Jack/Sharon/Noah/Jeffery
Abbott Manor

Jack announces to Sharon that he is home from the Windy City. Sharon says hi and kisses him. Sharon asks if he did get the contract? Jack asks that close. Jack: They want to see the final cover art. He ask how'd her day go? Sharon says great, except that Phyllis took a contract out on her. LOL. Jack hates when that happens. Sharon says they are professionals. They'll work it out. LOL, well, they sure hell didn't act like it yesterday.
Jack as long as working it out doesn't include the emergency room. Hmm, that's exactly where it happened last time. Sharon fell over the cliff and headed straight there.
Sharon jokes think of it this way, she has a really strong life insurance policy, so he'll be an extra-rich widower. Jack sarcastically says there is that. You know, he can always start a club with Gloria "the black widow" Bardwell. That'd be a joy. LOL. A concerned Sharon asks if he is over all that weirdness with her, isn't he?
Jack says as long as he get to have dinner with his gorgeous wife and terrific stepson, all is well with the world as they kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sharon announces the meatballs are ready, veggies are ready to be steamed, and the salad is waiting to be tossed. Jack tells her to come relax with him for a minute. Sharon notes she is in a better mood. Jack admits he is. That little bit of relaxing time gave him time to get some real perspective on the Gloria thing. Sharon points out that left on her own accord. Jack states precisely, which is what convinced him to have nothing to feel guilty about. Sharon says it feels good to be an innocent man, huh? Jack says it feels glorious. No pun intended. Speaking of de-glorification, didn't she say something about redecorating this place? Sharon asks if he is sure? Jack replies anything she want, just no animal prints and no lava lamps. LOL Sharon says ow! Something's poking her. Jack asks what? What is it? Sharon says this earring isn't hers

This is Gloria's. That's the last time that woman will interrupt us in this house

Amen!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later Jack finds Jeffery at his doorstep. Jeff comes in peace. Jack says fine, he can leave in peace. Jeff needs a favor.
A disbelieving Jack says he wants Gloria to move in here? Haven't they already had this conversation? Jeff still think it's a sane, not to mention humane, notion. Jack bluntly states and the answer is still no. Look, he got a family and dinner waiting for him. He can show himself out. Jeffery points out that she got Michael to drop the lawsuit. Jack replies she knew it was a loser. Jeff retorts because she wanted to do the right thing. Jack asks why he is pushing this?
Jeff whines she is always at the club. He can't eat an appetizer without seeing her. Jack asks so what, she wants to foist her off on him? Jeff says there is there is the John Abbott factor.
Jack says no, don't bring his father into this again. Jeff asks what would his dad want? Jeff is asking himself why is he still here? Jeff says she doesn't even have to stay in the mansion. She can stay in the pool house. There's a private bat and bedroom. Jack says firmly it ain't going to a happen. Jeff tells him to think about it. Jack has, no is the answer. "our struck out, Jeffrey. Now go back to the dugout, or wherever else it is you crawled out from."

Bravo Jack! Jeffery was annoying trying to get him to allow Gloria to move back into the mansion again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack tells Noah, good to see him. Noah welcome him back. Did he bring him anything? Sharon tell him that's rude. Jack thinks every shortstop ought to have the right hat. Noah says cool and thanks for it, thanks! Sharon thinks it looks good. Jack agrees, what is he reading? Noah says "maniac imagine." It's, like, a section on baseball. Sharon asks Jack if he could he take over here? She really have to get dinner going. And Noah just keep working. Noah asks if he has to? Sharon says yes, then heads toward the kitchen. Noah asks Jack to want to write this for me? It's only, like, four pages. Jack states that would be cheating. But then he did ask his father to help him with his homework. Noah asks did it work? Jack says he is the one who told him it was cheating. Noah says figures. Jack will tell him what, it's a warm evening. He stay focused on this report, they'll eat dinner, and then afterwards he can pitch you a little batting practice under the lights. Noah says that'd be cool. Jack thinks so too and smiles at the picture of his father. That was a nice moment. And I am glad that Jack is no longer feeling guilty about banning Gloria from living in the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skye/Adam/Brad
AC

