Neil calls Devon – he’ll jump on a plane right now – say the word. Of course he’d do that – you’re my son. No need, Mike and Lily are here, Devon says. Neil reassures him – Hilary’s resourceful, don’t count her out – I wouldn’t.
Marisa hovers as Noah praises Victor for welcoming Sage to the family. Yes, he hopes he’ll do the same with Marisa (who he’ll be spending a lot of time with) Marisa talks of never knowing people like Noah; people who respect one another. She’s so glad she met him.
Dylan comes home to a subdued Sharon and an excited Faith. They joke about baby names. After Faith’s sent off to make a list, Dylan asks Sharon about her tears.
Yes, Dad said he’d come, Devon informs Lily – he finally forgave us and now Hilary’s missing. Lily tells Devon to concentrate – who could she have been arguing with? Lily suggests it was someone who knew about the bachelor party – Collin?
As Collin orders a drink at the bar, Neil talks to Nikki, Cane and Lauren about Devon and Hilary making their affair worth it. If anything happens to that woman… I swear to God. Collin smirks in the background.
Sharon’s shedding happy tears. Dylan’s so happy too – he has everything he’s ever wanted.
Abby’s delighted that Vikki now wants her at NE (though Kyle wants her to stay at Jabot) Saved by the parents to be! Nick’s puzzled by the ‘socially inept’ Kevin – and Marisa and Sage are warned about the never ending Newman events. Aside, Mariah tells Kevin ‘the dork’ that he doesn’t have to announce himself as her date. Sage is thrilled that her baby will be surrounded by so much love.
Paul thanks Victor for stopping by – the investigation isn’t closed; they don’t know Harding’s motivation – he had cash in his apartment and admitted he was working for someone. I hardly knew the guy, Victor blusters – he didn’t invite Harding to his office the night he was shot. Paul’s just trying to put the pieces together – did you ever run across Marco Annacelli????
Lily calls Cane to ask if he’s seen his Dad. Yes, he’s at the club – want to talk to him? Anything wrong? Lily hangs up in a hurry and calls Collin herself. Devon grabs the phone – did you tell Hilary about the hooker? Nope – silent as a grave, Collin sneers. Is that a joke?! Did you text her?? Hilary’s missing – name your price. Collin’s sorry – I wish I could help ~click~ (he eyes Neil)
Victor certainly wouldn’t pay hush money to someone who killed members of his family – that’s absurd. There’s more to his, Paul’s sure. I bet there is, Victor agrees – perhaps Paul feels guilty that a three time killer was working right under his nose. And you had no clue???
Winning the baby diapering contest, Nick boasts that he also braids hair well. Nikki announces the next activity – everyone’s to write down some advice for the parents to be. Mariah has one – don’t join a cult. As all add their jokes, Dylan, Sharon and Faith arrive. As Vikki moves to get rid of them, Sage brushes her off to welcome them warmly. Mariah takes Sharon aside to ask how her DR appointment went. Oh, nothing unusual. As word then spreads that Dylan and Sharon are engaged, Nikki and Vikki share a look of disgust.
Back at the club, Cane relays Lily’s call to Lauren. Neil joins Collin, who expresses his sympathies over his poor daughter in law. And they’re trying to nail your son as the guilty party – not exactly a happy honeymoon. Collin takes no joy in this situation, but one of Hilary’s past victims might. Neil doesn’t appreciate Collin’s hints. YOU’RE the only one with an ax to grind – remember that. Collin repeats his sympathies – keep a happy thought. I’ll do that, Neil’s left to snarl.
Mike returns to tell Devon and Lily that someone called from the hotel to cancel the guided tour. That makes no sense, Devon balks. Are you sure? Lily asks. Mike demands ALL the information. Devon then admits there’s a chance he slept with another woman.
Today is Sage’s day, Sharon says – and Nick’s of course. Aside, Nikki glares – both her sons are too good for their own good. Nick shakes Dylan’s hand – he’s psyched for him and Sharon; our kids will grow up together. Joining the ladies, Nick jokes about them wearing matching baby slings. Vikki makes a toast – added on to by Abby. Uncle Dylan’s asked to say a few words. He plans to make up for lost time with his family and is glad he’ll have help when he’s a Dad too. Noah notices Sharon running off.
Nikki tells Nick to pick one of the advice notes from the jar – to make sure it’s up to Newman standards. Give candy to big sister. Hmm – who could that be from? Me, Faith chirps. Next – potty jokes are always funny. Mariah fesses up. Vikki’s is touching – your child will be loved and protected.
Victor stands – Paul has his respect. He shot Harding to save his son. But this case didn’t die with Harding, Paul insists. Close it and move on – have a nice day, Victor leaves Paul to scowl.
Sage reads Nikki’s well chosen words of advice. Aside, Summer and Kyle ask Marisa how she knows Marco won’t be a problem. Because I did something to him? That’s the kind of person you think I am? nose in the air, Marisa walks off for some tea. When Dylan wonders where Sharon is, Mariah hopes she’s not sick again (news to Dylan) Sage reads Summer’s advice aloud – there’s nothing you can’t handle together.
Noah finds his Mom crying in the park. Is it Dad moving on with Sage? No, Sharon’s happy for them, and moving on too. This is her new start. I can be happy too right? ~hug~ she weeps on Noah’s shoulder.
