In the park, Billy finds Chelsea miserable.
She lets him know that Victoria warned her to stay away from Johnny.
She thinks his ex is right. It’s for the best but it ripped her heart out.
She wants Johnny’s happiness first. Seeing him today was a wake-up call.
She’s backing off. Billy asks her not to pin her dreams on whether Johnny will one day accept and love her.
She insists she’s grounded in reality.
Connor arrives at Crimson Lights and sees Johnny.
It’s awkward as they greet each other.
They talk about his birth mother and Connor says it’s not his fault.
He was freaked out about it.
Connor was too. The worst part about it Johnny says is that he thinks Connor’s mom is following him.
Adam appears and asks if the boys are alright. They insist they’re fine.
Victoria shows up and Johnny questions what happened between him and Chelsea at the park.
Adam perks up. Victoria turns the conversation to the ranch and Halloween.
Connor’s staying at a friend’s house tonight so Victoria will tell him where Grandpa’s secret chocolate stash is when he visits next.
“Wait, he has a secret stash?” Adam jokes.
The adults leave the room and Adam questions what happened with Chelsea.
Victoria had to warn her to stay away because “That woman just won’t quit.”
She doesn’t mean to be insensitive. Adam asks her to see Chelsea’s side.
Victoria finds it hard because of the way Chelsea went about this whole thing.
She sympathizes but is concerned for her son.
Shouldn’t Adam be more worried? Adam nods.
The kids sit together and talk about wanting to hang out with each other as cousins or brothers.
They agree it’s weird. Johnny asks if he can go with him to the sleepover with him.
Connor thinks he should definitely come.
The parents return and the boys ask if they can both go to the sleepover.
Victoria can see she wants to get out of his sister’s Halloween parade.
Adam’s fine with it. Victoria needs more information before she agrees.
Adam will pick them up in the morning. He knows the parents, who are on the board at Walnut Grove.
Victoria realizes she knows them and agrees to it. The boys go to text Beckett.
Billy appears, shocked that they’re laughing together. Vicky tells him that Connor asked Johnny to a sleepover.
Billy’s glad and hope the kids have a good time. He calls Adam’s face a scary costume.
“Mhmm,” Adam says before he leaves. Billy mentions seeing Chelsea and how she’s adhering to her warning.
Vicky’s glad but Billy says still, there is something about her demeanor that’s off.
