Forgive me for not having at update for the week of July 8th. I was in travel mode with little to no internet connection. But just know no one killed Calvin, he died of natural causes, Adam is still Adam and everything else is pretty much the same. Oh, Victor is showing signs of memory loss.
Monday 7/15: Faith is back, it's still the same FAITH. Y'all know I get excited to see her because she is the only one aging accordingly on this show. Well, her and Sharon are having a fun after camp snack at the coffee house when Faith see's Adam and is in shock. Adam greets them while they're having their mother/daughter time. Celeste has still intervened on her daughter's space. Nick was trying to get Chelsea to open up about Calvin's death but she was trying to avoid the convo when Rey arrives at Nick's to update them on Adam.
Rey informs Nick and Chelsea that Adam attempted to implicate Chelsea for the cause of her husband's death and that Calvin was going to help Adam regain custody of his son. But now that the death has been ruled natural causes, the so called evidence that Adam gave Paul is worthless. Nick walks Rey out and tells him to keep looking into Chance Chancellor. Nick informs Chelsea that he will update Sharon on all of Adam's mess and hopefully she will be done with him too. Nick is going to support Chelsea in regards to Adam.
Lola arrives home and overhears her mother on the phone with a special someone from back home. When Lola questions about this said person, Celeste avoids telling her who it is. The person is actually Lola's dad...we will meet him soon. Later Rey arrives and she tells him her suspicions on their mother having a boyfriend and she believes that it's someone they know. As she gets excited going down a list of men it could be, Rey killed her mood and informed her that it was their dad and that he wants to attend the wedding to walk Lola down the aisle. Lola irate about how her father walked out of their lives but now wants to walk back it but Rey lets her know that it was actually her mother that put their father out after some infidelities, now Lola is more irate that their mother has lied to them. Later Lola is on the couch when Celeste walks in and questions what she was doing on the computer. Lola calls out her mother for seeing their dad and she goes off on her mother for seeing a no good man. But Celeste tries to calm her down by taking some of the blame but Lola isn't going for it. Then Lola finds out that her mother is still in love with her father. Celeste is still trying to calm Lola down by reminding her that she is still married to her father and that she has forgiven him. Celeste tells her that being with Adrian, her husband, makes her happy. Lola still ain't with it and continues to snap on her mother about her father being absent in their home all for a fling. Celeste flat out tells Lola that she is with their father and that is it. Lola tells Celeste that he's not allowed in her wedding or her life. Celeste tells Lola that she is making a big mistake.Celeste tried to convince Lola that her father loves her. But Lola tells her that her father will not use her wedding to try to fix things and the only father that she knows, Rey, will be walking down the aisle. Then Lola threatened that if her father attempts to show up at the wedding, she will call it off and her and Kyle will elope. Celeste looks lost and confused.
While Adam was trying to make small talk, Sharon decided that it was time to leave so she tells Faith to get a togo box. When Faith was away, Adam felt that it was time to inform Sharon that Chelsea was back and that she is staying with Nick, trying to be messy. Sharon handles it and her and Faith leave to visit Nick not knowing that Adam is following them. Faith and Sharon show up at the park and Faith questions her mother about why she told Adam she was meeting with her father, Sharon tells her that she didn't want Adam to know their real plans. Later Nick and Christian arrive at the park, Faith takes Christian to play while Nick and Sharon talk. Nick informed Sharon about Chelsea being back and only staying at his home due to her husband dying and how Adam tried to frame Chelsea for it and that he hopes that she sees Adam for who he is. Sharon becomes defensive and claps back that she will see Adam for who he is once he sees Chelsea for who she is. As they're arguing over pointless mess, Faith shuts them down by saying that they can hear every word they're saying then out of blue, Adam shows up (how convenient). Adam decides to take it upon himself and talk to Christian but Nick made sure that the convo stayed short then he took Christian and Faith home. Sharon confronts Adam on his behavior. She tells him not to use her to get access to Christian and he wouldn't have to use these antics if he didn't file a custody lawsuit against Nick. Adam tells her that Christian needs to get use to knowing him since he will be living with him soon. Sharon then confronts him about attempting to frame Chelsea and called him a cold hearted bastard. Adam wants to know what changed in Sharon then he leaves her standing in the park.
