Previously on "the young and the restless"...

Devon: It's a baby.

Hilary: Our baby.

Summer: I blew my entire trust fund.

Billy: What?

Nikki: You have done hundreds of television interviews in the past, and none of them have gone off the rails quite like that.

Victor: I assure you, my health is completely under control.

Phyllis: J.T. Took a serious blow to the head. He did not move. He did not breathe.

[ Women grunt ]

Nikki: Maybe his vitals were just weak, and he came to, and he clawed his way out of the grave.

Phyllis: Come on. This is reality. It's not a horror movie.

Nikki: The security-cam footage from the warehouse is here.

Victoria: It can't be J.T. It just can'T.

Nick: All right. You can cross that one off the list. The wedding date is set.

Sharon: All we've "set" is the season.

Nick: Okay. We do have to lock down some specifics -- you know, to get the venue.

Sharon: Mm, we'll get to it.

Nick: Wedding in the fall. With the kids.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Christian will be such an adorable ring bearer. You do think that he'll be living with us again by then, don't you?

Nick: I mean, why not? We had a great meeting with the social worker.

Sharon: Seemed great. But how she'll spin it for the arbitrator...

Nick: We need to plan for what we want to happen.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] It's gonna be so beautiful, isn't it? Christian back home with us. Our wedding. Our family. I could just sit here all day and imagine in.

[ Giggles ]

Nick: That's fine by me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Sharon: Mm. Wait. Hold my place. I'll be right back.

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Gloria said you wanted to talk to me?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Before you answer that...

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Billy: ...I have a surprise for you.

Phyllis: What is this? And why is jabot surprising me with this kind of money?

Billy: The projections are in. Due in part to the huge success of birthday suit sunscreen, jabot is expected to have a much better quarter than originally anticipated.

Phyllis: I am so proud of you!

Billy: That's right.

Phyllis: Yes!

Billy: Yes.

Phyllis: Yes!

Billy: And the reason why you're a little bit wealthier is because all jabot board members will be receiving a portion of the profits.

Phyllis: Oh. Is that standard?

Billy: No, because we don't do standard around here.

[ Phyllis giggles ] And to make sure the rank and file enjoy in the success, everyone will be receiving an extended 4th-of-july weekend, pay included.

Phyllis: Christmas in july!

Billy: Come give santa a kiss.

Phyllis: Ho, ho, ho.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: [ Groans ] Geez. Something urgent going on at fenmore's or what?

Phyllis: Uh, well, yeah. It's a charity thing.

Billy: Urgent charity thing? That's like two text messages in under a minute.

Phyllis: It's just time-sensitive. It's a problem I thought I dealt with, but obviously it's coming up again.

Billy: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where's my kiss?

Phyllis: I'll give you a bigger and better one later, santa.

Devon: Honey? What are you doing?

Hilary: I'm commemorating the moment. See? I'm showing. I have a genuine baby bump.

Summer: Grandma?

Nikki: Summer!

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: Oh, darling!

Summer: Hi!

Nikki: It's so good to see you. You look stunning.

Summer: So do you.

Nikki: Well, I haven't seen much of you since you got back to town.

Summer: I know. I'm sorry. That's totally my fault.

Nikki: Well, I was starting to think you were avoiding me.

Summer: Oh, my god, no! Never. I love you, and I miss you so much. I just -- I actually picked up the phone a couple of times to call you, but...

Nikki: Uh-huh. And what stopped you?

Summer: Grandpa. [ Sighs ] I don't want you to feel like you're in the middle of anything, but I'm pretty mad at him right now.

Nikki: Yeah. Because of christian.

Summer: Mm-hmm. Fighting dad for custody... I mean, I don't know how you can be okay with any of this.

Nikki: Darling, you do understand that --

Summer: That adam is christian's biological father. Yeah, I-I understand that. But... not to be harsh, but, adam is dead, and my dad is the only dad that christian has ever known, so I don't know how you can really go along with grandpa's game plan here.

Nikki: Believe me, I wish that he had never embarked on this.

Summer: But you're on his side?

Nikki: I am just hoping to be a mitigating factor between him and your father, and hopefully come to an amicable solution soon.

