[Glasses clink]

Ashley: I'm all dressed up and waiting for you, handsome.

Stitch: Uh...

Victoria: Are you ready to meet her? Here she is. Yeah. Your new baby sister. Huh? What do you think?

Reed: She looks a lot better than her picture.

Victoria: Well, you know, her dad took that picture right after she was born, and that's not really the best look for any of us, right? But now you're all gonna have each other -- you and Johnny and Katherine. We're all gonna be together. One big, happy family.

Reed: Then where's Billy?

Billy: Hey, Chels, can you give me a hand with these cufflinks?

Chelsea: What's wrong with them?

Billy: My shirt's too stiff.

Chelsea: Oh. Let me see.

Billy: Did you forget something?

Chelsea: Like what?

Billy: We're going to the New Year's Eve party at the club. Or is this a Chelsea Lawson by Jabot fashion statement?

Chelsea: Oh, no, this is my, um, "before Connor can spill something on me" strategy.

Billy: So you can't get dressed until your mom shows up to babysit.

Chelsea: Not if I want to be half of the most stylish couple at the party.

Billy: I am down with that plan.

Chelsea: I've spent some time fantasizing about kissing you at midnight.

Billy: Yeah? Me, too. Except I'm fantasizing about it at all hours. I mean, why limit ourselves to midnight on New Year's Eve? [Chuckles]

Chelsea: Where's my mom?

Anita: I cannot decide which of these adorable cupcakes is going to be the perfect adorable cupcake for my daughter's adorable son. I just, ugh! I've whittled it down to three.

Adam: Yeah? Well, how about that one right there? The guy on the outside.

Anita: Why? Why that one?

Adam: Well, uh, because it has a-a dinosaur on the top of it. I mean, what -- what little boy wouldn't -- wouldn't want that?

Anita: You. I know what you're doing.

Dylan: Okay, stop that. Don't change a thing. You look beautiful.

Avery: Well, let me change one thing. Here.

Dylan: You know what I want?

Avery: A glass of champagne? Me, too.

Dylan: Let's do it. Let's have one right here, right now.

Avery: Dylan.

Dylan: Come on. Our private Christmas turned into another free-for-all. We deserve to make New Year's Eve about us.

Avery: Yes, but our landmark status got shut down, so we need to go to this party...

Dylan: [Sighs]

Avery: ...And schmooze every VIP. That we can find.

Dylan: Do you really think schmoozing's gonna help us save crimson lights?

Avery: Yes. And knowing our competition, you can bet that Joe Clark will be working that room.

Dylan: Is that why we're going to this party? For me to compete?

Avery: No, not at all.

Dylan: Then let's not go. Let's just stay right here. Come on.

Avery: [Sighs] Okay, um, no. Midnight. We can leave at midnight.

Dylan: No schmoozing.

Avery: Minimal schmoozing.

Dylan: I just want tonight to be about us.

Avery: And it is all about us ringing in the new year together. Come on. Let's go. Yeah. Thanks.

Joe: The place looks great. I love that you and lily went all out for this event.

Cane: 'Cause it bodes well for your little cocktail party?

Joe: You read my mind. This is gonna work, cane. We're gonna remove all and any doubt that the people of Genoa City have concerning this redevelopment project.

Cane: Well, my wife is one of those doubters.

Joe: Well, for now, but I've got confidence lily will come through.

Cane: Hmm. You think you can charm anybody, don't you?

Joe: Not anybody. You know, 98%, 99%, yeah.

Cane: Well, she's in that 1% and 2%.

Joe: For now.

Cane: Yeah, for now. Speaking of which, uh, so is your ex. Your charm's not working on her, is it?

Joe: Well, when charm doesn't work, you try something new.

Cane: Yeah? Like what?

Joe: The night is young.

Kelly: I want everything to be just right.

Lily: Uh, I really think you should take the night off.

Kelly: What? Why would I do that?

Lily: Because Jack and Phyllis are coming.

Kelly: Look, I said that I would deal with it, lily, and I intend to do just that.

Lily: I know you say that, but as soon as they walk through the door, I know you.

Kelly: Lily, I've worked too hard to make this party a success. I'm not gonna let anything or anybody ruin it.

