Look at that face!<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I know. He&#8217;s a handsome guy.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: So cute. And I love his name &#8212; dominic, with a &#8220;d,&#8221; in your honor.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Right?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: That was unexpected. I didn&#8217;t &#8212; it was very special.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: My gosh. And what a crazy story. It&#8217;s like, you guys just found mariah, and then the baby&#8217;s coming.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, you have no idea. I have no idea what we would have done if I didn&#8217;t get nate on the phone to coach abby and me through everything.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, I&#8217;m sure the three of you would have figured it out.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Well, I&#8217;m glad i didn&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Lily: So, what was it like bringing a new life into this world?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: It was incredible. And, uh, abby was amazing through it all. She stayed calm and reassuring.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah. What about mariah?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I mean, what can you say about her? She was&#8230;heroic. She stayed strong through everything that she went through, from being kidnapped to trapped in a room for a weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: I am so happy that you and abby made it there in time for the delivery &#8217;cause she must have been terrified.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, yeah. It was just &#8212; it&#8217;s &#8212; it was all a blur, you know? But I will definitely never forget the feeling of just holding dominic in my arms for the first moments of his life.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Man, what a thrill to experience that.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I know. Yeah. I knew that I would feel a connection with him because of our dna, but this is just &#8212; this is something else.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, can&#8217;t we just get someone to fill in, like a bartender or something? No, no, no, we cannot go without a hostess. Okay, yeah, just &#8212; just figure it out and call me back.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Problem?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ] We are short-staffed at society. One of our hostesses called in sick.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh, bummer.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah. You know, if tessa didn&#8217;t have a gig tonight, I would ask her to pick up a shift [Chuckles] For old time&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Well, if you need someone to watch the baby, I can do it.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: No, no, that&#8217;s okay. I-I don&#8217;t want to impose.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: It&#8217;s &#8212; really, it&#8217;s not a big deal, you know? He&#8217;s crashed out, so I&#8217;d probably just be sitting here doing what I was gonna do anyway, reading a book, maybe watching a little tv.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ] That&#8217;s very sweet. I just &#8212; it feels like too much.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Abby, you&#8217;re not asking me to do anything. I volunteered. And I know you won&#8217;t make a habit of it, so&#8230; really. I&#8217;m happy to do it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Indistinct conversations ]<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh, hello.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: So glad you could make it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Hey. Well, thank you for the invite.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh, ashland, this is dr. Elena dawson. This is my fianc\u00e9 &#8212; ashland locke.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: It&#8217;s lovely to meet you.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: The pleasure&#8217;s all mine.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: You know, it&#8217;s been ages since we&#8217;ve both had two nights off in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Almost never happens.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Yeah. So we get to enjoy and relax tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Well, we have some appetizers on the way. We should probably get you some drinks.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Great idea.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Looks like the initial reviews are positive. &#8220;Newman media launch event set just the right tone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Ah. You mean not even a mention of phyllis dumping an ice bucket over that woman?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: No. I haven&#8217;t seen it mentioned yet.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You mean chanccomm hasn&#8217;t said anything?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Wasn&#8217;t that hard to suppress.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Whoa. One viral video would have undermined everything you and i were trying to accomplish, you know.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Uh-huh. Um, I actually &#8212; I have to get going. I have dinner plans.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: The meeting with northern brands? You know, that cfo had actually a rather interesting idea.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Uh, we have a video chat scheduled later this week to go over it, so&#8230; anyway, I&#8217;ll see you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Hey, son. You&#8217;re not meeting that woman, are you?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Which woman would that be?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You know, that spectra woman, whatever the hell her name is.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Sighs ] As a matter of fact, I am. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,<\/p>\n<p>Additional sponsorship<\/p>\n<p>provided by&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Jack: What a lovely surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: I probably should have called first.