Lily’s looking at her screensaver (a photo of her and Devon) when Mattie arrives at work to doubt her Mom’s excuse for leaving the house so early. Everyone’s sad but knows it was an accident – you get that right? Thanking Mattie, Lily hugs her – and again pouts at the screensaver over her daughter’s shoulder.
Cane accosts Devon downstairs to defend his decision (and Lily) Are you really willing to sacrifice your sister to make up for losing your wife and baby? Yes, watch me, Devon responds without hesitation.
Summer trails behind Billy apologizing for being a distraction this morning. Don’t let it happen again please, Billy closes the office door in her face. Kyle appears to ask what she’s sorry about – this is getting interesting. Updating that Billy moved back in, Summer intends to tell him that Phyllis cheated (info she got from Kyle) Yes, she wants Billy; for a string-free relationship, like her last boyfriend. You want Billy because it’ll be cheap and meaningless, Kyle uses synonyms of ‘casual’.
As Nikki calls security, Phyllis hangs up to say she was just thinking out loud to Sharon. Nikki owns what she did to JT – you and Sharon were there by chance. You helped us, as friends – it meant a lot and seemed like you cared. But now Nikki’s reminded that Phyllis only cares about herself. Victor appears to ask what Phyllis is doing here. Charity work Nikki wasn’t interested in, Phyllis lies and leaves.
Mattie needs to go make some deliveries for Neil and Devon. No, Lily doesn’t know what’s going to happen – it’s complicated. Mattie’s proud of her Mom no matter what. Lily’s left to think some more.
Nate interrupts Cane and Devon arguing in the dining room. He wants to wreck my family and make Lily pay! an angry Cane marches off. Nate asks Devon if that’s what he really wants.
Arriving at CL’s, Sharon thanks Mariah for the drive and the talk (which she’s not to mention to Nick) She’s now onboard with marrying the amazing Nick; a wedding Mariah’s happy to help plan.
Victor tells Nikki to have security remove Phyllis if she’s a pest. Don’t hang up next time. You really DO know everything that goes on here, Nikki chuckles. Victor doesn’t want stress to cause another MS flare up. Nikki admits her stress is partly due to Victor and Nick falling out. He’s only interested in his relationship with Nikki. And so, here’s your new doctor. I’ll leave you adn Dr Nate to get acquainted.
Kyle knocks, then slips into Billy’s empty office to flip through files on his desk. Billy appears to accuse him of digging. Yes, because the CEO won’t tell us anything. Billy’s keeping it a secret from everyone. Yes, especially Ashley. Shown the door, Kyle wastes no time texting Ashley.
Cane stops by the penthouse to pressure Shawna (who knows what she saw; Lily ran the light) Cane’s just trying to protect his wife and family. Don’t tell the police. They’ll wonder why you withheld it – don’t risk the future Hilary wanted you to have. Shawna’s not buying it. She knows Cane doesn’t care about her, only what happens to Lily.
Victor comes back just as Nate finishes up with his new patient. Nikki and Victor then chat about Hilary – oh how precious life is. That’s why Victor hired a personal doctor for himself and Nikki. Both look delighted to regain their position as GC’s ‘premier executive power couple’.
