Dropping by the penthouse - to check up on Sharon, Jack's surprised to find Phyllis (living there cause she left Nick).

Meanwhile, pushing the stroller in the club, Nick pauses to take another jab at Adam's new bride - where IS the groom? In the basement? Adam didn't say where he was going (which tells Skye 'quite a bit'). He better not be where we think he is, Nick growls.

No, Adam's not following Sharon - he's at church for the same reasons she is. To 'seek guidance'. You just can't stop lying, Sharon's sad to realize.

Tucker makes a late night visit to Ashley - to discuss Adam being out on bail. How can Tucker make her feel safer? Security? Or better - she can come home with him.

Daniel may not have been in the mood to celebrate the last time he and Abby were together - but having seen the RS cover, he's now in a great mood. Abby, not so much - but she WILL have the last laugh (with massive hits to her website). Daniel doesn't think the cover shot 'tame' at all - there's more to sensuality than skin. The cover IS good for his career - his art dealer wants to see new work. How about Daniel takes Abby up on her offer - to paint the Naked Heiress? Sorry - but the 'in demand' Abby doesn't think she'll be able to fit him in. Call me, she tosses over her shoulder as she sashays out.

In bed with Billy, Vikki takes Nick's call. Yeah, she can watch Faith (then reluctantly tells Nick that she never left the club - she's upstairs).

At the ranch, Victor reports that the adorable Summer is fast asleep. Likely her last care free night, Nikki brings up Nick and Phyllis' separation. They bemoan their children's complicated lives - but didn't it tame THEM decades to figure it all out. Victor's so happy to have Nikki home - finally, all their troubles are behind them ~kiss~

No - Phyllis hasn't told Summer that she's left Nick. She'll be confused and scared. Regardless, Phyllis is sure of her decision. Nick's feelings for Sharon will NEVER fade (and Phyllis is done fighting). Yeah, Jack knows how hard she tried. Phyllis hated the person she'd become - paranoid - who wants to be around someone like that? She'd never support Summer being with a man who gave 40%. Have some self respect - get out, she'd say.

Nick's sorry to interrupt Vikki and Billy's evening - but can't say what his important business is. Billy will go to the bathroom - run a shower - put his fingers in his ears etc. Now alone, Nick needs to see what Adam's up to (despite Vikki warning him to stay away).

Back at the church, Adam wants to explain his marriage to Skye (knowing Sharon DOES care). It's a marriage of convenience, Adam assures - Skye knows he loves Sharon. Stop it - Sharon doesn't want to hear it. She can't speak for God, but she will NEVER forgive Adam for what he's done.

Ashley politely declines Tucker's offer - she's OK - Adam won't come after her again. Faith? Ashley gets updates - but must let her go best she can. The day they ran into one another at the airport was a bad day (but Tucker didn't think it a moment of weakness - he's blown away by her strength). Ashley can't 'buckle' - Abby needs her. So does Jabot - more and more Tucker realizes.... Ashley pulls her hand away when Abby marches in (but don't mind her - she's grabbing her stuff - staying at a friend's). Alone again, Ashley and Tucker share an awkward chuckle.

Uh oh - Billy takes a sniff. Seems they can't rent a hotel room without there being some kind of 'explosion' (this one in Faith's diaper). They then debate who'll change the diaper. Billy's wins - prepare to be amazed at his diaper changing skills.

Over wine, Jack and Phyllis commiserate. No, she's never been one to 'settle' - but with Nick she did. Jack offers support - he knows the tough talking broad is an act (but he won't divulge her secret). Thank you for listening, Phyllis snuggles into the man who'll always be there for her ~kiss~ Phyllis is the one to turn away - tell me we didn't almost do 'that' again.

Back at the ranch, Victor's plans to continue Nikki's massage upstairs is thwarted by a phone call. How'd she get in? I'll be damned, he utters to Nikki.

Leave me alone! Prevented from running out, Sharon reminds Adam of the last time they were in this church (her for a bereavement group - HIM to be Faith's GODFATHER). Nick! What are YOU doing here?! (and with your shirtsleeves rolled up). Adam thinks perhaps Nick is stalking HIM. Oh - he's chasing his ex? His wife (that 'thing') at home? HOW does that make Nick morally superior?

Faith's babysitters discuss the joys of having a baby around. Vikki would LOVE to have another one. I don't mean us, she's quick to assure (thinking it 'cute' that she's put her foot in her mouth yet again).

Phyllis is so annoyed with herself right now - something COULD have happened. No? What? Jack wasn't even tempted? He was - but can't let Emily down again. Phyllis apologizes. If things fall apart for Jack, it won't be his fault this time. Nick loves you - he CHOSE you. Yeah, but Phyllis always felt the mistress - trespassing on sacred territory - never safe or secure.

Wow - look at you - veins popping, teeth clenched, Adam rides Nick - how'd he react to hear they kissed in Brazil? He's trying to provoke you, Sharon holds Nick back. Does Phyllis know you're so obsessed with your ex? Adam continues with Nick (who thinks HIM the one obsessed - Sharon wants nothing to do with you). Sharon CAN speak for herself - she doesn't want Adam (nor does she want Nick making her decisions). I don't need either of you.

