rafe 's voice : i 'm already the luckiest guy i know . alison : well , not as half as lucky as i am , because i 'm right here with you in the place where all good dreams happen . rafe : for now and for all time . alison : yeah . rafe : oh , boy . rafe 's voice : i 've never seen anything more beautiful in my life . i promise that we will be joined together as one , for now and into eternity . alison : and i promise you , rafe kovich , to carry your love with me forever . my heart and soul now belongs to you from now through eternity . [ scene_break ] jamal : ahem . hey , sorry . did n't mean to scare you . alison : no . i did n't even hear you come in . sorry . jamal : no , it 's cool . you looked like you were on another planet . alison : no , just another lifetime . [ magazine drops ] jamal : i got it . oh . did you find anything you like ? alison : no . not really . jamal : well , just so you know , i think that you will look great in anything you choose . alison : thanks . so -- jamal : what 's up ? alison : have you been back to town ? jamal : i come and go . alison : right . well , have you seen rafe ? jamal : no , but frank said that he stopped by the elixir . alison : the elixir ? why would he go to the elixir ? jamal : i do n't know , but he was smashed out of his skull , i know that . he was announcing to the world that he was retiring as a vampire slayer . alison : that does n't sound like something he would say . jamal : none of us are sounding much like ourselves these days , now , are we ? alison : no . no , we 're not . jamal : yeah . alison : so , how are you doing ? jamal : i 'm good , i 'm good . turns out i got this vampire thing handled . alison : that 's a little hard to imagine . jamal : no , believe it . and the world 's still going around and around , and -- alison : yeah . jamal : the one thing you can count on is people change , baby . alison : yeah , people change , i know that . lots of things change . who would 've ever thought , jamal , that you would be a vampire , and i would be looking through magazines for a wedding gown so i could walk down the aisle with joshua temple . jamal : yeah . it was always hard for you to roll with the punches . alison : yeah . jamal : unlike myself . alison : right . look , let me ask you a question -- jamal : yeah . alison : since it 's just us here . i want you to look me in the eye and tell me that all of this is ok with you , that you are perfectly fine and happy living as a vampire . joshua : well , jamal ? tell us how sincere you really are . [ scene_break ] livvie : please , let it have worked . god , i am begging you that the antidote be real . let my bite be the one thing that can save you . that 's right , you rest , my love . you rest now , and then you come back to me , do you hear me ? you come back to me as you used to be , with all your beauty and power and grace . do n't let me live this life without you . [ scene_break ] jamal : look , alison , i know you do n't exactly want to hear this , but -- [ jamal sighs ] jamal : i 'm feeling this vampire stuff . it 's kind of working for me , you know ? alison : no , no , i do n't know , but it does n't really matter now because this is the new world i 'm living in . jamal : i 'm so sorry . alison : what are you sorry for ? i mean , honestly , it does n't -- does n't even really matter anymore . i need to start believing that this is really happening because i 'm about to become a bride and it does n't get more real than that . jamal : look , i know this is n't the life that you exactly imagined yourself having -- alison : oh , no . oh , no . jamal : yeah . alison : the life that i imagined having seems like a very , very long time ago , like one big fat dream . jamal : yeah , it 's definitely a different world , but maybe -- i know you do n't want to do this , ok -- but maybe it wo n't be so bad . alison : god , forgive me for saying this , but joshua really has n't been that repulsive in the last few days . jamal : he seems to be trying , does n't he ? alison : i think that he has some sort of real emotion on a certain level , and he seems to be generally concerned whether or not i 'm happy and he has n't forced himself on me , and there 's something to be said for that . jamal : and also , he wants you to care about him , too . alison : yeah . he let me call my mom . jamal : really ? alison : and he let rafe go free , you know , safe . that 's all that matters is keeping him safe . i mean , i asked for these things , and he did give me these things . jamal : yeah , you never know . i mean , maybe you 'll fall in love with him . alison : jamal , i am a romantic , you know that . i believe in soul mates . jamal : mm - hmm . alison : and i know rafe is my soul mate . i know it . and he always will be . nobody can take that away from me . but there 's no law that says that you need to marry someone for love . and with a soul mate , you 're always connected , somehow , some way out there . so i think for now that 's just -- that 's got to be enough . jamal : so , what -- sounds like you 're giving up . alison : no , no , i am not giving up . i 'm just -- i 'm giving in , that 's all . i mean , i 'll obviously never forget about rafe . i ca n't . but for right now , i think the only place that i 'll see rafe is in my dreams . because after all , is n't that where they say that soul mates meet , is in your dreams ? jamal : yeah . alison : yeah . i just need to keep him safe , and i need to keep him alive . that is the most important thing . and who knows ? maybe i can help joshua become a better person or vampire or whatever you want to say . [ jamal chuckles ] jamal : yeah and are you ready for what follows after that ? because it 's inevitable . eventually , you 're going to have to become one of us . alison : no . i think for right now , i 'm just going to try and take one step at a time . jamal : i do n't know . it 's easier than you think . it 's one of those things that kind of just grows on you . alison : well , i kind of doubt that . jamal : well , hey , look at livvie . she did n't want any part of it , and look at her now . alison : no , no , no , do n't do that . you know me better than that . do n't ever compare me and livvie in the same sentence again , ever . [ scene_break ] livvie : please , it has to work . the antidote has to be real . oh , god , please tell me i did n't kill you . oh , please , you have to come back to me so we can live our dream together . just you and me loving each other . caleb , please , we can have everything together , please . caleb ? caleb : olivia .

you sound like you know something . do you have some sort of angel inside information ? casey : nothing that -- nothing that 's for sure , but i 'm holding on to hope , lucy . that 's what i 'm holding on to . lucy : right . right . ian : hey . lucy : hey . why are you here ? i did n't mean for you to have to come here . how did -- how did you find out i am here ? ian : i 've got spies everywhere . lucy : spies ? spies , like , these little spies that wear haloanand anl wings ? that kind of spies ? i 'm fine . i 'm just fine . ian : yeah ? let me be the judge of that . casey : you know what ? i am going to look for chris . ok ? ian : let me see . lucy : you tell him five minutes , tops , and then i 'm out of here . you tell him that . casey : ok . cycy : ok . casey : right . lucy : ok . ian : so , what happened , exactly ? lucy : sorry . sorry . i went to the elixir . ian : you went to joshua 's club ? lucy : i went to joshua 's club because rafe was there and he was drinking . apparently he was drinking a lot , which he does n't usually do , and you should 've seen what went on . you should 've heard what he was saying . ian : what 'd he say ? lucy : stupid , stupid things . i got really upset with him . i got very mad at him . ian : you got mad at him ? lucy : yes , i got mad at him . ian : that 's a first . lucy : yeah , well , it -- yeah , i was , and then he got mad at me and he got upset , so he left , and then i decided i was going to just get out of there , too . ian : yeah . well , you know , americans drinking , get a little weird sometimes . lucy : then i saw you . ian : you saw me ? lucy : i mean , i thought i saw you . ian : you saw someone who looked like me ? lucy : no . i thought i really saw you . ian : so you were hallucinating . lucy : no , no , i would n't call it that . i mean , i certainly was n't hallucinating . it was n't that big of a deal . i just -- i got a little confused , that 's all . ian : that 's all ? caleb : do n't tell me you 're running away , because the fun 's just starting . rafe : you know , what i do or do n't do is none of your business . caleb : yeah , but since i 'm here and i 'm asking -- rafe : i 'm leaving town . ok ? you satisfied ? ok ? caleb : you 're leaving town ? without alison ? rafe : well , you know what ? she 's made her choice . so , it 's out of my hands . caleb : oh . and you 're ok with that ? seeing your girl with someone like joshua ? rafe : stop -- you know what ? this is none of your business ! is none of your business . and , by the way , you got your powers back , did n't you ? which means livvie got the antidote , right ? right ? right ? caleb : yep . rafe : ok , well , congratulations . now can you go find someplace else to gloat ? caleb : i came here to finish what we started , to put the team back together . rafe : what team ? w were never a team . caleb : we can finish off joshua and get alison back . it works out for both of us . so what do you say , slayer ? joshua : is something wrong ? jal : is something wrong with what ? joshua : with alison ? where is she ? why 's she taking so long ? jamal : i do n't know . i 'll go check on her . joshua : well , that 's a good idea . go on . jamal : yes , it is . you look great . you ok ? alison : i 've been standing here for a really long time . i 'm really trying to get enough courage to walk through the door -- jamal : and marry joshua . alison : no . i do n't think i can do it . i can't . jamal : you do n't have a choice . ok ? so just take a deep breath , ok ? walk through that door and say those sweet little words . all right ? alison : this is n't suppodd to happen . it 's not supposed to be like this . jamal : we 're just doing what we got to do , ok ? so maybe you end up liking it in the end . or maybe it just wo n't be so bad . he 's waiting . alison : i know ! jamal : well , he does n't wait well . alison : no , not in this life . jamal : so we 'll just have to give him another one . joshua : well , jamal , where is she ? jamal . damn it , where it is alin ? n ? casey : lucy -- ok . hey , up there , it 's me , casey , again . look , i know that there 's a reason why i was the one who found lucy and i brought in here , ok ? i do n't know what 's it about . i know there 's a reason , all right ? i know that there 's -- casey : no . oh , no . lucy : ian -- ian : one second . lucy : no , no , not -- not one second . i dot rere about those numbers right now . i do n't care about that . all i care about -- you . are you ok ? i need to ow if you 're ok . ian : i 'm fine . lucy : fine ? `` fine `` as in -- ian : `` fine `` as in i 'm trying to find a way to control the hunger . lucy : you would tell me -- i mean , if you had to feed on anybody , you 'd tell me , right ? ian : yes , i would . lucy : well , then , that 's good . you got to give yourself credit for that , at least . ian : shh . lucy : no , listen to me . it 's important that younunderstand . it 's good that you can do that . ian : let 's talk about something else right now , ok ? lucy : okey - dokey , then , doctor , what do you want to talk about ? ian : when did you feel disoriented for the first time ? lucy : hmm , let me see . i think it was when you first kissed me . ian : no , i -- i -- come on . lucy : i 'm serious . i 'm being very serious here . i 'm feeling fine . i just would feel so much better after the transfusion . ian : you have n't got one yet ? lucy : no . chris said he was going to come back , and all he did was take some of my blood and take off , and he has n't come back . ian : is that right ? lucy : yeah , and i want to get out of here . you know , i really want to go with danny . i just -- i lo h having him stay with us . i love it . ian : danny 's in new york . you know that . lucy : what ? ian : he 's staying with tim . i mean , you know that he 's been staying with tim ever since the vampire thing started over again . lucy : with tim -- right . i know what you 're doing . this is some sort of little test . well , it 's not going to work because i know for a fact what your son looked like when i left him this morning , and he was blue . see , what happened was i tried to make those pancakes , you know , and i put too many blueberries , so his first bite , it was , like , all blue . and then by the time he finished eating -- head to toe completely -- you would n't even recognize your son . he 's all blue now . caleb : i do n't like this an more than you do , but we are stronger if we take on joshua together . rafe : we tried that , ok ? caleb : we also -- we also betrayed each other . i think we know better now . it 'll take both of us . that was true then , and it 's true now . rafe : whoa , whoa , whoa -- truth ? do n't even talk to me about the truth . you would n't know it if it -- caleb : if it what ? if it bit me ? let me tell you something . this much i do know -- if you love alison at all , you 'll put aside your differences and work with me instead of against me . rafe : oh , really ? why would i do that ? i know the real reason you 're here begging me now -- caleb : begging . rafe : for my help is because neither you nor livvie can get anywhere near joshua as long as he has that ring , and that 's what you really want , right ? you want that stupid ring . caleb : that ring is mine . it 's part of my heritage . and , yes , it protects joshua from me now , but it 's been in my family for generations . that 's why i have to have it back . rafe : you want it back because it gives you more power . so by all means , go ahead . go ahead . go and g it . but just so you know , i would n't help you and livvie cross the street , all right ? so get the hell out of my way . ok . fine , if you do n't want to do it , i 'll do it for you , ok ? caleb : you want to play ? let 's play . now it 's your turn again . joshua : you are so divine . you are remarkable . alison : i 'm so glad you 're pleased . joshua : pleased ? i ca n't find the words . that dress is breathtaking on you . i think anything you wear would be breathtaking -- even without clothes , quite frankly . jamal : joshua -- joshua : i think we 'd rather exchange our vows privately . close the door when you leave . alison : wait , no , please . will you let him stay ? joshua : why ? we do n't need a witness for our ritual . alison : i know , but ever since i was a little girl , i always imagined having friends and family there with me on my day . so if i could just have one friend -- please , for me ? joshua : all right , you come here and stay silent . alison -- so soft , so warm . and soon you 'll be all mine . [ music plays ] joshua : come with me . come with me . joshua : from the first moment i saw you , i knew we would stand before this ritual flame together . you and i together will be nothing short of perfection . ambition meets submission , power meets charm and breeding . and with you and i together , nothing is outside of our reach . with our union this evening , and every other night , it will be the greatest thing this world has ever seen . lucy : i bet that you were a lot like dan when you were that agebebecause you 're still a very messy eater . you know that . ian : yeah , i know , i know . he pbably got that from me . lucy : yeah . did you call him today ? ian : did i call danny today ? lucy : no , not danny , tim . you know , tim -- the guy who 's taking care of your son in new york ? ian : so -- so you know that danny 's in new york . you know that . lucy : yeah . he 's been there since the vampires came back . of course i know that . ian : and you 're sure about that ? lucy : of course i 'm sure about that . why -- why are you acting like this ? what 's going on ? ian : i need to find chris and see what 's going on with the test results . lucy : well , casey said she 'd do tt . ian : i know , but i know his hiding places . it 'll be faster . lucy : but i do n't want you to go -- ian : i wo n't be long . lucy : ok . casey : are you all right , ian ? ian : lucy -- she -- chris : ian ? ian : she 's losing touch with reality . she 's in and out , and she -- and you 're not surprised by that because you 've got the test results . chris : yeah , the toxins in her bloodstream are building up . they 're even stronger than before . ian : ok , let 's do a transfusion right now and -- chris : yeah , well , that 's an option , ian , but i do n't know if -- ian : what ? you do n't know what ? it 's worked before , so let 's do it again . chris : the results do n't last , ian . one look at those numbers shows you that if we give her a transfusion , she 's just going to need another one right away . we 're all out of cards to play . ian : what are you -- what are you saying ? what , you know -- you do n't know what you 're saying because you do n't even know what the problem is . so when i -- chris : no , no , i 'm not saying it because i do n't want to say it . all i know for sure is what those numbers are telling me . casey : she 's dying . lucy 's dying , and there 's nothing you can do . ian : i -- [ lucy giggles ] lucy : oh . i am so glad you came for a visit . i 've missed you so much . oh , mommy 's ssed you . you know , i bet you had fun at play group today , did n't you ? you can tell me all about it . but i thought first we should go to the store and get you a nice , new dress . i was thinking purple , maybe . maybe pink , but everybody wears pink , do n't you think ? purple looks so pretty with those beautiful eyes of your . would you like that ? like that ? [ lucy gileles ] rafe : no , i do n't have time for this , ok ? caleb : make time . i 'm not moving , and you ca n't do anything about it . we just established that . rafe : i swear -- caleb : you 're not going anywhere , not until you agree to give this a shot . joshua : alison ? jamal : ali ? alison : what ? what ? [ music plays ] joshua : the vows , my sweet . alison : oh , right , the vows . um -- i promise to always be loyal to you . jouaua : and ? alison : and i promise to always live up to your expectations . joshua : and ? alison : and what ? joshua : maybe a couple of words , improvise a few sweet nothings just for me ? alison : um -- joshua , i 'm sorry , but this is not exactly the way that i thought my life would turn out . but i 'm going to do the best that i can , and i 'm going to try and accept the way that things have to be . [ rafe groans ] rafe : all right ! all right ! ok , i will help you . all right , i 'll do everyining i can . i 'll give it my all . it 's just -- not now , ok ? i got something i got to take care of . caleb : what kind of something ? rafe : a very important kind . let me go . caleb : just tell me what 's going on . rafe : no . you do n't understand what you 're doing by keeping me here . caleb : why do n't you explain it , then ? rafe : just let me go , all right ? i got to get there . i 'm late already . caleb : for what ? who ? rafe : alison , all right ? i got to get to alison . joshua : with this ring , i thee we d . and for as long as it lays on your finger , may it be a symbol of my commitment to this union and to you . alison : ok . are we finished ? e e we done ? joshua : put the ring on my finger . alison : oh , right . ok . joshua : `` with this ring , i thee we d . `` alison : `` with this ring , i thee we d `` and use it as a symbol of our commitment to each other and to this union . joshua : good . very good . alison : now i know what i have to do . joshua : argh ! you wretch ! alison : ow . ouch . joshua : you wretch . you tried to steal this ring from my finger . alison : no , i didn't . joshua : now you 're going to pay . alison : ow . stay tuned for scenes from the next `` port charles : desire . `` [ next_on ] ian : i do n't think we 're going to do this transfusion . caleb : alison 's not the only thing that joshua has that does n't belong to him . that ring on his finger is mine . joshua : this whole wedding -- just a sham . just waiting for rafe to show up to kill me . was that the plan ? alison : ow .

elizabeth : so , what else do you need here , huh ? can i get you another pillow , or would you like something else to drink -- kevin : just please give it a rest , elizabeth . you know damn well what i need . elizabeth : i know . i know , and i know how painful it is . but the whole idea is to get you off joshua 's drug . it 's the only way that you 're going to be -- kevin : do n't you think i know that ? elizabeth , i must have had a half a dozen patients -- elizabeth : do n't use that tone of voice -- karen : knock , knock . kevin : karen , finally . karen : slow down , doctor . i have your dose right here , but it 's not as much as you want . kevin : that 's it ? this is what you bring me ? karen , you 're supposed to be weaning me off this thing , not killing me . karen : i know exactly what i 'm doing , and so do you . it 's a tough stage , but you 're not dying . elizabeth : do n't you think you 're being b bit rigid , doctor ? karen : excuse me ? elizabeth : i mean , all he 's asking for is just a little boost , just this one time -- karen : hold it right there . outside , now . elizabeth : no , i 'm staying here with kevin . karen : i said now . elizabeth : karen , i do n't appreciate -- karen : and i do n't appreciate you undermining my patient 's recovery , and it 's got to stop . leave his treatment to me and just get out of my way . elizabeth : oh , you 'd like that , would n't you ? karen : i 'd love it . elizabeth : see , so you admit it . so all of this special attention is really just a coverup , right ? karen : a what ? elizabeth : oh -- come on . you want kevin all to yourself . you 're hot for him , are n't you ? kevin : just what i need , ladies . a litt s self - medication time . livvie : caleb , are you sure you 're all right ? you 've been really quiet since we left -- caleb : i ca n't believe i just let rafe -- i ca n't believe i just let him get away like that . livvie : yeah , but it was kind of all my fault . if i had n't gone into the elixir like that and bragged to frank like some stupid jerk that you had your powers back -- caleb : what 's done is done . livvie : i know . i 'm just trying to say i 'm sorry . caleb : it does n't matter . livvie : well , it does to me . i just -- i wanted frank and everyone to pay proper respect to you , to me . caleb : it 's nice that you 're proud , but -- livvie : but what ? caleb : until i get that ring back , i 'll always be looking over my shoulder . i 've just been lucky so far . livvie : i do n't understand . caleb : luck . lucky that joshua has n't learned just how powerful the ring is or what it can really do . alison : rafe , where are you ? why are n't you here yet ? joshua : alison . alison ? hello ? well , are n't you the brave girl , giving me the cold shoulder when i should be angry with you for trying to stl my ring . but since i 'm a patient man and forgiving , i 've given it some thought . and i 'm willing to forgive you for all of your faults . so i 've arranged for us to have tea together , so come , sit down and join me , and we 'll have tea . alison : no . actually , no , i do n't -- i do n't want any tea . ththink -- i think that i 'm just going to go for -- joshua : now , now , now -- alison : ow ! joshua : now , now , now . alison : ow , let go of me . joshua : i do n't think so . alon : what did you just do to my arm ? joshua : you 're not going anywhere tonight , my dear . alison : what was that in your hand ? was that a needle ? joshua : you 're going to be ok . just another couple of moments , you 'll be fine . alison : what did you just do to me ? joshua : just a little insurance . just for me . just to make you a little more accommodating . alison : you wish . joshua : and to make sure you wo n't go back to your slayer boyfriend . alison : i do n't think so , joshua . you ca n't keep me away from rafe . not ever . rafe : ian , what the hell are you doing ? ian : lucy needs you . rafe : i told you i 'll meet you . ian : i know what you told me . we 're running out of time . she needs your blood . we tried everything else . rafe : ok , so you think slayer blood 's the answer ? ian : i do n't know ! but it makes sense . she fell in that pool of water , and she lost her slayer powers . if we can get them back somehow -- rafe : we can save her life . ian : yeah . so , let 's go . rafe : all right . of course i will help . ian : then let 's go ! i need you now ! rafe : i can't . i promise you . i promise you lucy will get all the blood she needs . i ca n't do this now . i 've got something i got to do . ian : ok , ok . i 'm sorry . alison : you just -- you just gave me something , did n't you ? you just gave me some sort of a drug . joshua : calm down . i 'm just making sure that we live the life that i dreamed of . alison : yes , that 's right -- what you 've dreamt . what about what i want ? joshua : forget about your dreams . we 're going to do things my way . i told you that . you just have to accept it . alison : accept it ? what , you and your vampire family ? never . joshua : ca n't we talk about something a little more pleasant , alison ? alison : no . and even if i had all of the time in the world , i would n't have time for this . joshua : speaking of time , what time is it , alison ? alison : i do n't know . joshua : what time is it ? alison : why are you asking me that ? check your own watch . joshua : i just wondered . i thought , perhaps , it was time to take a little tea . alison : i do n't want any tea . i would n't do anything with you or for you . i would n't even give you the time of day . joshua : you 're not quite ready yet . soon , you will be . alison : oh , god . joshua : i have all eternity , and pretty soon , you will have , too . alison : what did you just give me ? what did you just do to me ? joshua : you feeling a little unsteady , my dear ? alison : i do n't know what you gave to me , joshua . just let me go . stop it . do n't touch me . joshua : here , here . let 's try that one more time . there , there . is that a little better , my dear ? alison : no , i do n't want this . i just want to go . joshua : you want to go where ? where do you want to go ? you want to go home ? you want to go home , alison ? this is your home . this is your new home . this is our home . let 's try that one more time , shall we ? what time is it , alison ? livvie : so , you 're the only one who knows how powerful the ring really is ? caleb : its powers have grown over the years through each generation of my family . livvie : and you 're saying that whoever wears it is safe from more than just vampires . well , how much more ? caleb : let 's just say it 's beyond your wildest dreams and then leave it at that . livvie : you do n't trust me . caleb : of course i do . livvie : no , you -- you know what ? i do n't blame you . you gave me that ring to protect me , and i was supposed to keep it safe , and i didn't . and now joshua has -- caleb : stop . just stop . i gave you the ring to save your life . it was worth it . livvie : yeah , but if it was n't fore e -- caleb : it 's not about blame . it 's about knowledge . if i tell you , you swear on your life you 'll never tell anyone else about the ring 's secrets ? livvie : never , i swear . caleb : it 's part of my heritage , part of my destiny . but if joshua ever learns what power he holds when he wears the ring , i could never overpower him . livvie : why ? what ? what does the ring do ? caleb : if you know the way , it can grant the wishes of whoever wears it , making all of your dreams come true . elizabeth : you want kevin . karen : i 'm his doctor , elizabeth , that 's all , and an old friend . i am not interested . elizabeth : oh , please . i 've seen -- karen : listen to me . all i am trying to do is give kevin the help he needs . and you suggesting that i do n't know how to treat his condition is not helping . it 's plain , petty jealousy , and you 've got to leave now . elizabeth : no , you have no rig -- karen : wrong . he 's my patient , and you 're not next of kin . i can have you thrown out . elizabeth : you would n't dare . karen : want to try me ? karen : sorry about that -- hey ! hey ! kevin : just stay away , kan . n . karen : ok , calm down ! kevin : look , i 'll do better tomorrow , but for today i need this . karen : i 'm sorry . i ca n't let you have -- kevin : no ! i ca n't live like this . karen : ok , fine . kevin : i ca n't take it . karen : fine . you want more ? go ahead . do it . do it all . ok . you want to end your life , just do it , kevin . is n't that what joshua wanted when he first started you on this drug ? kevin : i just need a little more . karen : fine . what are you waiting for ? you 've already thrown your life away . why do n't you just go ahead and finish it ? kevin : fine . karen : ok , but one thing you need to know . if you crash and burn this time , i wo n't be there to help you . kevin : i wo n't need you , either . karen : you 'll be alone and afraid and your head spinning . you 'll be calling out for somebody , anybody , but you know what ? the people you loved wo n't be there for you . they 'll have forgotten you , kevin , shut you out . kevin : ah , god ! oh , god , what have i done ? who the hell have i become ? ian : ramsey , i need your help . chris : just give me a second . ian : now . chris : hey . ian : it 's about lucy . chris : i just checked on her . there 's no progress . ian : i know , but i 've got a plan . chris : ok , what is that ? ian : transfusion . chris : no . ian : slayer -- slayer blood this time . chris : she 's not responding to transfusions . what are the odds another one is going to make a difference ? ian : slayer blood is different , i hope . chris : yeah , that 's great . well , look , the only other slayer in town is rafe . we do n't even know where he is , so -- ian : he 's right there . chris : no . ian : do n't ask . chris : he 's not just resting , is he ? iaian : i gave him a little something . chris : a little something ? a little something on the top of the head it looks like . all right , so what 's your idea ? ian : do n't have time to explain right now . we can help lucy . let 's go . alison : the time ? joshua : go on . alison : it 's -- it 's time for you to realize what a pathetic excuse of a man you are . joshua , you 're a lousy vampire . joshua : careful . alison : careful , why ? you afraid -- you might actulyly drug me again ? joshua : your will is strong . so is your passion . but pretty soon , you will be mine . alison : no , never . never , ever . my heart belongs with rafe , and it always will . joshua : no , you 're wrong about that . alison : why ? do you have some master plan for me ? because i know you would 've already turned me by now . joshua : no , there are other ways , alison . alison : you going to torture me for the rest of my life ? joshua : no . i 'd just like to get on with my life . i 'd like to get on with our lives , our mutual lives . alison : right . joshua : try to be civil . i 've been a gentleman . i have n't tried to turn you . i have n't forced you to sleep with me , have i ? you have to say something about that , now . now , why do n't you come and sit down and join me politely for some tea . you did n't answer my question , alison . what time is it ? go on . you 're almost there . what time is it , alison ? alison : never . never . no , never . i 'm not doing this . look , if you want the time , then why do n't you check it yourself ? joshua : oh , look . i think you dropped this . yes , you did . you dropped this just as you were about to tell me thtitime . dear alison , what time is it ? alison : it 's -- it 's time for -- joshua : look again . look again . you 're aost ready . livvie : why , if you 've had the ring all this time and it 's held all this power and you can grant any wishes , did all those awful things happen to you ?

narrator : tonight -- a band that burst on the scene in the fall of 2002 , created a sensation with their music and their mystery , a lead singer who shunned the spotlight to the point of obsession and then almost as quickly dropped out of sight . joshua : stephen was a raw , extraordinary talent . he was waiting to be shaped . caz : stephen clay is a genius , but he can be his own worst enemy . angela : oh , stephen 's debut album took my breath away . it was like he 'd stolen my soul . it was amazing . narrator : this was a band that had only one c.d . released and no videos at all . they went to great lengths to keep their leader 's identity a secret -- flying in the face of music industry conventions . were they just a group of hard - working musicians , or were they hiding deeper , darker secret ? ricky : when stephen invited me to join the band , i never cared about his personal preferences . so what if he wants to work all night and sleep all day , if his red wine is n't really red wine ? i mean , what 's it to me ? all i knew is he was offering me the opportunity of a lifetime . caz : that 's right . that 's right ! reese : stephen is one of the sexiest men i 've ever met . i never understood why he hates the spotlight so much -- at least not until the mystery started to reveal itself . narrator : tonight -- an `` inside the music `` look at the mystique and the phenomenon known as the stephen clay experience . [ cheers and applause ] caz : oh , man , this rocks ! reese : i could never get used to myself on tv . admit it , rock star , this is way better than winning `` american idol . `` jack : hey , water down the hard stuff . we got to make this thing last all night . reese : jack , will you give it a rest ? you 're going to miss the whole show ! jack : reese , that is why god made v.c.r .

[ scene_break ] caleb : you got to check this out . i think you 're going to like it . rafe : this might come as a surprise to you , but the last thing i want to do is sit around and watch you get your ego stroked . caleb : oh , it has nothing to do with my ego . rafe : oh , right . and alison 's safe and sound at home , right ? i thought you were hatching some sort of plan to get her out of that hellhole . caleb : you know what your problem is ? you 're a victim of linear thinking . rafe : what are you -- do you have any idea what he 's talking about ? livvie : he always has a plan . caleb : just keep watching . this is about to become a real eye opener . [ scene_break ] alison : i 'm so glad you 're in the mood to celebrate . joshua : hmm . i 'm actually very flattered there 's an entire television network going to focus on my genius this evening . and as if that was n't thrilling enough , well , i also have you . given the choice between death and spending eternity with me , you 've chosen me . alison : it 's only because that 's the worst possible punishment i can possibly think of . i 'm responsible for the deaths of two of the greatest men i have ever known , and death would simply be too easy . there would be no justice in that for rafe or jamal . joshua : well , you do n't have to worry your pretty little head about that much longer because after i 've turned you , you wo n't have a will of your own . alison : i thought you said you wanted a bride , not a slave . joshua : yes , i did say that once , did n't i ? now , who did i say that to ? let me think . ah , yes -- the late , great jamal . give me your wrist . alison : no . no , i do n't want the watch . ah ! it hurts . joshua : of course you want this . you remember the time you said you 'd make an effort for me ? we can get back to that .

[ reese turns tv on ] caz : all right , all right . narrator : stephen clay was a struggling musician when he met joshua temple , a man with his finger -- caz : turn it up , turn it up . narrator : on the pulse of the contemporary music scene . joshua : this guy sends me a tape out of the blue . no one had heard of him , but there he was . i do n't use the word `` genius `` lightly , but that was stephen . narrator : stephen clay came out of nowhere , somewhat naive about the inner workings of the music business . joshua : stephen was reluctant to perform live . it was n't shyness , it was actually arrogance . but i had a vision , and he needed a band behind him . though i must say he wrote interesting music , he needed focus . he needed someone to take his creativity and put it into words . narrator : so while stephen himself became more reclusive , joshua temple went to work executing his vision -- refining the musicians and collaborators to showcase stephen 's magic . caz : ah ! yeah , baby . you get to know people pretty well , but stephen was an enigma . after all the time we spent together , i still do n't know much about the man beneath the image . joshua : i knew i had the hook we needed . i mean , keeping the mystery , building the mystique was the key to the success of the stephen clay experience . i mean , not that the music was n't compelling , but , i mean , sheer talent is rarely enough , really . i mean , bowie created ziggy stardust . kiss , of course , they had their masks . but with stephen , it was the charismatic lead singer you never saw . now we just needed the finishing touches . reese : i was playing at this local club back home , and all of a sudden these two blokes appeared . poof , out of nowhere , there they were . joshua already had this reputation on the london music scene , but stephen -- dark , mysterious , some people called it hypnotic . well , he managed to hypnotize me right out of that grungy club into the wildest ride of my entire life . caz : i remember our first rehearsal as a band . i felt it in my soul . it was like my life had changed forever . it was just -- man , it was like you could feel the hair standing up on the back of your neck . stephen was not of this world . reese : yeah , yeah . ricky : it was like perfect , creative chemistry . i mean , i 'm not sure how stephen felt about me because you never know with that guy . but joshua was all over me being part of that group . for me it was a dream come true -- the best musicians , the best music . we were shooting right for the stars , top of the world . arrogant jerk . jack : it 's all coming down too easy . there 's going to be a shoe dropping here tonight , and it might be dropping right on joshua 's head . joshua : i do n't know precisely when the vampire rumors started , but they took on a life of their own . i mean , if that 's what people choose to believe -- [ reese laughs ] reese : well , if stephen 's a vampire , what does that make the rest of us ? elizabeth : you know , i did n't even know who stephen was when we first met . i did n't . well , he had n't gone public yet , and -- oh . boy , but i was hooked from minute one . yeah , stephen has this way of -- of making you believe anything that he says . it 's not that i 'm gullible , it 's just that he is simply that seductive . and i can confirm , for the record , that he does bite . angela : wow , stephen 's more than just an extraordinary musician . it 's just he has some very unusual talents . jack : well , i knew the first time i laid eyes on stephen at the concert in port charles that he was n't what he seemed . narrator : it was the open - air concert in port charles where the world got its first look at the frontman of the stephen clay experience . it 's one of those moments that people will talk about for years . caleb : i 'm stephen clay . [ cheers and applause ] joshua : it 's like woodstock . you know , if everyone who claims to have been there in person had actually been there , well , the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands and counting . caz : joshua was against it from the beginning . joshua : it went completely against my vision . caz : and all we cared about was making music . joshua : the whole thing got completely out of hand . rafe : everybody , you got to listen to me ! this man -- he is n't who he says he is ! and he 's a vampire ! joshua : i thought it was a terrible idea , and i was right . that night marked the beginning of the end for stephen clay . narrator : the publicity generated by the port charles gig sent the band 's mystique skyrocketing . the stephen clay experience was positioned to write its own ticket . there were no limits . reese : it should 've been the beginning of everything . but suddenly , the wheels seemed to just fly off . joshua : he blew it . i mean , we had huge fights , but he 'd stopped listening to me . he realized too late what a huge error in judgment he 'd made . by then , he was making decisions based on some personal agenda , not what was best for his mates . not to mention his fans . elizabeth : stephen is an incredibly passionate person , and sometimes just has trouble separating the different levels of his life . caz : he started not showing up for rehearsal , so the music suffered . and it was incredibly frustrating because you knew the talent was still there . but he was lost . i mean , maybe it did have to do with his lifestyle . we 'll never know . jack : you 've got to wonder what makes a guy like that self - destruct . joshua : he would n't even make himself available to be interviewed for this show . it 's crazy . actually , it 's worse than crazy . it 's tragic . [ scene_break ] joshua : mission accomplish .. it was a real slap in the face to everyone who believes -- now i can focus all my attention on you , my princess . i 'll make you my very own . [ scene_break ] lucy : yeah , pumpkin head , mommy 's feeling a whole lot better , and i ca n't wait to see your beautiful face . um -- no . no -- actually , serena needs to be with her daddy tonight , ok , because they 're both feeling really sad and they need to just be together , ok ? hey , listen to me , you be good for grandma gail and keep playing old maid and i 'll see you in just a little while , ok ? all right , i love you , too . yeah . ta . ian : i know , i know . you do n't have to tell me . i 'm warm . i know it . lucy : warm ? you 're burning up . i have n't seen you like this in a very long time . you need to feed , do n't you ? ian : that 's ok , i got supply stuff right over here . lucy : wait . um -- i do n't know if i 'm all better . i mean , you know , all -- have my powers back . maybe i do n't . but i think maybe in the interest of science , we should put me to the test . what do you think ? ian : what about christina ? lucy : she 'll be playing old maid with grandma gail for hours . i -- i remember a time when you did n't need to feed at all . all you needed was me . and i want to have that back again , so -- please ? ian : sure you 're up to it ? lucy : i think we should give it a try . ian : yeah . [ scene_break ] narrator : the stephen clay experience was about to fall out of the limelight as quickly as they 'd appeared . was stephen clay responsible for his own failure , or does the blame lie squarely on the shoulders of manager joshua temple ? stay tuned as `` inside the music `` continues its profile of the stephen clay experience , when stephen clay takes up his own defense and makes an astonishing announcement about his plans for the future . caleb : there 's only one man responsible for the disintegration of our band . our manager is a liar , a cheat , and a thief . if you have to blame someone , blame joshua temple .

[ scene_break ] livvie : now , you are fantastic . rafe : nice move , shakespeare . caleb : oh , it 's not over . [ scene_break ] caleb : my personal life did cross over into my music , but i 'm an artist , not a businessman . the music is my life . who i love , what i feel is what drives my passion . things happen . the way you look at the world , the way you feel . and the audience will either go on that ride or they wo n't . i never meant to insult our fans or disrespect them . that 's why it 's so important to put the band back together . reese : well , did you know ? caz : not a clue . it 's great , though . reese : well , you can definitely count me in . caz : hmm . ricky : forget it . caleb : and let the public decide if it 's worth hearing . ricky : i 'm done . caleb : i was never in it for the fame . what 's the point if the people do n't want to hear what you have to say ? i learned through the music i have the ability to reach people . that 's everything to me , and i do n't take it lightly . joshua : lying bastard . jack : excuse me ? joshua : not you . where 's frank ? jack : i have n't seen him . look , is there anything i can do for you ? joshua : something 's gone wrong with this television program . turn it off now . jack : whatever you say , boss .

[ scene_break ] jamal : well , i do n't know what powers you have , but everyone sure seems to want you , now , do n't they ? well , you know , one thing 's for sure -- i ca n't let caleb or rafe get a hold of them , not if this town 's ever going to see any peace . so for right now , you 're just going to be daddy 's little secret . i just wish there was somebody i could actually share you with , somebody nice , somebody soft , somebody that could -- you know what ? stop . stop , stop , stop . i 'm alone right now , so that 's just the way it is . i mean , i wish i was n't alone , but i am . [ jamal sighs ] jamal : somebody nice and soft would be -- well , that would be kind of cool . somebody who 's not a vampire and not the twin of an angel -- that would work for me . somebody like -- you know what ? i 'm going to drive myself crazy thinking about this . i 'm started to sound like alison . all right -- alison , alison . jamal : i just wish there was somebody out there for me . [ noise ] jamal : oh -- [ jamal coughs ] [ woman coughs ] `` port charles : the gift `` begins monday . [ next_on ] alison : you need to stop causing trouble for me and you have got to make me stop feeling so incredibly miserable . rafe : now , joshua 's gone , the ring has disappeared , so as far as i 'm concerned , all bets are off . caleb : the bet is off when i say it 's off .

[ scene_break ] caleb : you lied . you broke your promise . the good guy usually played by rafe kovich came in here to find the ring for himself . rafe : what powers does it have , caleb , huh ? caleb : our agreement was i help you get back alison , you help me get the ring . no questions asked . rafe : ok , now , here 's the thing -- you 've obviously been looking for it for a while . i mean , you were here before looking for it and you 're here now . it might help if you put a little light on , huh ? now , we can probably assume it 's not here . caleb : so what 's your best guess ? rafe : i do n't know . and to tell you the truth , now that i think about it , i do n't really care . good riddance . caleb : not so fast . i 'm not finished .

( missing part here , will get it later ) alison : .... enough to defeat you and caleb . when i was willing to sacrifice myself to joshua , that monster , and give him everything he wanted , all to save the man that i love . and when i almost killed rafe myself , and then he ended up saving me anyway . livvie : yeah , in the end . now the two of you can live your happily ever after , that stupid storybook love of yours . what is your problem , alison ? alison : my problem is the same as yours . rafe and caleb -- they are off together . they did n't tell either one of us , which means that this ring means more to them than we do . livvie : oh , god , this is -- this is going to be one huge pity party , is n't it , alison ? alison ? alison : do n't -- livvie : alison ? alison ! [ scene_break ] caleb : you just do n't get it . that ring is a family heirloom . it 's passed down to me from my father and his father before him . rafe : and when did you put such a high price on sentiment ? caleb : you know i 've always valued history . rafe : ok , i 'll give you that . caleb : the ring is exactly what i told you -- no more , no less . and it does n't matter because we had a deal . rafe : it 's a deal i fully intended to honor , too , because getting alison back was all that was ever important to me . do you understand ? caleb : then you should help me . help me find it . rafe : ok , you know what ? the deal was to get the ring from joshua . now joshua 's gone . the ring has disappeared . so as far as i 'm concerned , all bets are off ! caleb : what have you become , some kind of lawyer fumbling with technicalities ? you used to be a man of your word ! rafe : yeah , well , i used to be a lot of things . caleb : the bet is off when i say it 's off !

[ scene_break ] livvie : alison , get -- sit up . are you done , or are you going to keep raving until you implode ? alison : i do n't know what 's wrong with me . i just -- i keep on feeling so dizzy and i ca n't focus . livvie : you 're going through withdrawal symptoms . alison : what do you know ? you do n't know what you 're talking about . livvie : do n't i ? little miss alison on a rant about how useless love is ? i do n't think so . please , you 're coming down from the drugs joshua gave you . alison : i 'm not some sort of junkie . livvie : look , you listed your symptoms . do n't tell me you did n't think something was wrong , that something did n't make you stab your boyfriend in the chest and in the face . hello ? am i talking to brick wall here ? alison : i did n't know what i was doing , but i -- i still did do it . i did n't mean to . livvie : well , i mean , he did set you up . but you 're right , you did do it . alison : none of it seemed real . it just did n't . livvie : oh , god , are you feeling guilty . i mean , alison trashing love ? alison : i hate to break it to you , but you actually need to go to school to be a shrink . you ca n't just inherit that . so if i were you , i 'd just keep your opinions to yourself , ok ? livvie : ok . you , my dear , are right on the edge . alison : i really did n't know what i was doing . i did n't . but i ca n't blame rafe for not forgiving me . livvie : are you serious ? i mean , he actually blames you for what happened ? alison : no , he says that he does n't . he says he forgives me , but , i mean , honestly , how could you ? how could anyone after something like that ? livvie : do n't be a jerk , please . you guys are , like , the love story of the century . of course he forgives you . alison : but what if he does n't , you know ? i do n't even know why i 'm asking you this . like you even care . you 're only happy -- livvie : no . no , no , no , no , no , alison , i do . i do care . i , like -- i think that you guys should , you know , work this out , make everything right between you . alison : why ? why do you care ? livvie : i do n't know . it 's just that it kind of balances everything out , you know ? i just think that you should probably trust what he 's telling you . and remember , his stab wounds , they 're going to heal . alison : but what about trust ? livvie : yeah ? did you ask him ? alison : yeah , i did , and he said that it does n't matter . it does n't make any difference that i stabbed him . livvie : ok , then why would he lie ? alison : why would he leave as soon as i fell asleep ? livvie : oh , god , get over it . if that 's the worst of your problems , then you 're halfway home . alison : what about the other half ? livvie : well , just do n't give him room to question how you feel . love him 1,000 % and make sure he gets it . that 's all that matters right now . [ scene_break ] caleb : we had a deal . i set that bastard up for you . rafe : mm - hmm , and i sent him to hell . that cleans the slate between us . caleb : you know , when you were an angel , at least you played by some rules . rafe : rules ? what rules ? come on , you should know there are no rules here . you set it up that way . caleb : oh , ok . if that 's the way you want it . rafe : oh , come on , man . we 're wasting each other 's time . ok , i mean , look at us ! we 're just a couple of fools . we ca n't kill each other , we can hardly hurt each other , so , please , please , can we just stay out of each other 's way ? caleb : it 'll never be over between you and me , will it ? rafe : no , no , i guess not . you know , maybe not . but at least it 's an even playing field . i have a feeling that ring will tilt the balance in your favor . so as far as i 'm concerned , it 's ok if we never find it because it 'll only makes things worse . caleb : hmm . did you ever think that maybe that ring has fallen into the hands of someone who does n't know just how powerful it can be ? or worse yet , maybe does know how powerful it is and plans on abusing it ? you see , rafe , doing nothing to find the ring might just be the most dangerous thing of all . [ scene_break ] ricky : all right , all right . this is just a dream , right ? you 're not real . casey : do i feel like a dream ? huh ? ricky : yes . no . i do n't know . i 'm the only one who can see you . casey : yeah ? so what ? who cares ? ricky : oh , god , you 're right , you 're right . you 're right , this is all that matters . god , how do i get you to stay ? casey : oh , i miss you , drummer boy . i miss you . ricky : casey , i got to tell you , i 've been having such a tough time since you 've been gone . casey : no , baby . no , you got to look at the good news , ok ? the whole thing about the band getting back together , right ? right ? ricky : no , no . that does n't mean anything anymore . casey : it what ? ricky , no , it has to . see , right here , where you live in your soul , it 's the things . ricky : no , not anymore it does n't . casey : what ? ricky : it does n't matter . casey : ricky , it has to . otherwise , why do we even go through all this pain ? did n't i tell you it would be ok to follow your dreams ? i told you it would be safe . i 'd watch your back , right ? ricky : yeah , but was that really you ? casey : as real as i am now . sweetie , as real as i am right now . please . please , ricky . take the chance that you can be happy doing your music , ok ? do not lose that . do n't lose that because of me . do n't . ricky : all right . all right . fine , i 'll do it , i 'll do it . caz : what are you doing ? ricky : what ? oh , man , check it out , look -- look who 's back .

[ scene_break ] caleb : thought you 'd be asleep . livvie : yeah , i was , until i woke up and you were n't here again . caleb : well , i 'm home now . livvie : you went back there , did n't you ? you went to find the ring . after everything we said to each other , it was just too seductive , was n't it ? caleb , answer me . what are you -- do n't walk away like that . caleb : olivia , if i wanted to talk about it , i would talk about it . but i do n't , not now . livvie : ok . so you do n't want to talk about the ring . you do n't want to talk about alison . you do n't want to talk about our relationship , whatever that means . so what would you like me to do , caleb ? am i supposed to just call and make an appointment ? because that 's what i 'll do .

[ scene_break ] caleb : so you want to say something , or are you just going to give me the silent treatment all night ? livvie : i would love to say something . i would love to tell you exactly how i feel without you getting angry with me . caleb : oh , i think i know how you feel . you made it very obvious back at the docks . livvie : yeah , well , so did you . caleb : there is nothing going on between alison and i . you get that ? she was sick . she was upset . i was -- i was trying to help her . livvie : yeah , i saw the way you were helping her . caleb : you really want to have this argument again ? do you ? listen to me -- you have no reason to be jealous . livvie : really ? how would you feel if you saw me in the arms of another man , especially if it was someone you could n't stand , like rafe ? caleb : i would n't like it . and if this was the first time you were upset , i 'd understand . but it 's not . it 's every time alison comes around , i say two words to the girl and you twist it into something that it 's not . livvie : caleb , listen to me , i am not the one who started this . any happiness i 've ever found , she 's been there to try to destroy it for me . caleb : if you believe that , you do n't know her at all ! she is so wrapped up right now in her own life , she 's not thinking about you or me . livvie : no , she 's thinking about a lot . she 's thinking about her next move , that 's what she 's thinking about . caleb : you have got to let this thing with alison go . just let it go ! livvie : no , you do n't understand . it is not just a thing . she happens to be my worst enemy . you know what ? i 'm not going to do this anymore . no , i wo n't . i 'm not doing it . caleb : meaning what ? livvie : meaning i am telling you for the record , just so there is no misunderstanding here -- no more allison . i want her out of our lives completely . do you understand that ? i do n't want to ever see you with her again . ever . [ scene_break ] rafe : alison , wait a minute . i mean , you know , it 's not like i do n't have a good reason for wanting you to stay away from caleb . are you forgetting our wedding that never happened because he somehow convinced you that we were brother and sister ? about the dozen other little friendly things he did , terrorizing nearly everyone in this town not once , but twice ? alison : no , no . i have n't forgotten . i mean , how could i ? i 'd like to , but you keep constantly reminding me . rafe : fine , you 'd like to forget . that 's great . well , you can do whatever you want , but i ca n't . alison : no , no , that 's not my point . that 's not what i 'm saying . look , here we go again . we 're talking about caleb and he 's not even our problem , rafe . rafe : he 's not our problem ? he 's one of them he 's a big one . alison : our problem is us not being able to talk to each other . i ca n't even talk to my best friend , my soul mate , and our problem is you wanting to go on thinking that everything is just dandy , even though i put a knife in your chest . rafe : because joshua -- alison : it 's not joshua 's fault , it 's not caleb -- look , it 's not -- rafe : if caleb never came to this town , everything would be fine ! alison : caleb is not responsible for every single bad thing that has ever happened to us . rafe : i do n't understand why you would ever want to take responsibly for something that is clearly not your fault . joshua drugged you . you did n't know what was happening . alison : but that is my point , right there . listen to what you 're saying . rafe , when you lost your memory and you did n't know who i was , you still had the connection with me . and it was huge . it was the biggest , most important thing . why did n't i have that when i was hurting you ? do you ever ask yourself that question ? `` alison , why did n't you have that connection with me ? `` rafe : no . no . no , not even once . the one thing i 've always been sure of is your love for me . so much so that i 'm beginning to wonder why you would go to caleb for comfort over me . [ scene_break ] imani : whatever . it 's good that he canceled our date . it 's for the best anyway . so why do i feel so disappointed ? jack : all right . they say bartenders make the best shrinks . talk to me . jamal : thanks . i asked her out , she blew me off , and , you know , life goes on . whatever . jack : so you -- ok , so let me get this straight . you asked her out and she said no ? jamal : not in so many words . i mean , at first she said yeah , but -- i do n't want to talk about it . jack : ok , so she blew you off . she changed her mind . jamal : i mean , it does n't matter . i mean , eventually she would have found out what i was and she would have dumped me regardless . maybe this is what happened -- maybe she found out what i was . jack : you think ? jamal : yeah , that would explain why she started acting so weird . jack : let me tend to this young lady , and i 'll be right back . jamal : all right . so that 's what happened . she found out what i was and now she 's repulsed . and she has every right to be because i 'm a vampire . you , my friend -- you grant wishes , do n't you ? you made it snow in july , you made me able to read imani 's mind . so now all you have to do is take this curse off of me . all i have to do is wish . [ scene_break ] kevin : i know . `` sorry `` is not really going to cut it , but what the hell ? you got to start somewhere , right ? lucy : i hope this is the real thing . i really do . for your sake , i hope you have found some way to lay to rest all the demons you 've been living with , finally . kevin : i hope so , too . hey -- did n't you say you made a wish that i would change back to the way i was ? lucy : yes , i did . kevin : you must have wanted that very much to actually wish for me to change . lucy : that 's true . kevin : well , then i guess i have you to thank . who knows ? maybe wishes come true . [ scene_break ] caleb : did i just hear you right ? did you just give me an ultimatum ? livvie : it 's just that we 're working really hard to get our lives back on track , and i just -- the thought that alison being in our way was a distraction -- caleb : answer my question . did you give me an ultimatum ? livvie : yeah , i guess i did . caleb : so answer the question . stop seeing alison or ? livvie : just stay away . caleb : i tell you what , i 'll -- i 'll finish it for you . `` stop seeing alison or it 's over . `` i 'll tell you what , i have no problem with not seeing alison anymore . what i do have a problem with is being told what to do . so here 's the answer to your ultimatum .

[ scene_break ] alison : rafe , i did n't seek caleb out for comfort . i did n't seek him out for anything . he was just here . rafe : oh . and you think it was just a coincidence , him just being here ? alison : yes , i do . and it was actually nice to talk to someone . rafe : talk to your brand - new friend , right ? alison : he has been nice to me . rafe : caleb 's not nice unless there 's something in it for him . alison : i do n't think he 's like that anymore , and i think that you know that . rafe : all right , just promise me -- just , please , i 'm begging you -- if you want to get past this , if you want to get past this whole thing , whatever it is that 's coming between us , then just forget about the whole joshua thing and think about this new friendship of yours . because i got to tell you that walking down here and seeing you with him , finding out you were confiding in him , that -- that hurt more than anything . alison : i know . i 'm sure it must have , and i did n't -- i do n't want to hurt you , rafe . i would never want to do that . rafe : i love you . alison : i love you , too . i love you more than anything . stay tuned for scenes from the next `` port charles : the gift . `` [ next_on ] jamal : i wish that i was back to normal . alison : oh , my god , look at this place . who would have done something like this ? rafe : whoever it is , they 're still here .

[ ian sighs ] kevin : but you think that i would evaporate into thin air just to make your life easier ? ian : i 'm not telling you what to do . but it 'd be a selfless gesture by a man who claims to have changed his ways . and who knows ? maybe you 'll make believers out of all of us . kevin : well , i 've had some revelations lately -- about myself , about the life i 've made . but one thing has n't changed one bit . i do n't like you , not even a little . i think lucy 's made a big mistake bringing you , fangs and all , into her home . but you know what ? that 's not my call to make anymore any more than it is yours to weigh in on my daughter . i know christina better than you , and i know what 's best for her . and i 'm fresh out of sacrifices .

[ scene_break ] reese : so , how about that key , then ? jack : all right , but just because i 'm giving the key -- reese : does n't mean we live together . i know . jack : right , it means if i 'm working late at the elixir and we want to hook up , you will have a key to my place . reese : got it . over and out . jack : i 'm trusting you . reese : ok . but , you know , all of a sudden i do n't feel like hanging out in hard - body land anymore . jack : oh , really ? you have something else in mind ? reese : how about we get down to business with this hot , sexy body ? jack : all right , maybe later . reese : jack -- jack : no , no , no , look , i 'm going to stick around , ok ? but you know how to use that , and i will see you there . reese : see you at home . jack : home ?

although glad to have signed the divorce papers , lucy is also sad that things things did n't work out after almost ten years with kevin . alison is pleasantly surprised when kevin asks for a membership application to the gym . after cattily criticizing the decor in the gym and therefore angering jack , reese asks for an explanation of his relationship with alison . informing jack that he says nicer things about alison than he says about her , reese says that he can make it up to her by handing over the key to his house . jack reluctantly gives it to her , specifying that they are not living together . he knows he 's in trouble when she states that she 'll see him `` at home . `` elizabeth apologizes to chris for pouring her martini on the front of his pants . chris firmly believes that georges is a fictional character she made up for caleb 's benefit , but elizabeth insists that her european designer friend agreed to design a sports line for the gym . she 's upset by the realization that he 's probably not going to show up , which will simply humiliate her in front of her daughter . getting an idea , chris dashes off without an explanation . olivia informs kevin that his return to his former self is n't working for her . she hates seeing him this way , and she urges him to fight for lucy if he really loves her . reminding his daughter that he accepts her choices in life , he asks her to return the favor and mind her own business . hearing her mother mention chris ramsey 's name , alison demands to know whether they 're sleeping together , and elizabeth states that she would rather be a nun . when chris returns in a disguise , he seems to fool everyone but elizabeth into believing that he 's her famous designer friend from europe . jamal assures rafe that imani does n't have caleb 's ring , and he does n't want the slayer to screw things up for him by wrongly accusing her . outside with caleb , imani maintains that she does n't have his ring , and she does n't appreciate being called a thief . when caleb grabs her wrist , jamal appears and orders him to back off . after imani goes back inside , jamal finally admits to both caleb and rafe that he has the ring .

[ scene_break ] livvie : well , that has to be the most self - serving idea i 've ever heard . the only one who gets anything out of him performing at your place is you . rafe : you know what , for once , i wish you would just think about it before you open your big mouth . livvie : oh , yeah , of course you 'd stick up for alison . alison : wait , why me ? what are you talking about me for ? livvie : well , this is obviously your brilliant idea . alison : no , it 's not . i actually hate this idea . livvie : oh , then whose is it ? caleb : mine . i approached her . alison : and i approached rafe on it , and i did n't expect in a million years that you would actually go for something like that . rafe : it 's just some music for the fashion show , ok ? livvie : `` just some music `` ? you should be falling all over yourselves to get someone as good as caleb performing at your cheesy fashion show . alison : this is going to get very complicated . do n't you see that ? caleb : look , hey , you know what , it does n't have to get complicated . relax . in the end , it 's my call where we play and where we do n't play . rafe : and i think it 'll be fine . it 'll all work out . you know , we can keep it simple , right ? caleb : simple ? you bet . rafe : then let 's go with it . caleb : i 'll have my people call you with some arrangements . rafe : great . alison : hey , hey , hey . rafe , wait , i want the truth . rafe : what truth ? alison : what is going on ? look , we both know that the success of our fashion show does n't depend on whether or not caleb 's band 's going to play . rafe : oh , yeah ? come here . come here . alison : what ? rafe : why 'd you come to me with the proposal then ? alison : because i wanted him to see how serious we were when we told him to get lost . what is it ? what 's going on ? rafe : that 's what i intend to find out . alison : great , here we go . you 're totally falling into your old ways again . why are you doing this ? you can not resist the game . rafe : no , alison , you know what , it 's not a game . it never was . but you are right about one thing -- caleb is up to something . alison : i thought you guys had an agreement . rafe : look , i 'm trying . i know i promised you i would avoid him . i was even telling lucy a little earlier that i owed you a life without caleb . but then in he walks , right , and not alone . he 's brought here by you . so you tell me , how do i avoid that ?

