Nick’s marching up the staircase when Kyle comes through the revolving door. He looks pissed – everything OK? he asks Victoria (who invites him to sit for a drink) Kyle agrees – as long as we don’t talk about our families.
What was your plan? Matt was going to rip off his ankle monitor and ditch Victor’s security. Phyllis declares the plan ‘lame’. You’re not the kind of guy I usually go for but we’re alike – two peas in a pod. She knows what it’s like to want to run from baggage. What does Phyllis want? Company.
This isn’t just about me, Traci tells Diane – it’s about Ashley, Phyllis and Sharon. She’s furious that she was duped by Martin. If he knows where Markham’s hiding, she has an angle to get that information.
Over drinks, Kyle decides that he and Victoria have nothing to talk about except their families. As an ice breaker, he suggests they both share something they’d never tell the other. You can never repeat this, Victoria leans in to confess that she’s been wearing Jabot foundation going all the way back to her Brash n Sassy days. Now it’s your turn to share a deep, dark secret.
Traci confides in Diane something she hasn’t told anyone; Martin’s been writing her letters from his psychiatric ward, saying he’s full of regret and remorse, especially for what he did to Alan. Martin says he wants to make things right – and that’s our way into his sick mind to get answers. Jack returns to announce that Burrow’s setting up a video call between Traci and Martin.
Your life’s been pretty rough huh? Matt can see. Yes, a roller coaster. Now, Phyllis just wants to be proud of herself. ‘I want my family back. I just want a friend’. That’s where I come in? Matt assumes. Am I missing something? Phyllis reminds Matt that he asked her out on a date – ‘pick a lane’. Matt kisses her passionately. Responding, her dress is coming off as Nick suddenly bangs on the door – open up Phyllis!!!!
My Thoughts: Jack just got out of the hospital 5 minutes ago. Why is he struggling to get up and leaving the room to make a phone call? Why not just ask someone to hand him his cell phone? … Matt and Phyllis have more chemistry than any other couple in GC right now. Let’s face it, Phyllis is convincingly passionate with anyone they put in front of her…. Poor Phyllis just wants a friend. It’s easy to forget about Amanda but she couldn’t ask for better friends than Mike and Lauren… Odd how all criminals end up behind bars without having an actual trial; Patty, Martin, even Mariah were put away without anyone testifying against them in court. And, Phyllis is right – Victor could have Matt put behind bars – and he’d be able to do so without testimony from Sharon, Nick, Noah, Sienna etc.
