Nick is at the Brady Pub hanging out with his colleagues and encounters Jett and Chelsea. He introduces himself to Jett. Chelsea introduces Nick as her boyfriend. “So you’re the geek, huh?” remarks Jett. Nick is startled that Jett would make this comment since he doesn’t even know Nick. Jett quickly apologizes for his slip of the tongue. He recalls that he knew guys like Nick in the Air Force Academy. Nick then joins them upon Jett’s invitation, while Chelsea appears uncomfortable. Nick questions how Jett got his name. Jett reveals that he was named after a character in a movie entitled, Giant. Chelsea then makes a joke about Nick’s two favorite movies, Shane and Patton. Nick doesn’t find this so funny. The two men briefly discuss movies before Nick’s phone rings. Nick goes outside to answer it and encounters Maggie, who informs him that she got a call from the bank stating that his credit card was over the limit. Nick states that’s impossible since he hasn’t used it, then realizes that Willow is the culprit. Nick rushes off, assuring Maggie that he’ll take care of it.
Nick later meets Willow at the police station. She blabs about her lawyer, but an angry Nick interrupts her and inquires about his maxed out credit cards. She casually replies that she bought a few electronic items she refers to as “necessities.” He demands his card back, which she complies to. He yanks it out of her hand, then accuses her of sucking everyone dry who tries to help her. He informs her that he’s calling the bank tomorrow and having her so-called necessities repossessed. In addition, he also intends to cancel the lease on the apartment. She threatens to have the hairbrush mystery investigated if that’s the case. He dares her to go ahead since he’s done being blackmailed. “No more money, no more help, no more apartment,” he affirms. She wonders what she’s supposed to do now. He could care less. She vows to make him help her, whether he likes it or not.
Back at the Pub, Chelsea questions Jett about Jeremy and their shuttle business. Jett reveals that he met Jeremy in the Air Force, and he and Jett are both pilots. Chelsea notes that Jett seems a lot nicer than his “boot camp buddy.” She can’t see Jeremy and herself getting along. “That’s because you both spark off before a match is even struck,” notes Jett. He is convinced that their business will be up and running by next week, assuming Max gets the loan. He tries to persuade Chelsea to come back on board and marvels how Vegas is like no other place in the world. Chelsea is tempted but believes it sounds too good to be true. He states that the high rollers know how to take care of the ladies. “Especially the hot ones,” he insinuates. “You think I’m hot?” she smiles. He refers to her as an “11 and then some” on a scale of 1 to 10. She coyly wonders if he’s hitting on her and advises him not to waste his charm, since she has a boyfriend. He then shows her a picture of his fiancé, which prompts Chelsea to want to crawl under a rock. He admits he likes Chelsea and thinks she’s hot. She finally agrees to sign on board as a flight attendant for his airline.
Nick comes back soon afterwards and Chelsea briefs him on Jeremy and Jett’s plan. He doesn’t appear so enthusiastic about the prospect and asks to speak to her in private. Jett volunteers to step outside. Nick and Chelsea argue about her new “job.” She points out that Jett’s gig is all in the family, since Jett’s partner is Jeremy Horton, Nick’s cousin. Chelsea assumes he’s jealous and rehashes how he let Willow stay overnight with him. He states it will never happen again, since he just came from the police station and told Willow that her free ride was over. Chelsea is delighted that he stood up to Willow and rewards him with a kiss. Maggie interrupts him and breaks the news that the lock on his bedroom window was broken and his room was completely trashed. Nick asks if Uncle Mickey is OK. Maggie says he took a sleeping pill and didn’t hear a thing. She insists that Nick tell him everything that’s going on with him.
While EJ waits for Tony in the alleyway, he recalls Sami begging him to help her and her baby. EJ inquires what Tony’s “Plan B” is for Samantha. Tony is annoyed that EJ called him away from a perfectly roasted pheasant and fancy bottle of wine to discuss that “tramp.” EJ warns him to call of his hit against Sami, otherwise he’ll kill Tony. Tony of course gives a wicked smile in response to this. EJ refers to his threat as a promise and queries who Tony got to pump the carbon monoxide into the car. “Was it Bart? Dr. Rolf?” he wonders. Tony sarcastically inquires if EJ beloved Samantha is dead. EJ replies that Tony already knows the answer to that one, since Tony would’ve taken her body and harvested the stem cells. EJ then requests a truce. Tony chastises EJ for turning his back on the family for “someone as worthless and nobody as Samantha Roberts.” He also refers to her a s a “colossal waste.” EJ wonders why Tony has such a stake in her life if she’s a waste. Tony ridicules EJ as he wonders what it is about Sami that brings EJ to his knees. He reminds EJ that he never had the desire to procreate before. EJ affirms this, but refuses to sacrifice one life in order to save another. Tony is disgusted that Sami has turned EJ into a lovesick puppy. “You are the thorn in her side, the bane of her existence,” scoffs Tony. “That would be you,” EJ counters. Tony continues to talk trash about Sami and states that Sami will never be his. EJ turns the tables on his brother by mentioning the former object of his affections Kristen Blake, who turned Tony into a “bitter solace creature who lives to do nothing but destroy and hate.” He refers to Tony as “one of a kind,” which Tony wickedly agrees with. Tony mocks EJ’s speech. EJ seemingly strikes a nerve when he derides Tony about his inability to father a child. Tony laughs it off and suggests EJ should’ve been a stand-up comic. EJ continues to poke fun at Tony for hanging around with a dying man along with hired thugs to keep him company. “I have everything that you’ve ever wanted!” he sneers.
