Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Barbara
At Crimson Lights, Chelsea is working on her laptop. Esther brings her a coffee and expresses concern that Chelsea is contagious from the flu she had over New Year’s. Chelsea assures her that she’s fine now and dismisses Esther’s question about Newman Enterprises being under attack. Esther notices something about it on Chelsea’s computer. After Esther walks away, Chelsea texts Adam to meet her there because rumors are gaining speed.
Adam comes to the Newman Ranch to let Victor know that the Newman IT team thinks it has created an algorithm to trick Cane’s AI program to attack false targets instead of Newman Enterprises, so they need to run a few more tests. Victor tells Adam there’s no time for more testing and directs Adam to give them the go-ahead.
Noah and Nick are in Sharon’s living room discussing Nick’s dogged determination to get rid of Matt for good. Seeing how much pain his father is in, Noah implores him to concentrate on his health, not Matt. Sienna comes down from the bedroom, stands on the stairs, overhears them talking and heads back to the bedroom. When Sharon comes into the living room, Noah fills her in on Nick’s plan to kill Matt. Sharon makes it clear that as much as she wants to end Matt’s reign of terror, she is not on board with him being killed. She and Noah try to get Nick to go back to the hospital, but he steadfastly refuses.
Sienna sneaks out of Sharon’s house, going straight to Victor at Newman Ranch. She asks for his help to stop Nick from killing Matt by telling him that Nick has Matt stashed in the trunk of his car. She expresses her concern about what Matt is putting Noah through because of her and tells Victor that she doesn’t want Noah or Nick dragged down any further from involvement with Matt. She also lets Victor know that she’s in love with Noah, but she doesn’t think they have a future because they belong in different places. Victor tells her he appreciates her candor and agrees that perhaps it would be best for her to return home to LA when this is all over.
Victor and Sienna go to Sharon’s place, where Victor tries to dissuade Nick from his plan to kill Matt; he insists that Nick let him take care of Matt. Sharon and Noah chime in. Nick refuses, then pauses and asks Victor what he intends to do with Matt if he hands him over. Victor says it’s better that neither Nick nor any of the others know his plans.
Adam and Victoria meet with Chelsea in Crimson Lights to strategize dealing with the press. They talk about their concern with the toll the situation is taking on their father. Adam also mentions that he is worried Newman Enterprises is sinking and there’s nothing they can do about it. Victoria insists that will not happen. The three of them agree that they must come up with a way to save the Newman family legacy and protect their Victor by destroying Cane and Phyllis.
