Inside, Noah tells Summer about Nick and Victoria’s fight. Summer thinks it’s silly. They must know they’ll make up at some point. Noah doesn’t think they grow out of sibling rivalry. Summer thinks they did. Noah misses family, but not the constant drama. Summer agrees. Milan is chaos-free. He admits he has issues thinking one relationship will last since their parents have been through a few. She brings up her and Kyle being off again and on again. He admires that they got it together now. She invites him for a long visit. She’ll introduce him to some women. He has been considering a change of scenery. Back upstairs, Lily’s shocked Billy took Gaines there. Was he going to do something theatrical? He denies it. He didn’t even want to crash the wedding. He just wants her to know the truth. Lily wonders if Gaines is lurking on the property. Billy assumes but he can’t find him. He wonders if Victor found him and kicked him out but Lily thinks he’d have done that with Billy, too. Billy’s worried that Gaines has his own agenda. Downstairs, Jack tells Kyle he’s glad that he has his life together. He misses him and Harrison but is proud of how they stepped up for that little boy and honored the bond between him and Ashland. Kyle says he’s a joyful kid. Letting him spend time with someone he loves like Ashland, makes Kyle happy. They all head outside again and Victor makes a speech to Victoria and Ashland. He respects Ashland and hopes everyone there will join him in welcoming him to the family.
Inside, Ashland thanks Victor for the speech. He goes to find Billy and runs into Gaines. He asks what he and Billy Abbott are up to. Gaines wants to see him sweat. Ash calls him a bastard. Gaines threatens to announce his news tomorrow, before the ceremony or maybe he’ll make him so nervous that he’ll feel like he has no choice but to call off the wedding. Victoria interrupts and Gaines tells them to enjoy the rest of the evening. He takes off and Sshand is about to call security when Victoria says she knows how to handle this. Outside, Nate tries his best man speech out on Elena who loves it since it’s heartfelt. They kiss. Victoria goes to Billy to ask what the hell he thinks he’s doing.
