Summer visits Nick to see how he is doing and to invite him out to dinner with her. Nick has his reservations but agrees to go anyway. At the cabin, Avery tries to talk Dylan into giving her the baby when Adam and Chelsea come bursting in. Adam orders Dylan to give him his baby, but Dylan holds a flashlight on him. Avery begs Adam to let her take care of this. Sharon meets up with her psychiatrist who doesn't seem to want to talk to her. The doctor wants to set up an appointment for Sharon in her office, but she refuses. Nick and Summer discuss Avery being with Dylan the day of their wedding. At the Athletic Club, Jack approaches Victor with a very tempting offer. He explains why he helped Adam regain control of Newman, but now he will break all ties with Newman in exchange for Victor cutting Adam some slack. Sharon and the doctor discuss how Nick and Avery's marriage fell through, but she was there for Nick to help him. Dylan yells for Sully to come and help him. Avery urges Dylan to let her help him. Connor begins to cry. Dylan has a complete emotional meltdown and sinks down to the floor with Connor. Sharon assures the doctor that she feels wonderful, and she doesn't need her meds. Courtney and Noah have a meeting in the park in which Courtney skates into Noah, so he will catch her in his arms. Jack orders Victor to leave Summer alone. An argument erupts between the two. Summer overhears them arguing and realizes that she is just a bargaining chip between them. The doctor writes Sharon a prescription for more meds. Adam gets the baby and cradles him in his arms. Summer blasts Jack and Victor for using her. Nick joins them and blasts Jack and Victor for their actions. Summer leaves hurt and frustrated. Nick comforts Summer as Jack watches. Victor calls Noah to come and meet him the following morning. Noah confronts Sharon again about not taking her meds. Courtney wonders if Sharon likes her. Adam and Chelsea leave with Connor. Avery comforts Dylan. Nick comes home and knocks the pics off the desk as Sharon walks in.
Nick: Summer, hey. Uh, come in. You okay? Summer: Me? Yeah. I-I came to check on you. Nick: [Chuckles] I'm okay. Well, let's just say I'm as okay as I can be. Summer: Maybe I'm taking it harder than you are. Nick: Worse things have happened. Summer: It just doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand why that happened. Nick: You mean why I lost Avery? The truth is I don't think I ever had her to begin with. Avery: I bet Connor is tired and hungry and really wants his mommy right now. Right? Can you help me? Can you help me get the baby back to Chelsea? Can you help the baby? Dylan, Connor needs you. It's okay. Okay. Adam: Get your hands off my son! Dylan: [Shouting in Pashto] Adam: What? What the hell is this? Dylan: Stay back! Adam: Hand me my son! Dylan: I said stop! Chelsea: Dylan? Dylan: [Shouting in Pashto] Adam: All right. Enough of this. Just hand me the baby. Avery: Listen. I need you to lower your voice, back off, and let me deal with this. Adam: Why would I do that? Avery: Because we both know I'm the only one who can get through to Dylan. Dr. Watkins: Sharon? Nice to see you again. Sharon: Oh. You, too, doctor. Well, have a nice evening. Dr. Watkins: I've been, uh -- I've been a little worried about you since the last time we spoke. You still haven't been back to my office. I'm happy to open up my schedule for whatever time works for you or whatever location you're comfortable with. Sharon: I appreciate the offer, but that's really not necessary. Suddenly things feel very right in my life. For the first time in ages, all of the pieces are falling back into place. Everything is the way it was meant to be all along. Nick: I guess I kind of lost it at the park. You know, telling everyone there wasn't gonna be a wedding was no fun. I didn't expect to do that. But it's okay. You didn't need to come and check on me. Summer: Yeah. Because you look great. Not like you just had your heart ripped out or anything. Nick: That's...sweet, I think. Summer: You love Avery, and Avery loves you. I know it. I just don't understand why she didn't show up. Nick: Well, Dylan needed her. It's that simple and that complicated. And honestly, Avery