He is beautiful – so small – all these machines, Sage is near tears. Noah was like this – he survived – our son will too, Nick reassures. Sage suggests they name him Christian. Victor’s birth name and Nick’s middle name. Nick tears up – Victor will love it; his namesake is a fighter. Welcome to the world Christian Andrew.
In matching hospital gowns, Sage and Nick hold hands as they watch over little Christian.
Kevin is OK – Adam would love him to fall apart – instead, he’ll stop Paragon. He’ll choke on this virus. Abby hopes to celebrate Adam being put behind bars – finally paying for what he did to Delia.
Back home, the trip off, Vikki was hoping Billy would stay for dinner – and the night – and the next. Move back in. Yes – of course, Billy can’t wait. Neither can Vikki. It’s been two years. He’s home ~hug~
Jack’s relieved to get an update that Billy won’t be charged – seems Adam wants to make amends to those he hurts. Chelsea agrees – Adam called to set her free. She’ll never be free – just as Adam will never be free of his guilt over Delia.
Victor enters the interrogation room – hello son.
Next: Patty stops Dylan – ohhh wait – you can’t go yet – I have to warn you about Sharon … Tears in his eyes, Victor tells Christian to fight like a Newman – I wish I could hold you in my arms right now….. Mike’s flabbergasted by Adam’s urgent request – You gotta help me get out of here – even if it’s just for an hour – make it happen.
My Thoughts: Really?! THIS is the next obstacle the Baldwin’s will face in their quest for happily ever after? Nice that Mike has recovered from that pesky little cancer easier than I shake off a cold. Two incredible and incredibly underutilized actors and a storyline with unlimited potential to not only tug at our heartstrings, but to yank them clear out of our chests. But no – let’s overshadow a cancer storyline with a cheating storyline (one kiss no less) You dropped the ball writers. How can we possibly give a rats ass about Lauren’s disapproval of Mike representing Adam. Sure Mike shouldn’t do it – but he doesn’t tell Lauren not to sell her frocks to the unworthy (*cough* Hilary) …. It makes absolutely no sense for Sage to name her son after the man she’s terrified will take him away from her. I thought for sure he’d be named after a spice; Basil or Paprika…. At least it appears that Sharon won’t be stealing the little tyke… Odd that there’s not a convention of Newman’s in GCM’s waiting room … It’s a sad day when I can say Abby is the voice of reason. Now that she’s dumped Ben, perhaps she and Mariah can fight over Kevin… It seems that Victor DOES have his leverage over Adam – he’ll release Chelsea if he’ll help him stop Paragon (which is win-win – EXCEPT that Adam isn’t a computer genius. He certainly could hide a ‘back door’ from Ian’s hacker and Kevin)
