Jill and her lawyer are sticking to their demands of $2700 per week for temporary support which Jihn is adamantly refusing. Meanwhile, Jack is trying to convince Jill to cut her expenses a little to appease John (and to keep him from bringing the pictures into light). Jack has arranged for a photo shoot involving Nikki in Rio, where he will be, of course. Nikki asked Victor's permission and he gave it (though I don't doubt very reluctantly). Lauren defied Shawn when he demanded that she convince Paul that she doesn't love him anymore so that she can leave him for Shawn. This prompted Shawn to show Lauren he means business by staging a gunshot that Lauren believes was aimed at Paul. Now she is going along with the promise from Shawn that if she cooperates, Paul will not be harmed. Meanwhile, Lauren is trying to communicate with Tamara, who is in a coma, in the hope that she can help her figure out a way to defeat Shawn. At Shawn and Lauren's insistence, Danny is trying to rehearse with Lauren for an upcoming concert and after a pep talk from Shawn, looks like he is making some progress with his voice. Ashley continues to avoid Victor and to go out with Matt. A new twist is that Katherine Chancellor is playing matchmaker between Ashley and her son, Brock Reynolds, whom Ashley knows from her childhood. They are hitting it off well. (If you remember, Brock convinced Ashley to visit Brent Davis just before he died, for which she is very grateful. ed) Meanwhile, Victor discovered that it was originally Nikki's idea to push Matt and Ashley together, but Matt told him that that was then but now he is genuinely interested in her. Big surprise: Brock and Ashley had lunch and ran into Matt at Gina's. Seems that Brock (who has travelled all over the world with the hunger movement as a missionary) thinks he has seen Matt before in a place other than Genoa City. Matt, it appears, flew as a smuggling pilot (or some such) in a couple of the same places!
