Though Nick and the girls continue to wonder where Sharon is and whether Ian tampered with her meds, they can’t let Ian get into their heads. Leaving with Faith, Nick tells Mariah and Tessa to lock the door behind them.
We can’t keep Sharon here much longer. What will we do with her? Jordan asks. Say goodbye, Ian answers cryptically.
Cuddling in bed, Kyle and Claire discuss their feelings. Does this scare you? he wonders.
Daniel and Summer urge their Mom talk to Chance. Phyllis believes justice will be served – as for Danny and Chris, she’ll let that go too. After almost dying, she wants to focus on the future.
While Faith checks upstairs, Nick calls his Dad – we need to talk. Faith comes down near tears – Mom’s not here!
Back at Society, Mariah gets the word from Faith so leaves a message for her Mom – call one of us back – we need to know you’re OK.
Ian plans to tie their loose ends into one neat bow – the hate Phyllis carries in her heart will be her undoing. Jordan gets it – we blame the redhead for the disappearance of the blonde.
Phyllis won’t apologize for going after Sharon to protect her family. She’ll let the investigation play out – even if she was wrong.
Ian’s plan is to frame Phyllis for Sharon’s murder in the exact same spot Heather was dumped. The symmetry is beautiful. Jordan’s been patient enough – she wants to take Claire down.
Claire’s not sure if she can trust all this – you’re my first everything, she tells Kyle – I don’t know if I deserve it. Can people really change? Kyle believes so – with love. Claire feels safe and happy ¬kiss¬
With Nikki in bed, Nick (Faith shivering at his side) tells Victor that Ian Ward is out of prison and back in town.
Checking Kyle’s watch, Claire decides it’s time she should go. He asks her to stay with him the rest of the night.
Daniel and Summer believe their Mom and are proud of her.
Cris cross, Ian reminds – you don’t get it do you? Jordan’s not stupid and believes she’s being played. Ian admires her intelligence and strategic planning – we’re equals. Once Sharon reaches her watery grave, Mariah will be inconsolable – the only thing that will console her is the love of a parent – I’ll convince her that I’m reformed and slip into my role as her father figure. He took the first step last night by saving Tessa’s life. I can lure her into trusting me again – then, Mariah will be the inroad to Claire.
Still at Society, Tessa doubts Ian could have gotten to Sharon – this lunatic is obsessed with you. Aren’t you worried he’ll get to you again? No – Mariah’s stronger and determined to keep her family safe.
Yes, Nick called the cops – Ian has apparently paid his debt to society. He hasn’t paid a debt to me and this family, Victor grabs his phone – he’ll find Ian and have a talk with him.
Next Week: It’s not every day I get a cold call offering me a job, let alone an exec. flying out to meet with me, Damien says. When Nate sees something he likes, he doesn’t waste time … You should be grateful you’re not at the bottom of the river – at least not yet, Jordan leans in menacingly to hiss at a drugged-up Sharon … I heard voices, Nikki comes down to ask Victor. What the hell are you doing here?! she gasps when Ian turns around.
