Michael asks Victor for an update on Noah.

Victor says Noah might have been run off the road, and there aren’t any suspects yet. He wants Michael to look into it for him.

Michael is a little disappointed. When he heard about Noah, he was sad that something like this could be happening to the Newmans, and he hoped that Victor wanted to talk to him as a friend, but he’s talking to him like a lackey!

Victor sighs. He’s never considered Michael a lackey. Is he forgetting that he paid Michael very well over the years? He holds Michael in high esteem! He’s asking a favor for his grandson. There’s something off about the detective who’s looking into Noah’s accident. He wants Michael to look into him, as well as looking into Sienna Bacall.

Michael says he quit Victor for his mental health, so Victor will have to forgive him if he doesn’t jump when he snaps his fingers.

Victor tells him to do it for Noah.

Michael says he’ll find out everything he can for Noah’s sake, but he has no intention of being pulled back into his old job of being Victor’s attorney and fixer.

Victor figures he’s overthinking things.

Michael asks if it’s true that Victor has the AI in his possession.

Victor nods. He does!

Michael isn’t happy about that… He assumes the first thing that Victor will do is to go after Jack Abbott.

Victor says of course he’s going after Jack; he can’t forget the night that Jack almost killed Nikki in the hotel room! He hates Jack, and he’s going to pay for it!

Michael warns him that it could all blow up in Victor’s face.

Victor shrugs. He doesn’t mind, and Michael can’t talk him out of it! Will he help him, or not?

Michael says he has reservations about working for Victor, but he’ll look into Noah’s situation and Sienna Bacall.

Victor tells him not to wait too long, he’s ready to make his move, and he doesn’t want the Abbotts to shore up their defenses before he strikes! He leaves the club and heads home.
