Phyllis is in a good mood and feels like she should seize the opportunity to express how she feels.

He further tells them that he couldn't sleep all night because he thinks Victor is fading faster than he had imagined. Nick narrates an incident that happened at the GCAC during their talk, which makes him worried. Nikki reassures him that this happens to everyone and is just a lapse. Victoria feels that it's worse than she thought. Nick wonders if his father's condition is a cry for help. Victoria calls it heartbreaking and expresses her genuine concern for their father. Nick suggests that they all work together to face this situation. Nikki speculates that it could be natural memory loss due to their father's age, whereas Victoria thinks it could be the beginning of something worse. Nick agrees that they have to do whatever it takes to get Victor the help he needs. 

Victor meets Adam at Society. Adam tells Victor that he is not slacking off, but rather multitasking by having breakfast and checking Nate's emails. Victor accuses Adam of insulting his intelligence and suggests that he knows what Adam is up to. Adam is confused and tells Victor that he is only trying to make amends with him. Victor lashes out at Adam, telling him that he is tired of defending him. Victor fires Adam again and moves to a nearby table, leaving Adam bewildered. 

Later, Nate arrives and tells Victor he has a meeting with Adam, and that Adam is doing a great job. Victor wishes Nate a good day and Nate sits down with Adam. Nate senses that something is wrong and asks Adam about it. Adam insists that nothing is wrong, but Nate persists and asks if he had a bad run-in with his father before coming to the meeting. Adam promises to discuss it later. As Nate and Adam leave, Victor wishes them a productive breakfast and says he will see them at the office. Adam stays behind for a moment, leaving Victor wondering if there is something else wrong. However, Adam insists that there isn't and leaves.

She reveals that she had a meeting with Nick and Victoria where Nick shared his concerns about forgetting things that happened at the GCAC. Victor assures Nikki that it did not happen and Nick might be confused. He tries to calm her down by saying that there is nothing to worry about.

Later, Nick and Victoria visit Crimson Lights. Victoria expresses her relief to find out that she's not the only one who thinks that they need to do something about their father.

Nick tells her that he and Sally have broken up, but he's not ready to talk about it yet. They both agree that they need to focus on their father and have an honest conversation with him about their concerns.

As Adam and Nate arrive at the office, Adam updates Nate on what transpired with Victor before Adam arrived at Society. Nate mentions that Victor appeared to be in good spirits. Adam then informs Nate that Victor even told him that he is fired.

However, Nate suggests that they should still stay in protective mode for Victor's health and well-being. Adam agrees, and adds that they shouldn't mention anything to anyone else for the sake of Newman Enterprises.

Victor and Nikki arrive at Newman Enterprises. Victor goes to his office while Adam approaches Nikki and expresses his concerns about his father. However, Nikki interrupts him and firmly tells him that she cannot listen to him complain anymore. She accuses Adam of only caring about what he can do for himself and not his father's well-being. She warns Adam that if he harms Victor in any way, she will make sure he pays for it. She advises him to walk away before the situation escalates. She tells him that she is keeping a close eye on him and will not let him break Victor's heart again.

Meanwhile, in his office, Victor finds Nick and Victoria waiting for him. They tell him that they need to talk to him about his well-being. Victor insists that he is in perfect physical health, but his children insist that they are worried about his mental state. Victor accuses Victoria of convincing Nick that he is mentally unstable and unfit to run the company. He believes that Victoria wants to reclaim the CEO position. Nick and Victoria deny this accusation, but Victor refuses to believe them. He is disappointed that his own children are trying to backstab him and tells them to leave his office immediately.
