In tears, Mariah continues to blame herself. Daniel and Lucy’s lives have been destroyed – Heather’s life ended, she wails. Ian almost convinced Tessa, Mariah regrets being so harsh with her. He’s trying to destroy my life all over again.
Your perfect family is nothing but a lie, Jordan gasps – a hoax. Enough – Victor wants to know where Ian is. Too late – ‘my’ Ian will destroy every one of you. You’ll soon be dancing with the devil in hell! Victor barks as the rest of the family look bored.
Jack’s always had faith in Billy and can’t wait to hear what ideas he’s got ‘percolating’ in his brilliant head. You’ll be the first to know – when Billy’s ready. He regrets not having time to right his wrongs at Chancellor. When Sally arrives, she’s happy to hear that the brothers are finished talking – because she has a surprise for Billy.
Don’t let this man hurt you more than he already has and don’t let him come between you and Tessa. Mariah can’t leave now. Sharon’s going to bed soon (and has Faith and Nick for support)
Laying down, Jordan weakly asks – where will you bury me? You have nothing to say to the Aunt who loves you? Have you completely sold your soul? No – Claire’s regained her soul. But when Jordan reaches out to her, Claire takes her hand and looks a bit sad when Jordan takes her last breath. It’s the end, Victor announces. Vikki cuddles an emotional Claire.
Jack comes home to find a robe-clad Diane in a robe and reading ‘vintage’ magazines as inspiration for the Jabot classic line. He relays his ‘very civil’ chat with Billy and credits Victor with Billy maturing and being on the right path.
Keep your eyes closed – Sally leads Billy into a room and flips on the light. Wow – he’s blown away by the way she’s designed his new place. What an amazing surprise. He wanders around picking up this and that; a framed photo of Delia chokes him up a bit. Appreciating the fresh start, he kisses Sally.
Sharon comes down after a hot bath to ask Nick about Ian and Jordan. The family had her cornered, he’s sure she’s in custody by now. Sharon thinks they need to tell Daniel and Lucy who killed Heather.
Victor summons a team to the tackhouse – I’ll explain later. What are we going to do with Jordan? Victor thinks they should tell the police the truth – she escaped from prison to do them harm and drank some poison. It’s over, Vikki comforts Claire.
Good for Billy, Diane’s happy to hear it. Jack hates to see his brother in pain but looks forward to seeing where his new attitude takes him. Touring the house hand in hand, Sally continues to fish for compliments – she already has champagne on ice. Billy has good news to share – he’s moving forward and getting his life back on track. Sally’s proud of him – congratulations. They toast to ‘a new day’.
We’ll tell them in the morning – Nick and Faith insist that Sharon rest tonight. After Faith goes up to bed, Sharon’s in tears as she tells Nick that she survived for her family – she had hallucinations of Nick – you were like my guardian angel. You saved me ¬hug¬
Now at the main house, it’s time for Victor to lecture Nikki, Claire and Vikki – what the hell were the three of you thinking?
Next Week: Jordan’s gone isn’t that all anyone needs to know? Vikki asks. Trust me – it ain’t over! Victor’s pissed … Are you sure Tessa and Aria are missing? Nick asks. Holding a stuffed bunny, Mariah reports that she can’t find Tessa and Aria anywhere. Tessa’s not answering her phone… Aiming a gun at Nick, Victor and Mike, Ian calls up the stairs – Nikki – come down – I don’t want you to miss a moment of what’s going to happen to your family.
