Provided By Suzanne

Stitch: [Groans] My head. [Sighs]

Ashley: Hi. Good morning, handsome.

Stitch: [Sighs]

Abby: Hey, uncle Jack, I --

Jack: Can't right now, Abby! I got to get to the lab for a meeting with your mother.

Abby: That's who I was looking for. And what exactly are you looking for?

Jack: My notes for the meeting. They are here somewhere. I just saw them.

Abby: Oh. I'll help you look.

Jack: Thanks. I had breakfast with Traci this morning. She said you did some holiday celebrating with your friends last night.

Abby: Uh, yeah, I met up with some people from the office at the underground.

Jack: That sounds like fun.

Abby: Fun? No. I had to pour some guy into a cab. It was so juvenile. You know, between you and me, I think I'm too old to have fun. What are those?

Jack: You found them!

Abby: [Chuckles]

Both: Good job, Abby.

Abby: Let's go find my mom.

Jack: Yeah.

Stitch: Oh. Wow. [Sighs]

Ashley: Bad hangover, huh?

Stitch: Yeah.

Ashley: Does that mean you don't remember what happened last night?

Stitch: Yeah, I drank a little too much. I, uh...

Ashley: And you, uh...

Stitch: I should probably apologize.

Ashley: No. You don't have anything to be sorry for. I certainly don't have any regrets.

Jack: Oh, good. You're both here.

Ashley: Hi.

Jack: Hi.

Ashley: Hi, honey.

Abby: Hi! Wait, weren't you wearing those clothes yesterday?

Jack: Yeah, what is going on here?

Victoria: Yeah. What do you think? It's your first snow. It's pretty, isn't it? Oh, I know it's a little chilly out. But there's somebody that I want to introduce you to. [Clears throat] She was an amazing woman. She lived her life on her own terms. She inspired all of us to do the same thing. She was my godmother. And you know what? You are her namesake. Katherine...meet Katherine.

Paul: Well, I'm not sure the citizens of Genoa City will appreciate us both taking the morning off. Unless, of course, we're here to talk about business.

Christine: This is strictly personal.

Paul: Really?

Christine: Yes.

Paul: What are you up to?

Christine: You'll see. Oh, my gosh.

Lauren: Hey, you two!

Paul: Hi, there!

Lauren: Aren't you supposed to be at work?

Christine: No.

Paul: Yes.

Christine: [Laughs]

Lauren: Oh. Okay.

Christine: Okay, everybody's here. What's going -- is there a celebration?

Gloria: It's Michael and Lauren's anniversary.

Paul: I should know that.

Christine: Happy anniversary!

Lauren: You're sweet. Thank you.

Gloria: In fact, why don't you join the celebration?

Lauren: Oh, yes, do!

Paul: It's up to you.

Christine: Sure.

Gloria: Great. Uh, please, um, uh, table for 7.

Kevin: Shouldn't we wait for Michael? He is the other half of the anniversary couple.

Gloria: That's right. Where is your husband, Lauren?

Michael: Phyllis. What are you doing here?

Phyllis: Oh, just can't get used to these warm welcomes.

Michael: I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting you.

Phyllis: You weren't expecting your bestie to come by and wish you happy anniversary?

Michael: It's my anniversary. [Chuckles] Right.

Phyllis: It's usually an occasion that brings a smile to one's face. Unless you and your wife are having trouble.

Michael: We are not.

Phyllis: Then why are you seeing a marriage counselor?

Paul: So, are you sure you're okay with this?

Christine: Yeah. It's Michael and Lauren's anniversary. I want to help them celebrate.

Gloria: [Laughs]

Paul: I wonder where Michael is.

Gloria: Yeah, we're all wondering that, Paul.

Lauren: He's had some big cases lately. I'm sure he's just still at the office.

Gloria: It's just hard to have an anniversary celebration when 50% of the celebratees aren't here.

Lauren: Okay. I'm sure he'll be here any minute, Gloria.

Gloria: I hope so. I went through a lot of effort putting this thing together.

Kevin: And it is all about you, mom.

Christine: I am sure that Michael is out buying Lauren a beautiful anniversary present.

Lauren: Let's hope.

Gloria: Yeah, something romantic and bling-y and expensive. Take a note, lover man.

