Victoria loses her wedding ring while she is trying on wedding dresses. Chelsea finds it but can't help noticing something is bothering Victoria. Victoria tells Chelsea that it bothers her that Travis wants to get married so quickly and that he didn't tell her that his ex-girlfriend Michelle came to town. Victoria tells Chelsea that Travis never talks to her about things, and she is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Travis tells Victor that he doesn't want him interfering in his relationship with Victoria, then he quits his job at Newman Enterprises. Travis asks Jill and Billy for a job at Brash and Sassy and tells Billy he wants to be the one to tell Victoria the news. Chloe allows Sharon to see Christian while Chelsea is with Victoria helping her try on wedding dresses. Chelsea figures out what happened when Sharon shuts the door too hard while she is sneaking out of the condo, but she doesn't tell Nick that Sharon was there. Michael advises Dylan that he would have a better chance at getting visitation with Christian if he left Sharon out of the case, but Dylan refuses and is determined to fight for visitation with Sharon. Leslie advises Nick to give visitation to Dylan but not Sharon. Nick refuses to share Christian with anyone and prepares for a court battle. Jill tells Victoria that Travis came to visit and has some news. Victoria insists that Billy tells her what Travis talked to him about. Billy tells her Travis quit his job at Newman Enterprises and wants to work for Brash and Sassy. Victoria is upset that Travis didn't discuss it with her and knows that Billy knows something else he isn't telling her, but Billy tells her she needs to talk to Travis.
Chelsea: [Gasps] Well, hello! Nick: Hey. Thank you so much for doing this. Chelsea: Oh, are you kidding me? It's my pleasure. Hello, little man. We are gonna have so much fun while your dad's out doing boring stuff. Nick: [Laughs] Chelsea: Any word from Dylan? Nick: Uh, no. Nothing. Chelsea: I'm really hoping he'll reconsider. I mean, he just doesn't strike me as the suing type. Nick: You know, he seemed pretty serious. Chelsea: I was hoping, you know, giving him a few days to think about it, he'd reconsider and realize that suing for visitation is a bad idea. Nick: That's what I'm hoping, too, but I got to be cautious. I can't take any chances when it comes to my kid. You know, I thought I lost him forever. There's no way I'm letting him go now. Yeah. That's not happening. Sharon: you know how they say silence is deafening? S I miss the noise. I miss sully babbling in his high chair and faith bouncing down the stairs. It's just [Inhales sharply] The silence is killing me. Dylan: Can I have some more coffee? Sharon: He speaks. Yes. But don't you have to be at the station? Dylan: I told them I was coming in late. Michael's stopping by. Sharon: Baldwin? Why? Did Christine change her mind about the charges that she dropped? Dylan: No, that's not it. No. Sharon: Well, I thought we came to an agreement at Thanksgiving. Did she decide to pursue the case now? Dylan: Christine's not gonna pursue anything. But we are. Sharon: I don't understand. Dylan: I want to sue for visitation with Christian. Jill: What a sight for sore eyes, the two of you working together. Victoria: I have some figures for you to look at. Jill: What is that? Billy: That is an engagement ring, mom. Jill: Well, let me [Chuckles] Rephrase this. What is it doing there? Billy: Well, one's usually offered one when someone gets engaged. Victoria: Travis and I are engaged. Jill: You told me she hadn't made up her mind, she hadn't said yes. Victoria: Can I tell you how much I love the fact that you were discussing this behind my back? Billy: That's sarcasm, just in case you didn't know. Victoria: Yeah. Jill: Yeah, yeah. Victoria: I decided on Thanksgiving that there's nothing for me to think about, so I said yes, and I'm extremely happy about it. Jill: Congratulations. Victoria: Thank you. Jill: [Gasps] Oh, shoot. I'm sorry. People shouldn't say "congratulations" to a bride. It's considered very bad