Billy: You dragged me here for what, an intervention? I don't need your help! I don't want your opinions! The only thing I want from every single one of you is to leave me the hell alone!

Nick: This will be our secret.

Phyllis: Never to be spoken of again.

Sharon: I see it when I close my eyes. I can see it, I can hear it. The shovel in the dirt as victoria began to fill the hole!

Nikki: Where are you going with this, sharon?

Sharon: I need to tell nicholas the truth about J.T.'S death.

Neil: Good to see you.

Devon: Yeah.

Neil: What's new?

Devon: Well, charlie just took shauna out for one last birthday celebration.

Neil: Yeah. Nate told me about the party you threw for her.

Devon: Yeah, it was cool. It was a lot of fun. It was good to see the kids all together to celebrate a happy occasion, you know?

Neil: Yeah.

Devon: The apartment was so quiet, I came to see if you wanted to get a bite to eat, but it looks likes you got someplace to go.

Neil: I'd like that, but I'm actually headed to nick's stag party.

Devon: I didn't know that was tonight. I told jack that I didn't want to go. I don't really feel up to it.

Neil: You know what, it's just a few guys having dinner, you know, hanging out. I'm sure jackie would love to see you, man. It would do you good to get out.

Devon: Yeah, I don't know.

Neil: Hilary would want you to start getting back into life. This is a good way to do it, you know, among friends. There's no pressure. Just a positive, upbeat evening. Come on, man. What do you say?

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Tonight is about you. This is your bachelor party, and my job as your honorary best man is to see that you have a great time.

Nick: All right, well, what's on the agenda? Who's coming?

Jack: It is a small but very select group. We're gonna have some dinner, followed by brandy and cigars.

Nick: Sounds classy.

Jack: What my dad -- what john abbott used to call "a gentleman's evening."

Nick: Well, I'm sure it's gonna be fun.

Jack: Hey, you said you didn't want any surprises, right?

Nikki: Here, sharon. Drink this.

Sharon: What is it?

Nikki: It's herbal tea to calm you down and bring you back to your senses.

Sharon: I don't need anything calming. I've made up my mind.

Nikki: Sharon. You cannot tell nicholas what we did to J.T., You can't!

Sharon: How am I supposed to go into this marriage expecting honesty from nick when I'm not being honest myself?

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Hey. Am I wrong? I thought you wanted a low-key evening.

Nick: Low-key is perfect. I've done the crazy bachelor party thing, remember? You were there.

Jack: Yeah, how could i forget the night I spent in jail?

Nick: We do not want a repeat of that. Besides, abby is on pr overload dealing with what happened at the dark horse launch.

Jack: Yeah, well, she's doing a great job, but I think it might be a mistake to push the "no such thing as bad press" theory.

Nick: Not just for professional reasons, but sharon is not happy with a lot of the choices I've been making lately.

Jack: What, like taking over J.T.'S identity?

Nick: And the way I went after my father's company.

Jack: I thought you two talked through that.

Nick: Yeah, we did, but then when I bought the house, you know, everything kind of came back up again.

Jack: She didn't like the house?

Nick: She doesn't like the idea. You know, it's all part of her narrative that I'm slowly turning into my dad.

Jack: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Sharon, deep down, knows you are the same nick newman she fell in love with all those years ago.

Nick: Yeah, part of me is, but another part grew up. You know, maybe a brick fell on my head, but I realized that if I was ever gonna get out from my father's influence, I needed to be more like him.

Jack: Okay, you never heard this from me, but not all of your father's qualities are bad. You used his cunning, his business acumen to beat him at his own game.

Nick: But if I lost sharon's trust...

Jack: Sharon knows everything you've done is for your family. She knows you would never do anything to break her trust.

Sharon: Do you know how many times you've ripped into me for lying to nick?

Nikki: Why the sudden urge for honesty?

Sharon: Because lying and keeping secrets always ends in disaster.

Nikki: Oh, and you don't think the whole world finding out that we killed and buried J.T. Is not a recipe for disaster?

Sharon: I'm not talking about telling the whole world! Just nick! If we can't trust him...

Nikki: We can. I just don't want to put him in the position of having to lie!

Nikki: Oh, but you don't mind putting me in that position.

Nikki: You took a vow to keep this secret!

Sharon: I will not risk losing him over this.

Nikki: Oh, my god, sharon, this is not all about you! If this secret comes out, families will be destroyed, children will lose their mothers, including yours!

