Tucker’s sorry it’s come to this. He hopes they can talk more once Devon calms down. Knowing Tucker will never change, Devon dismisses him.
Phyllis hasn’t felt this way in a long time. I know you want it – what do you have to lose? Danny hesitates before returning Phyllis’ kiss.
Diane’s sure that now Jack and Kyle have had a taste of victory, they won’t back off on Tucker. Ashley worries he’ll feel enraged and emboldened.
In tears, Audra calls Kyle a selfish jerk. Neither of us wants anything deep – we’re alike, Kyle thinks they can play both sides and come out on top either way – what’ll it be? When Audra opens the door, Tucker’s sarcastic – he can’t wait to hear what Kyle has to say.
What exactly is Diane wondering about? She wonders if Ashley would do anything differently if she could do it all over again.
Kyle had no idea what his family was up to. I’m out of the loop, he reminds. He has everything Tucker asked for on one of Jabot’s new fragrances. Are we a go or not?
Danny pulls away to answer Phyllis’ question. I have a lot to lose. Christine? It’ll never work – she’s ice cold. With me, you have heat, Phyllis persists. Agreeing to ‘forget this happened’, she purrs in his ear – you don’t know what you’re missing. Answering the door, Danny looks guilty when face to face with Chris.
Though she and Diane are civil, Ashley won’t confide in her about Tucker. Diane thinks it a miracle that she and Jack are together. Losing it would ‘break’ her. That’s where we’re different, I’m not weak, Ashley marches out of the house.
Send the info and Tucker will go over it while he makes up his mind. No, you decide what you want to do – then Kyle will decide if he wants to share it. After he leaves, Audra asks Tucker if this fight is over – have Jack and Ashley won?
Phyllis claims she was just talking to Danny about old times. Danny hopes their talk cleared things up for her. Why yes, it did. Phyllis hopes it cleared things up for him too. Thanks for our “talk”, she burns a hole through Danny as he lets her out. So – wanna tell me why Phyllis is so pleased with herself? Chris makes Danny squirm.
That satisfied smile was Phyllis saving face, Danny makes light of her making a play for him. Chris has to ask if any part of Danny’s attracted to pursuing Phyllis again.
Back at CL’s, the Baldwins are conflicted. Chris and Phyllis are both friends; both deserve to be happy. Phyllis is a handful but she’s also an exciting, beautiful, free spirit – Mike wouldn’t be surprised if Danny felt seduced by her many charms. Convinced it would be a mistake of epic proportions and that his Mom won’t listen to him, Daniel hopes his Mom’s dear friends will talk her out of it.
Danny won’t fall into the trap of repeating bad history. We have history too, Chris points out. Phyllis is not an issue, Danny wants to continue the ‘amazing trek’ he and Chris are on ~kiss~
Phyllis takes a seat beside Tucker in the jazz lounge. GC’s getting to be too suffocating, he’s ready to say goodbye. On cue, Ashley comes down the staircase.
