Things are good between Sally and Adam (who’s only hiding work stuff) You said you were going to back off, she reminds Billy that the focus should be Connor.
Glad his parents seem to almost like each other now, Connor goes off to buy drinks. That leaves Adam and Chelsea to express surprise at how intuitive Connor is – let’s hope he doesn’t pick up on anything else.
Seconds after Nick drops by, Faith gets yet another text from Lucy. She wants to hang out as soon as she’s un-grounded. Sharon suggested Faith be honest; tell Lucy she’s too young and you have nothing in common. Look at you sounding rational/normal, Cameron continues to weigh in as Sharon encourages Faith; you can be kind but also straight-forward.
At CL’s, Heather and Daniel discuss how mad Lucy is about being grounded for a week. Heather thinks she’d rather die than admit she’s learning her lesson. Someone actually DID die because I made a similar, stupid mistake (which Daniel just told Lucy about)
Still in the park, Adam and Chelsea go over their shared history. Connor’s glad we’re friends again. That night was a mistake – we don’t have to make it a catastrophe. What we did affects other people, Chelsea points out. When Connor returns with drinks, they have a race to see who can drink the fastest and not burp.
After Billy reiterates his vow to focus on helping Connor instead of questioning Adam and Chelsea, he and Sally decide to meet them in the park.
What was I like when I was little? Connor wonders if he showed signs of having OCD. Chelsea and Adam describe him as very curious – you watched everything going on around you; anything animated. Connor knows he’ll have OCD for the rest of his life – does that make you sad? Chelsea and Adam again remember a line from The Outsiders – ‘stay gold’. Be true to myself? Connor likes that. After he goes to recycle the cans, Adam takes Chelsea’s hand – we did something right.
Faith hopes her being honest with Lucy doesn’t cause any drama. That’s just what we need, drama, Sharon quips. Nick surprises all three girls by agreeing that Sharon should postpone her retreat – stay home where we can take care of you. Prince Nick rides in on his white horse again, Cameron comments.
Heather and Daniel discuss how best to handle Lucy. Phyllis once told Daniel ‘you could never lose my love’. It was just a few sips – no one was hurt – Lucy came clean, Heather thinks maybe this is how Daniel can right his past wrong. You could be saving a life. You’re a good father – you didn’t cause this. Lucy better not do anything so stupid again.
Nick needs to get back to the office. Mariah too – she hopes her Mom will let her run Cassidy First for a few days. That’s a good idea – Cameron tells Sharon that she has some things to take care of. Nick snaps her out of it – did you hear what Mariah said?
It’s been a good day, Adam and Chelsea are optimistic. IS our connection different now? Chelsea would much rather Connor pick up on them working together as a team than on their tension and guilt because of that one night. In the background, Billy and Sally look at one another. Uh oh.
