Cane: Hey. You okay?

Lily: Hey. Thank you for getting here so fast.

Cane: You okay?

Lily: No, I'm just -- I'm stuck, and I-I couldn't move forward on this really important decision without getting your opinion.

Cane: [Sighs] That's it?

Lily: Yeah. Can you help me?

Cane: Of course, I can help you. I rushed here 'cause I thought you were upset.

Lily: Why would I be upset?

Cane: I don't know. I mean, the thought of me leaving here and going to Newman-Chancellor, I just...

Lily: Oh. That. Yes. Well, I can understand how somebody in your position would be torn between career choices. And you have to weigh out all of your options.

[Both laugh]

Cane: Really?

Lily: Really. And, you know, I just wanted to get your opinion on whether this lingerie was too...

Cane: Too...?

Lily: Risqué and revealing.

Cane: For...?

Lily: For the models in the fashion show. You know, and I also wanted you, as my husband, to know the perks that you have by working here with me in this office instead of in the lonely corporate world.

Noah: Very nice. Mom's gonna love all these decorations.

Faith: Stickers! Mommy's sign needs stickers!

Noah: Of course! How can we almost forget that? Do you have some stickers upstairs in your room?

[Knock on door]

Noah: Who is it?

Courtney: Police. Open up.

Noah: [Chuckles]

Nick: It wasn't a dream. I told you that I was falling in love with you all over again. I would have told you when you were completely awake and looking at me, but I didn't want to complicate things. Too late, I guess.

Sharon: Nick, I hoped that you would say those words for so long now.

Nick: Well, let me say them again. Sharon, I --

Sharon: No, Nick, not now. Not like this. This is all wrong.

Michael: Hey. [Chuckles]

Neil: Hey, Michael.

Michael: So, what are you doing? Cherishing your dwindling days of bachelorhood?

Neil: Oh, not quite, no. I think the clock has stopped ticking on that one.

Michael: What? You and Leslie elope?

Neil: No, no. We, uh, we broke up.

Michael: Oh. I'm so sorry, Neil. When?

Neil: Just recently.

Michael: I hadn't heard obviously, or I would have never brought it up. I apologize.

Neil: No, no. Don't -- don't be sorry. It -- it's quite all right.

Michael: What happened?

Neil: Let's just say we had a philosophical difference.

Michael: Philosophy, is it?

Neil: Yeah, she had hers, and I have mine.

Michael: Yeah, well, maybe if that's all it is, there's a chance you two can work things out?

Neil: No, thank you. I-I really don't think so.

Michael: Never say never. I mean, Lauren and I barely survived this past year, but, you know, now that, you know, we've gotten through it, we're even stronger, I think.

Neil: Yeah? Well, I was kind of hoping for that. Maybe Leslie would change her mind and do forever with me, but that's not the case. After some careful consideration and some advice from a new friend, I have decided to let that hope go.

Lauren: Where's Neil? I need him to sign off on this dress.

Hilary: Oh, didn't -- didn't he already authorize the pulls from marketing?

Lauren: Oh, well, this is a possible last-minute substitution for the ad I'm doing for my boutique.

Hilary: Oh.

Lauren: You know, we got to coordinate with the fashion show.

Hilary: With the fashion show, yeah.

Lauren: Right. Exactly. Do you know where he is?

Hilary: Um, he's not here yet, but, you know, he should be here soon. Any minute.

Lauren: Great.

Hilary: Great.

Lauren: Oh, my God. Did I even say hi?

Hilary: Oh, it's -- its okay. Everybody's, you know, on hyper drive over the launch. But can I get you something while you wait?

Lauren: No, I'm okay. Uh, do you have any models hanging around?

Hilary: Models?

Lauren: Yeah, I really want to see what this dress looks like.

Hilary: Although, you know, all the male employees around here would love that...

Lauren: [Laughs] Sure.

Hilary: Jabot offices -- they're just not dripping with models on a regular basis.

Lauren: All right, well, it was worth a try, right? Hilary? I know this is so not in your job description, but would you mind trying this on for me so I can see what it looks like?

Hilary: [Chuckles] Yeah. I'll be glad to.

Lauren: Thank you.

Hilary: No problem. You know, we have so much going on with this fashion show just two weeks away.

Lauren: [Chuckling] I know. Two weeks? Two -- wait a minute. That can't be possible.

