Where are you Lily? Cane’s moping over his phone when Phyllis joins him at the club’s bar. I hope you’re texting my son, Phyllis isn’t impressed that he hasn’t made any progress with Daniel.
At CL’s, Nate runs into Victoria as she’s finalizing her trip to Milan. Her Dad’s plan didn’t pan out so she’s going ahead with hers.
Indignant, Nikki won’t be kicked out of her own home. I rebuilt this house and I’ll rebuild my empire! Victor shouts – he won’t let anyone (including Nikki) stand in his way!
Victor’s sick and tired of being judged by Nick, Adam and his wife. You bet I’m kicking you out! Go lick Jack’s wounds! That YOU caused, Nikki points out.
I deserved that (slap) Jack’s profoundly sorry for losing control – with ‘her’ (Patty) I’m mortified. He wants to try to explain. How? Diane’s in tears. Jack doesn’t know.
Actions speak louder than words – show Daniel and Summer that you love them by giving NE back, Cane tells Phyllis it would be a win-win (she gets her kids, he gets Lily and the twins back) Victor’s threats are ‘bogus’, Phyllis can see that Cane is so jealous of her. I’m done with you, she dismisses him.
Nate hopes Victoria gets the answers she needs – he’d like answers himself, about Lily. He’s ready to contact the police. It’ll all be over with soon, Victoria’s sure. Is there something you’re not telling me? Nate wonders why she seems so sure.
Jack was drugged in Jabot’s parking lot and woke up in this cabin. He was trying to placate Patty – she must have drugged his Scotch. It made him euphoric – there were no boundaries. You don’t understand the effects of drugs like I do. Diane’s no expert on drugs – but is she expected to believe that Jack forgot he’s a married man!?
It’s ridiculous to think that Jack means more to me than our marriage, Nikki protests; he’s one of my oldest/dearest friends. Haven’t I stood by you all these years!? You’re blinded by jealousy! Be gone! Victor points at the door – I don’t need you! So, you’re throwing me out of the house you built as a gift for me. Fine! Nikki marches out.
Touting Lily’s responsibility, Victoria suggests she and kids took a vacation. That’s not her style – she’d have sent photos, Nate adds that he and Devon confronted Victor. You sounded certain that Lily and the twins would be home soon, he’s suspicious. Cane appears to ask Victoria if her father’s going to let his family go.
You lie, steal and cheat! Nikki confronts Phyllis at the club – what kind of mother steals her daughter’s legacy? My daughter and her legacy will be just fine, Phyllis correctly guesses that Nikki’s conversation with Victor didn’t go well.
Diane chokes back tears as she explains how worried she was – thinking Jack was suffering, maybe dead. Instead, I find you in bed with Patty Williams! I can’t even look at you! she slams out.
Nate’s pissed that Cane ‘screwed up’ by not telling them that Victor kidnapped Lily and the twins. Here’s confirmation, he holds up the photo on his phone. Of course, I didn’t know, Victoria lies. Come clean – how did you know they were coming home? Cane wants details – now.
