After Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Cole (J. Eddie Peck) had sex in his suite at the Athletic Club, they reflected on their past, noting that things might be even better now that they’re older. Cole told Victoria he planned to resign from Oxford and stay in Genoa City permanently.
Meanwhile, Claire (Hayley Erin) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) tried to distract themselves from his parental issues in the GCAC dining room by bonding over fries and hot sauce.

Cole and Victoria joined Claire and Kyle at their table, leading to an awkward moment. The conversation shifted to Harrison (Redding Munsell). Victoria and Cole were curious about Claire and Kyle’s relationship. When the subject of England came up, Cole suggested a family trip, and Claire half-jokingly invited Kyle to join as a tour guide. After Kyle left to see his son, Victoria and Cole teased her about inviting him, but Claire insisted it was just dinner. Turning the tables, she asked if her parents were officially a couple, and they let her know they were taking things day by day.

At Society, Nick, Mariah, and Faith discussed Sharon’s unusual behavior. Faith explained that Sharon returned home late at night, packed a bag, and left without waking her. Sharon had texted to say she was attending a meeting in Madison, but Mariah doubted the story. Faith feared she had caused her mom’s departure by downplaying her concerns. They all felt worried about Sharon’s sudden departure, especially after Nick mentioned Sharon had insisted on driving herself home.
Meanwhile, Sharon was in a motel room with Cameron. He mocked her flimsy cover story, questioning how long it would last before her family learned the truth. Cameron reminded her that her actions were her own and that he was merely observing. Sharon was defensive. At one point, Mariah called, but Sharon sent the call to voicemail, further frustrating Cameron, who accused her of setting herself up to be caught.
At Crimson Lights, Lily, Devon, and Nate (Sean Dominic) discussed Billy’s latest moves at Abbott-Chancellor. Lily felt confident her plan would succeed. Billy, however, believed that Lily was conspiring with Victor to sabotage a deal and reclaim Chancellor. He and Phyllis debated the likelihood of this and strategized on how to respond.
Billy called Lily, and they had a tense phone call. Billy warned Lily she was making a mistake, but she dismissed his concerns. Billy went to Crimson Lights to talk to Lily, and Phyllis defended Billy against Lily’s accusations. After Billy and Phyllis left, Devon and Nate warned Lily that teaming up with Victor could backfire.

He acknowledged that Connor sensed something between them and confessed he had considered their future as a couple even though he’d denied it before. Chelsea was taken aback because she hadn’t considered getting back together. Adam told her that the night they spent together in Baltimore was significant for him.
Meanwhile, at the bar, Phyllis pushed Billy to open up about his feelings. He revealed that Chelsea and Adam had slept together. Phyllis suggested it might have been two parents bonding over their son’s well-being and urged Billy to consider forgiveness. Chelsea stormed out after Adam suggested they reunite, and Billy confronted Adam, demanding to know what he had done.
Nick visited his parents. He told them he was worried about Sharon, who had been lashing out and avoiding her family since Faith’s accident. Victor advised Nick to intervene with Sharon’s doctor, but Nick wasn’t sure he should. Despite his reluctance, he decided to speak to Faith, Mariah, and the doctor.
At a motel, Sharon avoided a meeting with Mariah, claiming she wasn’t feeling well.