Nick must have stopped at Crimson Lights on the way home so that Faith could get a smoothie. Faith was inside by herself when Rey ran into her. Faith was excited to Rey, they get caught up when Rey finds out that Sharon is talking to Adam in the park. Later Rey runs into Sharon at the park and questions her about Adam. She tells him how upset she is at him, how she now sees him for the man that he really is, and that she will not let Adam get in between their relationship. Rey accepts Sharon's response and they go home. At home, Nick calls his attorney to give him the update on what Adam is up to hoping that this info will help his custody case.
Adam arrives home and Chelsea is right there waiting. Adam wants to know what he has he done now. Chelsea goes in on him about recording their conversation and turning it in to Paul. Adam tells her it was because she took Nick to see Connor and not him, he could have been there for her. Chelsea told him that Nick didn't see Connor at all. She also snaps and tells him that the Adam that loved her wouldn't set her up to go to prison, she wants to know what happened to that Adam. He tells her that he lost her and that he can't live this life without her (boy bye). Chelsea isn't falling for Adam's words and told him that he can't blame Nick or anyone for his behavior and the way she feels, he needs to take responsibility. Adam turns his back to Chelsea and told her not to come back to his home. She leaves him in his own tears.
Tuesday 7/17: Adam's return is causing Billy to have nightmares about Delia. Nick runs into Rey at the park and they discuss what business is causing Cane and Chance to work together. Nikki and Victor have coffee at Crimson Lights while discussing family and Victor's treatments. Jill and Cane have a meal at Society while discussing Cane's new job and his upcoming trip to New York with Traci. Cane informs Jill that he is the inspiration behind Traci's new book.
As Traci is packing to leave, Jack talks to her about how free she is and wishes he was more like her. Traci encourages Jack to continue to be the man that he is and right now he's only between challenges. She goes on to say that she's proud of him and she's waiting to see what he accomplishes next and she knows it's going to be epic.
Rey shares with Nick that his investigation turned up that Chance was into some money laundering and some other criminal activities. Nick can't believe it because Chance was such a stand up guy but he also hopes that this information could prove that Adam is too in some criminal activity to help with his custody case. Rey was interrupted by a phone call from Sharon, it was brief. Nick notices that Rey and Sharon are on better terms. Rey shares what Sharon has told him about what's been going on and how she see's the light when it comes to Adam. Nick only wishes that a judge will too.
Nikki suggest that the family get together excluding Adam. Victor responds about how his sons are fighting and that it's Adam's fault due to the custody battle. Nikki stands to leave and Victor stays behind.
Cane and Jill continue to discuss the book, Cane's upcoming travel plans, and family. Jill shares that she will be traveling soon as well. Billy comes strolling into Society with a look of concern on his face (probably due to the nightmare he had), Jill sees him and says good morning. Billy comes to the table and Jill shares Cane's travel plans to NY, Cane adds that he and Traci will be on the same flight and staying in the same hotel and Billy is heated, wanting to know what Cane is up to. Cane lets Billy know that he is going to be in NY for a conference and he suggested to Traci that they hang out while he is there, also his son will be there for an internship so Billy has nothing to worry about. Billy doesn't agree and he feels that this is an important trip for his sister and she doesn't need a distraction. Jill and Cane try to calm Billy down but it doesn't work, they don't know the real deal behind Billy's anger. Later Cane shows up to the Abbott house, he asked Traci if she was having any 2nd thoughts about him and this trip. Traci shares that she wants him to go, Cane shares his run in with Billy and hopes that Billy isn't trying to discourage her from the trip. She then turns the table to see if Cane has any 2nd thoughts. He doesn't so she finish packing and they head for NY.
