No way will Adam get outta here (the club) - he and his new wife are while Sharon can't believe Adam is Victor's son. He means nothing to me, Victor snarls - and won't give him any attention. Staring down the happy couple, Sharon can't believe Adam's audacity. Arriving, Nick joins in to stare at the newlyweds (who are at the bar celebrating).
At the boutique, Lauren's approving Jeremy Scott's designs - practical, wearable and affordable. Yes, it's an exclusive contract. Jeremy's dressed a lot of celebs - but always dreamt of selling designs for Fenmore's. They admire a wall mounted photo of the wonderful Neil Fenmore - he seems like a wonderful man. Yes, he does, Lauren all but sighs.
Jill and Cane gaze through the nursery window - at the twins. Jill Fenmore - has a nice ring huh? No, Jill's not 'moving a little too quickly' - Lauren can't ignore that Jill's her sister. In her hospital gown, Lily joins them to admire her babies.
Still at the arcade, Vikki stammers about Billy's photos - in which he kinda said 'I love you' too. Billy changes the topic - yes, he IS kinda insensitive. As Vikki walks away to answer a call, Billy calls Jill (for an update on Lily - who all are worried about). Requesting the phone be passed on to Cane, Billy just might have an idea to cheer Lily up.
Cane informs Lily that they're leaving GCM - for a surprise. The twins will be fine for an hour - Neil's coming. Let's go.
Sending Skye to check on their table, Adam approaches Nick - you gonna congratulate me? I got married. Now BOTH of us will have to cheat on our wives to be with Sharon (who then comes between the two to referee - walk away). As Nick does just that, Sharon scolds Adam (who claims he loves her). He and his wife have an 'understanding'. But when Skye comes to announce their table's ready, Sharon notes her attitude (then walks off).
As Adam processes Sharon's comment, Nikki approaches Skye - death becomes you. Who was that poor unsuspecting body in the stables anyway? Skye has no idea - she left town - Chow was scum. You two deserve each other, is Nikki's parting comment. Enter Billy and Vikki (who's quickly updated that yes, Adam's free on bail - and married). Gathering at the bar, Billy deflects Nick's insult - and goes to grab a table. Calm down, Sharon again cautions Nick (compete with arm rub). All but dragging Sharon back to the table Nikki knows exactly what she's doing - and it's gotta stop.
The arcade sees more traffic. Surprise! Lily opens her eyes to a party in her honour. Devon, Roxy, JT and Mac all babble about pizza and challenge one another to games. Lily's impressed - but what about germs? Cane has hand sterilizer and wipes ~hug~
On a floor plan of the boutique, Lauren shows Jeremy where and how his designs will be showcased. Excusing herself, Lauren reluctantly lets Jill in (who's excited to see THE Jeremy Scott). Lauren can barely contain her anger - as Jill introduces herself as Jill Fenmore - Neil's other daughter.
Back at the club, Billy accosts Skye Lockheart - or is it Newman? How does she like being back in GC? Small town - small people - and he can print that in his small magazine.
Nikki hisses about Nick hoping to reconcile with Phyllis. And Sharon already IS 'standing in his way' - without even realizing it (by involving herself in his life). Calling it a night, Sharon clips clops off to her suite (Adam's eyes on her ass). Since Nick refuses to be run out of the club - as does Adam, Victor announces to the room that Adam's a liar - a kidnapper - who killed someone right in this building - because of Pomerance's incompetence he's free. Deny service to this man - in your stores and cafes. Show the DA that we want justice to prevail in this town, Victor campaigns.
Sharon wheels Faith's stroller into the club - can Nick watch her for the night? She can't be 'here' (or answer Nick's questions). I'm NOT your friend, she corrects - leaving Vikki to wonder what she's missed (while making eyes at 'Boy Blunder'). Yeah? Well Vikki can't blame Phyllis for leaving Nick (who rolls his eyes and sighs).
Back at the arcade, the competition (and game sterilizing) continues. Who knew disinfecting could be so much fun, Lily laughs - and won't they be amazing parents ~kiss~ Aside, JT comforts Mac (who can't hide her depression).
