Ashland stated that he had some terms, and Adam scoffed, saying that the Newmans would destroy Ashland if he didn\u2019t accept the offer. Adam revealed that he and Victor had terms. Ashland asked what Adam and Victor wanted in return. Adam said that Ashland would need to sign something relinquishing his claim to Newman Locke and get an annulment from Victoria. Ashland noted that they were asking him to get an annulment, not a divorce. Adam said that divorce only applied when the marriage was valid, which wasn\u2019t the case here, since Ashland fraudulently worked his way into Victoria\u2019s life. Once Ashland signed the paperwork, Victor and Adam would wire him the money. Ashland didn\u2019t trust the Newmans to keep up their end of the bargain. He wanted the money before he signed the agreement. Adam said the family wanted Ashland out, and they had no reason to screw him over. The Newmans knew what Ashland was capable of, and they didn\u2019t want to deal with him plotting revenge against them. Adam assured Ashland that he\u2019d be paid as soon as he signed the papers. Ashland had something to do before he could make a decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mariah and Tessa were at Crimson Lights. Chelsea was going to be designing their wedding outfits, and she\u2019d told them to check out thrift stores for inspiration. It was going to be 70s glam, but they wanted some nods to traditions. Mariah vetoed Tessa\u2019s idea of matching white jumpsuits, because matching outfits seemed more like a Halloween thing to her. They went shopping, then they went home with a lot of clothes. They\u2019d both secretly picked out some outfits for each other, and they decided to dress each other and see if they knew each other\u2019s style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mariah and Tessa had a little fashion show in a montage, and in the end, they collapsed onto the couch with their heads leaning against each other. They had fun, and they found a ton of inspiration for Chelsea to use. They chatted and both agreed Sharon would be the first person to cry at the party. Tessa was glad to have Mariah\u2019s family\u2019s help planning. Tessa said it was going to be one hell of a party. Mariah asked if Tessa had thought about the vows. Tessa was thinking about them every waking moment. Mariah felt nervous, because she didn\u2019t think she\u2019d be able to come up with vows as good as Tessa, the songwriter\u2019s. Tessa said every time Mariah spoke from the heart, it was the most beautiful thing Tessa ever heard. Mariah thought their love and the love around them would make this the most amazing day. Tessa said they didn\u2019t need a wedding to confirm their love. Mariah was still very excited to share their joy with the people they loved. They kissed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Later, Mariah and Tessa were nestled together under a blanket. Tessa asked if it bothered Mariah that they hadn\u2019t focused on the adoption recently. Mariah still wanted to move forward with the adoption and asked how Tessa felt. Tessa still wanted a child too. Mariah and Tessa were in agreement that they couldn\u2019t work on the adoption process while planning a wedding. They were worried that a social worker would think they weren\u2019t taking things seriously if they didn\u2019t seem fully focused on the adoption. Tessa thought they\u2019d look like better candidates if they delayed things for a month or two. Tessa also had some shows planned and that would make things tricky. Mariah said she\u2019d handle things while her wife was touring. Tessa said she could handle some stuff from the road too. They agreed that they were going to move forward with a family, and Tessa said this was going to be the best year of their lives. They kissed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At Society, Sally tried to chat with Lily, but got a cool response. Sally understood Lily was giving her the cold shoulder because she\u2019d donned a wig and kept an eye on Billy. She was hoping they could get past that though. Lily thought Sally\u2019s acts were better described as stalking and entrapment. Sally learned that it was better to stay on the up and up because her behavior reflected on Newman Media. She wanted to earn respect of Lily and the other moguls. Lily thought people would have a hard time taking Sally seriously while she was teamed up with Adam. Sally asked Lily what she could do wipe the slate clean. Sally figured she and Lily would be running in the same circles now that she was COO of Newman Media and Lily was running Chancellor. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m not so sure about that,\u201d Lily replied. Sally heard about the merger with Hamilton Winters, and she congratulated Lily. Sally was hoping they could get along, since they might do business together. Lily said that getting along and being friends was something that had to be earned. Lily was always willing to give someone a second chance, if they showed they deserved it. Sally accepted the challenge, and she wanted to work toward being friends. Lily told Sally to work her subtlety and left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At his place, Billy struggled to come up with suitable material for his podcast. He thought about calling Victoria, but he stopped himself and called Nick instead. Billy was worried about Victoria and was thinking about trying to get through to her one last time. Nick told Billy to stay out of it and let the family handle it. He made it clear that he had no intention of letting Ashland get away with what he\u2019d done to his Victoria. After the call ended, Billy remembered Lily encouraging him to try and contain his protective feelings toward Victoria. Billy did a podcast about the abuse of power and the collateral damage it caused. He acknowledged that he\u2019d been afforded many privileges, as an Abbott, and some would say he\u2019d abused those privileges, but he\u2019d worked hard to change. He suggested that when he saw wrongdoing, it was a like a mirror reflecting his wrongs. It made him want to fight to protect the victims of power. He got enraged when he saw someone use their power to grab more and more, when they had plenty of money, a successful career and a loving wife. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy realized he couldn\u2019t release a podcast about Victoria\u2019s situation. He shifted gears and began to record something inspired by Jack and Diane\u2019s situation. He began to talk about liars who deceived people, destroyed lives and then weaseled their way back into people\u2019s lives. It occurred to Billy that everyone would know who this podcast episode was about, too. Lily went home and told Billy she needed some wine after a run-in with Sally. She stated that Sally wanted to be her new best friend. He was glad when she assured him that she wasn\u2019t going to befriend Sally. She asked about his podcast. He said that he realized when he did the podcast, his listeners would understand the subject of his episodes. He\u2019d decided that he should do a podcast under a pseudonym. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy said that if he did the podcast anonymously, he could protect the people he loved, including her. Plus, as the COO of Chancellor, he couldn\u2019t be publicly trash-talking a bunch of people without risking a lawsuit. Lily saw the point, but she loved how personal and emotional the podcast about Delia was. He agreed. He said he could still focus on the things that moved him, and he could speak truth to power without it affecting him and the people he cared about. She called it very Bruce Wayne and Batman. He said he could use a harmonizer to change his voice. She thought it might be fun. He said he could say all sorts of things Billy Abbott couldn\u2019t, or shouldn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy played around with the harmonizer until he found an altered voice he liked. He began to record the podcast. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally went to Adam\u2019s office with tapas to eat, but he said he couldn\u2019t even think of eating right now. Ashland wouldn\u2019t commit to the deal. Adam saw something in Ashland\u2019s eyes when Adam mentioned the annulment. He said it was like that bothered Ashland more than the prospect of losing Newman Locke. Sally suggested Ashland really did have feelings for Victoria. Adam didn\u2019t know how that was possible given what he\u2019d done. Adam said the annulment wasn\u2019t the sticking point, because they got caught in a debate about the logistics of the deal. Ashland had said he had to find out one last thing before he made his decision. Adam didn\u2019t know what Ashland meant, but she thought it had something to do with Victoria. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria was at Newman Locke. She flashed back to Ashland telling her that they could take the money Adam was offering and use it to start a new life together. She remembered the time Ashland gave her the portrait hanging in the office. It was a wedding gift, and a commemoration of the merger. Nick showed up and asked if Ashland was considering taking the deal Adam offered. Nick was sure Victoria was hurting, and he wanted to check on her. She was fine, and she didn\u2019t want pity. He didn\u2019t pity her; he was worried. She was upset that her family continued to doubt her and intervene after she repeatedly said she could handle this. She said she worked really hard to convince Ashland to set up Adam, then Adam went behind her back and made Ashland an offer. It made everything harder. Nick agreed that Adam\u2019s motives were infuriating, but he said the blame for all this fell on Ashland. He said the family was grasping at straws trying to get Ashland out of their lives, and more importantly, away from Victoria. Victoria said she already had a solution, and she didn\u2019t need the family\u2019s input. Nick didn\u2019t care which plan worked as long as Ashland left. \u201cIf Ashland is actually willing to sit down with Adam and talk terms, then maybe Adam\u2019s plan is the best one we have,\u201d Nick stated. Victoria couldn\u2019t believe Nick was siding with Adam. Nick wasn\u2019t doing that \u2013 he said they all wanted Ashland to disappear. Nick was sick of everyone treating Ashland with kid gloves and trying to gently lure him into a carefully laid plan. He decided to go handle Ashland himself. She ordered him not to. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria said that if Nick got involved, it would just rile him up and not accomplish everything. Nick didn\u2019t like sitting on the sidelines. He was worried because he knew the longer it took to get Ashland out of their lives, the harder it was on Victoria. She said that if he confronted Ashland, it might just make Ashland dig in deeper. She was furious with Adam, but she said they\u2019d just have to let this play out. Nick was frustrated Victoria wouldn\u2019t let him help her through this. She said that wasn\u2019t his job. She stated that Ashland couldn\u2019t crush her, and she was stronger than they all thought. He knew how strong she was, but said this situation would be hard on anyone. He was concerned Ashland had dug himself so deep into the family that they\u2019d never get rid of him. Ashland came in and grumbled about the Newman brothers working overtime to protect their sister, when she could take care of herself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria asked Nick to leave so she could talk to Ashland. Nick griped that Ashland didn\u2019t care that he was tearing apart Victoria\u2019s relationships with her family. Ashland said Nick wouldn\u2019t have to deal with him much longer. \u201cI\u2019d better not,\u201d Nick said. He left. Victoria told Ashland that he\u2019d defused the situation with Nick. He asked if she was okay and if Nick upset her. She said it didn\u2019t matter. She wanted to know what happened with Adam. Before Ashland could accept the deal, he needed to know whether Victoria was willing to go away with him and start fresh. Victoria asked what the terms of the deal were. Ashland said he had to walk away from Newman Locke, and that was fine, but he also had to get an annulment that acknowledged their marriage was based on a fraud. She asked if he was willing to admit their love was a fraud. He said no, not if she loved him as much as he loved her. He was willing to get the annulment and cede control of the company, but he said his love for her couldn\u2019t be signed away. \u201cDo you love me?,\u201d he asked. She assured him that she did love him and that she was willing to leave all this behind for him. He sighed in relief and hugged her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy recorded the podcast. He asked if absolute power corrupted and if the powerful who\u2019d been corrupted could be redeemed. As this played in a voice-over, Ashland was shown taking the deal and Adam was shown telling Sally the news. Adam and Sally kissed. Back at Newman Locke, Victoria stared off into the distance. Ashland walked up and put his arms around her. She turned and smiled, and they hugged, but when he couldn\u2019t see her face, her smile faded. <\/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 At The Grand Phoenix, Adam told Ashland he was making the right choice accepting the offer.
