Nina: Hi, devon.
Devon: Hey.
Nina: Come on in.
Devon: Thank you.
Nina: I’m so glad that you’re here.
Devon: Of course. I just wanted to check on you guys. Were you able to get any sleep at all?
Nina: Yeah, off and on.
Devon: Yeah.
Nina: You know, it’s been real quiet, so that was nice. Abby’s still in her room. I think she finally got some rest.
Devon: Good.
Nina: And ashley and victor stayed over, so…
Devon: Oh, nice, nice. Is there any news about chance?
Nina: Cricket is on the phone with a contact from the state department.
Christine: I understand, and I appreciate it. I — yeah, just keep me informed, will you? I’ll be at this number all day. Okay. Thanks. Hi, devon.
Devon: Hey. Morning, christine.
Nina: So, any news about my son?
[ Footsteps approaching ]
Abby: Hello, everyone! Ooh, good. Someone made coffee.
Devon: How you doing, abby?
Abby: Mmm! I am gonna grab a cup of this. Mm-mm-mmm. And I have a few things to get done. First I need to book the newman jet, and if that’s already spoken for, I’ll fly commercial.
Nina: Whoa, wait a minute. What are you talking about? Fly where?
Abby: Well, I intend to figure out what happened to my husband, why he hasn’t contacted me. Is [Chuckles] That a problem?
Christine: Abby, I don’t mean to be blunt, but that is the worst thing you could do.
Abby: Well, the state department hasn’t contacted me telling me that they found him or his body, unless there’s some information that you haven’t told me yet.
Christine: The spanish authorities are still working through the rubble, along with our people from the state department. I know there’s no official word on chance, but that doesn’t mean you go off —
Abby: It means that maybe chance wasn’t in that building when the bomb went off. Maybe he’s hurt. Maybe he’s hiding. Look, now that I know where that safe house is, I’m gonna fly to spain, and I’m gonna piece together what became of my husband.
Christine: [ Sighs ]
Nikki: So, when do you and ashland leave for peru?
Victoria: We’re shooting for this afternoon. The pilot’s on standby, but it just feels like there’s so much going on all at once.
Nikki: [ Sighs ] Your father’s still at your sister’S. He spent the night there.
Victoria: I’m still in shock over the news, mom. My heart just goes out for poor abby.
Nikki: It’s terrible. Victor is so concerned.
Victoria: You know, I spoke with her on the phone first thing this morning, and I’m gonna stop by there. I’m gonna see how she’s doing before we leave for the airport.
Nikki: I know she’ll appreciate that. But you must be overwhelmed, too. How is ashland doing?
Victoria: He’s very determined to get into this experimental treatment program, although we’ve only gotten as far as the initial evaluation, but it’s just — [ Sighs ] There’s so much riding on this.
Nikki: I know.
Victoria: But for now, we are going to remain positive.
Nikki: Well, your father and I are praying that they’ll accept ashland into the program and it’s the answer that you’ve been looking for. But, darling, is there anything else on your mind?
Victoria: You know, dad and adam are going after billy and chanccomm. I don’t know any of the details, and I really don’t want to.
Nikki: I thought you were on board, in theory.
Victoria: I was. It’s just that I didn’t know that it would cause so much stress for ashland.
Nikki: I didn’t realize he was involved.
Victoria: Well, he’s insisted on being kept in the loop. And now he’s angry at billy all over again for dragging gaines to tuscany to try to ruin our wedding. With everything that we’re facing right now, this is just beyond counterproductive.
Nikki: [ Sighs ] I am so sorry to hear this.
Victoria: It’s just the last place that he should be putting his energy right now.
Nikki: [ Sighs ] It’s a terrible situation for you — your father versus the father of your children. I know you would never say this…
Victoria: But?
Nikki: Billy’s done it to himself.
Lily: I didn’t know it was casual day.
Billy: I won’t be going into the office until later. I’m gonna go to the motel and check on our guest.
