Maureen: Boy, you really needed that first drink. [Chuckles]

Nikki: Oh, boy. Yes, I did. [Chuckles] It was a tough, tough day. I don't normally drink at this hour. I mean, I don't really even drink at all.

Maureen: No, me neither.

Nikki: Was it 'cause of the people that you have to meet today? Pretty intimidating.

Maureen: Must be. One good thing -- if your car has to break down, you're lucky it happened near a bar.

Nikki: Yeah. Yes, very lucky.

Maureen: And since we're both partaking before happy hour, we should become better acquainted. I'm Maureen.

Nikki: Hi, Maureen. I'm...Sherry.

Maureen: Sherry.

Jack: I'm sorry. Who did you say was calling?

Nurse Hathaway: Pamela Hathaway, one of Ms. Newman's nurses.

Jack: Yes, nurse Hathaway. Is something wrong?

Nurse Hathaway: I'm calling

Kelly: Hey! You are about to experience culinary bliss.

Jack: I can't quite hear you. C-could you -- Nurse Hathaway, has something happened to Phyllis?

Abby: And Cassie was the nicest person ever, and now we are forced to accept this skulking, stalking witch as Nick's stepdaughter, as my niece. I mean, can't we just jettison her off to Antarctica? Maybe it'll freeze the evil out of her.

Traci: Or, Abby, you could take a kinder approach.

Abby: To Mariah? Why?

Traci: This poor young woman has just survived being kidnapped, only to find out that she was kidnapped at birth.

Abby: Okay. You're trying to make me feel sympathy for her.

Traci: Well, is that so out of the question?

Abby: How can I feel the least bit sorry for her after everything she's pulled?

Traci: Because you're loving and considerate.

Abby: But she is terrible and awful and --

Traci: And alone in the world. Abby, she's probably feeling unloved, unwanted, lost. Can't you find one tiny bit of compassion for her? Because you're just as sweet and kind as your niece Cassie used to be.

Abby: Maybe.

Traci: I have the utmost faith in you.

Abby: You do bring the best out of people, aunt Traci.

[Both laugh]

Traci: So, shall we look for the good in Mariah over a cup of coffee?

Abby: Oh, that's so tempting, but I can't stay.

Traci: You have to get back to work?

Abby: Yeah, with a quick detour. I have to deal with yet another criminal who has been foisted upon me, and this one's even worse.

Victoria: Hey. Hi, Ben.

Stitch: Victoria.

Victoria: [Sighs] We keep bumping in to each other.

Stitch: It seems so. Well, see you later.

Victoria: Uh, Ben, wait. What exactly is going on between you and my sister?

Stitch: Why do you care?

Nikki: Ahhhhh. Isn't this great? I mean, it's like -- kind of like we're in a bubble, you know, with no cares whatsoever.

Maureen: You got that right. And the more I drink, the more I realize I got nothing to worry about.

Nikki: No! And isn't that the greatest way to feel? I mean, here we are in this cozy little bar and some funky mood music, I mean, it is a fabulous escape.

Maureen: It is. What are you escaping from, sherry?

Nikki: Hold on one second. Excuse me. Powder room -- you know.

[Cell phone rings]

Maureen: Hey, sherry, I know we just met, but should I invite whoever's calling you to come join our little party?

Victoria: It's not that I care, exactly.

Stitch: Well, it sure seems like you do, Vicki. I mean, you've already grilled me today about my possible interest in Abby.

Victoria: I didn't grill. I asked.

Stitch: And since I've already answered, then why do you keep asking?

Victoria: Because.

Stitch: Because?

Victoria: Look, my goal here is to protect my younger sister. But because you're being so completely...

Stitch: Clear?

Victoria: ...Obstinent...

Stitch: "Stubborn like a stump" -- that's what my mom always used to say.

Victoria: Oh. [Laughs]

Stitch: What is it? What happened?

Victoria: Well, I guess he or she felt me laughing and decided to join in.

Stitch: That's nice.

Victoria: Look, to be clear, you never directly answered my question about Abby.

