At GC Buzz, Mariah hovers as an enthusiastic Hilary raves about building a whole episode around Fielding’s confession. This is OUR story; a legitimate story, she insists. Yes, but this piece clears Victor and proves we didn’t vet the source (ammo Victor can use against them in court) Devon needs this story to disappear. He won’t lose his grandmother’s legacy to a court settlement. Shred the notes, he orders Mariah. After Devon walks out, Hilary barks at Mariah – we have a show to make!
Nick’s missed a million moments he’ll never get back. Sharon always made it seem like she was doing him a favour by letting him see Sully. But there’s so much to look forward too – soccer, baseball, hockey. He’s going to call me Dad. Of course he will, Chelsea says (and grows quite) Nick wishes she and Adam had more moments with Connor.
Dylan and Sharon continue to help Faith absorb the news. We found out last night, Dylan says. Sharon admits she found out a few months ago – but we were a real family by then so didn’t say anything. But Daddy was so sad, Faith recalls accusingly. Sharon was afraid of how hurt everyone would be – she’s ashamed. Are you sick again? Faith asks her Mom.
I’m not sick, I made a mistake – but I knew what I was doing, Sharon’s heart broke when she learned Sully wasn’t hers. Is Daddy mad at you? Faith asks – and does Dylan miss Sully? Yes, he was my little buddy. I didn’t get to say goodbye, Faith chokes up. He’s just a short walk away, Sharon points out. I want to see him – NOW, Faith runs out. Let her go, Sharon says as Dylan grabs his coat too. I’m not following Faith, he says – but doesn’t answer Sharon’s ‘where are you going’?
Nick knows this must be hard for Chelsea – he’s getting something Adam won’t. It’s not fair to Sage, or Adam. You’ll tell Christian stories about Sage, just as Chelsea will tell Connor how amazing his Dad was. Faith barrels through the front door and into her Dad’s arms – Mommy told me about Sully, she cries.
As Hilary’s sending Mariah to find ‘filler’ for tonight’s two empty segments, Kevin races in. No, Mariah can’t call him later. After Hilary marches off, Kevin asks Mariah how long she covered for Sharon (as Hilary listens with interest)
See? Christian’s doing just fine, Nick says as Faith watches him sleep. Mom and Dylan are really sad, she mopes. How are YOU doing? Nick asks. It’ll take time. You’re still his big sister. And when Faith talks about Mom’s lie, Nick takes the high road. He could never ‘hate’ Sharon – she gave me you and Noah. That means more than you’ll ever know ~hug~
Dylan’s taking his anger out at the batting cage.
Who else knows? Mariah asks. Kevin scolds her for not confiding in him. Mariah wanted to tell him – and everyone. I was the only person Sharon could trust. And I had no one. Kevin’s not judging but wants the details; if you broke the law we need to figure this out. As Devon joins Hilary, she’s watching them on camera, wishing she could read lips – but wait, Devon can. He reluctantly translates that they’re talking about a baby.
Hilary is ‘begging’ Devon to read Mariah and Kevin’s lips (he owes her for squashing the Victor story) Something about Dr Anderson, he says then escapes for a meeting with his lawyers. As Hilary continues to squint at the monitor, Kevin wants Mariah to talk to Mike – he won’t say anything to anyone, but this story WILL come out. It’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
Back at the penthouse, Chloe apologizes for telling Kevin about Sully/Christian. I broke your confidence. It’s OK – Mariah would have told him anyway. Chelsea knows she can trust Chloe with all her heart ~hug~
