Lucinda kept reaching out but her son ignored her letters. You cheated on my Father, walked away from us – or maybe he threw you out. Lucinda had no choice. Everyone has a choice, Neil says she could have arranged visitation – and been part of his life. Cards on birthdays weren’t enough. You don’t understand, Lucinda confides that she was in no condition to be a Mother. Meaning what? Neil asks.
YOU put Adam and his family in danger, YOU do something about it, Jack orders Victor (who’s further infuriated when Paul and Chris show up – to offer Victor a deal on behalf of GC citizens)
Ready to go, Chelsea gives Adam a kiss – it’ll all be OK. I love you, they exchange.
Daniel visits Kevin at the penthouse. I’m crashing on the couch, Kev makes a point of saying. Daniel knows better – you don’t want to just be Chloe’s good buddy – and you definitely don’t want to be on that couch.
Someone in high heeled boots creeps up the front steps of the cabin. Hello Adam, Chloe shoots him in the belly with what looks like a mini harpoon.
Now home, Dylan’s grilled by Sharon and Nick (who worries more about Chelsea being arrested than Adam) Then guess who’s left to raise Connor. A lightbulb goes off over Sharon’s head; could that have been Victor’s plan all along?
The William’s offer is cough up Adam and Chelsea won’t be charged. He serves his time for assaulting the guard, end of story. We have a description of the car Chelsea’s driving. Go follow that lead – you won’t get anything out of me, Victor won’t budge.
How did you find me? Adam asks (now slumped into a seated position and weakening) Chloe was glad Chelsea dreamt of starting over – but couldn’t let Adam walk away again, just like he did after Delia. Yes, it was her who worked with Victor to set him up. The worst part was having to pretend she forgave Adam. You were almost a free man, almost.
On her phone looking for the nearest clinic, Chelsea’s panicked to see that an Amber alert has been issued. What are we supposed to do now? Connor’s strapped into the back seat, oblivious.
Don’t you call me son! Neil barks at Lucinda. A Mother is supposed to take care of her child. Enlighten me. The ‘old lady being shouted at on her deathbed’ orders Neil to shut up and listen. Lucinda left Neil with his Father because it was safer – the bottle was the center of her life. I’m an alcoholic. Neil weeps into his hand.
Ate you going to arrest us? If not – you know where the door is, Nikki sniffs. You’ll regret this decision, Chris warns as she and Paul obediently ‘show themselves out’. That leaves Jack to lecture Nikki on losing her integrity. Are you going to stand there and take that from him? Victor says without looking up from his phone.
Dylan knows Victor busted Adam out because he felt guilty for putting Adam in prison (though he can’t prove it) While Sharon stresses to Dylan that the priority now is Chelsea and Connor’s safety, Nick gets a call from Chelsea- she and Connor are at a motel on highway 6 – we need your help.
Over beers, Daniel wishes the best for Kevin and Chloe – but go slowly. Hearing Bella cry, Kevin darts upstairs. Daniel’s left to scoff – yeah, slow and easy Kev,
What’s your plan? Adam asks. I’m going to watch you die, Chloe snarls in his face (as he loses consciousness.
