Jack looks at pics of Billy and Delia as he talks to Neil. Neil cannot believe that Devon had offered $1 million for anyone with information concerning the hit and run. Jack tells Neil that Devon's offer was "amazing." Nick goes to see Billy at On the Boulevard. Nick asks Billy to borrow some "swizzle" sticks just to lighten the mood, so he can talk to him about Delia. Billy thanks him for coming but tells him to leave. Adam, alone on a park bench, reads the article about Devon offering the $1 million for information toward the hit and run accident. Adam imagines that he hears a little girl's laughter. Lauren tries to talk to Fen about his confessing to killing Carmine, but Fen insists he did it. At the park, Sharon lets Faith play on the swings while she talks to Adam. Sharon questions Adam what is going on with him. Adam begins to open up about Connor and his surgery and that the corneas were donated by Billy and Chloe. Paul talks to Michael about who he is protecting. They argue over the fact that Fen is on drugs. Christine asks Fen to give her his statement as to what happened the night that he shot and killed Carmine. At the coffeehouse, Abby and Lily discuss Delia and Devon's very generous offer. Devon joins them. Abby asks Devon why he did this. Abby says that Katherine would be extremely proud of him. Sharon and Adam have a heart to heart talk. Traci arrives at Jack's and interrupts Jack and Neil's talk. Traci questions Jack about how Billy and Chloe could have the strength to donate Delia's corneas to Connor. They discuss if Phyllis is getting any better. Fen gives his account of the night that Carmine was killed but it is vague and isn't filled with much information. Lauren lets Christine know that Fen was "high" on drugs the night that Carmine was killed. Paul asks for Michael's help in finding out what really happened the night that Carmine was murdered. Michael insists to Paul that Fen is "lying." Abby and Kyle arrive at Jack's to help the family to help Billy in his time of need. Summer also arrives but has a few things to say to the family. Lily lets Neil and Devon know that she has come up with a plan to help the Abbotts. Nick tries to help Billy to cope with his loss but Billy, is too lost in his own grief over losing his little girl. Summer apologizes to the Abbotts for her recent attitude toward them. Jack and Summer hug. Sharon apologizes to Adam for her recent actions but he lets her know that he doesn't deserve her apology. Adam also admits that he did some terrible things. Sharon tries to uplift his spirits. Summer and Kyle discuss her little speech and how proud he is of her. Jack walks into the room and lets them know about his talk with a reporter about the Abbott family. Christine asks her if she is covering for Fen, but Lauren refuses to answer. Christine lets her know that there will be an investigation. Fen, Michael, and Lauren have a secret meeting, but Fen refuses to go along with their plan for him. Paul surprises Christine with a diamond engagement ring. Nick spends time with Sharon and Faith. Sharon invites Nick to go horseback riding with them. Nick agrees. Nick asks Sharon how she is doing. Sharon lets him know that she is back on her medication. Paul gets some new information concerning the hit and run. Billy joins the Abbotts and wants to know what they are up to. Billy starts to leave when Ashley arrives.
Jack: It still is hard to imagine. Delia's gone. Neil: I am so sorry, Jack. I'm sure your family is devastated. Jack: For such a tiny little girl, she gave out so much love. We all adored her. Neil: Jack, listen to me. As your friend and as your sponsor -- Jack: Don't worry. I'm sticking with the program. Neil: Good, good. Glad to hear that, because above and beyond that, I just want you to know I am here -- I'm here for you, day or night. Jack: Thanks. Nice to know I have some backup. And what your son did for this family... it was amazing. Did you know he was planning to do that? Neil: I'll tell you, man, I saw it on the news just like everybody else. I don't even think he knew he was gonna do that until he did. Jack: Well, the way people have stepped up... it's made all the difference for me. Neil: And Billy? Jack: Billy doesn't want anyone's help right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: How you holding up, Billy? Billy: Can no one read the "We're closed" sign that I have hanging on the door? Nick: Yeah. But, uh... we are out of swizzle sticks at the Underground. I was thinking I could get some from you -- just enough to get us through the weekend. Billy: Swizzle sticks. Nick: Those things you stir your drinks with. Billy: Yeah. I know what they are. You know, man, when I think of that Summer paternity fiasco, I am beguiled as to how you were able to pull that off for so many years because you are the worst liar I've ever met. Nick: Well, it's not a total lie. We are out of swizzle sticks. Billy: [Chuckles] Nick: But that's not the reason I came. Billy: Figured. Do me a favor -- tell your sister that you found me and I'm fine and she doesn't need to worry. Nick: Vick didn't ask me to come. Billy: Thanks for stopping by, but...please leave, all the same. Nick: Yeah, I'll, uh... I'll leave. Soon as you hear what I have to say. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: So, exactly the way we discussed last night, all right? When the D.A. comes in, you retract the story that you told in court yesterday. Fen! Look at me. Honey, you're just out of rehab, and you're free, and it is very important to your father and me that you remain that way. Now, promise me. [Door opens] Fen: I killed Carmine. Lauren: Fen. Christine: So you've said. Fen: Well, then why is my dad still in jail? [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: What are you doing here? Paul: Trying to figure out a way to save an innocent man. [SCENE_BREAK] Faith: Should I try my Halloween costume again tonight? Sharon: Oh, just to make sure it fits again. I think that's a good idea. Hello, Adam. Faith: Mommy, can I go play on the swings? I loved swinging with Delia. Sharon: Sure, Honey. Just stay right here where I can see you, okay? Adam: She used to come here and play with Delia? Sharon: Yeah. It was her idea to come. Delia is very much on her mind. Adam: Don't you think she's a little young to be -- Sharon: Well, they had a special assembly today at school in Delia's memory. Faith's pretty upset, so I'm trying to keep her focused on the happy memories. What about you? What's going on? [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: And I thought you were protecting Lauren. Michael: And you were wrong. Paul: I guess so, since Fen confessed. That's who you were protecting. Michael: Oh, I'm not going to engage in another pointless conversation about this. Paul: Suit yourself, Michael. Chris is meeting with Fen right now, getting his side of the story. Michael: And that's exactly what she's gonna walk away with -- nothing but a story... created by a kid desperately struggling to understand why his dad's been sent to jail. Paul: Be honest with me. Michael: I have been! You just don't appear ready to accept the fact! Paul: I know what a parent will do to save his child. Michael: Look, I fired that gun! What's it gonna take for it to get into your brain?! Paul: Fen has a mean temper, combined with his youth, not to mention the drugs. Michael: Off those. Paul: He never did have the best judgment. Michael: Moot point because he didn't do this. Paul: Oh, really? You think you're helping him right now? Do you really? You're only making matters worse by lying. [SCENE_BREAK] Christine: Your father won't automatically be set free because you burst into court claiming, "I did it!" That's not how the law works. Fen: But this is new evidence. Christine: Have a seat. This is a statement by a son who appears to desperately want to save his father. Lauren: And we all know how upset you are about what's going on with your dad, but this is not the way to handle it. Fen: It's the only way to handle it, because it's the truth. Look, what do I need to do? Christine: Do you have any proof of your claim that you shot Carmine? Lauren: Of course he doesn't. Fen: I remember doing it. Christine: And you're just remembering now, now that your father's been sentenced. Fen: I know how it looks, but I'm here now, and I'm ready to talk. Christine: Okay, Fen. Tell me your story. [SCENE_BREAK] Abby: I can't believe it. Lily: What, that we finished while it's still light out? Abby: That and that we put together an excellent marketing plan, even though my head is totally wrapped around what happened to Delia. Lily: Yeah, I'm surprised, actually, that you even kept this meeting. Abby: It's a distraction. And a break from feeling helpless. Lily: I understand. Abby: Now, there's someone who knows how to help. Devon: Hey, Guys. Abby: Hey. Devon: How's it going, Abby? Abby: Much better, thanks to you. The mega bucks that you added to the reward that Jack and Jill were offering, it really put the police investigation into hyperdrive. Devon: Well, I hope it helps. Lily: Much better use of your money than renting an amusement park for my kids, so... [Chuckles] Abby: Why'd you do it? Devon: That day... Lily and Cane were just talking about the fear that Delia's death has caused and how every parent and kid that hears that story is affected. Abby: So you planned it? Devon: Not at all. I just happened to walk into the press conference. And seeing Jill and Jack up there, desperate for answers, you know? I, uh... I just did what I could. Lily: I'm impressed. Abby: Katherine would be, too. Devon: It's actually funny you should even say that 'cause -- I don't know -- it's something about being in that house. It was almost like she was pushing me in front of the cameras. Lily: Oh, yeah. That sounds like Katherine. Devon: Yeah. I hope the money helps. I just want the guilty person found. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: You're being weirdly polite to me when there hasn't been a very pleasant word between us in months. Something's going on with you. What is it? Adam: You're thrown off because I'm being nice? Sharon: It's unusual. Adam: Maybe I'm trying to be a better person now that my son's been given a second chance. Sharon: The baby? What? Adam: The doctors, they said that -- that he would go blind without a transplant. We were down to just a matter of days. Sharon: And he got the transplant? Adam: Mm-hmm. Sharon: That's wonderful. So why do you seem so torn up? Adam: The donor was Delia Abbott. Sharon: Oh, gosh. So even though you are incredibly grateful, you... also are feeling guilty knowing what Billy and Chloe lost. Adam: I have a lot of guilt, yes. Sharon: Well, I've been where they are. When your child dies... the grief... it's paralyzing. And it is extraordinary that Billy and Chloe managed to think, let alone act, and dredge up that much generosity and reach out to you and Chelsea in your time of need. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: I'm sorry to hear that Billy is struggling. Jack: Well, it's understandable, but it's also troubling that he won't let anyone in. Neil: You know, I have to believe that, eventually, he's gonna realize that he doesn't have to go through this alone. Jack: Well, that's my hope. Neil: Sure. Traci: Oh, Neil. Neil: Hi, Trace. Traci: Hi. I didn't know that you were coming by. Neil: Yeah. Well, I wanted to offer you my condolences and show my support for your family. Traci: Thank you. That is so considerate and just like you. Neil: Absolutely. And like I told Jack, you call me if you need anything at all, all right? Traci: Okay. Jack: Thanks, Buddy. Traci: Thank you, thank you. Neil: No problem, Jack. Stay safe, all right? Traci: Have you heard anything at all from Billy? Anything? Jack: No, no, no. Come on. Sit down. Tried calling him. I just want to tell him how damn proud I am that he and Chloe decided to donate Delia's corneas for Adam's child. Traci: Yes, I'm really proud of him, too. Oh, God, that is an unthinkable decision to have to make for your child. Jack: You do know about that, don't you? Traci: Yes, I do. [Sniffles] [Clears throat] But I can't believe how much solace that has given me over time, but you know that. And, Jack, I'm so sorry. I -- I know that you must be missing Phyllis so much right now. Jack: I would give anything in the world to have Phyllis with me right now. I got to believe she's gonna pull through this. Sometimes all you have is hope. Traci: Oh. And a good dose of hope is exactly what Billy is gonna need. Jack, life as he knows it has ended. And it's going to be our job to show him that he can survive this. Jack: I was thinking the same thing. And I also know exactly what we need to do. [SCENE_BREAK] Fen: I saw Carmine in the alley. I took out my gun and... I shot him. Christine: What gun was it? Where did you get it? Fen: A gun. I had it. Lauren: You've never touched a gun in your life. Christine: Why were you in the alley? Fen: What do you mean? Christine: Were you taking a stroll? Were you following Carmine? What led up to the shooting? Fen: Um, the -- the details are kind of fuzzy. Lauren: You have to tell her, Fen. Fen: That doesn't change what happened, Mom. Lauren: Fen was high that night. Christine: Is that true? Fen: Yeah. Christine: So, do you have anything else to offer other than your vague memory? Fen: No, but I -- Christine: Uh, I -- I'll report what you said to the judge. Lauren: And then? Christine: The judge will have to use his own discretion and weigh the value of Fen's statement, see if there's enough evidence to even consider overturning the conviction, but I have to tell you, I'm not optimistic. Fen: How? It's the truth. Christine: Your recollection is flimsy, at best, coupled with the fact that Michael has never once wavered from his confession. It would just give the judge no reason to overturn it. Lauren: Thank you. Thank you, Christine. Come on, let's go. Fen: But this is wrong. All right? I'm not lying to protect my dad. My dad lied to protect me. And now my mom is lying, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Paul: Work with me, Michael. Maybe we can find a solution before things get worse for your son. Michael: According to the judge, I'm 10 years worth of guilty. Fenmore's just a troubled kid. Paul: That's what you want everyone to believe. Michael: Look, I think you should stop investigating. Carmine Basco deserved to die. I take full responsibility for his demise. Paul: You're not the only one who hated Carmine, and you're not the only one terrified of what he might do that night! You claimed you killed Carmine! Fen claimed he killed Carmine! Michael: He's lying! Paul: What if he killed him in self-defense? Michael: I told you what happened! Paul: What if he didn't even try and kill him?! I don't want to see your son go to prison any more than you do. Chris might be able to make a case for a lesser charge... Michael: No. Paul: ...For less time served -- maybe no time at all, Michael! Then neither one of you would have to be ripped from your family and spend the next 10 years rotting in prison. This can work out but not until I know the whole story. [SCENE_BREAK] Abby: Hey, I got Uncle Jack's message. Kyle: So did I. Jack: Thanks for coming. Traci: You are rallying the troops. Abby: I tried to reach my mom. I told her to call here. Jack: I am confident we'll hear from Ashley. I called this family meeting because we all need to find a way to help Billy. Abby: I've tried. Kyle: We all have. Jack: We all have, and we've all failed. None of us is getting through to him individually, but as a group, as a family, as Abbotts, there's nothing we can't do. Summer: I, um... I guess I'm late. Sorry. Jack: No, you're not late at all. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Okay, Nick, I appreciate you coming by, but what are you gonna tell me that I haven't heard a thousand times today? Nick: Well, for starters, I just want to tell you how incredibly sorry I am. Billy: Thank you. I have heard that today. I got to get back to work. Nick: Look, I get it. The, uh... the avoidance, the anger... not wanting to share your pain with anyone. I wish to God every day I didn't understand it, but I do. Billy: Okay. So, uh... because of Cassie, you have some sort of magic solution to make me feel better, to make all this stop? You got that for me? Nick: I have no simple answers. Billy: Then what good are you? Nick: I just have my experience. Billy: And what is that? That time heals all? Nick: Billy, you don't heal. You adjust. Billy: How long does that take? Couple months, a few years? How long before you stopped going back and forth from just complete, searing pain to absolute- void nothingness? How long did it take you to stop missing your little girl? Nick: I'll let you know when that happens. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: You know, I spent the night and all morning... at the hospital, by my son's bedside. Sharon: Is Chelsea there now? Adam: I'm gonna go back in a bit. Let her go home and rest for a while. Sharon: With no sleep? Have you managed to sleep at all since the surgery? Adam: Got a lot on my mind. Sharon: Yeah. Um... is his recovery going okay? Adam: We won't have the final results for the next few days, but so far so good. Sharon: Well, better than good. Miraculous. Adam: Yeah, just been... afraid that he wouldn't... be able to stabilize his sight. He'd be punished for the things that I've done. Sharon: I know that you don't really believe that that's the way things work. And besides, you said you're trying to be a better person now. So am I. Adam: How's it going? Sharon: Well, enough that... I could tell you that I owe you an apology. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: I just came from seeing Jack. Lily: How's he doing? Neil: Very well, considering. He mentioned how much he appreciated your gesture, Devon. Lily: Gesture? People don't see that kind of money in a lifetime. That was more than a gesture. Devon: Well, that's nice of Jack, but I didn't do it to be called a hero or to have my picture in the paper, either. Lily: It is a nice photo, Devon. Devon: Well, the attention shouldn't be about me, though. It should be about Delia. I only did what I did to give whoever has helpful information some more incentive to come forward and give Billy and Chloe and anyone who loves Delia some peace of mind. Neil: Your sister and I understand that. Lily: Well, you are still a hero to us. And, actually, your grand gesture gave me an idea. I was trying to tell you while we were with Abby, but I didn't want to mention it to the Abbotts until I ran it by you two. Devon: What is it? Neil: Got a way to find the hit-and-run driver? Lily: No, but I think that it will bring the family some comfort. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: I have to tell you, you're pretty terrible at this cheering-up stuff. [Both chuckle] Billy: But at least you're honest. Most people, they just, uh... want to tell you things they think are gonna help ease the pain, and really, they just have no idea what they're talking about because they have no idea what this is like. Nick: Their intentions are good, but they just don't know. And I hope they never do. Billy, I want to tell you that... it doesn't get better. But I promise you, it will get easier. Billy: I don't know how I'm gonna make myself realize I'm never gonna see Delia again. I walk by her room, I see her stuff... I never get to hold her again. Nick: Look, I don't know how it happens... but one day, I woke up, and I realized that another day and night had passed. And I was okay. And then it happened again and again. And that's how you get through it. And, Billy, I just want you to know, if you ever need anything, if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here. Billy: Yeah, because you'd like to rehash that over and over again... rip open the wound of the worst days of your life. Nick: If it helps you get through your terrible days, absolutely. You call me whenever you want. Billy: Thanks. Nick: And I'm gonna ask you for one more thing. Other than those swizzle sticks. Billy: [Chuckles] Nick: All those people you were talking about, your family and friends that were reaching out to you... they lost Delia, too. Yeah, it's a different kind of loss... but they're in pain, too, man. And they need you as much as you need them. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: I wasn't sure you were gonna make it. I'm sure glad you're here, though. Summer: What you're doing, I think it's great. The press conference, the reward... getting everybody together. What happened with Delia, I haven't known what I could do. Jack: Well, we're all trying to figure that out. Summer: I'd like to say something first, if that's okay. Jack: Sure. Go ahead. Summer: I know that I haven't exactly reached out to you guys as a family since finding out that Jack's my dad, but I really do appreciate you guys trying to give me my space. Traci: Oh, Honey, anything you need. Summer: Well, right now, what I need is to tell you guys that... it does mean something to me, being an Abbott. And when Jack called and left me the message asking me to come over today, I... I knew that this was where I needed to be. Jack: Thank you. You have no idea how much those words mean to me. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: I've...done some really horrible things over the past few months. Looking back, I just... I can't even believe it was me. But, um...one of the things I regret is the way that I behaved towards you. Adam: Way that you behaved towards me? Sharon: I just need to get this out, okay? I was uglier to you than I needed to be. Granted, you were no gentleman. But the fact is, um... I wasn't taking my medication. Adam: I know. Sharon: You did? Adam: Yeah, I've been... keeping tabs on you. Sharon: How? I mean -- never mind. It doesn't matter. I don't want to go there. The point is, I am -- I intend to stay on track and on this course of treatment. Adam: That's good. Sharon: Not too high, Faith. So, you know, the only reason I'm bringing it up is just because I realized I -- I've done some terrible things, and I just needed to, you know, get out in front of it and own it, and that's why I'm bringing it up. So, I'm sorry. Adam: Except I don't want your apology. I don't -- I don't deserve it. Sharon: You know, I've come to realize that we all deserve forgiveness. Adam: Not me. Not my sins. Things far worse than what you know. Sharon: What are you talking about? I think you've forgotten who you're talking to. I know exactly who you are, Adam Newman. I've seen the worst of you and I've seen the best. Adam: You haven't seen everything. Sharon: Well, I don't know what you're beating yourself up about this time, and I'm not even gonna ask you to tell me. Faith, Honey, it's time to go! But I remember an Adam... who took me in when no one else would... who realized I needed help and got me into treatment. And I know that that Adam is still somewhere inside of you. You're not as bad of a guy as people say you are. And... you're definitely not as bad of a guy as you think you are. [SCENE_BREAK] Kyle: Hey. That was very cool of you. Summer: What, my lame speech? Kyle: Showing up and saying those nowhere-near-lame things that you said. Summer: Yeah, just...trying to make all this work. Kyle: Right there with you. Abby: You know, Aunt Traci, I haven't said it enough, but I'm really glad that you've been around. Traci: I'm really glad to have been here, especially -- especially at a time like this. But it's really good to hear. Thank you, Sweetie. Mwah! Oh. How did it go? Kyle: What did you tell the reporter? Jack: That we are very grateful for the abundance of tips that keep coming in and that we are confident that the hit-and-run driver will be caught. Abby: Well, what kind of follow-up questions did they have? Jack: Well, they did ask how the Abbott family was holding up. I told them the Abbotts are doing what the Abbotts always do in crisis -- we stand together, strong and united. