Faith is the first to address the mourners; sharing a touching story – she’s with Christian now. They’re together, in heaven. Your turn Mommy. Sharon declines – but suggests Adam say a few words. Nick agrees. Beside a large framed photo of Sage, Adam talks about their ‘interesting’ friendship. She had a warmth and kindness. Nick, that woman loved you, man. Never forget that. As Nick talks about the embracing life, Dr Gates takes a seat.
Lily thinks that Abby’s just looking for someone to blame. Devon’s not so sure – Abby has good instincts. As an alarm sounds, Lily runs to Max and Charlie – did you pull the fire alarm again? Did you do this? Don’t look at him, she orders Charlie – I want the truth.
Luca visits Victor – things are getting worse. I’m working to reassure the division heads, but they question Vikki’s ability to lead in your absence. Adam won’t save the day – Nick can’t. If you really want to hurt those who’ve wronged you, you need someone on the inside. Victor makes it clear that he doesn’t want Luca with Summer and that he can still pull strings. Get out of my face. Guard!
Nick shouts from the podium – everyone’s so sorry for my loss – what do any of you know about my loss!? Nikki leads Faith off as Vikki tries to calm Nick. I never got to hold my son! It’s all Sage wanted! He’s gone forever! I don’t know how to move on! Sharon stands – you’re wrong, you’re not alone. All heads turn.
Next: You’re not going to like hearing this. I think Max set that fire, Abby tells Ben …. Marisa visits Victor – Luca’s only using Summer to get his hooks into the Newman family. I think you underestimate his ambition …. A man’s handed a large envelope to Luca. Good news or bad? Luca asks. I don’t think you’re gonna like what I found out.
My Thoughts: Victor’s punishment for unauthorized use of a phone is restricting his exercise time!? He gets enough exercise walking back and forth to the visitation room. Why not make him clean toilets? … Idiotic line of the day goes to Faith. Will it be sad? Uh, yeah. Funerals are usually sad sweetheart … Why is Sage’s funeral being held in a public park? Why aren’t the press all over it? Or joggers running through it? The Newman’s have enough property, and enough deaths per year to warrant having their own cemetery … Why do Adam and Chelsea have a piano? Neither of them play …. Anyone expecting Sharon to drop the bomb and hand Sully over to Nick in front of everyone gathered to mourn Sage will be disappointed. Let’s just hope it’s not dragged on too much longer … Summer and Luca are so unappealing I can barely keep my thumb off the fast forward button … Abby should run, not walk away from Ben and his satanic son. There’s nothing redeemable about this kid…. Summer claims that most families aren’t as lucky as the Newmans; who are ‘close’ and ‘loyal’. Loyal? Your Aunt Abby slept with your husband and you were conceived while your Dad was cheating on Sharon with Phyllis. Where was the loyalty when Victor’s kids sued him for 1.5 billion? Or when he was on the stand a few weeks ago? The only thing anyone envies about the Newmans is their money.
