Mariah and Devon have a long talk about how angry he is and how sorry she is. You took my son – I’m your friend. We’ve been through a lot together – I can barely look at you, Devon wants Mariah to experience a fraction of the pain she put me through.
Under the right circumstances, Chris might change her position but she knows Phyllis won’t give the company back. Promising to keep each other posted on Danny’s whereabouts, Chris runs into Phyllis at the revolving door.
Everything OK? Daniel came over because things were getting ‘heated’. Chris is just doing her job. What about a plea deal? Daniel suggests. I’ve got this, Phyllis says – no, she won’t talk to Mike – you don’t have a case, she says as she marches upstairs.
Nick stands by his offer to Phyllis – Matt for the charges being dropped. Nothing about the company. There’ll be hell to pay when Victor finds out but he assures Sharon and Noah that he’s willing to suffer the fallout.
You don’t need my permission to be angry with me – but you have it, Mariah was never going to hurt Dom. He wants to see you, Devon admits. That’s because he has a big heart – a testament to you and Abby, Mariah’s willing to try to explain …..if Devon’s willing to listen.
Where the hell have you been? Didn’t I tell you…? Phyllis is firing on all cylinders as she barges into Matt’s room. What the hell is she doing here?! she glares at Patty (who’s looking right at home)
Mariah lost connection with reality and fell into darkness – for some reason, Dom became a beacon of light that would lead her out. When he was first born, she felt he was hers. Part of her knew taking Dom was wrong – another part told her it was necessary. Ian Ward was guiding her. No, she doesn’t see him anymore. I did a terrible thing; I knew I was doing it. Mariah had issues she never addressed until she came here. It’s the only way to move forward. She thanks Devon for coming and listening. You’re not just angry, you’re hurt, she concludes.
Matt and I are friends, Patty says that Phyllis is just jealous. He needed someone to be honest while you’re just using him to get what you want (then stab him in the back) Matt doesn’t like the hostility between the ladies – he needs to find out why the Newmans hate him. Why did you lie to me? he asks Phyllis. I thought we were friends. Why would you play with my mind like that?
Nick relays telling Chris that she’d be the one to take Matt down. Sharon worries about him making a deal behind his fathers back.
