Victor also believes in Claire’s innocence. She hates her Aunt. He agrees with Jack – we have to focus on finding them. Chance doesn’t approve of Victor questioning the driver. Family’s operating on emotion often ends badly – let the cops do their job. Victor reacts as expected – stay the hell out of it.
Cutting me off at the knees is a bold move, Billy never wanted to replace Lily. Self-preservation brings out your eyes, he insists – we’re good together. I’d never betray you – I’m the one you should trust (over family) he claims.
Nikki refuses to let Victor in on her plan – he thinks I’m too fragile to face Jordan. She doesn’t take kindly to Cole implying that she is – I know what I can and can’t handle! I’ve met your conditions – give me Claire’s number, RIGHT NOW!
Victor tells Summer that the fact that her ‘friend’ used to work for the GCPD doesn’t mean a damn thing to me. Chance can either get onboard of leave the premises. Jack and Kyle agree. Victor’s on his phone – bring the driver in; he’ll be well compensated. When Chance walks out, Summer follows.
Lily and Billy join Devon and Abby at CW. When Nate arrives Jill (by video) asks why he’s there. Devon asked him to come – before they discuss Daniel, he wants Nate to be reappointed to the board.
Lily wishes Devon had talked to her first. Yes, Abby knew. Nate? No – but he’s humbled and grateful. Hmmm, so only you two knew, Billy finds that ‘interesting’. When Jill gripes, Devon points out that Neil’s will specified that Nate was to have a seat on the board of Hamilton Winters. Let’s have a vote (Billy seems satisfied to have proved to Lily that her family won’t have her back)
Out front of the ranch, Summer catches up to Chance. He wishes he’d reminded Victor of all the times his plans (without the police) have blown up in his face. He left the force partly because of people like Victor thinking they can get away with everything. The police keep losing Jordan, Summer just wants her son home and doesn’t care how it happens.
Give me the damn phone! Nikki demands – we’re wasting time. Of course she’s ‘agitated’ – Jordan has to be stopped! Have you been drinking again? Vikki asks. Nikki has no poker-face.
Ordered to take a seat, the driver claims to have told the police everything he knows (which isn’t much) His truck was stolen. Jack and Victor’s bad cop-worse cop interrogation makes the man visibly nervous.
The vote to add Nate to the board a tie (Billy/Jill, no – Devon/Abby, yes) the deciding vote will be Lily.
Chance understands that Summer’s scared but still thinks the police should handle it. Summer just wants her son home safely. Have faith, Chance will go check with the lead detective. It’ll be OK, he leaves.
No! Nikki hasn’t been drinking (and is angered that Vikki would ask) I promise you I haven’t been drinking again, she lies, albeit in a softer tone ~hug~
Victor offers Dave the driver 100K for inside info. The woman you’re in cahoots with is a murderer, Jack adds. You can save a child’s life – tell us everything you know, Victor makes the man tremble.
