Recap written by Eva

Phyllis and Sharon wake up locked in a room together at Havenhurst Psychiatric Facility. Sharon figured this out because she finds some books in the room that say property of Havenhurst Psychiatric Facility. The entire episode takes place with the two of them locked in that room together.

Phyllis and Sharon, at first, believe that the other locked her in that room as a form of punishment. The ladies soon figure out that isn’t the case when they hear an annoying alarm that sounds like a very loud smoke detector. Phyllis argues with Sharon because she is angry Sharon didn’t serve time in jail or get any punishment for throwing Heather’s body in the river. Phyllis tells Sharon that she was in her room in the Athletic Club and she had just awakened from a dream.

Sharon tells Phyllis she was at Crimson Lights, and she also had a dream. The ladies can’t remember how they were take0,n who took them, or how they ended up locked in that room together. The ladies decide they must work together to get out of that room and go home. A distorted creepy voice comes out of a speaker and tells the ladies they have to work together to play this game in order to stay alive.

[feedback blaring] SHARON: Ah! [Sharon panting] Oh, no. No, no, no. Please. Oh, no! It’s okay. I’m okay. Hello? Is anyone there? [feedback blaring] Okay, you’ve got my attention! Tell me who you are! Is someone there? I don’t understand. I don’t– I– This place, what is this place? This doesn’t make any sense. I shouldn’t be here. I– What happened? What? What? Oh, my– my head. Is it drugs? Did you drug me? Why would you do that? Who are you? What do you want from me? I have to get home. I have to… Oh. Thank God. Thank God. No. Open. Open, open, please. No, no, no. Hello? Can anyone hear me? I’m locked in. Please help. Who are you? I can get you money, if that’s what you want. My name is Sharon. I have children. I have a granddaughter. If this is a real kidnapping, you chose me for a reason. Tell me what it is. Just tell me what you want. You can have it. Anything. Just let me out of here. If you can hear me, then make that sound again, please. Maybe there’s no one there. Maybe this isn’t real. Maybe the drugs are still in my system from before. Maybe they’ll always be with me. Maybe I’m just losing my mind. I’ve just worked so hard. I’m on my real meds now. No. I’ve done all the work. I didn’t come this far just to lose my mind now. No. No. This is real. This is real. This is really happening. I haven’t seen your face. I don’t know who you are. I won’t tell a soul. I’ll just say– I’ll say that I needed time to myself. I will protect you. I swear. There will be people looking for me. You should run. You should run now. The people who tried to hurt me before, they’re all dead. Ian, Cameron, Jordan, they’re dead. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. I shouldn’t have said that. It… There has to be another way out of here. Okay. For Mariah and Faith and Noah and Tessa and Aria and Nicholas. You have to stay calm. Okay, there has to be a way out. There has to be a way out of here. Yes. Yes. Hello? Hello? Anyone hear me? [Sharon gasping] Who is it? Oh, no, no. Dear God. This can’t be like before. This can’t be like with Heather. Phyllis. Oh, my God. Please be breathing. Please be breathing. Please. Please. Oh, my God. Phyllis. Phyllis, wake up. You have to wake up. Can you hear me? Phyllis. Phyllis.

Wake up.

[Phyllis inhaling] Can you hear me? Oh, hell no. Easy. Come on. Let me help you. Can you get up? Easy now. Got it? Let go. It’s okay. Look, it was disorienting for me, too.

Are you okay?

Where are we? What did you do to me? I– I didn’t do anything to you. Wait– What… What did– what did you do to me, Sharon? Why on earth would I do anything to you, Phyllis? We’re obviously both stuck here. Someone put us here. I don’t know why. I didn’t think it was real at first. I thought maybe I was having another hallucination, but no. You are here, and you are very much your normal self. Is this payback? Is this phase two? You know what? You’re really not making any sense. Maybe you hit your head. You got rid of Heather. I didn’t kill her, and you know that. You didn’t kill her, but you got rid of her in the most despicable way. Sharon, you know that drugs or no drugs, you want to do the same to me right now, don’t you? Because I’m always the one who’s going to call you out. That’s right, Phyllis. Because your one purpose in life is to harass me every day, even now, even when we’re stuck in here. The only thing you can think to do is blame me. It’s all about you, isn’t it? You know what? Maybe this is your doing, and you’re lying to me. This is your revenge. Are you kidding me? If I wanted to inflict pain upon you, I’d do it from afar so I wouldn’t have to look at your face. Really? Because I think you would want to see my misery up close. The charges against me were dropped. You said that you could never accept that, so now you want to make me suffer and you arrange this, whatever this is. I was unconscious on the floor. I woke up to you looking down at me. You could have been faking. You lie like you breathe, no effort at all. You’re so deranged. You know what? I’m getting out of here. How do we get out of here? I’m doing it myself. There’s a door, be my guest, but it’s locked. [doorknob rattling] Oh, my God! Yeah, it’s locked. [Phyllis panting] We’re trapped. Oh, my God. We’re trapped. If you didn’t think we were trapped, if you knew this was real, you would be crying right now, climbing the walls, begging for someone to save you. This is real, Phyllis, and the reason I’m not freaking out is because I’m a little bit numb at this point. But yeah, this is really happening. Of course it is, and of course I would have to get trapped in a room with you of all people because nothing in my life can be easy or normal for more than like two weeks. PHYLLIS: Open the door. Oh, my God. It doesn’t even move. Open the door. You have– You’re behind this. You have the key.

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

Where do you have it? Do you want to lose a hand right now? Give me the key so that I can get out of here. I don’t have a key. You did this. Okay, come on. Sharon, oh, my God, for the last time, open the door. Sharon, please. Are you done with your fun? Just open the door. Do you get it now, Phyllis? We are stuck in here and whoever put us in here is out there. Now, you say that you’re not behind this. I’m not. I’m not either. [feedback blaring] [Sharon groaning] What is that? It happened before. You slept through it. No one could sleep through that. Except you did. Oh, right. I’m going to have to take your word for it, except you can’t be trusted. Phyllis, we do not have time for your paranoia right now. We’re in here, and whoever did this to us is out there. Except they’re making that sound on purpose. And they can hear us. They can hear us. Hey! Hey, psycho! Do you think this is funny? Who did this? That guy Ian? Or Jordan? I thought they died. They died, didn’t they? They definitely did. Nick saw Ian die from a gunshot, and Jordan poisoned herself. So, who is it? Is it one of their psycho followers? And they’re trying to get back at us for some reason? I don’t know. It’s possible they met some people in prison, or these are followers from Ian’s cult days, still following old orders. Maybe they’re trying to carry out some mission. But to what end? I don’t– I don’t understand this. And why me? Why me? Why would I be a part of it? Why me? Let me go! Keep her!

