Friday, September 29th

The night dark and foggy, Alice isn’t happy to be brought to the cemetery where Cassie’s buried. Sharon felt they needed a guardian angel.

Nick and Chelsea snuggle beneath a blanket. Oh, how she missed him. This is where you belong – you’re part of me; made us a family, Chelsea coos. This is what she wanted before she even knew it. They dress to let an embarrassed Noah in and continue to button up as he wonders if either of them has seen Tessa.

At the club, Abby frets about the gender ratio; more men are registering on the app. We need to draw in more women. Nodding, Zack’s distracted with his phone, and unconcerned; women take more time to come onboard. Maybe the BnS ads will help. Give it a rest, Zack snaps. Whoa – what’s going on with you? Abby’s taken aback.

Sharon and Alice talk about how much they miss Cassie – it wasn’t fair to get Mariah to play her sister’s ghost but Sharon thinks (given the reason) Cassie wouldn’t be upset. You’re on the side of the angels, Sharon even thinks the memory of Cassie might inspire Alice to change her life. After Crystal’s reunited with Tessa, you can get out of this business. As Alice looks at Cassie’s headstone, Tessa and Mariah watch nervously from the shrubs.

Putting an end to Cane’s humorous chat with the twins, Lily announces that they’re getting a divorce. Mattie and Charlie frown at their Mother then their Father.

This is hard and scary for all of us, Lily encourages the twins to ask questions. Why now? Because Lily thinks they should move forward, grieve and heal. Mattie asks about logistics. This will always be your home – you can see your Dad whenever you want. No, Lily and Cane definitely don’t hate each other. There are no sides here. Mattie suggests her Mom wants a divorce for another reason; Jordan.

After Noah leaves, Kevin’s on his laptop complimenting Victor’s gamesmanship (by offering Noah a lease) Victor didn’t offer anything – he just mentioned a location. Kevin points out that Nick losing his money will lead to Noah losing his dream. He has money of his own, Victor thinks Kevin should do less talking, and more work on getting Nick’s money – tonight.




Back at the penthouse, Noah can’t reach anyone on Tessa’s cell or Sharon’s landline. Oh well, he then mentions visiting Victor – he has a location in St Louis available. No, Nick doesn’t hesitate – this is classic Victor Newman. When he appeals to Chelsea she thinks Nick should hear Noah out.

Tessa and Mariah watch as Alice hugs Crystal and tells Leon that she’s coming home with her (per boss’s orders) Hearing a twig snap, Leon pulls Sharon out of the bushes – what the hell’s going on here????

Lily swears this divorce has nothing to do with Jordan. It’s about Juliet and her baby, Charlie tells his sister. Lily and Cane want to put this behind them and move forward. Charlie then tells his Dad that he’s free to move in with Juliet now. That’s not happening, Cane insists. Lily wants them all to get along and support each other – she and Cane will always be there for the twins. We have a lot of good memories, Cane adds. But we won’t be making new ones together, Charlie grumbles.

OK, let’s hear it, Nick’s outnumbered. But when Noah explains that Victor mentioned (but didn’t offer) the St Louis location, Chelsea sees Nick’s point of view – of all the possible locations there’s no need to go with one Victor owns.

Zack feels like a jerk for snapping at Abby – he’s just stressed about glitches in the app. She hopes it’s not because she didn’t go to bed with him last night. No, Zack promises – he’s not ‘that guy’. Then what guy are you? Abby decides to call it a night and regroup tomorrow. Abby, wait, Zack stands to stop her.

Alice tells Leon to go get a drink and don’t worry – the boss knows about everything. Still holding onto Sharon, Leon asks whether this is one of Crystal’s tricks. No! the terrified girl squeaks. When Tessa throws out a rock all hell breaks loose. Alice picks up a gun. What are you waiting for? Mariah yelps at her – point the thing at him! Not so fast, Alice says – as all stare at one another.
