Billy joins Jack at the meeting (as Ashley, Neil and Lily chat in the corner) He’s not the only late one – the Hamilton’s aren’t here. Phyllis either, Billy notes – then asks what the latest ‘crisis’ is. When Hilary arrives with Devon, eager to get thinks started (without Phyllis) Ashley makes it clear they won’t be discussing HER agenda – we have new business to discuss.
Nick flashes back to him and Summer discussing Luca duping her. Phyllis comes in to announce that Summer’s not pregnant but she’s pissed that we treat her like a kid. Nick feels they dodged a bullet – we almost had Luca stuck in our lives. He’s sure he’s being the oil spills and this time he’s going down.
Summer’s surprised when Luca appears with flowers, chocolates. And on bended knee, he proposes. I’m not pregnant, we don’t have to, Summer points out. But Luca realized that having a family with Summer is completely and utterly what he wants. Summer all but swoons over the ring.
Nick ends a call booking a round trip to Newfoundland – I’ll be at the hangar shortly.
Yes, Summer nods through tears as Luca puts the ring on her finger ~kiss~ I can’t believe we’re doing this. Oh how happy and in love Summer and Luca are ~kiss~
Cane calls Jill from his new office. He’ll give her a progress report over lunch tomorrow. No, we can do this alone.
How very mysterious – who’s going to fill us in? Hilary wants to know. Lily tells Billy to sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Taking a seat, Hilary feels under attack. Devon won’t let that happen – I’ve got your back honey. As Jack calls the meeting to order, Phyllis blasts in – what did I miss? What the hell are you doing here? her jaw drops when she sees Billy.
Next: We don’t need to sit down Jill, this won’t take very long, Vikki tells Jill (as Cane watches with glee) … What’s the matter? Ashley asks Abby on the rooftop. It’s Ben, I don’t think he trusts me, Abby whines …. Lily stands and with great enjoyment makes an announcement: I am making a motion that we vote to remove Hilary off this board effective immediately.
My Thoughts: Surely, Devon’s going to reveal that he’s NOT as far up Hilary’s ass as he’s pretending to be …. Why on earth wouldn’t Jack add Billy’s name when he tells Phyllis that the board’s voting on a new member? And why wouldn’t Phyllis be curious enough to ask who it might be (since she’s sure to know them) …. Why is it always Lois who gets to ask the questions? Do the other reporters just step aside? … Why would Nick of all people want his daughter to marry a guy (never mind a guy he hates) just because she’s pregnant? Is Summer not capable of co-parenting like everyone else? Or being a single Mother? The Newman’s wrote the book on blended families …If Nick hurries to Newfoundland, he can watch St John’s 198th Regatta… I might be the only one, but I giggled when one alcoholic tells another alcoholic that donations could ‘dry up’ – for their addiction facility! A facility that has lots of board members but no boardroom. How odd …. Good luck Luca? Summer’s not entering a peeing-on-a-stick contest… OK – I don’t like saying this one bit – but Luca’s proposal to Summer was adorable and romantic. That is all.
