It's getting late in Genoa City. At Newman Enterprises, Victoria is telling J.T. that she's Victor's daughter; she's the co-CEO of his company; why then wouldn't Victor tell her he was going out of town? And Adam, the guy is still a pain in the... oh there he is now with news that the Newman jet has landed.

Barking orders over the phone, David comes in to applaud Nikki. She is the Nikki Newman of Jabot. So lets get married; set a date. Nikki can't do it; it's too soon. She wants David to prove to her first that he's stopped gambling. She knows how addiction is. Stressors like marriage cause addicts to relapse. As for second thoughts, Nikki says she's not having any where David is concerned.

The Korean woman is screaming at the Abbott home door. Jeff pushes her outside as a stunned Gloria looks on.

Still at the mausoleum, Lily keeps saying how tired she is and can't understand why. She's only drinking coffee by the gallon. Cane wants her to see a doctor. Can't do that, Lily says she doesn't have time. She needs rest. So what about the possibility she's pregnant? Lily told Cane there's not a chance. They were careful when they had sex. They used protection. "Yeah, we used protection," Cane echoes, but notes that nothing is one-hundred percent. Well, it's a little late for that, Lily says as Cane keeps pushing her to see a doctor so that they can rule pregnancy out.

Telling Gloria that the Korean is in the car and that he's taking her to a hotel, Gloria screams at him to get the honeymoon suite for his girlfriend. She also questions why the girlfriend showed up now, of all times, and orders Jeff to get out too. Jeff thinks she's jealous and again Gloria screams for him to get out. "You sound just like a wife; one who is in love," Jeff adds and again she screams for him to get out and don't come back - ever! Jeff leaves laughing.

On the phone with Sabrina, Victoria learns that Victor may be thinking of buying art from her for his collection. She asks that Sabrina call her from New York and following the call J.T. says he thinks Sabrina is Victor's art consultant and wonders what he must be paying her. Just then Victor gets off the elevator. Spotting him first, Adam says, "Welcome back, Sir," and wants to brag about what a busy beaver he's been. Victor says he can tell him later. For now he needs to speak with Victoria, and Adam appears to be hurt.

Lily isn't ready to be a mommy. There is no baby! She's only twenty! Whatever happens, Cane says he'll always be there for her. Lily suggests it might be time to buy a pregnancy test kit.

With Victor in his office, Victoria tells of speaking with Sabrina and his possibly hiring Sabrina to help start his contemporary art collection. Victor says it's very possible. Still, Victoria worries that daddy is having trouble keeping his mind off the divorce and other problems. Victor says that's not it. He's moving on.

Now at the AC, the girl is asking Jeff how he can be with that woman when he can have her? Jeff replies it's over between them and he's taking her to the airport. But the girl says she's not going anywhere.

Where to buy a pregnancy test so late at night? That's Lily's dilemma when most all the stores are open. Cane's phone rings. It's Nikki calling. Did he forget? There are people arriving from California on their way to Milan and they want to meet with Cane. Damn the luck, Cane says he'll call Nikki back.

Victor wants to know how Victoria and Adam are getting along. "The jury is still out," she says, as Victor goes on to say he and Adam talked about Hope and that Victoria needs to be patient with Adam because he didn't know his father or that he has siblings. Just then in comes J.T. pushing the baby buggy. After some look at the pretty baby remarks about a baby that can't be seen, J.T. leaves with little mention about the security breach.

But then Victor wants to know if Victoria thinks Adam is the hacker. She says no; but she won't say who is, or anything more about the breach other than that it has been handled. Still, Victor wants a full report on his desk in the morning as Nikki comes in.

Returning home, Lily wonders why Devon isn't at class. His professor has the mumps, and he can see Lily looks terrible. She's working day and night and she can't handle it. Wrong! Lily says she can handle it. She's stressed is all. As Devon recommends she see a doctor, Lily looks like she's going to barf and runs off to the bathroom dropping her purse. Picking it up, Devon sees the pregnancy kit.

