    Colleen worries that Lily is changing for all the wrong reasons

    Lauren's day at Fenmore's was busy one. Three customers came in to pick up their alternated outfits, while another customer kept her busy with various questions on some of the clothing that she had displayed. Scratching her head, she almost wished she hadn't given Lily the day off. As she's straightening the racks of clothes, and checking to see if the fragrance bar was stocked, she didn't notice that Gloria walked in. Gloria approaches her, nearly scaring Lauren to death. When she catches her breath, she asks Gloria why she's there. Gloria said she wanted to find out why her daughter-in-law has been telling Michael to leave her high and dry. Lauren tells Gloria that it were time she learned to face the music without always expecting Michael to bail her out. Before leaving, Gloria tells Lauren not to punish Fen by keeping him away from his father.

    Victoria and Nikki, shortly after her doctor's appointment, make their way into the athletic club and sit at a table. Victoria orders a club soda, while Nikki asks for water with lemon. As the women are looking over the menu and talking, Brad walks in. Victoria glances at him and continues to look at her menu as if he doesn't exist. Nikki can sense a twinge of tension in her daughter, and tells her to remember what the doctor said; not to let stress get to her. Victoria agrees stating that the doctor was extremely positive of her overall check-up. Before the women can continue their conversation, Brad, overhearing their discussion approaches them and asks Victoria why he wasn't informed about her doctor's appointment. Victoria tells him that she is no longer his concern.

    JT stops into Crimson Lights to grab a cup of coffee when he spots Amanda sitting outside on the patio. Approaching her, he tells her how sorry he is for having to cancel their date with one another. Amanda asks him if he had serious business to deal with; JT quips that being a private investigator has its pitfalls. He asks her if there is anything he can do to make it up to her. Smiling a little, Amanda looks at him and tells him that if he wants to set things right between them, take her out tonight. Laughing a little, JT teases her by saying that she is definitely a woman with determination. He asks her if they should try again to go to the athletic club. Amanda takes him up on that offer and both leave for their date.

    As Lily waits in the waiting room of the doctor's office, she looks around to see if anyone was there that she knew. Sighing in relief, she picks up a magazine to look at. She didn't know exactly how she would pose her questions for the doctor when she met her. Wiping her hands a little, she continues to flip through the magazine. The receptionist calls her name and leads her into the doctor's office. As she is sitting there, she looks around and sees a poster of a young woman; in the poster she sees the 'before' and 'after'. The doctor, Dr.Joanna Cray, comes into the room and greets Lily. She soon asks Lily what brings her in. Lily begins to ask her questions on breast surgery. Dr. Cray asks if Lily is considering having breast implants. Smiling a little, Lily admits that it has been on her mind; however, she really came in to get information on the ups and downs of having it done. Opening her drawer, Dr Cray pulls out a few brochures and pamphlets for her to read over. She tells Lily to call her anytime if she still has questions.

    Ji Min didn't know why Victor wanted to see him, but he was curious to see what he could possibly want. Knocking on the door, Ji Min comes in and closes the door. Victor shakes his hand and has him take a seat across from him. Victor tells Ji Min how sorry he was in hearing that Jack let him go from Jabot; Ji Min shrugs off the mention of Jack and tells Victor that after some time, he believes that it was for the best. Smiling, Victor tells Ji Min that he has an opportunity that may make him happy. Looking at Victor, Ji Min asks him if he's going to be doing something that involves messing with Jack. Victor tells Ji Min that he has a legitimate job for him; and it doesn't concern Jack at all. He wants him to run a new division that will be part of NVP. Standing up, Ji Min shakes his hand, glad to accept the position.

    Coming into Crimson Lights, Lily quickly takes a seat next to Colleen. She immediately apologizes for being late, telling her best friend that she had an errand to run. Colleen waves off her tardiness and fills her in on Adrian returning home. Lily comments that she can tell that she's thrilled that he is home, but teases as to why she's not with him right now. Colleen laughs and prepares to get up to get a re-fill on he cappuccino. Lily stops her and tells her she'll get it, and in the process of getting up, she knocks of the folder that has the brochures. Colleen picks them up and sees that they are for breast implant surgery. Holding one on, she asks Lily why she has it. Taking it quickly out of her hand, Lily tells her that she only was curious as to how women go through the process. Colleen is about to say something, but Lily stops her and lies, telling her friend that she is only looking at the brochures, she's not truly considering breast implant surgery. When Lily goes to get the coffee, Colleen looks at her friend with concern.

    Lily contemplates getting a little added enhancement

    Drucilla and Sharon meet up for breakfast. As the two are awaiting their orders, Sharon asks Dru how she's liking working with Phyllis. Dru surprises Sharon, as well as herself, when she tells her that Phyllis has been easy to work with. Sharon, not able to hold back her feelings on the situation, tells Dru that the main reason why she was hired. Dru asks what she could be possibly talking about. Sharon points out that she had words with Phyllis when she was the family dinner party and found out that Phyllis intentionally had Nikki to agree to hire her as a way to get some cheap jabs at her expense. Dru asks if Phyllis was there when Nikki fired her. Sharon says that although she wasn't there, she knows that Phyllis was more than thrilled to find a way to stir up trouble in their friendship. Unable to enjoy her breakfast, Dru grabs her purse, set out to find her red-headed nemesis.

    Lily is arranging dresses on the racks at Fenmore's when she overhears two women talking about breast ehancement surgery. Trying not to be noticed, Lily continues to pretend to arrange the clothes. One woman expresses how after getting her breasts implants her sex life with her boyfriend has been amazing. The other woman, however, questions if doing something like that is worth trying to get love and affection from someone. Lily slips away into one of the fitting room, and while staring at herself in the mirror, begins to see if getting a breast job would be another way to make her more attractive to Daniel.

