Jack wants to leave Patty to the police. Yes, we accept her getting away. Diane agrees – she doesn’t get to dominate our lives any more.
At the tack house, Victoria fusses over her brother. Nick didn’t want her to see him like that (the only one he didn’t allow to visit him) Last time you left rehab, you bought drugs, she shares Dad’s apprehension. Convince I won’t regret it.
Hearing a thumping on the door and the doorbell, Jack lets Hurricane Phyllis in. We have a big problem, she announces.
Nick realized in rehab that he wasn’t alone – he was inspired by Marie (who changed his life for the better forever) Victoria will ease Nick back into work slowly. He won’t let her down. She just wants him to be well. Both are in tears and missed one another ~hug~
Phyllis assumes that the Abbotts know that Patty escaped – has she tried to contact you? A friend of mine has been caught up in her insanity. Do you know where Patty is? The three of us could team up and stop her.
Nick’s next stop is CL’s. When Sharon goes to get him a drink, Adam appears to wonder if his brother is making a mistake.
Victoria’s at the main house to update her parents that Nick seemed well. How do YOU think he’s doing? She worries he’s fooling himself.
No, Adam’s not thrilled that Nick left the clinic (but worried about him being around Marie) He’s proud of Nick. Sharon watches on proudly.
Jack and Diane know Phyllis is talking about Matt Clark. You think Patty manipulated him? He knows her history – why didn’t he stay away from her? You want us to help you find Matt?! We have to track them down. No – the Abbotts want Patty gone – YOU want her to come back (and bring your friend)
Phyllis doesn’t want Patty back in GC but she wants to help Matt. Jack has no idea where Patty went. They’ll keep each other posted. After Phyllis leaves, the Abbotts have many questions.
Victoria explains her decision to bring Nick back in ‘stages’ a sound one.
After Adam leaves, Sharon joins Nick – she’s happy to see the brothers get along. Nick appreciates all Sharon’s done for him. Both are shocked when Matt walks in.
Matt’s happy to see Nick out of rehab – you are sober, aren’t you? Yes, no thanks to you. You’re alive thanks to me. Matt has good news – I’m leaving town. This time I mean it.
Jack brings the gift back in (after security has cleared it) Lifting the lid, they find Mr Kitty. That bitch is crazy, Diane states the obvious.
At the ranch, Adam thinks Nick left rehab too early and thinks it ‘great’ that he’ll be coming back to NE. Adam doesn’t want the job – he’s happy running Newman Media. Victor has concerns about Nick’s battle with drugs – and Matt Clark.
Why should Nick and Sharon believe Matt now? He gives up – he’s happy rehab went well and is sorry for getting Nick hooked on drugs. You don’t need to think about me ever again, Matt claims – as Phyllis appears.
