Summer: Oh, it is the perfect autumn night tonight.

Kyle: Oh, it sure is.

Phyllis: We seem to have misplaced your dad.

Kyle: Oh, he’s with Harrison. They’ve lined up all the toy soldiers in his room, and there’s an epic battle going on now.

Nick: I bet the two of them are having more fun than the rest of us combined.

Noah: I think you’re probably right. I could tell in Milan how much Jack loves that kid.

Summer: Oh, yeah. No, he totally loves being a grandpa.

Phyllis: You’ve bonded with Harrison, too.

Summer: Oh, my gosh, yes. No, he is such a doll. Honestly, whatever fears I had about being a stepmom have just completely gone away.

Phyllis: That’s great.

Kyle: Yeah, summer’s a natural at this whole parenting thing.

***************

Noah: No one’s worried about you not having room in your life for Harrison. We’re more worried about you not having room in your closet for all the swag you’re bringing home from Marchetti.

Summer: Oh! No, okay, I have a simple solution to that problem. See, I wear them once, and then I just give them away.

Noah: Wait. Seriously?

Summer: Oh, my gosh, no! No, I wouldn’t do that. You are so gullible.

Kyle: He’s right, though. We need to build more closets for all of our shoes.

Summer: You are lying.

Kyle: Mnh, it’s the truth.

Summer: No.

Victor: We are having a discussion, the kind a father has with his future son-in-law when he’s about to marry his daughter.

Victoria: Well, it’s a little late to be asking him what his intentions are, don’t you think?

Ashland: You’re right. Victor and I are determined to make sure there are no surprises, that this wedding goes off without a hitch, and that we can savor the celebration.

Victoria: Which means there’s something that needs to be dealt with that you’re not telling me.

Victor: Sweetheart, all you have to know is that I have any potential threat to you, to the wedding, or to Ashland under control. I give you my word, alright? So, you two get ready. I’ll see you at the party. Goodbye, sweetheart.

Victoria: You look pale. And my father doesn’t fool me. What is this really about?

**†************

Victoria: Well, should I ask Nate to come check on you?

Ashland: No, no, no, no. There’s certainly no need. Ironically enough, Billy was the one who came to my rescue.

Victoria: Billy’s here? I haven’t seen him yet.

Ashland: Yeah, he’s probably laying low.

Victoria: Well [Sighs] Given that he’s been flooding my phone with messages, I assumed that he’d be banging on my door the moment that he arrived. He seems eager to confront me with his news that he thinks i need to know.

Ashland: Well, there’s nothing Billy can tell you that you don’t already know.

Victoria: Well, mom told him not to come, but I’m actually glad that he did because i cannot wait to see how crushed he will be when he sees that he flew all this way for nothing.

Ashland: That’ll be very satisfying for you.

Victoria: I wonder why i haven’t seen him yet. Do you think he’s avoiding me?

Ashland: He’s probably mapping out his grand entrance or something like that. I say we don’t give the guy another thought.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] That sounds good to me.

Gaines: Wow. This place is something else. Maybe I’ll use some of my payoff cash to buy myself a little palazzo like this one.

Billy: We’re not here for a shopping spree, okay? So just slow down. We got a job to do.

Gaines: And I, for one, am ready to do my part. I have been waiting a long time for this — the well-deserved and ultimate downfall of Ashland Locke. So, how do you see it playing out?

Billy: Very carefully.

Gaines: You know, I was hoping for something dramatic, like humiliating him while he’s standing on the altar, waiting for his precious bride.

****************

Jack: It is the beauty of family.

Phyllis: She can’t keep on holding this against him. He was just trying to help her.

Jack: I’m sure he feels justified in his actions. Look, at least now he realizes that it’s time to let go and accept the inevitability of this wedding, unlike some people we know.

Phyllis: Who? Billy?

Jack: Do not ask me to enumerate the number of times i have told Billy to let Victoria live her life.

Phyllis: Okay, I won’t ask you. Ah, I do respect how Nick will go above and beyond for someone he loves. I do respect that. But sometimes talking nice is not the right way to go, and i am afraid that’s what he’s trying to do right now.

Adam: Billy, whatever shred of decency you have left, whatever affection you still feel for Victoria should be enough to make you realize that you have to let her live her life. Why are you so hell-bent on sabotaging her happiness?

Billy: Actually, I’m trying to ensure her happiness.

Adam: Is that what you tell yourself? Man, how do you sleep at night?

Billy: Like a baby. Because I am entirely at peace with trying to stop Victoria from marrying a deceitful, duplicitous man like Ashland Locke.

Adam: Whatever the guy is or he isn’t, none of us — not me, not Victor, and certainly not you — have the right to throw stones. So, by tracking down this guy from his past, you just look petty and —

Billy: Oh, my god. I have no idea what you’re talking about. You keep mentioning this guy. Jamie Gams or whatever the hell his name is?

