Agreeing that there will never be another Phyllis, Billy excuses himself to answer Chelsea’s call; leaving Jack with his drink and his many memories of ‘Red’.
Ashley hopes Tucker giving his housemates ‘breathing room’ doesn’t mean he’ll be be holed up somewhere brooding – but he should give some thought as to what he wants to do next with his life.
Mike wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he let Phyllis’ killer walk but Diane believes she was framed by Stark. He then updates Lauren that he won’t be able to question him on the stand because Stark’s dead.
By the time Billy returns, Jack’s ready to admit that it’ll take him time to accept never seeing Phyllis again or that their love story ended so badly. You were spot on about me having to look back before going forward. However, Jack’s even more determined to marry Diane.
Summer isn’t crazy – do you need to see Mom with your own two eyes? Do you want me to have her call you? Mom WILL come back, she insists. She’s GONE! Daniel shouts in frustration.
Even if the authorities find Mom, she’ll be charged with Stark’s murder and Diane will go free, Daniel plays along. So, there’s nothing we can do. Summer bleats.
Lauren won’t shed a tear for Stark. Even if he’s guilty, Diane’s not blameless. You don’t have to believe in her, believe in ME, Mike’s seeking justice for both Diane and Phyllis.
Over drinks, Ashley worries that Tucker might regret selling his company. No – he has new priorities; Devon, Dom and winning Ashley back. Their kiss interrupted by Jack’s return home, Ashley and Tucker smirk at one another.
Announcing that Tucker’s moved in, Ashely assumes that since Jack’s life is none of her business, the same goes for her. That went well, Tucker quips after Jack stomps off into the den.
Lauren has faith in Mike but even if Diane didn’t kill Phyllis, she made her last months miserable. You’re right – we shouldn’t be here, she leaves the jazz lounge about to burst into tears.
We’ll get through this together, just as Mom would want, Daniel will walk Summer home. Taking a minute to flashback to her last encounter with her Mom, Summer allows Daniel to walk her out of the park. I’m gonna miss her so much. Me too.
Next Week: Morning. Coffee? Tucker holds a tray in front of Jack that’s clearly on its way up to Ashley .. Did Nate tell you that he was going to LA alone? Yes. Well, he didn’t. He went with Victoria, Audra tattles to Elena …If you know something of if you’ve learned something new, you can tell me, Chance encourages Summer to confide in him.
