Lily resigns from Jabot and Cane is forced to figure out a way to stay connected to her, so he asks Colleen to test for Jabot. Jack has gathered all his siblings together in New York to talk about taking back Jabot, at the end of the conversation Tracy and Billy agree to give him their proxy, but Ashley is cautious and in wait and see mode. Glo wants Kevin to see if Kay is really cracking up, Kay has confided in Esther that she is off but Kevin is not privy to that side. Esther and Chloe have a heartwarming visit, where Chloe admits that she does not love Cane but maybe another brother. Lily tells Chloe off.
Cane: You know, I thought you're, uh, senior year was supposed to be easy. Colleen: Hmm. Not for me. Cane: Well, you did make it this far, didn't you? Colleen: Well, thank you, but now I have to figure out how to turn an Art History degree into a paying job. Cane: Really? Now see, I thought you were, uh, just gonna make lattes all your life. Thank you very much. Good luck. Colleen: Thank you. Chloe: Ugh. Thanks. Cane: It's decaf. You want sugar? Chloe: No, it's not good for the baby. - Cane: Well, I'm going to work. Do you have any other paperwork you want me to sign? Chloe: Uh, no, that was it. Uh, just the insurance forms, and now he is covered under your health plan. Cane: You taking the rest of the day off? Chloe: Yeah. Cane: You need to go and see your mother. Chloe: (Scoffs) You can forget it. Cane: Chloe, your mother is a good lady, and she deserves to see that ultrasound picture from you, not from me. Chloe: Oh, is the C.E.O. of Jabot embarrassed to show his mother-in-law the kid in utero? Cane: Your mother needs to know her grandchild. Chloe: I'm sorry, is that a law that I missed or something? Cane: Listen to me, I have given up a hell of a lot to do right by this child. Now I think it's your turn. So suck it up and make nice with your mother. [SCENE_BREAK] Esther: Mrs. C.? I-I thought you went to the office. Kay: Esther, I'm afraid something is terribly wrong with me. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Jack is out of town, and Sharon is off doing whatever it is that Sharon does. And besides, the pool house is still in renovation hell, which means I have the right to entertain my guests here. Kevin: Well, I don't know that that's true, but I'll take a risk. So... dig up any dirt on Jeffrey? Gloria: No time. But I do have a brilliant idea and I need your help. Kevin: I thought you wanted me to keep my hands clean? Gloria: Oh, come on, Honey, a little dirt now and then won't hurt ya. Kevin: What exactly do you have in mind? Gloria: You, Angel, are one of the lucky few who have survived the firings at Jabot. Kevin: Yeah, that's 'cause I do my work and stay out of everybody's way. Gloria: And that's why Katherine Chancellor likes you so much. Kevin: Yeah, I guess she does. Although, I hardly ever see her. Or anyone else there for that matter. Gloria: Well, dear heart, that's all about to change. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Thank you for the plane ticket. Jack: I had a feeling first class might get your butt in that seat. Traci: (Laughs) Oh, that's the secret for getting Billy to come to visit. Anybody got tips for getting him to return phone calls? Ashley: Actually, yes. What you do is you pretend that you're a sexy young thing and you're just dying to see his etchings. Traci: No. Ashley: That works. Billy: You--that--shallow. You're shallow. That's not even nice. Ashley: Shallow, but true. There wasn't a beautiful woman left in Hong Kong whose heart hadn't been broken by you know who. Billy: Jackie, come on, Jackie, would you please defend my honor? Come on. Jack: I'm not sure there's that much left to defend. Guys, can we just hold off the chitchat for a little while? Ashley: Why are we here? Traci: He needs our proxies for Jabot. Jack: It is the only way for the Abbotts to regain what is rightfully ours. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: That's right. I need to see the artwork by the end of the week, all right? No excuses. Okay. When, uh, Jean Blevins gets in, could you ask her to call me? [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: And I was going to call Jill, but I couldn't remember her number. Now how many times have I called her number? A hundred thousand? I mean, I just simply couldn't remember her number, Esther. Esther: It's in your auto-dial, Mrs. C. Kay: What auto-dial? Esther: Mrs. C., I told you this forgetting things was serious. Did you call your doctor like you promised? Kay: Well... I'll have my, uh, assistant do that when I get back to work. Well, I, uh... I really must go. Esther: Look, Mrs. C., when you're worried, then I'm worried. Kay: Yes, I know. Esther: Now when you get to work-- Kay: I said I would have my assistant make the appointment. Esther: No, it's not that. I want you to thank Cane. He sent me a copy of the ultrasound. I got it this morning. Kay: Oh, that was very thoughtful of him. Esther: I've always liked him. He'll be good for Kate. Kay: Frankly, she, uh, should've shown you the ultrasound herself. Esther: Maybe we'll be close someday. When she needs a free babysitter. Kay: Do you know it's all my fault? For sending her to boarding school? Esther: No, you gave her a terrific opportunity. Kay: You should've made sure that she came home for the holidays. Esther: But she didn't wanna come home. She was always with her friends, going skiing at Christmas or the beach during spring break. Kay: Well, I don't know, perhaps she thought we didn't like her being here. Esther: Absolutely not. You gave Kate a terrific education. She'll understand what that means once her own baby is born. Chloe: Okay, "A"--for the hundredth time, my name is Chloe. And "B"--I really hate to break it to you, but, um, I don't think I'm gonna be getting over the whole "Shipped off to a boarding school" thing any time soon. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: We combine all of our stock and take over Jabot together. Kevin: Then Jack stabs you in the back the second you take control of the company. Gloria: That's not gonna happen. He goes anywhere near Jabot he gets sued. That's why he needs a front man, or in this case, a front woman. Kevin: Oh, 'cause that's worked out so well for him in the past? The name Ji Min Kim ring any bells? Gloria: Forget about that. Jack needs my stock. I need his. But he also needs my smarts. Kevin: Your smarts? Gloria: Yeah, my smarts. Unfortunately, we still don't have enough stock. So I need Katherine Chancellor to sell me some of her shares. Kevin: Maybe when the Cubs win the World Series, Mom, and even then, I have my doubts. Gloria: Yeah, maybe the Cubs are due for a victory. Jeffrey and I ran into Katherine earlier. She called him William. Kevin: You call me Michael sometimes, and we don't even look alike. Gloria: No, this was different. Glazed look in her eyes and blank expression on her face. Another minute, she would've started drooling. Kevin: So how do I factor into this? Gloria: You are gonna find the evidence that proves the great Katherine Chancellor is losing her grip. Kevin: And what constitutes evidence? Gloria: Confusion, disorientation, anything that says, "I'm losing it and I'm ready to sell my shares." Kevin: She's a nice lady, Mom. I don't wanna set her up. Gloria: Oh, come on! This isn't just about me. I gain control of Jabot, and we all have so much money. You can buy Jana her own ashram. Kevin: I think I'd prefer a penthouse. Gloria: You can have that, too. Now... you said you missed, uh, being my partner in crime. Here's a chance for a reunion. Kevin: Well, I didn't actually want to commit a crime. Gloria: Honey, it's not a crime. I just told Jack that I already had Katherine's shares. Kevin: You lied to him? I'm shocked. Gloria: And I lied to Jeffrey. And he found out. So if you don't wanna see your mommy divorced and broke and probably working for you again, you're gonna get your butt back to Jabot and make nice with Katherine. Kevin: Call me crazy, but I'm in. Gloria: Thanks, Partner. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: To the Abbotts. And our triumphant return to Jabot. Long awaited. Much deserved. Ashley: Don't you think you're jumping the gun just a little bit? Billy: All right, what did I miss? Traci: Okay, Ashley refuses to give Jack her proxy, and I won't give him mine until she does. Billy: Why? Ashley: You know why. He's not supposed to have anything to do with Jabot. Not to mention, this whole plan hinges on some unnamed silent partner. Billy: Yes, but if Jack has found a way for us to get Jabot back, why don't we give him a shot? Ashley: Why do you wanna do this? Don't you have to go behind your mom's back? Billy: Oh, my mom who put me in the mail room while she made my bartender half-brother the C.E.O.? Yeah. Ashley: Well, you're not exactly in the mail room any longer, are you? Jack: You know what, Ashley? You've been at Forrester too long. Ashy: Excuse me? Jack: You've forgotten what it is to be an Abbott. Traci: Okay, that's enough, Jack. Jack: Dad ran this company, determined that it would be ours. It was ours. Traci: And no one is blaming you for losing control of the company, Jack. Billy: He's blaming himself. Jack: Ever since Dad died, I have been haunted. I sometimes feel like he's in the room with me. Ashley: Look, Jack, I miss Dad, too. Okay? Traci: I do, too. Every day. Jack: So let's fix this. Let's make right what I did wrong. Let's fix this mistake I made against our family, against our father. Ashley: (Sighs) Jackie... I would like nothing more than to see Jabot back in the Abbott hands, but... I'm not going to do anything underhanded, Jack. Jack: I'm not asking you to. Ashley: Yeah, and I've heard that before, too, and you turned around and hid right behind Ji Min. And that's why I left the company. Jack: I know that. And I'm sorry. And I'm not saying I've never done anything wrong. I'm saying I am taking all of you very seriously. I would not ask for your vote if I didn't think I had a real shot at this. I do. Just this once, I'm asking you to trust me. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: The colors will pop out, practically begging you to buy them. Lily: Urban chic. Sounds interesting. Cane: We're gonna call it, uh, Starblaze. Cane: You don't like it? Lily: No, I-I no. I mean, the whole campaign sounds amazing. Cane: Come on, what's wrong with it? Lily: Nothing. You just... you shouldn't run this by me. Cane: Why not? You're the, uh, Fresh Face of Jabot, and soon to be, uh, Starblaze. Lily: Well, actually, I came here... I came here to resign. [SCENE_BREAK] Esther: Are you hungry? I-I could whip you up a super healthy sandwich. Chloe: You know, I know that you love doing the whole servant thing, but it makes me itchy. Do you think that you could cut back on the hospitality thing? Yeah? Esther: Okay. Uh... did you see what Cane sent me? I'm going to frame it and keep it on my dresser. Chloe: Hmm. That's great. You could, uh, put it next to all those photos of you and me. Oh, that's right. There are no photos of you and me, 'cause I was off at boarding school. Esther: Oh, I was such a terrible mom, getting you the best education possible. Chloe: Guess what? They have really good schools here in Genoa City. Esther: Honey, I didn't send you away because I didn't love you. Chloe: Oh, could've fooled me. Esther: I know no matter what I say, it won't make you change your mind about that. Chloe: You got that right. Esther: But once you look into the eyes of your own baby, you'll fall in love with your own little girl or boy, just like I did with you. And you'll realize that every decision I made was for you. So you wouldn't end up like me. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: If it is too difficult to be around, I will keep my distance. Lily: You can't duck into your office every time I come down the hall. That's ridiculous. Cane: It shouldn't have to be this awkward. Lily: Well, Cane, how can it not be? Cane: Chloe and I have found a way to co-exist without wanting to kill each other, okay, so you--we don't have to feel guilty about being in the same room with each other. Lily: Yeah, but, Cane, it's because we haven't been in the same room that you and Chloe are getting along. Cane: Sweetheart-- Lily: If she sees us working together, then all that tension is gonna come back. Cane: You don't have to give up your career to make life easy for Chloe and me. You love your job. Lily: Yeah, I used to love it, but I don't anymore. Cane: Why not? Lily: Because it's not fun coming into the office when so much has changed. You and I aren't together anymore. And that really hurts. Cane: Listen to me, okay? You are the only thing that is keeping me sane. I need to see