Meeting at Society, Claire talks about Newman’s new publishing division in her father’s name and her grandmother recovering at the ranch. Holden’s big news? Cane offered him a job at Chancellor. Claire wishes she could be happy for him but feels it’d be a mistake.
No, Cane didn’t ‘overstep’. What’s bother Lily is Cane fixing things – you make life easier for me. You seem more unsettled than happy about that, he observes. That’s because she is.
You’re so hard-headed! Jill’s trying to extend an olive branch. No, she’s not been a ‘model mother’ – far from it. She wants to start with a clean slate – since she doesn’t know how much time she has. Billy looks concerned.
Traci calms Jack down – Kyle brought Diane home; she’s safe. Don’t think about Patty. When Traci goes to get a nurse, Jack’s left to flash back to Patty stabbing him.
Diane catches up to Patty and slams her against the wall. She’s throttling Patty as Kyle and the guard run towards the commotion.
Cane tried to destroy my grandpa’s business, Claire reminds. Victor used the same AI program to destroy Arabesque, Holden counters.
Lily’s not mad but Cane helping her is messing with her head – she has a shield around her heart; she’s confused. You’re so different from the Cane I fell in love with. She feels ‘turned around’. That’s music to Cane’s ears.
I asked you not to be dramatic – Billy doesn’t want to hear about his Mom’s mortality – you look fantastic. Jill can’t imagine anything worse than leaving this world without healing this hurt between them.
After the nurse leaves, Traci tells Jack that Kyle and Diane just went home for a few minutes. Ashley’s on her way from Paris – Billy was here all night. Patty did this to me – what happened to her? Jack asks.
Jack would have been better off if you stayed dead! Patty manages to croak out, then sticks the syringe in Diane’s neck. What did you do!?? Diane gasps – as Kyle and the guard run towards them.
Claire hopes she and Holden can keep their relationship separate from their jobs. She’s glad he’ll be connecting with Lily so will support Holden (and buy him a Mimosa) ‘You’re the first person I thought to call with good news’, both say.
Cane’s curious – would you prefer to have Holden at Winters? Lily just wants him to find his place.
Billy admits that not mending things with Jill would be his biggest regret. She asks him to come to London – we can work things out there.
Traci updates Jack – Patty told the police that Diane stabbed you; she was arrested last night. Mike got her out on bail. Patty didn’t expect you to survive – you can make everything alright. Dear God, I hope so, Jack agrees.
The guard goes after Patty as Kyle catches his mother before she collapses to the floor. What did she do!? he asks. Burrow arrives with a cop – who handcuffs Patty as Kyle carries his limp Mom up the hallway – stay with me, Mom.
