You make Adam the best version of himself, Abby praises Chelsea. He can be a jerk but he’s really been there for Nick and Connor. Chelsea just wants to focus on Connor; the ‘best of us’. Baby or no baby, Abby believes they’ll make it to the other side of this. Adam loves you too much to risk losing you again, the part ways with a hug.
Billy wasn’t ‘on vacation’ – his mother almost died. Adam’s glad she’ll recover. You almost lost your mother; you’re emotions are all over the place and looking for trouble where there is none. Adam would never hurt Ruby. Not intentionally; my daughter is not a replacement for Eva, Billy’s blunt.
Diane’s stunning and so are you, Ester thinks Nikki should be part of the campaign. Nose in the air, Nikki guarantees Vibrante will blow the competition away. After Ester toddles off, Nikki mocks Diane for creating a campaign around herself. Diane’s confident in her campaign using former Jabot models – it will put all eyes on Jabot Classic and eclipse Vibrante’s launch. We’ll see whose products end up in the trash.
Stephanie returns to find Nate exactly where she left him. Dr Bishop’s ‘a little full of himself’ but no more hugging, she decides. Nate’s been thinking – people will question if he’s capable of being a surgeon again, and he doesn’t blame them.
As Nick drones on about business to Victor, Victoria’s flashing back to being with Kyle in London.
Kyle texts Victoria to say how much he misses her.
Vic, you with us? Nick asks. Victoria smiles as she reads Kyle’s text and replies. Where were we? she looks up to ask.
Billy knows the feeling of losing a daughter; he knows the pain. Don’t try to protect Ruby because you couldn’t protect Eva. It won’t heal you. It never crossed Adam’s mind. Respect my boundaries – don’t come to my house unless I invite you, Billy adds as Chelsea appears to ask what’s going on.
Nate can’t help but feel a little nervous. You’ve got this, Stephanie reassures. You have a gift and deserve to be back here, ‘Dr Hastings’, she leaves.
Adam and I were just ‘getting on the same page’, Billy shows himself out. Do I even want to know? Chelsea asks. Adam rudely leaves the room without saying a word.
Nikki clip clops in to lob her purse onto a chair. What’s got you so worked up? Victor asks. Nikki’s more determined than ever to make Vibrante a success. They agree that the competition has no chance.
Diane comes home to tell Jack that she’s changed her mind and will be part of the campaign after all. Jack loves the idea – you’re our secret weapon; we can’t lose. Where did Kyle go? Diane wonders.
Kyle and Victoria are at the apartment. This has to be the last time, she says before they kiss passionately.
