John Silva is requested to supenoa Sharon Drucilla and Phyllis, upon being busted by Jack, try to come up with a weak attempt to cover up the fact that they are scoping information from them. Jack chatises Phyllis for going as low as teaming up with her ‘common’ enemy to get the goods about their project. Brad, Sharon and Jill, hearing the commotion, come upon the scene and are not at all surprised that they are trying to gather information in order to get the upper hand against them. Sharon, is even more stunned that Dru would even be helping Phyllis to begin with. As everyone is arguing, Neil comes into the athletic club and zooms in on the commotion. Stopping at Crimson Lights to get coffee and to have a friendly ear, Michael makes his way to the counter where Kevin is working. Kevin tells Michael that he really needs to see Gloria. Waving his hand, Michael tells him that he has far more on his plate than to pay Gloria a visit. Seeing that Michael is obviously stressed, Kevin picks his brain in hopes of finding out what is troubling him. Loosening his tie, Michael tells Kevin that Lauren already issued out divorce papers on him without any warning. Sighing, Kevin starts to slam her, but is immediately cut off by Michael. He tells his brother that despite what she did, he will not hear anyone bad mouth her. Kevin apologizes but tells him that if he wants to have a life with Fen in it, he’ll need to do whatever to get that message across to Lauren. Jill stops by the Chancellor mansion to drop off a few things, in hopes not to see Katherine. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get her wish when she sees Katherine coming into the living room. When Katherine sees Jill, she immediately tells her about a photograph she found of Philip. Not in the mood to talk, Jill hastily tells Katherine to get to the point. Handing her the photo, she asks if Jill knows anything about it. Quickly looking at it, Jill tells Katherine all she sees is a picture of Philip. Before Katherine can ask any other questions, Jill tells her mother that she came to drop a few things and is leaving. As the door slams, Katherine sits on the couch, still intrigued by the photograph. At the athletic club, Phyllis and Dru, after getting an earful from Jack and his crew, begin to bicker with one another; accusing each other of getting busted.

Drucilla, upon seeing Neil, quickly begins to tell Neil what happened. Phyllis does the same with Nick. Neil and Nick, staring at one another, start to laugh at the fact that their wives got busted by Jack. Both women try to reason why they had to scope out the competition.

Brad immediately talk about wanting to get as much as possible from Victoria for all that he’s ‘been’ through. Waving his hand, Storm says that he has another matter that needs discussing. When Brad asks what it is, Storm immediately tells him that he’s very well aware that he’s been spending time with Sharon Newman. Brad quickly tries to explain that they are just friends. Shaking his head, Storm tells him that he knows exactly ‘what Sharon is to him’ and that was the initial cause for his marriage falling apart. He tells his client keep away from Sharon until after the divorce is final, or expect it to come back to bite him in the ass. Across the way, at the Newman Ranch, John Silva is always discussing the ‘dos and don’ts’ to Victoria about the divorce hearing. He asks her if she’s seeing anyone currently. When Victoria raises an eyebrow in curiosity, John says that if she is seeing someone to end it or else have it brought up in the case by Storm. Victoria assures John that she is not seeing anyone. As they are talking, Victoria tells John that although she is not seeing anyone, Brad, however, is not so innocent. John asks who he’s with and is surprised to hear that Sharon, the very woman that caused the rift, is still very much a part of his life. Victoria tells John that she wants Sharon brought front and center in the case. John asks her if she’s sure she wants to have her dragged into the proceedings. Nodding, Victoria tells John that the ‘bitch that stole her husband’ deserves to have the spotlight on her. At the athletic club, Paul, who has met Lauren, wonders how she’s holding up now that the case of Gloria has ended. Sighing, Lauren tells Paul that she has started divorce proceedings on Michael. Looking at Lauren, he asks if that is the best thing for her to do. Lauren admits that although she loves Michael deeply, she can’t stay married to a man that keeps secrets from her. Paul tells Lauren that she might want to be careful as far as to Finmore; pointing out that Michael will never allow the boy to be out of his life. Tears begin to fall from Lauren’s eyes, and a compassionate and concerned Paul embraces her. It’s at that moment that Maggie, who is walking in, spots the two of them in their embrace.

