Amanda doesn’t owe Devon any kind of loyalty. True, but he thought they’d reached a level of forgiveness. Her hostility makes him suspicious. Sorry for accusing you of lying. You’re too smart to be led astray by a two-bit con artist; what if this blows up in your face?
Adam’s frustrated that he can’t get this info to Victor – but Vikki should focus on Cole. It’s hard to see him so weak, she confides. Chelsea appears to agree that it’s strange that no one can contact anyone in France. Cole’s in our prayers. Now alone, Adam tells Chelsea that Arabesque has bought the Chancellor divisions Nikki sold off. She tells him about her strange encounter with Cane Ashby. He wasn’t his old self.
Joining Claire at CL’s, Vikki encourages her to stay strong for her father. Claire can’t pretend she’s not worried but refuses to go home and rest and can’t trust what the doctors say. Vikki then gets a call. We’ll be there right away, she looks worried.
Chelsea can’t put her finger on it but Cane seemed off, different; he dodged her questions about Lily but knows she’s visiting Dumas (who he knows him ‘very well’) Cane was suspiciously vague and said that our questions will be answered soon. Why would someone like Dumas know Cane? Adam wonders.
You can be collateral damage, Devon warns. Maybe he’s using you like Collin did (to steal his inheritance) Prepare to protect yourself, he warns Amanda that she might need allies. Like you? That’s rich, she’s sarcastic. Devon has no right to ask Amanda to trust him but are you going to betray all your friends here? You don’t care who you hurt? Guess not, he saunters off.
Devon climbs into bed beside Abby. They talk about being unable to talk to Dom, being stuck in a prison without bars and what a creep Cane turned out to be. Devon had a drink with Amanda. Abby doesn’t like the sound of that.
Adam and Chelsea continue to add up that 2+2=5. What if Aristotle was Collin and this is all an elaborate scam? If so it’s a massive payoff. Things are getting weirder by the day.
OMG – Dad, Claire bleats at the sight of Cole hooked up to a beeping machine. We love you so much. We’re right here with you, Vikki adds.
Devon hopes he planted some seeds of doubt in Amanda’s mind about being in cahoots with Cane but knows she didn’t want to hear it from him. Enough talk, it’s time to put this bed to good use.
Adam’s mind is racing. The timing (of Cane’s return) isn’t a coincidence. If only we could reach Nick or Victor; he won’t be happy about these acquisitions and can use this info to deal with Dumas – and that’s why Adam decides he’s flying to Nice to tell his Dad in person.
Amanda thanks Carter for the update but is surprised Cane’s coming back so soon. He did what he needed to do, Carter’s sure. As usual, Phyllis is lurking/eavesdropping.
Cole awakens to smile weakly at Claire. You made it back in time, he removes his mask to say as he looks deeply into Vikki’s eyes. She and Claire immediately start silently weeping.
