Lucy walks into Crimson Lights and sees Faith. The older girl takes her into her arms and she cries.

Faith gets Lucy a drink, and the girl apologizes for losing it. Faith tells her there’s no reason to apologize. She can’t begin to imagine how devastating this is for her. Lucy cries. She can’t believe her mom is gone. “I miss her so much.” She never thought there would be a time when she wouldn’t be there. She wishes she could take back the horrible things she said to her and could tell her how much she loves her. Lucy would hold her and never let her go. Faith asks if she knows anymore about what happened. Lucy has no idea. It’s so crazy. Faith knows this is the hardest thing she’s ever had to face, but she has to promise this tragedy won’t lead to her doing something… Lucy says, “Stupid. Like drinking.” She admits she’s been tempted.

At the Club, Chance tells Summer he wishes Daniel would let him search the apartment. Summer narrows her eyes, “You don’t actually think Heather was having an affair, do you?” Chance wants to let the evidence rule it out. He’d rather do it with Daniel’s cooperation. Summer tells him the suggestion he’s made is painful for her brother. Chance tells her this is the only hope he has of getting their family the answers they deserve.

At Daniel’s place, he tells Phyllis that Chance suggested that Heather may have had a lover. He told him it was disrespectful, and on top of that, he wants to search the apartment. Phyllis finds out he refused to let him, and tells her son he has to let Chance do it. It’s a huge mistake not to allow it. Daniel shakes his head. Phyllis says Chance is a professional and knows what to look for… there could be something he and Lucy wouldn’t find important. She doesn’t believe Heather had a lover, but he needs to let Chance find that out. Maybe there’s a clue that will tell them what happened. “It’s an investigation, Daniel. Let him do his job.” She offers to start searching herself, and Daniel holds up his hands, “OK.”

Daniel tells Phyllis he’s not ready to go through Heather’s things, and he doesn’t want her doing it either. Phyllis understands. Daniel says it’s all he can do every day just to walk past her things. He can still smell her perfume on the sheets. Her slippers are there, but he can’t bring himself to pick them up. Chance isn’t going to find anything… what happened to Heather was an accident. What does he expect to find in their home. Even if the worst happened, the answers aren’t there. Phyllis knows it would be horrific for him and Lucy. If there’s nothing there, let Chance figure it out. Alternatively, he might find something that would tell them about Heather’s last moments. “Just consider what I’m saying.”

At home, Sharon arranges sunflowers into a bouquet and then picks up her phone. She calls Nick, who is just entering the coffee house patio. She asks if he’s busy, and wants him to meet her at the park.

At the park, Nick finds Sharon waiting with a picnic. “This is how we are going to spend our afternoon. Nick’s bewildered about why she’s doing all this for him. Sharon says to thank him for dinner the other night. “I got all your favorites.” Nick makes a weirded out face. Sharon tells him he’s been supportive and it’s time she did something for him. She pours him some bubbly and says she’s avoiding alcohol on her new meds. She feels so much better the past few days, and attributes a lot of that to him coming to her rescue again.

Nick compliments the “spread” and Sharon reminds him of the first time he made him her famous chocolate chip cookies. She makes small talk about work and says this reminds her of a picnic they had when they first started dating. Nick doesn’t remember. Sharon tells him he’d laid out delicacies from all over town. Nick recalls it started to pour and they had to hide under a tree. They laugh about the picnic being washed away. Sharon says, “And then, you kissed me.” She was smitten. Nick says, “Young and dumb in love.” Sharon wouldn’t have changed a thing.

In his office, Billy throws a file on the desk and calls Esther to get Don in sales on the phone… he’s missing deadlines. Billy’s laptop rings… it’s Jill.

Jill bellows, “Did you really think I wouldn’t hear about all these outrageous actions you’ve taken without my input or consent?!” Billy insists he’s making sound business decisions. Jill rants, “How is firing Lily a sound business decision when she knows more about this company than you will ever know?!” Billy reminds his mother she gave him full power. Jill rants that he used it to get rid of Lily, let Chance walk, and replace them with Phyllis Summers of all people. Billy defends his decision to hire the redhead. Jill asks if he’s out of his mind, “Are you on a one-man mission to bring down the whole Chancellor empire?!”

Her brother wants him to come over.

Summer asks if she thinks Chance will find something that will change everything Daniel believed about Heather.

Phyllis doesn’t believe Heather was having an affair… Daniel and Lucy were her world. Summer agrees. She is sure Chance won’t stop until he gets to the truth. Phyllis hopes Billy will hire Daniel back at Chancellor to help him get his life back on track.

At Crimson Lights, Faith tells Lucy she’s sure Chance is just being thorough by looking into every possibility. Lucy thanks her for being so kind. She regrets taking advantage of her kindness before. Faith tells her to forget about all of that. Lucy never really never had a good friend. Her mom was always her best friend. “For most of my life, she was my only friend.” She cries. The idea that someone wanted her dead and the thought of what the last few minutes of her life where like, “Please, don’t let that be how my mom died.” Faith hugs her.

Billy denies that and tells her that Lily was screwing him over… she was secretly planning to get him out so she can run the company on her own. As for Chance, he gave him an ultimatum to make him an equal partner, but he’s been at the company for five minutes.

You get her back, or I swear I will get rid of you and I will take back control of the company myself!”

In Daniel’s apartment, Chance searches. They hear a phone, but it’s not either of theirs. They hear it again, and Chance asks, “Where’s that coming from?” Daniel wonders if his mom left her phone.

Nick tells Lucy that losing someone that close to her is unbearable. They’ve been through it… but she’ll get through it.

Chance asks, “Then what is this doing here?” Daniel has no idea. Chance turns back to the liquor cabinet and reaches inside. He pulls out a bundle of bloody towels. “What the hell is this, man?” Daniel says it looks like their towels. He gawps, “Is that blood?”