luck. Victor: So these two vendors in particular may need some massaging, all right? Travis: A personal touch. Victor: Yeah. Be prepared to fly to London in the next few months. Travis: Okay. Any idea when? Victor: No. I'll let you know. Now, hopefully this won't interfere with your wedding plans. Travis: Nothing's gonna spoil our wedding plans or my mood. Keep trying. Victor: So you feel pretty cocky, huh? Marrying the boss's daughter without having the grace to ask for her hand? Travis: We went through this, victor. It wasn't a show of disrespect to you. Victor: It was showing respect to my daughter. Is that it? Travis: That's exactly right. Victoria's a strong woman. She's an independent woman. She's capable of making her own choices. Victor: And for some inexplicable reason, she chose you. Let me remind you of something, Travis. Husbands come and go, you know. But I'm her dad. I'm here to stay. Dylan: You seem surprised. Sharon: Um, yeah. You were so against even the possibility at Thanksgiving when I brought up pursuing visitation. Dylan: I know. I took off. Sharon: And when you finally came home, you would barely speak to me. Dylan: After I left Chelsea's, I-I went for a walk and I thought about a lot of things, and I thought about what you said the night I found out about Christian. Sharon: I said a lot of things. Dylan: You said that we have rights and that we should fight, but I didn't want to hear it because I was so angry. Sharon: And now? Dylan: I thought about all the days and nights that we spent together as a family, the doctor's visits, the camping, waffle Sundays. I mean, how many walks in the park? Sharon: Countless. Dylan: We are a huge part of his life. We were his life. Sharon: And he was ours. Dylan: I just don't feel like it's right that we get completely cut out. So I went to victor's, and I told nick. I told him that I can't watch Christian grow up from a distance. And I can't pretend that he's just another kid. Sharon: So we're in this together? Dylan: We have to be. Chelsea: A court will never grant visitation to people who kept you from your son for a year. Nick: There were extenuating circumstances. Chelsea: Well, it doesn't matter. Christian is yours, period. Sharing him is out of the question. Nick: I hope my lawyer can be as convincing as you. All right, little man. Chelsea: [Gasps] Oh! Nick: You be a good boy for Chelsea. Chelsea: He's an angel! Are you kidding me? Can you say goodbye to your daddy? Huh? Can you say goodbye? Nick: [Sighs] I hate leaving him. Chelsea: I know. But you'll be back soon, won't you? Won't you? And we'll have fun while we wait. Nick: Thanks again for doing this. Chelsea: Of course. Go already! He's fine! [Chuckles] He's fine! Nick: All right. See you, buddy. Chelsea: Say bye! Say bye. That's your daddy. Bye. Oh, you are so sweet. I don't know about you, but I think your dad's pretty crazy about you. Who wouldn't be, huh, with that sweet little face? Oh, you tired? You tired? I have an idea. Why don't you take a little nappy? When you get up, we are gonna play all day long. [Gasps] Yes, we are. Gonna play all day. Chloe: Hey, is that Christian? Chelsea: Yeah. Chloe: Hi. Chelsea: I told nick that I would watch him while he meets with his lawyer. Chloe: Oh. Lawyer? Does that have something to do with Sharon? Chelsea: Why do you ask? Chloe: At Thanksgiving, Sharon mentioned maybe wanting to pursue visitation rights with Christian. Chelsea: Well, I hope you told her that's a terrible idea. Chloe: Dylan is his uncle, and Sharon is his aunt, so what's really the big deal about them spending some time together? Chelsea: Um, I don't know. Maybe the fact that Sharon kept this little baby from his -- Chloe: Victoria. Chelsea: What? Chloe: Ehh, don't you have an appointment with her? Chelsea: [Gasps] I totally forgot. I totally forgot. Um, shoot. You know what? I'll take the baby with me and he can sleep at the design studio. Chloe: No! No, no, no. I'll watch him. Chelsea: Are you sure? Do you have plans? Chloe: No. And it's about time Christian and I spent some quality time