Billy’s surprised to run into Tucker at the GCAC – and it isn’t enough that he’s backed off his plan to take Jabot – he wants Tucker to leave town.
At the house, Jack thanks Traci for her help organizing tonight’s party (and remembering that Abby’s allergic to lilies) Diane comes in to fret about her dress not being delivered yet (from Fenmores) Hopefully, Lauren’s best friend, Phyllis, isn’t up to something.
Garment bag over her shoulder, Lauren places her order at CL’s. Pausing for a flashback of her BFF, Phyllis immediately spots the ‘D Abbott’ tag – please tell me that’s not what I think it is.
Yes, this is Diane’s dress for her and Jack’s wedding reception, Lauren confirms. Phyllis takes it personally – you’re sticking a knife in my back; cheering them on. Lauren hope she’s not planning on blowing up this reception.
Traci and Jack reassure Diane that Phyllis won’t sabotage their party. The dress will be here soon. Kyle appears to ask if he can bring a date.
Back at the club, Billy’s clear – his only objective is to protect his family and their legacy. Just like Ashley, Tucker scoffs – the Abbotts are a cult.
No, Kyle doesn’t plan to bring Audra. Diane wishes Summer could come – to pretend to get along for Harrison’s sake. We ARE getting along, but Kyle insists he and Summer won’t get back together.
Lauren has to go to Chicago on an emergency business trip – but NO, she doesn’t need Phyllis to deliver Diane’s dress. Chloe arrives to take custody of the garment bag and leaves seconds behind Lauren.
Don’t think about crashing this afternoon’s celebration, Billy leaves Tucker to mope over his drink.
Phyllis quietly slips into the jazz lounge to listen to Danny playing the piano.
Kyle’s parents just want him to be happy and have a reason to get out of bed. Also, they’d love him to officiate their vow renewal.
Yes, of course – Kyle would be honoured to officiate his parents wedding ~hug~ Chloe arrives with the dress and apologies for being late. Lauren can’t make it but is happy for Jack and Diane (despite her friendship with Phyllis)