    Colleen is listening to music when she hears the doorbell ringing. Turning the music down, she walks to the door and opens it. She is speechless when Adrian smiles at her, scooping her up in his arms. She hugs him tight, asking him what brought him back so early. Kissing her lips, he teases that she was all he could think about. Plopping on the couch, she curls up against him and asks how the job went. He tells her that he had a wonderful experience but is more than happy to be home where he belongs.Colleen fills him in on the fact that JT is back; Adrian immediately asks her if he's been bothering her again. Colleen tells him that JT hasn't talked to her since after his arrival. She also mentions that Lily had been going through a rough patch with Daniel. As she is talking to him about Lily, she asks him if she changed her look would that make him love her more. Adrian tells her that the changing of one's appearance does not always get a person exactly what they want. Colleen tells Adrian that Lily could be headed for trouble.

    At the athletic club, Nikki and Victoria are enjoying a leisurely breakfast together. Victoria comments that she tried calling her at the suite but there was no answer. She asks her mother where she was. Nikki smiles a little bit but keeps mum. Staring at her mother, Victoria insists she spill the beans on her whereabouts. Nikki tells Victoria that she had a romantic dinner with Victor and spent the night afterwards. Victoria nearly spills her orange juice. Smiling at her mother, she tells her that she hopes that the evening is what she hoped for. As they eat, Victoria asks Nikki if she would come with her to her doctor's appointment. Nikki beams from ear to ear, telling her daughter she wouldn't deny her the honor of going with her.

    At Newman, Drucilla, on the hunt for Phyllis, spots her in the break room. Quickly closing the door behind her, she corners Phyllis. Phyllis, knowing that something is up, asks Dru what the problem is this time. Pointing a finger in her face, Dru tells Phyllis that she knows that she only hired her to make Sharon mad, as well as try to stir up trouble in their friendship. Phyllis places her coffee on the counter and tells Dru that she had her own motives for choosing her for the job. Dru is stunned that Phyllis doesn't deny her reasons for selecting her. Phyllis, however, gets the last say when she asks Dru that when she found that she was replacing Sharon, if she was secretly happy to be in the spotlight. When Dru doesn't say anything, Phyllis tells her that she needs to think of herself more, and a little less about Sharon if she wants the most sought after spokes model.

    At home, Lily is happy to see Daniel is waiting for her. When he kisses her, she smiles, telling him that she's been thinking about him all day. Daniel tells her that she's been on his mind since their early morming love session. Lily, thinking about the conversation she overheard, debates on whether to talk to Daniel about her thoughts on breast surgery. Sensing that something is on her mind, Daniel asks Lily to tell him what's up. Shrugging a little, she tries to play it off as nothing, however, Daniel truly wants to know what is on her mind. Lily tells him that she overheard a conversation about breast implants and questions if it's something that makes women more attractive. Daniel is stunned by the topic of conversation and can't seem to find the right words to say.

    Colleen: "Lily, are you serious?! Why are you even considering getting breast implants?"
    Lily: "I'm not getting them, I'm just reading information, chill.

    Victor: "Ji Min, I may have an job offer for you, if you are interested."

    Amanda: "You can make it up to me by taking me out tonight.
    JT: "Well, I can see you don't mess around.. When I say I owe you a date, you definitely collect that night."

    Nikki may not move in but opts to spend the night with Victor

    Amanda is all set for her date with JT. As she walks into the athletic club, she makes her way towards the bar, hoping that JT would arrive shortly. She's preparing to order a drink when she her cell phone chimes. Looking at the caller id, she smiles when it's JT. Her smile soon turns into a small frown when he explains that he can't make it to dinner after all due to a sudden assignment he was given. Amanda quickly tells JT that she truly understands and that maybe he can stop over when he's done. JT tells her that he will definitely make it a point to get there.

    Not that far from Amanda's sight, Michael and Gloria are having dinner together. Gloria glares in Amanda's direction and makes a comment about how Kevin couldn't get her to back down. Michael expresses his displeasure at the continuation of confronting the young woman. Michael tells Gloria that if she has any hopes of getting off she needs to stay away from Amanda. When Michael puts his hand th his forehead, Gloria asks Michael if he will in fact help her win the case. Taking his mother's hand, he tells her that she need not worry; he'll make it his number one priority in helping her win the case.

    At Fenmore's, Lauren is preparing to close up early when Katherine pays her a visit. Lauren is happy to see her and gives her friend a hug. As the two women talk, the subject of Michael comes up.Lauren tells Katherine that it disgusts her to see Michael bending over backwards for the woman that caused so much pain in so many lives. Katherine waits until Lauren has gotten everything off her chest. Katherine asks Lauren that if she were in serious trouble, would she want Michael to be there for her, even after knowing all that she has done; Lauren answer yes, but before she can interject, Katherine contines to talk to her. She tells her that no matter what, Michael will never stop loving her. She points out that Michael must do his job as the office of the courts and that his mother is the only one she can turn to.

    Outside of the athletic club,Amber, who is making her way to Devon's farewell party, bumps into Cane, who is coming in to pick up some carry-out. Cane, obviously still angry at what Amber did to him, tries to make a quick hello to her. Amber, however, wants to rub it in Cane's face that she is moving on to bigger and better things. Smiling a little, Amber tells him that she has plans of being well-known. and be a big star. Cane curtly tells her that's good for her, and proceeds to leave, but not before Amber boasts that her name will be far much well-known than Chancellor.

    Nikki, who is still taking refuge at one of the suites at the athletic club is completely surprised to receive a telephone call from Victor. She asks what has prompted him to contact her. Victor wants Nikki to stop over at the ranch. When she asks what it is in regards too, Victor simply tells her that it's a surprise and he hopes to see her soon. As they end their conversation, Nikki is more than willing to find out what the Great Victor Newman is up to.

