Outside CL’s, Phyllis is on the phone with Matt. All good on the plan? Yes, he’s to save Phyllis’ life in front of Sharon. Wait for my text – this’ll work and change everything, she promises.
Sharon!!! With the enthusiasm of a puppy, Phyllis bounces over to give her friend a hug – did you do something new with your hair? A suspicious Sharon asks Phyllis if she’s heard from Matt. No but Phyllis may have figured out what he’s up to.
At the cafe, Billy praises Audra for getting the better of Victoria (with the patents deal) Did it ever occur to you that I’m just good at what I do? Audra reacts as if the compliment was an insult.
Diane objects to Jack ‘bending over backwards’ to help Nikki. If she can’t figure it out, she doesn’t deserve to run Vibrante! Jack wants to know how they get past Diane’s anger about his friendship with Nikki.
Knock knock. As soon as Matt opens the door to his motel room, Patty bursts in wearing a baseball cap and dark glasses.
Diane complains that Jack sees Nikki as a wounded bird and worries that Victor will use Vibrante as a weapon. Raising his voice, Jack’s no fool. He offered to be a sounding board. I know what I’m doing!
Insisting that Matt wanted to make amends, Phyllis believes he left town. Sharon doesn’t feel guilty about that and isn’t obligated to forgive Matt. He has no one, no job, no money, no family – he’s probably sleeping on a park bench, Phyllis won’t look for him – where would I even begin?