Adam asks all of this for a weekend? Skye says a girl got to dress as they kiss. She adds undress.
Adam is glad that he can inspire a 2-hour plane flight. Skye notes they had a blast in NY, and ad a ton of free miles, so... Adam goes oh, jeez. Skye also wanted your body. Adam remarks that's better. Skye tells that her interview with VN is at 9:00 sharp. Joking! She isn't trying to steal his thunder. He should have seen the look on his face. Adam admits smart-ass, she got him. A cocky Skye wants him to remember who graduated #1 and who graduated#2 Adam says oh that. Right, that again? Listen to him. He isn't threatened. Skye asks why, because she isn't a Newman? Adam retorts no, because he is very good at what he does Then he kisses her.
Skye states if the biggest attractions about where she lived were fishing and football, she'd be lonely, too. Adam retorts that her concern kills him, really. Skye asks if he doubts she wanted to see the land of 10,000 lakes? Adam tells her to rent a car That's Minnesota, not Wisconsin. Skye says there are Indian casinos here, she looked online. Adam says she wanted to find a game where no one knows her. Skye wouldn't turn it down if one presented itself, even a private one for the right stakes. Know of any?
Adam hasn't played a hand since she wiped out his Christmas account. A cocky Skye says ha ha. Three jacks to two pair. That's got to hurt. Adam is still wounded. He asks what is it with her Investment banking's not enough? What does you make, $225,000, $250,000? Skye says he knows her. It's not the money. It's the game. Though it's nice to go to St. Barths on someone else's dime. Want to come? Adam says that's tempting, but she knows him. He doesn't take vacations. Skye bets she could make him change his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skye is dealing cards and asks where are they off too. Adam is off to the office. Skye will head to the bar and check out the local talent. Unless he knows of a game. Adam already told her, he isn't going to unleash a big city girl on this small, peaceful town. Skye says she better hurry back.
Adam is out of here, and advises her to be good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the bar Skye says a straight flush is five cards in sequence, all the same suit? The guy says she got it. Skye asks that beats a full house? Brad says it beats everything if it's royal. Skye says good to know. He play? Brad fools around. He has game at his house every week. Skye is decent at Blackjack, but Poker's not really her game. Brad asks if she lives here?
Skye replies she is visiting from NYE. Brad asks how has she been in GC? Skye asks are they playing 20 questions? Brad hopes so that means he has 17 left. Can he buy her a drink? Skye says now he has 16. Her turn. Is he hitting on her?
Brad says, "If you don't want me to be, I'm being friendly. If you do want me to be..." Skye says how about they cut for it? Low card pays for the drinks. Brad says ladies first. She is buying. Two shots of tequila, please. If she gets home late and can't sleep, she like to watch sports. She has seen the world series of poker-- what's it called, Texas something? Brad replies Texas hold them. Skye says she always think, she could do that. Brad is happy to give her a few pointers. Yeah. Skye isn't big on lessons. Action, on the other hand, action she like. Brad says in that case, how about he gives her a few lessons and invite her to his game? She likes lesson and actions. And Skye totally played Brad here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in the room, Adam enters and ask how was her night? Skye says fabulous, his? Adam took Newman private in a leveraged buyout. Kidding.
Skye did some tequila downstairs at the bar. Not kidding. Adam asks alone? Skye says for about ten minutes. She played the, "gee, how do you play poker? It's just so exciting" card, and a new friend invited her to his weekly game. Adam comments like taking candy from a baby. Skye says he was hoping for candy after the game. LOL
Adam tells Skye, she is are so bad. Skye is so good at it. Adam laughs, and tells her to come here. She goes into his arms. He asks aren't these his panama bottoms? Skye asks if he wants him back? Adam says "you thief." Skye ask say, right now? They have another hot kiss? So what do you think of Skye so far?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nikki/David/Brad/Jill
AC