Lily: You mean your guest, not ours. I want nothing to do with gaines.
Billy: Lily…
Lily: No, if you think I’ve changed my mind about your little plan, then you can think again.
Billy: Can we talk about this, please? I think it’s important that we’re on the same page.
Lily: There’s nothing to talk about. If you’re gonna move forward with blackmailing newman media, then I want no part of that.

Mariah: Thank you for being my running buddy.
Noah: Felt good to get out.
Mariah: Yeah, I’ve kind of missed running.
Noah: Why haven’t you been working out lately?
Mariah: Um… well, this is where… this is where stitch grabbed me. Then he locked me in that room for weeks and weeks.
Noah: I’m — I’m sorry. I didn’t realize.
Mariah: It’s — it’s fine. That’s why I’ve been a little wary going out on my own lately.
Noah: Yeah, I totally get it. And I’ll gladly be your running buddy.
Mariah: For how long? A week? A month? Indefinitely?
Noah: Oh, did mom put you up to asking me this?
Mariah: Well, we’re a little bit curious as to why you came home from london. I mean, we’re thrilled to have you back. Don’t get me wrong. It just wasn’t expected.
Noah: [ Sighs ]
Mariah: Oh. I know that look. I’ve had that look on my face a lot lately.
Noah: Yeah? What look is that?
Mariah: The one where you don’t want to lie, but you also don’t want to bare your soul about what’s going on.
Noah: [ Sighs ]
Christine: Abby, I have been in constant touch with my contacts at the state department. In fact, I just got off the phone with one of them.
Abby: And what were you told?
Christine: They are committed to getting answers.
Abby: In this lifetime?
Christine: The agents who are working on this are so familiar with that area of spain, as well as the criminal organization behind the bombing. I mean, they are a large group of experienced operatives from both the local jurisdiction and the U.S. They will get to the bottom of what happened to chance and everyone else in this mission.
Abby: Eventually. But what if chance is out there? What if he’s hurt? What if he’s out there hiding? I mean, I can’t just leave him to fend for himself when he needs me the most.
Christine: This group of agents are so good. They’re gonna take care of it.
Abby: They don’t share the same connection with chance that I do, the kind where you just know things about the other person.
Nina: Like if they’re dead or alive.
Abby: Exactly! And it’s that connection that will not allow me to believe that chance is gone, the way that you all do.
Devon: Okay. Hey. Abby, what has changed since yesterday?
Abby: [ Sighs ] Look, I woke up this morning, and I — I realized that I am just going along with someone else’s version of what went down. It’s like I’m giving up on chance. Years ago, we mistakenly thought that chance was dead. Nina and I even went to his funeral. But it turns out that he was faking his death for an investigation.
Nina: The media has confirmed the explosion and that there were casualties.
Abby: I have to follow my instincts. Every fiber of my being is telling me that chance is still alive.
Victoria: Thank you.
Lily: Why are you letting this escalate into a war?
Victoria: What are you talking about?
Lily: Well, your father told billy to his face that he’s coming after chanccomm, which means billy, and you’re just gonna let that happen?
I’m jimmy dean and uh,
Victoria: I am focused on my husband’s health right now. I’m also overseeing a major merger of two corporations, so i have my hands full with more important things. I’m not involved in this little plan of theirs.
Lily: Right, and I should just take your word for it.
Victoria: Since when does billy have you fighting his battles for him?
Lily: Well, they’re coming at him through chanccomm, so that makes it my battle, as well.
Victoria: Well, I don’t know what you expect me to do about it. I’m not involved, as I said.
Lily: Look, clearly your dad wants to hurt billy, and he has his own thoughts on how to handle things, whereas I would prefer a more direct, above-board approach.
Victoria: What does billy have planned?
Lily: Look, I was hoping that you would be able to use your influence to stop things before they get ugly.
