Marie tells Nick to group the puzzle pieces by colour. OK cocky – I’m more free-wheeling – you do you, he snickers. What has two thumbs and is a hero? This guy. Who’s better at doing puzzles? This guy (Marie’s a hero too) The banter continues.
Holden wants his Mom to be proud of him (she already is) This decision could impact my future – do I support my sister or take the job Billy’s offering? Cane saved your father’s life, Stephanie thinks Holden should talk to Lily. How much loyalty do I owe a sister I didn’t know I had? Holden’s conflicted.
Because Cane saved Malcolm’s life, Lily feels loyal to him. It’s more than that, Nate knows. Why fight this? Lily’s sure she’s put something in motion that will take the thunder from Billy’s attack.
Billy’s offer is purely transactional, not personal, Holden adds – no complications. How well do you know Billy? Can you trust him? Stephanie knows Claire’s not a fan; she trusts Holden to make the right choice.
When Nate offers to postpone his hand surgery. Lily insists Dr Hastings does what he was born to do. When Stephanie texts him about lunch, she sees it as a sign.
Jack will always have Nikki’s back but wants to give her space. She doesn’t need space, she needs him to help save Nick.
Does your husband know you’re here? Nick thinks he reacts with anger because he’s scared. I lost my job, Marie adds – but waitress jobs come a dime a dozen. She’s been thinking a lot about Nick; he’s been thinking about her too.
Marie apologizes for leaving pills in Nick’s room. He thinks about scoring all the time – but will stay clean for the people he loves. Marie can’t hack it. Nick has faith that she can. Yes, you do have a friend in here.
Of course, Jack’s willing to help Nick but it has to be HIS choice – Victor won’t like it. Nikki doesn’t care. You saved my life – there’s no one she’d trust more with Nick’s sobriety than Jack. On cue, Nikki gets a call. Nick! Invited to visit, she can’t leave fast enough.