Nikki knows he is upset. David ask What does she want him to say "You don't trust me." Nikki says that trust takes time. David realize that, but it's still frustrating. He want to be the one person she can rely on, the one she can tell anything. I wonder if David would like some cheese with his "Whine" Nikki says there he is. David understands she feel burned because of Victor. The man never trusted her judgment or respected her intelligence. Nikki says he sure didn't I had to laugh as David says that he is anti-Victor. Not really, since he also manipulative like Victor. He really sucks up by saying she is brilliant and amazing, and yet, she doesn't want to marry him. Maybe it's due his big debt that she paid off, that causing this lack of trust!
I hate Nikki asking David to be patient with her. She has every intention of marrying him. She wants to be next to him every night and listen to every snore.(ugh) David thinks that is something he can work on. They both know he isn't the most patient person in the world. Remember the campaign? Press release to write, commercial to shoot, he want it done yesterday. And even during my school years, he never wanted to be in group projects. He had no patience whatsoever for the slackers. See that? Even then. David is just pathetic trying to get Nikki to marry him here.
Nikki says that explains a lot. David can explain a lot more, Nikki, and he is ready to talk all night if that's what she need. He doesn't want her to have a single doubt about him. Nikki points out that he talks about his feelings, which is amazing. David asks TGVN didn't? Nikki says no David says there it is, he is nothing like him Nikki agrees as David's cell phone rings. Nikki tell him to take the call, after he leaves.. a big look of doubt crosses her mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
David is on the phone, we learn that he is overdrawn. He then asks if they waive his fee, due to his fiancée having a huge account at the bank. They obviously says no. He finally says just charge it and stop wasting his damn time. Then he calls customer service. He needs to get a cash advance from his card. When Brad sits down, he says he'll call him back. Brad notes that he looks a little frazzled. David say no kidding. He lies that someone charged their Caribbean vacation to my card. Brad remarks that is such a headache. The rest of his day was good, he hopes.
David says surprisingly, yes, since she spent part of it with TGVN. Reed's christening. Brad says that's right How was that? David replies that it was emotional. He means, considering what the kid went through to be there, you know? Brad remembers. David says right. Brad wishes him good luck with the card. David asks Brad if he is still having your regular game this week? Brad says same time, same place, different beer. David got to tell him. He think he is having a testosterone deficit, due to working in cosmetics. Brad asks if he wants in? David asks is there a chair at the table? Brad states absolutely. David says great. Nikki arrives ask if he is ready to order some food? David is starving and Brad will see him later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jill orders fizzy water. Brad asks Jill if she is trying to make me look bad? She is off to the gym, and he is sitting here? Jill says if it makes him feel any better, she is just going for a steam. Brad asks stressful day? Jill says always. Brad says Jabot, construction, overseas issues, all the above? Jill replies all the above.,a fire a minute. Brad says it's any consolation, TGVN deals with the same thing at Newman; disgruntled shareholders, employees who care more about their own résumés than they do the good of the company. Jill asks that he isn't like that, is he? Brad states that his job is to make Nikki's job easier. Brad asks how did Nikki react when she told her that she killed David's deal? Jill reports she was not pleased.
Brad notes one of the perils of working with your significant other. Jill doesn't really care about their relationship. She just care about results.
Brad was thinking about his experience with Victoria. There was a proposal he had put together, and he left a year of financials out of the appendix. TGVN was livid. Next thing you know, Victoria walks in, and she has the information. She had read his proposal and covered for him. Jill is confused. Is he defending David or criticizing him?. Brad says empathizing. I hope that Brad isn't softening toward David by that comment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Nikki asks so who was on the phone? David already told her, someone from work. Nikki ask who was it? David can't do this. Nikki asks what? She is just asking. A defensive David asks because he think it was his bookie, or someone else he owe money to? Well, it wasn't. What do you want him to do, Nikki? She want him to forward all his calls to you? Would that make her happy? She tells David she is just trying to help him. She know how powerful addiction is. An angry David says she isn't helping, all right? This isn't some gamblers anon meeting. If anything, he is becoming resentful, which, in case she didn't know, is bad for an addict. You know something? He has lost my appetite. David was just horrible making Nikki feel like the bad guy, when he is lying to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Brad asks what was that all about? Jill replies about the perils of working with the one you love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later Nikki realizes that she lost her phone and borrows AC's one. She calls her number is surprised that TGVN answered it. Nikki tells him that she must have left it at the Christening. She asks if he will leave it on the porch and she'll come by and get it Victor will leave it here until she comes to pick it up herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TGVN/Victoria/Adam/Nikki/JT
Scene 1
Newman Ranch House

Victoria nailed that TGVN is punishing her. Victor claims that is not the case. She continues that she is punishing her because she is a wife and a mother... And Adam doesn't have a family... Victor says she wanted.. Victoria adds therefore he can devote more time to the company. Victor points out that she wanted to go back to Beauty of Nature. He made that happen. What is she talking about? Victoria informs that she was just getting comfortable with acquisitions. Victor uses the old "This is for the good of the company." That is what he said, when he took Victoria off BofN. Victoria brought him Caulfield/Jacobs. She opened negotiations with cross media. They have a new line of credit with a Swiss bank. Victor appreciate all of that, and she did a hell of a job, but think about it for a moment.

