Over their hospital cafeteria dinner, Stephanie and Holden chat about Malcolm (who’s filled Holden in on the family history) He’s getting along well with Lily. But, what Stephanie really wants to talk about is Claire.
Looking bored in Holden’s room, Claire’s tempted to snoop through his partially open suitcase.
At CL’s, Kyle goes to place an order while Jack and Victoria chat about addiction. If I can make it back, so can Nick, Jack reassures.
The office is in chaos. Victor’s calling 911. Phyllis is shrieking ‘What’s happening’?! He can’t hear you – he’s overdosing, Matt shouts. Because of YOU! Noah rushes over to shove him against the wall.
Her head aching, Nikki sits at the desk in her room to drink some warm water and wonder why Nick hasn’t called.
Sienna tries to pull Noah off Matt. The ambulance won’t get here in time – your father’s going to die! Matt says loudly but calmly. Get off me and I can save him!
Holden’s reluctant to talk about his “good friend” Claire. Stephanie thinks her a charming young woman – you care about her more than you’re willing to admit (even to yourself)
Giving into temptation, Claire opens Holden’s suitcase. A sniff of his sweater sends her flashing back to their last romp. Next, she pulls out what appears to be an old photo.
I hate the way Victor’s treating your Mother, Jack says. While Victoria hopes they can make amends, Jack hopes for the opposite – that Nikki’s finished with that man once and for all.
Nikki takes something for her headache then sends Nick a text about having breakfast together in the morning. She groans in pain.
Your father is about to die! Matt shouts at Noah. Let him do it, Victor bellows. Matt leans over Nick – his pupils are constricted, he digs his knuckles into Nick’s chest and slaps him around a bit. There’s a lot of people here who care about you!! Fight right now!!! he shouts. Matt detects no pulse. Is he dead!? Phyllis asks. Nooooooo! Sharon wails. Come on buddy!! Matt persists.
