She confesses Tucker’s characteristics are much like her own. Jill arrives and tells Tucker it was not long ago when she was in his position. Katherine asks Jill if she knows where Arthur is but Jill is not forthcoming. Jill states she believes Tucker is there for a cease fire. She tells him the only reason for doing so must be because Katherine is blackmailing him. Tucker denies the accusation. Jill asks Katherine why she is suddenly defending Tucker and not her.

Cane tells Billy he will never break Katherine’s trust. He admits he thinks Billy’s vendetta against Tucker has nothing to do with saving Jill’s honor, as it has to do with selling magazines.
