JT's back in Genoa City and has some parting words for Colleen

Brad can't believe that Victor and the rest of the Newman family want him to step down from the Newman board position. Staring at Victoria, he asks her if she truly wants it to be this way between them. Before she can answer, Nick tells Brad that his free ride on the Newman train is over. Breaking up the heated exchange, Victor bellows that Brad either step down from his board seat or experience a fight he will never be able to recover from.

Unlocking the door to the loft, JT Helstrom steps inside. Dropping his bags, he heads for the telephone to check to see if there were any messages on his answering machine; there are none. As he looks around the loft, he notices a few of Colleen's things still there. Rolling his eyes, he goes to his closet and grabs an empty box. The sooner she's out of his life, the better, he thought.

Lily is brooding at home when Devon walks in. Not bothering to look up, she asks him if he is having fun with his new friend, Amber. Tossing the keys on the table, Devon sits next to her and tells her that she needs to forget about Amber and focus on getting her relationship with Daniel on track. Scoffing a little, Lily tells Devon that as long as she looks 'plain and ordinary', Daniel will never give her the much needed attention as he does his porn ladies. Devon, taking Lily's hand pulls her up on her feet and instructs her to get dressed. They have somewhere to go.

Kevin stops by Michael's to see how Gloria is holding up. Looking around, he notices that Lauren in fact held true to her word in leaving Michael. When Michael comes out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee, Kevin asks him what their game plan is. Gloria tells them both that she will not implicate them. She will never say a word as to who helped her. Michael tells her that it won't be all that easy in preventing the truth from coming out.

OPENING SEGMENT

Throwing Colleen's belongings in the box, JT thinks back to how happy they once were. Running a hand through his hair, he thinks back to how his jealousy towards her relationship with the professor nearly cost him his job and his reputation. Flipping open his cell phone, he dials Colleen's number. When she answers, he tells her that he's back in Genoa City and that he wants to see her. Shoving the phone back in his pocket, he grabs the box and keys and walks out the door.

Lily asks Devon where they are going and why she needs to be dressed up. Devon dismisses her questions and tells her to just go with him, it will most definitely put her spirits in a positive setting. Rolling her eyes, Lily pulls out her compact to check her make-up. She agrees with Devon that getting out of the house may be the one thing to help her get her mind off of Daniel. Hugging his sister, Devon tells her that she will definitely have a wonderful time.

Not being in the mood to be bullied, Brad warns Victor that he will not under any circumstances step down from the Board of Director's position. He worked hard to get it and he's not going to give it up just because of Victor's displeasure of his marital problems with Victoria. Nikki laughs at Brad, and tells him that the only thing he worked hard at was lying and conniving to get to where he was; that has always been his ammo to get what he wants. Victoria tells Brad that if he had any care for her at all, he'll take much needed advice and step down. Brad tells them they can all go to hell.

Kevin asks Michael how it can be possible for them to be put on the hot seat with Gloria. Michael tells Kevin that the minute he found out about the skin cream being tainted, instead of presenting it to someone, they all decided to cover it up. He also points out that he could lose his license if it were discovered that he represented Jack, while fully knowing that Jack were innocent of all wrong doings. Kevin fears that Gloria will become too emotional and mistakenly blurt out the truth of their involvement. Gloria swears that she would do anything to protect them; which includes lying. Michael warns Gloria that it was lying that got them into the mess they are in now.

At the Abbott mansion, Colleen is curled up with a book when the doorbell rings. Placing the book on the couch, she walks to the door and opens it to see JT. She steps aside to let him in. JT places the box of her belongings on the floor and tells her that he is sure that she will want her things out of the loft. Colleen remarks that JT looks good, and is glad that he is back. Waving a hand at her comment, JT tells her to save the lies. She was more than happy to see him having to leave Genoa City.

When Lily and Devon step inside the building, she is in awe at how many people are there. She turns to ask him where they are. Devon explains that he was invited to attend a music producer seminar and he wanted her to attend with him. Lily is all smiles when he explains that his hopes is to learn as much as he can. She tells Devon that their parents would be so proud of him at what he wants to accomplish. The two of them take their seats, awaiting the beginning of the seminar.

Not pleased at Brad's refusal to step down and leave Newman, Victor tells Brad that every man has a price, and it would be best if Brad wised up and name his. Nikki tells Brad that he's a fool to want to stay in a family empire where he is definitely not wanted. Looking over at Victoria, Brad asks her if she wants him to leave. When she doesn't say anything, Brad realizes that he's being backed up against the wall. He then asks Victor what he's willing to pay to see him out of he company. Victor smiles, taking out a pen and paper, all too willing to show him what Brad is truly worth.

Gloria can't understand why Michael and Kevin both feel that she would let them take the heat for her crimes. Kevin tells his mother that William Bardwell is not one to just roll over and accept someone's story as 100% truth; that he will dig and dig till he finds what he needs to find. Michael informs Gloria that during the course of this trial, thing will be stressful for them all. He makes the suggestion that she find someone else to represent her. She refuses, telling Michael that he's the best lawyer for her. Michael tells her that if he's going to be brought into the center of things there is no way that he can defend her. He warns her that they all need to be prepared for when the other shoe drops.

Sliding the piece of paper over towards Brad, Victor tells him that it will be the only price that he will give to get Brad out of their lives. Looking at the figure written on the paper, Brad smirks a little, still floored at how far Victor would go to remove him from his company. Standing up, Brad tells Victor that he accepts his offer. The sooner they can finalize their 'deal' the sooner he can get on with his life and they with theirs. Walking towards he door, he takes one final look at Victoria, who glares at him. Shaking his head, he walks out the door.

Colleen tries to explain that she was worried about him; and worried that he would do something to hurt someone or himself. JT tells her that he is long over what went down, but he won't forget all that she did. She asks him if in time they can be friends again. JT shakes his head and walks back towards the door, telling her as far as he's concerned, their friendship died a long time ago when she stopped believing in him. He lets the door slam shut as he walks out.

Shortly after their meeting with Brad, all parties have left the office except for Victor. Picking up the phone, he instructs Jack to come into his office. Minutes later, Jack arrives and asks Victor what's up. Victor tells Jack that he has some vital information to share with him. Curious, Jack asks what it is. Opening his desk drawer, Victor pulls out a folder and places it on the desk. He opens it to reveal to Jack two copies of a will. A stunned Jack asks Victor where he got it. Victor tells Jack that it doesn't matter where he received it; all that matters is that he now has proof that he tricked his father into signing everything over to him, leaving Gloria in the cold. Before Jack can speak, Victor continues by stating that he is very aware that Jabot is in fact owned by him and not Ji Min. Jack, sick to his stomach, can do nothing but stand in pure silence.

Cleaning off his desk, Brad decides to make a phone call to Jill. Smiling smugly, he asks if the position at Jabot is still open. When he is told that it is, he suggests that they set up a meeting to meet to discuss the opportunity. Letting the phone hit the cradle, Brad thinks to himself that Victor may have thought he won the first round, but he, along with all of Newman, will soon learn that it is going to be a battle to the very end.
