Victor is adamant about them not knowing his whereabouts. Meanwhile, Sharon and
Rey are cuddling on the couch at her place talking about the Winters family
when Rey receives a text from Nikki needing to see him. Sharon inquires if it’s
about Victor and he says he thinks so and leaves to go handle business. Later,
Rey arrives at Newman, he and Nikki talk about her hiring him to find Victor
and wants him to start ASAP. Rey returns to Sharon and informs her that he
needs to leave for Vegas as soon as possible. Sharon seductively squeezes her
way on the trip and an excited Rey obliges.
Meanwhile back at Newman, Nikki tells Victoria that Rey is going to Vegas tonight to start looking
for Victor. The conversation takes a turn when Victoria shares that she and
Billy are getting close again and that he even proposed and Nikki notices her
apprehension and tells Victoria to tell it go and that she needs to go ahead
and marry that man because life is too short. Later while Nikki is by herself
she looks at her laptop to see some news about something going on in Vegas and
Nikki immediately thinks that Victor has something to do with it.
Phyllis
decided to pop up on Billy at Jabot. Billy asked what she was doing there and
if she wants the secretary's job. They argue over the money that Billy said

he would get it to her and when he does, everything is a wrap.
At the Abbott Mansion, Summer comes down the
stairs and sees Kyle sitting on the couch. She makes a comment about thinking
he would be at work since he threw her away after getting the parts he needed
to save his precious Lola, they argue and didn't see Jack walk in. The argument
continues with Summer saying that Lola can't give him what she can. Kyle stops
her and says that he isn't going to let her bad mouth her and reminds her that
the so called marriage is over and Jack interrupts, Summer runs upstairs. Kyle
tells his dad that he doesn't know what to do because he is in love with Lola.
Jack tells him to go handle his business and he will check on Summer. Summer
comes down the stairs right after Kyle leaves and confirms with Jack that he
left. They sit down and talk and Summer rants about how she married a man that
was in love with another woman and that he isn't even giving it a year to try.
Jack lets her know that love has no expiration. He then encourages her to take
a vacation or go back to work at Newman while they go through a divorce and
Summer stops him before Jack could finish the word divorce. Jack leaves and
Summer calls her mother crying.

thinks Kyle is there to end things with her and he says NOOO, he's ending
things with Summer. Lola is excited about the news and they embrace each other

with her moving out then they will proceed to the divorce. They share a

says that she can't leave until late and he asked if she would like a late
night surprise. Kyle is trying to get him some Lola tonight.
At the GCAC, Summer and Phyllis are talking in
her hotel suite. Phyllis asked what was wrong and Summer shares that she was
right about Kyle and that he is leaving her for his precious Lola. Summer goes
on about how her and Kyle's love was the perfect love and not the love that he
shares with Lola. Summer is telling her mother that she is going to fight for
her man (yes, the one that don't want her. Poor child is setting herself up for
failure). Phyllis tries to convince Summer that she needs to make a clean break
from Kyle. Summer says you know what you're right and talks about how she is
going to miss working at her new job. The light bulb goes off in Phyllis' head
and she tells Summer to share what's going on at Jabot and Summer tells her
about Jabot collective and Phyllis tells her to fight to keep the job. You know
that Phyllis has something up her sleeve.
At Chancellor Park, Lola is sitting on a bench,
holding on to her necklace smiling when Summer shows up. Summer congratulates

and Kyle. Lola tries to gives Summer some peace by letting her know that Kyle
does appreciate what she did, Summer seems surprised at the kind words. Lola
makes her exit by telling Summer that she has to get back to Society. Back at

from Kyle and she's all giddy. Now Kyle is somewhere with a contractor planning
something special for Lola.

having coffee while Phyllis is briefly telling Lauren about her upcoming
adventure in online accessories. Lauren is thrilled to hear the news and then
guess who struts in.....Mia. They share kind pleasantries and Lauren offers her
seat to Mia because she needs to leave. Mia takes Lauren's seat and Phyllis
notices Mia's sunglasses on her head and asked to see them. Phyllis compliments
Mia on her knock off glasses, and yes she called them knock offs in front of
Mia, and said that she could barely tell that they weren't legit and then
informed Mia that she is exactly the woman that she wants to target for her new
business, women who want to look like a million bucks but can't afford it. Mia
let the shade go and tells Phyllis that she is now a single woman. Phyllis lets
her know that she knows what starting over looks like then asked Mia to make a
list of all of the places she buys her accessories. Phyllis ain't trying to be
friendly, she is trying to start a business.
At Society, Victoria and Billy are viewing the
menu when Billy tells her that there is something that they need to talk about.
Victoria said she already knows what it is, he gave Phyllis the money and Billy
looks dumbfounded. Billy asked how she knows and she let him know that his body
language gave it away whenever Phyllis' name came up. Billy told Victoria that
he let Phyllis know that everything is over and she won't have anything to
worry about. They continue to have a pleasant meal.

sees Mia. They talk about the baby and Sharon lets her know that if it's Reys,
he will be there for the baby but then she threw in the low blow. Sharon called
her out and told her that they know the only reason Mia is being so nice is so
that Rey doesn't turn her in for what she did to Lola. Mia is taken back that
Sharon knows. Mia wants to know why Rey told Sharon and Sharon let her know
that she and Rey don't keep secrets. Mia informed Sharon that this should be a
teaching moment, letting her know that Mia could be dangerous. But Sharon
continued by saying that if she knows any better that she would stay out of her
way.
