If Allison hadn't been holding her up, she might have swung her cane at Barton! "Back then, when Barton stole my gold bracelet, I regained my senses briefly and told Rickey to fire him. I was crystal clear about it!" This revelation hit Kellan like a thunderclap. He realized that someone had infiltrated the nursing home.
Kellan's expression darkened, his presence becoming almost menacing. "Sherman, take a team and investigate immediately. Review every second of the surveillance footage. And make sure you catch Rickey. He doesn't get to slip away." The thought that Rickey, once a trusted ally to Kinslee, could betray her like this made Kellan's blood boil.
"Yes, I'll handle it right away!" Sherman replied, just as shocked by this turn of events. But he was certain now that both Rickey and Barton were finished. After all, Kellan had never been one to show mercy where Kinslee was concerned.

It's just you and Rickey making the rules, is that it?" She stepped closer, her gaze like a dagger. "You'd better start explaining what really happened." Kellan loomed over the kneeling man, his voice ice-cold. "If you don't tell the truth now, I won't hesitate to make you disappear from Ontdale." Seeing Kinslee ready to testify and knowing Kellan's people were already investigating, Barton realized there was no escaping the truth. Desperation overtook him as he bowed his head, repeatedly begging for mercy.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied! Ms. Clarke didn't steal anything, it was me! But but only did it because..." He faltered, glancing at Nova for help.
To his shock, Nova stepped forward and slapped him hard across then face. The sound echoed loudly in the "En' room, leaving everyone stunned.
