As Jana screams for help - then gets a grip on herself; be strong - CL's has been turned into search headquarters. Glo reports that Jeff's handing flyers out at the mall - then encourages Kevin (who's going 'nuts'). Mike arrives - Chance got the police to file a missing person's report - and added Jana to the nationwide 'missing' database. Jana's cell's off and there's been no credit card activity. Reminding all of her alibi, Daisy provides some unwanted reassurance -we'll find her. What IS it about that girl? Glo shudders. But forget her - and Ryder, Kevin would accept the devil's help if it brought Jana home safely. Pausing to watch, Daisy strolls out, flyer in hand.

More of the same at the happy Hellstrum home - today's topic? Vikki's necessary 'business' trip - or - yet again, as JT sees it - putting work ahead of family. Meanwhile, Nick and Phyllis are at the ranch - so pleased that Victor's back home. The trio now discuss Ashley distancing herself from Adam. A good move, Phyllis announces - especially after what they found out ...

'Relocating to Europe' and 'Settling Overseas' are a couple of the books Adam purchases from Trumble's. Why Yes, Ryder has indeed thought about starting fresh elsewhere. Well Adam's doing - it for real.

Unimpressed and unconcerned, Tucker scoffs - Kay's grasping at straws. Thomas admired the painting - so borrowed it. As the Cultural Minister of Yugoslavia, Kay reasons that Thomas is hardly a man who needs to 'borrow' art. The Iron Curtain? It was lifted years ago silly boy. No, Tucker never DID get the painting back - after 25 years - he forgot about it. Yes, Kay's really researched this - so knows the painting was transferred from Tucker's insurance - to Thomas'. Despite no bill of sale, HE'S considered the owner. Now it's a 'gift'? The Department of Justice has another name for it - International corporate bribery (punishable under the something something act). That's the way business was done back then, Tucker tries again - he's no criminal. The DOP may disagree - Kay warns it could be the end of his empire - which she knows from experience 'stinks'. uh oh - Tucker looks like Mommy caught him with his hand in the cookie jar.

Nick and Phyllis have now updated Victor on everything Adam's suspected of - but dammit there's no proof. With Skye and Taylor dead, it's Ashley's word against Adam's. Oh - who to believe. Having talked to a therapist (about Ashley's memory), Victor explains it could be could be 'false' memories. Or they could be true, Phyllis insists. Victor now calls to summon Adam to the ranch - NOW.

JT lectures Vikki about putting work above Reed - if HE had to pick between his son and McCall Unlimited, it'd be an easy choice for him - can Vikki say the same? JT WILL be in his son's life - NOT every other weekend - ALL the time. He won't be pushed out by Vikki, a Judge - or Victor. Whaddaya want?! he barks into his phone. No - you're timing's perfect, he walks off to talk. Ending the call, JT informs it wasn't Tucker - it was Kevin. You're leaving NOW? Vikki balks. Yeah - JT's done talking about their marriage.

Oh good - Glo's optimistic - JT knows a thing or two about investigating. She and Mike then drop delicate hints - has Jana seen her doctor recently? Kevin sighs - the tumour's not back - the scan was clear. If Glo really wants to help, she can cough up a million dollar reward. Whatever you need, Angel. Mike objects - a big reward will bring out bogus leads. You HAVE done something l'il bro - it's all over the Internet - friends and family are searching. The police - let them do their job.

At Trumble's, Daisy shows Ryder the poster - can you believe this? Kevin must be worried sick, Ryder looks concerned. Daisy thinks he should be - too bad they didn't back off. It's bad enough that she has to pretend to care. Tossing the poster, Daisy's moving on to Plan B - soon Kevin can stop wondering what happened to Jana.

Tucker's sure Kay plans to tattle to the authorities - so, what's she waiting for? To say 'she won'? The war's not over. Kay figures it's only a war if both sides fight. She's not in this to 'win'? Kay isn't telling anyone - this conversation stays between the two of them. And with one backwards glance, Kay leaves sonny boy speechless and with a tear in his eye.

As summoned, Adam meets Victor at the ranch - what's the big emergency? It's not a good idea to meet here. Victor doesn't give a damn if Tucker finds out - what happened here last summer - while Ashley was pregnant?

