Genevieve vowed revenge on the person who was messing with her secret bank account. Adam helped Chelsea with her GED test, and she later said she loved him. Sharon believed that Adam was faking his romance with Chelsea. Tucker and Harmony arranged for the Wanted to sing at the art gala when Angelina cancelled. Kevin gave Daisy a job at the coffeehouse. Chloe panicked when the supplies for the gala never showed up. Carmine secretly arranged for the delivery to be delayed. Daisy watched a video of Ricky murdering Rachel, his college girlfriend, on his laptop. Adam told Victor he was planning to propose to Chelsea at the gala. Carmine pretended to hear a truck arrive and tried to trap Chloe in the trunk of a car to get revenge on Kevin for stealing Angelina from him. Ricky realized that Daisy had watched his murder tape. Abby released Chloe and then put herself in the trunk to create a distraction from the failed gala. Michael arranged to meet Daisy, who'd called him with urgent information. Daniel and Phyllis believed Daisy was going to tell Michael about Phyllis running down Chris and Paul and were out to stop her. Michael found a scarf in the alley, but Daisy failed to appear at the arranged spot. Ricky returned to his hotel room, anxious about what he'd done.

June 25 to June 29, 2012

At the gala, Chloe reported that Carmine had attempted to kidnap her. Soon after, everyone learned that Carmine had taken Abby instead. Victor flew in Ronan Malloy to get Abby back. Carmine was shocked to learn that Abby had replaced Chloe in the trunk and was diverting attention from the failed gala by claiming to be kidnapped. Carmine was a wanted man. Chelsea accepted Adam's proposal. Michael found Daisy's scarf -- with Daniel's blood on it -- at the place where he was supposed to meet her. Ricky was pleased that nobody was reporting Daisy's disappearance, then he used Daisy's credit card and phone to make it look like Daniel was covering his tracks after doing away with his wife. Daniel was arrested when the evidence piled up, including Daisy's email to Kevin, warning that if she were harmed, Daniel had done it. Daniel insisted he was innocent, but even Kevin doubted his friend. Eden investigated Ricky's connection to Daisy. In Ricky's hotel room, she found Daisy's wallet and phone. Ricky caught Eden in a lie, saw the phone and wallet, and announced that he'd have to kill Eden. When Eden failed to meet Kevin in the park, Kevin asked Paul to see if she was with Ricky. Paul used a passkey to get into Ricky's room and found Eden's knapsack. Just as Ricky was about to murder Eden, Paul burst in to stop him. Carmine begged Abby to tell the truth about the abduction before it went too far. Devon made peace with Harmony. Tucker was supportive of Ashley during Abby's disappearance. Seeing how badly Ashley wanted her back, Abby called her mom. Ricky refused to let Eden go and blamed Paul for his becoming a killer.

JULY 2012

July 2 to June 6, 2012

Abby called Ashley to say that she was not in danger and that she'd faked the kidnapping to draw attention away from the failed gala. Ashley informed Jack and Victor that Abby was okay and that Victor had been right about the incident being a publicity stunt. Victor refused to enable Abby this time. Paul was horrified that Ricky had died from the fall out of the window. Eden regained consciousness but had no memory of what Ricky had said or done. Paul explained that he had shot Ricky to prevent him from killing Eden. Michael stated that the gun Paul had used the serial numbers filed off, making it seem like Paul had planned to shoot his son. Lauren told Michael that it was her gun. Michael feared that Lauren would do jail time for violating her probation. Cane was upset by a mysterious email from "Shirl" to "Claude," the secret nicknames he and Samantha had used for each other as kids. Genevieve swore she'd had nothing to do with the email, and Cane assumed Colin was the culprit. Abby returned and declared that Carmine was her boyfriend. The police arrested the pair, but Abby was able to make a deal to do community service. Michael planned to prosecute Carmine for kidnapping. Jeff and Gloria were impressed by Chelsea's engagement to Adam. Anita returned to reveal that Jeff was Chelsea's father. Anita threatened to tell Gloria that Anita and Jeffrey were still married unless Jeffrey paid her off. Nina convinced Paul to let Christine be his attorney. Daniel was exonerated in Daisy's disappearance when Michael discovered that Ricky had disposed of Daisy's wallet and phone before his death.

