Paul consoles Nikki when she is so upset. Victor is on the phone hatching a plan against Adam. Esther stops Jill from sticking a knife in Katherine's pic. In the park, Cane and Lily still discuss the kiss between Cane and Hilary. Lily still believes that Hilary is hiding something from them. Devon drowns his sorrows with liquor when Mason joins him as Hilary watches them. Esther tries to comfort Jill over Katherine's death. Jill lashes out at Katherine's pic. Murphy, Chloe, Esther, Kevin, and Jill gather for the reading of Katherine's will. Murphy assures everyone that Katherine made sure that everyone got what they deserved. At the Newman ranch, Victor and Nikki prepare to leave but she backs out and sends him there alone. Paul and Christine kiss good-bye before she goes to Washington on business. Nikki calls Paul and asks him to come see her. Esther daydreams that Katherine leaves her everything. Hilary tells Mason to get close to Devon. Kevin daydreams that he is left everything. Chloe comes to see him and asks him to take her back. The lawyer begins to read Katherine's will. Murphy, Victor, Tucker, and Esther are all left things in Katherine's will. Cane is left control of Chancellor Industries as CEO. Everyone is impressed, but they are more impressed when Devon is left the bulk of Katherine's estate. Jill wonders what she is left. She is surprised when she is left Katherine's share of the house and a music box. Hilary tells Mason to ask Devon for his job back. Nikki reveals to Paul that she had a child but doesn't know where it is now. Jill is upset over just being left the music box and starts to throw it away, but Esther stops her. Devon has a drink to celebrate his windfall thanks to Katherine. Jill notices that the date on the bottom of the music box is Katherine's 10th birthday.
Paul: Now, do you want me to stay with you until victor gets home? Nikki: Oh, no! No! Uh, the last thing I want is for him to think I'm hiding something! No. I'll be okay! Victor: That's unacceptable. No. The longer we wait... the sooner they realize that I'm onto them. I want you to go ahead with our plan. Thank you. Jill: Et tu, Katherine? This was the most "unkindest" cut of all. Do you want to see how it feels, you traitorous, old bitch? Esther: No! Stop! What are you doing?! Jill: I am showing her the kind of love she showed me! That's what I'm doing! Lily: I did not expect that to happen. Cane: I don't think Jill or Devon did, either. Lily: It's like, you hear about these surprises at these will readings, but I did not think Katherine would do something like that. I mean, at least you came out of it unscathed. Cane: I don't know. I think this is gonna lead to an all-out war. Devon: Can I get another, please? Mason: Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh. Dude, it's not even happy hour yet. You might want to take it easy on that. Man, I haven't seen you drink before! You're pretty hard-core! Devon: Thank you. Jill: You promised to take care of me, didn't you? You promised me I would never have to worry in my old age! What a crock! Esther: Don't say that. I know Mrs. C provided for you in her own way. Jill: Oh, for god's sake, she shafted me, Esther. She shafted me like she's always shafted me! She's treating me like the red-headed stepchild one more time! Esther: But you're a brunette! Jill: Oh, my god! You dimwit! Please go! Go away! Go! Esther: Look, I-I-I brought you some aspirin. I know how your head pounds when you're stressed. Jill: Stressed. Oh, my god! You think I'm stressed? Stressed is when you make two appointments at the same time. It's when you can't find your car in the parking lot! I am shattered, okay?! Oh, my god. And for what? For what? All the sacrifices I made, and for what? All the times I stared at that miserable scowl of hers across the table. [Sighs] And for what -- so you could turn me down again? So you could make a joke of me again? So you could laugh at me again? Well, go ahead! Laugh! Laugh, 'cause I swear I will track you down in the afterlife, and I will -- I will make you eat that stupid, stupid music box! Jill: Oh, I miss her so much. David: I can imagine. I-I didn't know