Restless style may be headed for demise as ad sales decline and they lose a major ad account, thanks to Kate Perry an up in coming indie rocker who appeals to the younger crowd. Nick refuses to concede and so does Jack, both prepare to butt heads. Glo gets a job at Fenmore and her first day is AWFUL as she spills two cups of coffee on Jill ruining a 2000.00 blouse. Victor gives Adam an opportunity of a lifetime; Beauty of Nature. Sabrina is overwhelmed with happiness and Jill and Jeffrey get their groove on in the Jabot boardroom.
Adam: Well, you two look happy. Victor: Hello, Adam. Sabrina: Hi. Adam: You working from here today? Sabrina: We are happy. Victor: I can't tear myself away from this place. Adam: Well, I have, uh, done some research I think you're gonna be interested in. Victor: Uh-huh. Concerning what? Adam: Our Beauty of Nature ad in "Restless Style." Victor: And? Adam: Well, I wanted to see if the sales figures went up, and they did, like I expected. I mean, it was a new venture. People were curious. There was a lot of publicity. Victor: Mm-hmm. Adam: But we didn't get the bump we anticipated. It turns out that the print sales are pretty sluggish. Victor: Well, to be honest with you, I expected as much. Sabrina: Well, I've only heard good things, actually. Adam: Yeah, well, the buzz is good, sales are not. Victor: The premiere issue didn't do well. That means the follow-up issue will continue a downward trend. That's just the way it goes. Adam: Yeah, it's not a good start. Victor: No. It may be the start of the finish. [SCENE_BREAK] Phyllis: I'll do this. Nick: Hey, has he called? Jack: Who? Nick: Ivo Marx. Katy Perry's manager. He's bringing her over for the cover shoot. Phyllis: Yeah, he said he'd call to confirm. Sharon: I haven't heard from him. Adam: That was Ivo Marx's assistant. They are running late, but they're on their way. Phyllis: Oh, good, good. I am so pumped about this photo shoot. Katy--she's edgy, she's hot. Jack: Well, hopefully, she's not too edgy. If this second cover is nothing like the first, people won't know what they're buying. Sharon: Well, you know, her look isn't exactly up my alley, but I think we can make it work. Nick: Have some faith, all right? This cover's gonna make a statement. Jack: I'm just not sure I like the statement that it's making. Sharon: They're disagreeing already. Phyllis: Yeah. Well, Jack'll come around. Sharon: Maybe. Maybe not. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Okay... Gloria: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hold it right there! Lauren! Lauren, I think we've got us a shoplifter! Woman: What are you doing? Lauren: Oh, my goodness! Get your hands off of Mrs. Albert. Gloria: Huh? Lauren: Mrs.-- Gloria: What? Lauren: This is our-- let her go! This is our supplier from Lady's Day Fashions! She's pulling seasonal items. Oh, Allison-- Allison, I am so sorry! Gloria is new. Allison: Still, there was no reason for her to be grabbing me like that! Gloria: I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I really thought you were just-- Allison: Do you--do you always treat your customers like they're criminals? Lauren: No, no, no, of course not. Please accept my apology. Please. I-I'm sorry. Gloria, even if you think someone is stealing, that is not the way to handle it. What were you thinking? (Sighs) Gloria: I can't seem to do anything right. [SCENE_BREAK] (Cell phone ringing) Jeff: Jeffrey Bardwell. Jill: Jeff, its Jill. Where are you? Jeff: I'm at the club, drowning my sorrows. Jill: Well, drink up and hustle on over to the Jabot building and meet me in front of Fenmore's boutique. Jill: There she is. Jill: Well... Lauren has found herself a new salesgirl. Gloria: Jeffrey. Jill. Jeff: Gloria. Jill: Now, I'm confused. I know that I fired you from Jabot, but why are you working in a boutique? Gloria: I don't think that's any of your business. Jill: Mm. Lauren: Oh. Hello, Jill. Jill: Hello. Lauren: Jeffrey. Gloria, why don't you go on your break