Victoria’s grateful that he didn’t tell her father that she’s the one who outed him as letting Locke have a heart attack while he forced him to sign over his company. Victoria thinks this is Lily’s influence. Later, Ashland calls and Victoria swoons as she accepts another dinner date. “You’re swimming in some pretty treacherous waters,” Billy says. “You live your life and I’ll live mine,” Victoria retorts.

Why should you trust me when I can’t trust you?” Mariah says she’s Kyle’s friend and he was a hot mess in New York. When they got together. Maybe Tara didn’t notice or care or she saw how vulnerable he was and took advantage. Tara isn’t taking advantage. She’s focused on caring for her kid.
