At Essentially, Frida was in her office with Alistair, who was going over legal documents about the deal she had with Jill and Genevieve, as Cynthia came strolling in. "Frida, we have to stop Jill from taking over; I told you she can't be trusted." “Cynthia, I have been working on the legal issues, and there is no way Jill can take over this company," Alistair said. “For once, having a lawyer in the family helps. We need to just run this company ourselves." “There is just one issue about stopping Jill and Genevieve from taking over: it will cost you." "How much?" Cynthia asked.

At Jill’s place, Jill was at home getting ready to leave when there was a knock on the door. It was Monica. "Monica, come in. So, did you make a decision?" Jill asked. “Yes, I don't want to work with you. Glam is doing just fine on its own—actually, it's doing fantastic. See, the thing about the fashion industry is we're all competing for the same thing, but we are loyal to each other. I went to the same school as the Crane sisters, as you did. I consider them friends more than enemies. I suggest you do the same." And with that, Monica left.

At Frida / Alistair - Frida was up late. She just listened to the voicemail from Cynthia and was about to call her when Alistair came in. "Frida, it's late. Why are you up?" Alistair asked. “Cynthia just called me. Jill is trying to push me and Cynthia out of the company." "Well, she can't. I will look into the legal documents in the morning." “Yes, I have you the best lawyer in town." "Yes, you do." "Alright, let's go to bed," Frida said. They went upstairs.

At Richard / Ivy - Ivy was going upstairs to her bedroom and saw Richard in their room, which they have shared for years. She did love him. It wasn't a loveless marriage, but it wasn't perfect, and Ivy wasn't ready to share a room with him yet. "Richard, can you go to the guest room? I'm not ready to share a room with you yet," Ivy said. “I have always loved you." "I know, Richard. I just need some time. I thought you were dead for five years." “Alright, I will give you all the time you need," Richard said. He left the room. Ivy felt a sigh of relief and got ready for bed.

At Cynthia/Phillip—Cynthia was in the living room wearing her robe. It was late, and she was upset about her phone call with Monica. She knew that Jill wasn't to be trusted. When Cynthia picked up the phone and called Frida, she said, “Frida, I know it's late. Please call me back. It's Jill trying to push us out of the company.” She hung up as Phillip came in wearing his robe. “Cynthia, it's late. What's going on?” Phillip asked. “It's work. I'm sorry I woke you,” she replied. “It's okay. We need to talk. Why don't I pour us a drink?” Phillip asked. “Sure,” Cynthia said. Phillip poured them each a drink and handed one to Cynthia. “We need to talk about Chanel and this pregnancy. I can't believe we're going to be grandparents. I never want our daughter to get hurt. You blame me, don't you?” Cynthia asked. “If you and Chanel never had that fight and she didn't go to Paris for work, she wouldn't be hurt! But now we have to deal with it!” Phillip yelled. “Do you have some kind of plan?” Cynthia asked. “Yes. We'll raise this baby as ours. Chanel is too young to raise it,” he replied. “Do you really think Chanel wants to give up her baby to us? We can talk to her. It's for the best.” “Phillip, this is crazy. I don't know,” she said. “You don't want this? I never really wanted to be a mother, you know that!” Cynthia yelled. 

Upstairs, Vivienne sat there listening to their fight, recalling her childhood and feeling hurt by their arguments. “Thanks, Mother. We feel the same way about you,” Vivienne said to herself.

At Monica’s house — Monica was working on some fashion designs; she wanted to get ahead of all the fashion competitions happening. There was a knock on the door, and she went to answer it. It was Jill.

“Jill. Why are you here? You’re the competition.”

“I’ve been thinking about what’s best for my company. I want you to join me.”

“What about Frida? Does she agree with this?”

“This is my decision. I'm running this company.”

“Are you pushing out Frida and Cynthia? Do you know who you’re up against?”

“I can handle it. So, what do you say? You’ll have your own designer line and 50% of the company.”

“I’ll let you know my decision in the morning.”

“Alright, I look forward to it.” Jill said and left as Monica picked up her cellphone.

“We need to talk about your business partner,” Monica said.

At Ivy’s house with Richard — Richard was reflecting on the last few years in Paris when Ivy came in.

“Where did you go? I need a drink and a friend. Richard, I'm not really ready to just move on from everything that happened—faking your death—I'm going to need some time.”

“I understand that. Was there anyone you were seeing while I was gone?” Richard asked.

