Tessa tells Mariah that she had no intention of missing Aria’s appointment.
Billy just wants to open Devon’s eyes to what Tucker did to Ashley (not believe Tucker’s version) We’d be doing him a favour. Not committing, Jack suggests they go to the jazz lounge.
Refusing to take no for an answer, Tucker will tack on 10%. Surely, Phyllis must be curious what he wants her to do for 2.2 million. Arriving, Jack squints over at them.
Summer doesn’t want to be the other woman. The answer to Daniel’s question is ‘both’ – she BOTH hates having feelings for Chance and that he’s not available.
Well, you know where to find me, Tucker says as Phyllis leaves. That wasn’t what it looked like, she tells Jack on her way out. Pretending he couldn’t care less, Jack joins Tucker at the bar – Ashley’s come to her senses – you blew it. Why did you come back here? What are you up to?
In the foyer, Billy tells Phyllis that he has no beef with her – he’s glad she was exonerated. Stay out of your own way. What’s the deal with Tucker and Ashley – why won’t he leave? she asks. Billy doesn’t know – he and Jack agree it can’t be good. Avoid him.
Jack hopes Tucker’s not back for revenge. He doesn’t need to hear his side of the story. Go away. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my family. Tucker pauses on his way out to tell Billy he may be right about being the only level-headed Abbott.
Phyllis pays a surprise visit to Sharon to ask whether she still has a job. Our history lingers, doesn’t it? Am I out of a job? she again asks.
Mariah and Tessa are back at their place to kiss their way onto the bed.
Now cuddling in bed, Tessa was a hot mess during her Marchetti photo shoot, all she could think about is getting back home. Mariah’s dance moves did not impress Aria. Both are nervous about tomorrow’s appointment but are unstoppable together ~kiss~
Phyllis is back at the club to ask Tucker what he’d expect for his investment.
In the lounge, Jack agrees with Billy – we have to go on the offense; be relentless; get Devon on our side and run Tucker out of town.
It’d be minimal risk to you, Tucker just needs a few hacking keystrokes from Phyllis for his 2.2 mil. He won’t tell her what company she’ll be infiltrating until he has her fully onboard. So, are you in?
** It was reported today that Billy Miller (former, and my favourite, Billy Abbott) died on Friday, two days before his 44th birthday on Sunday. It was also reported that he was bi polar but not whether that contributed to his death. RIP Billy.