[ scene_break ] alison : that was caleb 's idea and he came to me . it was n't the other way around . rafe : i know , i know . but here 's the thing -- it does n't matter how it happened , it happened . alison : is n't this supposed to be , like , separate ? they 're supposed to have their lives and we 're supposed to have our lives ? rafe : mm - hmm , i know , normal , right ? alison : yes , normal . but i do n't think caleb 's band playing at our show is normal at all , and i do n't want to do it . rafe : well , then i guess you should n't have asked for my opinion . alison : oh , i guess i should n't have asked for your opinion . that 's fine . i do n't want to do this show at all . rafe : wait , wait , wait . alison : hey , look , let me tell you something , ok ? i 'm just trying to convey something to you . having a line of our own clothing is not worth stirring up trouble with caleb . so if this place is going to be a success , then that 's fine , we 'll go ahead and we will struggle a little bit if that 's what we have to do . we 've done it before , we can do it again . rafe : ok , do you think that 's the answer ? do you really think that 's the answer ? i mean , if it does n't happen here , it 's going to happen someplace else . do you know that the base of the promise that we made to each other is the idea that we were n't going to let caleb get in the way of us doing anything that made us happy , right ? alison : i know . but you opened up the door and invited him in . rafe : you know , keep your friends close , enemies closer . alison : all the more reason to cancel . i 'm serious . rafe : wait a second . i mean , you said it yourself , this show has taken on a life of its own , right ? i mean , and people are invested in this , especially your mother , and that 's all because of you . alison : right . ok , so there 's always a price to pay , is n't there ? it 's never easy . rafe : i guess not . look , i 'm trying . i am trying to keep this promise that we made to each other . but you know what , this is bigger than us . i mean , the fact is caleb is a vampire and i am a slayer . and no matter what truces we make with each other , none of that matters until we find that ring and we make sure that it 's safely out of caleb 's hands . alison : oh , god -- rafe : until then , there 's going to be no normal , not for anyone . alison : here we go with the ring again . again , rafe . come on . rafe : this ring -- it 's our biggest threat right now . so we got to keep caleb where we can see him . so we have him do the show . so what . so he might surprise us . you know , he might just put on a regular gig . but you know what , if my instincts are right , something 's going down . and if it 's going to happen , i 'd rather it happen here , where we can do something about it .

with the show scheduled to begin in an hour , caleb wonders where olivia is , unaware that she 's outside , paying a man to do something at exactly 10 : 30 . caleb prepares to exact his own revenge on the person who has his ring . as `` georges , `` chris seems to come into contact with almost everyone present . fretting about one missing model , he tries unsuccessfully to recruit various people to fill in . reese apologizes to ricky for her behavior and reiterates her desire to meet his mother . olivia bosses the other models around to keep everything on schedule . jack apologizes to reese , who ca n't forget his hurtful accusation about her willingness to sleep around . to jamal 's amusement , imani destroys the film belonging to a photographer who took her picture . ian figures out that `` georges `` is really chris in disguise . after the band plays their new song , christina tries to get to caleb , but kevin holds onto her . watching the clock , olivia worries that alison wo n't be in place in time . christina makes a wish that her daddy could live with her and lucy again . kevin 's friendly offer to introduce alison at the end of the show goes horribly wrong when a light crashes down on his head at exactly 10 : 30 , as he stands where olivia expected alison to be . olivia 's actions further backfire on her when the `` accident `` causes christina to drop the ring .

livvie : lucy , there has to be something that we can do . i 'm not going to accept this . there has to be an operation or therapy or something . it ca n't be true that my father will never walk again . lucy : we do n't know that 's true . we just have to wait , livvie . we have to wait and see . livvie : well , i 'm tired of waiting . there must be something else . lucy : livvie -- livvie : i need -- i need to know what 's happening . has there been any changes ? chris : i 'm afraid not . we 're still waiting for the cord swelling to subside . ian : it 's still going to take a couple days before we know the full extent of the damage . lucy : you mean if -- if he might be paralyzed . ian : let 's not jump to conclusions just yet . livvie : no , that 's not going to happen . lucy : it 's just the waiting -- you know , not knowing what 's happening -- that 's really hard . ian : i just want you to be prepared , that 's all . lucy : ok . chris : ian 's right . you know , there 's still a chance he 's going to be ok . lucy : a chance ? what do you mean ? how much of a chance ? lucy : kevin ? hey .

[ scene_break ] lucy : oh , i ca n't believe this . i mean , i can believe it because i could n't believe that kevin would make such an amazing turnaround in his life . i mean , people just do n't change on a dime like that . it was n't some strange coincidence . i just felt it . but wait a minute . does that mean -- does this mean that the wishes are n't real or what 's happened is n't real , or could the wishes just fade away somehow ? rafe : i do n't think so . lucy : then maybe we could use the ring to heal kevin . think of all that power ! rafe : ok , there 's more . lucy : oh , tell me . i want to hear it . what ? rafe : remember i was just telling you that jamal threw the ring in the river ? lucy : yeah , you said he just tossed it in the river without really thinking . rafe : right . well , it seems that christina found it . lucy : my christina ? rafe : and she wished for something , something she wanted really badly . lucy : what could she possibly have wished for that she wanted so badly ? i mean , i try and give -- she wished that her daddy and mommy could live together again . [ scene_break ] ian : you 've said your piece . now may i say mine ? kevin : i 'm not going anywhere . ian : yeah . first off , lucy is not your wife . she 's your ex - wife . and there 's a reason for that . and i 'm not fooling myself . she would have waited for you for always . but you hurt her and you kept hurting her until she had no choice . kevin : and there you were with open arms . ian : you think you 're the only one that 's angry ? i 'm starting a life with lucy , trying to build a home together , and never in a million years did i think you 'd be part of that . but here you are , living with us . and i understand it 's what 's best for christina , it 's what 's best for lucy . kevin : i 'm not convinced it 's what 's best for me . ian : lucy is going to be a part of your recovery process . she 's not good sitting on the sidelines . and she still cares about you an awful lot . personally , i do n't see it , but that 's the kind of woman she is , and that 's what made both of us fall in love with her . kevin : and believe it or not , i know you 're trying to help me , and if i do n't seem appropriately grateful , it 's because every time i look at lucy i see the woman i 've been in love with practically since the first day i stepped into this town . and when i look at you , i just see the man who 's sleeping with her . [ ian sighs ] ian : we all have our burdens . call me if you need me . kevin : so , lucy , what did your universe have in mind when it pulled this one on us ? [ scene_break ] lucy 's voice : oh , rafe , you got to be wrong . kevin 's living with us because of the accident . rafe 's voice : no , kevin 's living with you because christina wished it before the accident happened . lucy 's voice : what are you saying ? she would never , ever want him to be hurt . rafe 's voice : no , no , of course not . she loves him . but you and ian had been happy . and kevin gave you the divorce . it would take something extraordinary to make his moving in even a possibility . lucy 's voice : so christina got her wish . rafe 's voice : and kevin may never walk again . it gives people what they want , but there 's no thought to the consequences . lucy 's voice : i see . it 's like you 're messing with the universe . i guess there 's a plan for all of us , and as soon as you change the path we 're on , there 's a ripple effect , repercussions . rafe 's voice : exactly . it messes with everyone 's destiny . with each of these stupid , harmless little wishes , someone has gotten hurt , or will . jack had the ring for just a few days , but he made a wish . he wished for reese to give him some space . she did . she dumped him . you know where that leaves him ? lucy 's voice : alone again and vulnerable . rafe 's voice : yeah , well , jack does n't do alone real well , so he got his wish , and now he 's probably out there already looking for trouble . lucy 's voice : i ca n't believe there is n't a way to use the ring for good . rafe 's voice : come on , it belongs to caleb , lucy . how good can it be ? and its power is just beginning to be felt . even with the wishes that have already been made , who knows where they 'll lead .

[ scene_break ] phyllis : brad , we can barely stand to be in the same room together . so why would either of us want to declare a truce ? what possible reason could there be ? brad : again , very negative , phyllis . you know , maybe i just think there is too much hate in the world and i would like to do my part to reduce it . phyllis : oh , please ! you want something from me . cut to the chase . brad : okay . it 's no secret that , uh ... you hate sharon . it 's also no secret that you are close to jack . it is also no secret that jack and sharon are having problems . phyllis : and ? brad : and i think sharon is too good for jack . you think jack is too good for sharon . so you see , you and i want the same thing . phyllis : wait , the same -- the same thing ? for jack and sharon to break up ? brad : exactly . phyllis : so you want me to convince jack that sharon is not good enough for him ? brad : you see ? even enemies can have the same goals . [ scene_break ] jack : gloria has a letter that dad wrote in prison . in it he says how sick he was , how confused he was . it also says how i took advantage of him and got him to rewrite his will , excluding gloria from any part of his inheritance . ashley : how did gloria get this letter , jack ? jack : that 's uncertain . i guess he gave it to his cell mate before he collapsed and was taken to the hospital . ashley : well , how do you know it 's real ? jack : well , i guess she 's had it authenticated . ashley : oh , boy . jack : which means she gets half of his fortune , and maybe this house , if i do n't find some way to stop her . ashley : oh , come on , jackie . come on . jack : i do n't regret this , ash . i can not stand the idea of that woman having half of a fortune dad spent his lifetime building . ashley : but -- but ... it 's what our father wanted . jack : you hate her as much as i do . ashley : hate 's a strong word . i did n't like her very much . i know . jack : if i 'm sorry , i 'm sorry that i did n't protect dad , that i did n't fully protect him from all of this . ashley : look ... i understand your protective instincts . you 're thinking more of yourself right now , jack , than you are of our father . give gloria the money . do n't fight her on this . [ scene_break ] sharon : here , i 'm gon na take two . nick : two ? all right . well , let 's hope that noah is a better card player than his father clearly is . you know , with jack teaching him , you know , it could happen . jack 's pretty good at cards . i 'll take one . sharon : yeah , well , i 'm not surprised . he probably cheats . nick : hmm . sharon : you know , why is it that i ca n't stop talking about the one thing that i wan na forget ? nick : well , maybe it 's 'cause you really do n't want to . i 'm gon na have to raise you a dollar . sharon : mmm . nick : look , i 'm gon na level with you , okay ? yes , jack 's made a lot of mistakes . he 's done some pretty terrible things . sharon : no argument here . i 'm gon na call . nick : but i also know that jack 's usually the first to admit those mistakes , you know ? it 's one of the things i admire most about him . and considering what my father is doing to my mother right now , jack seems like a pretty good guy to me . and ... schplabow . look at that . sharon : what ? nick : finally ! domination ! oh , yeah , let me just get all my chips . sharon : you take your chips . nick : oh , it 's so big . sharon : are you telling me that you do n't think i should move out ? nick : i 'm telling you , you should really think about what you want . make the right decision because if you do make that move , you may not be able to go back . [ scene_break ] phyllis : i am not going to get into the middle of jack and sharon 's problems . if they can work it out , great . if they ca n't work it out , they 're gon na have to do whatever they wan na do without the help of you or me or anybody else , for that matter . brad : you hate sharon . phyllis : actually , i do n't hate sharon . i hate you . brad : you do n't hate me . phyllis : yeah , brad , i do . i hate you . and here 's a little more information for you . i would n't wish a relationship with you on my worst enemy . and sharon is not my worst enemy . for the record , i hope this little plan of yours blows up in your face . [ scene_break ] victor : it looks like it 's easing up a little . nikki : good . i know we 're both anxious for me to be able to leave . victor : it 's a hell of a way to start the new year , is n't it ? nikki : we 've certainly had better times . victor : we 've had some wonderful times . some terrible times . nikki : well , i think this year ... definitely goes down in the books as the worst . you and i going through a messy divorce , victoria being in a coma , and i am on the verge of bankruptcy . victor : i have a solution for all this . nikki : what is that ? victor : you get rid of this david chow fellow , and i 'll forgive you your debt . [ scene_break ] nikki : are you serious ? victor : i 'm very serious . you walk out of here a wealthy woman , with no debt hanging over your head . all you have to do ... is get rid of david chow . nikki : oh , my god . you are unbelievable ! you -- you 're not blaming our divorce on david ? victor : he 's the one you had an affair with . nikki : nothing that i have said in the last several days , no , not days , weeks , months -- nothing i have said has made an impact on you at all ? now all of a sudden david is this svengali who has seduced me into making foolish decisions , is that it ? victor : i 'm offering you a lifeline . nikki : well , i do n't want your damn lifeline , victor . i - i can not believe you ! do you honestly have such little respect for me that you do n't think i can make a decision ? you think that everything i do is because i 'm guided by the hand ? you really think i 'm an idiot . you have no respect for me whatsoever . i can not be with somebody who just has no regard for me at all . victor : do n't ever say i did n't try . i hope you know what you 're getting into . nikki : my stubbornness ? [ scene_break ] jack : i know why you 're saying this . that i should just ... stop all the fighting and give gloria the damn money . ashley : you do ? jack : yeah , you think this will show sharon that i 've turned some corner -- that jack can actually be magnanimous from time to time . ashley : oh , jackie ... that 's not the reason . i mean , that would be an added bonus , but that 's not the reason . jack : so what is ? ashley : because it 's what our father wanted , jack . you 're right , i did n't like gloria , i do n't like gloria , but our father loved her . jack : oh ... ashley : and you and i both know you ca n't choose who you fall in love with . like it or not , gloria made our dad happy . jack : we 're talking about gloria . we 're not talking about love . this woman hoodwinked our father into marrying her while she was still married to tom fisher . then she fleeced him to pay tom fisher . ashley : dad found all that out , and he still loved her . come on , just listen to me for a second . you have to put your personal feelings aside -- we both do -- and just give the woman that dad loved what he wanted her to have . if you can honor what he had and what he wanted to have at the end of his life , jack , maybe , i do n't know , maybe it would help us find some greater happiness . maybe ? jack : wow , if you actually believe that , you 're a better person than i am .

[ scene_break ] nick : noah 's still sound asleep . sharon : oh . well , summer stirred for a minute , and then she went right back down . nick : you know what this night reminds me of ? that big storm when noah was born . sharon : oh , yeah . i went walking through the blizzard up to the main house . and then i fell in the snow . i was unconscious . how long was i laying there , hours ? nick : i was so terrified that i was gon na lose you both . and noah was premature . he was so tiny , just like reed . sharon : you know , if -- if we had n't almost lost noah , we might not have ever had cassie in our lives . nick : grace thought that your son was gon na die , so she went to find your daughter . i did n't believe it then , but what a blessing . sharon : yeah . that all seems like a lifetime ago .

[ scene_break ] jack : this old house is full of memories , is n't it ? ashley : we need to make better choices , jack . especially you do . you know , lately i 've been thinking that i do n't know so much . but the one thing i know for sure is that our father loved us . i look at our lives , jackie . this is n't at all what he had in mind for us . jack : thanks for being here . it means the world to me . jack : we are gon na find what we 're looking for eventually . both of us . i know that . dad would n't have it any other way . john : you 're right , son . i would n't .

victor is back at newman and ironically jack is back at jabot but the question is for how long ? victor convinces ashley to let him stay on but calls jill with a promising business proposal . ana is home but there is stipulations , tyra can not see her unsupervised . glo helps jog kay 's memory and kay believes this is a kind gesture until murphy warns her to keep her distance . michael is trying to expedite glo 's arraignment but she tells him to slow down , there 's no rush . nick is wary about coming back to newman with victor back at the helm .

yeah , no . l - let me be more clear on this . under state law , removing a patient from a hospital without that person 's or hospital 's written consent is classified as kidnapping . victor : mm . rey : even if that person is your wife , who was , at the time , under the legal responsibility of memorial . victor : mm . rey : so unless there 's something you want to get off your chest ... and then , of course , there are your accomplices -- a - a doctor and a business leader . only the classiest of minions for victor newman . you know how to pick 'em . final charges are up to the d.a . , of course . christine : right now , we 're also looking at kidnapping , not to mention conspiracy . those are the big ones . rey : decades behind bars . unless there 's some reason you want us to cut you a break on this . nick : we want our lawyers . now . victor : no , son . do n't worry about it . this ambitious young detective is feeling his oats , right ? so he 's trying to play a game with us . not gon na lower myself . rey : oh , no attorneys ? all right . that -- that -- that works for me . what about you , doc ? these two have rap sheets you would n't believe , but this is new territory for you . nate : i 'm fine . rey : good . then you and i are gon na have a very nice , long chitchat . you 're first . come with me . the hard work you put into lowering your additional sponsorship rey : thank you . do you want a water ? coffee ? i 'm sure you 're hungry after spending all night in lock - up . i could probably find you an energy bar somewhere . nate : we gon na do this or what ? rey : just so we 're clear , i know that you are not the architect of this drama . you 're a doctor . `` first , do no harm , `` and all that . and victor newman , he is , uh , rich and powerful . i could see how it would be easy to get sucked into it . i 'm sure he made you feel like the noble hero by stepping into this drama with his wife , but ... look where you are now . at the gcpd . possibly facing even more jail time . charges . conviction . prison time . you can forget about being a concierge doctor to the rich and powerful . you 're gon na be watching guys get their heads split open in the chow line . nate : i took an oath to look after my patients . rey : cops take an oath , too . that 's why i stopped that plane during taxi . brought your patient back into the hospital where she belongs , and threw your asses in a cell . nate : when it comes to looking after my patient 's health and safety , i will not apologize . where she goes , i go . rey : yeah ? yeah ? o - out of the country with victor newman , who is a person of interest in a murder investigation ? and your patient just had major surgery ? does any of that -- any of it at all -- sound like a good idea to you ? nate : i 'm charged with nikki 's care . victor was worried about her safety . he did n't want her to stay a target of whoever did this to her . so he made the decision to remove her from the hospital and out of harm 's way . now , was i going to let her go without medical supervision ? no , i was not . so if this is where we are , then this is where we are . rey : i do n't want you to be here . you are smart enough to know that . nate : i do . i do . i understand that i am just a pawn . that you are trying to move me around the board and get me to tell you whatever it is that you want to hear about victor . but all i know is that you are keeping me from my patient . the one that you are calling a victim . and , see , the thing is , the only one making her out to be a victim right now is you . devon : hell , it was new year 's eve , and you got drunk along with the rest of the world . so you 're not special in this . cane : yeah , but i 'm a parent . devon : yeah , but you 've been dealing with a lot , man . you have a wife who just spent the holidays behind bars . cane : right . which means that she 's the one who 's suffering , not me . i 'm out here with my job and my kids and my bed , which i did n't sleep in last night . devon : well ... i do n't know what you want me to say to you . you can keep beating yourself up about it , or you can think about why you put yourself through that last night . cane : because i miss lily . and i just wanted to forget abut everything for one night . that 's all . devon : i understand that . of course i do . but , i mean , she 's gon na come back in the fall . cane : it 's january 1st . devon : i know what month it is . but i 'm just saying this because you need to focus on the long haul and think about it . 'cause she 's gon na come back to you . she 's gon na get out . she 's gon na come back . you guys are gon na resume life . pick right back up where you left off . cane : is that what 's gon na happen , is it ? you know , the thing is , when i go and see her , it 's like she 's not the same person anymore , and she just looks at me like i do n't get it . and i don't . i mean , i 'm not living the same life she is . i do n't see what she sees . you know , we used to be a team , but now it 's just like -- i just ... devon : well , you -- you just adjust . cane : [ scoffs ] devon : i 'm serious . you adjust , and you try and fall in love with the person she 's becoming . cane : i 'll always love her . you know that , right ? devon : i do know that , so i do n't see what the problem is . i do n't see why you 're stressing over something that has n't even happened yet . cane : yeah . devon : she 's always gon na be in your life . lily will always be there , regardless of where she 's at . that 's the reality of it . cane : okay . all right . listen . i , uh ... i need to go . thank you . devon : yeah , man . cane : thanks , man . devon : sure , sure . victor : so , this is how you waste taxpayers ' money ? is that it ? by haranguing and badgering and interrogating an upstanding physician ? you 're slipping . but you already know that , do n't you , christine ? christine : i am gon na have the two of you brought back to your cells for now . victor : my goodness ! how very brave of you . christine : it 's just practical . if you two are n't together , you ca n't sync up your cover stories . nick : you know this is ridiculous . we 're not common criminals . christine : nick , there 's nothing common about this . getaway jets are a very newman spin on things . victor : ohh , i see . the getaway jet . christine : officer , if you 'd please escort these gentlemen to their cells ? thank you . victor : all right . victoria : dad ! nick ! christine : wait , wait , wait . victoria : what 's going on ? christine : excuse me . victoria : well , what 's happening ? how -- how long has my father been here ? christine : i 'm really sorry . i just do n't have the time to answer your questions right now . nate : hey . i do n't think ... hastings realizes we 're on his side . you might want to have a discussion with the good doctor . victoria : nate 's been arrested , too ? where 's my mother ? rey : she 's -- victoria : i need to know where my mother is . rey : she 's under a doctor 's care , and safe . victoria : what doctor ? where ? rey : i 'm handling an investigation . & victoria : tell me where my mother is ! or do i have to go to the press to get you to behave like a human being ? rey : your mother 's at memorial , where she should have been all along . victoria : [ sighs ] well , her doctor 's here ? wh - why ? what has he been charged with ? rey : that 's none of your business . victoria : uh , my mother almost died , and for all i know , she still could . what have you done with her ? rey : your mother is under medical care . but nate , nick , and victor were found with her , which basically amounts to kidnapping . but the arrests have not been made public , so what are you doing here ? victoria : i - i came because of reed , my son . rey : what , is -- is he missing ? do you want to file a report ? victoria : no , no , no . i -- he 's just worried about his grandmother , very much so , and i thought maybe he came to see if there 's any news . rey : well , grandma is safe , but grandpa is another story altogether . wait . i have some more questions for you . victoria : arrest me , then . otherwise , i have to tell my family what 's going on . no ? good . uh , sorry . no visitors . protective custody . victoria : that 's my mother in there . nicole newman ? i 'm victoria newman . i just want to see for myself that she 's safe . i have my orders . victoria : so , what are you telling me , that -- that she 's your prisoner ? is that what you 're saying ? mom ! mom , they 're not letting me in to talk to you . are you okay ? ma'am , i 'm gon na have to ask you to leave . nikki : i 'm -- i 'm okay , honey . where is your father ? victoria : he and nick are at the station , and they need help . victoria : you tell your boss that he is not getting away with this . christine : detective rosales is right . your loyalty is misplaced . i do n't think you understand the seriousness of your situation . nate : well , waking up in a jail cell has a way of making things very clear . and one thing that i do know is that this is not about me . it 's about victor newman . christine : okay , well , detective rosales thinks you were along for the ride . upholding your oath . he 's sympathetic . my side is the law . bringing cases . cases i can win . and you were part of that kidnapping . it 's a fact . it happened . so if you have any concern for your well - being -- nate : my concern is for my patients , okay ? and you still have n't told me where she is , or who is looking out for her . now , one professional to another , how is it going to look if something happens to nikki newman -- for the gcpd or the d.a . 's office ? christine : okay , but nikki 's best interests are being seen to . is anyone looking out for yours ? nate : you have your priorities , and i have mine . christine : okay , you -- y - you 're right . you ... you should see nikki . nate : and what 's that mean ? christine : that means you will be brought to your patient to examine her . nate : so , all of a sudden , i 'm not under arrest ? christine : [ stammers ] allowances can be made . i 'll handle things with detective rosales . [ sighs ] w - we 'll be right back , okay ? we 're gon na go check on the victim . let 's go . rey : looks like you and i are making a habit of this . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] nick : [ sighs ] this is cute . and productive . i can see why they recruited you all the way from miami . rey : you know , i thought we were on the same page last night . nick : yet here we are . with me in cuffs . where did we go wrong ? rey : maybe when you helped your father abduct your mother , and watched from an airfield as he taxied to take her out of the country . nick : [ scoffs ] is that what you think happened ? rey : until you tell me otherwise . nick : you want to hear about victor ? rey : [ sighs ] fathers took up a lot of our conversation last night . consider this more of the same . nick : ah , so that 's the angle you 're going with ? life must be rough with a father like mine . look , do i want to charge you as an accessory ? not really . i 'd rather see you as a witness for the prosecution . nick : for kidnapping . gotcha . or are we talking about something more serious ? rey : you tell me . i know what you want . i know what this is about . so let 's just -- let 's just cut to the chase . [ sighs ] i 'm not helping you . rey : [ sighs ] nate : okay . [ sighs ] any dizziness ? nausea ? shortness of breath ? nikki : [ sighs ] nate : okay , good . you are doing great , and your vitals are in their target range . but you 've been through massive trauma and major surgery . now is not the time to play hero and pretend how tough you are , okay ? so if you 're feeling pain , let someone know . do n't push yourself . if i do n't get a chance to speak with your doctor , i want you to know -- nikki : what are you talking about ? you 're my doctor . nate : i 'm , uh -- i 'm facing attempted - kidnapping charges . nikki : oh , that is absolutely ridiculous . christine : we 're here for the sake of the patient , not the conversation . nate : look , i 'll try to get your on - call doctor up to speed , okay ? but in case i do n't speak to him or her , i want you to -- christine : all right , you know what , um , that 's enough . would you mind taking the doctor out in the hallway ? christine : the patient and i need a moment . nate : wait , what ? you 're going to question her , are n't you ? did you not hear what i just said ? my patient needs her rest . nikki : i 'll be fine . thank you , nate . for everything . [ door closes ] nikki : so . who is my doctor accused of supposedly kidnapping ? oh , let me guess . he and my son helped victor with this so - called abduction . christine : serious charges , nikki . i mean , you just know that dr . hastings is the kind of guy who has lived his life trying to do the right thing , and now look at him . he 's in police custody . it 's him and nick who i feel sorry for . victor lives to flout the law , and if he takes someone down with him , then what else is new ? nikki : your case relies on me being the victim of a kidnapping , and that never happened . i begged victor to get me out of here . i left of my own free will . victoria : [ sighs ] mom looked okay . you can tell that she was weak , but she seemed like herself . and dad and nick , they 're in jail , though , with nate . i could n't talk to them . and there was an officer keeping me out of mom 's room . i could n't talk to her , either . meanwhile , i have absolutely no idea where reed is -- billy : hold on . hey . victoria : ... or what he 's doing . billy : slow down . first things first . your mom is fine , right ? and your dad is back in town ? victoria : i think so . uh , yes , but in handcuffs . billy : okay . but he is back ? victoria : [ sighs ] yes . this is what rey wanted all along -- dad in custody . if he could n't get him for murder , he would be happy to lock him up for kidnapping . billy : okay . but the important thing is , your mom is fine . and nick and your dad , they can handle themselves . now , can you tell me what happened with reed ? victoria : i do n't know . he was n't at the station . i do n't know where he is or what he 's doing , and he has not turned himself in yet . billy : sit down . victoria : [ sighs ] billy , come on . billy : no , come on . i need you to help me try and understand what happened , okay ? reed was driving . was he -- was he drinking ? victoria : no . he said no . and i believe him . but charlie ashby was , so reed drove charlie 's car on a suspended license , and then they hit something . billy : they hit a person , vick . victoria : i know , but they panicked . they were just more concerned about not getting busted . they would never have -- have left someone by the side of the road . billy : okay . that 's probably true . and ... [ sighs ] i know this must be eating him alive . i mean , when i told him that your mom was in the e.r . , he ran out of here . victoria : i do n't even think he knew then why mom was in the hospital . god , billy ! i do n't know what to do . i saw rey at the station , and i thought about telling him . i wanted to get in front of this , just for reed 's sake . billy : why did n't you ? victoria : because ! are you serious ? it 's a felony hit - and - run . billy : yes , i know . and he has to accept responsibility for that , and face the consequences . victoria : if i tell rey , i will be ending reed 's life as he knows it . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . billy : [ sighs ] telling reed to lie about this , vick , is not the answer . victoria : this is n't a lie . it 's an inaction . billy : how are you justifying this ? knowing what i went through with delia ? how -- how are you doing that ? victoria : it is n't like that . delia ... we lost her . adam knew what he did , and he never said anything about it . [ sighs ] but reed is completely spinning out . billy : that 's a good thing . he should be spinning out . he 's gon na have to face the consequences of what he 's done . victoria : then let him do it from home in his own room , not jail . billy , please . he 's not even in college yet . with this on top of his suspended license , we 're talking about time -- actual prison time . billy : let 's just -- victoria : and they 're not just gon na throw him in juvie . billy : ... table this for a second , okay , just for now . victoria : i have to talk to cane . billy : whoa . hold on a second . why are you doing that ? victoria : because i want to find out how he 's handling this with charlie . billy : does cane even know ? victoria : well , if he does n't , he 's gon na find out . and if he does know and he kept it from me [ scoffs ] i am gon na give him -- billy : vick , i 'm not gon na defend him , but his wife is in prison because of a car accident . victoria : i have to go talk to him . billy : okay . then i 'm gon na go with you . victoria : oh , billy , please just let me handle this on my own . i do n't need you to hold my hand . billy : i 'm not holding your hand . victoria : i can do this . the babysitter will be here soon , and you can get back to your day . billy : i 'm always here for you , okay , and i 'm always on your side . [ sighs ] nikki : victor came to me on christmas eve . he held my hand , and he willed me to come back to him . read my chart . speak with the medical staff . i was dying . but victor came to me . and as you can see , i 'm still here . when i ... regained ... consciousness , i ... i panicked . because it -- it 's no secret that you 've made it your life 's mission to find something to pin on victor the last few years . christine : that 's not the case . nikki : please , do me the courtesy of letting me speak . since i am the so- called victim here . i know ... that you and the police department are desperate to blame victor for j.t . 's death . and i could n't let my husband be in danger simply because he loves me . because he cared enough to come to me . so i insisted that we leave the country . i told him that we would work everything out together to clear his name , and then we would come home . but instead victor was arrested , and i am -- i am being treated like a prisoner . christine : so you came out of a coma ... and immediately formulated a plan to leave the country ? nikki : i had to . i begged victor to do this for me . for my own peace of mind . it truly was an act of love for him ... to go along with it . christine : [ stammers ] you really think anyone 's gon na believe this ? nikki : put me in front of a judge . let 's see ... who he or she believes . i am nobody 's victim , christine . certainly not my husband 's . and obviously nate and nicholas are innocent , as well . but if you pursue this , i expect that they will sue you for wrongful prosecution , and i will be their lead witness . it 's not worth all that . christine : well , i -- it 's quite a performance . nikki : it 's the truth . christine : i 'll be in touch . nikki : uh , please get that guard away from my door . unless you want people to think i 'm being a prisoner here -- christine : nikki , the guard is here for your safety . it 's a police - department matter . devon . hi . devon : hi . i was told by victoria that my cousin was arrested , and the desk sergeant said i could find him in your custody . and i want to know why he 's with an armed officer . nate : where i work , with my colleagues walking by , seeing me like this . devon : makes no sense at all . nate : it does not . devon : you know i can have gc buzz down here in two minutes ? christine : look , i 'm not gon na pursue charges against dr . hastings . devon : then what 's going on ? christine : i 'll recommend detective rosales release him on his own recognizance . nate : oh . what happened in there ? christine : you got what you wanted . you 're lucky . i 've got to get to work . cane : what makes you even think it 's any of your business if charlie was drinking last week ? victoria : [ slams counter ] good . so you 're not denying it . that 's something , at least . cane : this is none of your business . victoria : if it involves reed , it involves me . cane : okay . all right . so reed was the friend who drove charlie home . is that right ? victoria : oh , please . like you had no idea . cane : no , i do n't have any idea . no , i didn't . okay ? look , charlie 's girlfriend dumped him , all right , so he had a couple of beers , and reed drove him home . i will deal with my son . victoria : you really had no idea ? i mean , do you pay attention to your children at all ? [ sighs ] there was an accident that night . and reed finally confessed . cane : what 'd he confess to ? what , they had a fender - bender ? it 's okay . victoria : it has to do with my mom . that accident nearly cost her her life . cane : [ sighs ] the kids were the ones involved in the hit - and - run . okay . victoria : is this you pretending again that you had no idea ? the same way that you did with the brash & sassy hockey video ? cane : see , this is why i do n't want your son around my kids , okay ? this is why . & first he gets a dui . but that 's not good enough for him , is it ? so what 's he do ? he upgrades to a hit - and - run . and what do you want to do ? you want to come in here and pin this on my family ? is that what 's happening ? victoria : reed would not have been driving if charlie was n't drinking . cane : so he has no free will or common sense , is that right ? victoria : reed wanted to come forward with this . charlie tried to talk him out of it . cane : okay . all right . so i see what 's happening here , all right . this is charlie 's fault . i mean , the kid who was sitting in the passenger seat . is that right ? victoria : charlie wanted to lie and cover things up . i wonder where he got that from ? [ scoffs ] he 's exactly like you , cane . people are managing their type 2 diabetes cane : listen , you and i may have had our differences , but do n't come into my house and trash my son , all right ? victoria : you 're really quite the role model , are n't you ? this whole , uh , mess with juliet , how you practically bankrupted brash & sassy . and do n't think that i did n't hear about what happened after hilary died , how you tried to get lily to cover up the fact that she ran that red light . charlie was in the car then . cane : that 's enough . victoria : how did you do that , anyway ? did you ask charlie to lie for you ? & cane : that 's enough . victoria : no . my son might end up in jail because you do n't have the first clue how to be a parent ! cane : it was your son who got the dui , okay , and you want to come blame me for being a bad parent ? it was my daughter that told the truth when your son tried to sneak into nick 's club on the night it burned down . victoria : she told the truth , and so did lily , but lily 's not here right now , and now those poor children only have you for guidance ! cane : do you ever get sick and tired of being this self - righteous , do you ? i know what you think of me . you 've told me over and over and over . victoria : am i wrong ? ! look at you . cane : ohh . victoria : you 're so weak and cowardly . how many people have you taken down with you almost ? billy , me , the kids , an entire company , and lily . cane : you can leave my wife out of this . victoria : she takes you back time after time , and your marriage is awful . cane : leave my wife out of this . victoria : and here she is in prison . she 's decent and loyal . and when she 's done serving her sentence , she gets to come back to this , to you ? cane : yeah . christine : [ sighs ] so , nick held tough . rey : and nikki went all newman on you . but [ sighs ] letting the doctor go ? christine : oh , he was n't gon na cave . and it became very clear he does n't know anything we don't . rey : always was a long shot . christine : i think all three sensed what we were really after . rey : just one new piece of evidence . one piece linking victor to j.t . 's murder . christine : yeah , i guess it was just too much to hope that victor would implicate himself to save nick from prosecution . rey : i know father / son issues , and those are some serious issues . christine : yeah , and nikki , willing to tell anyone that would listen that leaving the country was her idea . rey : we got nothing . so we pivot . christine : what are you thinking ? rey : squeezing the supporting players was a waste of time . so we just go for it . we bring victor in , and we charge him for hellstrom 's homicide . christine : i need more supporting evidence . rey : we have victor 's gun , we have a shirt with j.t . 's blood on it at the newman stables . christine : [ scoffs ] rey : we have victor on `` gc buzz , `` threatening to kill j.t . christine : okay . yeah , yeah . rey : that is means and motives right there . christine : we do n't have a body . rey : you and i can both cite cases where a body was never recovered , but a guilty verdict was still handed down . christine : without a body , we do n't have a time of death , so we do n't know if victor killed j.t . personally or he arranged a hit . rey : we can still make the arrest without answering those questions . we work with what we have , and then we strengthen the case . christine : oh , my god . it 's such a risk . rey : if you let him walk , we will never see victor newman again . he will be on a jet before that door is shut . it time for action , not caution . we 're not gon na get another shot . victoria : how can you even stand yourself , knowing that your wife deserves so much better than you ? she is so much braver than you are . she is the one who 's in prison right now , while you are just spiraling . i mean , she probably prays every night that you do n't screw up this family the same way you screwed up your marriage over and over again ! cane : look how jealous you are ! you are so jealous . you ca n't stand the fact that lily and i have a real relationship , that we have a marriage that 's worked , and we have a life together . i mean , look at you . how many boyfriends have you had ? how many fiancés and husbands have you had since i 've met you ? how many times has billy run away from you ? and i would even bet that j.t . 's not even dead . he probably went off the grid because he ca n't stand being around you , and just wanted to get away from you . victoria : you do n't know anything about j.t . ! cane : oh , really ? yeah , i do . i know he wanted to make up with you . but he probably did n't come back groveling and begging the way you like it . 'cause you ca n't stand that , can you , 'cause you want a man to have to eat dirt to try and make you happy . victoria : j.t . was a liar . cane : okay . victoria : and you know what i 'm guessing ? i 'm guessing that that 's the kind of man that you admire . cane : yeah , okay . victoria : i wonder what lily is thinking right now ? i wonder if she finally realizes that she could do so much better than you . cane : okay , spin this . spin this however you need to do it , okay ? 'cause deep down inside , you think everyone 's as cold and as empty and as lonely as you are . rey : you 're free to go . [ sighs ] nick : so that 's it ? no apology ? rey : nate 's already been released . nick : so you admit it , then . there 's no kidnapping . rey : we have reassessed the information , and now we move on . nick : where 's my dad ? rey : he 'll be processed shortly . nick : well , then i 'll wait . rey : you made a lot of noise about being here , and now you want to stay ? i do n't think so . nick : is there some reason you want me gone , rey ? rey : are you a lawyer ? a cop ? under arrest ? no . so if you would n't mind ... christine : phew ... rey : you ready to get this over with ? victor : we done here ? i did n't kidnap my wife , but i want to spend time with her immediately , all right ? unless , of course , your outrageous behavior has put her into a tailspin and caused her to have a relapse . christine : nikki made it very clear there was no abduction . victor : and you knew that , did n't you , christine ? victor : so , are we done here ? christine : what you do n't know is there has been a decision made on another outstanding case . victor newman , you 're being charged with the murder of j.t . hellstrom . rey : you have the right to remain silent . anything you say will and can -- victor : save it , young man . rey : ... be used against you in a court of law . you have the right to an attorney . if you can not afford an attorney , one will be provided for you .

elena : yeah . and even though i could n't save my mom , i 'm happy to be able to save so many other people . devon : well , i 'll tell you , she would be proud of you . victoria : okay , so after we unpack the luggage , then we need to start the laundry and grab the kids and give them lunch before they go even more wild , and then remind hannah that she 's gon na be helping us out tonight while we 're frolicking the night away at abby 's party . billy : well still `` frolic ? `` victoria : yes ! of course we do . you had , and i quote , `` the time of your life `` in telluride . billy : yeah , but we 're back to reality now , which means i thought that 's , uh , you know , laundry , lists , and half - eaten sandwiches , and everything else . victoria : well , you can let your hair down tonight . both of our families will be there . billy : yeah , uh , about that , i hate to break it to you , but you 're gon na have to ring in the new year without me . i always dreamed of additional sponsorship [ cellphone chimes ] elena : mm . hang on . it 's a message from nikki . devon : what 's she have to say ?

devon : because you 're amazing . you gave up your well - deserved vacation , you 're doing everything you can to make sure somebody else is comfortable for the holidays , and it 's -- it 's very special . elena : well , you do the same thing with your artists that you support and being a part of new hope in the first place . devon : yeah , it 's not the same thing , though , because i 'm a part of the non- profit organization , and you 're one person changing lives . elena : new hope is bigger than an organization . it 's you and it 's nick helping people to succeed . and i know how much you love giving people a second chance . devon : [ chuckles ] elena : see ? you ca n't even hide it . look at that smile . devon : yeah . i do . elena : see ? just focus your mind and your heart on that , and let someone else deal with all the other junk that gets in the way . devon : it sounds like you just came up with my new year 's resolution . elena : mm . devon : that 's what i 'm gon na do . what 's your resolution , honey ? elena : hmm . my new year 's resolution is more devon . devon : oh . elena : a lot more . devon : i can help you with that , you know . elena : yeah . you know the more you give , the more you receive . devon : is that right ? elena : uh - huh . devon : so ... if i give you more of this ... elena : mm , you will get much , much more in return . chelsea : mmm . i should just drop by more often . am i the first one to wish you a happy birthday ? nick : you are . chelsea : good . i rushed over to crimson lights and i found you all of your favorites fresh out of the oven . nick : so good ! chelsea : mm - hmm . nick : mmm ! chelsea : and fresh - squeezed orange juice . i squeezed it myself . nick : why are you spoiling me ? chelsea : because you deserve it . why would n't i spoil you ? nick : well , i mean , connor for one . chelsea : just because connor 's going through all of his stuff does not mean that i 've forgotten you , despite whatever you 've been telling yourself . i have something for you . nick : what have you done ? chelsea : open it . open this one first . nick : oh , okay . sorry . oh ! this is terrific . chelsea : do you like it ? nick : i love it . i remember when we took this picture . it was back in the good ol ' days . chelsea : yeah . oh , and there 's another one . nick : all right . chelsea : so , this is kind of like two presents in one . it 's the frame , of course , but it 's also a promise of picture - perfect days to come in our future . because we 're gon na have so many adventures , it 's gon na be hard to decide what photo even put in that frame . nick : you think we can do that ? chelsea : i know we can do that . i got plans , young man . nick : `` young . `` oh , boy ... chelsea : you are young ! we 've got baseball games and our future , trips to the zoo , fishing , picnics ... nick : i 'm gon na hold you to that . chelsea : okay . so .... ready ? you ready to make a wish , blow out your candle ? what 'd you wish for ? nick : i ca n't tell you that . if i say it out loud , it wo n't come true . chelsea : let me guess . you wished for adam to be out of our lives . nick : well , unfortunately , he is not just gon na disappear . so we 're gon na have to talk about him . adam : so , why am i smiling , and what is put this little extra pep in my step , you ask ? phyllis : i did n't ask . i do n't care . adam : it 's all because of you and your big , loud mouth . phyllis : all right , uh ... cut to the chase . just get on with it , please . adam : you just could n't keep our secret , could you ? you know , the one that i suggested you follow your heart back to your true love ? you just had to run to nick and blab about everything , did n't you . but , you know what , i 'm happy you did . it could n't have gone better if i planned it . phyllis : nick deserved to know . adam : yeah , i 'm sure you scored some extra brownie points with him for doing the right thing . that 's good . good for you . but , you know where this really gets interesting , is nick got so upset that he ran and told chelsea . phyllis : [ gasps ] oh , wow . i bet that made her putty in your hands . adam : well , the course of true love never did run smooth . phyllis : this is n't true love , your feelings for chelsea , it 's obsession it is . you just do n't want nick to win . adam : i do n't think you know a damn thing about how i feel about chelsea . phyllis : oh , really . okay . here 's a question for you . if her husband had n't croaked and she was still married to his money , would you be so determined to win her back ? adam : mm - hmm . you 're damn right , i would . phyllis : really ? so you must be extra devastated that she knows that you tried to wreck her relationship with nick and that your brand of love is just making her miserable so she becomes vulnerable to your manipulations . adam : you know , that 's not the way she sees it . phyllis : eh , you sure about that ? adam : i 'm positive . phyllis : mm . adam : i wanted you to know that everything is coming together , and i just really could n't do it without your help . chelsea knows about everything , and she did n't flee the penthouse . phyllis : adam ... i mean , the only reason she did n't cut you up into a million pieces and incinerate your remains is because you 're the father to that poor , traumatized kid . adam : okay , i 'd watch your step , phyllis . phyllis : i was the only friend you had , and you treated me like crap . adam : no , all i did is i gave you a nudge in the direction you were already headed , okay ? so if you got cold feet , it 's got nothing to do with me . phyllis : i 'm not interested in nick , i 'm not interested him . i 'm not interested in him . we are friends . anything else with nick is dangerous and messy . adam : oh , well , that 's just the way you like it , phyllis . phyllis : you have no idea my relationship with nick . adam : really ? phyllis : no . adam : you know what , i think i do . i think that you realize no matter what you do nick will never love you the way that you love him , and it 's easier to give up and fail . am i close ? victoria : it 's new year 's eve ! what better way than celebrating with our family ? billy : um , honestly , anything . victoria : [ sighs ] okay . i know . i know my father is not your favorite person to hang out with . billy : oh , mr . buzzkill ? victoria : but i told everyone that we were gon na be there . billy : okay , and you should go . you should . i just -- i have to work . victoria : you worked on christmas eve . now you have to work on new year 's eve , too ? billy : look , there 's nothing i can do about it . there 's an executive coming in from chicago , and he wants to meet . victoria : but this is a holiday that we should be together . billy : honey , there 's just no way around it , okay ? victoria : well , what are you gon na do when the clock strikes midnight ? are you gon na be making out with this guy from chicago ? billy : believe me , i will do my best to get out of there and get to you so i can lock lips with you by midnight , all right ? victoria : that 's good because it 's not just new year 's eve . it 's also the anniversary of when , you know , when we first connected . billy : let 's not , uh -- do n't remind me of that . victoria : why ? billy : because i was kind of my worst self that night . or actually maybe it was my truest self . victoria : you were plastered . you were sitting outside of that bar in the gutter , and i do n't even know how i got you home in one piece . billy : we have so many anniversaries . can we just put that one to bed ? i mean , we have jamaica , we have our wedding , we have our un - wedding ... victoria : but i -- i like that the best . i mean , it 's kind of unconventional , like our love story . it 's true , it did take me a while to figure out that i actually loved you , but ... you know what ? i would save you again any time , any place . billy : if only you did n't see me as a man who needs to be saved . chelsea : i came here to celebrate your birthday and think about all the wonderful adventures we 're gon na have in the new year , not to talk about adam . nick : well , it 's my birthday . i feel like i should get to call the shots . chelsea : [ sighs ] okay . what do you need to know ? nick : you left here loaded for bear , ready to tear into adam for trying to get phyllis to break us apart . i half - expected you to pack up connor and come home . chelsea : well , so did i. i was furious with adam . nick : well , it seems like you 've changed your mind . what 'd he do , apologize ? chelsea : he tried , and he failed , and he will continue to fail because he 's not going get between us . nick : so you 're okay then living with a lying manipulative backstabber ? chelsea : what is important to me , nick , is that adam is helping connor with all of his issues . nick : he wants you back , chelsea , and that is fueling everything he does . and it seems like you 're trying to convince yourself otherwise . chelsea : that 's not true , okay ? but ... you 're right . as much as i hate to admit it , adam still loves me . nick : [ sighs ] phyllis : you amaze me . you think , spineless troll that you are , that you have an insight into the human heart . adam : you still have n't told me that i 'm wrong . phyllis : you 're delusional . adam : okay , go on . try to convince me that you still do n't have a thing for nick . phyllis : you know , not all of us want to relive our past failed relationships . i mean , what is it with you ? first it 's chelsea , then it 's sharon , now it 's chelsea again . how long until it 's sharon ? i mean , if i was n't so dizzy , i 'd be laughing . adam : no , there is only one woman for me , phyllis . phyllis : at a time , you mean . which only proves you are incapable of change and growth . adam : and you are ? that 's a good one . phyllis : i am the phoenix . you saw the name on the hotel when you entered , right ? adam : but is it really , though ? i mean , maybe it 's abby 's . maybe it 's chelsea 's . so many owners , it 's kind of hard to tell . phyllis : i do n't need them or the hotel to rise . this year is my year . everything 's going to change . you try hard , you eat right ... nick : so adam tells you he still loves you , he 's put all his cards on the table . there 's no more being polite , no more rules , no limits as to what he 's going to do to try and get you back . chelsea : it does n't make a difference . it does n't matter how he feels . i 'm with you . i want you . nick : i ca n't forget who we 're dealing with here and what he 's capable of . chelsea : i can handle him . nick : which is your way of saying you are not coming home to me . he has been completely transparent about his romantic intentions , and you just seem fine with it . chelsea : i 'm willing to do anything for connor 's sake . nick : which adam is counting on . he 's gon na use that . he 's gon na chip away at your resolve bit by bit because he knows he can do whatever it takes . he 's using your love for your son to his advantage . chelsea : i am telling you not to worry about adam . he ca n't hurt us . nick : well , i want to believe that , but you staying there , living with him after he 's been revealed ... it 's just another victory for him . he is winning at keeping us apart . chelsea : that is not true . nothing has changed . nick : nothing except your address . chelsea : i want to be here with you , you know that ! i love you . i am only staying with adam because it is what is safest for connor right now . you are my safe haven . you are what grounds me . i need that . i am so lucky to have you in my corner . i truly do n't know what i would do without your constant love and understanding . nick : i hate to break this up , but i 'm supposed to see faith and summer for this birthday thing , so i got to get out of here . chelsea : okay . okay , but i 'll see you tonight at society ? nick : sure . chelsea : good . happy birthday . billy : yes , make confetti of that thing . victoria : no , i 'm splitting up the chores . you take half , i 'll do the rest , and we 'll get it all done . billy : oh , right . victoria : well , do you have time before your meeting ? billy : [ sighs ] victoria : billy . billy : i 'm sorry . i was just thinking about new year 's eve outside jimmy 's bar . victoria : yeah . i 'm actually kind of surprised you remembered anything . you were wasted . billy : well , i was battling demons . victoria : yeah , that 's true . but look at how far you 've come . you 've turned a corner . you 've left all that behind you . billy : have i ? really ? i mean , what if who i was is just who i am ? victoria : i do n't understand . billy : i do n't know , maybe all this rehab and therapy and trying to find myself is n't going to fix anything . we tell the kids all the time that they do n't have to be perfect , right ? that they can just be who they are . does that not mean for us , too ? victoria : billy ? is there something that you want to tell me ? is it about gambling ? billy : no , it 's -- it 's bigger than that . devon : can i get you anything ? chance : no , thank you . i ca n't stay long . devon : what brings you bay ? chance : i 've got some news . i 'm now officially a free agent . pardon the pun . i 'm no longer working with the feds . devon : okay . did -- did you jump , or did they push ? chance : the choice was all mine . devon : so , where does that leave my case on colin ? chance : i think it puts me in a better position to bring him to justice , now that i do n't have any rules of conduct that i have to play by . devon : that 's great . that 's -- things are looking better already , then . chance : i just thought you should know since neither one of us was satisfied with how things stalled when colin escaped . devon : yeah , no , this is great . it 's perfect . [ cellphone chimes ] is that you ? chance : no . sounds like elena 's phone , actually . she must have went went to work and forgot it . chance : what 's up ? devon : it 's from a lady that she 's working with that says her baby 's in trouble . chance : emergency mode , devon . what the hell you waiting for ? devon : yeah . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . adam : oh , good . you 're back . chelsea : what are all these bags for ? adam : okay . tell me i have not gone overboard . all right , first we got these springy thingies . guy at the pet store said they 're a guaranteed hit . cats love these things . and then ... we have this . chelsea : what is that , a fishing rod ? adam : yeah , put a little stuffed fish on it , and you drag it around the apartment . cats go crazy for it . chelsea : huh . adam : i got some catnip , some food , water bowls . treats . what do you think ? chelsea : i was worried connor was gon na be the person who got overly attached to oliver . adam : he needs us . we need him . chelsea : i never really thought of you as a cat person . adam : i ... like anything that makes connor this happy . chelsea : mm . adam : and look at this . look at what he drew while you were out . `` my family . `` connor , you , me , and oliver . kid 's a regular rockwell . chelsea : it 's beautiful , um ... adam , i think , um ... i think we need to talk about our current living situation . adam : i mean , we have plenty of room for the cat . chelsea : i 'm talking about us . i think we need to come up with another way to get through this rough patch with connor because living here is giving him ... and you ... false hope for some happily - ever - after . and that 's never gon na happen . faith : happy birthday ! to the best dad in the world ... nick : you guys ! thanks for doing this ! mwah ! faith : hi ! some birthday muffins ... summer : all right , dig in . nick : all right ! i am crushing muffins today ! faith : oh , they are all your favorites . nick : well , grab one . faith : oh , no , these are all for you . nick : no , i insist . come on . take one . summer : all right , all right . maybe one . faith : mmm , these look so good . nick : [ laughs ] i mean , i do n't even recognize you two without sending me pictures of you , you know , with the silly `` chat snappy `` filters on them . summer : he did not just say that . faith : dad , no ... nick : it 's so good to see you . i mean , you put a big smile on my face . faith : wait , why did n't you already have a smile on ? faith : did something happen ? nick : yes . it 's my birthday , you know , so i woke up , i looked in the mirror , and i just see this old man staring back at me . faith : you 're not old . nick : well , you two are . i remember when you guys would give me hug coupons that you had colored . they were the best presents ever . summer : all right , then you 're really not gon na like these . faith : ugh . nick : nope , i ca n't wait to see them . summer : [ laughs ] phyllis : hey ! if i knew you were having a party , i would have brought a cake . faith : mm ! who needs cake when you 're got a massive amount of muffins ? here , we 'll make room . phyllis : oh , my goodness . nick : yeah , come on . the more , the merrier . phyllis : may i/ nick : yes , take more than one . phyllis : delish ! oh , okay . i will .

devon : it seems like you 're going through a lot . yeah . devon : and you were overwhelmed . i 'm sure you probably do n't have a lot of people to turn to . i completely understand that . i 've been there myself . i will never forgive myself if anything happens to her . devon : nothing 's gon na happen to her , okay ? she was burning up , screaming and crying so loud . you heard her . this is my punishment for abandoning her , for being a bad mother . devon : come on . hey . i do n't think the world works like this . i really do n't , okay ?

adam : because every time you come back from seeing him , you are different , in a bad way , okay ? chelsea : gee , thanks . adam : and it always comes down to you being here with me and everything that he thinks about that . chelsea : that is not true . adam : what did he do ? did he make you forget about all the fun we had here at christmas ? just the three of us here in our little perfect cocoon , and finding oliver . and even though we did n't think he was gon na make it , we helped him get through it together . chelsea : our being together did n't bring oliver back to life , adam . that 's not the way oliver and connor sees it . i mean , he 's got a friend now , one that were listening to him to and give him unconditional love . [ sighs ] we rescued that cat , and that cat 's gon na rescue our son . i mean , this is a story that we 're gon na be telling around the christmas tree for the rest of our lives . i mean , it showed the three of us , once again , that we are good together and we belong together , that it works and it 's fun . and i promise you , this is not a pot shot nick , but come on . you and nick .... there is nothing there . chelsea : you have no idea what 's in my heart . adam : yes , i do . you are afraid . you 're afraid of breaking his heart and admitting that you are happy with me . chelsea : i 'm not doing this , adam . i am not going to argue with you anymore , i 'm gon na -- adam : hey , you are only arguing with yourself , with a part of yourself that believes that you do n't deserve to be happy ... that has been so tightly wound since the day that you thought you lost me ... that just so afraid to let go and just be free again . chelsea : my god ... my god , you are so full of yourself , you know that ? adam : you 're not denying that i 'm right . just like you ca n't tell me that i 'm wrong when i say that you feel complete with me . and even now you ca n't tell me i 'm lying when you look into my eyes and i say that we 're not done , that this is right , and that you still love me . what was wrong ? elena : ear infection poor baby . elena : there are common , especially in infants . it hurts , but they 're not able to tell you where it hurts . i was so afraid it was something more elena : nope , we 'll put her on a course of antibiotics , and she should be just fine .

