[ scene_break ] billy : shoot in the face -- that was my first thought . phyllis : thank you . you expected victor to spend the rest of his life in prison ? billy : ( sighs ) hoping was more like it , after everything he did to vicki and me . phyllis : which time ? billy : exactly . now look , everybody 's buzzing about this story we need to find out exactly what led to nikki killing diane in self - defense , and how that prompted victor 's apparent bogus confession . phyllis : okay , i assume you want us to also include how deacon took advantage of the situation in his own inimitable , sleazy way . billy : very nice word and hell yes , i want all the dirt , every atom . phyllis : are n't you glad that you hired me back ? billy : ( clears throat ) phyllis : ( mouths word ) are you leaving now ? billy : yeah . uh , there 's a family situation that i need to tend to . i 'm gon na leave everything in your very capable hands . phyllis : yes , it 's very capable , very capable . nick : hey , man . how 's it goin ' ? billy : hey . nick : how 's vick doin ' ? billy : hey , um , you know , she 's hangin ' in . nick : well , keep the faith , right ? billy : we are doing our level best . thanks . phyllis : hey . nick : i just came to check up on you . phyllis : why ? you do n't trust me ? nick : i know you . phyllis : i made a promise to you and your mother that whatever she said to me in confidence , i would n't print . nick : and that 's killing you , i 'm guessing . phyllis : billy wants me all over this story , but i made a promise to you , and i 'm keeping it . [ scene_break ] michael : oh , all right . um , that 's the end of the footage . avery : that 's textbook self - defense . michael : one would think , but victor confessed . uh , we 're over here . avery : because he thought that one ex - wife killed the other . michael : oh , well , at the time , he had reason to think that . avery : ( sighs ) you know , a lot of people would love to see their ex facing a life sentence . not these newmans , even after divorce . they do n't let it go . michael : ( laughs ) you got a point . look , um , meanwhile , i 'm gon na push for habeas corpus and get victor released . i need you to make sure that nikki is not charged with this murder . avery : well , from what i can see , there 's only one person guilty of a crime . [ scene_break ] deacon : i knew you 'd come . ( sighs ) nikki : did you ? deacon : look , i - i can explain this -- this whole thing , all right ? did you post my bail ? [ scene_break ] kay : you are getting out of here soon , i hope . victor : michael baldwin is working on it as we speak . kay : uh , you know , i - i do n't know if i want to kiss you for what you did for nikki ... or rap you right up aside the head . [ scene_break ] lauren : oh , davis , good morning . did you get that same e - mail from adam requesting another mandatory board meeting ? do you have any idea what that 's about ? davis : i hear he wants to take another vote . lauren : ( stammers ) on beauty of nature ? but that 's ridiculous . what is one day gon na change ? davis : i guess we 'll find out when we get there . lauren : ( sighs ) yeah , okay . i 'll be right behind you . i 'm just getting my coffee . i think i 'm gon na need it . jack : hello , lauren . lauren : jack . jack : i understand there was a stalemate on beauty of nature . lauren : yes , the sale was tabled by the newman board . jack : well , i guess no one else can buy it , either , though knowing adam , he 'll probably take another stab at , uh , trying to sell it . lauren : maybe sooner than you think . adam 's reconvening the board in about five minutes . rumor has it that the issue is going to a second vote . why , i have no idea . jack : who knows what goes on in adam 's fevered brain ? lauren : mm . is n't that the truth ? all right , well , i 'm on my way to newman , and you have a wonderful day . jack : you , too . lauren : thank you .

[ scene_break ] ( elevator bell dings ) sharon : what 's going on ? tucker : uh , i do n't have a clue . he summoned us all here for another meeting , as far as i can tell . sharon : adam did n't say anything to you ? it seems like the two of you had something going on when i walked into the office yesterday . tucker : look , i 'm a member of the board . he 's chairman and c.e.o . is there something unusual about us having a conversation ? sharon : i also know you went to see victor . tucker : just business . nothing for you to worry about . we should go in . adam : single digits is amazing . good morning . you can help yourselves to some coffee and juice . tucker : thanks . adam : mm - hmm . we 're still waiting on lauren and davis holloway , so just make yourselves comfortable . well , speak of the devil , on cue . we have beverages , if you 're so inclined . lauren : i 'd just as soon get down to business . adam : fair enough . everyone , join me around the table here . just like yesterday , we have a single item on the agenda , and that is a vote for the sale of beauty of nature . lauren : and why are we doing this ? we 're deadlocked . adam : mm - hmm , and it occurred to me that someone might change his or her vote if the ballot were secret . [ scene_break ] kay : ohh , when i think of the length that you and nikki went to protect each other ... victor : i did what i thought was best . kay : including marrying your daughter - in - law ? uh , as i told nikki , if the two of you could have only been open and honest with one another , none of this -- none of this would have been necessary . and i pray to god it -- it 's going to teach you to stop playing games ... and messing around with people 's lives . [ scene_break ] adam : per article 8 , paragraph 6 of the bylaws , it is perfectly allowable to have a secondary secret ballot vote . davis : secret or not , my vote wo n't change . bob : neither will mine . lauren : ( scoffs ) this is an absurd waste of the board 's time . ( sighs ) adam : if , after the secret ballot voting is tabulated , we are still deadlocked , i will rescind the motion to sell beauty of nature . becca . she 'll be handing out ballots to you now . if you could , mark it , fold it , and hand it back to my secretary , please . [ scene_break ] nikki : now let me see if i have this straight -- you blackmailed me , you threatened me , you lied to me on numerous occasions after destroying my sobriety , and now you want me to bail you out of jail . ( laughs ) i mean , that -- that 's almost funny . deacon : come on , nikki . you 're making this sound a lot worse than it is . please , just -- just let me explain to you ... nikki : no . deacon : if i can tell you -- nikki : i will explain that the only thing you 're gon na get from me are annulment papers . deacon : still need me , nikki . i could help you . i can ... ( exhales quickly ) i was the only eyewitness , all right ? i can testify for you . i could help you fill in the blanks , because we both know that you do n't remember everything , but i ca n't do anything as long as i 'm in here . nikki : an eyewitness of your character ? i do n't think so . i 'll take my chances . deacon : baby , you 're making a mistake . nikki : no , the only mistake that i made was in trusting you and doubting myself and my family . never again . we 're through . ( knocks on door ) [ scene_break ] phyllis : here you go . be forewarned , i made this myself . nick : ahh . any crayons in it ? phyllis : mnh - mnh , not in this pot . nick : it 's kind of a skeleton crew . where is everyone ? phyllis : uh , everybody is out covering the story . they are working on their sources . i told them to be extra ... careful . nick : but i have nothing to be worried about , right , for my mom 's sake ? phyllis : ( sighs ) i can not quash what they find . i ca n't ethically do that , but i am not going to write any of the details that nikki told us . nick : yeah , sorry . you already told me that , and here i am questioning you again . phyllis : yeah . i understand . it 's a sensitive subject . i get it . nick : there would n't even be a story , or proof that my dad was innocent , if you had n't cracked the password and pulled up the video file of deacon and diane . that 's what led us to the truth . cops owe you . my parents owe you . i owe you . i 'm sorry that i ever doubted you , and i 'm even more sorry that i ever gave you any reason to doubt me . [ scene_break ] victor : i seem to recall a time recently when you withheld information from someone because you thought that would protect them . kay : all right , if you 're talking about devon , yes , i regret handling things the way i did with him . victor : okay . kay : but as for you , you not only wreaked havoc with a murder investigation , but you still have that ... that victoria / billy fiasco to answer to . victor : katherine , i 'm a father who loves his daughter and did n't want her to get involved with a useless son of a bitch like billy abbott . kay : oh , come on . every time i try and make sense of you , you come back at me with something -- michael : oh , katherine , i 'm sorry . they did n't tell us you were here . avery : we can wait outside . kay : no , no . no , no . please , no . victor : no , come in . kay : well , i 'm sure you have much more important things to talk to him about . uh , next time i see you , i hope we 're both in the same room so we can really duke it out . victor : look forward to it . kay : get out of here . ( laughs ) oh , hi . how are you ? michael : ( chuckles ) good . avery : oh , hi . ( chuckles ) kay : thank you . michael : good to see you , katherine . kay : take care . victor : take care , katherine . kay : thank you . avery : ( clears throat ) victor : how are things going with nikki ? avery : uh , i 'm researching the case and , uh , trying to bolster up our self- defense , but as michael already told you , i think , uh , it 's unlikely that she 'll be charged . michael : and i am doing what i can to get the judge to approve your statement recanting your confession and agreeing to release you . victor : ca n't happen too soon , because i need to get out of here and right some wrongs . [ scene_break ] billy : whew . ( cupboard doors slamming ) billy : whoa .

( doorbell rings ) billy : ( clears throat ) i - i 'll be right with you . chelsea : ( shivers ) nikki : hi . billy : h - hey . nikki : oh , i 'm glad you 're both here together . i just told deacon that we 're getting an annulment . what the hell is she doing here ? [ scene_break ] jack : hello ! ( door slams ) genevieve : hey . i 'm glad you 're home . the clock is ticking away . we need to make some important decisions about the wedding . jack : such as ? genevieve : well , uh , what kind of music do we want to have , what kind of cake do we want to serve -- jack : red velvet , unless you want something else . genevieve : nope . that 's my favorite , too , with cream cheese icing , right ? okay , now how about the music selections ? jack : uh , look , if you 'll just give me a little time , i promise , i will sit down and talk through all of these things with you . right now , there 's a -- another ticking clock in my head that is keeping me a little preoccupied . genevieve : oh ? ( laughs ) what is that ? jack : the newman board is meeting again . they 're having a second vote on beauty of nature . genevieve : a second vote ? why ? jack : obviously , adam thinks he 's got the votes lined up to approve the sale , which means i have to be ready . tucker wants the company . there 's got ta be other interest , as well . if beauty of nature is gon na be dislodged , i want to get in there with the highest bid . [ scene_break ] becca : in the matter of the sale of beauty of nature , yea to approve the sale , nays against the sale , the vote is ... four yeas , two nays . the yeas have it . adam : okay , then .

( laughs ) she does n't have the first clue , mom . we caught her in jimmy ' ordering a drink . a drink ! she ca n't be trusted to be on her own . i 'm sorry . nikki : ( sighs ) well , you are very right to not trust her ... victoria : ( sighs ) nikki : but moving her in here is a mistake . [ scene_break ] phyllis : tell the models that i gave them a little extra 'cause they were amazing . thank you . nick : so ... where were we ? phyllis : oh , where were we ? i believe you were apologizing to me and telling me you were wrong . yeah , that 's what , i believe . um , and i would like to ... apologize to you , too . nick : what for ? phyllis : uh , in the past , you know , i 've given you plenty of reason to doubt my capability of keeping my word . nick : well , you 're forgiven . bang ! look at that . just like that . phyllis : wow , bang . yeah . you know ... ( exhales slowly ) i have to apologize to you again because i ca n't do the same for you . forgive you , that is . bang . nick : well , that 's why we 're gon na take this slow . phyllis : yeah , we really do n't take things slow , do we ? mnh - mnh . nick : no . phyllis : we do have three little girls to consider . nick : yeah , so this time , we 're not gon na rush it , for their sake and ours . phyllis : uh ... do you want to ... do something that people who do n't rush it do ? like , do you want to go to crimson lights , and i 'll buy you coffee that does n't taste like motor oil ? nick : are you sure we 're ready for that kind of commitment ? phyllis : well ... nick : it 's big . phyllis : yeah , i 'm buying . let 's go .

( scoffs ) whatever that means . [ scene_break ] adam : sharon . is there something i can do for you ? sharon : as i was riding down the elevator , i started wondering , how did you know what the outcome would be ? adam : i did n't . sharon : come on . you did n't drag us all in here if you were n't confident in advance that you would get your way . so i 'll ask you again , how did you know what the outcome would be ? adam : ( tosses folder ) i heard it through the grapevine that someone might change their vote if the ballot were , in fact , secret . sharon : `` through the grapevine `` ? adam : frankly , i do n't give a damn who it was who changed their vote . sharon : no . you would n't , would you ? all that would matter is that you won . adam : it never hurts . but at the end of the day , beauty of nature is being sold now , and i guess you have to go to the big house and tell big daddy the big , bad news .

( sighs ) i 've never really lived in a real house before . billy : oh , yeah ? where 'd you grow up ? chelsea : just apartments and trailers , that kind of thing .

[ scene_break ] man : ma'am , you ca n't go in there . sharon : why not ? ( knock on door ) man : all right , go on ahead . sharon : thank you . victor : you 're back early . sharon : um , who were those men i saw leaving just now ? victor : just business . nothing for you to worry about .

[ chuckles ] try not to ask . chelsea : oh , i see . you do n't think that i should ask about you and chelsea and what your long - term plans are . billy : no . no , you 're more than welcome to . i just do n't know how to answer the question . victoria : you do n't have to . billy : i want to . i really do . it 's just that the direction that chelsea and i are headed in , okay ? tell you that i like being with her and connor , and the idea of spending my life with them -- it ... sounds pretty good . victoria : that 's good . um ... i guess chelsea makes you happy . billy : she does . victoria : good . i 'm glad . billy : [ chuckles ] sure you 're not just glad to have me out of your life ? victoria : billy , you 're a good man . i 'm really happy for you . and for chelsea . but especially connor . you know , you 'll be a way better dad than adam could have ever been . chelsea : what are you doing ? adam : we -- we were just talking a little ; turns out he 's a big man u fan . you know , i 'm more of a -- victoria : i 'll take him . adam : yeah . yeah , yeah , of course . chels hi ! adam : i hope you do n't mind i picked him up . he was just getting a little fussy in the playpen . uh ... i - i did him like that . i think he was just upset that you left the room . chelsea : no , that 's okay . sorry i took so long . adam : yeah . chelsea : were you missing what -- i was looking all over for this . where did you get it ? adam : um , yeah , i just found it . uh , it was -- it was in the stroller . chelsea : i looked there twice . adam : actually , of shoved down in the corner . the blanket was on top of it . i 'm not surprised you did n't see it . chelsea : really ? adam : yeah . chelsea : it was in there ? adam : yeah , it was shoved down deep in the side . chelsea : oh . adam : ... crack . chelsea : that 's crazy . my mind has been on a million i 'm sorry , sweetheart . adam : oh , no . come on . you do an amazing job juggling your career and connor . that 's -- chelsea : thank you . [ chuckles ] it 's not easy . adam : i 'm sure . i 'm sure it 's not easy . chelsea : actually , i asked you and you never answered me . adam : what 's that ? chelsea : do you h children ? adam : uh , do i have children ? no , uh , not at the moment . but , uh ... i do plan on having a little guy just like that in my life . hopefully soon . billy : well , fortunately , we do n't have to worry about adam influencing connor or any other kid . victoria : t think what you might have done to him if he had n't died in the car crash . billy : after what he did to dee dee , i would have been justified . victoria : it 's not worth doing prison time . billy : but he stole delia 's life from her , from me . and there 's no way i was gon na let him get away with that. > > victoria : you 're not that different from my dad when it comes to defending your family . billy : yeah , except that i go after the bad guys . your dad , on the other hand -- he 'd go after anybody who got in even your brother . victoria : nick ? billy : dylan . i went to visit him in the hospital , and he is convinced victor is behind the beating that he took . victoria : oh , come on . dad would -- billy : you and i both know that he would . he has . and in the past , i was around to protect you from the fallout , but now ... victoria : dad would never put me in danger . billy : maybe not intentionally . but when you mess with bad boys , bad things happen . victoria : yeah , you 're right . like tining buddies came after me . billy : those guys were amateurs , vick . nothing compared to the heavy hitters that your father is capable of hiring . victoria : oh , god . you are always gon na think the worst when it comes to my father . billy : okay , whatever with the things that your dad is doing now . i do n't care . but i care about you . i know that you 're with stitch now . if you ever need me , anytime , anywhere , i 'm there . joe : since when do you care about mcavoy ? victor : when i tell you that i 'll take care of it , okay ? joe : look , we both want the same thing -- the sale of the house district to go through . victor : i did not want him beaten up . joe : i heard it was a robbery . nothing to prove otherwise . victor : it better stay that way , okay ? i told everyone this was nothing personal , just business . do n't you make a liar out of me . joe : you know , who can separate his business and personal life . never been my strong suit . victor : well , you have a good day . phyllis : what 's the point of staying together if you do n't trust me ? unless you do n't want us to . jack : of course , i do . i 'm just trying to figure this out . phyllis : well , you 're trying to make sense of something that makes no sense . think about it . why would i go to the trouble of buying a wig and going to the florist and giving them my name ? i 'm not stupid , jack . jack : i know that . phyllis : well , then you have to believe me when i say that wig does n't belong to me . i 've never seen it before . i had nothing to do with ordering the roses and sending you and kelly messages so that you 'd end up in bed together . jack : i believe that you do n't think you 're lying to me . phyllis : what does that mean ? jack : is it possible that you forgot about the wig , that you forgot you hid it here , that -- phyllis : wait , wait . are you saying that i would actually hatch this plot , execute it , and forget about it ? jack : i 'm asking if it 's a possibility . phyllis : well , yeah , jack , i suppose so . if i were crazy . is that what you think -- that i 'm crazy ? jack : no , i do n't think you 're crazy . phyllis : but you think i did all the crazy things that kelly is accusing me of . jack : you have admitted to luring her to my office with my phone . phyllis : [ sighs ] i did one mildly mischievous thing in desperation , and you think i 'm a lunatic ? jack : no , i did n't say that . i 'm saying that between the fall and the coma and this treatment victor arranged for you , maybe something happened , some damage was done that we do n't know about . phyllis : jack , i just got back from a neurologist appointment . he ran a battery of tests . i - i had a brain scan . he said everything is normal . jack : there has to be some way to explain this . phyllis : well , there is . her name is kelly . jack : i 'm really supposed to believe that she broke in here and planted that ? phyllis : why not ? it 's too extreme ? jack : yes . honestly , too extreme . phyllis : okay , but me wearing it and buying roses so i could set you up with your ex - lover in bed is n't ? jack : of course it is . that sounds absolutely ridiculous . let 's drop the subject , all right ? i 'm gon na go to the office . phyllis : no , honey . no , i do n't want to leave things like this . jack : i have a meeting that i have to attend , and ... we 'll pick this up later , okay ? i promise you . everything 's gon na be okay . i promise . [ door opens , closes ] phyllis : [ scoffs ] hey , i - i need to see you . now . chelsea : if you need to refer to my designs while working on the marketing campaign ... adam : thank you for that , but i 'm not likely to forget what i saw here today . this collection is completely unique . it 's original . it 's fun . chelsea : oh , well , i hope our customers agree with you . adam : they will . they will . i know you said it 's difficult juggling connor and a career , but you make it look easy . chelsea : well , i have help -- my mom and billy . he really supports my career , and he 's so good with connor . adam : is he ? it 's got to be hard for him . chelsea : uh , well , he does n't complain . [ chuckles ] adam : no , but did n't you say that , uh -- that connor 's father is responsible for what happened to billy 's daughter ? chelsea : yeah . adam : it 's tragic . chelsea : tragic does n't begin to describe what billy and delia 's mother have had to go through . adam : it 's been difficult for you , too . chelsea : [ sighs ] you ca n't possibly imagine . adam : you 're right . it 's -- it 's got to be devastating , though , you know ? knowing that somebody that you love did something so terrible , knowing that , um ... you know , eventually , you 're gon na have to tell connor the truth about his father . chelsea : yeah , i 've been thinking a lot about that . adam : there 's no way to keep it from him . chelsea : i know , but it is important to me to make sure that connor knows there was so much more to his father than one terrible mistake . adam : a lot of people would n't feel that way . chelsea : well , a lot of people did n't know adam . adam : it sort of sounds like you forgive him . [ knock on door ] victor : hi , sweetheart . where 's little katherine ? victoria : she 's in the nursery . i need to talk to you , dad . victor : i assume you 've heard about the accusations hurled at your father . victoria : i do n't believe for one second that you had anything to do with dylan being beaten up . victor : i had nothing to do with that . victoria : but i am still upset . dad , how could you sell the property that crimson lights is sitting on ? that consortium will go in there and tear it down and redevelop the entire area . victor : [ sighs ] sweetheart , this is business , okay , pure and simple . victoria : yeah , so think of some other business -- one that does n't ... [ sighs ] hurt mom and dylan . victor : you know , i offered him a lot of money to relocate his business anywhere else . a lot of money . in fact , i have the settlement here . ah , he -- he turned it down . victoria : somehow , i just do n't think that that 's gon na make mom feel any better . there has to be a solution . maybe a different buyer who wo n't demolish all of the buildings . i do n't know . victor : there 's no time . this sale has to go through . victoria : why ? what 's the urgency ? victor : take a look at this . victoria : [ sighs ] i did n't realize that the situation was this serious . victor : i was hoping to offset some of the losses . victoria : which is why you 're selling the warehouse property . victor : that bonaventure deal was a massive financial mess , cost us a lot of money . victoria : daddy , i have an idea that might offset some of the losses ... and stick it to our archrival at the same time . victor : you do ? let me hear it . victoria : [ chuckles ] it 's a brash & sassy ! blast from the past . dylan : what did you get off the security cameras ? paul : just two guys in ski masks . we ran all the prints we could find , but we did n't get a hit on any of them . dylan : uh , what about the camera in the parking lot ? paul : got a possible make and model on the car and maybe a partial plate . avery : so not much . [ cell phone rings ] paul : but we are still questioning , uh , potential eyewitnesses . excuse me , will you ? yeah , chief williams . avery : can i talk to you , please ? dylan : yeah . [ sighs , sniffles ] avery : i love you . dylan : uh , you brought me out here to tell me that ? avery : and you know i support you 100 % . dylan : do n't know where this is going . avery : i think you need to take paul 's suggestion . dylan : still do n't know . avery : the other day , he said that he thought that you should step back and let someone else lead the fight against the warehouse district . dylan : and you disagreed . avery : i did , but i changed my mind . i 'm afraid for you . dylan : i just -- i ca n't . avery : why ? why not ? dylan : i ca n't back down . i ca n't . because it 's not me . i refuse to stand by while somebody tries to force me out of here . i refuse to be bullied . if i did n't fight for what -- for what i believe in and what i think is right , it just -- it would n't be me . avery : the man i fell in love with . dylan : then you understand . avery : oh , what ? that you 're determined ? and brave and stubborn . dylan : mm - hmm . all those things . yeah . avery : okay . dylan : yeah . joe : hello . dylan : what do you want ? joe : avery told me about the robbery . i just wanted to swing by , see if you 're okay . dylan : you went to see him after what happened to me ? avery : i thought he might be behind the attack . dylan : and what do you think ? joe : yeah , i 'd love to hear the answer to that , myself . avery : i 've always been a big believer in innocent until proven guilty . joe : good , because i 'm innocent . dylan : yeah , right . joe : look , your dad already sicced the cops on me . they did n't find one ounce of evidence that pointed in my direction . dylan : you know , paul has to follow police protocol to turn up any evidence . i do n't . joe : wow . is that a threat ? well , good luck with that . you know , i hope you catch these guys . it looks like you took a real beating . dylan : [ sighs ] was that call about the robbery ? paul : yeah , unfortunately , they have n't turned up anything . but i wanted you to take a look at the outdoor security footage and see if you recognize the car or anything about the perps . dylan : sure . avery : i 'm gon na leave you two . hey . we need to get something straight . that kiss you laid on me ... joe : what ? the one you did n't tell your fiancé about ? avery : it can never happen again . joe : and that 's why you did n't tell him it happened . avery : no , i did n't tell him about it because he just came out of the hospital and i do n't want him to re - injure himself when he beats the hell out of you . joe : wow . all this hostility . well , it must have riled something up in there inside of you , that passion that we shared . maybe it never died . avery : yeah , you know , i barely remember it . joe : remember that weekend we spent at the spa ? and we missed our couple 's massage . in fact , if my memory serves me correctly , i do n't think we even left our hotel suite that entire weekend . you remember that ? joe : well , we 're 45 minutes late to a 55-minute massage . avery : [ laughs ] joe : what do you say we sprint down there ? avery : oh , we have been married over a year , and yet , somehow , this still feels illegal . joe : oh , i 'm sure it is somewhere . avery : hey , wait . i am an officer of the court , mr. clark . i should n't be having so much fun breaking the law . joe : yeah , well , next time , i 'll bring the handcuffs . avery : oh , you are so bad . joe : and by bad , you mean ... avery : i was so , so good . promise me it 'll always be like this . we 'll always make time for each other . joe : you know you 're the most important thing in the world to me , right ? avery : am i ? joe : let me prove it to you . joe : well , i was right . i guess you do remember . victor : you want to revive the cosmetics line you launched when you first started working for me ? victoria : brash & sassy ! it was the first big assignment you ever gave me . victor : people did n't think you were up to it . victoria : well , i knew that a product targeting young girls would be a huge success . it was a market that had n't been tapped into yet . victor : and i knew then that you had a very good head for business . victoria : thank you . do you remember the logo that i victor : brilliant . victoria : i do n't know about brilliant . maybe lucky . victor : well ... victoria : but using my lips as a brand for the company sold a lot of cosmetics , and i really feel like we could have that o of success again , dad . victor : reviving legacy brands of reputable big companies , has been very profitable lately , has n't it ? victoria : mm - hmm . i already have some ideas for ways to put a 21st - century spin on the line . using a multi - platform marketing approach , i 'm gon na use all social media to let everybody out there know that brash & sassy ! is back . victor : let me know if there 's anything i can do to help , okay ? victoria : well , whatever jabot 's coming up with , we can give them some stiff competition . i 'm not worried about that . have you had any word about what it is they 're worried about ? victor : oh , some vague idea . some fragrant organic foundation , apparently . victoria : well , that does n't sound very innovative . victor : well , i ' there 's more to it than that . victoria : well , whatever they come up with , i can match it . victor : i need you to do it quickly . the chancellor part of newman - chancellor is in financial dire straits . the vultures are circling . speaking of which ... victoria : hi , jack . i 'm actually just leaving . jack : on your way out ? victoria : yeah . nice to see you . jack : well , i 'll , uh , see you at the christening , then . victoria : good . victor : what do you mean ? i - i -- victoria , i thought that you were keeping this party very small . jack : oh , then you have n't heard yet . jack : heard what ? victoria : jack is gon na be katherine 's godfather . jack : what ? chelsea : i would n't say i forgive adam . adam : no , i -- you know , of course -- of course not . how could you ? chelsea : but i - i do n't hate him , either . it 's just -- it 's just very complicated . adam : yeah , no , i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to bring up any painful memories . chelsea : no , it 's -- it 's -- it 's okay . it 's never really far from my mind -- delia 's accident , adam 's part in it . adam : i , uh , truly have to believe that it was more complicated than just a - a simple hit and run . chelsea : why do you say that ? adam : well , to do something like that and have no remorse , you 'd have to be a complete monster , and you ... you loved him , right ? so he could n't have been all bad . chelsea : he was n't . he actually , uh -- he made a video explaining what happened , and , um , he swore he never saw delia . adam : you believe him ? chelsea : [ sighs ] he was so broken over what happened -- the -- the pain and the heartbreak over this sweet little girl -- you could see it in his face , you know ? you could hear it in his voice . he was so tortured . adam : yeah . yeah , well , how could he not be , right ? chelsea : i feel for him . i still feel for him . and i -- and i believe him . i do . i - i - i - i truly think he did n't know he hit delia that night . i really think it was just a terrible , terrible accident . but ... adam : but what ? chelsea : covering it up was intentional . adam : i 'm sure he had his reasons for doing that . chelsea : he said he did n't want to lose me . he did n't want to lose his son , but the ironic thing is he ended up losing us anyway . you know , it 's so unfair , too , because he got to say everything that he needed to say , you know , but i did n't . i did n't get to ask any of the questions that i needed answer to , you know ? i still need answers . so , anyway , no . without those answers , i - i ca n't forgive him . adam : what if you could confront him -- your husband -- you know , and ask him all those questions , everything -- everything you wanted to ask him ? what if you could do that ? would you be able to forgive him then ? adam : i - i do n't know what i 'm thinking sometimes . i 'm sorry to put you on the spot like that . it 's obviously none of my business . chelsea : no , it 's okay . it 's -- it 's nice being able to talk about my husband . i think it helps that you never knew adam . most of the people in this town like to pretend he never existed . [ sighs ] adam : it 's got to be difficult , you know , trying to keep the memory of connor 's father alive and also honor delia 's memory . chelsea : delia was my best friend 's daughter . i loved chloe and i loved delia . but i loved adam , too . adam : it sounds like ... a part of you still does . chelsea : it 's just hard to separate what he did from who he was . we spent so much time together after delia died . i mean , he let billy and chloe donate delia 's corneas to connor . he knew how desperately they wanted to find the killer who killed their little girl , and he could have eased their pain , and he never said a word . he hurt so many people by not coming forward . adam : including you . chelsea : he did n't trust me or our love , apparently . adam : i 'm sure he regrets that . uh , i mean , i 'm sure that he is a tormented soul out there somewhere . chelsea : yeah , i do n't really believe in ghosts or spirits , but ... if there is such a thing , i 'm sure adam is wandering the earth with a lot of unfinished business . adam : you ever think about , uh ... what you 'd say to him if you saw him ? [ connor cries ] chelsea : oh . adam : hey , buddy . what 's wrong ? chelsea : was mommy neglecting you again ? adam : no . connor : daddy ! victor : why on earth would you choose jack abbott to be your child 's godfather ? victoria : [ sighs ] billy asked jack to stand up for katherine . but i have no objections . jack : and i am honored to be given such an important responsibility -- a responsibility , your father will tell you , i take quite seriously . victor : that baby is a newman . do n't you forget it , okay ? jack : she 's also an abbott . and i will be reminding my niece of that as well as being a positive role model for katherine 's namesake . victor : you , a positive role model ? give me a break . that 's laughable . victoria : [ sighs ] victor : why the hell did you choose him to have influence over your daughter 's life ? victoria : billy and i are trying to do what 's best for katherine , dad . that means allowing her to have both of her families involved in her life . victor : what the hell does billy abbott know ? nothing . victoria : i have to get to work . jack , it was very nice seeing you . jack : good seeing you , too . victoria : daddy , play nicely . jack : listen , you managed to deal with abby being an abbott and a newman all these years . you can do the same thing for kate . victor : what do you want ? i 'm sure you did n't come here to discuss familial bonds . jack : no , you 're right . i did n't . i came here to discuss what you did to my family . avery : your memory 's a little cloudy there , joe . you left out a few things . joe : you know what ? i did n't think it was necessary to fill in all the details . avery : oh , really ? because i remember very clearly what happened after that . joe : no , no . it 's -- it 's a good time . look , that was our final offer . no , no . we want the entire block . look , if you ca n't make this happen , we 'll find another location . yeah , i got to go . hey , brett . yeah , we 're close . no , it 'll work out fine . just trust me . avery : joe ... joe : babe , i got to take this . avery : joe , you promised you would n't work this weekend . joe : it 's just gon na take a minute . i promise . sorry , brett . yeah . avery : and that 's what i remember about our marriage . joe : okay , look , we had our problems , all right ? all couples do . but we could have worked them out if it were n't -- avery : what ? dylan ? joe : you ca n't deny he got between us . avery : dylan did not destroy our marriage . joe : if you would have just given me a chance to make things up to you -- avery : it 's too late . i 've moved on . you should , too . joe : i 've tried . avery : well , try harder . you said that you want to end this hurt . if you really mean that , you stop the attacks on dylan , you stay out of my life . joe : hey , i told you -- i do n't have any idea what happened here . and when i said i wanted to end the hurt , i wanted to end your hurt . avery : well , kissing me is not the way to do that . joe : well , if you change your mind , you know where to find me . phyllis : was that ... ? avery : it 's my ex - husband joe . phyllis : that 's who you dumped ? avery : okay , look , you said that you needed to speak to me . phyllis : yes . i - i do . look , i need your help to lock someone up . paul : all right . keep me posted . kevin is checking all the cars that you did not recognize , and i have a friend at the fbi who 's going to run all the dna evidence that we have recovered through their database to see if they get a hit . dylan : you 're pretty fired up about this case . paul : somebody tried to hurt my son . i 'm not gon na let them get away with it . dylan : i have a pretty good idea who that might be . paul : me , too . victoria : oh . hey . just the man i was looking for . um , i 'm sorry i did n't come to the hospital . how are you doing ? dylan : i 'm doing fine . thanks . victoria : good . um , am i interrupting something ? paul : we were just discussing the case . victoria : oh . and dad 's name came up . dylan : you sound surprised . victoria : well , i mean , he 's innocent . dylan : is he innocent of pulling a fast one on the sale of the warehouse district property , too ? victoria : look , dad may not have disclosed everything , but he would never hire anyone to beat you up . he would never do that . avery : there are no guarantees , if we get a restraining order against kelly , that she 'll violate it . phyllis : it 's worth a try . avery : but she has just as strong of a case of getting a restraining order against you , and maybe stronger . phyllis : hey . whose side are you on ? avery : i 'm just trying to give you the reality of the situation . from the eyes of the court , not in your head . look , we know that a blond woman named phyllis ordered the flowers , right ? but we have no proof that kelly planted the wig in your house . or that she sabotaged your car on new year 's eve . you , however -- you have admitted to taking jack 's phone and luring her back to his office , and you have , in front of witnesses , verbally attacked her at the club . so your actions -- you can be seen as a woman who 's emotionally unstable . phyllis : i am not crazy . avery : i know you 're not . phyllis : then we can not let this conniving witch get away with this . avery : okay , phyllis . i 'm really worried about you . if you do n't stop this , kelly can sue you for defamation of character . phyllis : oh , come on . she is trying to convince everyone that i am an unhinged , vindictive woman . and it 's working . she 's getting to jack . victor : if you have come here to blame me for your family 's trouble , you can go now . jack : not until you tell me about this experimental drug treatment that you had administered to phyllis . victor : you told me yesterday that phyllis was no longer my concern . jack : if anything has happened to her , it damn sure is your concern . victor : get to the point . jack : i want to know what drugs this doctor you bought pumped into phyllis . more important , i want to know if he mentioned any side effects . victor : he simply mentioned that this drug would get her out of the coma . and it did , did n't it ? jack : yes , so that you could get what you wanted from her -- sharon 's secret . that 's all you cared about . victor : phyllis is alive and well . out of her coma . that 's all you should be concerned about . ca n't you just accept that ? jack : that is not all i am concerned about . i want to know what you did to her . she is not the same woman i lost last year . adam : wow , uh , buddy ... [ chuckles ] i do n't -- i 'm sure he 's just confused as to who his dad is . billy : uh , no . connor 's not confused at all . chelsea : hi . billy : yeah , he saw me walk in . he was talking to me . chelsea : oh , that makes sense . adam : hmm . billy : yeah . little dude knows who his daddy is , do n't you ? adam : yeah , i 'm sure you 're right . i 'm sure he knows exactly who his dad is . avery : hey . paul find out anything more about who attacked you ? dylan : not yet . victoria was here . she was trying to convince me that it was n't victor . avery : and you think it is victor . dylan : and you think it 's joe ? you said that 's why you went to see him . avery : yeah , it is . dylan : did anything else happen between the two of you ? [ cell phone rings ] dylan : sorry . avery : yeah . dylan : hello ? hello ? who is this ? voice : [ distorted ] next time , you wo n't be so lucky . dylan : hello ? avery : what was it ? what did they say ? dylan : i do n't know . but this is far from over . billy : what are you doing here anyway , bingham ? should n't you be at the office working on that competitor analysis report that jack asked for ? adam : yeah , i finished it . so i just thought i would come over here and check out chelsea 's latest designs so i could start a marketing campaign for her . billy : do n't recall asking you to do that . adam : well , you did n't . i just want to stay ahead of the game , you know , do a really good job for you and jack . billy : super . how about you get my approval next time , huh ? adam : okay . billy : so , you two , uh , finished here ? chelsea : i think so . adam : yeah . just gon na gather my things and , uh , i 'll be out of here . i 'll e - mail you the proposal . billy : you can send that to me . i 'll need to approve that , too . adam : right . billy : right . excuse us . chelsea : and i will ask you once again -- what is your problem with him ? billy : look , i have been trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt . i have been . but -- chelsea : but what ? has he done something ? billy : no . nothing specific . it 's just -- chelsea : just what ? billy : [ sighs ] i do n't know , chels . i ca n't put my finger on it . chelsea : are you jealous ? because you do n't have to be . billy : of him ? no . chelsea : well , then ease up on the guy . give him a break . billy : [ sighs ] adam : hey . you 're smart , are n't you ? you know exactly who your daddy is . right ? soon everybody else will , too . victor : why are you asking this question ? phyllis was never the most stable person in the world . jack : phyllis has been mercurial , i know . this is different . victor : in what way different ? jack : i 'm not gon na get into the details with you . victor : then why the hell are you here ? jack : i want to know about this treatment phyllis underwent . i know it 's not approved in this country , which leads me to believe it 's potentially hazardous . victor : you 're determined to create a problem where there is none . jack : if you wo n't tell me what you know about these drugs , for my sake or phyllis ' , do it for the granddaughter you claim to love so much . do it for summer . victor : i 'll do it for summer . jack : what 's that ? victor : it 's the number of a dr. cutler -- the one who administered the drug to get phyllis out of her coma , okay ? he can answer your questions . you 're welcome , jack . [ next_on ] stitch : if you think i gave information to victoria , then just go ahead and fire me right now . devon : this was supposed to be our alone time away from everybody . hilary : lily could come out any second . phyllis : admit what you did or we go to war like you ca n't even imagine .

