Next, Gloria tells a customer that a certain color doesn't flatter her - Lauren's patience is being tested, but she steers Gloria over to the shoe area.

Gloria in turn, insults the customer's foot size. Lauren shows endless patience as she leads Gloria to the jewelry section. Brad comes in looking for a gift for Colleen. "Gloria! You're like a bad penny aren't you? Turning up everywhere!" Gloria swallows a rude response and Lauren comes over to back her up. Brad excuses himself, smirking as he goes. Soon, Alistair appears and informs Gloria that he is leaving to take a role in a show. Sharon is right behind him, telling Lauren that she is there to make sure their thespian friend gets to the airport!

Sabrina tracks Victoria down in the hallway at Jabot and says that this all feels so wrong - she again asks her to come to the wedding. Victoria says all she can promise is to think about it. As Sabrina leaves, Brad approaches Victoria and informs her that he oversaw the reformulation of the Jabot Retro line without her! As Brad and Vikki go their separate ways, Paul gets off the elevator and runs smack into David. They share a polite exchange about only wanting what is best for Nikki. Heather then comes out to meet her father for lunch. As they leave, David's face changes to a worried look. Inside her office, Nikki sits at her computer and types into the search box, "David Chow + murder". As the results come up on the screen her face crumples. Victoria comes in and tells Nikki that she ran into 'the happy couple' at Fenmore's. She says she is happy for Nikki and David, but can't be happy for her dad. Nikki, who was going to confide in Victoria about David, decides not to after all. Still outside in the hall, David thinks about the bet Brad told him about earlier. He gets on the phone and makes arrangements to pawn a watch that Nikki gave him in order to place a bet!

She says she hopes Vikki comes to the wedding, but in the end he is all she needs! Over at Heather and Paul's table, Paul looks slightly confused as his daughter beams at Adam!

Nikki and David come into the room and he points out that Sabrina and Victor are across the way. Nikki lets out a deep sigh!

As Victor and Sabrina exit, Nikki loudly says, "She has no idea what's in store for her!"
J.T. meets Victoria at Jabot, and they agree that they're sick of talking about Victor and Sabrina. They have some lighthearted fun in the elevator, and Victoria notes that at least she is able to be happy for Nikki and David.