Katherine comes across something from Phillip's past. Phyllis is checking her watch, impatiently waiting for Drucilla to meet her at the athletic club. Peeking around the corner, she sees that Jack and Jill were conducting a meeting with Brad and Sharon. The minute she spotted them, she knew that it had to be about their new cosmetic line, Genesis. Sighing heavily, she shakes her head, fearing that Dru would trip her up in trying to get some information about their project. When Drucilla finally arrives, Phyllis barks that she’s late. Dru tells her to pipe down and for them to get started in getting what information they can. The two women make their way around to a location where they are able to hear the group’s conversation. Across the way, Jill and Brad are discussing some of the layout of how Sharon’s photo shoots should go. As they are talking, Sharon asks Jack if he had a good 4th of July. Jack, trying to make peace with the woman who betrayed him, tells her he did. At a silent moment between them, Jack thinks he hears Phyllis bickering with someone at a distance. Shaking it off, Jack asks Brad if he has some of the different designs for their cosmetic line logo. Brad tells them that the representative that he is meeting with will get back to him within two days. Jack, still sensing that Phyllis is there, excuses himself to check things out. At Indigo, Neil is going over an order when Olivia stops in. Smiling at his sister-in-law, he asks her how she’s settling in. She tells him that all is fine and she can’t wait to see some more of her friends. Neil asks if she has decided if she wants to be in Genoa City for good. Nodding her head, she tells him that Genoa City has always been her home and that she feels that it is time to return to what she knows. She also admits that while she was doing medicine out of the country, she just kept feeling that her family needed her, therefore, she decided to come back. Hugging her, Neil tells Liv that the family are more than glad to see her again. At the Chancellor mansion, Katherine, upon requesting Esther to bring down some boxes from the attic, is sifting through the mementos. Cane comes from the kitchen with a pitcher of lemonade. As he sits beside her, he asks her what she hopes to find. Shrugging a little, she tells her that she just felt like looking through of Philip’s things that she’s kept. Rubbing his forehead, Cane points out that he hopes she’s not doing this as a way to find some sort of way to make amends with Jill. Katherine notices an envelope and pulls it out of the box. When she opens it, she discovers a picture of what looks to be a woman standing next to him. Taking the picture from her, Cane tells her that something is familiar about the female, however, due to the slight blurriness, can’t truly make it out. Katherine takes the photo and stares at it, curious to know who it could be. Victor and Nikki are checking out the stables of the Newman ranch, when Nikki notices that things haven’t been kept in order for a few days. Shaking his head, Victor thinks that it might be beneficial if they hire on a new ranch hand. Nikki tells Victor that it might be a good idea and wonders if he has anyone in mind. Victor says that he will put out a request in the paper and conduct interviews of those who are interested. Looking around a bit, Nikki moves closer to Victor and asks him if he would like to take advantage of the privacy they have in the stables. Victor smirks a little and plants a kiss on his wife. Back at the athletic club, Phyllis and Dru are bickering at one another, while trying to attempt to get some dirt about Genesis. The two argue off and on, not realizing that someone has come up behind them. Both women stop talking when they hear a familiar voice asking them what they think they are up to. Turning around, both Phyllis and Dru are looking up at a curious, but slightly ‘amused’ Jack.

Another show to follow up on...This is going to be great.... Knowing how great your current fan fic is going, I know this will be a big hit as well...Can't wait to start reading.

I am will admit I am loving the Lorenzo/Anna storyline. At first I gave a big "No" to the thought/notion, but I am really liking the chemistry. Also loving the angst that is coming on regarding Sonny/Michael/AJ...This is going to be a good storyline. Excellent work all.

Realizing that she’s upset, Lily coaxes Colleen to tell her what has her bothered. Wiping tears from her eyes, she tells Lily that Adrian pointed out how tight she looked in her swimming suit. Lily tells Colleen that she looks fine and that nothing is wrong with her being in her bathing suit. Colleen tells her friend that it is not the only time that Adrian has made comments about her body. Lily tells Colleen that Adrian is being a jerk and that if he can’t see what a good thing he has, then it’s his loss. The two girls start to laugh a bit before making their way back to the pool party. Brad and Sharon both are enjoying a wonderful picnic together by the park.

She admits that when she went in there and saw all that would be used to ‘perfect’ her, she grew scared.

As Tim takes the stand, Gloria and Michael stare at one another. William approaches him and asks him a series of questions in regards to how he came to know Gloria. Tim admits that she contacted him, asking for something to contaminate the face cream; even giving him hush money to remain quiet. William asked him if he had any further contact with Gloria since that incident. He stuns the entire courtroom, including Michael, when Tim tells of how he taunted her to pay him more money. When he says that Gloria offered him more money to stay away, he got greedy. When she refused to give more, that’s when he threatened to tell the truth about how she was the one to take the life of Emma Gibson. Michael upon hearing this, merely glares at Gloria for yet another cover up. When Dru and Neil return home, happy that Lily came to her senses; the two begin to take a trip down memory lane about their own lives as a newly married couple.

It won't be everyday, because it takes a lot of time... but for this episode I did it mainly because it seemed right.

