He knocked and called out to her. It was noisy out, due to high winds and barking dogs. Inside the house, Victoria asked Ashland what he meant when he said there was only one way for this to end. He was in a rage, and he took a step toward her, causing her to back away. Her eyes were filled with tears. Nick called, and Victoria said she needed to answer the phone, but Ashland said no. She glanced at the fireplace poker. Victoria said that it was her security detail, and if she didn\u2019t answer within 15 minutes, they\u2019d come inside. \u201cWell then, we\u2019re gonna have to make this quick,\u201d Ashland replied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Back outside, Nick saw the lights were on, but he thought Victoria might be asleep. He recorded a voice message asking her to call and let him know she was safe, then he left. Ashland didn\u2019t buy Victoria\u2019s bluff about the security detail calling her. He said she\u2019d been lying to him for weeks, so he didn\u2019t believe her now. He was sorry it had to end this way, but maybe it was inevitable. He said said that they were both unique powerhouses and driven, so maybe it was a mistake to think they could work this relationship out, because both of them couldn\u2019t be on top \u2013 someone had to fall. She did not understand his ramblings, and she wanted him to leave. He pulled out the Loch family ring she gave him as a gift. He reminded her that she\u2019d said it was supposed to represent their bright shiny future, but it only represented her lies and deception. He said he\u2019d never wear it again, but he\u2019d keep it as a reminder of how cruel people could be. \u201cI\u2019m cruel after everything that you\u2019ve done?,\u201d she shouted. He screamed that he loved her and she used that love against him. She began to point out that he started it, but he wouldn\u2019t let her get a word in. He went on a tirade arguing that she was worst that he was, because he was willing to become a better person for her, and he walked through fire for her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria begged Ashland to calm down. He snarled that he risked his life pulling her from that burning car only to have her destroy his life. He wished that he\u2019d left her to burn to death. \u201cI should\u2019ve let you die. Because maybe then I could still believe now that you loved me til the bitter end,\u201d he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria contended that Ashland only had himself to blame for how his life turned out. He advanced on her, ordering her to stop saying that because she sounded like Victor. She said even if she\u2019d died in that crash, he wouldn\u2019t have been loved because she\u2019d fallen in love with who he pretended to be. \u201cAnd who was that, Victoria? A stronger younger version of your dad?,\u201d he asked. She said it wasn\u2019t even close. She saw him for who he was now \u2013 he wasn\u2019t the strong and powerful Ashalnd Locke, and he wasn\u2019t anywhere near the man her father was, he wasn\u2019t even poor pathetic Bobby DeFranco, who he\u2019d left in New Jersey. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria yelled at Ashland that he was pathetic, sad, ugly and disgusting, and no one could ever love him. Ashland grabbed Victoria by the upper arms and ordered her not to say that. She broke free and shoved him off, then she ran over and grabbed the fireplace poker. He approached again, but he backed up when she held the poker to his chest. \u201cYou bitch,\u201d he snarled. Victoria ran toward the door, and Ashland followed, saying he wasn\u2019t going to let her leave. Just then, Nick burst in and ordered Ashland to get back. Nick demanded to know what was going on. \u201cYour sister and I are saying our final goodbyes,\u201d Ashland said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick got caught up to speed, and he positioned himself between Ashland and Victoria. Victoria said she\u2019d repeatedly asked Ashland to leave. Ashland said he didn\u2019t break the law since Victoria let him in. she pointed out that he\u2019d been lurking outside. Nick told Victoria to call the police. Ashland said there was no need since Victoria said the security team was on the way, in spite of the fact that there was no intended malice on his part. Nick argued that everything Ashland did to the family had malice. Ashland groused about Nick breaking up a conversation between a husband and wife. Victoria pointed out that they weren\u2019t married. Ashland rushed toward Victoria, screaming about their unbreakable bond, but Nick pushed him backward. \u201cYou keep your hands of me!,\u201d Ashland ordered. Nick told Victoria to call the police, and she turned to get her phone from the kitchen, while Ashland demanded that she stay put. Nick told Ashland not to talk to Victoria like that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria stopped and stayed in the living room. She heard Ashland say he\u2019d talk to her however he damn well pleased. Nick shoved Ashland and said if he didn\u2019t leave, there was going to be a problem. Ashland maintained that he didn\u2019t do anything wrong. Victoria countered that Ashland broke into her house, threatened her and grabbed her. Victoria went to get the phone. Nick snapped when he heard that Ashland had put his hands on Victoria. He punched Ashland in the face, and he fell and hit his head on the fireplace hearth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashland was still. Nick didn\u2019t believe Ashland was really knocked out, since he\u2019d been faking since since day one. He kicked Ashland and ordered him to get up. Ashland remained motionless, and a concerned Nick knelt down by him. Victoria came running back in and asked what was wrong. Nick couldn\u2019t feel a pulse. Victoria wrapped her hand around Ashland\u2019s head to feel for a pulse too. She couldn\u2019t find one either, and when she withdrew her hand, Nick saw that it was coated in blood. The