chelsea : i knew it was irrational . adam travels on business all the time . [ sighs ] but we 'd just gotten home from the hospital and seeing billy and victoria and the abbotts , and there were so many tears , so many goodbyes . [ sighs ] so something just felt off about the timing . it just felt like it was n't a good time for adam to leave town . and i had this really bad feeling driving home from the hospital . so i told him . i told him to stay , and he told me that i was worrying for nothing . and he kissed -- kissed me goodbye , and he left . sage : and that 's the last time you heard from him ? chelsea : yeah . sage : huh . chelsea : it 's really unlike adam . he always reaches out to me when he 's traveling , always . he 'll -- he 'll , you know , text me sweet messages . for him to leave when he knew i was really uneasy about it and then go radio silent ... no . it 's -- it 's -- something 's wrong . sage : yeah , i - i can really understand why you 'd think that . chelsea : i should 've held my ground , you know ? i should 've forced him to stay . adam thinks he can take care of himself , but he ca n't . he never should 've gotten involved in this stupid war between victor and the santoris in the first place . sage : honey , we do n't know all the facts , all right ? listen , for all of victor 's faults , i do n't believe for one second that he 'd put his son in harm 's way . chelsea : when victor feels like something 's threatening his precious company , he becomes vicious . someone has to suffer . it 's just never victor . natalie : that looks like -- mariah : a ransom note . in exchange for adam , they want -- natalie : `` the girl . `` who is that ? who 's valuable enough to trade for adam newman ? mariah : it 's you . natalie , the girl is you . natalie : [ scoffs ] me ? mariah : yes . you 're the reason why adam is missing . in exchange for adam , they want you and your billion - dollar project . natalie : oh , my god . i told you they 're after me . mariah : the people you stole money from . natalie : the people who bought my security program . mariah : which you did n't deliver because it 's `` still in beta , `` which basically means it does n't work -- not that that stopped you from keeping their money . natalie : they must have decided to get to me through victor by kidnapping his son . mariah : yeah , people tend to react badly when they feel that they 've been double crossed . natalie : stop talking . i need to think . [ sighs ] oh , this is bad . this is so bad . i have to get out of here . mariah : hey , no , no . no , you do n't . you 're not going anywhere . nick : what girl are you talking about ? victor : it 's a young lady just out of college . she was interviewing for a job . nick : okay . why is that something you and kevin would be discussing ? kevin : she 's in it . her résumé was out on the desk , so ... victor : son , i 'm surprised to see you . is everything all right ? nick : well , you tell me . chelsea came to me . she 's worried sick that adam 's mixed up into something dangerous . victor : kevin , would you kindly give us a moment ? kevin : sure thing . victor : uh , do n't stay away too long , all right ? kevin : mm - hmm . [ door shuts ] nick : dad , chelsea is convinced you know more than you 're saying . so i 'm asking you , as your son . do you know what happened to adam ? victor : what do you think , son ? noah : hey . come here . hey . what are you doing ? luca : finding out where marisa is . noah : my grandfather 's not gon na tell you anything . luca : i 'm not afraid of victor , all right ? i 'm not afraid of him . and i 'm sure as hell not gon na let him use my wife as collateral to get adam back . noah : you 're going about this the wrong way , okay ? luca : hey , what are you doing here ? kevin : i 'm handling something for victor , not that it 's any of your concern . luca : if you know where he 's holding her , you better tell me . kevin : i have no idea what you 're talking about . noah : marisa 's gone , kevin . she disappeared . kevin : and you think that victor -- noah : i do n't know . it 's a long story , one that can not go public . but maybe if you could quietly tap in to the company 's surveillance system , we could find out what happened , maybe find out where they took her ? kevin : i 'm sorry . i ca n't . luca : ca n't or wo n't ? kevin : look , after the whole paragon mess , victor had extra firewalls installed into the system that are tough to get through , even for me . besides , the new cameras had n't been installed the night of billy 's accident . i still do n't think they 're up . noah : okay , but there 's got to be -- kevin : i 'm sorry . i ca n't . luca : convenient , how the cameras are never on when victor and his family do n't want them to be . dylan : okay , i 'm , uh -- i 'm a little confused . sharon : becoming a cop -- that 's the last thing that i would want for you , dylan . that 's a dangerous line of work . dylan : right . okay . when i -- when i first told you i wanted to do this , you were very supportive . sharon : and then harding got shot . and then you told me that you 'd reconsidered . you 'd said you were becoming a father , and you did n't want to put your family 's futures at risk . dylan : i did . i did say that at the time , yes . sharon : and that was a huge relief to me . so why would you change your mind now , especially now that sully 's here ? dylan : i know all the reasons that i need to be safe , and everything that i have to come home to , you know ? but i realize that it 's just something that i have to do . i need to do this . and i thought you would understand . sharon : no , i do n't . i do n't understand . i do n't like it . stitch : we 're gon na be working together , so let 's table all the discussion of love and just stick to business , okay ? abby : and why is that ? stitch : 'cause i do n't think you know anything about love , abby . abby : i 've been in love before , stitch . stitch : you say that , but , come on . how can that be true ? devon : abby . abby : devon , hey . devon : hey . abby : hey . [ chuckles ] standing there , i thought you were gon na tell me the specials . did you really cut back on the staff that much ? devon : that 's funny . no , i 'm not your waiter . abby : well , thank god , because i would n't know what to tip a billionaire . devon : ah , well , i just wanted to come over and say hi , but it looks like you 're busy . abby : this ? no , no . please , sit down . devon : you sure ? abby : yes . devon : these high - level operations you got going on here -- it 's intense . abby : no , it 's just some logistics reports . it 's nothing . devon : yeah ? abby : yeah . devon : look at you . this stuff 's , like , easy for you now , right ? miss coo . of the year over here . abby : oh , yeah , yeah . you know , lots of hard work and effort and , um ... no , i am not even thinking about this right now . this is just so boring . devon : well , that 's not good . you should , uh -- you should come work for us . abby : here , at the club ? yeah , i do n't know if you 're aware , but , um , customer service -- not really my thing . devon : you 're not exactly a `` the customer 's always right `` type of woman . abby : no , because usually , the customer is an idiot . devon : okay . okay . [ both laugh ] devon : nah , i was n't talking about the club . i was talking about , uh , our new venture with dr. neville and your mom . abby : oh . medical research . um ... yeah , i 'm not really qualified for that , but , uh , i guess that has n't stopped me before . devon : exactly , so you should at least think about it . abby : yeah . yeah . i mean , it would be fun to work with my mom , but , um ... i 'm kind of committed to newman right now . devon : you just said that stuff 's boring . abby : sometimes , yes . [ chuckles ] but i like working with victoria and my dad . devon : well , all i know is when i walked over here , whatever you were working on looked like it was giving you a headache , so , i mean , if that 's what you want out of a job ... abby : no . um ... actually , i - i was n't thinking about this . i was , um ... i was looking at that table over there . i was thinking about something . devon : why ? what about the table ? abby : about a year and a half ago , um , at that table right there , someone told me that i did n't know anything about love . devon : who told you that you did n't know anything about love ? was it a guy ? abby : yes , it was a guy . [ both laugh ] devon : and what did you do to this guy ? how 'd you respond ? abby : um ... i married him . mariah : you ca n't bail now . kevin and i stuck our necks out trying to keep you safe to help get your project off the ground . natalie : i know you 're not doing it out of the goodness of your heart . you 're in it for the money . that 's all anyone 's in it for . mariah : not kevin . he believes in the idea . he believes in you , natalie . he promised victor newman a fully functional program . if you disappear now , you 're gon na be putting him in a terrible , terrible position , not to mention you are gon na make victor newman furious . and take it from somebody who used to be one of his minions . that is not a guy you want to see furious . natalie : i had no intention of doing that . i 'm sure i could find a way to handle things with victor . mariah : [ sighs ] trust me , sweetheart . you are way out of your league . noah : what 's that supposed to mean , the comment about the cameras ? luca : of course victor would cover his tracks . that 's why i need to speak to the man , see what i can get out of him . noah : listen , luca . i know my grandfather . he 's not gon na tell you a damn thing , okay ? and he 's certainly not going to admit he had anything to do with marisa 's disappearance . it 'd be the only leverage he would have for getting adam back . luca : okay , so , then , what do you suggest ? noah : i suggest we go somewhere else . my grandfather sees you right now , it 's just gon na antagonize him . it 'd be bad for you , bad for marisa . go somewhere private and call your father . you find out when the exchange is taking place . luca : no , i already told you . my father is n't responsible for any of this . noah : that 's your opinion . luca : no , no , no . it 's the truth , noah . noah : only one way to find out , luca . you coming or not ? victor : i assure you , chelsea is overreacting . nick : that 's not like her . victor : son , she 's letting her emotions run away with her , all right ? adam has n't answered her texts or her phone calls or whatever , so now she thinks the worst , probably because of billy abbott . nick : well , it seems to me chelsea has reason to question what 's going on . it 's not like adam to stay so out of touch . he has n't called . he has n't texted -- nothing . victor : that does n't mean that adam is missing . nick : have you talked to him ? victor : i 've talked to the people that he is meeting with , all right ? nick : the santoris . victor : why the hell did chelsea bring you into this ? i asked her not to over- dramatize things . why is she doing this ? nick : you make it sound like we 're trying to create problems . that 's not the case . look , dad . if you and adam are in some trouble , then tell me . let me help . victor : son , i told you . there 's nothing to worry about , but thank you for your concern . now please kindly convey that to chelsea . nick : so , in other words , just stay out of it . victor : nicholas , did n't you and i talk about the fact that you should devote your time now to your marriage and heal that ? i mean , you and sage have gone through a lot . do n't concern yourself with adam 's situation . it will be resolved . then he 'll come back . i guarantee it . sage : did you hear from your father ? nick : yeah , it was kind of the usual -- kind of like talking to a wall . i 'm sorry , chelsea . i tried , but i could n't get anything out of him . chelsea : victor would n't tell you anything ? any little detail might help , nick . nick : when i walked in , he and kevin were talking , and they mentioned `` the girl , `` uh , whatever that means . chelsea : who were they talking about ? nick : i do n't know . dad quickly changed the subject and tried to explain it . and honestly , i could n't even tell if it was important or not . then i asked dad about adam and the santoris , and he just said that adam was away on business , he was very busy , and that we should definitely try and stay out of it . chelsea : like hell i will . nick : i 'm sorry -- [ sighs ] sage : [ sighs ] i 'm really worried about adam , too . i mean , i know she 's got the police on it . somebody 's bound to figure out where he is . she 's certainly not gon na give up until she finds him . but maybe he 'll call her and have a good explanation for why she has n't heard from him . nick : i hope you 're right . you know , in the beginning , when dad kind of froze me out of newman enterprises , i was , uh ... i resented it . sage : mm - hmm . yeah . how you feel about that now ? nick : now i 'm just glad i 'm out of there . sage : [ laughs ] yeah . nick : got a lot of free time . i can focus on you . in fact ... sage : stop . nick : ... what are you doing later ? you want to go on a date with me ? sage : ooh , a date ? well , then , uh , what do you have in mind ? you 've got to be kidding me . natalie : how did this happen , all these ruthless people coming after me ? mariah : will you relax ? this does n't have to be a disaster . natalie : i have people who are willing to kidnap a billionaire 's son to get their hands on me so that i 'll honor our deal . then there 's victor newman on the other side , who you 've basically said is the prince of darkness . and he thinks it 's his deal . how is that not a disaster ? mariah : we will figure a way out of this . victor newman can either be your best friend or your worst enemy . and you have something that he wants . so the best way to get on his good side is to give the man a return on his investment . natalie : how the hell am i supposed to do that when my program 's all glitched up ? mariah : get back to work and un - glitch it . natalie : [ sighs ] mariah : [ sighs ] victor : i need you to trace the origin of that e - mail , all right ? i know the santoris are holding adam , but i need to know where before i make the trade . kevin : you mean trade `` the girl . `` who is she , by the way ? victor : marisa . luca 's parents do not like her . they want her out of their son 's life . kevin : so you 're just gon na hand her over just like that ? victor : i want my son back . got a problem with that ? kevin : no , of course not . but what if it 's not luca 's family ? what if it 's somebody else ? uh , with all due respect , you -- you have other enemies . victor : would you kindly trace the e - mail ? kevin : yeah . this e - mail is encrypted . this could take some time . victor : kevin ! kevin : okay . you know what ? i will make a copy of it so i can keep working on it . victor : please make it happen , all right ? i ca n't stall these people for much longer . kevin : okay . i 've got it . dylan : after working with paul unofficially , i just -- i just realized that i have to do something that i feel passionate about , you know ? i have so many skills that never come into play running a coffee shop . sharon : at least you know you 're gon na come home every night in one piece . does n't that mean something ? dylan : of course , yeah . but ... you know , working with my dad , just , uh , making paul proud , earning his respect -- you know , that means a lot to me , too . i know he was nervous , letting me work some cases at first . but now he finally trusts me to work alongside him . and i just want to do everything in my power to prove to paul that i am worthy of that trust . sharon : i understand that . i do . it 's just ... after everything we 've been through , everything that it 's taken to get to where we are now , and -- and i do n't want to become one of those women who are home every night with their baby , wondering if her husband 's gon na make it home alive . [ knock on door ] [ sighs ] hold that thought . chelsea , this is a surprise . what 's going on ? chelsea : adam 's missing , possibly kidnapped . so i need your husband . chelsea : i have some information i need to share with you . sharon : this is the case you 're helping paul with ? dylan : yeah , i was gon na tell you about it , but we -- we kind of got sidetracked . chelsea : nick , he -- he tried to get victor to reveal what he knows about adam 's kidnapping . sharon : wait . i do n't understand . if adam 's been kidnapped , why would n't victor just come forward with anything he knew ? chelsea : well , because victor -- it 's mostly his fault that adam 's in danger in the first place . dylan : what -- what did nick find out ? chelsea : well , victor kept up the charade that adam 's fine . i should n't be worried . but nick -- he overheard something . dylan : which was what ? chelsea : when he walked in , victor was talking about , uh , some girl , `` the girl . `` but then they -- they clammed up when nick walked in , so -- sharon : who 's this girl ? w - what does she have to do with adam ? chelsea : well , victor made up some nonsense story , and nick did n't believe him . that 's why i 'm here . i need some answers . dylan : yeah , okay . you said `` they `` clammed up . who was victor discussing it with ? chelsea : kevin . he was in the office when nick walked in . natalie : mariah said i 'm the girl in the ransom note ? kevin : mariah 's right . mariah : she 's been freaking out ever since . i keep telling her to chill . kevin : you 're safe , i promise ... for now . natalie : for now ? that does n't sound safe at all . kevin : we just have to be smart about this . natalie : and i 'm supposed to just take your word for that after what i saw on victor 's computer ? kevin : he thinks the santoris are behind this , and they want marisa . natalie : who ? mariah : seriously ? kevin : he had her detained by some of his men , and he 's planning on handing her over in exchange for adam . and he thinks it 's santori 's men he 's gon na give her to . natalie : which it 's not . mariah : w - what happens when these guys realize that marisa is n't the girl they 're after ? kevin : nothing good . mariah : so what are we gon na do ? kevin : well , i found a way to buy us some time with victor -- mariah : buying time is n't the answer here , kevin . you 've got to stop him from going through with this . if you do n't say something quick , there 's no telling what could happen to adam and marisa . you have got to tell victor that he 's got it wrong before he puts her on a plane . natalie : what -- so now you want to just hand me over ? do n't i get a vote ? kevin : okay , calm down . no one 's handing you over . we 're gon na keep you stashed here , okay ? you 're gon na keep working on your program . you 're gon na get the glitches worked out , and -- [ cell phone ringing ] kevin : hang on . hello ? dylan : hey , meet me at the station as soon as you can . kevin : i 'm on my way . i have to get to work . i 'm counting on you to look after natalie . keep her safe . keep her calm until we get this all worked out , okay ? [ both sigh ] [ door shuts ] dylan : i 'm anxious to hear what kevin has to say about the situation with adam . sharon : what makes you think kevin will know anything ? dylan : well , i asked him to do some digging to see if he could figure out what victor 's involvement is . i mean , he might not know who the girl is , but he 'll know if it 's important . chelsea : oh , god . i hope he finds something . dylan : yeah . me , too . chelsea : do you need a ride to the station ? dylan : no , i 'm good . i 'm gon na take my car . sharon : uh , stop . i 'm not letting you leave here so you can confront victor . mariah : would you like me to order some more wine ? would that get your creative juices flowing ? because i 'm not opposed to day - drinking , especially on a day like this . [ thump ] natalie : what was that ? mariah : oh , i do n't know . maybe it was a zombie hit man with a submachine gun . natalie : are you still trying to be nice , or are you being intentionally cruel now ? mariah : relax . it was probably a room service cart just hitting the wall , okay ? natalie : or it was the people who are after me . mariah : would you like me to go check ? natalie : yes . check . i 'll stay here . mariah : fine . i will go check , but keep working . when i get back , i want to hear keys clacking . [ chuckles ] all right . there 's nothing to worry about . it was just a kid bouncing -- natalie ? natalie ? ! damn it ! devon : so stitch is the guy that told you you do n't know anything about love ? abby : mm - hmm . devon : that 's kind of funny , actually . was n't i here that day ? abby : yes , you were . and , um , i talked to you after . devon : that 's right . you asked me what love feels like . abby : mm - hmm . and do you remember what you said ? devon : uh , yeah . i do . i said something about it has the ability to toss you around like a rag doll . abby : yes , and you said that if you could find someone to catch you after you 've been tossed around , that that 's what love was . and i remember it meant something to me . devon : well ... abby : but i thought that you were talking about roxy . but you were n't , were you ? devon : no , i was n't . i sure was n't . i was talking about hilary . abby : you were having an affair with your father 's wife . devon : hey , now . abby : wow . scandalous ! [ both laugh ] devon : you -- you did something -- you slept with your niece 's husband , did n't you ? abby : me ? no . yes . but we have all made mistakes . devon : a few , yeah . abby : but tell me . what do you think love feels like ? devon : again ? abby : yes , i am serious . devon : um ... abby : look , i know we 're in different spots in our life now . you 've been married . i 'm married . but ... i mean , is love the same ? is love different ? devon : no . no . love is -- love is the same . um ... we 're different . the situation is different . you know ? i , uh -- i do n't have anybody to catch me now . abby : she 'll come back to you ... once she remembers what you had . devon : maybe she will . but what about stitch ? i mean , he seems like the kind of guy who would be there to catch you . abby : he is . but ... ca n't catch everybody . sage : okay , she has n't seen us , so let 's just get out of here and get a jump on this romantic evening thing , please ? dr. anderson : hi . [ chuckles ] nick : hey . dr. anderson : wow . what a coincidence , running into each other . sage : is it ? nick : uh , you know , not really . i mean , it 's not the biggest town in the world , and this place does have the best coffee . dr. anderson : that 's true . hey , did n't you and sharon used to own this place ? sage : [ chuckles ] nick : we did . dr. anderson : ah . it 's , uh -- it 's nice to see you two out and about . how are things going ? sage : we 're great . we 're real great . we 're gon na continue to be great if you just stay the hell out of our lives . dr. anderson : i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to ... please , forgive me . sage : yeah . [ scoffs ] nick : what was that ? sage : what are you looking at me like that for ? you know how i feel about that woman . nick , look . you have n't wanted to see the situation for what it really is . but , honey , you got to open up your eyes . nick : can you just try and relax ? sage : do n't . do n't tell me to relax , honey . i have every right to be upset , okay ? this is n't me being unstable or hypersensitive or all those other things that she tells you about me . [ sighs ] okay , sharon thinks that she walks on water , but sharon is her patient . and that 's fine . apparently , she 's getting better under her care . but you and i are not her patients . and yet she 's nosing around in our business , giving us all this good advice , and none of it ever does any good . nick : okay , so , do you think dr. anderson is conspiring against us ? sage : you ca n't tell me that you do n't feel that a little bit . i mean , `` you and sharon , uh , used to own this place together `` ? what the heck was that ? [ chuckles ] i mean , everywhere we go , we see her . nick : all right , that 's definitely a bit of an exaggeration . sage : okay , i never even saw this woman before she started treating sharon , and now i see her everywhere . that 's not a coincidence , is it ? nick : maybe it 's because we did n't know her then . and now you do , it just seems like she 's everywhere . sage : okay , that is crazy , by the way . and you 're making excuses . nick : no . no , i 'm trying to come up with an explanation that will satisfy you . sage : [ chuckling ] ohh . i love you , but the woman is always around us , nick . she 's always around you , and she 's badmouthing me to you . i mean , it 's like she wants to come in between our relationship or something , which is totally strange . nick : why would dr. anderson want to do that ? sage : how would i know ? you 're asking the wrong person , here , honey . i 'm your wife , okay ? and there 's something up with that . and if you 're not interested in finding out what that is , then i 'm gon na do it , okay ? nick : uh ... dylan : victor does n't intimidate me . sharon : well , he should . dylan : okay . but paul entrusted me with this case . i ca n't worry about how victor or anybody else is gon na react to the investigation . sharon : i can tell you exactly how victor 's going to react . chelsea : sharon , please . adam is in trouble . i thought you of all people would want to make sure he gets home safe . sharon : yeah . of course . chelsea : dylan can help get to the bottom of all this . he may be the only person who can . dylan : i got to do this , okay ? i 'll be in touch as soon as i can , okay ? chelsea : [ sighs ] sharon : chelsea ! you do n't give a damn about anyone else . all you care about is getting what you want . chelsea : excuse me ? sharon : oh , what does it matter if dylan walks straight into victor 's buzzsaw ? chelsea : my husband is missing , sharon . i just want him home safe . victor refused to be straight with me , so dylan was my only other option . sharon : and you knew because he 's such a good man that he could n't refuse you . you played into his sympathies . you said all the right words , even with me -- reminding me of my feelings for adam . chelsea : where is all this coming from ? sharon : i remember the kind of person you used to be . i did n't forget . maybe everyone else did . but i remember when you manipulated dylan into getting what you wanted , and that was a father for connor . and now you 're being the same selfish person you used to be then . chelsea : okay . dylan insisted on helping me . i asked him for help . he jumped right in . this is n't about me , sharon . this is about you and dylan . noah : good to see you finally listening to reason , luca . luca : i 'm not interested in your opinion of me . all i care about is marisa . go up and check the suite . see if she 's back . while you 're doing that , i 'll call my father . mariah : [ sighs ] noah : whoa , hey . mariah : oh . noah : what 's the rush ? mariah : i 'm just trying to get down the stairs . hi . bye . noah : whoa , whoa . wait . hold up . mariah : noah , please . noah : w - what 's wrong ? and do n't say nothing , okay ? i know you do n't like to run . you were just sprinting down these steps . mariah : i 'm just really in a hurry . that 's all . noah : okay . why ? mariah : please ! noah : look . i 'm sorry i have n't been the world 's greatest brother lately , but that does n't mean i do n't care , okay ? tell me what 's going on . come on . talk to me . marisa : [ grunts softly ] [ gasps ] hello ? who 's there ? [ grunts ] who are you ? [ breathing heavily ] where am i ? mariah : everything 's fine . i 'm just spazzing because i had to cancel an appointment at the spa . noah : spa ? really ? okay . you in that big of a hurry to go get a facial ? mariah : uh , sharon gave me a gift card for my birthday . but i remembered that i had to be at the underground for a delivery , so i 'm headed there now . it 's stupid . anyway , i 've , uh -- i 've really got to go . i 'm sorry . devon : what exactly do you mean by , uh , stitch ca n't be there to catch everyone ? abby : i just mean that , uh , there are other people who need him that need him more than i do ... like his son . he 's here from another country , and his mom just passed away , which means that -- devon : geez . abby : yeah , i have to take a back seat . and you know me . i do n't like to take a back seat to anyone . devon : yeah . i think you will , though , this time . abby : mm . you ca n't be too sure about that . devon : no , i can . i think that you 're at a place in your life where you realize you 've found something real . and , you know , you 'll -- you 'll do anything you have to to keep it , even if that means taking a back seat from time to time . abby : is that true for you , too ? devon : you talking about hilary ? um , i - i do n't know . i do n't -- i 'm not -- i 'm not sure . it 's kind of complicated . abby : well , i bet you regret sitting down to talk to me right about now . [ both laugh ] devon : no , i do n't . i do n't . i mean , i thought i was gon na come over here and just say hi . i did n't think it would turn into such an intense conversation , but -- abby : yeah . we were a mess a year and a half ago , and we 're still a mess right now . devon : yeah . abby : so i think it 's about time we figure this out . devon : yeah . abby : but , please , do n't be a stranger . do n't wait so long to catch up . devon : it 's more than a deal . and , uh , make sure you think about what i said about the job . abby : i will . devon : yeah ? abby : mm - hmm . devon : okay . i 'll see you later . abby : all right . bye . devon : bye . abby : [ sighs ] dylan : i know you were with victor . tell me about this girl that you were discussing . chelsea has a feeling that it might be tied to what 's going on with adam . did victor tell you more than he told nick ? kevin : it 's not what victor knows . it 's what i know . dylan : all right . go on . kevin : victor 's missing a huge piece of information . he thinks he understands who the girl is , but he 's wrong . chelsea : look . i obviously stepped in the middle of something going on between you and dylan , okay ? i apologize . you think you 'd know by now you ca n't change people . sharon : oh , well , that 's ironic , coming from you . you -- you never tried to change adam ? you never asked him to leave victor or leave newman ? or did n't you once ask him to run off to paris with you and connor ? because i seem to remember that was your idea . chelsea : that 's fair . i guess it 's easier to dish out advice than it is to take it . sharon : glad you recognize that . chelsea : [ sighs ] all i care about right now , sharon , is getting adam home . i just wish he had stayed put and listened to me , but ... i guess he had to do what he had to do ... although i 'm certainly gon na let him have it when he gets back . sharon : well , i 'd say he deserves it . chelsea : my point is i 'm sorry i interrupted what was going on with you and dylan . but no matter what , he 's going to be fine . victor would never let him get hurt . [ chuckling ] he 'd have -- he 'd have nikki to deal with . sharon : nikki . yeah . now , there 's a woman who has spent her whole life trying to change her husband . chelsea : good luck . sharon : and it 's not that i want to change dylan . it 's just ... [ baby crying ] sharon : [ sighs ] looks like my son 's trying to speak for me . chelsea : they sometimes have a way of knowing when things are n't right in the world . sharon : everything 's been so perfect since sully and i came home . we 've all been so good and happy and safe , and i - i do n't want that to change . chelsea : and you think it 's going to change with dylan joining the force ? dr. anderson : nick . nick : oh . i did n't , uh , expect you to come back here . dr. anderson : i came in to buy coffee beans . never got the chance to buy them , so here i am . where 's sage ? nick : uh , she left . we had a disagreement . dr. anderson : i hope it was n't about me . nick : actually , it was . dr. anderson : i 'm sorry to hear that . i know , um , sage has n't welcomed my advice or concern . she does n't want to acknowledge she 's still struggling with the loss of her child , so i 'm the bad guy for bringing it up . the transference is not unexpected . nick : uh , sorry about that . dr. anderson : i can handle it . believe me , in my career , i 've had worse . [ chuckles ] nick : yeah , i think sage is just having a hard time understanding how our personal life is any of your business . dr. anderson : well , at first , i was just looking out for sharon . but along the way , i 've come to care for sage -- about both of you . nick : sage seems to think you only care about me . dr. anderson : anytime i 've reached out to you , it 's because i 've been concerned about sharon or sage ... and [ sighs ] and -- and yes , about you , as well . you 've had to endure so much . i just wanted to help you , nick . nick : that 's all there is to it ? dr. anderson : yes ! absolutely . nick : see , sandy , i want to believe you . and maybe it 's just because you 've gone so far above and beyond in your duties as sharon 's therapist . but you 're always so quick to offer me a sympathetic ear when i need one , or offer me some advice whenever you just happen to run into me . like right now -- i mean , you did n't just come back here for coffee , right ? please admit it . you came back here because you were hoping to run into me alone . dr. anderson : [ scoffs ] t - t - that 's preposterous . nick : is it ? see , i 'm starting to think sage is right . you do have an agenda . and i want to know what it is . sage : hi , nurse . i 'm hoping you can help me . nurse : i 'll try . what does this concern ? sage : dr. sandy anderson . i would love to see her credentials , maybe learn a little bit more about her background . you know , any information you can give me would be really helpful . chelsea : they are so precious when they 're this age . [ chuckling ] hi . sharon : [ laughs ] chelsea : hi . sharon : sounds like maybe you want another one . chelsea : uh ... well , adam and i , we 've -- we 've been talking about it . sharon : you know , i 'm sorry about before . um , i should 've been more sensitive to what you 're going through . chelsea : it 's okay , sharon . sharon : adam 's a survivor , more than anyone else i know , chelsea . chelsea : i just need dylan to find him and bring him home . luca : marisa 's not in our room ? noah : how 'd it go with your father ? luca : as expected . the santoris are not the ones holding adam , asking for marisa in exchange . noah : well , would he admit it , even if they were ? luca : look , my father is ruthless , but he 's no fool . he wants to be in business with victor newman . why risk that by kidnapping victor 's son ? what purpose would that serve ? noah : well , if that is true , we need to figure out a way to make my grandfather let marisa go , even if that means going to the police . marisa : help . help ! somebody help me ! [ breathing heavily ] please ! kevin : `` the girl `` is natalie , not marisa . victor 's about to make a bad mistake . dylan : [ sighs ] okay . so , uh , natalie , computer whiz from switzerland these people want to ransom adam for -- i mean , what is she worth ? kevin : her idea is worth billions . dylan : well , is it on her computer ? is it a hard drive ? what ? kevin : it 's in her head . dylan : in her head . okay . where is she right now ? kevin : she 's in a hotel where nobody can get to her . hey , what are you doing here ? mariah : hi . i need to talk to you in private . kevin : oh , if this is about our friend , you can talk in front of dylan . i 've brought him up to speed . mariah : okay , well , i wish our hacker buddy was willing to wait and see how things played out . kevin : what are you talking about ? mariah : she 's gone . natalie ran out on me . victor : get the girl ready to move . natalie : you have the wrong girl . victor : who are you ? [ next_on ] nick : we should talk about this . sage : talk about what ? nick : dr. anderson . dylan : when were you planning on notifying the police about adam 's kidnapping ? mariah : she sold the project twice ! victor is going to find out , and then he 's gon na come after us .

devon : go for it . devon : i 'm gon na tell you the same thing that i told hilary . i do n't want to dwell on new year 's eve and what happened with the wreck that night and everything else . it 's over . it does n't matter . and we 're moving on , okay ? mariah : i know , i know . hilary told me . but i really , really need you to listen to me . devon : go for it . mariah : ever since the accident , i have been blaming myself over choosing a terrible time to try and get revenge on hilary . it was stupid . i am embarrassed for how i acted . look , i did n't think that the whole teleprompter thing would be -- devon : teleprompter thing ? mariah : yeah , the one that hilary was using at the gala . look , i - i know that there are some things that you do n't remember from that night , but now that hilary 's filled you in , i really , really would like to apologize . i should n't have changed the copy the way that i did . it was nasty and it was mean . i do n't know , i guess i thought it would be cool to trick hilary into making a public confession about tripping me on the show that day . but it was n't cool . i felt gross afterwards , and then i heard about the crash . and , devon , we could have lost you , and it would have been my fault . jack : hey . what 's wrong ? is there some kind of glitch with the program ? ashley : you know what ? you 're the glitch . why did you go after fenmore 's , anyway ? why were you so determined ? are you bored because you 're not butting heads with victor anymore ? jack : whoa , whoa , why are you yelling at me ? ashley : because you went after fenmore 's , jack , and you provoked phyllis in the process . now , maybe she 's not working at jabot anymore , but she 's not done inflicting damage on this company . and if she manages to steal ravi from us , i blame you . kevin : i 'm sorry , paul . if anything happens to dylan , i wo n't be able to forgive myself . paul : i know , kevin . i could say the same thing . let 's just back up for a moment and see if we can piece this whole thing together . kevin : okay , um , sharon came here yesterday , and she was determined to contact dylan . i said no , absolutely not . and then i had to step out . i told you it was an emergency . i was only gone a few minutes . but the phone was in here . paul : out in the open ? kevin : no , it was in your drawer . paul : she went into my desk ? kevin : she must have . the good news is , according to the log , the call did n't last long . it was less than 60 seconds . paul : that 's because fisk 's second in command grabbed the phone . you know , we 're lucky sharon did n't blow his cover right then and there . she could have called him by name , announced that his wife was on the phone . kevin : so dylan did n't know that it was sharon who called ? paul : no , because it was a woman 's voice , he assumed it was chris . and i do n't want him to know the truth , because if he thinks that sharon ca n't cope with this , he 's not gon na be able to focus on this job , and that could cost him everything . you understand ? kevin : mm - hmm . but if sharon were willing to go this far this time -- paul : no , there 's not gon na be a next time . i 'll see to that right now . dylan : just keep it safe for me , okay ? sharon : dylan . tell me that you 'll be back soon . tell me that you 're coming home . [ muffles ] fisk : i 'm tired of waiting . [ muffles ] fisk : i just want answers . i got someone to deal with . dylan : i did n't plan on doing this in front of an audience . why do n't you cut this guy loose so we can get down to business ? [ groans ] [ coughs ] fisk : how did strayner get that information ? just tell me . [ gasping ] i did n't have a choice ! he blackmailed me ! fisk : you had a choice . but you made the wrong one . [ muffled shouting ] fisk : there . no audience . derek , it 's good to meet you . [ gunshot ] dylan : was that for my benefit ? because if it was , it really was n't necessary . this is n't my first rodeo . fisk : good for you . now , let 's get on with it , then . dylan : i got the cash . your girl friday here can vouch for that . alex : fisk is up to speed on the details . dylan : okay . well , my boss is all about the details . and he just wants to know what he 's getting . he wants to be clear about that supply chain , delivery dates , even the name on the boat . fisk : well , you 're paying for product , not information . dylan : the product is n't in the room , is it ? no . which means i 'll be acting in good faith when i hand this over . and my boss does n't deal in good faith . he wants details . fisk : well , he 's not my boss , is he ? [ laughs ] you know , i can find another buyer , one who does n't make demands . dylan : all right . good luck with that . no details , no deal . fisk : wait ! you 'll get them when it 's time . dylan : no , the time is now . i 've proven you can trust me . fisk : well , alex may think so . i 'm not convinced . paul : hey , sharon . sharon : paul , hi . um , could i call you later ? i - i was just about to drop some things off at the main house . faith has an overnight trip with her class . paul : this wo n't take long . i promise you . i , uh , told dylan that i would check up on you every now and then to make sure you 're okay . um , listen , kevin tells me that you stopped by the station . sharon : yes , i did , because you wo n't tell me anything . paul : well , and you know it is for your own good and for dylan 's safety . sharon : how do i know dylan 's safe ? how do i know that he 's okay ? i do n't even know where he is , how long he 's gon na be gone , who these people are he 's dealing with , what they 'll expect of him . paul : sharon , you know everything that 's important . you know that dylan 's smart , he 's careful , and he 's well - trained . and look , i - i realize how hard it is to stay calm . sharon : no , it 's not hard ! it 's impossible ! you get reports ! you probably even get to talk to dylan ! but i get nothing ! you know , if i could just hear his voice and i would know that he was all right . paul : is that why you risked blowing his cover ? is that why you risked everything ? so you could call him and hear his voice ? michael : bam . kevin : what is this ? michael : tickets to the cavaliers versus bucks . kevin : why ? are these strings ? you want gloria to live with me forever . nope . take them back . wait . now take them back . michael : this is not a bribe . it 's a thank - you . nothing more . you opened your home to gloria . kevin : and it 's been going swell , really . thanks for basically giving me no choice . michael : but you 're handling it so well . even paying for yoga classes at the club for her . brilliant . kevin : well , we told her we wanted her to stay lithe and limber for suitors . then i dunked my head in bleach . michael : for a good cause . family harmony . kevin : oh , yeah , my home is incredibly harmonious with gloria and chloe . you know what , these tickets will help , though , or at least get me out of the house for the night . michael : mm - hmm . phyllis : hey . your office said i 'd find you here . you have a minute ? kevin : will you please take him off my hands ? i 've got some business i have to monitor . the longer gloria stays with me , the more of these i 'm gon na need . michael : [ chuckles ] [ chuckles ] what ? everything okay ? you tracking me down for a face - to - face makes me nervous . phyllis : maybe i just came by to say hi . michael : do you need me as a lawyer or a friend ? phyllis : definitely both . ashley : first i find phyllis in her old office chatting up ravi . and then i find them at top of the tower , where she 's been wining and dining him . and remember , she understands computers . she speaks ravi 's language . jack : okay , she took him to lunch . they had a conversation . what else did phyllis do specifically ? ashley : what else did she do ? are you kidding me ? she plays upon his ego and his -- his innocence . he had no idea she was trying to poach him over to fenmore 's . jack : well , if he did n't know , he did n't know . i hope you were n't too hard on him . ashley : i had every reason to be angry , jack . ravi claims that he understands and he feels awful and he says he has no intention of leaving jabot . jack : wait , why would he have to ? hello . ashley : hi . ravi : hi . look , you do n't have to fire me , and i do n't expect severance . i 'll drop off my i d badge at hr . jack : whoa , whoa , no , no , no , ravi . take your things back to your office , and let 's sit down and talk . in fact , let 's talk over dinner , unless you 're still too full from lunch . ravi : really ? jack : really . come on , i 'm starving . let 's go . ravi : okay . marlene just dropped out -- hilary : not now . no guest , no episode . hilary : [ sighs ] give me the phone . hi , marlene ? how can we fix this ? devon : hey , listen , mariah , i do n't blame you . that 's the truth , okay ? hilary and i talked , but she 's still upset , and i still have some blank spots in my memory , so if you can help me out , you would really be doing me a favor . mariah : of course . devon : um , you said you put a copy in the teleprompter ? mariah : hilary read it out loud , and everyone was shocked . then she came at me . you broke us up , and then you two went at it . and then you stormed out . i guess that 's why you hopped into that new , flashy car you just bought . i heard you were going fast . really , really fast . and it was so icy out that night . look , you -- you should blame me . you should . i would . but the fact that you do n't and the fact that you and hilary are all right ... did i just make everything worse ? hilary : devon . babe , what are you doing here ? you should be resting . come on . i 'm gon na take you home . you look exhausted . i 'm getting you straight to -- devon : i 'm fine . i 'm more than fine . i was getting stir crazy at home , actually . and mariah was just catching me up . mariah : go home . take it easy for a few days at least . devon : well , who am i to argue with the women in my life , especially the star over here and our producer , especially when they agree on something ? mariah : trust me , you do n't have to worry about hilary and i . we talked . we 're good . no more dust - ups . hilary : yeah , we 're great . devon : good . then i guess my job here is done . let 's go home . hilary : yeah . mariah : bye , guys . take care . devon : hey , thank you , mariah . michael : all right , according to you , ravi shapur is not under contract with jabot . fenmore 's does not have an official non - compete with jabot . so ashley can be indignant that you tried to steal an employee , but you did nothing illegal , not even unethical . phyllis : good . thank you . michael : since when does ashley abbott cause you to second - guess yourself ? phyllis : this is not about me . this is about fenmore 's . this is about your wife . i want to help her and the company in any way i can , and getting sued is not in the helpful category . michael : look at you , being all conscientious . you know what ? thank you . lauren is hopeful , and that makes me grateful . phyllis : well , you know what ? i hope that your friend craig comes through . we need him and his bank account . michael : he 's a straight shooter . if he says he wants to invest , he 's not playing games . i was just afraid gloria was gon na muck things up before the deal was final . phyllis : why ? how ? come on , you just made me feel better about ashley , and now you 're making me freak out about gloria . what kind of friend are you ? michael : easy , easy , easy . no , i was just afraid gloria was trying to weasel a job out of craig , but the explanation is much simpler and , sadly , more predictable . phyllis : things with gloria are never simple . or predictable . ravi : mm . oh , i 'm sorry . did -- did you want this ? jack : no , no , no . i 'm glad you enjoyed it . ravi : i did . i usually eat three meals a day at my desk out of a bag . today ... ashley : wined and dined twice in one day . lucky you . ravi : i wo n't get used to it . i like my desk . i - i can go back now if you want . jack : no , we want you to be happy at jabot . ravi : there 's no place i 'd rather be . ashley : let 's make it official . ravi : a contract ? ashley : yes . [ cell phone vibrates ] ashley : is there a problem with that ? ravi : no . this -- this is great . jack : excuse me . i have to take this . look , read it over . make sure you like it . we want you to be happy . ashley : and to be ours . ravi : well , let 's make it so . jack : hello ? gloria : can you talk ? jack : how soon can you meet me at top of the tower ? gloria : check your elevator . paul : by calling him , you could have blown everything . sharon : a woman answered his phone . why did she have his phone ? how do you know he 's okay ? maybe he 's being kept against his will ! paul : sharon ... we talked to dylan . we spoke with him . that 's how we know you made the call . and because the voice was a woman , he assumed that he was speaking with chris . sharon : who is she , and what does she have to do with his case ? paul : that is n't up for debate . you need to promise me that you will not take that risk again . sharon : you want to give me nothing and you want me to make promises ? i 'm just supposed to stay home and do nothing ? not think ? not move ? just wait for the day that he comes walking through the door again or wait for you to stop by and tell me that he 's dead ! and what am i supposed to tell faith if that happens ? and how am i supposed to get through the next night , the next week , or however long it takes ? you know , when he left , he ... he could n't say the words . he would n't say that he was coming home . and i just kept thinking that ... that he had a feeling . paul : sharon . he will be back . dylan is coming home . dylan : delivery on payment . that was the agreement . fisk : no , no , no . i said you 'd get what is yours . that was the agreement . [ door closes ] dylan : all right , fisk . i got a boss to answer to . and this was n't part of the plan . alex : his boss is , uh , overeager . she already called . fisk : she ? you said you work for parcells , who 's definitely not a woman . so now , tell me , who 's really pulling your strings ? dylan : my boss is parcells . and just like you , he has a lieutenant , and just like yours , she 's a woman . her name is amanda . [ chuckling ] can -- can we just get on with this ? fisk : why did she call ? dylan : i did n't get a chance to ask her . alex : i answered . she did n't say much , then hung up . fisk : then how do you even know it was parcells ' second ? dylan : because nobody else has the number . i mean , who cares who called ? this is about money for product , right ? fisk : why did n't you call her back ? dylan : 'cause i was busy . you want details to that transaction , too , or did you already get those ? so ... when , where , and how can i get this shipment so i can finally tell my boss this was n't a complete waste of time ? sharon : this has been on his finger since the day i put it on him . since the day you married us . and now it 's hidden in a box because this ring could expose him . this -- this is us . it 's , uh , a man who protects me and loves me and forgives me for a lot of things . has anyone ever forgiven you like that ? paul : yeah . chris has . sharon : so then you know what it 's like when someone really loves you , that they can forgive you and they can ... they can see who you really are and they stand by you . [ sighs ] paul : [ chuckles ] sharon : you know , dylan forgave me for the lies about sully . do you think that if sully were in our lives today that you would have even sent him on this case ? or do you think that dylan would 've even taken it ? dylan -- he needed to forget about the pain . he needed to forget about his life . and for him , it was worth risking everything so that he would n't have to spend another day in this house with an empty nursery upstairs . paul : i understand , sharon . i do . and i know the waiting seems like forever . but i swear to you , i never would have let dylan go if i did n't think he 'd make it back home . sharon : [ sighs ] you ca n't be sure about that , paul . and what if i -- what if i ruined everything now ? i mean , i never -- never got to actually talk to dylan . but what if i exposed him ? paul : dylan is still okay . and he 's smart . trust me . believe me that more than anything else in this world , he wants to come home to you . and he 'll do that . i trust my son to do what he sets out to do , okay ? i have to get back to the station . you 're gon na be okay . sharon : yeah . thanks , paul . um , i promise i wo n't do anything else stupid . [ sniffles ] oh , um ... do you ... do you want to take this ? paul : you give it back to him when he comes home . [ door closes ] hilary : devon . [ door closes ] hilary : hey . [ keys clatter ] hilary : what 's going on ? you were so quiet in the car . did something happen at your checkup ? devon : no . actually , um , stitch gave me a clean bill of health . and i 'm off pain meds , so having this is fine . hilary : good . that 's -- that 's good . devon : he actually said that i just need to take things slow , but i can pretty much get back to life the way things were before the accident . hilary : oh , that is wonderful . and i ca n't think of a better way to celebrate ... than trying to start our new family . devon : i remember . hilary : what ? devon : i remember new year 's eve . i know what happened . hilary : that 's what you and mariah were talking about , was n't it ? she was filling your head with lies about me ! devon : is that what you really want to stick with is that they 're lies ? 'cause everything she said fell pretty much right in line with what i remember . hilary : your memory really came back ? devon : yes , my memory really did come back . and the truth has been right in front of my face this entire time -- everything you did , everything mariah helped you do to yourself . i left that night in that car 'cause i was trying to get as far away from you as possible . and you were gon na keep me in the dark about it , were n't you ? hilary : stitch said that it was too soon . ask him . ask neil . ask lily . okay ? everyone was just trying not to upset you . devon : i do n't care . i do n't care . i want you to say it . i want to hear you say the words of what you did , that you sabotaged mariah and purposely wanted to humiliate her like a damn middle school girl tripping the competition 'cause you 're jealous . do you have any idea how pathetic that sounds ? hilary : you would n't listen . you just kept telling me that nothing from that night mattered as long as we were together . devon , when you woke up in the hospital , you had tears in your eyes , and you apologized for taking such a horrible risk , and you were relieved that i was n't in the car with you , that i had n't been hurt . that 's your instinct . deep down , all you care about is that we 're together . that was true then . and it was real . so why is n't it true now ? devon . what 's really changed ? devon : everything . phyllis : can we get back to the conversation about gloria ? michael : [ sighs ] phyllis : you saw her exchanging numbers with your old friend craig ? michael : yeah . whom she normally ca n't stand . he 's calm and stable , and therefore way too boring for her . but suddenly gloria was all smiles and charm . so naturally i thought she was trying to weasel a job out of him . phyllis : well , if he 's really your friend , i assume you told him to haul off and go in the opposite direction ? michael : only , uh , she 's not trying to get a job . she 's trying to get a husband . jack : craig steele ? what does he know about fashion ? gloria : [ chuckles ] he knows about friendship . he 's fond of michael and lauren , and he wants to help . who knows ? maybe a little glamour in his life is an added bonus . jack : and he does n't know the first thing about lauren 's business , which i 'm sure is part of the appeal for her . gloria : yes , because she does n't want anybody hanging over her shoulder telling her what to do . jack : hands off is not the way i operate . gloria : which is why you 're sitting here with me instead of signing a contract with her . jack : this is not going at all like i planned . lauren finds deep pockets , and now phyllis is snaking my best employees . ravi : that woman must be pretty important for the boss to be spending this much time with her . ashley : [ sighs ] gloria 's a black hole of chaos and destruction . ravi : ah . is she one of his ex - wives , like phyllis ? ashley : [ coughs ] ravi : are you okay ? ashley : i 'm fine . she 's not one of jack 's ex - wives , thank god . phyllis was bad enough . by the way , ravi , you do know that phyllis and jack just broke up recently , right ? which is why he resents her for trying to seduce you . i mean , over to fenmore 's . ravi : if that 's what goes on after a breakup -- using people -- then i 'm glad i 'm single . ashley : nobody special in your life ? ravi : i have n't found the right girl . ashley : you 're very young . ravi : it 's not that . my parents ' marriage set the bar pretty high . ashley : you know , you have n't spoken much about your family . are you close to them ? ravi : yeah , in my culture , family 's everything . ashley : what do your parents do ? please do n't tell me they 're rocket scientists . ravi : just my dad . he 's working the mars mission at nasa . ashley : wow . what about your mom ? ravi : oh , she 's just a neurosurgeon . ashley : [ chuckles ] `` just `` ? ravi : i 'm only kidding . she 's pretty amazing . truth is , i have great parents . ashley : well , it seems like you have a lot to live up to . but you 're more than capable of meeting the challenge , i think . ravi : thank you . right now , ashley , i just want to do great things for you . and jabot . jack : if it was easy , it would n't be any fun . phyllis lost out on ravi . craig steele is gon na lose out on fenmore . gloria : leave the gory details to me , jack . jack : i 'd like to know some details . how are you going to pull this off ? gloria : i told you , i 've convinced michael i 've set my sights on craig -- romantically . jack : now you 're gon na drag romance into this ? gloria : [ chuckles ] come on , jack . my ring finger 's naked . and nice but boring craig can afford one heck of a rock . paul : hey . kevin : hi . paul : any word from miami ? kevin : nothing . how 'd it go with sharon ? paul : well , she admitted using the cell to call dylan . kevin : she gets that that was a really bad idea , right ? paul : yeah . you know , kevin ... [ sighs ] i thought about how this case would affect dylan , all the pressures and all the stresses , but i really did n't think through what it would do to sharon . so , you know , i just tried to reassure her . kevin : well , it 's all true . dylan is on top of this , chief . he 's gon na do whatever it takes to make it back from this mission , the same way he did whatever it took to make it back from the war . that 's what you told sharon , right ? paul : essentially , yes . kevin : good , because all of that is true . dylan 's gon na be home soon . paul : yeah . [ sighs ] mariah : hey . do you want to hear some crazy news ? devon is up and walking around , and he and hilary are back together . i know , i know . she 's awful . but guess what ? i 'm not devon . i do n't have to be married to her . although i do have to say it is a little reassuring to see that somebody can work through any ... what 's wrong ? is it dylan ? did something happen ? sharon : paul was just here , and he said that dylan is okay . but , uh ... mariah : but what ? sharon : but his cover may have been blown because of , uh , me , something stupid that i did . mariah : what something ? i do n't understand . sharon : i found this special phone at the police station , and i tried to call dylan on it . and a woman answered . mariah : a woman ? like a -- like a drug dealer woman ? sharon : i do n't know . i got off the phone with her as fast as possible . mariah : sharon ... sharon : i might have ruined everything . i ... dylan could be in danger . and if something were to ever happen to him because of me , i just ... i do n't know how i would handle that . i would n't survive it . [ machine clicking quickly ] [ machine stops ] dylan : it 's all there . alex : like you 're not gon na weigh the product ? you 're just gon na trust us ? dylan : [ chuckles ] if i ever get the product , i 'll let you know . alex : there 's a discrepancy . fisk : that 's not good . not good at all . dylan : hold on . go ahead , alex . tell him . alex : there 's more than the agreed amount . dylan : about 5 % more . my boss is a generous man . he wants this deal to go smoothly . but feel free to give some to charity . whatever . fisk : it 'll go to a good cause . dylan : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 'm sure . my boss wants confirmation that the transaction is done . so , uh , let 's get to the pier and finish this . finally . hey , i 'm gon na catch up with you after i get the shipment , all right ? alex : you do that . fisk : bring the car around . take our friend derek to pier 13 . shipment 's on the esmeralda . registered in panama . you got all that ? the product is excellent . price is fair . no nonsense . it was a pleasure doing business with you . derek , i say we do it again sometime . hilary : please , devon . talk to me . yell if you have to . i can take it . do n't just sit there and act like it 's all over . seeing you in that hospital bed , it changed me . whatever it takes to heal us , i 'll do it . i want a life with you , devon . i want a home . i want a family . and i will do all of the hard work , okay ? because i know that we are worth it . devon : no , we 're not . we never were worth it . our relationship 's been a mistake from day one , okay ? you can dress it up with money and this damn penthouse and your looks , but at the end of the day , it is what it is . it 's ugly , and it 's cheap . hilary : we have love , devon . we have ... we have real love . devon : yeah ? hilary : yeah . and it 's precious , and it 's worth fighting for . devon : do you have any idea how guilty i felt going off the road like i did , thinking i was putting you through hell ? do you ? i guess the real joke is on me , right ? ! [ glass shatters ] hilary : hey , we can -- we can -- we can start over . devon . come on . things for us have never been easy , from the way that we fell in love to the things that got in the way . and this -- this can -- this can be like a fire , and it just burns all of that away . and we can start fresh . we can -- we can focus on us , on our future . devon : we do n't have a future . we 're done . we never should have happened . you 're toxic ! hilary : no , devon . no , no . that 's not -- that 's not true . okay , there 's a reason why we fell in love , okay ? we -- we told the whole world to go to hell ! devon : well , you know what ? i 'm not telling that to the whole world anymore . i 'm just telling you . so why do n't you get your things , get out of this house , and you go to hell ? we 're finished ! hilary : [ sighs ] ashley : this was such a lovely evening . you know what ? i almost feel grateful to phyllis . ravi : me , too . i definitely was n't expecting a jabot contract , especially after i screwed up today . ashley : come on , that 's all forgiven and forgotten . it 's been nice getting to know you away from the office . i hope i was n't prying too much . ravi : not at all . you 're surprisingly easy to talk to . ashley : what do you mean , surprising ? you do n't think i 'm a warm and fuzzy person , ravi ? ravi : no , that 's not it . you 're one of the warmest people i 've ever met . uh , surprising because i do n't usually open up to people easily , so anyone who thinks you 're not a warm person obviously does n't know you . ashley : that 's sweet . jack : do me a favor . do n't go marrying steele until you kill his deal with fenmore 's . gloria : oh , come on . i was just kidding . maybe . thing is , i understand craig better now . he may have a full bank account , but an empty life and a lovely house in nantucket . jack : by spending all your time spending craig 's money , how are you gon na find time for the `` little job `` you requested at jabot ? gloria : you jealous , jackie ? afraid i 'm gon na focus on craig and forget our little deal ? jack : do we have a deal ? try to convince me . gloria : how little faith you have in me . jack : gee , i wonder why . listen to me . thank you for the information . i will handle things from here .

thers got to be something out there . and do n't they say the truth always leaves a trail ? paul : well , phyllis , i have based my entirprprofessional life on that assumption , but it 's not like this is a new case to me . it 's ... phyllis : listen , ca n't you just try ? and if you do n't find anything ... paul : then -- then what ? phyllis : then i 'll let it go . but if the person who set this fire goes to jail ... paul : oh , diane , in other words ? phyllis : yes , diane . listen , i ca n't go walking around knowing that that woman is free . paul : phyllis , i have been over this case already inch by inch . phyllis : then go over it centimeters by centimeters . i do n't care . paul , whatever it takes . i 'll pay you anything . paul : have you seen the file report on this case yet ? phyllis : no , i haven't . paul : well , i would assume that john silva has a copy . phyllis : good . there 's a starting point . paul : i 'll take a look at the report , but a word of warning -- if this leads to a situation where i have to have contact with michael baldwin , that 's where i get off the train . phyllis : i understand . so you 'll work with me now , right ?

