Phyllis isn’t happy that her friends are talking behind her back. Inhaling her martini, she asks what Daniel said. He’s worried about you, Mike explains. Chris isn’t right for him – she’s pathetic, Phyllis wonders who’s side they’re on. Why are you pursuing this? Lauren asks.
You brought this on yourself by coming after Jabot, Ashley tells Tucker. He blames her for destroying his reputation and his relationship with Devon. What could you possibly say to make me stay in GC? he snarls.
Tucker wants nothing to do with Ashley. She doesn’t understand how he can run away from being a father and grandfather. Are you going to throw a chair and smash a wine glass like you did in Paris? What are you talking about? Tucker seems genuinely baffled.
Sitting between Lucy and Daniel, Heather hands him a beer. He vows to stay awake for his favourite Christmas movie, Die Hard. Yippeekayay. Heather recalls Lucy being so scared of the movie that she slept between her parents.
