Thursday’s recap: Tensions Rise as Billy Thinks Lily Looks Petty, Chelsea & Adam Spiral & Lily’s Tired of Playing Nice
(This day ahead recap episode airs in the USA on April 19. Expect spoilers! Recaps go live by 4:15 PM EST daily.)
As soon as Sharon arrives at Adam’s condo, he begins ranting about Connor. She tells him to slow down.
Adam feels helpless and says there’s an update with his son’s doctors and it’s not good.
He tells her about what he feels is the doctor’s “cookie-cutter” diagnosis. She can see it was a lot of information at once but Adam says that’s not the problem.
He calls it “just a bunch of jargon” that was supposed to impress him.
She doubts that. She talks up the team, thinking they probably know how wonderful the kid is. She says to trust himself more.
Adam continues to cut down the psychiatrists. He tells her that the “brilliant specialists” are calling him out for his son’s life being “one traumatic event after another.”
Sharon again asks him to slow down. She doesn’t think for one moment they’re laying the blame on him.
Adam says they made him feel that way. “Or are you making yourself feel that way?” Sharon asks. He fills her in on the conversation with Connor’s therapist.
Sharon knows Connor has a lot to deal with and she knows what it feels like to have your mistakes ricochet on to your children but she asks him not to take this all into himself.
It won’t help anyone. Adam agrees Connor doesn’t blame him but he feels all of their problems are his fault.
“Oh no,” Sharon exclaims.
She’s upset to learn he’s questioning being born.
Adam doesn’t know how to process this.
He shouldn’t be dealing with any of this. Why didn’t he see what Connor was going through?
He could have done something about it. Sharon asks what he could have done.
He’s not sure. Sharon thinks he’ll forgive himself when he accepts Connor has an illness and he’s human and fallible.
Parents always have moments where they feel a failure.
Sharon doesn’t believe anyone is responsible for the OCD, instead, he should give himself credit for doing right by his kid.
The facility is the right place for him.
Summer falls asleep in Harrison’s room at the Abbott mansion and dreams she can’t find Harrison.
She wakes up with a start, holding his stuffed fox.
She calls Chance and lets him know she needs his help.
