A shaken up Phyllis enters the bar area of GCAC, thinks back to the bridge kiss, orders herself a double vodka tonic.
Nick and Sharon talk to Noah at the Abbotts. Nick decrees that the kid can't see Eden at all, that the two of them seem to get each other into trouble a lot. Sharon adds that sometimes two people just don't make a good combination.
Jack stops by to yap to Phyllis, says he and Sharon are committed and closer now, more than ever. (She's obviously up to something.) She books the best suite in the hotel for tonight.
Mike gives Victor the bad news that the diary has been judged to be authentic. Victor insists it is NOT his writing, the diary is a fake. Mike says they need a new angle to prove it's fake. Victor says Jack is behind this, he can guarantee it.
Noah can go nowhere but school and home, no online chats, no computer unless homework, for a week, and if he mouths off to his mother again, it'll be 2 weeks. Jack walks in, catches Nick rubbing Sharon's shoulder. He gives Sharon flowers, tells her the news about Jabot but Sharon isn't very receptive, certainly not as warm as she is with Nick.
Phyllis calls Nick, asks him to meet her at GCAC.
Another present from Jack to Sharon, a gorgeous dress. She refuses to go change for dinner until they talk about Jabot. He assures her the take-over is completely legit. This is a new beginning for them both. Noah enters as Sharon leaves to change, asks Jack if he and his mother are splitting up. Jack says no, they are better than ever. Sharon calls Noah, asks him to baby sit Summer overnight. Jack okays it. Bartender gives Phyllis the key card for the suite.
Phyllis looks over the RS records of Jack's expense records including the hooker thing. She calls Brad, tells him Jack and Sharon are going to implode tonight. She needs him to come to the GCAC dining room tonight, hang around, be discreet, then be there for Sharon as she'll need a big shoulder and a ride home. She will make sure that Nick is kept busy.
Sharon comes down dressed in the beautiful dress Jack just gave her, all ready for dinner at GCAC. Noah's been picked up to go look after Summer. Jack apologises all over himself, swears he's learned his lesson, thanks her for agreeing to dinner.
Frank the forger approaches Victor in jail, tells him he knows about the diary.
Phyllis fusses in the GCAC suite getting ready for Nick who si at the bar. Bartender gives him the key card from Phyllis. Nick grins.
Phyllis calls Mike, asks him for help in her scheme, keep Sharon at GCAC until she receives a special delivery, but he refuses. Nick arrives at the suite to find Phyllis in black lace undies, candles lit, etc. Jack and Sharon arrive downstairs, Brad's in the room at the bar. Jack makes a toast to his wonderful wife as Brad looks over his shoulder at them.
Frank tries to make a deal with Victor. He wants a million dollars and sprung from jail. He can prove the diary isn't legitimate.
Nick and Phyllis. Do I need to describe what they're up to?
Estelle leaves Noah at the tack house, all under control. Phyllis gives him a quick call, Nick says a few words to him. Noah lets Eden in!! (Dumb kids, lol.)
As Nick goes to run a bubble bath, room service arrives with champagne. Phyllis gives him a generous tip and the envelope with the hooker stuff in it, tells him to give it to Sharon in the dining room. Then she explains that if someone should ask where he got it from, tell them it was from a short gentleman with brown hair. Waiter agrees.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Sharon asks Jack for honesty. Another gift from Jack arrives, a little blackboard. Jack calls it a clean slate. She writes on it "forgive me?".
Brad calls Phyllis. What's going on? They look like newlyweds. She tells him to sit tight, it'll happen any moment.
Michael turns up at Sharon and Jack's table accusing him of writing the diary. Jack stonewalls, tells him to get lost, he's answered these questions already to the FBI.
Victor and Frank again. V says tell him everything he knows. He will after he gets the $1 million.
Instead of studying trig with Eden, kids kiss. Phyllis calls, says his dad's cell phone batteries are dying so if he needs anything, call her phone.
Michael keeps up on Jack who is getting really pissed off now. Waiter gives Sharon the envelope. She opens it says "Your credit card statement?" Jack looks stunned and Michael a little horrified as he's figured out that it has to be part of Phyllis' scheme.
Eden leaves the tack house. (Much better actress than the last one.) Kiss, kiss, giggles.
Knock on the GCAC suite door, room service waiter with news that the little task is all done. He wheels in dinner for Nick and Phyllis. (Wow, Phyllis really had thought of everything for this thing.)
Victor threatens Frank that he'd better think long and hard about who he is trying to deal with here. Frank calls the guard to let him out. Victor smiles to self.
Sharon reads the pages, has questions. (I can barely watch this. Ugh, just ugh. I really didn't want this to happen to Jack!!) Michael's still there. She wants an explanation NOW. Jack says he's soooo sorry, but he's a sex addict. Michael's face, priceless.
Next:
Nikki to Ashley, that her talk with Victor went exactly as she (Ashley) had hoped. (Nikki does this with an accusatory tone.)
Jack stops a waiter, asks where Mrs. Abbott is. Waiter tells him that she left with another gentleman. "What gentleman?"
Nick tells Phyllis that he gets the feeling that there's something she's not telling him. She shrugs, asks "like what?.
Not weird at all. I feel the same way. If Jack gets caught for the diary, though, HUGE legal ramifications for him, though. Jail time at the very least.
Doesn't it look like Jack and Phyllis would be perfect together with all their skulduggery these days? I was really impressed with Phyllis today. She had thought of everything, right down to ordering dinner so she could verify with the waiter that her envelope had been delivered. I wonder what the point of the cell phone message was to Noah. That had to be crucial to her plan somehow. Maybe she disabled Nick's phone so Sharon couldn't call him after the disaster in the dining room.
