Sally arrives at Society. She tells Nick she’s always glad to have dinner with a colleague.
He tells her how much everyone appreciates her even after she missed that marketing meeting. He asks how she did it. She explains she was candid and apologized.
He moves on to ask what her plan for success is. She’d like to learn from her past mistakes for once.
She admits she’s impulsive while he confesses he overthinks things. Talk turns to New Hope. She’s curious about it, so he tells her a little and then they remind each other they’re keeping this professional.
Adam finds Chelsea sitting alone at Crimson Lights.
He asks if she’ll reconsider his proposition about going away with Connor. It’ll be good for the three of them. She suggests he make it a father/son trip.
She shrugs him off and Adam thinks it means she must need to talk. He offers to listen. She’s reluctant. He pressures her. When she clams up, talk turns to Connor wanting a VR game.
They talk about setting limits on Connor’s time gaming and Adam invites her out to discuss it. Only that. She agrees.
Victoria busts into Billy’s office ranting about how Johnny’s completely shutting her out and has closed himself in his room as he plays video games with his friends.
Billy says he’s trying to distract himself. She knows but he’ll have to deal with this sooner or later.
He wants nothing to do with his biological mother and Vicky admits neither does she.
She complains about Chelsea going to her office and pushing her to talk to Johnny.
Billy’s incensed at hearing that. Victoria thinks they made a terrible mistake. He wonders how she could mislead them. Vicky reminds her ex that Chelsea was a con artist.
Billy reminds her that a lot of people knew about Chelsea and it was best that he heard it from them.
She knows, but they answered questions that Johnny didn’t even ask.
She recalls that when they asked him if he wanted to know who his bio mother was that he said no.
They talk about how to spend time with him so he knows they’re there for him. He tells her about the blanket she gave him.
She wanted him to have it so he’d know he was always loved. Vicky bristles at that.
She yells that Chelsea doesn’t get to decide anything about how they deal with their son, nor does she get to force a relationship on him. He agrees but asks her to be patient with Chelsea.
Victoria freaks out and reminds Billy that Chelsea knows no boundaries. If he wants to talk to her when he’s 18, fine. But they’ll honor his preferences and she expects Billy to close the door on her.
