On the patio, Sharon updates Chance that Kirsten Inc’s relaunch is next week. She doesn’t think it a bad idea that Billy mentors him. Oh, and if we weren’t dating would you be interested in Summer?

Chance and I haven’t even been on a date, whereas Summer thinks Daniel would still be with Heather if he didn’t screw up. She won’t pursue Chance because ‘he’s doing whatever he’s doing’ with Sharon. Correctly guessing what Mom’s advice was, Daniel wonders if Summer’s hoping his advice will contradict or corroborate hers.

Sharon believes Summer’s developed feelings for Chance. If we weren’t going out, would you be interested in her? Chance likes what he has with Sharon. And what is that? she wonders.

Hello Nate, Nikki makes it clear that she’s ‘not thrilled’ he shared his suspicion with Victor. Was I wrong? he asks.

Vikki has no trouble supporting Claire because she wants what’s best for her. You saved my mother’s life. I was so proud of you. Claire saw the fear and anger in her mother’s face; it would kill her to see that look again.

We just found you – give us a chance to know you, Vikki pleads. Alas, when Claire sees her parents, she braces for their look of hatred. Vikki persists – we’ll get through it together. Claire can’t – you’ll always be the parents who abandoned me – I’ll always be the woman who tortured you. Go and never come back! Leave! (she commands the woman footing the bill for her medical bills)






If there’s anything I can …. There’s not, Nikki tosses money on the bar and leaves Nate to sit at his table without taking a sip of her drink (there’s no ‘please wait to be seated’ signs or hostesses in GC’s restaurants)

Summer’s tried to distract herself with work and Harrison but is confused every time she sees Chance. Daniel diagnoses her with a hard case of ‘in-fat-you-aye-shun’. Summer has to wonder if Chance has feelings for her too. Do you have reason to believe he’s not happy with Sharon? Daniel wonders.

Sharon wouldn’t blame Chance – Summer’s a beautiful, smart, successful woman. So are you, Chance light-heartedly asks if this is Sharon’s ‘sneaky’ way of ending things with him.

Sharon most definitely is NOT trying to end things with her ‘sexy package’, she’s just not looking for a serious relationship right now (better late than never, because Sharon’s never liked being single) Chance is perfectly happy with the way things are too. He’s right where he wants to be ~kiss~

Summer tells Daniel how Sharon downplayed her relationship with Chance. That sounds like where things stand between him and Lily. No wonder Heather made a play for you – Summer decides to do the same with Chance.

When Vikki rushes into her Mom’s office in need of a private word, Audra leaves Nikki to admit that she almost took a drink. Vikki’s not surprised to hear that Nate seemed genuinely concerned about her well-being. But she’s really there to worry that she might be losing Claire – forever, this time.
