Happy New Year, 2078!

Lakeside Heights is welcoming another new year. Micah and Sophie Phoenix host this year's New Year's Eve party.

Summer sneaks away from the watchful eyes of her grandparents to find a quiet corner to make out with her boyfriend. Boyfriend? Tyler is thinking, did she just call me her boyfriend? He doesn't know how to feel about that, but doesn't say anything, because you know, they're busy kissing and everything.

Hmmm, I wonder if Tyler ever realized that the two great loves of his life were actually related. And both of them in the same room together! I don't think he quite knows where to look!

Meanwhile, Riley and Chad have a babysitter for the night, and take the opportunity to be nice to each other. They better be careful - it seems the few times they are nice to each other, they end up getting a baby out of the deal!

But while we've got the whole Nova clan under one roof again, there is some news to announce! Newlyweds, Patrick and Lara are expecting! Their baby is due in August.

Jeremy says, "Pat, you're going to be a daddy now, maybe you should think about the skull on that sweatshirt? You might scare the baby."

And look, there's Stephanie again! She very dutifully follows them around all night! Or follows Tyler around, more precisely, wanting someone to pillow fight with, someone to tickle with, someone to noogie with...

Stephanie, dear, leave the boy alone. Can't you see he's busy? I think Stephanie may have a certain fondness for Tyler after all...

So begins another crazy year in Lakeside Heights! Happy New Year, 2078!
