Jack brings Sharon home to the ranch and remarks that he was surprised to see so much of Brad at the hospital. Sharon replies that she became good friends with him after Cassie died. Phone rings and it's Brad saying Victoria's in Madison with Nicki and he's available to her for anything she needs. Still no word on Drucilla. After the call, Jack says "well, he IS a good friend", but he was somewhat suspicious.
Colleen's at Lily and Daniel's. Lily's furious with Daniel for being such a jerk (the porn stuff) and leaves with Colleen, but Amber's at the door with food for them and she pushes past her. Daniel tells her that Lily's really upset with him.
Jack and Sharon discuss telling Noah about them getting married. She thinks they ought to wait a bit and he understands.
Brad's having a quiet phone conversation with somebody about Dru and Neil...flash over to Neil at Indigo drinking whiskey. Brad appears with papers for Neil to sign on Granville Global. Neil flips through them and signs. Brad says he's so sorry, Neil says he should be because he's part of the reason this happened. Brad says "you don't want to do this now", but Neil lays into him for his ONS with Sharon and the fallout is that his wife is missing. Whoa, Neil calls him a disingenuous son-of-a-bitch, wants to tell the whole town what a liar he is, biut he won't hurt his friend, Sharon, so his secret is safe. Brad says he's not his enemy in his smarmy, superior way.
Then back to Jack, Sharon and Noah. Sharon asks her son what's bugging him, so the kid asks if they are getting married. Sharon and Jack gently tell him they have talked about it, and he seems okay with it, but not thrilled.
Amber and Daniel - he's angry that he's upset his wife and has to figure out how to fix it. (He doen't show any signs of concern that he's looking at porn, just pissed off he got caught.)
Cane answers the Indigo phone - it's Daniel looking for Lily. Cane tells Daniel that Neil's puttting away a few and could use company. Amber and Daniel take off.
A scene with Jack, Sharon and Noah again, with Jack being sweet and attentive. He kisses her goodbye and takes off for work, says he'll leave his cell phone on for her, to call him if she needs anything. Then Brad calls her, wants to come over if Jack's left. He needs to talk because he just got his head taken off by Neil.
Amber tracks down Lily at CL, lies to her about the porn on Daniel's computer and phone being spam. Amber says no way would a husband like Daniel take pictures like that because he's so crazy about her (Lily).
Daniel joins Neil in the bar, notices the whiskey. Neil says lighten up, it's just one drink, and no, he doesn't want to go home, he's fine right there. Daniel sits down and orders himself a coffee.
Phyllis, horribly distraught, is at Michael's place. He tries to get her to spill the whole truth. She admits to him that she was blackmailing Sharon - their fight at the cliff was not about nothing. Michael's shocked. Phyllis tells him about Sharon and Brad. She'was furious because she had been cast as the other woman when all along Sharon was sleeping with Brad. She used this info to have power over Sharon and for revenge. Michael reluctantly agrees to keep the secret.
Brad arrives at the ranch, and Noah takes off for the field trip to the Jelly Belly factory with his class. Brad comments on how lies have a way of coming out.
Lily calls Daniel - missed a bit - she's on her way over to Indigo. Neil asks Daniel not to tell Lily about the drink, and he agrees.
Lily arrives at Indigo, Cane offers his sympathies, and Lily's a bit snappish. She notices her father's not okay. Neil says he wants to DO something - a prayer service for Dru - she's not dead, needs their prayers.
Jack runs into Phyllis at CL, and he asks her how Noah reacted to the news that she and Nick were getting married because Noah wasn't too happy with hearing about him and Sharon. Phyllis says he'll come around.
Sharon blubbers to Brad, not sure she really loves Jack. When her life flashed before her during her fall, she saw all her loved ones faces, but not Jack's. She saw her parents, Nick, Noah and Cassie, then Brad. Brad leans forward, gobbling up the confession.
Amber arrives at Indigo, greets Cane, and they hug, as she eyes Daniel over Can'e shoulder. Lily thanks Daniel for keeping an eye on her dad, then apologises for over-reacting to the pictures earlier. He says he'd never do anything to hurt her.
Lauren notices that Michael's upset about Phyllis and her state of mind. He doesn't tell her about the blackmail.
Jack asks Phyllis to sit down for a sec, expresses his concern about Sharon and Brad being so close. Phyllis says yeah, he should ask Sharon about that. Jack wonders aloud if there's something more to them than just friendship.
Sharon goes on to Brad about their night together in NYC, how she remembers every detail. Brad quotes Shakespeare to her "to thine own self be true" and confesses his love for her, kisses her.
Next:
After their kiss, Sharon says this isn't fair to Jack. He deserves better than this. Brad says SHE deserves better.
Michael and Lauren express their concern and fears about how much trouble Kevin and Gloria would be in if they were to get caught. And what happened to Kevin's no hacking promise?
Jack calmly asks Sharon if there's something going on between her and Brad.
Gloria got Kevin to hack into Ji Min's emails, so he did. They saw a few emails from Jack and are starting to piece together that Jack and Ji Min are more closely associated than Jack would have them believe. She read one email from Jack ordering Ji Min to stop Gloria from going to Extreme Catwalk, no matter what.
I wanted to like Gloria, but she pushes her luck too much and bugs the heck out of me. If she manages to bag Bardwell, and still continues her revenge on Jack, I'd love it if the poison cream scandal blew up in her face.