Katherine as well as dad did, but it was a pleasure handling her legal affairs the last several months. Murphy: Yeah, Mr. Sherman took over as Katherine's attorney when Mitchell retired. Chloe: Oh, well, your dad's a lucky man -- retired. David: [Chuckles] Chloe: Living a life of leisure, no cares in the world. Esther: Wouldn't we all love that? Jill: Well, that's a fate reserved for just a deserving few. Murphy: Oh, uh, David, the others are due to arrive any minute, so if you want to, you can set up. David: Well, not much to do except to make sure I brought the correct will. Jill: Ah. Um... [Clears throat] What exactly do you mean by the correct will? Murphy: Well, Katherine made some changes. Jill: When? David: Uh, may 4th. Jill: That would be the day before she left on her trip. Murphy: Yeah, the day after she came back from the hospital. Jill: Mm-hmm. Just out of curiosity... [Chuckles] How substantial are these changes? David: You'll find out soon enough. Esther: I'm sure Mrs. C took care of all of us. Murphy: She sure did. You know, Katherine saw to it that everyone got what they deserved. Uh, Jill? She meant every word in that letter. You had a very special place in Katherine's heart. She wouldn't let you down. Jill: Thank you, Murphy. But the last thing I'm worried about right now is my inheritance. For god's sake, I'm still in mourning. The last thing I want to deal with is a will-reading. Some people say mink is passé, but I say mink is a classic! Its really fake, but it's very expensive fake. Oh, the diamond! This was discovered thousands of years ago in king Solomon's mines. Mm. It was a gift to his mistress, Sheba. And my dear, departed Katherine -- ohh! -- Came into possession of it, and she bequeathed it to me when she passed, god rest her soul! Who knows how much it's worth, huh? Did you know that she left me everything else, too? I mean, her estate -- her entire empire, really -- it's all mine! [Laughs] It's all mine, to do with as I will. [Chuckles] Ah, to you, Katherine. You are the best friend a girl ever had. [Laughs] Esther: Jill? Hello? I asked you if you wanted some tea! Jill: Just don't get it on the fur, Esther. Esther: What fur? Are you okay? Jill: I will be. Victor: All right. Ready to go? Nikki: Well, I'm dressed, in any event. Victor: Sweetheart, I know how difficult this will be for you, okay? It was hard enough for you to read Katherine's letter. Nikki: Yes, it was. Victor: I'll help you through it. Nikki: It just seems to soon, you know? Victor: Sweetheart, it may be too soon for you and I, but -- and we can wait, but the business community can't. You know, a lot hinges on what Katherine has decided to do with her company. Nikki: Oh, I just hate the thought of Jill sitting there, licking her lips, looking forward to what she's inheriting. Victor: Don't worry about that. We just have to ignore her, okay? Nikki: Yeah. I'd like to ignore the whole thing. In fact... you know, maybe it might be best if I just stay home and relax a little bit? Victor: Sweetheart, this isn't about something other than Katherine, is it? Want me to call dr. Costner? Nikki: Oh, no! No! This isn't a flare-up of the M.S. Victor: Why don't I stay here? Nikki: Well, darling, I think one of us should be there. I know Katherine wanted us to. I-I'll just stay here and take it easy. Victor: But, sweetheart, you don't feel well. You'll be all right? Nikki: Yes. Victor: You sure? Okay. Nikki: I'm just gonna relax. Paul: Oh, man! Are you sure I can't convince you to stay? Christine: Trust me. It took all my willpower to open up that suitcase this morning. Paul: I know. We just got married, you know. We're supposed to be on our honeymoon. Christine: Well, tell that to the department of justice. [Cell phone buzzes] Christine: Oh! [Groans] Okay. That's my car. I got to go! Paul: Hey, listen. Christine: Yeah. Paul: You tell the D.O.J. You don't work for them anymore! Christine: Okay. Well, you never know when an old case is just gonna pop up and haunt you, so...I got to go. But I love you. Paul: I love you, too. Christine: Bye. Paul: Hey. I miss you. Christine: Bye. [Telephone ringing] Paul: Paul Williams. Nikki: Paul, it's Nikki. I hope I'm not bothering you on your honeymoon. Paul: Oh, no. Actually, um... it got postponed. Chris had to go to Washington, so, uh... this is a perfect time for you to call. Nikki: Oh, that's good, because I really need to see you, as soon as possible. Murphy: Thank you for coming. Kevin: No problem, Murph, but I would rather be anywhere else doing anything other than this. Cane: Yeah, I think we all feel that way. Devon: Divvying up someone's life as if they don't even matter is just -- Chloe: Hey, at least Katherine's things aren't gonna end up at a thrift store. Lily: I hate when people go through merchandise not even thinking that it once had meaning. Jill: Isn't it fortunate that those of us who inherit the bulk of Katherine's possessions will always treasure them? Esther: Yes, we will. Jill: I said the bulk of her possessions, Esth-- Esther? I hope you're not expecting a windfall! I'd hate for you to be disappointed! Esther: She left me everything! Said it was for over 30 years of faithful service! [Chuckles] I've gone from cleaning toilets to bathing in champagne. Which reminds me... housekeeper, my glass is empty! Bring me another martini! Jill: Yes, ma'am. Right away, ma'am. Esther: And make sure it's dry this time, you ninny! Jill: [Whimpers] Esther: Oh, it's so good to be the duchess! [Cackling] Esther: [Laughing] Jill: Oh, my god! May I ask what you're laughing at?! Esther: Oh, trust me. You don't want to know. [Chuckles] Cane: Okay, so, who are we waiting for? When are we getting started? Devon: What's the rush? You need to get back to the office? Lily: Yeah, I'm sure Hilary is very lonely without you. Cane: [Laughs] Mason: So, why didn't you have to go in this morning? Hilary: Cane was asked to attend the reading of Katherine chancellor's will, which means the old lady must've left him something. Mason: I wonder if Neil's gonna score. He did run her company for a while. Hilary: No. He was just the hired hand. I'm more interested in what Devon's about to inherit. Mason: Devon. He was Katherine's grandson, right? Hilary: Yep. And by all accounts, she was crazy about him. Mason: Oh. You know, it would be nice if you can get close to the guy. Maybe some of that green will rub off on you! Hilary: Yeah. Only one problem with that. Mason: [Sighs] He's more suspicious of you than lily is. Hilary: Which is why I'm not gonna get close to him. You are. Kevin: I'm sorry that you didn't get to spend more time with her. Devon: I wasted so much of it resenting her. I just hope that she knew -- Kevin: She did. She knew. Devon: This is all so weird for me, too -- even being mentioned in her will. Kevin: Right. Like showing up late to a party but still getting a gift bag. Devon: [Scoffs] Yeah. Yeah. Kevin: So, what are you hoping is inside? Devon: [Exhales] Murphy, this is her entire collection! Murphy: Yeah! Devon: There's fats Waller, Louis Armstrong. It's -- Murphy: Yeah, well, Katherine knew how much you appreciated the old sound! Devon: [Chuckles] There's nothing like vinyl. Murphy: You mentioned it that night you came to dinner when we were playing these L.P.'S! Devon: Yeah! I just -- I can't believe that she remembered! Murphy: If it was important to you, it was important to your grandma. Devon: You know, just something to remember her by would be plenty for me. What about you? Kevin: Uh...same thing. I mean, the last thing I would want is to be saddled with, like, a bunch of stuff, you know? Devon: Yeah. Kevin: Say, Jeeves, have the Maybach brought 'round, will you? I'll be dining at the club tonight. Chloe: Kevin! Kevin: How did you get in here? I don't allow riffraff on my property. Chloe: Don't you remember me?! It's me! It's Chloe! Your ex-wife! Kevin: Oh! Right! Chloe: [Exhales] Kevin: I didn't recognize you through all that grime. Chloe: I never should've left you! I should've known you'd end up owning the world! Kevin: [Sighs] Thanks to Katherine. She always believed in me. Chloe: But I believe in you now! Please! Please, take me back! I'm begging you! Kevin: [Sighs] I do love a good begging. Chloe: [Gasps] Kevin: You are so hot. [Chuckles] Murphy: Well, you're not so bad