Sharon: Nick will never betray us.

Nikki: If he doesn't, then he becomes part of the conspiracy. You really want to do that to him? Look what it's done to you! You want to put him through that?

Sharon: Of course not. No.

Nikki: Sharon, you got to be strong, honey! Okay? You must do this for your entire family.

[ Door opens ] Oh.

Mariah: Hey!

Nikki: Hi!

Mariah: What's going on? We're all waiting.

Nikki: Oh, I -- I was just helping the bride with her last-minute jitters.

Mariah: Okay, well, that is what tequila is for.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Come on, we can't have a bachelorette party without the bride.

Nikki: Well, we're all set. The bride is feeling much better.

Mariah: Great! Let's go then!

Nick: You know, you still haven't told me who's on the guest list.

Jack: Gee, I haven't, have I?

Nick: Oh, no...

Jack: Don't worry, no strippers. Unless you want them.

Nick: No.

Jack: Wait, do you want them?

Nick: No. I'm just -- you know, you've been spending a lot of time with my dad lately trying to figure out if you guys are brothers are not --

Jack: Rest assured, victor will not be spoiling any of tonight's festivities.

Nick: Okay. That is good news.

Jack: Is it?

Nick: Yeah, you know, my dad and I can barely stand to be in the same room together, and i just don't want to deal with that drama or tension tonight.

Jack: But...

Nick: My dad is one of the few people who understands why i did things the way I did.

Jack: Nicholas, believe me. Your father is very proud of you, even if he doesn't say so.

Arturo: Yo, nick! Here we go.

Nick: Hey!

Arturo: Last night as a free man.-Nick: [ Laughs ] Dude, it's marriage, not prison.

Arturo: I'll be flying solo as long as I can.

Nick: Yeah, talk to me in a few years.

Arturo: I don't want to talk about the future, man. Tonight, my only job is to make sure your final night as a bachelor is one you will never forget. You got the strippers?

Nick: [ Laughs ] No.

Jack: No...

Arturo: Oh, come on, guys. What's a bachelor party without strippers?

Nick: The kind where the groom doesn't get in trouble.

Nick: Yeah.

Neil: Well, well. Is this where the party is?

Jack: Hey! Neil! Welcome!

Neil: Good to see you, jack. How you doing, man?

Arturo: How you doing, brother?

Nick: What's up, dude?

Neil: All right!

Devon: Hey.

Neil: Hey, look who decided to join us.

Jack:Hey! Fantastic. The more, the merrier.

Nick: Man, thanks for coming.

Devon: Absolutely. Absolutely. How you doing? I brought a little gift for the groom here.

Nick: Oh, yeah. Very nice. Cognac.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, let me take a look at this. This not just nice cognac. This is a very rare, very special bottle of brandy.

Arturo: Yeah, man, I bet that one set you back.

Devon: Actually, I got it when I was in france at an auction, and I've just been saving it for a special occasion, and I can't think of anything more special than this, so more for us.

Nick: Thanks, man.

Devon: Yeah. For sure. Let's get it open. Let's toast to the groom.

Jack: Yeah.

Devon: Let's get this celebration started.

[ Laughter ]

Abby: All right, ladies! Here we go! Round 1! What should we drink to?

Summer: Uh, round 2.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: How about we drink to the bride?

Tessa: I vote that.

Nikki: To the bride, may her wedding come off without a hitch.

[ Cheering ]

[ Laughter ]

Mm! These are really good!

Summer: You know what this party needs?

Mariah: Oh, god, here we go.

Summer: Dancing!

Mariah: No!

Summer: Tessa, abby. Abby!

Abby: I'm with you. Let's go, let's go.

Mariah: Hey, you okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I'm fine! I'm fine.

Mariah: I know I'm the anti-maid-of-honor, but I really tried to make this night special for you.

Sharon: No, sweetie, it's great! I just -- I have the wedding jitters, that's all. It's like nikki said.

Mariah: Okay, well, I hate to agree with anything that summer says, but maybe dancing will make you feel better.

Sharon: Oh, I don't know.

Mariah: Oh, come on! It'll be fun! Or it'll be embarrassing, and then maybe after a couple of drinks, it'll be both.

[ Laughter, cheering ]

Summer: Yes! Yes, sharon!

Whoo-hoo!

Yes!

Abby: Hey, I bet the guys are not having this much fun.

Summer: No, no, we are just getting started.

