Young and the Restless Message Board

I feel like I lost someone that I love with all my heart, and I never had a chance to meet them. Cane

Sniff! I just wanted to hug that grief-stricken man at that very moment. And Lily so devastated devastated too, thought she tried to keep a brave front. She really got me at the end of the episode(sniff) Christel and Daniel just knocked their performances into the ballpark today, IMHO

Scene 1
Indigo

Amber orders two lemonades. The waitress asks extra thirsty. Amber explains that she is waiting for her boyfriend. One for him, and well if you could call him her boyfriend, actually. They had their first date last night. She notes that the Blue Dot work fast. Amber says it's kind of complicated. Her ex and his ex are together, and they're having a baby. The woman says awkward . Amber rambles on a mile and minute and says no kidding? And, when she see her ex and his ex and the way he looks at her, just with so much love And her boyfriend, if you could call him that, doesn't look at her like that. "You know, but you can't really make a guy look at you like that, you know? I mean, he either kind of feels that way or he doesn't, and if he doesn't feel that way, there's nothing you can really do about it, right? So..." I don't blame that waitress for wanting to go get those lemonades Amber just wouldn't shut up!!
Daniel arrives and says hey, hot stuff. Ooh. It's kind of like déjà vu all over again. Back to the scene of the crime here You know, for a crappy first date, it sure, ended with a bang. They both laugh. BTW, I told Michael G.(Daniel) that he didn't like Amber with Daniel. He just laughed and said that everybody is telling him that at the fan event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel remarks it's going to be tough to get away with stuff. You know, when you first start dating someone, and that best behavior crap. Amber retorts that some guys stay on their best behavior if they really, really like a girl, you know? Daniel says yeah. How exhausting is that?
Amber notes that Cane didn't seem that way. Daniel asks what? Amber replies with Lily last night. Did he see the way he looked at her? Like she was the most precious thing in the universe.(Exactly) And she had this glow, and she seemed happy, and cane seemed happy, too, so. Daniel notes maybe it's not such a shock for a guy his age. Him, personally, she likes her freedom, and that's why they're great together, right? Amber says right. Daniel points out they're both spontaneous, fun-loving, low-maintenance, high-temperature and living in the now. And he is kind of digging it. Amber puts a fake smile, but she isn't. She wants what Cane/Lily have!!

