When Daniel arrives at CL’s, Diane will leave Phyllis to put her ‘positive spin’ on their trip. Another guitar lesson? Phyllis pounces on Tessa’s offer to postpone so mother and son can catch up. Let’s go somewhere we can’t be spied on, Phyllis leads him out the patio exit (where Diane’s sitting)
At Society, Daniel’s stunned to hear that Dumas is really Cane Ashby. How is him bringing his ’empire’ to GC good news? I’m the one who’s going to help him do it, Phyllis announces.
Tessa gets a call that two servers have called in sick. She’s picking up the bag she knocked over when Diane comes over to lend a hand.
You can write your own ticket, when you’re ready, Phyllis makes an offer Daniel doesn’t think is hers to make. She doesn’t care how Cane earned his money, we hit it off – everyone but me and Billy were butting heads with him. Please tell me Billy’s not part of this, Daniel sighs.
Jack thought Billy would be happy not to have an extra guard rail (the ‘care and support’ he’s provided all these years) Billy thinks it best if they separate family and business; he’s grateful Jack wrote him a blank check but we see the world differently. Maybe you don’t see the big picture Cane’s putting together, Jack warns. He’s willing to bet on me so I’m willing to take the chance, Billy explains.
Having forgotten to bring Aria’s toys, Tessa knows she’ll throw a fit when she wakes up. As luck would have it, Diane has some crayons in her purse. We all struggle but can only do the best we can.
Phyllis doubts Billy will play a big part in Cane’s power grab – he’s using Billy. She can’t say much but Cane respects her brain. Daniel’s suspicious – use caution. Maybe it’s time to throw caution into the wind, Billy appears to say.
Joining Diane on the patio, Jack updates that Billy is 100% ready to throw in with Cane. He’s more enamoured with his one-time brother than his real one. Diane reminds that Jack was ready to throw in with Cane to take Victor down. He admits he’d do a deal with the devil to accomplish that.
Look, Mommy drew a picture of us, Tessa shows Aria. This is your other Mommy, she holds up another piece of paper. Sometimes, Mommies get cranky when they get boo boos but we love you more than anything in the world.
Jack just wants to protect Kyle; cane buying me out will put Billy in a vulnerable position but he won’t listen to me. If he aligns himself with Cane, there may be no turning back, he tells Diane.
Knowing he’s ‘perpetually underestimated’, Billy didn’t see it coming that Dumas was Cane. Victor pretends he did. The power dynamic in this town is about to change, Phyllis claims. It certainly is, Billy grins.
Next Week: Kyle and Claire drop by Adam’s office unannounced to ‘make a deal’ … Are you aware that Cane’s in town? Victor asks. Yes, Lily and Devon were just talking about that; she plans to avoid him at all cost. Victor doesn’t think that’s a good idea… Someone else is joining us, Cane tells Phyllis (in his suite at the club) Must be a heavy hitter if you’re letting them into your world, she doesn’t look thrilled when Cane opens the door for Billy. Who’s ready to make some waves? he asks.
