Asked (by Jill) to leave, Summer’s met by Luca in the hallway – Billy says he doesn’t care about Vikki or anyone else in her family. Summer concludes it’s a lost cause. Back in the office, Jill insists that Billy still loves Vikki – and you still love my son. Please make the first move. He’ll be an idiot until you set him straight.
Jack and Phyllis drop by Billy’s – by request. Hear us out. Ashley and Jill are very concerned. Even Phyllis is having difficulty with your choices. Is that right? Are you worried about me? Billy challenges Phyllis.
More of the same with Jill and Vikki (who’s tired of cleaning up other people’s messes, then being attacked) Jill’s done the same with Collin – and now we’re better than ever. Summer and Luca hear the arguing. Vikki’s done – end of discussion. After Luca leaves, Vikki storms out – telling Summer to keep an eye on things.
Yes, Phyllis is worried about Billy. You’re self-destructing, Jack lectures his brother on drinking and meaningless flings. You need help. We care, Phyllis adds. Jack tells Billy that Jill’s donation hinges on them talking to him – she’s at the end of her rope. You want me to tell you what’s bother me? OK, Billy will do that right now.
Vikki’s at the bar. How can Travis help? He can listen. There’s something you need to know about me, she announces.
Jill joins the Baldwins and wastes little time whining about Billy regressing beyond her wildest nightmares.
Looking at Phyllis, Billy talks about being alone in the house. His job is sniffing perfume. It’s his own fault. He admits to being tempted to gamble, but he’s got it under control. Ashley thinks there’s a new woman in Billy’s life, Jack hopes it’s not a new woman he just met. Is there someone you genuinely care about? There was, but that’s over, Billy sadly admits.
Vikki tells Travis that she now realizes she and her ex can’t fix things. We’re not getting back together. How does she feel about that? Sad – and relieved. Travis understands – maybe there can ve something more between us. No, Vikki’s a mess. She understands if he doesn’t want to see her anymore. Goodbye. Travis calls ‘Tori’ back.
Back at the office, Summer wishes Vikki could see that Luca’s not the bad guy. He thinks Summer intuitive. Pulling her into his arms, he praises her beauty – but she’s the whole package ~kiss~ An urgent email comes in from NE’s offshore drilling operation. OMG – this is serious.
There’s an incident at one of the drilling platforms. This could be a catastrophic event, Luca worries – it could be a fire or natural disaster. We need to get in front of this before it hits the media. Not willing to go behind Vikki’s back again, Summer calls her.
Travis does want more – but if Vikki wants to leave things as they are – he doesn’t want to lose her. As they kiss, a camera takes photos.
Jill relays forcing Jack and Phyllis to talk sense into Billy (or she’d pull her donation) They’d do the same if it were Fen. Billy looks up to Jack and Phyllis was some sway with him too.
