Sharon asks Tessa how things are at the main house. She tries to stay out of the way – especially Mr Newman’s. She appreciates Nikki but doesn’t want to take advantage. Sharon understands – that’s why she went back to school. She believes people can reinvent themselves. Believe in yourself and you won’t let anyone down.
At the penthouse, Chelsea confesses that she went to see Victor for advice – about her company. He’s a great resource – he respects and listens to me. Nick’s not mad – he’s glad she told him. He has something to tell her too – but worries it might change things.
Hilary leaves a message for Juliet – she now wants to offer her full support and will do anything she can to help – call me back to discuss.
Devon hugs Lily (who then gives Cane a kiss on the cheek and leaves her brother to express disappointment that Cane didn’t take his advice to come clean to Lily before the deposition. If anything else comes out, you and I are gonna have a serious problem) Cane’s left to think.
Drinking her martini at the bar, Gloria’s under no spell – she has a different perspective of Graham. Jack wants her to get more info; he knows how sweet she can be – and flexible. Gloria’s sure Graham’s not the moneygrubber Jack thinks he is (and she’d know) IF she cultivates a friendship with Graham it won’t be because Jack tells her to OR to get him out of Dina’s life.
Nikki? Victor enters the ranch to find a note from Nikki; I’ll be back in a few days – need to clear my head.
Nick promises to shield Chelsea from anything that might hurt her. I love you. He’s sorry if that seems scary or if it’s too fast. I love you too, Chelsea replies ~kiss~
Next: What happened? Nick asks. I found out Cane’s been lying to me the whole time, Vikki replies … She doesn’t think I’d dangle a job in front of a woman in return for sexual favours, Cane says. Because you wouldn’t, Collin knows … Cane’s the last man around here who’d be mistaken for a sexual predator, Jill huffs. Wow, thanks for that, Billy’s insulted.
My Thoughts: Jack’s comment today reminded me that I was surprised yesterday by how flexible Gloria is. She was able to fold herself in half and touch her toes quite easily. I really need to get to the gym… Surely Sharon’s not been trained by professionals to badger people into confiding in her on the crisis lines (as she did to Nick)? It’s psychology 101 to respect someone’s privacy and let them open up when and if they’re ready. I have little doubt that soul of discretion Sharon will break her promise and blab to Scott in no time…. Really Nick? THAT’S what you had to tell Chelsea that might change things? At least they both have a huge lie – perhaps they’ll cancel each other out … Is Cane out of his mind? Is he afraid of Lily or afraid of losing Lily? She’s still cheated twice as much as him and probably could have forgiven his drunken mistake. It’s his lying – after all they other times he’s lied that she’ll not be able to get over. Luckily, Jordan provides a well-muscled shoulder to cry on…. What the hell is wrong with Mariah? And why are she and Tessa throwing popcorn all over Sharon’s house??
