Jack: Look, she kept a picture from the country club in her safe-deposit box by itself for how many years? He kept this letter for even longer.

Traci: Maybe they dated?

Jack: Wouldn't she have mentioned that.

Cane: Here they are. The original pages from katherine's will. This confirms what you've been saying is true. Just have to get them authenticated, right?

Connor: I heard mom and nick talking about grandpa. Is he going to be okay?

Adam: He's gonna be just fine. Your grandpa's invincible.

Chelsea: We need to get adam back. I thought we agreed. I thought you understood how important this is to me.

Nick: I do. That's why I'm gonna go to vegas. I'll bring adam back.

Chelsea: Connor, honey? Can you come out here, please? Connor!

Connor: Yeah?

Chelsea: Hey. So, we're gonna go visit your grandpa victor today. I know he wants to spend some time with you, and I think it will be good for you to see that he's doing all right, to see for yourself. How's that sound? Okay, well, why don't you go grab your jacket, and then we'll head out.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Let me guess -- phyllis told you where to find me.

Nick: Does it matter?

Adam: She shouldn't have done that. And you shouldn't have come here. Because I don't want to talk to you.

Nick: Well, that's too bad. 'Cause I got a lot to say tyou.

Jack: I picked up mother's favorite hibiscus tea, and some of those french macarons she likes so much from the french bakery on chestnut.

Traci: Oh, that was so thoughtful, jack. She'll love it.

Jack: Can you think of anything else she might want?

Traci: Uh, well, no. Let's start with tea, and then, if she wants something more substantial, the kitchen is stocked.

Jack: Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

Traci: Jack, you seem rather anxious about the visit today.

Jack: No, it's -- it's not anxious.

Traci: No?

Jack: I'm just eager to know more about that letter that she wrote to stuart brooks. What it means, if anything.

Traci: It certainly would add an interesting chapter to the abbott family memoirs.

Jack: I realize she may not remember anything, and she may not be able to articulate an answer.

Traci: All right. Why don't we just focus on spending time with mother today? We'll see what kind of day she's having. And if it's a good one, and she seems comfortable, then we'll broach the subject.

Jack: Perfect. We got a plan.

Traci: And the minute she gets upset --

Jack: No, I -- we stop everything. I want this to be a lovely visit for her. That is the most important thing.

Traci: Agreed.

Jack: But wouldn't it be wonderful if we could open another window into her past?

Jill: Am I gonna have to give you the lecture that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Cane: Okay, well, I can't stop you from doing that, can I? All right?

Jill: Well, you can if you help me eat this scone. It's, uh, as big as my head.

Cane: [ Sighs ] Hey, esther.

Esther: Uh, sorry to interrupt.

Jill: What are you doing here?

Esther: Well, I'm very upset about the situation with mrs. C's will, so when i overheard you planning to meet cane, I decided to come.

Jill: Oh, my god. You are so ridiculous. If you'd wanted to come, you should have just asked, for heaven's sakes. I'm not heartless.

Cane: It's okay. Hey, esther...

Jill: I know that we're all distressed about this situation with katherine.

Cane: Go on and sit down.

Esther: Thank you, cane.

Jill: What? Aren't you gonna go order that hideous stuff that you love so much?

Esther: It's called chai, and it's very, very popular. But at this moment, I am more interested in an update. What is the situation?

Jill: Okay. So, as it turns out, no one can legally contest the will.

Esther: Oh, 'cause it's been too long.

Cane: Exactly.

Jill: Yeah, so, when devon heard that, he just washed his hands of the whole thing. And the lawyer refuses to take another step forward until she consults with her client.

Esther: Chance, you mean?

Jill: Yes, and he's a very hard man to get ahold of these days, so we're at a stalemate.

Cane: Yeah. So, uh, jill and I decided to take things into our own hands and, uh, move forward and find out the truth.

Esther: How?

Cane: I went to vegas to, uh, try and find chance, and I came back with some papers that were supposed to be the original pages from katherine's will.

