Devon was going stir crazy at home, Mariah was just updating him. Let’s go home, he tells Hilary. Thanking Mariah, Devon says as he follows Hilary out.

Mike assures Phyllis that she did nothing illegal or even unethical in taking Ravi to lunch. Why is Ashley causing Phyllis to second guess herself? Phyllis doesn’t want to cause trouble for Lauren. Hopefully, Craig comes through. Mike’s sure he will (despite Gloria)

Ravi’s being wined and dined for the second time today. Jack and Ashley want him to be happy at Jabot. Here’s a contract. Jack steps aside to take a call; he needs Gloria at Top of the Tower. Check the elevator (she’s already there)

Sharon worries that Dylan’s being kept against his will by the woman who answered his phone. He’s fine – he assumed the call was from Chris, Paul tells her not to worry about who the woman is – don’t risk Dylan’s safety. What’s Sharon supposed to do? What does she say to Faith? It’s like Dylan had a bad feeling when he left. He’ll come home, Paul reassures.

Frisk said ‘Derek’ would get his – THAT was the agreement. OK, but he has a boss to answer to. She’s overeager – she already called, Alex interjects. This boss is a woman? Suspicious, Fisk wonders who’s really pulling ‘Derek’s’ strings.

‘Derek’s’ boss is Percells – he also has a female as second in command; Amanda. Why’d she call? Fisk asks. Derek doesn’t know. He didn’t call her back because he was ‘busy’. So, when and how do I get this shipment so I can tell my boss this isn’t a waste of time??

Sharon shows Paul Dylan’s wedding ring; hidden in a box so it won’t expose him. Then a photo of ‘us’ – this man protects and loves me – Dylan stood by me; forgave me. In tears, Sharon suspects Dylan took this job to forget his pain; to leave Sully’s empty nursery behind. She hopes she hasn’t blown Dylan’s cover. Paul assures she didn’t – he trusts his son to come home safely.




Back at the penthouse, a nervous Hilary wonders why Devon’s so quiet. Hugging him from behind, she’s ready to start a family. I remember, Devon announces – I know what happened New Year’s Eve.

Hilary knows Mariah was filling Devon’s head with lies. No, his memory came back – Devon knows he was trying to get as far away from Hilary as possible that night. Ask anyone (Neil, Lily, Ben) Hilary was keeping quiet so as not to upset Devon. And then HE said nothing that happened that night mattered. What’s changed? Everything, according to Devon.

Still at the station, Mike tells Phyllis that Gloria was all charm with Craig (his old friend she couldn’t stand before) Gloria’s not trying to get a job, she’s trying to get a husband.

At Top of the Tower, Gloria tells Jack that Craig wants to help Lauren (who wants a hands-off partner) This isn’t going at all like Jack planned. At another table, Ashley chokes when Ravi wonders if Gloria’s another of Jack’s ex-wives. He’s glad he’s single – he just hasn’t found the right woman. Telling Ashley a bit about his great family and culture, Ravi just wants to do a good job for her and Jabot. Meanwhile, Gloria assures Jack that she can get rid of Craig (by making Mike think she’s eyeing him as her next husband)

Back at the station, Paul updates Kevin that Sharon called Dylan and knows it was a bad idea. He tried to reassure her. Kevin has full confidence in Dylan. He’ll be home soon. ‘Yeah’, Paul sighs as he grabs a framed photo of his son.

Mariah comes home blathering about Devon and Hilary. Did something happen to Dylan? I may have blown his cover, Sharon admits to calling him – a woman answered. I won’t survive if something happens to Dylan because of me.

At the warehouse, Alex uses a machine to count the money – there’s a discrepancy. Yes, 5% more, Dylan says – and now he wants this done so he can update his boss. Take our friend to Pier 13, Fisk instructs his thug and shakes Dylan’s hand.