[ knock on door ] courtney : hello ? noah : courtney ? courtney : oh , it 's a crowd in here . [ chuckles ] noah : what are you doing here ? courtney : thought i 'd come help you keep faith 's spirits up . austin : where is faith ? noah : oh , she went upstairs to get a game . it 's gon na be a pretty intense board game . courtney : [ chuckles ] i 'm down for that . mariah , is everything okay with kevin ? mariah : yeah , i guess so . why ? courtney : he was just acting a little off today . noah : think he 's breaking the law , again ? courtney : that 's not exactly what i meant . mariah : i did n't know kevin had been arrested . for what ? noah : breaking and entering , burglary , some other things , i think . courtney : but he turned his life around . he 's definitely paid for his crimes . summer : looks like you and kevin have a lot in common , mariah . mariah : see , that 's exactly why i like plato sphere . he 's a realist . kevin : a realist , huh ? how 's this for reality ? real live mistletoe hanging over your head . what are you gon na do about it ? mariah : not what you 're hoping . kevin : why ? are you afraid to kiss me ? mariah : no . i 'm just not easily manipulated into a kiss by a guy holding a glorified piece of parsley over his head . [ chuckles ] kevin : the timing was n't right , but love pays no attention to the clock ... or the fire - breathing gnomes and mutant unicorns exploding all around you . kelly : i 'm just saying i deserve to be happy . stitch : great . that 's what i want for you , too . kelly : i know you do . my love life 's just a touchy subject lately . stitch : look , i - i 'm just a little worried about you . kelly : why ? stitch : you seem ... wound a little bit tight about all of this . kelly : ben , you and i have n't actually spent quality time with each other in years . so how would you possibly know how wound or unwound i get ? stitch : give me some credit , kelly . i can tell . kelly : do n't worry , okay ? i have everything under control . i just have to be patient , okay ? like you were . stitch : patient in the anticipation of what , exactly ? kelly : for justice to prevail . billy : your fiancée has been subjecting me to her delusional accusations . phyllis : i 'm delusional ? the woman showed up in the same dress . billy : [ gasps ] the horror . jack : it was a coincidence , nothing more . phyllis : the woman is out to get me , jack . jack : okay , i asked kelly , on new year 's eve , to stop trashing you . i 'm gon na ask the same of you with her . phyllis : so , kelly was trashing me on new year 's eve . jack : [ sighs ] phyllis : did n't you say she would n't listen to you when you tried to tell her we were committed to each other ? jack : that was an emotional , defensive reaction . it was n't part of some master plan . phyllis : i 'm sure billy can shed some light on this . billy : me ? how ? phyllis : yeah , well , i 'm sure you know about kelly 's life story . you must have heard about it in those grief - counseling meetings . billy : oh . phyllis : what did she have to say about herself ? billy : [ sighs ] sage : constance . [ sniffles ] gabriel 's here . gabriel : grandmother . welcome to the hereafter . i ca n't wait to be with you again . constance : the light . wait . sage : constance . adam : grandmother . grandmother , i love you . constance : gabriel . adam : yeah . yeah , i 'm right here . i 'm right here . constance : you are not my grandson . summer : it says i need to pick a career . austin : well , this game is paralleling life right now . summer : yea choosing a real - life profession were as easy as picking a card . ] ] austin : oh , you 're an amazing wife . you 'll be amazing at whatever .. noah : i could a use card , too , in that direction , myself . faith : go on . summer : all right . faith : what does it say ? summer : well , maybe the city zoo is hiring , 'cause looks i scored zoo keeper . [ laughter ] austin : you 'd actually be great at that . faith : ew . [ chuckling ] it 's your turn . noah : yay . [ wheel clicking ] noah : all right . win 200 life points . faith : you 'll be sitting in a tree k - i - s - s - i - n - g . noah : oh , i 've been doing it wrong this whole time . [ chuckles ] noah : let 's go find a tree . [ laughter ] faith : i 'm thirsty . do you want a juice box ? faith : yeah . austin : oh , i 'll grab it . summer : thank you courtney : i could eat . noah : i 'll hook you up . mom 's always got a full fridge . courtney : i 'll come with . faith : it 'd be cool to be a .. summer : yeah , i just do n't think it 's the job for me . faith : maybe you should just keep picking cards till you find the summer : [ chuckles ] yeah , that 's one way to do it . but sometimes , you ca n't just sit back and wait for things to sometimes things need a little push . austin : hey , summer . summer : i 'll be right back . faith : i know somebody who needs a big push . david : whoa , whoa . what 's he been saying ? in this an ambush ? sharon : no . no , david . i got here early , and then -- avery : mediator 's here . david : great . hi . how are you ? avery : you know the parties , including mr. sherman . david : i am ms . newman 's attorney . be aware -- both parties currently control the child 's welfare . if mediation fails , a judge will determine faith 's future . david : agreed . nick : i am offering to pull back on my demand for sole custody , and i 'm willing to meet sharon halfway . avery : i think that 's a very generous offer from my client . david : on the contrary , mr. newman is resorting to desperate measures . clearly , ms . newman is the one who deserves sole custody here . sharon : no . david . david : she has provided more than enough evidence against mr. newman and his family to win her daughter in court . sharon : david , nick and i talked , and -- nick : sole custody ? are you kidding me ? ! sharon is the one who 's responsible for this . adam : grandmother , of course i 'm your grandson . sage : constance , this is gabriel . you know that . constance : gabriel is waiting . i saw him . adam : you saw me where ? constance : who are you , really ? adam : i 'm gabriel . constance : no . sage : constance , save your strength . constance : you know . sage : [ crying ] i know that gabriel loves you . and after the accident , you needed him to survive . i believe that with all of my heart . constance ? [ crying ] adam : she 's gone . billy : i would never repeat something that kelly said during our grief - support meetings . phyllis : so she is hiding something . billy : oh ... [ chuckles ] jack : phyllis . phyllis : well , how can you keep her secrets ? even a shrink has a duty to break confidentiality when their patient 's being lethal . jack : okay . that 's enough . billy is right . phyllis : you 're siding with him on this ? jack : kelly is not a threat to anyone . phyllis : you think you know everything there is to know about that -- jack : she 's a good person , phyllis . phyllis : why do you keep elevating her to sainthood ? she slept with billy and broke up his marriage . billy : what happened between me and kelly is as much my fault as it is hers . so just ... leave me out of this . jack : are you quite finished with this nonsense ? phyllis : not by a long shot . sharon : i thought that we had turned a corner , nick . nick : i had , but then your attorney blindsided me . sharon : well , i did n't get a - -- nick : you had me thinking we were talking about joint custody , but then you and your lawyer want to take my daughter away from me . sharon : well , nick , you know , i had to have a plan just trying to stay in faith 's life . you were coming at me guns - a - blazin ' . and you know what ? i may have a mental illness , but i 'm treating it . there are many ways that you are a less stable than i am . perhaps we should -- nick : you name one bad thing about me as a parent , just one . sharon : okay , okay . faith ran away on your watch . and not just down the street . she ran all the way to the warehouse district . and then there 's your nightclub . nick : there is nothing illegal going on in my nightclub . sharon : i 'm talking about your hours , nick . the hours that keep you from being home for dinner or tucking faith in . and worst of all , faith has repeatedly said that she hates her daddy . mariah : what is this ? a dagger ? kevin : yes . that is a dagger you see before you . mariah : what are you doing with it ? kevin : the question is what are you doing with it ? mariah : why are you carrying around this thing ? what , are you elk hunting ? kevin : do i look like an elk hunter ? mariah : well , i do n't know . that 's the only reasonable explanation i can come up with for someone carrying around a thing like that . kevin : it 's nothing . forget about it . mariah : it 's something . it 's a weapon . kevin : [ sighs ] all right . you want to know the truth ? it 's some really serious police work -- undercover stuff . mariah : you 're not an undercover cop . kevin : what do you need , mariah ? mariah : i came by because i found out that your past is n't so squeaky clean . and not that i 'm judging , i just wanted you to know that if you 're in trouble , you can talk to me . kevin : why ? so you can make fun of me ? mariah : no . i mean , i ca n't guarantee that i would n't make fun of you , but i wanted you to know that you could talk to me if you were in trouble . kevin : why do you think i 'm in trouble ? mariah : you 're carrying around a foot - long knife . i mean , it looks like the dagger from that plato sphere story , but ... oh , my gosh . [ chuckles ] that 's what this is . `` kingdom beyond `` memorabilia . kevin : i may have gotten it from a guy at that fan event a few weeks ago . mariah : why did n't you tell me ? i totally would have understood . kevin : i kind of like that you did n't know . it made me ... mysterious . mariah : it made you weird . i was worried about you . i thought you were in trouble or something . kevin : well , i have to admit , i kind of like that , too . well , the last time you were here , you and i were looking for a bunny . mariah : [ chuckles ] kevin : this gives me a little bit of an edge . it adds an element of danger to my image . mariah : yeah , it 's not like i was turned on by your dark side . kevin : yes , you were . mariah : no . i was ... i was worried about you . kevin : really ? you were worried about me ? mariah : yes . kevin : wow . that 's even better . mariah : well , now i am gon na make fun of you . [ both laugh ] kevin : i 'll make fun of you right back . mariah : [ laughs ] stitch : call me if you need to talk . kelly : i wo n't need to . billy : stitch . stitch : billy . billy : i , uh -- i spoke with victoria , but is katie -- stitch : no , no , no . yeah . she 's still doing great . you know , slept through the entire night . no more fever or reflux . billy : good . all - night house call , huh ? stitch : i 'll see you around . billy : yeah . hey . i think we should talk . sage : i really do hope that , now , constance is with gabriel . but at the same time ... i would like to believe that she did n't realize that she 'd outlived her grandson . adam : come on . her last look was one of acceptance , not of accusation , sage . sage : i hope you 're right about that . adam : it was really important to her that we have a copy of this will . she , uh , loved her grandson even more than i thought . sage : [ sniffles ] sage : oh , yes . gabriel was everything to her , especially these last few years . she did n't want any hospital wings or monuments named after her . she just -- she just wanted to make gabriel happy . adam : yeah . well , what about you , though ? i mean , you dedicated your life to helping him , and he left you with a - a pittance here . sage : keep looking . i 'm in there . as a matter of fact ... i get half the inheritance . avery : what ms. newman is saying is very misleading . what you describe as faith 's relationship with her father boils down to what any parent could experience on a typical day -- a child who resents not getting her way . while you , sharon -- you are truly guilty of a despicable crime . sharon : a crime ? avery : perpetrated on nick and his daughter summer . sharon : i was n't on my medication . david : no charges were filed . it 's a moot point . nick : moot ? summer suffered because of what sharon did . jack suffered , i suffered , everyone suffered , sharon . david : nevertheless , what sharon did was -- nick : it was a crime . now , i know it was made under mental duress , and you tried to tell me the truth , but that 's when the medication was working and sharon was lucid and in control . but you never did tell me the truth , sharon . why is that ? sharon : because i loved you . nick : it was n't love . it was self - preservation . you ripped summer 's life apart , and then you never did anything to try and fix it . and that 's why we 're here today -- because i will not allow that to happen again . david : okay , okay . the fact remains that none of this -- nick : and the reason faith hates me right now and does n't hate her mommy is because i 've done everything i can to keep my little girl from finding out what sharon did . i have taken the brunt of faith 's anger because i did n't want her to know that her mother hurt her big sister . sharon : okay . clearly this is n't going to work and nick and i ca n't be in the same room together without hurting each other . nick : on that , we agree . mediation is not gon na work . i 'm sorry to hear that . i wish you luck in court . david : thank you . avery : you and your client can show yourselves out . avery : nick , i am so sorry . nick : what does this mean for faith ? avery : the mediator will go and tell the judge the outcome today , and we prepare for a trial . sharon : you went on the attack , and you would n't stop . david : look , no matter what your ex - husband led you to believe , that is not a man who is willing to compromise . sharon : no , but he was . before you got here , nick was -- david : do you want to lose your little girl ? sharon : no . austin : well , you wiped the board with us , courtney . summer : yeah , getting the wedding ring and a million happy life points -- pretty impressive . courtney : yeah . maybe next time we can play a little tamer of a game , though , like cut - throat poker . summer : okay , did you pick up on the weird vibe between my best friend and my brother every time marriage comes up ? austin : yeah , but i do n't think we should butt in to their business . summer : i just feel bad that it 's turned into a thing for them , especially since i 've racked up over a million happy life points being married to you . austin : aww . [ chuckles ] [ smooches ] billy : i heard about your blowout with phyllis . kelly : oh , from jack ? billy : no , from phyllis . my future sister - in - law can be , uh , territorial . kelly : i got the up - close experience of phyllis in full - on bitch mode . billy : [ chuckles ] well , then you understand . kelly : i honestly do n't know how jack puts up with it . billy : hey , uh , um , look , i just -- i want to talk to you as a friend , here . kelly : okay . billy : if you 're still thinking that something could happen with jack ... i think you should forget about it . kelly : did you talk to jack about me ? billy : no , no . this is me speaking from experience . it was just really hard for me to move on and let go from victoria , but ... [ sighs ] i finally did it , and i think you need to make that leap , too . kelly : billy , i can tell you with 100 % certainty that i have let go of jack ... just as much as you 've let go of victoria . billy : right . well , i hope this is a great year for you and that you find happiness . kelly : i expect to . phyllis : you want to believe good things about kelly , and i get that . but that woman is playing games . jack : how do you know that ? phyllis : because i 've played them myself . jack : okay , this is what you 're telling me -- on new year 's eve , a night kelly is in charge of the biggest social event in genoa city , she was busy emptying your gas tank . do you know how absurd this conspiracy theory of yours sounds ? phyllis : jack , you better start taking this seriously , because i saw the look behind kelly 's eyes . hell hath no fury -- jack : oh , she is not a woman scorned . she knows i want what is best for her . phyllis : there is no way she 's through with you or either of us . she will pull something else . jack : you 're wrong . phyllis : fine . refuse to see the signs or heed the warnings . i will find a way to prove it . adam : you get half of the inheritance ? okay , what are you trying to do , blackmail me here ? sage : no . adam : [ chuckles ] if i do n't share the wealth , you 're gon na tell everybody that gabriel bingham is adam newman ? is that the sick game you 're playing ? sage : i 'm not blackmailing you . it 's in the fine print . we share the fortune . what 's yours is mine . the choice has been made for you . i 'm your wife . [ next_on ] dylan : somebody 's got to be in charge . we just need to get a name . we should start with your ex - husband . joe : thank you for a memorable new year 's eve . abby : uh , new year 's eve ? victoria : you want me to draw information out of ben ? do not even go there . no .

[ door closes ] christine : we have been trying to bust luthor fisk for years , and it 's not just about he drugs that he 's moved , but it 's about the bodies he 's piled up along the way . i want this guy stopped and in a cell . dylan : yeah , we all do . that 's why i signed up for this . christine : i just want you to understand what you 've signed up for . less prep time means a great possibility of slip - ups . i ca n't have any slip - ups . dylan : okay , i got it . christine : okay , so you 're derek young , right ? you need to know every name , every date , every word of this guy 's background . you need to know derek young 's identity as well as your own , if not better . if you talk in your sleep , these are the words you 'd say . dylan : okay , then that 's how it 's gon na be . christine : [ sighs ] dylan : what ? are you worried that i 'm not ready for this ? christine : are you ? dylan : are you talking as the d.a . or my father 's wife ? because i 've made it very clear that i am ready for this . so what exactly are you worried about -- me or the case ? christine : you in terms of this case . it takes one second , one moment for you to think about sharon and your life back here , and your cover is blown . dylan : my personal life will not be an issue . sharon : hey , i 'm sorry i did n't see you when we came home last night , but we had an early evening . how was it ? mariah : um , you know , it was an event . please do n't bother looking at pictures , though . it was just a bunch of people with money , spending it . uh , do you want me to pour you some coffee ? you know what , we could go out for breakfast or -- or lunch or we could go for a walk . sharon : wow . everyone 's dresses are so beautiful . oh , and i see chelsea 2.0 in here . that 's always exciting . i 'm sure the event raised a lot of money . mariah : uh , yeah , they auctioned off a tour at a vineyard in france . it went for like a bazillion dollars , so , yeah , it was a success . um , the food was good , too . i probably gained like 5 pounds . so , you know what , i 'm actually gon na turn that walk into a run . sharon : wait . mariah ! what is this about ? hilary was the one who tripped you ? mariah : yeah . she did . it was hazy at the time , what with my battered face and broken memory , but ... hilary did it . she yanked a cord , and i fell like a ton of bricks on live tv . sharon : that 's -- that 's terrible . i mean , that 's so awful . mariah : yeah , she 's the worst . sharon : and somehow she confessed that to the whole world with the help of a teleprompter ? mariah : i repaid a favor . sharon : [ sighs ] what about the fallout ? did you even think about the fallout ? mariah : hilary earned it ! [ scoffs ] if she did n't want people to think that she was a vicious jerk , she should n't have been acting like a vicious jerk ! whatever fallout happens , it 's on her . sharon : i 'm not talking about the fallout on hilary . i 'm talking about you . did you think about how this would affect you ? hilary : devon . devon ! devon ! devon ! [ sighs ] [ doorbell rings ] neil : hey . i want to talk to devon . he 's not answering my calls . hilary : well , he has other things to deal with right now . neil : i 'm worried about him , too . hilary : do n't be . he 's fine . everything 's fine . victoria : yep . well , jamison 's mom has both the kids , so if you do n't mind picking them up , that 'd be great . yeah , i left both car seats with her . thank you , hannah . reed ! [ sighs ] reed ! reed : what ? victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry , was i bothering you ? reed : it 's cool . victoria : no -- [ sighs ] i was being facetious . look , never mind . i spoke with your father . reed : okay . [ sighs ] victoria : last night , after the police showed up here on our doorstep because you ... did n't pay the bus fare , and you got kicked off the bus . reed : i told you it was an accident . victoria : yeah , but you also told me that your father knew you were visiting me . and j.t . had no idea , reed . he was worried sick . he called half of your friends in d.c . reed : i bet he was n't worried enough to give you a heads up , though . victoria : yeah , because it did n't occur to him that you physically left town . i mean , what are you doing ? what are you trying to accomplish with this stunt ? reed : i thought it was obvious . i want to live here , mom . i want to live with you . victoria : here . you need your vitamin c. i can only imagine what you ate on that bus . so drink . reed : i 'm not thirsty . victoria : [ sighs ] when i called your father to let him know that you were okay , he told me about the move to warsaw for work . reed : now ? he told you now ? i mean , considering you have visitation , do n't you think it should have come up sooner ? victoria : you 're not an adult , okay ? so you have to go wherever the custodial parent goes . it 's just the law . reed : it 's halfway across the world . and -- [ scoffs ] what about my school and my friends ? and , mom , i 'd be further from you . but , i mean , evidently , you 're fine with that . victoria : oh , stop . [ doorbell rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] just stay there . all right ? reed : where else would i go ? victoria : [ sighs ] oh . billy : hey . victoria : you know what , now 's not really the greatest time . billy : oh , come on , i just wanted to come and check out the midnight rambler . how you doing , reed ? reed : hey . uh , you want some orange juice ? billy : yeah . orange juice . victoria : oh , billy , we 're a little busy right now . billy : oh , you 're not that busy . he just got into town . i did n't get to catch up with you . how is everything ? reed : [ sighs ] my life kinda sucks right now . hilary : devon will call you when he is ready . neil : i want to hear that from him . hilary : now is n't the time . neil : this wo n't take long . hilary : i just said -- neil : and i already told you that i want to talk to him . hilary : leave it alone , neil ! neil : you two -- you were fighting all night , were n't you ? hilary : no . we did n't fight at all because ... he did n't come home . neil : no text ? no call ? hilary : and , you know , i just -- i keep thinking ... after everything that we 've been through ... this is it ? that ridiculous stunt that mariah pulled . that is what destroys us ? neil : this is about what you did , not mariah . hilary : well , if he had listened to me , i could have explained . neil : that you 're every bit as vicious and petty as people say you are ? you deliberately tripped that girl . hilary : no , no , it was n't -- it was like that ! neil : you have n't denied that you tripped because you ca n't , can you ? hilary : you know what , mariah can give it just as good as she can take it , or if not worse . considering what she did to your foundation , you should be there ripping into her , but no . mnh - mnh . instead , you 're here , blaming everything on me . everything that you and jack worked for , she put that in jeopardy just to play the victim ! neil : the foundation will survive just fine . hilary : yeah , well , no thanks to mariah because all she cares about is herself . neil : are you listening to yourself right now ? do you hear what you 're saying ? hilary : you 're right . all i care about is myself . but i care about my husband just as much , and i thanks to mariah , he ran off , so excuse me , but i need to find him . neil : maybe he does n't want to be found . did you think of that ? maybe you pushed him away too far this time ! hilary : devon , just pick up . pick up the damn phone . christine : keep personal information to a minimum . fisk 's men will have heard of you by now . we 've been floating an alias for a while , knowing eventually we 'd put in someone undercover . untraceable . let 's hope you do n't have to use it . kevin : you wanted to see me ? christine : yeah . close the door . kevin 's your contact . he is the only one you 'll be talking to with law enforcement . kevin : i set up a secure line if i need to reach you or if you need to reach me . you have the burners , right ? dylan : yeah , i got it . use the burner phones once and get rid of them . kevin : do n't just get rid of them . drive over them with your car , pick up the pieces , and toss them in a swamp . dylan : okay , what if i need more phones ? christine : we hope to not have you in that long . your risk escalates every day you 're undercover . kevin : if you need more , we 'll deal with it then , but each of these is loaded with a recording device that 's voice - activated . learn how to use it before you need it . dylan : so i 'm not wearing a wire ? christine : too risky . fisk has survived this long because he is smart , and the people that are around him are very loyal . dylan : okay , you know , a new buyer like me 's gon na have to pass inspection . christine : so you need to get close with his lieutenant . his name is alex dettmer . okay , now , we do n't know much about him . we do know he 's the gatekeeper . so if you can get past him , you 'll probably get a meeting with fisk . dylan : i 'll do whatever it takes to earn his trust . kevin : so that 's it ? he 's out of here today ? dylan : the sooner we get in position , the sooner we get this guy . christine : if this goes south , get out of there . dylan : feds have been going after fisk for years , right ? if i blow my cover , how long before somebody else gets close to him again ? christine : that 's not the point . dylan : no , that is the point . because if we do n't nail him , there 's gon na be more drugs , more drug addicts , and more body bags . christine : dylan , do not take any unnecessary risks . that 's an order . one of those body bags is not gon na be you . mariah : it 's not like i did this just for revenge . sharon : oh , really ? exposing hilary at a fundraiser was n't an attempt to destroy her publicly ? mariah : hilary is a human cockroach -- nothing can destroy her . i did a public service . she has pulled a million nasty tricks and gotten away with it . she turned gc buzz into trash tv . sharon : gc buzz was already trash before hilary got there . mariah : well , that 's why devon bought it , so he could turn it into something different , something less disgusting . but hilary 's ego fed on every internet comment . she got down and rolled around in the dirt , cackling the whole time . sharon : cackling ? mariah : yeah , you did n't see her at work . the way that she gorged on the nastiness . it was like a zombie with brains . you saw what she did to dylan 's interview , the way she sliced it and diced it to make everybody look bad . sharon : which is why you left . that 's why you quit . you walked away from the show . mariah : yes , but devon pulled me back in . he told that hilary was n't gon na be a part of it anymore . and because i had the nerve to sit in her chair and do her job , she sabotaged me . sharon , i could have fallen and hit my head on a blunt object and bled out . sharon : mariah , do you hear yourself ? you were better than her . until you were n't . mariah : i was really supposed to let her get away with everything that she 's done to this family . to you , to me , to dylan . sharon : well , dylan does n't need you to fight his battles for him , and for you to sink to her level ... mariah : devon needed to know what his wife was capable of . sharon : devon 's married to hilary . i think he 's seen her at her best and her worst . his marriage is his decision . mariah : devon did n't have all the information . now he does . sharon : what do you think he 's gon na do with that information ? thank you for making this very personal issue now public ? mariah : sharon , i can not believe that you are fighting me on this . hilary attacked me with a lighting cord ! sharon : i know . it was a terrible thing . it was cruel , it was dangerous , and -- mariah : thank you ! finally ! sharon : well , i know that you wanted to fight back . i understand that . but i 'm not gon na tell you that you went about it the right way . i ca n't . just because one person acts like a senseless idiot does n't mean i 'm gon na give you a pass to do the same thing ! reed : and this is completely out of the blue . mid school year . `` hey , family . let 's all move to warsaw . no big deal . `` and mom agrees . nbd . victoria : oh , of course , i know it 's a big deal , all right ? but it 's also an incredible opportunity , living in a different environment , traveling , being multi - lingual . reed : yeah , and that 's better than being in my own school , in my own country , on the same continent as my own mother ? victoria : i understand , all right ? i do . but it 's just -- it 's a little more complicated than that . i mean , is there a girl you do n't want to leave , is it friends , is it sports ? i mean , just what is this about , honey ? reed : maybe one big move in my life is enough . here to d.c. ? victoria : all right . i get that . but running away is just reckless and it 's thoughtless . it 's just not like you at all . reed : maybe i am reckless and thoughtless , but you ca n't say that because you do n't know me . victoria : oh , come on . that 's not fair . reed : not anymore . victoria : hey ! reed , where are you going ? reed : going for a walk . but , do n't worry , i 'm not leaving the state . victoria : [ sighs ] sharon : and that mattered to you . a lot . mariah : yeah . i guess that 's all true . so , what , you think he 's gon na hate me now ? i do n't know . maybe you 're right . maybe he will . maybe i have just screwed up the only job i 've ever been proud of , maybe i 've lost a friend , maybe the internet thinks i 'm a joke . but what i do know is hilary was toxic . she used and lied to devon . and i feel like he needed to know the truth . sharon : tell me the truth about what you did , exactly . it said a teleprompter online ? but what does that mean ? you scripted her dialogue ? mariah : i wrote the truth . hilary tripped me and she read it out loud for the entire room . as a result , she made a confession that she never would have made on her own . [ laughing ] it was beautiful . sharon , you should have seen the faces -- look . if i had told devon myself , in person , hilary would have just lied her way out of it again . `` oh , baby . mariah 's just jealous . let 's go to the hot tub and make out . `` sharon : but as far as you know , devon and hilary have already made up again . and the only person who 's gon na get hurt by this is you . hilary : you 're just waiting for my marriage to fall apart . you 're waiting for devon to turn on me . as it was n't enough that you locked me up in a boathouse . oh , because , i guess i survived . i got better . and i made a life with the man that i love . your son . so , you want me to suffer . you want me to lose him , too . neil : hey . you know damn well that is n't what i want . i want my son to be happy . like he has been with you at times . you know there 's been a hell of a lot of drama in this family , and you have generated most of it . hilary , look around you . look ! look at all this stuff ! devon gave you everything that 's in here . hilary : he knows that i want to work , that i want to pave my own way , and he respects that . and -- that is exactly what drives you and lily crazy ! devon is his own man , okay ? and he never caves for either one of you ! neil : you forget that i know you better than most people . i know your history . losing your mother the way you did , the mistakes you made because of it , the mistakes that people forgave you for ! hilary : people forgave me ? you mean people like lily ? neil : other people ! other people gave you a second chance ! hilary : [ chuckles ] wow ! you know who else got a second chance , neil ? neil : who ? hilary : you ! neil : [ scoffs ] yeah . hilary : [ laughing ] yeah , i almost died because of you ! but your son protected you ! you are free because of the decisions that devon and i made ! so do n't you dare stand there and be self - righteous with me ! neil : come on ! more anger ! that 's it ! be angry at me ! be angry at the world . but you know something , lady ? my son is out there somewhere because of you . because you went too far . and this might be it . yeah , you might have lost the best thing that ever happened in your life ! stitch : talk to me . what do we got ? male . 28 . air - lifted from a car crash . in and out of consciousness . multi contusions . no apparent fractures . his i.d . says devon hamilton . devon : help ! help me ! we got someone still in the car ! devon : [ grunts ] can you hear me ? we got you now . we 're gon na get you out of here , buddy . stitch : all right , move him with the monitors for ct scanning on the way to surgery . type and cross him for two units of packed cells and hold them till his blood work is back . get him into surgery , now ! hilary : why are you still here ? neil : because my son still is n't answering his phone . is that okay ? hilary : well , you need to leave ! because devon 's gon na be home any minute , and this is between us . neil : hey . my son has unlimited resources . he could be halfway across the world right now , or he could be down the street in a bar getting drunk because of you . hilary : he 's not you , neil . neil : no , he 's not . he 's his own man . a good man that you might have finally pushed to the limit . you could have seriously injured someone that he cares about . that was a vicious , petty thing that you did to her . hilary : okay , okay , okay . it was a dumb thing to do . i should n't have done it . i wish i had n't . but devon , he is -- he 's gon na be home soon . and if he is across the world , then he will call me and i will go to him , and we will work everything out like we always do . and it 's between us , neil . so , if you 'll excuse me , i have a show to keep on the air . neil : you 're going to work ? hilary : yeah , devon re - hired me to host `` gc buzz , `` so that 's exactly what i 'm gon na do . neil : of course you are . you risked your marriage for that job . hilary : [ sighs ] neil : hey , lady . you better hold onto it . looks like you might need it . hilary : [ scoffs ] [ cell phone rings ] hilary : hello ? yeah , this is she . what happened ? when ? okay , i - i 'll be right there . neil : what 's going on ? what happened ? hilary : devon was in a car accident . we -- we need to go . neil : what ? ! billy : they grow up fast . one minute it 's water blasters , and the next , they 're running away from home , freaking out the entire family . victoria : it 's horrible . billy : in the grand scheme of things , he came running back to you , not los angeles or some other place , and considering it does n't snow there , that 's pretty good . victoria : that 's not the point , okay ? and you 're not his step - father anymore . billy : no , i 'm not , but that does n't mean i do n't care about that kid . i 'm not gon na cut him loose just because i was a lousy husband to you . come on , i can help you with this , all right ? you do n't have to deal with it on your own . victoria : yeah , because i -- i ca n't handle my own son . so , please , billy , please help me . billy : okay , how upset at me are you gon na be , on a scale of 1 to 10 ? because , right now , it feels like about a 12 , and i 'm actually on your side . victoria : no , you 're not . you 're interfering in a personal thing between me and my son , and you do n't get a vote , anyway . billy : okay . all right . no opinion . i 'm just gon na be a sounding board . no opinion . but i do have a question . what is so bad about reed being here ? he 's your son . you hated the fact that j.t . got custody , and now he 's back . you two can be together . victoria : yeah . sure . but j.t . has custody , you know ? and we ca n't just go around breaking the rules whenever we want . billy : like me ? are you saying we 're alike ? victoria : oh , god forbid . billy : okay , i 'm gon na ignore that part , and i 'm gon na be serious for one second . i know what it 's like to be an afterthought in the family of origin . victoria : well , reed is not an afterthought . billy : did j.t . tell you that they were gon na move to warsaw ? and i 'm assuming that he expected reed to just go along with the plan . come on , vick . the kid is in high school . in his mind , he 's 10 minutes away from being an adult . he 's gon na spread his wings , and he needs a safe place to land , and that 's with you here , in this home . right now , you can be everything that that kid needs . victoria : you think i do n't want that ? i did n't like it when j.t . took him away from me . i hated it . i 'm like a visitor in my own son 's life . i mean , i -- reed is not an adult , so he ca n't make these decisions . he -- he got on a bus here without any money to get here . billy : yeah . victoria : i mean , what was he thinking ? and what if something happened to him ? i mean , none of us would have known if we did n't know -- we did n't know where he was . billy : you 're scared , okay ? i understand that . i get that . but he 's here . and he 's safe . and he needs his mom . i think you should be there for him . victoria : yeah , well , you 're not being a sounding board . you 're injecting yourself into the situation because -- [ sighs ] because you -- you care about reed . billy : i do n't think this is about me caring about reed . i think this is about us getting a little bit too close last night . so let 's talk about that , okay ? let 's deal with that . let 's talk about what happened last night . sharon : will you slow down and talk to me ? mariah : so you can describe in great detail about hilary and devon making up and how i 'm gon na be on the outside looking in . well , news flash -- that 's the story of my life . sharon : [ groans ] mariah . hey . how many times have you talked me down , made me see reality ? how many times you have tried to stop me from acting impulsively ? i 'm just trying to do that for you . mariah : i know . but you 're too late . i already did it . and no matter how stupid it was , i just felt like i had to do something . i could n't let hilary get away with what she did to me . sharon : okay . next time someone hurts you , and there will be a next time in this world , just stop and think and then decide . mariah : you 're right . sharon : mm , for once . mariah : more than once . all right . no more hugging . i got to head out . but first , i 'm gon na give patches an apple because then maybe somebody will think i 'm a good person . sharon : you are a good person . mariah : yeah , yeah . sharon : okay , stay warm ! i 'll see you later . mariah : see you . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : so ? dylan : i leave today . sharon : no ! no ! today is too soon ! dylan : the assignment is time - sensitive . sharon : why ? where are you going ? dylan : sharon , you know i ca n't tell you for your own security . sharon : what about your security ? how do i know that you 're okay , that you 're safe ? who 's gon na look out for you ? dylan : it 's just how the job works . that 's all . sharon : let somebody else do it , dylan . please . please do n't go . hilary : devon hamilton . do you know where -- he 's in surgery . neil : surgery ? hilary : is he gon na be okay ? neil : what 's happening ? stitch : i got this . hilary : what the hell happened ? what 's -- what 's happened ? stitch : there was a car accident . devon was unconscious when they brought him in . his condition is serious . we 'll know more once his surgery progresses . they have to find the source of internal bleeding and fix it . neil : where was he found ? stitch : county highway , just outside bristol . neil : what the hell was he doing out there ? stitch : we 'll ask him that when he recovers . but he clearly was going at elevated speeds . troopers think it was 140 . hilary : 140 miles an hour ? stitch : lots of icy spots on the roads . he careened off the road , and here we are . but now , it 's up to the surgeon and to devon . but he 's alive . he 's young , he 's tough , and we 're doing everything we can . neil : he never should have been in that car . [ cell phone chimes ] stitch : it 's devon 's or . hilary : oh , my god . dylan : i 'm gon na be careful . i 'm gon na be cautious . it 's okay . i 'm not afraid . sharon : you know , that 's what worries me , is that you 're not afraid . you 're not terrified . it 's like you 're numb . dylan : well , maybe it 's just because i 've been there before . sharon : or maybe you just need a distraction . you need to get away from this place , christian being yards away and yet seemingly in another world at the same time . you know , when nick brought christian over here for christmas ... dylan : it 's just work . sharon : ... and then he said that there would be no more visits like this , i think your heart broke all over again . dylan : i 'm not thinking about anything except for getting this bad guy off the streets . sharon : because that 's what happened to me , too . my heart broke all over again , too . dylan , if you 're taking this assignment and you 're taking this risk because the pain is just too much ... find another way to deal with it , please . dylan : nick made his decision , and i ca n't do anything about that . but i can take this assignment . i can do my job . i can protect civilians . i can make the world a little cleaner and a little safer . i have to do this right now . i have to . victoria : oh , my gosh . it 's gon na leave a ring ! i hate rings . billy : that 's an excellent evasion technique because i know you do n't want to talk about the kiss last night . victoria : [ sighs ] what kiss ? billy : well , the almost - kiss . victoria : almost is not a kiss , okay ? billy : it would have led to a kiss if reed did n't show up with his armed guard . we would have ended up on the couch here , waking up the neighbors . victoria : that is ridiculous . billy : am i ridiculous ? well , probably . but am i wrong ? not so much . victoria : yes , because you 're just so irresistible . billy : not to everyone . but you 're not everyone . okay , do i have to describe one of the most exhilarating , exciting , exhausting nights of my life ? victoria : nobody wants to hear about jamaica again , okay , billy ? billy : [ clears throat ] i can feel the energy . i can hear the sound . the tingling thrill of excitement . victoria : god , stop it . that 's so inappropriate . billy : what 's wrong with talking about the good days ? no , no , let me be honest . the fantastic , the great days . victoria : billy . billy : you know what i 'm talking about , do n't you ? victoria : no , actually , i do not know what you 're talking about . billy : that night that we stayed up all night at the arcade . victoria : what ? billy : you remember . you wanted me so bad . you wanted to beat me so bad . badly ? both of them . and you tried . victoria : i hate you . billy : that 's exactly what you said that night , but you did n't mean it . and you cheated . victoria : how could i cheat on a video game ? that 's not how it even works ! billy : well , maybe not for most people , but you 're not most people . victoria : i did not cheat , okay , but go ahead , go on . hang onto your sliver of your damaged male pride . billy : pride ? pride ? no , no , no . these are skills , babe . victoria : yeah , you have mad skills , do n't you ? billy : furious skills , and you know it . we have chemistry , vick . you know that . and that does n't just go away . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : where are you going ? victoria : away from you , okay ? away from this whole thing . i do n't want it anymore , billy . take my word for it . i do n't want to go backwards again . [ door opens ] victoria : oh ! hey ! there he is ! reed : it 's freezing out there . billy : yeah , welcome to wisconsin in january . reed : i 'm sorry . i should n't have taken off from d.c. and scared dad . i should n't have lied to you . basically , i apologize for everything i 've done the last 48 hours . victoria : thank you . reed : mom , i do n't want to go back . and i definitely do n't want to go to poland . i want to hang out with you and katie and johnny , and i just -- i want to stay . victoria : all right . i 'll talk to your dad , okay ? reed : please talk . he 'll say yes to you . he will . victoria : [ sighs ] reed : i love you , mom . victoria : i love you , too . hilary : i did n't follow him . if i had , if i had -- [ scoffs ] if i had found him , if he had n't been ... if he had n't spent the night in some ditch somewhere . you . you stopped me . you 're the reason why i did n't go . neil : oh , yeah ? oh , yeah , that 's rich . you want to pin this on me . you do , do n't you ? pretend like you did n't chase him away with all your smoke and mirrors ? you 're petty , you 're low , he saw it and he ran . hilary : okay , just stop it . stop ! okay ? he needs us . he needs me , and i -- god knows i need him . oh , my god , if anything happens to him , i ca n't -- if something happens ... he has to be okay . neil : i understand . i understand . hilary : [ sobs ] neil : i understand . sharon : it 's like last time you went away . when you were testifying in that trial . only this time , you 're not gon na be able to call me . and this time , you 're not just waiting to go into a courtroom . you 're hanging out with dangerous criminals . so it 's actually nothing the same at all . you know , if you could just call me every so often -- dylan : i ca n't . i ca n't . i ca n't . it 's for your own safety . there 's no contact allowed . sharon : well , what am i gon na tell faith ? dylan : [ exhales sharply ] well , just , uh , tell her i had to go to work , that i 'm sorry i did n't get a chance to say goodbye , and that i love her . always . and i 'll be thinking of her , and i 'll be thinking of both of you . sharon : what ? dylan . do n't . i know you ca n't wear it when you 're on assignment , but you can just keep it in your pocket or something , so there 's part of me that 's with you . dylan : you 'll always be with me . just keep it safe for me , okay ? sharon : dylan . tell me that you 'll be back soon . tell me that you 're coming home . [ next_on ] victor : reed suddenly shows up on your doorstep ? what 's going on ? lily : it is because of you that he was in that car ! if he does n't make it through , it is on you !

victoria : well , i needed to confide in someone . cane : okay , but you told the last person i would trust with my personal business . billy : this is n't about you , cane . this is about her . she has a right to talk to whoever she wants . cane : okay , that might be , but , you know , i was trying to protect my family . i know that 's a foreign concept to you . billy : that 's actually rich coming from you . cane : it 's really important to me , you know , family , that we keep things between us . billy : well , victoria and i trust each other , and she knows that she can tell me anything , right , vick ? victoria : right . right . but you do n't have to worry because i do n't want people knowing our private business , either . cane : good . good , good . so , uh , we 're on the same page , right ? victoria : oh , indeed . cane : yeah . victoria : i 'll walk you out . billy : hold on a second . what did you two decide about reed and charlie ? cane : um , that i 'm gon na go and talk to charlie . victoria : yeah , billy and i are gon na talk it over , as well . cane : that 's a good idea . victoria : yeah . cane : okay . all right . billy : is it just me , or is something going on with him ? kyle : hey . lola : hey . kyle : good day ? lola : busy . kyle : people love your food . lola : if you came back for a sandwich , i -- kyle : i came back to explain . about what you walked in on between fen and me . lola : okay , well , i have to finish cleaning up here , and then i have to start prepping for tomorrow . kyle : ca n't you stop for a minute ? lola : no , not if i want to make a living . kyle : fine . i 'll wipe while i talk . lola : have you ever cleaned a table before ? kyle : i 'm trying , lola ! lola : yeah , well , you missed a spot right there . kyle : look ! i know we 're a million worlds apart right now , but that does n't change the way i feel about you . i -- the last couple days have sucked . damn it . not the right words . i want to hear what you 're saying , understand where i went wrong so i never , ever do it again . what i 'm trying to say is ... please , just give me a chance . cane : charlie ! will you come in the kitchen , please ? charlie ! charlie : hey , hey , what 's up ? cane : where 's your sister ? charlie : the library . where else ? cane : good , because you and i need to have a conversation . charlie : um , all right . about what ? cane : about nikki newman 's accident . charlie : okay . cane : okay . i know you were in the car with reed the night that nikki was hit . charlie : how do you -- cane : because victoria told me , because reed confessed ! cane : look , dad , i can explain . cane : what ? you can explain what ? how you lied to everybody about this ? charlie : i hated keeping quiet . cane : then why did you do it ? charlie : i do n't know ! cane : you do n't know ? okay . do you realize how many bad decisions you 've made here ? first , there was the drinking , then there was letting someone with a suspended driver 's license take you around , and then you leave the scene of an accident . how could you do this after what happened to hilary ? how could you leave a woman for dead on the side of the road ? ! billy : you sure you do n't want something stronger ? victoria : no . i have to keep a clear head . billy : cane got to you , did n't he ? victoria : it 's just awkward . all of this bad blood over juliet and brash & sassy , and now cane and i have to work together to protect our sons , and ... billy : i hope i did n't make things worse . victoria : uh , no , the tension between cane and me has nothing to do with you . there 's just so much going on with mom and reed . he left this morning , and he has n't checked in with me at all . billy : should i go look for him ? victoria : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] oh , no need . he 's at a friend 's . he 's not gon na be late . billy : well , that 's one piece of good news today . victoria : what do you mean ? is there bad news ? billy : you have n't heard . victoria : no , i haven't . is it mom ? billy : no . no , your mom 's fine , but it 's your dad . he 's been charged with j.t . 's murder . victoria : that 's impossible . he 's innocent . billy : look , it 's gon na be all right , vick . victoria : [ sighs ] i wish that were true , but it 's not . mariah : oh , abby -- abby : oh , no , you don't . mariah : excuse me ? abby : i saw your lame attempt at reporting . mariah : just because you did n't like the news , abby ... abby : it was garbage . congratulations . it took you less than six months to take gc buzz lower than hilary ever did . you made an innocent man look like a murderer . mariah : innocent ? really ? victor ? and , by the way , i never said that he was guilty . i was just reporting that he was arrested for murder , which he was . abby : and then handed the mic to a detective who 's trying to pin the crime on him . you only told the cop 's side of the story . how is that fair reporting ? mariah : i tried to talk to victor . i was n't allowed to see him since he does n't have a lawyer . abby : well , then you should n't have reported anything , especially should n't have reported lies . mariah : i reported the facts ! abby : you twisted them . just like the cops did to try and make my dad look guilty . [ scoffs ] he did n't kill j.t . someone else did . but you do n't care . all you care about is getting the big story . mariah : i was just doing my job . abby : well , a good reporter tries to uncover the truth . but you do n't care about that . all you care about is ratings , and crucifying victor newman -- wow , that 's a ratings gold mine for your pathetic little show . mariah : you know what , i am sure victor will have the chance to defend himself . abby : thanks to you , he 's already been tried in the court of public opinion . [ scoffs ] and , meanwhile , someone else , the real killer is getting off scot- free . mariah : you know what , abby , it 's not my job to solve this murder , okay ? it 's the police 's job . abby : you know what you 're doing is wrong . and when this is over , my dad will make you pay for that . every day , people are fighting type 2 diabetes with food , `` the young and the restless `` will continue . kyle : i know we come from different backgrounds , but i really want to understand the kind of life you 've had , what makes you the way you are , why you reacted the way you did . lola : you know , maybe you should take a closer look at yourself instead of putting me under a microscope . kyle : i did n't mean for it to sound like that . i 'm just trying to figure out where i went wrong , why what i did , to upset you so much -- lola : it 's not that hard to get ! kyle : okay , okay . you grew up with your values . they make sense to you . lola : and they do n't to you . kyle : no . i mean , yes . i 'm saying all the wrong things , but ... i really want to get this right . if you 'll just give me a chance ... lola : you know , you 're just making this so much more complicated than it already is . kyle : okay , you do n't like expensive things because they 're a waste of your hard - earned money . i get that . but i can afford to buy them for you . are you really gon na punish me for that ? lola : wow . you just have really no clue where i 'm coming from . kyle : and fen does ? fen : hey . good afternoon , guys . here 's a menu . so , we have some specials today . mariah : the last thing in the world that i need is a run - in with that guy . tessa : fen ? what did he do ? mariah : i 'm just sick of the 1 % . even the ones who pretend like they have to wait tables to make a living . tessa : okay . do you want to talk about it ? mariah : i had a run - in with abby at the police station , and she took the opportunity to give me some very constructive criticism . tessa : what , did she not like your off - brand designer shoes ? mariah : no , she did n't like my reporting . tessa : oh , the story you did on victor . mariah : mm - hmm . `` garbage `` she called it , actually . tessa : wow , i mean , dude 's her dad . you ca n't really be surprised that she 's defending him . mariah : no , but she ripped me to shreds in the process . tessa : well , i 'm sorry that you had to deal with the brunt of her anger , but , knowing you , you clapped back . mariah : as much as i could , but she 's not wrong . tessa : you were just doing your job . mariah : that 's what i keep telling myself . tessa : okay , no , i saw that broadcast . there was no malicious intent in it . you were just reporting a story . mariah : yeah , but it 's not the whole story . you know ? i helped put a lie out there . tessa : rey made the arrest , not you . mariah : yeah , but you and i both know who really killed j.t . , and it was n't victor . abby : i do n't care what your boss says , i want to see my father ! rey : okay , okay . i got this . abby : you 've made a big mistake . rey : i was gon na say the same thing . verbally assaulting a police officer usually does n't end well for the person doing it . abby : i 'm not in the mood for jokes . rey : it was a friendly warning . dial down the moral outrage . abby : my father is not a murderer ! rey : well , that 's up for a jury to decide . abby : this is a mockery of justice ! i want to see my father ! rey : he 's not allowed any visitors yet . abby : you 're really not gon na let me see him ? rey : not until he 's fully processed . abby : what -- what , you think i 'm an accomplice ? is that really what you think of the woman who 's seeing your brother ? rey : i did n't say that . abby : look , please -- please , i -- i just want to see my father . i want to make sure he 's okay . i -- i want to let him know that i 'm here for him . rey : a few minutes . that 's all . come on . victor : hi , my sweetheart . abby : dad . victor : hi , my sweetheart . cane : so you had no idea that reed hit someone that night ? charlie : mnh - mnh . i was so messed up that shauna broke up with me , and then by the time i got to the car , you know , i was drinking . i could n't think or see clearly . cane : [ sighs ] oh , man , i should have kept a closer eye on you . charlie : no , dad , this is n't your fault . cane : [ sighs ] why did n't you come and talk to me about this ? charlie : because i thought the alcohol would make things better . cane : okay . charlie : it just made things worse . i could n't even drive my car . cane : reed should not have been driving that car with a suspended license , buddy . charlie : he was just trying to keep me out of trouble . cane : okay , and i bet he regrets that decision now . charlie : when he found out it was his grandmother that we hit , he was sick ! if we had any idea , we would have stopped and called an ambulance . we did n't find out it was mrs . newman until later . cane : victoria said that reed wanted to come forward and confess but you talked him out of it . is this true ? charlie : i kept thinking about what happened to mom and i panicked . cane : [ sighs ] all right , okay , you were scared . i understand . i do . charlie : i just -- i did n't want our family to go through something like that again , i -- cane : okay . charlie : god , i wish i could go back and erase that whole night ! you must hate me . cane : no . no . no , no , no . i do n't hate you . i do n't hate you . charlie : i keep going over and over it . i mean , how did we not see mrs . newman ? how did we not know it was a person that we hit ? cane : all right , okay . charlie : we left her there . cane : it was n't intentional , okay ? you did n't do this intentionally . charlie : what does that matter ? it does n't make a difference . if mrs . newman dies , how am i supposed to live with that ? hy - a - luronic acid dental insurance . many employers do n't offer it . medicare does n't include it . and people who work for themselves often do n't consider it . but with humana you can still have it . starting at just $ 17 a month . that 's less than 60 cents a day . call today for a free quote . with a humana dental plan you 'll get 100 % coverage for in - network preventive care such as oral exams , cleanings , and x - rays . plus , you 'll save on fillings , crowns and other dental procedures . and you ca n't be turned down because of age or pre - existing conditions . with a large network of dentists and specialists and a variety of affordable plans , you 're sure to find one to fit your family 's needs and budget . plus , humana has vision plans too . with coverage for exams , eye glasses , and more . how much could you save ?

ms. no boundaries with other women 's men abby newman ? mariah : [ scoffs ] tessa : and she 's all `` rah , rah `` for her dad now , but did n't she try to sue him for , like , a billion dollars ? mariah : actually , half - a - billion . tessa : oh . mariah : but none of that makes me a less horrible person . i 'm a fake , tessa . no , i -- i am . tessa : okay . mariah : i pretend to be this nice , funny person . i 'm always making jokes . but the truth is , i hide behind my humor . and i use it to say things that are the opposite of nice . and i think i 've become this person that does n't care what her words mean , and maybe that 's who i always was . & tessa : okay , you are being way too hard on yourself . mariah : what i said today hurt abby . we 're not friends . we do n't even really like each other , but it still feels lousy . tessa : i wish you would n't beat yourself up like this . mariah : if i do n't , i 'm never gon na change . and i need to . i have to . you know , i do n't like saying it , but there are people out there that look up to me . my audience ... faith ... and i have to better for them . tessa : so what are you gon na do , go on gc buzz and tell everyone that you know victor 's innocent , that you know who really killed j.t . ? mariah : [ sighs ] that would be a relief , yeah . you know ? this -- this secret is destroying so many people 's lives . and i wish i could just tell the truth and get it off my chest . tessa : okay . well , do n't light me on fire for saying this , but , if you do , your mom 's probably gon na get arrested as an accessory to murder . mariah : i just wish there was a way to prove that j.t . 's death was in self- defense . i mean , maybe rey could do that . tessa : no . he would toss victoria , phyllis , nikki , and sharon into a cell and throw away the key . mariah : there are no good choices here . tessa : well , i mean , if it makes you feel better , you 've told me victor 's committed crimes , and maybe he did n't kill j.t . , but maybe he deserves to be in jail . mariah : that is such a warped sense of justice . tessa : yeah , well , you know the way that rey does his job . someone is gon na go down for j.t . 's murder , and better victor than your mom , hmm ? abby : this is ridiculous . victor : i know . abby : denying you bail ? i mean , do they really think you 're gon na try to escape ? yes , you were on a private jet trying to leave the country when rey found you , but ... you would n't try to do that again . victor : you know , if the jury were made up of 12 people like you , i would n't have to worry about these inane charges . abby : you should n't have to worry about it at all . victor : how 'd you get by this ambitious detective out here ? abby : i 'm not gon na let him push me around . victor : that 's my girl . abby : i 've been so worried about you . victor : it 's temporary , okay ? abby : but this is n't right . you should n't be in here . it 's not good for you . it 's not good for your health . victor : sweetheart , i 'm all right . but i 'm worried about you . abby : i 'm okay . victor : how about the new restaurant that you 're opening ? i mean , this bad publicity may affect your business . abby : how 'd you know about that ? victor : what do you mean ? even though i 'm not around , i do n't care about what 's going on with my children ? abby : even though i left newman ? victor : i will never stop caring about you . tessa : looks like he could use a friend . mariah : what are you looking at me for ? tessa : well , you said you wanted to be a better person . here 's your chance . i 'm off job hunting . i 'll see you soon . mariah : hey . fen : hey . mariah : you look like you 're having as bad of a day as i am . fen : i have had better . mariah : what are you working on ? fen : uh , my music , which is going nowhere fast , just like the rest of my life . mariah : whoa . what happened to that cocky guy that i ran into at crimson lights a few weeks ago ? fen : have you ever done something really stupid that you just , i do n't know , wish you could take back ? mariah : one or two million times , yeah . fen : yeah . yeah , you know , sometimes i wish i could just [ sighs ] keep my big mouth shut . mariah : actually , i 'm currently working on the same thing , as well . if you have n't noticed , i tend to go a little bit overboard on the snark . fen : ahh . you 're not planning on changing that , are you ? i mean , that 's -- that 's kind of your currency . mariah : yeah , but it 's hard to buy stuff when nobody 's interested in what you 're selling . so , my advice -- why do n't you tone it down a little bit , as for a do - over ? fen : you think ? mariah : it certainly ca n't hurt . fen : you 're right . it can't . oh , um ... thank you . kyle : of all the stupid things i 've said today , that one was the stupidest . lola : hope that means you know that my breaking up with you had nothing to do with fen . kyle : you 're mad that i spent so much on that purse . lola : i am so frustrated because you do n't understand why it upsets me ! kyle : i want to ! i do ! if you 'll just explain it -- lola : no , i thought you knew me . god , i thought you knew me well enough to realize that a gift that expensive would make me extremely uncomfortable . kyle : because you ca n't afford to buy me things like that . lola : that 's part of it . kyle : the other part ? go ahead . say it . lola : i do n't want to be with someone who uses their money to show me how much they care . kyle : wow . okay . well , i asked for it . lola : i 'm sorry , that 's just how i feel . kyle : no . no , no , no . i want you to be honest with me . i want to do the same for you . lola : go for it . kyle : growing up ... it was mostly just me and my mom . she felt bad that my dad was n't around . so she tried to make feel loved by buying me things . it 's just how i grew up , learning that you show your love for someone by giving them expensive gifts . the more expensive the gift ... ... the more you were loved . and dad and victor ... everybody who came into my life did the same thing . nobody worried about how much things cost . extravagant gifts , they were n't a bad thing . just the opposite . but you 're right . i know it was n't like that for you . i get that now . i 'm sorry that i did n't before . i would never want to do anything to hurt you or cross any boundaries that would make you feel uncomfortable . that 's why i did n't push you about sex . i knew you were n't ready , and i respect that , and i -- i want to respect your boundaries about money , too . lola : uh , you 're saying all the right things . kyle : i mean them . i do . i can change . i will change for you because ... you 're the only one i want to be with . and i will do whatever it takes to make it work between us . so , please ... just give me a chance to prove it to you . kyle : does this mean we 're back together ? lola : do you think i would be kissing you like this if we were n't ? kyle : mnh - mnh . cane : [ sighs ] all right , well , the hospital wo n't give me any information on nikki 's condition . charlie : if she does n't make it , i could end up in jail like mom ! cane : all right , listen , let 's just wait until we hear more , okay ? charlie : [ sighs ] cane : okay ? charlie : i screwed up . i screwed up bad . cane : all right , listen . i 'm gon na go and talk to victoria tomorrow , all right ? reed is in this as deep as you are , and she 'll figure out something that involves you guys not going to jail , all right ? charlie : you think that 's possible ? cane : listen , i 'm gon na protect you , all right ? i promise you . come here . come here . i promise you , buddy . rey : time 's up . victor : she just got here . rey : i should n't have let her come in in the first place . abby : gee , thanks for the favor . rey : look , i know what it means to be a newman in this town . abby : you have no idea what it means . you think that we 're just a bunch of rich , spoiled , trust fund brats , but we 're a family . we stick together . and i do n't care who you are . i am gon na do everything in my power to prove that my father is innocent . victoria : do you ever feel like the universe is just conspiring against you ? billy : only every other day . victoria : i 'm serious . it 's hard enough dealing with mom 's accident and dad being awol , and then he finally shows up again , and he 's arrested for and now i find out that reed was driving the car that hit mom ... billy : you sure you do n't want a shot , or something ? victoria : no , billy . alcohol does not solve problems . billy : yeah , i know that , but it helps them go away for a little while . victoria : well , eventually , i 'm gon na have to face all of this , are n't i ? billy : look , i know it feels like you 're getting thrown six curve balls all at once , but if anyby ' handle that , it 's gon na be you . victoria : i 'm terrible at sports . billy : [ chuckles ] you 're gon na be fine . and you 're gon na carry your family on your back , like you always do . victoria : i could use a little help . billy : you got it .

