Billy knows exactly what he wants – for him and Sally to support one another, to celebrate every moment, to be happy and successful. He wants to end every night in her arms. We can do it, side by side. It’s done – Chancellor is mine, Billy adds – and Newman Media is yours; Happy Valentine’s Day.

Sienna can’t run from her problems. Noah sees hope – you’re not saying no. I’m not saying yes, Sienna isn’t keen on living somewhere that’s ‘freezing’. Say yes, Noah persists.

Adam and Chelsea discuss Connor starting to date – how would he react if he got his heart broken? It’ll make him stronger, Adam now asks what’s in the card Chelsea has for him.

Diane praises Jack’s brilliant idea to take Jabot offline. You saved the company for generations to come. And you were right by my side, Jack kisses her.

Sally wants to know the when and how. There was some back stabbing and a double cross, Billy explains that Cane’s out and Phyllis has control of the Newman empire. Sally’s NOT impressed – you did to Victor and Cane exactly what Victor and Jill did to YOU. ‘Payback’s a bitch’, Billy shrugs it off. Yeah, but now instead of one enemy, you have two, Sally points out.

Adam reads Chelsea’s ‘eloquent’ letter out loud – it’s beautiful. She just wrote what was in her heart. He pretends he doesn’t have anything for her then pulls an envelope out from under his plate.

Noah wants to eat burgers, then go pack up Sienna’s place. It’s Valentine’s Day – a perfect time to start a new beginning.

This is everything I was afraid of – you going dark, Sally fumes. There’s no victims here, Billy feels that Victor and Cane got what they deserve. It was Phyllis who screwed them over, not me. God, what do you want from me?! ‘Not this’, Sally’ exasperated. Billy can’t do this anymore – when did ambition become such a bad thing!?!

Audra has nothing to hide or be afraid of. Kyle doesn’t believe it, and neither does Claire. When he stands to leave, Audra gives him the eye – you keep coming back for more – you enjoyed what happened in Nice. She’s beginning to think that Kyle’s obsessed with (and wants) her. You will never have me, she gets in his face. Kyle kisses her passionately.






Jack and Diane dance in the living room ~kiss~

Chelsea reads Adam’s card out loud – you’re the calm to my chaos etc. etc. He too wrote what was in his heart. Holding hands across the table, neither take what they have for granted. Happy Valentine’s Day ~kiss~

Sienna asks Noah to dance with her. Surprised fellow patrons and a puzzled waiter watch. Whaddaya say? Noah asks again. Come with me? ~kiss~

Back at Society, Kyle ends the kiss to say ‘you’ll never have me but you wish you could’. Putting money on the bar, he tells the bartender ‘the lady will pay for her own drink’. Hmmm – Audra’s left to smile and look pleased with herself.

Billy shouts – yeah, I want it all, and so did you! I’ve always supported you; but the woman who supposedly loves me doesn’t support ME the same way. I can’t live like this!! he marches out of the room, leaving Sally in tears.

Next Week: I still don’t know what’s going to happen, Daniel tells his Dad. You think that when everything’s out in the open Mariah might be willing to let Tessa in?? Danny asks … Billy challenges Jack – Are you concerned about me? Or are you just pissed that I’M the Abbott who bested Victor!? …At CL’s, under the table, Nick fiddles with a little baggie of pills, jamming it in his pocket when Sharon appears with tea. What was that? What did you just hide from me? she asks.
