Jack And Kyle Set Up Billy’s Bachelor Party

At the Abbott mansion, Jack and Kyle prepare snacks for Billy’s bachelor party-Michael Baldwin and Cane Ashby arrive first; Michael jokes about spreading illness despite appearing healthy.

They’re plotting a prank that makes Cane uneasy. When Billy arrives, tension becomes visible between him and Cane, who stand apart awkwardly-Jack unveils premium single-malt scotch and begins serving drinks, and Billy asks about the evening’s agenda.

Jack promises an event befitting distinguished gentlemen, and Kyle announces the first activity: Billy’s roast, with himself as roastmaster, and Michael targets Billy’s fashion sense, but Jack defends Billy’s stylish appearance.

Billy proposes penalties for inaccurate roasts, and Michael accepts and requests a penalty shot, revealing they’ve orchestrated the entire setup to manipulate Jack into pouring drinks.

Michael Makes A Toast To “Billy Boy”

Michael concludes his remarks with a toast honoring “Billy Boy.” Kyle then introduces the next roaster, noting he uses several aliases-Ethan, Ashby, and Dumas-before Cane steps forward.

Michael eagerly awaits the roast, while Billy looks nervous; Cane describes their ongoing rivalry over business, women, and recognition, claiming he typically prevails.

Billy concedes that Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) probably prefers Cane; when Cane attempts compliments, Billy resists.

This prompts Cane to resume roasting by questioning Billy’s bachelor status given his multiple marriages, and the group acknowledges sharing this issue, so Kyle declares everyone must drink if they’ve had an ex-wife-or three, four, or five.

Jack Kiddingly Threatens To Disown Kyle

Jack humorously threatens to disown Kyle, then  Cane concludes by expressing gratitude for the invitation despite suspecting Billy lacks other friends, then everyone drinks.

Kyle introduces himself as the next roaster, critiquing Billy’s job instability and mocking his brief podcast venture, The Grinning Soul. After drinking, Kyle notices their bottle is empty and retrieves another.

During the break, Jack and Cane converse privately. Cane thanks Jack for redirecting Billy from his Chancellor conflict, but Jack clarifies it was entirely Billy’s choice.

Chelsea And Audra Set Up Sally’s Bachelorette Party

At Society, Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) and Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) are busy preparing Sally’s bachelorette celebration alongside Abby Winters (Melissa Ordway) and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland).

When Sally walks in, she’s thrilled by the thoughtful decorations. She wonders if the gathering will remain intimate with just the five of them, given that a stomach bug has significantly reduced her original guest list. Claire Newman (Hayley Erin), Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) arrive together as an unexpected surprise; Chelsea had arranged for them to join last-minute to compensate for all the cancellations.

Sally Is Toasted, But Someone Forgot The Cake!

The group toasts Sally, and the festivities commence. Abby and Claire have a conversation about Devon Winters (Bryton James) and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens).

Traci connects with Lily, who insists everything is fine, though Traci senses she’s concealing something. Audra pulls Chelsea aside, reminding her to maintain her smile, then inquires about the cake; Chelsea’s expression falters; she never took responsibility for the cake!

Audra reminds her that Chelsea had volunteered for it. Chelsea counters that she handled decorations while Audra was supposed to manage the food-the cake is missing!

Sally Joins Lily And Traci

Sally enters Lily and Traci’s discussion, inquiring whether Lily had prior knowledge of her twins’ genders.

Sally immediately feels regretful about her question after Lily reveals that they enlisted a surrogate due to her hysterectomy during her battle with ovarian cancer, though Lily reassures her that she’s maintained good health since then.

When Chelsea and Audra’s heated argument erupts in the kitchen, the entire gathering hears their shouting, prompting Sally to hurry over and investigate.

Traci turns to Lily with concern, asking if she’s truly doing well and reminding her that she can share anything confidentially.

Lily Confides To Traci Her Cancer May Have Returned, She’s Waiting On Results

Lily acknowledges it’s not the right moment or setting for such a conversation but confesses that her cancer might have returned and she’s currently awaiting test results.

She reveals that Cane remains unaware; she fears that disclosing this could jeopardize their newly rekindled relationship.

Traci counters this perspective, suggesting that Cane would likely rise to the occasion and would genuinely want to know so he could support her through the challenge.

Meanwhile, across the room, Abby vents to Victoria and Claire about Nick Newman’s (Josh Morrow) refusal to permit her a visit during his rehabilitation.

Victoria seizes the opportunity to inform her about Marie Kirkland’s (Jade Harlow) overdose and how it’s impacting Nick.

Chelsea, Audra And Sally Return From The Kitchen, And Sally’s Sister Coco Arrives

Chelsea, Audra, and Sally emerge from the kitchen, where Chelsea and Audra apologize for their earlier conflict at Sally’s celebration.

Coco arrives, and Sally lights up with genuine delight at seeing her;  she gently touches Sally’s belly, and Sally warmly introduces her to everyone present. Audra gathers the group together to begin the gift-giving ceremony.

