He fills her in on the scene between Victoria and Victor and she asks, “So how did you find out about all of this?” Billy admits that Victoria came to see him and he followed her to the ranch. Lily wonders why she couldn’t have told him about Victor’s deal with Ashland in a phone call. Billy’s unconcerned about her motives and wants to focus on Lily.

At the penthouse, Chelsea paces and complains about how slowly everything is moving. There’s a knock and she scurries into the wheelchair before calling, “Come in!” Rey enters and asks if she’s okay; he thought he heard her talking to someone. Chelsea covers and Rey shares that he has an idea to lure Adam out of hiding. He wants him to pay. Chelsea asks what she can do. Rey wants her to bring Connor back to Genoa City and convince Adam he’s sick. Chelsea’s stunned; “You want to use my son as bait?!”

Chelsea refuses, but Rey persists; they’d never let Adam get near the boy. Chelsea argues it would traumatize Connor and accuses Rey of not caring about that. She wonders if Rey’s willing to throw his principles away because Adam’s gotten so far under his skin. Rey admits his hatred for the guy is taking over everything good in his life. Chelsea understands what it’s like to be obsessed with something and watch it take over your life. She muses, “Doing the right thing is in your DNA.” She gets a faraway look in her eyes as she adds, “You’re not like the rest of us, Rey.” He watches her suspiciously.
