At the club, Nate also wants to hear how badly Kyle threw Audra under the bus. Kyle needs a word – in private. Ah yes, the secret investor, Nate’s left to smirk. Aside, Audra accuses Kyle of trying to sabotage her.
Mike’s groveling in Victor’s office – he has something to report. Does it have to do with Billy or not? Victor snaps.
On the patio, Chelsea claims that she’s just worried about her son. This secret is eating you up inside – Billy needs to know what happened in Baltimore.
At home, Sally’s badgering Adam. Stop gaslighting me. What does Chelsea feel so guilty about; what happened that night???
What exactly did you say to Victor? Audra asks. It was about the custody battle – and Kyle’s not the one having private meetings with Victor. Summer’s sorry (not sorry) to interrupt ‘whatever this is’. First, Audra has things to say.
Chelsea can’t deal with ‘this’ – Connor needs her full attention; he’s upstairs, alone, she stands. Billy thinks it’s important they talk. Chelsea lies some more – all she can think about right now is Connor. So, you have no time for me and what we have, Billy agrees to give Chelsea some space – but, you can’t avoid this forever – it won’t just go away.
Claiming that Chelsea feel guilty for her part in the argument, Adam also uses uses Connor to deflect. He’ll do better. Please, believe me. Sally wants to but can’t shake the feeling she’s being lied to.
Mike has nothing to report – Billy’s keeping his nose clean and being supportive of Chelsea and Connor. He has found out something else out. You’re not gonna like it, he warns Victor.
Sally persists – what are you afraid Connor will find out. Adam talks about having to re-learn how to parent Connor. Chelsea worries they’ll cause Connor to have a setback. Don’t let Billy’s paranoia get to you, he implores.
You don’t have a moment for us? Billy’s disappointed. I need this, we need this. Keeping this secret is tearing you up inside. On the verge of tears, Chelsea apologizes. I can’t do this right now, she gives him a kiss and leaves.
Audra doesn’t want Summer to drag her into a custody battle over a boy she has zero contact with. I’m not your problem – unless you want me to be. Summer again asks to speak to Kyle. This will only take a moment, Kyle tells Audra. Good luck with that, Audra returns to find Nate’s ordered her a glass of wine. You know this isn’t going to work out, right? he comments.