together. Victor: It was one thing to be out of the company payroll. Quite another to become a member of the Newman family. That means more is expected of you. Travis: I expect you to trust me and do right by your daughter and to allow us to find our own happiness without you interfering. Victor: You know, Travis, I would be glad to do that if it weren't for the fact that you have shown some egregious lack of judgment both personally and professionally. And as your boss and future father-in-law, I cannot ignore those facts. Travis: I agree. Let's cross one of those off the list. I quit. Victor: [Chuckles] Billy: We have a challenge on our hands regaining some of the market shares from jabot, so -- Jill: So when's the wedding? Billy: Mom, can we not? Victoria: We haven't set a date yet. Jill: Hmm. And the venue? I imagine it's gonna be someplace lavish like the top of the tower, right? Or you could have it on his boat! Although it might make some of the guests sick. Victoria: Again, [Chuckles] We -- we just haven't planned that far ahead yet. Jill: Well, good. Good, good, good. I am a great believer in very long engagements so you can really get to know the other person, you know, like does he eat pistachios in bed or does she sleep with the blinds open? Billy: Both vital in picking a lifetime partner. Victoria: We're really both up to speed on each other's habits. Jill: Oh, good for you. Billy: Yes, that's good. Now, can we drop it and get back to work, please? Victoria: And as far as the long engagement goes, um, Travis wants to get married sooner rather than later, so we're thinking around Christmas, actually. Jill: Christmas? That's about a month away. Victoria: Oh. [Chuckles] That completely reminded me that I'm meeting with Chelsea to try on dresses, so if you'll excuse me. Got to get going. Jill: Well, good luck. I hope you find the perfect fit. Billy: You were absent on the day they taught subtlety at school. Jill: God, you! The love of your life is marrying another man, and the wrong man! Billy: You just don't know when to drop it, do you? Jill: Drop it? Drop it, Billy? Oh, honey, I'm just getting started. showing the world that you're starting fresh. Victoria: No, I don't want to say anything to anyone. No statement. [Sighs] Chelsea: Wow. For someone that doesn't want to make a statement, it's too late. You're already making one. This looks amazing on you. Victoria: Really? You think so? Chelsea: Yeah. If you want, I can add some beading or I can maybe add a little more lace. Victoria: Uh, no. Too old-fashioned. Chelsea: Okay. What about something more contemporary? Victoria: Oh, wow. Uh, no, too contemporary. Chelsea: All right, what about something in the middle? Victoria: You know, nothing is really jumping out at me. I'm not sure why. Chelsea: You know... we don't have to do this today. Victoria: No. Why not? Chelsea: Well, I don't know. I mean, it's a little soon to be dealing with the dress situation. Maybe you should plan the rest of your wedding, see what kind of vibe you're going for, and then we can take it from there. Victoria: Sound an awful lot like Jill. Chelsea: I have a feeling that's not a compliment. Victoria: She's just always reading into everything that I do. Like it took me a minute to accept Travis' proposal, and I'm sorry if I was trying to be responsible and trying to make the right decision for me and the kids. But to hear Jill tell it, I'm not ready, and I'm trying to postpone things because of... my ring. Oh, my God. My ring. I lost it. Victor: So, Travis, this was your grand finale, huh, your declaration of independence, to show the world that you're your own man. Travis: I am my own man. Victor: Uh-huh. Travis: I'm the man your daughter loves and wants to marry. Victor: Well, I got to tell you something, Travis. My daughter has a lot of business savvy, but, you know, her personal choices are very questionable at times. Travis: Not this time. This job drove a wedge between us. We won't let it happen again. Victor: What do you mean, "we"? Have you told her that you're quitting? Travis: I'm on my