now? Gloria: Actually, I'm just fine, Lauren. Now, how may I help you? Jill: I think I'd like to see something in basic black. Black is so sexy, don't you think? Jeff: On you, everything is sexy. Jill: And hurry it up, Gloria. Jeff: So, Gloria... how's working retail going for you? Gloria: Actually, it's great. You meet the nicest people. With a few exceptions. Basic black, you said? Jill: Yes. Gloria: Would you be wanting the pointed hat and broom to match? Jill: (Laughs) I'll accessorize later. Jeffrey, why don't you have a seat, and I'll model some things for you. Unless, of course, you'd like to join me in the dressing room and help me try 'em on? Jeff: Uh, tempting. Gloria: Perfect for you. Jill: No, it's too matronly. It'd look better on you. Jeff: Uh, I think something a little more daring. Jill can wear daring, don't you think? Gloria: Absolutely. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: All right. Victor: All these comments are about the webzine. Adam: Yeah. Well, clearly, that's what people are interested in. Victor: Mm-hmm. It's kind of unique. Adam: You know, I heard from a source in New York that, uh... the publishing world has taken notice. Victor: Uh-huh. Adam: In fact, I think there's one big corporation to speak of that's put out feelers for a buyout. Victor: Hm. Sabrina: Why, is it for sale? Victor: Oh, I don't know. I doubt it. But if it were, I wish Nicholas would jump at the chance to unload this damn thing. Adam: Maybe he will. Victor: Your brother is too stubborn to admit that he made a mistake. I hope you learn from this. Adam: I am. Sabrina: Victor, don't you think it's a bit premature to announce "Restless Style's" demise? Victor: My darling, when a company is on a downward spiral, it's usually too late to save it. Adam: I'll tell you, I'm trying to figure out if we should even advertise with 'em again. Victor: Oh, you're thinking ahead. That's good. Mm-hmm. (Cell phone ringing) Victor: Oh. Adam: Hold on. That's my secretary. I'm gonna take this upstairs. Victor: All right. Victor: To be honest with you, I think he has learned from this lawsuit. The lawsuit that was the result of a mistake he made. I think it has matured him. Sabrina: You really think so? Victor: Mm-hmm. I really do. And I think it's time to reward him. Give my youngest son a chance to shine. [SCENE_BREAK] Jack: There is still some prime ad space in the next issue, but time's a-wastin'. Nick: Look, you're a first time advertiser, I can give you 10% off. Jack: Yeah, I just wanna warn you, it's filling up fast. Nick: Well, don't think for too long. I can't extend this price to an ad buy in the third issue. Well, I hope to hear from you. Jack: Get back to me. Thanks. Well, any luck? Nick: Marchina Designer Sunglasses is a big maybe. Jack: Alex Fashions is still--still stalling on me. Phyllis: Oh, oh, that-- that is not good. Sharon: Well, even though the print ads are stalled, the webzine is really cooking, have you noticed? Jack: One more great reason we have to be very careful with this next cover. Phyllis: Ooh. Amber: Excuse me, uh, this is Valerie. Katy's makeup artist for the photo shoot. Phyllis: Hey, Valerie. Nice to meet you. This is good. This is good. Uh, why don't you show her to the photo area? Amber: Oh, okay, yeah. Come on, this way, this way. Phyllis: All right. Jack: This--this is the look we're going for on the cover? Nick: Well, that's not the model, Jack. Jack: I am this close to getting Alex Fashions to advertise with us. Sharon: They're huge. Jack: They're also mainstream. Maybe it's time for us all to sit down and talk about who our advertisers are reaching to. Phyllis: No, no, no, no, I don't think so. I mean, look at the red carpet. The looks are all over the place. They're conservative, they're edgy, they're everything. Listen, we wanna reach all of our demos, Jack. Nick: Look, you have a problem with this, I think, just because you didn't come up with this idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Jill: Jeffrey? What do you think? Jeff: Uh, gorgeous. Jill: I'm not sure. Lauren: Are you kidding? I think that blouse looks beautiful on you. Jill: You think so? Lauren: Yes! Jeff: Yeah, you oughta wear a sign, "Dangerous curves ahead." Jill: (Laughs) Gloria: It would look better on me. Jill: Well... okay, I'll take it. Gloria: Fine. Jill: Gloria, where are you going? I'm not finished shopping. Gloria: I'm so sorry. Jill: Now I saw a bracelet in this case the other day. It was rubies set in platinum. Jeff: Um, sapphires would go great with this blouse. Let me buy 'em for you. Jill: Well, thank you. Bring us some baubles, will you? Gloria: Anything else? Jill: Yes, as a matter of fact, some large bags, designer, of course. Schlep three or four over here, will you? Oh, shopping is so exhausting. Jeff: You want some coffee, Jill? Jill: I would love some. Jeff: Two coffees, Gloria. Jill: And black for me, and I'm sure you know how he takes his. Make it snappy. We don't have all day. Gloria: Don't be so impatient, Jill. I've anticipated your every need. Here. Oh! Jill: Oh! Oh, you freak! What is wrong with you?! You keep her away from me. How could you hire her in this store? Lauren: I am so sorry. Jill: There's something wrong with her brain! Jeff: Let's get you out of this blouse. Jill: You need a doctor! Oh, God, look at this now! Lauren: I cannot sell that blouse now. Gloria: Then take it out of my check, 'cause it was worth it. Lauren: Was it $2,000 worth it, Gloria? Really? [SCENE_BREAK] Jana: Oh, stop it! Oh! Amber: Hi. Okay, come here, come here. If anyone asks, you guys came here to see me, okay? Kevin: And not Katy Perry. Got it. Amber: Mm-hmm. Jana: God, I'm really going to meet her? Amber: Listen, I saw her show in Chicago, and she was absolutely amazing! And it turns out I knew one of the roadies from back in L.A. and so I begged and begged and begged for a backstage pass, but no luck, and now... Jana: In the flesh! Amber, did you bring those designs we talked about? Amber: Oh, my gosh, Phyllis will absolutely kill me if I show Katy my stuff. Kevin: So what? Better death than lack of access, right? Jana: Right. Seize the day. Kevin: Oh, oh, I got pictures from Daniel last night. Amber: Yeah, me, too. No e-mail attached, though. Kevin: Well, it looks like he's having a great time, though. Amber: Yeah, he must be. You know, he hasn't updated his blog in like a week. Jana: Oh, come on, you know he misses you. Amber: Oh, my gosh, Jana, I almost forgot! I sketched a Goth wedding dress for you. Let me show you! Check out the crosses inlaid in the black lace. Look at that! Jana: Right. Well, it's quite dark, but it's fabulous. Amber: (Giggles) Kevin: This place is like a morgue. Where is everybody? When does Katy Perry get here? Amber: Well, they're in the photo studio, getting ready for the shoot. And judging by the way things have been going today, it's getting pretty ugly in there. Jack: Wait, wait, that's what you want Katy to wear? Man: You--you said you wanted edgy. Jack: Edgy is one thing, overboard is quite another. Nick: If we get stuck in some town and country niche, we're gonna lose everyone under the age of, say... I don't know, death? Man: What he said. Jack: No one wants staid. No one wants boring. But could we at least keep the style in "Restless Style"? Sharon: But you said that you liked Katy's songs when we listened to them, right? Jack: I-I still do. Look, I'm just trying to be the voice of reason here. There is a whole section of the population that finds her lyrics controversial. Phyllis: Controversy sells, right? Jack: Not if it sells us down the river at the same time. Nick: I'm gonna ask this one more time. Is part of your attitude coming from the fact that it was my idea to use Katy for the cover and not yours? Jack: Not at all. Someone has to bring an objective point of view to this. Sharon: I think it's just an artistic difference of opinion. Nick: You know what, Jack? Since we started this magazine, you've been throwing your