Mariah is on today.

Theo comes over and overhears her ordering a lot of food. He misinterprets and tries to invite himself to her "party." She says its a private family thing. Its the Team Sharon post surgery feast. I'm going to miss Sharon & her family during the hiatus.

#YR

Mariah humbles herself and apologizes to Theo for being so short with him.

Theo is understanding. I like this new friend-esque energy.

#YR

A little banter. Mariah makes it clear she and Tessa are fine. Theo says he's rooting for them, even though they don't want him to brand them.

lol.

Mariah explains that she has trouble in situations she can't control, especially if it has to do with other people.

#YR

Theo makes the connection that Lola was worried about Rey, and Rey is Sharon's boyfriend...

Theo: is Sharon okay?
Mariah: She will be.

#YR

Theo: That time I razzed you about getting Tanner to hire you in NY, you said you didn't want to go on account of your mother. I assumed it was an excuse to not put yourself out there.

Mariah: its easier to let you think that.

#YR

Theo: Whatever's going on, it sounds like you made the right call, sticking close to home.

Mariah: sure my mom has moments she wishes I was phoning it in from out east. I have this wonderful knack of saying the worst thing at the worst time.

#YR

Theo talks about his mom.

T: She wasn't mad at me, just that her world was turned upside down. Her kid was taking care of her, instead of the other way around. In the end, she told me how much it meant to her that I came home. I wouldn't trade that time for anything.

#YR

Mariah opens up about how she met Sharon as an adult, much like Theo met the Abbott's later in life.

Theo: never would have guessed that, you seem so close.
Mariah: It took a long time to get that way, mostly because I was an awful human being.

#YR

Mariah: But she didn't give up on me, and eventually I absorbed some of her decency through osmosis.

Theo: Sounds like you hit the long lost mother jack pot.

Aww. @WTylerJohnson & @camryngrimes.

M: I didn't get a childhood with her, and I thought that I would get decades to make up for it. What if I don't?

T: You're probably the one person in her life that can make her laugh, even when she feels like hell.
M: I try.
T: Keep it up, Mariah. You're doing great.

Mariah brought Theo some food. Aww.

Theo: What's this?
Mariah: This is a thank you for being so nice about my mom, especially when you have your own problems.

Theo: I appreciate it.

#YR

M: So, do you want to talk about what happened at Jabot?
T: I won't bore you with my sad tale of self sabotage.

M: How bout this...what if I declared this space right here a judgment free zone—just for tonight. Would you want to talk about it then?
T: pull up a chair.

#YR

Mariah: for you to go through all that trouble to plagiarize a pitch, I mean why? Not that I think you're above doing something sneaky and underhanded.

T: What happened to my judgement free zone?
M: I'm sorry I just don't understand why you'd feel the need to cheat.

#YR

Mariah: I know you know how to handle a marketing campaign....that's your lane. So why didn't you just come up with a pitch of your own?

Theo: I choked. Usually I'm overflowing with ideas, but this time? Brain freeze.

#YR

Mariah: Maybe you were scared to compete with Kyle.

Theo denies this idea at first; Mariah suggests the situation must have been unnerving.

Theo: I felt like Kyle already had a built in leg up because he's Jack's kid.

#YR

Theo: thank you for keeping an open mind.
Mariah: That was our deal, here in this space.

M: my perspective is coloured by the fact that I used to be a truly awful person. Morally, ethically, just terrible.

#YR

T: Really? never would have guessed that.
M: Sure you would.
T: Yeah, I would.

M: Well its safe to say that we are morally ambiguous people who take a little bit longer to get our act together.

#YR

Mariah: That being said, if you hurt Lola, ever....

Theo: Dead man walking — got it.

Haha! perfectly played @WTylerJohnson

#YR

Mariah: Good luck on the job hunt.

Theo: Thank you, I appreciate the shoulder.

Mariah: Well, we all need one sometimes.

#YR

Theo overhears Billy, Lily and Amanda's meeting about Chancellor. His interest is piqued when he overhears them talking about their social media division, including social media influencers.

#YR

The wheels are turning in Theo's mind as he listens to Billy and Amanda talk about the younger demographic, social media, etc.

Would love to see Theo thriving over at Chancellor.
