At Chancellor-Winters, Billy attempts to mend fences with Lily by bringing her gifts and suggesting they grab a drink together.

CBS
Billy is charming, yet he understands that Lily won’t be easily swayed by mere snacks, even her favorites.
Acknowledging her capacity to handle stress, he opens a bag of chips, and as Lily indulges with a crunch, he takes the opportunity to update her on Jill’s health situation, sharing that her treatment is progressing positively.
This moment serves both as a casual check-in and a subtle attempt to reconnect on a more personal level amidst their professional tensions.
CBS
They sit on the sofas and he says that hee still hasn’t told Jill that he betrayed her confidence by telling Lily what was going on. Lily shakes her head.
She hates keeping secrets from her brother and wonders it’s a part of Billy’s plans.
CBS
Billy knows Devon dislikes change but finds adding Abbott to the company name valid.
It will take nothing from Devon or Lily.
He tells her after it happens, phase two is them taking over the company.

Billy sees nothing wrong with that. What about his work? Billy thinks they need to manage Devon.
Lily doesn’t like that and calls what Billy’s wanting a power grab.
Billy asks if she’s too afraid to go after something she knows she deserves.
Her love for Devon is holding her back. She thinks he’s gambling with the future of her company but he disagrees.

Tucker tells her this won’t work.
Audra disagrees and stomps off.
CBS
He goes after her to try to discuss it. She’s done.
Tucker says the board told him they’re loyal to him.
She thinks that they’re lying.
CBS
She gets into the elevator and Tucker follows.
He asks how she pulled this off so she says she was the one on the ground, doing all the work, negotiating deals and overseeing all details.
The board saw her do it. He’s just a name Ccd on emails.
She calls his name toxic. He reminds her she’s made sketchy decisions but she owns it.
He can’t commit to anything. Not her, Ashley or Devon.
CBS
He likes the chase and then lies and changes his mind and lets them down because nobody’s as important as his “fragile little ego.”

She knows it caused friction and hopes there won’t be lingering effects.

Diane calls her and Jack as solid as ever and hopes what happened that night doesn’t have lingering effects on Nikki’s marriage.
Nikki assures it’s fine but Diane shares that Victor stopped her a few days ago and they agreed that Jack being Nikki’s sponsor was a bad idea from the get-go.
Nikki thinks they should move on then to avoid a feud.
Diane agrees she’d like peace and wishes Nikki nothing but the best.
CBS
She suggests leaning on her own husband instead of a new sponsor if they’re happier than ever.
If they’re so happy, she shouldn’t feel the need to “seek out an old friend who feels obligated to pick up the phone every single time you call.”
