Jack and Nick talk, Chloe finds her man, and Phyllis and Sharon hash it out!
As Noah and Eden make out in his car, his cell phone vibrates - it's Sharon looking for him, but he doesn't answer it! Noah, suddenly, frustrated, says it's awful to be making out in a car - it's so cliche! They talk about how they could get an apartment before too long, and where they might live. Noah's phone continues to vibrate. Eden tells him that they should go home now - one day, they'll always be together.
Phyllis answers the phone in the middle of the night - it's Sharon. She doesn't tell Phyllis about Noah being missing, but asks to speak to Nick. Phyllis doesn't reveal that Nick is gone, but tells her to find someone else and hangs up. Sharon turns up on the doorstep before long, and Phyllis tells her Nick has left. She mocks Sharon's surprise, saying Nick always goes to poor, needy Sharon. Phyllis asks why Sharon is trying to hurt Nick - she is trying to take him away from Summer and her! Phyllis says it's odd that she loves Nick, yet insists on hurting him. She tells Sharon that they know she's losing it, and that Nick thinks he broke her, so he has to fix her. Sharon says she's blaming her for her problems. Phyllis implores Sharon to get some help - she's drowning - and she's going to pull Nick down with her. Sharon says she's fine, and Phyllis is only being understanding to get rid of her.
At the Chancellor Mansion, Katherine tosses and turns. Murphy tells her if she needs to talk, she should talk. She hugs him, saying, "Murphy, you are my rock." They sit up and start a card game in bed. She tells him about the difference in her relationships with Jill and Nikki. Murphy reassures her when she blames herself for things going badly with Jill, reminding of how many people are happy to have her back! They discuss Kevin and Amber, and Murphy says they are good kids - no matter what the police say they've done! She says she wants to fix it, but Murphy reminds her to give herself a break - she may not be able to, no matter how badly she wants to!
In the pool house, Chloe talks to Cordelia. She tells her that it's nothing to be worried about that daddy isn't there - after all, he put a ring on her finger. Chloe thinks back to her time with Billy in New York as she tells her daughter that they were always destined to be together. Chloe says that she was born a Valentine, and daddy was a Chancellor, but even though he's turned out to not really be a Chancellor - the fact remains that he is the man for her! She reminisces some more about the period of time when they got to know one another in New York, and how daddy did mention Mac - but mommy didn't think she was real! Chloe looks up Billy and Mac on the Internet - she sees that they were in love and getting married.
Mackenzie asks Billy what he's doing outside the Chancellor Estate - she reminds him that he has a wife! He says he needed to get some air, but then says that who else could he talk to about the Katherine craziness?! He tells her he has been busy since they last saw each other - playing - not serious stuff like she does in Darfur. She says she doesn't judge him - they both ran. He goes over how awful it was when they found out they were cousins, saying they got robbed of their lives that day. He notes that they have never come back to Genoa City at the same time - the pull was too great, they couldn't risk it! Mackenzie says no - she's moved on, and so has he - his wife and daughter are proof of that! He asks what she thought the minute she found out about the DNA test? He says he wants to talk - she tells him of the horrors of Darfur - and says she's going back. He is stunned that she is walking back out of his life!
Jack and Nick sit side-by-side at the GCAC bar. Jack mentions that he's there because he signed the divorce papers tonight. Nick says he's there to drink. Jack guesses that Phyllis is on a tear about something. Nick bristles, saying he won't listen to Jack use him and Phyllis for target practice. Jack apologizes, and tells Nick he knows how much Phyllis loves him - more than he ever thought she could love someone. He also tells Nick that Sharon loves him. Nick wonders why he's saying that. Jack says that two women he holds in high regard think he's a pretty good guy - he's not focused on resenting Nick right now - he just sees the kid he helped raise suffering - and knows one of the women is going to get hurt - he knows that it's tearing Nick up! Jack tells Nick that she needs him right now. Nick says Sharon is just going through a bad time. Jack corrects him - he meant Phyllis - it's hard to remember how vulnerable she can be. Jack says he knows Nick is there trying to decide which one he loves. Nick says he loves them both equally. Jack calls him a poor fool.
Jack runs into Mary Jane Benson in the Club. She tells him she is making preparations to leave town. He implores her to stay - if he becomes CEO of Jabot again, he'll need the best - and she's the best. She gets a text from her husband and smiles. Jack is taken aback. He tries to cajole her into staying in town, but she says to look her up the next time he's in New York.
Noah shows up at the tack house as Phyllis and Sharon are still sniping at one another. Phyllis removes herself from the scene, and Sharon berates Noah for being disobedient. He says she doesn't want him and Eden to be together because she is alone and miserable - and she wants everyone else to be that way too! She says he can't talk to her that way - she's just worried about him. Noah says she's talking about her and Nick - not him and Eden! As Phyllis listens, Noah asks Sharon, "Would you not want it all back with dad, if you could have it?" He then tells her not to answer - he knows she would. Phyllis slips away as Noah leaves Sharon stunned on the sofa. Soon Nick walks in. He and Sharon discuss Noah and Eden briefly. Phyllis suggests that they call it a night. Sharon leaves. Phyllis says to Nick, "So you're back."
Chloe arrives at the Chancellor Estate, taking Billy and Mac by surprise. She says, "See, Delia. I told you we would find daddy!" Chloe remarks that she thought Billy might be hashing things out with his old friend Mac! Mackenzie says the baby is beautiful. Chloe says Billy looks wide-awake - would he like to do the next feeding? Billy says he and Mac aren't finished, but Mac tells him he has a beautiful family and walks away.
Back in bed, Chloe revisits the problems of their wedding night. Billy says if she's going to freak out on him, could she just do it now and get it over with! She kisses him and turns out the light.
Mackenzie runs into Katherine inside the house. Katherine asks her to promise not to leave again anytime soon and hugs her.