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: So, what I was thinking is, how about we donate a portion of the profits from the Jabot Christmas cosmetics gift set? Devon: To what charity? Lily: The children's hospital fund. Neil: Yeah. That is a fantastic idea. Lily: Really? You think the Abbotts will like it? Neil: Oh, I'm sure they will. I am so proud of you two. Devon: What a coincidence. We're pretty proud to have you as a dad. Neil: My kids, you two are doing well. My grandchildren are happy and healthy. I am so thankful. Lily: Despite a very challenging year. Neil: Yeah. Delia's death has put all those negative issues in perspective. Whatever we've had to deal with, we've dealt with it, and we can continue dealing with our problems. Losing a child... I can't even fathom that. [SCENE_BREAK] Christine: Are you covering up the truth to protect Fen? Fen: Just tell her, Mom. Lauren: Michael killed Carmine. Fen: How can you do this? Christine: Look, obviously, something is going on here. Are you sure there's nothing more I need to know? Lauren: We need your understanding, Christine. Fen is going through such a hard time -- you know, the drugs and the rehab, and now Michael being in jail, it's just... it's too much for him. Christine: Clearly he's struggling with what's happening to his family. I'm really sorry with what you're all facing. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: How many times do I have to say it? Fenmore had nothing to do with Carmine's death. Paul: Then why did he confess? Michael: Because he couldn't handle what I did. Now look -- if you really -- if you really care about Fenmore, drop this. Paul: Even though I know something's off? Michael: You know what? Why don't you try this? Why don't you just try being my friend? Paul: I don't have to try. Michael: If you could just... check in on, uh... Fenmore and Lauren, see if they're okay while I'm -- Paul: It doesn't have to be this way. [Knock on door] Michael: What are you gonna do? Paul: You want to stick to your story? Fine. There will be an investigation into Fen's claims. Michael: Sit. [Door closes] Michael: All right. So, what happened with Christine? Fen: Well, Mom made me look like a joke. Lauren: I wasn't gonna let you sacrifice yourself. Michael: But did Christine believe Fenmore? Lauren: She was skeptical. But it got her thinking. Michael: Is she gonna take it to the judge? Lauren: Yes, but she doubts that a judge is gonna view Fen's statements as credible evidence. Michael: That's good. Fen: No, it's insane. I killed Carmine. Michael: Son, I appreciate you wanting to tell your version of the story. Fen: Well, then why are you having me lie? Michael: You will not end up in here. Look, Son, that anyone should have to be punished for ridding the world of a bastard like Carmine... I want you to recant. Fen: If nobody believes me, there's no point -- Michael: Because of what you said, Paul has to continue the investigation. Lauren: He's reopening the investigation. Fen: So, if the chief of police believes me, then -- Lauren: Michael... what are we gonna do? Michael: We'll work around it. But, Fenmore, I need you to swear to me that you will at least stop talking about this. From now on, you let your mom and I handle this, okay? [SCENE_BREAK] Christine: At first, I didn't believe Fen's confession. Paul: And now? Christine: And now I have more questions. When you took Michael's confession -- Paul: I never bought it, and now I'm obligated to look into Fen's story. I mean, damn, I hate this situation. Christine: God, our friends' lives have been ruined because of that worthless Carmine Basco. Paul: And the thought of Michael spending the next 10 years in prison... I mean, he was former D.A. half the guys in there he put in there. It's not gonna be easy on him. Christine: Well, I'm working on something that might help. It could be too little too late. Paul: Oh. Christine: Mm. I've missed you, and I've missed this. I'm so sorry I've been so consumed with work since I've been back from D.C. Paul: I know, we both are. But ever since they posted that reward, I haven't been able to breathe. Christine: Lot of new tips? Paul: Oh, yeah, from every crackpot in the upper northwest. And I've got to check out every single one of them. Christine: I know, no matter how outrageous. Paul: But look -- I want to make this up to you. I promise I will. Christine: [Chuckles] Oh, right here, right now? Paul: Well, I know it's not the most romantic place, and it's probably not the best time, but, uh... Christine: Well... Paul: ...Considering our schedules. Christine: We could start by making a date for tonight. Paul: I don't think so. I