Stitch: I stand corrected. Am I allowed a do-over?

Victoria: Okay, but just this once.

Stitch: When it comes to Abby, there's nothing to worry about, since I can barely tolerate her.

Victoria: Really?

Stitch: Yeah.

Victoria: You don't like my little sister?

Stitch: [Chuckles] Let's just say I don't have much use for a girl who can grab a guy she hates and kiss him just to make her ex jealous.

Victoria: Okay. Well, then, why did I see you and Abby downstairs -- right downstairs -- in some heated moment? I mean, why would you even sit down at a table with her if you're so fed up with her?

Stitch: There's a perfectly good reason for that.

Victoria: And that would be?

Stitch: We're working together.

Victoria: What? You and Abby?

Stitch: Caught me off guard, too, but Ashley hired me as a chemist at Jabot.

Victoria: Why you?

Stitch: She's perfecting some revolutionary new product, and -- ay! What?!

Abby: If you are trying to get yourself fired, you're doing a damn good job.

Jack: Nurse Hathaway, please tell me what you have to say about Phyllis. I -- hello? Hello?! God.

Kelly: What's wrong?

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. [Groans]

Kelly: No answer?

Jack: No, her voicemail. Hello. This is Jack Abbott, nurse Hathaway. You just -- we lost our connection. Please call me as soon as you can with information about Phyllis. Thank you.

Kelly: Well, you know, Jack, maybe -- maybe nothing's wrong.

Jack: Why would the nurse suddenly call me and then just hang up?

Kelly: Well, she's a nurse. Maybe she went to help another patient.

Jack: Or maybe she went to help Phyllis.

Kelly: Look, just call the clinic directly. Find out what's going on. You need to know.

Nikki: No! Don't answer that! Um...

Maureen: Well, I wasn't gonna --

Nikki: No, no, no. I-I know. It's no big deal ordinarily, you know. I just don't want to have, like, a big party or something. Um...after the day I've had today, I just can't be bothered. I'll be back.

Maureen: Hey, uh, sherry, do you want another drink?

Victor: Sweetheart, I don't like the way we left things, so kindly call me back as soon as you get the message, okay? Them deliver two dozen red roses to the ranch, okay? And have it delivered before Nikki gets back to the ranch, all right? Thank you.

Maureen: I called after you to see if you wanted another refill.

Nikki: Oh. Uh, well, I-I didn't.

Maureen: Are you cutting yourself off?

Nikki: Actually, I didn't hear you.

Maureen: Well, you know, you're right. Maybe it's time to just call it quits and get back to the real world.

Nikki: Yeah. But you know what? Let's have another one. It's on me this time.

Maureen: Excellent.

Nikki: [Laughs]

Stitch: Why did you just hit me?

Abby: To shut you up.

Stitch: Really? Is that what working with you is like? Because I didn't sign on to be your royal whipping boy.

Abby: Oh. Actually, you didn't sign anything yet. Yeah, you might want to read this contract before you put pen to paper, 'cause you obviously don't know the first thing about your new job.

Stitch: I was just telling Victoria --

Abby: Yeah, and that's what I was stopping you from doing -- telling Victoria.

Victoria: Uh, actually --

Abby: If you can't live up to the mandates in this contract, including the confidentiality clause, you're fired.

Stitch: I wasn't telling Victoria anything confidential.

Abby: See, my sister over there -- no offense...

Victoria: Uh, none taken.

Abby: ...Is Victoria Newman of Newman enterprises -- yeah, the roughest, toughest competition. She's the enemy.

Stitch: I knew that.

Abby: Oh, yeah, and you were so willing to just blurt out trade secrets?

Stitch: Okay, that's not what was happening. Victoria wasn't working me for Jabot company secrets.

Abby: Oh. Why would she need to push you to spill something you were gonna blurt freely?

Stitch: There's no winning with you.

Abby: I'm glad you figured that out. It saves us a lot of time. So, Victoria, I'm sure you've had enough of this guy. I'm sure you're ready to get out of here.