Jill: And, meanwhile, I hired a certified forensic document examiner, who will be joining us shortly. Her name is amy nelson. And she will compare the pages that cane brought back with the original pages that were read six years ago and tell us which ones are authentic.

Esther: Oh, then my timing is perfect.

Cane: Well, that's if things go as planned and there's no more curve balls. And then we'll find out whether or not devon was meant to inherit the bulk of katherine's estate... or whether it was me.

Esther: I just don't understand how you got those pages from chance.

Jill: Yeah.

Cane: All right...

Jill: No, you were really vague about that. You said he sent the pages, but you never saw him?

Cane: Yeah, well, you see the thing is, I didn't really want to worry you.

Jill: Well, I was already worried 'cause I couldn't get in touch with you. Okay? And saying you're sorry doesn't fill in the gaps here.

Cane: Yeah, I suppose it doesn't, does it?

Jill: Well? We have time on our hands right now. Out with it.

Cane: All right. I got this text from chance, and he said to meet him in this particular place. I get there, and someone came up behind me and knocked me out.

Esther: What?!

Jill: You're kidding!

Cane: And then I woke up in this random room, and on the table was this envelope, and in it were the pages from katherine's will and a note from chance.

Jill: And what did it say?

Cane: It said that he was sorry. Um, he was deep undercover and had to stay off the radar.

Jill: [ Exclaims ] That explains why he's been out of contact lately. But being sorry doesn't fill in any of the gaps here.

Esther: Well, it just seems odd when he could have just mailed the pages to you.

Cane: Exactly.

Jill: Something is very, very fishy.

Cane: I don't disagree with you on that one.

Esther: I'm just glad you weren't seriously hurt.

Cane: I am just excited to meet this expert you've hired and get some answers, and finally move on.

Jill: Well, if the pages you were given turn out to be a hoax, then, yes, it is indeed over. But if they're real, then we have a whole other set of problems on our hands.

Victor: Connor, my boy, I am so glad to see you. I've missed you.

Connor: I missed you, too, grandpa.

Victor: I missed you. Yes.

Chelsea: See, honey? Just like I told you. Victor's doing really well. Nothing to worry about.

Victor: Okay you and I sit down, and let's talk about it, all right? So... [ Sighs ] When you heard that your grandpa had died, that must have been very scary, right? And very confusing. And I'm sorry about that. But as you can see, you know, I'm all right. I was sick, but I'm okay now. All right?

Connor: I was sad you were gone. My dad was, too.

Victor: I know. And I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry about the pain we have caused you. I'll make it up to you somehow, okay?

Connor: First my dad was supposed to be dead, then you.

Victor: I know.

Connor: But it wasn't true.

Victor: I know.

Connor: You're both alive.

Victor: I know. I understand that, and I'm very, very sorry. And your dad and I, you know, we went through quite an ordeal. And -- and as I said, I-I was sick. But now we're both all right. Okay? So, you come here. I'm very happy that we are now with the family that we love. All right? I'm sorry.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Adam: Why can't you people just leave me alone? I am so done with genoa city. Okay? I'm not looking to cause trouble for anybody. I'm just trying to live my life.

Nick: Nobody says you can'T.

Adam: [ Sighs ] That life doesn't include you, brother. Okay? Nobody else named newman. So if you came here warning me not to show my face again, don't worry about it, 'cause it ain't gonna happen. Not in this lifetime.

Nick: I didn't come here to threaten you or put you on notice.

Adam: Yeah, right.

Nick: Just shut up and listen to me. Please. Look, I didn't come all this way to fight with you. I came here because of connor. He is in trouble, and he needs you to come home.

Dina: Oh, this room is so -- so lovely and tasteful. Although I-I -- I do feel as if I've been in this house before?

Traci: Many times.

Dina: Have I?

Traci: You have.

Jack: Yes, yes. Have a seat. Have a seat. Here we go.

Dina: Thank you.

Jack: Can I maybe pour you some hibiscus tea with a splash of milk?

Dina: Hibiscus? Oh, you devil. You've poured me tea before, haven't you?

Jack: Indeed, I have. Yes.

Dina: [ Chuckles ] On this very same china.

Traci: You have a good eye.

