Victoria: Oh, hey. I'm -- I'm so sorry.

Avery: Oh, that's okay.

Victoria: Uh, so... [Chuckles] The trends for 2013 are neutral colors with some graphic pops or elegant sophistication -- you know, crystal, gold silverware, that sort of thing. Which it, uh -- it's not exactly you and Nick, but, you know, we can tweak that to fit your sensibilities. Or we can completely buck the trends, which is, frankly, why trends are created -- to be bucked. I'm so sorry. Am I going too fast for you? I just really love this kind of stuff. I planned a couple of weddings for myself, uh, and my friends and my parents, too. Honestly, I should probably have been a wedding planner!

Avery: Victoria, stop. Stop.

Victoria: Oh, I know. I'm sorry. I am going too fast. It's just that I haven't done anything this exciting in a long time, and, you know, your wedding is just --

Avery: It's a pipe dream. And it might not even happen.

Victoria: Wait. Hold on. Why wouldn't your wedding happen?

Avery: [Sighs]

Dylan: And this one right there -- that's my favorite one. Hey, Nick!

Nick: What's up?

Dylan: Thank you for, uh, the gift you and Avery sent. It's pretty cute stuff.

Nick: Uh, yeah! Yeah. Uh, Avery's got a real eye for cute stuff.

Dylan: I know Chelsea's probably gonna want to send a photo of the baby with the thank-you notes, but until then...there is the man himself!

Nick: May I?

Dylan: Yeah! I even got a new phone because of him. You know you can keep like 1,000 pictures on that thing? It's crazy.

Nick: And you won't believe how fast you'll fill this up. That's awesome. That's a good-looking boy you got, there, Dylan.

Dylan: Takes after his mom. They're crashed out right now. I even take pictures of Connor sleeping.

Nick: Oh, baby sleeping's the best, like when they pass out on your chest. You don't want to go anywhere for like 2 hours. But trust me when I say this -- that goes by quick. One day, you'll blink, and... your baby will be gone.

Abby: How much did it cost you in bribes and palm-greasing?

Adam: The alleged victim admitted it was a lie. And now everyone knows.

Abby: Wow! A crime you didn't actually commit! Well, you may have tortured my mom and Sharon and everyone else in this town, but at least you're not a vicious predator. Good for you, Adam! We should throw a parade in your honor!

Adam: Let's commemorate the event on this day every year by having everyone in Genoa City tell the truth for 24 hours.

Abby: You know, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you really think that's a good idea.

Adam: Does it really matter? Because in 10 seconds, when you walk away, you'll completely forget this conversation ever happened.

Abby: [Laughs] Probably. Well, I will see you at the next Newman to-do. Try not to get shot at the next one.

Adam: Don't you worry. I've learned how to bob and weave! Hey. It's me. Give me a call. Uh, by the way, the charges were dropped. This thing we've been working on -- the next step is a bit tricky. It's time to bob and weave.

Nikki: "I know you're torn about digging into this, but you have nothing to be ashamed of. And you certainly don't have to carry this alone any longer. You're the one who helped me understand the value of sharing things with loved ones right before my surgery. My dearest Nikki, I cannot impress upon you enough how important I feel this is for you, especially now. My waning days have given me clarity. I see what truly matters in one's life. This matters! Perhaps nothing matters more."

[Door shuts]

Victor: Hi, Sweetheart.

Nikki: Hi, Darling.

Victor: What's the matter?

Avery: Our first choice for our reception location and the chapel were both booked, and so are our second choices, our third choices, our twelfth choices. I mean, this is insane! You cannot get married without notice! You can't. You have to book things months in advance, right? But we didn't do that, because we were on again. We were off again. There were extenuating circumstances, and now poof! There's not gonna be a wedding.

Victoria: Okay. Listen to me. Thank you. [Clears throat] We can and we will find a location.

Avery: [Sighs]

Victoria: You can and you will say your vows to my brother, all right? We just might have to, um -- we might have to push the date.

