MJ sees Jack kissing Sharon in the dining room of GCAC.
Billy shocks Chloe with the news he slept with Sharon. She is not amused. Good Chloe speech! She figures out the argument he had with Jack was about that. She said it looked like Jack was going to put him through a wall. He says he wishes he had.
Phyllis calls out for Nick as she enters her house, sees a note from Nick that he'll be out for quite a while, had to check in with his dad. She's pissed that he's avoiding her and the discussion about their marriage.
Nick arrives at ranch to see his father, snarky exchange with Adam. Nick's suspicious of Adam's cockiness. Victor's out for now. Weird remark from Adam to Nick that maybe one day he will earn his (Nick's) respect. Nick grimaces as Adam leaves the room.
Olivia and Ashley - baby's fine. They have a relatively unpleasant conversation about her seeing a shrink. Olivia still thinks it would be a good idea. Ashley says all she needs is support and Victor understands that.
Victor and Nikki have a civilised conversation, she comments that they have come a long way from hurling insults at one another. He apologises for being so vile to her over the Sabrina thing!!!!! (Quell surprise!) Now that they are talking like this, she'd like to say something to him about Ashley. She admits that in spite of the animosity between her and Ashley, she begged her to go to him when he was in France to get through to him and she did. Very grateful to her. If he hadn't survived that it would have killed her. She wipes a tear from her cheek and leaves. Victor is thoughtful. Gentle exchange. (The Nikki and Victor dance takes on a new beginning, lol.)

Adam goes to his computer to listen in on Olivia and Ashley arguing about the shrink business, that Sabrina came to her in a dream, etc. He grins when Ashley, who is quite ticked off, asks Olivia to leave.
(I have to say, part of me doesn't blame Chris Engen for walking away from this grim story line. Uck, eh?)
Nikki visits Phyllis, then MJ arrives at the tack house. The three ladies sit down to go over some RS interviews. Nikki asks MJ point blank what brought her to Genoa City.
Ashley stops by Adam's room to say she's going out for a walk.
Chloe and Billy again. He's doing his hang-dog thing, takes all the responsibility for the mess he made. He wasn't ready to be a father before but now he is. She gives him hell for Sharon, the baby etc, asks if they're all supposed to live there together like hippies. (Both actors are fantastic today.) Chloe lays down the law. If he wants them to be a family again, there are some things that are going to be non-negotiable.
Sharon and Jack over dinner at GCAC talk about how they hurt one another in the past, but that's all over now. He proposes to her with a ring. Sharon's jaw drops.
Nikki leaves the tack house to visit Victoria who has Summer overnight. MJ and Phyllis get into a conversation about men as MJ noticed that Phyllis was distracted. P tells her to walk away from Jack, that Sharon is pregnant, and they don't know for sure if Jack is the father but he's determined to raise the child anyway. Phyllis notices that MJ takes on a rather sinister look when she registers this news. (Crazy MJ, lol.)
Sharon says no to Jack. He's understanding, will hang onto the ring in case she changes her mind. She seems relieved when Jack agrees to a business meeting that night and leaves GCAC. (She is clearly really uncomfortable in her arrangement with Jack.)
Chloe's first demand is that Billy find them a new home where they can start over. (He at first objects.) The second is that until that time, they will live at Mrs. Chancellor's. Take it or leave it. Billy stutters and bumbles, Chloe walks off.
Nikki stands in the shadows, listens to Ashley talking to the statue of Sabrina, thanking it for watching over her and her baby. (Nikki was between her car and Victoria's house, I gather. She wasn't intentionally eavesdropping or spying.)
Victor wants Nick to go to NYC tonight on business, small window of opportunity for a particular property he wants. Nick begs off, problems with Phyllis. (Looks like Nick is about to fill his dad in on the whole story of Sharon and the baby.)
Billy's at the GCAC bar, scratches his drink order when he sees Jack, asks to speak to him. Billy apologises for betraying him over the Sharon bit, begs for his forgiveness. GOOD JACK!!! He nails Billy dead on for being all talk, says if he is ever to regain his respect, he'll tell him exactly what to do.

Phyllis admits to MJ that she's no angel, stole Nick away from Sharon, loves him with all her heart. Both women get a good laugh about their mutual hate of Sharon. Phyllis advises MJ to forget Jack and move on to someone worthy of her.
Adam has a fit when he hears Nick tell Victor that Sharon's pregnant, due about the same time Ashley is. "You have some nerve lecturing ME about loyalty" he shouts to the computer. Nick goes on to tell his dad that the baby might be Jack's. Adam gasps. Victor says capturing the past isn't always such a good idea, think carefully before doing anything rash, that he should try to save his family. Nick glowers.
Victor joins Ashley by the statue, disappoints her when he says he has to leave for a business trip. Thunder and lightening, bundle off to the house. Inside the ranch, Nikki sees Nick who is about to take off, Phyllis is waiting for him. She tells Nick about seeing Ashley talking to the statue, kind of creepy, something is not right. She hates to ruin her new-found goodwill by talking to Victor about it. Nick agrees to keep an eye on her.
Jack tells Billy he has to show up for work every day, not when he just feels like it and get a home of his own with Chloe and Delia. He has to do the work if he wants their respect. Olivia calls Jack. He says "WHAT???"
As Sharon lets herself into Jack's house, she sees Chloe with a suitcase moving out. Sharon blurts out that she ran out of the wedding because she couldn't look at her (Chloe) knowing she'd been with Billy that morning. Chloe's stunned, horrified and really hurt. "I thought he told you everything. Chloe I am so sorry."
Back at the tack house, Phyllis opens the conversation by asking Nick about his decision to stay married to her or not. Thunder and lightening.
Next:
Sabrina appears to Ashley, growls at her "Victor's mine. Stay away!!". Ashley screams.
Nick tells Sharon that he "Wants us, I want it all back".
A really sad Phyllis talks softly to Jack. He's really upset by the look on his face. They are at the tack house, a bottle of wine on the coffee table in front of them. (I couldn't make out what she said to him.) They kiss.
I've always liked Jack and Phyllis together too. I'm not thrilled that they hook up again through their mutual losses, but since Sharon and Nick are at it, why not, lol.
Lots of foreboding today about crazy MJ. That actress, don't have a clue of her name, is doing a decent job of portraying subtle nuttiness. Wait until she finds out that Phyllis is now going at it with Jack. Sharon might be out of the way, but she'll have to contend with a more formidable opponent in Phyllis. Uh oh.
Come to think of it, there is a lot of insanity going around in GC lately. I wonder if Adam set up a holograph of Sabrina and that's what Ashley saw (in the preview) or if Ashley finally did indeed snap.