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

This isn’t a game. This is serious, and this is dangerous,

and anything that you say…

Um. …could come back to bite us. I’m gonna have to ask you to let go of me, please? Gladly. You’re gonna have to calm down. I’m calm! Is this funny? I’m calm! We need to figure out why we’re here, who did this to us, and why’d they lock us up together. It’s definitely not because we’re friends. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe they just want to watch us kill each other. Maybe that’s the point. For us to turn on each other, fight to the death. Okay, if that was the point, it’d take me, like, two minutes. This isn’t a joke, Phyllis. I’m not joking. It’d take me, like, two minutes. Uh, I’d like this to be over, please. Um, I have a life. I have kids. I have a new job. I don’t really have time for this, thanks, but, um, I’m done. They’ll for sure open the door now. Well, some of us are resourceful, you know? Some of us take matters into our own hands, you know, and make things happen, and others, like yourself, wait for someone to rescue them, like you always do. I’m gonna get us out of here. You just love to make me sound as pathetic as possible, as if I didn’t save myself and my daughter from a homicidal maniac. Do you know how to pick a lock? That’s good. Did you break it? Did you just stand there doing nothing? Oh, yeah, definitely get in some easy reading at this time. You expecting a key to fall out of one of those books? That would be useless now that you’ve jammed the lock. What I’d like to hear is, “Hey, Phyllis, you showed some initiative. “You’re resourceful, Phyllis. “You’re my idol, Phyllis.” Oh, hang on a minute.

What?

Look at this. Look. What, this? Property of Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. Havenhurst.

It’s all Havenhurst.

Same with these. That’s where we are. But you know this place, right? I’m just saying. You know. Maybe you had your own room. Maybe they kept you away from everyone and all the sharp objects. Okay, that’s enough, Phyllis. Yes, I have spent some time in clinics, and no, not this one. There’s nothing shameful about getting treatment when you need help. What’s shameful is inflicting your nastiness on everyone around you. You got me. Yeah, I do. So now, can we just focus on the situation here? We are never going to get out of here. Our only hope at this point is to figure out who did this. Why? Why us, and why here? Problem solving is my superpower. Jerk. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Okay, so… do you remember where you were before this? Yes, I was at Crimson Lights. I was working, and then I went out to run some errands. You know, it’s dark out now, but it can’t have been the same night, can it? I know. I feel the same way. I mean, where I was before this is I was, um, I was in my suite, I was sleeping, and I was having some really, really wild dreams. I mean, wild. I had to wake up and kind of shake it off. I was having strange dreams, too. Maybe both of us had already been drugged by that point. I mean, they had to knock us out to get us in here. You know, I was planning to have breakfast with my kids the day after. That’s good. Good. By now, they’d be worried about you, and they’ll come looking for you. I mean, it’s good that they’re, not that they’re worried, but that, you know, they’ll look for you. I know. Or, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe they think I just took off like I did before and they’re mad. Phyllis, I’m sure that they don’t feel that way. Don’t, don’t, don’t act like you care, okay, about me, please. I wouldn’t dare. Trust me. What about your kids? Do you think they’re looking for you? Um, I can’t be sure. Mariah may have tried to contact me about Cassidy First. Faith was having a sleepover at a friend’s house, and then she had a day trip planned. She may have tried to reach out to me by now. We can’t have been gone for more than one day,

can we?

PHYLLIS: I don’t know. I know our kids will be worried. Especially after everything they’ve already been through. And they’d start panicking. SHARON: No matter how big they get, they need to know that they can count on Mom. I know, and when they don’t, and they don’t feel that way, all hell breaks loose. You know, it’s one thing to do this to us,

to try to frighten us.

PHYLLIS: I know, but to do this to our kids, that pisses me off. Me too. I’ve had enough of this. Enough. I guess it’s too much to ask that we have our phones. Yeah. That’s– that’s the game. Is that the game right now? Hide and seek with our phones? All right. Game on. Let’s go. How long do you think this place has been closed? Seriously? You’ve never heard of this place? Oh, give it a rest, Phyllis. I would assume that you’d know of these places. Yeah, I got it the first time because I’ve spent so much time in clinics. Because you’re a therapist. You’d know of these places. Oh. Yeah, and you admitted that we’re probably here because of you. Well, maybe somebody thought that it was finally time that you get the help that you need. Oh, that’s right. You did get treatment a long time ago, didn’t you? Just look for your phone, Sharon. Don’t try to get my head. It’s probably as dark and scary a place as it is in here. You know what they call that? They call that projection. Yeah. You know about that, projection? Or did you miss that class because you were having one of your fainting spells? You know, I could always give you some free talk therapy while we’re in here. I mean, I would never diagnose someone without an in-depth conversation and history because that would be unprofessional, but… borderline personality disorder comes to mind, and narcissism. If the goal is for us to kill each other, you’re making it really easy. You know, it makes my skin crawl, the idea of somebody watching us and listening to us and judging. I don’t know. Are we supposed to get along? Are we supposed to argue? I mean, what’s the game?

I don’t understand the game.

SHARON: Hold on. I found something here. There is food and a can opener here. How old is that food? Well, nothing’s expired. This is not from before. Is it like– like a gift from the host? How long do they expect us to be here? Mm-hmm. You can have the stuff that’s in the can.

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

You cannot drink that, Phyllis! My God. There’s a lot there. No, that’s how I was drugged before in the sewer. It was the water. There was PCP in the water, and I drank some before I realized it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. You’re welcome. We don’t know for sure who is behind this. Maybe it has nothing to do with Ian. Maybe whoever did this is someone from your past. Uh, okay, well, in that case, we can drink the water. We might have no choice but to drink at some point. We’ll find out then. We have to work together to get out of here. Okay? So then we can drink water from normal people.

Agreed.

Mm-hmm. PHYLLIS: Were you like this before? Like, calm like this?

In the sewer?

