Wait, the ink’s not dry on the divorce papers, Hilary worries about Neil and Lily. Devon’s first priority is making Hilary his wife) Yes, she agrees ~kiss~
Avery wants to see Joe walk – right now – walk! Joe stands shakily and takes a couple of wobbly steps before almost collapsing. Avery hesitates a moment – then slaps him across the face – hard.
Avery won’t be made a fool of – stop lying! You’ve been able to walk for weeks haven’t you!? Yes, yes, Joe admits.
Phone in her hand, Nikki’s NOT thinking about calling Victor, she’s thinking about asking Avery for legal advice. No big decisions, Neil encourages her to focus on healing. Thanks for coming, love ya, Nikki gives him a hug (as Neil asks her not to do anything she’ll regret) Same goes for you, Nikki replies.
Lily marches over to Cane and Lauren, claws bared. Maybe Cane’s just trying to comfort a business partner, but Lauren needs to back off. Just because she can’t hold on to her own husband, doesn’t give her right to hers. Find another shoulder to cry on – my husband is off limits!
Ashley’s not buying that Victor and Yack were discussing Gabe. Victor’s saved by a call (and delighted that Nikki wants to see him right away) That leaves Yack to tell Ashley – we need to talk.
After all we’ve been through – you think I just want a pay off?! Of course not, Jack describes the heartland that is Genoa City; where he works with people he loves – people I miss, he sniffles. Marissa thinks this new home sounds captivating – so much so that she wants to share it with him.
Joe lied for a reason – he can’t do this on his own. You’re the only family I have. We’ve been over for years, Avery insists she’s acted out of guilt. Joe’s glad Summer busted him – now he can be honest. I love you, and I know you love me.
Devon (with Hilary) is now on the scene – to tell Lily she’s out of line. Lauren has a history, Lily reminds everyone of Carmine. After Lauren leaves in tears, Cane agrees with Devon – Lily IS out of line (and off he goes)
Yack needs a favour – life is precious, he now knows. He’s asked Mike to make Ashley executor of his will. Why not Phyllis? She feels a debt of gratitude to Victor. Yack wants Ashley to protect his legacy.
