As all watch and whimper, Traci informs DR Snyder that she's decided to take Colleen off life support. Told to take all the time she needs to say good bye, Traci blubbers - how can I do that to my only child?
The Fab Four and Gloria are at CL's - bickering over what to do with the Terroni. Jana insists it be returned to the museum, while Amber and Daniel want to exchange it for Amber's freedom. Glo also wants to give it to Deacon - but for cold hard cash. The Fisher's aren't even in agreement. Jana offers Glo their share of the reward - but Kevin plans to use his share for Ryder's defense. And when Amber then tells Glo that Deacon's scamming her, Glo threatens arrest for impersonating her - until Kevin warns she'll never see him - or her future grand kids.
Leaning on JT, Vikki updates Nick that Victor's heart pump is a temporary fix - without a heart transplant, he won't last a week. Meanwhile, Nikki assures Victor that they'll get him a new heart (even if she has to go to the wizard herself to get it).
As the arguing at CL's continues, Daniel gets a call from Cane (as per Lily) - then informs all that Colleen's been declared brain dead. Kevin's on his way. And when Glo talks about how John's beloved granddaughter stood up for Kevin, he blurts out - I almost killed her - and she forgave me. As the Fab Four head out, Glo stays to make a call - we need to have a little chat.
Back in Colleen's room, the family files out to leave Lily with her BFF. Asked to stay, Cane listens as Lily talks aloud - what am I gonna do without you? Who will I tell my secrets and fears to? It's always been you. Blah blah blah - I wish you peace. It's not the end for us. We'll ALWAYS be best friends. Lily will fight like Colleen told her to - and do enough living for both of them.
Waiting for Deacon at the club's restaurant, Gloria's celebrating with champagne - and now knows her bad boy partner can get a lot more for the Terroni than he claimed. She'll tell Deacon where it is - for 25 million. Settling on 5 million, Glo admits that the Fab Four beat her to the bank (and assumes they took the painting to the hospital). After Deacon exits, Jeff comes along to wonder what 'sweet cheeks' is up to - rendezvousing with another man?
The F4 express condolences to Billy (and hear that the Connelly's are at the chapel). Still in with Colleen, Lily wraps it up by vowing to take care of her Mom (and hers will take care of Colleen). Daniel comes in to say a few words to Lily about her and Colleen's tight friendship (and is sorry he can't hug her). I love you, Lily goes back to kiss Colleen - then is lead out by Cane. Now alone with Colleen, Amber looks suitably sad as Daniel sits to say a few words to Colleen - including reference of their 'hook up' for a 'hot minute'. I'm gonna miss you kid.
In Victor's room, the DR tells Nikki and the kids that Victor's heart is deteriorating. He'll go on the organ waiting list once the 'criteria' is met. Nick's impatient and frustrated - he's dying - what other criteria IS there? Once the DR leaves, Nikki promises Victor that they won't let him down.
In the chapel, Abby whines about all the people she's loved - and lost. What if Victor dies too? What will it do to her Mom? Abby's heart hurts so much. Billy's sorry - but people you love die. And despite their pain now, neither would give up their time with Colleen. She was neck and neck for 'best niece', Billy manages to elicit a chuckle.
The Connelly's greet the Fisher's - of course it's OK that they're there. Traci knows Colleen came to consider Kevin a friend. Kevin speaks of forgiveness - Colleen's kindness changed his life. Yes, they'd like time alone with her. And now it's Jana who stands by as Kevin offers an emotional apology to the girl who had every right to hate him. I owe you so much. We both do, Jana chimes in. Kevin promises Colleen that she'll never regret giving him a second chance. Meanwhile, in the lounge, Amber and Daniel discuss mortality. And as they hug, Deacon slithers in with a sarcastic smile that says 'awwwww'.
Deacon Sharp's an art dealer whom Gloria's helping with a little 'project'. Cause you're such an art expert? Jeff cackles - you can barely colour between the lines. His curiosity is piqued, however, when Glo informs there's money in it (it's better than a sharp stick in the eye). He cackles some more when Glo decides to order better champagne and lobster smothered with caviar - on Deacon's account.
Finding Deacon badgering Daniel for the Terroni, Kevin's indignant to find him there - while their friend is dying. Deacon's just there to remind that the clock's ticking. As the F4 realize Gloria told him, Deacon threatens to have Ryder recant his confession (Daniel will go to jail - and what happens to Amber... well ... that can be left to the imagination). And as voices are raised, DR Snyder comes to ask the foursome to leave (while not pegged as one of the troublemakers) Deacon's left to mutter - tick tock.
As Vikki and Nikki fuss over Victor, JT goes to call the sitter. When Victor weakly asks if it'll take a long time to find a heart, Nick assures they'll make it happen (just like he would).
Now home, Lily whines to Cane about thinking SHE would be the one to die (and how Colleen would handle it). What WILL Lily do without her best friend? Cane knows he can't replace Colleen - but will always be there for Lily. She now talks about her dream - it felt so real. Hugging Colleen, Lily could feel how wet her clothes were. She had something important and life changing to tell me - I'd beat the cancer and hold my own baby.
