Monday 8/12: Abby and Phyllis meet up at Society to meet up on plans regarding Abby's restaurant at the new hotel when Theo shows up. He makes a comment about being surprised to see Abby early based on last night's events. Phyllis is curious to know what happened. Chelsea called Nick to inform him that things were okay as of now and for him not to worry (you know since she stayed the night with Adam) as they were on the phone, Connor and Adam come down the stairs talking so she ended the call. Connor is trying to understand and comprehend everything with Adam, Chelsea sends him for breakfast and Adam thanks Chelsea for allowing him to see him. Chelsea said that it may be good for them to see each other and Adam tells Chelsea that he will not mess things up. Adam then suggest that the 3 of them spend the day together and Chelsea agrees. They talk about how they should move forward, putting Connor first. Then Adam kills the vibe by asking for Connor to live with him. Victor is at Newman in his office when he begins to get light headed and you can see the worry of his face.
Abby thought they were there to talk business, Theo throws shade and brings up Summer and now Phyllis is really curious so she sent Summer a text. Phyllis finds out what happened and then tried to come for Abby but Abby reminded Phyllis that she is the queen of unprofessionalism, then Theo added how this drama could be good for business and the women give him a side-eye. Abby brings up Theo's actions from the night before and they bicker but Phyllis stops them, dismisses Theo by giving him an assignment, Abby tells Phyllis that she can't trust him and she doesn't know why Lola even invited Summer knowing that she would do nothing but cause trouble and Phyllis accuses Abby of being jealous of Summer. Then the 2 women argues about Summer and Phyllis makes a comment that she doesn't think that she wants to do business with someone who doesn't have respect for her and Abby reminds her that 99% of the town doesn't respect Phyllis then Phyllis storms off mad.
While big Vic is behind his desk, Nick drops in and they discuss Nick's new business. Nick tells his father that Victoria actually did the deal but Big Vic wants to know why he turned down Victoria and Nick shares that he doesn't want to send the message of hate and revenge to his kids then Nick asked for the slate to be wiped clean between them both, Vic agrees then the convo switches to Vic's health and Nick's custody battle with Adam. Victor is regretting his decision to bring Adam back from Vegas. Victor says that he needs to take action and tells Nick that it's best that he not know. Later Big Vic makes a phone call telling someone to put a rush on things and that his grandson's future is at stake.
Chelsea tells Adam that she understands that they are bonding but she isn't allowing him to move in with him. Adam starts talking about how he has missed so much of Christian's life and how he needs him full time but Chelsea reminds him that is not her fault and she brings up the ways that Adam can ruin everything and she tells him that she will not let him turn Connor into the man that he is, a manipulative evil person. Adam wants to know if she really thinks he will hurt Connor like that and she reminds him what he is doing to Nick and Christian. Then Adam threatened to take her to court and Chelsea told him to bring it. Adam tries to bring up Chelsea's wrong doing but it's not phasing her. She pleads not to go down this path when Connor interrupts and see that something is wrong but Adam quickly calms him down by telling him that they are just sad that the visit is over and that they will see each other soon. Chelsea arrives home (Nick's) with Connor and he is upset about why they can't live with Adam then he tells Chelsea that she is trying to keep him and his father apart (the boy is already acting like his daddy). Chelsea is still arguing with Connor about why they can't live with Adam when Nick happily comes in to greet them, Connor backs away from Nick then tells Chelsea that now he understands why she wants to keep him from his father but when Chelsea tries to respond, the boy screams "I don't care" then storms off (that right there would get his little behind snatched up quick....you better watch who you talking to). Chelsea thinks she should go talk to him but Nick tells him that he needs time, he has a lot to process, he lost Calvin, he just found out his father is alive, he needs to make sense of everything and it doesn't help that Adam had time to get into his head over the night. Chelsea talks about how the night went, their bond and even how Adam had Connor's room all set up. She even saw a glimpse of the past. Chelsea talks about how Adam is a sociopath and she is running out of options to protect her son. Nick wants to know if she is planning on running again. Nick tells Chelsea that this time he understands if she leaves but Chelsea said that if she leaves now Connor will only find his way back and hate her more and she hopes that Adam's love for Connor is more than his anger for the world.
