Billy joins Vikki on the CL’s patio, as she types on her laptop, he knows what’s going on.
Chelsea’s on her laptop at the ranch, assuring Nikki that she’ll do everything she can to help the family. Newman Media and Chancellor are in the cross-hair. What would you do if you lost Chancellor? she asks.
Fine! Nick will let his father deal with Matt. I just want 5 minutes along with that sonofabitch, then do whatever you want with him.
It’s a point of pride for Nikki to run Chancellor – she’ll fight like hell for Katherine’s legacy, and is pleased to have Chelsea standing with them – as family.
Billy knows why Vikki’s working at a coffee shop at midnight. Talk to me.
After Victor and Nick leave, Sienna explains that she went to Victor so Noah or Nick wouldn’t cross a line. Victor will hand Matt over to the police, right? she, Noah and Sharon have to assume.
Vikki won’t be a source for Abbott Communications. Billy reminds of their connection/history. Off the record, what’s going on? OK, Newman is under attack from Cane’s AI, she confides.
Chelsea’s pep talk makes Nikki see what she has in common with Adam and Victor – you got to the matt for people you love. It’s one of the reasons Adam loves you so much.
Two security thugs sit Matt down in a chair. This is the last time you’ll see any of these people, Victor assures him. As all watch on, Noah speaks first – the legendary Mitch McCall wanted to invest in me. The one good thing to come of this is me finding Sienna – you lost her to a Newman.
Sienna talks about ‘Mitch’ sweeping her off her feet – we made each other whole. I don’t recognize you. How could I have fallen for a monster? Did you ever love me or was I a means to an end? This IS the end. I’ll never have to see you again.
Sharon explains to Matt that they let victims confront criminals in court like this – so they’ll feel remorse – but you don’t. We’re not your victims. We’ve beaten you – again. You’re a miserable failure.
Nick hobbles over – you’ve always been a bully. You’ve terrorized people I love, framed me for murder. Take some nice, long, deep breaths. If it’s up to me, they’ll be your last.
Back at the main house, Chelsea tells Nikki that she and Adam have worked hard to change themselves. That hasn’t gone unnoticed, Nikki has to wonder if marriage is in the future. Chelsea loves Adam but is happy with the way things are. When Adam returns from checking on the kids, Nikki leaves him and Chelsea to chat.
Billy had a few anonymous tips (that NE was under attack) but no confirmation. Vikki congratulates him for dodging a bullet – the AI got to us (before Jabot) Billy’s sorry for what she’s going through (the rest of the Newmans, not so much) He hopes Victor knows how lucky he is to have her (Vic) at the helm.
