She felt good but still needed to recover after her ordeal. Olivia still hoped for a future with Neil. Victor offered to drop the lawsuit against Jabot and only go after Brad, if Ashley dropped Brad like a dead fly. Ashley refused the deal, since Brad had risked a lot of money to bail Jabot out. Both Victoria and Nikki thought Diane had an agenda with her pregnancy. Victoria turned to Ryan for comfort after she had a vision about Gary.
