document: Neil: You're resigning?
  Ashley: You can't be serious, Jack.
  Jack: Oh, I assure you, I am. The Abbott-winters foundation will hereafter be known as the winters foundation. I wish you all the best, Neil.
  Neil: I don't want your best wishes. I want you to stay on as my partner, Jack.
  Lily: This foundation has meant so much to people.
  Devon: Wouldn't be the same without you, Jack.
  Neil: I know it's a terrible time. I get that. But to go all scorched-earth on us -- it's not necessary.
  Jack: Suppose we let me decide that.
  Ashley: Jackie.
  Jack: Listen... I've lost my faith in the cause. I no longer believe in the mission. Redemption, second chances -- I don't believe in it, thanks in no small part to my brother here, whose entire life I have tried to help. But it turns out he's an incurable addict -- a lost cause in every sense of the word, and I'm not gonna waste my time on him or anyone like him again.
  Billy: Well, St. Jack, everybody. With all the answers once again, self- righteous to a fault -- biggest hypocrite I know.
  Ashley: Billy.
  Billy: Here's a little fun fact for everybody. Jack -- he slept with my mother while she was still married to our father. It was before my time, but, still, an interesting little piece of family lore, isn't it? Do whatever you're gonna do, Jack. Quit or don't quit. But take the martyr act and shove it.
  Jack: Martyr? Really? Did you or did you not sleep with my wife, making a mockery of my marriage and burning to the ground any chance you and I will ever have of a relationship?
  Billy: I'm not gonna deny what I did or the damage that I caused, but you sure as hell are gonna deny your role in it. You don't want to face the real reason Phyllis turned to me. You were just as responsible for your marriage blowing up as I am.
  Nikki: I suppose you want to be alone.
  Phyllis: Well, I suppose you're right. If you've come here to condemn me, I suggest you take a ticket and come back later. I'm not in the mood.
  Nikki: I don't want to condemn you, Phyllis. I'm actually very concerned.
  Phyllis: Oh, really? Why do I find that hard to believe?
  Nikki: I am worried about the fallout this situation is going to have on everybody -- both of our families. Jack came out to the ranch yesterday to declare war on Victor.
  Phyllis: Why are you telling me this?
  Nikki: Well, it's gonna be hard enough to keep those two from killing each other, and if you go after Victor, too -- [Chuckles]
  Phyllis: Oh. You mean because I have nothing left to live for but revenge?
  Victoria: I am not tied to Billy -- at least not the way that you mean.
  Travis: What way do I mean?
  Victoria: We have kids together, yes, and we're gonna co-parent, but that's where it ends.
  Travis: Okay.
  Victoria: [Sighs] Am I upset about the way that he's living his life right now? Yes. But am I jealous of him and Phyllis? No, not at all.
  Travis: Victoria, I'm not trying to put you on the spot here, okay? This whole situation's a mess.
  Victoria: Yeah, I know. You think?
  Travis: So, I think I should give you the space you need to figure some things out.
  Victoria: Space? I...don't know where that's coming from. I mean, I don't even know what that means. Travis, are you saying that we should stop seeing each other?
  Jack: I suggest you stop talking before I stop you.
  Billy: Phyllis slept with me because you pushed her away, Jack. You were more interested in making peace with Victor instead of listening to your wife, but I listened to her. I was there when you weren't. And that little friendship turned in to something more, Jack. Phyllis loved me.
  Jack: You son of a --
  Devon: Hey, Jack.
  Neil: Jack, stop!
  Hilary: Sorry I'm late.
  Neil: It's not worth it, Jack.
  Ashley: This is over! This meeting's done.
  Jack: Oh, you bet it is over.
  Travis: No. I still want to be with you. It's just I don't want to pressure you, Victoria. Okay? I don't want to make things more complicated than they are while you work through all this stuff with Billy.
  Victoria: Wait. Hold on a second. All of what stuff with Billy? I don't know where this is coming from at all. I really don't. And I don't know if I like the sound of it, either.
  Travis: I've been living out of a suitcase, all right? When I came back to town, it's not like I had a plan. I need to get a job.
  Victoria: Yeah. I hope you're not thinking about the one that Jill offered you.
  Travis: No. No. Definitely not. But, you know, I should have a place of my own.
