Nikolas Causes Trouble For The Quartermaines & ELQ

After Sonny (Maurice Benard) was pardoned for murdering Michael's biological father, AJ, Michael got revenge by suing for custody of Sonny's daughter, Avery, and rigging the proceedings in his favor. Not only did he successfully win custody of the baby girl, whom he promptly renamed AJ, but he has also managed to keep those who betrayed him--Sonny, Carly (Laura Wright), Kiki (Hayley Erin) and Morgan (Bryan Craig) mostly away from her as well.

However, now, those actions have cost him dearly, after Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) called for a vote to replace Michael as CEO of ELQ so he could take over--with the deciding vote falling once again on Lucy's (Lynn Herring) shoulders. And to the shock of the Quartermaines, she voted in Nikolas's favor, citing Michael's actions and claiming he needed to grow up.