A determined Lily won't back down..and Gloria gets the shock of her life at her trial Genoa City Courthouse REPORTER: Our news station just received word regarding The People vs. Gloria Fisher Abbott. We have learned that District Attorney William Bardwell has called three witnesses so far; Ji Min Kim, former Jabot employee, Jill Abbott, who runs Chancellor Industries, as well as head up Jabot Cosmetics and Lauren Fenmore Baldwin, who just so happens to be the daughter-in-law of the plaintiff, Gloria Fisher Abbott. Each witness gave damaging testimony that could very well be a positive for William Bardwell, but disheartening for attorney Michael Baldwin, who is representing Mrs. Abbott. I have also learned that William has two more witnesses before the jury is to make its decision; one being that of Ashley Abbott. The guard opens the door to let Ashley Abbott in. The courtroom is filled with murmurs as William instructs Ashley to take the stand. GLORIA (in a seething whisper): What the hell is she doing here, Michael? Ashley Abbott? You know that she’s going to lie on the stand. MICHAEL: Gloria, would you stop talking, please. You have to face reality dear. You know William was going to have her on the roster for testifying; just as he had Jill, Ji Min and Lauren. (sighing a little) Keep it together, Gloria. Please. William Bardwell, who is approaching Ashley begins his deliberation. WILLIAM: Ms. Abbott, can you tell me a little bit of your history with Mrs. Gloria Abbott? How did she become an employee at Jabot? ASHLEY: I can tell you a lot about Gloria, none of which is favorable. Michael stands to object based on unnecessary slander against his client. The judge waves it off and lets the statement stand. ASHLEY: Gloria was primarily given a job by Jack and myself to keep her busy. She found it in her nature to insinuate herself not only into the life of my father, but also into the very company that my brother and I have much success in running. WILLIAM: When did you learn of the contamination of the skin cream? How did you first discovered it? ASHLEY: I had my daughter, Abby with me at the company and she tried some of the cream. Shortly after, I notice a deep red rash on her legs where she put the cream at, and she started crying that it was burning her. That’s when I rushed her to the hospital. WILLIAM: When you found out that the cream could have been contaminated, what did you do? ASHLEY: I called Jack and told him, telling him that I was at least glad that only a few samples went out. I suggested that we retrieve those and investigate what could have happened. Unfortunately, Jack and I couldn’t get them in time. WILLIAM: You couldn’t get the product in time? What prevented you from doing so, if only a selected few went out? ASHLEY: We found out that a batch of the contaminated cream had been shipped out. A shipment to Fenmore’s, several to other store locations. It wasn’t until that evening did we discover that Emma Gibson was rushed to the hospital after getting a container of the cream. WILLIAM: To the best of your knowledge, Ashley, did either you or Jack ship that merchandise out? ASHLEY: No, we did not. The containers that we had were packaged, but they were not to go out. To our knowledge someone arranged to have the product picked up. Jack at first thought I might have, while I thought it was he. As William continues with his deliberation, Michael watches on, getting a sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. Memorial Hospital Neil and Dru both rush into the waiting area of Memorial Hospital and immediately interrogate Daniel about Lily. DANIEL: Look, I don’t know how to explain this to you, but Lily came here to have surgery done. NEIL: Daniel, what’s going on? You have to give us more information other than Lily’s having surgery. What kind of surgery? DRU: You better get your lips movin Daniel. I wanna know what’s happening to my baby. DANIEL: The money you gave Lily, Neil? It wasn’t for any summer classes. She used that money to put a down payment on breast enhancement surgery. NEIL: What?!? Are you standing here telling me that Lily is getting breast implants? DRU (pointing @ Daniel): This is your fault. If you weren’t Googling the ‘hotties’ on your computer, she wouldn’t be trying to compete for your attention now. NEIL: Dru, this isn’t all Daniel’s fault. Lily’s got a mind of her own. We’ll wait for her when she come in. Shortly after Dru’s outburst, Lily walks in and is stunned to see her entire family there. Newman Enterprises NIKKI: I pray everything is alright with Lily. That family has been through enough this year. PHYLLIS: Yeah, they have. Nikki, I was thinking on something. NIKKI: What’s that? Please tell me that you aren’t going to change things with the Chaos photo concept. PHYLLIS: No, no. Nothing like that. I was thinking that now that Sharon is over there as spokes model for Jabot, if we should scrap some of our proposals. NIKKI: You think she’s going to tell Brad and Jack about some of the concepts she sat in on? PHYLLIS: Um…yeah… We canned her, Nikki. You know she’s going to sing like the blonde-headed canary that she is. NIKKI: I have a better idea. Let’s give Jack and Brad exactly what they want. Nikki fills Phyllis in on how they can set up some dummy campaigns to trip up the competition. Memorial Hospital LILY: What are you all doing here? DRU: Uh uh, what we want to know is what the hell you’re doing here? And before you even get ready to form a lie, I got the 411 already, baby girl. LILY: Daniel, you told them? How do you even know about the surg… NEIL: So, you are here to have cosmetic surgery. Lily, you stood in my face and lied to me. You took my money, knowing all along that you were going to have surgery. DRU: Scratch that. Lily, I don’t care if you can get the money back or not, but you’re not having surgery. That’s for sure. LILY: You can’t tell me what to do. I’m an adult and I am making this decision; not for you, but for me. DANIEL: Lily, don’t do this. I showed you the downside of all of this. You saw those pictures; how can you still want to go through with it. DRU: Baby, he’s right. You don’t know what side-effects and repercussions this can have. LILY: Stop it! I’m having this surgery and there’s nothing you or anyone else can say that is going to change my mind. Everyone watches in dismay as Lily brushes past them and makes her way to have her operation. Genoa City Courthouse JUDGE REYNOLDS: Do you have any more witnesses D.A. Bardwell? WILLIAM: As a matter of fact, I have one more witness. Michael and Gloria are murmuring to themselves. In an attempt to block William’s witness from being presented, Michael objects. MICHAEL: Your honor, with all due respect, I was not made aware of this witness. It was never mentioned as to this latest person coming, therefore, I think that he should be omitted from taking the stand. WILLIAM: Come on Attorney Baldwin, the fact of the matter is that I have solid witnesses that can place your client as the primary person that orchestrated the crime at hand. JUDGE REYNOLDS: I am going to allow D.A. Bardwell to present his witness. D.A. Baldwin, please sit down and refrain from making unnecessary outbursts in my court. WILLIAM: I would like to call Tim Douglas to the stand. The entire courtroom is silent as surprise witness, Tim Douglas takes the stand. Gloria watches in horror as the very man she paid to keep quiet sat across from, more than ready to tell the truth.