Adam went to Harvard business school, got an MBA specializing in mergers and acquisitions. He's eminently qualified for that division that you were running until now. You are far more qualified for Beauty of Nature than he would ever be.

Victor is really demeaning to Victoria here, by disregarding her hard work at NE for all these years. And learning merges and acquisitions at Harvard doesn't make you experience or qualified.

Victoria also nailed that he is stripping her of all of her powers, and that's exactly what Adam wants. Victor thinks that is that's ridiculous. That's not true. Bull. Victoria says ordinarily, she agree with him. "Nobody pushes you around." Victor says that's right. Victoria is right that his focus seems to be split these days, what with his young girlfriend taking up so much of his time. Victor warns her to watch it, all right? They do not discuss that. Sabrina joins them and Victoria retorts one of them has work to do.She walks out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
Cottage

Victoria sarcastically tells Adam to come in. If he is to make her feel horrible again, let her just grab a pen, so she can take notes. LOL Adam, felt bad ad after what happened at their Dad's house. He sees that she got the gift as he picks it up. Victoria did and thanks. Adam has been meaning to tell her, he is looking at a new company that makes natural cleansers. He thinks it would be a great fit for Beauty of Nature.
Victoria firmly says no. That's a terrible fit. Cleaning products are about making your family healthy, and beauty of nature is about a woman feeling beautiful, and women know the difference.
Adam says trust him. She is going to want to see the specs. Adam, is just Victor, thinks his opinion, is the right one.Victoria bluntly says that's the problem. she doesn't trust him. Adam asks that she isn't even open to having a conversation?
Victoria says why doesn't he pitch it to Dad? Because she is going to enjoy watching him shoot him down. Adam is on his way there right now.
Victoria tells him good night and good luck
~~~~~~~~~~~~
JT notes that Victoria looks really comfortable, on the couch. Victoria puts down the Bible. She tells him it's an act, because she is livid.
JT asks if things with her Dad bothering her?
Victoria is right that the problem is? that he's listening to Adam, who was here, BTW. JT really doesn't like that guy just dropping in. What did he want? Victoria doesn't know, to tell her that he wants to buy some company, tell her, mind you, not ask her. JT asks if he wants her to talk to him Victoria firmly says no, she can handle it. She will.
Or she just walk away, this job isn't worth this agrivation!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 3
RanchHouse

Adam says as he can see, the company has very little debt, they've barely advertised, and their cleaning products are 100% biodegradable. Take a look at the r&d section there. They've got this new dishwashing tablet in development that he really think it's going to revolutionize the market. Victoria asks if he spoken to Victoria about it? There might very well be a tie-in to Beauty of Nature. Adam says briefly. Victor ask what was her opinion? Adam says she had her reservations(She said no!), but she hasn't seen her write-up. Victor says then ask her to read it, all right? Adam suggest there may not be time, sir. There's going to be other bidders, and they run the risk of losing this deal. Victor says that a risk he is willing to take. He needs to run this by Victoria. Until he does that, he does nothing, is that clear? Adam looks defeated. Adam says they're clear. I'm glad that Victor, wanted to check with Victoria,bfore making any plans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paul/JT
Indigo

JT is on phone with Victoria(unseen). He asks if she is sure that she doesn't want him to come home? Give Reed a kiss for him and he'll talk to him soon? Paul ask how JT is doing? JT good. How he is doing? Paul says good to see him. JT asks what's up? Paul was the 411 on David. JT asks why that? Paul says that Nikki's a really good personal friend, plus she gave his kid a job, and there's definitely something off with Chow. Paul then gets a call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Paul is so sorry that took so long. JT says that's all right. It gave me a little time to think about David. Paul asks what does he think?
JT says if he is interested in him, but if he remembers, he checked out clean on that construction project. Paul remembers. It's just that he had another conversation with Nikki, and she seemed very concerned. It turns out he used to have a gambling problem. JT asks really? Does Victoria know that? Paul doesn't know. According to Nikki, he's on the clean living express, but, who knows? He may have fallen off by now. He intends to find out. JT asks if Nikki know he is checking him out? Paul says she doesn't want him to and he certainly don't want to put him in an awkward position either. JT won't say a word, he thinks he is doing the right thing. Paul figured that he might. JT doesn't want his mother-in-law hurt any more than he does, so he'll keep his eyes open. He can count on it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Nikki wanted to tell TGVN, it was so nice having the christening here. He gave Victoria and J.T. A wonderful memory. Victor says they both gave them that memory. Nikki says they looked happy. Victor agrees. A new baby, just-married young couple-- it's wonderful. Nikki says she remember it well.
