As Ben remains silent, Abby’s miffed that no one’s patting her on the back. Ashley’s very proud of her. Thank you – but Abby wonders why they had long faces. Victor? Abby’s a respected player at NE – she won’t let anything happen to her family (either one) Ashley worries that Abby can’t prevent it – Victor will do anything to get what he wants.
Neil’s again at Hilary’s side. I hurt Gwen badly today – she didn’t deserve that. We might have had something – if he hadn’t met and fallen in love with Hilary. It sure went to hell in a hand-basket. At least Gwen’s out of it now – she can’t hurt me. I can’t hurt her.
Kevin finds himself in the dark. Oh come on! Another blackout?! Not this time – Mariah comes out in lingerie – awkwardly trying to strike a sexy pose. Wowed, Kevin has an idea on what she can ‘do with her hands’. As they kiss, clothes start coming off.
Having enjoyed leftover Trout Almondine, Jack will hire Fred next time Mrs Martinez goes on vacation. Should I be jealous of this guy? No – you’re IT Jack Abbott. All we’ve been through to get back to one another. Jack produces a replacement wedding ring, which Phyllis puts on his finger. It’s kismet – fate – destiny – we’re stuck with each other.
In his camper, a giddy Ian sings to classical music as he chuckles at his laptop – Chelsea 2.0 – be careful what you sew – misery and woe.
At the club, Abby mopes to Ben – so much for celebrating. She then gets a text – Chelsea 2.0 is spiking again. A good thing right? No. This can’t be accurate – something’s wrong.
Ian continues to sing as he manipulates the Chelsea 2.0 numbers online… You are my puppet show – Chelsea 2.0. ha ha ha.
Next: Cane (with Mike) arrives at the club. What would I be happy about? he asks Collin – then is NOT happy when Joe zooms a delighted Charlie by (like he’s a plane) …. Tell Mama your troubles baby, the hooker is seated with him at CL’s. Dylan would rather talk about Devon Hamilton’s bachelor party…. I’m responsible for Hilary’s disappearance, Neil stuns Devon.
My Thoughts: The first good thing in his life in a long time. That’s the exact same words Neil uttered to Hilary last year. He needs to get some new lines (then again, it seems to be working for him) … Ben might be reinstated, but he’s just a resident at CGM – he shouldn’t be reprimanding anyone on staff … If there’s a worm in NE’s computer system, why isn’t the IT department (or Kevin) working hard to eradicate it? And really Ashley? Backing up Jabot’s ‘cell phones and laptops’? To what? And isn’t that being done nightly anyway? …. Why did Neil say the drug badge was ‘stolen’ – instead of misplaced? There’s no way a hospital would house narcotics in a supply closet. Those need to be signed out and accounted for. Even if the heavy stuff was in there, Neil didn’t take any pills or pain meds – he’s giving Hilary saline (I think?) … The building Kevin lives in is where the very wealthy Baldwin’s live – I doubt it has a weak wifi signal … Hard to believe that Mariah’s the same woman who we were first introduced to from the legs down – as she strutted around in a mini skirt and stilettos. Once engaged to a player like Tyler – and now she’s completely inept at seduction? … Odd to hear Phyllis mention her son Daniel and Lucy (considering we haven’t heard anything about them since Victor sent him off to show his art in India) …. Er – didn’t Victor ask Kevin to keep their ‘secret’ project ‘within these four walls’ (his office?)
