Nick and Phyllis go back and forth. Are you jealous? Are you that desperate for friendship? You don’t need Matt, Nick thinks she should focus on Daniel and Summer. You’ll regret getting mixed up with this guy. He shouldn’t be around anyone in this family. Your father’s the one who’s got him on a leash! Phyllis makes her own decisions. Are you two planning something against us? Nick wonders.
Adam’s out for himself and we’ve already started folding Newman Media into our start up, Audra objects. Sally would rather settle than fight with Victor. No, she hasn’t made up her mind and wants input from her BFF, partner and maid of honour. Adam’s promised to protect you in the past – what makes this time different? Audra asks.
The deal includes an NDA, Victor won’t know we paid for Newman Media, Adam explains. This is about Victor and Billy – why would you put yourself in the middle of that? Chelsea asks.
Wow – you’re accusing me of conspiring with Matt against you? Phyllis is astounded. He’s changed – you’re paranoid. And YOU didn’t used to be so gullible and naive, what the hell happened to you? Nick’s baffled.
My Mom’s a straight talker – she doesn’t sugar coat things, Holden knows that sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth. He’s sorry Victoria doesn’t see things the same way. It’s becoming a problem, Claire might have to keep her opinions to herself.
Back at Society, Chelsea knows Victor wants to take the whole company away from Sally – do you really want to be at odds with your father? It feels like you’re going to great lengths to protect Sally. You’ve worked so hard to gain Victor’s trust. Is the risk worth it? This is the best move for our family – Victor will see that, Adam’s sure.
Adam’s willing to pay for Newman Media. He doesn’t want us to lose our company. We’ll always be connected, Sally adds. Audra thinks it sounds too good to be true; we’ll get caught in the crossfire. We were going to take Victor’s money, why not Adam’s? Sally wants to walk away from this fight with Victor.
Adam answers Sally’s call – they’re interested in his offer but have concerns about Victor. You and your company will be fine, Adam promises as Chelsea rolls her eyes. Adam will meet them at the club. He tells Chelsea that Sally and Audra are in – question is, are you?
