I know Monica is going to be eaten alive by the Quartermaines...and the guilt will slowly set in on her; Excellent episode

Colleen asks Abby to keep a secret for her Wiping sweat from his brow, JT looked at all of the belongings that Amanda had him help bring to the loft. He wondered how someone could accumulate so much in such a short period of time. Coming into the loft, Amanda had two large garment bags full of her dresses and other dress clothes. Shaking his head, JT told her that he’s glad that he made enough room in the closet for her belongings. Amanda insists that she doesn’t have a lot. Rolling his eyes, he pulls her into his lap and gives her a kiss on the lips. He tells her that he’s glad that she’s going to be living with him. Kissing him again, Amanda grabbed some of her boxes and made her way towards the bedroom. At Crimson Lights, Michael and Phyllis are having their usual bonding session. Phyllis comments on Dru’s ‘absurd’ behavior at Newman Enterprises. Chuckling, Michael tells her that he has her beat. He fills her in on his visit with his father. Phyllis asks if a part of him was glad that he got to see the man who is his father. Scrunching up his nose, Michael tells Phyllis that he only went to Atlanta to face the man and be done with him for good; how could he want to get to know about the man who walked out on his family. Taking Michael’s hand, Phyllis tells him that he should just try to get to know a little bit about Lowell; what could possibly happen know after so many years. At the Abbott house, Abby, who has come with Colleen, is reading a book when she brings up what happened at breakfast the previous day. The young girl asks Colleen why she lied about eating when she threw her food away. Seeing that Abby could possibly slip and tell her father about it, Colleen asks Abby if she can keep what happened at breakfast as secret. Shrugging, Abby asks again why she threw her breakfast away; questioning if something was wrong with it. Smiling a little, Colleen tells Abby that she tried to eat it but she wasn’t hungry. Extending her pinkie finger, Colleen asks Abby to ‘pinkie swear’ to keep quiet. Linking pinkies, Colleen is relieved when Abby says she’ll keep quiet. During his visit to the prison, Kevin can tell that Gloria isn’t in good spirits. When she sits down, she tells him that she’s glad to see him; that she has something he should know. Kevin, worried, asks her to tell him what’s going on. Before Gloria tells him, she asks him how things are going at the coffee house. He tells her that business is steady. Kevin then makes a comment about some guy coming by asking about her. Looking at her son, Gloria tells him that the man that was looking for her was none other than Michael’s father, Lowell Baldwin. Kevin asks how she can be sure? She tells him that he paid a visit, and made it clear that he was going to get to know Michael more; as well as the rest of the family. Adrian, walking into the foyer of the Abbott home, asks why Colleen isn’t dressed for dinner. Colleen tells Adrian that she doesn’t feel like going out to a crowded restaurant. Laughing a little, Adrian tells her that he had made reservations to a new hot spot, and was hoping she would enjoy it. Handing him the phone, she asks if he can cancel and just stay, cuddled watching movies with one another. Taking the phone from her. Adrian dials the restaurant, apologizing that he must cancel the reservation. Colleen tells Adrian to pick one of the movies on the entertainment center, while she goes to pop a large bowl of popcorn. As she makes her way to the kitchen, she once again feels her stomach growl , but ignores it, more determined to stick to her goal. Coming from the athletic club, Lauren coos at Fen, as she places him in his stroller. As she was pushing it towards the door, she smiled as an older gentleman offered to open the door for her. Looking down, the man crouches down and tells Lauren that she has a adorable little boy. She smiles, telling him that he’s even more adorable when he’s fast asleep. Looking at him for a moment, Lauren asks if they’ve met before. Shaking his head, the man tells her that he’s new to Genoa City. Checking her watch, Lauren realizes she’s late for her visit with Katherine. Excusing herself, Lauren again thanks the man for helping her get the stroller out of the door. When she is out of sight, Lowell smiles to himself, pleased that he managed to not only see Michael’s wife but his little son. NEXT on GENOA CITY Amanda bumps into Daniel at Newman Enterprises Neil admits to Phyllis that the presence of Ji Min makes him feel like an outsider Victor introduces Nick to Tyler

I love that you have added Jump into PC. It helps me to catch up on the storylines that I may have missed.

