Meanwhile, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) was on cloud nine. She ran into Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and they talked about her wedding. He expressed his concerns and she took them in stride. It was all very adult. So much so, Billy ran to the office to brag to Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) about his maturity.

Lily didn’t find Billy’s big boy attitude as endearing as he thought she would, though. She called him out on his continued meddling in Victoria’s life. Billy retorted and thought he had every right to have a say, especially now. As far as he was concerned, this wedding was a huge mistake.

Also bragging about being cordial was Victoria. She ran into Devon at CL and sang Lily’s praises. His sister is one amazing woman. Devon was proud of her too. Devon then went on to run into Jack at the park. He was surprised to hear Kyle was moving to Milan. Well, good luck to him. Those conversations got Devon thinking. He picked up his phone and called a friend for help.
