Victoria arrived home and rambled that Johnny was at the ranch, and she had a million work emails to answer. She was shocked when Billy presented her with a bouquet of red roses, and he explained that it was his attempt to be less of a jerk. Victoria gushed that the flowers were beautiful, and Billy recalled that Victoria had saved him on a prior New Year's Eve. He said that he'd gotten lost, but she had saved him again, and it hadn't been okay for him to shut her out.
Victoria understood that Billy had been hurting, but he pointed out that he'd hurt her, and he vowed not to do it anymore. He promised that they would heal and get past Delia's death because they were still a couple and a family with a life together. Billy said that he loved Victoria, and they kissed and held one another. She grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the stairs, but her phone rang, and she remembered that she'd asked Nikki to call before Johnny's nap. Billy told her to take the call, and he went upstairs to wait for her. Later, Victoria joined Billy in the shower.
At Crimson Lights, Abby and Tyler told Ashley about their trip to Los Angeles, and Abby mentioned that the only glitch had been when she'd reverted to being a drama queen, but Tyler had handled it like a champ. Tyler swore that he could take whatever Abby dished out, and Ashley noted that the couple seemed stronger than ever. Ashley asked what Tyler's intentions were toward her daughter, and Tyler said that Abby knew how he felt, but he thought that Ashley deserved to know, too. Tyler recounted that he'd made a name for himself on the west coast, but the fame and fortune hadn't been enough for him to get over his horrible childhood.
Tyler admitted that he'd been really angry for a long time, and he'd eventually reached out to his sister, who had been his only constant, but he'd found a new home with Abby. Tyler kissed Abby's hand, and Ashley said that she was glad they'd found one another. Stitch arrived, and Abby asked if he remembered her mom. Stitch wondered if Ashley was back in town permanently, and she revealed that she was on her way back out, but she promised to return if she broke something. Stitch flirtatiously said that he would keep his schedule open, and he wished Ashley a safe trip.
Kelly approached Stitch and coldly remarked that he had an interesting bedside manner, and she assumed that he and his wife were over. He refused to talk about it, and she snapped that they had no business talking about Stitch's wife or anything else. Stitch reminded her that they were bound to run into one another since they lived in the same town, and he suggested that they keep it simple and not talk. Kelly agreed.
Tyler said that he was sorry to see Ashley take off, and Abby added that she was happy that Ashley had been in town. Abby said that she loved having her mother there, and Ashley mentioned that she had to make a quick stop on her way to the airport. Ashley promised that she'd back more often, and Tyler comforted Abby after Ashley left.
Victoria greeted Stitch, and he observed that she seemed happier than the last time he'd seen her. She divulged that Billy had realized that she and Johnny were there for him. Kelly spotted Victoria and quickly grabbed her things, but Victoria approached her and asked how Kelly's New Year's Eve had been. Kelly flashed back to getting passionate with Billy, but she managed to stammer that the holiday had been uneventful. Victoria expressed her gratitude toward Kelly for helping Billy with his grief, and Kelly forced a smile.
In the park, Abby praised Tyler for brilliantly handling Ashley's questions, but Tyler replied that he'd simply told the truth. Abby asked if he'd meant all the pretty things he'd said about making Genoa City his home, and he confirmed that he hadn't stuck around just because of Leslie. He wondered if Abby was going to pick a fight and take off, and she jokingly questioned who would ever do that. He wanted to talk about where they were headed in the future, but she reminded him of their "one day at a time" philosophy. He said that it had been their thing, but maybe it was time for something new.
Tyler reasoned that he and Abby had been spending time and money going back and forth to opposite sides of town to see one another when they could be spending that time together. He suggested that they get their own place, although he was fine with keeping things the way they had been. Abby asked what he wanted, and he replied that he didn't want to wonder when he'd see her next, and he preferred to know that he'd be going home to her. He left the choice up to her, and she exclaimed, "Let's call the movers!" They headed out as they excitedly discussed their plans. The woman with the tattooed wrist watched them and clenched her fist.
Ashley stopped by to see Billy, and she thought that he seemed a little better. He said that things were a little less brutal every day, thanks to Victoria. He revealed that he'd hit rock bottom, and he'd realized that he couldn't keep drowning in his own grief and dragging his family down. He continued that he'd needed to reach out and grab on, and Victoria had been there, just like she had been when she'd driven him home from Jimmy's. Billy declared that he was back and that he would hold on, because life without Victoria, Johnny, and the rest of his family wasn't a life he wanted to live. Ashley smiled and hugged him.
