Mom is pitting Nikki and Diane against one another for sport and making me decide to teach me a lesson in corporate warfare, Daniel explains. Tessa knows he’ll do what’s best for the club. You’re right – you may have just saved my day, he hurries out.
Nate joins Devon and Abby with good news; test results say she’s a healthy young woman. The likely conclusion is that she’s drinking too much coffee. A relieved Devon and Abby hug.
Mariah just wants to give Tessa and Daniel space – no, she’s not bothered being around him, she’s grateful he was there for Tessa. Now, back to Nick. OK, Sharon admits they were arguing about Matt. Yes, there might be someone he’ll talk to, she hurries out.
As soon as Daniel comes through the revolving door, Nikki and Diane pounce. He’s made his decision. As his mom wants the club to be the go-to place for events, Jabot Classic gets the jazz lounge on Valentine’s Day because it has a proven track record. It’s not personal, he tells Nikki. The Newmans have long memories, she warns Daniel that he’ll regret this, then clip clops out.
Nate tells Abby that she’s officially discharged; take it easy, schedule an appointment with her doctor and call me if anything changes. Hugging Devon, Abby claims she’s relieved but still looks troubled.
Still at the bar with Daniel, Diane assures him; Nikki’s angrier with me than you -she isn’t used to hearing the word ‘no’. You won’t regret this, she shakes his hand. Daniel hopes not.
How’s the patient? Any change I need to know about? Nick quickly hangs up when Mariah and Tessa return to the patio. He’s back to apologize – but had to leave for a meeting. With Victoria, right? Unconvinced, Mariah informs that Sharon’s not here – she had an important meet-up too.
Coming home to mutter about Diane, Nikki’s not thrilled when Sharon rings the doorbell. We need to talk. It’ll have to wait, I don’t have the time right now, Nikki tries to close the door. Make time! Sharon sticks her hand out to hold it open.