Gloria ran over to the coffee shop to tell Jana what happened. She and Jeff were "going at it" right there in the living room when his girlfriend showed up. Gloria is thankful, however. The girlfriend saved her from making the biggest mistake of her life.

Also at the coffee shop, as Brad observes from afar, David's bookie, Andy, attempts to get David to place a bet.

Appearing at the AC too, Victoria meets with Nikki who earlier didn't get anything out of Victor except that he was out of town and a bad look. Nikki probed for information about Sabrina and whether she was with Victor in L.A. Victoria confirms as much, saying she thinks Victor will become Sabrina's client. Victor and contemporary art? Nikki can't believe it.

Meantime. Victor is leaving a message for Sabrina. He had a good time with her and is looking forward to hearing from her again.

So now Victoria wants to know if David makes Nikki happy. He does, and he wants to set a date for marriage, but it's too soon. Nikki also told Victoria not to be getting any fantasies about her parents reconciling.

Returning from the bathroom, Lily tells Devon that she's coming down with something. Popcorn in the microwave ready, Devon goes off to get it when Cane calls. Lily isn't answering her cell. Is she there? She is. He's just checking.

Nikki wants Victoria to be comfortable with David. She couldn't ask for a better man. That's okay with Victoria, so long as Nikki knows David well enough to marry him.

Victor is having a flashback to being with Sabrina. The keywords are: "Sometimes the extraordinary is right before our eyes." In comes Adam. Can we talk? Victor seems to be in a good mood today. Today? It's night!

David has a flashback to when he told Nikki that he'll never lie to her again, and her telling him that she'll share his struggle. Then his phone rings. It's Andy with a hot tip. David says no, no. no! Oh, okay. Maybe just once. With the fish taking the bait, Andy calls Brad to say things went well.

Back at the mansion, Jeff informs Gloria that his girlfriend is leaving in the morning and he wants them to start over as if they had just met. Why, Jeff Bardwell! Are you asking me out? He is, but Gloria can't forget what he's done.

Arriving at the AC to meet with Nikki, Victor runs into Victoria. If he's looking for David, David isn't there. Why on earth would she say that? Victor could care less about David. Don't worry, mother has no plans to get married. So, who cares? Not Victor, and he tells Victoria as much, and that he knows what she's trying to do.

Flash to Cane looking worried. Flash to Lily looking like she just got some very bad news. She picks up the phone and dials, but we don't get to see who she's calling.

At the office, Victoria and Adam are discussing the Beauty of Nature ad. He knows what makes a "compelling ad", but she doesn't want to make any changes at this point especially if it means doing anything Adam's way.

Sabrina blows in!

"What are you doing here?" Victoria exclaims as she learns that Sabrina will be going on to New York tomorrow. Noting that Victoria seems a bit out of sorts, Victoria says she is - thanks to "boy wonder". Seeing Sabrina too, Adam has a flashback to seeing her and Victor kissing. This is followed by the arrival of Victor to whom Adam says he's been at work since 6:30, but who's keeping track? "Obviously, you are," Victor snorts.

The magazine finds Jack, Phyllis, and Nick talking about purchasing environmentally friendly supplies like recycled paper and energy efficient light bulbs. They note too that the web site isn't working right as Phyllis had promised before the launch, and Jack suggests bringing in professionals to fix it. No, Phyllis says she'll handle it just as Felicia Forrester arrives!

With Sabrina in the break room, Victoria wonders how she got Victor involved with contemporary art. Sabrina thinks it's because Victor has been expanding his horizons. Victoria says that's a good thing because Victor has been so "isolated" lately what with the divorce and the estrangement from Nick. When she hints that daddy and mommy might reconcile, Sabrina reminds her that Nikki is planning to marry David. Victoria says David Chow is not much of a step up. Nevertheless, Sabrina goes on to say that Nikki has "moved on and Victor should too. Alas, Victoria says she's not giving up on a reconciliation.

In his office, Victor is thinking back to being with Sabrina in Los Angeles - and the kiss.

