Victor Learns The Truth!

Victor accused Michael of being the one to turn him in, but soon concluded Nick had been behind the betrayal! Shocked, Victor confronted his heir. Nicholas refused to defend his actions, and Victor, realizing that his worst suspicions had be confirmed, declared that Nick was no longer his son!

Sharon's Past Returns

Cameron was careful not to let Sharon's kids hear his very dirty sweet nothings.

Sharon was sickened when Nick admitted what he'd done to Victor, but that was nothing compared to the reaction she had upon spotting Cameron in her husband's office! Frekaked out, she sought legal advice from Michael, admitting that during her MIA months last winter, she'd slept with Cameron, who had then become sexually abusive. Michael urged her to come clean with Nick, but she feared that doing so would tear her fragile marriage apart. The shocks just kept on coming when Nick later told Sharon he wanted her to join him for dinner... with Cameron! Hoping to head off a potential disaster, she paid a visit to Cameron. Despite being shocked to learn Sharon was Nick's wife, Cameron refused to nix the dinner plans. When he made a sexually suggestive comment, Sharon scurried off to see Michael, who again suggested that she confess to Nick and press charges against Cameron for his past abusive behavior. Unable to do that, Sharon came up with Plan B, and persuaded Nick to let her bring the kids to dinner. Unfortunately, her attempt to show Cameron her happy home life only amused him, and, with the kids and Nick out of earshot, the rogue continued to torment her with sly innuendo! Freaked out, Sharon ended up snapping at Cassie, and later returned to speak privately with Cameron, begging him to leave her alone!

For his part, Jack only agreed to make the trip when he discovered Phyllis would be going. On the jet, Jack warned his colleagues that they needed to keep quiet about their mission, and then caught Phyllis tyring to listen in on the meeting!

Genoa City Update

J.T. was upset when Colleen opted to visit her mother rather than attend the Winter Ball. However, Brad surprised him with tickets to accompany Colleen to the Big Apple!

He denied it, and after she huffed off, called Chris for a meeting! Brittany continued to freeze Raul out, but warmed up considerably when bobby kissed her!
