>> Mariah: Hi.
>> Faith: Hey.
>> Nick: Hi, baby girl.
>> Faith: Hey, Dad.
>> Nick: Very sorry we couldn't
stick around longer
and wait for your mom.
>> Faith: How's
Christian's earache?
>> Nick: Oh, it's better.
Yeah, thanks.
>> Mariah: Yeah, I'm sorry
I bailed too.
Tessa was closing here and
then we had an emergency with
the babysitter.
So, tell us.
What happened when
Sharon came home?
Did you guys talk?
>> Faith: Not exactly.
>> Nick: What happened?
>> Faith: It got so late,
I went to bed.
This morning, she was gone.
>> Nick: Gone?
>> Faith: I woke up
to a text from her.
She came home last night,
packed a bag and took off.
I never even heard her.
>> Mariah: What do you mean?
Where did she go?
What did she say?
>> Faith: Madison.
For Cassidy First meeting.
>> Mariah: That meeting was
on my calendar.
Why would she take it instead?
>> Faith: I don't know.
The only other thing she said
was that she wanted to make
sure that whatever is bothering
me could wait until she got
home from the trip.
>> Mariah: At least she was
checking on you.
>> Nick: Did you respond
to the text?
>> Faith: It-- it sounded
so rational, so like Mom.
I think I messed up, Dad.
I choked.
I told her that it wasn't
urgent, that she didn't need to
rush back.
If anything happens to Mom,
it's my fault, isn't it?
>> Cameron: You worried that
your loving family is going
to screech into the parking lot?
>> Sharon: No, of course not.
>> Cameron: They should be.
Because your cover story is
flimsy as hell.
>> Sharon: Well, it was
your idea, so you don't get
to criticize me now.
>> Cameron: Oh, no,
no, no, sweetheart.
This is all on you.
I'm just cheering you on from
this lovely, seedy dive
of a motel in the very wrong
side of town. Oh, I'm sorry.
I mean, Madison.
>> Sharon: Would you shut up?
>> Cameron: I'm just making
an observation.
For someone as smart as you,
how could you come up with such
a dumb story?
Telling your girls that you
have to leave in the middle of
the night for a last-minute
meeting in Madison?
Come on, how hard is
that to fact check?
>> Sharon: Shut up!
>> Cameron: And they will
fact check it, you know.
Because your family didn't
believe you.
And what do you think is going
to happen when they find out
you lied?
♪♪
>> Devon: So, now that Winters
is just Winters again, I want to
revisit you joining the board.
>> Nate: I'd welcome that.
>> Devon: Good.
>> Lily: Oh, hello.
>> Nate: Hey.
>> Lily: Are you two
playing hooky?
>> Nate: Just, uh, fueling up
for the long day.
>> Devon: Yeah,
how are you doing?
Any updates on getting control
of Chancellor again?
>> Nate: Are you still
considering taking Billy
to court over your
wrongful termination?
>> Lily: Well, turns out lawyers
might not be necessary.
>> Devon: What does that mean?
>> Nate: Has Billy come
to his senses?
>> Devon: Or has Jill
finally stepped in?
>> Lily: Let's just say I have
a plan and I am very confident
it's going to work out.
>> Devon: Okay.
Well, that's good, because
Billy sounded pretty damn
confident in his ability to
have success with
Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Lily: Yeah, well, the
difference is I actually have
a plan, and he's just cocky.
Which will be his downfall,
as usual.
>> Devon: Okay. It's nice
to hear that
you have confidence.
>> Lily: What, you don't think
I can make it happen?
>> Devon: I don't even know what
you're trying to make happen,
but I just don't want you to
underestimate what Billy's
capable of if
he feels threatened.
>> Billy: Phyllis, I need you
to be very specific.
What reason did the CEO of
Odyssey Seven give
for pulling out of the meeting?
>> Phyllis: He said he wanted to
look over the terms
of the contract
before he was comfortable
with committing.
That's exactly what he said.
>> Billy: That means
he's bailing on the deal.
This was practically a done
deal, so what happened?
>> Phyllis: I mean,
I don't know. I don't know.
We said he was eccentric, right?
He's maybe waiting for his
biorhythms to be right
or the stars to align.
>> Billy: Okay, but I gave him
a deal that no one in their
right mind would turn down.
So someone got to him.
And that someone is someone who
hates me and wants to
see me fail.
Victor is trying to sabotage
this deal.
