Phyllis apologizes to Billy – I didn’t know Vikki was here. Never mind that – Billy wants to know how Phyllis is. The devastation and disgust in his eyes – he’s done with me, with us – why did you tell Ashley you loved me? Billy was sick of lying. Jack would have found out. We should have told him a long time ago. Phyllis is sorry she didn’t want to hurt her husband. How’s that going for you right now? Billy asks.
At home, even Travis’ foot rub doesn’t calm Vikki down. She jumps up to rant and rave about Billy. Travis doesn’t want to state the obvious but your ex is a train wreck. But he’s not your problem anymore. Billy will always be my problem, Vikki sighs.
Lily brings a bottle of champagne over to Cane’s table – let’s celebrate your success ~kiss~ Cane hopes Jill gets rid of Billy and Vikki so that he can run Brash n Sassy by himself.
Travis thinks Billy will only be a problem is Vikki lets him be. Vikki’s only thinking of the kids. This is just the beginning of Billy blowing his life apart.
Care to expand? Lois asks Jack. Some people leave a wake of destruction – what good do second and third chances to? What’s this about? Neil asks. It’s about Billy – the screw up who slept with my wife, Jack marches off.
Phyllis is sorry – we got here together. The therapist told her not to tell Jack if she wasn’t ready for the consequences. Billy’s relieved it’s out – now we can run away together. Phyllis still wants to save her marriage. Jack must forgive her eventually.
Next: Billy confronts Vikki (at her place) – do we really wanna play who’s the better parent? Turn around and walk out, right now, Travis appears to say … I never meant for this to happen, Jill looks sad. Then why didn’t you tell me? Jack glares at her … Come on Phyllis – why did you sleep with your husband’s brother? A young man asks as he walks through the revolving door. Summer and Phyllis look at one another (could this be yet another new Kyle?)
My Thoughts: Good Lord! Forget any lines of the day and inane comments I might have made. I am wracked with uncontrollable laughter at the incredible display of anguish expressed by our dear Phyllis today. Not since Julia Lewis Dreyfuss brought us Elaine’s infamous dance on Seinfeld has a female actress put so much of her body into her craft. Please do yourself a favour. If you must, fast forward the rest of the tripe – but do NOT miss the spectacular contortions Ms Tognoni manages at approximately 35 minutes in. There’s your Emmy clip right there. That is all.
