Returning to the penthouse, Adam learns that Connor’s at the ranch and that she told Victor that he’s accepted the truth. Adam’s not sure he can do that (though Chelsea insists he must)
Sharon doesn’t believe anyone’s born evil. Adam was terrified when he showed up at her door; a broken man, not a monster. Nick thinks Sharon has more important things to focus her energy on – let Victor and Chelsea help Adam.
Chelsea believes Victor and Hope were right to protect Adam – you’re not an evil person. You’re the man I love, the Father Connor adores. Adam worries Victor might be hiding something even worse. He must remember. Please, leave this alone – trust me, Chelsea implores.
Tessa wants to be here for her family; finally believing she belongs somewhere. She wouldn’t give that up for anything. Not even a duet with Lizzo.
Examining the notepad, Traci realizes the word is actually ‘Bixby’ and knows exactly what it means.
Alright, Mariah accepts Tessa’s decision but is sure she’ll be an epic star.
Traci reminds her siblings that Dad was always lining them up to pose for photos – smile for the Bixby. He loved to take home movies. But why would Dina mention it? Maybe she wants to see the movies – or maybe she wants to go back to where it all began for her.
Still at the clinic, Nate and Elena joke around until she sends him in to clean the exam room (then look guilty/confused as she gives her head a little shake)
Devon thanks Amanda for her time – he plans to keep her busy. Neil would have been proud, she’s sure. Devon likes to think so too.
Phone in hand, Sharon contemplates reaching out.
I love you, Chelsea goes to make Adam a sandwich. He’s left to read a text from Sharon. Tell me how I can help.
Next: I need help Chelsea, Adam’s frustrated. Help only Sharon can give you, Chelsea pouts… What’s new? Jack’s on his phone. Vikki wants to confirm that everything’s still on track. You can count on me, Jack responds … Amanda’s alarmed – good Lord. If Vikki follows through. We would be in a war, Billy looks grim – Newman on Newman – never a safe place to be.
My Thoughts: When Nick expressed doubt that Adam would block the memory of killing a man, Nikki should have reminded him that she blocked out killing a kid (Bobby Marsino’s brother if I recall correctly) for decades too ….. I guess vague mentions of ‘everything that’s going on’ is an acknowledgment of the global pandemic we’re now experiencing. Too bad we don’t see anyone wearing a mask.
