Kyle comes home to hear that Mrs Martinez will be taking Harrison trick or treating. No, Cane hasn’t made his move; it’s worse – Victor.
Victor comes through the revolving door to answer a quick call from Nikki, before joining Phyllis. Confirming that the transfer was accomplished, he’s a happy man. Now, it’s your turn to make me a happy woman, Phyllis points out.
Jack and Diane tell Kyle that Victor has the AI program (but glosses over who they suspect of helping him) We could lose everything, Jack ends dramatically.
Joining Phyllis, Victor provides a vague update on Noah before asking if she’s thought about what they discussed. Billy appears – yes, he DOES have a habit of turning up at tables he hasn’t been invited to.
What are you two talking about? Billy jokes about Victor getting back to his crypt for Halloween. Johnny and Katie are coming to the ranch, Victor ‘loves’ to hear that Lucy’s going too. Good morning, Mike adds to the awkwardness. After he and Victor go to their own table, Billy again asks Phyllis – what were you two talking about?
Across the room, Mike’s also curious about what Victor was talking to Phyllis about (but gets no answer) Updated that Noah was run off the road and that he’s to ‘look into it’, Mike’s disappointed he’s there as Victor’s ‘lackey’, not his friend.
Kyle feels bad for leaving town – I should have been here. Jack believes Cane’s warning was sincere, and that Victor did steal his AI program. How can we kill this thing before it kills us?! Kyle’s alarmed.
Reporting that he made a bit of progress with Claire, Kyle wonders how they’ll defend Jabot. Jack’s consulted a team of specialists Chance worked with and cyber experts in the UK.
Billy’s sorry to hear about Noah – how bad is it? He’s in a medically induced coma, Phyllis asks him to keep it to himself (and ‘move along’) Instead, Billy picks up the breakfast menu – any specials today?
Lackey!? Victor holds Mike in high esteem. My grandson needs your help – look into the police report and Sienna McCall – the owner of The Shadow Room. Mike will consider it. Don’t do it for me, do it for Noah, Victor implores.
Billy’s gonna keep it light – fruit and yogurt. Why is Phyllis so ‘prickly’? He’s let go of the past and focused on Abbott Communications. Phyllis will reuse her invitation to the last party. Billy wants her to look him in the eye and say she’s not working with Victor.
Mike won’t be pulled back into his role as ‘fixer’. Victor’s only asking him to help Noah. What about that other thing? Yeah, Victor does have the AI in his possession – and ‘you bet’ he’s going after Jack.