Gloria's trial begins and Lily's family rush to stop her from making a grave mistake Genoa City Courthouse REPORTER: Today is an intense day here in Genoa City, as those await the trial of Gloria Fisher Abbott. As many may remember, Jabot Cosmetics faced a big lawsuit when a product of facial skin cream went out, only to be discovered to be tainted. During that time, employee, Andrew Gibson’s wife, Emma Gibson died after using some of the cream. At the time, it was believed that justice was served, only to discover that new developmentspoint in the direction of Mrs. Gloria Fisher Abbott as the mastermind behind the tampering. Today is her day in court and the people of Genoa City will await to see if true justice will be served. As jury members find their spots to sit, and citizens of Genoa City make their way into the courtroom, Michael, Gloria and Kevin attempt to find seclusion from the rabid media that are awaiting to pounce on them with heated questions. GLORIA (smoothing her over the top dress): Michael, you’ve got to win this case. We’ve got to win this case. It never was supposed to happen like this. I didn’t mean for anyone to die (breaking into tears). MICHAEL: For God sakes, Gloria, get a hold of yourself. We can’t have you breaking down before the trial even gets underway. (Looking around) Listen, when you take the stand, you are going to do whatever, I don’t care how, but you are going to do whatever to get the jury to side with you. Do you understand me? KEVIN: Michael’s right, mom. You’re going to have to do a performance of a lifetime in hopes of getting out of this. Especially if William has that surprise witness. Rubbing the back of his neck, Michael clearly is not pleased to know that he’s not on top of his game as to finding out who William’s witness is. Sighing, Michael goes to a door and peeks out to see who all are still arriving. MICHAEL: We better head into the court room. As much as we want, we can’t avoid our fates now. Jabot Cosmetics BRAD: Jack, before Sharon gets here, we need to work on a way to get her to reveal some key information regarding NVP if we can. JACK: I am way ahead of you, Junior. I was thinking the same thing. It shouldn’t be too hard to get her to open up about NVP. Look at it this way, Sharon’s been scorned by the Newman clan just as we have, so, I think she’ll be willing to share. (Sharon enters the office, greeting both Jack and Brad) SHARON: I hope I’m not late. I was catching a bit of the news before coming here. I hear it is a madhouse at the courthouse for Gloria’s trial. Jack, why aren’t you there? I know you want to see justice served regarding Gloria. JACK: Well, Sharon, at this point, I really could care less about Gloria Fisher. I think Amanda Gibson is doing a good job at making her pay. BRAD: (briefly looking at Jack): Sharon, I was curious about something. Before you were removed from NVP, did you have any hands on knowledge about any of their plans to shape the company? SHARON: Yeah, I did. Why do you ask? BRAD: I was curious as to know just how much you were involved with NVP duties. SHARON: Well, because I was the spokes model, I would sit in on their meetings about new product ideas they compiled. I know that they have a new product idea that they are working on now. I know at the time they didn’t have anyone heading it up. Both Jack and Brad look at one another, realizing that the hiring of Ji Min Kim was to head up a new product for NVP. CRIMSON LIGHTS COLLEEN: Lily, I wanted to apologize for blowing up at you the other day. I shouldn’t have. I guess I’m just worried about my best friend. LILY: No. No, don’t be sorry. I was way out of line for making some of the comments that I did about you; especially after how hurt you were that Adrian was giving you a hard time. COLLEEN (extending her hand): Friends? LILY: Definitely, Colleen. You’ll always be my best friend. (Checking her watch) You know, I should be going, I have a lot to do before Daniel gets home. Lily grabs her cell phone and bids Colleen good-bye. Minutes after Lily leaves, Colleen’s cell phone rings. Turning it on, she begins to talk. COLLEEN: Hello? RECEPTIONIST: Mrs. Romalotti, I just wanted to call to confirm that your operation is scheduled for one o’clock this afternoon. See you then. COLLEEN: WHAT?! Wait! Hello? Hello? (Looking at the phone, realizing it’s not hers, but Lily’s). Oh, God. Colleen immediately dials Daniel’s number COLLEEN: Daniel, thank God you answered. Lily’s going through with the surgery. You’ve got to do something. DANIEL: Are you sure? She’s supposed to be meeting me this afternoon. COLLEEN: Well, Daniel, she lied. Look, you’ve got to tell Dru and Neil. They need to know. DANIEL: You’re right. I better call them now. Newman Enterprises Nikki, Drucilla and Phyllis are looking over the possible photo shoot plans for Chaos. Drucilla, for once, actually likes Phyllis’ photo concepts. NIKKI: I must admit, I never thought I would see the day when Drucilla Winters and Phyllis Abbott Newman would agree on something. Utterly amazing. DRU: Relish in it for now, Nikki, cause you know that it ain’t gonna last. PHYLLIS: Anyways…. I think the whole name, Chaos alone screams many possibilities for us. Today’s woman has so many things that bring chaos into their lives; work, family, relationships. Those three are excellent photo shoot concepts. NIKKI: Oooooh, I am seeing such possibilities with this, ladies. We definitely have to thank Ji Min for such a brilliant formula. DRU: Mmm hmmm. Ji Min is definitely our gain, honey. We should be thanking Mr. Jack Abbott for firing the man. As Nikki and Phyllis are talking over more ideas for the three concepts, Dru’s cell phone rings. Stepping to the side she answers it. DRU: Drucilla Winters. Daniel, what’s up? Hold on, Daniel you have to slow down. What’s going on? DANIEL: You need to get to Memorial Hospital right away. It’s Lily. DRU: God! What’s happened to my baby? DANIEL: Nothing yet, if we can get to her in time. Colleen called and said that she’s on her way down there for surgery. DRU: Say what. Surgery for what? Lord, Daniel ,you better start talking and fast, boy. DANIEL: Look, get Neil and meet me down at the hospital before one and I’ll explain everything. Dru grabs her things. Phyllis is first to approach Dru with what she’s heard. PHYLLIS: What’s going on, Dru? Did something happen to Lily and Daniel? DRU: No, but I got to get out of here and down to the hospital now so I can find out what’s going on with my baby. PHYLLIS: Go. Nikki and I will handle everything, Dru. I hope everything is alright with Lily. DRU: Girl, so do I. ON THE SECOND HALF OF GENOA CITY Nikkie and Phyllis discuss if Sharon has told NVP business to the enemy Dru, Neil and Daniel try to talk a determined Lily out of breast implant surgery Gloria gets the shock of her life when William reveals his key witness

