I don't think Vicki (Betsy) slapped him, I'm pretty sure she didn't. She did read him the riot act [spoiler]concerning Maggie, but by this time Nicholas was in a rush to get everything done, since his master had given him only 24 hours. He did however manage to call up Tom Jennings to deal with her, or was this another time? He removed the stake from Tom and Tom went after Vicki, I think it was at this time but might have been while Alexandra was still playing her. It was at this time that Barnabas made him face daylight and he was destroyed. Now that was some scene![/spoiler]