Victoria: You know what it sounds like? It sounds like you’re upset about more than someone potentially making a run at chanccomm. It sounds like billy’s being billy and that has created a little conflict between the two of you.
Lily: Well, I thought since you and ashland have a business connection, you would know the difference between a conflict between lovers and an opposing point of view between business partners.
Victoria: If this is so important to you, why would you come to me? Why don’t you just go to the source?
Lily: You know what? You’re actually right. I’m wasting my time with you.
Noah: Yeah, you nailed it.
Mariah: I figured.
Noah: Some stuff happened in england that I haven’t really wanted to talk about. I know the family’s been speculating, though.
Mariah: Oh, yeah. We’ve been making bets. I think that you are banksy, the mysterious artist, so… but seriously, I mean, if you need to talk to somebody…
Noah: You know, it’s really not that interesting. Between the two of us, it’s — it’s a love thing. I’ll get over it. Now, if you want to tell me what you can’t say to other people, you can.
Mariah: Well, um, I’m kind of also going through a love thing, but with dominic. You know, every time I’m away from the baby, it feels like it’s been years.
Noah: I’m sorry.
Mariah: It’s okay. It’s better than it was, but it’s still not easy.
Noah: I can only imagine how tough this is for you. How about we run it off? I mean, it probably won’t work, but we could pretend like it will.
Mariah: Yeah. That sounds like a great idea. I’ll race you.
[ Both laugh ]
Devon: Abby, it’s not giving up on chance to acknowledge that he was a part of a dangerous operation where things went wrong.
Abby: Things did. But my heart is telling me that chance survived, that he is still with us.
Christine: [ Sighs ] I just don’t think you understand what you would be walking into.
Abby: Well, what I do know is that the official view is that chance died in that explosion. So, how hard to you really think the state department is looking for him? Let me tell you — not hard at all.
Christine: No, abby, that’s not the —
Abby: And I also know that if I go there, if I go talk to those people, they’d be much more willing to talk to me, a concerned wife, than an agent from the U.S. Government. I could be able to get answers that these federal agents can’T.
Christine: What you are suggesting is so incredibly dangerous. You would be putting your life at risk, possibly your family.
Abby: Christine, I need to go there. I need to see where it happened.
[ Sighs ] If there’s even the slightest chance that my husband could be out there, that he wasn’t in that building, I need to pursue that. I am doing this. Can you please tell me where my father is? He needs to talk to victoria so I can arrange to get on the newman jet.
Nina: Your mom and dad went for food for when you wake up. They’ll be back soon.
Abby: Fine. Will you please let me know when they return? I’m gonna go pack.
Devon: So, what the hell are we gonna do to stop her from going?
Nina: Maybe we shouldn’T.
Nina: What abby’s decided to do — I don’t know. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea, going to the place where this happened, seeing for herself. I’d even be willing to go with her.
Christine: [ Sighs ] Nina, it would be so traumatic for you.
Nina: But maybe it’s what abby needs just to come to terms. I mean, maybe it’s what we both need.
Devon: Nina, I think that that might be true for you, but not abby right now, not — not considering the 180 she just made overnight. I don’t think she’s in a very strong emotional place. You know? I think that if you went, you would be going to find closure and make peace with what’s happened.
Christine: Whereas abby is reacting impulsively. She’s made up her mind to do this horrendously risky thing with almost no discussion.
Devon: Exactly, and what worries me more than anything is that she’s ready to fly off to someplace she’s never been before and ignore everything we’re saying about how dangerous it is, and she never mentioned dominic’s name, not one time. He’s not even factoring into her thinking right now because she’s so fixated on this idea that chance is alive and she’s the only person that can find him.
Christine: Who knows how she’d react when she’s standing in front of the ruins of that safe house? It is an active crime scene.
Devon: Yeah, no, and we don’t need to find out how she’s gonna react. As abby’s friend who loves her and who cares about her, I’m not signing off on this. I can’T. And I beg of you — do not go along with this, too.
