Phyllis rants that Heather might still be alive if Sharon hadn’t badgered Heather, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei), and Lucy Romalotti (Lily Brooks O’Briant).

Nick loves defending Sharon so he will rescue her from Red, who could find herself implicated in the death due to Sharon’s shenanigans.

Meanwhile, Chance Chancellor (Connor Floyd) advises Daniel to be cautious since someone is texting him from Heather’s phone. Chance is back on the GCPD after a stint in corporate America showed him that business moguls are scarier than two-bit thugs.
