When Nate needs to go home to get some work done, Audra makes an observation – there was more passion in your voice when talking about medicine than going home to work on spreadsheets. Saying hello to Sally on his way out, Nate pauses outside to flashback to how his career as a surgeon ended – from the fight with Devon to Lily hiring him to be the face of Ask MD Now.
Adam’s about to leave (with Chelsea) when Nikki rushes over to ask if he’s spoken to Victor. He’s probably at that fundraiser in Maryland, Adam assumes. Oh, you don’t know! Nikki gasps – a tornado hit the country club where the fundraiser’s being held!
Daniel thinks his Mom will pull another stupid stunt because she’s living in ‘the land of no consequences’. She’d have played the martyr if she went to prison – Chris hopes Phyllis has been humbled enough to make better choices. Check in on her – she probably needs you.
Sienna can’t believe she’s tending bar with Danny Romalotti – where’d you learn your skills? Continuing to serve patrons, Danny explains that he picked up some tricks when he was a waiter.
For some reason Holden (with Claire) comes over to ask Lily if his Mom and Malcolm enjoyed themselves. I can’t thank you enough for saving his life, he shakes Cane’s hand as Lily beams.
Chelsea reads on her phone – some guests were in the ballroom when the cyclone hit; no casualties reported. How can they say that?! Nikki worries people might be trapped inside. Nick’s calming her down when Victor strolls in on cue – I’m right here.
Glad that Audra and Nate are getting along, Sally laughs when hearing ‘he thinks you’re a good influence on me’. I told him he should consider returning to medicine. Sally approves of this relationship over Audra pursuing Noah.
Claire and Holden hit the dance floor as do Cane and Lily. After Sienna sends Danny off to dance with Chris, Daniel looks lonely as he watches the couples. While Cane kisses Lily passionately, Noah joins Sienna to hear that she had a blast. She loves this place – nope, no bad memories. With a kiss, she’s excited for the future.
Audra’s not thinking about Noah. Then why do you dislike Sienna so vehemently? Audra thinks Noah could do better than his ‘older-woman girlfriend’. Like you? Sally opines that Audra could do worse than Nate. Audra’s only interest is their future at Spectra-Charles, they clink coffee mugs.
Victor explains that he left right after his speech. His rescue team is working hard with the local team to get everyone out. Abby and Devon are there – but Victor suspects Nikki’s really asking about her friend ‘JackAbbot’. Leaning into Nick, Nikki looks like she’s been slapped in the face. Chelsea’s jaw hits the floor.
