Lauren’s sitting in the seat Sharon vacated. Matt’s missing, Phyllis confides that she slept with him – ‘it was amazing’. He doesn’t judge me – I feel understood; seen. He’s missing and I’m the person he needs the most.
Matt walks into his room at the Riverside Motel to face himself in the mirror. Sitting on the bed he murmurs; Evil – you’re just evil.
Matt’s sweet and kind, Phyllis asks Lauren when was the last time someone treated me that way? Phyllis likes having him around. Lauren cautions her friend – you’ve seen evil up close. Why does Martin deserve prison and Matt deserves your heart?
Matt writes Phyllis a letter – thanking her for her time and kindness. This is likely the last time you’ll hear from me…
Cane thinks they should look through the boxes of paperwork or ask retired employees. Nate and Devon think I should give up on Chancellor. How do I find answers to a mystery from before I was born. You’d tll me if I should let this go, right? Lily asks.
My mother kept me away from Chancellor because she knew – she’s probably working with Lily and Cane to keep me away. Sally doesn’t think he should confront Jill. Billy needs answers – now. Standing up, Sally doubles over in pain – something’s wrong.
Cane will do whatever he can to help Lily keep Chancellor. Play hooky with me.
Matt’s letter continues; I can’t forgive myself, why would anyone else? With you I felt decent, not a monster. But if that part of me woke up – that’s not a chance I’m willing to take. You’ve been the only light in a dark time, a dark life. I’m grateful for every moment with you. Wiping a tear, he crumples the paper up.
Phyllis interrupts Lauren to pull out her phone. Phyllis, Matt sobs – I really need you.
You’re both going to be OK, Billy reassures Sally. As he calls 911, she’s breathing through her mouth and rubbing her belly.
