Jack can’t help thinking that there’s another shoe to drop – which will be heartbreaking for everyone; Kyle and Harrison, he clarifies. Diane loves them too – she doesn’t want Kyle to go through any more heartbreak.
Working with Devon wouldn’t be good for me, Amanda will work from Virginia until Lily can replace her. I’ll miss you, Phyllis pouts.
Abby sadly reports that Chance saw this coming since his return from Spain. He thought this was inevitable. We let our emotions take over – it was a big mistake that might have ruined both our lives.
Tucker tells Ashley how Jeremy blackmailed Diane into being his cash mule. When he went to prison, Tucker leveraged Diane’s crimes to get her to work with him. No, it wasn’t blackmail. Diane’s no innocent victim. Ashley wonders why Tucker’s telling her all this – what’s in it for you?
Still in the stalled elevator, Tucker’s trying to prove himself worthy. Ashley’s opinion is the only one that matters. He shouts about trying to earn her forgiveness. Your goal is my goal. Tell me what you need and I’ll move heaven and earth to give it to you.
Being together one time won’t ruin our lives, Devon won’t let it – have faith. We can only do our best to make things right with Chance and Amanda. Abby also worries about their friendship – will things be weird forever? Do you feel weird and uncomfortable right now? No – Devon doesn’t either. You’re still my best friend and the Mother of my son. That will never change.
Running into Jack and Diane, Tucker asks Ashley to meet him for dinner to discuss things he’s seen in LA. Diane looks perturbed.
Dinner huh? Ashley would like that. Ignoring Diane’s awkward quips, she, of course, has a moment for her brother. See ya, she follows Jack into his office.
Phyllis doesn’t want to lose her BFF. I’m losing you, she cries. I don’t have anyone. My enemies are my only friends – I have no friends. She and Amanda laugh/cry. I love you – you deseerve so much better than this, Phyllis gives her pal a hug.
Abby and Devon’s talk about their nooner seems to be taking longer than the act itself. No, Devon can’t say that he regrets it.
Abby must feel guilty – and we must find a way to undo the pain we caused, she implores of Devon.
Moving her pity party into the bathroom, Amanda really thought Devon would be the one to console her if she lost her Mom. How could he do that to me? Was sleeping with Abby really worth losing me? she looks at Phyllis’ reflection in the mirror.
In his office, Jack asks Ashley what’s going on with Tucker. Why are you protecting Diane? Ashley’s frustrated – we don’t know the whole story – Diane confessed because she had to. Tucker just gave me juicy information; Diane was associated with dangerous people. Jack doesn’t want to hear it. Back off and leave the poor woman alone. Ashley slams out.
Diane accosts Tucker at Society to ask what he’s up to with Ashley. You and I are through – go live your life. And in case it’s not clear enough, stay the hell out of my way, Tucker leaves Diane to worry outside the restaurant.
