Phyllis and Daniel meet in the coffeehouse. Phyllis is surprised Daniel is going with Tessa to Boston; maybe he should sit this one out!

Daniel says he’ll be there for emotional support. Is she trying to talk him out of being supportive to Tessa?

Phyllis thinks he’s being awfully defensive… Does he have feelings for her?

Daniel says that’s not true; he’s not falling for Tessa, she’s just a friend!

Phyllis doesn’t believe him. He literally glows when he’s around her, and she talked to his dad, who told her that it’s true… He does have feelings for her.

Daniel can’t believe his dad ratted him out.

Phyllis says she didn’t talk to his dad, but he just admitted it! How could he confide in his father over her? She’s worried about him, and he should listen!

Daniel doesn’t want her to worry about him.

Phyllis says he needed someone to talk to after Heather died, and he found Tessa. He could get hurt down the road!

Daniel says that it doesn’t matter if he has feelings for Tessa… She loves Mariah, and Tessa is willing to do whatever it takes to fix things between them.

Phyllis thinks it’s sad that he’s going to go with her and cheer her on from the sidelines.

Daniel asks his mom not to meddle in his business… Doesn’t she have enough on her plate with Cane?

Phyllis sighs. Unrequited love is a special type of hell, especially if he’s in love with someone who’s in love with someone else!

Daniel says he just wants Tessa to be happy.

Phyllis thinks he wants Tessa to be happy with him. She tells him to let Tessa handle it on their own. Tessa will get back together with Mariah, and Daniel will find someone else.

Daniel says he hears her and loves her, but he can take care of himself!