colleen : come here . j.t . : ma'am . lauren : yes , what is it ? j.t . : why do n't you take my shirt ? lauren : oh , that 's okay . no . j.t . : no , it 's pretty cold out here , and i made a mess t t of your jacket there . lauren : you know , i 'm fine . i 'm fine , but thank you very much for offering . j.t . : oh , come on . i 'm willing to make a sacrifice . this is like , my favorite shirt . lauren : that 's very sweet of you . j.t . : i 'm usually not this generous , so i think you should take advantage . lauren : well , flannel is n't usually my style , but i guess i could make an exception . j.t . : all right , here . lauren : oh , thank you . would you like to sit down ? j.t . : are n't you afraid i might spill your coffee ? lauren : well , the thought did occur to me , but i 'll take my chances . j.t . : all right . lauren : i 'm sorry i went off on you like that . j.t . : no , it 's not your fault . i was a klutz in there . lauren : well , from what i overheard , it sounded like yoyou were having a rough day . girlfriend trouble ? i think you 're in love . j.t . : wait . wait a minute . where did that come from ? lauren : a woman knows these things . diane : wipe that scowl off your face , michael . i 'm off the hook . you can relax . michael : you heard what the man said . phyllis : yes , and i 'm not worried about it . detective weber has nothing on me now , and he wo n't have anything in the future . michael : well , you sound awfully sure of yourself . diane : yes , i am . michael : all right , fine . fine , then i will deduct my hours from the retainer you paid me and refund you the rest . diane : that 's very generous of you . michael : you understand that means i 'm no longer your attorney . diane : what 's the hurry ? michael : i want this to be over ! diane : but of course , you 're still ... michael : yeah , yeah , yeah . yeah , i 'm still bound by confidentiality . your secrets , such as they are , are safe with me . diane : i never told you anything but the truth . i did n't set that fire ! michael : yeah , well , if someone asks , i 'll tell them that 's what you said . look , you listen to me . i 'm going to give you some advice , no charge . diane : oh , i 'm all ears . michael : i think it would be wise of you and best for kyle , too , if you were to cooperate with jack and phyllis . diane : you 're talking about visitation . michael : i understand that you are following the letter of the law , but i also suspect that you 're tweaking them ever so slightly now . diane : you 're not going to take away all my fun , are you ? michael : it 's over ! it 's over ! why do n't you just cut them some slack , hmm ? diane : after what those two did to me ? i do n't think so . they humiliated men court , t t to mention the way jack just played with my emotions . michael : no , let it go , diane , please ! diane : why should i ? why should i ? i have done nothing to them compared to what they did to me . okay , so phyllis escaped the noose . there was no reason to make it look liki i was guilty when there 's no one shred of proof . michael : not yet , anyway . diane : you know what , counselor ? you almost sound like you think i got away with something . phyllis : michael may not believe that , but i sure as hell do . in fact , i 'm sure of it . brad : come on , nikki . think about it . all the times victor 's been hoveri a around my wife -- he never misses a chance to admire abby . when i arrived at the hospital after she was born , who 's standing there , holding ashley 's newborn baby in his arms ? nikki : victor ? brad : that 's right . first time i laid eyes on abby , he 's holding her . now is that just a matter of course , something an ex - husband does ? no way . nikki : i just ca n't even process this . i mean ... the man that i know so well , the man i love -- my god , i just remarried him ! and all that time ... brad : he and ashley had a secret . nikki : how could i nothave known or not even suspected ? how could you not have suspected ? brad : nikki ... i never wanted to hurt you , but you kept pushing me . nikki : i sensed that something was going on , but ... brad : now you know . we both know . nikki : no . no , damn it ! i do n't accept this . this is not happening ! i do n't know why ashley is doing this , but this is a lie . this is a filthy , disgusting lie ! ashley : i hope you assured her nothing 's going on between victor and me . jack : yes , but she is convinced there 's some big mystery concerning you and the mustache . ashley : why ca n't she just leave it alone ? jack : because she knows how ticked off bradley is , she knows it 's about you , and she knows victor 's involved . she 's not gon na quit digging until she gets some answers . ashley : okay , what are you saying ? do you think she 's gon na try to find brad and force it out of him ? jack : is n't that what you would do if you were in h p position ? ashley : you realize that if brad tells nikki , she 's going to confront victor . this whole thing 's gon na explode . what the hell am i gon na do ? jill : you quit ? larry , for heaven 's sake . larry : look , i told you how i wanted it , and you just -- you would n't chill out . jill : yeah , but this is a bit extreme . larry : look , i know that you and i will never be like equals , okay ? and you 're never gon na take me out and strut me around your fancy friends , but in here , i 've got ta have some respect , and i 've got ta have some space , you know ? jill : why , i really pushed a button , did n't i ? larry : yeah , you did . jill : well , i 'm sorry . i was just trying to get you turned on . larry : jill , you can and you do . and you 're really highfalutin in this place , and uniform or not , i 'm still a ununkie . and when you say , `` hey , warton , you feel like a little hanky - panky ? `` and i say yeah , then everything 's great . but if i say , `` no , i wan na wait until we 're at home , `` because for the first time in my life , i feel like i got a gig where i can have some responsibility , and i do n't wan na blow it lilike i 've blown every other -- jill : okay , okay , i get it . i get it . i will never bring it up again , in a manner of speaking . here . please , put this back on . lauren : so you 're having trouble in paradise ? j.t . : yeah , you could say that . her family ca n't stand me . lauren : any specific reason ? j.t . : i got this reputation . lauren : what kind of reputation ? j.t . : ie e had a lot of , uh , well , i would n't exactly call them girlfriends , but , uh , let 's just say -- say girls like me . lauren : you know , someone as young as you , i 'm kinda having trouble with the visual of a reputation as a ladies ' man . j.t . : well , i 'm really not that young . i 'm in college . lauren : ooh . excuse me . and your girlfriend 's , what , in high school ? j.t . : no , she 's 27 . lauren : hmm . so you 're what , 19 or 20 , and you like older women ? j.t . : yes , ma'am , i guess so . lauren : ha ha . okay , so let me give you a little piece of advice . j.t . : yeah . lauren : never call an older woman `` ma'am . `` j.t . : really ? i thought it showed respect . lauren : oh , trust me . we hate it . j.t . : okay , i got it . lauren : you know , you remind me of me at your age . j.t . : how 's that ? lauren : well , the guys liked me . j.t . : well , i bet they still do . lauren : and when i fell , i fell really hard , and i pity the person who stood in the way . j.t . : you know , sometimes people get in the way , and it 's not that easy to get around 'em . lauren : well ... colleen : j.t . i ca n't believe you 're actually here . j.t . : hi , col . colleen : mm . oh , i thought if i did n't see you soon , i was gon na die . lauren : hello , colleen . j.t . : what , you two know each other ? lauren : i 'm lauren fenmore . the last time i saw you was phyllis and jack 's engagement party . colleen : oh ... right . lauren : yeah . i knew your parents pretty well , you owow , way back when . pretty young 27-year - old . anyway , uh , thank you so much for the use of your jacket . j.t . : yeah , sure . lauren : but i have to get going . all righty , good - bye . colleen : what were you doing with her ? j.t . : just talking . colleen : why was she wearing your jacket ? j.t . : it 's a long story , col . colleen : well , i hope she does n't tell anyone she saw us . j.t . : no , i doubt it . she seems really cool . colleen : well , even if she does , i do n't care . i 'm just so glad to see you . brad : nikki , i wish with all my heart that you were right that this was all a lie ... victor was n't abby 's father . why would ashley make something like this up ? apparently , she 's been agonizing over it for a very long time . and as for what it 's one to our marriage ... nikki : but why now ? why after all this time , would she suddenly confess ? brad : crisis of conscience , i suppose . the cancer . facing her own mortality . nikki : does anybody else know ? brad : i 'm afraid so . nikki : who ? brad : that 's not important . are you sure victor never gave you a hint about what was going on ? nikki : we , , now that i think about it ... brad : what ? nikki : i asked him if he had any idea why you would be so furious ? he did admit to me that he 'd been seeing ashley more than i realized . oh , my god . it does fit , brad . maybe he was preparing me . brad : it 's possible . nikki : no . i do n't care . i am not gon na believe any of this until i hear it from victor himself . brad : you said he was in chicago . nikki : he 'll be back tonight . brad : nikki . brad : i am so sorry ... for both of us . diane : ever heard of knocking , phyllis ? phyllis : door was open . diane : so is your mouth . i suggest you close it and leene . this is a private meeting . michael : ladies , let 's play nice . the furniture 's not paid for . phyllis : do n't worry , michael . we 're not gon na shed any blood on your carpet . diane : if we do , it will be your blood , phyllis , not mine . michael : all right , i 'm serious . i will bodily eject the person nearest the door if you ca n't control yourselves , and if you doubt it , you can just try me . diane : well , that wo n't be necessary , michael . now that she 's here , i 'd like to share my good news with phyllis . phyllis : oh , what 's that ? diane : detective weber paid us a visit . phyllis : really ? hot on your trail , i imagine . diane : au contraire . he informed us that they wo n't be filing charges . phyllis : is that true ? michael : not without any new evidence . diane : which there wo n't be . unless , of course , someone saw phyllis light the match . phyllis : oh , how do you know it was a match , diane ? how do you know that ? could have been a lighter . diane : nice t , , phyllis . phyllis : yeah , you , nice try , diane . you tried to put me in prison . you tried to snag my husband . but it did n't work . diane : you have n't seen anything yet . phyllis : really ? what 's that supposed to mean ? diane : it means i would n't make any plans for you and jack and kyle , because chances are my son wo n't be available . phyllis : you 're so pathetic , using your son as a weapon . diane : it 's your words , phyllis . phyllis : you 're sick . diane : what goes around comes around . i will never forget what jack did to me , however incredible it felt at the time . michael : hold it ! all right , all right . time for you to go , diane . diane : i know you do n't wan na believe this , phyllis , but jack and i were hot . phyllis : ( coughing ) diane : there are some things a man ca n't fake . michael : bye . have a nice day . jack : let 's slow down here . there is no reason to believe that brad would tell nikki about abby 's paternity . ashley : what 's he got to lose ? why would he protect nikki 's marriage when he thinks her husband 's been lying to her ? jack : because she 's newly married , she 's a friend , and he cares about her feelings . ashley : jack , i had every intention of keeping this a secret forever . forever . why did i ever make that stupid videotape ? jack : wait , what are you talking about now ? ashley : never mind . jack : no , no , wait . tell me . ashley : jack , a secret is n't a secret when three or four people know about it . why did i ever let this ever get so out of control ? jack : okay , listen to me . bradley loves abby . we know that . he 's a father to her in every way but one . eventually , he 's gon na get over this . ashley : and what about victor ? jack : there 's no reason he ever needs to know . ashley : and if he does know , jack , he could take me to court . do you realize what i did was illegal ? i could lose my daughter ! jack : so we 're back to square one . ashley : we 've got ta find brad before he gets to victor . jack : listen to me . you 're gon na go crazy sitting here waiting for the phone to ring . i 'll stay here in case bradley calls . you go to jabot , see if you can find him anywhere . ashley : okay . ( gasps ) jill : ooh , that 's better . larry : so we are clear on the protocol around here , correct ? jill : protocol . larry : that 's right . it 's my new word for the day , and do n't go trying to change the subject . jill : all right . we are clear , sweetheart . larry : do n't call me that around here . jill : you 're so cute when you 're mad . larry : look , i am warning you ... jill : okay . all right . i will just treat you like a large piece of furniture . larry : until we get home . jill : okay . is it all right if i come throw pebbles at your window tonight ? larry : i 'll be waiting . jill : okay , admiral warton . better get back to your duties . larry : yes , ma'am . larry : au revoir . colleen : mm . so did you miss me ? j.t . : yeah , you bet . colleen : this has been the longest two weeks in my entire life . j.t . : i hope you 're not gon na get in trouble for being here . colleen : i 'm not worried . besides , why should you be the one taking all the risks ? j.t . : what risks are you talking about ? colleen : when you showed up at my dad 's on my birthday . j.t . : oh , yeah . well , i had to give you your birthday present , did n't i ? colleen : singing me that song was the best surprise ever . i will remember it for the rest of my life . lily : ahem ! colleen : oh , uh , lily , this is j.t . j.t . , lily winters . lily : nice to meet you , j.t . j.t . : it 's nice to meet you , too , lily . lily : you 're exactly the way colleen described you . j.t . : well , is that -- is that good or bad ? lily : it 's good . definitely good . well , um , yoguguys probably wan na be alone , right ? colleen : if you do n't mind . lily : no way . besides , i got ta get home anyway . colleen : okay , i 'll call you later . lily : cool . bye , j.t . j.t . : see you later . colleen : ( sighs ) i can not believe how long it 's been since we 've seen each other . i missed you so much . j.t . : well , i missed you , too . ashley : i was just going out to try to find you . brad : saved you the trip . jack : hello , bradley . brad : jack . jack : sis , you want me to stick around for a while ? ashley : no . you go ahead . jack : okay . you know where to find me if you need me . ashley : yeah . thanks . ashley : i 've been calling all over trying to find you , honey . brad : i know . ashley : why have n't you returned my calls ? we need to talk . brad : right . talk . that 's why i 'm here .

brad : that we make victor a key part of this . nikki : and risk having ashley blurt out to him that he 's abby 's father ? that 'll be real therapeutic . brad : you may as well know . nikki : know what ? brad : both wes and olivia agree , if we 're going to involve victor in this , he needs to be told the truth so he is n't blindsided . [ scene_break ] olivia : victor , your loyalty is commendable . victor : you know it 's much more than that . ashley means a great deal to me , and i 'm grateful to you for recommending to brad carlton that he use my help . olivia : he said you discussed the situation . victor : i did indeed , with jack abbott standing nearby baring his teeth . olivia : so i heard . victor : did you also hear what happened during the discussion with ashley ? olivia : you spoke to her . victor : that 's right . the first time she communicated with anyone . she responded to me . i thought it was an extraordinary breakthrough . olivia : i think that 's fair to say . victor : and i suggested that i would come back . that suggestion was met with an icy reception . olivia : you ca n't understand why ? victor : to be frank with you , not quite . you know the crisis that ashley is in . you know that she 's in deep trouble . if i 'm able to elicit a response from her , then do n't you think brad carlton should put aside his antipathy toward me and just do what 's best for his wife ? [ scene_break ] sharon : hey , look , you 're making way too much of this , okay ? michael : am i ? sharon : yes ! i spoke to the guy for what , a minute ? michael : wait a minute ! you spoke ... so you talked to this man ? he heard your voice ? sharon : well , do n't say it like that . michael : oh , i 'm sorry , sharon . how do you want me to say it , reassuringly ? shall we pretend that none of this matters ? sharon : michael , he thought i was a hooker , okay ? and not a very high - class one either , by the way he was trying to pick up on me . michael : oh , all right , so did you let him think that ? sharon : no , of course not ! why , do you think i should have ? michael : it woulda helped , yes . he probably saw you a lot better than you realize . sharon : look , he does n't know my name , and i did n't mention cameron 's . i just said that i was going up to see a friend . there 's no reason to connect me with whatever . michael : look , once the police investigation starts , they 'll have plenty of reason to connect you with all these things . sharon : well , they have n't , okay ? and no one has even mentioned that cameron was there . time has passed . you know , he probably checked d in under some fake name . that was the whole idea , was to be discrete . michael : you are living in a fool 's paradise if you think you will not be linked to the crime scene . you have a very shaky alibi . you have a witness who saw you , who heard your voice the night cameron disappeared , probable dna evidence in the man 's motel room . sharon : look , i 'm not confessing , all right ? i 'm not turning myself in . i wo n't .

growing profits , cultural impact , fabulous magazine ? jack : well , i regret not selling it to you . shiva : you 're as bad as your brother . jack : oh , then you 've met billy , huh ? shiva : from parties and openings , that sort of thing . i met him through a modeling friend . speak of the devil . and chloe ?

lily : um , well , actually , i 'm -- i 'm not modeling anymore . shiva : oh , that 's a shame . lily : yeah . shiva : and , chloe ! there you are . chloe : shiva ! hi ! look at you ! shiva : you 're pregnant ? ! i had no idea ! chloe : i am . i am . this is , uh , my husband . this is him , right here . and we are very excited . shiva : how wonderful for you both . george : shiva , you must come see what maria 's wearing . it 's fabulous . lily : well , she seems sweet . did you two work together ? chloe : yeah , yeah , she 's a really , really great girl , but she 's got a rotten memory . you just -- you ca n't trust a thing that she says . kay : oh , that looks heavenly . murphy : well , dig 'em on in , lady . kay : ah . oh , yes , yes , yes . murphy : better ? kay : oh , for the feet , yes . but , uh , amber 's phone call was -- was very disappointing . that pawn broker made me a very bad deal with the ring , you know that ? that must be why he wo n't admit anything . murphy : yeah . well , i should go talk to him . i mean , you sold the ring because of me in the first place . i mean , me and bait and tackle . kay : i sold that ring because i wanted to ! all i have done is take from you , ever since you fished me out of the river . now come on . murphy : yeah . that ring proves that you 're katherine . i mean , if you had it , you 'd probably be in your own house and your own bed . kay : do you wan na know something ? that ring is n't the only thing . it was just one tiny thing that i could do for you . and i would do it again . chancellor name be damned . i 'm -- i 'm right where i 'd like to be . murphy : what 'll it be ? meatloaf or fish ? kay : surprise me . sharon : okay , i do n't see it . um ... no , it 's not there . i 'm still looking . um , oh , okay , i found it . noah , i am going to tape this book to your hand when i get home . you 're welcome . bye . phyllis : what are you doing here ? sharon : um , i - i just came to pick up a book for noah , and now , i - i 'm going home to see my son . phyllis : well , how funny . you just come in and out of here so easily for your son , but you had to spend one more night in new york . sharon : what the hell is wrong with you ? you -- you could 've just let me go and -- and now you wan na push ? phyllis : well , i would prefer if you keep your lips away from my husband 's face . sharon : nick is all yours , phyllis . you two share a beautiful child and -- and a company together . you have the man you love , and yet you still come after me ? phyllis : oh , poor sharon the victim . sharon : like hell i am . i 'm just really tired of your games , phyllis . they 're starting to bore me . like throwing brad in front of my face to try to save your marriage ? please . phyllis : damn straight i 'm gon na do anything to protect my marriage , sharon . sharon : oh , well , did it work ? are you two closer than ever ? phyllis : that 's none of your business . sharon : nick and i kissed . we did . but that is where it ended . it did not explode into some full - blown affair . that 's really your arena , not mine . phyllis : aw , very nice . good . sharon : so why do n't you just focus on your marriage and forget about me . phyllis : well , you know , i would love to do that . except you focus on nick enough for the both of us . i mean , latching onto that beauty of nature job like you did ? and now miraculously , nick has to spend all his time at newman . sharon : you really think he 's spending time at newman to be with me ? how can you be in love with nick and have no idea what really matters to him ? nick : thank you . victoria : wow ! congratulations ! the issue is incredible . should n't phyllis be here celebrating with you ? nick : she 's doing some troubleshooting at the office . victoria : oh , uh , well , make sure that mom knows it 's just work and not some crisis . she 's in worry mode , you know ? nick : did you talk her down ? victoria : yeah , i told her that your marriage is all about big fights and big making up and that you 'll be fine . nick : yeah , well , we better . victoria : how bad is it between you two ? nick : i screwed up . and do n't ask . victoria : okay . nick : and then phyllis , uh ... victoria : phyllis pulled a phyllis ? nick : exactly . victoria : so ? nick : so ? it was a big phyllis . victoria : so ? you married her with your eyes wide open . i 'm saying that in the best sisterly way . nick : you 're defending her . you do n't even know what she did . victoria : no , i do n't know what she did , and i really do n't care to know . actually , i totally do , but i 'm not gon na ask . the bottom line is , do you still love her ? nick : of course . maybe more than ever . victoria : okay , so ... just get over it and go find her . kiss her like you mean it . phyllis : i 'm sorry , are you lecturing me about my husband ? sharon : well , since you ca n't seem to figure it our for yourself , yeah . nick is n't spending time at newman enterprises to be with me . he 's there to be with victor . victor sliced nick out of his life . he practically disowned him , now finally , finally , nicholas and victor are together again . how can you expect him to spend his days at `` restless style `` ? phyllis : sharon , `` restless style `` is nick 's dream . sharon : maybe for the past year . but getting victor 's approval has been nick 's dream his entire life . phyllis : that job is sucking him dry . he goes on and on how he does n't wan na be like his father . sharon : rationally , no . but since when has love ever been about being rational ? and nicholas loves bigger than any other person i know . the way he loves victor and the kids and you . and the kids adored nick . with victor , nicholas has to bleed for every ounce of affection he gets from that man . phyllis : yeah , why are you telling me this ? i know this . nick has me . i love him . he has his family . i - i do n't -- i will give him what he needs . sharon : if you think you can fill the void that victor has carved out , you 're crazy . phyllis : so what are you saying , sharon ? that you 're the only one who can love nick properly ? is that what you 're saying ? um , i 'm sorry . you had your chance . sharon : i 'm not a threat , phyllis . you wan na keep nick by threatening him and manipulating him ? he gets enough of that from his father . kevin : do girls really find guy liner hot ? daniel : huh . that 's funny . that 's a funny guy . kevin : oh ! oh , my gosh ! that 's you ! oh , wow , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i had no idea . jana : oh , stop it . he 's just teasing . it 's stunning , daniel . kevin : stunning . the hair alone is just ... wow . amber : i think you look gorgeous . hey , um , can i talk to you about katherine ? kevin : oh , but i have , like , six more jokes and they all involve the word `` bouffant . `` daniel : okay ! amber : mrs. c. is more important . shiva : when is chloe due ? she looks about seven months along . cane : just about , yeah , yeah . chloe : hi ! there you are ! you know , you are the most gorgeous girl here . cane , would you do me a favor ? could you get me a , uh , ginger ale , please ? cane : sure . would you like anything , shiva ? shiva : uh , nothing , thanks . chloe : thanks . he does n't know . shiva : what ? chloe : cane does n't know about billy . shiva : are you serious ? so that photo was n't a duel over you ? chloe : oh , actually , it was , which i loved , of course , but not because cane knows . no one knows . shiva : you seemed so into billy , but you love cane even more now ? chloe : cane 's a keeper . billy ... shiva : oh , we all know what billy is . chloe : just keep those perfectly lined lips shut , okay ? shiva : what you have with cane seems so special . i 'm sure he 'd understand . chloe : humor me , shiva , humor me . shiva : of course . of course . not a word . jack : oh , j.t . , i think it 's great . i 'm telling you , when reed is grown up , you 're gon na love having that . colleen : girls love guys and babies , so you 'll get more fan mail than anyone else in the issue . j.t . : oh , well , that 's great . jack : wait , wait , more than mr. love to hate ? colleen : um , well ... jack : sharon ? you 're here . sharon : yeah , um ... jack , you said that you 'd do anything for me . jack : anything . sharon : okay , well ... i have a favor to ask . kevin : so there 's free food inside where it 's warm and we 're out here . why is that ? you gon na sic the feds on me for murder ? amber : katherine . i saw her and she recognized me . kevin : for real ? she knew you ? amber : yeah . and i know you paid her bail and i know you asked michael to be her lawyer . kevin : whoa , whoa , whoa , who said i paid her bail ? that was supposed to be a secret . i might have to take you out for that . amber : look , you 're a really great guy and i 'm really sorry i called you a killer , i am . i 'm really -- i 'm really sorry . hey , where 'd you get the money to pay her bail ? kevin : why do n't we go back to the apology ? amber : oh , okay . um , listen , we have to help her together . kevin : uh , but i ca n't be trusted , amber . and maybe you 're still afraid of me , you know ? i 'm wiry , fast , and i may have a set of nunchucks in my pocket . amber : look , i am really , really , really , really sorry . kay : ah . murphy : so , uh , what do you wan na watch , marge ? katherine . what am i thinking ? kay : oh , please . murphy : you know , if somebody heard ... kay : oh , come on , come on , come on , there 's no one here but us . and i know who i am . that 's good enough for me . murphy : well , you 're katherine and we 're gon na prove it . kay : mm , yeah , but , uh , i do n't know , marge has had her upside . new old friends , you know ? pearl , regulars , joe , jr. and , uh ... and you . murphy : oh ! boy , you impress easily . kay : well , genoa city is a lovely place , but , uh ... and that house -- my home -- it 's elegant . but , uh , here with you now ? murphy : hmm . kay : there 's no place i 'd rather be . murphy : you know , why i went down to the diner all those times before ? kay : mnh - mnh . murphy : because i was ... sick to death of these four walls . but you know , i - i like coming home now . kay : hm ? murphy : to you . murphy : there 's nothing on the tv anyway . kay : ( chuckles ) kay : ( laughing ) lily : it just makes me smile to see his face . shiva : he does have that effect on women . some women . very few . lily : it 's okay . i know all about billy . shiva : really ? lily : yeah , people keep thinking they have to protect me from his reputation , but trust me , i know a lot more about billy than you think , so ... shiva : when you say more , do you mean anything specific or anyone ? lily : well , wait , you know chloe from work , but how do you know billy ? billy : hey , uh , shiva , can you help me out , make me look like a hero and come talk to this guy for a minute ? we 'll be right back . lily : okay . billy : mnh - mnh . shiva : all those parties i saw you at with chloe , you were never this tense . billy : no . no . no parties . no chloe . no dating . no . nothing . okay ? please , shiva ? shiva : why are you acting so strange about this ? you both moved on , so who cares ? oh , the baby ? billy : no , no , we were long over by then . but lily -- she 's a keeper . shiva : that 's what chloe said about cane . billy : you see ? now everybody 's happy and all it costs is just an itsy bitsy little secret , so zip your lip . shiva : chloe said that , too . billy : damn it . shiva : you both think alike . billy : yeah , well , maybe , but i mean , lily is -- shiva : oh , she seems wonderful . billy : yeah , she 's the real deal . and i 'm not gon na screw this up . now come on . phyllis : so have you been collecting compliments ? i wan na hear 'em all . george : how are you gon na top this issue ? it looks amazing , you know , from concept to execution , it 's great . phyllis : yeah . george : congratulations . phyllis : thank you . nick : well , all the credit goes to my very beautiful wife . without her , i and this magazine would be lost . phyllis : thank you . it was your dream . i just helped make it come true . j.t . : well , maybe we should go . victoria : no , i think we 'll stay . and , um , maybe they should get a room . colleen : dateless . i am completely dateless with all these men here . lily : oh , come on , it 's not that bad . colleen : yeah , right . i just said that i would go to dinner with my dad tomorrow night . i am totally pathetic . lily : ( laughs ) billy : okay , come on , ceecee . let 's find you a nice , presentable , respectful young man . colleen : right . like you would know any . how do you put up with him , huh ?

cane : no , it 's not . daniel : hey . what 's going on ? where 's kevin ? amber : probably thinking up new ways to torture me for calling him a killer . daniel : yeah , was n't exactly your finest moment . amber : i was wrong . i was wrong . i admit it . but i am right about mrs. c. being alive . so now how do i convince everyone else ? daniel : you yell and fight and find a way , like you always do . amber : you believe in me ? daniel : yeah , see ... you have this magical way of making things happen . i guess i 'm just glad i 'm along for the ride . paul : kevin ?

paul : uh , oh , nothing . we , uh , i keep losing my gloves . i think i 've lost , like , six pair already . i leave them at the coffeehouse . nikki : oh ! well , i just have to check on some posters , and then we can go . paul : okay , sounds good . paul : michael , its paul . listen , i do n't know if you still need me , but i 'm back on the impostor case . sharon : okay . jack : are you sure you wan na go ? sharon : thanks . yeah , uh , this is exactly what i need . jack : no phone service , no contact ? sharon : you know what ? it 'll give me time to think . figure out the next part of my life . jack : i 'm sorry i made the last part of your life so unhappy . sharon : so noah 's gon na be staying with nick , and , um ... i 'll just go into town when i need to check in . jack : okay . if -- if i can help with anything else -- sharon : you know what ?

( knocks on door ) sharon : so ... you 'll be released soon . you 'll be coming home . victor : ( sighs ) it 'll be good to sleep in my own bed again . sharon : obviously , this will be the start of a whole new chapter for us . victor : let 's talk about all that when i 'm free , okay ? sharon : all right , i will be back later . hopefully , i 'll have some buzz about the beauty of nature sale . victor : i 'd be very interested in that . sharon : i still wish i understood your plan better . victor : all in due time . sharon : is tucker a part of it ? victor : why do you ask ? sharon : well , i -- i saw him leaving here , and i thought , um , you two did n't get along . victor : i 've been known to do business with people i detest . sharon : obviously , this is confidential . victor : i 'll see you later , okay ? sharon , i 'm looking forward to it .

( sighs genevieve : yeah , i know and i 'm even more concerned than i was before , because you know how competitive he was feeling about getting beauty of nature ? ashley : mm - hmm . genevieve : well , he became even more determined when he found out that tucker was bidding on it , too . ashley : tucker 's what ? [ scene_break ] tucker : hey , jack . you know , ashley 's not home . jack : i 'm here to see you . tucker : okay . what 's up ? jack : i hear you 're making a bid for beauty of nature . tucker : is that a fact ? jack : well , since you 're not denying it , i guess it is . so i guess you 're , uh , deciding to ignore any conflict of interest . you 're not concerned about piquing the interest of the s.e.c . ? tucker : if you 're here to get me to back down , you 're wasting your time . jack : my time , my energy , my money is being well - spent on acquiring beauty of nature . my people tell me that mccall , unlimited is looking to go big or go home . go too big , you could be asking for a lot of uncomfortable questions . tucker : ( sighs ) why do n't you just make your bid , jack ? and may the best man win . jack : oh , he will . he will . [ scene_break ] davis : the company i represent is going to make a bid for beauty of nature . adam : your team is coming kind of late to the game . davis : maybe we 've timed it just right . adam : maybe . well , you need to submit a sealed bid to the accounting firm by the deadline , and i would hurry up , davis . good luck . davis : it 's a go . [ scene_break ] sharon : hi . big day today with beauty of nature . adam : it is that . i was just meeting with davis . sharon : and i just saw victor . looks like he 's getting out soon . adam : excuse me . davis : ( whispering ) okay , got it .

[ scene_break ] nick : are you sure dad did n't mean he 's not going to postpone the annulment ? i mean , i can understand that dad would want to wait ... nikki : no , no , no , no . nick : for the sentence to be overturned . nikki : he was very clear about his intentions . michael : ohh . nick : well , maybe michael can explain this for us . michael : ohh , okay , what ? explain what ? nick : my father 's marriage to sharon . why the hell is it continuing ? michael : i think that is something best discussed among the family and not with me . nick : way to stay impartial . michael : that was my goal . oh , lawyer announcement -- i just wanted to let you know that victor will be released within the next couple of days . nikki : couple of days ? that 's ridiculous . he 's already been in prison for weeks . victor should n't have to stay in there one second longer than he needs to be . [ scene_break ] victor : what do you want ? adam : you know why i 'm here . beauty of nature 's being sold to the highest bidder today . this is my first major deal since taking over newman , and i figured you might want to congratulate me in person .

( cell phone rings ) ashley : hello , tucker . tucker : hey . i got your message . what 's wrong ? ashley : where are you ? tucker : i 'm at home . what 's going on ? ashley : i 'll be right there . i got ta run , and i 'll be in touch with you , okay ? genevieve : okay . ashley : take care . genevieve : you , too . jack : in touch about what ? genevieve : oh ... ( laughs ) spending a little more girl time together . your sister traci is gon na come , too . jack : whatever they tell you about me , none of it is true . genevieve : are you really worried about them saying something embarrassing ? jack : yeah , maybe a little bit . genevieve : ( laughs ) really ? jack : seriously , i am thrilled they are reaching out to you -- thrilled . genevieve : yeah , i am really looking forward to getting to know traci better . oh , they -- already , i 'm very fond of ashley , though . ( sighs ) it 's just such a shame ... jack : what 's a shame ? genevieve : i -- you know , you and -- and tucker going head - to - head for beauty of nature . i feel terrible for ashley . i hate it when business comes between family . jack : do n't worry about ashley . this time tomorrow , ashley wo n't be in the middle of anything . beauty of nature will belong to someone else . i have to believe that 's gon na be me . genevieve : well , i know what your bid is , 'cause you showed it to me , and it 's exorbitant , but it is not a sure thing . jack : i did my homework on my rivals . believe me , no one is going to outbid me . tucker 's a big boy . he 'll learn to live with his disappointment . genevieve : what if you do n't get it , jack ? i 'm really worried about that . i 'm very -- jack : i wo n't even allow for the possibility . [ scene_break ] nick : this does n't make any sense , mom . i mean , why would dad and sharon be keeping up this charade ? what does it buy them ? nikki : she 's the one who has everything to gain . nick : sharon does not need dad 's money . nikki : it 's his connections . how do you think she got shared custody of faith ? nick : dad was willing to spend the rest of his life in prison so you could walk , mom . only a person who is crazy in love with someone does something like that . and now you two can finally be together , and he 's willing to just throw it all away so he could be with a younger woman ? nikki : well , i guess that is very attractive to him , and sharon is very attractive . she will look nice on his arm . nick : oh , yeah , dad needs that . nikki : it 's your father 's pride at work . nick : and that trumps everything , does n't it ? i mean , it 's over his kids , his grandkids . you know , maybe this gesture he made was less about helping you and more about making him feel good . i mean , dad 's always gon na look out for himself first , right ? nikki : honey , i 'm sorry he 's hurt you again . nick : i mean , do n't you just want to grab dad and shake him , and make him understand what he is throwing away with you ? nikki : there 's no point . nick : mom , how can you accept this ? nikki : nicholas , i have to , and so do you , since we ca n't change victor 's and sharon 's mind . [ scene_break ] adam : wo n't be long before all the bids are in . i 've heard you might be getting out of here soon . wo n't be soon enough to stop the sale of beauty of nature . dad , i know you must be frustrated , stuck behind this glass wall -- you ca n't do anything while i sell off your beloved cosmetics division , but listen to me . newman is going to make truckloads of cash from this deal , including the assets that we acquire . that alone should turn your frown upside down . victor : that 's not why you 're selling it . it has everything to do with you wanting to stick it to me . do you think you 're beating me ? ( door closes ) [ scene_break ] jack : come in . myrna : ( disguised voice ) uh , has mrs. atkinson left ? jack : uh , yeah , a while ago . myrna : i - i tried to get here earlier , but , um ... i - i got busy . jack : how are things going out at the lake house by yourself ? myrna : oh , fine , thank you . um , these are your presents , and , uh , uh , this is , uh , her mail . it 's all been sorted , and what needs her attention is right here on top . jack : okay , i 'll see that she gets it -- myrna : oh ! oh , i 'm -- i 'm so clumsy . i 'm so clumsy . jack : no , i 've got it , i 've got it . it 's okay . i 've got it . oh , here . here . okay , um ... myrna : um , okay , i need to go . uh , my cab 's waiting for me . okay . jack : ok -- uh ... thank you . myrna : mm - hmm . genevieve : i brought my wedding dress home . no fair peeking before the ceremony . jack : yeah , you just missed myrna . she dropped by with , uh , a couple of gifts and , uh , your mail . genevieve : oh , we get anything good ? jack : well , you got a bank statement from your bank in the cayman islands . why did n't you tell me about this ? [ scene_break ] ashley : you 're planning to bid on beauty of nature and you did n't tell me . why ? tucker : i 'm not gon na make a bid . ashley : well , that 's not what i heard . tucker : ( sighs ) i need to make certain people believe that am . ashley : certain people . you mean like your wife ? my brother ? really ? tucker : it 's a sting . the s.e.c . offered me a chance to clear my name in exchange for bringing someone else down . ashley : someone else ? like whom ? tucker : adam . i 'm waitin ' for a call from him right now . as soon as that comes in , the final part of the plan will be in motion . [ scene_break ] michael : yeah , uh , spencer , i heard you were dining out . i 'm sorry , i must have just missed you . ( laughs ) yes , this is about victor . no , um , no . spencer , question -- how are the voters gon na feel when they find out their district attorney is keeping a man who should be free in prison ? [ scene_break ] victor : you do battle with me , i will eviscerate you . adam : well , i would n't want you to lose control . i 'd hate to get the better of you . victor : you 're dreaming now , are n't you ? adam : you want to know the sick , twisted , even sad thing about this whole situation ? victor : mm - hmm . adam : nicholas bailed , victoria bailed . but i love -- i love running newman , and i do it just like you do it -- with drive , intellect , skill . but somehow , some way , you 're angry about this . it makes no sense to me . victor : you 're delusional , son . adam : i 'd like to linger and have you hurl your ineffective threats at me , but i have to go back to work . got ta make the money . do n't forget , i 'll let you know who buys beauty of nature . victor : good . adam : ( knocks on door ) adam : so you 're here to talk to my father ? sharon : what are you here for ? adam : i 'm doing business with the old man . i 'd wait a minute or two . conversation did n't go so well . victor : i did n't know you 'd be back so soon . sharon : i do n't think you 're being honest with me . are you setting adam up ? [ scene_break ] myrna : hmm . i wonder how things are going with the happy couple . ( chuckles ) i bet jack wo n't like all the billions of secrets genevieve 's keeping from him . [ scene_break ] genevieve : myrna should have been more careful . jack : i saw that bank statement quite by accident . myrna is not the issue . genevieve : so what is the issue ? jack : you should n't have kept this from me . genevieve : ( laughs ) you know , our relationship happened really fast . we never had the money conversation , ever , and ... i do n't know . i did n't think that we had to disclose a lot our personal financial information . jack : no , y -- no , it 's just -- i - i ... ( exhales sharply ) i made certain assumptions . genevieve : i told you i did n't need any money . jack : yeah , but this , it -- of course , it begs the larger question -- if all this cash came from colin , how long before we have the i.r.s . knocking at our door ? genevieve : he had some legitimate businesses , too . jack : i 'm not sure your ex 's definition of `` legit `` would square with the tax man 's . genevieve : i have n't had any issues . i 've got great accountants um , if a question were to arise , i would let you know immediately . ( laughs ) i do n't want to fight with you about money . jack : then let 's not . [ scene_break ] ashley : adam is such a piece of work . i mean , he 's planning -- he 's planning on rigging the bidding . tucker : he has someone in the accounting office ready to unseal the offers , so he and i will know what top dollar is . ashley : and then you beat it , and beauty of nature is yours . tucker : well , what adam does n't know is that it 'll never get that far . ashley : because the s.e.c . is gon na step in and arrest him for insider trading . i get it . tucker : there you go . you know , i got ta hand it to victor . as soon as he found out what adam was up to , he put this whole thing in motion to bring the punk down . ashley : i still wish you 'd told me from the beginning tucker : i know , darlin ' . ashley : i 'm your wife . tucker : i could n't . ashley : ( scoffs ) tucker : i could n't . ashley : really ? tucker : no . i should n't have said this much . i 'm bound by a confidentiality agreement . it 's part of my deal with the s.e.c . ashley : well , okay . i guess , at last , you 'll be out from under their shadow , right ? tucker : well , that 's a bonus , but that 's not why i 'm in this . i wanted to make adam pay . ashley : for what ? your past business dealings with him ? tucker : no . i want him to pay for what he did to you . ashley : to me ? tucker : i saw what you went through when you had to hand faith over to her real parents . ashley : i know . we hardly knew each other then , huh ? tucker : i never forgot . [ scene_break ] becca : the accounting firm called with an update . adam : how many bids have we got ? becca : five . they 're locked in the safe . adam : thank you . [ scene_break ] sharon : victor , please tell me , are you conspiring against adam ? victor : that 's an odd question . sharon : i do n't know how tucker fits into this , but i saw him shaking hands with adam yesterday , and afterwards , he came here and saw you . victor : well , nothing unusual about that . tucker 's a businessman . sharon : you 've been very evasive when i 've asked you about tucker , and about those agents who were here earlier . victor : what agents ? sharon : i saw them watching adam at gloworm . later , i went out to the parking lot and noticed that they had government plates . what are they ? fbi ? s.e.c . ? victor : they 're from the s.e.c . sharon : so that 's why you wanted me to be your proxy at the board , why you wanted me to change my vote suddenly . victor : no . i would have wanted you to be my proxy anyway , okay ? sharon : how long does this go back ? is -- is this why you rehired adam ? victor : sharon , under no circumstances do i want you to feel used or do i want to hurt you . you know how deeply i care about you . sharon : i just wish you would have told me . victor : by not knowing , i thought it would be safer for you . sharon : safer ? victor : you must know that we 'll all be better off with adam out of the way . sharon : i do . victor : it 'll all be over soon , okay ? sharon : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nikki : sweetheart , i know . all right , we 'll talk later . bye , victoria . nick : how 's vick ? nikki : not thrilled with the way your father 's handling things . nick : i 'm gon na go talk to dad right now . nikki : no , no , no . no , you are not . do n't you make a war out of this . nick : is n't that what he 's doing ? nikki : he has asked us to be patient . nick : no , he asked you to be patient , mom . nikki : yes , he asked me to be patient , and ... i do n't know . there 's -- there 's just something about the way he said it . nick : really , mom ? nikki : i am going to try to do as he has asked , and i think you should , too . nick : ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] adam : yeah , i 'll see you in 20 minutes . yes , at the back entrance . have the bids ready for me to look at . thank you .

[ scene_break ] sharon : ( sighs ) faith . mommy 's in a terrible spot , and i do n't know what to do . what 's right ? hmm . you know , i love victor for always being there for me and helping me get custody of you . that 's ... it 's a big deal . ( sighs ) but then he used me . he says he did n't , but he did , to get back at adam . i agreed to stay away from adam , but i do not want to see him get hurt . if i helped victor destroy adam , i just -- i could n't live with myself , but warning adam means betraying victor . god , what do i do ? [ scene_break ] tucker : ( chuckles ) ashley : you know what 's not funny ? tucker : what ? ashley : adam coming after you when he finds out that you 've scammed him . tucker : no , no , no . listen . i wo n't even be there when they take him down . i 'm just the bait . ashley : mm . tucker : he 'll never know i even played a role in this . ashley : what about jack ? he 's gon na ... ( scoffs ) i 'm never gon na hear the end of it once he finds out he does n't have a chance to buy beauty of nature . i will never hear the end . tucker : listen , i think he 'll be happy with the outcome -- adam out of business with the feds all over him . ashley : that 's true , and thank goodness for genevieve . i mean , they 're getting married and starting a new life . hopefully , that 'll put all of this in perspective .

[ clears throat ] victor : how are you ? what can i do for you ? or do i need to ask ? jill : it 's actually what i can do for you . victor : you know i enjoy our conversations a lot , but there 's not a hell of a lot you can do for me . have a seat . jill : i think by this time , we are past the smoke and mirrors . let 's talk chancellor , shall we ? victor : i 'm not selling . jill : yeah , but see ? newman - chancellor is hurting . it 's hurting very , very badly . i told you that backing this warehouse - development project was a bad call . and now everybody knows you 're the seller . whoa ! you can take a huge hit for that . and so is newman - chancellor . victor : but i got news for you . al - estate prices are going up , so i 'm gon na make a fortune . jill : except if that pesky impact study quashes the sale , then you 're not gon na get the influx of capital that you need . victor : oh ! now you think i need an influx of capital ? you read my mind , or what ? jill : i can help you save face , and i can make you a bundle . and i may be your last hope . victor : [ chuckles ] you 're my last hope ? well ... abby : is it possible to overload on the product ? stitch : well , i suppose you could go swimming in a vat of it , but not sure anybody would want to be around you . abby : no , i mean use it in other applications . stitch : you mean to add the fragrance to soaps and shampoos ? abby : yeah , and skin cream . i mean , have you and my mom discussed the cumulative effect ? oh , come on . i know big words . stitch : that 's a big one . [ chuckles ] cumulative . ashley : have you seen this ? stitch : `` newman - chancellor reviving ... `` abby : brash and sassy . stitch : yeah , what -- what is this ? this means ... abby : no , you were n't a teenage girl in the ' 90s , so you probably would n't understand , but this is huge . it 's iconic . and wait -- it 's back ? ashley : this is victor and victoria trying to steal our thunder and beat us to market . stitch : could they roll product out before ours ? abby : well , they have instant branding and a marketing entree , but as far as product development goes , who knows at they have . ashley : exactly . who knows what they have . but more importantly , do they know what we have ? stitch : whoa . hold up . victoria and i do n't talk about business . ashley : so , you do n't know that she 's relaunching a heritage brand ? stitch : yeah , she mentioned a new venture , but nothing specific . abby : how bad is this for us ? ashley : best - case scenario -- it 's a compliment and victor 's threatened . worst - case scenario -- he knows what we have , he knows how to make it , and that would be very , very bad for us . stitch : [ chuckles ] what are you saying ? that i spilled information about our product ? ashley : men have done far less for love . jill : i may not be your last hope , but i do n't see a whole lineup of people behind me waiting to help you out . victor : i 'll be damned . how kind of you to want to protect me . jill : i 'm a very kind and generous soul . victor : oh , yes , do n't we know . you know , in spite of your kindness and generosity and in spite of the latest development , the sale will go through . jill : this is me , okay ? i am not some corporate neophyte who thinks you part the red sea . i have seen you up and down and in between . [ both laugh ] victor : yeah , yeah , yeah . you and i have been in many positions , have n't we ? jill : that 's why i know you need the cash , my friend . you need a lot of cash . victor : oh , yeah ? jill : yeah . victor : how the hell do you know that ? jill : because you 're messing with nikki 's son 's business , all right ? you 're trying to sell crimson lights out from under dylan . now , you would not be risking nikki 's wrath nor her health if you could help it . victor : you know , i 'm touched by your concern for nikki 's health . jill : this bonaventure mess ... victor : right . jill : ... has turned chancellor into a stuck pig . victor : ah . and you want to take that stuck pig off my hands . is that it ? jill : chancellor should have been mine . you know it , and i know it . i ran it . i ran it well . and i love it . and god knows why katherine left it to you . victor : you and i both know why she did . because she thought it would be in safer hands with me . jill : i want chancellor . i want it back . victor : ai n't gon na happen . jill : [ laughs ] you 're funny . you 're very funny . chancellor eventually will be what it should always have been . mine . now , why not do this as friends instead of enemies , huh ? phyllis : you planted this in our living room right where jack would find it . kelly : jack found that wig in his house ? phyllis : our house . his and mine . kelly : a wig was found in your house , and what ? you think that i planted it there ? phyllis : yeah . to make jack think i went to the florist with a blonde wig . but somehow i gave them my own name , as if i were that stupid . you see , if i was gon na destroy your life , i would commit , not pull this half - ass - job stuff that you were trying to frame me for . kelly : it is not my fault , phyllis , if you slipped up . and it is not my fault if jack is finally starting to realize the truth about you . phyllis : you scattered roses all around your bed like some ridiculous schoolgirl 's vision of romance . the night i planned for jack was n't like that at all , because i 'm a woman . i 'm an adult . and i just happen to know what jack wants . kelly : well , according to you , he wants a deranged fiancée waving a wig around a public place . phyllis : admit what you did , or we go to war like you ca n't even imagine . kelly : okay , phyllis . let 's just do this . once and for all . hilary : we ca n't do this , okay ? you ca n't be here . devon : this was supposed to be our alone time away from everybody . hilary : lily can come out any second . devon : i need this time with you . hilary : not like this . devon : then how ? hilary : i 'm here with your sister , okay ? and where does gwen think you are ? devon : i do n't care where gwen thinks i am . i do n't want to think about her or neil or anybody else right now . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . me neither . i just ... just give me some time , okay ? i will fix this somehow . we 'll have our time together . lily : yeah , and hilary is seriously stressed out . cane : how can she be stressed out ? she 's at a spa . lily : well , we have n't started treatments yet , but i just did n't realize how much her job and things at home were getting to her . and speaking of home , how are you holding up without me ? cane : doing okay . your dad 's giving me some tips and tricks on how to run the club and mind the kids . lily : you are my hero . how can i repay you ? cane : have fun there for me , okay , and relax . i love you . lily : all right . love you , too . bye . cane : all right . girls are relaxing . spa treatments are about to begin . neil : nice . colin : hey , just the ticket . a new beginning . you and chancellor , back where katherine always meant you to be . cane : [ sighs ] well , we have n't quite gotten there yet , dad . colin : but you will be , my boy . neil : you got to get through victor first . and that 's no easy feat . colin : yeah , but it can be done . neil : well , on rare occasion . you know what ? just when you think victor is down for the count , he comes back stronger , he comes back harder than ever . you 'll never see it coming , let me tell you . gwen : hello . cane : hey . neil : hi . hi , gwen . gwen : saw a table of handsome , powerful men . thought i 'd say hello . colin : oh , that 'd be me . cane : no , she 's talking about ... colin : let 's you and i adjourn and have a little chat . cane : sure . neil : okay , guys . have a good one . i - i have to talk to gwen , anyway . gwen : about what ? neil : well ... i have a favor to ask of you . colin : let 's you and me hammer out a plan to get back chancellor . cane : dad , all right , listen . this is something jill and i are doing , okay ? unfortunately , you do n't factor in , all right ? colin : sure , i do . unless , of course , you want this to be just a pipe dream . cane : it 's not gon na be a pipe dream , and jill and i know chancellor , and we have both dealt with victor . sorry . colin : look , i have the utmost respect for both of you . cane : uh - huh . colin : but this is where you need access to my wicked , wicked ways . i mean , it takes a scoundrel to catch a scoundrel . jill : this is the way you want to part with chancellor -- doing business with a friend , with somebody who knows you [ chuckles ] and respects you . i will even let you draft the press release . um , change of heart , respect for me , dear katherine , you want to concentrate on newman , yadda , yadda , yadda . you 'll come out the better man . it 'll help polish up your image after publicly trying to destroy your wife 's son . victor : and you would do that for me ? i 'm touched . how lucky i am that you came into my office today . jill : i told you i 'm very generous . victor : i 'm so touched by your generosity . jill : [ laughs ] victor : but i 'm not . and you and cane do n't have the financial wherewithal to buy a corporation of this size , unless you want me to take an iou . jill : i got a little something that i can shake out of my piggy bank . i 've been saving for a rainy day . victor : [ chuckles ] how much do you have in your piggy bank ? jill : how much do you want , victor ? phyllis : is this what stalkers do in their free time ? drink tea ? kelly : i 'm trying to be civil here , phyllis . phyllis : well , is n't that just darling , coming from the woman who set me up . why do n't you admit what you did , or do n't waste my time . kelly : phyllis , would you stop , please ? i did n't -- phyllis : you 're backpedaling . kelly : look , i know what it 's like to love jack . i know what it 's like to be wounded by him . phyllis : oh , yeah , so wounded you went all `` operation frame my fiancée `` on us . kelly : how could i plant a wig in your house ? i do n't even have a key anymore . phyllis : i have to believe you can get a copy of a key at a hardware store . but unfortunately for you , we changed the locks this morning . kelly : would you please stop making me the villain here ? phyllis : oh , oh , wait a minute . that 's right . that 's right . you 're the pure and innocent , little flower , and i 'm the rabid , pissed off former coma patient , right ? that 's the game we 're playing here . kelly : why does anybody have to be the villain ? yes , you were in a coma , right ? nobody would blame you for acting out and framing me to look like a -- phyllis : bunny boiler ? kelly : you 're really gon na have to stop with the name - calling , phyllis . just go to jack . ask him for help . phyllis : i 'm sorry . are you giving me guidance ? kelly : no , i am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt . there could be a medical excuse for what you did . phyllis : what 's your excuse for being a sneaky bitch ? kelly : okay . i 'm gon na take a minute here , and i would like you to do the same -- to take a minute and calm down and think . really think about what you 're doing , phyllis . phyllis : tea 's cold . kelly : i 'll have someone bring you some more hot water . meanwhile , i have to get back to work . phyllis : work ? what does that mean ? folding napkins into swans or ... ? kelly : i do n't have to stand here and humor you or talk to you like you 're some kind of rational person when you have bullied me and humiliated me . and why ? all because jack had the gall to care about me ? phyllis : i have done nothing to you . you have done all of this by setting me up , and i swear i will get you to say the words . kelly : look at you . you 're in a public place , and you 're ready for a cat fight , are n't you ? why do n't you come over here , honey ? why do n't you slap me around and pull my hair and do whatever women like you do ? and then you go and you explain that to jack . phyllis : do n't say his name . do not talk about him . and do not think you can mess with me and not pay for it . kelly : are n't you forgetting something ? abby : `` reviving a heritage brand for new market . brash and sassy -- organic essences . `` ashley : note the use of our buzzwords . stitch : okay , okay . `` organic essences `` is pretty standard right now . ashley : that story is not for the public . it 's for us . it 's a message from victor to us . abby : wait . do you think he knows our ingredients ? because if dad knows , then game over . but how could he ? stitch : there it is . another look in my direction . abby : hey , we 're all in the same room . i got to look at someone . but if you 're feeling guilty about something ... stitch : okay , victoria and i do n't talk about these things . you want to wire me up for a lie - detector test ? abby : you convinced cops and a judge that you killed your own father . i 'm pretty sure you could pass a test about a perfume . stitch : okay , you know , i can take that from her , but you and i , if you do n't feel like you can trust me , we got a problem . if you think i gave information to victoria , then just go ahead and fire me right now . ashley : i 'm not gon na fire you . i 'm gon na fire you . tobias : what ? i was just in the break room . ashley : you 're a mole planted here by victor . and i 've humored him and you for far too long by letting you stay here . tobias : victor new -- ashley : stop it . did victor tell you that the pictures you were taking of those files were just garbage ? because they were . you were basically taking photos of a chemical formula for tequila . and i 'm sure that victor probably figured that out immediately , and yet you still came to work day after day . why is that ? tobias : i ... like it here . ashley : please do n't insult my intelligence . you got nothing from me or my lab . that means there 's another mole out there that was able to g viable information . you know what i did ? i let my guard down . i thought you were neutralized . but there 's somebody else . give me a name and i wo n't have you arrested . cane : this is what we call a legitimate business , all right ? so your expertise and your scurrilous ways , they do n't apply . colin : bu you see , i beg to differ . i could guide the chancellor ship through shark - infested waters . you and my missus , of course . cane : but there you go . see , there 's no ship because victor does n't want to sell . [ both laugh ] cane : you see ? colin : it 's a bluff . everyone knows that company 's up the creek without a paddle . cane : okay , everybody also knows that victor loved katherine and victor hates to lose , so he 's not gon na hand over chancellor . colin : everyone has a price . jill : would you like to see victor 's price ? it will make your eyeballs bleed . cane : wait , wait , wait . do you have the figure ? jill : yep . take a look at that . colin : it 's an opening volley . jill : it 's an opening nightmare . cane : do you think he means it ? jill : [ sighs ] what does it matter if he means it ? we do n't have it . neil : you know , gwen , that conversation that you and i had about where things stand with u and devon ? i thank you for that . i appreciate it . gwen : might have been more than you wanted to know . but i was sharing the joy that day , and i spilled to hilary , too . neil : hmm . gwen : i 'm calmer now . but things with devon and i are still great . neil : i got an idea . why do n't we have all three of us have dinner ? hilary 's at the spa . and maybe you can keep this old blind man company . gwen : i would love to have dinner , but devon texted this morning . he had to go away on business . neil : where 's that man off to now ? gwen : he did n't say , but it sounded important , like he could n't say no . jack : doctor , i have known and loved phyllis for i ca n't even tell you how long . she 's an amazing woman . she 's complex , at times frustrating , but i accept that . that 's who she is . i love her for every bit of it . she 's changed . i need to know if this procedure of yours , if -- if patients are waking up changed , acting out in ways even they do n't understand . i need to know that . [ door opens ] phyllis : hello . jack : hi , sweetheart . this is dr. cutler . i do n't think the two of you have officially met . dr. cutler : it 's wonderful to see you with your eyes open . phyllis : you 're the doctor with the magic coma juice . dr. cutler : [ chuckles ] it 's an interesting way to put it , but yes . that 's me . phyllis : yes , i can turn a phrase , that 's for sure . but that 's -- that 's not why you 're here . jack : dr. cutler is here because i invited him . phyllis : gotcha . jack is wondering if i woke up loopy . but that is not about you or me , for that matter . there is a woman by the name of kelly who is doing a bang - up job of making jack question my sanity . jack : i called dr. cutler because i love you . do you want to figure this out or not ? ashley : victor hired you to steal trade secrets . you failed miserably . did you know that victor hates failures ? he 's never gon na hire you again . ever . your career 's over . but you give me the name of the successful mole , and i wo n't call the cops right now and have you arrested for corporate espionage . tobias : i do n't know . i gave him photos of those files with the formulas , but other than that , that 's it . if there 's someone else , i do n't know . i swear to you , ashley . ashley : i do n't know what victor was thinking with you . just go . tobias : but -- ashley : go ! now ! stitch : hey , i 'll take this . i 'll make sure you get to your car . no detours . unless you want to question me next . ashley : just get him out . tobias : ashley , please . stitch : come on . abby : you almost made tobias cry . i want to be you . ashley : he definitely does n't know anything about the formula for our fragrance , but that does n't mean that victor has n't found out another way . abby : maybe it was stitch . he was doing a lot of protesting earlier , and he did con the whole world . what ? ashley : please just stop with the baseless accusations . give me five minutes of quiet . i just need to think , okay ? this is really , really , really important . abby : uh , you were practically accusing him yourself earlier , but yet i 'm not allowed to say anything ? yeah , yeah . that 's reasonable . ashley : what the hell is that ? abby ? what was that ? let me have it . what was that ? abby : it might be a little bit of the product . ashley : you stole that ? ! abby : no , i - i just borrowed it . it was a sample . ashley : that 's never supposed to leave the premises , not for any circumstances ! you know that ! abby : i know , i know . i was just -- i was gon na put a little on victoria and shove her towards billy . ashley : what are you thinking ? abby : i 'm sorry . ashley : was this around victor at all ? he could have analyzed that ! abby : mom , he does n't have it , i swear . at least he did n't get it from me . ashley : could victor have had that ? tell me the truth . abby : mom , if dad has gotten in your head , then he has already won . regardless of whether or not he has the compound . ashley : you 're right . i 'm sorry . it 's just , you know , this whole thing is so big . i mean , this could be what jabot and i are known for the years to come . abby : and it will be . and i love being a part of this . i would never do anything to hurt you or this project . ashley : victor 's definitely sniffing around . i have to find out exactly what he knows . abby : if anyone can take on my father , it 's my mother . cane : basically victor is holding chancellor for ransom . jill : if i could just get my hands on katherine 's neck one last time ... cane : well , we do n't have that kind of capital , and we never will , so ... colin : never say never , my boy . jill : you know what we need ? we need to look for investors . cane : uh , investors who would interfere with our control ? colin : you only need one . and perhaps i can help . jill : how ? how would you help ? neil : he 's not even answering his phone , huh ? must be one hell of a meeting . gwen : very hush - hush . but that 's what i love about devon . he does n't brag . he does n't publicize . but you know he 's always a mover and a shaker . hilary : no , please , you take the first massage . lily : but i just feel so guilty . this was your spa trip . hilary : yeah , well , i am not the one with a job and two kids , okay ? go . go . enjoy . lily : okay , okay . i 'll see you later . hilary : be down soon . lily : all right . hilary : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] devon : she 's gone . hilary : so , you 're here to talk . devon : there 's never enough time for us . jack : sweetheart , this is not about kelly . just forget her . phyllis : yeah , i 'd love to . maybe i should go to sharon 's ect doctor . zap it all out . that was a joke . jack : listen , victor played god and submitted you to experimental treatment without any regard to the residual effects . dr. cutler : my methods are clearly effective . but aftercare is imperative . now , i 'd like to examine you in my facility . phyllis : right . thanks for coming . dr. cutler . goodbye . jack : phyllis , dr. cutler was -- phyllis : was bought and paid for by victor . thank you for waking me up , but i am happy with the neurologist i have now . dr. cutler : i have an expertise in this situation that your neurologist does not . and no one owns me , ms . newman . phyllis : jack should n't have called you . now that i am awake and sane , if i need a doctor , i can call him . i do n't . dr. cutler : i 'll be in town until tomorrow if you reconsider . phyllis : are you staying at the athletic club ? because if you see a crazy - eyed blonde walking around , you should stay clear of her . jack : thank you , doctor , for stopping by . dr. cutler : i 'll show myself out . [ door closes ] phyllis : how did you get him to come here ? what did you tell him ? jack : there is nothing wrong with some follow - up medical care . phyllis : yeah , there is , when you think i 'm crazy . stitch : kelly ? kelly : hey . hi . stitch : oh . you , too . not the best day ? kelly : not the best day . stitch : yeah . this about jack ? kelly : and his maniacal fiancée who 's now calling me a stalker . stitch : oh , my god . what happened ? kelly : it 's too convoluted , but suffice it to say , i - i 'm being blamed yet again for something i did not do . stitch : and that 's frustrating as hell . kelly : yes . stitch : yeah . you can explain and defend , but i guess people are gon na think what they want to think , right ? kelly : and why believe phyllis and not me ? i mean , what have i ever done that comes close to what that woman is capable of ? i mean , i - i could n't , ben . i - i would n't . how do i make jack under -- oh . stitch : kelly ? kelly : oh ! stitch : hey . hey . kelly : ben , something 's wro -- stitch : kelly . kelly : [ exhales deeply ] stitch : kelly ! ashley : tell me . have you heard from tobias lately ? i fired him for corporate espionage . he was unbelievably inept . but you still seem to have acquired some information regarding our formula . victor : who the hell is tobias ? ashley : `` organic essences `` ? those were the buzzwords you used in your press release , and you used them to needle me . victor : really ? ashley : mm - hmm . victor : so , you based your formula on organic essences ? is that it ? ashley : i do n't know what it is , but your antics just are n't as entertaining as they used to be . victor : ah . ashley : you know very well that we are using a rare root extract from central america . but you do n't know how we apply it . you do n't know the concentration . and you do n't know the other ingredients , and you never will , so could you please just stop with the moles and stop with the press releases that are designed merely to annoy me ? will you please just stop wasting my time ? victor : so , it 's no longer a formula based on some nonsense that produces tequila ? ashley : [ laughs ] you know , that 's practically an admission of guilt , is n't it ? you 're spying . victor : i thought you would enjoy this game as much as i do , you know . but if you do n't , let 's just end this in a draw and in friendship . ashley : i 'm so happy that after all these years , we still understand each other .

