Show #8936 - 07.14.08 - Director: Andy Lee

Time flies when you're having fun and thus it's another new day in Genoa City - or is it?. At the AC where they went to celebrate another issue of RSM hitting the street, Nick is complimenting Victoria on cleaning up so well. He owes her big time for saving the cover. Too bad Sabrina rained on their parade. As Phyllis interjects it was Sabrina who attacked her, Victoria says she's sorry. If anyone had told her six months ago that anything like that could have happened she wouldn't have believed it. Now, Victoria doesn't trust Sabrina especially since her old boyfriend came to town. Nick wonders if she means Sabrina cheated on Victor. "She's capable of anything," Victoria says, adding that she wants nothing to do with Sabrina anymore.

At the gallery, Sabrina is thanking for Professor for a good job on the article. He's an "excellent" writer. True, but the Professor says he couldn't have done it if she hadn't been so open with him. Plus, he's thinking that the article will be good PR for the charity gala. When Sabrina tells that she had a bad argument with Sabrina, he says not to worry. He's sure she and Victoria will work it out especially when people read the article they'll know what a kind and compassionate person Sabrina is.

At home on the phone, Jack is telling someone that only the content of the article was changed.

Also at the AC, Katherine is informing Jill that she's hired a director of organic operations. Jill is incensed; Katherine went behind her back - again. Well, someone had to do Jill's job what with her obsessing over Jeff, who Katherine says, has been using Jill. In any event, Jill doesn't like Katherine micro-managing.

Jack was surprised when he found Gloria and company in his house. Gloria wants to use the dining room to throw a welcome home party for Kevin. Jack is opposed, but when Gloria sweet talks him, he gives in just this one time. When Jana and Kevin arrive, Gloria flashes her wedding ring and Kevin says he's going to be sick. There too, Michael says the mayhem has just begun.

In her penthouse, Amber is flashing back to Daniel walking out on her when he walks in. In a frenzy, Amber says she was worried; she tried calling; where was he? She made a mistake, she's sorry, can't he get over it? He can't. He wants to know who she slept with, and laughs when she says it was the Professor. Then Daniel says he emailed her every day. She notes that she didn't get any email and thought he was cheating on her. What's done is done. Can't he forgive her? He can't no matter how much she begs. Saying he'll be back to get his stuff, Daniel storms off leaving Amber to bawl some more.

At home, Brad finds a compact on the floor. He calls Skye and leaves a message. He's got her compact which will give her an excuse to come back to Genoa City. During the interim, since she's a Harvard Business School grad, he's got a job offer for her at Jabot where Brad says David will soon be out, and he, Brad will be calling the shots.

Jill complains that Katherine doesn't have any confidence in her. Katherine says someone had to pick up the slack, so that's why she went behind Jill's back. But Jill says Katherine knows why she's been preoccupied. Jeff told her that Gloria has done something before and she's got to find out what it is. Katherine's not having any of it. She tells Jill one more time to stop obsessing and do her job.

Now that they're all family and her marriage is real, Gloria tells the group, "We have a plan," which Michael says are four scary words. Jeff adds that they need Michael's help to buy Jabot stock - secretly.

Arriving at Brad's home, Jill says she's got a proposition for him.

Now at the AC, Jack informs the Professor that he's got another assignment for him. He wants an article on aborigine art and that the Professor must leave tonight for the Australian Outback where he's to meet with an expert on the topic. Jack says only the Professor can write the article, and while he's flattered, the Professor wants time to think about it.

Katherine shows up at the penthouse providing a shoulder for Amber to cry on.

Arriving at the magazine, Daniel sits down at Amber's desk and sees the problem just as Nick and Phyllis arrive. "What are you doing here?" Phyllis asked. Daniel's response was that he wanted to see how far Phyllis would go to mess up his life. Jack blows in to say Sharon is meeting with a designer, and notices Daniel doesn't seem himself, but gets distracted when Sabrina arrives to offer an apology for "yesterday." Phyllis told her to tell it to Victoria which Sabrina said is exactly what she plans to do.

Amber will do whatever it takes to get Daniel back. Katherine says if he really loves her, he'll come back his own as Amber blames everything on Phyllis. Wrong. Katherine scolded Amber for lying and generally said she made her bed, lay in it.