Ashley's itching to have her say against Gloria on the stand In an episode that will bring smiles to the faces of Gloria haters everywhere, fans will be pleased to learn that actress Eilleen Davidson will make a brief appearance as Ashley Abbott on Genoa City this Friday, as the case against Gloria Fisher Abbott begins. Davidson, who left Young and the Restless in early 2007 and who is currently on sister show, Bold and the Beautiful was pleased to come back in the episode that could seal Gloria's fate. Although her return is primarily for the trial, never say never to a possible return. Anything is possible

Jill's slip of the lips becomes music to Ji Min's ears Amanda and JT couldn’t get their bags packed fast enough to make their flight back to Genoa City. Once they got home, JT drove Amanda straight to meet William at Crimson Lights. When they arrived, Amanda anxiously questions William about the surprise witness. William informs them that he had Paul doing some extensive investigation in terms of people that may have had contact with Gloria during the time of the crime. JT wonders if the witness will try to back out of testifying. William states that Tim doesn’t want to go back to jail, therefore, he’ll do whatever to keep from going back. Amanda hugs JT, thrilled that someone will be able to put Gloria away for a while. At the athletic club, Brad spots Victor dining solo. Not missing an opportunity to rub his latest success in his soon to be ex father-in-law’s face, Brad walks up to him. Victor immediately removes his glasses and stares at Brad, asking him why he’s even stopping at his table. Not phased, Brad immediately takes a seat across from Victor, boasting that he made a grave mistake in buying him out. Victor tells him he knew exactly what he was doing, and makes no apologies for it. Brad tells him he’ll think differently when he helps Jabot sweep Newman under the rug with their latest venture. Before Brad can make an exit, Victor tells him to sit down and listen carefully to what he has to say. Ji Min who is heading from the bar of the athletic club, casually spots Victor in a heated conversation with Brad. Shaking his head quickly, he proceeds to the lobby to exit, when he bumps into Jill. Jill immediately smiles upon seeing Ji Min, and asks him how things are going for him. Always flattered by Jill’s kindness towards him, Ji Min tells her that things are going well; and hope the same for her. Looking around, Jill gently pulls him into a secluded area, where she once again asks him to come back to Jabot. He tells Jill that he could never return to Jabot as long as Jack is a strong presence there. The two begin talking and in her excitement of his asking how things are going work wise, accidentally lets slip about Jabot’s new line, Genesis. Once she departs, Ji Min decides on what to do with this latest news. William, Amanda and JT are still talking about the looming trial when Kevin comes from the back office. Eyes locked on the three of them, Kevin is more than curious as to what is going on; as well as to why Amanda is back from her business trip. Trying not to be noticed, Kevin quickly finds a spot where he can’t be seen but can ear hustle every detail of their conversation. He thinks that the conversation is boring until JT questions William about his key witness. He’s stunned when William announces that the witness has enough information that could blow any chances of Michael winning out of the water. The minute all three leave, Kevin quickly makes an exit, determined to tell Michael and Gloria all that he’s heard. Victor, quite tired of the antics of Brad, tells him that if he as much as tries to make attempts to sabotage Newman in anyway, he’ll make sure Brad’s life is completely destroyed. Knowing that Victor is a man of his word, and knowing exactly what extent Victor would go, prepares his exit. Victor tells Brad to pass that on to Jack as well. Once Brad leaves, Victor spots Ji Min back that the bar, and approaches him. Victor asks him how things are going with Chaos. Ji Min tells him that he looked over the campaign that Nikki and Phyllis have set up for Drucilla to work on. Sensing that Ji Min has something on his mind, Victor asks him if he would like to share what he’s thinking. Looking around, making sure that Jill, as well as Brad, are out of sight, Ji Min tells Victor about his conversation with Jill, and how she unknowingly gave out key information about their new venture, Genesis. Michael, who is trying to calm his ever stressed nerves, nearly jumps when Kevin comes barreling inside. Gloria, hearing the commotion comes rushing out, demanding to know what’s going on. Michael states he was about to ask his ‘little’ brother the same thing. Kevin quickly fills them in on the conversation he heard between William, Amanda and JT. Michael immediately demands to know if Kevin was able to find out or hear them mention a name of the witness; however, Kevin tells them that a name was mentioned at all. All eyes lock on to Gloria, who immediately goes in ‘dumb’ mode, wondering who the key witness could be. At Jabot, Brad slams his briefcase down on his desk, as he slumps into his seat. Loosening his tie, he dials Jack and tells him to come see him immediately. Going to the mini refrigerator, he grabs a bottle of water and pours some in a glass. When Jack arrives, Brad fills him in on his exchange with Victor. Jack, worried that Brad’s inflated ego might have gave their latest plans away, asks Brad what the purpose was in talking to Victor to begin with. Brad admits he mainly wanted to rub his new position in Victor’s face, but tells Jack that things got heated when Victor slammed him with a warning. Jack tells Brad that if they want to truly beat Victor, they have to do give Victor the impression that they are doing all thing legit as they possibly can. Guzzling the water down, Brad tells him that he has a few ‘key’ components that will work to their advantage in getting the upper hand on the ‘Moustache.’ Back at the apartment, Michael corners Gloria and asks her if there is anything that she’s not telling him. Gloria quickly feigns hurt, upset that Michael would begin to question her after everything she’s shared with him. In no mood for games, Michael warns Gloria that her ass is the one on the line if she’s keeping information from him. Kevin begins to wonder who would know about the tampering of the skin cream, and immediately wonders if someone on the Jabot staff could have seen Gloria enter the lab. Still keeping his eye on Gloria, Michael begins to wonder the same thing, but quickly dismisses it, saying that a Jabot employee would have busted Gloria in all that time. As Michael and Kevin are wracking their brains on who William’s witness is; a very quiet Gloria worries if her secret scheme to keep a certain somebody quiet has backfired. NEXT ON GENOA CITY COLLEEN: Daniel, you have to tell Lily's parents what's going on. They need to know the truth. DANIEL: I know. I should have told them the minute I found out she used their money to make that down payment. BRAD: Sharon, when you were at NVP, did Phyllis and Nikki include you in on any of their upcoming projects? SHARON: Of course. They included me in on a majority of them; especially with being their spokes model. GLORIA (seeing Ashley walking into the court house): What the hell is she doing here? MICHAEL: Did you honestly think that William wouldn't have Ashley Abbott on the list of witnesses?

