After shots, Billy asks Natalie about Travis biting off more than he can chew with Victor – isn’t he the golden boy? He was until he blew it, Natalie talks about the leaks. I taught him a lesson. Yes, she’s the one who stabbed him in the back (and shouldn’t have had that last shot) Coerced to continue, Natalie relays Travis investigating Victor’s family – it was a test. Billy’s confused – doesn’t Victor want to find out who the mole is? Maybe he already knew. You did good – no more shots, Billy hustles Natalie out to a cab.
Jack can handle it tonight – once he has confirmation, he’ll take the info to GC Buzz directly (anonymously) Phyllis is left to flashback to telling Jack ‘we’ll bring Victor down together’.
Chloe and Chelsea continue to discuss Nick’s reaction. He worries Dylan will take off with the baby – like he did with Connor. Go be with Nick, Chloe encourages. You’re not an ‘outsider’ – you’re Sharon’s boss and Nick’s friend. He might listen to you because you have no personal stake in this. Agreeing, Chelsea exits.
As Dylan and Nick continue to argue over Sully/Christian. Faith runs down – isn’t the monitor on? Sully’s crying. He needs someone.
Faith claims that Sully just needs to be held. Maybe her Dad should do it (assuming he’s there because he’s sad about Christian) Uh yeah, Nick has been thinking a lot about Christian. Then maybe seeing Sully will help, Faith takes Nick upstairs.
At Jabot, Billy sees Phyllis and flashes back to warning her and Jack that Victor will retaliate (but it’s Phyllis he’s worried about) How’d you get up here? Phyllis wonders where the guard is – you reek of alcohol. Billy’s only there to warn that Victor’s on to her and Jack – he’s setting you up.
Faith leaves Nick to hold Sully a bit longer. She hopes her Dad feels better tomorrow. He hopes so too. Hi Christian, it’s me, your real Daddy, Nick tears up – I’ll always be here for you.
Downstairs, Sharon wonders what’s taking Nick so long. Hopefully, he’ll see reason. Dylan doubts that – he’ll take our son – HIS son. Chelsea arrives to ask if everything’s OK. No – it’s not. Nick comes down with his son to announce ‘we’re leaving’.
Billy tells Phyllis what he learned from Natalie – if you’re planning round 2, it’s about to blow up in your face. Phyllis sees a bigger issue – Billy’s motivation. Jack disowned you. I shut you down hard. Now you want to help me? Phyllis is suspicious.
Seconds after Jack enters a building through an alleyway, a guard comes snooping around. Jack peers out after he leaves.
Dylan wonders what Faith will think when she wakes up and Sully’s gone. When is the right time for him to go? Nick asks – Sharon shouldn’t have lied. It’s too late for her’sorry’. Chelsea also tries to get Nick to wait (is his place set up for a baby?) I’m all Christian has now, his Mother’s gone. I’m taking him with me! Nick vows.
Is it that hard for Phyllis to believe that Billy doesn’t want to see her get hurt. As for Jack? Billy doesn’t return the hatred – I don’t want to see him get hurt either. What happens next is up to Phyllis (who suddenly has somewhere to be)