  Victoria: Look, if this is because Billy came by the other night, then --
  Travis: Me being there is just adding a level of complexity you don't need right now. Not much is gonna change, right? I'm still crazy about you. We're still together. I'll just have a place to pick up my mail every now and then. Does that make sense?
  Victoria: Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah.
  Travis: Okay. Well, I'll get my things together, and I'll be out before you're back from work, okay?
  Victoria: Okay. Yeah. I mean, if you really think that this is what's best for us, then...yeah.
  Travis: I do.
  Victoria: Okay.
  Nikki: You have to understand why I'm concerned, Phyllis. You did everything you possibly could to get Victor thrown in to prison, and then when he got out after serving his time, you continued to go after him.
  Phyllis: I don't know if anybody would really blame me. It's not like he's served his debt to society. What he did to Jack and me scarred us, scarred our marriage.
  Nikki: I know that. That's why I'm so scared about what you might do. I mean, I don't know. You feel like you have nothing left to lose?
  Phyllis: Oh, no. I-I have a lot to lose. I-I still have my daughter.
  Nikki: So then you're not planning on...
  Phyllis: What, Nikki? Going on the attack? No. You can stand down. Just let me finish my drink in peace, please. You're not very good at reading social cues, are you?
  Nikki: Actually, I read them very well. I'm just choosing to ignore them.
  Phyllis: Oh, okay. Well, I see that you have [Sighs] More to say, and you obviously don't trust me, so I'm betting that you have an argument all ready to go to convince me to take the high road with Victor. You can save your breath. My desire for retaliation has cost me absolutely everything. And Jack was right. Every bad thing that has happened, I have brought on myself. I planted the landmines, I knew where they were, and I stepped on every single one of them. And now...Jack is not only rejecting me, he's kicking me out of jabot, he's asking for a divorce.
  Nikki: Okay. Wait a minute. I saw your video on GC buzz. I thought you were going to fight for him.
  Phyllis: What's the point? The harder I fight, the harder he fights back.
  Ashley: Let's go, Billy.
  Billy: Gladly. Think about what I said, Jack. Before you go ripping in to your wife again, or me, take a good, long look at how we all ended up here.
  Ashley: Okay, stop.
  [Door closes]
  Jack: I apologize. I did not mean to turn my final meeting into a cage match.
  Hilary: Final? What are you talking about?
  Devon: I'll fill you in later.
  Jack: I'll have my lawyers draw up the paperwork. We want this break to be nice, clean, easy. Now, if you'll excuse me...
  Neil: Oh, no. No. No, Jack. No, you don't. I'm not just letting you walk away. What are you doing?!
  Hilary: Jack quit?
  Devon: Yeah, because of Billy.
  Hilary: No, no. He's making a huge mistake.
  Devon: I know, and not just by leaving the foundation but the whole way he's handling the situation.
  Hilary: Not good, I take it?
  Devon: Let's just hope that Neil can get through to him.
  Neil: We had a conversation yesterday about not letting your anger blind you.
  Jack: Oh, I promise you, I'm seeing clearly -- crystal clear.
  Neil: Okay. You know what I see? I see a guy who's hell-bent on hurting himself, a man who is headed for a very dark place. You know what you're supposed to do when everything is crumbling around you. You're supposed to hang on to someone, something, anything -- anything that's on solid ground. Right? Like your family, who supports you -- like your work that matters.
  Jack: Like this foundation?
  Neil: Yeah, like this foundation. You can't just abandon this project right now.
  Jack: Watch me.
  Neil: You say that we don't have anything to offer -- nothing of value -- that our work is in vain. Well, I don't believe that. And I think that if you see a little bit clearer and a little bit calmer that you won't believe it, either. It's true. We can't save everybody. But there are so many more people that we can save.
  Jack: Good for you, Neil. I'm glad you're fighting the fight.
  Neil: I am!
  Jack: I meant every word I said. I want no part of this. Have a good day.
  Neil: Hey, Jack. Hey, come on! Jack! [Sighs]
  Hilary: I'll see what I can do.
  Devon: Seeing Jack and Billy go at it like that was crazy.
  Lily: Yeah, it was horrible.
  Devon: I get they're hurt, and I'm the last person to judge anyone.
  Lily: Nope, not when we live in glass houses.
  Devon: Among others, but especially us. I just hope that in time -- and I'm sure it's gonna take a long time -- they can get past all the pain the same way that Neil and I have.
