No one feels threatened – Jabot’s employees are energized, Diane reports. Jack won’t be baited into a fight about Nikki, so will keep his opinions to himself. How long do you think that’ll last? Diane scoffs.
With respects to Jack, Victor will keep his opinions to himself. Wanting to believe it, Nikki’s glad they cleared the air. Both are grateful to have their son back.
Nick felt an insane high when he walked into Newman – better than any drug. He was locked in, making calls, taking meetings – no longer consumed by his addiction. Sharon never blamed Nick – we both know who’s to blame.
Enjoy your night, Kyle leaves Matt and Phyllis to wonder why he was there. That man’s feeding an addiction, Matt thinks it’s drugs. After he and Phyllis go into his room, Victoria sneaks out of hers. Phyllis suspects Kyle’s looking for Patty. Matt now wonders why SHE is there – I thought we said our goodbyes.
Nick takes responsibility for his addiction. But, self-blame can be debilitating, Sharon knows all too well. We never gave up on each other. She then asks about Marie – are you still in contact with her?
Phyllis relays her talk with Daniel. He lost his mind when he thought I was leaving town with you (Matt) He also said he loves me and that I should stay. For the last time, Phyllis asks Matt not to leave with ‘that psychopath’.
Nikki and Victor are also discussing ‘that psychopath’. Victor had nothing to do with Patty’s escape and Matt has left town. Victoria drops by to admire her Mom’s logos and report on Nick’s first day back. Victor expected her earlier – where have you been?
Diane doesn’t want Jack to keep his opinions about the competition to himself and will try to accept him supporting an old friend. Diane intends to crush Nikki – in business; she won’t make it personal.
Are you asking as my father or my boss? Victoria manages to change the subject to Nick; work is exactly what he needs right now. You seem energized too, Nikki comments. When her phone rings, Victoria lies – it’s spam. On the patio, Kyle leaves a message – making sure Victoria got out of the room without being seen by Matt or Phyllis.
Yes, Phyllis is worried; Patty is ‘psychopath extraordinaire’. She’s glad to hear that Matt plans to get Patty put behind bars. You’re so hot when you worry about me. I’m gonna miss you ~kiss~