Jeff: Hey, hey, hey, hey! That, you know, pirate-themed cruise I took you on was pretty romantic and very expensive.

Gloria: Yes, it was. Yes, it was. Oh, Paul. He even dressed up as captain hook and broke into my cabin in the middle of the night to plunder and to pillage. [Laughs]

Kevin: The nausea.

Gloria: Oh! And that's exactly what you and Michael need, Lauren. A romantic getaway. I mean, forget everything and just focus on each other.

Jeff: Yeah, with fen away at college, you and hubby have all the time in the world. You should take advantage of that.

Lauren: [Chuckles] [Sighs]

Michael: I recommended dr. Whitman to one of my clients.

Phyllis: So you and Lauren aren't having problems? I know there was the whole carmine thing last year.

Michael: Everything is fine between us. Thank you.

Phyllis: Okay. And you'd tell me if it weren't?

Michael: Yes. Now, why don't you tell me why you came here, because it certainly wasn't just to wish me a happy anniversary.

Phyllis: I wanted to let you know that I am taking steps to reclaim my life.

Michael: Do I want to know what that means?

Phyllis: It's all good. For me, anyway.

Michael: Naturally.

Phyllis: As you know, Jack and I are engaged.

Michael: Yes, you've told me repeatedly.

Phyllis: And I am back working at Jabot as the head of the fashion division.

Michael: You are the only person who could get promoted while still in a coma.

Phyllis: Now that my personal and professional life are back on track, I want to make sure that my legal and financial affairs are in order.

Michael: Anything in particular?

Phyllis: I'd like to do a full accounting of my assets, make sure no one ripped me off while I was at the clinic.

Michael: Well, Daniel held the power of attorney over your estate, but I did keep an eye on your holdings, your bank accounts, investments, the property you owned.

Phyllis: Good. Then I can assume that there have been no significant changes I need to worry about?

Michael: Well... there is one major change you should be aware of.

Summer: Okay. How's that?

Austin: Fine.

Summer: Just fine?

Austin: It's great.

Summer: Now you're just saying that.

Austin: [Chuckles] Okay, you can't freak out every single time we have someone over for lunch.

Summer: It's not just anyone. It's my mom.

Austin: And your mom's not gonna care whether we have blue napkins or white, okay? When I was growing up, we had one set of napkins, and they were paper.

Summer: But you don't understand. Everything has to be perfect.

Austin: Why?

Summer: Because I want my mom to see that I can do this. You know, run a home or host a lunch.

Austin: So, you convince her you're Suzy homemaker, then what?

Summer: Then she'll realize that I'm a grownup, and that I knew what I was doing when I married you.

Austin: You're asking a lot of a chicken Caesar salad.

Summer: [Chuckles] Okay, maybe I should have gone with the crab Louie.

Austin: I don't even know what that is.

Summer: Okay, maybe I am freaking out a little bit. All right, a lot. I just feel like if I do this right, then my mom will see us together in our home and she'll realize how in love we are.

Austin: And if she doesn't?

Summer: Then Jack will be here. He knows how to keep things calm.

Jack: Is somebody gonna answer my question?

Abby: Well, I think it's obvious what happened. Stitch spent the night here.

Jack: Why would you do that? You have a place of your own, presumably with a bed.

Abby: Well, he was so drunk that he probably gave the taxi driver his work address and not his home address.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, this is the guy you poured into a cab last night?

Abby: Yeah, well, he wasn't fit to drive. I assumed that he could give someone the correct address. Apparently I was wrong.

Jack: Is she right about this?

Stitch: Yeah, uh --

Jack: Did you spend the night here?

Stitch: Yeah, I didn't plan to, but -- and, Ashley, I'm sorry for making your couch my bed.

Ashley: Not a problem. I don't mind.

Jack: I do. This is a very expensive, high-tech facility, not some flophouse for wayward drunks.

Ashley: Jack, come on.

Jack: Ash, there is highly confidential material in this lab. Now that we have security in place, we can't have an intoxicated employee wandering around here in the middle of the night. We can't.

Ashley: Jack, it was a one-time thing.

Jack: You don't know that. I'm sorry, stitch. You're fired.

Both: No!

Summer: Are you sure I shouldn't have gone with the other napkins?

Austin: That's what you were thinking about when we were kissing? I've really lost my touch.

