Nick: I'm sorry to hear that.

Victoria: It must be the Newman curse, you know? Getting married is the easy part, but staying married is a different story.

J.T.: Hey, guys. How's it coming?

Nick: What's up, man? What do you got there?

J.T.: Heather dropped off some photos of, uh, Paul. Reed's in heaven. He's, uh, he's hanging out with Phyllis and Summer. He's loving it.

Nick: Well, I heard I missed all the fireworks at Newman.

J.T.: Yeah, you mean Billy?

Nick: And you're leaving? What's up with that? What are you gonna do next?

J.T.: I'll figure it out. I never really saw myself as a suit anyways, so I'm looking forward to the change.

Paul: Well, you said on the phone that you think that Mary Jane is still in town.

Jack: I know Mary Jane is still in town.

Paul: How? Did you see her?

Jack: Worse. I slept with her last night.

Mary Jane: (Sighs) This would be a perfect resting place for you, kitty. But I can't even give you that. No, that's kitty's tail! Oh, that horrible beast. He needs to be punished.

Ashley: Zapato? Did you run back in here?

Victor: Are you all right?

Ashley: No. No, Zapato ran after a rabbit, and I lost him somewhere. Zapato!

Victor: Sweetheart, he'll come back home. Are you all right?

Ashley: No. I-I-I gotta find the dog. Zapato? Zapato? Adam, did you find him?

Adam: I-I-I-I looked around as best I could. As--as far as I can tell, he's not upstairs.

Nick: You know, Vick and I walked away from Newman more than once. We came back.

J.T.: Yeah, well, I don't-- I don't think that's in the cards for me.

Nick: Mm. Bell-bottoms and platform heels-- yikes.

J.T.: I gotta go meet Paul, so I'll, uh, see you later.

Victoria: Yeah, see you at the church.

(Sighs)

Nick: Sis, that's kind of cold.

Victoria: Not everyone can be as deliriously happy as you are. (Shuffling pictures) You know, there sure are a lot of pictures of Mom and Dad together.

Nick: Yeah, it takes a lot to get away from his gravitational pull. I mean, look at us. We're still in orbit around him. I kind of admire J.T. for what he's doing.

Victoria: Please don't encourage him.

Nick: I mean, look at this. They were so young.

Fr. Todd: It's a long walk down that aisle.

Nikki: Todd, when did you get in?

Fr. Todd: Late last night.

Nikki: (Sighs)

Fr. Todd: You look wonderful. My brother is one lucky guy.

Nikki: Oh, well, I'm pretty lucky, too.

Fr. Todd: You know, I think back to all those years ago. This beautiful blonde walks into the room, and my brother's breath was taken away.

Nikki: Yes, I'm sure it pleased your mother no end.

(Laughs)

Fr. Todd: I think she's over it by now.

Nikki: I certainly hope so.

Fr. Todd: Well, listen, I need to go see the minister. He's an old buddy of mine.

Nikki: Okay. Listen, thank you so much for volunteering to do the rehearsal. When I found out he wasn't available, I didn't know what we were gonna do.

Fr. Todd: I am happy to be here.

Nikki: That's great.

Fr. Todd: Uh, listen, I almost forgot. I found this old photo of you and Paul.

Nikki: Oh.

Fr. Todd: I think you might like to have it.

Nikki: Wow. Thanks.

Fr. Todd: All right. Bye.

Nikki: Bye-bye.

[Nikki remembering]

Paul: We can have it, Nikki, everything we want out of life, if you'll just believe in me, trust me.

Nikki: Oh, P--

Paul: Will you do that?

Nikki: Paul, of course I trust you. You're the only person who's never let me down.

Paul: Believe me, Nikki, I won’t. You will never lose me.

Nikki: (Chuckles)

Victor: He loves you far more than you love him. That's a pity for both of you.

Paul: Nicole...

Nikki: (Sighs)

Paul: Would--

Victor: You marry me?

Nikki: It is. It's really happening.

Victor: Not unless you say so.

Nikki: Yes! Yes! Yes, I will marry you. (Laughs) (Sighs) Where did that come from?

Paul: "I knew you were still in love with me"?

Jack: She impersonated Sharon in order to sleep with me.

Paul: I-I'm sorry, Jack. You--you couldn't tell the difference between the two?

Jack: Well, I did some two-fisted drinking last night.

Paul: Okay, so there's hammered, and there's hammered.

