Well, I watched the episode too, and it didn't exactly look like
storming to me.  The way I recall it, Nikki started pointing the finger
long before Ashley did.  Ashley told her the way things REALLY were.  I,
for one, was ecstatic.  It's way past time for Nikki to wake up.

I don't think that's so unreasonable.  In fact, he offered her anything
she wanted as part of the divorce settlement, so what's the big deal?

When someone ends a marriage, they don't necessarily divorce the rest of
the family as well.  Ashley wasn't even really butting in.  She just
went to inform Nikki about things she thought she ought to know about. 
And it was about time.

I don't think that it was solely Victor's fault.  If anything, Victor
and Nikki share the blame equally.  Victor was unapproachable and Nikki
was a pill-popping lush.

I don't think Ashley's attack was totally unfounded.  In fact, it was
right on the mark.  What she basically told Nikki was that Vicky
couldn't come to her because she was off in her own little world,
popping pills and chugging down the booze.  Can anyone argue with this
statement?  

I was *SO* glad when Ashley finally threw it all in Nikki's lap. 
Nikki's been going around jerking other people's lives around, changing
her mind, then changing it back again, with no regard for anyone's
feelings except her own.  No wonder Vicky wants to be on her own.  With
a mother like Nikki and a father like Victor, she's lucky to be alive
and sane.  I wonder how Nicholas is doing?
