An impatient Jack goes for a walk to clear his head. He appreciates that Phyllis will stay behind, in case Ally comes.
I’m all yours, Sharon has a small window of time for Rey. That window closes when Faith calls and puts Christian on. He needs to ask his favourite adult some questions for a school project. Sorry but Sharon has to go over. Thanks for understanding, she gives Rey a quick kiss and leaves him disappointed.
On the patio, Amanda chides Devon for interrogating Sharon. Bonus; Rey was here too.
In Dr Hoffman’s office, Chance gazes out the window. The first session took a lot out of him. Luckily, he has a supportive wife. He wants to be the man she and his son deserve. Dr H wants to hear about the last day of Chance’s mission. Concentrate on how you felt after the explosion. Chance could hear his team screaming for their lives. He couldn’t move so felt worthless. Then, silence. He tried (failed) to find survivors. He hid until those who set the bomb left. Why did I live? is the question Chance asks himself every day.
Rey’s delighted when Chelsea stops by CL’s. She just got back from New York and looks pleased when he invites her to sit with him.
Jack returns to Keemo’s house – Phyllis? Phyllis? She comes in from the garden and offers to go get food. Maybe you and Ally should be alone. No, Jack wants her by his side. He takes her hand and kisses it.
Meanwhile, on the patio, Amanda worries about how deflated Devon is every time Dom has to go home. Do you want more say in his life? So you want sole custody?
Dr Hoffman knows about survivors’ guilt – you didn’t do anything wrong. Chance reached out to his team’s families with supportive words and funeral payments. No, none of them resented him – they were grateful. Justin’s wife… widow wrote to him; told me to find peace. How the hell am I supposed to do that? I hid.
Chelsea and Rey laugh over leaving food on the roof of the car when they were on their road trip with Connor. He’s obsessed with hockey and constantly wears the jersey Rey got him for Christmas. The Blackhawks are at home next weekend, Rey thought of Chelsea … and Connor when he saw tickets on sale. He’s pleased to hear that he’s one of the few people Connor trusts.
No, Devon doesn’t want full custody of Dominic. Abby and Chance are his parents. We’re all just figuring out this new dynamic. So, why are you asking questions about Chance’s mental state? Amanda wonders. For no good reason, Devon gets irritable.
Dom’s still fussy when Chance comes home. Maybe if his Dad holds him, Abby suggests. No! he snaps – then apologizes. Abby’s sorry too. Chance agrees that a moment to decompress would be good. He worries about his negativity affecting Dom.
Just as Jack’s calling Ally to see if she changed her mind, Ally walks in. Thanking her for coming, Jack introduces Phyllis. No, we’re not bankers of lawyers. I’m Jack Abbott – Keemo was my son. That catches Ally off-guard. If I had to bet, I’d bet she’s Jack’s granddaughter.
