We only slept together once, Billy insists Phyllis tell Jack tonight. Tell him we didn’t mean for it to happen. We have to come clean. Phyllis doubts Jack will forgive her – she lost him once because she cheated. Billy knows it’s HIM Jack won’t forget.
Neville thinks Ashley’s out of her beautiful mind. I’M the one being blackmailed by Hilary. YOU shouldn’t pay the price for that. Ashley’s counting on the Abbott name and has a great attorney on retainer. Neville must keep his license and work on the drug. If you want to repay me, make the trial a success. Get to work, lives are at stake.
Cane has to make a call regarding a Fenmore’s deal. But it can wait (so he listen to Lily whine that they can’t stop Hilary)
Hilary confides in Jack – she may slip back into a coma or die. Fainting and hand tremors indicate she’s getting worse. Two other patients are relapsing. Ashley’s fine. No, she hasn’t told Devon (and doesn’t want Jack to either)
This is on me, not you, Billy says. Phyllis will tell Jack – alone. We both need to own this, Billy persists. Phyllis won’t budge – don’t fight me on this. I do this alone. No matter how angry he gets, remember he loves you, Billy sends her off.
Guilt is eating away at Sharon. The lie gets harder and harder. She can’t go on like this. Mariah suggests she talk to a psychiatrist. No, a psychiatrist started all this, Sharon argues. On cue, Dylan arrives to wonder what they’re talking about. Sage, Mariah answers quickly.
Sharon and I were talking about how much Sage is missed at Chelsea 2.0. She’s doing two jobs so was thinking I could do it. Yes, Sharon was saying she can’t talk to anyone else but Mariah. Dylan says it’s never the right time to move on.
Bumping into Bethany, Phyllis learns that she’s using her money on a suite at the club. The fun’s over – Phyllis will tell Jack tonight.
Drinking at home, Billy flashes back to his night with Phyllis, and her saying it’s over.
When Ashley comes looking for Hilary, Lily informs that she just missed her pretending to faint. Jack doesn’t believe she’s making a play for him. Ashley thinks Hilary capable of anything; where’s Jack right now? Upstairs tending to ‘poor’ Hilary, Lily tattles (sending Ashley marches off)
Jack won’t tell Devon, but Hilary should. As he’s about to leave, Ashley appears at the door. And after Jack leaves, Ashley updates that Neville’s off the hook. He didn’t expose you to Dylan. What you should be wondering is what *I* said to Dylan.
No, Ashley didn’t tell Dylan that Hilary bribed the lab tech, but she wanted to. She knows Hilary’s blackmailing Neville. He didn’t expose the kidnapper or turn on you. Ashley took the blame – and now you owe me.
Billy’s not happy when Bethany shows up at his place. She knows Phyllis is going to come clean to Jack tonight and thinks it a good thing. But why not continue to have fun together? OK, Billy seems to agree as he edges closer – but every time I pull up your dress (like this) I’ll be thinking of Phyllis.
On the rooftop deck, Phyllis takes some liquid courage and fantasizes about Jack reacting badly to the news that she slept with his brother. I’ll kill that sonofabitch!
