Nick covered when Sharon walked in on him and Phyllis talking about the DNA test. Later, Phyllis and Sharon got in the car together to go take care of NVP business. When Phyllis started babbling to Sharon, her rival told her to put a sock in it. Then Phyllis started to blow bubbles, annoying Sharon even more. The topic of conversation changed to children (of course). Sharon remarked that Lauren had an inner glow about her. When they disagreed about how to raise children, Phyllis finally snapped, saying, "You know, don't treat me like an idiot." LOL. They stopped bickering when they realized they were lost. "Remind me never to go on THE AMAZING RACE with you," Sharon said under her breath.

Victor played with his power tools. When Nikki told him it was hot, he saw her glow (by Jabot?). Victor kept seeing light formations, so Nikki called the doctor. They still make house calls in Genoa City, because the neurologist raced right over and changed Victor's medication. Enter Nick, who helped his father build a cabinet.

Brad — who freaked out when he discovered someone was looking into his credit history — barked orders at Neil. When Neil refused, Brad asked Carmen to stay late to complete the task. Neil quickly changed his tune about having to be home and agreed to help Carmen, after they had dinner at his place. At the apartment, Neil played classic jazz for Ms. Mesta. Neil told Carmen he was worried about her because she works so much (Ha!).

EOE, Sharon and Phyllis's car swerved off the road!

Michael informed Lauren about Nicholas getting a DNA test for Phyllis — and that he's letting them use their home as a meeting place. Lauren was less than thrilled to be getting into Nick and Phyllis's business. When Nick soon arrived, Laur was cold as ice to him. Michael wondered what Nick is going to do when Phyllis gets the results. Nick agreed that things are "complicated."

At Newman, Sharon cornered Phyllis about an NVP assignment. After arguing for a moment, Sharon suggested they put their problems behind them. After, Nick and Phyll met up and he promised that no matter what happens, they'll deal with it together. He revealed that Sharon asked him to have another child. Phyll tried to mask her disappointment, but Nick could see she was upset and took her hand.

Michael asked Gloria for more information on his father. He wondered what he's supposed to tell his child when asked about the family. Glo reminded him how when Michael was a child she'd made up stories about his father and how Michael had actually sent letters (which Glo hid). Gloria admired an object from Michael's childhood and gave it to him. Gloria urged him to not think about his dad, but Michael wanted to find out everything he can about Lowell. He then bawled out his mom for marrying Terrible Tom.... Lauren became jumpy when Sharon came into her boutique to look around. An oblivious Sharon chatted about Lauren's pregnancy. Lauren was touched when Sharon bought her a baby gift; things became awkward when Sharon revealed that she wants to have another child with Nick.... Later, Michael admitted to Lauren that he's concerned about being a father given that he had two bad fathers.

Sharon gave Nick a new shirt, then asked many questions about his "meeting." Nick evaded the questions and was grateful when his wife turned her attention to kissing him.

Nikki and Victor argued over him taking his medication. "Stop grumbling," she told him, treating him a little like a child. "I like grumbling," he pouted. Though given this is Victor, shouldn't that be, "I like mumbling?" Soon, Katherine stopped by; Nikki confided in her that she's concerned about the change in Vic's personality and fears he might be ill. Kay urged her to not worry so much, but was surprised when Newman didn't want to discuss business. Later, as Nikki played the piano, Victor thought that he saw her bathed in a golden light.

Devon gave Neil a quizzical look as his foster pop chatted with Carmen on the phone. After, Brad invited Neil to join him in a meeting. Neil then spied Carmen at the GCAC dining room and joined her for a drink. Carmen admitted that she sometimes gets bored with her job. Neil asked her out to lunch, but then Devon arrived for a lunch date with him. Later, Neil and Brad argued over Neil's role in Newman. Neil then invited Carmen to hang out with him.

At the office, Jack gave Phyllis some notes on her report. He was actually pleasant as he did so. Meanwhile, Nicholas told Sharon that he isn't sure this is the right time for them to have another baby, but will consider it. A disappointed Sharon understood and shared that she wants to make something special for dinner. They then saw Phyllis sitting with her head in her hands. Sharon noted that Phyll looked pale. She covered until Sharon stepped away, then admitted to Nick that she's having morning sickness. They were interrupted by Jack. They then went into the elevator so they could discuss him getting a paternity test, but Brad stepped in. Later, Nick sent Phyllis flowers (awww), but then changed his mind and cancelled the order.... Phyllis told Michael that she'd filled in Nick on him possibly being her child's father. He wondered why she still hadn't told Jack. She explained that she wants to know the baby's paternity first.... Nick called to schedule a test.... Sharon informed Brad that she and Nick are thinking about having another baby.... Phyllis asked Nick to meet her at Lauren and Michael's place.

Ashley told Jill she disapproves of Kevin being hired for Jabot. Jill argued that Ashley's just taking her feelings for Gloria out on Kevin. Ashley shot back that he should've been made an assistant and is too well-paid. After, Jill showed Kevin his new (and very large) office and gave him his first assignment. Kev eagerly called Michael to dish about the job. He was then interrupted by Gloria, who came to surprise him at work. After, he realized that he doesn't even know how to log into the system. He asked Ashley for help, but she refused to help. Jill implored her to treat Kevin fairly. Meanwhile, Glo continued to bug her son at the office, while Jill and Ashley tested perfume samples. Gloria barged in, asking Jill for help with Kevin's problem. She refused, but reamed out Ashley afterward. When Jill stepped out, Ashley made a mysterious call asking someone to do something about Kevin.... Phyllis told Michael she'd help Kevin with his computer problems.... Kevin eventually logged on and completed the assignment. Jill was impressed with Kevin's work.

Victor came to, but stopped Nikki from calling the doctor. Nikki insisted and Vic finally agreed to have more tests done. After the doctor left, Victor suddenly lashed out at his wife.

Phyllis asked Jack how he got Victor to sell him his shares of NVP; Jack explained that it was Newman's idea. Sharon then informed Phyll that Jack hired her as the spokesperson for NVP. After, Sharon became annoyed when Jack told Nick her news. Later, Jack apologized to Phyllis for the way he'd been treating her. They joined Nikki and Victor for dinner.

After finishing up their work, Neil invited Carmen to his place for dinner. Devon was surprised to see them, but noticed that Neil seems to be comfortable with Ms. Mesta. Soon, Dru called and Devon took it. He later told his foster dad that Carmen seems to be into Neil.

Sharon took Nick to Crimson Lights, reminding him that this is where he proposed to her. As they shared a dance, she suggested that they have another child together.

Phyllis was concerned about what Daniel's reaction to her pregnancy would be. She also feared that if it turns out to be Jack's child, he'll try to get custody. She asked Nick what he thinks Sharon will do if the baby is his, but Nick didn't want to get stressed out over that just yet. He wondered if she's going to get a paternity test done.

At the Newman ranch, Abby and Noah played with Zapato, while Victoria visited with her parents. She filled them in on her and Brad's place being ransacked; Victor promised to have their security looked at. Nikki then told her daughter about Vic passing out, and Victoria urged him to get more tests done. An unconcerned Victor soon prepared a picnic for them right in their home and taught the kids how to spit watermellon seeds. Nikki was perplexed by the "new" Victor, but promised to quit bugging him about seeing the doctor. However, he later passed out again.

Sharon planned to make a special dinner for Nick, celebrating the eleventh anniversary of his proposal to her. She confided in Brad that she wants to trust Nick, but that Brad has been the one person she's been able to count on. Later, Brad went online and read a newspaper: "Cleveland Family Slaughtered."