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Nonsense. I&#8217;m always happy to see you. What brings you by?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Well, michael was working late. He&#8217;s preparing for the sutton ames trial. And I was on my own, and i thought, &#8220;hmm.&#8221; Would you like to join me for dinner?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, I&#8217;m not sure i want to go back out, but I&#8217;d love the company. How&#8217;s chinese takeout sound?<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Ooh. Sounds delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: That woman threw a drink into phyllis&#8217;s face at an event that you and I had been planning. If I were you, I&#8217;d see to it that she seeks employment elsewhere, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Maybe phyllis had it coming.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: This a joke to you or what?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Sally let her temper get the best of her after phyllis provoked her. It was both of their faults.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Can you blame phyllis after what that woman has done to summer?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Bottom line &#8212; I&#8217;m not interested in getting involved in their personal details, okay? I&#8217;m focused on business.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: You&#8217;re focusing on monkey business. This is the second night you&#8217;re spending with this woman.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I&#8217;m not &#8220;spending the night&#8221; with her. We&#8217;re grabbing a bite. It&#8217;s a working dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Victor: Working dinner, huh? Is that what they call it now? If I were you, son, I would strategize with me how to defeat chanccomm.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You&#8217;re just &#8212; you&#8217;re just not gonna let this go, are you?<\/p>\n<p>Victor: No.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Fine. We can talk about it, but not right now because I&#8217;m late. Sally&#8217;s probably waiting for me. So I will see you tomorrow. Alright?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: What do you say later on we go back to victoria&#8217;s hot tub?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Do you want to have a nightcap?<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: You have a hot tub?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yeah, it&#8217;s just one of those above-the-ground ones.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I thought you didn&#8217;t even&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nate: This latest generation of robots gives us the kind of precision we could only dream about. Look, the nav-system uses 3-d imaging, which offers surgical teams mind-blowing, real-time mapping capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: He means there&#8217;s no lag time with the video, so we can see what we&#8217;re doing while we&#8217;re doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Sorry. I geek out a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: And this is all happening inside the patient through a tiny incision?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: It&#8217;s cutting edge of what&#8217;s possible now. And it&#8217;s the type of technology we&#8217;ll be able to purchase thanks to your generous donation.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Well, this is really exciting stuff. However &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Enough with the shop talk. Got it.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ] I&#8217;ll send you written updates on how the hospital uses the funds.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: That works for me.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: So, now that our professional lives are off the table, what should we talk about?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Anything and everything, as long as we steer clear of my situation.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Actually, there is something that I want to discuss &#8212; your wedding plans.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh. Well, um, that just happens to be my favorite subject.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughs ] I looked on ancestry and just started digging<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, the details are &#8212; well, they&#8217;re still coming together.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Sounds like you thought of everything.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Yeah, it&#8217;s like the ultimate destination wedding. An italian palazzo? How dreamy is that?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I imagine it must be a challenge trying to organize an event this elaborate from another continent?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, yes. Thankfully, my mother&#8217;s found someone there to coordinate it.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: So, tell me about the dress.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, um, I haven&#8217;t nailed down a designer yet, but I&#8217;m waiting to talk to summer&#8217;s boss &#8212; angelina marchetti. I&#8217;m not holding my breath. I know she&#8217;s really in demand. She might not have time to do it, so I might have to move on as the date approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Ugh, that is such a hard decision. Honestly, the dress is the most important part.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughter ] You laugh, but it&#8217;s true. Have you decided on a style yet?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh, nothing over the top, but at the same time, the aesthetic of the ceremony is certainly not minimalistic.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I totally get it. This wedding is gonna infuse so much joie de vivre. You need a dress that goes in line with that.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Yes! Joie de vivre. That is exactly the spirit of this event &#8212; the joy of life.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Well, well. Good evening, everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Adam.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I see you&#8217;re with sally. Maybe you&#8217;ve finally found your perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: It certainly seems you two have. I couldn&#8217;t be happier for you both.