Phyllis blocked Amber's email! Phyllis says, yeah, she did. Daniel wouldn't listen to her; he's making a mistake; Amber will bring him down. Daniel doesn't want to hear it. "Stay out of my life!"

Jill's proposition is top secret. She wants Brad to help her oust Katherine from the company.

Nick's getting bad news. Magazine sales aren't going well. Jack confirms that RSM spends more money than it takes in. At the same time Phyllis and Daniel are pulling their fangs out of each other, Amber comes in to see the tail end, thanks Daniel for what he told Phyllis, but it's of no help to her as Daniel says nothing has changed.

With Jana at the gallery, Victoria arrives, then Katherine who can feel the bad vibes and instructs the girls to put their differences aside.

According to Michael, there are plenty of companies in Genoa City willing to create a dummy company for Gloria's plan. But she and Jeff want him to handle it. It needs to be secret so that Jabot won't catch on and put a stop to it. Okay, Michael will do it - for a price. He wants the tainted skin cream. Is Jeff willing to hand it over? "I'm one of you now," says Jeff, as he agrees. The cream is in the AC safe. He'll go get it. Michael says he'll destroy it when he's got it.

Sabrina and Victoria argue over color schemes which it's said one of the choices is the same as last year and the year before that.

Jack is worried about the magazine. It's not a workable business. Lost sales and low advertising rates do not a successful magazine make. Nick doesn't like the implication that they're running a rich man's hobby. The legacy he'll leave his children depend on RSM; he's got to get our from under Victor's shadow. Ah, but Jack says difficult days are ahead.

The girls still arguing, Katherine steps in. They've got to find a way to work together! Sabrina and Victoria agree to call a truce, but when Sabrina says a walk through of the Colonnade Room with the manger is scheduled for today, Victoria says it'll have to be changed because she's got to take the baby to the doctor. Fed up, Katherine leaves.

Brad likes whatever Jill told him of her plot, although he's concerned that the power play against Katherine will be dangerous. Jill says it won't fail, and that once they win Brad will be running Jabot.

Happy that things are going so well, Gloria crows that she'll have her revenge against Jill. How dare Jill treat her like garbage? Jeff returns. Bad news. The cream is gone!

Jack is sorry if he brought Nick and Phyllis down. Nick is beginning to wonder if Jack wants the magazine to succeed. Jack does, but it means taking drastic measures. Can Nick handle that? Nick says so long as there's nothing criminal involved, he can.

Amber wants Daniel to talk. There's nothing to talk about. In comes the Professor. He says hello to Daniel. The tension can be cut with a knife.

Show #8937 - 07.15.08 - Director: Susan Strickler

It's one of those can we go along to get along days as Jack informs Nick about wanting the Professor to go to Australia. It's news to Nick, but he goes along as at the magazine Amber urges the Professor not to say anything to Daniel.

At the Abbott mansion, Michael reminds Jeff that without the skin cream there's no deal. Gloria thinks that Jeff doesn't want to hand the cream over because he still wants to control her. Jeff says that's not so. He really doesn't have the cream. The last he knew the cream was in the AC safe.

With David at the AC, Nikki has a way for him to prove himself. She believes in him and thus wants him to meet with her and Nick to discuss having Jabot co-sponsor the charity gala. Meanwhile, Sabrina is reporting to Victoria that she did the Colonnade Room walkthrough without her.

Taking her idea up a notch, Nikki wants David to be in charge of fundraising for the gala. It would be the perfect opportunity for him to get exposure and show everyone why she believes in him. David thinks she's nuts, but agrees to meet with Nick.

With Victoria grumbling that she didn't know what Sabrina did, Sabrina says she tried calling. Oh darn, Victoria had her phone off while she was at the doctor's office with the baby. At any rate, Sabrina wants to know if they can't just stop the fussing, but Victoria is still upset because Sabrina went behind her back.

Gloria thinks Wally took the cream! He knew how to "pick locks". Or, Gloria says, it could have been Jill who bribed someone at the AC to open the safe. Jeff thinks his Korean girlfriend took the cream when she went to get some jewels her gave her out of the safe. To get the cream back, Jeff says he'll go to Korea. "Over my dead body!" says Gloria.

