In their room, the bride and groom laugh and make out. Meanwhile, at the farmhouse, Sharon flashes back to Adam saying he loves Chelsea more.

Adam in the shower, a stunned Chelsea ignores Sharon's call. How was your trip to New York? Victor startles Sharon by appearing at the farmhouse.

Noah drops by the penthouse to see Summer (who plans to visit Dad - find out how NOT fine things are).

Nick's at CL's with Daniel - Phyllis is out on bail (but Avery's bringing her home, not him). Both are angry - with Daniel concluding that Phyllis doesn't need anyone at all.

As Avery signs her client's paperwork, Chris saunters over to say Phyllis doesn't belong on the streets - then points out that no one's here to pick her up. They know exactly what you are.

Chris is self righteous. Phyllis is self-serving and deluded. When Avery steps in, Chris states she's there as a victim - not a lawyer. Don't look/talk to her, Avery sends Phyllis off to call a cab.

Back on the patio, Nick defends Phyllis - how many times has she been there for Daniel? She loves Lucy - and needs help. OK - Daniel will take Lucy to see her.

As Chelsea and Adam giggle, Sharon's stammering lies to Victor. Um - I - was gonna call you. She confesses she asked Adam to call off the wedding - but he loves Chelsea. Yes - he rejected her. Rehashing Sharon's lies, Victor decides this ain't gonna work unless they're honest with one another.

At CL's, Nick sits Noah and Summer down - to update them on Phyllis' situation. Detecting Nick's mood, Summer asks if he thinks Mom did it.

Discussing objectivity, Chris is amazed Avery can keep a straight face (defending the innocent for years - now Phyllis). Arriving with Lucy, Daniel's reassured that Avery won't let Phyllis go to jail (but is facing life). She then realizes that Daniel believes his mother guilty.

Chelsea tells Adam that he got a call - from Sharon. What!? She's in Kansas!? Adam calls the Reverend - something's come up. You're calling off the wedding? No - Adam's taking Chelsea to the farm.

You lied to me - went behind my back - Victor Newman doesn't like to be made a fool of. It was careless and rash (but Sharon claims HE'S distracted by Nikki). Victor told Nikki were he stands - and through her actions, Sharon has told Victor where SHE stands.

Now knowing what her future ISN'T, Sharon's sorry she doubted 'us' (and hopes that's enough for Victor). 'Car's outside', Victor walks out - a resigned Sharon following.

Avery stresses that Phyllis needs her family. We'll support her, Daniel amends (at least SOME of us will).

Back at CL's, Summer frets - OMG - you think Mom did it - and the jury will too. Nick recites a nice speech (about how Phyllis is still Mom - who'd be there if they were in trouble). Bailing on her would be a mistake.

Summer? Nick? Phyllis finds the penthouse empty.

This is it! Adam leads Chelsea into the farmhouse (where it's immediately realized that Sharon spent the night). She's gone now. Chelsea knows all about what happened at the farmhouse - and is bothered that Sharon was there. Easy tiger - check out the farm - this is NOT Sharon; it's Adam's Mom - a steel magnolia; tough. Sharon helped get Adam 'here' - but it's Chelsea he loves. We're gonna say 'I do' right here.

Before you know it, the Reverend and his Mrs arrive. Yes, Adam knows what he's doing - and when Chelsea comes down (in a white dress), the ceremony begins.

Phyllis let's Avery in - the penthouse won't be empty for long. Daniel brings Lucy in for some 'hugs'. I'm here for you, he brings Phyllis to tears. Nick's been thinking about her too.

Still at CL's, Nick's coaching Summer (on defending her mother). The kids now ready to see Mom, Chris arrives. Obediently defending her mother, Summer lashes out (then is lead off by Noah) - leaving Nick to tell Chris that she's not to talk to his kids. Oh but he DOES know who Phyllis is (and is starting to figure out who Chris is too) - he leaves her looking much less confident.

Back at the penthouse, Phyllis greets Summer and Noah with a hug. Almost the whole family. On cue, Nick arrives - did he miss the hugs and kisses?

Adam and Chelsea joke through their vows. The groom's lucky as hell - no delusions - just real life. You like me - you really like me. You might even call it love. Adam will always love Chelsea.

At the ranch, Sharon can tell Victor's mad at her. She'd appreciate him reciprocating her honesty - by admitting he has feelings for Nikki. Move past her - and Adam, she encourages - accept my apology. Sharon now realizes her future is ahead - not behind her. She and Victor can have a good future - but it's up to him. Hmmm, he appears to mull it over.

Still at the station, Chris calls Mike - there's no way Phyllis kept her mouth shut all these years (she wants to question her family). Someone knows something.

The penthouse a happy place, Phyllis quietly assumes Nick's there so they can tell Summer together (that he's moving out). She doesn't blame him for leaving (over a secret she blocked out). Nick knows she's not that person anymore - and is where he belongs. With our family? With you - I love you ~hug~

Victor pours and drinks - then accepts Sharon's apology - it's time to move on. Together or apart? In answer he calls Bonnie - to have Ms Newman's things moved to the guest room of the main house. Let's take things one step at a time (which is fine with Sharon).

Now pronounced man and wife, an ever so happy Adam and Chelsea kiss.

Next: I'm ready to dive back in, Phyllis tells Billy (with Vikki at RS). I'm gonna have to let you go, he responds ... I'm not going to resign from Jabot Ash (who's gonna have to contact the board and have him removed) ... Phyllis is gonna run me over with her car when I leave the office? Billy gets a punch in the face from Nick.

My Thoughts: Shouldn't Chelsea have saved her new lingerie for her wedding night? ... How does Adam know Sharon's gone? Couldn't she be upstairs? ...VICTOR'S the one who needs to 'get past' Adam? Sharon JUST flew to Kansas to try derail his wedding! (which is pretty well what she tried to do with Brad when he married Vikki).. Sharon couldn't even be bothered to lock up the farmhouse and put the spare key back? .. Is Bonnie supposed to move Sharon's luggage herself? ... It sure didn't take Nick long to forgive Phyllis - but didn't Nick know who Chris was when he kissed her at Jimmy's a coupla years ago? ... Sharon's not sorry she went to the farmhouse - she's just sorry she got caught .... Victor gave Sharon time to think about moving in with him? And he gave her that time? Was there a time limit? ... 'Nobody makes a fool of Victor Newman' - he accomplishes that quite well all on his own (though you'd think his girlfriend being rejected by his own son would qualify)
