Collin throws jab after jab at Devon and Hilary, pretending to be uncomfortable when they kiss. After Hilary goes to get ready, Collin declares him one lucky guy. Devon snarls – can’t the shakedown wait until after the ceremony. Collin challenges him to tell Hilary, or he can do it – Collin’s cool either way.
Nikki lists everything Neil’s done for her – let me return the favour. There’s a new bowling alley – she has her own shoes. She can see Neil white knuckling through the day with visions of revenge. Neil enjoys those visions – but that’s where it ends. He won’t do anything about it.
Neil gone, Nikki finds Hilary working on her vows – how do you make it sound real and honest? Nikki sits – that’s a tall order. Has Nikki ever written her own vows? ~chuckle~ a few times – it’s not foreign territory for her. Speak from your heart. Be careful today, Nikki’s smile is gone. Neil is far from ‘fine’ – it could create some problems.
Adam lies – it was the realtor, they can go see the house. It’s too fast, Chelsea says. It’s taken too long for Adam – this could be our last chance. If we don’t take it, we’ll have a life of ‘what ifs’. We don’t have a choice – we have to that this chance, Chelsea agrees – I forgive you ~kiss~
Victor’s on the phone with his guy – find Annacelli now! Jack saunters in – Marco tried to be me. It’s my turn now. Ashley marches in – annoyed to be interrupting another private meeting. After Victor leaves, Jack quietly updates Ash; it’s not Gabe. He’s not coming back to GC. Maybe there’s no conspiracy at all; it’s in Victor’s imagination.
This is happening. Yes it is. Chelsea smiles – until she gets a call from Ashley – who knows all about her and Gabe setting up house in France. How??? Jack – he just called Gabe, asked him to come back – he refused. Gabe didn’t mention Jack’s call to you? No, he didn’t.
At the bar, Collin orders champagne on the grooms tab and Neil’s soda water. Devon’s handing over $20’s as long as I keep my mouth shut, Collin boasts. Really? You already got paid for that video. Push Devon too hard and you’ll mess everything up. You did your job, not get out of this thing – the rest is up to Neil. Collin won’t miss it – no one will, Neil assures.
Across the room, Nikki watches Collin leave, then follows to ask what they were talking about. Guys stuff, he lies. Neil doesn’t need any needling from you, Nikki’s reminded that Collin is family. Today, he’ll need our love and support. Collin’s on the same page – anything for family, no matter how uncomfortable they make it. Nikki’s left puzzled.
Their private chat done, Jack and Victor rejoin Ashley. Gabe is not behind the attack, they’ve decided – he’s throwing himself at Chelsea’s feet. Nothing says she can’t throw him right back, Ashley mutters.
Back on Paris, Chelsea asks Gabe if he’ll have no regrets about leaving GC – his work, and hers? No – Paris and Milan are fashion capitals of the world. It’ll be great. What about friends? Sage isn’t a friend. Jack? He’s always had your back. Chelsea knows Adam would give her the world – but he refuses to give her the truth.
Chelsea knows the realtor didn’t call – it was Jack – calling GABE. You turned Jack down before I said Yes. Your first instinct is to lie. Adam babbles – he was eliminating an obstacle. A little phone call doesn’t mean a damn thing to their future. No, but the PAST is right here! Chelsea marches off.
At CL’s, Kevin does ‘give a rats’ that Summer’s upset – he gives several rats. Mariah agrees – we just need to find out what’s locked in that blonde cage she calls a brain. Kyle reminds that they were all drugged. Summer heard something, the other two insist – we need to figure out what that music means.
Harding joins Summer at the park – we’ll get who did this to Austin and Courtney, he vows. If you have any suspicions, any leads, memories – don’t tell your friends, dump it on me. OK – thanks, Summer leaves. Harding’s phone goes off (and she flashes back to hearing it that night) Something wrong? Summer looks horrified.