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Thank you, adam. Enjoy your evening.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You too. Sally. I&#8217;m late. I know. I&#8217;m sorry. I, um &#8212; I got held up at the office.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: It&#8217;s no problem.<\/p>\n<p>Your table&#8217;s ready. If you&#8217;ll follow me&#8230; enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Well, you get such a kick of that, don&#8217;t you? Tweaking them, not letting their little slings and arrows get to you.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Chuckles ] It&#8217;s a game. You develop a thick skin.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I think there&#8217;s a lot I can learn from you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Lily: So, tell me about the trip that amanda&#8217;s taken.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, yeah. She and naya and imani decided they need a getaway.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: What? That&#8217;s a big step for them.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: It&#8217;s a huge step. I think it&#8217;ll be a good way for them to heal some wounds. You know, this whole saga with sutton and his involvement in richard&#8217;s death has &#8212; it&#8217;s really taken a toll on them.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, I mean, those are big things to get over, but I&#8217;m glad that they&#8217;re trying to, especially as a family.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, and it meant a whole lot to amanda because they suggested it.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, I&#8217;m sure.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, where&#8217;s billy tonight?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Um, he is at home with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Nice.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: I wanted to, uh, give them some alone time. I know how much they love having their dad all to themselves. So, I get to have time with you, hang out, catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Isn&#8217;t it crazy how we have so much family stuff going on in our lives right now?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Oh, my gosh, I know, right?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: It&#8217;s wild. You&#8217;re taking care of billy&#8217;s kids. We&#8217;re both looking after moses.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Mm-hmm. It takes a village, you know, which we&#8217;re all a part of. And now dominic and his parents are, too.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah. And chance and I are technically family.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, through the katherine connection. Going strong.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: And that&#8217;s the main reason, too, why I wanted to be the donor, is so that dominic could have that connection.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, now you and chance can work together to make sure that he&#8217;s just surrounded by nothing but love, which i know is what you wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: But I&#8217;m also sensing a little shift in you since the baby&#8217;s been born?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Okay, bowie. Okay. Shh! I know! I know. I know. I know. I know. Come on, kid, you got to work with me here. I changed your diaper. I sang you a lullaby. Come on. Please. What do you need? What can I do for you, okay? You &#8212; you won&#8217;t take your bottle, so &#8212; shh. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shh. Please, I would do anything for you. I would do anything in the world for you. You know that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Sighing ] Oh, god.<\/p>\n<p>[]<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Ooh. Okay. Spicy beef for you.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Cashew chicken for you.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: That&#8217;s right!<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Fantastic. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Okay. So, you were saying?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Oh, I was saying harrison apparently loves pizza in italy even more than he loves pizza here. Summer sent me this wonderful video of him helping her cook.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Uh, &#8220;helping&#8221; being a relative term when you&#8217;re talking about a 3-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Actually, you&#8217;d be amazed. This kid is ahead of the curve. Now, they have this little place outside milan, and it has an outdoor pizza oven. And he was adding the cheese just so.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Aww. Sounds so adorable.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Most amazing thing about this kid is he is adaptable. I mean, he has adjusted to life in europe in no time flat.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Well, that&#8217;s what kids do. They&#8217;re really good at adapting. But he must miss his mom. I mean, they were so attached.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, that was the one authentic thing about that woman. She was committed to her little boy, fiercely so, it turned out.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Well, I almost felt sorry for her. I don&#8217;t think she knew what she was getting herself into, taking on phyllis.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: No, and I regret ever pressuring phyllis to lay off of her and sally, but her instincts were exactly on target, as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Yeah. Yeah. Our dear friend has a real gift for being able to read people.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: And now summer and kyle owe their happiness to her.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: That is true. And phyllis will never let them forget that.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Oh, you can bet she won&#8217;T.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Nate: So, they&#8217;re playing the processional. All the guests are standing up, looking towards the back of the church at the bride&#8217;s father, who is standing there alone in the vestibule, wondering where the heck his daughter is.