Nick argues that he is trying his best, and he is unable to just forgive Sharon and put a bow around it. Noah agrees that what she did was wrong, but it’s over with and Nick has Christian now.

Victor looks on at a picture of Adam, wishing he were still alive. He candidly blames himself for Adam’s death, saying he would’ve been safer behind bars.

Victor reflects on how when he created Newman Enterprises, he intended to build a legacy that his children would want to follow, but now nobody wants to take after him.

Cane, Billy and Victoria meet at Brash and Sassy and are quickly joined by Jack. Jack makes it evident at this point that he is playing stupid, although everyone in the room now knows that Jack’s attacks are truly personal.

Nikki and Summer exchange gifts: Summer giving her Grandmother a glass angel and Nikki giving Summer a jacket she once commented on. Nikki gives Summer a grandmother pep talk, telling her the sky is the limit.
