Glo gloats around Genoa City about the stocks Kay left her in her will. Jack finally break Ashley down and obtains her Jabot proxy. Kevin buys Jana and scooter and Amber is suspicious where he got the money from. Neil and Karen announce their engagement to the family and Tyra seems a little less than pleased. Lily has set up another meeting with Sonny, but Cane shows up and she tells him it's time to move on and confesses to Billy (Sonny) she no longer wants to love Cane; who spies them hugging. Michael fights to get River (Lowell) off.
Neil: Thanks, Babe. Devon: All right, you've been building this up quite a bit, Dad. It better be huge. Lily: Oh, it is. Devon: It is? Lily: Uh-huh. Devon: She knows? Neil: You're really, really good at this secret thing. Lily: I'm sorry. Roxanne: This is so exciting. Devon: Yeah. Karen: Well, we think it is, too. Neil: There's been a lot of sadness with Mrs. Chancellor's passing, hasn't there been? Karen: Yes. But life can move forward, better and stronger if we're doing it right. (Knock on door) Neil: Come in. Karen: So your dad and I-- Tyra: Hey. Karen: Hi. Neil: Hey, you two. Hi, come on in. Karen: Come on in. Tyra: Look, you guys, I just came by to check some Indigo business, but if this is a bad time, we can come back, you know, later. Karen: No, no, no, no, no, this is a perfect time, actually. Neil: We were just about to make an announcement, weren't we? Karen: Yes, we were. Ana: Fancy. Karen: Neil and I are engaged. Devon: Get outta here! Really?! Lily: I told you! Isn't it exciting?! [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Ashley's is the only proxy I'm still waiting on. No, I need it to make Jabot mine. Ben, that's why I pay you a retainer. You're to keep my hands clean legally, and I'll take care of the rest. Uh, let me get back to you, okay? Perfect. Hey, conference call over with? Ashley: Oh, work never stops. It's just ridiculous. Jack: Think maybe you could pencil me in for a little discussion about a Jabot takeover? Ashley: We've barely started grieving Katherine. Jack: She was a great lady and we will all miss her. But we should never have lost Jabot, and now is the time to take it back. Ashley: Nothing's changed, Jackie. Unless you tell me who your secret partner is, I'm not gonna give you my proxy. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Does this outfit just scream "C.E.O. of Jabot"? Jeff: Uh... overconfidence is, um, dangerous, Cupcake. Katherine left you the stock, but until Jack has the proxies, it's all just pretty fantasy. Gloria: Jack wants this as much as I do, so it's going to happen. Jeff: (Laughs) The Bardwells and Abbotts working together. On that note, I need a shower. Gloria: (Laughs) Yeah. Hmm. (Knock on door) Gloria: It's open. Michael: Hey! Gloria: Oh, Michael, just in time! Do you think this is too much? Michael: Uh, gorgeous, beautiful. Gloria: Thank you, thank you. Michael: Now as you know, I am about to walk into a meeting between Lowell and a federal prosecutor. There's a very good chance that we could have his charges dropped or at least reduced once you recant your testimony. Now read this, sign. Gloria: You know, I really have to consider my public image right now. Michael: What public image? Gloria: I admire your loyalty to your father, Michael. I do. Michael: You're not going to recant? Gloria: No. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Hey, hey, Mrs. C., you forgot your bag! Mrs. C.! You-- Jana: All right, okay, I'm off to buy some more supplies before I hit rush hour. Kevin: Mm-hmm. Jana: Oh, and I thought that maybe we could cook something special tonight since it is our 3-month anniversary. Kevin: Oh. It was supposed to be a gift every month for the first year. I blew it. Jana: Aw. No. That's all very romantic, but Mrs. Chancellor's death-- Kevin: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Death does not trump romance. So tell me what you want so I can make it up to you. Jana: Dinner with you. Honestly, that is what I want. Oh, God, and a bloody scooter so I can weave in and out of traffic, otherwise I might miss dinner altogether. Okay, see you. Kevin: See you. What's up? You look weird. Amber: They just read Mrs. Chancellor's will. Kevin: You were there? Daniel: Oh, yeah, we were there. And Katherine was extremely generous, left Amber a trust and the sole rights to her memoirs. Amber: Yeah, I'm gonna get it published. And then everyone's gonna know what a generous, amazing wo-- Kevin: Like a-- like a "Trust" trust? With money in it? Daniel: Yeah, like a "Trust" trust with money in it. Apparently, she didn't want Amber to worry about finances. Kevin: Oh, my God. You're rich. That is so awesome! [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: It would be good if you could come to dinner tonight. Chloe: Yeah, you know, my mother won't stop shoving food at me, so you know that you won't be poisoned. And, well, family should be together. Billy: No offense, guys, but I've had about enough of the black suits and sad faces. I-I need to get out of here. I need to go see the land of the living. