Tucker mocks Jill; Chancellor is all you have in life. You have no family – the Winters side is full of family. Billy’d rather work for his brother. You’re alone. Says the man who’s wife and son want nothing to do with him, Jill scoffs. Maybe Tucker has an arsenal in his back pocket too.
The boys alone on the patio, Nate knows Devon looks up to Victor – but he treats his family bad. What he did is questionable, Devon agrees. There’s slight tension between them – it’s obvious that Lily trusts Nate more. You’ll constantly be breathing down my neck, Nate gripes.
Lily comes back in a dither. Mattie just called – her school is on fire due to a lockdown. She needs to go be near her. Everything will be OK. Devon gives her a hug – I love you. She has no time to say ‘bye’ to Nate, I guess.
Jack knows that Tucker’s furious – this might be nothing more than a huge meaningless mind game (to make the Abbotts furious too)
Maybe your arsenal isn’t as huge as you think it is, Jill quips. Tucker laughs. The devil’s greatest trick was making you think he doesn’t exist (he exits on that mic drop) Jill wants to call a truce; share information on Tucker. Work on the same side? Maime crows.
Ready to leave her condo, Lily makes a quick call to reassure Charlie. Daniel comes in – they won’t let you anywhere near the school. He offers to help and calls Larry to clear his schedule. I’m going with you.
Jill walks into the Abbott’s house without knocking. She assumes Billy’s announcing that he’s leaving Jabot to come to CW. No, he’s not. When they share the theory that Tucker’s just playing mind games, Jill agrees – he doesn’t have a plan.
Miame finds Tucker waiting for her at the revolving door. She doesn’t trust him and doesn’t want to hear anything he has to say. It’s about Jill, Tucker gets her attention.
Billy’s plan is to form a united front and turn the mind games back on Tucker. Jack’s surprised to hear that Jill and Maime are on the same team. Tucker’s desperate and hurting – we have to push him to edge; break him once and for all.
Seated in the dining room, Tucker admires what Maime’s doing for her family. Jill will fight hard and ugly to protect herself. Tucker claims that he’s backing off (for Devon’s sake) What game are you playing? Maime scoffs.
Nate assures Devon that he’s back on track. Thank you for this opportunity. As Nate leaves, Devon tells him that Lily believes in you. If you screw up and break her heart we’re done.
Lily’s fine – she doesn’t need Daniel to come with her. You have a launch next week. I’ve got this. OK – but he’ll be texting her non-stop. Daniel hugs a worried Lily.