“No, I was busy with Creations.”

“How is it going? I saw the press conference with Frida.”

“Yes, she wants to open her own fashion business.”

“We can't have that.”

“Richard, I know your secret too! You used my company to land money.”

“It wasn't hard—I’ve been doing that for years,” Richard said.

At Essentially - Cynthia and Frida were talking. "Cynthia, we haven't talked much about what happened with Chanell. Are you handling it okay?" Frida asked. “Not really, my daughter was raped and is pregnant. She's going to ruin her life. She's too young to be a mother," Cynthia replied. "Chanel will have the support she needs; we will be there for her," Frida said. "Yes, we will. Do you forgive Daddy for faking his death?" Cynthia asked. “I'm going to try. I want a better relationship with him, like you," Frida responded. "Daddy and I have our bumps too," she added. "Yes, I wish you could have told us that our father was alive," Frida said.

At Ruth's bar-Ivy was having a drink and talking to Ruth. "Do you still love Richard?" Ruth asked. “Yes, I mourned for him for five years, and he was alive the whole time. I have a feeling Richard is hiding something else. I'm going to find out," Ivy replied. "How?" Ruth asked. "Oh, I have my ways. Thank you, Ruth, for listening to me. You've always been a great friend to me," Ivy said. "Always," Ruth answered. Ivy paid the bill then left.

At Jill's—Jill was at home when there was a knock on the door. It was Diane. "Jill, why did you call me?" Diane asked. “I need to do some digging into Richard Cane. Why did he fake his death?" Jill asked. “Why?" Diane questioned. "I need to have the company to myself. I need to get rid of Cynthia and Frida," Jill said. "Why do you want to hire me?" Diane asked. "Because you are a great reporter, and I know you have issues with Cynthia," Jill replied. "Yes, I do. She treats my brother horribly," Diane responded. "Alright, I will look into it," Diane said.

At Lavish Chateau, Phillip was in his office, needing time to process the fact that his daughter was raped and became pregnant. He hated that she ran to Paris for her career and to escape Cynthia, whom he blamed. Chanell came in and said, “Daddy, can we talk? You haven't said much about my news. I know it's a lot.” “Yes, it is. Are you sure about going through with this pregnancy?” Phillip asked. “Yes, I am. It’s not the baby’s fault what happened to me.” “No, it's not. I wish you had never left and gone to Paris.” “It's not Paris's fault that this happened to me; it just happened. It’s not Mother’s fault either. I don't understand why you both married each other if neither of you can stand being around each other,” Chanel asked. “Before my father died, he borrowed money from Richard, who said my father didn't have to pay him back. He promised to come back with a request later, but that never happened. My father died, your grandfather. Richard came to collect, and he didn't like that I was dating Frida. He wanted me to marry Cynthia.” “So, you paid off your father's debt by marrying your mother?” Chanel asked. “Yes.” “But why? What was the reason?” “Who knows? Richard loves to play God! Do you think I want to name your brother RJ?” Phillip yelled. “Well, Daddy, why are you still with mother? Don’t you deserve to be happy?” Chanel asked.

At Essentially Office - Frida and Cynthia sat at their separate desks. "We have a lot to do. We need to get this company up and running," Frida said. "Yes, we will, but can we really trust Genevieve and Jill? You know they have a past with me." "Cynthia, I love you, but you have a past with everyone in this town." "Yes, I know I have my issues, but why did Jill and Genevieve agree to do business with you? You don't need them; you have me," Cynthia replied. “They came to me to help me run this business against you." "See, why don't we just run it together? Just us Crane women. We will go up against Mother," Cynthia suggested. “How do we get Jill and Genevieve out of this?" Frida asked. "Oh, everybody has something to hide," Cynthia said.

At Jill's—Jill was home, thinking about destroying Cynthia. She was always jealous of her and wanted everything she had. She picked up a picture of Cynthia. "Taking over the business is just the beginning of my revenge against you!" Jill said as she ripped the picture.

Ruth was working at her bar, hoping to retire someday. Running a bar was getting to her, but it helped support her raising her daughters, who wanted a luxury lifestyle. As Ivy came in, they were oddly best friends. "Ruth, I need a drink, anything strong, and my best friend," Ivy said. She liked talking to Ruth; she kept her ground and gave her great advice. "It's about Richard." “Yes, I know I should be happy that my husband is alive, but he stays away so long I feel betrayed by him and Cynthia," Ivy said.
