I think that was all Victor wanted was for Victoria for once fight for what she wanted .
I don't see any rumor that Adam is leaving so I am sure he will return to Genoa City. Chance is to be coming I think it said November. Sweeps?

Kyle and Lola had been searching online for a house, but they couldn't find one they really liked. Kyle wanted them to have what they deserved. Lola realized that Kyle was referring to Jabot and not a house. Kyle explained that he'd encountered problems with Billy. Lola reminded Kyle that Jack had been excited about him and Billy sharing the CEO position. She suggested that Kyle and Billy sit down and establish boundaries. Kyle admitted that hiring Victoria would be an asset, and if he tried to keep her out, it would appear as if he'd been putting his ego ahead of the company.


Lola told Kyle that Billy had shown his true colors, and Kyle needed to use that to his advantage. She said if Billy tried to push Kyle out, it would backfire on Billy, and Jack wouldn't be happy. She believed that if Kyle made a stand, he would end up smelling like a rose.

At Society, Victoria admitted to Billy she'd only had two hours of sleep because she'd tried to imagine her future without Victor and his precious legacy. Billy asked if that meant she would work with him at Jabot, because the timing was perfect. He said Jabot would soar with her on board. Victoria admitted that it would be fun. Victoria stated she needed to stand her ground with Victor, and if Victor thought he'd have the last word, she wanted to show him it wasn't over until she said it was.

At Crimson Lights, Theo informed Mariah that he'd decided to leave Power Communications. Mariah asked why he'd quit. Theo claimed it hadn't been a good fit. He said his client list had grown, and his association with the Grand Phoenix and Jabot had him spread too thin. Mariah told him to stop with the bull. Theo claimed he'd wanted to tell her before Devon did because he wanted to say goodbye on good terms. Mariah said Theo had omitted the part where Devon had fired him because he'd tried to throw her under the bus. Theo claimed that Devon had overreacted, because he hadn't attacked or undermined her position.

Mariah told Theo that she had once been exactly like him. She'd lied and picked fights when she'd known she'd been wrong, but one day, she'd stopped and taken a good look at herself. She'd found that her life had been lonely. She advised Theo to take a good look at himself because the people he dealt with would see right through him, and he needed to get out of his own way. Theo claimed that in the end, he always found a way to win. Mariah said she felt sorry for him if that was what he believed winning looked like, and she left.


In Las Vegas, Phyllis teased Adam about his name, "Spider." Adam said he was tired and wanted her to leave, but Phyllis claimed they had important things to discuss. Phyllis wanted answers because the last time they'd spoken, they had both believed that Victor had died, but he'd risen from the dead. She wanted to know what Adam had planned. Adam informed her that he hadn't planned anything. He said he liked living in Las Vegas and making plenty of cash. Phyllis said he could make a bigger pile of money.

Phyllis told Adam that it was very enticing to disappear because she'd done it, but she reminded him that he wasn't "Spider"; he was Adam Newman, and he couldn't ignore who he was. Phyllis told him to pack his bags because they had unfinished business. Adam said that wasn't what he wanted, and she had some nerve barging in and telling him what he needed to do. He said he didn't want to return to Genoa City. When Adam asked what she would gain, Phyllis spat, "Revenge." She said they had the Newmans running. Adam reminded her there was a jail cell waiting for him. Phyllis assured him that Victor would never allow Michael to press charges, and no one would ever know that he'd switched the medication.

Adam told Phyllis he had no desire to be involved with anyone unless they had a deck of cards. Phyllis tossed a deck of cards at Adam and proposed one game of five-card draw. She said if Adam won, she would leave, but if she won, Adam would have to answer all her questions. Adam agreed, and he added that she was out of her league. As Phyllis dealt the cards, Adam suggested that she move to Las Vegas. He offered to teach her some tricks so they could stay in Las Vegas and live the high life.

Phyllis reminded Adam that she had a child in Genoa City. She mentioned that Connor was a good reason for Adam to return there. Adam claimed that using Connor to distract him wouldn't throw him off his game. He said Connor was better off without him. Adam threw in all his chips. He asked if Phyllis was going to call or fold. She called -- Adam turned over his cards, showing a full house. He bid Phyllis farewell and told her to have a safe trip home. Phyllis said, "Not so fast." She turned over her cards, showing she had four of a kind, which beat Adam's full house.

Phyllis said she wanted Adam to tell her everything and to start with Victor. Adam said he'd figured out that Victor was still alive, and he'd gone to see him. He described the confrontation he'd had with Victor before he'd left town. Phyllis thought it was genius that Adam had played on Victor's sympathies. She said that Victor's defenses were down, and Adam could swoop in and destroy Newman Enterprises. She said she was behind that plan, and she'd help in any way she could.

Adam informed Phyllis that he was out of the revenge business, and he didn't care about Victor's business. Phyllis asked if it didn't bother Adam that Victor had faked his death and later held a press conference announcing he was alive. Adam repeated that he didn't want revenge. He was aware that Phyllis still wanted revenge. There was a knock at the door, and when Phyllis opened the door, there was Cane. Phyllis thought the situation had become interesting.

