Monday, August 13th

Kyle puts a song on the jukebox and listens to Summer whine some more about her Dad remarrying Sharon. They broke up just a few weeks ago – Nick even spent a night away from the house, Summer gripes. A lightbulb goes off over Kyle’s head – wait, what night did Nick not sleep at home???

In robes, Victor and Nikki emerge from the drawn curtains to thank their masseuses. That’s the most romantic thing you’ve done for me in a long time, Nikki gushes. Victor has more in store; the chef’s making all her favourites. No occasion ¬kiss¬ and Victor’s not ‘spoiling’ Nikki, he’s helping her relax. JT’s caused them all stress. He’s out there somewhere – how can you know he won’t come back? Nikki has a gut feeling ¬hug¬

On the CL’s patio, Nate insists Vikki speak with him for a few minutes. No, not about your parents – about you.

Downstairs in the dining room, Nikki and Victor toast to their continued good health. Nikki’s distracted wishing that she could protect her family from anything bad. She thinks Nate a good doctor. Yes, but Nikki’s love is what’s really healed Victor. Nikki agrees – everything’s better with Victor.






Vikki’s main stress is worrying about her Mother’s health (no offense to Dr Nate) He can see she’s carrying a lot of emotional baggage. How do you know that? Vikki’s taken aback. I’m good, Nate offers free advice – holding things in can cause all sorts of damage. Sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong never helps, Vikki responds and exits.

Cane finally finds Lily on the rooftop. She just wants to be alone – I can’t do this now. Mattie and Charlie arrive (after some ‘twin time’) You can count on us, we won’t do anything stupid or selfish, Charlie vows. Mattie adds – we can deal with anything as long as we stick together. Cane agrees – we need to stick together (he hugs Lily)

Back at CL’s, Kyle pressures Summer – Nick spent the night somewhere other than Sharons …. Yeah, so? OHHHHH Summer goes on her phone. OMG – my Mom hooked up with my Dad, Summer’s blown away.
