Young and the Restless Message Board

Oh, surely, you don't expect me to thank you? You are unbelievable. A monster with mascara. Jack

LOL, Ouch! But Gloria had a lot of gall thinking that Jack would actually thank her. But Jack needs to see his lawyer, so he can get in writing that Gloria signed over the house to him...or it won't stand up in court.

Lily/Cane/Chloe/Jill/Neil
Scene 1
CL

Lily is on the phone with Cane telling him that the doctor's office called. The pregnancy test was positive(now we know for sure)She is at CL, see him soon. Chloe says there she is. She has so much to tell her, so get a refill and let's talk. A coffee refill. Lily quickly says no tea, but chamomile. Chloe seems surprised of her choice and asks where is the Java Jolt? Lily heard that caffeine is bad for the skin. An impressed Chloe says props to her for taking care of the package. Well, she is right. No more and uses her fingers to show the gag motion. Lily states she isn't not bulimic. Chloe says good, let's talk about building a portfolio? Lily can't. She has an exclusive with Jabot. Chloe brushes it off as details. She has connections at all the top agencies in NY. She uploaded some of her photos to them. Do not say anything to Jabot, BTW.
Lily asks wait, NY? Chloe states she is " either you're in or you're out." And she is in, in! The camera loves her, she glow. Lily says maybe if she does Fresh Faces now, she can do all this somewhere down the line. Chloe retorts no. It doesn't work that way. This is her moment "You let it pass by and it will never come again." That comment really seems to impact Lily alot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cane asks Chloe if she saw Lily? Chloe replies she just went to the ladies room. Let's not pussyfoot around, okay? Is she keeping down her weight the old fashioned way? You know, with her finger? Cane states no. Chloe retorts that the boyfriend would be the last one to know. You know she's spends half of her time in the ladies room.
Cane doesn't know if she capable of putting herself in Lily's shoes, but her Mum was a world class model. And Lily's been thrust in the spotlight so quickly and now she's comparing herself to her Mom. She's insecure about it.
A suspicious Chloe asks so she goes to the bathroom to see how she looks? Cane lies that's right. Chloe retorts gee, she's literally making herself sick over it. Lily returns and joins them. She bluntly says that cutting to the chase, Cane just told her about "your up close and personal relationship with the bathroom." Why didn't she just say so yourself? Cane was just telling Chloe how she rush to the bathroom to check her makeup because she feels that everyone compares her to her mom. They really don't. Chloe says that she needs to realize that she is the one "person that you can and should tell anything to." Lily says good to know. Cane relates that he just a got a call from Nikki, and she would like to see them immediately in her office. Chloe says oh great, let's go. Cane stresses, just them. Chloe says okay. I'm not surprised that she didn't believe their lame story, then she calls Jabot to speak to Nikki, about the Fresh Face appearance in Chicago. Oh, she's out all morning? Well, she learned that Cane lied! Sooner or later, she is going to learn that Lily is pregnant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Neil says hi to Chloe. She greets and notes that she hasn't seen him since the last Jabot shoot. He should know that she is coming a really long way. Stunning, really. But, she got to be honest with him. She is afraid that she doesn't want it enough. Neil says that worries him. Ditto for Chloe. "Because if you have a true talent for something, and if you don't give it your all"
Neil has taught his kids "that if you do what you love, you'll love what you do. And if you love what you do, then you'll give it 110% all the time." Chloe says exactly. So then, maybe he could talk to her about her attitude. Neil can. He can do that. Because he think that what she really loves, what she wants, is to finish her education. That's why she isn't seeing her as dedicated to modeling as she'd like her to be. If he is right, and that means chucking the hot lights and the runway, then that's the way it's going to be. Chloe doesn't look impressed. And really, Neil has no right to tell Chloe what Lily wants to do with her life. That's Lily's decison not his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
Chancellor Mansion

