He knew they could both use time to compress, but that wasn\u2019t possible, because they had to come up with a strategy, since Victor never got back to him. Lily testily noted that Billy didn\u2019t want to work together before. He knew she was upset he offered to step down without discussing it with her. She thought that he knew how she\u2019d feel about it, so that\u2019s why he didn\u2019t talk to her about it first. He said she would\u2019ve tried to talk him out of it, and she probably would\u2019ve succeeded. The last thing he\u2019d wanted to do was show up at Victor\u2019s humiliated, but he did it to protect her and ChancComm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy thought that, once he was out of the picture, Victor might not be as obsessed with going after ChancComm. \u201cOf course he will. If he can get our assets at a bargain price, that\u2019s a huge win for them. Adam already told me that\u2019s his goal,\u201d Lily countered. She contended that he was making things worse by cutting and running. He clarified that he sacrificed himself, he didn\u2019t cut and run. Lily didn\u2019t see what more Newman Media could do. They\u2019d already gotten ChancComm\u2019s employee to release the article, ruined their reputation and gotten their source to recant, leading to the lawsuit. Billy had a sick feeling there was more to come. Lily thought that they needed to deal with the current crisis instead of focusing on what could happen. She noted that, last time, they were so focused on what might happen that he handed Victor and Adam the weapons to use against them. \u201cYou\u2019re referring to the audio and video evidence Adam gave Rey claiming that I threatened him,\u201d Billy said. Lily countered that Adam proved Billy threatened him. She loved him and she knew he was trying to protect the company, but he was so impulsive that he acted without thinking of the consequences. He thought that was why it was better for him to remove himself from the situation. She said that would make things worse because it would look like an admission of guilt. He asked what she thought they should do. She felt that they should weigh their options with their lawyers and work together as a team. She asked if he was capable of doing that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland and Victoria were in her office. She was shocked when he told her that Billy offered to step down from his co-CEO position. She didn\u2019t know what to make of it \u2013 ChancComm was so important to Billy, and she thought this was the last thing he\u2019d do. She wondered if Lily pushed him into it. Ashland highly doubted that, since Lily didn\u2019t take kindly to his suggestion that she cut Billy loose. Victoria wondered how her father and Adam reacted to Billy waving the white flag. Ashland said they were gleeful. Victoria assumed that this was it \u2013 mission accomplished. Ashland began to explain that Victor and Adam were waiting for Billy to let his guard down. Before he could finish his thought, he winced, and Victoria rushed over to check on him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland was fine. He said his doctors told him that the side effects of the treatment he received in Peru would be a little rough. He reasoned that it was a good thing he was experiencing side effects because it probably meant that the treatment was working. Victoria wanted to take Ashland home, but he assured her that he was feeling much better already. He segued to Billy having to swallow a bitter pill, and she thought he was enjoying this discussion. Ashland wasn\u2019t enjoying it as much as Victoria might think. He didn\u2019t feel bad Billy, though, because Billy tried to sabotage the wedding. Six months ago, Ashland would\u2019ve taken satisfaction into grinding Billy to dust, but now his priority was on getting healthy to have more time with Victoria. He said he\u2019d let Adam and Victor handle Billy and have fun torturing him. Victoria thought that would be a very big mistake. Ashland was caught off guard, because he thought she let go of her old urge to protect Billy. She said this wasn\u2019t about saving Billy \u2013 it was about what was best for Newman\/Locke. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At first, Victoria didn\u2019t want to get involved in the war between Victor and Billy, but now she realized it gave Adam an opening to take advantage of the situation, and he\u2019d run with it. Ashland didn\u2019t think Victoria was being fair. He pointed out that this plan had gotten him out from under a blackmail threat that had been plaguing him for decades. She was grateful for that, but she said that Ashland was the one taking all the risks \u2013 allowing the story about the fraudulent will to get out, and any leverage that Newman Media had against ChancComm was all due to Ashland\u2019s lawsuit. Ashland agreed. \u201cSo, if you were the one taking all the risks and you have all of the leverage, can somebody please tell me why \u2013 why oh why \u2013 is Adam and Newman Media benefiting the most?,\u201d Victoria asked. Victoria added that a big chunk of ChancComm consisted of a division she sold to them. Ashland and Victoria smiled. He saw where she was going with this. \u201cYou know, my father, he was never okay with me selling off this division to Billy. I have to think that he would be a little bit disappointed if he didn\u2019t try to get it back,\u201d Victoria said. Ashland called Victoria adorably brilliant. He loved the way her mind worked. