We can keep this private if that’s what Hilary would want, Amanda offers. No, she loved the spotlight, Devon talks about how fearless Hilary was; she was brutally honest in front of the cameras. He then gives Amanda a Dear Santa letter Hilary wrote as a child (that a teacher kept) asking for a new dress for her Mother. Amanda’s in tears.
Amanda continues to read – Hilary just wants a happy family of her own, a dog, yard and two kids so neither one would feel alone. It’s almost like she knew about me, is that possible? Devon’s made Amanda a copy of the letter and Hilary’s birth certificate. Amanda knows that her Mother, Rose Turner died and her Father’s probably dead too. Devon needs this to be enough. He can’t help anymore – it’s affecting his life. Elena comes home to look awkward,
Still in the park, Summer puts her ring on the chain around her neck. She’ll wear it once Kyle’s divorce is finalized and they can announce their engagement. Kyle moves his ring to his right hand.
Lola’s summoned Theo to Society’s kitchen – she saw him flirting with Chelsea, and leave with her. She can’t help being jealous any more than he can help being a flirt. This isn’t working out; we should break up.
On the CL’s patio, Tessa gives Mariah a much-needed pep talk; both you and Sharon need to cut yourselves some slack. Mariah’s scared she’ll lose her Mom. It’s not easy to smile and be brave. I love you but you can’t make me feel better.
Sharon wanted to do something good for someone else – but should have been honest with Rey and sensitive to his feelings. Are we good? Yes, Rey affirms. He then gets a text – small emergency at CL’s they didn’t want to bother you with. Sharon heads for the door – you coming? He is.
Nick knows Kyle’s made Summer happy but can’t forget how much his daughter has been hurt. Summer’s hurt Kyle too, Jack points out. Both hope they’ve learned from their mistakes and find the happiness they deserve.
Lola believes her reaction to Theo talking to other women is a symptom to deeper problems. She feels they’re different and wants to be respected. Good luck finding someone who lives up to your lofty standards, Theo exits.
Amanda expresses to Elena how grateful she is for Devon’s generosity in helping her know her sister. Sorry for the intrusion, she leaves. Now alone, Devon explains that he felt obligated to help Amanda and has nothing further to give her. Elena’s not worried about Amanda, she’s worried about Devon.
Mariah’s surprised when Sharon arrives at CL’s. Clearly there’s no emergency. From the patio, Rey and Tessa watch Mother and daughter apologize and exchange I love you’s. We did good, they pat themselves on the back.
Elena didn’t intend to give Devon an ultimatum (not to see Amanda) When she was asking you questions about Hilary, she was oblivious to your pain. It’s over with, Devon reiterates. As Elena leaves for her shift at the clinic, it’s obvious that things aren’t settled.
At TGP, Amanda updates Nate that she apologized to Devon and appreciates him seeing her again, and what he gave her. Parting ways, there’s a distance between them. Looking to make sure Nate’s not watching, Amanda calls Billy – can you talk?
