Sally corners Nick in the foyer of the GCAC. They awkwardly talk about financial reports for her new business.
She couldn’t have done this without his support. He always knew she could accomplish whatever she put her mind to.
Spectra asks about Victor and says Adam mentioned something about his health.
Nick isn’t thrilled to hear she’s been discussing this with his brother.
They go to his suite so they won’t have to talk about his family in public.
He was hoping that Adam would be more discrete about it and assumes he was looking for sympathy.
She promises not to say anything to anyone. He’s only angry at his dad.
Sally assures him she doesn’t think his brother is exploiting this.
Nick admits that he’s scared as hell for his dad. He hates all the uncertainty.
She suggested the siblings should work together but he thinks her faith is misplaced.
He’s surprised his brother brought this up to her. It makes him think that she must be on close terms with him again.
She won’t say but he assumes she’s decided to figure out what her relationship with Adam really means.
Adam stops by his father’s office and tells him he has some ideas to run by him.
Nate listens at the door as Victor starts talking about streamlining Kirsten. Adam notices this is off.
Hastings enters and takes Adam into the hallway.
By the elevators, they discuss how Victor seems to be deteriorating.
Adam has spoken to a specialist but his siblings have dismissed his attempts to deal with this.
Nate offers to talk to Victoria but Adam doesn’t think there’s anything he can say. He will take care of his father on his own.
Once Adam leaves on the elevator, Nate turns and sees Victor standing behind him.
They go into the office and Victor asks who he was just talking to.
They talk about Victor’s lapse. “What’s happening to me?” he wonders.
Sitting down, Nate explains that Adam has spoken to a specialist about him. Victor assumes this is part of a plot to get him out.
Nate suggests that he could use some distance from all of this and urges him to take a leave of absence.
Victor flatly refuses but Nate suggests it prevent Adam from taking any further moves against him and removing him permanently.
The Newman is more concerned about how he can beat this. Nate thinks they need to get testing done immediately before things get worse.
He offers to get him voluntary treatment for a few days or weeks. They can claim he’s taking an extended business trip.
Adam arrives at the GCAC as Sally is walking out with Nick. He stops his brother and tells him their dad had another moment.
He thinks they need to deal with this immediately.
Nick refuses to trust that he has their father’s best interests at heart.
Adam knows he probably hates his guts but he does care about their father.
They rehash him meddling with Victor’s meds in the past. Adam explains he’s arranged for a doctor to observe their father.
His brother doesn’t like this plan but Adam asks him to observe it all first hand. Nick agrees.