Victoria: Uh, yeah. Actually, I was just on my way out.

Abby: You know what? I am very sorry about the whole eneny thing.

Victoria: Uh, you know what? That's okay. I would have done the same thing to you.

Abby: All right. I'll call you later.

Victoria: Okay. Bye-bye.

Abby: Bye. So... you and I need to lay down some ground rules.

Stitch: Yes, we do.

Nikki: So, I mean, what am I supposed to do? The car is conked out, and I've got nowhere to go.

Maureen: I could see some women getting twisted up by that.

Nikki: Mm. Pretty unnerving.

Maureen: I don't see that happening to you.

Nikki: Oh, you don't? Why not?

Maureen: Well, look at you. You're blond, you're all blinged out and well put together. Women like you always have these hot guys that they can call to come fix their car and take them wherever they want. You know what I mean.

Nikki: Actually, I'm married.

Maureen: Yeah, I could tell that from that rock on your hand.

Nikki: Mm.

Maureen: Hmm. That is nice. Looks expensive. I don't really have a sophisticated eye for that, but is it? I mean, is it expensive?

Nikki: Very.

Maureen: Nice. Your husband must be something.

Nikki: Oh, yeah. He's something, all right.

Maureen: So, why don't you call him to pick you up? What's wrong with him?

Nikki: There's nothing really wrong with him. I'm just a little furious with him right now.

Maureen: Ah. I understand that feeling.

Nikki: You're married?

Maureen: Not anymore.

Nikki: My husband is truly a very complicated man.

Maureen: Aren't they all?

Nikki: Now I know you've been married.

Maureen: [Laughs] So, what did your hot husband say? Fault for not trying to get in touch with him when I needed him, but he was unavailable -- nowhere in sight.

Maureen: How are you gonna argue with that kind of twisted logic?

Nikki: I-I-I don't know, so I left.

Maureen: And he just let you just walk out?

Nikki: Oh, well, I didn't have any choice there. I mean, when you get to that point, there's no winning an argument. You know what I'm talking about?

Maureen: What is it with some people? It's like it doesn't matter how well you think you know them, how long they've been in your life, how much love is bouncing around. It's just that... relationships are so tricky.

Nikki: I totally get it. Are you talking about those people you're gonna meet?

Maureen: Yeah. I'm thinking about not seeing them.

Nikki: Oh, don't do that. You might as well. You're this close.

Maureen: I don't know. Just showing my face could stir up a lot of trouble.

Jack: Dr. Cutler, is it?

Dr. Cutler: Yes.

Jack: We haven't met. I'm Jack Abbott. I'm Phyllis' -- well, we were engaged when Phyllis had her accident.

Dr. Cutler: Yes. Mr. Abbott. I'm very familiar with ms. Newman's case. What can I do for you?

Jack: Well, I'd like to know how she is. I mean, is she okay?

Dr. Cutler: Why wouldn't she be?

Jack: Is there a nurse Hathaway there that I can speak with?

Dr. Cutler: I am afraid she's busy with another patient right now. Perhaps I can help you?

Jack: Well, I got a call from nurse Hathaway -- to tell me about Phyllis, I think -- but we were disconnected.

Dr. Cutler: I see. Well, I must apologize. Nurse Hathaway must have made that call in error.

Jack: How is that possible?

Dr. Cutler: Well, there's been some confusion on the floor today, but there's been no change with ms. Newman.

Jack: You sure about that?

Dr. Cutler: Quite certain.

Jack: Perhaps I should speak to Phyllis' regular physician. Is dr. Burnett there?

Dr. Cutler: I can understand your wanting confirmation from someone you know, Mr. Abbott.

Jack: Thank you for your understanding. Could I speak to dr. Burnett?

Dr. Cutler: At the moment, I'm afraid he's unavailable, as well, but I can assure you I am working very closely with dr. Burnett. And I give you my word -- ms. Newman continues to be doing as well as can be expected.

Jack: Well, okay, if there's nothing to worry about.

