Lily bumped into Lauren at the jazz club. Lily told Lauren about the meeting she'd had with Nikki and that she was about to meet with Victor. Lauren applauded Lily for her success at Chancellor and advised her that Victor could be a little cagey. “Family comes first to Victor, business or not, and he expects loyalty, family or not,” Lauren said.

Chelsea told Sally that Adam deserved to be loved the way that Sally loved him. Sally was not impressed that Chelsea was Adam’s champion. Sally told Chelsea that Billy had divulged that Adam and Chelsea had cheated on him before. Adam overheard as Sally said that the only way she could guarantee that Adam couldn’t hurt her again was if she never had anything else to do with him.
When Sally saw Adam approach, she told him that he and Chelsea needed to figure things out, and Sally walked away. Chelsea wanted to know what that meant, but Adam lied and said he had no idea. Adam wanted Chelsea to believe that Billy would never forgive her. Chelsea said she was letting Billy have the space he'd asked for, and she was not giving up hope. “That night never should have happened, and we both know it. From this moment on, we will not discuss it again,” Chelsea said firmly.
At Abbott-Chancellor, Billy met with Chance, who was upset to learn that Billy had fired Lily. Chance asked if Lily had admitted that she had been using Billy and had planned to backstab him. Billy said she had not said it, but he'd seen it in her eyes when he'd accused her. Chance said that Billy was ruthless for turning on Lily without proof. Chance compared the corporate world to a real war and said that if Billy went into a battle thinking he would lose, then the cost would be more than he could imagine.
Billy said Chance sounded like he was ready to jump ship. Chance was undecided but said he was concerned that if Billy was willing to turn on Lily, someone that Billy respected and was close to, then Chance wondered what stopped him from turning on Chance. Billy shrugged and said, “Nothing. Just don’t give me a reason to.”
Billy explained to Chance that he needed loyal people who wanted to be part of the team, so they could turn the company into a powerhouse. “I’m not going to let anyone stop me from doing that,” Bill added. Chance said Billy seemed rattled, and Chance wondered if Billy’s anger stemmed from feeling betrayed by Lily. Billy told Chance he felt betrayed by everyone.

Lily said she knew Jill had other priorities, but Billy was impulsive, undisciplined, and arrogant.
Lily said she'd invested too much to walk away from the company, and she was dedicated to honoring Katherine’s legacy.
