Sharon paid Victor a visit at Newman Enterprises and welcomed him back. Like Victor, she hoped that Nick would continue to work at the company. After, they discussed Noah; Sharon feared that she overreacts over Noah's sometimes rebellious behavior, but Victor thought it was natural for her to be concerned. Next, Sharon revealed that she and Jack were separated. "I'm sorry if you're hurting, but I honestly think you and my grandson are better off without him," Victor stated.

Meanwhile, Phyllis asked Nick if he gave Victor his notice for leaving Newman. Nick replied that he still had some work to finish up. Phyllis feared that Restless Stylewas flailing since their cover model was in an accident. Phyllis then got a call that the press that printed the magazine crashed. She pleaded with Nick to help her out and Victor hooked them up with a new printer. Vic then asked Sharon and Nick to go to New York together to do a presentation for Newman. Phyllis was less than thrilled to hear about his travel plans. "It's just business," he explained. Phyllis insisted that she wasn't worried about Sharon; she was concerned that she'd again have to handle the magazine by herself. He was insulted when she claimed that the magazine was a hobby for him. Later, Nick decided that he was going to keep working both jobs. Phyllis was dubious that he could give enough attention to both, but Nick was eager to work with his father again. Phyllis warned him that in the past, he hadn't liked the way Victor had treated him. However, Victor later assured Nick that Nick would have the freedom to handle both jobs.

Jeffrey again visited Gloria in jail and informed her that her arraignment was that morning. Glo hoped this meant she'd be getting released soon. After, Gloria caught up with Katherine, who asked why Glo was in jail. "A misunderstanding," Gloria replied, trying to evade the question. Kay kept pushing for an answer; Gloria finally admitted that she was arrested for product tampering and possibly manslaughter, but had been told not to discuss the case by Michael. A miffed Kay suggested they not talk at all, but was touched when Gloria stated that she believed Kay is well, Kay.

At Crimson Lights, Michael lectured Kevin about Kevin and Jana going through Nick and Phyllis's home for the money. Kevin argued that the money was really theirs since Jana had given it to River, and then Noah took it. He reminded Kev that the money belonged in Kay's estate. Kevin dared Michael to turn them in, but Michael simply suggested that his brother think about what he'd done. Later, Michael questioned Eden about the money she and Noah found and informed her that the cash was headed back to its rightful owner.

Also at the coffeehouse, Noah was busted when one of his friends noted that Noah wasn't at a New Year's Eve party. Sharon realized that her son had been with Eden that evening. Later, Noah lied to Phyllis about having to do schoolwork and went to meet up with Eden to discuss the money. Sharon was furious when she learned that Phyllis let him go; Phyll told her she needed to loosen her "death grip." A furious Sharon demanded that Phyllis raise Noah the way she and Nick want him raised. Phyllis retorted that she wanted Sharon to remember that Nick isn't her husband.

Neil and Karen arrived at Newman hand in hand. The secretary welcomed them as Mr. and Mrs. Winters. They were surprised to hear that Victor had returned. Victor then revealed that he'd asked Nick to return, as well. Neil had a hard time hiding his disappointment and was concerned that he'd now take a back seat to Victor's children. Newman was determined to keep Neil happy because he didn't want to lose him as an employee. Neil didn't want to have to answer to Nick or Victoria.

Michael and Heather met up to discuss Gloria's case. Meanwhile, Gloria tried to jog Kay's memories about the various boards Kay sat on and how she likes to drink jasmine tea. Kay recalled it came from Crimson Lights. Later, Gloria went to be arraigned. Michael informed her that the bail was set and all she had to do was plead "Not guilty." Surprisingly, Gloria now didn't seem to be so eager to leave the prison. However, she did plead not guilty ‹ only she complained about the judge taking her passport away. Her bail was denied and she was returned to custody. Michael was shocked at his mother's outburst.... Kevin visited Kay in jail and explained their connection. Kay perked up when he mentioned that his mother is Gloria. She then remembered leaving her money at Kevin's shop.
