Nikki thanks Adam for meeting her at the club. Victor’s putting me in impossible situations – he’s about to cross the line, he whines. Like he did with Marco Annacelli? Nikki heard all about it (from Jack) Poor Phyllis – and to think Victor used that same rationale to justify turning Noah in to the police. Nikki must save Victor from himself, before it’s too late.
Dylan’s told the whole story – Adam denied hurting Luca. Yes, Chelsea believed him, but Summer didn’t – we must find Luca! Dylan didn’t realize she cared about Luca so much. No, she cares about her Grandfather (doing something he can’t come back from) Noah comes out to say that fighting with Victor made his life hell (and basically warns her away from him) Exiting, Summer doesn’t appreciate the advice. Noah assures Dylan that he won’t leave town – he’s going home with the woman he loves. ‘You should do the same’.
Coming home to a dark empty house, Sharon doesn’t take long to sound the alarm bells. They’re not here!!! Sage, Sully, and Faith are gone!!!
Why would Sage take the kids out in this weather!? Why didn’t she contact us? She did, Nick reads a note – Sage took the kids to the penthouse. Well, that was …. Sharon stammers. Smart? Responsible? Nick supplies. Sharon trusts Sage. Nick doesn’t think it a good idea to leave – there’s black ice everywhere. Let’s stay here and wait it out. How about a fire? That sounds nice, Sharon agrees.
Back home, Adam’s on the phone with Monique – did Chelsea say where she was going? No – Ok. Sage then arrives with the kids – her place has no heat.
Dylan’s surprised to find Chelsea moping at CL’s – everything OK? No. Adam? Dylan guesses – he heard Summer’s story. Shrugging Summer’s worries off, Chelsea believes Adam – she’s not worried he’s a killer, she’s worried that Adam’s forgotten how to say ‘no’ to Victor.
Now home, Summer asks Natalie to look at the cameras for Luca – this is the only option we have – PLEASE!
Back at TotT, Phyllis and Billy try to figure out what’s going on with Victor and Adam (who’ll still compromise everything he loves for his Father) What if Victor’s empire’s crumbling from within? Victor better not destroy himself before we can! The lights then go out.
With no cell signal, Phyllis isn’t worried about Jack (he’s with Neil) Billy reports that Vikki and the kids are home safe. They discuss how their spouses would react to their plan – Jack’s focused on saving Jabot and Neil. Vikki wouldn’t understand, she’s her Father’s daughter. Billy loves her so much – but she won’t change. I can’t change. That’s not true, Phyllis thinks Billy has already changed.
Faith thanks Adam for the hot chocolate. Why is she babysitting? Mommy and Daddy are keeping Noah out of jail. So, just your typical Wednesday, Adam jokes. When Sully starts chortling, Adam picks him up to soothe him.
Marisa wants Noah back in bed. He’s looking out the window, admiring the storm. They hope Nikki’s right (that he’ll get off easy) ~kiss~
Deciding to wait out the storm at the club’s bar, Nikki eyeballs the bottle of vodka, but orders a coffee. I need to stay wide awake.
