Nick and Sharon Plan Wedding

Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Sharon (Sharon Case) arrive on the rooftop, waiting to meet with their wedding coordinator, Randy. Summer (Hunter King) spots the intimate moment between the two, admitting to Kyle (Michael Mealor) that if she didn’t dislike the woman so much, she’d actually feel sorry for her after learning Nick cheated on her with her own mother, Phyllis.

Phyllis is surprised it has come to this, but Michael feels if she didn’t see this coming than Lauren is right to be concerned about her loyalty. Billy took on a secret project and she seems more than willing to have faith that this is a brilliant idea. Michael confronts her, asking if she is only backing him because she recently reconciled with Billy and is worried about upsetting him. She feels Billy’s boutiques are the new trend where Fenmore’s is “tried and true”, making them two completely different markets.

Michael Upset Phyllis Is Siding With Billy

Michael reveals that Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) told him Phyllis is siding with Billy (Jason Thompson), demanding how she could betray Lauren, as her friend and boss? She defends Billy’s actions, but Michael doesn’t care. He tells her if she was being objective she would see what is truly going on with Billy. Phyllis bites back, advising him to not fight his wife’s business battles. Michael informs her that he is speaking as Lauren’s attorney and she has a solid case that Billy is being negligent towards Fenmore’s, one of Jabot’s key partners, and breaching their contract.

Michael says the fact remains that Billy is out of control. Phyllis promises to talk to Billy and get the reassurance that Lauren’s business won’t be affected. Michael takes her at her word that she will start acting in the best interest of her REAL employer. Phyllis talks about him defending Lily (Christel Khalil). Despite his personal feelings, he doesn’t believe Lily should go to prison and wishes Devon could see past his grief. Phyllis stands firm, saying Devon is right and understands if he never lets this go. Michael questions her on whether Hilary (Mishael Morgan) would have wanted her death to leave this kind of legacy.

Kyle Tells Summer She Is Delusional

Kyle insists Summer is delusional, reminding her that Nick and Sharon are planning a wedding while Phyllis and Billy worked things out. She feels that doesn’t mean they should. Meanwhile, Nick and Sharon are interrupted by Victor (Eric Braeden), who is amazed Nick has time to plan such an elaborate wedding when trying to launch a new business.

Summer calls her mother a hypocrite, feeling Phyllis’ cheating is a thousand times worse than Billy hiding his gambling. Kyle wants to know what she is going to do with the explosive information.

Kyle reminds her she did the exact same thing to him and maybe she should figure out her own stuff. Summer thinks Kyle simply wants her to give up on Billy and have sex with him; Kyle says he would be find with losing this bet as it would work out great for him, job-wise.

Victor and Nick Spar

Victor tells Nick he is being dishonest with himself if he thinks he can pick and choose the time to devote to his business. Nick promises, after watching Victor all these years, he is not going to let business run his life. Victor is disappointed Nick has turned his back on everything he has worked for to leave the legacy to his children and grandchildren. Nick states part of the reason he started Dark Horse is to erase the damage Victor has done to the Newman name and wants to give his children a company they can be proud of. Victor reminds him, he started the business by lying and stealing and pretending to be JT (Thad Luckinbill).

Nick is distracted, but quickly apologizes for Victor getting into his head. Sharon brings the food samplers into the private area on the patio, which Nick thinks is a great idea.

Michael comes to see Lily, not sugarcoating anything. He doesn’t think it is fair for her to spend years behind bars, but it really isn’t up to him.

Sharon Tells Victor He Cannot Use Her

Sharon runs into Victor, who understands that Nick wants to do things differently, but there are certain rules for big businesses that he can’t ignore. He says to be successful in big business, they have to eat it, live it, breath it, and sleep it. Sharon insists Victor cannot use her to play head games with Nick. He says he is impressed with Nick and wishes him the best.

He learns both Faith and Christian are doing really well, saying he missed moments with the children, but building a successful business makes you miss out on those things. As he leaves, he asks Sharon to kiss Christian from his grandfather and while she is at it, give him a kiss from his father. Sharon looks worried.

Michael Tells Lily She Should Be Worried

Lily is trying hard to be realistic as Michael says she should be worried. He says her pleading “guilty” has helped with Christine (Lauralee Bell) looking favorably on this. She may get a light sentence lose her license, face a fine, probation, community service and possibly being confined to her home, only being able to go to work and come home.

    Sure wished Billy got the truth from Kyle about the night Phyllis spent with Nick. That would give Billy the thought that Kyle had his back, and Summer really did have his as well.