Neil and Dru struggle with the 'demons' that set them off Victor is following up with Victoria about Chaos. Victoria tells her father that the test shots from the photo shoot are fabulous and that Ji Min has been making serious headway to get the series of online promotions launched right in time for the fall. Nodding his head, Victor asks if Neil has been caught up to speed about Chaos. Victoria lets her father know that while he is learning everything about Chaos; he’s has some difficulties in working together with Ji Min. Victor questions why. She tells him about the brush off Ji Min gave Neil, therefore, Neil has a strong disregard for him. Picking up the phone, Victor contacts Neil, instructing him to come to his office at once. Jack is awaiting for Brad to come into his office, when his thoughts immediately go back to the sight of Brad and Sharon on the conference table. Grimacing, Jack tosses the front page of the newspaper on his desk, and walks over to the window. He doesn’t turn around when he hears the door open and shut. Continuing to look out the window, he tells Brad that he doesn’t appreciate having his office being into ‘Quickie Central.’ Brad asks what he’s talking about. Jack tells Brad that if he wants to continue using Sharon, do it in a location where other employees aren’t able to walk in on them. Brad mocks Jack by asking if he’s pissed that he’s no longer able to sample the feisty blonde. Turning around, Jack glares at Brad and tells him to keep his mind on the prize; destroying Newman Enterprises. Brad, retorts that Jack need not worry about him getting the job done. Unlocking the door, Olivia makes her way to her former bedroom. Gathering her belongings, she prepares to go out where she came, when Drucilla comes from her room. She immediately pounces on her sister, asking why she’s there. Olivia tells her sister that she’s getting the rest of her belongings. Dru tells Olivia that she best fess up in helping Phyllis cover up the paternity. Getting beyond irritated at going through the same heated discussion, Olivia drops her belongings on the couch and tells Dru that she needs to mind her business; because she hasn’t a clue as to what she’s talking about. Dru tells Liv to ‘school’ on what’s she’s covering up. The two begin to get into a heated argument. Snatching her belongings, Olivia tells Drucilla to back off before she does something she’ll regret. Dru shouts that she’s the one that will be regretting things for getting mixed up with the likes of Phyllis Newman. When Neil comes into Victor’s office, he immediately can tell that it won’t be a mere social visit. Closing the door behind him, Neil asks what’s going on. Victor starts by asking Neil he has any insight to share with him about Chaos. Clearing his throat, Neil tells Victor that while the concept is a excellent one, the pressure to rush the product can backfire. Giving it some thought, Victor then asks him if he has discussed the matter with Ji Min. Shifting uncomfortably after hearing the name, Neil tells Victor that he thinks that Ji Min has bigger plans than Newman can handle. Victor tells Neil that effective immediately, Neil and Ji Min will be working closely together on the Chaos project. When Neil leaves, he grits his teeth, pissed that once again he’s being someone else’s ‘second best.’ Sharon is in the Jabot break room when Jack walks in. Not bothering to look at her, Jack asks Sharon how her photo shoot went. Sharon comments that she think it was a success. Jack tells her that while that is a wonderful thing to hear, he wants to fill her in on something that was discovered earlier on. Not understanding what he means, Sharon asks what was discovered. Jack tells Sharon that Jabot isn’t her place of pleasure. Eyeing him, Sharon asks him where he’s coming from. Picking up his coffee and briefcase, Jack heads for the door and tells Sharon that the conference room table isn’t her bed for her trysts with Brad. In one of the Newman Enterprises conference rooms, Phyllis, who has returned to work, is looking over some of the headshots of Drucilla. Making two piles, Phyllis placed the ones she thought would work for the web site in one section, and the one’s that would be good for print in the other pile. As she continued to work, an already steamed Dru marches in, tossing her purse on the table. When Dru saw the pictures, assuming the Phyllis was compiling a ‘good’ or ‘bad’ system, she immediately snapped at Phyllis that she’s not going to let her decide what to use and what not to use. Phyllis tries to explain what she’s trying to do, but Dru won’t let her speak. Dru tells Phyllis not to test her or else she’ll tell all of Genoa City what’s she’s been up to. A baffled Phyllis stares at her nemesis, and asks what’s she’s talking about. With a raise of the eyebrow, Dru marches back out where she came in. NEXT on GENOA CITY ABBY: “Why did you tell dad you ate breakfast when you didn’t?” COLLEEN: “I need you to keep that as our little secret, okay, Abby?” KEVIN: “Some guy was asking about you at the coffeehouse. I wonder what that was about.” GLORIA: “He was at the coffeehouse?! Whatever you do, stay away from him, Kevin. Promise me.” LOWELL: “What a handsome little fellow you have there.” LAUREN: “Thank you. He’s even more handsome when he’s fast asleep.” (brief pause) “Have we met before?”

Wonderful episode.... Loved the flashback scenes for Carly and Jason.

Gloria is non-to-pleased to see one of her exes face-to-face Despite having unwanted company over, Michael, toting Fenmore with him. is pleased that he is having the chance to spoil his son. A huge part of Michael was pleased that Fen was asleep when Lowell came barging his way into his home. As he began feeding his son breakfast, the doorbell rang. Going to the door, he was relieved to see that it was Lauren. Seeing the look on his face, Lauren asks what’s wrong. As they are sitting beside their son, Michael tells her about the visit he received from Lowell. Lauren asks why he came to Genoa City. Michael rolls his eyes as he tells her that he suddenly wants to get to know his son. Jill drops by the mansion and sees that Katherine is looking over the pictures of Phillip. Picking up one of the photographs, Jill smiles a little; taking a look at the man that once said he loved her. She asks Katherine how the investigation is going into finding out about his past. Looking at her daughter, she tells her that Paul is in Detroit right now. As she continues to look at the photographs, she flips one over pursing her lips together at the sight of the name ‘Freddie Wilson.’ Letting it fall from her hands back into the pile, she tells Jill that Paul found out that Phillip was a ‘happening guy’ in Detroit; but not as Phillip, but as the one and only ‘Freddie Wilson’. At the Carlton residence, Abby is all up for having pancakes for breakfast. Bounding into the kitchen, she sees that her dad and Colleen are there as well. Brad gives her a kiss on the cheek before excusing himself to go get his briefcase for work. When he is gone, Colleen quickly moves from the table and tosses her breakfast in the trash; with a curious Abby looking on. When Brad comes back, he’s surprised that Colleen is on her way out the door, commenting that she must have eaten awfully quick. Colleen lies and tells her father that she must have been ‘super hungry.’ Kissing him on the cheek, she tells her father she promised to meet Lily for coffee at the coffeehouse. Brad and Colleen both leave the kitchen, leaving Abby alone. Abby, scooting out of her chair, walks to the garbage can and sees a full breakfast trashed. Shortly after driving Abby to one of her latest summer activities, Brad has made his way to the Genesis photo shoot. As Sharon comes out of the dressing room, Brad marvels at how beautiful she looks. Approaching her, he tells her that she will do fine; giving her a light kiss. He watches on as she shines throughout the photo shoot. As the photographers are wrapping up, Brad gives Sharon a knowing look. Sharon tells Brad that she’s going to change out of her outfit, and will meet him shortly. In a feisty mood, Brad tells her there’s no need to change clothes; and leads her into one of the conference rooms. Lily and Colleen are at Crimsons Lights when Lily questions why Colleen isn’t set to order something to eat. Colleen lies and tells her best friend that she’s still full from the breakfast she had. The two of them begin talking about how summer will be ending soon, and how they will be preparing for another year of college. Lily admits that she wishes that Colleen was back at Genoa City University. Touched, Colleen admits that she does miss her best friend. The two of them are laughing when Colleen feels her stomach growling somewhat. Brushing it off, she excuses herself to get a latte. When she makes her way to the counter, she feels a little dizzy, but continues to ignore it. Jack is walking down the halls of Jabot when he hears giggled coming from one of the conference rooms. Looking around, he makes his way towards the door. Opening it a little, he sees his ex Sharon hot and heavy on the conference room table with Brad. Closing the door immediately, he stalks his way towards his office. Brad’s actions as of late, especially when it came to Sharon, was irritating him. He needed to find a way to put a stop to it. Picking up the phone, he left a voice message on Brad’s phone, instructing him to meet him at his office immediately. Gloria walks with the guard to the patrician, expecting her usual visit from her sons. As she sits down, she is stunned when she sees that her sons aren’t the ones that have come to visit her; instead, she is looking at the man who walked out on her: Lowell Baldwin. When he sits down, he smirks telling her it’s been a long time. Gloria, not amused, demands to know why he’s in Genoa City. Lowell tells Gloria that he has a family to get reacquainted with. When Gloria warns him to stay away from Michael, Lowell boasts that he’s already paid his son a visit. There is nothing in the world that will prevent him from getting to know his son; as well as his younger brother. As he stands to walk away, Gloria screams for him to stay away from her family. Laughing a little, Lowell snarks that she can’t stop him. NEXT on GENOA CITY JACK: “I think you might want to keep your little sexcapades with Sharon Newman at home. This isn’t the place for it.” BRAD: “What’s the matter, Jacko? Are you still missing what you once had? DRU: “You best back off before I tell what you’ve been up to.” PHYLLIS: “Do you mind telling me what the hell you are talking about? Because I’m telling you, I haven’t got a clue what’s flying out of your mouth right now.” VICTOR: “Neil, it has come to my knowledge that there is a displeasure for Ji Min working here at Newman Enterprises. Is that true.” NEIL: “Let me guess, Victoria told you that I wasn’t impressed by Ji Min’s ideas on the new Chaos line, right?”

