On the CL’s patio, Connor tells his parents that he started to panic last night in his room. It triggered the OCD, he alarms them.
Billy’s asked Lily to meet him at the office to ask if she thought about what he said last night – or is she still asking him to step away from Abbott Chancellor?
Claire arrives at the house with homemade soup for her ‘little buddy’. Coming downstairs to hear to Kyle’s claim that Harrison wouldn’t have gotten sick if they went to Paris. Summer folds her arms and scowls – so, you’re saying this is my fault.
Claire stands by awkwardly as Summer shrieks about how ridiculous Kyle sounds. Fine, you’re not a bad parent for trying a new restaurant – but Harrison belongs with me (and you won’t convince a Judge otherwise) Kyle bellows.
Connor explains how he ‘rolled with’ his OCD using tools the doctors taught him. Sending him in to pick out a treat, Chelsea and Adam worry what will happen next time Connor’s triggered.
Billy finds it ‘unfortunate’ that Lily hasn’t changed her mind. They bicker about the future of the company until Billy explains why he shouldn’t be the one to leave. Your soultion is to get rid of me? Lily’s astounded.
Lily will fight Billy on this. No need, after some drinks, he realized that he’s a liability and agrees to be a silent partner (so Victor won’t come after the company)
Chelsea and Adam bond over their concern for Connor. Are we ready for this? she tears up. We have to – if not his parents, who? They hold hands across the table and agree to tackle it one day at a time.
Getting both Kyle and Summer’s permission to go up and see Harrison, Claire leaves them to argue until Kyle’s had enough. He’s instructing his lawyer to accelerate the custody hearing – I want this over with.
After texting his lawyer, Kyle boasts that he’s in a better position to win custody. Summer’s lawyer’s told her the same thing. Rejoining them, Claire gets permission to take Harrison to the park. When she assumes Kyle will be leaving for Paris soon, he glares at Summer when announcing that he’s not going anywhere.
Billy’s not in this for the glory – he’s in it to creat something special. No, he won’t stay behind the scenes forever – just until the company’s unstoppable. Take the win – Victor won’t come after you the way he would me. Lily wonder how they announce that she’s the face of the company without making Billy seem weak.
