At Crimson Lights, Sharon tells Nick that Rey is going to Chicago with Chelsea and Connor. She explains the circumstances that led to them all going together. Nick hopes she doesn’t feel jealous or threatened — going to a hockey game to a kid is the opposite of romantic. Sharon trusts Rey, but Chelsea, not so much. She’s noticed a change in her but they’re spending the night. It’s hard not to instinctively jump to conclusions when it comes to her.

Near the car wreck, Ashland carries Victoria into a cabin and rants that she’ll survive a little smoke inhalation, which is nothing compared to what he did to her. He grimaces over his burnt hand and then pleads with Victoria to wake up. She does, coughs, and then screams, “Get away from me!”
At the hotel, Adam wishes someone would call and let him know what’s going on. He’s not convinced that he will be updated. Sally reminds him Victor just called him. Adam complains he’s only a priority when his father thinks he can be useful. Sally clucks that Victor’s constantly ushering her out of the office to talk about Newman family stuff with him. Adam just wants to hear a good word letting him know Victoria’s fine. Sally realizes he’s really concerned about her. Adam gawps, “Of course I am!” He wonders if Sally thinks he’d be glad she was in harm’s way because of the company. “Is that what you think of me?”
In the cabin, Victoria complains that Ashland is supposed to be gone. He explains to her that she was in a car crash and says he’s going to try and find her phone or get help. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He heads out, limping, while inside the cabin, Victoria grimaces while trying to move.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon tells Chelsea that Nick told her that Victoria may have been in an accident. Perhaps that’s where Rey is.
In the cabin, Ashland tells Victoria he’s just shaking up. Victoria asks if he ran her off the road. He didn’t do that, but confesses that when she left the office, he followed her. That’s why he was there when his car crashed. He was worried about her. The thought of anything happening to her terrified him. Ashland gets that she despises him, but he loves her and cares about her.
At the hotel, Sally is hurt that Adam would think poorly of him. She doesn’t automatically assume the worst about him — they’ve established that. “Do you know how deeply you just hurt me?” Adam does. He admits he’s been questioning if he’s genuinely concerned about Victoria, or if something were to happen to his sister would be he glad for the leg up at Newman-Locke?
In the cabin, Ashland argues with Victoria to stay still until they can get her help. He asks her what happened. She remembers that there was another car — there were lights coming toward her. They weren’t Ashland’s because he was behind her. “There was another car involved!” she exclaims.

In the hotel, Adam hates that he’d even consider for a second the business ramifications if Victoria were seriously injured. Sally thinks the fact that he hates it is encouraging.

Sally argues that he’s not cold and selfish. “I know it in my heart because… I wouldn’t be falling in love with someone like that.” Adam asks, “Are you saying you’re falling in love with me?”
At Society, Victor grouses about the incompetence of his team. He gets a call, turns emotional, and tells Nikki and Nick that there’s a report of an accident. Nikki gasps.
In the cabin, Ashland recalls that the last time this happened he turned and ran. He couldn’t do that again — he had to save Victoria. She wonders what happened to the other car. Was it a hit and run or might they be injured? “Did you see who was in the car? Are they still out there?” Ashland stops her as she tries to get up. She orders him to stop trying to protect her from lying and just answer the question. She needs to know what happened. “Is the other driver okay?”
In Crimson Lights, Connor wonders what happened to Rey and worries about missing the game. Chelsea thinks he must have got caught up in some last minute police work. She’s sure that even if they miss the game, he’ll make it up to Connor. That’s just the kind of man Rey is.