Alone at Nick's place, Chelsea calls her mother to check on Connor but Anita wants to know about Calvin's will. Chelsea quickly ends the call and as she is fuming to herself, Victor walks in and Chelsea has the "Lord not now" look on her face. Chelsea offers Victor a drink, he declines but comments that she has made herself at home at Nick's. She claps back that he has too since he just walked into Nick's home. They discussed the phone call with Anita, how Anita kept Chelsea's whereabouts secret to keep Chelsea out of trouble, Connor, Calvin's death and Adam. After all of that, Victor then asked Chelsea if he could see his grandson. Chelsea tells Victor that she is not against them seeing each other, it just has to be done in the right way. Victor says it needs to be done immediately. Chelsea is concerned especially since they just lost Calvin and all of this mess with Adam. Victor assures Chelsea that things will be okay and that he will not discuss Adam with Connor. As Chelsea gives Victor Connor's camp address, Nick walks in wanting to know what is going on. Victor lets Nick know that he's just there to check in, Nick reminds him of Christian's upcoming t-ball game. Victor tells Chelsea that his grandkids are important to him then he leaves. Chelsea questions whether or not she should be a part of Nick's life at all. Nick tries to calm Chelsea down by letting her know that things will be okay but Chelsea doesn't feel that now is the time for her to be at any Newman functions with her kid while Adam is being an outcast.
Later, Jack and Jill (lol) meet in the park. Jill informs Jack that Cane informed her about how the Abbotts how to put Dina into a home and they continue to discuss family. Jack shares that he's been having dreams about Dina questioning him about life, Jill gives him advice on how to handle it and how she had to do the same when she was going through her divorce. Nikki strolls in and interrupts their conversation, Jill takes that as her cue to leave. Nikki and Jack sit and talk about Victor. Nikki tells him that she heard about him and Victor having a pleasant conversation and she wants to know what the change is in Jack. Jack tells her that he doesn't want to add stress to what Victor is going on now. Nikki know that Jack understands since they're going through the same thing with Dina. Jack shares that he wants to see Victor behind that desk at Newman where he belongs and to get better. Nikki is pleased to know that Jack actually cares. Later Jack meets Billy at Crimson Lights, they discuss how Jabot is doing well, Dina is okay and Billy decides that Jack just needs to get away for a while so he calls to get the jet prepared for Jack to go visit Ashley.
Wednesday 7/17: Nick and Michael meet at the coffee house to discuss the custody case, Adam's attorney has moved up the hearing to next week. As they're talking, Phyllis walks in and tries to talk to the guys but Nick shames her quickly and tells her to move on. Adam summoned Kevin to his apartment to obtain some blackmail documents to give to the judge presiding over the custody case (this old sneaky devil). Traci and Cane are in New York, they talk in the hotel hallway about their upcoming day and then they hit the streets. Billy is at the Chancellor Estate claiming to say goodbye to his mother, while holding Delia's doll, but she saw through him and knows something else is going on.
Jill can see that Billy is hurting over Delia and she tries to encourage him to stay strong by remind him of the things that he has and how Delia would want him to live.
Phyllis ignored Nick's shade then asked Michael how he was doing but Michael took that as his cue to leave the table to refill his coffee. Phyllis finally gets the point but when she gets up to leave, Nick questions her integrity and why she's working for Adam. Phyllis again ignores Nick then tries to throw shade on a hotel project that he was working on prior to Dark Horse being snatched from him. She tried to really throw shade when she told him that she will invite him to the grand opening and that she will be living in the penthouse. Nick matches her shade by telling her "too bad that you will be living alone"...good one, Nick. Later after Phyllis left, the men wonder what Phyllis is up to. Michael wonders if Phyllis will testify for Adam. Then Michael asked about Chelsea and Nick informs him that she doesn't want Adam raising his kids as well. Michael thinks they have a strong case but Nick is concerned.
Kevin tried not to take the documents but then Adam quotes Chloe's address and Kevin is in shock. Adam threatens to call the police on Chloe if Kevin doesn't stick to his plan. Kevin feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place takes the documents as Adam turns his back, feeling victorious in the moment, then makes a side comment "yeah, I should've done this a long time ago"....hmm I wonder what Kevin meant by that.
Phyllis is sitting in Dark Horse when Adam happily walks in. Phyllis questions why he is so happy and asked how many people did he cross to be in such a mood. Adam asked her how the hotel was coming along. She brings up Nick and Adam tells her that Nick will have other things to worry about since he will no longer be living with the kid he was raising. Phyllis tries to tell Adam to let the vendetta against Nick go, drop the lawsuit and allow Nick to raise Christian. Adam tells Phyllis that he thought she was smarter than to let Nick get into her head. Phyllis tells him that this is not about that, she goes on to tell him that he can't raise a kid alone, Nick has structure. Adam became defensive and said that he raised Connor but Phyllis reminded him that he had Chelsea to help then she tells him that Nick has been the only father that Christian knows and that Adam's life as a bachelor the past couple of years hasn't prepared him to be a father. Adam wasn't having anything she was saying and said that the battle will continue then he leaves the office.
