Chance asked what Kevin knew about Locke\u2019s death. Kevin heard Ashland lost control of the car and drove into a ravine, news that wasn\u2019t met with an outpouring of grief. Chance realized Kevin didn\u2019t read the police report. Kevin had been busy with IT stuff. Chance said that Locke\u2019s death might be more complicated than originally thought. Kevin asked if there were signs of foul play. Chance said that there was nothing he could point to just yet. Chance laid out the facts of the case \u2013 Ashland showing up at Victoria\u2019s, the confrontation with Nick that got physical, Ashland seemingly not having a pulse, but then leaving the house while Nick and Victoria were outside waiting for Chance.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin suggested that Ashland\u2019s death was hitting Chance harder because he\u2019d recently lost his partner, Rey. Chance said it was a reminder that not everything was the way it initially seemed. When Chance found out Rey had a heart attack, it he understood why Rey didn\u2019t make an attempt to avoid the collision. Chance wanted to know exactly what Ashland did every minute leading up to his death, and he wanted Kevin to help. Kevin didn\u2019t think he could help, since he wasn\u2019t a cop or a mechanic. Chance told Kevin to go see the medical examiner. Chance had learned that she and Kevin both liked some fantasy game, and he thought they could bond over it. Chance said Kevin should invite the doctor to join his group of players. Kevin knew Chance meant a guild. Chance said once the medical examiner was buttered up, Kevin should let her know that this autopsy was a top priority. Kevin guessed that was simple enough. Chance needed Kevin to learn the police report inside out. Kevin was excited, because he figured he and Chance were a team. He bounded out of the coffeehouse.  <\/p>\n<p>Victor was at Society on the phone with someone. He learned that everyone on the security team who\u2019d been watching Victoria\u2019s house on the night Ashland died had been interviewed by the police and that all the interviews went smoothly. He wanted to be informed if anything changed. Adam walked in and watched Victor from afar. Victor was pleased by something the caller said. He ended the call just as Noah arrived for their meeting. Noah asked if Victor had looked at his proposal to turn Top of the Tower into a nightclub. Victor had, and he thought it was a hell of a concept. He could tell Noah put a lot of work into it. <\/p>\n<p>Noah thought that during the day, the club could showcase cutting edge art from around the world. He said the space could be a gallery, an event venue and a nightclub. He said they could utilize augmented reality to change the space and give people an immersive experience. He said he\u2019d handle curating everything himself. Victor said Noah was a Newman, and he was very bright. However, Newman Tower was a business, and they needed Top of the Tower. Victor said that Noah\u2019s idea was impressive and it was a recipe for success. Victor said that when you were young, sometimes it was important to spread your wings, like Nick did, and now he was coming back to Newman, and he was going to apply all he learned to the company Victor built. Victor knew that Noah would do the same thing one day. They shook hands, and Noah started out. Noah acknowledged Adam as he left. <\/p>\n<p>Adam wondered why Victor wasn\u2019t drinking tequila to celebrate Ashland\u2019s demise. Victor invited Adam to sit, and he did. Victor didn\u2019t grieve Ashland, but he didn\u2019t think Adam should be so glib about his death. Adam understood that Victor didn\u2019t want to seem too happy about it in public, given that Chance was implying there were a lot of questions surrounding Ashland\u2019s death. Victor sat up straighter. \u201cOh, now I have your attention,\u201d Adam said. <\/p>\n<p>Victor didn\u2019t realize Chance and Adam buried the hatchet. Adam said he wouldn\u2019t go that far. He explained that he\u2019d been about to leave town. He didn&#8217;t have a job or prospects, so he thought he was due a vacation. Victor asked where Adam was going to go. Adam was gong to go to Vegas for R&#038;R and maybe a few poker games. He ran into Chance, who told him about Ashland. Adam wasn\u2019t surprised no one in his family told him the news. Victor said they were preoccupied. Adam was sure Victor would\u2019ve contacted him if he needed anything underhanded or shady done. Victor asked what Chance said. Adam explained that Chance told him to stay in town because the family might need him. Adam didn\u2019t tell Chance he was a Newman in name only. Victor said that was Adam\u2019s choice. Adam complained that Victor left him no other choice. Adam asked if he was supposed to keep letting Victor use him and just play the dutiful son, trying to earn his respect? Adam didn\u2019t think they needed to rehash this again. Victor wanted to know what Chance said. Adam said that Chance told him the official version was that Locke got into a car crash. It was interesting to Adam that Chance added that qualifier, like he might think there was a different end to Locke\u2019s story.  <\/p>\n<p>Adam wondered why the police were looking into what appeared to be a simple car crash. He asked what Victor thought. Victor thought Adam was wasting time asking questions about the dead. He asked if Adam wasn\u2019t concerned about his sister and her children. \u201cI guess you\u2019re only interested in twisting the knife,\u201d Victor said. Adam pointed out that yesterday, he\u2019d come to Victor and Victoria and warned them that they\u2019d pushed Locke too far. He said Victor had Ashland arrested just for seeing his son. Ashland knew it was Victor, and Adam couldn\u2019t deny it. Adam thought the arrest was completely unnecessary. Adam knew Locke was out of control and planning to use Victoria to get revenge. \u201cHe wanted to hurt you [and Victoria], and he was gonna use your precious daughter to make his point,\u201d Adam said. Adam didn\u2019t know what Ashland\u2019s plan was, but it didn\u2019t matter now. \u201cYou got your happy ending. You wanted Locke gone, he\u2019s gone. But that was just a crazy coincidence wasn\u2019t it,\u201d Adam said, with a knowing look. \u201cYou\u2019re beginning to piss me off, and that\u2019s never a good idea\u201d Victor stated. <\/p>\n<p>Victor was adamant that Ashland died in a car accident. Adam thought it was funny how things worked out for everyone, except Locke. Victor said Adam didn\u2019t even like Locke. Adam found the situation very intriguing. Victor acknowledged that Adam walked away from the family, but he said that when a Newman was in trouble, they all forgot about their differences and pulled together. Adam said Ashland was dead, and the threat was gone. \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn whether that son of a bitch is gone. Do you honestly think that when one threat disappears others aren\u2019t lurking?,\u201d Victor asked. Victor told Adam that he was a Newman, and he should remember that. Victor walked out, and Adam got up and went to the window to watch him leave. <\/p>\n<p>Noah went to Dive Bar and met with Allie. He said Victor turned him down, but getting to see Allie was helping cheer him up. She said they should work on plan B \u2013 the location his sister suggested. It was in the Grand Phoenix, and Noah wasn\u2019t enthused about working with Phyllis. Allie understood how Noah felt about Phyllis on a personal level, but this was business, and she thought Phyllis must be good at running a business. Noah said there was always some drama swirling around Phyllis in her professional life too. Allie said Noah didn\u2019t have to be Phyllis\u2019s best friend to lease a space from her. He thought Allie was almost mercenary in how she was looking at this. She said she was practical. He liked that. She toasted to all the no\u2019s that brought him here and the one that would lead him to a yes. He stared into her eyes, but then he got a text, and she told him he should probably take it. The text was letting him know Ashland died. <\/p>\n<p>Allie only knew the news alert was about Ashland, and she asked what the jerk had done now. She felt bad after she found out he died, but Noah didn\u2019t think she should. He said Ashland did some abysmal things to innocent people. He thought she should feel bad for his victims, not Ashland. Allie knew Ashland hurt a lot of people Noah loved. Noah was sure Victor already knew Ashland was dead, and he found it odd that Victor failed to mention this gigantic event that affected the family and the business. <\/p>\n<p>Allie suggested that Victor didn\u2019t mention Ashland\u2019s death out of respect for Noah and his pitch. Noah said that would be sweet and considerate, which were two things Victor wasn\u2019t. Allie said Victor might want Nick to tell Noah. Noah said that Victor liked to handle things himself. Noah said Nick loved Victor and would do anything for him, but he left Newman Enterprises so many years ago because he couldn\u2019t stand to be around the plotting and scheming anymore. \u201cHe can\u2019t be that bad. Can he?,\u201d Allie asked. <\/p>\n<p>Noah apologized for making things sound so ominous, but then he decided that Allie should know what his family was all about, so she knew what she was getting into. Allie grinned and said from the day she and Noah met, he peddled this whole story about the twisted dark Newmans and their arch-rivals, the Abbotts. She was making light of the whole thing. He said he wasn\u2019t making it up. She knew there was a history, because Jack and Ashley mentioned it many times, but no one ever told her the exact issue. She said she met Victor and found him pleasant. Noah said that was because Allie hadn\u2019t given him a reason to put her on his enemy list.<\/p>\n<p>Allie wanted to know one specific thing Victor did. Noah said that once Victor organized a hostile takeover of Jabot and stole her family\u2019s company. Allie said Victor didn\u2019t own it now. Noah said it took years for Jack to get Jabot back, but if he hadn\u2019t, there was a good chance Allie wouldn\u2019t be interning there now. Allie wasn\u2019t fazed about something that happened so long ago. Noah said that it was just a matter of time before Victor got upset with the Abbotts again, and there was a good chance Allie would get caught in the crossfire, so he\u2019d understand if she wanted to run in the other direction. Allie wasn\u2019t going to run from Noah. She didn\u2019t scare easily, and she knew he wasn\u2019t the manipulative guy he\u2019d described his grandfather as being. Noah clarified that Victor was also a generous loving man who\u2019d do anything for his family. Allie thought it sounded like Victor was human, and therefore he had a contradictory nature. She said her father hid her family history from her. She still struggled with it, but she loved him nonetheless. He suggested again that she might want to get out while she still could. She asked how she could think about leaving just when things were getting good between them. He kissed her. <\/p>\n<p>Nick was working at a little