A thunderstorm brews over Genoa City: Nick is called back into the office because of a partial power outage at Newman Enterprises. He is surprised to find Grace there working. Michael brings Diane a copy of the National Inquisitor and she is delighted with it. Nikki and Victor are bombarded with questions from various reporters as the tabloid article causes waves. John Silva explains to a furious Victor it would be best to lay a profile and not to sue the publication as a lawsuit will not be successful due to freedom of speech. Neil is relieved and hurt at the same time that Cole managed to convince Victoria to stay in town. He can't help but wonder if she is committed to him like he is to her. Jack advises Ashley to trust Cole and believe in their relationship. Cole arrives and tells Ashley to put a hold on their wedding plans until he can get a handle on his feelings and what he wants to do. Victor storms into Michael's office issuing threats at the lawyer. Michael remains unmoved and orders Victor to leave who declares war on Michael and reminds him that he has friends in influential positions.