Happy to hear that the third issue of RSM has shipped, Jack isn't so happy to hear that the Professor can't leave tonight. Meantime near the elevator, Amber is telling Daniel not to let the Professor get to him, but Daniel confronts him anyway. "So how was it for you? You slept with my girlfriend!" The Professor's reply is that they were drunk. He and Amber were old friends having one for the road so to speak. It was a mistake, and the Professor hopes that Daniel can move past it because Amber loves Daniel.

With the Professor gone, Daniel reminds Amber that he could have fooled around too. But he didn't. And as he leaves Amber breaks down bawling as Nick comes over to suggest she take the rest of the day off - and she does.

To appease Victoria, Sabrina says she's agreed to change the gala color scheme and the entire gala will have a more conservative theme which is what Victoria wants.

The big question remains: Who will go to Korea and who will not as Gloria's thinking she'll go.

Meeting with Nick at the AC, Nikki learns that he'll go along with the idea of having RSM and Jabot co-sponsor the gala so long as David isn't involved. Of course, this isn't want Nikki wants. She wants Nick to give David another chance.

As Gloria packs, Jeff says that his ex-girlfriend won't easily turn over the cream.

Talking about the good old says they shared, Victoria and Sabrina agree to put their difference aside for the gala's sake.

On his phone, David is telling Walter that the "job" will have to wait as he runs into Jack.

David isn't walking all over her; he's not, as Nick said, a loser. Nikki says she's doing this because it's what people who love each other do. Nick says she's in denial, but then hints he might be willing to let David prove himself.

Jack thinks co-sponsoring the gala is a good idea, but he's got reservations because David is on the project and doesn't want to work with him ever again after what David did to his political career. But when David says, "I'm the man for the job," Jack backs off a bit albeit nearly convinced that Victoria would never agree. David continues the full-court press. His being nice, looking for another chance, is part of his 12-step program. Haven't people given Jack second chances before?

At the coffee shop, Daniel is having a musical flashback to better times with Amber when Kevin comes over and seeing that Daniel doesn't look like himself asks if he wants to talk about it. Daniel says he doesn't, but he does anyway whining that Amber slept with the Professor. Kevin is shocked; Amber? Couldn't happen. She's crazy about Daniel. Okay then, would Kevin cut Jana some slack if she slept with another man? Why yes, he would.

At the penthouse Amber is bawling when the Professor arrives. He can't understand why she told Daniel because nobody had to know. Was she felling guilty? So how's she feeling now? He also tells of being asked to go to Australia, and that he declined. That's when Amber said that he must go. Do it for her.

As if there was any doubt, Victoria and Sabrina have agreed to go along to get along.

Nick can't understand why Nikki is willing to wait so long for David when if it was anyone else keeping her waiting she'd throw a major fit. That she's waiting only proves that David can control her. That did it. Nikki hissed how dare he talk to his mother like that? He better stick to publishing because he's a lousy psychologist. Just then David appears with Jack, who learns from Nick that so long as Jack is cool to David's being onboard, Nick is too. Now all they have to do is run it past Phyllis and Sharon. With Jack and Nick gone, Nikki apologies to David for having doubted him. David thanks her for having faith in him.

Gloria has changed her mind. Jeff can go to Korea alone. Michael doesn't believe her, but when Gloria is out of earshot, Jeff tells Michael that she wouldn't have been able to go anywhere because he hid her passport.

The Professor says he can't leave, but when Amber keeps whining that he'll keep running into Daniel if he stays, and that she's madly in love with Daniel, the Professor says he'll leave. Besides, it'll give him a chance to get away from Colleen. As fate would have it, when Amber gave the Professor a hug, Daniel was there to see it.

Jeff is booked on the next flight to Korea. Gloria wants him to promise he won't have sex with that woman. He says he won't. He'll hurry back to his "spitfire princess" and he won't hold the skin cream threat over her head no matter what.