yourself! [Chuckles] Kevin: [Scoffs] Victor: Sorry I'm late. But thank you for waiting for me. Jill: Oh, that's fine. But you said something on the phone about Nikki not feeling up to this? Victor: I have a feeling this...is all still far too painful for her. Nikki: I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for the reading of your will. But I know you already gave me what you want me to have. I just need to decide what I want to do about it. Paul: Nikki! Nikki: Oh, Paul! Thank you for dropping everything and coming to see me! Paul: Of course! I'd do anything to help you. Nikki: Well, then, listen to my story, and, please, don't judge me. Try not to hate me too much. Jill: Well...we're all here. Why don't we begin? David: Yes. Of course. Here we go. "I... Katherine shepherd chancellor, being of sound mind and body, do declare this to be my last will and testament." David: "To my beloved husband, Patrick Murphy... who came into my life when I was lost and helped me find my way, I leave my collection of vintage automobiles, a quarter of my estate, the cabin on lake Michigan, and that damn fishing pole I could never figure out how to use." [Laughter] Murphy: I'll -- I'll catch you a couple of whoppers, honey. David: [Chuckles] "To my faithful friend, Esther valentine... you are to receive a monthly stipend of $20,000... Esther: [Gasps] David: "...On the condition that you stay on at the mansion and continue to take such loving care of it." Esther: I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you, Mrs. C! Jill: [Chuckles] David: "As for my corporation, chancellor industries, I leave the management of it in the very capable hands of... cane Ashby." Lily: [Sighs, laughs] Jill: Could you check that again, please? David: No, it's -- it's very clear. Uh, "Mr. Ashby will continue as sole C.E.O." Lily: Honey, I'm so proud of you. [Chuckles] Victor: Hey, congratulations. Cane: Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Jill: Yes. Congratulations, cane. You got what you wanted. Esther: And you got bupkis. Oh, well! Paul: Oh, come on, Nikki! What could you possibly say or do that would make me hate you? We've been friends way, way too long. Come. Have a seat. Nikki: Well... yeah, but what I'm about to tell you goes way back, way back to... that hideous new world commune. Paul: [Laughs] The cult? My god, I haven't thought about that in years. Nikki: I tried to get it out of my mind, and it worked for a while, but... it still keeps creeping back in. Paul: Why? I mean, the people were greedy, but they weren't dangerous. Why do you keep thinking about it? Nikki: All right. Listen. You have to promise me this goes no further than the two of us. You cannot tell anybody, especially victor! Paul: Fine! Fine! You have my word. Nikki: Do you remember that man -- um... he -- he -- he -- he didn't live there. He -- he -- he -- he would come and visit. He was, like, in charge. Not sumiko, but -- but ahead of her -- that Ian ward. Do you remember him? Paul: Well, yeah, vaguely! He would come in every now and then to check up on things, and he would lecture sometimes, right? Nikki: That's him. That's him. Paul: Well, he was pretty intense, huh? Enigmatic kind of guy, right? Nikki: Paul, he was a monster! Mason: How am I supposed to buddy-up with Devon? The guy fired me from his fashion campaign. Hilary: So ask him for your job back. Tell him that you're desperate for the work. Tell him that he's a genius! Whatever! Just strike up a conversation and find out what you can about him. Mason: This is not gonna be easy. He's pretty private. Hilary: I need something I can squeeze him with, something I can exploit. Devon: Hey, cane. Way to go, man. I'm happy for you. Cane: Thank you. I am going to work my butt off for this company. Devon: My grandmother made the right choice. Lily: Yeah. Cane: Jill, you do know I didn't lobby for this, all right? I love working with you, and I want to keep working with you. Jill: Albeit with me in a subservient role. Cane: That's not my choice. Jill: But you didn't argue it. Cane: Okay, you can say what you want, but you know how I feel. There'll always be a place for you. Cane: Whoo! Devon: Katherine made the right choice, man! You are the future of chancellor, cane! Cane: And Jill is not, and we're gonna put that old dinosaur in some amber! Jill: Old dinosaur, is it? [Chuckles dryly] David. David: Hmm? Jill: You've told us who's gonna be running the company but not who owns it. Who did Katherine leave chancellor to? Murphy: Look, there's no need to skip ahead just to satisfy Jill's curiosity! David: Actually, the answer to her question isn't for me to say. Jill: What do you mean? David: Mrs. Chancellor requested the fate of her company remain...private until a later time. Jill: How long is later? David: That information is confidential, too. Jill: Are you sure that Katherine was in her right mind when she signed -- Murphy: Please continue, David! David: "To my dear compatriot and fellow lover of the fine arts, victor Newman, I bequeath you my collection of first-edition books, with the proviso that you read every one of them. There'll be a quiz when you join me up here." [Laughter] Victor: I shall be ready! David: "To my son, tucker McCall, I leave you that which soothes your soul -- music -- please accept my collection of vinyl records -- yes, even the disco ones." [Laughter] David: "My other son, Brock Reynolds, my granddaughter, Mackenzie Hellstrom, as well as Phillip chancellor iii, Phillip chancellor iv, and Nina Webster -- you are to divide a quarter of my estate evenly between you, while, Nikki Newman, my daughter in all but name, I leave you my writings, and, in them, my heart. Don't think I've forgotten about you, Chloe Mitchell fisher! You get my couture gowns. And for your daughter, Delia Abbott, I've set aside an education fund in the amount of $500,000." All: Wow! Chloe: [Laughs, sighs] Well, Harvard, here she comes! [Laughter] David: "Kevin fisher, it's your turn. I've watched you triumph, and I've watched you fall. In either case, you've always had my support." Jill: [Thinking] When is it my turn? Why are you teasing me like this, Katherine? David: "In that vein, I leave you my antique ephemera, including...this skeleton key." Kevin: Key to what? David: "Key to what, you ask. Anything you want, Kevin. Here's hoping that no door will ever hold you in, as they have in the past, and that you may finally unlock the secret to your happiness." Chloe: Are you okay with that? Kevin: Yeah. I thought I knew what I wanted, but this is better than all the money in the world. David: "This brings me to my final two bequests." Jill: It's about time. David: "I leave the rest of my fortune -- which, after the other inheritances are paid out, amounts to... $2,475,000,000 -- to... my grandson, Devon Hamilton." Murphy: [Chuckles] Hilary: [Scoffs] Now you're the one strutting around in a towel. Mason: You complaining? Hilary: No! [Chuckles] But I've got things to do, and so do you. We can't get distracted. Mason: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That is exactly what you need -- a distraction. Hilary: Mason! We have work to do. Mason: [Sighs] Look, come on. Devon is at a will-reading -- a billionaire's will. Do you know how long it's gonna take them to divide up that loot? He'll be tied up for hours... which means... you and I... have plenty of time. Paul: It's all right, Nik. Take your time. There's no rush. Nikki: [Voice breaking] Well, during those times... when Ian would come to the commune, he would ask to have me brought to him, and -- oh, gosh! On the first day, I was so excited! I was so honored! I thought, "here's all these people here, and he's asking to spend time with me!" [Chuckles] But it didn't take very long before... I realized what we would be doing...during that time. Over... [Crying] ...And over and over, the most degrading things that you can imagine! And no matter how much I fought -- and of course there was no protection! Paul: Oh, Nikki, I'm so sorry. Nikki: I got pregnant, Paul! I had a baby! Paul: You had a baby? I was with you the whole time! Y-you -- you never showed! Uh, where did you have -- Nikki: After the commune burned down, I left town. Don't you remember? And I ended up at a church outside of Chicago, and the nuns took me in. Paul: Oh, so