Lily says she had the same thing happen when her dad died, and says she’d wake up and think he was still alive. She says that she saw someone who she thought was him.

Ashley scoffs at that.

Ashley tells him that he’s reckless and is willing to tie the Abbot clan to a woman who will drag everyone down with her.

Daniel says that when he looks at her, the loneliness in his dream feels far away.

Daniel says that’s what he’s trying to do.
Jabot Cosmetics
Kyle says that Summer doesn’t want to be around him, so pushing her won’t work.
Billy says he needs to push, or they’ll just get further from one another.
He says he has to talk to Summer and let her know how much he loves her. He says Kyle has to not talk about Diane or Phyllis, and to let her know that he’s there for her.