I like that you have it being fairly recent to what's going on now; only though with your own spin. Loving the Chelsea/Nick stuff...They are truly cute together. Also loving the Lexie and Sami dialoug....keep up the excellent work

William's key witness could tear this happy family apart Michael, on the verge of pulling out his hair, looks over all of his notes and documentation; in hopes that he is well prepared for Gloria’s upcoming trial. Gloria, walking out of the kitchen with a small plate of fruit, asks Michael if things are working towards their favor. Glaring at Gloria, Michael tells her that she better be praying that no surprises come to bite them un-expectantly. Gloria, immediately waves off Michael’s concern, pointing out that the only witnesses to knowing her crimes are Kevin and he; and they aren’t talking. Michael tells Gloria that William’s over determination could be their downfall. Lily and Colleen are returning back from a day of shopping, when they decide to unwind at Lily’s house. Upon their arrival, Lily gushes about how she can’t wait to try on all her tops once she’s ‘filled out’ some. Colleen tries to hold in her annoyance, but Lily immediately picks up on her friend’s attitude. Lily quickly asks her what her problem is. Colleen tells Lily that she’s growing tired of her constant talk about ‘perfecting’ her body; knowing full well she’s fine the ways she is. Things turn ugly when Lily makes a cutting comment about Colleen needing some ‘improvements’ herself if she wants to keep Adrian’s attention. Just before Colleen can say anything, Neil, coming to pay a visit, walks in asking what all the shouting is about. William, coming back from a short lunch, arrives at his office. It would only be a few days before the upcoming trial and he definitely wanted to have all his ducks in a row. Grabbing his case file, he opened it up to view his list of witnesses. As he’s looking over his notes, someone knocks on his door. Instructing them to come in, he looks on as Paul walks in. William immediately asks him if he had any luck in finding someone that may shed light on Gloria. Paul tells him that he has, and instructs the man who’s with him to come in. William is more than ready to begin finding out what connection he has with Gloria. An upset Colleen quickly excuses herself from the apartment. Once she is gone, Neil immediately asks Lily what is going on between the two of them. Waving it off as mere bickering, Lily tells her father that things will be okay; they simply had a misunderstanding about something that happened while they were shopping. A skeptical Neil points out that it didn’t sound like a mere misunderstanding and again asks if there is something more that’s going on. Not wanting to delve into it, Lily tells her father that everything between Colleen and her will be fine. Back at William’s office, William is face-to-face with Tim, the man that helped set Gloria’s plan in motion. When William begins to question him about that fateful day, Tim tries to pull a tough guy routine, refusing to talk. Paul tells William that he managed to get his confession on tape and that he can present it to him if needed. Not in the mood for games, William tells Tim that if he wants any type of deal, his best bet is to start telling him everything that he knows; if not, be ready to face serious jail time. Not wanting to go back to jail, Tim tells William what Gloria wanted and exactly how much money he was paid for not only the chemical but also how he was paid to stay out of Genoa City. William smiles, pleased that he finally has what he needs to put Gloria away. Daniel is heading out of Crimson Lights when he nearly runs into a frustrated Colleen. Immediately putting his departure on hold, he asks her what’s troubling her. She tells Daniel that he has to do something about his wife; that she’s become so fixated on wanting the perfect body. Daniel tells Colleen about how he showed her images of the bad side of plastic surgery, but points out that Lily is too determined to do what she wants. Colleen tells Daniel that he needs to tell Lily’s parents. Maybe if they knew, they could get her to not go through with the procedure. Daniel isn’t too sure he should get them involved. Once William has instruction to keep Tim in a location where he’s close by for the trial, he tells Paul to make the call to Amanda. Paul tells William that she’s away on business in South Dakota. William, not caring where she is, tells Paul to get her back to Genoa City immediately. Paul, stepping outside of his office, calls Amanda’s cell phone. When he gets through, he is surprised to hear JT on the other end. Not having time to ask questions, Paul tells JT that Amanda is needed back in Genoa City immediately. When JT asks what for; Paul says that they have a key witness that will help bring Amanda justice for her family. Paul hears JT telling Amanda the news. After ending his talk with Colleen, Daniel prepares once again to head home. Unfortunately, Neil walks into Crimson Lights and zooms in on Daniel, telling him about walking in on an argument between Colleen and Lily. Daniel tells him that things have a been a bit tense between them since Colleen transferred college. Shaking his head, Neil says he believes it’s more than that; and he wants to know if Daniel has any ideas as to what’s going on. Shrugging his shoulders, he tells Neil that he can’t assume what’s going on if he wasn’t there. Trying a different tactic, Neil asks Daniel if anything is going on that Lily’s trying to keep quiet. Daniel is left speechless, wondering if he should take Colleen’s advice and tell the truth. NEXT ON GENOA CITY BRAD (smirking): Well, Victor, it must suck doesn't it? You shouldn't have gotten rid of me. Now I'm making Jabot bigger and better. VICTOR: I wouldn't be too confident in that, Bradley. After all, I know all of your weaknesses; and I intend on using them. KEVIN: You don't understand, Michael. William has a key witness for the trial. MICHAEL: What?!? Are you serious? I don't care how you found this out, just tell me everything you know; NOW! JI MIN: I think you will be glad by the news I have to share with you. It's concerning Jabot. VICTOR: I'm all for good news, especially if it will give me the upperhand against Brad and Jack.

