Stopping by Stephanie and Nate’s table at Society, Lily’s updated that Nikki’s had a medical emergency – she could go blind. Stephanie (off taking a call) knows the only surgeon who might be able to help, Nate adds.
An emotional Victor stands by the door as Victoria, Nick and Claire hover around Nikki’s bed. My vision’s deteriorating, she whimpers. Near tears, Victor slips out.
We’re all here to support you, Nick, Victoria and Claire reassure Nikki. Victoria and Claire find Victor in the waiting room. You can’t leave when Mom needs you the most.
*No time for spellcheck or proofreading as I’m cheering on the USA vs. Turkey.
Kyle ends a call with Harrison when Jack arrives at CL’s. Jack insists on being the one to break into Markham’s house but needs Kyle’s help to do it.
Markham’s not lying – Patty moved in at Jack’s request. Is this a sick joke? What kind of therapy is this!? Diane erupts. Who told you? Patty??? No, your husband did.
Lily’s reminded of when her Dad lost his eyesight. Nate explains that Stephanie’s on the phone with a specialist. He’s read about some new techniques but this calls for someone with experience. Nate misses being a surgeon but is happy working with his family and offering medical advice when asked – the best of both worlds.
With weepy hugs and I love you’s, Victor goes to meet with Nate and Stephanie. Seeing his sister sobbing in Claire’s arms, Nick refuses to leave his Mom’s side. You have the most perfect face, she caresses his chin.
I told you this was my worst nightmare, Diane’s beginning to think that Markham orchestrated this whole thing with Patty. Do you know her!? Are you working with her!? OMG – I’m being gaslit!
Jack insists on being the one to break into Markham’s house. We’ll bring Mom home safe, Kyle vows.