Meeting with Nikki and David at Jabot, Victoria, Jack and Nick like her idea. Jack says that Sharon and Phyllis are onboard too, but there's a snag - David. David makes his plea and Nick gives his okay so long as there's a safeguard in place so that David can't have access to the money. Just then Jack gets a call from the Professor who says he's on his way to the Outback.

With bag in hand, Daniel complains of having found Amber with the Professor again. She pleads, she cries, but to no avail as Daniel gives her his key and slams out leaving Amber to slide down the door in bawling fit agony.

Show #8938 - 07.16.08 - Director: Andy Lee

We know it's a new day in Genoa City because out at the ranch Victor is telling Sabrina that he just got back from taking a walk and watching the sun rise. He also wants her to remind him to call Abby because her horse is pregnant, and that he's got to write a check because Newman Enterprises is donating to the charity gala. The phone ringing, Victor answers. Yes, he liked the article. Yes, Sabrina introduced him to modern art and that's why he built the art gallery. After telling Sabrina that the caller thought that he'd be critical of the article, Victor orders one of his people to go to the store and bring back a copy of the magazine.

At Restless Style, Phyllis is worried about sales and Nick is worried about the article although he doesn't yet know changes where made to it. If things for the magazine go south, Nick says they'll be in big trouble because he can't borrow against his trust fund again.

Home with Sharon, Jack suggests they take the day off until Sharon reminds him that they're expected at the gala luncheon. Okay, Jack says he probably should go to that and then has a flashback to hacking the Professor's article.

With Nikki at the AC, Katherine is surprised to learn that David is in charge of fund raising. Nikki assures her that David is good at what he does, and that his personal issues won't be a problem. As for how Sabrina could have signed off on working with Victoria after what happened, Katherine can't quite grasp that as David walks in with a copy of RSM.

Now that his wife is a "celebrity", J.T. wants Victoria and the baby to go with him for a day at the lake. Sorry, Victoria says she's got the luncheon.

With a copy of the magazine now, Victor and Sabrina read the article. Yikes!

Sharon reports to Jack that Noah has sent postcards from Summer Camp. He needs bigger "sneakers" and for them to bring him a pair on Parent's Day. So, has Jack any idea about magazine sales? Not yet. Sharon's got big ideas for the next issue, but Jack isn't so sure there will be a next issue because Nick isn't prepared to do what it takes to make the magazine a success. Nick doesn't know how to gain attention; create controversy. If only Jack had free reign he'd show them. As for Sharon's question will he buy Nick out, Jack says that would never happen. But he seems to know that the new issue is bound to be shocking.

At the coffee shop, Jana, Kevin, Colleen and Daniel are discussing the magazine article too. Daniel isn't surprised. The Professor can't be trusted.

After David reads from the article, Katherine says there are going to be some serious ramifications. Meantime, J.T. is reading from the article too and then Victoria takes her turn after which J.T. says Victor will be pissed, and Victoria adds that Sabrina won't dare show her face.

Reading the article aloud too, Victor notes the part where it says there's a "rift in the Newman family" and a crying now Sabrina swears none of it is true. Why would the Professor write such a thing? It's not like the Professor. Victor surmises Jack is responsible. But what gives Victor utter disappointment is that his two kids were involved.

Subsequent to both Phyllis and Nick fielding phone calls, Nick reports that the numbers are "insane" and there are raves about the controversial article.

Daniel presumes that the Professor did a "hatchet job" on Sabrina to make her look like a gold-digger. Colleen's not so sure; it's not something the Professor would write. There now too, Brad adds that the Professor "juiced" the article up and reminds Colleen that the Professor turned on her. Oh, yeah. "I guess he's capable of just about anything," says Colleen.

After reviewing the article, Nick tells Phyllis it's not the article they approved. Victoria is quoted extensively throughout it. Phyllis is taken aback. It's not something Victoria would do. So who did it? Nick says he'll find out.

The phone ringing, Jack lets calls go to voicemail as Sharon suspects he's hiding something. Jack says he's only trying to buy time until sale figures come in. If sales aren't good it'll be the end of RSM. In an effort to prevent that, he made a few changes to the article.

With J.T. and Victoria now, Nikki asks if what's in the article is true. She's concerned because gala supporters might back out.

