Jack tells Kyle that he was nearly attacked by three Dobermans. Kyle reports that Markham cancelled their meeting. Both worry that Diane’s now dealing with two psychopaths.
Cane’s not threatened by Billy – he can handle him. His role at Chancellor must be something substantial. Lily suspects Cane wants to smooth things over between Jill, Billy and himself.
Sally’s still miffed about Billy’s big mouth but encourages him to talk to his mother – she loves you and wants you to love her back.
Jack’s got his PI staking out Markham’s house and doesn’t want Kyle to lie to the police. Both have a horrible feeling but we need a new plan.
Promising Markham that he won’t be disappointed in the meal she’s prepared, Diane pours them a drink.
When Lily finally agrees that Cane can hire Billy, he calls to summon him to CL’s; bring Sally. Let’s go find out what Cane wants, they exit.
Why would Markham risk his reputation? Jack and Kyle wonder. Assuming Diane’s working on a plan of her own, Jack has an idea (using Patty to smoke Markham out)
Thanking Laurence for his hospitality, Diane’s given permission to have wine with dinner. When he excuses himself, she sneaks some sleeping pills from the jacket he leaves behind.
Billy and Sally join Lily and Cane. He’s offered a ‘damn good job offer’ as head of research and development. You interested?
Returning with a bottle of wine, Markham continues to flirt with Diane. She insists he allow her to make him dinner. He looks forward to her culinary magic.
Jack comes home to Patty’s putrid perfume and a note asking him to join her in the hot tub – if he dares. Instead, he digs her phone out of her purse.
Yes, it’s Cane’s idea. Yes, Lily signed off on it, Yes, she has reservations. No, Cane’s not making the offer out of guilt. Yes, he might be trying to prove something to Lily and Jill (but knows he and Billy can do great things together)
Guessing the password ‘kitty’, Jack sends a message to ‘the good doctor’. Need help – meet in our usual spot.