July 9 to June 13, 2012

When Heather went through Ricky's personal effects, she showed Christine a copy of Phyllis' credit card statement from December 1994, and Christine realized Phyllis had rented the car that had hit her and Paul back then. Tucker agreed to sign the divorce papers when Ashley said she only wanted to be friends with him. Christine told Paul that Phyllis might have wanted to kill her because Danny had kissed her the day Chris was to marry Paul. Phyllis denied everything when Christine confronted her with the credit card statement. Michael concurred with Christine about the credit card statement and found further evidence that Phyllis had driven the rental car. However, the statute of limitations had expired, and Michael could not prosecute Phyllis. Abby asked Rafe to get Carmine's sentence reduced, but he explained that Chloe was going to testify against Carmine, and he was facing jail time. Abby asked Chloe to talk to Carmine and give him a chance to apologize. Michael warned Phyllis about Christine, but Phyllis refused to confess to anything, swearing to everyone -- Nick, Avery, and Michael -- that she was innocent. Daniel was disappointed in Phyllis and could not hide his feelings. Christine informed Paul and Nina that when Phyllis tried to run her down, Chris had been a federal employee, and there was no statute of limitations on the attempted murder of a federal agent. Christine was intent on putting Phyllis behind bars. Adam asked Victor to invest with him, but Victor would only work with Adam if he dropped Chelsea.

Michael and Ronan were sympathetic to Phyllis and felt Christine was out for revenge. Avery and Daniel urged Phyllis to consider taking the D.A.'s deal, even though it meant five years in prison.

Victor blasted Abby for taking Carmine with her to the ranch. Abby and Carmine made love. Kevin and Chloe accepted Adam's major investment in their web startup. Before leaving town, Adam bought Genevieve's former house as a wedding gift for Chelsea. Sharon learned that Adam was eloping with Chelsea to Kansas. When Victor asked Sharon to move in with him, she reacted by lying to him and leaving town. Sharon wanted to reunite with Adam before his wedding to Chelsea. Adam planned a traditional wedding for Chelsea. Adam arrived at Hope's farmhouse and was startled to find Sharon there. Adam said that a part of him would always love Sharon, but Chelsea was his best friend, and he wanted to marry her. Adam and Chelsea were married at the farm. Victor flew to Kansas and took Sharon back to Genoa City. Sharon agreed to live with Victor, and he moved her into the guest room. Nick warned Christine to stay away from his children. Nick told Phyllis he would stay with her. Billy decided to publicize Phyllis' scandal in order to satisfy the producers of the Restless Style reality television show.

July 23 to June 27, 2012

Billy fired Phyllis from Restless Style because his investors wanted her out. Phyllis resented that Billy planned to use her on the next cover. Later, Nick slugged Billy for betraying Phyllis, unaware that the office cameras had recorded the assault. Ashley insisted that Jack could not be the CEO of a Jabot/Beauty of Nature merger, so Jack met with two Jabot board members to convince them to vote his way. Jeff told Gloria he'd had Anita declared legally dead; therefore, Anita wasn't his wife. Chelsea loved that Adam had bought her the lakeside mansion. Jeff and Anita tried to wheedle their way into Chelsea's rich new life. Cane helped Genevieve in the aftermath of her room being trashed. Genevieve found an old photo of her, Colin, Cane, Caleb, and Samantha and tried to get Tucker to comfort her. Cane and Lily considered who, other than Genevieve, could be attacking the Atkinsons. Sofia told Neil about her exciting New York job offer. Neil said if Sofia dared take the position, he'd fight for Moses in court. After being rejected by Adam and unhappy with Victor, Sharon acted out by stealing items at Fenmore's. Chelsea, in post-wedding bliss, told Sharon to keep away from Adam. Tim's neighbor identified Phyllis to the police. Phyllis admitted that she had paid off her ex-psychiatrist to go on vacation. Tim received a call from his neighbor about Phyllis being arrested. Michael and Ronan accused Christine of having a vendetta against Phyllis. Heather demanded Paul fire Christine as his attorney because Phyllis distracted her.

Abby was unable to convince Gloria to rehire Carmine. Kyle asked Eden out on a date.

July 30 to August 3, 2012

During a police interrogation, Tim admitted that Phyllis had paid him to leave town, but he would not reveal what she'd said in confidence in their therapy sessions. Tim later blackmailed Phyllis with a tape in which she confessed to the hit-and-run. Phyllis refused to have sex with Tim, but he wanted money and something from her. Michael planned to take Tim to court to force him to reveal what he knew about Phyllis' past. Nick remained oblivious to Phyllis being squeezed by Tim. Christine was stunned when Paul said he wanted to plead guilty to Ricky's murder. Billy and Traci learned that Jack was seizing power of Jabot and Beauty of Nature, forcing Ashley into a lesser role. Victor told Kyle about Jack's moved-up wedding date before Jack talked with his son, prompting Kyle to skip the wedding. Victor and Jack were trapped in an elevator together, but acted like gentleman, much to everyone's shock. The day of Nikki's wedding, Victor whisked Sharon to Las Vegas. On the jet, Sharon agreed to sign a generous pre-nup before a judge married her and Victor. Chelsea thought she might be pregnant, but it was a false alarm. Adam loved the idea of starting a family, and they began baby-making. Before marrying Jack, Nikki returned to the ranch to reminisce about her and Victor. Later, Victor stopped Nikki before walking down the aisle, and Sharon arrived to tell Nikki that she'd married Victor. Nikki wished them well, then proceeded to marry Jack. Adam learned of Sharon's marriage and was unaffected. At the ceremony, Jack was able to stand on his own two feet. Abby gave Kay a check to cover the losses from the arts gala. Ashley approved of Abby's gesture. John's spirit appeared to Jack and criticized him for his greedy ways. Jack rejected his father's advice.