Summer: You really think that that's possible?

Nikki: Angel, I don't know. And I'm so sorry to cut this short, but I'm late for a charity meeting, and I've got to go. I love you.

Summer: I love you.

Nikki: All right, baby. Bye-bye.

Summer: Okay. Bye.

Hilary: I deliberately wore something tight so that it would be easy to see.

Devon: Oh, really? I mean...there's a little something there. I don't think it's enough to catch anybody's eye.

Hilary: I think it's noticeable.

Devon: Yeah?

Hilary: I mean, it's not exactly some big bulge, but...

Devon: You sure you're not exaggerating for social media, hon?

Hilary: Do I exaggerate?

Devon: Do I have to answer that?

Hilary: Fair enough.

Devon: I just figured, you're taking selfies, so you're gonna post them online.

Hilary: Yeah, perhaps.

Devon: Mm-hmm. You know what, I think if anything is making your stomach stick out, it's probably that big dinner we had last night.

Hilary: You are so wrong!

Devon: That's what it is.

Hilary: No. Okay? I know my body better than anyone. This is not food.

Devon: Okay.

Hilary: This is our child.

Devon: I believe you.

Hilary: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: I do.

Hilary: Now you're placating me.

Devon: Uh, a little bit. Why do you care about how you look? You know that you're pregnant. Your ob/gyn and your morning sickness have proven that fact.

Hilary: Yeah, well, I want people to see. I want everyone to know that I have a baby growing inside of me.

Devon: Oh, well, you announced it on your show, so I think, like, a million people probably know by now.

Hilary: Well, I am talking about the rare, non-"hilary hour" person. You know, that I may meet on the street...

Devon: Ah.

Hilary: ...Or in a store.

Devon: Those people. Well, you know what you should do? You should start wearing maternity dresses to tip them off.

Hilary: Pfft! Okay, yeah. Probably not.

Devon: No?

Hilary: I'm not wearing any dowdy maternity wear. I am modeling myself after beyoncé.

Devon: Really?

Hilary: You like he sound of that, huh? Me, wearing sexy, stylish clothing throughout the entire pregnancy, complete with the ultimate accessory -- the world's tiniest baby bump.

Devon: Honey, it doesn't matter what you have on or how big the bump is. No one will eve be as gorgeous as you.

Hilary: Well, I know that millions of women, they give birth, every single year. But I am gonna handle this pregnancy the way I handle everything in my life. In my own, unique way.

Devon: Oh. I like that.

[ Both laughing ]

Phyllis: Well? Do you think that's J.T. In the freeze-frame?

Sharon: Definitely. I didn't believe it before, when you said that he'd been spotted on the outskirts of town. That could have been somebody who just looked like him. But that? He's alive.

Victoria: Mom?

Nikki: Well, I'm less certain that it's him, but it sure does look like him.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: Phyllis?

Phyllis: I think there are a million ways to fake a video like this.

Sharon: Name one.

Phyllis: This could be old footage. This could be cgi. Replacing some random guy with J.T.'S face.

Victoria: Well, I might have agreed to you if this is the only weird thing that had happened.

Sharon: But the credit-card charges...

Victoria: I just -- I dismissed them at first. But, I mean [Sighs] Who would go to the trouble of using special effects to fake J.T.'S identity to make it look like he's the one behind the hacking and the vandalism at newman?

Phyllis: Victor has a lot of enemies, and if someone is out to attack him, this is a perfect opportunity to shift the blame away from themselves. It is public knowledge that J.T. Tried to kill him.

Nikki: That's why victor and nicholas are so certain that it's J.T. They don't know that he's dead.

Sharon: Or not. Look, we're all thinking it.

Nikki: Well, if he's not dead, they can't arrest me for murder.

Victoria: And reed's father is alive.

Phyllis: That is the good scenario. But we know who J.T. Is. We know how he went after victoria, how violent he was. And if he is still alive -- which is a big "if" for me -- if he is still focused on victor and newman enterprises, then he is hell-bent on revenge. And, yeah, victor is his focus right now...

Nikki: But it's only a matter of time before he comes after the four of us.

Jack: Gloria's away from her desk.

Billy: Jack, thanks for coming by.