Summer: No. Not at all. I just -- I want everything to be --

Austin: Perfect? Yeah, I got it. You know, my mom once told me to stop trying to make things so perfect, to just try my best, and that was enough.

Summer: Yeah, well, you sure grew up a lot differently than I did. The Newmans are always expected to be perfect.

Austin: It's hard to achieve something that isn't possible.

Summer: My grandpa thinks it is possible.

Austin: Maybe you should stop trying to impress everybody, you know? Except me, of course.

Summer: [Chuckles]

Austin: Mm.

Summer: No, no, no, no. Austin, Austin. We can't.

Austin: Okay, look. Your mom and Jack, they're not gonna be here for awhile.

Summer: Yeah, what if they show up early?

Austin: Then they'll really see how much we love each other. [Laughs]

Summer: No, they'll think that we're a bunch of kids fooling around during the day.

Austin: And what's wrong with that?

Summer: That's exactly how my mom sees me -- right out of high school, not having gone past third base with my boyfriend.

Austin: Okay. One day your mom's gonna have to realize that you're a grown woman with a husband.

Summer: Yeah, and in time, she will.

Phyllis: How in the hell was this allowed to happen?

Michael: By the time I was told about this transaction, it was already a done deal.

Phyllis: My God, you wake up after a year in a coma, and you just assume the people you love haven't betrayed you while you were out of commission.

Michael: I'm not sure that's what happened here.

Phyllis: Every single time I think I have found my footing, someone pulls the rug right out from under me. How could this even happen?

Michael: Phyllis, I really think you're blowing this out of proportion.

Phyllis: Michael! Someone robbed me.

Michael: Look, I've come to believe that when a problem involves money, it really isn't a problem.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you know what? I am not the dalai lama, and when someone steals from me, I'm not gonna let it slide because it's good for my soul!

Michael: I just need you to be reasonable here, just once! Reasonable!

Phyllis: I am gonna figure this out.

Michael: I guess not. I guess not.

Phyllis: You know what? I'm gonna go. You celebrate your anniversary, have a good time, and you be happy that you have people in your life that you can actually trust if you put your life in their hands. I will talk to you later.

Michael: Yes.

Jack: I cannot believe the two of you are defending stitch's behavior, especially you.

Abby: Well, I'm not saying what he did was right, but he doesn't deserve to be fired.

Ashley: We can't afford to fire him. Have you forgotten the huge contribution he's made to our new fragrance?

Jack: I don't care what he's done. If genius chemist comes stumbling in here and accidentally lets in a corporate spy, this revolutionary product of yours we've already spent millions on will be worth less.

Stitch: Jack, what I did was wrong, but it's not who I am, okay? I just -- I got some tough news, and I reacted badly.

Abby: I think we should cut him a break. I mean, he's had a tough time.

Stitch: And that's no excuse for what happened last night, but I promise it won't happen again.

Jack: Okay. Maybe I overreacted. For what it's worth, I know what it's like to find out you're not the father of a child you desperately wanted to be yours.

Stitch: So does that mean I'm not fired?

Jack: You have one last chance to get it right.

Stitch: And I won't screw it up, okay? I'll get ready for the meeting.

Jack: No, no. [Sighs] As important as this meeting is, given the circumstances, I think perhaps we ought to reconvene.

Ashley: That's probably not a bad idea.

Jack: Go over these in the meantime. I've sent you a copy of those by e-mail.

Ashley: Okay.

Stitch: Uh...I lost my phone.

Abby: Oh, it's over here. I saw it earlier.

Stitch: Thanks. Excuse me.

Victoria: Hey. Ben, it's me. I got your message. Um... we just keep missing each other. But I really want to talk to you. I have something to tell you.

Stitch: Um, you know, I'm gonna have to step out for -- for a little bit. Um, thank you.

Ashley: Wait a second. I thought we were gonna go over Jack's notes?

Stitch: No, and it [Sighs] Won't take long. Uh...thanks again, Jack.

Jack: Are we making a mistake here?