  Lily: Well, I think if anyone can get through to Jack, it's dad. I just really don't like Hilary interjecting herself into this.
  Devon: Don't start with this.
  Lily: I can't believe you just stood there while she went chasing after Jack.
  Devon: He needed a friend to talk to.
  Lily: A friend? Really? Did you forget that she threw herself at him?
  Devon: Lily.
  Lily: Please do not make excuses for that woman.
  Devon: It's not an excuse. We were in a bad place back then, okay? We wanted different things. We were frustrated and unhappy with each other, okay? And, yeah, she made a move at Jack. But we've gotten past that. We're both happy now. She's just as into this marriage as I am.
  Lily: You sure about that?
  Hilary: Hey.
  Jack: How can I help you, Hilary?
  Hilary: Uh...I just wanted to make sure you're okay. Things got a little intense back at the meeting.
  Jack: I'm fine. Actually, I'm better than fine. Now that I've resigned from the foundation, I can focus my energies on jabot, where they are needed. I spread myself a little too thin. Now I've got a mountain of things to catch up on, so, if you don't mind...
  Hilary: Jack, I think you can use a friend. Now, you've been there for me, so, please, just let me return the favor.
  Billy: Jack's all about blaming everybody else? He ought to look in the mirror. His marriage didn't fall apart because of me, Ashley. He alienated Phyllis. He told her to just get over what Victor did.
  Ashley: Are you kidding me?
  Billy: And she tried to get him to understand, but he refused to listen to her.
  Ashley: You're putting your own spin on things, Billy!
  Billy: No, I'm not.
  Ashley: Yes, you are! He would never be that callous. He didn't tell her to just get over it. He didn't share her need for revenge!
  Billy: She was tormented. Do you understand that? I watched her every single day. Jack -- he didn't want to see it or he refused to see it. Now look what's happened. She's begging him to get past being wrong, and he's flat-out refusing. That is hypocritical -- not that I expect you to see it that way, because you're always on his side.
  Ashley: Could you please just stop with that? Now, listen to me. You blew up Jack's life when you slept with Phyllis. He's gonna lash out at you, Billy! And guess what -- if you can't handle it, maybe you need to keep your distance. Maybe you're the one that should be resigning from the foundation board.
  Billy: Probably.
  Ashley: Focus our energies on brash & sassy! And focus on your own damn life. Please stay the hell out of our brother's way. And keep away from Phyllis.
  Nikki: Well, maybe it isn't any of my business, but... I hope that you don't give up on Jack.
  Phyllis: Why would you care what I do?
  Nikki: Maybe because... deep down I truly believe the two of you love each other. And I have been where you are -- believe me -- more than once, desperately loving my husband but not knowing if my marriage could...succeed again. [Sighs] This last time, I was certain we were going to divorce again -- certain. But we managed to work it out.
  Phyllis: Congratulations.
  Nikki: See, I had to forgive Victor, and he had to forgive me. And that wasn't easy. That was very difficult. And for the longest time, all he could think about was how betrayed he was by his family, so I had to kind of steer him back into happier memories, you know -- when we had good times, when we had that bond. And when I did that... the distance between us shortened, you see?
  Phyllis: I've tried everything to do.
  Nikki: You know, you're not trying, Phyllis. You are sitting there, crying into a martini. That is called "surrendering." But do you really want to give up all hope on Jack? 'Cause that sure as hell isn't the Phyllis I know. So, you're doing okay?
  Victoria: Gosh, Mom. We talked about this.
  Nikki: Yes, I know. I just wanted to see how you're handling this news about Billy with my own eyes.
  Victoria: Well, I haven't completely lost my mind, so at least that's something.
  Nikki: Yeah. I mean, you are upset. And don't tell me you aren't. I know better.
  Victoria: Mom... okay, look -- I guess I am a little upset. But it's not about Billy. It's about Travis.
  Nikki: Did something happen?
  Victoria: He asked me if I was jealous of Phyllis and Billy, and I assured him that I wasn't, but, suddenly, he decided that we should take a step back, so he's getting his own place, and he couldn't rush out of here fast enough to go and pack.
  Nikki: Oh. Well, honey, that's not the worst thing.
  Victoria: No, I know. I know. I know. I know. It's not the end of the world. [Sighs] It's just a little confusing. That's all.
  Nikki: Is there any truth to it?
  Victoria: What?
  Nikki: The thought of Phyllis and your ex being together -- does that bother you?
