Adam arrives at Crimson Lights and Sally takes off, leaving him to confront his son about being at the coffee shop unsupervised.
Connor doesn’t think it’s a big deal but he doesn’t think his mother loves him as much as she says. Adam denies it. They both love him.
Connor says that if she did, she wouldn’t be acting the way she does. She’s always sad these days.
Adam sighs and promises him that he’s his mom’s “heart and soul.”
She’s going through something and knows it can be on the other side of that. It’s not his job to help her.
Connor thinks it has to do with Johnny.
Adam calls it complicated and Connor says that if his mom misses Johnny so much, “she never should have given him up in the first place.”
Adam explains that she wasn’t in a place to care for him and let someone else.
Connor thinks it’s black and white and asks why his mom didn’t give him away too. Adam says she did a lot of work on herself since Johnny was born and they wanted to raise him.
Adam tells his son that he knows how Johnny feels.
He admits he felt that way when he learned Victor was his father.
He encourages his son to tell him anything.
Chelsea walks in and overhears him saying that Chelsea came out with the truth because she didn’t want to keep any secrets from him. She eavesdrops for a bit and then approaches with Connor’s backpack.
She sends the kid for a pastry and worries about their son to her ex. She’ll make it right. She knows Adam’s furious and blames her.
He wants to bring in a professional to talk to their son.
She agrees but feels shamed. She failed, miserably. He just wants a way to move on from it. She worries he’s judging her.
Conor reappears and she tells him she loves him. He says the same and the guys leave.
At Chancellor-Winters, Lily is confused about Nate being willing to hand over their family business to someone else.
They grew up together!
Billy asks her not to second guess herself about this.
She admits she believed her family wasn’t like the Newmans or Abbotts.
Billy’s not offended.
He’s sorry. Lily urges him not to stick around because of this.
He hates the thought of leaving her here to deal with the fallout alone but she wants him to find his path.
They kiss and both agree that at least they’re not leaving each other.

At Nate’s apartment, he tells Devon that he wanted to be a success but doesn’t think Devon would let him and this opportunity was the only way he could think of to prove himself.
“You don’t know how to manage people,” he tells his cousin.
Devon argues that his track record with employees speaks for itself. Nate is doubtful. Devon lets Nate know how the boss and employee relationship works.
They argue and Devon says he screwed over his family and lost his girl. Nate thinks Devon must have had her followed as Victor Newman would do.
“You crave nothing more than control.”
Devon thinks that’s ridiculous and doesn’t like that Nate’s acting like a victim.
Nate thinks this is about Devon’s need for control. Nate admits this is about his injury. He hasn’t forgiven him. Devon reminds him that he had sex with his girlfriend.
Nate says and in return, Devon took everything he had.
He tried to let go of the pain and anger.
He thinks something is going on with Devon. Devon says that’s not it. Nate was a novice in the business.
He calls him arrogant and thinks it’s best to step back and learn the ropes in a new job.

Nick says it’s not cool.
She crossed the line, but Sally says it was sweet. She let Summer know they’re just friends.
Nick says he told her the same thing. They both admit they saw Adam who looked hungover.
Nick confesses he talked with him on the rooftop. He knows he’s in a lot of pain and brought up their spending time together.
It’s taking a toll. Sally apologizes. It doesn’t change anything.
She brings up seeing Connor alone at Crimson Lights and that Adam was late for picking him up.
They rehash her break up and she can’t ignore the impact she’s had on Adam and thinks the deal with Connor as a result.
Nick counters that Adam’s a grown man.
She knows but hates seeing him suffer, especially when her career is going well. Nick looks shifty. He admits he knows Adam cares for her.
If she still has feelings for Adam then he has to step away. Sally thinks they’re better at managing business than their emotions.
He thinks it’s clear they’ve loads of chemistry. She laughs and thinks it’s time for her to figure out what she wants.
Chelsea sits on a park bench and flashes to telling Connor about being Johnny’s mama. She looks sad. Billy turns up. She’s been on his mind and asks how she’s doing.
She stammers and is tired of feeling sorry for herself.
She’s glad and hopes she can feel strong.
He lets her know he’s pulling for her but Katie and Johnny are coming to the park and it’s best she’s not there. She leaves.