Victoria: I really wish you could have met the original Katherine. Describing her is just... it's not really gonna do her justice. [Chuckles] Katherine chancellor defied description. She was sassy, but kind. She was strong, yet vulnerable. She was opinionated, but very open-minded. She was principled, but she lived her life on the edge. And she wasn't afraid to make a choice, and she was all of those things all at once. I think that's what I admired about her the most. If there was a difficult decision to be made, she did not shy away from it. No, she didn't. Maybe I should take a page from my godmother's playbook, huh? [Sighs] There's a decision I've been putting off. I think I need to make a choice.

[Doorbell rings]

Summer: Okay, they're here. How do I look? How does the place look? I knew I should have gone with the other napkins.

Austin: Hey. Everything looks great.

Summer: [Sighs] Okay. Okay.

Austin: Okay.

Summer: Mom. Hi. Where's Jack?

Phyllis: He'll be here. May I come in?

Summer: Yeah, sorry. Come in.

Phyllis: Summer. Wow! [Laughing] This place is big! And so spacious. I love what you've done with it.

Summer: Thank you.

Phyllis: Look at this view! You can see the downtown and the park. It's stunning.

Summer: Yeah, it's nice.

Phyllis: Yeah, it's more than nice. It's spectacular. I imagine expensive.

Summer: Um, yeah, I guess.

Phyllis: I'm just wondering when you were gonna tell me that you sold my penthouse to pay for it.

Michael: [Sighs]

[Cell phone rings]

Michael: Hello, Gloria.

Gloria: You were supposed to be at the athletic club. Your entire family is here waiting to celebrate your anniversary.

Michael: I know.

Gloria: If you know, why aren't you here?

Michael: I have something to take care of. I'll be there as soon as I can.

Gloria: As soon as you can? Mic--

Gloria: I just called your brother. He hung up on me.

Kevin: That's good.

Gloria: You know, Kevin, when I was young, children were a little less rude to their parents.

Kevin: I'm not a child. I'm an adult being rude to you.

Gloria: No, you are a brat, and you can't keep your eyes off your new little toy. You know, in my day --

Kevin: You know, I'm sure in your day, there was some very interesting things coming through your telegraph machine.

Gloria: We had telephones. And we had respect. Unlike you. I mean, what is so fascinating in that thing that you can't take your eyes off of it and have a conversation with me?

Kevin: Hey, hey! Mom! Give me my phone.

Paul: Well, I have a cause.

Christine: Hey, Lauren.

Lauren: Hmm?

Christine: You okay?

Lauren: Yeah.

Christine: Did you call Michael?

Lauren: You know, he's been so crazy busy lately. I just -- I don't want to bother him.

Christine: Okay, I thought him teaming up with Avery was supposed to lighten his load.

Lauren: Right, well, it doesn't look like they've worked out the kinks yet.

Michael: [Sighs] [Sighs]

Jeff: Paul. Just the man I wanted to talk to.

Paul: What is it, Bardwell?

Jeff: Um... let me ask you a question.

Paul: Go ahead.

Jeff: If one, hypothetically speaking, wanted to get charges against somebody dropped, how would he go about doing that? Hypothetically.

Paul: Are these "hypothetical" charges the ones being brought against Ben Russell?

Jeff: [Chuckles] Well, I don't know if you've heard, but I've decided to do the decent thing and drop my lawsuit against memorial hospital.

Paul: Well, we all know how much you value decency.

Jeff: Well, exactly. Which is why I was wondering how to make the criminal charges against Russell disappear, too.

Christine: You don't.

Paul: The DA decides whether or not to go ahead with the case.

Jeff: Yeah, but if I suddenly remembered that I got stellar care from the good doctor, it probably wouldn't be worth it to pursue.

Christine: No, it probably wouldn't.

Jeff: Well, then. I have nothing but good things to say about the treatment I received from dr. Russell. So, case closed.

Christine: Did you think it would be that simple?

Jeff: Well, without me, you have no case.

Paul: She doesn't have a case against stitch.

Jeff: What do you mean?

Christine: I could still bring charges against you.

Jeff: What?

Christine: Did you really think you could act so cavalierly with a man's life?

Jeff: [Sighs]

Victoria: No, Mom, Katie's asleep, so there's no need for you to rush back. Yeah, I'm sure.

[Doorbell rings]

Victoria: Okay. I'll talk to you then.

Stitch: I came as soon as I sobered up.

Victoria: Sobered up? Oh. Tequila.

Stitch: Look, Vick, if you asked me to come over here so you could let me down, just get it over with.

