Adam also said he should’ve rejected Victor’s initial proposal because Victor was giving him something he didn’t deserve. He went on to point out that he’d acted entitled, and his mom had taught him differently, and he’d forgotten the lesson.

After their discussion, where Adam admitted everything he’d done that was wrong, Victor wondered where they go from there. Adam let his dad know that he’d made amends to Nick and Sharon, and Victor wanted the details. He pitched that his dad let him start over and earn his position at Newman on his own merits in hopes that he could change everyone’s opinion of him.

Victor didn’t think Adam would be able to do what he’d suggested because of his dark side. Adam promised that this time would be different because he’d hit rock bottom with nothing left to lose. Before leaving, Victor said he was impressed with Adam’s change of heart so long as his intentions were sincere.

Young and the Restless Recap: Startling Choices

At Society, Sharon (Sharon Case) made her case to Nick (Joshua Morrow), but he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do work-wise. As Sharon made a hard sell and Nick expressed his reservations, Sally (Courtney Hope) chimed in, encouraging Nick to do what he thought was best.

Sharon left to let Nick and Sally talk the whole thing over, and Nick asked what Sally really thought. She told him to do what was best for him and promised he’d have her support. As they talked, Sally worried about Adam, especially after losing Ava, and Nick didn’t like her feeling sorry for him.

Nick said his brother might finally learn some humility, and Sally thought Nick’s comment was cold. She wondered if he implied Adam deserved to lose their daughter. Nick said nobody deserved to lose a child but that Adam’s suffering was inevitable given how he’d behaved in the past. Ultimately, he apologized for saying that, though, when Sally asked if she also deserved loss and suffering.

Later, at Chancellor Park, Nick flashed back to when he first worked for Victor. He also remembered the moment he and Sharon bought Crimson Lights. Adam walked up, and the brothers talked. Adam congratulated Nick on his return to Newman Enterprises, but Nick didn’t buy his brother’s change of heart. He told Adam how frustrating it was to be unable to trust him. Adam said he’d changed, and it seemed like Victor had set the stage for them to all figure out who they were and what they wanted.

Sally returned to her suite, and she did some work. Adam knocked on the door, and she invited him in. They discussed her new business, and Adam told Sally not to worry about him because he had a plan.

Sharon stopped by to see Mariah (Camryn Grimes) at the Chancellor Mansion. Mariah worried she’d made a bad choice to stay with Devon and Abby while Tessa was away. Sharon reassured her Aria was fine, and they would get through the challenge. Mariah needed a distraction and asked Sharon to update her on the business, so Sharon gave her daughter the good news.

Y&R Recap: A Decision

Nate (Sean Dominic) checked in with Victoria (Amelia Heinle) to ensure they were doing okay. After all the big moves Victor made, Nate complimented Victoria, and she explained she and her dad had worked things out.

However, Nate wondered if Nick would try to get him fired. Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) walked in during their discussion. She let Victoria and Nate know she’d updated Newman Media employees, who were nervous due to all the recent turnover.

Victor showed up at the office, and he wanted to know if Nick had accepted his job offer. Nikki suggested that Nate step down since Nick didn’t want to work alongside him. Victor advised them all that they should wait to see what Nick said.

Victoria and Victor left, and Nikki asked Nate what he would’ve done if Victor had agreed with her. He turned the question around on her. Ultimately, Nate said he’d step down if Nick and Victoria asked him to. Nikki accused him of being slick, but Nate said he was just being truthful.

Nate asked what he had to do to convince her of his sincerity, and Nikki said to step down of his own volition. Nate declined. Victoria and Victor returned, and Nick walked in. Nick turned down the position and said he’d work with Sharon instead.
