Olivia figures out that Sofia slept with Neil and Sofia tells her that it just happened because they were both mourning Cane. Olivia doesn't want to ruin the relationship that Neil and Malcolm have worked so hard to rebuild so she agrees to keep Sofia's secret Olivia does some quick calculations based on the information Sofia gave her and figures out the date of conception is between February 20-24 and Sofia tells Olivia that she and Neil slept together on February 23 and Olivia tells Sofia to push the date she gives to the doctor up by two weeks so that the baby will be due by mid November and Neil won't suspect that it is very likely he could be the father of her baby. Tucker offers Abby $300 a share to sell him the shares of Newman Enterprises that Brad left to her telling Abby that he wants to give the shares to Ashley as a wedding present. Abby tells Tucker she will think about it and then heads straight to talk to her Uncle Jack and sells him the shares of stock for $299 just to have the chance to rub Tucker's nose in it. Tucker tells Ashley about the deal and she is very excited until Abby tells her and Tucker that she sold her shares to Uncle Jack. Once Tucker leaves Ashley and Abby have an emotional confrontation because Ashley is hurt that Abby made the deal with Jack to deliberately hurt Tucker. Abby tells Ashley that Tucker slept with Dianne and even though he did it when they had broken up temporarily it shows that Tucker will hurt her and Abby calls her mother pathetic for still wanting to marry Tucker. Ashley is hurt by Abby's words and tells Abby that she needs to show her proof Tucker will hurt her and Abby tells Ashley she just has a bad feeling that Tucker will break her heart. Ashley tells Abby she hopes that she will be at the wedding and that her love for her will be stronger then her hatred of Tucker. Tucker goes to Jack to ask him to become partners in making Victor's life miserable and Jack tells Tucker he will think about it. Daniel tells Abby that Billy, Victoria, and Phyllis were unable to reach a compromise about Lucy but they agreed to think about the options and sleep on it he hopes that his mom will reconsider and leave the baby with Victoria and Billy. Devon reads the note that came with Lily's flowers and thinks that she is having a secret relationship with Daniel. Lily denies it saying that she is still grieving Cane and Daniel has a girlfriend. Lily goes to the commentary to meet Cane who tells her that he can't cross over because he doesn't want to leave her and that their love is more powerful then death. Cane gives Lily a kiss and tells her he has to leave but he will get in touch with her again. Abby has a strong drink to forget her day and leaves a voicemail for Daniel telling him she really needs to talk to him. Daniel arrives at the cemetery looking for Lily and she tells him she came because she feels more connected to Cane there and Daniel gives Lily a hug.
Daniel: Well, I'm glad that we're still speaking, because after all the drama between Mom and Lucy, it's, um, really nice to see a friendly face. Abby: And it's mine this time. Hooray. Daniel: I suppose I deserve that. You do understand why I had to keep Lucy's identity a secret from you, right? Abby I know. I know. You didn't want me to have to keep a secret from my sister. I get it. Daniel: Exactly. I mean, everything that's going on right now is exactly why I didn't want the truth to come out in the first place. You know, at least my mom and Billy and Victoria are still talking. Hopefully, they'll figure out some kind of compromise. Abby: Who else knows? Daniel: Too many people, which is the other thing. I mean, everything that I'm telling you, you need to keep it on the down-low, just between you and me. Abby: I-I'm not gonna say a word. You can trust me. You know that. Where'd they leave things? Daniel: They're gonna sleep on it, meet back together tomorrow, and hopefully, before they do, my mom figures out what a big mistake it would be if she doesn't just back off. Abby: Hmm. Well, if you figure that one out, please let me know, because my mom is about to make a bonehead mistake of her own. