Cane and Phillip Stunner Spoiler

Spoiler alert, spoiler alert! This was quite the stunner today. I had to rewind the DVR to see Thom Beirdz (aka the dead Phillip Chancellor III) as Cane's secret phone call (aka the call that made him look like a scam artist that was supposedly forgotten.)

Lane Wedding
After marrying Lily, Cane remembers the "We're In" phone call and then they pan to the other end of the phone and reveal the Dead Phillip Chancellor and the fact that they need to be 'patient')

Are we supposed to be dumb enough to believe this elaborate backpeddaling? How much are we supposed to just 'let go' as the storylines shuffle and re-shuffle? I'm sure you're going to be hearing a lot from me on this subject as they try to unravel this one?

First factor (beyond the dead body and all the years)
-The DNA test with Chloe's baby demonstrating that Cane and Billy must come from the same gene pool

There are more factors...I just know it but my head hurts just trying to piece together all the other parts of the puzzle that don't fit!