Felicia is in town because she intends to be very "hands on" where Forrester ads are concerned. She's also interested in that model on the magazine's cover. "Lily is on exclusive contract with Jabot," Jack injects, prompting Nick to tell Felicia that she might have to twist his mother's arm is she wants Lily. Felicia also wants what all advertisers want: favorable editorial space. Well, they'll have to talk about that later over dinner at the AC. This suddenly worries Phyllis. People will think the magazine is bias. Jack has also reached the conclusion that if Felicia wants Lily, they'll just have to get Lily for her.

At the campus house, Lily has summoned Cane. Bad news... she's pregnant.

As they talk about designs for Amber's ad, Jack asks Daniel if he'll lock up before getting a call. The bid on recycled paper is outrageous and the guy he's discussing it with his leaving for Chicago in the morning so Jack must meet with him pronto. Meantime, Phyllis is calling Nick to say the sitter is sick and she can't make it to the AC with him. When he comes home, Phyllis wants him to bring her a hot fudge sundae with extra fudge. Overhearing Nick's end of the conversation, Adam learns that Phyllis is home alone.

Asked why she's not in New York, Sabrina tells Victor she took "the scenic route". But it's only for the night as she'll be leaving in the morning. So why not stay at the ranch? In pops Victoria to tell Sabrina to be sure she spends some time with her before leaving. After some sweet talk, Victor convinces Sabrina to stay at the ranch. His driver will take her there.

After commending Amber on her "slick" ad/designs, Adam says he came by the magazine to see Phyllis. Nick quickly volunteers that Phyllis is home.

During their dinner meeting, there's not much other than lots of jibber-jabber between a pushy Felicia and Nick and Sharon about the teen market and colors.

Lily's aghast. Didn't they do everything right? Maybe the test is a false positive.

Phyllis is at home with the baby when Adam comes by looking for Nick. Gosh, Nick's not home? Oh well, there are problems with the BON ad. He understands this will mean an added expensive for the magazine, but... not a problem! Phyllis says the ad will be fixed.

When Felicia's phone rings, she goes off to take the call leaving Sharon alone to tell Nick that if Felicia keeps stroking him he'll start purring. Nick knows what Felicia is doing. It's no big deal. Sharon thinks it is and that Felicia wants to stroke more than Nick's ego.

"We aren't kids," Cane sputters. He's got money; they've got family. Lily keeps whining. She can't be having a baby. How will she live her life with a baby dragging her down? Besides that, Neil will kill her and she's not telling him because Neil will be disappointed and give her one of those looks.

Sabrina arrives at the ranch and she's looking at photos on the piano when Victor pops out with wine! They speak French to each other off and on before toasting to what Victor says is "a new friendship".

Amber thinks Daniel is jealous because Adam paid attention to her. They squabble back and forth until Amber screams, "I'm the anti-Lily" and tells him to go find himself a boring girl; there must be thousands. This leads to a removal of clothing and sex again at the office.

Phyllis wants Adam to leave. He can't understand what the rush is, so she tells him that his coming to see Nick was just an excuse to see her. That's when Adam says that Phyllis is attracted to him. That's it! Phyllis wants him gone. Adam wants to know how she and Nick hooked up because they are so different. It's none of Adam's business, and as Phyllis is showing him the door Nick returns.

Thanks to Miguel, Victor says a grand meal has been prepared just for him and Sabrina. But first he has a gift. A vase. A puppy vase so rare Sabrina nearly faints. For me? Yes, for her and white mums too!

Nick didn't bring home the fudge sundae. Phyllis got instead chocolate brownies with extra frosting. Nick quips that he doesn't like Adam bringing work into the house, adding that Adam is "insecure." Phyllis says Adam is "smug" and "overconfident" and wonders what it is that makes Nick so love her. Kissing her all over, Nick says there are many things he loves about her. As the clothes come off, they go up the stairs.

The deed done, Daniel says he's never met a girl quite like Amber before and they go at it again.

