Victor intends to torture Jordan in much the same way she tormented Nicki.
Shut the dungeon door, turn off the lights, no food or water. Return in 48 hours and see how amenable Jordan is to talk about where Claire is located. Get the information, close the door, turn off the lights and see if what she told you was a lie.
It will be a lie. Return in 24 hours, demand the truth, she tells another lie. To just keep her alive, throw in a handful of shelled peanuts and an 8oz paper cup of water. Close the doors and shut off the lights, and search again.
Return in 36 hours … afraid of the voices in her head, as the hunger and thirst knaw at her guts, terrified of being left in the dark again and she spouts more lies — Another handful of peanuts and cup of water drugged with barbiturates (A prudential dose of phenobarbital should work), and Jordan passes out in the darkened cell, mumbling invectives at Victor.
Strap her to a gurney blindfolded and proceed to use IV drugs to elicit more lies contaminated by fantasy, and gibberish. Continue with the isolation techniques and drugging, and she might tell the truth in some garbled statement while her mind is being snapped like a dried twig.
Victor and his security sort out the drugged lies from the truth, determining a location where Claire is being held, where they find Cole leaving food and water in Claire’s holding cell. He admits he’s been working with Jordan from the very beginning as revenge for Eve Howard’s death. Asked why he would torture his own daughter, Cole laughs and says Claire was never his child, just a random infant stolen by Jordan 20+ years ago.
My scenario would end this stupidity by May 7th, with plenty of time for Summer and Phyllis to make their case against Claire a hundred times, Victoria to snatch her head bald in worry, Harrison be cured of his Witch Anxiety at Sharon’s Crimson Lights Therapy Center, Nick chew his fingernails to the quick in anticipation making Jordan/Claire pay, Kyle to fall idiotically in boink with Fantasy Claire, Nicki enter a rehab … From my keyboard to Goddess Kali’s ear.