    Neil and Drucilla are all excited to see the look on Devon's face when he comes in to his farewell party. Although he was well aware of the party, Dru still wanted to make it his night. Lily, who is at the party with Daniel is thrilled for her own reasons; no more Amber. When Devon finally arrives, Dru's mood is immediately beginning to sour. Standing at Devon's side is Amber, who was waiting for him to arrive so they could appear together. Neil, not wanting to dampen the mood, puts on a brave front and makes the best of the celebration. Lily and Daniel, however, are curious to see what Dru will do. Dru approaches Devon and gives him a warm embrace, kissing him on the cheek. When Devon is out of earshot, Dru makes her way over to Amber, telling her that if she were any type of woman, she would leave; after all, it's a family celebration. Feeling uncomfortable, Amber makes up an excuse and leaves the party. Neil locks eyes on Dru and merely shakes his head at her.

    Cane's carry-out order arrives and as he's about to leave, he accidentally bumps into Amanda, who is preparing to leave. Helping her collect the things that fell out of her purse, he apologizes for being in such a rush. She waves it off and smiles at him, telling him she's fine. Smiling back, Cane offers to buy her a drink. Checking her watch, Amanda tells him that she has to get going but maybe some other time if she sees him. As she is leaving, Cane can do nothing but smile as he watches her leave.

    At the Newman ranch, Nikki, who was surprised with a intimate dinner, tells Victor that she really had a good time with him. Taking her in his arms, Victor kisses her lightly on the lips. Holding her close, he asks her if she wants to move back home; stating that it is time for them to get back together. Nikki pulls away briefly and tells Victor that she is not comfortable with moving back in; that there is a lot of things that need to worked on in their relationship. Victor kisses her again, this time letting her know exactly how much he wants her to be with him. Whispering in his ear, Nikki tells him that although she turned him down to move back home, it doesn't mean that she can't spend the night with him. Taking his hand, she leads him to the bedroom, where they give each other a night to remember.

    Dru: "You want to tell me what in the hell you are up too now, Phyllis?
    Phyllis: "What are you talking about?
    Dru: "For once fess up, Phyllis. Did you or did you not hire me to piss off Sharon?"

    Victoria: "What is with this smile on your face, mom?
    Nikki: "Shhh, Victoria, lower your voice. (Looking around) I stayed the night with your father."

    Lily listening in on the conversation

    Woman#1: "I'm telling you, sometimes getting a breast job is the one sure fire way to get any man's attention."
    Woman#2: "But seriously, though, do you think that getting a breast job is the best way to get someone to love you more?
    Woman#1: "Let's just say, after I got the operation, my man hasn't been able to keep his eyes or hands off me.

    Jill is floored to learn Ji Min has been fired

    At the Abbott estate, Jack is finishing up breakfast when he hears the doorbell ring. Checking his watch, he quickly makes his way to the door and frowns upon seeing Brad on the other end. Jack tells Brad he has no time to talk to him, since he is heading off to work. Smirking a little, Brad tells Jack that now that he's working at Jabot, maybe they can carpool together. Jack tells Brad that the day he accepts a ride from him is the day hell freezes over. Grabbing his briefcase, Jack slides past Bradly and opts to take his own car to work.

    Michael, who is preparing to meet Lauren for breakfast, tells Gloria that he will be home some time in the day. When he walks out, Gloria tells Kevin that she doesn't like how Michael has been acting. Kevin doesn't understand what she means. Sighing alittle, Gloria tells Kevin that not once today or yesterday has Michael made mention of what ways he was going to plan on defending her. Kevin realizes that Michael may in fact be having second thoughts in defending their mother, and assures her that once he comes home, they will stress how he is the only one that they have faith in.

    Colleen stops by to have breakfast with Lily. Lily, still cloud nine after her night with Daniel, is unable to keep her excitement under control. She boasts to Colleen that the outfit that she bought on their shopping trip was the right thing to get Daniel's attention back on her. When Colleen asks her what she means by that, Lily tells her that Daniel couldn't keep his hands off of her. Colleen isn't sure that dressing sexier is the right approach to get Daniel's attention back on her. Lily tells Colleen that she will do whatever it takes to keep Daniel's mind on her and off of looking at other women. Shaking her head a little, Colleen advises her friend to be careful about using tricks to get Daniel's attention.

    At the athletic club, Michael and Lauren are talking as they dine on breakfast. Michael asks how Fen is doing, expressing how much he misses him. Lauren tells him that he's getting bigger every day, and that hopefully Michael will soon have a part in his life. The two eat in silence for a moment when Lauren brings up the subject of Gloria, asking if Christine has started making a strategy plan for Gloria's case. Michael looks up at her and tells her that Christine isn't going to be taking the case. Staring at him, Lauren immediately realizes that Michael has decided to defend his mother. She asks him point blank if he's going to once again bail his mother out. He tells her that it is exactly what he is doing. Grabbing her purse, Lauren walks away.

    On the other side of town, Jill is coming downstairs to have breakfast. When she sees that Katherine is there, she coldly sits down and doesn't say a word to her. Katherine can tell that Jill is in one of her famous foul moods, but instead of asking her what is troubling her, Katherine tells her about Cane getting along well in his new job. Jill glares at Katherine and mutters something under her breath about how it must be nice to 'magically erase all her wrong-doings'. Shaking her head, Katherine decides not to even make mention of her comment. Instead she informs Jill that Ji Min called telling her that as of yesterday, he was fired by Jack.

    Brad finds Jack in his office, and in another attempt to get his goat, steps inside to talk to him. Jack tells Brad that he's not fooling anyone by trying to work at Jabot; he is well aware that Brad took Newman money to leave the company. Sniffing a little, Brad tells Jack that regardless of what he knows, he should focus on the fact that he's at Jabot, and wont be going anywhere. When Brad proceeds to leave, Jack mutters not to be too sure about that.

    When Michael returns home, he catches both Gloria and Kevin off guard with his feisty attitude. Michael tells Gloria that they will be staying up late to plan her defense, and will need a lot of information to deflect any possible blame on her. Kevin and Gloria are thrilled to hear that Michael will in fact be taking on the case. Kevin immediately goes into the kitchen to bring out a bottle of wine. As they are celebrating the news, Kevin hears the doorbell and immediately answers it. A court appointed messenger hands him an envelope and leaves. Michael asks who it was. Kevin, opening the letter, reads that Gloria's trial has been slanted for June 22.