In the sewer, yeah. The sewer. That must have been horrible. So, Ian’s game was to get rid of you? Is that what it was? So that Mariah would want to be with him and he would be a father figure to her again? I guess so. Oh, yeah, and then, then he enlisted Claire’s aunt to join him and play along? It was a plan that only made sense to them. I just wish, uh, I wish that Ian had been the one who was chained up. That way I could have gotten some answers maybe, but then Victor shot him. Anyway, at least Ian is where he belongs now. In hell. Wow. It’s like Heather really did die for no reason. Because of some vendetta that had nothing to do with her. I hate it. It’s like this hand around my heart. It’s always there, squeezing some days more than others. Daniel had to lose the woman he loves. Lucy lost her mother and you. You had to watch the people you love suffer. And you helped them cover their tracks. You helped them with their plan without even really knowing it. You helped them run me off the road. Every day I thought I was being responsible for my illness. Taking my medication. And I was poisoning myself. When I look back at that and realize that every day my free will was being taken away from me. My sense of judgment, of decency. I did some horrible things. I told lie after lie and that stain will not wash off of me. I’ll never get over it. Good. You shouldn’t. You know what, Phyllis? Think whatever you want. I don’t care anymore. Don’t they teach you about accountability in therapy, Sharon? Because it seems like you’re really just letting yourself off the hook again. You know all of this. I was drugged. I had a powerful mind-altering poison in my system. I was having hallucinations. Can you even begin to understand this? I was having entire conversations with myself when I thought somebody else was in the room. That’s how bad I was. Yeah, you’re drugged. It wasn’t your choice. It was– I know. I know. But that didn’t stop you from going after my family. If you were to ask Mariah or Nick or anyone else, they would tell you that they could see that something was up. I was either hot-headed or I was spacey. I was having blackouts. You saw that for yourself. Sharon, I know. I saw it for myself. I did. I did at the most convenient time. You went unconscious. That wasn’t convenient. It was hell. You know what was hell? You know what was hell? What my son went through was hell. What Lucy went through was hell. You threatened them. You accused them. You kept on telling them to leave town. I mean, that’s the irony to all of this. If they would have left town, Heather would still be alive. I’m really sorry about that. I’m sorry about everything I said, everything I did. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. You know, the PCP didn’t make you attack other people in town. It just made you attack my family. That’s all. [Phyllis sighing] Lucy lost her mom because of Ian Ward, but she almost lost her father because of you. You had so many opportunities to speak out. You had so many opportunities and you didn’t do it. It’s like human decency took a back seat to the need, this need that you have to attack my family. So all of your tears and your regret, I don’t care. You earned it. Choke on it. And right now, right here, in this moment, it’s more important for you to tear into me than to try to find a way out of here. I don’t care about you at all. I honestly don’t. Yeah, I know. You don’t even see me as a person. To you, I’m just a target. I’m like an easy mark. And you know, the funny thing about that is you really like to say I’m so pathetic, I’m so weak, you love to paint me out that way, but then you act like I’m the devil incarnate. So which one is it, Phyllis? Am I helpless or am I a super villain? Both. I think you’re both. I do. Because I’ve watched you. Depending on what you want or who you want it from, you are both. And I see you, your eyes well up and your bottom lip quivers and you act so innocent and demure. Oh, you cry to whoever will listen. But you also were able to take a body and throw it into the river, So, wow. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Right? SHARON: Enough, Phyllis. Just stop, okay? You could be using this energy to try to find a way out of here. But no, not this time. This time, you’re scared. This time, you’re helpless. And like the bully that you are, you have to take it out on me. But you know, you don’t have PCP in your system. No. This is who you really are. Just an endless stream of hate and rage. It’s what gets you up in the morning. And when you faked your own death and put your children through hell, that was you, too. I spent so much time making that up to my children. My children have forgiven me, Sharon. They barely let you back into their lives. I doubt they’re gonna forget what you did anytime soon. You know, your spite was more important to you than your children. And yeah, I may harbor some resentment at one point or another, but it takes poison in my blood for that to come out. But with you, you are the poison! And any other time or place, I would tell you to choke on it! But today, in this circumstance, I just want to get out of here. I want to be able to tell my family that I’m gonna be okay. So do you want to keep tearing into me just to make yourself feel better? Or do you want to do something useful? Do you want to get out of here so that we never have to speak to each other ever again? You know, there’s nothing I would want more than to get out of here, that’s for sure. And nothing I would want more… than to take you out. And I think that that’s what they want, whoever that is. But I’m not doing it. You know why? Because I make my own choice! I am not a victim! I want to get home. I want to see my kids. I want to… I just want to continue on with my life. I want to get out of here. What does that mean exactly? What do you think it means? It means we have to work together. We have to work together to get out of here. That’s the first thing you’ve said that we can agree on. [feedback blaring] Okay! You’ve made your point! You can stop now! [soft jazz music playing] What is happening? Whoever this is is really, really dramatic. They set the stage. We’re the cast and this is… This is the scene and they have the soundtrack. Hey, you freak! What do you want? What’s wrong with you? We haven’t put on enough of a show for you! You freak! Do you get off on this? Kidnapping two beautiful women! Beautiful women! You perv! Stop. Shh. Just stop for a second. Does this music sound familiar to you? I don’t know. What is it? A listening party, Sharon? It could be a message. I don’t care. I really don’t care anymore. No, I meant it. Stop. Stop. This music is getting to you. You’ve become more tense. What? I was so chill before. What? Did you black out the last hour? Think! Where have you heard this song before? I don’t care. I don’t know and I don’t care. They picked this music on purpose. It’s part of the game. PHYLLIS: No. I don’t care about their game. They can shove their game. Open the door! I swear when I get out of here, I will rip off your arms and I will take your head and bash it in! Open!

[music stopping]

[Sharon gasping] That was a mistake. You don’t know that. Maybe they want this. Maybe this is what they want. If this is a game, what are the teams? It’s us against them. They don’t know what we’re capable of. Then we’re gonna have to show them. What do you say, Phyllis? You want to play? Yeah. Why the hell not? Okay. We’re listening. What are the rules? Let’s get started. MODULATED VOICE: Now, we’re getting somewhere. Hello. Nice to meet you. What’s your name? MODULATED VOICE: Not important. Well, it is to us. What is your name? MODULATED VOICE: This is about the two of you. No one else. And yes, you have to work as a team in this game. What is the goal? How do we know when we’ve won? What’s the prize? MODULATED VOICE: Staying alive. Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. Captioning provided by Bell Dramatic Serial Company, Sony Pictures Television and CBS, Inc.

Did you drug me? Why would you do that? Who are you? What do you want from me? I have to get home. I have to… Oh. Thank God. Thank God. No. Open. Open, open, please. No, no, no. Hello?

This can’t be like with Heather. Phyllis. Oh, my God. Please be breathing. Please be breathing. Please. Please. Oh, my God. Phyllis. Phyllis, wake up. You have to wake up. Can you hear me? Phyllis. Phyllis.

Wake up.

[Phyllis inhaling] Can you hear me? Oh, hell no. Easy. Come on. Let me help you. Can you get up? Easy now. Got it? Let go. It’s okay. Look, it was disorienting for me, too.

Are you okay?

Where are we? What did you do to me? I– I didn’t do anything to you. Wait– What… What did– what did you do to me, Sharon? Why on earth would I do anything to you, Phyllis? We’re obviously both stuck here. Someone put us here. I don’t know why. I didn’t think it was real at first. I thought maybe I was having another hallucination, but no.

I’m not behind it.

Give me the key.

Oh, my God. Do–

Where do you have it? Do you want to lose a hand right now? Give me the key so that I can get out of here. I don’t have a key. You did this. Okay, come on. Sharon, oh, my God, for the last time, open the door. Sharon, please. Are you done with your fun? Just open the door. Do you get it now, Phyllis? We are stuck in here and whoever put us in here is out there. Now, you say that you’re not behind this. I’m not. I’m not either. [feedback blaring] [Sharon groaning] What is that? It happened before. You slept through it. No one could sleep through that. Except you did. Oh, right. I’m going to have to take your word for it, except you can’t be trusted. Phyllis, we do not have time for your paranoia right now. We’re in here, and whoever did this to us is out there. Except they’re making that sound on purpose. And they can hear us. They can hear us. Hey! Hey, psycho! Do you think this is funny? Who did this? That guy Ian? Or Jordan? I thought they died. They died, didn’t they? They definitely did. Nick saw Ian die from a gunshot, and Jordan poisoned herself. So, who is it? Is it one of their psycho followers? And they’re trying to get back at us for some reason? I don’t know. It’s possible they met some people in prison, or these are followers from Ian’s cult days, still following old orders. Maybe they’re trying to carry out some mission. But to what end? I don’t– I don’t understand this. And why me? Why me? Why would I be a part of it? Why me? Let me go! Keep her!

