Seated with Victor at the club, Kevin’s provided access to Nikki’s cell phone and email accounts. He’s still working on Nick’s other bank accounts and won’t stop until Victor has his 500 million back. He’ll do it from Oregon; where he and Bella are flying back to now. This was fun – keep me in mind for future projects. Victor will.

Paul knows how scared Crystal must be – but you’re going to need to testify (and will need police protection) Tessa and Mariah worry – there must be another way. Crystal thinks it best if she go with Paul. But no, Tessa mustn’t put her life on hold to go with her. When Tessa and Mariah take Crystal upstairs to pack, Paul knows Sharon’s thinking about what happened with Dylan ~hug~

Jack’s made reservations at a restaurant that’s NOT the GCAC – so they don’t run into Victor. No more talk of Victor, Nikki follows Jack out saying she doesn’t want to harm him – she just wants him to move on.

Victor joins Gloria at the bar to pay for her drink. She mopes about missing Kevin and Bella and relays running into Nikki earlier (at Jabot) She and Jack deserve each other – and Victor also thinks Gloria should find another job. Are you trying to employ me? Gloria preens as Victor orders a double Tequila. Watching Victor clink Gloria’s glass, Nick calls his banker – don’t bother investigating who hacked into my account – I know who it was.

Both in tears, Tessa hugs her sister – take care of yourself. When this is all over, we’ll have the life we talked about. Crystal thanks Tessa, Mariah and Sharon (who assures Crystal she’s in good hands) With one more hug and weepy ‘I love you’s, Crystal heads out with Paul.

In her car, Alice counts the money and quickly realizes it’s fake. What the ….!? As Leon jumps into the car, Alice hops out – into oncoming traffic.

On Sharon’s front step, Mariah puts a comforting arm around Tessa after Paul takes Crystal away.



Next: The question is – is your Mother alive? Dina grills Graham … In the gym, Billy takes Phyllis’ laptop case. I’ll take this, you don’t have time to put it in your locker. Go ahead, he shoos her off .. Dina’s password was used to log onto the server, Ravi rushes in to inform Jack and Ashley. Billy Abbott strikes again! Jack declares.

My Thoughts: Oh yes, Crystal’s in such capable hands. The same capable hands that Paul’s sister Patty and his son Ricky were in – oh, and his other son Dylan (who Nikki never, ever mentions – even with Sharon it was all about Victor) … Nikki might have learned a thing or two about revenge Victor-style but she’s hardly a force to be reckoned with. And how exactly will Jack ‘prepare’ himself for Victor’s attack? … How long will Jack be content with being Nikki’s friend without benefits? … What mysterious restaurant has Jack made reservations at? If it’s not the club it’s usually Top of The Tower (a better place to avoid Victor than one would think, despite it being a few floors above his office) … This was fun? Really Kevin? You know what’s not fun? Prison (I assume) … Nick’s bank has no 1-800 number to get some after-hours assistance? I don’t think I’d sleep much waiting for the bank to open if my millions suddenly went missing. Since it’ll be fairly obvious Nick doesn’t have the missing money, wouldn’t the bank’s insurance cover it? Victor’s not exactly hiding the fact that he’s responsible.
