Victoria meets with Lee at a Manhattan dive bar to pay him for the beatdown he arranged for her son. Emily covertly snaps pictures of the transaction. She then follows Lee out the door. Moments later, Victoria engages in an unexpected rendezvous with another patron at the bar. His name is Dominik Wright. He’s a man from her past—from a time when she was known as Vicky Harper.

The two past lovers feed a rekindled passion at Dominik’s loft which is filled with his unfinished artwork. His most impressive painting is that of a young Victoria. There’s something completely raw about the passion these two share. Victoria must eventually leave Dominik, though it’s obvious she desperately wants to stay. That’s probably why she returns later after another war of words with Conrad.