Jack: So, why don't you just relax and let us take care of you. And, if you're feeling up to it, we have some things we'd like to show you.

Victor: Let's see what we've got here. Oh, look at this. A soccer ball that hovers in the air. Have you ever seen anything like that?

Connor: One of my friends back home in baton rouge got one last year for christmas.

Victor: Really? And it lights up at night so you can play in the dark. I wish I had that as a kid.

Chelsea: Connor, what do you say?

Connor: Thank you, grandpa.

Victor: Come here. You're very welcome. Okay?

Chelsea: Sweetheart, why don't you go grab yourself a snack in the kitchen?

Victor: Yeah, the chef will make you anything you want.

Connor: I guess I could eat something.

Victor: Okay. Take it along, all right?

Chelsea: Oh, and, hey, we'll stop at the park on the way home. It'll be fun. Before it gets too cold?

Connor: Okay. Whatever.

Victor: I know he has been through a lot. But he doesn't seem like himself, does he?

Chelsea: How could he be? After everything you and adam have put him through?

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Adam: What's wrong with connor?

Nick: What do you think's wrong with him? His father walked out on him.

Adam: Because I couldn't be the father that he needs.

Nick: Well, maybe you were just too busy trying to murder his grandfather.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] That is what you and everybody wanted. I mean, for me to fail miserably and fall apart and banish myself from the garden.

Nick: For once, can you not make something about yourself?

Adam: The last time I saw you, you invited me to dad's funeral. Really twisted the knife. So don't sit there and act like you're on some moral high ground here, especially when you let connor, a sweet, innocent kid, believe that victor was dead.

Nick: What do you expect? You set this whole thing in motion. If dad hadn't caught you, he could very well be dead right now.

Adam: No, I swear that --

Nick: What?

Adam: You know what? It doesn't matter. Because what's done is done. I am sorry that connor is hurting. But if I stayed, I just would have disappointed him more, and that kid deserves so much better than that.

Adam: And that is how you see it, too.

Nick: Your words.

Adam: Come on, nick. Just admit it. I'm sure that you were thrilled when I took off, leaving my sons in your capable hands.

Nick: Oh, yeah. With you gone, I don't have to worry about you hurting this family anymore. But, see, connor's the one who's in real pain, and chelsea thinks you are the only one who can help him.

Adam: Mm. Well, that must have come as a blow to your ego.

Nick: This isn't about me. It's about connor. He is the only thing that matters.

Adam: What about chelsea? You sold her on this white-picket-fence lifestyle, that you're the perfect family man, so if you're not living up as connor's father figure, that doesn't bode well for your relationship.&

Nick: You don't got to worry about me and chelsea. We're rock-solid.

Adam: Mm. You obviously are. Obviously. I mean, since you are the one that volunteered to come talk to me. You figured you'd score some points by being the magnanimous guy who tried to persuade me to come back to genoa city for my son's sake. But you are not-so-secretly hoping that I'll turn you down. How am I doing so far?

Jill: Where the hell is this woman? She should have been here by now.

Cane: What time was the appointment?

Jill: 15 minutes ago. I don't know where she could be.

Esther: Well, where did you say she's coming from?

Jill: Well, I didn'T. But it's -- it's madison.

Cane: Oh, well, there's the problem. I-90's a mess.

Jill: I'm gonna call her and see where she is.

Cane: Okay.

Esther: Oh, boy.

Cane: Mm! Jill! Jill, jill.

Jill: Hmm?

Cane: That could be her.

Jill: Oh!

Amy: Sorry I'm late. Traffic. I'm amy nelson.

Jill: I'm jill abbott. It's a pleasure to meet you. And this is esther valentine.

Esther: How do you do?

Jill: And cane ashby.

Cane: Hey. Nice to meet you. Pleasure.

Jill: Thank you so much for making our case a priority. And for your discretion, too. We are determined to straighten out all this confusion about katherine's will.

Cane: Yeah, I'm just, uh, hoping you're confident in your findings.

Amy: I'm prepared to answer any questions you have definitively.

Chelsea: Connor's suffered so much loss for a child his age. Too much.

