It was supposed to be a routine flight, an attempt to return to normalcy. But it was anything but normal.
Eric Braeden (Victor Newman) was aboard an Air Canada flight that was forced to make an emergency landing late last week. Braeden alerted the flight crew that a passenger was allegedly smoking in the plane's restroom.

The plane was escorted by fighter jets back to Los Angeles International Airport where the man was arrested.
