ABBOTT MANSION

Gloria awakens on the floor and starts screaming for Jeffrey. She runs around, looking to see if she can find John's ghost or anything, but no one is around. She pours herself a drink and says to herself that John has really come back. She phones Michael, finds out where he is (at the party), and tells him not to move because she has to see him.

CHANCELLORS

Amber tries to console Katherine, who had a disturbing dream about John. Katherine talks about how sad it was when John went to prison. Amber wonders if it wasn't symbolic of something else and not really about John. She asks Katherine how she was feeling in the dream. Katherine says she felt very sad. Amber wonders if maybe it had to do with her giving up the company to Jill. Later, Amber brings Katherine some food. Katherine admires her dress and comments about the past. Katherine thinks she should get back to her party, but Amber won't leave her. She wonders why Katherine didn't phone Jill. She says Jill is upset about the book. Amber suggests that she write it but not publish it. Katherine admires her wonderful heart. She confides that she thought she would see things more clearly by writing them down, but she doesn't. Katherine asserts that she can only tell the story if she tells the truth. She has a flashback to when Jill hurt her by having Danny's father pose as Rex Sterling. Amber takes notes as Katherine talks. Amber is shocked to hear it. Katherine knows she can't tell any of her old stories without hurting Jill. She wonders whether she should tell them or not.

As Amber gets her some tea, Katherine wonders if she shouldn't have left the company after all because she misses it. Jill arrives and is annoyed to find Amber there, especially when Katherine informs her that she called her. They start bickering, so Amber makes her hasty exist. Katherine thanks her and says she always makes her feel better. Jill demands to know the truth about what Katherine has been keeping from her. Katherine tries to change the subject by asking about the party, but Jill won't be deterred. Esther comes in with some ice cream to cheer up Katherine, but they ask her to leave. Jill keeps pushing her until Katherine tells her reluctantly about her stroke. Jill is shocked and angry that Katherine didn't tell her. Katherine tells her that the stroke just made her put things in perspective. She tells her that she has missed work. Jill is not thrilled to hear that Katherine might be coming back.

THE PARTY

Victor shocks everyone by walking into the Restless Style kickoff party. Sabrina is on his arm. She talked him into going and making peace with Nick. However, reporters start bugging him with questions, assuming he is the real money and power behind the new magazine. Nick, Jack, David, and Nikki in particular are furious. Adam grabs a drink, even though he said he doesn't really drink much. Everyone assumes that Victor is trying to show up his son or steal the attention. Victoria goes over to Sabrina and Victor to find out why they're there, and she asks about the baby. They tell her that they left her five messages on her cell, which she verifies. She seems to be the only one who thinks it's a good idea they are there and hopes that Victor is there to support Nick.

Jack wants to go over to tell Victor to get out, but Nick stops him and insists on taking care of Victor himself. Victoria admires how great Sabrina looks. Nick takes Victor aside and makes it clear that he's ruining the party. Nick thinks he can't stand to see him successful on his own. Sabrina comes up and explains that this was all her idea, but Nick doesn't believe it. Nick suggests sarcastically that Victor should talk to their other advertisers and talk them out of it the way he did with Eric Forrester. Phyllis comes up and says something pleasant, then she drags Nick away. Sabrina asks Victor if he wants to leave, but he's fine with staying and says that it is becoming interesting. They toast with champagne.

Cane can tell that Jill is upset, so she tells him that she's just worried about Katherine and her memoirs. He figures out that she's worried about what Katherine will say about her past. He doesn't think Katherine would write anything that would hurt her, but Jill is not so sure. He offers to speak to Katherine for her, but she says she will do that herself. Cane advises her to forget about it for tonight and enjoy the party. They watch Lily pose for the cameras and admire her.

Devon and Roxanne chat with Lily. Devon jokes with Lily briefly about being a star. Lily confesses that she's very tired, but she has to perk up again when the cameras return.

A reporter bugs Victor, asking him questions about his involvement with the magazine. Jack and Sharon go over and let her know that Victor is only there as a guest and has no involvement. Sharon brings the reporter over to chat with Nick instead. Victor tells Jack that he was going to tell her that he was just there to support his son, but Jack doesn't buy it.

