In her sleeping car, Nikki tells Lauren about her nightmare; not being able to reach her kids as they scream out to her. She has no idea how Vikki and Cole are and Cane’s not letting me see my son!
Asked to leave, Victor won’t let Cane concoct a cockamamie story with his ‘robotic freak’ (Carter) We’re telling the truth, Cane claims – isn’t that right Carter? (who’s now being stared at by Cane, Victor and Chance)
Billy knows someone who can help. Put pressure on the wound, he instructs Sharon and leaves her to beg Nick to hang on – help’s on the way.
Your ‘freaky friend’ told us that a bloody knife was put under the sink in my son’s room – how would he know that? Victor asks. Chance wonders why Nick and Sharon are being ‘held against their will’. Cane stands by his decision (because Nick was ‘possibly’ a danger)
Telling a weakening Nick that Billy went for help, Sharon says ‘stay with me’. There’s no way we’re going to lose you, she’ll distract him by talking about the kids.
Quickly explaining that Nick’s hurt, Billy enlists Sally’s help (since she has experience patching up the carnies)
When Sharon talks about him walking Faith down the aisle, Nick wonders if he’ll like the groom. This is the medical expert? Sharon balks when Billy returns with Sally. First, she needs to sterilize Nick’s wound.
Nikki’s convinced that Cane’s using this lie about Nick as leverage to get Chancellor. It sounds like you’re ready to give in to Cane?! Lauren’s alarmed.
Dismissing Carter, Cane scolds Victor and Chance for badgering his employee. He expects to be kept in the loop by the detective he’s paying. Based on the lies Chance has caught Carter in, he suspects he killed Damian.
As Sharon and Billy watch on, Sally uses alcohol to sterlize Nick’s wound (which, as warned, does indeed hurt)
In the maze, Carter tells Amanda that Cane’s with those men – they were questioning me and didn’t like that I call Mr Ashby Mr Dumas, he whines – and the old man was angry, he whines. I’d never say anything to make our boss look bad, Carter vows.
Cane scoffs – it’s absurd to think that my employee killed Damian. I gave him and Lily my blessing and Carter’s not capable of murder. Anyone is, Chance disagrees. Knowing that ‘freak’ is beholden to Cane, Victor and Chance consider that Carter may have identified a problem and rectified it.
