Phyllis has someplace she has to be – but promises justice for Daniel and Heather very soon. This better be on the level, no tricks, she replies on her phone after leaving Daniel at Society.
Taking a seat, Devon thanks Victor for hosting the wedding. Victor’s proud to call Devon his son in law. Proud enough to make amends with Lily? Victor still feels she belongs at Winters, with Devon. Well, SHE feels she belongs at Chancellor. Ain’t gonna happen, Victor’s curt.
Lily won’t be coming back to Chancellor and you won’t be running things, Jill’s stripping Billy of his duties. This doesn’t make sense to Billy – no, we won’t talk about it after the wedding – we talk now. Jill’s sorry – she had no choice – it’s over, son.
Of course, Victor has time for his daughter. Yes, he’ll be on his best behaviour and has already welcomed Devon into the family. Abby pauses in the doorway to watch them hug.
Back at CL’s, Sharon guesses she must have left her phone at home – go, have fun with your friends, she tells Faith – I have the truth on my side.
No tricks, I swear, Phyllis reads a text as she speeds down the road.
Nikki introduces the Reverend to Vikki, Cole and Nick – then goes to ask why Victor looks so pleased with himself. Chancellor is ours, he quietly announces. The Newmans are hugging when Billy comes in to scowl – then tell Lily she better talk to Jill.
Billy Boy, Victor gloats. You won’t get away with it, Billy warns. Swallow your pride for Abby’s sake, Victor orders him.
Jill tells Ester to find an appetiser and choke on it.
As Jack looks around, begrudgingly impressed with the house, Traci tells Alan that Victor rebuilt the ranch for Nikki. It’s incredible, Kyle admires the ranch as he arrives with Claire.
Devon introduces Dom to the Reverend. Kyle and Lily both turn to glare at Audra (on Nate’s arm)
How’s our girl doing? Victor asks when Ashley comes downstairs. It’s time to walk our daughter down the aisle.
As Anna plays the piano and sings, Jack and Kyle are equally horrified to see Diane skulk in to sit beside Cole. You can’t do this – don’t take Chancellor away from me – it won’t end well, Billy hisses at his Mom. Abby meets her parents at the bottom of the staircase. Flanked by her parents, she joins her groom at the altar, where the foursome exchange air kisses and hugs.
‘Where are you’? Phyllis reads – enough Sharon. I’m on my way. Dammit – Sharon wonders why Phyllis has to ruin everything. Not this time – I won’t let you. Sharon squints into the bright lights reflected by her rear-view mirror. As her phone pings, Phyllis shouts at it some more. Now, she too, is blinded by lights.
My Thoughts: Ashley’s dress is quite unflattering – Claire should have used some self tanner if she planned to show her midrift – loved the back of Abby’s dress. Jack’s grey jacket is a nice change… What an anti-climatic wedding venue! Vikki and Nick might have fond memories of the old ranch but it has zero sentimental significance to Abby or Devon. If they wanted to get married in a living room, why not get married in THEIR living room? At least Devon is connected to the ranch (via Katherine) They couldn’t even be bothered to use chair-covers and sashes on the chairs…. Where’s Adam and Sally? Chance and Summer? Ally and Noah? Johnny and Katie? Christian? Maime? Where will the guests dine? And dance? … Ester shouldn’t have to ‘find’ an appetiser to choke on – there should be wait staff circulating with trays apps and bubbly… Chance ‘talked sense’ into Phyllis? What he did is talk a victim out of pursuing an open/shut case. And why does Phyllis make it sound like she only has one shot at charging Sharon with a crime? If she commits two crimes, she can be charged for two crimes. Heck – even these text messages are enough for Chris to raise reasonable doubt ..Is Sharon the great Houdini? How does she keep breaking in everywhere? …. Given that Faith and Lucy almost died in an accident due to distracted driving, you’d think Phyllis and Sharon would make more of an effort to keep their eyes on the road….. What’s so ‘incredible’ about replicating a house that was outdated decades ago? Perhaps it’ll serve as a timely reminder to all the naysayers that Sharon’s as much an arsonist as she is a therapist.