Devon was leaving his home when he runs into Adam at the elevator. They briefly get caught up but Devon makes a comment of being able to tell the difference between a truth and a lie, Adam responds that you have to trust your instincts then offers a business deal to Devon (I am sure that this has something to do with Nick's properties). They move the convo into Adam's apartment, they briefly talk about Neil then Adam suggest that Devon purchase the new hotel.
Abby goes to visit her dad at his office and they discuss Nate and how he's a good man. Abby told him not to get his hopes up because she doesn't know where they stand after last night.

Phyllis tells Adam that she is glad that he is in a good mood, Adam tells Phyllis that this is her last day, Phyllis responds that she is still working on the money to buy the hotel then Adam tells her that he offered it to Devon and Phyllis is shocked. Adam tells her that Devon didn't take the offer but for her to keep packing because Dark Horse is over. Phyllis tells Adam that he's nothing but a lonely man sitting on a pile of money. Adam corrects her by saying that he's a man sitting on a pile of money with 2 sons that will be watching from the top.
Tuesday 8/13: Lola is at home baking while Rey is visiting. The two are discussing the wedding. Phyllis went to visit Devon in his home regarding the hotel.

Phyllis questions Devon about his possible interest in the hotel and Devon explains all of the business reasons as to why he didn't purchase it and probably won't purchase it. Phyllis pleads with Devon, even bringing up Neil, and Devon let her know not to use his father's legacy that way. She apologizes then goes on to plead and beg but Devon shuts her down. Later Phyllis goes to Society and she apologizes to Abby for their previous encounter and pleads to go into business again. But Abby claps back all of the things that Phyllis said to her in their previous encounter but Phyllis tries to fluff over that then Abby realizes something is up and wants to know what she's up to. Phyllis explains that they would be lucky to work together and they can accomplish some really great things and Abby still ain't believing it. Abby realizes that Adam fired Phyllis and she is just looking for a job. Phyllis responds that she wasn't fired, she severed their working relationship but then she informed Abby that Adam is trying to sell the hotel and this would be a great opportunity for her and that she can run the place for her, then she list all of the ways she can help Abby make the hotel a buzz of the city. Abby said that she buy the hotel from Adam and she might keep Phyllis on as manager under one condition. Abby told her that she needs some skin in the game and to come up with 20%. Phyllis asked for time to come up with the money. Abby tells her that once she has cash in hand, come find her.
Rey and Lola continue to talk, Rey offers to help and will talk to Kyle. Lola excitedly shares the honeymoon plans and Rey loves on his sister and glad that she survived her accident. Later Lola is done baking and she and Rey continue to talk but this time they're talking about their mother and how Jack is planning to bring Celeste back to GC for the wedding. Rey comments how if they're mother shows up, she better not show up with a plus one. As he said this Lola was going through the mail and sees a letter written to her from their father. Lola reads the letter from her father, he apologizes, wants to be there for her on her wedding day but will respect her wishes. Lola cries and tell Rey that she can't do this. Rey reads the letter and tells Lola they she doesn't owe him damn thing. Lola agrees and she told him that if Adrian, their father, shows up she will call off the wedding. She talks about how she has been calling her mother over and over again but not getting an answering and now she is doing the same thing to her father. She goes on to say that she can't have her father at the wedding without her mother. Rey questions what she really wants.
Anita and Chelsea continue to talk and Chelsea is still suspicious of her mother and the fact that she turned the money down. Anita explained that she just wanted to do the right thing but Chelsea isn't falling for it and she said that she will seek for answers and won't stop until she finds out what Anita is up to then Anita admitted the Calvin left her something as well. Chelsea didn't believe it because Calvin was only civil with her mother, then Anita admitted that she stole some things and that Calvin was doing some non legit business dealings and he kept the money in a storage unit and not in the bank so when he passed, her and her lawyer kept the money. Chelsea questions the amount and the total off the books assets came up to $5 mil. Chelsea is upset because but her mother tried to say that she took to protect her and Chelsea dismissed her. Anita said that she will head back to Baton Rouge but still tried to explain to Chelsea that she was trying to protect her but Chelsea wasn't having it. Later Darrell, the attorney, shows up to Nick's, with bags of money that Anita told him to bring as a peace offering. Darrell also provides an addendum to the will including the storage units and its contents and she signs it. Chelsea looks at the suitcases and Darrell tells her that she may need to wash the money a few times and Chelsea responds that it's just like her mother. Chelsea gives Darrell one of the suitcases and tells him that it's for him and Anita to split. Darrell leaves a happy man.
