Kayla tries to comfort
Adrian, but Adrian says she took time to think and realized that they are all
in this together; she knows she is not alone.
Steve, Justin, Lucas and Sonny, all look down in despair; Adrian just
shakes her head okay. She gets a little
faint and sits down. They argue over
who is going to take her to the hospital; Kayla says she will take her. The others go to pack Adrian’s bag and will
meet her there. Kate finds Lucas in her
living room and begins to berate Adrian for picking Justin over him; he tells
her she didn’t – she didn’t pick either one of them because she has cancer. Kate apologizes. She reminds him that she survived lung cancer; says they are
doing amazing things every day working toward a cure; Adrian may be okay. She admits it is a tough road, but says that
woman has an amazingly strong, fighting spirit and is surrounded by love; she
assures Lucas, she will be all right.
Lucas pulls out the plan ticket he had gotten for their honeymoon and
tears it up.
Kayla gets Adrian settled
in a room and goes to set up the tests – Steve pulls out a deck of cards. She asks him if he would go get her a burger,
instead. He tells her if she wants to
be alone, she just needs to tell him; she says she didn’t want to be rude. She promises not to try to run away again. Brady is packing a bag of Teresa’s clothes;
he doesn’t want to discuss business with Deimos. He says he was shut out, when he tried to involve himself the
other day, so at this point, he is disinterested. Nicole comes in. She asks Brady how he is doing, mentions Teresa
and he tells her he could care less anymore; Teresa had her chance to be a mother
and threw it away. Nicole insists there
must be more to the story; Brady says that he and Tate are better off – he
leaves, saying they will discuss business later.
Deimos tells Nicole she has already made a huge difference in
profits; she admits Asian markets went crazy for their new eco-friendly
designs. They go upstairs to make
love. In the square, Brady runs into
Paul and talks about how he is going to tell his kid one day what happened,
because he doesn’t understand it himself, and probably never will. Paul tells him, Tate still has a great dad
who cares a whole lot for him, and a wonderful family, made up of a whole lot
of people who love him; he assures Brady that Tate will be okay. He even suggests he may find love again some
day. Nicole asks about Philip and
Chloe; Deimos says Philip is too busy accusing him of playing favorites, at
Titan, to tell him anything. Nancy
(Chloe’s mother) shows up to talk to Philip.
She says she just came from seeing her in Chicago; she says Chloe told
her everything… they go somewhere they can talk freely.
Paul finds Sonny in the square; Sonny tells
him about his mom. He blames himself,
and his stupid plan to lock her in that room all night with Lucas and Justin;
he says he might have put his mom’s life at risk. Paul reassures Sonny that it
wasn’t his fault; this is a genetic condition.
In fact, he says, he just may have helped his mom; the cancer may not
have been detected so quickly if she hadn’t gotten exhausted and passed
out. He tells Sonny he is there for him
to lean on anytime, no matter what; he puts him arm around his shoulder. Justin gets home and gets pissed at Brady,
after Brady asks him to respect what he is going through and give him a little
space; he says Teresa made her choice to throw her life away – other people
don’t have a choice. Their lives get
taken away by illness - like cancer; Brady isn’t sure what to say to that. He inquires about what Justin means. Justin says he blames himself because he encouraged Adrian not to worry
about it; he blew off the possibility every time she mentioned she could get cancer. Brady swears to him, she’ll be fine; she is
a survivor, he says. He hugs
Justin. Justin pours himself a drink;
when he finishes it, he throws the glass into the fireplace.
Philip tells Nancy that Chloe only told him
a few weeks ago that the baby was Nicole’s; her mom worries that Chloe will
spend the next eighteen years raising someone else’s baby and passing it off as
her own. Philip says he needs to be
Chloe’s friend and help her sort all this out; only, he admits, that he wants
to be more than friends (he says he told Chloe he loved her and she hasn’t
mentioned it since). He wants to go see
her, to talk to her face-to-face. He
goes home to pack and is talking on the phone with Nancy, telling her he is
leaving now and won’t be saying a word to Nicole, when Deimos comes down the
stairs and overhears. Kate comes into
Adrian’s hospital room and takes her by the hand; they both start crying. Touching.
