After Trina Mentions [Spoiler’s] Name, Ava’s Monitors Go Off — and Anna Is Close to Learning What Victor Has Over Valentin

Anna meets with Victor at the Metro Court pool. She notes ever since Valentin has returned he’s been a new man, and she believes Victor is behind that. Victor states Valentin has simply realized that he has a family who needs him. Anna points out that when Valentin left town, he was barely speaking to Victor, but now they suddenly have this bond.

Victor again says Valentin has always been a family man. Anna knows Valentin adores Charlotte and asks how she is. Victor waxes about how she loves her boarding school and the horses and begged her father to stay for the summer because of the new equestrian school. Victor needs to depart and is glad they had this chat. He leaves, and a light bulb goes off in Anna’s head.

Lucy shows up at Valentin’s room at the Metro Court to talk to him about Deception. She feels their brand is tarnished, and for the sake of their company, Sasha has to go. He doesn’t understand why she’s coming to him as he is not involved in the day-to-day stuff. He also notes Martin said… Lucy realizes he talked to Martin and asks where he is. Valentin asks, “So you are worried about Martin?” Lucy says she is, but he doubts that seeing how she’s fawned over Victor.

Lucy swears her loyalty to Martin hasn’t wavered. Valentin tells her that if she doesn’t want Victor, she was trying to honeytrap him for information, so what did she hope to learn? Lucy tells Valentin to let her worry about Martin and Victor, and he should focus on what she said about Sasha. Lucy departs, and Valentin takes off after her.

Outside Ava’s room, Spencer tells Trina that he’s sorry Ava got hurt, mostly because it hurts her. Trina asks if he’s here for her. He admits he is, and he also needs to support Ava as she is family as his uncle says. Trina asks about his father, and Spencer rants, “To hell with him.” Trina thought things had changed between him and his dad. He says things haven’t, he is the same old Nikolas. Trina realizes Nikolas hurt Spencer, touches his hand, and says he can talk to her. He tells her it’s not her problem anymore. She decides to check on Ava.

In Ava’s room, Nikolas seethes that it wouldn’t have come to this if she had only listened to him, and now it’s too late. He hates to see her suffer and then stands over her.

Trina walks in and asks what Nikolas is doing. Nikolas claims he’s fluffing her pillows. Trina doesn’t know why this would happen to Ava. Nikolas says whoever did this must hate her. Trina points out that it could also be someone who used to love her. Nikolas departs to give her time with Ava. Trina sits by Ava’s side and cries she needs Ava and begs her to open her eyes.

Back in Finn’s office, Liz can’t recall where she went to Jordan, and Finn doesn’t want Liz to say anymore without a lawyer. Suddenly Nikolas appears and says he can help Jordan understand where Liz was. He says they were together at the time of the attack. Jordan is satisfied with the answers, for now. However, she may need to speak to Nikolas again. She departs when she gets a call.

Alone, Finn asks what that was all about. Nikolas reminds Finn that he found them together. Finn is paged to deal with a patient and departs. Liz asks Nikolas why he lied because she had no idea what happened to her that night before he found her. He says they both know she didn’t do it, and the PCPD should be focusing on the real criminal. Finn returns, and Nikolas leaves to check on Ava. Finn can’t help but wonder if Nikolas wanted to help her or if was he helping himself.

Victor arrives and asks Spencer about Ava. Suddenly Jordan approaches them with new information. She knows for a fact Spencer was puking in the guest bathroom according to the housekeeper around the time of the attack, and given his state if he saw anything he wouldn’t be a reliable witness. Nikolas appears, and Jordan comments “Apparently it runs in the family.” Nikolas rants that he’s tired of her harassing his family instead of looking for the real culprit. Jordan answers, “Or maybe we are closer to finding them than you think.”

Back in Ava’s room, Trina tells Ava her family is here and waiting for her to wake up, even Spencer. Suddenly, the machines Ava’s hooked up to begin to beep.
