At home, the Abbott's discuss their hallucination - Jack and Victor walking off the elevator - like they were gonna shake one another's hands. Weird - considering Jack's marrying Nikki tomorrow. And as Johnny's put in his bassinet, dead John coos over him (and then he DOES cry). On cue, Jack calls - hey Billy Boy. I'm getting married tomorrow! Swing by. Billy leaves Vikki (who's expecting the Kay and the bride any minute).

Bumping into one another at G-worm, Victor and Nikki mumble about her wedding tomorrow. Why would you wait? Victor agrees.

Sofia's summoned Neil to the CL's patio - to discuss her moving to New York (which she's still determined to do).

At the Newman's, the Fisher's are showing off the website. The retail side? Adam ran into Jason Moore - the CEO of Moore For Less. Initially excited, Kevin does an about face - Adam had no business pitching anything without he and Chloe there.

Oh hi Chelsea - how ARE you? Sharon's 'never been better'. Have a good evening. You too Sharon, Chelsea leaves CL's with her shopping bags - forgetting the one with the pregnancy test. Eyes popping out of her head, Sharon puts it in the garbage.

Normal channels would have taken months to arrange a meeting with Mr Fortune 500 - Adam couldn't wait for the Fisher's to show up. This is OUR idea - has Adam forgotten they're supposed to be partners? Kevin rants.

Back on the patio, Sofia announces she passed on the job. Thank God - what changed her mind? Neil did - Sofia can't put Moses through a bitter custody trial - so gave up a dream job, a new life. Neil appreciates the sacrifice. Sofia didn't have a choice.

What were Jack and Victor talking about in the elevator? Victor told Jack to be good to Nikki. He will be, she's sure - then is stunned to be sent off with a kiss on the cheek.

At Jack's, Billy accepts the role of best man. Hey Trace! She thanks Jack for the 5 minutes notice. John watches - as Jack announces Kyle won't be at the wedding. The tension noticed, a scowling Ashley tells Jack - you wanna tell them or will I?

Of course Neil's sorry Sofia's upset - but Moses needs stability - two full time parents. We agreed to raise him together. Sofia will get other opportunities. She's still pissed by Neil's eagerness to take her to court. I've gotta get home to our son - pick him up tomorrow. Good night, she marches off. Harmony arrives - home from Anna's concert. I could use a friend right now, Neil asks her to stay.

OK guys - we all want the same thing, Chloe makes peace. Adam doesn't expect to be updated on the web aspects of the project - he respects Kevin's expertise in that area (and would appreciate the same trust). OK - Kevin appreciates that - but needs better communication. Fine - we good? Yeah - we're good. When Chelsea returns home, the Fisher's leave. Adam's sure the partnership will work out fine. What did Chelsea buy? Spices? She notices a bag missing - oh no. I lost something.

Taking a seat at G-worm, Sharon was SO happy when Victor called to invite her to dinner. No business - just the two of us, Victor smiles. Sounds perfect, Sharon gushes.

Kay and Nikki are at Vikki's. Seems the bride's taken care of everything. No slacker, Vikki's got Nikki's favourite gourmet goodies and cider. Both have presents for Nikki - it's a spur of the moment shower.

As John hovers, Traci's stunned - Jack Abbott, you should be ashamed of yourself (ousting your own sister). Billy stays out of it - as Ashley whines about selfish Jack (and to hell with me).

Now at CL's, Chloe's happy that Kevin's 'playing nice' - there's no reason Adam won't be fair. Kevin's given 20 minutes to work - then it's time to celebrate.

Chelsea's unable to find the missing bag - she's been a little spaced out today. No - she doesn't need Adam's help! No - she's not mad at him. What did she lose? A home pregnancy test.

At G-worm, Sharon laughs upon hearing that Victor got stuck in the elevator with Jack; whom he wished well on his new marriage. Victor's in a good mood - with Sharon in his life (and he's what she needed too).

How sweet - going to all this trouble, Nikki's grateful. A bride deserves to be spoiled (no matter how many times she's walked down the aisle). Vikki goes to tend to Master Abbott - leaving Nikki to assure Kay she IS happy. Then Kay won't share her 'other thoughts' - best wishes - again.

After Billy calms everyone down, Traci and Ashley go for some fresh air (and to the poolhouse). That leaves John to announce his presence; hello son. Of course Jack remembers it's John's birthday. Why IS her there? John's astonished by Jack's progress - but his choices ..... Kyle needed more time to adjust - the power trip with Ashley. There's still time to make it right! John preaches.

