He said it was the least he could do after Michael spent time in that Peruvian prison. Lauren said all the wine in the world wouldn\u2019t erase the fact that Michael\u2019s life had been in danger, and Victor was dishonest with her. Victor appreciated Michael\u2019s continued loyalty. Lauren made it clear that Michael was quitting. Michael said Ashland had him locked up, not Victor. Michael was personally involved in this fight, and he wasn\u2019t walking away. Lauren was concerned because Michael just said Ashland was still a threat. Victor promised his protection, and Lauren countered that he didn\u2019t keep Michael safe before. Michael said it wasn\u2019t the worst prison he\u2019d ever been in. Lauren didn\u2019t think that was funny. Victor said Michael\u2019s next assignment would be local. Victor wanted Michael to look at the Newman Locke merger contract and find a loophole they could use to get Ashland out of the company. Michael asked where things stood with Victoria and Ashland. Victor said Victoria knew everything, and she had a plan that she wouldn\u2019t disclose. Sadly, Victoria was still in love with Ashland, so Victor wasn\u2019t going to leave this in her hands. Victor said Ashland needed to be dealt with swiftly and severely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After Victor left, Michael kept ordering wine, and Lauren asked if he was trying to get her drunk. The thought had crossed her mind. She said she wasn\u2019t going to change her mind about him working for Victor. He tried to charm her into being okay with it. She said he had no idea how hard it was for her, not knowing he was okay. She informed him that he\u2019d be spending the rest of his life making it up to her. He agreed. He said he was fine and safe. She wanted him to stay that way. She reminded him he retired because he wanted to spend more time with her. He said he\u2019d be so attentive that she\u2019d be begging him for a restraining order. He felt he had to see this case through, for himself, not Victor. He was adamant that Ashland needed to be held accountable for keeping him and Lauren apart and making her worry. When Michael was locked up, he thought of three things \u2013 coming home to his gorgeous wife, celebrating with his family, and making sure Ashland reaped what he\u2019d sown. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At Crimson Lights, Billy swore Lily to secrecy, then he told her everything Victoria confided in him about Ashland faking his illness. Lily was appalled Ashland pretended to have cancer. She saw it as an insult to cancer sufferers and their loved ones. Billy said that Victoria and Ashland\u2019s conversation ended in hugs and kisses. Nikki and Nick came in, and Billy asked if they\u2019d heard from Victoria. Lily shared that Billy filled her in. Nikki knew that Lily understood. Lily said she wouldn\u2019t say a word, though she had choice ones for Locke. Billy didn\u2019t want to butt in, he was just hoping Victoria ended things with Ashland. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick and Nikki said Victoria was being tight-lipped. Nikki thought Victoria needed time to come to terms with who Ashland really was. Nick said they had to get Ashland out of Victoria&#8217;s life immediately. Billy agreed and added that Victoria might not be thinking logically. Lily noted that Victoria made tough decisions every day. Nikki agreed and said this was in Victoria\u2019s hands. Nikki had to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick asked what Billy\u2019s thoughts were. Billy had legal thoughts, and illegal ones. Nick said no one in the family had been able to get Victoria to see reason, so against his better judgment, he was turning to Billy. Nick thought Billy was the best one to try and get through to Victoria. Billy said Victor would love Billy saving the day. Nick said Billy could gloat all he wanted once Victoria was safe. If Billy did this, Nick would never forget it. Billy didn\u2019t think he was the right guy for this. He\u2019d talked to Victoria about Ashland, when Nick was there, and she\u2019d walked away. Nick thought that the fact that Victoria confided in Billy earlier, when they were alone, was significant. She hadn\u2019t opened up to anyone else in the family about her anger. Lily thought Nikki was right when she said Victoria should take the lead. Nick said time was of the essence, and he thought Billy was their best shot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Lily and Billy were alone. He could see she didn\u2019t like the idea of him getting involved. She didn\u2019t want him making an enemy of Ashland. \u201cHe\u2019s despised me for a long time, and I\u2019m still standing,\u201d Billy replied. He promised Lily that she\u2019d be safe. He said that Ashland was more dangerous than they thought, and he didn\u2019t want Ashland near Johnny and Katie. Billy was going to talk to Victoria one more time. Lily grudgingly agreed. He promised he\u2019d fix this. He thanked her and said he loved her, then they kissed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria and Ashland were in her office. She had some loose ends to tie up at the office, and she asked him to go home and pack their bags and grab something from Society for the flight. He had a feeling she was trying to get rid of him, but she said she just had everything under control. He was hoping to hear her say she loved him and that they were okay. She said they were fantastic, but they might not be if they didn\u2019t get on the jet. He didn\u2019t think her response was the most enthusiastic. She wanted to make a pact to believe each other, and he accepted. He couldn\u2019t wait to get her to Italy, all to himself. \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll just never come back,\u201d he said. He went into the hall and closed the door, and he let out a big exhale. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally went to Adam\u2019s office and told him to tell her what the fire was, and they\u2019d figure it out together. She asked what the latest was on Victoria and the big bad wolf. Adam didn\u2019t know, since he\u2019d been out of the loop since Victoria\u2019s ill-fated intervention. He said his family only wanted him around when he was useful, and when they didn\u2019t need him anymore, he was out in the cold. Sally suggested there was nothing new to report. Adam was naturally suspicious of the Newmans, especially his dad. He said she\u2019d pick up on the subtleties as she spent more time with them. She replied that there was nothing subtle about Adam and Victor\u2019s dynamic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally shifted gears and brought up Newman Locke. Adam said Newman Locke would face consequences from what Ashland did, especially if Victoria stood by him. He thought there would definitely be a change at the top. Sally said it could be Adam. He said she\u2019d be right there with him. She said that if they were going to pull this off, they had to be proactive. He decided to reach out to his father, to find out what was going on, then he\u2019d make a plan of his own. Victor showed up and wanted a moment alone with Adam. Adam said he\u2019d already told Sally everything. Victor said this was about family, not business, but Adam said it was about both. Victor relented and let Sally stay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victor said Victoria claimed she had a plan, but she wouldn\u2019t share what it was. \u201cYou don\u2019t believe her, do you?,\u201d Adam asked. \u201cI mean, I didn\u2019t realize that Billy was pretending to be a lush, and she wanted me fired, now she\u2019s gonna put the whole future of the company at risk,\u201d Adam said. He asked if they were supposed to sit by and let Victoria bury them deeper. Victor said the company was as important to Victoria as it was to the rest of them. Adam thought Victoria was going to try to protect her public image, and maybe even her marriage. Adam asked if Victor could really trust Victoria to do what was right for Newman. Victor wished Adam would stop vilifying his sister, who was the victim in all this. Adam said Victoria ignored the warning signs and made Ashland co-CEO. Victoria called Victor and asked him to come to her office and bring Adam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria gathered her parents and brothers at her office. She said she and Ashland were leaving for Tuscany. Victor wanted to know Victoria\u2019s plan, since the fate of the company depended on it. Victoria didn\u2019t want to say. Nikki had the utmost respect for Victoria, but this plan was ill advised. Victoria asked Nikki to trust her. Victoria said that while Victoria was gallivanting around Tuscany, he was appointing Adam the temporary CEO of Newman Enterprises. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t need a replacement,\u201d Victoria said. She apologized for the misunderstanding and clarified that she could handle running things from Italy. Victor said there was no misunderstanding \u2013 he wanted Adam running things while Victoria was gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nate was shocked to run into Ashland at Society. he thought Ashland would\u2019ve left town. Ashland said he\u2019d been dealing with baseless rumors his entire life. \u201cFor God\u2019s sake, give it up,\u201d Nate replied. Ashland said there was nothing he could say or do to convince Nate of the truth. Nate had seen the evidence. Ashland was sorry he\u2019d lost Nate\u2019s trust and friendship. As someone who\u2019d once considered Ashland a friend and defended him, Nate had advice. He told Ashland to stop lying and tell Victoria the truth and to do the right thing for once in his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Who the hell are you,\u201d Jack demanded of \u201cTaylor.