No, Sharon doesn’t remember running Phyllis off the road and doesn’t know if her car’s damaged. Nick can’t believe what she’s saying – it’s not who you are, and NOBODY believes the crazy things Phyllis is saying. She’s telling the truth, Sharon starts bawling as she leans into Nick – I killed Heather!
Billy’s so damn angry at his mother’s betrayal and lack of faith in him that he’s done with her. He lost Chelsea because of Adam – and the company because of Victor. He’ll pay for what he did to me.
Kyle needs to leave before he explodes. Let’s get out of here, Claire agrees. Jack follows second later so misses Devon thanking ‘all’ the guests for coming. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Newman for providing the venue – happy birthday to my wife. He then thanks Ms Ashley Abbott, his mother and sister – love you both. He’s inspired by Abby the same way Victor was inspired to rebuild this home for his bride.
Abby asks all to raise a glass to her gorgeous Mom. You’ve overcome so much to be here today. They’re going to change quickly, the it’s off on the jet to Fiji.
No – no updates from Nick, Victor tells Nikki after checking his phone.
Maybe you were involved in the accident – but Nick now suggests Phyllis caused it. You want to believe that but it’s not true, and Sharon can prove it.
As Abby and Devon come back downstairs, Lily chats with Nate. Your brother’s happy, you not so much, he observes. When Devon comes along. Nate assures that he’s got everything under control at Winters. Yes, Lily’s OK – focus on your bride, I love you. She catches Victor staring at her.
Call Chance – Sharon wants to make an official confession. No, she doesn’t want tea or rest – I need to tell the truth – please, let me do that. She begins by expressing her grief over Cassie’s death – working on Cassidy First – then, Lucy and Faith’s accident – the horrible memories came rushing back and manifested itself as anger towards Daniel and his family. Then, I started to see Cameron, Sharon continues; not nightmares, hallucinations. He wore that bloody shirt every time he came to visit. He told her what to do; to make Daniel pay. Sharon made herself believe that if she hurt someone in Cassie’s name, it would make everything better. That’s when I came up with a plan to kill Daniel.
Who’s ready? Abby tosses the bouquet. When it lands in Audra’s hands, she quips to Nate ‘don’t get any ideas’.
Sally and Billy are now at the bar for more whining. Victor probably threatened to go public with my Mom’s health condition, Billy figures. Sally can see that Billy still loves his Mom – that’s why it hurts so much.
Sharon was ready to commit premeditated murder. She planned it all out breaking into Daniel’s to pour poison into his whiskey bottle (which she poured it out because Cassie liked Daniel) Next? Sharon covered her tracks. Heather came home – she should have just let me go. I shoved her – then I blacked out. Sharon woke up next to Heather’s body. I should have called someone instead of listening to Cameron. I dragged Heather’s body down the stairs – cleaned up the blood – dumped her body into the river – sent a few messages from her phone – prayed the body would never be found.
I knew it was wrong but Cameron was always there to remind her of what she had to lose. Someone had to take the fall – she framed Daniel. I returned to the scene of the crime and planted the evidence – typed one last text from Heather to Paul (unsent) saying that she was afraid of Daniel; a story she corroborated with Chance. Phyllis was right – everything she said I did is true.
You didn’t say anything on the drive home, Claire encourages Kyle to talk to her. While he goes up to check on Harrison, she pours a drink. Jack and Diane come home. What the hell is SHE doing here? Kyle comes downstairs to snarl.
That was a very nice wedding, Nikki comments. On his phone, Victor reassures her that Phyllis is tough, she’ll be alright. Nikki thanks him for this house and her position as Chancellor’s CEO ¬hug¬
Victor needs to be held accountable, Billy fumes – he needs to be taken down a few pegs. Sally suggests Billy eat something instead of having another drink. You’ll regret it in the morning. Trust me. He does trust Sally – you’re a good soul.
No, Kyle doesn’t want Claire to excuse them to speak privately. Why is she in this house? Stop, Diane fesses up – it was all an act – your father and I aren’t fighting – we did it to save you.
You always did what it took to protect me, Sharon whimpers to Nick – I’ve betrayed your trust. Even now you’re treating me so gently. I had to find a way to silence Phyllis. If you and Chance hadn’t got there, she would have burned to death in her car. Is it time to call Chance now?
Next Week: I can’t believe this is happening. Is there something else you can do for her? Daniel and Summer worry as Phyllis lays unconscious. Other than stabilising her and monitoring her vitals, there’s not much else we can do, Elena tells them … Victor tells Diane that he just forwarded her the signed paperwork transferring Glacade to her. Just like that? she’s sceptical … So? Time to pop the champagne? Jordan and Ian cackle as they clink their wine glasses.
