>> Devon: I...
>> Victor: Devon!
>> Devon: Hey, Mr. Newman.
>> Victor: Come in, then.
>> Devon: Thank you.
>> Victor: What brings you by?
>> Devon: Oh,
there's something that
I wanted to discuss with you.
>> Victor: By chance,
does it have to do with
a shake up
at Chancellor-Winters?
What do you think about that?
>> Devon: I think I'm happy that
I don't have to work with
Billy Abbott anymore.
>> Victor: Oh, Billy Abbott.
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Victor: You know,
Billy Abbott is
like a sinking ship.
Takes everyone on board
down with him.
>> Devon: Mm. I couldn't agree
with you more, which is why I
didn't want my family's company
to be wrapped up in whatever
damage he's going to inflict
on Chancellor.
>> Victor: Smart move.
Good business.
>> Devon: Yes.
I'm also very happy that I don't
have to get anyone's vote or
approval to make any
business moves.
>> Victor: Oh,
let me tell you about that.
Don't ever let anyone question
you wanting to control
your business.
You stick to your guns.
In the end, that'll pay off.
>> Devon: That's some-- that's
some great advice that I--
I needed to hear.
I appreciate you
telling me that.
>> Victor: So, what did you
want to talk about?
>> Devon: All right.
I wanted to
talk to you about Abby.
>> Victor: She all right?
>> Devon: She's fine.
She's, uh, she's more than fine.
I...
I kind of got a little ahead
of myself yesterday,
and I asked her to marry me,
and she said yes.
But I realized that I obviously
did that without speaking
to you first, and I wanted to
just come here and make sure
you were all right with it.
>> Victor: Well, I'll be damned.
>> Abby: Mom. Hi.
How are you?
How are things?
I've been so concerned
since I've been back.
>> Ashley: Oh, honey, don't
worry about me.
I'm in good hands.
You know that.
I think I'm making progress.
You know, I'm starting
to get a handle on my life.
>> Abby: Well, I'm sure
that hasn't been easy,
but progress is good, right?
>> Ashley: Definitely.
I think people have
stopped looking for signs
that I'm not quite myself.
>> Abby: I hope I haven't
been doing that.
And if I have,
please forgive me.
It's just...
Well, it's so unusual to think
that my mom that I've known
my entire life could be...
someone else.
>> Ashley: I know.
It's really hard
to understand, and even more
difficult to accept.
>> Abby: Well, I was thinking
that maybe I could come for
another visit.
You shouldn't have to be
going through this alone.
And I know that Aunt Traci is
there, but, I mean, a little bit
more support can't hurt, right?
>> Ashley: Honey, I love you
so much and I miss you.
I'm just at a really critical
point in my treatment,
and I really need to focus
only on that
if I'm ever gonna get well
enough to get out of here.
Do you understand?
>> Abby: Of course. Yes.
Whatever is the most supportive
to you, um, I won't argue.
But I guess that means
I have to tell you my news
over video chat.
I was hoping to tell you
in person, since the doctors
said that you were strong
enough to hear it.
>> Ashley: What's going on?
>> Abby: Devon proposed to me
last night.
>> Ashley: That's incredible.
I couldn't be happier for you.
You did say yes, right?
>> Abby: Yes. Yes. Um, it just
came out of my mouth.
But, um, now that the excitement
and the shock has worn off,
I'm starting to think I may
be having second thoughts.

[ Traci sighing ]
>> Traci: Alan, I'm so, so sorry
I was delayed.
I hope that I didn't keep
you waiting for very long.
>> Alan: Not at all. I--
I've already ordered our--
That is not good.
>> Traci: Uh...
>> Kyle: Look, I don't know who
or what changed your mind about
going to Paris.
I'm just grateful that
you're coming.
>> Claire: It was actually
my mom.
We sort of talked it over, and
I realized I should go for it.
>> Kyle: Well, sometimes moms
do give the best advice.
Some moms, anyway.
Well, I suppose Harrison
and I owe Victoria a debt
of gratitude.
>> Claire: I guess we all do.
>> Kyle: Oh, this is gonna be
so great for Harrison.
While I'm in meetings,
you two can go sightseeing.
Uh, kids, they sail
these little boats around
the Tuileries Gardens.
