Scaring the bejeesus out of Sharon at CL’s, Matt wanted to see her. Why do you keep coming back? she asks.

Victor finds the living room festooned with flowers, candles and snacks. Having brought Vienna to the ranch, Nikki appears with a gold mask and speaking Italian.

Glad to run into Billy at the club, Audra asks if he’s spoken to Sally. He has – Coco’s surgery went well. Billy’s celebrating with champagne and can’t wait to share his good news with Sally.

At Jabot, Jack updates Kyle that Cane was there – Billy couldn’t wait to tell him and Lily the ‘good’ news. Jack (and his sisters) aren’t interested in Chancellor – they must rein Billy in – quickly – he’s given Cane and Lily til the end of the week to relinquish Chancellor.

Meeting Cane at Society,.Lily reports that according to Amanda, if Billy has the documents he claims this is very real. Cane saw Jack – he doesn’t condone Billy’s actions but won’t stop him (so it’s up to us)

You’re more beautiful than ever, Victor compliments Nikki. She doesn’t care where in the world they are, as long as she’s in his arms ~hug~

Sharon wishes Matt would find another coffee shop. Feeling responsible, he wants to know that Nick’s back at rehab and doing OK. This is really hard on me, he mopes.

At the club’s bar, Billy prattles on about working his ass off against the doubters and haters. Audra’s been there – what’s changed? she wonders – what are you celebrating? Join me and I’ll fill you in, Billy invites.

In Jack’s office, Kyle can’t believe Billy’s moving so fast. Jack agrees that he has a strong case – but if Billy loses in court, what will THAT do to him?

‘How lucky are we’, the Newmans clink glasses. Nikki gives Victor a gift; a book of love poems from Venice – with English translations. Victor will read to her.
