Chelsea persists – share your story. Billy’s not rushing this. It IS a huge story but he’s politely declining her offer. You don’t trust me, Chelsea’s hurt.
You’re the protector of the Abbott name, Lily hopes Jack will stop Billy. You know how he feels about Chancellor, Jack doesn’t think anything will stop him. Lily wants to make a deal before this spins out of control.
Once Adam’s been filled in, Victor instructs him to use Newman Media to go scorched on Billy; reduce him to a pile of ash.
Billy doesn’t distrust Chelsea – he distrusts Adam and Victor; you can’t control them or the press. Yeah, Billy would give Sally the scoop. He knows she’ll be on his side (and that Chelsea will be on Adam’s) My business affairs are off limits, he marches out.
At the front door, Cane agrees to tell Adam everything – as long as Lily doesn’t get hurt. My father wants her to keep Chancellor, Adam promises – this is about Billy. Did we just become allies?
Lily came to the ‘always level-headed’ Jack to propose that she and Chancellor pay back John’s loan with interest – no drama, no mess. Whaddaya think?
Sharon tells Nick that she and Matt had a long talk. His motivation is his need to be forgiven. She believes he’s genuinely haunted. When Nick comes home, he doesn’t want to deal with any version of Matt Clark.
Chatting about his recovery, Nick tells Sharon that Marie showed up during one of his ‘shares’ – a full circle moment. You saved her life, she won’t forget you, Sharon knows. Nick won’t forget her either.
Chelsea joins Adam at home – Billy wouldn’t share his plan; he thinks NM is out to destroy him. Adam has a more reliable source who’s ready to spill.