You can take an actual
boat ride on the Seine,
maybe even take a day trip
to Versailles.
I bet Harrison would get a kick
out of seeing where the kings
and queens lived.
Oh, then there's the Louvre.
Do you think he's too young
to appreciate the Mona Lisa?
>> Claire: No, I think Harrison
already has a keen appreciation
for the arts.
>> Kyle: Okay, I'll set up
a tour guide while I'm at work.
And don't worry,
since it's your first time in
Paris, you won't have to be on
call 24/7. You'll have plenty
of time to do the things
that you want to do too.
>> Claire: Uh, when? Won't you
be working most of the time?
>> Kyle: Well, I won't be in
meetings nonstop.
Besides, I want some
father and son bonding time.
With all the conflict going on
around here, I could use
a change of scenery.
And I'm sure Harrison
could use one as well.
>> Claire: Mm-hmm. Thank you
for asking me to join you.
I'm really excited.
So, when do we leave?
And how long
are we gonna be gone for?
>> Kyle: Hm.
>> Summer: You two are welcome
to stay in Paris as long as
you like, actually.
Feel free to take all the time
you need to do the whole
American in Paris bit,
but I'm afraid that Harrison
won't be joining you.
>> Ashley: Honey, why are you
having second thoughts about
Devon's proposal?
I thought you two were
so right for each other.
>> Abby: I know.
>> Ashley: I mean, you've been
close friends for a very long
time, and you created this
magnificent son together.
>> Abby: Dominic is
pretty perfect.
>> Ashley: So then,
isn't the next logical
step marriage?
>> Abby: Right, but...
>> Ashley: Did something happen
that I'm not aware of?
I mean, I know I've been
a little preoccupied with
everything going on with me, so.
>> Abby: No, Mom, I...
Our relationship is great. Uh...
Besides a few changes at
Chancellor-Winters, Devon
and I are tighter than ever.
I actually think working
on the board
brought us even closer.
>> Ashley: So, then what's
going on? Why are
you doubting his proposal?
>> Abby: To be honest, I think
this is more about me
than it is about Devon.
>> Ashley: Well,
stop right there.
I mean, really, any man would be
so lucky to have my gorgeous,
brilliant daughter as his wife.
>> Abby: See, that's just it.
I've been here before, all of my
failed marriages, not to mention
the engagements that never
even made it to the altar.
>> Ashley: Well, those
relationships weren't meant
to be.
>> Abby: But that's the thing.
I thought my mistakes were
meant to be.
>> Ashley: Now, I seem to recall
you had some doubts
about Chance.
>> Abby: Yes, you're right.
I had cold feet.
But did I listen to that little
voice inside that was
warning me? No, I didn't.
And look how that turned out.
Look how it all turned out.
It was one colossal, painful
mistake for everyone involved.
>> Ashley: Honey, those
relationships were different.
You can't compare them
to what you have with Devon.
>> Abby: But maybe I should be
listening to that little voice,
even though it's telling me
something I don't want to hear.
Maybe it's trying to warn me
that if Devon and I get
married, it could ruin
everything that we have.
And that's the last thing
I ever want.
>> Devon: It's, of course,
very important
to me that you approve
of our engagement.
>> Victor: Have a seat, Devon.
Is there any reason you think
that I wouldn't approve?
>> Devon: I mean, honestly,
I can't imagine why
you wouldn't.
>> Victor: You know,
I gotta tell you...
a daughter's engagement
to another guy,
that's quite a milestone
in a father's life, you know?
>> Devon: Of course.
>> Victor: Especially if it's
not her first engagement.
This is the second time
around for her.
>> Devon: And let me assure you,
it will be the last time.
>> Victor: I'm glad to hear you
say that.
>> Devon: So, does this mean
that you do approve?
[ Victor laughing ]
>> Victor: Do you honestly think
you wouldn't have heard from me
if I hadn't approved, huh?
You know...
what impresses me more than
anything is the fact
that you came to me personally,
and you told me, all right?
That proves what a man
you have become.
Your father, my friend,
Neil Winters, would be proud
of what you have become.
Come here.
>> Devon: Mr. Newman,
thank you so much.
It means the world to me.