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: (Squeals) Tucker: Well, that was really nice of the wedding planner to meet us after- hours, huh? Ashley: Yes, and I love her idea about the staging area, having the ceremony at the park, and then the reception here. Do you like that? Tucker: Yeah, I like it. It's all coming together, isn't it? Ashley: Well, it better. It's next week, you know. That's the day. (Front door opens) Tucker: It can't come soon enough for me. Ashley: Mm. Jack: Well, it's nice to see that two of the people in my life are happy. Ashley: Hey. Tucker: Well, you gotta grab it while you can, Jack. Jack: Who was that I just saw leaving? Ashley: That was Jenni Powers. She's our wedding consultant, and we're just tying up a few loose ends. Jack: You're really going through with it, huh? Ashley: You know, Jack, just astounding so thrilled. Tucker: (Chuckles) Jack: Well, at least you're not marrying "The Mustache," right? Ashley: (Scoffs) Tucker: You see? There are worse fates than havin' me for a brother-in-law. Jack: I haven't checked recently, what's the latest on the Newman I.P.O.? Tucker: Well, I don't believe they have a firm date yet, but, uh, I've got myself a nice foot in the door. Jack: How so? Tucker: Adam sold me his options. Jack: Well, that's a surprise. Um, how did he get his hands on Newman stock options? Tucker: I didn't ask questions. I just made the deal. Ashley: And I'm so disappointed that we weren't able to combine Jabot with Beauty of Nature. I really am. Jack: Yeah, it would have been a real blockbuster. (Cell phone alert chimes) Tucker: Oh. Ashley: What is that? Tucker: Ohh, I'm gonna have to go by the office... Ashley: Aw. Tucker: And sign some contracts before our dinner reservation. Ashley: Okay. Tucker: You want to come with me? Ashley: Uh, go ahead, and I'll meet up with you later, all right? Tucker: Okay. Ashley: Bye, Honey. Tucker: Play nice. Ashley: Love you. Jack: Now why do I get the impression that you stuck around to talk to me? Ashley: I have a favor to ask of you. [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: So what does the note say? Come on. Who are they from? Lily: No one you know. Devon: Let me see. Lily: Stop it. Give it back. Devon: No, wait. I just want to look at it. Lily: No, it is private. Don't do that! Stop! Devon: Hang on a second. Lily: (Sighs) Malcolm: Neil, since when are you speechless, Man? You gonna shake my hand, or what? A baby, Bro. Neil: Yeah. Malcolm: Can you believe it? Neil: No, I... (Chuckles) I really can't believe it. Malcolm: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] Sofia: (Laughs) Oh, Olivia, there is nothing going on between Neil and me. Olivia: Given what I saw when I walked in? Sofia: Oh, what you saw were two business colleagues having an argument. Olivia: Sofia, you two were holding hands. It seemed like an intimate conversation. Sofia: Well, you're mistaken. Olivia: Am I? Sofia: Yeah, I needed to talk to Neil about a business meeting I'm having with Tucker, and we couldn't agree on something, and then he started apologizing to me. I think he thinks he needs to treat me like I'm some kind of delicate flower now that I'm having a baby. I mean, that-- that's all you saw, Olivia. Olivia: You know, 'cause that's interesting, 'cause when Neil and I spoke, he didn't seem that happy or excited. Now I thought it was because of the problems he was having with Malcolm, but it's not about Malcolm, is it? Sofia: No, I mean-- I mean, yes, we were kind of talking about Malcolm. I was just asking him to... be happy for us we and forget everything else. Olivia: Okay, so you weren't talking about business. You were talking about Malcolm. Why are you lying to me? Sofia: Because it's private between Neil and me. Olivia: Okay, what were you begging Neil to forget? Oh, god. Don't tell me the baby could be Neil's. