Adam and Chelsea meet at Society, where she shares that their son wishes for them to reunite as a family.

Billy and Phyllis walk in.
It’s awkward so Phyllis makes small talk and Billy stomps off to the bar. Phyllis follows.

CBS
When she asks if he’s thought about, he claims he feels the same.
She says they need to talk to their son and stop him from getting his hopes up.
Adam admits he’s lied about not considering their future as a couple like they used to be. Is it that surprising?

What happened that night in Baltimore was more than desperation and fear. He can’t shake it.

At the bar, Billy glares at Phyllis when she asks if Chelsea dumped him for Adam.

She urges him to open up and says he looks like he’s about to explode.

She guesses he doesn’t blame Chelsea and wonders if he can forgive her.
CBS
He’s tried and if it was anyone other than Adam, he might. Phyllis is sure that Chelsea is full of guilt.
She suggests it could have just been two parents worried about their son. It’s been known to happen. He says that was Chelsea’s take.
Phyllis suggests he believe her. They’ve all made this mistake.
CBS
They watch as Chelsea storms out.
Billy immediately rushes over and demands to know what Adam did now.

They’ve tried speaking to her but she keeps shrugging it off. She’s started actively avoiding them.
He was hoping they could give him some advice. He doesn’t know what wrong with Sharon or if she’s even on her meds.

They’ve pressed her to get help and he’s ready to go directly to her doctor himself.
Victoria says the doctor won’t help unless she’s in danger. Victor says there are ways to make him talk.
CBS
Nick just wants to tell the doctor what he’s seen. His dad urges him to take Faith out of the situation and let her stay with him.
Nick doesn’t think that’s the answer. Nikki urges him to go to the doctor.

Mariah is sorry if they’ve put pressure on her but it’s because they love her. Her mom gets it but can’t take it anymore.
Mariah thinks they can work through this as a family but says there’s no way to do that right now.
CBS
She announces she’s going off the grid for awhile, maybe to Sedona and tells her not to try to track her down.
She’ll only heal if they give her space and will reach out when she’s ready.
CBS
When she hangs up, Sharon is practically weeping. Cameron says that needed to be done.
She feels bad and accuses him of having no feelings. He reminds her he’s not real.