Jack: If I didn't know better, I'd swear I was drugged, honest to God. I woke up with a killer headache.

Paul: Well, you're lucky you're still alive. You think it's at all possible she could have spiked your drink?

Jack: It was me and Billy at Jimmy's. You think that's even possible?

Paul: I don't know. Considering everything she's done, I think, yeah, it is possible.

Jack: Oh, there's one thing I haven't told you about. She left me a little present with the note.

Paul: And what is that?

Jack: It's her dead cat's tail.

Victor: Where the hell is that dog?

Ashley: Hi.

Adam: No luck?

Victor: Let me check outside.

Zapato: (Whimpers)

Victor: Hi, baby. Are you all right? You okay? We've been looking all over for you. Huh? You okay? You seem real tired, my baby.

[Nikki remembering]

Victor: I join you in marriage, Nikki, to make you my wife for the length of our days, to love and comfort you, in joy and in sorrow, to support and to care for you, to cherish and respect you and to give of myself. And together, we shall, in the sight of God, give joy to those we touch.

Nikki: (Moans)

Victor: With this ring, my darling, I make you my wife, now and forever. You and I have been here before, and we have failed. But this time, I promise you, we'll make it work.

Victoria: Mom?

Nikki: Oh, Honey, I'm sorry. I-I was just daydreaming.

Victoria: What were you dreaming about?

Nikki: How many times I have walked down the aisle.

Victoria: (Chuckles) Half of those weddings were with Dad.

Nikki: Aren't you the optimist? Do you remember what you said to me when I told you I was gonna marry Paul?

Victoria: That it was a reaction.

Nikki: To your father starting a family with Ashley.

Victoria: Oh, Mom, please. Just don't listen to me. I'm such an idiot sometimes. I see how easy you and Paul are together. It's really great. You look so happy.

Nikki: Do I?

Victoria: Are you having doubts? I will make you well, all right?

Dr. Nuñez: It seems Zapato was exposed to some sort of toxin. I need to get him to the clinic right away.

Victor: Can you save him?

Dr. Nuñez: I can't treat him until I know for certain what he's been exposed to.

Ashley: (Sighs) This is my fault.

Adam: No, it's nobody's fault.

Ashley: They were spraying for ticks out by the stables a couple days ago, and I-I should have kept him on a leash. I'm so stupid.

Victor: When did you see him last?

Adam: (Scoffs) A few hours ago.

Victor: Dr. Nuñez, could this have been done intentionally?

Dr. Nuñez: Well, I'll know more after the blood work.

(Cell phone rings)

Victor: Excuse me. Yes?

Paul: Um, Mary Jane surfaced. Yeah, Jack-- Jack ran into her last night.

Victor: So she's in town. It so happens that my dog was just poisoned.

Paul: Well, you think there's a connection?

Victor: I wouldn't rule it out, would you? Why don't you come over?

Paul: Uh, no. I got a-a wedding rehearsal in a couple of hours. I'm going to, uh, well, I'm just about to ask J.T. to cover for me.

Victor: (Sighs) All right.

Paul: I'll be out of contact for a couple of days. I hope you catch her.

Victor: You bet.

J.T.: Now you are working way too hard for a man who's about to get married.

Paul: Yeah, well, I'm just about to dump some of it on you.

J.T.: Dump away.

Paul: First, the rings.

J.T.: All right. Not too bad. I'll guard 'em with my life... um, although I might hock 'em now that I'm out of a job.

Paul: Yeah, well, that's the second thing. You know, you turned into quite an investigator when you worked for me.

J.T.: Thank you.

Paul: But you really hit your stride working for Newman.

J.T.: You gonna try to talk me into going back? "Williams & Hellstrom Investigations." What, are you offering me a job?

Paul: Partnership.

J.T.: (Sighs)

Victoria: Mom, you know, everyone gets cold feet before their wedding.

Nikki: I ran into your father this morning. He started me thinking.

Victoria: Nick said something very true. It's hard to pull out of Dad's gravitational pull.

Nikki: He's right.

Victoria: But it makes sense that you'd be thinking about him today. It's healthy. It's--it's good for you to get-- get it all out of your system, you know?

Nikki: Thank you, wise daughter, for that very good advice.

Victoria: (Sighs) I just wish I knew what to do for myself.

Nikki: What do you mean? Are--are you and J.T. having problems?

Victoria: You know, Mom, people have ups and downs. You can focus on the negative, or you can focus on the good.

(Chuckles)

Nikki: Yeah.

