Romance and business also made for a complicated week for others. Sally scored a huge victory for Abbott Communications by convincing Jill to be their secret investor. However, her honesty compelled her to tell Billy the truth. Billy, still smarting from how his mother treated him at Chancellor, was furious and wanted to reject the money, but Sally stood her ground, telling him that their partnership had to be built on trust, and he needed to trust her on this. Meanwhile, Billy and Jack finally made peace, with Jack promising to support his brother no matter what, even if he wasn’t funding his new venture.

Elsewhere, love was in the air for Danny and Christine, who were busy planning their wedding until Phyllis showed up to rain on their parade. Phyllis sneered that their reunion would never last, but the happy couple stood strong, their love unshaken by her bitter words.

Sadly, Tessa faced more heartache when she visited Mariah. Mariah, who is in some sort of treatment facility, coldly pushed Tessa away, telling her not to visit anymore and leaving Tessa to tearfully rip the Queen of Hearts playing card in two.
