As the soap continues next week, Ross and Vicki are both ready to move on from the events of Joel’s trial. While Ross heads out to buy an engagement ring, Mark Jr. spots an emotionally charged moment between Zack and Vicki at the Boxing Den.

However, his proposal takes a surprising turn when she hits him with a shock bombshell. Is there any way forward for Ross and Vicki?