Michael: Well, my friend, that which does not kill us sometimes leaves us with a permanent limp, possibly a scar or two.

Neil: [Laughs]

[Cell phone rings]

Michael: Oh. Sorry.

Neil: Thank you for the encouraging words. I appreciate that. Go ahead. Take your call.

Michael: Business.

Neil: Yep.

Michael: All right.

Neil: I understand. Yeah. [Both laugh] My man. Yeah, I got to get out of here. Ooh!

Summer: Sorry! I'm so sorry!

Neil: It's -- its okay. I just didn't -- I just didn't want to see you splattered, that's all.

Summer: Sorry.

Neil: You okay?

Summer: Yeah.

Neil: Okay. Well, who's that? Is that, uh -- oh, that's Avery, right?

Summer: Yeah, she -- she entered this contest.

Neil: Wow. "Real folk food."

Summer: Yeah.

Neil: That's one of the top food sites.

Summer: Yeah, no, she won first place for her recipe.

Neil: Isn't that nice? I knew she was a great cook, but this is absolutely impressive.

Summer: Yeah, no, look how many hits it's gotten.

Neil: I'm telling you, I mean, that's a very smart hook there.

Summer: Yeah.

Neil: Yeah, it is. Hey, how you doing?

Summer: Oh, you mean since I took those stupid energy pills, ended up in the hospital, and then ruined your entire fashion shoot? Pretty good.

Neil: No. Stop, young lady. No one blames you for that.

Summer: Thanks, but I wish everyone wasn't blaming my grandpa, either.

Neil: Hmm. I'm afraid the, uh, FDA's issue is with Victor's company now. [Clears throat] On another note, have you heard about the big upcoming fashion show?

Summer: A little bit. It's at the athletic club, right?

Neil: Yeah, that's right. Your ads are -- are still running, and they're garnering an incredibly positive response. You know that. How would you feel about participating in the show this year?

Summer: No, no, no. That's -- that's really, really sweet of you, Neil, but, um, I'm perfectly fine with being a real person and being allowed to have a candy bar once in awhile.

Neil: Good. I like candy bars. I understand that. I guess you can't knock what you...

Summer: What? Being a real person?

Neil: You know what, Summer? That is an amazing idea.

Summer: What idea?

Neil: Good luck with everything, all right? Um, I got to go. You just inspired me.

Cane: I love... partaking in this job's benefit package. It's comprehensive.

Lily: And it's very personalized.

Cane: It is, isn't it? You know what I like to do? I like to partake in that package here in this office.

Lily: I know. I love that, too.

Cane: Yeah. But...

Lily: But...you still want the other job.

Cane: Listen, when we agreed to take this job, we did it 'cause we wanted to help out Devon, and we had nothing else going on. And then we started here, and you blossomed because this is where you are meant to be.

Lily: I thought that you loved it, too.

Cane: Baby, I love working with you, okay, and I love all the incredible things we've done together. And I love the accomplishments we have, okay?

Lily: Yeah, but I thought that it was gonna be our accomplishment.

Noah: You'll never take me alive, Copper.

Courtney: We've got you surrounded, Newman. Come out with your hands up and preferably your shirt off.

Noah: [Chuckles]

Courtney: How'd you like my tough-cop voice?

Noah: Authoritative. Very scary.

Courtney: Good.

Noah: What are you doing in uniform? I thought you were an undercover only.

Courtney: I asked Chief Williams to reassign me. As of today, no more drug stings. I'm just Officer Sloane.

Noah: [Sighs] I thought you were worried being a beat cop would be boring compared to drug stings.

Courtney: I was.

Noah: What changed your mind?

Courtney: You.

Noah: I never asked you to choose between your undercover work and me.

Courtney: That's what cinched it. There's no pressure and no pouting. You just encouraged me to do me, and this is my choice.

Noah: Would it be too pushy to say that I'm loving this idea?

Courtney: It'd be just right. I don't know how the job's gonna be for me, but I love you, and I wanted to do this for you. What was that for?

Noah: For keeping yourself safe.

Courtney: I always have.

Noah: I'm not gonna lie. I do wish you were in a job that didn't require you wearing a loaded weapon.

Courtney: Well, I'm kind of a cop, so...

Noah: I know how important this is, and I-I am genuinely proud of the work that you do.

Faith: Is mommy's welcome-home party a costume party?

Courtney: [Chuckles] This is my uniform, Faith. I'm a police officer.

