Lily asks Mimi what her intentions are with the company and Jill comes in and says that she has the same question. Mamie tells her that she got a great investment opportunity that offered her the opportunity to also come back and be with her family again.

Jill wants to know why all the secrecy and why Victor would put his stake in Chancellor-Winters up for sale. She asks Victoria and Abby if they had anything to do with it and they both deny it. Lily tells Mimi that it is weird what happened and tells her that ever since Nate did what he did they have been wary of family making secretive moves that affect the company. Maime tells her that’s why she’s there so that they can all put the animosity behind them. She says it’s what Drucilla and Neil would’ve wanted.
Maime tells Jill that for her it’s business but for Maime it’s her family. Jill thinks she’s working an angle, but Maime tells her that when she was there a few months ago she saw how things were so bad between Devon and Lily, and decided that she had to be the elder family member they needed to bring them all back together. Jill still doesn’t believe her and Mamie tells her that it’s not about her.
Jill doesn’t believe that either and asks Maime how much it will cost to buy out her stake in Chancellor-Winters. Maime tells Jill that her stake is not for sale for any price. She asked if they could stop talking about business because that evening was supposed to be about celebrating being back together again. Devon Lily and Nate all agree and Jill tells them that none of them have any idea what’s going on there. Maime tells Jill that she can stay as well, if she’ll stop talking about her intentions and Lily asks Jill to stay and celebrate with them.

Lily says she wants to just concentrate on them all being together again.
Maime chats with Nate, Victoria, and Abby and they discuss how proud Maime is of Nate and talk about Neil. Victoria gets a call that she has to take and Maime starts to grill Nate about his relationship with Victoria.

Nate tells her that it’s a story for another time if she promises to listen and not pass judgment. He tells Mimi how good it is to have her back, but asks her to please not meddle in their personal lives.
Jill corners Mimi and congratulates her for how far she’s come from the Abbott house. Maime is suspicious, but Jill tells her that she’s sincere and that while she thinks there’s more going on she’s putting it aside for that evening. Maime tells her that she’s always been smart and capable, but Jill didn’t see it because she doesn’t like her. Jill asks her again what’s really going on and Maime says "never show your cards until it's time" before walking away.
