Tuesday, October 10th

Now at the station, Nick was so tempted to wipe that smug look off his Dad’s face – but the interview will have to do. Chelsea and Hilary chat about how well their endorsement deal’s working. Hilary’s on a time crunch (she has to get to an event) Taking a seat behind the desk, Nick confirms that no one knows he’s doing this interview.

Victor drops by with the paperwork giving BnS ownership of the developed products to go against BnS. He doesn’t understand why they’re suddenly shifting focus to the men’s line. Are you acting on confidential information? he guesses. Yes, he DOES have a problem with that – it’s a huge mistake.

Victor’s merely giving advise – he’s not telling Vikki what to do. Billy explains that they’re going after a market Jabot’s dropping the ball on. It’s the best use of Neil’s loan. Victor speaks in gambling terms for Billy’s sake. Jack’s a wild card.

Gloria, Ravi, Phyllis and the Abbott ladies clink champagne classes in Ashley’s honour. Jack makes a lovely speech; Ashley’s beautiful inside and out. Cheers. Congratulations. Ashley joins Jack to say a few teary words; thanking her Jabot family/her Abbott family. She looks forward to seeing them again tonight. Dina looks adrift without Graham to anchor her.

Hilary begins the show by introducing her special guest. Why did you want to come on the show today? Nick stammers. Cut! Hilary gives Chelsea a minute to remind Nick that if he’s having second thoughts, they can leave right now.

Nick’s good – he just needs a minute to let it sink in. I have to do this, he vows to Chelsea. Hilary returns to repeat her question. Nick’s there to set the record straight.




Billy and Vikki assure Victor that Jack’s not on to them. Victor has total faith in Vikki’s judgment – but warns both to keep their eyes and ears wide open.

Gloria quietly tells Ashley that she won’t be attending her soiree tonight because she has other plans. Offering Dina a ride to the club, Abby goes to wait by the elevator so Dina can stay behind to tell Ashley how proud she is of her. And how gracious to include Graham. When Ashley clarifies that she still doesn’t trust Graham, Dina even appreciates her candor. Now alone, Ashley gets a summons from Ravi – he found something on Graham’s Mother.

Ravi’s put together a job history of Graham’s Mother – including a stint at a private school. Which one? Ashley asks. Walnut Grove.

Jack’s called Phyllis back to say he’s sorry for being a jerk earlier. Are we good now? Phyllis asks. Jack hopes so – but can you keep your game face on tonight? I know you better than most people. As does Billy, Phyllis adds pointedly. Billy appears to see they started the celebration early. Yes, Traci was here. I must have missed the phone call, Billy jokes to cover up that he’s hurt.

Hilary thanks Nick for being open and honest. For once, I’m speechless. The cameras off, Hilary thanks Nick for blowing her mind ~hug~ That took guts. It’ll air soon so warn your family.
