Neil and Phyllis have a knock down drag out. "I have this great kid that we have been raising and now she is getting involved with this kid who didn't have a good upbringing." Phyllis gets it. He thinks that Lily is too good for her son. Neil has no idea why he thought that he could reason with Phyllis. "No wonder he is the way that he is. He is like you," Neil says. "No one finds Daniel to be causing trouble but you. This is all because you can handle your daughter growing up. Why don't you get over yourself," Phyllis spits! Victoria isn't ready to let Brad go from the company, or in fact from her life. He says that he will only stay if she takes him back in the office as well as in her heart. "I can't work her if you don't want me all the way Victoria." She gives in. They get back together, but she doesn't want to be engaged this time and isn't sure if and when she will be ready to be engaged. He will accept that for now. "Don't push Brad," she cautions. Gloria is mad as hell and isn't going to take it anymore. Michael gives her some advice. "You have to work on making allies as a minority shareholder. Make bridges, don't burn them." Gloria returns to the boardroom to talk to Katherine, asking for another chance. Katherine says that Gloria is outspoken and that can be deadly in their business. "I promise to behave and if I don't, I will leave Jabot forever!" Katherine decides then to take a chance on the old girl. "Don't you let me down Gloria!" Lily is getting shipped off to New Hampshire. She argues with her mother one last time but it will not work. Drucilla can't make Neil do this her way this time. "Get packing! I have to go pick up your dress from the cleaners." When she returns, Lily has disappeared. Lily goes to the coffeehouse and finds Daniel. "I left home. I can't stay there anymore. Help me with my suitcase. I have to find a place to say. Will you help me Daniel?" Nikki comes into the office as JT is finished visiting with Victoria. "Well Hello JT," she says. He smiles and leaves. "Well Victoria! I was wondering when you were going to tell me that you were entertaining boy toys at your house," Nikki says. Victoria turns on her mother. "Does everyone in town know that I slept with JT?" Brad is about to walk in the office but stops dead in his tracks instead. Nikki's eyes get large due to her daughter's words.
Gloria: I'm just hoping to get a little bit of sympathy, Michael. Michael: I'm surprised you even wanna be involved with Jabot. Gloria: John gave me his proxy. It's my duty to be involved. Michael: You know absolutely nothing about the cosmetics industry. Gloria: And that's supposed to stop me? Michael: Why strain yourself? I mean, if I were you, I would take up bridge. I would make new friends, travel, live the good life. You finally have this opportunity to become a lady of leisure. Gloria: Michael, don't you understand? John is gone. He wants me to be his eyes and his ears. I think I owe that much to the man who's given me so much. Michael: Mm-hmm. You've obviously made up your mind. Gloria: Yes, I have. There's just one little problem. Michael: Which is? Gloria: John's spoiled, selfish children. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: You really expect us to involve Gloria in Jabot business? Kay: That is not what I said, Jack. Jack: Then, please, clear it up. Kay: I told you to make her feel-- feel a part of things. Big difference. Jack: So then, humor her? Ashley: It's the best way to get Gloria off our backs. Don't you see that? Kay: Exactly, exactly. Just pacify her. Make her feel important. Now the two of you are clever enough to do that. Jack: Only one problem. Gloria has the survival instincts of a feral cat. She's not gonna be easily fooled. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: Get away from me. Kevin: Sure. Just as soon as you admit it. Colleen: And what is it that I'm supposed to be admitting, Kevin? Kevin: I know you and J.T. slept together. Colleen: Oh, is that what you think? Kevin: Yeah. Are you denying it? Colleen: I don't think that you would believe me if I did. Kevin: I'd think you'd be happy to confess. That way Mac can see what a lying jerk J.T. is and dump the guy. Colleen: And what makes you makes you think that I care if those two break up? Kevin: I'm not stupid, Colleen. I know you want him back. Colleen: Kevin, what I want is none of your business. And by the way, you're not fooling anyone. Kevin: What's that supposed to mean? Colleen: You don't care what I want, okay? All you want is J.T. to be out of the picture so that you can sweep in and tell Mac what kind of a guy she really needs in her life-- you. Kevin: So? What's wrong with that? [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: I don't understand what you mean, J.T. J.T.: Mac, are you sure you wanna get into this right now? Mac: Yes. I've been sitting here worried that you might've spent the night with Colleen. J.T.: And I told you I didn't. Mac: Okay, but why am I not supposed to be relieved by that? You're starting to scare me. What's going on? J.T.: Yeah, um, I don't really know where to start. Mac: Why don't you start by telling me where you were last night? J.T.: You don't wanna know. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: I think it's all been said, Victoria. Victoria: Not quite. Your resignation. Brad: What about it? Victoria: You wanna tear this up, or shall I? Brad: I'm not backing down. Victoria: I didn't ask you to. Brad: Are you saying you want me back? In every sense of the word? [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: Hi. Nick: Did you find 'em? Nikki: Yeah, well, it wasn't difficult. I keep all the albums together. "Nicholas and Sharon-- the early years." Is that what you're looking for? Nick: Yeah, thanks, Mom. Nikki: Sure. You know, I'm curious. What do you-- what do you wanna do? Are you gonna make a collage as a gift for Sharon? Nick: Uh, no, actually, these aren't for Sharon. They're for me. Nikki: You're looking for something special? Nick: Yeah. Something I don't wanna lose. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: Phyllis, Nikki asked me to drop these by. Phyllis: Oh, thanks. Nikki has you doing errands for her? Sharon: Yeah, well, I don't mind. She's certainly done me plenty of favors over the years. And, you know, she's my mother-in-law. It pays to keep her on my side. What? Phyllis: Nothing. I mean, I was just admiring your glow. Is it one of our products? Sharon: Oh! No, it's, uh... it's called "Nicholas Newman." Phyllis: I beg your pardon? Sharon: My terrific husband never ceases to amaze me. You know, I don't know how or when it happened, but all of a sudden the man I married is back! Phyllis: Great. Good. Good. Sharon: And he's so attentive. I mean, it's like... it's like we're newlyweds. Phyllis: Wow, that good, huh? Sharon: Yeah. And, you know, I prayed this day would happen. Because I just hoped that every day wouldn't continue to be affected by the loss of our daughter, you know? Phyllis: Right. I can't even imagine what the two of you had to go through. Sharon: Well, that's why this is just so wonderful to watch. Phyllis: Right. Sharon: You know, he's just coming back to life again. And it's like he suddenly realized how much I mean to him. Phyllis: That's great. Neil: Hey, sorry to interrupt, ladies. But, Phyllis, I need to talk to you for a minute. I think it's time that you did something about that son of yours. Phyllis: What are you talking about? Neil: Despite all my efforts to put a stop to it, your son is defiant and disrespectful and continues to undermine my family. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Mom, how could you do this to me? Haven't you ever been in love? Dru: Of course. Of course I've been in love. But, baby, you're too young and naive to be in love with any boy right now. Lily: I'm too young? I'm almost 18. God, Mom, don't you know what the girls my age are doing? Having babies? Getting married? Dru: I don't care about the other girls. You're my child. Is that what you want right now? To have a baby? Lily: No. Of course not. I'm just saying-- Dru: I'm just saying, okay, that your father is hell-bent on sending you back to New Hampshire to boarding school. Lily: My father wouldn't have this much power over me if he knew he wasn't my father. Dru: I can't believe you just said that. Do you understand how hurtful that would be, if you were to tell him? I am begging you. Do not tell him this. Now we don't have any other choice. Go pack your bags. Lily, it's the only way. Go pack your bags. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: I never wanted you gone, Brad. Brad: It sure seemed that way to me. Victoria: Well, we just went so fast. And I got nervous. Brad: Victoria, you broke up with me. It sounds like more than nerves. Victoria: Okay, well, I'll admit I was confused. And from the moment I gave you the ring back, I've been fighting my feelings for you. Brad: At least you admit you still have feelings. Victoria: They just won't go away. Brad: So are you saying... Victoria: Yes. Yes, I would like to give us another try. Brad: Only no engagement? Victoria: Not for now. Brad: I think I can live with that. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: Are you saying what I think you're saying? J.T.: Mac, it was just something that-- Mac: Okay, stop. No, I get it. You slept with someone else. I don't need all the details. J.T.: I wasn't gonna tell you the details. Mac: Then don't. J.T.: I didn't do this to hurt you. Mac: Yeah, no, no, no, of course, I totally get that. I mean, we live together. And you had sex with someone else. And, obviously, don't worry, I know you didn't mean to hurt me. J.T.: Mac, if I could take it back, I would. I would take it back in a heartbeat. Mac: I was just wondering, um, how long would I have to wait before this happens again? Is it just the next time that something upsets you? J.T.: Something? Something? Is that all it is to you, Mac? We're talking about our baby. But the minute-- the minute you started to lose it, you turned to someone else. Instead of turning to the father-- the guy that you live with-- the guy that you're supposedly in love with-- you turned to Kevin! Mac: I am sorry that I went to Kevin before I went to you! But if you are trying to say that what I did and what you did are the same-- J.T.: No, I'm not! That's... that's not what I'm saying. Mac: Look, I don't want this to get ugly, okay? Obviously, living together meant something different to you than it did for me. Let's just leave it at that. J.T.: All right. If that's the way you want it. J.T.: I don't know what else to say. Mac: There's nothing to say. J.T.: You want me to leave? J.T.: Mac... I care about you. Mac: Okay, you know what? Maybe you should go. J.T.: All right. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: So you really think that if J.T. was out of the picture, you might actually have a chance with Mac? Kevin: Yeah. Colleen: Weirder things have happened, I suppose. Kevin: Look, Colleen, just 'cause you hate me doesn't mean Mac does. Colleen: Hey, you know what? If she wants to be with you, it's Mac's funeral, not mine. Kevin: Good. So you're willing to admit you slept with J.T.? Colleen: I can't. Kevin: Why not? Colleen: Because we didn't. Kevin: He really wasn't with you? Colleen: Nope. Kevin: I was so sure he was. Colleen: Why am I even talking to you--? Kevin: Wait, wait, hold on, hold on. Colleen: What? Kevin: So--so what? You think they're patching things up? Colleen: They're probably having make up sex right now. Kevin: Okay, wait, so if J.T. really was out playing cards or crashing at a friend's, she's totally gonna forgive him. Colleen: You live with those two. Tell me something. Kevin: What? Colleen: Um... how serious is J.T. about Mackenzie? Kevin: I used to think not very. But more and more it's looking like he's pretty devoted to her. Colleen: Great. Daniel: Hey, guys. Kevin: Hey. Colleen: Hey. Kevin: You don't look too happy. Daniel: Yeah, I'm not. Colleen: What's wrong? Daniel: I think Lily's parents are gonna send her back to New Hampshire and there's not a damn thing that I can do about it. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Where's my blue dress? Dru: It's at the dry cleaners. Lily: I need it, not that anybody cares. Dru: Stop talking like that. You know we care about you, baby. Lily: You know what? It doesn't matter what you wear at that prison for a school. Dru: Hey, wait a minute! Let me tell you something right here and now, I understand what you're going through. Lily: You might. But Dad is being so unreasonable. I think he likes to see me miserable. Dru: No, no, he wanted all of us to be under one roof these few short months that we have left before you go to college. But your lies got you busted. Lily: My lies? Please! You don't even know the meaning of the words. Dru: Oh, okay. All right, you know what? I'm gonna leave right now before I do something that I'm gonna regret. I'm gonna go pick up your dress at the cleaners! Lily: Don't do me any favors, Mom. Dru: (Groans) [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: Um, that's my cue to leave. Neil: Are you aware that Daniel and Lily have been seeing each other again? Phyllis: Yes, I am. Neil: Of course you are. Phyllis: I just found out. Neil: What, you couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone, call me? We work in the same building. You couldn't tell me? Phyllis: Neil, I didn't do it because I knew this would happen. Neil: What kind of parent are you, huh? Phyllis: Excuse me? Neil: You really have no control over your own son, do you? You let him do whatever the hell he wants. No matter who he hurts. Phyllis: He's not hurting anyone. Neil: Well, I am here to testify to you today that he's hurting me and my family very-- I am forced to send Lily to boarding school because of Daniel. Phyllis: No one's forcing you to do anything. Neil: It's the only way I can keep those two kids apart. Phyllis: Why do you wanna keep 'em apart? Lily is a lovely young lady. Daniel's bright and personable. The only one who has a problem with this is you. Neil: You wanna explain what my problem is, Phyllis? Phyllis: Yeah, I do, I do. I will. You can't accept that your daughter is no longer a child. Get over yourself. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Bright, young executives like yourselves can handle a Gloria Abbott. Jack: But why should we have to? Kay: Need I remind you, Gloria's involvement is your father's wish. Jack: Oh, Katherine, my father gave Gloria his proxy because he knew he was headed to prison. He was feeling sentimental. Kay: And because he knew how you felt about her, Jack. Jack: Maybe so. But I'm sure he never imagined her wielding decision-making power. Ashley: He's not a stupid man, you know that. Kay: I couldn't agree with you more. The fact remains, we have to make the woman feel as though she has a seat in the cockpit. Ashley: Yeah, you're right. Without letting her push any buttons or pull any levers. Kay: Precisely. Jack: Just the way I wanna spend my time-- feeding stepmommy's overblown ego. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: And that's another thing. Do you really wanna butt heads with Ashley and Jack on a regular basis? Gloria: I don't see what choice I have. Michael: It's simple. You let them do the heavy lifting at Jabot. You focus on what you do best-- spend money. Gloria: A person can only do so much shopping. You know, Ashley may be a top- notch chemist, but I don't think she or Jack are managing that company worth a hill of beans. Michael: I hardly think they're gonna run their own family business into the ground. Gloria: Honey, don't you be so sure. Without John there to keep 'em reined in-- Michael: All right, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. If you're gonna run with the big dogs, you're gonna need my help. Because all you've managed to do so far is to alienate everybody involved. Gloria: I'm listening. Michael: When you are a minority shareholder, you have to create relationships. You have to build coalitions. You have to see consensus among like-minded colleagues. It's all about alliances. But above all, do not burn your bridges. Today's enemies... they may be tomorrow's allies. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: Neil, I realize its difficult letting go. But you know those kids are gonna be 18 soon. We have to trust them sooner or later. Neil: Trust 'em? Really? Um, call me crazy, but I kinda find it hard to trust liars. Phyllis: Are you calling my son a liar? Neil: Take it how you want, Phyllis. Let me explain something to you. Okay, Drucilla and I-- we have spent years raising a child who has a reasonable chance of healthy choices, finding happiness in her life. Phyllis: Yeah, I know. Good for you. Neil: And now she's about to become an adult. And she's all hung up on a kid who, uh, he should've had a different kind of upbringing in his life, but he didn't. Phyllis: Oh, okay, wow! You know what? I understand that sometimes you wanna blame somebody else when your child wants to live a kind of life that you don't want 'em to. I get that. But you know what? Welcome to the real world. Our kids don't always turn out the way we want them to. Neil: Phyllis, you're blind. Even a bat could see why I'm concerned here. Phyllis: Yeah, I get it. You think that your daughter is too good for my son. But you know what? Nobody asked you. No one asked you, Neil. So get off of your high horse and stop trying to run everybody else's life. Neil: Okay, all right, cool. Personally, I'm offended that you would even say these things to me. And now I see why your son's out of control. It's because of you. Phyllis: Wait, excuse me? Okay, I understand this. You don't like me. You don't like my son. But your daughter loves him. Deal with it. You want me to change that? I can't. And neither can you. And frankly, right now, you're wasting my time. Neil: No, you wasted mine. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: Something you don't wanna lose? Nick: I'm just... trying to reconnect with my life, if that makes sense. Mom, don't look at me like that. It's not a bad thing. Nikki: So you and Sharon... Nick: Hey, we've been married for ten years. Nikki: I know, honey. And you've been through some terrible, tragic times. Nick: Yeah, but we've had some amazing ones, too. Ten years of memories. Nikki: You two have something very special. Nick: I know. You don't have to remind me of that. Nikki: Good. All right, I will leave you to your pictures. I'm off to Newman. Nick: Thanks again, Mom. Nikki: All right, honey, see you later. [SCENE_BREAK] Brad: So what would you like me to do with the engagement ring? Victoria: Well, maybe you oughta trade it in on a sports car. Brad: Oh, not a chance. I have plans for that rock. Victoria: Well, then just put it someplace safe. Brad: Until you've decided that we've waited long enough? Victoria: Oh, please, don't push, okay? Brad: So your answer is... Victoria: Time will tell. Let's just have fun, okay? Let's have fun and concentrate on us. Brad: You're right. Marriage is too serious, isn't it? Victoria: Now you're getting with the program. Brad: So how about a date tonight? Victoria: I suppose that could be arranged. Brad: Where do you wanna go? Victoria: Why don't you surprise me? [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Yeah, well, I will try and look at them this weekend. Gloria: Katherine? I'm sorry to interrupt. Kay: Oh, Gloria, you're back. Gloria: I just wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. Kay: Well, it's already forgotten. Gloria: No, no, no. I think I owe you an explanation. Kay: No, none necessary. Gloria: Please. You know how much I love John. And I was acting the way I thought he'd want me to. Kay: Well, you were just trying to protect his interests in the company he founded. Gloria: Yeah, and I realize now I went about it the wrong way. So I hope you'll forgive me. Because the last thing I wanna be is a problem. Kay: Apology accepted. Gloria: I wanna show you that I can keep my mouth shut and just listen. So I'm hoping that maybe you'll give me another chance. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: My beautiful wife... so many happy memories. I should feel like the luckiest guy in the world. So why don't I? How come I can't stop thinking about Phyllis? [SCENE_BREAK] J.T.: Mind if I come in? Victoria: Uh-oh. Someone's having a bad day. You look like you lost your best friend. J.T.: I did. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: You know, Gloria, I have to wonder if you have the ability to learn and to listen. You see, a more trained person with your brashness-- well, it might be an asset. But in the hands of a-- of a person with less knowledge or experience... it can only be destructive. Gloria: I'll tell you what. I'll make a deal with you. Kay: Let's hear it. Gloria: If I'm a problem, if I'm a loose cannon, as you call it. You just say the word, and I will back away from Jabot and take up golf. Kay: (Chuckles) all right. Gloria: You mean it? Kay: Yes, I will see to it that you're included at Jabot as much as possible. Now you have to give me your word-- no more shenanigans, none whatsoever. Gloria: Cross my heart, hope to die. Kay: Now I mean it, Gloria. I mean it. Don't you disappoint me. Gloria: No, ma'am. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Fisher sure left here in a hurry. Colleen: Good riddance. Um, are you serious about the winters trying to send Lily back to boarding school? Daniel: Oh, yeah. She told them we're seeing each other again. Colleen: Oh, boy. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Colleen: I wish I could help. Daniel: Well, I guess you know what that's like, though. Colleen: To break up with someone that you're madly in love with? Yeah, it's a killer. Daniel: You and Hellstrom-- Colleen: Look, I thought I was over him, okay? But then Granddad got in trouble. I came back to Genoa City. And the moment that I saw him, I wanted him all over again. Daniel: Only by that time it was too late. Colleen: We could still move to New York, though. Daniel: No, you know what? I think I'm gonna stick close by my mom for now. Are you really gonna go back there again? Colleen: Might as well. I don't know how much more of this I can take-- watching J.T. skip around with his new girlfriend. Daniel: Yeah. I still can't believe it. Colleen: Mac and J.T.? Daniel: Mnh-mnh. Lily's parents. You know, I don't know why the hell they just can't live her own life, you know? Why do they have to be so stubborn? [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Lily, I'm home. Baby? Lily? Come on, girl. Lily? Lily? Oh, my God. She's not here. [SCENE_BREAK] Victoria: So I gather things didn't go well with Mackenzie. J.T.: Mac and I broke up. Victoria: Oh, I'm sorry. J.T.: Yeah, me, too. Victoria: You didn't tell her about us? J.T.: No, no. But she knows I was with someone so... Victoria: Any chance she might forgive you? J.T.: I doubt it. But, hey, you know, if I'm sleeping with other women, obviously that says something about where my head is. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure you're doing all right. Victoria: Oh, yeah, yeah. Actually, I'm more than all right. It just might be possible that I'm putting my life back together. J.T.: At least one of us is. Really, Victoria, that's... that's great. Victoria: Yeah, I think so. J.T.: All right, well, take care. Victoria: You take care. Nikki: Well, hello, J.T. J.T.: Hi. Nikki: Um, I hope you're not leaving on my account. Victoria: No, he's not. Bye, J.T. Nikki: Bye. Victoria Newman, you have been holding out on me. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Thank you. Ash, you got a minute? Ashley: Sure. Hey, what's up? Michael: Uh, I spoke with Gloria earlier. Ashley: Oh, so she probably told you about that meeting we had. Michael: Uh-huh. She wasn't very happy with the way she was treated. Ashley: Yeah, Michael, your mother has every opportunity to be treated with respect where my father's proxy is concerned. Michael: Apparently, that wasn't the impression she got. Ashley: Well, she'll receive all pertinent correspondence and memos. She'll be invited to meetings. You know, heck, we're gonna even print up business cards and stationary for her. I mean, she is our father's wife. No one wants to be harsh with her. Michael: No one? Does that include Jack? Ashley: Look, if Gloria causes trouble, Jack's not gonna be the only one that comes down on her. Everyone will. And it's not like we take pleasure in it, okay? Michael: Your brother will. Ashley: Let's just keep it simple, okay? We're trying to run a business. How's that? [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: Phyllis, stop it! Ugh. He's married! He's married, married, married. It would've never worked... ever. God, why do I always do this? Why do I always go after something that I know I can't get? Jack: Hey. Phyllis: Hey. Jack: That's the first sign, you know? Phyllis: The first sign of what? Jack: Well, I don't know. Maybe you're losing it? Phyllis: Oh, yeah, I'm definitely losing it. I'm definitely doing that. Jack: Well, maybe what you need is old dr. Jack to provide you the right therapy. Are those the pictures? Phyllis: What pictures? Jack: The ones I heard you talking to yourself. Phyllis: Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I wasn't doing that. Jack: Look at that. Phyllis: What? Jack: All these pictures of Lauren Fenmore's wedding. You look so beautiful. There's not a single picture of you and me together. I know, I know. It's my own damn fault. I was a jerk to you that night. How could you have known, all I wanted was to be with you. [SCENE_BREAK] Sharon: What are you looking at? Nick: Just some old photos. Sharon: It's an incredible love story, isn't it? Sharon: You and me. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: J.T.? J.T.: Hey. What are you doing? Colleen: Checking flights to New York. J.T.: Why? Colleen: I'm heading back to finish school. J.T.: I thought you were sticking around here. Colleen: I changed my mind. J.T.: Oh. Colleen: Don't go falling apart on me. J.T.: Sorry, I'm a little out of it today. Colleen: How come? J.T.: Mac and I split up. [SCENE_BREAK] Mac: I really screwed up, didn't it? Kevin: No, not you. J.T. Mac: But I feel like I pushed him into it. I mean, if I'd been more upfront with him from the beginning... Kevin: Mac, like I said before, what happened between you two-- it's not your fault. Mac: I don't know. I could've handled it better, Kevin. It's not like he cheated on me for no reason. Kevin: No, Mac, no. There is no excuse for what he did to you. Mac: If I had told him about the baby... Kevin: Look, why don't you just try and forget about him, okay? You're a beautiful, wonderful, special woman. There are a million guys who would be lucky to have you. Mac: You're sweet. Kevin: I hate seeing you all torn up like this. Mac: You know, you're a pretty great person yourself. Kevin: You know that I'm always gonna be here for you, right? Mac: I know. The one guy I can count on. Kevin: So then you don't mind if I say something? Okay, well, things are different now, right? So something has to change. Either J.T. moves out of the loft or we do. [SCENE_BREAK] Dru: Gina, is Lily over there? What about the gym? No, I tried her on her cell, just voice mail. Yeah, I already called the coffeehouse, nothing. All right, thanks, bye. Neil: Hey. Dru: Hey. Neil: Where's Lily? Has she finished packing? [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: Daniel? Daniel: Hey! Hey! Baby, what's this? Lily: My suitcase. I left home. Daniel: Okay, you what? Lily: I can't live there anymore, Daniel. Daniel: Well, what are you gonna do? Lily: I don't know. I don't know. I need someplace to stay. Will you help me? [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Hey, you know what I think? Phyllis: No, what do you think? Jack: I think we oughta make up for lost time. Phyllis: Okay. Jack: Let's do something tonight, you and me. Phyllis: Oh, um, gosh, I don't--I don't-- Jack: Oh, come on, live a little. Remember what a good time we had last time? When you spent the night? Phyllis: Mm-hmm, I do. But... Jack: What is it? Wow, you really seem out of it. Phyllis: I'm a little out of it. Jack: So let me help. Let me kiss all your troubles away. Phyllis: Hey, you know, I'll get back to you on going out, okay? Jack: Okay, you do that. Phyllis: All right. Jack: I gotta warn you, though. Phyllis: Yeah? Jack: If I don't hear from you by sunset, I'm gonna hunt you down. How about that? She smiles. Phyllis: You make me smile. Jack: Later. [SCENE_BREAK] Nikki: I'm just a little surprised. Victoria: And why is that? Nikki: Well, honey, I thought you would be a little more discreet when you have your boy toys at your place of business. Victoria: Is there anyone in this town who doesn't know I've slept with J.T.? [NEXT_ON] Dru: Where's my daughter? Daniel: She's safe and that's all you need to know. J.T.: I'm still the same old J.T. Colleen: I kinda like the old J.T. Nikki: Perhaps your best strategy for Jack would be to circumvent him.