needed Dylan. I didn't see that coming. Or maybe I didn't want to. I don't know. But I'm gonna get over this. Don't worry about it. You should be out with your friends or Courtney. Go grab some dinner. Have some fun. Summer: That's the plan. You know what? Come on. Get dressed. I'm taking you out. Nick: That's sweet, but you don't need me hanging around you right now. Summer: You're coming with me. Nick: Summer... Summer: No. You know me. I am just gonna sit here until you say yes. Jack: Mind if I join you? Victor: I would very much mind, yes. Jack: Oh, I think you'll want to hear this. I have an offer for you. Victor: Really? And you think I'll be interested in your offer? Jack: I do think you'll be interested. This could change everything. Victor: There's not a damn thing that you can say that I'll be remotely interested in, jack. Jack: Okay, you're furious at Adam. Why? Because he helped you. Victor: That isn't it at all, and you know it. Jack: So his help came with a little financial assistance from me. So what? What? The great victor Newman didn't see that coming and you feel betrayed? Victor: I always knew my son Adam could not be trusted. And he has proven it once again. Jack: I may think your son is crazy for it, but your son wants to have a relationship with you. I helped him with that. Victor: Mm. Jack: I gave him money to build that relationship. I gave him money. He helped you take Newman private. And for one brief, glorious moment, he made you proud. Do you know what that meant to Adam? He loved it. And as his friend, I was happy about it. Victor: [Chuckles] The two of you are friends? Jack: Yes, we are. Victor: You deserve each other. Jack: Okay. I know you're furious with Adam for pulling off what you couldn't. He got Newman back. And for that, all he wants is your acceptance. Victor: Mm-hmm. Jack: That's all he wants. Could you just lighten up? Blame all this fish hook business on me, and give your son a break. Victor: Stop all your bullocky. You said you had an offer to make. Jack: Yes, I do. It's quite simple, actually. I will find someone that both you and Adam approve of who can buy me out at Newman. That's right. I will walk away if you cut Adam some slack, allow him back into your good graces. Victor: You'll just walk away from Newman -- no power, no control, no financial interests? Jack: I just said that, didn't I? Victor: Uh-huh. And you'd do this for Adam? Jack: You just heard my offer. Victor: [Chuckles] Who the hell do you think you're talking to? What are you really after? Summer: You know, I'm too old to hold my breath, otherwise I would do that, too. Nick: Summer... Summer: No, okay, not that voice. I know that voice -- the "you know better than me and you're gonna convince me that you're right." But I'm right this time, okay? You're gonna come out with me, and we don't have to talk about Avery or weddings. We can talk about movies and we can talk about all my classes at the university in January. Yay for a differed enrollment! [Chuckles] Nick: [Laughs] Summer: Okay, or we can talk about boring baseball stuff if you really, really want to. Nick: Boring? What? I mean, it's -- it's a tempting offer, but, uh -- Summer: Seriously? Really? You're really gonna make me pull the guilt card and bring up the DNA tests? Nick: Ouch. Summer: Yeah. Too far? Nick: Maybe. [Chuckles] But you are right. I would love to have dinner with you and just talk to you about your life and whatever you want. Summer: Okay. Well, you can't go out like that, so you go get showered, and I will wait here for you. Nick: Uh...okay. How about if I just meet you there? Summer: No, because then I'll get a call at the club saying that you can't make it, maybe next time. Yeah, no. Fat chance. I'm waiting here. Nick: Do you really think I would bail on you and miss out on a chance to hang out with you? Summer, I wouldn't do that in a million years. I will see you there. Sharon: I knew nick's relationship with Avery wouldn't last. Dylan -- he was at my home building my kitchen, and it was obvious he was still connected to Avery. And she with him. I mean, that kind of history -- that's strong. And what nick and I have -- it's even stronger. You know, first young