    Jill, upon hearing about the firing of Ji Min, barges into Jack's office, slamming the door behind her. She demands to know what posessed him to fire him. Jack, not batting an eye, tells Jill that Ji Min Kim is un-trustworthy and his services are no longer needed. Jill insists that Jack call Ji Min and give him his job back, but Jack stands his ground and tells Jill that she is in no authority to tell him what to do. When she blinks back at his words, he smirks letting her know that Jabot power is in the hands of someone new, and that all decisions made are final.

    Lauren takes her anger about Michael out on Lily

    At Fenmore’s, Lauren is agitated at the fact that Michael chose his mother over rebuilding his relationship with her. The door to the boutique opens and she’s shocked to see Lily coming in wearing a min-skirt and a tight fitting shirt. Lily greets Lauren, but instead of getting a warm greeting she’s used to, Lily instead gets told about her choice in clothing. Blinking a little, Lily is hurt that Lauren is judging her on how she looks.

    Jill is having coffee in her office when Jack comes in to drop off a few Jabot figures for her to look at. Before he can leave, Jill asks him to stay for a moment, since she wants to talk to him a little. When she closes the door, she asks Jack to reconsider his choice in letting Ji Min go. Jack barks that his decision is final and that if she doesn’t stop pushing him, he’ll make things harder for her. Jill barks back that he should think twice about making threats against her.

    Kevin and Gloria are trying to have lunch together at the athletic club, but can’t fully enjoy their meal due to the constant scrutiny of other dining patrons. Putting her fork down, Gloria tells Kevin that she’s scared that the trial will not go well. Kevin too voices his fears, and tells her that Michael will have to pull out all the stops to win. Gloria suggests to Kevin to go talk to Amanda again and persuade the young lady to drop the charges against her.

    At Chancellor Industries, Michael pays Katherine an impromptu visit. She asks him how things are going with the upcoming trial for Gloria. He tells her that the date has been set for June 22. Katherine doesn’t mince words when she tells him that Gloria deserves whatever justice is being sought. Michael changes the topic when he asks her for a favor: talk to Lauren to get her to understand why he has to be there for his mother. Katherine tells him that she will talk to her, however, its Lauren’s choice to follow her heart.

    Brad makes an appearance to Jill, hoping to discuss more of his idea for Jabot. A distracted Jill, still pissed about Jack’s threat, tells Brad that he chose the wrong time to come in to her office. Not fazed by the latest mood of Jill, continues on and begins to show her his ideas. Looking at him, Jill tells Brad that if he wants to run with the idea, go for it; he’s in charge. Brad smiles, pleased that he will have his chance to shine.

    Daniel walks into Fenmore’s and slides up to surprise an unsuspecting Lily. Daniel, looking at Lily’s latest outfit, gets feisty and begins to kiss her in public. Lauren
    comes out from the back room and immediately breaks up the love session, telling Daniel that his behavior is not tolerated in a place of business. Daniel tries to apologize, but Lauren tells him that it would be best if he left and met Lily when she came home. Shortly after he leaves, Lauren, realizing her behavior, sincerely apologizes to Lily.

    Sharon calls Brad and asks him if he wants to meet her for lunch. He tells her that he would be happy to meet her for lunch. As the two are talking, Sharon tells him that Nikki fired her as the NVP spokes model and Phyllis gave the position to Drucilla. Brad tells Sharon that he may have a job opportunity for her at Jabot. Sharon is surprised that he has a job there. Brad tells her that when they meet for lunch, he will tell her everything and then some.

    Kevin heads over to Crimson Lights to check on some orders that are set to come in the following morning. When he walks in, he spots Amanda at a table drinking coffee. Thinking about his mother’s scared tone; he debates if he wants to have another possible confrontation with the determined woman. When he approaches her, it is clear that she is in no mood for him. Kevin once again asks Amanda to drop the case against his mother. Amanda, however, tells Kevin that there is no way she’s going to do that; in fact, she’s going to have sheer joy in testifying against her to see justice served.

    A party at the Newman's stirs up romance as well as trouble for those in attendance

    At Jabot, Jack, who is still on the warpath at all those who have betrayed him, sets his sights on Ji Min. Dialing his office phone, he instructs Ji Min to come into his office. When Ji Min comes into the office, Jack sets up a conversation about trust, and asks what Ji Min would do if an employee of his broke that trust. Not understanding, JiMin questions what is going on. Jack tells JiMin that he knows that he teamed up with Victor to expose him for owning Jabot. Ji Min immediately denies having anything to do with it; however, Jack tells him that he knows he's lying and tells him that as of that moment, he no longer works for him.

    At Phyllis' and Nick's, the family are arriving for the dinner party. Daniel and Lily are the first to arrive. Nick compliments Lily on her outfit, which gets Daniel's attentions drawn to her. He tells her that she's looking hot tonight and can't wait to return home for 'dessert of their own. When Nikki and Victor arrive, she hugs her son, and comments to Phyllis that she should have notified her on the guest list; considering the fact that she could have helped make the suggestion of un-inviting one person from that list. Nick tells his mother to cool it; Sharon is Noah's mother, and she has every right to be there with her son if she wants to.

    At the Chancellor mansion, Cane and Katherine are talking about his first week at Chancellor Industries. He admits to being nervous about screwing up; Katherine assures him that he will do just fine. Katherine admits that she wants to do all she can to make up for the life she stole from him. As the two of them are talking, Jill comes home, and hears them talking. Rather than joining them, she holds back, listening in on their conversation.

