by Ruth

Victor arrived at the Ranch at breakfast time, as Nikki was starting her day. She tried to be pleasant, but he made no bones about it -- the only thing that they have in common is their children and she is starting a wayward home for criminals, so there was nothing else to talk about. He had come to meet with Nicholas about their plan to postpone the travel that he would have to make in order to start those new coffee houses.

Nicholas tried to introduce the idea to Sharon by telling her that his father had two exciting projects at Newman Enterprises for him and it would be hard for him to work on the coffee houses if he took both of them. She made it clear that she wanted the coffee houses to be the priority and she didn't mind him being gone from home while he was working on them.

Victor found out from Nicholas that Sharon still needed some convincing to get her to agree to their plan. He paid her a visit and told her more about it. He wanted to "keep it in the family." He asked her if she knew what he was saying and she confirmed that she did -- and she didn't like it one bit. . . .

Jill awoke at Sean's apartment wearing a robe that he left for her, smelling a delicious breakfast in the making. The previous evening had been so special for both of them. She had to run off to a meeting, but wanted to stay to make sure that she didn't have to wait so long the next time. . . .

Alex woke Malcolm from sleep at his studio with his favorite rolls and coffee. They talked again about her childhood -- she said that "Happiness in the Projects was an apartment without roaches." He told her that his photo shoot had a prom theme, which lead to talk of their prom nights. He told about his funny hair do and wanted to exchange pictures, but she wanted to drop the subject right away. Malcolm was very thankful for the breakfast and Alex seemed a little distant when they talked of the past. . . .

During breakfast at the Abbott's, Jack and Billy talked about any reservations that Billy might still have about letting Brittany be in on the summer project. Billy said that he wouldn't have agreed if Mac hadn't, it was Jill he was worried about. Jack had a plan that may work in that arena -- but he wouldn't disclose it quite yet. He sent Billy off to school to be happy -- something that he hadn't been for a very long time.

Mac came downstairs and was greeted by Esther who wanted to congratulate her for the good news and gave her a hug saying that she was part of the family the minute she stepped in the door. When Katherine entered the room and Esther left, Mac confided in her grandmother that she wasn't very happy about watching Brittany on the website all summer and having to stay behind the scenes. She asked Kay if there was any possibility that her mother could get her now -- Kay said that a fuss would postpone things, but not stop the guardianship. Mac reveled at the news and ran off for school. . .

Jill arrived at the estate giving Esther a bad time and starting in on Katherine too. Kay had some papers to show to her -- the guardianship papers. Jill acted like it didn't matter and that the kids would probably break up on their own -- Kay rubbed it in that Jill had no control over the matter for once. Jill was not convinced. Then a call came from Jack -- he wanted to meet with her ASAP in the boardroom. No Questions Asked. . . .

Mac arrived at the computer lab seeing Brittany talking to Billy. Brittany was getting the deaf ear from him as she thanked him again for the chance to work at Jabot for the summer and told him to trust her, she wouldn't do anything to cause problems. Mac bounded into the room with wonderful news. She had decided that she wanted to be more than a stagehand this summer -- she wanted to be a genuine Glo by Jabot kid -- in front of the camera and everything. . . . .