siblings shared an alarmed look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">While Nick closed the patio doors, Victoria did CPR, then she told Nick Ashland was dead. Victoria never called 911, because she\u2019d hoped Nick could get Ashland out without calling the authorities. Nick said to call them now, but Victoria wasn\u2019t sure that was the right thing to do. She thought maybe they should call their father, but he said no. \u201cI\u2019m responsible. I hit him. We got to do the right thing. When has circumventing the law ever worked out for us?,\u201d he said. Victoria brought up the consequences. Nick thought it was self defense &#8211; Ashland attacked Victoria, so Nick had to hit him, and he fell. Victoria wasn\u2019t sure the district attorney would see it that way. Nick said to call Chance then, because he was family, and he could help. Victoria got on the phone while Nick went outside for air. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Chance was at Crimson Lights with Sharon. He wanted coffee because he figured it\u2019d be a late night at work. He said when the weather got weird, things tended to happen. Sharon looked uncomfortable, and Chance apologized. She said it was okay. She acknowledged that Rey\u2019s accident happened on a very foggy night, but the crash turned out to be unrelated to the weather. Chance didn\u2019t want to bring up bad memories for Sharon. She said it was fine \u2013 she was thinking about Rey too. She asked how things were out there, and he said it was mostly fine, just some fallen trees. He hoped he was just being paranoid. Victoria called Chance and asked him to come by because Ashland got hurt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria went outside and stood with Nick. He told her how he\u2019d been about to leave the house earlier, but something didn\u2019t feel right, so he came in through the back door. He felt he needed to go over the night\u2019s events to get his story straight for Chance. \u201cHe was coming after you again, so I hit him and then he fell down. I was just trying to stop him. Obviously, I didn\u2019t want him to die,\u201d Nick said. Victoria said it was an accident, simple as that. He didn&#8217;t think it felt that simple. He decided to go walk this off. He left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria followed Nick out into the woods. She told him he saved her life tonight. He wasn\u2019t so sure. She said she could tell from the look in Ashland\u2019s eyes that he was going to kill her. She repeated what Ashland said about last goodbyes and how he wished she died in the car accident. Nick thought that was sick. She said Nick did what he had to do to stop Ashland. Victoria was grateful. He was glad he was there for her, but he took a man\u2019s life tonight and there was no changing that. She said he had her back, just like he\u2019d always promised, and she\u2019d do whatever she could for him. He knew. They hugged, and he said they had to get back to the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victoria and Nick went back to the house. She asked what he was going to say to Chance. He said he\u2019d just tell the truth. They noticed the patio doors rattling, and Nick thought he didn\u2019t close them tightly enough. They soon noticed that Ashland was gone. There was just a small pool of blood on the floor and hearth where he\u2019d fallen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki entered the Grand Phoenix. Victor called and relayed Adam\u2019s warning that Ashland was out for blood. Victor wanted Nikki to be safe. She was more worried about Victoria. He reminded her that he had everything under control. The call ended, and Nikki met with Phyllis, who was hoping Nikki\u2019s investigators came up with something on Diane. Nikki was disappointed to say that they hadn\u2019t. Ashley texted that she couldn\u2019t make it. She also told them not to worry about Diane using Allie, because Allie could hold her own. Phyllis didn\u2019t have the same faith in Allie, because she was lovely and sweet, and Diane took advantage of people like that. Phyllis ranted about Diane, and Nikki asked what had her so riled up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis was miffed because she met with Summer earlier, and Summer had acted like Diane deserved a medal for saving Harrison from Ashland. Nikki said that was ridiculous. Nikki was there at the park, and all Diane did was send a text to Michael. Phyllis said Diane probably did it so everyone would fall all over her. Nikki said you would\u2019ve thought Diane saved Harrison from a burning building with the way Michael gushed over her. Phyllis wondered what was wrong with Michael. Nikki said Ashland gave Diane a look like she\u2019d betrayed him. It made Nikki wonder if Ashland and Diane had an arrangement, and she double crossed him. Nikki said the worst part was Ashland got out of jail in a matter of hours, and now this situation made him even more furious. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis was sorry Ashland was pointing his anger toward the Newmans instead of someone who deserved it, like Diane. Nikki was sure Diane would walk away unscathed, since she inexplicably had a charmed life. Phyllis thought they should make it look like Diane was intentionally trying to sabotage Marchetti. Nikki really liked this idea. She said she knew she could count on Phyllis to think of something devious and underhanded. Phyllis said she was better at this than Nikki.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis said this would be tricky because they didn\u2019t want to actually hurt the company or Summer. They also didn\u2019t have anyone on the inside, because Ashley worked strictly at Jabot. Phyllis said that there were some people coming form Italy to work and some new hires. She said it was ironic because Summer offered her a job at Marchetti, and she turned it down. Nikki assumed Phyllis didn\u2019t take the job because of Jack. Phyllis said she didn\u2019t want to leave him. Nikki was sorry it didn\u2019t work out. Phyllis alluded to the point that things had been going well between her and Jack until Diane\u2019s arrival. That was why she was willing to do whatever it took to get that bitch out of their lives for good. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis thought it was too bad Chelsea didn\u2019t take the job at Marchetti, because she could\u2019ve helped them out, since she liked schemes. Nikki said they needed someone with an ax to grind toward Diane. Nikki thought Phyllis should tell Summer she wanted to work at Marchetti. Phyllis said that she couldn\u2019t do that because she ran the hotel. Nikki thought the place could run itself. Phyllis had an idea. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The winds whipped around Diane on Jack\u2019s doorstep, pelting her with leaves. Jack ushered her inside. He told her that when he was a kid they used to call summer wind that came out of nowhere wicked winds, and it was a bad omen. He said when wind like this kicked up, trouble was right around the corner. \u201cAnd here you are,\u201d he said, smiling. She was sorry to come unannounced, but she came to talk to Kyle. He said Kyle and Summer were gone. Jack thanked Diane for the situation at the park. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane modestly stated that she did what anyone would\u2019ve done \u2013 she knew about the restraining order, so when Ashland showed up, she texted Michael. Jack said Diane still took a risk, and he knew Ashland was playing on her emotions. Diane said that Jack deserved some credit too because he warned her about Ashland. Jack thought Diane was brave to risk getting on the wrong side of Ashland. Diane didn\u2019t think she was in danger. He didn\u2019t know why she wasn\u2019t just thanking him for the praise instead of arguing with him. She thanked him. He said Kyle was very pleased with the way she handled this. She said she\u2019d do anything for Kyle. Diane had come to ask Kyle some work questions, but she wondered if Jack could help instead. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack said Marchetti was Kyle\u2019s domain, so Diane should ask him. Diane said her questions were larger and not specific to Marchetti \u2013 things like protocol and early expectations vs. long term goals. Jack was sure those were rudimentary questions for Diane, who\u2019d been in business the whole time they\u2019d known each other. He was sure that pretending to be dead hadn\u2019t taken away her ability to handle new situations. She said she might be rusty. He told her to fake it. He was sure she could bluff her way through this and hundreds of other situations. She asked if he was teasing or being mean. \u201cI\u2019ll never tell,\u201d he replied. He offered her a drink, and she accepted. She accurately guessed the kind of drink he was going to make for himself, and he said she knew him well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane was nervous about her job. Jack was surprised anything made her nervous. She said she didn\u2019t let many people see that side of her. He was flattered. She saw no point in trying to fool him, given their history. She agreed with what he said earlier \u2013 she could fake her way through any scenario, but this job was different. She didn\u2019t want to let Kyle down. He said Kyle would understand that she had to learn on the job. Diane said she also had to impress Summer and everyone else. Jack was sure Kyle would give Diane the benefit of the doubt every time, but Summer could be tougher. Diane said she couldn\u2019t bluff or use her old bag of tricks with Summer. Jack asked if one of Diane\u2019s tricks was showing up asking for Kyle when she actually only wanted Jack\u2019s advice. \u201cI\u2019ll never tell,\u201d she said, and they smiled. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack thought Diane should stop putting so much pressure on herself. She said she had a good thing going and she didn\u2019t want to mess it up. He said that Kyle and Summer were intelligent, rational people who knew she wasn\u2019t an expert in public relations. He thought all they expected was commitment and honesty. She thought being honest in PR was unusual, but he said not for companies under the Jabot umbrella. He guessed that was the hardest part for her. She hoped people would stop rubbing her history in her face. He said old habits died hard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane didn\u2019t take this job opportunity for granted. It meant a lot that she was going to work so closely with Kyle and Summer. She also appreciated Jack for not preventing them from hiring her. She was sure it was hard for him to see Kyle readily accept her. He said it proved something was missing in Kyle\u2019s life, and her return filled a void. She was sure he must resent her for leaving him to raise Kyle alone. He said resentment was a waste of time and energy. She thanked him for his remarkable restraint. He wanted her to know it wasn\u2019t for her benefit. She hoped that one day they could be friends. She\u2019d made a bet with herself that she could pull that off. She asked what her odds were. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to know,\u201d he replied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Later, Diane was pleased because she and Jack had gone upstairs and peeked in on the sleeping Harrison. Jack said their grandson could put a smile on your face. She loved hearing him say \u201cour grandson.\u201d She was so glad she decided to reclaim her life \u2013 even if it ended tomorrow, spending time with Harrison and Kyle made it worth it, even though Harrison didn\u2019t know she was his grandmother. Jack said that was for Kyle to tell him. Diane decided to leave. The wind had let up, and Jack said maybe there was no trouble tonight after all. <\/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 Nick was on Victoria\u2019s doorstep.