you, even if it's just at work. Please, please, just... say you'll stay. Lily: (Sighs) (Computer beeps) [Lily sees a ultrasound picture of the baby on Cane's laptop] [SCENE_BREAK] Ashley: This has been fun, but I'm late for a meeting. Traci: I better go, too. I have a chapters deadline on my book. Jack: So that's it? We're just gonna walk away from Jabot? Ashley: We all wanna preserve Dad's legacy, Jack. Traci: Look, I listened really carefully to everything you said today, Jack, and... I've decided to give you my vote. Billy: I'm with you, too. The way I look at it, I owe you everything, and Mom... Jack: Well, thank you, both. Ashley: So I guess it would be pointless for me to say move on and let this go? I figured. The deal stands-- possibly you'll get my proxy if you tell me who your silent partner is. Jack: It's critical that you trust me, Ash. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. Ashley: When the time is right, you'll get my answer. Jack: I'm not gonna give up, you know that? Ashley: I'd be shocked if you did. See you, Guys. Billy: Okay. Traci: Love you, Honey. Billy: Mm-hmm. Ashley: Bye. Billy: Great to see you. Ashley: Take care. Stay out of trouble. Billy: Yes, Ma'am. Billy: Jack, you got time for a drink? Jack: Do you have any idea how happy I am when I'm in a room with the three of you. Billy: Jackie, are you okay? Jack: Yeah. Sit down. Sit down. Billy: Okay. Jack: So how long are you in New York for? Billy: Uh, well, I'm leaving today, actually. Jack: You going home? Billy: Yeah, in a way. I'm heading back to Genoa City. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: No, no, no, Mom, Mom, I just got here. So I don't know yet whether or not Katherine is ready for the senility home. Gloria: Just don't look for the obvious things, Kevin. Look for little things. Like, uh, if she loses her balance or-- Kevin: Hello, Mrs. Chancellor, how are you? Kay: Oh, I'm fine. Thank you, Kevin. I'm just surprised to see you here. Kevin: Oh, well, surprised in a good way or a bad way? I haven't found a pink slip in the mail. Kay: Oh, I don't think you'll find one. It's, uh, it's just that I, um, I'm not used to seeing you in the office. Kevin: Oh, right, right. Well, you see, Jana gotten things pretty well taken care of at Crimson Lights, so, um... there's no point in my being there 24/8 anymore. Kay: I see. Well, I-I understand you have been telecommuting? Kevin: That's right. That's right, but... like I said, no more out of sight, out of mind. I wanna make myself, um, more accessible to my coworkers here at Jabot. Kay: Nothing wrong with that. Kevin: Right. Kay: Well, it was nice seeing you. Kevin: You, too. Hey, so, uh, how are you doing, Mrs. Chancellor? Kay: I have no complaints. Kevin: Well, you look well. Kay: Oh. Kevin: As a matter of fact, you look great. Kay: Are you hitting on me, Kevin? Kevin: Oh. [SCENE_BREAK] Esther: I'm glad you have Cane to help you raise the baby. He's good husband material. Chloe: Yeah, well, I stayed clear of tiny the plumber types. And it's not happily ever after at all. Esther: I-I know you don't love Cane, but as you raise your child together, who knows? Maybe you'll find love in a dirty diaper? Chloe: Okay, that's gross. And we're not going to be finding love anywhere, so get over that fantasy fast. Esther: Honey, Cane could get over Lily. Chloe: No, it's not gonna happen. And I swore off love a long time ago. Esther: Oh, no. Why? Esther: Oh, Sweetheart, who was the rat that broke your heart? Chloe: You know, it doesn't matter. Because it's never going to happen ever again. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Well, don't quote me on this, but I'm damn proud of you, little brother. You really turned your act around when you went overseas. Billy: Thanks, Jackie. No more gambling. House of Kim's in the black. Jack: And all that on a jet-setter lifestyle? Billy: But it also helps to have a very generous brother who's funded the very expensive lifestyle of which I've grown accustomed. Jack: And that is our little secret, right? Billy: I haven't told a soul. Jack: Good. So how long are you staying in Genoa City? Billy: Until it gets boring. Jack: Boy, that could be one day or one month. I need you to make this stay a little more