Thursday, August 16th

Neil and Ashley sway and joke on the dancefloor – then leave so Neil can play her one of the jazz greats.

Nick again bumps into Rey at CL’s and introduces him to his fiancee Sharon (who hands him her real estate agent’s business card) Abby comes in to apologize to Sharon (who admits she could have extended the invitation with more warmth) Abby would love to be part of Nick and Sharon’s special day.

As Billy sits behind his desk in his darkened office, Summer quietly slips out of the apartment.

Pulling out an LP, Neil tells Ashley that the artist died in an accident when he was 25. Dancing soon leads to passionate kissing.






I’m not doing this, Billy says when Summer turns up in his office. No, he doesn’t want Summer; never will. He feels like he’ll be pushed off a ledge every time she walks in a room. Summer can tell when a guy’s into her. We’d be so good together – so dangerous. Billy’s not interested. Summer continues to list what she likes about Billy. I make you nervous. You might not want to watch me but you do. We’re done, Billy exits and looks frustrated at the elevator.

Nick asks Arturo to come along when he scouts some buildings for Dark Horse. Leaving, Abby thanks Sharon and again says she’d be honored to be part of the wedding party. Sharon thinks it’ll be a new beginning all the way around.

Rey’s in a dark room posting photos on a wall connected by red tape. JT’s in the middle, surrounded by Nick, Sharon, Vikki, Phyllis, Nikki and Victor.

Next week: The new Nick Newman – just like Daddy after all, Billy sneers at Nick …. Neil and Ashley bid one another good morning – now what? ….You’re Nikki and Victor Newman, right? Rey approaches their table at the club …. ‘I forgot my phone’ – Phyllis is stunned to walk in on a scantily clad Summer and a guilty looking Billy.