phyllis : yeah . that 's not the only reason i , uh , brought you over here . i was trying to save you from a potentially awkward situation with adam . chelsea : i do n't need you to do me any favors , phyllis . phyllis : mm , okay . well , i know the situation -- well , it 's obviously tense after , you know , adam asked me to make a play for nick so that you would leave nick and then run into adam 's waiting arms . chelsea : so thanks for not knifing me in the back ? phyllis : um , well , no . i mean , i would never let anybody use me like that . ever . and adam is obviously reverting to his old ways , and some women would know that that 's an unhealthy situation and they 're better off without him . chelsea : ah , `` some women , `` but not me . so you must see me as a fool in your eyes , huh ? just because i want to help my son heal , have both of his parents under the same roof ? phyllis : you are no fool , chelsea . and you are not naive . and you know when someone 's manipulating you because you are a master manipulator yourself . so , what is it , denial ? obfuscation ? it must be that . or maybe you know what you 're doing ... and you 're just trying to string nick along . chelsea : [ scoffs ] to what end ? phyllis : i do n't know . i really do n't , because you 're not doing anything to discourage adam . chelsea : that is not true . when nick told me what his brother did , i confronted him . i told him his behavior has been repulsive and completely inappropriate . phyllis : oh , wow ! and after that really stern talking to , adam is more hopeful than ever . and then you walk in here , on nick 's arm , like you 're the golden couple of genoa city . seriously ? who 's knifing who in the back ? change those numbers at the grand phoenix , or i 'll do it for you . summer : hey . hey , mom . hey . phyllis : hey ! summer : can you , uh -- can you just do me a favor ? phyllis : yeah , what is it ? summer : could you just not start anything with anyone tonight ? phyllis : i just want to be part of the celebration . sweetie , come on . summer : mom . mom ... when i saw you with chelsea , there was definitely something going on . phyllis : we were talking business . summer : yeah , right . phyllis : okay , excuse me . summer : mom , i know -- phyllis : oh ! summer : no , i know what i saw . i know how you feel about chelsea . now that she 's with dad , it just makes me wonder ... phyllis : wonder what ? summer : if you 're gon na use that as an excuse to try to go after him again . phyllis : are you kidding me ? summer , it 's a new year . i 'm not gon na revive stale relationships . summer : okay , then are you interested in someone new ? phyllis : i ... have no desire to get involved with anyone . this is my body of proof . theo : hey . kyle : theo . theo : mm . kyle : does n't seem like your type of thing . theo : command performance . abby reminded me i 'm part of the tribe now , so ... you know , i even made it into that book about the abbott family history . hmm . here 's to the future . nick : what was with phyllis dragging you off as soon as we walked in the door ? chelsea : [ scoffs ] it was just phyllis being phyllis , needing to insert herself , as always . nick : so she was n't supposed to tell me about adam trying to break us up ? chelsea : it does n't matter . i 'm here , with you because i choose to be . but i could use a glass of champagne . nick : i 'll be right back . chelsea : okay . victor : so ... you decided to make an appearance ? adam : yeah , imagine my surprise ... victor : mm - hmm . adam : ... being invited to a family event . victor : that 's right . adam : so , did you make any new year 's resolutions ? victor : you 're the second person to ask me that . adam : well ? victor : to keep better track of my medication . adam : [ chuckles ] victor : [ chuckles ] you and i know what happened , right ? they can think what they want . but you 're here . you 're determined to protect your son , and i 'm still walking upright , more ornery than ever , prepared for the new year . i think that 's a win , do n't you ? nikki : still no word from billy ? victoria : [ sighs ] it 's like christmas eve all over again . it 's okay , really . i mean , i ca n't fault him for wanting to succeed in his new role . nikki : you think it 's as simple as that ? victoria : i do n't know , mom . when we talked earlier , everything seemed fine . i just -- i picked up on this restless in him . nikki : you think he might have the urge to gamble again ? victoria : [ sighs ] the thought crossed my mind . but , i mean , it could just be this new consulting job . it 's not as challenging as what he was doing before . nikki : he has been dealing with a lot of major issues . i mean , maybe he was trying to communicate something to you . perhaps you were unaware of it . victoria : [ sighs ] what do you suggest ? nikki : maybe you could encourage him to go to a meeting . victoria : yeah , that 's not a bad thought . i would n't want him to backslide after all the progress that he 's made . amanda : when you said `` escape `` a minute ago , it reminded me . billy : of what ? amanda : i was in college . undergrad . the summer between junior and , uh , senior year . billy : mm . amanda : rihanna was on her first world tour ... billy : [ laughing ] oh , yes . amanda : so , josie , my friend , we drove all around going to a bunch of her u.s. shows . billy : i see you in a whole new light now . amanda : [ laughs ] billy : you and josie just -- amanda : oh , yeah , and she had this beater car -- mm . did n't matter , though . it got us from point a to point b , we stayed at cheap motels , we ate out of food trucks and vending machines ... billy : [ chuckles ] amanda : none of that mattered . we loved the music . we just loved the -- billy : the freedom . yeah . amanda : yeah . billy : so , what happened after that ? amanda : what do you think ? september came around , so i buckled down , went back to school , worked my tail off , took the lsats , started applying to law school , made all the right choices -- yay , me . billy : yeah , i know that feeling , you know ? you buckle down , do everything that everyone expect you to do , wait for that pat on the back , for them to say `` this is who we always thought you could be . `` amanda : oh , yes , because , before ... billy : you just were n't good enough . amanda : mnh - mnh . billy : [ chuckles ] you know , leaving my family company , i mean , really leaving it this time was probably the best thing i 've done , maybe ever . amanda : c.e.o . of jabot . that 's a sweet gig . billy : yeah . amanda : mm - hmm . so why would you say that ? tell me the truth , billy . the whole truth , nothing but the truth . billy : because i feel alive for the first time in a long time . another cleaning tip from mr . clean . sharon : [ sighs ] fill her up , please ! mariah : yeah , of course . i have got a fresh one right here . sharon : that is such a cute blouse you 're wearing . mariah : oh , well , thank you . it was a christmas present from someone with amazing taste who knows me incredibly well . sharon : gee , i wonder who that could be . tessa : and i got this amazing bracelet from my own someone with amazing taste . sharon : [ gasps ] that is beautiful , just like the two of you . mariah : [ scoffs ] thank you . tessa : oh ! rey : yeah , so , you know , we 're staying open late so people can come in and regroup after a night of partying , maybe warm up with a cup of coffee , find a safe way home . sharon : stick around , watch the show for a bit . it 's our way of saying thanks for another terrific year . rey : you know , it 's a wonderful thing you 're doing for this community . sharon : well , i see it as more than just a public service . it 's a really nice way to ring in the new year with people who i care about the most . rey : well , with the right person , even work can be fun . sharon : i ca n't think of anywhere i 'd rather be . billy : [ sighs ] i know how lucky i am , i do , how , um ... how privileged . i mean , i have had opportunities that no one else gets . you know , people , they ... spend their lives trying to create this picture - perfect on the outside , and , uh ... and i 've tried , i 've -- i 've definitely tried to do that myself . i would say it 's for my kids . amanda : it 's obvious how much you love them . billy : yeah , i do . so much . they 're everything to me . but they 're smart . they have an intuition . they know when someone is trying to pull the wool over their eyes . [ sighs ] amanda : go on . billy : well , i tried to figure this out with my therapist , you know , when she was trying to heal me . and ... i do n't know , i feel like if the point of that is to just get in line and just do what everybody expects me to do , i feel like that 's part of the problem . i mean , i end up living in two different worlds . i feel like i 'm conflict with myself constantly . amanda : instead of one whole complicated person . billy : yeah , to just feel what i feel , to do what i feel is right , to just , you know , be who i am , to embrace both sides . phyllis : great party . chance : it has been , up till now . phyllis : i want to make sure we 're on the same page . chance : i 'm sure we 're not , whatever it is . phyllis : does abby know what happened in vegas ? chance : [ sighs ] phyllis : mm . i thought so . i guess you do n't want her to see you that way . chance : and what was is that ? phyllis : dangerous . might scare some women . chance : phyllis , if you 're -- phyllis : i 'm not like abby . you do n't scare me . i can keep a secret . when i want to . adam : connor loves the ranch . you know , he feels safe there . and i appreciate everything you and dad have done to help through this difficult time . nikki : i would do anything for my grandchild . adam : i know you would , and i 'm very grateful . now , chelsea and i just need to figure out what to do about his school . winter break is almost over , and we still have n't figured out where he 's gon na go yet . nikki : i think i can help with that . after you and i last spoke , i phone walnut grove . i was able to persuade the principal to change her mind about removing connor from the school . adam : well , i did n't -- i did n't expect you to do that . nikki : i know you didn't . you said as much . but the best thing for connor is stability and familiarity . adam : mm . jack : hey . you okay ? nick : [ sighs ] i 'm losing chelsea . jack : talk to me . nick : ever since she moved in with adam to be with connor ... you know , i guess the writing was on the wall , but i just did n't want to see it . i really thought we had something real , but , as time goes by , i 'm less and less sure about that . we hardly see each other . when we do , something always cuts it short . and there 's this awkwardness that was never there . [ sighs ] i do n't know , i 'm starting to think that we 're together for the wrong reasons . it 's like she 's supposed to be with me , you know , because i 'm safe and because i 'm dependable and because i was there for her when she needed someone . but now ... it 's like she has this obligation to be with me . and it hurts like hell . jack : so , do you wait it out and hope things go back to the way they were , or do you walk away ? only you can answer that question . victor : ladies and gentlemen . you 're all so festively dressed , my goodness . i think it is time for a toast . we are weakening our enamel more often than we even realize . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . victor : jack , it has n't been often that i would like to toast to you on this occasion . it is so nice to know that so many of our family are together tonight . and i want to thank abby for her generous hospitality . [ cheers and applause ] nick : abby ! jack : yay , abby ! victor : as we are about to embark upon the new year , i would like to take a moment to reflect upon the one we are about to say farewell to . both of our families have gone through lots of ups and downs , but , you know , my darling ... we have survived it all , have n't we ? nikki : [ giggles ] victor : we are stronger than ever . it 's a sign of the resiliency of our family . jack : and ours . victor : yes . jack : to , uh , new chapters to our story ... victor : and many more to come . jack : to the changes we 've all been through , and those things which have endured , among them , victor and nikki , i know that this evening is also your anniversary . victor : [ chuckles ] jack : you two are a symbol of how a relationship can change and grow , how obstacles can be overcome when two people are truly committed . nikki : well , it 's all about love , jack , the most powerful force on earth . when two people are meant to be together , as victor and i are , nothing can stand in the way . jack : to victor and nikki ! nick : yeah ! abby : whoo - hoo ! cheers . jack : yay ! billy : well , congratulations . you are my new shrink . amanda : [ laughs ] i would not wish that on anyone . billy : mm ! ooh . why not ? that 's not nice . amanda : how can i help someone be normal when i am not ? billy : are you kidding me ? you are a strong , independent , confident woman . i mean , you took on some very powerful people who threw a bunch of false accusations at you , and you stood your ground . you did n't let them run you out of town . from where i 'm sitting , you seem like you got it pretty much under control . amanda : ah , `` seems `` being the operative word here . billy : huh . amanda : i do n't have to tell you . no one really knows what 's going on with the other guy . billy : hmm . amanda : i would love to let go of that need to be so ... in control , so on top of everything . [ sighs ] i swear to god , this is the only place where i feel like i am ... not putting on an act . billy : well , i 'm glad you feel comfortable with me instead of waiting for me to implode , like everyone else i know . amanda : some people are just too self - absorbed to notice what 's going on with someone else . billy : [ sighs ] i got to go . yeah . i 'm really sorry . i hate to , but , uh .... can i -- can i walk you to your car ? amanda : the night is young . i am fine where i am . billy : is that right ? it 's , uh , gon na get pretty rowdy out there . amanda : mm , come on . i can take care of myself . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah , you can . okay , well , um ... you have my number if you need anything , okay ? happy new year . amanda : happy new year . chelsea : you having a good time ? nick : are you ? chelsea : i asked you first . you okay ? you seem a little preoccupied . nick : i did want a moment alone with you before the new year . chelsea : well , it 's been a crazy year . nick : no one was as surprised as i was when you came back into my life . it kind of seemed like it was inevitable . but it felt right , you know . we got another chance . our first time around was cut short . chelsea : because i cut it short . i took connor and left , basically threw a grenade in the middle of our lives . it was one the worst mistakes i 've ever made , and , considering my history , that 's saying a lot . i mean , nick , you did n't have to give me the time of day . you could have just told me to get lost , and i would have deserved it . nick : what you deserve is to be happy . chelsea : well , and so do you . you know , and we 've been good . yeah , it 's been a little complicated at times , but ... i am so grateful for you . nick : so am i. i 'm so grateful for what you 've done . by coming into my life and christian 's . but it 's become pretty clear to me ... that you should be with adam . [ sneeze and sniffles ] sharon : everybody having a good time ? [ cheering ] excellent ! well , it 's about to get even better . you 're in for a very special treat tonight . please give a warm crimson lights welcome to lp recording artist tessa porter ! [ cheers and applause ] tessa : oh , thank you , guys . um , all right . i am so excited to be here performing for you tonight . how about a round of applause for the awesome lady who owns this place ? she has the biggest heart out of anyone i 've ever met . so give it up for sharon newman !

victor : what is going on at jabot that has you so upset ? ashley : where do i even begin ? victor : this dealing with the new owner must n't be easy . especially since your company was in your family 's hands from the beginning . ashley : see , that 's just it . so many things have happened without my knowledge , and now i feel like i 'm backed into this corner . victor : i know what you 're gon na say . i know what you wan na talk about . this is about jack , is n't it ? [ scene_break ] jack : have you seen the report on profits for our nvp retreats ? nikki : i read it yesterday . jack : i 'm surprised you 're not doing back flips . the figures coming in from our caribbean retreat are off the charts . jack : all the other retreats are doing well also . nikki : well , too bad my investment in jabot is plummeting . jack : ah , so that 's what 's got you n -- jabot holiday sales . nikki : they were far short of expectations . jack : hey , every year ca n't be a banner year . nikki : yeah , i guess not . it does n't seem to bother you at all . jack : i always want the company my father built to succeed . jack : i have tried working with this new regime . i failed . sometimes , you have to accept the inevitable and let go . [ scene_break ] jt : so you 're really going through with this ? colleen : i have to . jt : why ? why ? that 's -- i do n't understand how it got to this point . colleen : well , it 's quite simple , actually . um , i 'm sick of fighting . i think that we should take a break , so i 'm moving out . jt : you know , i 'm sick of fighting , too , but that 's what couples do . they argue . colleen : and they also break up . which is what we 're doing . jt : yeah , look , listen , i understand that we have things we got ta work on . colleen : actually , we do n't anymore . jt : because you wo n't tell me what the problem is . colleen : well , what good is that gon na do now ? jt : you know , i 'm trying to understand how this has happened , you know ? you have n't been the same for weeks . one minute you 're -- you 're fine . the next minute you 're freaking out on me . after everything we 've been through , i deserve to know why . so tell me . please . [ scene_break ] brad : thank you . brad : excuse me . nick : you sure you do n't want anything ? phyllis : no , we just came by to see daddy . nick : its perfect timing . phyllis : why is that ? nick : i could use some friendly faces after the way dad just blasted me . phyllis : about brad ? nick : yeah , he made it very clear how disappointed he was that i did n't confide him phyllis : and if he finds out that you 're still holding back ... nick : i do n't even wan na think about that . phyllis : you know , he probably thinks you betrayed him -- just like i did . nick : well , you know , you , uh ... you got over it and forgave me . right ? phyllis : yeah . right . nick : maybe my dad 'll forgive me someday . i do n't know maybe in like a hundred years ? i was an idiot for letting brad convince me i should keep quiet to protect my family . 'cause all i did was let you and my father down . [ scene_break ] ashley : uh , yeah ... this is about jack . there 's something you need to know . victor : ashley , listen to me . i know this has been a very tough year for you . with your father 's passing , and katherine selling jabot . ashley : but the final straw was when jack cut the tie - in with nvp . victor : that was quite a setback . ashley : it was awful , what he did to jabot and nvp and for what ? victor : you think he overreacted ? ashley : yes . it was a very , very bad decision . victor : well , what can i say ? jack does what he does . that has always been thus . he does n't care what the consequences are . ashley : but i hope you know that i 'm not responsible for his actions . and unfortunately , i have no influence over him whatsoever . victor : you know , i firmly believe that a man must find his own path . i think jack has found his . ashley : victor , that 's what i need to talk to you about . victor : you do not need to intervene on his behalf . he has made his choices . ashley : i am obligated to explain to something to you . just hear me out . victor : before you go any further , i think you should be discussing this with your brother jack . ashley : victor , it involves you . because you respect jack and you trust him . victor : ashley , jack does what he does , all right ? as far as i 'm concerned , he 's not doing a bad job running nvp . ashley : this has nothing to do with nvp . victor : sweetheart , you know the kind of stress that i 've been subject to this past year with my health and all that ? i do n't wan na deal with any of this . you know ? ashley : i understand . victor : you win some money , lose some money . sometimes you 're outmaneuvered in business . who cares ? i do n't wan na worry about that kind of stuff anymore . ashley : well , i do n't wan na do anything that would harm you . victor : i know you do n't . try to do as i do . try to find some balance in your life . try to look for the positive , for the good . do n't concentrate on the negative . the sooner you do that , the sooner you 'll find inner peace . ashley : that 's good advice . ashley : okay . ashley : bye . [ scene_break ] phyllis : all right , listen to me . i ca n't stay mad at you . you 're a hero . you saved sharon . nick : try telling that to my dad . all he could talk about was how i messed up because i did n't bring him in somehow to help . phyllis : how could he help ? by consulting his guru ? nick : you know , i even brought up the fact that his state of mind at the time was a little ... dicey . he said that was just an excuse . phyllis : you said that to him ? nick : yeah . phyllis : he 's such a hypocrite . i do n't believe he 's doing this . how many times has he gone behind your back or nikki 's ? it 's amazing . i mean , he 's not above lying to suit his own purpose . at about the time he was bribing all those retailers just to screw over jabot ? not to mention , all the time he sabotaged victoria 's relationships because he did n't like the guy . nick : well , it wo n't do any good to point any of that out , because apparently , what i did is ten times worse . phyllis : really ? it is , huh ? let me see ... um , bribery conviction ... keeping your mouth shut to protect people ... wow . you 're going to hell . nick : you 're probably right . phyllis : and you know what ? he better knock it off , because the only person who is allowed to criticize you me . nick : spoken like a loyal wife . phyllis : yeah . and i 'm gon na let you off the hook . i 'm not gon na give you any more grief about this . nick : all right . 'cause you were pretty upset with me . phyllis : yeah , but that was before i realized your heart was in the right place . nick : just knowing that you believe in me again -- that 's all i need . [ scene_break ] jt : what have i done , colleen ? what 's changed ?

is the great victor newman capable of murder ? this is the question that looms over genoa city as victor is arrested . glo and jill smell the deceit and conniving ways of jack , while kay says let 's not judge too hastily . michael baldwin is summoned by victor who refuses to spend another moment in jail . while at newman , nick and neil prepare statements for the press ; nikki is supportive but that goes unseen in victor 's eyes who is released on bail thanks to nick and michael 's quick work .

[ be ] leslie : the law enforcement you dealt with in hawaii has been in touch with the d.a . sharon : and told him there was nothing to back up my story . leslie : now he 's seriously considering obstruction charges . adam : sharon did n't interfere with the investigation . she is the investigation . leslie : ( sighs ) sharon : uh , tell the d.a . i 'll -- i 'll take a lie detector test . whatever he wants . leslie : i 'm meeting with him now . adam : your first priority is to make sure sharon stays out of trouble . leslie : okay . ( sighs ) sharon : see you later . adam : you are not responsible for this . but we both know who is . nick : you going to answer my question ? victor : ( sighs ) with the offices closed , i thought it was a good time to get away , considering all the problems i 've had with your mother and your sisters . i 'd imagine you understand . nick : so where 'd you go ? victor : the house in telluride . i did some skiing . nick : what if you skied into a tree or something ? victor : ( chuckles ) your compassion is touching , son . nick : dad , you got ta tell somebody when you go out of town like that . victor : i did n't think anyone would give a damn where i 'd gone to , all right ? would you have had it not been for the takahashi deal ? ( intercom buzzes ) victor : excuse me . yeah ? mm ... yes . let me deal with that right now . i need to take this call , okay ? nick : of course . victor : yeah ? well , they 're meeting in brussels right now to discuss ... gloria : ( sighs ) lauren : hi . jill : hi . lauren : hi . did fen get off to school okay ? gloria : yes , and auntie jill conducted a thorough investigation of the school security system . lauren : ( chuckles ) phyllis : was it satisfactory ? jill : it was very impressive . lauren : mm - hmm . well , things are certainly bad when these two are pairing up . gloria : uh - huh .

( cell phone rings ) phyllis : it 's nick . hey , nick , what 's up ? nick : um , so i was just calling to check in with you . am i picking up summer this afternoon , or are you ? phyllis : ( sighs ) i 'm sorry . can you please do that ? um , daisy has escaped . nick : she escaped ? how did that happen ? did n't she have , like , guards and an ankle alarm ? phyllis : i know . she went into labor , and , uh , they turned off the ankle bracelet so jana , who was with her , could take her to the hospital . then she knocked jana out and stole her car . nick : was jana seriously hurt ? phyllis : yeah , uh , she has a concussion , but that 's all . she 'll be fine . nick ... ( sighs ) i 'm worried about daniel . he -- he went to look for daisy , and he 's missing . ( footsteps approach ) michael : jack , is that daniel 's car ? jack : yeah , that 's definitely his car . michael : jack , look ! jack : oh , no . daniel ? oh , the back of his head is bleeding . daniel ? daniel ! he 's freezing . michael : he 's got a pulse . jack : come on , daniel . hang in there , buddy . come on . hang in there . we 're gon na get you to a hospital . daniel ? get your phone . cane : there 's no way i 'm gon na get this done .

( chuckles ) how are you ? blake : good . oh , uh , colin , you remember lily ? colin : of course , uh , jill 's daughter - in - law . lily : yeah . nice to see you again . colin : we got to talking after jill introduced us and realized that we know a lot of the same people back in australia . lily : oh , well , that 's a small world . ( chuckles ) how long you in genoa city for ? colin : as long as it takes me to get my work finished . lily : well , it 's too bad you had to be away from home over the holidays . colin : you know , it has n't been too bad . i spent new year 's eve with jill , and it was very nice . ( clears throat ) lily : oh , i - i did n't know that you -- colin : in fact , we 're very fond of each other . lily : oh , okay . ( chuckles ) well , i 'm sure we 'll be seeing a lot more of you . colin : i certainly hope so . gloria : you owe me $ 10 . jill : i will pay you . gloria , for god sake , i will pay you . listen , i do n't want to take no for an answer . i want you to eat something . lauren : oh , come on . gloria : yes , and i brought you some fruit . lauren : really ? i - i -- gloria : yes . nick : hey . phyllis : what are you doing here ? nick : well , i figured i could keep calling you every ten minutes , or actually come down here and find out what 's going on . also , i figured you 'd be out of your mind . lauren : michael and -- and jack are searching . we decided to stay here . nick : well , it 's best if you stay in a public place . do you need help with anything ? can i watch fen ? lauren : you 're so sweet . i - i think gloria and jill have that covered . gloria : mm . ( cell phone rings ) lauren : one second . i - it 's michael . hello ? well , honey , i -- i can barely hear you . wh - what about daniel ? what ? ( scoffs ) we got disconnected . he -- i - i - i think he said something about daniel a - and them bringing him here . phyllis : w - well , what -- how did he say daniel was ? lauren : we did n't get that far . jill : and what about daisy ? did michael say anything about her ? lauren : no . gloria : the police will find her . lauren : let 's hope . phyllis : the baby , too , i hope . baby : ( cries ) daisy : shh . baby : ( crying ) daisy : shh , shh . baby : ( cries ) baby : ( cries ) daisy : shh , shh . baby : ( crying ) daisy : shh , shh , shh , shh , shh . baby : ( cries ) baby : ( cries ) baby : ( cries ) phyllis : ( gasps ) michael : doctor , this is daniel romalotti . he 's got a head injury , uh , hypothermia . jack : he was unconscious when we found him . phyllis : d - daniel . daniel . abby : no . doctor : i need a full set of vitals and stat core temperature . apply circulating heat blankets , torso only . start , uh , i.v. -- need it right now . d5 normal saline solution heated to 110 degrees , 250 cc 's per hour . o2 by nasal cannula , 6 liters per minute . alert radiology he 'll be coming down soon for a c.t . scan . lauren : what happened to him ? michael : i have no idea . victor : you 're back . nicholas said you had gone out of town . sharon : i 'm here to ask for your help -- not for adam 's sake , for mine . i have no way of proving that any of this happened . and the police in hawaii , they think that i 'm lying about seeing skye so that i could help adam . but you know i 'm telling the truth , do n't you ? victor : mm - hmm . sharon , why would it matter what i think ? sharon : because as angry as you are with adam ... victor : mm - hmm . sharon : i do n't believe that you will sit back and let your son go to prison for a crime he did n't commit , not your own child . victor : did he send you here to plead his case ? sharon : he thinks you 're the one who framed him . victor : i heard he said that . mm - hmm . sharon : victor , protecting and defending your family is what you 're all about . i 've benefitted from that . times when i thought maybe i crossed the line , or you might wash your hands of me forever , you showed me great compassion . victor : ( sighs ) is that what you want for adam ? what 's the matter with you ? have you forgotten who this man is ? have you forgotten what happened the last time i showed him compassion ? have you forgotten what he has done to ashley ? to you ? to nicholas ? when he switched babies in the hospital , making you think it was ashley 's baby ? but in fact , it was yours ? if it were up to adam , you would still be mourning for the life of that child . sharon : i ca n't forget that . victor : you already have forgotten it . you 're dealing with a very dangerous man . he 's a psychopath . sharon : victor , you 've given up hope . and adam is not a lost cause . victor : ( sighs ) sharon , i 'm very fond of you . you know that . but i 've got to tell you , adam , my own flesh and blood , is a lost cause . do you know how much it pains me to say that ? he is where he belongs -- in prison . do not let him take you down with him . i 'm warning you . cane : ( sighs ) colin : and in cairns , you can actually go white - water rafting through a rain forest . lily : ( laughs ) wow , that sounds amazing . but i think our vacations for the next few years are gon na have to stay pretty stroller - friendly . ( laughs ) so ... blake : yeah , i got you . lily : yeah . ( cell phone rings ) colin : do n't rule out a trip to australia . i happen to know this really good travel guide ... and i 'm cheap . lily : ( laughs ) well , that 's so nice of you . thank you . blake : excuse me , i ... lily : okay . ( ring ) blake : what 's up ? cane : f.y.i . , you 've been spending your morning busting your butt getting a report ready for neil and sofia , okay ? blake : really ? i 'm very impressed with myself . cane : well , i 'm glad somebody is . listen , they want an instant analysis of tax assessments , all right ? that is not really exactly my field of expertise . blake : ( sighs ) well , there 's got ta be something online , right ? plagiarize . cane : well , i did the best i could . let 's just hope it works . blake : well , i hope so , mate . otherwise , you 're gon na have quite a problem on your hands . michael : we started on the back roads leading out of town from the old zoo . nick : well , it makes sense . daisy is familiar with the area . jill : and daniel had the same idea . lauren : did he ever regain consciousness or say anything at all ? michael : no . phyllis : ( sighs ) no . so we know what happened . i mean , he found daisy , obviously . and she did the same thing to daniel that she did to jana . doctor , hi . i 'm -- i 'm daniel 's mother . how is he ? doctor : hi . he 's , uh , suffering from severe hypothermia . his core body temperature has gotten down to 88 degrees . we 're gon na bring it back up , but it 's a slow process . too much heat too quickly can cause shock or cardiac complications . phyllis : okay . and his head injury ? doctor : still waiting for the results of the cat scan . abby : but he 's gon na be okay , right ? doctor : well , it 's too soon to tell . his condition is critical . we 're doing all we can . nick : you know they know what they 're doin ' here , right ? when they pulled noah out of that lake , they saved his life . they 're gon na do the same with daniel . phyllis : i know . i know that it 's gon na be fine with dan -- i know he 'll be okay . i just think this is ironic that i was trying to help that baby , and i 'm ultimately risking the life of my own . ( sighs ) gloria : michael . lauren : what did the police say ? michael : uh , they found a tire tread in the snow where we found daniel , and it matches jana 's car . gloria : so it was daisy . jack : well , that 's the working theory right now . it seems that daniel found her , maybe got out of his car , maybe offered his coat . he was n't wearing one when we found him . they never found it on the scene . jill : so daisy probably made him think that she was gon na come back with him . michael : and at some point , he , uh , turned his back , and she knocked him out cold . lauren : that 's exactly what she would do . phyllis : ( sighs ) nick : how long do they think he was out there ? jack : the doctor said judging from his body temperature , he was there quite a while . abby : what , she just left him there to die ? phyllis : she did n't do anything . she did n't call 9 - 1 - 1 . she did n't put his jacket over him . she did n't put him in the car and put the heat on . she did nothing . she just let someone die . she did nothing ! abby : i 'm , um , i am -- i 'm gon na go call kevin . nick : you okay ? abby : yeah . yeah . yeah , he 's just , um , he 's been texting , and he -- he wants an update . gloria : honey , thank you . he 'll appreciate it . lauren : ( sighs ) lauren : kevin 's gon na be so upset that his niece disappeared . jill : honey , the police are gon na find them . lauren : daisy has been gone for hours . she could be anywhere . ( sighs ) w - were there any clues in the crime scene that could indicate where she was headed ? michael : no . but they 're gon na tow daniel 's car back . lauren : which will tell us precisely nothing because she was never in the car . nick : there is a statewide manhunt going on . they 're gon na find daisy . she 's going back to jail . phyllis : it 's not gon na get that far . i 'm gon na find her first , and i 'm gon na rip her apart if she takes my son away from me . jack : nobody 's taking your son away . listen to me . gloria 's right . someone was looking out for daniel , starting with the weather . it was much warmer than it usually is . that could have been the difference between life and death . phyllis : you do n't know that . you do n't know if he 's gon na survive . you do n't know that , jack . ( sighs ) jack : hey . hey . neil : ready ? got 'em right here . here , this one 's for you . sofia : ( sighs ) good . finally . neil : i do not like cutting it this close . sofia : me , either . so where are the projections for this year ? neil : um , should be right where i think it i -- yes , second - to - last page . sofia : okay . i 'm anxious to see what he did . let 's see . wait . do you have an analysis ? neil : um , i - i got a bit of it here at the -- at the bottom . sofia : well , that 's just a brief overview . where 's the study we commissioned ? neil : sofia , did you not download all the pages ? sofia : neil , of course i downloaded all the pages . you are ... ( chuckles ) look , everything he sent is supposed to be right here . neil : no , no , no . this is n't right . no . this is -- this is un -- unbelievable here . sofia : and there 's not enough time for us to get someone else to do it . a - and there 's no time for him to redo it , and we can not turn this in to tucker like this . neil : why not ? he should see this . he 'll see exactly where his money 's going , what he 's paying for . sofia : ( sighs ) we 're gon na have to get cane involved . neil : cane 's gon na be furious about this . recommending this guy , putting his reputation on the line . sofia : ( scoffs ) a mess . cane ? yeah , sofia . we need to see you right away . cane : ( sighs ) is , uh , is there a problem ? sofia : well , we 're just gon na have to talk about that when you get here . cane : ( sighs ) colin : so you have pictures of the children ? blake : ( clears throat ) lily : oh . ( laughs ) do i have pictures ? okay , that -- that 's funny . blake : okay , pictures ? uh , her phone is like the national archives depicting mattie and charlie 's every waking moment . lily : what ? okay , you know what ? listen . i 'm gon na go get a refill first and give you a chance to escape . how about that ? ( chuckles ) colin : oh , i 'm not going anywhere . blake : ( sighs ) colin : cane did well for himself . she is delightful . blake : yes , she is . colin : i got ta get into that house . i want to see my grandchildren . blake : yeah . yeah , i did n't think seeing them across a parking lot was gon na satisfy you . colin : they 're my legacy . cane : ( sighs ) sofia : did you talk to blake ? cane : yeah , he , uh , he said he sent the information in . is this it ? neil : sent the information in ? what there was of the information . sofia : there is very little analysis , virtually no specifics . neil : i 'm afraid this was a flimsy job at best . sofia : completely unacceptable . cane : okay , uh , i 'm sure he gave it his all . he always does . you know , this -- this was a rush assignment . i mean , it 's the middle of the night in australia . there 's no one he could call to , you know -- neil : cane . cane . i do n't want to hear about it . with all the projects that he 's worked on , or claims to have worked on , this should have been a snap . sofia : we are paying him top dollar for his expertise . tucker is not gon na be happy with this . neil : cane , he 's gon na hit the roof , and the fallout is gon na land on all of us . cane : ( sighs ) leslie : ( sighs ) adam : convince the d.a . to back off of sharon ? leslie : for now . but the situation has n't gotten any better for you . adam : you and vance can make the d.a . see reason . it 's tough to prosecute someone for murder when you do n't even have a body . leslie : half the job 's been done for him in the press . adam : you talkin ' about that article that phyllis did for `` restless style `` ? leslie : yeah . it solidified your public image as a man without a conscience , a danger to society . adam : the d.a . 's just trying to appease the screaming hordes . all his evidence is circumstantial . you know it , i know it , and they know it . leslie : yeah , well , when a jury 's predisposed to convict , they do n't need a lot of convincing , and he knows that . adam : ( sighs ) so you 're telling me that , uh , the d.a . 's not gon na be dropping these charges any time soon ? leslie : he 's already moving to get the trial on the court calendar , and he 's planning to go for the maximum . adam , if you have an ace in the hole , now would be a very good time to pull it out . sharon : i ca n't walk away from adam . victor : ( sighs ) ( sighs ) you 're sacrificing yourself and your family to what end ? you will not be able to save that man . sharon : maybe not . i could n't save skye . i do n't know if you 've ever been in the same position where someone 's life was literally in your hands . but the look on her face , the terror , and her voice screaming , it -- it still wakes me up at night . now i 'm sure whoever set adam up did n't intend for that to happen . they did n't want skye to die , or for me to have to deal with this guilt . we were just collateral damage . but that wo n't be all there is . sharon : there 'll be more , and adam wo n't be the only one who 's suffering , unless you help me set things right . and i think you 're the only one who can , victor . sharon : were you the one who sent skye out of town ? neil : and , of course , we still ca n't get blake to answer the damn phone . cane : um , all right , listen , i 'll find out what happened here . uh , you know , maybe you got a rough draft by mistake . um , okay , listen , if he gets you the information you need before tucker has his presentation , can we maybe -- sofia : no , look , it is too late for that , cane . neil : ( exhales ) sofia : we gave blake every opportunity to prove himself , and he just blew it . neil : and when you find him , tell him he 's fired . cane : ( sighs ) colin : so ... let 's see these miracle babies . lily : uh , actually , it 'll have to wait . my babysitter just called and said that she has to leave . so i 'm sorry . blake : is n't , uh , is n't cane working from home ? lily : um , well , he was , but he got called into the office , so , um , i guess you 'll have to see the photo gallery next time , i guess . colin : look , as it turns out , i 've got a bit of time between meetings now . if it 's not an imposition , i 'd like to drop by in person , see the twins . blake : well , maybe i could join him . i bet you could use an extra set of hands . otherwise , those little ones will have you outnumbered . lily : well , you know , martha said that they 're kind of fussy today , and they 'll probably make a bad first impression . so another time ? colin : it 's been nice visiting with you . lily : you , too . bye , you guys . blake : bye , lily . see you soon . lily : bye . see you . colin : are you this obvious every time you 're around ? blake : ( sighs ) what are you talking about ? colin : your instructions are to keep an eye on her , nothing else . blake : ( sighs ) ( clears throat ) anyway , look , that was cane that called . he seems to have stepped in it again . colin : uh , tell me later . jill : all right , just cancel all of lauren 's appointments for today . no , no , no . give me his number . i 'll call in person , okay ? uh , wait a second . i just got ta get something to write with . hang on . jill : ( chuckles ) just text me the number , okay ? adam : ( sighs ) victor : well , i hate to see what you 're going through . sharon : well , then help me . help me prove he 's innocent . victor : i can not do that . he created the situation he 's in , not i . sharon : victor , please ? victor : sharon , will you please come to your senses ? you 're dealing with a psychopath . i 'm warning you , this is a dangerous man . he 's in prison where he belongs . please do n't forget that . as far as skye being in hawaii is concerned , i have no idea how she got there . probably adam sent her there . ( knock on door ) victor : come in . nick : i heard you were back . i also heard your story about what happened in hawaii . sharon : that 's no story . nick : you know , sharon , you leave your daughter to go cruising around hawaii , then come back with this ridiculous alibi . i 'm done waiting for you to come to your senses , and you know what ? faith is done waiting for you to be a real mother to her . i know michael 's got his hands full right now , but the second he is free , i 'll be filing for full custody . ( monitors beeping ) phyllis : lauren was right . i should have kept daisy in prison . she was right . jack : daniel is young , and he 's strong . phyllis : but i could lose him , jack . i could lose him . and god only knows where that baby is right now . man : ( sighs ) man : what the ... hello ? anybody here ? phyllis : ( sighs ) abby : hey . it 's abby . i 'm still here . well , of course i 'm still here . you still owe me my new year 's kiss . and , um , we 're not gon na do it all `` sleeping beauty `` style , so ... you have to wake up , okay ? abby : ( sniffles ) michael : jack . michael : the police just sent me this . it was taken less than an hour ago at an a.t.m . just over the canadian border . jack : where did she cross ? michael : the c.i.c . has no record . she must have snuck across somehow . lauren : well , at least we know that she 's far away and she 's not lurking around here waiting to hurt someone else . phyllis : and we know she 's still pregnant . abby : she lied about being in labor ? michael : at least it will make her easier to spot . the mounties are looking for someone who 's very pregnant . [ next_on ] tucker : i think it 's time we got down to plannin ' a wedding . sofia : that 's it . i tried . neil 's right . i ca n't send this report to tucker . i 'm gon na have to let him know . woman : heather stevens ? heather : uh , yes . woman : you 've been served .

[ scene_break ] nikki : well , would you look at this ? you know , that 's a damn charming picture . it could be right on the cover of newman enterprises ' next annual report . `` c.e.o . adam newman hard at work on a barstool before 8 : 00 a.m. `` adam : ( pops lips ) when it comes to liquid breakfasts , i defer to the reigning champ . nikki : mm , touché , but we 're not talking about me , are we ? adam : why are we talking at all ? since when have you given a damn about me ? nikki : oh , i do n't know . it 's just that you went to so much trouble to maneuver yourself back into the company . adam : let 's get it straight , sister . victor newman , my father , came to me . nikki : obviously , his confidence was misguided . adam : do n't you have some empties to hide or something ? nikki : well , i can ... ( clears throat ) only imagine that the reason you 're choosing to drink at this hour is because you have heard about victor and sharon 's engagement . adam : how could this happen ? [ scene_break ] sharon : you asked me to sleep on it , so i did . victor : so what 's your answer ? sharon : as generous as your proposal is , i 'm afraid i ca n't accept it . victor : why not ? sharon : well ... ( sighs ) i 'm already getting a taste of it will be like when the news breaks . a lot of people are gon na be hurt , and i know that that 's only going to be worse after we 're married . now i appreciate you ... wanting to look after for me . but ... i 'm gon na return this to michael . victor : please do n't do that . keep the ring on your finger , all right ? give me more time to prove to you that it 'll be for the best . [ scene_break ] nikki : you know , if it makes you feel any better , i was n't thrilled to hear this news , either . adam : way to stick it to me , pops . nikki : ( scoffs ) it 's not all victor 's fault . sharon did n't let any time pass before she put that rock on her finger . adam : i just ca n't ... picture her doin ' this without some kind of reasoning behind it . all due respect , i ... i do n't see her wanting to be married to that bastard . nikki : sharon 's not the angel you think she is . in fact , she is a master manipulator . and as far as i 'm concerned , this is exactly the kind of thing she would leap at . [ scene_break ] billy : better watch out , buddy . one innocent little conversation with her , and she 'll take you for everything you got . man : have a nice day . chelsea : i was wondering when i would see you next . billy : mm . [ scene_break ] nick : look , i did n't see this coming , either . but avery made me face something ... phyllis : ( sighs ) nick : that i 've been ignoring for a long time . phyllis : ( sighs ) nick : i 'm not over you yet . i still want you . i have feelings for you . phyllis : avery made you see that ? nick : yeah , she did . and i 'm glad , 'cause she 's right . and that 's why ... we ended things last night . phyllis : ronan ended things with me . nick : okay . now it may just be me , but it seems to me what happened last night just got a whole lot less confusing . [ scene_break ] victor : i 'm not surprised you had to face some hostility . but by marrying me , i promise you , i 'd make things easier for you , not harder . give me some time to prove that to you . sharon : i do n't see how this is going to get any easier , especially with my kids . how am i going to explain this to noah ? victor : i know that he would want his mother to be happy , secure , safe , protected . if you marry me , all of that will be provided . sharon : well , you keep talking about what i stand to gain in this ... victor : yes . sharon : and how this benefits me , but what about you ? why would you want to do this ? victor : i 've already explained that to you . sharon : you have my companionship without a marriage certificate . victor : who in the family has gone out of their way to help you ? or even be decent to you ? certainly not nikki . sharon : no , definitely not nikki . victor : so noah 's living on his own in new york . your mother has her own concerns . you got out of that relationship with adam , and your former husband nicholas is doing everything in his power to keep you from seeing faith as often as you would like . if you marry me , you will have someone who backs you up at all times , who truly cares for you . sharon : i hear what you 're saying . victor : do me a favor and think about it , okay ? do n't make a decision right now . but i 'm certain that eventually , you 'll realize that this is best for you . [ scene_break ] victoria : thanks for coming , mom . ( sighs ) boy , you know , nothing ever changes . dad always knows exactly what buttons to push . nikki : ( sighs ) so you 've already heard the news . victoria : ( sighs ) you know ? nikki : yes . i - i got there right after he gave it to her . victoria : gave who what ? i do n't know what you 're talking about . nikki : your father proposing to sharon . victoria : what ? [ scene_break ] billy : i 've had about enough of this . who sent you here ? chelsea : no one . i am -- i am here -- i came to find you because of this baby . that is the only reason . billy : yeah , the baby . okay , the baby . you said that you would take a d.n.a . test last night . how soon can we push this along ? chelsea : i will happily take one today . you just find me a doctor . billy : find you a doctor ? great . well , there 's a place called memorial hospital . and hospitals -- they have doctors . feel free to go there , pick the first one , take a test . chelsea : okay , i understand that you are freaking out , liam . billy : do n't call me liam . chelsea : ( sighs ) despite you wanting to blame me for all of your problems , i have n't done anything wrong here . billy : ( scoffs ) chelsea : billy , when we were together in myanmar , you did n't say a thing about being married . in fact , when i asked you about that tattoo on your finger , and i - i made a joke saying , `` you better not be married , `` you told me that there was nobody in your life . billy : i do n't remember that . ( clears throat ) chelsea : ( sighs ) well , that does n't surprise me , considering how wasted you were . ( sighs ) look , i did n't come all of this way to start trouble between you and your wife . i did n't even know that you had a wife . so consider yourself lucky that i am not pressing charges . billy : look , we did not have sex . chelsea : ( scoffs ) billy : i definitely did n't push myself onto you , so you can knock that off right now . you 're lying . you 're trying to scam me . so you can go tell whoever it is that sent you they better not mess around , because i 'm gon na order this test personally to make sure it 's not tampered with . nobody 's getting between me and my wife again . feel free to tell victor newman i said so . [ scene_break ] victoria : dad and sharon ? ( laughing ) why -- why -- why would he do that ? and how could sharon even think about saying yes ? ! nikki : are you kidding ? it 's obvious she thinks she 's hit the jackpot , baby . i mean , this is it for her . victoria : ( sighs ) nikki : as far as your father goes , i have no idea . he 's either lost his mind or he is determined to push everybody that ever mattered to him away . victoria : mom , you seem to be handling this . i mean , are you sure you 're okay ? nikki : honey , i ... ( sighs ) admit i had a rough night , but it 's a new day . it 's a new year , thank god . these things seem to be happening whether i agree with them or not , so what can i do ? victoria : somebody has to do something . what about nicholas ? does he know about this ? [ scene_break ] phyllis : i wish i could just throw my arms around you and say , `` yeah , let 's get back together . `` i ca n't do that . ( sighs ) seeing you with avery , nick ... ( sighs ) that was so hurtful . i mean , not just because she 's my s -- actually , yeah , because she 's my sister . ( scoffs ) yeah , that 's a pretty big part of it . nick : you want to tell me the rest ? phyllis : i 'm not enough for you , am i ? i mean , it 's never just been us alone , ever . there 's always somebody in between . there 's always some woman in between . i mean , first , it 's sharon , and she always needed you to rescue her . she needed you to be her backbone . and you allowed it to go on and on . and if i had a problem with it , then i was being crazy , and it was my insecurities , and i was imagining it , and i was n't being sensitive to sharon or -- or her needs . i mean , what about my needs ? i 'm -- i 'm your wife . i was your wife . nick : i never once said that there were n't issues with sharon -- not once . phyllis : but you said they were my issues . you did n't own any of the issues . anyway ... when it looked like maybe we had a chance again ... you started sleeping with my sister . nick : i was attracted to her . you were attracted to ronan . i think we both needed to see where those relationships went . phyllis : did we ? nick : yes , and i promise you , i did not start seeing avery to hurt you . ( cell phone rings ) nick : it 's victoria . she 's still in jamaica . ( ring ) phyllis : answer it . nick : hey , so you 're calling me from your honeymoon . this must be important . victoria : yeah , listen , uh , billy and i flew back early . it 's a long story . ( sighs ) i 'm with mom . are you sitting down right now ? she just told me something . nick : okay , what is it ? victoria : ( sighs ) there 's really no easy way to say this , so i 'm just gon na blurt it out . it 's pretty ridiculous . dad proposed to sharon . nick : what ? what are you talking about ? victoria : listen , mom confirmed it . she was there . she saw the ring . nick : vick just told me that dad is engaged to sharon . [ scene_break ] nikki : so how did nicholas take the news ? victoria : pretty much the same way i did . ( sighs ) nikki : well , wait a minute . i - if you did n't know about victor and sharon , you must have been calling me about something else victor did to you . victoria : while we were in jamaica , we got a phone call from the adoption agency . there was a birth mother interested in our profile , even after everything that happened with lucy last year . so we rushed home to get ready to meet with her , only to find this woman who billy hooked up with in myanmar on our front porch . nikki : oh , my god . victoria : look , i had assumed that he had been with someone while we were apart . that part i can handle . but this woman is claiming that the sex was n't consensual . nikki : what ? ! victoria : which i do n't believe for one minute . all right ? but she 's pregnant . nikki : ( scoffs ) victoria : she 's pregnant , and according to her , the baby is billy 's . nikki : oh , my god . baby -- honey -- victoria : oh , wait . hold on . it gets worse . nikki : you 're not -- okay . victoria : billy and i think that dad brought her here to try to break us up again . [ scene_break ] billy : i 'll have somebody contact you about the tests . i know you 're staying here . i talked to the front desk when i tracked you down . chelsea : wow , i 'm so impressed you went to all that trouble . billy : in the meantime , you stay the hell away from my wife , and you keep away from me . ( sighs ) chelsea : ( sighs ) hi . uh , can i get some more hot water for my tea , please ? thank you . ( sighs ) you seem to have gotten an early start . adam : it 's been one of those days . so how do you , uh , how do you know billy abbott ? whoops . [ scene_break ] phyllis : oh , oh , billy . billy : not now , phyllis , not -- phyllis : oh , you ca n't ignore the story . you ca n't . `` restless style `` needs to run the story . you ha -- ( sighs ) listen , you have to hire me back . you have to . you have to . i will get the story right . billy : i have no idea what you 're talking about right now . phyllis : oh , wow , you do n't -- you do n't know about victor and sharon ? [ scene_break ] sharon : was n't it nice that the sitter came by early so mommy did n't have to wake you up ? faith : yeah . sharon : and it gave me a chance to do something very important for both of us . oh , sweetheart . [ scene_break ] victor : hello , son . nick : i 've had a lot of doubts about every move you 've made lately , but i 've left you alone , 'cause i figured you knew what you were doing . but that 's over . i 've lost all faith in you . victor : i 'm sorry to hear that . nick : you 're sorry ? ( scoffs ) that 's it ? you 're sorry ? that is all you 're gon na say to me ? victor : that 's right . nick : what is the matter with you ? how can you even think of trying to marry the mother of my children ? [ scene_break ] billy : victor and sharon ? man , that -- that ... phyllis : i was with nick when victoria called . they 're beside themselves , obviously . now -- now listen . this is my point . you need to hire me back , because i can get this story right , and i can -- i can use the magazine to investigate the murder . billy : what murder ? phyllis : what murder ? what murder do you think i 'm talking about , billy ? billy : diane 's murder ? phyllis : yeah . billy : that 's been solved . case closed . phyllis : yeah , the d.a . thinks the case is closed , but victor is not a killer . he did not kill anybody . it 's obvious he 's protecting someone . billy : obvious to who ? phyllis : and -- and then this stunt with sharon ? ( shudders ) it -- it -- it 's crazy . it 's crazy . you know what ? he does n't care about his family , obviously . he does n't care about his reputation . billy : i do n't care about victor 's reputation . however , i am a bit tired of him trashing his kids ' lives so that he can accommodate his world view on how things should be ran . phyllis : so it 's a done deal . you 're hiring me , right ? billy : ( chuckles ) we 're about to go to press . phyllis : with what ? what story do you have , billy ? is it better than this one ? billy : no , no , you 're right . we should go with this story . phyllis : yeah , and you should hire me to write it . billy : i 've got a lot on my plate right now . fine , have at it . phyllis : as the editor ? it 's official ? billy : you want it in writing ? phyllis : well , yeah , of course i want it in writing , but we do n't have to worry about that right now . um , i 'm gon na be really honest with you . you are not gon na regret hiring me back . [ scene_break ] victor : son , i knew you would have this reaction along with everyone else . nick : because what you are doing is beyond inappropriate . how can you even think of trying to marry sharon ? victor : let me put it this way , son . sharon needs someone to look out for her interests , and i need someone i can rely on . nick : this is crazy . you do not need sharon , and you can not protect her from inside that prison cell . victor : i can , and i will . nick : not to mention sharon has the rest of her life ahead of her , dad . why would she want to be married to someone behind bars ? can you not see that ? victor : son , what you had with sharon has long been over , all right ? nick : this is not about me . victor : of course it is ! if it were n't , you would n't get so worked up , would you ? nick : is this to protect sharon from adam ? because i already took care of that by making sharon get that restraining order . victor : i proposed to sharon because i want her to be my wife . and i think she wants that , as well . ( knock on door ) sharon : nikki . [ scene_break ] adam : william abbott was just out surfing , and then the next thing , uh , `` hello , baby daddy `` ? chelsea : there were a few more steps involved . adam : so you 're back in the states now to , uh , remind billy of the rockin ' time you guys had and get some money ? what ? chelsea : ( scoffs ) uh , no . i 'm just here to make sure that my child is taken care of . adam : mm . yeah , um , somebody told me something very similar to that this week . and i respected it , and then they , uh , they went and did something that just about slapped me in the face , made me wonder if anything that ever came out of their mouth was true . for your baby 's sake , i hope you 're on the level . if you 'll forgive me , i 'm just a bit , uh , skeptical of people who use their kids to ruin other people 's lives . [ scene_break ] nikki : what exactly do you think you 're gon na accomplish by marrying victor ? sharon : i am doing what i feel is best for my children , and i do n't owe you any explanation beyond that . nikki : i fail to see how marrying their grandfather would be good for faith and noah . and if nothing else , it would further alienate this family ! sharon : excuse me , would you mind keeping your voice down ? i just put faith down for a nap . nikki : fine . who are you trying to hurt ? adam ? nicholas ? or is this some sick way of getting back at me ? sharon : at you ? nikki : sharon , please . you have always resented me . i know that . you want what i have . sharon : you do n't really ... nikki : you grew up nothing . you grew up a nobody , and so did i. i understand that . but i made something of myself . and my children love me unconditionally . and , yes , i have money . i have influence . i am mrs. newman . sharon : so am i . nikki : ( scoffs ) please . mrs. adam newman ? or mrs. nicholas newman ? it does n't sound quite as powerful as `` mrs. victor newman , `` does it ? has that been your endgame all along ? was that the plan ? to snag the ultimate newman ? ( scoffs ) you 're more of a gold digger than i ever thought . [ scene_break ] nick : now what if i told you that i was gon na marry ashley ? i was gon na be a stepfather to abby . is that the kind of relationship you would like to see me in ? victor : it would n't be any of my business now , would it ? nick : you have known sharon since she was in high school . victor : you can get up and leave now , all right ? thank you for stopping by . nick : you know , i have been angry at you more times than i can count . there 's been times that i 've hated you . but i can honestly say that i have never been as disappointed in you as i am right now . [ scene_break ] victoria : ( sighs ) billy : hey . victoria : ( sighs ) billy : doin ' okay ? victoria : i do n't know . it 's kind of been an incredibly weird morning . billy : yeah . phyllis told me something rather interesting about your father . victoria : yeah , it 's true . he proposed to sharon . my entire family is incredibly upset about it . and i 'm sure that phyllis mentioned that , too . billy : yeah . she also mentioned that she would like to do a cover story for `` restless style . `` victoria : the story on my dad and sharon ? billy : mm - hmm . we figure if we can get out in front of it , maybe we can control the early spin . victoria : you hired her back as editor ? billy : yeah , i did . partly because victor deserves to get skewered because he is a royal son of a ... ( clears throat ) and she 's rather good at her job . you understand that , do n't you ? [ scene_break ] phyllis : hey , everybody . listen up , uh , come around . um , your fearless leader is back . i have risen from the ashes . hold your applause . uh , it is official . billy has hired me back . you can applaud now . man : all right . woman : ( laughs ) phyllis : ( laughs ) i know . fun , right ? okay , so you know the expression `` hold the presses `` ? of course we all know that . i really mean it right now . hold the presses , because we 're about to break a story that is going to be the biggest this magazine has ever seen . man : all right ! all : ( cheering ) phyllis : ( laughs ) [ scene_break ] sharon : for you to suggest that i have been after victor and his money all this time -- that 's your paranoia talking . nikki : ( scoffs ) please . i know an opportunist when i see one . sharon : trust me , if i 'd wanted victor , i 'm sure i could have made that happen a long time ago . there has n't been that much competition . ( door opens ) nick : where 's faith ? sharon : she 's upstairs napping . what -- where are you going ? nikki : well , at least that poor child has one parent who can be counted on . sharon : nick , she was asleep . nick : yeah , well , now she 's gon na sleep at my place . sharon : what ? no . you are not going anywhere with her . we had an agreement . this is my day to have her . nick : you are out of control . i do n't trust your judgment anymore . i do n't want you anywhere near my daughter . sharon : our daughter . nick : i have full custody . that means you do n't have a say . and after this ridiculous engagement -- sharon : oh , that has nothing to do with my being her mother , nick . nick : this goes so far beyond you being a parent to faith . i do n't even know who you are anymore . [ scene_break ] victoria : i feel that my father crossed the line ... billy : mm . victoria : when he hired that woman . and any shred of loyalty that i had left for him is gone . so if you feel that hiring phyllis is going to help you go after my dad and sharon , then i 'm not gon na stop you . billy : you mean that ? victoria : yeah , i mean it . i 'm just -- i 'm really tired of all of the negative attention . so i appreciate you telling me , because at least i can prepare myself , which is a lot more than i can say for my dad . ( sighs ) billy : i 'm sorry that he still gets to you like this . victoria : did you find chelsea ? billy : yeah , i found chelsea . she 's stayin ' at the club . i told her that i wanted that d.n.a . test done as soon as possible and on my terms , and she agreed . victoria : so then i guess before long , you 're gon na know if the baby is yours or not . billy : ( clears throat ) [ scene_break ] chelsea : hurt by a woman . i guess that explains your breakfast . adam : best of luck with you and your baby . chelsea : um , i did n't catch your name . adam : adam newman . billy 's wife -- the woman whose marriage you 're about to destroy is my sister , not that i give a damn about her or anyone in my so- called family . [ scene_break ] ( door opens ) victor : what happened ? sharon : nick came and took faith away . nikki bawled me out . all hell is breaking lose , and somehow , i think this is just the beginning . victor : i told you , i 'm not surprised by people 's reaction . it 'll be hostile for a while . but you keep that ring on your finger , and i promise you , things will change magically for you . sharon : somehow , i find what you 're saying reassuring . i do n't know why . victor : i 'm glad . sharon : you know , you asked me earlier what i had to lose . the answer is nothing at this point . i 'm gon na consider your proposal , and -- and that 's all i can do right now . victor : that 's fair enough . but i know it 's just a matter of time before you decide to become my wife .

nick tells phyllis that he has feelings for her and would like to get back together , but she is still deeply hurt by his relationship with avery and does n't know what to do about nick . phyllis tells nick that when they were married , he always put sharon or some other woman before her , and she needs to know that she will be the only woman in his life . victoria and nick are shocked when nikki tells them that victor proposed to sharon . nick goes to visit victor and tells him that he has never been more disappointed in him than he is now . phyllis tells billy that victor and sharon are engaged and that she found out because she was with nick when victoria called and told him the news . billy hires phyllis back as editor of `` restless style `` and tells her to run with the story . billy later tells victoria that he hired phyllis back and that chelsea agreed to take a dna test on his terms . victoria appreciates billy 's honesty and tells him that if he feels he needs to go after victor , that is fine with her . adam warns chelsea that she better not be lying about her pregnancy , not that he cares if she ruins victoria 's life . he is just tired of people using their kids as an excuse to justify what they do .

