Victor Unraveled

Cane walks into the ranch, where Victor and Nikki needle him for getting screwed over by Billy and Phyllis. Cane’s surprised to learn Billy was involved, and asks Victor to let Lily and the twins go. Victor intones that if he wants his family, he’ll have to get his company back from Phyllis.

Cane hollers that he doesn’t know how to do that and panics over the patently ridiculous idea that Victor might hurt Neil’s daughter and grandchildren. He can’t believe Nikki’s OK with this. Victor bellows that he either gives him what he wants, or he’ll never see Lily and the twins again! Cane walks out.

Nikki wrings her hands and Victor assures her she’s not going to sit around and wait for Cane Ashby. She warns he’d better not pretend Billy or Phyllis’ kids have been abducted. He plans on becoming their worst nightmare (like he wasn’t before).

Billy Boy vs. Peg Leg

At home, Billy replays his argument with Sally in his head until Nick walks right on in, announcing he doesn’t need an invitation since Billy messed with his family. Billy needles Nick about his leg.

Shocking Sharon

Nick hobbles onto the Crimson Lights patio and grimaces in pain. Inside, Chelsea’s still updating Sharon on the downfall of the house of Newman. The blonde’s not surprised Phyllis is up to her neck in this. As they predict she’ll lose all of her friends and family (again), Nick agonizes his way over the table.

As the women cluck about his leg, Nick insists he’s just frustrated. They trash Phyllis until Chelsea wonders if the Martin Laurent experience pushed her into this. Nick snaps and throws his empty water bottle, vowing he’ll make sure Phyllis pays for this for the rest of her freakin’ life. Both Chelsea and Sharon are shocked by his behavior.

She cries, “I love you too, Billy.” He wanted it all, but for her he was always enough. Ramming the knife right through his heart (and ours), she sobs, “I’m really sorry I couldn’t be that for you,” and leaves the room.

At the ranch, Victor has a feeling Nikki thinks he’s responsible for all of this. She, and Adam, deny this. Victor declares that he doesn’t lose and bellows, “I will crush them! All of them!”
