Phyllis rings Daniel’s doorbell.
Danny answers and tries to chase her off but she offers him a peace offering.
She barges in and insists she’s not the one doing the competing here.
The old her would have loved ticking off the most sanctimonious person.
But she’s had a brutal year and feels she’s changed.
He encouraged her when no one else would.
She’s not proud of what she’s done and filling his life with turmoil but she’s changing and wants to do that with him.
“I kinda think you feel the same way,” she says.
He says they are just co-parents and he doesn’t want these complications.
She suggests that Christine is using their unresolved issues to keep her claws in him and she’s threatened by their bond.
Getting close to him, she says she can see the future they could have.
The doorbell rings and she asks him not to get it.
He does. It’s Christine, who rolls her eyes when she spots Phyllis.
She enters with a gift and Phyllis laughs that her gift is big bold and red while Christine’s is just to help him nod off.
Danny has work to do and thinks they both should leave.
The lawyer wants a moment alone with him to apologize for things she regrets saying.
Her enemy is sure she said something childish and says they were in the middle on an intense conversation.
Cricket accuses her of making everything a scene and Phyllis thinks she can’t accept that there is something between them.
The lawyer says she’s stalking him and he asks them both to leave. He asked for some boundaries.
Phyllis doesn’t believe in boundaries and is going after love. Christine thinks she’s just trying to make her life hell.
Christine accuses her of being a nasty, mean girl and Phyllis tells her she’s boring and suggests she’s “glomming” on to Danny.
They continue to bicker about their history as Danny grabs his stuff and walks out without them noticing.
Phyllis accuses her of using Danny just to get back at her and Christine lists her crimes.
Eventually, they notice he’s gone and blame each other.
They keep bickering and Cricket insists that the strength of her connection to Danny will always bring them back together.
Phyllis thinks she’s clinging to moldy memories and a love that should have died years ago.
Sarcastically clapping, Christine accuses her of being the same old, manipulative person, using her own son.
She accuses her of being scared of getting old alone because no one wants her after she kills the love in every relationship.
“You are a bitch!” Phyllis shoots back.
The lawyer challenges her to do something so she can press charges.
Phyllis tells her she’s not worth the risk.
She’s in control and has been getting very, very close to Danny.
Cricket thinks she’s pathetic and the redhead just thinks she’s pathetic and walks out.
Christine punches a pillow.
Lauren finds Danny in the bar of the GCAC.
She guesses something is wrong.
He’s starting to feel like his next tour can’t come soon enough.
He wonders if it’s his fault that his exes are fighting over him again.
Lauren can guess all that’s happened.
They both think Phyllis is trying to be better.
Danny admits he still has feelings for Christine and he’s told them they all need to take a break.
She points out that it sounds like he has feelings for both of them.
If he is willing to put his relationship with Christine in jeopardy, maybe he sees Phyllis as more than a friend?
