In the halls of the hospital, Sasha calls her dealer to make a purchase and she’ll meet them outside. After the call, Chase approaches her to let her know Nelle is dead. The detective believes they are free to tell Michael and Willow the truth now, but Sasha goes off on him for deluding himself that Michael and Willow aren’t growing closer and it’s too late for them. She quickly apologizes and claims she hasn’t been sleeping well due to all the work at Deception. Chase worries about her and tells her that she can lean on him anytime she needs to. In another room, Scott informs Liz and Franco that he met with Ava and Nikolas, and they are freaking out and ready to pay. Liz feels guilty for stooping to blackmail, but Franco mentions how twenty-five thousand is chump change for them. Scott admits he raised the stakes and asked for one hundred and twenty-five thousand from each. Franco imagines what they can do with that amount of money, but Liz reminds them blackmail is a crime. Scott doubts those two will go to the cops. Scott says they’ll never know about Franco and Liz’s involvement, and it will all be on him. Liz doesn’t agree with Scott’s methods but is appreciative that he’s protective of their family.
At Chase’s apartment, Ned tells Brook Lynn not to hesitate to call him if she needs anything and departs.

Robert says she’s married, but Ethan knows that never stopped him before. Robert and Ethan reminisce about Holly, and Ethan admits he felt guilty that Holly let him think that he was his son.

Olivia returns and offers to put Ethan up in the Metro Court, but he has plans in Antigua, though thanks her for the offer and may take it another time.