[ gasps ] [ scene_break ] adam : impossible to forget last year . i became a father . it 's the single greatest thing that 's ever happened to me . and i walked away from my own father . but let 's not dwell on the past . i 'm only interested in the future . avery : adam ! sorry . i hope i did n't keep you waiting . victor : you left newman the company , but your firm runs on newman business , does n't it ? nikki and her long , lost son , and now adam . did you get into some kind of trouble again , son ? adam : no trouble at all . just meeting with my attorney about making certain that you have no legal rights to my son . [ scene_break ] kevin : that 's him ? the guy who saw whoever killed delia ? alex : no , he 's another possible witness . that 's all he is for now . kevin : yeah , but why would he lie about having information ? alex : george hawkins is n't exactly a fine , upstanding citizen . he 's got a third - strike violation , and he wants to play `` let 's make a deal . `` look . kevin : this is his rap sheet ? alex : yep . you see that ? he 's not the most honest person . kevin : that does n't mean he did n't see something , which is why you 're bothering to talk to him in the first place , right ? alex : kev , did you forget what happened last time with chloe and the scarf in the surgeon 's car ? because i ca n't get that image out of my head when chloe realized that it was n't delia 's scarf . i got your hopes up once . i 'm trying not to do that again . kevin : well , it 's too late . they 're up . this could be it . we could finally have an i.d . on the guy who killed delia . [ scene_break ] victor : you are trying to cut me out of my grandson 's life ? is that how you focus on the future ? that 's how you move on ? seems that everything you do revolves around your father , does n't it ? adam : let me be very clear about this . i will do whatever it takes to make certain that you are not legally , socially , or emotionally responsible for my son . he 's off limits . you can count on that . now , you can fight me on that , and it ai n't gon na be pretty . victor : you bet i will fight you on the right to protect my grandson 's life . avery : gentlemen , let 's not do this . adam : how many times have you disowned me , hmm ? now i 'm simply repaying the favor to you . i 'm nothing to you , you 're nothing to me , and now my son is nothing to you . not because you say so -- because i say so . i 'm the one in control here . and while that might make your brain short - circuit , it 's something you 're gon na have to get used to . victor : so , you 're willing to cut that child out from his family 's life ? why ? to prove how tough you are ? that boy needs rational , capable people to look after him . avery : fine . go at it . i 'm on the clock . more billable hours for me . adam : he has the people he needs in his life -- his mother and me . and you have what you need in your life -- newman - chancellor . hooray for you . victor : i 'm not about to walk away from a child who may need my protection . especially not after what happened to delia . adam : i 'm sure you 're so broken up about that -- the man that kept that little girl from her own father while she was sick with leukemia in the hospital . victor : now , the only grandfather she has known is me . i was heartbroken when delia died . so was the entire community . i 'm sure even you gave a damn . adam : delia is your excuse to power - trip over my son . keep it classy , dad . go try and find some other child to control . connor is off limits . i promise you that . victor : you tell your lawyer that you will pay her for her services , then ask her to move on . avery : uh , i 'm right here . not going anywhere . victor : i will not give up the right to protect my grandson , okay ? you are turning your back on the only parent you have left . that 's an egregious mistake , and you will regret it . adam : the only thing that i regret is not cutting you loose a long , long time ago . this new year and my son 's life , there is no room in it for you . [ scene_break ] chelsea : they 're just rings . anita : wedding rings . chelsea : technically . anita : and if memory serves , one of those rings was on your finger , and now they are ... ? chelsea : adam never got rid of them . that 's all . anita : `` that 's all `` ? well , that 's plenty . that 's him carrying a torch . that 's him wanting to move you and the little munchkin in here . that 's -- has he been making noises about making it legal ? he did . chelsea : [ sighs ] no , no . but then he -- he brushed it off . it was n't real . anita : you scared him off . chelsea : mom , we have a son . we share a home together . of course adam 's gon na consider trying to make this picture - perfect family for connor . but it does n't mean he actually wants to marry me . anita : maybe i have jet lag , but wanting a family and wanting to marry you sound like the same thing . chelsea : no , adam just wants to do what 's best for connor . he just wants to put his son first . that 's all . anita : because that 's what parents do . they want the best for their kids , like i do for you . so , tell me . are you ready to put that ring back on your finger ? i mean , are you ready to make it right with adam after all ? [ scene_break ] victoria : they are beautiful ! billy : they 're just flowers . they 're a symbol . new year 's eve not too long ago , you saved me . you pulled me right out of the gutter . and then you laughed at my boxer shorts . you remember that ? victoria : yeah , of course i remember that . [ victoria remembering ] are you okay ? billy : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm ... victoria : come on . come on . take you home . give me your hand . billy : i 'm coming ! [ back to present ] billy : i have n't forgotten , either . [ clears throat ] or maybe i did . i got lost again , and then you saved me again . victoria : it 's okay . billy : no , you do n't -- you do n't -- it 's not okay . you do n't let me off the hook for this . i reach out , and i pull back . you cut me slack , and we do it all over again . but new year 's eve ... that 's our time . that 's our place . and for me to shut you out and to hurt you , that 's -- that 's -- that 's not okay . victoria : it 's okay . you were hurting . billy : no , i - i -- yeah , i was . i was hurting you . and i ca n't do that anymore , and i 'm not gon na do that anymore ... because i finally got it through my thick skull that we 're gon na ... we 're gon na heal . we 're gon na get past delia 's death , because i 'm with you and i 'm with johnny and we 're still a family and we 're still a couple . i have this life with you . this is our life . and i love you . i love you so much . [ sniffles ] [ chuckles ] okay . oh . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : it 's my mom . i told her to call me when johnny was gon na go down for his nap . billy : okay . take it . victoria : are you sure ? billy : yeah . you know that little guy ca n't sleep without a song from his mama . take it . victoria : okay . okay . i 'll meet you upstairs . billy : yes , ma'am . victoria : hey , mom . is he ready ? [ chuckles ] okay . [ scene_break ] tyler : well , you know , i feel like i probably should stop talking . and abby , she knows how i feel about her . but you are -- you 're right . you deserve to know , too . so , um , i had been living on the west coast . you know , i was doing well for myself . you know , i was doing really good business - wise , really making a name for myself . i helped a start - up company get on the map . but all the fame and the fortune that that comes with , it just -- it was n't doing it for me , so ... abby : yeah , 'cause who wants fame and fortune ? [ both chuckle ] tyler : well , yeah , i made a whole lot of money , and i burned through it pretty quickly . i , uh , i used it to self - medicate , i guess . ashley : why were you self - medicating ? abby : `` let 's grab a coffee . let 's catch up , `` she said . catch up , not psychoanalyze . tyler : it 's fine , abs . i 'm -- i 'm all right talking about it now . um , i 'm not sure how much you 've heard , but , uh , i had a pretty terrible upbringing . my mother was killed when i was a kid , and , uh , we all thought that my dad was the one responsible for it . so , i was really angry for a long time . ashley : understandably . tyler : and it did n't matter how many fast cars or fancy clothes i bought . you know , nothing seemed to make me feel better . so , that 's when i reached out to my sister . she was always my constant . well , my home , you know . but amazing thing is , i seemed to have found another home . and here i thought i was just coming to genoa city and getting a chance to be close to my sister . but now i know why i needed to be here . and , uh , it was abby . she 's why . ashley : i 'm really glad you found her , for both your sakes . abby : well , that was fun , was n't it ? let 's do it again sometime . tyler : [ chuckles ] abby : look who it is . the handsome and talented doctor . stitch : regular coffee , please . abby : dr. rayburn , you remember my mom and her thanksgiving day disaster . stitch : i do very well . how is the ankle , miss abbott ? ashley : all better . [ chuckles ] stitch : excellent . so , have you come back to genoa city permanently ? ashley : oh , no . i 'm actually on my way out again today . but like i told you before , if i do decide to break something in the future , i 'll make sure i do it here . stitch : i 'll have to keep my schedule open just in case . safe trip . come back soon , all right ? ashley : okay . i will . kelly : `` i 'll keep my schedule open just in case . `` your bedside manner is interesting . so , should i assume that you and your wife are over ? stitch : i 'm not gon na talk about her with you . [ scene_break ] anita : the answer is yes , if you need me to spell it out . you and adam are due for a reunion . chelsea : so you can start drooling over his bank account again ? anita : honey , you know me . i believe in love , fun , and financial security -- not in that order -- and look at me . [ sighs ] not much of any of them . chelsea : oh , stop it . [ chuckling ] no pity party , please . you were just in florida doing what ? being miserable ? no . you were having fun . and you have the money to go . anita : but no love . maybe that 's why money looks so good to me . always has . you can put your faith in a bank account , but another person -- a man , no less -- takes a lot more nerve than i have . and i 'm paying the price for being a wimp . i see how adam looks at you . he was so mad when he thought that baby was dylan 's , because he wanted to give you a baby . he wanted to be your family . and that 's love . that 's the real thing . i never had it . but you do . or you could if you 're not a wimp like me . chelsea : after all these years of grifting , you 're actually a romantic . anita : honey , i 'm a lot of things . so , are you going to have all the bells and whistles with adam or -- chelsea : mom , mom , what do you want me to do ? get on one knee and ask adam to marry me ? no . it 's not gon na happen . maybe i 'm a wimp , too . but i 'm here with my baby and with adam , and it 's wonderful . and since he might not actually ever propose , it just ... it has to be enough . anita : you two have done a number on each other . he 's gun - shy , like you . [ sighs ] but you have to figure it out . please . for the love , not for the money . for the love . oh , i got to go . i have a big beauty appointment to look my shiny best and because you never know when mr . right now is gon na be around the corner . chelsea : [ chuckles ] oh , uh , uh , mom . i 'm really glad that you 're home . anita : me , too , sweetheart . and if he does pop the question ... you make sure you get a bigger ring next time . [ pats arm ] okay chelsea : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] adam : jack has agreed to be connor 's godfather and not just in an honorary capacity . avery : so , you want to structure a legal relationship ? adam : i want jack to be the legal guardian of my son if i 'm out of the picture . avery : okay , adam , chelsea is his mother , so if something happened to you , chelsea would retain custody . unless you called me here to play some kind of custody - battle game behind her back , in which case i am not interested in doing that . adam : it 's nothing like that . it 's nothing like that . chelsea is , and always will be , the most important thing in connor 's life . i am simply the dad . i ca n't compete . you should see the two of them together . it 's a thing of beauty . avery : you sound like the two of you are in a very good place right now . adam : and you sound surprised . avery : well , it ca n't be easy after everything . adam : was n't easy . then again , it was just about the easiest thing in the world , because she 's the right person . maybe you know what i 'm talking about . avery : i do . but you did n't call me here to talk about me and dylan . adam : well , i fully intend on having a lifetime of familial bliss , but things happen , as you and i know . and i want my son cared for -- and not by victor . that man will get no rights to my son . not even a sliver of an opportunity to influence him , okay ? that 's why i want it legalized that jack be the designated guardian for my son . iron - clad , airtight , victor - proof . now , i 'm sure my old man will hem and haw and he 'll raise hell . but i will not allow him to mess with my family . [ scene_break ] victor : did you get what i asked for ? the whereabouts of all the drivers the night that delia was killed ? p.i . : it 's all there . [ scene_break ] kelly : you 're right . we have no business talking about your wife -- or anything else , for that matter . stitch : you know , we 're both in genoa city , so this is gon na happen . so let 's just keep it simple and not talk at all . kelly : we agree again . [ scene_break ] tyler : well , i 'm sorry to hear that you 're taking off . i know how happy abby is whenever you 're in town , so ... abby : especially when you question my boyfriends . that 's when i 'm the happiest . [ laughs ] no , i really do love having you here . ashley : i know . i love being here , too , honey . but i do have to go . one quick stop , then i 'm off to the airport . abby : i know i 'm an adult and i do n't technically need my mommy , but i like you . i like having you here . i like grabbing a coffee and talking in person . ashley : wow . you like me ? abby : i do ! [ laughs ] ashley : that 's so great . that 's the nicest thing you 've ever said to me . [ laughs ] i think . i like you , too , and i 'm gon na be back more often , and soon . i promise . abby : good . ashley : okay ? i love you . abby : i love you . ashley : bye , tyler . tyler : take care . abby : hmm . tyler : you okay ? [ scene_break ] avery : of course we can prevent victor from getting close to connor . grandparents ' rights are very limited in general . and if you designate jack as guardian , there 's no reason it should n't stand up in court . adam : well , my father will fight like hell in or out of court , and the last thing that my son deserves is to have that megalomaniac trying to control his life . avery : okay . i assume chelsea is on board with jack as guardian ? adam : we have not discussed it as of yet , but she would approve . avery : adam -- adam : no , she has stood up to my father about that issue on more than one occasion . she 's a fierce mama bear where that 's concerned . avery : okay , but that does n't mean she would choose jack as guardian . the two of you need to be in agreement before we can make up any documents . adam : it wo n't be an issue , but i will be happy to discuss it with her when i get home . avery : then that 's as far as we can take this for now . and actually , i 'm glad that this is just about making contingencies for connor . honestly , i thought you called me here to talk about the video that i 'm keeping for you . adam : i remember you were n't supposed to watch any of that . avery : of course not . as per agreement , i 've just kept it safe for you . adam : you know , i do n't think that video is gon na be necessary anymore , so i 'll take it off your hands . avery : okay , good . i 'm glad it 's not a problem . you seemed agitated by whatever is on that video . adam : true . but everything is different now . [ scene_break ] kevin : hey , are you gon na make sure that -- thanks . thanks . alex : so , mr. hawkins ... i hear you want to make a deal . that 's interesting . little girl is dead and parents are heartbroken . in fact , the whole town is heartbroken . and you might know something . maybe , sort of . but you wo n't tell me anything unless there 's something in it for you . [ laughs ] god , great . okay . what do you want ? inmate : to walk from this bust . alex : uh , this bust ? you mean armed robbery , felony ? your third , might i add . now , i ca n't make all this just disappear . what i can do is i can go to the d.a . , and she can lessen the charges . start talking . [ scene_break ] victor : so , two of the suspects were out of town the night of the incident . two had their cars in the shop . one woman bought a new s.u.v . the day after the incident . and one surgeon was in the operating room . that leaves one driver ... and my son , adam . i think i told you my son went to an eye specialist the night that delia was killed . did you do some research on his whereabouts ? p.i . : i 've got newman 's time in and out of the parking garage from the attendant that was there . if he went straight home , then the accident site is out of his way . victor : huh . [ sniffs ] if , on the other hand -- think about that for a minute -- if he 'd gotten bad news from the doctor about his son 's eye condition , he might have been driving around to clear his head . and if he had taken a different route ... p.i . : then he would have been there at the moment of impact . [ scene_break ] alex : a little girl is dead , and you 're just dancing on her grave . i ca n't stand people like you . you want a free pass for being a dirtbag . tell you what . if you do n't tell me what i want to know right now -- i mean , right now -- i 'm gon na throw you back in a cell and let you rot in there . okay . inmate : i saw it all . alex : a file here says that you live approximately a mile from the accident site . you saw the car hit the girl ? inmate ; no , just the car taking off . alex : what about a license plate ? you see that , smart guy ? inmate : and i saw the driver who killed the kid . [ scene_break ] billy : you just missed vicki . ashley : well , i was hoping to see her , but i needed to see you . i needed -- i needed to see your face . billy : make sure i did n't slip away ? ashley : you did n't , did you ? look , i know it 's never gon na be okay again , but you seem a little better . billy : well , it happened . people said it would . i did n't believe them , but , uh ... it gets a little bit less brutal every single day . and most of that is because of my wife . [ scene_break ] victoria : oh ! hey , stitch . how are you ? stitch : doing well . you ? victoria : [ sighs ] good . i 'm just picking up a treat for johnny before i get him from my mom 's . organic . no refined sugar . that sort of treat . stitch : i 'm wearing the scrubs , but i 'm not on duty . and everyone could use a treat now and then . victoria : that 's true . stitch : you look happy . more so than the last time we talked . victoria : i really am . something happened on new year 's eve . somehow , someway , billy realized that johnny and i are -- are there for him . i ca n't tell you how happy that makes me . [ laughs ] stitch : you do n't have to . it 's all over your face . treats definitely seem in order . victoria : yeah . well , take care . stitch : yeah . victoria : oh ! hey . hey , kelly . kelly : hey . victoria : how are you ? kelly : good . victoria : it 's nice to see you . um , how was your new year 's ? kelly : uneventful . victoria : oh . well , listen , i 'm really glad that i ran into you . i just -- i really want to tell you how grateful i am that you 've been able to help billy . it really , really means the world to me . [ scene_break ] abby : i have to say , you were brilliant handling my mom and all of her questions . honestly , `` intentions `` [ laughs ] i have never seen her get so 1950s before . she would look fab in a pillbox hat , though . tyler : yeah , i would n't say that i was handling her , you know . i just told the truth . abby : so , all those pretty things you said about me making genoa city feel like home ? tyler : well , i mean , i 'm still here , are n't i ? and it 's not just because of leslie . genoa city , it 's -- it 's home now . i 'm not hiding anymore . you know , i 'm not dodging my past and pretending that things did n't happen . and it has a lot to do with you . abby : [ laughs ] tyler : so , now that i 've said all that , are you gon na pick a fight , try taking off on me ? abby : who would ever do that ? me ? never . [ both laugh ] tyler : okay , well ... does that mean that we can talk about where we 're headed ? you know , you , me , the future ? abby : one day at a time . that 's our thing , right ? tyler : well , i mean , it was our thing , but ... maybe it 's time for a new thing . [ scene_break ] avery : hey ! hello ! stitch : hey . avery : happy new year . are you on duty for the holiday ? stitch : ah , i let the other docs party and volunteered . you ? avery : oh , you know , who needs noisemakers and champagne when there are briefs to write ? and with dylan out of town , it made sense . stitch : any word from him ? got to be rough looking for info on a father you wish you were n't related to . avery : yeah . [ cell phone rings ] avery : oh ! speak of the devil . hi . how are you ? stitch is here with me . stitch : stitch was here . come home soon , bud ! avery : no , no , no . you stay . you stay . hey . how are you ? what 'd you find out ? dylan : what have i found out ? uh , found out that northern idaho is freakin ' cold and this town defines `` the middle of nowhere . `` and , uh , when i 'm away from you , i miss you a lot . [ scene_break ] ashley : you look good . billy : ha . thanks . ashley : you do . so , how 'd you do it ? what happened ? billy : well , like it always does -- hit rock bottom . ashley : uh - oh . gambling ? billy : no . ashley : sorry . none of my business . billy : no , it 's fine . i could see myself , you know , when you watch a movie and you want to yell at the screen . there i was rock bottom , and , uh ... i realized i could n't stay there . drowning in my own grief , dragging my family down there with me . i needed to reach out and grab on and ... there was victoria . just like when she drove me home from jimmy 's bar . you remember that ? and now i 'm back . and i 'm gon na continue to hold on , because life without her , without johnny , without you guys ... that 's just not a life i want to live . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] adam : chelse ! chelsea : we need to talk . adam : that 's actually supposed to be my line . and we do need to talk about something . chelsea : uh , uh , first we need to do this now . you have rings in your drawer . our rings . and we talked about the future , and then [ clears throat ] you mentioned marriage . you did . but then you just kind of brushed it off . but i want you to know , if there was something real there -- adam : suppose there is something very real there . [ scene_break ] avery : so , these people knew your father 's family , but they would n't tell you anything ? dylan : nobody wants to talk about the town black sheep , especially to a stranger . let sleeping dogs lie and all that . avery : i 'm sorry . i wish you found what you were looking for . dylan : it 's not over yet . there is one person -- one person willing to talk , and we 're gon na meet tomorrow . avery : listen , no matter what you find out ... [ sighs ] ... dylan , you 're you . no one else , okay ? no one else 's mistakes can taint you . will you remember that ? dylan ? dylan : [ sighs ] thank you . i 'll -- i 'll call you tomorrow . [ scene_break ] abby : so , you do n't want to take this one day at a time , which means ... ? tyler : well , i mean , we live on opposite ends of town . we 're spending all this time and money going back and forth . you know , we could be spending it together . i say ... we get our own place . abby : you and me live together ? tyler : yeah , i mean , you 'd still have your own space or whatever the female version of a man cave is . or we just continue on the way things are and , you know , you at your place , me at mine . abby : what do you want ? tyler : well , i 'll tell you what i do n't want . i do n't want to have to wonder if i 'm gon na see you at night or in the morning , you know . i want to know that you 're gon na be there . i want to maybe look up from work and see you sitting on the couch . but not one that 's as ugly as the one i got at my place now , you know ? being around you , it feels good . why would n't i want more of that ? but it 's up to you . abby : let 's call the movers . tyler : yeah ? abby : we 're moving in together .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : do you mean it ? adam : if i said i was serious about what i proposed , what would you say ? chelsea : i 'd say yes . adam : then i 'm serious . so ... chelsea : yes . [ chuckles ] yes . [ chuckles ] [ laughs ] [ scene_break ] victor : so , what we have is conjecture . no definitive proof that adam was driving the car that killed delia . there was another driver . p.i . : the other driver was laid up with a broken leg . victor : well , what if someone borrowed his car ? p.i . : [ sighs ] then there 's this . check out that charge . victor : what the hell is that ? auto - supply store . what did he order ? p.i . : a replacement turn light . victor : and the order was made under a corporate name . but with adam 's credit card . wow . so adam ... killed delia . oh .

[ chuckles ] wait till your grandmother finds out about it . victoria : oh , boy , yeah . reed : no one 's more stoked than i am . victor : well , we are stoked . i promise you . so what are your plans ? reed : like today or ... ? victor : no , where do you plan to go to high school ? reed : oh , i 'm going to gc high . i 'm registering there , and they 've got a really cool music program . i already checked it out . victor : good . victoria : reed , the power strip that you 're looking for is in the hall closet , sweetheart . reed : oh , cool . thanks , mom . victoria : okay . why are you looking at me like that ? victor : sweetheart . reed suddenly shows up on your doorstep out of nowhere ? and we do n't find out about it ? what 's going on ? noah : please do n't tell grandma i got you two of these . please . faith : i wo n't . noah : what 's up ? huh ? got you hot chocolate . you look all bummed out . what 's going on ? faith : i just did n't know the reason you picked me up was to give me a lecture . noah : whoa . hey . first of all , not the reason , okay ? and second of all , it 's not a lecture , all right ? it 's more like a reality check . come on , faith . you -- you 're living with your grandparents , and both your mom and your dad are -- are fully capable of raising you . what 's more , they want to , all right ? even you must know this ca n't last forever . faith : thought it was my choice . noah : it is your choice . and look , i promise you nothing needs to change right this second , okay ? but this is really rough on mom and dad , you know , not seeing you all the time . faith : and dylan . noah : yes , and dylan . yeah . faith : now that christian 's gone , i 'm kind of all he has left . i mean , he has you and mariah , too , but ... noah : no , you 're right . you 're right . you 're still young , and you 're living at the house . dylan is a father figure to you in a way that he ca n't be for mariah and me . and you know what ? that 's awesome that you recognize that . you have a really big heart . faith : i think about them all the time -- mom , dad , dylan . i do n't want to hurt them . noah : i know that . hey , and for the record , they know it , too . faith : dad and i spent new year 's eve together . it was really cool . noah : yeah . but , you know , maybe -- maybe , you know , you do n't wait for special occasions , you know ? maybe one day after school you just knock on dad 's door , you know , or go to mom 's house , ask her if she wants to go shopping right ? faith : dylan hates shopping . noah : yeah . faith : i do , too , really . [ chuckles ] noah : all right , well , you know what ? a movie . whatever , you know ? because times are really hard on mom and dad right now . and i 'm not putting that on you , okay ? faith , you are not responsible for their happiness . but it 's just when -- when things are unsettled like this , you know , it means a lot for the person that you love to -- to reach out , you know ? it 's like a -- like a reminder that some things , you know , the best things have n't changed . sharon : she 's not here . nikki : well , imagine that . sharon : where is my daughter , nikki ? faith should have been home from school by now . nikki : if you had let me get a word in , i would have told you she is out with noah . sharon : [ sighs ] nikki : but god forbid you should come in here and not make a scene . sharon : i 'm sorry . nikki : what was that ? sharon : i - i 'm sorry . i - i - i overreacted . nikki : oh , my god . those are two words -- no , four words that i never thought i would hear come out of your mouth . look , sharon , faith choosing to live with us , i know that must be very difficult for you . sharon : i miss my daughter more than i can say . nikki : i understand , but is it something more than that ? is it something about dylan ? sharon , what have you done to my son now ? lily : i 'm really scared . neil : yeah , i know . we all are . lily : did stitch say how long the surgery would take ? is this even normal ? hilary : he did n't give us a set time frame . lily : [ sniffles ] i was n't talking to you . what are you even doing here ? hilary : my husband is in the hospital . where else would i be ? lily : your husband made it perfectly clear that he wants nothing to do with his lying , scheming wife ! neil : that 's enough . hilary : only you would blow in here and make this about our petty differences while your brother is fighting for his life ! lily : and whose fault is that ? ! neil : please . all of us are very emotional right now . fighting and finger- pointing is n't gon na solve this situation . lily : [ voice breaking ] we would n't be in this situation if she had n't created it . hilary : okay , just stop it ! stop it now , okay ? ! do you want to bring up old grudges ? you want to drag my name through the mud ? okay , fine . go ahead . be my guest . but just go and do it somewhere else ! oh ! great . another person who thinks that i 'm to blame for everything . mariah : how 's devon ? hilary : he 's still in surgery . mariah : how long has it been ? hilary : hours . mariah : i was so sorry to hear about the accident . hilary : yeah , you should be sorry , because you 're just as responsible as i am , if not more . lily : you are not seriously blaming this on mariah . hilary : if she did n't pull her little stunt at the benefit , devon would n't be in this position . lily : are you delusional ? you were the one who created this . you could n't handle being on the sidelines . instead of handling it like an adult , you had to go after mariah and attack her and embarrass her ! neil : hey . how 'd it go ? hilary : is -- is devon okay ? lily : please say that you have good news . please . stitch : devon 's out of surgery . he 's being moved to icu . neil : thank god . when can we see him ? hilary : [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] stitch : there 's something i think you all need to understand . it 's good news he pulled through surgery . but devon 's far from out of danger . stitch : devon 's accident was severe . apparently he careened off the road at over 100 miles an hour . hilary : oh , my god . stitch : he has internal damage to his organs and a serious concussion . neil : but he can make a full recovery , right ? stitch : we 're gon na do the best we can . i promise you that . i have to get back . neil : keep us informed , would you ? please . stitch : of course . neil : thanks . mariah : i mean , he got through the first hurdle , right ? he -- he handled surgery like a champ . that 's huge . lily : i ca n't believe this is happening . mariah : look , i - i hate to mention this . i really , really do . but we 're supposed to tape a show tonight . hilary : do you really think that i give a damn about gc buzz right now ? come on , mariah . i 'm not leaving this hospital . mariah : i get that . i understand . i - i just want to know what you want me to tell roz . hilary : i do n't know . why do n't you host the show ? you 're obviously dying to tell everyone what i did . mariah : i 'm so sorry , hilary . i never thought that it would turn out like this . hilary : because you did n't think -- period . you were so hellbent on getting back at me that you were willing to risk devon 's life . mariah : no , no , you know that that 's not -- i hope you keep me updated on his condition . sharon : there 's been no fight , okay ? dylan loves me . i love him . we 're fine . in fact , we 're wonderful . nikki : really ? then why did you blow in here like a hurricane ? sharon : i - i never should have come here . nikki : yeah , but you did , and the minute i brought up dylan , it changed your entire demeanor . so what 's going on ? sharon : i ca n't talk about it , okay ? nikki : if this involves my son , i need to know . has something happened ? sharon : no . nikki : is he all right ? sharon : dylan 's fine , okay ? he -- he -- he had to go out of town on assignment . that 's all . nikki : assignment ? what does that mean ? where is he ? sharon , please talk to me ! faith : i 'm home ! nikki : hi , honey . victoria : leave it to you to think there 's some big conspiracy . victor : sweetheart , i mean , to be honest with you , i think this is a little strange . your son shows up suddenly out of nowhere and you do n't tell your family about it ? what are you not saying ? victoria : okay , look , fine . i give up , all right ? reed ran away . j.t . did n't know about it . apparently he got some big promotion . victor : j.t . did ? victoria : yes , and he wants to move the entire family to warsaw . victor : warsaw ? whoa . that 's a hell of a move . and let me guess . reed is not too enthusiastic about it . victoria : he wants to finish school here in the u.s . i tried to sell him on the whole european thing , but i ca n't blame him . i 'd feel the same way if i was him . victor : so what does j.t . say about all this ? victoria : not much . i guess things have been real dicey between the two of them . victor : really ? victoria : he has n't been very forthcoming at all . hey , honey . did you find the power strips ? everything good ? reed : yeah . amp 's back in business . victoria : oh , yes . victor : reed , uh , sit down for a moment . let 's catch up a little . reed : all right . victor : yeah . i mean , this is a big surprise , you know . reed : [ chuckles ] victor : it 's a hell of a surprise . reed : yeah . hilary : you guys do n't have to hang around here . i 'll call you when devon regains consciousness . neil : he 's my son , and i need to be here . lily : i 'm not going anywhere . neil : and i do n't want to leave you alone , either . stitch : devon 's settled in icu . hilary : can i see him ? lily : yeah , i 'd like to see him , as well , please . stitch : one at a time . we 'll start with his wife . come on . hilary : thank you . lily : [ sighs ] wife . yeah . try tormentor . neil : deep breaths . lily : [ sobs ] i do n't know if i can handle this . neil : i got you . and we all got devon , together . hilary : oh , god , devon .

[ sighs ] god knows i can use all the help i can get , right ? victor : i am always right . right ? victoria : right , dad . victor : right . sharon : when nikki told me that you two were together , well , let me just say i was one happy mom . so what 'd you guys do ? faith : noah picked me up from school , and then we went out for hot chocolate . i only had one . sharon : mmmm . noah : we had a blast . had time to catch up . sharon : aww . i 'm so glad . faith : so , mommy ... sharon : so , faith ... faith : i was gon na call you to ask you if i could come over this afternoon . there are some books i want to get . sharon : well , you know you do n't have to ask . just because you 're not living there does n't mean it 's not your home . it is your home , too , you know . faith : that 's okay with you , right , grandma ? nikki : oh , honey , of course . absolutely . faith : [ chuckles ] sharon : well , shall we go now ? faith : sure . sharon : okay . nikki : uh , wait a minute . homework ? is it finished ? noah : done . checked by her big bro . she aced it . sharon : thank you . noah : of course . hey , i will call you later . and next time , ice skating in the park . faith : deal . noah : deal ? sharon : bye . noah : bye . faith : bye . nikki : bye , sweetheart . sharon ! i hope we can finish our conversation . sharon : it 's finished .

[ sighs ] i wish he had picked up . really i just want to hear his voice , you know , and make sure he 's okay . victor : well , you left a message . i 'm sure he 'll call back . where 's faith , by the way ? nikki : oh , she 's at sharon 's . victor : oh . nikki : it was faith 's idea , and , uh , she wanted to go over there . i - i thought it would be good for them . victor : well , i guess it is , you know ? she needs to be where she wants to be , and i think she needs to spend some time with her mother , i mean , no matter what we think about that woman . sharon : no , sweetie . dylan and i are not getting a divorce . faith : then why is n't he wearing his wedding ring ? sharon : well , sometimes he takes it off and he leaves it here for work , you know , when he 's dealing with the bad guys , and he does n't want them to know anything about his personal life . faith : like if he 's married or not ? sharon : exactly . i remember the first time when he took it off . i - i was worried about what it meant , but dylan assured me that everything was fine , and it was . just like now . faith : so dylan 's doing something dangerous ? i want to call him and tell him i 'm thinking about him . sharon : you ca n't . you know , his phone 's right there . but before he left this morning , he asked me to tell you something . faith : what ? sharon : that he 's gon na be gone awhile . and , um , he 's sorry he did n't get a chance to say goodbye to you , but that he loves you very , very much and he misses you . faith : i love him , too , mom . and i hope he comes home really soon . lily : devon , can you hear us ? ! neil : hey . lily : devon ! neil : open your eyes , man . lily : i think he 's waking up . neil : i 'm gon na go get the doctors . lily : devon ! neil : he 's waking up . he 's waking up ! let me get stitch ! hilary : neil said that he 's waking up ? lily : i thought he was . hilary : what 's happening ?

[ previously_on ] victoria : reed was driving the car that hit my mother . charlie ashby had been drinking . he wanted to drive , but he could n't , so reed drove for him , and they did n't say anything until now . devon : yeah , but you been dealing with a lot , man . your wife just spent the holidays behind bars . cane : yeah . the thing is when i go and see her , it 's like she 's not the same person anymore . she just looks at me like i do n't get it . i 'm not living the same life she is . i do n't see what she sees . victoria : it was a lot -- a lot of stress and a lot of pressure -- and , at some point , it was bound to explode , which it did . and i reacted by doing something stupid , reckless , and impulsive . rey : you do understand you have the right to an attorney ? victor : not the first time i 've been arrested , you know . christine : so , you came out of a coma and immediately formulated a plan to leave the country ? nikki : i begged victor to do this for me . victoria : i think her color seems to be improved , and her energy level 's up . nick : yeah . she looks better than she should . nikki : i 'm right here , guys . i feel better because i know that your father is safe and sound . victoria : nick and i know the feeling . can you imagine us rushing in here to find your bed empty ? nikki : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry i put you through that . nick : it was dad 's idea to yank you out of the hospital . nikki : he kept it secret so that neither of you could be found liable by the police . nick : and we could n't do anything to stop him . victoria : i mean , can you blame us ? taking you off to god knows where -- it was just way too risky . nikki : well , nate came to take care of me , and i hope that he wo n't wind up being the scapegoat in this whole thing . i need to call him . nick : no , mom . mom , take it easy , okay ? you already told christine that it was your idea to leave the hospital , so she 's not pressing charges against nate or me . victoria : or dad . nikki : oh ! thank goodness . so , where is your father ? what ? what is it ? tell me . victoria : mom ... dad has been arrested for j.t . 's murder . jill : i wanted to surprise you , so i stopped by the office on my way back from the airport , and they told me that you were n't in this week . cane : yeah . well , there 's fewer interruptions here , and i kind of have to tend to the pile - up from the christmas break . jill : oh , sweetie , the holidays must have been a kick in the teeth without lily , huh ? cane : yeah , they were . anyway , what -- what did you guys -- where did you guys spend the holiday season ? let me guess -- bondi ? no , noosa ? jill : actually , both . colin stayed with people on the sunshine coast , and i stayed in sydney . cane : okay . jill : yeah . we 're taking a break from marriage . cane : [ sighs heavily ] i ca n't believe he was that stupid to let you go . jill : [ chuckles ] that 's very sweet of you to say -- about me , anyway -- but it was n't like that . it 's really nobody 's fault . you know , colin is the same guy i married . he 's handsome and witty and fun - loving , and , oh , my god , he 's charming as hell . but he can be very infuriating at times . and i 'm coming in to the next phase of my life , and the next man i 'm gon na be with is ... well , will be reliable , rock - solid , somebody i can lean on emotionally , you know ? cane : which is n't exactly my dad 's wheelhouse . jill : [ chuckles ] darling , i know . i 'm the one who paid for his boat . when it comes to picking mr . right , though , not everybody can be as fortunate as lily . she got the full package with you . what ? what is it ? cane : i do n't know . i do n't know . maybe i 'm just more like my dad than i care to admit . jill : [ laughing ] oh , my god . i love you , cane . but that is the most ridiculous thing i 've ever heard you say . reed : mom 's at the hospital . johnny and katie are skating with hannah . um , you can hang out , but i 'm gon na go for a run . billy : before you take off , you got a second to talk ? reed : about what ? billy : g.c . 's latest news . reed : grandpa getting arrested for the murder of my dad ? billy : yeah . reed : well , my grandma kept repeating over and over that he was innocent . obviously , they found some serious dirt to charge his highness , victor newman . billy : well , we do n't know if that 's true yet . reed : you 're starting to sound like my mom . billy : is that why you 're avoiding her ? you do n't want to listen to her defend victor ? reed : look , i get that she 's loyal to her dad . ca n't i be that way with mine ? i need to know what happened to him . i ca n't just let him disappear off the face of the planet like nobody cared . and i 'm not going to accept that grandpa ca n't be guilty , no matter how much mom and grandma wish it were true . billy : do you think he 's guilty ? reed : i do n't know . i hope he 's not . but him staying out of the country , dodging the police -- i mean , this looks really bad . would n't have come back at all except -- billy : except you brought him out of hiding . reed : me ? billy : he came back because of nikki 's hit - and - run accident . and you 're the one that hit her ... and ran . nikki : i want to speak to rey rosales . victoria : mom , i really do n't think that 's wise . nikki : he arrested your father with no evidence . nick : well , except for what they found at the ranch in the stables . nikki : which was obviously planted , son ! somebody started that fire to lead the police to those phony clues . i do n't know why rosales is harassing your father when he could be out looking for the real arsonist or the person who hit me and left me by the side of the road to die . i mean , we know that your father is innocent , and we 're gon na do nothing ? nick : no . i 'm gon na go see dad and do whatever i can . nikki : even with the way you feel about him ? nick : it 's the way i feel about you . that 's what 's important . i will help dad if you promise me you will stay calm and just get well . nikki : i promise . keep me updated , okay ? nick : will do . i love you . nikki : i love you . sweetheart , go . go with your brother , please . victoria : no , mom . i want to stay and talk to you about something . nikki : what could be more urgent than this ? nothing . victoria : i think that nick 's offer to help dad is very sincere . nikki : and , yes , it could lead them to a new beginning . but knowing the strain that your father is under and the bad blood between him and nicholas , i mean , it could turn in to a battle of egos and tempers , and that is why it 's important that you be there . all right ? whatever you want to talk to me about can wait . ( rooster morning call ) additional sponsorship jill : you 're actually trying to tell me that you think you 're a chip off the old colin block ? seriously . what is that about ? cane : i 've been a bit of a disappointment in myself lately . that 's all . jill : in what way ? cane : you 're nothing without her . you know what they say . i know it 's a cliché , but damn if it is n't true . you know , when lily was here , she , uh -- she did so much for this family that i did n't appreciate , and now she 's gone . i 'm just falling short in so many areas , you know ? i mean , the project i told you about -- we 're about two months behind on that , and that 's cost us millions , and the kids see how stressed out i am , so they do n't come to me with their problems until they 're in crisis mode . and as far as being a husband goes -- [ sighs ] jill : what about that ? cane : lily deserves better . let 's just leave it at that , okay ? billy : [ sighs ] when it looked like your grandmother was n't gon na make it ... i did n't know that you thought that you might be responsible . that must have been brutal for you . reed : i 've never felt so bad about anything in my life . billy : i get it . i 've been there . it ... eats you up from the inside out . [ sighs ] when delia died ... reed : billy ... you did n't kill your daughter . uncle adam was the one who hit her , and -- and he hit her by accident . billy : yeah , but i was just as guilty . i 'm the one that left her in the car with her dog , alone , while i went to go get ... ice cream . and no one 's ever gon na convince me otherwise . reed , your grandmother 's still alive ... so you get to learn from this . you get to ... heal ... and move on with your life . reed : i still feel so bad and so ashamed for -- for what i did to grandma but also my mom . i mean ... that 's why i ca n't stand to be around her right now . billy : talk to her about it . the same loyalty she has for your grandfather , she has double for you . reed : maybe we do n't deserve it . billy : there 's nothing that you 're ever gon na do that would make your mom turn her back on you . ever . and as far as your grandfather , let 's just wait till all the facts come out ... before we start judging , okay ? reed : that makes sense . victoria : michael 's heard nothing . why would dad not even contact his lawyer ? nick : maybe refusing to play the game is a stronger position than playing it and possibly losing . victoria : do you still doubt his innocence ? nick : after recent evidence , dad looks even more guilty . i told him so myself . victoria : do you know what your suspicions are doing to our dad ? nick : it 's not my job to figure out what happened to j.t . i am here , for mom 's sake , to help dad with his legal case . that is all . [ door opens ] victoria : dad . victor : hi , sweetheart . i assure you this is nothing but a brief inconvenience . nick : well , if that 's the case , then tell us what we can do to get you out of here . victor : since when is that a concern of yours ? the day after chemo might mean a trip back to victoria : you came as soon as you could . victor : yeah . obviously not fast enough to get your mother out of danger before the cops caught on . but i 'm glad i was able to spend some time with her when she needed me . victoria : i want you by her side again . let me call michael . victor : that 's unnecessary . christine williams does n't have enough to convict me . she knows it . so i 'm not taking this seriously . victoria : what about the effect the arrest is having on newman enterprises ? victor : we repaired that damage once the charges have been dropped . nick : if the charges are dropped . dad , you got to be realistic . victor : the reality , son , is that christine williams has only circumstantial evidence . nick : even if that 's the case , christine has won circumstantial cases before . she can easily help the jury connect the dots . victor : and what dots are there to connect ? nick : dad , you threatened j.t . on live television . they found his bloody shirt on your ranch with your gun . you eluded the police out of the country , on the run for months . victor : i was doing business overseas . nick : while avoiding questioning and arrest . this is how it looks for you . i 'm sorry . it looks bad . we need to find a way to counter the narrative . victor : `` we `` ? you mean you and i are on the same team ? is that it ? that sounds about as credible as this fictional circumstantial evidence . victoria : no . it 's true . this is our family pulling together in a time of emergency , just like you raised us to be . victor : our family pulling together ? has your brother told you that he suspects that i may have killed j.t . hellstrom ? nick : just because i asked the question does n't necessarily mean i believe it . victor : it 's a fair question , son . the fact that you do n't necessarily believe it is really warming my heart . that 's what a father likes to hear . do you share your brother 's belief that i 'm a murderer ? victoria : not one bit . victor : thank you for that . and thank you for looking after your mother and after newman enterprises while i 'm away . it means a lot to me . it 's a relief to have you around , you know . victoria : yes . you can count on me . victor : i know . nick : [ sighs ] victor : okay . would you mind ? uh , i need to have a word with your brother alone . victoria : i 'll see you soon . victor : bye . [ breathes deeply ] total honesty . nick : what do you want to know ? victor : did you kill j.t . hellstrom ? ( vo ) for a nasty cold , nick : you ca n't seriously be asking me that . victor : not only is the question serious , it 's fair . i mean , you had as much of a motive to get rid of j.t . hellstrom as anyone after you learned what he had done to your sister . and then ... genius ... you tried to pin the whole thing on me ... your father , whom you despise . nick : that 's all you got . victor : you impersonated j.t . hellstrom . you hacked into the newman system . were n't you worried that j.t . might suddenly come upon you and expose what you were doing ? you were n't worried about that , were you ... because you already knew he was dead ? nick : i did n't know where he was . victor : you could have planted the bloody shirt and the gun in the stables and then burned the damn thing down . no one would have suspected you . nick : but i did n't do that , and you know it , because i would never , ever put mom through that . victor : i think you mean that . and for your mother 's sake ... i want you to make me a promise . jill : come on . you 're not telling me anything . there must be something specific you did to let lily down . cane : it 's multiple things , really . jill : such as ? cane : i do n't know . they seem small . but when you 're in prison a couple hundred miles from home , all you really have are the small things , right ? jill : like ? cane : i , uh [ sighs ] i only went to visit her once during the kids ' christmas break . i missed phone calls , and i have n't really been , you know , very present in the kids ' lives . jill : okay . i 've heard enough . cane : well , you wanted examples , did n't you ? jill : yeah , i 've got some examples . if i sat down with lily right this minute and i asked her to rate as a husband and father , all i would hear would be raves . i mean , she knows how fortunate she is to have you here so she has something to come back to after the nightmare is over . honey , of course you 've made mistakes . everybody makes mistakes . but lily 's not gon na remember those . neither are the kids . you know what they 'll remember ? that you always stepped up and you loved them and you did your absolute best , okay ? and , uh , i 'm gon na let you in on a little more wisdom . these children of yours , these bright , gorgeous , exceptional children -- they 're gon na make mistakes , too . maybe only a few and maybe a whole hell of a lot . how do you want them to handle those , hmm ? do you want them to beat themselves up over them and just stop trying , or do you want them to learn from their screw - ups and forgive themselves and do better next time ? cane : of course choice `` b. `` jill : well , then , you damn well need to set a better example . got it ? i do n't hear you . cane : i 've got it . and now i know exactly what i have to do next . victoria : billy ! billy : hey ! i 'm in the kitchen ! i did n't hear you come in . victoria : oh . that 's , um -- that 's a new look for you . billy : yeah . i 'm just , uh , making dinner for you and the kids . it 's all done . just have to plate it . victoria : thank you . i was just upstairs . reed 's not here . billy : he went for a jog . he 's got a lot of tension to burn off . but i have to say that he 's handling it better than i would have expected . victoria : i 'm not judging him . i understand the pressure that he 's under . i just wish he 'd talk to me . billy : i do n't want to get ahead of myself , but i told him to do so . victoria : thank you ... and for making this food for us and ... for everything that you 've done since mom 's accident . i do n't know how would have survived without you . billy : well , that 's debatable . victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : to be honest , it 's been really nice spending time with you and the kids . that 's actually why i wanted to wait around and -- and talk to you . i do n't want you to think that there 's an ulterior motive for me being here . victoria : what ? why would i ? billy : well , last night , we ... we kissed ... and we hugged , and i just do n't want you to think that ... victoria : no . billy : ... i was expecting , you know , more . victoria : i know . i mean , it kind of took both of us by surprise . well , we can just forget about it . it 's not a big deal . billy : yeah . see , that 's the thing -- i do n't really want to forget about it , because it kind of feels like something 's happening between us . i do n't know . am i nuts ? so , i 'm not nuts . that 's a relief . victoria : before we read too much into this , i think we should be honest . once again , our timing is just -- it 's horrible . billy : hmm . inconvenient , maybe not ideal , but horrible ? that 's a little , uh -- little aggressive . victoria : you just got out of a very intense relationship , and i am dealing with major , massive crises and relying completely on you to get me through it ... so maybe these feelings are just simple ... billy : no , please continue . i want to hear about these feelings . victoria : well , maybe you should take a look at your own and see what 's triggering them . i mean , it 's the holidays . we 're spending so much time with the family . i know that that can make you feel nostalgic and comforting . billy : okay . this is not about me being on the rebound or needing comfort . i would never use you like that . victoria : i know . i know . not on purpose . billy : not ever . victoria : but we also have the kids to consider -- you know , johnny and katie . we would n't want to get them confused or get their hopes up prematurely . billy : okay . yeah . that 's a very good point . victoria : right . yes . billy : so , maybe we should just , uh , take some time and ... think about it and -- and , uh ... get together later , maybe . victoria : i think that sounds very reasonable . billy : okay . well , uh ... goodbye ... for now . victoria : goodbye . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . cane : uh , yeah , i probablyrobably should have called first . victoria : no , you 're fine . the kids are out , so i have a few minutes -- unless this is about the kiss , in which case i really -- cane : kiss ? um , what kiss ? there ... was no kiss . victoria : [ chuckles ] cane : [ chuckles ] victoria : sit down . cane : sure . um , actually , i came over to talk to you about the hit - and - run , 'cause yesterday when i went home , i spoke to charlie about it , and , uh , he 's -- he 's gutted . victoria : i know . reed is feeling the same way . he ca n't even look at me now that i know . cane : yeah . so , you know , i 've been thinking that maybe it 's best for their peace of mind if they , uh -- if they do n't keep it a secret and they -- you know , they confess . victoria : that 's -- that 's a huge decision . i mean , have you really considered the consequences ? cane : it 's just that i feel like the psychological damage of concealing it could be worse . victoria : worse than a felony conviction ? cane : no , i 'm actually talking about going to see nikki and telling her , you know , 'cause she 's the victim , and , you know , i think that she has a right to know . victoria : i agree . i almost told her myself this morning . cane : but you know you should n't have to do that because , you know , they 're old enough . it 's their responsibility , and ... you know , they can tell her , and she can impose whatever action she thinks is right . victoria : yes , i agree . maybe it will help them start to forgive themselves . cane : yeah , that 's what i 'm thinking , too , um ... you know , 'cause i think it would be good for charlie if -- you know , if he felt like he had a way that he could make it right , you know , and probably would for reed , as well , you know ? [ door unlocks , opens ] victoria : hey , reed ! reed : hi . mr. ashby . wh - what 's going on ? victoria : go upstairs , shower , and change . we 're going to see your grandmother . jill : mm . billy : ah , it 's good to see you . i 'm sorry to hear about colin . jill : mm . billy : it sucks that you had to deal with that over the holidays . why did n't you call me ? jill : no . i 'm so good . i 'm so good . i 'm better than ever . you know what ? i need to take a step back and look to the future . new year , new beginnings . billy : yeah . i 'm thinking along the same lines . jill : so ... how 's work with your ex - paramour as your boss ? billy : work is surprisingly cool . jill : hmm . billy : i 'm sure you 've heard about our exclusive with rebekah barlow . jill : oh , yeah . i could n't miss that . billy : that was my idea . jill : [ chuckles ] billy : uh , no , phyllis and i worked on it together , but she really brought it home in the end . jill : yeah . billy : look , i knew that if i was gon na stay at the company , i had to work through our personal differences , and i 'm happy to say that we have . and i 'm also happy to say that we are still a dynamic team ... workwise . jill : mm - hmm . well ... your feelings are my only concern . i just hope you know what you 're getting into . billy : i 'm not gon na get hurt , mom . my eyes are wide open . and phyllis has moved on with nick , so it is what it is . jill : she what ? billy : you heard me . it happened very quickly , but apparently she 's committed to both nick and his children , so whatever . jill : oh , honey . oh , i 'm so sorry . this must be painful for you . ohh ! billy : as if . jill : [ clears throat ] justoincidentally , have you seen much of victoria over the hol -- billy : not as much as you would like . jill : [ chuckles ] i have no clue what you 're talking about . billy : [ chuckles ] jill : [ laugs ] victor : someone has gone to great lengths ... to make sure that i 'm locked up . nick : why -- so they can target newman enterprises ? victor : it 's more personal than that . it means your mother 's still in jeopardy . nick : well , i 'm gon na look out for her . victor : you promise me that ? you 're the one who has to go to the ranch and find out who the hell set the place ablaze and find out who planted that phony evidence for the cops . that means your mother 's fate is in your hands , son . nick : do n't worry . i 'm on it . victor : can i depend on you ? nikki : cane . cane : hey . nikki : well , what a nice surprise . come in . come in . cane : thank you . uh , i 'm glad to hear you 're feeling better . nikki : thank you . victoria : hi . nikki : oh , hi , sweetheart . victoria : i 'm here with cane and , uh , two other people who are very anxious to see you . reed : hi , grandma . nikki : hey . hi , darling . charlie : nice to see you again , mrs . newman . how are you feeling ? nikki : well , much better . thank you , charlie . i - i love that you came to visit , but , um ... what 's all this about ? reed : charlie and i have something to tell you . tech : at safelite autoglass nikki : why do n't you start at the beginning ? charlie : one night before christmas , reed came over to hang out , and his friends were throwing a party . he said that we should go . he was just trying to cheer me up 'cause my girlfriend had moved away . he offered to drive 'cause i had been drinking that night , so i said , `` let 's go . `` but we never made it . on the way , it was just really snowy , and ... we could n't see anything . we hit something . i 'm really sorry . i - i had no idea it was you or that you were hurt . we did n't find out until later , when reed told me you were here . nikki : you had committed a hit - and - run ? you ca n't drive . your license was suspended . reed : i know . i know , and i hate myself for offering and for mentioning that stupid party ... and for not going back to see what we 'd hit . i knew that if we 'd gone back , i would have been in so much trouble for my license and for damaging mr . ashby 's car . if i 'd have known it was a person and that it was you ... i i would have called for help , and i would have stayed with you instead of going back to charlie 's house and pretending like nothing ever happened . when i found out what i had done and ... if you 'd have died , it would have been all my fault . i ... victoria : i only learned what happened a few days ago . cane : yeah , same here . i , uh -- i knew there wasi ought it was that he missed his mom or his girlfriend , but it was the guilt inside . it was -- it was tearing him up the same way it was for reed because they both felt like murderers . reed : we almost were . i still have n't stopped feeling sick about it . nikki : reed ... i want you to look me in the eye . tell me the truth . had you been drinking ? reed : no , grandma , not -- not a single drop . i promise . charlie : that 's why he offered to drive -- 'cause i was buzzed . if i would have just called a car , none of this would have happened . reed : god . i ca n't believe we 're such idiots . i 'm so , so sorry , grandma , not that that makes up for any of this . cane : now they 're ready to accept whatever consequences you deem appropriate . nikki : that i do ? cane : yes . victoria : that 's the arrangement that we agreed to . nikki : well , all right . um ... before we get to that , uh ... ... i have my own confession i need to make ... to both of you . and it is not easy , but you two have been ... so brave today . and i need to be , too . the night of the accident ... i had been at the jabot holiday party ... drinking , and i do n't mean just one glass of champagne . reed : but -- but , grandma , you do n't drink . nikki : h - honey ... no . i - i try not to ever , but ... that night and the few days before that , i had been very upset about something , and ... i gave myself permission . i thought that i deserved to feel better . but then , as always , the opposite happened . the more upset i was , the more i drank . [ sighs ] i just was so out of it , i did n't know what the hell i was doing . and that 's why i stepped off the curb without looking , and that 's why you two could not have prevented this accident , no matter how safe you may have been driving . so stop blaming yourselves . charlie : we were in a car , and you were on foot . we 're still responsible . nikki : it does n't excuse me being out of control . it 's not your fault . reed : we still should have gone back to see what we 'd hit . nikki : and i should have known better . i should have maintained my sobriety and never put you in that position in the first place . i apologize from the bottom of my heart . i hope you can forgive me . charlie : we should be the ones asking for your forgiveness . nikki : you 've already got it . reed : [ crying ] nikki : okay . now , back to those consequences ... one of the best things about being a grandmother is i can leave things like that other people . so ... mom , dad ... you do whatever you feel is right , with one condition -- this is a family matter . it 's private . please do n't involve the police . cane : it 's a deal . victoria : cane , my mom looks a little tired , but i need to talk to her first . do you think you can drop reed off at home ? cane : yeah , of course . um , nikki , thank you so much for your compassion and your kindness . charlie : um , i hope you get well soon . nikki : thank you . cane : okay . come on . let 's go . nikki : i love you , honey . reed : [ speaks indistinctly ] nikki : oh . victoria : hey , you . not so fast . i am so proud of you . reed : i 'm glad . i thought you two were gon na hate me for the rest of my life . victoria : no , not a chance . reed : [ crying ] jill : ohhh . billy : [ chuckles ] jill : that was adorable . johnny the snowman ? he must have stolen the whole christmas pageant . billy : he pretty much did . he was great . jill : oh , i wish i could have been there with you ! billy : well , i 'm sure i could talk to him -- maybe get an encore performance . jill : do n't you tease me . do you think he would do that ? billy : he was anxious to give victoria one . jill : was that when you were all snowed in together ? billy : no , that was before . the snow - in was , uh , christmas day . jill : do you see ? the weather even conspired to have you all together as a family . billy : god . jill : the kids must have loved it , huh ? billy : yeah . yeah , so did i . jill : honey ... billy : hmm ? jill : ... i have n't seen you look this happy in years . i mean it -- in years . billy : you mean pre - phyllis ? jill : well , i did n't say that -- you did . billy : okay . you do n't have to act all coy , right ? jill : [ chuckles ] billy : i know you got a bumper sticker on your car that reads , `` team victoria . `` jill : do n't be so ridiculous . if i did have one , it would say , `` team billy and victoria , `` okay ? [ sighs ] you are john abbott 's son . darling , being a family man is embedded in your dna . billy : i tried the domestic tranquility more than once . what makes you think it would n't end in profanity and tears this time ? jill : i do n't know . several things . you 're addressing your gambling issues now . you 're done with phyllis . phyllis is with nick , and victoria has never stopped loving you . and you are too smart to let her get away again . at least i hope you are . charlie : it 's the first time i have n't felt sick since the accident . it was weird how i could actually feel all that guilt bottled up , making me feel nauseated day and night . if this is how mom felt , then ... i understand why she confessed . i would n't want her to know this , but [ clears throat ] i have actually been really mad at her for ... putting herself and all of us through such an unfair nightmare , you know ? cane : i had a hard time accepting it , but your mom had to confess . otherwise , she could n't live with herself . charlie : well , now i get it , too . if mrs . newman would have told us to go to the police , then i would have . cane : we 're just , uh , grateful that it did n't have to come to that , right ? uh , you know , it 's good that she had the guts to tell everybody what was going on , um , but listen -- you and i have to discuss these consequences . charlie : like mrs . newman said ... whatever you think is best . cane : you can keep your driver 's license , but you ca n't use it for the rest of the school year . charlie : yeah , i understand . cane : and i want to know everywhere you 're going . charlie : of course , and i wo n't stay out late . cane : you 're gon na have a strict curfew , and if you break it once -- charlie : i won't . cane : all right . charlie : i won't . promise . cane : so , we 're clear on this , right ? charlie : yeah . victoria : thank you for being so incredible with the boys . nikki : i meant every word . victoria : i know , and that 's why reed is not off the hook . once he gets his license back , i am gon na extend his driving ban . nikki : for how long ? victoria : a year . nikki : well , you do whatever you feel is best . victoria : you know they were terrified to confess the truth to you , even though it was tearing them up inside . nikki : i know . you could see it on their faces how upset they were . my heart went out to them , and i 'm sure yours did , too . and you and i know the toll that keeping a horrible secret can take . victoria : you know , it 's been almost nine months since j.t . died . and we thought that we could just lock it away somewhere deep in our brains and go on with our lives . nikki : [ sighs ] you just ca n't seal up something this toxic . it starts to poison everything , and ... look what it 's done to you -- ptsd . it 's reduced me to binge - drinking . victoria : and dad . what about him ? he 's sitting in a jail cell , facing the worst possible charges for something that he did n't do . nikki : i can not let this destroy us or the people we love any longer . victoria : mom . nikki : this has to end , and there 's only one way . i have to tell the police . i have to tell them i 'm the one that killed j.t .

