Neil jumps in, telling Lily to be respectful. Lily says she is just telling the truth and Ashley mentions all the lies that Hilary has told. Hilary finds it ironic that Ashley of all people is calling Hilary a liar when she has told her fair share of lies too.

In front of Devon, Phyllis accuses Hilary of trying to get with Jack. Hilary says that Phyllis has obviously given more thought about her marriage than Phyllis and Jack’s. Neil tries to control the situation. To himself. Billy says, “All in favor of the motion say ‘aye’.” Hilary is still trying to reason with Jack, saying all she tried to do was help accomplish his mission. Jack attempts to silence Hilary, but Hilary, more directed at Phyllis this time, says Jack came to her, talked to her and confided in her while Phyllis was AWOL. Lily tries to pipe in about Hilary abandoning Devon, but Devon tells her to stay out of it. Hilary stands up, defending her actions saying she thought she was dying, and tried to spare her husband any pain.

Jack announces the vote. Ashley starts, voting yes to remove Hilary from the board. Lily says yes. 2-0. Neil says no. 2-1. Phyllis, 3-1. Neil is against it, and since Hilary and Billy can’t vote, the deciding vote is Jack whose hands are tied. Hilary tells Jack the lawsuit will be settled by tomorrow and they will be paying the victims. With that, Jack votes to keep Hilary, which means she gets to keep her position on the board. Hilary gets up to shake Jack’s hand, while a disappointed Phyllis gets up to leave. Billy follows her and Phyllis tells Billy she can’t leave her marriage.