Jack: You text said it was pretty important. What's up?

Billy: I want to give you this.

Jack: And what is this?

Billy: Because of the projections for jabot's exceptional quarter, all board members are receiving bonuses.

Jack: I don't work at jabot, and I don't need your charity.

Billy: It's not charity, jack. All board members are receiving these, whether you work here or not, like ashley, traci, and, of course, you.

Jack: Don't take this the wrong way. I am impressed with your recent success.

Billy: But you have a problem with me doing this.

Jack: Well, it's just my opinion, but I think it's a little premature to be handing out bonuses based on projections. Maybe you ought to hold on to that cash just in case things don't go your way.

Billy: [ Sighs ] I've seen the numbers, jack. We're good.

Jack: And you should be very proud of that. What you and kyle have pulled off with birthday suit is nothing short of impressive, and not something I would have thought of or approved. So maybe that's a good reason not to give me this.

Billy: Keep the check, jack.

Jack: Reinvest it in the company and make even more profits. And maybe not hand out bonuses to board members.

Billy: Just because you don't want it, jack, doesn't --

Jack: I don'T. You want to do something nice for me? Follow my advice. Get a couple good quarters underneath your belt before you start handing out cash. Thanks, no thanks.

Victoria: I was in love with J.T. I-I lived with him. I was married to him. How can I look at the man in that video and not know if it's him?

Phyllis: Because when we look at that image, we cannot get past the reality of what we did, what we saw, what we felt, what we know, and allow ourselves to believe what cannot be true. J.T. Can't be alive.

Nikki: So, what do we do?

Phyllis: We take the emotions out of it.

Sharon: Before I got victoria's text, I was dreaming about my wedding. And now I'm sitting here talking about J.T. Rising up from the dead and coming after us! How am I supposed to take the emotion out of this?

Victoria: Phyllis is right. We have to look at this from a practical standpoint.

Nikki: But how? How do we do that?

Victoria: If J.T. Really -- if he is alive, if he is the man in that security footage...

Phyllis: I told you, I think that the video is a fake.

Victoria: Fine. But this conversation would be a lot more productive if we consider the worst-case scenario.

Phyllis: Okay. All right. Fine. Fine. Let's do that. J.T. Is alive and well. How did he escape a hole that we dug up?

Sharon: We've both been back to that park. We've never seen anything unusual.

Phyllis: Nikki, you own the park. What would have happened if J.T. Managed to dig himself out and -- and make a mess?

Nikki: Um, well,

[Stammers] I guess the groundskeepers would have assumed that it was some type of animal and -- and just smoothed it out.

Sharon: Then it is possible.

Victoria: Well, given that, then, we have to determine whether or not he's -- we have to --

Sharon: What? No. No, no, no, no. We are not doing that.

Phyllis: We have to dig up the grave...

Nikki: Oh, my god.

Phyllis: ...And see if J.T. Is still down there.

Sharon: Oh. Because that would not be conspicuous at all.

Phyllis: Nikki can close the park. Come up with an excuse, like...

Nikki: Um... well, um... a -- a private event. We have done that before. Um... yeah, I-I guess I can do that. When -- when you want to do it?

Sharon: Okay, not at night.

Nikki: Well, not during the day!

Sharon: If somebody sees us, we'll just say we're burying a time capsule or something.

Phyllis: All right. Tomorrow, then --

Victoria: No! No, not tomorrow. Today. I can't go another 24 hours without knowing.

Sharon: Me either.

Victoria: Okay. Then we're in agreement?

Phyllis: We will reconvene in the park after nikki confirms that she's closed the place down.

Nikki: Okay.

Nick: Wow!

Sharon: Oh, hey, honey. What are you doing here?

Nick: Uh, just came in for some coffee. But I see the four of you, together, again, looking very serious. Someone want to tell me what's going on?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Hilary: Are you expecting someone?

Devon: Yes, I am. Hi. You're right on time.

Hi.

Devon: You can set up right over there.

Hello.

Hilary: Hello. Who's this? Who's that?

Devon: That's a med tech.

Hilary: I am not following.

Devon: I know how eager you are to see our baby, so I've scheduled a mobile ultrasound.