permanent. Billy: Jack, I-I have a business to run in Hong Kong. Jack: So run it by satellite. You can be there for all the important decisions. When I started sending you money, I told you the day might come that I would need to ask you a favor in return. Billy: Let me guess, the day has arrived? Jack: I need you to move back to Genoa City, Billy. There's something I want you to do for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: You know, I'm trying to form a connection to the baby, and I thought that having a picture of him on the-- on the computer would help. Lily: You don't have to apologize. You should have that up there. Cane: I didn't wanna hurt you. Lily: No, it didn't hurt me. I mean, the baby is obviously healthy and... that's great. Cane: Yeah. I can change the screensaver if you want. Lily: No, Cane, no, don't do that, okay? You are being a good dad, as you should. That's what matters. And that's why I have to get out of your way. So that you can look at that screen and not feel guilty. (Knock on door) Jill: Oh, I'm sorry for interrupting. Did you tell Lily about the new campaign? Lily: Yeah, he--he did. And, um, it sounds wonderful, but unfortunately, I can't be a part of it. Jill: What? Lily: Cane, thank you for understanding. Cane: Yeah. Lily: And thank you for giving me this great opportunity. You have been so wonderful to me and, um... I really appreciate it. Jill: What happened? Cane: I lost her. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Well, I-I promise you that next time I'm in the city I will call you. Yeah. Wow. Well, since you put it that way, I can't wait either. Okay, good- bye. Wow. Jack: Some things never change. Billy: Hey, I got it from your rule book, Buddy. Jack: Yeah, my rule book is out of date. I'm a happily married man now. Billy: Again. Jack: For good, this time. Billy: Uh-huh. Jack: Let's not make this all about me. Let's stay focused on our mission. Billy: What is our mission? These details are sketchy at best. Would you like to fill me in on your secret silent partner? Jack: All you need to know is that my silent partner has given us access to enough shares of Jabot to get controlling interest. Billy: With Ashley's proxy. Jack: Exactly. When the time is right, believe me, you'll be the first to know everything else. Billy: Aye aye, Captain. What are my orders? Jack: If the Abbotts are to regain control of Jabot, I need more than your proxy. Billy: What do you need? Jack: I need an inside man at Jabot. Someone who can feed me confidential information. I need to know exactly the right time to strike. Billy: Inside man. Jack: Just like old times, Buddy. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: The answer is no. Gloria: I didn't even ask the question. Kevin: Which is, did I find out whether or not Katherine is gaga? Gloria: Well, then I say you're not trying hard enough. Kevin: Mom, she thought I was coming on to her. Gloria: Well, that proves she's nutty right there. Kevin, just keep talking to her. Some delusional pearl will slip out. Kevin: Either that, or the only crazy one here is you. Gloria: Ha ha. Our financial future depends on this. Kevin: I will get right back to you on that. Um, Mrs. Chancellor, hi. I'm glad you're here. I was filling out this compliance form, and wouldn't you know it, I just completely forgot today's date. Kay: Uh, Tuesday, uh, September 30th. It is the end of the month. Kevin: Right you are. Right you are. Gosh, we just have to get through October, and then we're already at the presidential election. Kay: Mm-hmm. Well, there's enough-- enough politics in the office already. Kevin: Right, right, but you have to admit, it's be a really exciting year, you know, with Barack Obama and, um... that other guy. Kay: John McCain. Kevin: Ah. Right again. Right again, John McCain. Kay: Kevin? Kevin: Yes? Kay: Are you feeling all right? You know, Amber told me about your tofu and green sprouts, blue sprouts wedding, whatever. Are you sure that Jana's feeding you properly? Kevin: Yeah, yes, yeah. Kay: Because if she isn't, you know, there's-- there's a hamburger place around the corner, and you could get yourself a quarter-pounder. It'll get your mental juices flowing again. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Okay, bye. All right, the modeling agency is sending over some photos of their best models to replace Lily. Cane: What about the other Fresh Faces of Jabot? Jill: Well, considering we gave them the boot when we decided to focus solely on Lily, I doubt they'll be too eager to come back. Lily just left us at the worst possible time. Cane: Can we not talk about Lily? Jill: Oh, Darling, I am so sorry. I'm completely forgetting about your feelings on this. Cane: How do I get up in the morning? How do I get on with my life? Jill: You'll find a way. Because you have to. And I'll promise you one thing, every day it's gonna hurt less and less. Listen to me, as much as I hate losing Lily, it's gonna be so much easier for you not having her around here. Cane: Then what do I do when I see someone walking around the corner that looks like her or I hear a laugh that sounds like hers? Jill: I'm so sorry. Look, you've made a commitment to Chloe. And you've even managed to convince me that this marriage is best for the baby. Do you not believe that anymore? Cane: I don't know. But I know it's easy to make a commitment when you-- when you love someone. I don't love Chloe. I don't love Chloe. [SCENE_BREAK] Chloe: I'm not in love with Cane. And I'm not going to force myself to fall in love with him. Esther: I had a crush on an older man years ago. It was magic. He was handsome, funny, very popular. Chloe: Well, I know where this is going. He didn't know you were alive, right? Esther: Oh, no, he did, and I was absolutely thrilled. But he wouldn't go out with because he was worried what his friends would think. Chloe: Well, he sounds like a jerk. Esther: He shared his PB&J sandwich with me once when no one was looking. Chloe: Uh... his--how old was he? Esther: 11. I was 10. Chloe: Uh, your unrequited love was a fifth grader? Did he have a cool lunchbox? Esther: Oh, very. You know, it had this red monster truck on it, with flames coming out of the tailpipe. Oh, God, I can't believe I remember his lunchbox. Chloe: You were in love. Esther: This is so embarrassing. I went online the other day to see what he was up to. Chloe: Did you find him? Esther: Well, there are a lot of Tommy Cassidys around. I guess I should've added his nickname--Pee Wee. I just hope your true love wasn't as ridiculous as mine was. Chloe: Well, aside from the Pee Wee part, they actually sound very similar-- um, charming, funny. Esther: Handsome? Chloe: Extremely, except that he had a lot of other qualities that were not so... Esther: Like? Chloe: Like he was... selfish and arrogant... and, uh... oh, yeah, he was unfaithful. Esther: You still love him? Chloe: Almost as much as I hate him. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Your mother told me Lily quit. I'm sorry. Would, uh, you like me to talk to her? Cane: No, we shouldn't try to push her. Kay: Well, I thought she was at peace with Chloe moving back in again. Cane: Yeah. Yeah, I thought so, too. I'm telling her how much I love her, and then she, uh... she sees this. Kay: Oh, Dear. Cane: I know. I feel like I've been disloyal to her. Kay: Oh, come on now, the baby is what came between you. Cane: Grandma, this picture makes me feel like I'm starting to accept my baby. Kay: Well, that's nothing to feel guilty about. Cane: Yeah. Well, that's why Lily quit, though, isn't it? She wanted to give me the freedom so I could fall for my child. Kay: Well, Cane, she also gave herself the freedom to move on. It must be very difficult for her to see you starting a new life without her. Cane: That's the last thing I wanted to put her through. Kay: It's very painful for you, yes, but think of what dragging it out like this will do to Lily. Cane: Yeah, you're right. But I can't bear the thought of not seeing her again. I have to figure out a way that I can stay connected to her. [SCENE_BREAK] Colleen: You quit your job? Lily: I didn't have a choice. It's too hard being around Cane every day, knowing that we can't be together. Colleen: Yeah, and I bet seeing the ultrasound didn't help, right? Lily: No, it didn't. Especially his reaction to it. He acted liked I caught him doing something wrong. I mean, he shouldn't feel that way. He shouldn't feel like he has to choose between me and his baby. Colleen: I'm so-- I'm so sorry. Lily: Yeah, you know what the worst part was? It was knowing that the last time I saw an ultrasound was with Cane... when we lost our baby. Colleen: Oh. Lily: It's all right. It's just... you know, it's just seeing that healthy baby on his laptop just made me realize that... all of our dreams are gone. Colleen: And Chloe gets everything she wants, right? She's such a bitch. Lily: Yeah, but you know what? Actually, I'm not surprised things turned out the way they did. Colleen: Why? Lily: Because Cane's Uncle Langley wasn't a real dad to him. And he's always wanted his own family. Colleen: Uh, Lily, Chloe's not family, okay? She's barely even his wife. Lily: It doesn't matter. When I saw the test results that said that Cane was the father, I knew I was gonna lose him forever. Colleen: Yeah, but he doesn't have to be in love with Chloe to be in love with his baby. Lily: I need to accept the way that things are and just... move on. Colleen: And... how do you do that? By changing careers? Lily: Well, for starters. Colleen: Are you thinking about dating again? Lily: I don't know. I'm open to it. Colleen: Seriously, if some great guy walks in, you're gonna consider it? Lily: Yeah, I guess. I mean... what do I have to lose? Lily: Chloe? Chloe: Oh, hi, Lily, I didn't even see you. Guess my mind is elsewhere. Lily: Well, I just wanted to let you know that, um... I'm no longer a threat to you. I quit my job at Jabot today, so... I don't have any more ties to Cane. Chloe: Oh. Okay. Lily: But I want you to know that I didn't do it for you, and I didn't do it for Cane, either. I did it for myself. So now, I hope that you and I never see each other ever again. [SCENE_BREAK] Cane: So Lily quit her job today. Colleen: Yeah, I know. She told me. Cane: You know, you were saying earlier that you might be looking for another job. Colleen: You know of a museum that might wanna hire me? Cane: No. But I know of a cosmetics company that might. How would you like to test for the new Fresh Face of Jabot? [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Oh, finally. What took you so long? Kevin: Well, I do still have a job there, Mom. I had to set up my office, reacquaint myself with my coworkers and charm my way back into Katherine's life. Gloria: Uh-huh, uh-huh, did she confuse you with Michael or have her dress on backwards? Kevin: No. No. We went over detailed stock reports. I asked her the same questions that paramedics ask stroke victims. I even asked her for directions to this new heavy metal club that opened up on the other side of town. Gloria: And she passed all the tests? Kevin: Yeah, with flying colors. Kevin: Look, Mom, you're gonna have to find another way to pry that stock from her hands, okay? 'Cause I'm telling you, Katherine Chancellor 100% has her act together. [SCENE_BREAK] Esther: Oh, Mrs. C., I had the most wonderful visit with Kate. Kay: Oh, is she home from school? I thought the fall term had just... had just started. [SCENE_BREAK] John: Well, I must say, it, uh, was so nice to see you all back together again. Jack: Yeah, it was, wasn't it? I didn't get Ashley's proxy, but I'll get it eventually. John: Oh, no doubt in my mind, Jack. Jack: And those shares, combined with my silent-- I cannot believe I am calling Gloria my silent partner. Combined, though, they will give the Abbotts control of Jabot again. John: I know that thought's going to make you quite happy. Jack: I did it for you, Dad. John: Oh, Jackie, don't do it for me. Don't get caught up in memories of how things used to be. Jack: Wait, this is what you want, isn't it? John: Look, Son, you have a bright, beautiful future ahead of you. You have to look forward, not back. Jack: Regaining control of Jabot is looking forward. I've never been comfortable anywhere else hell, I started "Restless Style." I never felt that comfortable there. John: Ah, don't be a sore loser. Jack: No, I'm not in fact, Nick did me a favor. Now I can focus on getting Jabot back. And with my little brother as my inside man, I'd say it's gonna happen sooner rather than later. John: Well, now I wish you the best of luck, but you be careful how much you share with your little brother. He doesn't think twice about biting the hand that fed him.