Nikki wanted to tell him... Then that annoying Sabrina interrupts and says hello to Nikki. Nikki thanks him for her phone. Have a lovely evening.
Victor says same to her. Sabrina asks if he would like a tequila? Victor would love one. Sabrina asks is everything okay? Victor says now that she is here, it's great. Sabrina says good to know as they kiss. Victoria asks how about the tequila?
That was a real nice moment between Victor and Nikki. Shame that Sabrina interrupted it. I do wonder what Nikki was going to say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gloria/Jeffery/Jill/Michael/Lauren
Scene 1
AC

Gloria asks GC employee guy, if he has seen her husband tonight? He says, not this evening. Gloria thought he might be here. The guy asks if she care to have a seat at the bar? Gloria would like a table for two: nice and private, candlelight. The guy has got the spot. At the table, Gloria flashes back to her and Jeffery making love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff is on the phone chuckling. He says he doesn't care what it costs. Sunset tomorrow, and make sure they can see the skywriting from the club's basketball court. "Gloria" should be huge. Oh, and listen. Um, add a smoke-filled heart, and he'll double your price.
He then joins Gloria at her table. Gloria asks well, if it isn't her husband. And where have he been all day? Jeff says out and about. Did she call? A ticked Gloria, as if he doesn't know. Jeff reports that battery in his cell died. Actually he doesn't know. Gloria says no, she didn't call. A concerned Jeff notes she was worried, and should have called. The day just got away from him. Gloria retorts it's his life, time. Why should she care? Jeff isn't really not in the mood for a tantrum, not after last night.
Gloria bluntly tell Jeffery that he is absolutely clueless. Jeffery is beginning to thinks so too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Jeff says peace offering. Martini with two olives. A ticked Gloria asks if she looks peaceful? Jeff remarks a simple, "no thanks" would have sufficed. Gloria whines thanks for nothing's. You know, she woke up this morning and you were gone. No note, no call. Their first morning together, and he abandoned her. Jeff asks abandoned her? Gloria says yes. Jeff isn't that a little dramatic? He had things to do. he can't sleep till noon. Gloria asks what things? Jeff says called his broker, pick up dry clean.. Jeff is sorry. He should have called, but like he said.. Gloria says like has said. Jeff informs her that they had an extraordinary night last night. It was magical. She cannot regret that. Gloria complains that she had breakfast all by myself, not a single rose on her pillow. Jeff points out that she is angry because he didn't leave a rose? "How self-obsessed can you possibly be?" Do we even want to know LOL
Gloria retorts by asking " And how insensitive and superficial can you be?" Jeff asks he is superficial? Gloria whines that he didn't even tell her she loved her. Jeff points out that neither did she. Gloria explains that last night she was caught up in carnal lust. Jeff says yes. Gloria says no, she is ashamed. Her road to enlightenment took a little detour, that's all.
Jeff is loving the new road. Gloria isn't joking. She wants to resonate on a higher plane. Jeff is all for hanging from chandeliers if she is.
Gloria asks would he please get her mind out of the gutter? She is talking seriously about-- nurturing a beautiful new life. Jeff says wait a minute. She isn't still talking about adopting a baby, is she? Gloria asks doesn't he think she'd be a good mother? Gloria then had to gall to say that raised two wonderful sons. Ya right! LOL

Yeah, who will be in therapy the rest of their lives. Not that I'm knocking it. After being married to you, I could use a good shrink.


ROFTL! No kidding. Jeffery could join Kevin and Michael in therapy LOL
An irritated Gloria says that she is that bad, Well, what is he hanging around for? Why doesn't he just go on? Get out of here, and take his little peace offering with him. Jeff says maybe he'll give it to the realtor. Gloria asks what is talking about? Jeff bluntly informs that one of these things he did today, he looked for a place-- a home for them. That was sweet. Lucky he didn't find one. He leaves the table and furiously makes a call. He cancels the skywriting.
Gloria acted childish today. And she should been at her job, instead of moping about what Jeffery didn't do!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 2
Indigo

Michael says looky, looky, looky. Lauren says heart of mine, be still. They are out on a weeknight, and she is awake. Yes! LOL. Michael says they didn't even have to ask Gloria to baby-sit. Lauren says no, tonight is about them.
Michael says a bottle of Chianti and this.
