She thinks it’s from Stark.
Jack tries to comfort her.
She doesn’t want Jack to do anything against Stark.
Stark finds Chance at Crimson Lights. They talk about his release.
Stark thinks Chance was duped just as much as he was. He says isn’t Jack his wife’s uncle?
He shouldn’t be playing so dirty. He taunts that the Newmans aren’t related to him anymore.
Chance tells him his personal life is none of his concern. If he has an issue with his case, he should talk to Chicago PD.
Stark shrugs and says he’s released so he’s good. He thinks Chance is stressed.
“You don’t know me,” Chance says. Stark checked up on him. He assumes he was livid to learn Jack used him.
Chance thinks Stark’s only there to cause trouble and warns it’d be a bad idea.

Daniel finds Heather and Lucy in the lobby of Grand Phoenix, and they talk about how they’re headed back home.
Heather’s proud of what he’s accomplishing. He thanks her and wishes the best for her.
She feels the same. Heather takes off and the kid is happy her dad’s wearing the bracelet. He loves it. She feels better that they had their talk.
He wants to keep that going. Maybe they can see each other. There or here.
She likes that. He’s determined to earn her trust back.
She wants to beta-test his new game. He’s into that. They embrace and Heather watches from nearby.
The ladies leave and Phyllis arrives. She saw the women leaving and tries to comfort her son.
She knows what it’s like to be apart from her kids. She knows they’ll come around. The bond is strong.
It can withstand anything. Daniel drinks and thinks she’s talking about her. “As usual.”
She claims not to be but he thinks she’s self-centered.
He storms off while Stark appears. He feels for Phyllis. It’s rough being attacked from all sides.
She tells the man she’s not at her breaking point and she doesn’t need him. If she needs to get something done, she can do it herself.
Still, Stark wants to help. She tells him once again to keep his schemes to himself.
“I’m not interested.” He says, “Right. You keep telling yourself that.” He walks off.

Elena encourages him to go next door to talk to the man himself but he senses a showdown between her and Devon.
Nate feels responsible for the breakdown of Devon and Lily’s relationship. He tells her he saw Christine leaving Devon’s earlier. He wants to help diffuse the situation. Elena doesn’t like it. He should mind his business. He can’t sit by and watch, he tells her. “Trust me,” he says before leaving.
Abby arrives at Devon’s. Dom’s with Louise and so she thought they could go dine. He’s so busy with work.
It’s a priority. She knows but he hasn’t eaten or slept well lately.
He talks about his concerns about his company and relationship with Lily. Abby says this is eating him alive.
He knows but he’s fighting for family. He thanks her for being there for him.
They’re close to kissing when she has to go. He promises to take care of himself. He kisses her hand as she tells him she cares for him.
Elena spots Abby leaving Devon’s and asks to talk.
They head inside and discuss ways to get the cousins back together.