Avery: I'm not pushing the date. No, that is what got us in this mess in the first place. If we don't do it now, it might not happen!

Victoria: Don't say that! Don't say that the wedding is not gonna happen, okay? I am saying, as your party planner and as the groom's sister, I'm on it!

Avery: All of it? I mean, you may be able to find us a location, but... [Sighs] Can you get Faith to stop hating me? And can you get Sharon to stop looking at Nick like he's the last tall drink of water in the desert?

Noah: Nice hours at Jabot.

Tyler: Yeah, I know. You're welcome for the job.

Courtney: Hey! Aren't you usually here earlier, you know, doing all that manly grunting at the gym while some of us are trying to watch our important morning game shows?

Noah: Late start.

Courtney: Meaning late evening?

Tyler: No! He's, uh, been on the sofa alone. Yeah, he's got no excuse to be so slack.

Courtney: [Scoffs] Noah, come on. I expect a little more out of you. Got to step up that social calendar.

Tyler: See? It's unanimous.

Courtney: [Laughs]

Noah: Thank you.

[Cell phone buzzes]

Courtney: Oh. Um, it's your sister. I got to go. Bye.

Tyler: What is the deal?!

Noah: What?

Tyler: That woman wants you! And you just stand there?

Noah: "That woman" is Summer's best friend.

Tyler: Okay, which means she knows plenty about you, and she still likes you anyway.

Noah: [Chuckles]

Dylan: Is that what you mean -- baby's gone?

Nick: Yeah. I don't know what you've heard about my situation, but, um... I pray you never go through something like this. You know, Connor's your son in every way possible. Right now, for me to stay Summer's dad, I have to keep my distance and hope that the rest of her family leave her in peace.

Nikki: It's Katherine. I hear her voice in my head. Of course, I can't talk back to her. Can't ask her for any advice. I can't even have any tea with her. She helped me get through so many things. I don't know how I would've survived without her. She was a shoulder to cry on -- that's for sure -- and a kick in the pants.

Victor: [Chuckles]

Nikki: And she said things that needed to be said, whether people wanted to hear it or not.  

Victor: That she did, and she told me many times. And I miss her more than I... care to admit. But, listen. I'm here. You can talk to me, all right? Tell me anything. So talk to me.

Nikki: All right. I will.

Avery: I can't fight Nick's first love, Sharon. And the thought of hurting his relationship with his little girl? I mean, maybe -- maybe there's just not enough room for me in Nick's life.

Victoria: Oh, Avery, come on. That is not true, okay? Yes, Sharon was Nick's first love. But she's not the same person that she was at all. Well, my mom would argue that this has always been the real Sharon, but Nick's not interested in Sharon, okay? She's just not a threat.

Avery: Well, she'd like to be.

Victoria: But she's not, okay? She lost a long time ago. And as far as Faith goes -- yeah, blended families are tricky. I mean, look at me. I've got Reed and Delia and Johnny and all these other parents involved. It's complicated, but it can work! I mean [Chuckles] I've been a-a mom and a step-mom, and it's not always easy having exes around. But, you know -- [Sighs] If it's what's best for the kids, then it's just what you do.

Avery: Right, but I don't know that everybody can do that.

Victoria: No. No, they can't. But you and Nick can. And, honestly, you're not allowed to get cold feet, okay, because Nick has hit the wife jackpot in you, finally, and you're stuck with him, and you're stuck with his crazy family. So can we please just get back to choosing some colors, here?

Avery: Okay.

[Laughing]

Avery: For my parking-lot wedding, complete with pizza and a 12-pack?

Victoria: No! Don't say that, because Nick would actually like that!

Avery: I know!

Victoria: And, besides, I happen to know every caterer in town, so this wedding is full steam ahead.

Avery: [Laughs]

[Keyboard clacking]

Nick: I don't remember smiling when I was doing the taxes when I owned this place. I doubt Kevin did, either.

