‘Partially responsible’? Vikki scoffs at Billy’s concern and level of responsibility. We’ll be civil for the kid’s sake but otherwise, we’re done. I’m tired – go find someone who doesn’t know you’re toxic! Now alone, Vikki cries.
Bringing Jared to CL’s for a bite to eat, Devon and Elena reassure that Nate will be in touch when his grandpa’s test results come back. When Amanda joins them to introduce herself, she quickly guesses that Jared was in the foster care system (as he rudely tells her that he’s an adult who can take care of himself now)
At TGP, Rey texts Mariah to ask how Sharon is. She didn’t want me to stay – rough night, Mariah replies.
Nikki’s again wrapping Vikki in here blankie when Rey calls to ask how she is – and ask a favour.
Mariah drops by Kyle’s office to admit that she’s steered clear because he’s with Summer now. But who am I to judge? Mariah has better taste in women and everything else but needs her friends right now.
Nate returns to CL’s to pick up Jared so he can visit his grandfather and get his injured arm checked out. Amanda finally buys a smile by giving the kid some money to buy a pastry for the road. She then catches up to Nate at the door to say that she’s not going to Ripley’s arraignment after all – starting now she wants to focus on helping people, like Jared.
Devon and Elena are left to continue crediting themselves – the clinic is already making a difference in people’s lives.
Nikki pays Sharon an unexpected visit to demand an answer as to why she’s pushing away the people who love her when she needs their support the most.
At TGP’s bar, Billy and Rey chat about Amanda and Vikki both being able to move on with her life now. Billy doesn’t correct Rey when he assumes it’s a good sign that Vikki invited him to the ranch.
Mariah confides to Kyle that she lost her job and is vague about some health issues that are causing some anxiety. Not telling Tessa is a mistake that’s caused distance and misunderstands. In a nutshell; I accused her of cheating – she rushed home – to find me cheating.
More of the same with Devon and Elena. He feels energized. This is why Kay left him the money – let’s go change the world together ~kiss~
Sharon downplays her need for some alone time – and chemo being postponed. Nikki understands why she’d not want to worry Rey of Mariah – but dump those bad thoughts on me; a dried up old drunk (as Sharon once called her) I can take it.
Mariah didn’t mean to cheat with Lyndsay. Believing that she’s meant to be with Tessa the way he is with Summer, Kyle echoes Sharon’s advice – go apologize to her.
Rey tells Billy that sometimes victims lash out – Vikki may Ripley’s attack and here break up with Billy intertwined. Yes, it’s hard to see someone you love in pain, he agrees.
Sharon finds herself confiding her fears to Nikki. There’s no shame in accept support, Nikki gives solid and surprisingly Motherly advice. You never give up – fight cancer like you fight me. Yes, I am still standing – I’m tougher than cancer and so are you! the women share a weepy hug.
