The murderer and her three accomplices meeting at CL’s, Phyllis wastes no time announcing that Nikki blabbed to Nick. Vikki found out yesterday – Phyllis and Sharon weren’t mentioned. Nikki then explains why she told Nick – the poker appeared and she was terrified. Phyllis still thinks it a bad choice. Question is – what do we do now?
Fen’s sorry he’s late – he had to get his shift covered at the club. Devon doesn’t think that’ll be an issue much longer. No – you’re not fired – you ca quit waiting tables – the song’s trending. Fen’s ecstatic. As he and Anna go pour champagne to celebrate, Neil reminds Devon of what happened with Tessa. Trust me, it’s all good, Devon reassures his Dad.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the same poker or a copy – how did it end up at Nikki’s? Listing all the ways they’ve been messed with, Nikki sees no issue with Nick knowing. Vikki doesn’t care how it affects Phyllis’ rebound relationship with Nick. We’re solid, Phyllis insists. Nikki’s glad she told Nick – now we can work on this new development (which Sharon and Phyllis need not worry about) Left alone with Sharon, Phyllis scowls – that doesn’t work for me.
Back from walking Vikki out, Nikki’s lectured by Phyllis (as Sharon tries to referee) Nikki’s bowing out of the pact to stick together, Phyllis snarls that she’s not going down for this and marches out. Seeing where Phyllis is coming from, Sharon’s left with little choice but to trust Nikki – for now.
Anna informs that the writer won’t give them another song until he gets paid for the last one. Do you want him or not? Devon does – how about we buy him out? That’ll work, Anna agrees. Fen thinks that stupid – the writer will make less. Anna’s friend just wants to be paid. When Devon agrees to write a check, Fen’s the only one not happy with the arrangement.
At the club, Neil brings up Cane’s last visit – Lily said it didn’t go well. H’s here to support Cane too. Are you OK? Neil notes he’s distracted. Watching Vikki and Billy hug at a nearby table, Cane insists he’s ‘cool’.
Sharon and Nikki are left to butt heads over her telling Nick (without consulting anyone) Nikki told Nick to protect Phyllis and Sharon – so he’d stop digging. Sharon softens – and is happy to hear that Nikki feels safer with the extra security. Nikki’s glad she has her gun and will stay home in hopes of catching whoever’s doing this in the act.
Back at the club, Cane confides how tense things are between him and Lily. After reading her letter, he dropped everything to visit – then she cut the visit short. It seems like her prison life is more important than her life with her family. She’s just trying to survive – Neil encourages Cane to support Lily, whoever she is when she gets out. He will – Lily and the kids are everything to him.