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: You have a favor to ask me? This sounds dangerous. Ashley: Oh, shut up and sit down. Okay, so we've been through a lot together, and I can't imagine getting married without having you be a part of the wedding. Jack: You're-- you're asking me to stand up for you? Ashley: Yeah, yeah, I'm asking you to give me away. Jack: To Tucker? Ashley: Well, he is the groom, so yeah. Jack: Well, he's also very low on the list of men I would have chosen for my sister to marry. Ashley: Are you turning me down? Jack: (Sighs) Look, I know this is a big deal, you're asking me this, and-- Ashley: I can't understand the-- Jack. Jack: (Stammers) Please don't look at me that way. I... Ashley: What about that big speech you made about how, "Oh, Tucker, you make my--my sister so happy. Let's do everything we can to get along"? Jack: Yeah, I-I know. I-- Ashley: Was that just empty lip service? Jack: (Stammers) I said those words, and I just didn't expect for you to bestow this particular honor on me. Ashley: Oh, really? Well, you'd be telling the world that you love me and that you respect my choices. I mean, is that really too much to ask? Jack: No, of course not. No, no. (Stammers) I'd be proud to be there for you and I'm sorry I upset you. I-I... I'm sorry, okay? Come here. Ashley: G-gosh. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Um, we didn't order these. Tucker: I did. Abby: (Sighs) Daniel: Thanks. Tucker: Yeah, I'm meetin' your mom here for dinner, and, uh, I'm a little bit early. You mind if I join you? Abby: Do we have a choice? Tucker: You remember, Abby, when, uh, asked for your input on a wedding present for your mom? Abby: This actually isn't a good time. Tucker: Well, the wedding's gonna be here before you know it, and so is your mom. I, uh, I don't really want to have her see us puttin' our heads together. Abby: I'm sorry. Daniel and I are right in the middle of something. Daniel: I-I think that I gotta go. Abby: No, no, this isn't gonna take long. Stay. Tucker: Well, actually, I would, uh, prefer to discuss this privately. Daniel; You know, its okay. Um, I-I got a lot of stuff I gotta take care of anyway, so I'll--I'll see you later. It's okay. Thanks for the beer. Abby: Do you always strong-arm people to make them cooperate? Oh, wait... (Sniffs) What am I saying? Of course you do. Tucker: Abby, your mom was just tellin' me how she-- she was kind of bummed out that the, uh, cosmetics merger didn't happen. It would have been a great company for her to run. So it got me to thinkin', you still have the options on the Newman shares... Abby: (Scoffs) Tucker: That you inherited from Brad. And with the I.P.O. coming up-- Abby: Are you really going to badger me about this again? What part of "No chance in hell" do you not understand? Tucker: You wouldn't be selling them time. They'd be a gift for your mom. Abby: (Scoffs) I'm sorry, do you-- just how naive do you think that I am? Tucker: No, Abby, Abby, this is strictly on the level. Abby: (Scoffs) Tucker: You would be transferring the options to your mother, not to me. Abby: Mm. Tucker: I will give you 300 bucks in cash for every option you sell me. Abby: Why would you do that? Tucker: Why? Because it would be good for you and for your mom. Your shares would stay in the family, and who knows? Maybe someday, they would help your mom realize her dream of combining Beauty Nature with Jabot. You don't have to answer right now. Abby: (Sighs) Tucker: Just think about it. [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: "Meet me at the usual place"? What's this about? Lily: Nothing. It's just a friend. It's not a big deal. Devon: Hey, come on. You got roses and a mysterious note here. It's not a friend. Are they from Daniel? Lily: Why would you say that? Devon: I don't know. You guys have been hangin' out a lot. You used to be married. Maybe there's a little something still there. Lily: I just lost my husband, Devon, and Daniel has a girlfriend. Devon: Well, that's a good reason to keep it quiet. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Yeah, a baby. Yeah, uh, you know that I wish you and Sofia only the best, right? Malcolm: I mean, look, Neil, you and I have had our differences in the past, and I'm sure we'll continue to. I mean... Neil: Oh. Malcolm: I think it wouldn't be right if we didn't butt heads at least once in a while, right? (Laughs) Neil: Oh, yeah, right, yeah. You're right about that. Malcolm: No, but, uh, as far as I'm concerned, bro... Neil: Mm-hmm. Malcolm: This baby is truly a sign that things are definitely turning around for the Winters family. Neil: Let's hope so. Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Sofia: There's no logical explanation for why Neil and I fell into bed that night. It just happened. Olivia: Yeah, well, mistakes happen, and Neil and Malcolm... (Scoffs) They couldn't be more different, even for brothers. Sofia: I don't want it to be the same thing all over again like it was with Lily. Olivia: Yeah, well, it doesn't have to be. Sofia: Is that a-- Olivia: A calendar. I'm taking the cycle dates that you gave me, trying to figure out the baby's due date, and that way, I'll have a-- an idea of the window of concept here. Sofia: Neil, I-- it was a one-time thing. I mean, Malcolm and I were a little estranged at the time after Cane's death, which is probably why it happened, but we've had a very active life. We were together that-- that whole time. So th-this baby has to be Malcolm's. Olivia: Okay, okay. It looks like your due date's gonna be the first week of November. That means conception would have been around... around February 22nd to the 24th. Sofia: Oh, God. That is the worst possible date. Neil and I made love February 23rd. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Can we please drop this? Devon: After you tell me I'm right. Malcolm: Hey, hey, you two. Neil: What's goin' on? Devon: Hey, hey. Malcolm: So look, I'm gonna let your dad spring for coffee to celebrate the baby, okay? So put your orders in now, 'cause he's buyin', all right? Devon: (Chuckles) Oh, it's all right. I'm good. I'm good. Lily: Yeah, I'm fine. Neil: So at--these flowers, where'd they come from? Devon: Uh, I bought 'em. There was a lady in here selling ''em, so I just, uh, I picked 'em out for Lily. Malcolm: Oh, Man, I hate I missed her. I would have picked up some for Sofia. Lily: I know. I'm so lucky to have such an awesome brother. Neil: Yeah. I'd say so. Lily: Um, well, actually have to get going, so... Malcolm: Already? Lily: Yeah, I have some errands to run before I pick up some diapers for the twins. Devon: All right. Lily: I'll see you guys later. Neil: Bye, Baby, drive safe. Devon: Bye. Malcolm: I guess it won't be long before I'm runnin' out for diapers, too. (Chuckles) Devon: (Chuckles) Neil: (Laughs) Yeah. [SCENE_BREAK] Sofia: This baby could still be Malcolm's. I mean, figuring out the time of conception is not, like, some accurate, complete science to the hour, is it? The Olivia: No, but we wanted to eliminate Neil as the father, and instead, we might have confirmed the possibility. Sofia: Oh, my God, Olivia. Why does it have to be those days? I don't know what I'm gonna do. Olivia: Okay, well, first of all, you need to calm down. Sofia: Calm down? Olivia: I know it's easy for me to say. But you have to think things through. You have decisions to make, and you need a clear head. Sofia: What is there to have to think about? It's not like I can wave some magic wand and make it like I didn't have sex with Neil. Olivia: True. Sofia: Look, so far, Neil and I have been able to keep this a secret. But if you became suspicious, other people will, too. And if Malcolm finds out, this whole thing is gonna blow up. And he's gonna dump me, and I can't blame him. And, dear God, this is Neil's baby, I don't even want to think about what it's gonna do to the entire family. Olivia: It'll be devastating. Sofia: And just when Lily needs him the most. She'll see her whole support system fall apart. Neil and Malcolm have worked so hard to try to heal their relationship, and finding out that this baby isn't my husband's could totally destroy all of that. [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: I know how much it means to you to have Jack's blessing. Ashley: It does. It means a lot. It's gonna make a special day even more special to have him walk me down the aisle. Tucker: Well, that's what I want for you-- for our wedding day to be perfect. Ashley: Me, too. Tucker: (Groans) Ashley: What? Tucker: I really shouldn't be telling you this. Ashley: What, what? Tucker: But I just can't-- I can't help myself. I have a surprise. Ashley: You do? You have a surprise for me? Tucker: I approached Abby about selling me her Newman stock options ahead of the company goin' public. I want to give them to you as a wedding gift. Ashley: That's quite a gift. Tucker: You deserve it. Ashley: I'm just so blown away by that. I mean, I... I don't know what to say. I-it's a great idea as a business deal. I know, uh, I want to make sure that Abby's not going to be taken advantage of. I can't help it. that. I offered her the price of the year. I don't know anyone who could turn that down. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Hey, Kiddo. Your mom's already left. Abby: Hey. Mm. You know, I did not come to see Mom. I actually came to see you. Tucker offered me megabucks--again-- for my Newman stock options. Jack: Well, I guess there's no surprise there. He adds those to the ones he got from Adam, and he's amassed quite-- Abby: No, no, no, no, no. What are you saying about Adam? Jack: I guess Adam had options of his own. Tucker bought him out. Abby: Mm, well, it's the first I've heard of it, not that I'm surprised, 'cause the two of them are so skeazy, and you know what really slays me? Tucker claims that he wouldn't be buying them for himself. He would be giving them to Mom as a wedding present. Jack: So what are you gonna do? Abby: Tucker offered me $300 per stock option, and I am going to sell to you for $299. So are you interested? (Chuckles) Jack: Oh, you bet I am interested. The question is, do you really want to do this? You know, you hold on to those options till after the I.P.O.-- Abby: No, no, no, no. I don't want to deal with stocks. It's not my thing. And this story that Tucker is trying to sell me about transferring it all to Mom is a huge load of bull. Once they get married, it will technically still be his. I mean, that's right, right? Community property? Jack: In all likelihood, yeah. Abby: Well, Tucker was right about one thing-- I do want to keep my shares in the family. That just doesn't include him. Jack: I will call my attorney right now and have him fax over the transfer documents. [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: Thanks. Ashley: So go ahead, ask me about my day. Tucker: How was your day, Beauty? Ashley: It was great. I had a major breakthrough in the lab. Tucker: Yeah? Ashley: Seriously. Tucker: Tell me about it. Ashley: Okay, cactus serum. Yeah, I've been running all these experiments... Tucker: Mm-hmm. Ashley: Developing a-- a moisturizer with cactus serum in it. Tucker: Wow. All that, and brains, too. Ashley: (Laughs) Tucker: Did I ever tell you that I want you in that lab coat and nothin' else? Ashley: (Laughs) Ooh. Well, anyway, um, I seriously think that maybe this could be a whole new product line and very profitable for Jabot. Tucker: Well, maybe we wouldn't have to stop there. I haven't given up on our dream. If we can combine Abby's shares with the ones I got from Adam, maybe it's a big enough piece of the float. We can still pressure Newman into splitting off Beauty of Nature. Ashley: Now wouldn't that be a coup? Tucker: To conquering the world... together, one cactus at a time. Ashley: (Chuckles) (Glasses clink) Ashley: I like that. [SCENE_BREAK] Malcolm: Hey, Man, I better jet, too. I, uh, I don't want to be late for Sofia's appointment. Neil: Hey, hey, Malcolm. Um, a piece of advice, all right? You need to take a lot of notes, seriously. Malcolm: Really? Neil: Well, yeah, absolutely, because, uh, you're gonna get a lot of information these first few visits that you need to write it down to remember it all, and let me ask you a favor. Please, I want to hear everything that the doctor says, you know? [SCENE_BREAK] Sofia: Olivia, I cannot destroy this family. I have to make up something. (Stammers) I'll tell Malcolm that I had a miscarriage. I-I-I'll leave town, go start a new life. Neither one of them will ever have to know. Olivia: Okay, don't be so dramatic. Besides, Malcolm loves you, and there's no way he'd let you go without a fight. Sofia: Well, I have to come up with something fast. I'm supposed to meet him at the doctor in a few minutes, and she's gonna do the same calculations you did. And once Malcolm finds out, he's gonna tell Neil, and this whole thing is just gonna blow up. Olivia: Okay, so we've gotta convince Neil that this baby