Dylan: Well, Nick, you must not be familiar with IRS form 2554-xyz. It's great. No, it's not really. I'm just trying to get through these quickly so I can get home to Chelsea and Connor. I want to leave work here and just be able to focus on them.

Nick: Bucking the trend. You have a newborn. You're not supposed to be sleeping right now.

Dylan: Man, it's, uh -- it's got to be delirium, because I feel good. I mean, I-I feel great, actually. And congratulations with the wedding coming up, right?

Nick: Yeah! Yeah. Can't get here soon enough.

Dylan: Yeah. Chelsea and I had a rush job, too, but I wouldn't change a second of it.

Nick: Well, I'm glad things are working out for you. Makes it easier for everyone.

Courtney: Hi, Mr. Newman.

Nick: Hey, Courtney.

Courtney: Bye.

Nick: Bye.

Courtney: Okay. So...last night, you're all, "I need to leave town, get out of here." And then, now, you're here, and your dad -- well, one of your dads is in the other room, and then that S.O.S. message. What is going on with you?

Summer: You just said what's going on with me. I am the girl with two dads, the girl with two families that hate each other, and I am now the trophy for them to fight over.

Courtney: Okay, but, Summer, your dad is in the other room. He's not all up in your face.

Summer: No. He's actually been pretty great... besides lying to me for my entire life. And the fact that my mom's in a coma, and every time I get a call, nothing has changed -- she hasn't woken up, and... I swear I'm about to lose it. And I might have already.

Courtney: Summer, breathe.

Summer: [Exhales]

Courtney: I'm here to talk you down. I know that's why you called me.

Summer: Actually, I -- I called to say goodbye.

Tyler: All right, so, Courtney -- she's funny. She's smart. I mean, you think she's cute, right?

Noah: Oh, man, she's -- she's more than cute. She's got one of those, like, perfect faces. I love how her little nose -- it kind of turns up at the end.

Tyler: Whoa! What?! This girl is smoking hot from head to toe. You're talking about her damn nose?

Noah: It's so cute!

Tyler: That's messed up. All right! Yeah. She's got a perfect face. I don't understand why you can't ask her out.

Noah: I told you, man. She's my little sister's best friend.

Tyler: Yeah, but Summer's not your sister.

Noah: Okay, she isn't, but... she is.

Tyler: She isn't, but she is. And that's enough to keep you from asking out the girl with that cute, little nose?

Noah: You don't understand, man.

Tyler: You're right! I don't understand any of this! That's exactly what I've been saying. I mean, I used to ask out Leslie's friends all the time.

Noah: No, it's not the same thing. She's older than you are.

Tyler: You're damn right, and I learned a whole lot from those older girls.

Noah: [Chuckles] Okay. Look, I just don't want anybody getting the impression that I'm taking advantage of her.

Tyler: Okay. Noah, look. I've known you for a while now, man. You're a good guy, all right? No one is gonna think that you're trying to take advantage of anybody.

Noah: [Grunts] Good guy, huh? I got a mean streak, you know. When I used to play hockey, I spent a lot of time in the penalty box.

Tyler: [Laughs] Okay, tough guy. So that's what it's gonna take, huh? You got to lace up some skates to show a little backbone?

Noah: I'm just saying, man. I'm not really the naive pushover that a lot of people think that I am, okay? I've made some mistakes, and I don't want Courtney being one of them.

Tyler: Okay. I get that. But all I'm saying is that if you like the girl and her oh-so-perfect face, there shouldn't be anything standing in your way.

Nikki: There are so many things to say, and it's so hard.

Victor: Well, say it!

Nikki: Oh!

Adam: Morning.

Victor: Son, now is not the time.

Nikki: Good morning! No, uh, I-if Adam is here, it must be important.

Adam: Nikki's right. This probably shouldn't wait.

Nikki: And I have a million things to do for Katherine's memorial. I've only been able to check off two items.

Victor: Are you sure?

Nikki: Hey, I'm on a mission. You can't stop me.

