Monday

Happy Labor Day! Y&R was preempted due to CBS' coverage of the U.S. Open.

Tuesday

Jill, Cane and Kay were shocked to hear Chloe admit that Esther is her mother (!!). Esther was thrilled to see her daughter. She asked why Chloe hadn't called if she'd been in town for so long. Chloe said she didn't want Esther making a fuss over her or trying to take care of her by putting her up in the Chancellor estate. Chloe explained what happened between her and Cane and told all of them she didn't want to tell Cane the truth because she didn't want Cane to leave her alone with the baby. Jill didn't buy Chloe's act. Kay and Jill accused Chloe of planning everything that happened between her and Cane. Kay and Chloe sat down alone and Chloe assured her that she hadn't planned on getting pregnant. Kay reminded Chloe that she'd paid for a great deal of what she needed and made sure she grew up well taken care of. She warned Chloe not to make her regret her generosity. Meanwhile, Jill told Cane he might be able to annul his marriage to Chloe because she signed the license with a fake name. When Cane and Chloe got home, Cane told her he'd take the child away from her in a heartbeat if she continued with her games.

Nick sat at the Restless Style offices to read the letter Victor had written for him in the event of his death. Adam read his letter at the mansion, and J.T. handed Victoria her letter as she finished up work at Newman. Heather asked Adam what his letter said, but he didn't want to talk about it and threw it in the garbage. Heather scolded Adam for not treasuring Victor's final words, but Adam told her to drop it. Victoria was shocked that Victor had been so tender in his letter, and was touched that her father believed she was the heart and soul of Newman.

In Mexico, Nikki stumbled along the beach searching for Victor. When she found him, he told her she shouldn't have come after him. Victor asked how she found him. Nikki replied she knew he was alive when they found Walter's body. Nikki told her ex that people were mourning his death, and he needed to return home. Victor said his affairs were in order, so there was no need for him to ever return. Nikki tried to apologize for playing a part in his loss, but Victor demanded she leave. "I have nothing but hatred for you right now," he said. Nikki begged him to come home with her and let her support him when he needed it most. Victor continued to rail at Nikki, but she didn't give up on him. She pointed out that he wasn't the only one suffering. Unmoved, Victor eventually left Nikki sobbing and pleading for him to return to Genoa City. When Nikki left the cove and went back on the beach to call out to Victor, she collapsed in the sand.

Back at the ranch, Adam apologized to Heather for being gruff with her. Heather suggested they take a swim and cool off. When Adam went to go change, Heather grabbed the letter out of the trash and began reading it. Adam caught her and yelled at her for invading his privacy. Ignoring that, Heather thought that Victor wasn't trying to hurt him with his letter; he just wanted to stress the importance of family. Adam scoffed at that, saying he wouldn't reach out to Nick and Victoria or help them in any way.

Wednesday

Adam and Brad discussed strategies for getting Victoria and Nick off of the Newman board of directors. While they chatted, the reporter Brad invited to interview Adam on the company's new direction arrived. During the interview, Adam announced he would now go by Victor Newman. Later, Jack showed up to meet with Adam about recommitting to ad space in Restless Style. Adam was against it, but Jack finally convinced him to advertise. Adam told Jack he only bought ad space because Jack new how to sell magazines. He also offered to go on record to giver Jack quotes so he wouldn't have to fish around for a scandalous lead.

At Crimson Lights, Victoria and Nick talked about the letters Victor left them. They were both pleasantly surprised by their father's words. Victoria was touched that Victor thought his legacy would live on through her, and Nick was happy to know that Victor thought he was such a wonderful father. Kay called Victoria on her cell phone, saying she hadn't heard form Nikki in a few days. Victoria decided she and Nick should go look for her if Paul couldn't find her. In Mexico, Nikki saw Paul at a bar, and he was relieved to see her. She told him Victor was alive, but wanted to be left alone by everyone — including his kids. Paul asked her to call Nick and Victoria to let them know she was okay.

Back at Crimson Lights, Sharon and Noah showed up to talk to Nick about school. Noah continued to whine about wanting to go to public school, so Nick and Sharon agreed to let him go if he promised to stay out of trouble and keep his grades up. While they talked, Victoria told them she had Nikki on the phone. Victoria put her mom on speakerphone, and everyone was happy to hear she was okay. They were thrilled when she told them Victor was still alive, but confused when she said he was refusing to come home.

