Summary for Monday, October 2nd from soaps.com:

Kevin joins Victor in his ‘creepy’ office building after hours. He’s complaining about the difficulty of dealing with Nick’s diversified accounts when Noah arrives. He updates his grandfather on the trip and Victor informs him it will be the last time he helps, since he doesn’t want to antagonize Nick. He shrugs that Nick’s attitude is too bad, as he has a perfect building in St. Louis they could use. After Noah’s gone, Kevin points out that once Nick goes bust, Noah’s dreams will go up in smoke. Vic snaps that Noah has his own trust fund and orders Kevin to get to work. He becomes impatient for Kevin to get in, and suddenly he does.

Chelsea welcomes Nick back to the penthouse from Ann Arbor, and he gifts her with a beer stein containing a special necklace. Romantic talk follows, they have s*x, then talk about how ‘right’ it all feels. The doorbell rings, so they dress and let Noah in. He mentions Victor’s building in St. Louis. Nick wants no part of leasing from his father. Chelsea agrees. Noah worries about getting more capital. Nick goes to transfer some from his personal account, and is stunned to see his bank account has zero funds. “Where’s all my money?”

Mariah reassures Tessa that things will work out in the stables, and they talk about the redhead’s past experience in gaslighting – it’s not something she’s proud of. Mariah was glad to do it to help Crystal, however. Tessa gushes that Mariah’s truly like family, though Mariah counters she’s much more than that to her. Tessa takes off – she can’t sit and do nothing.

In Sharon’s house, she informs Alice that she’s not leaving. Alice asks, “Who’s going to stop me?” Alice reminds Sharon she was held against her will. Sharon counters that she promised to do the right thing. She urges her to call Leon on speakerphone. He confirms they’re back in Genoa City, and Alice speaks briefly to Crystal. Tessa and Mariah blow in. Sharon informs them that Crystal is back in town and the meeting’s been set. Alice gets dialed in on Mariah being Cassie’s twin. Alice sneers about their con. The girls lay into her about the s*x ring, but Alice pretends to know nothing.

Cane arrives at the Ashby house to discuss the divorce papers with Lily, who explains she can’t have the kids living in limbo any more. Cane wants to help tell them. Mattie and Charlie enter. They all sit down and discuss school, until Lily switches gears. “Your Dad and I, we are getting a divorce.” Cane and Lily make it clear they are open to talk as much as the twins’ like, and explain it was time to move forward. Mattie asks about logistics. They will remain with Lily, but see Cane whenever they want. They establish that it’s not because of Jordan or Juliet. Lily stresses that Cane loves them. Charlie places his arm around Mattie protectively. Cane hugs his kids as Lily holds back tears. Once the kids file out, Lily assures Cane he’s a wonderful father. He says he’ll always love her, and goes. Mattie rejoins Lily and holds her.

At the Club, Zach tries unsuccessfully to reach Alice. Abby appears and declares they have a problem with the app – there are way more men subscribers than women. She’s irked that Zach’s not showing concern and seems distracted. He finally snaps at her to ‘give it a rest’. She’s taken aback and wonders if he’s tense because she wouldn’t go to bed with him. He reassures her it's just work stress.

At Cassie’s grave, Alice can’t believe Sharon chose this as the meeting spot. Sharon felt they needed a guardian angel by their side. They talk about what it was like seeing Mariah, and Sharon assures Alice she is doing what Cassie would have wanted. Alice insists she cares about ‘her girls’, but Sharon urges her to get out of this business. Tessa and Mariah linger in the bushes as Leon shows up with Crystal. Soon a gun is drawn and Leon has Sharon by the arm as he demands, “What’s going on here?” Mariah hits him in the back of the head and Alice ends up with the gun. She lets Leon go. Crystal and Tessa embrace.

At the Club, Zach takes a call from Leon, who says he has big problem.

A Look Ahead to Tuesday, October 3rd:

Nick tells someone on the phone that he figured out who hacked his accounts.

Nick watches as Victor and someone unseen have a champagne toast.

Paul tells Crystal she can trust him, which makes what he is about to say that much more difficult.

The police kick in the door of Alice’s house.

SMH.  I just can't believe that they aren't softening old man Victor up.  Obviously, he won't be on the show much longer due to his age.  Sure Nick has his issues but that doesn't mean his money should be stolen.  Victoria and Abby got their money through the lawsuit just like Nick did.  And actually, I think Victoria has stopped speaking to Victor more than Nick.

[eddyandme]

@Mmsfoxxie

Please, it's Victor's money.  No one else in that family has ever earned a dime - they're all incompetents:  Victoria cannot even run her own business!  Yet, Victor is still there to help.

That "lawsuit" where his entire family ganged up on him and took his monies was just another stupid "plot".

Looks like they're finally wrapping up the ex ring - what a waste of time that's been:  don't see why they just didn't put Scott and Abby together to begin with!  Perhaps Mariah will also be on her way out (PLEASE!) along with Zach, Tessa and the bunch.  Hope this new writer neatly and quickly wraps this mess up and rids this soap of all the dead wood.  Perhaps then they'll be able to have the budget for the scenes like they had in days gone by!  Never watched it back then, but sounds like a nice change!

[loveschocolate]

@eddyandme, I will be glad when they wrap up this secs ring.... Ugh. 

[Mmsfoxxie]

@eddyandme, you have to respect the Genoa City court system.  Their laws are very enforced, you know.  If it's ok for Victor to take Nick's money, he should take his other kids money as well.  The circumstances were the same.  And Victoria led the charge and talked the others, especially Abby, into going along with it.

Wait til top cop Paul and prosecutor wifey Christine hear about this!  Old Victor will go to jail again.  Christine can just  use her strategies from the other trial.

[eddyandme]

@Mmsfoxxie, aside from the fact that the odd couple (Paul and the shrew) can't find their way out of a shoebox, the IT genius boy, Kevin has made this untraceable!

And, although Victor nor anyone else could influence the esteemed GC judicial system,  the cash is Victor's to be had!  Out of kindness and generosity The Mustache has allowed the ungratefuls to keep his monies.  However, dumbo has totally crossed over the line soooo many times, Victor has no other choice than to teach that obnoxious son of his a lesson.
