Phyllis has no idea who left a half bottle of wine and glasses outside her suite but Derek’s asked to have housekeeping remove them. And, when Amanda arrives to greet her friend, Phyllis wastes no time announcing her split with Jack.
Coming home, Jack chats to Diane about her outing to the park with Harrison (in the kitchen eating cookies) Glad to hear that Ally’s spending time with Noah, Jack hopes she’ll stick around. He’s amused when Diane yet again takes credit.
Running into Elena at the office, Imani taunts her about Nate. He’s not here, he’s having lunch with Devon at Society. Funny that I know his coming and goings more than you.
Devon uses Society’s lack of fruit tarts to segue into Nate getting up on stage to promise 50 new podcasts. No – we don’t have 50 podcasts ‘in the pipeline’ (he explains what ‘the pipeline’ is)
When Jack makes it clear that he’s still suspicious of Diane, she takes that to mean that he’s starting to trust her. Fearing she may have overstepped with Kyle, Diane could use Jack’s advice.
Phyllis apologized to Jack for everything and even extended an olive branch to ‘that bitch’ because Summer practically begged her to. Amanda tears up at the mention of the Mother-daughter bond.
Devon urges Nate to get up to speed on how things work around here. Nate’s sorry for jumping the gun and appreciates Devon’s patience. Elena arrives at Society to share her idea for a medical podcast. Devon likes the idea but Nate doesn’t see how they can do it.
Meeting Kyle and Summer at CL’s, Chelsea can tell they have something up their sleeves. Do tell.
Diane tells Jack that she regrets asking Kyle about a job – he’s got enough on his plate but said he’ll keep his ears open. Jack won’t intervene – this is between you and Kyle.
Summer tells Chelsea that she wants to bring her onboard to design a new line for Marchetti. Lauren? Oh, she cleared ‘Chelsea Lawson for Marchetti’. You’re the perfect person to take over for Angelina. Chelsea has to talk to her partner, Chloe. But, as far she’s concerned, put the champagne on ice.
Amanda tells Phyllis that her Mother’s lost movement in half her body and can’t speak due to her stroke. She’ll be in the hospital for a week and can only see one visitor (Sutton) I have to prepare Imani to see her Mother like this – she’s scared. Sorry to hear it, Phyllis seems jealous to hear how supportive Devon is.
Whether Phyllis loves Jack or not doesn’t matter – it’s over. We weren’t meant for each other; especially not with Diane in town. She infuriates me! Jack said I’m only happy when chasing happiness. Amanda preaches patience.
