No need to leave on my account, Phyllis mocks Sally for playing the victim – I didn’t threaten you. Wishing her and Daniel luck in finding what they’re looking for, Sally rejoins Billy at the bar. Bye guys! Phyllis chirps after sneaking his phone into her purse.
Phyllis checks to make sure that the coast is clear before sitting on a park bench to guess Billy’s password (Delia’s birthday) She’s in.
Leaving Society, Billy’s more concerned about Victor and Adam than Phyllis. Sally isn’t afraid of a little mud-slinging. I’m ready ~kiss~
Having joined Chelsea, Adam tells her that Victor’s plan to go after Billy has been put on hold. Now, let the celebration begin (though neither appears to be in a celebratory mood)
Not denying that he wants to impress Lily, Damian holds off on the handshake – he wants to know his job description and compensation. Assured that he’ll be happy with both, Damian agrees to be her double agent – consider me yours. Now shaking hands, they smile and gaze into one another’s eyes.
Scrolling past Sally’s ‘boring’ texts and a group thread with Johnny and Katie, Phyllis finds something more interesting. There you are – not so hidden now, Mr Dumas. Taking out her phone, Phyllis types notes on whatever she’s reading on Billy’s.
Every second counts, Lily wants to meet tomorrow with Devon and Nate to hash out the details. When this is over, you’ll be an important part of Winters – the company isn’t just about us – it’s about him (she looks up at the portrait of Neil on the wall) Damian raises a glass to his new favourite person (Neil) Lily doesn’t want him to do it to impress her – do it to protect what this family has built. Admitting that Nate has concerns about the plan, Lily wants Damian to reassure his brother that he’s doing this for the right reasons.
Chelsea and Adam are about to kiss across the table when Victor appears with a drink for all of them – to welcome her to the family. Will you announce your engagement soon? Family and work are both based on loyalty and trust, he blathers on. And integrity, Chelsea adds. Of course, Victor leaves them to enjoy the rest of their evening. Please tell me I’m not making a deal with the devil, she frets.
Seconds before Billy returns to Society to look for his phone, Phyllis puts it on a chair and sprints to the bathroom to watch.
Damian hopes his office will be close to Lily’s (so he can pass her sensitive information discreetly) You won’t regret coming onboard, she promises. The mission is dangerous. Yes, you’ll be lucky to survive. I’ll protect you, Lily jokes as they clink glasses.
What’s it like to have Victor Newman crash your party? Adam tells Chelsea to trust him to handle his father – Newman Media is ours to run. It’ll be everything you ever dreamed of, Chelsea promises with a kiss.
Just the man I wanted to talk to, Phyllis runs into Victor as she comes through the revolving door. Care to join me for a drink? Why would I do that? Victor asks inches from her face. Phyllis has a proposition to run by him. Really, he smirks.