AUGUST 2012

August 6 to August 10, 2012

Tucker tried to help Sharon when Victor disappeared on their wedding night. A drunken Sharon went to Nikki's wedding, looking for Victor, and Nikki pushed her into the pool. Billy's first episode of Restless Style was a success, even though Victoria objected to his using family information as gossip. Phyllis freaked out when Billy suggested on the Restless Style television show that he had bombshell information about her case. Chelsea told Victoria that she and Adam were trying to get pregnant. Adam and Kevin hustled to launch the TagNGrab website before the competition. Phyllis refused to sleep with Tim, but agreed to pay him blackmail in exchange for the confession tape. Nick was incensed when he caught Phyllis paying off Tim after wiping out Summer's trust fund to get the money. Avery was disgusted with Phyllis' lies and quit her case to handle Paul's defense. Sharon had a hangover and apologized to Tucker but was still miffed that Victor was gone. Jack promoted Cane at Jabot. Nick warned Sharon to get her head on straight for Faith's sake. Nikki was not pleased with Sharon's efforts to find Victor, so she took over. Kay warned Nikki to attend to her marriage to Jack. Harmony and Neil had their first official date. Avery went to the Newman ranch to collect Victor's legal work, but Sharon denied that she'd signed a pre-nup. Later, Nikki found Victor's phone on the ranch and used it to send a fake text message to Sharon, saying -- as Victor -- that the marriage was over. Sharon was furious about the message, thinking Victor had dumped her. Sharon discovered the pre-nup in Victor's briefcase and realized that she'd get nothing from their brief marriage. Sharon burned the pre-nup, nearly getting caught by Nikki. Eden agreed to try hypnosis to remember the night of Ricky's death. Eden became extremely frightened. Despite Kyle's protesting, Eden continued but could only recall intense fear of Ricky. Eden hoped her words would be enough to help Paul, but Christine had doubts. Christine said goodbye to Paul before returning to D.C., confident that he'd be a free man soon with Avery handling his defense. While his family was in the dark about his whereabouts, Victor stood alone at an industrial loading dock and contemplated what to do.

August 13 to August 17, 2012

Phyllis blasted Daniel's relationship with Heather. Avery was relieved that Phyllis hired Leslie as her new attorney. Heather and Daniel dated in secret and made love. Lauren was frustrated that Eden's memory was not enough to help Paul. Avery got bail for Paul, and Lauren put up the bond. Cane and Genevieve were the victims of another prank from a woman who hired an actor to play Claude Shirl. Tucker offered to give Genevieve a job to do for him, and agreed to pay her bills. Harmony and Neil had a successful second date. Neil asked Devon to keep at eye on Lily and Cane. Jack tried to surprise Nikki with a honeymoon, but she was compelled to fly off to search for Victor. Jack warned Nikki not to go. Victoria and Nick were convinced that Sharon had burned the prenuptial agreement Victor had required before their marriage, but Sharon denied the existence of the pre-nup. Victoria agreed to return to Newman Enterprises to help Nick keep the company from floundering while Victor was missing. Tucker coached Sharon on how to use Victor's proxy to assume the role of acting CEO of Newman. Tucker masterminded a way to take over Newman Enterprises. In Los Angeles, Victor took day work at a warehouse. In a waterside bar, Victor got into a fistfight with some guys who tried to cheat him in a game of dice. Victor won the fight, but seemed in need of a doctor. Kevin asked Phyllis to be a TagNGrab user to generate publicity for the fledgling website. Billy worried about the Restless Style TV ratings. Michael threatened to arrest Billy for not revealing his source to the D.A.'s office. Phyllis learned from Avery that Michael planned to depose Tim. Avery warned Phyllis to stay away from Tim. Phyllis lied to Nick and arranged a sexual liaison with Tim to stop him from talking at the deposition. While waiting in the living room for Phyllis to slip into something seductive, Tim overdosed on erectile dysfunction medication and keeled over. Kevin knocked on the door to the penthouse as Phyllis panicked, thinking that Tim was dead.

