How can I undo the damage I’ve done? Dina simpers to Jack. Traci and Abby want answers but are shooed off so that Dina can apologize to Ashley (who’s too distraught to say much – her secret is now out) As Ashley remains in shock, Jack escorts Dina out.
After Tessa and Hilary exchange some unpleasantries, Devon arrives (with Neil) to wonder why Mariah’s still at work (she was going to bed early he thought) Inviting both to the club for some food, Mariah quickly says that Tessa’s going to Noah’s. Hilary watches with interest.
Back in Dina’s suite, Jack can’t sugar coat what his Mother blurted out tonight – what everyone’s still processing; Brent Davis is Ashley’s Father, not John. Jack insists they deal with Graham (writing him out of the will) quickly. In the hallway, Graham listens.
Now home, Traci and Abby go to fetch cookies – leaving Ashley to mope over a framed photo of John.
Jack will handle the will first thing in the morning – now he needs to go see his sister. He wishes Dina’s ‘sorry’ could fix this. Graham then arrives asking for the chance to make Dina understand. Oh, I understand perfectly, she says.
Christian brought down to play with his toys, Nick and Chelsea discuss his interview. He wants to be free of being a rich guy’s son – to succeed on his own terms. Chelsea supports that but jokes that every charity in town will be knocking on his door. Nick’s fine with that – his Dad can’t hurt him anymore.
Though not sure it’s a good idea, Ravi joins Vikki for a friendly drink at the club’s bar. Hearing she missed some Abbott family drama, Vikki explains that she’d planned to go with Neil but something came up. Thinking Ashley lucky to have Ravi, Vikki wonders what might have happened if she interviewed him first. I guess we’ll never know, they clink glasses.
Now home, Jack updates Ashley that Hilary won’t air the footage. Mom’s a wreck over what she’s done to you – and the revelations about Graham. Ashley explains how Traci and a yearbook helped her put things together. Your Father is, was, will always be John Abbott, Jack reassures Ashley.
