At the Athletic Club, Chelsea and Billy were at the bar. Chelsea said that she would need to cancel her plans with Billy because Connor's therapist had scheduled a meeting to discuss Connor's treatment. Billy suggested that Chelsea ask the therapist when she would be able to talk to her son. Chelsea said that she was worried about the call because she wouldn't be doing it alone. Adam approached and asked if Chelsea was ready to hear what the "so-called doctors" had to say.

Billy told Adam that the doctors taking care of Connor were respected and accredited doctors. Chelsea agreed with Billy, but Adam insisted that the doctors didn't know Connor. Billy left to go back to the office. Chelsea said that Adam had to promise to "drop the attitude" before the call.

Adam and Chelsea went to Adam's apartment. Chelsea said that she was nervous about the call, and she reminded Adam that he had promised "to hear the doctor out." Adam dialed in to the video chat. Chelsea asked the doctor why no other doctors were joining her on the call. The doctor replied that she had been "working in tandem" with Connor's OCD and trauma therapists. Adam asked why Connor would need a trauma therapist.

Dr. Hammond said that Connor was doing well with activities and diet. Adam pushed the doctor to tell them more about "Connor's trauma." Dr. Hammond told Adam and Chelsea that it appeared that Connor had two medical conditions at the same time -- OCD and trauma. The doctor continued, saying Connor's OCD might have been a response to a traumatic incident. Chelsea and Adam were clearly confused, and Adam asked what "instances" the doctor was referring to. Dr. Hammond said that Connor "carries an overwhelming sense of guilt" that things that had happened between Adam and Chelsea were Connor's fault. Connor was questioning why he had even been born.

Adam asked the doctor if her team believed that Adam and Chelsea had caused all of Connor's trauma. The doctor said no. Chelsea asked what trauma the doctor was even talking about. Dr. Hammond said that she wasn't sure yet, but the team needed to address both of Connor's issues. The doctor advised Chelsea and Adam to stop trying to "find blame." Chelsea and Adam asked what they could do for Connor. As Dr. Hammond updated Adam and Chelsea, Connor sat outside on a bench, journaling.

Dr. Hammond asked Chelsea and Adam to "trust the process" because it had been successful for other people before. Adam inquired how Connor was supposed to get through processing the trauma without his parents "by his side."

Chelsea and Adam looked defeated after ending the video conference with the doctor. Adam continued to question the doctors' competence. As her eyes grew teary, Chelsea asked if Connor's condition was all her fault. Adam insisted that the "OCD was inside of [Connor], and it was going to come out at some point," regardless of Chelsea's issues. Chelsea continued to cry and blamed herself. Adam started to blame himself, reminding Chelsea that Connor had thought Adam had been dead. Chelsea said, "It started with me!" Adam and Chelsea agreed that after all Connor had been through in his young life, it was "no wonder he's so traumatized."

Chelsea told Adam that there was nothing for them to do for Connor yet. Adam asked, "What if this treatment leads him to hate us?" Chelsea said that wouldn't happen, and even if it did, they would work through it. Adam asked what they would do if Connor always blamed them for everything. Chelsea, growing angry, asked Adam if he was wanting Connor to "push everything down." Chelsea said that she and Adam could not make Connor's issues about themselves.

At the facility, Connor clicked his pen and counted.

Chelsea declared to Adam that their son would be coming home to them. Adam asked what would happen if Connor grew up and said that he wanted nothing to do with his parents. Chelsea told Adam that he was being irrational.

Outside Society, Phyllis was on the phone with Summer, urging Summer to calm down. Phyllis asked Summer if she had told Daniel about Harrison's disappearance. Phyllis said that she wouldn't tell Daniel or do "something crazy." Through the window, Phyllis watched as Danny and Daniel grabbed a table for lunch.

Danny told Daniel that the concert schedule had been pushed out as Danny waited for Christine to decide if she was going to go on the tour. Phyllis approached and said that "Cricket is waffling yet again." Phyllis invited herself to sit down and taunted Danny about "the bug" backing out. Daniel said that Phyllis did not know the whole story and that Christine was deciding whether she needed to take a case. Phyllis said that she would bet "an order of empanadas" that Christine would choose her career over Danny.

Changing the subject, Danny said that he "still can't believe" that Lily had fired Daniel. Phyllis agreed that the decision didn't seem like something Lily would do. Phyllis sarcastically said that they should ask Christine what she thought. Danny rolled his eyes and checked his phone. Phyllis asked if "the queen bug" was summoning Danny. Danny left. Daniel reminded Phyllis that she had said that she had accepted that Danny and Christine were together.