Christine: The last thing we need to do is encourage this. Abby would be putting herself and her family in grave jeopardy, including her infant son.
Billy: There’s some fresh clothes, some toiletries, some food and some plates and a kettle. Make yourself some coffee or tea.
Gaines: Well, look at you. You thought of everything.
Billy: Trying to make sure you keep a low profile. I don’t think you want victor or anyone working for him seeing you out and about.
Gaines: Right. Got it.
Billy: Now, I am still looking into your story about how you escaped from tuscany. You still claiming that that’s all true?
Gaines: Listen, I took one hell of a risk coming back here. I could have just as easily disappeared again.
Billy: But you didn’T. So, why?
Gaines: Because I got a goal in mind — taking down the almighty ashland locke and hitting back at the people that are trying to keep his past buried and shut me up — his new family.
Billy: Well, in order for that to happen, I’m gonna need the letter from camilla rhodes.
Gaines: Mm.
Billy: The original one explaining that she’s leaving nothing to ashland in her will.
Gaines: Don’t worry. It’s in a safe place.
Billy: It’s not in my hands. And it needs to be.
Gaines: Ohh, easy, easy, easy, not so fast. I need to know your plan first. I need to know how you are gonna use it to maximum benefit. Are you gonna write another one of your sensational exposés, tell the world how despicable he really is?
Billy: When the time is right. It’s in the process of being written right now.
Gaines: The hell kind of answer is that?
Billy: It’s an honest one.
Gaines: Let’s get something straight. I am not gonna settle for any vague reassurances. You are not gonna placate me that easily. Do you understand? And I am not taking a single step forward unless I am absolutely certain that I can trust you.
Billy: That’s funny. I feel the exact same way about you.
Adam: A design competition? Well, that’s an interesting promotional idea. Uh, tell me more.
Chloe: Well, we would publicize it in a fashion design program all over north america. Or worldwide. Depends on budget.
Sally: Although anyone 18 or older is free to enter.
Chloe: And then we’ll publish the winners of each level of the competition on newman media website.
Sally: Yeah, and there will be different categories for you to enter your designs. We have sportswear, cruise wear, men’s wear, bridal.
Adam: What kind of prizes are we talking?
Chloe: Well, I was thinking for the grand prize of each division, an all-expenses-paid trip to new york fashion week.
Sally: Including an interview at a top fashion house. It’ll really pull the students in.
Chloe: I mean, listen, we need to do our research, but i think that, with all of our contacts, I think we could really make it happen. So, if we could just —
Lily: Hello. I’m sorry to barge in, ladies. I need five minutes of your time.
Adam: [ Clears throat ] Um, we can pick this up later.
Lily: So, adam…
Adam: Mm-hmm?
Lily: …Tell me. What do you want? What will it take for you to leave us alone?
Adam: Will you at least give me a hint about what you’re accusing me of?
Lily: Don’t pretend that you don’t know what I’m talking about. I’m not here to play games.
Adam: What’s on your mind, lily?
Lily: Well, victor made it very clear the two of you are coming after billy and chanccomm, so I’m here to ask — what do you want? Let’s make an arrangement. I am here to negotiate a cease-fire.
Adam: Say what you mean, mean what you say. I admire that. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to negotiate.
Lily: Everything in business is negotiable.
Adam: Look, you have been straightforward, so I will be straightforward with you, as well. Newman media has a plan, and we will move forward with it. For obvious reasons, I won’t get into the particulars with you, but —
Lily: You know there’s room for all of us, right? I mean, newman media is doing great. Chanccomm poses no threat to you. This is purely about victor’s hatred for billy. So, why are you going along with this? I mean, if anyone owes billy peace, especially on account of delia, it’s you. So, what are you doing? I mean, are you — are you trying to appease your father? And, you know, what’s funny is that billy never believed your whole thing about becoming a better person, but I really wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt. I have seen women in prison turn their lives around. I know it can be done. So, was I wrong about you? Or are you just beyond redemption? Nope
“The young and the restless”
will continue.