Lily thought he was moving. Cane relates the condo that he put the bid on was taken off the market. Which is fine, because now he is going to need a two-bedroom place. Lily retorts what, because he thinks he is having the baby? Cane asks is she? Lily sighs and doesn't know. She is a wreck. It's like, she has talk to him, Colleen and Devon. Cane ask but not his Dad? Lily says her Dad is great. He really he is, but he's not my mom. And she need her mom. I felt for Lily as she said that.
Cane informs when he growing up, his uncle would tell him all these stories, stuff he liked to talk about; kangaroo hunting, goat herding, rugby. Wow, he loved to talk about rugby. And he used to dream about his fabulous Mum that lived in America and all the things he'd say to her when he met her. When he found her, you know?
Lily says he did. Cane did. And sometimes reality is just better than the dream. So he understand how she feels. He understand that she need her mum. Lily wish her mom had known him.
Cane think she'd approve? Lily says of her loving him, yes. Of her being pregnant? She flip out LOL. Cane says not so much Lily realizes that she has to tell him. Cane says they'll do that together. Lily states no, it should just be them. He is going to be so disappointed in her. Cane is right that Neil is a good man. He's isn't going to turn his back on her. A scared Lily hopes not. But when she picture the look on his face when he hears the news? She wants to run far, away.
Poor Lily, I just wanted to hug her there!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily calls her Dad at work. Neil asks his "baby girl" how was LA? Lily says it was great. Can they move their dinner up to lunch? It's really important. Neil lets her know that he would cancel a meeting with Warren Buffet to have lunch today with his daughter. See her at the club?
Lily will see him there. After she hangs up, Cane remarks that he could've come here. Lily wants to do this alone. And public is better than private.
Cane says whatever happens, he'll see you afterwards, okay? Poor Lily admits she is scared. I loved Cane, being there for her, by telling her to come here as he held her tight and tells her, don't be. Jill is sorry to interrupt. Lily says that's okay, she should go. Cane says call him. Afterwards, Jill asks "okay, son of mine, what did I just walk into? What's going on with Lily?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Jill asks if Chloe is still pushing her too hard?
Cane claims that Lily's overwhelmed with it, that's all. Jill could take care of this with one phone call. Cane says don't do that. Jill says no, Chloe works for Jabot, which means she works for her. Every time she sees Lily, she looks like she's on the verge of falling apart. Cane assures it's okay. She can handle it, okay? Jill asks so it's only work? That's it? Cane lies yeah. Jill asks there are no problems between the two of them? Cane states no, nope. Jill always get nervous when you get monosyllabic as he laughs. Jill tells him if he need to talk, he has mother sitting right here, ready to listen. They couldn't always say that. Cane was just talking to Lily about Rugby. She ever seen a Rugby match?
Jill doesn't think she has. Cane explains when he was 12, he played junior rugby. He was actually pretty good at it and was the tighthead prop.
Jill asks tighthead prop? Cane explains it was the was the forward on the front right side. Anyway, he was in this team and they got to the semi-finals in this big competition, so they all go to Alice Springs. And all the other kids had their parents turn up; their moms, their dads, their aunts and uncles. And they're playing and everyone's cheering and taking photos. Jill ask if his uncle didn't come to see him? A solemn Cane said no, he had something better to do. That's okay, because they lost, and, was crushed. So was he. Jill asks here was nobody there for him? Literally. Ah, poor Cane. He says it's worked out for the best Because all the other kids, they thought, he's so lucky, because he doesn't have to be embarrassed in front of his parents. He would've given anything, though, Mum, to have his parents there. Anything. Jill asks what made him think of this just now? Cane says her. She is sitting here now with her. Jill tells him that he is going to have this someday. "When you're sitting across from your son or daughter. And I hope and pray that your child makes you feel as loved and wanted as you just made me feel." Cane smiles, so does he. Jill would gladly sacrifice his life for her. Cane would do the same for his children. He has to go back to the office. Okay.
After he leaves, an distressed Jill figures out that Lily is pregnant. I wish that Cane had felt comfortable enough to tell her, but he perhaps he wasn't ready to confide in her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 3
AC