Neil's sorry Sofia's not happy - but he's gonna be a hands on father. Harmony admires that - wishing she'd fought for HER kids. But she also understands that Sofia wants a fresh start. Neil sympathizes too - but is afraid she'll always resent him. Yup - it's a game changer, Harmony agrees.

Adam doesn't know what to say - he's surprised. Chelsea's been feeling queasy - and is late - it's probably a false alarm. And as she goes to fix dinner, Adam sits to think.

Home, Billy updates that the family gathering got 'heated' - he's not getting involved. And off to bed they go.

Walking to the poolhouse, Ashley whines to Traci (who empathizes with all her problems - Abby, Tucker). Yes, it's over - but not easy - and then there's Jack (a jerk for turning on Ashley).

Inside, Jack's reminded of his Dad's last visit. Yes - this IS the life he fought to come back to (from the operating table). He's got BofN & Jabot - Nikki and his legs are coming back! At what cost? John argues. Jack's learned one thing - every second counts - hold onto what you've got. You're not the man I thought you were, John disapproves. You're not even real, Jack wheels off.

The call Victor made during dinner - was to have some candles lit at the ranch. He enjoys surprising Sharon. Let's start over - a new beginning. Sharon would love that. They dance - you and I were made for love. Perfect just like hand and glove - let's give one kiss a try.

Nikki's at Jack's - no backing out - it's all set. She tells him about the impromptu shower. No - Jack's not bummed about Kyle - a father should accept a son who he is (not make him feel guilty). Yeah - Traci's here - it wasn't the family reunion Jack hoped for.

Sitting by the pool, Traci laughs at the family drama. Oh how the sisters have missed one another. Come home with me after the wedding, Traci invites. You need to find your happiness, John says (Traci echoes - you know what Dad would say.. ) It's his birthday today - if only he was here. He is - always, a weepy Traci takes Ashley's hands (as John smiles proudly).

Dinner? Movie? Clubbing? What'll it be? The Fisher's decide to go home - Delia's with Ester for the night. How about adult game night? How about race you to the car.

Nikki at Jack's, the Abbott's also have the house to themselves. Billy jokes - the best man and maid of honour will probably hook up ~kiss~

Grilled cheese and tomato soup? Chelsea finds Adam's disappeared. Oh - there he is - with a pregnancy test - he can't wait to find out if they're gonna be parents. Of course he wouldn't 'mind' - it'd be amazing. Oh how wonderful Adam is ~hug~ A baby - wow ~kiss~

Back on the patio, Neil appreciates Harmony's no nonsense advice. He loves her honesty - telling him what he needs to hear (not what he wants to hear).

Ashley's delighted to 'see' Daddy (for the first time). Yes - he knows what's going on. She's so confused - what to do? It's time she took care of herself. Life is what you make it. I love you Daddy. I love you my beauty.

Jack hates that Ashley's mad at him - he can't be in charge of everyone's happiness. He can't wait to marry Nikki tomorrow (and she him ~kiss~)

Sharon and Victor sway in circles. What an amazing evening. How lucky they found their way back to each other - understand one another - have been there for each other (when no one else has). We belong to each other. Victor wants to be with Sharon - do me the honour of becoming my wife. Sharon looks ever so pleased.

Next: Things aren't clicking for me here in GC, Ashley tells Tucker (who wonders if there's anything he can say to change her mind).... You son of a bitch - you taped our sessions, Phyllis hisses at Dr Tim (who has a recorder in his hand) .... Victor and Sharon exchange vows on the jet - with this ring I thee wed.

My Thoughts: Another of Victor's 'I'll show Nikki' weddings -What are you smiling at? Billy asks Johnny - who doesn't really have a 'goofy grin' - in fact he looks about ready to cry - and in fact DOES cry when cooed at by an old ghost in a fake tan ... Kyle 'still blames Nikki for his mother's death'? STILL? Really Kyle - how long you gonna carry this grudge? And Gosh Jack - I can't imagine why Kyle would still blame Nikki - perhaps it's because Nikki bashed Diane's head in with a rock, in a drunken stupor. And was it ever explained who dragged Diane's dead body to the river? ... John's sorry he hasn't spoken to Ashley before now. Yet - she's not even surprised to see her dead-for-a-decade Dad - and doesn't wonder why it's taken him so long. Won't she be jealous when she finds out Jack's been getting sporadic visits for years.