couldn't be his. Sofia: Well, how can we do that? Olivia: When the doctor asks you about your cycle, I want you to push the dates two weeks. Okay? That way, Malcolm will hear it, and the doctor's gonna put in your official medical report. Sofia: Well, um, what--what about when the baby's born? Olivia: So it'll be a couple of weeks. Babies are born early all the time. Sofia: Oh, Girl, you are savin' my life. How--how am I ever gonna thank you? Olivia: I am not doing this for you. I'm doing this for my family. This is a huge ethical breech for me. I'm putting my career on the line. And I expect something in return. Sofia: Absolutely. A-anything, what--whatever you need. Olivia: Be Malcolm's wife, and make him happy, and have this baby, and pray to God this baby is his. Sofia: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: Hey, Daniel, what are you doin' here, Man? Daniel: Gettin' some coffee. Devon: Well, Lily just took off. Daniel: Oh, yeah? Devon: Yeah. Daniel: That's too bad, Man. It would have been nice to see her. Devon: Uh, what do you got goin' on with my sister? You guys supposed to be meetin' somewhere, or... Daniel: Dude, what are you talkin' about? (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: I see you got my message. [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: Look, I know that you've been helpin' Lily out a lot lately, and I'm grateful for that. Daniel: Well, yeah, Man. It's a two-way street. You know, I've been bendin' her ear a lot, too. Devon: Right. I also know, though, that you guys have a ton of history together, and you care about her. Daniel: Yeah, so? Devon: So she just buried her husband, like, a few months ago. You know, she's vulnerable. Daniel: Obviously she's vulnerable. Wh-what does that have to do with me, Man? Devon: It has to do with you, 'cause I don't think it's very cool of you movin' in so soon. Daniel: Whoa, whoa. Who's--I'm--I'm not movin' in on anyone. C-co-- Devon : Daniel, I saw the flowers. Daniel: (Scoffs) What flowers? Devon: The ones with the note tellin' my sister to meet you in your usual place. Daniel: Look, I don't know anything about any flowers, all right? And we won't have a spot. I have no idea what you're talkin' about right now. Devon: Okay, if you didn't send them, then who did? Daniel: I have no idea. I have no idea who sent her flowers, who wants her to meet, whatever. Y-you know what? Maybe it's none of our business. Did you think about that? Like, you're grillin' the wrong guy here. Good luck. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: You got flowers. (Sighs) How? Cane: You bring 'em to me, so it's... it's only fair. Lily: I miss you so much. Cane: I'm never far away, Sweetheart. Lily: I mean, I still don't even understand why this is happening. Cane: None of that matters. All that matters is its happening. We can be together again. Lily: You know, this lady that I met here... she was a psychic, and she said that she felt your spirit strongly around me and that you're trying to protect me. Cane: I'll always protect you. Lily: But from what? I mean, a-am I in danger? Are--are the twins in danger? Cane: I don't know. But I'm gonna make sure you're safe. Lily: You know, before you died, you were trying to tell me something. But you couldn't. So what was it? What were you trying to tell me? Cane: I, um, I-I can't remember, but, um, it's the reason I'm here. Maybe together, we can figure that out. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: What do you know, Pop? I am now the proud owner of a sizeable chunk of Newman Enterprises. Did you ever think the day would come? [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: Well, judging by that smile on your face, it looks like you're really enjoying your dessert. Ashley: (Chuckles) I do love the lava cake here. I'm really thinking about your surprise, Tucker: What surprise would that be, Darlin'? Ashley: You know, most women get jewelry from the new husband, or maybe a piece of artwork, or a little keepsake for the house. I got stock... Tucker: Yeah. Ashley: The size maybe of a major corporation. I just... it boggles my mind. Tucker: Well, when you're marrying the most spectacular woman in the