Sally tells her that Adam finally admitted he broke up with her to protect her.

It made it worse that he purposefully hurt her. He didn’t trust her enough to bring him along his new path. He’s after his father. “Again?” Sharon asks.

She assumes Adam didn’t want her involved in going up against his dad. Sally realizes that Victor will always be Adam’s primary relationship. Sharon says Adam’s alone again. Sally hates being alone and asks how Sharon handles it. She immediately apologizes.

She blurts things out and didn’t mean anything by it. Sharon says it’s okay. There’s a difference between being alone and lonely.

She’s surrounded by loved ones. Surviving cancer made her appreciate being alone, making the most out of every day. Sally loves that outlook and hopes she’ll get there one day. Sally considers how supportive Nick is with her.

Sharon says it hasn’t always been rosy, but he’s a good man and she’s lucky to have him in her life.

Nick finds Victoria at the office. She tells Nick they need to stop the Newman name from being dragged through the mud.

She thinks they need to bring Sally in on this. Use her to manipulate Adam. Nick refuses her.

She’s been nothing but loyal to the family. Victoria agrees. They still need to protect Nick.

He claims he doesn’t need any and it’s starting to make him understand Adam. Victoria calls him emotional which is why he lashes out all the time. She hopes he’s not trying to unite them against Dad.

He’s not. He doesn’t agree with what Adam’s doing but he gets it.

And it’s too bad since they were getting along. Victoria snaps that she never bought his transformation.

She calls what Adam’s doing ‘slander’ and Nick reminds her he did cover up Locke’s death. It’s not slander if it’s true. Victor appears and interrupts. He tells them he’ll take care of Adam’s threats.

He tells his grown-up kids to celebrate that they put this behind them.

The newlyweds leave the notes and say their goodbyes. Devon takes off and it’s just Abby, Dom and a quiet Chance.

Abby asks what’s up with her husband. He claims he’s enjoyed the picnic and the memories with Dom. She pushes him to respond to why he’s quiet. He’s vague. There’s something on his mind.

She begs. He admits he’s worried about the Locke case. He filed the report to close it but can’t stop thinking about it.

She tells him to stop thinking about it. She thinks he’s made the right choice. He says she doesn’t understand him. She’s sorry. He gets a call and has to meet an informant on Rey’s open cases. She asks if someone else can do it but it has to be him. Dom plays with balloons and she asks if they can get away for a vacation once this is over. They kiss and he goes. Abby asks Dom if he had fun. She did — for a while.

She cleans up and says she can’t wait for him to graduate high school and open these notes from those who love him so.

Devon returns. He forgot his tablet and grabs it. He notices she’s down. She’s emotional and can’t believe Dom’s turned one.

He tells her to talk to him so she tells him a little about Chance’s issues. Devon reminds her that Chance is crazy about them. He explains to Abby who her husband is. She was taught that family comes first. He knows.

She was brought up by Victor. Chance isn’t built the same. Devon knows Chance loves them. They’re his first priority. They embrace, and Abby’s grateful.

Inside, they cheer to the Newmans together. Victor says the division heads felt confident after that Zoom conference.

They drink to that and that Locke’s out of their family. Victoria drinks to a time when they forget he ever existed and Nick looks anxious. Adam turns up. He asks to pick up the tab but Victor says it’s not necessary.

Adam wants to show there are no hard feelings on his part. Victoria asks what he’s up to. He’s not looking for a battle.

He had an epiphany and isn’t up for revenge again. He wants to focus on his life. “Enjoy yourselves,” he says before he goes.

Victoria doesn’t believe that for a minute. Victor will deal with him. Everyone leaves and Nick goes to Adam to ask if his epiphany is real. Adam says yes.

Someone convinced him he was going down the right path.  He says none of his issues are with Nick. It’s just Dad. Nick is concerned he’ll weaponize what he knows about Locke. 

Adam cautions his brother that one wrong move and Dad will be on him. Nick says the night Locke died was an accident. “Of course, it was an accident.” He believes Nick had no choice.

He’s glad he was there to protect Victoria. Nick says their father would have protected him, too. Adam talks about killing someone and having Victor fix it. He knows taking a man’s life isn’t easy to forget. He suppressed what he did in Kansas for a long time and it made him turn into who he is today. “Is that what you want, Nick?”

Adam walks away, leaving Nick to think.
