Ben’s so sorry. Don’t be – Abby’s not bitter. She’s happy, blessed. Ben wishes her, Chance and the baby all the best. Nice catching up, they agree.
In TGP lounge, Lauren asks Phyllis why Summer wants to see her. Phyllis can’t say – but please talk some sense into my daughter. Knock, knock, Go away Kyle, Summer bleats. It’s Lauren. Oh, sorry, Summer invites her in. Sorry for the late notice but I’m leaving JVC. Lauren won’t be taking her resignation so easily.
Amanda lists all the reasons she’s grateful to Devon for. He’s humble, crediting Amanda’s strength. How will you move forward? Justice will be done – but Amanda will find it another way.
When Abby comes home Mariah reports having a fluttering feeling (which may be the baby yawning) Abby relays her run-in with Ben. Asked who this Stitch guy is, Mariah tells Nina that he’s a smart, kind, hunky doctor.
Back at TGP, Nick’s on the phone – the jet will be gassed up and ready to leave in the morning. He updates Phyllis that he’s going to Italy to help Summer get settled.
Lauren’s impressed to hear that Summer was offered a job at Marchetti (that she wasn’t even looking for) It’s an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. Well, you could have, Lauren has to ask if Summer’s running away from her problems. Maybe – but at least she gets to run somewhere really great.
Amanda will hit her grandfather where it hurts the most. When Devon answers the door, Imani barges in – what the hell have you done!?
Nick invites Phyllis along – we’ll escort Summer to Italy, then make a romantic getaway of it. Phyllis declines but approves of Nick going; you’re a great Dad. She has to wonder whether Summer worries that history will repeat itself (Nick bouncing between her and Sharon)
Yes, Summer got the contract. She thanks Angelina for this incredible opportunity. I look forward to meeting you as well. After hanging up, a crying Summer removes her ring.
We meet again, that’s twice in one day, Jack runs into Sally at CL’s (and again notes her good mood) After she leaves, he looks mildly puzzled/suspicious.
I’ve got this, Amanda assures the protective Devon. What did you say to my Mother!? Imani asks. You mean OUR Mother? Better question is – what do Naya say to ME. Did OUR Mother tell you that she spoke to Richard; that she confessed to having/abandoning twins? And that she told Sutton that Richard knew the truth? Imani hopes Amanda’s proud of herself for breaking Naya – her confession didn’t end there; she just turned herself in to the police department, for murder.
Ben didn’t come to see me, Abby explains. He saw the photo Mariah sent and things got awkward. Max hasn’t fully recovered – he was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was nine. She’s sorry for what Ben’s going through, while her life is full of joy.
On the patio, a glum Ben flashes back to telling Abby good news – we’re having a baby! Then the devastating miscarriage, followed by the break-up.
Whatever you said to our Mother caused her to say that she killed Richard to protect the family from scandal! Imani shrieks – She didn’t want her Father’s political career ruined because she abandoned her babies. Amanda didn’t want this to happen – I need to fix this, she heads for the door. Imani stops her – poor, little abandoned Amanda didn’t feel loved enough so wants to make us all pay for her suffering. I may lose my Mother to prison and that’s all on YOU!!!!
Nick stops by Summer’s suite to announce that he’s escorting her to Italy on the private jet. He has to ask one last time – is this what you want? Told ‘yes’, there’s one thing Nick needs to do – learn how to say Supergirl in Italian.
Kyle’s pouting over a drink when Tara comes in to ask if everything’s alright – it looks like you’re world’s fallen apart. It has. I’m here, I can help, she’s the picture of empathy.
Next: Ashland looks at his phone – how could this have happened? What’s wrong? Vikki asks…. There’s no future for us – there’s nothing left to fight for, Summer tells Kyle. I’ll fight for YOU, Kyle persists – and the life we planned to have together… Amanda glares at Sutton – How did you convince Naya to take the blame for a murder you’re responsible for!?
