No, it has nothing to do with what happened between them at the motel. Marie’s going back East to live with her parents. I owe you everything. She’ll stay clean if Nick does. After a passionate kiss, Marie leaves.
Victoria claims it was her idea to go to Jabot – she wanted to gloat and practically had to drag her Mom there. No, Nikki wanted to go – she has a history of success in the cosmetics industry and felt it only fair to warn the competition. Victor approves and is confident Vibrante will beat Jabot.
We had it all planned out, Phyllis believes something else changed Matt’s mind.
Was Jack actually happy to hear my voice? Patty thinks he might miss her. Or is he playing me? That bitch of a wife was probably listening. No, Diane wouldn’t have been able to keep her big mouth shut. Patty reconsiders leaving the man she loves.
At Society, the four Abbotts are clear on the plan – let’s hope it works. Our table’s ready. Jack nods, then doubles over in pain. What’s wrong? Diane asks.
Victor and Victoria have faith that Nikki will make Vibrante the most successful cosmetics company in the world. Arriving to hear the news, Adam congratulates Nikki. Nick cut the visit short because the newly widowed Marie wanted a private chat with Nick, Adam thinks he might be better off at home (and away from Marie)
Watching someone leave rehab often brings conflicted feelings, the doctor tells Nick. He’s ready to get back to his life.
Matt doesn’t want to lose Phyllis – this plan had bad ju ju. Are these women’s sunglasses? Phyllis smells a familiar perfume – who was here?
Back at Society, Jack moans in pain and flops onto the sofa as Diane shakes him. Billy calls 911 to report his brother’s having a heart attack.
Next Week: Sally asks Adam for a favour. This could be a matter of life or death. Anything, he readily agrees … Nate and Stephanie kiss – whatever this is, it feels real to Nate… ‘Don’t’, Victoria tells Kyle as he’s about to turn the lights on at the motel. Victoria stands in the bathroom doorway; a silhouette in the dark.
