Yes, Billy might need a yin to his yang – but is that you? Chance doesn’t want power; he’s content supporting Billy. And if he says no? Chance says ‘good bye and good luck’.
Billy failing to recognise Lily’s value could spell the end to his short rein at Chancellor, Nikki opines – but hopes Victor doesn’t plan to give her position back to her. No, that job belongs to you – but, Victor sees nothing wrong in letting Lily believe she can get what she wants.
Jack detects a certainty in Lily’s voice that Billy’s failure is imminent – is there trouble at Chancellor? Why did you choose to work with Billy instead of going with Devon and Nate? he has to ask.
Nikki doesn’t think lying to someone they respect is the way to go. She wants to find a place for Lily – just not at the head of the table. Victor will lay out his terms; Lily can say yay or nay.
Lily wanted to stay on and rein-in Billy’s impulses to protect and grow the company she put a lot of time and effort into. Billy’s lost an ally he really needs, Jack again wonders if there’s something she’s not telling him. Lily hopes Jack will look out for his brother – he’s made himself and Chancellor vulnerable with this move.
Billy will consider Chance’s offer – put together a 5 year proposal; where you see Chancellor going. Already done, Chance pulls out his phone and sends his TEN year proposal – look that over. I’m the perfect man for the job. He leaves Billy to flash back to firing Lily.
Claire won’t be resigning any time soon. Good, Harrison adores you. And he wouldn’t be the only one who’d miss you – I would too.
Jack has every intention of voicing his very strong objection to Billy firing Lily. He’s sure Katherine would be advocating for her. If anyone leaves Chancellor, it should be Billy. Lily doesn’t want Jack to fight her battle. He only plans to open his brothers eyes. A split second after Jack leaves, Lily gets a call from Victor. I’m on my way, she hurries out.
Claire guesses that Kyle’s eyelash wish was to not have to find another nanny. If she wasn’t Harrison’s nanny, would we still be friends? Of course. Friends go to dinner and a movie sometimes, he adds – but people might get the wrong idea. Claire doesn’t care. She’ll do what she wants with who she wants.
At Newman, Nikki hopes Lily doesn’t mind her sitting in. Billy was a complete idiot to let you go, she chimes in. Do we have a deal? Lily wastes no time asking Victor. Not quite.
When Claire wonders if her hours might be reduced, Kyle doesn’t think so – Harrison might need help adjusting to school or a new home. We like having you around. Let me know when that changes, she jokes. Not gonna happen, Kyle assures.
Back at Newman, the terms of Lily’s offer are that she give Victor info that will cut Billy off at the knees. You get the company, I get my job back. Before Victor agrees, he must know if the info Lily has will be useful to him.
Jack marches into Billy’s office to huff and puff about him firing Lily – don’t let this business burn to the ground. Angered that his brother doesn’t support him, Billy barks – get out of my office now!