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Well! Hail the conquering heroes of Jabot! Jeff: She's decorating the C.E.O.'s office in her mind already. Jack: Try not to get too carried away, okay? You will have the title, yes, but let's not forget who will actually be in charge. Jeff: And let's not forget who has lots and lots of Jabot stock. Jack: Which will only bring you dividends without the Abbott family proxies. Gloria: And you have all of those, including Ashley's. So when do we start, Jack? Jack: Easy on the gas pedal. This is going to take some finesse, as well some legal considerations. Jeff: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know. You can't hold office at Jabot. It was all part of the settlement after that face cream death. Gloria: No reason to go into all that. Jeff: Well, it never hurts to remember how we all got here. Jack: I will be speaking with my attorney again shortly. Uh, thank you both. Uh, I'll talk to you later. Gloria: Oh! Isn't it glorious? Katherine left me 5% of her Jabot stock, which means your father's company is going to be right back where it belongs. In our hands, partner. Ashley: No way in hell. [SCENE_BREAK] Tyra: Congratulations, you two. Karen: Thank you. Neil: Yeah, I finally broke her down, didn't I? Devon: It's about time. Neil: Can I tell you people something? Katherine's death reminds all of us not to take life for granted. Lily? What are you smiling about? What are you doing on that thing? Devon: She met a new guy on an internet dating site. Neil: Oh, no you didn't. Devon: Mm-hmm. Lily: Listen, I know I have to be careful about meeting people online, okay? Roxanne: Weren't you supposed to meet up with that guy at the Halloween party? Lily: Uh, yes, but it didn't work out. Devon: So does he wanna try again? Neil: Like right now? Tyra: Hey, Lily, look, your dad just wants to make sure you're safe. Karen: Come on, guys, Lily knows the drill, right? You stay in a public place, keep a clear head. Lily: Yes, thank you. And he already suggested a very public used bookstore. Neil: Okay, I don't like the sound of any of this, but if you have to go and see him, do me a favor. Take this guy right here, your brother and Roxy to look out for you. Lily: What? No. Neil: Yes. You have to do this. Devon: That is a good idea. Roxanne: Devon's just gonna follow you anyway. Lily: No, come on! Please! No, I'm not taking him! Tyra: Hey, what would it hurt? You know, you find out there's something you don't like about the guy, look at your brother and you're out of there. Lily: No, you guys, this is your engagement and now it's about my maybe date. Karen: Well, maybe he'll be your date to the wedding. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: You know, so, um, we could still invite your mother over for dinner and my mom. I mean, I know that she is a wreck, still. (Cell phone ringing) Cane: Ashby. Oh, hey, Seaton, what's up? Mm-hmm. Chloe: (Sighs) Hello? Hello, there is a person here with another person inside of her. Why am I getting less attention when I should be getting all the attention? Billy: Hey, just, um, tell Cane that I had to go, okay? Chloe: Mm. (Laughs) Billy: Excuse me. Chloe: Ah, so you like that model? Hmm? Do ya? Do ya? Billy: Oh, my gosh. Chloe, you got the good guy, you got the huge home, you got the very large bun in the oven. Stop fantasizing about your brother-in- law. Weirdo. Chloe: Not like there's much to fantasize about. Cane: All right, bye. So where'd, uh, where'd Billy boy go? Chloe: Oh, he just went off to the land of the living. Cane: Well, I think that everybody deals with grief in their own way. Chloe: Yes. And I do mine by shopping. Which reminds me, I think that we should go over to one of those vintage bookstores and get some old classics for the baby. Cane: Somehow, Chloe, I'm not really, uh, picturing you reading "Little Red Riding Hood. Chloe: What? Are you kidding me? I would be shirking my motherly duty if I were not warning her about the big bad wolves. Cane: Well, let's