Jack Saves Jabot From Kyle

At Crimson Lights, Phyllis orders a gallon of coffee from Sharon while Billy tells Johnny and Katie to stay on the patio. He joins the women and remarks on the shocker that JT was the one who tried to kill Victor. When Billy turns away, Phyllis warns Sharon to keep her answers short and not to even think of coming clean like she did with Nick. Billy turns back, remarks on them bonding, and wonders what goes on at these girls’ nights.

In the hospital, a frail-sounding Victor wonders where Nikki was last night. Nikki explains she was with Victoria. Victor reveals that JT hurt their daughter physically and stammers, “Find JT. No police.” Nikki warns JT could be far away by now, but intones that she will go as far as he would, perhaps even further, to protect Victoria.

At home, Victoria answers her door to Paul, who has a search warrant to seek clues to JT’s whereabouts. Paul and his officer head up to the bedroom. Billy and Phyllis arrive and discuss JT’s imminent arrest. Phyllis is stunned to learn Paul’s upstairs. Billy hopes Paul finds something that leads him to JT. Phyllis and Victoria grab the fireplace poker while Billy’s with Paul. Paul reveals he found a tablet and Victoria thinks it’s her dad’s. As Paul leaves, Billy and Phyllis both get calls about the Jabot board meeting. Phyllis tells Billy she has to run an errand and he wonders what’s more important than saving Jabot. Later, Nikki arrives and learns of Paul’s search. Victoria thanks God for Phyllis, who smuggled out JT’s cellphone and the poker. Vikki frets about the rug, which is in the ranch garage, and suggests they ask Victor for help, but Nikki warns he might blackmail them in the future. Victoria learns her father knows JT abused her and blames herself for letting things go too far. She gets a call from Phyllis, who threw the poker in a lake and the phone in a dumpster. Suddenly, Reed enters – he needs to talk to his dad, and accuses Vikki of cutting JT out of his life, but Nikki breaks the news his father tried to kill Grandpa. Vikki warns Reed he may never hear from his dad again.
