Nikki holed up at Phyllis and Nick's place for the night, staying out of Victor's sight. When Nikki went out for a while, Phyllis and Nick discussed the strained relationship between Nikki and Victor. Later, Nikki went to the bar at the GCAC and met David there. At the hospital to see the baby, Nikki and David found Brad visiting the baby at the nursery window. Brad told Nikki that he felt that as long as remained there, nothing would happen to the baby. David and Nikki told Brad that the baby should have a name, and Brad said he'd considered naming the baby "Arthur" after his dad. Later, Brad fell asleep in the waiting room, and Nikki and David advised him to go home and rest. David stood by Nikki as she kept vigil at the nursery window. David later begged Nikki to go back to his place, but Nikki said that she felt that she owed it to Victoria to keep watch over her little girl's baby.

Sharon paid a visit to Victor and told him that Jack was responsible for sending the police to the ranch. Sharon and Victor passed the time by reminiscing about Sharon's fond memories of her house at the ranch, after which Victor suggested she should stay there. Later, Sharon found a box of photo albums, in which there was a photo of Dru. Sharon's nostalgic moment was interrupted by a call from Brad. Sharon later met Brad at the club. Sharon told Brad that she hoped that the baby is his, and Brad told Sharon that he wanted to name the baby "Arthur." When Brad asked about Jack, Sharon told Brad that Noah loves Jack so much, so she didn't know what to do. Brad answered that he did and that he would help her.

Even though Sharon was away, Jack wasn't alone. John questioned his son about his past actions against Gloria and others. John blamed Jack for pushing Sharon away because she could no longer trust him. Sharon phoned from the ranch and told Jack that she was "home." Jack pleaded with Sharon to come back to him, but Sharon said she wanted to stay at the ranch. Jack told his dad that he deeply loved Sharon, so he was going to the ranch to bring his wife home. But when Jack went to the ranch house, Sharon wouldn't let him in. When Jack arrived back at the mansion, both Jack and John listened to a news report stating the Gloria had produced a letter proving that Jack had influenced his father to change his will. John reminded Jack that he had repeatedly mistreated Gloria when she lived at the Abbott mansion. John recalled the fact that Jack had thought his dad was nuts when he married Gloria and that people thought the same about Sharon when she married Jack. Jack choked up and said that Sharon and Noah are the best part of him, and he vowed that he would get his wife to come back to him.

At the club, Gloria feigned ignorance when Jeffrey showed her his hand, which had been badly burned by the tainted Jabot skin cream he claimed his brother had sent him. When Jeffrey told Gloria that he'd figured out what had happened with the cream, Gloria begged him to share his revelations with her, insisting that she was dying to know, too. Jeffrey explained that his brother must have been heartbroken when he figured out that his beautiful wife had caused a woman's death. Gloria, of course, slowly tilted her head side to side, acting as if Jeffrey's hypothesis was shocking news. Jeffrey then held his chemically-burned hand in front of Gloria's face and told her that the "proof is in the putting on of the cream," and he accused Gloria of having contaminated it. Jeffrey produced the newspaper printed the day that the C.E.O. of Chancellor stepped down when Jabot Cosmetics was sued for wrongful death. Gloria brushed away these so-called clues as mere facts that had nothing to do with her involvement. Jeffrey reminded Gloria that she has wanted the contents of the mysterious package ever since she learned that her late husband had sent the package to his brother. Gloria, however, offered that she wanted the cream for sentimental reasons. Gloria maintained her composure as she asked Jeffrey rhetorically if he really thought she was capable of tainting the cream. Gloria laughed off Jeffrey's notion that William was sending a message about her and reminded Jeffrey that his fingerprints are now all over the jar of cream. Jeffrey promised Gloria that he'd nail her, and she threatened to go to the police with information against him. Jeffrey then produced a note that he said was written by William that stated "If something happens to me; don't let her get away with it." Gloria pointed out the note states "don't let her get away with it." Gloria scoffed that the note didn't state a name. Gloria told Jeffrey that William had previously been involved with Jill, so the note could implicate her. Gloria informed Jeffrey that William would be ashamed of the way his brother was treating his widow, and she bravely walked out of the club. However, when Gloria reached the doorway, she nearly crumpled as she stopped briefly to catch her breath and compose herself.

Neil and Karen shared laughs while they dined at the club as Neil reminisced about Lily's childhood Christmases. However, Victor phoned and demanded that Neil come to the ranch immediately. Karen insisted that Neil go to Victor. Before leaving, Neil and Karen offered a kind word to Nikki. When Neil arrived at Victor's, Victor was ready to tackle serious business issues right away. Victor told Neil that he rued the day he had become involved with Nikki's scheme as the two grappled with mounting insurance claims. However, Neil advised Victor not do make business decisions based on personal reasons. Victor then ordered Neil to call in the Clear Springs loan. Neil reminded Victor that Nikki and her company would most likely suffer bankruptcy as a result of Victor's decision, but Victor ordered that it be done, anyway.

Colleen calls her dad and asks if he's okay. He says that he's fine; he just wants to find out if the baby is his. Colleen says that she can't wait to find out if he's her baby brother. She just wishes that if that were true, it wouldn't break J.T.'s heart.

J.T. takes a shot of alcohol and sits on the couch. He looks through Victoria's sewing bag and finds a sweater that she was sewing for the baby. When someone knocks on the door, J.T. yells for them to go away. Colleen is persistent, and J.T. finally opens the door. J.T. asks Colleen what she's doing there.

But when Colleen pulls a pasta dish out of the microwave, he asks Colleen if she pulled it out of the freezer. J.T. gets upset. He says that Victoria had made that dish and they were supposed to have it together. Colleen apologizes and wonders if there is anything she can do.

Victor and Neil watch the baby. Victor tells Neil that the baby had a little trouble breathing but he is okay now. He explains that the doctor will take a blood test to see if there is carbon dioxide in the baby's lungs, and that Brad suggested they take a paternity test at the same time. Victor says that it would be good to hear that Brad is not the father. Neil says to have hope, one day Victoria will be awake and will hold that baby in her arms and everything will be alright. The doctor tells Victor that the baby is breathing on his own again. Victor goes in to see him. He tells the baby boy how much Victoria wants to see him.

Brad asks the doctor how the baby is doing. The doctor tells him that he will have to ask the Newman's. Brad goes to Victor and tells him that he went to the ranch, and isn't allowed to see Victoria.

She says that until he succeeds, there will be no announcement. He agrees, and says that they should begin right away. Michael, Kevin, and Lauren walk into the club just at the moment Jeffrey begins kissing Gloria. Jeffrey sees them and says that they should all have dinner together.
