He tells him that she sounds like a different person. Phillip tells him that it will get easier but Rick isn't any good at being the miserable guy. He says that he and Abby should be having a baby but that will never happen. Phillip says he couldn't have done what Rick did in letting her go. He thinks Rick is brave. Rick thinks it's funny that he always does everything right and Phillip always does everything wrong but he always ends up with the girl. Phillip asks him if he agrees with everyone else in town that Harley shouldn't have taken him back. Rick didn't mean it that way and Phillip tells him he doesn't really feel like he cheated on Harley. He knows he committed adultery but what happened in the plane was a moment of craziness. He says it had nothing to do with him and Harley. Phillip thinks the worst thing he did was deliberately not tell her for months.
