Monday, July 10th

Jordan’s at Lily’s to offer his support. He’s sorry but not surprised to hear that Cane got fired and thinks it great that her job is secure. Yeah, but that doesn’t make Lily feel much better though.

Abby’s needling Vikki about not being involved in the planning of the benefit when Mr Pittman, the inspector arrives. Vikki’s left to chat with Nick – who’s there for Mom’s sake. She needs a united front, Vikki agrees.

Victor comes home to find Nikki seated at the piano – he wants everything to be perfect tomorrow. Nikki hopes she doesn’t disappoint. And what if she doesn’t radiate pure happiness tomorrow night? Why do you say that? Victor’s puzzled.

Hilary’s busy on the phone making preparations for coverage of the benefit when Juliet comes in all nervous about the paternity test and in need of company. Hilary wonders why she’s so nervous since she’s sure Cane’s the Father.

Juliet’s pregnant?! Why didn’t you use protection?! Jill’s horrified. Cane was drunk – and there’s no proof he’s the Father. The results should be in later today. Jill’s not sure how the Ashby family will recover from this.

You’re on the wrong floor, Billy informs Jack – knowing he’s there to gloat about this quarter’s numbers being down. The lawsuit’s been settled and Cane’s been fired. Tell Vikki that Jabot will be happy to take BnS off your hands – make sure the rent’s paid on time – have a good day, Jack saunters out.



Nikki never wanted to do any of this … The whole family will be there to support you, Victor adds that Vikki thanked him for helping her. She knows I’ll never give up on his family.

Vikki tells Nick that Dad’s trying to make amends. Mom will play tomorrow and we’ll play happy family for the camera. It’s too late to cancel this shindig so you may as well enjoy it. Nick’s left to look at a can of soda (?)

Jill encourages Cane to do whatever’s necessary to make this right.

Back in Hilary’s suite, Juliet knows what the results will say but worries how Cane will react. He IS a good guy. He’s married, Hilary denies she’s ‘mean’ but won’t lose Jordan because Juliet has no other friends. She also reminds that Juliet confessed to her that Cane didn’t sexually harass her. Juliet then gets a call. Is Cane the Father? Hilary asks.

Lily can’t make any decisions until she knows if Cane’s the Father.

Next: I got the test results, Juliet tells Lily (at her front door) … Ready for the concert? Vikki comes in to hug her Mom. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be, Nikki forces a smile…. Nick tells Chelsea that all she needs to know is that this concert isn’t happening.
