Victor looks on as mostly dead Hope tells their 27 year old (!!!!!) son that Victor is the biological father. Hugs, hugs.
Cane and Lily go to Indigo, Lily is uncomfortable being at her dad's club but admires Cane's guts for bringing her there.
Jack and Sharon, also at Indigo, toast to their new magazine and to getting rid of Gloria. Jack is optimistic a new magistrate he spoke to will help.
Hope asks her son to give Victor a chance.
Kevin breaks the news to Gloria that Jeff admitted to falling in love with her. Gloria insists Jeff is snowing Kevin. Whoa!! Good scene as she warns Kevin that if she even suspects that he's been seduced over to Jeff's side, she will disown him. Yaps about loyalty and her expectations. (Talk about painting her as super-evil, lol.) They continue with their poisoning plan, clink coffee cups.
Jeff pours himself a drink back home at the Abbott house and toasts Gloria's portrait, thanking her for making him a wealthy kept man, but swears that he's going to keep a step ahead of her - he knows she's up to something. Then he plants a nanny cam in the living room, lol.
Meanwhile, Jack gets a good news phone call, grabs Sharon and thet both happily go off to break the news to Gloria.
Scene with Karen, Neil, Lily and Cane where Lily again mentions Chloe's determination to fit her into a minus 3 double zero dress size.
Gloria enters the Abbott living room, Jeff turns on the pressure for her to "be nice to him" because jail is just a phone call away. Another good scene.
Ho hum - Victor and Vic in Hope's kitchen agree that they are at a standoff as the kid won't cozy up to Victor. Victor leaves the house, Vic goes back up to his mother who is in really bad shape now.
Cane wows Neil with the gift of a rare jazz LP he got from his jazz fan uncle in Oz.
Gloria, unaware that she is right in front of the nanny cam, poisons her own drink, takes a sip, leaves glass on table, day dreams about poisoning Jeff - funny scene from yesterday's preview.
Jack and Sharon arrive with their "great news" for Gloria and Jeff. He announces that the judge made another ruling and he and Sharon will be moving back in, BUT there are going to be major changes made in their living arrangements.
Dying Hope begs Vic Jr., again, to give Victor a chance.
Karen tries to get Neil to take on a healthier perspective of Cane.
Amber explains to Jana why she's moving out of the apartment, that she loves being alone, needs space to work on her designs. Jana wants to find Amber a "strapping young bloke".
There's still a few more minutes left, but except for some Jack, Gloria and Jeff scenes, it's ho hum-ish today. The Hope and Vic Jr. scenes are flat. Too bad, that could have been good stuff. At this point, I think they should have killed her off off-screen and saved us all that schtick.
Boring bit with Cane and Neil at Indigo.
Ha! Jack and Sharon spell out the judge's orders for living together in the house, pisses off Gloria and Jeffery because there will be rigid rules that Jack and Sharon intend to abide by. And they're moving back in tomorrow morning. Jack gets to call the shots per judge's orders.
More boring Indigo Neil, Cane, Karen, Lily. Neil is softening up on Cane.
Things heat up for Lily and Cane - she wants to make love but they don't have anywhere to go. She's going to find them a place for Valentine's Day so they can have sex. Kisses.
Then Amber glum, Jana and Kevin tease her.
Back to Jack and Sharon needling Glo and Jeff. Yay!
And I think Hope just conked. Hard to tell.
Next:
Victoria asks her mother if the baby decision thing was the last straw for her and Victor.
Jana and Kevin overhear Amber asking to pay six months rent up front in cash (of some random lessor, I gather). They drop their jaws.
