Victor; What brings you down here old man?

Murphy: I’m here to tell you, man to man, to leave Kay alone. Leave her out this plan of yours. You have caused so much harm and heartache in this town that I refuse to let you take Kay down with you. You see Victor I’ve been watching you since I’ve been in town. I don’t like some of the things you and sometimes it’s hard to understand what you are saying, and doing and I kept quiet about it. The only thing I know is you get angry a lot and yell and people around here bend to your will. But now the woman I love is getting mixed up in your devious plan and that’s when I got to draw the line. I’m not to a yes man. I fought in Korea and Vietnam damn it!

Victor laughs: You got to be kidding me right? Is this a joke or what?

Murphy: No sir. Not at all. I am telling you to leave Katherine out of this mess. She is too old to be running Newman and Chancellor. It’s a lot on her you know. If you were really her friend as you say you are you would see that and take some of this pressure off of her. I’m very worried about her.

Victor: As you should be. But let me tell you something. I admire you coming all the way down here and expressing what’s on your mind old man. But I have to tell you. Katherine and I have been friends a very long time my boy. And nothing will change that. Friends are there for each other when they are in need and that’s what my friend Katherine is doing. Kay knows very well what I need of her and she also knows that if she can’t handle it she will tell me so. I also know my dear friend and if I didn’t think she couldn’t handle it then I wouldn’t have asked. My dear boy, Katherine is a very strong character. It seems you are the one who doesn’t know her very well.

Murphy: Victor, I’m warning you, if you don’t ask Kay to stop this madness, I will take matters into my own hands.

Victor: is that so? I don’t take too kindly to be threaten. You say you’ve been watching me then you should also know I am not to be messed with I also always get my way. I am the great Victor Newman.

Murphy: All that huffing and puffing you doing may scare the others but it doesn’t work against me. I’m not afraid of you Victor Newman.

Victor, smiling: I’m warning you Murphy, you’re asking for it. Get the hell out of here before I get really angry. You’re not ready for me old man. I will crush you. Now get the hell out of here fellow and get back to your fishing job or whatever in the hell that it is you do.!” Murphy leaves.

At Devon’s. Roxanne tells Devon that she thinks Abby is the one who told Harmoni that he gave Kay and Tucker a second chance.

She told you I was going to ask you to marry me?” Roxanne” Were you?” She says with a tear in her eye. Devon” Actually I was.” Roxanne is mad. “Damn Abby. I’m going to get her for this. I had to find out from her that you were going to ask me to marry you.” Devon spins her around and holds her. He then gets down one bended knee and pulls out a velvet box. He opens it to showcase a 14 qt diamond ring. He looks into her eyes. “Roxanne Parker, will you do me the honor in being my wife?” Roxanne is overwhelmed. She tells him NO!

That new direction includes the removal of all Newman’s including Victoria, Nick and Nikki. Kay this turmoil must stop and that it has caused serious damage to Newman’s reputation and prestige world wide. Kay also points out the Nikki is now a board member but she has no experience at all. She says that is not the way to run a conglomerate. Nikki and Lauren are both stunned. Kay goes on to say” So I motion to remove the Newman’s from Newman it self. Also in my first act of CEO I want to include in this motion with the removal of the Newman’s that Jill Fenmore be a more qualified replacement for Nikki. So it’s either my motion or Nikki’s let’s put this to a vote.” Everyone looks at each other as the members are anxious to find out what the out come is.

Kay: If you support Nikki’s motion show your support with a raising of your hand.” The room is silent as Nick and Nikki are the only two to raise their hands. They both look at Lauren in shock.

Kay: Support in my motion, let’s see your hands.” The room is silent again as everyone looks around. Lauren, Kay, and the three other board members raise their hands.

Kay: Ok the votes are in. Nick and Nikki, please leave Newman at once! Kay looks at Jill and tells her welcome to Newman. Nikki and Nick as shocked!

Abby: What the hell? “ She says as she turns around.

“What is your problem?”

Roxanne slaps Abby across the face. Eden hands Abby her coffee. She then rubs her cheek.

Abby: Have you lost your mind? You hit me!”

Roxanne: That’s what happens when you mess with me. It’s only a taste Abby.

Abby: What in the hell are you talking about Roxxy?

Roxanne slaps Abby again. “ It’s Roxanne to you.”

Abby: I am a Newman and an Abbott. I can and will make you life a living hell if you hit me again. Could you please act sane and tell me what is this all about?”

Roxanne: I know it was you who brought good old Harmoni to town to stop my trip with Devon.”

Abby: So you didn’t go on your trip with Devon? So that means he didn’t propose to you?”

Roxanne: Devon was going to propose to me? Oh my God. I don’t believe this.”

Abby has a slight smile on her face then she takes a sip of her coffee.

Roxanne: I know you are behind this. I swear to God Abby I am going to get you back. I am going to prove to Devon that you are behind this. I’m going to teach you a lesson.

Abby: Prove it Roxxy!”

Roxanne chuckles. “You think it’s a game. You’re disrespectful. Devon is mine so just get over it. Or get it on with Nate. Because you will never have Devon. “

Abby: Seems to me I got a good head start. Tootles Roxxy!” Abby then walks away.

Roxanne: This isn’t over bitch!
