Jill’s explained over and over that she sold the company to Victor because that’s who Katherine originally wanted it to go to.`She invested in Abbott Communications – I was your secret benefactor. He already knew and appreciates the gesture – but maybe you were throwing me a bone because you don’t think it Can hack it anywhere else.
Kyle knows how hard Patty’s return is on his Aunt. Traci dreams about killing Parry but I never go through with it – does that make me a coward? No – you could never be like her. Colleen was so special, Traci weeps. Kyle and Harrison found a box of Colleen’s old things – some tapes of her singing. Traci weeps mor – I miss her so much.
Diane feels a real connection with Markham. Do you feel it too, or is it one-sided? This can’t be Stockholm Syndrome, Markham points out that he’s not Diane’s captor – he’s her healer.
Lily knows that Billy’s angry at the world – and himself. Cane tells her that Sally’s pregnant; they’re getting married. He wishes Billy would figure out his life and stop making the same mistakes.
Jill funded Abbott Communications because she believed in Billy. It’s run by Sally and Audra now, he informs. Yes, because you walked away to go after Chancellor. Jill will sit here and argue with Billy to her last breath. That’s what he’s worried about.
Since Markham invited Kyle to bring the cops, he might have moved Diane or have her in a secluded room in his big house. That so-called doctor is at least as dangerous as Patty, Traci assures Kyle.
Diane’s developing an attachment to her therapist. It’s common, Markham barely reacts. Diane flirts some more – she’s really looking forward to their next session.
We could just talk as mother and son, Jill suggests – no anger or insults. Is that an option?
Billy still wants Chancellor, Cane suggests they offer him a job. He’s got talent. Lily doesn’t like the idea. He needs this, Cane persists – can we bring Billy onboard.
Kyle has faith in his Dad. If Mom’s there, he WILL bring her home.
Off to take a shower, Diane hopes she didn’t make Markham uncomfortable. Can we have dinner together? Can I cook for you? He’d like that very much.
Back at the house, Patty makes a beeline for the booze and wonders where Jack is – did you go to rescue your beloved Diane? She talks to a framed photo of Jack and Diane. This is MY home – Jack is MY man. You’re never going to see him again, she puts the photo in a drawer.
