Lily wants Nate to be happy. He is – in the business world. Stephanie returns to report that her colleague is able to come do Nikki’s surgery. On cue, Victor arrives.
Does Victor know I’m here? Nikki asks weakly. He knows and is doing what he can to help – he’s following up with a top surgeon from Manhattan, Victoria explains.
Markham went to see Jack at his house – he was dismissive and didn’t seem interested in you. A woman came – she obviously lived there. If Jack’s so disinterested, why did he call you just now? Diane asks.
Jack will spend the rest of his life making it up to Diane (whose safety Patty threatened) How to get Markham out of his house?? Kyle will call him.
Stephanie tells Victor that Dr Nottingham can get there today. Victor’s got the jet on standby. He thanks Nate and will never forget what he’s done for Nikki today.
Jack’s given up on me? He’s living with Patty while I’m lost and confused. How could he do this to me? Her teary breakdown is an act – she knows Jack’s up to something.
Playing the role of the ‘angry son’, Kyle leaves Markham a voicemail. I followed you to your house and saw my mother through the window. Call to explain or my next call is to the police ~click~
Dr Nottingham is on her way to the jet, Stephanie announces before excusing herself. Outside, Victor calls Victoria. Hearing that Nikki might be moved to Chicago, he updates that a surgeon’s on her way from NY.
He chose her! Diane rants as Markham encourages her to let it out – tell me how you’re feeling. How could he!? Did he ever love me!? Is this how I was when you found me!? Laurence – please, can you give me something to help me sleep?? He agrees – something mild – you were right to put your trust in me. After he leaves, Diane drops the theatrics.
Victoria’s SO relieved that things might actually be OK. Nick? He seems steady. Yes, Victor’s on his way back.
Returning to his empty living room, Laurence listens to Kyle’s message, then calls him immediately – maybe you and I should talk.