Each one of you make PC an excellent read.... You each bring the scenerios to life; you all bounce well off of one another; and as I pointed out to someone; the flow of the writing just gels... You all do a wonderful job in giving us storylines that not only touch our hearts but keeps us coming back each time....

What a powerful episode. In my mind I can see Alan clutching his arm, as Monica is lying there in bed, feeling the sharp pain. Then seeing everyone rushing to him, while the scene turns back to Monica asking for more love-making. I love how you had it end; with the Quartermaines finding out; then finally, Jason.

Could a crafty Lowell have an agenda when it comes to Gloria's sons? Sharon is surprised that Nick has stopped over to her house. When she lets him in, she asks him how things are going for Summer. Nick tells his ex that she is doing well; keeping Phyllis and him on their toes every minute. As the two sit down, Nick informs Sharon that Noah is very upset about Brad being in her life. Sharon says that Noah will always have difficulty accepting that the two of them are not getting back together; he was upset when Phyllis was in the picture; as well as when Jack was in her life; so she can understand why he’s having a difficult time with Brad. Nick advises Sharon to not have Brad try to ‘buy’ his acceptance; if Noah is uneasy, then he shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for not being able to accept that his mother has someone else in her life. Michael stares at Lowell, who has made himself at home on his sofa. Glaring at him, Michael goes over to the mini bar and pours him a drink. Shoving it at him, he demands to know why he’s at his house. Lowell, savoring the rich taste of the Jack Daniel’s, tells Michael that he wanted to pay a visit to him. Skeptical, Michael tells him their meeting in Atlanta should have been enough for him. Finishing off the drink, Lowell, proceeds to head to the bar to pour another drink, but Michael snatches the bottle away from him, demanding that he explain why he’s really there. Smirking at Michael, Lowell asks him what’s wrong with him getting to know his son. Slamming the bottle down, Michael tells Lowell that what he’s saying is bull; the only reason why he’s there is because he suddenly wants in on what his ‘prodigal’ family has. Meeting up at the athletic club, Olivia give Brad a warm hug. As the two sit down for a drink, Brad asks how her work overseas had gone. Shrugging, Olivia admits that there are times where she misses it, but she always known her place was back at Genoa City. Brad tells her that she truly missed and is happy that she is back home. Olivia brings up Ashley and asks if he knows how she’s doing? He admits that they still communicate from time to time, but strictly regarding Abby. Olivia quips that she thought Ashley and he would always be together; smiling a little, Brad tells Olivia that he has a new lady in his life. When she questions if she knows who his new love is, Brad admits that she does; it’s Sharon Newman. Olivia nearly coughs her drink at hearing the words. Lauren and Katherine are at Chancellor Estates when the subject about Paul’s investigation comes up. Lauren asks her what it is she’s exactly looking for. Katherine, goes to her desk and produces a folder of photographs of Phillip. Looking at them, Lauren isn’t quite sure as to why Paul is digging into the past. Katherine instructs Lauren to turn over the picture and read the name on the back. A curious look crosses Lauren’s face, as she asks who “Freddie Wilson” is. Katherine says that’s what she wants to know; and Paul is in Detroit right now, trying to find out exactly about the past she never knew. As the two are talking, the telephone rings. Answering it, she covers the phone and whispers that it is Paul. Lauren immediately comes by the phone to see what he has to say. On the other line, Paul tells Katherine that he was able to find out a few things about Phillip; he was very well-known by several people; but not as Phillip, but as ‘Freddie Wilson.’ Katherine tells Pau to keep digging. After leaving Michael’s, Lowell steps into Crimson Lights. Looking around, he smiles at the cozy vibe that the coffee house has. As he walks to the head counter, he spots a face that he remembers from the newspaper articles about Gloria. When Kevin turns to face him, Lowell immediately remembers him to being Gloria’s youngest son. Flashing a smile, Lowell tells him that he just got into town and if he was wondering if he could help him locate someone. Kevin asks who it is he is trying to locate; Lowell asks in returns if he knows anyone in Genoa City by the name of Gloria Fisher. Not giving himself away, Kevin informs the stranger that he doesn’t know where she is. Pretending to believe Kevin, Lowell, sets ready to depart, telling him that he’s sorry for wasting his time. Once outside, Lowell, pleased in coming face-to-face with another son of Gloria, he pulls out his wallet to locate the news clipping of Gloria’s trial. Reading the name of the jail in the report, Lowell takes his cell phone to dial information. NEXT on GENOA CITY LOWELL: “Well, hello, beautiful. I would tell you that you haven’t changed, but that would be a lie.” GLORIA: “What the hell are you doing here? What do you want, Lowell?” JILL: “So, did Paul shed some light as to who in the hell “Freddie Wilson” is?” KATHERINE: “Well, all I know is that he was the ‘Big Man” of Detroit. Paul is still doing some more investigating. (Abby looking on) BRAD: “Colleen, you must have been really hungry. Did you wolf down your entire breakfast that fast?” COLLEEN: “Yeah, I did. I’m in a rush; I promised Lily I would meet her at the coffee house. (When no one is looking, Abby peers down into the garbage can)

Fantastic episode... I was awaiting the breakdown of the marriage of Alan and Monica....