>> Victor: Welcome to
the family, you hear?
>> Devon: Thank you.
>> Kyle: What are you talking
about, Summer?
Your little ploy to stop me
from taking Harrison
to Paris already failed.
Didn't your lawyer inform
you that the judge denied
your petition?
If not, maybe you should
find a new one.
>> Summer: Yes, Elaine did
inform me that that judge said
that I couldn't stop you.
>> Kyle: Then, why the hell are
you still trying to insist that
I can't take Harrison with me?
>> Summer: Because I just left
her office, Kyle.
She petitioned another judge,
and that one granted
my request for temporary
emergency custody.
>> Kyle: What? On what grounds?
>> Summer: On the grounds
that you shouldn't be allowed to
take our son out of the country
when we have changes to
our custody agreement pending.
You gotta admit, your timing
is a little suspect.
>> Kyle: There's nothing
suspicious about it.
I simply had a business trip and
wanted to take my son with me.
>> Summer: An international
business trip?
Dragging Harrison along
while his mother is back
at home fighting
for more custodial time.
>> Kyle: Oh, so you and your
lawyer went behind my back
to find a new judge to make it
look like I was trying to pull
some trick? Like I'm trying
to steal my own son?
>> Summer: I didn't have to make
it look like anything.
The facts speak for themselves.
So, I'm sorry.
No travel for Harrison.
At least not until our legal
issues are resolved and a final
decision has been made.
Here. Your lawyer was sent
a copy as well.
>> Kyle: How could you be
so vindictive?
You don't trust me to take
my son on a trip,
and you honestly think
I wouldn't bring him back
to keep you away from him?
>> Summer: You can read
the ruling, Kyle.
>> Kyle: I can't believe
you would deny Harrison
this opportunity.
You know how much he's looking
forward to this, and all because
of your misguided, unrelenting
distrust of Audra and Claire.
>> Traci: It--
it isn't bad news. At least--
at least not entirely.
>> Alan: Mm-hmm.
But you're clearly leaving.
>> Traci: I am.
But it's so exciting.
>> Alan: Yeah? Well, I-- I guess
it is for you, but not so
exciting for me if you're
flying off somewhere. What--
>> Traci: Oh, Alan, just listen.
>> Alan: Okay.
>> Traci: So, a Hollywood
producer has optioned
one of my books.
>> Alan: Oh, well--
what does that mean?
Is that good?
>> Traci: It-- it means they
want to make a movie of it.
>> Alan: Oh, wow.
>> Traci: And they want me to
fly to Los Angeles and they want
me to meet with the studio
people and find out what kind of
deal they're offering.
It's just incredible.
>> Alan: That-- that
is incredible.
So, uh, what does that mean?
You're gonna fly off to
Hollywood now, become a movie
mogul, and Paris will
just be a fond memory?
>> Traci: Oh, of course not. I--
I actually tried to get them to
do all of the meetings as video
chat from here, but they're
insisting that I come to LA
in person and-- and meet with
the executives that are
attached to the project.
>> Alan: Well, that's-- that's
great. And obviously, you're
leaving right away, huh?
>> Traci: I am.
My flight is later tonight.
I'm going straight to
the airport from here.
This explains the suitcase.
>> Alan: Oh, that's fantastic.
I'm-- I'm very happy for you,
and I just hope
it's okay for me to be happy
for you and disappointed
for me at the same time.
[ Traci laughing ]
>> Traci: Alan, I'm so sorry
to be leaving so suddenly.
>> Alan: No, I--
of course, it's fine.
I just hope I'm not being
too dramatic if I ask
what this means for us.
I mean...uh,
how long are you gonna
stay there? Are you--
Are you coming back to Paris or?
>> Traci: I hope you know
me better than that by now.
Alan, this time here with you
in Paris, it's been magical.
Of course, I'm coming back.
I need to see my sister, and,
and one of these days
soon, I hope to
be taking her home, right?
>> Alan: Yeah, I-- I think so.
Certainly. And I just hope,
of course, that I'm on
your Paris to do list,
that's all.
>> Traci: Alan,
you're right at the top
of the list,
right next to my sister.
>> Alan: Well, so I guess
you just came here to say, uh,
goodbye, huh?
