Devon wants to make sense of why he didn’t see any signs – when did Elena decide she wanted to be with Nate and not him. It wasn’t like that – I wasn’t conflicted. I loved you, loved being with you. This was all about the emotional come down from saving Jared’s life? Devon’s skeptical. If he wants honesty, Elena says that Devon must be honest too.
Billy feels that Vikki saved his life – twice; one from the gutter outside the bar and again when she held his feet to the fire and forced him to grow the hell up – to finally be the man I was pretending to be. I’m a work in progress, I’ll still make mistakes – but Billy likes who he is (and who Vikki is) Think you’ll put yourself out there to find a man who deserves you? In time, Vikki then wonders how serious things are between him and Lily.
Yes, things are pretty serious with Lily. Billy understands why that might make Vikki uncomfortable. Hearing a thud upstairs, they figure they should go upstairs to check.
Elena could see where things were heading between Devon and Amanda. You did too – that’s why you hid it from me. You knew I felt insecure and agreed not to see Amanda – then went back on your word. I wasn’t imagining the bond between you and Amanda, then or now. Elena felt like she was competing with the love of Devon’s life and her twin. That night, with Nate, Elena felt wanted and needed (for the first time in a long time)
None of this is news to you. Elena repeatedly told Devon she made a mistake with Nate. Devon made mistakes too – his biggest one, getting swept up in his past and neglecting the beautiful, caring woman he had right in front of him. You didn’t deserve any of it. Tears stream down Elena’s face.
Not done talking about Sally, Summer hints that she just might blackmail her after all.
Jack had opportunities Sally (and Kyle) didn’t. He gets his work ethic as much from his Mother as me (Diane was an architect) Jack’s always admired Kyle’s kindness mixed with strength. He’s had a few lapses in judgment. He and Thep had some wild times in New York.
Mariah doesn’t feel pressured – she appreciates Abby’s honesty and agrees to spend the night. When Abby goes upstairs, Mariah calls to update Tessa (who’ll be crashing upstairs at Lola’s) Abby and Chance will make great parents, Mariah’s conflicted – but I’ll have stretch marks.
Your room’s all set, Abby comes down with Chance. They’re thrilled to hear that Mariah wants to help them have a baby.
Sally’s far from bored and directed to the guestroom, expresses her appreciation. As Jack tends to the fire, Sally pauses to watch him before going upstairs.
Billy’s going to check on the kids once more then crash in the guestroom. Goodnight. Vikki’s left to mope.
Devon’s sorry he made Elena feel like he didn’t want or need her. She doesn’t blame him. The woman you loved was resurrected before your eyes. She understands why Devon would want to hold onto what was unfairly taken from him. Yes, but Devon had something new, and he let it go. They touch foreheads, then kiss.