>> Phyllis: I mean,
who do you think would
go to Victor to tell him about
the Odyssey Seven negotiation?
>> Billy: Lily.
Lily teed it up for him.
>> Phyllis: Makes perfect sense.
Honestly, she wanted to steal
the company out from under you.
Now, she's mad, so she would
have no problem giving Victor
some big, fat, juicy secret
about Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Billy: And then he runs with
it because he wants nothing more
than to see me go down,
especially if he's pulling
the trigger.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, they have
the same vision,
the two of them.
They're possibly in this
together, Billy.
>> Billy: When Lily was throwing
around her threats, I told her
she's got nothing to fight with.
And her response was,
"Want to bet?"
She knew.
She had Victor in her back
pocket as her secret weapon.
>> Phyllis: You know, Billy,
even if Lily did align
herself with Victor, she's...
She's not as smart and savvy as
she thinks she is.
>> Billy: What do you mean
by that?
>> Phyllis: Remember when you
told me that Victor warned her
about getting out because
he was going to come after
Abbott-Chancellor?
>> Billy: Mm-hmm, yes.
>> Phyllis: You know,
remember what I said?
I said it's very odd
that Victor would try to protect
someone outside of his family.
But what if it wasn't about
that at all?
>> Billy: He set a trap.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
What if it was just calculated
to manipulate her?
I mean, Victor really does
fancy himself the master chess
player, doesn't he?
>> Billy: So, Victor set up Lily
in order to use her.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
I mean, coming to her, you know,
with all this fatherly advice.
"You could trust me."
Maybe he's manipulating her
with that.
So, in turn,
she feels loyalty to him.
So she goes to him and arms him
with all this Abbott-Chancellor
intel so he can pull a sneak
attack like this.
>> Billy: Okay.
I mean, that sounds like
something Victor would do, but
Lily is smart enough
to realize when someone is
trying to pull the wool over
her eyes and she knows that she
can't trust Victor.
>> Phyllis: Oh, but it's not
about being smart or savvy.
She's emotional.
That's her weakness.
She truly thinks that you took
this company out from under her.
She's not quitting
without a fight.
She's not focused.
She's not thinking about
the long game.
>> Billy: Or she knows exactly
what she's doing and she doesn't
care about the fallout.
Even if it affects her, as long
as I go down.
>> Phyllis: Good luck to us
trying to prove this.
Victor is so good at covering
his tracks.
>> Billy: Well, we're going to
bet that Lily isn't.
And maybe she'll gloat.
Or maybe I will tick her off so
much that she'll let
something slip.
At least, we'll know we're on
the right track.
>> Phyllis: Right.
Do you think it's wise
to go to her?
>> Billy: Phyllis, I worked too
hard to get this deal done.
A deal that's going to take
Abbott-Chancellor to the
next level, so I am
not going to let Victor
or Lily take that away from me.
>> Lily: Billy is way too busy
tripping over his own ego to be
a threat. Trust me.
>> Devon: Sure, that's usually
the case, but don't forget that
we've underestimated him before.
Because he came to
Chancellor-Winters as
a temporary replacement for you.
And then weaseled his way into
a C-suite.
And despite our efforts,
he pulled that off.
>> Nate: He pushed for
the demerger, slapped his name
on Chancellor and fired you.
Now, he's king of the hill.
My guess is, it was his
ultimate plan all along.
>> Lily: Well,
it's not over yet.
And I am not giving up until
I'm back where I belong.
>> Devon: Okay.
Well, just remember that you
have options.
And my offer still stands for
you to come back to Winters
with us.
>> Nate: It would be great.
Our family working
together again.
>> Lily: I know. Thank you.
I really appreciate the offer.
But I'm not gonna let Billy
burn Chancellor to the ground.
>> Nate: I'm always
in your corner, Lily,
but you gotta know, this is
gonna get a lot uglier before
it gets better.
>> Lily: That's fine.
I'm ready for it.
>> Nate: Genius that you are,
there's no guarantee
you're gonna win.
>> Lily: Look, trust me, okay?
While Billy is going around
pretending like he's this
master dealmaker, my plan is
already in place.
And when he realizes what's
happening, it's gonna be too
late to stop it.
>> Devon: And what exactly are
you going to do?
[ phone pinging ]
>> Lily: Well,
that's fascinating.
>> Nate: What? Who is it?
>> Lily: It's Billy.
He wants to meet.
>> Devon: Why does he want
to meet you?
