Cam and Joss Confide in Liz and Carly About Their Sex Tape — Plus, Michael Gives Brook Lynn Advice Regarding Chase

In the Quartermaine kitchen, Willow and Michael share a passionate kiss, which BLQ walks in on. She jokes it’s good to see some things haven’t changed. They ask about her trip. She says it felt good to get away, but now she’s back and needs to get her stuff out of the house. Michael relays that he and Chase did that last week. She thanks him, and realizes she must figure out what’s next for her.

Michael and Willow bring up Bailey and know she fell in love with that baby, and that’s understandable. BLQ admits giving Bailey up has been excruciating, but she’ll get over it and go back to that single carefree life she lived before. Michael doesn’t think she’s the same person anymore, and Willow concurs. Brook Lynn notes she didn’t go through it alone, and Chase was there for her.

Willow realizes she’s late and has to observe rounds at GH. She rushes out, and BLQ tells Michael that the two of them are still nauseatingly cute. Michael brings up the fact that he couldn’t help but notice how she was talking about Chase earlier. Brook Lynn says they are just friends, and even if she felt something, it was probably a result of the situation. Michael thinks it looked like a lot more. BLQ fears if she tells Chase that she likes him and he doesn’t return the feelings, she would lose him as a friend. Michael suggests she focus on what she might gain.

Chase stops by Finn’s office at the hospital. He’s bored out of his mind with two months left on his suspension. He asks Finn when his next date is so he can babysit Violet. Finn says he can visit anytime, but his date nights are over. Finn explains Liz is concerned about the portrait, and that Jake could be acting out. With Betsy Frank off the list, Jake has become the prime suspect. Off-camera, Finn fills his brother in on everything Jake went through as a kid.

Finn wants to be there for Liz but needs to respect her wishes. He changes the subject and asks how Brook Lynn is. Chase says he hasn’t heard from her since she left town. Finn asks if he’s reached out to her. Chase says he texted her, “How are you.” She replied with a thumbs up, so obviously, she doesn’t want to talk to him. Finn says, “Yeah, you should just give up then.”

At Liz’s place, Liz, Cam and Jake sit down for breakfast. Jake asks about Finn’s whereabouts. Liz tells her kids that she and Finn are taking time apart so she can focus on their family. Jake asks if this is about the weird stuff going on. Liz says that is part of it, but they are her number one priority. She knows things haven’t been safe and happy lately, and she made Jake an appointment with the doctor to talk about how he feels. Jake feels his mom thinks he’s a psycho.

Liz doesn’t like that word and says they all need to talk to someone every now and then. Suddenly, Jake’s phone pings, and he gets a message from a friend asking if a video is really of Cam. Cam stops him, grabs his phone and deletes the message. Jake says he can still find it, so Cam tells him to leave it alone. Liz sends Jake to get dressed and then tells Cam he may as well tell her what’s happened. Cam wishes he could die instead.

Cam sulks to the floor and confesses there is a video going around of him and Joss having sex and he explains everything. Liz is in shock. Cam hasn’t heard from Joss and is worried about her. Liz is concerned about Cam and asks what he’s feeling. Cam doesn’t want to talk about this with her ever again. He wishes Franco was there, at least he’d find a way to make him laugh about this.

Liz calls Jake back downstairs. Jake refuses to go see the doctor and swears he’s fine, but Liz knows he’s hurting after losing Franco and now his dad. She tells him that he’s so strong just like Jason, and when something is wrong he gets quiet just the same. Liz explains sometimes it helps just talking to a stranger.

Ava and Nikolas eat breakfast at the Metro Court and plan their upcoming ceremony. Esme gets off the elevator, sees them kissing, and says, “Showtime.”

Esme sits down with them and asks if they are wedding planning. They are and reveal they’ve decided to invite the family to the ceremony. Esme suggests he not bother inviting Spence. Ava suspects this is about Spencer not accepting her, and Esme confirms it. Nikolas says Spencer will have to get used to Ava. Ava gets a call and excuses herself.

Alone, Esme tells Nikolas that he’s not the man she thought he was from Spencer’s description of him. Nikolas assumes it was all bad, but she says Spence worshiped him. He said as a kid that it was the two of them against the world. Esme explains Spence always described him as a man of singular focus, and Spence thinks now his focus is on Ava. She knows he has room for a lot of love in his heart, and she’s been speaking to Spencer on his behalf. She offers to talk to him about the renewal.

Ava returns and tells Nikolas the call was about Ryan. She fills him in on Kevin’s visit, and that he’s still locked in. Esme grips her fist under the table. Ava is just glad to know there is nothing that the monster can do to them from Spring Ridge. Ava must get to the gallery, and Nikolas thinks he should go. Esme was hoping to talk to Nikolas more about Spencer, so Ava urges him to stay. Nikolas at least offers to walk Ava out first.
