"You're a bastard. You always have been, and I don't expect it to change. But one death is enough."~Jack Abbott.

Brand new week, same gut-wrenching drama continues. I know I've said this before, but from now on, my Jackie gets a free pass from anything he does in the future to TGVN. Anything. The fact that he's being used as a conduit in the save TGVN sweepstakes when he has every right to want the man dead, is reason enough. Hi peeps! Happy Monday to you...and before I continue I want to thank my partner in crime, Leia, for coming to my aid yet again when I needed her. Bless you, babe! Let's do this...

Chapel~Phyllis learns Sharon's baby died & feeling sorry for Jack--is stunned to hear the baby was actually Nick's thank you, Nick for telling her the truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hospital~After baby Faith is taken out the room by a nurse, Adam infers TGVN should see her. Ash is hesitant can't blame her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN's room~Disgusted, Jack tells TGVN of Traci's decision. TGVN's appreciative, but thinks perhaps the Abbotts should let him die amen. Jack agrees, but cites one death is enough we can make an exception, Jack! Jack feels TGVN should live for CeCe's sake. Jack then informs TGVN's family & Kay of the news PB rocks this segment!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ash's room~Adam pressures Ash again grrr about TGVN, but she is desperate to see Traci. Adam expresses distaste w/ Nikki sitting vigil by TGVN's side & harps Faith is TGVN's blood she is, but not through Ash!; it might be the only chance for him to see her he sure knows how to work the guilt--punk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapel~Nick admits he overheard Sharon tell Doris about the baby, but the airport wasn't the right time to explain it to Phyllis I don't think it was either. And by the time he got to St. Mary's the baby was gone. Phyllis sympathizes, states Nick should say g-bye to his child & it was wrong that Sharon didn't get a chance to hold her good of Phyllis here. Phyllis hugs Nick, as he sobs the baby had birth defects sigh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lane's~Mac visits & Lily is shocked when she hears CeCe's heart is going to TGVN. Lily shares her vision of CeCe telling her to fight, Mac believes CeCe is an angel now. Lily shows her the guardian angel, which she's wearing around her neck awww. CeCe is a part of something magical not if it concerns TGVN, Mac sighs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN's room~Nikki is certain the transplant will work. Meanwhile in CeCe's room~Jack is w/ Abby, who's saying g-bye to CeCe as Traci signs more papers. Abby weeps she loves CeCe, then flees the room. Alone, Jack recalls telling Traci not to worry, CeCe's got a lot of heart. Feeling her pulse, Jack laments her heart will continue on cue Celine Dion, lol. He then sobs over the innocent people caught in the middle of his vendetta w/ TGVN; but mulls he & TGVN are still there. He's regretful not to have protected CeCe as he should have my poor Jackie! I love seeing him take responsibility--of only TGVN would as well. Have I said PB rocks?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psych Ward~Sharon stares at the sonogram of her baby, then hides it when Rafe enters. Rafe spills her days are almost up, she'll be free to go home once she's released. Sharon mourns over the happy family she earlier saw in the hallway, then vents they were going home. She didn't know she would be this soon neither did I, seems to me she still needs psych help, more than ever now--thanks to stupid Adam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapel~Phyllis soothes this isn't the same as when Cassie died & urges Nick not to shut the world out. Phyllis suggests whatever Nick wants to tell about the baby is fine; Nick doesn't want anymore secrets, then vexes that Sharon's numb, thought what happened was fate no, just your vile brother! Phyllis reasons it's her way of coping good guess, but Nick needs Phyllis & Summer to get through it. Phyllis notes she'd do anything for him to see his daughter & take the pain away MS was great here. Billy interrupts, Nick presses him to stay. Billy snaps TGVN will live because CeCe can't & wonders why Nick hasn't joined the rest of the Newmans to celebrate ouch, Billy's still angry. Totally feel his pain here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN's room~Nikki continues to blah, blah, blah to TGVN funny how she & Ash skirt around TGVN today, then heads off to find Vicki. Instead, she comes face-to-face w/ Ash, who shocks her w/ a hug I did a double-take too, lol. Nikki quickly exits, as Ash says hello to TGVN--and brings in Faith to meet him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CeCe's room~JT says g-bye to CeCe. Unable to imagine saying g-bye, he muses they were supposed to be there for each other forever. He's hurt he didn't get to the lake in time, but in his dreams he does as he explains to CeCe how he saves her. But IRL, she's leaving & he doesn't know what to do. JT kisses CeCe's hand, brings it to his forehead & sniffs he will always love her, as Vicki watches w/ tears in her eyes TL was fabulous, made me cry!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sharon's room~Holding a photo of Cassie, Sharon voices to her daughters they are together now, she can see them. She instructs Cassie to do all she can w/ Faith that she can't & let her know she's loved. They both are SC was good here as well, sweet scene--but like my girl G, I don't feel much sympathy here even if I think it's wrong as hell what's happening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN's room~TGVN coos over Faith & Ash explains the name change. TGVN tries to get Ash to talk to him, but Ash refuses glad to see Ash is acting uncomfortable around him. She stresses he should rest, honor Traci's gift to him. She parts after saying his daughter wants him well. Nikki/Ash collide again, Nikki thanks her for bringing Faith--it could mean the difference for TGVN. Again, Ash quickly leaves, as Phick appear. Nikki figures something's amiss, Phyllis spills the news as Nikki hugs Nick. She affirms that TGVN has a second chance thanks to Traci damnit, Traci is better than me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lane's~Wiping herself off w/ a cold cloth, Lily wishes to be w/ CeCe. Cane reminds her she already said g-bye to CeCe, in her dream. He believes CeCe visited her to say just that I agree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapel~Billy is reminiscing about the last time he was there--w/ Kay. Her stay worked out, but TGVN gets to live?? he grimaces. And with a kid to boot totally unfair? Billy's pissed that TGVN took away one niece, yet gets to raise his new one Billy M. rocked this part! Kay, who quietly slipped in, mocks applause for Billy--then quips, feel better ok, that was funny, lol? Shaking his fist at God--I've been there, she states. Billy frets he loves her, but TGVN? Kay recites a prayer from the bible, titled "Open Your Heart". Billy denies fighting w/ God, so Kay accuses him of hiding from family. She pushes him to say his g-byes before he regrets it the rest of his life good advice grand diva! Billy breaks down in Kay's arms, as she assures him he can do it sniff, love this part--but why hasn't Kay visited the other Abbotts??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN's room~TGVN tells his family he loves them, as he prepares for surgery. They in turn give him words of support & kisses, as Nikki breathes it'll be ok. They all love him not me, right now! grrr. In CeCe's room~her family says their g-byes. Ash kisses her, then hugs Traci. Next--Steve, Jack & JT do the same. Alone now, Traci leans over her baby in tears Beth M. might just be my actor of the year, she's been breaking my heart daily!.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Final scenes~Lily looks heaven-ward, thanks God for giving her Colleen. She's appreciative of CeCe & Dru being together, tells CeCe she loves her very much, then begins saying the Lord's Prayer...as a montage begins & we then hear Nadia's Theme....Sharon zips her suitcase, holds Cassie's photo & the baby's ultrasound to her chest...then we see Ash's baby in her crib which is labeled Baby Girl Newman...CeCe's machines are unplugged & go silent, as Traci kisses her daughter...Nikki holds TGVN's hand as she follows his gurney down the hall past his family...at the other end of the hall, Traci covers her mouth in pain as she watches CeCe being carried away...side by side, the gurneys connect & are wheeled together down the hall...while the two families stare in sorrow...damn fantastically poignant ending!