>> Lily: Because my plan is
already working, okay?
And he is feeling the heat.
>> Nick: Look, it's absolutely
not your fault. Nothing is gonna
happen to your mom.
>> Faith: What if I had just
stayed awake?
>> Mariah: Yeah, and if
we hadn't have left.
But you know what? We did.
So, let's not play
the blame game, okay?
When you saw Sharon at the
coffee house and you told her
that we needed her to come home
for Faith, did it seem like she
had any clue what
we were planning?
>> Nick: Like I said,
she, uh, she was with Daniel
and she seemed contrite,
remorseful.
I don't know.
It seemed like there was
something off about it.
>> Mariah: Like it was an act?
>> Nick: Maybe.
>> Faith: What if Mom figured
it all out?
Left town to avoid us?
[ phone pinging ]
>> Mariah: Oh, it's from Sharon.
>> Nick: What does it say?
>> Mariah: The man that I was
supposed to meet with wanted to
speak with her directly,
so she decided it was best
to take the meeting herself.
>> Nick: That's it?
>> Mariah: Also, she's sorry for
the last-minute change in plans
and that she didn't
let me know sooner.
>> Nick: I mean,
it almost sounds legit.
>> Faith: Maybe it is.
Maybe Mom felt she needed
to do this.
Take the meeting, prove that
she's getting better, that her
meds are finally working, and
she's pulling herself together.
>> Mariah: Yeah, I really want
to believe that.
>> Faith: But you don't, do you?
You think Mom is in trouble.
>> Mariah: I'm not saying that
Sharon is in trouble, okay?
There's a lot about this
situation that makes total
sense and there's some
that doesn't.
Like her leaving in the middle
of the night.
>> Faith: What do you think?
>> Nick: I got to be honest.
Uh, for her to leave
spur-of-the-moment on this
business trip,
I don't know. I mean,
Sharon's a mom first.
Nothing comes before
her children.
And for her to leave after I
told her that you needed her?
Doesn't sit well with me.
>> Faith: But I did tell her
it was nothing urgent.
>> Nick: After she texted you,
after she left town.
>> Faith: So, you are worried.
>> Mariah: When you spoke to
Sharon at the coffeehouse,
are you sure that
she didn't suspect anything?
>> Nick: I don't know.
I-- I told her that
I would drive her home,
but she insisted on driving
her own car.
She said she would be right
behind me.
>> Mariah: And instead,
she waited until we were gone
and Faith was asleep
and packed a bag and left.
>> Nick: I'm afraid she may have
used this business trip
as an excuse to run.
>> Mariah: Well, there's only
one way to find out.
>> Sharon: I had to tell them
something, all right?
>> Cameron: Nick, those girls,
they're smart, they're worried
and they know something's up.
So, you got to know they're
gonna call that hotel in
Madison to make sure
you showed up.
>> Sharon: Oh, I've got
that covered.
I did a remote check-in
from my phone.
So, as far as that hotel is
concerned, I'm there.
>> Cameron: I don't care
what the hotel thinks.
It's what Nick thinks
that matters.
And Faith, Mariah,
they're probably calling that
hotel right now.
>> Sharon: Stop.
>> Cameron: Here's
a fun thought.
What happens when Mariah calls
the guy that you're supposed to
have a meeting with and he
doesn't have any idea what the
hell she's talking about?
>> Sharon: Please!
>> Cameron: She is gonna run
straight to Nick.
And then what are you gonna do?
How are you gonna talk your way
out of that?
Or what, are you just gonna--
you just gonna run away
and never go home again?
>> Sharon: I said stop!
>> Cameron: You are in a bind
of your own making.
It doesn't look good.
>> Sharon: Everything was
so last minute.
I did the best I could.
>> Cameron: Oh.
I'm starting to suspect
that it isn't your best.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Phyllis: Lily tried to screw
you over and now she's playing
the victim?
Where does she get off, thinking
that she could run your
family's company?
Why did Jill give her
control anyway?
That's my question.
I mean, you tried
to make it work.
Where'd that get you?
Oh, it got you
a knife in your back.
[ phone pinging ]
>> Billy: It's Lily.
"Unless you're willing to give
Chancellor back to me,
there's nothing to say."
>> Phyllis: Give Chancellor
back to me?
This is crazy.
Where does she get off making
demands like this?
>> Billy: I don't know.
But we're gonna find out.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Lily: Oh, it's Billy.