(Cell phone beeps)

Victoria: Oh. I have a couple of errands to run, so I'll see you.

Nikki: Okay, Baby.

Victoria: All right.

Nikki: Thank you.

[Nikki remembering]

Victor: How do I look?

Nikki: You look wonderful.

Victor: You sure? It's a very special occasion, you know. I don't want to disappoint my daughter.

Nikki: Victor, she's just a baby.

Victor: Yeah. My God. (Sighs) My baby.

Nikki: You know, there's nothing, nothing in this whole world that makes me happier than knowing that you're the father of my baby.

Victor: What's all this here?

Nikki: Oh, let's see. We need a little powder base. Open it.

Victor: Powder base.

Nikki: There we go.

Victor: Is that it?

Nikki: Uh-huh. Now you just put-- (inhales deeply) Put a light coat of that all over my face.

Victor: Hmm? Are you seducing me?

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: Hmm?

Nikki: Oh, stop talking and take me upstairs.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: (Sighs)

Victor: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

Nikki: (Chuckles)

Victor: My goodness. I think she's seducing me.

Nikki: (Laughs)

Victor: Aw, he's so cute. I think he'll be good for both of us.

Nikki: Well...

Victor: Huh?

Nikki: He is cute.

Victor: Oh, yeah, adorable.

Nikki: But it's not good when they eat your shoes.

Victor: Oh, come on. It was just a little slipper. Just a little slipper, that's all.

Nikki: (Sighs)

Victor: Besides that, it gave me an idea for his name, you know. "Zapato" means--

Nikki: I know, I know. "Zapato" is "Shoe" in Spanish.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Ashley: (Sighs) Is he dead?

Dr. Nuñez: I'm sorry.

Ashley: Oh, God.

(Sobs)

Adam: He's at peace.

Victor: I want to know if he was poisoned, okay?

Dr. Nuñez: All right.

J.T.: You're serious about this?

Paul: Yeah, why don't you talk to Victoria about it?

J.T.: No, I don't need to talk to her. I'm in, partner.

Paul: Great. That's terrific.

J.T.: (Chuckles)

Paul: All right, what do you say we start on our first case?

J.T.: Hey, why not?

Paul: Mary Jane Benson.

J.T.: Uh, that's the woman who fed Summer peanut butter cookies, right?

Paul: Right, and Ashley's tormentor.

J.T.: Any idea why she's doing any of this?

Paul: No. She seems fixated on Jack Abbott.

J.T.: I should have followed my instincts when I caught her sneaking around the ranch.

Paul: Mary Jane Benson is dangerous.

Jack: Hey, there.

Nikki: Hey. What are you doing here?

Jack: Oh, Paul told me I might find you here. I wanted to wish you well.

Nikki: Well, that's very sweet.

Jack: Hey, as one of your ex-husbands, I had to vet you for Paul.

Nikki: You've been a good friend the last few years.

Jack: I hope you and Paul will be truly happy.

Nikki: Thank you, Jack. I wish that for you and Sharon, too. I know how much she and this baby mean to you. Do you ever think about...?

Jack: If our child hadn't been stillborn?

Nikki: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. All the time. Things would have turned out very differently, huh? Having a child binds people together forever.

Nikki: Oh, yes, like Victor and me.

Jack: Part of why we didn't make it.

Nikki: (Sighs) That, and too many reasons to count.

Jack: (Chuckles) Our child would be a teenager now.

Nikki: Well, shall we light a candle for him?

Jack: Yeah.

Nikki: (Sighs)

Nikki: (Sighs) Thank you. Thank you so much for everything.

Jack: Hey, this isn't good-bye, you know. You're getting married, and you're doing the right thing in moving away from "The Mustache." You deserve a good man, a good man like Paul, who will love you and always put you first. You deserve it. Good luck.

Nikki: Thank you.

[Nikki remembering]

Victor: When you first told me about that scheme of investing $35 million into that son of a bitch's company, I warned you. Don't do business with Jack Abbott!

Nikki: So that makes it okay, huh? That makes everything all right, that you could just systematically keep me in the dark? Break the law? What is wrong with you?! God! You're sick. You're sick and obsessed. That's the only thing that I can understand. You have to win. You have to win at all costs, don't you? (Sobs) Well, this time, the cost is very high. Are you insinuating that there is nothing attractive about me except my money?

Victor: Wake up. That, to Mr. Chow, may be your most attractive asset.

Nikki: My God, this is despicable, even for you. You make me sick.