At Society, Theo informed Summer that Devon had fired him from Power Communications and LP. He said Devon hadn't appreciated his attempt to put himself above Mariah, and Devon had further stated that Theo's talent revolved around his ego. Theo said that without Power and LP, the sky was the limit. He would push his other projects and set up meetings with major companies. He didn't need to deal with "small-town crap."

Summer told Theo that Devon was one of the good guys. If Theo couldn't work for Devon, he couldn't work for anyone, and he needed to get over himself. She said he was smart enough to get people to do what he wanted them to without pushing their buttons or manipulating them. Theo accused Summer of making a lot of assumptions about him. Summer said she was trying to help him. She said that life wasn't about a reality show or social media feeds. Theo said he found what Summer had said ironic because she'd jumped at the chance to be an influencer, and she loved being the center of attention.

Stunned, Summer told Theo that after everything that had gone on with her family, she'd taken a hard look at herself. She'd figured out what she needed and what she wanted. She'd realized that she needed to hold herself to higher standards. Theo asked if she was suggesting that he do the same. Summer claimed she'd seen the other side of him -- a sweet and caring guy under that party boy façade. She asked why he hadn't allowed people to see that side of him.

Theo thanked Summer for her insight. He said he didn't know what he'd enjoyed more, the insults or the condescension. Summer claimed he'd misinterpreted what she'd said. Theo claimed he had a pretty good handle on it. He said he wasn't as evolved as Summer, and he didn't measure up to the new and improved Summer. Theo said she reminded him of Kyle, and he pointed out that it wasn't meant as a compliment. Theo left.

As Summer was about to leave, she bumped into Kyle and Lola at the entrance of Society. Summer said she was on her way to Jabot, and Kyle offered to go with her. Lola told Summer that Kyle would take control at work, and before Kyle and Summer left, she offered to make them a sandwich to go. While Summer and Kyle waited, Summer noted that Kyle had made a complete turnaround. Kyle said he knew what he wanted, but it might not be as easy as Lola thought. When Lola returned, Kyle kissed her, and he and Summer left.

At Jabot, Summer told Kyle to find his dream home with Lola. She warned him not to get too caught up in work the way she had. She admitted how she'd regretted doing that.

Victor entered his office at Newman. He was horrified to see the letter opener stuck in his portrait. Victoria arrived. She said they needed to talk. Victor showed her the letter opener. He said she'd made quite a statement. Victoria asked if Victor was waiting for an apology. Victor said he was. Victoria began by stating she'd heard from a reporter that Victor had pushed her out of the CEO position. Victor agreed that had been unfortunate, but what she'd done had been childish and petty. Victoria said that Victor had assumed she would apologize and move back into her old office as COO. She stated that it wasn't going to happen.

Victor told Victoria they'd always made a good team, but Victoria retorted that Victor had expected her to fall in line. She said she deserved better from him. Victor asked if they were about to enter into negotiations, but Victoria said no; she was going to tell him what she wanted. She started by acknowledging that Victor had built the company, he'd sustained it through many challenges, and he'd brought it back from the brink on countless occasions. She said she'd watched and learned from him. She admitted she'd tried to emulate him. He was her hero, but even heroes reached a point in their lives and careers when they needed to take a step back and hand things over to the next generation.

Victoria told Victor that he'd given her everything except the one thing that mattered most to her -- the chair. Victor said he wasn't ready to give it up, but Victoria claimed she'd been ready to be the permanent CEO for a long time. Victoria said she'd poured her heart and soul into Victor and the company. She reminded him that she'd gone to jail to protect his plan, and he'd rewarded her by shunting her aside without any warning, believing she'd behave like the good and adoring daughter she'd always been.

Victoria stated that Victor had made the wrong call for himself and the company. His health should have been his first priority because he'd been suffering from a serious illness. She was aware that he'd made peace with Adam, but Adam's betrayal had taken a toll on him. She said everyone but Victor had seen the toll Adam's betrayal had taken. She stated that she should be the one to lead Newman into the future, and if he refused to acknowledge that, then Victor needed to consider their relationship over.

Victoria told Victor that if she walked out the door empty-handed, she would focus all her energy on starting her own business. She said she wouldn't steal Victor's business from the shadows the way Nick had with Dark Horse -- she would come after Victor with everything she had. She said she'd inherited Victor's drive and determination, and perhaps a little of his ruthlessness. She promised him that he would spend every day fighting her, and he would lose. Those were her terms -- he could take them or leave them.

Victor realized his quandary -- he either accepted her terms, or he would lose her. Victoria said that unless she received the respect she'd earned and deserved, they had nothing more to say to each other. Victor pondered Victoria's ultimatum. He said she was his daughter, and he was very proud of her. He placed his hand on the chair and told her the chair was hers.

Visibly shaken, Victoria asked if Victor meant it. Victor said he did with all of his heart. They embraced, and Victoria thanked him for entrusting her with his legacy. She promised to seek his advice whenever it was required. Tearing up, Victor said she was his daughter, and he loved and trusted her. He handed the reins of the company to Victoria, and they embraced again.