What a surprise.
>> Devon: Why don't
you ignore it?
>> Lily: Are you kidding?
And miss what he's gonna say?
I don't think so.
Hello.
>> Billy: Well, I wasn't sure
you'd pick up.
>> Lily: Oh, and miss you
telling me that you're in over
your head running
Abbott-Chancellor alone?
>> Billy: Actually, things are
going great over here.
But we need to meet up.
>> Lily: I'm not gonna
waste my time.
>> Billy: Lily, I know what
you're up to.
And you're making
a serious mistake.
>> Lily: I'm making a mistake?
I mean, you're the one
who sounds worried.
You need some help?
>> Billy: Actually, I'm hard
at work here.
And let me guess.
You're on an all-day
coffee break?
>> Lily: I'm gonna hang up now.
>> Billy: Wait, Lily.
I'm worried about you and what
you're getting yourself into.
>> Lily: Oh, you're worried
about me?
Where was this worry when you
were kicking me out the door?
>> Billy: Believe it or not,
I'm trying to give you
a lifeline.
>> Lily: No, you fired me, okay?
And I don't have time for this.
>> Billy: No, you're gonna have
to make time.
>> Lily: Bye, Billy.
>> Billy: Damn it.
>> Devon: So, Billy really wants
you to believe that he's worried
about you?
>> Nate: Does he have reason
to be?
>> Lily: No, of course not.
Just Billy being Billy.
Trust me, I have everything
under control.
>> Devon: Are you sure?
>> Lily: Sorry,
are you doubting me?
>> Devon: No, I believe in
you 100%. You just haven't
shared this plan of yours
with us.
So, maybe if you do that,
we can help you.
>> Mariah: Voicemail.
Hey, Sharon, it's me.
I was just calling to check in
about the meeting.
Let me know if you need
any help prepping.
Okay, I love you. Bye.
>> Faith: What now?
>> Mariah: Why don't I go
to Madison?
I can track Sharon down.
I can see how she's doing.
>> Faith: You just showing up
like that, what if it freaks her
out and she really takes off?
>> Nick: Well, we don't know
for sure that your mom knows
we were planning an intervention
or that she took off
because of it.
>> Mariah: I won't let her know
that we're concerned.
I won't confront her.
I'll just claim that I'm up
to speed on the negotiations,
see if she needs any backup
in the meeting.
We can do the meeting together
and then come home together.
What do you think?
>> Nick: How soon
can you leave?
>> Cameron: Did you just send
Mariah's call to voicemail?
Boy, you are hitting it out
of the park today.
>> Sharon: Well,
what would I say?
>> Cameron: I don't know.
Um, I'm fine prepping
for the meeting.
Everything's under control.
Maybe, I don't know,
throw in some mom crap so they
maybe believe that you're
the mom they want you to be.
>> Sharon: I just need some time
to think, okay?
>> Cameron: Well, for God's
sake, I hope you get
to the thinking part soon
because you are not doing
yourself any favors.
Unless this is what you want.
>> Sharon: What is that
supposed to mean?
>> Cameron: Maybe you're trying
to get caught.
>> Sharon: Oh, that is
ridiculous.
>> Cameron: Is it?
But it seems to me like you're
intentionally making
bad choices.
Trying to give yourself away
because we all know
what happens then.
Nick, the hero, rides
to the rescue, saving little
old you yet again.
>> Sharon: That is not what
I want.
>> Cameron: Are you sure,
Sharon?
Because I know just
how smart you are.
How capable.
And how when it comes time
to bury the knife,
you don't hesitate.
So, I don't think you'd be
making these asinine mistakes
if you didn't want
to get caught.
>> Sharon: Well, maybe I am not
clever enough.
Maybe this whole thing is
a disaster.
I mean, obviously, I'm past
the point of having
any rational thoughts.
Look at me for God's sake.
I'm talking to a dead man who
once wanted to kill me.
>> Cameron: I loved you.
>> Sharon: You are a madman
who is only in my head.
And maybe the reason why you're
here is because I have gone
over the edge.
Maybe I do need my family
to intervene.
Maybe I do need to be put away!
>> Devon: As tough as you are,
you don't need to do this alone.
>> Nate: We've got your back.
Whatever you need.
>> Lily: Well, thank you,
but I can handle myself.
>> Nate: We know you can, but it
never hurts to have backup.
>> Lily: Look, why don't you
just have some faith that I can
hold my own against Billy,
or anyone else, for that matter.