Victor: The feeling is entirely mutual.

Nikki: Do you think you're the only one with a broken heart? When I found out that you were dead, I moved heaven and earth, and shortly after I got to Mexico, they told me you were dead. End of story. Over. Cries) You know that little dive bar that you hung out waiting for Walter? Well, their vodka is vile. But it went down real well that night that I thought that you had drowned and it was my fault. (Sobs) So you're not the only one in pain, Victor. I'm in pain, and Victoria and Nicholas and Noah-- everyone loves you.

(Sobs)

Victor: I know exactly what you're trying to do. It won't work.

Nikki: What does it take to get through to you? My God! They love you! I love you!

(Sobbing)

Victor: It's a sick love. It's a love that deserves to die.

Ashley: I never should have taken Zapato down to the stables. (Cries) You're probably wondering how I'll ever take care of a baby if I can't even take care of a dog.

(Sobs)

Victor: Sweetheart, no one thinks that way. This has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault. Baby, it's not your fault. Why don't you take a little rest, okay?

Ashley: Yeah. (Sobs) Okay.

Victor: That call earlier was from Paul Williams. Apparently, Mary Jane Benson has been spotted in town. I don't want you to say a word about that to Ashley, all right?

Adam: I won't say a word.

Victor: I don't want her upset.

Adam: This, uh, this Mary Jane--she's a psycho. You think she might have had something to do with Zapato?

Victor: Well, I'll step up security around here, that's all.

Jack: Hey, Junior. Why, I left something in the car for you. Why don't you go get it?

Adam: Sure, no problem. Oh, wait. (Snaps fingers) I have an ankle monitor on. I can't leave the house.

Jack: Oh, that's right. The cops would haul you off on your butt.

Victor: Until Mary Jane Benson has been found, I don't want anyone to have access to the ranch other than immediate family, all right? Well, you take it up with me. All right.

Jack: Well, it looks like I got here just before lockdown.

Victor: I'll tell your sister you're here.

Jack: I'm not here to talk to her. I want to talk to you... about Mary Jane Benson.

Victor: What about her?

Jack: She's stalking me. Paul seems to think we should join forces. Have you seen or heard from her since the wedding?

Victor: No, but she left her calling card. My dog was killed.

Jack: What?

Victor: Zapato was poisoned. I'm sure it was her.

Jack: Poisoned?

Victor: You better double up on security around your house.

Jack: No, don't worry. That's already been taken care of. They're showing up tonight.

Victor: And do your sister a favor, and don't tell her about Mary Jane Benson, all right?

Jack: Wait, she should know about this.

Victor: No, Jack, she should not know about this. On top of everything else going on in her life, she does not need to know about that lunatic. I want her protected.

Jack: Well, you've done a bang-up job so far.

Victor: I'll pretend not to have heard that, Jack.

Nick: Hey, Mom, have you seen Vick?

Nikki: Hey, uh, she was here. She'll be back.

Nick: All right. So no wild bachelorette party with the girls?

Nikki: (Chuckles) No, not this time.

Nick: You know, wait until you see Summer in her flower girl dress tomorrow. It's amazing.

Nikki: Mm, I know she'll be adorable. Son, would you do something for me?

Nick: Anything. What do you need?

Nikki: Walk me down the aisle?

Nick: Mother, I would be honored.

Nikki: Thank you. Thank you.

Nick: I mean, do you know how many times I have wanted to give my mom away?

Nikki: (Laughs)

Nick: You know, in case I haven't told you this already, Paul gets my official seal of approval.

Nikki: Well, that means a lot to us.

Nick: I know it's not always easy to put your past behind you. It's good to see you moving forward.

Nikki: Thank you.

(Cell phone beeps)

Nick: Yep, that's Vick. She needs help unloading the car.

(Cell phone closes)

Nikki: Oh, I have wonderful children.

Nick: Paul's good for you, and he's always looked out for you.

(Machines beeping)

Nikki: (Groans) Paul.

[Nikki remembering]

Paul: Hi. Do you remember the first time we met? I'm not sure if it was the--

Nikki: Mm.

Paul: The lake or the-- the pool at, uh, Scranton Park, but I do remember the bikini you were wearing.

Nikki: (Gasps)

Paul: The one with the little hearts all over it.

Nikki: My God, you remember that?

Paul: Well, yeah. You would remember it too if you knew what you looked like in that thing.

Nikki: Oh, trust me, I did.