[ Laughter ] Uh, excuse me! Can we get more drinks for the bridal par-tay?

[ Cheering ]

Phyllis: Hello, ladies. What exactly is going on?

Nikki: Well, sharon has found her moral compass and decided to follow it.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Victoria: She wants to tell nick everything, that's what that means.

Phyllis: Is she out of her mind?

Nikki: She says that she can't go into this marriage with a secret like that.

Phyllis: Well, I need to go talk some sense into her.

Nikki: No, no, no, no.

Victoria: Phyllis, no.

Nikki: I have already spoken to sharon.

Phyllis: And you told her what a stupidly insane idea this was?

Nikki: I think I got through to her.

Phyllis: You think?

Nikki: Yes, I'm pretty sure i did.

Phyllis: Well, that's not good enough. I need to remind her what's at stake here.

Nikki: God, is everybody on stupid pills today? Threatening sharon is not gonna do any good. In fact, it could make things a lot worse.

Victoria: Okay, mom is right. Sharon is dealing with a lot of emotions right now. She wants to make things work with nick. She feels guilty about keeping things from him in the past. She doesn't want to hurt him like that again.

Phyllis: Well, someone needs to remind her why we all swore to take this secret to our graves.

Victoria: I'll talk to her.

Nikki: No, I'll do it.

Sharon: Let me guess -- you told them.

Nikki: Yes, I did, and I also told them that we don't need to worry. Am I right?

Summer: Mom? Mom, hi! Uh, what are you doing here?

Phyllis: I just thought I'd stop in for a drink.

Summer: Here. Have -- here, have mine. This one is for aunt vicki. I figured you could loosen up a little bit.

Victoria: Oh, thanks!

Summer: Yeah, are you gonna come join the party?

Victoria: I just need a minute with your mom.

Summer: Okay, you know what is weird? I think I've seen the two of you hanging out more now that I'm back home than I have in my entire life.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Just trying to get to know my daughter's family!

Summer: Okay, well, um, I'm gonna go grab another drink because you can never have too many of those.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, you can.

Summer: Relax, I am not driving, and, aunt vicki, next song, it's you, me, and the dance floor.

Victoria: Bring it!

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: She should have let me talk to her.

Victoria: No, mom can handle this.

Sharon: I know I can't tell nick about J.T., But I hate lying to him.

Nikki: Just keep reminding yourself that you're doing it out of love.

Sharon: It feels like betrayal.

Nikki: J.T. Could have killed victoria that night! I'm not saying what we did was right, but it was justified, and we can't undo it. We just have to make sure that nobody else finds out about what happened.

Mariah: All right, everybody. It is time to toast the bride.

[ Squeals ] Here we go.

Sharon: I have to go.

Phyllis: Did you end up getting through to her?

Nikki: Will you please just not even talk to her? In fact, what are you even doing here?

[ Scoffs ]

Mariah: Gather around, everybody. All right. [ Inhales sharply ] Okay, I can do this. [ Laughs ] All right, first of all, thank you all for being here tonight. It might come as a shock to you, but I am not really the "throwing bachelorette parties" type of gal.

[ Laughter ] So, yay! I pulled it off! Except for the speech, which I'm gonna do right now. When sharon told me she was getting back together with nick, I was less than enthusiastic. I mean, I think my exact words were "what the --"

[ Laughter ] You get the idea. Yeah. And even though I came around eventually, I was still nervous at the idea of nick and sharon getting married again because they had tried it once before, and it was a major fail. But I think that some things are just meant to be. And it doesn't mean that there's not gonna be challenges because sharon and nick taught me that even if there are problems, which there absolutely, definitely will be, that you can get through anything with honesty, that you have to leave everything on the table, nothing left unsaid. Which can be really, really hard to do, specifically if you're not the type of person who's into sharing or if you've been burned so badly before that you've become cynical and think that "happily ever after" isn't gonna happen for you. And sharon is proof that it can happen. And it can be amazing, in spite of all of the incredible odds against you. Mom, I am so happy to be your maid of honor, and I'm so proud of you. So to the once-and-future mrs. Nick newman. Cheers!

[ Cheering ]

Sharon: It was such a beautiful speech.

Good job.

Mariah: All right. I survived that. So, does anybody else want to say something good about sharon?

Jack: Okay, gentlemen, i think it's time for toasts. I will kick us off.

Devon: All right.

Nick: Okay.

