Heather's starting to sound like a broken record. Malloy's not half the man Chance is (and this 'doom and gloom' is getting old). People getting killed never gets old, Malloy snaps back. Grabbing her arm, he insists Heather help him - whether she wants to or not.

Heather will NOT be pushed around (by Malloy's big ego and FBI badge). Spouting off about collateral damage, Heather's on Chance's side. Making more snide remarks about Heather's relationship with Chance, Malloy catches her slap happy hand in mid air. That only happens once, he growls.

An envelope? Slipped under the door? Chance whines at Chloe. Now inside Kevin's apartment, Chloe points out that he and Heather were too 'busy'. realizing what Chloe overheard, Chance understands why she's upset - but 'I love you'. Chloe knows - but refuses to take the ring back. She knows she won't be Chance's 'last' - but is glad she was his 'first'. Me too, Chance bleats.

At JT's apartment, Jana's appearance has made Mac wistful - about how people sometimes end up where they started. Knowing he screwed up in the past, JT promises he won't this time ~hug~ Mac's sure they'll be OK - as long as they're open and 100% honest with one another.

Excited about getting all the moving boxes into the recycling bin, Billy has one more little thing to do. It's not so little, Vikki purrs. Oh - Billy wants to take pictures. Not those kind of pictures, Billy scolds his 'little freak'. Diving into Vikki's purse for her camera, Billy's stunned to find a pregnancy test instead.

Gloria really really needs an accountant and computer support department at Gloworm. And 'Angel' can still work at CL's. Both she and Jeffrey want Kevin - won't he take the job?

Yes Philip - it sure WAS great having Chris back in town - and Paul's treating Nina just fine thanks very much. Enter Jill gushing over photos of Delia (and not missing the opportunity to announce that all her grandchildren are Fenmore's now). And when Paul reports that his forensic photographer pal CAN enhance the photo, Nina's giddy at the thought of seeing what her son looks like now.

More of the same between Heather and Malloy. If Chance goes down, it's on YOU, Malloy has the last word.

Chance returns to Chloe's for the cell phone he left behind. She recognizes the name of the reporter who's calling it (and wants to know why). Chance confides he's meeting the guy in the alley behind Jimmy's - to once again leak the story (to get Pomerance off his butt). Sure that Malloy WON'T find out, Chance won't be talked out of it. No sooner has Chance raced out - Chloe's placing an urgent call to Malloy - I need to see you).

JT presents Mac with a welcome gift - monogrammed towels ~kiss~ And after Mac calls to check in with Kevin, it's off the the shower.

Billy stammers questions; is this? when? how? Vikki answers - yes, last few weeks - the usual way. She WAS gonna tell Billy - but didn't want to get his hopes up. There's no point in waiting, Billy gulps (not exactly thrilled).

Returning to her apartment, Heather's startled to find Chance (who used the spare key). Chance updates that 'we - well, she' ended things. He and Chloe are officially 'over'. He just can't back off the investigation - and tonight will bust it wide open. And though Heather is the only person Chance trusts, he won't elaborate - don't worry ~kiss~ Gotta go, he leaves her to fret.

Torn on whether to trust Malloy, Chloe meets him on the patio - to apologize for accusing him of using her. Well, Malloy was - but he had a good time too. Cops are relationships are a toxic mix. Knowing Chloe has more to say, Malloy reminds that he confided in her. Now, what does she know about his brother?

Sending Reed off with JT and Mac, Jana seems disappointed that Ester's the one picking Delia up (assuming that Chloe's busy with Uncle Kevin). Now alone, a depressed Jana calls Kevin (who ignores her call - to accept his Mom's job offer).

In the hallway between their apartments, Heather grills Chloe on where Chance is (and did she tell Malloy?) Get a life, Chloe snorts. We both care about Chance - where is he!? Heather badgers.

As Chance skulks in the alley behind Jimmy's, Heather calls to tattle to Malloy. And as he races off, Meek's follows (on the phone - he just left).

Having taken the pregnancy test, Vikki's surprised to find the living room empty. Billy? He's slumped on a bar stool at Jimmy's - ordering a much needed Scotch (which he gulps down) - leave the bottle, he mopes.
