You don’t know us, Nick’s pissed. Sage also defends the Newman family – they’ve been very kind to me. Dr Anderson wasn’t judging the Newman’s – just describing what Sharon told her. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Getting an emergency call about Sharon, Dr A bids the Newman’s good bye – be well. Thanks for sticking up for my family, Nick says. OUR family, Sage takes Nick’s hand.
At the bar, Hilary flashes back to Neil admitting he kept her hidden at the boathouse. She then bumps into Gwen. Yes, she’s seen Neil – devoting every waking minute to YOU. He cares about you, Hilary assures. Not anymore – he made his choice and Gwen made hers.
Devon releases Neil – I’ve been going crazy looking for my wife and my Father had her! Neil insists he’s not angry anymore – he took care of Hilary, prayed for her. Don’t blame Gwen – I tried to keep her out of it. He then called Dr Neville in – he woke Hilary up. At what cost!? Devon doesn’t see Neil as a hero – you’re a selfish bastard who kidnapped my wife. What if Hilary didn’t wake up!? Or Neville’s drugs killed her!? Neil doesn’t know. Devon does – you’d have saved your own ass (while Devon went to prison)
Now it’s attempted murder? Paul’s not buying it – you didn’t see who hit you. Who else would it be? Cane insists he’s not crazy. No one else has motive. Paul needs proof. He has a dark side, Cane knows something happened with Avery – at least bring him in for questioning. I know Joe Clark tried to kill me.
At CL’s, Joe teases Lily for devouring her dessert (and all but licking his plate) You’ve been a good friend to me. Jokes are interrupted when Joe gets a call. Paul wants to see me, he updates Lily.
Back at Fairview, Dr A thanks the staffer for handling things – I’ll take it from here. Troubled and perhaps nervous, she looks in at Sharon sleeping.
Nick and Sage return to a warm welcome from Faith and Victor. As Sage takes Faith up to bed, Nick updates that he and Sage are working through things with a therapist. Is there a reason Victor’s here? Yes – it’s about Adam.
Dr Anderson assures the sleeping Sharon that everything will be alright – you haven’t lost your baby. You’ll see.
Nick heard the latest from Vikki. He knows it must be hard for Victor to turn his back on his kid – but he must cut Adam loose. Victor hasn’t cut Adam loose. How can you give him another chance? Chelsea reminded Victor that Adam went back into the fire to save people. He thinks someone else created Paragon with Ian. Who? Billy Boy Abbott. Victor expects a dirty fight. That’s what Adam’s good at – and I’m not, Nick’s well aware.
No, Neil would never have let Devon go to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. He’d have come forward. How about the pain Devon felt – he thought someone killed Hilary. He thought he had his Father back. Congratulations on getting your revenge. Knowing Neil only confessed because Gwen forced him to, Devon says he SHOULD be worried about what he’ll do now.
Has something happened between you and Neil? Hilary’s clearly not disappointed to hear Neil dumped Gwen. But don’t get too excited – you won’t get your happily ever after, Gwen sneers. Neil’s going to prison; Devon will see to that.
Back at the tackhouse, Nick knows his Dad wants him to focus on Sage (not work) After Victor leaves, an irritated Nick tells Sage that Dr Anderson told the truth when saying Dad will do whatever it takes to protect the Newman empire. I think I just got pushed out of the family business.
Joe in his office, Paul asks where he was the night of the ransom drop. Joe doesn’t even know what day that was. As for Lily, she’s a friend. Was there ever more? After the Avery matter, Paul doubts Lily being married would deter Joe. Joe denies framing Cane or locking him in a burning building – just like he didn’t rape Avery! Told to sit down, Joe threatens to sue for harassment.
In the outer station, Cane flashes back to a previous confrontation with Joe. Have you lost your mind!? Lily marches in to defend Joe (who’s been great to her and the twins) Wake up – he wants to take you away from me, Cane’s frustrated. YOU wake up – Joe’s not the problem. YOU’RE the one pushing me away and destroying our family, Lily snaps.
What did you say?! Hilary wants to know. Nothing, Gwen just got the ball rolling – Neil’s up there coming clean right now. Hilary marches.
You’re tearing the whole family apart, Devon wonders ow will Lily react to this on top of her marriage falling apart? (he still believes Cane stole his money) Even though my wife’s back, YOU still have her. Neil was wrong and is truly sorry. Devon admits what he did (cheating) was wrong, but what Neil did is criminal. Hilary arrives to say he can’t call the police. You have no idea what Neil’s done, Devon claims. Wrong – I know everything, Hilary shocks him.
