In the lobby of Grand Phoenix, Phyllis sits and thinks. She leaves a message for Summer to call, while upstairs, Summer flashes to Tara blackmailing her into taking the job in Milan. Summer gets a call from Angelina while Kyle’s in the shower. She asks if she’s planning on taking the job. Kyle comes from the shower and asks who is on the phone. She ignores him and tells Angelina she’s not in the office yet. They’ll talk later. They disconnect and Kyle questions her. She covers that work calls are getting earlier and earlier. He asks what’s going on with her and she says she’s stressed. She feels guilty for asking him to come home. He reminds her that his kid was asleep. She doesn’t want him to choose between them. He’s supportive and tells her he loves her. They agree to talk later. Summer runs into Phyllis downstairs, who asks if she told Kyle what was going on. Summer hasn’t. Phyllis comes up with scenario after scenario of what Summer’s going to do. Summer isn’t ready to talk. Nothing has changed. “You’re driving me a little crazy now.” Phyllis promises to calm down but she needs something. Summer tears up and wonders if she’s getting in the way of Kyle being with his son.
Jack finds Ashland in the living room at the mansion. They talk about what a delight Harrison is. The kid appears with his mama. “Father!” he says. Ash kisses him. The kid plays and the men talk about how amazing the kid is. Tara gets Jack to take Harrison into the kitchen and Ash asks if Tara orchestrated that to grill him. Tara’s worried about him. She wants to be on good terms. He tells her they’ll get along for the child’s sake. She doesn’t want him to be in any pain. He says he feels good today and will treat each day like the last. He doesn’t know when it’ll take over. He’s used to being in control. Tara makes a joke about it that she hadn’t noticed. Ash and his son go and Jack returns and says he’s impressed with how she’s handled things so far with her divorce. Kyle returns and learns Ash took Harris out.
