Victoria, Nick and Nikki are at the ranch - filthy, messy, all mail is unopened. Zapatto is okay, someone has been feeding him. Victor is MIA.
Gloria and Jeff talk about taking over Jabot. She claims she is meeting with kay later to work out the details of getting 5% of her Jabot stocks. (She must be lying about that to account for the stocks she had bought secretly.)
Ugh, Eden - she admits that she has never gone to school before. Lauren talks her into it.
Mikey wants to take over River's case but he continues to decline, professes his innocence.
Jack with Traci and Ashley in NYC having breakfast. Small talk until they get down to business - Jabot, a giant opportunity for their family. He needs their proxies in order fro them to take over again.
Nick agonises because Victor never read his letter.
Jeff learns first hand from Kay that she most certainly did NOT agree to sell Gloria 5%.
Nikii, Victoria and Nick figure that Michael must know where Victor is, and that he must have had help to escape from the hospital. Yep, Mike knows but it's confidential. Victor is safe and is exactly where he wants to be. Nikki vetoes tracking him down, says he needs time alone to heal, just let him go.
Ugh, more old hippie crap, poor Mikey tries again and again to convince River he needs him on his case. Mike finally gives up and leaves, says he (River/Lowell) doesn't so much need a lawyer as a shrink.
Cane is miffed that Jill is looking over his shoulder all the time at Jabot. She tells him that he should never have launched a particular new line without consulting her. He asks her to let him do his job.
LOL, Traci has pencils in her hair. I know they're supposed to be some Japanese thing but they look ridiculous, Jack's doing his best to convince his sisters to work with him to regain control of Jabot. They want MORE info and Jack won't give it, says the less they know about his inside person, at this point, the better.
Jeff confronts Gloria about her lie about Kay, STOP LYING to him. She says she only lied because she loves him. (HUH???)
Kay rather enjoys Jill's discomfort with Cane's new product line, says payback's a bitch since Jill had been complaining for years about Kay's meddling in HER decisions.
And more filler in the River story, Mike's going crazy, Lauren bucking him up. Ugh. Sorry - I just don't like this story.