Jack: I have known nick newman a long time. He's been my stepson, he's been my friend, and now he's my boss.

[ Laughs ] Nick, I have watched you grow from a young man striving to make his way in the world to a confident, competent, successful businessman whose new company i am proud to be a part of. I could not be any happier for you and sharon. You two have been through a lot, and the fact that you found your way back to each other gives us all hope. So, here's to love, the second -- third? Fourth?

Neil: Oh, no.

Nick: I lost count.

Jack: Here's to you and sharon.

Neil: There it is.

Jack: The last time around.

Neil: Cheers, guys.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Neil: Cheers. Cheers.

Arturo: Mm. Try not to screw it up this time, because something tells me you're out of chances, bro.

Nick: Yeah, I'm gonna do my best. Got to be honest, though, sometimes marriage isn't easy.

Jack: Yeah, tell me about it. But, you know what, anyone who knows you, who knows sharon, who's seen the two of you together knows you belong together. So, here's to a lifelong marriage for the two of you.

Nick: All right.

Neil: Cheers again.

Arturo: Cheers to you.

Devon: Cheers.

Neil: Hey, nick, I heard you're buying a new house, huh?

Nick: Yeah, uh, you know, we wanted something new for me and the kids, you know, to start a new life together, celebrate birthdays and holidays, and sharon and I are gonna sit on that porch in our rocking chairs and just think about all the good times we've had together.

Devon: I envy you.

Nick: Sorry.

Devon: No, don't be sorry. Don't apologize at all. Everything you're describing, it's exactly the kind of life that hilary and I wanted to have, you know, a big house and lots of kids, and fighting and making up. It wasn't meant for us, but I'm happy that you and sharon get to have that life, for sure. Just don't take it for granted.

Nick: I won'T.

Devon: Yeah. All right, you know what, i think I'm gonna take off so burn ruin party, crash it down.

Neil: No, come on.

Nick: No, no, no, no.

Neil: Stay. Come on.

Devon: I do need to get home. I really do. But I'm glad that I came, and i wish you and sharon the best. Honestly.

Nick: Thanks, brother.

Devon: Of course. Uh, hey, if this is supposed to be a real bachelor party, you guys might want to think of stepping it up a little bit. Just think about it.

Nick: [ Chuckles ]

Neil: Hey, what did --

Nick: Yeah, he means you guys better get going here. Let's go.

Jack: Oh, okay.

Neil: All right, ready? 1, 2, 3! Step it up.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: All right, who's next? Abby?

Abby: Oh, wow. Okay.

Summer: Abby!

Abby: Um... [ Laughs ] Well, well, what can I say about sharon?

Sharon: Hmm.

Abby: You are not the same woman that you used to be, which is a good thing.

Sharon: That's true.

[ Laughter ]

Abby: You have worked hard to become a stronger, better version of yourself, one that i can no longer hold a grudge against for giving away my favorite horse.

Sharon: Oh, you would bring that up!

[ Laughter ]

Abby: Well, that was the old sharon, and the new sharon deserves a second chance. So to you and nick and a long, happy life together.

Sharon: Aww, thank you.

[ Cheering ]

Mariah: Victoria!

Victoria: Yes, of course. Sharon, um, you make my brother very, very happy.

[ Laughs ] It's taken me a long time to admit that, but it's true. Nick loves you, and I know that you love him, too, and that you would never hurt him. So, happiness is yours for the taking. Just grab and go for it! Here's to sharon!

[ Cheering ]

Sharon: Thanks, victoria.

Victoria: You're welcome!

Summer: Okay, well, um, i guess it's my turn. Sharon, I should hate you for making me think that nick wasn't my dad, but I don'T. I don'T. I can't hate someone that my dad loves. And aunt vicki is right. It's clear that my dad loves you, and in your own sharon-like way, you love him, too. So, um, put me on team shick.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Team shick!

Team shick! Yeah!

Sharon: I'm good with that.

Cheers!

Summer: To sharon.

Mariah: Hey, uh, phyllis, do you have anything that you want to say to sharon?

Mariah: Really, phyllis? You're speechless? For the first time in your life, you have not one positive thing to say about sharon?

Phyllis: Oh, I don't think i have --

Summer: Uh, no, hey, what about a tip for sharon? I mean, you and dad were happy for a while.

Phyllis: I just think that sharon is not interested in what I have to say.

Sharon: No! If you have something to say, please, feel free!

Phyllis: Of course I want you and nick to be happy. Forever and forever.

