Draped in only a blanket, Lily and Billy enjoy vodka shots and caviar. This is fantastic ~kiss~
You don’t want to be in business with Tara, Phyllis claims that she’s as duplicitous as Sally. Ok, Lauren might have something too – we’re doing due diligence on Tara’s company but having trouble getting the financial documents. You’ve given me a lot to think about, Lauren leaves Phyllis to gloat to Nick (who’s becoming upset on Summer’s behalf) After Nick steps aside to take a call, Phyllis is accosted by Jack – this better be good.
Cuddling with Billy, Lily relays that Mattie’s happy for them. It’s weird having such a mature daughter. My babies have grown up and don’t need me – but she enjoys spending time with Katie and Johnny. Deciding to share her life with Billy was a good decision.
Still on her bed, Mariah talks to her bump. I didn’t lead a charmed life – I grew up in a cult. Things went off the rails. Ian Ward would be her number one suspect – but he’s supposed to be in prison (and has bigger fish to fry) Tessa’s had her share of run-ins with shady people. It could be someone connected to her sister. Until the person holding us reveals who they are, we’re utterly trapped, in this room. Mariah sits up and starts to shout – why are you doing this!?
At the penthouse, Devon reassures Abby that Mariah’s taking care of herself and the baby. No, Abby hasn’t talked to Chance lately, and it’s frustrating. I’m facing everything alone. Devon reminds Abby that she has a lot of people in her corner. She continues to stress – Chance is out there protecting other people; he should be protecting me. I need him to come home!
Phyllis is frustrated when Jack thinks Sally may have just made an offhand comment to Eric. These constant attacks must stop. Sally admitted it when I confronted her, Phyllis adds. What exactly does that mean? Sally admitted that she and Tara worked together to force Summer out of town.
Billy thinks he’s the lucky one in this relationship. Lily inspires him. This feels strong and right. Billy would like to get to know her kids better – how about we take the whole clan on vacation. Yes, it’s a big step; one Billy wants to take with Lily.
Back at CL’s, Tessa’s annoyed – why is everyone so nonchalant? Mariah’s missing. Rey can’t launch an investigation because Mariah’s choosing to stay away. If you can’t do anything as a cop, can you help me as my husband? Sharon implores.
Jack comes home to tell Tara that he just talked to Phyllis. She found out something in LA and confronted Sally – who then, backed into a corner, confessed to everything. Tara hopes Jack’s not buying into their crazy theories.
Abby’s now gotten everything off her chest. Devon’s sure Chance will come home to her as soon as he can. You always know the right thing to say – she hopes he’ll always offer the same comfort and wisdom to the baby. Devon guarantees it.
Mariah sits on the bed. Holding her belly, she refuses to get angry – she’ll protect her baby from her fear. I’m not giving up, she sniffles.
Jack relays the theory that Tara wanted Summer gone just as much as Sally did. Well, either Phyllis or Sally’s lying – take your pick of two seasoned liars. That’s insane, Tara claims. Are you sure you’re not the one who’s lying? Jack understands going to extremes to protect family. He’s trying to help Tara out from under all this before it explodes.
Back at the hotel, Phyllis is furiously looking for something on her laptop (which she quickly closes when Nick appears to ask how it went with Jack) – and what were you doing on your computer? What are you really up to?
