In her office, Vikki’s lost in memories of kissing Billy – when he walks in to snap her out of it with good news. Lily accepted the executive job and wants to hit the ground running. Vikki has a confession to make – her run-in with Phyllis wasn’t pretty. No, of course she didn’t mention how they know about Jabot JR. I just let her know things might not be as idyllic as she thinks. Billy makes it clear to Vikki that he’s committed to Phyllis. Yes, but you’ve been willing to risk that relationship time and time again, Vikki points out.
Ashley wants to discuss the guest list. To clarify, she wants Ravi to be her date. The whole family will be there, she warns – are you sure? Yes, Ravi’s sure.
Devon tells Abby that he and Mariah were friends and colleagues first. Over time, he developed an appreciation for Mariah that turned into something deeper. It doesn’t have to always be a bolt of lightning. Sometimes that’s a bad thing – like with Hilary; it was intense, she was on my mind 24/7. Devon got caught up in the passion and made bad decisions. Yeah but maybe Abby likes passion. Then keep doing what you’re doing, Devon advises – this Zack guy might surprise you.

At BnS, Billy denies that anything he’s done for the company has anything to do with his relationship with Phyllis. We didn’t have a choice. Vikki’s grateful he took that risk and knows the one time she slipped up, they both regretted it. Billy asks that Vikki not engage with Phyllis. We can’t tip our hand – not when we’ve got the edge.
Jack wasn’t going to get into this – he’s not terribly objective when it comes to Billy. The security breach wasn’t a false alarm. Billy’s the one who got into our server. He used your computer to do it! Phyllis is stunned.
Next: Alice has been in an accident, Sharon informs. How is she? Nick asks. She’s gone! …. Cane looks uncomfortable when his Dad shakes Juliet’s hand and introduces himself; Colin Atkinson, soon to be grandfather of the child you’re carrying … Wait, I don’t want you to go, Mariah steps in Tessa’s way as she’s leaving with her baggage.