Oh, my God!

Phyllis. Phyllis, stop it!

Why me?

This isn’t a game. This is serious, and this is dangerous,

and anything that you say…

Um. …could come back to bite us. I’m gonna have to ask you to let go of me, please? Gladly. You’re gonna have to calm down. I’m calm! Is this funny? I’m calm! We need to figure out why we’re here, who did this to us, and why’d they lock us up together. It’s definitely not because we’re friends. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe they just want to watch us kill each other. Maybe that’s the point. For us to turn on each other, fight to the death. Okay, if that was the point, it’d take me, like, two minutes. This isn’t a joke, Phyllis. I’m not joking. It’d take me, like, two minutes. Uh, I’d like this to be over, please. Um, I have a life. I have kids. I have a new job. I don’t really have time for this, thanks, but, um, I’m done. They’ll for sure open the door now. Well, some of us are resourceful, you know? Some of us take matters into our own hands, you know, and make things happen, and others, like yourself, wait for someone to rescue them, like you always do. I’m gonna get us out of here. You just love to make me sound as pathetic as possible, as if I didn’t save myself and my daughter from a homicidal maniac. Do you know how to pick a lock? That’s good. Did you break it? Did you just stand there doing nothing? Oh, yeah, definitely get in some easy reading at this time. You expecting a key to fall out of one of those books? That would be useless now that you’ve jammed the lock. What I’d like to hear is, “Hey, Phyllis, you showed some initiative. “You’re resourceful, Phyllis. “You’re my idol, Phyllis.” Oh, hang on a minute.

What?

Look at this. Look. What, this? Property of Havenhurst Psychiatric Clinic. Havenhurst.

It’s all Havenhurst.

Same with these. That’s where we are. But you know this place, right? I’m just saying. You know. Maybe you had your own room. Maybe they kept you away from everyone and all the sharp objects. Okay, that’s enough, Phyllis. Yes, I have spent some time in clinics, and no, not this one. There’s nothing shameful about getting treatment when you need help. What’s shameful is inflicting your nastiness on everyone around you. You got me. Yeah, I do. So now, can we just focus on the situation here? We are never going to get out of here. Our only hope at this point is to figure out who did this. Why? Why us, and why here? Problem solving is my superpower. Jerk. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Let’s go sit down. Okay, so… do you remember where you were before this? Yes, I was at Crimson Lights. I was working, and then I went out to run some errands. You know, it’s dark out now, but it can’t have been the same night, can it? I know. I feel the same way. I mean, where I was before this is I was, um, I was in my suite, I was sleeping, and I was having some really, really wild dreams. I mean, wild. I had to wake up and kind of shake it off. I was having strange dreams, too. Maybe both of us had already been drugged by that point. I mean, they had to knock us out to get us in here. You know, I was planning to have breakfast with my kids the day after. That’s good. Good. By now, they’d be worried about you, and they’ll come looking for you. I mean, it’s good that they’re, not that they’re worried, but that, you know, they’ll look for you. I know. Or, I don’t know. Maybe, maybe they think I just took off like I did before and they’re mad. Phyllis, I’m sure that they don’t feel that way. Don’t, don’t, don’t act like you care, okay, about me, please. I wouldn’t dare. Trust me. What about your kids? Do you think they’re looking for you? Um, I can’t be sure. Mariah may have tried to contact me about Cassidy First. Faith was having a sleepover at a friend’s house, and then she had a day trip planned. She may have tried to reach out to me by now. We can’t have been gone for more than one day,

can we?

PHYLLIS: I don’t know. I know our kids will be worried. Especially after everything they’ve already been through. And they’d start panicking. SHARON: No matter how big they get, they need to know that they can count on Mom. I know, and when they don’t, and they don’t feel that way, all hell breaks loose. You know, it’s one thing to do this to us,

to try to frighten us.

PHYLLIS: I know, but to do this to our kids, that pisses me off. Me too. I’ve had enough of this. Enough. I guess it’s too much to ask that we have our phones. Yeah. That’s– that’s the game. Is that the game right now? Hide and seek with our phones? All right. Game on. Let’s go. How long do you think this place has been closed? Seriously? You’ve never heard of this place? Oh, give it a rest, Phyllis. I would assume that you’d know of these places. Yeah, I got it the first time because I’ve spent so much time in clinics. Because you’re a therapist. You’d know of these places. Oh. Yeah, and you admitted that we’re probably here because of you. Well, maybe somebody thought that it was finally time that you get the help that you need. Oh, that’s right. You did get treatment a long time ago, didn’t you? Just look for your phone, Sharon. Don’t try to get my head. It’s probably as dark and scary a place as it is in here. You know what they call that? They call that projection. Yeah. You know about that, projection? Or did you miss that class because you were having one of your fainting spells? You know, I could always give you some free talk therapy while we’re in here. I mean, I would never diagnose someone without an in-depth conversation and history because that would be unprofessional, but… borderline personality disorder comes to mind, and narcissism. If the goal is for us to kill each other, you’re making it really easy. You know, it makes my skin crawl, the idea of somebody watching us and listening to us and judging. I don’t know. Are we supposed to get along? Are we supposed to argue? I mean, what’s the game?

I don’t understand the game.

SHARON: Hold on. I found something here. There is food and a can opener here. How old is that food? Well, nothing’s expired. This is not from before. Is it like– like a gift from the host? How long do they expect us to be here? Mm-hmm. You can have the stuff that’s in the can.

I’m gonna hydrate with water.

No! Stop it!

There’s a lot.

You cannot drink that, Phyllis! My God. There’s a lot there. No, that’s how I was drugged before in the sewer. It was the water. There was PCP in the water, and I drank some before I realized it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. You’re welcome. We don’t know for sure who is behind this. Maybe it has nothing to do with Ian. Maybe whoever did this is someone from your past. Uh, okay, well, in that case, we can drink the water. We might have no choice but to drink at some point. We’ll find out then. We have to work together to get out of here. Okay? So then we can drink water from normal people.

Agreed.

Mm-hmm. PHYLLIS: Were you like this before? Like, calm like this?

In the sewer?