go. [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: (Sighs) An amazing woman died for no reason and all Kevin can do is high five us? Daniel: Kevin cared about her, too. Amber: Really? Not enough to go to the funeral. Daniel: He had an emergency. The pipes broke. Amber: Yeah. That, and he wished her dead. Kevin: Yeah, I'm calling about that vehicle on the web. Is that price firm? Amber: He's buying a car now? What happened to him being so broke, huh? You can't ignore the signs, Daniel. Daniel: Say he does have this cash you are obsessing about. Amber: Which he does. Daniel: And say he was supposed to meet Mrs. Chancellor the night that she died. Amber: Which he was. Daniel: I don't see how the two are connected. Gloria: Ah, Kevin! She did it! Katherine left me her Jabot stock. Thanks to your help, I now have everything I could ever want. [SCENE_BREAK] River: Michael, Michael, hey, what's going on? Michael: Uh... Burke Shay will meet with us shortly. River: The federal prosecutor? Michael: The newly appointed federal prosecutor. He's a decent man, but more importantly, he is willing to hear about the irregularities in how your case was investigated. River: Will he drop it? Michael: Or reduce the charges, if we're very lucky. River: You're a force, Michael. So is your mother. Once Gloria recants what she told the authorities all those years ago, I'm a free man! Michael: About that-- we need to talk about the-- Woman: Mr. Shay will see you now. Michael: I need to spend a few more minutes with my client, please. River: Hey. You've been ready for this since the day you were born. [SCENE_BREAK] Roxanne: This is so romantic. Don't worry, we got your back. Devon: Yeah, that's right. We do. Lily: Oh, God, please let him be normal. Roxanne: How are you gonna know it's him? Does he look like the actor in that movie? Is that why his screen name is "Sonny Crawford"? Lily: Actually, you know, I don't know what he looks like. And he doesn't know what I look like, either. Devon: Hey, you should, uh, you should text Sonny and see if that old dude pulls out his cell phone. Lily: Oh, my gosh. No, I know. I will tell him to meet me in the literature section. Devon: Hm? Roxanne: I really wish we could meet all over again. Devon: Oh, yeah, Baby? Well, come on, I'll pick you up in the travel section. And I'll use an accent. Roxanne: Oh, really? Devon: Uh-huh. (Cell phone buzzes) Billy: Okay. I'll meet you in literature. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: That's right. Send me a .pdf file so I can see the changes to the contract. Okay. Appreciate that, bye-bye. All right, sorry about that. Um... so let's get back to what's bothering you. Tyra: Um, it-- it's actually nothing. I'm really happy about you and Karen's engagement. Neil: Oh. I thought we were talking about the numbers. Tyra: Oh, no, I-I-I am. You know what? These--gosh, these numbers are driving me crazy. Neil: Yeah. Numbers have a way of doing that. I hear ya. But I'm glad that you're happy for us. It means a lot to me. So let's figure out why these numbers aren't adding up. [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: You want motive? The crazy look in Gloria's eyes. "Your mother has all she ever dreamed of" because Katherine Chancellor is dead! Daniel: That's not what she said. Amber: Kevin's mother paid him in advance to do something to Mrs. C. that's what that money was. Daniel: No, that's not what the money was. No. No. No. No more caffeine. Amber: You see it, too, don't you? Daniel: Okay, Amber, I want you to listen to me. It's awful that Katherine's dead, all right? But it wasn't murder. It was a car and it was booze. It's a combination that I know too much about myself. Amber: No, Kevin did something to her. Daniel: I understand you are upset. You miss your friend and you want some other explanation other than a rainy night and a bad decision, but that's what it was. It's not a conspiracy. This is not about Jabot stock. This is not about Kevin. Kevin had nothing to do with this. It's just an awful thing that never should've happened. Amber: He did it for Gloria. [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: You got the package? You love it? Oh, I'm so happy. Uncle Jack sends his regards. Okay, Honey, I gotta go, but I'll call you back, all right? Okay, bye, Abby. You have lost your mind if you are actually gonna partner with Gloria. Jack: Yes, maybe I have lost my mind, but I am this close to regaining the family legacy. And that's okay with me. Ashley: Wait a second. You can't go anywhere near Jabot. You keep