weight around, making decisions without the rest of us. You're not in charge on this one, and it's really bugging you, isn't it? Jack: That is ridiculous. Sharon: Okay, what if we just tone Katy's look down a little bit? Nick: Okay, so if we get Amy Winehouse for our cover, you're gonna try and make her look like Celine Dion? Phyllis: (Laughs) now that would be controversial. Sharon: I'm just saying, we're gonna strike up a balance. Look... Phyllis: Okay, listen, Jack, Katy's booked. She's on the rise. We're not gonna change her look. I think you have to suck this one up. [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Uh, I'm headed to the office. Victor: Uh, Adam, before you go... Adam: Yeah? Victor: I have been thinking about a suggestion you made earlier. About revamping Beauty of Nature. Adam: I realize I was presumptuous, Sir. I know that was Victoria's baby. Victor: Hold on a minute. I think you were right. I think it's time to bring the products into the future. Adam: How do you mean? Victor: You've always talked about going green. Do it. Adam: Are--are you serious? Victor: I'm very serious. From now on, Beauty of Nature is your baby. You do with it as you see fit. You got it? You revamp it from the ground up. Give it a new name, if need be. Just do your thing. What do you say? Adam: Uh... I say, this is fantastic. Victor: Well, good! Adam: You hear that? Sabrina, I got Beauty of Nature! Sabrina: I-I know how much it meant to Victoria. And, um, I can only imagine what it will mean to you. That's great. [SCENE_BREAK] Kay: Ahem. I was expecting you an hour ago. Jill: (Sighs) I was just on the shopping trip from hell. Kay: Where? Jill: Fenmore's boutique. I was there with Jeffrey, right after you left. Kay: Oh, yes, of course. Jill: I was trying on this astronomically fabulous blouse, along comes guess who? Gloria dumps two cups of hot coffee on me! Kay: (Laughs) well... Jill: Oh, you think that's funny, do you? Kay: Well, it's your own fault. Jill: My fault? Kay: You took Jeffrey to Fenmore's for the sole purpose of torturing that poor woman. Jill: You're defending Gloria? Kay: When are you ever going to face it, Darling? For heaven's sakes, Jeffrey loves Gloria. Jill: Not according to him. Kay: He's lying. Jill: Oh, you know better? Kay: Deep down in your heart, you do, too. Jill: Whatever! Kay: Oh, Jill... Darling, listen to me. No matter how hard you try, no matter how beautiful and wonderful and witty you are, and you are all of those things. Now listen to me, Darling, Jeffrey Bardwell is never going to look at you the same way he looks at Gloria. Not ever. Not ever. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: Thank you for shopping with us. Gloria: All right, go ahead. Lecture me. I deserve it. Lauren: Yeah, you wanna keep this job? You can't act crazy. Gloria: It'd make anybody crazy, Lauren. You saw the way Jeffrey and Jill were treating me, and that brat calling me granny. Lauren: All right, all right, all right, you had a rough first day. But, Gloria, you need this gig. I can't lose any more customers, not in this economy, and I certainly can't afford to have you destroy any more inventory! Okay? Gloria: Back for one last twist of the knife? Jeff: One question, then I'll go. How could you sleep with that buffoon Alistair? Gloria: A woman's got needs. Jeff: All the times you put me off, and then this clown comes along and you jump right in the sack with him? Gloria: I'm not gonna apologize. Jeff: The man's a joke. Gloria: Not anymore. Then you apologize for being with Jill. Jeff: I was never with Jill. But watch how fast that changes, Baby. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Mon chérie. Victor: Yes? Sabrina: (Speaking French) Adam: Sir? Victor: Yes? Adam: My notes. Now Beauty of Nature is mostly fragrance-based, right? I think we can expand it. Victor: I see you're proposing we add some products-- some cosmetics. Adam: Hair and skin care and some top anti-aging products. Now the boomers will pay big bucks for these, and we only use organic ingredients. Victor: Hmm. Sabrina: So, everything is eco-friendly? Adam: Well, the line was never truly green, but it will be. I'm talking product content and packaging. Sabrina: Hm. That's something I-I personally would buy. Adam: Ah, our first new customer for the new and improved line. There's also some name change proposals in there. Victor: I can see that. "Radiance," "Chi." Sabrina: Chi? That--that means "Life" in Chinese. I like that. Victor: Mm-hmm. Adam: That's good. Victor: Well, "Nature"-- now that's a thought. Dropping the "Beauty." Adam: It should sound clean. You know, fresh, earth-friendly. Sabrina: Well, what about just "Earth"? Victor: Or "Green Earth"? Sabrina: Yeah. Or "Mother? Earth"? Adam: "Mother Nature." No, that's... Sabrina: No, natural. Natural something. Um, je ne sais pas. Natural lifestyle? Adam: You know, Sir, I gotta thank you for showing this confidence in me, especially after I messed up so bad. Victor: Well, Son, it's obvious you learned from it, and that's what is important, all right? Adam: Well, you know, I hope you're open to this idea. Um, I was thinking... it'd be really nice if we could do this together. You know, there's so much I can learn from you and... I don't know, I just thought it'd be great. Victor: I like that. It'll be a family affair. Adam: Awesome. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: There they are! There they are! Phyllis: Yay! Nick: We are thrilled to have you here. Katy: Well, I'm thrilled to be had. Um, I read the first issue of your magazine and I loved it. Nick: Thank you. Well, we love your music. Phyllis: Yeah, absolutely. It's mutual admiration here. Ivo: Well, that's the best way to be, right? Phyllis: Yep. Katy: You've met my manager, Ivo Marx? Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Nick: Of course. Good dude there. Thanks for all your help, Bud. Phyllis: Yeah. Ivo: Hey, no worries. Phyllis: Definitely. Okay, I think the photo studio is about ready. And we got this great stylist. She pulled some terrific things for you. Katy: Fantastic. Ivo: All right. Amber: Hi! I don't know if you remember me. Ivo: It's Amber, right? Amber: Yeah! Yeah! Um, remember, I told you my boyfriend was going on tour and you said we would break up? Well, we didn't, so... Ivo: Wow. Well, good for you. Nick: Amber, we are-- we're in the middle of something. Phyllis: Yeah. Amber: Sorry. You know, I'm just-- I'm such a huge fan. Jana: Me, too. Kevin: Ahem. Jana: The three of us. Kevin: Yeah, huge fans. Phyllis: Yeah, they're big fans. Uh, this is Amber. Katy: Hi. Phyllis: Who you've met, and her friends, Jana and Kevin. Katy: Hi, nice to meet you. Ivo: What's shaking? Jana: We saw your show in Milwaukee. Kevin: Oh, my God, it was awesome. Katy: Oh, thank you. Amber: You know, I was wondering if maybe you had a business card? Ivo: Well, absolutely. Amber: 'Cause, um, I might e-mail you and attach some, um-- Phyllis: Oh, no, no. No, you won't. Nick: (Laughs) Amber, will you please go get us updated press kits for Ivo and Katy? Phyllis: Yeah. Amber: Uh-huh. Yeah, okay. Okay. Phyllis: Great. Amber: Bye. Kevin: You know, we, uh, we should all, like, hang out sometime. Jana: Could I get your autograph? I mean, I-I know that's, like, totally groupie-ish of me-- Katy: Oh, no, no, no, groupies tend to want their flesh autographed. It's okay. Nick: (Chuckles) Ivo: It's true. Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's--let's keep the backdrop simple, please. Sharon: Oh, yeah, you guys, no--no graffiti. Amber: Hey! Have you guys met Katy? She's such a sweetheart. Jack: No, I didn't realize she was here yet. Amber: Oh, yeah, she's been here for awhile. You know, she and her manager are out there talking with Nick and Phyllis, planning the shoot. It's so exciting. Jack: Okay, thanks. Amber: Bye. Jack: This is me smiling. Phyllis: Hey! Hey, Guys. Uh, these are our partners, Jack, Sharon, Katy. Sharon: Hi. Katy: Hi, how are you? Phyllis: Ivo. Jack: Hi. Sharon: Nice to meet you. Katy: You, too. Nick: So this is the, uh, the first outfit the stylist pulled for you to wear. Phyllis: Yeah. Ivo: Wow. Katy: It's your show. Let's go for it. Nick: Cool. Phyllis: Fantastic. Jack: Just a minute. Sharon talked about striking a balance. I think we can do better. Jack: Wait a minute, what did I keep hearing from you? Consensus, consensus, consensus. Nick: And what did I keep hearing from you? How sometimes decisions are gonna have to be made quickly. Phyllis: Yeah, you said that, Jack. That's what you said. Jack: No, I said that in cases of an emergency. Katy: What's up with them? Amber: Artistic differences. Katy: I heard you're a designer, as well. I'd love to see your sketches. Amber: For real? Kevin: Twist her arm. Jana: They're really quite brilliant. Amber: Oh, oh, they're-- they're swedgy. You know, swank and edgy. At least, I-I hope. Katy: This is very cool. Amber: You really like it? Katy: Love it. Kevin: That's, um, that's Jana's, uh, wedding gown. Jana: Well, maybe. I might go more traditional. Amber: You? Kevin: That's like Marilyn Manson wanting a tan. Jana: Yeah, well, I'm helping my boss plan her wedding and it's really traditional. Katy: Hey, you do your own thing, you know? Nick: You got something to say, Jack, then just say it. Kevin: Looks like fashion magazine smack down over there. Katy: Mm. Jack: I'm not saying Katy doesn't have a good look. But-- Nick: There's no "Buts," Jack. This is a done deal. Phyllis: Yeah, we didn't stand around complaining when you guys decided the last cover. Sharon: Well, his cover didn't make us look like "Spin." Phyllis: Um, yeah. Uh, okay, listen, we have to decide what we're gonna do now, or else Katy's gonna walk out and we're not gonna have a cover. Sharon: Okay, I have another idea. [SCENE_BREAK] Gloria: Ah. Woman: It's a little snug. Gloria: Oh, no, no, no, no, that's the shrunken look. It's all the latest rage right now. Woman: Maybe a larger size? Gloria: Well, unfortunately, this particular sweater doesn't come in a larger size. And, uh, how about, uh-- I do have this lovely flowy thing that would-- Woman: No. Thank you. Gloria: Would you mind very much if I take a break? Lauren: No, absolutely. Go ahead. Gloria: Fine. But if I'm not back in ten minutes, it's because I threw myself under a bus! Lauren: Kevin, its Lauren. Look, your mother has had a disastrous first day. Yeah, I know. Look, I-I-I'm worried about her. I would call Michael, but I know he's in court, so... would you come over? Kevin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm on it. Uh, we gotta get out of here. Jana: Who was that? Kevin: Lauren. Mom is blowing it at the boutique. Big surprise there. Amber: Wait, you are gonna miss Katy's photo shoot. Kevin: This-- this can't be helped. Jana: Look, Amber, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings or anything about the dress. Amber: Oh, no, no big deal. You know, it's your big day. You should have what you want. Jana: Oh, thanks. Okay, we'll talk. You'll do something fantastic. Amber: Oh, yeah. You know, I'm full of ideas. Kevin: Okay. Amber: Hey, Kev? Kevin: Yeah? Amber: Um, listen, if you e-mail Daniel, could you tell him that his girlfriend would really like to hear from him before she gets, like, middle aged spread, you know? Kevin: You got it. Amber: Thanks. Phyllis: These are the gowns we picked for the last shoot. This is your bright idea? Nick: Did Jack put you up to this? Sharon: Um, I have a functioning brain, thank you. Jack: Katy is gonna be out of hair and makeup in about two minutes. I think we owe it to Sharon to just hear her out. Sharon: Okay. Here's what we do. We take this, you see, and then we--we just-- we cut it off at the bottom and we turn it into a mini. We don't do a hem. We just sort of leave it deconstructed. Man: Love it. Genius! Sharon: Right? Phyllis: You think its genius? Man: Yeah, with the right accessories, it'll be really cool. Katy: Hey, I'm ready. Nick: Uh, okay, Katy, does this, uh, sliced and diced little, uh, you know, number here speak to you? Katy: Yeah, it's really cute. Absolutely. Phyllis: Okay, Jack? Jack: Let's do it. Sharon: Okay. So, yeah, we'll just take-- cut the bottom off. We'll turn it into... [SCENE_BREAK] Adam: Is Victor around? Sabrina: Um... yeah, he's--he's upstairs, on the phone. Adam: You look like you're about to cry. Sabrina: I feel so silly. I feel so happy. I guess I'm just emotional. Adam: You mind if I sit down? Sabrina: No, not at all. Adam: Uh, were you, uh, were you upset at all by the fight between Victor and Nikki? Sabrina: At first. Adam: At first? Sabrina: Yeah. I mean, I'm not excusing Victor's behavior, I just clearly see there's a lot of animosity on both sides there, you know? Adam: Mm, he was pretty vicious. Sabrina: There's a lot of history between them. And I don't wanna judge them. I don't wanna even try. Adam: Yeah, my father's a tough guy to figure out, ain't he? Sabrina: You know, how I see it is... most people who are successful, they're complicated. Adam: Well, you know, I heard about his dark side. Sabrina: Adam... don't call it a dark side. It's... it's a passionate side. Adam: What's in a name, right? No, you know what? He was--he was right to be furious at me over the lawsuit, but... I think he forgave me. He proved it today. Sabrina: Oh, yeah. He did. Adam: Well, I don't understand why he can be that forgiving and understanding with me, and not his other kids and Nikki. Sabrina: He'd have to answer that. Adam: My mother never said a bad word about him. You think that he's just... different with different people? Sabrina: I feel that people who grew up without love, then they end up being hurtful to the people they love, you know? Especially their own family. Adam: Well, you know, he was never hurtful to my mother. From what I know, he was always very... very giving, very gentle, very kind. She brought out the best in him. You know what? So do you. Sabrina: Thank you. [SCENE_BREAK] Lauren: Enjoy your break? Gloria: Yeah, it was just hunky dory. Now why don't I spend the rest of the shift untangling these things, 'cause I probably can't wreck this. Kevin: Hey, Mom. You, uh, you look like you're doing arts and crafts at Happy Acres. [SCENE_BREAK] Jeff: I came to apologize. Jill: For what? Jeff: Gloria. At the boutique. Jill: You know, I only took you there because you said you were over Gloria. Jeff: I am. Jill: Oh, pretty words. Jeff: What she did was unforgivable. Jill: I agree with that. Jeff: So... I brought you an apology present. Jeff: See... I thought those colors against your skin... oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Perfection. Yes. Jill: I love silk. Jeff: Yeah? I love the way it feels. Jill: There's a lot of interesting things that two people can do with a silk scarf. Jeff: Mm-hmm. [SCENE_BREAK] Kevin: Mom, Magneto couldn't untangle this. Jana: It does seem to be quite a challenge, doesn't it? Gloria: Listen, if you have come here to patronize me, then just go away because I have been mocked and patronized all day and I'm sick of it! Lauren: I asked them to come. Gloria: Oh, so they can witness how far I've fallen? Lauren: No. To cheer you up. Gloria: (Scoffs) Kevin: Mom, you have it all wrong. Seeing you like this, it makes me proud. Gloria: Of what? Kevin: Well, you're in a bad situation, and you're dealing with it. No schemes. Gloria: No schemes, no dreams. I'm a loser, Kevin. Jana: You? Never. Kevin: You have done an honest day's work. That is nothing to be ashamed of. Jana: Yeah, and losing all your money must've devastated you! Even that can't beat you. Gloria: Yeah. Whoopee, me. Lauren: Well, I think it also forced you to grow up a little. Gloria: Well, go ahead, say it. It's about time. Kevin: And you know what the best part is? You're not planning your next scheme. Lauren: Exactly. Kevin: No! Lauren: No! Jana: No! Gloria: Oh, come on, y'all aren't any fun. [SCENE_BREAK] Jeff: My, my... Jill: Surprise. Jeff: I