Nikki Learns Another Shocking Secret About Victor

After a warning from Luca (Miles Gaston Villanueva) that he was being played about PassKey, Victor paid Natalie a visit and demanded progress, hinting that if she double-crossed him she would suffer a fate far worse than being fired.

However, she must now explain to Billy and Phyllis what prompted her to appear to sell them out by giving Victor the thing they wanted to steal away from him, and Billy isn't going to be happy when he learns that his chance to outsmart his father-in-law has once again been taken away from him.