Sally: Alright, we are gonnabut classy. Unique. Please, god, no cotton tote bags.
Sally: [ Laughs ] Okay. Um, wine opener. Coffee mug. Sewing kit.
Chloe: Yeah.
Sally: We could do a mini dressmaker form. And a pincushion, a thimble.
Chloe: Oh, I love the dress form idea. You know, those little doll-sized ones with the little movable arms.
Sally: It’s more like a mannequin, but…
Chloe: Right. Whatever. Both of them. You know, just stuff with our logos on them, tchotchkes.
Sally: Oh! Oh! We could do, like, retro lunch boxes that can also double as, like, mini —
Chloe: Sewing kits?
Sally: Yes! And they could be the consolation prize for our design competition.
Chloe: Nice, nice.
Sally: Oh, my god. I missed this so much.
Chloe: Brainstorming?
Sally: I just feel like we’re in mind-meld.
Chloe: We do really work well together.
Sally: I’d really hoped that coming to newman media would be a good move, but, like, this is far beyond anything I ever dreamed.
Chloe: Aww, I’ve enjoyed it, too.
Sally: We only have one cloud on the horizon — chanccomm.
Chloe: [ Sighs ]
Sally: You saw how upset lily was when she marched into adam’s office, and I have witnessed some tension between adam and lily’s partner, billy. Something is up.
Chloe: I know. I sensed it, too. I’m just trying not to worry about it.
Sally: Yeah, but don’t you think we should? It could wind up affecting our division.
Chloe: I just wish we could take our generous funding and spin off from newman media, become our own entity, stay away from the drama.
Sally: Yeah. I mean, I don’t really know if that’s the answer ’cause proximity to leadership’s kind of our strength. Adam doesn’t just fund everything. He also gives us access and exposure.
Chloe: Friendly reminder — this banter-flirtation thing you have going on with adam — it won’t fly once chelsea joins the team.
Adam: You’re not wrong. Redemption is a goal of mine. And I think have been successful at turning my life around. But at the end of the day, I am still a businessman, and no competition is better than some. As far as me owing billy some sort of debt, I can’t change the mistakes that I’ve made. And, unfortunately, no matter what I do, billy will never be satisfied. I mean, the minute jill put you two in charge, he’s just used chanccomm to attack me in the most brutal, personal ways possible. Not that he gave you much of a choice in that matter.
Lily: Mm. Are you finished?
Adam: Not quite. I’d, um — I’d actually like to make you an offer.
Lily: Oh. So, you are willing to negotiate?
Adam: No. I’m talking about a job offer.
Lily: [ Laughs ] You’re — you’re kidding, right?
Adam: [ Laughs ] When my father and I — we successfully crush chanccomm and we scoop up the remains, you are more than welcome to come along. I mean, we’ve always thought that you were the reason it succeeded. We have great admiration for you. Billy, on the other hand, only seems interested in using the company as his personal battering ram, going after whomever he dislikes on any given day.
Lily: [ Chuckles ] You know, that’s very ironic, given that’s exactly what you and victor have planned. But, honestly, none of this matters. You will never take chanccomm away from us.
Adam: [ Chuckles ] You really do have quite the poker face. Billy is rubbing off on you. But, uh, given his history of self-destructing, now might be a good time to consider a career move. It’s a bona fide offer. I really hope that you will seriously consider it, given how this is all gonna turn out.
Nikki: About this plan of yours…
Gaines: I put myself in enemy territory coming back to genoa city, surrounded by people that would just as soon kill me as say hello. Now, I did it because I wanted to see ashland get his. I came to you because I thought that our interests dovetailed and I thought that you would protect me and not throw me to the wolves. But if I have misread you in any way, I will be out of here so fast, it’ll make your head spin. So don’t blow this. Either we work together on this or not at all.