    Victoria is the next to arrive, and she brings along Abby, who wanted to come to play with Noah. As Nick and she are talking, Nick asks Daniel to go round up Noah to join Abby. As Daniel is heading for the stairs, he lingers a stare in Lily's direction, obviously attracted to the way she's looking. Victoria, seeing her mother, tells Nikki her displeasure of learning that Sharon would be coming to dinner as well. Victor, listening in on the conversation tells Victoria that despite their feelings, the purpose for coming to dinner is to be a family together. When Victor leaves to talk to Abby and Noah, Nikki quips that Sharon should just stay her narrow behind at home.

    Phyllis, who is tending to Summer, sees that tension is already mounting, and closes her eyes, hoping that Nick's night for a family dinner is a successful one. Cooing at her daughter, she walks over to Daniel, who has returned to Lily's side. She asks her how things are going. When she sees that Daniel's focus is on Lily, she makes her way towards Nikki, handing Summer to her. Phyllis tells Nikki that she wants to go over the photo shoot concept that she thought of for the upcoming week. Before they can continue the conversation, the doorbell rings. Everyone stops talking after Nick opens the door to let Sharon in.
    Nikki and Victoria glance at each other, both giving silent messages of how 'fun' it's going to be with Sharon in attendance.

    Cane tells Katherine that he has forgiven her for the terrible mistake she's made. He points out that his life with his father was a hard one, however, he rose above it to be the man that he is now. Katherine still explains that if she hadn't done what she did, he would have been in the presence of a loving family much sooner. Cane quiets her with a tender embrace and tells her that at this moment, she's shown him as much love as she could possibly show. Jill, who is still listening, is upset at hearing his loving words for the woman that gave him away. Not wanting to create a fight, she decides to go upstairs.

    Noah immediately runs to his mother, giving her a hug and asks why she's late. She tells her son that she had to go home after work to get changed. Nikki, fake with sincerity, tells Sharon that it's nice to see her. Sharon bypasses her and says hello to Daniel and Lily. Phyllis, quickly trying to defuse any possible friction, tells everyone dinner is ready. As they all sit at the table, Daniel whispers to Lily that he's getting turned on by the outfit she is wearing. Lily reminds him that they are at his mother's home; Daniel tells her that maybe they should eat and split early. Across the table, Victoria glares at Sharon, still ticked at how her sister-in-law set out to pursue her husband. Nikki makes an off handed comment about Sharon, to which Nick hears. He tells Noah and Abby that they can take their dinner up to Noah's room. When the children are out of sight, Victor tells everyone to get their acts together and focus on having a good time together.

    Throughout dinner, Daniel keeps his eyes on Lily. When they are finished eating, he quickly tells his mother and the rest of those in attendance that Lily and he must be heading home. Phyllis asks why such the hurry; Nick, however, simply smirks, knowing exactly why Daniel is opted to head home. Once they are gone, silence immediately fills the room Nikki, knowing that it's a sore subject for Sharon, brings up to Phyllis about the photo shoot for Dru. Phyllis, unknowingly begins to tell Nikki about the possible ideas for the shoot. Victoria, knowing of Sharon's firing, purposely makes a comment to Phyllis, telling her that she made a wise choice in selecting Dru for the position. Sharon, who is talking to Nick at the time of the discussion, glares at Phyllis. She accuses Phyllis of merely hiring Dru to cause friction within their friendship. Phyllis, not being able to contain herself, tells Sharon that she chose Dru because she has talent; and that she would be a more positive representation to NVP. Slamming her napkin down, Sharon grabs her coat and walks out.

    Upstairs at Daniel and Lily's, Daniel is whispering in Lily's ear about how hot she's been looking. Smiling at him, she tells him she has another surprise for him. She goes into the bathroom and returns shortly in a satiny baby doll. Pulling Lily towards him, Daniel slowly kisses her. Latching her fingers into his hair, Lily tells Daniel how much she's in love with him. He whispers that he's in love with her, and kisses her again. Letting out a soft moan, Lily tells Daniel to make love to her. Sliding her on the bed, he flickers off the lights and gently removes the baby doll that she modeled for him; more than happy to please her into the wee hours of the morning.

Nicholas asks her what is wrong. Phyllis tells Nick that she doesn't think its a good idea if Sharon is there based on what all has been going on. She says she doesn't want her there and Victoria certainly doesn't want her there. She says it will only stir up more trouble and this dinner is supposed to be a way of trying to put that aside for a bit.

Sighing a little, she glances over at the picture of the two of them. A light knock at the door stops her from daydreaming any further. Without looking up she tells the person to come in. When she glances up, all she can see is a huge bouquet of flowers staring back at her.

    Gloria and Kevin are not amused by Michael’s suggestion to have someone else representing her in her case.

He asks her why they can’t work on things. Lauren tells him that she can’t stay with a man that has lied and covered up things from her. She tells him that if he ever wants to have a chance at reconciling he has only one choice; stop defending and protecting Gloria. He tells her that he can’t just turn his back on his mother; Lauren says that if he wants to be a part of her life, as well as Fen’s, he will need to let Gloria pay for all her crimes.

    Amber meets up with Devon. Handing her a caramel latte, he asks her how long she’s been singing. She tells him that she’s been singing since she was a young girl; it’s the best release she has when she wants to pour her heart out. Devon admits to hearing her sing while she was in the shower and expresses how wonderful her voice is. Blushing, Amber eats up the compliment.

Devon tells Lily that if she wants Amber gone, he may have the exact opportunity to make that happen. He quickly excuses himself to go make a phone call.

    The debate between Randall and Jack is in full swing. People all over Genoa City are either listening at the actual debate, or have turned on their television sets to see what is to come. The debate turns ugly when Randall slams Jack for being a man that lacks integrity and family values. Jack tries to defend himself, stating that his father has always taught him the meaning of being a man of honesty and integrity; both in business and within the family. Randall asks Jack if he thought it was honest and a sign of integrity when he purposely forged a new will to oust his father’s wife out of anything that was owed her. Randal continues on to say that it must have been that same ‘integrity’ that had him plot and scheme to use another man to front his buying back the company he was tossed out from. Jack is completely numb as photographers snap images of his world falling apart around him.