Scene 2
Restless Style

Nick asks WTH is the receptionist?( No kidding, Amber is never there.) And where is the copy for Lauren's column? Phyllis doesn't know. But she wants Sharon to answer the phones. Please, she is swamped. Sharon says no. Actually, she is handling her own crisis right now. There's an editorial hole to fill. Phyllis asks since when? Sharon: replies, since she cancelled the vintage couture piece. It doesn't work. Phyllis retorts, she is sorry. That's 1,300 words and two pages of photos. She can't kill it.
Sharon bluntly said she just did. Like she said, it doesn't work. Phyllis points out that's an editorial decision. She can't make that on herr own. Nick informs that was Felicia Forrester. They are so pumped about their ad, they want to go multipage. Sharon gasps that's fantastic.
Phyllis agrees it is, but it's not that simple. They have to reconfigure the whole thing, and there's not a lot of time. Nick doesn't care. They have to make room, because they've already wired their payment. They want Lily for an emergency shoot, so find her ASAP. Sharon says all right. Phyllis says she should find her.
Sharon will.
Later Sharon tells Phyllis that she listen. She found a story that a freelance writer sent to them on spec to replace the vintage couture article, and it has lots of photos. Phyllis says that's great, but it's unnecessary. The vintage story runs. Sharon asks can he ask why? Phyllis replies because they already agreed on the table of contents, that's why. Amber, with Daniel, says to check it out. Daniel notes that's the backdrop from their ad. Sharon thought that monstrosity looked familiar. LOL Phyllis liked it so much, she wanted to have it framed. Daniel notes this is incredible. He means, with her sitting in front of it, if she is wearing one of the designs, it'll be like a living advertisement for the clothing line. Amber should wear her designs to work Like the really Restless out-there ones, don't they think? It was funny as Sharon said no and Phyllis said absolutely Daniel thinks that's a great idea. Phyllis exclaims it's a great idea. It's so cutting-edge. People come in. They see her designs, it's very "Restless Style." Amber goes wow, and thanks her. She didn't think that she liked her designs. Phyllis asks is she kidding? She loves her designs. They're really growing on her. LOL, yeah right. I think she is only liking them to tick Sharon off
Amber says his Mom thinks her designs are hot.
Daniel says look who designed them. She goes to desk and isn't happy when the telephone rings interrupt her so call phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amber is busy working as annoying Daniel pesters about playing the up-and-coming fashion photograph and the hot young designers. She retorts that Ms. Moore is really busy right now. Daniel tells her that no one's watching. He thinks
it's a great time to check out some of the most intimate apparel. Then the Blue Dot explodes and rambles on, "You know what, Daniel? Cut it out! I mean it! I am not some vending machine you can come and snack on anytime you want. You know what? Why do guys always do this, huh? You want a girl who is fun and spontaneous, and then you treat her like an all-night convenience store, where you can just come in anytime you want, do whatever you want, and you know what? I've just had it." Poor Sharon and Phyllis looks so embarrassed and awkward.
Daniel asks what did he do? And then, she shouts she is back to thinking that they never should have sex. The looks on Sharon/Phyllis's face are absolutely prices But Amber totally acted unprofessional by screaming like a banshee at Daniel! Daniel was no better, harassing The Blue Dot at work. Both of them, acted unprofessional at work. Phyllis, Nick and Sharon should reprimand for their actions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phyllis asks the Blue Dot if she needs something?
Amber says to just to apologize for acting psycho earlier. Phyllis brushes it off that they all have our moments. Don't worry. Amber knows it was wrong of her to go off on Daniel at work. Phyllis assure her they're good. Don't worry. Amber asks really? Amber says okay, good. Because, she was psyched that she really liked my designs and she want her to like her, too, you know? She loves working here. LOL, the expression on Phyllis' face as she rather be anywhere than talk to Amber.
Phyllis quickly says she likes her. Why don't she make her a cappuccino? Amber says no problem.
Phyllis suggests she make one for herself while she at it. LOL. Amber thinks it's so great of her. Take time out of her day to talk to her? You know, because, she really do need someone to talk to. Phyllis has that "oh no" on her face LOL. Amber was thinking, she really, like Daniel. Like possibly, like, forever. ROFTL, the "help" look on Phyllis' fake smiling face. The phone rings and she nervously says, "Excuse me, please. "Restless style." Amber is a real pest trying to be Phyllis' friend here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nick says that Nikki made a few tweaks to the Jabot copies. They are good on the "Best of Fall." What's been going on around here? Phyllis replies perfume strip fight with the brand manager. Yeah, she says because they're also online and in print that she should get a discount on her strips. Nick says it sounds like fuzzy math to him. Phyllis told her no, and there's also a meltdown between.. Sharon interrupts she needs to talk to her about the vintage fashion article. Nick asks what's the problem? Phyllis retorts there is no problem. Vintage is so hot right now. It's on every red carpet. Did she see the piece? She means, it was gorgeous. Sharon agrees with her and Phyllis says good. Sharon states why she want it pulled. Those photos made her want to hit auction sites for vintage collectibles, not shop at Fenmore's. That's a good point. Phyllis points that they've gone over this. Magazine, catalogue; they're two entirely different things. Nick states they need to play to the advertisers, and vintage web sites-- it's just not it. Besides, Forrester's expanding, they have to give them room. So they cut this article, all right? Sharon thanks him. After she leaves, a ticked she just undermined her. Nick says no, she retorts oh yeah. Nick tells that's not what happened. All right, he is just keeping's things moving here. Daniel interrupts if he has a second to go over the proofs for the travel piece? Nick tells him to give him one second, bud. All right? One second. He asks Phyllis if she did have some details on a meltdown? Phyllis can't recall LOL. Nick loves her. Then the pest Amber just won't leave Phyllis alone telling her she can't tell her how much she appreciate her taking time out for her like this. Phyllis was funny as she said she wants to talk to her. She is in over her head right now. Finally the Blue Dot gets the hint that she is totally busy, and going to get out of here. Nick is trying to talk business with a distracted Daniel, staring at the Blue Dot. He asks if they are together? Daniel says yeah. Nick thought they were just friends. Daniel doesn't know. She is just a little crazy. That's putting it mildly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Daniel asks Amber, did the art department get a delivery today? Amber says it just came. She should have buzzed him. Daniel says that's okay. "You know, you can buzz me anytime." ugh! She tell him to buzz off. Daniel asks what is she ticked off at? Amber says like he doesn't know.
Daniel says no, he doesn't know. Amber mockingly says "Oh, we're just so cas. We're just hanging out, having a good time, having sex." Daniel asks what's the matter with that? The sex is great.
Amber points out see? Daniel asks if he wants him to say that the sex is terrible? Amber whines no, She wants him to say that there are more than two kinds of women in this world: "the Lily's who get the happily ever afters, and the me that get happy never, just right now." She wants to feel a glow because somebody wonderful feels just crazy about her. Is that too much to ask for? Daniel tells the Blue Dot that he is crazy about her. Amber says no glow. Daniel tells the Blue Dot that she is wrong. Every time he looks at her, she sees the glow. Amber retorts, no he isn't. Daniel does, he thought she knew that.
An upset Amber cries asks how is she supposed to know if her never tell her? Boy, she is just pathetic here! Daniel tells her to come on. She knows what he wants to order for lunch. She knows that she likes roller coasters, right? That he hates bumper cars, and will cry at a chick flick as long as nobody can see her. Right? She know him. And she thought that she knew that.
As they kiss(ugh), Phyllis asks to tell her that's just a fling, please. Nick points out that's really a fling kind of kiss. A horrified Phyllis ask if they are still doing it? Yes, Phyllis they are! Again those two are unprofessional here and maybe should be fired for it, if this behavior continues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikki/Victoria/Nick/Adam
Cottage