Phyllis: Oh, honey, thank you. Did you look?

Jack: I've seen shoes before, Phyllis.

Phyllis: You did look! I knew I should have gone out to the car myself.

Jack: I swear to you, I did not peek. I did not get a glimpse of your new shoes.

Phyllis: All right, well, prepare to be dazzled. I'm gonna reappear and just be dressed and fabulous faster than you can blink.

Jack: I'm in no rush.

Phyllis: I want tonight to be perfect.

Jack: It will be.

Phyllis: Hey. How did you spend last New Year's? I didn't see it on Austin's video that he made me.

Jack: I went to the annual bash at the club, but only because my sisters twisted my arm.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Solo?

Jack: Solo? I went with my sisters. And it didn't make the video because it was the same old, same old. You know, too much booze, too much noise, too many people desperately trying to have a good time. All the things I try to avoid at all times, especially last year.

Phyllis: How about the party planner? You want to avoid her?

Jack: I am just fine seeing Kelly at the party.

Phyllis: You seem worried about something. Is it me?

Jack: You do have a penchant for turning special events into grand opera.

Phyllis: When did I ever?

Jack: When you came back to Genoa City.

Phyllis: Please.

Jack: Crashing Nick and Sharon's wedding with that sexy, white dress.

Phyllis: That was an exceptional situation.

Jack: Yeah, there have been a few exceptional situations over the years.

Phyllis: I thought you loved my flair for the dramatic.

Jack: Not tonight.

Phyllis: Oh, Jack, don't worry. I know when to turn on the La Traviata and when to turn it off.

Jack: Since when?

Phyllis: Since tonight. New Year's resolution. I just want to spend time with our friends and ring out 2014 and all its darkest moments.

Jack: There were some bright moments.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I know how hard this year has been for you, and you have not complained, thinking it was worse for me.

Jack: It was worse for you.

Phyllis: Well, I slept through most of it. But you, honey, had many losses. Learning that Summer was really nick's daughter and the unbearable tragedy of Delia, which also cost you someone you thought of as a son. Even if Adam didn't deserve your loyalty. So, tonight, I want to help you forget all sadness and ring in this new year with all its possibilities.

[Door opens]

Summer: Mom! I need your help! I'm meeting Austin at the underground for New Year's, and this dress is a complete -- oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Phyllis: [Laughs] My daughter needs me. This year is getting off to the perfect start. Come on. Let's see what's wrong with this dress.

Anita: You do not have to pretend to be interested in my grand-- well, my daughter's son just to score points with me.

Adam: Busted.

Anita: See, flirting works.

Adam: Okay, well, you know, I can certainly do that. And, uh, you know, let me -- let me get this cupcake since it was my suggestion.

Anita: Oh.

Adam: You think they can break $100? It's all I have.

Anita: Well, I'm sure they can. Uh...

Adam: Here you go.

Anita: Thanks.

Adam: You're welcome. But let's be honest. You're way too young to be a grandmother, right? I mean, the cupcake, it's for your date tonight, right?

Anita: I do have a date with the cutest baby boy in the world.

Adam: It's just hard to believe that a woman as alluring as you wouldn't be out on the town on New Year's Eve.

Anita: Oh. Well, my daughter's had a hell of a year, and I don't mind babysitting. I mean, she really does need to have some fun.

Adam: Hmm. Well, good.

Anita: So, anyway, uh... oh, well, thanks.

Adam: You're welcome. I hope she appreciates the generosity. I really do. What's -- what's she doing for you tonight?

Anita: Well, I told my Chelsea at midnight and toast in the new year at the club.

Adam: Hmm. Club? Like thumping music and, uh, strobe lights? That kind of club?

Anita: [Laughs] No. No, Genoa City Athletic.

Adam: Oh, okay.

Anita: It's more classy than trendy. Everyone who's "anyone" is gonna be there.

Adam: Sure.

Anita: Yeah. Okay.

Anita: Okay. Bye.

Adam: Bye. Good to meet you.

Anita: Yeah.

Billy: So you go get dressed, and I'll track down Anita.

Chelsea: Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like this gonna get going until later anyway.

