Over drinks, Kyle can relate to Billy (both being betrayed by their Moms) Hopefully Billy and Jill can find the peace Cane had with Collin before he died.
Sally hopes Billy and Jill are ‘basking in each others love’. And, if Jill recovers, she hopes their issues don’t crop up again. Jack doesn’t know what that would do to both their hearts.
Stunned to hear that Matt came back then checked himself into a mental clinic, Phyllis is sure he’ll want to see her. He didn’t mention you, Nick thinks she should focus on her company and the relationships that really matter. Is everything OK? Daniel appears on cue. Yes, as long as your mother makes her next moves very carefully, Nick leaves Daniel to ask his Mom ‘so, what’s your latest crisis’?
Claire just wants Audra to leave her alone – no more passive aggressive questions – you bore me. What I know could change everything for you, in the worst way, she leaves Audra speechless (for once)
Now at the ranch, Nick tells his Dad that he’ll always root for Phyllis (to be the Mom Summer can be proud of) Victor hopes he (Nick) won’t wake up one day to find she’s done something even he can’t forgive.
Nick’s warning sounded ominous to Daniel – is it about Summer? No (she won’t even talk to me) Phyllis is tired of people doubting what she can accomplish. Why can’t people just lift me up? Nick and Victor know what I’m capable of; they’re nervous. It energizes me – I know exactly what to do. Not only is Arabesque going to beat Newman, we’re going to annihilate them.
Diane wants to focus on their blessings – it’s great that Billy’s with his Mom. Cane’s there too, and they both love Jill. Jack can’t think of anyone better suited to monitor the mother-son dynamic (than Cane)
Bet this isn’t what you had in mind when you came to this pub, Cane’s glad to have someone to talk to – you’re not bad for an Abbott. They’re about to order another round when Billy shows up – what the hell are you doing here? he asks Kyle.
