Back at the ranch, Victor’s concluded his story – that’s everything. You recruited Chloe as your accomplice, Nikki’s in shock – I thought you’d changed. You knew she was unstable. Vikki’s obviously not impressed either. Victor will face the consequences when Chloe’s caught – we must bring her back. He then gets a call – where did you land? Where is she?
Zoey’s not surprised to hear that her ‘bestie’ offered to help Reed – she’s always doing nice things like that. After Kendall leaves, Reed kisses Zoey (as Kendall watches from inside on the verge of tears)
Ashley resents Jack discussing her personal life with his ex. I can handle myself. Jack warns Ashley not to get involved with an employee – what if he wants a raise or feels he’s being treated unfairly. Ashley reminds Jack of the personal fiascos he’s brought to the workplace – Phyllis, his feud with Billy – and Gloria! SHE gets a pass and Ravi’s a problem. What happens when you break his heart? Jack wonders. Mind your own business – I have a plane to catch! Ashley marches out.
Phyllis joins Billy at the club’s bar to compare notes on her online dating and him getting along ‘well’ with Vikki. Yes, she left – urgent family business. Phyllis is sure Billy and Vikki will get back together.
Victor updates his family – the pilot flew Chloe to Thunder Bay, Ontario. She jumped into a waiting car and sped off. He’ll do everything in his power to bring her to justice. Nikki voices what they all feel – Victor’s just as guilty as she is. Adam’s blood is on YOUR hands! Without further word, the kids leave and Nikki heads upstairs. Victor’s left all alone.
Next: Gloria at his side, Jack tells Phyllis that they’re both single – we aren’t hurting anyone … Nick growls at his Mom – he’s just as guilty as Chloe for killing Adam. And no one can ever know about it, Nikki replies …. Chelsea lets herself into Victor’s office (he looks up from his desk)
My Thoughts: Thunder Bay, Ontario? Why the hell would Chloe go way the hell up there? I hope she packed some warm clothes and footwear. A pilot has to file a flight plan BEFORE he leaves the runway – the plan could have easily been tracked … Oh poor Victor – is this where he waddles off feeling all dejected and victimized? Followed by a heroic rescue that will put him back in the good books? Scott sure has his work cut out for him. Knowing what he does – again – about his maniacal Father, why is Nick leaving the house without scooping up Faith? He could at least take her out of the toxic environment (and Nikki’s justifiable fury) …. Do the writers think any of us are on the edge of our seats for this excruciatingly long build-up to what is sure to be the most awkward kiss in the show’s history? I’ll need and empty stomach and a bottle of Pepto for when Ashley and Ravi finally lock lips… Oh look – Zoey’s ‘bestie’ is drooling over Reed. As if the nice girl stands a chance. This is a replay of Britney and Mac, which was a replay of Traci and Lauren, which was a replay of the Brook sisters… Given the current state of security at most US airports, it’s pretty astounding that there’s no one in sight at this one; no security, no locked doors requiring a swipe card, no alarm system, no employees or janitorial crew.
