JR and Adam plot against Fusion, Krystal comes clean with Tad, Carmen advises Colby and Amanda bonds with Randi.
Carmen brings Adam his breakfast but he isn't interested in it. She lays down the new rules for his meals - healthy, non-caffeinated food - and then throws out all of his alcohol! Adam takes the alcohol out of the boxes but Carmen puts them right back in. He fires her - again! - but Carmen ignores him. She asks about Krystal. Adam yells at her and she says yelling is bad for his heart. She brings up the kids and says his drinking is hard on them; she says she saw Colby putting rum and vodka in her sodas. She says he can have one glass of wine with dinner but other than that she is cutting him off. She walks out. Carmen finds Colby staring outside and tells her to go enjoy life. Colby shuts her down. Carmen tells her how hard she had it at Colby's age - working two jobs and living in a rough neighborhood - and says if she could survive, so can Colby. Colby says she wants her family to go away. Carmen says she should count her blessings to have a family at all. To cheer her up, Carmen gives Colby a Salsa lesson. She says during the really tough times at home, dancing got her through because she could pretend to be anywhere with anyone. Carmen starts fluffing pillows. Colby hugs her in thanks and leaves the house.
In his home office, JR asks Babe about work and when she tells him Greenlee and Kendall skipped town again he hands her a large check and says she should welcome Kendall and Greens home with it! She rips up the check and says he can't replace Chandler with Fusion. JR says he wants to give her Fusion because she deserves better than Kendall and Greenlee are giving her. He keeps pressing her until she says she doesn't want Fusion. She brings up her past; JR says she doesn't need a degree to run the business. He tries to encourage her, telling her that she is as capable, if not more, than Kendall and Greenlee put together! She kisses him and leaves. Adam walks in and JR tells him that they should take over Fusion! He shows Adam the numbers, intriguing him. When JR says he is working on a plan, Adam says they don't need a plan they need action! He makes fun of JR because he wants Babe to be in charge. JR reminds Adam of their working together plan. He says Fusion could give Colby job opportunities plus, they would get to put Zach in his place finally! "Revenge does have a certain appeal," Adam says. JR makes plans and tells Adam they just have to make it seem as if the take-over was inevitable. He says they can't let Babe in on the plot and together he and Adam decide to strike fast - directly at Kendall and Greenlee!
Randi arrives at Fusion and immediately feels out of place because she didn't dress as sexy as Amanda did. Amanda tells her to relax and brings up Carmen. Randi won't answer. They talk fashion and Amanda gives her a few tips and shows Randi to her desk. The 12-line phone system makes her nervous so Amanda shows her around the office. Randi asks about Kendall and Greenlee; Amanda says they are brilliant but they can be difficult to deal with because of their dysfunctional relationship. They talk about their pasts but Randi won't open up; Amanda tells her about Janet. Randi still won't open up so Amanda says she saw Randi the night she was arrested for being a hooker because of Babe's scheme. Randi gets angry. Amanda stops her, says she hired Randi because she believes in her - not because she feels sorry for her or because it was a joke. Randi decides to take the job and signs the contract. Amanda promises not to tell anyone her secret and encourages her not to give up. Amanda brings up the phone system again and teases Randi about putting Frankie on speed dial. She says Frankie is just a friend. Amanda doesn't believe her and says they should double-date, if she could get Jake to notice her. Babe walks in and asks what is going on. They convince her that nothing is happening. In the office, Babe looks at the cover story of Kendall and Greenlee and settles back in Kendall's chair. Amanda asks what she's planning.
At home, Tad asks Krystal, who is cleaning like a mad woman, to tell him what is bothering her. He gets really nervous when she struggles with telling him. She finally tells him about kissing Adam soon after Babe was kidnapped by Richie. Tad is angry, mostly because he isn't sure that Krystal is really ready to let Adam go. She says she is done with Adam - for good this time! "I stand with you," she says. "Do you want me?" Quietly, Tad says he understands her feelings for Adam because he isn't a completely evil man. Krystal says she doesn't like the person she is with Adam and tells him about Colby's drinking. Tad gets upset on Colby's behalf. She admits how worried she is. Krystal thanks him for not treating her like a trophy he won from Adam and swears she'll make him feel just as good about himself. Tad picks up Jenny as they make promises to stick together. Kathy comes downstairs as they kiss. She frowns.
Jack meets Erica at the Yacht Club and asks how Samuel is doing! She says there is nothing between them but Jack brings up her past, especially the way she likes to play men against one another. She gets angry and Jack says he is just as guilty as she. He says she doesn't need to play games and he isn't going to play games any longer. She can't believe he is giving up on their relationship. Jack says their relationship was over a long time ago. She believes he has met someone new! Carmen calls Jack, who asks if she is free to talk!

Carmen seemed to get through to Colby when no one else has. Jackson and Carmen? MAYBE! 
As Jackson told Erica...they've tried it so many times before, and it's still not working! hehehe I loved the look on Erica's face! Whether it turns out to be Carmen or not, I'd love to see Jackson find someone besides Erica to love. I love the Erica character. But, through the years she's really done Jackson dirty, and his character deserves better. I love that TPTB is keeping Carmen's character in the s/l. 'Sh-t will hit the fan' when Erica see's Jackson and Carmen together! OOOOOHHHHHH! I can't wait for that epi'!
