This week, I am about 98% certain that Victory's billionaire boyfriend Joe is secretly funding her new 'Investor'. It occurred to me while I watched her ask her investor guy if she could sign a two year lease in a pricey store... and he said make it happen, without asking any other questions.
Also, Nico kinda back stabbed Wendy by spilling to her boss that they might be able to acquire the secret unpublished prequel to Harry Potter (which Wendy told her in secret) and Nico told in order to outshine her co-worker who keeps trampling all over her. While she was talking, http://www.bonfiremagazine.com/ flashed across the bottom of the screen... woah! it's an actual magazine! Someone is taking the time to write articles and do a layout- how cool! (They should hire me!!!) It's also an ad for NBC, but it's ok....
Joe takes Victory to an art exhibit and she starts asking him questions about her investor, wondering aloud who would just throw 'money like that around' completely oblivious to the fact that Joe is contemplating a $20,000,000 purchase- she even meets his 'rival' who says he'll buy the art, not Joe (the guy is bitter cuz Joe used to date his wife or something).... Victory is clueless- I am even more sure that Joe is the real shadow investor... anyway, she is talking about how hard it is to run the business from her house and he suggests she 'stay at his place' which she interprets as moving in...
Nico and Wendy fly on a private jet to Scotland to meet with J.K. Rowling regarding the unpublished prequel, and Nico is completely distracted- mostly because she knows that Kirby will be meeting her in her hotel room, and Wendy at first wasn't going on the trip but gets on the place last minute... to Nico's dismay.
Joe's assistant shows Victory around the house... he really went all out to move her in- he even gave her a completely new closet complete with the new clothes!!!)
However, he also gave her her own bedroom... cue the disappointed face.
Wendy is sitting in the hotel bar and KIRBY wanders in to order a drink... but they have never met before and don't know each other! They are both waiting for NICO! When she walks in the look on Wendy's face...
Wendy is outright rude to Kirby while he is just trying to be nice to her. I get it that she is upset that Nico is cheating, but she is a little bit too upset- making it personal somehow, like it reflects on her and her own marriage.
She and Nico get into it and fight and end up saying hurtful things...
Meanwhile, Victory is suspicious (FINALLY) of her magical investor and starts asking him to approve outrageous things, like funding a sheep farm so they can produce their own wool...
But later at the auction with Joe, she blurts out (while he is bidding $30,000,000 on a painting against his rival) that it must be his RIVAL who is funding her company!
Joe is kinda distracted by the bidding, but says that's impossible and of course she asks why and he tells her because he bought her company- and then he wins the painting for $50,000,000 and she gets and up and leaves angry. (Why? I'd be flattered by the show of faith! What is wrong with this girl?)
Back at the house she yells at him because she doesn't want the man she loves owning her. She is pissed, but he tries to explain to her and he actually believes in her company, wanted to protect her, likes taking small companies and making them big. She is so angry, and ungrateful- it's annoying me. She tells him they are done, and as a parting shot says 'Enjoy your fifty million dollar painting; like that's an insult somehow?
Wendy is seriously disturbed- she keeps putting of sex with her husband... and she doesn't really tell him why she and Nico are fighting, but kind of lets him know. I think Nico got it right- Wendy is mad because the romance and passion that Nico is feeling isn't in Wendy's marriage anymore and she just can't admit it. What she shot back at Nico about how she was glad Nico wasn't a mother because she'd be lousy at it was a lot worse though.
They run into each other on the street the next day, and kind of truce but not really.
Next week is the season finale- look out!!! The preview shows something bad happening to Nico's husband while she is with Kirby...
