Problem Statement

Given a scalene triangle ABC\triangle ABC, D,ED,E lie on segments AB,ACAB,AC respectively such that CA=CD,BA=BECA=CD, BA=BE. Let ω\omega be the circumcircle of ADE\triangle ADE. PP is the reflection of AA across BCBC, and PD,PEPD,PE meets ω\omega again at X,YX,Y respectively. Prove that BXBX and CYCY intersect on ω\omega.
