(This day ahead recap episode airs in the USA on March 18. Expect spoilers! Recaps go live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
In the waiting room of Dr. Alcott’s office, Adam and Chelsea tells Connor they are ready to listen.
Connor hates all of this and himself. It hurts his mom’s heart to hear him talk that way.
They say he’s the most lovable boy in the world.
Adam knows how he feels. He’s often angry and frustrated but things got better for him and will for him too.
He’s sure this feels weird, but it will help him and they will all work to give him the best life.
Chelsea and Adam step aside and she worries about their son being so withdrawn. He can hear them.
Connor wants to go but they won’t let him. The kid hates this and doesn’t want to talk.
Adam thinks they should listen to their son but Chelsea rejects this and insists they go ahead.
Connor begs but his mom won’t budge. The doctor opens her door.
Adam supports Chelsea and tells his son they can see a movie later.
They go into the office. Connor doesn’t want to be there.
His parents prompt him to talk about his feelings because the doctor knows about dealing with emotions.
Connor keeps playing with his hoodie and says none of them understand.
Alcott suggests they don’t pay attention to Connor playing with his hoodie. She explains there is no miracle cure. This isn’t something you “beat.”
All they can do is manage the symptoms. Residential therapy is one of the most successful treatments.
He can get Exposure and Response Prevention treatment to train himself out of compulsive behavior.
A therapist can coach him through it and it’s done in the same kind of school he’s already in.
Connor assumes it’s not a school but a hospital. The doctor says it’s a place of healing and like a vacation.
This isn’t winning him over but Chelsea thinks it sounds great.
Connor isn’t happy it has no soccer. He keeps refusing and Adam says they have time to think about it and decide as a family.
The family files out and Connor says he doesn’t want to go because it would be admitting he’s crazy.
She insists that’s not it and they tell him he’s done nothing wrong and he’s just sick.
Chelsea reminds him she went away for extra help too. He just wants to go back to his room.
Adam takes him away as she stays behind. She returns to Alcott’s office with questions.
Alcott can see Connor is having a hard time accepting and understanding.
Chelsea wants to talk about herself and start breaking up, saying she’s not sure she can deal with this.
At Society, Billy notices Ashley drifting in with a strange look on her face.
As she sits at the bar, he walks over. “Hey bro! Whassup?” she asks.
He wonders if everything is okay. She says it’s all good and under control.
When Billy asks if Tucker is out of her system, she grunts and says it’s all good. “He’s out and so is…” she trails off.
Her brother asks what that means and she says Tucker is just “gross” and they are all past that.
Billy wonders if she’s really moved on. “I did it. I did it,” she says.
He says she’s not sounding like herself. He gets that break-ups are hard and she insists she’s okay.
He’s more concerned by all this “bro” talk. “I was trying to be cool. Epic fail,” she says.
Devon texts him about a board meeting so he has to go. She wishes him good luck with that.
Ashley suggests he stay out of the boxing ring. He keeps asking if she’s okay.
She asks him to stop asking and he takes off.
Once he leaves, she orders a ginger ale with a cherry.
Taking her drink, she sits at a table and tells the voice in her head that their plan is too dangerous and she will protect her.
The voices argue about what Ashley needs and she tells them she’s got this.
She sends Tucker a text saying she never wants to see him again.
