190: Dru and Neil Reunites!!

 Gina’s Bistro, Phyllis and Daniel’s table

Phyllis and Daniel are served their food.

Phyllis: So son, have you decided on a preschool for Lucy yet? I can’t believe it’s that time in her life already, my baby girl is starting school.
Daniel: I know what school she won’t be at.
Phyllis: I don’t understand.
Daniel: Any type of boarding school like where you stashed Summer.
Phyllis: It was for Summer’s safety. I did not want my daughter to be a victim of my stalker.
Daniel: Well I’m still looking at a few. I’m want a school that will ensure me they will keep Daisy away from Lucy.
Phyllis: Oh I totally understand. I do not put anything past Daisy now that we know Sheila Carter was alive and holding Dru and Sharon hostage. In fact I wonder if Daisy was in on that plan.
Daniel: It’s a good question.
Phyllis: I just know at some point Daisy is going to fight for her daughter. I want you to be ready.
Daniel: Oh I will be. Daisy will never get  her hands on Lucy.
Phyllis: So how is Lily?
Daniel: Not good at all. I’m going to see her soon. From losing her husband, to the kids missing, she really needs me.
Phyllis: I just hope not too much.

Daniel sighs knowing where his mom is going with the conversation.
                “And what does that mean?”

Phyllis: Come on Daniel you’re not blind a lot has changed since the last time you and Lily were a couple.
Daniel: You mean your beef with her mother Dru.
Phyllis: Uh…yea. We are enemies. And if she’s not careful, she will be sorry.
Daniel: There’s that threat again on Dru. You have something over her.

Phyllis smiles.
                “I sure do.

GC Memorial Hospital

Neil opens his eyes, heart rates increase and his breathing becomes heavy as he looks at his wife Dru.
Dru and Leslie are sitting on each side of him. Dru smiles at Neil. Neil looks as though as if he seen a ghost. He tries to speak but only odd noises and mumbles come out.

Leslie: I think you should leave Dru. Neil doesn’t look happy to see you. Can’t you see his heart rate and breathing is going sky high.
Dru: No one asked you. He’s just shocked and excited to see me. You have no business here.

Dru now speaks to Neil while caressing his face. Tears form in her eyes.

Dru: It’s me Neil. Dru… I’ve come back to you.  I’m here to help you get through this and put our family back together again.

Dru lays her head on Neil’s chest and burst into an explosion of tears, from having missed her husband all these years. Neil is unable to speak still and looks at Leslie. She gives him a warm smile.

Olivia and Dr. Whitfield walk into Neil’s room.


Kiko: I need this room cleared so I can examine Mr. Winters.
Dru: Thank you Doctor.

 Dru and Leslie follow Olivia out of Neil’s room. Olivia stands in the middle of Leslie and Dru as they look at each other.

Olivia: Which one of you is going to tell me what happened in there?






Back at Gina’s Bistro

Lauren takes a final bite of her cheese cake. Nick meanwhile sits back and takes a sip of wine, watching Lauren.

Nick: Was it good?
Lauren: Heaven. I had a great time tonight. I‘m glad you called, I so needed this. With the divorce and custody battle looming and now this travesty with Scotty having a baby with the daughter of Sheila Carter.
Nick: Well let me ask you, what’s up with you and my dad?
Lauren: Oh Victor stopped by last night and wanted me to help him with his plan of revenge against Michael. I told him I didn’t want any parts of it. Besides I don’t understand why he would come to me in the first place considering my testimony put him away.
Nick: When it comes to revenge, I’ve learned my father will move heaven and earth.
Lauren: Oh I’ve known Victor long enough to know that. Seeing me here with you, I think he assumes this will make Michael mad or something or he’ll go tell Michael he saw me here with you.
Nick: We are just two good friends having a good time. That’s all.

Lauren smiles and drinks the last of her wine.
                “Right” She says looking at Nick.



Devon and Abby’s table

Abby: I had a great time this evening.
Devon: I did too. I’d like to do this more often. I like it when I’m around you.
Abby: Well you know how I feel about you.

Then Gina walks over to their table.

Devon: The food was exceptional this evening Gina.

Gina smiles.

Gina: I’ll be sure to tell my new cook. Abby we are ready for you dear.

Devon forms a frown on his face.

Devon: Ready? What’s going on?

Abby smiles at Devon.

Abby: I told you my surprise for you.
Devon: Now I’m really intrigued.
Abby: Stay tuned as they say.

She gets up and plants a kiss on his cheek and then follows Gina to a back room. Devon really wonders what Abby has up her sleeve.





Spencer walks out from the kitchen with a t bone steak that was asked to be served by him at table 71. Spencer looks down on his master piece with pride as he gets closer to table 71. As he approaches he sees Victor Newman with a grin on his face. Spencer realizes he has to serve the steak to Victor.

Victor: Spencer Walsh. From the District Attorney to a cook.
Spencer: What in the hell are you doing here Newman? When did you get out?
Victor: A few days ago. It surely is a wonderful event.
Spencer: Hell no! I lost everything because of you. I’m still trying to put my family together. My daughter is devastated over what you did.
Victor: Let me tell you something! I told you no one goes up against me and think they are going to win! I gave you a choice and my friend you chose the wrong one. So for that, your life as a pimp had to be exposed. Also, not only were you a pimp, you pimped Leslie, the woman who you slept with and produced a daughter. Her name is Roxanne I believe.
Spencer: Ruining our lives in the process and now I have to serve you steak.
Victor: It’s a bit ironic isn’t it?

