Shelly, are you around today? Are we the only 2 on the board watching? Oh, Jojo does, too, yes?
We open with Jack and Sharon discussing elopement and she thinks he's just doing this to cheer her up, and she's hesitant because of his political career.
Victoria sadly lets herself into her house, sees Brad. She's in a pout, then confronts him about his encounter with Sharon in NYC. He tries to deny it, but she yells at him, and he admits that he and Sharon did run into each other at the hotel, but it was completely innocent. She mentions the room service waiter and he admits he spent the night with Sharon.
Nick and Phyllis arrive at their place with Noah and Summer. Nick is called away, and as Phyllis tends to Summer, Noah blurts out that she's not his mother and doesn't have to do what she says.
Jack suggests that he and Sharon keep their marriage a secret until after the election, but doesn't want to force her into anything. Sharon says yes, any time, any where, and they kiss.
Yep, Brad had no choice as Victoria nailed him but good. He's really working the smary thing, LOL.
Phyllis is helping Noah study but Summer cries, taking her away. (Big theme here developing, lol.)
Sharon and Jack are having trouble coming up with a date to elope that doesn't interfere with their schedules. Sharon jokes that they could do it tonight, Jack thinks that's a good idea - let's be spontaneous.
Victoria asks Brad all sorts of questions about the ONS, figures that the only thing Brad hates about this is that he got caught.
More of Noah striking an attitude; Nick isn't impressed with the way Phyllis is handling it.
Vicki demands that Brad tell her everything that happened that night, specifically who it was that made the first move. (It was Brad, wasn't it?) He says it doesn't matter, but it was a mutual thing. She wants a play by play and he doesn't want to do this because it'll only upset her. She's screaming at him,, then shrugs him off her when he tries to touch her.
Nick gives Phyllis some advice on raising kids - consistency for starters. Sharon comes over, asks to take Noah home with her - she and Jack are getting married...tonight in her living room. Jack arranged for a justice of the peace to come over. Nick offers to help, Sharon asks him to keep her secret until after the election. Nick hus her and congratulates her, and she and Noah leave. Nick wished her luck.
Vicki's on the sofa with a bad headache (I wonder why, LOL). She says she remembers the night he was in NYC - she was at her parents thinking how much in love they were - how ironic. She's pissed and hurt and now can't believe a word he says.
Sharon tells Noah about getting married tonight and is he okay with it? He is, says Jack's an awesone guy.
Nick and Phyllis are still slightly at odds over the parenting business. Meanwhile, Jack and Noah bond as he asks him to be his best man. Sharon and Jack happily get ready as the JOP is on his way over.
Jack and Sharon share a moment talking about their losses - Cassie and his dad. She thinks that them getting maarried is a step towaards her finally healing. JOP and his wife arrive and Sharon nips upstairs to get dressed while Jack looks over the paper work and John appears to him, asks if he's invited.
Nick gives Phyllis a book on pre-teen psychology to help her deal with Noah.
Jack asks John if theis is going to be another lecture, but no he's there with the best intentions. John says he came to give his blessings and he and Sharon will be very happy together. Sharon comes down, looking beautiful and Noah takes pictures. The ceremony begins.
whohoo...please tell me this is the end of Victoria and Brad
I read a spoiler that Vicki decides to stay with Brad for the baby's sake. But then, there's another that has her sleeping with JT, so who knows?
Last few minutes:
Sharon and Jack recite their vows with Jack beginning. Good scene!! Then Sharon, after dabbing away her tears, recites hers.
Nick's pacing around, looking out the window towards Sharon's house. Phyllis is being light-hearted about the book, but promises to read it cover to cover. The kiss and get busy.
The JOP wraps up the marriage ceremony and pronounces them husband and wife. Another good scene, and I'm in tears!! John gives Jack the thumbs up sign and Noah joins in on a group hug.
Back at the Carleson's, Vicki's still really distant and angry. Whoa - she tells Brad she'll always look upon their baby as a blessing, but she won't be having it with HIM.
Next:
Victor asks Nicki if this means she's dropping out of the race. She says no, she's in this to win.
Victoria tells Nick that her husband spent the night with his wife.
Brad reacts badly when Sharon tells him that she and Jack were married last night.
Kay offers Cane a proposition and Amber's eyes light up.