Hilary: But I'm gonna -- I'm gonna see my doctor in a few weeks.

Devon: I know. Why wait? You are the sweetest man in the world.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, I'm the most selfish man, actually. 'Cause I can't wait to see our baby, too.

Summer: So, is that the same one from the other day?

Kyle: Tiffany?

Summer: Yeah. You guys must have really hit it off. Second date pretty fast.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Not exactly.

Summer: Third date?

Kyle: Technically... there were some wardrobe changes, sleep, little work thrown in here and there, but the first date is just now coming to an end.

Summer: Oh. Sounds serious.

Kyle: I wouldn't call the past few days with tiffany serious, but they sure have been fun.

Summer: Mm. And now the fling's over.

Kyle: Or it's barely begun.

Summer: Until something more tempting catches your eye.

Nikki: It's just our usual charity meeting.

Phyllis: Some of the families are really in dire situations.

Sharon: I think nick deserves the truth.

Nick: The truth?

Phyllis: I don't think nick is interested in the boring details.

Sharon: We were having our charity meeting, but then everyone got upset because we wound up talking about J.T.

Nick: Why didn't you just say that?

Victoria: I just didn't want you to worry about me.

Nick: Did something happen? Something new with J.T.?

Victoria: Well, there was a-a break-in at one of newman enterprises' warehouses. Some of the machinery was sabotaged.

Nick: And you think it was --

Victoria: Well, there is some security footage of the guy.

Nick: And it was J.T.?

Victoria: There's only a brief shot of his face, but it...

Phyllis: It might be J.T. Or it might not be. We're not sure.

Nick: Well, if it is, it's great news, because that means he's getting cocky or desperate, and if he keeps the same pattern, then the police are gonna catch him.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Oh! Uh, it's summer.

Nick: Everything all right?

Phyllis: Uh... yeah. Couldn't be better. She wants to have lunch with me.

Nick: All right. Well, give her my love.

Phyllis: Yep. I will. And I will see you ladies at our very next charity meeting. Okay? Bye-bye.

Nikki: Okay.

Victoria: Bye-bye. I should get to work.

Nikki: I'll walk out with you.

Victoria: Okay.

Nick: Actually, mom, can you stick around? I want to talk to you privately.

Nikki: Sure, honey.

Sharon: I'll go just find something to do in the back.

Victoria: Okay. I'll see you later, mom.

Nikki: All right.

Victoria: Bye.

Nikki: So, what's on your mind?

Nick: What you're hiding from me.

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

At havertys we know everyone

has different tastes.

Nikki: Okay.

Nick: You okay?

Nikki: I'm fine. So, what is this you think I am hiding from you?

Nick: Dad's health.

Nikki: Ah, you saw his appearance on gc buzz.

Nick: He looked confused. He looked altered.

Nikki: Oh, now, that's a little of an overstatement.

Nick: Mom, he is not well. And if he is not well enough to look out for christian...

Nikki: I understand your concern.

Nick: It's more than just a concern. This is about a small child's well-being -- my small child.

Nikki: Nicholas, it's not just your father who is tending to our grandson. I'm there, too. And I can assure you that christian is safe, happy, and well taken care of.

Nick: Well, dad's the one who forced this issue when he sued for custody, but I need to know if he is fit enough.

Nikki: I wish you could have some compassion for your father.

Nick: Compassion? You mean the kind of compassion that he showed me when he took my son from me? How about when he showed up to our engagement party for the sole reason of ruining the night for sharon and me? Trust me when I say this -- the last thing that victor newman is ever gonna get from me is sympathy.

Nikki: I understand. He has mistreated you. But it's your father's fears of his own mortality that's driving him.

Nick: [ Scoffs ] Then he is seriously --

Nikki: You know, I wish you would stop harping on this. Stop acting like I am keeping critical information from you, because I am not. There are no new developments, no diagnoses that you don't know about.

Nick: You just said that --

Nikki: I am talking about what your father has already gone through. And he won't admit this, but that brush with death had a profound effect on him. It's making him more desperate about hanging on to what he has.

Nick: Well, is that the excuse you're gonna give the social worker when you talk to her about christian?