( sighs ) [ scene_break ] emily : all right , i 'm gon na leave jack a note . paul : okay . jack : paul . hey , has something happened ? is patty okay ? paul : we 're gon na have to talk about this later . i 'll see you at the hospital ? emily : yeah , i 'll be right behind you . jack : please do n't tell me patty already knows about our engagement . emily : no , paul read the article , and he 's upset , justifiably . jack : so where are you going ? emily : oh , i 'm going to talk to patty . jack : wait , to tell her ? emily : well , that would be the second - worst thing i could do . jack : and what is the first ? emily : ( sighs ) continue treating her while there 's this huge secret between us . jack , if she ever found out that you and i were getting married , i - it would undermine all her progress , and she could have another psychotic break . jack : i hate the thought of her losing you because of me . emily : i - i 'm not even convinced that i 've been the best thing for her , aside from you and me . the personal relationship she and i have has been double- edged . she trusts me . and then i - i feel she sees me as a friend more than a doctor . she might recover more rapidly with someone else . jack : wo n't she feel betrayed ? emily : ( sighs ) well , the transition has to be gradual . we need to ease her into it , which could take some time . and i might have to postpone the wedding . [ scene_break ] patty : aah ! ( whimpers ) ( knock on door ) man : patty , are you okay ? i heard you scream . patty : no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i 'm fine . i - i - i , um , i thought i saw a spider , but it was just a string . ( laughs ) patty : ( sniffles ) ( breathing heavily ) patty : ( sniffles ) okay . ( breathing heavily ) okay , just think . ( whimpers ) think . think , patty . patty , okay , okay , okay . come on . come on . what would dr. p. say , huh ? what would dr. p. say ? um , she 'd say do n't overreact , okay ? do n't overreact , and , uh , make a plan . [ scene_break ] chloe : well , was it a mistake coming here ? is it creepy that the guy who stabbed you is still on the loose ? chance : no . no , it -- it 's fine . i 'm just trying to figure out sid . you know , you 'd think he 'd be more gung ho about tracking down riggs . chloe : yeah , well , it seems pretty low on his list . chance : yeah , but it was all over the media . it 's a high - profile case . you 'd think there 'd be more pressure on him to make an arrest . ( sighs ) i do n't know . chloe : i mean , personally , if you ask me , i think that riggs should be on the `` ten most - wanted `` list , but , you know , i 'm biased , so ... what ? chance : that was the e.m.t . on duty the night riggs escaped . chloe : oh . well , did you -- chance : ( sighs ) chloe : did you talk to him ? chance : no , because it 's not my case . chloe : it was your spleen that got knifed . go talk to him . chance : all right , i 'll be right back . chloe : okay . chance : hey , do n't -- hey ! do n't eat my chips . that 's my favorite part . you know that . hey , how you doing ? good to see you , brian . brian : hey , chance . how 's it going ? chance : good . good . good . look , um , i got a couple questions i wanted to ask you about the night brent riggs escaped . [ scene_break ] jack : okay , tell me something -- how much of this talk of postponing the wedding is about a professional consideration , and how much is it paul laying a guilt trip on you ? emily : i 'd be lying if i did n't say that i felt some guilt . jack : i thought so . emily : jack , i 'm living patty 's dream . i - it was n't intentional . it just fell into my lap . but this life patty would give anything to have -- jack : it did n't just fall into your lap . it happened easily and quickly because it 's right . emily : ( sighs ) i just feel for her . i 'm not even sure she 's capable of having this kind of happiness . but she does know what she 's missing , and it 's sad . jack : okay , now you sound like you 're talking about a friend , not a patient . emily : ( stammers ) maybe we -- we both have crossed a line , she and i . so this will probably be a good thing , helping her become less dependent on me . jack : i support that . but i do n't want to put off the wedding . emily : and neither do i . neither do i . ( sighs ) i - i mean , she 's making progress . she is being responsive to the meds . so maybe this -- this transition with a new doctor will go smoothly . but the sooner i get over there , the sooner we can get started ... jack : yeah , okay . okay . emily : okay ? jack : just -- just do n't let paul beat you up . emily : ( sighs ) he loves his sister . it 's not his fault . he understands what we 're -- jack : he understands why i would fall in love with you . anyone would . emily : ( sighs ) jack : you are irresistible . emily : mm . all right . ( sighs ) i 'll call you when i 'm finished . jack : go . emily : okay . jack : go . jack : hey , it 's jack abbott . um , would you agree to meeting me ? i have a proposition for you . [ scene_break ] nick : you know , i 'm not trying to placate you with sex . phyllis : ( chuckles ) nick : or bacon . phyllis : you 're not placating me . i mean , there -- there are incredible distractions , especially the bacon . nick : oh . phyllis : ( laughs ) nick : so last night was just a distraction then ? phyllis : no . ( sighs ) no . last night was your way of , um , letting me know -- rather convincingly , by the way -- um , that , uh , that you want me and need me . nick : then the message got through . phyllis : how do i get through to you that this situation is completely intolerable for me ? how do i do that ? i keep on waiting for my husband and looking for my husband -- and , oh , there he is with sharon again . ( scoffs ) and i 'm just an afterthought . nick : that 's not true . phyllis : it 's true , nick . listen , you probably do n't want to have this conversation , because i 've been less than receptive to the way you feel recently . yes , i know . nick : yeah , i still have the bruises to show for that . phyllis : i know . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about that . i should n't have done that . ( sighs ) i mean , i know how you feel about sharon . i want you to talk to me about how you feel , about your worry and your jealously over this . nick : no , no , that 's -- that is not where i 'm at . phyllis : where are you at ? nick : truthfully , where sharon 's concerned , all i am is pissed off . [ scene_break ] noah : the -- the images in my head of that jet going down -- sharon : okay , listen . hey , i - i 'm okay , see ? see for yourself . i 'm fine . noah : ( sighs ) uh , i 'm glad you 're okay , too , adam . adam : thanks , noah . look , um , ashley 's expecting me , so i 'm just gon na let you two catch up , all right ? sharon : okay , hon . adam : see ya . bye , noah . noah : see ya . ( door closes ) noah : ( sighs ) guess it brings you closer -- two people going through something so scary together . sharon : adam took really good care of me . noah : that 's good . sharon : i mean , even before the crash , you know , we were , um ... he just really means a lot to me . noah : yeah . i 'm trying to be cool about it , you know ? sharon : thank you . thank you . i - i - i need you to keep doing that , okay ? because i have something to tell you , and it 's a little bit shocking . um , well , on christmas eve , adam proposed . noah : wow . sharon : yeah . noah : crazy . sharon : yeah , un - unexpected , completely . noah : you said no . mom ? sharon : actually , um , we -- we eloped . [ scene_break ] ashley : it 's so good to have you back home safe . oh ! adam : thanks . it , uh , it was pretty crazy there for a minute . ashley : ( sighs ) [ adam remembering ] sharon : ( breathing heavily ) sharon : aah ! i 'm just -- i 'm trying to remember the moment of impact , and i ca n't . [ scene_break ] adam : i thought i 'd lost everything . ashley : it had to be so terrifying . i ca n't believe it . but it 's very confusing . you said you had ... adam : ( sighs ) ashley : good news after all that ? adam : yes . ashley : what ? adam : the reason that we went to nevada ... ashley : ( gasps ) adam : ash ? ashley : ( chuckles ) adam : are you still there ? ashley : i 'm so surprised . congratulations ! adam : thank you . [ scene_break ] noah : eloped ? that 's not funny . sharon : i 'm not joking . noah : mom ... sharon : it might look like i jumped into this and i did n't really think about it , but i did . noah : he proposed to you on christmas eve . how long could you have thought about it ? sharon : okay , i realize that this is gon na be hard for you to understand . noah : well , what happened to making it on your own ? was it the holidays ? were you lonely ? sharon : listen , i -- i am my own person , even more so now that i 'm with adam . he -- he just supports me in my right to make my own decisions . noah : did you tell dad about it ? sharon : yes . noah : i bet that went well . sharon : the only reaction i care about is yours . noah : ( sighs ) sharon : now adam 's gon na be moving in here , obviously , and i know that he does n't want to intrude on our relationship . he 's gon na do everything he can to make this easy for us , so all i 'm asking from you is a little bit of patience , some willingness , compromise . can you do that ? noah : fine . but that does n't mean i am happy about you getting married . [ scene_break ] brian : uh , it just caught me by surprise , jumped out the ambulance . chance : yeah , but were n't the handcuffs on him , though ? brian : i - it happened so fast . maybe the guy handling the case , he has a theory . you should talk to him . chance : yeah , i will . well , hey , brian , thanks again . i really appreciate it . brian : you got it . chance : all right , buddy . take care . brian : ( sighs ) heather : chance , hi . chance : heather , hey . heather : hey . chance : hi . wow , this is really good timing . look , i got ta ask a favor of you . [ scene_break ] chloe : what is this proposition you have for me ? jack : well , i know how busy you are at `` restless style . `` chloe : um , yeah , i guess billy did n't tell you . he fired me . jack : no -- of all the stupid moves . chloe : yeah , i know . well , that 's what i said . jack : you know what ? may - maybe his loss is my gain . chloe : hmm . how so ? jack : well , you know i 'm getting married , right ? chloe : no , i did n't know that . i 'm assuming emily . congratulations . jack : well , thanks . i - i was gon na hire you to help me find a wedding planner , but , i mean , if you 're available , i 'd rather have you . chloe : me ? jack : yeah , your wedding last year was tasteful and simple and elegant , and you put it together in a heartbeat . chloe : yeah , about as long as it took for the marriage to fall apart . um , but thank you . jack : so you 'll help us ? chloe : it would be my honor . jack : great . i will set up a meeting with you and emily , and she can tell you what she has in mind . chloe : okay , great . wow ! yay ! congratulations , and i must say , it 's really nice to see you smiling again . [ scene_break ] emily : well , you were right to insist that i step down as her doctor , given the circumstances . paul : regarding those circumstances -- emily : you know , we should n't talk about 'em outside her door . ( sighs ) paul : i hope you 'll be very happy . emily : thank you . do you want to come in with me when i tell her ? paul : no , i 'll -- i 'll wait here . emily : ( exhales slowly ) emily : hey , patty . it 's me , dr. peterson . patty : ( sighs ) ( laughs ) happy new year , dr. p. ! ( giggles ) emily : hi . patty : ( laughs ) emily : happy new year to you . ( sighs ) that is lovely , patty . patty : i - i just wanted to thank you , and , well , to let you know what a good friend you are , and you 're so loyal . emily : well , i 'm glad i could be there to help you . patty : well , i would n't be where i am without you , dr. p.

( clears throat ) might help you better than i can . patty : no . no , no , no . i don -- i do n't -- i do n't want another doctor . emily : i 'm not talking about making any sudden changes , patty . patty : please do n't leave me , dr. p. please ? ( sobs ) [ scene_break ] nick : you know , all the speeches sharon made about how she 's changed and that therapy 's changed her outlook , it 's not true . it 's the same damn pattern . phyllis : good . i 'm glad you can see that . nick : look , she does n't want to be alone . whatever . i - i have no right to judge that . but why does she have to keep making the same inappropriate choices ? phyllis : yeah , she likes brothers - in - law , i guess . nick : she does n't learn from her mistakes . that is the problem . phyllis : yeah , she has problems . right . nick : and now she 's dragging noah into this ? i mean , he is gon na have a front row seat to watching her self - destruct yet again . and who knows what kind of poison adam 's gon na put in his head ? phyllis : right . well , we - we 'll help him . he can live here if he wants . nick : to me , that would be great . but all noah is gon na think is that sharon picked this loser over him . phyllis : can we talk about us ? nick : we are , phyllis . this is part of the problem . phyllis : no ! no . this is our problem . this is our problem -- your fascination with sharon and sharon 's life , and her crises , and her choices , and -- nick : i am just trying to let you know how fed up i am over this . phyllis : okay , i know , okay ? good . now i know . now i know you 're fed up . you are fed up . it 's bothering you . ( sighs ) i mean , you say that , a - and i would love to believe you . but you spent the better part of last year following her from one -- one crisis to another . i mean , h - how do i know if you 're gon na be there for me ? i mean , i do n't . i do n't know . are you ? nick : i 'm here right now . phyllis : ( sighs ) no , but you 're not here right now . you 're not here , because you 're talking about sharon again . you 're talking about sharon , or -- or -- or you 're at the hospital with sharon , or -- or you 're following sharon somewhere . ( sighs ) or you 're getting in adam 's face because of sharon . oh , my god , nick . ( sighs ) if you want to rescue somebody , rescue me . [ scene_break ] noah : if adam loves you as much as you think he does , then he 'll understand if you tell him you need more time . sharon : do you think that adam pressured me into this ? noah : well , there 's a lot going on with losing the baby and -- and moving into this new house , and -- and -- and with the holidays . sharon : this had nothing to do with the holidays . noah : ( sighs ) i mean , dad and jack have both moved on , and i have n't been here as much as i could have been . sharon : hey , listen , this is not your fault . noah : ( sighs ) sharon : it 's not your fault that i got married . nothing i do is your fault . and i know that you ca n't believe this right now , but everything is gon na turn out fine . noah : ( sighs ) ( scoffs ) sharon : remember how negative i was about you and eden in the beginning ? noah : eden is nothing like adam . she has n't framed anybody for murder , for one thing . sharon : okay , well , there 's more to that story than you know about . noah : and she has n't asked me to marry her , either . definitely not after , what , a month ? it 's crazy . sharon : crazy . hmm . any other words you want to throw at me ? noah : ( sighs ) i - i 'm sorry . i 'm just scared for you . sharon : honey , i 'm happy . noah : for how long ? the guy is vindictive , and he 's not showing you that side now , but when things go to hell -- sharon : hey , you do n't have to worry . noah : ( sighs ) you 're not gon na listen to me . and do n't worry ... ( scoffs ) i 'm not gon na file for emancipation or do anything drastic . you have plenty of drastic in you for all of us . [ scene_break ] ashley : and that 's when nick found out the two of you were married ? adam : mm . ashley : how did he react ? adam : what you 'd expect -- uh , stomping around , beating his chest . but sharon told him to stuff it , which was actually a beautiful thing . ashley : she can really hold her own , ca n't she ? adam : yeah , she 's -- she 's amazing . ashley : aw , you 're really head over heels . adam : yeah . i bet you think this is happening too fast , though , right ? ashley : no , i do n't . when you think back what your life was like a year ago -- now you 've fallen in love , and you feel like life is full of possibility again -- who can blame you for wanting to grab hold and never let go ? adam : well , i appreciate your support more than i can say , and i will not be a stranger here . ashley : oh , that 's right . you 're gon na move out . that 's horrible . adam : i wo n't -- i 'm -- i 'm not gon na be far . ashley : you hear it ? it 's quiet . this place is like a museum . adam : ( chuckles ) ashley : it 's true . i mean , abby 's -- she 's hardly ever home . it 's just faith and me . why do n't you and sharon move in here ? [ scene_break ] heather : riggs did n't leave much behind -- a couple of magazines -- but that 's about it . chance : so you would n't mind if i take a look then ? heather : you 're working with sid on it now ? chance : officially , no . no , i 'm actually just giving sid a hand . he seems to have a lot on his plate at the moment , but to be honest , i 'm getting the feeling that this case is n't of high priority to him . heather : right . um , well , if you have an issue with the way sid 's handling it or not handling it , you have to work it out with him or go to internal affairs , but i , um , i ca n't put my office in the middle of it . chance : okay , understood . heather : i 'm sorry . chance : ( sighs ) ( sighs ) chloe : finally . chance : ( sighs ) chloe : well , i - i - i 'll buy you more chips . i actually did n't eat them . and i can actually buy you more chips , 'cause guess what ? chance : what ? chloe : drum roll . i 'm employed . chance : what ? since when ? chloe : since five minutes ago . jack abbott just hired me to be his wedding planner . chance : ( chuckles ) well , chloe abbott , you certainly do lead a charmed life . chloe : yeah , i know . you just stick with me . maybe i 'll rub off on you . chance : yeah , let 's hope so . chloe : what happened with the ambulance guy ? chance : ( sighs ) mnh - mnh . chloe : nothing . okay . um , i 'm -- i 'm gon na choose not to freak out . i 'm not freaking out , because the guy who tried to kill you is just roaming around the streets , and no one seems to care . we 're safe being here , right ? i mean , criminals do n't come back to the crime scene . chance : no , not unless they want to finish what they started . chloe : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] emily : change is scary sometimes . we 've talked about that , remember ? but it is necessary if we 're going to grow . now you just got ta give him a chance . patty : i 'll give it a try . emily : dr. jasper will come -- a couple sessions a week . and as time goes on , and you guys start feeling more comfortable with each other , he 'll become your primary doctor . patty : and when will you stop coming ? emily : uh , a month or so . um , about mid - february . ( knock on door ) paul : hi . patty : pauly . ( whimpers ) paul : hi . how are you doing , pattycake ? you okay ? patty : ( sniffles ) ( sighs ) you heard . paul : yeah , about the new doctor ? i - i think it 's gon na be fine . patty : but it 's gon na be sad -- sad when i do n't have dr. p. as my doctor . emily : ( sighs ) ( sniffles ) i 'm sorry . ( chuckles ) but you will give him a try , right ? patty : i 'll try . that 's all i can do , right ? paul : ( whispers ) thank you . [ scene_break ] adam : i do n't know . i - i could n't ask sharon to make another move . ashley : are you kidding ? why not ? she might love it . i mean , think about it . this house is so huge . the two of you could have an entire wing to yourselves . abby loved having noah here . she misses him so much . she really does . adam : okay , i 'll bring it up to sharon and see what she says . ashley : great . ( knock on door ) ashley : oh , well , maybe that 's her . i 'll give her my very best sales pitch . adam : ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) ( front door opens ) jack : happy new year ! ashley : hey , come on in . hey , how are you ? jack : i 'm great . i have some news for you . but it can wait till we 're alone . ashley : mm - hmm . adam : i was just leaving . jack : what a shame . adam : mm , heartbroken , i 'm sure . ashley : congratulations . okay , bye . so what 's your news ? what ? jack : i popped the question . emily said yes . ashley : ( laughs ) well , congratulations ! when 's the wedding ? jack : valentine 's day . ashley : wow . jack : i - i know it may sound like we 're rushing things a bit , but -- ashley : uh , comparatively speaking , it 's -- it 's a long engagement . jack : compared to who ? ashley : um ... ( sighs ) well , adam and sharon . they just eloped . [ scene_break ] phyllis : what do i have to do ? lie down on railroad tracks to get your attention ? ( sighs ) nick : no , the last thing i need you to do is follow sharon 's example . phyllis : oh , i 'm not gon na do that . i 'd never do that . i 'm not desperate and needy . i would never be sharon . ( stammers ) that 's the irony . i mean , i 'm getting there little by little . nick : ( chuckles ) you needy ? i think that 's funny . phyllis : really ? so because i 'm a fighter ... ( voice breaking ) and because i 'm strong , i can handle everything ? i do n't need a savior . i need my husband . i need a partner . ( normal voice ) i 'm tough . ( sighs ) but i 'm not superwoman , nick . i mean , i can do things on my own , and i do 'em okay , ( voice breaking ) but i ca n't do this anymore . you know , lauren and michael , they 're fine . i can talk to them . but it 's not enough , you know ? and noah came over the other day to make sure that i was n't alone .

[ scene_break ] jack : it breaks my heart that sharon is doing this to herself . ashley : i think she 's probably pretty happy , jackie . jack : she knows -- she -- somehow , inside , she knows he 's using her . ashley : he 's not . you should see the way his face lights up when he talks about her . jack : that 's the -- just the joy he gets putting the screws to nicholas . ashley : you know , the two of you actually have a lot in common , jack . jack : what ? ashley : well , you 've both made heinous mistakes that you 've lived to regret . you both have found women that give you hope for a new beginning in life . what makes you think that does n't mean as much to him as it does to you ? jack : because he is a snake . ashley : ( sighs ) oh , god . jack : i got ta put a stop to this . ashley : oh , jack , come on ! jack ... ( scoffs ) ( door opens and closes ) [ scene_break ] chloe : well , i do n't know . maybe riggs went undercover , you know , like an informant , and then they just set up the whole escape , you know , trying to get him back on the streets .

victor : what did you find out about stephanie gayle ? man : this the girl you hired to make friends with jack abbott ? victor : yeah , but that 's an old picture . man : only a few years , but i 'm guessing they were hard years . victor : so , what did you find out ? where is she at ? man : well , i did n't find her , but what i did learn , you 're not gon na like . [ scene_break ] nick : hey , it 's me . how are you ? good . so , i know you know it 's , uh ... yeah , cassie 's birthday 's coming up . so , i was thinking i was gon na swing by the cemetery and , you know , take faith and do something special with her . i think we should do it as a family . okay . good . so , i 'll let noah know , and , uh ... i 'm pretty sure summer 's out . [ scene_break ] summer : jamie , are you even playing my messages ? look , about what fen said -- just call me so i can explain to you ... and apologize . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] michael : well , no phone calls from jamie . no texts . he has n't shown back up at the group home , either . you hear from him ? fen : [ sarcastically ] yeah , 'cause we are so close . michael : when your mother and i wanted jamie to move in , you agreed . fen : this is your place . michael : just ... what is it with you and jamie ? fen : the guy 's got a million problems that are n't me . maybe he took off so when his dad gets out from jail , jamie does n't have to play punching bag . michael : or ... maybe he 's in town , alone , needing help . fen : yeah . well , i got to , uh , go to , uh , swim practice , so , uh , i will definitely let you know if we swim in laps . bye , dad . michael : fenmore ! [ door slams ] michael : fen -- paul . paul : he just went down the elevator . is everything okay ? michael : oh , no , things are great . jamie 's missing , and my son is thrilled about it .

[ scene_break ] chloe : it 's hypnotic , is n't it ? it 's like it 's trying to suck us in and steal our souls . ohh . [ sighs ] okay , we have to figure out what we 're gon na do with this fast . i can only keep dee with my mom for so long . kevin : oh , okay . well , let 's bring delia home and tell her that mommy stole drug money from noah newman and we do n't know what to do with it . maybe pinkerton pony will have some ideas . chloe : i rescued the money to turn it in to the cops for a reward . i was trying to be noble so we do n't get foreclosed on , okay ? look , i - i 'm not a thief ! kevin : [ scoffs ] you stole ! chloe : i recovered . kevin : how do you explain to the cops how we got this money ? chloe : the reward said no questions asked . kevin : wha -- are you kidding me ? it 's a setup ! this much cash , a drug dealer involved ? you know detective chavez is gon na want some answers . chloe , if we turn this money in , we become suspects number 1 and 2 . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] victor : so , what did you find out ? man : full name is stephanie gayle wheeler . rings a bell , does n't it ? her father is congressman marcus wheeler . you 've contributed to his campaigns over the years . victor : i 'll be damned . marcus wheeler 's daughter 's a call girl ? man : grown woman with a history of drug addiction and daddy issues . it happens . victor : so , she went home with jack abbott . all right . i want you to find out what happened that night , where she is now , and you better make sure that no one finds out who hired her . [ scene_break ] paul : okay . so , jamie has been missing since when ? michael : uh , new year 's eve . lauren and i came back from a party , and his things were gone . paul : and fen does n't have any information ? michael : not only that , he 's hostile about it . paul : okay . so , he 's a little jealous . that 's understandable . michael : it 's more than that . whenever the subject of jamie comes up , there 's such a -- there 's ... such a coldness to fen , where his expression -- it 's as if he has absolutely no compassion for this kid , as a human being . paul : michael , it 's hard for kids to see past themselves . i mean , it 's hard for some adults . michael : this is not the ego of youth , paul . i remember sitting in gloworm with you and chris . this is before anything really happened with ricky . and you were worried that he was too much like isabella . paul : i remember . but that was different . michael : [ scoffs ] well ... the things i did as a kid , the things i did as a young man ... paul : oh , michael . come on . you did time . you paid your penance . and , most importantly , you changed . michael : maybe i just passed down all that rage and anger right on to fenmore . i mean , it 's all very familiar , is n't it -- the selfishness , the lack of compassion ? paul : you know , the worst thing you could accuse fen of right now is being in a bad mood . michael : i remember saying something just like that to you about ricky . paul : okay . whether it was isabella 's mental illness or my neglect as a father ... ricky was broken . it 's a completely different situation . that is not fen . michael : do we know that ? paul : [ sighs ] michael : do i know him ? paul , i was a violent son of a bitch back then . you know . you were there . and kevin -- he was just warped , tortured , beaten by that ... terrible tom . the pain we caused , the laws we broke -- look , fenmore could be like me . fenmore could be like kevin . either way , he 's got a lot of rage inside him , and either way , that 's my responsibility . [ scene_break ] chloe : [ sighs ] this ca n't be a trap . the money is the answer , and the reward is our salvation ! kevin : we turn the duffel bag in , our reward is gon na be an 8x8 cell . chloe : okay . then what do we do with it ? kevin : well , it 's gon na be kind of hard to sneak it back into noah 's living room . chloe : okay . well , what if i break out the cat suit ? i mean , it worked the first time . kevin : ohh . no , it 's too risky . i got to think . i got to think . chloe : kevin , will you please think fast ? i do n't even feel like myself anymore . all this green is really freaking me out . [ sighs ] [ scene_break ] summer : you never yelled at me before . you know what ? can you just tell me what 's going on so i can help you ? noah : can you get the money back , summer ? 'cause that 's what i need . i need to find the money . sorry , okay ? i do n't -- i do n't mean to yell . i just -- wrong place , wrong time , all right ? summer : oh , you 're scaring me , noah . noah : yeah , well , i 'm a little scared myself right now , summer . summer : so , you 're not even gon na tell me what 's going on right now ? noah , why can this family just never be normal ? ! noah : what are you talking about , summer ? we are normal . summer : no , we 're not ! okay , things were just starting to become okay with my mom and dad , and your mom was finally starting to get better , and then you come in here and yell at me like a total crazy person , okay ? and then i have this stuff going on right now in my life , and ... i think my life is ruined , noah . noah : summer , your life is n't ruined . summer : you do n't even know what i 'm talking about . why can this family ever just be normal and fine at the same time ? noah : you know what ? maybe -- maybe all this -- this chaos and this craziness -- that 's what `` normal `` is . summer : no , it 's not , noah . okay ? it 's not . and then this thing happened on new year 's with fen when he came over , and it 's just -- noah : look , i 'm sorry . you know that i love you , but i - i - i ca n't listen to this right now . summer : listen to what ? noah : `` fen said this , angelica said this , and now she does n't like me . `` it just -- it does n't matter . summer : that 's not even what it 's about ! it 's a much bigger problem than that , and i just wanted to talk to you . noah : i do n't have time to chat right now , okay ? because i 'm dealing with something that i ca n't talk my way out of . [ door slams ] [ scene_break ] paul : you know , years ago , if you were to ask me about you as a person or even kevin , for that matter , this would be an entirely different conversation . but you and kevin both chose to change . most people refuse . some people never get a chance at all . michael : well , but i - i did n't think that -- i - i was -- you do n't think that i -- paul : fen is not a killer . of course he 's not . you 're worried about your son . y - y - y - you do n't understand the way he 's acting ... because he -- he does n't come to you . he does n't confide in you . he does n't trust you anymore . you know what ? that 's ... that is understandable . your boy 's a teenager . michael : [ chuckles ] he is . and , uh ... [ sighs ] maybe i 'm just not the father i should be to make him the man he needs to be . paul : nobody knows guilt like i do . i grieve every day that ricky was n't who he could have been . but that 's not fen . so do n't beat yourself up over kevin or fen or -- or jamie . the only thing you can do now is pull yourself together and be there for them . michael : yeah , okay . yeah , well , that 's hard to do with jamie missing , and that 's why i called you . i know you have n't taken a case since ricky 's death , and i -- paul : that 's right , and i 'm not taking this one . but i will help you ... as a friend . we will find jamie , and you 'll see that he 's all right . and you 'll also see that fen 's gon na be just fine . you know why ? he 's got you -- a father that loves him . there 's nothing better than that . michael : [ chuckles ] paul : okay ? come here . michael : [ chuckles ] [ scene_break ] chloe : okay . listen , do bank safety - deposit boxes come in duffel - bag sizes ? kevin : no , but banks have security cameras , so that 's awesome . chloe : okay . well , maybe we should hide it in the attic . no . no , no , no . bobby 's doggy bed . wait , no . wait . what if the house burns down ? we should just put it in the freezer . oh , my god . what if the house burns down ? we should go guard it . we should go guard the stuff . kevin : okay , maybe we should n't talk about this stuff right here . chloe : oh , right . good idea -- until a swat team is outside the door . kevin : you 're the one who took the bag in the first place . chloe : and i am filled with remorse -- mostly fear . i 'm filled with a lot of fear . kevin : okay , okay , look -- that 's nice . i 'm really sorry , but i think you should just shut up , okay ? just shut up . chloe : excuse me ? ! what are you talking -- you tell me to what ? ! kevin : okay . i know . chloe : i -- [ british accent ] oh , hello .

[ sighs ] how is he ? paul : he 's fighting for his life . he ca n't tell us what happened . but you can , marisa . marisa : i am sorry . i just ... i ... paul : are you aware that billy abbott lost a daughter to a hit - and - run driver ? billy deserves justice , and his family deserves answers . marisa : i know . paul : well , you can help me . please . marisa : i want to help . paul : i know you do . so what can you tell me about the -- the car or the driver or anything at all ? marisa : nothing . i have nothing more to tell . paul : okay . let 's go back to the beginning . you walked into the ga -- marisa : all i saw was billy on the ground bleeding . i had no idea what happened . i did n't see or hear a car . i did n't see anyone . mariah : hey . did you hear about billy ? noah : yeah , i did . i was just thinking about him , actually . god , it makes me sick . kevin : that seems to be the consensus . noah : you know , it actually makes me angry . i mean , violently mad that somebody could do this to billy , to aunt victoria , to my cousins . mariah : it 's a horrible way to ring in 2016 . i mean , i 've been to a lot of new year 's eve parties where the cops have been called , but never like that . noah : yeah , i guess i missed out on the action . i , uh , i left a little early . kevin : where did you go ? noah : i just left . i did n't want to be there anymore . mariah : oh . was it something she did with him ? you did n't miss the action at all . noah : look , you know what ? to be completely honest , i wish i had stuck around . maybe i 'd have seen something . i could have helped billy . kevin : i got a look at the police report . mariah : what did it say ? kevin : billy 's injuries were n't just from getting hit by a car . apparently he 'd been beaten up , too . maybe he placed a bet to get the money and it went wrong . noah : what money ? mariah : um , an investment opportunity . kevin : that billy was eager to be a part of . noah : and you two were in this deal together ? mariah : no . kevin : yes . noah : okay . which is it ? kevin : [ sighs ] it 's something i was keeping quiet until i got the financing , and now i feel terrible for putting a ticking clock on the guy , pressuring him to come up with the money so fast . mariah : i was the one who said to double the asking price , and it backed him into a corner . noah : stop . do n't do that . do n't blame yourselves . the only person to blame for what happened to billy is the person who hit him with that car . abby : [ chuckles ] that was an amazing swim . stitch : that walk on the beach was very , very steamy . abby : yes . hmm . fruit and champagne ? [ gasps ] you are the best husband ever . stitch : well ... abby : mwah . [ chuckles ] stitch : as much as i like the reward , i ca n't lie . i did n't send it . abby : who did ? the management . stitch : oh , yeah ? well , do n't you be thinking about rewarding the management . i will write a letter . abby : after we chow down . stitch : oh , man . my thoughts exactly . abby : i 'm famished . this is so good . stitch : hey . [ laughs ] you gon na share some with me ? abby : [ chuckles ] well , since we 're married ... you want this ? stitch : oh , yeah . i want it . abby : [ chuckles ] stitch : oh , that 's it . hey . what happened to sharing everything ? come on ! abby : i may be stingy with my fruit . but i will share everything else . stitch : oh . [ exhales deeply ] abby : [ laughs ] ashley : i just want more information before i call abby . does that make sense to you ? dr. neville : more information ? what if the next call they make about billy has something to do with a priest ? abby : you know what ? has anybody ever told you you 've got a really crappy bedside manner ? my brother is not going to die ! dr. neville : if what dr. shelby tells the family is in any way relevant , we ca n't be sure of anything . ashley : well , why should i worry abby ? there 's nothing she can do . dr. neville : because what happens if , god forbid , the worst comes to pass and she was n't given the option to be here ? ashley : she 'd be devastated . dr. neville : or if , god forbid , the worst comes to pass and [ scoffs ] she gets the news off the internet ? ashley : okay , you 're right . i 'm being stupid . abby should find out about billy from me . noah : so , what was this business venture that billy wanted to buy into ? kevin : just a thing . mariah : a secret thing . noah : secret thing . okay . you guys keep it a secret . why would n't billy just go to his family for the money ? mariah : well , since your bloodsucking grandfather got his fangs into the abbott family , that was n't really an option . noah : hey . marisa : hi . mariah : what are you doing here ? did you misplace a husband ? marisa : i was down at the police station answering some questions about billy . kevin : marisa 's the one who called 911 . it 's a good thing you turned up when you did . according to the report , billy could have died if you had n't found him . [ sighs ] okay , i 'm gon na head down to the station and see what i can find about whoever did this to billy . you want to come ? mariah : you okay ? noah : yeah , i 'm -- i 'm fine . yeah , of course . i 'll see you guys later . marisa : i know you had a good reason for not coming forward . victoria : it 's one thing to be supportive , but where do you get off blaming billy 's problems on other people ? you 're not even being honest . you said all he needed was my love , he needs the love of a good woman . you 're such a liar , phyllis . jack : no , no , it 's not a lie . phyllis helped me through the worst moment of my life when i was going through withdrawal . without her , i never could have done it . victoria : but ultimately it was your choice to stay clean , jack . what phyllis is implying is that all of billy 's failings are on me . nikki : there she is . victoria : letting him completely off the hook , right , phyllis ? nikki : my darling . victoria : hi , mom . nikki : oh , god , i 'm so sorry . phyllis : okay , not here . jill : [ voice breaking ] what the hell are you doing here ? ashley : so , honey , i just wanted you and ben to hear about billy from me and not the press . i do n't want you to do anything silly and rush home , okay ? abby : well , of course we 're gon na come home . ashley : oh , please do n't say that . there 's no point . abby : but if billy is that bad ... ashley : he 's not anywhere close to that bad . abby : are you sure ? ashley : yes , i promise . you will be the first person i call if anything changes , okay ? i will keep you informed . abby : okay , um , hold on . ben wants to talk to you . stitch : how bad is it ? ashley : billy is stable , and the doctors are observing him . stitch : does barton have a prognosis ? ashley : ben , there 's nothing you can do . just -- there 's no reason to cut your honeymoon short , okay ? try and have a good time . stitch : i 'll try . take care of yourself . ashley : okay . i will . have fun . stitch : your mother was really insistent . abby : she wanted the wedding , she wanted this honeymoon to be perfect . she wants us to stay . stitch : it 's your call . you want to go back to genoa city , we 'll be on the next flight . so ... what do we do ? abby : we honeymoon . jill : you do n't give a damn about billy . how can you show your face here ? victor : jill , i 'm here to support my daughter . jill : you go to hell ! victoria : can we not do this right now ? jill : all right , but i do n't want one unkind remark about billy . i do n't want you smirking or dancing on his grave ! this is not happening ! nikki : of course it 's not happening , jill . we 're not here to make things any more difficult for anyone . victor : i am here for my daughter . that 's all . victoria : jill . billy is the father to my dad 's grandchildren . i just think in times like this , we should just ... nikki : we should stand by each other , and that 's what we are here to do . victor : nikki 's absolutely right . our thoughts are with your family . jill : oh , you do n't give a damn what happens to billy ! phyllis : jill , getting upset like this is n't gon na help billy . come on . let 's -- let 's grab some coffee , okay ? jack , you come with us ? jack : i 'm not thirsty . victoria : jill is understandably upset . nikki : well , we all are . honey , do you know who could have possibly done this to billy ? victoria : no . lately billy and i ... i just want whoever did this found . victor : sweetheart , i have my own investigators on this . i 'm sure paul williams will do everything in his power to find the culprit . noah : i did n't come forward about what ? look , if this is about you and luca , you two have the right to do whatever you -- marisa : you really do n't know ? noah : i do n't know what , marisa ? look , you 're obviously talking around something , so just tell me what it is . marisa : i 'm talking about what happened to billy . noah : billy got beat up and ran over . kevin thinks it has to do with something like a gambling debt . what does that have to do with me coming forward ? marisa : it -- it was n't like that . noah : marisa , what are you talking about ? marisa : there was no one beating him up , okay ? it was an accident . noah : how do you know that ? marisa : because ... because i saw billy after he was hit by that car . noah : what are you saying , marisa ? did -- did you see the people that did this ? did -- did they scare you ? did they try to intimidate you or ... marisa : i lied to the police . okay , i told them that i did n't have any more information , but i ... saw the car . i - i saw the driver . noah : so why did n't you just tell them that ? marisa : [ sighs ] it was you , noah . noah : that 's impossible . marisa : it 's true . noah : no . how -- how -- how could i hit billy ? i -- marisa : when you pulled out of the parking lot , you must have known you had hit something . you -- you must have felt something . noah : i mean , i remember hitting a bump . i ... i - i just thought it was -- it was a curb or a parking block or ... no . no , no , no , no . i hit a parking block , marisa . you have to be wrong about this . marisa : noah , i saw you . noah : no , no , maybe you saw somebody that looked like me . marisa : when you left so suddenly after you saw me kiss luca , i followed you to the parking garage . i saw you pull around that other car . billy was on the ground . you -- you hit him , and then you took off . noah : [ stammers ] billy was on the ground ? why was he on the ground ? marisa , why -- marisa : i -- noah : oh , my god . oh , my god . i did n't see him . i did n't see him . i ... marisa : i know . i know you could n't have . noah : i could have killed him . i did n't even know . i - i have to go to the police . marisa : no ! no . noah : i have to report this , marisa . it was an accident ! it was just an accident ! marisa : it 's never that simple , noah . noah : billy is in the hospital . he could die . how am i just supposed to keep quiet about this ? marisa : you just have to give it some time . noah : and what ? and what ? lie ? marisa : [ sighs ] damn it , noah , you ca n't be this naive , okay ? you were angry . you 'd had a few drinks . noah : no , i was n't too drunk to drive . i was n't drunk at all , okay ? marisa : and that could be worse ! noah : how -- how is me being sober gon na be worse ? what are you -- marisa : after what your grandfather has done to the abbotts , do you really think that anyone is gon na believe this was an accident ?

[ alarms blare ] noah : what i have to tell you -- nikki : what is that ? victoria : we need a doctor . we need help ! stitch : what would make you feel better right now is to tell you a half - truth like your mom and not ruin our honeymoon . abby : what i want , but what 's probably gon na hurt like hell , is for you to just be honest with me . do n't coddle me . is billy dying ? stitch : abby ... abby : just tell me the truth , okay ? because if he is , then i need to go . i need to be with my family . and i need you to come with me . i need you to pull him through this . stitch : i love you . abby : i love you , too . and i promise this is not the end of our honeymoon . i plan for it to go on a very long time .

[ door opens ] paul : where would you hear something like that ? nikki : well , certainly not from my son . sharon told me he was on a case . paul : okay , nik , what exactly did sharon say ? nikki : sharon did n't say anything , but she was upset . and ever since she mentioned it , i - i have a bad feeling about it ! paul : dylan 's fine . nikki : well , i would like to know that for myself . i left him a message yesterday . he still has n't called me back today . and i am worried . where is he ? ! paul : i 'm afraid you 're not gon na be able to talk to dylan while he 's on assignment . nikki : why ? what is he doing ? paul : i ca n't tell you that . nikki : paul , i am his mother . you have to tell me something ! please ! paul : trust me , nik . it is better this way . nikki : better for whom ? oh , my god . it 's something dangerous , is n't it ? paul : look , i can tell you this . he is absolutely the best man for the job . nikki : how could you let him do that ? how could you put our son at risk like that ? ! paul : [ sighs ] nikki -- nikki : he volunteered . of course he volunteered . he volunteered . how could you let him do that ? ! paul : come on . you know dylan . nikki : [ sighs ] and , of course , i 'm sure he just jumped at the chance . after losing christian , after all the lies with sharon , and he was so hurt at christmastime , the whole family gathering together , wrapped around a child that he thought was his . i just hate that he feels like an outsider peering in , and i hate that we have this rift . paul : yeah , i 'm sorry about that , too . but he does love you . and it 's going to take him some time to come to terms with what 's happened . and that 's exactly what this assignment will do . it 'll give him time . nikki : maybe with some time and distance , it might help him . paul : i believe it will . nikki : it does n't mean that i 'm not gon na pray for him every single day until he comes home . paul : no , there 's nothing wrong with a little prayer . nikki : thanks for telling me . paul : [ sighs ] billy : going up ? you do n't mind stopping on my floor , do you ? jack : actually , it 's still my floor , though you are lucky enough to continue working there . billy : it burns you , does n't it , having to see my mug every day because victor forced your hand . jack : nobody forced me to do anything . i simply put the needs of my foundation ahead of my ardent desire to have you and your partners out of here . billy : whatever you need to say to look in the mirror and tell yourself you 're the man , jack . jack : i am the man . jabot is gon na crush you , and i will have a front - row seat to watch you crash and burn . billy : how exactly do you plan on taking down brash & sassy , jack ? i mean , should i have the lab swept for bugs , make sure my computer 's not hacked ? jack : oh , i wo n't have to resort to any underhanded tactics . see , i know what i 'm doing . and sure as i 'm standing here , you 're going to implode like you always do . sadly , this time you 'll be taking victoria and cane and all their hard work with you . but i 'll sit and wait .

[ chuckles ] ashley : what about your heart ? that could n't have been easy for you the other night . we 're at the same exact place you were married a year ago , honey . abby : and now i 'm divorced , so yeah , there were a couple of wobbly moments , but it 's a new year , and a new year means a fresh start no matter how badly i screwed up . ashley : honestly , abby , you 've been nothing but the personification of grace and strength , and your mother could not be prouder of you . abby : well , truth , i 'm feeling pretty optimistic . ashley : yeah ? abby : when i think about devon and his accident and what hilary is going through , we have to make the most of every day that we have , even if that means moving on from the end of my marriage . jack : oh , that makes two of us . i am here to report my last ties with phyllis have been cut . ashley : you fired her ? jack : she quit . abby : wait , what ? ashley : she quit ? abby : she quit ? lauren : you know , when the preliminary numbers came in , i thought that they were bad enough . but then , you know , i said to myself we 'll have a very strong christmas season , we 'll be back in the black , and instead it 's a disaster ! phyllis : so we fix it . lauren : you know something ? i always prided myself on being a competent businesswoman . when my -- when my business had a problem in the past , i had a plan . you know , i felt in control . [ voice breaking ] i feel like it 's all slipping through my fingers right now . i , um ... did i get complacent ? did i stop paying attention ? [ sighs ] fenmore 's has lost a lot of ground . i mean , what if it 's too much ? what if i ca n't get it back ? victoria : my goodness . what did that coat ever do to you ? billy : just had a fantastic conversation with my brother . victoria : yeah ? did you do the victory dance because we get to stay ? billy : a little bit . i swear he lost all sense of humor . [ sighs ] did you talk to j.t . by chance ? victoria : by chance i did a couple of times . so between j.t . and reed , i 'm totally filled in . billy : okay , well , do n't keep me in suspense . victoria : all you need to know is that reed will finish out the school year here . he 's my `` problem `` until the summer . christine : you wanted to see me ? paul : yeah , i want to go over this again . you personally briefed dylan on this case , right ? christine : yes . paul : so he is fully aware that fisk and all of his associates do n't have a problem with , say , killing anybody ? christine : he knew the risks . where is this coming from ? paul : nikki was here . she knew he was on assignment . so he must have talked to sharon , sharon talked to nikki . dylan was not to say anything to anyone about this case ! christine : okay , and i made it very clear to him , and dylan said he understood . did nikki know any of the details of the assignment ? did she imply that sharon did ? paul : no . christine : so then why are you getting so upset ? paul : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i guess ... i guess i wanted to be the one to brief him personally . christine : paul , you were in eau claire . if i could have waited , i would have . you know that we 're under a time crunch , trying to stop fisk before that heroin shipment gets to genoa city . paul : yeah , i - i know . i get that . i guess -- i do n't know . i - i guess i wanted to see him before he left . christine : [ sighs ] i promise you he was well - prepped . he had everything he needed . and he knew exactly what he was getting himself into . paul : come on , chris . you and i both know the risks . i guess i just wanted to tell him i love him and let him know how proud i am . i just hope to god i made the right call . billy : reed 's your problem ? that 's a little harsh . victoria : yeah , well , those are j.t . 's words , not mine . it seems that reed 's running here is just the latest , and they 've been butting heads 24/7 . j.t . has no idea what to do . billy : he 's 15 years old . it 's not a big deal . victoria : [ sighs ] no , it 's more than that . j.t . pretty much confirmed what you said . reed feels like he 's not very high on his father 's priority list behind mac , his half brother , and the new baby , oh , and then there 's j.t . 's work , of course . billy : yeah , and moving halfway across the world does n't help that . victoria : well , apparently this trouble all started before europe was even brought up . [ sighs ] billy : i think this is a good thing , okay ? reed 's a good kid , and i stand by what i said . he needs your love and support and attention , and who 's got a bigger heart than you ? you have a chance to connect to your son in a way that his father was n't able to . victoria : i want that more than anything . but what if i ca n't ? phyllis : we 've got this , and you have already made one brilliant move , and that is hiring me to help you turn things around . and that is what we 're gon na do . unless you 're having a super - fun time in your own personal pity party here . lauren : no , i 'm really not having a good time at all . okay . no more fear . no more doubt . [ sighs ] we do what needs to be done . phyllis : yes . good . that 's it . welcome back . i almost was worried . lauren : you know , my father trusted me with our family business . this is his legacy . i ca n't let him down . phyllis : that 's it . lauren : okay . all right . so tell me about your progress with fenmore 's new online presence and all the oodles of money we 're gon na be making . phyllis : okay , you buy me a cup of coffee in a warm place , please , and i will show you what i got . come on . all right . ashley : so phyllis came up to you at the new year 's eve benefit and told you that she was out , that 's it ? abby : no big fight , no begging you to prove herself ? ashley : and no threat that she 's gon na take 50 % of your share of the company when she left ? jack : she did not even mention the divorce settlement . she said she wanted to make a clean break . abby : so what 's she gon na do ? jack : i do n't know . she 's working on some new project . not sure what it is , nor do i care . abby : well , that must be a huge relief . i 'm very happy for you , uncle jack . ashley : is it too early for champagne ? abby : [ laughs ] jack : there is work to be done . lots of it . abby : all right , well , i will let you guys get to it . um , goodbye . ashley : bye , honey . abby : i 'll see you guys later . jack : bye , ab . abby : bye . ashley : love you . abby : love you . bye . ashley : hey , by the way , have you spoken to neil about devon ? jack : devon is holding his own . i think that 's the best we can expect right now . ashley : well , i 'm no fan of hilary 's , but i do feel for her now . jack : i am headed to the hospital in a little while . i 'll keep you informed . uh , right now i 'd like to talk about business . ashley : jabotgo . you need an update . jack : actually , i meant fenmore 's . i 've been doing a little digging . holiday sales were a great disappointment , much lower than expected , this on the end of a bad year . ashley : everybody has a bad year now and again , jack . we had one not that long ago . jack : this is much worse . lauren is gon na try to spin this as a temporary downturn , but fenmore 's is vulnerable . it 's time to make our move . stitch : i understand you want to stay . there is nothing you can do . hilary : devon would n't even be here if it was n't ... stitch : what happened was an accident . black ice , high speed -- devon 's lucky to be alive . hilary : can you guarantee that he 's gon na be okay ? stitch : we 're gon na do our best . hilary : [ sobs ] i just ... i just need him . i need him to wake up . i need him to wake up so i can tell him that i love him . i need him to wake up so i can tell him ... [ sobs ] stitch : i am sure devon knows how much you love him . it 's another reason he 's a lucky man . so what do you say ? take a break ? hilary : no . i ca n't go home like this . not without devon . no , i 'm not going -- i 'm not going home . stitch : anyone ever tell you you 're a very stubborn woman ? hilary : i need to see devon . now . jack : with fenmore 's in our pocket , we would have increased control over distribution , increased market share . think of all the cross - promotion possibilities . we would blow the competition out of the water . ashley : as in brash & sassy , who have had an exclusive contract with fenmore 's for years . and i have a feeling before the ink is even dry on your so - called `` deal , `` if there is one , you 're gon na terminate that contract [ snaps fingers ] like that . jack : it 's business , ash . you know the deal . ashley : it gives you just a little thrill , though , does n't it ? stick it to our little brother . jack : again , it 's just business . i take it you 're not too enthused about this . ashley : i do n't know , jackie . is this really the right time to be taking on something of this magnitude ? we have a lot of other irons in the fire , jack . it was n't that long ago we had a cash - flow problem of our own , you know . jack : we are firmly in the black now . we have rescued our reputation . all numbers are on the upswing , thanks largely to your new app for jabotgo . acquiring fenmore 's would only increase that momentum . ashley : you 're hell - bent on going through with this , are n't you , jack ? jack : somebody else is gon na swoop in if we do n't . ashley : well , how are you so sure that lauren will even sell ? you know , fenmore 's is more than just a brand to lauren like jabot is to us . i 'm not so sure she 's gon na want to let go of the family business . jack : i 'm not so sure lauren 's gon na have a choice . [ knock on door ] jack : come in ! ravi : ashley ? your assistant said you were here . i was -- i was hoping you had a minute . ashley : we 're actually in the middle of a meeting , ravi . jack : which we can finish later . i actually have an appointment . think about it . ashley : i 'm actually glad you 're here . i wanted to talk to you about new year 's eve . victoria : i 've missed so much with reed , and i am happy to be spending time with him again , but i just do n't know if i 'm prepared to suddenly have my teenage son living with me . billy : what ? after years of living with a guy like me , you 're locked and loaded . victoria : [ sighs ] it 's not quite the same , billy . billy : hey , listen to me . you are a fantastic mother , okay ? listen to your instincts . let reed know how much you love him . you 'll be fine . victoria : well , j.t . loves him , too , and look at how well that 's going . and it 's not like our households are that different . i have two small kids living with me , a demanding job . i want to give reed the time and the attention that he needs , but there 's already not enough hours in the day . billy : well , lucky for you , there 's me . victoria : no , billy . it 's not your responsibility . billy : nobody 's talking responsibility , okay ? reed 's a good guy . we get along well . i 'd love to help out . that 's all i 'm saying . you do n't have to do it alone . victoria : [ sighs ] reed : hey , mom . hey , billy . billy : hey , man . victoria : hey , you ! come here ! mwah ! reed : mom , come on . victoria : [ laughs ] okay , listen . if you 're gon na be living with me , then i get to kiss you whenever i want . billy : get used to it , man . she 's a stickler for the rules . victoria : how was your morning ? reed : it was great . um , i took a tour of gc high , got my class schedule , even ran into some of my old friends from grade school . victoria : oh , wow ! it sounds like you 're all set . reed : yeah , totally . victoria : yeah . reed : thank you so , so much again for having me . i mean , this is gon na be awesome . victoria : that 's my boy . [ sighs ] christine : the last time we talked about dylan taking on this assignment , i asked you some really hard questions about his state of mind , and you were confident that he was the man for the job . so what changed ? paul : [ sighs ] i guess nothing . it 's just now that it 's all happening , um ... i 'm having second thoughts . christine : you 're thinking like a dad . paul : uh - huh . i just hope that he stays focused and he 's not grabbing on to this to escape the pain from losing christian . christine : all i can tell you is he was very much in control . he was professional and confident . paul : of course . i mean , that 's his default mode . but , chris , what if i 'm wrong ?

[ voice breaking ] what if -- what if something happens ? stitch : he is stable . he 's had a lot more sleep than you have . would n't it be great for devon to open his eyes and see his beautiful , healthy , rested wife by his side ? huh ? hilary : you 'll call ? stitch : we 'll call . hilary : [ sniffles ] paul : wait a second . christine : oh , gosh . it 's freezing . paul : `` elvis has entered the building . `` christine : what does that mean ? paul : it 's kevin 's code . dylan 's arrived in miami . he 's getting into place . christine : he 's safe . paul : yeah , so far , so good . billy : i 'm a gibson man myself . reed : ooh , old school . billy : hey , do n't call me old . i still got the moves , buddy . check this out .

[ chuckles ] [ cell phone chimes ] billy : that 's right . reed : oh , it 's from lew . hey , you remember lew ? victoria : uh , yeah ! lew ! third grade ! he fell out of the tree and he broke his arm . i remember him . reed : yeah , he wants to chill . um , that cool ? victoria : oh , um , yeah , sure . just , uh , let me know when you 're coming home , okay ? reed : you got it . victoria : okay . reed : see you , billy . billy : see you later , buddy . reed : bye , mom . victoria : bye , honey . i do n't know my own son . billy : you got a chance to get to know him all over again . that 's a good thing . you got a 15-year - old boy that actually likes his mom , that wants to spend time with his mom . that sure as hell was n't true for me . you know how lucky you are ? you know how lucky he is ? victoria : so , let the adventure begin . ashley : hey , ravi , how 's that beta testing going ? we have to get the new version out as soon as possible . ravi : i 'm almost through making the adjustments we discussed . i 'm gon na work late tonight , tweak the problem areas . if you 're around , i 'd appreciate some feedback . ashley : oh , i 've got dinner plans , but thanks . i 'll talk to you tomorrow . ravi : of course . have fun . `` have fun `` ? [ sighs ] phyllis : i have a lot of regrets ... about a lot of things . walking out of jabot , that 's not one of them . i was -- i was an idiot . i was a total idiot to think i could throw myself into jack 's orbit and somehow he would magically forget i broke his heart . lauren : you had to try . you loved him . phyllis : all that did was put us both through more hell . i just realized that i was fighting for something that no longer exists . lauren : do you still love him ? phyllis : i am regaining my dignity and getting my life back . i 'm finding new purpose , and ... i do n't know if i can remember the last time i felt this good . nikki : i never thought i 'd see the day where phyllis would admit defeat , but thank god . jack : i have to admit , i 'm looking forward to focusing on jabot without all the distractions . nikki : translation -- you 're planning on burying yourself in work , and that is never a healthy option . jack : i am fine . in fact , i am planning on taking jabot to new heights . nikki : well , here 's an idea . why do n't you take some time for yourself to heal , because you have been through a very traumatic time , jack . hiding your problems behind work can be just as damaging as getting to the bottom of a bottle . jack : do i really look traumatized to you ? nikki : i know . you always seem to bounce back . jack : i am a new man , nikki . and soon you and everyone else will see i 'm at the top of my game . [ next_on ] gloria : i 'm going to stop by the design studio and brighten chelsea 's day by going back to work . chloe : [ clears throat ] stitch : can you hear me ? devon ! come on , pal . you can do this .