Arturo: Oh! Yes, man! You see, this vibe -- this is way better than what's going on downstairs.

Neil: There it is.

Arturo: Just needs a little better music. You know, maybe I can get them to play some.

Nick: I'd pay money to get jack on the dance floor.

Jack: I got rhythm.

Neil: Wait a minute! Now, you should turn that music on because jack and I are gonna bust a move.

Nick: Boom!

Mariah: Hey, hey, hey! What are you guys doing?

Jack: We're, uh, stepping up our game.

Mariah: What?

Jack: Things got a little boring downstairs at the bachelor party.

Arturo: By little, he means a lot...

Jack: Hey.

Arturo: ...So we decided to shake things up a bit.

Mariah: Abby.

Summer: Shaking things up sounds perfect. Come on.

Mariah: No! Guys...

[ Sighs ] Okay, on a scale of 1 to totally messed up, how is this bachelorette party going?

Tessa: Look, if everyone's having fun, that's all that matters, right?Olpot was for the men and the women to do their own thing tonight!

Tessa: Well, it doesn't look like abby minds the change of plans.

Mariah: That's it. That's it. This party is a total bust.

Victoria: [ Clears throat ] Do either of you know where sharon went?

Mariah: No. Not since the guys got here.

Tessa: Yeah. Me, either.

Mariah: But I'm sure she's around somewhere. You know what, let's take advantage of this and go get a drink.

Tessa: All right, follow me.

Mariah: Okay.

Phyllis: Sharon is awol. That's great.

Victoria: Well, at least we know that she's not with nick.

Mariah: Hey, back up! Back up, boys. You may have crashed our party, but tonight, it's ladies first at the bar all night long.

Neil: Of course.

Nick: Got it.

Tessa: Do not mess with a pissed-off maid of honor.

Mariah: Don't do it.

Jack: Wouldn't dream of it.

Mariah: Don't do it.

Jack: I'll tell you, coming up here was a great idea.

Summer: Mariah! Tessa! Come dance!

[ Laughs ] Dad! Dad, come on!

Nick: I guess I'm dancing.

Jack: Yeah!

Nick: Let's go!

Neil: What?

Jack: Uh, say hello to my sister.

Neil: What? Oh, uh, sorry.

Jack: Don't apologize. I'm glad things are going well for you two.

Neil: [ Clears throat ]

Jack: I assume they're going well, or you wouldn't have been texting her all night under the table.

Neil: Yeah, well, you assume correctly, my man.

Jack: Hey, good for you. And good for her. Ashley's going through a lot right now between my mother's deteriorating condition and billy's gambling...

Neil: You know, ashley told me that your family tried to do an intervention for him?

Jack: She tell you how it went?

Neil: I can talk to billy if you think it would help.

Jack: Right now, billy's in that stage where everyone's the enemy.

Neil: Yeah, we've both been there. We made it back.

Jack: Well, hopefully he will, too.

Neil: Just like his big brother.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: I think that's you. Go ahead.

Neil: Yeah, no, I -- I should. It could be work or devon.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah.

Neil: Yeah.

Jack: It could very well. Everything all right?

Neil: Yeah. You know, this is, uh, just about business, that's all.

Jack: Anything I can help with?

Neil: Hey, jack, when do you think this shindig's gonna be over?

Jack: How about right now?

Neil: You sure?

Jack: I'm giving you an out, my friend. Take it.

Neil: Thanks. Uh, do me a favor and tell nick I said bye.

Jack: Will do. Hey, have fun.

Neil: Jazz and a beautiful woman. How could I not? [ Laughs ]

Jack: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: I'm a little surprised to see you here.

Phyllis: I just needed a place to recover after billy's intervention. Fail.

Jack: Have you spoken to him?

Phyllis: No. I haven't seen him since --

Billy: Ooh!

Phyllis: Right now.

Jack: Invention, part ii, coming right up.

Phyllis: Jack. I've got this.

Billy: Sweetheart. You have another knife you want to stab in my back?

Phyllis: I wasn't trying to hurt you. I am just trying to help you.

Billy: Oh, do you still?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Billy: Great. Why don't you grab me a scotch?

Phyllis: All right, let's go home, and we will figure this out together.

"The young and the restless"

will continue.

[ Laughter ]

Phyllis: Let's go home. I will drive, okay? I will drive.

Billy: The only place I'm going is the bar.

Phyllis: Billy.

