Get out so we can take a selfie with the Reed-mobile, Zoey hands her phone to Kendall. I can only have one passenger til I’m 18, he’s sorry to say. Kendall’s sure she’ll get her turn. When Vikki comes out to call it a night, she sends Billy home with Reed.
Victor trusts Abby more than almost anyone else so will appoint her acting CEO while he goes away for a while. Abby’s pleasantly surprised. Yes, maybe she DID feel less valued than Vikki. Victor assures that’s not the case. I won’t let you down, she promises with a hug.
Juliet and Lily are big fans of eye candy hockey players. Admiring photos in a brochure, Lily jokes that she’ll bring one home for Juliet. Make sure he’s single – I have a professional image to protect, Juliet laughs. In the outer lab, Jordan wonders why Cane’s acting weird. Yes, it’s about Lily’s stalker, he lies – or someone like him. Not on my watch, Jordan will keep Lily close – no worries. Yeah, no worries – thanks, Cane continues to look worried.
Benjamin returns to say he’s single too and ready to give dating another shot. After some flirting, he again turns to his phone to send a text. Now, where were we? Miles apart, Ashley’s quip goes over his head.
A hip, young couple join Ravi for champagne. His boss told him to put it on the company card. Ashley’s incredibly special. You’re into her, they guess. No – we’re good friends. You’re a horrible liar, go for it. No, she’s having dinner with a billionaire closer to her age. Enough of that; who said they tech bubble burst, they toast and laugh.
Vikki comes home, followed by Billy and Reed (raving about how his car handles). Sorry, but you can’t keep the car, she announces. What? Reed’s stunned (so’s Billy)
After Benjamin invites Ashley to dinner at a French restaurant while she’s in town, he gets on his phone again. Ashley texts him a goodnight and walks off. Ashley? Ravi jumps up to invite her to join his him and his friends Harper and Chad (who compares her to a supermodel) I like your friends, Ashley takes a seat and glass of champagne.
Reed and Vikki fight about whether or not he can keep the car – you can trust me, he’s near tears. Vikki blames Victor – her decision is final. You ruined the best night of my life, Reed runs upstairs. Billy asks what’s going on – this is about more than a car.
Nikki comes home to greet Abby and take note of Victor’s black eye. After Abby leaves, Nikki learns that she’s been promoted at NE. Arms crossed, Nikki feels like hitting Victor like Nick did. You used Reed’s birthday to stab Vikki in the back. Victor did no such thing. Go to hell you lying sonofabitch, she snaps.
Chad and Harper leave Ashley to whine to Ravi about Benjamin not paying attention to her. She never even got to eat so will go to her room and order room service (it’s too late to go to Chinatown) Sweet dreams, she exits.