Both decline to comment and go into the break room and shut the door. Brad demands to know why she suddenly decided to spill the beans about the affair.

    Jill publicly gives Gloria her walking papers

    The town of Genoa City is in a buzz the following morning, as news hits about the arrest of Gloria Fisher Abbott. The minute Jill steps off the elevator of Jabot; she is immediately swarmed by reporters demanding to know what Jabot plans to do in regards to Gloria. Trying her best to shoo them away, she is rescued by Ji Min, who announces to the reporters that they will discuss everything in a press conference. Once inside her office, Jill tells Ji Min that she needs to call Katherine. The more help they have in getting the sudden press conference together, the better.

    Across town, Lauren is reading the Genoa City Times, completely stunned at the news she’s reading about Gloria. She doesn’t have to guess where Michael or Kevin are; they are definitely with their mother. Taking a look at the newspaper again, she debates on whether to go to the police station or to await their arrival. Either way, Lauren was about to find out what in the world Gloria could have been thinking when she decided to ruin so many lives.

    Jack and David are at Newman Enterprises, discussing ways that they can avoid serious damage to the campaign, thanks to Gloria’s skin cream contamination. Both agree that the best plan of salvaging his campaign is to get the press to focus on Gloria’s hate towards Jack and how she went to great lengths to destroy him. David feels that once the press knows how devious she is, they will paint Jack as the victim. Jack tells David to do whatever he can to get the press back on his side.

    At the police station, Michael and Kevin are allowed to see Gloria. She immediately runs to them, tears filling her eyes. Kevin tells Gloria that if they need to raise the bail money, he will be more than willing to put up Crimson Lights as a way to get her out of jail. Michael tells Kevin that he will take care of everything; including legal representation. He leaves Kevin and Gloria to talk to one another. Moments pass when Michael returns with Maggie Sullivan. She informs Gloria that bail has been set and she is free to go home.

    Brad makes an appearance at Sharon’s house. Sharon asks him why the sudden need to come by. Brad let’s Sharon know that Victoria confronted him about the two of them. She asks how Victoria found out; Brad tells her that only one person would be more than happy to spill the beans. Sharon begins to talk trash about Phyllis. Brad says he will do whatever it takes to make Phyllis pay for her underhanded schemes. Sharon wonders what Brad could possibly have in store.

    Randall and Victor are at the Newman ranch talking about the Jabot skin cream case. Victor feels that this is the right information they need to cripple Jack. Randall questions if this will truly break Jack’s spirits and break up his campaign? Victor points out that he knows that Jack is doing all he can to keep his name squeaky clean, therefore, they use whatever they can to discredit Jack; and the one sure fire way is by bringing up his dirty dealings where Jabot is concerned. He wants to depict Jack as being a man who would resort to the most devious tactics to get what he wants. Randall asks where they should begin. Victor pulls out a file of all things Jack Abbott.

    Lauren is immediately full of questions when Gloria and her sons arrive. Gloria, in full denial mode, tells Lauren that someone had to have ‘framed’ her for the skin cream contamination. Michael tries to reassure his wife that he will do whatever he can to defend Gloria; pointing out that strong evidence is needed to make a conviction, and a DNA test alone doesn’t necessarily mean that she was the one to contaminate the cream. As they are talking, Kevin, who has turned on the television, announces that Jill and Ji Min are holding a press conference. Rushing to take a seat, Gloria is more than curious as to what the two of them will have to say concerning her arrest and Jabot.

    Jill and Ji Min are answering questions from the media about the arrest of Gloria. Katherine, who is on the sidelines, is proud that the two of them are holding their own against some of the damaging questions being thrown their way. One reporter asks if Ji Min had any reservations in taking Jabot shortly after the contamination. He informs the reporters that when he took Jabot, he was well aware of what had happened, and hoped to have succeeded in getting the company’s reputation back on track. Another reporter asks Jill what Jabot plans on doing about Gloria Fisher, now that she has been exposed. Not hesitating one bit, a furious Jill looks straight into the camera as she announces that as of this moment, Gloria Fisher Abbott is no longer an employee with Jabot Cosmetics.

    In Montana, Nikki is relaxing when she hears a knock on her door. Slipping on her shoes, she heads for the door. When she opens it, she is more than surprised to see her daughter standing on the other side. Nikki asks Victoria what she’s doing in Montana. Before she can get the words out, Victoria bursts into tears, and locks on to her mother in an embrace.

Maggie points out that she was there till the tests were finalized, therefore, nothing was compromised. She also tells him to face the fact that his mother is being arrested. Gloria looks at her son with pleading eyes, as Maggie cuffs her and begin reading her rights. Maggie leads Gloria out the door to head for the police station.

    Nick, sitting on the couch of his home, is looking at his cell phone; contemplating on whether to call Victoria or not. He ran his hands through his hair, angry at so many people that affected his sister's life: angry at Brad and Sharon for being so careless; angry at Phyllis for knowing for such a long time and using it to get what she wanted, and then himself for not going to her soon enough with what he knew. Flipping the phone open, he dialed her number. When she answer the phone, he tries to ask her how she is, but she immediately tells him she doesn't want to talk to him and hangs up. Sighing, he dials her number one more time. This time, it just rings and rings. Sitting the phone on the table, he closes his eyes, wondering what his sister is going to do. When Phyllis comes downstairs, Nick tells her that he told Victoria everything regarding Brad. Phyllis asks how she's holding up. Nick tells her that that is none of her concern.

    At her home, Victoria sits her cell phone down on the coffee table, arms folded across her chest. While she wasn't outright angry at Nick for telling her about her husband's dirty deeds, she wasn't in any mood being analyzed by him. Just the thought of Sharon in bed with her husband mere weeks after their wedding made Victoria's stomach lurch. Looking at the clock on the wall, she knew that Bad would be arriving home soon. She was more than determined to wipe the look of happiness off is face the minute he walked in the door. She wanted answers and she's determined to get them.

