Planning

Tom laid out what needed to be done "Tilly is an easy problem to solve, you just need to undo what you have done to her. Gaining her trust back will take longer and honestly I don't trust you enough yet to let you get close enough to fix her or me for that matter. Both of those are easily avoided problems so we can deal with them later. We ned to get you away from Jim. His effect on you makes you unpredictable around him but I don't see how we can avoid you going back. See this as a test of your will to change. I suggest you move out subtly. I am nearly always here so you can bring stuff over during the day when he is out and at some point you will have to tell him it's over. Seems simple but I have a feeling you are going to struggle with this. Lastly Phil and Jo. Honestly I'm not sure what we do here. Phil is convinced Jo is cheating on him and it may be too late to save their marriage. I'm sure a private investigator could come up with enough dirt to leave Jo in a pretty shitty situation in a divorce court and as far as I'm aware Jo doesn't have any savings of her own meaning if we don't do something you have just condemned your oldest friend to be homeless, jobless and penniless."

"Alright I get it you don't have to be so mean about it." sighed Sarah.

"I disagree, you need to be aware of what your actions could lead to." He sighed too "I'm sorry, I'm still cross at at you. I'll try to do better." There was a quiet moment of understanding between the two of them. "I still don't know how we fix it. We cant just undo what you did because Phil will still likely leave her."

"I could make them stay together" offered Sarah.

"I know but I'm desperately trying to avoid using your powers."

"I understand why but I don't think we can avoid it" said Tilly surprising them both as she'd been so quiet up until now. "She's going to have to use her powers to undo what she's done any way so it doesn't make much difference but maybe we should be subtle."

"Go on" said Tom "What do you think?"

Tilly thought a moment "We want to save the marriage right? Make it so they love each other again? It was only because of interference they stopped loving each other so I don't think it's too morally grey to to put it right but if you just make them love each other again I think you will get the same result you got with me. It has to feel natural."

"I don't think Jo doesn't love Phil, I just made it so she wanted to have sex with Jim. She was frustrated because they couldn't have sex and I'd made her hornier but she still loves him."

Tom winced at his wife so casually talking about how she manipulated her friend but decided it was not worth having a go at her right now "Honestly I think Phil still loves Jo. He wouldn't be so choked up about it if he didn't."

There was a moment of quiet as they all thought then Tilly said "So make him okay with it. If he was okay with her cheating on him it wouldn't be an issue. He could even like it."

"What are you saying? Make him like me?" said Tom

"Exactly" said till matter of factly. "You like having your wife cheat on you so make it so he likes his wife cheating on him. It could even explain why his erections come back." There was a pregnant pause "It was only a suggestion" she shrugged.

Tom was staring at her "I don't know Tilly, its a pretty crazy idea but it might just be our best shot."
