Lily thanks Cane for saving Malcolm’s life. The kids are grateful too. When she suggests she might stay until Malcolm recovers (2 to 4 weeks) Cane balks – that long???
Yes, Jack will use Patty to take Victor down. She’s already admitted that he paid her. He hopes to get Nikki to leave him for good. Kyle’s disappointed that his Dad’s not focused on his marriage.
You knew Nick was addicted to drugs and didn’t tell me!? Nikki’s furious but calls for a truce while they deal with this as a family. You and I must be there for him. Victor all but rolls his eyes.
Phyllis doesn’t trust Nick. You stole my father’s life work – but Matt’s the only thing he cares about right now. Hand Matt over to Chris, he instructs. Phyllis won’t put her life in Chris’ hands.
Patty talks a housekeeper into letting her into Matt’s room. Finding Matt bound on the floor, she claims they’re into kinky sex, shoves some money at the woman and hustles her out to ask Matt what happened. Phyllis! Matt replies.
I told you not to trust Phyllis, Patty hears that Matt was knocked out. She told me I did some horrible things (which he’d rather not talk about) I thought she was on my side, Matt doesn’t understand.
Nick won’t let Phyllis’ ‘petty feud’ screw this up for him. She needs it in writing that the charges are dropped. Take it or leave it.
Cane didn’t mean to pressure Lily – a month seems like a long time to be away. Malcolm told Lily to go home. When? Cane’s impatient. Again on speaker, Cane briefly chats with Holden and Stephanie (who then tease Lily)
Billy marches into Cane’s sleeping car – we need to talk.
Is Nick going to meetings? From personal experience, Nikki knows ‘the cravings are still there’. Us fighting isn’t helping – we need to present a united front. Then, maybe we can find a way to end this war for good.
Obviously, Victor will do anything to help Nick. This ‘war’ is your doing – he won’t apologize and doesn’t give a damn about Jack-ass Abbott. You’re stubborn and vindictive! Nikki storms out.
Holden will meet Lily and Stephanie at the hospital later – Claire wants to show him something. They tease him about his ‘friendship’ and don’t let up when Claire arrives. Behave yourselves, Lily says as Holden closes the door on her face.
Billy needs to know what Cane’s planning for his defence – my name’s in those emails. No, he hasn’t been arrested – yet. We might be in this together.
At Society, Jack invites Nikki to join him and Kyle (who excuses himself to take a call) Nick’s addicted to Fentanyl, she confides. Jack won’t let her blame herself. He wants to help. Yes, Nikki talked to Victor – it didn’t go well. Jack’s not surprised.k
Patty’s sorry Phyllis hurt Matt. She was going to turn you in to have the charges against her dropped. Maybe next time you won’t latch onto someone you just met. I just met you, Matt points out. Yes, but I’m the only friend you’ll ever need, Patty coos.
‘Work with me’, Nick can’t just wave a magic want – Chris won’t do anything until she has Matt in custody. Phyllis won’t hand him over until the charges are dropped. Both march off in different directions.
