Brad's vote stuns Victoria. OH NO!!!
I'm sure due to the Phyllis blackmailing him.
Ji Min defies Jack's wishes regarding Gloria.
Jack pops the question - but to whom?
SOD:
After overhearing an incriminating conversation between Sharon and Brad, a curious Phyllis does some digging. Her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that, yep, they indeed slept together in a NYC hotel.
"Phyllis wasn't expecting this," explains portrayer Michelle Stafford. "She's like, 'Woah, I guess I'm not the only sleeper in town [laughs]' "
Armed with this information, Phyllis promptly blackmails Brad into voting yes for jack's Clear Springs development project. Brad, in turn, threatens to tell the Newmans about her scheme...but Phyllis is undeterred. "Oh, she isn't scared of Brad," scoffs MS. "She doesn't care that he's killed people because she's killed people, too. She thinks he's a big buffoon."
On the other hand, Brad "is absolutely scared of what Phyllis might do," admits Don Diamont. "she has information that could destroy his marriage."
Meanwhile, Victoria gets some happy news, which she eagerly shares with her family: She's pregnant. Is Phyllis' animosity toward Brad partially due to protecting her new sister in-law? "No, she isn't feeling protective toward Victoria," muses MS. "What the blackmail is really about is Sharon. She's been pointing a finger at Phyllis, 'You took my husband! You're a homewrecker!' Then Phyllis finds out that Sharon and Brad were banging each other. That's where the attitude comes in."
As for her keeping the truth from Nick, "I don;t think she's thinking about whether he'll be angry with her for lying," notes MS. "This is all to protect Nick. She wouldn't tell him that Sharon and Brad did this because it would hurt him. She's trying to fix it in her own way and get what she wants out of it."
"Brad's keeping quiet because he doesn't want to jump the gun,
especially with Victoria being pregnant," adds DD. "He just wants to ride it out."
However, they might not be able to keep quiet for long. After Brad changes his vote, Victoria suspects that something is up with her hubby - and that Phyllis is behind it.