Victor: Okay, Sweetheart.

Nikki: Don't worry about me, okay?

Victor: Okay.

Nikki: I'll be fine.

Victor: Okay. Go.

Nikki: Bye-bye.

Adam: Nikki. So, it's official. The rape charges have been dropped. Melanie officially recanted her entire story on her own, no bribes.

Victor: How and why?

Adam: She was prompted by one of my many supporters. But, as Nikki said, we should talk things business -- Chancellor Industries.

Victor: No, I won't discuss it now.

Adam: No, no, no, no. You said that before, when the pain was still too fresh.

Victor: Son, it is still very fresh. We will not discuss it, okay?

Adam: It's the opportunity of a lifetime, and anyone and everyone can see that, except for you.

Victor: Who is anyone and everyone? Who else is in on this plan of yours?

Abby: Well, hello, there, strong, buff, young men!

Tyler: What -- I'm too sweaty for a hello kiss?

Noah: [Groans]

Abby: Oh, I have seen you sweaty before.

Noah: Okay! [Stammers] Uh, you're still my aunt! Maybe we could ease up on the public displays of disgusting!

Abby: Well, luckily for you, Noah, I have to get to work. Otherwise, I would really embarrass you. I have to get all that stuff off my plate for that concert.

Noah: Who you guys seeing?

Tyler: Uh, Vampire Weekend.

Noah: Really?! I'm jealous.

Abby: So come with us!

Noah: Be your nephew and a third wheel? I'll pass.

Tyler: Come on! Uh, bring Courtney!

Noah: Enough with the Courtney talk!

Abby: What Courtney talk?

Tyler: Okay, she is totally into him, and he is painfully single! I mean, like, it's depressing to come home to.

Noah: Okay. You know what? The place was jumping until you got all "Am I too sweaty to kiss?"

Abby: And that's my fault. Good to know.

Noah: Well, some of us can't settle down overnight.

Abby: Oh, no one's...settled down. [Chuckles]

Tyler: Nah. Look. He doesn't get out much. Don't expect him to understand.

Noah: Look, I get out enough to know that there is no upside to going on a date with my sister's best friend.

Abby: Wait, Courtney? Summer's cute friend? You have done a lot worse.

Noah: Mm.

Abby: Plenty of times! I'm actually interviewing her today for an internship at Jabot.

Tyler: Ah! New Jabot intern, new Jabot photographer --

Noah: Photographer's assistant.

Tyler: But it still sounds like a match.

Abby: This is getting good!

Courtney: Goodbye? No. Mnh-mnh. No. Unacceptable. Can we just go back to me talking about talking you down, and it'll all be okay?

Summer: Look, I just -- I can't deal with it, okay -- my dads, my families... being around Kyle. I mean, maybe I'll just go stay with Daniel. He's still my brother, and I miss my mom, so... maybe sitting next to her each day will help the both of us.

Courtney: Okay. Well, I don't mean to make this all about me, but... what about me? Come on! I'd miss you...a lot.

Summer: Yes. That is why there is FacePlace and texting.

Courtney: You know, I'm going in for that internship at Jabot today. Exactly. Who would I celebrate with if I got it?

Summer: You... working.

Courtney: I know. My parents want me to get serious, and we all know makeup is about as serious as I get.

Summer: Okay, well, who are you meeting with, 'cause I'm probably related to them now.

Courtney: Abby.

Summer: I am double-related to her!

Courtney: So, then, do you want to come with me?

Summer: Yeah. That looks really professional.

Courtney: I know, but... it might be the last time we get to hang out.

Summer: Yeah. I can do introductions. There's nothing unprofessional about that. My last good deed before I leave town.

Nick: Hey, Mom!

Nikki: Hi, Son! How are you?

Nick: Good! How are you? Are you, uh, meeting Victoria for some wedding planning?

Nikki: No, I just had to get out of the house. Adam is over there with your father. They're concocting something to take over the world.

