He assured her the decision was hers, but he wanted a head\u2019s up so he and Victoria could be prepared. As far as Sally knew, no other news outlet knew Ashland showed up at Victoria\u2019s house and had a confrontation with her and Nick. Sally wanted to inform the public, but she thought it might be a little premature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It was important to Sally that what Newman Media put out to the public was rock-solid, and she didn\u2019t have the whole story yet, so she wasn\u2019t going to include anything about Ashland\u2019s whereabouts before the crash in the article the company ran. But once she had the relevant details, she was going to do what she had to. Nick thought that was smart, and he really appreciated the way Sally was handling this, and he wouldn\u2019t forget it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki found Victor in Victoria\u2019s office staring up at he portrait. \u201cI\u2019m worried about her too,\u201d she said. Victor wasn\u2019t sorry that bastard was dead, but he was concerned about Victoria\u2019s reaction to it. Nikki just talked to Victoria \u2013 she\u2019d told Johnny and Katie about Ashland, and it went as well as could be expected. Nikki said Nick was upset and confused too, and he didn\u2019t know what to make of Ashland\u2019s death. Victor was sure Nick would be okay. After Nikki left, Nick went to Newman Enterprises and spoke to Victor, who relayed what Nikki had said about Victoria. Victor said Nikki was going to make the official statement about Ashland, on behalf of the company. Victor asked if Sally and Newman Media were on the same page. Nick brought Victor up to speed. Victor said Sally might not be the liability he\u2019d thought she\u2019d be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Victor said that now that Sally wasn\u2019t involved with Adam, she\u2019d become a team player to keep her job. Nick wasn\u2019t going to speculate on that, but he said there was more to Sally as an executive and a person than Victor thought. Nick shifted gears and said he couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that he didn\u2019t know what took place last night, when Ashland died, but he got the sense that Victor did know. Victor maintained that Nick had nothing to do with Ashland\u2019s death. Nick countered that Ashland didn\u2019t have a pulse, and even if it had been too weak to find, how did he have the strength to leave the house? Victor didn\u2019t know, but he said Ashland had a history of surviving calamitous situations. Nick said there was no trail of blood, and the ring was left on the floor. There were too many things about last night that didn\u2019t make sense to Nick. Victor said Nick always had a deep sense of morality, but there was nothing to worry about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick said Victor couldn\u2019t preach that they were a family unit then also freeze him out. Nick was finished with Victor\u2019s games. Victor said he wasn\u2019t playing a game \u2013 he was trying to help Nick. Nick yelled at Victor to stop trying to control reality. Victor asked Nick what the hell was wrong with him. Victor said the facts were that Ashland was dead, and Victoria was safe at home with her children, and Nick was alive and well and should be home with his son. Nick was sure Victor was hiding something, and he didn\u2019t know how he was supposed to trust Victor. Victor came clean. Ashland died at Victoria\u2019s house, and Victor\u2019s security team took care of things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nick sank into a chair and asked for all the details. Victor said after Nick and Victoria left, his team went in and found Ashland dead on the floor. They removed the body, put him in his car and staged the accident at the ravine. Victor was adamant that Nick didn\u2019t do anything wrong and that he\u2019d saved Victoria\u2019s life. Victor said it was an accident and Nick didn\u2019t mean to kill him. Victor yelled that no one cared that Ashland was dead \u2013 he was a fraud who did so much damage to the family. He was adamant that the police weren\u2019t going to find anything, and they were going to move on. He told Nick to forget this ever happened and to remember that Victor did this to protect Nick. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">At Crimson Lights, Chance asked Sharon how she was handling all the news about Ashland\u2019s car accident. She found it upsetting, not that she was fond of Ashland. It brought up memories of Rey\u2019s death for her and how Ashland wasn\u2019t able to save him, but somehow managed to save himself and Victoria. She spoke to Nick about it, and he\u2019d been a great comfort, thought he was still trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. Chance assumed Nick told Sharon the whole story. Sharon only said that Nick told her Ashland was dead. She added that she wanted to be a support to Nick, the way he\u2019d been for her after Rey\u2019s death. Chance was curious about Sharon thinking Nick needed support. Covering, Sharon said all the Newmans needed support, then she made a hasty retreat to the back room, claiming that she\u2019d left something in the oven. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kevin was leaving Society when Adam approached and asked what the rush was \u2013 did he have some hacking to do? Kevin said he worked for the GCPD, so Adam would have to go elsewhere if he was looking for someone to blackmail into being his minion. Kevin stated that he had a great job, great relationship and great family, while Adam was striking out on all three fronts. Adam didn\u2019t think gloating was a good look. Kevin accused Adam of putting him through hell, and Adam was unapologetic because Kevin was no innocent. Kevin said he did his best to change, while Adam was wallowing in his bad habits. Adam asked what Kevin knew about it. Kevin heard things from Chloe, the love of his life, and she\u2019d shared some things Sally said about him. Adam asked what. Kevin said he had to go because Ashland died. Adam said it sounded like an open and shut case, yet Kevin was working on it after-hours, so what was really going on? Kevin said that Ashland\u2019s case had drawn a lot of interest because he was a public figure, and there was pressure from up top to thoroughly investigate his death. Adam was skeptical. Kevin said that, as someone who\u2019d been arrested so many times, Adam should understand how this worked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After Kevin left, Sally showed up. Adam hoped Sally didn\u2019t hunt him down. She said she came to get takeout. She didn\u2019t want things to be weird every time they crossed paths. He said he didn\u2019t either, but it was up to her. She said she realized he was right \u2013 they were better off apart. She said she couldn\u2019t keep fighting for a relationship neither of them wanted. He was relieved. She revealed that she kept the job, because no man was worth giving up the opportunity of a lifetime for \u2013 not even him. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Adam told Sally that she made the right call keeping the job. She said she had a little help coming to her final decision. He guessed she got it from Chloe. Sally said Chloe spoke her mind, but Nick also made a strong argument for her to stay, and she was glad he did, because she could see they were going to have a strong work dynamic. He asked what brought her to that conclusion. She said she and Nick just had a meeting on how they were going to cover Ashland\u2019s death. She knew it was complicated for Adam\u2019s family, but she had a pretty good grip on how she was going to handle things. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Adam felt that the whole battle with Locke should\u2019ve ended when he accepted his payout and agreed to annul his marriage to Victoria. Sally remembered how optimistic Adam was about his plan to pay Ashland off. He said unfortunately, Victoria wouldn\u2019t settle for anything other than Ashland\u2019s complete destruction. Sally thought it was hypocritical of Adam to criticize someone else for wanting revenge. Adam commented that, now that he and Sally were through, she was telling him what she really thought of him. She said she always did, but now she wasn\u2019t taking pains to phrase it in a way that wouldn\u2019t hurt his feelings, since he certainly didn\u2019t spare hers. She knew he contemplated partnering with Ashland before he died. He said that was when he thought Ashland was going after Newman. He wanted no parts of it when he found out Victoria was Ashland\u2019s target. Sally remarked that Adam still had a few boundaries. Adam was creeped out by his last encounter with Ashland, and he\u2019d warned Victor and Victoria about him. He said he had a bad feeling things were about to spiral, and he didn\u2019t want to see anyone get hurt. He never imagined Ashland would meet his end in a simple car crash. Sally said Adam didn\u2019t know the half of it. She wouldn\u2019t say more, and he tried to get details out of her. She said she wasn\u2019t feeling magnanimous after he called her pathetic and broke her heart. He started to say something, but she wasn\u2019t interested. She said whatever reason he had to want to end things, he hurt her in order to get it, and they had to live with the consequences of that. Her loyalty had to be to Newman Media, she said, and she left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kevin went to Crimson Lights to talk to Chance. He said that they got a tip that a car matching the description of Ashland\u2019s was seen at a gas station on a road that ran behind Victoria\u2019s property. Chance said they\u2019d have to get security footage from the gas station and the surrounding area to find out how Ashland got from Victoria\u2019s house to the ravine. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack saw Ashley leaving the house and asked if she was going out. She asked if he was checking up on her like he did when they were teens. He felt that they\u2019d grown out of that now that they were old enough to be grandparents. He was reading the lab report she\u2019d asked him to look over. She said they could discuss it when she got home. Diane showed up, and Ashley said maybe she should stay and keep tabs on Jack. She opened the door and demanded to know what Diane was doing here. Diane brought something for Harrison. Jack mentioned that Ashley was just leaving. Ashley pointedly said she\u2019d be back really soon. She left. Diane had brought some age-appropriate books on loss and grief for Harrison to read, with Kyle and Summer\u2019s approval. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane knew that Jack was thinking what Phyllis had voiced today \u2013 that she could swoop in to help Harrison through his grief, but it wouldn\u2019t make up for the pain she caused Kyle when he was young. She said she left Jack to guide Kyle through the most devastating experience of his life. She could imagine he didn\u2019t feel she\u2019d earned the right to be there for their grandson. Jack admitted that was how he would\u2019ve reacted a few weeks ago, but when he heard about the books she got, his first reaction was to wonder why he didn\u2019t think of that. Diane felt like this was a big step forward for them. Jack didn\u2019t question Diane\u2019s feelings for Harrison or how quickly she connected to him, because the same thing happened to Jack. Jack said the family needed to be there for Harrison right now. Diane was touched to be considered family again. She tearfully promised she\u2019d never let Harrison down, the way she did Kyle. She vowed to always be there for her grandson and her son. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Diane felt guilty being happy about the progress she made when it had been such a sad day for so many others. Jack thought that the only person who\u2019d grieve for Ashland was Harrison. Diane thought that to leave behind so little love was a terrible way to end a life. Jack asked if Diane was thinking about the legacy she left behind. She couldn\u2019t help compare the situation to her own, but it was the past, and unlike Ashland, she\u2019d been given a second chance. She didn&#8217;t take it for granted. She hoped he believed that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Jack was impressed and touched with the amount of thought Diane put into choosing these books, and he thought that they would help Harrison. Jack was thankful, and he knew Summer and Kyle would be too. Diane thanked Jack for the way he shut Phyllis down at the park. He said there was no need to get into that. Diane said there was no reason to be uncomfortable. She wasn\u2019t going to condemn Phyllis for what she said. She was used to Phyllis\u2019s dynamic with her, and she admitted she probably deserved it sometimes. She appreciated the way he handled it. He said he was mostly looking out for Harrison. She knew, but if there was a tiny part of him that was looking out for her, she was grateful. She said it had been a long time since they were on the same side \u2013 it had been a long time since anyone was on her side. She left. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Phyllis and Nikki met at The Grand Phoenix. Phyllis gave Nikki points for being dedicated enough to come in light of Ashland\u2019s death. Nikki said none of them were shedding tears over him. Phyllis said some people were better off dead, like Diane. Ashley showed up and agreed that they were all happy when they thought Diane was dead. Ashley was late because Diane had come to the house. Ashley complained that Diane was using Ashland and Harrison\u2019s situation to insinuate herself into their lives. Ashley apologized to Nikki because she didn\u2019t mean to minimize what happened to Harrison and how this was affecting the Newmans. Nikki wasn\u2019t offended. They all vented about Diane, then Nikki and Phyllis revealed that they had a plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Ashley thought the three of them were supposed to be a team. Nikki said that Ashley couldn\u2019t make the last meeting, and two out of the three of them agreed on this path. Ashley said they were a democracy. Phyllis said if it was a monarchy, they\u2019d all want to be queen. They shared their plan to create a situation where it looked like Diane was sabotaging Marchetti for her own gain. Phyllis said she\u2019d be the inside person at Marchetti to set Diane up. Ashley thought that was a horrible idea. She wouldn\u2019t allow Marchetti to be jeopardized, especially when it was under the Jabot umbrella. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nikki said they\u2019d harm Diane, not Ashley\u2019s family company, or Summer or Kyle. Ashley brought up the time Gloria tainted the Jabot face cream, and while she claimed she meant no harm, it was a huge blow to the company. \u201cPlease tell me you\u2019re not comparing us to Gloria,\u201d Nikki replied. Phyllis said it wasn\u2019t like they were going to poison the resort-wear. Phyllis said their plan would be nuanced. Ashley thought people would be suspicious when Phyllis wanted to work at Marchetti. Phyllis already ran it by Summer. Summer had accused her of having ulterior motives when it came to Diane, but Phyllis handled it. Ashley wasn\u2019t sold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now that tensions were high, Phyllis told Ashley she needed to work on her discretion, because Summer almost saw Ashley\u2019s text about taking down Diane. Ashley thought Phyllis should work on where she put her phone. Ashley said they couldn\u2019t afford for Phyllis to fail. Phyllis said she wasn\u2019t going to fail and no one was going to get hurt except Diane. Phyllis likened Diane to a ticking time bomb. Phyllis was just going to slightly pull out the pin. \u201cKa-boom,\u201d Nikki said, and they all toasted. <\/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 her office, Sally asked if Nick was really going to let her make a decision about whether to cover this story, or if he was sending her a message to look the other way.
