Phyllis told Nick he could lean on her.
At home, Sharon warned Cameron that her nerves couldn’t take any more of his advice. She rambled about Faith coming home and about not wanting to dwell on blame, but then her voice changed to a menacing tone as she added that there was enough blame to be had. Mariah startled Sharon by walking into the room.
Mariah asked why Sharon sounded angry. Sharon said she was venting to herself. Mariah was taken aback when Sharon had another outburst and yelled that everyone wanted to keep pointing out the similarities of Cassie and Faith’s previous accidents to the present situation. Mariah said that if Sharon needed to scream at someone, Mariah could take it. Sharon apologized and stopped, noting that she was worried that if she started, she wouldn’t be able to stop. Cameron interrupted and reminded Sharon that she didn’t want anyone to know how angry she was at Lucy and Daniel.
Sharon said she was going to the hospital, and Mariah insisted on going with her. Cameron told Sharon that no one left her alone and that it was starting to get in their way, so Sharon convinced Mariah to take separate cars. Once alone, Cameron told Sharon he would be there for her as long she needed him.