Billy: Hey, man, can I grab a, uh...

Jack: Coffee. He'd like a coffee.

Billy: No, I would like a scotch, please, and can I have a double?

Jack: Billy, you've had enough.

Billy: Yeah, you're right, jack. I have had enough -- of your help, of your advice...

Jack: You're only making the situation worse for yourself.

Billy: Definitely enough of your opinion about my lifestyle choices. You two made it very clear at the ambush earlier.

Phyllis: Honey, honey, honey. Stop. We love you.

Jack: We want to help you.

Billy: You want to help me? Okay. Ashley set me up. That little intervention was nothing more than a ploy to get me out as C.E.O., And you went along with it, jack. What hurts the most is that I'm not surprised. You never wanted me to succeed, you never wanted me as C.E.O. Anyways, and you --

[ Sighs ] I thought I could trust you.

Phyllis: What are you talking about? You can trust me. You can.

Billy: You're lying.

Jack: Okay, stop. Now. Stop.

Billy: Can I get my drink, please? Thank you very much. Pardon me?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ]

Jack: Come on. Come on, come on.

Billy: Exactly.

Sharon: Would you like to dance?

Nick: I'd love to.

Abby: I think we have broken every bachelor/bachelorette party rule.

Arturo: Every one?

>Abby: [ Giggles ] Did I mention I booked us a room for later?

Arturo: You didn'T.

Abby: [ Giggles ] I can't believe they're doing this again.

Arturo: Yeah, well, according to nick, he and sharon are destined to be together. Looks like it's finally gonna happen.

Abby: Wait, so you believe in happily-ever-after?

Arturo: It can happen.

Summer: I'm so sorry. I can't believe that your family did this to you.

Billy: No. It's not my family. Not all of them. Traci's heart was in the right place, it always is. The rest of them can --

[ Scoffs ] They can go to hell.

Summer: Well, yeah, I mean, you have every right to be pissed off, but, billy, you really shouldn't let them see you like this, okay? Why don't you just let me take you home, okay?

Billy: Are you kidding me? Summer, you came onto me to try and get back at your mother, and you think that I need help?

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Billy, I'm just trying to --

Billy: No, no. Hold on a sec. You're pathetic. That makes you worse than them.

Summer: Okay.

Billy: Can you just -- stop. Get away from me, please.

Phyllis: Hey. Hey.

Billy: Phyllis, I asked you to --

Phyllis: [ Screams ]

Jack: Are you all right?

Phyllis: I'm okay. I'm okay.

Jack: Okay! You're leaving! Now!

Billy: Get off me, jack.

Jack: You want to dig yourself a deeper and deeper hole, knock yourself out. You're not gonna do it here. You're not gonna ruin nicholas and sharon's party.

Billy: I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm fine, jack.

Jack: Stop blaming everybody else.

Billy: Oh, geez. What do you want from me?

Jack: I want you to grow up. I want you to start owning your mistakes, live up to the abbott name.

Billy: Ah! Right! Because you can't?

Jack: I spent an entire lifetime trying to make john abbott proud.

Billy: And I have done nothing but disgrace his legacy?

Jack: Your words, not mine.

Billy: What do you think about this?

Jack: Don't drag phyllis into this.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Uh, all right. I will admit it. I'm gonna be honest. I've been gambling, big time.

[ Sighs ] I lost a lot of money. I dug myself a hole that i couldn't get out of. So I borrowed money to cover those losses. And I lost that. I'm in big trouble. There's no way to get out of it. So that's what you want to hear, right? Once, I crashed and burned, so you -- you've got to be happy about that.

Jack: No, of course not.

Billy: Why not, jack? No, ashley's gonna get me out as C.E.O. Traci will step in. She'll get rid of the "blood abbott" clause, and you'll be C.E.O. Of the company by tomorrow afternoon. This is exactly what you asked for. Right? You're the big winner, and I'm the loser.

Phyllis: Billy, stop. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Billy: Can you just leave me alone, please?

Phyllis: I am trying to help you. I am trying to help you.

Billy: No, I have -- I have seen your help. No, thank you.

Phyllis: Stubborn jerk.

Jack: I'm sorry. He has to want your help. Otherwise, you can't do a damn thing for him.

Phyllis: Yeah, but men are killing me.

Jack: He's a lucky man to have you by his side.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, somebody needs to tell him that.

Jack: I figured it out. He will, too, one day.

Phyllis: You have a bachelor party to get back to.