think this can't wait. Christine: But, I mean, it can't be here, in the middle of the afternoon. Paul: You know, having witnessed so much tragedy lately... it once again reminded me not to take all the good things in my life for granted. And, true, I may be going at this a bit backwards, asking this of my wife, but, uh... Christine: What exactly are you asking? Paul: Well... Christine: [Gasps] Paul: Will you marry me, Mrs. Williams? Christine: [Laughs] [Laughing] Christine: Yes. Yeah. [Both laugh] [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: That is love. Daddy needed a big hug today. Sharon: Well, you have perfect timing. Faith just finished her snack, and we were headed down to the stables for a ride. Want to ask your daddy if he can come with us? Faith: Can you? Nick: Absolutely. Sharon: All right, well, run upstairs, Faithy. Grab your warmer coat and your boots. Nick: How's she doing today? Sharon: Well, I guess. We've talked about everything that's happened, and she knows that Delia's with Cassie now. Nick: And how are you? Sharon: It's brought up some painful memories, but I'm coping. Nick: Well, I'm not just asking about that. You told me you were gonna start taking better care of yourself. So how are you doing, really? [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: If we're gonna help Billy out, I need ideas from all of you about what we, as a group, can do for him. [Door closes] Billy: What's going on, Guys? [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: I'm...better than when you last saw me. Nick: So you got a new prescription? Sharon: I did, and I promise this time I will take my medication. Nick: Well, it would be great if you can stick with that. Sharon: I understand that you would be skeptical. Nick: I'm just concerned. Sharon: Well, I am better, Nick. Once I acknowledged that I couldn't go on the way that I had, something shifted inside of me. Nick: How do you mean? Sharon: Remember how I told you I would talk to Cassie and look to the past for answers and comfort? Nick: Yeah. Sharon: Now I know I have to rely on my treatment and on myself and look to the future. And just never stop appreciating all the great parts of my life and know how lucky I am that I have them. Faith: I'm ready. Nick: Come here. How lucky we both are. [SCENE_BREAK] Devon: So, when we get back to the office, we can start working on a presentation for Lily's charitable idea. Neil: I'm sure it's gonna help a lot of kids, Honey. Lily: Thank you. We should plan, like, a big family dinner soon. Neil: Yeah, we will. I would love to do that. Love you. See you. My man, I'll talk to you later. Lily: Bye. Neil: Yeah. [Clears throat] Hi. Sophia, it's me. I'm good. How you doing? Good, good. Uh, bad time? Yeah, can I speak to Moses for a minute? Thanks. Hey! There he is, my little man. Moses, it's your daddy. I just wanted to hear your voice. I love you, Son. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Fenmore, I need you to give me your word. Can you do that for me, Son? Fen: [Sighs deeply] Lauren: Fen, you have to think this through. Fen: Look, I have thought this through. I am seeing things more clearly than I have in months. And, look -- I love what you're both trying to do for me, but, Dad, I cannot let you pay for something I did. Michael: Your mother and I have decided this. You have no -- Fen: Look, all I want you to do is tell the truth -- that you didn't kill Carmine. I did. I need to make this right. [SCENE_BREAK] Christine: Actual rings. [Chuckles] Paul: I told you I was working on it. Christine: Well, I have to say, you definitely know how to make things up to me. Paul: Oh. I'm glad you like them. Christine: I love them. [Telephone rings] Paul: Ugh. Back to reality. Christine: Yeah. Paul: Williams. That's great news. All right, keep me posted. Sounds like we have a solid lead on the Delia Abbott hit-and-run. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: You guys came here to talk about me, huh? Jack: Well, we were gonna talk to you later, but as long as you're here, I -- Billy: You know, I just came by to thank you for posting the reward. Jack: You're welcome. Billy: But I am really not up for some Kumbaya-filled group therapy, so if that's what you had in mind, I'm just -- Traci: No, no, Billy. Honey, it wasn't anything like that. Abby: No, we're just family, hanging out together. Stay. Billy: Look, I appreciate it. I do. I love you, but, uh... I'm not doing this right now. I got to go, so... Ashley: You can't leave now, Billy. Not when we're all finally back together again. [NEXT_ON] Avery: Your lie, Nikki. Your lie, and I resent you making it mine. Dylan: But you're coming to me about Billy. Who's looking out for you? Billy: I can't go tomorrow. Ashley: You got to say goodbye to your little girl.