Billy: That’s a good point, given that neither one of us trusts the other. So, we take this one step at time. Either one of us can bail at any point.
Gaines: Alright. Sounds like a healthy way to move forward.
Billy: I’m glad we agree. Now, where is the letter? When you hear the word healthy,
Adam: What, um — what’s your question, nikki?
Nikki: I had a very troubling conversation with victoria earlier.
Adam: [ Sighs ] Don’t tell me that billy has gotten to her and now she’s having second thoughts about going after chanccomm?
Nikki: Not at all. She has no interest in protecting him. She doesn’t want to have anything to do with this.
Adam: Okay, well, then what is so upsetting?
Nikki: In case you haven’t heard, she and ashland are getting ready to fly to peru. His chemotherapy isn’t working, and they are hoping to get him into an experimental treatment protocol.
Adam: Yeah. Ashland filled me in.
Nikki: Ah. Well, so you are aware that they are facing an uncertain future. But instead of focusing on his health, your plan has ashland riled up. He’s upset with billy all over again. It’s wasting a lot of time and energy, and it’s creating a lot of negativity at the worst possible time.
Adam: Ashland wanted to be involved. It was his choice. He was pushing for this. So I had no idea that it was problem.
Nikki: Well, it is. That’s why I’m here. Because in your zeal for revenge, I don’t think you have taken everything into account, you or victor. And victor is very busy concentrating on abby, as well he should be.
Adam: [ Scoffs ] Uh, well, I appreciate you letting me know.
Nikki: You know, I came away from our talk yesterday believing that you had good intentions, that your desire to be the man you were always meant to be was sincere.
Adam: What exactly are you asking me to do?
Nikki: Well, I can’t be any more specific because I have no idea what you and victor have in mind. I don’t want to know.
Adam: Well, that seems to be the consensus.
Nikki: He has assured me that it won’t have any negative impact on our grandchildren, but I find that hard to believe considering your target is katie and johnny’s father.
Adam: This really is just business, nikki.
Nikki: Oh, please. Don’t insult my intelligence. It’s a lot more than that for your father and for you. So I am asking you to please forego the temporary satisfaction in leveling this man that you seem to detest so much and think about what you’re doing. Please think about the long-term damage it could do to other people caught in the cross-fire.
Billy: Hey.
Lily: Well, so much for taking the high road.
Billy: What do you mean by that?
Lily: Well, I ran into victoria, and she completely stonewalled me, so I went to go see adam. And he was as smug and self-congratulatory as ever.
Billy: Ah, yes, the new and improved adam. It’s all a facade to win hearts and minds.
Lily: I mean, there’s no talking to him. There’s — there’s no reasoning.
Billy: I’m surprised you even tried, lily.
Lily: I had to try. I had to so that I could say i did everything I could and I had no other choice.
Billy: No other choice but to what?
Lily: To do whatever it takes.
Billy: Oh, hell, yeah.
Lily: Yeah, we’re not letting them get away with this.
Billy: I am very happy to hear you say that. And I got something else that i think will make you happy — the original letter from camilla rhodes stating that ashland gets nothing from her will.
Lily: Gaines gave this to you?
Billy: Yes, he did. Now, right there is our ace in the hole.
Christine: Nina, this trip is not an option. Undercover operatives were lost. It is a tumultuous situation, and abby wants to go running around asking about an american who was working undercover?
Devon: It’s just not smart.
Christine: This danger is real. It’s not gonna happen. And I’m sorry, but I will do everything in my power to keep the two of you from getting anywhere near that building.
Nina: Abby and I need this
[Voice breaking] If only just to finally accept that chance is gone and move on. But, you know, thinking about it, what if she’s right? What if he’s hurt and he can’t find a hospital and no one is looking for him?
Christine: Abby is not right. I’m sorry. I wish she knew something we don’t, but she doesn’T. And as painful as it is for me to say this to you… honey, ch– chance is gone.
