Brittany tells Billy that her parent's plans got cancelled and they decide to go meet up at the pool house.

Sean shows up and asks about the tapes. Jack tells him they're at the pool house and that's it's ok Mack helps him out. Sean then asks if it's ok Mack work at the pool house while he works at Jabot. They all agree and he leaves to get in touch with Mack. Sean leave. Ashley then asks Jack if he's serious about a relationship with Phyllis and doesn't like it that he might be.

• Raul shows up at the doctor's office. Just before the doctor sees Raul, he reads some letter that arrived for him and seems upset by it. He then checks out Raul. The doctor tells him to check back in 6 weeks if the symptoms persist. Once Raul leaves the doctor pulls out his letter and shakes his head. Raul heads back to school and lets Rianna know how it went. She still seems worried but accepts it as it's the diagnosis of the doctor, though Raul can't stop drinking water as he's constantly thirsty

March 21, 2001

• Warton is surprised to see Victor at his door. Victor asks him why he thinks he's there to accuse him of having something to do with Nick being busted. Warton looks like he slipped up. When asked how he knew Nick was arrested, Warton tells him he heard about it on the news. Victor asks him why he showed up in Genoa City after being paroled and why he relocated to Milwaukee, the same place Nick was opening up another coffee house. Warton gets all defensive. When Warton tries to leave, Victor grabs him and pins him against the door and demands he tell him all he knows. Victor warns him and then lets him go and leaves
• Sharon finds out reporters were at the coffee house and that Carter threw them out. She thanks Carter for doing that. She wants to go see Nick at the jail but forgot she doesn't have a car with her. Carter offers her his car and she accepts. She asks him if he'd mind driving her. He tells her ok and then asks her what her lawyers are doing on the case but she doesn't have much to tell him. She starts to break down and he comforts her. They arrive at the jail and Sharon tries to get him to see Nick but he turns her down
• Jill shows up at the Jabot boardroom to find Brad shaving. She asks him what's up with that and he tells her he was working all night there. They talk about the spring campaign and setting up a board meeting. Ashley shows up and they all talk about Nick Newman and what it might be doing to Nikki. The webmanster Sean shows up. Sean brings up ideas, such as highlights from last summer and New Year's Eve of the Glow Kids leading up to spring break. We get the sense that this guy is flirting with Jill and I think Ashley is picking up on that. He then tells them he'd like to see all the footage from the summer in the pool house and show the public some more stuff but the rest of them don't look too enthused over that as it was a painful one for Mack and Billy and Brittany. Jill tells him that it'll take forever to go through all those tapes but he tells her he'd like help in the form of Mack. Jill tells them all that she's opposed to Mack joining in. Sean leaves and the rest of them argue over Mack and Jack's relationship with Phyllis. Ashley storms out. Jill then wonders if Brad sleeping there last night wasn't because of something more as she noticed Ashley didn't say two words to him during the meeting
• Phyllis shows up at Jack's office. They talk about their relationship. They start kissing. Jill opens the door and sees that but doesn't say a word and leaves. The phone rings and Jack is called out. He leaves and she uses his phone. She then sees Jill in the doorway
• Billy and Mack talk in the halls of the school about a chem test they both wrote. She asks him if she knew if Raul went to the doctor but he doesn't know as he didn't know Raul was sick. She then offers an ear if he ever needs to talk about things with Brittany but he tells her he can handle his own problems, then walks away. She follows him and continues the talk, telling him they could still remain friends, despite all that has happened in the past. He seems open to that. He tells her that it's not that he doesn't want to talk about things but it's that he doesn't know how to explain it. Brittany shows up and throws the trip in Mack's face but Mack tells her that Raul is trying to get Jack to include her as sort of payback for helping them out on New Year's but won't accept if they do ask her to go. Once Brittany leaves, Billy heads to the computer hoping to find the person he was chatting with so he could talk to her. At that moment, Mack sees him logging on and smiles. She then sneaks over to another computer and logs into the chatroom to talk to him
• Neil and Alex talk about the case in his office. He compliments her hard work. Before she leaves, Neil asks her about Malcolm and how he's doing. She tells him he's still miserable and that he told Olivia he won't be supporting her on her stance

March 20, 2001

• Mack rushes into the coffee house all shocked that Nick got arrested. Carter and Cody tell her to just be there for Sharon. Two reporters show up and talk to Carter and Cody. Cody tells them Nick was framed and is innocent, along with denying there was a drug ring going on at the coffee house. Carter takes charge and tells them to leave. After threatening them with the private property thing, they leave. Carter calls Warton and they both laugh over the whole Nick thing. Warton then gets upset that Carter's still in Genoa City. Carter tells him he's still there because Warton's name came up as a suspect. When asked if he was the one to bring it up, Carter tells him it was Cody but Warton wonders if it's not Carter doing this so he could walk away free. Carter denies it and hangs up
• Victor meets with Silva in his office over the case. They discuss the possiblities of Warton being involved when they hear that Warton left town for his new job in Milwaukee, the same place where the police found evidence against Nick.

I tune back in when Olivia shows up and barges in, then notices Alex there in just a shirt. Alex goes to the shower and Olivia and Malcolm talk. He hands her Nate's football. She gets on his case about one minute he's all heartbroken over Nate and the next, he's sleeping with the first available woman. What's it to her what Malcolm does in his personal life? Is he supposed to stay miserable and suffer all of the time? I think she's just pissed off that her plan to hurt him 24/7 isn't working. What a bitch! Once Olivia leaves, Alex comes back down and comforts him. She leaves for work

He tells her his parents aren't going to go for that. They get onto the doctor thing for him but he tells her not to worry about it because he's fine. She suggests him go see the doctor Jack recommended him to but he says no. She threatens to go talk to his parents but he tells her not to, then walks away
