After Travis takes Johnny up to bed, Vikki hopes Victor didn’t come by to grill Travis. To repeat what she told Jill, please stay out of this.
Jill joins Devon and Hilary at the bar to hear how Phyllis ended up in the hospital. She only has sympathy for Jack (and doesn’t want to hear any input from Hilary) Devon got the reporter to drop the story. Hilary remembers how the GC Buzz made their lives a nightmare too. You used the GC Buzz to trash Neil and his family, Jill recalls – karma’s a bitch. There’s more than one bitch here! Hilary snarls (and is lead away by Devon)
Summer tells her Mom that she hasn’t seen Jack – I can try calling him again? No, Phyllis sees no point. He wants a divorce. Jack rode in the ambulance and he called me, Summer believes Jack still loves Phyllis. Have hope.
You can’t sever ties with your brother – find a way to forgive Billy, John lectures, then lists all he’s forgiven Jack for – losing Jabot to Victor, sleeping with Jill. Follow the example I set for you and pull this family together. Be the man I know you can be, he concludes. Billy arrives to tell Jack that Phyllis is awake – it was just a concussion. He’s not there to fight, he’s there to make amends.
Please don’t interfere in this relationship, Vikki requests. Victor likes ‘this one’ – he’s a straight shooter, much better than Billy (who’s latest catastrophe can’t affect Vikki or the kids) Vikki’s with Travis now and done with Billy. Victor hopes she means it.
Asked to leave, Summer assures Paul that he’ll hear exactly what Jack told him – the truth. Now alone, Phyllis tells Paul that she fell – Jack would never hurt me. Paul reads what she said while ‘agitated’ – Jack, no, please. He’s not done with his questions.
Billy apologizes for the lies, the affair, and accusing Jack of hurting Phyllis. Jack questions the sudden turnaround. Did Phyllis send you here? No – things didn’t go as Billy hoped when Phyllis opened her eyes. She loves you. And you love her. Don’t waste time being angry when you can be happy. After Billy leaves, Jack looks over to see his Father fade away.
Victor takes a seat beside Jill at the bar. He’s thoroughly enjoying what Billy and Jack are going through and knows Jill wants her ne’er-do-well son to ingratiate himself to Vikki (the last thing she needs)
Billy’s next stop is Vikki’s – to apologize to Travis for being out of line the other day. He’s not surprised to hear he’s moved in. If Travis is good to Vikki and the kids, Billy’s fine with it. He plans to focus on work, his future and the kids (who he’s given permission to go up to see)
Phyllis IS telling Paul the truth (not lying for Jack) Yes, he was angry but the fall was an accident. Phyllis doesn’t need info on a domestic abuse group. I’m not a victim, I fell, my husband doesn’t need police scrutiny over a crime that didn’t happen. Phyllis just wants to be left alone to put the pieces of her life back together.