table in Victoria\u2019s office. He flashed back to everything that happened the night that Ashland died. Sally showed up and told Nick she was staying at Newman Media. He noted that she\u2019d sounded sure about quitting. She said she\u2019d let her personal life cloud her judgment and she wasn\u2019t thinking about what was right for her. She\u2019d just been reacting. He said that could get you in trouble. She said she\u2019d been reacting to things Adam was saying and doing, and that was a huge mistake. She knew she\u2019d been given a unique opportunity. She\u2019d been underestimated her whole life, and now that someone was taking a chance on her, she thought she owed it to them to show them that they were right to do so. She also wanted to prove it to herself. He was happy for her. She thanked him for the epiphany. He was sorry he\u2019d been so blunt with her that night. He used to think Adam had stopped trying to sabotage his happiness, but now he felt that Adam must need chaos in his life. Sally got a news alert about Ashland\u2019s death, and she was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>Nick said he already knew Ashland was dead. Sally asked if he had any details about what caused the car accident. She wondered if Ashland had been drunk or if someone in another car had run him off the road. She asked how Victoria was doing. Nick said Victoria was on a trip with the kids. He added that Victoria planned the trip weeks ago. Sally clarified that she wasn\u2019t insinuating anything. \u201cYou were with your eyes,\u201d Nick countered. Sally guessed it was a good thing Victoria was out of town and out of the spotlight. Nick didn\u2019t think Newman Media should dig too far into the story, out of respect for the family\u2019s privacy. Sally thought that Newman Media could tell this story like no one else \u2013 the death of Victoria\u2019s ex, the disgraced former co-CEO of their parent company. Nick said there was a lot more to it than that. Sally thought Nick should tell her with he knew before she jumped to the wrong conclusion. Nick said what he was about to tell Sally was off the record and not to be shared with anyone else. He told her he already spoke with the cops. He thought that this story might eventually come out, so he wanted her to hear this from him. <\/p>\n<p>Nick said he had a confrontation with Ashland before he spoke to Sally at Crimson Lights. Sally said it was obvious something had been weighing on Nick last night, and the last thing he wanted to deal with was her personal drama. He said that was the last thing he wanted to deal with any night. She understood now why he was harsh when she told him she was leaving Newman Media. She said talking with him really helped, and she\u2019d like to return the favor. She was sure this was a lot for him to deal with. Chance texted Nick wanting to meet. Sally asked if that text was about Ashland. Nick said he just had a lot of work to do, now that Victoria was gone. He needed Sally to leave the office, but he made it clear that he was glad she was staying at the company. He brought up the story on Ashland, and she said that Newman Media would stick to the facts. He said it was nice to know he could count on her. Sally left.<\/p>\n<p>Nick and Chance met at Crimson Lights on the patio. Chance didn\u2019t want to make a difficult situation any harder on Nick. Chance said Nick could tell Victoria everything they discussed today. Chance talked to the security team who watched Victoria\u2019s house, and all the stories lined up with what Victor said, like they were reading from the same script. Nick asked if Chance would prefer the stories not to line up. Chance had been doing this for long enough to look for red flags. Nick said the people Victor employed were smart enough to know what they were doing, and they were just trying to give Chance the information he needed. Nick said he\u2019d been nothing but open and honest with Chance, and he had nothing to hide. He asked what Chance wanted from him. <\/p>\n<p>Chance just wanted to give Nick an update and he didn\u2019t mean to upset him. Nick didn\u2019t believe that. Nick said Chance was family, but he didn\u2019t have to deal with Ashland\u2019s scams and lying and worrying every day what he was going to do to Victoria. Nick said Ashland was gone now, but the chaos remained. Chance was trying to cut through the chaos and figure out what happened, especially from the moment the security team called Victor. Nick thought it sounded like Chance should be talking to Victor then. He walked off. <\/p>\n<p>Kevin returned to Crimson Lights. He\u2019d charmed the medial examiner into giving him the autopsy report. It said Ashland hit his head on the windshield and died instantly. Chance asked if she said definitively that the head injury was caused by the crash. According to Kevin, she wouldn\u2019t say that was definitely what happened. Kevin asked if Chance was thinking about the fight Nick and Locke had and trying to connect the dots. Chance said he didn\u2019t have an agenda \u2013 he was just trying to evaluate the evidence and reach the correct conclusion. Chance said Nick was in good shape, and he threw a punch, and Ashland fell. Kevin realized Chance\u2019s theory was that Nick threw the punch killed Locke. \u201cAnd if he did, then how the hell did that guy wind up dead in a ravine?,\u201d Chance asked.<br \/>\n<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 Kevin figured that whatever Chance wanted to talk about must be top-secret since they were meeting at Crimson Lights instead of the station.