loves. That young, deep passion -- it just -- it grows over time. It's the kind of love that always finds its way home. Dr. Watkins: So you feel that you and Nicholas are moving toward a romantic reunion? Sharon: Well, there's no need to label things. I mean, the connection is what it is. It's profound and lasting. Dr. Watkins: Nicholas was prepared to marry Avery? Sharon: Yeah, well, I was going to marry Adam again, too, when I was in prison. In fact, I went through with it with victor, which just goes to show you. Just because you make it to the altar doesn't mean it's a good idea. And I think nick lucked out that Avery didn't make it to the vows. I think he's gonna realize that soon when the sting wears off. Dr. Watkins: I wonder if you're reading into Nicholas' emotions -- seeing things that, you know, aren't there. Sharon: Well, with all due respect, you don't know Nicholas. He's in pain right now. He's a very strong, brave man who doesn't show his wounds to anyone. But he showed them to me when Avery abandoned him. And that plus another situation with summer, um -- I think nick knows I'm the one constant in his life. Dr. Watkins: I read about his ex-wife's accident -- Phyllis. Sharon: Nick deserves to have someone he can count on. So do I. I mean, why can't we be happy together? Dr. Watkins: Sharon this is very important, and I'd like to talk about it in private, in session. And...I'd like to talk to you about going back on your meds. Sharon: Who said I went off of them? I mean, I explained to Noah -- Dr. Watkins: Your prescription hasn't been refilled in quite a while. Now, going off of your medication without supervision -- it's physically and mentally dangerous. Sharon: Well, maybe for some people, but look at me -- no negative side effects. Dr. Watkins: Please, Sharon, let me help you get back on track. Adam: Let you handle it? If it were up to you, Dylan would be halfway across the country with our son. Avery: Okay, but he's not. He's here. I can handle this. I am your son's best chance. Chelsea: Adam, please, listen to her. Let Avery do what she needs to do. Dylan: She needs a doctor! I need to get her to a doctor now! Chelsea: Oh, my god. Dylan: It's okay. It's okay, Ara. I got you. Chelsea: Oh, my god, Dylan. No, Dylan. You're -- you're not -- Dylan, you're in the states. You're -- you're not at war. That's Connor, remember? Connor -- he's named after your dad. Adam: He's having a psychotic break, and I'm gonna call the cops. Avery: No, that will only make things worse. Adam: If he hurts my baby -- Dylan: She needs a doctor! [Shouting in Pashto] Chelsea: Stop, you're just making it worse, Adam. Please, you have to talk to him. You have to calm him down and help our son. Avery: Okay, you have to stay calm. Just stay calm. Dylan: Stand down. We got to wait for sully. Avery: Dylan, he's not here -- your friend, sully. It's me. It's Avery. You know me, right? Because I know you. Dylan: He's not here? Sully! Where is he? Where is he?! He can help get a doctor. He can help her. We're -- it's -- it's okay, Ara. It's okay. It's just you and me. We -- we're gonna get out of this place. Chelsea: Ara? Oh, my god. She -- she -- she died in his arms, but he convinced himself that she was alive and he had to get her to safety. It's the only reason he made it home alive. Avery: Ara? Dylan, can I see her? Can I -- can I see Ara? [Mortar firing] Chelsea: My baby! Dylan: [Breathing shakily] It's okay. I've got you. We're gonna make it home. Both of us. Sharon: I feel wonderful. And that's got to count for something. Dr. Watkins: I'm sure you do feel wonderful. But there's a cost to that, Sharon. All the progress that we've made... Sharon: The pills made me feel less than myself. And, I mean, look at me. Am I threat to public safety or myself? No. So I should be able to choose if I want to be on medication or not, and I choose not to. And now I can live and feel and breathe and love again. I finally feel whole again. Why would I let that feeling go? Dr. Watkins: You're on a manic upswing, and there's going to be a downswing. Sharon: No. No, there's not going to be. Because this is who I am, and this is who I was before I wandered in to your office -- somebody who has