*************************

Billy: And it didn’t bother you then. Didn’t even raise a question. So, is there a specific threat that this guy poses now? Because so far, you’ve given me a bunch of basic information that, honestly, any tool could’ve looked up.

Adam: You were the threat, Billy, and this impulse to interfere in Victoria’s life.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] There’s one good thing about knowing you for as long as i have. I can see right through you, and you’ve got nothing. You know what happened? Your father called you and told you to jump, and you said, “how high?” Your own father doesn’t trust you with the details. Who’s pathetic now?

Ashland: I’m hoping a genuine Italian espresso will give me the jolt that I need. I didn’t sleep very well.

Victoria: Was your bed not comfortable?

Ashland: [ Sigh deeply ] Well, [Smacks lips] I couldn’t get past the fact that you weren’t in it.

Victoria: Oh, I see. So, I’m the reason for your insomnia?

Ashland: No, I did not say that. I know that I have to give you all the space that you needed.

*******************

Nikki: Oh, just beautiful. I mean, not as big of an affair as yours, of course, but it was just so simple and elegant. And, oh, do I have some photos to show you.

Victor: Some photos? How about 800 of them

Elena: [ Chuckles ] I held off on ordering the pasta since we are about to go to Italy and I expect to have the best pasta I have ever tasted in my life.

Nate: Hmm. What is pasta made out of, flour and water? You think they have magical ingredients out there.

Elena: I think everything about that place is gonna be magical.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Far be it from me to argue with that logic.

Elena: Oh, let me live in my fantasy. I’ve never been to Italy, and i am so excited.

**************

Sally: We are going to need a big car to pick us up from the airport in Tuscany because i have a lot of luggage.

Adam: Really? Why? It’s not like we’re going for that long.

Sally: Well, I’m taking Victoria’s wedding dress and all the paraphernalia that goes along with it, like my sewing machine and supplies, a portable steamer, shoes, accessories.

Adam: Okay, okay, I’ll reserve a limo. Or maybe two.

Sally: That will work.

Adam: I know that you put a lot of work into transporting the dress, but do you have any idea how you’re actually gonna get it in front of her?

Sally: I am still working on that, but, hey, I got the first 5,000 miles planned out, so that last little stretch should be a piece of cake, right?

Adam: The eternal optimist.

Sally: Well, I’m sure I’ll come up with a strategy once i have a chance to scope out the villa.

Adam: Oh, dining alone, i see. What happened, Lily finally give you the boot?

Billy: Not that it’s any of your business, but Lily is visiting her daughter, so apparently I’m not as sad and lonely as you.

Adam: Well, I can’t blame her for having to get away. She probably needed a break from being around such an insufferable bore.

Billy: You’ll be happy to know that she’ll be meeting me in Tuscany for the big wedding. It’s unfortunate you won’t have a date for the big shindig. Of course, you’d have to be invited by Victoria in the first place.

Adam: Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I actually will be at the wedding. Despite all odds, Victoria decided to roll the dice and add me to the guest list. So, I look forward to toasting to her good fortune.

******†************

Adam: Victoria already left, huh? Then why are you hinting that you have some insider info about pre-wedding jitters? She didn’t go all the way there not to get married, Billy. What’s this, is this just more wishful thinking?

Billy: You can call it a strong hunch that any minute she’s gonna wake up and realize the insanity of committing to an enigma of a man.

Adam: [ Exhales ] For once, I have more faith in your ex-wife than you do. I think my sister’s deeply in love for the first time in a long time. And she knows exactly what she’s doing.

Devon: I mean, if that’s the case, I will — what have you got there? I will call and I’ll raise you.

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Oh, I got you now.

Devon: Well, how you have me?

Amanda: Mm, because you have a tell. See, when you were bluffing, you smirk and your eyes smolder.

Devon: They smolder?

Amanda: [ Laughing ] Yes.

Devon: Maybe that’s just how I look at you. You ever think about that?

******************

Sally: Okay, before you say anything else, let me remind you why this benefits Newman Media. We get eyeballs on the dress, which gives us cred for Newman Media’s fashion platform, and if the dress is as successful as I think that it will be, then we can do a lower-price-point version of it, sell it on our website, and the world will be filled with Victoria Newman-Locke look-alike brides.

Adam: Ah. So, you’re doing all this for the sake of the company. What a team player.

Sally: Yes, I’m glad you recognize that.

Adam: Mm. And you’re taking quite a gamble paying for all of it — with my money.

Sally: This is an investment, not a gamble.

Adam: You’re having a wedding dress designed for someone who has no idea what you’re doing. And I’m assuming she already has a dress, because the wedding is in a few days.