Adam arrives at Victoria's and she informed him that Christian isn't feeling well. He asked if he could visit him there but Billy shut that down. Adam leaves but tells Victoria that he will contact her to reschedule the visit. After he leaves, Victoria was surprised that Adam took no for an answers but Billy tells her that they can't keep coming up with things to keep him from seeing Christian and the the courts will figure something out. But Victoria sees less time visiting as a small victory. Later, Billy and Victoria take the kids to the park (really, you just told Adam that his kid was sick and you take him out in public and the park at that). Victoria brings the kids ice cream as Billy leaves to head to the office and guess who pops up to see them all out having fun, yes Adam. The boys, Johnny and Christian, run to play and then Adam comes out of nowhere and starts talking to Christian. Then Adam tells him that daddy may look a little different with bruises but Christian takes off running. By this time Nick shows up and Victoria points out Adam. Nick confronts Adam and Adam responds that he's supposed to have a visit but that Victoria is playing games. While the Newman brothers argue, Victoria calls out for Christian but gets no response. The guys stop their argument and run to help her find the child. Nick is running all over the park looking for Christian, Elena was taking a run and offered to help but guess who found him, yep Adam, but Christian yells for him to go away. Adam apologizes for scaring him earlier, then Christian pops his head out. Adam pulls out the soccer ball and they begin to play (I mean he could have told the others that he found him). Nick calls out for Christian and he stops his play to look in Nick's direction and Adam looks defeated. Nick continues to call out and Adam responds to where they are, Elena arrives first then Nick and Christian yells Daddy to Nick as Nick swoops him up in his arms. They then leave Adam standing there alone as Nick says, see ya buddy. Adam stands there with another crazy look....what is he up to next.
Wednesday 8/14: Ashley arrives at the Abbott mansion looking for Jack but ran into her daughter instead. Jack went to Newman to visit Victoria but got Victor instead and he informs Jack that she is busy in meetings. Adam was at home when he received a letter from a carrier, went he opened it, the documents were court documents. He reviewed them, immediately called Michael and informed him that he got court papers stopping his visitation with Christian and on top of that there's a restraining order (ha ha). Devon and Elena arrive home from a morning run, Elena shares the events in park regarding Christian when she receives a phone call from Nate asking if she can meet him to talk. Lola is up staring at the letter from her father. She shares the letter with Kyle and she has made a decision regarding her father wanting to be at her wedding.
Lola explains to Kyle how the letter brought up a lot feelings and she doesn't want to be pulled back into the past by a man who has done nothing but disappoint her. Kyle comforts her by pretending to be at the altar and saying vows that he promises to never disappoint her and she plays his game by telling him that he can kiss the bride (how cute).
Devon walks a showered Elena to the elevator, once she leaves Adam opens his door and tells Devon that he was hoping to see his girlfriend and talk to her about the events at the park, for her opinion on the matter. Devon lets him know that she wasn't home but that they can talk, he would like to shed his light on something (oooh, Devon is salty). Devon warns Adam to stay away from Elena and that he doesn't need his girlfriend caught in the battle between him and his brother. Adam has his usual come back that he's not the bad guy, Nick is. Then Adam tells Devon about the restraining order and what Victoria did and that all he wants is a chance to be his father and how Nick is in the way. Devon claps back that he's only being selfish and not putting Christian's needs first, Adam tries to tell Devon that he doesn't know what he's talking about but Devon cuts him off and tells that he actually does know and he can either listen or he will leave (Devon can relate to Christian). Devon explains how he grew up without a father then to end up having two dads helped him become a strong man today. Adam talks back about how all of this can happen when he and his brother don't get along but Devon reminds him why they don't, it's because he started this whole custody problem. Adam whines again about the restraining order but Devon questions how Nick could pull that off when the judge removed Christian from his home and gave him supervised visitation. Then Adam has an aha moment and realizes that Nick doesn't have that kind of power, his father does.