(Laughs)

Paul: (Laughs) Oh, man. I bought an ice cream, came over, introduced myself.

Nikki: (Laughs) oh, yeah.

Paul: "Mr. Suave." What were we, all of 17?

Nikki: If that.

Paul: And I said, "Hi."

Nikki: (Laughs)

Paul: "I'm Paul. It's hot today. I bought you an ice cream."

Nikki: (Laughs)

Paul: And you said...

Nikki: I said, "Where are my sprinkles?"

Paul: (Laughs)

Paul: (Chuckles)

Nikki: Well, I can't remember the last time I slept so well.

Paul: Oh, I don't know. Maybe it was 30 years ago.

Nikki: (Chuckles)

Paul: I mean, every moment with you, I think, is, um, special. But if you want something more or something different, I want to be able to give it to you.

Nikki: You're so sweet. I'll take what we have any day.

Paul: Any day? What about-- what about every day?

Nikki: Of course.

Paul: Every day for the rest of our lives? Nikki, will you marry me?

Nikki: I-I don't feel afraid when I'm with you. I don't feel like I have to fight to be heard. I can just be myself. And it really hit me tonight. I belong in these strong arms. So my answer is yes. Yes, yes, I will marry you.

Paul: (Laughs)

Nikki: (Giggles)

Victoria: So then-- then you have accepted Paul's offer, and you're gonna go back to private detective work?

J.T.: What, you disapprove?

Victoria: (Sighs) No, I just wish that we would've-- would've talked about it before you made a decision, that's all.

J.T.: (Sighs) What difference would it make?

Nick: Everything's out of the car. Need anything else?

Victoria: No. No, we're done, thanks.

Paul: (Laughs) Oh, hey, perfect timing. This is, uh, my brother Todd Williams. These are Nikki's kids. This is Nick.

Nick: How's it going?

Fr. Todd: Hi. Hi.

Paul: Victoria...

Victoria: How are you doing, Father?

Fr. Todd: Hi.

Paul: And Victoria's husband J.T. Hellstrom.

J.T.: Hi.

Fr. Todd: Hi. Hi. Very nice to meet you all.

Nick: Nice to meet you.

Victoria: Nice to meet you.

Paul: So, um, our minister got called away on an emergency, so Brother Todd's going to run the rehearsal.

Victoria: Oh, that's great.

Nick: Welcome to the family.

Ashley: What's going on? Are you two arguing again?

Jack: No. The last thing I want to do is upset you.

Victor: I'm sorry, Darling.

Ashley: I just want a little peace and quiet. Is that so much to ask for?

Victor: No, you can have peace and quiet. Jack, I think it's time to go.

Jack: Listen, I heard about Zapato.

Ashley: (Sighs) He was a good dog.

Jack: Hey, why don't you come home with me where you can be safe?

Victor: She is perfectly safe here.

Ashley: I'm okay, Jack. I'm gonna stay.

Jack: Okay. I'm not gonna pressure you. If you need me for anything, I can be here in a flash.

Ashley: Thanks.

Victor: Jack, excuse me a minute. If you hear anything from Mary Jane Benson, you let me know.

Jack: That goes both ways-- if you hear or see anything.

(Door closes)

Mary Jane: "Thanks for last night. I'll be by to see you again really soon. I love you."

Paul: You know how long I've waited to walk down that aisle with you?

Nikki: (Sighs) Paul.

Paul: (Chuckles) Hear that noise?

Nikki: What?

Paul: That clacking sound? Those are my knees knocking.

Nikki: (Laughs)

Paul: (Chuckles) Are you nervous about tomorrow?

Nikki: Yeah, a little.

Paul: Well, I have a present for you.

Nikki: (Clicks tongue) Paul.

Paul: It's a wedding gift.

Nikki: You shouldn't have.

Nikki: Oh!

Paul: It's an ice cream cone.

Nikki: Oh.

Paul: How we met that day at the pool-- it's been a very long journey. I wouldn't change a single step. It's what brought us together, this time forever.

Nikki: I love it. Thank you. Will you put it on me?

Paul: Sure.

Nikki: There.

Nikki: I can't wait to take the final steps of that journey with you down the aisle tomorrow.

Next on "The Young and the Restless"...

Tyra: Do you want to be with me or not?

Victoria: You're missing the point.

J.T.: No, no, I know. I get the point, okay? This is about you not having control over everything.

Sabrina: I know everything about you, and I know a secret about your baby.
