What chronologically aged ten-year-old can understand what it means when daddy sends him packing and bellows that his name is again reduced to Adam Wilson? Why shouldn't he expect to go back to running daddy's company only to learn he's been terminated and then whine that he can't understand; he was doing such a great job. Now look, Adam is without a job. What ever will he do now? Go straight to daddy's nemesis and offer to engage is some act of revenge? Tell Jack that he wants to stick it to Victor, but has no idea how, and was hoping Jack might have some ideas?

And lo, it was said that Jack doesn't work with rookies. Really? Is Noah around? Let's go to the videotape.

Sharon, rookie. Nick and Phyllis Newman, rookies. Amber Moore, rookie. Daniel Romalotti, rookie. We'd list other rookies on the staff except there is no staff. Useless Style Magazine is a figment of someone's imagination. It is a fantasy Jack so desperately wants to control. It is Nick's "baby" and he can't fathom seeing someone picking up an issue from the newsstand knowing the magazine is no longer his, but how, how will he get the money Jack is demanding for control of it?

From his damn fortunate to have one trust fund? Sorry, can't tap into that again for five years. Why five years? Because Nick is only twenty-eight? Under thirty? Trust funds aren't released in full at age twenty-one? No, because Nick pulled that number out of his ass. Can he get the money from that bastard, "selfish" father of his, who has once again thrown up barriers, yet continues allowing him to live on the Ponderosa rent-free? Are those sirens? Won't they wake up precious babies Summer Newman and Reed Hellstrom? Is that Mama Newman throwing a chair through a window? Someone call Security!

Oh, there is no security. The place was ripe for a Lindbergh kidnapping until Victor hired a goon to keep the rift-raft out. From the outset that wasn't working well because free to roam at will Michael Baldwin got to approve Adam's return who only got thrown out again. No wonder Jack said at first he won't work with him. Anyone who says he no job, no place to go, then threatens to leave adding that daddy will never see him again isn't very bright. However, I must say Adam hit the nail on the head when he said today that Genoa City is a "cow town". The head cow being none other than his step-mother who was singing a different tune today when daughter Victoria accepted the job at NE.

What joy there was. Nikki hacked that perhaps Victor does have something resembling a heart after all, and Victoria, after puking that brother Nick might feel she was taking something away from him, after receiving Nick's blessing and accepting the job that mother said Neil is so "desperate" to have her fill, said it's true: Daddy really does love her. The joy was further enhanced when hunkmonkey J.T. Hellstrom returned home to learn that with the cow moving elsewhere to chew her cud, he and the battle axe can have sex again.

Please do not scream. The same old story, rehashed a million times. Can't get what they want, spoiled children throw fits. Get what they want, spoiled children become orgasmic. Nearly the same with Nick, he was worried until the "miracle" arrived and it wasn't a baby. It couldn't ... it is! Lookie there! Just what Nick needs. But what is daddy's ulterior motive? Nick wants his magazine back, but not if it means he can't say he did it on his own. He needs to prove himself as man, a father, and husband. Then again, maybe not. There is, after all, the foretelling of Jack needing a reason to hookup with the evil Bardwells. There is Jack knowing that Adam is shacking up in Heather Stevens' hotel room and there he is at the door, the guy who doesn't work with rookies, asking if the rookie would like to work with him to take Victor down. The rookie says Victor's not worth it, but he is, and Adam's all hot to trot. He may even help Jack find a way to have Victor declared incompetent so that he can freeze the account which Nick can now drawn unlimited funds on.

Ah, when you're in Genoa City, life is so hard.
