At Restless Style, Sharon and Nick pass the phone as they speak to Noah. The room is a buzz of activity as the launch of the first issue nears. Jack suggests to Phyllis that the website is not 'restless' enough - he tells her he can get Jamie Whitfield, a retired fashion magazine mogul to take a look at it. Phyllis says that sounds good. Just then, Victoria stops by and tells her brother that working at Jabot is good, except for having to work with Brad! She then breaks the news that Nikki and David have set a wedding date. Back over at the computer, Sharon and Phyllis debate about writers. Jack suggests they get both writers to do a piece, then they'll run the best one! At Restless Style, everyone is arguing over having a blue or fuchsia call-out, when Jack walks in with Jamie Whitfield, who is laughing at their ideas! Jack introduces her to the dubious group. Whitfield tells them she is there to 'save them from themselves"! As the fab four sit down to meet with Jamie Whitfield, Victoria, preparing to leave, takes the proof of the Jabot ad with her to show Nikki. As Nick walks Vikki to the elevator, she advises him to listen to Jamie Whitfield. He cringes, but agrees. Over in the meeting area, Sharon gushes about being a big fan of Jamie's work and Amber rushes to get the woman coffee!
As Nikki and David dine at the Club, Nikki spots Victor and Sabrina at the bar area. She approaches and greets Sabrina graciously before asking her ex for a word alone. They go aside, and Nikki demands to know what's going on with Victoria - why is he pushing his children away?! He tells her that she is interpreting the events wrong, and that is typical. Nikki tells him she pushed Victoria out! Victor explains that she was offered her old position back and she didn't want it. She tells him that he obviously favored Adam. She then calls him on deciding he wanted Victoria's friend Sabrina and just taking her! She tells him he is pathetic! She stalks away as Victor is still sputtering at her! He then orders a shot of Tequila! Later, Nikki and David happen upon Adam. She asks why he isn't out celebrating having gotten rid of Victoria! He tells her he truly believes she was an asset at Newman! David leers at Adam, "You must really think you've hit the jackpot!" Nikki pipes up, "What would your mother think?" Adam, smiling in David's direction, replies, "My mother would tell me to be honest about everything!" Adam then says that the truth is that Newman has suffered an enormous loss by Victoria resigning. Nikki refuses to believe his sincerity and he tells them he no longer wishes to have this conversation. After they leave, he seems upset.
At Crimson Lights, Colleen tells Kevin that she and Adrian had a major fight about the book and he has gone to see her father! Kevin suggests she call and warn Brad. As she dials the number, Adrian arrives in Brad's office at Jabot and says, "I believe you have something that belongs to me." Brad holds up the book. "You must mean this." Back at the coffee house, Michael has arrived and is chatting with Kevin. Colleen comes over and asks Jana about her job, and Kevin whisks Michael away. He tells him, "It's Adrian Korbel's book - you've got to kill it!" In the meantime, Adrian gets into it with Brad over the book. Adrian claims that the story needs to be told! Brad takes a deep breath and says he would like time to read it. Adrian says he'll send him a copy when it publishes. Brad glares and throws him the advanced copy he has been holding in his hand. Adrian curtly says, "Thank you." Back at Crimson Lights, Michael asks if Kevin has read the book. He admits he hasn't, but says Colleen has and it goes into detail about Carmen's murder. He pleads with Michael to kill the book, so Jana's life and her new job won't be affected. Michael says there is nothing he can do, but Kevin begs for his help. Michael then receives a call from Brad Carlton!
Michael arrives at Jabot to meet with Brad, who tries to hire him on the spot. Michael says Brad can afford his retainer, but he'd hate to see him waste his money! He explains that he knows all about the book through Kevin. Back at Crimson Lights, Kevin tells Colleen that Michael told him that if everything in the book is true - there isn't much he can do! Meanwhile, Amber rushes in to talk to Jana. She says she just met Jamie Whitfield! She then admits to Jana that she asked Daniel to move in with her, but he hasn't really replied to her. Jana says men can be a bit thick. At that exact moment, at Restless Style, Daniel asks Phyllis if she will give him an extra key to the Penthouse - Amber asked him to move in and he wants to surprise her. Phyllis makes a face, but eventually gives him the key! Nearby, Jamie is getting into it with Sharon about making changes to the look of the magazine. Jamie hollers at Sharon that she is so green! Phyllis tries to jump in and tell Jamie that they'll make the changes, but Sharon continues to resist. Jamie accuses Sharon of wanting to go home to a comfortable bed rather than do the work that needs to be done! Sharon glares and Jamie jumps up and takes Jack aside. She tells him that they are making numerous blunders and mistakes! She says that he should have called her much sooner! Jack sighs. Back at the coffeehouse, Jana and Kevin discuss how happy she is, and he worries that it is all going to come to an end with Adrian's book. Over at Jabot, Michael asks Brad to show him the book. Brad tells him he gave it back to Korbel to keep him off his back, but then asks Michael to wait a moment! At home, Adrian tells Colleen smugly that her father gave him back the book, and that he told Brad he would send him a copy of the book when it's published. Colleen is surprised. Back at Jabot, Brad presents Michael with 'his' photocopy of the book. Michael grins about the copyright infringement. Brad says Michael should look at the red circled items - they are all inaccuracies! He tells Michael to make sure the publisher knows that they have the resources to drag this through court eternally. "This book will never see the light of day!"
At home at the Newman Ranch, Victor tells Sabrina that something came in the mail. He presents her with a gift-wrapped box. She opens it to find an original Barbie doll from 1959. She is thrilled as he explains he knew about her collection from back when she and Victoria were in Florence together. He tells her he loves her, and she says she is sorry that this love came at such a high price. He replies that anything worth having comes with a cost. Meanwhile, at their home, Nikki is also presented with a gift from David - brochures for them to choose their honeymoon! They gleefully discuss possible places to travel. Back at the Ranch, Sabrina heads up to bed, and Victor gets on the phone to confirm a 'delivery' to the gallery the following day at a specific time.

She informs him that she is on her way home to her family, and says she hopes he enjoys his work. After she leaves, Adam calls Victor and leaves a message accepting his offer to move into the Ranch!

After the elevator door closes, Phyllis and Sharon are finally on the same page, as they agree that they'd like the woman's car to take her to Canada! Meanwhile, Nick and Jack are meeting.
