Thanks to March Madness, we had no Y/R for two days, but it's back this morning! It'll start in 4 minutes.
Sharon tells Brad that it's too late to keep Phyllis happy - she's already pissed her off, but Sharon's counting on Phyllis not throwing her whole life away with this blackmail. Brad figures they won't need to worry about it because with Neil on the board, he'll vote with Victor and Phyllis won't need Brad's vote for the Clear Springs project.
Niki is going to run for a seat on the NE board to Victoria's delight, and Victor's displeasure. Jack is concerned that if Niki takes the seat, and Neil loses, they won't be able to fund Clear Springs. Victor says not to worry, he knows what he's doing.
Lily kisses Daniel goodbye as she leaves for class. He has only 4 pages left to write in his term paper, she says if he's done when she gets back, they'll celebrate. Amber calls him and wants to come over. She's depressed, doesn't know what to do about Cane. Daniel tells her his paper can wait, come on over.
Jill visits Lauren to discuss the Extreme Catwalk thing. Gloria joins them, all are upbeat and optimistic. Gloria and Jill differ in how they'll present themselves as judges. Jill wants to be just herself and Gloria encourages her to be a bit more vicious.
Phyllis complains to Jack about Sharon's nasty remarks about her to David. Jack asks her as an enormous favour to him, to let it go. Then they discuss the board seat, and how they have to do everything they can to make the Clear Springs project a GO. Meanwhile, Victoria tells Brad about Niki's bid for the seat and they have to make sure she wins it so they can stop Clear Springs dead.
Amber's at Daniel's, griping that Cane isn't a Chancellor and now he's booking 2 seats to Australia. She's angry, caught in her own game.
Amber complains to Daniel that she can't leave GC - she has friends etc. there. Daniel recommends that she talk to Cane about this, she says she can't. She loves Cane, but she can't leave. (I'm so glad she's leaving the show, LOL.)
Gloria, Jill and Lauren have fun running over how they'll present themselves at Extreme Catwalk. Funny. Jill gets a call from the producers - they're sending a camera crew over to film them at work. All are excited.
Phyllis and Sharon in the NE Break Room. Whoa - Phyllis demands an apology from Sharon for misrepresenting her to David, and Sharon complies, making Phyllis gloat a bit. Sharon begs Phyllis not to say anything and ruin another marriage. Phyllis cocks her head and smiles, as in "talk all ya want, honey, but I've got the upper hand here, and you know it". Phyllis points out that Sharon's a hypocrite in this case, Sharon tries to keep the conversation civil, Phyllis makes the point that the only real issue here is the vote for the CS project.
Jack presents his CS prospectus to Brad. Victor and Niki are not in agreement about CS and there's a rift growing between them, big time.
Amber and Daniel again. She's still going on about how she doesn't want to go to Australia. Daniel makes reference to her photos on the internet, says he didn't post any comments because he wasn't sure they were really of her - no face. She offers to take her shirt off right now and prove to him that it was indeed her in the pics.
Amber explains that the first rule of putting porn pics on the internet is never include your face. Daniel asks if Cane knows about her little hobby. No, but then again he has the real deal.
Jack leaves the file with Brad, Victoria barges in, bumps into Jack. Brad tells her Jack's project looks pretty good and Victoria is appalled by his change of heart regarading CS.
Gloria, Lauren and Jill at GCAC having drinks, laughing about the EC thing. They toast to their upcoming success.
Jack is excited about his positive meeting with Brad, and upon hearing this, Phyllis flashes back to her conversation with Brad about the room service fellow at the hotel. And in walks Ji Min, Phyllis exits. Jack thanks him, asks him to stop Gloria from going on Extreme Catwalk because she'll make a mockery of the Abbott name and possibly tarnish his campaign.
Phyllis tells Brad he had no right to drag Sharon into this, says she has quite the mouth on her, then rubs Brad;'s face in his....lost signal from Newfoundland. Ugh. I hope it comes back.
Viki and Victor have a tense exchange about CS. Then a flashback to Brad telling Sharon to keep Phyllis happy and not provoke her.
Sharon apologises to Jack for running off at the mouth to David about Phyllis, Jack says it's okay now. He tells her he had a fascinating conversation with Brad about CS and feels that Brad will end up voting against his wife.
Daniel is curious about Amber's little pastime. She offers to show him how to log on and participate. He's a bit reluctant, but too curious to reject the idea, so far.
Ji Min joins the ladies at GCAC, makes pleasantries, compliments GLoria and asks her to lead the Dutch team (?), and she'll be gone for about 2 weeks, leaving immediately. Gloria says she can't go because of EC. Jill intervenes, asks Ji Min to change the timing of the launch and he agrees. (So much for stopping Gloria, LOL.)
JAck tells Phyllis he spoke to Sharon and she's agreed to move past the disagreements they have had. Ha! Sharon's with Brad, says she hates Phyllis. Brad says they don't have any options here, and he'll vote for CS if he has to. He has to figure a way to get Victoria on board, too.
Niki and Victoria talk about their husbands' stubbornness. Niki says if Victor respects her, he'll support her for taking a seat on the board. Victor overhears.
Lily walks in on Amber and Daniel at the computer. She's surprised to see her there, asks what's going on.
Next:
Gloria and Jill clink glasses, toast "to EC, here we come". Ji Min looks on.
Victor asks Niki if she's going to try to convince him to vote for her rather than neil Winters (for the board seat).
Victoria says that everyone is voting in their best interest, right? Phyllis responds that she's counting on it.
ooh yeah, so glad that Sharon and Brad are finally getting their due..I hate that Phyllis is doing all the blackmailing alone...Wish she confided in Nick
Yeah, so do I! I don't want Phyllis and Nick split up over this.
The story that really bugs me these days is the Daniel/Amber thing. You just know that this is going to cause a problem when Lily finds out, and I don't even like this Lily, LOL.
