Nick knows what Patty’s accusing her of – raising Christian all this time – it makes zero sense. Sharon begins to fall apart. She cringes and cries. “How do I say this to you?” Nick gapes. He pleads with Sharon to tell him Patty’s words were the rambling of a lunatic. Sharon admits it’s the truth – Sully is his baby. Nick struggles to get his mind around the confession. Sharon insists she didn’t know the whole time – Dr. Anderson convinced her she was pregnant, and gave her Christian to punish him. “We’re all victims, Nick.” Nick asks when she found out Sully was Christian.

Sharon and Nick come downstairs. Nick informs Sharon he’ll be back in the morning and exits. Sharon asks Dylan to sit down with her. Dylan chooses to stand. Sharon gulps and sobs, “I’m so sorry!” Dylan starts to get scared. Sharon shakes her head. “Sully is not your son.”
