We both know I’m the brains of this operation, Phyllis explains how she guessed the code to the safe – 72213. July 22nd, 2013 is the night Sharon put her in a coma by pushing her down the stairs at an MS charity gala. I didn’t push you – you lost your balance, Sharon corrects. The song was playing while we were fighting – Oh God, this game is about us!
We ARE the game, Phyllis wonders what the end game is. Sharon hopes the game is over – we opened the safe. Alas, the phones are locked until they agree to his rules – your one call can’t tip your loved one off. Phyllis will call Summer. Sharon can’t lie to her kids – she’ll call Nick.
Sally saw the truth before I did, Adam recalls. She knew it wasn’t just a drunken one-off. He hated hurting her but can’t regret everything that brought him and Chelsea to this place. Chelsea sees the Adam she fell in love with all those years ago ~kiss~
Nick’s about to go home when his phone rings from a blocked number. Sharon claims that she’s in Sedona; she texted the girls, didn’t they tell you? They didn’t get your text, Nick’s then told that Sharon lost her phone so is using a burner. The girls will be so relieved – send a postcard between your spa visits, he’s then hung up on. Phyllis calls Summer to say that she’s following up on important business leads – sorry for worrying you.
Thank you for a wonderful evening, Chelsea’s still sceptical that Adam cooked the pasta himself. They’ll reconvene for cheesecake for breakfast (since Chelsea declines Adam’s offer to walk her to her room) Sending her off with a single red rose, Adam’s left smiling.
Since when is Sharon too tired to call her kids? Does that sound off to you? a worried Nick asks his parents.
As Adam smiles to himself downstairs, Chelsea’s upstairs looking equally smitten as she smells her rose.
Mariah and Faith didn’t get a message from Sharon and now she doesn’t want to talk to them, Nick sees red flags. Victor and Nikki see no reason to worry. Summer then texts her Dad to say that her Mom called – she’s fine. Nikki finds it weird that both women checked in at the same time – what are the odds? However, they all agree that there’s nothing to worry about.
Nick and Summer didn’t suspect a thing, the captives now ask their captor what comes next. Sleep – tomorrow’s another day. As she and Sharon try to get comfy on the dirty couch, Phyllis suggests they aren’t playing the game together – they’re playing the game against each other.
