In the hospital, Nate disconnects from Sharon and turns to look at Faith unconscious and bloodied in the bed. Soon, Sharon and Nick rush in. Sharon gasps, “My poor baby!” Nate joins them and explains their daughter was in a serious accident and she has internal bruising to her kidneys and cracked ribs. The extent of her head injury will be known when she regains consciousness. They ask if she’d been drinking. Nate confirms that there was alcohol in her blood and she was driving without a seat-belt. They’re very lucky she was brought in when she was. Nick asks, “Who found her?” Nate explains she was brought to the hospital by a Good Samaritan — a man who disappeared right afterward.

Sharon sits by Faith’s bedside and feels she failed her. She cries that it’s been such a hard year for all of them. “We would never give up on you so don’t give up on us!” Later, Nick asks about the mystery man again but Nate has no more information. Nick takes a turn at Faith’s beside and tells her how badly everyone wants her to be okay. He wishes he had some way to help her. Sharon listens as he pleads with her to open her eyes.

Billy has to ask why he’d go into business with Adam, who can’t be trusted. Lily retorts, “Why can’t you let this go?!” She argues that he’d be attacking his judgement and could get on the wrong side of him. Billy insists it’s a threat to their company; he’s willing to take the risk. Lily is done. “You’re sounding obsessed.” She wants to take his mind off this and says, “Come on, let’s go.”

In his suite, Kyle tells Jack they needed to have complete privacy. Jack turns off his phone. All he knows it this has to do with Ashland Locke. Kyle explains it actually starts with his wife, Tara. He goes over how they met at a party and Kyle admits he knew she was married. They developed feelings for one another. Jack wishes he’d known beforehand and thanks God that Ashland doesn’t know. Kyle worries he does, and tells his father about his recent calls from Tara and Ashland. Jack wants to know every detail about the affair. Kyle blames Theo, who encouraged his worst impulses.

Jack warns the last thing Kyle wants is to be on Locke’s bad side. Kyle knows. He recalls a story about Ashland doing a hostile takeover because he felt snubbed at a meeting. It sends chills down his spine. Jack relays Locke publicly gutted his former business partner and then went after his brother. Kyle knows he won’t hold back on him… or Jabot. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep this from blowing up. Jack’s just glad his son finally opened up to him. Summer enters and learns Jack’s up to speed on the affair. She assures Jack she’s okay. Jack declares he will handle this from here on out; Kyle needs to stay as far away from Locke as possible. Kyle argues the point, but Jack insists he meet with Ashland solo.