Noah: She protects this whole city.

Faith: Courtney's a hero!

Noah: That she is.

Courtney: Hmm.

Noah: You better get the stickers on the sign for Mom. Why don't you stay for the party?

Courtney: I'll be back. I just need to go home and change since I'm just getting off, but I'm looking forward to seeing my boyfriend later.

Noah: [Chuckles]

Courtney: [Chuckles]

Noah: Oh, and, uh, Officer Sloane... the uniform's hot.

Courtney: [Laughs]

Nick: I was hoping you'd be a little happier.

Sharon: Nick, I...

Nick: Maybe it's 'cause your memory's a little fuzzy. I mean, I said those words to you when you were still out of it.

Sharon: It was your words that brought me out of that haze. I needed to see your face. I needed to look into your eyes again.

Nick: And now that you're more lucid?

Sharon: I don't want you talking about falling in love with me.

Nick: Why not?

Sharon: [Sighs] Because we both know how protective you've been of me and how many times you've rescued me.

Nick: And you think that's what this is?

Sharon: I just don't want you to mistake those feelings for something deeper.

Nick: That's not what I'm doing.

Sharon: Well, think about where you were when you professed those feelings. I was unconscious in a hospital bed after a procedure. I mean, I couldn't have looked more vulnerable in my life.

Nick: Look, I have my own mind and my own heart.

Sharon: I've hoped for this for so long.

Nick: Then accept it.

Sharon: [Sighs] I want nothing more than to believe that your feelings are true, but I just don't know that I can believe they are.

Nick: Okay. Can you trust me? Look, I did not open up my heart and tell you that because you were looking fragile laying in some hospital bed. The truth is... my feelings for you have been growing and building for some time. And if this is just too much for you to handle right now...

Sharon: No. Nick, I-I do trust you.

Nick: Then where do we stand?

Sharon: I guess I just need to...trust myself enough to be honest with you. And the truth is, I've been falling in love with you again for a long time.

Cane: Listen, I have been blown away watching you show off your creative chops and your business savvy.

Lily: Yeah, but I thought you were having a good time, too.

Cane: I am having a good time working with you, but I made this place profitable, and now I feel like my job here is done.

Lily: [Sighs] But if this place is gonna continue to be profitable...

Cane: Sweetheart, you can do it. You can do it because you are that good, okay? But I need something more. I need something more than just balancing ledgers, and if Victor comes to me with a solid offer, I want to take it. Do you understand?

Lily: Yeah.

Cane: Yeah?

Lily: I understand. You’re drive is part of what I love about you.

Cane: Even if you're gonna miss me?

Lily: [Chuckles] Of course I'm gonna miss you.

Cane: Yeah?

Lily: But I don't want my husband to stay in a job just to make me happy.

Cane: Do you remember how we felt when we first talked about working together?

Lily: Yeah. We were scared.

Cane: Mm-hmm.

Lily: We were afraid that my cancer was gonna come back, so we didn't want to spend a minute apart. [Sighs] But, you know, you're right. I mean, now that I have a clean bill of health, I think that you should go after bigger dreams.

Cane: You know what I think? I think that I still need to partake in these, uh, business benefits at home. That's what I think.

Lily: [Chuckles] Well, I will say that I did miss the rush of coming home to you after a long work day.

Cane: Really?

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Cane: Do you know how much I adore you?

Lily: How much?

Cane: Well, see, I'm starting to have this, uh, this memory...

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Cane: ...That I am still on the payroll.

Lily: [Chuckles]

Cane: And I, uh, I haven't approved this, uh, lingerie yet.

Lily: Oh, well, let me show you the parts that I thought were too risqué for the catwalk.

Cane: Hmm.

Hilary: I love this dress so much. I want to keep it. I mean, I saw the sketches, but this material is so luxurious. And the color. Lauren. What do you think?

Lauren: [Chuckles]

Neil: I think it's a total knockout.

Summer: Hey!

Fenmore: Hey, aren't you supposed to be, like, stomping a runway in Milan or Paris?

Summer: Uh, no, I actually quit the whole modeling thing.

Fenmore: Oh, no way.

Summer: Yeah, no, I won't have time. I'm gonna be a college student at, well, GCU hopefully. What? You, too?

Fenmore: Uh, yeah. I've actually been taking a night class to catch up on credits before I apply to schools.

Summer: That's great. Can I see?

Fenmore: Of course. Yeah.

