Billy will give up this fight until after the baby’s born – what’s another few months? When Audra races in to ask if the baby’s OK, Sally tells her that everything’s ‘perfect’.
Patty said the evil streak isn’t going anywhere. We’re alike, Matt believes. No – she’s nothing like you! Phyllis thought SHE was going to be the one to help Matt. I’m with you every step of the way.
After Billy leaves to take care of something, Sally reiterates that she’s fine – just ligaments stretching. Yes, she thought she was losing the baby. Audra gets it. Sally can see she’s hurting – talk to me.
Is Matt using Phyllis for money? Mike wonders. Lauren doesn’t know but the last time she saw her like this was when she was in love with Nick. Perhaps Phyllis is trying to control one mad man because she couldn’t control another (Martin)
Phyllis thinks that if she can change how people see Matt, she can change how they feel about her too. Or maybe I’m falling for you and don’t want to lose you. Matt’s impressed she confronted Victor ‘for little old me’.
Audra admits that she’s been thinking about the baby she lost, and Noah. It felt there was still a connection. Seeing him and Nate move on makes Audra feel like she’s the problem. No, Sally knows Audra’s best days are ahead of her.
Rom-com or Action? Lily asks, remote in hand. Munching on popcorn, Cane wonders if they want to go public with their talks about their relationship until she tells him to stop talking so she can put Wedding Crashers on. Billy comes knocking. We need to talk, he enters to glare at Cane.
Mike can see how Phyllis might subconsciously be trying to reform Matt to prove that a lunatic can’t prevail. He has another theory – that if she isn’t inviting trouble by hooking up with Matt – maybe she’s performing a miracle.
Phyllis lays out some ground rules for Matt. 1. If you feel alone reach out to me immediately. 2. Don’t reach out to someone in prison for the criminally insane. 3. Don’t leave without saying goodbye. Say it to my face. She grins as Matt rips his letter up.
Matt comes out from having a shower in a much better mood – the world feels safe again. Buttons are unbuttoned, zippers are unzipped.