Jack shares some insight on the father/son relationships and that he should throw Adam a lifeline, that Adam is just trying to get his life back. Victor tells Jack that he tried and Adam didn't want it and that he has gone about things the wrong way and now it's time to teach him a lesson.

They argue about Adam's actions since he's been back then Adam sarcastically apologizes but Victor tells him no more chances. He gave him a second chance and he blew it. Then Adam asked if he regretted bringing him back and Victor responds by telling him, more than he knows. Victor tells Adam that he needs to get out of town, Adam tells him that he isn't going anywhere. Victor tells him that he will live to regret it. Adam responds by telling Victor that the hate in his voice will be his motivation to get his kids back and to get back at the family so he hopes that he's ready for this fight then he leaves.

Lola admits that she's nervous and wants to keep him around and Kyle tells her that she is stuck with him forever. Summer meets up with Theo at Society and she jokes that Abby isn't around to start a fight. The two briefly talk about Phyllis and their elevator fun, then Summer questioned what was his speech all about at the joint party and wants to know what secret he is keeping. She threatens him with no sex until he tells (so typical). Mariah and Tessa are at Crimson watching a video when Sharon approaches them and they talk about the party as well as the video they were watching, it was Tessa performing at the party. The ladies apologize to Sharon for not telling her that it was a joint party. She accepts and then excuses herself to see customers on the patio when she runs into Rey.

Sharon and Rey talk about the wedding and how they were supposed to be attending as a couple not as single people.
Kyle and Lola frolic around on the couch but Kyle stops before they get too far but Lola keeps seducing him. Kyle is being the strong one and attempts to leave but Lola tries her best to keep him there, even suggesting they put up a curtain to separate them. Kyle suggest that they stay on the phone all night while he's at the pool house. She finally accepts and he tells her the next time he sees her she will be walking down the aisle. They express their love for one another then he leaves. An anxious Lola goes to the coffee house and runs into Mariah and Tessa, they talk about the party and Lola gets frantic about the events from the party and looks at it like an omen. She continues to panic, showing wedding jitters and Mariah does her best to calm her down. They take a quick trip down memory lane, how the two fell in love with each other, and how they are meant to be with each other. Lola thanks the ladies for making her feel better and she tells them how Genoa City has changed her life, new job, new family, and she's happy.
Summer continues to beg to know what went on in NY and wonders why it's such a bad secret but Theo wouldn't budge. Then she said that she will do what she can to find out herself and then she will use it against him and Kyle herself. Theo tells a story about how a party girl crashed one of their parties, got completely wasted, and how they took her to the hospital, how they found out she was underage, and how they agreed to just drop her off at the hospital and leave. The day after her father showed up to their home threatening to go after them, he freaked out but Kyle handled it. Summer is intently in the story and Theo told him that Kyle paid the guy off, things went back to normal and now Kyle is a good boy in GC. Summer was shocked that the father took the money but then she tells Theo that he's holding a grudge because Kyle saved their asses. Theo is mad because he thinks that Kyle is trying to forget about the past and that they went through war together but Summer shut that down and told him that they just parties together and that Kyle has grown up and moved on but that he's still the same party guy and stuck in his ways and is disgusted that he is trying to destroy Kyle's relationship. Theo tries to clap back that she only feels that way because of her feeling for Kyle, Summer is now pissed then leaves.
Kyle goes to the park to check on how the wedding set up is coming along. As Kyle is making a few adjustments, Summer shows up. She tells Kyle how she is truly happy for him and Lola. Kyle understands how the wedding will be awkward but he knows that Lola will be happy to see her there and is looking forward to their friendship. He also mentions that he would be happy to see her there as well minus her plus one and she tells him that he has nothing to worry about. She tells him that Theo has some anger in him and that she thinks he should watch his back with him. Kyle agrees and thanks her for the heads up. She gives a few more compliments on him and Lola then leaves.