>> Devon: Okay. Sure.
Yeah, I guess we'll then just
cheer you on from the sidelines
and be ready to celebrate when
you have Chancellor back
in your hands.
>> Nate: Where it belongs.
Good luck.
>> Lily: Well, thank you,
but I don't need luck.
Bye.
>> Devon: Bye.
>> Billy: I'm glad I caught you.
>> Lily: Are you for real? Are
you actually stalking me now?
>> Billy: No, I just thought
I could buy you a cup of coffee.
>> Lily: Okay, don't do that.
Don't try and be charming.
And if you think that you're
gonna bully me, I promise you,
it's not gonna work.
>> Billy: I wouldn't dare
do that, Lily.
>> Lily: Okay, great.
Well, I'm gonna go on my day.
>> Billy: Actually,
we need to talk.
>> Lily: Okay, I'll start.
I'm gonna get Chancellor back,
and you're not
gonna see it coming.
>> Billy: I know exactly
how you're coming at me.
And I'm telling you right now,
it's not gonna work.
>> Nick: You didn't eat much
breakfast.
>> Faith: I'm not hungry.
>> Nick: Hey, um,
do you remember that time
you were just
a tiny little thing,
and you decided that you wanted
to spend all night
in the backyard by yourself just
to prove you were a big girl?
>> Faith: Yes.
>> Nick: Mom set you up
with that little tent, filled it
full of snacks,
gave you a flashlight.
You remember that?
>> Faith: Yeah. And I lasted
about 20 minutes.
The rustling in the bushes,
that owl, all of those noises
seemed so much scarier
in the dark.
I couldn't get back
to the house fast enough.
>> Nick: And what'd your mom do
when you came running into
the house?
>> Faith: Told me that sometimes
it's easier to be
brave together.
And she went outside with me,
and we counted the stars,
ate the snacks.
And we saw the owl fly,
and it was beautiful.
It's one of
my favorite memories.
>> Nick: Then, who made you
the best bacon and eggs
you've ever had in your life
the next morning?
>> Faith: You.
>> Nick: That's right. It's me.
Listen, this family is so much
stronger than any scary noises
in the dark.
And your mom is the strongest
of all of us and the bravest.
Faith, she's gonna be okay,
all right?
We're gonna make sure of that.
>> Sharon: Go away. It's over.
I'm done. I do not want this.
I do not want to be crazy.
>> Cameron: You finished?
>> Sharon: Go away.
I want you gone.
This is over.
>> Cameron: No, you don't,
Sharon.
And now that you've gotten all
that fear and that anger out of
your system, now we can start
the real work.
>> Sharon: Agreed.
Like getting you out of my head
and getting my sanity back.
>> Cameron: Oh, let me
ask you something.
Exactly how happy were you with
all that so-called sanity, huh?
A sad, boring little life,
shuffling along, dreaming of
the past, never admitting
to yourself what you deserved,
what you lost.
But now your eyes are open.
You know what you want,
and you know what you gotta do
to get it.
And that's why
I'm not going anywhere.
You need me.
>> Sharon: No, I don't.
>> Cameron: Sharon,
my one purpose is
your happiness.
How to get it.
And all those ideas bouncing
around in your head, who else
can you share those with, huh?
No one, me.
>> Sharon: I shouldn't even be
having these ideas.
>> Cameron: See, that's your
problem right there.
Stop judging yourself.
Stop doubting.
Stop running.
And let's get to it.
>> Sharon: But... my family.
>> Cameron: They are not
your salvation, Sharon!
They are your reward.
But in order to get
that reward, you're gonna have
to right the wrong that was done
all those years ago.
You do that, and you will have
everything you have ever
wanted, starting with Nick.
>> Sharon: You don't know that.
>> Cameron: Oh, I do.
I do think about it.
Instead of having to save you,
you're gonna do what you need
to do to save yourself.
And he will see that,
and he'll feel that power,
and he'll be drawn to it.
And he'll realize
he never should have left
in the first place.
>> Sharon: Why do you even care?
You hate Nick.
>> Cameron: I do.
And...
Oh, it kills me to say this,
but...
I finally see it.
You never could have loved me
the way that you love him.
And even though I'm dead
by your hand...
God help me, I still love you.
And I want you to be happy.
So, let me help you with this.
Just think of it as my gift
to you.
>> Sharon: But so many things
could go wrong.
