Huddled beneath the dock, Patty's hand firmly clamped over her mouth, Colleen trembles in terror - wanting nothing more than to draw the attention of the two bumbling cops (who, after a brief search, head back to the local donut shop before their coffee gets cold). The coast clear, Patty drags Colleen out - and now, it's back to GC....

Grim faced, Vikki looks at the stick of the home pregnancy test she's just peed on *groan* Should I tell JT? Or just let him raise Deacon's baby, thinking it's his own. Can I pull it off? she wonders - for a lifetime? He IS a detective after all....

Turning right into his driveway, Victor notices a familiar lump at the side of the road. My God! Nikki! he rushes over - you look like $#@! - and you smell like $%#! too!

At Jimmy's, Cane and Mac commiserate over their lousy love lives. I might as well be a virgin again, Mac whines - 6 years waiting for Billy - a few weeks of hot trailer sex - and now I've cut him off until he can prove to me that he's over Chloe. It's nearly killing me. Cane's equally depressed. Lily's coming around slowly - too slowly. After being newlyweds for a month, all she wants to do now is cuddle. Sure, she's sick from the chemo and all - but come ON... OK, to be honest, I haven't been able to get an erection since Lily shaved her head. Looking into one another's eyes, both realize there's only one logical thing to do ....

His ear close to Nikki's mouth, Victor strains to hear what she's struggling to say .... Jack.... Jack.... Jack. 'No, it's ME, Victor', he corrects as he works hard to pull Nikki into a sitting position. I ... KNOW ..... YOU .......Jack ASS!!!! Nikki manages to clarify before collapsing, exhausted.

In tears, Amber sprints from the club, managing to outrun Daniel and Deacon - despite being in 5 inch heels. But, thanks to rigorous workouts, Ester's healthy cooking and years of military endurance training, Murphy catches up. I just want a man to love me, for me, Amber wails - someone loyal and kind - oh, and rich, very rich. Someone like .... you, she kisses Murphy passionately...

With Colleen in one hand, the gun in the other, Patty spots Victor, roadside, as he bends over a woman she doesn't recognize. Did I hear someone say 'Jack'? she screeches - are you another tramp after MY Jack!? As Victor stammers his protest, an increasingly agitated Patty tells him to stop mumbling. And as Patty shoots, Victor dives to protect Nikki....

Hearing the gunshot, Ashley races out - and shocked at the sight of the blood covered Victor, doubles over. I'm having my baby! she wails. No longer restricted by his ankle monitor, Adam runs outside - and barking instructions into his phone at DR Taylor, takes Ashley to the hospital....

Nick picks Phyllis and Summer up at the airport. Hey Supergirl, he swings his daughter around. Oh Daddy - if I really were Supergirl, I would have flown, or teleported myself to Zurich, eliminating the need for you to spend an exorbitant amount of money on two first class commercial airline tickets. Daddy, did you know that a 747 consumes 16 liters of fuel per kilometer? Nick looks at Phyllis stunned - clearly Summer is cured. Better, Phyllis agrees - if fact her IQ's now off the chart. She's become quite obnoxious. We have to talk, Nick grimaces as he leads Phyllis aside to explain he's the father of Sharon's baby.....

What? This is a psychiatric facility? Not a hospital? I AM blind, Adam explains with a helpless shrug. I'm Victor Newman, I built this hospital - I don't give a damn if it's a psychiatric facility - ya got that!? Victor shouts as he's brought in (and is immediately taken for treatment).

Prep operating room 3 - I've got a C section to perform, DR Taylor barks to the staff within earshot. I'm here at Victor Newman's request - he built this hospital - go check the plaque on the wall you imbecile! he snaps as he scrubs his hands.

Safely delivered of her premature, but otherwise healthy baby girl (who's whisked away by Adam), Sharon awakens groggily - impressed to see her baby bump has reverted to washboard abs. Bring me my skinny jeans, she demands. DR Taylor gently informs Sharon that she was never really pregnant at all - and that she experienced a rare condition; a hysterical pregnancy. 'Faith' was nothing more than a figment of your imagination. Hmmm, I better call Nick, Sharon murmurs - distracted as she admires her reflection in the full length mirror - turning this way and that in her designer skinny jeans ....