Dr. Cutler: There isn't. Is there anything else, Mr. Abbott?

Jack: No. No. Thank you, doctor.

Kelly: Feel better?

Jack: Only kind of.

Kelly: I'm sure a call from the nurse has to be a little emotionally jarring, but this new doctor --

Jack: Dr. Cutler.

Kelly: Did what he's saying make sense?

Jack: Yeah. He was relaxed. He was reassuring. He was calm.

Kelly: Then why are you still worried?

Jack: There's something about this that doesn't add up. And Daniel's out of the country. There's no one around to check on Phyllis anymore.

Kelly: It sounds like you want to go down there.

Jack: How would you feel about that?

Kelly: Well, you do what you have to do, Jack. I would just you... what do you hope to find?

Phyllis: [Gurgles]

Nikki: [Slurring] Thank you. Can I be honest with you?

Maureen: [Slurring] Yeah.

Nikki: I think that you need to face down your demons, whatever you are.

Maureen: Oh, that's easy for you to say, sherry.

Nikki: Well, you can do it. You are a strong, strong woman. You are ready to take on anything life gives you.

Maureen: You're a tough cookie, sherry. You and me -- we're cut from the same cloth.

Nikki: You think so?

Maureen: Yeah. You didn't take that call from your husband and go running around back to him.

Nikki: Yeah, well, my car is out of commission, so...

Maureen: But even so! You know, you can't take that garbage from him. Don't let him get away with anything ever!

Nikki: No, I shouldn't. I should not ever let him get away with.

Maureen: Ever! We are sisters!

Nikki: Man, are we sisters?

Maureen: Yeah.

Nikki: Don't let them do it to us. Sister!

Maureen: Ohh!

Nikki: [Laughs]

Stitch: I understand confidentiality. As a doctor, I have had plenty of practice keeping things to myself.

Abby: Which is why I assumed wrongly that you could keep a secret.

Stitch: I am just not as cynical as you. Not everyone has a hidden agenda.

Abby: [Laughs] Says the doctor with a hidden murder in his past.

Stitch: Are you ever gonna ease up?

Abby: Why? That's what you are.

Stitch: We're gonna be working together, Abby, practically every day.

Abby: Maybe several times a day.

Stitch: In that case, could you resist using the word "murder" in every conversation we have?

Abby: Behind those bright blue eyes and smile of yours, you are. You are a murderer.

Stitch: That's twice in one conversation. You're digressing. Please stop.

Abby: It's so hard to believe. I mean, you don't look like a murderer.

Stitch: Yeah? What's a murderer look like?

Abby: Not someone who saves lives for a living and goes goo-goo over babies and who claims to love my sister.

Stitch: So, if I looked like a killer...

Abby: Then maybe I wouldn't feel so gypped for liking you.

Stitch: You like me?

Abby: I liked you, yeah, before -- enough to try and set you up with my mom. How could you be that person? Look, I've been mad at my dad -- furious at him -- several times, but I could never --

Stitch: You could never do what I did.

Abby: He was your own flesh and blood, stitch. How could you be this person that we all liked and then do something so totally reprehensible?

Victoria: Hi, dad.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Victoria: Did you know that Ashley's back and working for Jabot?

Victor: Oh. I wasn't even aware she was back in town.

Victoria: Well, neither was I. I wonder why they're keeping it such a big secret.

Victor: What did you find out?

Victoria: Well, apparently, she's developing a new product for Jabot that they're trying to keep tightly under wraps. Maybe we need to rethink the Newman-chancellor cosmetic rollout for the rest of the year. Why are you smiling? This could be a big coup for the competition.

Victor: Because, obviously, you're back in your element.

Victoria: [Chuckles]

Victor: You're fighting to keep this family business on top. It warms the cockles of my heart.

Victoria: Well, thank you, dad. It warms the cockles of my heart, too, and it's a very welcome distraction, trust me.

Victor: So, what have you learned about her project?

Victoria: She hired Ben Rayburn as a chemist.

Victor: Stitch? Why?