Gloria: What is the "one-eyed bludgeoner"?

Kevin: None of your business.

Gloria: Mm-hmm. Are you in some kind of trouble again?

Kevin: Why do you always assume that?

Gloria: Oh, let me think. Oh, yes. History, observation, oh, and facts. And the fact that I've seen gruesome things on your computer before.

Kevin: "A," thanks. "B," this is a phone, and "C," I'm fine.

Gloria: Okay. Enjoy. But you would tell me if you were.

Kevin: Oh, mom. No.

Gloria: I quit.

Kevin: Thank God.

[Cell phone rings]

Kevin: [British accent] Hello? Uh, yes, this is Plato sphere. [Normal voice] My story got how many hits?! Well, uh... [Clears throat] [British accent] Yes, that's very impressive. Uh, n-no, no. Plato sphere doesn't do personal appearances.

Jeff: Can you believe Paul and Christine threatened to have me arrested? Here I'm trying to do the right thing and --

Gloria: Shut up, Jeffrey. I got other things on my mind right now.

Jeff: Oh, sweet cheeks. I'm sorry. What's wrong?

Gloria: I'm afraid Kevin is falling back into his old ways, and why isn't Michael at his own anniversary party?!

Paul: Hey. You're worried about him, aren't you?

Lauren: He'll be here. I know he will.

Victoria: So, you thought I called you over here to say goodbye.

Stitch: Your message was a little vague.

Victoria: I thought you were coming by last night after work?

Stitch: I did. I looked through the window and saw you and Billy with your daughter.

Victoria: Oh, you saw -- you saw us.

Stitch: Yep. Looking like a picture-perfect family. I expected to see the three of you, uh, in a picture on FacePlace with your new status.

Victoria: You think that I got back together with Billy.

Stitch: I just assumed.

Victoria: [Chuckles] Well...why didn't you ask me

Stitch: Wait, so -- so you're not?

Victoria: No, I -- Billy brought by the tree for Katherine, and we decorated it together. It was all for her. Nothing's changed between Billy and me.

Stitch: So, is that why you asked me to come by?

Victoria: That's part of it.

Stitch: Then what's the other part?

Victoria: I don't really know where things are gonna end up with us.

Stitch: You're saying they could end up somewhere?

Victoria: If we're gonna give this a shot, then we just really need to be honest with each other. Do you think you can do that?

Ashley: I think Abby's right. Ben's been going through a difficult time, but he seems to be moving beyond it.

Jack: Abby, what do you think?

Abby: Well, I agree with mom. He's not gonna do something as stupid as he did last night again.

Jack: Okay, look, I hope you're both right. As far as security goes, I think we need to stay on full alert.

Ashley: Why? Has there been a breach?

Jack: No. I saw Victor yesterday, and he's snooping around again, trying to see what we're onto.

Ashley: Did he say anything specific?

Jack: No, but I think we all have to be on guard when we're dealing with him. Anything he does could be an effort to get more information.

Abby: Do you want me to check him for a wire every time I hug him?

Jack: Gee, why do I like the sound of that?

Ashley: That's not even funny. I told you I don't want Abby stuck in the middle of your stupid war with Victor.

Abby: Mom, don't worry. I can handle it.

Jack: Okay, wait. If we don't have a meeting, I could st-- Summer invited Phyllis and me to lunch at her place today.

Ashley: That's nice.

Jack: Yeah, it is. This way I can always have a relationship with Summer through Phyllis.

Phyllis: Jack sold my penthouse?

Summer: It was Jack's idea, yeah. He took care of it for Daniel and me. Put the money into a trust.

Phyllis: I don't care about the money. I care about our home. [Sighs] Nice to know how much I mattered to all of you.

Summer: Mom, you know much you mean to me.

Phyllis: Really? Then is that the reason you gave up on me?

Summer: I never gave up on you.

Phyllis: Then why was it so easy for you to let go of our home?

Summer: Because you weren't there. Do you know what it was like living in that place without you? I hated it. Everywhere I turned, there was reminders of you, and I missed you so much, but --

Phyllis: So selling it made it easier? To forget me? Is that what you're saying?

Summer: Mom, no.

Austin: Summer didn't move out of your penthouse to hurt you.

Phyllis: No. She did this so the two of you could live in this shiny apartment, which I know you have not paid one cent for.