>> Cameron: No, no, baby,
we won't let that happen.
Because starting now,
you are taking control.
You're gonna make a plan,
and you're gonna see it through.
I know that you've got
the courage and the strength
to make this happen.
I do.
But remember something.
It's just as important to be
smart enough not to get caught.
>> Nate: Should we step in?
>> Devon: No,
I think we should
do what Lily asks and trust
that she can handle herself.
If things get out of hand,
we'll step in, though.
>> Lily: I mean, really,
how desperate are you ambushing
me like this?
>> Billy: That's not
what this is.
>> Phyllis: Hi.
>> Lily: Hi.
Uh, this is
a private conversation.
>> Phyllis: I'm aware of that.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
you're still here.
>> Phyllis: Yes, I'm with him.
I am Abbott-Chancellor's
new COO.
>> Lily: Wow.
Wow.
Are you kidding?
I mean, could you possibly
stoop any lower?
[ Lily laughing ]
>> Phyllis: Um,
I'm sorry, but I can't
imagine anything lower
than pretending
to be partners with someone
and then screwing them over.
>> Lily: Excuse me?
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
Billy, he trusted you to run
Abbott-Chancellor with him,
and what did you do?
You double-crossed him.
[ Lily chuckles ]
>> Lily: Okay, you clearly have
one side of the story.
>> Phyllis: You're getting
what you deserve.
>> Billy: Phyllis, do you mind
grabbing me a Danish?
>> Phyllis: I'm showing
my loyalty,
something you know
very little about.
>> Lily: Wow,
your guard dog
is trained so well.
>> Billy: Actually,
Phyllis agrees with the vision
for Abbott-Chancellor,
and she's ready to work towards
a common goal without all
the ulterior motives, you know?
Because that's what
I'm looking for in a COO,
someone I can trust
that won't lie to my face.
>> Lily: Oh.
Did Chance lie to your face?
Is that why you got rid of him?
Or was he too honest with you
about how you can't run
Abbott-Chancellor without me?
>> Billy: Actually, Chance had
very specific expectations
on his position at the company,
and I didn't think that he had
the experience for that,
so I accepted his resignation,
and I wished him well.
>> Lily: Oh, okay.
Well, clearly by
your latest hire,
you're surrounding yourself
with yes people.
>> Phyllis: Um...
my goodness, for your
information, I'm partly--
>> Billy: Actually,
you know what?
Phyllis speaks her mind.
It's one of the things
I appreciate about her.
And she's got
a fantastic corporate background
and a hell of
an IT background as well,
so I think she's
very well-prepared
to handle the company.
>> Lily: Yeah.
Well, I mean, until she decides
to fake her own death again,
then I don't know
what you're gonna do.
>> Phyllis: Oh, my goodness.
That was uncalled for.
>> Lily: If you think that
you can trust Phyllis,
you're an idiot.
>> Billy: Well, maybe.
Because I thought
I could trust you.
>> Lily: Okay,
well, if there's nothing else,
I'm gonna go now.
>> Billy: No, there is
something else,
starting with Odyssey Seven.
>> Lily: What about
Odyssey Seven?
Trouble with your negotiations?
>> Billy: Negotiations
were going just fine
until someone got to the CEO,
and he started to pull back.
>> Lily: Yeah, he probably saw
the numbers again and realized
what a bad deal it is.
>> Billy: No, it's
a fantastic deal,
and he knew that.
You got to him, Lily.
>> Lily: Oh, my God.
I got to him?
>> Billy: There was only
three people that knew
about this plan.
Me, you, and Chance.
And Chance doesn't play dirty.
>> Lily: Oh, but I do?
>> Billy: Well, you said
you wanted to fight back,
even though I was well within
my rights to fire you,
given your betrayal.
So maybe you figured out that
if you did take this
to the court of law,
you were gonna lose.
So what'd you decide?
You decided to swim big,
and you went to Victor,
trying to convince him
to sabotage the deal.
>> Lily: Oh, my God.
You think that Victor and I
are teaming up?
I mean, Billy,
you're so paranoid.
>> Billy: Lily,
you know damn well
the CEO of Odyssey Seven
isn't gonna answer your call.
But he definitely
will answer Victor's.
>> Lily: Mm-hmm.
Okay, where's your proof
for these accusations?
>> Billy: I respected you.
I mean, you were one of
the few in the corporate world
that had real integrity,
but this move,
taking confidential
information to Victor,
that's beneath you.