Victor: I know he has.

Chelsea: When he thought you died, it broke my heart trying to console him. I mean, I-I let adam tell him you were gone because you and nick didn't trust me enough to just -- to just tell me the truth. And now adam's gone again, and connor's left to suffer.

Victor: Let me ask you something. Do you condone what adam has done to me?

Chelsea: Not at all. It's unconscionable. But what I hate is, my son is left to pay the price for the ongoing insanity between the two of you. I mean, this compulsion you both have to just push each other to the edge.

Victor: I understand, chelsea. I understand. But you have to understand that I couldn't watch my son go down the same dark path. I just -- [ Sighs ] You know, I attempted to save him.

Chelsea: Yeah. [ Sniffles ] And in the end, adam saw the error of his ways. But he bolted town, and now we're all left hanging.

Victor: Yeah, well, but now I-I can see that there's hope. And that is very gratifying to know.

Chelsea: But at what cost, victor? I mean, the cost... to so many people.

Victor: I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am about the pain that I've caused you and connor. I wish it had been otherwise. I just wish he had stayed here. You know, then he and I could have started over. And all the family's wounds could have healed. But I'm certain about the fact that he won't come back now.

Chelsea: Well, a-as you can see, connor is not accepting that. And I fear he never will.

Victor: Oh, boy. [ Sighs ]

[ Sucks teeth ] Tell you what. I'll do whatever I can to help him get over this, all right? And if that means that I have to admit that I was wrong, and I could have done things differently, then you just say it.

Chelsea: I appreciate that offer. But actually I've decided to take a more proactive approach. My goal is to get adam to come back as soon as possible.

Nick: You're wrong. This is not a game. We have a serious issue here.

Adam: Why should i believe you?

Nick: Just -- let me say this, all right -- I don't trust you. Couldn't have been happier if i never saw your face again. But connor loves you. And he misses you every single minute of every day. And I wish like hell I could have been the man to fill the void that you left in his life. But I haven't been able to do that. Do you know how hard it is for me to stand in front of you and tell you there's something you can do that I can't? That I have to beg you to come back to genoa city when it is the last thing that I want personally?

Adam: I'm beginning to get an idea.

Nick: This isn't about me. It's not about you. It's about connor. And hopefully, when you hear what he's been doing, you will understand why I don't have a choice here.

Jill: So, if I'm following you correctly, the portion of the will regarding devon's large inheritance, that was printed on different bond paper than the rest of the version of the original will? Are you certain?

Amy: It's the same color, but a slightly different weight.

Jill: And the type of paper saying that katherine bequeathed cane her entire estate?

Amy: Perfectly matched the rest of the will.

Cane: Listen, just -- just to be clear, here, okay... so, you analyzed the handwriting, and you have determined that they are katherine's initials on the pages?

Amy: Yes, those initials are authentic.

Jill: And the initials on the pages that didn't match are forged?

Esther: Oh, my god. Then it's true!

Jill: Katherine left all that money to you.

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

Dina: Uh, do -- do I know these people?

Jack: These are old family friends who you haven't seen for a long time.

Dina: Oh.

Jack: Here. How about this one?

Dina: [ Chuckles ] That's me in high school.

Jack: Yep.

Traci: Dina, I would like to read something for you, um, if it's okay, from about that same time. This is a letter that you wrote, uh, just after graduation.

Dina: Oh, very well.

Jack: Uh, this is a letter that you wrote to stuart brooks.

Traci: "Dear stuart, summer vacation at the lake is precisely what I needed after graduation. Senior year was, at turns, exhausting, gratifying, and thoroughly exciting. I miss the old gang. I wonder if you've run into anyone? I hope they're all well. Profuse apologies for not being in touch sooner since graduation. I'm not much of a letter writer, so if you don't hear much from me in the months ahead while i settle into college, well, I hope you'll forgive, that, too." And then the letter ends with, "just a reminder for you of what we learned reading shakespeare in mr. Landis' class -- 'I must be cruel only to be kind. Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.'"

Dina: [ Whimpering ] Oh, that was a -- a wonderful and terrible night. Just terrible.

