Sharon tells Dylan about her conversation with Nick – she told him she felt a bit shaky. It’s best she get ‘in front of it’. Dylan agrees – you should go. I’ll miss you. I’ll miss you too (but he wants what’s best for Sharon and the baby) ~hug~
Nick arrives to join the debate. Vikki hopes he’s the voice of reason – tell Abby that her bubble’s gonna burst. All are shocked when Nick tells Abby to stick to her guns – Gabe’s done nothing but stab us in the back.
Adam suggests that Paragon is a hostile takeover – a tax situation where NE’s delinquent. The hacker might have just been snooping around. Jabot might not even be a target. Victor has a lot of enemies. There were no attacks while the companies were merged, Jack tends to agree – NE was hacked after.
Phyllis finds Ian in his camper – surprised to see he has a laptop (I thought you were ‘unplugged’) You caught me – Fred must confess why he’s really out here.
Unaware that a photo of her and Jack is on Ian’s laptop, Phyllis melts as ‘Fred’ explains the he’s writing a book about his wife. It’s therapeutic. Phyllis is worried about Fred (his wife would want him to move on to a new beginning) He’s finding a new path but not forgetting lessons from the past.
A panicked Marisa joins Jack on the rooftop – my husband Luca is here. Marco called him. What?! Jack tells her to keep her cool until he finds out more. Yes, it’s a problem.
Luca’s back at Underground to quiz Noah about Marisa. Talk to your wife? Yes – but she wasn’t very forthcoming.
Sharon’s worried about Faith. Dylan reassures – of course he’ll come visit. She’s so sorry her illness is effecting their relationship – I’m not crazy. Dylan knows that – I love you for who you are; nothing will change that. Everything will be fine. That’s exactly what Sharon’s hoping.
Neil whispers into his phone – they’re looking into a private plane – if Dylan reaches out, don’t talk; no one can know you flew me off the island and that I wasn’t alone.
Possibly going in today, Sharon admits she’s scared – hopefully time will be the solution. Dylan’s proud of her.
Gabe wants what’s best for me and my son, Chelsea’s sure. Vikki doesn’t care what he thinks – this bubble will burst. Abby never follows through with anything – hopefully she doesn’t bring down the Newman empire.
Noah pours Luca a drink – maybe you should leave the past in the past. Luca wishes he could move on – but his wife isn’t the kind of woman a man forgets. It’s not an option.
Jack knows Marco’s getting help from someone – perhaps Victor. But he guaranteed Marco wouldn’t be able to hurt us, Marisa reminds. Jack clearly doesn’t trust Victor’s word. And there’s no telling the damage Marco could do with a powerful ally.
Fred can’t let Phyllis see the book before it’s done (which should be in another month) He’s not sure how it’ll end – where life will take him in the next few weeks. Phyllis is rootin’ for a fantastic ending. Ian chuckles – as Adam creeps around outside.
Next: Why would you choose to be with that naive bartender? Is the sex that good? Marisa throws her drink at Luca … Nick questions Vikki – Did you honestly go see Ben because you’re worried about Abby? Or are you still interested in him? …. Jack confronts Victor – Are you working with Marco behind my back???
My Thoughts: This is Jack’s idea of a ‘romantic’ meal out with his wife?? A busy rooftop? And considering the collapse, Jack’s heart attack, both being in comas this past year, isn’t it a bit weird that he and Phyllis are joking about death?? And why is Phyllis ‘teasing’ Jack about the beautiful, sexy blond he was with? Old Phyllis would NEVER admit that Kelly was attractive, much less beautiful and sexy …. Being admitted to a mental health facility is just that easy? Despite needing ‘time’ to make this ‘big decision’, it sounds like Sharon can drive herself over and check in anytime. If Sharon’s concerned about confidentiality, why is she talking on her phone at a buys coffee shop – loudly enough for Nick to overhear… Dylan reacted with the same interest as if Sharon had said she’s making a tuna sandwich … With all these sales coming in for her clothing line, shouldn’t Chelsea be busy overseeing their production? …. Wait til Nikki hears that her pal and sponsor, Neil, is drinking again. She’ll never shut up. If only she’d find out that Victor’s lying too (and why) … Luca is nice eye candy, but do we need yet another mysterious character in town? … Regardless of what Luca’s motives are for coming to town, he has absolutely no reason NOT to burst her bubble and tell Noah that his wife has been lying to him. There’s no reason, Marisa couldn’t have told Noah that she was married. She knows secrets don’t stay secrets in GC.