Feeling Lily's belly, Cane watches as she sleeps.

Reporting to Sharon, Jack brings her up to speed on what happened with Felicia.

The deed done, Nick and Phyllis are downstairs. She wants to know what if they hadn't had an affair. Would they have ended up together? Nick says sure they would.

Adam is at the AC when still at the office Victoria calls Phyllis to learn that Adam ordered changes to the ad. There will be no changes! Does Phyllis understand? She does. Then Victoria calls Adam. Seeing who's calling, he lets the call go to voicemail.

The mums now sticking out of the puppy vase, Sabrina is flying high. She wanted to see Victor again, but is it a dream? It's no dream, Victor mumbles as he kisses her, and lifting her into his arms, carries her upstairs.

It's a new day at the funny farm. Jeff is giving Gloria a rose and talking about "a new beginning". To celebrate, Jeff talks of a special, fancy dinner and then off to get takeout from the AC he goes. The moment he's gone, Kyon barges in to tell Gloria that Jeff hurt her and he'll hurt Gloria too.

Out at the ranch, Victor and Sabrina are speaking French. She slept "amazingly" and gets a kiss from her man before Victoria blows in. Saying he's off to the office, Victor is thanked first for "taking care of" Sabrina. Alone now, Victoria wants to know everything. "About what?" Sabrina wonders. Everything. "Tell me what happened!" Victoria implores.

Karen is moving into Neil's place. She's got romance novels and books of poetry, but is Neil sure the kids will approve? She doesn't want to kick them out of their mother's home. Neil says no. She's not kicking anyone out. This is her home now; their home.

Looking like they slept on the campus house sofa, Cane tells Lily that he loves her. Lily needs time to think. Cane says he'll take the day off and think with her. No, she wants to be alone. The baby will change everything. Ah, but it already has, Cane notes.

"Did he offer you a job?" Victoria probes, adding that Victor needs to so that Sabrina will be in town more often. By the way, would Sabrina go to the office with her? Of course she will.

Informing Gloria that Jeff promised to marry her and didn't, Kyon flips. Gloria seduced Jeff away from her! Gloria is a rich American. Is she in love with Jeff? Gloria says it's none of her business and then takes Kyon to see the wine cellar.

In his office, Victor is impressed with a report "Good morning sir" Adam did. Adam wants to be reassigned to another project. Victoria is getting in his way and there's too much disagreement between them. Victor disagrees, "conflict can be productive."

More nonsense with Neil and Karen as Neil reads steamy lines from a romance novel and they frolic on the bed.

Summoned by Lily, Colleen arrives to learn that condoms are only effective 98-percent of the time. Does that mean... yes, Lily is pregnant. Well then, she must see a doctor. Does Cane know? Yes, he knows, and Lily says that together they'll figure things out. But, does Lily want the baby? Lily isn't sure. In a way she does, in another way she doesn't. Has she told Neil? Oh heavens no. She can't tell daddy. He'll be "disappointed" and that won't be good because Neil has only recently accepted that Lily is all grown up.

Engaged in another of their squabbles, Victoria rips Adam for going behind her back. That Victor overrode her decision about the Beauty of Nature ad didn't help. "Is it because I went to Harvard?" Adam sneers, as to why she doesn't like him. He can't understand the hostility because he doesn't want to replace her, or Nick. He only wants that she accept that he's qualified for this job. Oh, okay. She accepts.

Coming down the AC stairs, Wally spots Jeff and assumes Gloria is home alone.

At Jabot, Felicia tells Nikki she wants to borrow Lily. Nikki isn't sure until Nick says that having "two industry giants" sharing the same hot model would be awesome. In comes Cane to learn that Lily is in big demand and if there was any doubt Nikki wiped it away when she said that Lily is about to become a very busy girl.

Lily doesn't know what to do. Colleen wants her to see a doctor so she'll know how far along she is. Just then Chloe calls. Get her butt over to Jabot pronto! Lily says she's not feeling well, but eventually gives in.