\u201d He, Taylor and Allie were at Keemo\u2019s old house in LA. \u201cYou know me, Jack. You know exactly who I am,\u201d \u201cTaylor\u201d replied. Jack turned to Allie and asked if she was part of this. Allie had no idea what was going on. She asked Taylor if she knew Jack and if that was why she bought the house. \u201cHer name isn\u2019t Taylor. Her name is Diane Jenkins. And she shouldn\u2019t be here. That woman died. That woman was buried, and believe it or not, she was mourned,\u201d Jack replied. Diane was happy to see Jack again. She\u2019d imagined this moment for a very long time. Allie wanted Jack to explain what he meant when he said Diane was dead. Diane stated that that a huge part of her died in Genoa City \u2013 she was lost and desperate, and so much hate and anger was directed toward her. Jack sarcastically said that Diane had been an innocent bystander. Diane admitted that she caused the trouble in her life. She\u2019d had a vision of escaping and starting over, but it didn\u2019t go as planned. Jack snarled that Diane left nothing but destruction, anger and upset, and she only thought about herself. Diane said she thought so much about Jack and Kyle. Allie was distraught about having been dragged into all this. Jack told Allie to forget she ever met Diane, a vengeful and vicious woman. \u201cHer fight is with me!,\u201d he yelled. Diane didn\u2019t bring Jack here for a fight. She wanted to apologize. Allie confronted Diane about lying to her, coming into Keemo\u2019s house with a fake name, acting like a guardian angel. \u201cMy father died, and you waited to exploit him and me,\u201d Allie cried. Jack said everything Diane did was for Diane\u2019s benefit. He said there was no forgiveness and no understanding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane admitted she made mistakes, but she said she\u2019d changed. Jack yelled that everything Diane did she did on purpose. At least when Diane was dead, he knew she couldn\u2019t hurt anyone ever again. He said now she was dragging his granddaughter into this. Diane explained that she reached out to Allie for Jack and gave him back a piece of Keemo. Allie was disgusted Diane handed her over like some kind of prize. Diane saw it as a gift to Allie and to Jack. Allie thought Diane was evil, and she didn\u2019t want to be involved in this. She was going to leave. Diane didn\u2019t want Allie to take this out on Jack. Allie looked back at Jack, then she left. Jack called Diane poison, and he left too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Allie and Jack went back to the outdoor cafe. He thanked her for agreeing to meet him. She swore she had no idea who Diane was, or what she wanted. Taylor \u2013 Diane had just seemed like this kind woman who bought Keemo\u2019s house. Allie never thought of herself as dumb, or naive. Jack didn\u2019t want Allie to let this shake her self confidence \u2013 Diane had conned people older and supposedly wiser than Allie. Allie asked what Jack meant when he said he thought Diane was dead. Jack said there was a memorial service, with her young son grieving in the front pew. People who knew the truth about Diane had tried to find something kind to say for her son\u2019s sake. Allie thought that it was awful for Diane to turn her back on her own son and walk away. She asked how Jack knew Diane. \u201cThe child she walked away from was our son,\u201d Jack revealed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Allie was stunned Diane was Jack\u2019s wife. Jack clarified that he and Diane were never married. He said the situation was complicated, but he considered Kyle one of the greatest gifts of his life. It had been hard on Jack to see Kyle grieving and struggling. Allie asked when this happened. Jack said Kyle was a child at the time, and now he was a man with a wife and son. Jack said a wound like that never went away, though. Allie understood. She digested the fact that Kyle spent all these years thinking his mother was dead. Jack said Kyle thought his mother had been the victim of a gruesome murder. Jack said all Diane\u2019s lies had been exposed after her \u201cdeath,\u201d and people Kyle cared about were implicated, and it was all a lie. Jack continually told Kyle that Diane loved him more than anything. Jack wondered what kind of mother let her child suffer like that. Jack was so sorry Allie got dragged into all this. Allie didn\u2019t understand what Diane thought would happen. She said Diane pretended to die and abandoned her son. Allie wondered why Diane decided to come back now. Jack guessed Diane thought she could manipulate her way into forgiveness. Jack was sure that no one in Genoa City would ever forgive or forget what happened. Jack told Allie that getting to know her was a blessing, and he didn\u2019t want anything to get in the way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Back at the house, Diane looked upset. She texted Jack and asked him to come back, because there was more to say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack received the text and told Allie about it. She asked what he was going to do. He wanted to ignore the text and pretend Diane didn\u2019t exist, but he guessed it was too late for that. <\/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\/2021\/12\/30\/daytime-soap-updates\/\">Back to the Main Daytime 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 Victor treated Lauren and Michael to lunch at Society.
