Friday, October 23 2009: Not Even in the Same Universe!

At the Ranch, Ashley tells Adam that Traci gave Faith Colleen's christening gown. Adam tells Traci he can't imagine what he would do if he lost a child. Traci says you honor them. Adam flashes back to taking the baby from Dr. Taylor and giving her to Ashley. He says he has an errand to run and will meet them at the chapel.

Sharon is at the chapel for a one-on-one bereavement session. She leaves the christening area just as Ashley and Traci come in with the baby. They are closely followed by Nick, Phyllis, Billy, and Mac. Ashley and Nick converse about Abby and Noah not being able to make it. Billy asks Phyllis and Nick not to tell Jack about their deal. Adam comes in and goes straight over to the baby. He rubs her head and muses that her mother has the ability to see the best in everyone.

Jack arrives at the chapel and chats with Phyllis. They agree they don't want to discuss Victor, and when they look over at Nick, Phyllis muses how hard this must be for him in light of his loss. JT and Vikki arrive and everyone takes their places. The Reverend mentions that the father couldn't be there, but Victor and Nikki appear at the back of the chapel. Ashley tells Victor to come stand beside her. Victor takes the baby in his arms, and then hands her back to Traci. Ashley announces that her name will be Faith Colleen Newman. The child is baptized, and Adam then holds her. When everyone is asked to sign, Traci takes the baby and wonders if Nick would hold her. He does. Phyllis says she has the Newman eyes. Sharon, who is still in the church, hears the baby's cries. Adam spots her lingering near the door.

Traci seeks Victor out at the chapel and thanks him for understanding about the christening being moved up so she can get back to New York. They marvel at the turns life has taken. Traci holds her hand on Victor's chest as she promises him she will honor his child. He embraces her. Katherine comes over to Victor and wonders if he should be up and around, also noting that he came with Nikki. Billy walks over and Victor snubs him. Victoria talks to Nikki, who wonders about the tension between her and JT. Vikki says they're fine. Mac approaches JT, and they discuss the baby being given Colleen's name. Victor holds Faith and tells her she's a Newman. Behind him, Jack says to the child, "Don't worry, you're also an Abbott, and I won't let you, or anyone else, forget that!"

Traci says her goodbyes to Jack, Ashley, and the baby at the church, then leaves in tears. Ashley asks Jack if he thinks Traci will ever come back - there's so many painful memories. Jack thinks she'll come back. He starts talking about Jabot, and asks Ashley to talk some sense into Billy. Ash says she can't do that - she's already loaned him the money for the magazine! She urges Jack to let go.

Wednesday, October 21 2009: In a Pig's Eye!

Traci comes into the coffee house, where she encounters Nikki. She learns from Nikki that Victor is doing well and may be released soon. Traci abruptly says she has to go. Nikki stops her to thank her, and tell her how much her decision meant to Victor's family. Traci says it was the most difficult thing she ever had to do. Traci tells Nikki to think long and hard before getting involved with Victor again - he always says he'll change, but he never does - and he never will.

Billy arrives at Crimson Lights and sits down with Traci. He tells her he left Jabot, and a perfect opportunity fell in his lap - he's going to buy Restless Style. Traci's impressed - she thinks he should go for it! Billy asks if she'll lend him the money to buy it? Traci says she has to pass - she's concerned that he would be starting out in debt. She's sorry, but wishes him the best.
