Graham’s in Dina’s suite to tattle on Ashley. No, it’s not true that she sent Ashley there to get something. OK, I gave her the key, she admits to telling Ashley to snoop around his room. Why? For your own damn good.
Nikki wants to come back when the leaves change colour. Jack suggests they stay until that happens. You could grow a beard and chop wood – I’d gather berries, Nikki then tasks Jack with making a fire. When Abby arrives, she’s surprised to see Nikki. Are you two trying to start the final Newman Abbott war?
Behind the bar, Nick gets a text from Faith (the ‘OK’ emoji) Chelsea thinks he has another problem – this place is a graveyard. Nick shut the place down to spend some romantic time with ‘his girl’. The cook made up all your favourite appetizers. As Chelsea decides to make drinks, Victor walks in.
Yup, this place in Florida is ‘swanky’ – 8K a month worth. Graham claims he has no family; maybe the whole Oliver Twist routine is a lie. Ravi hovers as Ashley calls and asks to be connected to the Bloodsworth suite. It’s working! she whispers in astonishment.
We came here for peace and tranquility, Jack and Nikki claim – this doesn’t have to be awkward. Oh yes it does, Abby’s sure Nikki will go back to Victor. She wants to know why everyone turned against her Dad (before the benefit). He’s distraught and afraid of losing his grandchildren. Something happened to upset Faith. After Abby leaves, Jack offers to take Nikki home (knowing Abby’s visit ‘got to’her)
Chelsea won’t be dismissed – she and Nick are a team now. Does that mean you’re in on the decision to turn Faith against me? Telling Faith the truth was Nick’s decision. Chelsea warns that she won’t let her son be used by Victor either. After Chelsea excuses herself, Victor and Nick both feel ‘this one’s on you’.
In a bid to blow off some steam, Billy and Phyllis first work their muscles with weights, then hit the mats to do some crunches.
Dina just wanted Ashley to satisfy her curiosity (and put an end to her suspicions) Graham’s reaction makes her think Ashley may have found something in his room. Graham claims that he has nothing to hide. Dina then gets a call.
Faking a Southern accent, Ashley asks to speak to Mrs Bloodworth. ‘Speaking’, an elderly woman doesn’t want to discuss getting a break on her long-distance calling – her son pays all the bills. Graham Bloodworth is a liar, Ashley concludes for Ravi after the woman hangs up.
You talked to a child about an adult situation, Victor accuses – and defends telling Faith about a life-changing experience she was about to face. One YOU caused, Nick blames Victor for making Faith feel obligated to lie for him to her parents. He then drops the bomb that it wasn’t Faith who told him about the visit – it was Mom.