August 20 to August 24, 2012

Sharon cited legal precedent and was named acting CEO of Newman Enterprises while Victor was away. Sharon objected to the way Nick reacted to her new role, and Tucker suggested that she fire Nick. Avery suggested that Nick use Sharon's history of "mental instability"� to wrest control of the company from her. Jack asked Abby to be his silent partner in buying up shares of Newman stock, which was plummeting because of Sharon's management. Adam questioned Sharon's desire for power, and she said she'd learned about being ruthless from him and Victor. Adam assumed that someone was telling Sharon how to run the company. Sharon fired the head of Newman security when he questioned her stopping the search for Victor. After learning that Chelsea and Adam were having a baby, Sharon had a fit and ripped up the ranch decor. When Abby insulted Sharon on the Restless Style television show, Sharon ordered the stable manager to give away Abby's horses. Sharon also kicked Kyle off the ranch. Kevin and Phyllis put Tim's dead body back in Tim's apartment. Beth, Tim's neighbor, had a run-in with Kevin, who pretended to be an encyclopedia salesman. Later, Beth provided a sketch to the police of the salesman. Kevin forced Phyllis to become part of TagNGrab, reminding her that she owed him. Phyllis lied to Nick when he asked her point-blank if she'd had any part in Tim's death. Michael and Ronan determined that Tim had been moved post-mortem to make it look like he had died alone. Michael was convinced Phyllis was involved because she had a weak alibi and a lot to gain with Tim dying before his deposition. Tucker revealed his takeover plan of Newman to Genevieve, cutting her in on the deal. Genevieve went on the road at Tucker's behest to find Victor. Nikki failed to find Victor in Kansas at Hope's farmhouse. Jack refused to take Nikki's calls. At a Los Angeles waterfront bar, Victor was broke and in bad shape. A woman, Sister Celeste, helped him with a place to stay and a lead for a job. Genevieve walked into the waterfront bar, but didn't notice Victor. When the nun asked Victor his name, he told her to call him Christian.

August 27 to August 31, 2012

Phyllis confided in Ronan about Tim blackmailing her and his dying in her living room. Ronan learned that Kevin had helped her move the body and stash the incriminating rug. Ronan covered for both of them with Michael. Beth identified Kevin as the "encyclopedia salesman," but Kevin lied to his brother and Chloe about being involved with Tim. Chloe warned Kevin to be honest with her. Billy got Kevin to pull up text messages from Tucker's phone and found a lead to a dive bar in L.A. Daniel and Heather escalated their romance, and he urged to get rid of Ricky's things. Heather decided to keep Ricky's Niagara Falls snow globe. Avery and Paul met Ricky's friend, Bryce, who revealed that Ricky had killed Rachel and kept the recording of the murder. After an encounter with a Samantha look-alike, Lily found a "Claude Shirl" business card. Lily overruled Cane and asked Ronan to investigate who Cane and Genevieve's stalker was. Tucker informed Sofia of his plan to use Sharon to take over Newman. Tucker set up Sharon to be eviscerated by a newspaper reporter. Sharon fired Nick when he questioned if she was responsible for Victor's disappearance. Abby decided to buy up all available Newman stock to undercut Sharon's power. Nick and Victoria called a secret board meeting and then confronted Sharon, asking her to step down. Tucker subtly supported Sharon, and she refused to resign as CEO. Nikki returned from her search of Victor's sanctuaries. Jack, who was disappointed about his doctor's prediction that he'd never fully recover, turned on Nikki and said that their marriage was over. Victor was grateful to Sister Celeste for her help. Genevieve followed a lead to the L.A. bar and found Victor. She noticed him grabbing his chest and helped him. He introduced himself as "Christian" and didn't recognize Genevieve. Kyle moved back in with Jack and told his father about Sharon's bizarre behavior, like swiping Kyle's driver's license. In private, Sharon looked at her box of stolen stuff. Phyllis stonewalled when Michael demanded the truth, forcing him to call a judge for a court order. Sharon kissed Tucker passionately.

