Devon’s impressed by it all. Adam wants to show Genoa City that he is changing. Nick doesn’t like the name. It makes it sound like it’s cut off from Newman Enterprises.

Chloe visits Chelsea at the psych ward. She’s glad that her friend didn’t get prison time and wants to celebrate. “Did you bring a cake?” Chloe says it was confiscated at the door along with the hat, streamers and the stripper. Chelsea smirks but gets agitated about Adam being with her son when she’s not allowed to reach out to him. She thinks Adam will poison his mind against her. Chloe doesn’t think he’d do that. It’d upset Connor. Chelsea is finding it hard to keep up the rouse. “I’m sane. I’m fine and perfectly fit to spend time with my son.” She cries.
Nina’s back from Hollywood. Abby thinks it’s glam, but Nina explains that it isn’t in the least. She shopped a little for the baby. Abby gloats that Mariah has a baby bump. Abby heard from Chance who seems to be doing well. Nina’s happy to hear. Abby feels positive that she gets to talk to him and isn’t completely shut out. Plus, they get to see the baby at the ultrasound. They may wait to find out the gender until Chance returns. Summer appears and Abby says hello. She’s cagey and they insist she stays and visit. She sits and tells them she’s worried for her friend. She tells them that her friend found out he’s a father from an affair. She describes what’s going on in her life as though it’s about her friend and Nina asks why the woman kept the child a secret. “That’s a red flag,” Abby says. Nina wonders if she has an ulterior motive. Summer guesses she might be right but Abby doesn’t think she has to be a villain. Her mom lied about her birth and didn’t do it out of cruelty. They forgave her. She had three incredible parents. Maybe Summer’s friend will embrace her new reality. Nina still thinks she should be worried. If the man had feelings for the woman, co-parently could bring up old feelings for the man.