Patrick and Robin have to be the most favorite couple of mine in this blog. I love that despite all the crabbiness (due to her little nest egg coming about) she showed just how much she loves Patrick. I really anticipate the development of their story. I know that it will be written with both emotion and fun. I knew Lainey had a little thing for Dr. Webber...Kelly is the little trollop that she is; always pouncing when someone else doesn't want to make a move. I don't think Steven knew what to do, he was so flustered when she got all up on him the way she did

AWESOME....I can't wait to see Darrin Palmer emerge to put Ric in the hot seat....I'm gonna love that... Okay, to today's episode...I love that you have Garrett challenging not only Alexis but Ric in some manner in regards to doing their jobs....I could see that Garrett was going to toss Sam in the mix on Alexis...he always seems to do that... Loving Mac not giving up his pursuit on Bobbie....I love this storyline among the other one's you have out there. Excellent job....As always

Michael gets an unwelcome surprise On their play date, Noah and Abby bound down the stairs of the Carlton residence. Sharon, who is slightly nervous, gives Brad a look, letting him know that it is time for them to talk to their children. Brad calls both Noah and Abby over to sit down for a moment. Noah in typical fashion, immediately suspects that there is something wrong. Sharon assures her son that everything is fine; they just have some good news to share. Abby asks what it could be. Brad tells the kids that Sharon and he are dating one another. Abby smiles and tells Sharon that she is happy for her; and that she wants her father to be happy. Noah, however, not wanting to hear any of that, lashes out and tells Brad that he will never be his father. When Brad tries to assure him that he’s not taking Nick’s place, an upset Noah storms out of the house. Suitcases in hand, Olivia announces to Neil and Dru, who are at the breakfast table, that she booked a suite at the G.C.A.C. Neil quickly approaches and tells Olivia there is no need for her to do that. Sighing, Olivia tells Neil that she just thinks it’s too close for comfort; making sure to lock eyes on Drucilla. Seeing that he won’t be able to convince her otherwise, he offers to take her. Olivia, thankful for his gesture, declines, telling him she already has a taxi set to pick her up. When she walks out, Drucilla huffs defiantly. Neil again demands to know what she and Olivia were arguing over. Dru looking at her husband tells him he’s asking the wrong one. At Chancellor Industries, Jill stops by Katherine’s to see what she’s up to. Katherine asks how the new Genesis line is going; Jill marvels that everything seems to be going as planned. Katherine grows quiet for a moment, and Jill makes the assumption that her mother has doubts about its possible success. Kay reassures Jill that she’s not at all doubting that she and Jabot can make Genesis a ‘go-getter.’ She informs Jill that she requested Paul’s help in finding out about Phillip’s past in Detroit. Sitting across from Katherine, Jill asks her if it’s about all of the photographs with the name “Freddie Wilson.” She tells Jill that something is not right and she won’t feel at ease until she learns about this ‘mysterious’ past. Olivia is talking to Gina when Brad walks into the athletic club. Chuckling, Brad says that they seem to always bump into one another at the same location. Smiling, Olivia tells Brad that he will see much more of her since she’s moving into one of the suites. Brad jokingly asks if Dru is driving her nuts; Olivia states that he must be reading her mind, because that was the main reason for the move. Checking his watch, Brad asks Olivia if she has time for one drink. Shaking her head, Liv tells him that she has to go to the hospital to check on a few patients. As she is leaving to head up to her suite, Brad makes the suggestion that they get together again. Olivia promises to follow through the next time she sees him. Nick finds an upset Noah sitting on the couch at the tack house. When Nick questions why he’s there, rather than playing with Abby, Noah blurts out that Brad and Sharon are dating. Nick asks how he found that out. Noah explains that Sharon and Brad told both he and Abby about the news. Seeing that his son is upset, he tells Noah that he understands how he feels. Noah says that his family is coming apart; Cassie’s death and now the fact that his parents are now apart and with other people; he just wants things to go to the way they once were. Nick tells Noah that nobody can replace his family; hugging his son tightly, Nick mutters under his breath, ‘not even Brad Carlton.’ Cradling his son, Michael thanks Lauren for bringing him by for a visit. Michael marvels at how big he’s getting. Lauren asks Michael where he has been. Still cuddling Fen, Michael tells her that he took a trip to Atlanta with Paul to find out about the person who sent him the letter he received. Lauren questions who sent him the letter. Handing Fen back to Lauren, Michael tells her that the letter came from his biological father, Lowell Baldwin. He continues to fill her in on the fact that he’s a bar owner and has a family there. Lauren asks how Michael felt upon seeing his father. Sniffing, he tells her that as far as he’s concerned, Lowell need not expect another visit from the son he walked out on. Shortly after the departure of Lauren and Fen, Michael is interrupted from his reading by a knock on the door. Thinking that Lauren may have forgotten something, Michael opens the door. Unfortunately for him, it’s not Lauren or anyone else he’d be pleased to see. Instead, Michael is face-to-face with Lowell Baldwin. Michael immediately asks him what he’s doing in not only Genoa City, but standing at is door. Lowell smiles and tells Michael that since he came looking for him in Atlanta, it’s only fair for him to see what Michael’s city was like. Before Michael can even muster up another word, Lowell invites himself in, and asks if he has anything to drink. NEXT WEEK on GENOA CITY Michael accuses Lowell of coming to Genoa City for ulterior motives Paul informs Katherine that Philip had a busy life in Detroit; as Freddie Wilson Neil begins to feel the green eyed monster when it comes to Ji Min Brad and Sharon get hot and heavy in the Jabot conference room unaware that Jack has spotted them Kevin discovers the man he met is in fact Lowell Baldwin