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Uh-oh.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Had she fled the premises?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: No, nothing that dramatic. Apparently, she had went back to the bride&#8217;s room for something blue and told her attendants to go on ahead. Well, as she was rushing up the stairs in her high heels, she falls and twists her ankle.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh, no!<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Yes. The poor groom is dying a thousand deaths, thinking he&#8217;s been stood up at the altar.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ] Well, long story short, the bride was found. I grabbed my medical bag and taped up her ankle. The ceremony went on as planned. Unfortunately, she wasn&#8217;t able to join in on the electric slide.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughter ]<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Well, it seems like you&#8217;re the right man to have on hand in a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Always pays to have a doctor in the house. Which reminds me of the time i was a groomsman for one of my college buddies &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Alright, no more, no more, no more.<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughter ] Enough wedding horror stories. That&#8217;s the last thing we need to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, I could tell a few of my own, so this is good. I&#8217;m taking notes on how to avoid disaster so that our day will be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Mwah!<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I am really glad that we downshifted from a date to a working dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: You are, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yeah. And we can ignore all those &#8220;what not to do on a date&#8221; rules. Like, I wore my comfy shoes. And you were 20 minutes late.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Okay, those are not comfy shoes. And I&#8217;m sorry about that.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: It&#8217;s fine. Really. This is exactly what I&#8217;m talking about. It&#8217;s better than if you bailed. And I&#8217;m guessing there was pressure on you to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Um&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yeah, that&#8217;s what i thought. It&#8217;s fine. Really. This is not my first time hanging out with a real sob &#8212; son of a billionaire&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Sally: &#8230;Who didn&#8217;t realize he was one growing up.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Really? You don&#8217;t say.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Yeah. There&#8217;s a lot more of you out there than you might think. You could start a club. Or a support group.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Uh, I think that we should get down to business. Did you, um &#8212; you bring some sample designs?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Mnh-mnh. You&#8217;re gonna have to wait on that &#8217;cause I&#8217;m starving since you were &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Yes. Late. Sorry&#8230;again.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Cooking podcasts. I&#8217;m obsessed.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Oh, my god.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckling ] Me too!<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes! The more complicated, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: What? I didn&#8217;t know you liked to cook.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: No, I hate it. I&#8217;m terrible.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Oh, don&#8217;t listen to her. She makes a fine grilled cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, I mean, only if I&#8217;m really paying attention, but if I try to get too fancy, then forget it.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I totally get that.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: It&#8217;s like that, you know, fantasy element, creating the perfect dish with that wild presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Like an edible flower sprinkled on a plate?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Yes, exactly that.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I&#8217;m an okay cook, and I kind of enjoy it, but, honestly, who has the time?<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I&#8217;m lucky if I can heat up my takeout before devouring it.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Elena: And my former roommate, the chef, would be appalled if she saw the way I&#8217;ve been eating lately.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Mnh, I beg to differ. Lola would be impressed as hell with what you&#8217;re doing with your time. You&#8217;re making a huge difference in a lot of lives.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, I am gonna go freshen up.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: I think I&#8217;m gonna join you.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: That&#8217;s the face of a man who knows precisely how lucky he is.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I certainly do.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Amanda asked me that same question &#8212; if I regret stepping up to be the donor or, you know, a part of dom&#8217;s extended family. And my answer is no. I knew how important it was for abby and chance to start a family, and I&#8217;m still happy that I was able to help them do it.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, so am I, but you know if your answer were different, I wouldn&#8217;t judge you, right?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, of course I do.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: &#8216;Cause I know what it&#8217;s like to be in abby&#8217;s shoes, you know, needing a surrogate. So I know the thoughts that can go through your head, and I want you to know I&#8217;m here if you ever want to talk about any of it.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I don&#8217;t know. Just when I think of that first moment that I held dominic and when I heard him take his first few breaths, you know, in life, I &#8212; I just remember I had that thought and that feeling of, &#8220;this is it, and this is &#8212; this is what it&#8217;s really like to be a father.