Sampling each others dinner, Damian admits that he might be able to get over his anger about his Mom seeming to bail on his father, but not for lying to him his whole life. Lily thinks Damian should hear her out – she lost Jackson too. Think about it.
Vowing to find out about Aristotle Dumas, Mike updates Victor on his family then comments about him getting shot – we’d like you to stick around. Nikki arrives to say she couldn’t agree more.
Nikki and Mike team up to fuss over Victor (who should focus on his recovery) Slow down and let us savour every moment we have with you.
Reminiscing about a terrible cake Chelsea once baked, Adam thinks her the bravest person he knows.
Damian’s told Lily so much but knows so little about her. He’d be surprised if she was single – you’re the complete package. Lily’s single because she’s focused on her career. Both have done some research online (where there’s more information about Lily than Damian, who chalks his success up to skill and luck) He doesn’t want to over-share on their first date. Lily laughs – this isn’t a date.
Chelsea doesn’t feel brave – she’s been consumed with fear and doubt. She’s impressed with the way Adam stepped up for Connor – it made you a better man. We were both brave, she reaches across the table. Sally and Billy saw this coming before we did. Who thought we’d be here? Definitely not me, Chelsea admits.
When Mike tries to get Victor to take a weekend off, Nikki wonders why he’s been summoned to the ranch so late – and is pleased to hear that it involves helping Lily.
This is not a date, Lily reiterates – but is happy to hear that Damian’s willing to give his Mom another chance (so will be staying in town) Can I see you again? Lily’s open to negotiating that.
Lily asked you to find out about Damian Kane and that’s what lead you to Aristotle Dumas, Nikki sums it up (after Mike’s left) Victor owes it to Neil to protect Lily. Nikki will do everything she can to repair their relationship with her.
At the revolving door, Damian thanks Lily for listening – you’re a good influence on me. He gets the impression she won’t let him get away with anything. No, she won’t. After she leaves, Damian sends his Mom a text – dinner tomorrow?
Thanking Adam for dinner, Chelsea will save her cheesecake for breakfast. Tonight was good? he asks. Better than good, she rewards him with a kiss.