Neil finds himself once again in between the squabblings of the Barber sisters Handing Victoria a cup of latte, Brad took a seat across from her. He tells her that he is happy to know that the baby is doing well; without any complications. Victoria, enjoying their banter, admits that she feared the worst; especially after her last miscarriage. Taking her hand in his, Brad tells her that despite no longer being her husband, he will see it in his power to help her through her pregnancy. Pulling out the sonogram from her purse, she hands it to Brad. Looking at it, Brad admits he was tempted to ask the doctor if the baby is a boy or a girl. Giggling, Victoria admits that she was thinking the same thing. As the two are looking at the sonogram together; Sharon walks in, quite sure that she has walked in on a private moment between the two of them. Approaching them, Sharon greets Victoria. Victoria, not in the mood to deal with Sharon, bids both farewell. Once gone, Brad shows Sharon the sonogram, and expresses his happiness that the baby in good health. Coming down the stairs in a teddy, Phyllis is more than ready to have a more private welcome home all her own with Nick. Since being out of the hospital, most of her days were spent making sure Summer was cared for and making sure she was way prepared for the new Chaos line. When she makes her way to the end of the stairs, she sees that Nick has dimmed the lights and has soft jazz music playing in the background. Making his way towards her, Nick wraps his arms around her, whispering all the naughty things he has planned for the two of them. Giggling, Phyllis locks lips with her husband. Mid make-out session, the doorbell ruins the moment. Trying not to make any noise, Phyllis whispers that maybe whoever it is will go away. Unfortunately, the voices of Jack and Jill kill the mood altogether. Snatching his robe, Nick grumbles that Jack’s life is work 24/7. Phyllis, slipping into her robe, folds her arms, not at all pleased to see Jack and Jill barging in on them. Olivia rushes over, snatching the Palm pilot from Dru, demanding why she’s in her bedroom. Before Drucilla can answer, Olivia spots her attaché case on the floor and begins to open it. Furious, she tosses it on the bed, and tells her sister that she had absolutely no right to go through her personal belongings. Not appreciating the tone her sister is giving her, Dru matches withs with her by asking her how long she planned on keeping Phyllis’ secret for her. Olivia, not wanting to get into it, tells Dru that she had no right to come into her room and invade her privacy. Pointing a finger in Liv’s direction, Dru tells her older sister to cut the crap and admit that she’s covering up the fact that Phyllis knows the true paternity about Summer. As the two get into a shouting match, Neil opens the door, shouting to both of them to tone it down and tell him what’s going on. Glaring at one another, both sisters grow stone silent. JT is surprised to open the door to find Amanda standing there. Smiling at him, she asks if he’s going to let her in, or just gawk at her all night. Pulling her inside, he asks what brings her over to his place. Sitting on the couch, Amanda asks if he has any wine left over. Grabbing two glasses, he pours the wine, but still questions why she’s there. Motioning him over, Amanda takes the glass from his hand and takes a sip. She tells him that after thinking his offer over, she’s more than ready to move forward in their relationship. When JT smirks at her, she asks if she has to actually say the words to him in order for him to be satisfied. Nodding his head, Amanda tells JT that she is ready to officially move in with him. At the coffee house, Sharon, still a bit unsettled by seeing Brad not only with Olivia but then Victoria, blurts out that she feels that it’s time for Noah and Abby to learn that they are going to be a couple. Brad thinks it’s still too soon, especially after being recently divorced from Victoria. Narrowing her eyes, Sharon tells Brad that they can’t keep hiding the truth from their children; if Nick and others know, pretty soon the children will hear it from someone other than them. Realizing that Sharon has a point, Brad questions when would be the right time to break the news to them. Sharon tells him that they can arrange a play date for the two and tell them together. When Brad goes to get a re-fill of his coffee, Sharon silently wonders once she makes their relationship truly official, if Brad will inform the previous ladies in his life that he’s spoken for. Tossing his coat on the chair, Neil again asks what all the shouting is about. Dru immediately locks eyes on Olivia and instructs her to tell Neil what’s going on. Olivia, not pleased with Dru’s bully tactics, tells Neil that she’s in no mood to be dealing with the latest squabble session with her sister. Picking up her robe and grabbing a towel, Olivia tells them that she’s going to take a bath and go to bed. When Dru is left alone with Neil, he looks at her, whispering what she did to get Olivia so upset. Rolling her eyes, Dru tells Neil to talk to that sister-in-law of his; she’s going to bed. NEXT on GENOA CITY Sharon and Brad share their news with Noah and Abby; one child is pleased while another runs off A frustrated and fed up Olivia moves to the athletic club where she once again bumps into Brad Katherine informs Jill that Paul is digging into Philip’s past

