In this episode of CBS’ The Young and the Restless, Victor makes a big decision, Nate gets in Locke’s face, and Lauren tries to talk Michael out of working for Victor, while Allie gets an earful from Jack and Diane. In the previous episode, Chance told Rey he’s going back to work, and Michael explained what happened to him.

Victor treats Lauren and Michael to lunch at Society. It’s the least he could do. “The very least,” Lauren mutters. Michael’s glad since he hasn’t had a decent meal for weeks. Lauren wants to work her way through the menu.

Victor’s all for it but she says all the wine in the world isn’t going to erase the danger Michael was in and that he wasn’t honest. Lauren’s upset when Michael says he isn’t quitting. He has to see this through.

Victor says the next assignment is local. Michael’s glad. He needs to take a look at the Locke/Newman merger contract and find a loophole to kick “that bastard to the curb.”

Michael agrees and  asks where things stand between Victoria and Locke. Victor tells them that she has a plan that she refused to explain. Tragically, she’s in love with him. “He needs to be dealt with swiftly and severely,” Vic says.

He goes and Michael tries to sweep her off her feet so she’ll feel better about him keeping the job. “No, no, no, no. You’re not going to litigate this.” She was beside herself when he  was missing. He’s sorry but he’s home safe.

She wants him to stay that way. He plans on being so annoyingly attentive that she’ll be begging for a restraining order. For now, he has to see it through. For himself. Locke kept them apart.
