On the phone with Charlie, Lily tells him that his Dad loves him. When Phyllis comes down the club’s staircase ending a call with Daniel the women come face to face in the dining room.
Eating pie in the living room, Billy tells the family that Sally went to see Audra. Too tired and jet-lagged to report what she’s been up to in Paris, Ashley asks what’s new in GC. Telling her about Cane’s AI program, Jack’s sure that once Victor’s done destroying his company, ‘he’ll come after us’.
At the ranch, Victor’s concerned about Nick and Noah (as well as Nikki and Vikki catching on) When Adam answers the door, Cane announces that he’s there to ‘admit defeat’ – you won, Victor.
Ashley and Traci are horrified to hear what Cane’s AI is capable of. We have to save Jabot from Victor, Jack doubts Ashley can talk him out of achieving his goal; to destroy Jabot and me.
His company on the verge of collapse, Cane’s there to offer a deal. I’ll give you my entire empire – Arabesque is all yours (if there’s anything left to buy)
Phyllis won’t ‘let’ Lily leave the club without telling her ‘I’m on to your game’ (dangling a carrot over Cane then hitting him over the head with it) It’s cruel and petty – I won’t let you get away with it.
Cane’s jumped through hoops to get your approval – how many times does he have to beg for your forgiveness? Phyllis knows he’s obsessed with Lily. The good part of Cane would want nothing to do with you – but you and ‘Dumas’ are ‘a match made in hell, Lily fires back.
‘It was a good run’, Cane’s offer is ‘fair’. Let’s put our cards on the table and work this out. Victor isn’t interested in picking the bones of Arabesque.
Jack’s sure Victor’s hatred for him is stronger than his fondness for Ashley – because he risked his sobriety to save Nikki’s. Billy thinks it’s time to flip the script. He has a weapon that could bury Jabot, Jack does indeed have a plan – you’re not all going to like it.
Jack gives a long-winded boxing analogy – we need to catch Victor off-guard. He hasn’t used the AI against us because he’s waiting to take us down in public – the launch of Abbott Communications. We have to make Jabot untouchable – by giving the boxer a counter-punch he’d never see coming.