Nikki: These aren't excuses, nicholas. These are facts. Your father just needs time to find his footing a little bit. That's all. Just give him a little time.

Nick: Well, how much more time? Every day, every week, every month that goes by, my own father is stealing my son's childhood from me. And, mom, you're helping him do it.

Sharon: You're being too hard on your mom. It's not nikki's fault.

Nick: What, you're taking her side?

Sharon: I was just trying to earn future-daughter-in-law points. Is it working?

Nikki: Somewhat, sharon.

Sharon: Then my work is done here.

Nick: Sorry.

Nikki: I'm sorry, too. What your father has done, taking christian from you, it's heartbreaking.

Nick: Look, I'm gonna be fine. But christian is just a little boy. He needs...

[ Sighs ] He needs attention. And activity, and laughter.

Nikki: He gets that, honey. He demands it. You know how he is. Uh, even though he is adam's child by blood, he reminds me so much of you at that age.

Nick: I miss him. He needs to be home. He needs to be annoying his sister one minute, and the next, making her giggle. He needs to be tickled by mariah. He needs to be cuddled by sharon. He needs to be tucked into his own bed, with his own superhero quilt. He needs to be able to touch all the pictures in his favorite books at night. You know, he needs -- he needs to hear those animal noises. I'm the only one who can make them, mom. He needs me.

Nikki: Well, you see him.

Nick: Not enough. Not enough. So you're telling me that dad has not relapsed?

Nikki: You know how private your father is.

Nick: You have no information about his medical health?

Nikki: Nicholas... [ Sighs ]

Nick: You're covering for him. Again.

Nikki: No, I'm not.

Nick: You know what? Don'T. Don't waste your time denying it. But I'm telling you right now, I'm not letting dad or you get away with not giving that boy as much happiness as he deserves.

Jack: Thinking about J.T.?

Victoria: Is it that obvious?

Jack: Your dad appearing on hilary's show and making all those accusations, I guess it stirred up a lot of questions for all of us.

Victoria: Do you have questions about J.T.?

Jack: I don't know if you know this -- J.T. Came by to see me when I was in jail.

Victoria: Why would he do that? He belonged in that cell instead of you. He's the one who attacked my father.

Jack: Yeah, seemed kind of odd to me at the time. It isn't like we were ever close or anything. Odder still, he said he believed I was innocent.

Victoria: Was he just trying to be cruel?

Jack: I don't know. I'd like to think maybe he felt bad that I was locked up.

Victoria: Well, then, he should have confessed.

Jack: Well, I'd like to think the fact that he took off says that he didn't have the courage. I can't blame him.

Victoria: You should.

Jack: Well, I mean, think about his situation -- confessing to a crime that guarantees you're gonna spend the rest of your life in jail? You know what? You were here enjoying your own thoughts, and I came and invaded.

Victoria: Hey, wait. Did -- did J.T. Say anything else to you on that visit?

Jack: Actually, there is one thing that now seems kind of chilling. J.T. Said he wished I had never gone by the ranch that night. Of course, if I hadn't --

Victoria: My father would have died.

Jack: Yeah. The fact that J.T. Didn't want anyone to find victor until it was too late says a lot. Maybe it wasn't just a fight that got out of hand. Maybe we're talking about --

Victoria: Attempted murder.

Jack: Look, there is no love lost between your father and me. I hope victor is taking some extra precautions. That includes you, too.

Summer: Surprise.

Phyllis: Look at you. You went through a lot of trouble. I was expecting a sack lunch.

Summer: No. I wanted it to be special, so I prepared a summer salad with shrimp, fresh fruit, goat cheese, and a delicate ginger dressing.

Phyllis: You made all of this?

Summer: Well, I was about to take it out of the to-go containers from the club and then put it on the plate, so does that count?

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Since I've pulled that trick a few times myself, the answer is yes.

Summer: Oh, good. Champagne?

Phyllis: I'm feeling like i should keep a clear head.

Summer: Oh. Okay. Well, then how about hors d'oeuvres?

Phyllis: Oooh. Very nice. Thank you.

Summer: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: What do you want?

Summer: Uh, well, I just want some quality time together. You know, I know that things have been a little tense between us since I came back to town, and I know that that is partially my fault.

