Sally tells Adam that he can share anything with her. She can sense he is holding something back and encourages him to talk to her.
Adam claims it’s Connor and the new job. He wishes he could fix it all but he can’t.
Sally hates all that for him but insists this is different. She is picking up a tension vibe from him, which is different and new. She wants to figure out what’s behind it.
Adam reminds her that he gave her a long list of things. She suggests one thing is missing from the list and wants to know if she has done something to upset him.
Sharon’s House
Sharon is alone and stands at the mantle, looking at photographs. Her cell phone notifies her of an incoming text message.
She is puzzled by Mariah’s message concerning a meeting. She types a response asking for clarification on the meeting but deletes it before sending it.
Nick knocks at the door. Sharon assumes, incorrectly, that he is there to see Faith and informs him she’s not there. Nick clarifies that he’s there to see her.
Sharon says it must be her lucky day and wonders what’s up.
Nick says it’s time they talked about what’s going on with her.
Newman Enterprises
Victoria and Victor read over the press release updating the changes to the empire.

Sharon’s House
Nick points out that the food on the table looks familiar. He saw Sharon pick it up hours ago, yet she hasn’t touched it. He jokingly asks if she still eats.
Sharon reminds him he saw her eat a kale salad the other night. She digs in the bag and says it’s the perfect excuse to take a break from work.
Nick calls out that she’s steering the conversation away from her. Sharon admits she’s been a little out of sorts because of her workload and her medication adjustment period. The medication is still being tweaked but she is getting better at delegating at work.
Nick wants to discuss what happened earlier at Society.
Sharon points out that there was a time when he would not have batted an eye at her snapping at Phyllis, but it’s because Phyllis knows how to press all of Sharon’s buttons.
Sharon figures she will return to her “normal, sweet self” once her medication adjustment levels out.
Nick is worried because she’s been in this adjustment period for a while now. Sharon claims she has a great doctor who consistently checks on her. She promises he is on top of it and she will be fine.
Sharon says it’s nice knowing how much Nick cares about her.
Newman Enterprises
Victoria clarifies to her father that it’s not just her and her mother… There are three of them since Nick is included.
Victor shrugs. He’s not surprised.
Victoria tells her father they need assurance that Nikki will get her job back when she is ready to return, and Nikki states she prefers to get the details in writing.
Victor assures them he has a plan, and it will take its course.
Victoria can’t believe he expects them to settle for that response.
Nikki points out how Victor knows what stock he plans to buy ten weeks in advance.

Adam apologizes if Sally feels slighted. She points out that their fight wasn’t that ugly, but she wants to know if something else happened.
Adam tells her he made a mistake with Chelsea following Connor’s relapse. Sally wants to know what he did.
Adam says his hopes were high but then crushed when Connor relapsed. He tells Sally he was weak and took his frustrations out on the mother of his son; it’s unforgivable, and he treated her horribly.
Sally is certain Chelsea understands and mentions how she saw her earlier and Chelsea didn’t mention anything about it.
Adam says Chelsea is a much better person than he is. He tells Sally that Billy visited him earlier, and he was forced to admit the details to him. He feels awful and knows Sally and Billy deserve this explanation. Adam recognizes he has been pushing Sally away and insists he will make it up to her.

Sharon’s House
Nick points out to Sharon that he did most of the eating.
Sharon says she was trying to save some for Faith. She says she’s proud of Faith and admits they came close to losing her like they did Cassie.
Nick suggests that her thoughts don’t have to take that negative path. He says it’s easy for memories to resurface.
Sharon wonders how he can be so cautious and fun at once. They agree that parenting is a never-ending role, and Sharon asks about Summer and how she’s doing.
Nick shares that Summer is considering a battle for custody of Harrison and it doesn’t help that Phyllis is fanning the flames.
That sounds about right to Sharon. In her opinion, Phyllis will pounce on anything involving others and not just concerning her children.
Newman Enterprises
Victor accuses his wife and daughter of blindsiding him with new conditions.
Nikki insists they are not ganging up on him. She advises that Adam is concerned as well.

