Daniel and Tessa tell Sharon that the bartender told them that Mariah struck up a conversation with a man – they went upstairs together. It’s so much worse than them sleeping together, Tessa tells Sharon.
Nikki doesn’t agree that Cane’s conflicted – he’s cut-throat – and you (Jill might be our only hope) No pressure, Jill quips.
Phyllis is disappointed that Nick can’t see this from her side – you’re afraid I’ll accomplish something on my own. You don’t need to do this, you’re an amazing mother – be yourself; trust yourself, Nick heaps more praise – Cane’s not a solution for you. What do YOU really want, Phyllis asks.
Looking at a photo of the man (that Tessa found online) Sharon’s surprised he’s so old. Tessa continues – he checked out in the middle of the night; so scared he almost forgot his credit card. Mariah left the next day (without interacting with anyone) The last thing Mariah told her before going to Boston is that she tried to kill someone (probably this man)
Tessa tells Sharon that this Will Helmsley probably triggered Mariah’s memories. Asked for his opinion, Daniel thinks they haven’t escaped the torment of Ian Ward.
Nick want his kids to be happy. What do you want for you? Phyllis thinks he must be tired of his Dad calling the shots – at a corporate job he’s left many times. No, working side by side with his family is exactly where Nick wants to be.
Victor comes home to ask Jill if his wife treated her with grace. Nikki tried but Jill’s very particular. Jill knows what she wants. Don’t we all? Victor smirks.
Tessa and Sharon are almost afraid to ask. Daniel thinks that this man knows where Mariah lives – could he come looking for her for retribution? Sharon looks alarmed.
Nick tells Phyllis that she did the right thing sending her father to prison – you can do the right thing again. I’m trying to protect you – do you want Daniel and Summer to have a parent in prison like you did? This won’t turn out well, he promises. Get the hell out of my way, Phyllis leaves.
Victor assures Jill that he can change her mind about Cane. Don’t count on it, she says stubbornly.