Summer: Let me see. Wow. Fen, these -- these are the big leagues.

Fenmore: [Chuckles] Well, that is -- that's my first choice, but I'm gonna be, like, spreading around the applications just to make sure I get accepted somewhere, at least.

Summer: Are they all out of state?

Fenmore: Definitely.

Summer: I'll miss you, but I know that Genoa City can be...

Fenmore: Tempting?

Summer: Yeah. Wait. You think that I'm on drugs?

Fenmore: You're not?

Summer: No, no, of course not. Are you?

Fenmore: Uh, absolutely not.

Summer: Okay, good.

Fenmore: Whew. You had me worried for a second. Um...

Summer: [Chuckles]

Fenmore: Well, that's -- that's nice to hear that you're pharmaceutical-free.

Summer: Yeah. You, too. Can you believe that we both have our heads screwed on straight at the same time?

Fenmore: Has that ever happened in the whole history of us?

Summer: I don't think so. [Chuckles] We just need to stick to it.

Fenmore: Cheers. Cheers. To no more bad influences.

Summer: Yeah.

Fenmore: Even if those influences seem sweet, blonde, and perky.

Sharon: So, we'll ease into this?

Nick: I think that's best for you, me, and Faith.

Sharon: Yeah. I think that we need to take it slow and, um, you moving in with us, I think we should stick to my original plan, that we should just reevaluate the situation in the morning.

Nick: Cool. But we're also gonna stick to the rest of the original plan. I'm gonna stay on the couch so we don't give Faith the wrong idea...or the right idea.

Sharon: We need to take it slow, not rush into anything.

Nick: Yeah, we're gonna put your stability first. I'm not gonna let anything get in the way of your recovery process, including me.

Sharon: Yes, Sir.

Nick: All right, so, anything else you need? Anything?

Sharon: [Sighs] Yeah. There is one thing that I need right now.

Nick: Name it.

Sharon: Take me home.

Nick: I will check with the nurse on your paperwork.

Sharon: Wait, Nick. Um... before we go home, there's one thing that I need to do to feel safe and secure.

Nick: What's that?

Sharon: Oh, my gosh. Look at everything. It's so beautiful and so sweet.

Nick: You guys did a great job.

Noah: Note Faith's creative use of stickers.

Sharon: I love all of it. It’s... Baby. Don't I get a hug? Aww. Faith, Honey, you don't have to be so gentle with me. I'm okay now. I'm gonna be just fine.

Faith: But what part of you was sick?

Nick: Um, how about something to eat?

Sharon: You know, its okay. Um, the reason mommy doesn't have any bandages on the outside is because mommy wasn't well on the inside. But my doctor took excellent care of me, and it looks like I'm gonna be just fine. And you know what else helped me out a lot? This "Get well soon" card made with love from my beautiful, thoughtful daughter. You know, it was a perfect reminder of how important family is. Looks like things are gonna be getting back to normal around here.

Nick: With one small exception.

Courtney: Can I get a black coffee to go?

Summer: I haven't spoken to Courtney in a really long time.

Fenmore: Good.

Summer: It's just weird, though.

Fenmore: Summer, I've been doing everything I can to avoid my dealer.

Summer: That girl, Raven?

Fenmore: Shouldn't you keep avoiding one of Raven's biggest customers?

Summer: I guess it's just Courtney and I were so tight, you know? It's just -- it's weird.

Courtney: Hey, Summer. Fen.

Summer: Hey.

Fenmore: No, we're busy, Courtney.

Courtney: I didn't mean to interrupt. I-I just want to know if I can talk to you alone, Summer.

Summer: Um, I...

Fenmore: No, look, I'm advising against this.

Summer: Look, Fen, she's my brother's girlfriend. I'm gonna have to talk to her eventually.

Fenmore: My dad -- my dad's out on the patio. I've got your back. Yell if you need me.

Summer: Okay. [Sighs] Look, I know that Noah caved and for whatever reason he bought into all your lies about you and your family and everything else.

Courtney: No, it's because I came clean to him. That's why he forgave me.

Summer: Well, that's him. I'm not gonna be close with someone who can't be honest with me and has a whole drug thing going, Courtney.

Courtney: [Sighs] That's why I want to be honest with you, too.

Summer: Okay, well, knock yourself out. I'm not promising to forgive or forget. And I swear, Courtney, if you drag my brother into this --

Courtney: I'm not into drugs, Summer. I'm a cop.

