JT’s Body’s Missing From Chancellor Park

At Chancellor Park, Phyllis, Nikki, and Victoria are tired and crab about Sharon leaving the dirty work for them. They’re wondering if she’s turning them in to Rey Rosales when they hear a noise. A masked person appears, and the women scream. It’s Sharon. She reminds them they told her to blend in with Halloween and complains she was dealing with the mess Phyllis made. Phyllis tells her to dig and snaps that she and Nick ran into one another by chance the day she took her ring off. Sharon suggests Phyllis leave town with JT’s body…what’s keeping her here? Phyllis informs her she was elected CEO of Jabot. Nikki laughs but Victoria confirms it. Just then, Billy calls Victoria, who lies she’s at Newman Towers. After, they brace themselves to look into the hole…it’s empty. Victoria asks, “Where’s JT?” Nikki breathes, “I have no idea.” Phyllis decides the corpse must have moved itself…and they just wired it a half a million cash. The women fret over what to do now. Victoria points out they have to put the dirt back. Phyllis says the good news is they don’t have to move a corpse, and Sharon says the bad news is whoever has the corpse is a bigger threat to them now.

At Dark Horse, Nick recalls Sharon telling him he needs to accept they’re over.