Colleen says anything else, let her know, then leaves. Lily is sorry she has to reschedule.
Neil says come on. If this is the worst thing that happens to him today, he is in good shape.
Lily stumbles to say there is something, this is hard. Neil says he already know what's going on.
A surprised Lily says he does. Neil knows she must be terribly conflicted. A pained Lily admits she is. She doesn't know what to do. Neil say shh, it doesn't have to be so tough. Chloe told her that her heart really isn't in the modeling, and this is what he thinks. That if she wants to stop, right, and focus all her attention on her education, he is going to back her 100%. All right? See, there, that wasn't that hard, was it? Lily doesn't want to disappoint you, dad.
Neil says she will never do that Then it hits him hard that it's not about her job, is it? Lily says no. A concerned Neil asks if she is in some kind of trouble? Lily says no, well..yes. Neil wants to know what is it? She sighs and admits to a stunned Neil that she is pregnant.
Neil asks if she is sure? Lily took the test three times, and then went to the doctor. Neil reminds that her mother and they gave her that safe sex talk a long, long time ago. What happened? Lily says it wasn't safe enough. Neil states evidently. What is she going to do? Lily doesn't know. That's why she needed to talk to him. Neil asks and the father? Lily says it's Cane. Neil figured that out. No, he meant, what does he think about it? If he's pressuring her in any way... Lily states no. Neil says she should tell him so he can... Lily insists he isn't pressuring heart all, okay? He just wants what's best for her. Neil asks which is? Lily states which is why he is here. Neil, having a hard time, says his daughter; not 21, pregnant, not married. All right, just, give him a second, all right? He takes a drink of water here. Lily asks if he hate her? A loving Neil asks

Hate you? Lily, come on. No, baby, I love you. I could never hate you. I just hate that this has happened. You know how I feel children, should be a choice, not an accident. It'll change your life forever.

He tells her that life will go on. He is going to help her however he can, all right? If he wants to stay in school, that's great. She want to even move back in with him... he'd like that, too. Nine months goes very quickly. Then she stuns him by saying she doesn't know if she is keeping the baby. I think that Lily needs to talk a medical counselor about her option. I wish that Aunt Olivia was there so Lily could talk to her.
But I thought that Kristoff and Christel were wonderful in their scenes today.

Jack/Sharon/Noah/Jill/Alistair/Jeffery/Gloria
Scene 1
AC

Jack announces tonight they sleep in their own home and bed. How's that sound, champ? Noah replies almost as good as tickets to the brewers when they play the dodgers. Sharon asks wait, almost? Noah says not nearly. He is just trying to guilt trip him into tickets, as Jack chuckles. Noah asks if he thought that Gloria changed her room at all? Jack replies if she did, they will see to it that it's brought back to normal. Sharon says they can even get those baseball posters that he wanted. Noah says cool. He kind of outgrown superheroes. Want to know the best part about moving back? Sharon asks that Gloria is gone, never to return? Noah says oh, yeah! I love Jack saying as they toasted with orange juice

Well, here is to life in a Gloria free zone!

