Lily, Cane and now Devon (Bryton James) are all aware of her plan to get Joe’s confession on his bogus ransom note to frame Cane. In Friday’s installment, Cane becomes worried when Lily doesn’t answer his call. Cane heads to the station to report it to Paul, who’s off playing Santa. Meanwhile, at the Abbott cabin, Joe is getting more convinced that Lily is trying to set him up.
While with Devon, Joe realizes where Lily could be:
“The Abbott cabin is nearby. It would be the perfect place they could be alone and she could get Joe to talk.”
Joe continuous yelling at Lily for faking her and Cane were finished. Lily insists they go back to Genoa City to talk about it. Joe refuses, saying “some people have to learn the hard way.” Lily is scared, but says she doesn’t believe Joe would do what Cane did to her. Joe is confused at why Lily would want to go back to Cane. She acknowledges her chemistry with Joe, but says she owes it to her kids to try with Cane. This further angers Joe, who becomes physically rougher with Lily. But Cane and Devon show up. Joe admits that he wrote the fake ransom note and should’ve done it sooner; Paul appears to arrest him.
