As Nick and Sharon bring Summer and Faith back to the tack house and Summer asks if they are all going to live their together with Phyllis, Sharon helps Nick deflect Summer’s question as they work together as a family. At the coffeehouse, Abby tells Daniel that she is going to Gloworm to work on her image but Daniel refuses to go with her as long as Deacon is there but Abby knows she can convince him. After a little eyelash-batting and some not so subtle hints, Daniel finely gives in. Meanwhile, Tucker is stunned when Ashley tells him that she doesn’t want to see him anymore. Later, at Gloworm, Abby starts to strip for her adoring public in order to save Daniel from ripping Deacon apart. Nearby, Phyllis gets fired up as she tells Jack about seeing Nick with his blonde at Jimmy’s and that he is probably with Sharon right now.

Victoria ends up getting “Billy forever” tattooed on her back but before Billy’s “Victoria” can be finished their tattoo artist, Snake, has a heart attack and only finishes the “Victor.” Victor runs into Adam at the gym and Adam continues to push Victor’s buttons until Victor draws off and clocks him. Meanwhile, Tucker wonders what Ashley is afraid of between them but Ashley’s defensives go up and she tells him that she isn’t scared she just isn’t interested. Later, at Gloworm, Phyllis is served by Adam’s lawsuit and when Skye and Adam both show up at the club, Phyllis loses her cool and Jack has to talk her off the ledge, reminding her that she has Summer to think about.

Tucker is furious with Ashley for what she is doing and demands that she admit that she feels what is going on between them but Ashley stands her ground, even when Tucker continues to push. Ashley tells Tucker to go home and eventually Tucker has no choice. Later, Tucker returns, unwilling to let Ashley shut him out and ends up throwing a patio chair through the window to make her listen and it works as she rushes to him and kisses him hard. Nick and Phyllis run into each other at the coffeehouse and just as they are having a moment of civility, Phyllis goes ballistic when she hears that Sharon and Faith are staying at the tack house with Nick. Meanwhile, Adam shows up at the ranch and although alarmed about how he got onto the property, Sharon immediately wonders what happened to his eye. Adam tells her not to worry about it and tries once again to convince her that she still wants to be with him just as Nick arrives home and finds Adam there. Adam leaves voluntarily but Nick is furious with Sharon for letting him in. Later, Phyllis works out her aggressions by having sex with Deacon in the loading dock of Gloworm. Billy nearly loses it when he realizes that he has Victor’s name in a heart on his back. Meanwhile, Victor offers Jack another partnership and a way to take down Adam, by investing in the Newman Fund.

Meanwhile, Ronan is furious with Chloe when she starts talking about his secret where anyone could hear her. Chance stops by to see Heather and Heather admits to him that Ronan was the one that took the drugs from her office and Chance goes ballistic saying that he is going with her to see Owen to take Ronan down. Heather, however, refuses to let him, covering her true reasons for not wanting him to come with her and saying that he is too emotional and promising that she will handle Owen herself. Nina begins to worry that the reason there is no trace of her other son is because he is dead. Meanwhile, Chloe can’t believe that Ronan doesn’t want to know his mother or his brother, no matter what his opinions of them are. Later, Chance runs into Chloe in the hallway outside Heather’s apartment and they end up on the topic of Ronan. Chance is bothered when Chloe doesn’t seem to think he is a dirty cop and wonders what she is getting at when she brings up his long lost brother. In Owen’s office, Heather tells him that Ronan took the drugs and is going to use them to track the drug ring which scares Owen, who is involved. Ronan shows up and blindsides Heather when he tells Owen that Heather has no idea what she is doing.

Michael reminds Lauren that no amount of money can take away the fact that she is Fenmore’s, the legacy lives on in her. Meanwhile, Cane reminds Jill not to start out on the wrong foot with Lauren because this will be hard for her and if Jill wants to really become a family one-day she is going to need to respect that.

Jill offers Cane and Lily, Phillip’s old Christening gown for Charlie and they are deeply touched.

Chance comes to Chloe’s apartment to tell her that Ronan is using her to get to him and Chloe tries to change his mind about Ronan but Chance shuts her down. Chloe calls him out on the fact that she should mean more to him that some civilian she is trying to keep safe and before Chance can defend himself Ronan returns and Chloe asks Chance to leave. Alone, Chloe and Ronan get into an argument about Chloe having to keep Ronan’s secret and Ronan turns it around on Chloe telling her that she is using him just as much as he is using her.

Later, Lily and Cane remain optimistic that they can beat the immigration problems after everything they have had to conquer this year. Later, everyone at the Christening waits with baited breath for news as Cane and Lily return and tell them that Michael won and Cane can stay. Lily and Cane explain that it was their story of survival that convinced the immigration officers to allow Cane to stay and the job that Sofia got him didn’t hurt. Nearby, J.T. and Victoria are still going at it and Billy reminds them that the christening is about to start and they need to put their animosity on hold. Moments later, Jill is furious when Lauren shows up to crash the christening. Cane steps in and stops Lauren and Jill from going at it, reminding them what today is about. As the ceremony begins, Cane and Lily address Traci and Devon and remind everyone why they chose these two extraordinary people to be their children’s godparents.  Lauren gives Lily and Cane a very generous gift for the twins and Cane and Lily are very touched but Jill ends up feeling up staged and left out. At Cane’s, Billy and Mac realize that they have become friends and wonder if one day Victoria and J.T. will find their way there too.

J.T., however, doesn’t buy it and refuses to work out a new custody arrangement between them so Victoria tells him that she will see him in court. At Billy’s, Victoria tells him that she laid her cards on the table and she is going to fight him for custody. Billy wonders if she is having any second thoughts but Victoria assures him she isn’t. Later, Mac and J.T. make love for the first time.

Billy is surprised when Victoria suddenly bursts into tears after waking up in the trailer after her first morning living there.

Later, Jack explains to Tucker his plan to use Abby’s trust to make Victor’s empire bleed. The two agree that when it comes to business what Ashley doesn’t know won’t hurt her. As they begin to plan the wedding, Nikki tells Meggie and Kay that this will be the last time she and Victor say “til death do us part.” Meanwhile, Skye tells Adam that if he doesn’t drop the lawsuit she will testify for Newmans against him and Adam is furious.