love surprises. Jill: Well, then... this... is your... lucky day. Jeff: Mm. [SCENE_BREAK] Victor: You see how happy Adam was when I gave him Beauty of Nature? Sabrina: Mm-hmm. Victor: Hm? Sabrina: That was a very generous gesture. Victor: Mm-hmm. Sabrina: I just hope, Victor, that you're not doing this to punish Victoria. Victor: Why would I do that? Sabrina: Well... because she won't commit to come to our wedding? Victor: My darling, I've been in business so long, I do not make business decisions out of anger. I never--I never have. Sabrina: Okay. Victor: All right? Sabrina: Because I know what Vicki said hurt you. Victor: Yes, it did. But that's neither here nor there. The point is, that Adam regained my trust. That's why I gave him Beauty of Nature. Sabrina: Good. Good. And anyway, Vicki might come to our wedding, so you never know. Victor: Oh, I doubt that seriously. I don't think Nicholas or she want anything to do with their father. So I'm gonna have to take them take paths... that lead nowhere. Sabrina: And on the other hand, Adam-- he listens to you. Victor: Well, if he's successful in revamping Beauty of Nature, then, you know, it'll be great for his career. Sabrina: Mm. (Sighs) well, I'm just happy that you're not doing this to punish Vicki, although, she might think that's the reason why. Victor: Sweetheart, I'm not doing it to punish my daughter. I really am not, but I will explain it to her. I understand your concern. Um... what? Sabrina: I'm just... I'm just overwhelmed with happiness, mon amour. [SCENE_BREAK] Nick: Wow, Katy, you were great. Katy: Oh. Ivo: Fierce. Phyllis: Amazing. Nick: Fierce. Phyllis: Oh, yeah. Katy: I'm pumped. I had a blast. Phyllis: Good. Good. We'll send you the proofs. I'm sure you'll love 'em. Jack: Well, thanks to Sharon. Sharon: Glad I could help. Katy: Of course. Phyllis: The camera loves you. Katy: Well, thanks. Not as much as I love the camera. Ivo: All right, we gotta go, all right? Nick: Hey, thanks again for everything, and we're sorry about the confusion earlier. Phyllis: Yeah. Katy: Oh, no worries. Ivo: No problem. Jack: Thanks, Folks, nice to meet you. Katy: Nice to meet you. Thank you. Phyllis: Bye. Nick: See ya, Ivo. Sharon: Thank you so much. Katy: Of course. Sharon: Great having you. Katy: Bye. Sharon: Bye. Nick: Your fashion fix was inspired. Jack: I'm still not sure this is gonna fly with our advertising base. Phyllis: Oh, Jack, come on, please. Amber: Jack? Its Peter from Alex Fashions on line one. Jack: Wish me luck. Hey, Peter, give me some good news. Yeah, that's true, but-- well, we're aiming for more than one demographic. Listen, if you advertise with "Restless Style," I can promise-- I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not giving up on you, Peter. I'll call you later. Phyllis: Ooh. Uh-oh. Jack: He found out we're going younger and hipper, and though he likes it personally, he doesn't think his customers will buy magazines with this rock star on the cover. Nick: Yeah, but he has to know we're gonna hit his demographic. Jack: Nick, Nick, Nick, give up on this one. I worked it. He's gone. Nick: Mm. Okay, uh, this is, uh, a minor setback. Jack: No, I think the accounting department would call it a major disaster. I think it's time we all take a big deep breath and rethink this cover. Phyllis: What? Sharon: Maybe we get a new cover model? Jack: Yeah. Nick: No. No. We're not doing that. Phyllis: No, absolutely not. That's insane. Jack: What, you think this is an isolated issue? You think these people don't talk to anybody else? Our phones are gonna be ringing off the hook for all the wrong reasons. Nick: You don't get to make the call on this one, Jack. I'm not giving up on it because I believe in it. Let's go get some air. Jack: If Nick thinks I'm just gonna roll over on this one, he better think again. [NEXT_ON] Michael: The best gift you could give me would be if you could tell me the truth about my daddy. Neil: It's Karen. Hey, Karen! Sabrina: I lied to you, Victor.