Awakening in the hospital, Ashley nervously eyes the plaque that indicates she's in the psychiatric hospital. Don't worry, Adam quickly reassures - the shock of Victor being shot caused you to go into labour. Ashley's fear is replaced by joy as she cradles the baby Adam hands her. And Victor? she's almost afraid to ask. He's in surgery - we're not sure he'll make it, Adam reports. Placing baby Hope in the bassinet, Ashley reaches out her hand to Adam's - can you come and lay down with me? You always make me feel so safe, she winks.

What? A hysterical pregnancy? Nick's dumbfounded at the news he gets when visiting Sharon. Arms folded and left foot tapping loudly on the linoleum floor, Phyllis seethes in anger - as Summer explains all about 'pseudocyesis'. There is no 'Faith' she concludes matter of factly. Nick looks cautiously at Phyllis, realizing his confession was all for naught - and with a shrug and flashing his dimpled grin, hopes that since there IS no baby, Phyllis can forget all about it.

Mom, Ryder murmurs in shock - as he looks into the eyes of a well (and surgically) preserved woman. It will all be fine now, she assures soothingly. Ms Carter, visiting hours are over, the guard gruffly warns - his next words are cut off as he's stabbed with an 8 inch jewel encrusted nail file. Let's go, Sheila hisses as she hurriedly undresses the guard, tossing his uniform at Ryder - we've got a LOT to do ....

Now in Detroit, Kevin's hand shakes nervously as he opens the safety deposit box - finding it empty except for a note that reads 'If you're reading this, you're too late. After years of abuse and mistreatment at the hands of Tom Callahan, I've taken this Terroni masterpiece in lieu of the child support and alimony I deserved but never received', Gloria. Aw, Mom! Kevin stamps his foot and pouts.

In the van, the Bardwell's do their best to wipe off copious amounts of ink from themselves. At least we still have the Terroni, right Sweet Cheeks? Jeff grins. Plucking out tiny shards of shredded paper from her hair, Gloria sadly shakes her head. No, Loverman - this IS the Terroni. I put it in my briefcase, along with the money - for safekeeping. It's blown to smithereens, along with 3 million in fake money. Damn Jack Abbott. Damn Victor Newman.

Seated at the club, Michael Baldwin smiles at Murphy, the papers will be filed by Monday. Divorce due to irreconcilable differences - you'll be entitled to half Katherine's estate you know. Murphy squeezes Amber's hand under the table. I really thought it would work out - but we're from two different worlds, he shakes his head wistfully ...

Yes Mom, I get the plan, Ryder sighs. Call Kevin - tell him I've been released - then get him to arrange a dinner party to celebrate. Yes, and make sure Kevin's sister in law Lauren is going to be there, Sheila reminds her son with an evil grin.

Thanks so much for everything, Sharon bids the hospital's staff a fond farewell. I really enjoyed my time here. Yeah, that whole hysterical pregnancy thing was weird. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Do these jeans make my ass look fat? Oh hello Ashley - hello Adam. And this must be baby Hope, Sharon gently caresses the baby's face. Watching Ashley and Adam leave with the baby, Phyllis glares as Nick offers to help Sharon with her luggage - cause if there's anything you need Sharon... Nikki rounds out the group to say she's doing just fine - a bit dehydrated, but she's well rested and 20 lbs. lighter. Sharon, where DID you get those skinny jeans? Victor? He was patched up by specialists he flew in - and has gone in search of Patty William's and Colleen.

Lauren dabs perfume behind her ears - as Mike comes up behind her to kiss her neck. Any idea what this celebration dinner's all about? she wonders. No, Mike shrugs - but Kevin specifically asked me to make sure YOU came. Ryder's mother wants to meet you.