Victoria returned home, and Ashley promised Victoria and Billy that she would be back soon. Ashley wished them a wonderful new year, and Victoria pledged that it would be. They said goodbye, and after Ashley left, Billy asked what was in the bag from Crimson Lights. Victoria remarked that he'd never guess who she'd seen there, and Billy said that it could have been half the town. Victoria chirped that she'd bumped into Kelly, who she'd invited to dinner.
At the Athletic Club, Victor stared at the list of possible drivers who had hit Delia. Adam walked in, and Victor remarked that Adam hadn't returned his call. Victor warned that it had been a mistake for Adam to ignore Victor's message, but Adam doubted that Victor had been calling to wish him a happy new year. Victor said that a new year was a new beginning, but some people had a difficult time forgetting the past. Victor questioned whether Adam had forgotten what had happened during the prior year.
Adam replied that he'd become a father, which had been the single greatest thing that had ever happened to him, and he'd walked away from his own. He declared that he was only interested in the future, and Avery joined them. Victor asked if Adam was in legal trouble, but Adam announced that he was meeting with his attorney to make sure that Victor had no legal rights to Connor. Victor doubted that Adam could focus on the future when it seemed as if everything Adam did revolved around Victor.
Adam proclaimed that he would do anything necessary to ensure that Victor would never be responsible for Connor, and he reiterated that Connor was off-limits to Victor. Victor vowed to fight for the right to see his grandson, and Adam contemplated how many times Victor had disowned Adam. Adam asserted that he was just repaying the favor, and he demanded that Victor accept the fact that Adam was in control. Victor chided Adam for keeping a child away from its family, but Adam contended that Connor had what he needed with a mother and a father, while Victor had everything he wanted in Newman-Chancellor.
Victor swore not to walk away from a child who needed protection, especially after what had happened to Delia. Adam spat that Victor had kept Delia from her own father when she'd been sick, and he suggested that Victor find another child to control. Victor refused to give up the right to protect his grandson, and he barked that Adam would regret turning his back on the only parent he had left. Adam retorted that he wished he'd cut Victor loose a long time before, and there was no room in Connor's life for Victor.
Once they were alone, Adam told Avery that Jack had agreed to be Connor's godfather, and he wanted Jack to become Connor's guardian if Adam were out of the picture. Avery explained that Chelsea would retain custody, and she didn't want to play games behind Chelsea's back. Adam swore that Chelsea was and always would be the most important thing in Connor's life, and Avery noted that it sounded like Adam was in a good place. Adam said that he anticipated a lifetime of familial bliss, but things could happen, and he wanted to make sure Connor was cared for by someone other than Victor. Adam stressed that he didn't want to give Victor even a sliver of opportunity to influence Connor, and he insisted that the paperwork that legalized Jack's role as Connor's guardian be "Victor-proof."
Avery explained that a grandparent's rights were limited, but Adam warned that Victor would fight to gain control of Connor. Avery asked if Chelsea was on board with the plan, and Adam was certain that Chelsea would approve. Avery advised that it was important for Adam and Chelsea to be in agreement, and he said that he would discuss it with Chelsea when he got home. Avery remarked that she was glad that their meeting had been about contingencies, because she'd expected it to be about the video. Adam said that everything had changed, and he would take the video back from her.
Later, at Crimson Lights, Avery wished Stitch a happy new year, and they compared notes about how they'd both spent the holiday working. Stitch thought that things had to be rough for Dylan, who was looking for information about his father, and Avery received a call from Dylan. Stitch took off, and Avery asked Dylan what he'd found out. Dylan reported that northern Idaho was cold, and he'd figured out that when he was away from her, he missed her a lot.
Dylan explained that no one wanted to talk about a black sheep with a stranger, and Avery sympathized that he hadn't found what he was looking for. He said that there was one person who was willing to talk, and they were going to meet the next day. Avery asserted that no one else's mistakes could taint the person who Dylan was. After a moment of silence, he thanked her, and he said he'd call her the next day.
At the penthouse, Chelsea looked at the wedding rings. Anita stopped by to wish Chelsea a belated merry Christmas, and Chelsea asked how Anita's trip to Florida had been. Anita said that she'd gone on a shopping spree for Chelsea and the baby, but Chelsea mentioned that Connor was out with the nanny. Anita questioned how Connor's eyes were, and Chelsea reported that Connor could see everything perfectly. Anita noted that Chelsea seemed happy and content, and she was glad to see Chelsea smiling. Anita freaked out when she spotted the wedding rings.