Sally: Okay, but this is a better dress — the perfect dress — for Victoria. And once she sees it, she will fall so in love that she will not want to walk down the aisle in anything else

Nick: Ashland shows up with Victoria, and the two of them demand that she’s a part of the conversation.

Phyllis: Well, she must have gone out of her mind, hearing something so epic, right?

Nick: You know, she didn’t say much about that. But later on, when we were talking alone, she just went off on me.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yeah, she said i betrayed her confidence. [Breathes deeply] Made it very clear to me that she’s done with me.

Phyllis: With you? Nick!

Nick: It’s what I get for doing the right thing

********†***†

Phyllis: Siblings have squabbles, right? I mean, she’s just mad — Victoria. She’s not gonna cut you out of her life.

Nick: Well, she cut me off the guest list.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yep. I’ve been officially disinvited from the wedding.

Phyllis: That’s ridicul– she’s just mad. She’s mad, you know? And she is shooting the well-intentioned messenger. That’s all. I mean, she’s shocked. I’m shocked. I don’t even like this guy, and I’m shocked. I mean, he really took the identity of a dying man? Really?

Sharon: I know what you’re thinking — “I asked for some time and space away from everyone.”

Mariah: You nailed it.

Sharon: And I gave that to you.

Mariah: Uh, yeah, you almost lasted, mm, 24 hours?

Sharon: Well, I think i lasted more than a day. Anyway, I lasted longer than i thought I would. You can give me some
credit for that.

Mariah: [ Scoffs ]

Sharon: Anyway, it’s good to see you making jokes again.

Mariah: Who says I’m making jokes?

Sharon: Well, you seem better. That’s a relief. But how about some genuine answers?

Mariah: Mnh, uh-oh.

Sharon: How are you really feeling?

Amanda: You still haven’t told Faith where she’s going?

Moses: It’s all a mystery. That’s part of the fun.

Devon: Exactly.

Amanda: Oh, so you know a little something about this date, huh?

Moses: Yeah, but I swore Devon to secrecy, so he’s not gonna blow it, right?

Devon: Oh, like you almost just did by forgetting your wallet? Like that?

Amanda: You are very trusting. I mean, you could be expecting a glamorous night on the town and end up at a
paintball range.

Faith: Paintball?

Moses: No. Next time. But, uh, we’re gonna get out of here before Devon ruins the surprise.

Jack: You got to stop this. Listen to yourself. Listen to the leaps of logic you’re willing to make to justify what you’re doing.

Billy: I’m protecting the mother of my children, Jack.

Jack: I know you keep saying that. Victoria is no longer your responsibility. And let’s be honest. This is not protecting Victoria or protecting your kids or maybe even about Ashland. This is about you trying to stop Victoria from moving on.

******************

Billy: You’re not the first person to claim that I’m having a hard time getting over Victoria, but like them, Jack, you would be wrong ’cause I am happy with Lily, very, very happy. My life has taken a different direction, and I am great with that.

Jack: Historically, that would be about the time that you start to sabotage yourself.

Billy: There you go.

Jack: You’re my brother, and I love you, Billy, but you know that’s the truth.

Billy: It’s not what this is about, okay? This is about protecting Victoria and my children. That’s it. Their welfare. Nothing more. And given the amount of lies and half-truths that Ashland has told us in the short amount of time that he has been in our lives, I would be remiss not to look into him.

Jack: This is your ego talking. Victoria is perfectly capable of looking after her own life without any of your help.

Billy: Okay, you mentioned Nick as having the same thoughts. Does that make him an egomaniac, as well!

Jack: Hey, I’ve just been thinking of you. I read a very complimentary article about you and Newman Media.

Adam: Well, I have to admit, it is nice to get a little good press. It’s a welcome change of pace.

Jack: I’m sure it is. Well, the article said the expansion’s going very well, and — how did they put it? — It is a business
renaissance for Adam Newman.

Adam: Just a fancy way of saying I’ve gotten a do-over.

Jack: Well, fancy or not, it sounds like you’re turning things around, and I couldn’t be happier for you

***********

Phyllis: Well, okay. Room 600. Um, excuse me. I’m sorry, when are you gonna get this? You are not welcome at the
Grand Phoenix ever.

Sally: Well, when are you gonna get that I am not going anywhere. I’m a part of this town, so get used to it.

Victor: Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me or there’s something you want to say?

Billy: Just surprised to see you here again.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Billy: Or maybe you haven’t left. Either way, it seems weird that you would spend this much time in Phyllis’ establishment. You got a meeting by chance?

Victor: Yes, I do have a meeting. Thank you for asking.

Billy: Jesse Gaines. Does that name ring a bell?

Victor: It sounds like the name of your bookie

*********

Ashland: Victor, forgive me for running late.

Victor: That’s alright. Table in the restaurant is waiting.

Billy: I hope it’s a table for three. Got a few questions for the both of you.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You’re a pest, Billy boy.