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland and Victoria went to Billy and Lily\u2019s. Ashland commented on their lovely home. He thought it was a shame that they couldn\u2019t have gotten together here as a blended family. Billy asked what they wanted. Ashland said he and Victoria had wanted everyone to get along, if only for the kids, but Billy had other ideas. Lily asked Ashland to get to the point. Billy wanted to hear from Victoria, noting that he\u2019d tried to get a hold of her for awhile. She noted that she\u2019d already texted her disgust about ChancComm publishing that article. She sold him the media division, and he continually used it as a weapon against her husband. Billy stated that they were hacked, and he said Victoria knew that. \u201cYes, but you authorized writing it, didn\u2019t you?,\u201d Victoria countered. Billy surmised that Victoria was either in on the scheme from the start, or she\u2019d figured out a way to justify it \u2013 either way, it was ugly. Ashland said they heard about Billy\u2019s offer to Victor, and presumably, he though that stepping down would protect Lily and ChancComm. Ashland thought that Billy might be able to understand Ashland\u2019s desire to protect his company and the woman he loved by keeping Gaines\u2019 allegations quiet. Billy understood. Ashland asked if Billy felt regret about his reckless callous behavior. Billy asked if they were here for an apology. Ashland said they were there to make an offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy didn\u2019t think Ashland and was going to do them any favors, since he\u2019d aligned himself with the Newmans and Gaines to set them up. Ashland said he wouldn\u2019t let Billy play the victim. Ashland did what he had to do to defend himself, his wife and his company from Billy\u2019s relentless attacks. Billy noted that he\u2019d already promised not to personally attack Ashland, and he\u2019d never do anything to hurt the mother of his children. He said he used Ashland\u2019s information as leverage, information they all knew was true. \u201cYour actions forced my hand,\u201d Ashland contended. He didn\u2019t want to spend the first few weeks of his marriage dealing with this crap. Ashland said that now that the retraction was out there, the situation had reversed itself, and ChancComm was the ones who had to defend their integrity and credibility. Lily maintained that they could handle anything Ashland and his partners threw at them. Ashland didn\u2019t agree. Ashland knew Billy asked Victor to try and get Ashland to drop the lawsuit. Ashland asked if Victor and Adam could really be trusted to follow through. Billy asked if Ashland was saying he was going to turn on the Newmans. \u201cI think Ashland is trying to point out that it was a waste of time going to my father when [Ashland] is the only one that can cancel the lawsuit,\u201d Victoria clarified. Ashland said that he could prolong this onslaught of bad press against ChancComm and release the recordings of the threats. Lily wanted Ashland to get to the point. Ashland said he and Victoria preferred to come to a swift and final resolution, in contrast to Victor and Adam, who were willing to watch Billy and Lily flail in the wind while ChancComm\u2019s value plummeted. Ashland said they were here to make them and Jill a lucrative offer for all involved. They wanted to bring ChancComm into the Newman\/Locke fold, and they\u2019d be happy to keep Lily on as CEO. Lily asked about Billy. \u201cOut,\u201d Ashland said. Billy asked Victoria if she was going to go along with this plan to exploit the damage Victor and Adam did and kick him out of the company. \u201cOh Billy. Always so slow to catch on. This is all Victoria\u2019s idea,\u201d Ashland revealed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Before you complain about this offer, I want you to remember how desperately I begged you to leave us alone,\u201d Victoria said to Billy. For one moment, in Italy, when he deleted the Gaines video, she thought he was going to do the right thing, but he came after them the minute he got back. Billy disagreed. He said that he was trying to stop Victor and Adam from coming after ChancComm. Victoria countered that he did something that would hurt her and her husband. He reiterated that he never planned to release the information about Ashland. He didn\u2019t expect Victor, Adam or Ashland to believe him, but he hoped Victoria would know that he was telling the truth. Victoria wasn\u2019t willing to put that kind of power in Billy\u2019s hands, but she was open to giving Lily a chance. Lily asked why they thought she\u2019d want to work for them \u2013 she\u2019d seen firsthand that Ashland could be as ruthless as Victor and Adam. Ashland said he wouldn\u2019t be taking an active role in managing the company, since he was focused on his health. Victoria promised Lily complete autonomy. She said that, since Newman\/Locke merged they owned some