On the CL’s patio, Mariah runs Devon’s idea by Kyle – but where do I find a PI to find Tessa? And how much will it cost? Kyle insists on paying for it and won’t let Mariah pay him back. Mariah warns she make like him if he keeps this up. You’ll get a call this afternoon, Kyle’s rewarded with a hug. You’re a good person (despite doing shady things) Mariah trusts Kyle (but not Summer) Kyle just wants a seat at the table. Not just any seat – THE seat. Who will be sitting next to you? Where does Summer fit into this? Mariah asks.

Arriving at Jabot with Billy, Phyllis gets a call (as Summer appears to watch) Eyeballing Summer, Billy hurries Phyllis out for a very indulgent lunch. Summer’s left to sulk alone.

Nate’s doing some sort of martial arts work out when Vikki drops by the penthouse to make it clear that she’s not his patient or his concern. I’m not in distress – you don’t know me. Back the hell off, she warns and slams out.

Rey thanks the Newmans’ for their time – it was a pleasure to meet you. Now back at the bar, he flips through various photos he’s taken of his suspects.

On the rooftop, a giggly Phyllis wonders what got into Billy. She’s worried about Summer. Billy doesn’t want Phyllis to worry her pretty little head about her ‘wild child’. Even if Summer was attracted – it takes two. I’m only interested in one woman. It’s time we get out own place, he surprises Phyllis.

On the elevator, Summer’s again on the phone. She won’t need a room with a view – she won’t be spending much time there.

There’s a guy she’s obsessed with, Kyle informs Mariah – it’s inappropriate; he might as well be married. She might be falling for the guy (or has convinced herself she has) Summer may be a trainwreck but Kyle still cares for her. If the rules don’t apply to her, they don’t apply to me.

Next: Neil pursues Ashley … Cane comfort Lily … Kyle spills a secret.