Do you at least have time
for one last bon voyage
drink in Paris before you go?
>> Traci: Of course,
I have time.
I wouldn't have it
any other way.
>> Victor: Now, Ashley must be
thrilled about
Abby's engagement.
>> Devon: I hope she is.
I know that Abby's
telling her as we speak.
>> Victor: Well, too bad
she isn't here to enjoy it.
>> Devon: I know. And we both
wanted her to be.
And Abby even had the idea to go
to Paris and tell her in person.
She got clearance from
her doctors and everything,
but she couldn't wait.
>> Victor: But from what you
hear Abby say, her treatment and
recovery is going well?
>> Devon: I-- um, yeah, that's
what Abby says.
And we're gonna hold off on
making any wedding plans
until we know for sure when
Ashley's gonna come home.
>> Victor: Of course.
>> Devon: I have to tell you,
I'm-- I'm starting to get
a little concerned myself,
and I would love to get
your take on the whole
situation with Ashley.
>> Victor: But I don't know
the specifics of her diagnosis.
So...
are there reasons
I should be concerned?
>> Devon: No.
I think I'm just trying to
prepare for if Ashley doesn't
bounce back as fast as
we all hope that she does.
'Cause I know that Abby's
gonna need a lot of support
if that happens.
And she's already upset
with the Abbotts for not
keeping her in the loop with
this whole thing.
And it's her mother,
so it's-- it's difficult for
her to process.
>> Victor: You know, Devon,
there's something
you should know.
Or think about.
>> Devon: And what's that?
>> Victor: You know, Ashley's
a very strong woman, right?
>> Devon: Right.
>> Victor: She's Abby's mother.
So, Abby's very strong.
Have you ever thought about
the fact that Abby is not
only Ashley's daughter,
but my daughter as well?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Victor: Meaning...
[ Victor chuckling ]
Good luck to you.
All right?
>> Devon: Right.
>> Claire: Actually, Harrison
and I were just about to make
some new art for
Mrs. Martinez's fridge door,
so we will be
upstairs keeping busy.
>> Summer: That's a great idea,
Claire. Thank you.
And actually, could you maybe
turn on some music as
well while you two draw, just in
case there's any raised voices?
Kyle tends to
yell when he gets upset.
You didn't actually think
that I would sit back and do
nothing while you ran off to
Europe with my son, did you?
Everything that I'm doing is for
one reason and one reason only,
and that is to protect
Harrison at all costs.
>> Kyle: From what?
Me?
Or are you just trying
to make sure he doesn't have
affection for, or is friends
with, any other woman
who isn't you?
Are you really that insecure?
>> Traci: I--
I've just fallen in love
with this place, Alan.
It's meant so many different
things to us these
last weeks, hasn't it?
>> Alan: That it has.
>> Traci: It's the place
that it all started.
Everything started falling
into place about what
happened to Ashley.
>> Alan: And my brother.
>> Traci: Yes.
Uh, sorry.
I didn't mean to bring up
difficult memories.
>> Alan: Oh, no, not at all.
Being here has helped me
process my guilt around Martin,
and it's mainly thanks to you.
>> Traci: No, I don't get
credit for that.
>> Alan: What? Of course you do.
You help me, you know,
deal with my feelings of guilt
around where Martin ended up,
and, uh, well,
you helped me get closure.
>> Traci: Well, the way
I see it, you did all of that.
If my being here helped in some
small way, I'm glad of it.
>> Alan: On the brighter side,
this is where we had
our first date.
>> Traci: Yeah. Yes, it is.
I'll never forget it.
Brighter side, indeed.
And the beginning of
many good times together.
>> Alan: Speaking of which,
when are we going to continue
those good times?
How long will you, uh, be in LA?
>> Traci: Oh, it's hard to say.
Uh, I'm guessing maybe a week?
And then I want to stop
home first before I come back.
I-- I want to stop in
Genoa City and see Jack.
He's having some problems
in his family and with Jabot.
I just want to see him
face to face.
How about you?
Do you have any plans?
>> Alan: Uh, well, I had some
speaking engagements lined up.
>> Traci: Really? Well,
that's fantastic. When? Where?
Is there any chance I could get
back in time to see you?
