Sally calls her doctor and says she is concerned for her baby.
Nick gets there and asks how she’s doing.
Sally says the doctor says that lots of people get headaches during early pregnancy, it could be many things, and the doctor said that there’s nothing to worry about, but to let her know if it gets worse.
Nick sighs and says thankfully that’s all it was.
Sally sees that he was really worried about it.
The Grand Phoenix Lobby

Michael disagrees and goes off to get some food.
Phyllis says that her problems are from her children, they think she’s interfering.
Michael comes back and says that she is interfering.
Phyllis says that she’s the cause of all their problems, according to them, and she’s so tired of it.
She thinks that Lauren and Michael think she’s to blame too.
They say she’s not, but Phyllis says that she obviously can only rely on her drink. And herself.
Lauren gives Phyllis a burger and fries, and Phyllis says she can’t eat it.
Michael suggests she eats to soak up the booze.
Phyllis says they want to say, “I told you so.”
Lauren protests.
Phyllis asks how Michael can be Diane’s friend and be Phyllis’s friend too.
She says that Michael welcomed her back with open arms after she faked her death. She thinks that Diane is a parasite.

Michael tells her not to make death threats in a hotel lobby.

Mariah’s phone rings, it’s Tessa, and she excuses herself to take the call.
Adam says he has to go as well, and Sharon asks what’s going on with him.
He laughs and says he’s Adam Newman, he hasn’t a care in the world.
Sharon says she’s not buying it. Adam sits back down.
Adam says ok, Sally’s pregnant and he’s the dad.
He says that Sharon obviously knew, since she didn’t react, and asks why she wouldn’t tell him he was a father.
Sharon says that she only knew she was pregnant, not that he was the dad. Adam asks when Nick told her.
Sharon says that Sally was the one who told her. Adam’s surprised, he thought they weren’t on the best terms.
Sharon says that they aren’t, but Sally needed to talk, and she was there to listen.

She tells him what she ate, and mentions that she hasn’t been taking her natal vitamins on schedule.
Nick reassures Sally.
There’s a knock at the door. It’s Adam.
Nick sighs and asks if Sally called him. She says no.
She goes and answers the door and asks what he’s doing there.
Adam says he was just thinking about her and wanted to check in.
Sally says everything’s fine.
Adam says he wondered if there were issues, and asks if that’s why Nick’s there.
Sally tells him that he didn’t need to check in on her before the baby’s born.
Nick says he’ll take care of everything that Sally needs.
Adam says he’ll try not to interfere, but he’d like to come to some of the doctor visits and ultrasounds.
Sally says she’ll think about it.
Adam says he won’t overstay his welcome and leaves Nick and Sally in her hotel room.
Sally and Nick talk about Adam’s involvement, and Nick says he accepts that he’s not the father, so he can sympathize with Adam a bit more.
He says that Sally can’t know what to expect from Adam and that she needs to watch her back.
Sally says that with the baby involved, she doesn’t think Adam will try anything.

She says that Jack’s days of committing larceny are over, but she thinks it’ll take something extreme to take him out. She says she’ll take care of Jeremy.
Jack says that going on the offensive could be their problem. He thinks the opposite approach is the way to go.
Diane asks what he means.
Jack says they just pretend he doesn’t exist. If they see him, walk the other way, if he sends them anything, throw it out.
He says they don’t need Jeremy in their heads, he won’t be able to get at them if they don’t let him.
Jack says that she’s right, they can’t just leave Genoa City, so why should they waste another moment on Jeremy Stark?
Diane says she feels that way too, but…