Victor: Everyone wanted to see adam gone. And I honestly felt that you thought the same.

Chelsea: Well, I-I mean, early on, I was concerned that his presence would make life a lot harder for me.

Victor: Right.

Chelsea: I was worried that he'd try to sue for full custody of connor, or turn connor against me.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: But he didn't do that.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: He tried to convince me that he just wanted to gain my trust and focus on being a good parent. And, victor, he kept his word. He was a really good dad to connor.

Victor: Well, you know, I'm -- I'm very glad to hear that. And he showed the boy a side of himself that he never allowed anyone else to see.

Chelsea: Yeah. But then he was so broken when he left, he was convinced that connor would be better off without him.

Victor: Well. Connor wouldn't understand any of that. He was a child.

Chelsea: No, he doesn't understand any of this. He's confused as to why his father would abandon him after being separated from him for so long. Oh, and now the new thing is, connor says that adam doesn't even love him anymore.

Victor: Mm. Do me a favor. Repeat to the boy over and over again that his father does love him, all right?

Chelsea: I'm trying, victor. I'm trying. Believe me. My son is in agony. He won't listen to me.

Victor: [ Sighs ] It makes me feel very mad.

Chelsea: He's so full of rage. So the only thing that's going to heal his wounds is if his father comes back into his life.

Victor: I understand.

Chelsea: Do you?

Victor: There you are! Did you enjoy the snack?

Connor: Yes, grandpa.

Victor: You did?

Chelsea: What do you say?

Connor: Thank you.

Victor: You're very welcome, my boy.

Connor: Can we go to the park now?

Chelsea: We sure can.

Victor: Okay. Connor, come here. Now, I enjoyed you coming over. And when you have that unwrapped, I want you and I to go in the park, and we'll play with it one day, okay? Should we do that?

Connor: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Okay. You hang in there, all right?

Connor: Yeah.

Victor: And you, too.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Nick: The broken lamp, it could have been an accident. Connor was upset. He stormed out of the room. He could have hit the table, and the lamp fell. But he also could have broke it on purpose, since nobody caught him in the act.

Adam: It's a lamp. Big deal. Little kids, they break things sometimes.

Nick: He's also having trouble at school. On the mornings that chelsea can actually get him there, it is a real battle to even get him started for the day. And when he's there, he's talking back to the teachers, he's misbehaving. He actually hit a kid the other day, completely unprovoked.

Adam: Wait a minute. Are you saying connor was the aggressor?

Nick: The other night, you know, we're at home. We're, uh -- we're having dinner. It was fun. We were playing games. We thought we had a real breakthrough with him. Then he locked christian in the dark garage.

Adam: What?

Nick: Little guy was in there for over an hour, scared out of his mind, crying. Chelsea and I couldn't find him. Connor saw how upset we were about it, and he still lied straight to our faces, and said he didn't know where he was.

Adam: That doesn't sound like connor.

Nick: It's not him. It's you. Chelsea said the thing she is most afraid of is her little boy turning into his father.

Adam: Well, that is the last thing that I want. That is why I walked away from connor, because he deserves a much better role model.

Nick: You can't expect a little kid to understand that. All he knows is, he opened his heart to his father, who he thought he lost. And then he left again. And now he's hurt, and he's angry and confused, and it is your fault.

Adam: It's all the more reason that I should stay away from him. My mistake is, I came back into his life in the first place. He would have been better off if he never found out I was alive.

Nick: Well, you're not gonna get any argument from me. But the damage is done. And as his father, it's your responsibility to fix it.

Adam: What makes you sure that he would even want to see me, nick, after what I did?

Nick: Because you are all he talks about. All those texts and messages from chelsea's phone, they're from him. And every time you ignored them and didn't reply, he felt even more rejected.&

Adam: I didn't realize that.

Nick: Yeah, of course you didn'T. Chelsea is beside herself. She's just waiting for the next crisis to fall. Am I getting through to you yet?

