She thinks that Billy is gambling and is going to wreck the fresh start that she and Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) both need with this project. However, Billy promises Phyllis he will meet with Dumas in person before he pulls the trigger on anything. Lily is eavesdropping and butts in when she hears Dumas’ name.
And Lily tells them that Damian Kane (Jermaine Rivers) works for him. And Billy tells her that Dumas contacted him out of the blue. Lily doesn’t think that Damian has met the mystery man face to face despite working for him for quite a while. Although they agreed to share their info, Billy held some back from Lily. And he later promises Phyllis that he’ll find out what Dumas really is about and what he wants.
Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic), Damian, and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) are all together. And Damian wants to know if Holden is spreading misinformation around town about him and Dumas. Holden denies it. He is offended, and he thinks Nate might be filling Damian’s ear with negative things about him. Nate denies it, and he says that they need to talk to Lily because someone has given her information that seems to be false. And that person is Victor.
Lily shows up, and she is in complete and total denial that Victor would lie to her again. Lily insists that Victor’s trying to make amends, so he would never do that. And Nate’s like, “Dude is shady. What are you talking about?” Damian and Holden both insist to Lily they never looked into the Winter’s family or the company until Nate contacted Damian. Lily pushes Damian to prove himself by revealing Dumas’ agenda on Young and the Restless.