Later, Traci and Cane run into each other again in the hotel lobby, Cane gave her some bagels from the place she recommended. Traci invites him into her suite, they talk about Cane's lunch with Charlie and the book release party that evening. Cane tells Traci that she will love the outfit that he will be wearing, since it is a themed 1920s event. Later, Cane and Traci surprise each other in their outfits. Traci tells him that he is dressed just as she envisioned Flynn would look. Then Cane asked if she based the character, Velma, after herself. She told him, just the sidekick part but Cane tells her that she is just as beautiful, smart and intelligent as Velma. As Cane goes giving compliments, Traci was saved from commenting by the notification ring on her phone. Later the two return after the party and Cane raves about how he had such a good time and how Traci was the life and light of the party. Then he asked Traci if she knows how much of an amazing person she is. Traci cries tears of joy and tells Cane that no one has said such nice things for her in a long time. She explains that after her daughter has passed and her husband left her, she has been living her life for others and not for herself. Cane tells her that now she can create her happily ever after and he hopes that he is around to see it, she hopes he does too. He is slowly falling for his cougar.
Jill says her goodbyes and Billy remains in the Chancellor house wallowing in this pain for Delia's death and anger for Adam when he sees the word "daddy" carved into a table in the living room, just like he saw in his dreams. Kevin walks in while Billy is staring at the table. Billy asked who did it and Kevin tells him that it looks as though it has been there for a while. Billy is still in a wonder because he thought that it was fresh. Billy questions if Kevin saw Delia do it, Kevin feels for Billy but tells him that he didn't see her do it and they reminisce about the loving child she was. Billy opens up about the nightmares he has been having. Kevin tells him that it is Adam and that his mind is playing tricks on him because of Adam. As Billy is leaving, Kevin encourages him to not let Adam get to him, then Billy leaves. Kevin then takes pictures of the evidence that Adam gave her when he received a phone call from Chloe. Kevin tells her to go an unknown place as a precaution. When Kevin goes to leave the estate, Michael shows up at the door....I don't think the judge is getting those documents. Michael wants to know what Kevin is up to and he assumes that Kevin is doing something for Adam. Kevin tries to play things off and say that he will be back with Chloe and Bella soon. Michael tells Kevin that he can't take on Adam alone but Kevin tells him that things will be just fine. Michael pushes for info but Kevin isn't budging and he told Michael that Adam has crossed the line for the last time.
Nick is sitting at the bar finishing a phone call with Rey about getting info on Adam, when Adam sits next to him. Nick tells him that he is not going to get custody and to drop the lawsuit. Adam sarcastically responds that Nick's advice was the 2nd worst advice that he has received that day. Adam tried to play games with Nick by telling him that he will give him 3 guesses as to whom wants him to drop the lawsuit but isn't interested in the games then Adam tells him that it was Phyllis. Nick tells him that he hasn't suggested anything to her or asked for her help. Adam then tells Nick that she isn't the devious person that he thinks she is, she is trying to make things right. Nick has had about enough of Adam so he gets up and lets him have it (verbally) and tells him that he will not win this lawsuit and once his team his done with him, he will not only not get custody of a kid, he won't get custody of a cactus.
Billy decides to take a run through Chancellor Park when Phyllis interrupts by asking who he was running from. Billy wants to know what she's up to and why she decided to show up to his commitment ceremony with Adam. Then he calls her just as corrupt as he is. But Phyllis responds that she may be just as devious but not as everyone thinks. Then she questions if it ever came to his mind that she may be using Adam to make everything right. Billy just tells her to do what she needs to do then he runs off.
Thursday 7/18: Jack arrives in Paris to visit Ashley. They met at a cafe to get caught up on life. Cane was up early to visit Traci in her hotel room. They look out the hotel room window and Cane makes a comment about how he could wake up to such a beautiful view daily. Traci thinks the comment is about her. Nate went to visit Devon. He told Devon that he was able to make some nice charitable contributions and make a down payment on a house since he sold the penthouse. Devon shares that he has been seeing a therapist and things are going really good and he's thinking about taking the next step with Elena. Nate questions if he's thinking about proposing. Kyle and Lola are having a quick PDA moment at Society when Theo comes in and kills their mood. Lola goes back to the kitchen while Theo attempts to apologize to Kyle for his childish shenanigans. Abby runs into Phyllis at the coffee house and tells her that she has a proposition that she might be interested in.
