Phyllis points out that Billy’s working for the competition; taking shelf space and profit away from his Father’s company/legacy. Jack’s the one who kicked me out of the company AND the house I grew up in, Billy rants. This has nothing to do with business – it’s because you chose me (over Jack) Billy refuses to choose. If Phyllis can co-exist with Jack, he can too.
Devon drops by GC Buzz looking for Mariah – to invite her to a dinner Jack’s hosting for Ashley. Oh, Hilary will be there too – and then she’s interviewing Nick. Devon’s impressed she got Nick to come on her show – you must be doing something right.
At the gym, Chelsea warns Nick not to exhaust all his energy before his big interview. Once you say all this about Victor, it’ll be out there forever. Hilary loves a juicy story – maybe you shouldn’t be airing your dirty laundry on her show. It’s not too late to cancel, Chelsea coerces.
After leaving yet another message for Mariah, Devon chats some more with Hilary; getting on like best friends.
Back at the Abbott mansion, Ashley fills Traci in on Graham’s Mother being alive – and from GC! Graham could have been born here – but there’s no record of him (just as he wants it) Graham Bloodworth isn’t a name you’d forget.
Graham watches as Ravi resolves Dina’s password issue – it was a company-wide policy thing. But Ashley said the security breach was a false alarm, Graham’s skeptical. After Dina excuses herself, Graham shows Ravi out (and says that Dina would feel much better about tonight if Ashley allowed him to accompany her)
When Phyllis clip-clops into his office, Jack asks if he was right – did Billy try to access Jabot’s servers on your laptop? Damn you, Phyllis hisses.
Traci doesn’t mind Ashley leaving her alone – she’s got an old friend coming over to catch up. When Ashley continues to dwell on her investigation of Graham, Traci orders her sister to enjoy her special evening.
Hilary’s optimistic that Lily and Cane will reconcile. That kind of true love always finds its way back (wink wink, nudge nudge)
After Neil leaves, Vikki updates Billy that he loved the new face mask. It could be a huge hit. Going over their to-do list, Vikki suddenly wonders what’s wrong with Billy – is it Phyllis???
Phyllis stopped Billy before he could get any more info – he doesn’t know you’re onto him. Jack’s not nearly as surprised as Phyllis is. Her only focus is keeping Billy away from Vikki but Jack’s sorry to break it to Phyllis; BnS isn’t the only thing between you and Billy. He wants revenge on me and is using you to spy on me. When Phyllis blames Vikki, Jack barks ‘stop playing the victim’ – it doesn’t suit you.
Bumping into Ashley at Jabot, Ravi updates that Dina thought she was fired. He then hears that Dina took photos of Jack and Nikki and sent them to Victor. Hating to play messenger, especially on this, Ravi asks Ashley if Graham can accompany Dina to tonight’s dinner.
