Sally needs Chloe’s help figuring out what to tell Adam. Chloe thinks she should have Nick tested first. Only bring Adam into the equation if Nick’s not. Don’t give him a reason to come storming into your life. When Nick arrives, Chloe leaves. You’re lucky to have her, he comments.
Over tea, Tessa tells Elena that she and Mariah were on their way to the airport when Delphine called to say it was only braxton hicks. She wonders if there’s anything she can do to ensure the baby’s safety.
Mike gets to the ranch as Jack gives Victor one more warning – stay out of Jabot’s affairs – you lost Adam as an employee and son; make peace with that. Mike’s left to update Victor that Tucker’s company is in heavy debt – but if you want control, you’ll have to convince him.. Victor looks forward to dealing with that SOB.
Wheeling her luggage into the hotel lobby, Diane’s taunted by Tucker (who implies she’ll lose her newfound happiness)
Praising Tessa’s maternal instincts, Elena says that all she and Mariah can do is be on standby. Chances of something going wrong are slim to none. Tessa then admits that she feels unprepared for motherhood.
Jack gets home seconds before Diane. She declines his offer to have her stuff in LA shipped out. Is it wrong to be this happy? The people who love us will come around – the rest don’t matter, Jack says.
In his suite, Tucker leaves a message for Ashley – he wants a chance to come clean – to explain his foolish subterfuge. Would you meet me for lunch in Paris?
At the office, Nate wants to clean the air about their brainstorming session. Vikki felt invigorated – we should have ,ore meeting’s like that, don’t you think? Looking uncomfortable, Nate hesitates a moment before following his boss-lady.
Nick’s surprised when Sally announces that she’s scheduled a paternity test for today.
By the time they get to her office, Vikki seems to understand that her and Nate’s relationship is professional only. When they walk in, Victor asks Nate to leave so that he and Mike can speak to Vikki.
Elena gives Tessa a pep talk. You’ll learn some things; others will be instinct. Coming to ask how to shield your daughter from harm even before she’s born – the baby’s lucky to have two strong women as Mothers.
At CL’s, Adam badgers Chloe about what’s going on with Sally. She wants nothing to do with you – she and Nick are bonded together now. Bonded? How? Adam pounces. Chloe recovers with a barrage of words.
Diane quickly disappears when Adam stops by to tell Jack that Kyle IS working with Victor – your son’s lying to you.
No, Sally hasn’t talked to Adam – she’ll take Chloe’s advice and not tell Adam unless she has to. How would you feel about me telling Adam before the test? Is that what you want? Nick hopes he never has to know but when/if you do, I’ll have your back.
Tessa thanks Elena for her kind words and faith. Elena’s happy to be making things work with Nate – we both are.
Vikki insists that Nate sit on on the meeting – he’d be a valuable asset to our plan. Nate’s input will benefit all of us, Daddy. Nate puffs his chest out a bit.
