Cane’s happy Lily will still be working at BnS and sure he’ll find another job soon. Lily worries how the twins will react if they end up with a little brother or sister. Cane’s phone goes pings. Is it Juliet? No – it’s a headhunter. Go through my phone, my emails, he invites. Lily already did.
Nikki looks forward to seeing Dina – it’s been a while. She’s touched that Jack still cares so much about her (and her beauty). Maybe the universe was trying to tell us something, Jack’s suggestive but lightens the mood before leaving her to rest up. Now alone, Nikki immediately puts cream on her aching hands.
Billy won’t let the competition kick BnS when they’re down and agrees these sales numbers must remain under wraps until they can regroup. Vikki sends Billy off to see Jill – but don’t tell her anything. This wasn’t your failure, he reiterates – then is surprised to bump into a smirking Victor on his way out.
Sending Billy off to see his Mom, Vikki lets Victor into her office. Initially standoffish, she’s soon telling him all about the case she just settled. Victor advises her to regroup. Funny, that’s what Vikki just told Billy. Victor will always help Vikki if she comes to him with problems. Vikki makes it clear that she won’t be – she has everything under control.
Lily’s not proud to admit that she swiped Cane’s phone and went through it. So you saw there’s nothing between me and Juliet, Cane points out that they’ve gotten through this type of stuff before. You should really get to that meeting (with the headhunter) Yes, Lily will be here when Cane comes back – it’s her home – where else would she be?
Backstage at the pavilion, Abby’s rushing the crew – the safety inspector’s coming to sign off on the light and sound today. If everything’s not up to code, he won’t issue a permit for the event. Arriving to remind that he runs a nightclub, Nick will check things out (and look mischievous)
At the estate, Jill ends her racy phone call with Collin to order Ester to stop blathering – how are you? Jill doesn’t believe Ester’s fine (after losing her daughter and Kevin leaving with Bella) No, Ester can’t go too – the memories that Kevin’s escaping bring her comfort. Jill gives Ester a therapists’ business card and a hug. As Ester goes to check Jill’s luggage, Billy drops by to hear that his Mom’s returning to her travels. Jill’s then stunned to hear that Vikki fired the lying Cane. She what!?
Billy explains to Jill that Cane lied to Vikki. He made a drunken mistake but lied repeatedly while sober afterwards. Poor Lily got blindsided during a deposition with video from a Tokyo hotel. Juliet got a check and Cane got the axe. Convinced to continue her travels, Billy will call if needed.
Victor came to offer his assistance – yet Vikki treats him with contempt – like Nick does. We ARE a family – to think otherwise is absurd. Vikki suggests they focus on tomorrow’s benefit. She will check out the venue. Thanks for stopping by.
At the ranch, Chelsea tells Nikki that her son’s worried about her being in pain. Nikki thinks that sweet but there’s nothing to worry about. In parting, Chelsea hopes Nikki does what’s best for herself.
Dropping by the estate, Cane really doesn’t want to talk to Jill about his one-night stand. Lily’s doing OK – she went through his phone so now knows there’s nothing between him and Juliet. Jill’s certainty that Lily won’t throw her marriage away over a one night stand, tells Cane that Billy didn’t tell Jill everything.
