At CL’s, the Ashby’s are happy that Devon and Hilary are getting married. How did Lily’s interview with the police go? Good – she explained that the truck came out of nowhere. Mattie hopes that’ll be the end of it. Yeah, hopefully, Cane forces a smile.
On the patio, Sharon’s saddened by the news about Hilary so is even more glad that she and Nick are back on track. Nothing will stop us from getting married and living a long, happy life together, she gives Nick a kiss and leaves him to sigh alone.
Back at HWG, Mariah passionately tells Tessa that Hilary’s accident is a reminder that life is short. You have to go for what you want – and what I want is you. If you need to leave I guess I’m going with you, she decides.
Despite Phyllis’ best efforts, Hilary doesn’t want to talk about the wedding dresses. Everyone’s being so careful with their words and pretending everything’s going to be OK. But every time Hilary asks about the future, the subject is changed (by Devon, Nate, you…. etc.) I’m not going to make it am I? The doctors don’t think so, Phyllis admits. Hilary cries – it’s not fair. There’s so much I want to do. Doctor’s aren’t always right – I fought my way back from a coma, Phyllis tells Hilary not to give up. Hilary agrees and will cram as much as she can into the time she has left.
Next: Devon and Hilary celebrate their love .. Billy disappoints Phyllis.
My Thoughts: Mariah’s just embarrassing herself now and sounding whiny, desperate and pathetic. And why on earth does she say that Victor would pay for a lawyer to defend the girl who saved his daughter? Is she forgetting that Abby has at least half a billion dollars? Having stalked her when she was engaged to Tyler you’d think Mariah would know that Abby wouldn’t need her Dad’s money to pay for Crystal’s defense (if she wanted to) … Hilary’s pending death has to be the worse kept secret ever. Funny how Hilary is so clear-headed when she should be in a fuzzy morphine cloud. It doesn’t appear that the internal bleeding is causing her any discomfort, never mind pain. There doesn’t even seem to be an IV for pain meds so I guess she’s being given extra strength Tylenol every 4 hours or something. It’s also surprising that Hilary wouldn’t mention filming her nuptials for the Hilary Hour… No, Mattie. No, Cane. The interview Lily did today with the police won’t ‘be the end of it’. Because the truck driver will also be questioned. As will anyone else who witnessed the accident; other drivers who were stopped at the light, bystanders like Shawna – and Charlie (who was in the back seat yet managed to also recieve absolutely no injuries – not even a bruise from a seatbelt) Lily could (and should) be charged with something … Nice to hear that someone hasn’t forgotten about Sam. I had. Poor kid seems to be under lock and key and held hostage by a nanny .. How can Dark Horse have a ‘brand’ for a PR firm to promote? No one has any idea of what the company actually does. And unless it’s selling a service or product to the public (which it isn’t) why does the public need to know about it? Who are these talented executives Nick hired? His former step-father only serves as a consultant, his half-sister has only worked at Daddy’s company and his fiancee runs a coffee shop. His Mother and Vikki (arguably the only executives) turned him down – as did his daughter (who no one would consider a tallented executive)
