Cane tries to convince the kids that Juliet having a baby doesn’t have to change things – we’re a family. Cane asks the kids to have faith – it’ll be OK. Too bad you couldn’t tell the future before you hooked up with that woman in Tokyo, Charlie slams out – Mattie following. Arms crossed, Lily leaves Cane looking glum.
Hilary holds the microphone between the Dean and the Newmans. Dina thinks Jack was wrong – Nikki seems just fine. Aside, Nick’s surprised to hear that Noah’s quick thinking is what saved Abby (and the event) Mariah and Tessa discuss the wonderful Noah (as they watch Devon happily chatting with Hilary) Jack shakes his head as he watches Nikki and Victor fawn over one another. At the bar, Tessa has another run in with Zack; who then joins his ‘date’ Abby to be introduced around. Across the room, Noah relays his party-saving heroics expecting to impress his Dad (who’s NOT)
I own that equipment, Nick points out – then leaves Noah to whine to Tessa. Meanwhile, Dina praises Nikki and is charmed by Ravi. Jack takes Nikki aside to butt heads over Nikki (who was NOT forced into this by Victor) As Ashley asks Victor to go easy on Abby, Zack hits on Vikki. I see you met my half-sister, Abby appears and after Vikki leaves asks him to stay away from her. Victor takes to the stage to thank all for their generous contributions (and once again praise Nikki – and follows Nick out) Reed talks to his Mom about Mattie – she can’t talk but didn’t say why (maybe it has to do with you firing her Dad) Jack continues to worry about Nikki (who asks Vikki where Nick went)
In the underground parking lot, Nick tosses his jacket in the back seat of his car and is about to get behind the wheel when Victor slams it – you and I aren’t finished yet.
Next: Billy and Phyllis are with the kids at Vikki’s. You remember my friend Phyllis right? She’s very special to me, Billy says … Abby shouts – I’m sick of you treating me like a six-year-old! Then stop acting like one! Vikki barks back…. Hilary and Howard hide behind a car as their camera captures Victor and Nick. Mom dared to tell the Great Victor Newman what she thought of him – you’re arrogant and heartless, Nick snarls.