'cause all i do is remember how i lied to her about juliet and hilary 's car crash , and i know it only made matters worse . so what i 'm gon na do is , i 'm gon na do the right thing this time , and i 'm gon na tell lily the truth . victoria : thank you . [ sighs ] thank you so much for seeing me on short notice like this . dr. mosely : i 'm glad you called . what 's been going on ? victoria : gosh , i do n't even know where to start . my mother nearly died . and now she 's in intensive care . [ sighs ] reed is home for the holidays . and that 's been very complicated . and last but not least , my dad has been arrested for j.t . 's murder . dr. mosely : i saw that on the news . that must be so difficult . how have you been handling it ? victoria : i ... i feel totally responsible . dr. mosely : it 's interesting you feel responsible . i 'm wondering why that is . victoria : well , i know why . [ sighs ] because it all comes back to me . because if i had n't brought j.t . back into my life , then none of these things would be happening . there 's not one day that goes by that i do n't wish that i could go back and make everything disappear . his murder . the police investigation . how his father being gone is affecting my son . everyone is suffering because of my bad choice . [ scoffs ] and now my dad -- my dad is in jail because of me . he hated j.t . he never made that a secret . which is why everyone thinks that he 's guilty . dr. mosely : it sounds like you do n't think that he 's guilty . victoria : no , i know that my father 's not guilty . and i know that for a fact , because -- because i know my father . dr. mosely : so , tell me , how are you managing your anxiety ? victoria : well , that 's the best part . heh ... i kissed two men in one day . so you tell me . how do you think i 'm managing things ? because , honestly , i feel like i 'm going out of my mind . tech : at safelite autoglass jack : wow . you go out of town for a few days , a hell of a lot can happen . billy : incredible , right ? jack : you know , i wo n't lose any sleep over victor being behind bars , but the nikki thing bothers me . they 're sure that she 's gon na be okay ? billy : vicki said that she 's doing surprisingly well . physically , anyway . of course , she 's stressed out with victor being in jail . victoria 's having a rough time with this , too . of course , she swears up and down that her dad did n't have anything to do with j.t . 's murder . jack : sounds like the two of you have been spending more time together . billy : yeah . you know , i 'm just trying to be there for her and the kids in any capacity that she needs . jack : feel like you 're getting closer ? billy : uh , yeah . i guess you could say that . jack : more - than - friendly closer ? billy : well ... jack : are you blushing ? billy : [ gruffly ] come on ! i do n't blush . jack : okay . so go on . billy : um ... [ clears throat ] well , we , uh ... [ sighs ] we kissed . kinda sorta kissed . and then we -- we talked about it . we talked about our feelings . jack : very mature . billy : yeah . jack : so , tell me more . billy : well , she 's concerned about , you know , the circumstances , where my heart really is , and , um , what this all means kind of stuff . jack : do you know ? billy : yeah . i do . i 'm crazy about her , jack . i always have been . jack : okay . um ... i 'm gon na give you some advice you did n't ask for . forget the chemistry . forget the attraction that you 've never lost . forget how good it feels to be there for victoria and the kids . if you 're going to get involved with her again , you have to be absolutely certain . it is a complete commitment . one you can not afford to even appear to make unless you are certain this is what you want . are you really up to that ? victoria : thank you . dr. mosely : take your time . victoria : i just feel like i should have caution tape and those little orange cones around me . kissing two men in one day ? [ huffs ] what was i thinking ? what was i doing ? just makes absolutely no sense . dr. mosely : let 's try to unpack what 's going on . now , who were these men ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy . dr. mosely : your ex - husband . and the other ? victoria : a man that i used to work with . a lying , manipulative cheater , whose machinations caused a lawsuit that caused some irreparable damage to my company . and then , on top of that , when reed was dating his daughter , he was a complete imbecile about all of it . dr. mosely : is there an underlying attraction despite your animosity ? victoria : absolutely no . never . dr. mosely : let me see if i understand . you kissed a man you dislike and are not attracted to . tell me , what has your relationship with billy been like recently ? victoria : it 's been wonderful . he 's been very supportive , and a literal shoulder to lean on . and he makes me smile . and laugh . just like ... just like we used to . dr. mosely : and the kiss ? what was it like to kiss billy again ? victoria : i enjoyed it very much . dr. mosely : it sounds like you 're thinking of reuniting with him romantically ? victoria : i never imagined that i would . i never thought that things could be like this between us ever again . i do n't want to say it out loud , but , um ... he kind of makes me happy . dr. mosely : and yet ... ? victoria : and yet how can i have these feelings for billy , and then kiss a man that i loathe ? dr. mosely : that 's a good question . jill : honey , please . look at me . look at me . cane : [ sighs ] jill : be honest with me . this kiss -- it was really a meaningless kiss ? once , never to be repeated ? cane : i 've already told you -- & jill : i know what you 've told me . i know what you 've told me . but the way you 're reacting , it makes me think that maybe this kiss meant a little more than that , and you do n't want to admit it . cane : it was nothing . it was nothing . look , i never even intended for it to happen , all right ? i do n't even like her ! believe me . jill : i do . i do believe you , so i 'm gon na give you a great piece of advice . keep your mouth shut , okay ? never , never breathe this to another living soul . and never , ever speak a word of it to lily . nate : and how is my favorite patient doing today ? nikki : that 's why i wanted to see you -- for an update . nate : what do you want to know ? nikki : how soon can i get out of here ? cane : listen , telling lily is the right thing to do . jill : okay . have you thought for one minute about what this particular piece of information would do to her ? she will spend the rest of her days in there wondering what you 're doing , and who you 're doing it with . she will doubt herself . she will doubt your love for her . she will doubt her place in this home . and as much as you 've been struggling without her , you and i both know that that pales in comparison to what she 's been through . she has lost her freedom , cane . she 's cut off from her family . and the only way she is garnering any strength for herself is from her loved ones . so , please . she is depending on you . do not undermine her this way . cane : that 's the last thing that i want to do . jill : just admit that you made a stupid mistake and let it go . and spend the rest of your time devoting all of your energy to being the man that she needs you to be . cane : okay . jill : mm ! and promise me one thing , please . whoever this woman is who kissed you right out of the blue , would you stay the hell away from her ? because she sounds like nothing but trouble . victoria : maybe by kissing cane , i was [ sighs ] subconsciously trying to sabotage my chances of reconciliation with billy . dr. mosely : that 's an interesting theory . tell me more . victoria : maybe i knew how things ... would most likely end , and i wanted to ruin it before he could disappoint me again . there 's a million different reasons why my marriage to billy did n't work out , and why we never got back together . dr. mosely : tell me about those reasons . victoria : billy lied to me . he had a gambling problem that he was in rehab for . he was very , very reckless . and he just got out of a -- another relationship recently . dr. mosely : well , that 's who he was . let 's focus on now . who do you think billy is today ? victoria : he 's changed . he 's more mature . he 's thoughtful and careful . steady . dr. mosely : but ? victoria : he 's changed , but have i ? i trusted my instincts when i got back together with j.t . and look at what that did . look at what that did to my life . to my children , and to my family . i trusted my heart , and ... now i feel so ashamed . dr. mosely : let 's take your heart out of the equation . now , if i recall correctly , billy was never physically abusive , was he ? controlling ? cruel ? victoria : no , no , no . billy 's nothing like j.t . he would never try to hurt me . i just do n't know if i 'm ready to dive into another relationship . dr. mosely : what if , instead of diving in , you eased yourself in a little at a time ? at your own pace . victoria : i guess i could . dr. mosely : but before you go down that path , i would encourage you to have an honest , open conversation with billy . tell him about your hopes , and your fears , about building a new relationship with him , and see how he reacts . and then decide if you 're truly ready to move forward . billy : i 'm glad you 're asking me the tough questions . that 's what a big brother 's supposed to do . jack : you really ready to try again with victoria ? billy : yeah . i most definitely am . jack : i think that 's great . so what 's stopping you ? billy : victoria . i do n't -- [ sighs ] she has n't actually said that she wants to get back together . jack : have you ? or are you just both in a holding pattern , waiting for the other person to make the first move ? billy : i think she wants to . but , of course , with everything that i 've put her through in the past , you know ... jack : maybe it 's time you let her know where you stand . and that you 're standing on both feet . billy : what would you do ? jack : me ? billy : besides jetting off to bora bora , of course . jack : i would n't let her wonder for one more minute if i was ready to move forward . i would do something to remind her how great we were together . some gesture that -- that lets her know how much she means to me . billy : you 're smarter than you look , jack . jack : wait , wait , wait . where are you going ? billy : to do something that i should have done a while ago . wish me luck . jack : good luck . smile dad . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . look . it 's over . nate : [ sucks teeth ] okay , so , i 'd like to see your vitals a little stronger and more stable ... nikki : [ sighs ] nate : ... before we talk about letting you go back home . nikki : how much longer do i have to stay here ? nate : let 's -- let 's take it day by day , okay ? nikki : but i 'm already feeling so much better . nate : yes , you 've rebounded quite nicely . but if you were to leave before you 're ready , and something were to happen -- nikki : it won't . nate : your recovery has been nothing short of miraculous so far . and i wo n't let anything jeopardize that , including you . so , once i think you 're ready , i 'll give you my seal of approval , and you can be on your way . but until then , i want you to lay back . i want you to relax , and enjoy being waited on hand and foot . doctor 's orders . nikki : okay . whatever you say . nate : okay . we 'll see you later . nikki : thanks . jill : so , from the look of surprise on your face , i assume billy did n't tell you i was back in town ? jack : no , he did n't mention it . but , you know what , he 's a little preoccupied these days . i 'm always delighted to see you . jill : look at you ! oh , lovely linen . but it 's winter . what 's up with that ? jack : those were my bags we passed on the way in . i just got back from my vacation . bora bora . sublime . jill : mm . jack : what about you ? you and colin in town for a - post - holidays family reunion ? jill : [ sighs ] no , i made this trip solo . colin and i are taking a little break from each other . it 's a messy situation . i do n't want to get into it right now . but that is the reason that i have n't been in touch as much as i 'd like . jack : i 'm sorry to hear that . jill : do n't be . you know , sometimes love has an expiration date . but you get up , and you move forward . just like jabot has done without ashley , right ? have you heard from her lately ? jack : radio silence . jill : oh , dear . it was so terrible , what she did , lying about your dna . and then fudging the results of those tests . jack : yeah , not exactly her best moments . but you know what ? i was n't exactly faultless myself . jill : well , anyway . congratulations on being an official abbott again . i know how much it meant to you to find out the truth . jack : i have to admit , it does feel good . jill : i just wish that ashley had come clean before kyle felt compelled to desecrate phillip 's grave for the dna . jack : oh , i 'm still horrified that it ever got to that point . jill : well , that makes two of us . jack : then maybe we could make a deal ? let 's never mention it again . jill : oh , boy . agreed . so , billy tells me that you 've been working really hard to unite the family . team abbott and all that . jack : yeah , it 's what dad would have done . what dad would have wanted . jill : your dad . john certainly was a man among men , was n't he ? jack : oh , that he was . jill : and he 'd be very proud of you . jack : thanks . thanks . it means a lot to me to hear you say that . jill : mm . billy : nice timing . where are you coming from ? victoria : uh , i was -- i was at the hospital earlier . billy : yeah ? how 's mom ? victoria : she 's doing much better , thank goodness . billy : good . well , send her my love . victoria : i will . i 'm really glad you stopped by . billy : good . well , great minds think alike . please . ladies first . victoria : oh . [ chuckles ] you know , um ... i 've been thinking a lot since our last conversation . billy : yeah . me too . victoria : and ... i realized that i put a lot of the responsibility on you , asking you to sort out where your feelings for me were coming from . and asking you to be sure that you know what it is that you want . but i realized that maybe i did that because i was n't ready to be honest with myself . billy : so , how do you feel about me ? about us ? having a , uh ... about us having a romantic relationship ? victoria : i do have feelings for you . very , very strong feelings . but i - i honestly do n't know if i can be in a committed relationship with anyone again . i do n't know if i can be that vulnerable , that trusting , that open again . billy : because of what happened with j.t . ? victoria : and because of what happened with us . i just do n't want history repeating itself . i - i do n't think i could take it . and i would n't want to do that to the kids . i would n't want for us to try and then fail . because ... we would n't be the only ones hurt , you know ? our hearts would n't be the only ones breaking . you and i , we 've been through a lot . we really have . and i just -- i do n't think i could take it again if it did n't work out . so i just want you to think about that before you tell me whatever it is that you came here to say . jack : jill atkinson , may i introduce kerry johnson . jill : the reason for your tropical glow . jack : mm . jill : ker -- [ gasps ] kerry johnson ! you are jabot 's new phenomenon ! jack : your reputation precedes you . jill : ahh . kerry : very pleased to meet you , jill . jack : jill was married to my father . she 's billy 's mother . jill : and a former c.e.o . of jabot , i might add . kerry : oh , wow . so you two go way back . jack : oh , yeah . jill : way , way back . whoa ! the things i could tell you about jack . jack : that wo n't be necessary . jill : [ laughs ] what , are you afraid she wo n't approve of your misspent youth ? kerry : i am just happy to hear that she 's family and not another ex - wife . [ chuckles ] sorry . jill : mm . kerry : he 's been married to half the women i 've met here . i mean , better to keep them as friends than enemies , i suppose , but still . i do n't know . the sheer number . jill : mm - hmm . kerry : was it something i said ? jill : you want to take this one , jack ? jack : i - it wasn't ... always platonic . i - i can explain . kerry : well , this , i 'm dying to hear . billy : i think i know better than anyone what you 've been going through lately , and i want to be there for you . i want to be the person that you turn to to share your burdens with , to be the safe place . the man that you deserve . the time that we 've been spending together here in the house with and without the kids , it 's just -- it 's felt right . it 's felt true . and we 've both been through hell together and apart , and yet ... here we are . like it 's meant to be . and case in point . close your eyes for a second , okay ? do me a favor . close your eyes . victoria : [ sighs ] okay , fine , billy . billy : you keep them closed . victoria : [ chuckles ] hurry up . billy : just have some patience , okay ? victoria : please . [ chuckles ] all right . billy : okay . open them up . victoria : what is this about ? billy : this -- well , it 's a little bit of a re - gift , but i do n't think jack is gon na mind . it -- it looks like the hat that you wore in jamaica . victoria : it does look like the hat . billy : yeah , the hat that you were doing the limbo ... victoria : oh . billy : ... with , and dancing on the beach . victoria : actually , i think that you were doing most of the dancing that night . `` the funky chicken . `` billy : oh , great . so you remember . victoria : [ giggles ] how do you forget things like that ? billy : well , what i remember , it was the most beautiful , perfect time of my life . and i remember thinking then that we belong together . and that 's exactly why i asked you to be my wife . do n't worry . this is not a proposal . i guess all i 'm saying is that , everything that i felt then , i feel now . how are we feeling , mrs . newman ? anything i can get you ? nikki : as a matter of fact , yes . i 'd like the necessary forms to sign to check myself out of here . i 'll have to run that past dr . hastings first . nikki : i 've already spoken to him , and i 'm ready to leave . but signing yourself out against his medical advice -- nikki : is my legal right . i 'm aware of the risks , and i 'm willing to take them . so please bring me the papers . kerry : so , you 're saying you and jill -- jack : yes , but -- kerry : while she was married to your father ? jack : it was years ago . decades ago . kerry : mm . that young playboy i read about . jack : another lifetime . kerry : it was just the one time ? there was another dalliance when we were both un ... connected . and -- but -- [ stammers ] jill , help me out here . jill : what ? oh . uh ... my history with jack is just that -- history . jack : ancient history . jill : well , put it that way . anyway , we 're happily in the friend zone . once in a while we are a thorn in each other 's sides . jack : friends . nothing more . you have my word . jill : the man speaks the truth . kerry : [ scoffs ] well , it 's quite the story . i guess at least i can share my past without compunction knowing that nothing i 've done has ever been this , um ... jill : scandalous ? kerry : my stories would pale in comparison . jack : how do you really feel ? we can talk about this . kerry : no , no , no , no , no , no , no . stop . it 's not necessary . really . i s but , um ... i love that you 're so honest with me . jack : you really okay with this ? i know it 's a lot take in . kerry : we 're hardly children , jack . we all have scars . we all have a few skeletons rattling around in our closets . jack : thank you for being so gracious and understanding . kerry : [ sighs ] i got to get home and unpack . i do n't even want to think about the work waiting for me at jabot . jack : i 'll give you a call ? kerry : counting on it . [ chuckles ] jill : it was a delight meeting you , kerry . kerry : all mine . jack : and ... come on . i 'll walk you out . kerry : no , stop fussing . you 've got company . jill : jack , look at this . look at the babies . jack : what do you got ? oh ! jill : are n't they so adorable ? nate : cane . [ sighs ] cane : hey . nate : hey . cane : come here . sit down . nate : oh , looks like both of us needed a break from the office , huh ? cane : yeah . well , you know , a change of routine can , uh , sometimes be better than a vacation . nate : yes . i could use both . cane : so , what are you doing here ? nate : i had to tell an anxious patient that she had to spend a little more time in the hospital . she was less than happy . cane : yeah . yeah . i take it was , uh , nikki newman ? nate : i can neither confirm nor deny . cane : heh ... well , uh , devon told me that you got mixed up with victor trying to flee the country with her . nate : yes , an adventure i 'd like to not repeat . cane : well , i 'm glad you got out of that unscathed . nate : yeah . i just -- i -- you know , i was n't sure at first , though , you know . most people probably think i 'm crazy , but i just could n't turn my back on her . not even to save my own life . cane : well , she was lucky you were there . and , uh , victor is a tough guy to stand up to , so ... cheers . nate : i felt for the guy . you know , just trying to protect his wife . cane : you know , that , uh , impulse to drop everything and run away , i almost did that . nate : mm . cane : yeah . after the car crash and before lily was sentenced , i , uh ... yeah , i made the conscious decision to just say , `` whatever , `` to the law , and just run off with my kids and lily to australia . nate : i mean , yeah . but ... going on the run with your family , living , you know , life like fugitives ... what kind of life would that have been ? cane : but what kind of life is this without her ? victoria : this is a wonderful gesture , billy . but we 're a million miles away from that night in jamaica . we were kids then compared to now . we ca n't go back . billy : no , we ca n't go back . but it can be a new beginning in our story . [ sighs ] no crazy plot twists . no ridiculous expectations or self - fulfilling prophecies . [ sighs ] it can be different this time . victoria : how can you be so sure ? billy : because this time , i 'm not gon na let you down . i 'm more mature . i 'd like to think i 'm wiser . and i want to be able to give everything to you . everything that you need . everything that you want . i learned from my mistakes , and i want to show you every day that i can be good for you . good to you . and worthy of being a part of your life . victoria : oh , i ca n't , billy . not -- not yet . billy : [ sighs ] okay . whatever you need . victoria : just ... so much has happened , and everything is moving so fast . with my parents and reed .

[ scene_break ] michael : okay , you hit him with a champagne bottle . sharon : i had to ! i had to , okay ? he was gon na beat me again , and he was starting to rape me . and -- oh , god , it was horrible . michael : all right , okay . are you sure that he 's dead ? sharon : uh , he did n't have a pulse . michael : well , your first mistake was going to that motel room . sharon : i had no choice , michael . he was going to tell nicholas about denver . michael : see , that was your second mistake -- not confiding in nicholas when kirsten tried to blackmail you the first time . sharon : why do n't you understand ? i could not tell nicholas about that . nick and i have had enough problems this year , god knows , and this was going to be the last straw ! michael : okay , okay , okay . where the hell was nicholas while this was happening ? sharon : he was in the office . cameron had him working on some proposal that he supposedly needed by morning . michael : oh , i see , leaving you free for a tryst at the motel room . sharon : oh , god . nick 's expecting to hear from him today . michael : and when he does n't hear from him , he 's gon na wonder why . sharon : he 's already wondering . michael , this was an accident . i swear it . michael : why did n't you call your husband or the police or even me , for that matter ? why ? sharon : who 's gon na believe me ? look , i - i panicked , okay ? i was in shock . i did n't know what to do . michael : so you left him lying there and you ran off into the night . sharon : not exactly .

[ scene_break ] michael : i 'm almost afraid to ask what that means . sharon : i told you . i was panicked . i was scared . michael : just tell me what you did . sharon : i , uh ... i wrapped his body in a sheet from the bed . it was so horrible , michael . i could n't even -- i could n't look at him . i , uh ... i dragged him down into the hallway and ... and then down the fire escape and then out into the alley . michael : and you left him ? sharon : yeah , behind a dumpster . michael : do you realize how guilty that makes you look ? sharon : i was n't thinking about that . michael : obviously you were n't thinking much , period . sharon : michael , please do n't criticize me , okay ? i need your help . i need you to tell me what to do . michael : sharon , there 's only one piece of advice i can give you . sharon : what is it ? michael : and i 'm bound by law to do so . you 've got to go to the authorities . you 've got to tell them what happened . i 'll go with you . i will help you . sharon : no , uh , i ca n't go to the police , michael . there 's too much at stake here . michael : you listen to me . listen to me , sharon . it probably snowed all night . the body is probably almost buried , but eventually someone will discover it . sharon : oh , god . oh , god . look , i -- even if i did go to the police , there 's no saying that they 're gon na believe me . there 's no saying they 're not gon na think i did this on purpose . michael : no , no , no . you are taking a hell of a risk keeping quiet . i mean , it is hard to get away with murder . sharon : this was not murder , okay ? he was trying to rape me . michael : but understand it 's your word against his , and he ca n't talk . he 's dead . sharon : okay . but they would have to have some reason to connect it to me , and they do n't . michael : you hope . sharon : god , michael , what am i gon na do ? i ca n't go to the police . i just -- i ca n't go to the police . michael : okay . it 's your funeral , sharon . you call me if you change your mind . meantime , i 'll keep my fingers crossed . michael : you know where to find me .

[ scene_break ] phyllis : wow . uh , my god . neil , if you 're right -- neil : oh , come on , phyllis . of course , i 'm right . when i ran it past dru , her expression gave her away totally . phyllis : okay , she did n't -- she did n't 100 % confirm that they had an orchid . neil : what are you talking about ? she did n't have to . drucilla , she 's very bright , resourceful and clever , but as a poker player , she stinks . so next steps , we have a neofinetia . we 're behind on points , since we do n't know exactly what the competition is so cranked up about . however , logic tells us that it 's something in the cosmetics or personal - care realm . i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na call r & d , let them know that you 'll be coming by with the orchid for analysis . i 'm assuming that you put the orchid in water , right ? phyllis : yeah . neil : is it here at the office ? how soon can i let them know to expect you ? phyllis : um , neil , you ca n't . neil : what do you mean i ca n't ? phyllis : i do n't have the orchid . i gave it to jack

the newman 's are back in power at newman enterprises and neil is not happy , he expresses to victor that he will no longer answer to his children . phyllis is not feeling nick doing double duty especially because it means working closely with sharon , who she reminds nick is her husband . sharon catches noah in a lie , michael and eden talk about the stolen money . michael also talks to kevin about breaking into the tack house and reminds him to do the right thing , this leads kevin to visit kay in jail . glo ruins her chance of getting out of the joint purposely .

( normal voice ) it 's your mom . daniel , wake up , please . wake up , daniel . here 's got ta be adam : ( sighs ) oh , god , there 's got ta be a way to prove that skye was in hawaii somehow . sharon : what about the investigators you sent there ? leslie : yeah , well , we spoke this morning . still no leads . really , it 's been one dead end after another . sharon : all right , so what do we do now ? leslie : well , i have a call into vance to see how he wants to proceed . once i know , you 'll know . okay ? sharon : ( sighs ) adam : ( groans ) we 'll get through this . we 'll get through this somehow . sharon : yeah , let 's just hope that happens sooner rather than later . adam : what 's wrong ? sharon : i just ran into nick today . he 's furious with me . adam : what ? he heard about your trip ? sharon : yeah . now he 's threatened me . he wants to sue for full custody . adam : what ? ! why would he -- why would he do something like that after everything you 've been through with here ? sharon : i just ca n't imagine how this can get any worse . adam , if we do n't find evidence that skye is alive , i could lose my little girl . nick : mom , it really helps knowing you 'll support me going after full custody . nikki : honey , i know it 's not a decision you made lightly . but given sharon 's outrageous behavior , you have no choice . nick : i know . i will not allow adam to be a part of faith 's life . nikki : you just let me know if you need any help looking after her or summer . nick : thanks , mom . you 're the best . victor : hi . esther : oh , boy . that picture of daisy on the run in canada , it 's all over the news , tv . i feel so sorry for that baby that she -- she 's carrying . i wonder what 's gon na happen to it . what do you think ? chloe : i do n't know . probably nothing good . esther : oh , and poor jana getting carjacked . chloe : mom , let 's not forget about daniel , okay ? he was a victim , too . esther : oh , i hope they 're both gon na be all right . chloe : well , last i heard , daniel 's still unconscious , and jana , i 'm not sure how she 's doing . i mean , she stayed over at kevin 's on account of her concussion . but i called earlier , and i mean , there 's no word . she 's still sleeping . esther : wait , wait , wait . you and kevin are speaking again ? because the other night , you -- chloe : i know . the other night , i was upset , and i said a lot of stupid things . then i realized ... i realized i want to be with kevin . like , be with him . esther : oh , sweetie . i am so glad , 'cause anyone can see that he is crazy about you . chloe : and , well , as soon as jana 's all better and ready to be on her own , the kevin and i can be more than just friends . kevin : so what do n't you tell me what you remember about last night ? jana : well ... you took me to the athletic club for a very romantic dinner . oh , god , you even reserved the honeymoon suite , did n't you ? kev , why do you look so confused ? kevin : jana , um ... ( sighs ) you 're not making any sense right now . jana : yeah , i know . everything is kind of a blur still . i do remember there was something about caviar , though . i just do n't remember actually eating it . oh , things were a bit tense between us , were n't they ? 'cause i 've been spending so much time with ryder lately . do n't be mad , okay ? but i do think that there is a connection between daisy and ryder , you know ? kevin : right . right . we 've known about that for some time . jana : no , no , no , no , no . but it goes back even further than that . i - i think that they may have known each other when they were kids . kevin : w - what 's the date today ? jana : february 19th . kevin : 2010 ? jana : ( chuckles ) what is wrong with you ? you 're starting to scare me . kevin : okay . okay . i think i need to take you to the doctor . jana : no , why ? kevin : uh , you , uh , you know . you -- you -- you -- your head hurts . and you ca n't remember things , and i think it 's best if we just get you checked out . why do n't we , uh ... let 's go now . jana : what ? okay . really ? kevin : yeah , really . here you go . sharon : all we need is one tiny shred of evidence that she left here alive and that he went to hawaii . adam : ( sighs ) i still think victor 's our best lead . sharon : i asked him point blank if he helped skye disappear . adam : let me guess . he said he was n't involved . sharon : it 's still hard for me to believe that he would do something like this , something so cruel , to his own son . adam : still , sharon , as close as you two are , you have to know he would no sooner look you in the eyes and smile than stare you in the face and lie , especially if it meant seeing me fry . victor : so ... what brings you by ? nikki : um , i came to see nicholas . victor : mm . you find him ? nikki : yes , i did . victor : good . ( sighs ) here we are . nikki : yep . nick : i hope i 'm not interrupting . jack : ( sighs ) no , actually , your timing is great . i 'm on my way out of here to get something to maybe tempt this one to eat . you mind keeping her company until i get back ? nick : i 'd be glad to . jack : thanks . nick : how 's he doing ? phyllis : the doctors told me to be patient , that it 'll take time ... phyllis : time . ( sighs ) what if he does n't have any time ? phyllis : thinking of cassíe , are n't you ? i 'm thinking of her , too . she 's kind of all i 'm thinking about . i just wonder ... ( sighs ) i keep on thinking about , um , the last conversation we had . it was n't very good . ( chuckles ) ( voice breaking ) it was n't a good conversation . i just keep on wondering if that 's the last conversation that i 'm ever gon na have with him . and i just keep on wondering if that 's just the last time we 're -- we 're ever gon na talk . i keep on wondering if i 'm ever gon na see those beautiful blue eyes anymore . ( sniffles ) ( sighs ) ( whispering ) oh , god . nick . ( sighs ) what if she does n't wake up ? nick : it may not seem like it , but you being here -- it is helping . phyllis : mm . you do n't know that . nick : it was enough for summer . it will be enough for daniel . phyllis : this is karma . ( sighs ) this is karma . i 'm finally getting my payback . finally . nick : not all karma 's bad . daniel 's a great kid . he 's been doing everything right lately . look at the way he stepped up for daisy and the baby . i guarantee you , he is gon na keep on making us proud . phyllis : everybody told me what daisy was like . everybody told me , but i did n't listen . i thought i was right . everybody else was wrong . i - i had all the answers . that 's what i thought . and now ... i look at him , and i did this to him . i did this . i was so irresponsible . ( sighs ) nick : you just did what you thought was right for the baby . phyllis : i know , but that does n't really help me now . nick : all right , listen to me . things happen . they just happen . and you 're gon na drive yourself crazy trying to make sense of it . the good news is , things ca n't stay bad forever . summer got better . daniel is gon na get better , too . phyllis : you do n't know that for sure . nick : but i can choose to believe in a positive outcome . i can focus my energy on the people who need me , not on my own fear . kevin : then i woke up , and it was just crazy , like the whole last year just did n't happen . dr. sachs : well , she suffered a lot of brain trauma -- the stress of being kidnapped , an aneurysm , now a concussion . kevin : so you 're saying that it 's , like , cumulative , or is this just from her hitting her head last night ? dr. sachs : i wo n't know until i examine her . kevin : okay . jana : ( sighs ) hi . it 's a lot of forms to fill out for a silly hangover and a bump on the head . do n't you think ? dr. sachs : you know , as long as you 're here , i 'd like to run some tests -- a c.t . scan , neurological workup . jana : really ? you think -- you think that 's necessary ? dr. sachs : ca n't hurt . i 'll walk you down to radiology . jana : okay , well , you 're coming too , right ? kevin : um , i 'm -- i 'll wait here . and i 'll be -- i 'll be here when you 're done . kevin : ( sighs ) ( sighs ) hi , it 's me . i 'm at memorial . chloe : is it daniel ? kevin : no , it 's jana . you know how some people lose their keys ? well , jana lost 2010 . chloe : what ? kevin : it 's really scary . she 's in with a neurologist right now . chloe : okay , i - i 'm on my way . i 'll be right there . ( sighs ) jack : a large cinnamon latte and a turkey club to go , please . throw -- throw in a - a brownie , too , okay ? thanks . sharon : ( clears throat ) um , hey . how 's daniel ? jack : no change . the doctors say all we can do is wait . sharon : i 'm really sorry to hear that . i 'll think good thoughts for him . jack : thanks . sharon : jack , you know , when i ran into you and phyllis in the airport , um , obviously , she is n't going to believe anything i have to say , but you ... i was hoping you would keep an open mind , because everything i told you was the truth . jack : why do you care what i think ? i 'm not the police . sharon : nick threatened to go before a judge and take full custody of faith . the only way i can stop him is to prove that adam is n't a murderer . jack : is n't a murderer this time . sharon : i saw skye . she was standing as close to me as you are sitting right now . i took a picture of her with my camera . but then we were struggling over it , and that was when she ... ( sighs ) she fell . i held onto her for as long as i could . but we were both wearing gloves , and i just -- i was n't strong enough , and she -- she just -- she slipped from my grasp . jack , i watched her die . it 's not an image i 'm gon na get out of my head any time soon . jack : it 's a heck of a story , sharon . sharon : all right , look , i - i know that that 's hard to believe . i - i realize that . but if just -- if one person would believe in me -- jack : they would have to overlook a lot of very damning evidence , evidence that says that there 's no way skye could have been out hiking on an evening in hawaii last week . sharon : adam thinks that victor was the one who got skye out of town and set him up for her murder . jack : you 've always been one of victor 's biggest defenders . you believe that ? sharon : i do n't know . but i know that skye did not die the night that fund collapsed , and i know that adam was set up . jack , if even a small part of you cared about that woman , do n't you think you owe it to her to find out what really happened ? that maybe adam was right ? was n't it ? victor : yeah , it was . nikki : it was great to see reed . and noah , my god , for him to cut his trip short with his friends so he could be with his family at christmas ... at that age , believe me , i know what a sacrifice that was , and i really was very impressed by that . victor : yeah . he obviously rearranged his priorities . nikki : did you get the pictures ? victor : no , i do n't think i did . i did n't see anything . nikki : oh . uh , well , you know , i thought i did . maybe i did n't . i 've been rather discombobulated trying to settle in at katherine 's . victor : oh , is that where you 're staying now ? nikki : uh , just temporarily , until i find my own place . victor : well , i think that 's a good idea . you know , if anyone can help you with your recovery , it 's katherine . let 's see if i received any of the pictures . here , let 's check it . nikki : oh , okay . go ahead . chloe : jana seemed fine . i mean , she was a little shaky , but she was fine when you took her home . and now all of a sudden , she 's just forgotten everything ? kevin : yeah . yeah . i mean , i was asking her all these questions in the car on the ride over . chloe : yeah ? like what ? what 'd you ask her ? kevin : um , like what did she remember about last night . only to her , last night is the night that she got kidnapped , and she does n't even remember that . chloe : just the part when you took her to dinner . kevin : yeah , she 's bringing up all these tiny details about the night , you know , stuff that i have n't thought about since then . like , um , there was this torn photo of ryder and daisy as kids , and i had totally forgotten about it . chloe : do you think it 's legit ? kevin : ( sighs ) i have no idea . dr. sachs : uh , if you 'll come inside , i have jana 's test results . kevin : yeah . jana : chloe . what are you doing here at the hospital ? is -- is everything okay ? is -- is -- it 's not chance , is it ? phyllis : so did you -- did you tell summer about daniel ? nick : i told her there was an accident , but i did n't go into a lot of detail . so whenever you 're ready , we can talk to her together , if you 'd like . phyllis : yeah , okay . thank you for , um , for talking to our daughter . thanks for being here . thanks . thank you . thanks ... for understanding . nick : i will always care about daniel ... just like i 'll always care about you . phyllis : ditto . phyllis : he 's gon na be okay , right ? he 'll be okay , right ? ( voice breaking ) right ? nick : he 's gon na be okay . phyllis : ( sobs ) nick : he 's gon na be okay . phyllis : ( sobs ) ( door opens ) ( keys jingle ) jack : hello , adam . adam : you 're about the last person i expected to see here . jack : i ran into sharon at the crimson lights . she seems totally convinced that skye was alive and well and living in hawaii as recently as last week . ( sighs ) adam : she was , thanks to my father who was behind this whole scam . jack : yes , so you 've been saying for some time now . initially , i thought this was just more of your propaganda , but ... if sharon is right , i want to know more . adam : ask away . jack : why do n't you start by telling me your theory ? how did victor mastermind skye 's disappearance and why ? why would he want to do that ? victor : well , thanks for sharing these with me . nikki : everybody looks so happy . victor : yeah . i wish they had continued to be happy after the festivities . they just started up vilifying me again . nikki : well , victor , you did n't exactly extend the warmth after the holiday either . victor : i 'd rather not discuss that , all right ? you know how i feel . nikki : yeah . victor : okay . nikki : listen , um , would it be all right if i came by the ranch from time to time just to ride my horse , visit with segundo ? there 's just a lot of things there that still mean a lot to me . victor : come any time you feel like it . i 'm sure segundo will love to see you . nikki : the ranch is very special to me . i - i do n't think that 'll ever change . victor : yeah . we made a lot of memories there , did n't we ? adam : the hedge fund collapses . skye disappears , and my father , he hops on his jet for a sudden extended business trip . if this does n't reek of collusion -- jack : what about the blood they found in your hotel suite and on the clothes that phyllis and i found ? adam : that was a plant from skye and my dear old dad . now we 're not talking about buckets of blood here . we 're talking about a finite amount of blood . she could have cut herself . this woman would n't have even flinched . jack : why would she go along with a scheme like this ? adam : the fund had just collapsed . she 'd just lost her sterling , genius reputation on wall street . she 'd lost me long before that . there was nothing left for her in genoa city . let 's not forget -- these two , they 've teamed up together in the past . jack : it 's a hell of a stretch . adam : do n't tell me you 've forgotten about how my father took you for millions when he was screwing me over . this is exactly the kind of thing that he would do . ( footsteps approach ) adam : you know it , and -- sharon , what are you doing here ? sharon : ( sighs ) leslie called . she has some news . jack : well , i 'll be on my way . sharon : jack , thank you for coming . jack : you have nothing to thank me for . i did n't do this for you . you 're still on your own . jana : i do n't mean to be rude , but , um , this is a private matter . kevin : um , jana , uh , chloe 's been very sup -- chloe : it 's okay . you know what ? i 'm gon na go wait outside . it 's not a problem . chloe : hey , guys . hi . phyllis : hey . chloe : what 's goin ' on with daniel ? phyllis : uh , the doctor is in with him . there 's not a lot of room in there . chloe : so how is he ? phyllis : uh , he 's still unconscious . nick : but we 're hoping he 's gon na come out of it very soon . chloe : okay . well , all of his friends are praying for him . phyllis : thanks , chloe . how 's jana ? how 's she doing ? chloe : well , that 's why i 'm here . she 's had a setback . jana : so ... what 's going on ? ( sighs ) why do i need all these tests ? dr. sachs : the date is not february 19 , 2010 . it 's 2011 . in fact , we just celebrated a new year . jana : ( scoffs ) uh , i do n't understand . kevin : you 've blocked out a big chunk of time . jana : how can that be ? dr. sachs : well , you suffered an aneurysm sometime back , and then a concussion last night . now i - it 's possible that that triggered this memory lapse . but , uh , well , i ca n't rule out , uh , certain other factors . jana : ( sighs ) kevin : so what happens now ? more tests ? dr. sachs : um , step outside with me . uh , we 'll only be a moment . jana : no , no . please . please do n't go . please do n't go . kevin : uh , i 'm -- i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm just gon na talk to the doctor . i 'll be right back , okay ? okay ? kevin : okay , if i 'm reading you correctly , are you saying that what 's going on might not be physical ? dr. sachs : well , considering all that jana 's been through , it 's not surprising that she 'd regress to a period of time when things were calmer . kevin : before the kidnapping , the whole daisy fiasco . chloe : or the divorce . dr. sachs : i 've consulted with a psychologist on staff , uh , dr . mason , and i have some recommendations . although , i 'm not sure you 're gon na like them . ooo ata gothe ? phyllis : yeah , defi jack : sorry it took me so long . i got waylaid . uh , crimson lights did deliver my order , right ? phyllis : yeah . jack : oh , good . good . phyllis : yeah , definitely . thank you . nick : it was good to get some food in her . you were right . phyllis : ( sighs ) um , i - i 'm gon na go check on daniel . thank you for coming by . nick : if you need anything , call me . phyllis : i will . jack : i 'll be right in , okay ? jack : i , uh , i just came from seeing adam . he is adamant that your father framed him . nick : okay , i 'll bite . what did our evil dad do this time ? jack : victor helped skye fake her death , and then whisked her off in his jet to hawaii where sharon found her before she died . nick : ( chuckles ) that is ridiculous . jack : is it ? nick : yeah , it is . dad and skye could n't stand each other . why would my dad lift a finger to help this woman ? jack : your dad and skye have worked together before in brazil and again when adam was suing everyone . if the price was right , she 'd play along . nick : i 'm sorry . i 'm not buying it . jack : does your father appreciate this kind of loyalty ? nick : do you remember the big storm we had last fall when the tornado wiped out all the power ? well , at some point , dad and skye were trapped in an elevator at newman enterprises . jack : together ? nick : yeah . i was there when the door opened . those two could not get away from each other fast enough . jack : really ? you have surveillance cameras in all of the newman elevators , right ? how far back does your coverage go ? nick : i 'm not sure . but i doubt they were working . remember , there was no power . jack : would you at least look into it ? nick : what is it you think i 'm gon na find ? jack : i do n't know . but what 's the harm in looking ? sharon : jack would n't have wasted his time coming here unless he thought there was something to this . adam : yeah , but he smells blood in the water -- victor 's blood . sometimes that 's all jack abbott needs . sharon : or maybe he -- adam : leslie , hey . sharon said you had some news . did someone see skye ? sharon : did the p.i . find some evidence that -- leslie : look , before you get too excited , word came down from vance . it is n't good . i 'm afraid he 's dropping you as his client . dr. sachs : dr. mason and i believe that jana 's reaction is almost certainly post - traumatic stress . kevin : will she need some therapy ? dr. sachs : uh , yes , uh , but it will be a slow , delicate process . look , we ca n't bombard her with the information that she 's lost at once . chloe : okay , so then just do n't bring up the kidnapping . kevin : what else ? dr. sachs : until jana 's had an evaluation and her therapist can recommend a definitive course of action , i 'm afraid you 're gon na have to humor her . chloe : are you saying that we just -- dr. sachs : treat jana as she perceives the world . kevin : she thinks we 're still married . are you saying i 'm supposed to let her go on believing that ? dr. sachs : for now , yes . chloe : hmm . so nothing spoils this kevin : are you saying i 'm supposed to pretend to be married to jana , doc ? how am i supposed to do that ? dr. sachs : i realize this is asking a lot . but we have to be careful not to overwhelm her . look , whatever information is revealed to jana over time should be at the psychologist 's discretion . chloe : over time ? over time ? how much time are we talking here ? kevin : hours ? days ? weeks ? dr. sachs : we 'll have to play it by ear . excuse me , will you ? i have to check on my patient . chloe : ( scoffs ) kevin : tell me this is n't happening . chloe : i know . we finally get to where we are now , and then -- kevin : and now -- and now this . chloe : i know . it 's really , really , really bad timing . or it 's perfect timing , depending on who you ask . ( sighs ) kevin : ( sighs ) i mean , she 's all alone . she has nobody . i guess i feel some obligation to see her through this . ( sighs ) well , we 've waited this long . we can handle it , right ? chloe : ( sighs ) sure . ( sighs ) jana : how could i have forgotten almost a year of my life ? dr. sachs : i understand . it 's disturbing . but we will get to the bottom of this , okay ? now i 'll have dr . mason 's office set up an appointment . right now , you can go . jana : go where ? dr. sachs : home ... to your husband . jana : ( sighs ) yes . ( chuckles ) oh , my husband . oh , how much i 've missed those words . ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) phyllis : ( sighs ) daniel . daniel . phyllis : ( sobs ) ( voice breaking ) i 'm sorry . ( sighs ) i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . i 'm sorry . phyllis : ( sobbing ) victor : well , thanks again . nikki : um , for what ? the pictures ? victor : no , for not taking no for an answer . nikki : ahh . well , i must admit , every time i pleaded with you to spend christmas with the family , it was kinda like talking to a brick wall . victor : yeah . nevertheless , you insisted that i come , so i 'm glad you did . nikki : i owe you a lot . you saved my life by getting me to rehab when you did . victor : it was something that had to be done . that 's all . nikki : somehow i have a feeling we 'll always look after each other . victor : yep . hope so . nikki : me , too . victor : all right . nikki : okay , um , i will let you get back to work . victor : okay . victor : ( sighs ) leslie : the d.a . is confident he can persuade a jury to convict with the evidence he has . bottom line , vance does n't think he can win . sharon : well , so that 's it ? uh , you just pull the plug ? leslie : well , no one else has come forward saying they saw her . there 's nothing vance can use to his advantage . adam : you all are being paid to find something . leslie : ( sighs ) vance 's win - loss record is more important to him than money . he does n't want the firm associated with a losing proposition . sharon : okay , well , what about my trip and the fact that i saw skye alive ? leslie : ( sighs ) you know , i 'm sorry . you 're in a tough spot . i wish you both the best of luck . sharon : ( sighs ) adam : ( sighs ) sharon : what are we gon na do now ? adam : maybe our last hope . maybe our only hope . sharon : jack . nick : so when the elevator security cam shows that my dad and skye did n't say two words to each other -- jack : it may , in fact , show just that . and i will have wasted your time , but i 'm asking you to do it anyway as a favor to me . nick : ( sighs ) yeah , you 're hoping i will help you get something on my dad . i 'm really looking forward to that . jack : i realize i am putting you in an awkward position , asking you to choose between helping me and protecting your father . look ... nick , i 'm appealing to your sense of decency . skye was no hero . but she was a human being , a woman in the prime of her life , a woman i happened to think a great deal of . and i would like to know who is ultimately responsible for her death . is that too much to ask ? i 'm asking you to look at the tape . nick : it 's not gon na show anything . you need to let this go . jack : nick , if you just -- nick : forget it , jack . at some point , this feud between you two needs to stop . jack : just think about it . think about it . that 's all i 'm asking . nick : trapped in an elevator with skye . lucky you . victor : yeah . indeed . nick : what 'd you talk about ? victor : hardly said a word to each other . nick : ( sighs ) nick : yeah , sherry , it 's me . yeah , i 'll be back in the office in a minute . listen , i need you to do me a favor . i need you to pull the security stills from elevator two the day after the tornado ripped through town . yes . and listen to me . i do n't want anyone else to see this . i do n't want anyone to even know you 're doing it . you understand me ? [ next_on ] `` the young and the restless `` ... ay : how does someone that pregnant not get noticed ? phyllis : unless she 's already had the baby . nick : you and skye hardly said a word to each other , huh , dad ? rafe : i may know somebody who can give me the information . billy : can you put me in contact with this person please ?

( sighs ) i had had too much to drink , and it just all of a sudden got to me -- the noise , and it was so hot . i just had to get out of there . deacon : believe me , i understand . come on , baby , what do you say ? give me a do - over ? nikki : oh , excuse me . i have to see nicholas . hi , sweetheart . nick : hey , mom . what 's going on ? nikki : well , i 'm worried about your sister . nick : why ? what 's wrong with vick ? nikki : oh , you do n't know ? a girl that billy apparently got involved with while he was out of the country showed up on their doorstep . nick : oh , man . nikki : it gets worse . she 's pregnant , and she says billy is the father . [ scene_break ] billy : thank you . so the doctor said that we 'd have the d.n.a . test results today . victoria : good , good . then at least we 'll know . billy : yeah . ( cell phone alert chimes ) billy : ( clears throat ) victoria : oh . uh , the adoption agency wants us to meet with the birth mother . billy : oh , wow , finally . it 's , uh , when ? victoria : early next week . billy : that 's good . victoria : yeah , that 's good . that 's good , but it depends on if chelsea starts broadcasting what she claims happened to her in myanmar . billy : look , honey , regardless of these test results , i 'm gon na get this under control . [ scene_break ] avery : i hope everything 's going well . sharon : it 's been eventful . how are things with you and nick ? avery : uh , we 're not seeing each other anymore . that 's my decision . sharon : oh . excuse me . avery : mm - hmm . sharon : vanilla latte , please , for here . avery : sharon , is that an engagement ring ? sharon : uh ... i 'm still deciding . avery : i did n't know you were serious about anyone . sharon : ( sighs ) it 's from victor . avery : oh . my . that 's ... sharon : i care about victor . he has been incredibly supportive . when he proposed , i told him i would think about it , and i have , but i 'm gon na have to turn him down . [ scene_break ] michael : when you asked me to buy that ring , i was hoping that it was -- victor : you thought it would be for nikki ? michael : well , given the sacrifices you 've made for her , it makes a certain amount of sense . victor : do i need to remind you that she is another man 's wife ? michael : yeah , well , i was hoping that you would try to change her mind about that . it never occurred to me that it was sharon . sharon , really ? victor : mutually beneficial . michael : ( scoffs ) man : mr. baldwin . michael : what 's this ? man : from your client . michael : thanks . victor : i want you to take that to judge waterson immediately .

( sighs ) phyllis : um , and she is parading around town with a rock on her hand the size of cleveland . ( drops binder ) ronan : why would victor want to marry anyone ? what does that accomplish for him ? [ scene_break ] victoria : so , um ... first nick , then adam , and now my father . does it wear you out remembering who you 're supposed to be with , or is manipulating all of the men in my family just such irresistible fun to you ? sharon : ( sighs ) for your information , this is what victor wants . marrying me is all his idea . [ scene_break ] michael : ( sighs ) victor : how 'd it go with the judge ? michael : first , answer me a question -- what exactly was in that letter ? victor : i just reminded the judge that he , uh , swore an oath to uphold justice , and i reminded him of the fact that he owed me a favor . michael : huh . must have been a big one . he cleared his schedule . he said he 'd take care of this immediately . victor : right , so you know what you have to do ? [ scene_break ] nikki : so there 's not really anything anyone can do until the paternity tests come back . nick : vick 's been through so much , and now this , on top of everything else . nikki : oh , well , if you 're talking about that lunacy between your father and sharon -- nick : yeah , what the hell are they thinking ? nikki : well , sharon is thinking about sharon . no surprise there . as far as what 's going on in your father 's mind -- i think that i have a good idea , and i 'm not going to put up with it . deacon : thank you . deacon : maybe nikki has a pen . nikki : ( sighs ) i 'm sorry that took so long . deacon : that 's okay . nikki : is there any coffee ? deacon : i 'm not sure , actually .

( claps hands ) come , come , come . i 'll explain to you in the car . [ scene_break ] victoria : ( sighs ) you know , just when i thought you could n't sink any lower ... victor : if this is about sharon , you can turn around and leave . victoria : your so - called engagement is just purely asinine . it 's ridiculous . but this latest stunt that you pulled with chelsea lawson -- that ... she 's in town . yeah , she 's in town , but you probably know that , since you hired her to come here . but just so you know , these wild accusations that she is throwing around -- they 're not gon na break up me and billy . [ scene_break ] nikki : if you 're still not satisfied that victor 's the killer , i suggest that you look at deacon 's alibi one more time . ronan : and we did , and he was here at work the whole night . nikki : the whole night ? are you sure about that ? because deacon told me he was at the park . and i got gloria to admit that she was upstairs playing on her computer . he could very easily have left here , and nobody knows it . ronan : you told the police that you did n't remember anything about the murder . now i feel like you 're changing your story . maybe you remember being involved . maybe you 're trying to deflect suspicion right now . nikki : no , no , no . maybe i 'm just trying to help you . deacon knows more than he 's saying , i am sure of it . ( cell phone rings ) ronan : hold on a second . excuse me . it 's malloy . yeah , i remember . oh . okay , listen , do n't touch anything . i 'll be right there . okay . all right , good . i 've got ta run . nikki : what ? are you kidding me ? i - i just gave you a major lead . ronan : and i will take it into consideration , but for now , i have to run . nikki : he has to run . hi , it 's me . i need your help . [ scene_break ] victor : do n't you blame me for billy abbott 's mistakes . he left you behind , and he went to a very dangerous part of the world and got involved with the wrong people , because that 's what he does . if i kept you apart , i did that because i did n't want you to get hurt . you got that ? victoria : yeah , dad , i got that . yeah , you know , that 's always your excuse . you just want to protect us . that 's all a big -- victor : victoria , listen to me . if you want to yell at me , yell at me , if it makes you feel better , but your anger should be directed at that useless s.o.b . billy abbott ! [ scene_break ] paul : how are you ? i - i 've been worried . nikki : ( sighs ) i know . i have gotten your messages . i 'm sorry i have n't gotten back to you sooner . paul : okay , so i know it 's none of my business , but you married deacon ? why ? nikki : ( sighs ) paul ... ( sighs ) ( exhales quickly ) paul : i do n't want to know , do i ? nikki : we -- we 'll discuss that another time . right now , i 'm very concerned about something else . i spoke with ronan . i want him to look at deacon 's alibi again , and i do n't think that ronan listened to a word that i said . paul : you think that deacon had something to do with diane 's murder ? nikki : i think he knows more than he 's saying , yes . now you and ronan and i -- we all know that victor 's confession was a lie . now he 's pushing me away again . that 's fine . i will stay away , but i 'm not gon na let him rot in prison the rest of his life . i am going to get to the bottom of this . i will find out what happened and bring that stubborn man home . i do n't care who he marries . paul : what do you mean , `` who he marries `` ? ( cell phone rings ) nikki : i 'm sorry , i have a call . hi , nicholas . what ? oh , my -- how -- i 'll be right there . yes . paul , i am so sorry . um , that was nicholas . he needs me . i 've got ta go . paul : all right . i 'll see what i can find out with ronan . nikki : all right , thank you . paul : all right , see you later . ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] avery : what ? what do you mean , you 're not available ? you 're my intern . ricky : it was a great experience , but i 'm getting a paying gig . avery : i 'll pay you . this is important . ricky : sorry . i - i ca n't this time , but good luck on the case . avery : ricky ? ! ( door opens ) michael : huh , avery . what are you doing here ? avery : i 'm representing nick . i had no idea you were sharon 's lawyer . sharon : thank you very much . bye . nick : is this your doing ? sharon : talk to my lawyer . nick : i 'm talking to you . sharon : i think you said it all when you barged into my house and took faith away . nick : so is this payback ? sharon : i want to be with my child . why is that so impossible for you to understand ? nick : so somehow , you get this emergency hearing . it does n't mean you 're gon na win . sharon : i took out a restraining order against a man who had done nothing wrong because you promised me you would give me more time with faith . now you 've reneged . you 've given me no other option than to take you to court . nick : you did one thing right , just one , and then you turn around and get engaged to our daughter 's grandfather . sharon : oh , i have n't accepted victor 's proposal . nick : yeah , what 's this , huh ? why are you wearing his ring ? sharon : s - stop it , stop it ! nick : huh ? sharon : stop it ! michael : hey , hey . everything okay out here ? sharon : ( sighs ) its fine ! avery : the judge 's clerk just informed us we 're about to start , so ... nick : i 'll be in in a minute . you getting engaged to my father is just another example of how whacked - out you 've been acting lately . maybe you should call your therapist from fairview . it might do you some good . sharon : maybe i will , nick , because i am so sick of you using our daughter to try to control me ! enough ! [ scene_break ] ronan : i mean , it 's an old house . the stair brackets or the carpet rods could have come loose over time . genevieve : okay , if that were the only strange occurrence , but there was new year 's eve and -- and -- and the alarm system , which kept going on and off repeatedly . ronan : right . wh - what did your security company say about that ? genevieve : they confirmed that there 's nothing wrong with the system . jack : did you see any sign that someone loosened the carpet deliberately ? ronan : when you say that , do you mean someone connected to colin ? genevieve : you know how he and his people operate . ronan : i do . now i did n't see anything suspicious , but you know how it is when you 're dealing with professionals . i -- jack : i want to hire you to help us get to the bottom of this . ronan : okay . all right , i 'll see what i can find out . [ scene_break ] billy : i 'm gon na go over to graphics and tell them ... phyllis : yes . billy : what a good job they did , before they go home and put themselves to bed . phyllis : oh , mediocre , mediocre . ( laughs ) billy : hey , hey , hey . ricky : ( clapping hands ) i just heard the good news . phyllis : what news is that ? ricky : that you are back in charge . phyllis : i am . ricky : so , um , when were you gon na call me ? phyllis : um , we were trying to meet a deadline , ricky . ricky : we had a deal , phyllis . where 's my job ? phyllis : okay , okay , relax . billy : hey , hey , hey , hey . ooh . what the hell are you doing here ? phyllis : um , i was just talking to ricky about a job . billy : no way in hell . you 're a weasel , son , and i do n't hire weasels , especially weasels who hack into my web site , so you can go ... ( high - pitched voice ) `` i 'm not a weasel ! `` ( normal voice ) off , somewhere else . get out . ricky : do you want me to tell him who gave me those passwords ? phyllis : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nikki : nicholas . how did this happen ? nick : i 'll give you one guess . nikki : does victoria know ? [ scene_break ] victoria : so i 'm wondering , what 's the going rate to hire someone to break up a marriage ? how much money did you waste bringing chelsea here ? ( cell phone rings ) victoria : ( sighs ) victoria : hey , mom . what 's up ? wow . well , i should have seen that coming . yeah , yeah , i 'll be there as soon as i can . okay , bye . victor : what happened ? victoria : your fiancée is dragging nick into court , so i have to go . nice talking to you , dad . [ scene_break ] judge waterson : so the only change ms. newman is requesting is to reinstate joint custody . michael : that is correct , your honor . nicholas was awarded sole custody when sharon was charged with the killing of skye lockhart . now that she has been cleared , we pray for the court 's relief so that my client does n't have to live at the mercy of her ex - husband 's whims when it comes to visiting their daughter . judge waterson : thank you , mr. baldwin . ms. clark , where does your client stand ? avery : your honor , we ask that the court deny ms. newman 's petition and keep the current arrangement intact . judge waterson : on what grounds ? avery : nick believes very strongly that sharon has failed to demonstrate the necessary stability and decision - making skills required to be a custodial parent . leaving faith in her care or control for any length of time presents an unacceptable risk to the child . [ scene_break ] phyllis : um , i am going to work on billy , okay ? ricky : yeah , you 'd better . i 'll be waiting for your call . harmony : oh , hey . uh , listen , i do n't mean to speak out of place or anything , but what 's the deal with that guy ? phyllis : he wants a job here . i want to hire him . billy does n't . he pulled something on billy billy did n't like , and , you know , he does n't want him to work here . harmony : really ? i would think he 'd be impressed by somebody who could do that . phyllis : hello , i would think so , too . we 're gon na get along just fine . billy : ooh , child , this is gon na piss ... phyllis : um -- billy : a lot of people off . phyllis : um , uh , hey , i want to talk about ricky . i - i just -- i - i think you should really take a look at it , you know ? he -- he has ambition . he has great instincts . he 's a real go - getter . i mean , how many -- how many go - getters do we have ? i mean , half the office is gone . hello , two people . ( sighs ) billy : i do n't trust him . phyllis : i think he 's a very good fit with us . billy : phyllis ? phyllis : yeah , i -- hmm ? billy : phyllis ? shh . phyllis : okay , okay , just hear me out , hear me out , all right ? tho - those -- those pictures that he took of heather kissing adam , remember ? billy : mm - hmm . phyllis : that blew up in our face . it blew up in our face . billy : yeah . phyllis : and -- and , you know , it was his sister . billy : i think you 're trying to make me like the guy . phyllis : yeah , i am trying to make you li -- but this is -- this is my point , this is my point . it was a great story . he knew that . he did n't do anything with the pictures , all right ? he has scruples , and -- listen , i 'm the bad one . i 'm the bad one . i took them off of a desk . i stole 'em . it all blew up in my face . i took hell for it , remember ? billy : that 's right . phyllis : yeah . billy : thank you . thank you for reminding me that i have to watch you every living second . phyllis : okay , well , that 's -- that 's -- no , do n't you -- no need to go -- no need to go there , all right ? no need to go there , all right ? my -- my -- my point is , he is just a very , very good worker , okay ? he 's a good worker . he hacked into your web site . but listen -- what if he had hacked into somebody else 's web site , and then he came to us with the story ? you 'd be high - fiving him . if we do n't hire ricky williams , one of our competitors will . just sayin ' . [ scene_break ] michael : where now is the instability in sharon 's life ? do you see it ? i do n't . i know what nicholas would say . nicholas can not abide that his former wife has anything to do with her other ex - husband , adam newman , for what we admit are some very good reasons . however , nicholas takes it to the extreme . recently , he demanded that sharon obtain a restraining order against adam as a condition for allowing her to visit faith unsupervised . and after sharon complied with his demand , he has now gone back on his word . avery : because of sharon 's impulsive engagement to a self - proclaimed murderer who 's serving hard time in the state penitentiary . now never mind the fact that he 's nick 's father and her child 's grandfather . ( sighs ) your honor , surely this -- this calls to question her soundness of mind . sharon : ( whispering ) if i were the judge and i heard that , i would n't grant me custody , either . michael : um ... [ scene_break ] man : boy , you 're popular today . got another visitor . deacon : hello , victor . [ scene_break ] genevieve : myrna , with all the strange things that have been going on here lately , um , jack and i do n't want to take any chances , so we have hired ronan malloy . he used to work for the police department , and he 's actually on leave from the fbi . myrna : um , hired him -- genevieve : yes , to investigate ... myrna : okay . genevieve : and he will be coming around the house . i want you to do whatever he asks . i 've already told him that he has total access to the entire house and all the grounds . myrna : all right , all right , yeah . jack : if there 's a toolbox out there , it 's well - hidden . myrna : um , excuse me , but i left something on the stove . ( sighs ) genevieve : uh , do n't worry about it . i can always call someone to fix -- jack : i have a better idea . why do n't you get packed ? i want you to move in with me until we have some answers . [ scene_break ] ronan : i heard more than nikki thinks i did . i 'm gon na be checking out deacon . paul : well , um , now that the investigation is closed , i 'm no longer consulting on the case , but , ronan , i agree with you . i do n't think victor did it , either , and i want to work with you to help prove that . ronan : i 'm also doing a little investigating out at genevieve atkinson 's place . there 's been some weird things happening out there . i 'd like your help on that , too . paul : sure , why not ? i always thought we made a pretty good team . [ scene_break ] ricky : that was fast . billy : all right , look , i 'm willing to give you a trial run here , but if you screw up or you screw me again ... ricky : works for me . billy : okay . stop smiling . harmony : hey , the printer 's rep just dropped this off . phyllis : oh , whoa , look at this . billy : well , congratulations , chief . welcome back . phyllis : ( exhales slowly ) yeah . [ scene_break ] deacon : now i know my wife came to visit you new year 's eve , and i also know how much you care about her , so i got ta ask you , do you really think that her coming to a place like this all by herself is the best thing ? 'cause i do n't . victor : you get her sober . maybe then you can figure out what she 's up to . i do n't give a damn . ( knock on door ) [ scene_break ] judge waterson : be seated . there 's no question that sharon newman has demonstrated some troubling behavior in the past . key words -- `` in the past . `` today , in this courtroom , i can only view her decision to remarry as proof that she is serious about staying rooted in the community and being the excellent mother she once was . therefore ... the court rules that custody of the minor child faith newman is to be shared equally between both parents . ( bangs gavel ) [ next_on ] genevieve : the safest thing for me to do is to move in with jack right now . i want you to come with me . chelsea : this baby that i 'm carrying gives me all sorts of rights , actually . nick : you sold yourself to my dad so you can get control of faith .