Amen!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Alistair sits down with Jill, who tells him that he looks very spiffy. Alistair says thanks to her generosity. He is in her debt. Jill cryptically says helping their dear friend Gloria is payment enough. LOL. He relates that she had a rather rough time since they last spoke. Jill asks really? Nothing serious, she hopes? "Poor Alistair" says it's distressing to even tell her this tale. Perhaps if he had a fortifying drink... LOL. Jill bluntly thinks that clear heads should prevail here. So tell her everything and quickly, please. She has a meeting. Alistair relates the other day, he saw that loathsome lothario Bardwell here alone. So he assumed that man left Gloria to fend for herself. Jill says he went over to the house and.. He informs that another woman was there. Jill asks who? He replies a villainess. Jill asks what did she do? Alistair says she locked Gloria in the wine cellar. My hero LOL. A surprised Jill ask what? Alistair says yes. He brags as being as gallant as he is, he went down and rescued The Black Dot and they walked upstairs and saw them in flagrante delicto. LOL. Jill asks that Jeffrey was cheating on Gloria? Alistair replies in disgust, yes, that cad. Jill asks so what did Gloria do? He informs that she threw the bum and his scarlet woman out of the house. He tried to comfort her, but she needed to be alone. Jill asks why would Gloria put with that? Alistair says she's too kind-hearted for her own good.(only, he would say that LOL) Now he think that he is going to go over there and going to offer her these strong arms to give her solace. Jill calls him gallant. And maybe he will learn something that will save their dear Gloria from his clutches, and then call her right away. I just love Jill just plays Alistair like a fiddle!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jill plays Jeff next and asks if he feels like some company? Jeff loves it. Jill says good. So will Gloria be joining them? Jeff says it's just him this morning. He had an early business meeting. Jill asks how are the newlyweds? Jeff lies couldn't be better. He is one lucky man. They can hardly stand to be apart. Then the GC guy tells Jeff that won't be able to fix the drain in his shower until afternoon. Would he like another room? Jeff says no, that's fine. He'll just stay where he is. The guy is sorry for the inconvenience. Jeff admits finally there have been a couple of bumps along love's highway. Jill asks if they are still living apart? Jeff states it's temporary. Jill tells him that his brother and her were really good friends, and he used to confide in her that Gloria could be difficult.
Jeff laughs true. Jill says "So if you need a friend, I'm your woman."
I just love that she is setting him up too! I want Jill to find out why Jeffery is blackmailing Gloria.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jill informs that her various C.E.O.S tend to forget that Chancellor has many divisions and they're all important. And her job is just to keep them in line, keep them moving forward and that can be such a challenge. Jeff states a woman after his own heart. Jill asks love's a challenge? That would explain Gloria. LOL. Jeff says it would, but then, easy is really, no fun at all. Jill repeats no fun at all. Jeff is curious, why is she so interested in his marriage? Jill claims Gloria works for her. If she's happy at home, she's happy at work. Jeff will keep that in mind. Jill states not that she has to work, of course.(she never does LOL) She always tends to marry very well. Jeff says present company included. Jill says how nice

Of course, her husbands do have the bad habit of dying on her.

LOL, true!

Jeff will try to be the exception. There is something she can tell him. Jill says name it.
Jeff asks if John Abbott a good man? Gloria talks about him like he walked on water. Jill states he was a very good man. And so was his brother. What a shame. Jeff asks what? Jill states that Gloria can't see what a good man she has now. Oh, she just buttering him up good!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
Abbott Manor

A lonely Gloria flashbacks to the time when John brought her flowers, due to working so much. Later Gloria gets upset when the moving guy damages a table that her and John got in New England. The guy points that she was the one that said she wanted them to move fast. Gloria retorts don't he get smart with her. Unlike him, that can't replaced. She orders him to put it down! Alistair powerfully adds to do it! And keeps his hands where he can see them. Gloria doesn't want him to interfere. He would have called 911, but lacked a cell phone. She tells him that they are making a mess here. He asks if they are robbing her? Gloria replies they aren't thieves. They are very clumsy movers. He asks why? Removing memories of her foul husband and his harlot? LOL, Gloria states no. She is moving. She is leaving this house and never looking back. Thank goodness! She better mean that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alistair asks why on earth would she leave this oasis? It makes her so happy. Gloria doesn't think that he really wants to hear a long story, does he? Alistair says the better part of Valor is discretion. And to be her confidante would be an honor. Gloria states that John Abbott loved her. He welcomed into his home and defended her to his children, and he always treated her with respect and looked at her with so much love. Too bad she didn't show the same respect to him! She actually started to believe she was lovable. And respectable. She thought living here again would make her feel that way. No, she didn't. She wanted to stick to Jack, that was the main reason. He asks she doesn't. Gloria tells him that fighting to keep this place cost "me my sons and nothing's worth that." She doesn't seem to realize that they got fed up with her using them for her selfish purpose and the mansion was the last straw. She remarks talking about her love for John to someone who looks just like him and chuckles. He ask then he was a handsome rogue, ah? Gloria says indeed he was. And she isn't going to cry. Giving this place up to prove to her sons they were right and that they come first. Oh, please LOL. Lots of houses out there, and she can afford every single one of them. So until she find the right one, she'll just enjoy the amenities of the club. I wouldn't hold my breathe here! Alistair says how auspicious. That's where he is staying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff ask what's going on here? Why is he here? And why is all his stuff out in the driveway?
Gloria states he is her guest. And she is moving out. Jeff asks since when? Gloria informs that the movers have finished packing, so she guesses right now. Jeff asks why didn't you tell me?
Alistair retorts she owes him nothing.

I didn't ask you, you pusillanimous pile of pickled pig poo.

