Dylan herds another group onto the chopper – sorry Joe, no more room. Abby meets Adam and Victor (who orders her to get on the chopper) When’s the next flight!? Joe’s frustrated when Dylan ignores him. Victor then instructs Adam to leave town – this is your last chance at freedom. Billy saunters in – go ahead Adam, prove everything you said about justice for Delia was a lie – run.
Before Ashley leaves, Ben must say something. No – it was just a moment, she doesn’t want to hear it. Our connection was real and you know it, Ben coughs. I need you to know, just in case…
Patty’s insulted when Phyllis calls her a wacko; that’s so hurtful. Don’t live in the past – Patty came to talk to her nephew Dylan. Jack encourages Patty to lead them out to safety. Be a team player. You’re choosing her over me – again? Patty lunges at Phyllis and takes her to the sofa by the throat (Jack jumping on top of her)
Jack pulls a screeching Patty off Phyllis – listen to me – I’m sorry I failed you. I DO mean it. No one has ever loved me the way you’ve loved me. Be strong and solid – lead us out of here – we’ll put this back together tomorrow. Patty paws his face – looks into his eyes, and gives Jack a passionate kiss. Phyllis sends her flying with a punch – keep your hands off my husband you sick bitch.!
Talking into the lapel of his jacket, Paul confirms that Dylan hasn’t seen Patty – stay safe son. A firefighter tells Paul that all the fire safety equipment has been disabled. Someone wants to see NE burn to the ground, he concludes.
Chelsea blasts Mike – you had one job – to keep Adam safe in his bed. Lauren steps in to defend her husband as the only one who stood by Adam. In tears, Chelsea apologizes in Lauren’s arms.
Victor reminds Billy that he forgave Adam. Yes, but he still wants justice for Delia. Victor loved her too – but he’s protecting his son. Billy can’t believe he’s comparing Delia to HIM. Adam refuses to run – he’s going to prison, as he deserves.
Please don’t, Ashley tears up. I love you, Ben says. Ashley puts a hand over his mouth, then kisses him passionately. They then hear a noise; a gas line!
As the helicopter hovers, Victor and Adam continue to argue. Abby runs over – the chopper’s here. Victor sends Joe and the waiters up. Adam refuses to go – does Victor plan to go down with the building? Abby sends Joe in her place. I’ll be on the next one (with her fiance and parents)
Back at GCM, Faith leaps into Nick’s then Sage’s arms. Nikki praises Kevin and Mariah. Nick tells Faith that Noah’s in another hospital, then quietly updates his Mom that the fire’s bad – if Dad and Abby don’t get out of there soon ….
As Jack tends to Patty, Phyllis checks the hallway. Patty awakens -s he needs to tell Dylan that ‘he can’t trust her’. Trust who??
Mom! Ben! Can you hear me? As Abby comes close, an explosion rocks the room they’re trapped in.
As Victor leads Adam up to the roof, Phyllis, Jack and Patty have all been knocked unconscious.
Faith all tucked in, Nick and Sage go to see Christian. Kevin tells Mariah that Cane was right – all the clues lead to someone tampering with the Newman computer system.
Joe hugs Lily (who was worried about him) Cane? Joe assumed he made it out. Everyone else gathers for an update. As the helicopter took off, there was a big explosion. Joe’s not sure anyone else will be rescued.
In the lobby, Paul again reads the blueprints. The fire chief is pulling his men – the fire’s too far gone. My sister could still be up there, Paul sighs.