way to tell her right now. After all, don't I owe it to her father to come to him first? Victor: You think you're funny, aren't you? Huh? Have you ever thought of how you're gonna manage to support your family? Travis: You don't have to worry about that. I have another job in mind. Victor: So you don't plan to live off my daughter's wealth? Travis: That's not even remotely a possibility. Marriage is a partnership. Victor: So considering that partnership, have you signed a prenup? [Door opens] Nick: Oh, uh, Natalie wasn't at her desk. I can wait outside if you want. Travis: No, your timing's perfect. Victor: Your future brother-in-law was just leaving. Travis: Speaking of, I hope you'll consider being my best man. I know it would mean a lot to Victoria. Nick: Uh, yeah, I'll do anything for my sister. If that'll make her happy, let's do it. Travis: Great. Then we're all on the same page. Nick: Best man? I mean, I hardly know the dude. Victor: Well, I'm afraid that it applies to your sister. Nick: Look, dad, just stay out of it, all right? It's Vick's life. It's her decision. Victor: Son, do you think I'm gonna change now at this stage of my life? I'll do anything to protect my children, so that includes hoping that you will not succumb to Dylan's threats. Michael: Suing for visitation is one thing. Going up against nick means taking on victor and all the king's horses and all the king's men. [Cell phone rings] Dylan: Okay, we know the Newmans don't fight fair. What I want to know is, can we win? Sharon: Chloe, hi. If this is about work, can you just tell Chelsea that I'm in a meeting right now and I will be there as soon as possible? Chloe: This can't wait. You have to come straight to Chelsea's as soon as possible. Sharon: I'm sure she will understand. Chloe: No excuses, Sharon. We're on a deadline, so get here now. Dylan: Is everything okay? Sharon: I have to go to work for something. Dylan: Right -- right now? Sharon: Yeah. Um, I won't be long. Promise. Michael: Take your time. Dylan and I have plenty to discuss. Dylan: You couldn't say something when Sharon was here. Michael: You asked me if you could win. The answer is yes. But your chances would be a hell of a lot better without your wife. "The young and the restless" will continue. Billy: Fantastic. You're still here. Jill: I'm not leaving until I get some answers. Billy: Even if I had something on Travis, I wouldn't tell Victoria about it. Jill: Why not? Billy: Because the last thing she needs is me sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. Jill: Your nose absolutely belongs! This is no time to be a gentleman, honey. If you have something that will blow up Travis and Victoria, hit the detonator. Billy: Travis. Travis: Hey. Billy: Hey. Travis: Is Victoria back from her dress fitting yet? Billy: Uh, no, she's not. But, uh, I'm glad you're here. I, uh, just want to say congratulations on your engagement. Travis: Thanks, man. I appreciate that. Billy: Yeah. Mom? Jill: Well, I wish you and Victoria every happiness, every happiness that you both deserve. So, is it your first time to the altar? Travis: First and last, yeah. Victoria won't regret saying yes. Jill: And yet she took such a long time to say yes. Billy: Wow. I apologize, but there's really no excuse. It's just the way she is. Travis: Nah, it's okay. You're right, Jill. She did take her time, and honestly, I don't blame her. Thank you, by the way. You forced me to take a hard look at myself, and I realized I should have been honest with Victoria as soon as my ex came to town. Jill: Your ex? Was this the woman who ruined your career on wall street? Wow. You must have been very, very attached to her. She must have meant a lot to you. Travis: At the time, yeah. But nobody means more to me now than Victoria. And I just proved that by quitting my job at Newman. Victoria: Oh, my gosh. I just have no idea where it is. I mean, maybe I put it in my purse or I was washing my hands. I just can't remember. Chelsea: Found it! Victoria: You did?! Chelsea: Yes. Victoria: Oh! Chelsea: One sparkly, exquisite engagement ring. Victoria: Thank you. Thank you so much. Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Victoria: I don't know what I was thinking. Chelsea: Well, Travis just proposed, right? You probably haven't had time to get it sized. Victoria: That's very true. So, I think I'm gonna go to my jeweler this afternoon and make sure that it fits properly. Okay, so let's get back to the dresses. Chelsea: Victoria? Victoria: Huh? Chelsea: Are you okay? Victoria: Yeah. Why would you say that? Chelsea: You just seem very...anxious. Victoria: Oh, well, I mean, I did just almost lose my wedding ring. Chelsea: Totally. But it just seems like it's more than that. This engagement, is it happening too fast? You know what? It's none of my business. It's none of my business. But if you want to talk, I'm here. Victoria: Travis doesn't want to wait. Chelsea: Okay, well, what about you? What do you want? Victoria: [Sighs] It's not my first walk down the aisle. Chelsea: Ah. But it has to be your last. Victoria: Yeah. Right. I mean, not just for me, but for the kids, too. And I think you and I both know that it takes a lot more than the right dress, the right ring. It takes love and commitment and trust, and even then sometimes it doesn't work. Chelsea: Look at Dylan and Sharon. They thought they had it all, and now... Victoria: Yeah, I know. Dylan. He's been in my thoughts. But, you know, nick had it all, too, and -- and then he lost it. Chelsea: You don't have to convince me. If anyone deserves to be happy, it's your brother. Michael: I know this won't be what you want to hear, but we can make a much better case for visitation if Sharon is kept out of it entirely. She is the one who knew that sully was really nick's son and kept it a secret for months, not just from him, but from you. Leslie: It's a complicated case. I'm not gonna lie. I mean, Sharon was initially the victim in all this. And to be quite honest, I'm surprised she's not suing Fairview for mistreatment. They left her in the care of an unhinged doctor. Victor: Let us not give the impression that we feel any sympathy with Sharon, okay? Leslie: No, I'm just saying it's not cut and dried. Victor: It is very cut and dried. Under no circumstances will I allow her to be close to my grandson. Nick: Bottom line, Leslie -- do you believe Sharon and Dylan deserve visitation? Dylan: Are you saying that a judge would rule in my favor if I agreed to only see Christian without Sharon? Michael: I'm saying a judge would look at it favorably. Leslie: A judge would want to do what's best for the child, and if Dylan's been a loving father figure and caregiver -- Victor: Christian is not his son. Therefore Dylan has no right. Nick: [Sighs] But it's more than just about rights. This is about the well- being of a little boy. Dylan: Forget about my rights. All I care about is Christian. He spent his first crucial year of his life loved and cared for by two people. Michael: So you won't lose Sharon from the case. Dylan: She loves that kid as much as I do. Leslie: It's your call. We can avoid going to court if I offer Michael a deal. Visitation rights for Dylan but not for Sharon. Victor: Never, Leslie. You will fight this all the way. You understand? Leslie: What do you want to do? Nick: He's my son, and I'm not sharing him with anyone. Sharon: So, what is this deadline we're on, and why does it take precedent over everything else? Chloe: You'll see. Sharon: Chloe, Dylan and I are in the middle of a hugely important family matter -- Chloe: Shh. You're gonna wake the baby. Sharon: Haven't Connor and Bella outgrown that thing by now? [Gasps] Sully. [Gasps] Hi, sweet boy. Oh, my God. Chloe: Maybe you should call him Christian so you don't confuse him. Sharon: Hi, Christian. What's he doing here? Chloe: Nick dropped him off with Chelsea, and she had to get to an appointment, so I offered to watch him. Either of them will be back any moment, so if you want to pick him up and hold him, now's your chance. Sharon: Come here, buddy. [Gasps] Ohh! Yeah. [Gasps] Chloe: [Chuckles] Sharon: Oh, my gosh. I've missed him so much. I can't believe I'm holding him again. You know, when I asked you to go to bat for me and Dylan, I didn't think... Chloe: Well, I had my reservations. You know, Chelsea has been -- I know! -- So wonderful to me and to Bella. And you know she's very supportive of nick. Sharon: Well, then why... Chloe: Well, when I heard there might be a legal battle, my blood just went cold. 