Nikki remarks that the christening was absolutely beautiful. Victoria agrees. The whole time, I just kept thinking what a miracle Reed is That he was even able to come into this world. Nikki points out that he wasn't the only miracle today.
Victoria asks what does she mean, that she let Sabrina stay? Nikki has to say, that she was very surprised. I liked Victoria stating that she didn't want Reed's christening to be about Daddy and her. Nikki is right that she took the high road. She is proud of her for that.(Ditto) It's just more proof what a wonderful mother she is are. That is so sweet of her to say. Victoria doesn't know why that should surprise her. She learned it from her. I loved Nikki smiling at that moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Victoria confides to her mother that she does want to be a good mother, so much. Nikki assures her that she will be. She'll make mistakes. Everybody does, but just know that when he does forgive her, because she will have taught him how. Victoria says yeah, but if she wants to teach him, then she have to show him, and with Dad and Sabrina. Nikki understands that is very tough. Victoria tells herself, so they're attracted to each other. That's their business. That's not her. But she just walks around angry all the time. Nikki is right that's because they hurt her. They hurt a lot of people. Amen. Victoria explains but the anger's exhausting. She want to let it go, she really does. She just don't know how. Those are very realistic emotions that she is experiencing. Nikki picks up the Bible, saying there is a "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Amen! I really do like when the writers show Nikki's religious faith influences her life.
Victoria asks is that how she forgave TGVN so many times? Nikki sighs, and doesn't know about that. She had a higher goal. She wanted her kids to have a mother and a father. Maybe she gave up too much of herself fin the process. She doesn't know, but what it came down to is, she wanted to stay married more than stay angry. Victoria asks doesn't after who was right and who was wrong?
Nikki said it mattered.

But I somehow learned that love is more important than hate, and when I finally got that, I learned how to forgive.

Wonderful words of wisdom from Nikki!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
Nick says he can run three Jabot photos for the skin care story. So out of these four, which does she care the least about? Victoria remarks that she just listening to you. Maybe there's another alternative. Nikki asks like what? Victoria suggests, run two. Bigger, brighter, bolder, that works better. So she does two, this one and this one, eye shadow and makeup base. They're the edgiest packages." Nikki thanks her, even though she works for the competition. Nick states it doesn't matter. A good idea is a good idea. Vick, she knows her stuff. Victoria thanks him, not that she has to think about cosmetics anymore. Nicks because TGVN moved her to acquisitions? Now she just go out, and find some cosmetic firms to buy. Victoria could if she wanted to, but I'd rather stay with BON. Nikki points out that he could do a lot better job than Adam, that's for sure. Victoria says not in Dad's mind. The way Adam bulldozed her, he better do a good job. Nikki says they know who's side she is on, but when it comes to business, nobody bulldozes over VN, not even his long-lost son. Nick doesn't know about that. Victoria retorts that she hasn't seen this guy in action. TGVN II has figured out what they never did.

How to work with Victor Newman I in perfect harmony.