Devon tells him that he's not talking about proposing, he wants to ask Elena to live together as a couple rather than roommates. Nate encourages him to go for it if it makes him happy. Later Elena comes home from work and Devon shares that he thinks that they should live together. Elena smiles, tells Devon that she needs to take a shower and maybe they can discuss this while they take a walk. Devon is okay with that. Based on how they're both smiling, the answer will be yes. Later the two are strolling in the park hand and hand talking about the adjustments that they will have to make. Devon shares how happy this change will make him and how he desires for them to be close. After their walk, they are back at the penthouse and Devon tells Elena "welcome home" and they make love in "their" bedroom.
Theo is on this apologetic rant and Kyle wants to know what all of this is about. Theo wants the old Kyle back but Kyle insist that he is still the same, his priorities are just different. Theo goes on to say how he was kind of offended when Kyle told him to grow up but they're all cool now. They can still get down like they did in New York and that he can keep Kyle's secrets. Kyle is confused and asked "what secrets?" Theo being the idiot that he is says, "exactly" and laughs it off. Lola is watching from the side. Lola interrupts the guys offering to make them a meal but Summer comes in and decides to flirt with Theo in front of them then tells the crew that she has other plans for Theo then they take off. Lola sits with Kyle, she tells him that she overheard their convo and asked about how he was in NY. Kyle explains that he was a man child living in New York with a nice bank account and that he has done some things that he isn't proud of but he has grown up since then. Kyle heads off to work when Rey walked in, checked on Lola then she had to get back to the kitchen, lightly disturbed about Kyle's past. Lola comes back out with Rey's togo order and he tells her that he isn't leaving until she shares what is bothering her and he wants to know what Kyle has done. She shares that he hasn't done anything, he just has a bad boy past that she doesn't know about and that it keeps coming up. Rey tells her to trust their instincts and to ask questions then he leaves.
Abby and Phyllis sit at a table while Abby pitches her proposal to expand Society and to open it in the new hotel that Phyllis is building. Phyllis questions if doing business together would work since Abby is both a Newman and an Abbott and she isn't getting along with either family right now, plus the families would go for Abby and Phyllis working together. Abby explains that her family can't make any business decisions where Society is involves, just because they don't get along doesn't been they can't do business together. They both can make money. Phyllis tells her that she will think about it then leaves. Nate then walks in and greets Abby at the table. Nate tells Abby that he is going house hunting, he's done with living at the GCAC. Abby jokes about him doing lawn work. He invites her to go hunting with him and she accepts. Abby and Nate are at Lily and Cane's old house, they're surprised it's on the market. Nate wants to know if Cane would be okay selling it to him. Abby tells him that there's only one way to find out. He sends Cane a text asking to buy the house and he said yes. They get excited and start making out in the kitchen. Later they arrive at Society and Nate thanks her for joining him. They lightly talk about the house then Abby says that they have to get back to work. As Nate was leaving, Abby stops him and asked if he will be her plus 1 at the Newman family dinner. Nate accepts. Lola comes out of the kitchen commenting on Abby's smile, Abby shares her morning with Nate, and Lola shares that she needs to talk to her about something . Lola questions Abby about Kyle's NY days and how things are coming up with Theo. Abby shares that Theo is just missing his old running friend and how Kyle has grown and not living that life anymore. Abby shares that everyone has a past and there are some things that she wish she could go back and change but she can't. She goes on to tell Lola to not let the past get in the way of her future, then she leaves to handle some business and Lola decides to call Theo for a little chat.
