As multiple eyes dwell upon his wife, Tommy gets out of the chair; to try to convince her to drop this since what they believe about his father gaslighting her for months is a theory of sorts.

 

But once Jordan takes out her iPhone, she taps the screen as the audio fills the room.

​

"I was just calling to see how the patient is doing."

 

Not only does it appear she is still dealing with postpartum psychosis, which is quite serious, but she is starting to show signs of being overly medicated with the sedatives I prescribed to her too.

 

Good, it looks like we don't have long for the last part of the plan."

 

This is getting out of hand, Daniel; do whatever you want to do with her, but I won't be a part of a young girl's breakdown just because you find her unsuitable for bringing up your grandson.

 

Do as I say or say goodbye to your illustrious medical career; now, bye-bye, doc,

​

Having had enough of hearing the confidential conversation he had with Dr. Pierre Toussaint, the late psychiatrist who treated Jordan, he goes over to obtain the phone from Jordan, but Tommy blocks him from doing so.

​

"By the way, if you're all still unsure, I have several loads more recordings of my dead therapist, Dr. Pierre Toussaint, being blackmailed by your so-called leader, all because he thinks I'm such an unfit mother for his grandson. He even talked the man into giving me a higher dosage of medication, which made me start hallucinating and hearing voices and made me believe that I could endanger my son. Then I thought I had to take my son to Lake Hudson to get away from everything, and I dozed off in the woods. When I woke up, my son, Jeremy, was gone, so me, still overmedicated, took off to go find him, and I ran in the middle of the road while a car was coming. The people in the car are in this room, but they lost the most that night, and I'm so sorry, Max and Shauna, for my part in it, but it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for this man to my left.' 

​

Max Covington and his wife Shauna each react to the truth since they were the ones in that car, which he swerved into the ditch to avoid, causing him to be in a wheelchair and Shauna to lose their baby.

 

"Is it true?" Max asks his father.

 

"Maximillian, this isn't the time or place," Deirdre says defensively. 

 

The affluent widow is aware of her son's role in this matter yet remains protective of her family, especially in front of these associates.

 

Max gives his father a heated look. "I'm not asking you, grandmother; I'm asking that man who claims to be my father. Is it true what Jordan is saying?!"

 

"We can address this later," Daniel pleads.

 

Daniel does his best not to lose what little self-control he has left.

 

Courtney places her hands onto her face to demonstrate the shame she's feeling for her father in this moment. 

​

"I think this meeting should be adjourned," she declares, sensing things from here on out won't have a suitable conclusion.

 

Some of the other board members show their hesitancy at the table, including the wealthy married shareholders Charles and Nancy.

 

"You mean I lost our child because of you?" Shauna demands answers from her father-in-law. "I know you hear me, Daniel."

 

"I never intended for any of this," he responds candidly.

 

"I guess I stand corrected," Emma says of her claim earlier that nothing happens of any interest in these meetings.

 

The voice of Charles pipes up, getting their attention.

 

"From what was heard and told today, I think one thing should be quite clear: Daniel's heinous machinations should be called into question, and that is why I think we should vote to remove him as head of this company."
