She tells him she was talking to Victor about Nick but also feels like there's problems between her and Brad over every little thing lately. First Jack and now Victor. They start having words. He tells her that he'll always have that reaction seeing her with Victor. They seem to settle things as they end up kissing
• Carter goes back to his apartment to find Tricia waiting for him with a nice dinner prepared. He acts all rough with her, saying he's not in the mood. She tries to get him to talk about it and he tells her that Nick is about to get out on bail. She doesn't see why that should bother him so much. Carter tells her that he's always hated Nick. She puts the story together about Nick selling the drugs and Carter's friend, Jordan, dying from those same drugs. He then babbles about nailing Sharon too and Tricia is all confused about that. He tells her that she doesn't have a clue about what's going on. She says that's the same thing Warton told her but he shuts her up and then goes to take a shower
• Mack waits for an answer from Billy but he tells her it's a personal question and doesn't want to talk about it with her. She then assumes it's true and Billy doesn't deny it. She almost tells him about the last night in the pool house but then asks him if he's happy with Brittany. Brittany comes in and listens in but interrupts them when she hears Billy say to Mack "why are you asking about my sex life?". She takes Billy upstairs
• Raul wakes up and apologizes to Rianna for dozing off. He starts adjusting the brightness of the computer screen and gets hostile when she asks him about his eyesight.

She leaves in a way that says "fine, do what you want, I don't care anymore"
• Victoria and Ryan end up in bed together. Ryan gets a call on his cell phone. It's Tricia calling. She tells him she's calling just to say hi and to check in with him. She hangs up on him after saying all is ok with her and her guy

Once he finishes playing, he comes over to talk to Jill and Sean. Surprise surprise huh? BB says he knows Sean because he's seen him at so many of his concerts. BB walks away. Jill questions Sean about leaving the club scene in New York. He tells her he just grew out of it. He tells her to just relax and enjoy their time out and that he's not there to seduce her...unless she wants that. Jill gasps at that. When she wants to leave, he tells her to take a chance and trust him as he wants to take her someplace else. She bites and they leave
• Miguel and Nikki plan the menu for Noah's party when Victor shows up. He tells her about the DA filing another charge against Nick, homicide in the death of Jordan. Victor tells her that he feels someone else is working with Warton because evidence is coming out too easy and at critical times, especially with Warton behind bars at the moment. Victor comforts a crying Nikki
• Brittany tells Billy about the conversation she had with the detective and the DA and couldn't believe how stupid she was in dumping the drugs there. She also tells him about ratting out JT. She's now worried about what would happen when her parents find out. She then asks Billy about what he and Mack were talking about. He tells her that it was about spring break and if he was looking forward to it. When asked if there was any talk about her, he brushes it off. At that moment I notice a poster he has on his wall. It's of Amanda Ghost. Very nice, but off topic.
• Rianna walks through the Abbott main house and sees Mack standing there. She talks about Raul and how she's getting tired of Raul's attitude and that he's taking it out on her. She starts questioning Raul's character, saying maybe he's not the nice guy she thought he was. Rianna then leaves
• in the pool house, Raul goes through pop like there's no tomorrow, filling up the garbage can and snacking on anything he could find. Mack shows up. Raul gets ready for bed so Mack helps him pull out the sofa bed. She tells him about Rianna's feelings and he feels bad for taking it out on her that way. They talk about the videotape they say. He tells her it'd be a good idea to leave it alone. She doesn't know what to do because it could ruin the Jabot campaign so she's willing to hold off until the trip is over. Mack leaves for home. Raul heads to bed complaining of being thirsty. He gets up looking for more to drink when he collapses beside the bed
• Billy and Brittany come back down and run into Mack once again. Mack leaves without saying anything about the videotape. Brittany accuses her of hanging around just to be near Billy

• Warton is told to mop the floors in the jail by the guard and reluctantly does it. Nick makes comments to him about Warton being locked up and his role in the drug stuff. Warton tells him he's only there because he smacked an employee of his. Warton starts playing the "whoa brother, calm down...no need to try to pass it off onto someone else" stuff.

One of the guys working there talks to Carter about the detective, wondering why he's there. The other guy says Nick will be out soon because his appeal on the bail hearing will be coming up soon. Carter seems shaken up by it and decides to leave but bumps shoulders with the DA on the way out but doesn't apologies for it. The detective then tells the DA that they found 2 pills in the dumpster and were wrapped up in a credit card receipt that belongs to Brittany. They both approach Brittany to ask her some questions.

She wants to know what's going on because this is the second time she's found drugs on him and she's not buying any story about them being medication. She then tucks it in her robe pocket. He tells her they are medication he takes. When asked how often he takes them, he tells her whenever he remembers. She then tells him if that's the case then he shouldn't have a problem taking one now and offers one to him. He turns it around and tells her that stunts like that are the reason why they don't make love anymore because the constant nagging is a turn off. He then says he'll prove to her what he's saying since she doesn't trust him by taking one, but she stops him before he could swallow it. She gives him back the rest of them. He leaves for work after kissing her. Once gone, she pulls out one pill she hid in her robe

He then tells her he went to Hong Kong so Gina questions him about Christine and how she's doing.

Phyllis tells her there won't be a next time. Victoria pushes her to spy more for them but Phyllis blows up and raises her voice letting her know it's not going to happen again because the relationship is over. When Victoria leaves, a delivery man brings in flowers for Phyllis, about 8 bouquets, each with the note of "call me...Jack". She throws each card to the floor after reading it
• Isabella and Paul meet at some building after the test drive/surveillance watch and the results show there's no one following her.

She faints in Paul's arms
• Carter goes to the coffee house, sits down and thinks over his dinner night with Sharon once again
