Lily sees no rush – Mariah will wait for Devon to fall in love, and she’ll appreciate your honesty. She thought she had that with Cane and look how that turned out.
Hilary thinks Mariah’s closer to ‘little miss alternative’ than Devon. Mariah’s had enough – she’s going home. Oh right – you still live with your Mom, Hilary laughs. Be honest with yourself – you and Devon have peaked. Mariah’s left to stomp off speechless.
Nick and Nikki are at CL’s. He hopes his Mom didn’t feel she had to choose between him and Victor. She thinks it best to keep contact to a minimum for the sake of peace.
Seated for dinner, Victor whines about Nikki and Nick not joining them. Vikki’s sorry she overreacted to her Dad’s offer to loan her money but still thinks it wrong that Nick was kicked off the ranch. It was necessary, Victor doesn’t want to discuss it – and is happy Neil lent her the money. Vikki now needs some business advice.
Over wine, Billy and Phyllis exchange apologies. He can’t slow down at work now (because Jack wants to destroy BnS) Is this about the Fenmore’s thing? If Jack ‘went there’, it doesn’t matter – Lauren has your back; she has the final word. Billy thanks Phyllis with a kiss (unaware that she looks very worried in his arms)
Ashley confides in Ravi what transpired between her and her Mother. Dina claims that Graham should be trusted because he’s not trying to speed up inheriting her money. Ashley now worries that Graham does want Dina dead. She doesn’t trust the man and wants to know everything about him.
Graham and Dina are now in her suite. He wishes he’d been more discreet with the email (and takes some digs at the kids – tell Jack it’s not working out and we’ll return to Paris) No, Dina doesn’t feel burdened – but isn’t happy to hear that Graham has to go to Paris to handle something with his apartment. Brushing past her, he manages some kinder words before leaving Dina to pour a drink with shaky hands. What am I going to do, she gulps Scotch.
While Victor advises Vikki on business, Nikki’s coaching Nick on how to deal with Victor. Be proactive – it’s working for me – live your life. Back at the club, Victor hopes Vikki won’t take her Mother and brother’s lead – you and I can put all this tension behind us.
Billy and Phyllis continue their apologies. She knows he’s not attracted to Vikki; that’s over – and that’s all that matters. You know how much I love you – there’s only you, Billy says (as he flashes back to Vikki kissing him – then kisses Phyllis)
Next: How’s it going? Are you winning, or losing? Hilary asks Phyllis … There’s something we should talk about, Billy says. It’s fine, Vikki smiles, guessing correctly it’s the kiss … You have no idea how glad I am to see you, Sharon tells Alice (at Underground)