Sharon unknowingly hits a nerve with Drucilla Daniel and Lily are having a tense lunch the following day. He asks Lily if she thought about what he said in regards to the breast implant surgery. Lily, not in the mood to have another fight with someone about her decision, tells Daniel that she will make her decision based on what she feels; not based on how someone else reacts to her. Daniel walks over to the desk to retrieve a folder to give to her. He tells her that if he won’t listen to her about the downside of plastic surgery, at least look at true live testimonies from young women that had terrible repercussions from getting the surgery. Lily looks at the images and comments of the other women but quickly closes the folder, dismissing it as pure ‘rare case’ side effects. At Jabot, Jack is looking over Brad’s ideas for the campaign to launch Genesis. As they are talking, Jack tells him that they need to seriously think about finding someone fresh and new to represent their product. Brad, seeing where the conversation is headed, firmly tells Jack that Sharon is the person that will be their new spokes model. Jack huffily disagrees and tells Brad that if he has to, he’ll search for a spokes model on his own. It is then that Jill walks in hearing their bickering. Jill, taking sides with Brad, tells Jack that regardless of his personal feelings towards Sharon, they need someone that can really sell the product; someone that people recognize. Jack prepares to say something but Jill snaps that the decisions is made; Sharon Newman will be the Genesis spokes model. Over at Newman Enterprises, Phyllis and Nikki are hard at work with coming up with ideas to make a huge launch of Chaos, the new line for Newman/NVP. Phyllis raves to Nikki about how awesome it is to have Ji Min on staff, heading up the project. Nikki states that their goal is to get Chaos products in the spa regions; targeting consumers looking for not only product but products to enhance pampering. Jotting down ideas, Phyllis asks how they should feature Dru in the new line. Nikki tells Phyllis since Ji Min is launching a line that has a edgier side, they could feature Dru in ads that focus on the ‘chaos’ in everyday life, and show how their products still offer a glamorous look. Both women smile, knowing that Dru would definitely like it. Dru is all smiles when she sees her good friend, Sharon awaiting her at Crimson Lights. The two women hug and immediately begin to talk about their week-end. Dru lets Sharon know that the family received a letter from Devon, telling them of how wonderful it is in Los Angeles. Sharon is thrilled that Devon has found a career that he loves. When Dru asks her about her week-end, Sharon immediately informs her of the job opportunity she received. Curiosity getting the better of her, Dru insists on Sharon spilling the beans. Sharon tells of how Brad offered her a job at Jabot as their spokes model. Dru, not trying to be mean, asks Sharon if she’s sure Brad offered her the job in good faith. Sharon, not liking the implication, tells Dru that it would be best if they just not talk about their work. Kevin, not liking how things are going between Michael and Lauren, pays an impromptu visit to her at Fenmore’s . The minute she sees him, she shakes her head, telling him that she will not talk to him about her choices in her marriage to his brother. Despite her objections to talk, Kevin tries to get her to understand how much Michael loves her and their son. Lauren tells Kevin that love isn’t always enough, especially when someone constantly lets other people test that love. Understanding how she feels, Kevin points out that once the trial is over Michael and she can focus on working on their marriage. Lauren tells Kevin that the day Michael decided to help cover up his mother’s crimes was the day he chose not to focus on their marriage. NEXT ON GENOA CITY NEIL: What were you and Colleen arguing about Lily? LILY: It was nothing dad, it was just a mis-understanding. WILLIAM: I wanted to call you to tell you we have someone that may have damaging evidence against Gloria. AMANDA: Is this person definitely going to testify? MICHAEL (looking at Gloria): I hope to God nothing will come at us unexpectantly during this case.

