Natalie gripes to Luca – the pressure’s too intense (from him and Victor) Luca wants to take her to Victor (so she can explain to him what she’s NOT doing) No need for Summer to come – Natalie knows what she’s doing.
Luca blackmailed his way into Passkey, Adam tells Victor that he and Noah are working together to bring down a common enemy. Who? You.
Adam thought Luca was lying too – but Noah confirmed it. He’s pretty mad but isn’t going through with it. Marisa’s with Noah and is actually the one who convinced him to cut ties with Luca. He’s young and in love, Adam shrugs it off. Victor’s disappointed his grandson would stab him in the back (listing all he’s done for that boy) As Adam steers the conversation back to getting rid of the Santori’s, Luca barges into the office.
Abby’s already going over baby names – traditional or something unique? I’m selfish and flighty, she frets. Vikki continues to reassure – you’ve got this. Her advice? When rocking your baby in your arms, remember to show Ben attention – take care of your family.
Max doesn’t need a sex talk – he knows all about what his Dad and Abby were doing the other day. Told about the baby, Max agrees it’ll be really cool (but doesn’t look too happy as Ben goes for hot chocolate)
Lily and Jack find the lab empty – Neil’s not at any of the bars Jack checked either. Neil’s phone rings as he continues to doze. Try Sophia (in case he went to see Moses) Jack instructs Lily (who gives him a grateful hug and leaves) Calling a liquor delivery service, Jack jots down an address and runs out.
Oh God! Neil – can you hear me? Jack races into the motel room and calls 911 – I’ve got a man here who’s head’s bleeding and possible alcohol poisoning. Jack gives the address and room number. Don’t you die on me, Jack orders Neil.
After Natalie’s dismissed, Luca claims him getting involved in the Internet project was Adam’s idea. Determined to earn Victor’s trust, Luca declares Natalie a con. Adam takes Luca into the hallway – no, he didn’t tell Victor that he was in cahoots with Noah. But Luca wants Victor to know he’s on HIS team. We all know who’s team you’re on, Adam quips.
Phyllis arrives at Summer’s as summoned. What’s wrong? Something’s off – Natalie’s not as innocent as she lets on. Luca claims that Adam brought him into the project. Victor seemed surprised by this news but just told Summer she did the right thing. Natalie kept messing up (seemingly on purpose) Phyllis suggests that Natalie’s conning everyone.
Abby now at CL’s, Ben says that Max is looking forward to being a big brother – right buddy? Max fantasizes about shoving Abby down the club’s stairs. Yes, he’s OK with it – can’t wait! he lies.
As Neil lays in a hospital bed (still out) Jack updates Lily that he had stitches but will live. Because of you, she can’t thank Jack enough. He’d do the same for me, Jack’s humble. At Neil’s bedside, Lily quietly scolds her Dad (who then awakens to ask what the hell’s going on!?)
Phyllis tells Summer to listen to her gut – you have good instincts. Summer appreciates her Mom’s input – I see things more clearly after talking to you.
Vikki’s summoned Billy to the club to update that Abby’s pregnant. She’s ecstatic but scared about Max. Vikki then praises Billy on being a great Dad (and pause to mention Delia)