  Victoria: Maybe a little.
  Devon: I think I know where I stand on my own marriage.
  Lily: Well, gee. Where I have heard that before?
  Devon: Tell me where this is coming from, 'cause I thought that you and Hilary have, like, started to become friends, put aside your differences. You keep saying what a great thing it was, her getting dad to reconnect with his mom.
  Lily: One act of kindness doesn't erase all the time that she spent scheming against our family. That doesn't mean her priorities have changed, either.
  Devon: Okay. Are you finished?
  Lily: All she cares about are status symbols, and now an Abbott -- the same one she went after before -- is available.
  Devon: I just think you're way off base.
  Lily: You know that I'm right. The fastest way for her to climb the social ladder is to go after Jack. She doesn't care about marriage vows, either. She cheated before. Who's to say that she won't do it again?
  Devon: I could ask you the same question. What's stopping you from cheating on cane again?
  Lily: How can you even ask me that?
  Devon: Because you can't have it both ways. Either you believe once a cheater, always a cheater, or people can actually learn from their mistakes and deserve a second chance. Which is it?
  Phyllis: Jack?! Jack?
  Jack: I know it's taken some time for me to get back there to what we had, to what we were. But I want you to know right now... I am there now. I feel it -- all of it. I love our connection. So now I can honestly... and unconditionally... offer my pledge... forever to you... and ask that you do the same to me.
  Phyllis: [Gasps]
  Jack: Red... will you marry me?
  Phyllis: [Crying] Yes. Yes. Yes.
  Jack: There. How's that for a package?
  Phyllis: [Chuckles]
  Jack: I love you. When I'm with you, I am more alive... than I've ever been with anyone.
  Phyllis: Anyone?
  Jack: Do I have to prove myself to you?
  Phyllis: Every day and every night -- especially every night.
  Hilary: You are hurting, Jack, and I understand because I hurt Neil just as badly. But it led to some pretty disastrous things, so I am hoping that you learned from our mistakes. The way that Devon and I have handled the situation, the way that Neil went crazy -- I think that we all regret how everything snowballed.
  Jack: Well, you don't regret it enough that you stay away from each other. In fact, you're still together now.
  Hilary: Yes, but that's because I realized that as much as I cared about Neil, Devon was the love of my life. Now, with Neil, our marriage was over before he even found out, so it is different than with Phyllis.
  Jack: Oh, is it really?
  Hilary: Jack, I saw the interview. And you want to know what really stood out to me? Is how much Phyllis loves you and how lousy she feels about what she did. She is filled with remorse, Jack. I truly believe that. So whatever this affair was to her, it was not meant to last.
  Jack: You know, I am absolutely amazed to be hearing you of all people defending her.
  Hilary: Well, I guess you don't have to like the woman to understand where she is coming from. She was torn in two, Jack. And when the dust settled, she chose you. She chose her husband.
  Jack: Lucky me.
  Hilary: Okay, Jack. You have every right to feel bitter. But I am just hoping that you consider your next move, because as much as you want to punish Phyllis, trust me -- from someone who knows -- she is punishing herself far more than you think.
  Jack: If Phyllis is doing that, that's what she should be doing. She cheated and lied for months on end. I will give you this much. She started in this direction after what Victor did to her. As for Billy, he has no excuse. He saw that Phyllis was vulnerable. He took advantage. He betrayed me in the worst possible way. There is no coming back from this. In fact, for all I care, Billy can rot in hell.
  Billy: That's rich, ash -- telling me to focus on my own life. Maybe you should take your own advice instead of wrecking everybody else's around you.
  Ashley: You need to stop trying to put this on me and take responsibility for what you've done. And for your information... I happen to love both my brothers. You're the one that put me right in the middle of the two of you. And you know what else? Phyllis is more than just my sister-in-law, Billy. I work with her every day at jabot. This is affecting me, too, personally and professionally.
  Billy: Jack fired her. And it's pretty clear your opinion of me, so you're not in the middle anymore, ash. Congratulations! That's got to feel great!
  Ashley: Are you not hearing what I'm saying? Are you not getting that this is killing me, too... watching both my brothers tear each other's throats out, watching my family fall apart?! And you don't give a damn because you're selfish and you're immature and you didn't care. You just had to have Phyllis, no matter what the ramifications were, right? You want to be alone? Fine. The next time that you hit rock bottom -- and, believe me, Billy, you will, because that's what you do so well -- don't you dare call out asking for my help to get back up.
