Moses and Faith are so cute, Elena grins as she joins Nate and Devon at CL’s. Happy to see them getting along, Devon invites Nate and Elena to join him and Amanda at the penthouse later for drinks.
Amanda can provide means and motive – Sutton couldn’t let the news get out that his daughter became pregnant out of wedlock. My Father was looking for me before he died, she adds. Naya will only let Amanda take her case if she follows Sutton’s guidance. That’s one thing Amanda won’t do.
Unable to stay quiet any longer, Imani wants her Mother to listen to Amanda. It’s inexcusable that Sutton’s willing to let you take the rap for something he did. What’s inexcusable (to Naya) is Amanda brainwashing Imani. If Amanda won’t back down, Naya will hire someone who listens to her and Sutton.
Moses confides to Faith how concerned he is about freezing up when Nate almost choked to death. He’s no longer sure he should be a doctor. You don’t have to lock in your future this very minute, Faith encourages (and is glad to hear that her only friend plans to stay in GC)
Vikki’s been burned by Adam too many times to let her guard down. Ashland will outlast all of us, she predicts. Adam’s happy to see that Vikki’s interest goes beyond Ashland’s company. Regardless, Vikki will never trust Adam. When Ashland returns, Adam suggests he and Vikki take a vacation to LA – it could be just what the doctor ordered.
Chelsea accuses Dr Hedges of being Victor’s flunkie – my son needs his Mother! What if it got out that you’ve been taking money from Victor to keep me in here? You can’t prove it – and you’re stuck in here until I say otherwise, Dr Hedges falls right into the trap. Revealing a pink phone, Chelsea’s recorded the conversation and will have her friend send it to the medical board if Dr Hedges doesn’t have her discharged immediately.
Adam’s fishing – he’s always up to something, Vikki quietly warns Ashland – we need to be careful until this deal’s done. Abby comes out to hear that dinner was great. When Vikki asks about Abby seeing Stitch, Ashland comments that he’ll never have that kind of civil relationship with his ex.
Mariah pauses her run through the park, surprised to see that Ben hasn’t left town yet.
If I agree to leave Sutton out of it, can I continue to represent you? Amanda’s request is granted. Happy with that, Naya has one more thing to say before she leaves – thank you. Imani’s left to assume correctly that Amanda has no intention of letting Sutton off the hook. Correct, Amanda will see that he pays for what he did.
Have a safe trip back to Iowa, Mariah says to Ben once again before continuing her run.
Surprised to find Imani in Amanda’s suite, Devon’s updated that she’s representing her Mother. Glad to hear that Amanda has Imani in her corner, he knows they’ll be an unstoppable team. He invited Nate and Elena over for drinks later. Of course, Imani can join them – this night’s about family, Devon smiles.
Ashland wishes he’d sold Cyaxeres to Vikki instead of Adam and Victor. It’s OK – what we’re working on is much bigger, Vikki smiles. Ashland wants to close the deal before his health declines. Vikki sees no need to rush. Ashland worries he’s complicating her life. It’s not fair to you.
You got the recording, right? Chelsea’s text reads. At CL’s, Chloe replies that she saved it to the cloud – Dr Hedges is the worst! He has no choice now – soon I’ll be with my son, Chelsea’s happy.
Back at the ranch, Adam tells Victor that he now has no doubt that Ashland’s dying. We need to make our move before Vikki does. When Dr Hedges arrives, Adam wonders what’s going on – is there something you don’t want me to know!?
