In the apartment, Lola’s willing to talk but won’t debate whether she and Kyle should be together (especially since her Mother is back with her cheating husband) Betrayal can be devastating, Celeste worries Kyle’s the wrong man and will only hurt Lola. She’s then surprised to hear that Kyle married Summer so that she would save her life. Lola and her brothers decided it was best not to tell her. Hurt to have heard all this from a stranger, Celeste feels shut out – what kind of Mother/daughter relationship do we have?
Rey’s pissed – Sharon made it clear she wants nothing to do with you so whatever games you’re playing…… This is no game – Adam knows Sharon cares about Christina. Yes, she does – what does he need? A Mother, Adam stuns her.
Vikki understands the Judge declaring Adam unfit but why you? Whatever the reason, Nick needs a suitable guardian; someone I know will be on my side. Yes, he’s asking Vikki – three months max. Vikki would do anything for Nick and Christian.
Rey hopes Sharon sees what Adam’s doing – we both believe that Nick’s the best person to parent that child. Sharon? Adam implores. She doesn’t want to help you, Rey interjects. Let her speak for herself, Adam says. What about Victor and Nikki? It’s not a good time for them. Vikki? She’ll do everything she can to keep my son from me. I need YOU, Sharon. Adam’s unconcerned that Nick almost lost custody of Christian because he lived with her. He’s manipulating you, Rey warns. Sharon might feel she must hear Adam out, but Rey doesn’t (so stomps upstairs) You’re the only person I can count on, Adam insists.
Lola believes their Mother/daughter relationship is just fine. We fight but love each other. Made to feel like an outsider by her own children, Celeste grabs her purse and exits – she won’t stay where she’s not welcome.
Kyle grabs Theo at CL’s and confronts him for trying to cause trouble for him with Lola’s Mom. Theo did Kyle a favour – that girl’s changing you and not in a good way. Because I’m no longer footing the bill for you? You’re dead to me – and if you hurt Summer, you’ll pay. Is that how you get her into bed? Theo quips. Patrons watch on, one recording the altercation.
What are Jack and Ashley celebrating? New beginnings. As for Billy, Ashley suspects something else is bothering him. To the Abbotts. Jack and Ashley drink – this is what Dad would have wanted.
At Society, Billy doodles Adam/Madame on a bar napkin. When Traci joins him, he asks how she does it – lives without her daughter. One day at a time. Does it ever get better? It gets bearable. Do you ever feel like….. Yes, Traci’s sure she does. Adam being alive has brought out a lot of emotions – connected to Delia. Billy declines a drive home – he’ll be OK. Love you. Love you too. Alone again, Billy ignores his ringing phone as he refocusses on his ‘Madame’ napkin.
He’s not answering, Vikki informs Nick. We can’t wait – if Adam has someone and I don’t, I could lose contact with my son, Nick frets. OK, Vikki will have to tell Billy later. Of course she’ll help. Thank you ~hug~ Both leave the office.
Three months – that’s all. Adam’s not asking for himself, he’s asking for Christian. Rey thinks you’re manipulating me. But what does Sharon think? She thinks Adam’s feelings for Christian are real. Adam wants what’s best for his son – and that’s Sharon. You won’t regret this. Sharon hopes not. Rey will understand. Sharon hopes so. Rey comes down seconds after they leave; he doesn’t look understanding.
