She tells them she put together a plan to go against Phyllis legally, to get her to roll over on Cane behind their father’s back. Nick is against it because he thinks Lily is angry enough at Cane to go along with Victor’s plan; also, he thinks Lily is in on Victor’s plan in order to get Chancellor back. Victoria holds her ground and wants them to stick together and go behind their father’s back to save their family company by using Phyllis. The three of them simultaneously receive texts from Victor, summoning them to the ranch ASAP.

Victor and Nikki argue about him making Cane think that Lily and their children are in danger and him shutting her and their kids out of his plans to get Newman Enterprises back.

Phyllis is in Victor’s old office at Newman Enterprises, flashing back to when she angrily berated him. She also reviews ideas to redecorate the office. Billy enters, asking where Cane is. They bicker, and then Cane comes in, announcing a change in plans. He tells Billy he can’t sign off on giving him Chancellor yet because there’s a bump in the road. Billy gets angry, and Phyllis tries to intervene, but they’re all interrupted when Cane gets a phone call from Holden. He lets Cane know that the PI got hold of security footage of Lily and the children being led away from a hotel in downtown LA by someone in a baseball cap, and driven away in a black SUV with no license plate, looking scared.
