Back at the club, Lily blasts Neil for hunting Hilary down on her honeymoon. You said nothing while we searched – while Devon was accused. How could you do this to your own family? What kind of Father are you!? she walks away.
Dylan joins Paul at GCM – he’ll support Stich whether he likes it or not. Paul’s sure he’ll come around. Fatherhood’s complicated (Dylan doesn’t know the half of it) Ben comes along to apologize to Dylan and take blame for not putting Max in therapy when he came to town. He also apologizes to a supportive Paul – Ben hopes he gets a second chance with that kid.
Mariah wasn’t throwing it in her face. She gave Sharon a hard time about lying to Dylan but look how well it turned out. Sharon changes the subject to Kevin. Mariah told him exactly how she felt – can I have my old room back?
What does Billy want? Ask your wife, Billy tells Jack. Flashback to the kiss. Go ahead Phyllis, tell him, Billy’s smug. Phyllis was stupid to count on Billy for help. You can always count on me – to do what’s best for me, Billy says. He’s off to see Fiona about Brash n Sassy. She’s selling Jabot exclusively, Jack gloats. OK, Billy will take her for a bike ride – cause it’s fun. Aren’t you going to chase after him? Jack grumbles to Phyllis – it’s what you do every damn time.
Phyllis won’t run after Billy – he has no loyalty. Look what he did to you, to Vikki. He took that slut to bed. She has no ethics. Jack defends Fiona – she’s a business woman. Perhaps you’re jealous, Jack just found Phyllis holding Billy’s hand. Phyllis insists their marriage is the most important thing to her. Jack’s eyes are wide open – I don’t know who you are anymore (off he walks)
Natalie grabs the keys Mariah left – we have your place to ourselves. Kevin wants to work on fixing Passkey. Natalie doesn’t want to go back to being a geek. Kevin thinks the hottest hacker on the planet still wants to make the world a better place.
Mariah knows Sharon’s crazy about Sully but can I get some attention here? Sharon isn’t sure moving out was the best move. You love your independence (and lists why it’s ‘bananas’ around here) You don’t want me here, Mariah realizes.
Paul tells Ben about his regrets with Ricky. His adult life was mired in tragedies that ended in his death. Max is young – you can make a difference. Daddy! Max runs into Ben’s arms.
Ashley puts work aside to ask how Abby is. I’m not fine, she admits – I feel helpless and alone. Ben’s staying at the hotel. He couldn’t get me out fast enough. How do we get past this? How do I get through to him? Just be there, Ashley says with a hug.
Max reluctantly leaves Ben to talk to the doctor (and Paul and Dylan) Max admitted that he wanted to hurt Abby. His only regret is getting caught. Max needs extensive therapy. He can’t go home. It won’t be safe, the doctor insists. Ben’s not happy. You’re saying my kid’s dangerous??
Neil tells Lily about how much he loved Hilary, and Devon. Imagine getting my sight back and seeing them in bed together. Yes, it was awful, Lily agrees – but YOUR lies almost ended MY marriage. Neil tried to make amends by getting Neville’s miracle cure. Hilary’s blackmailing her way up the ladder, there’s no stopping her. Yes, there is – turn yourself in, Lily says.
Natalie accosts Jack as he walks into the club. She’s ready to fix Passkey. No, Billy didn’t talk to her – he wants nothing to do with Passkey, Jabot, Jack – or Phyllis. Jack wishes that were true.
Drinking at home, Billy flashes back to kissing Phyllis (who surprise surprise, shows up at his door)
Phyllis is at Billy’s to say they need to stay away from each other. Jack knows there’s something between us. This ends now. If you want to fix your marriage so bad, why do you keep coming over here? Billy asks.
You can fix Passkey? Yes, Natalie tells Jack. After she leaves, Hilary comes down the stairs to talk business. Hey, what’s wrong? Jack has a problem to fix – at home. Hilary encourages him to confide – maybe I can help.
