Sharon watched as the doctor examined Adam's eyes. The doctor explained that there was no improvement. Adam was given a pair of sunglasses to wear. Sharon asked the doctor if another specialist could examine Adam. The doctor was discouraging because Adam had already had multiple examinations and Adam's condition was permanent. The doctor told Adam that he'd be discharged soon and would need help to get around once he was home. Sharon said Adam would not be alone. After the doctor walked out of the room, Adam told Sharon that he was depressed that he'll never see again. Sharon suggested that Adam not give up hope. Adam didn't think he was the man he once thought he'd be. Sharon reminded Adam that his mother had lived a productive life without being able to see. Adam refused to go home to the family farm. All Adam wanted was to see again. Adam assured Sharon that he wasn't angry with her. Adam wished he might wake up and have his sight back. Sharon reiterated that Adam was not alone. Sharon asked Adam to move in with her when he was released from the hospital. A nurse appeared and Sharon stepped out for a minute.
At Victoria and Billy's, Anita saw Chelsea and was shocked that she was pregnant. Anita asked who was the father and Chelsea said that it was Billy's child. Anita assumed that Billy would marry her daughter. Jill told Anita that Billy was already married to Victoria. Anita was outraged and said that the set up looked like some kind of kinky arrangement. Anita mentioned that Chelsea's father, the missionary, would be horrified by Chelsea's plight. Billy explained that he had ever intention to care for the child. Anita was concerned about Chelsea's welfare. Jill informed Anita that Chelsea had entrapped Billy and she'd been running a con game in Myanmar. When Anita learned that Billy had wound up in prison because of Chelsea, she apologized for misunderstanding the situation.
Anita declared that she would take Chelsea home with her and care for the baby. Billy and Victoria said that was unnecessary because Chelsea was living under their roof and taking care of her and the baby. Anita feared that Chelsea had fallen prey to the devil and she wanted to be close to her daughter. Victoria understood that Chelsea would want her mother around during the pregnancy, so Billy offered to have Anita move into the garage apartment with Chelsea. Anita agreed, but Jill looked askance. After Billy left with Chelsea and Anita, Jill told Victoria that she did not trust Anita. Billy returned and Jill declared that Anita and Chelsea were scammers. Victoria and Billy explained that they knew that, but were determined to watch out for the baby.
In the garage apartment, Anita and Chelsea talked and Anita accused Chelsea of going soft. Anita said a garage apartment wasn't good enough and Chelsea had to listen to Anita about how to run a good con. Chelsea said that Billy and Victoria really wanted the baby. Anita said it would be a billion dollar baby for them, but Chelsea wasn't thinking that grand. Meanwhile at the house, Billy and Victoria agreed to hire Paul to investigate Anita Lawson.
At Gloworm, Victor informed Michael that he wanted the Beauty of Nature sale to be declared invalid by the SEC. Michael said that he would get to work on the case immediately. Nikki rushed in and told Victor that Walsh had dropped the charges against her. Victor commented that the bad times were behind them. Nikki embraced Victor happily. Victor and Nikki agreed that they'd been at odds lately. Victor proposed a special dinner alone with Nikki at the ranch. Nikki said she'd enjoy dinner with him. Later, Michael reported to Victor that he had to go to the courthouse to file the documents against Genevieve.
Genevieve walked into her office at Jabot and Ashley was waiting for her with two security guards. All of Genevieve's belongings were in boxes. The sight stunned Genevieve, then Ashley announced that she was fired. Genevieve handed in her resignation and said she intended to resign when she bought Beauty of Nature. Ashley wanted Genevieve out of the building. Traci entered and said that Genevieve's belongings from Jack's house had been sent back to Genevieve's home because the Abbotts wanted her out of Jack's life. Genevieve said she never intended to hurt Jack. Traci and Ashley believed that Genevieve had hurt Jack more than Patty had. Genevieve declared that Patty shot him, not her. Genevieve felt that she'd made a business deal, that's all. Genevieve said that she still loved Jack and regretted how badly she'd handled the situation. Traci and Ashley could not forgive Genevieve, and when Genevieve offered to do whatever she could for Jack, they said no. Traci and Ashley ordered Genevieve to leave and never bother Jack again. Ashley asked the guards to remove Genevieve from the premises.