Billy: I wanted to make a stop on the way. Reed's in town. I wanted to wish him a happy new year. Johnny and Katie, too.

Chelsea: Why don't you go to Victoria's now, say hi to the kids while I get dressed?

Billy: Oh, come with me.

Chelsea: Billy, I don't have to be connected to your side every single time you go to Victoria's. Besides, I need to make myself presentable while I wait for my mom.

Billy: You could show up to that place in a sack and be the most beautiful woman in the room. You sure you're coming?

Chelsea: Yes, I am completely sure. I am ending my year with you. So go say hi to your kids. Besides, Victoria has somebody else to be kissing at midnight while I'm kissing you. See you.

Stitch: You look amazing.

Ashley: Thank you. You look freshly showered.

Stitch: Yeah, well, you know, I like a good, hot shower. [Chuckles] Sorry. Look, I thought I'd take advantage of my time off and get a workout in.

Ashley: That's what you're doing for New Year's Eve, huh?

Stitch: Yeah. I'm gonna pass on the party for a quiet celebration at home.

Ashy: Nice. With Victoria?

Stitch: Yeah. Yeah.

Ashley: Don't do it. Don't. Come on. You can't be uncomfortable with me, all right? We're adults, and it was just one night. Granted, it was a great night, but let's just move on, okay? And, uh, I hope you have a great new year.

Stitch: I hope you have a good one, too. I mean, sounds like it started off right. Did I hear you say someone was meeting you?

Ashley: Oh, perhaps. I don't know.

Stitch: [Chuckles] Come on. You're not wearing a dress like that for a girls' night out with Abby.

Ashley: Right, probably not.

Joe: I just got your message.

Ashley: Hi.

Joe: I assume that was for me.

Ashley: Yeah. Definitely. Uh, Joe Clark, this is Ben Russell. Ben and I work together, and I know Joe from New York.

Stitch: Well, have a good date tonight.

Ashley: Thank you.

Stitch: Happy New Year.

Ashley: You, too. Bye.

Joe: Nice to meet you. Wow. You look stunning.

Ashley: Thank you. So do you.

Joe: Shall we?

Ashley: Yes.

Victoria: Billy doesn't live a anymore. You know that. But, you know, he was there when , , and he'll always be her dad, just like I'll always be your mom, eve though we can't always be together. Right?

[Door opens]

Victoria: Hey.

Stitch: Happy new

Victoria: Hi.

Stitch: Hey.

Victoria: Oh, Ben, you remember my son, Reed.

Stitch: I sure do.

Victoria: [Chuckles]

Stitch: Nice to see you, I have a son just about your age. His name's Max.

Reed: Does -- does he live here?

Stitch: He's in Australia. It's actually already next year over there. He's probably out in the ocean boogie-boarding right now as we speak.

Victoria: Wow. Cause, well, you know, it's the other side of the world, so it's Summer there now

Stitch: Hey, you know, Max sent me some pretty cool videos. See?

Reed: Oh, yeah, that'd be cool.

Stitch: Check them out.

Victoria: Well, it looks like you've wowed my son into the idea of celebrating New Year's on the

Stitch: Yeah? Maybe next year?

Victoria: I like the sound of that. Next year.

Stitch: Yeah. We've got nothing but time. Hey.

Billy: Just in time.

Chelsea: Well, why didn't you answer your phone? Isis way you only have to nag me about being late once. Besides, that treat for Connor.

Chelsea: Aww. Cute.

Anita: Mm-hmm

Billy: Got to admit, any boy would love to get that.

Anita: Well, that said.

Chelsea: Who's he? Dylan?

Anita: This rich, handsome, young man who picked it out and then insisted on buying it for me.

Billy: How young?

Anita: Old enough to know a good thing when he sees it. He was flirting shamelessly with me. Even have to use Connor as bait.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for tearing yourself away from all the action, Mother.

Anita: Anything for my little Connor.

Chelsea: If you want to say hi, he's upstairs, but no treats until tomorrow.

Anita: You party pooper. It's New Year's. Be o one cupcake.

Chelsea: One cupcake that will keep him awake until New Year's Day. I have to change. Um, I'll meet you at the party?

Anita: What? You're not going together?

