Stephanie joins Victor to say that Nikki’s surgery went smoothly. He’ll be in her debt forever.
As the Newmans continue to worry, Holden wraps his arm around Claire.
Stephanie’s humble – she’s just glad she could bring it all together. Victor officially welcomes her to GC. Welcome back (she informs him that she lived here before)
Sitting on a bench in the park, Holden distracts Claire by asking her about the birds they see.
At CL’s, Victoria decides to go back to Memorial. Nick rejoins Noah and Sharon after calling Adam. They’re worried about him relapsing. Nick admits the temptation is always there.
Yes, Jill’s OK with Cane running Chancellor (Katherine once put him in charge after all) Billy’s priorities have shifted anyway – he has news. Hearing about the wedding and baby, Cane and Jill are happy for him. Billy’s still salty.
Nick knows he can’t deal with this addiction on his own. Sharon thinks that’s an important step and jokes when Nick asks for a ride to the hospital. I don’t know how I’d do this without you, he concedes.
Stephanie and Victor talk briefly about Cane donating stem cells to Malcolm. You knew Malcolm? Yes, you could say that – she was also friends with Neil. They also chat about Holden and Claire being an ‘item’. Victoria appears to agree – they’re together right now.
In the park, Holden continues to be supportive and optimistic – he believes Nikki will regain her sight and be able to see all these birds and Claire’s beautiful face. Your tears will be tears of joy.
Billy blasts Cane for the trouble he caused (with the AI) How did you get Lily to forgive you? You manipulate people. Stop! Jill slams the table.
