At Society, Nikki and Victor start freaking out when the call from Victoria drops. She worries that there may have been an accident. He calls his security people and asks them to find his daughter.
Victoria’s car has run off the road and straight into a tree. She is unconscious behind the wheel.
Ashland wakes up behind the wheel of his car and quickly discovers a tree is wedged against his door. He calls to Victoria, but she is not responding. After finding his phone has been destroyed, he notices her car is on fire.
“My God no!” he gasps. He calls for help and pushes his way out the door, limping over to Victoria’s car. After prying the door open, he checks her pulse and lifts her out of the car.
Ashland carries her to some random cabin in the woods. His hands are covered in burns. When he finally manages to get her to wake up, she lurches back and tells him to stay away from her.
He tells her they were in an accident. His phone was destroyed so he can’t call for help. Locke tells her to stay still while he checks her car for a phone. Once he’s gone, she tries to stand but can’t.
Ashland returns as she whimpers for help. Her car was engulfed in flames and they are stranded. As he hobbles around the cabin, he tells her how grateful he is that she’s okay.
She wonders how he of all people found her in her car and asks if he ran her off the road. He’s adamant that he had nothing to do with the accident. The reason he was there when she crashed was because he was following her.
Ashland was terrified of what could have happened as she drove through the fog in distress. He’d hurt her enough and couldn’t handle the thought of anything else hurting her again.
She senses that there is something he is not telling her and demands to know what it is. He begs her not to tax herself until they get her medical attention. She tries to recall the accident. There were lights coming at her and they weren’t his since he was behind her.
“Oh my God! There was another car involved,” she realizes. He assures her the accident wasn’t her fault. She was on the phone with her mother when the lights got in her eyes. Then everything went black.
Ashland explains she swerved to avoid the oncoming car. She ran into a tree and the car ran into him and pushed him off the road. He got out of his car and pulled her out of hers as it burned.
She notices he’s covered in burns. He actually risked his life to save her. The last time this happened, he left his best friend in a burning car. He couldn’t do that to her. She asks if this was a hit and run and if the other driver is still out there.
He tries to calm her, but she needs to know if the other driver is okay. Locke tells her that he checked the other driver when he went back, but there was nothing he could do.
“It was someone you know… Rey Rosales,” he tells her.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon tells Nick that she’s sure Rey will be having a nice night, but it won’t be with her. After she gestures to Chelsea and Connor on the patio, she fills him in on the other woman going on the hockey trip with her husband.
Nick assures her she doesn’t need to feel threatened. Sharon knows her husband is one hundred percent trustworthy, but Chelsea is capable of anything. Plus, they are spending the night, so it’s hard not to instinctively jump to conclusions.
He agrees that Chelsea is not trustworthy, but Rey is solid. Victor calls to see if he’s heard from Victoria. His parents think she might have been in an accident. Nick has no idea where she might be. His father warns him about how terrible the weather is.
Getting off the line, Nick tells Sharon that his sister might have been in an accident and takes off.
On the patio, Connor and Chelsea wonder what is taking Rey so long. Connor doesn’t want to be late to the game. She makes a call and assures her son they still have plenty of time.
Chelsea goes to the counter and asks Sharon if she’s heard from Rey. He’s not answering her calls. Sharon tries calling her husband and leaves a message. She and Chelsea decide he must have just stopped somewhere because it’s not safe on the road.
Chelsea notices Sharon doesn’t seem to believe this. Sharon tells her that the Newmans think Victoria may have been in an accident. She wonders if Rey is involved somehow. They hope everyone is alright.
When Chance wanders in, Sharon asks if he’s heard anything about an accident. He hasn’t but makes a call to check if there have been any reports. After he makes the call, he says there have only been some fender benders.
Sharon worries that Rey is late. Chance says he should have been there by now.
Connor continues to worry they will be late. His mom assures him Rey will make it up to him.
At the Grand Phoenix, Adam looks out the window of his room and flashes back to making out in the room with Sally.
Smiling at the flower petals on the bed and sipping champagne, he calls Sally to wish she was there, but she doesn’t need to rush given how bad the fog is.
Victor calls his son, but Adam hasn’t heard anything from his sister. Not that she would be likely to call him. He assures his father that she’s tough enough to handle herself in any situation.
Sally arrives and Adam informs her that his sister might have been in an accident. This kind of ruins the mood for their celebration.
He complains that even if this situation was fixed, no one would bother telling him about it.
His father only talks to him when it is useful. Sally reminds him of how often Victor chases her out of his office to speak to him. She’s surprised to see how concerned he is about his sister.
Adam wonders if she thinks he would be happy his sister was hurt or worse just because it would make their place at Newman-Locke that much more secure.
It hurts her to think that he imagines she is that cold-blooded. Adam apologizes and tells her she’d be surprised to know how deeply he understand how she feels.
He admits that he’s been asking himself the twisted question he just put to her.
He hates that thoughts like that occur to him. He admits that he saw Victoria’s relationship with Locke as something he could take advantage of.
Sally knows his relationship with his sister is all about one-upmanship. But she wouldn’t be falling in love with him if she really believed that’s all there was to him.
Back at Society, Victor assures Nikki that their daughter will be found. Nick joins his parents and tells them he had no luck looking for his sister. Now the roads are too dangerous and they should leave this to the professionals.
Victor starts blaming himself for this. Nikki is sure that Ashland is to blame.
They wonder where Locke is. Nick suggests this might not have been an accident. His father gets a call informing him that both Locke and Victoria have disappeared.
Nikki worries. Her husband gets another call. An accident has been reported.
