At CL’s, Daniel asks how Mariah’s doing. She’s struggling, Sharon knows she can’t do it on her own. Mariah needs her wife, her daughter, her family.
Removing her coat, Sienna’s surprised that she’s adapting to the cold weather. When Tessa joins her at the park cafe, she knew she couldn’t move on in LA so is back for her ‘happily ever after’ with Noah (something Tessa can’t see happening with her wife)
Opening the door for Claire as they arrive at Society, Audra fails to convince her that she’s over their feud. Say what you say behind my back, to my face, Claire challenges.
Cane barges through the office door that now reads ‘Phyllis Summers’ – he wants an answer. Work with me to get my family back, he pleads.
Claire knows there’s more to Audra’s history with Holden – you covered your tracks well. Audra’s focused on her future in GC. Claire confirms that she’s no longer seeing Holden, but scoffs at the idea that she was only with him for dirt on Audra – he wasn’t honest so she’s moved on.
Yes, Mariah’s been through a lot, Tessa doesn’t want to be mad at her. She won’t speak to me; it’s probably over, she tells Sienna.
Sharon confides that Mariah’s depression sometimes comes on like a tidal wave. Has she asked about Tessa or Aria? Daniel asks. She’s too ashamed to face them, Sharon asks Daniel if he and Tessa are more than friends.
Phyllis continues to insist that Lily and the kids aren’t in danger. Cane wants to give Victor something as a show of good will. Like what? Chancellor, he replies without hesitation.
Claire won’t dig anymore – whatever you and Holden did in LA can stay dead and buried. I’m done with both of you, she tells Audra (as Kyle arrives at Society to watch)
Claiming she’s fine, Tessa invites Sienna to talk about Noah. Yes, we dated, but that was a very long time ago – I want him to be happy. Sienna’s a bit gun-shy and doesn’t trust her judgement; Matt’s free.
Daniel’s not comfortable discussing his relationship with Tessa. Sharon understands why Tessa filed for divorce (but hopes she and Mariah’s marriage still has a chance)
Excited to hear that the contract giving Chancellor to Billy isn’t ‘fully executed’, Cane ‘begs’ Phyllis to give it back to Victor. No, Billy WON’T understand – it’ll destroy him, she’s sure. Cane considers him collateral damage.
