Y&R Recap Today
Nick and Adam are trying to figure out what the meeting with their father, Victor, could be about. Nick believes that it is about their sister Victoria’s leave of absence and how they are now shorthanded at the company. However, Adam thinks that it is more about them working together. Although Nick thinks that it won’t work, he agrees to try because it will keep their father happy. Adam has a history of self-destructing, but he assures Nick that he is committed to making it work this time around.
Victor arrives and thanks them for coming. He proceeds to mention the corporate turmoil and says it is time to start fresh. Victor then announces that Nick and Adam will be working as equals under him as Co-CEOs and neither of them will outrank the other. He wonders if they can handle working together or if they will be at each other’s throats before they even start. Adam is totally committed to making it work, and Nick offers to give him the benefit of the doubt. Victor then assigns them the task of drafting how they can fold the new acquisition into the existing Newman corporate structure. Adam leaves to get started while Nick stays behind to talk to his father about a personal matter.
Nick asks his dad if he has thought through his decision. Victor assures him that he has and asks Nick to try and get along with his brother. Nick agrees and says that he is doing it for his father’s sake. He hopes that Adam won’t disappoint him again.
Then, Nick meets with Adam at Crimson Lights to discuss their ideas. Nick is initially skeptical, but Adam tells him that they need to try and get along, as their father wants. After some discussion, Nick gets them coffee and suggests adding a brownie if they can make things work. Eventually, Nick and Adam find common ground, and Nick admits that he owes his brother a brownie.
Nikki goes to Society and texts Victor to meet her there in an hour. Seth arrives, and Nikki tells him that she is having a difficult day. She reveals that she is struggling to let go of some things that have been bothering her. She explains that feeling angry makes her desire to drink even stronger, but she is doing her best to resist. Seth reminds her that he is there to support her.
Nikki tells Seth that she caught Victor searching through her office. She says that he sees her as the strongest woman in the world, and she is confident that she can overcome this obstacle. She has faced similar challenges before, but this time, it feels more difficult. Seth reassures her that she doesn’t have to go through this alone.
When Victor arrives, Nikki introduces him to her sponsor. After Seth leaves, Victor questions why Nikki didn’t tell him about her meeting with her sponsor. He wonders if she has a specific reason for meeting him today after assuring him that everything was okay.