Jack: Yeah. If you need anything, let me know.

Nick: Hey, uh, how's billy?

Jack: I'm sorry that messed up the party. I really am. Billy's on a very destructive path. I hate what this is doing to him. I hate what this is doing to phyllis. PNick: I thought she was done with him.

Jack: Yeah, so did I. So much so that I thought maybe we had a chance -- stupid.

Nick: Look, uh, you know, you can't tell your heart that. I told myself 100 times I was over sharon. I never really was.

Jack: I didn't fight hard enough. I let phyllis slip away. One of the biggest regrets of my life. You don't need to hear all this. This is your bachelor party! I'm gonna get you a drink.

Summer: Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Summer: Whatcha -- whatcha thinkin' about?

Nick: Uh, just, you know, how one decision can change the course of your life, for better or worse.

Summer: Are you sure about what you're doing? I mean, you marrying sharon?

Nick: Summer, come on. Don't start.

Summer: No, I'm -- I'm just worried about you, okay?

Nick: Well, don'T. If you keep what you know to yourself, then we're all good.

Summer: I told you that your secret is safe with me, okay? I just want you to be happy.

Jack: Hey.

Nick: Oh, thanks, man.

Sharon: We have to talk. I have to tell nick the truth.

Victoria: I thought that you told me that she --

Nikki: Sharon, you agreed that you wouldn't tell nicholas what we did.

Sharon: I changed my mind.

Victoria: Well, change it back.

Sharon: What are you so worried about?

Sharon: Nick hates J.T. As much as we do. He can help us. He's not gonna turn us in!

Nikki: You don't know that.

Sharon: I cannot marry nicholas while I'm keeping a secret like this.

Nikki: Hey, I've been doing that for six months, and my marriage is stronger than ever.

Sharon: Well, don't take this the wrong way, nikki, but the last thing I want is a marriage like yours and victor'S.

Nikki: Oh!

Victoria: Come on. Rey has already been sniffing around nick. We don't want to give him any more reason to.

Sharon: I haven't been working with rey that long, and I can already tell that he is going to solve this case. When nicholas finds out, I want him to hear it from me first.

Phyllis: Hey.

Nick: Hey. You okay? I saw what happened with billy.

Phyllis: Yeah, I'm okay. I saw you a little bit earlier. You were pretty far away. You sure you want to go through with this?

Nick: Ugh, I'm getting so sick of that question. Look, I am 100% sure that I want to marry sharon, and do you know how I know that? Because I slept with you, and I still want to be with her.

Phyllis: Well, all right. I did not mean to --

Nick: No, but you're right. In fact, I know a way how I can prove it to you and to everyone else that I'm sure.

Phyllis: What do you mean?

Nick: I'm telling sharon the truth, that me and you had a one-time thing, and it's done.

Phyllis: No. No, no, no, no. Nick, do not do that.

Nick: I'm doing it. I'm doing it tonight, phyllis.

Phyllis: Nick, you can't do this.

Nick: Sharon and I agreed. We're gonna be completely honest with each other this time.

Phyllis: Well, honesty is overrated. We're talking about sharon here, not the most stable human being.

Nick: She's different now. She can handle it.

Phyllis: Or alternate scenario -- the new sharon can flip out, the old sharon can show up again.

Nick: [ Sighs ] No. No. Look, it's gonna be a whole lot worse if she hears about it from somebody else.

Phyllis: Do you remember what happened when she found out that we were together last time? You lost everything.

Nick: Well, I refuse to believe that she'll throw everything away just because i made this one small mistake with you.

Phyllis: What if she does? What if she leaves you?

Nick: Then I guess we weren't meant to be together.

Phyllis: Please. Don't do this.

Nick: I cannot stand up there at that altar and exchange vows with her knowing that I'm lying to her.

Sharon: I can't start our marriage with a huge lie between us.

Nikki: You tell nicholas, and then what? You think that he can't testify against you in court because he's your husband?

Sharon: I don't care! This is the right thing for me and for nick! When he says his vows to me on our wedding day, he won't be keeping anything from me. He deserves the same honesty.

Nikki: You don't have to make this decision now. Go home and sleep on it, and tomorrow, you might have a different perspective.

Phyllis: Nick, listen to me.

Nick: No, I'm done listening! I'm doing this. Tonight.

Sharon: I don't want to. I want to tell nick right now.

Nikki: What?

Victoria: No, sharon!
