As Chief of Staff, Stephanie asks Nate if he’d consider becoming a surgeon again. Nate’s happy working with Devon and Lily – he doesn’t want to mess up a good thing.
Billy’s not happy that Lily trusts Cane over him. You’re giving Katherine’s legacy to the person who almost destroyed you. Yes, he saved Malcolm’s life – to manipulate you. Billy’s sure she’ll regret it.
Seated in a small semi circle, the meeting begins. Does anyone want to speak? the organizer asks. Nikki pats Nick’s arm reassuringly as he looks uncomfortable.
Victor’s offering what’s left of Arabesque to Phyllis – it’s a fixer upper that someone with ambition and creativity could turn into a strong corporation. The choice is yours, Victor heads for the door. Wait, Phyllis stops him.
Insulted that Billy thinks her so naive, Lily does indeed have feelings for Cane – and yes, she’s partly rewarding him for helping Malcolm – but, she stands by her decision. It’s only a matter of time before Cane pulls the rug out from under you – again, Billy warns.
Phyllis is sceptical – why would Victor give Arabesque to her? You saved my son, Victor chokes up. Almost whispering, he tells Phyllis to have her stuff out by the end of the day.
I’m Nick and I’m an addict – I never thought I’d end up like this. I’m the guy who comes to the rescue, not the one who needs rescuing. I lost myself. I OD’d in front of my father – a dude I hate saved my life. It kills Nick that he let his family down. I’ll do whatever it takes – I’ll do it for them and myself, he vows as both he and Nikki are in tears.
Lily’s not trusting Cane with her heart, she’s trusting him with her company. He can’t be trusted, Billy warns (but wishes her all the best)
Back at CL’s, Nick tells Sharon and Noah that he feels exhilarated – having Mom there helped. Nikki, Noah and Sharon are here for him, always.