When Katherine showed up at the ranch, Sabrina assumed it was to ask for her resignation as co-chair. Not so, Katherine said she figured the article wasn't true and not for Sabrina to worry her pretty little head. In fact, Katherine wants her to hold it high. She is Victor Newman's young wife and people are just jealous. Ah, but Sabrina can't do it. She's not strong. A phone call for Katherine, she tells a reporter that the article is not worth the paper it's written on. Then it's back to convincing Sabrina to hold her head high subsequent to Sabrina saying she doesn't want to see Victoria ever again for the rest of her life. She, Victoria, is a hypocrite; a backstabbing bitch.

Unable to reach the Professor, Nick tells Phyllis that he had him paged at the airport when Victor stomps in. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?" Nick doesn't know what happened. Victor demands a retraction and reminds Nick that he warned him about Jack. Nick better damn well fix this. "You got that?"

Jana can't understand why the Professor would do it. Colleen says it's because he didn't get tenure at the university, but then, maybe he didn't write it. Not what Daniel wanted to hear, he sneers "why am I not surprised" when Colleen flip-flops.

Katherine isn't done with Sabrina. She tells of the time when Jill hired Rex Sterling to seduce her. Boy, how the tongues wagged, but Katherine held her head high. Ah, but Sabrina doesn't know if she has it in her; everyone is against her.

When Phyllis asked Amber what the Professor told her about the article, Amber denied knowing anything when Nick came over to say it was Jack who changed the article.

So what if the article isn't true? It sells magazines, Jack informs Sharon, who can't believe that he lied to her again. But Jack says he was only trying to protect her. Plus, he saved "hundreds" of people their jobs. Be that as it may, Sharon isn't happy. Jack has made her look like an idiot.

Nick can't reach Jack so he's off to track him down. He'll meet Phyllis at the luncheon later. Alone with Daniel, Phyllis asked if she's being too hard on Amber. Oh, and she has some of his mail including a "jury summons" which she'll drop off at his place later. Unless, he didn't move out - did he? Daniel won't say. He wants to keep any conversation they have work related. Well, if it's uncomfortable for Daniel having Amber at the office... "Fire her and I'll never speak to you again," Daniel spat, noting that when he was away Danny treated him like an adult.

Back at the AC, Katherine wants to know from Victoria if it was Nick's intent to rip Sabrina. Victoria claims to be just as surprised as Katherine is as David and Nikki come in. David wants to make an appointment to discuss fund raising with Katherine, she says how about now, but he wants to do it later.

Now Victor is trying to convince Sabrina to show people what she's made of. Hold her head high. Go to the luncheon. Sabrina doesn't want to go; she's not strong.

When Jana says she hopes that Amber and Daniel will kiss and make up, Kevin instructs her to stay out of it. Meantime, Amber is thanking Daniel for sticking up for her with Phyllis. Sadly, when Daniel says it doesn't change anything, Amber starts bawling again.

Inserting himself into the luncheon meeting where Nikki, Victoria, Katherine, Sharon and Phyllis have gathered, Brad says he's doesn't believe a word of the article as Phyllis asks Sharon if she knew about the article. Sharon said she didn't know beforehand as a smiling Sabrina walks in with Victor as backup.

On the phone, Jack is learning that sales have doubled on the East Coast and could sell out. Hanging up, there's someone at the door. It's Nick!

Show #8939 - 07.17.08 - Director: Dean LaMont

In the magazine elevator going up, Amber makes note of all the reporters gathered outside the building and wonders if Daniel can believe what Jack did. Getting off the elevator, the phones are ringing and she starts fielding calls from reporters and readers.

The charity ball luncheon still in progress, Victor pulls Sharon and Phyllis aside to say that once he's through with their magazine there will be nothing left of it. And oh yeah, Jack is a slime.

At home, Jack welcomes Nick who rips into him about "crossing the line", that he's sick of it, and wants Jack out of RSM.

With Lily at the coffee shop, Colleen whines about what Chloe did and when Chloe comes in says she's not welcome there and for Chloe to get out; leave town. Too bad, Chloe says she's staying in Genoa City forever.

