Phillip approached Cane, who was working at Jimmy's bar. Cane remembered Phillip's drink of choice and fixed it for him. Phil noted that this is why Cane made such a convincing Chancellor — because he remembered every last detail of Phillip's life. Cane regretted hurting Lily, Jill and Katherine and the rest of the family. "It's dawning on me the life you gave me, the life I had, never existed," Cane sighed. "That's exactly how I felt when I decided to leave this place forever," Phillip replied.

Meanwhile, Kay was ready to finally leave the hospital. As Billy helped her pack up her things, Kay apologized to him for not believing his instincts about Cane. Jill was hurt that Phillip felt the need to leave his home and called herself a lousy mother. Jill was ready to welcome Phillip back into the family, but Billy couldn't believe that she'd be so forgiving after all that Phillip did to them. Kay agreed with Billy; Nina shared that Phillip had confided in her about something important, but wouldn't say what it was.

Mackenzie stopped by the bar and informed Cane and Phillip that Kay was being released. Cane was surprised that Mac had shown up for work; he urged Phillip to go and be with Kay. Phil revealed that he told Nina that he's gay; he wasn't sure how the rest of the family would take it. He returned to the Chancellor Estate and heard everyone arguing about him as they got out of the car.... Mac gave Cane the cold shoulder at work. He cornered her and she admitted that she doesn't enjoy working for him. He offered to sell her the bar. She noted that him running out on the Chancellors made him more like family than she'd thought. Cane argued that he's giving the family the space they need. Mac noted that she, Billy and Phillip all ran and wondered what Cane was planning to do next. He insisted that he's not returning to Australia but wasn't sure where he should go. Cane continued to press her to buy the place. Mac asked why he came to Genoa City; he explained that he liked the idea of having the family that he'd never had before. "It was a nice dream, huh?" he sighed. Mac agreed to purchase Jimmy's and encouraged Cane to stay in town. He didn't think his being here would be a good idea.

Nina found Phillip in the estate living room. Nina warned him that they knew there was more to his story and urged him to tell Kay and Jill the truth. Phillip feared that if he came out to them, Kay would have another stroke. Nina argued that him keeping quiet was only going to stress Kay out more. Billy, Kay and Jill then entered the house. Nina asked Billy to give Phillip some time alone with them. However, Phil was very hesitant about sharing his secret. Kay became angry. Phillip finally blurted out that he's gay. Jill didn't understand why he kept this from them; Kay was confused about him having slept with Nina. Phillip explained that he was trying to be someone he wasn't and had to hide it to be a Chancellor. Kay insisted that she would've been fine with it; Phil argued that back then she wouldn't have been, and that if he'd stayed there, it wouldn't have worked. Nina asked about his feelings for Christine back then; he explained that he'd loved her, but not in a sexual way. He insisted that he'd never cheated with a man and knew that if he stayed in Genoa City, he wouldn't have a life. Kay and Jill still thought that him "sending" them Cane was cruel. Jill angrily concluded that Phillip was punishing them. Phillip replied that he didn't fit in with the family and was no good to them. "You didn't even give us a chance!" Jill yelled. Kay noted that he could've helped them learn to accept who he was and that he took the coward's way out. Jill reminded him that he made Kay think her dreams about switching the babies were real. Phil kept insisting that through Cane he was able to make them happy. Kay disagreed. Jill believed that they would've understood had he told them. Kay asked Nina what she thought about Phillip's revelation; she replied that right now, she just thinks the family has to figure out a way to deal with it.

Billy stopped by Jimmy's and found Cane and Mac embracing after he sold her the bar. He demanded that Cane back away and not touch her. "Leave us all the hell alone!" he yelled. Cane assured Billy that Billy and his family would get everything back; Mac informed him that she's buying the bar. "Because of you, nothing can ever be the same," Billy shot back. Cane understood why Billy needed to protect his family and left.

Mary Jane/Patty hid out in the potting shed at the Newman Ranch and lamented to her kitty that she's alone in the world. She recalled how Victor had promised her that she'd get Jack back and was determined to make Newman keep his promise. She began to wonder if she really should've listened to Adam, and if she could trust him.... Victor wondered where MJ had disappeared to and assured Ashley that someone would find her. He wanted to concentrate on a "pregnant" Ashley and her baby; Ash was anxious to see their baby on the sonogram and reminded Victor that she's not a fragile doll that's about to break.... A panicked Adam called Dr. Taylor and implored the doc to do something about the sonogram. Taylor explained that he rigged the machine to show the appropriate image. He also warned Adam that he could reveal that Ashley really had a miscarriage and that Adam has been tricking her. After, Dr. Taylor stopped by the ranch and began to set up the sonogram with Adam watching. Victor asked Adam to leave. Of course, Adam hid out on the stairs and eavesdropped. Dr. Taylor began the procedure and Ashley wondered why there was no image on the screen. Taylor stammered that he's not used to using a portable device for the sonogram; he then managed to get the image of the healthy baby up on screen. Victor and Ashley were thrilled. Adam sighed in relief. The doc offered to print up pictures for them, which they readily agreed to. Later, Ashley accused Victor of patronizing her when he tried to take care of her. She reminded him that at first, he didn't believe someone was gaslighting her. Victor insisted that he only wants what's best for her; she noted that it hurts her when he makes cracks about her being hormonal.... Adam went out to the shed and gave Mary Jane some food and toiletries. She didn't think it was a good idea for her to stay there, but Adam assured her that no one would find her. He then noticed Kitty ("He sleeps a lot," she promised. HA!) and offered to bring the cat some food.... Ashley asked Victor if she could sleep by herself so she could have some alone time. He agreed but didn't fully understand what she was going through.
