In the park, Nick questions Phyllis and Cane looking thick as thieves at Society last night – are you coming after our companies or not?
When Mike drops by Victor wants to know whether he’ll spy on Cane. Mikes phone rings – Cane must want to know where I stand too. You better decide which side you’re on, Victor suggests.
On his train, Cane leaves a message for Mike, wanting to know if he’s coming to work for him. There’s much to do.
Mike sits down uninvited to say that he’s still weighing his options – Cane’s offer is generous and he values my skills (unlike Victor)
Sally finds Billy passed out on the couch. I was dreaming, he opens his eyes. You always are, she sighs.
Mike’s willing to infiltrate Cane’s world but that doesn’t mean he’s working for Victor. He’ll work with Victor to get rid of the threat Cane poses. Mike misses their friendship. Yeah, yeah, we’ll see, Victor waves him off.
Nick was hoping Phyllis was done with Cane. You asked me to keep you in the loop, Phyllis tried to talk him out of using the AI.
Sally’s more worried than angry – she’s done some thinking; I won’t let Cane ruin your life. He’s leading you off a cliff. Isn’t Abbott Communications (and each other) enough?
Billy wishes Sally could be more flexible. You aren’t seeing the big picture. His focus is Chancellor. Jack’s pulled funding; Abbott Communications is dead. Cane and I want the same thing – to take down Victor Newman.
Dropping by Adam’s office, Victor’s too preoccupied with Cane’s ‘powerful weapon’ to go to Connor’s soccer game.
Cane’s more interested in his family than AI right now, Phyllis insists. He’s devastated. Yes, Cane trusts me. You don’t, she told Nick she’d keep him in the loop – how can I convince you? Nick can’t help feeling like HE’S the one being played.
Mike’s next stop is the train. He’s decided to work with Cane but has a few conditions.
Mike will need discretion – he doesn’t want anyone to know about their collusion (since he might have to break some rules) Is it Lauren or Victor you want to keep in the dark? Cane wonders. Mike’s happy when Cane offers to double his rate.