Lauren asks if he was talking to her about?
Michael doesn't now what he was talking about.
Ditto for Lauren. Come on, let's go sit down.
they can do more of that. Michael says whatever she want. It was nice to see Michael and Lauren going out on the town today.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gloria finds Michael/Lauren. Poor Michael and Lauren saying it was a wonderful evening LOL. Gloria remarks her son and beautiful daughter-in-law. What a lovely coincidence. Michael sarcastically says that's funny. The sitter just called them, and said she was looking for them.
Gloria as, but she found them. May she join them? Poor Michael and Lauren, Gloria never leaves them alone!
An annoyed Michael asks really, Gloria? Their one night out, really? Gloria pleads to come on. She isn't going to stay, and she won't even ask for a glass of wine. Lauren asks so how's the karma thing going, Gloria? She think it's improving. She found a wonderful guru, have her own mantra. Michael retorts sarcastically she is learning sanskrit. That's great. Gloria remarks the same old cynical Michael. That's all right, she understand. However, she is beginning a wonderful new phase in her life. Michael, Lauren, she is adopting. Michael asks puppy, kitten, little hamster she can put in a cage with a wheel--what? Gloria state a baby. Michael and Laruen looks horrified. Priceless LOL Michael is right that it's perhaps the most idiotic idea in your whole storied history of idiotic ideas. Absolutely not!
Gloria didn't asks for her permission. Michael retorts good, because she isn't going to get it. Lauren asks if Jeff wants a child. Gloria states actually, she is going to be a single mother again. Hollywood stars do it all the time. Michael points out that she isn't one. Gloria says that's not very nice. When she had her and Kevin, she had nothing. Now she has everything. Why shouldn't she give back to the universe and to a child? They should encourage her. Lauren is right that Gloria, hasn't thought this idea through.
Gloria claims she does She doesn't want him and Kevin to be jealous of their baby brother or sister, because she is going to love all of them just the same.. Now there's her lawyer, so they enjoy the rest of your evening, and, she will see them later, kids. The lawyer says hello, Gloria. She tells him to sit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael comment that his mother adopting a baby,, a living, breathing infant that she can ruin forever. Lauren points out that he isn't exactly ruined. Michael asks if she is condoning this? Is she?? Lauren says of course not. It just she seems very determined. Michael states it's a whim, fantasy, and a chimera. It's that ridiculous karma thing. You know what happens when his Mother Gloria tires of her new plaything? Fenmore gets a new baby brother or sister or monkey. LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gloria tells Keith, she isn't interested in all this legal mumbo jumbo. Just spend the money and make it happen. Keith wishes there were more people like her.Gloria replies as her guru says, "good karma out, good karma in." So when does she get to be a mommy,- two weeks, months?
Keith says if they're looking overseas, two or three years. Gloria tells him that's unacceptable. Two or three years, huh? May as well tell him it's a lifetime. Keith informs that she a home study, a state department clearance, police and FBI clearance, fingerprinting.
Gloria asks what does fingerprinting and the FBI have to do with her adopting a baby? Keith say it's standard procedure. Gloria states as a US citizen wanting to do something good in the world, she finds that very intrusive. She changed her mind. Just send her a bill. She won't be needing his services anymore. Thank goodness, some poor kid is spared from her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She returns to M&L. He suggests that she put child services on speed dial? Gloria said she couldn't interrupt, but where is he going, Michael? He is going to speak to her so-called attorney. He thinks there are a few choice tidbits of information he ought to know about his client. Gloria tells him don't waste his time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene 3
AC

Jeff asks Jill. Working out? Jill says super steam, she highly recommend it. Jeff will give it a try, she looks relaxed. Hey, they should have lunch again soon. Jill asks does that invitation mean that Gloria is out of the picture? Jeff says let's just say he is in the process of erasing her from the picture. Jill asks if there's anything he can do. Jeff will keep it in mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gloria asks where he is going? Jeff is leaving Gloria notes kind of sudden. Jeffery states she made herself pretty clear earlier. Gloria explains that she was angry, and had every right to be. Their first real night together, and disappeared on her. Doesn't he at least want to talk about it? Jeff retorts no, goodbye. Gloria says no, how does she find him? Where does she reach him? What is she supposed to do now?

Frankly, my dear...

ROFTL, I loved the priceless look on her face after he said that. Kudos Jeff!
