Sharon Plays Spy as Nick’s Warnings Intensify
Nick confides in Sharon aboard the train, revealing his failed attempt to sway Phyllis. With Phyllis leaning toward Cane, Nick urges Sharon to dig deeper.

Meanwhile, Cane and Phyllis talk strategy. Phyllis downplays Cane’s obsession with Lily, but he insists nothing will derail his plans. Though Phyllis pushes for his trust, Cane isn’t convinced. When she finally admits the Newmans know about his real estate dealings, Cane becomes agitated. He pushes Phyllis to uncover the leak—unaware Adam is the one who spilled.
Sharon finally confronts Phyllis, but things don’t go smoothly. Phyllis quickly realizes Sharon is snooping for Nick and resents the setup. She rants about the triangle—clarifying it’s not romantic, but emotional manipulation from Nick. Sharon keeps pressing, hoping to learn which side Phyllis will choose. Though Phyllis doesn’t give a straight answer, she seems to lean more toward Cane.