&#8221; And, you know, it just brought up a lot of emotions.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, well, especially &#8217;cause you should have been a father awhile ago. You know, how could you not think about hillary and the baby that you lost?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah. I mean, I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s smiling, looking down, proud.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: But you miss her&#8230; and your baby.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: And I want you to know that you can talk to me about any of that, as well. You know, I &#8212; I won&#8217;t make it about my own feelings of guilt. I just &#8212; I just want to be here for you, if you&#8217;ll let me.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I appreciate that. I do.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ]<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Mariah? Mariah, hey, uh, I found someone to come in to work, so you&#8217;re off the hook. Mariah? Okay, uh, maybe &#8212; maybe she&#8217;s, uh, feeding him, uh, or rocking him. Mariah? Mariah? Not touching is still touching protection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The young and the restless&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>will continue.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Was it wrong of me to want the forresters to include my designs in their couture collection out of sympathy, knowing I was at death&#8217;s door? Maybe. Yes. But it didn&#8217;t hurt anyone, right? I mean, especially since those designs were good.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: If you do say so yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Ridge and eric are businessmen first. They would not have included them otherwise. And if they actually made it down the runway, I believe they would have been huge sellers. It would have been a win-win for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I mean, when you think about it, you were doing them a favor.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: You know what? When it comes to my career, i refuse to be humble. I am one hell of a good designer. I just have the unfortunate tendency of getting in my own way, which I am working on. And I have a feeling you can relate.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Sighs ] You&#8217;re not wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Harrison seems to be quite taken with gelato.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Chocolate and vanilla. Good man.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: You have kids?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Not yet, but, um, someday hopefully. I&#8217;ve learned that, uh, you can&#8217;t always make firm plans when it comes to your personal life.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: The way you said that &#8212; have you ever been married?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I was engaged once. Uh, she passed.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Oh, I&#8217;m sorry to hear that.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: It makes even more sense now, why you don&#8217;t react to me the way others do since my diagnosis. You don&#8217;t have that same squeamishness or distance that i sense in others. I assumed it was because you&#8217;re a doctor, but there&#8217;s more to it. You&#8217;ve gone through your own personal loss and grief. You don&#8217;t see it as foreign or frightening.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Ah. They seem to be getting along well.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: You know, nate stepped up for ashland in a big way after his first chemo session. He brought him home. He let him talk. He gave him some really good advice. He&#8217;s a good man.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Yeah. He is.<\/p>\n<p>[ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Let&#8217;s see. &#8220;I cannot help you, for I am only a cookie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: It does not say that!<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Oh, no, it doesn&#8217;t say that. Let me see. We&#8217;ll play a little trombone here.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: [ Laughs ]<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Uh, &#8220;your love life will soon be happy and harmonious.&#8221; Oh, we can only pray.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Well, and you deserve that to come true.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I don&#8217;t know about that.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Yes, you do.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I am thrilled, though, that summer and kyle have found their way back to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Yeah. What&#8217;s the update on their wedding?<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Well, they are planning a small civil ceremony in italy, in contrast to what ashland locke and victoria are planning.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Right, and quite a contrast from what kyle and summer were planning, as well, before all this craziness happened and they got derailed.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You know what? I&#8217;m glad they took things down a bit. I think they learned a lesson. They have everything they need to be happy right now, without all the extras.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Mm. And what about you, my friend? Do you have everything you need to be happy?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: So, how is abby dealing with chance being gone now that the baby&#8217;s here? I know having a family was their dream. It must be so hard for her to not have him here to share that with her.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, of course it is. She&#8217;s &#8212; she&#8217;s just staying strong and trying to keep the faith that he&#8217;s gonna come home to her soon.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: And you took my advice, right?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: About what? Not ragging on chance in front of her?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah. I mean, I know that you were resenting him for not being here when she needed him.