JT de-bugs all three houses and Nikki refuses to give up her quest to help Victor. Nick arrives back home from his Argentina trip. Ugh - awkward minute between Nick and Phyllis when she mentions that Sharon dropped off the envelope she forgot to give him when he stopped by to visit her on the way to the airport, and forgot to mention it to her (Phyllis).
Amber meets Katherine in CL, all excited that a few of Kay's memoirs chapters have interested a publisher.
Brad and Heather at Jill's office. Heather summoned Brad to meet her there so she could update them on a case. (I half liked Heather when she wasn't such an officious little cow. Now. yuck every time she's on!) Heather announces that since Palin and Chow are dead, the case has been dropped as well as all charges against Brad. H flounces off, Brad threatens Jill with a "what goes around, comes around" and she will get hers. (Brad is still pissed that she gave the CEO job to her "wet behind the ears son".)
Amber and Kay discuss the time that Jill was gaslighting her and how that chapter really twigged the publishing company. Kay flashes back to her encounter with Marge and their discussion about alcohol. She calls Marge who refuses to answer her phone, leaves her a message to call.
Nick asks Phyllis why she is so bothered by his visit to Sharon, she denies it, back and forth. Knock, knock - Sharon. Phyllis is clearly jealous and all fired up by Heather's earlier implications that Nick was sneaking around on her.
Kay confides in Amber about her friend with the drinking problem.
Marge at the bar, knocking them back and along comes a man she knows. He tells her that her boss has hung out a help wanted sign because she hasn't been showing up for work. He takes her out of there to sober her up.
Sharon ignores a call from Jack while at CL. Along comes Brad with his great news about the dropped charges.
Nick reassures Phyllis that he's honest with her and faithful to her, he promises her that. They kiss, all okay again.
Heather again. Gah. Nikki lets her have it briefly, Heather tells them (JT and Victoria too) that they are concentrating their search for Victor in Europe, specifically France.
While going through piles of newspaper clippings with Amber, Kay comes across one of her doppleganger rescuing her from kidnappers and hides it.
JT, Victoria and Nikki tell Heather they don't know where Victor is and she's wasting everyone's time. She blusters her usual threats, leaves. Nikki gets an idea to help Victor and rushes off to make a call (to Ashley, I'm assuming).
Jill is angry that her mother is still working on her memoirs, calls it her stupid book.
Brad and Sharon take their coffees out to the CL patio, hold hands, and in comes Phyllis with some choice little digs about Jack not being the jealous type. (Sharon and Brad had specifically gone out there not to e seen, lol.)
Nikki rushes off to catch a flight, won't tell her kids where she's going, but assures them she knows exactly what she's doing. Just before going out the door, she hands Nick a piece of paper with the instructions to set up a meeting with that person for tomorrow and make it look like it's a legitimate Restless Style meeting.
The old fella suggests to Marge that she might need a rehab place to help her stop drinking. She thinks there may be a person she could call instead (Kay, of course).
Jill and Katherine argue about her memoirs. Jill flips out when she hears that there are bidding wars going on for the book, says she can not do this to her and humiliate her yet again. Jill retaliates by making another appointment for her mother, an urgent one, as she believes her mother is losing it.
Brad talks to Abby on the phone. She and Ashley are in London working on a Forester project. Phyllis catches sight of him hugging Sharon goodbye, shakes her head.
Nikki boards a plane.
Next:
Billy hosts a Halloween party at CL. People are all dressed up in costumes. Cane is there with Chloe, Lily is laughing and enjoying herself as Billy welcomes the crowd.
Karen tells Neil that she needs to talk to him about something, something that he deserves to know.
Amber intentionally spills a drink on Colleen at the Halloween party. Colleen, fittingly dressed as a witch, calls her a lunatic.
