Today's The Young and the Restless begins one night after yesterday's episode, during which Gloria (Judith Chapman) pretended to get drunk but ended up getting totally wasted.  This morning, Gloria wakes up in Jeffrey's bed in a panic, realizing what happened last night.  Jeffrey, however, is in a good mood and whistles a jaunty tune.  Michael (Christian LeBlanc), Lauren (Tracey Bregman) and Kevin (Greg Rikaart) are at the coffeehouse, worrying about her.

Sharon (Sharon Case) and Jack (Peter Bergman) are having breakfast at the GCAC.  Jack says that he wants to start a foundation in his father's name to give people the opportunity to start anew, both in terms of education and business.  Sharon is pleased and thinks it's a wonderful idea, and Jack wants her to run it.  I'm seeing right through this, though, because he probably just wants to tie up the money so Gloria won't get it and tie up Sharon's free time so she won't spend it with Brad (Don Diamont).  Sharon is still committed to the Beauty of Nature promo tour that she will be doing with Brad, which doesn't please Jack.

Nick (Joshua Morrow) comes by the GCAC to say hi to Sharon and Jack after dropping Phyllis off at the airport.  (Phyllis is checking out some spas for NVP.)  Sharon leaves, giving Jack the opportunity to tell Nick about his foundation idea.  Nick sees through Jack as well, because he knows that Jack just wants Sharon to spend less time at Newman and thus less time with Brad.

Kevin and Colleen (Tammin Sursok) are putting up "Free Jana" signs at the coffeehouse.  He wants to take his campaign to the streets.  Heather (Vail Bloom) pays a visit to Jana (Emily O'Brien) in prison to discuss the state's case against her.

Gloria is totally hungover, but she's dressed and sitting down to breakfast with Jeffrey in his room.  She doesn't remember much of last night.  She's worried that she might have given it up to him last night, but he assures her that she slept soundly through the night.  He tells her that he's not hungover at all because he kept switching their drinks, giving her the triple-strength mojitos instead.  Gloria realizes she was beat at her own game.

Sharon goes to Newman and asks Brad curtly about their trip itinerary.  Brad keeps trying, though.

Nick gives Jack advice on how to deal with the Brad situation, and the conversation shifts to Victor.

Jeffrey wants to discuss wedding plans with Gloria.  He wants to have it on Valentine's Day, but Gloria just sneers that she'll be busy then.  She puts on her big sunglasses.  She goes downstairs and runs into Jack.  They exchange barbs.

Jana desperately wants to know if Heather believed her story, but Heather just says that she'll be in touch.

Michael and Lauren come home to find Gloria home.  She says that Valentine's Day is going to be her weddin' day.  Michael resolves to have a sit-down with his future father-in-law.

Paul (Doug Davidson) and Maggie (Tammy Lauren) invite Heather to have breakfast with them at the GCAC.  Things are actually convivial between them, but just then April (Heather's mom, Paul's ex) walks by.  Everyone is shocked to see her.

Brad and Sharon go over the details of their tour.  Sharon looks really uncomfortable talking to him, and then Jack walks in.  This might be one of the more boring love triangles on The Young and the Restless.  Sharon asks Jack to come with her on the tour, but he can't make her first stop which is scheduled for tonight in Chicago.  But he thinks he can go with her to New York or Miami or both.  Brad is not pleased.

Gloria goes to the coffeehouse and talks Kevin.  He makes a joke that the wrong Bardwell brother kicked the bucket, which gives Gloria an idea.  Uh oh.  Gloria has problems with follow-through, so I'm afraid to see how this idea is going to turn out.  Meanwhile, Michael pays a visit to Jeffrey.

Here's Gloria's plan: she wants to make it look like Jeffrey is trying to kill her.  Kevin points out that he would never try to kill her before they are married.

Michael confronts Jeffrey about blackmailing Gloria, and he readily admits it.

Nick goes upstairs to work through his daddy issues with Victoria (Amelia Heinle).  She's still unconscious, though.

Kevin and Gloria plan their scheme.  She realizes that there is no way to avoid marrying him, so she decides to push up with wedding date.

Jeffrey threatens that he can take Michael down as an accessory to murder.  He even gleefully asks him to be his best man.

April says that Heather has not been returning her messages, and Heather says that she hasn't had time to even check her messages.  She's upset that April has come and runs off, Maggie following suit.  April tells Paul that he should never have told her the truth.

Jack and Sharon are excited to go to Miami.  They kiss as Brad walks by.  Brad immediately gets on the phone and plans to go to Chicago tonight.

Next on The Young and the Restless: Gloria plans to get married tonight, David has no money, there's a change with baby Reed.
