Teddy was reeling from the truth about Sharon’s betrayal, who then came clean about her liaison with Grant and apologised, calling it a mistake. Furious and upset, Teddy was more angered when Nicola entered and was clearly panicked – worried the truth about Barney’s paternity was out.
However, Teddy was instead furious at Nicola for having known about Sharon’s infidelity and not telling him, along with having Zack beaten up – which Teddy believes was to keep Sharon in line. Teddy ordered Nicola to leave, and she did.
Heading straight to Zack’s flat, Nicola warned him that they would all regret it if Teddy found out the truth about Barney’s paternity.
Back at No 1., Teddy berated Sharon for her behaviour and her inclination towards “little baldy Mitchells”, while she in turn defended herself and stated he didn’t even really know her after such a short time. Noting the amount of tragedy she has faced lately and over the years, Sharon refused to be shamed for her choices.
Sharon then opened up: "Do you want to know the truth, Teddy? I’m not ready for this. I’m not over Keanu; I never was. I threw myself into this thinking I would be eventually, but I’m not. How could I be?
Teddy, you really are a great bloke, but it’s just moved too fast, okay? I didn’t want to be alone, you know? I needed a friend. Now, if you’re honest, maybe you’re not over Nicola too."
This speech prompted Teddy to grow incredibly irate and smash household items, berating Sharon for treating him like Phil and also for not communicating these issues earlier, leaving her nervous and upset. Zack and Nicola then entered, prompting an irate Teddy to order them to leave, but Zack instead tore into Teddy, calling him a “bully” with "little man syndrome" and mentioned Sharon cheating again, prompting Teddy to punch Zack to the floor and kick him.
The clash was interrupted by a distressed Barney who asked him to stop, leading to Teddy apologising and leaving, while Nicola comforted Barney and Sharon tended to a wounded Zack.