>> Alan: I have
canceled them, so.
>> Traci: What? Why?
>> Alan: I-- I wanted to spend
time with you.
>> Ashley: Oh, honey, I wish
I could be there with you just
to help you chase away
all your doubts and fears.
>> Abby: Me, too.
You know, I'm just, I'm worried
that I'm making the wrong
decision, again.
>> Ashley: It's unrealistic
to have expectations that
you're never gonna hurt
your partner.
It's a part of life.
It's inevitable.
It's how you handle
those conflicts that makes
the difference in
your future together.
>> Abby: But what if our future
is not meant to be?
>> Ashley: Well, here I am,
acting like I know what
I'm talking about.
And given my track record,
all I can tell you is
you have to trust your heart.
What is your heart telling you?
>> Abby: That I love Devon.
He is the kindest,
most generous, most loyal man
I have ever known.
>> Ashley: Does he
make you happy?
>> Abby: Happier and stronger
and more grounded than
I've ever been.
And I feel like I do
that for him.
I think we just...
fit.
>> Ashley: Okay. I've known you
for a really long time,
and I have never heard
you describe love like that.
>> Abby: This does feel
like it's different.
>> Ashley: There's your
answer, honey.
And now this is the part that if
I was there, I'd actually
just wrap you up in a big hug.
>> Abby: Mm-hm. And I would
hug you right back.
>> Ashley: I'm so sorry
I'm not there.
I should be there during
this really important
time of your life.
>> Abby: Well, that's not
how I see it.
I feel like
I finally have my mom back.
And even though you're not here,
you gave me the exact advice
that I needed to hear right now.
And only one person could do
that, the amazing Ashley Abbott.
The mom who raised me my whole
life and that I've always loved.
And that is more important
to me than anything.
>> Summer: What? This has
nothing to do with insecurity,
and everything to do with logic
and safety
and being a good parent.
>> Kyle: Oh, so now you're
accusing me of being
a bad parent because I want
to take my son on a vacation?
>> Summer: Just be honest about
why you're doing this, Kyle.
You want to take Harrison
away just to get to me.
>> Kyle: No, thi-- this isn't
about you, Summer.
>> Summer: Oh, no?
What's it about, then?
Is it about
taking Claire to Paris?
'Cause has she ever been
out of the country?
Does she know the city?
Does she speak the language?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
And yet you want her to be
responsible for Harrison
while you're out gallivanting
with your business partner?
>> Kyle: Oh, come on, now you're
just being unreasonable
and petty.
>> Summer: No, you're being
unreasonable, expecting me to
just smile and wave bye while
you take Harrison off
with two women I don't trust.
>> Kyle: Okay. What-- what about
what you're doing?
First, you demand sole custody
of a child that is
not biologically yours.
Then, you're doing everything
you can to ruin our trip.
>> Summer: Well, luckily,
the judge saw through your
little scheme.
>> Kyle: Yeah, and how many
judges did you have to go to
until you found one
that agreed with you?
>> Summer: How am I supposed to
exercise my visitation rights
with Harrison in
another country?
>> Kyle: We would barely be gone
a week, Summer.
>> Summer: Another possibility
that the judge couldn't deny is
you taking Harrison and staying
in France with him permanently.
And don't even get me
started on Audra Charles.
>> Kyle: What in the hell does
Audra have to do with Harrison?
>> Summer: Kyle, you had
a sexual relationship with her,
and now you're running
a business together.
After all the scandals
she's been a part of?
>> Kyle: You still haven't
answered my question.
>> Summer: When did all of your
latest erratic behavior begin?
When Audra came back
into your life.
>> Kyle: What erratic behavior?
>> Summer: See, that's the issue
right there. You don't even know
what's going on with you.
Kyle, you got fired from
your own family's company.
You're in this war
with your parents.
You're trying to move and uproot
Harrison from his life of
stability here.
You are the one dragging him
through all of this chaos.
>> Kyle: Okay? That's why you
went to the judge and spewed
all this nonsense?
Hold on, hold on.
Did you bribe him?
'Cause that's how ridiculous
all this sounds.
>> Summer: No, I didn't
have to bribe him.
I have the facts on my side.