Chelsea: Well, Billy wants to wish the kids a happy new year. Bye. See you soon.

Anita: Yeah, I know the ball doesn't drop for a few more hours, but, um, come here.

Billy: So, does this mean we're starting the new year with a clean slate?

Anita: Yeah, I still have my doubts about your loyalty to my daughter, especially with an ex waiting in the wings.

Billy: Anita --

Anita: But I can't deny that you put a smile on Chelsea's face. And after she lost Adam, I never thought I'd see her happy again. Okay?

Summer: I wasn't gonna get a new dress for the party at the underground because Austin and I are sticking to a budget, so I was gonna wear this old one, but it makes me look like a little girl. Can we do something to it?

Phyllis: Yeah. No. This is a disaster.

Summer: Mom, what am I gonna do?

Phyllis: Just calm down. I have a dress for you upstairs.

Summer: You do?

Phyllis: Yeah, you're gonna love it. It's sleek and sophisticated.

Summer: Okay, thank you, thank you. I love you. Can you help me get ready, please?

Phyllis: Yes! Of course.

Jack: You know what? It's starting to sound like this may take a little while.

Summer: I'm sorry.

Jack: Don't be. Don't be. I still have some end-of-the-year paperwork I got to get to the office anyway.

Phyllis: I'm gonna see you later at the party?

Jack: Where else would I be tonight but with you?

Phyllis: Good.

Jack: Hey, you and Austin have a wonderful new year.

Summer: Thank you. Love you, too. Jack, wait. Um... whatever happens this year, I just want you to know that this past year, when I needed you most... I-I don't even know how to say it.

Jack: You know what? I am incredibly grateful I got to be there for you when your mom couldn't.

Summer: Me, too.

Joe: Happy New Year.

Dylan: Joe, you, too.

Avery: I didn't know you and Ashley were friends.

Ashley: Well, Joe and I know each other from New York. That's a gorgeous ring. I heard you got engaged. Congratulations.

Avery: Thank you. Has Joe tried to enlist you yet in his redevelopment project?

Dylan: Uh, we're here to celebrate New Year's. Let's put business on the backburner.

Avery: Yeah.

Cane: Guys, welcome. Come in. Have a drink. Let's go. Come on.

Ashley: Okay.

Dylan: I'll grab us a drink.

Avery: Good. You knew each other in New York?

Joe: Is there a problem with that?

Avery: No, I just hope you're not using Ashley to push my buttons.

Joe: She's a beautiful, successful woman in her own right. Give us some credit.

Avery: Okay.

Joe: However, if I was trying to push your buttons, it looks like I was successful.

Billy: So, how are you liking your very first New Year's Eve, Katie? Take it all in, because if you should happen to be awake at midnight, it will be the very last time you see the ball drop till you're 18.

Victoria: I don't know about that. She might stay up just to see her dad all dressed up.

Billy: You think?

Victoria: Well, you always knew how to wear a suit. Not that there's anything wrong with the all-natural look.

Stitch: [Laughs] That's right. I'll concede a suit and tie to Billy. I prefer jeans and boots while I'm sitting here hanging with Reed, right?

Billy: Uh, look, I'm gonna go upstairs and give Johnny a hug before I head out for the party, okay?

Victoria: Okay.

Billy: Got her?

Victoria: Listen, do you think maybe you have time for one video game?

Billy: Uh, God, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't mention that. I-I can't play... 'cause Reed has gotten way too good!

Reed: I'm gonna slam you!

Billy: Don't count on it, buddy.

Victoria: Thank you, Billy.

Billy: No thanks necessary. I love him.

Victoria: So...

Stitch: So...

Victoria: Are you gonna let me thank you?

Stitch: Thank me? For what?

Victoria: Oh, you know, for being so great with Reed and for playing nice with Billy.

Stitch: Nah. It's easy.

Victoria: Dealing with Billy? You've never said that before.

Stitch: [Scoffs] Everything's easier. Maybe it's because I'm starting this new year happier than I've been in a long time.

[Katie coughs]

Victoria: Oh, no. She spit up again. She feels really warm. Ben, I think something's wrong.

Stitch: Let me see.

Avery: You did push my buttons, Joe.

