Why would Bethany go along with this plan? You live a humdrum life with no prospects, Victor’s offering her a fresh start. You can’t pass up a million bucks. Sure she can – what Bethany can’t turn down is 3 million. Victor agrees – now that concludes our business deal, got that?
I did it for you, Chloe talks to a photo of Delia – and me too. I thought I’d find peace if Adam went to prison. Now the walls are closing in. Victor made me see that I could be the one who’d go to jail. I’d lose Bella. I promised you justice. Now I have to break that promise. Somehow, some way I have to live with that.
In the middle of the club, Jack reminds Phyllis that he thought he was Summer’s parent once – he loves her too. Phyllis is pissed – you want to give Summer all this freedom to make a catastrophic mistake but pull the reigns in on me. I love you but we’re not connecting. You think you know best (Phyllis hints that he’s like Victor) I’m treated like a child instead of your wife, she huffs off to leave Jack biting his lip.
After declining Travis’ offer, Vikki came to Billy’s to paint with the kids. We made beautiful memories. You’re not holding me back from happiness, Vikki stayed here for the kids, her family and friends – a million reasons that aren’t you Billy. Listening, a visibly jealous Phyllis is hardly ‘sorry to interrupt’. She needs to speak with Vikki privately. After Billy leaves, Vikki assumes correctly that Phyllis is there to ask her to contact Travis again – in person.
An excited Kevin updates Dylan on the footage he showed Paul. You should go, Sharon gives her blessing – see this through to the end. You’re the best, Dylan kisses Sharin and rushes out. Paul won’t like this, Kevin shouts after him.
You hold on to that, Victor cautions Bethany (as he hands over more stacks of money) That’s all you’ll get. Bethany will go as soon as she’s packed. No – go straight to the airport and buy a one-way ticket to a country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the US. Stay there. Now alone Victor makes a call – she’s on her way. You know what to do ~click~ Chloe arrives – is the woman I just passed our new patsy? Victor warns Chloe to stay the hell away from him. You’re not here to renege on our deal are you?
Chloe just came from apologizing at Delia’s memorial – she promised her justice. I need to give Bella the life Delia didn’t get. She would have loved being a big sister. Victor suggests Chloe honour Delia by being a good Mother to Bella. Chloe agrees – but realized something else too….
Paul sees prints in the locker that shouldn’t be hard to lift. There might be something to this, he murmurs as Dylan replaces the cop behind him then with a nod hands his Dad the fingerprint kit. With an equally brief nod, Paul takes it and starts dusting. Seems it’s business as usual for Father and son.
At Sharon’s, Kevin and Mariah continue to discuss Chloe being a suspect. You’re hardly objective, Mariah points out. Kevin’s watched the video over and over. Yes, I want Chloe back. And if I’m patient it’ll happen. Kevin won’t give up on her. He then notices the flowers he sent to Chloe. Why are they here?
Phyllis insists Vikki fly down to Mexico and bring Travis back. Yes, she’s out of her mind – with worry over Summer marrying Luca. This could be our last shot at opening her eyes. Frustrated, Vikki relays telling Billy that she’s over Travis – but she wasn’t being honest.
Billy bumps into Jack at the club. You OK? No, Phyllis and I just got into it – again. Billy doesn’t want to intrude. You already have, Jack scowls – in a way this fight was about you.
Jack wishes he’d taken Billy’s advice (not to clip Phyllis’ wings) I treated her like a child, Jack orders club soda (and Scotch for Billy) I told Phyllis it was a mistake to go after Luca. She looked me in the eye and agreed – then went behind my back. When did my wife become so comfortable lying to me?
Phyllis reminds Vikki that they recently discussed the possibility of her reconciling with Billy. But are you saying you still have feelings for Travis? Vikki’s just trying to put her life in order; work and raising her kids with Billy. Now the idea of Travis is messing with Vikki’s head – surely Phyllis knows it’s not easy to say goodbye to someone you love. Yeah, Phyllis has an idea what that’s like.
