Jack is still cold and snarky to Sharon who just wants to make nice.
Jana notices that Phyllis is a little worse for the restless night she spent and tries to help Phyllis get over "the kiss".
(Geez - that kiss! Let it go, please!!)
Lily complains to Colleen that she just can't stop thinking about Cane, and it's driving her nuts trying to interpret Cane's interest in her. They dissect all of his actions into minute detail - ugh.
Abby tells Victoria that her mommy got engaged to some Forester guy. (She's visiting her daddy and they are all in the GCAC.) Victor enters and Abby runs to greet him with a hug. Meanwhile, Brad snarks to Victoria how it's difficult to explain the concept of infidelity to a child (referring to telling Abby why they aren't together and Victoria's pregnancy).
And back to Colleen and Lily scheming to have Lily spend time with Cane.
Nikki and Cane talk about how tough it is keeping Clear Springs afloat, and she decides to put off the next phase of development. She doesn't want to have to go any further into debt at the moment, blames Jack for her business woes.
Phyllis does her gentle best to discourage Jana's best friends routine. Guard announces that Phyllis has a visitor, Sharon Abbott. Phyllis's eyebrows shoot up as she says "this should prove interesting".
Back to Victoria and Brad talking about not telling Abby that the baby might not be her brother, then in a surprising twist, Brad says that he just wants the best for the both of them no matter who turns out to be the father!
Sharon and Phyllis have a somewhat hostile (and guarded) conversation about that damn kiss. Phyllis asks her if it was pay-back. No - they are just friends and Nick was confused at that time. Sharon points out that she and Nick share a child, so the 4 of them are going to have to find a way to make this work or the next 50 years are going to miserable.
Jack encounters Victor at GCAC who is gloating over all the bad press Jack is getting in the newspaper. Victor recommends Jack sell him his casino, Jack refuses. Then Jack tells Victor he needs to learn from his mistakes - he has much too much ego and pride to ever admit that he's been wrong. Victor counters that he never forgets, he just gets even. Good exchange!
Colleen pours her father another cup of coffee, asks what's up with him and Victoria. Brad admits that he would love it if Victoria's baby was his.
Nikki decides she needs to go to Clear Springs for herself but doesn't know how she can get away. Victoria offers to go for her since JT will be there anyway. She promises her mother that she'll be careful. Foreboding sequence - Victoria tears up when her mother shows her baby outfits she bought, refers to how she gave away all the baby clothes she bought for the one she miscarried. Niiki understands. (Something awful's going to happen in Clear Springs! Can't you smell that one a mile away?)
Sharon reassures Phyllis that Nick loves her, but Nick isn't who she's (Phyllis) worried about, it's Jack. They part, but not before exchanging a few more snide comments. Phyllis questions whether or not Sharon truly loves Jack.
Then over to Lily and her plot to spend time with Cane as she approaches him with clipboard in hand. He agrees to be interviewed for her fake anthropology paper.
In a (what's supposed to be) touching moment, Colleen tells her father that she hopes Victoria's baby is his.
Victoria breaks down as she fondles the baby clothes her mother had bought for her unborn son. Hm.
Lily and Cane flirt as he tells her that in Australia they don't have the "designer jeans" mentality, talks about astronomy, then catches her when he asks to read her paper when she's done, then blows her off in a smooth and charming way. He's on to her, chuckles to himself.
Oh, thank goodness Noah's hair looks like a normal 10 year old's today! Sharon asks her son to help her with a present for Jack.
Jack and Nikki have unfriendly words. Meanwhile Victor enjoys himself as he hears the over the TV that Clear Springs is turning into a huge white elephant.
Lily tells Colleen that she blew it with Cane. Colleen encourages her. Stupid twits the both of them, lol.
Brad catches Victoria crying and she explains how she's afraid she'd jinx the pregnancy if she kept the baby clothes. They share a close moment as he hugs her. (Is JT going to be killed off???)
Jack is touched by the present Sharon gives him - an MP3 player with all his favourite music on it. Hugs.
More Jana and Phyllis. Oops - Jana figures out that Sharon doesn't really love Jack and Jack really needs Phyllis now but she's stuck behind bars. (Will crazy Jana hurt Sharon next??)
Cane flirts with Heather. (I can't take my eyes off that mole on her lip.)
Next:
Lily gushes to Colleen on the phone that her dad invited Cane over.
Jill tells Jeffery that she thinks his brother came very close to finding out who it was....
Kevin tells his mother that Jeffery has no idea why William sent him that cream. She replies that she has to get it away from Jeffery before he puts it together.
I think that a lot of this clear springs is gearing Amelia and maybe even Thad up for baby leave. She should be due with the real baby soon. I hope they dont kill them off
and I just recently started watching B&B so its cool to get a mention of Ashley being engaged to Ridge.