hope and optimism, who believes in the world. I'm not gonna give that up. Could I have a refill? Noah: [Breathing heavily] Oh! Courtney: Oh! Oh! [Laughs] Noah: Easy, there. Almost wiped out. Courtney: But you saved me. You're my hero. [Both chuckle] Victor: You walk away from Newman in return for what? Come on. I want to hear you say it. Jack: I walk away from Newman, you walk away from summer. Stop trying to influence her. Stop trying to manipulate her. Stop trying to make her choose sides. You focus on the rest of your family. Victor: You're using that girl as a bargaining chip for money. Your father knew what family meant. Do you think he would approve of what you're doing there? Jack: Let's suppose we leave my father out of this. Now, how about you let Nicholas and me worry about summer, and you can focus on Adam? He has a son -- your grandchild, an actual blood relative. You can hand out cigars. You can figure out how to manipulate his little life from the cradle onward. Just leave my daughter alone. Victor: I don't give a damn what you offer me. Summer needs her family. Jack: She has a family. Let's be honest here. If she had anyone but my genes, you wouldn't... Victor: I wouldn't do what? Jack: You wouldn't give a damn, and you'd walk away. Victor: And if she's not my family? Jack: She is not your blood. You're gonna have to accept that sooner or later. Victor: You honestly think I give a damn whether she's my blood or not? She grew up as part of my family. We have grown to love her. Jack: Then leave her in peace. Give her what she wants -- the space to work through this confusion without you breathing down her neck. Victor: So you want me to just cut off my relationship with my granddaughter? Jack: I want you to consider my offer. Newman, without me, without my money, without my influence, without any concerns about control, and you walk away from summer. It's a simple deal. Take it or leave it. Summer: Oh, my god. So, you're negotiating a deal, and I'm the prize? Avery: Dylan, it's me. It's Avery. We're in the cabin. We're not in Afghanistan. It's just us. Dylan: I'll get you out of here. I'm gonna get you someplace safe. Avery: Let me help you both. Dylan: What are you doing here? Get down! You want to get yourself shot?! Avery: Okay, listen. Listen. I know a way out. Let me have the little girl, and I can lead you both to a doctor. Dylan: With all due respect, ma'am -- Avery: Dylan, you came to me the other day because you knew that I would understand about the baby, and now you're here -- you're in our safe place. Let me help you. Let's do this together. Please, I owe it to you to help you find the way home. [Bomb explodes] Chelsea: Oh, my god. He hasn't cried. Why hasn't the baby made a sound? Avery: Dylan. [Voice breaking] It's me. It's Avery. It's me. I am with you. You're home. Please, I need you to hear me. You're home. And I really need you to come back to me. Please. Please. Dylan: Avery? Avery: Yes. Dylan: It's you? It's really you. Oh, my god. Chelsea: Please, Connor, can you hear me? It's mommy. Please, baby, let mommy hear you. Adam: If he's hurt, you're a dead man. [Connor cries] Chelsea: Oh, thank -- oh, thank god! Thank god. Baby, it's okay. It's okay, baby. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Adam: Hand me my son. Chelsea: Hi. Hi. Oh, it's okay. It's okay, baby. It's okay. [Sniffles] Okay. It's okay. [Connor crying] Chelsea: It's okay. It's okay. Noah: Does that hurt? Courtney: No. Noah: What about this? Courtney: No, not re-- okay, okay! Yeah, yeah. Right there. No, that totally hurts. Noah: You're totally faking it. Courtney: What? I like having my feet rubbed in a park. It's nice. Okay, fine. I'll make you a deal. You do me, and I'll do you. Noah: I can't believe you lied to me. Courtney: I can't believe you figured me out. Actually, I totally can. [Laughs] I'm a much better liar with my parents. Noah: Hmm. Courtney: Kind of like world-class level. You must bring out the honesty in me, especially when you're in hero mode and all. Noah: Yeah, well, this hero says you're gonna be just fine. You're welcome, by the way. Courtney: How about we go to crimson light? I'll get you a frappé as a thank you. Oh, but first, I'm