At CL’s, Daniel looks at his phone. “Un-friggin-believable”. When Tessa arrives he enthusiastically lists the amenities at their 5 star hotel. “Don’t hate me”, Tessa’s having second thoughts about going to Barcelona.
Is this seat taken? Mike sits down (uninvited) with Diane at Society. to ask if she really left Jack. What the hell happened?
Kyle’s not at the club to eat, he’s there to tell Victor that he’s messed with the Abbotts for the past time!
The door locked, Adam can only listen to a struggle on his phone. Nick? are you OK? The call’s cut off.
In some sort of storage closet, Nick’s discarded phone rings as he sits motionless, wrists bound behind his back, the hood still over his head.
How much does Mike know? Very little. Victor hinted that Jack had betrayed Diane. He orchestrated it, Diane tells Mike the whole story – Jack had sex with Patty Williams. Victor put her there – Patty drugged him. Victor destroyed my marriage.
Instead of focusing on your real enemies (Cane and Phyllis) you come after my Dad, Kyle’s pissed. Your Dad has an insatiable appetite for debauchery, Victor’s not responsible.
Risa, open the door! Adam knocks, then tries to call Nick again. Risa appears – are you just getting here? My partner was waiting for you when I left, she’s puzzled.
Matt? Are you there? Nick asks.
It would feel wrong for Tessa to leave town. Mariah might want to see her. Daniel’s not surprised, he figured she’d have second thoughts and would never want her to feel pressured or uncomfortable – he’s just glad they can stay friends. Tessa gives him an impulsive hug and leaves. Enter Phyllis.
Phyllis observed the ‘cozy hug’. Sharon told her that Mariah’s getting treatment and will probably come home to her wife and daughter. Daniel doesn’t want to talk about it and accuses her of corporate theft. Phyllis wants to move on – do you plan to stay angry forever?
Mike’s not defending Victor but couldn’t Patty be behind it? Ask Nikki, Diane scoffs. OK. then Mike hates what Victor’s done to her and Jack. When will you ever admit that your boss/father figure is a bad person? Diane’s more than upset – she’s mortified and heartbroken. When will you break ties with this man who’s broken so many people you claim to care about? she’s in tears.
Having a brief argument about Claire, Kyle vows ‘you won’t win this time’ and acknowledges Nikki as he storms out. When she approaches Victor, he makes a crack about Jack. Can’t you just accept that you went too far? she asks. Arms folded, Victor accepts ‘nothing’.
Why aren’t you in there? Adam asks. Ronny wanted to meet with Spyder alone, she left to give them space. What’s wrong? You seem upset? Finally finding her card, she opens the door; Adam follows.
