Jack’s concerned about Nikki and the kids – are they OK? They are – end of discussion, Victor announces.
Nikki will make sure Audra gets a generous severance package. Her termination is immediate and her NDA ironclad. On her way out, Audra pauses to say that she really hopes Nikki beats this disease.
With shaky hands, Nikki pushes the vodka away and calls Jack. I’m on my way, he leaves Victor puzzled.
Summer’s surprised that Chance remembered her once telling him that she was in the Sunflower Girls. He hasn’t forgotten anything she told him.
At Society, Audra tells Victor that Nikki fired her. Sorry to hear it, he’ll make it up to her – with another position. Audra won’t talk – she signed an NDA and she’d never use Nikki’s sobriety as a bargaining chip. Declining Victor’s offer, Audra knows what her next move is.
Jack makes a beeline to Newman Media. Nikki shares Audra saying her father was an alcoholic. Jack doesn’t trust her. Nikki realizes that confiding in Audra was a mistake. She refused the job in London so I had to fire her. Jack goes through the shirt list of replacements – Nick – Vikki – Adam – Sally. I can’t do this, Nikki frets. Jack has an idea.
Chance never had a rebellious streak like Summer did. She really thought Kyle was the love of her life. But, she feels lighter. Cheers to that,
Jack has a plan but must speak to this person – do it my way. Nikki suggests a leave of absence. No – you need to stay busy, Lean on me, Jack won’t let her destroy all she’s accomplished, You’re strong. Both look startled by a knock at the door. Nikki- are you in there? Victor asks.
