Adam pleads with her to tell him all about it. She fills him in, and says she'd rather stay away from Victor's house.

Nick is taken aback, but Phyllis is tickled! Just then, Victor comes in and asks to speak to Nick alone. Phyllis says, "Sure!" Victor then turns to Nick, saying, "Something is wrong with your mother." Nick sighs, "Why do you care, Dad?" Victor replies that Nikki is the mother of two of his children. "She's in trouble! I feel it! I sense it!" Nick tells him it's none of his business, and if Nikki needs help he'll take care of it! Victor warns Nick that David Chow is a dangerous man - he feels it in his bones!

Just then they hear voices. Sabrina says, "It sounds like Adam has company!" Outside, Heather and Adam make out by the pool. He suggests that they take it upstairs, and as they go in, they run straight into Victor. As Heather goes to change, Victor informs Adam that that woman tried to frame him. Adam says that Heather told him there was something wrong with the evidence - she was just doing her job! Victor tells him bluntly that she is not welcome at the Ranch!
Paul turns up at the Club and joins Nikki, who is sitting alone in the dining room at a table. She smiles a little, "Why is it you always seem to turn up when I need someone?"
