At Society, Abby sits down with Billy and complains that she just learned from her mother that she checked herself into a mental health clinic in France for her DID.
Billy didn’t know about the hospital until Jack told him from the plane on his way to visit her. “I am her daughter!” Abby exclaims.
She had no idea she was struggling and should have been there for her.
She’s leaving for Paris as soon as possible and admits she’s infuriated that her family, including Billy, for keeping it from her.
He admits they chose to keep it from her.
She says there’s always a convenient excuse why the Abbotts and the Newmans never tell her anything.
It’d be fair for them to treat her like the adult she is, instead of a fragile child.
She could have gotten her mom help sooner.
How terrified she must have been. Billy placates her.
With a gasp, she realizes Tucker warned her but she ignored him.
Billy tells her that Tucker showed up at the house one night and tried to insert himself into the situation.
It was the first time they’d learned Ashley referred to herself in third person.
She fought them when they tried to get her help.
Abby starts to think about how destructive and dismissive she’s been with her and how flirtatious she was with Alan.
It was out of character. Billy says he too had some exchanges with her that he questioned.
He tells her about Traci trying to take her to therapy and how it didn’t work.
Abby thinks she could have forced it.

Abby calls it a big moment. They embrace and she wishes him luck.
At the Tack House, Claire tells her mother she stocked the fridge with snacks for her siblings and flowers for their rooms.
She asked the cook at the main house what they liked.
Victoria reminds her kid she’s not their nanny.
Claire just wants to be prepared and to ensure they feel welcomed.
She tidies the house and worries.
Victoria promises they’ll adore her.
Claire says she bought the siblings gifts and runs to wrap the earbuds and a charm. Cole arrives.
Victoria’s thrilled to see him and relays their daughter’s concerns of feeling like an interloper.
Victoria admits it’s made her a little concerned. Cole talks her down, to which she’s grateful for.
He leaves and Billy turns up with the kids in tow. Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie (Sienna Mercuri) razz each other about how little or how much they packed when they walk into the house.
Johnny thinks Claire looks taller and then blurts out with a question about what it’s like in the mental hospital.
His parents chastize him but Claire wants to tell them. She says the food stinks and didn’t like spending most of her time in one room but found the doctors “great” and says they helped her.
Johnny wants to know what it’s like being raised by a crazy woman.
Claire explains Jordan wanted her to help seek revenge but she was a kid and didn’t understand.
She thought it was a game. “Sounds fun,” Johnny declares.
Claire says that the doctors helped her realize her childhood wasn’t normal.
Victoria chimes in that she wasn’t responsible for her aunt’s actions.
She looks forward to being with normal people. Johnny isn’t sure how normal they are.
Katie ignores Claire and wants to go unpack in her room. Victoria hopes she likes it.
They redecorated Aria’s room for her. Katie’s angry that Claire’s crazy aunt burned their house down and she can’t believe they have to live there now.
Claire’s sorry and understands how that might make her feel.
Katie snaps, “How could you understand? You don’t even know me.”
She runs to her room and Johnny tells his mom she’d have punished him if he did that.
Claire says they knew this wasn’t going to be easy for any of them.
At Crimson Lights, Daniel and Heather prepare for their fight in court.
He’s on edge but Heather says he has justice on his side. They’re in the right.
He has doubts and doesn’t feel good about any of this.
She talks lawyer talk at him but it doesn’t help his mood. He cheated on her and worries it’s coming up.
Heather says she’ll deal with it. She believes in him. He hates that it’s come to this.
She says there’s no turning back now. He wonders if there is.
She thinks cold feet is normal and vows to make it as painless as possible.
He thought getting the game back would be satisfying but Princess Louisa is tainted for him by being a pawn in the battle.
Heather asks what they should do. He thinks moving on is best.