Adam: Look, I'm upset to hear about this. Obviously. But I'm not going back to genoa city with you, nick. In the storied tradition of his great-great-grandmother,

Cane: Look, even though we discussed this as a possibility --

Jill: It's a reality.

Cane: ...I don't understand. Why would katherine give me billions of dollars? I mean, I'm not even family.

Esther: Because she loved you.

Cane: I know, esther. Thank you. But she loved a lot of people,& all right? She loved you. She loved jill. She loved nikki and chance and phillip, all right? Look, I'm not family. I'm not blood.

Jill: Well, I can't speak for katherine, but I'll tell you she considered you family.

Cane: [ Sighs ]

Jill: No. She saw something so special in you. She believed in you.

Cane: I just can't fathom it.

Esther: Devon's still named in the will.

Cane: I know that, esther, but 1/6 of 25% is a far cry from half, okay? And I just don't mean financially. I mean emotionally.

Jill: Even that fraction is worth tens of millions of dollars apiece.

Jill: God! If tucker was gonna forge the will, he could at least have given you devon's share.

Cane: Jill, don'T. It's not worth it.

Esther: I know it's a lot to process.

Cane: I'm just -- I'm just worried about devon. You know, because -- and I don't mean the money. I mean, the inheritance was really personal to him.

Jill: I know. It was his grandmother's gift to him.

Cane: Yeah.

Jill: It was a sign that she believed he would do good things with it, that he would do right by her legacy. Now to have that belief shaken... and, oh, my god. If tucker really is the perpetrator of this fraud, imagine how that must feel to him.

Esther: A double whammy.

Jill: Wow. To learn that his father took what was rightfully yours and gave it to his own son? Can you imagine what that's gonna do to him?

Cane: [ Sighs ]

Jill: What a betrayal. Honestly, I could punch him right in the jaw.

Esther: Yeah. Need some help?

Cane: Yeah, I know how you feel.

Jill: If anyone has reason to be furious with tucker mccall, it's you.

Cane: Well, I mean, it's not gonna change anything, is it? I mean, we don't know where tucker is. He's gone into hiding, and we don't know when he's gonna resurface.

Esther: You know, cane's right.

[ Sighs ] I mean, we -- we could send somebody after him. We could hire a private investigator.

Cane: It's not gonna change anything.

Jill: Honey, what he's done has hurt you worst of all.

Cane: [ Laughs ] That is debatable. I mean, as much as I can't help think how much different my life would be if I had $2.5 billion in my bank account for the last six years, we can't go back. All we can do is move forward.

Esther: You are right. I think you both know what you need to do next.

Traci: The letter doesn't say anything about a night. What night was that? Do you remember?

Dina: I don't know.

Jack: Mother, were -- were you and stuart very close?

Traci: You know what, it doesn't matter.&

Jack: She's right. We don't need to talk about this anymore.

Traci: Would you like some more tea? I can make a fresh pot.

Dina: I want to go home.

Jack: Are you sure --

Dina: Now.

Jack: Okay. Okay. I'll get your coat, and I'll take you home.

Traci: He'll be right back with your coat, okay? Okay. It's all right. It's all right.

Nick: Connor is a mess. He needs you.

Adam: [ Sighs ] He is going through a rough time. But he'll survive. Kids are resilient, and I'm sure chelsea will get him whatever help he needs.

Nick: So that's it? "He's gonna be fine"? Like magic? You think that's how this works?

Adam: Look, you assume that I'm being callous, but it is actually just the opposite. I failed connor as a father. And if I was to do that again, he would be in worse shape than he is now.

Nick: I'm not gonna lie to you -- I'm worried about that, too. But chelsea is convinced that, if you stay away, his anger and resentment is just gonna continue to grow, and then history will repeat itself.

Adam: And what does that mean, exactly?

Nick: Look at you, adam. Look at how scarred you were when hope died, and you found out that your dad bowed out of raising you. He stayed away because your mother asked him to. And then she replaced him with another man. But then, when that other man died, dad didn't do anything. He had no involvement in your upbringing, and that scarred you for life. It had a profound effect --

Adam: Okay, okay. That is enough! I heard you out. And I am doing what I think is best for connor. And now it is time for you to get the hell out of here. Right now.

