. Lauren leads Ester off for ice cream in Delia’s honour. Chelsea thanks Abby, then goes with Ben. Phyllis hugs Summer then Jack = leaving Vikki to ask Victor to let it go. He warns Adam not to blow it – you’re out on my dime. Now Adam’s left to ask Chelsea if she’s forgiven him.
No, Chelsea hasn’t forgiven Adam, she acted for Delia – and Chloe (who doesn’t deserve to go to jail) But I do? Adam asks. Yes, if there’s any justice in the world.
In Chloe’s suite, Kevin understands her grief – he misses Delia every day. Chloe really wanted to shoot Adam – but he’s not worth losing the most precious thing in her life. And what’s that? Kevin’s puzzled.
Vikki and Billy are home. He wanted to kill Adam, but didn’t because Vikki reminded him what he has to live for. Vikki will take a kiss over gratitude. Still upset? Billy’s worried about Chloe – she cut ties with everyone; doesn’t have anyone to stop her from doing crazy things. Like what? Vikki asks. Billy confides that Chloe tried to convince him to have another baby.
Jill, Lauren and Ester chat at CL’s. When Jack arrives (with Phyllis) Jill confronts him – how dare you protect Victor’s son over your own brother?
Knowing that the Ashby’s are lying to him about where Dylan and Devon have gone off to, Paul says that Hilary’s life depends on us all working together – think about that. Gwen watches as Lily and Cane hope that Devon and Dylan find Hilary.