Dru has some serious explaining to do when she's caught red-handed Dru stumbles trying to meet Neil before he has a chance to come into Olivia’s room. Neil again questions why she’s in her room. Chuckling, Dru tells Neil that she gave Olivia some mail and believes that a letter from Devon was lost in the exchange. Raising an eyebrow at his wife, Neil tells her that he doesn’t recall any letters from Devon being delivered. Dru says that she is sure that one came but she believes that it got crossed in Liv’s mail. Neil is about to broach the situation again, but a phone call stops him. Answering it, he grimaces when he’s instructed by Victoria that he is needed at the office to go over some campaign possibilities for Chaos with Ji Min while she is away. Hanging up the phone, Neil tells Dru that he has to go back to the office; but before heading out, instructs her to mind her business where Liv is concerned. Hanging up the phone, Victoria is awaiting the receptionist to call her in for her appointment. She lets out a sigh when Brad, who insisted in coming with her, walks in and takes a seat beside her. Victoria tells Brad there was no need in him coming along with her. Brad, however, points out that as long as she’s carrying his child, he will play an active role in their life. Before either one can get into a ‘discussion’ on the matter, the doctor instructs them to come in. Once inside, Dr. Jacobs goes over the test results that were done and is pleased to announce that the baby is healthy. Brad instinctively rubs Victoria’s shoulder, pleased by the news. As they are walking out, Dr Jacobs hands Victoria a sonogram picture of their baby. At the Newman tact house, Phyllis is feeding Summer when Michael drops in for a visit. Hugging her, he apologizes for not being there for her welcome home party. Pretending to be offended, Phyllis asks Michael what was so important to keep him away from her. Sitting down, he admits that he had some unexpected business to care for. Handing Summer over to him, she is curious to know what business he was dealing with at that time. Cooing at the baby, Michael tells his best friend that he went to pay his biological father a visit in Atlanta. A puzzled Phyllis asks how he managed to find him. Smirking, Michael says the ole son-of-a –bitch had nerve to write him to see if he’d take the bait. Phyllis tells Michael that if he wants to talk further, he knows who to come to. Giving her a kiss on the cheek, he hands Summer back to her. Knocking on the door, JT surprises Amanda with a bouquet of flowers at her office. Walking in, JT closes the door behind him, drawing Amanda into an embrace. Sniffing the bouquet, Amanda asks what brings him over. JT admits to having an angle for coming over. Not only does he want to take her out for dinner, but he wants to ask her something important. Not wanting to wait for the news at dinner, Amanda tells JT to fill her in now. JT, realizing that she’s not going to be one to wait till later, approaches her with the opportunity to move forward in their relationship. He asks her what her thoughts are on moving in with him. Amanda kisses him, letting him know that she needs time to think something so big over first. Awaiting for Gloria to meet him by the plexi glass, Michael sighs a little when he sees her with the guard. He tells his mother that he is sorry that he hadn’t been by to visit her as often as he promised. Gloria tells Michael she knows that he’s been busy the past few days. Not wanting to let on that she is aware that he went in search for his father, Gloria asks him what type of business has kept him away. Taking in a deep breath, Michael tells Gloria that he received a letter from Lowell Baldwin, and went in search for him. Closing her eyes briefly, Gloria asks if he was able to find him. Michael tells her that not only did he find him, but he learned that not only does he have a family in Atlanta, but he’s been keeping tabs on them regarding the case. Gloria begs Michael not to stay involved with him. Michael quickly assures his mother that he wants nothing to do with Lowell Baldwin. Tearing into the attaché once again, Dru, determination set in, continues to dig through Olivia’s paperwork. Seeing a folder sticking out of the stacks of papers, Drucilla immediately seizes it, curious to see if this is something that can show some sort of proof that Phyllis is involved in her sister’s recent behavior. She’s going through the documents, but is disappointed that nothing pans out. Not wanting to give up, she puts the items back in the case, and begins to make her way for the night table. She quickly spots that Olivia left her Palm organizer behind. Sitting on the bed, she begins to turn it on and scroll through it; in hopes to see something that involves her arch nemesis. Dru is so caught up into looking through Liv’s planner that she jumps when she hears the door slam shut. Looking up, she’s face-to-face with Olivia; who is demanding to know what the hell she’s doing in her room, going through her personal belongings.

Excellent episode.....Absolutely loved picturing Ric stepping out of the bathroom in nothing but black boxers and black socks...I don't picture him the little black sock garters because that's not Ric's style I hope that Liz can move past Lucky and find someone else to fill her life with...but then again, she'll always be comparing the next guy to that of Jason Morgan. Also love the bonding moment between Nik and Michael....I know it was eating AJ alive having to see that. Awesome epsisode

Checking her watch, she realizes that she will be staying another late day at Newman Enterprises. As she is making her way towards her office, Ji Min quickly approaches her. Victoria pleased to see him strikes up a conversation with him in the halls. As the two of them are chatting, Nikki is making her way down the hall when she spots them. Not wanting to disturb, but yet interested in seeing what’s going on, she hangs back. In the midst of the conversation going on between the two, Nikki notices Ji Min is more than comfortable around her daughter; immediately coming to the conclusion that perhaps Ji Min is developing feelings for the young Newman. Tyler is finishing up his rounds at the stables when Victor comes to check on him. Tyler immediately tells Victor that he managed to finish everything and will check on the mare that was giving him a bit of trouble. Victor tells Tyler he was hoping to spend a few minutes with him if possible. The young man assumes that he did something wrong, and tells Victor that if something is wrong, he’ll be sure to do better next time around. Chuckling, Victor tells the young man that he simply wants to talk to him some. Relieved, Tyler follows Victor towards the mansion, curious as to what the two will converse about. Opening the door to the tack house, Daniel walks in on a sleeping Phyllis, who has Summer laying across her chest, also sleeping. Quietly closing the door, Daniel tiptoes and gently scoops up his sister, placing her in the bassinet across from the couch. Phyllis slowly wakes up and is pleasantly surprised to see her son sitting across from her. He tells her that he wanted to spend some one on one time with the other ‘women’ in his life. His mother asks how things are going for he and Lily. He admits that he was scared that things would go south for them, however, the more they spend time together, the more they learn how to communicate. Phyllis tells her son that she is so happy that he was the one that saved Summer’s life. Daniel hugs his mother and tells her that he would do anything for the people he loves. Olivia is at her wits end when Dru, who awaited her return home, pounced on her for her reasons in not attending the Newman gathering.

Dru, unable to let go of the notion that Phyllis could be the reason for Liv’s edginess, continues to harp on wanting to know what is bothering her. Neil, who is heading out to the athletic club, immediately approaches the scene, and tells his wife to stop with the interrogation. Not wanting to stay in the house any longer, Olivia asks Neil to drop her off at the hospital. Dru, not pleased with being dismissed by either husband or sister, plops herself on the couch. The minute the door is closed, Dru makes her way into Olivia’s room, more than determined to dig up some possible dirt. Back at the ranch, Tyler asks Victor how managed to rise to the top. Victor shares his story of how he lived in an orphanage. Tyler tells Victor that he always assumed he was born into money; to which Victor immediately corrects. Victor explains that he wanted to prove those who doubted him in life wrong; therefore, had the determination to make a name for himself, as well as the family he would bring up. Tyler says that sometimes money can cloud a person’s true perceptions of family. Victor asks Tyler about his family. Tyler manages to dodge the question by telling him that he needs to get home. Once outside, Tyler slips his hands in his pockets, more than ready to learn more about Victor Newman. At the athletic club, Sharon and Brad are eating together when she questions him about Olivia. Brad tells Sharon that Olivia was a close friend to him when he was trying to help Ashley come to terms with her cancer. Not wanting to sound like a jealous girlfriend, Sharon asks if the two of them caught up on old times. Brad, sensing that Sharon wasn’t pleased with sharing her time with someone else, assures Sharon that Olivia and he will always be friends; nothing more. At the Winters’ Dru opens Olivia’s attaché case. Sitting on the bed, she begins to pull papers, curious to see if anything with Phyllis’ name pops up. Dru, in her gut, knew that something about Phyllis or Nick made her sister act strange. As she continues to go through paperwork from her sister’s case, the telephone rings. Groaning, Dru puts down what she has in her hands. When she answers it, it is a telemarketer trying to sell something to her. Not in the mood to be interrupted from her ‘investigation’ she quickly hangs up the phone and rushes back to the room. As she continues to dig into more paperwork, the sound of a door closing startles her. Scrambling to return the documents back into the attaché, Dru is completely startled when Neil is at the bedroom door, asking her what she’s up to.

