Another new
day in Genoa City finds Nick and Phyllis at the magazine. She's
spending money like it's going out of style. Is it okay to buy all
this stuff? With Nick it is. He wants the place to look "classy".
Besides, "Money is no object". You've got to spend money to make
money. Happy now, Phyllis mentions having met "the other Newman".
She's only said a few words to him, but she already knows that Adam is
not a "typical" Newman, that he's in over his head, and may not
survive.
In his office, Victor is having a flashback to when he told Nick that
he was trying to groom him for a great future, but that he didn't like
Nick's callous attitude when he wasn't even out of college. Then
Victor has another flashback to what he told Nick earlier this week.
As Victor comes back to real time, Adam walks in. "Good morning, Mr.
Newman."
At the outhouse, Victoria and J.T. are getting ready to leave for
work. She's not looking forward to another day of dealing with Adam.
The mansion finds Jeff on the phone with Jack leaving a message that
he's made a decision about selling his share of the house. Coming down
the stairs, Gloria hears and the banister comes off in her hand. So
that's what Jeff was doing with the screwdriver. Reminding Jeff that
he'll have to sell the house over her dead body, Gloria complains
about Jeff trying to kill her.
In Los Angeles, Sharon tells Jack that she wants to work for the
magazine. Well why didn't she say so? Because she didn't want to
disappoint him. Whatever Sharon wants to do is okay with Jack. Ben
Hollander can run the foundation. Ashley shows up as Eric summons Jack
into his office.
Adam saying that NE is very "complex" made Victor laugh. Yes, NE is
multifaceted, so why doesn't Adam pick something and focus on it. Why,
Adam already has - Beauty of Nature. It's NE's weakest link and
Adam wants to hire a celebrity environmentalist as its spokesperson.
Victor wonders, what about the previous spokesperson? "She's my
ex-daughter-in-law", he says of Sharon before adding that no matter
what Adam may want, all decisions must be approved by Victoria.
Adam went on to tell Victor about going to Indigo last night, but he
couldn't stay long because there is so much work to do. This
dedication to duty impressed Victor.
Gloria and Jeff argue about who could have tampered with the banister
until Jeff says that the house brings out the worst in them and
therefore they should move. Gloria refused. Jeff can turn her in for
all she cares. If he does she'll get him for blackmail. Jeff laughs it
off; he wants some sex and he wants it now. Gloria says no; she'd
rather go to jail.
