In Devon’s office, Hilary’s praised for rebranding her show. She wonders if HWG can increase their bid. No, but Devon can offer something others can’t. I’m not a corporate raider. I’ll keep your staff and help you achieve your dreams.
Transfering the money from one bag to another, Chelsea can’t believe she’s handling this much cash. She plans to donate some to Nick and his Mom’s project for the less fortunate and put the rest in the bank ~kiss~
JT chides Vikki – Victor gets his way; Ashley stays and you’re going on a business trip. The trip was MY idea, Vikki needs to gain some influence with Vikki and put an ocean between herself and ‘that wicked witch’. JT’s not happy that Vikki’s leaving town. She’ll make it up to him when she gets back ~hug~
Back behind Vikki’s desk, Ashley’s already on the phone working on Abby. Vikki’s not happy. You’re the only other Abbott at NE. I’m going to need a strong ally.
Tessa follows Mariah to the patio – what did you mean ‘you didn’t get what you want’? Maybe it’s not too late for us. Mariah lists why it is – there’s nothing left. There’s no chance for us, she walks away again. Tessa looks sad again.
Hilary’s been given a lot to consider. Devon can tell that she wants to choose HWG. Whaddya say? Wanna get the band back together or what?
Next: Victor forms an unlikely truce …. Lauren gets disturbing news … a charged moment occurs between Devon and Hilary.
My Thoughts: Where exactly is HWG’s ‘legal’ department? Will Hilary agree to sell GC Buzz to Devon in exchange for him donating sperm?… Longtime viewers will remember that when Ashley was Vikki’s stepmother, Nikki actively campaigned against her by trying to brainwash a young Vikki into disliking Ashley by equating her with the ‘wicked witch’ in the child’s storybooks. It was petty; a prime example of how insecure Nikki was at the time; how consumed she was with Victor…. JT’s absolutely right about Vikki’s relationship with her Father, but he, of all people, should know that won’t change. And there was really no need for Vikki to let Victor know what JT thinks of him … Being such a loyal daughter herself, why would Vikki think that Abby would ever side with her against her Mother? … Nick just gave away 500 million – why is he acting like that little blue bag holds anything close to that? It probably isn’t even enough to renovate the bathroom. And does Chelsea really need to put money away for the boys’ future? They have Newman trust funds (and will hopefully one day be gainfully employed and able to support themselves) … I hope Mariah sticks to her guns and doesn’t cave in to Tessa’s lame attempt to entice her. If Mariah’s attracted to girls, she should start looking for one who’s not dated her brother or stolen from her.
