Devon tells him to be home for dinner. Lily will see him tomorrow. Once he’s gone, she laughs that Devon’s now experiencing what she has, when the twins’ were teens. She shares that she and Billy are moving in together on Chestnut. Devon says nothing for a bit and then says, “I guess congratulations.” She doesn’t need his blessing but she has it if she wants.

At Society, Sally tells Ashland she can help him find out where Tara and his son are. In return, she asks him to give someone (Summer) a job offer far, far away. Ashland finds it tempting. Later, she’s gone when Victoria appears. “You have made my day a little better.” She laughs and thinks the bar must be low. He invites her to join him in a meal. When she does, he talks about always carving out time for Harrison. She gets it. He loves all the moments he spends with Harrison playing catch and reading stories to him at night. Victoria melts and says that she’d read to Johnny when he was his age. That phase lasted a year. Billy eavesdrops like a fly on the wall. Ashland notices and has to go.

Billy tells her about the bitter divorce battle and he doesn’t want to see her get caught in the mess. It’ll affect their kids. Victoria warns that she doesn’t need him telling her what to do.
At the Abbott’s, Kyle worried about Summer. She says taking time away helped her put things into focus. She wants to put their wedding plans on hold. Kyle disagrees. He’s getting flashbacks to the last time she had second thoughts about marrying him. Is she having second thoughts? She’s not but she wants to give planning their wedding her full attention. Jack appears and asks where Tara is. Kyle says she’s upstairs. Jack says he saw Ashland. Summer goes to take a call and Jack tells his son that creating a negative impression of Tara will be Ash’s central focus. Kyle doesn’t know her well and Jack doesn’t want him getting hit with secrets as this custody case unfolds. Jack’s curious about what Ash meant when he said that when it comes to Tara, he has no idea what he’s dealing with. Later, Tara appears and Jack lets her know that she’ll have to go on the offense about Ashland. Tara calls him a part-time dad at best. Jack asks if he has significant dirt on her that he could use. She looks upset and asks why. Jack tells her about the ominous warning. She calls that a classic Ashland mode. She won’t risk holding anything back from them. She’s done nothing shameful. “Even our affair?” Tara says no because it brought her Harrison. Kyle grins at her. He can’t argue with that. Jack looks from one to the other. Later, Sally shows up and says Lauren wants to see him. Jack tries to get rid of her and Sally takes a seat and asks to chat. He turns her away and she sees Harrison’s stuffed animal and takes off. Jack and Kyle are not impressed. Tara reappears and Kyle tells her how horrid Sally is. Tara invites him to play with her and Harrison. After, they put the kid to bed and talk about playing tag. Kyle’s glad he’s adjusting. Tara is glad to know people are on their side.