  Victoria: Thanks, mom. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe somewhere... back in the deep, dark recesses of my mind, I thought that Billy would still be there for me, you know -- in case I wanted to try again.
  Nikki: Honey, it's normal to feel that way when you've loved someone like you and Billy did.
  Victoria: But to hear that he's been with someone else, someone that he's very passionate about... I don't know. I guess maybe it's like that door is finally closed. And [Sighs] I hate myself for clinging to those old feelings and for letting them get to me. I really do.
  Nikki: Honey, it's perfectly understandable.
  Victoria: But mostly I am mad at myself for letting him keep me from being more deeply invested with Travis.
  Nikki: Do you really think the two of you could actually be something real?
  Victoria: I don't know, mom. I know this is gonna sound really stupid, but... I just feel like Travis gets me, you know? I feel like we're on the same wavelength. He's never insecure. He never flies off the handle. He's patient. He's kind. He's strong. [Chuckles softly] And in the midst of all this madness that is my life, he's like -- he's like the calm in the eye of the storm.
  Nikki: You want to know what I think?
  Victoria: What?
  Nikki: I think you ought to be talking to someone else.
  Lily: Do not compare me to Hilary. I am nothing like that woman.
  Devon: Is that right?
  Lily: I'll admit that I made an error in judgment.
  Devon: Two times.
  Lily: Fine, twice. But my intention was never to hurt anyone. Look at Hilary's history.
  Devon: Let's not, please.
  Lily: She came to town to get revenge on dad for her mother's death. She threatened our entire family.
  Devon: I remember.
  Lily: Well, you're acting like you forgot.
  Devon: No, I'm not. It's just that was then. This is now.
  Lily: Okay, look -- I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm just trying to help you.
  Devon: I know you are, and I love you for it. I really do. But you need to realize that people can change. And I'm not being naive. I've actually seen it. When she was in the hospital, didn't know she'd make it out alive, it gave her a new perspective on life and on us -- made her realize how lucky we are to have each other. I have no doubts about how much my wife loves me.
  Lily: Well, for your sake, I hope you're right.
  Devon: You know what? I am right. We've been through hell and back and come out stronger for it. Not everyone gets that kind of happy ending.
  Neil: [Banging on door] Billy!
  Billy: [Sighs] Come on.
  Neil: Are you in there?! Hey, hey, Billy! Hey. It's me.
  Billy: [Sighs]
  Neil: Um, listen, I'm gonna cut right to the chase. There are some things I think that we need to discuss.
  Billy: Yeah, yeah. You want me to resign from the board. Not a problem. Ashley already suggested it. In fact, Jack should have never asked me to join in the first place, because I got nothing to give.
  Neil: That is absolutely not true, Billy.
  Billy: No. You should ask any one of my relatives. They'll be happy to tell you how much of a loser I am, Neil.
  Neil: Okay. Wait a minute. I want you to stay on. I hope you will.
  Billy: [Chuckles] Oh, I see what you're doing here. Throw a lifeline to a drowning man because you're a good person? Be careful, buddy. I'll drag you down with me.
  Neil: All right. Uh... hey, listen, man. I understand this battle that you're fighting. Yeah, I do. It's a constant struggle. And keeping yourself centered when all you really want to do is run as fast as possible in the opposite direction and self-destruct -- I'm seeing what's looking like the beginning of the end, a downward spiral. Oh, yeah. That drink -- you got that drink. Then there's number two and three. You start feeling pretty good -- good enough to pick up that phone and call the bookie, right? The next thing you know, you're sitting around a poker table, blocking everyone and everything else out. I realize that you might not be digesting everything I'm saying. But I am here to remind you, my friend, that when you were at your lowest point, when Delia died... it took time. But you somehow managed to pick yourself up and get on with your life.
  Billy: Only to blow it apart again. So maybe Jack's right. Maybe there is no helping somebody like me. I mean, clearly, I haven't learned my lesson.
  Jack: What are you doing here?
  Phyllis: We didn't get to finish our conversation.
  Jack: I said everything I intend to say. Oh, by the way, I resigned from the foundation. If you want your board seat back, I suggest you bring it up with Neil.
  Phyllis: You shouldn't have done that, Jack.