In the sewer, yeah. The sewer. That must have been horrible. So, Ian’s game was to get rid of you? Is that what it was? So that Mariah would want to be with him and he would be a father figure to her again? I guess so. Oh, yeah, and then, then he enlisted Claire’s aunt to join him and play along? It was a plan that only made sense to them. I just wish, uh, I wish that Ian had been the one who was chained up. That way I could have gotten some answers maybe, but then Victor shot him. Anyway, at least Ian is where he belongs now. In hell. Wow. It’s like Heather really did die for no reason. Because of some vendetta that had nothing to do with her. I hate it. It’s like this hand around my heart. It’s always there, squeezing some days more than others. Daniel had to lose the woman he loves. Lucy lost her mother and you. You had to watch the people you love suffer. And you helped them cover their tracks. You helped them with their plan without even really knowing it. You helped them run me off the road. Every day I thought I was being responsible for my illness. Taking my medication. And I was poisoning myself. When I look back at that and realize that every day my free will was being taken away from me. My sense of judgment, of decency. I did some horrible things. I told lie after lie and that stain will not wash off of me. I’ll never get over it. Good. You shouldn’t. You know what, Phyllis? Think whatever you want. I don’t care anymore. Don’t they teach you about accountability in therapy, Sharon? Because it seems like you’re really just letting yourself off the hook again. You know all of this. I was drugged. I had a powerful mind-altering poison in my system. I was having hallucinations. Can you even begin to understand this? I was having entire conversations with myself when I thought somebody else was in the room. That’s how bad I was. Yeah, you’re drugged. It wasn’t your choice. It was– I know. I know. But that didn’t stop you from going after my family. If you were to ask Mariah or Nick or anyone else, they would tell you that they could see that something was up. I was either hot-headed or I was spacey. I was having blackouts. You saw that for yourself. Sharon, I know. I saw it for myself. I did. I did at the most convenient time. You went unconscious. That wasn’t convenient. It was hell. You know what was hell? You know what was hell? What my son went through was hell. What Lucy went through was hell. You threatened them. You accused them. You kept on telling them to leave town. I mean, that’s the irony to all of this. If they would have left town, Heather would still be alive. I’m really sorry about that. I’m sorry about everything I said, everything I did. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. You know, the PCP didn’t make you attack other people in town. It just made you attack my family. That’s all. [Phyllis sighing] Lucy lost her mom because of Ian Ward, but she almost lost her father because of you. You had so many opportunities to speak out. You had so many opportunities and you didn’t do it. It’s like human decency took a back seat to the need, this need that you have to attack my family. So all of your tears and your regret, I don’t care. You earned it. Choke on it. And right now, right here, in this moment, it’s more important for you to tear into me than to try to find a way out of here. I don’t care about you at all. I honestly don’t. Yeah, I know. You don’t even see me as a person. To you, I’m just a target. I’m like an easy mark. And you know, the funny thing about that is you really like to say I’m so pathetic, I’m so weak, you love to paint me out that way, but then you act like I’m the devil incarnate. So which one is it, Phyllis? Am I helpless or am I a super villain? Both. I think you’re both. I do. Because I’ve watched you. Depending on what you want or who you want it from, you are both. And I see you, your eyes well up and your bottom lip quivers and you act so innocent and demure. Oh, you cry to whoever will listen. But you also were able to take a body and throw it into the river, So, wow. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Right? SHARON: Enough, Phyllis. Just stop, okay? You could be using this energy to try to find a way out of here. But no, not this time. This time, you’re scared. This time, you’re helpless. And like the bully that you are, you have to take it out on me. But you know, you don’t have PCP in your system. No. This is who you really are. Just an endless stream of hate and rage. It’s what gets you up in the morning. And when you faked your own death and put your children through hell, that was you, too. I spent so much time making that up to my children. My children have forgiven me, Sharon. They barely let you back into their lives. I doubt they’re gonna forget what you did anytime soon. You know, your spite was more important to you than your children. And yeah, I may harbor some resentment at one point or another, but it takes poison in my blood for that to come out. But with you, you are the poison! And any other time or place, I would tell you to choke on it! But today, in this circumstance, I just want to get out of here. I want to be able to tell my family that I’m gonna be okay. So do you want to keep tearing into me just to make yourself feel better? Or do you want to do something useful? Do you want to get out of here so that we never have to speak to each other ever again? You know, there’s nothing I would want more than to get out of here, that’s for sure. And nothing I would want more… than to take you out. And I think that that’s what they want, whoever that is. But I’m not doing it. You know why? Because I make my own choice! I am not a victim! I want to get home. I want to see my kids. I want to… I just want to continue on with my life. I want to get out of here. What does that mean exactly? What do you think it means? It means we have to work together. We have to work together to get out of here. That’s the first thing you’ve said that we can agree on. [feedback blaring] Okay! You’ve made your point! You can stop now! [soft jazz music playing] What is happening? Whoever this is is really, really dramatic. They set the stage. We’re the cast and this is… This is the scene and they have the soundtrack. Hey, you freak! What do you want? What’s wrong with you? We haven’t put on enough of a show for you! You freak! Do you get off on this? Kidnapping two beautiful women! Beautiful women! You perv! Stop. Shh. Just stop for a second. Does this music sound familiar to you? I don’t know. What is it? A listening party, Sharon? It could be a message. I don’t care. I really don’t care anymore. No, I meant it. Stop. Stop. This music is getting to you. You’ve become more tense. What? I was so chill before. What? Did you black out the last hour? Think! Where have you heard this song before? I don’t care. I don’t know and I don’t care. They picked this music on purpose. It’s part of the game. PHYLLIS: No. I don’t care about their game. They can shove their game. Open the door! I swear when I get out of here, I will rip off your arms and I will take your head and bash it in! Open!

[music stopping]

[Sharon gasping] That was a mistake. You don’t know that. Maybe they want this. Maybe this is what they want. If this is a game, what are the teams? It’s us against them. They don’t know what we’re capable of. Then we’re gonna have to show them. What do you say, Phyllis? You want to play? Yeah. Why the hell not? Okay. We’re listening. What are the rules? Let’s get started. MODULATED VOICE: Now, we’re getting somewhere. Hello. Nice to meet you. What’s your name? MODULATED VOICE: Not important. Well, it is to us. What is your name? MODULATED VOICE: This is about the two of you. No one else. And yes, you have to work as a team in this game. What is the goal? How do we know when we’ve won? What’s the prize? MODULATED VOICE: Staying alive.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

