Lead-in drama regarding the potential need to cancel the night’s festivities was a smart play, as that tension kept the audience guessing both on-screen and off.

While it didn’t initially appear to be a ‘Niktor’ vehicle repair story, Nikki’s success led her to see Victor’s positive intentions. This couple, that is beloved by many tenured Y&R fans, seems to have reconciled or at least has arrived at a cooling off period.