>> Kyle: You know, I don't have
to listen to this
nonsense anymore.
You're not the only one who has
a lawyer who can fight dirty.
Jason, it's Kyle Abbott.
We need to meet ASAP.
See you there.
You're not getting away
with this, Summer.

We're really winning. Yeah.

Harrison knows how deeply
loved he is by both of you.
The good news is that he hasn't
completely figured out yet
that there's a battle going on
between the two of you, but...
he's starting to sense
that something's not right.

you and Summer.
>> Kyle: Look, I know you
don't want to hear me
knocking marriage right now.
You're in the dreamy, joyous
part of your engagement,
but one day, all those dreams
of wedded bliss will come
crashing down around you.
>> Abby: Not every marriage
ends like that.
>> Kyle: And one day, you'll
wake up and find that things
have turned sour
and mean and vindictive,
and you'll be in the battle
of your life with Devon
for custody of Dominic.
>> Abby: Kyle, trust me,
I've been there before
and I know how awful it is.
But things have a way of
working themselves out.
And I know that you and Summer
are gonna work through this.
You just can't give up hope.
>> Kyle: Sorry. I don't
share your optimism.
>> Abby: Okay, well, um,
given your current mood,
I'm not going to press you for
a congratulations, but please
don't rain on my engagement.
And please don't compare
my future marriage to yours.
>> Kyle: I'll try.
>> Abby: Okay, look, yes, I have
had my own share of doubts,
but I am not going to go
into this marriage
with those doubts, okay?
So, just please be happy
for me.
>> Kyle: Okay.
Yeah, when the time comes,
just don't say
I didn't warn you.
>> Victor: Hello, my darling.
>> Kyle: Hey.
>> Abby: Daddy, hi.
>> Victor: I'm so happy
about the news.
>> Kyle: Congrats, man.
I hope it's a match
made in heaven.
Excuse me.
>> Victor: Have a seat, please.
>> Devon: Yeah, yeah.
>> Victor: There you go.
>> Kyle: Jason, thanks for
meeting me. I assume you've
got a copy of Summer's
latest backstabbing stunt.
Um, what can we do to fight it?
>> Claire: I just wanted you
to know how disappointed
Harrison was that you weren't
going to be
able to join him in Paris.
>> Summer: I see.
>> Claire: He's so excited
about this trip.
He insisted that we search
the Abbott library for
pictures of the city,
which is how he knew what
the Eiffel Tower looks like.
And he flipped through all
the pictures, pointing out
all the things he wants
to do when we get there.
>> Summer: Claire, you can
stop now, okay?
I see what you're trying to do.
I really don't want you
overstepping into my
relationship with Harrison.
I didn't ask for your advice.
>> Claire: Yes, I get that.
But I've never seen anyone
so excited about a trip.
He looked at those pictures
every day, talking about all
the things that he wants to do.
>> Alan: I've been to
San Francisco,
but I never made it down to LA.
>> Traci: Well, why don't you
come with me?
Ashley is all settled in.
Her doctors tell me that she's
doing really well with
her treatment at the clinic.
>> Alan: Yes, she's doing
very well.
In fact, I get nothing but good
reports from her team.
>> Traci: And when I was just
there seeing her,
she says she's completely
committed to her recovery.
And, Alan, she was herself.
It was my Ashley, my sister
I've loved my whole life.
>> Alan: Well, I think it's
important that you feel
comfortable leaving her
for a while, so that's great.
>> Traci: Yeah, that and Ashley
insisted. You know, she said
that she appreciates that we've
been here and visited
and been close by
if she needed support,
but she's put her foot down.
She says it's time to stop
putting our lives on hold and
hovering and worrying about her.
>> Alan: I think that's
a good sign.
>> Traci: It is.
So...
come with me.
Then, we'll stop in Genoa City.
You can-- you can talk to Jack
and you can tell him all
about Ashley's treatment.
I mean, I can only tell
him so much, not like you.
What do you think? Please.
[ Alan sighing ]
>> Alan: How much time
do I have to pack?
>> Traci: Oh.
Oh, good.
[ Traci laughing ]
>> Abby: Mom looked
and sounded great.
I mean, she seemed like she was
back to her old self again.
>> Victor: Oh, okay.