Summer: [Scoffs] Okay.

Michael: Well, this is out of state.

Fenmore: Do you think if I'm out of state that I'm...

Michael: Fenmore, I'm glad that you feel secure enough in your sobriety to want to leave the nest.

Fenmore: [Chuckles] Me, too.

Michael: These courses you've marked...

Fenmore: Well, those are the ones that I'm most interested in taking.

Michael: No, no, I've taken a lot of them. Quite a few of them are pre-law.

Fenmore: So, Mom didn't tell you. Wow. I honestly -- I-I didn't think she'd be able to keep it a secret.

Michael: What secret?

Fenmore: [Chuckles] This feeling I've been having about wanting to help other people, which led to me thinking about the best way to do that.

Michael: Now, hold on. Um, we're not talking about some Peace Corps thing or teaching overseas, right?

Fenmore: No, it's actually -- it's about you, Dad.

Michael: Me?

Fenmore: I think what you do is admirable, and I aspire to do the same thing. But I wanted to be the one to tell you, and I had to be sure about it.

Michael: You aspire to -- to be me? You... you want to be a lawyer?

Hilary: Oh, this dress would make any woman look good.

Neil: Well, well. You know what? Funny you should say that, because seeing you like this has actually inspired me even more.

Hilary: Inspired you? How?

Neil: Well, it plays into the whole brainstorming I just had regarding the fashion show. I can't wait to tell you two about it. Lauren?

Lauren: Oh, I'm so sorry, Neil. I-I'm sure that your idea is so great. But there's just something I need to take care of right now. I-I'm sorry.

Hilary: Didn't you want to, um, look at...the dress?

[Cell phone rings]

Michael: Congratulations.

Lauren: What? What are you talking about?

Michael: You're very good. You managed to keep this secret to yourself.

Fenmore: [Chuckles]

Lauren: You figured it out?

Michael: Fenmore just told me. Our son wants to be a lawyer.

Lauren: [Sighs] Yes. Yes, I'm so glad our son finally shared that with you.

Michael: It was a very nice surprise. I am very proud of him.

Lauren: You give him a hug for me?

Michael: I will.

Lauren: Michael, are you busy the rest of the day?

Michael: What do you need?

Lauren: Will you meet me in the park?

Michael: What's going on, Honey?

Lauren: It's a pretty day.

Michael: It's kind of cool, don't you think?

Lauren: Well, cool can be romantic. Can't a woman just want to walk and talk and hold her husband's hand?

Michael: Are you sure that's all it is?

Lauren: Are you coming or not?

Michael: It's a date. I'll see you soon.

Fenmore: What's going on with Mom?

Michael: I'm not sure, but I will find out very soon. My son, the lawyer.

Fenmore: [Chuckles] It's the last thing you expected, right?

Michael: I'm ready to hang out the "Baldwin and Baldwin, attorneys at law" shingle.

Fenmore: [Laughs] Hold off on buying that signage for about seven years, okay?

Michael: Yeah, okay. Meanwhile, I do need to find a partner.

Fenmore: Well, have you started looking?

Michael: I put out feelers. Lesson one for the future, Fenmore Baldwin, esquire, the right partner can make or break you. I just have to make sure not to trust the wrong person.

Summer: Everything I thought I knew about you was a lie. It was just all part of some narcotics sting.

Courtney: No, I wasn't lying to you, Summer. It was all part of my cover. I don't know how many times I wanted to tell you the truth.

Summer: So why didn't you?

Courtney: Because I couldn't risk that. It would put me in danger and all the cops I work with, especially you.

Summer: So all this time, I was never really your friend.

Courtney: Of course you were.

Summer: I told you everything, Courtney. Everything. I-I told you my deepest, darkest feelings about my mom's accident, how much I love Kyle.

Courtney: I know. I know.

Summer: And what? To Officer Courtney, that was just something to laugh about with her fellow cops back at the station?

Courtney: No. No.

Summer: Yeah.

Courtney: I never laughed about you. Not once. I wouldn't consider you anything but a true friend.

Summer: How is that possible, Courtney? There was nothing true about our friendship. You acted giddy and bubbly when really you were just secretly scoping out who you're gonna arrest.

