The Young and The Restless: “When Passion Turns to Betrayal at The Jazz Lounge

Lauren tells Danny that Michael is loyal to Victor over everyone, including her!

Lauren and Danny sit and talk at a table in the lounge.

Danny knows it can’t be easy, but he knows how much Michael loves her.

Lauren says he loves her until Victor calls for him, and then he goes running, and she doesn’t know if he’s going to be coming home that night.

Danny says Michael is savvy and can take care of himself.

Lauren knows it, but what if it’s not? This has nearly broken their marriage! He went running back and accepted Victor’s job to go undercover in Cane’s circle.

Danny says he thinks Michael was just trying to do the right thing. They’re two strong individuals, but they’re stronger together.

Lauren looks over at Michael. She’s hit her limit.

Lauren Fenmore.

Danny says it’s hard to see past what Michael has done, but she needs to think about all the reasons why she loves him. There’s more that connects them than divides them!

Lauren says Michael deserves the cold shoulder she’s giving him, and she needs to wallow in her anger a bit longer!

Danny won’t let her off the hook that easy; he’ll start! He says that he loves Christine’s way of spreading joy everywhere.

Lauren tells Danny that Michael does bring her tea in bed and tucks her feet in at night. She likes it! He’s a good cook, and amazing father, and friend. When he’s on the dance floor, her heart just melts!

Michael walks over and asks to have a moment with his wife.

Danny agrees, and returns to Christine.

Danny pats Michael on the arm as he leaves the table.

Michael says he knows that he was sneaky and secretive. He knows better, and he’s sorry. He’s furious with himself for falling into a bad habit.

Lauren says she’s sorry, too. Sorry for being so stubborn, but she’ll always worry about his safety. She loves him, and she’s proud that he wants to help people he loves.

Michael asks where they go from here.

Michael talks with Lauren.

Lauren thinks they need to find common ground. He has to tell her the truth about everything, and she’ll try to see things from his perspective, even if it has to do with Victor. Can they do that?

Michael agrees. They stand up and kiss as Christine and Danny look on, applauding and laughing.

Cricket and Danny clap and laugh.

They all join each other in some comfy chairs and Michael proposes a toast. “To the woman who never stops making my heart beat faster when she walks into the room, and to friends who love us enough and are brave enough to shine a light on how strong real love is!”

They clink glasses in a toast, and Lauren thanks them for giving them both a “well-needed talking to.”

Christine and Danny says they have a huge favor to ask… Would Michael officiate their wedding for them?

Danny and Christine toast with Lauren and Michael.

Michael would love to!

Lauren says she wants one other favor from Lauren… Would she be her matron of honor?

Lauren tears up. Of course she would! They hug.

Danny says the wedding will Rock On. They all laugh.

Lauren and Christine hug as Danny and Michael look on.
