Vikki bumps into Kevin and Mariah downstairs. They aren’t eager to consult with her about the project Victor stole. He really should have left Adam in charge of it – backstabbing is right up his alley.
Adam wouldn’t wish what Noah’s going through on anyone. Keep quiet is his advice too – he’s not sure what to do about Luca just yet. How do you live with it? Noah asks. Adam didn’t – he had to become someone else. You didn’t take a life, he reminds. Delia’s not coming back – Adam must live with that. If you’re thinking about coming clean, don’t. Secrets are an unfortunate part of life.
Chelsea doesn’t want to accept secrets – for her or Connor. She hopes he’ll choose a safer occupation; a farmer like Hope. He needs to stay away from NE and everything it stands for.
Luca returns to needle Adam about Victor not confiding in him – he has leverage and wants more power at NE starting now. You must agree, right?
Wandering around in a towel, Cane knows it wasn’t Lily who tricked him – Jill tricked both of them into bed. Disappointed that nothing’s changed, Lily kisses Cane good bye. He yanks her back inside for a passionate kiss.

Kevin spots Billy coming downstairs to greet Vikki (perhaps they aren’t the only former partners Natalie’s cutting back in) Vikki tells Billy that she just checked in with the programmer. That girl’s trouble. Billy claims to be fine about missing out on the deal – he’s found a way to make peace with it.
On the patio, Noah blasts Marisa – Luca KNOWS! You can’t go after him, Marisa warns. I won’t go after your precious husband (Noah’s confessing to the police)
Back in Victor’s office, Adam hands Luca the recording with the fake Feds and the dossier on the Santori’s. Luca will go work on a new contract – our families will do great things together. Now he’ll leave Adam to call Daddy, to tell him how badly he screwed up.
Next: Will you just tell me!? Is Adam involved?? Chelsea badgers. I can’t! Marisa’s near tears…. You’re right. I can’t keep you in the dark any longer, Nick tells Sharon … Hey, Paulie, a disheveled Patty sits behind his desk at the station. Long time no see.
