At Society, Phyllis hugs the one child who doesn’t hate her. Her trip to Portugal went great – the homecoming not so much. Summer’s tasked with talking some sense into her brother before he does something else he’ll deeply regret.
Heather’s sorry she didn’t tell Daniel she was coming – she hopes it was OK that she told the front desk clerk that she’s his wife. Great to see you. Great to see you too ~hug~
Jack wheels Diane’s luggage through the front door. You’re stuck with me, Diane couldn’t be happier. Jack’s happy to be stuck. Wine poured, they toast to you, me, the future and coming home again. Kyle doesn’t want to interrupt – he got into a big fight with Summer and isn’t sure she’ll ever forgive him. Perhaps your good friend Victor will have some advice for you (Jack’s still salty)
In Tucker’s suite, over wine, he can’t help but wonder what the hell Ashley’s doing here.
Ashley wonders what Tucker was willing to fly to Paris to come clean about. Don’t read anything more into it. If she’s in ‘a mood’, it’s due to her brother and Diane.
Jack lectures Kyle for trusting the fox to watch the henhouse – haven’t I taught you anything? You lied to me, went against my wishes. I told you I had the Adam thing under control but you knew better ad turned to Victor instead of your own father!
Yes, Summer knows that Daniel fired Phyllis – he’s a grown man capable of making your own decisions. No, he’s not – he needs saving. ‘Ambushing’ Heather was an act of love. I’m not the villain here. I’m hurting. No, Summer can’t have champagne – that’s for someone who wants to help – drink your water. Summer remarks that Daniel had his own plan to reconnect with Heather – your little trip may have ruined that.
Lucy’s great, Heather thought she and Daniel should speak privately. When he wants to make dinner plans, Heather lows him down – we need to talk. He can tell it’ll be a hard conversation.
Daniel’s stressed out. People do weird things when they get stressed out. You’ve been under a lot of stress mom. Yes, like two kids – two firings – zero attempts to see my point of view. Summer calls her trip to Portugal a kneejerk reaction to Daniel firing her. What happened to us? Why do my kids hate me? No, we love you – but let us fix our own lives.
Kyle DOES trust his Dad. I guess the question is if I can trust YOU, Jack slams out for some air. Diane won’t take sides – she sees both points of view. Yes, he’ll forgive you – give it time. I’m living proof Jack forgives. Her luggage spotted, Diane updates that she’s moving in.
Tucker apologizes for lying about Jabot. He wants to be transparent. I’m in deep water financially, he confides in Ashley.
Phyllis is sorry she raised two negative nellies, doomsayers. She went to enlighten Heather to the man Daniel has become – the gaming platform. When she takes him back, I expect an apology. Motherhood is hell – damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I walk through fire for you. I’d lay down my life for you. But, I’m tired of being made out to be the devil. Share THAT with your brother, Phyllis marches out with the champagne.