'Cause you know victor is gonna be in nick's ear urging him to fight with the whole Newman arsenal, and I just thought you deserve to see that boy one last time. Sharon: Well, thank you. You know, you put your friendship with Chelsea at risk, not to mention the wrath of victor. I mean, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. Chloe: Well, they don't know what it's like to be an outcast. [Christian babbling] Chloe: Looked at, spoken to like there's something fundamentally wrong with you. Sharon: The story of my life. Chloe: And I remember what it was like when I thought they might take Bella from me, and... I might just be one person, but I really believe that you deserve this. Sharon: That smell. Chloe: [Chuckles] I know. Only if they could bottle it. Sharon: This can't be the last time I hold him. It can't be. Somehow we're gonna find a way. [Christian babbling] Chloe: [Laughs] Chelsea: So, these are the finalists, hmm? Victoria: Yeah. I mean, it's gonna be hard to choose. They're all so beautiful. Chelsea: Well, you know, we don't have to decide this second. Not to overwhelm you, but I do have other options if you haven't found the one. Victoria: Other options? As if we don't have enough options already. We've got short and long and straps and no straps, silk, chiffon, and [Chuckles] Chelsea: So you are overwhelmed. Victoria: [Chuckles] Yes. Chelsea: Okay, then why don't we put this on hold? Victoria: How? I-I can't get married without a dress! [Sighs] What? Chelsea: Well, it's just so unlike you. I mean, you're -- you're indecisive, you're misplacing your ring. Victoria: I didn't misplace it. It's too big. It fell off. Chelsea: Are you sure you're ready to marry Travis? Victoria: Yes, of course I'm sure! I wouldn't have said yes if I wasn't, okay? Chelsea: Okay! Victoria: Okay! [Sighs] Okay. [Sighs] It's not okay. It's not okay. There is something holding me back. Chelsea: And it's not just the kids or the fact that you've been married before? Victoria: I'm pretty sure you've already heard this, but Travis had an affair with his ex-boss's wife. Chelsea: That's why he lost his job back in the day. Victoria: And she came here. Chelsea: The ex? To Genoa city? When? Victoria: Pre-proposal. And it's not that I care that she came, but it's that he didn't tell me in the first place. Chelsea: Well, you must have gotten past that if you agreed to marry him. Victoria: I guess so. But it just seems like we're always doing that. We're just always getting past things, and I... [Sighs] I have to wonder when the other shoe is gonna drop. [Bottles clink] Billy: Cheers to cutting ties with victor. At least the professional ones. Mother, would you like one? Jill: Uh, no, this is an office, not a bar. Billy: Well, it's also not a bedroom, but that didn't stop you and Colin, did it? Travis: Okay, let's get back to celebrating my resignation, yeah? Billy: Which is the best thing this man has ever done. Travis: Aside from proposing to Victoria. Billy: Touché. Travis: Not only is she beautiful, kind, and smart. The way she -- she balances motherhood and work. Jill: She's also not infallible. Billy: What she means is -- Travis: I know what she means. You think Billy and Victoria belong together. And I admire your loyalty. But I intend to prove myself to everyone by being a steady part of Victoria's life at home and at work. Jill: What's that again? Travis: You're missing a big piece of the puzzle with cane out. Jill: Cane's not out. He's temporarily working from home. Travis: Minimally. I'd like to offer my expertise. Jill: [Scoffs] Billy: You want to work here, Travis? Does Victoria know that? Travis: It's why I stopped by. Jill: I'll tell you what. You call my