Tessa leaves a message for Mariah – telling her all about the wedding. The only thing missing was you – wish you were here. Noah again appears to relate to feeling alone while being surrounded by people. Tessa bursts into tears. Mariah’s shutting me out.

Jesse doesn’t care about the money – he wants to humiliate Ashland. Hearing Jesse’s complaint that his Father, Ashland understands somewhat – he would have given anything to experience his Father’s love; my home life was a living hell. So, yes – I have an idea of the pain you experienced – but how is your pain my fault?

Nick continues to whine about his Father. You’re nothing like your him, Vikki is. But when Phyllis agrees that it’s wrong for the family to rally around this criminal, Nick takes exception to her disrespecting his family. That’s not what I’m doing! Phyllis is frustrated.

Vikki will cherish her dress forever – this is the happiest day of her life – she and Ashland may work from Tuscany part-time, she tells her Mom. This day is magical. She knew Dad would manage the situation. Your Father wouldn’t let anyone ruin your wedding day, Nikki purrs.

In the storage room, Ashland feels that both he and Jesse were let down by people. But you don’t even know what you want – to play Victor against Billy? You’re a lost soul. Victor and I both gave you money. You could have walked away a very wealthy man. The Newmans and I haven’t decided what to do with you but we’ll figure something out, Ashland locks the door and goes to enjoy his wedding.






I’m always on your side – Phyllis knows Nick’s disgusted by what he found out and upset about the rift with his sister. You and Billy both wanted the same thing (Nick disagrees) But, Vikki’s a grown woman who can make her own decisions. Phyllis hates her but she’s smart and no damsel in distress who needs rescuing. Why do you and Billy have to ride in on your horse to rescue her?!

Congratulated by Lily, Ashland requests a private word with Billy. Whatever you have to say to me, say in front of Lily; we have no secrets, Billy announces. Admirable, Ashland informs that Gaines is no longer a threat (and he wonders if Billy is) Don’t release that information for the sake of my son and my wife.

Tessa talks to Noah about Mariah’s connection to ‘Bowie’ and her solution to the problem; having a baby of their own. Noah knows Tessa loves his sister and wants them both to be happy. He hates seeing Tessa upset. She missed his friendship. He’ll always be her friend.

Billy won’t release the video. Video? Yes, video – Billy hands his phone to Ashland. What will he do with it? He’ll delete it right not – there, done. Thanked, Billy clarifies that he only did it to preserve his relationship with the mother of his children. I’m proud of you, Lily’s left to say.
