Mariah and Tessa brings the baby into Crimson Lights to see Sharon. They remind her this will be her first time alone with her and she can be a handful.

Sharon is ready for whatever the evening brings. She thinks the mothers seem nervous to leave their baby.

They fuss and Sharon tells them to relax. Watching after a baby is like riding a bike. “I’ve never seen you ride a bike,” Mariah says.

Tessa explains that it’s a lot of work for them. She seems to be learning too much too fast and they can hardly keep up.

Sharon says you have to hold on for dear life until they leave for university. Tessa and Mariah wonder if they should stay home and nap.

“Date night is happening,” Sharon declares. It’s too early for them to become helicopter moms. Aria needs a break and so do they to stay sane.

Sharon has the whole night planned for Aria, a night of bonding and playing. The wives agree to leave, but make her promise to take pictures.

They reluctantly leave.

Sharon gets a surprise delivery. It’s champagne. The card doesn’t say who it’s from.

Chance and Christine meet at Society. He’s been doing a deep dive into the evidence.

She needs a rock solid prosecution if they are going to win this case.

Michael’s latest strategy is a doozy. She never thought he’d suggest the deceased is alive.

They go over their evidence. It’s mostly circumstantial and there’s no direct proof of murder.

Chance wonders if there could be a set up or if Diane was working with Stark.

Christine assumes she couldn’t have done this alone. Plus, they clearly have a leak at the department.

He gets a call and then explains to Christine that the call that sent him away from the gala the night of the murder came from the GCAC. It was a male caller.

He’s sure Diane could not have committed this crime alone.

The cop thinks that Phyllis and Stark could have cooked this whole thing up.

Christine remains adamant that Diane is guilty.

Phyllis may have been ruthless and vindictive, but she doesn’t believe she would do this to her children.

At the Abbott estate, Tucker shows a video of Dom playing the drums.

He tells her about visiting the toddler music class.

She’s amazed he enjoyed that so much and wonders what’s come over him. “Wonderful you,” he says, reminding her of her invitation to move into her bedroom.

She rests her feet on him and he tries peaking up her pant leg before saying he can move in slowly, some skivvies at a time.

Diane interrupts and the women begin sniping at each other. Diane gloats about choosing a wedding dress and suggests Ashley help her.

McCall has to hold her back and lead her out. “I could kill her!” she blurts. So could he but he suggests they celebrate instead.

After they leave, she finds the card from Phyllis’ memorial and tears it up. Sticking her head out the door, she yelps, “Hey Phyllis! I know you are somewhere out there and you will be found!”

At the penthouse, Abby and Devon talk about how talented Dom is.

He was surprised that Tucker stayed through the hold music class. He’s like a proud grandpa.

Abby admits she thought it was a scam, but it seems like he really wants to be part of Dom’s life.

Devon thinks that Ashley could be having a positive effect on him.

She hopes so but part of her worries it’s all a con to screw her mom over.

They agree that being cautious is important but Devon thinks Tucker’s priorities have changed since he came to town.

He asks how she feels about their parents having a serious relationship.

They start teasing each other about being “fancy” since he has a courier rather than a delivery guy. She tries to guess what he’s having delivered.

As she fondles his fabric, she talks about how they need more room for their growing boy.

He agrees. The courier arrives.

He gets a court document that officially changes his name to Devon Hamilton Winters.

She loves the love he has for Neil.

They tell each other how much they admire each other.

He thinks she’s cute. She tells him to take her to the lounge to celebrate his new name.

Diane thinks that’s a long shot. The lab calls.

Jack calls Chance, who starts lecturing him about filling Summer with false hope. Jack explains he has DNA evidence to back up his claims.
