Cane congratulates Lily on her first photoshoot back at BnS – he heard she looked beautiful. From who? He ran into Jordan at the gym. How did the shoot go? Lily couldn’t help but think about when she and Cane worked together. No, Vikki’s not treating her badly – and Lily doesn’t see Cane as the bad guy. She’s happy to hear that the baby’s test results came back OK. Hearing it’s a boy, Lily offers congratulations.
Nick respects Sharon’s instincts. You’ve turned your life around – it’s inspiring. Sharon’s humble but Nick won’t let her diminish her success. Look at us now – we’re co-parenting; you’re helping people – giving back. It makes Nick want to help too. But don’t go charging over there in the middle of the night – Nick couldn’t handle it if something happened to Sharon ~hug~
Nick and Sharon break apart when Chelsea arrives at Underground to hear he’s been helping Sharon with something. After Sharon leaves, Chelsea reminds Nick that it’s the one year anniversary of Adam’s death. He tells her that someone from his and Sharon’s past appeared and brought up some old stuff. Apparently not just for Sharon, Chelsea observed.
Still on the patio, Mariah’s sorry she got so emotional (and lists all she has to be grateful for) Tessa talks about her mean drunk Dad being a low-level dealer in Chicago, her Mom an addict. I was the one who took care of Crystal. When guys coming over started looking at her differently, Tessa left (promising Crystal she’d come back for her) We’ll find her, Mariah promises.
Zack knew Tessa from a long time ago – she’s trying to turn things around for herself. Do you want to ruin that? No, Crystal murmurs. If you try to contact Tessa or anyone else again, there will be consequences, zack warns. Crystal dismissed to her room, Zack orders Alice to get her out of this house – find a place – I want her gone – tonight.
Hilary knows that Jordan’s an opportunist – he’s had dinner with Lily and the kids at least once. Cane’s seat at the table suits him just fine. Hilary’s just looking out for Lily and her family; she feels for those kids. She thought Devon should know (that Jordan’s after Lily) Suitably wound up, Devon makes a beeline over to Jordan. What’s up? You tell me – you’re the one playing all the angles, right?
Devon accosts Jordan for pursuing Hilary when the ink was barely dry on their divorce, now he’s going after Lily the same way.
Cane’s glad that Juliet’s baby’s OK but THIS is his family – THIS is him home. He and Lily chat about the kids; Mattie’s got her priorities straight. You mean she doesn’t have time for Reed? Lily adds – as Mattie comes home. How’s drama club? Cane wants to catch up with Mattie over dinner. Mattie can’t pretend everything’s normal and doesn’t like being forbidden from seeing Reed. But OK, I’ll have dinner with you, she leaves Cane satisfied with the small victory.
Finding a pissed off Abby at the club’s bar, Zack’s lambasted for standing her up without even bothering to text. What could be so important?
