Lucas meets Philip at Brady’s Pub. He wants to know what’s going on with the whole Brady and Chloe thing. Kate walks up wondering the same thing.

Philip admits he didn’t. He’s giving up on all his jealousy and paranoia. He breezily says it’s possible nothing happened between them. Lucas and Kate look dubious. Philip is determined to be the man Chloe wants him to be. After more negative comments from Kate, Philip leaves.

After Brady snaps out of his fantasy at Basic Black, he tells Chloe he was picturing them having sex on the conference table. He knows it sounds bad, but explains how Marlena suggested he do just that. He apologizes for even bringing it up. Chloe blows it off and mutters that the table has seen a lot of action. Brady demands to know what she means by that. She says one of their employees admitted to having sex on it last night. Brady deduces it was Nicole and assumes she slept with EJ. Chloe corrects him, but makes him promise not to tell anyone.
When the conversation turns to Philip, Brady is shocked to learn his uncle didn’t tell her he saw them at the Salem Inn together. Chloe hopes it means Philip finally trusts her and believes she and Brady are just friends. Philip approaches the door and overhears Chloe make Brady promise not to tell anyone about the sex on the conference room table.
