Leaving Society with takeout, Billy pauses to chat with Daniel and Lily. Leanna Love’s article was published today, he updates. Lily will have the PR team handle it. Billy comments that Daniel’s in good hands with Lily; she knows how to take care of people – it’s why she’s in the big chair.
In Tucker’s suite, Audra immediately spots the contract for sale of McCall – it could be very rewarding. Tucker boasts that he stole Victor’s pen. She understands why he’d want to leave GC. I can start over anywhere. He invites Audra to come with him – wanna be my right hand again? he strokes her hair.
Billy brings takeout to Chelsea’s – picnic in the park? Two meals in one day? Chelsea teases him. Hearing that Billy picked up on something between Lily and Daniel, she asks how he feels about that.
Jack and Ashley are still embroiled in a heated argument about Diane when Kyle comes home. He’s too determined to talk to Summer to be bothered with them. See the pain he’s in? Jack tells Ashley that if she can’t reign in her hatred for Diane, move out!
Audra has a senior executive position with room for growth – she’s learning from Vikki. GC’s grown on her. You’re problem is craving to be the center of other people’s lives, she tells Tucker that Ashley’s right – you haven’t changed. I knew that all along. Tucker’s sorry he invited her up.
Over drinks at Society, Daniel noticed that Lily avoided eye contact with Billy. You’ve listened to me whine about Heather, he offers to hear Lily out. She doesn’t wallow. Even with Cane, she was back on her feet in no time. Surviving cancer makes her only look forward. We’re different in that way.
Billy’s taken a page out of Chelsea’s book (she gets along with her exes) He’s glad if Lily’s moving on with Daniel. Chelsea’s impressed with his growth. You deserve happiness. You make me happy. He leans across the table to kiss her. Connor’s spending the night at the ranch, she adds that she’s feeling strong, emotionally, mentally – it’s been a long time since she’s been with someone. It’s like riding a bike, Billy gives her another kiss.
Lily has no regrets. She and Billy shared a beautiful moment. What she and Daniel have is organic – natural – we’ve known each other since we were teenagers – whatever’s meant to happen will happen. Very zen for a CEO, Daniel notes.
In Chelsea’s apartment, Billy asks her one more time whether she’s OK with this. She’s never felt so sure.
Tucker finishes his drink and signs/dates the paperwork.
Kyle knocks on the bedroom door – Summer? I know you can hear me. I won’t let you push me away. I want to make things easier for you. I don’t know how yet – but I’ll keep trying til something works. His latest idea is to not talk – together. I just want to hold you. Please, open the door.
Ashley’s sick of Jack trying to kick her out of her own home. Diane’s infected your attitude towards this family. Jack will never ban the woman he loves from this house – Diane WILL be here the second she’s out. Are you threatening me? Ashley suggests he find himself a little house right next to whatever prison Diane’s sent to. Then the board will remove you. Diane will have cost you everything that ever meant anything to you!
