Phyllis asks Nick if he thought Sharon was behaving strangely at the party. She tells him she saw Sharon swipe a silver picture frame from the party and that's she's concerned about Sharon. Nick tells her not to worry about Sharon before he goes to the gym.

At Crimson Lights, Sharon buys a coffee. She looks in her purse and discovers the silver picture frame. She is uncertain how it got there. Kevin comes up behind her to compliment the frame, and Sharon startles.

At the Chancellor mansion, Jill tries to convince Chloe to stay. She tells Chloe that both Jack and Billy are using her. She says that Jack wants her to move into the Abbott mansion to ensure Cordelia is raised as an Abbott. Jill tells Chloe she should stay there with her and Esther where she and Delia are loved and supported.

Billy is surprised Jack could convince Chloe to marry him and move into the mansion. Jack admits he told Chloe that he thought Billy had feelings for her.

Billy meets with Chloe at the Chancellor mansion. Chloe tells him that she and Delia are a package deal.

They have an awkward hug.

Clint unties Esther and gives her a ransom note to give to Jill. He tells her if she messes up, he will kill Katherine, then Annie, and then he'll hunt her down and kill her too. Esther is panicked, but Katherine tells her to just do her best.

Amber tells Kevin about Clint. They find a mint wrapper they believe might lead them to his location. They call the company and find out where they deliver. Daniel tries to stop them.

Nick runs into Sharon at the club. He asks her if she took the picture frame from the party, and she comes up with a reasonable explanation, telling Nick she wanted to have it engraved for Victor's birthday, but Nick isn't sure she's telling the truth. Later, when Nick sees Phyllis, he tells her Sharon is fine.

Esther finds Jill and tells her that Roger and Clint are keeping Katherine for ransom. Jill refuses to pay a dime, though, because she believes Esther is being conned. She tells Esther Clint won't kill anyone.
