Jack and Diane are home – so frustrated that Patty didn’t take the bait that they don’t see a gift box – to Jack from Patty xoxo
Let in by the housekeeper, Phyllis finds the motel room made up and Matt-free.
Nikki’s excited about building Vibrante from the ground up. Victor’s so proud – you’re stronger than ever. Nick appears and is welcomed home with open arms.
Victor and Nikki fuss over Nick – who slept in his own bed last night and spent time with Christian. He plans to visit Noah and Summer – and get back to work. He hopes his Dad supports his decision.
In the dining room, Jack and Diane must be on full alert. Spotting the gift from Patty, Diane worries it might be a bomb.
Nick NEEDS to get back to work and hopes his Dad won’t be an obstacle. After Victor ambles out to answer a call, Nikki confirms that Nick’s ready to leave rehab and leaves when Victor returns to express concern about Nick being ready to go back to work.
That psycho seduced you to her side, Phyllis leaves her usual ‘how could you disappear on me again? Call me back’. She then finds an envelope with her name on it.
Once security has the gift, Jack and Diane take turns reading Patty’s love note. A new friend has convinced me to leave you and go far away. They wonder if she’s really gone – or is the letter a threat?
Nick’s salty that his sister gets to make the decision on whether he can go back to work. Victor’s proud of Nick’s progress and fears losing him again.
Phyllis sits to read Matt’s letter – he has to leave to make things right. I’m not going alone – the only way to protect everyone from Patty is to convince her to leave GC. The only downside of the plan is that he’s leaving Phyllis. He’s scared his dark side will return. Patty and I deserve each other. Forget about me and enjoy your life. It’s time for me to disappear. Phyllis looks devastated.