Joe: Longing for days past?

Avery: I'm annoyed.

Joe: At me.

Avery: At myself. I'm wondering if I ever really knew the man that I married.

Joe: We knew each other better than we've ever known anyone else. Now, if you excuse me, my date's waiting.

Dylan: Here you go.

Avery: Hey.

Dylan: It seemed like it bothered you that he was with Ashley.

Avery: No, I don't care who he dates.

Dylan: Then what is it?

Avery: It's regret that I married him before I found you. And I hope for Ashley's sake she doesn't get too involved, personally or professionally, in Joe Clark. The man thinks the world revolves around him. Come on.

Joe: Thank you. Miss me?

Ashley: I did. Terribly.

Joe: And now that I'm back?

Ashley: Little curious. Why, when we met in New York, didn't you tell me about Avery?

Joe: Well, it's a part of my life I don't like to dwell on. I'm sure you have those moments.

Ashley: Yeah, I have a few.

Joe: Then you can understand why I don't want to focus on the past. Tonight is about the future.

[Glasses clink]

Cane: How lucky am I that you are coming home with me tonight?

Lily: Hmm. I was gonna say the same thing about you.

Cane: Yeah?

Lily: How are things going here?

Cane: Excellent. Excellent. So, where you been?

Lily: Oh, in the office with Kelly. I'm really worried about her. She's been working nonstop to make this party a success.

Cane: That's probably a good thing so it'll keep her mind off of Jack and Phyllis when all the kissing starts. Speaking of which, come here.

Lily: Ooh. Uh, you know what? Maybe I should warn him.

Cane: [Sighs] What are you gonna say?

Lily: I don't know. Something. I have a really bad feeling about this.

Phyllis: It's perfect.

Summer: [Chuckles]

Phyllis: I knew it would be. It looks great on you.

Summer: I love it.

Phyllis: [Sighs]

Summer: What is it? Is there still not something right? Is it the hem?

Phyllis: No. It's just another one of those moments slapping me between the eyes.

Summer: What?

Phyllis: What a beautiful young woman my little girl has become.

Summer: Are you gonna cry?

Phyllis: No! I do not cry.

Summer: You cannot cry, because then I'm gonna start bawling and then my makeup's gonna get ruined.

Phyllis: [Laughs]

Summer: Please don't.

Phyllis: Gosh, you know what this reminds me of?

Summer: It reminds me of the last time we were together before...

Phyllis: Yeah. We were getting ready for the M.S. Event.

Summer: And we were doing our model walks. Do you remember that?

Phyllis: Ooh, phyllissia, the greatest model ever on the planet.

Summer: [Laughs] You know, I remember every moment of that night.

Phyllis: [Sniffles]

Summer: After you got so sick, I would just think about it over and over again.

Phyllis: That couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Summer: I was still getting used to being Jack's daughter, and I was -- I was still trying to get over Kyle.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Summer: You were in the hospital, and I just... [Sighs]

Phyllis: It's over now.

Summer: I can't believe I'm sitting here talking and laughing with you. We lost so much time in between.

Phyllis: I know. And I have complained enough about that for all of us. But in a few short hours, we're gonna say hello to a brand-new year.

Summer: What do you want this year to look like?

Phyllis: Oh, what do I want it to look like? I want to marry Jack. And I want to spend more time playing dress-up with you.

Summer: [Chuckles]

Phyllis: And I want to have fun at work and never waste another minute. What about you, honey? What do you want?

Summer: I want to spend more time with Austin. And I don't want to hear anything about it.

Phyllis: You know what? It's your life. You get to live it the way you want to.

Summer: Really?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Which, of course, is really only my way.

Summer: [Chuckles] Oh, you never change.

Phyllis: Honey, wonderful things lie ahead for both of us. Come here.

Summer: [Sighs]

Adam: I did check on Constance before I left. She was sleeping. Well, look, sage, if something changes, just, you know, pick up the phone. I know what I'm doing, okay? I didn't go to all this trouble to become Gabriel Bingham so that somebody could figure out who I was. Not my brother, not anybody. Goodbye.

Jack: Is this how you keep your promise to start a new and better life? Skulking around here?