Kyon and Gloria are in the wine cellar so they don't hear when Wally rings the doorbell. After a short chat about wine, Kyon slips out and locks Gloria in.

Informing J.T. that she and Adam have reached an agreement, J.T. springs it on her that he's doing a background check on Adam. Isn't it weird that J.T. would do that? It is, but wouldn't Victoria feel better if she knew more about Adam? She would.

Thanking Victor for a good time, Sabrina says she feels bad. She hates keeping secrets from Victoria. Victor easily blows off that concern by giving Sabrina something she can tell Victoria. He wants to hire her as a consultant!

Meeting Felicia at Jabot, and learning that she'll be the model for a new line of Forrester products, Lily says, "I'm speechless."

Letting himself in, Wally calls out for Gloria. Kyon pops out to ask who Wally is and threatens to call the cops. Screaming in Korean, she pushes him out the door, but he's already seen Gloria's purse.

Victor wants Sabrina to stay in Genoa City and take her arts excursions from here. Victoria pops in, Sabrina leaves so that Victoria can whine about Adam. Victor has a solution. He's breaking her and Adam up. Adam will retain control of BON and Victoria can find something else to busy herself.

Jeff returns with the takeout and he too calls out for Gloria when Kyon reveals herself. Where's Gloria? "She left you! Divorce her! She used you. Why would you want her when you can have this," Kyon says while taking off her clothes.

Victoria is pissed. Victor doesn't care. Adam brings to NE a "fresh prospective" and his mind is made up. Slamming out, Victoria runs into Sabrina in the hall. Whining about what has happened, Victoria is elated when Sabrina tells of the job offer. Then, out of the blue, Victoria asks if Sabrina will be her son's godmother! She had to ask? Of course Sabrina will be the godmother. And why is that? Because Reed Hellstrom is "a miracle child". That's it then. Sabrina is expected to attend the official swearing in ceremony which will take place in two weeks.

Karen wants to hang a picture. Neil says, so hang it. Just as Karen is about to do it, Neil has second thoughts. Not there! Not in the place where Dru hung a picture when she first moved in, and especially not on this day of days. The anniversary of Dru's memorial service! As a matter of fact, Neil says he should probably "drive up" to see the kids.

Back home, Devon reminds Lily that this is the anniversary of Dru's memorial. She knew that. She had a dream of Dru and wishes Dru could be with her. But doesn't she know? Dru is always with them. That's what Devon said. Lily's got news for Devon too. She's going to Los Angeles on a modeling assignment. But what about school? Devon didn't ask. He did think it was odd considering how sick Lily has been. Oh, he saw the pregnancy test too. Is she pregnant? A weepy Lily spits it out; yes. But she can't tell Neil and wants Devon to promise that he won't tell.

Victor's got a solution to Sabrina's concern that the art world is not in Genoa City. He'll help her build the art museum she's always wanted! Sabrina is overwhelmed. And now she has a plane to catch, and a kiss good-bye.

Telling Kyon to leave, neither she or Jeff see Wally slip past them. Watching the clothes come off, Wally doesn't appear to like it much. Meantime, Gloria is still trapped in the cellar.

Not the most exciting day in Genoa City, Jack is at the magazine when that noisy elevator rumbles and off steps a processor server. Michael is suing him for $2 million.

In Victor's office, Michael has the papers he wanted so that a foundation can be established, and he's working on something Victor wanted pertaining to Adam.

Adam's in the break room when Nick comes in to tell him to stay away from Phyllis. "She told you?" Adam inquires, adding that some women think every guy is looking at them. "Don't embarrass yourself. Stay away from my wife," Nick goes on, calling Adam "junior" and letting him know that he, Nick, doesn't miss the empire and that Adam can have it all for as much as he cares.

With Gloria still locked in the wine cellar, Jeff and Kyon are going at it in the living room as a disgusted-looking Wally observes. Wally also sees Gloria's coat and keys, so she must be there. But where?

