Nikki walks into Victor’s office to express how excited she is about her upcoming role running Chancellor. She wasn’t about to lure Claire away from her nanny job – but perhaps after custody of Harrison is settled. Victor believes that will be resolved soon.
Summer thanks Chance for meeting her at the GCAC. After a much needed hug, she update that Harrison was sick and Kyle came home from Paris to blame her.
Stay where I can see you, Claire shouts into the park – then asks her Mom if she’d like to follow her footsteps and work at the family company.
Returning from their trip to LA, Alan and Traci are welcomed home by Diane.
Butting heads at Society, Billy isn’t wrong that Jack’s implying that he’ll tarnish Katherine’s legacy and the Abbott name.
Jack isn’t questioning Billy’s capabilities – but you do have a penchant for self-sabotage. You don’t want me to use the family name in case I go down in flames, Billy speculates.
Assuring Claire that there will always be a place for her at Newman, Vikki respects her decision to stay on as Harrison’s nanny – and looks impressed when she jumps up to remind the boy to stay in sight.
Back at the club, Summer lists all the people she’s sought guidance from. Chance raises an eyebrow when she gets to Victor and Summer’s ire when she complains about Audra. Ae you taking Kyle’s side??
Chance can relate to what Summer’s going through; she lost a future with Kyle and Harrison (as he did with Abby and Dom) Kyle said he’d see me in court. Hear me out, Chance suggests she really think our her next move.
If seems wrong to Jack to slap the name Abbott on Chancellor. It’s not even Jill’s name. Do what you think is best, he gives up. We have enough fighting in this family. Billy gets his brother to confide what’s been going on with Kyle.
Claire would be an asset, Nikki reassures Victor that she wouldn’t trigger her drinking. Nikki’s secure in her sobriety and finished her treatment. He looks forward to everyone taking their plae at the Newman empire.
Claire would like to accept Nikki’s job offer and work at the family business. It would be an honour to change her name to Newman. Vikkis thrilled and is sure Cole will understand.
Chance didn’t let his anger drive him when it came to Dom. Set aside your feelings, he encourages Summer to compromise and agree to joint custody. If you go to court, a judge might give you less time with Harrison.
Jack continues to update Billy on Kyle’s irrationality. Both can see that his resentment has grown and that he might have to take a fall. Jack’s only worry is that it’s a fall he won’t be able to come back from.
When Claire and Vikki arrive at Newman, Nikki and Victor express their support for her officially changing her name. Welcome to the family, Claire Newman.
Billy’s sure Jack will straighten Kyle out (like you do all of us) When Diane arrives with Traci and Alan, the five decide to have lunch together.
Chance finally convinces Summer to try again with Kyle. No matter what happens, you’re Harrison’s Mom; he adores you. Every kid deserves to feel loved and protected. Summer rewards his guidance with a kiss.
Summer again thanks Chance for talking her down. He continues to play his role as most supportive boyfriend ever.
The Abbott’s and Alan sit to discuss Ashley’s ‘excellent’ progress. Traci’s book won’t be made into a movie – but she and Alan have ‘the real thing’.
Jack declares Traci absoultely giddy. She hasn’t been this happy in a long time – and is surpised to hear that Alan plans to relocate to GC. He wants to be where Traci is.
Victor, Vikki and Nikki make plans for Claire to come into the fold once they get their hands on Chancellor.
In the park, Claire tells Summer that Harrison’s home with Kyle. It’s not her place to comment on his partnership with Audra. I deserve to know, for Harrison’s sake.
