You had to know that Victor would find away to help Nick without Nick helping him. And Sharon's little chat with Victor about giving Nick a job at Newman kinda back fired on Jack. Instead of the job Victor gave Nick the money to follow his dreams.
Then for Jack to go to Nikki and try is BS on her. I loved it when she said to him "you are right, but should we have done before Victor gave Nick the Line of Credit and you got screwed.
Bravo Nikki couldn't has said it better myself.

Now Jack is going to recruit Adam, then Brad and thus forms the dasteredly trio.

As I said in another blog though, with Victoria back at Newman, and Nick in charge of the Magazine this could prove to be interesting.

So now you will have in one corner Adam, Jack and Brad and in the other corner, Nick and Victoria, oh wait we need one more. Well how is this Nick, Victoria and Neil.

I have to say that yesterday I saw a look in Neil's face and in his eyes I have only seen in one other person and that was Victor and he was in charge. I think you are going to see a new Neil, a very protective of the business Neil, and heaven help anyone who tries to bring it down.

So with Nick, Victoria and Neil in the other corner: LET THE GAMES BEGIN