In the lounge, JT updates Vikki that Reed's been fussy with the sitter. Since he hasn't seen either of them in days, Vikki thinks JT should go see him. Yes, she'll call if anything changes. When JT goes to get his keys, Deacon saunters over to ask about Victor. Vikki thanks him for his concern - and is somewhat surprised by his compassion. There's probably a lot about me you don't know, Deacon smiles. Getting on the elevator, JT stares at the pair.
Nick finds Nikki praying in the chapel. Oh, HE'S listening, she's sure. Nikki then apologizes to Nick for being out of touch when they needed her - and relays that it was Paul who told her about Victor bringing Patty to town. Both are trying to come to terms with what's occurred - and that it was all set in motion by Victor (to avenge Jack) - though both are sure he never meant for it to get so out of control. Nikki also understand Nick's anger the night the kids confronted him - she's spent most of her life either wanting to kill Victor - or being unable to live without him. Nikki shares another realization -someone's gonna have to die in order for Victor to live - another family will lose someone THEY love (as much as we love your father).
Jeff dabs the butter off Glo's face - that was delicious. She's in no rush to get home to the dark and freezing penthouse. How about another bottle to ward off the cold? (on Deacon's account of course). Jeff's still suspicious of whatever's going on between Glo and Deacon (so will be watching her). You say the most romantic things, Glo purrs.
The morose 4 mope at CL - it's so weird - Colleen's gone, but not gone. All would want the 'plug' pulled (if in CC's position). Nobody's happy to see Deacon (even though he comes in peace - and is sorry about their friend). I'm not a bad guy, he claims. Nope - he can't 'leave them alone' - but he WILL give them more time to get the Terroni (as long as it's the REAL one). Of course he'll take their word for it and not have it checked out - we're good like that, right?
Cane hands Lily her scrapbook stuff - why? He's gonna help her finish it. Lily doesn't see the point now. Cane would like to hear all about Colleen. They'll call the book 'The Adventures of Colleen and Lily'. You can show it to your kids - they'll know all about their Aunt Colleen, and how special she was.
The Connelly's, Billy and Abby are now in Colleen's room - talking about all the friends who've come to see her. When Abby snaps at him, Steve accepts her apology - everyone's nerves are on edge. I'm not ready yet, Traci wails when DR Snyder's arrives - but she's there to say Colleen signed her driver's license as an organ donor. She's otherwise young and healthy. As next of kin, the decision lies with Traci.
Victor's family make jokes about him being a control freak - and can't wait til he's back to bossing them around. The DR comes to say Victor's officially on the list (along with another 100,000 people). Sorry - there's no guarantees. Worried, the trio turn to look at the sleeping Victor.
Next: Traci talks to Jack through her tears - The minute I sign that document I'll lose my darling girl forever ... Sharon staggers into the hallway - someone help me! I think my baby's coming! .. Adam tells DR Taylor - I haven't sweated blood all these months just to have this fall apart. You may not have a choice, DR Taylor warns. I'm not gonna give up, Adam vows with determination.
My Thoughts: Having been with Lily for several years now, how is it that Cane knows absolutely nothing about her best friend? ... Victor Newman's only on the 'National' transplant list? Don't they know who he is? The Great Man should be on some 'World wide' transplant list - surely there's an impoverished family in some third world country who'd jump at the chance to exchange the heart of their deceased for a few million rupees ..... Lily shouldn't put too much 'faith' in Colleen's prediction of her holding her own child. Visions of dead girls don't always come to fruition - just ask Sharon .... Why would Gloria 'assume' the kids took the Terroni to the hospital with them? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to hide a stolen 50 million dollar masterpiece in a safe spot? Hiding it within a wall makes a lot more sense than Amber walking around with it in her boot .... Why did Cane react when Lily took off her mask to kiss Colleen? She's obviously been scrubbed down ... Nice that Vikki acknowledges that Reed hasn't seen either of his parents in 'days' - but it's more like weeks. Who was watching the poor kid when both Mommy and Daddy were off cheating? ... What if Victor dies too? Abby snivels - well, you inherit enough money to buy a whole stable of Olympic horses ... Odd that Noah's still nowhere to be found ... It's been mentioned a few times that Victor's condition has been reported in the news - but why not Colleen's? Isn't she almost as famous (infamous) thanks to Viewclick - plus, isn't she a Jabot model? ... Kevin's a 'better man' for having known Colleen? You mean he'd be an even bigger creep if he hadn't? Broken even more laws? ... Diners at the club are able to order anything they desire - and just put it on someone's 'tab'? If so, why would the Bardwell's stop at a bottle of champagne and a lobster dinner? Why not rent a room at Deacon's expense too (since the penthouse is so dark and 'freezing'). Not sure why it's freezing - just yesterday, the Chancellor group were all poolside, drinking iced tea in summer attire. And Jeff's right about candle light being 'romantic' (I'm sure soft lighting is much more flattering to the Bardwell's) ... Why is Nikki so sure God's listening to her? He's been totally ignoring Traci (who's gotta be ranked higher than Nikki on the 'sin list') ... Oh yeah Traci - sooo many friends have come to visit Colleen - but funny that no former coworkers or college pals would stop by. Instead, Colleen's visited by the couple who tried to kill her (the Fisher's) a girl she hated (Amber) and the guy (Daniel) who used her as a booty call in a bid to get over his soul mate ...Have a great weekend everyone.