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, yeah, no, I &#8212; I told you I wasn&#8217;t gonna say that to her. It was just the last thing she needed to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: And now?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I mean, now I just kind of feel sorry for him &#8217;cause there&#8217;s a lot of big moments that have happened that he&#8217;s never gonna get back. And I think when he&#8217;s home, it&#8217;s really gonna hit him hard.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Does he even know he has a son?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: He&#8217;s gone deeper undercover, and we can&#8217;t get any messages to him. So I started to wonder if maybe it&#8217;s safer that he doesn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, look, I&#8217;m sure when he gets home, he&#8217;s gonna be very grateful to you for looking after abby and his son.<\/p>\n<p>[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Hey, abby. What&#8217;s up?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Hey, have you heard from mariah?<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Not recently. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: I had to go in to society for a bit, and mariah offered to watch dom, but I got home and they are gone. There&#8217;s no note or anything.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: I assume you called her cellphone. Did it just go to voicemail or what?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Well, she left her phone at home. That&#8217;s weird, right? I mean, I&#8217;m trying not to freak out, but &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah, no, don&#8217;t freak out. Don&#8217;t freak out at all. Um, just give me a minute, and I&#8217;ll be right over, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Abby: [ Sighs ]<\/p>\n<p>Devon: So, abby got back home from work, and mariah and the baby aren&#8217;t where she expected them to be.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Well, no. Go, please. You need to be there.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Okay. Thank you. Will you lock up before you go?<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah, of course, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Okay. See you later.<\/p>\n<p>Lily: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>[ Door closes ] Now, we all know progressive offers 24\/7 protection,<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I thought you were gonna stop pestering me about my romantic life &#8212; or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: When did I agree to that?<\/p>\n<p>[ Laughs ] Come on. I&#8217;m just checking in.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah, sure.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: I know that you had a really amazing time having kyle and harrison here. The house must feel very quiet without them.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Oh, boy, does it. I got used to all the noise and commotion and excitement, looking forward to the holidays, having a funny, happy kid like harrison around for halloween. Boy, it doesn&#8217;t get better than that.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe they can come for a visit.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: Yeah. I mean, sure they can. I&#8217;m still gonna have to get used to all the quiet in this house. And all the extra time I have on my hands. You know, thank god I&#8217;ve got work. I can pour myself into jabot and the abbott-winters foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: Right, but that&#8217;s for your mind. You need something to fill your heart. You need a passion, and it doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to be romantic.<\/p>\n<p>Jack: You know what? I have come to the conclusion that I&#8217;ve had my share of grand passions. Now looking after harrison, being &#8220;grandpa&#8221; &#8212; that&#8217;s what fed my heart. Soothing his little worries, exciting his imagination, teaching him the things that my father taught me. I mean, I can do those things over the phone, some of them, but it&#8217;s just not the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Lauren: You know, I&#8217;ve never thought of being a grandparent in those terms. The way you talk about it, it sounds very appealing. Of course, my sons aren&#8217;t even close to settling down, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Jack: I&#8217;m telling you, the day is gonna come, and when it does, trust me &#8212; you are gonna love it.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: I have a lovely cabernet in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Sounds great. I&#8217;ll help you.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Please.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: So, uh, will victoria&#8217;s kids be going to italy for the wedding?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Oh, you know, I&#8217;m hoping that they can make it. Tuscany is absolutely gorgeous in the fall, and I&#8217;d love for them to see it.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Yeah. I, um &#8212; I went there with my mother when I was young. Still remember it. We went all over &#8212; tuscany, umbria, le marche.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Nice.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I also saw quite a bit of europe when I was in boarding school. But I haven&#8217;t been back since.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Why don&#8217;t you and elena join us at the wedding? Victoria and I would love to have you there. Uh&#8230;I know it might be a little presumptuous, and you can clearly say no, but, uh&#8230; I-I-I&#8217;d &#8212; I&#8217;d like for you to be my best man.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Wow, uh, that&#8217;s, uh, quite generous of you. Are you sure? I mean, we&#8217;re still getting to know each other.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: No, you know, I&#8217;ve always been able to size up people pretty quickly. You are a brilliant and kind man who has a &#8212; a deeper understanding of what I&#8217;m going through than most and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nate: I&#8217;m sure you have friends in new york you could ask.