And my favourite daughter, Riley ……..
Lily races into the ER following a text sent by Cane. When she arrives, she meets Cane, who is holding his baby.
Scott enters the elevator, joining Abby. She suggests he take the next one, but he wants to talk about their encounter the night before.
Billy surprises Phyllis with a gift. Inside is a framed photo of a horse “Philly”, purchased by Billy for them to share. Phyllis is thrilled and ends up being late for work because well… you know.
Lauren and Gloria discuss Phyllis’ absence. Gloria attributes it to Billy of course, who doesn’t work. Ashley walks into the office, eyes glued to her phone. She orders Gloria to get Jack on the phone.
Hilary asks Jack to sponsor the Hilary Hour. How will he benefit from this deal? Hilary promises to promote Jabot, as well as Fenmore stores and new products. The meeting is interrupted by Gloria, who he quickly hangs up on. Ashley is displeased and storms into her office, slamming papers onto Gloria’s desk. Jack receives another phone call, indicating that there is a trespasser on the property. Dina and Traci are called into the living room, where Dina points to Hilary, identifying her as the trespasser. Jack, Traci and Hilary are all dumbfounded.
Abby tries to figure out what is wrong with her and Scott, but he is eager to leave saying “that’s something we can figure out… later.”
Lily and Cane wait for the nurse to bring back Sam while they check his vitals. Meanwhile, he continues thanking her for her and Mattie’s help.
Phyllis and Billy cuddle, looking at the photo of the horse. Phyllis later tries to get up to get ready for work, but Billy successfully protests.
Hilary tries to defend her celebrity who owns her own tv show, but Dina sees her as a “loudmouth, social climbing, parasite.” When Traci leads Dina away, Hilary tries to sympathize and apologizes, grabbing her coat to leave. Jack reminds her that she can’t leave without them shaking on their deal.
Cane and Lily reminisce about bringing the twins home, and celebrate the fact that Sam will be home in time for Christmas.
Jack and Hilary resume their meeting, and while they try to figure out the logistics, they come into conflict when Jack wants ample product placement for Jabot and Jabot cosmetics. In addition to this, Jack demands that Hilary needs to remove provocative, shocking news from the Hilary Hour. While Hilary was willing to compromise on how much time she dedicated to advertising Jabot, she is reluctant to changing her content.
Ashley emerges from her office, defeated that Jack shot down her cartwright deal. Gloria implies that Jack knows what is right for Jabot, which offends Ashley. The phone rings, saving Gloria. Jack asks Gloria to tell Ashley that Jabot cosmetics is now sponsoring the Hilary Hour.
Scott comes looking for Vikki, but is stuck in another uncomfortable talk with Abby, this time about Sharon. Abby tells Scott that his feelings for Sharon aren’t real enough to stop him from doing the deed with her.
Hilary is brought into Ashley’s office where she quickly talks money, branding and paperwork, without giving Ashley a minute to tell her that Jabot Cosmetics will not be sponsoring The Hilary Hour, ever.
Phyllis finally walks into work, acting as though she’s been busy running around all day working. Lauren smiles and nods until Gloria waltzes by swiftly saying “you aren’t fooling anyone sweetheart.” Lauren calls Phyllis out for not having the flu, to which she admits. Lauren fills Phyllis in with the latest on Jack and Ashley and of course, Phyllis knows all about their desire for power.
Billy says his goodbye to Traci while Jack speaks with a furious Ashley. Jack enlightens Hilary that Ashley is only in charge temporarily, however she tells him to get it together before she finds someone else to sponsor her.
Ashley calls for a meeting with Lauren this afternoon, and has Gloria get Traci, Billy and Abby on the phone.
