Katherine and Murphy discussed Chancellor going public. She feared that the stock would sell too well and she'd have more people to answer to. She wanted more time with Murphy. He realized that she was afraid that she'd reached the top and could only go down from there — and assured her that she'd always be on top. Kay wanted to do it for Jill and make sure the company was in the best possible place. Still, she confided that doing it is turning out to be harder than she thought. Kay was also nervous about letting Tucker McCall into the mix.

Jill went to New York on business and stopped at a bar that looked out at a particular Manhattan landmark. She flirted with the bartender ... who was actually Tucker. He joined her for a drink and she wondered why he looked so familiar. Then when she asked for his name, he introduced himself as Mick. He said that he's good at reading people and pegged Jill as a successful businesswoman, who's a fighter. She was impressed. She then guessed that he hasn't always been a bartender and likes to travel a lot and be adventurous. She also guessed that New York isn't his home and he's suffered a deep loss. He replied that she'd described him perfectly.

Paul and Phyllis met at the G.C.A.C. to discuss Daniel's case. He showed her pictures which were taken by a security camera just after the shooting. He noted that the driver was wearing a ski mask and talking on a phone. Phyllis realized that that person was the third man Daniel had mentioned — the murderer. Paul revealed that the man put the mask in a gym bag, then threw it in a dumpster. There was a logo on the bag, but Paul couldn't figure out what it was. Phyllis didn't understand why the police didn't have any of this.

Both Amber and Deacon stopped by the jail. Amber was certain that Daniel would be freed, but Deacon wasn't. He told her that he'd be waiting when she became lonely. Daniel joined his wife and assured her that Deacon can no longer touch her. Later, Phyllis showed Amber the photos and they were both hopeful that Daniel would be freed. Deacon entered the coffeehouse and Phyllis showed him the photos. He denied having anything to do with them. She warned him that he wouldn't get away with framing Daniel.

Victoria wanted to talk to J.T., but he refused and said that he had to work. She pushed and he became angry. He asked to wait until the weekend to hash everything out. Victoria asked what he thought of her going to Dubai on business, believing that time apart would be good for them. He disagreed.

Heather paid Billy a visit at Restless Style and told him that he broke the law by leaking Victoria's testimony. He refused to reveal his source. After, Billy stopped by Victoria and J.T.'s with flowers to apologize for not giving her the opportunity to give her side of the story. She didn't even want to deal with him. J.T. demanded that Billy leave Victoria alone. Billy argued that good stories sell magazines and he's just a journalist. "You're not a journalist; you're an opportunist," J.T. shot back. Billy mocked J.T. and told him that even if he puts on a suit, he's just a security guard. J.T. called security to throw him out.... Victoria approached Heather and her boss, Owen, at Crimson Lights and asked what they'd do about Billy. Heather said that he wouldn't reveal his source. Owen agreed to do something about him.

Jill called Kay and told her that the meeting went well with the lawyers. Kay admitted that she's not sure about Tucker. Jill suggested she meet with him first before making up her mind. Jill then told "Mick" that she's about to make the biggest deal of her career and explained the stock deal to him. He was fascinated. After, she asked if he likes his job. He replied that he does and that his bar doesn't just sell drinks; it sells a cure for loneliness. Jill was again interrupted by a call from Paul, who informed her that he's learned that Kay's baby had been placed somewhere in Ohio. Jill wanted to give Kay good news by Christmas. He promised to continue keeping the search from Katherine.

Phyllis showed Heather the photos, but Heather said that they're useless. Phyllis stuck them in her face and insisted that the person was tied to the crime. Heather wasn't interested in investigating the case further because she was confident that she had a solid case against Daniel. Deacon overheard their discussion and made a call, asking someone to have his "message" delivered.... Amber returned to the prison and happily told Daniel about the surveillance photos.

Murphy joined Paul at the G.C.A.C. and Paul filled him in on the search. He asked if Murphy could ask some questions and see if he can jog Kay's memory. Murphy wondered what would happen if they found her daughter and it turned out she'd had a tragic life. He feared that this would tear Kay apart.... Billy and J.T. arrived at the club at the same time. Murphy stopped Billy from going over to J.T., while J.T. sat down with Paul. J.T. admitted that his new job is affecting his marriage.... Murphy had a serious talk with Billy about Billy's latest actions and suggested that he ask himself if he's really proud of what he's doing.

Victoria stopped by the Chancellor Estate and informed Kay that she and Nick are joining forces to go in on Chancellor. Kay sensed that something was bothering Vicky. She confided that she and J.T. are having problems. Kay advised her to give him his space because he might not be ready to deal with everything. Victoria then admitted that she wished she had a job. Kay invited her to join Chancellor. As Victoria shared her plans to go to Dubai with Reed, J.T. told Paul that he wasn't happy with the idea. Kay again mentioned Chancellor, but Victoria didn't think it would help. She was especially upset about her affair with Deacon being made public. Kay could sympathize.... J.T. insisted to Paul that he's forgiven his wife for her affair and is ready to move past it. Paul didn't think it was that easy. Neither did Kay, who noted that it would take time for him to trust Victoria again.

Paul met up with Heather at the coffeehouse. Heather told him that the photos won't prove Daniel's innocence and asked him to talk some sense into Phyllis. Paul argued that she's just trying to protect her son.... Amber and Phyllis planned to do whatever it took to find the gym bag, even if it meant digging through a landfill..... At the prison, a big, mean-looking guy sat and glowered at Daniel.

Murphy returned home and played cards with Kay. Kay told him that her meeting with Tucker wasn't the most important in her life — it was the day she'd first met Murphy. Aww....

Victoria found J.T. at the club and he apologized for throwing himself into his work. She told him to do what he needed to do, and they'd deal with it. J.T. spied Billy and wanted to "deal" with him, but Victoria stopped him.... Billy was then served with papers for leaking the testimony. Victoria and J.T. looked on, satisfied.