Nick: Hmm. Well, that never chased you out of your home before. Something else going on?

Victoria: No. Saw blades don't just break. [Scoffs] Well, obviously, I've never used one, but I would assume that they don't! Billy, why couldn't you have just waited for Dylan? Okay! All right. [Stammers] Fine! Talk to you later!

Avery: That sounded pleasant.

Victoria: [Sighs] No! You know, now that Billy and I are in a good place, I can go back to being seriously annoyed with him over stuff like the fact that On the Boulevard is completely booked, and they don't even have any wait-staff for an offsite wedding.

Avery: Okay. Uh, what was that I heard about a saw blade?

Victoria: Oh, Dylan is supposed to be building us this bookcase.

Avery: Oh, that's right. Nick mentioned something about that.

Victoria: Right, right. But, obviously, that's on hold with the new baby and the wedding and all that. But could Billy wait? No! No, he couldn't. So now I'm going to have lumber and tools that he doesn't know how to use in my living room for the next couple of months.

Avery: Well, I will bet Dylan is having the time of his life with his new boy. That kid... has the perfect dad.

Victoria: Yeah. Probably. Yeah.

Avery: What do you mean, probably? You don't think Dylan's gonna be a good father?

Adam: I took a poll at the gym -- take over Chancellor, not take over? Don't worry. I made everyone pinky-swear to secrecy.

Victor: Really? Poll at the gym? That's very reassuring.

Adam: No. I spoke to some of the top brass at mergers and acquisitions, the ones that know how to be discreet. And they agreed this is the most profitable move that Newman can make right now.

Victor: At what cost?

Adam: An appropriate and a respectful amount.

Victor: And where, pray tell... do you get this appropriate and respectful amount -- from the mysterious investor you never introduced me to?

Adam: Hey, the investor that helped us get Newman back and take it private -- the move that you approved? 'Cause as I recall, you were willing to tell everyone that you trusted me, and it was based on that trust that I made that move.

Victor: And now the company is private again. And you and this mysterious investor have some new plans... using the reputation of my company as a shield.

Adam: Our company's reputation.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Son... a lot of time has passed. I still don't know who the hell this investor is. And I don't know how much money you want to borrow. At what cost?

Adam: And no good deed goes unpunished... usually by you? This last time you didn't trust me, it ended up in a draw. You pull one on me. I pull one on you. And we have a little by-product called Melanie who almost gets me sent to jail. What's gonna happen the next time you don't trust me? Am I gonna get the chair?

Victor: [Chuckles] You know, I can promise you something from the bottom of my heart. I trust you. ...As much as you trust me.

Victoria: [Chuckling] No, I -- no, I think that Dylan will be a great dad!

Avery: Well, the way you reacted --

Victoria: I -- Avery, listen. Dylan is a great guy. I mean, he's great. I wish he was at my house right now, building a bookcase.

Avery: But you --

Victoria: But, I-I mean, maybe if you saw a reaction -- I don't know -- maybe it's because my mind wandered or something.

Avery: Where?

Victoria: [Scoffs] What? I just -- well, you know, Billy... fathered a child with Chelsea, and I'm Johnny's mom. Um, you know the history. So maybe when I said -- maybe when you said that Dylan would be a great dad, I-I -- why are you even asking me this, anyway? Don't you think that Dylan will be a wonderful father?

Avery: I do, and that's why I said it! You're the one -- you know what? This is ridiculous.

Victoria: It is ridiculous!

[Both chuckle]

Avery: This is --

Victoria: Yeah, it's ridiculous. So, uh...I'm sure it's just bride-to-be jitters. Getting someone off of death row is awesome, but planning a wedding and blending a family is -- you know, it's nerve-wracking. [Clears throat] You know what? I'm gonna head to the Athletic Club and remind them what amazing members and generous tippers the Newmans are.

