I hope you got all that – don’t forget a single detail, Zack instructs into his phone. Scott returns to say he wasn’t able to catch up with Natalia (who was scared to death) Congratulated for being on a first name basis with the prostitute, Scott tells Zack that it’s no joke – these girls are trapped. Tracking an LLC, Scott’s close and will soon pass all his has onto the feds – and publish his story. These guys get cocky and make mistakes, Scott concludes (then makes the mistake of going to the bathroom – leaving Zack to drop a pill in his beer)
Now it’s Ashley’s turn to share her guilt and conflicted feelings over Dina (and Jack’s turn to be supportive) Nothing changes in the family – Dad was so proud of you. Your family loves you. Ashley then leaves Jack to ask that Phyllis show some compassion towards Ashley. When that actually happens, Jack wonders why Phyllis is really there.
Now at GC Buzz, a stressed Vikki leaves Billy yet another message; one day he’ll make her head explode. As Chelsea’s ordering Vikki to breathe, Billy arrives to take her aside to update that Jack knows all and has no plans to scale back the men’s line. OMG! Vikki pretends she’s not having a meltdown when Hilary comes over to say how great today’s show will be. When Lily arrives, Hilary’s furious to hear that she’s doing the interview too.
Back at Jabot, Phyllis demands Jack to send her to the cosmetics convention in Dallas. You owe me. Jack agrees but YOU break the news to Gloria. As Phyllis exits, Jack suggests she watch Vikki on The Hilary Hour. It might lighten your spirits.
At the station, Hilary does her best to get Lily ousted from the interview. You agreed to do things my way, Vikki reminds as she leaves Lily to smirk at a frustrated Hilary.
Aside, Billy tells Vikki that Jack planted a fake memo about the men’s line. Phyllis knew you accessed her computer and didn’t say anything – she’s in on it with Jack, Vikki’s sure. Billy wants to focus on this free national commercial for BnS’s new mask. Vikki worries about the loans she’ll default on – not just Neil, other investors, her own money. If the mask’s not a hit, BnS is dead. You’ve got this, Billy cheerleads.
Calling it a night, Zack practically drags a drugged-up Scott out of Underground.