Phyllis said that she had moved on but that Christine would hurt Danny. Phyllis told Daniel that she had had a lot going on. Daniel said that he was sorry if Phyllis' job was "at risk" at Chancellor-Winters because of what had happened between Daniel and Lily.

At the Athletic Club, Danny approached Christine at the bar. Danny gave Christine a concert T-shirt for her to wear to his shows. Danny begged Christine to attend the tour and said that he would serenade her every night. Christine told Danny that he made her "feel adored," but she could not walk away from the client who needed her. Danny expressed his disappointment and said that Christine's client was lucky to have her.

At Chancellor-Winters, Lily told Nate and Devon that Daniel was going to sue the company to maintain control of the games under OmegaSphere. Lily said that the legal team had said that the contract was ironclad, but she guessed that Daniel's attorney -- Heather -- would try to find a "loophole." Nate asked Lily if there was any chance the situation would stay out of the news. Nate suggested it might not be "worth really going to war" with Daniel.

Lily asked Nate why he would think fighting the lawsuit wasn't worth it. Nate responded that Daniel had built the "flagship game," and Daniel had already lost his job. Lily said that she had not punished Daniel but had fired him for the sake of "company unity and morale." Nate said that he was not defending Daniel, but Lily needed to think about how things could play out if it looked like she had fired Daniel for breaking up with her. Billy walked in and agreed that the situation caused Lily to "look petty." Lily scoffed at their concern and asked how she had "become the bad guy."

Billy said that he had a "professional concern, not personal judgment" about the situation. Nate concurred and asked if it "would be so terrible" to let Daniel have back what he had "brought to the table." Lilly argued that Daniel had contributed an idea and artwork, while Chancellor-Winters had provided a team of coders and designers, office space, and funds. Nate said that OmegaSphere would be just fine without Daniel's game. Lily, growing exasperated, said that that was not true because there were no other games being developed. Billy said that losing business might still be better than allowing the media to paint Lily as "scorned and vindictive." Lily angrily asked Devon to chime in.

Devon reluctantly agreed with Lily. Billy asked if Devon would have still agreed with Lily if Billy hadn't been the one "arguing the point." Devon asked if Billy was "implying" that Devon's business choices were based on contradicting Billy. Billy grew increasingly exasperated and said that he was angry because the Winters family shouldn't have been discussing such an important matter without him. Nate suggested that everyone work together to make a decision going forward. Lily said that they needed to go to the board and let them decide whether to give in to Daniel's demands.

Devon and Nate expressed that they were unsure taking the situation to the board was the best idea. Billy said that he agreed with Lily about taking it to the board. Billy left, and Nate apologized for allowing Billy to overhear their conversation. After Nate left, Lily asked Devon to "be honest" and tell her if he would have sided with her if Billy hadn't been there.

Devon affirmed that he would have taken Lily's side regardless. Devon said that Lily, Billy, and Nate all had valid points. Devon said that they needed to stop things from "getting ugly." Lily said that they were past that point. Devon replied that Daniel had a case because Lily had fired Daniel "without cause." Lily said that there had been plenty of cause. Lily claimed that she had been "gracious" about the situation, and she was "tired of playing nice."

At the coffeehouse, Billy asked Chelsea if she wanted to talk about the meeting with the doctor. Chelsea recounted that Connor had been given two diagnoses. Chelsea said that Adam was afraid Connor would resent his parents for putting him in treatment. Chelsea asked what would happen if Connor decided he was better off without his parents.

Nate and Chance entered Society, and Phyllis assumed they knew about Daniel's lawsuit. Daniel said that they "should be worried about the lawsuit" because Heather had said that the case was solid. Phyllis advised her son to "go after everything" he could get. Phyllis told Daniel that she had other "inside information" about issues at Chancellor-Winters, and he was lucky to have gotten out when he had. Phyllis wondered what Nate and Chance were talking about, and Daniel sarcastically suggested they get a little closer to eavesdrop.

Phyllis asked why Daniel would care if Phyllis exploited a conflict at Chancellor-Winters. Daniel said that he didn't understand why Phyllis would want to be "entangled in an already contentious situation." Phyllis stood and strutted over to Nate and Chance. Phyllis told Nate and Chance that she was shocked that Daniel and Heather had been fired. Nate said that it wasn't Phyllis' business what they thought. Chance said that it was "above [his] paygrade." Phyllis replied that she would ask Billy what he thought about the situation.

At his apartment, Adam called Sharon and asked her to help him before he made "things worse."