Olivia comes under scrutiny by Dru Still in her bathrobe, Sharon, tells Brad that it might be best if he got dressed. Running out the door, she was able to catch Nick, who was unlocking his car door. Nick, asks her what is it that she wants to say; he already knows that she’s got it bad for Brad. Sharon admits that she and Brad are seeing one another, but she mainly wanted to catch him to advise him in keeping quiet about it. Rolling his eyes, Nick says that he has no one to tell about her latest ‘relationship.’ She asks if that also means keeping it from Noah. Her ex assures her that he won’t tell Noah; but tells her that Noah isn’t dumb; he’ll find out on his own. Getting in his car, he tells Sharon that he a ‘Welcome Home’ party to get to. Going back into the house, Sharon sees that Brad is fully dressed. He asks her if she would care to have dinner with him; to which she accepts. At Lowell’s Hideaway, Michael waits to see the expression on Lowell’s face when he announces that he is his biological son. Lowell surprises him when he tells him that he knows who he is; he knew the first time he walked into the bar. Michael asks him how he was able to locate him. The older gentleman tells him that he heard about him on the news a few weeks ago of him defending Gloria. Michael wants to know exactly what has him in Atlanta. Lowell admits that he has a family here. Lowell asks Michael if he would like to see pictures of them, to which Michael bypass. He points out that he’s not interested in knowing who his ‘new family’ is, nor does he want to start a relationship with him; all he wanted to do was come to Atlanta to see the man that walked out of his life. Neil and Dru are dressed to make their appearance to the Newman Welcome Home party for Phyllis and Summer. Dru immediately starts to fuss that she doesn’t know why Nick would even invite them, knowing full well that Dru can’t stand the obnoxious red-head. Sighing, Neil, who is checking himself out in the mirror, straightening his tie, tells Dru that sometimes one needs to put aside their dislike for someone for the good of those that want them there. Choking back a laugh, Dru said he should take his advice whenever she sees him cutting his eyes whenever Ji Min walks the halls. Before Neil can say anything, Olivia comes in and comments on how good the two of them look. Neil asks why Olivia isn’t dressed to go. Olivia tells her brother-in-law that she wasn’t planning on going. Dru immediately assumes that Olivia isn’t going because of whatever is bothering her about Phyllis. Shushing Dru, Neil asks her why she’s opting not to go. Olivia tells them that she has a prior engagement and walks out the door before Dru or Neil can ask any more questions. As Phyllis and Nick enter the Newman ranch, loved ones scream out a hearty surprise. Phyllis, well aware of the welcome home party, puts on a ‘surprised’ face. Nikki immediately makes her way to scoop up her grand-daughter, while Victor and Victoria both surround Nick and Phyllis, offering up hugs for the two of them. Daniel and Lily, who were out talking by the pool come inside and embrace Phyllis, thrilled that she is home and well. Daniel watches Nikki playing with Summer, and comments that he is honored to give his blood to save his sister. Victor, hearing the doorbell, looks on as Miguel let’s Drucilla, Neil and Lauren, who was close behind in. Neil places their gift for Summer on the table, and make his way to the rest of the group. Lauren smiles at Lauren, placing baby Fen close to Summer’s bassinet. She tells Phyllis that there’s no way her son was going to miss his ‘girl’s’ welcome home. A tearful Phyllis hugs her friend, thanking her for all her encouraging words. From the corner, Drucilla looks on, determined to find out what Phyllis has to do with her sister being so frazzled. As Phyllis looks up and locks eyes with her, Dru immediately plants on a ever than sweet, but phony smile. Entering his hotel room, Michael opens up his suitcase; tossing what belongs he had inside. Checking his cell phone, he realizes that he has a message. Listening to it, he is surprised that it is Lauren on the other end. She informed him that Phyllis’ welcome home party would be today, and that she knows Phyllis would have liked him to be there. Grimacing, Michael zips up his bag and walks out of the door; more than happy to get out of Atlanta and away from the past that he no long wished to remember. Olivia is walking into the athletic club when she hears someone calling out to her. Turning around, she smiles at Brad, who is waving for her to come over. Sitting down beside him, Olivia tells him that she’s surprised to see him once again. Smirking, Brad tells Olivia that now that she is back in Genoa City, she will need to get used to seeing everyone again. Olivia asks if Brad is dining alone. Without telling her who he’s with, Brad tells her that he is having dinner with a companion. Raising an eyebrow, Olivia asks who the ‘companion’ is.

Sharon gives Nick and eyeful when he comes unannounced Ringing the doorbell of Chancellor Estate, Paul is surprised to see Katherine standing on the other side of the door. Summoning him in, Katherine tells Paul that she was the one that requested him to return to Genoa City. Looking around, Paul asks why Esther didn’t come to the door. Waving a hand nonchalantly, Katherine tells Paul that she sent Esther to have some time to herself; besides, with no Esther in the house, the more privately she can discuss the purpose for his assistance. Sitting down, Paul asks what she needs. Handing Paul a folder, Katherine tells him about the various pictures of Philip. Paul doesn’t understand what a few photographs would need him to investigate. Turning the photograph over, she points to the name ‘Freddie Wilson.’ She also tells him to take a good look; the picture was taken in Detroit. She wants to know whatever he can dig up on Philip’s time there and why he was going under the name of Freddie. Jill is more than pleased to finally have some quality time with her son over lunch. As the two eat at the athletic club, Cane asks how things are going on the new cosmetics line. Jill marvels about how everything seems to be coming together. She immediately talks about the long hours Jack has put in with her to get things off the ground. Smirking a little, Cane teases that she’s been spending a lot of time with Jack, and wonders if it’s all business. Blushing a little, Jill tells Cane that she and Jack have spent some time together, but it’s nothing serious. Raising an eyebrow at her, Cane wonders if she wants it to become that way. Shrugging, Jill says she hasn’t thought at all about it; right now, she’s just enjoying having someone to spend time with. Jack rings the doorbell to the tack house and is pleased to see not only Phyllis there, but a happy Summer playing in her play pin. Going over to the pin, Jack smiles, telling Phyllis that Summer is definitely a spitfire like her mother. Phyllis tells Jack that she’s just thankful that Summer is doing better than she thought she would. Sitting down, Jack questions if Phyllis will be taking time away from NVP. Looking at him, she knows his true reasons for asking. Phyllis assures Jack that she’s not going to get behind on their venture that they have planned for NVP; so don’t get too confident that Jabot is going to do them in.

