Back at the studio, Hilary’s on the phone asking Evan not to cut out anything Victor said – not even him threatening to sue the show. Devon gripes that he’ll soon be tied up in meetings with lawyers. He hopes they aren’t being played – if this info is fake we and the show will be humiliated. Any idea where it came from? Hilary only knows of one person with the resources to pull this off.
Seeing Phyllis in the hallway, Jack summons her into his office for the ‘party’. Telling Victor he’s sorry about that GC Buzz thing, Jack tries to hand him a business card for a top-notch crisis management PR firm. Be a man for once and own up to what you’ve done, Victor growls.
Ben will pack up his stuff while Abby’s at work. No, he doesn’t want her to help. Let’s just pick the easy way for once. Where will you go? Abby sniffles. Closer to Max, he figures. Abby DID mean her wedding vows. No – you never loved me, Ben disagrees. Abby doesn’t know why she feels this way. We just weren’t meant to be, he concludes. Giving him a kiss on the cheek, Abby leaves in tears.
Nick packed and ready to go, Sharon didn’t mean he had to leave right now. Thanks for everything, she says – the kids will miss you. Nick will miss having kids running around; what he looked forward to with Sage and Christian. You deserve all these great things, Nick gives Sharon a hug.
At the club’s bar, Hilary fishes for info with Ashley – did she see the show on Victor? Does she have anything to say on record?
Saying he’ll hang onto the card, Jack denies releasing the sensitive documents (how would I get my hands on those?) Corporate espionage is more YOUR thing. You should be back at NE shredding documents and cleaning hard drives, he suggests. Have a nice day, Victor strolls out. Phyllis shuts the door and hears that Jack has much bigger misery in store for Victor. Getting a text from Victor, Phyllis claims it’s from Summer and goes to meet Victor in her office. What do you want? she asks. Same as you, Victor says – imagine that.
Next: Hilary tries to coerce Ashley – Wouldn’t it be a nice bandage for Jack to see Victor and Phyllis go down together? …. Who are we suing? Mike asks. Mr and Mrs Devon Hamilton, Victor replies … Speaking to someone in an alley, Jack says that what he’s done to Victor so far is an appetizer. I think he’s ready for his entree.
