Jack’s at home worrying because Kyle hasn’t called him – he wants his son and wife to be OK. This all ends tonight, he vows as he looks at the message he sent from Patty’s phone.
Diane’s also impatient – come on Dr Markham – let’s get this show on the road. You bastard! Catching herself, she pretends she’s referring to Jack (in case there’s cameras in the house) She’s trying to get into Markham’s burner phone again when she hears a crash followed by barking
Patty appears in a satin robe to tell Jack that the hot tub is hot ‘and so am I’. You want me, she kisses Jack’s hand and demands he embrace this moment.
Laurence? Kyle!! A relieved Diane runs into her sons’ arms.
Threats are not foreplay, Jack can barely hide his loathing. Happy wife, happy life, Patty declares herself the first and future Mrs Jack Abbott. I don’t want you, Jack’s blunt. Fake it til you make it or your wife will pay the price, Patty warns.
Kyle tells his Mom that Jack was here but was chased away by Markham’s dogs. He’ll be back any minute! Diane wants to get out of there. Kyle gave the dogs all the beef he could carry but doesn’t think it safe to escape.
No longer the naive young woman Jack cheated on with Diane, Patty demands he take her robe off. We can fulfil our destiny every night. Jack keeps her at arms length – literally.
There has to be another way out, Kyle’s sure. ‘There isn’t’, but Diane agrees – we have to get the hell out. A car pulls in – Markham’s back!
Patty has needs and desires – you owe me – I deserve this. Jack denies he’s the reason she was locked up and finds her threats empty. You can’t hurt Diane, Markham won’t let you. Have you been snooping around?You cheated on me with Diane all those years ago – and Diane caught us cheating. Make love to me and she lives. Choose me, she drops the robe.