NATE: So, it seems some progress was made. Amy and Damian were able to talk, clear the air slightly. That’s great. There’s still some wounds that need to be healed, but Amy said they hugged before he left, and he agreed to see her again. That is a huge step for them both. NATE: I saw Damian at the club afterwards. He seems to have softened towards Amy. It feels like he’s ready to try to heal things between them. Just amazing. What a relief. I was so worried for Amy. I think she’s still nervous to get her hopes up, but at least she got to explain her side of things to her son. Hopefully, that will be enough to keep Amy going. I know she was so down after her last meeting with him, the way she talked about leaving town. I didn’t like the idea any more than you do. She shouldn’t be alone, especially right now with her condition. There’s been some progress made on that front as well. I convinced Amy to let me have another doctor take a look at her medical records. Nate, that is wonderful. No guarantees, but we can thank positive thoughts. Yes, we can. Uh, you have done so much to support Amy. Damian, too, even if he’s not ready to see it. Without you, they might never have reestablished their relationship. Some of this is thanks to you. What do you mean? I think Holden may have pushed Damian to give Amy another chance. I’m pretty sure that’s because of you. You charmed Holden. It’s not what you missed. It’s what I missed. You were right, Adam. What was I right about? About us. About not trying to fight this. God knows I’ve tried, but I can’t pretend anymore. I… I can’t pretend I’m not falling for you all over again. CHELSEA: Hey. Hey. What are you doing? I don’t know. Are you playing a game against yourself or just lost in thought? Both. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Hey, how’s it going? Hey, it’s all good. I’m actually just getting some work done before I head into the office. Where’s your mom? I’m not sure. I haven’t heard from her today. What, are you meeting her? Yeah, I thought so. Set it up, you know, a couple days ago. I called this morning to confirm. Never heard back from her. Well, she’s probably on her way. Hey. I came as fast as I could. I just had meetings at work I couldn’t get out of.

That’s fine.

Any luck? [Daniel sighing] No word from, no sign of Mom. You? Oh, I’ve been trying to call her, and it just goes straight to voicemail. Daniel, what’s going on? I don’t know. Okay, well, I think that we’re past the point of any reasonable excuse. She didn’t show up for breakfast. She’s nowhere to be found. I mean, if she was just running late, she still would have shown up hours ago. It can’t just be that she lost her phone. I spoke with Chance again earlier. He’s got nothing. And I talked to the front desk and nobody’s seen her in a couple days. Okay, listen, I’ve checked in with the clinics. I’ve checked in with the emergency rooms, the urgent care. I even checked in with Lucy’s school just to make sure that they hadn’t heard from her. Nothing. We’re running out of people to ask. And places to look. I can’t ignore it anymore. It seems like something really serious has happened to Mom. You know, there is one house rule we have yet to discuss. Is it a requirement of me living here that I need to learn how to play chess? Well, if you want me to teach you, I will. I’ll think about it. I thought you’d be at work right now. Oh, I should be. But your son conned me.

He conned you?

CHELSEA: Yeah. I mean, nothing like the scams I used to pull at his age, thank God, but yesterday, he told me he just wanted to relax today on his day off from school. And then this morning, he’s like, “Hey, Mom, “remember how you wanted to go ice skating?” So, he made it seem like it was your idea.

That’s a good tactic.

Yeah.

Did it work?

CHELSEA: Oh, it sure did. Yeah, we’re heading there shortly. He’s at the Tack House with Johnny, but he should be back soon. Our son can make us do just about anything. He’s got a sweet face, but he’s lethal. Gets it from you. It’s hard to resist. You know, maybe you’re just a softie. Oh, excuse me. He got you yesterday.

No, he did not.

CHELSEA: Yes, he did. He certainly did. I can’t believe you let him convince you to change your movie pick. It was your night to choose. I was persuaded, okay? You were just unhappy with the change. We subjected you to a sports movie. I was pumped for a comedy. Well, you are as deceitful, okay? You claim that you don’t like Rudy, and then you sobbed through the whole thing. I did not sob. I heard sniffling. Allergies.

We were indoors.

[Chelsea laughing]

It’s winter.

Okay, you got me. I’m a sucker for an underdog story. Sue me. And you know, you’re one to talk. You were getting very emotional at the ending. Well, it was the same allergies that you have. Liar. It was a fun night, though, wasn’t it? It was. When I wasn’t crying, it was great. Ah, so you admit it. [Chelsea sighing] This is good. The three of us living here together. It’s good for everybody, but especially for Connor. I… I didn’t know what to expect, but he’s thriving. Yeah, right?

CHELSEA: Yeah. Yeah.

He loves it. Being with his cousins, spending so much time outside… [Chelsea sighing] …you were right. This change was good for him. Well, I think it’s more than that. He has immediate access to both of his parents now. The way that it used to be. I, uh… I can’t take credit for Damian’s change of heart. But you did speak to Holden about him, didn’t you? Made an appeal? I did ask Holden to try to convince Damian to give Amy another chance. There you go. But by that point, Damian was already leaning in that direction. Maybe what you said to Holden was the final push they needed. Maybe. I hope Damian wants to stick around because that would mean he feels a deeper connection to Amy than he’s admitted. I think that’s part of it, hopefully. What else would it be? You think it has to do with me? A brotherly connection? I actually think it could be something else. According to Holden, Damian met someone here. A woman? I guess this person, whoever she is, has compelled Damian to remain in town. Huh. I wonder if it’s Lily. Lily? Why would you think that? She showed up at the Athletic Club when Damian and I were there. I tried to introduce them, but apparently they already met. Hm. Interesting. Maybe I should thank my cousin, of all people, for Damian’s decision to give Amy another chance. Okay, let’s just calm down, try and take a second, and try and think like Mom. Right. Yeah, if we can get into her head, maybe we can figure out what’s happened. So, where would she go? What would she do? That’s the thing. I– I have no idea. Things are good. She has no reason to bolt. She’s been focusing on uniting us as a family and then this business venture with you and Billy. I know she wasn’t happy that Billy went to Paris with Sally. But would she really run off because of that? Probably not. I– Honestly, I don’t know. Look, I love Mom, but let’s face it, she doesn’t always make the best decisions. Unfortunate, but true. We’re talking about the same woman here who pretended to be dead and then attended her own funeral? Okay, can you just not remind me of that right now, please? And those were very different circumstances. Mom felt isolated then. She was angry at everyone. She’s been upset about the whole situation with Sharon. Yes, but she agreed to put that behind her. And I believe her, that she was at least going to try. I thought so too. She said she was excited to be working together, ready to chart this new path forward, but then this happens. No, but Daniel, she has been determined to be there for us. Especially for you and Lucy. I really don’t think that Mom would have disappeared on us. Not now. Right. So where does that leave us? Right back here with no answers. So, this is her Valentine’s Day outfit. Aria was so, so cute. She even had a matching headband. I mean, it’s on point and adorable. Mm-hmm. And then this is her second outfit because she decided to roll around in a bunch of leaves and a surprising amount of dirt. Kid knows how to play. Respect. Oh, and she had this adorable tiara that she would only share with Grandma Sharon. And here she is. She’s trying to put it on her.

See?

Oh, there we go. Quite the pair. Speaking of which, your mom is officially late. Uh, why don’t you try calling her again? See if she’s on her way. [Nick sighing] Voicemail. Hey, uh, it’s me. I’m at Crimson Lights. We’re supposed to meet here. If you want to meet somewhere else, just let me know. Call me. Bye. Um, so you haven’t heard from her at all today? No. Actually, I didn’t hear from her yesterday either. Me neither. Well, why don’t I call the office? I’ll see if she’s there. Yeah. Hey, hey, it’s Mariah. Is Sharon there? Uh, okay, yeah. I’ll definitely keep you posted. Thanks. It’s okay. What is it? They haven’t heard from Sharon either, and apparently she hasn’t been answering any texts or emails, which is not like her. Sorry to interrupt. Did you just say something’s going on with Sharon? Uh, yeah, we haven’t heard from her.