[ Voice breaking ] And he’s not coming — he’s not coming back.
[ Both crying ]
[ Cellphone chimes ]
Nina: [ Sniffles ]
[ Exhaling heavily ]
Christine: God, I — I have to take this. I’m so sorry.
Nina: It’s okay.
Christine: Nina, I’m gonna come back and check on you. I… trust me on this, please.
Devon: Nina… I would never claim to say that I know what you’re feeling right now. But I do know how a loss like this can overwhelm everything. And it makes it difficult to think rationally when your feelings are raw. I completely understand that. But I can’t stress to you enough how bad of an idea this would be.
Abby: [ Sighs ]
[ Footsteps approaching ] Traveling light to save some time. You know, I was upstairs thinking. Now, I probably shouldn’t be doing this alone. Would one of you be willing to fly to spain with me? Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts.
Sally: I don’t need any reminders. Thanks. My personal life is under control.
Chloe: Well, listen up anyway. The whole reason I accepted adam’s offer to create this fashion division under the newman media umbrella was because of my best friend — chelsea.
Sally: So you said.
Chloe: She may not want adam anymore — thank god — but she definitely won’t want to see him with anyone else. It will make this unworkable. So, all these good feelings that you have about our collaboration — it will go out the window. So, if you want this as much as you say you do, please, please stick to our original plan and move on.
Sally: Okay. Message received.
Chloe: I sincerely hope you mean that, sally. I know that you have something to prove. And I really — I really think it’s great. It’s a big reason why I decided to bring you on — because making a name for yourself, building credibility and respect, not to mention taking home a big, fat paycheck…
Sally: [ Sighs ]
Chloe: …Should definitely be your main focus. Lingering romantic feelings with adam, not so much.
Sally: Okay. Everything you said before that last little bit — that is my main focus. I’m happy being unattached.
Chloe: Good. Because I do share your concerns. Things are about to get real dicey around here, and we really need to focus on protecting our assets.
Adam: I got gaines hidden away. What’s more, I hold the proof that can bury ashland locke and newman media. So you, victor, and ashland are gonna cancel your plans to attack chanccomm. Otherwise, I bring you all down.
Devon: Can we just stop for a second, abby, and think about what you’re talking about doing and think about how reckless it would be to go to a place that’s that dangerous and that unstable, where there’s men and women still risking their lives there every day?
Abby: Chance may be one of them.
Devon: Even if he is, it doesn’t matter. We can’t let you go.
Abby: You can’t let me go look for my husband?
Devon: No, we can’t because there’s people already looking for him, and we’re not gonna let you put your life at risk.
Abby: The authorities have given us no definitive proof that chance was in that building when it blew up. So, what, they expect us to just roll over and accept this? Don’t you want to see what happened for yourself?
Nina: Yes. Oh, my god, yes, I do. I know why you want to go, abby. I’m feeling all the same things.
Abby: Well, great. Great. Yeah, go pack your things. I will handle things on this end.
Nina: No, wait. Let me finish. What you’re proposing to do — it’s a terrible idea. It just isn’t safe.
Abby: I don’t care about the danger.
Nina: It’s not just the danger, though.
Devon: Abby, are you trained, like, to go and do anything like this? Do you have experience in law enforcement?
Abby: The authorities aren’t looking for chance!
Devon: Why would you say that? “A,” you don’t know that for a fact, and, “b,” what are you gonna do when you show up to a crime scene that you weren’t invited to? All the people that are there, the agents — they’re gonna have to stop whatever they’re doing so they can deal with you. Can you please just leave this up to the professionals? I beg you.
Abby: I have left it to the professionals! And they have given me no real answers! Look, I know that I can take this on. I am going to fly to valencia, and I am gonna find out what happened to chance. Whether or not you want to come with me, I don’t care, so stop trying to talk me out of it.
Mariah: If you’re going to spain, what does that mean for dominic? Should I move back in and stay with him?
Abby: [ Sighs ]
