At Restless Style, Jack and Phyllis traded barbs about his impending divorce from Sharon. Jack wondered why she wasn't more worried about Nick and Sharon being alone in New York and suspected that she was up to something. After, she got a call from Nick informing her that he's not coming home as soon as he planned because his flight was cancelled. Nick then told her that Brad was there.... and had said that the reason he was in New York was because of Phyllis. Uh-oh. Phyllis stammered about how she could've mentioned that he and Sharon were in New York on business, then hastily ended the conversation. Meanwhile, Sharon asked Brad if Phyllis sent him there; Brad confirmed that Phyllis told him about the divorce and where to find Sharon. Brad reminded her that he'd go anywhere to be there for her. Sharon was furious, especially over the fact that he'd teamed up with Phyllis. Brad apologized. "Maybe you just showed your true colors," Sharon sighed. Brad the told her and Nick that Phyllis was the one who broke up Jack and Sharon's marriage.

At the jail, Rafe met with Adam to discuss Adam's case. Adam was confident that Victor would get him out of prison, but Rafe wasn't so sure. In fact, he told Adam, Victor was listed as the first witness for the prosecution. Meanwhile, Heather met with Victor at the GCAC to talk about the case; she wanted to offer Adam a deal rather than taking it to trial. Soon Ashley and Abby joined them. Ash was surprised when Abby shared that Victor gave her an elaborate gift — a new horse. Victor then resumed discussing the case with Heather and was confident that Jack was involved in the forged diary. He implored her to prosecute Abbott. Later, Ashley worried that Victor went overboard in giving Abby a horse, but Victor was happy to dote on his daughter.

Jack questioned Phyllis about why Brad seemed to keep popping up everywhere and concluded that she had something to do with Brad being in New York. Phyllis denied it, but Jack was sure that she sent Carlton there. He blamed her for being part of the reason his marriage to Sharon collapsed. He was furious with her for being in cahoots with Brad and had let his and Phyllis's business rivalry affect their personal lives. "I expected you to go for the jugular, and instead you went for the heart," he cried. Meanwhile, Nick was upset over Phyllis's actions and couldn't understand why she did this. "I warned you, Jack," she snapped. "I told you to take care of your marriage. You lied to your wife over and over. I needed to protect myself against Sharon going after my husband yet again after you screwed things up." "Is your marriage in that kind of trouble," Jack taunted. Phyllis replied that her marriage was none of his business, then exploded at him for ruining his marriage to Sharon and putting Sharon in Nick's path. Still, Phyllis was confident that Nick loved her.... In New York, Sharon could understand why Phyllis did what she did, noting that she and Nick do share an intense connection. Nick was still angry with his wife.

Eden and Noah met at Crimson Lights, where Noah told her how excited he was to have Abby back home. Eden then mocked a young woman all dressed in riding clothes ... who was, of course, Abby. They shared an awkward greeting. Abby then joined them and showed off her horse photos. Eden noted that several people could be fed with the amount of money the horse cost. Needless to say, Eden and Abby did not get off to a very good start.

Heather paid Adam a visit and informed him that a deal for him was being put on the table. Adam still held out hope that Victor would get him released. Heather informed him that Victor wanted to make sure that any deal they made would include jail time for Adam. She offered a deal where he'd stay in jail for 18 months. Heather explained that she didn't want the case to go to trial, and that if it did, he'd probably do an even longer stint in jail. She called the deal "a gift." Adam reluctantly accepted it.

Meanwhile, Victor told Ashley that he hoped Adam accepted his terms. Ashley didn't understand how he could purchase expensive gifts for one of his children and send another to prison. "Adam set me up for murder. Do you expect me to buy him a present?" Victor asked. Later, Victor asked Abby to call him "Dad." Ashley didn't know how to respond to that.

Brad called Phyllis and informed her that he told Nick and Sharon everything about her scheming. "How could you do something so stupid?" she asked. She hung up, the worry evident on her face. Phyllis then called Nick.... and Sharon answered the phone. Phyllis wondered why she picked up. "We're on our way home," Sharon told her flatly, then coldly hung up on Phyllis.