SEPTEMBER 2012

September 3 to September 7, 2012

Victoria informed Sharon that Nick would use her mental health history against her, then Victoria found Sharon's box of stolen items. Genevieve informed Tucker that Victor's heart problems were going untreated, and he agreed to send medication. Sister Celeste learned that Victor was struggling to remember his past. Celeste warned Victor not to trust Genevieve. Billy hired Genevieve to do his bidding as well as Tucker's. Billy returned home to Victoria and didn't tell her about Victor. Phyllis tried to make Michael and Nick believe that she and Ronan were having an affair. Michael urged Phyllis to tell the truth. Nick was disgusted with Phyllis, but punched Ronan in the face. Adam and Abby went to the courthouse to hear the results of Sharon's hearing. Nick's testimony was very critical of Sharon. The judge named Victoria interim CEO and asked Sharon to submit to 72 hours of evaluation at Fairview if she wanted to win her job back. Adam encouraged Sharon to walk away from Newman Enterprises -- and Tucker's influence. Sharon made love to Tucker, and he convinced her to go to Fairview. At the mental institution, Sharon was stunned to see Daisy. Cane warned Jack that he risked losing Beauty of Nature and Jabot while buying up Newman stock. Nikki tried in vain to appeal to Jack for another chance at their marriage. Jack held steady with his plan. Jack started divorce proceedings. Nikki went to the ranch to search for clues about Victor's whereabouts, and pleaded for him to return. Avery asked Paul to help her find Ricky's recording of Rachel's murder. Paul learned that Heather had thrown away Ricky's things, except for a snow globe from Niagara Falls.

September 10 to September 14, 2012

Michael didn't believe that Phyllis and Ronan had been having an affair. Despite all Michael's efforts, Ronan, Phyllis, and Kevin stuck with their cover-up story. Ronan arranged for Beth to go on vacation so Michael could not depose her. Phyllis refused Avery's advice, even though her sister was right about Nick's negative reaction to Phyllis' lies. Ronan stunned Nick by revealing he was lying for Phyllis because he was in love with her. Summer learned about Ronan and Phyllis from Fen. Unable to tell Summer the truth, Nick and Phyllis lied about the affair and Summer rebelled by buying vodka. Ronan caught Summer and Fen with the bottle and saved them from being arrested. Paul discovered a flash drive with a video hidden in Ricky's snow globe. In the video, Ricky claimed that if something happened to him, Paul had done it. Lauren was determined to protect Paul by revealing the truth about the gun, but Michael begged her to remain silent. Nick moved back to the ranch. Chelsea and Adam agreed to keep her pregnancy a secret, but then Jeffrey and Gloria overheard Chloe telling Kevin about the baby. Chloe surprised Kevin with a shelter dog. Kevin confessed to Chloe that he was involved with Phyllis' cover-up. Chloe was furious with Kevin. In Los Angeles, Victor stood up for the dockworkers and, in retaliation, was seriously injured on the job. Despite the danger, Victor would not stop fighting for the workers. Genevieve feared that Victor would be seriously hurt. Tucker insisted that Genevieve keep Victor away from Genoa City. Jack told Katherine and Nikki that Victor might have run off with Genevieve. Victoria rehired Nick and ensured that neither of them could be fired without approval from the Newman board. Sharon was stunned to discover Daisy was hiding at Fairview to avoid Ricky's murderous rage. Sharon informed Daisy that Ricky had been killed. Dr. Laurents released Sharon from Fairview, and she immediately returned to Newman Enterprises. Daisy took an overdose of pills to get transferred to Genoa City Memorial Hospital, where she hoped to escape. Jack warned Victoria that Tucker might be plotting a hostile takeover of Newman Enterprises, but Victoria was worried about Jack's five percent acquisition of Newman stock.

September 17 to September 21, 2012

Sharon returned to Newman Enterprises and forced Nick and Victoria to show their support for her as CEO by calling a press conference. Despite Nick and Victoria's warning that Tucker was using her, Sharon continued to trust him. Nikki appealed to Billy to use Restless Style to find Victor. Abby refused to cooperate with the press conference. When Sharon tried to coerce Adam, he threatened to reveal to the judge that Sharon was cheating on Victor with Tucker. In Los Angeles, Victor broke his hand in a scuffle on the docks, and Sister Celeste was nearly run down by a forklift. To protect the nun, Victor pretended to give up the fight for the dockworkers, but he secretly continued to fight. Billy was upset when Genevieve reported that Victor had disappeared. Billy flew to L.A. after Victor returned. Billy asked a wary Victor to trust him. Sofia warned Tucker that he was risking SEC sanctions with his massive buying of the depressed Newman stock. Tucker asked Genevieve to take a picture of Victor. When Sharon saw the photo that showed Victor with Sister Celeste, she assumed her husband had deserted her for another woman. Billy texted Nikki a phone number where she could reach Victor. When Nikki called the number, Victor seemed to recognize Nikki's voice. A dockworker lured Victor into a warehouse that was rigged to blow up. Billy was unable to reach Victor before the warehouse exploded. Adam and Kevin met with Cane to make a deal between Jabot and TagNGrab. Kevin nixed the deal, and Adam was aggravated with Kevin. Michael advised Phyllis to stop keeping secrets and tell Leslie everything she'd done so her lawyer wouldn't be blindsided in court. Christine fumed at Ronan for having had an affair with Phyllis when he was investigating her for attempted murder. Christine informed Ronan that she would be reporting his impropriety to the Department of Justice. Summer moved to the tack house with Nick rather than live with Phyllis. Heather and Daniel's romance was derailed by the news that Daisy was alive. Kevin visited a comatose Daisy at Fairview and promised to protect her. Kevin would not allow Paul to bother Daisy with questions about Ricky. Paul went to see his sister, Patty, and when she created a diversion, Paul was able to sneak into Daisy's room. When Daisy awakened, she told Paul that she'd seen the video of Ricky murdering Rachel, and that was why Ricky had wanted to kill her, too. Paul took the information to Chris, Lauren, and Michael. When they returned to Fairview to get Daisy's testimony, they were shocked to learn that her mother had checked her out of the institution.

