Vikki’s not sure what came over them last night. One minute we’re arguing, the next …. ‘Last night’ didn’t compare to when she and JT were married. Vikki’s not sure anything compares to last night.
Room service has been delivered but the domes stay on the plates as Graham and Ashley discuss Dina. Checking some gadget, Graham asks Ashley to get his insulin hypodermic from the mini fridge (he’s diabetic) As Ashley pulls out the needle, Graham says it’s a false alarm – he doesn’t need it after all. Ashley puts the needle back in the fridge.
Charlie thinks their Dad going to Paris is a good idea. What if Mom doesn’t want to get back together? Mattie asks – then apologizes when Cane rejoins them to say that Lily seems open to reconciling. What is Mattie afraid of? People getting hurt again.
Nikki’s stunned when Kathy opens Sharon’s door – it’s you! No, Nikki’s not there to press charges (Kathy is the woman who stole Nikki’s purse then returned it with a ‘K.C.’ necklace; a message from Katherine) She explains that she lives on the property; Sharon is her former daughter in law. When Nikki talks about her departed friend Katherine, Kathy assures that she’s ‘no angel’. After Mariah takes Kathy into the kitchen, Sharon’s surprised when Nikki gives her a hug and says ‘thank you for the beautiful, generous thing you’ve done’.
Graham promised Dina that he’d protect her until the very end. SHE has Alzheimer’s, not me – Ashley remembers Graham accusing Dina of ruining his life. Yes, but Graham met Dina when he was in a dark place – Dina elevated him above the bitterness and pettiness; it was replaced it with mutual respect. Ashley knows Graham’s only after money. The only vow you meant is ’til death do us part’.
Sharon understands why Nick was concerned enough to tattle to Nikki – and pleased when she thinks Nikki’s calling her a guardian ‘angel’. Bringing Kathy and her kids here was the right decision, Nikki approves. In fact, Sharon has inspired Nikki to take on a challenge she’s been looking to take on.
Cane talks to Sam in his arms about providing a loving home for him; for all his kids – you can count on me. He then hands Sam to Charlie; I’ll call you guys. Go get Mom back, Charlie encourages. Love you. Love you too, Mattie says.
JT’s about to leave when things heat up again. Clothes come off and Vikki’s desk is swept off as JT lays her atop it.
Ashley thinks Graham’s attempt to befriend her was too transparent. You’re trying to convince the family that this marriage is genuine. Graham thought Ashley might dial down the ‘selfish little bitch’ routine for Dina’s sake. Ashley will do what’s right for her Mother – she’s going to convince the Judge to let Dina come home with her children. YOU’RE the only selfish little bitch here and I’m looking at him – but not for long, she snarls and slams out. Graham’s left to use a tissue to retrieve the syringe from the fridge and put it in a sealed bag.
