Sarah and Lauri are on their way to their respective school practices.

Lauri: Hey, Sarah, wait for me.
Sarah: Okay, but try to walk faster, we are already late.
Sarah doesn’t sound angry, because she’s not, just a bit pensive. Bad memories, perhaps.

Meanwhile, Kelly sees Dale leave the bedroom for the terrace, she can’t resist and follows him out there.
Dale: Kel? What are you doing here, babe? I thought you’d be in the shower by now.
Kelly: In a sec, I just wondered if you’d texted your brother yet.
Dale: No, but I will in a bit, I’ll just have a smoke, I’ll go get dressed and then I’ll text him.
Kelly: What exactly are you going to tell him?
Dale: All that we found out today, the real reason Riley fought with her dad, what she intended for me, and what a b*tch she was with Sarah. I’ll also ask him to avoid hiring her.

Kelly: I hope he makes sense and sends her to hell right away.
Dale: I hope so too. If Terry chooses to protect her, it will not only ruin his partnership with Mr. Woods, but it will also start another feud between families, like the one he already has with the Vanderburgs, or worse.
Kelly: Yeah, that would be awful. We have to stop Riley from bonding with your brother at any cost.
Dale: Well, hopefully my message can convince him, but you know how stubborn Terry is.

Kelly: Yes, I do. So, if you think a text message isn’t enough, and you need to talk to him in person, I will no longer object to you traveling to Lucky Palms.
Dale: You’re serious?
Kelly: Yeah. As long as you travel at the end of the term, that is.
Dale: Alone, or would you go with me?
Kelly: Of course I’d go with you. See, I can’t stand Terence, and, well, Cynthia is the last person I’d like to see – for obvious reasons; but I’m willing to put up with both of them just to screw up Riley’s plans.
Dale: Wow, thank you, babe. I hope that won’t be necessary, but it relieves me to know I have your support.
Kelly: Of course, honey. Always.
