Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Barbara
At Crimson Lights, Sharon and Noah discuss their worries about not hearing from Nick (since he called Sharon right after he and Adam checked into the hotel in Las Vegas) when Nikki enters. Sharon and Noah fill Nikki in on Adam having made contact with Riza and Riza’s possible connection to Matt, which could help Nick find Matt.
Noah presents Nikki with a gift he had flown in from his club in London – a unique, special album by Billie Holiday, her absolute favorite singer. Nikki chokes up and expresses her appreciation for him thinking about her, given everything that’s happening in their family. She confirms to Noah that she moved out of the ranch but says she only took an overnight bag because she and Victor needed a little break from each other. She changes the subject to inquire about Faith, and Sharon proudly replies that Faith is doing great, happily settling in at school and just landed a summer internship at a prestigious investment firm in New York City.
Sienna drops by to “borrow” Noah, so they go to the patio, where she shows him a text she got from Matt fifteen minutes ago. She is freaked out that Matt got her new phone number and is texting her now. Noah tells her not to let it get to her because Matt is a coward, so he’s just messing with her head. He mentions that his dad and uncle made a connection with Riza in Las Vegas, based on the information Sienna gave them. She wonders if Matt expected her to make the association with Vegas, and got Nick out of town, so she and Noah would be left in Genoa City more vulnerable for an attack.
Victoria returns to Newman ranch from Milan and informs Victor that Summer does not want to confront Phyllis about stealing Newman Enterprises. However, sh wrote a scathing letter to Phyllis, instead, and gave it to Victoria to give to her. Victor doubts it will faze Phyllis. Victoria agrees, but she says that they need to come at Phyllis from every angle, even in the form of a letter, since no one else has had any luck getting through to her. Victor lets Victoria know that he has managed to get Chancellor Industries back from Phyllis. He also tells her that he is not giving that company back to Nikki because she moved out of the ranch over Victor using Jack as leverage to get Chancellor back.
Devon and Nate give Lily a warm welcome back when she comes to see them at the Chancellor mansion. However, things turn sour when Lily slowly admits that she and the twins were not kidnapped by Victor against their will, nor were they in any danger, and that it was part of a deal and ruse to force Cane to return Newman Enterprises to Victor. Devon and Nate are incredulous and furious with her for not confiding in them, although Nate agrees with Lily’s explanation that she didn’t tell him or Devon about the fake kidnapping. He knows that Cane would have pried the truth out of them if he picked up on them having had knowledge of it. Lily tells Devon and Nate that Victor promised to give Chancellor back to her and Devon as part of the deal, but they are distrustful. Devon is livid and tells Lily that they don’t need Chancellor, that Victor will continue to always have expectations from both of them, and that she should disalign herself from Victor.
Victoria has Nikki meet up with her at the GCAC dining room, asking to hear Nikki’s side of the disagreement between her parents. Nikki confirms that she took Jack’s side regarding Victor having Jack trapped on a yacht with someone and tells Victoria that it caused Diane to leave him and move out of the Abbott house. Victoria says that she does not agree with Victor’s methods, but it partially paid off because Phyllis returned Chancellor to the Newman family and that whatever triggered Diane to leave would be on Jack and whoever he was with, not Daddy/Victor at all.
Cane sits at the bar in Society, drinking, and watching the video he sent to Lily declaring his love for her while he was under the erroneous impression that Victor kidnapped her and their children. Victor comes in and approaches Cane, who lashes out about what Victor put him through. Victor rubs it in Cane’s face that Lily was more than willing to help him put Cane through hell, after all the hell Cane put her and their children through. He tells Cane to go back to the South of France, Cane threatens to bring more chaos and walks out, leaving Victor commenting to himself about doing more to make Cane’s life hell.
