Avery’s seen this before – investigations need momentum – without it, cops lose interest, crimes go unsolved. She fought Joe as hard as she could and couldn’t get him off her. Sharon arrives to find Avery weeping in Dylan’s arms.
In the park, Vikki and Billy agree that ‘Gabe’ must be stopped – let’s work together to stop him. It might be our families’ only hope.
Nikki – can you hear me? Neil calls 911 – my friend might have alcohol poisoning. Giving the club’s suite number, he says, she might not be breathing. Neil then mounts Nikki to give her mouth to mouth.
Back at the station, Paul announces that ballistics is testing the gun – and Chris is offering a deal. Mike says it’s a good one. Without hearing it, Victor rejects the deal – we’ll prove I shot in self defense.
Chelsea leaves Nick to warn Adam that he’ll shred his story. How? The evidence backs his story. Victor?? An ‘innocent man’? Adam scoffs. Nick wonders why he hates Victor so much. He shot Jack!! Yeah, in self defense, and Gabe will have to go through Nick if he wants the company. Adam glares at Nick – it’s been shoved down your throat your whole life; your Father trying to force you into the Newman mold. You’ve finally become the one thing you hate – your Father.
Next: Adam talks to an unconscious Jack; When you pull through, and you will, you’re gonna need to back me up, OK? Like hell he is, Kyle appears …. With Avery, Sharon looks at Dylan (working across the room) I can’t imagine a better Father for my child. Your child? Avery’s stunned … Lily seems ready to confess to Cane – I don’t think you’re going to want to go on vacation with me when I tell you…
My Thoughts: Gee Neil, did you have to mount Nikki to perform mouth to mouth? It looked quite awkward and I don’t see how he can do chest compressions from that angle, nor can he turn his head easily to see if her chest is rising and falling … Nikki needs to quit her belly-aching. Nick and Dylan are happy – they’re big boys – they made their own beds and seem pretty comfy sleeping in em. Nick’s hardly ‘about to have a baby’ with Sage – she’s barely into her second trimester. Other’s have far better excuses to drink. Obviously, her latest rehab stint wasn’t nearly long enough. She talked a good game for a few weeks …. Only those with the authority can conduct an ‘interrogation’ Dylan – what you did was confine and assault someone who already has a restraining order against you. It’s ridiculous that Joe wouldn’t press charges… Yes, Joe could attack Avery again – but you’re ‘walking around free’ too Dylan – free to attack Joe again. … Why does Sharon insist on wearing fashions more suited to her daughters? And since she’s thrown her meds away, how long before she goes off the rails? …. So Abby’s ONLY being hired because her last name is Newman and Abbott? There’s no attempt to disguise the nepotism. Whatever happened to the board members that were always getting called in to emergency meetings? (the same folks Ashley got to sign off on ousting Jack from Jabot)?? …. Still another day with no Traci. I’d love to see her go up one side of Victor and down the other (or better yet, rip Colleen’s heart from his chest) And you’d think ghost John would have paid Jack a visit by now … When Victor tells Nikki to go – walk out the door, I sang to myself ‘turn around now, you’re not welcome anymore. You’re the one who tried to hurt me with good byes, do you think I’d crumble. Do you think I’d lay down and die???? (and now you’ll sing it too. You’re welcome) … Why would Chris offer Victor any deal, let alone a ‘good’ one? Any affection she had for TGVN is long gone… Vikki sounds like an idiot ranting about Nick not supporting the same Father the THREE of them sued for a collective 1.5 Billion, with a B’. Where was her loyalty to Daddy then? At least Nick’s consistent (or was) … Lily panics at the thought of the ‘whole department’ knowing she slept with Joe. Yes, because that would include Kevin, the guy almost sent to prison for statutory rape (and giving you an STD if I recall correctly) Oh how times have changed. I wonder if that’s why Kevin rarely drops by the club….. Did Ashley really need to blindside Billy with the DNA results in front of Adam? She couldn’t have told him later, in private? Why anyone trusts DNA labs anymore is beyond me … Have a safe and happy 4th of July! I sure miss the pool parties hosted by the Abbott or Newman families