Nick nailed it right there. Plus, Jr, has got Victor twisted around his little finger to give him exactly what he wants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikki says they go with two photos. Nick has already called in the new captions. Nikki has found a couple of typos. Nick says it's still a rough copy. Nikki then makes the corrections. Victoria asks if she is sure that she doesn't want to be the copy editor? Nikki is sure. Nick is out of here, and don't laugh. They already laying out issues 2&3. Victoria points out that some magazines work 5 months ahead. Nick says bring it on. Nikki can tells how much she is enjoying this. Nick remarks that he forgot how amazing life can be if you actually enjoy going into your job. Nikki says all right. Don't pressure his sister, but she knows, there's always a place for her at Jabot. Nick says or at "Restless Style." Victoria has been thinking about that, more than ever. Good for you, Victoria! I hope she does quit NE after what Victor demotes her later on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later, Adam is outside the door with a gift. He looks through the window to see Nikki/Victoria chatting on the couch. He looks sort of sad and doesn't knock on the door. He drops the gift by the front door instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikki asks if she is sure that she doesn't want her to stay with the baby while she goes up to the main house? Victoria says she is fine. Gabby just texted her. She's on her way. She does wondered why TGVN summoned her, though. A causal Nikki says she knows her father. Probably the minute the christening was over, he was back into work mode. Victoria just doesn't want to run into Sabrina again. Or get another lecture about how she should be okay with their, whatever it is.
Nikki says no kidding. Well, she call her later if she need her. Victor will and loves her as they hug. Nikki is off to meet David.
After Nikki exits, Victoria finds the gift. She opens the card and it reads, "Adam's voice: "Reed, hope you like the gift. I've seen your mom wear one of these, and I thought you might like your own. God bless, Adam." What a touching gift and Victoria looks very moved by the gift. It's small moments like this, that we see Adam does care for his half-sister and his nephew.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
AC

David thanks Oliver, for meeting with him. He retorts thanks for nothing. He thought they had a contract. David thought he did. Unfortunately, the big boss doesn't know how to read a cost estimate. Oliver asks and? David says that she wants to stick with the regular supplier. Oliver asks if he offered to share his kickback with her? David retorts that's not very funny. He want to make this deal with him, all right? And, yes, he does appreciate a finder's fee. Now listen to him. His fiancée runs Jabot, so he is going to try. Sneaky little bastard, I knew that deal of his was shifty. Thank goodness, Jill stopped that. But David is going to use Nikki, to try to push that deal through. Jerk!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David think it's a good thing she got to spend some extra time with Reed and Victoria. He hardly spoke to her at all during the christening. Nikki bluntly says because he was so distracted. David asks what does she mean? Nikki points out all those phone call. David already told her, it was Jabot business. Nikki bluntly wants to just cut through all of this nonsense? From one addict to another, it's very clear. It doesn't matter if it's a drink or if it's a bet that he wants, he is jumping out of his skin. David says it wasn't Jabot. Nikki says at least you're admitting it.
David says it was personal. She has been stalling on the wedding date. I'm tired of David pushing Nikki to marry him. He was trying to put together something special to surprise her. That is such bull. Nikki asks really? That's why he was so jumpy? David says it's not like she is an easy woman to surprise. Nikki looks like she doesn't believe him... good..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN/Adam/Neil/ Victoria
Ranch house

Adam asks TGVN, how was the ceremony? He replies it was wonderful, thanks. He understand that J.T. Invited you to come by. Adam confirms, he did. Victor asks were he too busy? Adam notes that somebody's got to mind the ship. He hoped it was a wonderful christening. Victor says it was, now while he was gone in NY, he thought about your expanded role at NE. Adam has to admit, ever since he mentioned it, he has been thinking about it, too. Ditto for TGVN. Things are going to change at the company, he thinks for the better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Adam states that mergers and acquisitions was his focus in business school. Victor says that is that is what Victoria's in charge of right now. Adam notes she's doing a great job, too, for the most part, but he could do better. My, my, what an ego!
TGVN ask if they suggest they switch roles? Adam is sure that Victoria would love to get Beauty Of Nature back, and, running acquisitions is really right up his alley. Victor says not a bad idea, especially if Neil takes him under his wing. Adam says it would be his pleasure. Victor says to let him think about it. I saw the small smirk on Adam's face. He knows that Victor will give him exactly what he wants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN thanks Neil for coming by. Please have a seat. Neil asks what can he do for him. Victor has thought of giving Adam an expanded role at Newman enterprises. He would like you to be his mentor. Neil asks really? Isn't he relatively new to the company? Victor says he is highly qualified. Why? Because he studied it???? That doesn't make him qualified yet. He needs experience in the work place to do that.
Neil points out that he went through this with Nick, and he wasn't ready for... Victor retorts there is no comparison between Nick and Adam. Adam has an MBA from Harvard business school. He has one from Stanford. He think he'll be the perfect person to show him the ropes Neil asks about Victoria? Victor notes she is very good at business, but this is what is good for the company. It has nothing to do with family. I am glad that Neil called on his bull by saying

Well, Victor, with all due respect, I think it has everything to do with family.