Adam: It's not skulking, Jack. I'm blending in, you know, as your business associate. That is how you introduced me to Billy, right? I mean, let's not forget. It's him that we're protecting --

Jack: I don't need a reminder, thanks.

Adam: Well, I'm just keeping you honest. You know what we should do in the new year? Um, we should figure out a way that you and I can work together. Come up with a plan.

Kelly: Good evening, gentlemen.

Lily: You know what? I should go over there.

Cane: Uh, maybe you should let Jack take care of this.

Kelly: Happy New Year, Jack.

Jack: Thank you.

Kelly: Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend here?

Jack: Um, this is --

Adam: Gabriel Bingham.

Kelly: Happy New Year, Gabriel. Nice to meet you.

Jack: This is Kelly Andrews.

Kelly: Thank you. I'm the club's special-event coordinator.

Adam: Really?

Kelly: Mm-hmm.

Adam: This is great, though. I mean, you've outdone yourself. Wonderful party.

Kelly: Thank you.

Adam: Thanks for letting me tag along. Appreciate it. Well, um, I'm gonna go -- go check out the spread.

Kelly: Oh, please do. Enjoy.

Adam: Thank you.

Kelly: Yeah. Ooh, champagne. Thank you. What's the matter, Jack? Does being alone with me make you uncomfortable?

Kelly: If you think I'm gonna throw a drink in Phyllis' face or yours, you can relax. I have to admit I thought it, but then that would be a real waste of good champagne, wouldn't it? Where is your date?

Jack: On her way. Uh, you seem to be handling things pretty well, pretty upbeat.

Kelly: Well, what choice do I have? Can't do anything about the events of the this next year could be full of all kinds of unexpected surprises.

Ashley: Hello, how are you?

Kelly: Oh, hi. Um, just a little busy, but hopefully that'll all pay off when everybody has a wonderful.. excuse me.

Billy: I I'd like you to meet my friend, Joe Clark. This is my brother, Jack Abbott.

Jack: How do you do?

Joe: Pleasure to finally meet you, Jack. Just the type of forward-thinking businessman I've been looking for.

Dylan: Avery?

Avery: Hmm?

Dylan: I thought we were gonna keep the schmoozing to a minimum, unless you changed your mind.

Avery: Yep, I changed my mind. I'm allowed to do that one more time this year.

Dylan: But I thought tonight was gonna be about us.

Avery: It is about us. I know it's about us. But look over there. Joe is now chatting up Jack.

Dylan: We're not gonna change anybody's mind. We got to get them to our turf. Crimson Lights is great home-field advantage.

Avery: You're right. You're right. And this is not how I want to start our 2015. Can we get out of here? Okay.

Ashley: Joe and I were friends when I was in New York.

Joe: And I'd like to think that we've renewed that friendship.

Jack: So, what brings you to town, Joe?

Joe: Commercial real estate. I'm working on a redevelopment project down at the warehouse district. In fact, cane and I are hosting an event here at the club to explain the merits of the project, and I'd like to extend a personal invite for you to be my guest, Jack.

Jack: Well, thanks. It sounds interesting. Would -- would you excuse me, please? Have you guys maybe seen --

Lily: Kelly went that way.

Jack: I saw Kelly briefly. Uh, no, this is a friend of mine who came back to town.

Cane: Does your friend have a name?

Jack: Gabriel.

Lily: Like the angel?

Jack: Not exactly.

Chelsea: Connor's sleeping. I gave him a New Year's kiss.

Anita: Aww. Too bad he wasn't awake to see how pretty you look.

Chelsea: Oh, thank you. It's a Chelsea Lawson original.

Anita: Oh! You're a knockout, baby. But hey, it runs in the family.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for the good genes, mom.

Anita: And why don't you put those good genes to work? I mean, don't keep that rich, handsome man waiting for you.

Chelsea: You really have rich, handsome men on the brain, huh? Did you get that guy's number you met at the coffeehouse?

Anita: Nah, he didn't ask me quick enough.

Chelsea: Oh, well, that's his lo-- what are you doing?

Anita: Just gilding the lily. I'm fussing. You don't need any fixing.

