Nick thinks this would be a sweet deal for Vikki – Adam leaves; you keep your spot at NE. He sticks around and he can go after custody of his son, Vikki quickly amends … I mean YOUR son. This is what he wanted – for us to be at each other’s throat, Nick’s pissed. Vikki agrees – because neither one of us will back down. Adam’s so dangerous – we can’t let him win.
Lola and Kyle are so busy making out that they don’t notice smoke billowing from the oven. The fire alarm going off, Lola barks orders as she fans at the oven with a towel. Get a broom and turn the alarm off, she shouts – haven’t you ever done this before?? Finally managing to hit the off button, Kyle laughs – that was…. amazing. Dinner may be ruined but the evening is NOT ~kiss~
Adam sounded sincere? Nick yelps at Vikki – about what? Stealing my kid!? Extortion?! Adam’s out to screw us over. He expects you to steal 500 million from NE – Dad would never forgive you. And no way in hell is he taking Christian. I’M his Father – that boy is MY heart. And what does he want with Chelsea and Connor? Vikki wonders. Nick won’t drag her into this. Wait – you know where she is??? Vikki’s stunned.
Mariah and Tessa drop by the penthouse. Tessa respects Ana’s expertise and talent and hopes she respects hers. That said, she doesn’t like what Ana did to the track. The song means a lot to me. I want people to have the same feeling I did when writing the song. Can we strip it down to its essence? When Mariah chimes in, Ana basically tells her to butt out. And does Tessa want a career in music or what???
Kyle and Lola are making out in their new bed.
Since we’re being honest, Ana thinks the song pretty and Tessa’s quirky Indie-girl look is charming – but it won’t sell. She respects Tessa’s talent but there are millions of people out there who’d jump at this opportunity. Either we do things my way or part ways. Yes, Tessa’s sure about this – burn the contract. Guess you got what you wanted, Ana calls out to Mariah – to hold her back – watch her fail. Tessa doesn’t fail – and she doesn’t settle for less than what she’s worth, Mariah says as she closes the door.
Both sitting on the staircase, Sharon can’t wait to start building memories of her and Rey in ‘our’ home.
Vikki’s stunned to hear that Chelsea sent Nick a few texts. Nick never replied and won’t inflict Adam on her and Connor. It should be her decision. She needs to know he’s alive, Vikki insists. If Adam wants to find her, he will. I know you’ll do the right thing, she gives Nick a hug and leaves him to call Adam. Have you made a decision? Adam asks. As a matter of fact, Nick has.