Meanwhile, Jana wonders if Kevin believes what was written in the article and how could the Professor have done it? The same way he had sex with Amber, Kevin sneers. Jana is stunned. The Professor and Amber? Really? Colleen overheard the sex part as Paul and J.T. walk in to discuss David. Anything new? Paul says no as he sees David and goes over to learn that David is there to meet with his sponsor. Paul wants to know how step-daughter Nina is doing. How would David know? He's hasn't spoken with Nina in years. That's news to Paul. He was under the impression that David recently spoke with Nina. Oh, that's right. David says he tried calling Nina. It was part of his 12-step program to make amends. He left a message, but Nina never called back. Then David wouldn't know that Nina was found dead of an overdose. No, he wouldn't. David is shocked, and he asks Paul to relay his condolences to the family. Reporting back to J.T., Paul says that Nina's date book tells a different story. David is lying.

As Lily and Colleen and now Cane talk about Amber and Daniel, Kevin is on his computer when Jana says there's something strange in the air requiring a consult with the Ouija board.

Katherine is proud of Sabrina. Most people would be hiding out, but not Sabrina, who says she's trying to stay composed for the sake of her baby and the gala.

With Victor on her back, Victoria claims she had no idea what Jack was going to do, and she's not so sure it was a hack job. But she did try to warn Victor. When Nikki butts in, Victor tells her to take a look at the loser she's married to before judging others.

Nick wants to buy Jack out. Jack laughed. With what? Nick doesn't have any money, and he's no different than Victor trying to pass himself off as all high and morally righteous. Besides, hasn't Nick seen the numbers? Sales are up because Jack was willing to do the dirty work. Nick needs to stop feeling sorry for his step-mommy.

Amber needs Daniel's help. There are so many calls about the article. What should she say? Daniel told her to say no like she should have told the Professor. Just then Colleen storms in to ask if Amber doesn't get tired of being a slut. When Colleen adds that she knows about Amber and the Professor, Amber says she didn't do anything the Professor didn't want to do. Fuming now, Colleen calls Amber "selfish trash" and they get into a mini-cat fight which Daniel had to break up.

Jack wants Nick to let it go. Sabrina is a Newman now. She should expect scandal. Nick fires back that Jack wanted to start a war between the Newmans. That's why Jack went along with Victoria on the cover. Jack better beware; this is far from over.

Stopping to chat with Katherine, when she says that David will treat Sabrina well, that David is the charity money man, Victor can't believe his ears. He confronts Nikki. What the hell is she thinking? Doesn't she want to avoid the fate of David's dead step-daughter? Nikki doesn't care what Victor thinks and as he walks away Victor orders his driver to pick him up. He's going to the Abbott mansion.

Sitting in the elevator with Daniel, Colleen whines that the Professor turned on her and isn't much better than that skank, Amber. Daniel didn't like that word. Please don't call Amber a skank. Meanwhile, Chloe has arrived and Amber is showing her around. Wouldn't Chloe like working here? She would.

As Cane and Lily chit-chat, Jana whips out the Ouija board. Will Amber and Daniel hookup again? Will the universe send them a message?

J.T. and Paul talk about tracing David's phone calls but they don't have anything "concrete" on him. J.T. nevertheless thinks that Nikki could be in danger, and Paul says not if he can help it.

After giving Sharon grief for what Jack did, Phyllis said she's putting the original Sabrina article on RSM's website, while at home Jack isn't surprised to see Victor who warns that he will tie Jack up in court so long he'll lose millions. And don't forget who holds the lease on the RSM building. Jack laughs, so he'll find another building. As a "journalist" Jack says he had a responsibility to print the truth. Now it's Victor's turn to laugh. Jack? A journalist? His father would be ashamed. Jack response is that Victor didn't know his father. Victor fires back that he knew enough. Old man Abbott was the honorable man Jack will never be. Okay, Jack's heard enough. "Get out!"

Amber and Chloe realize they have a lot in common. Amber was married to Cane, Chloe slept with Cane, they must compare notes some time.

Kevin thinks Jana cheated at Ouija. To determine if the board is telling the truth they'll ask a new question: Will Lily and Cane find eternal happiness? What is that? Why is the pointer moving toward the word 'goodbye'?

