At the Chancellor Estate barbecue, everyone was ready to skewer Cane when he revealed that he'd lied about being the real Phillip III. An alive Phillip III then arrived and blamed himself for the situation; a stunned Katherine collapsed. Jill just stood there, speechless, as she eyed her long-lost son. Neil called an ambulance while Cane stood over her and kept apologizing. Jill and Nina approached Phillip and tried to make sense of everything. "It's you, isn't it?" Nina said. "It's me," he replied, apologizing for causing everyone so much pain. Meanwhile, the EMTs arrived to take Kay to the hospital. Phillip disappeared into the house.

Billy and Mackenzie were about to make love in their room at the G.C.A.C., but were interrupted when both got cell phone calls about what was going on at the party. Esther and Chloe filled in Mac and Billy, respectively about Phillip returning and Kay collapsing. Both hurried to the estate. Meanwhile, Nina demanded that Cane get Phillip back there. Neil questioned Cane about how he managed to fake the DNA test; Cane explained how Phillip gave him his frozen blood. Nina was horrified.... Olivia tended to Kay at the hospital, where she was joined by Jill and Murphy. Liv reported that Kay had a stroke. Jill told Olivia about what had happened with Cane and Phillip. Liv was shocked and concerned about how Lily was taking the news. Kay wondered if she'd had a dream, but Jill confirmed it. She tried to calm Kay as Kay yelled about how Phillip's been dead for 20 years. Murphy went into the hallway, where Phillip was waiting. Phil insisted that he didn't mean anyone any harm. "It's a little late now," Murphy growled. Murphy called Nina to come to the hospital.

Cane tried to explain himself to Lily, but Neil wouldn't let him speak. Lily wanted to hear what he had to say, though. Nina went to the hospital and confronted Phil. Kay yelled for them to tell her what was going on — or else. Phillip, Jill and Nina entered her room so they could all talk. "You may look like him and you may have cooked up this terrible scheme with Cane, but you are not our Phillip," Kay stated. "I am," he insisted. "I watched my son die," Jill recalled. Phillip agreed that his life as Phillip III ended that day and he then took off for Australia after faking his death.... At the estate, Cane told Lily that he never knew his father and his mom died as a little boy. Phillip was his "uncle" Langley, but they weren't really related. Cane swore that he meant every word when he said how much he loved Lily and his family. Lily asked why he'd talked her out of planning a trip to Australia; he explained that he finally had everything he'd missed out on and didn't want to go back. Cane hoped Lily could eventually forgive him and insisted that he wasn't lying when he said he loved her. Lily reminded him how he'd promised her that the test would prove he's Phillip and has lied to her many times. "You only came clean when you realized you had no other choice than to tell the truth," she spat. Cane tried to come after her, but Neil blocked him and demanded that Cane stay away from his daughter. Billy then arrived and punched Cane hard in the face. "That's from all of us, you son of a bitch," Billy snarled.

At the hospital, Phillip recalled to Jill, Kay and Nina how he thought he could help them heal and help Cane out by "giving" them a replacement.... Mac joined Murphy in the lobby and mused that Billy and Cane had so much friction between them because Billy had sensed that something was off about his "brother".... Phillip insisted to the women that Cane wasn't malicious. Jill still couldn't believe that the man standing before her was Phillip. Nina was sure of it, though. They began to argue until Kay stopped them. Phil stated that his decision to fake his death was "complicated" and that the accident where he "died" wasn't actually an accident. He recalled how stressed out and trapped he felt because he was married and a father. He got drunk, then drove until he was feeling at peace. Jill concluded that he'd been suicidal. "I woke up in the hospital and was so surprised to be alive that I started to make 'arrangements,' " he explained. Nina realized that the cop who'd been in the ambulance with him helped him out; Phillip confirmed that that cop and one of the doctors needed money, so he paid them to assist him in his plan. Jill broke down as she tried to explain the agony they'd experienced over his "death." Phil replied that he was a teenager when all of this happened. Kay wouldn't excuse him for making them suffer for 20 years. "Were you trying to punish us?" Jill asked. Nina angrily wondered how he could walk away from his own son.

Neil took Lily home and tried to comfort her, to no avail. "I wish I knew what to say," he sighed. Devon arrived and found Lily in tears. After, Lily and Neil discussed how it had taken a long time for him to accept Cane. Lily couldn't believe that they'd all been duped by him.

Chloe asked Cane if he'd used the frozen blood for Delia's paternity test. Cane confirmed that that's exactly what he'd done and that he knew from the get-go that Billy was Delia's father. Chloe wondered why he went along with the ruse when his relationship with Lily had been at stake; Cane replied that he was desperate to remain with the Chancellors. Esther joined them in telling Cane off for taking advantage of them. Cane stated that Jill had to fill the void with him because her relationship with Billy was so troubled. An enraged Billy threw Cane out of the yard.... Cane came by to get his things and ran into Devon. Devon didn't even want to associate with him. Devon brought home some of Lily's clothes, as well as Humphrey the dog.

At the estate, Billy noted that he may have lost one half brother, but now has another one lined up. Mac returned home and told him, Chloe and Esther that Kay suffered a mini stroke — and that Phillip is at the hospital. Mac wasn't sure how things were going with him; Billy replied that with Nina, Jill and Kay, Phillip was probably wishing he were dead. Mac sadly watched as Billy and Chloe hovered over Delia and bonded as a family.

Nina was screaming at Phillip for abandoning Phillip IV. "How could you do this to your son?" she asked. "I did it for him," he said. "You're so full of crap!" she screamed. Phil argued that he wouldn't have been a good father had he been alcoholic and depressed — and that he would've resented everyone. He then apologized for saying that. Before he headed out, he promised not to disappear again. Nina noted that they were once again sitting in a hospital filled with pain and rage and guilt, just like the night they "lost" Phillip.

Cane came to the hospital to check on Kay and ran into Phillip. "What the hell are you doing here?" Cane asked Phil.
