Noah’s not at GC Buzz to ask Mariah about Tessa’s song – it’s about the secrets you keep. Tessa won’t talk about it. Why is it such a big deal that Tessa stole your words? If you won’t back down on the lawsuit for her sake will you for mine?
Lily reluctantly thanks Hilary – then confides that she sees Sam as a physical reminder of Juliet. She’s not sure she’ll ever get past it.
There IS a connection between the words she and I wrote – they’re the same; word for word, Mariah argues. Noah would like to see the journal. He doesn’t see the harm in him seeing the words. Noah’s sad that Mariah doesn’t trust him – I’m your brother – aren’t we closer than this? Marian brings the journal over – read it – all of it.
Jack asks Ashley to join the party – he’s glad it’s over. Mike didn’t like being on opposite sides with Ashley. She didn’t like it either. After Gloria moves the party into the conference room, Jack asks for a moment alone with his sister.
Folding baby laundry, Hilary would be pissed too but if anyone can make this work, it’s Lily. Don’t mention my doubts to Cane please, Lily implores. What doubts? Hilary leaves (and Sam immediately begins to fuss) This time Lily manages to calm him down.
Journal in hand, Noah agrees – it’s word for word. But you’re still keeping secrets. Mariah reads the passage about kissing Tessa on their trip. My girlfriend and my sister!? Noah shoves the journal at Mariah and leaves her in tears.
Why didn’t you use your key? Vikki opens the door. JT’s back to scene of the crime – to apologize and atone … The phone rings – Vikki turns it off. JT plays the song they first danced to (and will dance to now)
Still in the office, Jack vows to do everything he can to repair their relationship – Ashley is valued at Jabot. Ashley’s done with Jack and she’s resigning from Jabot. Jack’s left looking devastated.
