Abby and Devon’s cozy moment gets interrupted

Abby and Devon went to the jazz lounge expecting a quiet evening but found it filled with women celebrating Christine’s bachelorette party.

After they shared a kiss, Diane, Traci, and Lauren told them it was a ladies-only event.

Embarrassed, Devon left Abby with the group as Christine arrived wearing a bridal crown, glowing with happiness.

Nate and Victoria crash the wrong party

Upstairs at the Athletic Club, Nate and Victoria arrived without knowing Danny’s bachelor party was happening. Nate tried to help Victoria relax as she worried about Noah.

Jack and Michael were surprised to see them, and Danny soon joined, excited for his wedding. When Victoria realized their mistake, Danny kindly invited them to stay. Devon later joined, saying he’d “lost” Abby to the ladies downstairs.

Phyllis stirs trouble despite warnings

Victoria went to join the women’s party, but the mood changed when Michael saw Phyllis hiding nearby. He warned her not to ruin Danny’s night, but she ignored him, claiming she only came to wish the couple well.

Her bitter comments about Christine showed her anger. Michael told her to leave, but she refused and walked off.

The bachelor party turns sentimental

At the party, Michael read a sweet note from Daniel, saying he was happy his dad found love again. Danny got emotional, remembering how Jack once set him up with a model. Everyone toasted to true love as Danny mentioned keeping wedding plans private.

After some talk about Victoria and Devon’s advice, the men ended with another toast to the happy couple.

Phyllis crashes the ladies’ celebration

Downstairs, Christine thanked Lauren for organizing the party as everyone laughed and celebrated. The mood changed when Phyllis burst in and grabbed for the champagne.

Lauren stopped her and told her to behave. Phyllis called Christine cruel and unworthy of happiness.

When Christine confronted her, their old feud reignited, with Phyllis blaming her and Christine saying her anger was her own fault.

Emotions boil over

As Christine toasted to her luck in love, Phyllis lost control. When Christine said she was too unstable to be happy, Phyllis tried to attack her. Lauren and Diane held her back as she yelled that Christine had no soul.

Shaking, Christine apologized, but Phyllis shouted she was done with the “loser party” and stormed upstairs to Danny.

Danny’s heartfelt talk with Phyllis

Danny found Phyllis at the bar, ready for another argument, but she broke down crying instead. She said Christine had called her crazy and admitted she was trying to change.

Danny comforted her, saying her emotions were strong but often misused.

She told him she’d always love him but wanted him happy, even with Christine. He asked her to return, but she refused, saying she needed space.

The night ends with music and peace

Danny went back to the lounge with his guitar to lift everyone’s spirits. When the lights suddenly went out, people joked that Phyllis was behind it. To ease the tension, Danny started singing, and everyone joined in.

Christine leaned on him as Phyllis watched sadly from afar before leaving.

When the lights returned, Danny told Christine he couldn’t wait to marry her and begin their new life together.