LMAO!! How did Ted Shackleford managed to say that without laughing. I wonder if that took a few takes LOL.

Gloria tells him to be quiet. He's not the one who got caught red-handed with his mistress. A frustrated Jeff show how many times does he have to explain? Nothing happened! A disgusted Alistair says oh, the something he saw was not nothing. A stern Jeff order him to please leave him and his wife alone? Gloria bluntly says he isn't moving! Alistair wasn't planning to. Jeff asks what? Then Gloria boasts that Alistair is everything that Jeffery isn't. He is as handsome as her former husband John. He is kind and supportive. And he listens to her. And he's very faithful, very, faithful. And she doesn't think anybody would blame her if she claimed she'd fallen madly in love! She kisses him to Jeffery's distain. What a drama queen!! An unimpressed Jeffery isn't fooled as she says she doesn't really want him. She is just doing this to get back at him. He walks out and laughs outside. (Sighs) Gloria was just pathetic doing that. And this so called triangle waste of time, IMO.
After he leaves Gloria pulls away, saying that's enough. He exclaims his love! Gloria points outs she isn't his love. Apparently, she isn't his either. She sounds disappointed about Jeffery.
Alistair says it's okay. He understand, she needs time. May he lend a hand? Gloria thinks he has done quite enough for one day. He says that is precisely how she feel. Ditto from Gloria. He shall never forget. Adieu as he kisses her hand and goes. That man is so clueless not to see that Gloria is using him to get Jeffery back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Jack asks what now? She change her mind again? Gloria says no, she is on her way out. It's not that easy. Jack retorts sure it is. Step outside and close the door, gently. Sharon suggests to Noah, why doesn't he go and get the dog some water? A ticked Noah retorts as long as she doesn't touch him. Good, he still has got her number! He tells Fisher to Come on, boy and let's go get some water. Jack sarcastically says no booby traps? No improvised explosive devices?
Then she has gall to asks no ounce of compassion?
She showed none to Jack, when he moved out!
Jack says surely, she doesn't expect him to thank her? He is right that she is unbelievable. A monster with mascara. Exactly!!
Gloria ask Sharon asks she understands? Sharon honestly did, in the beginning, but then once she involved her son and his dog, it gave new meaning to the word "selfish." Amen!! She used to, in order to boot the family out of the house.
Jack bluntly states

Don't let my calm demeanor fool you. Take your bag and go. Be happy it's not a trash bag.

Bravo, Jack!!

Gloria whines just can't believe he is so different from his father. He loved her and he wanted her to have this house.(Liar! He left it to the kids)) But as much as it means to her, she know it means more to him. So she is leaving. He might at least muster a little "thank you." Who's the monster, Jack?

She is. What a spiteful hateful woman, she is at the moment. She has learned nothing. Why should Jack thank Gloria? That's like thanking the thief that stole your money! And Gloria irritated me here by acting like the poor victim here. BTW, she still acts entitled to have this house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sharon tells Jack that Noah and her are going to go get his computer. Jack asks if they are sure that he doesn't want some help? LOL as Noah said, "No offence, but I think I can probably set it up and pack it up faster than you can." Jack says of course, he can. He is a kid. Hey, hurry home. Sharon is right that sounds good. Jack says doesn't it and helps Sharon with her coat.
After they leave, that annoying Ghost John asks if he is taking a victory lap? Jack asks why not? He deserves one. Ghost John says Nah, it was a forfeit. "You won because she let you." Oh brother! Jack is right that doesn't matter in the standings. It was a hard-fought, bitter, ugly game, and the home team came out victorious. Amen. Ghost John say she's the home team, too.
Jack is right, hardly. Ghost John tells him to think it through. She gave you those papers to tear up, and she's gone because she wanted to do what was right for him. Quite noble.

You can't use the words "Gloria" and "noble" in the same paragraph.

ICAM!! Until the legal papers are drawn up, her words mean nothing!

