Abby asked Victoria and Nick what would happen with their money if they won their suit. Victoria noted that it might take a while before all the paperwork cleared. Nick went to Victoria's front door to pick up the paper and a story about their family's suit was on the front page....At Crimson Lights, Michael accused Leslie of leaking information about the suit to the press, but she denied it. She also noted that Michael's client is the "poster boy for underhanded tricks.".... Adam paid Victor a visit at Newman Enterprises and demanded that his father tell everyone what he knows about Skye. Victor replied that if Adam wants to keep Sharon out of prison for Skye's "murder," he'll have to testify on Victor's behalf at the hearing and to say that the trust documents are a fraud. Adam asked what incentive Victor would have to tell the authorities that he set up Skye's disappearance; Adam also feared that he'd end up in prison if he perjured himself. Victor handed him some documents to "sweeten the deal." It was a trust he'd created for Adam.

Sharon ran into Nick at the coffeehouse and asked him about the footage of Victor in Hawaii, and insisted that she can handle her own battles. Nick replied that he was fighting Victor for his own reasons. "I am through with my dad and I'm sure you are, too," he stated. Sharon reminded him how he and Victor were estranged after Nick turned him in a few years ago, but Nick didn't care.... Abby was aghast as she read the nasty article about the Newman siblings. Victoria assured her that when they won they'd be vindicated.

Sofia and Malcolm dined at Gloworm, but she kept thinking about her steamy encounter with Neil. Mal asked if they could put their problems behind them and she agreed.... Neil also thought about Sofia and advised Tucker to rehire her. Tucker refused, explaining that he needed to be able to trust his employees. Neil asked if Tucker has never made a mistake or decision that he'd regretted later. Tucker wondered why Neil was Sofia's champion. Neil answered that he'd been wrong about Sofia and that she's a rare talent. He added that she'd just been protecting Lily and the twins. "She's an honorable woman," Neil said. "I think you need her." Later, Neil called Sofia and asked her to meet Tucker right away. Sofia and Mal went to the office and Tucker asked Sofia to talk. He offered to rehire her and she eagerly accepted. Tucker told her to thank Neil. Mal told Neil that he owes him for getting him and Sofia back on track. Neil replied that he was happy for his brother. Sofia joined them and shared her good news.

Michael arrived at NE and Victor asked him to explain the terms of the trust to Adam. Adam still wasn't sure he was going to show up at the hearing, but Victor pointed out that Adam would be a hero to Sharon — and would be a very wealthy man. After, Nick went to see Victor and asked if they could settle things privately and avoid the media blitz. Victor blamed Nick for the family getting bad press.

Victoria went to the coffeehouse and ran into an old colleague, Lisa. Lisa revealed that she'd been let go from Newman Enterprises, thanks to the feud between the Newman kids and Victor.... Meanwhile, Abby went to Gloworm to do an interview for the Naked Heiress. However, the journalist wanted a story about Abby screwing over her dad. Later, Abby complained to Victoria about the paparazzi chasing her, while Victoria filled her in on her encounter with Lisa. Nick joined them and shared that his meeting with Victor hadn't gone well. He wondered if their father still believed he had the upper hand.

Adam and Sharon returned home; she was surprised to find him talking to a lawyer. He admitted that he'd gone to see Victor. Adam was confident that his father would come around, but Sharon wasn't so sure. She hoped that Adam didn't make a deal with the "devil." Adam promised not to do anything rash and wouldn't give her any more details. "Don't worry," he stated, but she was very concerned about what was about to happen.... Michael asked Victor if he'd lost his mind by teaming up with Adam and warned that what Newman was doing was illegal. Victor didn't care and promised that nothing would happen to Michael.

The Newmans met for the arbitration. Michael announced that they've just obtained new information. Adam then entered and announced that he's a witness. Sharon followed him to the courthouse, but was too late to stop him. Adam explained to the judge how he'd meddled with his siblings' trusts and forged Victor's signature. Victor gleefully told his kids that their case was based on a fraud and they had nothing.
