At Society, Jack tells Diane that Lily wants to repay the loan with interest. He thinks his sisters would be onboard but ‘Billy would cut me out of his life forever’.
Victor’s on the phone trying to have food sent in for Nick (which they don’t allow) when Nikki comes home in tears – I need a hug.
After lunch, Stephanie and Nate are at his place for coffee. Yes, he’s in a good mood, because he might be able to be a surgeon again – and that’s thanks to Stephanie.
Victoria and Kyle’s paths cross again (at the cafe) She was just thinking about him – I have a proposition for you.
Jack feels a responsibility to bring Lily’s offer to the family. Pressed for her opinion, Diane might know a way to end this.
Jokes aside, Victoria wants to relaunch Vibrante using the PR campaign Kyle and Audra came up with. We can stage a battle; Vibrante vs Jabot. And further inflame the war between our families? Kyle’s surprised.
Nikki tells Victor about her visit with Nick. Him reaching out is an important step and he made a request that gives Nikki hope.
Stephanie tells Nate her medical ‘origin story’. She always wanted to help – was calm, never squeamish when someone fell off the swing. You’re top of your field, Nate praises. Stephanie’s proud that she brings joy to her patients. Medicine felt like a calling to Nate, he hope he’s not too rusty.
Kyle doesn’t want to tempt fate. Victor wanted Audra to seduce me away from Claire. Victoria wants to make a splash – she regrets selling Newmans cosmetics division to Jabot. Think of the publicity and media hype. Are you afraid of healthy competition? What does Victor think of this idea? Kyle wonders.
