Abby questions whether he wants Lily to be treated fairly or to get the maximum sentence? Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) talk at the GCAC, when Victoria comes in apologizing that she was late.

He appreciates everything she has done and gives her a lot of credit; he wants her to not go to the office and have dinner with him, Nikki and Abby.
He feels that its time for them to do some repairing to their family and Victoria agrees to try. Back at the table, Victoria tells Nikki if she really wants to help her, she needs to back off!Abby reads Devon’s statement, she hates it but Devon feels he hasn’t gone far enough, afraid the statement isn’t strong enough to give Lily a life sentence.

She pleads with him to think about Charlie (Noah Alexander Gerry) and Mattie (Lexie Stevenson); but he says he is thinking about his wife and child, unlike everyone else. Abby keeps telling him if he does this, he will push his entire family away. He wishes everyone would stop telling him how to feel!

Devon thought coming up there would make him feel better, but all he sees is people going about their lives and he doesn’t know how to act like anything’s changed. They talk about the sentencing hearing tomorrow.

Devon defends her, feeling Lily never gave her a chance and Lily was raised privileged, where Hilary fought for everything and in the end it was Lily’s pettiness that got his wife killed. Victor knows Devon has a difficult choice to make, as it seems like Lily simply made a tragic mistake.
