JT wants Reed back home – having him under Victor’s control makes him nervous. Vikki worries how Johnny and Katie will react to JT living there. When Billy and Phyllis deliver the kids, he immediately spots JT’s luggage – you moving in?
Jack updates Abby via videochat. She has an idea on how to deal with Dina … Whose voice is that? Dina’s delighted to see that it’s her gorgeous granddaughter – even more excited that she’s in Paris. When Abby then invites Dina to visit her, Jack and Ashley share a concerned look. Dina would love to.
Devon’s at the station to resolve this quickly and quietly. He tells Mariah that she’s exaggerating. Tessa told me how she came up with the lyrics and I’m good with it. She told you about the journal? Huh? This is the first Devon’s heard of it.
Aside, Vikki and Billy bicker over JT moving in without Billy being told. Phyllis comes along to say it’s a good thing – the house is filling up with love. They file out to the living room to see JT playing with Johnny and Katie (who are then taken upstairs) Billy warns JT that this is a stupid idea.
Dina asks ‘John’ to book her a flight on the Concord. Ashley scolds Abby – who’s interviewed some live-in nurses; Dina will be in good hands. You don’t know what we’ve been dealing with, Jack explains. Abby can handle it – Dina’s excited. Jack still not onboard, Traci offers to go along. What if she comes back and doesn’t know any of us? Jack frets.
Mariah tells Devon that she’s been writing in a journal for a few weeks to sort out her feelings. About me? Devon asks. Mariah won’t answer – a journal is private. Tessa didn’t mention a journal – what you’re talking about is plagiarizing. Yes! Mariah goes on to tell Devon that her journal was stolen at CL’s and found here. When Devon asks to see the journal, Mariah refuses – you think I’m lying? I wouldn’t want your trust in our friendship to get in the way of your profits! she stomps off.
Billy lectures JT on rushing into things with Vikki. This is a rebound. How long had you been with Phyllis before you decided to shack up? JT ‘flips the script’ – why is Vikki your business? The kids, including Reed – and Billy considers Vikki a friend. He doesn’t want them hurt.
Phyllis has settled the kids down for a ‘cartoon marathon’. She’s sorry Billy’s running his mouth – he was caught off guard. Vikki suggests that Billy’s jealous and Phyllis must be thrilled that she’s no longer available. I’m happy for you believe it or not, Phyllis rejoins Billy in the living room. Following her, Vikki announces that only 2 people in this room need to talk; her and Billy.
Billy and Vikki butt heads over her asking JT to move in. You think I’m so desperate that I don’t know what’s good for me? Vikkki balks. No, that’s not what Billy thinks. It kills him to question her judgment. If you really feel it’s a good idea, I’ll back off. Vikki hasn’t felt this way in years. OK, Billy wishes her the best and exits. JT comes down – everything OK? It is now, Vikki coos ~hug~