Phyllis: What percentage of partially?

Summer: Well, enough to make the first move with this lunch. Try to repair things, you know.

Phyllis: Well, that's a great start. You ordered all my favorite food.

Summer: Yeah, I hope you enjoy it.

Phyllis: I will. However, you have an agenda.

Summer: Okay, why do you always say that --

Phyllis: Well, the sooner you can spit it out, we can enjoy the meal.

Summer: I'm short on cash.

Phyllis: How short?

Summer: Very. [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Summer --

Summer: I know. I know. It's my fault. Okay? I-I got used to flying first class, and buying clothes without even looking at the price tags.

Phyllis: How much of your trust fund is left?

Summer: Not much. How angry are you?

Phyllis: I'm not angry. I am...disappointed. That money could be put to better use.

Summer: So that's it?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] You're broke. And you have a job that pays pretty well, so you are on your way to fixing that. And actually, I think it is a good thing, because you are going to earn your own way, like most people.

Summer: Ugh. Well, that is turning out to be a lot tougher than I thought.

Phyllis: You're learning some tough life lessons. But you are not running from them. And that's important. And I'm proud of you for telling me the truth.

Summer: Enough to front me a loan?

Phyllis: No. But I will pay you back for the lunch.

Summer: I already charged it to your account.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] That's my girl.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Sorry if this is cold.

Hilary: Oh, it's okay. I can't wait to see our baby.

This is where we'll hear the baby's heartbeat.

Devon: Nice. I guess it probably takes a while, since the baby's so tiny, huh?

Hilary: Less than half an inch.

Devon: Is there a problem?

Just a little trouble locating the heartbeat.

Billy: Hey. Nice timing. Where have you been?

Phyllis: Well, I am happy to report that I just had lunch with my daughter, at her request.

Billy: Wow. What brought that on?

Phyllis: Poverty. She admitted to me that she has burned through her trust fund.

Billy: That's a lot of money.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, and I wasn't too thrilled at the news. But I feel like the two of us had a breakthrough. You know, I mean, because, for once, she was being honest. You know, we talked it out. She messed up. But she is trying to make things right.

Billy: Well, that's good. I'm glad you are on your way to having a better relationship.

Phyllis: Me too.

Billy: Do you think summer is sincere about changing her attitude?

Phyllis: I live in hope.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: I took the liberty of ordering for you.

Jack: Oh, what are we drinking to?

Kyle: To the sizeable bonuses billy passed out to the jabot board.

Jack: Well, I'll take the drink. I'll pass on the toast.

Kyle: Did billy not talk to you yet?

Jack: Oh, he did. I turned down his little handout.

Kyle: Why?

Jack: Why? Because it's premature. Come on. Basing bonuses on quarterly projections before you have the earnings in your hand? It's bad. It's wrong.

Kyle: What do you care? It's found money. Why would you turn that down?

Jack: It's billy's success. I'm not gonna cash in on it.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] You're a noble guy, dad.

Jack: Words that have rarely if ever been used to describe me.

Kyle: We've both lost out on the ultimate power position of jabot because of the blood-abbott clause. Me, I took that check and ran straight to the bank. You? You're turning down cold, hard cash on principle. I'm drinking to you.

Jack: What you're mistaking as nobility is probably just me with other things on my mind.

Kyle: Now that dina's positively I.D.'D phillip chancellor as your dad?

Jack: The judge has turned down my motion to have the body exhumed.

Kyle: Hm. What's your next move?

Jack: I'm gonna sue jill. Get the dna to prove mother's claims.

Kyle: Think you'll win?

Jack: If my star witness comes through for me, yes. I'm putting your grandmother on the witness stand to get all of her claims on the public record.

Kyle: Ah. Sounds risky. Who knows what mind-set dina will be in on any given day.

Jack: Oh, she is very capable of being quite lucid.

Kyle: There's a bigger chance that she'll think you're john or aunt ashley's the maid.

Jack: No, ashley already has put these doubts in my head. I'm not gonna do anything that's gonna harm dina. But I don't have any other options right now.

Kyle: And it would be worth it. If you and I are both bio-chancellors, there could be an opportunity for us to run chancellor industries, right?

