Recap written by Terry

After discovering Connor tried to run away to live with Chelsea’s mother, Adam and Chelsea struggled with Connor’s desire to leave his school, Walnut Grove, and to even leave Genowa city.

Connor explained that he had no friends there, and that kids at school talked about the problems his family faced. He said the kids talked about him behind his back because Adam fought with his family and about Chelsea’s issues. He added the other kids also talked about him since Connor found out he and Johnny are brothers, instead of cousins.

Connor said he wanted to go to a school where other kids would not know about him or his family and would want to be friends. Connor researched online and found a school near Chelsea’s mother, Anita, that helped kids Connor’s age with anxiety and depression. Connor said he does not want to go to that bad place Chelsea was in and Chelsea agreed she did not want that for him, either.

Adam was hesitant to allow Connor to go, reasoning that Connor could change schools and get help where they live right now. He explained that he and Connor need each other and always have fun when they are together, but Chelsea pointed out that Connor comes before either of them and it was a good idea to visit the school to see if it’s the right school for Connor. Adam agreed that Connor’s wellbeing was the most important thing.

Chelsea saw Sharon at the coffee house, told her that Connor wanted to leave his school, the city and to visit a new school near Chelsea’s mother. Sharon replied that the school had a very good reputation for its work with children and teenagers. Sharon told Chelsea it was very mature and self aware of Connor to look for solutions to his problems, and that speaks to good parenting.

At the Athletic Club, Daniel asked Heather if she was avoiding him. Heather admitted she was, and it was because he had a lot going on and that she did not want to complicate his life. Heather said Daniel had come a long way from the person he was after he drove away both Lucy and Heather. Heather stated she was glad Daniel’s relationship with Lucy was on solid ground again.

She said she would in remain in Genowa city for a while longer, since her law firm closes every August for three weeks and she is in no rush to return to Portugal. She admitted she did not share her plans because she was not sure how Daniel would feel. He responded that he would take all the time he could get with Lucy, that he thought it was fantastic they were staying and he took Heather’s hand. Lily returned to the club and appeared concerned after seeing that.

As Daniel left for a work meeting, Lily praised Heather for keeping Phyllis out of jail. Heather said Phyllis deserved all the credit since it was Phyllis who pleaded for leniency and convinced the judge, who decided that an appropriate sentence would be probation and community service. Although Heather said she was happy that Lily and Daniel found each other again, Heather appeared troubled after Lily stepped away to take a work call.

Chance informed Sharon that retired former police chief Paul Williams recommended Chance to be the new police chief. Chance said he felt that a career in police work chose him, but that he wasn’t sure the job of police chief was right for him. Chance said he enjoyed the work he does now, and noted that the chief of police had to oversee every case that’s being investigated, meaning he would not be in the field, actively investigating cases. Sharon indicated she liked Paul’s recommendation, since it would mean less danger.

Recap written by Suzanne

Anna awakens groggily in her hotel room, wondering where Valentin is. She finds his briefcase and picks the lock. She pulls out a file with the Pikeman logo on it. She’s shocked but manages to close the briefcase and put it back before he walks in the door (but the file is still out). She asks him for help in finding out who destroyed her life. He suggests that whomever did it were professionals and probably covered their tracks well. He will investigate, cautiously, but he doesn’t think it will be easy to find the culprit. He also lies to her again about being at ELQ. Anna goes to take a shower, since she has to go talk to her insurance company about the fire. When she comes out, Valentin is gone, and so is his briefcase and the Pikeman file.

Robert goes to a judge’s chambers. The judge is late, but Diane is there. They play their usual little verbal games. He asks her about the car show, so she goes on and on about how beautiful the cars were and hints that she was there with a date, not Alexis. He looks perturbed. Diane smiles at the effect she has on him. Robert gets a phone call about Anna’s house burning down, so he rushes off to see her. Anna is upset when Robert visits, pouring her heart out about the fire. He holds her tenderly. He offers to go with her to the insurance office, but she asks him to first help her tell Robin over Zoom about the fire, so he does (we don’t see Robin, though).

