It's the morning after as Jack and Leanne awaken with Leanne wearing his shirt from the night before. Jack asks if it was a good for her as it was for him and she responds that men have such egos. She thinks that there is a little bit of Victor Newman in all men. Jack remarks that she never remarried and he hopes that she isn't going to hand him that old line about once you've had VN, you don't want anyone else. She tells him that he shouldn't worry; he measured up just find last night. She then asks him about Diane and he tells her that that boat has sailed. He tells her that he wants his shirt back and she wants to know how badly. Badly enough, it seems, that they go back into the bedroom, closing the door behind them.

Ashley is having breakfast and working at the table when Billy comes in for his breakfast. He mentions his great friends in New York and how he really misses them. She tells him that it is time to start making new friends here in Genoa City. She begins talking about their killer soccer team. About that time, John starts into the dining room but waits until their conversation has finished. As John does come in, Billy is leaving for school. John thanks Ashley for her help, saying that she speaks Billy's language better than he or Jill. A rumpled Jack comes into the dining room, wearing his white shirt, and pours himself a cup of coffee. Ashley wonders if he has changed his perfume or does he have a woman upstairs. John tells him to share with them, but before he can answer, Cole comes in and barely speaks to the room before going for his breakfast. Rather than stay in the room with Cole, Jack takes his coffee upstairs saying that he needs a shower.

When Jack returns, smelling better according to Ashley, Cole is about to leave. Ashley says that they would like to have a celebration for the finishing of his book tonight. Would the Colonnade room be okay? Jack throws a few sarcastic zingers Cole's way before he leaves for the tack room. Afterward, Ashley begs Jack to tell him that it wasn't Diane in his room all night. Jack says it wasn't but if it were, he wouldn't have answered her; he deserves his privacy. He doesn't need her approval of the ladies he sleeps with. He then suggests that Ashley needs a night of bliss more than he did.

When she learns it was Sharon that got Mac into school, she is overjoyed and very appreciative. She sends Mac to school and when they are alone, Kay tells her all about her trip to India.

He wonders why he would come back here since he divorced his daughter. Cole says that he had a problem with his work and the tack room was where he did his best work. No problem, he assures Victor. Victor says that he hopes this is about finishing his book and not about resuming his relationship with his daughter. Cole seems insulted and coolly tells Victor to give Victoria his message.

Meanwhile at Crimson Lights, Grace is waiting for Tricia. When she arrives, Grace tells her that Tony has been staying at her father's house. Tricia doesn't believe it and makes sounds like she regrets trying to get between Tony and Megan. Grace says that she is just hiding her head in the sand; she is in a state of denial. She points out that Tony and Megan are completely different and don't belong together. Tricia accuses Grace of trying to manipulate her just because she wants Tony. Grace says that the ends justify the means. Yes, she wants Tony but doesn't Tricia want to protect her sister? Tricia says that Grace doesn't care at all about her sister. Grace tells her to think about it. She gets up and leaves. After a few moments, Tricia gets up and goes around the corner to the pay phone, completely missing the entrance of Megan and Marnie.

Marnie and Megan sit at the counter and Megan tells her about Tony staying one night at her house. She knows that Tony loves her but how will she know when the time is right to take things further? In jest, Marnie suggests getting married but Megan thinks that is a god idea. Tricia is just coming back into the room but stands back and watches.

At Walnut Grove Academy, Raul and Billy talk. Billy asks him not to tell Mac why he was at the house yesterday. Raul wonders why he doesn't want Mac to like him and Billy says that it is no big deal. Just then, Mac joins them and the first thing she wants to know is what Billy was really doing at her house yesterday. She points out that when he left, he didn't take away any of his things. Billy sees TJ and rushes off, the question unanswered. Raul wonders where Mrs. Chancellor went on her trip and Mac says that she has a feeling that she was looking for her dad. Raul is confused. What would she know about Mac's dad and how to find him? Mac tells him that Mrs. C. is her grandmother. She gives Raul some of her family history and he is amazed that she has been handling all of this alone. He tells her that any time she needs to talk to anyone, he is there for her. Mac goes on to say that she wishes that Kay really had gone in search of her father. Raul listens empathetically as she tells him how as a child she often dreamed of her father coming in and taking her in his arms. Many times she would talk to him and pretend he was there. "I'm glad you told me," Raul says. As they share a kiss, Billy looks on from the open doorway.