Cane and Traci have breakfast in Traci's hotel living room. They share how they're having such a nice time when Traci says it's too bad that they have to get back home. Cane wonders if he can make NY his new reality. Traci questions why Cane wants to stay in New York. Cane expresses that he wants a fresh start for them and he wants to explore the possibilities when Cane gets a text notification. Traci wants to know what it is and he said it's the stars aligning for them, it was the text from Nate about buying the house. Cane is happy that the house will stay in the family, he's that things are working out then he tells Traci that he's happy that he can share this moment with her and Traci has this shocked look on her face. Traci wanted this but it seems that she doesn't know how to handle it. Cane then shares that he would like to see how things go, not next year but now. Cane apologizes for getting overwhelmed, Traci is in tears and says that it's okay but she did this. She shares how she has been having this desire for him for a while and she knew when it started. She shares how great it's been feeling to have someone pay attention to her the way he has been and how she was able to create these moments in the book. Cane is asking if this is over. Traci shares although all of this is lovely that they can only be great friends and Cane agrees and they share a friendly hug. Welp, that love story is over.
Ashley and Jack get caught up, they talk about a company tour that Ashley took him on. They lightly joke about business. Ashley then shares that she spoke with Billy and how it was his idea that Jack visit Paris and Ashley wants to know what's going on with him. Jack shares that this is just a spur of the moment vacation but Ashley isn't accepting that answer.

Ashley shares how she is handling things in Paris, especially with their mother. She suggest that they go eat chocolate and have a nice time. They share sibling hug.
Summer and Theo are frolicing in the park when Phyllis crashes their foodless picnic. Theo jumps when he sees her. Phyllis asked for time with her daughter and Theo grabs his things and leave. Summer wants to know why Summer is blowing off work to hang with a player like Theo. Summer defends her relationship with Theo but Phyllis tells her that it has to stop. Summer shares that her life is going well doing her social media influence job and she's happy. Phyllis tells her that all of her actions just means that she isn't happy and that she could be doing better things like coming to work with her at Dark Horse, Theo is now back and overhears Phyllis mention work and suggest that they do work together promoting the big hotel. Phyllis agrees and Summer gets all upset at the 10 second conversation that her mother had with Theo and rants how her mother can't focus on her for 10 minutes. Umm, her mother was trying but Summer was too busy being a brat, anyway, Summer grabs Theo and they storm off. They go to Crimson Lights to talk. Theo wants to know what Summer is up to now that Kyle has moved on and she shares that she is open to have fun. They laugh and then she leaves for a meeting.
Rey visits Phyllis at Dark Horse and he tells her that he is working on a case and he needs some info now. Rey shares that he is investigating the whereabout of Chance. Phyllis wants to know why and why he's questioning her. He tells her because she was in Vegas and he went missing right after her last visit. She shares that she was in Vegas for some R&R, when she was there she did want to talk to him about his half brother, Ronan (haven't heard that name in a while) but that Chance was nowhere to be found. Rey says okay and to let him know if something comes up. He leaves with a concerned look on his face, knowing that Phyllis is lying. Phyllis sits down like she was just caught and her lies are about to be exposed. I see some new characters coming back!!
Friday 7/19: Phyllis summoned Adam to Dark Horse to inform him of Rey's suspicion with him and Chance. Adam tells her that Rey is wasting his time because he only knows Chance through the gambling realm of Vegas. Phyllis doesn't believe him so she tells him that whatever his connection is with Chance that he better get his story straight. Chelsea is nervous about the family dinner, especially due to her past. Nikki and Victor are at Society preparing for the Newman Family Dinner. Abby and Nate arrive together and the Newman parentals are happy that they are dating. Billy and Victoria arrive and are pleasantly greeted by the parentals as well. Victor pulls Victoria to the side and wanted to discuss business but Victoria feels that they can wait but Victor shares that he read over a business deal and he thinks she may have left some things out. Victoria and Nikki both look at Victor sideways. Summer and Kyle meet at Crimson Lights to discuss business and Kyle brings up her relationship with Theo. Theo arrived at Society, responding to Lola's call and she starts to ask about the old Kyle (she should know, you don't ask questions you really don't want to know the answers to).
Summer questions why Kyle feels that she shouldn't talk to Theo. Kyle tries to tell her that she doesn't know who she is dealing with but Summer acts as if she knows it all and tells him that she used to be a wild child, she can handle Theo. Kyle accepts her responds and tells her so be it then he leaves.