Olivia finds Ned eating cold lasagna, which horrifies her. She offers to make him a frittata, but he likes cold lasagna. He can tell that she’s still freaking out, so he lets her warm up the lasagna. He realizes it’s pretty good. Olivia is bothered that he doesn’t want any parmesan because Ned loved it. They chat a little about Leo. She tries to question him about his late night, but he confides that he spent most of the night playing his guitar and working on a new song in the solarium (he did mention that Tracy showed up drunk in the wee hours). He tells her that his muse is Elvis and invites her to listen to his new song, which she’s happy to do. While he goes to get his guitar, Monica phones Olivia, so they chat for a few seconds. Monica is traveling but wanted to check in, especially about how Ned’s doing. Olivia explains that he’s still Eddie but things are looking up. Eddie makes some wise observations about how Olivia does so much for everyone. He plays and sings the song, which is beautiful. It’s about being lost at sea and hearing a siren. The song clearly moves Olivia, and she gets upset when he stops. He hasn’t yet written the rest of the song. She thanks him for sharing it with her.

Joss chats with Carly at home before she leaves for the Metro Court pool. She plans to go there and study, since school is starting soon. After she leaves, Carly gets a call from Drew, from Pentonville. Carly is very happy that Drew is out of solitary. They catch up a little, and she promises to come see him. She’s not happy that he rescued Cyrus. Meanwhile, Cyrus has a flashback to when he got into a fight (before Drew saved him). Drew walks in, so he greets him. Drew looks warily at him. Cyrus talks about how his heart attack changed him. As usual, his words seem to mean more than one thing, so it’s hard to figure out what he really means. Cyrus makes it clear, though, that he owes Drew his life for saving him.

Diane drops by Carly’s place to chat about Robert and trying to have a romantic relationship again. Carly thinks, at first, that she’s just there to bring bad news (since she usually does). Diane is afraid of getting hurt again.

On the phone, Betty tries to get Mason to tell her she doesn’t have to be Avery’s nanny any more, but he doesn’t want her to leave yet. When she gets to the penthouse, Sonny plays with her – like a cat with a mouse. He tells her that Avery is sick, so she can’t see her today. He even gives her some extra money. Dex follows her, like before, on Sonny’s orders. Betty goes to the Metro Court pool and uses Sonny’s gift to order a bunch of food and drinks. Joss, seated nearby, says nasty things to her. Dex arrives and rushes over to Joss, then kisses her passionately to shut her up before she could wonder why he’s there. He pretends that they had a date to meet, and he’s late. Joss keeps looking at him quizzically. Eventually, she asks him what’s going on, but he has to leave when Betty does, so he asks her to trust him.

Valentin receives a text from Sonny, demanding that he drop by, so he does. Sonny argues on the phone with Ava, explaining that they’ve set their trap for Betty. Sonny questions Valentin about his involvement with Pikeman. Valentin worries that Sonny isn’t taking Pikeman seriously and warns him to take the offered deal, but Sonny isn’t going to do that. It’s clear he doesn’t trust the Pikeman group, nor Valentin

Recap written by Suzanne

Liam sits with Hope in their cabin home; he tries to get her to remember how bad Thomas was and how good she is. They just celebrated Beth’s birthday, so they both remember that Thomas knew that Steffy’s adopted daughter “Phoebe” was really Beth, and he said nothing. Liam thinks that Hope is not acting like herself; he hints that they could find their way back to each other.

Thomas visits Steffy, having missed the birthday party for Beth on purpose. He didn’t want there to be any awkwardness with Liam and Hope. Steffy wants to know what his relationship is now with Hope, and whether he could let her go back to Liam. He doesn’t think Hope will go back to Liam, since they already signed divorce papers, but he wants Hope to be happy, regardless. Later, Liam visits Steffy. They talk about the girls and then Hope and Thomas. Liam thinks that Hope may have finally listened to him about Thomas.

Ridge and Brooke kiss in the office. Ridge had missed the birthday party, so Brooke shows him some photos on her phone. They talk about whether Liam and Hope will get back together. Ridge knows that Brooke blames Thomas for their troubles. Brooke hopes that Liam and Hope can get back together. Later, Thomas drops by Ridge’s office and admires a design that Ridge is working on. They catch up. Ridge praises Thomas’ success but, like Steffy, wants to know what’s going on between Thomas and Hope.

Brooke visits Hope in the cabin. Brooke mentions something similar to what Liam said about Thomas (and Beth’s past). Brooke can tell that Thomas has changed for the better, but she can’t forgive him of what he’s done. Hope assures her that she heard what she and Liam are saying. She admits that seeing Liam with Beth at the party helped put things in perspective for her. She wonders if Liam is right, that she’s lost herself. She beats herself up for sleeping with Thomas behind Liam’s back. Hope says she thinks she doesn’t know who she is any more. Brooke thinks that this means Hope is coming back to being herself. She urges Hope to put an end to her relationship with Thomas and focus on her family. Hope looks very confused.

