Chloe and Chelsea are at TGP in preparation of their meeting with Lauren. This isn’t just a business deal for Chelsea, this is a new beginning.
At Society, Jack shares photos and stories of Harrison with Lauren. She knows he wants Phyllis to come back from Italy to announce that she’s staying in GC.
Abby thanks Rey for meeting her at CL’s. Good news – Devon’s a match for Dominic. She’s there to ask about what happened on the stakeout.
Chance is back in the alley – reliving how he panicked; Rey not understanding why he’s apologizing.
You didn’t fail, you’re just not ready to come back to the job, Rey reassures his partner (who then bolted)
It became evident to me and Chance that it’s too soon for him to come back to work; that’s all he’s comfortable sharing. Abby appreciates his loyalty but please convince him to confide in me.
Chelsea and Chloe agree that they’re awesome – let’s do this!
Lauren knows Jack would be as sad as she’d be if Phyllis decided to move to Italy. What would you say if she walked in the door right now? Jack breaks into a big grin when Phyllis walks into Society.
No, you’re not intruding, Lauren and Jack assure. Chelsea and Chloe arrive to say their fashion platform is no more but they can now focus on their true love – designing. Phyllis is pleased to hear that Chelsea got rid of Sally and Adam.
Leaving Jack and Phyllis to catch up, Lauren sits with Chelsea and Chloe to hear their pitch.
Phyllis tells Jack that her trip was enlightening.
Chance isn’t happy to come home to find Rey with Abby. What did you tell her? Not much, he didn’t feel it was his place. After Abby goes upstairs to check on Dom, Chance lashes out at Rey; I can’t believe you – talking to my wife about me behind my back – what the hell are you doing?
We’re both concerned about you, Rey tells Chance. Damn right he’s angry. Rey appeals to Chance to see it from Abby’s perspective.
Lauren ends a call and leaves Society smiling at the sound of Jack and Phyllis’s laughter. You made the right decision, Jack can barely contain his happiness as Phyllis gushes about how adorable and charming Harrison is. He has that effect on people, Jack’s as smitten with Phyllis as she is with Harrison.
Entering CL’s on a cloud, Chloe tells Chelsea to grab a table, she’ll grab the tea. Spotting Rey in a nearby booth, Chelsea’s flustered as she relives her dream of kissing him. You’re so excited, he comes over to say – you and Chloe, he clarifies. Chelsea explains that they’re excited to officially be back in business. Yes, we’re back in the game, Chloe comes over to add. Rey’s happy for them – and that Chelsea’s away from Adam (which Chloe seconds)
Chance didn’t want to cause Abby more stress. You can’t protect me from my own feelings – I love you; I worry about you, Abby badgers Chance. She doesn’t know what the next few months will look like, but we’ll only get through it together – you have to let me in.
Frowning at her phone, Chloe has to end the celebration early because Kevin’s alone with the kids. Chelsea wastes no time calling Rey over. Chloe pauses at the door to watch the pair enjoying each other’s company.
Chance relays what happened on the stakeout. He froze, was paralyzed, putting Rey and the others in danger, just like his team in Spain. You’re a strong, brave man – but your family needs you to find a way to heal, now.
Accepting Jack’s offer of a ride back to the hotel, Phyllis declares this the perfect welcome home dinner. It’s the best night Jack’s had in a long time. You belong here, Red. Looking at his phone, he reports getting a random text from an LA area code. As Phyllis walks ahead, Jack sends a text to say ‘you must have the wrong number’. The reply is instant – this message is for Jack Abbott; I need you to come to LA – there’s something you’ve been missing. Jack scrunches up his face, puzzled.