Picking up the floor plan, Jill thinks it all wrong. Showcase Jeremy at the front of the store? No, no - that strategy doesn't work. Walking Jeremy to the door, Lauren assures him that her 'sister' won't be a problem. What the hell do you think you're doing!? Lauren returns to bluster.
As the gang have a blast playing arcade games, JT finds Mac pouting in the photo booth. She really wanted to be at the party for Lily - but her heart's not in it (which she also feels badly for). JT thinks her entitled to feel sad - angry - confused - no one thought it's be easy to give the twins away. What if it's impossible? Mac insists JT take her to see the twins (so tells the Ashby's that he's taking the tired Mac home). Lily thanks Cane - but where's Jill? Who can believe she and Lauren are sisters?
When Lauren blasts Jill for butting into her meeting with a high profile designer, Jill reminds that she used to be CEO of CI. She has years of advertising experience. Lauren doesn't want Jill as a business partner - a friend - and sure as hell not as a sister!
At the club's bar, Vikki confronts Nick on his feelings for Sharon (that have nothing to do with sharing history and kids). Find Nick Newman, Vikki advises - and find out who he should be with.
Sharon's not really sure why she's at church - it's been a long time. Cautiously stepping into the confessional (as suggested by the Priest), Sharon begins talking (as a suspicious man slips in to fiddle with the display of candles).
Kneeling before the candles, the man listens as Sharon's asks the Father for help with her feelings for a man she's tried to shut out. She just can't stop wanting to be with him - help me decide what's right.
Vikki greatly appreciates Billy not being a jackass in front of her family. Billy has a room key - and no restraint. Her parents? Let them get their own room - let's go - bring the pig, Vikki marches out. This is gonna be FUN, Billy chuckles (grabbing the large stuffed animal as he goes).
Told he must leave the club, Adam can't possibly imagine which other patrons are complaining about being 'uncomfortable'. It's our wedding night - let's go, Skye concedes. Getting a phone call, Adam bolts - he married Skye - but that's ALL he owes her.
JT and Mac stare in at the twins (who represent life - and hope). But why does Mac feel cheated (not grateful). JT blames it on hormones. Mac wants Lily to have a happy life - raise her kids - but what about the hole SHE can't fill. She's seen such suffering - and never fell apart - but why can't she comfort herself? ~sob~
Back at the arcade, the Ashby's are ready to go. Lily looks forward to bringing the kids - the girls will beat the boys - girl power all the way. Cane obediently promises it'll be that way (except for the boys losing). C'mon - let's go.
Seconds later, the Ashby's are hovering over the twins (still talking of the girls beating the boys at arcade games). Charlie smiled, Cane insists - cause Mommy's getting better. Maybe it IS a smile, Lily beams.
Meanwhile, JT and Mac are now on the CL's patio - and as JT goes for tea, a devastated Mac holds her empty belly.
Clearly still annoyed, Lauren packs up to leave the boutique. In tears, she eyes the photo of her father. Damn you! she cries (as she throws the crumpled up floor plan at the photo).
Having summoned her lawyer to CL's, Jill informs that she's ready to proceed with her lawsuit - to claim her half of the family estate. Good - cause the lawyer's found something in Neil's will that she'll find very interesting.
Billy and Vikki are kissing and removing clothes as they come through the suite door (to sax music of course).
No, there's nothing Victor can do to fix things between Nick and Phyllis - but thanks Dad. As Nikki's already wheeled Faith out, Nick's left to chide Adam's lonesome bride - why would a groom leave his bride on their honeymoon night?
Her confession over, Sharon's now praying in the front pew. Hearing a door close, she turns to find Adam.
Next: At CL's, Daniel announces that he's decided to take Abby up on her offer - to paint 'the Naked Heiress' ... Thank you for listening, Phyllis is in Jack's arms (which makes it easier for her to initiate a kiss) ... Nick's now with Sharon and Adam in the church. I bet it was just killing you - knowing she was in a hotel in Brazil - with ME, Adam claims.