forgetting that! Jack: First things first, get the company back. Ashley: Gloria doesn't have any ethics or morals, Jack. She'll throw you under the bus or me or Jabot, if it serves her purpose. Jack: Which is why I intend to do unto others at the first opportunity. Right now, that woman and her so-called husband have a lot of Jabot stock. They have it. I want it. It's simply business. I need your help. Ashley: I don't like this. Jack: Ash, your help, your proxy is the last piece of the puzzle. And then we have Dad's company back. If you won't do this for me, do it for Dad. It's been a long time coming. . news. Jack: Ash, Dad loved Jabot. If I could get it back-- if we can get it back, it will change everything. Ashley: I miss him, too. You know that. Jack: He's still here. He's in this house. He's at the breakfast table. And he's at Jabot. Ashley: You're not fighting fair, Jackie. Jack: I'm not fighting at all. I'm telling you with everything in my heart, the thought of Cane Ashby-- Aussie bartender extraordinaire, taking Dad's seat makes me sick to my stomach. Ashley: I understand that, but Dad was more than just a company, Jack. Jack: Jabot was so much of who Dad was. And I screwed it up. If I am this close and I can't set this right, I can't redeem myself in Dad's eyes, Ash... Ashley: Jack... Jack... Dad was proud of you, no matter what you did. What about "Restless Style"? Jack: It wasn't Jabot. Ashley: There's other companies. There's other ways of getting close to Dad. Jack: Ash, tell me you need time, argue with me, tell me I'm an idiot, that there are so many ways this thing could blow up in my face. But don't say no. Please. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Literature, right? Here? Excuse me. Sorry, guys. Roxanne: Hey! Hi! You're the ringmaster! Billy: I'm sorry, what? Roxanne: My boyfriend Devon and I were at your Halloween party. Billy: Oh, yeah. Roxanne: I'm Roxanne. Billy: Oh, yeah! It's good to see you. All right, cool. Roxanne: Come on! Let Devon tell you how great your party was! Billy: Okay. Hi. Devon: Hey. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: Whoa! And it looks just a lot like the store we were just at. Chloe: No, this one has what I want. I can tell. So go--go browse. Go. Cane: You might find me in ancient history, Chloe. Chloe: Back there. Billy: Anyway, guys, it was great to see you again. And I promise, I can't wait to see you at the next party. I'll--I'll invite you definitely. Devon: Good talking to you. Roxanne: Okay. Chloe: Oh. Oh. Hey there, stranger. Billy: Damn it, Chloe. Not this time. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Oh, I still can't get over it. When that sweet lawyer said those beautiful words, "Gloria Abbott Bardwell gets 5% of her Jabot stock." Jeff: Angels sang "The Hallelujah Chorus." Gloria: Oh, yes. And, dear Kevin, you were a soldier for the cause. Kevin: We made a really sweet old woman think that she was losing her mind. Gloria: She was losing her mind. We just helped her along a little bit. Jeff: You were great. You deserve a lot of credit. Kevin: Oh, come on! You just wanna see me in a cell next to Michael's dad. Gloria: For what? Katherine gave me that stock of her own free will. Nobody put a gun to her head. Jeff: Kid's worried this will all blow up in his face. Kevin: Uh, the kid can speak for himself. Gloria: Come on, Kevin, let's celebrate. I'm gonna be running Jabot. Jeff: We, Dearest. Gloria: Yes, lover man, we. Before Katherine died, we did some things that could've come back to haunt us, but they didn't. And she's gone. And God rest her generous soul. And I am gonna be taking care of you, Kevin. Jeff: She'll show her love in the best way possible-- with lots of zeros. Kevin: So if I wanted to buy Jana a gift, this isn't gonna be like "Goodfellas" where I get whacked for buying a car, is it? Gloria: Knock yourself out, Kevin. Kevin: I think I will. Gloria: Hmm. Oh, it feels good to bring that kind of happiness to your child. Jeff: Yeah? How about bringing some of it to your hubby? [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: As you can see, my client was confronted with a corrupt police investigation. Lowell Baldwin never had a chance. Man: And instead of saying this in court, he evaded authorities, uh, decades ago, and again more recently. Michael: For a very good reason. And here's one of them. A memo to the original prosecutor stating that Howard Sullivan, A.K.A. "Kite," refused to quote, play ball, end of quote. Mr. Sullivan refused to testify that my client set off that bomb