Sharon and Nicholas paid a visit to the coffeehouse for the first time since their ordeal with Matt.

Once they returned home, Nick wanted to know what was wrong and encouraged to talk about her fears. She wondered if something was wrong with her, the way she was sucked in by Matt's lies.

Tricia received a visit from her father who brought her some new clothes in preparation for her release. She told him that she looked forward to seeing Ryan and being with him again -- her father tried to clear the situation up for her and told her that Ryan was just her friend now.

At Ryan's apartment, Victoria sensed too many memories of Tricia there and wanted to go somewhere else. They talked together and thought about their future.

Phyllis and Jack talked about the fact that she had known that something was going on, but hadn't told him.
