Stepson Tyler Nixon surprises Isabelle Deltore's massage

Tyler Nixon strolls into Isabelle Deltore's massage parlor and cheerfully calls out, 'Hey Mom!' Isabelle rushes in looking horrified. 'What are you doing here, young man?' she asks. He explains he booked a massage the other day to support her business and showed up for his appointment. Isabelle insists that's impossible, but when she checks the calendar she spots a fake name. Tyler grins, proud of his little trick, saying he used it to keep the visit a surprise. She tells him he'll have to come back another time, because she's the only one working and, well, he's her son. He cuts in to correct her: step-son. Before she can stop him, he grabs the first thing he sees, a bottle of oil, and reads the label out loud: 'sensual massage oil.' Why does a normal salon stock that? Isabelle nervously laughs that the company botched the order and wouldn't take it back. 'If this is a regular parlor, why are you dressed like a stripper?' he teases. Just the uniform, she claims. But isn't she the boss who picks the outfits? She lies that the staff voted on it to boost morale. Tyler shakes his head, 'Mom, you won't even let us pick our breakfast cereal, you're the bossiest person I know!' He says surprising her was really about spending more time together, something Dad would love. Isabelle's eyes narrow. Is this blackmail? Of course not, he just wants to connect. Finally she agrees to the massage on one condition: he never breathes a word to his father. Tyler promises to keep his lips sealed, and this rubdown quickly gets very hands-on. Turns out the only thing getting worked out here is the tension between them, and Isabelle proves she really does like to take charge.