Dante finds his mom at the Metro Court pool, doing menial work. Olivia is just trying to keep herself from worrying about Ned and dealing with losing him. Dante gets called away to deal with the fire at Anna’s house. Later, Ned leaves Sonny’s and shows up at the Metro Court. She thanks him for coming to her rescue and tells him that she knows now that he’s Eddie, not Ned, and she makes sure he knows that she would never have him committed like Tracy wants. They share a warm moment.

Sonny is on the phone, arguing with Selina, when Ned leaves. Betty arrives to see Sonny, as he requested. He makes sure she can stay with Avery after her summer camp, at the penthouse, because he has a meeting until 5. She readily agrees. He praises her work with Avery. He then meets with Dex to explain to him his “trap” for Betty, Mason and Austin. He has a USB drive that Brick made up with fake information about his deal with Pikeman. There’s a tracking device on it, and when they give their boss the drive, they’ll be able to use it find out who he is and deal with him.

Carly chats with Josslyn at home. Josslyn feels bad that she had her phone off all night, but Carly tells her not to worry about it. Carly explains what happened at the Highsider bar last night and why she spent the night in jail rather than get help from Sonny. Josslyn is confused, so Carly also explains why she and Sonny will always be connected. Later, Sonny drops by to see Donna and chats with Carly. He wonders why she wouldn’t let him check her out of the police station last night. She tells him that she has to be more independent and can’t rely on him any more.

Valentin tells Anna, at her burned-down house, that the police and fireman are wrapping things up. She looks like she’s in shock as she stares grimly at one of her burned photos. He suggests that they leave. He blames himself for not being there last night while the fire happened, but she tells him it wasn’t his fault. He figures this is revenge from someone that found out she was a double agent (because of Victor). Anna thinks that one of the many people she hurt in the past is out for revenge against her. Valentin tries to make her see that it’s not her fault (to no avail). Dante arrives and asks her to come to the station for a statement. They talk about what happened. Dante is clearly suspicious of Valentin and checks on his motive. Anna doesn’t think that the WSB or Pikeman targeted her. She thinks it’s someone who wants revenge.

Austin is not happy to see Mason in his office again. Mason has a headache from being hit over the head with a bottle (by Carly). Betty arrives, further irritating Austin. She tells them that she will be snooping around Sonny’s penthouse to dig up some dirt for their boss. Mason reminds Austin that their boss paid for Austin to go to medical school so that he could help them, so Austin will never be able to leave. Austin wonders why their boss wants the info, but Mason claims not to know.

Recap written by Terry

Ashley and Tucker were married. A doubtful Abby walked her mother down the aisle. Earlier she noticed Ashley looked deep in thought and told Ashley she did not have to go through with the wedding. Ashley chalked it up to a bride’s nerves. Once she and Tucker were married, Jack presented Ashley with documents that returned her own company’s assets back to her. Jack said he wanted to do so to end the war between them.

Tucker appeared eager to marry Ashley again, but earlier Victor told Tucker that Ashley was marrying Tucker to get control of Jabot from Jack and that Tucker was just along for the ride. Tucker responded that Victor may be right or he may be wrong.

Victor said he knew about the company Tucker and Ashley bought in Europe and it could be a foundation for a new business. Tucker remarked that he thought he and Ashley had kept that a well concealed secret.

That evening at the ranch Victor and Nikki discussed the motives of Audra and Nate,  who were both promoting the merger of Newman Media with Adustus. Nikki informed Victor that Audra visited her and Nikki suspected Audra is planning something with Nate. Audra later joined Nikki and Victor at the ranch and said she wanted to explain why she is promoting the merger.  The visit raised suspicion, and Victor later told Nikki that Adam is behind Audra’s and Nate’s desire to have Adustus and Newman Media merge.

Earlier, Audra and Kyle formed a plan to get Audra out from under Adam’s control. Audra told Kyle about the top secret mess she had to clean up for Tucker, but now Adam Newman knew about it and was blackmailing her. Adam wants Newman Media back and even though she would lose her job if the merger was successful, Audra had to do Adam’s bidding.
