Brad & Ashley -- The WeddingJack brings Phyllis as his date, much to Nikki's chagrin. Jack, however, is amused when Phyllis "rattles everyone's cages" and reassures her that she need not be concerned about Nikki, even though she is his ex. John tells Billy that Jill was not invited to the wedding and Billy agrees with their decision. John also tries to open the lines of communication by sympathizing the difficulties Jill caused him over the summer. But John also wondered why Billy and Mac broke up after all they had went through. Brittany lays it on thick with Billy, taking advantage of this opportunity to win Billy back by guilt-tripping him while playing the victim. Later, when she sensed he was softening, she kissed him. The guests begin to notice Ashley's absence and Brad gets nervous when he finds out Ash didn't arrive with Olivia. Later, the chauffer comes to the Abbott home to tell them that Ashley never returned after leaving her place with "a man with a mustache." Brad can't believe Ashley would walk out on him, but Jack and Nikki are not so shocked. Meanwhile, on her way to the delivery room, Ashley repeatedly asks Victor to call Brad. Later, a nurse discovers he hasn't made the call and offers to make it for him. He accepts, but doesn't have her place the call until AFTER the baby was born. Brad is thrilled to hear the news and rushes to the hospital, with Olivia and the minister in tow. Phyllis jokes with Gina about how lucky they were to be on a double date with the Abbott men. A glowing Ashley arrives back to her room to find Victor waiting. When the nurse brings in the baby girl, she mistakenly assumes Victor is the father and hands the baby to "the new dad." Ashley gets upset and demands that he give her back her child. Brad walks in and asks her what is going on. Back at the Abbott house, John and Jack deliver the news to the waiting guests, encouraging them all to celebrate. Nikki pulls Jack aside and tells him not to be too excited, after all "what the hell was Victor even doing there?"

Paul and Christine -- The Baby WarsPaul and Chris discuss their renewed efforts to remedy their marital difficulties with the sources of their problems -- Paul's mom and Michael Baldwin. On one end of the spectrum, Paul's mom thinks a lot of family together time over the holidays is just what Christine needs to encourage her to start a family now. Mary warns Paul that Christine has "fallen in love with her career" and if Paul doesn't "put a stop to it", he may end up stuck in a childless marriage. They agree to plan to spend the time between Christmas and New Year's Day immersed in family activities. At the law offices, Chris admits that she is surprised she got good marital advice from Michael. They discuss a potential client from Hong Kong and both agree they don't want to be gone that long. Chris changes the subject to holiday vacation time. She and Michael agree that some romantic time alone is just what the couple needs to get back on track -- some time (between Christmas and New Year's Day) WITHOUT Mary.

Mac -- Teen Angst 101Sharon sees Mackenzie crying at work and asks her to open up about what is wrong. She sympathizes with what Mac has been through, but has a hard time believing Billy would do such a thing. Sharon recommends that Mac do nothing and just wait and see what happens with Billy, even though it will be hard to do. Mac says it was her fault for being so dumb. She believes that she should have made sure he wouldn't look at anyone else by sleeping with him.

Sharon is surprised when Mac admits that if she had gone to bed with Billy, she'd be happy with him now. When Mary admits that she's kept herself busy so she won't complain about their decision not to start a family, Paul urges his mother to start spending more time with Chris now. Michael explains to Chris that a new client from Hong Kong needs a lawyer to spend a few months there.

Jack asked Ashley about the situation with Victor when they arrived at the hospital for the wedding. She told him that Victor wouldn't hand over her baby and Jack was ready to go teach Victor a lesson. She stopped him, saying that she was the happiest that she has ever been. He calmed down, wanting only that his sister be happy.

Victor returned to the apartment for some legal papers and Diane was surprised to see him. She tried to pry for information, but he wouldn't provide any. She told him about the new baby's room and he didn't react well to her doing it behind his back. When Nikki arrived with good news about Cassie, Diane almost didn't let her in. Diane knew that her chances with Victor are slim, seeing them hug and speak lovingly about their family.

Katherine, Esther, and Mac talked about Thanksgiving dinner plans. Jill entered the room and was successfully chased away from inviting herself to dinner. She insisted that she already had an invitation, but she really didn't.

Nina and Toms were also planning for a get-together on the holiday. Toms wanted to invite Mary, Paul, Christine, Phillip, Ryan, and Tricia. Nina wasn't so sure if Ryan and Tricia were on speaking terms, but they could try. Jill arrived wanting to see her grandson. He was not at home, but she came in to visit anyway and they told her their good news about the book and the possible movie. The topic of Thanksgiving dinner came up, and Toms invited Jill to join them. She was eternally grateful to have a place to spend the day. After Jill left, Nina praised him for his generosity, warning him the Jill was a loose cannon when things weren't going her way.

Tricia made a scene in Victoria's office again, wanting to know what her relationship with Ryan would be like in the future. She was incensed that Ryan spoke to Victoria about their personal life and decided to drop it and leave after just a few jabs back and forth. After Tricia left, Ryan and Victoria disagreed about what could happen next with Tricia Ryan assured that she had accepted their arrangement, Victoria convinced that she could do something crazy after finding out that Ryan thought that they would end up being friends.

Carter made a phone call to Larry Warton following up on his orders to rent a room in Milwaukee before he and Nick arrived in town the next day. Larry hadn't done it yet and didn't like being bossed around without knowing the details of the plan. Carter told him that he now has the PIN number and the ATM card, so things can start moving along. He hinted that some illegal activity would be going on in that room, so it was crucial that it be ready. There came a knock at Carter's door it was Tricia. She was very upset about what happened at Newman, and was ready to leave her apartment before Ryan returned for the evening. Carter had invited her to stay with him in the past, but he encouraged her not to rush into it right away. Maybe it was best to get even first. . . . .
