All of your speeches were so long, so self involved, Matt chuckles – look at all of you saying how dangerous I am – you’re the ones making the threats. Are you going to kill me? When Nick hobbles over, Noah grabs him. Victor orders him taken to the main house; Matt calls them cowards and lunges at Sienna on his way out. Enjoy your life – pathetic losers.
Sienna thought he might have shown remorse. Victor thanks Sienna for bringing this matter to his attention and tells Sharon to make sure Nick gets to the hospital. After his Dad leaves, Nick hopes it’s the last time they hear the name Matt Clark.
Vikki warns Billy not to get bored – you don’t do well when you’re not steering the ship. Sally has her role, I have mine – she’s doing a good job. Vikki knows that Sally’s worried about him and wonders if she’s more invested in AC than Billy is. You don’t want Chancellor back, do you?
Nikki thinks you and I are like her and Victor, Chelsea adds – everyone keeps asking when we’re going to …. never mind. Adam’s surprised she’s so focused on helping NE – you weren’t onboard with going after Jabot. You thought I’d leave you? Chelsea’s surprised.
Nagging Nick to go to the hospital, Sharon wonders what’s so urgent at NE that the others can’t take care of? Victor said he has it covered. Nick doesn’t want to talk about it – I heard you the first time! He then lashes out at Sienna for going to Victor. She was just trying to protect Noah ‘and you’ (Nick) too. Nick doesn’t need her protection – this is NOT your family!
Chelsea still isn’t onboard with going against Jabot – she’d have left NM but not Adam. I’m not going anywhere ~kiss~ She’s sorry for everything NE’s going through but it would still have been wrong to go after Jabot. The one good thing about this is people know how dangerous the AI program is. Adam wouldn’t wish it on his worst enemy.
Billy claims to be ‘over it’ – Victor wouldn’t sell Chancellor to him even if he could afford it. Maybe Cane will end up with it. Vikki suspects he’d risk it all (including Sally) to make a deal with Cane. Don’t blow it with Sally. She also suspects Billy’s fishing for info to run on Abbott Communications.
Noah lectures his Dad for the way he spoke to Sienna. Nick’s known Matt all his life – you and Sienna have NO idea who you’re dealing with. I’m married to him, Sienna points out. Until recently, you didn’t even know his real name! Nick barks. Enough! Sharon orders Nick to the guest bedroom – she’s taking him to the hospital first thing in the morning. Nick doesn’t need anything – he’s going out for some air.
Noah apologizes to Sienna – my Dad’s not himself. He’s not wrong – I’m not family; I don’t belong here, she decides.
In the enclosed front porch, Nick’s cold, furious and in pain.
Would you really use me to go after my father and our company? Vikki wonders. Billy runs a media company – and this is news. Newman is the kids legacy, she bleats. Part of it – their last name is Abbott, Billy points out. Announcing that he’ll go after what he wants, Billy will text to coordinate the kids pick up. Good night, he marches out.
Still at the main house, Adam and Chelsea cuddle. We’ll get through this, they agree. We should confront Cane and Phyllis tomorrow. It might get ugly but Chelsea’s not afraid to take down either one of them.
Your family’s not too fond of me, Sienna sighs to Noah. Sharon appears to ask where Nick is.
Still on the front porch, a freezing Nick pulls a baggie of pills out of the pocket of his jacket.
Punching the long bag, Victor flashes back to teaching a young Nick (who talks about what an idiot ‘this guy’ is) Victor had told him to only fight in defence. Realtime, Victor opens the door to look down at Matt – get up, he orders.