[ both laugh ] jack : yes , i love you . and yes , you have pulled stunts in the past that are beyond outrageous . i am talking about here and now and the fact that victor did n't give a damn about you or me or summer when he got involved in your case . he pulled strings , he played games to get dr. cutler to do his bidding . we need to play catch - up now to make sure there are no unintended consequences . phyllis : like what ? that my brain is scrambled ? jack : oh , come on , red . phyllis : what ? ! you know what ? okay , victor played god . you know what ? it worked . i 'm awake because victor played games and pulled strings ! it 's more than you did ! jack : okay , i fully expect victor to throw those words in my face , but for you to say those things ? phyllis : i am saying a rational fact here , like a lucid , normal person . or do you want to call me crazy again ? stitch : was it her heart ? our mother just had a heart attack . maybe it 's a family predisposition . she 's been under a lot of stress . well , it was n't stress , stitch . it was poison .

dr. anderson : you think i have some sort of hidden agenda ? that -- that 's absurd . nick : okay , maybe sage is wrong . maybe you are just an incredibly dedicated therapist . but , sandy , if there is something happening here , i want to know about it now so i can deal with it so this does n't affect my life any more than it already has . dr. anderson : an agenda that somehow revolves around you ? i 've worked with your ex - wife professionally , and i 've only tried to help your current wife struggle through the tremendous loss that she ca n't even begin to handle on her own . nick : okay , right there . you see that ? right there . you make it sound like sage is unstable . dr. anderson : she verbally attacked me in public , unprovoked . nick : my wife is the one who 's feeling provoked . dr. anderson : loss and regret can do terrible things to a person . they impact their judgment . see , right now , sage has you badgering me over friendly advice . can you admit that that 's not rational ? nick : that is not an answer . do you have an agenda or not ? dr. anderson : nick , see this from my perspective . i see a mother and a father who have lost their child . i see two people who are convincing themselves they 're getting by . nick : see , i actually think we 're doing pretty well under the circumstances . dr. anderson : are you ? nick : yeah . we live together again . it 's working . dr. anderson : i advised you to give her space . sage moved out so she could find out how much she needed you like i mapped out . i mean , that 's exactly what you wanted . but instead of thanking me , you 're making accusations . you do n't want my help ? fine . i wo n't offer it anymore . honestly , i do n't need the hassle . nick : sandy . sandy , wait . please . sandy . are you a patient of dr. anderson 's ? sage : prospective , actually . um , my husband and i suffered a loss recently . our -- our baby passed away , and dr. anderson was recommended to us for counseling . but it 's kind of hard to talk to a stranger . i feel like the more i know about her , the easier it 'll be for that connection to happen when we meet . and i know there 's information on the memorial website . i saw that . but personal stuff -- that 's the key , do n't you think ? i mean , is she married ? does she have children ? will she understand what we 're going through ? i think i heard the doctor was married . sage : oh , okay . well , that 's -- that 's good . maybe anderson 's her married name ? [ sighs ] i would n't know . sage : okay , thank you so much . that 's a really good place to start , nurse . jack : is -- is he unconscious ? is he asleep ? your text said he was awake . victoria : he was awake , jack . he said my name . i would n't let him talk after that , but ... [ sighs ] he smiled at me . phyllis : oh , my god . oh , my god . jack : what did the doctor say ? victoria : they 're hopeful . very . jack : then why are you sounding like that ? victoria : well ... there could be some residual trauma . and until billy wakes up and they do some testing ... jack : they need to assess if there are any damages . [ sighs ] if billy is n't billy , it will be my fault . luca : whoa , whoa . you 're going to the police station now ? noah : yeah , i am . luca : you 're gon na tell them that victor abducted marisa ? that could be blowing his chances of getting adam back . noah : adam 's a big boy . he can take care of himself . so is my grandfather . but marisa is god knows where with god knows who . luca : you 'd turn on your family for marisa 's sake ? noah : you sound surprised , luca . but , you see , that 's the reason you lost marisa in the first place , because when you love somebody , you actually love them , you risk anything -- anything -- to keep them safe . marisa : somebody ! somebody help me ! [ breathing heavily ] help ! ah ! dylan : okay , where is she right now ? kevin : she 's in a hotel where nobody can get to her . mariah : kevin ? kevin : hey , what are you doing here ? mariah : hi . i need to talk to you in private . kevin : oh , if this is about our friend , you can talk in front of dylan . i 've brought him up to speed . mariah : okay , well , i wish your hacker buddy was willing to wait and see how things played out . kevin : what are you talking about ? mariah : she 's gone . natalie ran out on me . kevin : gone where ? gone how ? mariah : how is kind of pointless , and where -- i have no idea . dylan : okay , if victor finds her before we do ... kevin : then he can dangle her to the bad guys in exchange for adam . dylan : okay , do you have a picture of natalie ? i want to send some officers to the airport and make sure she does n't take off . mariah : no , she 's not hopping on a plane . she left all of her stuff and her computer at the gcac . kevin : she left her computer behind ? she 's -- she 's a hacker . she would n't leave a device . i mean , she was probably taken . mariah : no , she was not taken . kevin : you do n't know that . mariah : i do know because she ran off when my back was turned ! and please do n't yell at me . it 's a waste of time . dylan : okay . so if natalie left on her own will , where 'd she go ? victor : get the girl ready to move , all right ? natalie : you have the wrong girl . [ sighs ] victor : who are you ? natalie : the right girl . my name is natalie . i 'm the one everyone wants . victor : really ? i 'll have security escort you out . natalie : so you 're saying you do n't want to see your son alive again . good to know . victor : who are you ? and what do you know ? victor : that 's quite a story . very creative . but not very convincing . please have a seat . natalie : so , i just waltzed in here knowing all about the internet security project ? victor : well , there 's several ways someone could have found out about that project . natalie : i found out about the project because i made it . it 's mine . i let kevin in , and he let you in , so now we 're all partners . victor : but you told me you sold it to someone else , so you betrayed both kevin and me . natalie : kevin said the money would come and it did n't , so i moved on . it 's called business . victor : tell me about business . natalie : clearly things did n't go as planned . there was a problem with my program , a glitch , a tiny one . victor : oh . just a tiny one ? or was it maybe a scam for you to attract as many investors as possible so that 'd give you money ? natalie : i just need time to work the bugs out . but i can and i will . victor : you still have n't explained to me why you 're here . natalie : because the bozos i made a deal with kidnapped your son . [ sighs ] i 'm the girl they 're after . they want me to come fix the program for them and not for you . victor : have they paid you the same $ 2 million that i paid you ? natalie : two ? the price was one . victor : oh . i see . so kevin fisher -- i see -- kept the $ 1 million as a finder 's fee . is that it ? natalie : we can kick his ass later . let 's deal with the issue on the table . victor : and the issue on the table is my son . so you 're here so that we can give you in exchange for my son ? is that it ? we can make that happen . natalie : [ chuckling ] whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i came here to offer you help . let 's talk about this before you make a big mistake . victor : i think you 're the one who made a mistake . phyllis : you did not make a mistake , jack . you have nothing to feel guilty about . victoria : phyllis is right . you did a very brave and loving thing honoring billy 's wishes . this was a family decision . traci was right . jack : i made the wrong call . whatever happens to billy from here on out is on me . victoria : jack , stop . he came back to us . he might have stayed in that awful limbo if you had n't decided to take him off the machines . jack : we do n't know that . phyllis : what we know is that billy was awake , he was talking , even after the doctor said there was no hope . victoria : it 's a miracle . jack : what if there was damage ? i told them to turn the ventilator off . what if he was oxygen deprived or god knows what ? how do i explain that to him ? what do i tell him when he wakes up ? billy : how about `` welcome back `` ? nick : all right , look . what you have done for sharon , i really respect it . but this sudden cutback on her meds ? dr. anderson : wait , that 's between my patient and me . i treat her according to her needs , no one else 's . nick : understood . and sharon 's happy obviously . she and dylan are making a nice life for themselves . but sage is not your patient . you 're always evaluating her and giving her advice and me . that 's not your job . dr. anderson : no , it 's not . you did n't hire me . i do n't bill you . but , nick , how many times have we talked about your feelings , your grief , your marriage ? you seemed grateful at the time . nick : i 'm not sage . dr. anderson : no . until this evening , you were rational . but sage is in turmoil . she 's pushing you away while lashing out at me . i mean , does this seem normal to you ? does her fixation on sharon 's baby seem healthy ? nick : there 's no fixation . dr. anderson : well , only because you choose to ignore the obvious . you and sage are -- you 're playing this like nothing has happened . nick : hardly . we 're working very hard to get through this together the way a normal married couple would . dr. anderson : meanwhile , your wife is accusing me of improper attention towards you . why ? because she 's had a great loss , and now she thinks she 's gon na lose you , too . you guys were married because of the pregnancy . now the child is gone , so she thinks you 're gon na go , too . and that fear is making her attack a professional who is just trying to help her . why does my help threaten her so much ? and why do you trust her paranoia over your own instincts ? and you keep saying that i 'm not sage 's doctor . go get her one . now . before things get worse . [ cell phone vibrates ] mariah : see ? her gear is all here . natalie was n't fleeing from genoa city -- just this room . kevin : or she was going somewhere she could n't risk having her computer with her . dylan : kevin , what are you doing ? kevin : oh , like you 've never seen me do this before ? i 'm gon na help natalie by finding clues as to where she is . is that permissible ? mariah : do n't ask . just hack . kevin : well , she 's a pro . it 's gon na take hours to get through her password . dylan : okay , then we should find a person to deal with instead of a machine . we have three missing people . we got adam , marisa , natalie . and what do they all have in common ? mariah : victor . dylan : exactly . kevin : w - w - w - w - wait , wait ! we ca n't just knock on victor 's door and say , `` hey , where 's this girl you do n't actually know exists ? `` dylan : hold on . if this was just about your hacker friend going awol , i could go straight to victor , but he probably has marisa , so i got to go to paul . kevin : but either way victor 's gon na know i talked to you . dylan : and then what ? kevin , we got three people 's lives at stake right here . that 's the priority . if there 's a fallout with your agreement with victor , i 'm sorry . that 's tough . victor : my mistake was to invest my money in an idea that both kevin fisher and billy boy abbott deemed worthy . natalie : but it 's not just worthy . it 's genius . it 'll change the landscape of the internet , the world . and you love making huge changes . you live for it . victor : what do you know about me ? natalie : you 're a legend . i plan to be one , too . victor : hmm . natalie : you know where i was raised ? victor : no . natalie : an orphanage in zurich . but i got out , changed my name , changed my life . sound familiar ? you went the business route . me , i learned to code , hack . on the web , they ca n't see your face . they do n't hear your voice or know your real name . they either respect your talent or they do n't . i have talent , so i have respect . and i have a program that could make us billions . victor : you 're charming , you know . but you must remember that my son adam is still a hostage , and i think you 're wasting my time . natalie : i 'm offering you a plan . we work the investors , make them think they 're getting what they want -- me and the program -- but meanwhile you keep me safe while i work out the bugs . victor : and you do n't think they 'll realize that they 're being double - crossed and , uh , they wo n't take it out on my son ? natalie : [ sighs ] i know this type . if victor newman calls their bluff , they 'll slink off to their chalets and invest in drones or some new technology . if we do it my way , we can have your son and my program and a brand - new beginning . victor : yeah , well ... sounds good . what if you 're wrong ? natalie : i 'm not . i know it . victor : you 're sure of yourself , are n't you ? i can relate to that . natalie : so you 'll help me ? victor : [ chuckles ] so you 're one of those computer nerds , are n't you ? you 're one of those whiz kids . all right , i 'll help you . marisa : you think i 'm scared of you ? you know you 're expendable . whoever hired you will get rid of you just like they 're trying to do me unless we help each other . no , no , no . no , what are you doing ? coming with me . jack : how you feel , billy ? billy : like hell , jack . but i think it 's better than how you look . jack : it was n't an easy time . we did n't ... there were choices . billy : i 'm sure there were . big ones by the looks of it . probably should have told you about that document i had michael draw up . jack : yeah , the healthcare power of attorney . would have been nice to know about that beforehand . billy : so it got that far , did it ? jack : yeah , it did . and i 'm so sorry . billy : stop . i already told you to stop feeling bad about that . phyllis : when did you tell jack that ? billy : uh ... yesterday . victoria : yesterday ? you were only awake a little while before . billy : crazy dreams . still , will you tell him it 's okay ? phyllis : listen to your brother . your lucid and coherent brother . victoria : we should get a doctor . billy : no , no , please . just stay here for a second . i have no idea what they 're gon na try and stick in me next . so , tell me . how bad did it get ? phyllis : we said goodbye . everybody . billy : ooh . sounds like a good time . so , were you nice or honest ? jack : we love you , billy . phyllis : a little bit of both . billy : it 's probably good i did n't hear it . the dreams , they were , uh ... they felt ... i was floating around , and i could see what you all were going through . delia was there . she ... she told me to go back and fix things . it 's what i 'm gon na do , vick . i swear to you , i 'm gon na fix things . victoria : i believe you . nick : sage ? what are you doing here ? are you not feeling well ? sage : no , i 'm -- i 'm fine . i just came to see if there was news about billy . nick : i just got the text from vick . i guess he 's awake now . sage : oh , that 's great . well , we should go see him . let 's go . nick : hold on . let 's -- let 's give vick some time alone with billy . i want to talk to you anyway about what happened at the coffeehouse with dr. anderson . sage : i do n't want to talk about that right now . let 's go see him . come on . let 's go be grateful . billy : [ groans ] what ? did i gargle glass while i was under ? victoria : you were intubated , so your throat 's gon na hurt . billy : [ sighs ] i do n't remember a thing . victoria : what 's the last thing that you remember ? billy : there was a wedding . phyllis : abby and stitch tied the knot new year 's eve . but you left before the wedding even started . then we got the call . billy : gil . gil and his buddy [ sighs ] in the parking garage . i 'm sorry . victoria : no , no , no . we do n't need to talk about that right now . billy : yeah , we do , vick . i screwed up . jack : you 're not the only one . if i 'd given you that money to invest -- billy : jack , you are just a bundle of guilt . how much time have you spent trying to talk him down ? phyllis : oh , not much . billy : well , if he really wants to invest , you can tell him he can do it now . maybe it 'll soothe your conscience . jack : the thing is , billy , something 's happened , something ... well , let 's just say i just finished throwing things myself . billy : you 're that mad at me , are you ? jack : not at you . on your behalf . victoria : it 's just about the situation . but we do n't really need to talk about that right now . billy : it 's probably better that we do . for me , for you , for jabot . for all of us . jack : okay , billy . here 's the situation . [ door opens ] i went -- nick : aww . he 's awake . some things people do to get some attention . sage : [ chuckles ] billy : i am shameless . luca : if we go to the police now with no proof , there 's no telling what victor will do to marisa . noah : if we do n't stop the trade before it happens , anything could go wrong . look , come with me or not , i 'm not wasting anymore time -- marisa . oh , my god . thank god . luca : what happened ? where were you ? marisa : um , it was -- dylan : i 'm glad you 're back . just , uh , take some time , get your breath . can we get her a water ? and then you can , uh , tell me everything about where you were and who did this to you . kevin : anything in there give you a hint about code or where she is ? notes , messages ? mariah : this is pointless ! kevin : hey , hey , hey . what is with you ? mariah : it 's all going away . our chance , your idea , the deal . money and freedom and a new life -- it 's over ! kevin : no , no , no . it is not over . i am gon na hack into natalie 's computer . we 'll find out where she is , bring her back , boot these other investors , let victor deal with adam , who could disappear forever for all i care . we just have to get natalie back here and we have to keep her safe . this is not over . mariah : keep her safe ? little miss geekster ran out on us ! she does n't give a damn about us , kevin ! she sold the project twice ! victor is going to find out , he 's gon na take her down , and then he 's gon na come after us ! victor : i would very much like to hear about how you developed the program . okay ? would you like one of these ? natalie : is that how you got the other girl , the wrong one , to go peacefully ? slip a little something extra in her drink ? victor : this is straight . very strong . that 's how i like it . sure you do n't want one ? natalie : i have work to do . but i do like a little wine . victor : mm - hmm . natalie : so once you stash me , send in a bottle of red and leave me alone . victor : mm - hmm . okay . that 's what we 'll do . put you in a safe place , a bottle of red wine , and you can work out the bugs in your program , okay ? natalie : what about your son ? victor : i 'll worry about my son . you worry about working on your program . [ knock on door ] come in ! kindly escort this lady to a safe place , all right ? natalie : i need to check in with kevin so he does n't freak . and i need to get my computer and my hard drives , my other gear . victor : make sure that she gets everything she needs . thank you . [ door closes ] billy : thank you for coming , even though you could n't be bothered to shave . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : looking pretty rough yourself , dude . billy : hey , man . i have an excuse . i 've been unconscious . but you , on the other hand , what ? you grow that overnight ? nick : okay , anyone have a pillow ? i think we should put him out of his misery . billy : thank you , though . you guys look good . you look good together . nick : we are . billy : that 's good . i feel like i missed a lot . [ sighs ] i 'm sure it was a hell of a new year 's party . only thing i remember is gil and his buddies with a couple of fists flying and then ... that was it . it 's funny . i thought i could take a punch , but i guess not . phyllis : it was n't an ordinary beating . i 'll tell you that . victoria : well , that 's all in the past . we 're focusing on the future . billy : cops got the guys , right ? because i can i.d . them if -- if i need to . nick : paul handled it . victoria : that 's for another day , okay ? phyllis : she 's right . enough holding court . you need some sleep . plus you look awful . billy : thank you for sugarcoating it . it 's very sweet of you . victoria : but you do need your rest , so thank you guys for coming . jack : hey . we 'll be back . so will you . billy : thank you . seriously . all of you , thank you . [ door closes ] victoria : you know , selfishly , i want to keep you awake and i want to make you keep talking to me so you do n't slip away from me again . but i know you need your rest , so i should go . billy : i do n't deserve this , vick . victoria : being in this bed right now ? no , you do n't deserve that . billy : no . i do n't deserve you here beside me . we both know that . luca : excuse us . this is a private conversation . dylan : uh , okay , yeah . sure . not anymore . i had heard marisa was missing , and i 'd like to help . noah : so it 's -- it 's official now ? you 're part of the gcpd ? dylan : yeah . yeah , it is . noah : does mom know ? dylan : yeah , yeah , she does , noah . you feel more comfortable talking here , or do you want to go to the station ? marisa : i ... i was at the top of the tower talking to noah . some man came up , said he wanted me to meet with victor newman . instead we drove around for what felt like hours , and then i woke up tied to a bed in some room . noah : did anybody hurt you ? luca : are you okay ? what can i do to make this better ? marisa : i 'm fine . i was alone in the room . i yelled , but no one answered . there was no explanation . i do n't even know if victor was to blame . dylan : [ sighs ] noah : uh , my grandfather got a ransom note . marisa : me or adam . luca : victor did n't even deny it . dylan : how 'd you get away ? marisa : he cut me loose , said it was a misunderstanding . drove me here like it never happened . noah : i do n't know . maybe my grandfather came to his senses . luca : while his son is still captive ? no , he just found another strategy . look , i did n't want the cops involved , but now that my wife is safe with me , use that badge and arrest victor newman . dylan : you want me to arrest victor newman ? luca : yes . if not you , then someone with actual experience , you know , someone who 's been a cop for more than 10 minutes . come on . arrest victor . dylan : based on what ? we 're gon na have to find the guy who took marisa . we 're gon na have to prove his connection to victor . if the guy does n't flip , then we 're gon na have to track bank records and phone records . look , even if we get proof and we arrest victor newman , his lawyers are gon na have him out in a heartbeat . meanwhile , adam 's still being held hostage . the guys who have him might panic . they might not panic . maybe adam makes it . maybe he does n't . does that work for you ? luca : okay , so then we do nothing ? just let that egomaniac get away with kidnapping my wife ? dylan : first of all , i 'm sorry that you went through this . it must have been terrifying . marisa : i 've been through worse . dylan : okay , then please just let me pursue this with victor , okay ? let 's see if we can get adam home safely . and if i ca n't resolve it , i 'll go to the gcpd , i 'll go to the chief . and if it has to get big and ugly , then it 's gon na get big and ugly . but right now , let 's just try to contain it so nobody else gets hurt . [ knock on door ] victor : come in ! [ door opens ] victor : dylan ! my goodness . what brings you by ? come in . dylan : i 'm here on police business . victor : oh , you are ? dylan : mm - hmm . victor : my goodness . still playing amateur detective ? you know it 's illegal to impersonate an officer . dylan : great news . not an amateur anymore . victor : look at that . daddy gave you a job . that 's nice . sit down . dylan : so , uh , when were you planning on notifying the police about adam 's kidnapping ? and that the people holding adam , they do n't want money but they want a girl in return ? victor : well , you know , adam is away on business . dylan : yeah , it must have been pretty awkward when you realized it was n't the santori family that grabbed adam and marisa was n't who they wanted after all . victor : mm - hmm . dylan : you know , she 's pretty rattled , if you care to know . victor : well , that was simply a misunderstanding , you know . i 'll have one of my assistants send her some flowers and apologies . dylan : did you put natalie in the same place you kept marisa ? you have her , right ? stashed away until you need her to get adam back ? luca : dylan is so proud of his badge . why does n't he use it to do something useful ? him going to talk to victor alone does nothing . noah : if dylan thinks that this is the best way to approach my grandfather , i say we let him try . he can always bring in reinforcements later . this way maybe nobody does anything rash and nothing worse happens . [ cell phone rings ] luca : that 's my father . he 'll want an update . noah : are you okay ? if something would have happened to you , i swear to god ... marisa : i 've learned a long time ago how to handle these things . noah : you should n't have to , marisa . not then . especially not now . marisa : it 's over . i just shove it to the back of my mind , and it does n't matter . and you , noah , you need to do the same . i saw you when dylan pulled out his badge , the panic in your eyes . it 's like you think that every time this happens that somebody 's gon na magically know that you were the one driving the car . the way to keep a secret is to forget . you lie to everyone , including yourself , and that is the only way to survive . noah : and what about the other people that know ? you , my grandfather ? what about luca ? marisa : what about him ? noah : he said something about how the cameras are never on when victor and his family do n't want them to be . does he know , marisa ? does luca know that i hit billy ? jack : he looked good , huh ? nick : well , it 's a stretch , but it does look like billy . phyllis : it 's incredible . he 's back . sage : it was love . there 's no other explanation for it . his love for victoria , his love for you . seeing his gratitude and the connection that you have -- it 's new to me . i do n't have any siblings , and seeing that , it 's so beautiful . jack : i know you 're all trying to make me feel better about turning my back on my brother . phyllis : jack , honey , you did n't . that 's in no one 's head but yours . jack : the deal , the deal billy almost lost -- phyllis : he 's here with us . he is awake . he 's talking . victoria is in there . and he is getting maybe everything that he has ever , ever wanted without having to invest a dime . nick : ah . dad closed that deal with kevin . i heard about that . jack : if victor could just step aside . any money he 's already spent , i can pay him back . nick : jack , just let it go . you do n't need to get into another war with my dad . billy certainly does n't need the drama . phyllis : that 's right . he has the brother he has always wanted and always will have . and you keep doing that , you 're gon na be golden , mister . jack : yeah , i do n't know about that . nick : we do . phyllis : thank you . and good night . we got to go home . jack : good night . sage : good night . phyllis : bye . sage : you ready to go home , too ? nick : uh , i really think we should talk about this . sage : talk about what ? nick : this issue that keeps coming up . dr. anderson . dr. anderson : hi . do you have those patient charts i asked for ? and another patient stopped by . dr. anderson : who was that ? a potential patient , actually . she was curious about your background . dr. anderson : my background ? she wanted some biographical information is all . poor thing . she and her husband lost a child recently . does that sound familiar ? dr. anderson : yes . i know exactly the woman you 're talking about . billy : i made you so many promises that i -- that i blew one way or the other . i swore that i was gon na be worthy of you , and i have n't been .

[ next_on ] kevin : i am the reason she 's in trouble , so i 'm going to help her , with or without you . victor : wait a minute . you talked to paul ? noah : billy remembers getting beat up . paul is certain it 's only a matter of time before he remembers what car hit him , my car . you know what that means ? i 'm going to jail .

[ sighs ] phyllis : ohh . lola : theo and i talk . why is that a problem ? kyle : you know why ! ugh ! i ca n't keep having this conversation , lola . lola : what if i threw a fit every single time summer was fawning all over you ? kyle : so , you admit it . theo has a thing for you . lola : maybe he does , babe , the same way that summer has a thing for you -- something that i have to deal with every single day , but i do n't blame you for it . okay ? i do n't tell you that you ca n't work with her , because i trust you . kyle : you can not compare me and summer and you and theo . lola : why not ? kyle : first off , theo 's playing you . lola : [ sighs ] kyle : and you 're doing nothing to discourage him . that 's not in my head , lola . it 's the truth . [ scoffs ] i 've got to go . lola : kyle , please . kyle : no , no , no , no , no . i can't . mariah : ohh . tessa : i miss you so much . mariah : oh , i miss you . remember , though , this is ... not goodbye ... tessa : mnh - mnh . mariah : ... because we 're gon na text and talk , video - chat . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : and i am going to come to one of your shows because i can not wait to be one of those adoring fans .

chance and abby had a date night , and phyllis secretly sabotaged it . chance and abby still had fun despite all of their plans going wrong . chance and abby seemed suspicious of phyllis , but she 'd covered her tracks and there was no proof of her guilt . summer threw a jabot party at society , and she was stressed about making everything perfect , which caused her to clash with lola , briefly . jill attended the party and met theo . she told him old stories about his grandfather , stuart . kyle was tense around theo . jack made it clear that he wanted kyle to end the animosity and accept theo . summer and lola improvised when the electricity went out in the kitchen . their workaround was a hit . kyle got angry when he caught theo alone in the kitchen with lola , and he punched him in the face . theo left . summer confronted theo about coming on to lola . he said they were friends . theo left the restaurant without telling the others what happened . lola and kyle argued about theo , and she felt that he did n't understand theo because theo did n't grow up rich . he felt that theo was into her . lola said she did n't throw a fit about summer was being into him . he felt that theo was manipulating her and that she was doing nothing to discourage him . kyle stormed out .

[ scene_break ] clarence : so , mr. and mrs. mcavoy , what brings you to our office , today ? dylan : i served in afghanistan . two tours . and it was ... avery : uh , dylan was traumatized by his experiences over there . dylan : and by the time i got home , i was , you know , kind of a mess . avery : it 's affected us both as a couple . we split up a few times . dylan : and now we 're back together , and we want to stay together , but ... it 's not easy . things get in the way . clarence : hmm . what kind of things ? avery : uh , we have trouble communicating sometimes . dylan : yeah , avery and i are here really because we want to change all that . we 're committed to each other . we 're committed to our marriage , to finding , you know , better tools , finding a new way . clarence : a new path . avery : precisely . clarence : [ chuckles ] we have a new foundations for living group , uh , starting at the new of next week . you 're more than welcome to join the other -- dylan : actually , we were hoping that we could get some individual help , you know , private counseling . we drove all the way from wisconsin -- genoa city , to be exact . avery : we have friends there , and they recommended the path , and it 's changed their lives , really . dylan : yeah , and after everything avery and i have learned , we think what we 're looking for is -- is right here . we 'd like to begin our journey today . we believe this was the path we were meant to walk . clarence : who are you , and what do you really want ? avery : i 'm not sure what you mean . dylan : yeah , we 're exactly who we said we are . clarence : married couples usually wear rings . reporters , on the other hand -- avery : no , we 're not reporters . we 're just ... we 're a couple who split up , like we said , and we just have n't gotten back to wearing our rings yet . clarence : occasionally certain groups with conflicting agendas have tried to infiltrate our organization . avery : that 's not us . dylan : no , no , we 're not affiliated with any groups , political , religious , nothing like that . uh , my wife and i , we just want to learn a better way to manage our lives and overcome our difficulties . clarence : so , you 've read the book ? avery : no , we have not , but , uh , we plan to . dylan : yeah , we drove down here kind of spur of the moment . clarence : what are your goals and expectations ? why the path ? dylan : john darwin has impacted a lot of lives , and i 'd like to learn the principles from its founder . clarence : you understand that the path will challenge your every belief system and will only be of benefit to you if you 're fully committed . avery : of course . we 're willing to do whatever it takes . clarence : then the first step is to join the foundations group . in the meantime , you can read the book . dylan : you know , we -- we have commitments back home -- work and , you know , family . clarence : oh , yes , which you 've set aside to make this journey . dylan : exactly , yeah . clarence : sorry . i do n't believe you . dylan : just wait . clarence : you 're clearly not looking for the path . good day . dylan : okay , you 're right . you 're right . i 'm looking for a person . clarence : ah . who ? dylan : a man named ian ward , although he does n't go by that name now . avery : we have reason to believe he 's this john darwin . clarence : [ chuckles ] avery : what 's so funny ? clarence : i - i 'm sorry . forgive me . this is the problem with old modes of thinking . i 've worked for john for a very long time , and , uh , he 's always been john . i 'm sorry . you 've wasted your time . dylan : i 'm not looking to cause trouble . i 'm just looking for answers . [ scene_break ] nikki : i still ca n't believe summer overdosed . stitch : technically , she did n't . kyle : what does that mean ? stitch : taking three of those pills at once would n't have caused this kind of reaction in everyone . however , this drug has a stimulant , which can send a person 's heart rate into overdrive -- close to 200 beats per minute -- leading to a rapid and severe drop in blood pressure . nick : which is what happened to summer ? stitch : this pill can be dangerous . at the very least , there should be a warning label . summer 's a perfect example why . victor : so , we 're lucky she was found in time . jack : and she is going to be all right ? stitch : your daughter 's fine now that the drug is out of her system . there 's no lingering danger . nikki : [ sighs ] thank heaven for that . stitch : if you 'll excuse me . victor : sure . of course , doctor . jack : [ sighs ] nurse : mr. abbott , you can go back in now . jack : uh , thank you . you know what ? why do n't you go in ? i 'm sure she 'd like to see you , and , uh , she can use all the love and care she can get right now . victor : i think that 's a good idea , son . nick : thanks , jack . [ door closes ] nick : [ sighs ] supergirl . summer : hey . nick : well , i hear you are doing much better . i mean , the rumor is you are driving everyone in this hospital crazy . summer : yeah , since i succeeded at driving you crazy for so many years , i thought i 'd branch out . nick : well , when you 're a parent , it kind of goes with the territory . well , you know , you got a lot of worried people out there . if you were ever gon na cash in on all of this , maybe ask for a new sports car , now 's the time to do that . summer : you know , i was -- i was pretty out of it when they brought me in . but i heard what you were saying when you were sitting next to me . every word . [ scene_break ] paul : hello , you two . jack : paul . nikki : well , my goodness . what a surprise . that 's very thoughtful of you to come by and check on summer . paul : well , actually , i 'm here on police business . jack , a complaint has been filed against jabot cosmetics , with the labor relations board . they are opening an investigation into improper working conditions , and the distribution of illegal drugs . nikki : [ gasps ] jack : who filed these charges ? victor : i did . kyle : this is insanity . nikki : victor , what were you thinking ? jack : i can not believe the taxpayers ' money is being wasted on something like this when there are real crimes to be solved out there . delia 's killer is still out there walking free . maybe your men should focus on that . paul : jack , a complaint was filed . i am obliged to follow up . there were drugs at a photo shoot , and one of your employees -- your daughter , in fact -- suffered a cardiac episode after taking them . kyle : you are making it sound like my dad was handing out the pills ! paul : i am merely informing the business owner that there is a complaint filed against one of his divisions . victor : my granddaughter was nearly killed . you honestly think i 'd let that go ? jack : when are you gon na get this through your head ? she 's not your granddaughter ! nikki : all right . will the two of you stop it ? ! paul : jack , a word , please ? nikki : my god . victor , you have to think about what you 're doing ! victor : i have thought all night about what i 'm doing , all right ? and now , my dear , i 'm taking action , whether you like it or not . [ scene_break ] dylan : i 've learned all i could about the new world commune . it 's a group ian ward ran out of genoa city , and how it started with a handful of people and noblest of intentions . others were drawn to it because of the message , and it grew . but somewhere along the line , things went wrong . i can see how that happened . i 'm a soldier . i 've been to war . i 've seen how men can change , and what they 're capable of doing to their own guys . but , with new world , no one died , and -- and what happened was a long time ago , and there might be people with scores to settle , but i 'm not one of them . clarence : from the way you 're talking , it sounds like you have unfinished business with this man . dylan : that 's fair to say . clarence : financial ? dylan : personal . i 'm ian ward 's son . [ scene_break ] michael : so , fenmore 's gon na be in a regular cellblock , smack in the path of this richard womack . leslie : ah . so that 's why you invited me here . michael : you did defend the guy . leslie : once . michael : even though he was a scum . not unlike carmine basco . leslie : everyone is entitled to a defense , counselor . michael : trust me . i know . it 's just part of the job . i 'm not here to attack you . leslie : okay . then why are you here ? michael : when womack was finally arrested it was , because somebody turned state 's evidence against him . i would -- i would dearly like to know who that person is . [ scene_break ] nikki : summer is finally out of the woods , and you respond by going after jack ? do you have any idea how inappropriate that is ? victor : do you know how inappropriate it is for that man to claim that he is summer 's father ? dna be damned . nikki : jack has every right to make that claim , but this is neither the time , nor the place to argue about it . now , the bottom line is , jack would never allow any kind of drug at a fashion shoot , or anywhere at jabot , for that matter . and he certainly is n't going to harm his own daughter . now , what do you plan to accomplish with this outrageous accusation ? jack : it 's not a legitimate complaint ! it 's petty , vindictive , and an insult ! victor : what happened to summer was deadly serious ! she nearly died on your watch ! jack : i 'd like to see my daughter if we 're done here . paul : yes . go ahead . [ scene_break ] summer : even though i could n't open my eyes and talk , i heard you say that we needed another happy ending , and that i needed to wake up , and come back the way that i did when i was little , when i almost died from the peanut allergy . and i heard you say that `` daddy 's here , `` and ... all the terror that i was feeling , it just ... it went away . [ scene_break ] leslie : i ca n't answer your question , michael . michael : you ca n't or wo n't ? leslie : i have no idea who turned state 's evidence against richard womack . that was after my time . michael : womack is attempting to leverage the fact that fenmore is the son of the former district attorney . he got fenmore out of a jam with some other inmates , and now he 's looking to be repaid . leslie : with information . michael : i 'm looking for something , anything , to trade for my son 's safety . leslie : all i know is that womack is connected to the veneziano crime family back east . [ sighs ] i mean , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry i could n't be more help , michael . michael : no , no . in fact , you 've been a tremendous help . leslie : all right .

