Chelsea orders a double martini then accepts Vikki’s invitation to join her (in the jazz lounge)
On the patio to asks Mariah/Tessa if there’s any update on Sharon. There’s no sign of her – it’s like she just disappeared. But Mariah knows her Mom’s alive. I’d feel it if she wasn’t.
Sharon has a dream that Nick rescues her – but awakens to find herself still chained to the pipe.
Approaching Chance at Society (where he’s having drinks with Summer) Nick’s frustrated that there’s no news on Sharon. We’ll find her, Chance promises.
Where the hell have you been!? Jordan’s pissed when Ian comes ‘home’. He doesn’t like her tone. She doesn’t like him sneaking out – and being no closer to HER goals. What the hell is going on!?
Sitting with Mariah and Tessa, Claire delicately floats the idea that Sharon doesn’t want to be found. Mariah’s sure that’s not the case. Mom was back on her meds and her old self again – and there’s proof she didn’t kill Heather. Believing Ian’s involved, she threatened to kill him. Tessa reports that Ian came to see her (after being told not to) He was checking to see how I was and said he wanted to make amends. Mariah’s happy to hear that Abby threw him out. He’s lying and up to something.
Jordan blasts Ian for leading that ‘meathead’ (Nick) to their ‘safe-house’. It’s all part of Ian’s plan. He’s filed a report with the police that the Newmans are after him and went to Society to check on Mariah’s wife – that crazy blonde Abby threw me out. But not before he implied to Tessa that he’s responsible for her well-being because he saved her life. Ian reiterates the plan – through the lovely Mariah and Tessa he’ll have an in with Claire. Patience. Refusing to get screwed over – Jordan terminates the plan – she’ll take matters into her own hands,
What happened that one night wasn’t Adam’s fault – Chelsea doesn’t want to hear Vikki bash him. She’s surprised when Vikki comments on the change she’s seen in Adam – he’s really stepped up for Connor. Seeing the way you and Adam are working together for your son’s sake, no one would be surprised if you got back together.
Nick shares his theory that someone else put Sharon’s car in the river.
End our partnership!? Ian balks. We’re a good team, we’ve made progress. This is all criss, no cross, Jordan’s tired of being used. I’ve been flawless. No, you’ve been careless – you bungled the job I asked you to do – but Ian was willing to overlook it because of Jordan’s charms. Sharon’s not dead, is she!? his question is rhetorical.
Funny, you’re not the only Newman who mentioned that to me, Chelsea explains that Victor’s been cheerleading the cause. He probably sees things the way I do, Vikki assumes – you’re better together – for Connor. Adam and I aren’t you and Cole. Chelsea’s happy for them but things aren’t the same with Adam and me. Vikki doesn’t think her moving to the ranch with Adam ‘the worst idea’.
