The show opens up with Nikki and Victor having lunch. They are discussing Diane and whether or not or when to tell the rest of the family that she is alive and in town. They discuss the various family members and how Diane played into the past with them. Nikki was kind of irritated at Victor for telling Adam before anybody told Nicholas, Victoria, and Abby.
Victoria and Billy run into each other at the coffee house. Victoria is getting coffee and Billy is picking up something sweet to eat to take to the family gathering. Victoria asked Billy if he has a few minutes to talk. He explains that he’s already late for a family meeting but he will take a few minutes. He asked the normal questions about whether the kids are OK or things like that. Victoria starts to talk to Billy about a podcast that she recently heard that his company house. It is called the grinning soul. Great name Billy! Lol
Anyway, she gets into the fact that the host talks about a high-level player that lied about many things to his current wife. She tells Billy that even though they are using a fake voice, she knows how Billy phrases things and she knows that it is him doing the podcast and he is talking about Ashland. Of course Billy denies this, but I don’t think Victoria believes him. She was highly pissed and said that she was a private person and he betrayed her by taking her personal stuff public. Does she really think that what Ashlyn did is not going to go public at all? If that’s what she thinks, she needs a reality check. That is a high-level business deal that went South. A lot of people are going to find out!
At the Abbott house, Tracy, Ashley, Jack, Abby, Kyle, Diane, and eventually Billy, all gather to hear Diane’s explanation. Diane says all the right things, but somehow it’s too neat and tidy.
Ashley wants proof of her seeing a therapist and insists on seeing her financials. Diane actually agreed to that. The thing that really got to me as far as not believing Diane, and she did all kinds of background information on each Abbott family member. There was no need to do background information on the rest of the Abbott family. That tells me that she is up to something very big. Prime examples of that are Ashland doing the same thing before he moved to town and done business, and Sally who did background information on all the Abbotts while she was trying to get in Jack’s pants! Lol
After Diane leaves the Abbott home, the doorbell rings. Allie has arrived and Jack welcomes her in to meet her family.
That was the end of the show for Monday!
