Jack and Ashley prepared to meet with Tucker to discuss buying Jabot. Jack was confident that no one had outbid them for the company. Tucker soon arrived and informed them that someone had outbid them. "What? Who?" Jack demanded to know.... Meanwhile, in Victor's office, he and Nick raised a champagne toast to buying Jabot and one-upping Jack. Nick said that he knew how badly he'd feel if he lost Newman Enterprises. Victor replied that it was "business" and would help get back Chancellor Industries for Kay. Adam then arrived to join in the party. Victor informed Adam that the entire ruse that he'd been involved in, including working for Tucker and the staged public fight with Victor, was Nick's brainchild.
Neil and Kay dined at the athletic club. Neil informed her that he has people digging into Tucker's past. Jill ran into them and Kay announced that she's firing her. Jill was shocked, but Kay reminded her that Jill betrayed her. Neil backed Kay. Jill pleaded with Katherine not to do this, but Kay stated that Jill will never work for her again. Neil then got a call that Jabot had been sold.
At the Chancellor Estate, Chance made some calls to find out about the intruder and was obsessed with getting answers. Chloe joined him, but he blew her off. She suggested that they talk about him being so upset. Billy arrived and told Chloe that he was about to go on a short business trip. He asked her to run Restless Style while he's gone. She was surprised and he reminded her that it's the "new and improved Billy Abbott." She was pleased that they were in such a good place as exes and believed that he could make a girl lucky. Billy kissed Cordelia and replied that she's the only girl he needs in his life. Chloe believed that someone was messing with Chance.
Jack and Ashley were outraged that Jabot was sold to Victor. Jack accused Tucker of telling Victor how much they bid so he could top it. Tucker insisted that Victor won Jabot fair and square. "I should've known I was being played," Jack seethed, almost in tears. "I let my guard down. That will never happen again.".... Adam asked why Victor didn't tell him that Nick was behind the plan. Victor explained that he didn't think that his sons could work together. They reminded him that Adam and Victor are still supposed to be at odds, so Adam returned to "work" with McCall. Nick didn't think it was a good idea to tell Adam the truth, but Victor stated that he's in control.... Kay and Neil wondered why Tucker sold Jabot to Victor.
Kay returned home and found Chance going through some forensic photos from the break-in. He believed that the person was trying to go after him by going through his family. Kay urged him to let his loved ones support him. Chance admitted that not being able to figure out the case was driving him crazy, and that he suspects that his co-workers are trying to cover up something. She insisted that he reach out for help if he's in over his head. Later, Chance apologized to Chloe for brushing her off and shared his suspicions about the case.
Sharon helped Noah pack for his semester in Paris. Nick later joined them and Noah filled them in on how someone is trying to frame Eden. His parents reminded him that he's going to school to study, and that they trust him.... Nick blamed Sharon and Adam for driving their son away. Sharon replied that she and Nick were the ones who were at fault, not Adam. Noah told his mom that he's proud of her for coming back stronger after the past year. Later, Nick apologized to Sharon for what he'd said earlier. Sharon became emotional as she remembered the kiss that she and Nick had shared in Paris.
Adam and Billy ran into each other at the club bar. Billy taunted Adam about being the subject of his latest cover story. Adam shrugged that things aren't always what they seem. Billy warned that they would eventually find out all of Adam's dirty secrets.... Victor and Jack met up in the Jabot offices. Jack and Ashley demanded to know how he did it. Victor then told them that they were fired and had a week to get their stuff out of the Jabot offices. Ouch! Jack suspected that Victor had inside information and that's how he knew what to bid for Jabot. Victor denied this. Jack threatened to throw him out the window; Victor calmly threatened to have him removed. Jack stormed out. Ashley asked Victor if this was about her, too. "I was a fool to think that Colleen's heart would turn you into a human being," she said. Victor insisted that this was nothing personal.
Jill complained to Tucker about Kay firing her. She was stunned when he revealed that Victor bought Jabot — and Tucker refused to give her a job within Chancellor. Jill angrily reminded him that he promised her that they'd work together to take Jabot and Chancellor to new heights. Tucker shrugged and asked her to leave. "Who are you?" she whispered. "You're a strong woman. You'll land on your feet," a dismissive Tucker said. He returned to his suite where an attractive woman was waiting to enjoy a romantic evening with him.... Neil revealed to Kay that he'd learned from his sources that Tucker had somehow turned a new rock band into an overnight sensation. They wondered how McCall had managed to do that and believed that if they found the answer, they'd know how to fight back.... Jill went to the club to drown her sorrows and ran into Billy. She confided in him about her troubles with Kay and Tucker. Billy made her smile by promising to take her out to dinner after he returned from his business trip.
Adam got a call from an old Harvard buddy who informed him that a "smoking hot redhead" was asking about Adam at the school. Adam realized that it was Phyllis. Later, Adam returned home and informed Sharon that they're taking an impromptu honeymoon.
Jack went to clean out his office and apologized out loud to his late father. Ashley joined him and he vowed to get back at Victor.... Nick asked Victor who's going to be running Jabot, but Victor said that he'd have to wait to find out. Newman then made a cryptic phone call, asking someone to call him back as soon as possible.
