Victor Confronts Nick
At Sharon’s place, Sienna arrives with Victor. Nick guesses his dad has come to try and stop him. Victor orders Nick to hand Matt over; he’ll take care of this. “Not this time,” says Nick. Victor asks his son not to be stubborn like him. Nick reminds him that Matt has tormented him for decades. He needs to be the one to end this.

Sharon warns this will only make Nick feel hollow and ashamed. She’s confident Victor can resolve this. When Nick asks his dad what he would do, Victor says it’s best that no one knows. Nick wants details, but the others are fine with not knowing.