Spencer slams the steak down on the table and the plate cracks in half. The steak slides off the plate, onto the table and then into Victor’s lap. Victor gets up as he grabs the sizzling steak from his lap and slams it back on the table. He stares down Spencer. Victor grabs the sizzling steak and smashes it in Spencer’s face. The steak burns Spencer’s face.

Victor: You like that bastard! How dare you to that to me!!


Then the lights dim in the restaurant. Some music begins to play on the sound system. It’s a laidback but upbeat tempo. Everyone looks around at each other wondering what is going on and some others begin to bop their head to the old school groove that’s beginning to play. As the words to the song start up Abby walks out from the back of the restaurant with a micro phone. Wearing a black and white short dress she belts out “Oh La La La” By Teena Marie.

Victor and Nick are very surprised at Abby singing.

Abby sashays towards Devon. She dances around his table as all he can do is smile in amazement at how good Abby sounds. Abby grabs his hand and pulls him to stand and as the song slows down they slow dance together. Then when the song picks back up she sits him back down so she can finish  belting out the rest of the song. As the song ends everyone in the restaurant gives her a standing ovation. 

Abby looks at Devon and he smiles at her.
Gina grabs the microphone

Gina: Give it up for Abby Newman! Who knew she had it in her?







Back at the Hospital, Outside Neil’s room
Dru: Nothing happened Liv. Les here was about to leave and give me and my husband our time to reunite. Isn’t that right Les girl?
Leslie: Not at all. I told you we will let Neil decide what he wants.

Dru looks at Liv.

Dru: Do you hear this crazy talk sis. She must not know about me. It’s not hard to see Neil is mine.
Leslie: Uhm Dru I know all I need to know of you and from that I do not wish to know any more.
Dru: See right there, that’s the shit I been talking about!

As Dru is about to go after Leslie, Dr. Whitfield walks out of Neil’s room. All attention is now turned to him.

Dru: How is my husband?
Dr. Whitefield: Neil is in a state of shock. He hasn’t said much and his vitals are back to normal.
Olivia: The bullet doctor, did it do any lasting damage?
Kiko: It is too soon to tell. I have not told Neil anything. He does not know that the bullet is still lodged within him. I gave him a light sedative for now.
Leslie: Can we go in and see him?
Dr. Whitfield: One at a time and only family.
Dru: That counts you out Les. I’m the wife and now it’s time to reunite with my husband.

Leslie rolls her eyes at Dru as she walks away from the crowd. Olivia walks with her. Dru fixes her hair and walks back in Neil’s room.


Outside the room

 Olivia and Leslie talk.

Olivia: I’m sorry you are going through this Leslie. I really don’t know what else to say other than Dru is married to Neil.
Leslie: I know Olivia. I’m just not going to walk away unless Neil asks me to. Your sister will not control what I do.
Olivia: Then I can only say good luck. Dru is a wild cat and I know she will fight for her family.
Leslie: We’ll see. It’s been a long time since Neil and Dru were together. Maybe, just maybe Neil has gotten over Dru and doesn’t even want to be married to her any more. Maybe just maybe Neil would rather be with me.


Inside the room

Dru sits down next to Neil. She again caresses his face. He looks at her with no emotion.

Dru: What’s the matter my love? The doctor gave you too many drugs and you’re feeling good huh?

Neil does not respond but his heart rate slowly increases.

Dru: I know you are thinking what is going on what am I doing here but I’m back. I did not die when Phyllis Bitch pushed me off that cliff. I survived. I came back to be with you and our family so we can resume our lives.

Neil smiles at Dru showing emotion.

Dru: There you are.

Dru holds his hand.
Neil tries to speak.

Dru: Shh no no baby. Not too much too fast.

Neil’s heart rate begins to increase more dramatically.

Dru: Relax Neil. It’s ok.

Neil tries to speak. Sounds come out but no words are forming. His breathing gets more intense.

Dru: Neil, what is it? Are you mute? What’s the matter you look upset.
Neil: W-w-who are you?

Dru jumps back from Neil stunned at what she just heard.

Dru: Say what now? You don’t know who I am?
Neil: No…..

  1. Dang! I know Dru's feelings are hurt because Neil doesn't remember her. That's going to be crazy once his memory comes back; and Victor is something else good read.

  2. I like the balance in this episode... light hearted scenes with Abby and Devon, and Nick and Lauren...to serious with Victor and Spencer, and Dru vs Leslie in between.

    Abby singing to Devon was cute and romantic...and im sure this is going to lead to something bigger, as these "happy" scenes are necessary.

    Victor and Spencer got violent...Spencer should not have smashed that plate on Victor...he might get fired.

    I think Dru is being real delusional about her and Neil. She thinks she's just gonna waltz back into town and pick up where she left off. Now Neil has no memory of who she is for now...Leslie is standing her ground and I'm rooting for her..

  4. OOPS! Neil doesn't know Dru. Yikes! I wonder how much of his memory is gone now. WOW! What an ending.

    Was surprised by Victor and Spencer's confrontation. I imagine Victor would have been ejected and Spencer would have been disciplined for lashing out at Victor, but who knows what will play out in the next episode. The characters' emotions were definitely on point.

    Dru and Leslie are giving me life. This is so well done, and each character is right in their own way. A wonderful set up for that triangle. I can't wait to see what comes of it.

    Abby and Devon were sweet. I'm enjoying Abby singing for Devon. I feel like that could be a future story if Abby wants to sing professionally. Can't wait to see where that will lead.

    Phyllis and Daniel were another good scene. Just good family dynamics at play. Very good stuff there too.

    Cary is right though about Dru. She's out of her mind if she thinks she can just pick up where she left off. But of course, when you've spent so long fighting to come back, you have to have that in your head that you can always come home again. I love where that story is going. GREAT work all around, and a great ending!
