He wants to know why she is so interested in her mother’s boyfriend.

Ashley meets with Billy, saying she will support Billy’s new venture JaBoutique. Billy is sure the business trip is her way of getting him out of town but she promises him if she were to go behind his back; she’d be much more subtle.

Mariah and Devon continue to talk about Hilary’s style and overload of clothing. They joke about how Hilary used to tease Mariah; but she is grateful about how much Hilary taught her. She feels Hilary would advise her to “stop blubbering and get on with it!” They both smile. Mariah receives a text, but its from Sharon (Sharon Case). Devon asks her to share what’s going on so it can give him a distraction.
Mariah reveals everything going on with Tessa, and how worried she is. Devon dials up her fear, saying she may not be blowing this out of proportion. He reminds her that people think they have a lot of time, but sometimes that isn’t the case. He feels she should do whatever it takes to find Tessa, but Devon wants to hold off donating the stuff.
