In her suite, Victoria suggests they merge Newman and Locke Communications. Ashland wonders what it would look like if it got out that he was sick. Victoria wants to help ensure his company will thrive and survive intact. She knows his goals and can trust her to see them through. He finds that a compelling argument. If he refuses, will this be the last time he sees her? She likes being with him. It’s lonely at the top and she acknowledges that she has arrived without being arrogant. He doesn’t think she should have to apologize for her accomplishments. She agrees and thinks he gives good advice, too. She talks about being in his books since the Cyaxares meeting and decides to let him ruminate in peace. He invites her to stay, but she takes off. Summer finds Sally in the lounge downstairs and reveals she knows that Sally and Tara worked together against her. Sally pretends she has no idea what Summer’s on about and when Summer reveals Angelina offered the job to her, Sally acts indignant about everything falling into her lap once again but Summer can see right through her. Summer guesses she and Tara are conspiring against her but Sally denies it. “It’s like you’re Cinderella and I’m the Wicked Step-sister,” Summer says she didn’t even express interest in this job to anyone. Sally asks if she’ll take it and encourages her to, citing that she’d be crazy not to. She stomps off, faking indignance. Later, Victoria runs into Billy, who comments that she must have been in Ashland’s suite. She pretends otherwise and he asks her for a drink. He has some convincing to do and finally wins her over. Crystal gets them some drinks and they talk about the kids’ day camp arts and crafts and baseball that they’ve been enjoying. Billy asks if she’s met Ashland’s son. She can’t believe he was unable to go two minutes without mentioning Ashland and then hits him with a reminder that he never told her that he was moving in with Lily. Billy says she can’t compare sweet Lily with the “Loch Ness Monster.” Victoria asks if he ever thinks she knows what she’s doing. “Maybe I have a plan.” Lily appears and Victoria snipes at Billy to leave her be and goes. Billy babbles to Lily that Victoria’s playing with fire with Locke. Lily thinks if his alarm bells are going off and they should listen to them.
A shadow crosses over Abby at the Chancellor’s mansion as she sleeps. Nina comes in and wakes her by turning the light on. Abby looks around and seems as if she noticed someone was there but it’s sonly Nina. “I must have been dreaming,” she says. Mariah appears and Nina tells them Christine has a lead about Chance’s wellbeing. She has no other news and can’t get anything else. They sniff scents and Nina calls herself a perfume marketer’s nightmare since she’s been using the same scent for so long. Mariah thinks a repeat customer is good. Christine shows up with news about Chance. Cricket’s contact heard from Chance after the dropped call and learned he was originally sent to Michigan but that doesn’t mean he’s still there. He’s closing in on his contact, which means the end is in sight. It’s crucial to maintain his cover. He can’t risk being exposed. After Cricket’s gone, Mariah munches on chips and marshmallow fluff while Abby reads about organized crime and terrorist business in Michigan. Abby can’t distract herself with perfume samples while Chance’s job is so big. Later, they play a game of playing songs and Mariah will try to figure out if the baby is responding. Abby plays something and the baby kicks. “He’s liking it!” Mariah starts to dance and the women laugh. Abby’s left alone and someone watches her through the window.

At the Abbott’s, Tara and Kyle discuss Harrison’s anxiety over losing the ball Kyle gave him. Tara assumes it’s anxiety from the changes to his life. Kyle ordered books on how children grieve so he can help him through it when the time comes. Tara’s impressed and thinks it’s important that he’s consistent in his life. Talk turns to Lauren and the job offer. Tara says she’ll call her. “It never hurts to listen.” She appreciates his family’s hospitality but wants to be independent. She talks about all of the family that will be Harrison’s now. Summer turns up, ready to tell Kyle why she was upset earlier, but Tara appears and tells Kyle that his son is asking for him. The women discuss Marchetti’s offer. Summer hasn’t taken it and hopes she realizes how irrational it is for her to toss around threats. Kyle has more than enough room in his heart for both her and his kid. Tara will take Kyle’s son and never look back if she doesn’t take the job. Summer tells Tara she’s not a threat to her. Tara thinks her kid deserves a family that’s complete. “Parents that are together in a loving and supporting relationship. He fell for me before. It’ll be easy to rekindle those feelings.” Summer calls her delusional. What they had isn’t comparable to what they have. Tara says things change. Tara wants her to set Kyle free before she goes. “Cancel the wedding, call off the engagement, tell him it’s over.” Summer calls her manipulative and thinks that she manipulated him in New York. Tara calls Summer naive and thinks what they had in New York still exists. “I know you can sense our connection.” Otherwise, why is she rushing the wedding? Summer accuses Tara of wanting to latch on to another wealthy man, but Jabot is smaller than Ashland’s company. “You utter bitch,” Summer says. “Oh, sweetie. You have no idea.” She reiterates. Leave town or she will — with Harrison. Kyle returns and Tara goes for a walk. Summer struggles with tears and when Kyle asks what’s up, she lies that it’s a work thing.
