Vikki tells Ashland that the jet’s on its way – she’s going to GC. Victor had nothing to do with it. Ashland wonders if she’s having second thoughts about leaving her family. I’d never leave my family, Vikki lets Ashland know that he’s been duped. She drained the account and left him what he deserves – nothing.
Chloe reminds Chelsea that she made her unwitting co-conspirator. Even at your lowest, I was there. I worked with Adam to work with YOU! Chloe’s near tears – it’s incomprehensible that Chelsea’s accusing her of not being a good friend. I’m trying to preserve our partnership and our friendship.
Sally thinks maybe Vikki’s just coming back to make peace with the family. That could be the case, Adam considers it. He agrees – we need more info so we can act accordingly.
Back in the patio, the Newmans are also speculating; going over reasons she might be flying back to GC. Nikki can’t bear the thought of that man harming Vikki.
Vikki makes it clear that she hasn’t forgiven Ashland for lying to her about having cancer. It crushed me. You saving my life wasn’t a selfless act, nor was donating 250 million to Nicks’ charity. This was her plan; to deceive and lie to Ashland the way he did her.
The Newmans continue to speculate about what Vikki’s up to.
Vikki doesn’t think Ashland’s capable of feeling remorse, or love. Your fortune is gone – that hits you where you live. This isn’t what you want, Ashland’s first in disbelief, then quietly admits – you got me. Vikki wants more of a reaction. I’ve committed fraud? she laughs – go ahead and I’ll destroy your life with one phone call. Was it worth it? Ashland asks. Yes, Vikki answers without hesitation.
Chloe tries to hit the reset button with Chelsea. It doesn’t go well. Concern vs. controlling. If you want out, be my guest! Chelsea blows by Sally, then Billy (who follows when she says she’s not OK’ ‘not by a long shot’.
Yes, Billy followed Chelsea. At the park, he asks (and learns) what’s going on with Chloe. Maybe it’s me, she ponders. Billy sits to joke about her bad review of his podcast.
Vikki won’t second guess herself – this plan was hers, not her Fathers. Leaving you with nothing, was all me. Your company is ours; your name scrubbed. Ashland loved Vikki with all his heart and soul. Eyes glistening, Vikki knows he has neither.
As the Newmans talk about Vikki flying home, Adam approaches them to gripe about his plans with Connor being ruined by Vikki. Why is someone who left the company and family using the jet? Does someone wanna tell me what’s changed?
Billy and Chelsea are having a nice chat in the park. He gets her to admit that Chloe might have a point.
Sally takes a seat with Chloe to say that she might have an alternative (to working with Chelsea)
Adam continues to boo-hoo about poor Connor. He’ll be crushed. The least Victor can do is tell him the purpose of Vikki’s visit or is it more than just a visit???
I never want to see you again! is the last thing Vikki says to Ashland. After she slams out, Ashland’s left to look mildly upset.