Bravo, Neil by telling it as is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Victoria thanks TGVN for letting them have the christening here. He was happy to have it here. Now he wants to discuss a bit of business with her. He wants to give Beauty of Nature back to her. A happy Victoria says that's great. Thanks so much. Victor tells her she is welcome. But she wants Adam to take over the mergers and acquisitions department. A shocked Victoria says he is giving him her job? Victor says she is very good at what you do. But she is busy with family right now. Victoria asks if he is speaking as her employer or her father? Victor says she is not only busy at family, but Newman too. Victoria asks Adam's not? Victor points out that doesn't have family, does he? A pained Victoria states that he is rewarding him?

I'm not rewarding him. I'm just saying that he can be more focused on a very important part of our company

How insulting that he says that to her. Poor Victoria looked so hurt as once again, Victor yanks the rug underneath her feet. Victor is discriminating against Victoria, at the work place. She should sue him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile a women comes to see Adam in his room. A surprised Adam asks Skye, what is she doing here? Skye says just in the neighborhood. Adam retorts the neighborhood of NY. Skye says their meeting went so well. she was thinking of another joint venture. Then they share a hot kiss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cane/Lily/Neil/Karen/ Katherine/Jill
Scene 1
Neil's Condo

A sympathetic Neil, is sorry that Lily has to go through this. Cane asks if she need anything?
A down Lily sighs, "Listen, you guys don't have to feel sorry for me, okay? It is what it is, and it's just. time to move on.
Neil suggests that he go grab them something to eat? BTW, I love that Lane is still holding hands in this scene. A tired Lily isn't hungry, she just wants to sleep. Cane will be here, when she wakes up. Lily tells no, he doesn't have to wait.
She kisses him on the cheek, and heads to her room.
Afterwards poor Cane sighs, he doesn't know how to help her. A supportive Cane tells him it's going to take a lot of time, and love. She's probably going to be out for a while. He will have her call her when she wakes up.

If it's all right with you, I'd like to stick around. I don't want to leave her alone.

Ah, what a good man, he is. Always putting Lily first in his life. That's why I love Cane so much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the music plays, Cane likes this music, Neil reflects, "Once Dru and I, my wife, we took this trip to Paris together, and, man, we found this, uh, this sexy little Corsican restaurant on the left bank, the- kind of place that they didn't bring you the check. You just pay what you could afford, but they had the most amazing food and this-- kind of cheap red wine. It was called plonk. And we would just sit there and eat and drink and talk and eat and drink and talk some more. And that's where I first heard this album." Ah, just Neil talking about Dru, makes me miss them together.
Cane notes that Lily likes it, too. Neil is sure because it reminds her of her mother. Cane then gets a call from Katherine, "Hey, Grandma." Katherine was wondering if he and Lily would,, like to join them at the club? And well, Jill and her are anxious to, hear about the ultrasound.
Cane says okay, let's not talk right now. He'll see themu there. After hanging up, he tells Neil that go to take care of this. Neil gave good advise that he just say what's in his heart, all right? They've lived, they both know that joy and sadness are on the opposite sides of the same moment. They'll help him get through this, just like he is going to help Lily get through this.
Cane is going to check on her before he leaves. He wants to make sure she knows he has gone.
Neil says no, listen he will ell her that he left and where he went. Just go. Go to his mother and grandmother. Cane really does appreciate this-,everything he has done, he thanks him.

Cane, a good man steps up when the going gets tough. That's what you've done. I appreciate that, and I'm not going to forget it.