John says it's her loss. "This remarkable woman right in front of you, and you cannot see it." Ugh, no, that fool can't see that she isn't
I loved Jack saying "ever have. Never will. No matter how many times you remind me."
Then Ghost John says he isn't going to remind him anymore. Jack says thanks him. John says because he is saying good-bye. Jack remarks until the next time. John says he doesn't understand. He isn't going to be here anymore. Good riddance. A lost Jack asks what does he mean? What is he saying? John has been here for him when he needed him. He has given him all the guidance in the world that he can. "The time has come for you to live what you've learned or not." An upset Jack isn't sure that he agree with his decision.
John says it's not his decision. An emotional Jack is a better man when he is here. John replies sometimes yes, sometimes no. He has been watching. Jack, more upset, asks why not? Why, because he has the house? He means, stay. He'll give it back to Gloria. John tells him, it's time. A desperate Jack says listen to him
A tearful John tells him

I love you, son. I love you so. Just make me proud.

Sniff, that sounds like the John Abbott, that I have always loved. The other one, I couldn't stand

Poor Jack looks lost as he says, "Dad?" I thought Jerry and Peter were so wonderful in their raw emotional scenes. They both brought tears to my eyes today. I miss the living John, and wish TPTB hadn't killed him off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 3
Chancellor Mansion

Jill asks if she is getting a return on her investment? Alistair replies most certainly. He happens to have splendid news. Gloria is moving to the club. A surprised Jill asks she is moving out? Alistair reports indeed she is. He witnessed it with his own eyes. Jill knows that Bardwell's staying at the club. He notes separate rooms, no doubt. Jill asks how does he know that? He replies because she threw him out of the house again, after she kissed him passionately. He is a wonderful kisser, you know? LOL, what an ego!
Jill asks wait a second, she kissed him in front of Jeffery? Maybe it was for show. Yes, it was.
Alistair asks may he make an observation? She seem rather interested in Bardwell. Jill asks excuse her? Alistair wouldn't advise it, because he's not a very honorable man. A ticked Jill assures him that she is interested in Gloria and his business, okay? Now, has he gotten any closer to figuring out why she married him in the first place? He says not yet, but he is working on a plan. Jill tell him to work fast. No kidding!! so! Because all he seems to do is worship Gloria, which isn't impressing me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jana/Kevin/Lauren/Michael
CL

In the patio area, Michael tells Lauren to hug him harder! Lauren will and she came right from the airport. Michael says missing her doesn't begin to cover it. Lauren is so happy to be back as they kiss also. She got him good. A happy Michael says look, a present for him! A rhino! Lauren says no, she is going to put a bow around this later. This is for Fen. How is her baby? Michael says he is home with his Nanny. He misses her. Lauren asks what about his Mom? Has he called her? Michael asks why would he do a thing like that? Lauren replies because she is moving today. Michael retorts the Well, the minute Gloria forwards an address to them, they will send her a tasteful housewarming present. Lauren ask that he doesn't think she's is going to move?
Michael states affirmative. Lauren says there is one thing that she loves more than John's mansion. ROFTL as Michael said liquor? I vote money and men LOL.
Lauren says Funny! Kevin and him. And she think Gloria be willing to give up the house if she could get her family back. I'm with Michael, not buying it. Because like he said, there is always an angle with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Michael says he is fine. Lauren insists he isn't. He points out that she should be happy, not worried. She wanted them to get some space from Gloria. Lauren says he is right. It worked great. She's moving out and she's leaving them alone. Only problem is, he is a wreck. Great, now she is making Michael sounding co-dependent on Gloria.
Michael tells her that his peace of mind will come attached to the check that Jack is going to write him when he win this lawsuit. I was glad to hear that Lauren didn't want that. But Michael does, which ticks me off.

Why don't you do something that your wife wants? Gloria has proven that she's changed. You're the only one that won't accept it. Call your mother.

Okay, I love Lauren, but she is really irritating me here pushing Gloria on Michael. One good act doesn't prove that she has changed, IMHO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin kisses Jana on the neck as she is on lap top. He asks more haunted houses? Jana has to have to find the perfect one for their wedding. She wants ambience, a little danger and loads of moss. You know, she could really use some help.
Kevin offers to help her take a look. Jana says no offence, but she could really use someone of the female persuasion, like his mum. She gave up the mansion with such dignity, she deserves a reward. Ugh! She does not! Then she gets that look in her eyes and let's ask her to move in with them! Okay, what fiancée would asks her future mother-in-law to move in her? Kevin is right, by asking if is she is on drugs? LOL
Jana sys no, she is serious! The Blue Dot's(Amber) room is empty.

