Noah and Phyllis bond in CL, yak yak. Sharon's trying to hear Jack's phone call from Mexico but they have a poor connection. He didn't say where he was going when he left her a note, then LIES to Sharon that he is in LA on urgent family business. Adam is with Jack.
Ghost Sabrina appears to Victor in his now empty art gallery and they dance, kiss. Goose bumpy scene.
Mike is upset about having this surprise sister and that he is now responsible for her. LOL, the hippie lawyer arrives at M&L's - he's got the papers for him to be Eden's legal guardian.
Gloria defends Lowell/River to Kevin. Geez. She says Jeff scares her sometimes.
Phyllis pries into Sharon's tension - trouble in paradise?
Nick finds his father in the gallery sitting on the floor listening to music, kind of out of it. Nick wants to call an ambulance, Victor says " No, what's happening to me?"
Hippie lawyer tells M&L that River will be sent to Ohio first thing in the morning. Mouthy kid rants on about getting her father out of jail.
Ugh, Phyllis asks why Jack didn't take Sharon with him to LA. Meanwhile, Jack and Adam interview a Mexican cop about the storm in August, about Victor and the other guy in the boat, whose body was found in a tide pool.
*Chills* Victor tells Nick he is empty, just wants to be left alone, please turn around and go.
Kevin senses that Gloria is hiding something about her relationship with Jeffery and in comes Jeff. Kevin and Gloria now know it was Jeff who placed the call that got River arrested.
Lauren does her best to calm down the brat kid. She tells her to stay with her and Mike, go to school, make it easy for her father to be comfortable knowing she's well cared for.
Victor tells Nick that "something" happened in Mexico. Flash over to Jack and Adam talking to the cop - not much info. Adam takes a cell phone pic of the dead body photo, cop leaves. Jack figures that Victor may well have killed the guy (Walter Palin) the Mexicans have yet to identify.
EB has some amazing scenes today! I've never much liked him either, but wow!! Good scenes today.
Yuck - they're writing River now as a sympathetic character. Just ick. Mike is going to take over his legal case.
Lauren introduces Noah to Eden and they have a conversation. Eden is a nasty little brat and puts down Noah who calls her psycho bitch from hell and leaves.
Victor is selling off all the art pieces he and Sabrina bought, much to Nick's surprise and puzzlement. The movers arrive at the gallery to take them all away. That grim security guy is there now too.
River claims he is innocent and the old hippie believes in him, but Mike offers his help instead. River declines, says he has already burdened him with Eden.
LOL, Sharon takes a swipe at Phyllis in her explanation to Noah about why Eden is so bitchy, and Phyllis jumps in there too. Both women freak out poor Noah who takes off.
Jack and Adam meet the little girl in the Mexican bar who tells them she can take them to the place where the man in the picture lived.
Nick rushes back upstairs to the RS offices looking for Phyllis who is still at CL sparring with Sharon. Nick calls emergency services for Victor but chickens out and hangs up. Grim security guard is concerned about Victor and wants to take him home. Victor sends him away and stares at the red egg box that had Sabrina's engagement ring in it and says "I am ready for you now". Creepy, creepy scene!!!
Yeah, it does look like Eden and Noah will eventually hit it off, but I really wish that the writers would cut it out with this heavy handed clanging of the foreboding scenes. It's too ABC soapy and not Y&Rish. Oh well. There was a little scene with Eden and Lauren when the kid softened, much easier to take than her nasty ranting and angry teen routine. Lauren sees through the anger and understands it as fright.
Kevin comes to L&M's. tells them he's 99% sure Jeff blew the whistle on River. Kid overhears.
Jeff threatens Gloria not to expose him in on the whistle-blowing thing and she counters that she would never do that, why would she. She's cagey.
Sharon calls Jack - she'll join him. He blows her off. Phyllis calls LA and learns that Ashley isn't at Forester.
Jack and Adam are now in Victor's old room behind the bar, question what on earth was going on. Adam finds Victor's notebook in V's handwriting, see the name "Tony Amato".
More chills!! Nick rushes back downstairs as he hears his father's voice calling out "Sabrina, Sabrina". Her ghost appears to Victor. He wants her to take his hand, he is ready to join her, but ghost stands there and won't accept it. He asks her why she won't take it. *chills* She won't let him do this, go back, Victor, go back. Yikes!!! Nick bursts into the gallery. Victor is unconscious on the floor.
Next:
Jack and Adam toast to "finding the truth". They're in the Mexican bar.
Victor's in the hospital, unconscious as the docs try awakening him. Nick is in the background.
Jeff fesses up to Michael about calling the police on River.
