09-20-2017 (Wednesday) The Intervention

Lucas wakes up in the hospital, strapped to a bed; he wonders where he is and starts screaming for help.  Kayla comes in and tries to calm in down… Kate, Jennifer and Maggie all come in; Kate tells Lucas if she and Jennifer hadn’t found him, he would be dead right now.  He is angry; he knows this is an intervention… he says he isn’t going along with it.  He accuses them all of trying to get rid of him so he won’t embarrass them anymore; Maggie tells him they aren’t that selfish.  She says they care about him and don’t want him to die; he asks Maggie why she let Adrian move in with them.  She says she didn’t have a choice.  He yells at his mother for firing him; he says he is “a big fat nothing now.”  Kate tries to explain that she did it for his own good.  He tells them all he doesn’t want any of them there right now, and demands that they get him out of these restraints; they are all crying.  Lucas demands that they release him; he says they don’t have a legal right to keep him there.  They agree, still trying to talk him into going to rehab.  He refuses; he gets dressed and says he wants to sign his release papers so he can go.  Kayla says she won’t authorize that; he says she doesn’t have to and walks out of the room.

Abby and Chad go the chapel again, and fill out a form for the priest; it asks if either of them have had a child out of wedlock.  Chad says he has to answer yes; Abby acknowledges that “Grace” was difficult for him… he says not a day goes by that he doesn’t think about her.  Abby tells him to note that next to his answer.  When they get back home, there are gifts on the table; Abby asks Chad if he wants to open them.  He kisses her and says she is the only present he needs.Chloe has decided to buy Club TBD; she is disappointed when Julie tells her that she is going to outbid her, and suggests she find something more realistic.  Chloe tells her she doesn’t appreciate the condescending attitude; Julie explains why she wants to buy the Club, as a surprise for Doug.  Julie asks Chloe if she will back off; Chloe says, “not on your life.”

The auction begins; Myron comes in and tells the ladies that he is also bidding on the Club… he says he invested in some stock options, which have exploded.  Chloe tells Julie now that neither of them are going to win.  The bidding begins; Julie and Chloe begin outbidding each other, then another man bids, then Myron raises his bid to $400,000.00.  Suddenly, Chloe and Julie both raise their paddles and bid $500,000.00 together; Myron tells them that’s more than he’s will to spend “to get a few chicks” and leaves.  Julie and Chloe get the Club; they realize now they have to figure out how to work together.

Brady is upset; Victor asks why.  Brady says he talked to Chloe and she let it slip that Eric still has feelings for Nicole, so now he has confirmation; Victor says he had a right to know.  Brady is angry because he was accused of being jealous for no reason; Victor asks how he can be sure that Nicole returns those feelings.  Brady says he isn’t sure; Victor tells Brady he should quit “handle Nicole over to his brother on a silver platter.”  Victor leaves the room; Brady pours himself a glass of brandy.  He drinks it.  At the Center, Eric and Nicole have a slightly intimate moment when he touches her arm and appears to want to kiss her; Nicole tells him she is going to take care of something and leaves the room.

Nicole calls ‘Brandon’ and tells him that she could use a friend to talk to, adding that Holly would love to meet her uncle; Abe tells her that he overheard her trying to call Brandon and asks if he could offer an ear.  Nicole is hesitant to talk to Abe, but agrees when he says if she has a problem, he would like to help; she confesses that she thinks she has feelings for Eric.  She tells Abe, after Eric got done talking to this young boy who had hit somebody with a car while driving drunk, she was so moved, she reached out and touched his hand; she says it triggered something and made her realize she still has feelings for him.  She tells Abe she doesn’t know what to do now, because she had been denying any feelings for Eric to Brady for so long; she adds that she doesn’t want to lose what she has with Brady.

Eric comes into the Center and tells Eric he wants to talk to him; he makes him admit that he has feelings for Nicole, then gets angry when he does.  Eric promises Brady that he has never done anything about it; he says Nicole doesn’t know how he feels.  He says he wants the two of them to be happy; he swears he would never come between them.  Brady tells him to prove it then; he tells Eric to fire Nicole.  Eric argues that Nicole is doing a lot of good there, and it makes her happy; Brady says he doesn’t care, telling Eric again, “fire her.”  Abe tells Nicole that she needs to think about what she really wants; he asks her to consider if her love for Brady is more gratitude than anything, saying she needs to be true to herself and acknowledge her feelings.  She tells him she has to get back to the Center; she hugs him and says thank you.