Victoria: Well, I was asking myself the same question. What skill does he have that they would want? Anyway, I ran in to him, and he let it slip about the new product.

Victor: Really? That's intriguing, isn't it? Might give us an inside track.

Victoria: Dad, are you suggesting that I spy on the man who might be the father of this baby?

Nikki: Okay, man. That's it for me.

Maureen: No more? Me too. Want some coffee?

Nikki: Mm-hmm. Sounds good.

Maureen: Two coffees, please!

Nikki: Oh, I'm just --

Maureen: Getting the most for your money. Nothing wrong with that.

Nikki: [Chuckles] Yeah, I guess not.

Maureen: Thanks.

Nikki: Thank you.

Maureen: Thank you, sherry.

Nikki: Oh, I didn't do anything but buy a couple of drinks.

Maureen: You have me a little pep talk -- you know, just a little bit of inspiration. You gave me what I need to stick to my plan, you know? I need to face the people I came here to face.

Nikki: I am so happy to hear that. I think that is very wise.

Jack: I don't know what I expect to find at the clinic, but I am concerned.

Kelly: Well, this nurse -- she didn't say there was something actually wrong with Phyllis, did she?

Jack: No, no, but what kind of confusion would lead a nurse to call me at home? And who is this new doctor, anyway?

Kelly: Well, maybe you should talk to Summer and Avery. They're the ones that are in charge of her care now, right?

Jack: I'm making you uncomfortable, aren't I?

Kelly: No. You're just concerned.

Jack: I'm...being insensitive, and I'm sorry.

Kelly: You're feeling what you feel.

Jack: That's one of the things I love about you. You always seem to understand.

Kelly: Jack... I get grief. I've lived with it long enough to know that it doesn't have an expiration date. And it's sneaky. It can wallop you when you least expect it, with a photograph or a child's toy.

Jack: Or a phone call. I'm sorry. I'm sorry my feelings for Phyllis sometimes intrude on my feelings for you.

Kelly: It's okay. This makes it better.

Jack: I do love you.

Kelly: Good. I love you, too.

Traci: Is something wrong?

Jack: No, nothing's wrong.

Kelly: Yes, something, and I think that it might make things easier if you talk to your sister about it.

Jack: No, no. There's nothing to discuss. Came at the most perfect time, because I just realized I have something at work that I forgot to take care of.

Jack: Don't do this.

Kelly: I'm sorry about our romantic dinner, but we'll do it later, okay?

Jack: Please stay.

Kelly: I'm the expert at grieving, remember? Talk to your sister.

Traci: [Sighs] What did I walk in on, Jack? And why in the world did Kelly rush to get out of here so fast?

Jack: She did that for me, so I'd have time to think.

Traci: What are you thinking about?

Jack: Going to see Phyllis again.

Traci: Oh. Jack, you're [Sighs] You're having trouble letting go, aren't you?

Victor: Well, if stitch Rayburn, or Russell -- whatever the hell his name is -- hid a crime from you, that's far worse than a little corporate espionage, so don't feel sorry for him.

Victoria: I would strongly consider playing Ben... if there wasn't a chance that he and I might be raising this baby together.

Victor: Ay. So, the answer's no?

Victoria: I'm not making any promises about getting information out of Ben, dad, but I will keep my eyes and ears open as far as Ashley's project is concerned. Okay? Are you satisfied?

Victor: For now.

Victoria: Good, because there's something else that I need you to know.

Victor: What else?

Victoria: I hope you're not gonna gloat too much when you hear this news.

Victor: Well, I'll try to contain myself. What is it?

Victoria: Billy and I -- Billy and I are officially divorced.

Victor: Ah. Oh. Well... sweetheart... come here.

Victoria: [Sighs]

Victor: I'm sorry that you have to go through this, okay?

Victoria: Okay.

Victor: But I think you made the right decision.

Victoria: Thanks, dad.

[Telephone rings]

Victor: Oh. Yeah? Uh, tell dr. Cutler to hold on for just a minute, okay? I need to take this, sweetheart.

