Sharon doesn’t believe Nick’s hurt Matt or ‘done worse’. As an addict, he can’t straddle the darkness and the light the way Victor can. You know what they say in the program, she reminds Nikki’ we’re only as sick as our secrets’. Well, what if Nick’s secret causes him to fall off the wagon?
You’re reminding me of your Dad, Phyllis tells Nick that he’s become an ‘unreliable narrator’ to her. I don’t know you anymore – not this version of you. If you think I’m afraid for Matt, you’re an idiot. I’m afraid for YOU.
Sally will talk to Adam. Audra has a better idea – you and Billy should go on a honeymoon. Not a bad idea, Sally admits. As Billy returns with a Fenmore’s bag, Audra leaves. When Sally floats the idea of going on a honeymoon. Billy works to keep his smile in place.
No, Sally hasn’t been ‘making trouble’ – but Chelsea sees a pattern with Adam and knows he wonders what might have been and questions his life-choices. Chelsea wants to be Adam’s last choice. Impressed with how well she knows his son, Victor encourages her to fight for it.
Adam admits he might still be with Sally but is happy with Chelsea – it’s where I belong. You and Victor have nothing to worry about; Adam’s dealing with his feelings. Jack’s about to leave when Adam shows him the photo. What’s Billy doing with HIM? Send it to me, Jack looks pissed.
We want Nick to stay clean – you may be the one person he’ll listen to, Sharon believes. Nikki apologizes for her attitude earlier and appreciates Sharon coming to her. I’ll do what I can.
You died in front of me. I brought you back to life. You’ve been in and out of hospitals and rehab – that should scare you! Phyllis gets emotional. You’re carrying around some trauma and now the lies – it’s changed you – I love you. I’ll be there for you no matter what.
Maybe now is the right time for this, Billy gives Sally a red velvet box;a necklace he had made for the delivery day (which came early) He agrees they should go on a honeymoon ¬kiss¬
Adam’s surprised when Chelsea comes home to kiss him passionately and undo his shirt and pants. She pushes him on the couch to remove her shirt. The rest (thank God) is left to our imagination.
Victor comes home to find Nikki moping at her piano. What’s wrong? It’s Nicholas.
Nick still refuses to tell Phyllis where Matt is. I’ll never abandon you, she insists. Coming through from the patio to see them hugging, Sharon darts back onto the patio unseen, looking like she’s been punched in the gut.
