Daniel’s strumming his guitar in the park when Phyllis appears. She carries on about how good he is as her son cringes. Talk soon turns to how good things are going for her. Daniel wants details. Phyllis can’t say anything yet, but soon he’ll want to write a song about the world opening up for her, “And you.”
Daniel raises an eyebrow as his mother insists she’s not pressuring him to write his next chapter. He chides Phyllis about this vague plan Cane has to take over the world. She’s irked that he’s so negative about her business ventures… can’t he just believe in her?! Daniel accuses her of not dealing with her kidnapping trauma. Phyllis wails, “Please stop talking about that.” She’s getting her life back working with Cane. She reminds him Summer’s in Milan and it’s the two of them against the world.
