Victor continues to badger Adam – do you want Billy Abbott to be Connor’s stepfather? Help advance my plans that will keep you in charge of Newman Media – get it done! he orders before leaving.
Don’t let Lily make you doubt yourself, Chelsea advises Billy.
Still in his office, Adam makes a call – let me know what you find out Chancellor’s announcement. When Sally drops by, Adam confides that his Dad wants him to do some dirty work (but can’t tell her what)
At the club, Mike sits with Victor uninvited to yet again explain why he and Cole did what they did. What can I do to earn back your trust? Don’t ever take it upon yourself to save my ass, Victor wags his finger – but, there may be something Mike can do.
Billy will try to be Lily’s silent partner. If not, he’ll have to figure out what comes next.
This negotiation is a non-starter for Kyle. It’s not a negotiation. Oh, so it’s an ultimatum – what if I asked you to fire Chelsea? Kyle’s building Glacade into a legacy for Harrison. Summer’s only forced to fight for her parental rights because Kyle doesn’t respect them. Kyle will always put Harrison first – please, he has a counter offer. How about we drop the case and share custody? What are you not telling me? (Summer wonders why he can’t ditch Audra)
Adam asks Sally to be patient with her. She hates to ask but do you still trust me (since he used to talk to her about Victor all the time) Chelsea arrives to thank Sally for her support – she’s glad she and Billy have become friends. After Sally leaves, Chelsea closes the door and asks Adam why he told Billy to stay away from her.
Is Audra holding something over you? Summer wonders. It’s not about Audra or me, it’s about Harrison, Kyle points out. He’s done jumping through hoops and playing nice. It’s clear Summer’s trying to blow up his life – how will you protect Harrison from the fallout? See you in court! he marches out.
Victor needs Mike to use his unique set of skills to find dirt on Billy.
Entering the office, Billy pauses for a moment to look at the new logo. He then makes a call – put out the announcement. Yes, that one. The world needs to be put on notice that Abbott Chancellor means business.
Adam didn’t want Billy to overwhelm Chelsea and Connor with his ‘I know what’s best’ energy. Chelsea was the one to call Billy – maybe Adam should worry about his own relationship. Billy still thinks we’re hiding something. We ARE! Chelsea fires back. Adam knows she wants to tell Billy – so, are you going to?
