He plans to say goodbye to this terrible year the best way he knows how. They toast to better times ahead and hug. Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela), Lola Rosales (Sasha Calle), Fenmore Baldwin (Zach Tinder), and Cane Ashby (Daniel Goddard) arrive. Fenmore tells Ana she looks great and she returns the compliment. Cane orders a scotch and asks the bartender to keep them coming. Devon joins him and advises him to take it easy.
Nearby, Lola is getting texts from Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and tells Abby, Arturo, Ana, and Fenmore they broke up. Fenmore offers his shoulder to cry on and she accepts. Ana and Abby decide Lola needs a nudge back toward Kyle. By the bar, Devon asks Cane about Lily Ashby (Christel Khalil). He says she’s looking forward to the holidays being over and doesn’t know how he’s going to manage.
Kyle arrives and Lola gives him a look. She asks if he crashed the party, but he says Abby invited him last minute and he welcomed the chance to see her. Across the room, Devon’s irritated when Ana informs him the songwriter won’t meet with him. Cane asks about Nate and Ana assumes he had an emergency.
At Victoria Newman’s (Amelia Heinle) house, she leaves Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) another voicemail saying she and Phyllis Summers (Gina Tognoni) want to know what happened to him. After, she and Phyllis worry someone is targeting the Newmans.
Nikki Newman’s (Melody Thomas Scott) ambulance stops and Nick Newman tells Nate Hastings (Brooks Darnell) they’re at a private airstrip he notices it is one his dad has used before. Nick phones Victoria Newman to update her but George snatches his phone and pulls a gun on them. George takes a call from Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and declares they have to get Mrs. Newman into the building. Once they’re inside, Victor appears. Victor wants to take Nikki somewhere to recover. He and Nick argue and he advises Nick to say goodbye because he may not see either one of them for quite some time.
Nick questions if Nikki wants this, and she awakens and tells him to listen to his father. Nate examines her while Nick asks if Victor’s hiding because he’s guilty. Then Nick asks if he killed J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill)? Victor scoffs about him believing his father’s capable of murder and plans to clear his name. George reports the jet is ready, so Nick and Nikki say goodbye. Victor informs Nate he’ll be coming with them. Nate resists, but Victor strongarms him into accepting for Nikki’s sake. Once alone with Nick, Victor hopes they’ll all be reunited soon. Nick shakes his hand and says, “You take care of her.” Victor replies, “You know I will.”
Back at Victoria Newman’s place, she tells Phyllis Summers the line went dead on Nick Newman’s call. She worries something terrible has happened, but Phyllis doesn’t want to go there. Victoria feels they should warn Sharon McAvoy (Sharon Case), and they decide to keep one another company. Victoria has champagne and will crack that bad boy open.
Phyllis fishes to find out if Victoria had plans with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), but learns he’s hanging out with Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) and Dina Mergeron (Marla Adams). Over champagne and popcorn, Phyllis keeps trying to get information whether Victoria and Billy friends with benefits? Victoria wonders why she’s so interested if she’s not into Billy. They talk about Phyllis and Nick and ‘going back’. Victoria notes reuniting with J.T. Hellstrom was the biggest mistake of her life. Down to the last swallow of champagne, Victoria toasts Phyllis for helping distract from her problems tonight, then continues worrying about Nikki.
Phyllis is hugging her when Reed Hellstrom (Tristan Lake Leabu) arrives. Phyllis goes, and Victoria tells Reed that Nikki went missing and the person who hit her may have taken her. Reed blurts, “No!” He admits he was driving the car.