Nikki wonders to David about Sabrina bring on Victor's arm. David thinks that Victor must have an agenda.

Ashley and Felicia great Lauren. She introduces Paul and Michael to Felicia. They are surprised to hear that Victor showed up. Ashley figures that his being there is a good thing. Jack and Sharon walk up to Michael and Lauren. Michael as usual is not too happy to see Jack. Jack and Sharon ask Lauren if she might be interested in writing a fashion column for their magazine. Michael tells them rudely, "She's too busy", but Lauren says that may not be so.

Paul chats with Gina and Danny. She jokes that she hopes Danny gets bored with the rock star life and comes home. She gives him a kiss on the cheek.

While he's singing, Brad looks sad to be alone. Jeffrey arrives at the party. Nikki watches Victor and Sabrina jealously. Phyllis and Daniel watch Danny proudly. Everyone else just enjoys watching Danny. Jeffrey goes over to Jack, and the two of them go outside. Michael watches them with a worried look. Jeffrey fills Jack in on what happened back at the mansion with the actor. Jack gives Jeffrey a card or key and tells him to take Alistair to the club, sneak him in with a disguise. Jack rolls his eyes and goes back into the party. Michael comes up and questions Jack about why he invited Jeffrey there, but Jack doesn't tell him anything.

Nick quizzes Victoria about Victor's arrival. She didn't know that he was coming, but she thinks he didn't do it out of spite. J.T. says that Sabrina talked him into going, and she wonders if maybe it was an olive branch. Nick doesn't say anything.

Sabrina tells Victor that she feels badly about what happened. Nikki comes up and asks to speak to Victor alone, so she leaves them. Nikki yells at him for trying to ruin Nick's night. Victor tells her that he's completely uninterested in what she has to say, so she stalks off. Meanwhile, Brad introduces himself to Sabrina as she gets herself a drink. She introduces herself, too. They have each heard about the other through Vicky.

Ashley hugs Victor. As usual, they are so glad to see each other. She expresses sympathy about the divorce. He blames it on Nikki. They chat for a moment about Abby, and then Ashley walks away.

Michael does a spit take when he sees Gloria's arrival on the big TV screen at the party. She comes up and tells Michael that she saw John's ghost. She thinks he's upset about her and Jeffrey moving into his house. Michael, of course, thinks she's finally lost it. Gloria informs him about seeing John's things around the house and of seeing him in the window and again in person. He figures out what happened and tells her that Jeffrey duped her. He tells her about seeing Jeffrey with Jack.

She thanks him. He tells her that Dru would be very proud. Lily seems upset as she walks off. Daniel looks concerned. Victoria takes Sabrina away from the bar to meet Felicia as Brad watches. Lily goes somewhere quiet and looks dizzy. Devon comes up behind her just as she faints. He gets her to come to and tries to find out what's wrong with her. Neil comes up and wonders what's going on. She stops Devon from telling him what happened. Lily insists on going back to the party to work. They both look very worried. Later, Cane tells Chloe that Lily is done for the night. She starts to argue, but he puts his foot down. Lily says goodbye to Neil and Devon, telling them she will call them. She gives Devon a hug and tells him in his ear "not a word". When Neil questions him about why he's so worried about Lily, Devon lies that it's no big deal.

Amber goes up to Daniel, who's chatting with a pretty girl. The girl walks away, and Amber fills him in on her visit to Katherine's. Daniel compliments Danny on his show. Amber wishes she had seen it. Danny tells Daniel that he's leaving tomorrow, so they shake hands. Daniel wishes him well. Danny comments that even though Daniel said they weren't a couple, they look like a pretty good fit.

As the party winds down, Jack tells Nick and Phyllis that Sharon had to leave because she had a headache. Victor wishes Nick good luck and tells him that he did a good job (but in a casual way). Nick thanks him. Adam congratulates Nick and tells Nick and Phyllis that he's looking forward to working with both of them. Adam asks Victor about the security breach and tells him that he'll get right on it. Victor replies, "Son, you keep me informed, okay?" and walks away. Adam blinks because he called him "Son".

Felicia and Ashley make their goodbyes to Jack. Jack thanks Felicia for her advertising money. He hugs Ashley and sends his best to Abby. Jack phones Sharon after they leave.