Avery: [Laughs]

Victoria: Get used to that name opening doors for you. [Laughs]

[Door shuts]

Nikki: Well, I must really look like a mess, because your father asked me the same thing, and I will tell you what I told him. I just lost my best friend, Katherine, all right? [Voice breaking] I had her friendship, her love, for so many years, and I was not ready to lose it yet, and... I'm not quite myself, okay? I think maybe her memorial is too soon. I'm just not ready for it, so I'm sorry.

Nick: Okay. All right. Can I help, then? I'll do whatever you want. Ca-- I'll buy you some tea. I'll do anything.

Dylan: What kind of tea? It's on the house.

Nick: Oh, uh, Dylan, this is, uh -- this is Dylan McAvoy. He owns Crimson Lights. Dylan, this is my mother, Nikki Newman.

Dylan: Pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Newman.

Nikki: Please, call me Nikki. I-I've heard about you. You're doing a project for Victoria, aren't you?

Dylan: I'm afraid that's on hold -- uh, a new addition to the family.

Nikki: Oh! Congratulations.

Dylan: Thank you. I'll grab that tea.

Nikki: Thank you!

Nick: Thank you.

Nikki: Do you know that Summer's sitting out there?

Nick: Yes. I am trying to give her her space and...hope that everyone else does, too.

Nikki: Jack and your father.

Nick: Or everyone.

Nikki: Well, that -- that's very sweet of you, Honey.

Nick: Mom?

Nikki: Hey. Grandmas are exempt from space.

Courtney: I really wish you wouldn't leave.

Nikki: Summer! Hi!

Summer: Uh, hi, Grandma!

Nikki: How are you?

Summer: Hi! Good! I was actually just leaving. I was gonna introduce Courtney to Abby.

Nikki: Oh! Um, gosh. I was hoping to just have a minute.

Courtney: Oh! Um...I can totally grab, like, a brownie or something. It's fine.

Nikki: Thanks.

Summer: Thanks.

Nikki: Can I sit?

Summer: Yeah.

Nikki: Oh, it's so good to see you. My beautiful Summer. I just want you to know that every morning and every night, I am thinking about you, trying to send you strength...peace. I hate that you have to go through so much all at once.

Summer: It's just that every second of the day is spent either missing my mom or trying to figure out all of this about my families.

Nikki: I hear you. But let me tell you this. Your dad and Jack and your grandpa -- they love you more than anything in the world. Now, they are strong and stubborn and opinionated, and, by the way, did I say stubborn? [Laughs] I have been 'round and 'round with them a million times. But it wasn't until I lost my dearest friend Katherine that I realized that you can't... risk life or the people that you love. It's too scary! You have to share yourself with people, you know? You have to reach out and... make friends! Don't push them away! And I know that's scary. It's hard to be vulnerable, and you don't know how things are gonna turn out, so it's scary. But there are so many people in Genoa City who love you. And it is always better to bring people towards you than to push them away from you. Believe me. I know this. And there's a whole lot worse in this world. Okay?

Summer: Yeah.

Nikki: I love you so much!

Summer: I love you, Grandma.

Nikki: You be a good girl.

Summer: I will. Thank you.

Nick: You got a hug.

Nikki: I think she's gonna leave town. You can't let that happen.

Avery: Hey, there, proud papa!

Dylan: Hey! Thanks, uh, for the onesie. Connor can't wait to wear it.

Avery: Oh! Nick and I were happy to send it.

Dylan: Yeah, except, uh, Nick didn't know about it. But he covered, sort of. Why didn't -- why didn't you tell him?

Avery: Uh, it just didn't come up!

Dylan: Right. Well, I got to ask. Am I still causing trouble between you and Nick?

Avery: Nick and I are fine! Honestly, with all the wedding planning, I guess it just slipped my mind to tell him about the baby gift, that's all.

Dylan: Good. I don't -- I don't want to mess things up between you two.

Avery: No.

Dylan: My life, I just -- [Sighs] I never expected any of this. It's like it happened how it was supposed to. And I'm just relieved because, for the first time in my life, I'm in the right place at the right time.

