Summary for Monday, October 9th from soaps.com:
In Jack’s office, Phyllis rants to him that Billy would never use her computer to access the Jabot server. “He wouldn’t do that!” They debate until Jack insists she has doubts and says, “You and I both know ****** well that Billy would do it.” Phyllis, distraught, acknowledges she left Billy unattended with her laptop - he may have done this. Next, she decides Victoria must have put him up to it. Jack asks her not to let Billy know they’re onto him. She walks out.
Down at Brash & Sassy, Victoria is being more cautious about acting on Jack’s memo, so Billy offers to get on Phyllis’ computer again and see what he can find out. Lily walks in. They assure her they didn’t hire her because of Neil, but on her own merits, and reveal their plan to dominate in men’s products. As Lily exits, Billy gets a text from Phyllis that says, ‘Work hard, play hard. See you at home, lover’.
At the Club, Cane greets Colin. They touch on the divorce and talk about Cane making a proposal for Chancellor. Colin mentions Jill’s at a retreat.

Juliet appreciates Colin’s expression of support, and acknowledges the difficult situation. Cane notes she’s stood by him. Colin embraces Juliet as family. After she goes, Colin remarks that he expected someone more calculating. They make plans to fly together to make Cane’s pitch to Jill. Later, Cane visits Juliet’s suite to thank her, and to let her know he’ll be out of town – he’ll be thinking about her and the baby; they’re important to him now. Once alone, Juliet gets a pain.

Inside, Sharon updates Nick that Alice was in a targeted hit and run, and has now disappeared. She hopes Alice ran from the sex traffickers, but Nick isn’t as sympathetic and warns about tightening security at the ranch. Noah arrives and informs his parents that Tessa’s moving in with him. He asks Nick about his checking account. Nick lies that it was a bank error. Noah leaves, and Nick tells Sharon the truth. When Hilary enters, Nick calls her over to talk about something. On the patio, Victoria catches Mattie talking with Reed, who pleads that they ran into one another by chance. Vikki doesn’t want to make things worse for Mattie, but can’t ignore this.

Lily arrives at home, updates Charlie on her new position and asks about Mattie. The door opens and Mattie files in with Reed and Victoria, who announces she found the pair together and agrees with Mattie that it’s unfair they’re not allowed to see each other.
