Paul knows this can’t be easy. Nikki had to tell him about the fingerprints. Yes, even knowing what it might cost, they both look over at Vikki (with Neil) Vikki then comes over to snarl at her Mom. No, you didn’t ‘have to’ tell Paul – you didn’t have to stab Dad in the back. As she marches out, Neil comes over to tell Nikki she did the right thing. I hope so, Nikki sighs.
Chelsea loves Adam, more than she’s ever loved anyone – but that doesn’t mean we can be together. It hurts too much to love you. She can’t wait for the shoe to drop – for his secret to come out. It’s just a matter of time….. Victor walks in – get out of the chair, he orders Adam.
Next: Billy’s with Phyllis as she ‘talks’ to Jack – Are you trying to say that Gabriel Bingham isn’t your son? …. Victor sneers down at Adam; You know who I see when I look at you? I see my son Adam…. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. I’m not coming back.
My Thoughts: How exactly does Billy think Neil can help the Abbott’s with this coup? He’s been FIRED! …. Paul was so involved in Avery’s rape case when Joe was the suspect, but doesn’t seem to be spending any time on building a case against the serial rapist now that it’s someone he doesn’t know. Where’s Chris’ outrage? …. Victor points the finger at Gabe for giving ‘false evidence’ but thinks Paul should look the other way when Vikki gave a false statement? …. Nikki needs to learn to process information before reacting. Of course Victor’s been playing her – he’s Victor. He may not be a murderer but that doesn’t negate the control issues, or that he’s a trigger for Nikki’s drinking … I truly hope Victor’s brought down this time. There’s just no way he should come out of this unscathed. Shooting someone ‘in cold blood’ is not the only way to be a villain. He’s still indirectly responsible for Courtney and Austin’s death…. And no Nikki, we don’t ‘know for a fact’ that Jack went to the park intending to shoot Victor … Thankfully Nikki’s not drinking – or she’d never remember that envelope of fingerprints (I’d forgotten and I’m sober, mostly) Of all the places for two alcoholics to meet, could they possibly pick a spot closer to bottles upon bottles of alcohol?? …. Oh Avery, that’s not Nick’s ‘moral compass’ that’s always pointing North…. Why is Neil always trying to be hip and young? KSJ turned 49 2 days ago. Sure, he’s aging extremely well, but let’s not forget that Neil’s the Stanford educated executive; he’s not Malcolm. Find a woman your own age and stick to a regular hand shake … Abby continues to pat herself on the back for sealing an incredible deal – like the warehouse reps can vote on behalf of the entire membership. If she was so prepared and business-like, why wouldn’t she have a proper pad of paper to document the agreement? So Guy didn’t drink at all? He just watched Abby polish off a bottle of champagne? It didn’t cross her mind that he’d take advantage? … I couldn’t care less whether Ben ends up with Abby or her Mother. It’s a disgusting triangle. Doctor or not, I don’t get what either woman see in him. Perhaps I’d like him more if he took a week off to visit his son in Australia … Jessica Collins is a fine actress and I wish her well in her future endeavors – but meh, buh bye Avery .. Why wouldn’t Victor take Nikki along to visit Abby? The two women became quite close (who can forget Abby’s wedding-a-day when Nikki was in the hospital? Apparently Nikki and Victor)