is there something you 're not telling us ? some reason you want to rewrite your will now ? what 's going on ? jill : so , it seems like my locking you in the attic did n't work . i want you to tell me every detail of this investment , please . colin : and i will as soon as my broker gets back with -- jill : not funny , colin . you know this is a deal breaker with me . colin : lauren ! hey . good to see you . why do n't you sit down here ? lauren : oh , my goodness . that 's so nice . nice to be taken care of after the day i 've had . i just came from seeing jerry , who was n't in a talking mood or , quite frankly , a buying mood , either . colin : next time around , let me deal with him . i 'll have him eating out of my hand . jill : let 's leave your hands out of it . i 'm not sure where they 've been lately . lauren and i will handle all the fenmore business , wo n't we ? lauren : yeah . of course we will . jill : unless you have a problem with that . lauren : no . why would i have a problem with that ? jill : okay . what 's on your mind ? give . colin : uh , seems there 's a bit of girl talk in the air . i - i should leave . bye . neil , you mind if i join you ? neil : hmm . not at all . cane had to leave on some emergency here . i do n't know . colin : yeah , i guess with lily not around , he 's a bit short - handed . neil : hmm . devon 's gone , too . colin : devon 's gone ? neil : yeah , he said it was business - related . but who knows what that means . we 're talking about devon . colin : yeah . boy with everything . well , almost everything . neil : hmm . lily : what is it ? hilary : it 's your dad . you know , he and i , we ... we decided to hold off on having a baby . lily : what ? i ... i do n't understand . the way the two of you have been talking recently ... hilary : yeah , i know . lily : i mean , he said it was different this time , that you both were ready . so , what changed ? hilary : you know , when i was a little girl , i decided that i would n't have kids . i did n't want to bring a child into the world that i was living in . recently , when i met the man that i love , i ca n't stop thinking about how incredible it would be to share a child with him . lily : that 's great . then all the more reason to go for it . hilary : i ca n't . i ca n't do that to your father . it 's wrong . lily : hilary , how is it wrong to have a baby with somebody that you love ? that 's what you wanted . so , what 's stopping you ? hilary : [ sobbing ] lily : hilary , it 's okay . it 's gon na be okay . hilary : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to ... lily : no , do n't apologize . it 's obviously something serious . is it dad 's condition ? did something change ? hilary : no , no . neil needs me , okay ? he 's still struggling , and i need to put him first . lily : and , what ? you feel like with a baby , you ca n't do that ? hilary : he deserves all of me , especially now . okay , he 's -- he 's starting to possibly drink again . you know , with my mother ... she died because she could n't stop . and i was n't there for her . i could n't bear it if something that i did pushed neil off the wagon . lily : i understand that , but look , you have to take care of yourself . your life and your happiness is equally important . [ cell phone rings ] lily : sorry . it 's cane . i 'm sorry . just hold on one second . hey . is everything okay ? cane : yeah , yeah , sweetie , everything 's good . uh , just a little bit of a mix- up with one of the sound systems in one of the meeting rooms . lily : how little ? cane : the historical society is threatening to pull out if we ca n't , um , fix the problem . listen , all i need is the engineer 's number . lily : yeah , yeah , i 'll text it to you . but maybe i should come back and help you . i just think it would look really bad to lose such a huge booking . cane : no , no , no , no . sweetheart , stay there . enjoy yourself . relax . i can deal with this . i love you . lily : love you , too . bye . hilary : uh , you have to go ? lily : no , cane does n't want me to . and i do n't think it would be good to leave you like this . hilary : no , no . i feel better , really . just talking to you , it helped . i would feel worse if you did n't go . colin : devon 's a young guy with all the money in the world . but does he have his head on straight ? i know if i 'd come into that kind of money at his age , i would have been the wild one . neil : you know what , colin ? it 's interesting , but devon got through this rebellious stage earlier than most . i 'm really not worried about him going off the deep end . colin : what about all the good - looking women that circle him ? neil : hold on now . he 's had his fair share of flings , but he found this girl that he 's -- he 's committed to . colin : yeah , i 'm sorry . what was her name again ? neil : her name is gwen . colin : ah . gwen . yeah , of course . neil : and between you and me , i have a feeling that the two of them have a bright future ahead of them . colin : well , that 's ... very reassuring . adam : so , the idea is to capture the entire essence of chelsea lawson by jabot in one snapshot . chelsea : just one ? adam : mm - hmm . chelsea : am i that boring ? adam : no , no , no . quite the opposite , actually . um , from what i gathered from our previous meeting , you strike me as a woman who 's very self - possessed , you 're smart , you 're driven , you know exactly what you want . chelsea : you got all of that in one meeting ? adam : well , i did my research . plus i sort of have this feeling about you . chelsea : huh . okay . let 's see if you 're right or wrong . give me your best pitch . adam : okay . so , picture the left side of a photograph . you have 100 women . they 're all dressed in different variations of the same style . they 're human sheep all striving to conform to the popular meme of what 's fashionable . then on the right side , you have one woman apart from the crowd . she wears her clothes as a form of self - expression . she 's comfortable in her own skin . she 's not afraid to show the world who she really is . warm or cold ? chelsea : you 're closer to the equator than you are to the north pole . adam : okay . all right . everyone is an individual . that 's your philosophy , right ? it 's not about wearing your name tag on everyone 's shirt . it 's not about joining club chelsea . in fact , that makes your skin crawl . chelsea : yes . oh , my god . nothing makes me more crazy than seeing an entire population of a city in black pea coats and skinny jeans . adam : it 's boring . it 's terrible . chelsea : yes ! adam : yeah . chelsea : it 's true . i used to -- i used to walk down the street and redress people in my mind , you know , or i would buy an article of clothing for myself , deconstruct it , and come up with something completely unique . it 's -- [ sighs ] i miss that feeling . adam : what do you mean , you miss that feeling ? you do n't do that anymore ? chelsea : not really . [ laughs ] no , i -- you know , i 'm so busy now with -- with deadlines and meeting the corporate needs . yeah , i almost -- i almost forgot why i love this so much . thank you for reminding me , gabe . nick : where did you find this ? i mean , [ laughing ] i have n't seen this in years . sage : constance had it among her things . i thought you 'd get a kick out of it . nick : [ sighs ] this was my last year at mount bell . sage : mm - hmm . [ chuckles ] faith : hot cocoa ready ? nick : it sure is . here you go . sage : hello . you must be nick 's daughter , faith . nick : that is the one and only . sage : it 's very nice to meet you . nick : faith , what do you say ? faith : who are you ? nick : this is my new friend , sage , and she brought me something from my old boarding school . faith : can i take my hot chocolate up to my room ? nick : sure . just do n't spill it . be careful . [ sighs ] yeah , sorry . she 's , uh , she 's going through some stuff ever since , uh , her mother and i broke up . sage : yeah , i understand . i - i should probably just go . nick : you could do that , or you could stay , try this amazing hot chocolate i just whipped up . it is so much better than that stuff we had in the park that day , plus my marshmallows are real . sage : [ laughs ] the park marshmallows were imaginary ? nick : oh , no , those were real . uh , i think i chipped my tooth on one of them . sage : [ laughs ] nick : my marshmallows are soft , fluffy , perfect . sage : ooh . well , that 's hard to resist . nick : i know . sage : [ laughs ] nick : so , you bring that book . let 's go sit down with some hot chocolate , and you can make fun of all the old pictures of me and gabe . sage : well , you were , uh , very awkward and gawky . but most boys that age were . nick : yeah . really looking forward to growing out of this awkward phase . [ knock on door ] sage : [ laughs ] nick : [ high - pitched voice ] mrs. warner , can sage come out and play ? sage : [ laughs ] sharon : sounds like someone 's having a good time . what 's all the fun about ? sharon : i brought miss patsy 's pajamas . faith forgot them , and i knew she would want them tonight . nice to see you again . paige , is n't it ? sage : sage . yes . hello . nick : uh , listen , i 'd appreciate if you did n't make visits like this without calling first . sharon : but faith -- nick : yeah , she can do without her doll 's clothes for a night . you coming by just confuses her . sharon : i doubt it 's as confusing as seeing you with another woman . nick : uh , can i talk to you outside , please ? [ door opens ] nick : i do n't want to do this , all right ? this is my night with faith . i need you to respect that . sharon : you 're right . i 'm sorry . i just miss her , and the idea of ... never mind . um , here . enjoy yourself . jill : oh , my god . cancer ? lauren : well , you know , the prognosis is good . the , um , five - year survival rate in stage three prostate is -- is almost 100 % , so , you know , we 're really -- we 're hopeful . jill : good . except why am i hearing this hesitation in your voice ? lauren : because michael is really concerned about the side effects of some of the treatments , that he wo n't be able to ... jill : oh . oh . yeah . yeah , i 've heard about that . lauren : you know , it does n't matter to me . all that matters to me is that he beats this disease . jill : yeah , well , i 'm sure that 's upper - most in your mind right now , but you ca n't just dismiss michael 's concerns out of hand , you know . lauren : i just told you the sex does n't matter to me . jill : but it matters to him . and it 'll matter to you later . lauren : you know what ? i 'll just , uh , have to deal with it at that point . jill : but in the meantime , it 's gon na grow into a huge elephant in the room . lauren : well , maybe in your room . jill : this is me you 're talking to , okay ? we fenmore women are not exactly the celibate type . lauren : ca n't even believe we 're having this conversation . jill : listen to me . this is a real issue , and you have got to address it , 'cause if you do n't , it 's gon na eat up your marriage bit by bit until there 's nothing left . michael : do n't make too big a deal of this . people change their wills all the time . kevin : and you just happen to be changing yours right after your first radiation treatment ? michael : it was as good a time as any . i had the afternoon off . kevin : what did the doctor say to you ? michael : the doctor said what he usually says . the weather 's lousy , and then he drones endlessly on about sports . kevin : damn it , michael . come on . stop it . michael : i have stage three prostate cancer . it makes sense that i get my affairs in order . kevin : no . no , none of this makes any sense , especially asking me to be your executor . michael : i need someone i can trust . kevin : what about me says `` trust `` to you ? ! i wore a chipmunk head and robbed banks ! i stared at ceiling tiles in a mental institute ! none of that is trustworthy . michael : [ chuckles ] who am i supposed to ask instead ? lauren ? she has enough to deal with . fenmore ? he 's not equipped to handle the decisions involved . gloria ? just do this for me . kevin : let 's , uh , let 's just talk about it some other time . michael : no , no , no , my friend . you 're the one who dogged me about being realistic . we 're not going to ignore this . we 're gon na face the facts . do n't lose that infuriating obstinacy just when i need it . devon : you have no idea how much i wanted to hold you like this when i was watching you go through that . hilary : i ca n't believe i lost it like that . devon : must have been building for a long time . you had to get it out . hilary : in front of lily , out of all people . [ sighs ] you think she suspects ? devon : no . if she did , she 'd lock down the place and interrogate you till she got a confession . hilary : there 's no winning , devon . devon : we keep coming back to this -- walking away from each other , but every time we try to -- hilary : i know , i know . every time we say that this is the last time , neither of us are strong enough to end this affair . devon , we have to face it . that 's what this is . devon : it 's not just that , okay ? it 's a lot more . this is real , hilary . this is a once - in - a - lifetime love . we do n't know if we 're gon na find this again , and i ca n't just turn my back on it . can you do that ? devon : i love you more than i ever thought was possible . and i can not imagine my life without you in it . lily : did you get ahold of the engineer ? cane : what are you doing ? neil : lily , what are you doing back here ? cane : sweetie , i told you i could take care of this . lily : i know . i know . but i did n't feel right , you doing it by yourself . you 're corporate . i 'm hands - on . okay ? and besides , why would i want a massage by a stranger when i could have one by you ? cane : aww , i love the way you think . neil : i hope hilary 's all right by herself . lily : yeah , she told me to go , so she 'll be fine . colin : look , uh , if you do n't mind , i got to make a call . lily : yeah , and i 'm gon na check the sound system . cane : hang on a second . i 'll come with you . neil , you be all right ? neil : i 'm fine . thank you . appreciate it . sharon : hi , neil . neil : ooh . that 's not my wife . sharon : [ laughs ] it 's sharon . neil : of course it is . yeah . join me . sharon : all right , i will . thank you . how are you doing ? you 're looking wonderful , as usual . neil : thanks . compliments will get you everywhere . you know , sharon , i 'm -- i 'm coming along . sharon : i ca n't imagine what you 're going through . neil : i 've got the best support system a man could ever ask for . i 've got cane and lily , devon , and my wife . sharon : where is she ? is she at work ? neil : no , she 's actually taking a break at the spa [ clears throat ] uh , while i 'm playing the role of the bachelor . sharon : you gon na paint the town red while she 's gone ? neil : would n't be half the fun without her . ca n't even go home because the house is empty . sharon : yeah , i know the feeling . sage : you skipped a picture of you . nick : no , i did n't see -- i did n't see that other picture . sage : oh , yes , there was . [ laughs ] is that you ? nick : yeah , that 's a young -- sage : is that a production of `` the three musketeers `` ? nick : my god . that 's , uh -- yeah . it does look like me , i guess . sage : aww . which musketeer were you ? nick : harper . harpo . [ both laugh ] nick : that does n't sound right . sage : no ! nick : i do n't know . maybe ask gabe . i think he played innkeeper number two in this production . sage : oh . was everyone in the school in the play ? nick : there were definitely more people on stage than in the audience . sage : [ laughs ] nick : but i highly doubt gabe made most of the performances . sage : what ? he just did n't show up ? nick : he was just such a screw - up . i mean , good guy . everybody liked him . but he was just , you know , always pulling practical jokes and completely irresponsible . sage : that 's why he got expelled . nick : yeah . yeah . i look at him now , just i 'm surprised . sage : why ? at how much he 's matured ? nick : well , you know , how much he 's -- he 's changed , really . i mean , he was reckless and crazy , and i see him now , and he 's just so put together and , you know , smart . i do n't know . he 's really changed . it 's like the guy that i knew in boarding school never existed . sage : hmm . oh ! oh , my -- i can not believe i just did that . i am so sorry . nick : that 's okay . sage : i 'm so sorry . i will get some towels . i will mop it up . nick : stop it . stop it . at least it was n't the hot chocolate , right ? sage : i should never have let you talk me into drinking that . i will go . nick : no , it 's winter out there . you go outside in wet clothes , you 're gon na turn into a popsicle before you hit the car . sage : i 'm fine . nick : just stop . let me at least dry your clothes , all right , and then i 'll feel better about things , 'cause then i will have saved your life , and then we 'll be even . sage : [ laughs ] all right . you win . nick : let 's get you out of those clothes . do n't worry about this . good grief . i will , uh , i 'll get you a robe . adam : we could turn that into a commercial . it 's a room full of clones . there 's 100 of them . they 're all dressed in identical costumes . chelsea : yes , and along comes the original wearing something completely different . adam : yeah , and then comes your slogan , right ? `` be yourself . `` chelsea : yes ! [ laughs ] yes ! that 's perfect ! oh , my gosh . yes . see ? this is how work should be . you know , exciting and stimulating . adam : yeah , this is how life should be -- exciting and stimulating -- otherwise we 're just , you know , marking time . chelsea : that 's how i spent most of last year , actually . but fortunately all of that 's changed . adam : i know it was difficult for you after you lost your husband . from what i read , he gave you the kind of security you 'd never had before . chelsea : yeah , i lived quite a nomadic existence growing up , hopping from one crummy motel to the next . adam : well , you 've come a long way from the girl who used to sit in the lobby of the hotel athénée pretending to be a guest . chelsea : how did you know that ? michael : so , can i count on you ? kevin : [ scoffs ] if i 'm gon na work hard , you have to , also . so i need you to promise me that you plan on sticking around . michael : i 'm not planning on dying . kevin : that 's not a promise . michael : it 's the best i can do . look ... the point is , i need my family to be protected , and i need you to make sure of it . kevin : [ sighs ] i 'll ask again -- why me ? michael : just say yes . kevin : yes . of course . michael : thank you . you do know that i will need you to pick up my dry cleaning every tuesday morning , and i will need you to serve me lunch precisely at 12 : 00 noon . kevin : you 're gon na be lucky if i take your calls . michael : no , and you do know that i like cream and a lot of sugar in my coffee . kevin : i said i would be your executor , not your valet ! michael : well , that 's what you think , but what about ... jill : so , anyway , just face the situation head - on . you can take it . so can your husband . lauren : you really think so ? jill : honey , i do n't have to tell you what an extraordinary man you 're married to . and your love has carried you through a lot of tough times . it 'll carry you through this one . lauren : thanks , sis . neil : then after that , i saw the , uh -- what 's the other one that was there ? sharon : oh , colin . hi . i was just saying to neil what a shame it is that he 's gon na lose half of his spa package that he paid for because now lily 's back . neil : [ chuckles ] i have a feeling i know exactly where this is going . sharon : you know you 're dying to see her . why do n't you go up and surprise her ? colin : sharon , that 's a wonderful thought . but i have a feeling that hilary 's probably enjoying her downtime . adam : how did i know about the hotel athénée ? i , um , well , i read about it in an interview that you did awhile back . it was a good interview , lasting image of you in the hotel lobby by yourself there . chelsea : oh . um , you know what ? i , uh , it 's getting kind of late , and i have to finish up some designs , so ... adam : well , i 'd love to watch , if you do n't mind . chelsea : actually , you know what ? this is -- this is more my -- my private space where i can work creatively and do my best work . um , i use my office at jabot for stuff on the business end , so ... in fact , maybe we should meet there from now on . adam : yeah , okay . i mean , if that 's , you know , what you 're comfortable with . chelsea : yeah , okay , so i 'll -- i 'll see you at jabot . adam : at jabot . yes . well , um , thanks for your time . sage : thanks for the robe . nick : looks good on you . all right , let 's get those pants in the dryer .

[ previously_on ] nikki : i killed j.t . and you need to know everything that happened . phyllis : this is about her not being able to keep her mouth shut . what i did does not compare to nikki telling your brother that she killed j.t . sharon : what ? ! arturo : [ gasps ] what are we doing ? mia : rey is everything i 've ever wanted . arturo : and he 's never gon na let you down . so the other night , we put it away , and we move on . last night , something changed . i see a future i want with the woman i love . billy : what the hell is going on here ? victoria : oh ! cane : i came here to ask you if i could borrow the jet 'cause i - i need to go and see lily today . i have to go right now , okay , so i can save my marriage . i just need the name of the inmate you 're visiting . billy : lily ashby . cane : hey . hey . mattie : hi . cane : uh , glad you 're home . can you hold down the fort for tonight for me ? mattie : sure . what 's the emergency ? cane : there 's no emergency . i just , uh -- you know , i want to go and see your mom , and i probably wo n't be back till morning , all right ? mattie : tonight ? you 're going there now ? cane : yeah . mattie : why ? what happened ? cane : nothing happened . you know , just all of a sudden started missing your mom like crazy , that 's all . mattie : uh - huh . i 'm not buying it . cane : [ scoffs ] mattie : come on , dad . you just suddenly started to miss her ? cane : sweetheart , she 's my wife , okay ? mattie : you 've been missing her for months , every day since she 's been gone , so what 's different about tonight ? cane : there 's nothing different . mattie : uh - huh . then what 's with the urgency ? cane : i -- look , i just -- i want to surprise her , okay ? i just feel like being spontaneous . billy : [ sighs ] abby : my favorite . you remembered ? arturo : how could i forget ? abby : [ gasps ] i love them .

'cause i love her . mia : i love rey . but for some reason , whenever you and i are alone in a room , all you want to do is get -- arturo : is get away from you . mia : [ laughs ] arturo : all i want to do is get away from you , mia . and you -- you need to work on keeping your marriage straight , and forget about the other night . like it or not , the only person in my future is abby . mia : who you trying to convince ? arturo : mia , if you know what 's good for you , you 'll drop this . mia : [ sighs happily ] aww . ohhh . abby : [ sighs ] mmph . mia : you just missed arturo . abby : but he left me something to remember him by . beautiful . are n't they ? mia : incredible , actually . well , not the flowers , but more so you two as a couple . of all the women he could have , he settled for you . sharon : i do n't respond well to threats of any kind , especially from you . phyllis : i am not a threat . it 's the newmans we need to worry about . sharon : i can comfortably say you are being paranoid . phyllis : i am being logical . sharon : then you ca n't hear yourself . phyllis : sharon , please . i need you to listen to me for one minute . sharon : what do you think i 've been doing ? phyllis : all right . 30 seconds . not even a minute . how 'bout that ? victor has been released on bail , which means the entire newman clan is gon na be closing ranks . and since victor could not care less what happens with us , we are the ones at risk . sharon : that does n't make any sense . phyllis : nikki just confessed to nick . how long do you think it 's gon na take for her to come clean with victor , all right ? if he has n't already figured this out himself . he has to prove his innocence . sharon : but nikki promised . phyllis : nikki was ready to confess to anything with a heartbeat for weeks . she was ready to spill her guts at j.t . 's memorial . i had to get up there and save us , for god 's sakes . sharon : with reed sitting front and center . not one of your best moments , phyllis . phyllis : okay . i apologized . but reed needed to face some ugly truths . and it 's time that you did the same . the entire newman family is gon na do everything they can to keep nikki out of prison . which includes pinning j.t . 's murder on us . abby : arturo is so sweet and attentive . i mean , he is up to his eyeballs in work , but he still brought me flowers . mia : aww . abby : mm - hmm . mia : that 's so sweet . you want my advice ? abby : as a matter of fact , no . mia : enjoy it while you can . okay ? the last thing arturo wants is to settle down . abby : he is a completely different person than who he was in miami . mia : you think so ? abby : i know so . mia : funny , because when he came over the other night to fix the heat and it was just the two of us ... it felt like old times . abby : when he was fixing what ? mia : oh , he did n't tell you ? oh , the -- the -- the night of the storm . yeah . i thought your boyfriend tells you everything ? it 's never good , abby , when your boyfriend starts keeping things from you . [ gasps ] oh , my god . maybe that 's why he got you flowers . abby : you know what , mia ? maybe you need to spend more time with your man and stop worrying about mine . mia : oh , i 'm not worried . but you should be . abby : do n't you have someone 's nose hairs to pluck ? mia : [ laughs ] mattie : just hear me out ! cane : okay , listen , i 'm honored you want to be part of this trip , okay , but -- mattie : let me help ! we 'll bring charlie along . mom will take one look at us , and she 'll remember how strong our family is . and i can bring her the essay i wrote for my college applications . i 'll read it to her in person . it 's all about her , how much she means to me . and she 'll remember who she is again , and we 'll cry a little , and we 'll promise to be better moving forward . because that 's how we 're gon na make it through this . not by keeping secrets , shutting each other out , but by doing this together . cane : listen , i know , and i love that you want to be part of this , but i have to go and do this alone , okay ? mattie : it 's that bad , huh ? oh , my god . is it worse than bad ? you know what ? no . do n't answer that . for the first time in a long time , i actually want to be kept in the dark . but whatever it is , you need to fix it , dad . cane : i 'm trying , baby . mattie : do n't come back until it 's better , okay ? give her my love . cane : i will . mattie : and remind her that we 'll see her really soon . cane : you can consider that done . mattie : and promise me that everything 's gon na be okay . cane : [ sighs ] i promise you , baby . i love you . okay ? i love you . mattie : i love you , too . cane : i love you , baby . lily : fen baldwin ... billy : [ chuckles ] lily : ... is a pop star ? billy : pop star in training , believe it or not . lily : [ chuckles ] i thought he was gon na be a hotshot lawyer like his dad . billy : yeah , well , the best laid plans of mike and fen sometimes go astray . lily : i suppose . billy : are you worried that mattie 's gon na shift gears and join the circus ? lily : no . no , no , no . if she 's happy walking the high wire , then i 'm happy , too . but there 's something else i want to know . billy : okay . anything . lily : why you got the sudden urge to hop on a jet and come here . billy : you should be giving me crap for not coming sooner , right ? we 're friends . i - i -- i care about you . lily : you have really lost your touch for lying . that 's bad . billy : what are you saying ? we 're not friends ? is that what you 're saying ? lily : no , we 're friends . but friends should be honest with each other . if there 's something going on , just tell me . i mean , is it something at home ? just please be honest with me . i mean , what are n't you telling me ? sometimes , bipolar i disorder `` the young and the restless `` will continue . arturo : whoa ! whoa . hey , why are you so upset , babe ? i mean , is it your dad ? abby : mia . arturo : what did she do now ? abby : i ran into her at crimson lights . she made some pretty disgusting insinuations about what happened when you went over to fix the heat ? arturo : look , i knew i should have told you about that -- abby : no , she made it seem like something salacious went down when all you were doing was a good deed . i mean , that girl will stop at nothing . she made it seem like you were keeping this secret from me , which , clearly , you weren't . arturo : i mean , i - i did n't think it was that important -- abby : i mean , who cares if you fixed a furnace ? okay ? you fix a hundred things every single day . i do n't need every detail . [ sighs ] arturo : i 'm sorry . abby : no , you do n't need to apologize . mia , on the other hand ... arturo : yeah , she really just does n't know when to stop . abby : has she always been this way ? arturo : pretty much , yeah . like my mom always said -- bumblebees and mosquitos . abby : oh . arturo : they 're always real busy , but only one of them 's up to any good . abby : well , she is definitely a mosquito . arturo : [ sighs ] just do what i do -- ignore her . abby : she said that , uh , you being there felt like old times . can you believe that ? arturo : babe , how could it be like old times ? i 'm yours . i mean , the past , it 's a dead issue . you are my future . you 're my everything . abby : [ sighs ] sharon : you might have a point . you never know what victor will do when his back 's against a wall . phyllis : he was ready to flee the country with nikki to stay safe . sharon : and i ca n't count on her to keep us out of this . there 's no love lost between me and my former mother - in - law . phyllis : nothing 's stopping her from throwing us under the bus . sharon : she 's only implicated herself and victoria , though , right ? phyllis : we 're talking about a woman who recently fell off the wagon . she 's living with m.s . she has a daughter who almost died at the hands of an abusive husband . how much more is it gon na take for her to tell the whole story ? you think her family 's gon na believe her when she tells them that they came up with the plan , her and victoria , to take j.t . 's body and remove it on their own ? sharon : but nick would never let the mother of his children be set up like that . phyllis : since when has victor given his family a vote ? you know him . first hint of danger , he 's gon na pull up that drawbridge , and he 's gon na let us flounder in the moat . and then what does nick do ? turn in his mother ? we need to protect ourselves as a team . like it or not , we are each other 's best hope right now . lily : is it my kids ? i mean , are -- are charlie and mattie okay ? billy : no , no . the kids are fine . i saw them a few days ago . besides you being in here , they 're -- they 're great . lily : okay , then who ? my dad ? billy : he 's -- he 's fine as far as i know . lily : devon . billy : you know devon . he 's busy as ever . lily : cane ? [ sighs ] oh , god . i knew it . billy : [ sighs ] lily : i knew it . i knew it . [ sighs ] he was here a couple of days ago , and ... everything went lopsided . you know , and it 's my fault , because i -- i had this class to teach , and i - i would n't spend time with him , and it did n't end well , and i just -- i 've been kicking myself ever since . billy : lily , you ca n't blame yourself , okay ? lily : no , look , i know that you 're not his biggest fan . i know that . but he 's really , really stepped it up . he 's taking care of the kids . and knowing that he 's out there , and he 's loving me and missing me as much as i 'm missing him , it -- it gets me through every hellish day in here . okay , billy , something is going on . i can see it in your eyes . i mean , if it was important enough to fly here , then it 's important enough to tell me . so just tell me the truth . i mean , do n't be one of those people trying to protect me from it . billy : lily , i -- lily : billy , you 're scaring me . what ? what is it ? billy : i should n't have come here , okay ? lily : no . billy : i 'm sorry . this is just a -- lily : no . it is never a mistake to tell the truth . trust me , i 've learned that the hard way . so what is it ? what happened ? just -- just tell me . just be honest with me . billy : cane and ... victoria . lily : cane and victoria what ? billy : i walked in on them kissing on the couch like a couple teenagers . we do whatever it takes to fight cancer . sharon : let 's think about our options here first . phyllis : we have no options . sharon : kind of ironic , do n't you think , you having to come to me for help and not nick ? if nick and i were still together , he would have told me the truth about nikki 's confession right away . but with you , the trust just is n't there , is it ? hardly the basis for a strong , committed relationship . phyllis : there are bigger things to worry about right now . are you gon na continue to put your trust in the newmans ? sharon : i 'll never trust victor again . but i did see nick and victoria 's cars at the ranch earlier today . phyllis : so you 're telling me that nick is welcoming home his father that he detests ? they 're circling the wagons . it 's time to act now . lily : there 's no way you saw what you think you saw . billy : no , you 're right . i do n't -- i do n't know what i was thinking . i 'm sorry . lily : no . stop . tell me again . cane and ... ? billy : victoria . lily : and you walked into her house ? billy : i walked in , and i saw them kissing on the couch , hands all over each other . lily : they hate each other . billy : that 's exactly what i thought . lily : [ sighs ] i have been locked in here . he 's been telling me that everything is fine . and this whole time he 's been cheating on me with victoria ? billy : no , as far as victoria says , it has n't gone beyond kissing . lily : so then it was a drunken mistake , like when he slept with juliet . billy : no . he was stone - cold sober . victoria did say that it was n't the first time that they ... locked lips . lily : so if you had n't walked in when you did ... billy : i do n't know . lily : [ inhales sharply ] oh , i feel like i 'm gon na be sick . billy : just take it easy , okay ? just try and breathe . lily : how could he do that ? why would he do that ? billy : i do n't know . trust me , i - i -- i do n't know . lily : [ sighs ] billy : i mean , victoria and i have been spending a lot of time together , too , and -- and it was only yesterday she told me that she loved me , and i thought for a second that we were gon na get back on track , and i -- lily : i feel like there 's this volcano raging inside of me , and i ca n't do anything to let it out . billy : okay , take it easy , all right ? do not let this destroy you . you hear me ? lily : no , i can't . because they 'll add time to my sentence , and they 'll take away my privileges and the class i 'm teaching . so i have to be the model prisoner . billy : i should n't have come here . lily : no . billy : [ sighs ] lily : you did the right thing . i have a right to know . so thank you for telling me . billy : you gon na be okay ? lily : [ inhales ] you know , when i was on the outside , this would have broken me . but in here , you have to be tough as nails . because it 's all about survival . billy : what are you gon na do now that you know ? lily : i 'm gon na survive this . by any means necessary . arturo : where 's rey ? mia : work . arturo : talking to abby , mia ? seriously ? you wanted trouble , you found it . mia : well , i did n't expect her to go running to you in a panic . arturo : [ stammering ] what do i need to do to keep you out of my relationship , huh ? mia : all i told her was that when you came over , it felt like old times . it was just chitchat . what , does she not have a sense of humor or is she that insecure ? arturo : why do you keep doing this to me ? mia : because i am trying to protect you from lady fancypants , okay , mijo ? she 's gon na throw you away when she gets bored of you ! she sees you as some kind of novelty item to her snooty friends , okay ? the boyfriend from the wrong side of the tracks . arturo : that is not true . mia : what you and me had ... you feel that with abby ? be real with yourself . because if you do n't , you are making the mistake of a lifetime . arturo : mia , you are my mistake . not abby . you . mia : then why 'd you come over here ? arturo : what ? i just told you ! mia : you could have told me by text . e - mail . but no . that was n't good enough . not close enough . you wanted to know whether or not what you feel with me is real when we 're inches apart . it 's real , arturo . and it always will be . you said it yourself -- there is always gon na be this something between us . how did we test our dixie ultra plates ? arturo : mia , if you keep threatening my relationship with abby , i 'll come clean to rey about everything . mia : you 'd never do that . arturo : give me one good reason . mia : because we both know , this time , you 'd lose him forever . [ lock clicks ] mia : hi ! hi . rey : hey . i did n't expect to see you here . arturo : rey , we got to talk about something . something i should have told you before . rey : okay . what is it ? mia : uh , uh , he keeps going on and on about keeping this furnace maintained , you know . one wrong move , and we 're up for a cold spell around here again . um , but , um , i 've been wanting to ask you something . um ... come here , baby . rey : okay . shoot . mia : uh ... i 'm so nervous . i do n't even know how to do this . rey : whatever it is , just say it . it 's okay . mia : [ giggles ] [ sighs ] when we got married , it was a crazy day . [ chuckles ] um , you know , i was thinking about the wrong things , i wanted everything to be perfect . i was focused on everything else when i should have been focused on the man i was about to marry , and this new life that we were gon na start . i made some promises . and , god forgive me , i broke them . but i 've changed . because i 'm not the woman i was then . [ sighs ] because now i know that you are the most important thing in the world to me . okay ? i 've never loved anyone the way i love you . you 're the love of my life . [ sighs ] and i want to make new promises . promises that i wo n't ever break . i want to prove to everyone that you are the only one that matters to me . no more broken trust . no more empty promises . i want to show you , and everyone in our lives , that you are the most important thing in the world to me , and that ... [ voice breaking ] nothing can tear us apart . rey ... will you marry me ? again ? [ chuckles ] rey : nothing would make me happier . mia : [ exclaims ] phyllis : i 'm very happy that you 're starting to see things my way . & sharon : i did n't say that . phyllis : i really hope you 're joking right now . sharon : i do n't know what you heard , phyllis . phyllis : uh , `` i will never trust victor again . `` did those words just not come out of your mouth ? sharon : yes . but i did n't say anything about victoria and nikki . phyllis : i can not emphasize this strongly enough -- putting our personal differences aside and forming an alliance is the only way out of this . sharon : there is no real proof that the newmans are conspiring against us . phyllis : we may not have any proof yet , but are you willing to wait and see ? sharon : yes . because i may not trust victor , but there 's one person i trust even less than him -- you . phyllis : sharon , i am trying to help you here . sharon : you would double - cross me in a heartbeat if it meant saving your own skin . so thanks , but no thanks . i 'll take my chances on my own . cane : [ sighs ] [ sighs , sniffles ] visiting hours ended a half hour ago . cane : i know , but this is an emergency , all right ? i need to see my wife . her name is lily ashby . sorry . she ca n't have any more visitors today . cane : wait , wait , wait , wait . w - what do you mean visitors ? she has n't had any visitors . you must be mistaken . no , there was someone . a mr . billy abbott .

phyllis : hey , what are you doing home ? honey , look at you . jack : good to see you , paul . paul : good to see you , jack . phyllis : hey , so i guess you 're wondering why paul 's here . jack : yeah , yeah . the thought crossed my mind . phyllis : yeah . i hired him . jack : to do what ? phyllis : to prove diane set the fire . jack : phyllis -- phyllis : do n't `` phyllis `` me . we both know she framed me . jack : honey , the police are gathering evidence right now -- phyllis : evidence ? no , they 're not . they 've given up . they 're gathering no evidence . and sticking paul on this is the only way we 're going to take her down and put her behind bars . jack : okay , where have the two of you been this evening ? or is this a mystery ? paul : phyllis , are you going to tell him or am i ? jack : tell me what ? phyllis , what the devil is going on ? victor : why do n't we sit down ? ashley : okay , thank you . victor : i do n't begin to understand any of this . ashley : oh , call it a pang of conscience . victor : pang of conscience about what ? well , the last few months you 've been spending time with me . it 's caused problems in your marriage . nikki made that evident to brad . victor : well , she should n't have been talking to him about that in the first place . ashley : well , she 's deeply in love with you . and i 've always been a thorn in her side . it 's just now that brad and i are pulling together again , i just wanted to set the record straight as soon as possible . victor : i 'm glad you and brad are working things out . ashley : yeah , so am i . victor : but w do i feel that things are n't right with you . ashley : well , it 's been a very stressful time , that 's for sure . victor : is that why brad needs to talk to nikki ? ashley : well , i think , you know , he wants to reassure her that whatever anxiety she hasin regard to me is completely unfounded . that 's all . victor : well , let 's hope this conversation between the two willolve that problem for her . ashley : mmm . let 's . nikki : i can not believe that you would come here like this . what are you trying to prove ? brad : thank god we got here when we did . victor does n't know , he has no idea about abby 's paternity . nikki : what ? please . brad : it 's true . nikki , it 's a long , bizarre story . nikki : yeah , i know . i know . i know . artificial insemination . believe me , if he 's the father , he knows -- brad : the important thing is he does n't know , and he does n't need to know . just do n't tell him . nikki : you 're asking me to keep this from my husband ? the fact that he has a daughter that he 's never gon na know about ? brad : it 's not his daughter . she 's my daughter . nikki : and you can live with that , knowing what you know ? brad : look , i do n't know what my future holds -- not for me , not for abby , not for my marriage . but i do know that does n't have to affect your life . that 's why we rushed over here . nikki : well , what if he finds out one day and realizes that i 've kept this from him ? what happens then ? brad : listen , i 'm just telling you not to rush into anything . before you tear your whole world apart , you better think long and hard about this , nikki . nikki : this is unbelievable . are you sure ? brad : that heoeoes n't know ? that is one thing i 'm sure of . come on , you know him . you think if he had any idea that he fathered ashley 's child , he could be so uninvolved ? i do n't think so . nikki : all this time i thought he was keeping this terrible secret from me , and now you 're asking me to keep it from him . how do i deal with that , brad ? you tell me . jack : phyllis . are you gon na answer me ? phyllis : all right . you know the phone call i received at victor and nikki 's wedding reception ? jack : yeah . what about it ? phyllis : it came from a pay phone . jack : a pay phone where ? paul : third , near algonquin . jack : well , that 's a lovely neighborhood . i assume you checked that out ? phyllis : i went with him . jack : what ? phyllis : i had to . jack : why , for god 's sakes ? phyllis : i had to go with him . i 'm the only one who can recognize the guy 's voice . do n't you see , jack ? if we can prove that diane got one of these freaks from that neighborhood to help set me up ... listen , relax , okay ? it was a tough crowd , but it 's -- jack : wait a minute . wait a minute . how tough ? phyllis : well ... uh , nobody we 'd invite to dinner . jack : you went there dressed like this ? phyllis : i could n't come home and change . jack : did you find out anything ? phyllis : no , paul here dragged me out before we could . jack : good . you had no business being there in the first place . phyllis : oh , it was n't that dangerous . paul : was n't that dangerous ? you nearly got assaulted . phyllis : please , you 're exaggerating . paul : i am not exaggerating , and you know it . jack : you let my wife go to a place like this ? phyllis : wait a second . he had no choice . jack : he 's a professional . he should know better . i would think you would know better . phyllis : listen ... paul : jack 's right . phyllis : no , he 's not right . my god , you 're talking about me like i 'm some delicate flower . jack : that is not the point . i nearly lost you , phyllis . we 've been to hell and back . if anything should happen to you now , anything at all ... phyllis : nothins s wrong . listen , i 'm fine . jack , it was a little weird , right ? but -- but all 's well that ends well . paul : phyllis , just ... next time , leave the investigating to me , please . good night . jack : good night . j.t . : why would you want to help me out ? lauren : i guess i 'm just a sucker for young love . j.t . : who said anything about love ? lauren : okay , so maybe you did n't use the dreaded `` l `` word . it must be difficult feeling the way you do about her , and knowing what people think . j.t . : yeah , that i 'm this major jerk just trying to score . lauren : parents are nenervous breed , especially parents of a pretty young girl . j.t . : they act like colleen 's completely stupid . lauren : because she likes you ? j.t . : yeah , how could she , right ? lauren : well , maybe she knows something that they don't . j.t . : yeah , she knows she does n't have to be afraid of me . lauren : feels good , does n't it , to have someone trust you so completely ? j.t . : blows me away . it 's like i see myself through her eyes and i actually like what i see . is that weird ? lauren : no . that 's about the best definition of love i 've ever heard . j.t . : well , look , thanks for listening . i got ta go . ashley : good night , and we 're sorry we interrupted your evening . victor : there 's patches of ice on the road , so drive carefully . ashley : oh , we will . we 'll be very cautious , wo n't we , honey ?

[ door opens ] jack : i 'm sorry . phyllis : for thinking my brain 's cracked ? jack : i do n't think that . i was apologizing for leaving before we had things worked out . phyllis : you had business to attend to . gave me some time to think . i ... was just standing here staring at my beautiful ring , wondering how we got to this place . jack : this place is me loving you . this place is me wanting to spend the rest of my life with you . phyllis : you do n't trust me , jack . jack : i do trust you . phyllis : do you ? do you ? if you really believe what i told you , that i did n't do those things to kelly , then why ambush me ? jack : i wanted to make sure that there are no lasting effects from your coma . phyllis : the only lasting effect is that you fell in love with a crazy woman while i was gone . and now we are stuck with her . stitch : hey . hey , sis . kelly : hey , ben . why am i in a hospital ? stitch : you collapsed at the club . i rushed you in here . kelly : oh , please . because i fainted ? that 's overkill . you 're losing your touch , dr. russell . stitch : wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . wait . kelly : oh , my gosh . what 's wrong with me ? stitch : the doctors found poison in your system , kel . not a lethal amount , but they 're still trying to determine what the substance is . kelly : poison ? i have n't been near anything ... poisonous . stitch : tell me what you ate today . kelly : nothing -- nothing out of the ordinary for breakfast or -- or lunch or ... stitch : okay . what ? what do you remember ? maybe you were around some chemicals . could have accidentally ingested something . kelly : it was n't an accident , ben . it was phyllis . sharon : sweetie , i was already at your daddy 's house , and i left miss patsy 's pajamas there for you . did n't he tell you ? faith : but i did n't get to see you . mommy , you need to come back . sharon : baby , we 've talked about this . you know , when you 're at your daddy 's house , it 's his time to spend with you , and it 's not fair for me to intrude on that . faith : but this is an emergency ! daddy 's ... sharon : faith ? faith , what 's wrong with daddy ? sage : [ laughs ] so , wait , gabe jumped into the fountain with nothing but socks on ? nick : and that was just the prelude . sage : to what ? nick : to him claiming he contracted pneumonia . sage : what ? did they believe him ? nick : no . nobody believed a word he said . we called it bingo fever . sage : [ laughs ] nick : and you could have caught bingo fever if i 'd let you go out into the cold with those wet clothes . sage : yes , well , i appreciate your concern . i 'd hate to come down with a fictional ailment . nick : yes . sage : but seriously , thank you for your consideration and your hospitality . nick : not a problem . do you want some more hot chocolate ? sage : yes . faith : i 'll have some . nick : all right . two hot chocolates coming up . faith : why are you wearing daddy 's robe ? summer : i 'm so excited we finally get to hang out . were n't we supposed to be seeing a lot of each other during your winter break ? fenmore : yeah , that was the plan . what 's been keeping you so busy ? summer : hmm . austin . fenmore : oh , the husband . does he require regular maintenance ? summer : no . we just really enjoy spending time together . fenmore : nice . so , the married life is going well ? summer : yeah , no , it 's going great . the only thing that could make it go any better would be if mariah would keep her grabby lips off of my husband . mariah : you were n't on the schedule . austin : i am now . mariah : i thought you were working another job . austin : i was , but the commercial shoot got pushed , so i asked nick if i could pick up a shift . it 's not gon na be a problem , is it ? mariah : um , not for me . i just want to make sure it 's not weird for you . austin : yeah , i get why you kissed me . you were upset , and you were acting out . mariah : yeah , that pretty much sums it up . i did n't know you could be so astute . austin : yeah , but look , it ca n't happen again . i know you were angry , but kissing me -- that was selfish . and you never know who you 're gon na hurt . mariah : ah , you mean precious snowflake . austin : actually , i 'm talking about someone you care about . mariah : what are you talking about ? austin : if you 're not careful , you could screw things up with kevin . kevin : what about me ? stitch : you think phyllis deliberately poisoned you ? kelly : i know . i know it 's a huge leap , ben . stitch : it 's attempted murder . kelly : come on . you know , she -- she probably was just trying to make me sick . i would n't even -- i would n't even think such a thing if she had n't ... done other things . stitch : what other things ? kelly : phyllis just keeps trying to make me look bad with jack , you know , accusing me of doing things i did n't do . stitch : did you tell jack about this ? kelly : the whole thing has put him in such an uncomfortable position . so i decided i 'd try to call a truce with phyllis . i even arranged for us to have tea . stitch : today ? kelly : i had to get up to deal with some hotel business , and i left her alone at the table . that 's when she could have put something into my drink . stitch : [ scoffs ] why would she do that ? kelly : she just ca n't stand the fact that jack and i were together when she was sick . stitch : but it 's over . phyllis and jack are getting married . i mean , what does she have to gain by doing something that extreme ? kelly : she 's crazy ! she 's just crazy , ben . you should hear about some of the other things that she has done ! i mean , she 's completely undermined me with jack ! stitch : you know what ? i 'm -- i 'm calling the cops . kelly : no ! oh , do n't do that , please . stitch : okay , look , this is out of control . you could have died , kel . kelly : but i did n't , okay ? i just passed out . she was probably just trying to scare me . stitch : then we need to get her locked up ! kelly : no ! then we 'd have the police in here asking me questions . the whole thing would just make me look more and more like the scorned woman . stitch : from what you just told me -- kelly : look , i did n't actually see her put the poison or put anything in my tea , okay ? without proof , what can the cops do ? stitch : you do n't want jack to know . kelly : phyllis keeps accusing me of trying to cause trouble with her and jack . so , no . i do n't want jack thinking that i am the problem when i 'm not . it 's all her . stitch : kelly ... no man is worth your life , sis . kelly : what life ? phyllis is living my life now . phyllis : hey , victoria . have you seen kelly ? victoria : no . why ? scrounging for more mentions on gc buzz ? phyllis : i am not looking for a fight . actually , kelly and i were having tea earlier . victoria : oh , really ? phyllis : taking the high road . i 'm gon na go check her office . victoria : oh , i would n't bother . i was back there already looking for ben . it 's locked . phyllis : you have a date ? victoria : yeah . dinner . though he has n't shown yet . phyllis : good . then you have some time to help me with something ? austin : well , i got to punch in . mariah : we do n't have a time clock . austin : i 'll find one . kevin : what was austin saying about me ? mariah : nothing . he was just glad you were there to cover for me the other night . he did n't want to be stuck in the middle of a huge fight between summer and me . kevin : well , a fight is exactly what you were looking for when you left sharon 's house . mariah : well , it was my party , so if i wanted to get angry and leave , just call it a birthday present to myself . kevin : well , i hope you learned your lesson about running scared . mariah : are you having memory lapses , kevin ? because you gave me this lecture the other night . kevin : oh , good . you were listening . mariah : yeah , i probably was , since i have n't made a pass at anybody since . kevin : well , i 'm glad to hear that . mariah : why ? why do you care so much about what happens to me ? fenmore : austin kissed mariah ? summer : no , mariah kissed austin . she was just using him like she uses everybody . fenmore : why are you so sure the kiss was one - sided ? summer : because she 's a manipulative , self - absorbed skank . i mean , austin could never be interested in someone like that . fenmore : and you just -- you just know this ? summer : yeah , austin told me . fenmore : people say a lot of things when they get caught doing something they should n't . summer : no , i did n't catch austin and mariah doing anything . austin told me because he has nothing to hide . fenmore : yeah , or he was looking to cover up things before the truth came out . summer : no , that 's -- that 's not my husband . you do n't -- you do n't really know him . fenmore : neither do you . sage : i 'm just a big , old klutz who knocked over a vase and spilled water all over my clothes . and your daddy was nice enough to loan me his robe while my pants are in the dryer . faith : you should n't be here . nick : faith , that is no way to talk to a guest , young lady . faith : but it 's supposed to be my night with you , daddy . sage : i did n't mean to intrude on your plans . faith : well , they 're ruined now . nick : okay , you need to apologize right now . faith : but it 's the truth ! she did ruin them ! just like avery ! nick : are you sure this is how you want to play this ? go to your room . now . sage : i should go . nick : no . 'cause if you do that , then my daughter knows she can get whatever she wants when she throws a tantrum . plus if you leave now , i 'm gon na be drinking hot chocolate by myself , which sounds really depressing . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : stay . jack : thank you for coming back , doctor . dr. cutler : so , phyllis has changed her mind about returning to the clinic for a follow - up exam ? jack : unfortunately , no . phyllis is unable to accept that there are coma- related causes for her strange behavior . dr. cutler : i 'm not sure why you 've asked me to come back here . jack : i 'd like to talk to you about your other patients . dr. cutler : mr. abbott , as i 've already made quite clear , speaking about other patients would be a breach of confidentiality . jack : i find it ironic , doctor , that you are such a stickler for adhering to the rules now when you broke so many just treating phyllis . dr. cutler : i had no idea that phyllis ' family had n't actually given their consent . victor newman provided all the necessary documentation for phyllis to be enrolled in the trial . jack : and i 'm sure mr. newman also provided a healthy donation to your clinic . dr. cutler : my highest concern is my patients . jack : can you prove that , doctor , if i have a team of lawyers making the case that you were paid off to be quiet about phyllis ' treatment ? that could cost you your license . at the very least , the investigation alone would bring to an end your drug trial . dr. cutler : are you threatening me , mr. abbott ? jack : i am informing you , doctor , i will bring your life 's work to a screeching halt if you do n't give me the information i need . stitch : you may no longer have a future with jack . that does not mean your life is over . kelly : you 'd think that , would n't you ? stitch : look , you still have a job you really enjoy , friends who care about you , and a brother who wants to see you happy . kelly : i mean , as much as you want to understand , ben ... you have no idea how difficult this has been for me . stitch : okay , well , tell me , then . kelly : [ voice breaking ] i keep trying . i keep trying to rise above . i keep trying to do the right thing , but phyllis is making it impossible ! stitch : how ? kelly : she can not accept that jack ... can fall in love with somebody else . and we were in love , ben . we were so in love . we could have had a lifetime together . stitch : as tough as it is , you got to let that go . jack abbott made his choice . kelly : yeah , the wrong choice . stitch : i agree . my sister is one hell of a catch , okay ? but what jack wants , that 's -- that 's not for you and me to decide . kelly : i have to make some decisions of my own . stitch : jack is moving on with his life . and i suggest you do the same , as well , especially if jack 's fiancée is gon na be defending her turf by playing dangerous games . victoria : i really do n't want to get in the middle of this war between you and kelly . it 's gon na put me in a really awkward position . phyllis : because you 're involved with her brother ? victoria : yes , that 's right . phyllis : that 's good , because i do n't expect you to pick a side . victoria : well , what do you expect , phyllis ? phyllis : a little insight to the other woman . i know you 've been where i am right now -- kelly smack in the middle of your relationship . victoria : well , there 's a big difference . billy had a one - night stand with kelly . jack was in a committed relationship with her . phyllis : just a one - night stand with billy ? are you sure ? victoria : yes , i 'm positive . phyllis : kelly did n't want to keep things going ? victoria : i do n't know . i mean , there were a few times . there were some occasions when billy and kelly met up to talk . phyllis : okay . that 's it ? victoria : kelly was working for the foundation that was set up in dee dee 's name , and they maintained contact through that . phyllis : oh , that 's convenient . did that upset you ? victoria : yes , of course it upset me . yes , i mean , i was trying desperately to hang on to my marriage , and the woman that slept with my husband was hanging around . yeah , it upset me . phyllis : well , i know the feeling . it 's impossible to move on when someone refuses to let go . nick : oh , dry already ? sage : drier than they were . how 's faith ? nick : she 's , uh , mad at me , but that 's nothing new . sage : she closer to her mom ? nick : for now . she blames me for moving out and breaking up our family . sage : but you and her mother explained why it has to be that way . she 's just not buying it ? nick : well , faith does n't understand why i have n't forgiven sharon yet . she knows sharon did something , and she knows that she already apologized for it , and in faith 's mind , that should be good enough to make things right . sage : if only it were that easy . nick : yeah . if only . but what sharon did , an apology is n't gon na fix that . sage : was there someone else ? i 'm sorry . i should never have asked that . geez . it 's none of my business . nick : it 's cool . sharon did n't cheat on me . she did something much worse . she made me believe my oldest daughter was another man 's child . sage : oh , my god . that 's terrible . does faith ... ? nick : no , she has no idea . so that 's why when she looks at me with such contempt , it absolutely kills me because i just -- i want to yell , `` i 'm not the bad guy here , `` but i ca n't . sage : why ? why ? why ca n't you do that ? nick : because i do n't want faith to hate her mother . despite everything , sharon 's a great mother , and she loves faith so much , and i do n't want faith to have any doubt about that . sage : you 're a good dad . nick : [ sighs ] thanks . i try . but honestly , it 's nights like this where i really think i 'm failing . sage : do n't be so hard on yourself . sharon : faith ? ! nick : sharon ? what 's going on ? sharon : nick . oh , thank god . nick : okay , sharon , what are you doing here ? sharon : faith called . she said there was an emergency with you . i was so scared ! nick : there 's no emergency . everyone 's fine . if you would have called first , i would have saved you a trip . sharon : i tried calling ! you did n't answer your phone ! clearly you were busy with other things . nick : my ringer 's off . i never heard a call . sharon : is it too much to ask that i can get ahold of you while my daughter is staying here ? nick : do not turn this into me being irresponsible . you know damn well that faith is safe here . you need to stop checking on us , and you have to stop bursting into my home . sharon : faith called frantic ! what was i supposed to do , nick ? you were n't answering your phone ! should i just ignore our daughter , hope for the best ? nick : okay , we do n't need to get into this right now . the important thing is everyone 's fine and you can go on home now . faith : i want to go , too . will you take me home now , mommy ? nick : [ sighs ] kevin : you 're trying to push me away . mariah : you 're so full of yourself . kevin : it 's the same thing you did with nick and sharon . the minute anyone is the least bit nice to you , you start putting up all these walls . you should work on that . it 's very off - putting . mariah : so is having you constantly in my business . kevin : be glad . i 'm just trying to keep you from self - destructing . mariah : well , stop trying . i will manage to survive . you know , i 've -- i 've done it all of these years by myself without ever having met you . kevin : you and i are a lot alike , mariah . bad childhoods , lack of impulse control , terrible decision - making . mariah : so , if you 're as much of a loser as i am , why would i listen to you ? kevin : maybe i think that if i can keep you in check , it 'll keep me from imploding , too . and i can not afford to go down that path again . not now . not when my brother is counting on me to keep things together . mariah : how is he ? kevin : he 's hanging in . it 's weird , though , you know , having michael depend on me . i do n't want to -- i do n't want to let him down . mariah : you wo n't . kevin : yeah . listen , speaking of , uh , i 'm collecting money for this cancer run that we 're doing , and i was wondering if you might be willing to part with some of your tips from last night . mariah : this is everything . take it all . kevin : all of it ? mariah : it 's for a good cause , right ? kevin : i knew there was a decent person somewhere in there . and that 's why i like you . austin : like i said , do n't ruin a good thing . mariah : you are not reading the situation right . kevin and i are ... not like that . austin : oh . my bad . does n't mean you could n't be someday . fenmore : look , you barely knew austin before you guys got married . summer : i knew enough . fenmore : yeah , that he held your aunt hostage at gunpoint . summer : austin never meant to hurt my aunt avery , okay ? besides , she 's forgiven him , and so has everybody else . besides you , fen . what is that about ? fenmore : yeah , i just think that austin should have had to pay for his crime . summer : he did ! he got probation ! okay , that 's still a sentence , and if he does anything wrong within a year , he winds up going to prison . do n't you think that 's punishment ? fenmore : no ! the guy committed an armed felony ! i did , and i spent a month in prison . summer : well , that 's not austin 's fault . fenmore : yeah , i know that . summer : it does n't sound like you knew . fenmore : did you ever even find out if the guy can ski ? summer : okay , that is it ! ever since i 've gotten married , you have acted so judgmental ! but you do n't say what 's really on your mind , and it drives me crazy ! okay , so , you know , whatever you 're really thinking about me and austin , please just say it ! fenmore : okay . i think that the best thing that could happen to you would be for austin to cheat . summer : what ? fenmore : yeah , maybe then you 'd finally see the guy for the loser he is . summer , come on ! you asked me ! summer : i did not think that you were gon na say something so spiteful to me . you know , i have always had your back , fen . i guess it 's just too much for me to ask you to have mine . fenmore : do n't you see that this is me trying to do that ? i just -- i do n't want to see you get hurt . summer : that 's too late . fenmore : summer . victoria : i wasted a lot of time and energy being angry . phyllis : and how did you snap out of it ? victoria : i guess , um , i just focused on my kids . phyllis : summer and daniel are grown up . they do n't want my attention . victoria : okay , so concentrate on something else , like work or , i do n't know , planning your wedding . anything but kelly . phyllis : i wish i could if she would just stop playing the mind games she 's been playing since jack broke up with her . victoria : kelly 's not over jack ? phyllis : not by a long shot . she is determined to hang on to him . victoria : well , i guess i can understand why she 'd want to hold on to the one stable relationship that she 's had in her life . at least until now . you know , she 's had a lot of upheaval in the last few years . phyllis : you know , we 've all had it tough . but kelly is the only one going around torturing people because of it . jack : doctor , tell me about the other trial participants . dr. cutler : i refuse to disclose identities . jack : i 'm not asking for names and addresses . i want to know how they 're doing . dr. cutler : most have gone home to resume their lives . jack : have any of them reported a change in behavior ? a distinct change that the families are noticing ? dr. cutler : some do , yes . but that is n't unexpected in patients who 've experienced traumatic brain injuries . jack : and what kind of changes do you deem expected ? dr. cutler : some have had to relearn how to do basic things after their accidents . jack : thank god that 's not the case with phyllis . dr. cutler : and others have shown slight shifts in personality . jack : as in mood swings ? dr. cutler : sometimes it manifests itself in that way . or some patients have exhibited a lack of emotion , loss of empathy , questionable decision - making . jack : they no longer know right from wrong . dr. cutler : or they know the difference . there 's just no filter anymore . every action can be justified . jack : and phyllis is capable of almost anything . kelly : i am not concerned for myself , ben . i am worried about jack . stitch : what ? you think phyllis is gon na hurt jack ? kelly : who knows what she would do ? i can not let him marry that awful woman . i have to help him see phyllis for who she really is . not for my sake , but for his ! stitch : and put yourself at risk ? you ca n't do that ! kelly : i 'm not gon na give up on jack . stitch : okay , but phyllis is coming after you . she put poison in your tea . kelly : if somebody was trying to hurt victoria , ben , would n't you do everything you could possibly do to protect her ? stitch : that 's not the same . kelly : why ? because you have a chance with victoria ? stitch : because no one is going around poisoning my drinks to keep me away from victoria . you need to back off of this and let the police handle it . kelly : and -- and give phyllis another excuse to call me paranoid ? no way ! i am not gon na give that woman any more ammunition to use against me . stitch : yeah , well , whether you like it or not , that 's probably gon na be out of your hands . kelly : what did you do ? stitch : nothing . the hospital is obligated to report poisonings . so whether you like it or not , there 's probably gon na be an investigation . try to get some rest . i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na stay right here . uh , i just need to call victoria and tell her that i ca n't make our date . kelly : no , ben . no . you should n't miss your date just so you can sit here and watch me sleep . stitch : i am worried about you . kelly : well , i will rest much better knowing that you and victoria are having a wonderful time together , okay ? please ? stitch : [ sighs ] all right . okay . but if you need me -- kelly : i have your number , okay ? have a lovely time with the person that you love . faith : i want to go home with mommy . nick : so , you do n't think you should be punished for your bad behavior ? sharon : what bad behavior ? nick : she was very rude earlier and was talking back , so i sent her up to her room . and that must be when she called you and told you there was an emergency . faith : it was an emergency . my stomach hurts . mommy 's the only one that can make it feel better . sharon : okay , sweetie , i 'll take you home . nick : good night , faith . faith : bye . nick : i need you to stop undermining me in front of our daughter . sharon : she does n't feel good , nick . nick : okay . i 'm gon na let this go tonight . sharon : you should be grateful . now you can get back to your evening . hope you both enjoy it . nick : we will . and knock next time . [ door closes ] kevin : hey . good news . i 've already raised over $ 1,500 for that cancer run i 'm doing with michael . fenmore : great . kevin : think you 'll be able to make it home from school for it ? fenmore : maybe . kevin : uh , i 'm guessing your mom and dad told you that michael has started treatment , right ? look , it 's nothing to worry about . as soon as he 's done , he 's gon na be cancer - free . fenmore : yeah , i know dad will beat this . kevin : well , try and sound a little more convincing when you talk to them , okay ? fenmore : yeah , you know , i just had a fight with summer , so ... kevin : about what ? fenmore : i think she made a mistake marrying austin . kevin : well , you did n't say that to her , though , did you ? fenmore : i may have , yes . kevin : dude , are they teaching you nothing in college ? you can not say that to a person . fenmore : yeah , but i 'm serious , kevin . you know , she should just let mariah have him . talk about two people who deserve each other . mariah : kevin is still hung up on his ex . he 's not looking to get involved . austin : yeah , well , sometimes things just happen . i mean , like with me and summer . we started out as friends , and look where that ended up . mariah : yeah , running from the police and hiding out in crappy motels really has a way of bringing people together . austin : yeah , i really wish that had happened differently . i hate the beginning of my relationship with her is tied to something awful like that . mariah : well , i know about doing awful things . people do n't usually forgive me , though , so you 're lucky . austin : i am . summer 's amazing . summer : hoping to get another kiss ? 'cause that 's not gon na happen . mariah : look , about that -- summer : you know , do n't bother explaining it to me . i already heard how you threw yourself at austin just like you threw yourself at tyler when he was with abby . mariah : summer , please -- summer : you know , it 's kind of pathetic , the way that you go after men who are not available . did you actually think you had a chance with either of them ? [ scoffs ] please . you are an awful human who will never know what true love is like because no one can even stand to be around you . jack : hey . where have you been ? phyllis : went out and got some air . then i had a drink with victoria . jack : at the club ? phyllis : yeah . you can call and check my story . would n't be the first time you accuse me of lying . seems to be happening all the time . jack : i do n't like what 's happening between us . we 're arguing all the time . i want it to stop . phyllis : well , i do n't know if that 's possible . not until kelly is out of our lives for good . there does n't seem to be any lingering effects from whatever you ingested . kelly : you still do n't know what it is ? we 're waiting for the toxicology results . kelly : oh . but i 'm all clear , right ? kelly , understand that i still need to file a report about the poison . kelly : why ? i mean , it was an accident . you sure about that ? kelly : yes . it was really silly how it all happened . i was handling some chemicals at work , and i must not have cleaned my hands efficiently afterwards . so ... now that we know the cause , how soon can i be released ? stitch : hey . victoria : oh , hi . stitch : hey , sorry i could n't call . victoria : no , it 's okay . i 'm just glad to finally hear from you . so , tell me . what 's going on with your sister ? stitch : oh . well ... victoria : oh , thank you . stitch : she 'll be all right as soon as she gets jack out of her life . his fiancée tried to poison her . victoria : phyllis ? stitch : yeah . victoria : [ chuckles ] are -- do you have proof ? what are you talking about ? stitch : kelly says phyllis has been trying to cause all kinds of trouble , you know , setting it up to look like kelly 's some kind of stalker . victoria : well , that 's crazy . i mean , phyllis was just here saying the same thing about kelly . stitch : yeah , well , that does n't surprise me . you know , it was n't enough that jack proposed to that woman , which completely destroyed kelly . but now phyllis is intent on punishing my sister for ever getting involved with jack . victoria : uh , okay . so , how do we know which one of them is telling the truth ? stitch : clearly my sister . she 's the one in the hospital after drinking poisoned tea . victoria : ben , it 's just -- it 's not that black and white . stitch : it 's pretty black and white . victoria : well , we ca n't jump to conclusions that phyllis did it . i mean , there must be some other explanation for how the poison ended up in the tea . phyllis was n't the only one with access to it . stitch : what are you saying ? that my sister poisoned herself ? sharon : you seem to be in better spirits . and miraculously , your tummy seems to feel better . faith : my tummy really did n't hurt . i just did n't want to stay with daddy . sharon : faith , you really should n't make up stories , and you should never , ever call and pretend there 's an emergency . i was very worried . faith : i just did n't want to have to share my time with daddy . sharon : what were your daddy and that woman talking about ? faith : i heard daddy tell the woman to take off her clothes . nick : sorry about the ugly domestic scene . sage : well , i feel partly responsible for what went down here . faith probably feels displaced by me being here . nick : well , she needs to learn that she ca n't cry wolf and have her mother come running every time she sees me talking to another woman . sage : yeah , but things are open to misinterpretation considering i was walking around in your robe with no pants on . [ both laugh ] sage : i 'm gon na avoid all liquids from now on . nick : so , does that mean you intend to see me again ? kevin : mariah 's not interested in austin . she was upset , so she did something outrageous . it 's what she does . it 's what i do , too . i mean , she 's -- she 's not a bad person . she just , you know ... fenmore : what ? she 's misunderstood ? [ scoffs ] you sound like summer . she 's real quick to make excuses , too , blinded by love . kevin . hey , you 're not into mariah -- austin : you did not have to be that rude to mariah . summer : she kissed you ! do you honestly expect me to be nice to her ? ! austin : yeah , but did you have to be so cruel ? i told you the kiss meant nothing . summer : you sure about that ? austin : yeah , i 'm s -- where 's that coming from ? summer : i was talking to fen , and fen -- austin : oh , i get it . okay , so your rich friend 's trying to make it out i 'm not good enough , right ? which is probably true 'cause i do n't have a huge bank account or a fancy car . but you know what i do n't do ? i do n't kick people when they 're down , which is more than i can say for you . stitch : my sister is not suicidal . victoria : okay , i did n't mean that . stitch : if kelly was gon na kill herself , it would have been after her son died . sam was her entire world . losing him was far worse than losing jack could ever be . victoria : i know it was , okay ? but having lost sam and jack , maybe -- stitch : this has to be phyllis . victoria : i 've known phyllis for a long time . i have . and she can be very vindictive , but her life is really good right now . she has no reason to feel insecure . so there must be something else going on here . jack : eventually kelly will come to terms with the fact that i have moved on . until then , i think it 's best you keep your distance , that way there are no misunderstandings . phyllis : i understand perfectly . kelly wants to drive me out of your life . jack : that will never happen . i have made that abundantly clear to kelly . phyllis : i did , too . jack : wait . how ? [ door closes ] kelly : she poisoned me . [ next_on ] phyllis : you are taking the word of some lunatic who wants to break us up over mine ! aah ! avery : we 're gon na settle this right now , or someone 's gon na get killed !

