Phyllis easily avoids Daniel’s questions about Tucker by announcing that Chris wants to prosecute both her AND Summer. It never stops with you, Daniel scoffs at his Mom’s claim that she was trying to protect them.
Sharon leaves when Tucker arrives at Adam’s ‘pad’ to ask why he’s helping Phyllis of all people. Sure, he’ll listen to Tucker’s proposition – briefly.
Tucker’s offering a simple deal – he can make things happen. What does Adam want? Keep Phyllis out of prison, Adam has his reasons. Release Carson to Phyllis.
Hearing that Chris won’t charge Summer if Phyllis pleads guilty, Daniel orders her to do it. You’ve been begging for a chance to make things right. There must be some other way, Phyllis is sure. No – there is no other way – THIS is the way. Please, Mom – for once in your life, do the right thing!
Abby wants her Mom to make peace with her Uncle Jack. Ashley will try so they can be there for one another at her wedding.
You don’t know Chris like I know Chris, Phyllis believes she can keep herself and Summer out of prison. Guessing that she made a deal with Tucker, Daniel demands she do the right thing – take the deal – face the consequences – make amends, he marches out.
Ashley asks Abby to try to get Jack to attend the wedding. He doesn’t have to hug Tucker or give any speeches.
In the park, Daniel updates Lily. He can’t even look at his Mom; always talking about protecting us yet she needs to think about taking a deal that would keep Summer free. Yes, he WILL protect his sister – even if it means standing up to his own Mother.
Sharon sashays over to Phyllis to needle her about yet another situation she’s created for herself. You must have something up your sleeve. Yes, Phyllis always does.
Abby comes home to relay her meeting with Ashley to Devon. Both hope everyone can come together for the wedding. Abby vows to make it happen.
Daniel can’t let Summer suffer for their Mom’s choices. Does Lily have any ideas? (look like she might)
Sharon thinks Phyllis should take a long, hard look at herself. You’ll have to beat the charges if you want to be part of what Nick, Adam and I are working on. On cue, Adam appears.
Back at the house, Ashley clearly isn’t done scheming. Tucker hopes Billy will join forces with them, since we can’t count on Phyllis anymore. Don’t worry, nothing I can’t handle, he gives Ashley a hug.
Next Week; It’s as much in your interest to keep this scandal buried as it is mine and Tucker’s, Audra tells Adam … Heather balks – Phyllis is my client, it’s my job to protect her. Even if it means Summer taking the blame? Daniel pressures her … Can we cash you in? Tucker asks. Billy asks him and Ashley what’s in it for him.
My Thoughts: I too am surprised that Devon didn’t hear Lily knocking at his front door. The only thing funnier than her asking ‘are you deaf?’ would be her wondering why two billionaires haven’t installed Ring/Nest or why the estate doesn’t even a doorbell. At least the ranch has a manned security gate – for all the good it does…. Good Lord – who could ever question Ashley’s integrity? INTEGRITY!? Certainly not the daughter conceived with stolen sperm – of the mother who paid a lab tech to alter her Uncle Jack’s paternity test. The nerve!…. Ashley’s obsession with her brother’s wife is just plain gross – and so is her hair do today. A beehive that big belongs on only two women.