Hell no. No. No. Look, if my mom gets you sucked into her mind games, we are both going to need a lot of therapy, and that is going to mean a wedding at city hall, because it's all we'll be able to afford. No.

LOL, all he said was true! Bravo Kevin! Jana looks disappointed. I think that Jana wants Gloria nearby because she is still a gold digger!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael says hey "you two." Kevin ask, what's up? Lauren asks how they are doing? Michael says they need to talk about Gloria. Jana says, they do. Michael bluntly says Brother to brother. Jana, would she mind making Lauren something frothy and over there? Please? Lauren retorts subtle. Jana says come on, Lauren.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael asks what does he think of the old hag's grand performance? LOL. Kevin point out that she commanded Jack to tear up that court order? He wish he'd been rolling tape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jana states that Gloria was brilliant yesterday. Lauren asks if she really believe that she's changed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin knows that people can change. Michael scoffs. Kevin said they both did. Why should Gloria be the exception? Michael states they are talking about Gloria here. This is someone who can't say "how are you?" without an agenda. No kidding

Jana thinks there is no agenda this time. She is sure of it. Look at how she's embraced her, for instance. Lauren nailed that she also knows that she'll work on Kevin and she's right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael knows he is right. She is not finished with this mansion. Kevin points out that she tore up the papers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lauren explains that Michael will say that she tore up the papers for show. Jana has spoken to her more than he has. It's broken her heart. What heart??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin think her heart may, in fact, be broken.
LOL, almost echoing Jana's thoughts here.
Michael laughs, what, because she tore up the court order? The grand gesture? Kevin argues there was witnesses. Michael points out that's not going to hold up in court.(That's what I thought too) There is a statute that she talked--
as a lightbulb goes off in his head. Kevin asks what??
He tells him

She talked to another lawyer and he told her about the statutes of fraud. You cannot convey real property without a written agreement. Gloria is pulling a Gloria. She's not going anywhere.

A frustrated Kevin rolls his eyes and realizes that he fell for it. I love that Michael is around to keep him grounded, because lets face it... he is very gullible. I don't trust Gloria's motives for giving it up either. And Gloria hasn't changed, just changed her tactics, IMHO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The foursome meets up and Lauren says "We believe her." LOL as Michael says they don't! LOL. I enjoyed how the Y&R editors even flowed their separate conservations, then merged them into one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael states two to two. Well, genetics breaks the deadlock. They win. Lauren retorts not too fast. Kevin, why don't he think his mother's being sincere? Michael say hey stop hammering away at him. No kidding. They have known Gloria a long time. Longer than her. IA! Lauren asks remember her? The one that told the two of them to toughen up? Yes, what happened to her LOL
Michael asks what did she do? "Wave a gold watch in front of you two and hypnotize you?" LOL, I think she did. Kevin asks or pull the old switcheroo? Jana pleads for them to give her one more last chance. Lauren points she made a grand gesture. They make a small one. Little ones and she shows with her fingers. Michael gives in fine. She worn him down. All right, no deliberate efforts to push her away. Kevin? He casually says if he say so. Michael bluntly says that does not mean arms wide open. Gloria says she can stand on her own. Kevin sarcastically says let's see how long it takes for her to tip over.
Michael states at least she has enough money to buy her own home. Lauren goes amen to that. Michael bluntly points out that she's lived with us once. She will not live with them again. Kevin has a real skeptical look on his face

Final Scene
AC

A lonely Gloria puts her "G" down with the rest of her stuff. Then she makes a call

Michael, it's your mother. I left the mansion. I'm at the club. Alone. I don't think I can stay here. It's cold. It's sterile. And it's not home, so... please don't make me stay here. Can I move in with you?

Ugh, why am I not surprised! Michael better tell that rich mother of his, "No way in Hell!"

Kevin2: "Look, if my mom gets you sucked into her mind games, we are both going to need a lot of therapy, and that is going to mean a wedding at city hall, because it's all we'll be able to afford. No."
