Still at G-worm, Jill gets the same call from Cane - then updates Tucker (who's invited to tag along - so he can give Devon some news)
Lily and Cane list everyone they've summoned. Kay, Jill, the Winters - and all the babies. No - Lily has no doubts - she loves Cane more every day ~kiss~
Does the charge have something to do with the murder of Vikki's stepmother? Annoyed that Chelsea listened to a private message, Vikki won't discuss it. Bringing a child into this family, Chelsea won't let Vikki's murdering parents anywhere near Billy's baby. And why did Vikki lose custody? They don't take babies away from good mothers. Back off, Vikki snarls. Scurrying out, Chelsea squeezes out a coupla tears - I was just trying to take care of my baby. Already agitated, Vikki's eyes widen - when Billy arrives to say she can't talk to Chelsea like that.
Bringing up Nina, Chloe wonders of Ronan will ever stop punishing her. Ronan can't meet her expectations. You could if you tried, Chloe heads for the door. Don't leave mad, Ronan jumps up - knowing he's 'frustrating'. Declining joining the search for Pinkerton, Ronan gives Chloe a farewell hug - then is left alone to look ... alone.
Back at CL's, Paul gripes to Nina about Walsh. She then gets a call from Chloe. Knowing Ronan won't like it, she tattles that he's leaving town. Thanking Chloe, Nina updates Paul. She said she wouldn't pressure him - but is she supposed to just let her son just disappear from her life - again!?
With all shivering in the park, Cane thanks all for coming - and taking Lily's hand, leads everyone to a pair of snowmen - a bride and groom. All ooh and aah at the happy couple.
Aside, Lily thanks Devon for his support. Good things can come from second chances, he smiles - then joins Tucker and Harmony. Devon appreciates that Tucker will fly him to Dallas for the surgery (on his jet) - but doesn't want to take an 'entourage'. Meanwhile, Jill gripes to Kay - about Harmony asking Tucker for help, not HER. Oh Lord - Kay didn't even know about the surgery? See? You can't trust Harmony - she has an agenda - and you're not part of it (watching Devon with his parents, Kay looks hurt).
Nina pays an awkward visit to Ronan - for small talk about Nikki and the stubborn Walsh. And when Ronan detects that Chloe blabbed to Nina, she wishes she'd heard the news from HIM. No pressure - no guilt trip - but if Ronan ever regrets walking away, she's here. And as Nina leaves with a sad smile, Ronan's once again left alone - and lonely.
Yeah - well - Billy didn't hear what Chelsea said to Vikki - before he walked in. She's trying to drive us crazy, Billy won't let it work - this baby needs their protection. And as Vikki agrees to stay calm, Chelsea returns to apologize for her hormones. She should be more sensitive - when talking to a woman who can't have more kids - when she's carrying her husband's baby. As Vikki huffs off, Chelsea apologizes to Billy. Vikki will be fine - he'll make sure of it. That leaves the smug Chelsea to answer the door. What are you doing here? she asks Chloe (with Delia). No! What are YOU doing here?!
Hey there - Nikki visits Jack - I heard. Jack sent his family away - but wants Nikki to stay. Tell me about YOUR life. Yeah - maybe he doesn't wanna hear about her and The Mustache. Jack's no invalid - talk to me. OK - Nikki may be prosecuted for Diane's death. The DA's desperate for a conviction, Jack's sure Nikki will be found innocent. He's worried about being imprisoned too - by his body - and there's no escape. The pair lock eyes - as Nikki places her hand over Jack's.
Chelsea boats that she's living there now - she wasn't lying - this is Billy's baby. Delia sent upstairs to find Daddy, Chloe snarls at Chelsea - for blurting stuff out in front of Delia. I'm gonna kill Billy. Not like he cheated on YOU. Oh wait - you married him too - because you go pregnant. Chelsea doesn't have a 'plan' - she has a responsibility. Chloe's sure that Chelsea's wasting her time - Vikki is everything Billy needs.
Carrying Moses, Tucker questions Sofia (who's letting things progress naturally - she and Neil are getting closer). Kay tells Neil that Mitchell's drawn up a contract for him to sign. No disrespect - but Neil doesn't want to work at CI. And when Devon joins them, Kay hears that Tucker pulled some strings. Looking hurt, she wishes him well and sulks off. Devon asks Neil to come to Dallas with him - and Harmony. Strolling arm in arm, Jill's touched when Cane informs that he didn't call Genevieve - only people they're 'close' to.
Chloe scolds Billy (for moving Chelsea in) - and doesn't think Delia sleeping over is a good idea (as Daddy has a house guest). It'll be fine, the Abbott's assure. And as they play with Delia, Chelsea's on the front step - on the phone - I don't think this is gonna work. Who knew the guy had principals.
Nina's back at CL's - telling Paul that her big cop son almost seems afraid of her. Paul reasons that he grew up with people who kept to themselves - bought a baby on the black market. Could he change? Nina wonders.
Ronan lectures Walsh - prosecuting Nikki could cost him the female vote. Walsh scoffs at his concern - for him AND Nikki. It wasn't her fault! It's not fair, Ronan concludes.
Praising Jack - for putting on a brave front for his family, Nikki wants only the truth from Jack (who's hand she clasps to her face).
Back at the park, Kay approaches Tucker - it;s a wonderful thing he's doing for Devon. Thanks Mom. Delighted beyond words, Kay strolls off. Sofia looks like she smells something bad - when Harmony credits Neil for her being invited to Dallas. Neil then updates Sofia about Devon's surgery. Harmony's sorry - thought she knew. Lily and Cane then tell everyone that they're getting married on Valentine's Day ~kiss~
