At her house, Sharon tearfully told Nick about the terrible accident involving Phyllis. She admitted she’d blacked out and unintentionally caused the crash, leading to the horrific realization that she had run Phyllis off the road. Consumed by guilt, she described the hallucinations of Cameron (Linden Ashby) and memories of Cassie (Camryn Grimes) that had led her to act irrationally, even attempting to frame Daniel for Heather’s murder. Despite Nick’s reassurances, Sharon insisted she must tell the truth, though Nick suggested waiting before involving the authorities.
At the end of the night, Nikki thanked Victor for the beautiful wedding, feeling grateful for all he’d done. Victor assured her that she deserved happiness, reflecting on the enduring connections among their family.