    At the athletic club, Devon and Amber are sitting across from each other, eating. Amber asks Devon if he ever feels like he's in the middle with everything that is going on between Lily and Daniel. Devon explains that Lily will always be a large part of his life, and when she hurts, so does he. He asks Amber why she created Strangers By Night to begin with; she tells him that it was all for fun and not anything she thought would become be 'well received'. The two continue talking, not realizing that two sets of eyes were on the two of them.

    When Brad walks in the door, he notices that Victoria is sitting on the couch. Walking towards her, he prepares to kiss his wife, however, when he goes in for the kiss, she moves her head and gets up off of the couch. He immediately senses tension in the room and questions what the matter is. Victoria asks Brad if he saw Sharon today. Looking puzzled, he questions why that question would come up. Not missing a beat, Victoria tells him that she merely wants to know if he's been sniffing around his mistress. When he doesn't respond to the statement, she turns up the heat by telling him that she knows that Brad and Sharon had an affair while in New York. He immediately curses under his breath that Phyllis couldn't keep her mouth shut. Victoria asks him if it is true. Brad tells her that it is, however, it was only one night and he made a commitment for life with Victoria; the woman he loves. Victoria gives her cheating husband a slap for good measure and heads upstairs.

    Back at the Romalotti home, Daniel insists to Lily that he isn't interested in Amber. Lily says she isn't so sure, making a point of telling him how his whole demeanor changes whenever she is in the room with him. He tells her that Amber is not even a factor in his life, but Lily is. Trying not to let her voice break, Lily questions if he finds Amber attractive. Growing upset, Daniel tells Lily that she can ask all the questions in the world regarding Amber, but the answer would still be the same; he's not attracted to her.

    At the Genoa City Police Department, Gloria is placed in the interrogation room. Maggie begins to ask her questions about her time spent in the lab the week of the contamination. Gloria tells Maggie she is not saying one word until Michael arrives. Det. Sullivan, not one to give up on getting the goods on someone, asks how Gloria could sit back and say nothing knowing that a woman had died because of her. Not giving in to the detective's tactics, Gloria continues to stay quiet. Picking up her pen and pad, Maggie tells Gloria that she will be back shortly. The minute Maggie is gone, Gloria can feel herself falling apart, as she silently asks John to give her 'strength'.

    Michael, who has been prohibited from seeing Gloria, is on the phone telling Kevin of all that has happened. Kevin, who is frantic on the other end of the phone, tells his brother that he will be there right away. As he flips the phone closed, he sees Maggie exiting the interrogation room. Michael demands to be let in to see his mother. Unfortunately, Maggie, not being in the mood, tells Michael that there is no way that Gloria will any visitors tonight. Walking away, Michael calls Lauren and tells her that he'll be home late.

    At the athletic club, Dru can't believe who is together with one another. Dru immediately alerts Neil, who is talking to Gina. Dru refuses to let 'trash' be a part of her children's lives. Neil, who sees the two of them at the table, agrees that Amber is the last person that Devon needed to get involved with. Without hesitation, Dru barges up on the two of them. Glaring at Amber, she tells her that no 'gold-digging' conniving tramp is going to wrap herself around her son. Neil tells Devon to follow him for a talk. The minute Devon leaves with Neil, Dru gives Amber a heated warning. When Amber tells her she's doing nothing wrong, Dru tells her she'll be doing a lot worse if she catches her around her son again. Out in the hall, Neil gives Devon a warning about being too trusting of Amber.

    Kevin rushes into the police station and spots Michael. He immediately asks him what is going on and if they can see their mother. Michael fills him in all about the DNA testing being conducted and how the wall are closing around Gloria. Kevin immediately tells Michael he has to be her lawyer, it's the only way that he can possibly get her off. Shaking his head, Michael points out that even if he represented her, he, along with Kevin, could all face harsh reality for covering up the truth. Both men go to Maggie to ask if they can see Gloria. Maggie denies their request and tell them that when they come to see her tomorrow, she should have her lawyer present. Maggie heads back into the interrogation room and informs Mrs.. Fisher that she will need to stay in jail overnight. She too reminds Gloria that when morning comes, she will need to get in contact with a lawyer.

    At the Carlton's, Brad tries to get Victoria to understand that his night with Sharon was one night. Not listening to a word he is saying she throws clothing in a suitcase. Brad said that when she slept with JT, he learned to forgive her, so why can't she do the same for him. Turning on her heels, she barks that when she slept with JT, they broke off their engagement. She tells Brad that the difference between he and her is that she didn't go sniffing around another man a week after getting married. Walking down the stairs, Victoria tells Brad that since he finds his tryst with Sharon no big deal, he shouldn't care in the least that she's leaving him for a while.

    Katherine: What on God’s green Earth was Gloria thinking? To deliberately destroy John’s legacy the ways she did?
    Jill: I have one good guess: Jack Abbott.

    Devon's houseguest has Daniel seeing red

    Sharon walks into the Newman break room to see Phyllis pouring a cup of coffee. Sharon informs Phyllis that Noah talked to her about the arguments that he’s witnessed between she and Nick, and voices concern about his being caught in the middle. Phyllis tells Sharon that all children see parents arguing from time to time. Sharon reminds Phyllis that she is his mother, and as a parent, she wants to make sure her son doesn’t have to endure hearing or seeing their bickering. As she is walking out the door, Nick comes in and sees that Phyllis is upset. He asks her if she got into another argument with Sharon. Phyllis points out that Sharon doesn’t want Noah exposed to their arguments. Nick agrees and tells Phyllis for the sake of Noah, they will work on their issues in private.

    At the Baldwin home, Gloria is finding every excuse to keep from going to Jabot to do the DNA testing. Michael tells her that the walls are closing in on her and she might as well face the fact that William Bardwell and his trusty detectives will get that DNA testing; either by cooperation or by court order. Gloria seethes that Jack is the cause of all of this; and that if John were alive, he would never allow them to do this to her. Michael points out that if John were in fact still alive, she might be out on her butt once he learned of how devious she was. Grabbing her purse, Gloria realizes that Michael is right. She tells him that she will go to Jabot, take the test and hope that all fingers will point in another direction.