assistant and we'll set up an interview. Travis: I'll do that. Jill: Hmm. Travis: In the meantime, I'd like to be the one to tell Victoria. Billy: As you should be. Travis: Great. Thanks for the beer. Billy: Travis. There's nothing more important to Victoria than honesty. Travis: I've learned my lesson, Billy. Billy: I hope you have. Jill: I knew it. I knew it. He's lying to Victoria. That's what your cryptic warning was all about, wasn't it? Billy: Well, I trust Victoria to figure it out for herself. Jill: How can you be so sure she will? Billy: Because she's had a lot of practice with me. Victoria: Okay. Sorry that took so long. Jill: Did you find the perfect gown? Victoria: I'm not sure there is such a thing. Jill: [Chuckles] Well, I'll take that as a no. Victoria: Well, maybe I'm just too picky. Billy: You're discerning. Don't commit to anything until you find the one that speaks to you. Jill: Or screams at you to run while you can. Victoria: Thank you so much, Jill. So what's going on here? Did we sign off on the design for the new prototype? Billy: Not yet. Still going over some of the ideas. Jill: Maybe Travis will have some ideas. Victoria: Travis? Billy: Damn it, mom. I gave my word I wasn't gonna say anything. Jill: Yeah, darling. But I didn't. Victoria: Billy, what is this about Travis? Billy: You know what? [Sighs] You're gonna have to talk to him about this. Victoria: No, I'm talking to you, okay? You're the one who's all about honesty these days, so what do you know that I don't? Victor: Thank you for making the time. Leslie: Of course. Victor: Now, I'd appreciate it if you use your discretion and your legal expertise to make sure we don't go to court, nor that we feed the veracious appetite of gossip mongers. Nick: Yeah, you don't have to tell us. It definitely gets ugly. Leslie: Just be prepared. Victor: Thank you, Leslie. Leslie: Thank you. Nick: You look surprised. Victor: Yeah, I suppose I am. You decided not to press charges against Sharon. In fact, you invited her to Christian's birthday party. Nick: I tried to do the right thing. But when Dylan didn't accept the inevitable and he declared war, I had no choice but to fight back. Victor: You know who that sounds like? Nick: Hmm. Jack Abbott? Victor: Yeah, right. Nick: You know, dad, I didn't always understand you. I felt like you used family as an excuse, a justification to get what you wanted. But now that I've been given this second chance to raise my son, maybe you got it right more than you got it wrong. Victor: That means a lot to me, son. Just know that family is the only thing worthwhile fighting for. Dylan: Thank you for stopping by and giving me your advice. Michael: Even though you refuse to take it. Look, I respect your opinion. Even more than that, I admire you for it. It's just not gonna make my job any easier. Dylan: Yeah, I understand. All I can ask is that you give it your best shot. Michael: Yeah, I can do that. Dylan: And who knows? Maybe somebody will talk some sense into nick, somebody he trusts, and help him see that Christian needs more love in his life, not less. Michael: Amen to that. Dylan: Thanks. Sharon: [Sighs] You know, nothing could have made me happier. Chloe: Okay, well, not to kick you out, but I got to kick you out. You've been here long enough already. Sharon: Okay, yeah, I have my things. I'll just, uh -- [Door lock clicks] Sharon: [Gasps] Chloe: Hey! Chelsea: Hi. Chloe: Um, how did the fitting go with Victoria? Did she find what she wanted? Chelsea: Uh, I'm not really sure Victoria knows what she wants. Chloe: [Chuckles] Oh, she's one of those. Chelsea: Yeah. Um, how was today? How's Christian? Chloe: Oh, my gosh, he is just so great. Come and look at him. He is just too cute. He slept like a charm, didn't you? We were playing Pattycake. Aren't we? Pattycake, Pattycake, baker's man bake me a cake as fast as you can Chelsea: What was that? Chloe: What was what? Chelsea: Somebody just left. Chloe: No, I just -- I think you just heard the clapping. Clapping Chelsea: Chloe? Don't lie to me. Somebody just left. Somebody was