Jack’s tickled pink that Traci’s home. She’s meeting Amy for dinner – which leads to a discussion about Cane. As the twins Godmother, Traci was once very close to Cane. Diane nods in agreement when Jack opines that Cane’s very different from the man she knew.
Why am I out?! Billy’s on the train (but off the rails) first lashing out at Phyllis, then Mike (Why is Victor’s ‘henchman’ here!?) Cane warns Billy not to let Sally slip away over a business deal. This is more than a business deal! I’ve got nothing left. You owe me, BROTHER!
Running into Daniel at CL’s (while Lucy’s babysitting Aria) Tessa’s surprised to hear that Mariah reached out to him; to discuss ‘you/us’.
Raving about her therapist, Traci’s doing well. She has no ill will towards Cane (who wanted more than friendship years ago) Diane tells Traci the latest; Billy wants to reclaim Chancellor, with Cane’s help. Jack tried to talk some sense into him but it didn’t go well.
You’re so pissed off you can’t see straight, Cane needs someone level-headed. Level-headed!? With Phyllis!? Billy IS pissed off, with good reason. Go home and make things right with Sally, Cane doesn’t want him to make the same mistake he did with Lily. I know a whole helluva lot more about you, Billy snarls at Cane – you won’t like what comes next.
Daniel relays his encounter with Mariah. She knows we spend a lot of time together and have become close. She asked me to look after you and Aria. Tessa’s stunned to hear that it sounded (to Daniel) like Mariah wasn’t coming back.
Mariah said she’s leaving for good? Tessa’s devastated. Not exactly but it sounded like a possibility (to Daniel) Did you ever find out what she’s hiding from you? She tried to kill someone, Tessa confides, then asks Daniel if he thinks it’s true.
This needs to be taken care of, Cane orders Mike to put a stop to Billy. He needs to be contained. Make it go away. OK, Mike leaves without getting much ‘clarity’. Cutting Billy loose was the right thing to do, Phyllis comments. Cane wants to know why there’s still a ‘rift’ between her and Mike.
What happened to Abbott Communications? Traci’s alarmed to hear that Billy bailed on Abbott Communications (and his financial arrangement with Jack) He wants Chancellor and is on the verge of making a mistake that could send him to prison.
Seconds after Billy orders a double Scotch, Mike arrives at Society – but doesn’t seem to know what to do.
Traci’s shocked to hear that Billy wouldn’t listen to Jack, Vikki or Sally. He’s on his own and headed for a crash, Jack just knows it.
Mike’s just there for a drink – we barely talk anymore I miss you. Lauren must be thrilled with your new gig, Billy fumes – why am I out and you’re in? Vowing to blow up Cane’s plan, Billy snarls – go back to your boss and tell him he messed with the wrong person. What comes next is what happens when you undermine me one too many times.
