How great would it be if we had a girl? Adam persists. Chelsea wonders if this is because Sally’s pregnant.
If Victor were to admit he fabricated emails, he might be charged – he won’t implicate himself. Mike thinks Chris might be willing to waive a minor offence. Nick chimes in that Phyllis saved his life. Chris needs Victor to be honest – did you fabricate the evidence?
Chelsea’s proud of Connor (and Johnny) but doesn’t want to go through another pregnancy. Adam understands – what we have with Connor is enough for me.
Tell Chris the truth, Phyllis (and Mike) insists. Victoria comes home to hear about the deal. Chris needs to know, from Victor, if the evidence was fabricated.
Chelsea knows that Adam’s thinking of Eva – he should discuss his feelings so they don’t ‘fester’.
Chris is almost at the front door, when Victor admits he did what was necessary to get back what was stolen from him. She’s pissed – and won’t trust him and Victoria again – but sees that she has no choice. After Chris leaves, Mike tells Victor that he’ll get the paperwork within the hours. We won, Victor tells his kids after they leave.
Yes, hearing that Sally was pregnant opened up old wounds (about Eva) She’s always with you, Chelsea understands. They’re about to kiss when Victor calls Adam to summon them both to the ranch for some news.
At the club, Mike assures Phyllis that Lauren will be relieved – we can all breathe. YOU can – you haven’t just lost everything, she pouts.
It’s all gone – poof, Phyllis mopes over drinks with Mike. I’m the same struggling woman I was before (but without my children) When Chris arrives, Phyllis glares at her.
‘The paperwork just came through’ and all the Newmans (except Nikki) are celebrating. To Dad, they toast with champagne. Misty eyed, Victor thanks them for their support. Newman Enterprises is back where it belongs, all clink glasses.
Ignoring Mike, Phyllis goes to confront Chris – I was telling the truth – you did what everyone else does – deferred to Victor. You just showed everyone that you’re Victor’s puppet. It makes her happy that Chris’ first case as DA is a big flop.
Aside, Victoria tells her father that there’s someone missing from this celebration. Can’t you and Mom find your way back to each other? Victor smiles.
