Spencer assumes he’s responsible for her attack. Victor has a chuckle about that. His nephew suggests it might be a good time to leave for Cassadine Island.

Victor reminds Spencer that he has as much or more reasons to kill Ava as anyone. Insisting on his innocence, Spencer points out he was vomiting on azaleas while they attack occurred.

His uncle didn’t do it either. If he had, she’d be dead. Neither would turn the other in. They start to wonder if Nikolas is the one they should be looking to protect.

As they drink coffee, they discuss Nikolas’ mistakes. The family hold each other accountable in-house, Victor explains, but keep it from the cops.
