Chloe reminds Kate that she hates her. Why does she care? “Kate” says her son needs Chloe. Chloe explains that they lied about Lucas dying. She cries over Brady having internal injuries and wishes the person who caused the accident could be there to see their handiwork. Back by the hub, Sami tells Lucas she thinks Kristen is using a Kate mask. “Kate” walks up and Lucas asks, “Mom is that you?” Sami tries to rip her mask off and they fight. “Kate” takes off and Lucas says if that was Kristen, where’s his mother? Kristen rips off her mask and seethes about Chloe, calling her filthy names. Sami goes off alone. Later, Kristen returns as herself to Brady’s room in a surgeon’s scrubs and a mask.