Chelsea: Okay, okay, okay. Mom, uh, what -- what is it? What's wrong?

Anita: I want to tell you what I said to Billy.

Chelsea: Ah. Did you manage to insult him somehow? Was it bad?

Anita: Can you give me a little credit? No, I, uh... I told him how grateful I was for putting a smile back on your face, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Mom, you really said that?

Anita: I-I... I guess I'm coming around, honey.

Chelsea: I guess you really are. Especially considering all the ominous warnings you gave me that Billy was gonna dump me and go back to Victoria.

Anita: Okay, well, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Chelsea: No, it is a done deal. Victoria is not a threat anymore. What Billy and I have, it, um, it's got legs. Happy New Year! I love you.

Anita: I love you.

Chelsea: Bye.

Anita: Bye, sweetie. Aww!

Stitch: There's no reason to worry, Vicki. More than half of all babies have reflux in the first three months.

Victoria: She does have a temperature.

Stitch: It's low grade. It'll pass by morning.

Victoria: Are you sure?

Stitch: 100%.

Victoria: So you think I'm overreacting?

Stitch: These things typically bother the parents more than they do the baby.

Victoria: How can you be sure?

Stitch: Years of medical school. I do have a diploma.

Billy: Look, stitch, no offense, but you're not practicing medicine anymore.

Victoria: Are you worried, too?

Billy: I'm her dad, so yeah.

Stitch: Sure. You know, it never hurts to err on the side of caution.

Billy: That's -- that's what I'm thinking. Look, she -- she feels warm to me. I'm taking her to urgent care.

Victoria: Just take this.

Stitch: Victoria, you should go with Katie, too.

Victoria: Okay, well, uh, all right. I'll call Hannah and --

Stitch: What? No, no, no. I'll stay with the boys. No, no, you -- you and Billy go take care of Katie.

Victoria: Will you let Reed know?

Stitch: Got -- got it covered. Go on.

Billy: I know.

[Door closes]

Summer: I want to be there when you take off your coat and Jack sees you in that for the first time. I mean, talk about fireworks.

Phyllis: You know what? If I make any kind of impression at all, it's because I take after my daughter or the other way around.

Summer: Hmm. Thanks again, Mom.

Phyllis: You're welcome. Come on. Meet your husband.

Summer: Okay.

Phyllis: And tell Austin how much I love the video he made me.

Summer: I will. And you know what? You tell Jack how lucky he is.

Phyllis: I will. Deal. Whoo!

Summer: [Chuckles] Okay.

Phyllis: Come on.

Summer: Happy New Year.

Phyllis: Happy New Year. Bye.

Summer: Bye.

Jack: So now I can honestly and unconditionally offer my pledge of forever to you and ask that you do the same to me.

Phyllis: [Sobs]

Jack: Red, will you marry me?

[Cell phone rings]

Phyllis: Will you please have some patience? I'm on my way.

Avery: Ah! Our home away from home.

Dylan: At least for one more New Year's Eve.

Avery: No, not just for one more New Year's Eve. Not if we have anything to say about it.

Dylan: Is it selfish of me to want to hold on to what I love?

Avery: Not at all. We were reminded at Christmas what this place means to us and what it means to so many people in town.

Dylan: Yeah, I wasn't just talking about this place. You know, the ball doesn't drop in times square any time soon.

Avery: Mm-hmm. So how will we spend the time?

[Music plays]

Dylan: [Sighs] They're playing our song.

Avery: We don't have a song.

Dylan: We do now.

Ashley: Are you looking for Avery? 'Cause I saw that she and Dylan left a little while ago.

Joe: Wow. Before midnight?

Ashley: Yeah, well, I guess that's what love will do. Are you disappointed?

Joe: Not at all. I was looking for your brother.

Ashley: Really? Why you looking for Jack?

Joe: Well, he just left right in the middle of my pitch. Is he playing hard to get or is that a family trait?

Ashley: I'm not playing hard to get. I'm being realistic.

Joe: You know, it's no secret that I'm attracted to you.

Ashley: I don't know. I keep hearing this certain conversation we had in New York. It just keeps going over and over in my head.

Joe: The past rears its ugly head.