Victoria: Of course. But who's dr. Cutler?

Maureen: It was nice talking to you, sherry.

Nikki: I know I really enjoyed this.

Maureen: You sure you're ready to remind your husband how mad you are at him still?

Nikki: Well, what's the alternative?

Maureen: More liquid courage?

Nikki: Mm, tempting.

Maureen: Oh.

Nikki: But...no.

[Cell phone chimes]

Maureen: Oh, your husband?

Nikki: Cab is here. Listen, um... some of that stuff that I said to you --

Maureen: Oh, about your husband? J-j-- that's just between you and me. It's in the vault.

Nikki: [Chuckles] Okay. No vaults necessary. All my secrets are on the front of the tabloids.

Maureen: [Chuckles]

Nikki: See ya.

Maureen: Bye.

Nikki: Bye.

Stitch: Hey. You busy?

Kelly: Uh, no. I'm free -- freer than I wanted to be.

Stitch: What does that mean?

Kelly: Nothing. What's up?

Stitch: I got a job.

Kelly: At a hospital?! Congratulations!

Stitch: It's not at a hospital.

Kelly: Hey, it's a paycheck, right? Where are you working?

Stitch: Jabot.

Kelly: Jack hired you? He didn't even say anything to me.

Stitch: Well, Jack might not even know about it. His sister Ashley gave me the job. She needed somebody with chemistry-lab experience.

Kelly: Well, I'm...relieved that somebody was able to look beyond your past.

Stitch: Ashley's okay. Not everyone in Genoa City is so willing to forget.

Kelly: It's the past, Ben. It can come take a bite out of your life anytime it feels like it.

Jack: Difficult as it was, I said goodbye to Phyllis. It isn't like I haven't come to the terms with the fact that she's not coming back. But I can't just ignore the fact that this nurse called me out of the blue.

Traci: Why do I get the feeling there's got to be something more going on here? One aborted phone call has you this unsettled?

Jack: No, there's something else.

Traci: I thought so.

Jack: I don't put much stock in dreams -- I don't -- but I had the most vivid dream of Phyllis. She was in the house. She was here. She was awake, in our bed.

Traci: Whoa. I can certainly see what prompted this. Kelly just moved in.

Jack: Yeah, I chalked it up to that myself.

Traci: Please tell me that you did not share the details of that dream with the new woman in your life.

Jack: No, I did not tell Kelly that. I don't want her thinking that I'm thinking of Phyllis al the time. I'm not! I haven't had a dream like this about Phyllis in a very long time.

Traci: But, obviously, Kelly knows something's bothering you.

Jack: Well, judging from the way she just walked out of here, yeah, I'd say you're right.

Traci: Well, then, you just have to reassure her, Jack.

Jack: Believe me, I've done everything I can to put her at ease.

Traci: I know you and Avery packed up all the rest of Phyllis' things.

Jack: Yes, and I should have done that long ago, I know, but...

Traci: You couldn't.

Jack: I couldn't... just like I can't ignore this phone call. It's gnawing at me.

Traci: I can see that. Okay. So, you feel strongly about going to check on Phyllis. What's stopping you?

Victor: Dr. Cutler is working on a very interesting project, okay? He's doing some fascinating research.

Victoria: Well, then, you shouldn't keep him waiting.

Victor: Okay.

Victoria: Take your call. We'll talk later.

Victor: Let me know about the Jabot project, all right?

Victoria: I will, and I'll be interested to hear what develops with you and dr. Cutler.

Victor: I shall do that. And I'll tell you one thing -- if I have the results I expect, then everyone will hear about it, okay?

Victoria: Bye, dad.

Victor: Doctor. Tell me you have gooood news.

Dr. Cutler: I'd like to do some damage control.

Victor: In what way?

Dr. Cutler: Phyllis' regular nurse attempted to alert Mr. Abbott to the patient's progress.

Victor: One second. Under no circumstances must Jack Abbott know about this.

Dr. Cutler: I understand. I'll handle the nurse.

Victor: See that you do.