Avery: Perfectly at peace. That's how I feel with Nick.

Dylan: Best feeling in the world, right? I mean, you should see this picture I took of Chelsea and the baby this morning. It's --

Avery: I would love to see a picture, if you have one.

Dylan: Are you sure?

Avery: Yes. Of course. He's perfect.

Dylan: Yeah. That was from this morning. And, by the way, the lion onesie -- I knew it was from you.

Avery: [Sighs] Well, you always said you wanted your son to be lionhearted. I remember you bought that stuffed lion when I was... your son is gonna be brave and strong, just like his daddy.

Summer: Abby, this is Courtney! You're going to adore her. Everybody does.

Tyler: Mm. Is that right?

Abby: Then I can't wait to get this interview started! Shall we?

Noah: Dude, stop! Enough! You and Abby were like, "Oh, no! We're not getting all settled down!" You can't stop watching her!

Tyler: Okay, you know what? That's your first clue, all right, because people who are settled down -- they don't bother watching each other in action anymore.

Noah: In action. She's conducting an interview. He finds Abby's work-related skills hot. Does that sound normal to you?

Summer: Look, I am not the expert on normal, but I do know you pretty well, and it seems like you have the hots for my best friend.

Abby: I love how into Jabot you are, but I have to be honest. Most of our interns are already in college, or they have some sort of experience.

Courtney: My experience is all practical with makeup. For example, um, I can tell that you're wearing Jabot's shimmer BB cream, the First Kiss mineral blush, LBD mascara, and Hot for Teacher lip gloss. The end result is flawless Jabot. Oh, but, F.Y.I. -- I could tell that there was some of your lip gloss on Tyler's cheek, so maybe next time, you just want to do an extra blot.

Victor: Let me ask you something, Son. Why should I give you complete trust... when you are withholding important information from me?

Adam: Complete? No, no, no. Let's not get carried away, here, all right? I just need a sliver of trust. That would be novel. Look. This investor's not gonna come banging on the door, making demands. Of that, I can assure you. I give you my word, whatever my word is worth to you. Now, can we move on and talk about Chancellor?

Victor: Why are you so interested in this deal?

Adam: 'Cause I like winning! I like making money! Isn't that the point of this game we call business? Speaking of business, this is personal to you. Katherine Chancellor? So that's why I don't understand why you're not doing your damndest to protect her legacy! Who's gonna run that company, Dad? Is it gonna be Ashby or Esther? Murphy? That company could go poof and just disappear, or it could be stronger and more robust with you in charge.

Victor: Now, if Katherine had wanted me to run the damn company, don't you think she would've told me?

Adam: Or she could've decided to spend the last few weeks of her life on this earth living it rather than talking about business.

Victor: Are you able to read minds... and ascribe motives to a...

Adam: [Sighs]

Victor: ...Very sick, old woman?

Adam: The various sub-par execs over there at Chancellor, they're gonna be waging war soon. They're gonna go to war, or we can prevent that -- a preemptive strike. And you can honor Katherine's legacy by doing what you do best.

Victor: I'll give it some thought, Son.

Adam: Good.

Victor: ...On one condition.

Tyler: Oh, perfect. You're awesome. I just scored you some tickets to the concert tonight. You are going.

Noah: Don't you have a job that isn't running my life?

Courtney: You are the best interview coach ever! [Laughs]

Noah: I take it you got the job?

Courtney: Thank you so much. I'm gonna be amazing. What? [Laughs] False modesty gets you nowhere.

[Laughter]

Abby: We need to get your paperwork done ASAP.

Noah: Hey, Summer! Can I talk to you for a second?

Summer: Yeah!

Tyler: So... you're part of the Jabot team now! That's good to hear. You know, a few of us were going to the Vampire Weekend concert tonight. You should come. Noah doesn't have a date.

Courtney: He does now.

Summer: Don't.

Noah: What?

Summer: Ask me how I'm doing.