Courtney: [Scoffs] Believe it or not, that giddy, bubbly side of me wasn't part of the act. I mean, at least not when I was slapping handcuffs on a perp. Okay, I know I lied, Summer. But it was all for good reason. I was helping to lock away these people that peddle drugs to kids that are too young to make their own decisions. I was trying to keep kids like you and Fen from overdosing or getting hooked --

Summer: Yeah, that was good. Two strikes against that, Courtney.

Courtney: And that's what made me work harder. I put a bunch of dealers away. I got so close to finding the big supplier. I really feel like I made a difference.

Summer: Yeah, I mean, I guess that's kind of cool. So you're not really into drugs?

Courtney: It's good news, right?

Summer: Well, since my brother Noah is completely into you, then yeah, that’s... that's a big relief.

Courtney: Good. 'Cause I was kind of hoping since I'm not undercover anymore that we could still be friends.

Summer: I mean, it would kind of suck to have to break in a new BFF.

Courtney: [Chuckles]

Summer: Okay, one burning question.

Courtney: Yeah?

Summer: Do you get to carry a gun?

Courtney: [Chuckles]

Nick: I'm gonna be staying the night, and maybe a few nights after that.

Noah: Spending the night?

Sharon: Your father is going to be sleeping on the couch.

Nick: I will be here to, uh, to take care of your mom if she needs me, 'cause family looks after each other, okay?

Faith: Okay. Mommy, come and look at my stickers.

Sharon: Okay.

Noah: Dad, what exactly is going on?

Nick: Uh, your mom and I are getting closer.

Noah: That I knew, but it seems like things have ratcheted up since then.

Nick: [Sighs]

Sharon: Um, are you guys talking about me?

Noah: You and Dad. Yeah.

Sharon: Well, I don't think that we have to sugarcoat things with Noah, so your father and I are giving our relationship another shot.

Nick: We don't want to get Faith's hopes up.

Sharon: In case things don't end up working out.

Nick: But things are going very well.

Sharon: Yes.

Noah: All right.

Sharon: Okay, Noah, I can tell you're concerned.

Noah: No, if you, uh... whatever you guys want. If it makes you happy.

Sharon: Well, you don't have to sugarcoat things with me, either. Like I said to Faith, you don't have to put on the kid gloves.

Noah: Okay, then. You just came off of being hospitalized and going through a major treatment. Electro-convulsive therapy is really serious.

Nick: We understand that.

Noah: Then maybe now isn't the best time to be making such major steps.

Nick: We completely agree.

Noah: Then why are you...

Nick: We're going to take things very slow. We're gonna put your mother's health as a priority.

Sharon: And right now, as far as I can tell, the ECT really worked.

Noah: Really? You feel that much different?

Sharon: Aside from a few memory blanks, I feel like this huge weight has been lifted. Whatever dark place my mind had been going to, it's over.

Nick: Hopefully it's gone for good.

Lily: Oh, look. Dad's here. Oh, God.

Cane: Be cool. Just -- just be cool.

Lily: Why does she have to be here? I just...

Neil: Hey, hey. I'm glad you two are here.

Hilary: Hi, Cane. Lily.

Lily: What's going on?

Neil: You're gonna love this. We've been bouncing around ideas for this huge upcoming fashion show.

Hilary: And I think it is guaranteed to shake things up.

Neil: Uh-huh.

Lily: Oh, well, that's your specialty, right? Shaking things up?

Lauren: There's something about spring.

Michael: Maybe it should be a little warmer.

Lauren: [Chuckles] It just makes me think about renewal and rebirth, fresh starts.

Michael: Yeah. Like our son. I mean, I can't tell you how much that meant to me. We have had hardship after hardship after hardship with that boy. I mean, for a long time now, and all of a sudden he comes up with this.

Lauren: I know.

Michael: He wants to follow in my footsteps, right?

Lauren: So amazing.

Michael: Me.

Lauren: You just can't replace that kind of parental joy.

Michael: True.

Lauren: Yeah. Michael --

Michael: But there's also a lot of relief.

Lauren: Huh?

Michael: I mean, from the parental stress of having to watch your kid growing up. I mean, having to watch your kid make mistakes that could have ruined his life.

Lauren: So this is what you're taking from our son's childhood? Stress?

Michael: Well, you have to admit he hasn't made the best decisions.

Lauren: First steps, first words?

Michael: Yeah, all that is good, but, I mean, you know, it's -- it's been tough, right?

Lauren: You don't miss those wonderful years when he was growing up?

