Traci Opens Up and Says Goodbye
Traci joined Sharon and Phyllis at Society and immediately took the conversation in a serious direction. While Phyllis was worried that Martin might escape justice, Traci assured her that Chance had confirmed the case was solid. Still, her real focus was on apologizing for bringing Martin into their lives. Traci expressed deep regret for trusting him and blamed herself for the chaos he caused.
Phyllis, always direct, pressed Traci with questions about when she discovered Martin’s identity. However, Sharon quickly stepped in and diffused the tension. She reminded Phyllis that they couldn’t place the blame entirely on Traci. That helped soften Phyllis’ stance, and soon, the trio shared a symbolic moment of healing by clasping hands and wishing for peace moving forward.
After Traci’s exit, Sharon and Phyllis attempted to move forward. Sharon joked about the London trip, but the moment still felt tense. They shared an awkward hug before Sharon left, and Phyllis was quick to call Daniel afterward, reassuring him that she was fine. Even though she tried to sound strong, her face revealed lingering distress.
To push herself back into her professional life, Phyllis also texted Billy, letting him know she was ready to return to Abbott Communications. Still, it was clear she hadn’t fully recovered from everything that happened with Martin.
