1982 (#34) - Victoria's birth and Nikki's return

Everyone's life in Genoa City is shattered by the return of Nikki, called back to the city by Katherine, having learned from the Nikki that she has given birth to a baby girl. Everyone is so happy to embrace the newcomer and especially Kevin, who confesses to Nikki that things between him and Carolyn didn't go exactly the way they wanted to and that he is so ready to give their marriage a new chance. Nikki seems quite skeptical, but after receiving another rejection from Victor she reluctantly accepts it. Allison proposes to name the baby girl Victoria, just like Earl's mother and then Kevin's grandmother who had passed away a few years earlier; a request that makes Allison's husband, Earl, overjoyed and now reconciled with his wife. The choice, surprisingly, is welcomed by Nikki, who is actually happy to name her little girl after what she feels is her real father, Victor, the only man she loves.