Adam suggests that Nick is making mountains out of mole hills. He and Phyllis are just friends; business associates. Yeah, but do friends visit their homes unannounced?" Nick questions. Adam says it wasn't that way at all; he went to see Nick. The bottom line is that from now on anything Adam has to say about business can be discussed only with Nick at the office. "I had no idea you were this insecure," Adam sneers, as Nick leaves laughing.

Jack told Phyllis about the lawsuit and what he did. Phyllis understands; he did the right thing by breaking it off. Sharon arrives and in the process of telling her about the suit mentions that the homeowners policy may cover the damages. Sharon offers to make nice with Michael to make the suit go away, but Jack says no. He's tougher than that "little pit bull." If Michael wants to sue let him "bring it on!"

Michael's next stop was the coffee shop where he got a call that Jack has been served. Kevin and Jana learn of the suit too and the subject changes to Gloria whom Kevin says shouldn't be blamed for Lauren's fall. This leads to Michael giving Kevin a pop quiz on what he would do if Gloria comes to him again asking for help.

"Gloria! I'm here!" Wally calls outside the wine cellar. Can he pick a lock? Of course he can. He's got a penknife. A wiggle here, a wiggle there and the door springs open as do Wally's eyes when he sees all the booze. Oops, nobody thought to prop the door open and it closes again trapping both inside. Darn the luck, Wally says he left the knife outside too and doesn't have a cellphone. Informing Gloria as to what's happening in the living room, Wally says she deserves better and wants to know what Jeff is holding over her.

Leaving a message for Sabrina, wishing her a good trip to New York, Victoria looks up to see Nick. They talk briefly about Adam with Nick concluding that Adam wants what they have.

Phyllis is telling Jack that the lawsuit is insane when Adam calls to say he's sorry if he made her uncomfortable. "We're practically family" Phyllis says, adding there's no reason they can't work together. Alas, Adam says from now on he can only talk shop with Jack or Nick.

Michael doesn't want Gloria invited to the wedding. He wants to teach her a hard lesson. Jana is more sympathetic. If it weren't for Gloria she might not be alive.

Wally wants Gloria to enjoy their time together, but she wants out and they start jimmying the lock.

With Victor now, Victoria says she's happy to hear that daddy offered Sabrina a job and hopes she accepts. Then she whines that Victor took her off the BON project sticking her with acquisitions of which Adam is more qualified. Victor says his decision stands.

As Jack is telling Sharon that he's got to see his lawyer, Nick returns and Phyllis tells of having heard from Adam. Nick thinks it's weird. Phyllis wonders what's going on but can't say more as Jack calls them into a meeting.

Jana is talking about what Michael is doing to Gloria when the subject of Michael's father comes up. As far as he's concerned, father Baldwin is dead. He went to Louisiana looking for his family, found nothing, and that's the end of it. Adam pops in, introduces himself to Michael as Adam Wilson, Michael notes that he's really Victor Newman JR, and when Adam says genetically that's true, Michael cuts him short and leaves.

"They don't teach cosmetics at Harvard!" Victoria gripes. She knows nothing about acquisitions, so why have her run that department? Because she's a great negotiator, Victor says, making it clear again that his decision is final.

The wine cellar open, Gloria scurries out and finding Kyon in Jeff's arms screams at him, "You filthy pig!"

After their meeting, Sharon tells Jack she's got to pick Noah up. Little League starts tonight! Phyllis wants to know from Nick, did he talk to Adam?

Still taking about Gloria and the wedding, Kevin says there's a future out there for his family and for him and Jana. He wants their wedding day to be a happy one without "mamazilla" ruining it.

Gloria rips Jeff to shreds as he pleads innocence. When Jeff tells Wally to butt out, Wally says someone has to fight for Gloria's honor. Then Gloria throws Kyon and Jeff out. Before he's gone, Jeff warns that she knows what he'll do. She doesn't care. She'd rather go to prison. SLAM! Prison? Why would Gloria go to prison? She tells Wally it's nothing; just an expression.