  Jack: I had to. I finally saw the light. Our work doesn't help people. It provides them a temporary crutch until they fall down again and return to exactly who they were, only now they blame everybody else for it.
  Phyllis: Okay. Obviously, you're talking about Billy, but that is not true for everyone else who loses their way. That's exactly why I'm here -- to own up for what I did. You were right. I knew exactly what I was doing, and I cannot put that on you. I can't put that on Billy or Victor. I take full responsibility for every painfully wrong thing I did. I set myself up to destroy my marriage and to destroy our life together.
  Jack: You don't really have a choice at this point, do you?
  Phyllis: Just let me finish. What I cannot accept is that this is an end for us, and I know you don't want to hear that again. I know you don't want to hear again how much I love you, but I will not stop saying it because I never have and I never will stop loving you, Jack, which is why I am asking you, from the depths of soul... for your forgiveness.
  [Door opens]
  Travis: Hey. Perfect timing. I was just about to finish up --
  Victoria: No, no. Look, you can't leave.
  Travis: Victoria, I thought we agreed that this was --
  Victoria: No. You agreed. I hadn't formulated my opinion.
  Travis: Okay. Well, you had some time to think about it.
  Victoria: Yes, I have. I have been thinking, and I don't need space and I don't need time to figure out things with Billy. I-I don't.
  Travis: You sure about this?
  Victoria: Look, please just be quiet and listen to me, okay? I haven't been fair to you.
  Travis: How so?
  Victoria: I have been holding back on letting things get too deep with you because of my past with Billy. But I don't want to do that anymore, because you are my present, and, hopefully, you'll be my future, too.
  Neil: Billy, it's never too late. I think what you got to do is make a pact with yourself and start working the steps again immediately, you know? Don't fall back on destructive patterns. You got to break the cycle, man. You can do this. First you got to do it for yourself, and then you can do it for your kids. Don't let your mistakes define you -- or your sins, your flaws, your shortcomings, whatever you want to call them, cast a shadow over your children's lives. I know you want better for them.
  Billy: Of course I do.
  Neil: Good. Then you know where you have to begin -- with the steps. What's the first one? Admit that you're powerless. Your life has become unmanageable. And then you got to work the rest of them.
  Billy: [Sighs]
  Neil: You make a searching and fearless moral inventory. And above all, you have to make amends to the people that you've hurt.
  Billy: That's a lot easier said than done, isn't it, Neil?
  Neil: I never said it was gonna be easy or simple or pain-free. I'm just saying that you know where to start.
  Ashley: Oh. Hi. What are you doing here?
  Nikki: Well, I was in the building with Victoria. I just thought I'd come up.
  Ashley: Oh. Well, Jack's not here.
  Nikki: Actually, I wanted to talk to you.
  Ashley: Okay. Come on in.
  Nikki: I, uh... wanted to check in with you about Jack and Billy. I mean, he is still very much a part of Victoria's life and he always will be, not to mention the fact that he's the father of my grandchildren.
  Ashley: Yes, and if anybody can get Billy to get his life together, it's those kids. But he won't be hearing it from me. He's living his life now, and I'm living mine.
  Nikki: Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's going to take people a long time to work through this.
  Ashley: Well, I'm more concerned with how Jack works through it, because he's on a tear right now.
  Nikki: I know that, but that will pass, and then he will realize that he needs to get past it and find happiness again. That's exactly what I told Phyllis earlier. She cannot give up hope. She's got to keep reaching out to him.
  Ashley: Wait. You did what?! That's the worst thing you could have done.
  Jack: You don't want my forgiveness. You're choking on guilt, and you want me to make you feel better, to set you free.
  Phyllis: I promise you that is not what this is about.
  Jack: You know what? I'll do it. I'll say the words you long to hear. I forgive you, Phyllis. There. You feel better? Now you can get on with your life however you want, with whomever you want. I can't get on with mine as long as you're in it. Whatever we had between us, whatever existed, is gone.
  Phyllis: Really? It's all gone -- all the memories we made with one another, just gone?
  Jack: Those memories have all been replaced by images in my mind's eye I can't get out of it -- images of you with Billy in his bed, images of you and Billy at the cabin! In each other's arms! Those memories have destroyed everything -- everything -- that you and I had together. I hope it was worth it.
  Phyllis: You don't mean this. You know what I see every time I turn around in this house? I see the connection we have! I see everything that we've created with one another!
