Elizabeth learns that Burke has made his move to take over the Collins holdings. Bill insists without a fight, all will be lost to save Roger.

Synopsis Edit

My name is Victoria Winters. I came to Collinwood for a purpose, but that purpose has been obscured by a veil of hypocrisy and deceit as a man who cares tries to reach a decision.

It's weird that Bill is drunk; Liz offers Ned a job but she refuses to marry him so he declines via telephone. John Harris assures her that David has a financial future but tells Liz there's not anything but the change in her purse remaining. Bill wants to talk to Liz and implies that Roger was driving during the accident but she brushes the whole thing off. Harris learns Blair works for Burke from Blabbermouth Carolyn. John spills the beans to Liz about Blair and Burke and the outstanding notes. Bill goes off the deep end and decides to deal with Roger himself since Liz won't give the creep up.