Jack: For my entire life, I knew how I was raised, who I was, who'd look after me -- john abbott. A great man. Once that was taken from me, I fell into a black hole.

Kyle: Until this new possibility.

Jack: Probability. For the first time since i learned I was not john abbott's biological son, I have a chance to set things right. To get my life back. And I'm not gonna let it pass me by.

Devon: Now, since we're doing the ultrasound earlier than normal, that would explain the heartbeat thing, right?

Hilary: Devon?

Devon: It's okay. Whatever happens, I'm right here. It's okay.

Hilary: Okay, what's wrong? Why can't we hear the heartbeat?

Listen.

[ Faint heartbeat ]

Hilary: [ Gasps ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Oh!

Hilary: I hear it. I hear it.

Devon: Oh, wow. And I thought music was the sweetest sound.

[ Laughs ] This is so...

Sometimes it takes a couple tries when the fetus is this tiny.

Devon: Wow.

Hilary: That little speck is our baby?

Mm-hmm.

Devon: That little speck is our future. Oh, wow.

Hilary: [ Sighs ]

Devon: That's our child. We created that miracle.

Hilary: [ Exhales softly ]

Devon: Oh.

Devon: Thank you again.

Thank you.

Devon: [ Sighs ] Looking at the printout makes it real, huh? Our baby has a heartbeat.

Hilary: [ Chuckles ] Living, breathing thing that we created.

Devon: Yeah. You know what? I think that -- I think we just stopped being a couple.

Hilary: We did?

Devon: Mm-hmm. 'Cause we're a family now.

Hilary: [ Sighs ]

Devon: I'm gonna frame this.

Hilary: Mm-hmm. Well, I think our baby looks just like you.

Devon: Really?

Hilary: Mm-hmm.

Devon: You think this little speck resembles me?

Hilary: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Yeah, all right. I think you're wrong.

Hilary: Mm-hmm?

Devon: Yeah. I think that our baby is tied with you for the most beautiful person in the world.

Kyle: I'll help you put dina in front of a jury.

Jack: Okay, good. Thanks.

Kyle: On one condition, though. We need to make her feel as comfortable as possible.

Jack: No problem there.

Kyle: We've got to walk her through the process.

Jack: Let her know what's expected of her.

Kyle: She's frightened easily, so, we have to make sure she knows she's not in trouble.

Jack: We just keep reassuring her that she's helping me. She's just providing information.

Kyle: Even after all that, it could still go south. We should do a walk-through beforehand, so she'll know what's expected of her. It could help with ashley, abby, and traci, too.

Jack: If they see that mom isn't afraid or agitated, they'll be more likely to allow her to testify.

Kyle: Could work.

Jack: A dress rehearsal. That's a great idea. Thanks, son.

Nick: Hey, brittany. It's nick newman. Yeah. So, I'm glad I caught you. I think I have something that we can use for our legal strategy. Yeah. I think my father is hiding a serious medical issue. I don't have any details. What I do have is a link I'm gonna send you from a tv show he did. Watch it yourself. You will see the physical signs are obvious. No. What I would like is for you to get his leaked medical data into the public record somehow. Maybe we could, I don't know, subpoena his doctors or hire our own medical experts to testify on our behalf. Well, if I'm right, I think we can prove that my dad is in no condition to have custody of christian.

[ Door opens ]

Summer: Hey. What are you doing here?

Billy: I spent the afternoon handing out bonus checks to jabot board members. Happens to include me, so I thought I'd have a little fun with my piece of the pie.

Summer: Okay. Well, I just thought that you said, after the last game, you were done.

Billy: Bailing you out, yeah. What are you doing here? I can't believe you're gonna play.

Summer: I haven't decided if I'm gonna play yet or not. I'm just here to hang out for now. But don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I won't tell my mom.

Billy: It's not a secret.

Summer: Really? Okay. If you say so. I don't see her here with you, though, and I'm betting that she still thinks that you're at the office.

Billy: It's not like that. It's not a big deal.

Summer: No, I trust you. I just want you to know that I have your back. I'm not gonna go blab to my mom. You can tell her or not. It's your choice.

Sharon: Sorry I'm late, I just -- what the hell is that?