>> Abby: Yeah, but I promised
her we wouldn't make any
wedding plans until we know
when she's gonna be home.
>> Devon: Oh, yeah, I wouldn't
dream of doing that.
>> Victor: But she sounded good.
>> Abby: She did.
Yes, and the doctors are
very pleased with her recovery.
>> Victor: Well, I'm sure the
news of you and Devon
tying the knot
is gonna speed her recovery.
She'll be home soon.
>> Abby: I think you're right.
But I promised. I mean,
we cannot speed anything up.
I mean, we can't put her under
any undue pressure.
>> Devon: No, no, not at all.
She needs to take as much
time as she needs.
'Cause I'm not going anywhere.
>> Victor: Well now,
I think this moment calls for
celebration, don't you?
>> Devon: I do.
>> Victor: Yeah. Excuse me.
Would you kindly bring us
the best bottle of champagne?
Thank you.
>> Devon: Thanks.
>> Alan: Here's to the end of
chapter one.
And to the beginning
of chapter two.
>> Traci: Yes. Eh bien to Paris
and all the
magnificent memories.
>> Alan: And to making new ones.
>> Traci: Yes.
Mm. I cannot wait
to show you my Los Angeles.
All of my favorite places.
There's this wonderful little
restaurant in Beverly Hills.
It's tucked away kind of
hidden. The food is great, but
the atmosphere, you'll love it.
And there's a spot
on the pier in Redondo.
It will take your breath away.
I try to visit it
every chance I get.
Oh, you're really gonna
like it, Alan.
>> Alan: I know I will.
Especially, if I have you as
a tour guide.
>> Traci: We can do the touristy
things, too, if you want to,
but I'd really like you to
see the real Los Angeles.
It's-- it's nothing like
the magic of Paris,
but it's got its own
quirky, elegant,
chic way about it.
[ Traci chuckling ]
>> Alan: I'm so glad
you came into my life.
>> Victor: To my
beautiful daughter.
I couldn't be more proud of you.
>> Abby: Thank you, Daddy.
>> Victor: Devon, you're the
wonderful son of one of the few
people that I ever trusted.
>> Devon: Oh. I very much look
forward to becoming your
son-in-law.
>> Victor: So, here's to the
merging of two of the most
prominent families
in Genoa City.
And you know, your dad
is smiling down on us.
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Victor: Neil Winters would
love this, okay? Salud.
>> Abby: Cheers.
>> Devon: Salud.
>> Summer: Look, I know that
we're cousins, Claire,
but we've never actually gotten
to know each other, right?
And that's mostly due to
the circumstances and how
messy it's been, let's say.
I mean, your aunt, kidnapping.
>> Claire: I know the things
that my aunt did to your family
were horrible,
but I'm hoping that we can put
all of that behind us now that
she's no longer a threat to us.
>> Summer: Well, some things are
still messy.
Everything is getting
worse between Kyle and me.
The only thing in my life
that's not a mess is
my relationship with Harrison.
He is the most important
thing to me.
>> Claire: I'm sure that he is.
>> Summer: I love him more
than you can ever know.
>> Claire: And it's clear
how much your little boy
loves you, too.
>> Summer: I'm...
I'm gonna go upstairs and
thank Harrison for the drawing.
And I'll leave it to Kyle
to explain why
he's not going to Paris.
>> Claire: I understand.
I'm just, uh,
I'm sorry that has to be
this way for everyone.
But, it's your decision to make.
>> Summer: That's right.
My son, my decision.
I'm glad that you get it.
>> Kyle: Is it possible that
Summer bribed the judge to
make this happen?
Somehow getting him to
rule that I can't take my own
son out of the country?
>> Jason: I know this judge.
He would never take a bribe.
>> Kyle: She can't get away
with this. I mean, I'm willing
to do whatever it takes to
stop this madness.
Can we appeal? There has
to be some way around this.
>> Jason: It could take weeks.
Can you push off your trip?
>> Kyle: No, I can't.
I've already scheduled
some crucial business meetings
that can't be pushed.
Certainly not by weeks. I mean,
the thought of telling Harrison,
he is going to be crushed.
All because Summer's determined
to be selfish and vindictive.
Well, two can play at that game.