You haven’t seen her?

No. Something wrong? I don’t know what to make of this just yet, but… apparently, Phyllis is missing. So despite the sports movies you have to put up with, and the mysterious allergies they cause, how are you adjusting to living on the ranch? I like it here. I feel comfortable. At ease. So, it feels like home? It does. I think at first I thought that everything would remind me of your father. Maybe not the best feeling. And I was worried that I’d feel uncomfortable living on Newman property. But you don’t? Not anymore. No. It’s very peaceful here. And I see your family a lot less often than I thought I would. And when I do see them, they’re lovely and very pleasant. Well, as they should be. This house, I think I was concerned that it wouldn’t feel like mine. That I would feel like I’m living at Victor and Nikki’s house, but… you know, things changed, and we got settled, and now it really feels like it’s… ours. Our own little world. I think that’s how Connor sees it, anyway. Yeah, I think he does. Hey, are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be? You just seemed a little off the past couple days. Like something was on your mind or bothering you. God, I cannot get anything past you, can I? If I tell you something, will you promise not to hold it against me? Wait. So, Phyllis has been gone. For how long? A day or so. And nobody’s heard from her? You know, Summer called me. She was worried about her mom. I just assumed it was Phyllis being Phyllis and that she had shown up by now. Well, seems she hasn’t. I had no idea the police were involved. Doing this is more of a favor for your daughter. Summer and Daniel are obviously worried, given everything that’s been going on. Yeah, I mean, I get what it’s like to worry after a missing mom. I mean, I would like to think after everything Sharon’s been through, that she’s just taking a personal day, right? She wouldn’t do that without checking in. Yeah, that’s true. I’m gonna call ranch security, just have them go by her place, just to be safe. NATE: Did you get the sense that Damian wanted to stay in town just because of Lily? Not for Amy? I’m not sure. But Holden made it sound like this woman, whoever she is, has made quite an impression. Yeah, that sounds like Lily. But we don’t know for sure that it’s her. I sensed a bit of a vibe between them. If it is her, I wonder if she’s also made appeals on Amy’s behalf. That wouldn’t surprise me. Lily understands the importance of family. I guess if they have some sort of connection that keeps Damian in town, that is all that matters. The more time Damian spends with Amy, the more he’ll remember how close they used to be. Whatever it takes. If him sticking around is thanks in part to Lily, I’m grateful for her. I can certainly see how someone would be taken with her. Mm-hmm. Like the way Holden was clearly taken with you. Is he? Come on, it’s pretty obvious. The guy can’t take his eyes off of you. Nate. Yeah? Uh… There’s something you should know… about Holden and me. What about you and Holden? It sounds worse than it is. Okay. Seems serious. I promise you, it isn’t. What is it, Audra? When Holden first arrived, posing as Damian, I recognized him. It wasn’t the first time we met. You’d met him here in town? I know him from when I was in Los Angeles with Tucker. But that was years ago. So, when I saw him, I was just so surprised. I… I didn’t say anything. Okay, thanks. Sharon is not at her place. There’s nobody there. Yeah, I texted Tessa and she hasn’t heard from her either. Something feels off, right? Yeah, it does. I mean, Sharon just went missing weeks ago. She could have died in that sewer. I am really trying not to panic, but I– NICK: Let’s not do that, okay? We gotta figure this out. There’s gotta be some explanation. When’s the last time either of you had contact with Sharon? Uh, I saw her the morning of Valentine’s Day before I went to work. I saw her that night. She seemed fine. Well, it couldn’t be nothing, but Phyllis has been missing for about the same amount of time. You think it’s connected? I can’t be sure, but– You know, we should talk to Daniel and Summer. Maybe they’ve heard something. What’s next? Where do we go from here? [phone ringing] It’s Chance. Hey, I’m– I’m here with Summer. Um, what– what’s going on? Hey, can the two of you come to Crimson Lights? Have you heard something about our mother? Let’s talk in person, okay? Yeah, okay, um, we– we’ll come there. Um, he wants to talk to us. It sounds like he has news, but he didn’t want to discuss it over the phone. Okay, yeah, let– let’s go. All right, they’re on their way. Great. Well, hopefully they’ll have some ideas about Sharon and Phyllis. I mean, do you think they actually could have disappeared together? Let’s just take this one step at a time. I mean, should we ask Faith if she’s heard from Mom? I would prefer not to do that. She is out of town with some friends, having fun. I don’t want to worry her until we have to. Right. And there might not be anything to worry about.

Yeah.

CHANCE: Yeah, I don’t want to send up any unnecessary alarms about a connection between the two disappearances. But it will help to compare notes. NICK: Agreed. So, we talk to Daniel and Summer. Just try and get to the bottom of this. Is it about Connor? No. It’s about us. Well, I thought we’ve been getting along pretty well. I just… I feel I need to be honest with you about how I’m feeling. Okay. When the three of us moved in here together, I thought it would be fine. You know, it’s a big house. You’d have your space. I’d have mine. Do you regret asking me to move in here? No, no. Not at all. Look, I know what I want to say. I’m just I’m afraid you’re not going to want to hear it. Adam, just tell me. What’s difficult for me is… how much I love having you here. You and Connor, all the time. I mean, it’s– it’s so damn clear to me now. Well, why would I not want to hear that? Why would that upset me? Because… having you here, it’s making it harder to fight the fact… that I’m falling back in love with you. I, um, I wasn’t expecting you to say that. Well, I just felt like I needed to tell you. And I swear I’m not trying to pressure you. Then why bring it up? Because… Because I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a dream the other night and it just, it kind of shook me. What happened? You came to me in the dream and you said, you thought that we should try again. To be together. Oh. And I know that’s not what you really want. It was just my subconscious my wishful thinking. Right. Yeah, I know that it was just a dream, but… you know, it stuck. Is me being here creating this wave of emotions for you? It’s making things harder on you? I mean I don’t think it helps. Because I’m so alluring. Pretty much. No, listen, I, um– I– I don’t want to move out or anything, I wouldn’t want to do that to Connor but it seems like this is tough on you. So maybe we create some ground rules, some new boundaries. Okay, you know, Chelsea, I don’t want you to wall yourself off of me. I mean honestly I don’t want anything to change. I want more movie nights and board games and you stealing my snacks. That was one time. Look, I told you how I felt because you sensed something. I want complete honesty between us. Okay, um, well while we’re confessing things um, my feelings, um… Being here with you has brought up memories.

What kind?

