Colin pretends to have a bad cold and gets Jill to admit that she doesn't want to lose him. Jill also admits to Colin that she is afraid that she will fall in love with him again and find out later that he only used her to get Katherine's treasure. Chelsea is upset when she sees comments on Twitter calling for a boycott of her clothes, because she is the wife of a child killer. Neil tells Chelsea that Jabot will stand by her. Billy also shows Chelsea support telling her she isn't to blame for Adam's actions. Chelsea tells Billy he isn't to blame for Delia's death. When Chelsea gets a call from someone who doesn't say a word, she tells Adam she knows it's him. Billy confronts Jack about his attempted bribe to Kelly, and Jack advises Billy to do whatever he has to do to stay away from Kelly. Jack apologizes to Kelly and asks her to lunch. Kelly doesn't accept the invitation and tells Jack she will work with him, because she is the events coordinator for the Athletic Club. After that, though, they should ignore each other. Willa Ward arrives in town from Washington to tell Dylan that she has information that he needs to know about Ian, her, ex-husband, but she wants money to tell him. Avery and Dylan refuse to pay for the information and tell Willa to leave.
Jack: Hey, little brother. What brings you by? What's the occasion? Billy: Just came to give you a little something. Jack: Made out to me. Wh-- what's it for? Billy: Oh, I thought I was speaking your language, Jack. That's a bribe... for you to stop bribing other people. [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: So, this is command central. Voilà. But as our special-events coordinator, you will have to know how the kitchen functions for offsite and onsite catering. And if you get a chance, introduce yourself to the wait staff and the front desk. I'm sorry. Is this too much too soon? Kelly: No. I've handled 25 kids who all needed to take a potty break at the same time. I think I got this. Lily: Okay. Kelly: I mean, it's a lot, but I'm excited to get started. Lily: Good. I'm glad. Hilary: Excuse me. Lily: And top of your to-do list is to keep out the less desirable elements. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: "Let's make a bonfire full of clothes made by Chelsea for Jabot. #Boycottkidkillerswife." And there's like 100 more. Neil: Hey, don't do that, all right? You know what this is? It's just a few random people on the internet. Chelsea: Who hate me and my clothes. I had no idea. Neil: Okay, um, you've had a lot of stuff to deal with recently, you know? I didn't bring this to you to upset you. I just wanted to make sure that I was with you when you did see it so, you know, we could figure out how to proceed. Chelsea: Proceed? You're dropping my clothing line, aren't you? [SCENE_BREAK] Dylan: You know, there's something going on with Stitch, and he won't tell me what's up. Avery: Well, I'm sure he'll tell you when he's ready. Dylan: Yeah. You know what? Maybe he just needs a bribe. Yeah, maybe he needs some of that double-caramel salted chocolate pie. Is that -- is that what it's called? Avery: Uh, close enough. Dylan: Yeah. Yeah, I think that he could probably really use some of that, because it's -- it's good. And I'm not really -- I'm not asking for myself. Avery: Oh. Dylan: I'd make sure that Stitch got all of it. Avery: Yes, well, how noble of you. Dylan: Yeah. Mm. I almost forgot. What, um -- what recipe did you end up submitting to the contest? Avery: I didn't bother. There's too much going on. Dylan: What are -- what are you talking about? The hard work was done. Avery: No. Dylan: You whipped up the creation. You had the recipe. Avery: No. Let me show you what I had. Let me show you. Where is it? Here. This. This is what I had. This is not a recipe. This is -- this is a sugar- stained mess. And you know what? This contest is for real chefs, so... Dylan: You are a real chef. Avery: I'm not a real chef. I'm an attorney. And I wouldn't expect a chef to represent me in court, so why should I expect anybody to choose my creation that I whip up? Dylan: Uh, because it's amazing. Avery: You're biased. Dylan: Totally. Avery: Mm-hmm. Dylan: But you do make a great pie. And I'm completely objective when it comes to desserts. Avery: Yeah. Dylan: But you are the best. There's no one better. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Come on, give me something. Really? Nothing? Nothing?! Oh, stop laughing at me, you old sadist. I swear to God, Katherine, if this treasure turns out to be trash, I will cross over into the other world and wring your neck. Colin: [Coughs] I really want a seat for that one. Jill: Oh, my God. What's wrong with you? Please, I don't need a cold. Colin: What do you want me to do? Jill: I don't know. Stop breathing. Colin: I don't think it's a cold. Jill: Well, whatever it is, please, would you take your germs and go back to bed? Colin: Okay. [Coughs] Jill: Colin! Colin: I'm okay. I'm fine. Jill: No, the hell you are. I'm taking you to Memorial right now. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Obviously you talked to Kelly about the incentive I offered her to leave town. Billy: Incentive? That's classy, Jack. That was a Victor move. Jack: There's no need for that. Billy: It's hard to be superior to the mustache when you're pulling garbage like this. Jack: You asked for my help with your marriage. Okay, I went too far. Billy: She's a good person, Jack. Jack: I'm not arguing that. Billy: And you treated her like trash. Jack: I treated her like a threat to your marriage, Billy, and given that you're standing here defending her honor, maybe she is. Billy: The only person I want is my wife, damn it. Jack: By the way, she's lovely. She's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny. She is also tough. She's not gonna be pushed around by the likes of me, certainly not for money. For what it's worth, she put me in my place. Billy: Well, good. Great. I'm glad to hear it. Jack: Even if that's true, it doesn't mean she doesn't think you are the answer, still. Billy: She knows I love Victoria. Jack: So, when did Kelly tell you about my offer? Billy: I ran into her at Crimson Lights. It was a public place, and before you ask, yes, I told Victoria. Jack: How did she react to that? Billy: Oh, she took Johnny and went to D.C. to see Reed. You know, obviously, things are going really well. Jack: Billy... Billy: You know, I just hope that she misses me and comes home sooner rather than later. Jack: Yeah, when she does come back, make sure you're not talking to Kelly. Billy: Hey, that wasn't on purpose. Jack: Get a hobby. And I'm not talking cards or ponies or lonely women. Go for a run. Try to sweat this out. And if you run into Kelly, turn around and run in the other direction. [SCENE_BREAK] Kelly: Well, I could introduce myself to the wait captain now, if you like. Lily: Oh, no. That's fine. Hilary wasn't staying. Hilary: Actually, I am here to discuss actual business, not childish games. The fashion show ring a bell? Lily: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm really booked up. I'll let you know if I have an opening, which I don't think will be any time soon. Hilary: It must be wonderful to know that your family will always hire you despite the fact that you're completely unprofessional. Lily: Yeah. Kelly: Well, that wasn't awkward at all. Lily: What, that? Oh, please. Kelly: So, let me get this straight. You hate her because she tried to ruin your marriage. Meanwhile, everybody at the charity event found out about me and Billy, and yet you hired me, adulteress me. Lily: Listen, I have a history with Billy, so I know what he's like, and I know that as much as he loves Victoria, people do crazy things when they're hurting. Whereas Hilary -- she is vicious and destructive. She actually drugged my husband and took pictures of him in bed. That's not a one-time mistake. That's a sociopath. So, she might be playing all nice right now, but people don't just change, okay? And Jack and my dad might be willing to forgive her, but I'm not. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Chelsea, you have my absolute word that Jabot is committed to you and we're not thinking about dropping this fashion line. All right? We have faith in your vision. What Adam did, he did, not you. Chelsea: But all of this bad publicity -- Neil: You know what? Why don't you let me worry about that? It's not your problem. Chelsea: Well, it is my problem if everybody hates me. Neil: Okay, how do I explain this to you? The -- you know, the internet -- full of trolls, right, egging each other on, but it's -- it's not really about you. How could it be when they don't even know you? All right. I see you're overwhelmed. I do. And if it's too much for you, then we can cancel it until -- Chelsea: Cancel?! Neil: Okay, so we can postpone it, you know? Give you some time to grieve and feel normal again. Chelsea, whatever you need, okay? Hey, you do understand that you're a large part of this Jabot family, right? And we -- we got your back, Kiddo. Come on. Chelsea: Thanks, Neil. Sorry. Sorry. It's just been -- I could really use some family right now. Neil: Yeah. Chelsea: Other than Jeff and Anita. Neil: Yeah, no. I completely understand, and you don't have to apologize. So, um, in light of this, why don't we, um -- why don't