In Jack's hospital room, Phyllis asked Jack if he'd read about an experimental treatment for paralysis. Jack knew all about it and Phyllis admired Jack's determination to walk again. A reporter from The Inquisitor burst into the room and asked Jack for his reaction to Ricky's blog, which eviscerated Patty. Phyllis tossed the reporter out of the room and told Jack he'd put a guard on the door for him. Nikki arrived later and Jack told her that they were keeping the press out of the room because of Ricky's story. Nikki apologized to Jack for killing Diane and the effect on Kyle. Jack didn't blame Nikki.
Ricky was at the coffeehouse working on a new story. Avery walked in and Ricky told her about his true crime blog about Patty and how successful it had been. Avery was surprised that Phyllis hadn't published his story. Phyllis confronted Ricky and asked why him why he insisted on publishing the Patty story. Ricky said he didn't owe Phyllis an explanation. Paul entered and Ricky tried to leave to avoid a confrontation with Paul. Avery declared that Phyllis was a hypocrite for criticizing Ricky considering all the destructive pieces that Phyllis had published. Phyllis remind Avery that she was just like her, doing whatever was necessary to get the job done. Avery noted that Phyllis was protecting Jack more than she'd ever protected her family. Avery received a call from their mother and learned that their father was in critical condition after having suffered a heart attack. Avery asked Phyllis to leave with her to see their father. Phyllis said no and Avery left.
Paul caught up with Ricky before he left. Paul wanted to know why Ricky had shown no compassion for Patty, a desperately sick woman. Ricky asked if Paul ever cared that much for Ricky's mother, mentally ill Isabella. Paul said he'd never abandoned Isabella; it had been the doctors who'd asked him to stay away from her. Paul also accused Ricky of having put himself in danger by approaching Patty alone. Ricky said he knew how to deal with Patty's kind of insanity because of Isabella. Paul accused Ricky of profiting off his family's misery, first with Heather and now with Patty. Ricky reminded Paul that he'd never been treated like a member of the family. Paul was floored as Ricky walked out.
Victor went to the hospital and Sharon informed him that Adam was permanently blind. There'd been no improvement. Sharon said Adam didn't want to go to Hope's farm, but Victor insisted that Sharon make it happen. Adam overheard Sharon and Victor's conversation from his bed when the door was opened. Later, Adam told Sharon to never beg Victor for him again. Sharon explained that Victor had a lot going on but he was interested in Adam's welfare. Adam confessed that he was not the man he was now as when he first arrived in Genoa City. Adam believed that his relationship with Victor had destroyed him, just as his mother had feared when he left home. Before Sharon left, Adam told her that he'd go to the farm after all. Adam wanted to be far away from Victor.
After Nikki left Jack's room, he tried in vain to move his legs. The door opened and Victor walked in. Jack said he'd heard Nikki's good news. Jack wondered if Victor was there to gloat. Victor said that he was happy that Jack had lost Beauty of Nature to Genevieve. Victor claimed that Genevieve would not be able to keep it, though, because Victor intended to get it back. Victor urged Jack to get better so Victor could beat him in the quest for Beauty of Nature.
Later at the ranch, Victor told Nikki that he'd sent the staff home so they could have a private, special celebration. Nikki was guilt-ridden about Kyle. Victor told Nikki to be grateful for the good things in her life. Nikki said that she was grateful for Victor. Victor told Nikki that he'd gone to see Jack. Nikki conceded that she and Victor would always have their differences, like how they felt about Jack. Victor invited Nikki to move back to the ranch and she accepted.
Traci and Ashley went to see Jack and learned that Victor had visited him. Ashley informed Jack that she'd fired Genevieve. Traci added that she'd moved Genevieve's things out of Jack's house. Jack agreed with what his sisters did for him.
Genevieve was at the Gloworm bar where she ordered a stiff drink. Jill arrived and noticed. Jill said she'd also heard that Genevieve had been fired. Genevieve informed Jill that she'd resigned because she was the owner of one of the biggest cosmetic firms in the world. Michael walked over and warned Genevieve that she may not be the owner after all. Michael said that Victor had challenged the legality of the Beauty of Nature sale.