Summer: Austin works two jobs to support us. And Jack bought this, so neither of us paid for it.

Phyllis: That's amazing. That is really amazing how everyone has just moved on, as if I never existed, as if I was never gonna come back. My home, my job, my little girl -- all of it is gone. Maybe I shouldn't have come back at all.

Summer: Don't say that. I missed you every second that you were gone, and I need you. I want you here. You have to believe that.

Phyllis: I want to.

Summer: Mom, I know it seems like everyone just moved on, but I flew down there as often as I could to see you. I called or video-chatted almost every day. I didn't know if you could hear me or not. But I never gave up on you, not for one second. I love you so much. And Jack and I are so grateful that you're back. Please believe it.

Phyllis: Stop it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know. I know that you are grateful. I am sorry. I am just dealing with -- with a lot of other things that's, you know, happened since I was gone, you know? A lot of things.

Summer: I understand. Can we just forget about it and have a nice lunch, please?

Phyllis: I can't. I just actually remembered that there's something I have to deal with now.

Summer: Right now?

Phyllis: Yes. And we will do lunch another time, okay? I promise you. I promise you.

Summer: Okay.

Phyllis: Okay.

Michael: [Sighs]

Victoria: So, is there anything that you want to tell me? I mean, like maybe why you look like this. You're all rumpled. Is that the tequila.

Stitch: It was a weird night.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I can't really hold it against you. I mean, considering the condition that I was in the first night that we were together.

Stitch: Yeah, we were pretty banged up, weren't we? We were in rough shape. [Chuckles]

Victoria: Well, you know, people do crazy things when they're not thinking clearly.

Stitch: They do.

Victoria: [Chuckles] Look... I want -- I want to make a fresh start with you. And, um, I still have a lot of things to work out with Billy, like co-parenting and joint custody and all that, and I don't want to shortchange Katherine and Johnny.

Stitch: I get it. Kids come first. I'm just -- I'm happy you're giving me a second chance. And I won't let you down. I promise.

Victoria: [Chuckles] Okay.

[Cell phone rings]

Stitch: Oh, um... I'm sorry. It's Paul Williams.

Victoria: Take it. Go ahead.

Stitch: Hey, Paul. What's up?

Paul: Hey, stitch. I'm glad I caught you. Uh, listen, I thought you'd like to know that, um... the D.A. Has decided to drop the charges against you.

Stitch: So there's not gonna be a trial?

Paul: No, Jeff Bardwell is not cooperating, so Chris has, uh... chosen not to go forward with the case. And he's also withdrawing his suit against Genoa City memorial.

Stitch: Well, that's great news.

Paul: Yeah, I thought it might be a weight off your back. So, um, good luck. All right, I should probably go and take care of paperwork.

Christine: Wait, wait, wait. I -- [Sighs] I invited you to breakfast for a reason, remember?

Paul: Oh, that's right. You wanted to talk to me about something. I'm sorry. I totally forgot.

Christine: Well, that's because you have a big, generous heart. You're concerned about Lauren and Michael, you're worried about stitch. [Sighs] You care about so many people, and I just hope...that those wonderful qualities can be inherited by... our baby.

Paul: Our baby?

Christine: Uh-huh. [Chuckles]

Paul: What, are you telling me --

Christine: I took a home pregnancy test.

Paul: And?

Christine: It was positive. I think I'm -- I think I'm pregnant.

Paul: Oh, my gosh! We're gonna have a baby!

Christine: Yes.

Paul: [Laughing] Oh, my God! Oh, that's amazing!

Ashley: Did you send me a proposal for the marketing mix you're working on?

Abby: Yesterday. I wonder what happened with stitch. Probably something with Victoria.

Ashley: Why do you say that?

Abby: Because he was supposed to go to her house last night, and he showed up at the underground and got stupid drunk.

Ashley: I can't find the e-mail. What's the subject?

Abby: "M.M. For tsp."

Ashley: "M.M. For tsp."

Abby: Yeah. Marketing mix for top-secret project.

Ashley: Seriously?

Abby: Uncle Jack said to be careful.

Ashley: [Chuckles] Okay. All right, I'll try that then.

Abby: Try it.

Tobias: Hey, Ashley. Hi, Abby.

