Upon the break of dawn, Molly was stirred from her slumber by a buzz alerting her to a lengthy text message from Chad. After reading it, her heart soared, and became bright and clear as the sunny skies outside her window.

Chad apologized for his recent distance, due to the heavy responsibilities that came with his new position. He assured her she was always his number one. He promised her a cross-country road trip to any destination of her choosing once his work had settled down. His affirmation, "I've been neglecting you," tugged at her heartstrings. It made her feel loved, cherished even, in a special way.

Meanwhile, Chad had practically taken up residence at the police station since his discharge from the hospital. In the morning, the Calder Corporation submitted evidence of previous fraudulent activities by the Marshal Group. In the afternoon, Jillian made her first appearance in days.

She was taken aback by her father Brian's completely gray hair. "Dad, how did this happen?" she asked.

After being detained for so long, Brian seemed to have sobered up. He asked his daughter, "Did you get it?"

Jillian knew he was referring to the ten million dollars. She nodded tearfully.

"Leave the country and don't come back," Brian advised, relieved. His final act of fatherly love was to bear the brunt of all the charges, ensuring Jillian could get away with the money.

She felt utterly helpless as she watched her father being taken away. It was presumably for her to see him for the last time.

She had gone to the Cedillo Inc. to plead with Andre to save her father, but she wasn't even allowed past the front door. She then turned to the Cedillo family, hoping that Hansen would help. Hansen agreed to meet her out of respect for her love to her father. Meanwhile, Naomi took Mia out to hang around.

Mia was puzzled, "Naomi, are you guys doing something behind my back?"

Hansen told Jillian, "Ask your father to tell me who instructed him to trick me with a fake body back then, and I'll save his life."