kind of thinking this one might hurt. Do you want to rub that foot, too? Noah: [Chuckles] Dr. Watkins: Here's the prescription for a lower dosage. It should help to get rid of that cloudy feeling while helping to keep your moods in balance. But, Sharon, therapy is still crucial, especially at this stage. The first two years of treatment are crucial. Sharon: I'm aware of all this, you know? My mind operates perfectly well -- better than ever, really. And if I need medical help, I'll get it. You know me. I'm not shy. Dr. Watkins: Sharon, this disorder doesn't go away. It doesn't somehow spontaneously disappear. But it will whisper to you and insist that you're fine, that you don't need help. You came to me last year because you felt like you were drowning, that you wanted to save yourself. That was such a good instinct. Trust it. Sharon: I-I really appreciate all of this, but as I asked my son, what exactly have I done that indicates I'm out of control? Nothing. I'm on a path for my own recovery. I'm taking control. I'm getting my life back. And I know, in my heart, I'm doing the right thing. Summer: Seriously? You're bribing grandpa to forget that he knows me? Jack: I am trying to urge him to give you the space you need, and I'm speaking in the only language he understands. Victor: Sweetheart, this man is a hypocrite. He accuses me of manipulating my family, all the while bartering for the right to have you by his side. Summer: Yeah, but you listened, didn't you? Victor: No, I did not listen. Summer: Yeah, if Newman is on the table, then who knows what you would do? I am just one more thing for you two to fight over. Jack: Summer -- Nick: What is going on? Summer: Jack offered something about Newman to have grandpa forget that he knows me. Nick: Is that true? Victor: I want you to meet the anonymous investor at Newman enterprises. Your brother Adam inflicted this man upon our company as the ultimate betrayal. Now he promises to walk away from Newman if I sever my ties to a granddaughter I love. Jack: Okay, there's a lot more to this story, and you know it. Nick: I am so sick of this. It never stops with you two. You don't care who it hurts. And you -- I backed off, jack. I gave you all the time you needed to bond with summer, and that's not enough for you? I cannot believe this. I can't believe either one of you. Summer, let's go. Jack: Summer, intentions are everything in this situation. My intention was to give you space to work through all this. Nick: It's the thought that counts. You tried to bribe your way into her life, and you expect her to buy that? Summer: Okay. Nick: What? Summer: I'll listen. Make me understand why you're bargaining for me, jack. Sharon: Hey, Noah. Noah: Hi. Sharon: Who is this? Noah: Uh, Courtney, this is my mom. Mom, Courtney. This is my mom, Sharon Newman. Courtney: Hi, Mrs. Newman. It's nice to meet you. Sharon: You, too. Yeah, I think I've seen you at the ranch before visiting summer. And I didn't know you were friends with Noah, too. How nice. Noah: Courtney owed me a refreshing beverage, which I'm gonna collect now. Courtney: Yes, it's true. Noah saved me from some bodily harm earlier and severe embarrassment. [Chuckles] Um, is there something I can get you, too? Sharon: No, I'm fine. I'm gonna leave. Courtney: Okay. Sharon: I like her. I mean, I like her a lot better than that other one that I caught you with that time. What was her name? Or do you not remember? Noah: I don't know. It started with an "m" or A... "J." No, I'm not talking about this with you, okay? Courtney is just a friend. Sharon: Oh, really? Are you sure? Noah: Yes, I'm sure. How are you? Sharon: You know the reason why you are always worried about me is because you don't have enough going on in your own life. Right now, you should be charming your date, not hovering over me. Noah: Can you blame me for worrying about you after I found your meds? Sharon: Noah, stop it, okay? I explained all that to you. I'm doing really well -- not too high, not too low. I'm just right. Now, here comes your date, so I'm gonna take off. Courtney: Bye, Mrs. Newman. Noah: Bye, mom. Thank you. Courtney: So...do you think your mom liked me? I think we have her blessing. Noah: Blessing? To do what? Drink coffee? Courtney: That is all we're doing here, right? Nick: Summer, you don't owe either one of them anything right now. Victor: Sweetheart, I want you to understand something clearly -- he came to bargain with me, and I did not listen. Jack: I hate the way this sounds. This is an act of affection, though. I am trying to protect you. Nick: So, dad, you did not engage at all? You didn't take the bait? Victor: No, I did not, son. Summer: I cannot do this again. Jack: You don't have to do this again. You don't have to have this pressure. You and I can just talk. Summer: Yeah, well, I said I would listen, but nothing that you've said has made me feel anything less than like a bargaining chip. Maybe that's all I've been to the both of you. Jack: Summer. Summer... Nick: You have any idea how lucky we were that she came back from Georgia at all? Look, if you want to drive her away, then keep it up. Nick: Summer. I'm so sorry. Summer: I-I'm the one that dragged you right here into this mess. Nick: No, no, no. You didn't drag me into anything. And I'm sorry that you're in the middle of this -- you have no idea how sorry. Look, if you want to go, you want me to go, we'll do whatever you want. Summer: I just want it all to stop. [Sniffles] Adam: It's okay, little guy. Hey. Hey. It's okay. [Connor crying] Adam: Daddy's here. Chelsea: He doesn't even know you. Adam: You made sure of that, didn't you? Avery: It's okay. Dylan, it's okay. You're home and you're safe and everything is gonna be okay. Dylan: I don't know. If you didn't come... Avery: But I did. Courtney: So what concert next? Noah: What? Courtney: Vampire weekend was awesome. Which one do you want to hit next? Noah: Who do you like? Courtney: Who's playing? Noah: You don't care about the music? Courtney: No, it's just -- it's about the experience, you know? All those people and all that energy and the show and everything. It's not like I don't have my own taste. I mean, fun. Is touring, and muse is playing, and some old bands like the pixies, which would be totally awesome to go see. [Chuckles] But I don't know. It's just kind of about showing up and having fun and -- I don't know -- being there with whoever you're with. Do you think that's goofy? Noah: [Chuckles] Uh, there's nothing wrong with a little goofy every once in a while. Courtney: [Chuckles] Noah: But I think that's a pretty smart perspective. Courtney: And you're gonna tell your mom you think I'm smart? I mean, she already liked me. I'm pretty sure she's gonna love me after that. Noah: Well, maybe I should go chat up your family, hmm? Maybe they're on the patio. Courtney: [Chuckles] No, in Vienna's more like it. Um, my dad -- he's in finance, and so it's just kind of like endless frequent-flyer miles and everything, and my mom -- she's into charity and all that stuff. Noah: Maybe she knows my grandmother -- the whole philanthropy circuit. Courtney: I'm sure that they've met and everything. I mean, but everyone kind of knows who your grandmother is. Noah: Yeah. Courtney: Kind of like how they know the Newmans. Must be kind of wild being a part of that brand-name family. Noah: It's got plenty of perks and...just as many drawbacks. Jack: Nice work, victor. Real nice. Victor: Well, jack, I gave you enough rope to hang yourself, and you did. Jack: Did it ever occur to you to make summer feel better rather than make yourself look good? Okay, now summer is gone. Accept my offer for her sake. Victor: Like hell I will. Jack: Suit yourself. You have me involved in all things Newman from here on. Victor: I doubt that seriously. But you know, you can always come by my office and run some errands for me. Jack: Oh, I'll be glad to come by your office and be a thorn in your side for as long as you can think about it. Victor: Ain't gonna happen, son. Jack: You don't think so? Victor: Unh-unh. Jack: You don't accept my offer, you don't have much choice. I own a substantial piece of your precious company, and I have no reason to get rid of it. Victor: You know, jack, I have some news for you on that front -- some news for you and for Adam. So you meet me here tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. And don't be late. Summer: [Sighs] [Cell phone rings] Summer: Hello? Oliver: Summer. It's Oliver. How's it going? Summer: Oliver, where are you? Oliver: Just got back in the states. Had an amazing shoot overseas, otherwise I would have called you sooner. How great were your shots in the campaign? Summer: Yeah. Pretty much the only good thing from the past few months. Oliver: Everyone here at Forrester's talking about you. Summer: They are? Oliver: Yeah. And the good kind of talk, not the usual kind of stuff that goes on around here. Is there any chance you'd want to get on a plane and come out here and meet some of these people? I'm talking the sooner the better. Sharon: Nicholas? Dylan: I just -- I can't... I don't know how, I don't know why -- Ave: Why is for later. Right now, Connor is safe, and you -- you're back. Dylan: It just all felt so real. The smell, the sound -- it was like... it was like I was there. I mean, I could have -- Avery: No. You would have never hurt him. Dylan: Anything could have happened. Avery: Well, we'll figure that out -- why it happened -- and make sure that it doesn't happen again. Right now, we have to get you back to Genoa city. Dylan: There's nothing for me there. There's nothing for me anywhere. Noah: It's the, uh -- the one at the fountain. Courtney: Oh, that one's fabulous. That one's definitely my favorite so far. Noah: Hmm. Mine, too. Courtney: So, um, do you think you're gonna stick with this whole photography thing? Noah: Uh, is that your way of saying that I shouldn't? Or are you just humoring me about the pictures? Courtney: No. I'm just -- I don't know. I'm just saying that you're a Newman. You could basically be senior V.P. Of whatever, like, tomorrow. You're like American royalty. Noah: [Chuckles] Courtney: You could have anything you want -- whatever your heart desires, no one to stop you. [Cell phone rings] Noah: Hello? Victor: Noah, my boy. This is your grandfather. Yep. I'd like you to meet me for lunch tomorrow and discuss your future. Nick: I didn't know you were here. Sharon: Nicholas, don't. You don't ever have to explain an emotional outburst to me, of all people. You're better off letting it out. All the pain, all the anger -- just get rid of it. It's toxic. Let it all out. It's the only way to move on. Nick: Well, I'll aim for the heavy bag at the gym next time. Sharon: You really feel like you have to do that? You have to make a joke and pretend like it's okay? I mean, maybe with somebody else, but... I know what you're feeling watching someone you love walk away. Nick: It's 'cause I did the same thing to you, bouncing back and forth between you and Phyllis. And now here I am, the one left behind. Karma is a -- Sharon: It's not karma. It's not payback. It's just... it's life. It's the heart making a decision that the mind would never make. And Avery made her decision. That's not on you. Nick: I don't know what comes next. Sharon: Well, whatever happens, the worst is over, and now it's just the healing. And whatever you need, I'm here for you. Dylan: You and I lost our baby. I lost sully. I lost Ara. [Voice breaking] And I lost my son. I lost my son. Avery: I know. Dylan, I am so sorry. I know. Dylan: [Crying] Jack: Adam, I just had a lovely conversation with your father at the club. Guess what -- he's up to something. He wants us to meet him at 9:00 tomorrow morning at the club. He seemed unreasonably confident. I think you and I need to get together and discuss this. Chelsea: [Sighs] Dr. Woods says he looks perfect. Adam: No thanks to your lunatic husband. Chelsea: Connor just needs some sleep and a bottle and to know that he's safe at home... here with me. Adam: Pack a bag, give it to me, and we'll be on our way. Chelsea: You're not taking him. Adam: I am taking him. Chelsea: Adam, no. Adam: Chelsea, yes. And we're gonna leave before Dylan gets back. I'm taking my son somewhere safe. Chelsea: You can't take my baby from me. Adam: Watch me. [NEXT_ON] Nikki: Is my search for my son worth lying to the people I love? Avery: I also know you still love her and that little boy. Isn't there still a part of you that wants that? Chelsea: So does that mean you won't try to take him from me? Adam: He can stay with you under one condition.
