Meeting over, Abby calls her Dad – we didn’t get the price you were looking for – we got a better one. Victor’s impressed. Abby thanks her Dad for the opportunity. I love you, Dad. When Nikki comes home, Victor’s available for lunch (because Abby took his meeting) Hard to believe that Abby would be the one to follow in his footsteps. Nikki updates that she helped Nick find a nanny. Now, if only she could help her other son. Say the word and Victor will look for Dylan.
The drinks flowing freely, Alex and Derek can tell they’ll enjoy working together. Getting a text, Alex wants to go to a VIP party – unless Derek would rather take the party upstairs. He does.
Nikki’s tempted but will wait until Dylan comes home – then she’ll let him know that she loves him just as much as her other kids. Who’d have thought Abby would be the one to take the reigns at NE? Nikki knows the kids are grateful – and so is she. I like this new Victor – a lot ~kiss~
Anne nowhere in sight, call-me-Nick gives Monica emergency numbers and full instructions. He won’t be long. As Monica goes up to quiet a crying Christian, Nick smiles as he hears them on the monitor.
Dylan’s wedding ring in her hand, Sharon worries some more – he couldn’t even say the words (that he’d come home safely) I can’t lose him, she tells Mariah. I couldn’t bear it.
About to leave the bar, Alex shows Derek that she bought something to spice things up. Looking at the small baggie of powder, Derek says ‘not here’ and leads her upstairs.
Next: Hello you two, may I join you? Jack saunters over to Gloria and Mike’s table at the club …. Maybe he felt he didn’t want to risk it, Chris suggests. Dylan would find a way, Paul’s sure. What if he’s in serious trouble? Kevin worries … In Derek’s room, Alex turns a lamp over and finds a bug.
My Thoughts: Nikki’s relieved that Victor hurt his shoulder in the boxing ring at the club – as opposed to what? Fighting hooligans in an alley? How many times does a 70+ year old man get into fisticuffs on average? I’m guessing none …. If there was any chance of that yogurt coming out of Nick’s shirt in the wash, Nikki ruined it by dry rubbing it in with all her might. Has she never heard of soda water? … Isn’t it a bit awkward to have one candidate listen to another candidate being interviewed for a job? Anne really couldn’t think of a favourite childhood toy; how about Barbies, Furby’s or an EZbake oven?? … So now Abby’s going to be at the helm of Newman? That’ll go over well with Vikki … Wouldn’t it be a refreshing surprise if Derek/Dylan tried and enjoyed a taste of the wild life in Miami – and stayed gone until someone saw him on an episode of COPS and hauled him back to the AbbottWinters foundation. Surely, it must have occurred to him that cozying up to drug lords might necessitate doing some drugs? (which sounds like a horrible idea for someone with PTSD)