[ both laugh ] victoria : dad , she knows you too well . victor : she does , indeed . victoria : i do n't even know why you 're bothering . i mean , unless you just enjoy the dance . victor : well , if she wants to dance around this , then , uh ... i have to think of a different angle , do n't i ? victoria : meaning ? me ? you want me to draw information out of ben ? no , dad . no . do not even go there . no . joe : i wanted to deliver these myself . ashley : thank you so much . they 're beautiful . what 's the occasion ? are you trying to woo me over to the dark side ? abby : what dark side ? ashley : a high - rise development that involves razing a city block . abby : oh , so they 're guilt roses . yeah , they do n't smell so sweet now . ashley : abby . joe : more like `` thank you `` flowers for a memorable new year 's eve . ben , right ? we met at the athletic club . stitch : yeah , yeah , that 's right . abby : uh , new year 's eve ? joe : joe clark . you must be abby . abby : yeah , i must be . let 's try this again . new year 's eve ? ashley : joe and i kept each other company . he 's new in town . joe : but your mother and i met years ago in new york . abby : did you now ? and she never mentioned it . joe : you know , i should let you guys get back to work . ashley : oh , yeah . and i guess you need to get back to yours . stitch : yeah , yeah , yeah . your project , right ? joe : i 've seen you at the coffeehouse . you must be friends with mcavoy , right ? stitch : yeah , i am . and you 're the guy leading the charge to flatten crimson lights , right ? abby : wait . that 's where the project is supposed to be ? good luck with that . joe : you know , i 'll save my speech for how we 're creating jobs and reinventing the area . stitch : yeah , and erasing history . you know , but you 'll have to get past mac first , you know , so , fair warning -- wo n't be easy . joe : yeah , so i 've heard . well , it 's always lovely to see you . ashley : you , as well . thank you . okay , anyway , where were we ? we were talking about trying out some fragrances , were n't we ? abby : we were narrowing down a scent for our revolutionary , new fragrance that will drive men crazy , but it looks like someone wo n't need to use it . dylan : you got joe 's number ? avery : i do . and you do n't want it . listen , he 's not gon na reveal the name of his seller . dylan : so he says . avery : it 's not in the best interest of his deal to reveal his client . dylan : yeah , but it 's in the best interest of this town . people do care about crimson lights , and they 're starting to take a stand . avery : i know that , but joe is not the sentimental type . dylan : look , i 've argued with this guy since he came to town . i just need to reason with him . he needs to know that crimson lights is the kind of place that feels like home to a lot of people in this town , maybe even our kids one day . avery : [ sighs ] dylan : i 'll leave that part out . avery : but you 're talking about calling joe , essentially asking for his help . what good can that do ? dylan : what harm can it do ? look , i already promised i 'm not gon na touch the guy again . you 're gon na be right here with me . we 're a team . who can say no to us ? avery : i think we 're about to find out . [ sighs ] sage : it 's not a bluff . it 's in the legal document in your hands . constance 's will states that gabe had to be married in order to receive his inheritance . adam : yeah , a marriage of convenience . is that what it is ? you and goody - goody gabe were running a scam on granny ? sage : you have no clue about the life you stole ! adam : i did n't steal anything ! you handed it to me to protect constance ! now you want to try to cash in by conning me , right ? sage : the way you talk so jaded and vicious , it 's nothing like gabriel . adam : [ laughs ] nothing like gabe . and you 're a poor , naive soul who apparently is n't above blackmail . sage : i 'm not blackmailing you ! i convinced you to honor our agreement . i just spoke your language to do it . adam : yeah , our agreement to protect an elderly , wealthy woman who you apparently loved . now , it seems to me she thought you were this sweet , attentive soul living in the servant 's quarters , not her grandson 's wife . so , you got to forgive me if i 'm not buying into it . sage : okay . it 's in the will . it 's official . adam : yeah , no , i see right here where it says that -- that gabriel had to be married in order to claim his inheritance . this does n't say anything in here about you being his wife . sage : it 's real . we 're married . and , dear husband , do not call me a liar again . billy : why would n't you come to katie 's christening ? you have been there every step of the way . you made her dress . chelsea : christenings are private . billy : yeah , and i 'm her father . chelsea : i 'm stepping back so that you can share the day with katie and her mother , without me . billy : i did n't ask to have it without you . i mean , i want you to -- becca : good afternoon . my name is becca , and i will be serving you today . joe : well , i like this , you calling me for a change . oh . i get it . an ambush . avery : no , it 's not an ambush . i told you i wanted to talk about the project . my client is joining us . dylan : uh , but i 'm not here as a client . [ sighs ] i 'm here as a guy trying to protect a part of this town 's history , protect something that people care about . joe : you know , next time , call me . i do n't have time for this . avery : joe , dylan would like to speak to the seller directly , try to convince him or her not to make the sale . joe : yeah , and how do i get paid if this deal tanks ? dylan : so -- so are you saying for you and the seller , it 's just about making money ? joe : unless i 'm confused about business , yes . dylan : there are other buildings . there 's other blocks in other towns without this kind of history . you can find a new location and still make money . avery : this project , this building , it means too much to too many people . joe , if you 're the man i thought i knew , you 'll tell us who 's behind the sale . victoria : well , the nursery is wonderful . you are the champion of working parents everywhere . victor : is n't it ? i think katie will do just fine here . victoria : i know . victor : i know the feeling . you just want your daughter close to you . victoria : but it feels good to be back , all of the energy and excitement of a new start and a new year . victor : talking about new year 's , reed tells me that ben spent the night . victoria : yeah , he did . he slept on the couch , dad . victor : i see . okay . this getting serious ? victoria : do you like him again now that you know he 's not a killer ? victor : he did n't lie to protect his own skin . he lied to protect his mother . and that , to me , is indicative of a -- of a man . victoria : so then i will not pay him back by spying on him . and whatever ashley is doing at jabot ... victor : i did not say anything like that . victoria : i just know you . victor : but since you brought it up ... victoria : dad . victor : you know ... what ? victoria : it 's because i know you . victor : well , i have someone there , someone else who is doing the spying for me . victoria : who is it ? victor : you would like to know , would n't you ? i 'll tell you when the time is right . victoria : i see . you 're giving me plausible deniability . victor : because you need to devote all of your energy to work and to your family and to your little baby . victoria : wow . you really are on the ben train , are n't you ? victor : well , he is a hell of a step up from that loser billy abbott . billy : if i say to you , chels , i would really like for you to be with me as my daughter reaches this very important milestone -- chelsea : billy , please . billy : why -- why is that not enough for you to want to come with me ? i mean , if privacy is n't the real issue -- chelsea : i just ... i do n't want it to stir up memories . billy : about what ? chelsea : connor 's christening , when victor showed up and adam put the baby in his arms . i - i did n't understand it at the time . billy : victor was blackmailing adam 'cause he knew about dee dee . chelsea : all of the pieces were falling into place . i just did n't see it . and adam and i , we -- we were very happy then , at least i thought we were . and so , looking back , it just -- it tainted everything . billy : and somehow that means you ca n't come to katie 's christening ? chelsea : i am trying not to bring any darkness to your daughter 's special day . billy : that 's not what this is about . chelsea : oh , my god , billy , what are you talking about ? what else could it be about ? you think that i 'm -- becca : would you all like to hear about today 's specials ? adam : [ scoffs ] so this ... has been sitting there in this drawer the whole time for anyone to see ? sage : who would see it ? adam : did constance know that you two were married ? sage : no . i was going to tell her after her health improved . adam : really ? well , you know , you were a little bit late on that one . sage : so it appears . constance did n't want gabriel to float through life like another rich playboy , so she put that stipulation in the will . adam : and gabriel convinced you to go along with the con , hmm ? how 'd he do that ? sage : gabe . gabriel : hmm ? sage : what do you think ? constance 's just gon na open up her vault and send you out in the world to eat , drink , and get lucky ? gabriel : well , i do n't know . a boy can -- can dream , ca n't he ? those are all good things . sage : yes . in moderation . gabriel : money makes things so much easier , does n't it ? sage : hmm . gabriel : i guess i could get a job . [ both laugh ] sage : [ laughing ] can you imagine ? what ? counting cards , as a gigolo ? gabriel : those are both viable options . sage : oh , yeah . then you 'd end up more in debt and be chased by casino security guards and angry husbands . gabriel : details . minor , minor , little details . i do n't worry about that . but this whole marriage thing , it seems so cruel of grandmother , does n't it ? marriage ? sage : totally . i mean , she wants you to be looked after and cared for . ez ! gabriel : as if i know anybody who would want to do that . i know fortune hunters , i know ski bunnies , and i know party girls . maybe i should take out an ad . somebody presentable , boring . think there 's an app for that ? sage : i think we could find a suitable granddaughter - in - law that constance would like . gabriel : hmm . nobody that i know . sage : what about me ? gabriel : what about you ? is that a proposal , miss warner ? sage : say yes , mr. bingham . sage : how did gabriel convince me to marry him ? adam : mm - hmm . sage : he was very persuasive . adam : so , archangel gabriel enlists you to help him get his grubby , little hands on all that bingham money . this guy seems like a real saint . sage : he was a better man than you could ever be . adam : so you keep saying that over and over and over again . but entering a sham marriage just to swindle some money away from your grandmother , that 's pretty devious , is n't it ? hmm ? i mean , unless , of course , that 's -- that 's not what really happened . tell you what . sage , why do n't we try something new here ? sage : like what ? adam : like you telling me the truth . sage : gabriel and i were best friends . we both loved constance . marriage made sense , especially as she got more frail . adam : so , this alleged wedding ... the date . sage : we went to a justice of the peace . he was funny . goofy . like we made a pact in a treehouse . best friends for life . and suddenly , we were husband and wife . when we were driving back home to tell constance the wonderful news , we saw something in the river , a figure , a man , burnt . and gabriel went in to save you . adam : on your wedding day . sage : not even four hours a wife before i became a widow . adam : you were n't really much of a wife , though , were you , if the only reason he married you was to get his grandmother 's money ? sage : he married me for love ! adam : okay . sage : of constance ! adam : okay . all right . great . and you , what 'd you do it for ? sage : i got exactly what i wanted -- money of my own ! adam : what did i tell you about trying to bluff me ? ! billy : just coffee . chelsea : two , please . becca : are you sure ? we have some excellent specials today . chelsea : no , thank you . billy : yeah , we 're good . thanks . chelsea : explain to me how giving you and victoria space , time to spend with your daughter , is somehow an issue for you . billy : because it 's not about me , vick , and the baby . it 's about adam . chelsea : my late husband , who existed . i ca n't erase him , billy . we have had this conversation . billy : i know , and i 'm trying to work on it , okay ? but i 've got to be honest here . chelsea : and i 'm being honest , which is what you asked me to be . so -- so how does this go ? how does this work out , huh ? down the line if i mention something that reminds me of adam , are you gon na get angry every single time ? because i tell you something , that means adam will always be between us -- because of you , not me . ashley : joe is an old friend . abby : oh , an old friend who took you out on the biggest date night of the year and just brought you roses . yeah , i have millions of old friends like that . ashley : okay . let 's get back to work . now we got to try out some fragrances , right ? stitch : yeah , let 's , uh , let 's get back to the lab . what do you say ? ashley : actually , you know what ? i think it might be too sterile there . it 's gon na affect the way the scent distributes . abby : do you want to go in the office ? we could lay them out in there ? ashley : great idea . stitch : okay . hey , uh , because of the competing fragrance , we should probably -- probably lose these roses . ashley : oh . okay . yeah , you 're right . abby : okay , so are we going for what a woman would choose or what men will react to ? ashley : that 's a good question . i think it 's both , actually . because a woman would probably buy it first and then she 'd buy it again if she got the reaction she wanted from the man . and a man would buy it for a woman as a gift , so ... stitch : i had n't thought about it , but it makes sense , you know . when you associate a certain scent with a woman , then , you know , it 's ... abby : oh , like her perfume or her lotion . even what kind of shampoo she uses in the shower . stitch : [ snaps fingers ] let 's do this , huh ? ashley : ooh ! oh , no . stitch : s - sorry . ashley : that 's okay . i 'm gon na try this one . stitch : okay . yeah . ashley : that 's nice , but what do you think ? abby : hmm . let me try that . it 's all right . ashley : this one does nothing for me . stitch : here . abby : try that one . ashley : i love this . i would buy this . it has a lot more depth than the other ones . try that . stitch : let me see that . ashley : what do you think ? abby : oh , wow . that is fabulous . what do you think ? stitch : [ sniffs ] we have our winner . ashley : do you think we found it ? stitch : i think we have . abby : yay ! we are getting somewhere , people . okay , i am gon na go get the marketing team all pumped up . and , uh , yeah , you guys carry on . ashley : okay . i think we 're one step closer . stitch : i think so . ashley : i know . stitch : yeah . ashley : now we just have to study the extraction procedure to see how it affects mass production . stitch : so , those , uh , those roses , you know , they 're something . yeah , must have been quite a new year 's . ashley : how was your new year 's with victoria ? stitch : i mostly , you know , watched the boys . ashley : must have been a handful . stitch : no , it was pretty great , actually . it was good . ashley : i 'm glad . stitch : you know , we both had good nights . you know , different , but good . ashley : abby kind of read a little bit more into mine , actually . stitch : did she ? 'cause i got to say , maybe his personal life is different , but joe clark , he 's a snake who 'd happily try to ruin the best guy i know . joe : you know , i get it . this is an old - fashioned double team . i mean , you hit me with this plea for the community , and you hit me where it hurts . `` the man that you thought you knew . `` avery : it 's not meant to hurt , joe . it 's a reminder that things do n't have to be this way . look , i understand you 're in business . you want to make a profit . but maybe there 's another way . all we 're asking is that we can talk to the seller directly . joe : you 're killing me . dylan : so you 'll give us the name ? joe : look , if i get you in a room , that 's it . it 's on you . avery : of course . joe , thank you . dylan : thank you . joe : no one likes to walk away from this empty - handed . understand ? avery : we understand that . thank you again , joe . joe : meeting has n't happened yet . dylan : but you 'll give it a shot ? joe : i 'll do my best . take care . avery : did that just happen ? dylan : it was kind of obvious he did it to score points with you . avery : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] avery : hold on . avery bailey clark . a follow - up on the chronicle ? yes , my client is available . 30 minutes , crimson lights ? yes , mr. mcavoy will be there . victoria : billy and i are working extremely hard on co - parenting katherine and johnny . victor : and i understand that , okay ? victoria : so , do n't stir up any bad feelings . victor : i wo n't . billy abbott is a sad waste of space . i will try to keep the thoughts to myself , okay ? victoria : thank you . victor : anything else ? victoria : as a matter of fact , yes . i would like for you to clear your schedule for katherine 's christening . victor : oh ! of course . victoria : and obviously billy 's gon na be there . so you 're gon na be on your best behavior , right ? victor : for the sake of the baby , i will try to be on my best behavior . how 's that ? chelsea : we 've been happy . we 've made it through some crazy stuff , but if i ca n't be honest with you , if i ca n't tell you why i do n't feel comfortable going to katie 's christening -- billy : and you did tell me . chelsea : i did , and you got all tense and edgy . billy : which is my problem , okay ? it 's not yours . it 's just i really wanted you there with me at the christening . chelsea : even with my screwed - up feelings ? billy : yeah . you think you can handle it ? chelsea : okay . fine . i 'll go . i can handle it . billy : you know what ? just forget about it . it 's okay . chelsea : oh , my god ! are you seriously pouting now ? billy : no , i 'm not pouting . chelsea : you suddenly do n't want me to go after all that ? billy : look , i love you and i want you with me . chelsea : i love you and i 'll go ! billy : thank you ! chelsea : you 're welcome ! [ laughs ] billy : let 's get out of here . chelsea : oh , i forgot about our coffees . billy : you know what ? we 'll just take the check , please . becca : oh , nothing else for you and your wife ? sage : it 's not a bluff . adam : okay . so i 'm to believe you 're this money - grubbing opportunist -- sage : you can believe whatever you want to believe . adam : i know it 's not about the money for you . sage : i have reasons for doing what i did . adam : and i will uncover every single one of them . maybe it is about the money for you . yeah , you just got tired of being cinderella under the stairs . sage : maybe it was for vengeance , just like you . adam : okay . well , that 's only half of it . and it 's not vengeance . it 's justice . and surely you would n't mind me avenging the suicide of gabriel 's father , right ? sticking it to victor newman for sending him to an early grave ? sage : if it 's what constance wanted , i would n't mind it at all . adam : well , it looks like i 'm not the only predator on the block , so let 's do this . let 's -- let 's -- let 's go through this , hash out all the details , air this thing out . it should be pretty simple , right ? sage : it 's not simple . adam : it is simple . we get a damn divorce . we do it as soon as we possibly can , and we take the inheritance and we split it 50/50 . that 's what people do ! sage : you always think you 're one step ahead , do n't you ? adam : i usually am ! sage : not this time . keep reading . dylan : you want to , uh , come dylan : you want to , uh , come with me for the chronicle interview ? avery : i should work on things from this end , but remember the way you talk about crimson lights , why it matters to you . you get this look in your eye . you get focused , intense . it 's the same look that made me fall in love with you . you get the chronicle to capture that , and you 're unstoppable . dylan : no , we are unstoppable . even joe thinks we make a great team . avery : i do n't know if he said that , but we obviously got to him if he 's willing to set up the meeting . dylan : yeah , i did n't think it would happen . avery : well , he has n't come through for us yet . right now , you go do this interview . it 's important . call me after . dylan : i will . avery : okay . good luck .

[ chuckles ] why are you so jumpy ? avery : i am trying to find out who is the owner of the warehouse - district property . michael : just gon na ask around ? `` good afternoon . are you enjoying your lunch ? do you happen to own a couple of city blocks of underdeveloped real estate ? `` avery : i have a meeting with the mysterious seller . michael : who is he ? avery : i do n't know . michael : you just said you had a meeting with him . avery : i do . it 's arranged by joe . michael : i have n't seen him here . he normally takes care of business down at the end of the bar . avery : right . uh , we 're meeting up in his suite . michael : oh . okay . i 'll go with you . avery : no . why ? michael : i represented joe 's business affairs . i do know both ends of this argument . avery : yeah , and i appreciate that , but , uh , it 's a delicate situation here . i do n't want to scare off the seller . michael : well , he 's a businessman . he 's not a scared rabbit . avery : well , joe was a little jumpy on the phone , so , uh , i just -- i think it 's best if i play by his rules on this one . michael : all the more reason i should join you . avery : i -- it 's so preliminary right now . i may need your help later if i file an injunction , but this is -- michael : i do n't like him . i do n't trust him . you alone up in his suite ? avery : oh , god . michael : what ? his rules ? no witnesses ? i do n't like it . avery : okay , well , i can handle joe clark . i was married to the man . he 's a snake oil salesman , but he 's harmless . michael : all right , fine . i 'm sure you can handle any situation . but for the record , i do n't like it . avery : noted . thank you . you 're like the big brother i never had . michael : yeah , the one my brother never wanted . avery : [ sighs ] listen , i do appreciate it . i 'll be fine . i 'll see you back at the office . michael : see you . avery : oh , uh ... can -- can we not mention this meeting to dylan ? michael : yeah , 'cause that 's what i do ? i tell dylan everything ? avery : well , your first reaction was to be protective ? times that by a hundred . michael : fine . i wo n't tell dylan . avery : it 's just , uh , he has a hard time listening to reason where joe 's concerned . so , can we just keep this between us ? michael : yeah , okay . we 'll keep it between us . avery : thank you . michael : we all have our little secrets . chelsea : we 're not married . billy : we 're just together . chelsea : but he 's not my husband . billy : right . becca : i 'm so sorry . i 'll be right back with your check . chelsea : oh , my god . she thinks you 're my illicit lover . billy : which is hot . very hot . chelsea : hmm . maybe we should , uh , get a suite here so we can really play the part . billy : yeah . yeah , we -- we could do that . chelsea : what 's wrong ? billy : [ sighs ] it 's just that she could tell that we were involved . chelsea : yes , because she could just feel the hot , sexy , intense heat between us . billy : and because it looks like we 're cheating because of that . abby : i want real , actual details about what happened on new year 's eve , because those flowers are telling me that i do n't know the full story . ashley : guess what ? i do n't know the full story of what happened on your new year 's eve , either . abby : okay , well , um , my date only spoke a handful of phrases in english , and one of them was not `` abby , you are so beautiful and smart and sexy . let 's take this to the next level . `` and i ended up getting kissed by a cop at midnight that i barely knew . ashley : i 'm sorry ? abby : actually , it was n't that bad . but that was my night , so i want to hear about your night and how you earned those dozen roses . ashley : earned ? did you really just say `` earned `` ? you 're kidding me , right ? abby : i did n't mean it like that . [ both laugh ] ashley : i had a date with a friend . abby : mm - hmm . ashley : that 's it . abby : yeah , joe clark . and stitch did n't seem too happy about that interruption , which is strange because he 's seeing victoria . do n't you think ? ashley : he 's intense about making sure our project is a success , as am i . abby : yeah , you can use proper english , mom , and still be covering . ashley : and you can go kiss your policeman again . abby : [ chuckles ] ashley : i 'm gon na go take these back to the lab . abby : ooh , or you could take them over to joe 's , test them out , thank him for the flowers . ashley : or you could take them back to the lab for me . excuse me . and i 'm gon na go home . abby : as in conversation over . ashley : exactly . abby : mm - hmm . ashley : love you . abby : love you . ashley : mean it . abby : [ laughs ] [ door closes ] stitch : that 's huge . a follow - up interview ? dylan : yeah . stitch : that 's amazing , man . should i , uh , wave a `` save crimson lights `` poster in the background ? dylan : [ laughs ] well , no . maybe just act like a normal person and say what this place really means to you . stitch : how about i tell the writer that joe clark should take his project elsewhere ? guy 's too slick , man . come on . that smile , i can guarantee that guy practices that in the mirror every day . dylan : i hear you . trust me . but there might be an actual human being inside that suit . stitch : hmm , i doubt that . dylan : he agreed to try to set up a meeting with the owner of these properties so we can discuss not selling . stitch : ah , that 's just to make him look good in front of his ex . come on , man . it 's still a sly move . dylan : i know , i know . and avery knows , too . but you know what ? i 'll take it . stitch : yeah ? so you can ship him back to chicago ? dylan : once this deal 's off the table , there 's nothing for him here . the sooner that guy leaves , the better . joe : come in . sorry for such short notice . avery : well , dylan would have been much more effective talking to the seller , but we really need that chronicle follow - up , and it was the only time they could meet . how long before the client gets here ? joe : actually , it 's gon na be just you and me . [ door locks ] victor : well , look at that . victoria : yep . victor : how is my granddaughter 's first day at work ? victoria : well , the nurse says that she has top - notch napping skills . victor : you know how nice it is to be able to pop in and just look at that beautiful face ? victoria : yeah . that 's your grandfather 's weakness , you know . his grandchildren . he 's a big softie . but we 're gon na keep that to ourselves . victor : you better keep that to yourself , okay ? keep that a secret . victoria : so , i 'll see you at the christening . on your best behavior . victor : of course , you will . and now that you 're no longer romantically involved with billy boy abbott , i may even shake his hand , you know . victoria : no . no physical contact . and i never said that he was out of my life . victor : what ? ! victoria : dad , we 're not ... victor : what ? victoria : ... romantically involved , but we have katherine and johnny , and reed adores him , and that 's not changing . victor : all right . as long as you 're not seriously involved with that guy anymore , i 'll be all right . victoria : billy and i have both moved on . chelsea : how did we go from `` let 's go home and get crazy `` to i 'm still wearing a ring ? billy : the same way we got to talking about my tattoo the other day . it 's there right in front of our faces . chelsea : it 's not like the rings are new . why is this an issue now ? billy : i do n't know . maybe because we were distracted before by katie and the holidays . but now we have plenty of time to talk about the big , shiny thing that 's sitting right in front of us . chelsea : what is there to say ? billy : the obvious . if you are over adam , then why are you still wearing his ring ? adam : no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no . this is n't real . sage : constance knew gabriel always took the easy way out . she was n't gon na let him do that with something this important . she wanted a commitment . the marriage had to last . adam : three years ? ! i ca n't be married to you for three years ! i already have a wife ! sage : you have a widow ! your name is gabriel bingham . and since we both want this money , we have to be married until the end of three years . adam : i am alive , sage ! i am not your dead husband / best buddy gabriel ! sage : okay , fine . excuse me . why do n't you call your wife and tell her you 'd like to come home ?

[ computer keys clacking ] kevin : i got something . noah : i was upset . i - i was n't paying attention , and i just wanted to get out of there . and there was a car that was parked in front of me , so i - i just got in my car , i backed up , and i just took off . but billy was behind me . he was behind me . if i had just been paying attention , i would have noticed that billy was behind me . victor : do n't say another word right now . noah : but billy is in there because of me . victor : listen to me . you know why he 's in there ? he 's in there because he 's a gambler . he 's an inveterate gambler and an alcoholic , and he gambled to the point where he owes people money . they came to collect the debt . that 's what happened , okay ? nothing to do with you . the cops are gon na think that the same people ran him over . you will not take responsibility for this . please listen to me . noah : so i say nothing ? victor : no . noah : how am i supposed to do that ? what -- what about victoria ? billy is the father to her children . she loves him . i need to tell her the truth . she should know the truth . victor : [ sighs ] no , she must not know the truth right now , okay ? victoria : this ca n't be happening . nikki : it 's okay . let the doctor do his job . it 's okay . barton : 300 ! clear ! victoria : oh , dear god . he ca n't die . no , he ca n't die . barton : give me 360 . ashley : come on , billy . barton : stay with us , mr. abbott . again ! clear ! victoria : [ sobs ] chelsea : billy has to make it . katie and johnny , they -- they need their father . and billy , he -- he is a great dad . i mean , i - i hope you understand . like , the time i spent with him , he was great with connor . he was . adam : no , you know , i can appreciate the fact that he was good to you , good to connor . i can . chelsea : yeah . i just -- i kind of still feel bad about how things ended , you know .

[ sobs ] victor : noah is just very upset about what happened , okay ? he 's very worried about billy and victoria and , you know , that 's why he 's here . that 's why we 're all here . we 're here to be together as a family ... and to protect our loved ones from as much pain as possible . nikki : well , should something happen to billy , victoria 's gon na need every bit of strength that we can give her . noah : yeah , yeah , i , uh , i was -- i was just praying that billy 's okay . nikki : i know you are . we all are . victoria needs us . i think we should join her . victor : uh , noah needs to come to work with me , okay ?

come on . sit down . our future , you know ? because our dreams are about to come true . marisa : your dreams . and if they involve adam newman , i 'm not so sure -- luca : look , maybe you 'll think differently when you hear our plan . marisa : i thought you did n't want to share . luca : i know you can keep a secret . adam and i are going to dethrone our fathers , oust them from their c.e.o . chairs . look , it wo n't be long before i 'm running my father 's company and adam newman is running newman enterprises . marisa : you ca n't do that . adam -- he will betray us all . jack : jill , we 're all upset . we 're on edge . our nerves are sharp . let 's not use them against each other . jill : do n't do this . do n't try to neaten this all up . this is messy . life is messy . billy 's life is messy . yes , every once in a while , he 'll shine , wo n't he , but it never lasts . do you know why ? it 's because of how all of you treat him , just waiting for him to fail , just expecting the worst . how could he do anything else but lower himself to your expectations ? nikki : jill , that is not fair . jill : oh , fair . you should talk about fair with the way your husband has treated him . how many times has billy been under victor 's boot , hurting him and humiliating him and trying to destroy him ? and where were you ? faithfully standing beside your husband ... when you were n't slamming vodka on the sly . nikki : how dare you ? victoria : there 's no need to attack my mother . jill : and you . you . you 're no better . how many millions of times have you told me how much you loved my son ? and then trouble comes and where are you ? you just kick him out . victoria : that 's not true . jill : it is true , honey . you 're a daddy 's girl . you blindly do whatever victor says . you always , always choose your father over the man you profess to love . victoria : i do love billy . jill : yeah , when it 's convenient , you love him . how about when he was grieving for delia , okay ? when did you decide -- when exactly did you decide that his grief was just too hard for you to take , huh ? he needed you . he needed you to understand . he needed you to stick to your vows of better or worse . and where were you ? you were kicking him out and divorcing him . jack : jill , jill , it is more complicated than that , and you know it . jill : god . and you . you -- he loves you so much . he 's always admired you so much and trusted you . and what did you do with that trust , huh ? you did n't tell him that adam newman was back in town . jack : i was trying to help him , trying to protect him . jill : he trusted you , and you chose adam over him ! the man who killed billy 's daughter , the man who 's walking around free , while my son is in there hooked up to machines ! ohh ! traci : jill , i 'm so , so sorry . and i know you 're so upset . but you have to believe me . we love our brother ! we all do ! jill : traci , where were you when jack fired him , when he would n't give him another chance , when he wanted to get back on his feet ? where were you ? ! you were caught up in your life in new york , were n't you ? and you , the other sister , what did you do for him ? i 'll tell you what . nothing . just tough love . all of you -- tough love . it just made it okay for you to all turn your backs on him . well , your sanctimonious tough love has landed him in there ! congratulations ! nikki : jill , i am sorry to tell you this , but the reason that billy is where he is , is because he owed a bookie a lot of money . jill : oh , my god . you perfect people . you perfect people ! you unblemished people . thank you so much for taking time out of your day to come over here and wring your hands over a man who you would n't let be who he could be ! [ sobs ] phyllis : we love him . we love him . and maybe we have not made all the right choices , and maybe we have blamed him too many times , but we love him and we know how much he loves victoria and his children . and we know his heart . we know his heart and his struggles and how he has tried so hard , and we have -- we are here for him now . we are here for him now , and we will always be here for him , okay ? jill : oh , my god , i hate this . phyllis : i know . jill : oh , my god . i hate this so much . i hate feeling so helpless . i want to hurt somebody . i want to blame somebody . [ sobbing ] oh . marisa : jack told me all about adam newman before i even came to town . you 're playing with fire . luca : look , if it means i can take over my family 's company and finally show my father what i think of him , i can -- i can take the heat . marisa : you want to expose your family 's business dealings . it 'll be dangerous , luca . luca : i do n't care . you know my father , what he did to us . i 've hated him for so long . look , this is my chance to make things right . marisa : unless adam brings you down first . luca : trust me . i know exactly what adam newman is capable of . i can make this work . marisa : [ sighs ] adam : all right , good . good , good , good . you 're already here . um , get a word with you , luca ? marisa : [ sighs ] luca : yeah , of course . adam : great . all right . excuse us . marisa : [ sighs ] adam : so , what do you say ? you ready to move forward with this plan ? luca : i need time . adam : you need mo -- [ chuckling ] you need more time . well , the clock is ticking , man . luca : look , i have some evidence , but i need time to collect what 's needed to guarantee my father 's arrest , okay ? what about you ? do you have enough dirt to bring down the great victor newman ? adam : are you kidding me ? victor newman 's skeletons have skeletons , and i know them all . luca : okay , then why wait ? make the first move , my friend . pull the trigger on victor . adam : [ sighs ] paul : so , gil , i assume you know why you 're here . gil : 'cause i 'm a concerned citizen , trying to help my local law enforcement officers bring truth , justice , and the american way to genoa city . paul : yeah . that 's the spirit . so , um , do you know billy abbott ? so , you do n't know billy abbott ? gil : well , i know a lot of people . paul : [ chuckles ] you 're gon na stick with that answer ? gil : well , it 's the truth . you want me to list all the people i know ? paul : i got a list for you . billy abbott 's text messages ... to and from a cell phone . all dealing with a very large gambling debt . gil : sounds like this billy guy 's got a real problem . paul : you know what ? he 's not the only one . because the guy on the other end would be implicated in billy 's assault and hit - and - run . but you know what the problem is here , gil ? it was all sent on a burner phone , and they are nearly impossible to trace . gil : yeah , sounds like a real dead end . paul : yeah . maybe . [ cell phone chimes ] paul : oh . sounds like you got a text . kevin : do n't bother to check it . i 'll tell you what it says . `` busted . `` barton : billy 's heart has returned to a normal sinus rhythm . but he 's still unconscious . and given the trauma to the brain stem and other injuries , he 's still not out of the woods yet . ashley : but there 's hope . jack : can we see him ? barton : one at a time . two at the most . nikki : all right , i 'm gon na make a few calls just to let people know that he 's made it this far . jack : nikki , nikki , you said it was billy 's bookie that did this to him . is that true ? nikki : jack , all i can tell you is that 's what victor 's source told him . barton : i assume you 're the next of kin ? if so , i 'll need your approval for surgery . jill : no . she gave up any right to make decisions for my son 's care . i will sign whatever consent forms you need me to sign . [ footsteps approach ] victoria : [ sobbing ] chelsea : it 's okay . ashley : you 've got to fight . you 've got johnny and katie , and they need you . you have to raise them . they 're gon na need you for a long , long time . you missed a beautiful wedding . abby 's all grown up and married . i 'm so proud of her . she 's such a strong , amazing , young woman . i 'm a little worried about her , though , you know , because even though she 's strong ... i do n't know how she 's gon na handle it if i do n't make it . i mean , jack i know will be wonderful , but you know jackie . he 's all buttoned up and starched and pressed and ... [ voice breaking ] your mom was right . your life has been messy . but it 's -- it 's given you such a big heart , billy . and abby needs that . she needs to know your perspective on life , because you understand the ups and downs and the bumps and the bruises and the peaks and the valleys of what life can be , and she 's -- she 's gon na need that . she 's gon na need your heart , billy . everybody in this family needs your heart . this is just not right because i 'm the one that 's supposed to die . not you . traci : [ gasps ] why would you say that ? ashley : i was just talking . traci : about dying ? ashley : no . billy 's our little brother . he 's not supposed to go first . it does n't work that way . traci : well , ashley , i do n't want to lose either one of you . and unfortunately , sometimes the youngest do go first . ashley : oh , god . i 'm so sorry . colleen . god . traci : [ sniffles ] ashley : sorry . traci : i wake up every single day , and i ca n't believe my little girl is gone . but billy has dad 's fight , and he 's gon na be just fine . are n't you , kid ? because we need you up out of that bed and back on your feet . ashley : yeah . traci : there are so many people counting on you . [ sniffles ] and that crazy grin . [ chuckles ] [ sniffles ] and i do n't mean just katie and johnny . [ knock on door ] jack : hey , we were hoping for a moment . ashley : yeah . traci : [ sniffles ] [ sniffles ] i love you , kid . [ sniffles ] [ door closes ] jack : i 'm sorry , billy . you asked for help . i should have given it to you . you ... you 're my brother . instead i ... oh , i judged you and made you feel like less than a man for asking . all you wanted was a new start , a chance to prove yourself , to know that i believed in you . and i let you down in every possible way . i do believe in you . i believe in your strength and your spirit ... and your kindness and your generosity . but you 've got to come back to us . and i will stand by your side , little brother , now and forever . victoria : i really thought that billy had forgiven adam and himself for delia 's death . and when he had done that , i thought the worst was over , and i was so proud of him . but then there was the appeal and adam was released , and he just went to that place again . i should have seen it . i should have done something . i should have done something . chelsea : it 's just that he 's -- he 's taken so many hits for so long , many of which i am responsible for , so you can not blame yourself for this . you ca n't . victoria : when the people who love you ca n't help you , what chance do you have ? chelsea : billy has had a lot of chances . and he has a lot of people who love him . especially you . victoria : all i know is that billy better recover . he better get better so that i can forgive him . and then maybe he can forgive me . victor : i know what happened at the garage , and so do you . if you use that information to hurt my grandson , you 'll have to deal with me . marisa : victor , we want the same thing -- for noah to be okay . that 's why i lied to the police . victor : tread carefully , okay ? luca : i 'm as impatient as you are to take what we deserve , so why wait ? an anonymous tip to the fbi and victor newman is one step closer to a prison cell . adam : yeah , except the deal was that we fire at the same time or there is no deal , so , you know . luca : as agreed , then . i 'll let you know when i have enough information to move forward . victor : move forward on what ? gil : i 'm telling you , you 've got the wrong guy . paul : you know what , gil ? billy abbott is lying in a hospital bed . he may not make it . but we 've got you . so there 's no way out . it 's either the truth or jail . so what do you think of those odds ? you know , i 'm thinking you might want to start talking . gil : look , we might have had a little ... exchange . but roughing the guy up is bad business . paul : so you did n't give the guy a beating ? gil : i did n't use the guy as a speed bump , that 's for sure . paul : so , kevin , what was the dollar amount in those texts ? kevin : $ 200,000 . paul : $ 200,000 ? kevin : that 's a big chunk of change , gil . paul : so you expect me to believe that after your `` exchange , `` you just walked away and left billy abbott ? gil : no damage of the vehicular kind was inflicted . paul : so you wo n't mind if we check your car ? gil : go for it . you 'll get nothing . marisa : i 'm glad your grandfather convinced you to do the right thing . noah : no . no , there 's nothing right about this . marisa : it was the only choice . noah : you know , i got to say , it 's a little weird , you and my grandfather on the same page . marisa : [ sighs ] yeah . we both want what 's best for you . noah : okay , well , i 'm not doing this for me or my grandfather . i 'm doing this for victoria . [ scoffs ] a newman hit an abbott again ? another hit - and - run . i 'm not adding to my aunt 's pain , not while billy 's fighting for his life . marisa : well , chief williams is determined to find the driver of that car . you 'll need to cover your tracks . noah : [ scoffs ] i would n't even know how to do that . marisa : so let me help you . adam : moving forward with the , uh , south american mining deal . luca has some ideas about some new acquisitions in the region i think we should move forward with . victor : really ? adam : yeah . victor : luca , when we first spoke , you knew nothing about the business , so have you done your research ? luca : i think you 'll be impressed . victor : well , i think i 'll be the judge of that . adam : great . so we 're all good here . victor : uh , adam . adam : yeah ? victor : this is my office . adam : yeah . victor : okay ? if you want to conduct business in the future , do it elsewhere . victoria : how 's billy ? phyllis : he 's hanging in there . jill : i just talked to barton . um , he told me that they need to relieve the pressure on billy 's brain . but he has to be stable before they can do that . jack : and when will that happen ? jill : in a day or two . phyllis : so , do we just wait ? jill : i asked him to be straight with me . and , uh ... he told me that billy has a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery . victoria : stay with us . please . you know you 've beaten the odds before . [ voice breaking ] i know you can do it again . look , i know you 've made mistakes . i 've made mistakes . everybody does . it does n't matter . the only thing that matters ... is your son and daughter need you . [ sobs ] [ sniffles ] so please come back to me , billy . please come back . for johnny and for katherine and for me , please come back . [ sobs ] [ sighs ] it 's you and me , billy . forever and ever . amen . [ sobs ] victor : all right , we have a business to run . let 's get to it . i want the facts and figures on those potential mining acquisitions . luca : i 'll get them . victor : all right . so you two are getting along pretty well . how 's it going ? adam : better than expected , actually . believe me when i tell you luca and the santoris will be out of our lives before they know what hit them and newman enterprises will be exactly where it belongs -- in the hands of the man that deserves to run it . victor : [ chuckles ] paul : okay . kevin : so , what did we find out ? is gil the bookie headed to the slammer ? paul : well , he may not be off the hook with other charges . kevin : like beating the crap out of billy . paul : but he was n't lying . there was no damage to his car , no blood . and his tires did n't even come close to matching the tread marks we found in the garage . kevin : i 'm on it . paul : get me all makes and models that were sold with tires matching those treads . we 're gon na nail the scum who did this . marisa : police will be looking to match the tire tracks , so we need to swap out your tires quietly . pay cash . get rid of the evidence . no match . you were never there . it was an accident , noah . you 're still a good man . noah : yeah , i 'm sure that 's what every criminal tells himself . marisa : hey , i know you . i know you . i know who you are . i know your heart . you 're a good man . and i will do whatever i can to help you get through this . noah : if we get caught ... marisa : we wo n't . chelsea : miss katie is still sleeping , but look who we have here . mama 's here . yeah . victoria : [ sighs ] that kiss was from your dad . he loves you very much , and he 's gon na see you really soon , okay ? i love you . jack : i 'd like to say a prayer . god , i know i do n't check in with you as often as i should , but ... we need your help . our brother billy has fought so hard in this life against grief , against guilt , against demons , and he 's fought for love and understanding . [ sniffles ] and forgiveness . he 's fought for everything he believes in . he 's lost so much in his life . but he has so much to live for . people who love him , people who need him , people who want to put their arms around him [ voice breaking ] and wrap him in their love . [ monitor beeping ] [ next_on ] abby : it seems like you two are getting pretty close . ashley : i suppose . dr. neville : billy is the perfect candidate for my protocol . victoria : do you think this method would work ? paul : why would billy place such a huge bet ? why would it be so important for him to win big ? why now ?

the last thing that i want to do is upset you . devon : you 've been here waiting ? hilary : of course i 'm here . with you . always . what 's wrong ? are you in pain ? should i call a doctor ? devon : no . mnh - mnh . they said that i wrecked a car . hilary : yeah , the car from the auction . devon : the auction that you were gon na host ? hilary : the auction that i -- i did host , babe . you were there . devon : i was ? i do n't remember that . hilary : none of it ? devon : i think i remember getting ready for it . hilary : [ sighs ] oh , my god . devon : i do n't know what happened , but i 'm just so grateful that you were n't in the car with me . if something would have happened to you ... gloria : well , i guess it must be kismet . you and i both gravitating back to chelsea 's studio . we had so much fun there before . chloe : we did . we had some really good times . and then you blew out of town . and chelsea by jabot went to newman , and then not , and then back , and ... then not again . and now it 's chelsea 2.0 . i mean , you just missed so much , gloria . gloria : yeah , but i was here in my heart with my sons and the important work we did with chelsea . kevin : how very important . gloria : i wore our designs all over the riviera . chloe : how lovely . gloria : and i am ready to go back to my position . chloe : your position is gone since you worked at chelsea by jabot , so ... and i think that was , what , three lifetimes ago ? gloria : the company may change names , but the job remains the same . chloe : yeah , that is true . but sharon mcavoy has your job now , so ... gloria : what ? ! sharon ? when did that happen ? oh , i know -- after she got out of the locked ward . ha , ha ! is that the tie that binds you two -- kevin : gloria ! gloria : no offense ! chloe : oh , none taken . gloria : sharon 's pretty . so am i. i have brains , i have creativity , i am a thinker . i have vision . chloe : which is why i have no doubt that some lucky company is going to snatch you up , and then , you do n't have to worry about dealing with some sorry interloper who has been foisting someone else 's child onto your son , and with that , i really need to get back to work . and i love you . i 'll see you at home , and .... goodbye ! `` you . `` gloria : petty , vindictive , little ... kevin : oh , yeah , it 's all about chloe , not about you getting digs in every two seconds . gloria : i said `` no offense . `` and why did n't you defend me when i needed you ? kevin : because most of what you say is indefensible , mom . and chloe 's right . the position 's filled . move on . gloria : well , that does n't mean they ca n't take me back , and maybe with a promotion . i could supervise sharon and make she does everything up to my standards . kevin : or maybe they 'll just hand the whole company over to you . gloria : mm . you 're being facetious . kevin : sure , but if we 're talking about imaginary jobs , mom , why not reach for the stars ? gloria : oh , shut up , now you 're being cruel . kevin : why do you even want to work ? you finally dumped jeffrey . go travel . see the world without that miserable skunk of a husband . gloria : oh , would n't that be lovely ? but i ca n't even afford a bus ticket , kevin . that miserable skunk left me dead broke . phyllis : hey , you . nick : hey , what 's up ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i need a beer . you got one ? nick : well , i mean , this is a bar . phyllis : aww . oh , be serious . nick : of course . phyllis : did you get the text messages from your daughter ? the newman heiress ? nick : yeah ! yeah , she 's got some kind of life . she is stuck in belize . the atm has eaten her card . i 've been trying to call her all day . phyllis : well , i wired her some money . i was afraid if victor found out , he 'd just airdrop like a stack of hundreds at her resort . nick : okay . so she 's still in belize having fun , and now she has your money . way to keep it real , mom . phyllis : oh , shut it . nick : what 's been going on with you ? phyllis : mm , i 'm peachy . i walked away from jack , and , um , you know , i 'm not begging anymore , i 'm not waiting for someone to pat me on the head . [ sighs ] i finally quit jabot . i 'm working at fenmore 's now with lauren . nick : [ laughing ] wow . getting the band back together ? just the two of you against the world ? phyllis : feels that way . nick : smart move . phyllis : is it ? working for your best friend who 's married to your other best friend ? nick : so not a smart move ? phyllis : i 'm just saying i ca n't blow this . at all . ever . ev - er . no pressure . chloe : hey , so , since we do n't live together anymore and we did n't work over the holidays and we have n't had endless random talks about absolutely nothing ... chelsea : is this going somewhere ? chloe : [ singsong ] i know something that you do n't sharon : sounds good . chelsea : i 'm not so sure . does it ? chloe : have you talked to your father lately ? chelsea : this is about jeffrey ? what 'd he do now ? chloe : he got dumped . by gloria . chelsea : no ! no ! this means he 'll want to sleep on my couch ! chloe : no , he wo n't , because gloria got custody of genoa city and she 's staying at michael and lauren 's , and she thinks that she can get her job back . sharon : um , is n't that my job ? chloe : yes , and you manage to do your job without insulting me every five minutes . sharon : i do my best . chelsea : gloria loves you . why would she be insulting you ? chloe : [ sighs ] well , because i 'm the bitch that broke kevin 's heart , and i came back to town with a baby who is n't his . i mean , yes , she 's not wrong , but she could take it down a notch . sharon : i 'm sorry to change the subject , but is my job safe here ? chloe : yes ! yes . it is safe . is it padlock safe . sharon : okay , good , because i just needed to know because i need to stay busy right now . chelsea : totally . i mean , i find that work really comes in handy when your personal life is feeling less predictable . sharon : oh , that 's so true . so true . chelsea : i got to ask you , are you and dylan okay ? sharon : why does everyone keep asking me that ? yes ! we 're fine ! we 're perfect ! stitch : not much longer , okay ? hilary : okay . thank you . here . devon : i was in a helicopter ? hilary : yeah , they -- they had to airlift you . devon : why was i so far away ? hilary : uh , you know , i do n't -- i do n't know . you left the benefit . maybe you just wanted to take your new car for a spin . hilary : i waited at home for you . i tried calling you , but ... you never came . i was so worried . devon : honey , i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry to put you through this and make you worry . please forgive me for it . lily : hey . neil : hey . devon : hey , guys . neil : how are you , my man ? devon : hey , dad . lily . lily : we were so worried about you . devon : i was stupid . lily : no , do n't say that . devon : this never should have happened . lily : that 's true . devon : i 'm just sorry that i made you guys worry and made you scared about me . i 'm very lucky to have you and my beautiful wife . lily : what did you tell him ? devon : what did she tell me about what ? hilary : devon does n't remember anything about the accident . lily : you remember the benefit , right ? devon : [ groans ] hilary : are you okay ? devon : yep . hilary : okay , no , see , i knew that this would be too much for him . devon : i 'm okay . neil : all right , all right . you need to rest . you got to get some sleep . we are here . we love you . devon : love you , too . neil : i love you . devon : i love you . thank , dad . neil : you 'll be all right . come on . lily : did you see the way he was looking up at her ? like she was some sort of angel . that is not the way that he was looking at her on new year 's eve . hilary : your brother just survived a car crash and major surgery . we should be thanking god right now . lily : yeah , i bet you 're thanking god that he does n't remember anything . makes me sick , and it would make him sick if he knew it . neil : just stop it ! we should be coming together as a family right now , not arguing and fighting . he needs to be calm , and if this is what it takes ... lily : what about when his memory comes back and he realizes it 's all just another lie ? hilary : what lie , lily ? that i love devon , that he loves me ? that 's the truth . you just ca n't stand it . lily : [ scoffs ] gloria : that creep , that cad , that -- that stuff that oozes out from under a garbage can ... kevin : yes , mom , i 'm shocked that jeffrey let you down . but really ? all the money is gone ? gloria : every last dime of the gloworm insurance money . first of all , that stupid race horse , and then the schmoozing and the spending and the gambling ... oh , kevin , so many parties ... but , you know , i 've been poor before . and i have been brought low . and a lot of people have tried to count me out . but i will pick myself up again . that means i need a job . kevin : or we could just take jeffrey to court . gloria : oh , believe me , i tried it -- dead end . kevin : okay , i 'll talk to chloe , maybe chelsea ... gloria : no . no . no . i do n't want to go any place i 'm not wanted . kevin : since when ? gloria : i need a change of scenery , kevin . i need new horizons . i have so much i could offer an employer . so much . so i am gon na knock down doors , i am gon na take names , and i am gon na start cashing paychecks again . nick : you know , you and lauren teaming up -- that 's big . and not a little scary . in the best way possible . phyllis : i 'm gon na put that in a press release . `` not a little scary , but in the best way possible . `` nick : you are a good person to have in someone 's corner . phyllis : that is not a unanimous opinion right now , but i am gon na take it . nick : you 're a good friend , phyllis , and that matters . a lot . phyllis : oh , it does . you know , family 's got to put up with you , but friends , they do it willingly , and that boggles my mind . nick : yep . so when it comes along , you can not blow it . that 's what chelsea and i are gon na do , we 're not gon na blow it . phyllis : well , that came out of nowhere . someone 's on your mind . why do n't you tell me more ? nick : on my mind . as friends . phyllis : oh . mm - hmm . [ coughing ] liar . [ coughs ] nick : [ sighs ] there was a moment . phyllis : oh , did this moment involve you two ... nick : no . no . we did not do that . phyllis : but you got close . and you wanted to . nick : [ sighs ] phyllis : and maybe you still do ? nick : we put the brakes on . we both agreed getting into bed for the wrong reasons is a bad idea . phyllis : i wish i would have learned that lesson earlier . nick : i just ca n't handle any more complications , you know ? everything 's so crazy , and a romance is the furthest thing from my mind , and i just do n't want to let loneliness or grief make me do anything stupid . phyllis : he said to the woman he had an affair with after his daughter died . nick : hey , come on . i mean , we fell in love . pretty hard . phyllis : that is my point . just be vigilant , you know ? you got to be alert because ... loneliness can creep up on you and club you over the head . and you wo n't see it coming . sharon : sorry , i did n't ask if you all wanted something . chloe : we -- we want to apologize if it sounded like we think that you and dylan are having problems . chelsea : we do n't . we do n't think that . and it 's not our place to intrude , so ... chloe : but what the two of you went through , you know , is really rough , and it 's hard to bounce back from something like that . sharon : yeah . it was overwhelming . but , you know , dylan and i are , we 're really strong as a couple . because i did n't think we would make it this far , and we have . chelsea : you said as a couple , but what about individually ? i 'm sorry , i am intruding , but i care about dylan , and i 've hurt him so much in the past with connor , and i just wanted to see how he was doing . sharon : dylan copes by focusing on work , by focusing on solving problems that he can solve . broken things that he can fix . chloe : yeah , but that 's a good thing , right ? i mean , it 's not spinning out like last time . sharon : yeah . dylan 's not spinning out . no one has to worry about that . you know , christian has been with nick for over two months now , and dylan has been calm and brave and wonderful . no one has to worry he 's gon na snap . he just needs to take some time , take whatever time he needs , and i owe him that . lauren : james , our fathers would be so thrilled that -- oh . yes , of course i understand . i 'll see you at the club . bye . gloria : working from home today , lauren ? lauren : oh . yes . less distractions . gloria : [ chuckles ] lauren : usually . gloria : really ? that 's a problem at work ? [ sighs ] people getting in the way ? interrupting ? well , maybe you need a , um ... a gatekeeper . someone to turn them away so you can focus on being fenmore 's fearless leader . lauren : hmm . that would be nice . gloria : then i accept . lauren : uh , i 'm sorry ? gloria : no , no , no , no , no ! it would only be one of my many duties . i have experience in so many different areas , lauren . my résumé is endless . i mean , really . and i am so ready to put it all to work and use . come on , lauren . you know that i need work to feel fulfilled . lauren : you know , that is such a sweet offer ... gloria : mm - hmm . lauren : ... and i really , really appreciate it , you know , but we 're all fully staffed . and i do n't believe in mixing work and family . gloria : oh , come on , that 's silly . you run your family 's business . [ cell phone rings ] lauren : excuse me . [ sighs ] miles . yes . thanks so much for calling me back . neil : you need to let this go , for all of our sakes . your brother 's alive and he 's getting better , and that 's all we want . you know ? that fear that we 've been feeling for the past couple of days , that pit - in - your - stomach fear -- i do n't ever want to feel that again . hilary : neil 's right , lily . and i am devon 's wife . so i 'm not gon na let you put his recovery in jeopardy . lily : you should really thank me , 'cause if i do this now , then it gives you time to slink off and lick your wounds . hilary : i am not gon na let you run your mouth and upset my husband . neil : here we go again . stitch : what 's going on ? neil : uh , devon , he does n't remember the accident or the events that led up to it . stitch : well , he 's had some head trauma . memory loss is n't unusual . lily : will his memories come back ? stitch : i do n't know . it 's too early to say . devon lost control of his car on an icy road . he was driving too fast . i have n't told him that . lily : yeah , but there 's a reason that happened . stitch : i have a patient who needs time to recover . do not stress him out . do not go in there and tell him whatever it is you think he should know . all he needs right now is support , and anything else could set back his recovery . we understood ? lily : yes . neil : yeah . stitch : thank you . neil : they understand . [ next_on ] gloria : how long 's this been going on ? does anybody else know ? like , for instance , your husband ? lily : devon is deliriously happy . mariah : happy ? lily : no recollection of anything leading up to the accident . neil : do n't think that you 're gon na get away with any of this . regular stuff like that and we could have been exposed .
