On the patio, Victoria runs into Lily. They discuss Cyaxares but the subtext is clearly about Billy. Lily calls Vikki out for wanting something she’d already cut loose, and Victoria shrugs that things change; it’s a completely different entity than the one she sold her and has real potential, especially under her leadership. Lily has a theory that Victoria doesn’t want the company because it’s important to her, but because someone else might get it. Victoria denies it and insists, “It’s important to me.” Lily snaps, “No. It’s important to me and you know that… it’s just a trophy for you.” Victoria counters that Lily couldn’t be more wrong. She’s confident she’s going to come out on top. Lily laughs; if she were really that confident she wouldn’t work so hard to convince her. Victoria stalks out and Lily shakes her head.

At the penthouse, Amanda presses Devon — there’s something going on with Elena and it’s more than him being just a good listener. “You slept with her, didn’t you?” Devon admits it. Amanda guesses it wasn’t the first time since they’ve been seeing each other. Devon says it happened one time before. Amanda’s ready to walk out but Devon explains he and Elena aren’t getting back together. Amanda fumes that he slept with her twice — apparently he had to make really sure.

Amanda questions what happens if the feelings surface again and levels, “Now that I know who you are, it’s going to be so much easier to get over you.” She slams out.