Some bad. Some good. But mostly it’s just reminded me of when we were together. And in love. I don’t understand. So you knew Holden wasn’t really Damian and didn’t tell me? I wasn’t sure what to think. When I met him in L.A. he went by Holden, but then when he showed up here as Damian I thought maybe that had been a lie, that he really was Damian. And he used a fake name when you met him? If he went by Holden in L.A., it would make sense why it was so difficult for Amy to track him down on her own. My head was swimming. I couldn’t believe I might have met your half-brother years ago. How well did you know Holden back in L.A.? We went on a few dates. It wasn’t serious. Mm. Is that all? I got into a bit of a situation thanks to Tucker and Holden helped me get out of it. What kind of situation? Tucker sent me to do a deal with some music producers and I went alone. It should have been an easy meeting, but they turned out to be less than gentlemanly. Things got a little out of hand and when things escalated, Holden happened to be there and he intervened. So, he rescued you? It wasn’t a big deal. But he protected you? He backed me up. I can hold my own, you know that. But I appreciated what he did. I’m still confused. If the incident was so harmless– It was. Then, why not tell me the truth right away as soon as you saw him? Huh? Was there something else to hide? Dad!

NICK: Hey!

Hey! Chance just told me your mom’s still missing. I’m so sorry that I didn’t check in more. No, it’s okay, but what’s going on? Have you guys heard something? Unfortunately, we haven’t. But it does turn out that Nick and Mariah have not heard from Sharon either for about the same amount of time as Phyllis. Wait a second. So, Sharon and our mother are both missing. Do you think there’s something more to this? It seems like a weird coincidence. Yeah, why would they go anywhere together? The two of them hate each other. Unless one of them didn’t go willingly. What are you implying? Your mom hates my mom with a vengeance that could topple buildings. Phyllis has repeatedly said that she wasn’t going to let Sharon get away with all of the bad things that she did to your family. SUMMER: Wait, are you seriously saying that our mom could have done something to Sharon?

Let’s not go there.

No, no. I mean, let’s not forget that Sharon’s the one who threw Heather’s body in a river. Which is reason enough for Phyllis to want payback. She’s made that very clear. How can you seriously stand there and accuse my mom? Summer, Summer, Mariah, this isn’t helping. Okay, let’s just relax. Chance, is it possible at all that either one of them may have kidnapped the other? There is no evidence of that right now. Okay, I just think it’s odd that they seem to be missing at the same time, that’s all. So what are we supposed to do? CHANCE: Well, I think we need to think this through. Civilly, I might add. Let’s compare what we know and let’s see if there’s a line of investigation I can follow. Sure, of course. Whenever it takes to bring our mom home. Both of our moms home. I know this looks bad, but our mother shouldn’t be on trial here. Despite everything Sharon has done to our family, she was determined to put in the past. Because Phyllis was so great at letting things go? She wasn’t after revenge. Okay, Mom recognized that her anger had become unhealthy. And look, we both accepted jobs working with Billy recently. She was excited about that. Has Billy heard from her at all? He’s still in Paris with Sally. He said they spoke like a day or two ago about business and everything sounded fine. Mom did not do anything to Sharon. I mean, you believe that, right, Dad? Of course I do. Nobody is suggesting that. Feels like someone is. NICK: We all want the same thing here. And that is to find out what happened to Sharon and Phyllis. Can we agree on that? We can, yes. I don’t know. Maybe there’s more to the situation. I mean, we all know how adept Sharon is at framing innocent people, right? Maybe she’s setting Mom up. We also know how hard it is for Phyllis to let go of a grudge. The first thing that we need to figure out is when did Phyllis and Sharon last see each other? Now, can we keep the peace long enough to do that? AUDRA: I don’t have anything else to hide. Which is why I’m telling you this now. But you didn’t feel like you could tell me earlier. Yeah. I should have spoken up sooner. I– I honestly don’t know why I didn’t. When I think of Holden, it reminds me of my time with Tucker and I guess I just didn’t want to go there. I can see that. I was just so stunned to see him and then realize he might be connected to you and to Amy. I– I just didn’t know what to do. And then to find out that he pretended to be your brother, it was just all too much. You were overwhelmed. I thought that if Holden would just go back to L.A., I wouldn’t have to deal with him again. But here we are. So, I felt like I needed to tell you. Does that make sense? I guess so. There are times in my life that I just rather not relive. And I am sorry I wasn’t up front with you from the beginning. I regret how I handled this. Can you forgive me? We did have a few good times together, didn’t we? More than a few. Well, anything specific that you thought about?

Lots of things.

Yeah. You helping me study for my GED. Watching The Outsiders together. Those were– those were good memories. Oh, that Christmas we spent with Connor and his cat, Oliver, nursing him back to health. Also good. I mean, mostly just little moments, too. Waking up together, you holding me. What about you? What do you think about? Proposing to you. In the rain. Marrying you at my mom’s farm. I mean, we were… We were so happy. We were. When you think about the good times, I mean… how does it make you feel? I want that happiness again. And then what, the bad memories come crashing in? They blur the vision? Sometimes, but then they go away. And then I feel safe. Not afraid. Chelsea, I don’t want to push. And I know that you said you didn’t want to, but… have you changed your mind about us? I mean about there being an us again? Would it really be that bad for us to try again? You have been so honest with me. I’m gonna try to do the same. Take your time. I have thought about it recently. Okay. My knee-jerk reaction is no. It would be bad. But then there’s a voice inside my head that says… maybe not. All right. I’ll take it. I can work with that. Adam, we would have to be so careful and take things so slow. I have a suggestion. Okay. Why don’t we start with something simple? Non-threatening. Something like dinner. Dinner? Just the two of us. Dinner. I’d like that. So would I. Please say something. Tell me how I can fix this. What’s– what’s this for? I am sorry for what happened to you in L.A. And that seeing Holden brought all that back to you. I’m okay. Really. But it’s okay if you’re upset with me about not being up front with you about Holden. I just wish you told me the truth from the beginning just only because I want you to feel you can trust me. So, you’re not mad? The past is the past. Your connection to Holden doesn’t bother me. Unless there’s something you haven’t said. I swear to you, there’s not. Now last time that I saw Sharon and Phyllis together was when Sharon mistakenly confessed to Heather’s murder. Was that before or after Sharon broke into our mom’s hotel suite? Do you have anything to contribute to this conversation? The last time I saw Sharon and my mom it was actually here. Mom had just gotten out of the hospital from her car accident and Sharon still believed that she killed Heather. I mean everyone did. Well, the last time I saw Phyllis, she came over to Sharon’s house on Christmas Eve to accuse her about lying, about not committing those crimes and Phyllis said that she was never going to let my mom get away with murder, so. Sharon I saw you with Phyllis at Society. That’s the last time I saw them together too. And it’s the last time I saw my mom before she disappeared. So did anyone see them interact right before they disappeared? No one seen them cross paths the past couple days? No. Great and we’re still no closer to getting an answer on what’s really going on here. I mean how is it possible for Sharon and Phyllis to just vanish? What the hell could have happened?
