On his phone, Adam reads about Rey’s hospitalization and wonders, “What’s going on here?” He figures Chloe set this in motion or it was somehow Chelsea. He asks her if she’s recovered enough to fool them all and urges her to talk to him so they can fix this. She thinks to herself, “No Adam, I’m fixing it.” Adam exits, then silently opens the door again in time to see Chelsea smile as though pleased with herself. With that confirmation, he leaves again. Rey comes downstairs and calls out for Adam. Chelsea cuts her eyes toward the door. Rey leaves and Chelsea stretches and grins.

Abby asks if he’s thought of having a family of his own. Devon replies, “Of course,” but confides that he ruined a good thing that could have been a great thing.

At the ranch, Faith waits until Nikki’s out of sight then continues her text conversation. The anonymous texter claims he’s Tommy Ross from school. Faith squeals into a pillow, and then texts back that she can’t even believe he noticed her. When he asks to meet, Faith replies that she can’t sneak away right now. A new message comes through asking her to tell him she loves him. Faith whispers, “You’re joking right?” He says he’ll go first and messages that he loves her. She types, “I love you, Tommy Ross.” But her next few texts go unanswered.

When Faith asks why he’s ghosting her, she’s told to check her social media. Her proclamation of love is posted there. Humiliated, Faith asks why he would do that. The texter responds, “Because I’m not Tommy and you fell for it, loser.” Faith sobs as the bully reveals herself to be Jordan who got sick of her whining and letting her parents run her life. Later, Nikki finds Faith crying and learns it was Jordan. “I don’t understand why she’d be so mean,” Faith sobs. Nikki fumes that she was clearly never her friend to begin with and advises Faith to leave her behind. She assures her granddaughter the pain will pass.

In Amanda’s suite, Naya explains to her daughter that her father is being accused of murder by a reporter and she wants her to defend him. Amanda asks why she would even consider doing such a thing. Naya reveals, “Because the man he’s accused of killing is your father.” Amanda’s stunned; she told her that her father was killed in a car crash after she was born. Naya confirms that he was; his name was Richard Nyland. Amanda becomes emotional, then asks why the reporter believes Sutton was behind the death. She adds she’s never tried a murder case. Naya knows she studied criminal law. Amanda points out if she took this on it would be impossible to hide her connection to the family. Naya, assuming Amanda will be thrilled, chirps that they won’t hide it anymore. Amanda’s floored; she was a dirty secret, and now here Naya is, ready to open the gates and let her in.

Naya exclaims that they want to bring her into the fold and onto their team. Amanda thinks she wants to use her as a PR stunt to make the jury see Sutton in a more sympathetic light. She reminds her Imani has a restraining order on her. Naya assures her it’s no longer in effect. She figured that Amanda would want to find the truth about Richard’s death and in the process get to know a family who would welcome her with open arms. Amanda gives her a cynical look. Naya admits she’s scared and desperate but she also saw this as a sign that Amanda found her for a reason; fate reunited them so they could fight this together as a family. Amanda hasn’t even heard the facts of the case and learns most of the details were kept from Naya. She warns her mother not to assume she’ll say yes.

Naya exits and Devon, who’s been watching, approaches. “That looked pretty intense.” Amanda confirms that Naya told her some things that will take a while to process, but she doesn’t want to talk to him about it.