My Thoughts: With the entire length of the bar empty, why on earth would Skye sidle up to Nick? ... There's nothing Cane would rather do than 'beat these two hot dogs'? Really - who writes this stuff? .... What the hell IS Jill talking about? There's no evidence that window displays sell products? You mean there hasn't been any costly government (taxpayer funded) research studies to prove it? And when exactly did Jill get all her 'advertising and marketing' experience? Did John give her that in the divorce settlement - or did it come with the CEO job her pseudo Mommy handed her? ... Unless Neil Fenmore's will specifically states that half his estate should go to any unrecognized or illegitimate offspring, I wouldn't expect Jill to get anything from the Fenmore estate - and since Neil's been dead for decades, surely Lauren can argue that SHE'S responsible for making the chain of stores the cash cow they are today. Perhaps Mike can offer to pay Jill half of what they were worth 20 years ago. As entertaining as it is to see Lauren and Jill butting heads, it'll be even more fun when Lauren's mother comes to town. Joanna can barely muster maternal feelings towards the daughter she gave birth to - she won't feel any sympathy towards her husband's oops (even if it WAS before she snared Neil) ... Victor claims he doesn't want to give Adam any attention - THEN goes out of his way to command the attention of the entire restaurant - to diss Adam ... Victor sent Abby and her 'video recorder' home? Wasn't she just recording it on her cell phone? And if Alan's the producer of a tabloid show, why wouldn't HE have stuck around - or sent someone over to cover this potential story? .... A Walmart shopper myself, I'm not sure if Jeremy Scott's a real designer (of 'one legged pants') - hard to imagine Lady Ga Ga and Katy Perry wearing the same designer as Hale Berry ... Yeah Cane - enjoy 'this phase' of your life (cause the next phase might be spent running from cattle rustlers in the outback). Will the department of immigration ever check up on the Ashby's status? ... Why would Jill think that 'the pressure's starting to get to Lily'? Didn't Lily just say that she's feeling good - stronger? And if Neil was supposed to be coming to watch over the twins, why wasn't he there when Mac and JT showed up ... Nice that Nikki remembers the 'poor unsuspecting person' who's body she discovered rotting in the stables - but why aren't they taking that particular investigation any further? Skye MUST know more than she's letting on. Nice that Skye has the nerve to claim that GC was getting 'dangerous' for HER? And to call David Chow 'slime'? .... Nikki sure saw right through Sharon (who did seem to be attached to Nick for most of the evening). Of course Sharon won't 'stand in Nick's way' (if he wants to reconcile with Phyllis) - she'll be flat on her back, LAYING in his way ... Couldn't Sharon have finished texting BEFORE she entered the church? Who was she divulging her whereabouts to? Nick? Will she text him again to update on where she's spending the night? How convenient that the church's candles are located right next to the confessional ... Vikki and Billy (the journalist who publishes all things Newman) really didn't know that Adam had been released? You'd think one of them would have got the memo (and wasn't Jill rehired at RS?). Yes, Sharon - Nick HAS betrayed and hurt you - but let's not forget that you married both his stepfather and brother (along with kissing his father and carrying on an affair with his deceased brother in law) ... If the pizza was 'already ordered', why didn't it ever arrive at the arcade? ... Cane admits he had a 'little help from his friends' (in arranging Lily's surprise) - but can't bring himself to give Billy credit where it's due? ... Wow Lauren - what an innovative idea - cutting edge technology - German engineered no doubt - dress racks that adjust to the length of the dresses! - sheer genius - no wonder Jeremy Scott's so impressed (and Fenmore's so successful). But does he really need to see a floor plan of the store? Can't he just swivel his head around the tiny boutique? .. Victor wants the club's patrons to deny Adam access to their restaurants, cafes and stores? Aren't Kevin and Glo (who aren't there) the only other cafe and restaurant owners? And Lauren (also not there) is the only store owner in town? ... 'Everyone wanted to be here for you' Cane gushes at Lily (how pathetic that 'everyone' totals 5 people - 2, maybe 3 of whom are family). Yeah - it's so 'surprising' that Jill's not at the arcade - she's a big fan of Donkey Kong ... Boo hoo - Mac has a hole in her that she 'can't fill'. Come ON JT - sounds like a come on to me.
