Phyllis awakened and found Nick in bed with her. He reported that he'd gotten home late after dealing with Noah. Phyllis didn't think Noah attending a party was a big deal, but Nick explained that there was beer at the event. Phyllis wondered if Sharon was having a hard time dealing.

Meanwhile, Sharon took Noah to Crimson Lights for breakfast. Noah was annoyed with her for making him get up early on the weekend, but she had a specific punishment in mind for him — cleaning out the stalls at the Newman Ranch.

Jack wondered how Billy was enjoying being back in town. Billy compared it to the Twilight Zone, explaining that he now had a new brother, Cane, who was in charge of Jabot. Jack was confident that Cane would only have the position until they got Jabot back. Gloria interrupted and used a code Subject — termites — to bring up the Jabot scheme. Billy noticed Glo's bracelet and remarked about her spending John's money; she replied that it was a gift from Jeffrey. After she left, Billy wondered why Jack was letting her live at the Abbott manse. Jack explained that he was trying to keep his enemies close.

Billy went to Jabot, where Jill and Kay were arguing over Cane's decision to make Colleen the Fresh Face of Jabot (Jill was against it; Kay was for it). Kay was thrilled to see her grandson. Meanwhile, Gloria and Jack chatted about Jabot; he reported that Billy and Traci gave him their proxies. Gloria stated that they shouldn't rush Kay about her stocks, but he pushed her to make things happen quickly.... Billy questioned Jill about having Cane be the new CEO of Jabot. Jill explained that they were in the middle of a crisis and had to act quickly. Billy was still upset that she hadn't called on him. After, Billy made a call to check on a company that was the third largest shareholder of Jabot.

Jana and Kevin were all lovey-dovey at Crimson Lights. Kevin then picked up the paper and learned that River's trial was being moved to Genoa City. Meanwhile, Lauren read the same article at home. Michael regretted telling Eden that River was being tried for murder; Eden wanted to go to the prison to talk to her father. Later, Eden confronted River about the article in the paper. He claimed his innocence and said that he didn't want her to worry. Eden was upset with him for lying to her. Michael tried to assure her that the case wasn't hopeless, but Eden freaked and ran out of the room. Later, Lauren tried to comfort Eden, who was still reeling from the news.... Michael advised River on how to make himself more presentable to the jury. Michael wanted to use Eden as a character witness, but River refused to let that happen.

At the coffeehouse, Gloria watched as Kevin chatted with Kay. Later, Glo again implored Kevin to take advantage of Kay's "senior moments" so they could get her Jabot stock. Later, Gloria instructed Kevin to hotwire Kay's car and move it a few blocks so she'd think she couldn't remember where she put it. The plan worked and a confused Kay wondered why she couldn't find her vehicle. Glo and Kevin "helped" her find it.

Sharon returned home and filled in Jack on the Noah drama. Jack flashed back to seeing her and Nick embracing. Jack felt badly that he hadn't been around to help; Sharon replied that Nick was there. Sharon then asked Jack about his trip and he lied that it was "uneventful." He wondered why she'd doubted he was with Ashley; Sharon explained that Phyllis put the idea into her head.... At Restless Style, Nick asked Phyllis why she'd told Sharon Jack was lying about his whereabouts. Phyll replied that she felt Sharon deserved to know the truth. Nick insisted that Jack hadn't been lying to Sharon and implored his wife to get along with Sharon for Noah's sake. Phyllis was ready to move on and presented him with their first issue of Restless Style. Nick was furious when he read Phyllis's editor's note, which blasted Jack and Sharon.... Sharon was still angry with Jack for not telling her that he'd also went to New York in addition to L.A. Jack apologized and promised to keep her in the loop next time. Later, Nick paid Sharon a visit and apologized to her for Phyllis's note. He made sure that Sharon knew that he didn't share his wife's opinion.... Billy questioned Jack about the company he did a background check on, but Jack insisted that he wasn't associated with it. Billy suspected that Gloria was Jack's silent partner, but when he asked Jack, his brother denied it. Billy wasn't convinced.
