Brad walked in to his wife's suite at the club just as J.T. was offering a shoulder of support to Victoria. When Brad saw his wife in J.T.'s arms, he quickly turned and left, taking the bouquet of flowers he had planned to give to Victoria with him. J.T. and Victoria continued to talk, innocently, about the difficult relationships they have endured with their respective partners. Victoria told J.T. that she was unhappy because Brad betrayed her when he voted for Neil. Before J.T. left, Victoria thanked him for listening. J.T., as he was leaving the club, passed by Brad at the bar, and the two glared at one another.
Brad nursed his bruised ego with a drink at the club bar. While he fumed at Victoria, he sent an "urgent help requested" text message to Sharon. When Sharon received the message, she excused herself from Jack and promptly called Brad. Brad told Sharon that he'd found Victoria and J.T. together. However, Sharon reasoned that J.T. and Victoria shared a close friendship and nothing more. Sharon told Brad that he couldn't blame Victoria for being angry that he had voted for Neil. She urged Brad to fix the situation before it became a complete disaster.
Brad returned to Victoria's suite at the club and apologized for walking out on her earlier. Brad said that he understood that J.T. was a good friend to her just as Sharon is to him. Brad vowed never to hurt Victoria again because he just wants to make her and the baby happy. When Brad offered to send some things over for Victoria, she declined the offer. She told Brad that she planned to return home with him because she wanted a fresh start too.
Daniel spilled the beans to Devon about Colleen's secret affair with Adrian when he, Lily and Devon were toasting Neil's good news and the fact that Devon is off the hook on the murder charge. Colleen, however, insisted that she was not seeing Adrian any longer because he could get into serious trouble after, Colleen believes, J.T. reported the professor's affair with Colleen to the dean. As Colleen spun a tale of her breakup with Adrian, she remembered her conversation with Adrian when he explained that they would have to become secret lovers in order to continue their relationship.

Later, Colleen shared a story about accidentally stumbling upon a porn site on the Web. As Daniel logged onto his laptop to retrieve his email, Lily saw that Daniel had several emails inviting him to visit porn sites. Daniel claimed that the emails were spam or suggested that perhaps his friends had signed him onto the mailing lists as a joke. Devon and Lily also shared stories of times they'd stumbled upon shocking pornographic sites while conducting research on the Internet. After listening to his friends protest the proliferation of Internet porn sites, Daniel jokingly announced that he planned to password-protect Internet access on his laptop. Later, however, after Lily had gone to bed, Daniel logged onto a Web site called "Strangers by Night." He used his credit card to pay for access.
Victor sent Michael to Clear Springs to check out his future investment in Jack's planned development there. Before Michael left, he and Lauren enjoyed a dinner out at the club. Michael asked Lauren to keep an eye on Gloria, but while her son dined out, Gloria urged Kevin to hack into Ji Min's company email account, which Gloria had promised Michael she wouldn't do. Gloria was upset after Ji Min called to tell her that she was needed immediately in Holland, a trip that would conflict with her TV appearance. While Kevin scanned through Ji Min's emails, Gloria noticed a message from Jack directing Ji Min to keep Gloria from participating in "Extreme Catwalk." Gloria read aloud that Jack worried that Gloria would embarrass him and damage his senate campaign. Kevin wondered why Jack would send Ji Min an email, and Gloria wondered why Jack would make demands on her boss. Kevin theorized that Jack and Ji Min had a secret working relationship. Gloria wanted to tell Michael about Jack's email to Ji Min, but Kevin refused because they couldn't prove anything and shouldn't have hacked into the email account in the first place. However, when Michael and Lauren returned home, Michael grilled Kevin about Gloria's desire to hack into Ji Min's email account. Kevin assured his brother that he and Gloria did nothing wrong while he and Lauren were away.

Cane arrived at Jabot with some bad news for Jill. The Extreme Catwalk camera operators had gotten footage of Jill telling Ji Min that Cane was her son. Now it was all over the news and the Internet. This might make it harder for him to remain in the country, since his visa was expiring.
