At the Abbott house, a heavy silence hangs over Jack, Abby, Ashley, and Traci. Jack announces he took Dina back to her suite and she plans to remove Graham from her will. Ash addresses the elephant in the room – her paternity – she’s pretty sure Traci and Abby put two and two together when Dina blurted it out at the event. Abby asks, “How could Dina do that to you?” Traci is put out to learn that a few people knew, but she didn’t. Abby is upset that Ashley hid the fact that John Abbott wasn’t her grandfather. Ash makes her apologies. Jack says Hilary won’t air the footage, but Ash says they can’t contain this – too many people heard. She sobs that Dina promised to take this to her grave. They all assure her she’s an Abbott. Ash only wants to hear from Dina as to why they have to go through this. Jack feels Dina was in distress. Ash argues she needed the wake-up call about Graham. Jack insists they can go on with their lives as though he never existed, but Ashley becomes increasingly emotional until she exits to get some air. Abby thinks her mother is strong, but Jack and Traci warn Ash had a total breakdown when she initially learned the truth. Abby opines that she always felt caught between the Abbotts and Newmans, now she’s more concerned than ever. Once Abby is gone, Traci and Jack worry about Ashley spinning out. Jack fills Traci in on the Brent Davis history. Traci’s incensed at Dina re-opening the wounds. Jack wishes he knew how to help Ashley.

In the dining room, Scott notices Sharon is distracted. She’s dreading telling the girls about Alice and wonders if they’ll ever get to the bottom of who’s behind this, when Zach enters. Sharon leaves, and Scott questions Zach on his relationship with Abby. Zach complains she gives mixed signals, then turns the conversation to Scott’s sex trafficking expose. He wonders if his leads dried up. Scott explains it’s complicated but he won’t drop it. He agrees to talk about the dating app to Zach, who wonders if Scott has a thing for Abby.

Abby returns to the Top of the Tower, where Scott is sipping a drink and brings up Zach. Abby isn’t in the mood for sparring and he offers to lend an ear.
