Michael finds himself taking off with Fen

Devon and Lily are discussing some of the key points that took place at the music producer seminar. Smiling, Lily expresses gratitude to Devon for getting her out of the house. He tells her that he just wants her to have a good time. A young man comes up to them and announces that they have refreshments and appetizers if they are interested. Both stand up and head in that direction.

Daniel contacts Amber and asks her if she has any ideas on ways he can put a smile on Lily's face. Amber tells him that the best thing he can do is bake her favorite dessert. He tells Amber that he will need some help in doing that. Not hesitating, Amber tells him that she will be over right away.

Coming into the house Brad calls out to Abby, to let her know that he is home. When she doesn't answer back, he assumes that she could be napping. Heading upstairs, he goes to her room. Worry sets in when she isn't there. Checking into the kitchen he finds that area empty too. He then proceeds to go outside, hoping she is outside playing. When she isn't there either, he begins to worry that something seriously bad has happened.

Victoria is pouring herself a cup of tea when she hears the doorbelling ringing. Going to the door, she sees Abby standing on the other end. Surprised to see the young girl she asks what brings her by. Hugging Victoria, she tells her step-mother that she wanted to surprise her. Laughing a little, Victoria tells her she did the job. Looking around, Victoria questions Abby if her father knows that she is there.

OPENING SEGMENT

Jack asks Victor how he went to great lengths to dig into his personal business. Victor tells Jack that he made a costly mistake using his illness as a way to get NVP from him. Nobody makes a fool out of him and gets away with it. Jack demands to know what Victor wants in an attempt to keep him quiet about Jabot. It's simple, Victor tells him; sign over NVP and he'll disregard how low he stooped to get what he wanted from John before he died.

Stepping into the coffee house, JT makes him way up to the counter. Kevin, who emerges from the back, is stunned to see JT at Crimson Lights. He quickly asks him what he's doing there. JT points out that he is looking for him. Scoffing, Kevin tells JT that they have nothing to talk about. The young private investigator tells him that one name will make him pay attention: Jana. Kevin nearly knocks over a coffee cup, and asks him if he found her. JT said that he has, however, he's not going to like the news he has to share.

Michael, not being able to stand being away from Lauren and their son, walks up to the door of the Chancellor mansion. Ringing the doorbell, he awaits as Esther opens the door to him. Stepping inside, he asks if Lauren is there. Esther, knowing just a little of what's going on between them immediately calls for Katherine. When Katherine steps into the master living room, she shoos Esther away. Before Michael can say anything, Katherine tells him that Lauren is upstairs, however, he is the last person that she wants to see.

Abby tells Victoria that her father doesn't know that she came to see her. Victoria chastises the girl for running off without telling anyone where she was going. Picking up the phone, she calls Brad to tell him that Abby is with her. When she hangs up, she wants to know why she came to see her. Abby tells her that she wanted to see her and ask her why she isn't staying at home with them anymore. Not knowing how to answer the question, Victoria tells Abby that she will need to wait till her father comes over so they can all talk together.

With the seminar winding down, Devon and Lily decide to go to Crimson Lights real quick to have some coffee and discuss the seminar. As they come in, they can see that Kevin is talking to JT. Both comment on being surprised to see him, but opt not to go over to say hello. Taking their seats, both laugh at some of the comments that were made while the seminar was going on. Smiling, Devon tells Lily that he is glad to see her laughing again. When the waitress comes to take their order, Devon suggests they head by to the house.

Kevin wants to know what JT means by his not liking the news he has. He assumes that Jana got out of sight again, but JT assures him that Jana is no longer a threat. Shaking his head, Kevin tries to tell JT that as long as Jana is alive, she will always be a threat. JT stops him from talking further. He tells him that Jana isn't a threat, considering that she's been murdered. Opening a file, JT confirms his information.

Daniel is looking over the ingredients for the recipe. Shaking his head, he looks helplessly at Amber, worried that he's gotten himself into more trouble than he realized. Laughing at him, Amber takes the cookbook from his hands and begins mixing the ingredients for the lemon cake they are going to make. Not taking too kindly to being laughed at, Daniel takes some flour and blows it in her direction, getting it in her face. Dropping the cookbook, Amber does the same thing, chasing Daniel throughout the apartment. Neither of them are aware that Devon and Lily have come home. Devon approaches the two of them and when they realize they are not alone, Daniel immediately tries to approach Lily; however, Lily, losing all the happiness she had earlier, opts to just walk out without a single word.

Jack feels that Victor is bluffing. Victor tells him that it is far from being a bluff, pointing out that if Jack does not comply with his request, the campaign that he's worked so hard for will be ruined. How much scandal does he need, Victor questions. Feeling that he's losing a battle he's never really won, Jack tells Victor that he will give NVP back to him, on the condition he has the documents that could seal his fate. Sliding the folder over to him, Victor tells Jack he is doing the 'wise' thing. Tail between his legs, Jack huffs out of Victor's office. Picking up the phone, Victor places a phone call to Nikki to meet him in his office right away.

Brad arrives at the Newman ranch, relieved that Abby is safe and sound. Holding on to the girl's shoulders he tells her that she is to never do what she did again. Abby tells her father that she wanted to see Victoria and ask why she's no longer staying with them. Looking up at Victoria, Brad asks her if she told her anything. Victoria says that she wanted them both to sit down with Abby and explain what is going on. Brad tells his young daughter that Victoria will no longer be living with them. He asks her if she remembers when he and her mother decided to live apart. The young girl nods and starts to cry, telling both adults that she doesn't want them to break up.

Nikki comes into the office and asks her husband what was so urgent for her to come to his office. Smiling, Victor removes himself from his desk and approaches his wife. Taking her hands, he tells her that he has wonderful news for her. Curiously looking at him, she wonders what his news could be. Victor informs Nikki that the great Jack Abbott is in fact the owner of Jabot, and that in order to save his reputation, will be giving Nikki NVP back. Nikki is ecstatic. When the joy wears off, Victor reveals that only thinks he will have a successful shot as senator. Opening his drawer, Victor shows her the actual documents that he will use to officially bring him down.

JT tells Kevin that since Jana has no family, he will be the one that has to call the shots in terms of how she should be buried.

Kevin scoffs at the idea of having the responsibility to bury the woman that made his life, along with so many others, a living hell. JT tells him that someone will most likely contact him about burial arrangements. Kevin quips that as far as he's concerned, they can light a match and let her burn for all he cares.

Michael tells Katherine that despite what's going on, he has every right to still see his son. Katherine suggests that he give Lauren some time to cool off. Not one to take orders, Michael tells Katherine that Lauren has had plenty of time to cool off, and that he wants to see his child. Without another word, Michael bypasses Katherine and heads upstairs in search for his wife and baby. When he finds Lauren, he closes the door and tells her it's time that the two of them talk; no questions asked. Lauren tells Michael that they have nothing to talk about and that it would be in her best interest that he leave. He refuses, telling her, that as long as he is Fen's father, he will always be around her. Things between them get heated, causing the baby to cry. In anger, Michael scoops his son up in his arms and retreats downstairs with him, telling Lauren that he will be damned if he is denied any time with his flesh and blood.
