Cole and Vikki have an emotional reunion with the daughter they wanted very much (and would never have abandoned) Claire points out that if Aunt Jordan hadn’t tried to kill them, they’d never have known.

From outside, Jordan watches Nikki empty her flask down her throat. Victor! Come quickly! she points at the window. What happened, baby? Victor rushes to her side. A bewildered Nikki looks at the window (Jordan’s nowhere in sight)

Billy has let you down – again, Diane pushes Jack to give the co-CEO job to Kyle. He IS ready, she insists. What more do you want from him? Jack can’t do this now – just trust me on this.

In the jazz lounge, Phyllis sends Danny a text – can I buy you a drink? Appearing to recite the same words, Tucker denies he read over her shoulder – he was just offering to buy Phyllis a drink – and give her a proposition.

You were wanted, you were loved, Cole and Vikki reiterate. They’ll support Claire as she gets help. But please, the family’s in danger – tell us where Jordan is or what she has planned, Vikki implores.






Being passed over again might set Kyle off, Diane worries – which only reaffirms Jack’s decision. Talk to him, he has important news to share with you, Diane again causes concern. What do you know that I don’t? Jack wonders.

Nikki thought she saw something outside, it was probably a tree branch that startled her. Sending Victor to pour her a glass of water, Nikki kicks her flask out of sight. Victor suggests they go on vacation – he’ll protect her ~hug~

Jordan disappeared – she used me as a weapon, then tossed me aside like trash. I’m worthless. Claire is reassured by Vikki and Cole.k The only person she ever trusted lied to her her entire life. Maybe I AM insane, she says sadly as she looks into her room.

Claiming that she doesn’t know anything, Diane leaves Kyle to bash Billy a bit then stun his Dad with the news that Tucker recruited him.

Tucker wants Phyllis to head up the IT department of his new company (which will be a step up from Omegasphere)

In her room a tear rolls down Claire’s cheek as Vikki and Cole vow to make sure she gets everything she needs.
