Arturo chases Abby around Dark Horse – he’s never felt this way about anyone (including Mia) Arturo connected with Abby in a way he didn’t think possible. He’s learned from his mistakes. Mia’s out of his life – I’ll prove it. I won’t lose you over this, he vows as he leaves.
Sharon tells the tale of running in on JT attacking Vikki – things exploded – Nikki hit him with a poker. She wanted to call the police at first but we couldn’t take the chance. Now Sharon has questions – how did you find out? Tessa – she’s the one who’s been blackmailing you.
If this was just you and Nick …. but this is a lot of change for the kids, Jack points out – and is Phyllis really over Billy? Phyllis has taken charge of her life. So has Nick; we’re done apologizing. Jack wants Phyllis to be happy – but he also wants her to be sure. How do you know I’m not? Because you didn’t answer whether you’re over Billy (Jack leaves Phyllis to realize he’s right)
A scantily clad Mia’s posing in the apartment doorway when Arturo arrives. Took you long enough – she smiles as she sashays in behind a silent Arturo and closes the door.
Naw, Mia doesn’t need to get dressed – she’s comfortable like this. Arturo scolds her for airing their dirty laundry in public; humiliating everyone in the process. Stirring up trouble is your favourite pastime. One of them, Mia claims she told the truth so the brothers can make amends. You should be thanking me.
Nikki, Phyllis and Vikki are at Sharon’s – and stunned to hear that Mariah knows everything. When everyone sits down, Mariah explains how Tessa stumbled onto footage of them disposing of JT’s body. Vikki’s furious that JT was spying on her (assuming he installed the camera) Nikki and Phyllis are furious at Tessa. Wondering if Nick knows (and guessing he doesn’t) the ladies have some decisions to make.
Jack finds Abby working from home. How does she feel about what happened with Arturo last night? She’s insulted that he didn’t say one word – he let me find out what Mia meant to him along with everyone else. Jack’s supportive – he’d never presume to tell Abby what to do but he hopes she doesn’t one day regret not putting in more effort (as he does)
Abby and I have something great, Arturo backs up when Mia advances. I’m not attracted to you – am I making myself clear!? Crystal, Mia smiles smugly as Arturo storms out.
Vikki will get rid of the camera in the garage and check the house again. All four women tell Mariah that they’d have done the same thing to protect their children. Vikki never wanted JT dead but doesn’t want her Mother to go to prison for protecting her. We made a pact, Phyllis and Sharon agree. Mariah understands and thinks she and Tessa are ‘broke’ beyond repair. They’ll need Mariah’s help dealing with Tessa.
