  • Dylan continues to open up to Sharon; he finds it’s easy to trust her.
  • Dylan likes Faith; she reminds him of his time in the Middle Eastern war when he befriended a little girl just like her.
  • Sharon persuades Dylan to seek closure with Avery. That requires he take up temporary residence in Genoa City.

  • Billy springs a guest on the wedding party. Welcome, Reed.
  • Adam crashes his father’s wedding to Nikki so he can personally deliver a terrible indictment against Victor. Victor calls for a restraining order to be slapped on Adam for this flagrancy.

  • Dylan happens to be there with Sharon chatting when Faith comes to the part about Avery dancing with Nick at the wedding. This brings him down.
  • Dylan says he’s done, giving up on Avery, but Sharon probes further.
  • Sharon does not stand in Dylan’s way, however, because it’s up to him whether he feels he needs to stay or go. But she wishes he’d rethink leaving.