companies that could potentially be folded into Lily\u2019s division. Ashland was excited to see what Lily would do with an opportunity like this. Victoria told Lily to consider what was best for Billy. Lily didn\u2019t think that pushing Billy out of a company he was passionate about was best. Victoria said that running the company into the ground wasn\u2019t in Lily or Billy\u2019s best interests, neither was standing by and watching it be taking it over by Adam, of all people. \u201cOh my God, even now you\u2019re trying to protect Billy,\u201d Lily exclaimed, which made Ashland bristle. Victoria just didn\u2019t like the idea of Adam besting either of them, especially after what he\u2019d done to their family. More importantly, she wanted a quick and peaceful resolution to the lawsuit, because it was best for the children. \u201cYou\u2019re worried about the children? Then why go along with this lawsuit in the first place, knowing that we were hacked?,\u201d Billy asked. Victoria was sure Billy and Lily needed some time to think about their decision, even though they had limited options. Ashland and Victoria left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy said Newman\/Locke and Newman Media were in a tug of war, and ChancComm was the rope. Lily wasn\u2019t sure that was a real offer. She couldn\u2019t imagine Victoria wanting to upset her dad right now, so Lily wondered if this was a trick. Lily suggested that Victoria and Ashland wanted to drive a wedge between her and Billy. She noted that they buttered her up while tearing Billy down. Billy admitted that everything Victoria and Ashland said was true. He thought they meant every word they said about Lily. He admired her, and he went to Victor and offered to step down because he believed in her. She knew his intentions were good, but she didn\u2019t think that Victor would get Ashland to withdraw the lawsuit. He asked if she was thinking of giving up. Lily said it wasn\u2019t up to them, it was up to Jill. She said he couldn\u2019t make unilateral decisions on things they should decide together. He said he could walk away from the company, but he couldn\u2019t stand it if things changed between them personally. He asked if they were okay, and she said of course. She kissed his cheek, then she went upstairs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria and Ashland returned to her office, and he asked why she was so quiet. She couldn\u2019t stop thinking about Johnny and Katie. She said they had to protect the kids from the fallout, and he assured her that they would. Victoria thought this might be a good time to send the kids to boarding school, just temporarily, until the end of the school year. She said everyone who dealt with Billy had to expect dramatic highs and devastating lows. She knew Billy would go off the rails again, and she didn\u2019t want the kids to experience it. He assumed it wouldn\u2019t be easy for her either. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria clarified that she had no intention of rushing to save Billy. \u201cWhatever Lily might think, I\u2019ve learned the hard way that there&#8217;s no upside to it, and he only resents it when I try,\u201d Victoria said. Victoria explained that the last time Billy\u2019s life was falling apart, he beat himself up about it, and the kids were scared and confused. Her instincts told her that she needed to protect them. He asked where that left Billy. Victoria was sure he\u2019d be fine in the long run, and Jill would help him, just like she always did. Ashland thought Billy was fortunate to have such a supportive mother. Ashland supported whatever Victoria decided. He said it might be an advantage to have the kids out of the house, if his condition worsened. She was thinking the same thing. Victoria thought it\u2019d be nice for the kids too, because they\u2019d gain independence. Ashland wasn\u2019t sure Billy would go along with it, since he\u2019d be unemployed soon, he\u2019d want to spend a lot of his extra free time with his kids. Victoria said she could handle Billy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy was at Society drinking alone at the bar. Lily was back at home looking pensive. She called Jill and left a message regarding ChancComm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Devon had Elena come to the house to check Dominic out. Elena said it was just a heat rash. The nanny had said the same thing, but Devon wanted a second opinion. Elena told Devon about an over the counter ointment he could use. Elena watched Devon with the baby and said she loved seeing him like this. She thought back to when they first met, and he was devastated about losing Hilary and their child. She knew they couldn\u2019t be replaced, but it seemed like a lot of healing had taken place \u2013 he had a whole life now with Amanda, Moses and Dominic. Devon agreed that he was in a better place \u2013 people told him things would get better in time, and he didn\u2019t believe it, but they were right. He was grateful to Elena who helped him through the grief. He felt terrible that Abby was going through the same thing. Elena said Abby was lucky to have Devon, and she obviously knew it since she trusted him with Dominic. He was glad he could help. Amanda came home, and Devon kissed her hello. Amanda said the jury was ready to give their verdict. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After Elena left, Amanda called Imani with the news. Imani was coming to the courthouse, but Naya didn\u2019t want to be there, which Amanda understood. Amanda was scared that Sutton would be acquitted. Devon told her to stay positive, and he said that if that did happen, Amanda would find a new way to hold Sutton accountable. Amanda appreciated that Devon always knew exactly what she needed to hear. They left the baby and nanny at home and went to the courthouse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">While Devon went home to take care of some things, Amanda and Imani went to Society. Imani had wanted Sutton to be brought to justice, and he was convicted, but she was having a hard time processing it. It didn\u2019t feel real. She grew up idolizing her grandfather, and he was the center of her world. She guessed Amanda was in the mood to celebrate, though. Amanda understood that this was hard for Imani, because she had a long complicated history with Sutton. Imani wasn\u2019t trying to bring Amanda down or tell her to be sympathetic to Sutton. Amanda said good. She stated that he\u2019d excluded her and her twin from the family and robbed her of her chance of ever knowing her father. Imani thought that once she overcame the shock, she\u2019d be just as happy as Amanda was. Imani asked what kind of sentence Amanda thought Sutton would get. Amanda didn\u2019t want to speculate, but she wondered what was next for their family. She knew she and Imani would be going into practice, but what about Naya? Imani said Naya was considering moving to Genoa City. Amanda was excited by the idea. Imani wasn\u2019t thrilled about the prospect of Naya attempting to micromanage their lives. Amanda never experienced anything like that before, so it sounded wonderful to her. Imani said to just wait until Naya started nagging her to have a baby. Imani was caught off guard when Amanda said there was a baby at her house now if Naya needed a fix. Amanda realized they had a lot to catch up on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Devon spent time with the baby at home, playing peekaboo, taking pictures for the baby\u2019s grandparents, entertaining him while on a call with the company. Eventually, Devon held the baby and closed his eyes. The baby started to cry, and Devon got up and walked with him. When Amanda came home, Devon was asleep on the couch with the baby in his arms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mariah and Elena ran into each other at Crimson Lights, and Elena detailed her visit to Devon\u2019s place. Elena thought Devon was being a little overprotective, but she saw it all the time with first time parents. She clarified that this was a figure of speech. She knew Devon would never refer to himself as Dominic\u2019s parent. Mariah didn\u2019t think anyone would blame Devon if he did \u2013 he was the biological father, and with Chance gone, Mariah was sure that Abby would be happy for Devon to step into a fatherly role. Elena asked how Mariah was. Mariah said she was finally on the road to recovery. Tessa had been so supportive. Elena asked if Mariah talked to a counselor, and Mariah said that the benefit of having a therapist mom was that you got counseling in every conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally and Chloe met at Society. Sally had the best possible news \u2013 Adam wanted to go ahead with the video project with her hosting. Chloe thought that was awesome. Sally couldn\u2019t believe this was happening, but Chloe could because it was a phenomenal idea. Chloe noted that they\u2019d have to put in a lot of overtime to get this off the ground. Chloe knew that the original plan was for Sally to focus on other designers, but now that she was so popular, Chloe thought that the first video should be about showcasing Sally. That sounded good to Sally, especially since she\u2019d given up any semblance of a personal life. She was taking Chloe\u2019s advice \u2013 she was backing off Adam as a romantic option, and she\u2019d told him as much. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chloe thought Sally was trying to use reverse psychology on Adam to get him to pursue her. Sally said she wasn\u2019t playing games \u2013 she was respecting Adam\u2019s wishes. Sally recalled Chloe\u2019s multiple warnings that she\u2019d be courting disaster if she went near Chelsea\u2019s ex, so she wasn\u2019t going to. Sally wasn\u2019t going to jeopardize this opportunity by trying to force something in her personal life that wasn\u2019t meant to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Main Days of Our Lives Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/24\/yrupdates\/\">Back to the Y&amp;R Updates Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6098\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/yranim2.gif\" alt=\"Y&amp;R cast animation\" width=\"202\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Young &amp; The Restless Update Recap written by Christine Billy went home, and he was glad to see that Lily was there, because he wasn\u2019t sure she would be.
