In her office, Victoria tells Nick she’s preoccupied today and needs to run an errand. She suggests he start the meeting without her. He offers to listen and she only says she has to deal with a personal matter with one of the kids that can’t go wrong.
She admits she and Bill are telling Johnny about who his bio mother is. “Wow,” Nick says.
He knows he has to do this with Chrisitan at some point. Victoria admits she’s been putting it off, but Chelsea has been wanting it.
Vicky thinks he’s old enough to know. Nick knows her son adores her. She gets a little emotional. She knows that and prays it’s the right choice.
At Crimson Lights, Chelsea tells Billy she plans on being patient about the timing of when they’ll tell Johnny the truth.
Billy lets her know they’re telling him today.
Chelsea can’t contain her excitement that Johnny will know who his bio mom is. She vows not to interfere with anything.
At Society, Nate talks with Audra Charles about the IPO and Jill being a force.
Nate tells her all about who Jill, Lily and Billy are in business. Jill’s less focused on control.
Lily and Billy work well together. She’s curious about Devon and Nate tells her he’s focused and single-minded.
Back at Crimson Lights, Sally and Chloe work on their meeting. They consolidate their to-do list and decide to go back to the office.
Adam finds them and jokes that they’re planning world domination. “Every morning,” Sally says. He’d never bet against her.
Chloe asks what’s going on. Sally says she’s moved on but they work and live in the same town and they agree they want to remain civil.
Adam is stepping back so doesn’t find a reason for awkwardness. He leaves when it does become awkward.
Chloe’s surprised at the maturity and is proud that Sally’s focusing on herself. Sally says he’s still on her mind but it’s less and less. Nick texts to stop by.

He asks what’s really going on and if anything will change.
They assure him nothing will change and it was time to know. They didn’t want him to hear it from anyone else.