Anita suspected that Adam had been carrying a torch for Chelsea all along, and she asked if Adam had mentioned making it legal again. Chelsea replied that he had, but then he'd brushed it off, and she pointed out that just because she and Adam shared a son and a home didn't mean that Adam wanted to marry her. Anita contended that wanting a family and a marriage were the same thing, but Chelsea said that both she and Adam just wanted to put their son first. Anita wondered if Chelsea was ready to put the ring back on her finger and make things right.
Anita thought that Adam and Chelsea were due for a reunion, and Chelsea expected Anita to drool over Adam's bank account. Anita said that she believed in love, fun, and financial security, but it was easier to put her faith in money rather than love. Anita said that she'd never had real love, but she'd seen how Adam looked at Chelsea, and it was the real thing. Chelsea realized that despite being a grifter, Anita was really a romantic at heart. Anita said that Adam and Chelsea had done a number on one another, but she implored Chelsea to figure things out. Anita said that she had to get to a beauty appointment, and she advised Chelsea to get a bigger ring if Adam popped the question.
Adam returned home and called out for Chelsea, who ran downstairs and said that they needed to talk. He replied that he'd been thinking the same thing, and she babbled that she knew that he'd kept their wedding rings in his drawer, but she was confused after he'd blown off their discussion about marriage and the future. She wanted to know if there was something real between them, and he assured her that they had something very real.
Chelsea asked if Adam had meant it when he'd mentioned getting married again, and Adam questioned what she would have said if he'd seriously proposed. She said that her answer would have been yes, and he admitted that he had been serious. She grinned broadly, and she repeatedly said yes and rushed into his arms. They kissed.
At the police station, Kevin watched an officer escort a man into the interrogation room, and he asked Alex if the man was the witness to Delia's accident. Alex reminded Kevin that the potential witness wasn't an upstanding citizen, and he handed Kevin an extensive file on the guy. Kevin argued that it didn't mean that the witness hadn't seen something, but Alex advised him not to get his hopes up again. Kevin marveled that they might finally be able to identify Delia's killer.
Alex went into the interrogation room, and he intentionally left the door ajar so Kevin could overhear. Alex said that he'd heard that the witness wanted to make a deal, and he admonished the man for withholding information when the whole town had been heartbroken over Delia's death. He demanded to know what the witness wanted, and the man replied that he wanted to walk away from armed robbery charges. Alex mentioned that the crime had been the man's third felony, so he couldn't make it disappear, but he could go to the D.A. to try to negotiate lesser charges.
Alex berated the witness for dancing on a young girl's grave by demanding a free pass. Alex threatened to throw him back in a cell if the man didn't tell him everything, but the witness said nothing, and Alex started to leave. The man blurted out that he'd seen it all, and Alex mentioned that the man lived a mile from the accident site. The witness claimed that he'd seen the car leaving and the driver who had killed Delia.
The potential witness left the station, and a panicked Kevin asked where the guy was going. Alex explained that the man wouldn't talk unless they could make a deal with the D.A., and Kevin implored Alex to talk to Christine right away. Alex reiterated that they had to do things by the book, but if they made a deal, then the witness could lead them to Delia's killer.
The investigator handed Victor a file that contained information about the whereabouts of all of the suspected drivers on the night of Delia's death, and he had ruled out all of the drivers except two -- Adam and one other person. Victor asked if the investigator had researched Adam's appointment with Connor's eye specialist, and the investigator reported that he'd logged Adam's entry into and exit from the parking garage. The investigator noted that if Adam had gone home afterward, then the accident site had been out of the way. Victor theorized that if Adam had received bad news, then Adam might have driven around to clear his head. The investigator noted that it was possible that Adam had been at the accident site.
Victor pointed out that there was no definitive proof that Adam had driven the car that had hit Delia. The investigator revealed that the other possible driver had been laid up with a broken leg, but Victor contended that someone else could have borrowed the car. The investigator showed Victor evidence that Adam had purchased a replacement turn light from an auto supply store. Victor noted that the order was placed under a corporate name, but the charge had been made using Adam's credit card. Victor reeled from the implication that Adam had killed Delia.
