After a production meeting, Hilary comments that Vikki was angrier at her than Hawkman. They were insulting each other’s performance in bed – and that BnS’s not doing well, Mariah wonders how Hilary expected Vikki to react. You’ll get some fallout over this, she warns. Hilary can handle it then leaves Devon to whisk Mariah off to Underground ~kiss~

Billy’s brought Phyllis to the club to celebrate her; I missed you while you were gone. They then discuss Jack’s failed attempt to take BnS down. Billy can handle his brother but doesn’t want Phyllis caught in the crosshairs.

Nikki stops by Jack’s office to update that Victor kicked Nick out of the tackhouse and Vikki’s furious over the Hilary Hour – how can you be that woman’s friend? Jack sees a side of Hilary he admires. He could ask Nikki what she sees in Victor. Are you with me to stick it to him? Are YOU? Nikki repeats the question.

Taking a break from moving boxes, Abby admits that she wasn’t always close to Victor but she’s proud to be his daughter. You’re talented, smart, beautiful – even with sauce on your face, Zack gives her a kiss. I think you’re amazing too, Abby kisses him back.

Chelsea looks conflicted as Nick hugs her from behind.



Jack’s so much happier with Nikki in his life – he has no hidden agenda that involves Victor. Nikki doesn’t either – she wants to be in Jack’s life ~kiss~

Cane hopes Vikki’s not mad that he text her a heads up about The Hilary Hour. She thanks Cane for saving her from making a huge mistake. What exactly did I do? he asks. Vikki saw his name and number written down in Ben’s suite. Cane’s just looking for a job. Vikki might have lost her company if she hadn’t seen that note. You’re still fired, she snarls. Without further word, Cane leaves.

On the rooftop, Hilary watches Jordan and Lily clinks glasses – cheers.

At the club, Billy knows Jack won’t stop until BnS is ut of business. Phyllis’ loyalty will always be o Billy. OK – now it’s Billy’s time to hurt Jack.

Next: Faith’s coming home, Nick announces. Yes, here unless there’s a problem with that, he tells a surprised Chelsea.