Dr. Cutler: But there's some positive news to report. The patient's had a small breakthrough.

Victor: In what respect?

Dr. Cutler: She's trying to verbalize.

Victor: Has she said anything?

Dr. Cutler: Nothing coherent yet, but it's a major step in the right direction.

Victor: That seems to indicate that you should push ahead with your treatment, right?

Dr. Cutler: I must warn you, Mr. Newman, there are diminishing returns and possible dangerous side effects.

Victor: But wait a minute. You told me that they weren't life-threatening.

Dr. Cutler: They aren't. But ms. Newman may not come out of this the same as she was before.

Victor: Let me tell you something about Phyllis Newman. She's a risk-taker. She would want you to increase the treatment, all right? She wants to get out of this coma as soon as she can, trust me, so the risks be damned. You do it.

Stitch: One strange new pitfall of my new job is that Victoria is working for Jabot's top competition.

Kelly: The only competition you have to worry about when it comes to Victoria is Billy.

Maureen: What are the odds I'd find you two at the same time?

Both: Mom?

Maureen: [Chuckles]

Victoria: Dad?

Abby: Hey.

Victoria: Hi. Oh, hey. Have you seen dad? He was here a minute ago.

Abby: No. Um, actually, I came to see you.

Victoria: Hmm? Yeah, sure. What's going on?

Abby: I wanted to smooth things over with my big sister.

Victoria: Abby, uh, look, nothing needs smoothed over.

Abby: That's very nice of you to say, but just so you know, it was not my idea to hire stitch. I would never want to make you feel uncomfortable.

Victoria: Uncomfortable? Why in the world would I feel uncomfortable? You and everyone else at Jabot is welcome to hire whomever you want.

Abby: I know. It somehow feels sticky after everything you've been through with him.

Victoria: Well, that's over with.

Abby: Have you seen the way that stitch looks at you? You dumped him, and he's still gone over you.

Victoria: Even if that was the case --

Abby: And my mom hiring him -- look, I think that stitch took the job 'cause it gave him a reason to stick around Genoa City. Are you sure you're not uncomfortable? I'm uncomfortable.

Victoria: As long as Ben isn't working with any hazardous then there shouldn't be an issue. He isn't, is he?

Abby: I see what you just did right there -- trying to get details out of me? Clever, clever. But my mom's top-secret project is staying just that -- top-secret.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I had to try.

Abby: So, we're good?

Victoria: We're good.

Abby: Okay. And don't worry -- stitch has been warned to stay far away from you.

Traci: Apparently, something is keeping you from going to see Phyllis. Jack, what is it?

Jack: It's love. I'm too in love with Kelly to go running off to Phyllis every time I feel a pang.

Traci: A pang? Oh, m-- this is a perfectly natural reaction. Jack, of course you'd be clinging to Phyllis on some level.

Jack: It's not healthy. You know what? I've made my decision. I still feel the best course of action is to move on. We set it up at the clinic that if anything is going on there, Avery or someone will be notified.

Dr. Cutler: Nurse Hathaway. I thought I made myself clear. You're not to set foot in this wing again.

Nurse Hathaway: I just want to say goodbye to Phyllis.

Dr. Cutler: That's not a good idea. I strongly suggest that from now on, you not get so attached to your patients and never take it upon yourself to call a family without a physician's authorization.

Nurse Hathaway: Yes, sir.

Phyllis: Call...

Dr. Cutler: Phyllis? This is remarkable! You understand what you're saying? Your mental faculties are starting to come back.

Nikki: [Sighs] "My dearest Nikki... why do we fight?" I could tell you that. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. "That's why I love you. Your determination and your strength, your willingness to speak the truth no matter what." The truth. Oh. [Mutters] Oh, my gosh. [Gasps] Oh!

Victor: What in the world?

Nikki: [Gasps]

Victor: Dear me.

Nikki: Hi.

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

Christine: I'm glad you're both here. There's something I want to discuss with you.

Paul: My forensic team found some evidence on the property.

Victor: What have they found?