you had the baby there. Nikki: Prematurely. I passed out during the labor, and by the time I woke up... the baby was gone. Paul: W-w-w-- I-I-I don't understand. Nikki: I told the nuns that I'm just a kid! I-I'm not prepared to raise a child! So they just... took the baby, and... [Sniffles] ...By the time I woke up, he was gone. Paul: He? The child was a boy? Nikki: I don't know. I-I didn't even ask. Paul: Until now. Nikki: Until now. Paul: So, um... the phone number that you had me check into, is -- is that the child? Nikki: I'm not sure. It could be. I shared this with Katherine... years ago, but... after I got my M.S. diagnosis, she urged me to track down the child... [Sniffles] ...If for no other reason, just to let them know that my disease could be passed down. But I just wasn't ready to do that. So I guess Katherine did her own investigative work, and... that number that she gave me was... her parting gift. She said..."do with it what you want." Paul: Assuming, since you told me the whole story, that you want me to, uh, pursue this? Nikki: [Crying] I-I don't know! Paul: Listen. You don't know that, you know? Y-y-you might be able to -- to give them closure. They may be looking for you! Nikki: I don't know what to do. Just when I think my life has settled down... Katherine throws me this curve. Chloe: Wow. Lily: Devon, oh, my god! Cane: Wow. Wow. You're speechless! I don't blame you. Esther: He's not the only one. Cane: Wow! Lily: Oh, my gosh. Jill: David. You said there were two final bequests. David: Yes! Yes. The, uh -- the other is for you! Jill: What's left? David: Katherine's half of the house. Jill: Ah. David: She's willed it to you. Jill: Mm-hmm. Victor: So, you see, Jill, Katherine hasn't forgotten you after all! David: There is a stipulation, however. Jill: Oh, a stipulation! David: The house must remain in your hands in perpetuity. Jill: You mean I can never sell it. This estate is vast! The upkeep alone will keep me in hock forever. Esther: I'll always be here to help you with it! David: There's more. "In addition, I leave you something that signifies who I really am and what I've finally come to realize is my most prized and valuable possession." Congratulations. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that. Victor: All right! Well done! Lily: Wow. Thank you! Cane: Thank you. David: Yes. Pleasure. Chloe: Okay! Bye! Thank you so much! David: Of course. Pleasure. Esther: Would you like something to eat or drink? I could sit and hold your hand! Jill: [Sighs] No, Esther. I just want to be left alone. But... thank you. [Scoffs] How could you?! How could you? Nikki: Oh, damn it! Oh! Come on! Paul: Here. Let me help you. Nikki: Oh, my god! Paul! What did you do -- follow me?! Paul: You were so upset at the park -- I wanted to make sure you got home okay. Nikki: I'm fine, as you can see. I'm fine, so don't worry. Paul: Oh. Humor me. Let -- let me walk you inside. Please? Nikki: You have a lot better things to do than babysit me. [Crying] And -- I'll be fine! Paul: Oh. Come here. Nikki: [Sobbing] Paul: It's all right. Nikki: I'll be okay! Paul: It's all right. Whatever you decide to do... I'm not gonna let you go through this alone. Nikki: Oh, Paul, thank you! [Sobs] Paul: It's all right. Now, do you want me to stay with you until victor gets home? Nikki: Oh, no! No! Uh, the last thing I want is for him to think I'm hiding something! No. I'll be okay! Mason: Man, I never seen you drink before! You're pretty hard-core! Devon: [Groans] [Chuckles dryly] I normally don't drink. But today, I needed it. Mason: That bad, huh? Devon: Mnh-mnh. [Scoffs] No, man! Actually, it's that good. Mason: [Chuckles] Then why do you seem so shaken up? Devon: Let's just say that within a matter of a couple hours, my entire world -- my everything changed. [Grunts] Um... hey. I only have enough for the bill and a cab, uh, not a tip. But I will hit you next time. Trust me. See you around. [Cell phone rings] Mason: Well, hello, beautiful. Hilary: Well? Mason: He didn't say much, but... I think Devon just hit the jackpot. Lily: It's like, you hear about these surprises at these will readings, but I did not think that