Back at CL's, Mike reads a text from Chance - Jana's not at any hospitals or morgues. How wonderful. Yeah great - maybe her body hasn't been found yet, Kev pouts. Stay positive - Jana never gave up hope when HE was missing. I've got flyers and false leads! Kevin rants - if something happened to her .... He knows he's missing something - but what!?

Ryder delivers a bag to Jana - food, toothbrush, soap - clothes. You can't even look at me, Jana sneers - I was right about you and Daisy. You're bloody twins, she chuckles. She knows about their mother too. No - she's not scared. You should be - you wanted to know so bad - so we let you. You brought this on yourself - was it worth it? Trying to be so tough, Jana scoffs - but knows Ryder's not - he cares about Kevin (who cares about HIM too). Through the bars, Jana pleads to be taken home - you'll be a hero. No go - Jana knows who their mother is - so does she honestly think she'll ever get out of here?

Over dinner at the club, Phyllis and Nick discuss Adam - it's about time folks started to see through him. While Phyllis understands why Ashley trusted him, Nick does NOT understand Adam's motives - it makes no sense. For the fun of it? he's sick enough. While Nick fears Adam will use the Jabot deal against them, Phyllis assures he won't survive to get back at anyone (once Victor knows he tortured Ashley).

Victor talks about how forgiving he is - remember the forged diary? But he still feels Hope WOULD have been proud of Adam - and so's Victor. Now answer some questions. Victor's keeping an open mind. If he confesses, there's room for forgiveness. THIS is Adam's chance to be honest. Adam HAS been - to Phyllis, Nick and Ashley - they have no proof. Victor decides he's either innocent - or very devious. Adam knows nothing about a purple cloth - or Dr Taylor molesting his patients - but he DOES know how Victor got Jabot. Victor stands menacingly - and inches from Adam's face - warns that if he exposes the Jabot deal, he goes down too. But that fallout will be NOTHING (to the hell Victor will put him through) if Ashley's accusations are true.

Back at the club, Nick and Phyllis see reason to celebrate. Summer's with the sitter - and they got through another Sharon (and keeping secrets from one another) crisis. Surely that calls for some sex. And as Nick and Phyllis race one another to the front desk, Tucker's looking troubled at the bar. Adam approaches - what a coincidence. Is it? Yes - Adam wants the available VP position - overseas. I can leave immediately.

Visiting Victor, Kay's updates that she's been looking for a way to put a stop to Tucker - and found it. What? Victor will take him down. No - Kay had the sword above his head but couldn't drop it - unable to destroy the man who destroyed her, she walked away.

Alone and lonely at home, Vikki ponders a framed photo of Reed - then fiddles with her wedding ring. And as JT arrives at CL's, Mike moves aside to take a call from Vikki (who claims her divorce won't be amicable after all). With JT busy with Kevin, Mike can be over in 5 minutes. JT's buys telling Kevin that sure - the longer someone's missing the colder the trail gets - but we'll find her.

Near the cage, Daisy's got her cell phone in hand - perfect. Ryder reports that Jana's sick and getting wicked headaches. Poor thing, Daisy's not exactly sympathetic - she's probably faking. Or maybe her tumour grew back. Telling Ryder that Jana evaded a murder rap because of her tumour, Daisy feels she belongs behind bars. Daisy snatches Jana's clothes from Ryder - and now - to make Jana disappear.

The Newman's are stripping before they even open the front door to their suite - and manage to have almost everything off before hitting the bed. You're so beautiful, Nick removes his lips long enough to pant in his wife's face..

Vikki's worried about JT going for custody - and can't live with him much longer. Mike reminds that Sharon leased her house to both of them. Vikki asking JT to leave won't look good in court.

As JT's on the patio, calling to schedule a meeting with a divorce lawyer, Glo makes Kevin hot chocolate with marshmallows - just like when he was her little boy. Kevin's now regretting the many times he shut Jana down recently. You WILL get a chance to make it up to her, Glo assures - believe that.

And like Kevin, Jana fiddles with her wedding ring. Nearby, Ryder squirms as Daisy (in a lame British accent and wig) calls to reserve a hotel room (giving the name Jana Fisher). Ryder shakes his head - unable to believe she's going through with this. It's time Kevin face the 'truth', Daisy announces - Jana left him.