[ previously_on ] lily : i have been locked in here , and he 's been telling me that everything is fine , and this whole time , he 's been cheating on me with victoria ? billy : no , as far as victoria says , it has n't gone beyond kissing . kerry : oh , darn . you 've gone and made yourself irresistible . mia : will you marry me ? again . rey : nothing would make me happier . mia : [ giggles ] victor : call michael baldwin and tell him to get on this immediately . nick : yeah . my mom is the one who knows my father the best , and if she tells me that my dad is innocent , then i believe her . michael : how many do i have this afternoon ? what time ? all right . nick : morning . sharon : hi . you here to see michael about victor 's case ? nick : i did n't know he was here , but i do need to talk to him . michael : talk to whom ? nick : you . sharon : i 'll get your usual . nick : thanks . you got a minute ? michael : oh , oh , oh ! wait .

[ chuckles ] oh ! cane : hey , why are n't you guys in school ? charlie : um ... mattie : senior ditch day . charlie : yeah , i thought we told you last week , remember ? cane : uh , vaguely , yeah . mattie : how 'd your visit with mom go ? cane : it was good , um , you know , everything 's fine . you know , she misses you guys , sends her love . nothing to worry about , though . charlie : why do you sound so worried ? cane : no , i 'm not . there 's some things at work that cropped up , um , but -- so what are you guys doing today , other than blowing off school ? mattie : uh , we thought we might go to the mall , see what movies are playing . cane : okay , do you want some money ? are you okay ? charlie : nah , we 're good . cane : okay . mattie : are you sure everything 's okay ? cane : yeah , yeah , yeah . everything 's fine . do n't worry about it . mattie : okay . charlie : well , see you later , dad . cane : see ya . hey , ted , it 's cane ashby . is billy abbott in the office today ? whoa . well , half the day 's already gone by . what time 's he get in ? listen , do n't worry about it . no message , i , uh ... i 'll track him down . phyllis : wow . kerry : hmm ? phyllis : mm - hmm . exceptional . truly . kerry : i 'm glad you like it . phyllis : congratulations ! kerry : thank you . phyllis : i do n't just like it , i love it ! this is gon na be a big seller -- `` jack of hearts . `` how catchy is that ? kerry : well , it 's not exactly for sale . it 's just a little something i knocked out for jack , strictly limited edition of one . phyllis : lucky jack . kerry : mm - hmm . phyllis : so , things are still going well with you and him ? kerry : they are , actually . phyllis : well , that 's nice to hear . kerry : i do n't know , it 's new for me -- no pressure , being a relationship that 's just fun and easy . phyllis : well , i 'm sure jack appreciates that . especially after i put him through hell during our last divorce . kerry : he never says anything negative about you . or any of his other ex- wives . phyllis : all 850 of us . kerry : [ laughs ] yeah , it sure seems like it . phyllis : yeah , well , jack is a gentleman that way . he really is . you know , i -- i 'm actually -- i 'm very good with my exes , you know , once they become exes . i only seem to have a problem with them during the relationship . you know what , i take that back . phyllis : ted . get me billy abbott in here . now . rey : wow , the league cup is gon na be killer this year . i wish i had enough vacation time to be at the final . mia : when is it ? rey : next month . wembley stadium . mia : london ? in your dreams , baby . rey : one of these days . mia : what i 'm planning for the two of us -- every bit as exciting as some soccer game . rey : renewing our vows ? mia : [ sighs ] yes ! i 'm having a blast researching this . you would n't believe how popular it is . rey : it really is a thing , huh ? mia : huge ! big - time . did you know there are some couples that replicate their wedding cakes and get professional photographers ? i 'm a little bummed that we 're gon na be doing this on such short notice and we wo n't be able to do that . they 're all booked up right now because they 're with engagement photos and valentine 's day weddings . rey : is this your way of telling me you want to push it back a month or two ? you need a little more time to plan ? mia : i can not wait to be mrs . rey rosales again . delaying this is out of the question . rey : so , when do you think this is gon na happen ? have you picked out a date yet ? mia : as soon as i can pull everything together . you 'll be the first to know , i promise . rey : i 'm glad . i do n't want to wait , either . and i 'm happy to help , whichever way i can . just give me a list and put me to work . mia : [ sighs ] mmm ! you do realize that you just earned 1,755 bonus good husband points . [ giggles ] rey : [ laughs ] oh , well , i 'll take as many as i can get . they 'll help me when i 'm stuck in the dog house . mia : [ giggles ] i do have to say , baby ... you 've really been supportive of me doing this . i appreciate it , rey . rey : i think renewing our vows is a fine idea . it just makes me wonder ... what made you think of it ? why now ? sharon : could you get the back patio cleaned up for me ? it 's a little messy . michael : and then i go right to a deposition . nick : well , fit me when you can . i want to talk to some strategy so we can figure out how to beat these charges . michael : well , i am headed to an appointment now , but afterward , i could stop by your place , if that works for you . nick : i 'll make it work . getting my dad out of this jam is my top priority . once that happens , then i will concentrate on figuring who framed my dad in the first place . in terms of treating sensitivity , additional sponsorship phyllis : evidently , billy saw it fit to take the company jet for a joy ride yesterday . kerry : [ scoffs ] wait , he did what ? where ? phyllis : oh , it does n't matter . he refuses to accept that i am the one in charge . kerry : i thought you two were getting along better lately . you worked so well together on the barlow account ! phyllis : yeah , we got into it over a personal issue recently , so i am assuming he is misusing company assets to prove his point . i have to make him understand that acting out like this is unacceptable . [ cellphone rings ] kerry : sorry , i should have turned that off . phyllis : you know what , if it 's jack , take it . he might know where billy is . kerry : oh ! good morning . jack : it will be an even greater afternoon if i can convince you to have lunch with me . i promise , this time , we 'll actually eat . kerry : [ laughs ] jack . i would love to , but i 'm , uh , swamped with work . another time ? jack : i 'm disappointed , but okay . kerry : oh , um , i 'm with , uh , phyllis . she 's looking for billy . any idea where she can find him ? jack : phyllis is looking for billy ? billy : no . jack : uh , sorry , i ca n't help you there . kerry : oh . well , worth a try . you have a good one , jack . thanks again for the invitation . jack : count on it . billy : thanks for that . jack : you got home pretty late last night . can i assume that means you were having a good time with victoria ? billy : i was with a friend that got some bad news . jack : anyone i know ? billy : i 'd rather not talk about it . jack : fair enough . i 'm sure whoever this friend was was happy to have you there . billy : looks like you 're ready for work . i wo n't keep you . jack : have a good one . billy : you too , jack . mia : when i left miami to join you , i thought `` this is it . `` i did n't know if we were gon na move forward and pack it up . i did n't know if you were gon na be happy or angry or bitter or , worse yet , indifferent . all i knew was that i could n't be alone anymore . rey : i 'm sorry . mia : quiet , you . i 'm talking . but we 've weathered some storms , and it feels like we 're on solid ground . rey : and that 's what makes you want to say `` i do `` again . mia : in the worst way . i want the whole world to see that love truly can conquer . rey : i 'm sorry , the -- the whole world ? mia : yeah . it 's gon na be public . rey : is it ? i -- i assumed we were gon na do something small and private here . mia : [ laughs ] when did you get that idea ? when have i ever wanted to do anything small ? rey : mm , well , our wedding was n't huge . it was just a few guests at the courthouse , and there was no reception because we had to catch a flight , rush off to our honeymoon in the keys . you were n't happy with that . mia : oh , it was fine , and i 'm not unhappy about that . all that mattered to me that day was becoming your wife , okay ? and now that we 've weathered some storms , you know , it feels like we should do it right , have a real celebration . rey : how real are we talking , mia ? sharon : thank you . nick : [ sighs ] so , did you happen to see my interview on the milwaukee station ? sharon : mariah showed me a clip . victor must be so relieved to have you on his side for a change . nick : i gave the cops fair warning . i 'm going to do everything in my power to counteract all of the made - up facts they continue to peddle . sharon : nick , ease up . it 's not like rey has a goal to convict an innocent man . he 's a professional . he 's just doing his job . honestly , he believes that victor killed j.t . nick : do you ? sharon : no , i don't . nothing i 've seen or heard so far proves to me that he 's guilty . nick : and i suppose you 've kept that opinion to yourself . sharon : well , you 're wrong about that . rey knows exactly how i feel , and we have agreed to disagree . nick : incredible . sharon : what is ? nick : both you and mariah seem , uh , willing to keep an open mind . sharon : having seen victor at his worst , you mean . nick : well , not many people would be able to remain objective after that . sharon : and would any of those people include phyllis ? nick : why would you ask that ? sharon : victoria said your girlfriend 's going around town telling everybody who will listen that victor 's guilty . that must make for some awkward conversation at home . nick : phyllis is looking at this from a different angle . she has her own reasons for feeling the way she does . sharon : oh , phyllis has her reasons for everything , always . i 've never seen anyone so skilled at justifying their own bad behavior . phyllis : billy ? billy : what are you doing , lying in wait ? phyllis : i asked security to notify me the minute you walked in the building . billy : of course you did . phyllis : please , come into my office . i think we have some things to discuss . billy : what 's the problem ? phyllis : you took the company jet yesterday without any type of authorization . billy : that is correct . phyllis : you care to tell me why ? billy : i needed to get somewhere fast , and the jet was the only option . phyllis : what was so urgent ? billy : it 's a personal matter . phyllis : that it ? no other explanation ? billy : if you want me to pay for it , phyllis , i can do that . it 's fine . phyllis : no , it 's not fine . the plane is not your personal taxi service . if it was a real emergency , you could have asked me . but maybe that was the point . flouting my authority , undermining me in front of everyone who works here . billy : okay , do n't start with this whole conspiracy theory stuff , okay ? phyllis : what the hell do you expect me to think ? billy : well , i would n't have had to go anywhere if you did n't shoot your mouth off to victoria . you have no idea the chain of toxic events that you set into motion . phyllis : i have no idea what you 're talking about . billy : [ sighs ] i should n't have said anything . i 'm sorry . phyllis : the point is , you absconded with the jet -- billy : borrowed , phyllis . i borrowed the jet . phyllis : jabot is not a lending library . it 's a corporation . one you no longer run . you 're an employee . if you pull another stunt like this , you may not even be that . jack : i have the cost projections on the barrington project , unless you do n't want to deal with this right now . nick : maybe when i 'm less immersed in this situation with my dad . jack : fine . i understand victor made bail . nick : it 's amazing what you can do when you actually hire a lawyer . jack : nikki 's got to be pretty relieved to have victor back home . nick : yeah , we all are , but that does n't mean it 's over . somebody set up my dad . once he 's cleared , what is to stop them from finding some other way to ruin his life ? jack : given victor 's pension for making enemies , i 'd say your list of suspects has got to be pretty long . nick : kevin fischer crossed my mind . jack : that 's interesting . it would certainly explain why victor did n't call michael immediately after he was arrested . who else you got ? nick : well , like you said , there 's no shortage of names . chelsea . luca . ian ward . even j.t . , if the police have it wrong that he 's actually dead . i mean , they 've been so wrong about so many things lately . jack : are n't you leaving one name out ? i have a lifetime of grudges against the old man . nick : you know , that thought did occur to me . jack : i 'd be shocked if it didn't . i can assure you , i am not responsible for this . you have my word . nick : okay , well , then who am i missing ? can you think of anyone else ? you obviously can think of someone else . who have you got ? jack : you 're not gon na like my answer . nick : eh , do n't worry about that . jack : if we 're collecting names of people with good reason to hate victor who are clever enough to set him up like this , you do n't have to look too far from home . nick : phyllis . mia : you 're always good with our money . that 's what i love about you . so it makes me feel safe about being with you . rey : i 'm glad to hear it because a big , spontaneous second wedding with all the trappings -- we 're still paying off our christmas , mia . mia : i know , but that 's part of the challenge , mi amor . and i 'm great at making a splash without making it extravagant . rey : that 's true . mia : come on now . i still have my wedding dress that fits -- thank god . we have our wedding rings . we do n't need fancy invitations , and i 'm happy with just a playlist and not a band . if we were in miami , i would want the entire family , but since we 're here ... i 'm happy with it just being lola , arturo , me and you , and the friends we 've made . minus the newmans , who are not probably not into it because you arrested victor newman . rey : well , that sounds very manageable . mia : thank you . i do try . rey : i know you do . so that just means we have to find a nice place to have the ceremony and party after . unless you 've already chosen someplace . mia : that was next . rey : mm , maybe a restaurant with a private room , maybe someplace elegant where you can show off your good taste , huh ? mia : thank you ! that 's perfect . rey : so , what about our vows ? do you want a judge again , or ... ? i can arrange for a priest to officiate . mia : that 'd be wonderful . rey : i 'm on it . mia : one last thing . i want a wedding party this time , people that 'll stand along with us . rey : well , i doubt i could get my buddy carl to fly up in time . him and his wife just had another baby . mia : oh , well , i was thinking more along the lines of ... arturo . rey : i do n't know , mia . i mean , i see where you 're coming from , i just -- i do n't know if that 's the best idea . mia : and i totally understand where you 're coming from . okay ? and if you feel that way , i 'll drop it . but i do think it 's important for our family . i think it would be meaningful to show them how far we 've come along in the healing process . and i know for a fact arturo is happy that we 've moved on and worked things out . rey : we did have a nice talk the other day . about how good it feels to be brothers again . mia : aww . rey : you 're right . it is a great idea . i will make it a point of asking him . mia : thank you , baby ! oh ! you know what i realized ? rey : what 's that ? mia : i 'm starving . why do n't we go and celebrate ? rey : i 'm in . mia : mm ! just give me a few minutes to get ready . rey : uh , a few minutes ? how about i get a cup of coffee and wait for you downstairs ? and wait . and wait . nick : hey , jack , you got a second ? jack : yeah . nick : hey , sorry i had to cut our conversation short earlier . it 's just -- i was playing phone tag with the mayor all day yesterday trying to make sure that we could count on him to have our back in this . jack : after i suggested that your girlfriend set up your father , i guess i should be happy you did n't throw me out . nick : it was n't exactly a new thought , either . jack : oh ? nick : phyllis resents the hell out of my father , and she always will . nick : because of the marco thing . nick , that 's never gon na go away . it is the worst thing that ever happened to phyllis . what he did to her , what he did to us is repugnant . nick : you could have been killed . jack : add to that the fact that he only served a fraction of his sentence ... look , if phyllis harbors some secret delight in the prospect of victor spending the rest of his natural life behind bars , for whatever crime , would that surprise anyone that knows her ? nick : it 's hardly a secret , and she 's said as much . i just do n't want to believe that she could have any part in trying to pin a murder on my dad . jack : you do n't want to believe it , or you do n't believe it ? michael : oh ! phyllis : [ laughs ] michael : well , uh , i was just listening to fenmore 's new song ! sorry . every time i listen to it , it gets better and better . have you downloaded it yet ? phyllis : i will have to get on that . what are you doing here ? michael : oh , uh , nick wanted to meet about victor 's case . he 's running a bit late , so the housekeeper let me in . phyllis : oh , look at that , mystery solved . michael : huh . so , how are things going at jabot ? i can tell you that lauren 's a lot more content since you 've taken the reins . phyllis : oh , well , that 's good to hear . but you have a big bear of a case this time , do n't you ? michael : not especially . the evidence i 've seen is pretty flimsy . phyllis : i think the public has been led to believe otherwise . are you gon na at least try for a change of venue ? otherwise , you are not gon na get an impartial jury in this town . michael : [ chuckles ] i would n't go that far . i mean , it 's true , the allegations against victor have been highly publicized , but ... phyllis : you do n't think that he royally screwed himself when he threatened j.t . on live television ? i mean , how are you gon na counteract that impression ? michael : it 's like you said . it 's highly prejudicial . there 's a decent chance i can get it thrown out . phyllis : maybe so , but you 're not gon na be able to erase it from people 's memories . everyone saw it . michael : i 'm not really that concerned . it 's possible this case may never go before a jury . phyllis : meaning you 're gon na recommend that victor cut a deal . michael : [ chuckles ] you have n't listened to a word i 've said . i do n't believe this is a winner for the police . my goal is to get them to drop the charges and move on . which does not make you the least bit happy . [ doorbell rings ] [ ringing continues ] i landed . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . michael : right ? phyllis : [ laughs ] you 're right , it 's a total earworm ! michael : yes ! i 'm sorry , what ? what is that ? phyllis : an earworm ! michael : what ? phyllis : hi , hon . michael : hey ! nick : hey . phyllis : it 's when a song bores its way into your skull , and there 's no chance of getting it out . michael : yes . yes . that 's a perfect description . that 's a perfect description . nick : well , i had better pay you your retainer now . otherwise , you 're gon na run off and be fen 's agent . michael : eh , well , for now , i think i 'm content to bask in the glow of my son 's success . phyllis : ah , for now . such a lawyer , always looking for a loophole . michael : thank you . oh ! uh , we should probably get down to business . nick : yeah , i know you got a busy day . thanks for fitting me in . michael : yeah , well , um ... since victor was released , have you two discussed any particular strategies ? nick : babe , uh , would you mind , uh , giving us some privacy ? phyllis : yeah . no problem . nick : not too awkward , right ? michael : before you arrived , phyllis and i were chatting about victor 's case and , uh ... i could tell she was less - than - thrilled when i told her i was planning to get him out of this mess . jack : hey there ! sharon : hi ! how are you ? jack : i would to place an order to go . sharon : what would you like ? jack : one salade niçoise , one chef salad , and two orders of the apple strudel to go . sharon : mm , your lunch order sounds so good , now i 'm getting hungry . jack : yeah , it 's , uh ... it 's for a picnic . i 'm gon na surprise kerry at work . spread a tablecloth in the lab , i 'll have some flowers with me . sharon : aww , you thought of everything . jack : well , kyle 's been encouraging me to up my game , romantically speaking . sharon : he and lola are so cute together . he goes out of his way to make her happy , and she just beams whenever he 's around . jack : yeah , i have to say , the new year is looking pretty good for the abbott men . sharon : i hope that includes billy , as well . jack : well , i 'm not at liberty to share details , but i have reason to think things are looking up for my brother , too . sharon : because i noticed how supportive he was of victoria when nikki was in the hospital , and then at the memorial service for j.t . with phyllis out of the picture now , i hope that billy and victoria will be able to put their family back together . billy : back off , cane . cane : why would you go to the prison and tell lily something that would break her spirit ? billy : she had a right to know what you were up to . cane : oh , really ? what are you , the champion of truth and justice ? billy : you know what , it was n't that long ago that i was left in the dark . cane : okay . billy : i did for lily what i wish someone did for me . cane : i was gon na go and tell her @ billy : give me a break . when ? cane : oh , yeah . last night , i was gon na drive up to confess , but you expected that , which is why you got there first , so you could put your own spin on it . billy : oh , right , like you did n't spin it ? cane : no , i could n't spin it because she would n't talk to me . now she 's sitting up there alone feeling like i betrayed her ! billy : which you did ! cane : look , i 'm not gon na defend myself to you , all right ? this is none of your business , and you have no right to get involved ! you brought me a meatball sub . how nice of you . jack : [ laughs ] next time , frank . actually , i 'm surprising kerry with a picnic lunch , but i just stopped by the lab , and the doors are locked . uh , ms . johnson just left the building about 20 minutes ago . i said goodbye to her on the way out . jack : well , i guess the surprise is on me . have a good one . you too , mr . abbott . jack : take care , frank . kerry : hello , this is kerry . jack : hey ! it 's me . uh , i know you said you were too busy to have lunch out today , so i thought maybe , if you had n't already eaten , i could bring lunch to you . what do you say ? take a break with me ? kerry : sorry , i do n't have time to talk right now . i 'm busy in the lab . another time . i 'll call you later , okay ? hi , i 'm on my way . i 'm just running a little late . billy : once i saw you all over victoria , i was n't gon na pretend like nothing happened . i care too much about her and lily . cane : oh , please , you do n't care about victoria because she 's gon na hate what you did . i mean , unless that was your plan . was that your plan ? so she would feel so guilty , she 'd have to run to lily and explain what she did ? billy : dude , you 're nuts . i do n't blame victoria for this . after what phyllis said , making her feel second - best , no wonder she was vulnerable . cane : all right , so you still think i took advantage of her , after victoria 's told you over and over that she 's the one who came onto me . you know what i think happened ? you could n't handle it , so you went and did what you did out of jealousy . billy : you 're so full of it . cane : oh , am i ? you 're the one who ran to lily because you thought it was the right thing to do . in reality , you 're just pissed at victoria because she does n't want you back . sharon : refill ? unless you think mia might be coming down soon . rey : no , go ahead . fill ' er up . she 's probably still deciding what kind of shoes to wear . sharon : mm . you enjoying your day off ? rey : it 's been great so far . i have slept in , got to watch some soccer . some more soccer . sharon : that 's ... great . i 'm not sure i 've ever seen you so relaxed . rey : no . you haven't . it 's been a big deal for me , cracking the hellstrom case . that pressure 's finally off . i 'm not worrying if the commission is gon na shut down the investigation . i know you do n't think victor 's guilty . even though the evidence is on our side , i wo n't try to talk you out of your opinion . sharon : that 's big of you . rey : i know better than to start something . sharon : oh ! so , is there something else going on in life that 's making you feel this good ? favorite team win ? rey : things have been better at home . for mia and i . the last time things were this good , we were , uh , on our honeymoon . sharon : well , i 'm really glad to hear that . if you 're happy , i 'm happy . phyllis : safe to come back ? nick : yeah . i 'm sorry , i , uh , hope you understand why i had to ask you to leave the room . i know it 's a little awkward because we do n't agree on if my dad 's innocent or not . phyllis : i did n't love the feeling of being unwelcome in our home , no . nick : i 'm sorry . phyllis : but i think you 're right , that that may be the best way to handle things , keep that part of our lives separate , you know ? focus on what we have in common , like wanting this relationship to work . right ? we still have that in common , do n't we ? nick : yeah . phyllis : good . billy : you know , your marriage would have a better chance of surviving if you were concerned about lily 's needs and not your own . cane : oh , please , do n't act like you 're concerned about my marriage . billy : right now , all i care about is getting you out of my face . cane : okay , well , last night , all you cared about was , what , hurting lily because you were hurting ? i mean , you complain about phyllis being spiteful and trying to tank your relationship with victoria , but how is what you did any different ? the two of you saw your ex with someone else , and you could n't stand it , so you went and threw grenades . billy : oh , no , cane . i did n't throw grenades . i went up there to warn lily that one was coming her way . cane : okay , just like phyllis wanted to warn victoria that you were on the rebound . you know what , it seems to me , after all the years you 've spent jerking women around that what she did was an act of kindness . billy : well , here 's the thing , cane -- it does n't matter because nobody cares what you think . cane : oh , really ? you know what , you and pyllis , you 're perfect for each other . maybe you should have stayed there and been miserable so you did n't have to spread it around . billy : you want me to apologize ? well , it 's not gon na happen . if me telling lily what you did stops you from cheating behind her back , then i would say that 's a good thing because lily is about as classy and decent as it gets , and i 'll say it again . she deserves better than you . cane : my family could come apart for what you did . so you may not be sorry , but , trust me , i 'm gon na make you live to regret it . mia : i bet you were wondering if i 'd ever make it . rey : wow . it was worth the wait . mia : aww . sharon : you look lovely , mia . mia : aww , thank you . rey : uh , i 'm guessing by your outfit choice , you 're wanting to go somewhere nicer than i had in mind . mia : oh , i hope that 's okay . rey : why not ? we 're celebrating . since when do we both have the same day off ? top of the tower okay ? mia : [ gasps ] you 're spoiling me ! oh , but i love it . sharon : you two have fun . mia : oh , did you tell sharon about our plans ? rey and i are renewing our wedding vows . we 're really doing it up right this time . my wonderful husband is coming up with such terrific ideas , giving me the wedding of my dreams , and giving me a big party afterward . i hope you 'll be able to make it , you know , and bring a date . rey : we do n't even know when it 's gon na be yet , mia . mia : soon , because we 're both excited to be doing this . jack : if we 're collecting names of people with good reason to hate victor who are clever enough to set him up like this , you do n't have to look too far from home . sharon : phyllis has her reasons for everything , always . michael : i could tell she was less - than - thrilled when i told her i was planning to get him out of this mess .

paul : so this is where you 've been hiding . i have n't seen you around the office in a few days . michael : yeah , i 've been working on ashley 's case . i just had to get out of there . paul : i had dinner with her tonight . michael : how is she ? paul : she 's scared . i did my best to make her forget her troubles . michael : i 'm sure that was greatly appreciated . paul : of course , she would n't be in this situation in the first place if it was n't for you . so i certainly hope you have something in that pile of papers to get her out of this mess . [ scene_break ] victor : they were right . somebody said there was a beautiful lady sitting all by herself . how are you doing ? ashley : next topic . victor : it 's that bad ? ashley : my life 's up in the air , victor . i could lose everything including my daughter . yeah , it 's that bad . victor : you know that i will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening -- everything . ashley : maybe it 's fate that we ran into each other tonight . victor : what do you mean by that ? ashley : can you keep a secret ? [ scene_break ] gloria : hey , honey . all right , what 's wrong ? you sounded very strange on the phone . kevin : i never thought i 'd see her again , but she 's back . gloria : who 's back ? kevin : colleen . gloria : john 's granddaughter ? is n't she the , uh ... kevin : yeah , yeah , she 's the one . and she hates me as much as ever . gloria : well , then just stay away from her . kevin : how ? in case you 've forgotten , mom , we 're family . gloria : honey , listen to me . do not -- do not let this get to you . kevin : mom , you do n't understand . she is so angry it freaked me out . it 's like a personal insult a personal insult to her that everyone does n't hate me . and she 's gon na turn mr. abbott against me . [ scene_break ] john : oh , my goodness . do you know this is the best surprise i 've had in months ? it 's so good to see you . colleen : it 's great to see you , too , granddad . how are you feeling ? john : oh , i 'm stronger than ever . i 'll be my old self in no time . colleen : really ? john : listen , do n't be worrying about me . you should be concentrating on your studies . n.y.u . is a magnificent school . it 's -- sometimes i just wish that you were a bit closer , my little beauty , you know ? i miss you . colleen : i miss you , too , granddad . i just ... i ca n't believe how much has changed since i left town . john : are you talking about ashley 's arrest ? colleen : well , that 's one part of it . i 'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around some other things , too . john : well , like what , honey ? colleen : like , how on earth could people have forgiven kevin fisher ? i mean , has everyone in town lost their minds ? [ scene_break ] neil : devon , just relax . nothing bad has happened . devon : you two , i 'm not stupid . yolanda : devon , neil did n't do anything . i did . devon : mom , no . yolanda : look , i am so sorry . um , i made a mistake . i got , um , caught up in the idea of us being a family . and i guess i started , um ... seeing things that were n't there . [ scene_break ] phyllis : jack , this is great . this is just like you -- to completely treat me like dirt and then wonder why i do n't run into your arms when you bring over dinner . i got news for you . you 're not that charming . jack : yeah , right now , you 're not either . phyllis : you know something ? you hurt me , jack . you hurt me . it 's one thing to deny my project . but then to line up lawyers to completely crush my dreams ? jack : okay , maybe that was over the top . phyllis : ya think ? jack : hey , you 're not the only one hurting here . this is tough for me , too . i want you back at jabot . i want you back in my life . that office is not the same without you . i ca n't imagine my life without you . now come on . let 's make up here . we have far too much history together . [ scene_break ] victor : you know that anything you tell me will stay strictly between us . ashley : i ca n't talk to anybody about this -- especially my father . i need to stay strong . victor : you do n't need to stay strong with me . what 's going on ? ashley : i just never thought i 'd be charged with first - degree murder . victor : it 's preposterous . and no jury in their right mind will convict you . ashley : you know that i just wanted to protect my family , right ? victor : why did n't you come to me when that fellow was beginning to harass you ? ashley : i did n't think there was anything you could do . and frankly , even though i wish i could change things . if i was back in that alley with tom fisher , i would ... i 'd make the same choice . victor : you mean , he was that dangerous ? ashley : i did the right thing . victor : ashley , you 're keeping something from me . what is it ? [ scene_break ] michael : listen , williams , i have been working day and night trying to keep ashley out of prison . unfortunately , it 's not gon na be that easy . paul : i 'm sure the evidence is overwhelming . michael : well , it should n't be . there is no evidence that ashley ever fired a gun in her life . i could 've made a very convincing case that she was n't the shooter . paul : well , what do you mean `` could 've ? `` why ca n't you ? if she 's not the shooter , the d.a . does n't have a case . michael : well , you 're exactly right . and when i made my pitch to glenn about self - defense , ashley , somehow , felt it necessary to make a full confession . apparently , she shot tom in self - defense . paul : that 's crazy ! what the hell was she thinking ? [ scene_break ] gloria : do n't you worry so much . you and john buried the hatchet a long time ago . kevin : yeah . yeah , but colleen will remind him of all the bad things i 've done . and he 'll take her side . gloria : mnh - mnh , that 's not gon na happen . besides , his number one priority right now is ashley . he is not interested in digging up the past . kevin : he wo n't have to . colleen will do it for him . and watch -- watch -- i 'm gon na get banned from the abbott house . gloria : do n't forget that 's my house , too . and if she does start to trash you , then i 'll just have to set her straight . so , my dear , you have nothing to worry about . [ scene_break ] john : colleen , no one has lost their mind . i know this is difficult for you to accept . but , honey , kevin has changed . colleen : i refuse to believe that . john : look , i had difficulty believing it , too . but you 'll see for yourself . colleen : i did . this afternoon at the coffeehouse . sorry , i do n't buy it . john : well , guess we 're not gon na agree on this . colleen : no , we 're not . john : well , what do you say we , uh , talk about something more pleasant ? colleen : hmm . pleasant . ( sighs ) wait , how is it that ashley , out of all people , wound up shooting kevin fisher 's father ? john : well , uh , it happened the night that i had my accident . and i do n't remember . from what i was told , tom fisher called gloria and demanded that she meet him . and then ashley overheard and just ... ran out to meet him herself . colleen : are you okay ? john : yeah , yeah , i 'm fine . i 'm fine , honey . it was nothing . colleen : um ... i just do n't understand why ashley did n't call the police . i mean , if this guy was as dangerous as everybody said he was ... [ john has a flashback before he shot tom . ] tom : what the hell are you doing here ? [ scene_break ] colleen : granddad ? look at you . i mean , there 's obviously something wrong . what is it ? john : i do n't know . i think i 'm starting to remember . [ scene_break ] phyllis : listen , the easiest thing for me to do would be to throw my arms around you and make up . jack : so why do n't you ? phyllis : what 's the point , jack ? jack : the point ? being with the one you love ? phyllis : with the one you love until -- until when ? until you go behind my back and figure out another way to completely wreck my life ? jack : i have been a controlling jerk . i have learned my lesson . phyllis : for how long ? until i decide not to do what you want ? jack : phyllis , where is this coming from ? phyllis : where is what coming from ? jack : this attitude . it 's like your doing everything you can to pull away from me . phyllis : listen , but that 's what we do . we break up and we get back together and we break up and we get back together . we do it over and over again . jack : so let 's figure out a way to communicate better . let 's make our relationship more of a priority . phyllis : no , this is what we are , jack ! i 'm afraid what we 're doing now is what we 'll always do . and it 's not enough for me ! [ scene_break ] neil : devon , son , i 'm sorry . i am really sorry that you had to walk in on that . i want you to know that nothing inappropriate happened . devon : neil , please , you 're not the one that needs to be apologizing right now . neil : do n't be so hard on your mom , all right ? what she did was impulsive . devon : i really thought she had changed . neil : she has changed . devon : like she was n't just standing here in her bathrobe , neil ? you know something ? it 's the same old story . every time she almost gets her act together , she blows it . when i was a kid , she cleaned up a few times , promised to get me out of whatever foster home i was in . i 'd pack my bags , wait by the window , always -- always , she 'd mess things up right at the last minute . neil : and yet , despite all that , you 've stood by her , made sure she got the help she needed . devon : and you know what ? i could n't have done all this without you and drucilla . you guys went out on a limb for her . this is how she repays you ? neil : hey , hey , listen to me , all right ? this was n't your fault . yolanda : it 's mine . look , um ... i know that you and drucilla are probably never gon na be able to trust me again -- which is why i 'm leaving . devon : you 're gon na get your own apartment ? now ?

[ scene_break ] colleen : your accident ? is that what you 're remembering ? john : i think so . just not the way i imagined . colleen : why ? what 's coming back to you ? john : oh , nothing makes sense . colleen : why do n't you try saying it out loud ? maybe it will make more sense . john : maybe -- maybe if i go back to the scene of the accident , it would help jog my memory . colleen : granddad , do n't push yourself . just give it some time . john : honey , we do n't have time . what happened that night is very important . it could help ashley . i am so close . if i could just put the pieces together ! gloria : john , i 'm home ! my goodness ... colleen , i heard you were in town . colleen : hello . gloria : how wonderful to see you again . oh , please , let 's not be that formal . john , honey , did you take your medication tonight ? john : see how well she takes care of me ? all right , i 'll be a good husband . i 'll go up and take my pills . gloria : good . so ... well , you certainly look lovely . new york must agree with you . colleen : it 's where i grew up . gloria : ah , yeah . and you also seem just a little bit distant . is there a problem i do n't know about ? colleen : you 're kevin 's mother . need i say more ? gloria : do n't say a word . just listen . it 's time that you and i had a little chat on that subject . [ scene_break ] ashley : why do you think i 'm keeping something from you ? victor : are you forgetting who you 're talking to ? i want to help you . ashley : i 'm just a mess . i 'm just a mess . victor : in other words , you 're determined to keep me in the dark about something that 's obviously bothering you terribly . ashley : no matter what i tell you , it 's not gon na make it go away . i 've been charged with murder . victor : okay . if you need my help , you know where to reach me , okay ? ashley : please , do n't take this personally . victor : how can i not take this personally ? sweetheart , i want to help you . and you wo n't let me . and i have to tell you , i sort of resent that . you have a nice day . [ scene_break ] paul : that 's crazy . what the hell was she thinking ? it does n't make any sense . ( sighs ) i do n't know . maybe the pressure was too much for her . i know she felt guilty about setting tom up with those drug charges . michael : that 's hardly a reason to put a noose around your own neck . paul : okay , so what about self - defense ? we can certainly prove that -- that tom was a threat to ashley and her family . michael : no , no , no , the guidelines for that kind of defense are very specific . i 'm not convinced that i can make them hold with ashley . paul : so what do you think your chances are of winning right now given the evidence that you have ? michael : well , it 's a toss - up . if i can convince the jury that tom was a bad guy who got what was coming to him , ashley walks . if the jury decides that tom did not pose a threat that night in the alley , ashley goes to prison and they throw away the key . paul : then we have our mandate , do n't we ? because i 'll tell you right now , i 'm not gon na stand here and watch ashley be sent to prison .

