Nick’s determined to get out of bed; Noah and Sharon could be in danger. What? You’re just gonna walk out of here? Adam’s stunned. That’s exactly what I’m going to do, Nick tosses the blankets aside.
Sharon was preoccupied with everything going on with Matt and didn’t want to worry Mariah. Tessa understands – you knew she was in a safe place. What if she needed me? Sharon feels like she let Mariah down. Tessa’s been tracking her – that’s how she found out Mariah left the clinic and is headed south. I’m filing for divorce, she adds.
This is a bad idea, Adam tells Nick; Dad’s handling Cane and Phyllis while he and Vikki are working to salvage things at NE. You need to stay here and recover. ‘Not happening’, Nick’s dressed and on his feet. Get out of my way or help me, he struggles into his coat.
Victor comes home to greet Claire and update Nikki and Vikki that Phyllis and Cane are responsible and won’t make a deal. Where’s Adam? He went to see Nick. Chelsea’s on damage control at NE. The IT department updated Victor that the AI is transferring assets to ‘God knows where’. We’re in trouble, he thinks they may have to begin selling bits and pieces of the company. How could you have let this happen?! Nikki explodes.
Back at Society, Cane wonders if Victor got to Phyllis – are you regretting this?
Divorce? Are you sure this is what you want? Sharon’s upset. When Tessa bursts into tears, she didn’t mean to make her feel guilty – I know how much you love Mariah. Maybe wait and see if she comes home. It would only be to grab her things, Tessa’s given up hope.
Phyllis doesn’t have any regrets – you heard me go off on Victor. It felt great. I beat TGVN – no regrets. He’ll want revenge, Cane warns – he can be ruthless. So can we, Phyllis chuckles.
Nikki continues to scold Victor; your hatred for Jack clouded your judgement. My judgement’s just fine, he snaps. They bicker (You put our marriage on the line for Jack. No, I put it on the line for our family) NOW look what’s happened! All are stunned when Nick hobbles in on a crutch. Nick’s ready to help get them out of this mess. I tried to stop him, Adam weakly chimes in.
Picking up a framed photo, Tessa can’t live like this anymore – how many times can she tell Aria (and herself) that Mariah’s coming home? Our marriage is over – I need to move on, she weeps in Sharon’s arms.
Nikki and Vikki scold Nick. He’s here and ready to fight. You’re not listening, a frustrated Adam adds. Nick believes he can convince Phyllis to stop this insanity.
Cane warns Phyllis that her kids and Nick won’t approve of what they’ve done. We pulled the trigger – bang – we won, why are you rethinking it? Phyllis is ready. Good – you better be – things are about to go nuclear, Cane declares. It already has (much to Phyllis’ delight)