September 24 to September 28, 2012

Billy believed Victor had died in the explosion in Los Angeles and told the family. At Sharon's press conference, the news arrived that Victor had died. The Newmans were devastated, but Sharon seemed unfazed. When asked to identify the body, she knew it wasn't Victor but said it was. She had the body cremated and then planned a quickie funeral service. Sharon arrived at the chapel in white because she was going to marry Tucker after Victor's service. Jack was forced to sell Beauty of Nature to Tucker when Victor's death resulted in a margin call on the Newman stock. Chelsea suggested to Adam that they name their baby for Victor. Billy was wracked with guilt because he hadn't taken Victor back home as soon as he'd found him. Kevin urged Billy to tell Victoria the truth. Sister Celeste led Genevieve to an injured Victor. Genevieve nursed Victor as he struggled with a concussion. At the cemetery, Sharon ended the service quickly, not allowing the family to speak. Nikki mourned for Victor at the graveside.

Genevieve offered to testify against Tucker to help Jack with the SEC. Phyllis was stunned to see Danny in town and refused to discuss what had happened 18 years before with Christine and Paul. Danny apologized to Paul for the past. Christine was happy to see Danny again. At Fairview, the security cameras didn't reveal the identity of the woman who'd discharged Daisy. Victor assured Billy that he wouldn't reveal to Victoria what Billy had done in Los Angeles. Patty knew more about what had happened with Daisy than she told Paul.

OCTOBER 2012

October 1 to October 5, 2012

Phyllis was upset that Daniel seemed to be dating Heather, even though he denied it. Daniel and Heather convinced Chloe and Kevin to keep secret that they were indeed having a romance. Ronan tried to tell Phyllis that he loved her and was on her side, but she said she was committed to reuniting with Nick. Lauren advised Phyllis to keep her distance from Danny and Christine, but Phyllis was too irate to stay away. When Danny told Phyllis that he knew she had run down Christine and Paul years before, Phyllis revealed that she'd seen him kissing Christine the night of the hit-and-run. Christine overheard and told Michael that Phyllis had admitted to having a motive for attempted murder. Nina was furious when she learned that Phyllis was having an affair with Ronan. Phyllis and Nina threw insults at each other. Noah blasted Sharon for the way she was handling things and the effect on their family. Sharon was arrested and jailed. When Sharon attempted to broker a peace with Victor, he said that he was through with her. Avery and Nick celebrated Faith's birthday, but Avery wouldn't betray Phyllis' trust by responding to Nick's leaning in for a kiss. Victor and Nikki decided to take their renewed relationship slowly. Jack gave Tucker 48 hours to get things in order before he would called the SEC on Tucker...or take Beauty of Nature back from him. Tucker fumed at Genevieve for betraying him, but she was unapologetic. Sarge confided in Jack about his brother. Harmony didn't seem to remember Sarge's brother, but he recalled that she'd had a part in his brother's death. Devon rejected Tucker as a father. Eden tried hypnosis again to remember the night Ricky had died. Eden could only recall a few words that made Paul look guilty. Kyle encouraged Eden to tell the police or Paul what she remembered. In the alley outside the Athletic Club, Paul found Ricky's knife in a sewer grate. At the police station, everyone was shocked when there were no fingerprints on the knife. Later, a mysterious person walked past the alley. Lily and Cane had a romantic night together at the Athletic Club. Ronan went to see Phyllis again; she succumbed to his advances, and they made love. Kay disowned Tucker and announced that she would give Tucker's inheritance to Devon.

