Jack is in his office on a video call with Jill.

Jill asks him who’s in trouble now… And how bad is it? Whatever it is must have to do with Billy!

Jack asks how long it’s been since she’s talked with Billy.

Jill shrugs. It’s been a while, and their last conversation didn’t go well!

Jack says Billy thinks that Jill gave him the raw end of the deal, and given Cane a free pass!

Jill scoffs. That’s not the case! She wants to know if Jack thinks the same; why is he calling?

Jack says Cane is involved now… And the stakes have gotten higher!

Jill laughs. Jack knows how to get a girl’s attention! She asks if Jack feels like she cheated Billy out of Chancellor.

Jack sighs. How he feels isn’t important, it’s her and Billy’s issue to resolve!

Jill agrees. She wonders why everyone is thinking Cane is a threat. She assumes he’s back because of Lily… What has Cane done that has everyone in town in a tizzy?

Jack says she should fly back and see for herself.

Billy knocks on Jack’s office door. “Do you have time for a family talk? I could use some right now!”

Jack ends the call with Jill and invites Billy in. He closes the laptop.

Billy says he’s not there to rob the place. He worked things out with Sally. Sally laid into him, and now he’s back and focused on Abbott Communications. He’s there to convince Jack to be the sole investor once again.

Jack sighs. He’s not sure he can do that!

Billy apologizes for pushing too hard for Jack to pull the funding from Abbott Communications. He promises this will be the last time. Is he questioning Sally’s committment?

Jack shakes his head. This isn’t about Sally. Billy was convinced that Cane would give him his hopes and dreams! He hopes he’s done with Cane and Chancellor.

Billy says he doesn’t care about what Victor and Nikki do with Chancellor.

Jack would love to believe it, but Billy pushed him too far this time. He’s left him with no choice; his words mean nothing anymore!

Billy says it’s not about the money… It’s about Sally, who will be running the show as the CEO, and he’ll be the second-in-command, the COO.

Jack says he can’t play these back-and-forth games anymore. He’s sorry he can’t help him.

Billy sighs. He says he’ll make this happen either way.

Jack wishes him the best of luck.

Billy leaves the office. “Sure you do.”