[ scene_break ] paul : well , ashley claims she overheard gloria on the phone talking to tom . that 's how she found his location . then she left the house to chase after him . michael : right , according to the phone records , the call happened when she said it did . paul : right , and evidently , somewhere along the line , she was able to get her hands on john 's gun . michael : but none of that explains what happened at the abbott 's after she left . paul : you know , you would think that gloria would be in a panic after that phone call with tom . i 'm surprised she did n't say anything to john . michael : mm - hmm . but according to her , at that point , she sent john out for groceries . paul : oh , come on , michael , groceries ? were there any groceries in the car ? michael : no . paul : were there any groceries stores in the vicinity of john 's accident ? could he have been en route ? michael : i do n't know . paul : okay , the 9 - 1 - 1 call reporting john 's accident came 15 minutes after tom was shot . michael : mm - hmm . paul : 30 minutes expired between the time tom made the phone call and the police arrived in the alley . michael : so it 's entirely possible that gloria could 've sent john out for groceries after talking to tom . paul : yes , it 's possible . but how likely is it ? michael : look , that 's what gloria told me , paul . paul : so it might be as simple as gloria wanting john out of the house in case tom shows up . i mean , all hell would 've broken loose . what she did n't know is that ashley had john 's gun . and when she left ... it was to confront tom . michael : well , that makes sense . paul : damn ! i still think we 're missing something here . i 'll tell you what -- first thing tomorrow morning , i 'm going back into that alley . maybe i can uncover something else . michael : good idea . paul : i 'll call you tomorrow . michael : who knows ? maybe what we 're looking for is closer than we think .

jack : phyllis poisoned you ? kelly : that 's right . phyllis : oh , nice try , honey . ps . you 're insane . kelly : do n't deny it , phyllis . you know it 's true . jack : okay , first of all , you have no right just walking into my home -- phyllis : our home . jack : our home without being invited . second of all , you have -- where do you get off throwing accusations like that at phyllis ? kelly : it 's what happened , jake . jack : i do n't believe you . kelly : jack . jack : you need to leave now . phyllis : you heard him , kelly . kelly : i was just released from memorial hospital . the doctor in the er who treated me said i was lucky to be alive . i almost died because of her . phyllis : oh , you are such a liar ! kelly : you want proof ? here . here are my release papers from the hospital dated today . i 'm telling you the truth , jake . [ knock on door ] cane : hey . joe : cane , come in . cane : thanks . joe : uh , look , i 've got to be somewhere , so if you do n't mind , we can make this short . cane : yeah , sure , sure . um , i found a , uh , a property for you to redevelop as an alternative to the warehouse district . joe : yeah , i bet you did . and let me guess -- you 're presenting me with this wonderful opportunity because , uh , the land is n't owned by victor newman . cane : if victor 's end of the deal falls through , i 'd -- i 'd be quite happy with that . joe : right , because if the deal does n't go through , victor does n't get the cash to shore up his company , ultimately forcing him to sell off his division of chancellor , where you and jill will be anxiously awaiting . cane : this is true . but setting aside what i personally stand to gain from this , i think it would be a good idea for your consortium to consider these options , because this community does not want crimson lights and the other mom - and - pop stores in that area to vanish . they just do n't want it . joe : deal 's in the 11th hour , cane . i 'm not restructuring it . besides , that warehouse district represents a piece of property that will give me what i want . avery : so maybe you think you can ignore that threatening phone call . dylan : who says i 'm ignoring it ? avery : so , you 're gon na do something on your own ? because that would be much worse . dylan : there 's no reason to get the police involved in this . avery : i 'm just trying -- i do n't want you to end up in the hospital again or worse . dylan , when i came in here and i saw you on the ground unconscious , my heart almost stopped . dylan : i promise not to put you through anything like that again . avery : this is n't a brick coming through the window now . people are threatening your life . dylan : yeah , and i 'm ready for them . if somebody tries something , i 've got backup now . jill : okay , there is still some insurance money left from the necklace . katherine left two bentleys in the garage i can sell . i can get an appraiser in for the antique furniture . colin : look , i was n't joking what i said before . now , there 's no need for you to go out and break the piggy bank or sell off parts of the old broad 's estate . i can come up with the money for you to buy chancellor from victor . jill : darling , it is a huge amount . colin : what if it is ? jill : i 'm just assuming you 're bluffing here . colin : i 'm good for every penny of it . jill : then it 's something dodgy . colin : [ chuckles ] please . jill : come on . you have n't told me where the money 's coming from . it 's millions of dollars , sweetie . colin : i saw an opportunity , and like any decent businessman , i took advantage of it . nobody got robbed . nobody got hurt . jill : yet . well , kurtz was n't acting alone . there are people behind him , you know . colin : kurtz is where he 's destined to be -- behind bars . but none of those people are involved . this is a legitimate businessman with no record , no ties to organized crime . trust me . jill : [ smacks table ] all right , colin . i trust you . colin : good . sit back and let me give you your heart 's desire . jill : [ chuckles ] i love you . how long will it take to get the money ? lily : what do you mean , you 're taking off ? neil : well , baby , i have something very important that i have to attend to . lily : what ? tonight ? neil : yeah , right this very minute . you know , i 'm headed to the spa to surprise my lovely wife . devon : oh , man . [ sighs ] hilary : i do n't want this night to end . devon : it does n't have to end . i , uh , i 'm not needed back at home , so i can stay with you for this whole getaway . hilary : that sounds like heaven . devon : i do n't know about you , but i 've worked up an appetite . how does , um , italian food sound ? hilary : hmm , perfect . devon : yeah ? hilary : and i 'm starving . you want me to call room service ? devon : no , no , i do n't , actually . why do n't , um , why do n't we go out somewhere together ? we 're far enough away from home . we do n't have to worry about anybody seeing us . hilary : seriously ? devon : i know the perfect spot , too . it 's close by . it 's this private , little place over on superior . we can have wine and hold hands across a candlelit table . hilary : that sounds perfect . devon : let 's have a night out on the town , you and me . how long you gon na take to get ready ? hilary : five minutes . devon : five minutes ? hilary : mm - hmm . devon : okay , go . [ clears throat ] avery : you bought a gun ? this just proves my point , dylan , that things are escalating too quickly . dylan : there 's nothing to be concerned about , okay ? first of all , it 's legal . i know about firearms . i know how to protect myself . if those thugs come back again , they might have guns . this time , i 'm gon na be ready . avery : and that 's supposed to reassure me ? why would i not be concerned about the scenario , dylan ? no , i do n't like this . i do n't like this at all . dylan : [ sighs ] what the hell . joe : look , i 'm not looking for trouble , all right ? just a coffee . avery : joe , you 're not welcome here . dylan has told you that . he does n't have to serve you . joe : well , then maybe we can call it a truce . dylan : not gon na happen . [ cell phone rings ] dylan : hello ? give it up already . keep pushing your luck , your business wo n't be the only thing that 'll get demolished . cane : i hear you 're planning on taking a trip all of a sudden . neil : yeah , it 's hilary 's last night at the spa , so my daughter said that she 'd give me a ride down there so i can join her . cane : is she expecting you ? lily : well , it would n't be a romantic surprise if she were . neil : [ chuckles ] lily : remember the romantic surprises we used to have ? cane : you know , neil , i do n't think it 's probably such a great idea . neil : really ? why -- why not ? hilary : where are you going ? devon : i have to go back home . hilary : why ? what happened ? devon : business emergency came up that i have to take care of . hilary : i do n't believe you . devon : i need you to believe me . and i promise i 'm gon na make this up to you . hilary : do n't we have enough secrets to keep already ? i do n't want any between the two of us . come on . i know something is going on . just tell me . devon : when you were in the shower , i got this text from colin . hilary : `` hide and go seek . my favorite game . let 's play , by all means `` ? devon : i 'm guessing he 's not big on being ignored . hilary : that snake . i knew this would happen . no matter what they agree to , blackmailers always come back for more . devon : well , i 'm gon na go and find out what he wants . hilary : you already know what he wants -- money . god , i ca n't keep doing this . cane almost found out about us . colin is trying to squeeze us . and lily is everywhere . devon : what are you saying ? do you want to end this ? hilary : want to ? god , no . i hate being apart from you . devon : and you know i feel the same about you . hilary : but if we go and break neil 's heart and he starts drinking again ... devon : that 's why the only option is i go and take care of colin . hilary : no . we both do . call him . devon : [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] colin : oh , excuse me . huh . there 's my money man . jill : ah . colin : i , uh , heard you were out of town on business . so nice of you to call me and get away from conducting your business . devon : what the hell do you want , colin ? colin : i assume neil 's lovely bride is with you . how are you two enjoying the spa ? hear it 's top - notch . hilary : how did you know that we -- devon : who told you that ? colin : not hard to figure it out . now , look , you get done with your mud baths and get back here with my money . hilary : okay , listen , that was a one - time payoff . it 's not happening again . devon : i told you that . colin : and i am telling you . i 'm at the club . and i 'm staring across the bar at hilary 's husband . you know , i think this news might just crush him . devon : colin , you and i had a deal ! colin : yeah , we had a deal . it expired . now it 's time for a new one . kelly : call the hospital if you do n't believe me , jake . i 'll give them permission to talk to you about my case . phyllis : she 's a case , all right . jack : how did this poisoning allegedly take place ? kelly : okay . i made the mistake of sitting down with phyllis today at the club , thinking that we could talk like civil adults . i ordered us tea . then i had to excuse myself from the table for a few minutes -- mistake number two . and that is when phyllis slipped the poison into my cup . phyllis : okay ! you 're crazy . kelly : am i ? because a few minutes after you left , i collapsed in front of witnesses ! thank god my brother ben was there or else i might not be here right now ! phyllis : oh . she 's making this up , jake . did your brother , the ex - doctor , help you fake these test results ? i think he 's pretty familiar with this kind of deception . kelly : there is nothing fake about what i am saying . she tried to kill me , jake ! phyllis : okay , you are a loony bitch ! jack : okay , okay , let 's all -- phyllis : no , she has just accused me of trying to kill her ! you think i should just stand here and shut my mouth ? ! kelly : well , since we all know that 's not going to happen and clearly you 're not gon na own up to what you did , here . jack : wait , what -- what is that ? kelly : this is what 's left of the tea that i drank in the club . if you think that i am making this up , if you think that this is not poisoned , you go ahead , honey ! you take a sip ! i dare you ! jack : no ! kelly : thank god , jake . you believe me . jack : i am not taking sides . i am not accusing anyone . phyllis : because it 's very obvious what is happening . you poisoned yourself to set me up . jack did n't want me to drink that stuff because you tainted it with your own two hands . is that not right , jake ? kelly : no , no , no . the poisoning was absolutely real . but what was in this cup was just plain tea . i challenged you to drink it to prove a point . phyllis : that you belong in a straitjacket . jack : if you think this tactic is winning points with me , you are sadly mistaken . kelly : tactics , jake ? i am taking the high road here ! phyllis : that is a laugh . kelly : you should be thanking me , phyllis . i had doctors , nurses , my own brother urging me to press charges . i could have gone to the police , but instead , i came here to make a personal appeal to you to stop the madness for jack 's sake ! trust me -- if i wanted revenge , they would be leading you out in handcuffs right now . cane : you know , neil , you 're talking about a long drive followed by a late night , and you have a big day tomorrow , you know ? lily : you do ? neil : i -- yeah , i actually do . um , it 's a meeting with a local business group about the warehouse project , so i ca n't miss that . lily : okay , so we 're not surprising hilary , then ? neil : no . thanks for offering to drive me , though , baby . i really appreciate that . but cane 's right . i should stay here . lily : all right . cane : yeah . lily : uh , well , in that case , i am gon na go check on one of the rooms . i 'll be right back . neil : okay . cane : that was a good cover story , man . well done . neil : no , it was not . it 's actually the truth . um , listen , you know as well as i do the biggest day of my life is tomorrow with that eye exam . i thought i could do both -- the warehouse project and that . cane : but you do n't want to be tired for the exam . you know what i 'm saying to you ? neil : i 've been thinking about telling hilary about the flashes of light that i 've been seeing , you know , and the fact that i might -- might have a chance of my eyesight coming back . cane : okay , all right , but listen , you know , if you want to stick to your original plan , do n't get hilary 's hopes up , you know , i would be more than happy to take you to your exam tomorrow . neil : i do n't want to disappoint my wife , that 's for sure . yeah . again , you 're right . i 'm gon na wait until my doctor gives me some definitive news before i say anything at all . cane , you 're a good man . i 'm gon na go home . i 'm gon na try to get a good night 's sleep . cane : okay , that 's a good idea , you know ? i 'll walk you out . colin : as it turns out , neil 's not alone . cane 's with him . lily 's flitting around here somewhere , too . i wonder how she 's gon na feel when she discovers that her brother 's been sleeping with daddy 's wife . hilary : how dare you pretend to care about other people 's feelings when all you care about is money ? colin : let 's make this easy for all concerned . be at chancellor park in an hour with the money . devon : as you pointed out , colin , i 'm out of town . colin : yeah , but you 're the man that can snap his fingers and find a helicopter . unless , of course , you want me to tell neil that you are cavorting around that swanky spa with his wife -- on his dime . save you the trouble of coming back here . ever . devon : how much do you want ? jill : if we liquidate all our investments and i sell what i can of katherine 's estate -- cane : we do n't even know if victor 's gon na sell chancellor . that is the problem here . lily : he could just be toying with you , jill . jill : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . cane : i still think our best option is to stop this land deal from going through . if victor loses this sale , he 's gon na be strapped for cash , and he 'll probably even lower the asking price . jill : well , hallelujah . finally see the light about this fiasco in the making , although i do n't know if there 's a way to thwart it that has n't been tried yet . dylan : your threats do n't scare me . avery : was that ... ? dylan : yes . joe : who was that ? dylan : somebody 's been calling me , threatening me . joe : well , i 'm sorry to hear that . at least you know it 's not me , being that i 'm standing right in front of both of you . avery : oh , please . you could have easily paid somebody to do it for you . joe : where might i find goons like that for hire ? dylan : i 'm sure victor knows plenty . this has his name all over it . joe : well , i hope he 's not resorting to this type of behavior . it 's not the type of business my investors and i partake in . avery : joe is behind that phone call . i ca n't believe you do n't see it . he 's playing us . dylan : no . i just played him . kelly : i sincerely hope that you wo n't ignore this , jake . something has to be done . i am worried about you . jack : do n't be . kelly : i know you had deep feelings for this woman at one point , but she is not the same person that she used to be . jack : how could you know that ? kelly : this is not t the woman you fell in love with , is it ? ! an attempted murderess ? phyllis : okay , show 's over . thank you for coming in and auditioning for the role of `` wacky woman makes baseless accusations . `` you nailed it . kelly : there 's nothing baseless about what happened . somebody put poison in my tea , and there were only two of us sitting at the table . phyllis : well , there could be a third possibility -- that someone else wanted to rid the world of you . i 'm sure that i 'm not the only one who wants you gone . kelly : so you admit it . you want me dead . phyllis : do n't put words in my mouth . jack : kelly , i 've already asked you to leave once . the second time , i wo n't be so polite . kelly : just be careful , jake . phyllis : that was fun . can i get you a drink ? perhaps some tea ? cane : we do n't even have the funds to buy chancellor , which drives me crazy 'cause i know we could do it a lot more justice than victor is . lily : [ sighs ] hey , would you mind checking on that room with me ? i could really use your input . cane : sure . let 's go . jill : i 'll see you later . cane : bye . jill : bye . ah . colin : hmm . jill : okay , so what did your money man say ? i assume that it 's `` no `` since you had quite the lengthy conversation there . colin : i wish you had a little more faith in me . now , look , this time around , i 'm gon na be that good hubby you always wanted me to be . jill : precious , as much as i love you , good has never been your major selling point . colin : well , i can see that there was that one time ... or two . jill : [ laughs ] colin : maybe a few more . but look , this time around , i 'm gon na come through . take it to the bank . jill : mm - hmm . cane : okay . there is no emergency , right ? lily : [ chuckles ] well , you , my love , needed a break , so i took matters into my own hands . you call that a kiss ? really ? cane : i 'm sorry . lily : what 's wrong ? is it chancellor ? something else ? what ? cane : you know i like to be in control , and this whole chancellor thing -- it just makes me feel powerless . i - i do n't know what to say . lily : well , then do n't . take charge with me . right now . tell me what to do . cane : unbutton your blouse . slow down . slow down . slow down . take it off . come here . kiss me . go to the bed . sit on the bed . joe : [ blows air ] you could n't have timed that phone call any better . mcavoy fall for it ? joe : yeah , big time . what we agreed on . you know what 's next . dylan : i mean , it 's obvious that joe was behind everything . the brick through the window , the robbery , the continued threats . avery : what gave him away ? dylan : his timing right now was way too convenient . he shows up right when i get the call so he looks innocent . avery : well , i 'm glad that you saw through that , and i think he 's planning something else . what are you gon na do now ? dylan : i 'm gon na handle this once and for all , and your ex is not gon na see me coming . avery : let paul help you , please . dylan : paul has to go through proper legal channels . avery : you do n't ? dylan : look , i understand why you 're concerned , but this dirtbag is after both of this , and this has gone way beyond business ! it does n't get much more personal , and i 'm gon na put an end to it tonight ! avery : no , you 're not . it 's too dangerous . dylan : avery , i love you , but this has to be done ! and i do n't want you to be any part of it . lily : ah , that was amazing . cane : amazing . lily : [ chuckles ] but next time , i get to be the boss . cane : you like being the boss ? lily : mm - hmm . cane : okay , you can be the boss . lily : okay . cane : okay . lily : so , you feeling better now ? did i distract you ? cane : yes . i stopped thinking about chancellor . and now i see it from another angle . lily : really ? cane : yeah . it made me realize no matter what happens with this redevelopment project , victor ca n't be cornered . lily : no , he ca n't . he is victor newman . so he always has a plan . cane : so we have to come up with a better plan . and i think i have one . colin : excellent . right on time . you got the money ? devon : colin . i thought you were a man who protected your family . colin : oh , i am . but what 's that got to do with this ? devon : it has to do with you and me because we are family . i 'm the godfather to your grandkids . they call my dad grandpa . all right ? so why do you want to be doing what you 're doing and hurting neil like this ? colin : [ chuckles ] look who 's talking . devon : do n't laugh at me . i 'm serious . because if you think they 're not gon na blame the messenger , drop this bomb and see where that gets you . you 'll never be allowed to set foot in neil 's or cane and lily 's house ever again . think of all the holidays you 're gon na miss with your grandkids because of your greed . colin : if you think that this is going to deter me -- devon : all right , fine . colin , you have pulled some pretty unforgivable crap in your day , and yet you 've been welcomed back into the fold . okay ? you have your grandkids , you have your family , and you have your wife . you have all the things a man needs to be happy , and that 's all i want . i want to be able to be with the person that makes me happiest , the woman that i love . hilary and i have enough obstacles to get through without you pulling this , so i 'm asking you if you can find it within yourself to drop this and leave us in peace . [ jazz music playing ] neil : `` with ... joy ... [ door opens ] neil : ... and wonder . the ... most ... `` hilary : neil , i 'm home ! neil : hey ! hey , honey . hilary : hey . neil : i - i did n't expect you to be back so soon . i expected you tomorrow . why -- why you home so early ? [ music stops ] neil : did you miss me ? hilary : yeah , of course i did . neil : why do n't you come over here ? sit by me . talk to me . [ sighs ] hilary : okay . neil : oh , it 's good to have you back . so good . yeah . you 're not gon na -- you 're not gon na believe this , but i actually was gon na come to the spa and surprise you . hilary : [ chuckles ] surprise me again ? you really need to stop surprising me , neil . i know how much you love me , okay ? neil : why do n't i just show you how much i love you ? hilary . hilary : hmm . neil : let 's take this in the bedroom . can we ? jack : is that supposed to be funny ? offering me tea ? if so , i 'm not amused . phyllis : well , neither am i . but , jake , as much as i detest that woman , do you think i 'm actually capable or murder ? jack : whatever happened , i do n't think it 's intentional . i do n't think it 's your fault . phyllis : do you actually think i accidentally poisoned her ? jack : i spoke to dr. cutler today . phyllis : [ sighs ] jack : i pressed him for answers . he admitted that the treatment that you endured sometimes has negative consequences down the road . he has had other patients who have had distinct personality changes , questionable decision- making . phyllis : this is n't about other patients . this is about me . jack : yes . you . who just stood in front of kelly and said you wanted her gone . phyllis : do you really think i went to the club in some drug - induced , altered state and tried to poison -- i mean , are you serious right now , jake ? what the hell ! you think that 's my new motive ? the devil made me do it ? jack : listen , red , i -- phyllis : she is a desperate woman ! she is deranged ! and you are standing here pointing fingers at me ! you do n't think i 'm the same woman you proposed to ! now i am some freaky psycho killer ! and you are taking the word of some lunatic who wants to break us up over mine ! aah ! [ breathing heavily ] lily : kelly ? kelly : hi . lily : hey . look at you . what happened ? kelly : not what . who . phyllis . lily : oh , god . what 'd she do this time ? kelly : she put poison in my tea and tried to kill me . lily : what ? kelly : i spent most of the day in the emergency room . lily : oh , my god . are you okay ? kelly : i 'm a little shaken up , but i 'll survive . lily : you know what ? she has gone way too far this time . i hope she 's arrested and finally held accountable for once in her life . kelly : that 's not gon na happen , not if i can help it . lily , i 'm not gon na go to the police . lily : why not ? kelly : i just think it 'll be better this way . you know , cleaner . if jake handles it privately . lily : wait , are you thinking that you 're gon na get him back after this ? kelly : [ sighs ] hilary : hmm . um ... neil . neil : mm - hmm . hilary : honey , um , i 'm sorry . neil : what ? what 's wrong ? hilary : you know , i 'm just a little exhausted . neil : oh , yeah , you 're exhausted from all those pedicures and facials . i know . i know how that can wear you out . hilary : you know how i am with a strange bed . i - i did n't sleep at all last night , and ... neil : honey , stop . stop explaining . i 'm just teasing you , all right ? baby , i just want to be here with you . i just want to hold you , you know ? i just want to be close to you . it means something that you missed me so much . and honestly , baby , i missed you even more . colin : what you fail to understand here , devon , is that i 'm on your side -- yours and hilary 's . devon : how do you figure that ? colin : i kept your secret . i mean , there are others out there who might have said , you know , `` well , tell neil regardless of how painful that truth might be . `` devon : you 've got to be a piece of work to think that blackmail is the right thing to do . colin : let 's take a poll . i mean , we 've got that , all right ? and then , well , we 've got you cavorting around various luxury hotels with blind daddy 's wife . devon : colin , do n't you think i hate being in the position i 'm in ? i would gladly give away all my money if i thought neil would be protected . colin : give it all away ? well , i like the sound of that . devon : you 're ridiculous . colin : and you 're a hypocrite . look , it 's not like i 'm asking for all of it . it 's just like a small portion in order to protect this secret about , well , the father you purport to love . devon : i do love my father . colin : well , you got a funny way of showing it , kid . you 're buying a license in order to be with hilary . devon : what the hell does that mean ? colin : well , it means that you give me the money , and then you look at yourself in the mirror , and you say , `` hey , i 'm not such a bad guy compared to what that son of a bitch colin has done . `` and then all the guilt , well , it just -- it just falls away , and you can do whatever you like . i mean , how does that sound ? devon : it sounds like blackmail . colin : whatever . i still want the money .

[ door opens ] paul : all right , i do n't know if this is gon na help or not . christine : hey . any word ? paul : no , not since the last call . christine : nothing ? i -- paul : dylan said he would call as soon as he made contact with fisk . kevin : that was over 12 hours ago . at this point , i think it 's reasonable to assume that something might have gone wrong . christine : not necessarily . paul : you know , i 'm worried . what if dylan 's cover is blown ? phyllis : i guess you want to get home to that power protein smoothie mrs. martinez is whipping up for you , huh ? jack : my favorite part of the day . you 're in my way . phyllis : well , we can fix that if you just answered my question . jack : could we just stop this game ? phyllis : when you stop being so evasive . that little tête - à - tête with gloria , was that more meaningful than i thought ? jack : i 'll use the other exit . you and i are no longer married . you no longer work for me . i do n't have to clear my movement with you . what i do is none of your business . phyllis : it 's my business if you 're making a play for fenmore 's and using gloria to get the information . jack : gee , i thought you had officially moved on from me and my company . phyllis : oh , i have . jack : then what was this thing with ravi ? i thought you 'd given up your fight to keep us together . phyllis : oh , i 've absolutely given up on that . jack : then what was this with ravi ? phyllis : that was not about us . that was about business . jack : if you say so . phyllis : hey . that is so slick , the way you criticize me so you can avoid answering the question . why are you being so evasive ? what is going on with you and gloria ? jack : okay , fine . we were on a date . there . happy ? phyllis : [ scoffs ] you and gloria ? [ laughs ] okay , all right . sure you were . gloria : hello , lover . ca n't believe you let this one get away . i mean , he 's a real tiger . rawr ! hmm ? lauren : i do n't understand what changed your mind . did you have second thoughts about the expansion plan ? craig : not at all . you 've laid out an extremely solid business plan . i have no doubts fenmore 's resurgence will be immensely successful and make you and whomever you partner with a great deal of money . lauren : well , now i 'm -- i 'm more confused than -- than ever . i mean , you 're enthusiastic about my proposal . you think it 's going to pay off . and yet you walk away ? craig : it all comes down to timing . lauren : between today and yesterday ? craig : actually , yes . after our meeting , i became aware of another investment opportunity . lauren : from one of my competitors ? craig : all i can ethically tell you at this point is that i had to act fast or risk losing out . lauren : why do n't you do both ? craig : i would if i could . but as of this morning , all my money is now tied up in that other venture . and i 'm sure you 'll find another financial partner quickly . lauren : any recommendations ? i 'm kidding . i 'm kidding . i wish you well , craig . craig : you , too , lauren . devon : so mariah was so busy apologizing for causing the accident that she did n't realize she was filling in all the blanks for me . and the more she kept on talking , the more i remembered actually what happened . neil : i 'm sorry you had to find out that way . devon : yeah , i 'm sorry , too , dad . neil : you 're angry at me . devon : you and lily and cane . you guys all could have told me when i woke up . neil : i understand , but you had just undergone severe trauma . devon : yeah , i also had a wife who publicly humiliated one of my employees and then lied to me about it . neil : why do n't you bring it down a little bit ? devon : i just found out that my dad and my sister , the people who are supposed to have my back , kept something like this from me . neil : hey . hey , hey . what is it ? devon : it 's just a headache . neil : when was the last time you took your meds ? devon : i 'm off the meds . it 's just a headache , though . it 's fine . neil : yeah , you were just hospitalized . did you get any sleep last night ? devon : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . neil : i 'll bet you have n't eaten , either . sit down . sit down . i 'm gon na get you something for your headache , all right ? hey , kid . here . here you go . here . all right , we 're gon na have to get some food in you , too . you 're still recuperating . devon : yeah . stitch said that i 'm -- neil : when stitch signed off on you to go back to work , he was probably counting on that you would n't push yourself into a relapse , all right ? and as far as telling you all about that fight with hilary , the doctors warned us not to put any additional stress on you , that you needed to take it slow , that you would remember things or should remember things on your own time . devon : yeah , that 's the same story that i got from hilary , too . and i understand why she 'd want to hide the truth . but i think that my own family should do right by me . neil : yeah . well , we did what we thought was best considering your situation . devon : is that right ? neil : yeah . devon : you thought it was the best thing for me to go home and start playing house with a woman who was doing nothing but lying to me ? neil : son ... i know exactly how you 're feeling . probably better than anyone . are you forgetting ? i was married to her , too . she lied to me all the time . devon : no , i did n't forget at all . and i lied to you , too . so was this payback ? neil : keeping silent was me loving you . that was me trying to take care of you . lily : why do you want my help with devon ? you think i 'm gon na say anything in your favor ? hilary : of course not . but do you remember what the doctor said ? that when devon 's memory comes back , it could be a terrible shock . well , i think that it was . lily : wait , what happened ? did he have a setback ? is he okay ? tell me what you did ! hilary : i did n't do anything , okay ? devon -- he remembered on his own , and he blew up . he was so furious . i tried to calm him down . i really did , lily , but he just -- lily : so where -- where is he ? where is he ? hilary : he 's at home , i - i - i guess . lily : you guess ? hilary : well , we got into a fight last night . when he asked me to -- lily : wait , wait . this happened last night and you 're just now telling me ? ! hilary : because i am still worried about him , okay ? [ sighs ] you need to go . you -- paul : well , how hard is it ? i need it by today ! christine : the deal with fisk may not have gone down as planned . maybe the shipment was delayed . paul : [ sighs ] he would have let us know . he would have called back . christine : if he was alone . paul , you have to remember this is his first undercover assignment , which means he 's gon na be even more cautious , and there are always unexpected variables . you know that . paul : yeah , i do . christine : tell me . what did dylan say when you spoke to him ? paul : [ sighs ] he was confident . he was sure he was able to find the location of the shipment . christine : so no issues with fisk or his second in command being suspicious ? paul : no . he said he was able to pass every test they threw at him . so , i mean , everything was a go . he made contact , and they were setting up the meeting with fisk . christine : okay , you ca n't get a better report than that . now we just have to trust that dylan is taking the necessary steps to be careful . paul : maybe if it were still last night , i 'd agree with you . but not now . it 's been too long . i mean , what ? no call , no nothing ? kevin : chief ! paul : no update ? what ? kevin : it 's an audio file from dylan . dylan : so , uh , let 's get to the pier and finish this . christine : he 's clueing us in . kevin : yeah , but which pier ? dylan : hey , i 'm gon na catch up with you after i get the shipment , all right ? paul : come on , dylan . give us some details . fisk : bring the car around . kevin : this is worthless . fisk : take our friend derek to pier 13 . christine : that 's it . fisk : shipment 's on the esmeralda . registered in panama . kevin : we got him . paul : okay . i 'll call miami pd . christine : no , wait . hold off on that . paul : why ? we got to get him out of there . christine : i need to secure a federal judge and get a warrant . kevin : you 're still worried . paul : when was that file uploaded ? kevin : uh , last night . paul : kevin , this does n't make any sense . he has n't been able to reach out to us by now ? kevin : well , what if it 's like christine said ? maybe he got the shipment but has n't had a chance to contact us without alerting the bad guys . paul : i would like to believe that , but i 'm not gon na take anything for granted . find out where he was when he sent that file . and i need you to contact all the authorities . we need to get dylan out of there . the feds , the police -- anybody you can think of -- the fire department , if we have to . we have to get him out of there before it 's too late . kevin : okay . [ sighs ] gloria : hmmm ! looks like you had a good workout . all pumped up and strong . jack : anything for you , babe . gloria : yep . phyllis : [ laughs ] nope . there is no way that i believe for one second that you 're sleeping with gloria . you loathe her . and you can not stand him . gloria : people change . jack : yes , they do . after awhile , i did n't even recognize you . gloria : so we 're dating ? jack : she saw us together . what was i supposed to say ? gloria : i just find it interesting . that 's what you thought of . or that you think of me in that way . jack : hold on , hold on . gloria : [ laughs ] jack : i do n't . i was merely trying to preserve my shot at getting fenmore 's . gloria : i know , i know . whatever you say . babe . got to go to yoga . jack : hey . everything all right ? is there a problem with devon ? hilary : he remembers everything that happened . new year 's , the fight , why he got into that accident . [ sighs deeply ] jack : you told him ? hilary : um , actually , no . he found out before i could . and now he hates me . you were right , jack . i should have told him the truth . [ sighs ] and i tried . i really did . but he said he did n't want to know . so i kept quiet . and i made everything worse . as usual . lily : hilary told me what happened . hi . devon : hilary told you ? lily : yeah , do n't worry about that . but how are you holding up ? devon : uh , physically i 'm fine . neil even brought me some breakfast . lily : how are you otherwise ? devon : how do you think i 'm doing ? i kicked my wife out yesterday . i was tired of listening to her lies . and before you remind me how many times you told me this is the way my marriage would end , i 'd like it if you did n't do that . lily : no , i 'm not gon na do that . you 're hurting . and that 's what i care about . neil : yeah . that 's why we 're here , son . we just want to help you , that 's all . devon : i do appreciate that , but this is something that i 'm gon na have to get through on my own . we were talking about starting a family and planning our future . it just makes me think how did i even get to this place ? neil : and , uh , have you come up with an answer ? devon : i have , actually . and it 's -- we just -- we started off wrong , you know ? she was your wife . we had an affair behind your back . lily : no , look , let 's not dwell on that . devon : that 's the truth . we hurt a lot of people when we did that , and it was all justified because she was the one . i thought she was the one . no matter how many times she showed me that the most important person to hilary was hilary , i stayed with her . and you know something ? she swears that she loves me . and maybe she believes that . but if that is the case , i just fail to understand how a person can put their own self - interest above everything and everybody else so damn often . i gave her so many second chances . i lost count . i do n't have to tell you guys . [ sighs ] i just never thought that being married to the love of my life would make me less and not happy . what happened on new year 's eve , me letting anger take over , driving like a crazy person , not thinking about anybody else on the road , people 's lives i could have been putting in danger , that 's not who i am . i do n't do stuff like that . that 's not me . that 's me with hilary . my relationship with her has been destroying this family and me since the beginning . i - i wake up , i look in the mirror , i do n't even like the person i 've become . i - i should n't feel like that . that 's not okay . this has to end . lily : you 're making the right decision , devon . this is a good thing . right , dad ? neil : i 'm not so sure about that . devon : you 're not sure , knowing what hilary 's done ? neil : son , i 'm just thinking about you . you know , you 're still healing . you 've been through a tremendous shock . you know , it 's a lot to absorb . devon : so you 're questioning whether i know what i want and how i feel ? neil : all i 'm saying is that i think you should give it some time before , you know , you make a final decision . you got to wait until you 're 100 % . that 's all . lily : devon -- [ chuckles ] devon has given it time . we all have . neil : we should go . lily : dad ? neil : no , what did i just say ? why do n't we give this man some time to think about things in private , okay ? devon : thanks for coming by , guys . lily : yeah . devon : love you . lily : love you . neil : bye , man . devon : thanks . hilary : i was gon na be completely honest about everything that happened with mariah , about our fight on new year 's . jack : and what stopped you ? hilary : devon , actually . he insisted that none of that mattered , that we needed to focus on our future . he was -- he was just so happy to be alive and to be with me . jack : and you did n't want to ruin that . hilary : i did n't want to lose him . seeing him in that hospital bed , jack -- jack : i know . i know . [ sighs ] hilary : but when i took him home ... things were better . they were better than they had ever been . we were just ... grateful . we were so grateful . and i started -- i started clinging to the hope that even if devon remembered , it would n't matter . we would survive . jack : you still might . hilary : [ sniffles ] you know , he wanted to have a baby . he wanted to start right away . and surprise . i wanted one , too . you ca n't miss something that you never knew that you really wanted , right ? now i 've lost devon and i 've ... i 've lost everything . phyllis : i could use one of those . lauren : who ruined your day ? phyllis : your mother - in - law . lauren : yes . yes , she can do that . what 'd she do this time ? phyllis : my ex - husband . or so they 'd like me to believe . lauren : oh , no . jack and gloria ? no . no ! no . kevin : hey , chief , i was able to trace the ping from dylan 's audio . it came from a warehouse district in south miami . paul : okay , give me the address and i 'll alert the locals . [ door opens , closes ] christine : i got a judge to issue a warrant . i 've alerted the feds down there . they 're gon na bring fisk in . where 's paul ? kevin : he 's in his office calling miami pd . christine : what ? i told him to wait . kevin : can you blame him for being worried ? if the shipment was where fisk said it was in the audio , dylan should have taken delivery and been in contact by now . paul : it 's done . the locals are following kevin 's lead from his cell phone signal . christine : i really wish you would n't have done that . you may have just put dylan 's life in even more danger . phyllis : there is absolutely no way jack would ever be with that woman . you should have seen them . the two of them were all over each other like a rash . lauren : ugh . glad i was spared that visual . phyllis : yeah , you know , and he was making such a show that he was moving on with his life . i do n't know why i was so surprised that gloria was velcroed to him after what michael told me . lauren : right . he thinks she 's on the hunt for husband number ... i ca n't even remember what number we 're up to . phyllis : oh , believe me , she wants to get her manicured claws back into that abbott fortune . lauren : hmm . and why does this bother you so much ? phyllis : that is a question what has driven me to drink here today . lauren : really ? finding any truth in the bloody mary ? phyllis : it 's not jealousy . i ... i am sad . i 'm sad . when i married him , he was a wonderful guy . and what billy and i did , it changed him , and i hate that . but if he found a good and nice woman , i do n't think that would bother me because i want him happy . i just want him happy , even if he 's not in my life . lauren : about that ... there 's a chance he may not be . phyllis : oh , no , there is absolutely no chance . lauren : unless you have to work for him again . phyllis : nope . lauren : yep . craig decided to pass . phyllis : what are you talking about ? i thought it was a done deal . lauren : yeah . so did i . and then he just told me that he took another opportunity , which means we need another investor . phyllis : the only viable prospect on the table now is jack . lauren : i 'm out of options . you know , if we 're gon na keep going on this plan and we are gon na launch this new platform on time ... [ sighs ] ... we need a major infusion of capital . phyllis : okay , i hear you . talk to me about all the reasons you did n't want to turn to jack in the first place . lauren : yeah . well , i still have concerns . but under the circumstances , i owe it to my employees to at least hear him out . phyllis : i do n't like the idea of turning to jack . but this is your company we 're trying to save , and i want you to know i am standing right behind you . lauren : thank you . okay . you know what ? he talked a good game before . and let 's just see if he can make me an offer i can live with . okay . christine : the deal went down last night . dylan informed us as it was happening . you have to let him ride this out . paul : you know , i am done taking chances with this . fisk is a killer , and he wo n't hesitate to kill my son . christine : yes , and we will prosecute and convict him with dylan 's help . paul : chris , you have the evidence you need . i need to make sure dylan 's safe . christine : [ scoffs ] you 've got to wait , paul . paul : for what ? ! christine : due process . if the miami cops go in there without a warrant , everything that dylan has worked for will be worthless ! you ca n't do this ! you ca n't undermine him ! paul : you know , i have done everything i can to follow your lead . but i ca n't do this anymore . i - i ... i have done everything to get the all - important conviction ! christine : and this is important ! dylan has sacrificed everything ! paul : well , he 's not gon na sacrifice anymore ! i am the chief of police and dylan 's father ! and i 'm shutting the whole operation down ! christine : [ sighs ] [ indistinct conversation ] lauren : craig ? what are you doing here ? craig : hi , lauren . phyllis summers , craig steele . your plan for boosting fenmore 's web presence is extremely impressive . phyllis : thank you . lauren : i 'm confused . craig : i told you i had another opportunity . lauren : right . that you could n't disclose for ethical reasons . craig : well , but since we 've run into each other here at jabot , i guess the secret 's out . phyllis : so your irresistible venture is with jack ? craig : it was too good to pass up . if you 're here to make your own deal , i hope it works out . jack 's a good guy . ladies . lauren : [ sighs ] is that what you 've been doing ? stealing my backers ? ! jack : hello , lauren . phyllis . coffee ? lauren : i have been killing myself for weeks trying to get investors , and all the time you 're going behind my back ? ! jack : offering them opportunities . lauren : so you would be the only option left to me . wow , jack . that 's despicable ! jack : that 's determination , lauren . and proof of just how much i want to be in business with you . lily : why would you do that ? why would you try to talk devon out of ending things with hilary ? neil : that 's not what i was doing . lily : yes , it was . i was there . i heard you . he 's finally ready to be done with her , and then you had to encourage him to keep her in his life . neil : hey , hey , hey . because ending that marriage is not so simple . devon : there 's nothing more important to me in this world than being a good husband to you and to being a man who 's worthy of your faith . i promise to comfort you , to support you , and to make sure you know just how much i cherish you every single day that we are together . i pledge my love to you , hilary , for always , in all ways . [ doorbell rings ] lauren : you are a devious man , jack . but to have the temerity to frame your ruthless tactics as flattery ? ! what you did is sabotage ! jack : lauren , if your other investors were really interested in committing to fenmore 's , they would not have been so easily dissuaded , would they ? lauren : well , that 's just a very convenient rationalization . jack : more than any other partner you have been courting , i want to see this deal happen . phyllis : why ? jack : this is between lauren and me . phyllis : why do n't you tell lauren what you 're really doing ? jack : you 're making this adversarial when it need n't be . phyllis : yeah , well , my friend thinks what you 're trying to do is take over her business , and i know you well enough to think , to hope , there is more to it . jack : if i have been a bit heavy - handed , if i have given you the wrong impression , i genuinely , truly apologize . what i want , what i 'm truly after , is a collaboration between us . lauren : [ scoffs ] meaning you would be in charge . jack : no , i have no interest in running you out . in fact , this deal does not work unless you continue to run fenmore . but somebody has to jump in and save your company or it 's going to collapse . lauren : i am not gon na let that happen . jack : you ca n't stop that by yourself . lauren , you are smart , you are driven , and you are determined to not only save your family company but to turn fenmore 's into something even bigger . that determination is something we have in common . no matter what the price . lauren : but that 's where we differ . losing a loyal employee is too high a price . phyllis : i understand how important this is to you . if it comes down to jack or me ... lauren : phyllis , i 'm not -- jack : i have some idea of what phyllis is working on . if she can deliver -- phyllis : i always deliver . jack : if she can deliver , what she is working on , this platform , not only complements but enhances jabotgo . that is a win - win . why would i balk at that ? look , you get the funding you need to keep fenmore 's thriving . i get to expand jabot beyond anything my father ever dreamed . what do you say ? we have a deal ? [ cell phone rings ] paul : kevin ? kevin : no change that i can see . but maybe inside ? paul : yeah , this is chief williams . anything else ? i understand . christine : what did they say ? paul : they searched the location . dylan was n't there . kevin : wait . but he had been , right ? dylan would have found a way to leave us a clue that he 'd been in that warehouse last night . christine : paul ? paul : [ sighs ] there were signs of a struggle . and bullet casings and traces of blood . oh , god , chris . jack : lauren , we went over all of this when we discussed the terms on the michigan facility . you 're stalling , inquiring about minor issues when you know this is the best offer you 're gon na get for fenmore 's . lauren : all i know is what you 've told me . jack : and my word is n't enough ? lauren : you put everything that we discussed in writing , and then i 'll give you my decision . jack : you still do n't trust me . lauren : [ scoffs ] given the way you maneuvered me into this position , honestly , do you blame me ? jack : all the terms , everything we agreed to in writing . you will have it . but it is merely a formality . you know what you need to do . lauren : i 'm gon na do what 's best for my company . christine : i filled in the fbi -- what are you doing ? paul : i 'm going to miami . christine : you ca n't -- you ca n't jeopardize this . paul : you know , chris , right now i do n't give a damn about nailing fisk . the only thing i care about is finding my son . christine : just think about this . the miami feds will get us answers quicker than anybody . paul : well , then fine . when they do , they can call me . christine : no , paul , just wait an hour ! they 'll have arrested fisk by then ! paul : i 'm not gon na be a thousand miles away when my son could be needing me ! [ cell phone rings ] kevin : that 's the secure line . paul : are you there ? derek ? can you hear me ? derek ? trace that location . christine : be careful . good luck . paul : i 'm gon na find my son . lily : i thought we were on the same page . neil : well , we are . i agree that a clean break from hilary is the healthiest thing for devon . lily : then why did n't you tell him that ? neil : because devon is not in the right frame of mind to deal with it , you know ? he 's still recuperating . lily : him making up with hilary even temporarily will not help him recover faster . neil : you know , if that man ends his marriage now , i promise you he 's gon na question that decision later . and what 's gon na happen ? he 's gon na blame his injury , or worse yet , he 's gon na blame us . no , no , no , no , no . he needs to take time to decide what he wants . otherwise he 's gon na have a lot of doubts , and that 's gon na send him right back to hilary . devon : all right , now that you 've seen for yourself that i 'm okay , you can go . next time , just ask one of my family members to fill you in . hilary : there 's another reason why i needed to see you . devon : and what 's that ? you gon na make some nice speech and change everything between us ? hilary : i 'm not here to beg for your forgiveness or make excuses , okay ? i know that there 's no excuse for what i did . i broke your trust . i destroyed our marriage . and i just do n't want to hurt you anymore , devon . devon : cool . leave . hilary : well , i also wanted to let you know that i am not gon na fight you on the divorce . i think that it 's the kindest thing that i can do . i love you , devon . enough to let you go . [ next_on ] lily : i 'm getting the feeling that you 're not happy about me modeling again . chelsea : couples have trouble all the time . i 'm sure it can be fixed . hilary : yeah , well , not this time . scars are permanent . victoria : reed ! what is going on ?

