Victor meets Michael at The Grand Phoenix. Michael brings up Diane being back in town. Victor hopes she leaves soon. Michael turns talk to his wife who wants him to quit. It’s not going to happen.
Victor doesn’t get why he’s bothering to tell him and says they need to talk about Locke. They need to get rid of “that SOB permanently.” Michael leans in and Victor assures him it won’t mean he’s in danger.
Victor shares that he’s been hovering around Victoria and she’s been cold to him so he stepped up his game and donated 250 million to New Hope in Rey’s honor.
He’s trying hard to convince Victoria that his love for her has transformed him. Michael snorts. Victor says it’s not working. She knows she can’t trust the man. Still, they need to come up with a plan to get him out of town.
