Erica raced to his side and insisted they do damage control. Erica told Caleb to deal with Asher and she’d handle the media. Just then, she got a call from the FCC. Erica got off the phone and told Caleb she’d stick by him. She pointed out they have to convince the FCC that they are the good guys in this case, not Chandler Industries. Erica then acted as a reporter and questioned Caleb about Asher’s accusations. Erica urged Caleb to mend fences with his son, and then she headed out to Washington to handle the FCC.

Kendall hugged him. Zach packed a bag and said good-bye to the boys. When he wasn’t looking, Kendall slipped a note into his bag. Zach said he saw her. Zach grabbed his bag and headed to the door. They both said, “I love you” and kissed. “See you soon,” Zach smiled before walking out the door. Later, Kendall encouraged the boys to make something for Zach when he came home. Just then, the phone rang. Kendall answered but heard no one, then the call was disconnected.

They ended up at Cortlandt Manor, where Opal showed him Palmer’s portrait and pointed out that Palmer was someone who Asher could be like someday. Asher was surprised to learn from Opal that his argument with Caleb aired on TV. Opal suggested that Palmer was trying to tell Asher something by pushing Caleb and him together. Opal then excused herself and Asher stared at Palmer’s image. Asher read Palmer’s letter, encouraging him to embrace his family. Asher then put the letter away, just as Caleb walked through the door.
Ryan returned and re-wrapped Greenlee’s ankle. Sirens could be heard in the distance. “What are we coming to do?” Greenlee asked.
