As the World Turns - DAILY UPDATES

Carly arrives at Metro and thanks him for watching the club while she was in Montana. She offers a gift for Vienna and says it's more of a bribe because she needs him to take a bigger role at Metro. Carly says she needs time with the kids because of a big mistake she made. Henry agrees to do it. She leaves. Bonnie arrives and asks Henry how he is going to convince Vienna to give him more time at the bar. "She left me," he says sadly. The news doesn't disappoint Bonnie but she realizes how upset Henry is and tries to be a friend. She advises him to work as much as he can and if all else fails, to find a new love. Bonnie calls an associate who stops by a while later. He gives her an envelope filled with cash and leaves. Henry asks what she does for the man. Vienna will only say he was a client who she kept out of jail. "I'm sick of being such a good lawyer that I end up feeling dirty," she says. Henry offers to take the money off her hands! Bonnie decides to give the money to charity and then says she needs to find a new profession. "Have I got a job for you," Henry says! He says she could be a manager for him so that he can concentrate on Al's. He says it is just a temporary fix until she figures out what she wants. Bonnie wonders what will happen when Vienna comes back; Henry says she isn't coming back. Bonnie gives in and accepts the job offer.

She admits to the mistake and says she is trying to fix things now. Mike realizes she is doing this for Holden, says he and Lily are just friends and they both need to back off. He mentions their impending lunch date and Carly says there is more on Lily's mind than friendship and a simple lunch date. He says he isn't going to shut Lily out but he'll make sure she knows this is friendship only. Carly hugs him and leaves. Just then Lily arrives, dressed to the nines. "You…look great," he says. He mentions checking his mail and says they should eat in the lounge. She says she already ordered an expensive wine but she'll change everything to fit the lounge. Mike makes it clear that he is only going to be her friend. Lily is crushed and embarrassed. They sit and talk. Mike advises her to be honest with Holden but she isn't sure she wants to try again.

Holden hugs her just as Lily walks in!