we just postpone it until you're up for -- Chelsea: No, I don't need to postpone it. I'm ready. I want it. So, as long as you're behind me, I promise I will not let you down. Neil: [Chuckles] Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Avery: I am going to get some more coffee. Will you be here when I get back? Dylan: Uh, yeah. I own the place. Avery: Oh, right. Why are you looking like that? Dylan: Uh, maybe after all these years, I'm just -- I'm just happy. And you did that for me. Avery: Aww. Be right back. The barista will be right back. Willa: Oh, um, I'm actually looking for the owner. Avery: For Dylan? Willa: Uh, yeah. Dylan: Hello. Avery: You two know each other? Dylan: Avery, this is Willa Ward. Avery: Ian's ex-wife. Willa: It's terrible to be known for that. Dylan: What are you doing here? [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Connor, do you see where I dropped it? Billy: I, uh -- I'm pretty sure he can't talk, yet. [Chuckles] What's up? Chelsea: I dropped my wallet. No idea where. I'm trying to retrace my steps. The last thing I need right now is someone finding my I.D. and pulling identity theft on me. Although, actually, maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. Let them be me. See how they like it. Billy: Well, I can watch the little guy so you can look. Chelsea: Yeah, but you're running. I didn't know you run. Billy: Yeah, well, that's Jack's fault. I hate running. So, uh, why don't you wallet hunt, and I will babysit. Chelsea: Oh, thank you. Mommy will be right back, okay? Okay. Billy: Hey. Running sucks. You got the right idea -- riding. Oh, oh, okay. I get it, huh? Oh, you're all cute and nice with mommy, and I get the crabby. All right. Here we go. Oh, come here. Oh, there we are. Hi. Hey. Whoo! Hi, there. Wow. You are gonna be a heartbreaker, aren't you, hmm? Those eyes. Those eyes. Hey. [SCENE_BREAK] Willa: And since you left me your name and information... Avery: You came all this way from Idaho? Willa: Well, I figured that if it was important enough to you to track Ian down, that I needed to come. Did you find him? Dylan: Ian found me. Willa: So, you saw him face to face? Dylan: Yeah, he's conned a lot of people. And he almost did the same thing in Genoa City. Avery: And he landed himself in jail as a result. Willa: [Scoffs] I bet he never thought that anyone would catch him. So...you got all the answers you were looking for? Dylan: I know who and what the man is. I just hope I didn't inherit much from his gene pool. Willa: I didn't come here to cause trouble, but if you really want answers, then there's more you need to know. [SCENE_BREAK] Colin: [Coughs] I'm serious. No hospitals. Jill: All right, well, I'll get a thermometer. At least let me take your temperature. Colin: No. I'm fine. Really, this is --don't want you catching this. Jill: If you're fine, there's nothing for me to catch, you dolt! Colin: I know. How about some tea? Jill: Oh, perfect. Tea is great. That'll just make you cough less and you won't be so pale. Colin: What are you? A taller version of Esther? Get me some tea. This could be one of them parasites, you know, that gets up your nose, gets in your ear... Jill: Stop it. I am serious. All right, if you won't let me take you to a hospital, I'm gonna call a doctor to come out to the house. Colin: Oh, you bloody Americans want a doctor for everything. Please, this is -- this is [Coughs] Fine. It'll pass. I'm cold. It's freezing in here. Jill: Since when do you just give up this way? Colin: I'm tired, that's all. I'm just so tired. Jill: No, that is not all, Colin. There's something seriously wrong with you, stubborn fool, and I refuse to accept it. I refuse! I will not lose you! Colin: You admitted it. [Laughs] You admitted it! You do care about me after all! [Laughs] I gotcha! [Laughs] [SCENE_BREAK] Willa: There is more to hear if you want to. Dylan: I don't -- I don't think so. Ian Ward is slime, okay? With all due respect, I know you married him, but the truth is we know exactly who Ian Ward is. He takes advantage of young women. Just meeting the guy makes -- makes my stomach turn, so no. I don't think there's anything else to know. Willa: One more piece of information might put things in a different perspective. Avery: What piece? Willa: That's for Dylan to know, if you want to hear it. Avery: Exactly why did you come here? Willa: I came here because what I know will matter to you. Dylan: Ian tried to pull this on me -- dangled information that I just have to know. This is a game, and I'm not interested. Willa: It's no game. It's very real. Avery: Okay, then say what you came all this way to say. Unless you can't or you won't. Willa: I just need to know that there's something in it for me. [SCENE_BREAK] Colin: Oh, she loves me. She loves me not. Oh, my little Florence Nightingale loves me. Jill: My God, you are scum! You're a pig! Do you not have one sincere bone in your whole damn body? Colin: Well, as a matter of fact -- Jill: Oh, stop it. Faking an illness? That is deranged. Colin: Denial is an illness. I mean, I see it -- the fear in the eyes, the tremor in the voice. My little baby was scared she was gonna lose me. Jill: Yes, I was scared I was gonna lose the key to the damn mystery that Katherine dropped on my head, okay? And for all I know, you have crucial information that you haven't shared with me. So, please, feel free to drop dead, only tell me what you know first. Colin: Just admit it that you care and we had great times and we can have them all over again. Jill: Great times? We had sex. Colin: Fantastic sex. Jill: I -- Colin: We couldn't keep our hands off each other, remember? Jill: I hate to tell you this, Colin, but, Honey, you were not my first. Colin: But I was your best. And you were mine. And it wasn't just sex. It was stronger. It was deeper. It was -- it was better. It was -- it was irresistible. Now, I'm here to remind you we could do all that again. Just say the word. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: My assistant confirmed all the arrangements and our meetings in L.A. My bag is packed and in the car, and I am ready to go. Well, let me ask you. How was the meeting with Lily? Hilary: Um, we're just gonna do that via e-mail instead. Neil: Because why? Hilary: Scheduling conflict for Lily. Neil: Okay. Meaning that she still has an issue with the working arrangement. I can't believe this. Why are we still tal-- Lily: Uh, my issue is the fact that the fashion show's been my baby since the beginning. And I should be able to assemble my own team, including the Jabot liaison. And the fact that Hilary has no track record and she could very easily sabotage this event -- I think my decision is solid. Hilary: Sabotage? Lily: Yes, sabotage. Neil: Okay, okay. Wait a minute, now. Now, Lily, Jack and I -- we made the call. It's our decision. Right? We've heard you out. The fact remains Hilary has already been hired. She's on the project, end of story. Now deal with it and move on. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Kelly? Kelly: Hey, Jack. Don't worry I'm not hiding out just hoping that Billy randomly drops in to someone else's office. Jack: Why are you here? Kelly: Actually, I belong here. I work for Lily now. Jack: She hired you? Kelly: Yeah. She hired me, tainted goods that I am. Which means -- oh, you guessed it -- I'll be staying in Genoa City. So if you want to try to run me out of town, you better up your game. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Oh! Look what I found. And it's all in there. Well, no poor sucker gets to be me. Oh, what's wrong? Was he fussy? Billy: No. No. He -- he's perfect. He's amazing. Chelsea: Billy. He reminds you of Delia. Billy: Yeah. He reminds me of Johnny, too. You know, after all, they are half brothers, right? I can't help but think of Johnny at this age...and Delia, too. You know, when they say it goes by fast, they are not kidding. Every day you're apart, the time that you miss -- bedtime or -- or taking a bath... even the mess at breakfast. I lost my little girl. And if Victoria doesn't come home, I could lose my son, too. And, uh, Victoria is in D.C. with the guys, and I'm here trying not to chase her down, beg her to come home. Chelsea: She'll be back, Billy. Her life is here. Billy: I'm here, and I hurt her. Chelsea: Well, it wasn't the first time. And she forgave you. Billy: [Scoffs] That? Well, just to be fair, you did drug me. Chelsea: And you forgave me. Billy: Well, it's kind of hard to hold a grudge when you gave me one of the loves of my life -- Johnny. Chelsea: If you and Victoria weren't so good together I never would have felt comfortable giving up my rights to Johnny. And in a weird way, I feel like he was meant to be yours -- yours and Victoria's. Billy: If I lose her or lose both of them -- Chelsea: Okay, stop it. Stop. When you act pitiful, you make bad decisions. You -- you run off to Myanmar. You fall into bed with someone who isn't Victoria. As long as you're both still breathing... you still have a chance. Billy: You're right. No matter how bad things are, I can still -- I can try with Victoria. Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Billy: I should focus on that. Chelsea: Yeah. Billy: It's not like your situation. Adam was an awful human being. But he died. I know it hurts. Chelsea: It does. But sometimes I wonder. Do you think there's a chance that Adam could still be alive? [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: Okay. Clearly it was a mistake to resort to bribery. Kelly: Is that your attempt at an apology? Jack: No, it is not. This is. I am sorry. I was wrong. I mean it, Kelly. Kelly: Maybe your mistake was just bidding too low. By all means, try again. Jack: I'm not a glutton for punishment. Kelly: Neither am I. Which is why, if I'd known better, I never would have accepted your lunch invitation. Oh, how droll it must have been -- me telling you what a decent guy you are and you setting me up, waiting to offer me money to leave town. Jack: Or maybe you were right and I had a momentary lapse. Look, I-I thought I was helping my brother. I clearly screwed up. For what it's worth, I truly enjoyed getting to know you over lunch. Kelly: Just in time to chase me out of town. Perfect. Jack: I'd like to try to make it up to you. Kelly: Please, tell me how. Jack: I'd like to take you to lunch again. This time, no bribe for dessert. [SCENE_BREAK] Dylan: Ian put you up to this, didn't he? Just more mind games. Better yet, maybe even get some cash from me in the process. Willa: I haven't spoken to Ian, and I don't plan to. I came here on my own, and this isn't a shakedown, for goodness' sakes. It's practical. Avery: Well, I'm sure Ian thought he was being practical when he tried to blackmail Nikki Newman for $5 million. He's in jail. So, do you want to reconsider your last few statements? Willa: I came all this way on my own. It's only fair to think that I might be compensated for my time. Did I ask you for anything when you came looking for Ian? No. I helped you. Ian left me with nothing. I'm just looking for a little help, and I-I'm willing to offer you the only thing that I have of value in return. It's a fair trade. Avery: Yeah. Money in exchange for information that doesn't exist. You're as big a con as Ian. Willa: This is between you and me. Dylan: Avery's my girlfriend and my attorney. There's no one I trust more. And she's right. It's time for you to leave. Avery: Actually, you know what, Dylan? If she leaves, Ian's just gonna send somebody else, so I say we just press charges right now, end this garbage, and let you and this phony secret rot behind bars. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Oh, you are a thug and pain in my rear, and the last thing in the world I would do is you. Colin: I'm also the guy who's loved you like crazy all these years. I've chased you, I've bed you, I've wed you, and I'd happily stay on that merry-go- round just as long as I know you're gonna be there with me. Jill: Don't play me for a sucker. I am not a sucker. The only reason for all this love talk and this sex-on-a-desk talk is so you can con me out of my part in this treasure hunt. Colin: And you're gonna con me! That's all part of the game. Maybe somewhere along the line, we'll even get 'round to the fuzzy handcuffs. That's why I'm keeping a key handy. Jill: See? There? I left you there for the cops. I cheered when you were arrested, when you were deported, and this is the woman you love, you liar? Colin: Who said you have to trust the one you love? Jill: Anybody with half a brain. Colin: Because they don't have what we have -- fireworks and handcuffs and a treasure at the end of the rainbow. And all along the way, we're loving each other like crazy. Aren't we? Jill: You really are delusional if you think I'd fall for you all over again. Or an egomaniac. Or narcissistic -- probably all three. Colin: You know, actually, I'm an observer of the human condition. And that condition says that -- that we're equal in love. Jill: Did you know that Katherine pulled that same stunt on me, sitting right here? She pretended to need an ambulance so I would weep and wail, "Please, don't leave me." Colin: But you did. Jill: Yeah. I was conned. Colin: Into admitting the truth to the people who love you the most. It's kind of sad that that's what it takes to get you to do so. Katherine's gone, and you never had a chance to say goodbye. Jill: Oh, there was a goodbye. There was a lovely music box. Colin: And you're as mad as hell. 