Nick and Jack learn the truth about Sharon!
Jack and Nick are both delivered shocking news this week when Nick learns that Sharon's got a bun in the oven and Jack learns that she had sex with his brother. Uh-oh!
Sharon confesses the truth to Nick while they're at Cassie's grave. Instantly, Nick believes that the baby is his since Cassie's spirit said they would have another baby together. However, the possibility of Nick being the father overwhelms Sharon and she bolts from the graveyard immediately.
"She's going through a lot of emotional hell," sighs Sharon Case. "But she felt Nick needed to know about her being pregnant. It slips out."
Unbeknownst to both of them, Phyllis spies their conversation at the graveyard and it throws her for a loop. She's devastated. Later, she meets with Jack at Restless Style, and as she's unloading her troubles on him, she lets it slip that Billy could also be the father of Sharon's child.
"Jack's shocked," says Peter Bergman. "It takes him a while to even process this."
Both couples end up dancing around the truth with each other. Nick doesn't tell Phyllis about Sharon being pregnant, while Phyllis pretends she doesn't already know. Meanwhile, Jack doesn't mention anything about Billy to Sharon. He does, however, confront his brother, who doesn't deny the affair.
"Jack's furious with Billy," says Bergman. "He thinks what Billy did was completely selfish. He feels betrayed. But I think in some respects, Jack handles the news as well as he can," the actor adds. "He's just trying to make sense of it all. He realize that Sharon hasn't been completely herself lately and has been going through a tough time."
Later, Nick tells Sharon that he doesn't want to lie to Phyllis, but he doesn't want Jack acting like the father, either. Sharon pressures Nick to focus on his family with Phyllis. "Sharon doesn't want Nick to end his marriage to Phyllis unless he decides he no longer loves Phyllis," explains Case.
Jack and Phyllis end up meeting up again because they're upset about their significant others keeping secrets from them. Later, Sharon and Nick come to the conclusion that they have to spill the beans to Jack and Phyllis, unaware that they already know the truth.
"There are some great scenes ahead," teases Bergman. Case agreed: "These four characters have been in each other's lives for so long, but their story never gets old. There's always a new twist to look forward to."