    At the Abbott estate, Jack is on the phone with someone that wants to set up a one on one lunch meeting with him. At first, Jack is leery of the idea, however, remembering David’s advice on getting the citizens of Genoa City to see him as a candidate that cares about their views, decides to meet her at the G.C.A.C. When he hangs up the phone, he picks up the newspaper, looking at the latest developments of the skin cream case; the same case that lost him the company he loved.

    Daniel is not pleased seeing the sudden closeness between Amber and Devon. As the two of them talk, Daniel cuts in, asking why Amber is there to begin with. Devon tells Daniel that Amber needed someone to talk to, and thought he’d invite her over to take her minds off her troubles. Seeing another opportunity to ‘milk’ her situation, Amber laments that now that Cane has kicked her out of the apartment, she doesn’t have enough money to stay somewhere. Before Daniel can even get a word in, Devon tells Amber that she can stay there for the night. Excusing herself, she goes upstairs to the bathroom. The minute she is gone, both guys start to argue with one another about Amber. Lily, who is coming in, happens to see the heated exchange, and is upset as to why both would be arguing over Amber of all people.

    Nick stops by Victoria’s house to see how things are going for her; especially on her day off. When she opens the door, she greets her younger brother, asking what brings him over. He tells her he merely wanted to see how his sister is doing. Victoria gushes about celebrating her one year anniversary with Brad. Nick asks her if she is truly happy with Brad. She tells him that Brad is the one for her; that he truly loves her. Nick grows quiet, unsure if he should tell her the truth about who Brad really is. Sensing his distance, she asks him what is on his mind. Nick tells her that he found out that Sharon and Brad had a tryst a week after their wedding. Victoria is furious at what Nick is saying, and accuses him of lying to her. When he tells her that Sharon confirmed it, she demands that he leave her alone. Once gone, Victoria collapses on the couch in tears.

    At the G.C.A.C. Jack meets up with the young lady that contacted him for their one on one. Smiling, he takes a seat across from her and tells her she can ask him whatever she wishes to regarding his plans if he is elected Senator. Taking her opportunity, she asks Jack about Jabot, and if the scandal surrounding the company would affect his chances of being Senator. Jack is hesitant to answer and immediately directs a question in her direction. He asks her what her name is. Extending her hand, she tells him that she is Amanda Gibson; the daughter of the family he destroyed. When Jack gathers his words, he tells Amanda that he was not the cause of her mother’s death. Amanda, not interested in his excuses, tells him that she will be the one responsible in ruining any chances he has in winning the senate seat.

    Back at the Baldwin house, Gloria and Michael are sitting in silence after returning from taking the DNA test. Gloria tells Michael that she has nothing to worry about; once the testing comes back negative, they can divert their attentions on the real culprit: Jack Abbott. Michael receives a phone call from Lauren, and heads to the other room. Alone, Gloria walks over to a picture of John. Picking it up, she looks at it, telling him that she will be strong. Holding it close to her, she continues to talk herself into believing that she will be safe from blame. Moments later, the doorbell rings. Michael, who has ended his call, opens the door to see Det. Maggie Sullivan. Maggie informs Michael that after getting the DNA results back, they are ready to make an arrest. Michael asks who the person is that is going to be arrested. Maggie, holding the warrant, tells Michael that Gloria’s DNA matched and she has to take her in.

Just then Daniel walks in and wonders why his mom looks so stressed and why she is at his house. She smiles and says that Summer wanted to see her big brother and she wanted to know how things were with Lily. Daniel tells his mother that he doesn't think Lily will ever trust him again and wants to know if she has any advice.

Then there is a knock at the door. Michael asks who it is and its William Bardwell. He opens the door.

Kevin makes mention that none of this mess would have happened if it weren't for Jack Abbott's callous and insensitive behavior towards others. Across the way, Amanda lets a small smile play at her lips at Kevin's words of dislike towards the man that cost her family everything.

Michael, who is just as on edge as she is, tells her that there was not much he could do to prevent the case from being re-opened. She questions if all eyes are focused on Jack, since he's still considered the number one target. Michael tells her that regardless of how much they hate Jack, he is not the one they are waiting on. When she questions what he is talking about, Michael tells her that only two Jabot employees are in need of DNA testing: Jill and herself.

    Daniel: Mom, I don't know how I'm going to get Lily to ever trust me again.

    Neil (chuckling): Are you telling me that your mom was actually trying to play matchmaker?
    Lily: Dad, it's not funny. Why can't she stop meddling in my life?
    Neil: You of all people should know that your mom is front and center in anything that concerns her children.

    At Newman Enterprises, Phyllis walks into the break room and sees Nick pouring a cup of coffee. Closing the door behind her, she teases him by asking him if he has a cup for her. He pretends not to hear the joke and takes a seat at the table. Sensing that things are still not right between them, she sits across from him and demands to know what his trouble is. Putting the cup down, he stares at her, asking if she's seriously asking a question as such. He tells her that ever since she took it upon herself to hold Brad's affair with Sharon over their heads, she's caused nothing but trouble for the Newman family. Phyllis tries to deflect the blame by stating that Brad and Sharon were the cause of that, however, Nick's not hearing it. He slams Phyllis for manipulating the situation to her advantage, and because of her, he can't do anything that will hurt his sister.

    Later that day, Paul is at the G.C.A.C. when Michael approaches him. Sitting beside him, Michael asks Paul what he has to share with him regarding the case. Paul tells him that all DNA testing on the Jabot employees came back negative. Sighing a little, Michael tells him that it most likely will mean that William will not have anything to resume the case. Shaking his head, Paul stops Michael's thought quickly, by adding that there are two Jabot employees that still need to be tested: Jill and Gloria. A sick feeling suddenly washes over Michael at announcement of his mother's name.
