Having a nice chat at the park cafe, Claire misses her horseback rides with her grandma. Nikki does too but doesn’t share Claire’s hope that Victor will reinstate her as Chancellor’s CEO.
Running into Victor at the club, Diane’s really not in the mood. Jack really broke your heart, didn’t he? Victor muses.
Patty denies following Jack to CL’s (but was disappointed he didn’t say ‘hi’ to her at the club) You’re still ‘rocking your wedding ring’ she notices. Jack wonders why she’s still in town – are you still on Victor’s payroll?
Victoria’s at Billy’s to discuss the kids – and something else… a warning. They ‘found’ some emails regarding illegal actions, which have been turned over to Christine. Your name is in those emails.
Having heard (from her Mom) that the family’s close to getting NE back, Claire thinks Victor will need her to run Chancellor. Your grandfather doesn’t need anyone, Nikki knows – then looks perplexed when Claire asks what she’ll do if she’s not running Chancellor.
Phyllis and Cane aren’t stupid enough to leave a trail, Billy doesn’t care anyway – my hands are clean. My father’s giving Phyllis a chance to do the right thing, Victoria continues her role as Daddy’s girl. Billy calls BS on the bogus emails.
Diane finds it refreshing that Victor knows what it’s like to lose everything. You, of all people, should know that when I lose something, I get it back, he menaces. Like Nikki? Diane taunts – it’s all about winning for you.
With avoidance and denial, Patty can’t stop thinking about ‘that night’. Why fight when things could be so magical between us? You want me as badly as I want you – let’s get out of here. Kyle’s horrified to arrive and watch his father almost in a trance as Patty caresses him.
Victoria and Billy bicker about the usual; Victor. Stop acting like the victim, she chides. Are you really going to go along with your father’s plan and let me go down for this? he yelps.
Am I interrupting? Kyle grills his Dad as soon as Patty sashays out. It’s not what it looks like, Jack knows what he’s doing. Kyle warns him not to play with fire – haven’t you been burned enough already?
Nikki’s thinking of starting a non-profit in Katherine’s name, for substance abuse (she must have read My Thoughts the other day) or helping Noah get his nightclub off the ground. Perhaps YOU should run Chancellor, she surprises Claire.
Not to be dismissed, Diane follows Victor to the bar – I’m not finished, she sits. You’ve destroyed so many lives and don’t care about the wreckage you leave behind. No, Victor doesn’t. She wishes for the day he falls so far he can’t climb back up.
