Trina Manages to Contact Portia, Jordan and Laura for Help — But Makes a Grave Error Ignoring Curtis’ Advice

Finn, Gregory and Chase work out at the yoga studio. The review board meets today to reconsider Chase’s case, and Gregory says he heard Brook Lynn helped him get that second chance. Chase notes he wouldn’t need this second chance if Brook Lynn had written the first letter when asked. Chase vents that Brook Lynn disappointed him again by selling out to Linc for her songs. Gregory says he heard Brook Lynn redeemed herself at the Nurses Ball. Chase says she did expose Linc, but he still can’t trust her as she’s always put herself first.

Gregory says people can change, and he raised them to know everyone deserves a second chance. Finn asks, “When does Alexis get hers?” Gregory says his situation is different, and they are just friends, not in love. Chase doesn’t understand what Alexis did that was so bad. Gregory explains Alexis overstepped and violated his confidence. Finn defends Alexis and says she oversteps when she thinks she’s doing the right thing, and perhaps his dad owes her another chance.

Finn has to pick up Violet and wishes Chase good luck at the meeting. Chase has to get going too, and notes if he gets his job back then he’ll be seeing a lot more of Alexis given many of her family have been abducted by Victor. He says she must be worried sick.

Sam drops by her mother’s office, where Alexis is working to find anything, she can on the Haunted Star. They fill each other in on what they know about the situation with Victor, and both agree to keep each other in the loop about what they find out. Alexis brings up the fact that Sam was in court today and asks why she bailed Cody Bell out. Sam says he’s Dante’s friend and tells her the whole story about him claiming to be framed. Sam says she’s handling this and her mom has enough to deal with so not to worry. Alexis says, “Fine, I won’t interfere where I’m not wanted.” Sam asks if she’s been hit in the head. She quickly realizes this has something to do with Gregory.

Alexis confides in Sam that Gregory doesn’t have a drinking problem, but he does have a problem and refuses to let her help him. Sam says sometimes being a good friend is waiting for them to come to you. Alexis isn’t sure that will happen as he’s even cut his children out of what’s going on with him, which she told him was a mistake. Alexis doubts she’ll ever see him again.

Later after Sam leaves, Alexis is shocked when Gregory shows up to see her.
