Somewhere in Manhattan, Nico sits in the back of the company car, crying over what she's just done. She's a mess and she tries to pull herself together as the driver looks at her in the rearview mirror. Nico touches up her lipstick and ignores him and tries to calm herself. On a side note, did the car WAIT for her at Kirby's house while she banged him? Because talk about misuse of a company car...
Over at Wendy and Shane's, she's checking her cell phone, probably to see if Shane's called, but she needn't bother -- he's walking in the front door. They give each other some shamefaced "heys" and he immediately says that he hates that he said those awful things to her. She says she does too and moves toward him, but he holds up his hand and tells her to stop. He's been walking around for hours trying to figure this thing out. He says that when he's with her and the kids, he doesn't feel like nothing; but the second he walks out the door, that all changes. He tells her that this isn't her problem, it's his. Her star's going to keep rising and rising and he's going to be stuck at the house looking for band-aids and cleaning up cat puke. He claims he's just going to have to get used to it, but it gets harder every day. She kisses him and says they'll figure it out, but he doesn't seem so sure. The look on her face as she hugs him suggests that she's not so sure either.
Fake Tokyo. Victory is pacing in her IKEA hotel room when her phone rings. It's Bennett, telling her that he's potentially losing $20,000 by calling her himself. She laughs through her tears and he asks if she's crying and she launches into this rather funny little speech wherein she explains that she's a cryer; she cries. All the time. She cries and then she goes back to work. And people think she's funny and cool and optimistic and yet she's over here, just...crying. "It went well, huh?" Bennett asks. Victory sobs that she's too close to her product and she starts seriously losing it and Bennet seems at a total loss as to how to handle this, which is funny in and of itself. "I just wanna be home already!" she whimpers, falling down on the bed. Bennett smirks and tells her that a man named Hichiro will be there in ten minutes and she should be ready.