because it was a lie. And for his honesty, he received prison. As you can see from the signed statement, Mr. Sullivan would be more than happy to swear to this. Man: Sullivan went to jail for possession of a controlled substance. Not exactly a reliable witness. Michael: That was then. River: He wears a tie now. Man: I'm not impressed, Mr. Baldwin. River: What--what about-- what about Gloria? Tanya. Tell him, Michael. Man: Tell me about this-- what's her name? River: Tanya. Michael: Gloria. My mother, Gloria Simmons, at the time, was coerced into making a false statement about the bombing under an assumed name. River: Tanya. Michael: After the damaging statement, she received government aid, arranged by Detective Hampton. It's all in there. Man: Mm. If she can convince me that she's telling the truth now, then I'll reconsider some of the charges. River: Gloria's amazing. She'll change everything. Man: I'll be in touch. River: Yeah, thanks. Man: You're welcome. Michael: Thank you. River: Right. Right on. River: Way to go, Michael! Way to go! All your hard work and Glo-- miraculous Glo! Michael: Don't do this, Lowell. River: My God, Eden. I'll be with Eden again and Fen. I'll--I'll be with him every word he speaks. Michael: Lowell, listen-- listen to me, Lowell, please. River: What? Michael: We can't count on Gloria. I'm sorry, but we can't. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Why are you being so gloomy when life is so wonderful? Jeff: Don't you mean your life-- as in your company, your future? Almost sounds like you're trying to squeeze me out. Gloria: Oh, you know I'd never do that. Jeff: No, of course not. You have no intention of having me twiddle my thumbs while you steer the Jabot ship. Gloria: That's right. Because we're a team. Jeff: Damn right, sweetness. That stock's in both our names. And I can pull the plug on this little coup any time I want. Gloria: Oh! Stop being such a party pooper. Jeff: Just a little reminder. Don't count me out. Don't underestimate me. And don't ever, ever try to screw me over. Gloria: Uh-huh. [SCENE_BREAK] Jana: Hi. Well, you've got a naughty smile on. Why is that? Kevin: Me? Really? (Scoffs) I do not. Amber: Hey, what's Kevin's deal? Jana: I don't know, but it is so wonderful to see him that happy. Amber: You wanna see happy, you should see his mom. She came in here gloating that Katherine left her all this stock, and said it would've never happened if it weren't for Kevin. Jana: She said that? Amber: Practically did a victory dance. Jana: But Kevin's got nothing to do with that. Amber: She said it does. Jana: You know, maybe she's just still in shock about Mrs. Chancellor's death. I mean, it is-- it's a terrible loss for all of us. Amber: Yeah. They look miserable. Kevin: Hey. Daniel: You get a new ride? Kevin: Uh, a little louder, why don't you? Daniel: Well, you know, I think people are gonna be tipped off when you start driving around. Kevin: It's a surprise. For Jana. Daniel: Hmm. So what about all that talk about being broke? I mean, was that just crap? Kevin: Daniel. Daniel: Kevin. Kevin: It's called a credit card. People use 'em all the time. Daniel: So you're gonna buy this little present for Jana. You're gonna put it on a credit card? That's debt, brother. That is not cash. Kevin: And you need to give me a break about this money already, all right? It was a couple weeks' income from this frickin' place. That's it. Daniel: And now you're online checking out car sites on credit? Dude. Kevin: Dude, where would I get a bunch of cash? Daniel: I-I don't know. Where would you get a bunch of cash? You tell me. Kevin: Uh, I don't have a bunch of cash. But if I did, I would tell you. Okay? Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, okay. You know what? I'm--I'm sorry. Uh, it's Amber. She won't stop. She gets to me. Kevin: Yeah. Well, when you accuse me of lying to you, that's--that's-- that's a problem. So could please tell her to chill out. As a friend. Daniel: Yeah. I'll do my best. Kevin: Thanks. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: You are stalking me. Again. Chloe: Oh, get over yourself. I'm actually here looking for books. Billy: You know what, Chloe? It was very cute at first, and then it was just obnoxious. And now you're pissing me off. And if I get too pissed off, I'm just gonna have to tell my brother that he's not the only Chancellor to have... ventured here. Chloe: You're making it sound like it was so smutty. It was a relationship. Billy: It was a one-night stand that lasted too long. You know what? You're right. We should just go ahead and tell Cane the truth. How about that? Chloe: Oh, okay, yeah. And then, uh, Lily's gonna find out that you have Chloe cooties. Last time, that broke up her relationship with Cane. Why is she gonna cut you any slack? And for your information, I didn't know you were gonna be here. I don't like you. And you're actually pathetic. Billy: Ha. Lily: You found me. Cane: So what are you doing here? Lily: What-- Lily: You're shopping? Cane: Yeah. Um, looking for vintage children's books. Chloe's somewhere in an aisle. Lily: For the baby. Of course. Cane: I'm sorry. Lily: For what? For shopping? Cane: No. Because every time I see you, you get that look in your eye and I see that I've hurt you, and I'm-- Lily: Listen, I can't do this, okay? Cane: No. Lily: And please, don't say that you're sorry again. I'm actually meeting someone. Cane: You're meeting the other guy? You're meeting him here? Lily: Well, I can't meet him if you're here. Cane: Okay. Sure. Okay. Lily: Hi. What are you doing here? [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Hey, man. All right, I'll be right out. Gloria: I will let you know as soon as everything is official. You have no idea how grateful I am to you, Kevin. Kevin: Okay. Bye. Jana: Um, hi. Sorry, Kev? Kevin: Yeah? Jana: Come here. Um, you know, Amber just told me that your mum received some Jabot stock? Kevin: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, she's just grateful that she has something to brag about. Jana: Ah. Well, she had you to thank? Kevin: Well, yeah, you know, I've been helping Mrs. C. out with her computer a bit lately. I guess she was grateful for it. It maybe kind of softened her up a bit about Mom. Jana: What, grateful enough to put Gloria in her will? Kevin: Well, you know that Mrs. Chancellor got that stock from John. So maybe she just thought that it should revert back to Mom. Jana: Kev... Kevin: Mm-hmm? Jana: You know I love you. Right? Kevin: Mm-hmm. Jana: And I don't want anything more than the night we exchanged our vows. And that means that I don't want money. I don't want objects. I just want you. Kevin: Okay. Okay. And what I want is to give you the world, one piece at a time. Mwah. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: I am supposed to tell you to chill out about Kevin and the money. Amber: Because he doesn't want you to notice he's acting like a freak. Daniel: Because he says he doesn't have stacks of bills and you are making something out of nothing. Amber: Of course he's gonna say that. You think he's really gonna admit to having anything to do with Mrs. C.'s death? Huh? Daniel: Okay, Amber, I love you. I love you to death, but this needs to stop right now. Amber: I just need air. Kevin: Hey, so, uh, is it out front? Man: You got the money? Kevin: Yeah. Whoa, whoa, not until I see the merchandise. Man: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: You still angry? Ashley: I was never angry, Jackie. Jack: You weren't exactly happy with me. Ashley: Because you're putting me in a horrible situation. Jabot does weird things to you. It puts you in some dark place where you consider doing really stupid things, like partnering with Gloria. Jack: That should tell you how much it means to me. Ashley: Oh, Jackie, I know you're lost. I can see it, and that really does make me angry, because I think a lot of that is your own doing. Jack: It's all my doing. Ashley: Okay. Jack: Okay, what? Ashley: Bring Jabot back to the family, damn it. I'll give you my proxy. Jack: Ash, I promise you, this is the best decision you've ever made. Ashley: Nothing's changed, Jack. Gloria is a nightmare. You can't go anywhere near Jabot, and you'd better not screw this up again. Jack: You have my word. And thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Gloria: My, my, my, my, my. Well, joy is contagious, isn't it? I mean, you both feel how right this is! Jack: It is flipping fantastic. Ashley: Gloria-- Gloria: Yes, Ashley? Ashley: I like the color of your shirt. Gloria: Thank you. Jeff: (Laughs) You, uh, care to join us in some bubbly to celebrate? Jack: Uh, no. You--you two go ahead. Gloria: Okay. It's a new day, my friends. A wondrous new day! Jack: The Abbotts-- in control of Jabot again. [SCENE_BREAK] Tyra: Oh, you know what? I was beginning to think that we would never balance those numbers, but thanks to you, Mr. Winters, you're an absolute genius. Neil: Whoa, whoa, wait-- you're just now noticing that? Tyra: Really. Ana, where are you, baby? Let's, um, let's go and let Karen and Neil