Lily reflects that it’s helped to have her dad close by, and talks about getting to know the women there. Lily notes their phone calls are hard sometimes because they avoid discussing the ‘now’.

Mattie Ashby (Lexie Stevenson) and Charlie Ashby (Noah Alexander) feel the three of them should attend Reed Hellstrom’s (Tristan Lake Leabu) memorial for J.T.

Kyle reassures her. Lola keeps second-guessing herself. Kyle advises her to just lock it down. Inside, Nate Hastings (Brooks Darnell) spots Ana Hamilton and asks if she’s going on a trip. Ana tells him Devon Hamilton doesn’t want her around, so she’s leaving and won’t be back. She explains what happened. Nate feels Devon over-reacted. Ana argues it’s not the first time this has happened and says he doesn’t want her around.

At the police station, Victor Newman learns he has a visitor and it’s Jack Abbott. Victor smirks, “I’ll be damned.” He mocks Jack for working for his son. Jack came to check on him. He informs Victor he’ll look out for his family no matter how long he’s ‘away’. Victor doesn’t need his help and says he can runs things from in there. They spar about Jack being accused of killing Victor last year, and now Victor is accused of murdering J.T. Hellstrom. Jack thinks he’s guilty. Victor informs him he’s wrong.
Jack muses that Victor’s radar was on the fritz with J.T., and sympathizes with Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) having to try and win this case. Jack’s amazed he won’t even look out for himself. Victor wonders if maybe Jack set him up. Jack denies it. Victor admits he hated J.T.’s guts but wouldn’t kill him in cold blood and says he wouldn’t do it to Reed Hellstrom or Victoria Newman, nor would he leave a gun or bloody clothing as evidence. Jack marvels that he could be telling the truth, but warns the police are determined to nail him. Victor says they have nothing. Jack wonders how many people in for life have had that same thought.
Ana Hamilton and Nate Hastings arrive at the penthouse, where Devon Hamilton thanks Nate for convincing Ana not to go yet. Devon admits he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he doesn’t know why he flipped out yesterday, but he shouldn’t have because he trusts Ana. He concedes she was right about the song needing more feeling. Devon promises to be a better brother if she’ll stay. Ana agrees. Devon gifts her with a ‘family’ photo frame. Later, Abby Newman arrives, and they discuss Victor Newman.
Devon asks Ana to stay as Lola Rosales comes in with her food. They all agree the dishes should set trends. Lola’s presentation goes over perfectly except Devon feels her pricing suggestions are too low. Lola is offered a contract and advised to have a lawyer look it over. They also give her advance. After Lola’s gone, Abby and Devon enthuse about working together. Abby thinks Devon seems good and it’s because of Ana.
Back over at the Abbott mansion, Lola Rosales arrives and tells Kyle Abbott her presentation went incredibly and it was like they were a team. Kyle agrees to give her a lawyer recommendation and convinces her she earned the big advance. Kyle gushes, then tells her, “I love you.” Lola loves him too. They kiss.
