He asked how she pulled this off and why she was back. Victor said Diane claimed she wanted to reunite with Kyle, but he didn\u2019t know her true motives. Sally walked in and wanted to know what was going on. Adam told her that Kyle\u2019s mother was actually alive. Sally asked if this was this Jack\u2019s ex wife. Adam said it never got that far, but Diane married Victor, and she dated Nick. Victor put a stop to the history lesson. He said Diane was dangerous, and he told Adam to stay away from her, lest she try and use their connection to wrangle something out of him. Sally was curious about Adam and Diane\u2019s connection. He said they didn\u2019t really have one. Adam assured his father he had no interest in Diane. He shifted gears and asked about Victor and Victoria\u2019s conversation. Victor said Victoria wasn\u2019t very fond of Adam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Adam didn\u2019t know why Victoria saw him as a threat. Victor said that Adam bore some responsibility for that. Victor acknowledged that Adam\u2019s brilliant idea to pay Ashland bought them some time, but Adam went behind Victoria\u2019s back to do it. Sally said that if Adam had consulted to Victoria, she would\u2019ve shot down his idea. Victor thought that was probably true. Adam thought the important thing was that they all worked together to neutralize Ashland. Victor said he encouraged Victoria to make Adam co-CEO, but she said she\u2019d rather resign. Adam and Sally shared a look. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally suggested calling Victoria\u2019s bluff. Sally found it hard to believe Victoria would give up on her dream job just because she had to share it with her smart capable brother. \u201cHave you met my sister?,\u201d Adam replied. Victor said the last thing they needed was a public conflict over control of the company. Adam asked if that meant there was no chance for him to advance and if all the ideas he had for the company were just going to die. Victor said Adam had to show Victoria that he was loyal to her and convince her that he had good ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After Victor left, Adam admitted he\u2019d been kind of thrown by the Diane thing. Sally noted that, like Diane, Adam also used to be dead. Adam said there were quite a few similarities between Diane and the man he used to be. Sally was eager to hear more, but Adam said they\u2019d talk about it another time. He wanted to talk about Victoria. He\u2019d miscalculated; he thought Victor was going to be ready to throw Victoria in the penalty box for the mess she created with Ashland. Sally thought it made sense that Victor was protective of Victoria, considering he almost lost her in the car accident. Sally said the bright side was that Victor had Adam\u2019s back and was championing him to Victoria. She said he just had to win Victoria over. He said Victoria was stubborn \u2013 it was a Newman trait. She said he was charming and persuasive, so those must be Newman traits too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At The Grand Phoenix, Billy assumed Ashland was staying at the hotel because Victoria threw him out. Ashland sarcastically praised Billy\u2019s power of deduction. Billy asked why Ashland was still in town. Ashland had his reasons, which were none of Billy\u2019s business. Billy told Ashland to stay the hell away from Victoria. Ashland said it was abundantly clear that Billy was still in love with Victoria. Ashland wondered if Lily had noticed and if she resented the fact that Billy kept barging in to protect his ex. Billy said he and Lily were fine, and he wasn\u2019t worried about Victoria\u2019s ability to deal with Ashland. Billy warned Ashland that he was playing with fire. Ashland stated that Victoria was not nearly as angry with him as Billy thought. Billy asked what about Victor \u2013 the one who stood there and watched Ashland gasp for air as he was having a heart attack, and that was before Ashland admitted to tricking Victoria. Billy said Ashland was on the top of Victor\u2019s hit list, and that was not a fun place to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Billy went home and recorded his anonymous podcast about a run in he had today with a greedy, manipulative business mogul. Billy said it was like this guy didn\u2019t trust his own business acumen, so he had to lie and deceive to get the upper hand. This person might get away with what they did. Billy said that if wealth and power gave a person blanket immunity, it was an indictment on them all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At the Abbott house, Jack saw Diane\u2019s voicemail but didn\u2019t listen to it. Kyle came downstairs and said Harrison was playing with his new BFF Traci. Kyle appreciated Jack and Phyllis spending time with Harrison while Kyle was getting his bearings. Jack said it was their pleasure. Kyle wasn\u2019t sure what to do about his mom. Jack stated that Diane took years to contemplate things before she sprung all this on Kyle, so Kyle should take all the time he needed. Jack offered to be a sounding board. Kyle wanted to take Jack up on that in the future, but he\u2019d already spent a lot of time talking to Traci and Mariah today. Kyle had a lot of questions, and there was only one person who could answer them. Jack offered to go with Kyle, but Kyle thought Diane would be more forthcoming if they talked one on one. Jack agreed, and Kyle left. Ashland called Jack and asked if they could meet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kyle went to Diane\u2019s suite. He saw she was packing up. She said she was leaving to give him space, unless he had a change of heart. He was just there to get some answers. He asked how he could know she really changed. Diane didn\u2019t expect Kyle to trust or believe her. She said she deceived him when he was growing up, because she wanted him to see the kind and loving version of herself. He said it worked, because he\u2019d thought she was the best mom ever. She\u2019d been so angry with Phyllis when he read that expose she wrote about Diane\u2019s exploits. Kyle had never been able to reconcile what he read with the version of Diane that he knew. He said she blackmailed people, committed arson and destroyed relationships and never seemed to care. She said he\u2019d seen both sides of her now. She told him to ask her anything. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kyle asked what kind of work Diane did on herself. She said she found a psychologist who called her out on her crap and forced her to look at herself. He asked how it went. She admitted she\u2019d been offended and indignant for the first year of sessions, but deep down, she knew what the psychologist was saying she was true. Diane had to admit she wasn\u2019t a victim, she was a narcissist. She realized that none of the things she was so desperate to get \u2013 money, attention, affection and power ever came to her. Her behavior left her broke, invisible and alone. Worst of all, it cost her the one pure unselfish joy she\u2019d ever known \u2013 her life with her beautiful son. The realization was crushing, but it was the first step on the road that brought her back to him, asking for forgiveness. He appreciated what she was saying, but he asked what would happen if all the work she did didn\u2019t get her what she wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane said nothing would happen if Kyle turned her down \u2013 she\u2019d leave him alone. He was skeptical. She said he mattered to her more than anything, and she\u2019d learned the hard way that she shouldn\u2019t try and force people to give her something she didn\u2019t deserve. She said he didn\u2019t owe her a thing. She\u2019d love it if he forgave her and gave her a place in his life. She\u2019d also try and make up for the hurt and damage she caused. He wasn\u2019t sure if that was possible. He said it wasn\u2019t that he didn\u2019t want what she wanted \u2013 she was his mom and she loved him. He was wondering if the version of her he remembered was real or if it was just an act she put on because she needed the admiration of someone who was too young to know better. She said her love for him was never an act. He thought he was willing to leave the door open and give her a chance to prove she was who she said she was. \u201cPlease don\u2019t go back to LA,\u201d he asked. Diane was moved. She went to hug Kyle, then she thought better of it and pulled back. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack and Ashland met at Society. Jack said he was in the middle of a family emergency, so he couldn\u2019t stay long. He assumed this was about Harrison. Ashland guessed that Jack hadn\u2019t spoken to his brother and heard the news. Concerned, Jack asked if this was about Ashland\u2019s health \u2013 had he taken a turn for the worse? Ashland cryptically said that he\u2019d done some reprehensible things that came back to bite him, and deservedly so. He wanted to shield Harrison from the fallout. Jack asked Ashland to stop dancing around the subject and just say what he did. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack was stunned when Ashland said he lied to everyone and he never had cancer. Ashland was disgusted with himself for his cruelty. Jack didn\u2019t care how Ashland felt \u2013 he was concerned about Victoria. Jack lived through the death of a spouse, and he had some idea of the anguish Victoria had been preparing for, just to find out it was a hoax. Ashland began to explain that he genuinely fell in love with Victoria. Jack didn\u2019t want to hear it and he was sure Victoria didn\u2019t either. Ashland said he agreed to annul the marriage and leave the company. Jack hoped Ashland was going back to NY and would leave Victoria alone forever. Ashland didn\u2019t want to leave town without seeing Harrison, and he was worried about how Kyle and Summer would take the news. \u201cYou damn well should be,\u201d Jack replied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland admitted his behavior had been abhorrent, but he said he was a good father. Jack countered that Ashland lied to Harrison about being sick. Ashland stated that there were two people in this world that he loved \u2013 Victoria and Harrison. He knew his wife might not forgive him, but he couldn\u2019t lose his son. He said he\u2019d do whatever it took to keep that boy in his life. Jack wondered why Ashland thought Jack would help him. Ashland said he and Jack were at an age where they\u2019d seen a lot of life, and they knew people were complex, not black and white. Jack had heard enough of this sick and twisted reasoning lately, and he was done. Ashland decided he\u2019d talk to Kyle himself. Jack warned him that this was not a good time to go to Kyle seeking forgiveness. He left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kyle went back to the Abbott house and told Jack he was still conflicted about Diane, but he was going to give her a chance to prove himself to her. Jack\u2019s eyes widened. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria summoned Nikki to the office to talk about Victor. She said Victor suggested Adam take Ashland\u2019s position as co-CEO. Victor framed it as a response to Victoria\u2019s supposedly fragile emotional state, which infuriated her. Sighing, Nikki said sometimes Victor wasn\u2019t the most tactful. Victoria felt insulted. Nikki understood that, but she suggested Victoria\u2019s anger should be directed at Ashland. Victoria said Ashland wasn\u2019t a threat anymore, but Adam was. Nikki said Adam was a big reason Ashland was no longer a threat. Victoria said Adam used a half a billion dollars of Victor\u2019s money to make it happen, and that didn\u2019t entitle him to be co-CEO. Nikki wanted the family unit to remain strong. Victoria said she\u2019d quit if Victor made Adam co-CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria said her brother was a snake who\u2019d been looking for ways to undermine her ever since he agreed to come work for her. Appointing him co-CEO would make things worse. Nikki said Victor saw things differently. Victoria replied that Victor always had a soft spot, or a blind spot, for Adam. Nikki admitted Adam had been successful running Newman Media and had proven he could be a reliable family member. Victoria asked if Nikki was arguing that Adam should be co-CEO. Nikki said no, she was just stating facts. Victoria thought Victor would be satisfied if she hired a co-CEO who he could agree was better than Adam. Nikki didn\u2019t think Victoria would be able to find anyone who fit that bill. \u201cI\u2019m looking at her,\u201d Victoria replied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki didn\u2019t know how to respond to the offer. Victoria hoped she\u2019d accept, since she was the only one Victoria trusted to be her co-CEO. Nikki didn\u2019t like the idea of being a pawn in Victoria\u2019s game with her father. Victoria said Victor would have to agree Nikki was the most qualified and experienced candidate, since she\u2019d been Victoria\u2019s COO from the very beginning, and she was family. Victoria told Nikki to envision herself as co-CEO. Victoria was sure Nikki would be brilliant. Victoria added that Nikki could lighten Victoria\u2019s workload, since Nikki always said Victoria worked too hard. Nikki was happy to take some of the work off Victoria\u2019s plate, but she got the feeling this would be a promotion in name only, just to fend off Adam. Victoria said this was a sincere offer, and they\u2019d have so much fun if they were partners. Nikki thought they had to think of the possible repercussions. Victoria was sure that there were no downsides. Nikki said Adam wouldn\u2019t be happy, since he thought he deserved more responsibility and Victor agreed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki asked if they really wanted to create more family drama just as the news about Ashland was going to break. Victoria wasn\u2019t going to let Adam\u2019s possible potential hurt feelings dictate her decision. She hoped they could keep the reasons for Ashland\u2019s departure from becoming public knowledge. Nikki was convinced it was going to come out very soon. She thought they should prepare for that by presenting a united front to the world. Victoria said if she caved in to Adam, he\u2019d continually try to sabotage her, she\u2019d have to play defense and the family would have to choose sides, and it would end in warfare and an absolute disaster for the family and the business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After Nikki left, Adam went to Victoria\u2019s office and asked to talk. He said he was surprised that Victor asked her to promote him as co-CEO. He said if he\u2019d known he would\u2019ve asked Victor to hold off until Adam and Victoria had a conversation. He wanted to convince her that he could make a good partner. She asked if he was going to offer him 500,000,000 of someone else\u2019s money in exchange for a promotion. He said that the company had almost doubled since the acquisition of Ashland\u2019s business holdings, and she was going to need help. He knew they\u2019d never been close, and that she didn\u2019t trust him. He said no matter how much he tried to support her, there was too much history in the way. He asked what he could do to change that and show her that working together could be a positive thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria said it didn\u2019t matter how Victor pitched her the idea of promoting Adam, because she was never going to agree to it. She agreed that her workload was going to increase now that Ashland was out of the picture. Adam said he didn\u2019t need a title \u2013 he\u2019d happily pitch in so she could see how well they\u2019d work together. Victoria didn\u2019t mean to imply that she needed Adam\u2019s help. She informed him that she\u2019d already hired someone she could trust &#8211; the only logical choice \u2013 her mother. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki met Victor at Crimson Lights and told him that Victoria offered her the co-CEO job. Nikki thought that it made sense for her to step into the position. Victor said it was a smart move on Victoria\u2019s part. Nikki said they both knew it was a strategic move to keep Adam out, but she said she\u2019d do an excellent job. He was sure she would. He wasn\u2019t going to fight Victoria on hiring Nikki. He said if he imposed his will on Victoria, she\u2019d be very upset, and if he preferred Adam over her, he\u2019d never hear the end of it. He took Nikki\u2019s hands and called her Madame CEO. <\/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 Newman Media, Adam was surprised to hear Diane was alive.
