Locke lets himself into Victoria’s office. She thinks he’s there to rattle her and it won’t work. Victor tries to get rid of him. Victoria tells her ex that his things are in storage. He can pick them up anytime.
He congratulates her on beating him at his own game, something nobody has done before. He assumes she was the source to tell Billy about his cancer. “You mean your make-believe cancer,” Victor says.
Locke assumed she’d hang on to this to keep him at bay. Vic’s glad the world knows who he is. “You have no more power,” and tells him not to go on the attack. He’s not there for revenge. Victor doubts that.
He asks for mercy before he leaves Genoa City. He’d like one more final goodbye to his son. Vic clarifies it’s Kyle’s kid. Locke knows.
Victoria shrugs. His relationship with the kid isn’t her concern.
Ashland asks Victor to lift the restraining order. Victor barks about Locke belonging behind bars and calls the man a monster. Locke tells them the man stripped of everything is the most dangerous. Victoria can see he’s threatening them.
Victor gets in his face. He’ll kill Locke himself if he tries anything.
In Adam’s office, Sally doesn’t like that Adam doesn’t want to tell her what his solution is. She worries about where revenge could lead him. He says that he has no plans to get himself in trouble.
She talks about how her future there looks bleak but he will do what it takes to keep her there. “What about where you belong?” Adam tells her he’ll find his way. He always does.
They agree they have that in common. He tells her he can’t go back to being under Victor’s thumb and answering to Victoria. Sally doubts his sister will trust her to run this division.
He vows to convince Vic she should. He kisses her and asks if she believes him. She wants to get out of there and show him how much she loves him.
At Crimson Lights, Allie finds Noah drinking coffee. She excitedly tells him she loved her first day at Jabot and then asks if he’s still thinking of leaving New Hope. Sharon listens in from nearby.
Noah doesn’t want his family to worry about that. Allie knows that they worry because they love him. He knows. She got him off topic. He wanted to know if she’d go to dinner with him. She’d love to.
She asks for time to get ready. They stare at each other, smiling and she takes off as Sharon appears. He tells her about their plans celebrating Jabot. She admits she overheard them but didn’t mean to.
She knows he’s leaving New Hope. He feels like an outsider there. It’s his dad’s passion project but he doesn’t want to disappoint him. Sharon says not to bottle up his feelings or stay out of obligation.
He’ll stay for a bit. She asks what he wants to do and though he’s not sure, he’s not leaving GC.

He hurls a full bottle of booze at the fireplace and yells out in anger as he tosses the room, and then starts in on the closet, where he grabs clothing and suitcases and throws them in anger, yelling the whole while.
