At the bar’s launch, Teddy warns Nicola not to cause any more trouble. After trying and failing to get Phil involved in breaking up Teddy and Sharon, Nicola goes to see Phil again, only to be taken aback by what she discovers.
Phil tells Nicola to leave, but she swears to keep his secret; however, she ends up spilling everything to Sharon. Nicola tries to use this information to create problems between Sharon and Teddy, which leads Sharon to confront Phil.
Phil dismisses Nicola’s claims, but Sharon senses something is off. At Harry’s Barn, Nicola stirs trouble between Teddy and Sharon, later claiming to Teddy that she has changed and wants to fix their marriage.
To keep the pressure on, Nicola visits Phil again, making Sharon furious-together, Sharon and Phil go to Teddy’s to reveal what Nicola has been doing.