Meggie! Victor (Nikki latched onto his arm) answers his front door. I had nowhere else to go, she claims. Now inside, Victor introduces Nikki (who's thin smile gives way to gratitude - for help in finding Adam). Victor will go get food and beverage - then, Meggie can explain what brought her there.

It may be Ashley's home, but Tucker's the one who's cooked dinner (having learned in Egypt). Candlelit talk of archeological digs leads Tucker to talk of his most recently discovered treasure; Ashley. They'd agreed to forget about what happened in Japan - but what about what's going on here and now? Ashley's open to see how it goes.

At home, Daniel sets up for a painting session. Knock knock - his model arrives. Whattcha gonna paint? I dunno. Then, it looks like Abby got there just in time.

Nick grabs Sharon's arm - and takes more wrath. She does NOT need his help. But when Adam chimes in, Sharon orders him home to his wife. left to argue, Adam thanks Nick (and the rest of the kangaroo court) for his release - and also for sending Sharon into his arms, gift wrapped. You're going crazy - knowing she loves me. Nick strikes back - Sharon used YOU to get over ME - has she ever called my name when you were in bed with her? Adam's punch sends candles scattering - and Nick sprawling.

Nick's back on his feet - laughing - we won't do this here. Nick accuses him of killing Hightower (or at least setting him up to die). His back to Nick, Adam looks guilty as Nick talks of Hightower's little boy. The fancy lawyer MIGHT keep Adam out of jail - but there's more judgment coming (and a spot in hell). Without further word, Adam walks out.

Sharon picks Faith up in Billy and Vikki's suite. Nick? He's fine (or was when she left him). Hearing Faith's been sleeping most of the night, Sharon's sarcastic (not having to worry about Billy quoting her in RS). And wheeling Faith out, Sharon takes another shot (about Vikki being OK with Billy exploiting the family). Now alone, Billy reminds Vikki that they made up (over the RS cover) - and soon has her giggling.

Phyllis thinks it time Jack go home - let's be good - turn over new leafs. She looks forward to Jack's real wedding to Emily (hoping he'll be happy). Right backattcha Red, Jack offers his distraught pal a hug.

Victor puts a tray before Meggie. Is she there because she's in trouble? OMG, Nikki's mutters in alarm (as the seated Meggie faints).

Cue the cheesy musical montage ..... In slow motion, Daniel sets his paint brush aside to pose, then kiss the Naked Heiress ... Tucker takes Ashley's hand - kisses her wrist ~kiss~ (as clothes come off) ... Billy chases Vikki around the suite - giggling and kissing (their clothes are coming off too - as Billy sweeps Vikki up - hurling her onto the bed) .... Adam returns to his impatient bride. As Adam kisses her, Skye shoves him off - long enough to rip open his shirt. Adam regains control - pushing Skye onto the sofa ... Alone in her suite, Sharon gives Faith her bottle ... Still at the church, Nick tidies up - then kneels to pray to the wall mounted Jesus .... Shown the door, Jack gives Phyllis a peck on the cheek (leaving her looking lonely) At the ranch, Nikki's on the phone - looking very alarmed at the sight of Victor with the unconscious Meggie in his arms ....

Next: Pomerance lectures - Another stunt like this and you (Chance) will be off this case - and you (Heather) will be out of a job ... I married you for your name, Skye reminds Adam - and we're gonna salvage it .... Sharon has an announcement for Nick - I'm not just leaving the club - I'm leaving GC.

My Thoughts: Today's show won't win any Emmy's (though any show featuring Adam is entertaining)- the closing montage, however, was weak. Yeah - we get it - folks are gettin' busy in GC .... At least most of the couples are compatible - Adam and Skye DO deserve each other - oddly, Vikki's more passionate with Billy than she ever was with her real life husband - and even Ashley and Tucker are believable (thanks to soft lighting and whatever camera tricks were employed). That said, I can do without the image of Victor massaging Nikki (and her expression was priceless when turning around to see Meggie in Victor's arms). Why does she have a phone book in her hand? She needs to look up 911? Not sure why Victor seems so stunned that anyone would get past his security team (or why he didn't fire whomever's sleeping on the job) ... How many times did Billy poke Vikki in the eye while trying to get that one strand of hair out of her face? What's so funny about running around with a giant stuffed pig? .... Why is Billy changing the diapers of a kid who's parents hate him? Did Sharon even bother to thank Billy and Vikki for babysitting? No wonder she looks so lonely at the end of the show (she can likely hear Vikki's head bouncing off the headboard).... NOW Daniel's cool by association? Wasn't he cool when married to Amber? BFF with Kevin? They're not cool? .... Love how Nick stands with that bulky stroller in the way of anyone trying to access the club's stairs - or come through the revolving door ... Can't recall who said - some 'idiot' Judge let Adam out on bail? But I'm guessing it's not someone smart enough to be a lawyer - let alone a Judge.
