Leaving with Nate, Adam’s further puzzled when his Dad sends them off with a cheery ‘see you at the office’.
In the park, Phyllis continues to overdo it – I’m a good time (no longer reckless but still fierce) Danny’s confused – where did this come from? YOU, Phyllis credits his talk.
Lily loves this place and couldn’t be happier for Daniel. He plans a proper housewarming later and hopes a kiss will make her postpone work.
At NE, Adam shares Victor’s meltdown at Society. He fired me. Nate knows that Vikki’s concerned about her Dad’s erratic behavior. Though not convinced, he does want to protect Victor and the company.
Joining Victor at Society, Nikki wastes no time relaying Nick’s concerns. The kids are frightened and so am I. If this is part of the plan, it’s too cruel. OK, Victor just wants to find out which of his kids is a traitor. It’s Adam, Nikki’s sure. Leave it to me, Victor reassures.
Arriving at the park to watch his Dad delight his Mom with a concert story, Daniel quips – don’t you have a job to get to? He and Lily have an excuse for being late. His new apartment has a spare room. Good, because Danny might stick around. Phyllis looks smitten.
Hi son, Victor greets Adam as he ambles into his office. While Adam accosts Nikki – have you noticed anything ‘off’ with Dad? You don’t care about him, she repeats her warning – hurt Victor and I’ll destroy you! Walk away before this turns ugly.
Meanwhile, in the office, Nick’s upfront about his concern. 24 hours ago we were punching the long bag – you could barely keep up, Victor retorts. And, when Vikki adds her concern, he wags a finger at her – this is your doing.
Her hand on Danny’s knee, Phyllis invites everyone out for drinks to celebrate. He, Daniel and Lily are all ‘in’.
Victor berates Vikki – you want to reclaim the CEO position. Vikki promises that from the bottom of her heart, she wants to protect her Dad. Victor’s fed up with his kids trying to stay him in the back.
Still by the elevators, Nikki warns Adam that she’s watching his every move. I won’t let you break Victor’s heart again. After she storms off, Adam hears ‘get the hell out of my office!’. Vikki blasts by him, followed by Nick.
