Billy thanks Vikki for inviting him to dinner – it’ll be good to spend time with the kids. No, Vikki doesn’t need help in the kitchen – Hannah’s been pitching in. She also realizes that Billy’s taking in more work at home and assures that she has this under control – don’t worry about me.
Hilary and Devon are both surprised that he responded to her text. He’s only there to lecture Hilary for feuding with Lily. Hilary decided not to run the story. Devon cracks – that’s a first. Hilary only recommended a lawyer. Jordan doesn’t believe her either. Ah, so that’s what happened – Jordan’s had it with you and you wanted to see if I’d be susceptible to you. You’re here, Hilary states the obvious.
Lily and Cane sit the kids down to explain that a lawsuit’s been filed against Brash n Sassy – a harassment suit. Harassment? Juliet, his interpreter in Tokyo is accusing me. You? Mattie gets it – you don’t mean …. Lily chimes in to say that Juliet’s making up lies to get more money. It might get dropped – we just want you to be prepared. As Mattie goes to do homework, Lily follows. Charlie stays behind to finally speak – he knew his parents were hiding something.
What was that all about? Dina asks. Ashley playing nice to see what my intentions are, Graham replies. You know my loyalties and devotion are with you. Giving him the cold shoulder, Dina tells him to stay put as she heads upstairs.
Ashley walks into Jack’s office blathering everything she learned about Graham; last name, raised in the Midwest, parents deceased. He thinks we should treasure our time with our Mother. He’s skilled at sounded sincere. Ravi’s doing a search online. Jack claims there’s no time for that – we – YOU – need to get Dina to turn on him. Nope, Ashley won’t use her feminine wiles to that effect.
Vikki won’t fall apart – worry about Phyllis. Sent off to set the table, Billy pauses to watch Vikki texing furiously.
Hilary’s not sure she wants the show anymore. What do you want? Devon asks. I don’t know, Hilary’s in tears – you were my voice of reason. Now I have to be my own conscience I don’t have a clue. Devon gives her a hug – it’s OK.
Your Mom and I are fine, Cane reassures Charlie. Your Mother is amazing – so’s Mike. Hopefully, the lawsuit goes away. Charlie knows his Dad wouldn’t do something like that. I love you. I love you too. Lily comes out to watch them hug.
Next: I hate that my Mother’s being exploited by him. Please, help me out, Jack implores of Gloria….. Leslie, Juliet, Mike welcomes them to his office. Leslie’s surprised to see so many people (Vikki, Billy and the Ashby’s) that’s an intimidation tactic. My clients have the legal right to be present, Mike smiles responds.