Katherine would do something like that. I mean, at least you came out of it unscathed! Cane: I don't know. I think this is gonna lead to an all-out war, 'cause Jill is jealous I retained the C.E.O. Position at chancellor. She probably thinks that I manipulated Katherine into shutting her out! Lily: Well, why do you think Katherine did it -- to teach Jill a lesson? Cane: If that was a lesson, it's a pretty extreme way to do it, don't you think? Jill: I swear to god I will track you down in the afterlife, wherever you are, and I will make you eat that damn music box! Esther: No! Don't do that! Jill: Why not?! Why not?! I'm sure Katherine wishes she never laid eyes on me! I took her husband! I had his baby! She obviously never forgave me for it! Esther: Yes, she did! She loved you like a daughter! In fact, for a while, she thought you were her daughter! Jill: Yeah, I'm sure she was very relieved when that didn't turn out to be true! Esther: Katherine chancellor loved you. Jill: [Scoffs] Esther: And you were better off for it! Jill: Really? I'm better off? Better off?! Esther: Look. This could be an antique, a-a-a one-of-a-kind! Uh, have you ever thought -- Jill: Esther, I know "made in china" when I see it! Esther: Okay. I don't think Mrs. Chancellor would be cruel for cruelty's sake. There is a message here. And once you calm down... you'll figure it out. [Grunts] Here. Jill: Damn you and your stupid message! [Music box playing] Cane: I wish I could sit here with you all day. Lily: I know. But you're a busy C.E.O. Now. Cane: Yeah. I have to go and smooth things out with Jill, don't I? Lily: Oh, speaking of which, you should probably make an appearance at the club, just so we can keep up the pretense that you're staying there. Cane: You know I hate sleeping away from you, don't you? Yeah? But the blogger's got spies there, so I have to keep up appearances. Lily: [Sighs] I feel like Hilary has spies everywhere. Cane: You still think it's her, don't you? Lily: Of course, I think it's her! We just need to find proof, and, hopefully, we can do that before dad gets back from new York! Cane: Yeah. [Sighs] Lily: What's wrong? You don't think that we can? Cane: I'm worried about our plan. I saw the way you reacted when Hilary kissed me. I love you, baby. I don't want to hurt you like this, but I feel like if we keep this up, it's gonna happen again. Lily: Cane, I trust you. I do. But it's for a good cause! You know, who knows how far Hilary will go to hurt our family? She has to be stopped! All right, so, just... go. [Both chuckle softly] Lily: And be careful, though. Bring her in, but don't let her take advantage of you. Cane: Trust me. You don't have to worry about that. Hilary: So far, so good. So just keep working Devon. Find out how much he inherited. I will continue with cane. Mason: Well, cane is no fool. I mean, for all we know, he could be leading you on to see what you're up to. Hilary: I have a strong suspicion that's exactly what he's doing. Mason: So, why chance it? Hilary: Because cane and his wife think that they're playing me. But they're the ones getting played. Nikki: Thanks for seeing me in. I can take it from here. Paul: All right. Um... but you still haven't answered me about the child. Do you want me to look into it or not? Nikki: Actually, I'd like to forget all about it. Paul: Do you? Or is that just the easy way out? Victor: Until we meet again, my friend. I have to believe that you're in a better place now. That's a good thing. There's a storm coming. Gonna get ugly. But you know me. I'm gonna be the last man standing. You rest in peace. [Music box playing] Jill: Well, at least it's not the theme from "Jaws." "October 25, 1940." That's Katherine's 12th birthday. [Scoffs] [Sighs] I have never seen this music box before today. And yet there it is. [Sighs] Damn it, Katherine, you insufferable sadist! What does this all mean?! [Sighs] [NEXT_ON] Sharon: Avery's not right for him, Cassie. He should be making those vows to me. Adam: I'm the proud father of a beautiful baby boy. Jack: Wait, you have a son?! Chloe: Fight for your family! Chelsea: How am I supposed to fight Adam alone, without Dylan?!