Michael is at the AC with a client when Jack comes in and calls him a real appetite killer. He continues snipping away, saying Michael's case won't fly and that he offered to pay Lauren's medical expenses. Michael won't budge. He does say that Jack should look on the bright side; he'll be saving a bundle on property taxes.

Wally wants to be with Gloria, but she wants to be alone. Breakfast tomorrow then? No, and so Wally leaves. Meantime at the AC, Jeff is telling Kyon that she'll be on the first plane out of Genoa City tomorrow. She won't leave without money. Oops, wrong thing to say, and Jeff tells her as much.

On the phone with a potential client, Phyllis says he won't believe how much traffic the magazine's web site generates! Nick is impressed; she's some business woman. So hot, so talented. So much woman Adam wants her because he sees her as Nick's. It's true, and Phyllis says she can do business with Adam too. Maybe not. Nick says Adam can't be trusted.

In the break room, Victoria congratulates Adam for being awarded the BON project and he pretends not to know she's off the project.

Victor was surprised to see Sabrina walk into his office. "You're still here?" Unless she's a ghost, she is. She was at the airport, but she couldn't leave. She came back to accept Victor's offer which he says makes him very happy.

Gloria is looking around the mansion, having flashbacks of what happened, before congratulating herself on getting what she wanted. Meantime at the AC bar, Jeff is drowning his sorrows in booze.

Also at the AC, Nikki is telling Victoria that she's thinking about a wedding cake even though no date for the wedding has been set. The bottom line is that she and Victor are divorced and so Victoria better learn to accept it and move on.

In his office, Victor and Sabrina ramble on about why she didn't leave until they agree to take their chances and seal the deal with a kiss.

Back at the AC, Brad is commending Heather on her belly crunch technique as it would appear she worked out before sitting down to a big meal. For whatever reason, she blurts out that Brad should be proud to know her.

When Victoria whines that daddy took her off the BON project, and gave it to Adam, Nikki says how unfair that was of Victor.

On the phone telling someone to wait until the subprime mortgage crisis is over, when Victor is done Sabrina asks if he's sure about hiring her. There are more experienced art people than she. Victor's response is that when she gets to know him she'll understand how he makes business decisions and hiring her was just that. Has she told Victoria the good news? Sabrina says not yet; she's not sure how Victoria will respond.

The AC is buzzing with people including Colleen and the Professor. His book has been published and soon the whole country will be talking about it.

On the phone, Jack is telling someone that he needs some good news.

Jeff's phone is ringing too. It's Kyon who he tells to get on the next plane out of Genoa City and leave him alone.

Jana shows up at the mansion to tell Gloria that if she does something positive for Kevin he'll come around. At that moment, Michael is at the coffee shop complaining to Kevin that Jack interrupted him while he was with a client. The conversation switches to how long it's been since Kevin has seen Gloria with the conclusion that after one entire day their tough love plan is working.

Looking for Victoria, Sabrina runs into Adam and tells him that she's working for Victor. Not at NE, but somewhere in Genoa City.

Brad presumes that Heather wants to question him and so she asks where he was born. Brad won't say. "It's a long, boring story." Heather reminds Brad that she's a "trained investigator" and thus she knows that he's "intense" and "charming" because how else would he have got himself a job at Jabot. Speaking of which, she wants to know more about the company. Well, there is Nikki, only one of the great business women Brad knows. And what about David Chow? All Brad will say is that there's much to be suspicious about where David is concerned.

Jack is on the phone again telling someone to make the lawsuit go away. As he hangs up, Jeff offers to buy him a drink. Jack declines. Jeff doesn't understand the bad vibes. After all, "We're partners in crime so to speak."

Gloria found one of Kyon's earrings on the sofa as Jana went on about the wedding wanting Gloria to be part of it. She doesn't know when, or where the wedding will be, but she wants Gloria to stand up for her and Kevin.

