Lily boards the Cane train looking for her ex. He finds her admiring a framed photo of herself and says he’s using it to manifest his destiny. She hands over his favorite cookies in thanks for helping Malcolm.

Cane is undergoing his procedure tomorrow and apologizes for not being able to do it in New York. Lily understands that they can transport the stem cells from Genoa City. She knows he would have taken his chances with the law otherwise.

Talk turns to Cane’s arrest. He doesn’t know how to prove the emails are fabricated, but what they say is pretty much true, so it could get bad. Cane ruminates about Victor taking Arabesque, which was the last thing he built with his father. He regrets his involvement with Phyllis. Lily thinks that helping Malcolm has stopped the downward spiral he was on.

After some more complaining about Phyllis, Cane admits he was going to give everything back to Victor in exchange for her and the kids. He implicated him in the fake emails anyway. Lily doesn’t believe he deserves to be held responsible when Phyllis acted on her own. She won’t let her get away with this and drag him down!

The 60’s Called…

At the Club, Jack frowns alone until Nikki appears in a 1960’s hairdo and accuses him of hoping he’ll see Diane there. Jack admits he’s wondering if his wife will ever be happy to see him again. Nikki gushes about how much their friendship means to her.

Jack thinks the split from Victor is taking a toll on Nikki. Talk turns to Matt Clark before she admits she misses Victor and their life together. Jack understands how she feels, but reminds her that Victor wronged her. This could be her new beginning. Nikki still hopes that cooler heads will prevail. Jack wishes her luck and complains that Victor has never met Nikki halfway. Jack wants her to be happy. “Don’t be the one to give in this time!”

Therapy Sesh

At Society, Diane spots Sally and congratulates her on her engagement and pregnancy. They sit, and Diane talks about Billy making good choices and maturing. They also bond over trying to fit in with the Abbotts. Diane assures the redhead she’s in her corner. Sally can’t help but bring up where things stand between her and Jack.

Diane can’t figure out if Jack’s gutted because of what happened or because he got caught. If she could let go of the pain and feel the love they shared again, she would do it in heartbeat. She’s just so angry. Sally wonders what’s beneath the anger and pushes her to understand that old wounds can make you feel you don’t deserve good things.

The Horrors

At Crimson Lights, Billy tells one of the kids on the phone that he has news when he picks them up next week. As he disconnects, he turns and runs right into Patty Williams. He accuses her of sticking around to go after Jack. She steers the conversation to how much she’s changed. In time, they’ll see that she’s reformed.

Patty and Billy move inside to argue. He’s not convinced she’s changed. Patty reminds him he’s made mistakes too. Billy’s made peace with his past and never terrorized a family. “Don’t ever compare your past to mine and the horrors you’ve committed.”

Patty argues she was out of her mind when she did those things and denies doing anything to Jack against his will on the yacht. She’s the brand-new Patty and soon everyone will believe it… Jack will be leading the pack. Billy suggests she leave now and never come back. As Billy exits, Matt Clark walks in, crossing paths with Patty. Patty says hello. She doesn’t recognize him but she’s been gone for some time. He asks if the name Matt Clark means anything to her.

Patty thinks Matt Clark sounds like an all-American jock type. Matt thinks he might be him. Patty doesn’t know if he is or not, but introduces herself. Matt thinks he had an accident or something and needs someone to help him fill in the blanks.

Warning

Billy joins Diane and Sally at Society and crabs about Patty Williams staying in Genoa City. She’s convinced she’s redeemed and that she can prove she’s changed. Diane scoffs that she’ll never convince her of that. Billy warns she alluded to finding a way to “deal” with Diane. “I would take it as a warning.”

Threats Fly

Lily strides into Phyllis’ office and warns she’d better make it clear to the authorities that Cane had nothing to do with taking over Newman. Phyllis scoffs, “Or what?” Lily leans in, “Or I will single-handedly dismantle you.”

Amused, Phyllis lets Lily know she doesn’t rattle her. Lily declares that Cane is innocent. Phyllis says the evidence against both of them is bogus. Lily tells her she’ll pay for her crimes but she won’t drag Cane down with her. Phyllis informs her she’s never going down for this.

Back on the Cane train, Holden shows up to see his former boss. He’s headed to New York soon and knows Cane is donating from Genoa City. They’re both glad he was a match for Malcolm. Cane tells him he just missed Lily, who left in a hurry.

The Final Scenes

At Society, Diane tells Billy and Sally she hopes Patty comes for her. It’s the perfect excuse to take her down. Billy’s sure she’s still obsessed with Jack… maybe Diane should be afraid of her. He asks if she wants to lose Jack without putting up a fight. Now would be a good time to let go of the anger.

On the Cane train, Holden marvels that it’s all still so surreal. He hardly knows Malcolm, but feels he needs to be there for him. Cane urges him to spend as much time as he can with that man. The time will fly by. “Don’t waste it.”

In Phyllis’ office, Lily’s amused by her thinking she’ll get out of this. Phyllis tells her she doesn’t know anything. Lily fumes, “I’m telling you to leave Cane out of this.” Smirking, Phyllis asks what she’s going to do about it. Lily hisses that she will channel every ounce of hatred her mother ever had for her and warns her, “Do not make an enemy of me!”

At the Club, Jack urges Nikki to make Victor admit he’s wrong. She says that’s never going to happen. Jack reaches to touch her arm and says, “It’s time to let go.” At that very moment, of course, Diane walks in.

At Crimson Lights, Matt tells Patty he was at a diner in Las Vegas. He gets flashes of Los Angeles and a club he maybe runs. They chuckle about his many rings and she asks what brought him here. He explains he found a key card to the Athletic Club. He’s learned that people think he’s done bad things. Patty sighs. Maybe they can help each other.
