Steam Heat

At the Aurora Wellness Center, Drew watched as Chase told Willow the latest on his marital situation. Chase said he was going to take every precaution necessary to protect his rights to Phoebe just in case he decided to proceed with a divorce. However, he made sure to stress that he still loved Brook Lynn, despite everything.

Willow agreed with Chase's new lawyer that he should move back into the main house. She felt that moving back to the gatehouse had been wonderful for Wiley and Amelia. Chase just worried that he and Brook Lynn wouldn't be able to work things out with Tracy always interfering.

After Chase left, Willow took some time in the steam room, where she surprised herself when she had a steamy fantasy about Chase. Willow was also in a fitness center steam room when she had her first unexpected fantasy about Michael. Willow is clearly a creature of habit. When her fantasy ended, Willow felt flushed and embarrassed, despite nobody else being around.

After Drew spied Chase and Willow together, he found Michael in his Aurora office and told him what he had seen. Michael didn't seem very surprised, as he had been living with this for a while. Michael tried to tell Drew that he just didn't care and Willow could live her own life. He had moved on.

Surprisingly, Drew admitted that he had made a big mistake by getting involved with Willow (ya think?). He was sorry he had hurt Michael and wanted to let bygones be bygones. Drew was even ready to take Aurora to new heights, but Michael wasn't interested. He was allowing him to consult at Aurora, but that was it. He still didn't trust Drew and who could blame him?

Tracy's Big Encounter

In the Q solarium, Monet introduced herself to Tracy as Chase's attorney. She told Tracy that Chase would be moving back into the house whether she liked it or not. Tracy declared that wouldn't be happening. So, Monet informed Tracy that she would push for Chase to file for legal separation so he could have a legal custody agreement in place for Phoebe.

That made Tracy sit up and listen. The two women argued back and forth, but Monet gave Tracy some good advice. She needed to do what was in Brook Lynn's best interest. After Monet left, Michael returned home. Tracy informed her nephew that she agreed to let Chase move back in, but only under certain conditions. Chase appeared next. She told him he could have a guest room and free access to Phoebe, but he could not give Brook Lynn a hard time about anything.

When Chase went to unpack his bag, Tracy told Michael her ultimate plan. She was going to get Chase to commit adultery so Brook Lynn could get full custody of Phoebe. Michael didn't think that would be too hard, since that was his goal too. "How can I help?" Michael asked.

Pentonville Players

While Alexis met with a client at Pentonville, Sidwell entered the visitor's area and announced that Alexis was the woman he'd been waiting for. He wanted to hire her as his lawyer. Alexis was hesitant, but she sat down with him and listened. Sidwell explained that his lawyers had pressured him into taking the plea agreement and he wanted an actual trial. (Molly wanted an actual trial, too).

Alexis told him, no, she would not be his attorney. Sidwell tried to elicit Alexis' pity by telling her that Sonny had people on the inside who were trying to kill him. Sidwell seemed genuinely scared that Sonny was going to hurt him, so he asked Alexis to at least get Sonny to back off.

Sonny Problems

In Sonny's living room, Ava continued to chew out Sonny for taking Avery out of school for a few days. Sonny didn't see the big deal since Avery was a good student. He just wanted to take her to the ballet in Manhattan. Ava told him the big deal was that he didn't consult her and she was Avery's mother.

Sonny reminded Ava that he was in control of Avery's schooling decisions, as per their custody agreement, so he wasn't required to consult her first. As they argued back and forth, Ava threatened to take Sonny to court to amend their agreement. Sonny one-upped her and threatened to turn Avery against Ava, which was low and something Ava wouldn't stand for.

Ava felt she had no choice and agreed to let Sonny take Avery to the ballet, but all Sonny did was further her resolve to destroy him. After she left Sonny's house, she headed to the Metro Court Gardens to meet with Drew and further their plan.

Danger Alert

Jordan and Justine sat down at the Metro Court Gardens while Jordan waited to meet someone else. Justine was in for a big surprise when Jordan told her that she had spotted Justine and Sonny kissing outside the Brown Dog. Justine confided in her friend and admitted that she had real feelings for Sonny, but she knew she couldn't go public with their relationship.

Jordan warned Justine that she was right. Sonny may have left the mob, but her political career would be ruined if word got out that she was dating a mobster. (It's not like the town's House representative shot a man twice and induced a fake stroke, but nobody knows that yet.) Justine told Jordan that this lunch was a wake-up call for her and thanked Jordan for being discreet and letting her know.

A freaked out Justine sent a quick text to Sonny and asked to meet at the apartment above Charlie's. When he got there, Justine announced this might be the last time they would ever meet because their secret was now out.

Back at the Metro Court Gardens, a frustrated Jordan waited for her appointment. She finally got up to leave. Jordan was surprised when Monet greeted her and said she was expecting to see her big sister. When she saw Jordan's scars, she remarked, "Is that a new look?"

What are your first thoughts on Monet? Should Drew tell Michael everything about Willow so they can work together? Sound off in the comments.