Ashley: You admitted that you were still carrying a torch for your ex, who shall remain nameless, and that you said that you wouldn't stop until you got her back. I'm assuming that was Avery.

Lily: So, where is Jill and Colin?

Cane: They went to another party.

Lily: [Gasps] They don't know what they're missing.

Cane: No, they don't. The verdict's in -- tonight is a huge success.

Lily: Don't jinx it, not when Kelly's pulled a vanishing act.

Cane: All right, now, you need to stop playing mother to Kelly.

Lily: I am a mother.

Cane: I know you're a mother. And you know what? I found a sitter to look after the kids tonight.

Lily: You did?

Cane: I did. You know what else I found? A room.

Lily: [Gasps]

Cane: Upstairs.

Lily: Uh, I'm a married woman. Are you propositioning me?

Cane: Absolutely.

Lily: [Laughs]

Cane: Come on.

Chelsea: Hi, guys.

Cane: Hey.

Lily: Oh, hey.

Chelsea: The place looks great.

Lily: Thank you.

Chelsea: Uh, have you seen Billy?

Cane: Uh, no. Haven't seen him.

Chelsea: Okay. I'll check the bar.

Cane: See you.

Looking for someone?

Billy: One healthy baby girl home safe and sound in time to celebrate New Year's.

Victoria: Or sleep through New Year's, you mean.

Billy: [Scoffs] Better here than a cubicle in urgent care. What's that?

Victoria: Oh, it's a note from Ben. He took the boys to get a New Year's Eve hot cocoa. That's sweet.

Billy: Well, good. Don't have to listen to him tell me how he was right that Katie just had reflux.

Victoria: He wouldn't.

Billy: I would have.

Victoria: Oh, I know.

Billy: [Chuckles]

Victoria: I'm just glad it was nothing serious.

Billy: Me, too. But no champagne for you, young lady.

Victoria: Yeah, not for the next 21 years.

Billy: Oh. Did you hear that? You can see who's gonna be the enforcer parent.

Victoria: Oh, really? Well, we'll just wait until she has her first date, and then we'll see who's the enforcer parent.

Billy: I'm not gonna have a problem with her dating.

Victoria: [Chuckles]

Billy: When she's 30.

Victoria: Right. Don't worry. Mommy will keep daddy from scaring away all your boyfriends.

Billy: You're killing me.

Victoria: [Chuckles] This is nice, you know, sitting here laughing. Very different from last year's New Year's Eve.

Billy: Yeah. But here we are, both happy. Maybe not, um, how we imagined, but, uh...

Victoria: But, uh, we have the one thing that we wanted more than anything. I think that's something.

Billy: That's everything.

Kelly: Don't tell me your fiancée's a no-show.

Jack: I just spoke to Phyllis. She's on her way.

Kelly: Ah. Then we have a little time to talk.

Phyllis: What? What? What the hell? What is going on? No. No. I am not out of gas. No, no, not in the middle of nowhere. No. No! Not on New Year's Eve! Let's go! Come on!

Chelsea: Hey.

Adam: Hey. You're, uh, you're Connor's mom, right? I saw you at the park the other day.

Chelsea: How did you remember my son's name? That's impressive.

Adam: Thank you. Well, he made quite an impression. Yeah. So, uh, where is he, anyway? That little guy?

Chelsea: Oh, you know, he left his tux at the dry cleaners, so he's spending the night with grandma.

Adam: All right, well, that's good. So it looks like we're both alone then, huh?

Chelsea: Oh, uh, not really.

Adam: Oh. Okay. You waiting for your husband?

Chelsea: Not my husband. He's, uh, he's... well, we're still trying to figure that out. [Chuckles]

Adam: Okay. Well, what's to figure out?

Chelsea: No, I mean, I'm -- I'm waiting for somebody. It's just that it's complicated.

Adam: Well, it would have to be complicated, wouldn't it?

Chelsea: Why do you say that?

Adam: Well, because you're here and you're waiting for a man that's not your husband, but, uh, yet you're wearing a wedding ring.

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

Nikki: Oh, my God. Paul.

Paul: You lied to me, Nikki.

Adam: To the new year and uh...new friendships.

Chelsea: Hear, hear.

All: Happy New Year!
