Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) went to Billy’s (Jason Thompson) office at Abbott-Chancellor. She gave him a plant and told him about celebrating with her children. Phyllis was thrilled that things were getting better for her and her kids. Of course, Phyllis finally suggested bringing her Daniel (Michael Graziadei) back to the company. Billy said he would think about it, but he pointed out they had more pressing concerns.
Later, Phyllis and Billy sat at the bar at the Athletic Club, where she continued to express excitement about her son’s job prospects. She apologized when she realized Billy wasn’t doing well, reminding him of his recent breakup, being hit by Adam (Mark Grossman), and Victor (Eric Braeden) declaring war on him. Billy was worried about how Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie (Sienna Mercuri) would be affected. However, he insisted Victor drove the conflict. Despite Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle)offer to buy him out, Billy remained resolute in keeping Abbott-Chancellor to solidify his mom’s legacy.
Phyllis questioned whether Billy was risking too much and hinted he might be driven by the thrill of risk-taking, which could harm his kids. Billy dismissed her concerns, claiming he was prepared for the fight. He believed Victoria wouldn’t want a family war and would eventually side with him against Victor.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant) returned to their apartment, surprised to find Heather (Vail Bloom) missing.
Sharon (Sharon Case) was at home. She told Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that she had been in a dark place and was trying to regain control. Although they were supportive, Sharon’s troubles seemed far from over because she realized she still had Heather’s phone, so she texted Daniel that Heather had to leave for a while.

Cameron (Linden Ashby) reminded her of the consequences of Heather’s death and cautioned her not to tell the truth in therapy. Sharon resolved to move forward.
At Society, Diane told Jack she wanted to hire somebody to replace Kyle at Jabot. Later, when Jack stepped away, she and Audra got into an argument over Kyle’s career. Jack apologized to Audra, which infuriated Diane. However, Jack told her they couldn’t alienate Kyle’s business partner.

Meanwhile, at Crimson Lights, Billy spotted Chelsea. They talked he had told their kids about their split, attributing it to work. Though things were awkward between them, they both hoped the discomfort would fade over time.