Esther: Okay, so, the statute of limitations have expired. So there's no legal way to make sure that the terms of mrs. C's authentic will are honored. But -- but that doesn't mean that this has to end. I don't want to see devon hurt, but this is bigger than him.

Cane: All right, listen. I feel for devon. I do. But the problem is, is that katherine was a force of nature, okay, and to brush aside her final wishes because of some arbitrary deadline... it's not what she would have wanted. She would want her voice to be heard.

Jill: Yes. Katherine deserves at least that much.

Cane: Right.

Jill: And devon deserves to know the truth.

Cane: Right.

Jill: And once his initial shock has passed, we're gonna find out how he feels about respecting his grandmother's wishes.

Jack: Mother was still very quiet when the nurse got her settled into bed.

Traci: Was she agitated?

Jack: To tell you the truth, by the time I left, I wasn't sure she remembered our visit at all.

Traci: And now you're kicking yourself because you brought up stuart brooks. Jack, I really wish you wouldn't do that.

Jack: It was all going so well. I had to push it too far.

Traci: [ Sighs ] Come on. Listen to me. Nobody can predict how mother's gonna react, even when she's having a good day. We don't know how long she'll stay with us or how soon she'll shut down.

[ Huffs ] At least she didn't get upset, right? We need to be grateful for the lovely time we spent with mother today.

Jack: There you go again.

Traci: What?

Jack: Saying all the right things to make me feel better. It's your superpower.

Traci: [ Scoffs, chuckles ] I don't know about that.

Jack: I do. And thank you.

Traci: Any time.

Jack: I see you opened up the boxes again. The abbott family memorabilia.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Right. While you were taking mother back to the facility, I decided to take another look. And I found something that I think you're going to find interesting.

Jack: Oh? "An invitation to the senior-prom after party... at the abbott house." In dad's home. Th-- june 3rd. This would have been the year of mother's senior year in high school.

Traci: Exactly. Turn it over. There's a handwritten note. "D, come tonight. Please. I promise I'll change your mind. S." "D" is dina. "S" is stuart. Could this be the wonderful, terrible night mother was referring to?

Traci: Well, if it is, whatever went on between mother and stuart brooks happened right here, at a party in this house.

Nick: Adam, you are gonna regret this, guaranteed, if you forsake connor.

Adam: Go home, nick. Just go home. Tell chelsea you did what she asked. You're off the hook. Go back to your cozy little existence, raising my sons with the love of my life.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nick: Hey. What's up?

Chelsea: Oh, thank god you answered. We're at memorial.

Nick: What are you doing at the hospital?

Chelsea: It's connor. We were at the park, and he climbed to the top of the jungle gym, announced he was invincible, and then he jumped.

Nick: Oh, my god. Wh--

Chelsea: It all happened so fast, nick, and he -- he hit the ground so hard.

[ Sobs ] And it was horrible. It was terrifying. He was just screaming in pain.

Nick: How bad is it?

Chelsea: He broke his arm.

Nick: Okay. Broken arm. That's, uh -- that's rough, but we should be thankful it's not anything more serious.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah. The doctor is putting his arm in a cast right now. He said that connor said he was thirsty, so I snuck out, but I have to get back in there.

Nick: You have any idea why he did that?

Chelsea: I don't know. Maybe... [ Sighs ] I mean, we had just come from seeing victor. Maybe he thinks his father and his grandfather are invincible, so he is, too. They can survive anything, so he can, too. Maybe that's what he thinks. Whatever's going through his mind, he is still lashing out. First christian, what happened, and -- and now this. I mean, I'm terrified to think i don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow.

Nick: Yeah. Uh... okay. Uh... I'll be home fast as I can.

Chelsea: Okay. Thank you. Um, what about adam?

Nick: Well, I'm with him right now. I'll call you soon and let you know what happens. Bye.

Adam: What happened? What happened? What's going on with my son? How did he break his arm?

Nick: Well, he was at the park, and he threw himself off the jungle gym, claiming he was invincible. You still think you don't need to come home?