'Cause that's the way you like it. You love screaming at that picture. Jill: Well, what am I supposed to do, mope around here all hearts and flowers? Colin: Jill, I love you. I may be a poor, battered excuse for a husband, but I'm man enough to admit it. What about you? Jill: What, am I man enough? Colin: Jill, I'm serious about this. Jill: All right. I admitted it. I didn't want to lose you. Colin: Because? Jill: Because there's too much at stake. Colin: Your tender heart or whatever Katherine's left for us? Jill: I know you want me to say my heart. Colin: No, I want you to tell me how you feel. Jill: I'm scared, okay? Colin: You don't have to be scared to love me. I mean... on my battered honor, that's one thing that -- that you can trust about me. [Doorbell rings] Colin: Esther can get it. Jill: No. Esther's dithering about something. Colin: Jill! [Sighs] Jill: Oh, boy, Colin. You got to see this. Colin: Oh, what is it? Jill: This, Honey, is your true heart's desire. [SCENE_BREAK] Billy: Adam's alive? What? Chelsea: I know it's crazy, but maybe it's not. Billy: This is what you were fishing for the other day, isn't it? It's not closure. It's not understanding. You want me to say that Adam could be out in the world somewhere. Chelsea: Well, if there's a chance, then -- Billy: There's not. Chelsea: You can't know that, Billy. Billy: They found his watch. Chelsea: And no body. Billy: But the car exploded. Chelsea: There would still be a body. Billy: Well, maybe Satan crawled up and dragged him back home. Chelsea: I know you hate Adam, and you have every right to, but you were there in that car with him. Billy: Yeah, yeah. The car burst into flames. Chelsea: I don't feel like he's gone, Billy. In my heart, I really -- I don't feel like he's gone. Billy: Chelsea, do you know what grief is? It's waking up in the middle of the night thinking that your little girl just cried out for you, but she didn't. And part of you thinks it's a mistake, because how could a strong, little girl beat cancer and then get hit by a car? Chelsea: It's not like that. Billy: Adam is gone, okay? He died in that S.U.V. because of what he did, what he took from us. It was meant to be. And that is what I know in my heart. [SCENE_BREAK] Neil: Lily, listen to me. If you've got a problem with -- Lily: Uh, excuse us, Hilary. Neil: Wait. Lily, I'm talking to you. Hilary: You know, I've got some work to handle anyways. Neil: No. Hilary -- that's -- that's how you treat colleagues? Lily: Uh, first of all, she is not a colleague of mine. And this is how you treat your daughter? I am trying to be professional about this, but Devon is defending her, Jack hires her, and now you're making excuses for her. It's like I'm the only person here who remembers what she's capable of. Neil: Okay. Lily: And the fact that she is so eager to be a part of this fashion show sets off red flags for me. Neil: Listen. Sabotage. Sabotage -- that's the word you used. That's what you said. Why do you think Hilary would tank the show? Lily: To make me look bad. Neil: And -- and -- and lose her job and everyone's trust? No, no, no, no. I-I really don't think so. Lily: Oh, my God, Dad. The element of surprise is what makes her so brilliant at what she does, and that is destroying people's lives. Neil: Okay. Hilary -- what she did to this family was after the lowest moment in her life while she was grieving the loss of her mother. Now, I don't want to be judged for all the bad moves I've made. Do you? Lily: You are being so naive to think that she's reformed. Neil: Enough is enough. Too much is foolish. She has a job to do and so do you. Stop making this personal. Lily: Oh, what? You defending her isn't personal? Neil: You -- ah -- [Clears throat] I-I imagine you heard much of that, right? I'm really -- I'm sorry. Hilary: She's right. You do make excuses for what I did. But I want you to know that I'm not gonna give you or Jack or anyone else a reason to worry. Neil: I already know that. Hilary: Okay, well, I did some research on Forrester Creations -- just some old group fashion shows. The last thing we want is some blogger saying that we're treading old territory, right? Neil: Ah, blogger, huh? Hilary: Oh, well, you know how they can be. Neil: Yeah. Hilary: We are gonna impress the fashion world. There is no doubt in my mind. Neil: Mine either. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: So, when would you be free for lunch? Kelly: Oh, you thought that I was going to say yes? Wow. That's some serious confidence you got going on there, Jack. I know that I said I don't get many lunch invitations, but, truly, I'd rather sit on a cold park bench eating a limp, soggy sandwich than dine with someone who wants to run me out of town. Jack: What do I have to do to convince you I am truly sorry? Kelly: It doesn't matter if you are or if you aren't. I don't want to spend time with you, ever. Jack: I can be a truly charming lunch companion. Kelly: Oh, yes, you can... until you reach for the steak knife and cut your lunch mate's heart out. Jack: Oh, come on. I am not a monster. I'm an overprotective brother who went a step too far and screwed things up. Kelly: You are a man who thinks that people can be bought and sold. That's all I need to know. So, we'll just go about our business and just ignore each other from here on out, okay? Jack: [Sighs] Lily: Hi. Oh, Jack, hi. Did you meet Kelly Andrews, my new event coordinator? You two will be working very closely together on the fashion show. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: It's just amazing how strong and healthy you get when there's a fortune at stake. Colin: Aren't you the sly one, calling up the National Archives about all this bounty? You really do know the way to a man's heart, don't you? Jill: It wasn't for your heart. Colin: Then what part of me was it for? Okay. Let's forget about the boxes for a moment and go back to where we left off -- where I'm telling you that you don't have to be afraid of me. Jill: Yeah, well, Colin, talk is cheap. Start digging. Oh, look. Wow. [SCENE_BREAK] Avery: I can go to Chief Williams right now, let him know you demanded money in exchange for information. Willa: There was no demand. All Ian left me with was bad memories and a little information. But if you think that that's worthless to you, then... I guess I'll be on my way. Dylan: That's probably a good idea. Willa: You have my number if you change your mind. Dylan: You think Ian planned that or she did it herself? Avery: Either way, she's on notice not to ever come here again. How are you doing? I know that you said you liked her when the two of you met. Dylan: She seemed like a decent person -- the only one who knew who and what Ian Ward is, and then for her just to show up here look for a payday -- it just seems... Avery: What are you thinking? Dylan: Maybe it's not a scam. Maybe she does know something and just expects me to pay for it. Avery: Okay, well, whether she's working with Ian or not, she obviously came here to take advantage of you. Dylan: Well, she left without a fuss, but I don't think she's given up. So, what is she really after? [SCENE_BREAK] Lily: I'm sorry. I have to run, but you two get acquainted. The fashion show's gonna be amazing. And this is Kelly's first event with us, and, Jack, I know you'll be pleased. Kelly: Well, thank you for not getting me fired in front of my face. I'm sure that will happen with great discretion later on, leaving me with no income and one less reason to stay in Genoa City. Well, that's cheaper than the check you wrote me. Lucky you. Jack: And lucky you to see inside someone's soul and know exactly who he is. Or maybe you don't know as much as you think you know. Kelly: Okay. You won't get me fired. You'll just have me thrown off the project. Jack: Only if you are completely incompetent, and I strongly doubt that you are. Kelly: I'll work on the fashion show. You know why? Because it's my job. But the second it's done, we can pretend we don't know each other's names. It can't happen soon enough. [SCENE_BREAK] Chelsea: Chloe was my best friend, and I haven't had a lot of those in my life. And there was no judgment. Just lots of snarkiness and -- and tons of support. And then the man that I married twice completely destroyed her life. And then everything that's happened since -- I mean, Chloe took Connor to France, and... I had to file a restraining order against her. Chloe can't even see her own godson. Billy: Wow. Chelsea: I know. So now I'm the woman who has a restraining order against her own best friend, and I am the woman who was married to Adam Newman, which makes me guilty by association. Oh, my God, Billy, if you could see the things that they're writing about me online and the way that they look at me in person -- oh, my gosh. I can -- I can see the hatred in their eyes. Billy: Oh, ignore them. Chelsea: How am I supposed to ignore them? They're right. Billy: The hell they are! You did not hurt Delia. You did nothing wrong. And if someone messes with you, you tell them to come to me, Delia's father. Chelsea: No, you would be crazy to defend me. Billy: Yeah, well, it's not the worst thing someone's said about me lately. After all, you know, I am the guy that left Delia alone in a car. I'm the bad parent who got what he deserved. Chelsea: Who said that? I'll slap them senseless. Billy: Me, actually. Don't slap me, okay, 'cause this is all I got left. You trusted me with Connor... even after my track record. Chelsea: Because you weren't to blame. [Cell phone rings] Chelsea: Excuse me. Hello? Hello? Adam... I know it's you. [NEXT_ON] Leslie: You're going away with someone? A woman? Dylan: There's something I need to tell you about Ian and his ex-wife. Billy: Let it go. Move on already. Victor: You don't barge into my office and tell me what the hell to do.
