Friday, March 3rd

Lauren returns to the table to again apologize to Victor and express her gratitude. He understands and with a kiss in parting will update them if there’s any news. Lauren’s left to fret to Mike (who assures her that Victor wasn’t offended)

Sharon announces that she’s thinking of enrolling in some courses at GCU and is taking Faith to see the campus. Nick needs to talk to her first. Sharon squirms as Nikki makes a point of being glad to hear that Nick was able to pick up his evening with Chelsea. She then leaves Sharon to suggest to Nick that they set Faith straight together. On cue, Faith joins her parents (expecting to be in trouble)

Jill folds up the cheque instead of ripping it up. Collin admits he saw an opportunity, then blames Billy (for sending him to the thrift store – where he found Kay’s music box and the key) Jill thinks it sad that Collin still thinks it’s about money. Whatever was in that lockbox was worth more than money (and was left to HER by Kay) What was it and how the hell are you going to get it back???

Faith’s sorry she messed with her Dad’s date. He accepts and hopes she knows why it was wrong. Sharon adds that Faith should never lie about medical emergencies and Nick points out that it wasn’t fair to Chelsea. When Faith states that her Mom’s alone and so’s her Dad, Sharon corrects; he’s not alone and I’m fine – we should be happy that Nick has Chelsea. After Nick leaves takes Christian to the kitchen, Faith asks her Mom if they can make a stop before GCU.

Beneath Kay’s portrait, Collin tells Jill about the ring. Did it occur to you for one moment that this ring might mean something to me? History and closure? she wails – anything but a scheme to save your pathetic ass? Phillip had wanted to surprise me with that ring but died before he could give it to me! Kay kept it out of spite. That ring would have changed everything – Jill would never have married Collin.




At the office, Nikki and Victor listen to Kevin, the cell connection cutting in and out before cutting off. Nikki can’t believe he made it to the hideout only to find Scotty had been moved. Victor and Nikki empathize with what Lauren’s going through (thinking of when Vikki was kidnapped)

Back at the club, Lauren recalls Scotty being kidnapped as a baby. I promised never to let it happen again. It was HIS decision to go, Mike points out. Victor calls – come to my office. We have to go! jumping up, Lauren’s glass shatters on the floor.

Still at the ranch, Nick has Christian in his lap as he calls Chelsea. He talked to Faith and things went well. Hanging up when her doorbell rings, a surprised Chelsea lets Sharon and Faith in. I owe you an apology, Faith bleats meekly.

Get out! Jill shouts – and lists the reasons Collin should have known the ring was important. Phillip Chancellor was the love of my life – and he adored me. Reading Kay’s letter brought back all of Jill’s grief. And now she finds out about this ring that Collin sold – to repay the money he stole from her. No! Jill’s destiny does NOT lay with Collin. Get out! Giving him the cheque, she demands he bring her the ring.

Lauren (with Mike) is ecstatic to look at Victor’s laptop and see Scott with Kevin – he’s eager to come home.
