RECAP:
The kiss Dani had with Nico has led to a wonderful night together, but the cocoon of romance is shattered when they arrive at the V3 office and the mysterious Alex Careles is there. Alex is not only a woman but also Nico’s wife. Dani is floored. This is not like the other secrets Nico has been keeping from her. Nico explains that Alex was once a colleague whom he married to keep in the country and for their mutual benefit so they couldn’t testify against one another. At times it was a romantic relationship but not anymore. Alex is leaving the country that night and has already handed Nico divorce papers. More confused than ever, Dani tells Nico she can’t have a relationship with someone she will really never know. Can Nico finally come clean and reveal his past to Dani.
TK is trying everything he can-legal, of course-to heal himself before the Bobcats’ big playoff game with the Hawks. He pleads with Coach Purnell to let him play, but Coach is reluctant to put TK in for one game and potentially ruin his future. Sheera also does not want TK to risk his career but during their conversation, the truth comes out: she thinks he should’ve gone through with the treatment. If no one would ever have known that he used what has been proven to be an illegal gene hormone illegally imported from China that is almost impossible to detect, then why wouldn’t he use it?, she asks. With the full force of her ambition and the falseness of her love laid bare, TK ends the relationship. He’ll face his fate alone but with a clear conscience.
With Paloma’s help, Dani is able to track down Hutch, who like Crabchek, has changed his name. Hutch seems to be the smoking gun Dani and Nico have been looking for to implicate Connor in the V3 clinic doping scandal. But before Nico arranges Hutch to meet with the FBI, she wants to confront Connor herself. But she’s going to have to act fast. Connor has just named Abby Bruce as Partner and CFO of V3 and is about to leave for Rio for three months, coincidentally right after the V3 clinic is raided by the FBI.
What justice will Dani seek?
