Billy arrives and orders a drink, his demeanor indicating he’s already on a downward spiral. He confronts Victor, insinuating that Victor is eager to watch Chancellor Industries collapse, only to swoop in and capitalize on it.

In a separate scene at Crimson Lights, Lucy bumps into Faith, who is gathering drinks for herself and her mom.

Tessa meets Mariah at the park, expecting a romantic surprise, but Mariah is preoccupied with a more pressing issue: her mother’s health. Mariah shares that they staged a mini-intervention, and her mother agreed to take better care of herself, including a trip for rest.

Tessa urges Mariah to speak with Sharon, but Mariah is reluctant, feeling that every encounter with Sharon is a reminder of Cassie’s absence.

She reminds Billy that his earlier claims about Victor not being a threat are no longer valid, as Victor is clearly preparing to make a move against them.