Mariah and Tessa are listening to Tessa's song again when Theo crashing their moment. Mariah and Tessa call him out on his bogus toast, he tries to defend himself by saying that he was trying to make things right. Mariah doesn't believe him so she tells him that she thinks NY is missing him and he should probably go back, then the girls leave him hanging. Theo decides to look up the girl from NY on social media (what is this boy planning to do). Lola arrives to the park and is in awe with the decorations and Kyle is surprised that she's there and a little bummed that she ruined the surprise. Lola is extremely happy and said that he is giving her the wedding of her dreams. She suggested that she leave but Kyle says not now then he turns on the lights and music and they have their last dance and kiss as an engaged couple. Sharon and Rey end their impromptu coffee date, she comps his coffee and he accepts. She wishes him luck as he walks his sister down the aisle.
Friday 8/16: It's Wedding Day!. Kyle was at the coffee house when he receives a call from Theo but he sends him to voicemail but Theo sends him a text asking if he had any final wishes. Kyle ignores him then goes about his way. Lola is getting glammed up with the support of Abby, Mariah, and Tessa. Lola shares her lovely night at the park with Kyle. Victoria and Billy are getting ready to leave for the wedding but Billy is preoccupied by his thoughts of Delia and his nightmares. Ashley and Traci are at the Abbott house raving about how things are going great for the Abbotts and welcoming a new Abbott into the family then a frantic Kyle walks into the house. Summer runs into Phyllis at the coffee house and Phyllis offers Summer ways to get through the day, movies, spa, tattoos but Summer has another idea.
Lola is in awe that she is celebrating this day with 3 best friends, ladies she didn't think she'd ever have and the ladies share how the will be her squad for life. The ladies present Lola with the ritual wedding day gifts. Rey shows up to give his sister some loving last words. They take a trip down memory lane that brought them to where they are today. They are grateful to have one another.
Kyle is frantic because he's worried about divorce and that not one Abbott has had a successful marriage and Lola is such a lovely woman who deserves the best. Ashley and Traci agree that Lola deserves everything and tells him he is the man that will provide it to her. The Abbott sisters tell Kyle to learn from the other's failed marriages and that he and Lola have already endured so much and they've made it through. They give him lots of advice to love, forgive, communicate, and create memories. Kyle eventually calms down and prepares for his wedding.
Summer shares that she is going to the wedding. She and Kyle have something special but that she really wants to support him and see him happy. Phyllis questions Summer if she feels this is the right thing to do and Summer said yes, she wants to be there and she will be on her best behavior then she asked Phyllis to be her plus one. Phyllis agrees.
The guest begin to arrive at the wedding, first with Billy and Victoria along with Devon and Elena. They are in awe with what Kyle has put together. Everyone else starts filing in and then Kyle joins the group, receiving much support for the upcoming nuptials. But then Jack arrives needing to speak to Kyle. Celeste surprises Lola in her bridal suite and Lola is so happy that she made. I guess Jack is a man of his word. Celeste loves on her children and apologizes for the way she left. Lola apologized for the way she treated her. Celeste tells them how Jack helped remind her of what great children she has and she tells Lola how happy she is that she (Lola) has found someone that adores her. Abby interrupts, is thrilled to see the Roselez family, but tells them that it's time to start the wedding. Lola asked her mother to walk her down the aisle with Rey and Celeste agrees. As Jack and Kyle get into their positions at the altar, Summer and Phyllis make an entrance and quickly takes their seat. The wedding officially starts with Abby making her way down the aisle. She looks into the crowd, smiles when she gazes into Nate's eyes but that smile quickly turns into a mug when she sees Summer. At that time, The Rosalez clan makes their way down the aisle. As Celeste and Rey give Lola away, Celeste sees the curtain move and she walks out to confront Adrian, Lola's daddy.....yes, she showed up. The ceremony is underway and Celeste is arguing with Adrian, he refused to miss his daughter's wedding and Celeste just wished he would've respected Lola's wishes and not showed up and to have the decency to leave. She goes back to her seat just in time for the couple to say their vows as Adrian watches from afar. The audience is all smiles while Summer is butt hurt and it's clearly showing on her face. Kyle and Lola Abbott were officially presented to everyone. What a cute way to end the week.
