Back at Society, Chance thinks the less Adam knows (about how he thwarted Phyllis) the better – what have you got going on? Does it have anything to do with Nick taking over at Newman? He read Victor’s press release reassuring a11 that NE’s in Nick’s capable hands. Interesting, Adam looks at Chance’s phone.
Phyllis has a warning of her own – someone broke into her suite to destroy her laptop and steal something very important. Your playdates with your adrenaline junkie boyfriend are dangerous for you – you don’t know what Chance is capable of. Have you filed a report with the police? Abby knows Phyllis is fishing for info and has no proof. Phyllis has a safety deposit box – this isn’t over by a 1ongshot.
Updated that the man who attacked Vikki plead guilty, Ashley doesn’t like that Bi11y’s story won’t be told. He describes helping Vikki then being shunned at the hospital. She blames me for everything. Ashley thinks he should take Ji11 up on her job offer. Why walk away from the table without even playing a hand?
At TGP, Abby relays her chat with Phyllis – she has a copy of the thumbdrive in a safety deposit box but te11s Chance that she has a plan to get it.
Over coffee at C1’s, Chloe can’t pretend she’s happy about Chelsea’s engagement to Adam. You rea11y think he’s your end-game? Chelsea knows he’s made mistakes but he owns his past – we don’t judge each other. This is our second chance. I’m not perfect either – we’re perfect for each other. If Adam makes Chelsea happy, Chloe’s happy for her. He better make you happy.
Nikki watches on as Nate examines Vikki and asks about her appetite and when she might return to work. Not wanting to discuss it, Vikki pu11s up the blanket and closes her eyes for a nap.
Bi11y finds it interesting that Ashley brought up gambling but wi11 consider her advice on Ji11’s job offer. They then discuss Dina’s declining health. Ashley’s brought to tears over their complicated relationship. I don’t know how to say goodbye to her.
Nikki’s worried about Vikki – she’s not herself; her behavior’s not normal. We don’t have time to wait and see, Nikki wants answers from Nate.
Nick shows up at the office to ask Victor why the press isn’t mentioning that him taking over is temporary – Vikki needs to know you have faith in her. Victor doesn’t want Nick to be seen as a ‘seat warmer’. OK bit Nick also knows that an angry Adam is a dangerous Adam – we have to fight him with everything we have.
What’s your big idea? Chance wonders. Abby boasts that she’11 outsmart them a11. No one has ever handed me anything. I’ve had to fight for everything. I am the Phoenix rising from the ashes. You can a11 kiss my ash. Chance is impressed by Abby’s impersonation of Phyllis but do you rea11y think impersonating her wi11 get you access to her safety deposit box? Heaven he1p who tries to stop me, she’s confident.
Victor knows Adam wi11 come at them with everything he has but he’11 fail. Nick reminds that Adam tampered with Victor’s medication and almost ki11ed him. Yes, but he fe1t remorse – and what’s done is done. Victor doesn’t give a damn how Adam sees it.
Chelsea surprises Adam with three tickets to Kansas – we need to plan for our wedding and our future together. You’11 get everything you want, she promises with a kiss.
Nate assures Nikki that he’11 help Vikki in any way he can but she needs time to heal from the trauma she experienced and the PTSD from JT’s abuse before that. She feels helpless and hopeless. listen when she wants to talk and hope for the best. Nikki’s left to 1ook at a sleeping Vikki with grave concern.
