Scotch – and keep em coming til I say otherwise, Billy instructs the club’s bartender as he undoes his bow-tie. Spotting Sally, he takes drink number two over to her table. How was the wedding? she quips, tongue in cheek.
Back at the ranch, Diane repeats for clarity – she’s taken control of Glacade and her first official act is to fire her son. You thought Victor took you under his wing but he sunk his claws in to you to hurt Jack (who hovers in the background)
Nick’s barely through the front door when Sharon leaps into his arms. Is Phyllis going to be alright!? She was in an accident, Nick explains that someone crossed the centre line and forced her off the road – she’s unconscious. I didn’t kill Phyllis, Sharon’s relieved (Nick’s astounded)
Sharon tells Nick that she blacked out while driving; when she came to, she saw him and Chance pulling Phyllis out of her burning car. I was the one who ran her off the road. Nick doesn’t believe Sharon would intentionally hurt Phyllis, or anyone. I had to do whatever it took to shut Phyllis up, Sharon confesses.
The dress you made for Abby was beautiful – Billy’s surprised Sally didn’t go to see her walk down the aisle. Sally didn’t want to run into Adam (who wasn’t there) Billy admits that he forced his Mother’s hand – seems ‘she’s not all in on supporting her son’.
Claire listens as Jack takes Kyle’s side – Diane’s probably just lying again. You drove a wedge between me and my father and want to rip away this chance of success, Kyle will never trust his mother again. he leaves Jack to quietly ask Diane if it’s true. Yes, Victor’s giving her Glacade in exchange for firing Kyle (again) I don’t know if I can do this, she cries. We just need to keep it going a little bit longer, Jack promises.
Billy tells Sally that his Mom gave him an ultimatum – she wanted him to undo a few moves he made at AC. She expected me to fail, like everyone else. He couldn’t lift the company up with his hands tied behind his back. His Mom made him fire the only person who had his back (Phyllis) and rehire Lily. She sold the company to Victor.
Enjoying yourself? Victor confirms what Diane told Kyle is true. This is how you reward my loyalty? Kyle’s furious. My father loves his family in a way you’ll never understand. Jack almost killed Nikki – he’s getting off easy! Victor declares Kyle a good, bright man. This is the way the world works. Once you stop licking your wounds, you’ll understand.