here. Chloe: [Sighs] Christian had a visitor, but don't worry. She didn't stay long. Chelsea: She who? Chloe: Sharon. Victor: If it isn't Michael Baldwin. Michael: Victor, good to see you. Victor: Hello, old boy. Michael: How are you? Victor: Care to join me for lunch? Michael: Oh, I'll have to take a rain check. I'm meeting Lauren. Victor: Well, that's nice. Um, piece of advice. Michael: Hmm. Oh, okay. I'd love to hear it. Victor: Stop defending lost causes. Michael: Hmm. Not all my causes are lost. You asked me to threaten Devon. I believe I came up with the proper result, yeah? Victor: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You did. You did, indeed. And I will not forget that. And I do appreciate the fact that you and I are beginning to trust one another again. Michael: Feeling's mutual. Victor: So let me warn you. Michael: Hmm. From friendly advice to outright warnings. Now we're talking. Victor: You know something? Defending Sharon and Dylan is a lost cause. That boy Christian will not be taken away from Nicholas. I will not allow that to happen. Dylan: Everything okay at work? Sharon: A minor crisis, but, um, Chloe is gonna take care of it, so... I'm sorry I had to go. What did I miss while Michael was here? Dylan: Uh, nothing. We're all on the same page. Sharon: Does he think we have a shot? Dylan: It's not gonna be easy. But we're gonna fight to keep that little boy in our lives. And you know what? We're gonna win. Chloe: Unfortunately, it gets worse. Chelsea: How could it be worse than you allowing Sharon to see Christian? Chloe: I didn't just allow her. I-I invited her. Chelsea: What?! Chloe: And I'd do it again. Chelsea: Okay, um, you have been watching the news, right? Like, you understand what's happening right now? Sharon kept nick's son from him for months. It made him think that his son was dead. And now they are about to enter this massive legal battle. Chloe: Which is exactly why I want her to see him. What if it's the last time? Chelsea: That's not your call, Chloe! Chloe: Well, I know what Sharon did was wrong. Chelsea: Do you? Chloe: She is heartbroken over losing that child. I mean, just because I let her spend some time with him, you're gonna rip me a new one for that? Chelsea: Oh, you think that this is ripping you a new one? Chloe: I'm sorry. Chelsea: No, you're not sorry. You just said that you would do it again. Chloe: Okay, yeah, you're right. I'm not sorry about that. [Doorbell rings] Chelsea: [Sighs] Hey. Nick: Hey. Chelsea: Uh, how did it go with Leslie? Nick: Uh, about as well as you can expect. Chelsea: Right. Nick: How is my boy? Hey, Chloe. Chloe: Hey. Chelsea: Uh, you know, he's, um, he's great. He's doing great. Nick: Hey. There he is. So he didn't cause you any trouble or anything? Chelsea: Nope. Couldn't have gone better. Victoria: Excuse me. What do I need to talk to Travis about? And what does it have to do with brash & sassy? Billy: It's not my news to break, Vick. Victoria: Oh, too bad. Billy: Travis left his job at Newman. Victoria: Oh. Billy: He wants to work here. And in his defense, he did come here to tell you, but you were still at your fitting. Victoria: So he told you and Jill instead? Why am I always hearing about these things second-hand? Billy: From what I gather, it just happened. Victoria: Like he wasn't thinking about it last night or this morning? He obviously had a chance to discuss it with me, but he decided not to. Billy: Vick, I don't think it's that big of a deal. Victoria: Chelsea wonders why it's hard for me to pick a wedding dress. There's always something that he's not telling me. There's more, isn't there? I know there's more. It's not just the job. Billy, please tell me. Billy: Like I said, you need to talk to Travis about it. It's not my ring you're wearing. Can we get back to work, please? [NEXT_ON] Dylan: Sharon never acted out of malice, and I'm hoping that you can forgive her so we can do what's best for this little boy. Jill: Don't you dare let Victoria walk down that aisle without telling her. Billy: I can't keep quiet about this anymore, Vick.