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Yeah, I&#8217;m sure, but, I mean, to be quite honest, they&#8217;re mostly people I&#8217;ve met through work. The connections were more professional than personal, you know? I&#8217;m just not in that world right now. And, quite frankly, most people are clearly having a difficult time with my medical situation. Anyway, just think about it. There&#8217;s no pressure. I-I-I-I would love to have you and elena join us for the ceremony. It&#8217;s gonna be a blast.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Joie de vivre.<\/p>\n<p>[ Both laugh ]<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: From beginning to end.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Oh, my god. Hi. Where have you been?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh, uh, bowie &#8212; sorry &#8212; uh, dominic was crying his head off, and I had no idea what to do. So I called the pediatrician, and he said that going out for a walk might help. And look. It worked.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Okay, I-I just, um &#8212; you didn&#8217;t leave a note or &#8212; you didn&#8217;t bring your phone. I mean, I had no way of getting a hold of you.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh. Sorry. Yeah. I &#8212; when the baby cries, my brain short-circuits. It must be the hormones. But, um, everything is fine. I&#8217;m sorry if you got worried.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: It&#8217;s just, the last time you disappeared with the baby, I mean, you were gone for three weeks. I almost called the police.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Oh. Again, I&#8217;m &#8212; I&#8217;m really, really sorry, but we were just out for a walk on the grounds. That&#8217;s all. No need for alarm.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Yeah. Hi, baby. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I like the simplicity of the lines. And yet there&#8217;s a &#8212; there&#8217;s a richness to it. You have a specific bride in mind, which is a good thing. Even though, uh, victoria might not be inclined to choose a design from a woman who works for the company that&#8217;s owned by her black-sheep brother.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: So, that&#8217;s it, huh? Just enough commentary to prove that it was a working dinner in case anyone asks?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Is there something more that you want me to say?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I&#8217;m just mainly curious as to why you agreed to come out with me since we&#8217;ve established this was not a date, but also really wasn&#8217;t about work. We could have had this five-minute conversation in the office.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: I mean, isn&#8217;t it obvious at this point? I&#8217;m here for the scintillating conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: Or maybe you were hoping that the news of this non-date would get back to someone in particular and make them jealous?<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Oh! Maybe you were hoping that jack would hear about it.<\/p>\n<p>Sally: [ Sighs ] You know, I actually haven&#8217;t thought about him once since we sat down.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Sally: I was too busy enjoying myself. And whether or not you want to admit it, I think you have been, too.<\/p>\n<p>Adam: [ Chuckles ]<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Well, thank you for a wonderful evening.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, we&#8217;re really glad that you could join us. It&#8217;s been a wonderful change of pace.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: Yes, it has. We&#8217;ll have to do this again soon. And you will get back to me at some point?<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Definitely.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: You guys get home safely.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: Alright.<\/p>\n<p>Elena: Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Nate: You have a good evening.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: You do the same. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>[ Exhales heavily ]<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I&#8217;m fine. I may have to take it easy tomorrow, but it was worth it to have an evening like this.<\/p>\n<p>Victoria: Well, I hope we have many more like it.<\/p>\n<p>Ashland: I will do my best to give us that.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: Sorry. It was a false alarm. Mariah just took the baby out to get some air, and she thought she&#8217;d be back before anyone noticed.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Devon. Hi. I&#8217;m &#8212; I didn&#8217;t realize that abby called you. I&#8217;m sorry if this ruined your evening.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Oh, no, you didn&#8217;t ruin anything at all. But I&#8217;m gonna text lily and let her know everything&#8217;s okay.<\/p>\n<p>Abby: And I am gonna bring this little guy to bed. Be right back. Come on, baby. Let&#8217;s go.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: I apologize. I-I just didn&#8217;t want to bother abby at work, and I figured i could handle it on my own. Then the baby started crying his head off. I had no idea what to do. I was worried that he might be sick or something, so I even called the pediatrician.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: You did exactly what you were supposed to do. What did he say?<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Well, he said that a walk sometimes can lull a baby to sleep, so I tried it, and it did the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Nice.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: But I just &#8212; I got so panicky and flustered, I-I forgot my phone, and I am kind of embarrassed. I crumbled under the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: It doesn&#8217;t sound like that&#8217;s what you did. It sounds like you asked an expert for advice and then you did exactly what the baby needed and everything worked out fine. I&#8217;m actually happy that you were with dom and you followed your natural instincts.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah: Man, this being a mom thing is not for wimps. It&#8217;s a lot harder than it looks.<\/p>\n<p>Devon: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/24\/yrtrans\/\">Back to the Y&amp;R Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Transcript Transcript provided by Suzanne Lily: Oh, my gosh!
