In Abby’s suite, Chance presents her with a Grand Phoenix plaque he had made for her. They kiss. Downstairs in the lobby, Chelsea warns Phyllis about threatening Adam and maintains no one is going to jail. Phyllis whispers, “Tell that to the woman in Vegas whose husband is missing.” Chelsea barks, “Get to the point.” Phyllis tells Chelsea what she knows and explains she wants her 25% of the Grand Phoenix. Upstairs, Adam’s been trying to call Chelsea. She answers and he tells her he got a suite. She heads up. Meanwhile, Abby joins Phyllis, and refuses to discuss the hotel’s interior design with her. Phyllis smirks, “Okay. You are the boss.” In Adam’s suite, Chelsea reminds him he said he’d tell her what happened in Vegas when she needed to know – that time is now. She learns what Phyllis said is true. Chelsea wants to be angry, but he didn’t do that to her when Simon Black came to town. Adam says he can deal with Phyllis, but Chelsea can handle her. Downstairs, Chance interrupts Abby and Phyllis’ bickering as Abby gets a text from Chelsea and excuses herself. In Adam’s suite, Chelsea informs Abby she’s selling her shares…to Phyllis. Abby’s floored. She guesses Phyllis is blackmailing her and wonders if it concerns Adam. Chelsea won’t talk but urges Abby to take Phyllis down if she gets the chance. After Abby leaves, Chelsea tells Adam she will choose him every time. In the lobby, Abby downs Phyllis’ drink. Chance is stunned to hear Chelsea’s selling Phyllis her shares. Abby seethes, “What do you have on her Phyllis?” Abby stalks off and Chance asks Phyllis what she did. Phyllis replies it’s not what she did – it’s what he and ‘Spider’ did. Chance marvels that she’s ruthless and asks what else she wants. Phyllis doesn’t want half the hotel; she wants the whole damn thing.
