guard. He reveals that his son has been having an affair with Sienna Bacall. If they’re not together, it’s possible that he’s in real trouble.

Victor promises to relay this to Michael Baldwin.

Nikki, meanwhile, spots Lily at Society and they have an exchange about Noah. Lily steps away to take a call from Mattie, and admits she’s been talking to her dad, who is trying to be the man they remember. Unfortunately, she says, it ended on a more complicated note.

Cane asks, “What

 

 

happens next?” She shrugs. That’s up to him. They banter about the past, and Cane invites her to the shower. When she heads in before him, his expression makes it clear that he’s been play acting.