October 8 to October 12, 2012

Summer walked in on Phyllis and Ronan having sex. Summer blabbed to Nick, who planted a surprise kiss on Avery. Summer took a bat to Ronan's car, but he agreed not to press charges. Summer convinced Fen to sneak out for the night. The teens shared a kiss while their relatives and friends searched for them. Fen voluntarily returned home, and Summer went ballistic when she saw Phyllis and Ronan talking at Phyllis' trial. Michael pressured Chloe into spilling the truth about Kevin's role in the cover-up of Tim's death. Kevin confessed all to Michael, but he despised Michael for backing him into a corner. Kevin couldn't forgive Chloe for exposing his secrets. At the trial, Michael interrogated an uncooperative Kevin. The trial was delayed because the judge became ill, and everyone in the courtroom was stunned when the replacement judge dismissed the case. Victor accepted Tucker's offer to sell Beauty of Nature to Victor if Victor dropped the lawsuit against Sharon. Unaware of Tucker's sacrifice, Sharon signed the annulment papers and reported Tucker to the SEC. Tucker was arrested for stock manipulation, but he was soon released. Sharon agreed to recant her statement, and she and Tucker declared a truce. Victor learned that Sharon had sold enough of his personal Newman Enterprises stock to compromise his stake as majority shareholder. Victor approached Adam about siding with the Newman family to prevent a takeover, but a resentful Adam sold his shares to Jack instead. Tucker struck a deal with Jack, who openly planned a hostile takeover. Adam and Chelsea planned to go on a "baby moon," but on their way to the airport, they found themselves about to collide with a distraught Summer.

October 15 to October 19, 2012

Phyllis walked out of court a free woman. Christine told Paul that she would sue Phyllis in civil court to get justice. Kevin was furious with Chloe for ratting him out to Michael, but chose to forgive her after the case was dismissed. Michael decided to ignore all the laws that Ronan had broken to protect Phyllis. Nick informed Phyllis that he was filing for divorce. Summer's car hit Adam's, and they all landed in the hospital. Nick learned that as a result of the accident, Chelsea had lost the baby, but he didn't tell Summer. Phyllis decided to get Summer to forgive her by winning Nick back to reunite the family. Avery charmed Nick over a game of chess. Summer went to apologize to Adam and Chelsea, then learned that she'd caused Chelsea to lose her baby. Summer was devastated and asked Noah to let her move into his New York apartment. Eden told Paul, Christine, and Heather about a dream in which Ricky had spoken to her. They deciphered the words, and Paul hoped they were clues to evidence that would prove Ricky was a homicidal maniac. Christine decided to follow the clues, since Paul couldn't go to California because of the trial. Sharon was hurt by Noah's rejection. Adam hid the pain of losing the baby from Chelsea. Summer told Noah that she'd file for emancipation. Cane used a fire drill at the Athletic Club to smoke out the Samantha impersonator. The woman claimed that Genevieve had hired her to gaslight Cane.

Avery feared that Phyllis would never accept Avery and Nick as a couple. Phyllis had a heart-to-heart talk with Jack and realized her marriage to Nick was over.

Sharon was concerned that medication would alter her personality. Noah took Faith to visit Sharon. Ronan told Phyllis that he thought Summer might be involved with whomever was cyberbullying Jamie. Phyllis told Nick about Summer's possible involvement with Jamie, but Nick defended Summer. Michael and Lauren realized their disapproval of Summer only made her more appealing to Fen. Summer reached out to Jamie, and Fen was jealous. Victor learned that Victoria had been kidnapped because Billy owed someone money for gambling. Victor took charge of the situation because he didn't trust Billy. Nick and Billy left together to pay off Eddie and get Victoria back.

With Tucker's support, Jill suggested that she and Kay run Chancellor Industries together. Neil asked Leslie to work for Jabot. John appeared to Jack and said that he was worried about Jack.

Lily was thrilled to be working with Cane at Jabot, but he was uneasy. Chelsea told Adam that she believed that Sharon was still in love with him. Sharon left Adam's and told Noah that she had bipolar disorder. Sharon told Noah that Adam saved her from the fire and that she'd started it. Phyllis told Avery she was never going to be okay with Avery dating Nick. Adam informed Phyllis that they needed to work as a team for the sake of Newman Enterprises. Jack questioned Adam about an acquisition Adam had made without Jack's approval. Jack leaned on his pain medication, and on Thanksgiving, he questioned whether he had been right to acquire Newman Enterprises. Phyllis promised to stick by Jack's side no matter how tough it got. As Phyllis went to embrace Jack goodnight, he surprised her with a passionate kiss. Jill and Katherine got into a heated argument over the terms of their working together at Chancellor Industries. Katherine gasped for breath as Jill rushed to call 9-1-1. Katherine sat up and told Jill that it was merely a test to see how genuine Jill's feelings for Katherine were. Jill was relieved. Devon rejected Tucker's offer to save the music studio. Devon reiterated that Neil was his father and determined he was going to work at Jabot instead.