finish their wedding plans. (Cell phone ringing) Neil: Uh, this is the office. I gotta take this call. Stay here until I get back. I wanna say good-bye to you girls, okay? Tyra: Okay. Neil: Yeah? Tyra: Whoa. What? Are you not even gonna share with your mom? I tell you, kids! Karen: She's fast. Tyra: Listen, Karen, you are really sweet with Ana. You are, but... you and Neil can make your own wedding plans, have your own bridal party. You don't have to include her. Karen: No, no, no, no, are you kidding? We love Ana. And she's so excited. I'm sure she can't wait to be in your wedding someday, right? Tyra: My wedding? Karen: Yeah. Come on. Tyra: Well, that would mean that I would have to meet someone first. Karen: Well, what about Detective Wallace? He's obviously very interested, right? Tyra: Yeah, but taking Ana to get ice cream isn't necessarily a date. Karen: Well, no, but the next time it might be more like a date. I know coming back from New York for Neil was the smartest move I ever made. You know? And to think about how things might've turned out... Neil: Okay, sorry about that. What'd I miss? Anything? Tyra: Nope. Nothing, actually. Where's Ana? Ana, come on, baby girl, let's go. Neil: She's just getting cookies, that's all. Tyra: Yeah, she nabbed the last cookie. Neil: Oh, did she? Tyra: Mm-hmm. Neil: Good seeing you. Tyra: You, too. And congratulations again. Ana: Halfsies? Tyra: Aren't you sweet? Thank you, Baby. Ana: You're welcome. Tyra: Bye, guys. Neil: Bye. See you later, girls. Karen: I'll hold that page for you. Bye. (Giggles) Neil: I'm so glad they're gone. Karen: You know something? Neil: What? Karen: Hey, did you notice that your children were very excited about our engagement. Neil: Mm. Because you are a great catch. And I would be a fool not to marry you. Karen: Well, yes, of course, I know, but... but besides--no, no, seriously, seriously, think about it. I mean, they lost their mother, but they love you enough to want to see you happy. That's really special, you know? Neil: Yeah. Karen? It's time. I know that in my heart. You know, it's time to let go of the past and move on to a wonderful lifetime of memories with you. And I don't wanna miss... not a single... second. Karen: I'm glad they're gone. [SCENE_BREAK] River: Gloria has no reason to hold back on the truth. Michael: In her mind, she does. River: Glo will come through for me. Michael: No, she won't. She told me to count her out River: She said that? Michael: It's time to forget about her and think about how to make Howard Sullivan important enough to change the prosecutor's mind. That doesn't mean panic, it means we refocus. River: Michael, its okay. Your mother will come around. I saw her face when she found out I knew she'd given me up to the cops and that I didn't blame her for it. She'll come around. Man: Let's go. Michael: Lowell, I'll do my best. River: And that is a wonderful thing. Man: No contact. [SCENE_BREAK] Daniel: Why are you biting your lip? Don't do that. Amber: I have something to tell you. And you don't wanna hear it. Daniel: You know what? You're right. Bite your lip. Kevin: Hey, uh, can I have everybody's, uh-- Jana: What's going on? Kevin: Okay, so... three months and three days ago, I married this beautiful woman, who I don't even come close to deserving. And I promised that I would give her a gift every month to show her how much I love and value her. And because I wanna give you everything in the world. Now... do you remember when we first met, you had your scooter, then you had to sell it? Okay. Hold on. Jana: Oh, my God! Oh! Kevin! Kevin: I love you so much. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: Yeah, you know what? This place just, uh, doesn't have what I want, so let's go. Cane: You didn't just happen to know that Billy was gonna be here, did you? Chloe: Right, because I'm his social secretary. No. Not like I care. Billy: Another near miss with the online guy? Lily: Yeah. I got Cane instead. Billy: You--you think this dude saw you and Cane together and thought he should stay away? Lily: Do you think that's what happened? Billy: Well, uh, Honey, it's--it's hard to walk up to a girl and say, "Hi, I'm your date," when you're so obviously in love with another man. Lily: (Sighs) I don't wanna love him. Billy: Oh. [NEXT_ON] Jack: I don't need you to tell me how to live my life. Phyllis: I just ran into you wife. She's with my husband! Nick: This is about our kiss in Paris, right? I haven't stopped thinking about it, either. Ashley: I'm calling for Victor. He'd really like to see you.
