Adam assumes Luca’s pissed at Noah for stealing Marisa. He’s a hothead – but no longer wants to nail Victor. Even if Noah HAS backed out of his plan, it was HIS idea. Victor would still be pissed. Red rose in her hand, Chelsea walks into the office to dismiss Luca. Nice shoes, he comments as he exits.

Neil words hard to convince a suspicious Jack that he’s not drinking. Watching from the staircase, Devon’s also suspicious (while he seems just fine to Hilary) Jack’s with him – he’s the best one to help Neil. Give him some space, she lures Devon upstairs.

Hilary massages Devon’s shoulders. He doesn’t think it a great idea. She does – remember how great we are – together. We can have it again. Devon reminds Hilary that she was sure she didn’t love him, and now she’s sure she does? Listen to your heart, and to mine (she places his hand on her chest) ~kiss~

Jack’s glad to hear Neil speaking so passionately about the research project. It gets him out of bed in the morning. When Phyllis comes over, Neil makes a graceful exit. Jack hopes he’s as OK as he wants me to think he is. You’re mine now, Phyllis wants to celebrate ~kiss~ Jack also wonders what she was talking about with Victor’s ‘latest conquest’.

All Luca knows is blackmail. It’s interesting, Adam blathers on … Chelsea drops her coat – in red lingerie, she doesn’t find it interesting at all. Not another word about business. Adam agrees ~kiss~

It appears that Luca’s slipping a note beneath her door when Summer gets off the elevator. Both seem to find it a nice surprise.





Letting Luca in, Summer’s flattered, but she has a boyfriend. He’s working in New York, Work should never get in the way of love, Luca says. As Summer’s boss, he’s there to celebrate her new job. No, it’s not a date. OK, Summer giggles – embarrassed. Luca does think it wrong that she’s alone on Valentine’s – so let’s have some champagne.

Never going home is a big sacrifice, so Marisa will do whatever she can to make Noah happy ~kiss~ He then puts a shell necklace around her neck ~kiss~

And now an incredibly cheesy 2 split screen of Devon and Hilary, Chelsea and Adam. Marisa and Noah making out.

Neville’s sure Ben won’t figure out it’s not Ashley’s blood – that vial of blood sure came in handy. Abby barges in to scold her Mom. Ben then returns and asks for a moment alone with Ashley. In the hallway, Abby blames her pallor on shrimp puffs (and exits to vomit) Back in Ashley’s room, Ben delivers shocking news – you’re pregnant.

Back at the club, Jack reassures Phyllis that Summer’s smart – she’ll see her Grandpa’s motives. You’ll always be there for her. Phyllis decides it’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and raises her glass – to the man I love – who never holds me back, even when I dance too close to the edge ~kiss~

Summer and Luca clink champagne flutes. He bets she’s Grandpa’s favorite. No, he loves us equally. Kyle? He’s an Abbott, so yeah. Ah, from the same circle as hell as the Santori’s. No, not that bad, she apologizes (clearly tipsy as her glass is topped up) How’s work going? Luca hears about Summer overseeing Passkey – a top secret technology thing. Her duties? To keep an eye on her genius/roomie. On cue, Natalie returns to be introduced to Luca (whom she promptly gets rid of to grill Summer – what did you say to him? Too much, Summer admits.
