Katherine loses her Jabot shares to Jack and Brad

Nick comes into Victoria's office, and from the look on his face, he's non-to-pleased. Closing the door behind him, he slams a manila folder on her desk. Looking up at him, Victoria asks him what his problem is.

He tells her that she's not getting away with trying to ship Amanda out of town for Newman business. Victoria tells Nick that as their PR representative, she will go where she is needed. Nick, however, doesn't agree, pointing out that Amanda's only been working there for a few weeks and needs time to understand everything. Victoria asks Nick what's so special about Amanda that everyone caters to her so? Taken aback, Nick asks Victoria if she's more concerned about the good of Newman or merely trying to get rid of the girl because of possible jealousy.

Michael, who's still in his clothes from yesterday, stumbles to get to the door. Rubbing his eyes, he's surprised to see Lauren and Fen on the other side. He steps aside and asks Lauren what brings her over. Lauren sighs a little, but tells Michael that he agreed to spend the day with Fen. Looking at her, he tells her he totally forgot, making it a point in moving documents and files off of the couch. Looking at her estranged husband, Lauren tells Michael that if all his time is dedicated to Gloria, then maybe it is best that Fen go back home with her. Slightly irritated at how easily Lauren is willing to whisk Fen away, Michael tells Lauren that she's going to leave their son right where he is; he's not missing any opportunities with his son.

Descending down the stairs, Jill makes her way into the kitchen to have breakfast. When she arrives, she sees that Cane is there, laughing at something with Katherine. Pouring herself a cup of coffee, she sits down across from them. Cane greets his mother and tells her that he hopes they can do lunch together that day. Jill tells her that she will be too busy to have lunch with him. Looking up from her paper, Katherine asks what she has planned. Not paying Katherine much mind, Jill continues to tell Cane that she will be busy moving into a room at the athletic club. Cane asks her why she's doing that. Looking in Katherine's direction, Jill tells him that it's time for her to have some breathing room. Katherine tells Jill to stop being silly and stay where she belongs. Cane tells Jill that she shouldn't move out; that they can all try to work things out. Shaking her head, Jill tells the both of them that despite all their pleas, she's moving.

Kevin and Gloria are eating breakfast at the athletic club. Kevin mentions that Michael stayed up the majority of the evening coming up with things to present at the trial. Sipping some orange juice, Gloria tells Kevin that they need some big time miracles to get them out of the mess they are in. As they are talking, William Bardwell approaches them. Gloria tells William that he can go back from where he came. Chuckling a little, William tells Gloria that he has business with Kevin. When Kevin tells him that he can say whatever in the presence of his mother, William does so. He wants to know exactly how much he knew or possibly assisted in, regarding the skin cream tainting. Gloria quickly tells William that her son would do no such thing. William, however, tells Gloria that he knows for a fact that her sons would do anything to keep her out of trouble; he just wants to know how far Kevin went to stand by her side.

Katherine is making her way toward Jack's office when she see's Brad walking along side her. She asks him if he's a part of the meeting. Smiling a little,Brad tells her that he is a part of the meeting. When the y arrive, Katherine ask Jack what this is all about. Sitting across from her, Jack tells her that he wants her shares with Jabot. Katherine tells him that she is very well aware that they took what they wanted and questions why such under-handed tactics. Jack tells her that it's nothing personal, but feels that her shares will help benefit Jabot in the long run. Brad tells Katherine that if she sells her shares, she could put good use to the money. Reluctantly, Katherine agrees, however, she tells them that they will buy them for the price she sees fit. Brad begins to balk, however, Jack tells Brad that the shares are forth paying more for. Katherine says that the money that she receives will be going toward her grandson Cane's new archeology planning.

Lauren is working on the accounting records at Fenmore's when William comes in. He asks her if she has a moment to talk with him. Sensing immediately what it could be about, she tells him that she has a few minutes. Cutting to the chase, William tells Lauren that he would like her to testify against Gloria at the trial. Lauren asks why her testimony is needed. William points out that although she was not a part of the crime, she learned about it, therefore, she will need to testify. Lauren asks if she can think on it before making her decision. Realizing that she's hesitant because of Michael, William gets frustrated. He tells Lauren that she either testify or be brought in as a hostile witness.

Lily: "Look at the 'before' and 'after' pictures, Colleen. See how improved she looks?
