At the Club, Lily tells Cane it was good to work out and be active again. He says her glow comes from something else. She smiles, and says they've got the best
Christmas present ever - being pregnant! Cane tells Lily that he was going to go get her Christmas present today. Lily laughs and says she was going to go get his too. She adds that they don't want to forget Mac - she's doing something very special for them!
Mac visits Billy in jail. They discuss his situation - he's confident the judge can't keep him there too long. Mac says she comes with news - she's pregnant. Billy is irritated by this, and things turn edgy. Mac informs him that this matters to her, and whether he'll admit it or not - it matters to him too.
At the Chancellor Estate, Chloe explains to Chance that Billy could be let go from jail if someone anonymously came forward and revealed the source. She says she was there when the source contacted Billy, but does not know what to do. Chance tells her he can't give her advice, and Chloe muses that perhaps she doesn't have to be in this position!
Chloe shows up at the jail and Billy asks what she's doing there. She confronts him about what he's doing. He protests that he's finally doing something for the right reasons and no one's on his side. Chloe tells him no one likes a martyr and insists that it's time he reveals his source and gets out of there! Billy tells Chloe he's prepared to wait for Rafe to get him out. He thinks Delia will be proud if she ever hears about this. Chloe rolls her eyes and says she'll love that he has a record. Billy comments that he's no Tony Soprano. Chloe presses him, pointing out that he's choosing tabloid trash over Delia - he could be in there over Christmas! Billy sighs, and says he hopes to be out by then. After Chloe leaves, Billy finds out that Daniel will be getting out on bail. He pulls out a photo of Delia and tells her not to worry - Daddy will be home soon. Just then, he gets a new, tattooed 'roommate'.
Chloe goes back home and tells Chance with frustration that Billy doesn't even seem to care that he might miss Christmas with his little girl. Chloe waits until she's alone in the room and then makes a call, saying she has information about the person Billy Abbott is trying to protect! Chance wanders back in and listens.
Jack meets Emily at the Club and he asks her to spend Christmas with him. She says she would love to, noting that she also has time right now. They lament that their busy workloads have kept them apart. Jack tells her his investment deal didn't go through. They sit down and discuss Tucker and his investment in Chancellor. Jack notes that he didn't buy a quarter of the business to sit in a corner. Emily reassures Jack that Kay will still listen to his input. Talk turns to Patty, and Emily admits she has been hoping for more of a breakthrough - acknowledgment of what she's done, and remorse. She thinks it may be time to turn Patty over to another doctor.
At his office, Tucker tells JT that the deal went ahead and word is spreading like wildfire! He notices JT is uptight and asks if everything is alright. JT explains that he wishes he had been able to tell his wife about the IPO before she found out from someone else. Tucker thanks him for keeping his confidence.
Ashley and Adam are at Crimson Lights. She fills him in on the deal that she almost got in on - saying there was an IPO at Chancellor, but Katherine opted to sell all 25% to Tucker McCall. Adam muses that Tucker is a legend in the business world. Ash leaves, and Adam spots Victoria. He mentions the Chancellor IPO to her, and she is stunned to hear that Tucker bought the shares - JT didn't say anything about it to her!
Nick, in his office at Newman, has left a message with his sister for her to meet him. Victoria comes in with Adam on her heels and asks Nick if it's true about the IPO going to Tucker McCall. Nick confirms it, saying he thought JT would have told her. Vikki fumes that he must have known for a while, but didn't say a word! Adam goads her, and Nick orders him out of the office. Victoria realizes she has a bunch of messages on her phone from JT, but she's livid, and says he's doing this to punish her - she plans to let him stew for awhile! Nick points out that's how they got to this place - avoidance. Vikki says she doesn't trust him. Nick says she sounds like the marriage is over. He tells her that no matter how hard it is, she should do what is best for her and her son.
In her room, Patty takes her medications and then reads a newspaper article about her return to Genoa City. It's one part of a series - she wonders what else she did! Emily comes in to check on her, and Patty starts talking about Jack. She goes on about how busy he is, and how many social obligations she has - they need to spend more time together. Emily breaks the news that Patty may need another therapist - she's not helping her. Patty is horrified, and admits to Emily that she does understand why she's there - she took that girl! Patty says it was wrong, then asks where Jack is - she misses her husband! Emily lets herself out, and Patty smiles and muses that Emily is so pretty - she's really glad she decided to look like her!
Ashley meets with Jack at the Club. He laments the loss of opportunity to buy into Chancellor. She says in light of all that's happened to their family, it's not really a big deal. They discuss Billy, the fact that Ashley is a single mom, and the death of Colleen - Ashley doesn't feel it's appropriate for Jack to be so focused on Jabot. She tells him it's time to stop trying to recreate the heyday of Jabot - he only winds up disliking himself when it doesn't work out. Ash tells Jack that his relationship with Emily looks like it could be a new beginning. She tries to impress on him that family and happiness is more important than business. Emily comes back and tells Jack that Patty has had a breakthrough.
Mac runs into JT at Crimson Lights. He is still waiting to hear back from Victoria, and Mac mentions that she just visited Billy in jail. JT smirks, and Mac then informs him that she is pregnant. JT congratulates her, and says it's a great sign that she conceived right away. Lily and Cane come in and act cheerful. Mac's mood is a contrast, and JT explains to them that she just visited Billy. They agree he's a pompous fool. Lily bought some
gifts for the kids at the shelter and Mac is thrilled. Lily and Cane head out to drop them off. Mac notes it's like they're shopping for their own child - she hopes all goes well! She then asks JT if he wants to talk about what is going on with Victoria. He's not sure it would help. Suddenly, Mac says it looks like he's going to find out - Victoria is standing in the doorway! Mac excuses herself, and JT asks if Vikki would like to go home to talk. She says it doesn't matter - she's going to Dubai and taking Reed with her. JT begins to tell her she's not, but Tucker calls and interrupts. Victoria storms out!
Adam comes back into Nick's office and asks if his family therapy with Victoria is all over. He wants to know what Nick thought of his ideas on the file. Nick says he agreed with most of them. Adam goads Nick, telling him he has wound up everywhere that Nick didn't want him to be - the ranch, and with Sharon, and soon he'll be in his chair at Newman too!
