Striding into Nikki’s office with some files, Claire’s also booked a massage appointment for her boss. Nikki’s happy to have a thoughtful assistant she can trust. Claire’s finally doing what she’s waited so long to do.
At the club, Victor invites Adam to join him at the bar – looking good. Yes, he’s feeling OK – on top of the world.
Taking a seat with Sally at Society, Chloe wastes no time dissing Adam and hoping her friend’s worked things out with Nick.
At CL’s, Nick asks for Sharon ‘s professional take – there’s something wrong with my Dad.
Nick relays his Dad’s confusion and mood changes. Mom’s in denial. When they bought it up to him, Victor flew into a rage. Though this is way out of Sharon’s field, Nick asks what he should do next.
Back at the bar, Adam tells his Dad that Nate’s not interested in protecting Newman. Victor has a secret to confide too – he suspects that Nate’s conspiring with Vikki to take over again.
Nick’s been avoiding me – Sally sees no way forward for them. Sure that it’s not over, Chloe encourages her friend to convince Nick that she doesn’t have feelings for Adam (then is horrified to learn that Sally does)
Claire’s been playing ‘phone tag’ with the friend from college she spent summers with in GC – but is sure they’ll get together soon. Nikki’s happy to hear that Claire’s going out for drinks with some new friends. If her new assistant feels at home, she won’t leave. You’re an angel, Nikki gushes when Claire sends her home – I’ll lock up.
Chloe promises not to say another negative word – but instantly breaks that promise when Sally relays telling Adam that she can’t let him go. He’ll break your heart, Chloe warns.
Sharon wants to see Victor for herself. Grateful, Nick will arrange a run-in. This won’t affect their new business, he reassures – and I won’t be lured back to Newman.
