Sally Opens Up to Victoria About Billy — and Nikki and Victor Tearfully Recall Christmases Past
Today on The Young and the Restless, Nikki and Victor remember the true meaning of the season, Jack and Diane exchange gifts, and Billy overhears Sally’s concerns.
Nikki arrives at the Newman ranch, dazed by the decor. As she approaches the tree, she flashes back to happy memories of last year. Victor suddenly appears and admits he didn’t think she would be back tonight. Nikki remains beyond angry, but she wants to spend Christmas with her family. “I agree,” he says. They remember how happy their last Christmas was. For the sake of the children, he hopes they can set their anger aside. She warns she’s not backing down on opposing what he did to Jack.
Victor reminds her that the Christmases they have shared have been the happiest times of their lives. She points out that not all of their Christmases have been merry. They recall when she gave him a tree, even though they had split up. He admits that tree meant everything to him. He remembers when he was left in an orphanage on Christmas Eve… now look at all they have? Sobbing, he reminds her of the life they have built and their grandchildren. They have a lot to be proud of. They kiss.
Diane Raises Jack’s Spirits
Diane happily greets Jack with eggnog when he walks through the doors of the Abbott manse. Even if there isn’t enough coal in the world for Victor, she wants to leave that outside and have a peaceful evening with her husband. They kiss and agree to spend the evening celebrating their love. Traci is out with Amy, Ashley is in Paris, and Kyle and Harrison are at a party. They mull over how complicated Kyle and Claire’s “young love” is. Jack says “old love” is looking pretty good. Diane would rather call it “mature love.” They make out.
Jack says she always knows how to bring him to some semblance of peace. They are grateful for their love. She says he’s given her more than she could have expected and he can’t imagine a world without her next to him. Although they agreed to no gifts, they got some. Jack opens his first. It’s the original edition of Max Factor’s autobiography. He was an idol to John. Jack got Diane a necklace made by Coco Chanel, which she kept for her own collection. He tells his wife what a gem she is. Dancing by the fire, they vow to do whatever is necessary to prove the Abbotts can’t be stopped. They kiss.