Theo tells Lola that she has nothing to worry about but she won't let up. She is dead set in wanting to know about her fiance's past behavior with Don Don and Theo, so Theo said that he will spill the beans. He said that they were typical young boys doing young boys things from bar to bar and that all of this happened before he met her. Lola tells him that she got the sense that it was a lot more but this time Theo tells her that she needs to question Kyle. Little did they know Summer was eavesdropping and when Lola walked away from Theo, she approached him wanting to know if he was trying to drop bombs on Lola and Kyle's relationship. Theo shared that Lola actually summoned him and he was just telling her what she wanted to know. Theo starts kissing Summer and suggest that they to his room now but she turns him down and tells him that she is booked and he looks disappointed. Well she has the Newman dinner to attend.
Adam tells Phyllis not to attempt to talk him out of suing Nick for custody. Phyllis shares that she is only trying to help him, like he helped her get another chance then she asked again about what happened between him and Chance. Adam doesn't answer Phyllis but he is appreciative of her concern and wants to show her.
Kevin decides to break in Adam's house to return the documents and when he was about to make a phone call he was interrupted by his brother Michael wanting to know what the hell he was doing. Kevin is surprised that Michael followed him and Michael demanded to know what was going on. Kevin shares that Adam wanted to use some compromising photos of the judge to rig the case but he was going to flip the script on Adam by calling the police and informing them of Adam's plan. Michael tells Kevin that his idea is not going to work and that he didn't think things through. Michael wants to know what will stop Adam from letting the cops know that Chloe is still alive and not coming after him later. Kevin shares that he and Chloe will go to a new secured place. Michael tries to take the photos but Kevin shares that he has copies, he took pictures with his phone. Michael asked to see them and when Kevin shows him, Michael snatches the phone and deletes them. Kevin is upset (little brother style...his feelings are just hurt) and Michael tells him to let him handle it and go. Kevin obeys his big brother and leaves.
Victoria and Victor continue to talk business and Victoria defends her business deal and Victor seemed pleased then the mood shifted when Nick and Chelsea walked in. Chelsea was greeted with condolences and Victor shared his appreciation for allowing him to see his grandchildren. Abby introduced her to Nate but didn't know which last name to use (Lawson, Budeareax or Newman) and Chelsea accepted the shade and said she doesn't know which she is either. When Nate and Abby went to get drinks, Nikki felt that it was her time to shade Chelsea and she approached her saying that the last time she attended a Newman dinner, everyone found out she was engaged to Nick. Victor makes a toast and gives praises to those around the table, including showing appreciation to Billy for supporting his daughter. As he was finishing up, Adam and Phyllis shows up to the restaurant so and Adam crashes and asked his dad if he had any nice words for him. Adam wanted to know if his invitation got lost in the mail. Phyllis tried to tell Adam that now was not the time but he doesn't stop, then he started in on Chelsea commenting that her husband hasn't even been dead a week and she's already at a new family function and Nick quickly comes to her defense. Victor tells Adam to go about his business and Phyllis again tries to take Adam away from the family reminding him to back off. They leave the family table and go to the bar. The Newman offspring, Billy, and Chelsea come together wanting to know why Phyllis is being so supportive of Adam. Billy shares that she said that she was using him, Nick shares that she tried to get Adam to drop the lawsuit, and Chelsea shares that whatever it is the two of them are no good together. Later, Adam and Phyllis are watching the Newman family have dinner and Adam is jealous and makes comments about how they are acting like they are having a good time. Phyllis tells him to let things go. Adam suggest that they get take out and go back to his place but Phyllis sees Summer and declines. Summer approaches them, Adam leaves, and she tells her mother that she is making a habit of crashing Newman events. Phyllis snaps back at Summer telling her that she wants her when she needs something but once things are good, she goes back to being nasty towards her, one thing is constant, she is her mother and that is not going to change and they need to deal with things now. Back at the Newman table the family are all appreciative that the parentals have put this dinner together. Victor tells everyone thanks for coming out, he knows that they have a hard day in front of them and they can go about their day.....he's having a side effect. Victor quickly recovers by saying that he meant that they all have been working late and that he knows that they have a long day ahead of them tomorrow. The family accepts his error and they lighten the mood. Back at the bar, Summer and Phyllis are arguing about who makes the most mistakes and bad judgements of character, then Phyllis asked her why is she trying to manipulate her feelings like this. Summer claps back that she learned the manipulation from her mother and Phyllis tells her that she was a stellar pupil, then Summer storms off and rejoins her Newman family. Summer got one thing right, she does act just like her mother.