  Jack: I feel terrible for you. This must be torture. Let me help you. You want to get away from those? Get out of this house, now, and never step foot in it again!
  Travis: Victoria, I understand what you're saying --
  Victoria: No, listen to me, okay? Look, this is not some impulsive reaction. All right? I mean, when you said that maybe you should walk away for a little while, it hit me. That's not what I want -- not at all. And then everything just started falling into place. I mean, you are just this incredible man, and I would be stupid not to give this a chance. I'd at least like to try. So, take this bag upstairs and put your stuff away and make this your home with me and the kids.
  Travis: Is that an order?
  Victoria: I don't know. Did it sound like one? It did, didn't it? Are you all right with that?
  Devon: Hi. What was that for? We just saw each other not too long ago, man.
  Hilary: I'm just feeling lucky to have you.
  Lily: Good. Keep it that way.
  Hilary: Don't worry. I will.
  Devon: Hey.
  Neil: Hey.
  Devon: Any luck?
  Neil: With Jack? No. No. But the I went and saw Billy.
  Lily: And?
  Neil: I think I made some headway. At least he listened, or he pretended to.
  Hilary: I wish I could say the same about my conversation with Jack.
  Lily: Well, he's hurting, and rightfully so.
  Devon: Hey, honey, at least you tried. That's more than most people would do.
  Hilary: I just really wish that I could have done more. I've never seen Jack this angry. Frankly, I am worried about what he's gonna do next.
  Nikki: Ashley, Jack and Phyllis have to communicate. They have to learn to forgive each other. That's the only way they're gonna get through this, the only way they will reconcile.
  Ashley: I don't want them to even think about reconciling, Nikki. Phyllis has torn Jack's heart out of his chest too many times. She doesn't deserve him. She never has. Personally, I would love it if Jack says goodbye to her and never looks back.
  Phyllis: Jack, I do not want to leave this house. This is not what we need.
  Jack: Fine. I will throw you out. Don't worry -- you'll land on your feet. You always do. Billy's got lots of room. You can stay with him. As a matter of fact, let me go pack a bag for you right now.
  Phyllis: Come on. We have to talk this out.
  Jack: Let go of me.
  Phyllis: Do not pack my things, Jack!
  Jack: Let go of me!
  Phyllis: Ohh!
  Jack: [Breathing heavily]
  Billy: What did you do to her? Phyllis? Hey, hey.
  Jack: Phyllis? Phyllis!
  [NEXT_ON]
  Ashley: Both of my brothers need to run as far away from her as they can and never look back.
  Paul: A woman hit her head. She's unconscious.
  Kevin: Why would they call you?
  Paul: It was at the Abbott estate.
  Jack: Phyllis? Can you hear me?
summary: Jack resigned from the Abbott-Winters foundation. Billy accused Jack of being a hypocrite and told him to admit he drove Phyllis away by ignoring her feelings. Jack tried to attack Billy after Billy said Phyllis had loved Billy. Hilary followed Jack to Jabot and encouraged him to learn from her, Neil and Devon's mistakes. She told Jack that it was clear that Phyllis loved him. Lily and Devon disagreed about whether Hilary would try and pursue Jack romantically again. Devon was convinced that Hilary was committed to their marriage. Nikki touched base with Phyllis to make sure she wouldn't go after Victor again. Phyllis said she was through seeking revenge. Nikki encouraged Phyllis to fight for her marriage. Travis told Victoria he was going to move out so she could have space to deal with her feelings about Billy and Phyllis. After a talk with Nikki, Victoria realized she'd let her past with Billy get in the way of her present with Travis. Victoria asked Travis to officially move in with her and the kids and he accepted. Billy accused Ashley of ruining lives and of taking Jack's side all the time. Ashley told Billy not to call her the next time he hit rock bottom. Billy started to feel like he had nothing to offer anyone. Neil came by and tried to convince Billy to work the 12 step program and make amends to the people he hurt. Nikki told Ashley what she said to Phyllis. Ashley admitted she hoped Jack never took Phyllis back. Phyllis told Jack she took full responsibility for her actions and she asked him to forgive her. Jack told Phyllis to get out of his house and never return. As Jack went upstairs, Phyllis followed and grabbed his hand. Jack roughly pulled away, and Phyllis fell down the stairs and was knocked unconscious. Billy arrived and saw Phyllis lying motionless on the floor.
