Abby and Devon sit at the bar. Abby can’t believe Phyllis crashed Christine’s bachelorette party… And now Phyllis is getting close to Cane.

Devon thinks Cane has become the person that Phyllis has waited for her whole life… A ruthless and uncaring person who’s willing to destroy people’s lives and businesses for profit.

Cane walks up to their table. “That’s a harsh indictment from my former brother-in-law!”

Devon asks if he hurt his feelings… Nothing he said was a lie!

Cane says he didn’t mean to cause any harm.

Abby reminds him that three people died at Cane’s chateau… One of them was Chance, who is her child’s father.

Devon wonders if Cane has figured out who he wants to be… A ruthless billionaire, or a parent to his kids?

Cane says he made a promise to Jill, and he’ll make the same promise to them… There will be no attacks in Genoa City.

Lily walks up and asks if he thinks they’ll believe him if he keeps repeating himself. Does he think they’re stupid?

Cane hopes he can convince Lily he’s sincere. He offers to buy her a drink and explain.

Lily says she isn’t in the mood to be lied to again… They’ve talked before, and he doesn’t give her any answers.

Cane says he can’t lose his kids and he knows he needs to make things right with her before he can talk to them.

Lily says he can buy her one drink, and he can’t expect anything from her. They head to a separate table.

Cane tells Lily that he’s ready to come clean… She’s probably heard about his AI program that would destabilize a company so he could buy them out.

Lily asks why he wanted to take out over the companies.

Cane says he liked the power and wanted to prove that he was better than Jack, Victor, Jill, and even Katherine. He admits he was misguided and thought it would impress Lily and their children.

Lily asks him to explain why he thought that taking over the companies in town would impress her.

Cane says he was on top of the world as Dumas, and he wanted to share that with the people he cared for. He wanted to be seen as a legitimate businessman.

Lily says that the money that Cane inherited came from a scam. What did he learn from this?

Cane says he learned that he made the same mistakes that his father did, and he realizes that he kept Lily and his children in the dark. Colin had told him that all the money in the world won’t solve his problems, it would make him feel empty. He’s finished with using the AI program, though. He swears to do whatever it would take to convince Lily.

Lily says that destroying the AI would convince her… Or he could give her the AI program, and she’d have her tech team at Winters destroy it.

Cane says Jill, Victor, and Jack asked him to give the AI to them, too… Everyone wants to get their hands on it! He asks her to make her case.

Lily laughs. Victor and Jack would probably use the AI against each other. Jill would probably want to destroy it, but she’s a wildcard. That’s another reason to get rid of it.

Cane says he has a new plan. He wants to use the AI for good. He wants the chance to prove it to her.

Lily doesn’t trust him, and doesn’t trust the AI program, either. He won’t be able to change her mind!