He also fills her in on his visit with Gloria and how she stressed that Michael could be headed for danger if he keeps up his search.

Getting out of his car, Nick makes his way towards Sharon’s to see if Noah is ready to spend some time at the tack house with Summer. As he is opening the door, he is not only stunned but a bit disgusted at walking in on Sharon and Brad going at it on the couch. Upon hearing the door open, Sharon quickly scrambles off of Brad, grabbing her robe, demanding to know why Nick is there. Brad, having a sick pleasure of knowing that Nick has walked in on him with Sharon, quips that Nick has ‘perfect timing.’ Nick, not wanting to get into why Sharon is with Brad, tells Sharon that he was coming to pick up Noah to spend some time with Summer. Sighing, Sharon tells Nick that she completely forgot that he was coming over and sent Noah to play with a friend.

Ji Min's presentation leaves Neil un-impressed Ji Min is presenting his latest Chaos campaign ideas to Victor, Victoria and Neil, who has been requested to sit in. Victor immediately begins fielding questions to Ji Min; questioning if the spas are the best place to get their large target audience. Ji Min quickly answers the question, guaranteed that once the sample promotions start circulating, via web, consumers will line up to the spa line. Victoria is impressed by the hard word that Ji Min has put in to the project. Neil, who remained quiet throughout the presentation, is looking over some of the information that Ji Min has presented. Victor excuses himself and Ji Min to have a private one on one. The minute they are gone, Victoria sits beside Neil, curious to see what he thinks of the whole idea. Closing the folder, Neil tells Victoria that he’s seen better. Opening the door to the tack house, Nick carries Summer into the house, Phyllis, following behind him is surprised to see bouquets of flowers and plants around the house. Nick tells her that a lot of the co-workers from Newman have been sending them to the house rather than the hospital. Nick tells Phyllis he’ll be back down after putting Summer in her crib. Reading a few of the ‘Get Well’ cards, Phyllis is surprisingly touched to see that folks thought of her and her daughter. Picking up another card, she stifles a snicker when she realizes that Drucilla sent it. Sitting on the couch, she goes through some of the mail on the coffee table. As she does so, the telephone rings. Picking it up, she greets the caller. The caller on the other end, is the caterer who is calling to tells Mrs. Newman that the food will be arriving to the ranch as scheduled. When Phyllis hangs up, she realizes that the family are presenting her a surprise party. Olivia is pouring herself a cup of coffee when Drucilla comes into the breakfast nook. Grabbing a cup, Dru pours some coffee for herself. As she sits down at the table, she immediately starts to ask Olivia what happened at the hospital regarding Phyllis. Olivia tells her sister that nothing happened at the hospital and that she should stop reading into something simply because of her dislike for Phyllis. Dru says she doesn’t mince words when it comes to that troublemaker, and she knows that Olivia’s vibe changed the minute she walked out of her room.. Getting up from the table, Olivia tells Dru to stop with the interrogation; there’s nothing wrong, so leave well enough alone. Once alone in her room, Olivia begins to wonder if she has just cause to be curious about Phyllis and Nick where Summer is concerned. Paul thinks that Michael should approach Lowell regarding the letter. Michael isn’t so sure, especially after reading the letter again. Paul questions if Michael feels that he made a mistake in wanting to track his biological father. Michael admits that he just doesn’t know what all he wants to say to the man that has been out of his life for the majority of his life. Realizing that it’s tough for Michael to deal with, Paul asks him if he were separated from Fen for long periods of time, wouldn’t he want to at least have a start with him; to know how he’s been; if he’s happy. Sighing, Michael tells Paul that he’s afraid that he’ll wind up losing quality time with his son; something that later down the line could have his son resenting him for in the long run. Paul tells Michael he should face Lowell; once he does, the heavy weight of questions will be lifted off his shoulders. Victoria is surprised that Neil doesn’t like the presentation of Chaos; especially considering that Drucilla will be spokes modeling most of the promotions. Neil says that Ji Min is just too full of himself; and that’s something he isn’t impressed with. While he may have good ideas, he has an arrogance about him that could assume premature success on a project that hasn’t even gotten off the ground yet. Victoria points out that Neil is most likely just disliking Ji Min because of the way he was dismissed a few days back. Shaking his head, Neil comments that until Ji Min can drop a bit of the chip off his shoulder, then it’s going to be tense working together. Patting Neil on the back, Victoria advises that every new person that Neil works isn’t a ‘Brad Carlton.’ .Lily placed a tall latte in front of Colleen. When Colleen’s eyes connected with hers, Lily offered up her apology, and asked if she could sit down. Taking the latte, Colleen tells her to have a seat. Before Lily can begin to apologize, Colleen stops her by letting her know that she won’t have her friend going to her boyfriend anymore. Lily tells her that while she realizes that she shouldn’t have done that, she won’t apologize for caring for Colleen; just as Colleen tried caring for her. Smiling a little, Colleen realizes that there are some things that friends need to stay out of. Lily keeps her mouth closed when she notices that Colleen’s snack consists of a small bag of celery sticks. Michael and Paul are still discussing if they should drive to the bar to approach Lowell again with the knowledge that he is Michael’s father. As Michael is deciding what to do, Paul received a telephone call. When he is finished speaking, he informs Michael that someone has requested that he come back to Genoa City to take a case. Michael asks what could possibly be more important than helping him out in Atlanta. Paul tells him that it’s important for him to head back to Genoa City. Grabbing his suitcase, Paul makes his exit, leaving Michael to decide if he wants to confront Lowell with truth about who he is. NEXT on GENOA CITY Katherine is the one that called Paul home Cane asks Jill about her relationship with Jack Nicholas walks in on Brad and Sharon’s afternoon quickie