Coco presents Sally with a box containing an heirloom earring pair labeled “something old” ornate pieces that once belonged to her great-aunt, also named Sally.

Audra offers the “something borrowed” gift: her grandmother’s cherished rosary.

Though Audra’s grandmother has passed away and Sally has never heard her mentioned before, Sally feels honored to incorporate this meaningful keepsake into her momentous occasion.

Chelsea Gives Sally Something Blue-It’s From Jill

Chelsea hands Sally the “something blue” box, explaining it’s a present from Jill. As Sally reads the accompanying card, Jill’s playful message reveals she discovered a blue brooch previously owned by Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper).

Jill affectionately refers to Katherine as “the old battleaxe” while expressing confidence that Katherine would have adored Sally and celebrated the upcoming baby with enthusiasm.

Overwhelmed by the heartfelt gestures surrounding her, Sally becomes emotional and expresses gratitude for how everyone in the room has made her feel welcomed and supported in Genoa City.

The group comes together to toast Sally with raised glasses and cheerful celebration.

Michael Compliments Billy On His Composure, Then Sneaks Off To Send A Message To “Natasha”

Back at the Abbott Mansion, Michael compliments Billy on his composure during the roast, though he mentions it would be more entertaining if Billy got upset. Kyle slips away to the kitchen to send a message to Natasha,  which is how he has Victoria’s contact labeled on his phone.

In the living room, Jack inquires about Lily’s relationship with Cane, and Cane expresses his determination not to jeopardize things again.

He mentions he’d be willing to marry her again in a heartbeat if given the chance. Jack brings Kyle back into the gathering and presents him as the next person to roast.

Jack Returns To The Roast And Talks About The Boat Billy Lost Gambling

Jack immediately references the S.S. Jaboat, the vessel Billy lost during his struggle with gambling problems.

He recounts the tale of Billy wagering away the Jaboat, emphasizing that the lesson here is that a beauty brand probably doesn’t require a luxury boat.

Jack continues by noting that everyone present understands people are defined by more than their past failures and acknowledges Billy for accepting the roast gracefully.

Jack then expresses confidence that Sally and Billy will be wonderful parents and believes their late father, John Abbott, would feel proud of Billy’s character.

He concludes with a meaningful quote from John: “We do what we can, but we get better every day.”

Jack Said John And Delia Are With Them And Will Attend The Wedding

Jack mentions that John Abbott (Jerry Douglas) and Delia Abbott (Sophie Pollono) are joining them and will also attend the wedding.

Billy acknowledges that most of the feedback he received this evening held merit, yet he stands by his podcasting work, asserting that his hosting skills surpassed anything the group had accomplished.

Billy recognizes he’s frequently been told he could benefit from being brought down to earth a bit and praises everyone for their excellent efforts, accepting that he makes an easy target.

He expresses his contentment and confidence in facing whatever comes his way. He’s eager to begin his journey with Sally.

Victoria Reads Her Messages, Traci Likes Coco, Sally Wants Coco To Move To Genoa City

Victoria opens her messages and discovers one from “Boris,” who is actually Kyle. She quickly types out a response before being interrupted by Claire and Traci, who arrive with a beverage in hand.

Traci mentions that Coco reminds her of both her daughter Colleen and Claire; she compliments Victoria on having such a wonderful daughter and inquires about Holden.

Claire explains they’re simply enjoying each other’s company-Traci expresses her wish that Kyle would return to dating; she dislikes the thought of him being alone.

Meanwhile, Sally, Coco, and Lily are discussing business matters, and Sally reveals her interest in having Coco relocate to town and join her company.

Chelsea And Audra Fuss Over The Missing Cake, But Abby Has A Solution

Chelsea and Audra briefly disagree about the missing cake when Abby appears with a solution; Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) has graciously sent pastries from Sally’s beloved Parisian bakery.

Abby presents them, and everyone eagerly enjoys the treats. Chelsea later confides in Audra that she may have been responsible for obtaining the cake, and if so, she apologizes.

Audra responds graciously, acknowledging that the task might have actually been on her own list, and if it was, she apologizes as well.

Chelsea reflects that the party has been successful despite the various cancellations and the cake mishap;  Audra concurs: they managed things well.

Sally Goes Into Labor

Abby energizes the atmosphere by putting on music and enthusiastically invites everyone to join in dancing, and Esther Valentine (Kate Linder) makes her entrance with an unexpected companion-a professional exotic dancer named Hank (uncredited).

Sally welcomes him warmly but sets clear boundaries, stating that no additional performances will be permitted. In the meanwhile, Lily’s  test results have arrived-she excuses herself to step outside and review them privately, with Traci following close behind to check on her well-being.

The look on Lily’s face suggests troubling news rather than good news. Meanwhile, back indoors, Sally experiences sharp abdominal discomfort and begins to suspect she might be entering labor!
