Lily’s not happy to find Cane waiting for her at home. He wastes no time tattling that he caught Mattie and Reed ‘making out’. You know the damage Vikki’s done to this family, Cane’s reminded that HE did that. Listing his actions, Lily needs more time. Cane suspects she already knows what she wants.

Lily’s not sure if she wants a divorce. Cane sees that as indication that he has time to fix this. Lily needs more time – and how much credit does Cane expect for fixing problems he created. BnS is so broke, thanks to YOU, that they postponed the Dare campaign. Cane’s sorry. Please just leave, Lily needs to talk to Mattie. Without further word, Cane carries his luggage out.

In Victor’s office, Vikki rants about Dad kicking Nick out (as he arrives, as summoned, to relay what happened – his key didn’t work. Victor informed that he had Nick’s stuff moved out) Abby then admits that Victor gave her the news keys and asked her to move in.

Yes, of course, Mariah wants Tessa to stay at the house. Then why have you been upstairs? Tessa wonders.

Dropping Sharon off at CL’s, Noah thinks she and Tessa will become great friends. On his way out, he praises Scott’s freshly shaved face. As Sharon’s updating Scott that it’s Tessa’s first night at her place, Chris comes along with news – and it’s not what Sharon wants to
hear.




Still in the office, Billy texts Vikki asking for an update. Reed comes in need of a chat – Mattie’s Dad walked in on me and her. She’s special – what am I gonna do if her Dad won’t let her see me anymore? Accept it, Billy’s sorry to say.

Summoned for a mild scolding, Mattie guesses correctly that Dad tattled. Reed makes everything less awful, Mattie overheard that her Mom’s job is on hold because of what Dad did. Mattie didn’t like the way she and her Dad spoke to each other – things are different now. Lily had issues with her Dad – your Dad will always love you. When Reed texts Mattie, she asks permission to go see him. Lily wants her to slow things down a bit.

Nick’s fine with moving forward and being his own man. If Abby wants the house she’s welcome to it. The only one outraged, Vikki’s ears buzz again and she hurries out needing to be somewhere. And as she sits outside the office, Nick reassures Abby that she doesn’t need to feel guilty – he’s moving in with Chelsea.

Joining Chelsea at the club’s bar, Jordan invites her up to the roof for a drink. She’s just there for take out. Hearing that Nick and his kids are moving in, Jordan wonders if that’s what Chelsea really wants.

Tessa wonders if Mariah finds things awkward after …. No, Mariah has Tessa’s back. Good, I can’t lose anyone else right now, Tessa tears up. Mariah knows something’s off – why are you checking your phone so much? You were off in the recording studio. Talk to me – please let me help you.
