When Cole gets to the ranch, Vikki hopes he doesn’t mind that they’re gathering at the jazz lounge. To hear about about Neil Winters, who almost became a stepfather to Claire.
At the jazz lounge for a drink with Chance, Summer gets a text from Daniel (who she’ll meet for breakfast tomorrow)
Daniel’s at CW to speak to Lily – about Omegasphere, more specifically Princess Louisa.
Back upstairs, Audra now agrees that something unsettling is happening with Ashley. Tucker hopes that her family will get her some help.
Traci’s gathered Billy, Jack and Diane to discuss Ashley; who she’s scared to death for.
The young/innocent and mean versions of Ashley are in a white room butting heads over how to protect her.
At the bar, Summer and Chance discuss the repercussions of Daniel reuniting with Heather. He went to a dark place and pushed everyone away – Princess Louisa brought them back together. Summer worries her brother may spiral again.
Daniel understands being fired but begs Lily to let him keep Princess Louisa. You stood by and cheered me on in bringing her to life and Lucy back to me. Don’t take her away from me.
The battle of the Ashley’s continues. The plan is for the ‘sweet vessel’ (asleep) to remain innocent while Audra takes the fall.
When Tucker brings the engagement ring out, Audra admits feeling bad for Ashley.
The debate continuing, Traci tells her siblings that this is bigger than a McCall ploy. Things have gotten more dangerous than you know.