Victor followed through on his threat to Billy and told Victoria that Billy had known about Victor's amnesia and kept it from the family. Victoria was devastated by the lie, but also blamed Victor for using the information to blackmail Billy. Victoria agreed to let Billy remain in the house while she contemplated their future together. Nick and Avery made love and decided that Phyllis couldn't dictate where their relationship was heading. Avery proposed that Nick follow his dreams in his next business venture. Victor learned Jack was dependent on pain medication to do his job at Newman. Despite Kyle's request that Phyllis remain with Jack while he recovered, Phyllis decided to move home. Ronan received an assignment in Washington, DC, and accepted it when Phyllis told him she didn't want a relationship with him. Tucker bought Adam's share of TagNGrab and bought out Kevin and Chloe for pennies on the dollar. Kevin was crushed, but Chloe chose to move on to a new fashion business with Chelsea. Chloe wanted to use Tucker's money as an investment, but Kevin said they needed the money to keep the bank from foreclosing on their house. Michael was disappointed by Kevin's risky financial dealings, but agreed to lend him $10,000. Chelsea confided in Chloe that Sharon had been living in the cottage. Tucker asked Jill to dinner. Neil relegated Cane to training Devon at Jabot. Lily assured Cane that Neil would treat him fairly.

Despite Adam's assurances to Chelsea that he was only Sharon's friend, Chelsea was jealous and suspicious. Chelsea confronted Sharon and warned Sharon that she'd tell everyone Sharon had burned down Victor's house if Sharon didn't stop leaning on Adam. Chelsea then told Adam he could only fix their problems by never seeing Sharon again. Without telling Chloe, Kevin broke into the TagNGrab account and transferred money from there into his personal account.

Billy tried to get a traumatized Victoria to open up about the kidnapping. Jack tried in vain to make amends with Victoria and Billy. Jack grew more dependent on pain pills. Adam and Chelsea continued squabbling about Sharon. Victor informed Adam of Jack's painkiller dependency and urged him to move against Jack for control of Newman Enterprises. Sharon confessed to Dr. Watkins that Chelsea had threatened to reveal that Sharon had started the ranch fire. Sharon sent Adam back to his wife and told him she couldn't rely on him any longer. When Nick found out about Sharon being on the property, he confronted her and learned that she had bipolar disorder. Nick warned Adam not to exploit Sharon's illness for his benefit. Neil convinced Leslie to work with him at Jabot despite their mutual attraction. Devon criticized Neil about the uptight environment at Jabot. Tucker flirted with Jill over dinner. Michael warned Fen that Summer was not a good influence. Later, when Summer needed Fen's help, he rejected her because he was jealous of her friendship with Jamie. Summer blamed Phyllis for ruining their family. Phyllis told Summer about why she'd left home as a teenager. Summer was more comfortable with Avery than with Phyllis. In a staff meeting at Newman Enterprises, Jack became increasingly forgetful, a result of the medication he was abusing. Jack bribed a doctor to write another prescription for pain pills when he'd used all he had. Nikki and Victor moved into a luxury penthouse then hosted a party for friends and family. Sharon crashed the party to apologize to the Newmans, but they treated her with disdain. Noah took a swing at Carmine, who was bartending, when Carmine mocked Sharon. Adam followed Sharon home from the party and tried to calm her. Adam kissed Sharon deeply. Chelsea, who'd followed Adam, discovered him embracing Sharon.

Fen's jealousy of Jamie festered, and he sent more harassing text messages. Jamie's father was arrested for DUI, which meant Jamie would likely be placed in foster care. When Michael and Lauren reached out to Jamie, Fen was angry. Summer sympathized with Jamie about his father. Jamie kissed Summer. Victor told Nick about Sharon having started the fire. Sharon admitted to Nick that when she started the blaze, she had been mentally ill. Nikki asked Chelsea to testify against Sharon, but Chelsea feared losing Adam. Sharon made Adam see that Chelsea had told Nikki and Victor about the fire because she'd seen Adam kiss Sharon. Adam told Chelsea that Sharon didn't deserve to lose her children and be imprisoned because of Chelsea's insecurities. Chelsea confided in Chloe about her shaky marriage, and Chloe offered to get even with Sharon for Chloe. Victor realized the other fires in town had been Adam's way to cover for Sharon.