Victor wonders why the hell Kay's not blowing Tucker out of the water - remember what he's done to you. Kay WAS determined to beat Tucker - and when she found the ammo to do so - she went to him with her proof. All of a sudden, she wasn't looking at Tucker McCall - she was looking at her son. Surely Victor understands - after all Adam did to HIM. Kay couldn't crush her son today - because of a choice she made all those years ago - THAT'S what made him the man he is today. THAT she'll have to live with (as does Victor).

At the club's bar, Adam continues to campaign for the overseas position - having no ties to GC, he could leave tonight. No - Tucker has plans for him here. What plans? First - put a hold on all sales of CI company's.

Next: It's a party at the Abbott mansion. Is he stopping the sale of Jabot? Ashley asks Jack. He agreed to hear me argue the validity of the sale, Jack boasts with a smile (with Billy and Patty looking on) ... Badges are flashed at Cane (at CL's with a box of desserts). Immigration officer - you need to come with us ..Outside the front door, Ashley tells Patty that everything's on schedule, her package has arrived. You really think he'll love it? an uncertain Patty asks Ashley.

My Thoughts: If Sharon OWNS the Hellstrum cottage, why hasn't she moved back THERE? Surely, if given notice, the Hellstrum's could moce elsewhere. And why id they sign a lease - no one else seems too. If Sharon had, Ashley would have to wait before evicting her .... Poor Kevin - once again he's 'going nuts' ...I wish Jana would have thought to ask 'where am I'? Not only is it a logical question - but it'd be easier for me - if I could just type 'the abandoned zoo' - instead of assuming. Plus, it's a logical question for a captive to ask. Why's the zoo empty anyway? If it's just closed for the season, what will happen to Jana when it reopens in March? Judging by the tire swinging from a tree, Jana's traded in her chipmunk for monkeys. Are you scared? Ryder has the nerve to ask. Do bears s#!& in my cage? No really - I wanna know if I'm in the bloody bear cage. Crikey! ... If you thought Jana's accent was lame, wait til you hear Daisy's weak attempt. At least Daisy's getting her money's worth from that dark wig. First impersonating Eden - and now Jana. She IS on a budget after all. How much you wanna bet the room Daisy's booking - is at the GCAC ... Duh Jana - maybe a better approach would have been to play dumb. So, Ryder - you and Daisy are twins - big deal - I have no clue who your Mum is - should I recognize her or sumthin'? But no - she has to brag about what a smarty pants she is .... How wonderful of Chance to 'get' the police to start investigating Jana's disappearance - adding her to the missing person's database. But as it's almost been 48 hours, shouldn't they be doing that anyway? Maybe the cops would step up the search if Kevin told em that Jana's tumour's back - and recently she'd been complaining that voices in her had have been telling her to kill people - children actually...... With Kevin and Jana both fiddling with their wedding rings simultaneously, I thought for sure they were gonna magically change places or sumthin' - like all those movies where the old person goes into the young person's body, and vice versa ... Oh yeah - someone's bound to see Jana - at the mall - cause she goes there ALL the time ... Isn't Mike gonna feel silly for not checking out Ryder and Daisy's 'airtight' alibi's? .... Um - why is the blind guy buying books? They aren't even 'large print' copies. Last year he was learning Braille - and had a laptop specifically designed for the blind - NOW he has no trouble reading (books or his laptop - or specs of blood on Ashley's inner thighs) ... Um - wouldn't it make sense for someone borrowing a painting worth 'tens of millions of dollars' to have it insured? It's doubtful Tucker's US based insurance would cover it being stolen in Yugoslavia .... Oh shut up JT - stop pretending you're a single father raising your son all by yourself. Where's Reed now? Oh yeah - with the sitter .... Putting all his faith in the Internet - and flyers Jeffrey's handing out at the mall, Mike poo poo's the idea of a reward - too many bogus leads. But aren't the more leads the better? With all this man power, can't they be sifted through? It's not like Kevin has anything better to do ... Oh great - the obligatory once a month Phick sex scene - in case we forgot how hot they are (that said, they sure are convincing - the Hellstrum's - or Luckinbill's - should take note) .. Did Jana really eat the food her captives provided so thoughtfully? Was it take out from CL's? What good's a toothbrush and soap without water? Did she obediently strip down and hand Ryder her clothes? Did he peek?