At Restless Style, Daniel returned Amber's phone. She accused Daniel of spying on her to see if she was dating someone else. Daniel said he couldn't care less if she was dating someone else, and he knew she was making up a boyfriend to make him jealous. Amber denied it, continuing to make loud, obnoxious calls to her faux friend. Back from meeting with Adam, Jack got to work on his article as Nick returned to the office. Jack said he was writing an exposé on the heir to the Newman empire, and asked Nick if he wanted to help him write it. Jack said Adam was unraveling the company with moves like hiring Brad, and that Victor was probably turning over in his grave. Nick smirked and told Jack that Victor was still alive. Jack thought Nick and Victoria were pulling a scam to keep Newman away from Adam, but Nick said it was true. Jack then went back to writing his story, with intentions on turning Victor's "Back from the dead" story into a hot new headline.

Victoria stopped by Newman looking for Adam, and Brad told her he was sorry that Victor was gone. He added that as the CEO of Newman, he'd make sure Victor's vision still remained a part of the company. Victoria smiled and told Brad there was news about her father. Meanwhile, Adam continued playing king of the castle on the ranch. As he and Heather began making love on the couch, Victor walked in.

Thursday

Victoria sat at the coffeeshop, daydreaming about how things would be when Victor returned. Nick interrupted her thoughts, and told Victoria not to get her hopes up, since Nikki said Victor had no plans of returning to Genoa City. A few feet away, Michael got a text summoning him to the ranch.

Adam jumped out of Heather's arms and out of his skin when he saw Victor standing in front of them. Victor scowled at Adam, then walked out of the room without saying a word. He retreated to his study, and Michael soon showed up and asked Adam what he wanted. Adam said he didn't call for him. Michael was confused, until the maid showed him into the study where he found Victor. "I knew you were okay." Michael exclaimed. Victor wanted to get down to business, so he and Michael began talking about Newman. Michael told him Adam's first order of business was to fire Neil and Victoria. Michael called Neil and asked him to come to the ranch right away. Victor asked if Michael had anything else to say, and Michael added that Adam had named Brad CEO of Newman. Victor was noticeably disturbed, especially when Michael explained that Adam was all about business lately, while Nick and Victoria were concerned about Victor's survival.

At the Chancellor estate, Jill continued to bash Chloe, until Esther overheard her and told Jill not to criticize her daughter. At home, Chloe presented Cane with papers outlining her legal rights to the baby, but Cane said they didn't matter, since she'd lied to him about everything. Chloe said she wanted to tell him the truth, but couldn't find the right moment. Cane didn't believe a word she said. Back at the Chancellor estate, Katherine urged Esther to have a heart-to-heat with Chloe. "You deserve answers," she said.

Later, Jill went to Cane and told him she'd spoken with a lawyer about getting his marriage annulled. Cane told Jill he'd handle it himself. Jill sensed his hesitation and told him not to worry about Chloe. Cane was offended when Jill belittled Chloe for being the daughter of a maid, but Jill told him she would take care of the problem by offering Chloe a sum of money she wouldn't be able to refuse, so she would get lost after she had the baby. Later, Esther met Chloe at Crimson Lights and asked her why she came to Genoa City. Chloe said she wanted a better life for herself, and Esther accused Chloe of being ashamed of her because she was a maid. Chloe told her mom she no longer needed to be a servant because her child was now a Chancellor. Later Chloe showed up at the estate to move in, since she couldn't live with Cane's abuse.

While Neil and Victoria considered going to search for Victor, Nick got a call telling him Victor was at the ranch. When they arrived, they were annoyed when Michael told them Victor didn't want to see them yet. When Neil showed up, Adam asked why he was there, but Michael smirked and ushered Neil in to see Victor. Neil welcomed Victor back, and Victor reinstated Neil as the head of the company. "My son, in my absence, screwed up royally," Victor said. "Rest assured I'm going to fix that." When Neil left, Adam went in to see Victor. Victor told Adam that Neil was reinstated as head of the company. He then fired Adam and asked him to leave the ranch.