world, nothing less than mind-boggling will do. Abby: (Clears throat) Ashley: Hi. How are you? I'm so glad you found me. Abby: Hi. (Laughs) Tucker: Abby. Ashley: You want to join us? You hungry? Want a bite of my cake? Abby: Uh, I-I... (Chuckles) Actually, I just, uh, I need to talk to Tucker. It's, uh, it's about something we discussed earlier. Tucker: Oh, well, you don't--you don't have to tiptoe around it. I, uh, I couldn't help myself. I let your mother know what I want to give her as a wedding gift, that is if you're willing to help. Abby: Well, I-I... I did think about it... Tucker: Mm-hmm. Abby: And I do want to sell my stock. Ashley: (Laughs) Abby: And I definitely definitely want to keep it in the family, like you said. Tucker: Uh uh. Abby: So I... (Sighs) I just sold it... to Jack. Tucker: (Sighs) Ahh, $299 a share, $1 less than I offered you. Abby: Well, you know, it's, uh, it's a family discount. Tucker: (Sighs) Abby: Did Tucker go night-night? Ashley: It's not funny, Abby. Abby: Well, it depends on who you talk to, 'cause if Uncle Jack was here, he would think it was hilarious. Ashy: He never should have injected himself into this without talking to me first. Abby: No. Whoa, whoa, whoa. He did not inject himself. I went to him and offered to sell him my options. Tucker, by the way, he wouldn't let it go. Mom, do you know how many times he approached me, trying get me to sell to him? I mean, you know he's just doing this so that he can mess with Dad and steal his company. Ashley: Are you finished? Abby: (Scoffs) With Tucker? Yeah, you bet I am finished. Ashley: You don't think that I understand exactly what you were saying to him between the lines? Abby: Okay, those were my stock options. I had the right to sell them to whoever I wanted to. Ashley: You know what? You are missing the point, Honey. It's not what you did. It's how you did it. Couldn't you have just waited a few days to think about Tucker's offer? Just day or two? Abby: Mom, I told you, Tucker-- Ashley: No, you know what you had to do? You had to run back over here and rub his nose in it. You obviously enjoy a pissing him off, and I can tell you don't give a damn about his feelings, but I would like to think that you care about mine this is the man that I'm going to marry. For you to be so disrespectful of him is to be disrespectful of me. Can't you see that? Abby: You know what? I don't respect him, okay? I don't respect him. I can't stand his guts. Ashley: How can you say that to me? Abby: Marrying him is going to be the single biggest mistake you are ever going to make in your life, and considering the way you've lived it so far, that's saying something pretty big. Ashley: Oh, my God, Abby. Keep your voice--jeez! Abby: Tell me, Mom. Tell me. How many men have to trample all over you before you will get it? Your supposed fiancé, the billionaire stud... Ashley: Keep your voice down. Abby: He cheated on you, Mom! He cheated on you... Ashley: Shut up, Abby! Shut up! Stop it! Abby: With Diane Jenkins! That's what he did. Ashley: Really? Really? You're gonna go back to that? Keep your voice down right now. Abby: Maybe, maybe, maybe you weren't exactly engaged when it happened, but I sincerely doubt that you would be okay with him sleeping with that trash. Or wait, or maybe you would be okay, or maybe that's what this is. Maybe that's why you're defending him. Maybe you are just so desperate... Ashley: You know what? Abby: You have to hold on to that creep. Ashley: You shut your mouth, and you give me an apology right now. Abby: I have tried, to warn you over and over and over. You want to marry him? You want to marry him? Knock yourself out. I will not be there. I will not be there to witness this disaster of a wedding. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Back so soon? Tucker: You must be very happy. Jack: Can I take that to mean you're not to happy? [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Are you saying that you're here because you can't cross over? Or... because you don't want to? Cane: It's both. Lily: (Sighs) (Sighs) Cane: (Sighs) Lily: (Sighs) I cannot believe I can feel you in my arms again. Cane: You know, if you can feel me... Lily: (Sighs) Cane: If you can touch me, it's 'cause our love transcends this world. You know that, don't you? Lily: (Sobs) Oh, Cane. (Sighs) Cane: You know, there is nothing... there's nothing I wouldn't do to be with you. There's nothing--not in this world, not in the next. Lily: (Sighs) (Car approaches) Cane: (Sighs) I have to go. Lily: No, please don't go. I don't want you to leave. Please. Cane: I promise you... I promise you, Baby, I'll be here soon, okay? Lily: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Hey, Liv. Olivia: Hey. How did your meeting go? Neil: Hmm? The meeting was fine. Don't wor-- don't worry about that. Why don't you have a seat? Olivia: Okay. Neil: I'm just waiting for, uh, Sofia and Malcolm to get back from the doctor's there you go. And speak of the devil, here they are. Hey, Guys, come on over. Malcolm: Hey. Sofia: Hey. Neil: Have a seat. Sofia: Thanks, Baby. Neil: Okay, don't keep us waiting. How'd the appointment go? What'd the doctor have to say? Sofia: Uh, well, everything went fine. Olivia: That's excellent. (Chuckles) Malcolm: Doc says everything is good. The baby will be here mid-November. Sofia: (Chuckles) Which means I got pregnant in early March. Neil: (Sighs) Yeah. Malcolm: You know, after I finally came to my senses, I realized that you are truly the best thing that's ever happened to me. Sofia: Oh. (Laughs) Neil: (Chuckles) Olivia: I'm-- I'm so happy for both of you. Sofia: Thanks, Liv. Malcolm: Wow, looks like the family has a lot to be thankful for come this turkey day. Sofia: (Laughs) Yes, we do. Neil: Yeah, the family certainly does. [SCENE_BREAK] Tucker: You do realize if we combined our holdings in Newman Enterprises, we might be able make something happen, something mutually beneficial. Jack: As you've reminded me on several occasions, you don't need me. Tucker: Well, the only constant has changed, Jack. Now even if we're not able to pry Beauty of Nature loose, we could sure make Victor bloody miserable. I know you'd like that. So what do you say? Partners? Jack: Let me get back to you on that. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: Abby? Tucker has gone out of his way to be kind to you and to try to make us a family. And you have done nothing. You have not tried. You haven't given him a chance. Abby: I did give him a chance, and he blew it. Ashley: I love you, Abby, and I want you to be happy. It's obvious to me that you don't-- you don't want me to be happy. Abby: What? That is not true. It--Tucker-- Tucker is not-- is not gonna make you happy. Haven't you been through enough? This guy is gonna hurt you. Mom, you can't trust him. Ashley: Based on what? Do you understand? If you're gonna make accusations, then you have to give me some kind of proof, Abby. Abby: I don't have any, but I have a really bad feeling. Ashley: Oh, you have a "Bad feeling"? So you want me to walk away from the man I love because you have a bad feeling? Abby: Mom-- Ashley: Abby, I want you at my wedding. I want you standing beside me. I just hope that you love me more than you say you hate Tucker. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Hey, it's Daniel. I can't take your call right now, but if you leave a message... Abby: (Clears throat) Hey, it's me. I really need you right now. Can you call me back soon? (Clears throat) Excuse me? Can I get a Moscow mule? Heavy on the Moscow, please. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Lily. Lily: Hey, wh-what are you doing here? Daniel: Looking for you. What are you doing here? Are you meeting someone? Lily: No. No, I just, uh, I-I like to come here, you know? I-I feel close to Cane. Daniel: Okay, do you really think that being out here in the middle of the night in the dark in a cemetery alone is the best place to be? Lily: (Scoffs) Listen, I'm fine, you know? I just...Sometimes I just miss Cane a lot, and I want to come here and feel close to him. Daniel: Okay. Hey, I get it, you know? Just next time, call me first or something, all right? Okay. [NEXT_ON] Nikki: You have everything that's important. Shouldn't that be enough? Abby: If you want Daniel, you're just gonna have to tell me that right now. Jack: You're looking at your newest stockholder.
