Sally accuses Billy of doing the same thing Adam did to her. Lying is lying. She almost left him because of his need for revenge. This man’s had his boot on my neck for a long time, Billy fires back. OK – I wish to God it was me – isn’t that enough for you? Sally’s frustrated – I always have to be the one to ….. To do what? Billy’s glad she doesn’t think she has a drinking problem. No, you have an obsession problem.
It will all be taken care of, Victor assures – Matt will get what’s coming to him and we won’t lose the company. Nikki frets – that program could destroy everything we’ve built.
Cane cares about Billy. Yeah, he feels guilty – he’s had a rough ride. Phyllis has no sympathy – are you kidding me right now? I was his only friend and he lied to me. He’ll be fine running Abbott Communications. He’s not your real brother. He’s hurting, Cane defends Billy. OK – help him – it’ll bite you in the ass, Phyllis warns.
Billy’s sorry but let’s not turn this into something it’s not. He apologizes for him ‘momentary lapse’. His feet are ‘on the ground’. Sally allows him to kiss her.
Adam reports that the AI program is ‘eating us alive’. Vikki informs that she’s started to transfer assets – she’s never seen anything like this. Your father has – you know exactly how this will end, Nikki frowns at Victor.
Cane assures Phyllis that she has nothing to worry about. He’ll let her know what he comes up with for Billy. Are you trying to distract me? she asks when he kisses her. Is it working? (yes)
Billy’s also managing to turn Sally’s frown upside down – but before he leads her upstairs, she asks him to please promise that he won’t obsess about payback. Billy’s only obsession is Sally ~kiss~
Victor won’t tell us the truth but Nikki might, Jack annoys Diane.
You know where this is going because it happened to Arabesque, Nikki reiterates. NE’s too big to be destroyed – end of story, Victor’s sure. Oh no, Vikki looks at her phone – one of our divisions is completely gone. This ends right now, Victor slams out.
Phyllis is eager to go see Victor – to tell him it’s over – we won. Cane agrees. You go shower – I’ll check on the progress. Instead, he calls Billy. There’s something I want to talk to you about – meet me in the morning.
Nikki tells Vikki that Jack brought Matt to the house – but Victor wouldn’t make the deal. The leverage is gone, Jack can rest easy, Adam reassures her. Nikki wishes the same could be said for them.
Diane will sleep well tonight. Cane and Phyllis won’t – they’ll be celebrating. Jack’s not so sure – the war’s never over with Victor; Phyllis and Cane might not know that.
Victor boards the train – my goodness. He’s not surprised to find Phyllis and Cane together. And it looks like Phyllis is dressed to go somewhere. What will it take to end this madness? he asks Cane.