Loving the 5 families story. However, I'm really drawn into the Lulu/Lucas/Dillon/Maxie storyline (I guess I still have my own personal reasonings for loving this storyline)...I just want to see Maxie's resolve crumble and her to be exposed for what she did. I hate that Dillon and Lucas are still estranged in their friendship/

Adrian's teasing rubs Colleen the wrong way Neil is bringing in the mail, when he spots Dru coming out of the bedroom. Looking through it, he spots a letter from Devon from Los Angeles. An excited Dru is thrilled to hear that Devon is doing well. As they continue to read, Dru makes mention that she’ll need to pass the letter on over to Lily. Neil comments that he stopped by their home and was surprised that Daniel wasn’t in the ‘know’ of her summer school plans. Sniffing a little, Dru tells Neil that if Daniel would have dedicated more of his time to her, rather than mess with unsavory habits, then he would know more about what Lily does in her spare time. At Newman Enterprises, Ji Min steps on the elevator, in hopes of finding Victor. As he’s waiting to reach his destination, the elevator doors open and Victor, the very person he’s in search for, steps on. Victor asks Ji Min how things are going for him now that he is at Newman. Ji Min tells Victor that he’s formulating a new cosmetics line that is not only more edgier, but also would draw in top notch fashion consumers. Interested in the idea, Victor leads Ji Min into his office. As he’s being shown the project, Victor questions Ji Min if he came up with a name for the possible new line. Smiling, pleased that Victor is amped for the idea, Ji Min announces that the new line will be called Chaos . Michael, still trying to get Lauren and Gloria from tearing each other apart, decides that he needs to spend time alone with Lauren. Gloria grows upset when Michael tells her that it would be best if she stepped out for a few minutes. Once alone, Michael tries to apologize for Gloria’s attack against her. A frustrated Lauren tells Michael he can save his apology; no matter what Gloria does; good or bad, Michael will always put her above everything and everyone else. Michael argues that she is wrong; that he does have her first. Not standing to hear anymore empty words, Lauren tells Michael that once the trial is over with; the same will go for their marriage. At the athletic club, Colleen and Adrian are having supper together. Adrian comments that he’s never seen Colleen with such a ravenous appetite. Dismissing his comment, she tells him that she’s been so busy that she hadn’t a chance to eat. Adrian tells Colleen that she needs to eat better. Colleen tries to dismiss his comments to her, but when Adrian makes a comment about her eating too much, she becomes frustrated. When the waiter comes by, asking if they would like to order dessert, Colleen, feeling Adrian’s eyes on her, she quickly tells him no. Once he’s gone, Colleen tells Adrian she’s never been so embarrassed by his comments. In South Dakota, Amanda and JT return to their hotel suite. On cloud nine, Amanda raves about how well the press conference to discuss the new possible changes to Newman took place. JT kisses Amanda lightly on the lips, telling her that Nick would definitely be proud of her. Amanda makes mention of how Victoria was really pushing for her to go, despite Nick’s reservations. Walking over to the phone, JT calls room service and requests a bottle of their best champagne and a fine cuisine. Returning towards her, JT takes Amanda in his arms and tells her that they have a lot of celebrating to do tonight. Colleen opts to go to Lily’s after her disappointing evening with Adrian. When she arrives, she finds Lily sitting on the couch looking at fashion magazines. Lily can tell something is wrong and asks Colleen what happened on her date with Adrian. Colleen talks about how Adrian has been making comments about her eating habits and constantly teasing her about it. Lily tells Colleen that Adrian just cares about her so much that he wants her to be attractive to him. Narrowing her eyes, Colleen asks Lily what she means by that comment. Lily points out that if she did things to improve her body image, maybe Adrian would give her more positive comments. Colleen snaps that Lily is so weak minded that she’s willing to change who she is to please a man. NEXT ON GENOA CITY KEVIN: I can't believe you are going to give up on my brother. Don't you want your marriage to work?" LAUREN: Michael stopped caring about our marriage the minute he helped cover up Gloria's crimes. JACK: I don't think that Sharon Newman is the right woman for our new cosmetics line. BRAD: Oh come on Jack. She's the best for the job and you know it. DANIEL: Look at those images and tell me if it's really worth it, Lily.

Gloria may be facing the music when William gets a key witness ANNOUNCER: She thought she was in the clear…. GLORIA: It was never supposed to happen like this; I only wanted to get back at Jack and Ashley for what they did to me… ANNOUNCER: She was wrong….. WILLIAM: I just got a phone call from someone that could put Gloria away for a very long time. AMANDA: Are you sure? I want her to pay for killing my mother….she must pay. ANNOUNCER: This week, Gloria’s fate could be closing in. MICHAEL: Gloria, you need to be honest for me… For once. Do you know if anyone else knows about your tainting of the skin cream? GLORIA: I don’t know, Michael. Oh God, what’s happening to me? ANNOUNCER: Bringing PAYBACK back, Genoa City, SONBC Daytime.

I'm loving the fact that Carly is feeling that something is amiss with Bobbie and Noah getting married. When she pointed out about not being able to reach Lucas, it showed in some ways that Bobbie would never just go on without her life without being there for her som... Loved the determination of AJ, even if Tracy did snap him up like bait....Always love the storylines of the Quartermaines.

I have a question: Is Sam in some sort of cahoots with Helena? This is about the second or third time that Sam has displayed some sort of 'evil' glance whenever someone gets slighted or shortly after the disappearance of Helena. I'm really curious about this storyline, and if Sam truly has feelings for Lucky or if by Helena's hold over her, she's setting everyone that she's known up for a big fall somewhere down the line.
