Genoa City Athletic Club
Victor and Nikki get their pictures taken in front of a gala backdrop as they head into the party.
Nikki and Victor go inside the club and Victor asks how Nikki pulled it off.
Nikki says she had plenty of help.
Victor says he thinks this will be the most memorable night in Genoa City… Ever.
The Abbott Mansion
Ashley comes down the stairs to answer the door. It’s Tucker.
Tucker says he’s come to pick Ashley up. He asks if she’d like to come on a date with him to the gala at the Athletic Club.
Ashley says she’s going alone, and Tucker says she should go alone with him.
Jack comes down the stairs and sees Tucker at the door.
Crimson Lights
Amanda says to Abby that she looks surprised, and asks if she forgot that she was there for the arbitration.
Abby says she didn’t forget about her. She says she’s sorry for what happened between them.
Abby continues to apologize profusely and says that things just happened with Devon that night.
Amanda says she’s gone over that moment hundreds of times in her memory, but she doesn’t care anymore.
Abby asks why she came back if she doesn’t care.
She asks if Amanda is trying to punish Devon, and says that Amanda shouldn’t punish him for a mistake that Abby and Devon both made.
Abby says that Devon is fighting with Jill and Lily and it’s tragic. She says that she hopes that Amanda can resolve the situation and that it can work out for everyone.
Amanda says that it’s nothing personal against Devon. She says she was hired to win the case, and that’s what she’s going to do.
She says she’s through with their conversation, and that Abby should “let the grownups figure things out”, and that she has no need or want to talk to Abby ever again.
Devon/Nate’s Apartment Lobby
Devon steps out of the elevator and sees Nate locking the door to his own apartment.
Nate asks how things are with the arbitration, and says that he hates to see Lily and Devon at each other’s throats.
Devon says it’s a bit late for that.
Nate says it’s not too late.
Nate says that a highlight of his brief stint at Chancellor-Winters was watching Devon and Lily work together, and he doesn’t want to see the family break up.
He says that if there’s anything he can do to help, to let him know.
Devon says there’s nothing, and enters his apartment, leaving Nate alone in the lobby.
Society
Lily and Jill are sitting in the restaurant talking.
Jill says that maybe Devon will come around if he takes the time to think about it.
Lily says that Jill didn’t consult with her and asks what Jill’s not telling them.
Lily says that Jill was convinced she should take the company public, and now she wants to stay private… She just doesn’t understand why Jill would change her mind about it.
Jill says that a strong leader needs to be able to change her mind.
She says that she spoke to somebody who reminded her what Katherine would want and got some sage advice and an alternative to the IPO. She leaves Lily at the table.
Sally’s Hotel Room
Nick enters the room and Sally says she’s nervous because she’s never been to a masked ball before.
She says she can see the Athletic Club from her room. She’s worried that she’s starting to “show” as she’s in her second trimester.
Nick jokingly asks if she’s showing and puts his hand on her stomach.
Sally says that she tried on her dress from a month ago, and she could see her baby bump.
She says she doesn’t want people to talk about her at the party.
Nick reassures her that people will only be looking at how stunning she is.
He says that he thinks her baby bump makes her sexy.
They kiss.
Crimson Lights
Victoria is at the coffee shop and thinks back to her conversation with Nick about Adam and McCall Unlimited.
In a flashback, Nick tells her that she should let Adam run McCall, and how she didn’t want that to happen, and said that she wouldn’t let Adam run the company.
At that moment, Adam walks into the coffee shop and interrupts her reverie.
Adam comments on how she’s taking a casual approach to the evening as he jokes about her outfit.
Victoria snipes a bit at him and then says that she hopes he doesn’t have his heart set on McCall Unlimited.
She tells him that Newman will acquire McCall Unlimited and he won’t be the one running it.
Adam says that he was about to say the same to her.
As Victoria fixes her coffee, Adam says that it doesn’t matter what she’s heard about the McCall acquisition, she’s never going to control the company.
She tells him that Newman will take over McCall, and she’s in charge of Newman, so there’s a flaw in his logic.
They argue for a few minutes and Adam says that Victoria doesn’t know what she’s doing.
At that moment, Nate walks in and tells Adam that he should watch his mouth.
Victoria tells Nate not to worry about her brother, he won’t be a problem.
Adam says that Nate either cares a lot about the acquisition, or he cares a lot about Victoria.
Adam asks Nate if Elena is going to the gala, or whether Nate and Victoria are going together.
Nate scoffs and says of course Elena is going.
Victoria tells Adam that playtime is over, and Nate says he’ll escort Victoria out.
