Vikki updates her parents that Reed’s on track to graduate early and is being considered for Berkley’s music program. Thanked for their support of Reed, Victor will do anything for family. And now he’s taking Nikki away for a surprise. Eyes closed, Nikki’s lead behind a curtain. Open your eyes. Oh! Victor, Nikki gasps.
If you’re sure the marriage will fail, why agree to be a bridesmaid? Mariah challenges Summer (who wonders when she went from being snarky to sappy) When asked what she ‘wants’, Summer just wants to win a bet.
On the patio, Mattie has confidence in Mike – he’ll make the Judge understand that Mom made a mistake. Not convinced, Charlie heads out to talk to Devon. Mattie goes with him – twins stick together.
Lily’s livid with Cane for not telling her the truth right away – and for making Charlie lie. Now you want to make a bad situation worse!? Hilary and her baby are gone. I can’t lose you, Cane whines. It’s not about you! Lily snarls – it’s about OUR family taking responsibility. Leave me alone! she storms out of the office.
Mariah gone, Kyle asks Summer to lay off of her, especially when it comes to Tessa. OK, but don’t let anyone at work see this soft side, she teases. Kyle will team up with whoever gets him what he wants. Money, power, fame? Summer lists. Kyle smiles as if to say that he wants it all.
At the clubs’ bar, Vikki orders a glass of red wine and joins Lily to announce that she’s had an interesting day picking out wedding dresses with her ex (and soon to be again) sister in law. Getting a text summoning her to a work emergency, Vikki leaves her untouched wine to Lily (who just needs some fresh air)
As the twins bang on Devon’s door, Nate appears and takes them across the hallway to Neil’s. Mattie and Charlie explain that they want to talk to Devon about going easy on their Mom. Nate’s not sure Devon will listen; he might refuse. You can’t control everything. Certain things are out of our hands. We can only control how we act and react. Always stay true to you. (Meanwhile, Cane’s pacing at HWG)