Abby: Hey, Tobias. How's your new job going?

Tobias: Just about to get started.

Ashley: Yeah? What are you working on?

Abby: Dr. Russell asked me to run his latest samples through the centrifuge.

Ashley: Okay. Well, make sure you send me a copy of whatever you get, okay? Your results.

Tobias: Will do.

Ashley: Okay. Thanks. Let me show you this.

Ashley: So, Tobias --

Jack: Wow. On the list of things I knew Phyllis was gonna be upset about, selling the penthouse was nowhere near the top.

Austin: She was definitely pissed.

Summer: You should have heard her. She accused me of forgetting about her and wishing she'd never come back.

Jack: I'm sure she didn't mean any of those things.

Summer: She hasn't answered any of my calls or my texts.

Austin: You want me to go look for her?

Summer: [Sighs] No. My mom truly believes that we moved on and forgot about her when she was in the coma. I think that you should go find her, Jack.

Jack: Me?

Summer: She needs to know it's not the truth. She needs to know how devoted we were to her and what we went through waiting for her to get out of the coma. It has to come from you.

Victoria: Now that Christine is dropping the case against you, you can work on clearing your name. You know what? You should call Avery. She's an amazing lawyer.

Stitch: Whoa, Vick, Vick. Hold up. I told you that I didn't kill my dad, but I'm not going to the authorities, and I hope you won't, either.

Victoria: Ben, you're innocent.

Stitch: Hey, I made my choice years ago to protect my mom. I'm not going back on that. Plus, I served my time. It's over.

Victoria: How can you say that? You lost everything. You lost your job, you lost your son.

Stitch: Not everything. I still got you in my corner.

Victoria: I'm glad that I finally know the truth. You know what? It feels good not having any secrets between us.

Tobias: I want to make sure I put the right samples into the centrifuge. Dr. Russell said he put his latest data in the files.

Ashley: I wanted you to see that the samples are actually right there.

Tobias: [Chuckles] Thanks. I'll get right on that.

Abby: It's funny. I felt so bad for stitch yesterday, so sad and broken, like he had lost his best friend.

Ashley: I really have to find this proposal. We have to start working on it.

Abby: And today he seemed so different.

Abby: Mom?

Ashley: What?

Abby: We were right not to fire stitch, weren't we?

Ashley: Absolutely.

Abby: Would you find that e-mail, please?

Abby: Sure.

Ashley: Stitch is far too important for us to have let him go.

Michael: I am sorry, Lauren. I was working and time just --

Kevin: Stop lying, Michael.

Michael: What are you doing?

Lauren: What's he talking about?

Michael: Nothing.

Kevin: Michael's being late has nothing to do with work.

Michael: Really? You're gonna do that here?

Lauren: Why didn't you show up to our anniversary celebration?

Michael: I couldn't.

Lauren: And that's all you're gonna say about it?

Michael: Yes.

Lauren: Do you have any idea how humiliating it was for me to send everyone home because you weren't here?

Michael: I'm sorry.

Lauren: Look, I understand that something's wrong in our marriage, and I can't imagine that it would be another woman, but, honestly, I don't know what else to think.

Michael: Lauren, there is no one else. I swear to you.

Lauren: Then what is it? What?

Michael: It's just work.

Kevin: Michael, stop it.

Michael: Please.

Kevin: No.

Michael: You stay out of this!

Kevin: I am tired of watching you lie to Lauren, so you can tell her or I will.

Lauren: Michael. Michael, please. Please just tell me what it is.

Michael: Okay. I will tell you the truth.

Summer: Jack's right. It doesn't make sense that my mom would be so upset about Jack selling her penthouse.

Austin: It wasn't the apartment she was upset about.

Summer: What do you mean?

Austin: I was just thinking about all the things she said, about being forgotten and people moving on.

Summer: You don't think that she --

Austin: Is there any way she could have found out about Jack and Kelly?

Jack: Phyllis, I just saw Summer. I know you're upset. We need to speak. Call me and we can straighten this out, okay? Where are you, red?

Phyllis: Excuse me. Is Kelly Andrews working today? Never mind. I'll find her.

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

Dylan: Will you marry me?

Lauren: Damn you that you knew that you had cancer for weeks and didn't tell me!

Phyllis: He was alone and vulnerable, but you were damaged.