Sharon slithers in and pins Michael down. Even if he won't drop the suit, he will listen to her! Michael goes over the highlights. Jack confessed. His action sent Lauren to the hospital. Lauren is on pain meds and she's anxious again which could lead to more panic attacks. In fact, Michael says Lauren "may never recover" and could be "scared for life".

Sharon appeals to Michael's "sense of decency". Jack grew up in that house. Can't Michael be happy that Gloria has the house now and leave well enough alone?

Kyon calls Jeff again, and this time he tells her to stay in her room unless she's inclined to open a window and take a swan dive.

Flash to Nikki on her phone. Where is David?

With Victor briefly, Adam says it must be nice having Sabrina walk into his life.

Finding Victoria at the AC, Sabrina tells her of taking Victor's offer. Victoria is elated. She suggests that if Sabrina needs a place to live J.T.'s old loft may still be available! That would be the loft J.T. once said the rent was $2,000 per month and which some suspect has since been converted into Restless Style Magazine headquarters. Or, Victoria says Sabrina could stay with her and J.T. and the baby at the outhouse. Sabrina doesn't need either of those choices. She'll be staying with Victor! Wowie! Victoria is thrilled to see that Victor has realized how "brilliant" Sabrina is.

Telling Jana that she's been a bride "five times", Gloria listens as Jana says she calls the shots as far as the wedding goes and that Jeff will be one lucky guy if Gloria lets him back into her life. According to Jana, Gloria is a "catch". Plus, she's an incredible business woman and so much more.

Thinking his conversation with Sharon was over, Michael listens as she calls him "cruel and vindictive" and says she thought they could "be grownups". But no. Michael has shown Sharon that he's just like his mother.

Coming into the AC, Paul can see there's something bothering Nikki. Does she want to talk about it? Well, there is a problem with David. He's a gambling man, and he's gone to Texas on a family matter. Or so he says. Nikki has her doubts. So does she want Paul to investigate? No. Spotting Heather with Brad, Paul goes over to ask Heather out to dinner. Brad is insulted. Can't Paul see Heather's with him? "He's my father," Heather blurts out.

Hauling Sabrina before Nikki, Victoria tells of the good news and wants to celebrate.

Saying he's got to get back to the office, before Michael can leave Kevin asks what's up with Sharon? Did Michael tell her "where to shove it?" The "Jackal" will soon learn not to mess with our family. Maybe not, because Michael's losing his spine. Sharon said he's just like Gloria. As Jana comes in, Michael leaves without saying a word to her. Jana wants to set a wedding date, but their schedule is so busy. There's the weekend in Chicago; the car show after that. Very busy.

The professor wants to know if Colleen told Brad about the book. She hasn't. He's leaving tonight to attend a book expo and during the two days he'll be away the professor suggests that Colleen read the book.

Nikki wonders where Sabrina will be staying. The AC hotel? Victoria says she'll be staying at the main house. Oh really? Yes, and having Sabrina in town is already making things much better for Victoria.

Returning to Newman Enterprises, Sabrina has something important to tell Victoria, but before they can find some privacy Adam appears to say, "You must be in hog heaven".

Saying again it's possible that her parents will get back together, Victoria wonders what Sabrina wants to tell her. Oh, nothing important.

Jana and Kevin pick a date, but don't say what it is. Jana did say that she's asked Gloria to stand up for them, however. Meanwhile, Gloria is talking to herself in a mirror. "You are fabulous". Placing a call to Jeff, when he doesn't answer, Gloria says she'll let him call her.

Catching up with Jack, Sharon asks what was so important that he couldn't tell her earlier? He bought them a house!

Flash to Nikki calling David again - no answer.

At home, Victor looks up from his computer as Sabrina enters the room. "She walks like beauty in the night. She inspires me," Victor mumbles as they speak French and he touches her face. Did she tell Victoria? No. She couldn't because Victoria is hoping that daddy and mommy will reconcile. Victor knew this, but she must be told the truth that he and Sabrina are involved. "Are we?" Sabrina asks. They are if that's what Victor wants, and he wants.
