Vikki and Nate walk past a placard announcing that the club’s hosting a private party. He’s glad she didn’t cancel. Both notice the place is empty – is the club open?
Abby and Devon are set to have a romantic evening in the jazz lounge when Traci and Diane appear to inform that this is a ladies only event. What event? Abby’s puzzled.
This is weird – there’s no one in sight, Nate and Vikki seat themselves at a table. Arriving with Mike, Jack wasn’t expecting to see Nate – pleasant surprise. And shouldn’t you be downstairs? he asks Vikki.
No, Abby and Devon didn’t see the ‘private party’ sign. Lauren appears – and here’s ‘the guest of honour’. Does this scream bachelorette party enough for you? Chris appears suitably dressed.
The ‘man of the hour’ arrives to tell Jack how eager he is to marry Chris. Coming through the revolving door with her take-out, a lonely Phyllis watches from the staircase. Are we crashing your bachelor party? she hears Vikki ask.
Yes, it’s my bachelor party, Danny confirms – a party with only three guests (Danny wanted a private night with his closest friends with no paparazzi) Though neither Nate or Vikki want to impose, Danny insists they to stay. When Devon comes up, Vikki agrees to go downstairs and say hello. Spotting his ‘pal’, Mike walks over to warn Phyllis not to ruin this evening.
Happy when Vikki comes down to congratulate her, Chris is so sorry about Cole. Nina’s not up to celebrating, so it means a lot to have Abby and Vikki there. It’s important to celebrate these moments, Lauren agrees. Yes, Vikki will stay.
I’m not ‘skulking’ around, I live here, Phyllis reminds Mike. She’s made peace with Danny marrying the bug (who was rubbing it in her face earlier) This is a sad party – not even any strippers. It’s so beige – Chris is beige. When Mike suggests Phyllis go up to her suite, Phyllis mutters ‘You’re not the boss of me’ and marches downstairs.
Chris is entertaining her guests with a retelling of Danny’s romantic proposal when Phyllis arrives full of snark; so sweet – not a dry eye in the house. Is this a private party or can anyone join? She’s about to pick up a glass of champagne but Lauren intervenes.
Mike reads a message from Daniel – Dear dad, I’m honoured to be the best man to the best man I know…. To the groom, all clink glasses. Danny toasts the man who made all this happen (Jack introduced his young Jabot Jr model to her rock star crush) When Nate reports that Amy’s cancer’s in remission, Danny reminisces about singing with her back in the day. Your Dad was a great man too. He just wants a simple wedding with their closest friends – no paparazzi. Last thing you want is an unexpected visitor crashing your party.
You do NOT want to be here, Lauren scolds Phyllis. You look like the cutest bug in a rug, Phyllis taunts Chris. Dragging Phyllis away, Lauren asks – what are you doing? Phyllis came for a drink – she didn’t know there was a bachelorette party going on down here. Lauren’s not stupid – you’re a heat-seeking bitch when it comes to Christine. Is it that important to you to ruin her night?