I liked that they shook hand and that Neil has alot for respect for Cane now. Good scene between the men.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A down Lily asks Cane left? Neil explains that he went to the club, to talk to Katherine and Jill.
Then Neil gets a call from TGVN(unseen). He tells that something personal's come up. He can't make it today. Lily claims she is okay. Neil tells her to hold on a second. She shouldn't be alone today.
Lily again says she is fine. She'll just zone out in front of the TV anyway, so go. Neil tells TGVN that he is good after all. He'll see him real soon, all right? He tells Lily that he is going to take off and not going to be gone long. He tells her to take care and he loves her very much. They are going to have Halibut for dinner, all right? After Neil exits, Lily listens and watches the ballera music box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later Lily is looking at picture of her and Dru. Karen enters and didn't expect anyone to be here. Lily says it's just her. Her Dad will be back soon. Karen just got to get something out of her Dad's closet, so she will just be a minute. She asks how is the baby? She got a due date and all that? Then Lily breaks the news that she lost the baby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
Karen been searching for the right words to say to her, but "I'm sorry" just seems so inadequate, you know? That's how I feel too. Lily asks if she ever thought about having kids? Karen did when she was a little girl. In fact, she had names for all five of them. A surprised Lily asks five? Karen says five. Her plan, she had a big one-- was to be a wife, a mother, and the first female president of the US. I'm pretty much 0-for-3.
LOL. Lily asks why? Karen replies that her Dad got sick, so she had to take care of him. And then she was in a really long relationship that just didn't work out. Lily asks if her plans just changed? Karen states her desires changed and got to know herself better. So she focused on her career. And she realized that she isn't just not one of those women who can do it all and do it all well. Lily says some women do, though. Like her mom did. Karen has a lot of admiration for Dru for that, that's not her. But it could be her, if that's what she want. Lily wasn't ready to start a family anyway. And at least now, she can get back into modeling. Karen knows that what she has been through, it's a huge loss. And she don't think there's any getting around the grief. "You're probably just going to have to walk through it, you know?" Good honest wise advice from Karen.
Karen tells Lily, for what it's worth, she really believe what they say about babies being able to feel their mothers' emotions. she is sure that baby knew it was loved. I'm sure too, those are really comforting words from Karen. Karen was a good friend to Lily today.
She tells her to take care. She runs into Neil in the hallway. She tells him that she is just getting the rest of her stuff. Then she gives him, his key. Neil says thanks. Karen sincerely is sorry about Lily. Neil asks she told her? Karen can't even imagine what she's going through. Neil knows, she can't. Karen states she doesn't mean she doesn't mean she doesn't care or that she is heartless. Neil says not in general. But about this... That's pretty nasty to say that to her. Jack@ss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
AC

Jill apologizes to Cane, they ate because his grandmother is starving. Katherine jokes it was her fault, even if it was true. A down Cane says it's okay, he isn't hungry. Kay asks where's Lily? A concerned Jill asks what's wrong? Cane says she couldn't make it. Jill know that something is wrong. What is it? Finally Cane admits they lost... Lily lost the baby.
Cane talks business with Jill. But she tells him that something terrible just happened to her and Lily. She think work can take care of itself for a while. A sympathetic Katherine says that Lily must be devastated. Jill asks why isn't she with her? Cane wanted to, but she needed time alone. He doesn't know what he have to do to help this girl. Cane is always selfless as proven here. Katherine is right that the loss happened to him also. He wanted the that baby yourself. An emotional Cane, voice breaking down, feels like he lost I lost someone that he loves with all his heart, and he never had a chance to meet them.
Jill admits sadly that she lost a baby once. Cane is sorry. Jill tells him that the circumstances were different. She didn't think she wanted the baby. And then one day, she.. fell off a ladder and lost the baby. And she expecting to feel relieved. But she was consumed with grief. She means that she felt lonely, and guilty. Katherine says she told her that whole story. Now, and she told her it is not her fault. Jill explains it just isn't a rational thing. Cane is so sorry that she had to go through that. Jill says it's okay. When she looks at him, she feel such profound joy that he is her child. And he is going to have that one day. "And we're going to be there to share it with you, the same way we're sharing your grief right now."
~~~~~~~~~
Cane has to go and see Lily. Jill says to tell her they are thinking of her. And if there is anything she needs.

What she needs to do is start letting herself feel, even if it hurts, instead of pretending that it's fine. I'd do it for her, but I can't, Mom.

Poor Cane, he feels so helpless toward Lily right now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Final Scene
At the condo, Lily is watching the ballera turn as the music box plays. She visuals her and Dru dancing, when they were younger. Then she breaks down and sobs uncontrollable. Lily tells Neil it's all her fault. A comforting Neil tells her it's not. A guilty Lily says it is. She waited until it was too long. And she never got to tell the baby that she loved it. Neil tells her it's okay as she continues to sob uncontrollably in his arms. Totally heartwrenching moment. Christel really tore me up in this final scenes as Lily started to grieve for her child. But it's important that Lane grieves together and never stop communicating, how they feel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
