Daniel stops by Lily’s penthouse and asks if she’s busy.
He has something exciting to show her and leads her off.
Daniel takes Lily to his new apartment down the stairs from hers.
She jokes about how hard it will be to get away from him.
They kiss. She hopes he’ll move in.
He was hoping she liked the idea of him in the building so he already bought it.
She thinks that was presumptuous and he jokes about how persuasive he can be.
They make out.
He warns that he will need help decorating.
They talk about how to make it cool and comfy. She suggests he hire Sally.
Daniel suggests they tour the apartment very slowly.
Eventually, she points out they need to get to work.
He suggests they come back for a celebration later.
He tempts her into being late and they make out.
Phyllis arrives at the GCAC and asks Danny if she can join her.
He agrees since she’s in a good mood.
She hasn’t felt so upbeat in a long time and has scraped the last bits on a nasty connection off her shoe.
She’s finally feeling optimistic about her future for the first time in a long time.
Phyllis won’t explain her “nasty connection” and insists it’s over, just like she’s over all of her past.
Her enthusiasm seems over the top to him but she refuses to deal with any skepticism and only wants to seek the sun wherever she goes.
She begs him to say he’s happy for her so he does. Her upbeat attitude is infectious.
Phyllis asks the waiter to box his breakfast and give her an order to go.
Phyllis takes Danny to the park with their breakfasts.
She knows she’s been reckless, violent, and moody.
He says that’s an understatement.
She adds competitive and fierce.
But they’ve all changed and she’s moved on.
They talk about her new job and she understands their son’s mistrust.
She’s just trying to live in the present.
Danny wonders where all of this is coming from. Phyllis says he’s taught her that you are how you feel.
They chat about his concerts.
Daniel and Lily stop by and he reminds his mom she needs to get to work.
They tell his parents that he’s got an apartment and there’s guest room for his dad.
Danny hopes that includes extended stays because he’s thinking of sticking around longer than he’d expected.
They agree to have drinks later.
Lily and Danny reluctantly agree.
Nick meets his sister and mother at Newman.
After they bicker about Nate, Nick explains that he was up all night worrying.
He’s witnessed that his father is fading and it’s happening faster than he’d ever imagined.
Nick explains that he was having a normal conversation with his father but he kept slipping up on details.
He knows everyone has lapses, but Victor seemed to think that Adam and Sally were still having a baby.
That confused him and he took off.
This is worse than Victoria thought.
Nick adds his father wants him back at the company.
He assumes that was an unconscious cry for help.
His sister takes this as proof that her concerns have been justified and she’s not just hatching a revenge plot.
Nikki says it could just be natural memory loss.
Her kids think it could be something worse.
It’s killing them to talk about this.

At Newman, Adam tells Nate about his father’s extreme memory lapses and his meltdown.

She’s relieved he’s finally on her side.

He claims his son was just confused. She asks if he is. He insists he’s not.
Nikki is frightened and so are the children.

When Nikki and Victor get to the office, he walks right by Adam, who asks Nikki to talk.

Adam says she’s wrong and she orders him to walk away before this gets ugly.
She tells him she is watching his every move and won’t let him break Victor’s heart again.
Nick and Victoria corner their father in his office to tell them how concerned they are.
“What the hell are you talking about?” he asks.
They tell him they are worried the pressure is getting to him and know he would express the same concern if either of them seemed off.
Waving his finger at his daughter, he asks if this is her doing, accusing her of trying to reclaim the CEO position.
His daughter promises she’s just trying to protect him.
Victor promises he will no longer tolerate them stabbing him in the back. He orders them out.
