Sally typed out a text saying the situation had changed, but then she deleted it without sending it. She called Adam and sent a voice message asking if he\u2019d decided on his next move. \u201cMoves and countermoves. Sounds like you and Adam are made for each other,\u201d Jack said as he walked up. Sally wondered if that was meant to be cutting. Jack said it wasn\u2019t an insult \u2013 he was fond of Adam, and he seemed to be happy and not creating chaos, at least not publicly. Jack said that if Sally\u2019s relationship with Adam had anything to do with that, he was happy for them both. Sally was glad to hear that, because as one friend of Adam\u2019s to another, she was trying to figure out of she should be freaking out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally was sure Jack saw the media blitz about Adam becoming CEO, but now that was up in the air after Victoria\u2019s return. Sally thought this was unfair to Adam, who never even had a chance to get his feet wet. Jack said Victor had a long history of manipulating his children. Jack thought Victor\u2019s cavalier approach to Adam had always been reprehensible. Sally said compared to the Newmans, the Abbotts were downright wholesome. Jack didn\u2019t know about that. He assumed she was also worried about how this would affect her. She said she wanted this to work out for both her and Adam. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sally said Adam was constantly being mistreated by his family, and now he was getting unceremoniously kicked out of the top spot. \u201cYes, I get that he\u2019s done some messed up things in the past, but haven\u2019t we all? Haven\u2019t they? However, he\u2019s the one that\u2019s always being kept on the outside. He can never do enough, be enough in their eyes. And it just ridiculous,\u201d she said. Jack said there had been a complicated dynamic at play decades before Sally arrived in Genoa City. She knew but she said Adam had done so much to prove himself and earn the family\u2019s respect. She said Adam was brilliant, funny and sharp, and no one had ever treated her with this level of respect and appreciation, personally and professionally. Jack adopted a stiff smile, and Sally apologized. She said he\u2019d been great until she gave in to her worst impulses, which Phyllis was more than happy to reveal to him and everyone else. She said she fought really hard to change her self-defeating behavior and she\u2019d accepted the consequences and went about rebuilding her credibility. He thought she\u2019d made real progress. She said she\u2019d shown up and done the work and it had paid off in ways she couldn\u2019t imagine. He said she\u2019d always been a big dreamer. She said she was really proud of everything she accomplished, and now all her plans and dreams might be taken away, and she wasn\u2019t sure what to do or how to feel. The one thing she was sure about was Adam, who believed in her and trusted her. Jack could hear the love in Sally\u2019s voice, and he thought the relationship made sense, since Adam and Sally always wanted to prove themselves to the world. He said Adam was unpredictable when he felt emotionally wounded, and he tended to overreact in outsized and dangerous ways, rarely considering the collateral damage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick met with Sharon at Crimson Lights and told her about Victoria\u2019s scheme to cut Ashland out of their lives for good. He said Victoria needed Ashland and the family to believe she was choosing him over the family. Nick didn\u2019t approve of Victoria\u2019s methods, but he thought she played it brilliantly. Sharon said Victoria was her father\u2019s daughter. Nick revealed that Victoria offered him a job. Sharon asked if he was going to take it and where that left Adam. He assumed Victoria would want Adam to return to Newman Media. He said Adam stormed out of the meeting, because they all knew Victor was going to reinstate Victoria as the CEO. Sharon noted that Victor just had a splashy press conference announcing Adam would be running things. Nick understood that Adam was upset to be one of Victor\u2019s chess pieces, but he said everyone, even Adam, knew Victor\u2019s goal was to rehire Victoria. Nick thought Adam had hoped Victor would punish Victoria by keeping Adam in charge. Nick just wished Adam would understand that being CEO of a major media company was a tremendous opportunity. Nick thought Victoria would want Nikki to be co-CEO. He said Nikki thought Victoria would want him to be COO. He wasn\u2019t sure how he felt about this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sharon brought Nick to the park so he could have some fresh air while he thought. He said that if he took this job, his hours would be a lot less flexible, so he\u2019d have less time with Christian. Sharon noted that they had young kids when he worked for Newman before, and he balanced work and parenting. He said if he went back to Newman, he\u2019d be stepping away from New Hope, and he really enjoyed that work. She said improving people\u2019s lives by building affordable housing was exactly who he was. He contrasted that to re-joining corporate America, Newman style, and all the chaos that went along with that. She reminded him that he said he\u2019d be able to mitigate a lot of that, influence the family\u2019s decisions and manage the family infighting, and possibly prevent something like what Victoria just went through. She thought that protecting the family and the family business would be fulfilling in a different way. She said Noah would be able to fill in the gaps at New Hope. He said that it would make him comfortable to know his son was there to continue the mission. Noah was a fast learner who knew the place inside and out. Sharon said that this could be a good opportunity for their son. He thought it sounded like she thought he should take the job at Newman. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Since Sharon had historically been supportive of Nick\u2019s decision to strike out on his own, he wondered what changed. She said he was stronger and more centered now, and the blinders were off \u2013 he saw his family for who and what they were. She suggested he was older and wiser, and they smiled. She said in the past, working in that environment changed him into someone he didn\u2019t want to be, but now she thought he would be able to change the environment. She said that making this decision for the sake of his family could be the most fulfilling thing he\u2019d ever done. She knew him well enough to know that he was going to go back to Newman. Nick stood, staring off into the distance, and Sharon nudged him and smiled. He thought she was right \u2013 he\u2019d been heading in this direction for awhile. He said he needed to hear her advice, that he wasn\u2019t crazy for considering this. He thought she was right and that this was the correct decision. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At Newman Enterprises, Victoria\u2019s portrait was back on the wall. Nikki straightened it and said it was in its rightful place. Nikki thought that Victor would be so happy the painting he commissioned was back on the wall. Victoria said she and Victor were in a good place after a nice long talk. Victoria asked Nikki to be her co-CEO again, and she accepted. Nikki thought this was an important transition for the family \u2013 they&#8217;d all be working side by side in the company Victor built. They talked about the possibility of Nick joining the company. Victoria said Nick supported her through the entire ordeal even though he didn\u2019t understand or agree with her decisions. She said she needed people like that around her \u2013 with unquestionable loyalty. Victoria wasn&#8217;t going to push Nick, but she thought it would be wonderful if they all worked together with Victor as their advisor. Nikki said there was a dangerous wildcard who could blow everything up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki was talking about Adam. She wasn\u2019t lobbying for him to have a seat at the Newman Enterprises table, but he had been abruptly pushed out, and he needed to feel valued. She said they\u2019d have to handle the situation carefully. Victoria said that after Adam was done licking his wounds, she\u2019d happily have him back as CEO of Newman Media. Nikki said that Adam might view it as an insulting demotion. Victoria said it was Adam\u2019s choice, but if he came to work for her, that would satisfy Victor\u2019s desire to have the family work together, while making sure Adam couldn\u2019t affect the decision making at Newman Enterprises. Nikki said if Adam decided to stay, he\u2019d be miserable and try to undermine Victoria at every turn. Victoria knew Adam was a menace, but she wasn\u2019t going to lose sleep over it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack ran into Nikki at Crimson Lights. He told her he didn\u2019t want to get into it over Diane, but she went on a short rant about Diane anyway. Afterward, Nikki said right now she had other things on her mind, though, like her family. He heard her family was going through a lot, but he kne Victoria came back without Ashland, so he was sure she must be relieved. She said they were glad Victoria was out of that horrible man\u2019s clutches. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Stannis tipped Ashland off that Adam was at the coffeehouse, so Ashland went there. Ashland approached Adam on the patio and pretended it was a chance meeting. Adam asked what Ashland wanted. Ashland said he wouldn&#8217;t give the Newmans the satisfaction of fleeing every time he saw one of them. Adam wondered why Ashland was in town \u2013 surely he couldn\u2019t still be chasing Victoria after the way she worked him over. Ashland claimed he was here to pick up his belongings from Victoria\u2019s house. Adam said Victoria might have put them out on the curb. Ashland assumed Adam knew what it was like to be kicked to the curb, now that Victoria returned to reclaim her rightful place on the throne. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland could just imagine Victor welcoming his precious daughter back into the fold, proud as a peacock about her pulling off another remarkable coup. Adam didn\u2019t know why Ashland was rhapsodizing about a woman who scammed the hell out of him. Ashland admired the way Victoria played the game. He thought it was clever of her to trick him into signing away the rest of the money he got from her father. He noted that paying him off had been Adam\u2019s idea. Ashland complimented the skill with which Victoria lied. He said it was the kind of deal Victor himself could\u2019ve thought of. Ashland was sure that when Victoria talked to Victor, she\u2019d pointed out that the payoff was Adam\u2019s plan and that her plan was more like something Victor would\u2019ve conceived of. Adam said it wasn\u2019t like Ashland didn\u2019t have it coming. \u201cVictoria played us both to get exactly what she wanted,\u201d Ashland said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland said that Victor saw Adam as a convenient placeholder and never had any intention of taking him seriously. He said they both got lied to by someone they thought they could trust. Adam said at least he didn\u2019t get fleeced for 250 million. Ashland said Victor took Adam\u2019s power and respect, which was way more valuable than cash. Adam said Ashland had to know Victoria would never take him back. Ashland didn\u2019t understand why Adam continued to think Ashland was interested in reconciling with the woman who just conned him. Adam said surely Ashland wasn\u2019t going to try and sue for the money Victoria reclaimed, since that would be a losing proposition after he lied about cancer. Ashland wasn\u2019t interested in a court case. Adam asked if Ashland was out for revenge. Ashland was sure Adam was out for revenge after what his family had done. Ashland mused that he and Adam wanted the same thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Adam went to Sally\u2019s office and apologized for not returning the calls. She understood he had a lot on his mind. He told her about his run-ins with Billy and Ashland. Adam thought Ashland was doing something that could turn things back in Adam and Sally\u2019s favor. He said Ashland kept implying they were after the same thing, which was stripping Victoria of everything she had. Adam said Victoria took everything from Ashland and humiliated him. Adam knew how that felt too. He said Ashland wanted to make Victoria pay and make her life hell. He said that if Victoria was under attack, she might make costly attacks that he could capitalize on. Adam wondered if he could help speed things along. Sally thought the ultimate goal was for Adam to be CEO. Adam said that wasn\u2019t his goal anymore. He was finished trying to prove to his father that he was worthy. \u201cVictor has insulted me and used me again and again. And my sister\u2019s loved every minute of it. She\u2019s confident in her place and secure no matter how much I have tried to prove myself,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m done trying. I just want to see my dear little sister crash and burn, and I want to see my father go down with her,\u201d Adam revealed. Sally looked concerned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chelsea and Billy got a table at Society. She commented that Adam stormed out of the restaurant past her without acknowledging her. Billy said that Adam had a bad day. He didn\u2019t want to talk about Adam, though. He asked how Chelsea and Chloe were doing. Chelsea said she decided to take a much-needed break from fashion to preserve her friendship with Chloe. Chelsea said she partially had Billy to thank, because their conversation earlier gave her a lot of clarity. She said she\u2019d been saying yes to everyone recently out of fear of letting everyone down, especially Chloe. He knew that feeling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chelsea wanted to do something for Billy to repay him. She knew he was caught off guard by her honest opinion of his podcast. He said she told him that she wallowed in self-recrimination and that he was dour. She believed Lily was the one who used the word dour. Chelsea said that she also said Billy was one of the funniest people she\u2019d ever met, and she\u2019d seen every facet of Billy Abbott. She thought she could help his podcast grow by telling him what it needed. He felt that was generous of her, but he said he worked alone, delving into his psyche in the middle of the night. She suggested that was part of the problem. He wanted to hear her out since the last time she gave him a critique it was right on the money. She thought she could help him broaden topics and have a different tone. He admitted that the latest research said his audience was plateauing, so maybe he could use a little help. Victoria walked in, and Billy ended the meeting with Chelsea, because he and Victoria had to discuss the kids. Chelsea welcomed Victoria back and left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria sat with Billy. He was glad she\u2019d finally seen Locke for who he was and cut him loose. Victoria said it wasn\u2019t easy to convince people that she still loved Ashland and that she was willing to walk away from everything for him. The part she regretted the most was how tough it was on everyone she loved. He assumed she was talking about her parents, and he said they were tough as nails. Victoria wanted Billy to use The Grinning Soul podcast to reveal the ugly truth about Ashland\u2019s cancer scam. She said it would be coming from an anonymous podcaster. Billy said that would mean revealing the truth of what Ashland did to Victoria. She said it would be worth it to close all the doors on Ashland and ensure that he couldn\u2019t ever do this to anyone else. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland was in a bad mood when he went back to his room at the Athletic Club. He slammed the door shut and groaned. <\/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 Society, Stannis sent a text to Ashland saying he overheard an argument between Adam and a guy named Billy.
