Chancellor Estate 

Billy and Mac are kissing. Mac says she can’t believe this is happening.  Billy says it feels like fate. Mac can’t believe she was crowned prom queen.  Billy says the look on her face was…shocked, to say the least. Mac says she  really was surprised. She admits she liked being on the dance floor in his arms. Billy says she had a different look on her face then. Billy kisses Mac again. Billy tells Mac that he "wants her to know he cares about her."  He wonders if she feels the same way? She admits she does. Billy asks if he can stay for a while? Mac thinks it is best if he leaves, the evening has been perfect and she doesn’t want it spoiled. Billy agrees to leave but tells her he will see her in the morning. She says she wont’ be able to sleep tonight.  Billy isn’t sure he will either. He tells her not to worry about his mom "her bark is worse than her bite." Billy kisses Mac. Billy leaves. Mac is smiling to herself saying "wow". She feels someone watching her. She turns around, Jill is standing there. Jill tells Mac she thinks she is "hot stuff." Mac says that isn’t true. Jill tells her "everything has been ruined." Jill tells her that she knew Mac was cunning and conniving but had no idea the lengths she would go to, to get what she wanted. Mac denies it, saying she never expected to win. Jill takes Mac by the shoulders; Mac says, "You are scaring me." Jill says, "Good, you should be scared!" Mac threatens to call her grand mother. Jill says "no you won’t" Jill says she never realized that Mac’s plan was "long term." Mac says she doesn’t know what she is talking about. Jill says "my son." Mac says, "I never even liked him." Jill "you didn’t like him?" "But you do now?" "Making plans are we?" Mac "we are in high school." Jill tells her not to "play innocent." Jill says she "saw her on the dance floor." "You looking at him, him looking at you, it was sickening!" Jill warns her that she had better not get near "my son" or "you will feel my wrath!" Mac threatens to tell Billy, what Jill is doing. Jill says it will only prove that "I was right all along." "That you are plotting to get Billy and drive a wedge between us." Mac says sarcastically "I am so scared." Jill "You have no idea what you are dealing with." "I will do whatever I need to, to keep you away from my son!" Jill walks out, Mac is close to tears. 

Abbott’s 

Ashley is sorting through the mail. Jack comes in. She asks about his evening? He says he was with Lauren Fenmore. Ashley asks about the pre prom shoot? Jack says it went well. Jack tells her that since Deirdre was ill, Mac filled in. (Telephone rings). Jack answers it. Jill says, "Well, it is nice to know one of you answers the phone." Jack asks how the prom was? She tells him it was a disaster. After he hangs up, he tells Ashley that Billy was crowned King but Brittany was not crowned queen. Ashley asks who it was?  Jack says Jill didn’t tell him but it was "probably a dark horse." Ashley says, "The best laid plans…" Jack says Brittany was a shoe in and wonders what we will do now? Ashley says perhaps the commercial can come out of "Brittany being second." Jack says that will look like "Glow by JABOT is for losers." Ashley asks about the pre prom shoot, maybe they could show the girls getting ready and then "stage the ending." Jack says that will "cost us a fortune." Ashley says, "Our summer plans are going up in smoke." Billy comes in. Jack says it is nice to see someone in a good mood. Billy says he had a great time at the prom. Jack says that we know you won as Prom King but who won as Queen? Billy says, "MacKenzie did." Jack can’t believe it.  Ashley says Brittany must have been devastated. Billy admits she was and he took her home. Ashley comments on Billy’s lack of compassion. Billy says "what, she lost, no big deal." Jack says Jill is convinced it is a conspiracy. Ashley says she has an idea, since they have footage of the girls at the pre prom, and lots of footage of Mac, she asks about the filming at the prom? Billy says they took some of Mac. Ashley suggests using Mac as the "Glow by JABOT girl." Ashley wonders if Mac will go for it? Billy thinks she will and says it is a "great idea." Ashley says she does too; she says good night and leaves. Billy tells Jack "you can say I told you so." Jack "What?" Billy says he is not hiding his feelings for Mac, any more. Jack is pleased to hear it, and is glad to see Billy so happy. He is concerned for Billy though, he says. Jack tells Billy that Jill was freaked out because Brittany didn’t win, all because of Mac. Billy says Mac was just as surprised. He says he knows that Jill doesn’t like Mac but she will, when she gets to know her. Jack isn’t sure that Jill will want to get to know Mac. Billy wonders why Jack wants to ruin something so wonderful? Jack says he is "his big brother" and "cares about him." Billy "My mom wants what makes me happy and Mac makes me happy."