Noah: Like I have to ask. You're acting like you're fine, because if you don't, people will hover more, which makes you crazy. But all this is pushing you over the edge.

Summer: Look, I can't be here, Noah. It's just -- it's too hard. I -- and please, do not lecture me about how I need to stay where my family is and whatever else.

Noah: From the guy who went to France and then New York because being a Newman can be a pain in the ass, not to mention everything that you're going through. I'm not gonna stop you from doing what you need to do, but just give me a hint so I can check up on you, okay? If you leave, let me know where you're going.

Summer: Yeah, so you could tell Dad and try and stop me?

Noah: No. So if you go somewhere cool, I can crash on your couch.

Summer: Really.

Noah: Okay, fine. Even if it's not cool.

Nick: Hey! How's the wedding planning going? That bad?

Avery: Well, uh, we can't seem to find a venue for the reception or the wedding. Uh, Victoria's working her magic, but it doesn't look pretty.

Nick: Well, there's always my parents' place.

Avery: Yeah, given the fact that the last wedding ended in an attempted assassination...

Nick: Mm. So that's a no?

Avery: That is a definite no.

Nick: No. Okay. Well, something will come up.

Avery: Are you being optimistic or delusional?

Nick: Avery, its reality. We have been through so much to get to this point, the wedding is gonna seem like a piece of cake in comparison.

Avery: Oh, my God. The cake! That's another thing I forgot! You know... [Sighs] ...Faith's disapproval is seeming like the least of our problems right now!

Nick: Well, Sharon had a long talk with Faith. And, suddenly, no more tantrums. Look, our family is coming together, and so will this wedding.

Avery: Well, the wedding may come together. I just don't know where that's gonna be.

Nick: Well, wherever it happens, it is the beginning for us.

Dylan: I guess, uh, mother and son are still crashed. That's good. You need the rest. But, Chelsea, if you can hear me... I love you. And, Connor? This is your dad. I love you, too, Buddy.

Victoria: Honestly, after all the events we've had here, you'd think they'd be able to fit in one Newman wedding!

Nikki: Well, now, to be fair, the Newmans get married so often, we can't really expect management to drop everything.

Victoria: [Sighs]

Nikki: There's not another venue available?

Victoria: Avery thinks they're too far away or not special enough. And while she mentioned beer and pizza in the parking lot, I really don't think that's what she wants for her wedding day.

Nikki: This is all too much for one person, and I've put it all on your shoulders.

Victoria: No! Mom, Katherine's service is important, and -- I don't know -- maybe making the arrangements will help to give you closure. Besides, I can handle this. I can find the perfect venue for Avery, and her wedding will be everything that she and Nick want it to be.

Nikki: There it is -- your takeover smile. Conquering business or parties.

Victoria: [Scoffs] At least parties make people happy. Working at Newman made me equal parts crazy and fulfilled. You know, I never thought I would feel this way, but... I don't think I need it anymore! I mean, it's fine! Let Adam be Dad's right hand. I don't need it to be happy.

Nikki: I am thrilled to hear you say that. There's nothing more important than realizing what matters most. Sometimes, though, it's difficult embracing it.

Adam: So, you'll trust me again if I jump through hoops for you again. Look, this Chancellor move makes all the sense in the world, but you want me to bleed to let it happen.

Victor: Bloodshed won't be necessary, son.

Adam: Dad, I-I don't know. I don't know with you. I don't know what to do! You want me to -- uh, I gave you your office, right? You want me to put on a monkey suit and show up to the next executive board meeting?

Victor: That might be a hell of an idea! I'll make it simple for you. I will consider a Chancellor takeover... after you tell me... who this mysterious investor is.

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

Kyle: It's starting to seem like you're a little more interested in what you need and less interested in what's best for Summer.

Dr. Woods: I ran some tests.

Chelsea: Is there something wrong with our son?

Jill: Gary Reynolds? What does your ex-husband have to do with "All that I value"?