So, if there's
any chance for you,
you will realize that
you will be ashamed
of what you just did.
>> Phyllis: What he said.
>> Devon: Is everything
he said true?
[ Lily scoffs ]
>> Lily: I mean,
can you believe, Billy,
like, how paranoid he is?
And Phyllis as his COO?
I mean, that is ridiculous.
>> Nate: Come on,
be straight with us.
Are you really colluding with
Victor to take down Billy?
>> Devon: Are you
out of your mind?
[ purse clattering ]
>> Cameron: There it is.
That's the look
I've been waiting for.
You ready to do this?
>> Sharon: I know
what needs to be done.
And it's going to work.
It has to.
[ Mariah sighing ]
>> Mariah: Mom?
Hey, Mom, it's-- it's me.
You in there?
>> Lily: What if
I did go to Victor?
>> Nate: The man doesn't
help people out of
the goodness of his heart.
>> Devon: No, he's
like the definition of ruthless.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
maybe I need some
ruthlessness on my side.
>> Nate: And what if it comes
back to bite you?
>> Lily: Our families have
known each other for years.
Devon's gonna be
his son-in-law.
He's been very supportive
of my career.
>> Devon: You know, he doesn't
care about stuff like that.
He's cut out his own family
when it comes to business.
Who the hell are you?
>> Lily: Okay, I am confident
that our partnership
is going to work.
>> Devon: Your partnership?
You already have
a deal with him?
[ Lily sighs ]
>> Lily: Okay, fine,
I will tell you.
I am going to help Victor
take Billy out
and take back control of
Abbott-Chancellor,
and then he's gonna
reinstate me as CEO.
>> Nate: Did you get that
in writing?
Based on my history
with the man,
I guarantee you
he has other plans.
>> Lily: Because
you were burned, Nate?
This is a very
different situation.
>> Nate: Lily,
I've been on the inside.
I've seen the man in action.
Victor is not going after
a white whale like Chancellor
and not planning to
keep it in the family.
>> Devon: Yeah, I'm gonna have
to agree with Nate,
because, I mean,
whatever he promised you,
just be careful, will you?
>> Lily: Okay, do you both think
that I'm that stupid?
>> Devon: No, nobody thinks
you're stupid, Lily.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
I know what I'm doing.
I know what Victor's capable of.
So instead of worrying about me,
why don't you have some respect
for what I'm capable of?
>> Nate: We do not mean
to upset you.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
then stop underestimating me.
I know what I want and how
I'm gonna get it, okay?
I will show you.
>> Billy: Well, Lily definitely
tried to play it cool,
which is to be expected.
>> Phyllis: Yeah,
she has a chip on her shoulder.
>> Billy: Okay, Phyllis,
tell me what you got to say.
>> Phyllis: Well, she's guilty.
I mean, she's definitely guilty
for conspiring with Victor
so he can torpedo
your deal with Odyssey Seven,
so he can sink your company
before it even has
a chance to launch.
>> Billy: I'm right
there with you.
>> Phyllis: What do
we do about this?
>> Billy: Before we go there,
I just have to say,
you showing up at
Crimson Lights, I'm not a fan.
I was expecting to have
a one-on-one with Lily.
>> Phyllis: All right,
you're not a fan. I'm sorry.
You know what it showed Lily?
It showed that
you have reinforcements.
>> Billy: That's one way
to look at it.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, it's the only
way to look at it.
Billy, come on.
I'm your wingman.
You know, I'm here for you.
I believe in you.
I believe in this company.
I believe in everything
that you stand for.
I'm here through
the thick of it.
I am standing right beside you.
Hell, I'm standing behind you.
Come on, if you have
a problem with that,
we need to rethink
our arrangement.
>> Billy: Something's telling me
that we're gonna make
a very good team.
>> Phyllis: Oh,
there is no doubt in my mind.
>> Sharon: I see it now.
This is the only choice I have.
>> Cameron: And the scales
have fallen from her eyes.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Sharon: It's Mariah, again.
[ Cameron sighs ]
>> Cameron: She's called
twice already.
They may be on to us.
She better answer it.
>> Sharon: Hi, sweetheart.
I'm sorry I missed your call.
I'm getting ready
for the meeting.
Can I call you back
when it's over?
>> Mariah: Uh,
actually, that's the thing.
Uh, I'm here in Madison,
outside your hotel room.
Where are you?