Michael: I remember everything, from Sheila kidnapping our baby boy all the way through and including his stint in rehab and his prison sentence.

Lauren: Why are you going straight to the worst moments?

Michael: All right, all right, all right. I don't know. Maybe it's because I can finally picture Fenmore as an adult with a solid head on his shoulders. I mean, he wants to be a lawyer. Maybe we're through the worst of it. I mean, think how lucky we are.

Lauren: Yes. We're lucky because we got to be a mom and a dad.

Michael: And we're lucky that we're never gonna have to go back and live through that pain again. [Chuckles]

Lauren: [Sobs]

Michael: What?

Sharon: Wow, Faith. I truly think that you have captured the essence of Victor Newman here.

Noah: That means we all took one look at the picture with the suit and the mustache, and we all knew it was Granddad.

Sharon: You know what? I wish I could freeze this moment right now with all of you here and close. You truly are the most important reason I have to be well and to stay well.

[Knock on door]

Nick: I'll get it.

Summer: Hey. Uh, I just came to see Faith.

Nick: Yeah. Come on in.

Summer: Hey, uh, I didn't know that you were home. Hey! Come here!

Sharon: They sprung me today.

Noah: Having a little, uh, welcome-home bash.

Sharon: Yeah. Come join the festivities.

Summer: You look great.

Nick: Summer was pretty great. She really pitched in and took care of Faith while you were in the hospital.

Sharon: Oh, thank you so much, Summer.

Summer: Yeah, no, it's no big deal, 'cause Faith and I love hanging out, right? You know, and it's the least that I could do, you know, everything that you've done for me since the paternity stuff.

Hilary: Sorry to break it to you, Lily, but this inspired idea was all your dad’s.

Neil: No, no, no, that's not true. It wasn't all my idea. It actually was inspired by a comment that Summer made and a cooking video website.

Cane: Wait, wait, wait. The concept of the fashion show involves cooking?

Neil: No, not at all. My idea is to include a "Real people on the runway" feature of the show.

Lily: Real people? What? Like businesswomen and homemakers?

Neil: Exactly. I've already talked to Tyler, and he's off and running with the idea.

Lily: Dad, that's a great idea.

Neil: Well, thank you. I'm glad that you like it, because I'd like you to be part of the show.

Cane: Hey. You used to be a model.

Lily: Well, I mean, now I'm a mom with two kids and I'm married and I work, so I think I'm as real as I get.

Cane: You're still beautiful, though.

Lily: Aww. You know, we can get waiters and -- and -- and maids that work here at the hotel and have teachers, too.

Neil: You know, I have already recruited someone that you can add to that list.

Lily: Who? You've got to be kidding me.

Hilary: Welcome to the real models of Genoa City.

Lauren: [Sighs]

Michael: Listen, I didn't mean any of this as a complaint or an insult. I loved all the years raising Fenmore. I wouldn't change them for anything. All I'm saying is it wasn't all smooth sailing.

Lauren: [Sighs] Do you hear what you're saying?

Michael: I do not hear me saying anything that should have gotten you this upset. Is something else going on? Is the boutique opening? I mean, it's not -- it's not like you to get nervous about anything regarding business. You're always so on top of all that.

Lauren: No, it's not anything to do with business. [Sighs] Sometimes you can be so dense.

Michael: Dense?

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: All right. At least it's got you smiling. If you need to call me names to make yourself happy, be happy. I'm -- I'm here.

Lauren: Ugh!

Michael: What? Come -- all right! What? Tell me! Tell me! Give me a hint! What did I do?

Lauren: I can't take you talking about Fen's childhood like it's some sort of horrendous thing that needs to be avoided at all cost!

Michael: No, that is not -- that is not at all what I'm doing.

Lauren: It isn't?

Michael: No! I'm just saying that I'm glad that we're done with that part of our lives. I mean, is something wrong with that?

Lauren: [Sniffles] Yes.

Michael: Why? What?

Lauren: Because I think I'm pregnant.

Summer: I'm sorry, Faith. I can't this weekend. I'm going back down to Georgia to see my mom. Thank you.

Sharon: Well, I guess my memory's a little spottier than I thought. What's Phyllis doing down in Georgia?

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

Jack: Been taking eavesdropping lessons from your new husband, Jill?

Jill: The whole town knows that this hussy slept with my son.

Nick: What do you mean, Phyllis didn't fall? You weren't there.

Sharon: Yes, I was.