Victoria claims that clarifying the roles will benefit the entire family. Nikki knows Victor but stresses she will not work alongside Adam if that is his ultimate goal.

Victor figures they must think they have him over a barrel since he’s ready to release the press statements.
Sharon’s House
Nick insists to Sharon that Phyllis means well and doesn’t believe there is any harm with Phyllis talking to Faith.

Victor’s text message interrupts Sally and Adam’s conversation. Sally points out the notification, but Adam claims she is more important.
Sally says this makes sense and is sure that Chelsea isn’t holding this against him.
Adam is looking for a way to deal with his emotions and never intended to hurt anyone. He doesn’t want to provide any details and suggests they try to move on from it.
Sharon’s House
Sharon suggests to Nick that Phyllis likely stirred up some painful emotions for her, and Sharon is an easy target. She admits to thinking a lot about Cassie lately.
Nick wonders why Sharon’s been thinking of Cassie so much. Sharon suggests that it might be because she named the company after her and works on projects in Cassie’s honor, which serves as a constant reminder that she’s not here. Sharon sees Mariah and the baby and notes that it’s sad Cassie will never have that experience.
Nick points out that they are coming up on twenty years without her. Sharon is emotional and says some days are easier than others. Nick points out how those “Other Days” are his worry and wants her to reach out to him because he is there for her.
Sharon insists she will work through all this and thanks Nick for his concern.
Nick gets Victor’s message and shares that his father has beckoned. He also notes that Adam is on the group text.
Sharon wonders what that is all about. She thanks Nick again for stopping by and walks him out.

Lily likes Chance and insists they keep him around, even if it prevents Billy from making shady business deals.
Billy gets a message from Chelsea. He says he could wring Adam’s neck right now.
Adam heads over to his phone and tells Sally she is dissecting everything he says now. He regrets how he treated Chelsea and wants to leave it at that. He hopes Sally feels the same way.
Sally agrees. She has a meeting with Summer and excuses herself. Adam wants to know if they are good. She tells him they are and exits.
Adam sighs in relief, thinking he successfully defused the situation. Sally stands outside his office door and appears more worried than ever.
Newman Enterprises
Nikki tells Victor the wait is killing them.
Victor encourages their patience will pay off.
Adam enters and wonders if this is an entire family firing.
Victor shares with the group that Adam will be the new, permanent CEO of Newman Media.
Nikki knew he was going to do this and is ticked off, and Victoria points out how wrong this is. Nikki questions how Victor can do something like this to her, knowing how much she loves Newman Media.
Chancellor-Winters
Billy shares with Lily that if he is reading the situation correctly, Adam took all his anger and frustration about Connor’s situation out on Chelsea, but Chelsea won’t talk to Billy about it.
Lily says that’s a new low, even for Adam. Lily defends Chelsea and suggests it is difficult being a mom.
Billy agrees and says he must apologize to Lily for accusing her of attempting to double-cross him. He tells her she is a good person and should be treated accordingly.
Lily says they both likely have doubts about each other but agree this is where she needs to be.
Sharon’s House
Sharon sits alone on the sofa and stares off past the laptop. She thinks she hears knocking at the door and answers it to find Nick has returned.
Sharon asks if Nick if he forgot something.
Nick doesn’t say anything. He grabs Sharon and pulls her in for a kiss.
Newman Enterprises
Nick enters the offices at Newman Enterprises, and Victor greets him. Nick can feel the tension in the room and wonders what’s going on.
Nikki is quick to point out the news about Adam’s permanent position.

Victor says they can stop acting like he’s deceiving them, as they will soon find out. Victor explains that he is in the process of acquiring a company that’s almost as big as Newman.
Adam’s surprised his father would admit a company like that exists.
Victor says it does exist, and it’s Nikki’s to run.
Nikki thinks this is some consolation prize. She has no connection and no familiarity with it.
Victor quickly corrects her and informs her that her good friend Katherine Chancellor is looking down from Heaven in approval. Nikki and the siblings are shocked as Victor tells her she is about to take control of Chancellor Industries.
Chancellor-Winters
Billy and Lily continue to golf and talk. He insists that Abbott-Chancellor will soon take off in ways Katherine and Jill never thought.
