Friday, May 25th

Faith’s been through this before – can Nick and Sharon promise it’ll last this time? No, but they’re sorry for they’ve put Faith through and ask that she give them a chance. After a group hug and I love you’s, Faith goes to get ready for the BBQ.

While Lily dabs between her breasts with a napkin, Mattie praises her Mom for staying calm (while Charlie thinks Hilary made a nice shot) After Kyle and Charlie have words about Dina’s movie (which both deny tampering with) Jack arrives determined to finish their talk. Kyle was going to quit but reality hit; he’s better off in an established company. Jack blames Victor for coming between them. When the ‘puppetmaster’ arrives on cue, Victor denies Jack’s accusations. Neil and Kyle step in to stop Jack from attacking Victor.

As Jack scowls at his drink, Vikki greets her Mom and recaps that Dad and Jack almost coming to blows. Nick and Sharon arrive with the kids and some more news. Don’t tell us she’s….. Nikki’s cut off when Neil takes to the mic to announce that his company is donating today’s proceeds to the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice; Happy Memorial Day.

This isn’t as bad as Mariah thought it would be. Tessa’s nervous about performing and still feels bad about swiping Mariah’s journal. You’ll be great – do your thing and I’ll do mine (yes, cheering obnoxiously) As Sharon watches the girls talk, Hilary gives Kyle a hot dog and asks him how Jack is. He’s not OK, Kyle admits.






Seated with Sharon and the kids, his parents and sister, Nick announces his return to NE. Ecstatic, Victor takes Neil’s mic to declare that drinks are on him the rest of the day; his son is coming back to the family business. As Victor toasts all Fathers and sons, Jack’s looks angrier (as Kyle continues to monitor him)

As Devon and Hilary tell each other how hot they look, Lily glares at them. Mariah takes a break to give Faith a pep talk. If you really want to be with someone you have to go for it. Yes, even if you get hurt. Your parents and super-cool big sister love you. Yeah, I can always count on Summer, Faith jokes. Sharon and Mariah then have a brief chat about Tessa.

When Shawna arrives, Hilary asks her all about the prom (as Lily continues to look like she smells something bad) After Charlie takes Shawna to hang out, Devon brings over boxes of desserts. Not happy that Hilary’s got her hooks into Devon again, Lily ignores Neil to go over and warn Hilary that she better treat Devon right this time.