Paul reports to J.T. in super sleuth language that he has a "shadow" on Nikki. In other words, he's having her followed. And after hearing David talking to someone on the phone, Paul follows him out.

Having seen the confrontation between Nikki and Victor, Sabrina went over to tell Nikki she's sorry if she's caused a rift only to be told that not everything that goes on between Nikki and Victor is about her. All Sabrina seems to know is that Victor cares about his family - and Nikki - and that Nikki should listen to what Victor has to say.

The Ouija board is apparently predicating a tragedy and Jana is freaked. Kevin says it's just a stinking piece of wood and for Jana to stop asking for trouble.

After the $4 tour, Amber introduces Chloe to the RSM crew. Chloe is leaving Jabot, and if they're smart, Jack, et al, should hire her. And hire her they do.

After checking to see if David has been tapping into her bank accounts, (he isn't) Nikki greets David with open arms - and an envelope. She bought them a brand new house! Nikki knows the truth about David and doesn't care what other people are saying, or apparently that Paul is eavesdropping so that when Victor returns he can tell, which he does.

With Sabrina now at the ranch, Katherine is oozing with respect. Sabrina can see now why Victor considers Katherine such a dear friend.

As Daniel writes his phone number on Colleen's hand, Nick reports that the latest issue of RSM has sold out in all major markets. Plus there's more good news as Victoria reports that the CBS Early Show wants to interview her! Nick also told Phyllis that he's going to find a way to get rid of Jack as Jack was telling Sharon that soon he'll be running the RSM show all by himself.

Show #8940 - 07.18.08 - Director: Andy Lee

At RSM the phones are ringing and people are talking on them as Nick grumbles about the Newman War scandal that Jack created. Phyllis complains that the website may crash because it's getting too many hits from people interested in the Sabrina article. Jack boasts that the new issue is selling out, that more must be printed, but Nick isn't so quick to order more.

Out at that ranch, Sabrina is trying to write a letter to Victoria. Victor wonders if it's in response to the article. Of course, it is and Sabrina frets. She can't understand why Victoria would say such horrible things about her. Reading the letter, Victor mumbles about contacting some real journalists in order to straighten things out. Sabrina asks if this is the way it's going to be for their family. Yes, Victor says it is.

With Nikki at Jabot, David says he thought the home she bought was going to be a small one; not a multi-million dollar estate. Ah, Nikki says he's worth it; the estate is an investment in their future.

At the coffee shop, Paul informs J.T. that he got a letter from David's ex-step-daughter written on the day she died.

Over at Indigo, Neil is telling Karen that he's got to check with Tyra because the coming weekend will be Tyra's first as manager. Tyra says she's got things under control, and so Neil reports this to Karen adding that Tyra also organized his pantry at home and now he can find the soup! Playing her part as Neil's yes-woman, Karen's happy too with the obviously "competent" Tyra as Neil adds that now he can spend more time with Karen.

Jack isn't getting why Nick isn't happy. If Nick likes, Jack will buy him out. "You wish!" Nick snorts. Meantime, Sharon and Phyllis are arguing when Victoria appears to charge Jack with taking her words out of context. Well, they were her words, says Jack.

Victor wants damage control put in place immediately. Maybe he and Sabrina could announce something happy, like their baby. If Sabrina doesn't want that, and she doesn't, Victor will order the jet readied and they'll fly away. Can't do that either, Sabrina's got a meeting with Jana. Besides, Sabrina says she doesn't care what people think about her.

After looking at the magazine, Victor calls Michael. Has he read the article? Sort of, Lauren read him excerpts. Victor then orders Michael to slap the magazine with a law suit. Michael will be right over. With Adam there now reporting that he's in the process of having all Newman ads pulled from RSM, he mentions of being unable to reach the Professor. "Once I get a hold of that pipsqueak there will be nothing left of him," Victor tells Adam in addition to his contention that by the end of the day there will be nothing left of RSM. One more thing, Victor wants Adam to call everyone with ads running in the magazine and have them pull their ads too.

When Sabrina arrived at the coffee shop, Jana was surprised to see she showed up, but good for her for holding her head high.