[ giggles ] billy : you 're mia , right ? mia : you remembered me . billy : well , you were kind of unforgettable at the jabot launch . mia : well , it 's better to make a splash than no impression at all . billy : [ chuckles ] that 's right , go big or go home . so , what 's the precious cargo ? mia : my wedding dress from miami . it still fits , thank god . rey and i are renewing our wedding vows today . billy : just reminding everyone you 're off the market ? mia : technically . but the ceremony 's not for a few more hours , if you want to sweep me off my feet . billy : your husband carries a gun . mia : [ laughs ] [ door closes ] ana : oh ! devon : hey . ana : what are you doing here ? you have a meeting at the athletic club in a little while . devon : i know , i just swung by to pick up some marketing materials i left behind . ana : aww , you could have called . i would have brought it to the office . devon : that 's okay . what are you working on ? ana : oh , just going over your schedule . devon : nice , can i take a look at it ? ana : what do you need to know ? i 've got it all up here . back - to - back meetings with gcac , then returning phone calls here this afternoon , then recording session tonight . your schedule 's on your tablet , too . devon : okay . thank you . ana : i 've got to drop off some contracts with the lawyers . meet you at the club later ? devon : sure , yeah . hey , speaking of contracts , um , did your songwriter friend get his buyout ? because i know he was anxious for it . ana : oh , he did . thank you . devon : good . and there 's gon na be a lot of paperwork coming in pretty soon regarding fen 's song , and we 're gon na have to put something down on the documents for his name . so , does he go by something , or want us to use something special ? ana : like a stage name ? devon : yeah . ana : he does . he goes by reza . reza rec . devon : reza rec ? ana : mm - hmm . devon : that 's pretty clever . it 's a little flashy for somebody that wants to remain anonymous , though . ana : i mean , does n't every kid who sings or writes music think about what their stage name would be ? in fact , i seem to recall you telling a story about a fifth grade talent show where you performed as , uh ... devon : do n't do that . do n't do that . ana : luther devondross ? devon : okay . do n't you have somewhere to be ? ana : i do . [ giggles ] devon : yeah . ana : see you later . devon : see ya . victoria : how can i make this more clear ? i do n't want to talk to you . cane : okay , then listen , because i have something i have to say to you . victoria : fine . what is so important that you had to barge in here to get off your chest ? cane : well , it 's probably not gon na come as a shock , but ... it 's about billy . phyllis : hey . what are the chances of two very important people sneaking away for lunch today ? i 'm talking about us . nick : yeah , i 'd love to , but i have a whole lot of meetings here at dark horse today . phyllis : all right . i 'll have to wait to kiss that beautiful face when i get home tonight . nick : i look forward to that . call me on your way home . phyllis : okay . nikki : is this really the most ideal place to talk ? nick : mother , you are simply having a bite with your son . nikki : [ sighs ] and talking about covering up a crime . nick : look , we said we need to keep up our normal routines . lunch is very normal . just keep your voice low . now , i do n't mean to stress you out , but i really think we need to dig deeper into that night with what happened to j.t . so we can figure out who is trying to set up dad . now , whoever it is , they have to know what you and victoria did . nikki : and also have a vendetta against your father . nick : yeah , it 's a combination . it does n't leave us a lot of suspects . additional sponsorship cane : after , uh , billy caught us , he walked out of here and he got straight on the jabot jet , and he went to lakewood to see lily . victoria : he did n't tell her ... cane : yeah , he did . victoria : oh , my god . cane : i wanted to man up for my mistake , you know , but he did n't want to give me the chance , so he took the jet so he could beat me there . i just -- i ca n't begin to imagine how this is gon na destroy lily , you know , when he heard this from her . victoria : he had no right to do that . [ sighs ] but if we 're being honest , he was just the messenger . you and i are to blame . mia : a vow renewal just made sense , you know ? i thought , i love weddings , and why should you only get to have just one ? billy : well , congratulations on being married long enough to have a renewal . mia : [ chuckles ] billy : you 'll have to tell me what that 's like . mia : oh , if a woman ca n't make it work out with you , there must be something seriously wrong with her . [ giggles ] [ thud ] sharon : quite the deep conversation you two must having over here . billy : actually , we 're talking about marriage , so i am happy to move on . no offense , of course . mia : oh , no offense taken . not everyone 's in the same place as rey and i are . when people are unhappy in their own lives , sometimes it can be hard to be happy for anyone else . you did get the invitation notice that the renewal is this afternoon , right ? sharon : yes . that 's pretty last - minute . mia : well , i figured now that i have my dress , why wait ? i completely understand if you ca n't make it . sharon : oh , no , no , i 'll be there . i would n't miss it for the world . mia : mm . arturo : [ exhales sharply ] i do n't know what to say , man . rey : how about `` yes ? `` arturo : [ sighs ] rey : uh , do n't leave a brother hanging . this is starting to feel like an actual proposal , bro . arturo : [ laughs ] yes . yes . i - i 'm sorry . yes . yes , of course . rey : that 's -- arturo : i 'm honored , bro . rey : what a relief because you were my first and only option . mia has it in her head that she wants the ceremony to happen today , and you know when she has her mind set on something , it 's really hard to tell her no . arturo : [ exhales sharply ] rey , um , you know , i want you to know how happy i am for you , and mia , you know , and you asking me to do this , it -- it means a lot . rey : i feel like we turned a corner the other day , you know , you and i are being more honest with each other . more honest than we have been in a long time . so this is n't just a new start with mia , but for us , too . but here 's the bad news -- you and i need to rent tuxes . arturo : have n't done that since prom . rey : [ chuckles ] yeah , and i am not talking about ruffled shirts and baby blue cummerbunds , bro . arturo : you said i looked good . rey : yeah , no , i lied . arturo : [ laughs ] where 's the ceremony gon na be at ? rey : i do n't know ! i told her we could do it here , but she has it in her head that she wants too something bigger and more grand . arturo : oh , really ? mm , does n't sound like her at all . rey : yeah , she 's probably on the phone right now with the vatican . arturo : which means i probably have to start prepping my best man speech . rey : just keep it clean , nothing embarrassing . arturo : come on , man . do you know how many unbelievable stories i have ? rey rosales : the teenage years . rey : [ chuckles ] arturo : oh , my god , bro , the time you got caught with vanessa torres half- naked in the church pews by father juan right before the mass . rey : that is not even funny . arturo : people do n't know what a stud you were back in the day , man . girls just could n't get enough of that strong , silent thing . [ chuckles ] it was pretty cool to be your little brother back in the day . might not have shown it , but ... no one looked up to you more than i did . still do . [ chuckles ] rey : i should probably start writing my vows . arturo : you know what you 're gon na say to her ? rey : yeah , with mia , it 's -- it 's easy . arturo : nice . you know , i have n't seen you this happy in i do n't know how long , but i 'm glad . you deserve it . mia : yes , he does . we both do . nick : look , i hate making you relive the night we found the poker , but things are n't adding up . nikki : in what way ? nick : after what you and victoria did , for someone to use that to frame dad could not have been easy . it had to be somebody who knew a lot about what went down that night . and for them to be able to arrange the evidence so it fit perfectly , otherwise , it could all fall apart . nikki : well , it seems to be working so far , if the police believe that the shirt and the gun that they found in the stables are enough to charge him for it . nick : well , we 're gon na make them see their mistake . nikki : i 'm so glad you 're back in his corner , where you belong . nick : look , even if we clear dad 's name , it does n't mean it 's the end of our problems . it could lead the police right to you . nikki : i 'm not worried about that . nick : well , mom , i am . but we will deal with that if it happens . right now , we just need to figure out who 's trying to take down dad . we ca n't rule anyone out . victoria : if it makes you feel any better , there 's a lot of things i would have done differently over the last year . cane : uh , sorry , but it doesn't . victoria : [ sighs ] well , it would have been a lot easier if we had just kept this between us . but nothing seems to be easy these days . cane : yeah . look , i do n't know how we even got here . i mean , i do n't even like you . victoria : like me . cane : [ chuckles ] no offense , but yeah . victoria : same . you 're awful . cane : yeah , i know . so , um ... why is this happening ? victoria : i do n't know . we 're frustrated with our lives , i guess . it was like a big bang when we came together . cane : yeah , it was physical , right ? i mean , it was n't sexual . i mean , if we were guys , we probably would have punched each other in the face . victoria : exactly . cane : you know , that 's the only way i can kind of explain how , you know , two people who obviously feel the way we do about each other ended up , um ... on your couch . victoria : maybe you were just trying to sabotage your relationship with lily for some reason . cane : no , that -- that 's crazy . i , uh -- i love her more than anything . victoria : yeah , you 're right . yeah . i do n't know why we 're even analyzing it . we should just take responsibility for our bad choices . cane : okay . you mean , bad choices like billy , or ... ? victoria : things are just going too fast , you know ? it feels like life is coming at me , and i just -- i ca n't catch up . cane : you know , sometimes , i feel like i 'm drowning . you know , it 's like there 's so many people counting on me , and i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to hold on . victoria : feels like it might be easier to cut bait than waiting around for everyone to find out that you 're a fraud . so you do something stupid to protect yourself from inevitable pain and ultimate destruction . cane : i mean , i was so scared that i was n't gon na be able to keep my family together during lily 's prison sentence that i just ... made it a self - fulfilling prophecy . victoria : you know , as hard as it is to admit , there is some relief in that . because copping out is a lot safer than fighting for the thing that 's hard . cane : yeah . mia : okay , rey 's got his best man , i 've got my wedding dress . everything 's perfect ! rey : except for a place to do this thing . mia : oh , do n't worry , i have a place in mind . i just have to nail it down . rey : mm , feels like you 're cutting it a little close . mia : amor , i 'm about to leave right now to work my magic , okay ? rey : mm . you 're not gon na tell me where you 're going ? mia : nope . rey : [ chuckles ] mia : [ giggles ] because a secret or two is good to keep a marriage interesting . rey : mm - hmm . mia : yeah . you work on your vows , okay ? rey : okay . mia : you make sure he 's ready on time . arturo : yes , ma'am . mia : i knew you were the right man for the job . luckily , my husband listens to me . arturo : wait . hold up , this was her idea ? rey : mia suggested it , and of course i agreed . who else is gon na be my best man but my baby brother ? nick : all right , let 's put aside for a moment the fake evidence planted in the stable . all right , whoever 's doing this , they had to have known that j.t . was killed with the fire poker . they also knew where you buried him . so whoever this is , they were either watching you , mom , or they were with you . now , i know you said it could n't possibly be j.t . , but that would answer a lot of questions . nikki : i just do n't see how he could have survived after everything we did to him . nikki : well , who else has a vendetta against dad big enough to go down and fish the fire poker out of the lake and then put it in the ranch house ? nikki : son , i wish i had answers for you , but i just do n't , and going around in circles like this is exhausting . nick : oh , yeah , sorry . i did n't mean to wear you out . nikki : no , it 's okay , i think i 'm gon na go home and rest . nick : okay , i 'll drive you . nikki : no , no , no . my car is here . i 'll be fine . if i think of anything else , i 'll call you . i want to figure this out just as much as you do . mia : [ gasps ] nikki ! hi ! nikki : oh , mia ! hello . mia : do i look any different ? because i 'm a blushing bride today . well , again . for the second time . rey and i are having a vowel renewal . nikki : oh , well , how wonderful . i ca n't wait to hear all about it , but i 'm in a bit of a rush right now , excuse me . mia : okay . nikki : hi , it 's me . where are you ? do n't move . we need to talk . in person . mia : oh ! devon : sorry . mia : i 'm so sorry . i thought that was mine . devon : it 's okay . mia : devon ! devon : hi . mia : hi ! oh , mia rosales . lola 's sister - in - law . devon : lola -- hi ! how are you ? mia : yeah . nice to meet you . hi . yeah ! devon : nice to meet you . this is my sister ana . mia : nice to meet you . yeah ! ana : nice to meet you . mia : i got to tell you , devon , it feels like we know each other already because lola 's a little bit in awe of you . devon : oh , no , she 's the star . she 's a fantastic chef . i enjoy working with her , too . mia : aww , good , well , you do n't have to tell me because , you know what , this restaurant i 've been hearing all about , i hear it 's gon na be hottest spot in town , okay ? the food , the decor -- it 's gon na be incredible . devon : yeah . we hope so . we hope so . we have a lot of work to do before we open up , but ... mia : [ sighs ] i wish you were open today . i just came in here to get off my feet for a minute . my husband and i are gon na renew our vows , so we 're looking for a venue . devon : that 's nice . mia : yeah . but now that i look around ... there is no place in town as sophisticated and classy as this . devon : [ chuckles ] you own it , too , do n't you ? devon : i do , yes . mia : it 's not available this afternoon , is it ? devon : uh , to be honest , i do n't know , i do n't have the calendar in front of me . mia : oh , well , i know it 's a crazy thing to ask , but , you know , it would be perfect , and here i am , running into you . devon : i know . the thing is , you would have to be a member to reserve the dining room . mia : oh . right , right . i did n't think of that . yeah , since all my friends are members , i felt like i was one . [ chuckles ] you know , there 's , oh , lauren and phyllis , and i just ran into nikki newman back there , and -- oh ! is that nick ? devon : yeah . mia : do you ever make exceptions ? devon : i do , sometimes , yeah . i would first have to pick up all those names you just dropped . [ laughs ] well , you just created an incredible space here , that 's all , and it would be the perfect romantic backdrop for the happiest day of our lives . both and rey and i 's . you know ? and if you did us this little exception , you know , you would be doing a favor to gcpd 's finest . devon : hmm . mia : something like that can go a long way . devon : i 'm okay . thank you , though . mia : well , lola would appreciate it . you know , she 's my maid of honor . devon : so , you 're using your relationship with your sister - in - law to score a venue now ? mia : what ? no . devon : i do n't think she would like that very much . mia : well , then she does n't have to know . devon : [ chuckles ] hmm . mia : what 's so funny ? devon : it 's just you remind me of someone who also never took `` no `` for answer , that 's all . mia : well , i 'm my own woman . but i was also the biggest hilary curtis fan . gc buzz was my bible in miami , and i streamed every episode of `` the hilary hour . `` devon : is that true ? mia : it 's true . cross my heart . devon : well ... mia : i 'm very sorry for your loss . devon : i appreciate that . thank you . hilary always loved weddings . the more drama , the better . i was n't able to give her the type of wedding she would have planned the second time around , but ... it did n't matter . all that did was the love in the room , you know ? mia : well , rey and i have that . we just do n't have the venue or the food or drinks . devon : all right . and what 's the rush ? why are you guys doing it today ? mia : i can be spontaneous when the mood strikes , and my amazing husband indulges me . devon : uh - huh . that sounds familiar , too . um , ana , what 's our schedule look like ? ana : um ... we can move something . devon : yeah ? ana : this is super romantic . mia : oh ! devon : i 'll tell you what , you keep it under 20 people , and i 'll give you a discount on the space . mia : oh , my god . really ? devon : really , and also , the food and the drinks will be taken care of as my wedding gift to you and your husband . mia : [ giggling ] oh , my god ! devon : hey ! take it easy . your husband must be a very interesting guy . mia : really . thank you so much . devon : you 're very welcome . you can thank the fact that i was able to marry the love of my life twice . just find the events manager and let them know that i approved everything , and you should be good to go . mia : yes , sir . okay ! thank you ! devon : have a good time . you 're welcome ! ana : you did a good thing , even though she was working you . hard . devon : oh , please . it was just some harmless fun . nobody works me . sometimes , i let them think that they are . cane : thank you for letting me vent . you know , it feels good being able to talk to someone who understands . victoria : is there anything that i can do to make things better between you and lily ? maybe i should write a letter , or i could go up there ... cane : no . no . no , that 's the last thing you should do . i mean , she wo n't see you . she wo n't even see me . victoria : just sounds like she needs more time . cane : well , that 's what i worry about , you know ? i think more time sitting in her cell like that , it 's gon na let the thought of what i did just eat away at her . what i should do is go and see her and let her know it was me and my issues . and if she believes me , then maybe i 'll have the chance to prove to her that i 'll be the man she deserves . victoria : that sounds like a plan . cane : there is one thing you could do . well , i mean , we could both do . we should try and keep our distance . you know , try and stay away from each other , as far as humanly possible . victoria : deal . yeah . cane : yeah . victoria : you just have to stop coming to my house . cane : [ laughs ] [ doorbell rings ] victoria : oh , excuse me . cane : okay . you know , i think it was a good idea , you know , coming over here and clearing the air like this . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . rey : uh , why do n't you take a seat ? i 'll get us coffee . arturo : you got it . sharon : hey . what can i get you ? rey : i actually have something for you . an apology . sharon : for what ? rey : mia . blurting out the news about our vow renewal . i was hoping to tell you privately . sharon : i 'm really happy for two of you . truly . rey : thank you . but you do n't have to come . i can tell mia you have other plans . sharon : no , i am going to be there . i 'm not gon na let mia intimidate me . i mean , if that makes any sense . rey : look , she does n't mean it the way that she sounds ... sharon : yes . she does . look , it 's no big deal . i 'm just gon na go to the ceremony and wish you and your wife well , just like any other guest . because you and i do n't have anything to hide , right ? rey : right . [ cellphone rings ] hello ? devon : okay . phone calls over . what 's next ? ana : i just booked your trip to new york next month , hotel for five nights . devon : cool . no notebook this time ? ana : oh , i make reservations online . sometimes i jot things down in the notebook so i do n't forget to do them . or i write down appointments that i can put into the calendar later . devon : well , no offene , but that seems a little messy . why do n't we just go through the notebook and make sure everything 's been transferred over ? ana : you have more important things to do than that . i know because i keep your schedule . devon : do you not want me to see what 's in that notebook ? is it something about fen 's song , or ... ? ana : what ? no . devon : no ? is the songwriter 's real name written in there , and you do n't want me to see it ? ana : yeah . yeah , his real name is in there , and we agreed to keep him anonymous . if you were able to find out who he is , you would n't be able to un- know it , or erase it from your mind , so it 's better that you 're not tempted . i 'm protecting you . devon : you 're protecting me ? ana : mm - hmm . devon : oh , okay . well , just so you know , you 're not as good of a liar as you think you are . billy : i should have known you 'd run over here and cry to victoria . cane : well , i thought your ex - wife should know what you 're capable of . billy : and i thought your current wife should know , too . victoria : would you guys please keep your voices down ? the kids are upstairs . cane : you can try and tell yourself , okay , that you went to the prison to help lily , but we know why you did it , okay ? because when billy gets hurt , billy likes to go and hurt other people . billy : oh , no , see , cane , you hurt lily , not me . cane : oh , really ? and you 're the one who pressured victoria so much that she turned to me . victoria : hey ! that 's private ! billy : do n't talk about us . okay ? you do n't know . you do n't have a clue . cane : oh , do n't i ? okay . i don't . so , i tell you what , i 'm gon na go , and how about you talk about this yourselves ? billy : you ruined his marriage , and now he 's trying to blow us up . victoria : how could you do that to lily ? billy : vick , wait . victoria : no , i have to check on the kids . billy : no , do n't let cane do this , okay ? he 's spinning it to make it look like i 'm the bad guy . victoria : all he did was tell me that you raced up to the jail cell to tell lily what happened . is there anything that you want to deny there ? billy : do you think that lily does n't deserve to know about her cheating husband ? victoria : i do n't think it was your place to tell her . billy : but it 's cane 's place to talk about our relationship ? victoria : enough , billy ! enough ! i just need to be alone for a little while . it 's time that i took care of myself . billy : so that means me staying away . victoria : this just is n't working . not now . a minute ago , you told cane that he needed to own up to his mistakes . well , you need to do the same thing . you 're the one who 's making us impossible . ana : you think i 'm self - serving ? i do a massive amount of work as your assistant . from making sure you have the right sheet music for your sessions to picking up your dry cleaning . and you think i 'm disloyal ? devon : i did n't say `` disloyal . `` i said you have n't been honest with me , and that 's two different things . ana : what are you talking about ? devon : okay , i 'm sure that you have some good reasons , which i ca n't wait to hear , but withholding things and misleading me is unacceptable , and i deserve to know the truth . ana : what truth ? devon : the truth about your songwriter friend . come on . your refusal to be honest has forced me to find out the truth myself , and it took a bit of digging , but i found out everything i needed to know . so would you like to explain why when you look up this reza guy 's llc , the name on the legal documents is yours ? arturo : hey , um , rey 's upstairs . i 'm actually on my way to get rent tuxes . mia : uh , make sure they are classy . those tuxes need to go perfectly with my venue . i only got us the gcac dining room , and devon hamilton is paying for dinner and drinks as a wedding present ! arturo : i do n't even want to know how you pulled that one off . mia : you already know . i 'm irresistibly charming . arturo : yeah . mia : nothing 's gon na rain on my parade today , not even your grumpiness . you got to be there by 3 : 00 pm , okay ? arturo : wait , uh ... we got to set something straight first . phyllis : you know , i really do n't appreciate you calling me and demanding me to stay put . i am not your pet poodle . i do n't respond well to commands . nikki : i only make them when i have a damn - good reason . shall we ? phyllis : all right . you have my attention . what is it ? nikki : oh , you mean , besides the fact that we 're living a nightmare ever since that poker turned up ? phyllis : we have been stewing in that bad news for days . why do n't you tell me why you 're here in my office right now this second ? nikki : good point . i should have come long before now . but , you see , it did n't really dawn on me until this morning that our little group has been going round and round about who could have fished the poker out of the bottom of the lake . who ? how ? why ? but there 's one question that we never asked -- what if the poker was never in the lake to begin with ? phyllis : i told you , i threw it in there myself . nikki : yes , but you were alone , so why should we believe you ? phyllis : come on , you really think i 'd lie to you about getting rid of it ? nikki : phyllis , your track record of lying does not bode well for you in this line of defense . phyllis : you better watch what you 're accusing me of . nikki : you never look more guilty than when your claws come out . phyllis : you really have been through a lot , nikki . i 'm not sure you 're thinking straight . you should probably lie down , give that brain of yours a rest . nikki : you held onto that poker until you found a good use for it -- to frame my husband for what we did . billy : the only reason i wanted to get back together with you is because i love you . that 's all . so if you want to know why this did n't work , it 's because you turned to cane . cane . victoria : your ego just ca n't handle that it was him , can it ? just like your ego ca n't handle that phyllis rejected you , and you turned to me . then you lit a big fire under her and made a big show out of it , hoping to win her back . ultimately , you used me as a prop . billy : vick , you 're never a prop . you 're the answer . i did everything i could to try and make it work , to fit into your life , to take things on your terms , at your pace . and it still was n't enough . instead , you took everything i gave you and threw it back in my face . if you really want to be honest about why we did n't work out , ask yourself if there 's anything else that i could have done . and then ask yourself if you 're capable of caring about anyone anymore . i think i have my answer . and you do , too . devon : ana , i need to know why you 're protecting this songwriter . ana : it was a favor ! he 's just the creative type who wants to stay out of the business side of things . devon : i do n't buy that anymore . okay ? i really don't . does the guy have a criminal record , or something ? ana : no ! nothing like that . devon : no ? okay , did he burn too many bridges in the industry ? he has to go by a different name now ? ana : no , that 's not it ! devon : did you date the guy , and now it 's complicated ? ana : please , stop asking me . devon : fine , i will stop asking you , but if you do n't tell me the truth , i 'm gon na pull fen 's song from distribution . ana : okay ! okay ! there is no other songwriter . there 's only me . i wrote the song . arturo : [ sighs ] mia , i think it 's great that you and rey are doing this ceremony . i mean , he 's so excited and happy about it , it almost makes me nervous for him . mia : why ? i 'm just as excited as he is . arturo : are you ? i mean , i want to believe you , but , i do n't know , this whole thing just seems a bit desperate to me . i have to wonder if it 's a coincidence that this whole `` vow renewal `` idea came right after i threatened to tell rey what went down between us . mia : you listen to me . i 'm gon na put on that white dress , stand next to my husband , and tell him , with no hesitation , how much i love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him . today puts an end to anything between us . no more temptations , no more mistakes . i 'm getting on with my life . i suggest you do the same . phyllis : let me tell you something . i am running a company with a slew of actual problems , and your conspiracy theory is not at the top of my priority list ! so , no , i 'm not trying to frame victor . i was just as surprised as the rest of you when i found out about that poker . so if you do not believe me , i can not help you . nikki : i do n't need your help . not anymore , phyllis . i was a fool to think that we were even in this together at all . i mean , we have n't been a gang of four . ever since the night that j.t . died , we have been a gang of three , plus one . phyllis : this is ridiculous . nikki : really ? you forget , i know you . i know you too well . and this fits you like a glove . you used that poker as an insurance policy to get a leg up over us . tell me i 'm wrong ! phyllis : no ! you 're not ! because i have no intention of going down for this ! so , yes , i never threw that fire poker into the lake .

[ previously_on ] amanda : if you ca n't be honest with victoria about what 's going on between us , and you have to lie about seeing me , maybe it 's time that you ask yourself why . victoria : now i 'm learning that you did n't love me enough to be honest with me because now you have a new friend . billy : i love you . you know that . victoria : oh , i do n't know what i know anymore . i do n't know who you are . faith : i do n't think i should go back to boarding school . sharon : oh , faith . faith : my place is here with you . [ knock on door ] rey : good morning . sharon : hi . what are you doing here ? are n't you supposed to be at work ? rey : well , after you told me that mariah was taking faith to breakfast , i decided to change my schedule and treat you to your favorite chocolate croissants , as well as my incredible company . sharon : you did n't have to go out of your way like that . rey : it 's just croissants . it 's not a big deal . something else on your mind ? sharon : yeah , i was just talking to nick about faith leaving boarding school . it 's all handled . rey : oh , i 'm glad he took care of that . i mean , that 's what you and faith agreed to . am i right ? sharon : [ sighs ] yes , we did . i just hate the reason why . faith : dad ? nick : yeah , in here . good morning , girls . faith : hey , dad . mariah : came as soon as i got your message . nick : i appreciate that . thank you . faith : so , you wanted to talk to me ? nick : yes . i put in a call to your headmaster at your boarding school and told him you would not be returning . and i called the principal at walnut grove and asked if you could transfer back in . faith : and ? nick : they said they 'd be thrilled to get you back , and you can start when the next semester begins . faith : oh , thank you so much . nick : no problem . faith : i just could n't stand being away at school with mom sick . nick : well , for what it 's worth , i think you 're making the right call . mariah : yeah . she 's gon na have all of us here for her , and that 's what matters . nick : amen . faith : i do need to go back to school one last time to say goodbye to everyone and get my stuff . nick : well , we can do that today . i 'll take you . mariah : hold on . i do n't think that 's such a great idea . nate : hey , there . elena : hey , you 're right on time . thanks for meeting me before my shift . nate : sure thing . elena : and there is a double espresso with your name on it coming right up on me . nate : the royal treatment , huh ? elena : mm - hmm . nate : thanks . what did i do to deserve this ? elena : oh , you know , for being brilliant and creative and an incredibly helpful human being . nate : okay . so , now i know you 're about to hit me up for a favor . elena : did i mention perceptive , dr . hastings ? nate : so , is it one of those `` no big deal , glad to help a pal `` kind of favors , or the kind i 'll agree to and wish i had n't ? nikki : whatever you 're reading , put it down , please . victor : come here . nikki : what i have to say is far more important . victor : really ? you mean , more important than the fluctuations in the global copper market ? nikki : oh ! much . victor : really ? well , then , you have my attention . nikki : good , because my news is about you and newman enterprises , and i think it 's going to make you very happy . billy : you had a late night last night , and now you 're back at it first thing in the morning ? victoria : well , i helped the kids get out the door , but i have a lot to do today . billy : last night you said that you were n't sure if i loved you , and i know that you were angry and upset when you said that . so , let me just say it again , and i 'll say it as many times as i need to . i love you . if i did n't , i would n't be here wanting to fight for us , wanting to do whatever it takes to make it right . victoria : i have a meeting that i have to be -- billy : vic , please , do n't turn your back and walk out on me , please . additional sponsorship nick : why do n't you want me to take faith back to her boarding school ? mariah : because i would like to take her . nick : oh , okay . can i ask why ? mariah : yeah . you have christian to look after , and with tessa gone at the moment , i have a lot of time on my hands , and i figure after we pack up her room , i could maybe take her and her friends out to dinner , and then we could spend the night at a fancy hotel before bringing her back in the morning . nick : okay . girls ' trip . i can see why i do n't qualify for that . are you cool with that ? faith : yeah . yeah , for sure . i 'd actually rather have you be here for christian and mom in case she needs anything . nick : alright . girls ' trip it is . let 's just , uh , work out some details and some rules , though . mariah : ah ... [ whispering ] rules . [ blows raspberry ] [ laughs ] sharon : part of me is thrilled that faith is staying home from school . i missed her so much . but she loved her new school and all the friends she made , the independence of being away from home . she should be going back there without a care in the world . but she ca n't do that because of me . rey : now , sharon , you have nothing to feel guilty about . sharon : i hate that she has to give this up . rey : faith does n't feel like she 's making a sacrifice . she 's not coming back home out of obligation . she needs to be close to her mother and wants to support her , just like the rest of us do . sharon : you know , it 's really been amazing how you 've all rallied around me , but it 's a little overwhelming , also . you know , i was just diagnosed with breast cancer two days ago , and already i feel like my life has been divided into two different parts -- before i picked up the phone and got those biopsy results and now . everything just seems to revolve around me having this disease . rey : think of it this way . all that love you 've put out over the years is coming right back at you . sharon : oh , rey ! rey : yesterday , you said that you would lean on us , and that 's what we want you to do . and in case i have n't made it clear , you are my number - one priority . nothing and no one is more important to me right now . [ cellphone ringing ] sharon : oh , looks like someone did n't get your memo . rey : whoever it is has incredibly bad timing . sharon : it 's okay . just take it . you know what ? it 's the universe 's way of telling us all that life goes on . nikki : the location is set , the menu has been selected , the invitations will be out shortly , and if i do say so myself , i think i have done an excellent job coordinating so far . victor : well , my darling , of that i have no doubt . nikki : the 50th anniversary of newman enterprises is going to be a magnificent celebration . victor : you know , actually means more to me than i thought it would . nikki : i know it . that 's why we 're going to go all - out . this is a major milestone . the company that you grew from nothing into a worldwide empire ? victor : not without a few bumps along the way . a lot of people thought that we would n't survive . nikki : and yet you did . victor : yeah . and we 're stronger than ever now . can you imagine that ? and we will be for many more years to come . nikki : well , darling , i can understand you wanting to focus on the company 's success ... victor : mm - hmm . nikki : ... but i would rather the attention that evening be more on you . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : you 're more than a legendary business leader , darling . you 're a wonderful husband , father , grandfather , and i want to pay tribute to the man who created this legacy and the family who adores him because to me that 's your greatest achievement . victoria : no , billy , we 're not doing this . now is not the time . billy : actually , now is exactly the time because what we 're going through should take precedence over everything else . victoria : well , i have a meeting . i have to get to the office . i have a schedule . i need to go . billy : so , you 're gon na go bury yourself in work ? do you think that 's going to actually help anything , vic ? victoria : okay , fine ! you feel so strongly about it , let 's do it . let 's just get it all out in the open ! elena : maybe `` favor `` is too strong a word . i really just wanted to pick your brain . nate : okay . what 's the topic ? elena : okay , so you know the medical clinic we 've been talking about for new hope ? nate : mm - hmm . elena : well , it 's gon na be a while before it 's up on its feet . what do you think about a mobile medical unit to fill in the gap ? fully outfitted for routine wellness care , immunizations , physicals for work and school , walk - in treatments for the most common types of injuries and illnesses . nate : outstanding idea . elena : really ? nate : yeah . i 'm sure nick and devon will be all over it . and the medical folks who 've committed to volunteering ? they 'd be thrilled to get things off the ground . elena : cool . okay , i 'm gon na do a little more research , and then i 'm gon na write a formal proposal . nate : it sounds like a plan . what made you come up with this ? elena : you know , believe it or not , i thought about it in the shower . it 's where i do all my brainstorming . nate : ah , same with me and a lot of other people . folks who run or meditate or do yoga take time out every day to clear their minds . it creates space for other things to come to the fore . elena : yeah , and for those of us who do n't make the time , we do all of our brainstorming in the bath . [ both laugh ] amanda : sorry , i did n't mean to interrupt . just wanted to say hi . nate : hey , you 're not interrupting . elena : yeah , if , um , you 're not meeting anyone , feel free to join us . amanda : seriously ? elena : sure . you and nate are friends , and i told you i wanted us to be cordial , regardless of the whole will debacle . so , have a seat ... or not . choice is yours . rey : you really ca n't handle this ? i - i told you i 'm not coming in until later . okay , fine . i will handle it , mm - hmm . sharon : problem ? rey : i really do n't want to leave , but ... sharon : duty calls . rey : next time i am turning my phone off . sharon : it 's okay . supporting me and doing your job do n't have to be mutually exclusive . rey : i know , but it 's -- sharon : no , no `` buts . `` there might be days where you need to take time off to be with me , but today is not one of them . and besides , this way i can eat your croissant , too . rey : oh , so , that 's your real motive for wanting me out of here , huh ? sharon : well , that 's a pretty good one , do n't you think ? rey : after my shift 's over , i 'll be back . tonight , the sky is supposed to be crystal clear . we can go out for a walk , look at the stars and then warm up by the fire , if that appeals to you . sharon : you are too wonderful . you know that ? rey : right back at you , beautiful . victor : everyone have a seat . so , what brings you by ? mariah : well , we have some big news . nick : yes . faith has decided to transfer to walnut grove this semester . nikki : you are kidding . she 's gon na stay in genoa city ? victor : she never mentioned that to me . nikki : no . i - i thought she was very happy at boarding school . victor : huh ! why the change of heart ? nick : she just wants to stay in genoa city , closer to her family . mariah : nobody was going to argue with that . nikki : oh , no . i mean , selfishly speaking , i 'm thrilled to hear it . victor : yeah , wonderful news . nick : which brings me to the other reason why i 'm here . faith really needs to get to her boarding school to get all of her things and say goodbye , and they 're expecting her today . victor : so , in other words , you are suggesting that it would be more comfortable and more expeditious to perhaps use the newman jet , right ? you got it , my boy . nick : thanks , dad . victor : you 're welcome . nikki : well , i would love to go along . in fact , son , if you 're busy , i could take her . she and i are overdue for a little one - on - one time . mariah : uh , actually , i was going to take her . yeah , faith was telling me that her friends know me from my `` gc buzz `` days , and they would really like to meet me . victor : oh , well , wait a minute . why does that preclude nikki from going ? i mean , she is known the world over . mariah : oh , no ! absolutely , of course . um , it 's just faith and i were really into this idea of a sister trip . no offense , nikki . nikki : oh , please . i 'm just happy that she 's gon na be home . nick : agreed . this is where she needs to be right now . elena : devon has really been throwing himself into his work with nick and new hope . even though he runs a corporation , he still finds the time . regardless of any adversity he 's going through in his own life , he still knows how fortunate he i in so many other ways . for him , giving back is as natural as breathing . amanda : i do have a great deal of admiration for what devon 's been doing . the character that he 's shown as he 's moved on from what happened -- it 's amazing . elena : well , i should get going . i have some errands to run before my shift . nate : okay , i 'll see you at the hospital later . elena : yeah . see you . amanda . amanda : have a good one . elena : you too . nate : do you have somewhere you need to be , too ? amanda : not at the moment . nate : would you like some coffee ? amanda : i 'll grab some in a minute . right now i am curious about something . nate : what 's that ? amanda : i 'm not usually a nosy person . nate : that 's what people say right before they ask something completely nosy . amanda : i suppose it is . nate : go ahead . ask away . does n't mean i 'll answer . victoria : billy , i know you say that you 're not having an affair . billy : because i 'm not . victoria : but hearing that you confided in amanda instead of me -- do you know how much that hurt ? it hurt more than i can put into words . it opened all of these old wounds . billy : there is nothing physical or romantic going on with amanda and me , okay ? and i told you that i would never do that to you again . victoria : intimacy is about a lot more than sex . i 'm not accusing you of having an affair , but to be going around , meeting with this woman for weeks in secret ? i mean , to me -- to me it 's like an ominous sign . billy : of what ? victoria : of a disconnect ! between us and it goes way beyond that . you say that you ca n't talk to me because you think i 'm going to judge you . then you need to tell me that . you need to tell me , not sneaking around with some other woman . billy : see , that 's not exactly -- victoria : you know , i think that you get some sort of thrill out of this , this secret relationship . there 's a part of you that 's not content with a stable , normal life . you love drama . so , you have to create drama . is that what you 're doing ? billy : well , that 's your perspective , is n't it ? victoria : listen to me ! i 'm not finished ! you say that you want to fight for us . then you need to get help . billy : because i 'm broken and that i need to be fixed , that kind of help ? victoria : you do n't want to see dr . clay anymore ? that 's fine . that 's fine . you can go see another counselor . maybe we could go to a couples counselor together . did you think about that ? or maybe -- maybe you ought to go to some gamblers anonymous meetings . anything , billy , to just get you back on track . billy : see , here 's the thing , vic . i 'm not off track . and i keep trying to explain that to you , but it 's not soaking in . and so , i had to go figure it out on my own . victoria : oh . with amanda ? billy : what i need most from you is to just believe in me . and if you can do that , you 're going to see that there 's nothing to be afraid of . can you just give me a chance to try and prove that to you ? sharon : once mariah gets here , you wo n't have much time before you leave . you want me to help you pack your overnight bag ? faith : no . no , i can do it . i just want to talk to you first . sharon : okay . what about ? faith : i 've been doing a lot of thinking since i found out about your diagnosis , and ... [ sighs ] ... just want to say i 'm so sorry for what i did . sharon : what are you talking about ? faith : i never should have gone away to school , because when i was gone you were here , getting sick , even if you did n't know it at the time . sharon : oh , sweetie . faith : and i 'm sorry for all the times i waited to call you back or the stupid , stupid things i said when i was frustrated . sharon : okay , i 'm going to stop you right there . you have nothing to be sorry about . you were living your life . you were being a regular teenage girl . hey , i know this is hard , but i do n't want you to have any regrets . faith : how can i not ? sharon : remember what the doctor told me ? they caught my cancer early . so , i 'm going to fight this with everything in me for you and mariah and noah . you know , being your mom has made me a lot stronger than i thought i would be . and i do n't know what this journey ahead is going to look like exactly , but i do know that we 're going to find our way together . come here . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . amanda : i hope you do n't consider this prying , but i just wanted to get a handle on how everyone is related to everyone else . nate : what do you want to know ? amanda : well , for instance , i know that you and devon are cousins , but i do n't know how . nate : mm . devon and lily 's mom is my mother 's sister , my aunt drucilla . and their dad , neil winters , and my stepfather , malcolm winters , were brothers . amanda : wow . [ chuckles ] the more you learn , it sounds like every family in this town has a very complicated story . nate : [ laughs ] yeah , it keeps things interesting . amanda : mm . what about you and elena ? you two go way back , too ? nate : we only met last year . amanda : but you 've dated , though , right ? nate : no . why would you think that ? amanda : it was just something about the way that you two act with each other . i thought you had history . nate : you thought wrong . amanda : okay . if you say so . faith : okay , that 's everything . mariah : well , i guess we 're ready to go , then . faith : okay . well , i 'll text you as soon as we land , and our phones will be on the entire time after that . and dad and rey will both be here if you need anything . sharon : good to know , but you do n't have to worry . nothing 's going to go wrong between now and tomorrow . just have a good time with mariah and your friends . faith : i will . sharon : okay . mariah : and we 'll be back in the morning . sharon : yeah . nick : if any last - minute details need to be worked out with the headmaster , just -- mariah : i will call you , yes . nick : okay . well , you guys have fun . give me a hug . faith : bye . nick : bye . love you . faith : alright . sharon : see you in the morning . faith : yep . sharon : alright . mariah : behave yourself . sharon : oh , we 'll see . [ both laugh ] mariah : alright , squirt . let 's hit the road . faith : alright . elena : take - out orders are taking a really long time today . rey : huh . must be my fault . i persuaded the whole station to order from society . cops have serious appetites . elena : ah . well , as long as i get my order in time to make it to my shift at the hospital . rey : on your way to the emergency room , huh ? elena : mm - hmm . rey : you must get a lot of interesting cases . elena : never a dull moment . rey : you must see it all -- pneumonia , broken bones , cancer . elena : yeah , sometimes all three within the span of an hour . rey : so , how does that actually work ? i mean , say you 're treating a patient who has cancer , and that cancer has a 75 % survival rate . what does that actually mean ? like , how do you know your patient will be amongst the 75 that actually make it ? elena : rey , why are asking me so many questions about cancer ? victoria : i ca n't do this , billy . i can't . i just can't . i ca n't do what you 're asking . i ca n't take that leap of faith again . i 've done it too many times . i just -- i end up getting crushed . billy : and you 're afraid that i 'm gon na go to that deep , dark place again , where i was consumed with my revenge for adam . victoria : frankly ? yes , i do . billy : and i told you that that part of my life was done , right ? i 'm never going back to that person again . victoria , i am the same man that you fell in love with , the one that balanced you out because i was spontaneous and unpredictable and playful . i mean , you used to actually embrace that side of me . victoria : well , i did n't know then that this is where it would lead you to ... billy : this ? victoria : ... to too much drinking when things do n't go your way , to driving a car and crashing it , to a return to a gambling problem so severe that -- that i got kidnapped because somebody that you owed money to -- billy : okay , how long ago was that ? how many years ago was that ? victoria : it was n't long enough ago for me to not remember how scared i was that they might kill me ! billy ! you know , long before adam came back into our lives , you broke my heart so many times , and i forgave you , not realizing that you had no way of stopping your self - destructive behavior . and i did n't know when that was ever gon na be fixed , or if you could fix it . but then , this past year , i saw this profound shift in you . and when i was going through my crisis with j.t . , and when i was questioning everything about myself , you were there for me . you were my rock . that 's the billy that i fell in love with . that 's the person i committed myself to . that 's the person that i trust to have by my side . i 'm not asking you to be perfect . i 'm not perfect . i 'm not . but i try every day to be a better person , to be the best person i can be , and all i hear from you , all i 'm hearing right now is you talking about going backwards . billy : so , you 're just twisting my words up , okay ? you 're mischaracterizing everything that i 'm saying . victoria : i 'm just trying to put it into context . i 'm not trying to wound you . billy : well , you 're right about one thing . there is a communication breakdown . and there 's a wall between us , and you just want it your way . and i do n't get a say in that . victoria : i would never do -- billy : look , vic . the bottom line is here , i do n't want to repeat the same mistakes that i 've made , okay ? and all i 'm looking for from you is a level of acceptance . that 's it . like , the amount that you give your father . is it too much to ask that you would allow the same consideration to me ? sharon : you want something to drink ? faith and i are having tea . i could heat up some more water . nick : i 'm good , thanks . sharon : is something wrong ? nick : well , you did a pretty good job of covering , but i could tell when mariah and i came back from the main house . you and faith seemed pretty emotional . sharon : it 's just hard to see your girl so anxious and upset . and the way she tried to take care of me because she 's going away . i 'm supposed to take care of my child , not the other way around . nick : we raised our daughter to put family first . that 's what she 's doing . sharon : i would just do anything to take away her fear , but i ca n't -- i ca n't control that . i ca n't control any of this . it 's what 's so frustrating . has she talked to you about how she 's feeling ? nick : she 's scared . she ca n't get cancer out of her head . sharon : i know the feeling . nick : sharon , we are going to help her deal with whatever comes up . do n't forget . she 's tough , like her mother . and she 's determined to help you through this . sharon : [ sighs ] nick : and there 's proof right there . elena : in my experience , when someone brings up a medical issue , especially something as serious as cancer , it 's either affecting them or someone they care about . i hate to pry , rey , but is everything okay with you ? rey : no , i 'm fi -- i 'm fine . i know someone who was recently diagnosed . elena : oh . is it one of the cops you 're ordering lunch for ? rey : i do n't want to violate that person 's trust . elena : totally understand . rey : they are determined to beat it , though . and i know that even if they discover the cancer early , nothing 's guaranteed . so , what 's the difference between the people that make it and the people that do n't ? elena : listen -- i do n't have much experience with oncology . rey : you know more than i do . elena : sometimes a person 's prior medical history can make the difference . but , honestly , more times than not , there 's no way to explain why one patient responds to treatment and another doesn't . rey : so , what are you telling me ? it 's all a crapshoot ? that even if the patient follows the doctor 's orders to a `` t , `` even if they eat all the right foods , have a positive attitude , that might not even matter ? elena : unfortunately , cancer can be relentless , but in my experience an optimistic patient who has a strong support system does have an advantage . rey : i want to do whatever i can to help them . elena : sometimes something as simple as running an errand for them can go a long way . rey : thank you . and thank you for the advice . elena : your friend is lucky to have you . and just remember -- he or she is the same person they were before . and they 're more than their diagnosis . rey : so much more . victor : thank you for letting me know . alright . have a good flight . yep . well , it seems mariah and faith just arrived at the airport , and once they board , our plane will take off . nikki : very good . thank you for that update . victor : yeah , i still wish you had been with them . nikki : oh , that 's alright . i 'm just glad we 'll have plenty of time with faith now . and nicholas , too . i 'm sure he 's feeling at loose ends without chelsea . having faith and christian and new hope to focus on will be a blessing for him . victor : yeah , i think you 're right . nikki : well , i had so hoped this year would get off to a good start for our kids . victor : what do you mean ? nikki : never mind . victor : what do you mean ? you 're talking about nicholas . well , we have n't talked about victoria . is there something you 're not telling me ? victoria : you leave my father out of this . billy : look -- i 've pulled some stunts in my life , but nothing compared to your dad , okay ? he 's in a whole other league . victoria : i mean it , billy ! billy : and yet you still accept him for who he is . it does n't matter what he does . why not just meet me halfway ? victoria : it 's not the same . my father 's my father . you 're my partner . we have a life together . we 've built a home for our kids . we have to rely on each other . god , i ca n't even believe i have to talk to you about this . billy : victoria , we 're -- victoria : i 've been going around and around in circles . i mean , this is n't a discussion . this is like an exercise in frustration , and i 'm -- i 'm done with it . sharon : you knew about this ? nick : i was with faith last night before rey brought her over . she insisted i take her shopping . i guess she wanted to give you something to remind you to never give up because she 's never gon na give up on you . sharon : [ sniffles ] our little girl . nick : she 's something else . sharon : why did she leave it here for me to find rather than just giving it to me herself ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she was just waiting for the right moment ? maybe she thought it would help you while she was away , even though she 's only going to be gone a little while . sharon : it 's perfect . i 'm glad you stayed . but i know you 're busy . nick : yeah . uh , anything i can do before i take off ? sharon : i have everything i need right now . nate : look -- about elena and me . amanda : i thought there was no elena and you . nate : there is n't , and there never has been . but i can tell you 're still curious , so allow me to put any lingering questions you might have to rest . amanda : by all means . nate : elena and i are friends , good friends . we 're colleagues at memorial . amanda : now , that i knew . nate : we both care very deeply about devon . in that regard , i suppose you 're right about us sharing some kind of history , just not in the way you assumed . amanda : i hear you , nate , and i will drop it . even if you were interested in the pretty doctor , i know you 'll never go there because you and devon are family . nate : it 's not just about family . i would never pursue anyone who was already in a relationship . amanda : never ? nate : no , ma'am . it 's not who i am . amanda : you make it sound like this rule that you decided to follow , but you ca n't help who you 're attracted to . nate : true , but you can control your actions . any grown man or woman with any kind of moral code should know better than to cross that line . victor : what are you keeping from me ? nikki : nothing ! victor : sweetheart , you said `` our kids `` -- plural form . nikki : [ sighs ] victoria and billy are having some issues . victor : [ sighs ] mm ! what else is new ? i knew it was too good to be true to last . you know , the moment he left jabot , i - i smelled there was trouble . nikki : now , victor . victor : sweetheart , all this nonsense that he claimed that he had finally put things together , all things were going well for him -- it 's a cover . nikki : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . there 's no need to jump to the worst - case scenario . victor : but , baby , what 's going on with him ? nikki : victoria confided in me , so i 'm not going to get into details , but she 's hoping that they can work everything out . victor : i do n't need any details . i know that he is nothing but trouble for her . i mean , how often has he hurt her ? he 'll continue to do so ! nothing new about that . billy : vic ? will you look at me , please ? vic ? what do i have to do to prove to you that i do n't have some dangerous internal battle raging inside of me ? i am a flawed human . i accept that . and if you can accept that , and if you can have faith in me , then we 're gon na be okay . victoria : i told you what i need you to do , billy . i 'm begging you . get help , because if you do n't , i guarantee you we 're not going to make it .

[ door opens , closes ] nikki : [ crying ] [ scene_break ] jack : [ sighs ] quick . tell me some good news . kyle : as you wish . we have confirmed that viva - surge 's sales started surging after bonaventure was under victor 's umbrella . jack : wait , we 're certain ? kyle : absolutely . now , there 's no way to prove that he had a direct hand in it , but there 's a very good chance that he was aware of what was going on in his own company . jack : so , that smug bastard put an unapproved substance on the market . kyle : and used the internet as an anonymous delivery system . jack : viva - surge very nearly killed summer and who knows how many other people . kyle : we need to alert the fda . jack : oh , no . more than food and drug . no , drug enforcement . the fbi will want to know about this , too . and victor will never see it coming . [ scene_break ] victor : rather disappointed to hear that you were leaving the country with chelsea and my grandson . adam : and why would you be disappointed ? you have plenty of other grandchildren , some of whom may not even need to be forced to be around you . some may even like you . victor : not the point , son . adam : summer , johnny , noah , reed , faith . victor : they 're my family . adam : i 'm your family . i took a bullet for you . that 's not even a turn of phrase . i actually got shot in the chest while protecting you . victor : and now you 're running away , is that it ? adam : no . i 'm simply choosing to remove myself to somewhere far , far outside of your world . victor : far away from the truth . adam : i have a family -- my own family . my wife believes in me . my son , he will grow up with me as i am now , not with all my baggage . victor : that baggage of your past has a funny way of following you wherever you are . it never leaves you . you either change your mind and stay in this town or i 'll go to the police and tell them that you are the hit - and - run driver that killed delia . the choice is simple . you stay in this town , raise my grandson here , or you have no life at all . i 'm sure you 'll make the right decision . adam : i will . [ scene_break ] chelsea : that 's the plan -- to leave genoa city and just start with a clean slate . billy : just go to europe and , uh , be free . chelsea : exactly . victoria : well , i think that it 's really exciting , you know ? it 's the kind of leap that people always talk about doing but they never make . chelsea : yeah . victoria : that 's great . chelsea : it 's true . there are a lot of things i 'm gon na miss about this town , but there 's also plenty of things that i 'm ready to leave behind me . [ chuckles ] billy : i 'm sure adam feels the same way . victoria : i think it 'll be a great change for him , you know ? he 'll be able to get away from dad and the past . chelsea : yeah . adam 's the first person to admit he 's made mistakes . there are people that he 's hurt , but i do n't think he should spend the rest of his life being punished for them . billy : oh . he 's being punished now ? chelsea : no , i mean , i just think he 's trying to be a better man . look at the foundation he set up in delia 's name . he did n't even want credit for that . he did n't even tell me that he did that . [ chuckles ] victoria : why did he do it ? chelsea : uh , i think he was just looking towards the future . i think he wants connor to grow up and be proud of him . billy : yeah . that kid does deserve a bright future . victoria : billy , are you okay ? billy : i will be . [ scene_break ] avery : i really do have to go . dylan : yeah . avery : mm - hmm . [ laughing ] this ca n't be good for business . dylan : oh , i 'd prefer private anyway . avery : i do , too . dylan : so ? elsewhere ? avery : okay . dylan : okay . you got to get back to work . avery : i know . i have phone calls to return and e - mails to respond to , and you 've got work to do around here , too , right ? dylan : yeah , i 've got work to do . how about a romantic night out later ? dinner , wine , dancing ? avery : dancing ? dylan : [ chuckles ] if it makes you happy . avery : no , you make me happy . and i love the idea of a romantic night out . dylan : then i 'll make the reservation . avery : okay . dylan : [ exhales ] [ scene_break ] jack : we have to time this just right . it does n't all fall out at once . one department at a time . victor : well , it looks as if i 'm interrupting something rather serious . jack : oh , gee . i thought , somehow , i 'd get through the rest of the day without seeing you again . kyle : i 'm very glad that summer is okay . victor : no thanks to your dad . kyle : see , i 've got a problem with that . jack : kyle , kyle . kyle : it 's why i 'm glad i ran into you . victor : something you 'd like to say ? kyle : with all due respect , the way that you 're blaming my father for what happened on that photo shoot -- unwarranted . jack : kyle -- kyle : those drugs being there -- not his fault . jack : thank you . i do n't need you defending me . victor : no , jack . you should be grateful to your son that he 's ready to defend you , because by the time i 'm done with you , they 'll be very few people willing to come to your side . jack : [ chuckles ] as always , overestimating your reach and power . victor : and as always , you are underestimating it . summer could have died because of you . i lay the blame at your feet , and you will be held responsible . i 'll make sure everyone knows about that . as you said quite aptly , the buck stops with the man at the top . jack : i could n't agree more . kyle : which is why i wanted to say to you -- i quit . jack : uh -- . victor : really ? well , now , i 'll be damned . you saved me the trouble of firing you , kyle . you young bucks think you 're really smart , do n't you ? do you honestly believe that i was n't aware of what you were doing while you were working for me ? you were spying for your dad . too bad . i had hopes for you . you 're good at what you do . kyle : and i actually looked forward to working with you . but i did learn a lot at newman - chancellor . victor : good . kyle : i 'm gon na go work out . see you later . jack : you thought you could have my son . you could n't . and now you 're holding something over your own son 's head to get what you really want -- your grandson . too bad . adam 's leaving . victor : is he now ? [ scene_break ] adam : i 'm gon na eat you ! [ smooches ] come here . come here . we got to have a little talk . i have to say goodbye for a little while . i would never be at peace with myself , i would never deserve your respect , and i would never get out from underneath your grandfather 's thumb no matter how far away i go . i love you . connor : [ babbles ] adam : i know . you love me , too . i love you so very much -- you and your mom . i 'll be back with both of you as soon as i pay for my crime -- a crime that i need to face , a crime i 'm ready to face .

[ sighs ] every day for the rest of our lives , adam and i will think about delia , about what your loss meant to us and our son . johnny : [ crying ] victoria : well , i guess johnny did n't want to miss saying goodbye to you . okay . you want to ? chelsea : yeah . victoria : okay . he 's such a little stinker . you should see -- [ indistinct conversation ] [ scene_break ] dylan : okay . hey . nikki : hey . dylan : did you get my message ? that indiana was a dead end ? i know that 's what you were hoping for , and it 's okay , 'cause i 've decided that maybe it 's for the best i did n't find ian ward . nikki : well , ian found me . he 's here in genoa city . [ scene_break ] victor : you have got plenty of your own problems to deal with , jack . lots on your plate . you 're gon na have to deal with that before you insert yourself into my business . jack : your business is treating your son like dirt his entire life . finally walking away , turning his back on you , and setting his life in a new direction . victor : that boy is very pragmatic . in the end , he 'll make a pragmatic decision . [ scene_break ] victoria : billy . where is he ? [ chuckles ] so weird . chelsea : oh . you know what ? maybe i upset him . victoria : oh , no . you know what ? he was already having a bad night before you got here . i 'm sure he just went somewhere to blow off some steam or something . so , you 're making some , uh , pretty big moves -- marriage , moving to paris . are you sure you 've thought all this through ? chelsea : paris was always the dream . it just got sidetracked there for a little while . victoria : but it 'll give you a chance to start over . chelsea : in the most romantic city in the world . adam and i can fall in love with each other all over again , and this time , with our son . victoria : yeah . chelsea : honestly , things could n't be better . may i ? victoria : yeah . chelsea : hey . hi , buddy . oh ! you are so big compared to connor , are n't you ? oh , johnny , you will always be my firstborn . and i am so happy that you are gon na have the best life ever with your mommy and daddy . they are gon na take care of you and give you everything you could ever want . you be a good boy , okay ? always listen to them , okay ?

[ laughs ] these are not the stories that an impressionable young man should be subjected to . i think he might be able to have a better role model than you . billy : gee , thank you for that . jill : but the truth is , he could do a hell of a lot worse . considering everything , you 've turned out pretty damn good . billy : that 's funny . i was gon na say the same thing about you . cane : i think i 'm going to have the chicken carbonara . and ... your dad has a point . lily : are you serious ? cane : about the chicken ? sweetheart , your brother 's dealing with the fact he almost died in that accident . that is a lot for anybody to process . lily : they would n't have released him from the hospital if he was n't strong enough physically and mentally . cane : and the doctors told us how upsetting it 's gon na be for devon if he finds out the truth , so your dad probably just made a decision that considering what 's going on , it is not the right time for devon to make life- altering choices . lily : well , now that he knows the truth , there 's no reason for him to keep hilary in his life any longer than he has to . cane : really ? 'cause , you see , i can think of about 2.4 billion and 1 reasons that he 's doing this . lily : oh , and one ? cane : he does n't have a prenup with this woman . lily : look , i 'm the one who made the argument before that he should wait to divorce her . cane : right . lily : but this time it 's different . he could have died because of her . she is toxic . he needs to get her out of his life as soon as possible . cane : okay , but she 's all about the status that comes with being mrs. devon hamilton . that comes with a lot of perks , all right ? and she 's not gon na give up with at least half of his assets , if not all of them . what are you talking about ? lily : then you know what ? he can hire an army of lawyers to make sure that she does n't see a cent . cane : okay . and she 's gon na hire an army of lawyers to keep him in court for years . lily : fine , then give her -- give her a big settlement . make her go away . it 'll be a small price to pay for his freedom . devon : you 're still here ? hilary : uh , yeah . i was n't sure . you did n't -- you did n't tell me to go , so i ... thought maybe i could answer your question . devon : did i give you enough time to come up with a lie to tell me ? 'cause i can get some more water . hilary : devon , i understand why you 're skeptical , okay ? i lied . i 've lied a lot . but i 'm telling the truth this time . i am . devon : i 've seen that `` plead for forgiveness `` look in your eyes before , and i 'll bet you anything you 're gon na start crying next , then making a bunch of promises that you never intend to keep . hilary : not this time , devon . devon : no ? hilary : no . i want to do right by you . devon : well , to do that , you have to give up everything . hilary : okay . devon : you 're gon na give up everything ? hilary : if that 's what 's gon na bring you peace , yeah , absolutely . devon : oh , please . i give that all of half a day before you start sniffing around , hoping that i change my mind . and then if that does n't work , you 'll probably do what you threatened before and take me to court to get as much as you can out of me . hilary : devon -- devon : so let 's skip that . and i 'll tell you what . i will make a generous deposit into your account today . and then ... i do n't want to see you again . we 'll both get what we want . you 'll be set for life . and you 'll be out of mine . hilary : no . devon : that 's not enough money ? [ laughs ] hilary : devon , you 're not understanding what i 'm trying to -- devon : no , i do understand . i do understand . you just never cease to amaze me . i mean , so much for giving up everything to make me happy . hilary : i do n't want your money . any of it . devon : what are you doing ? hilary : well , telling you has n't worked , so i 'm gon na show you . credit cards -- one , two , three . oh , and this was an anniversary gift . devon : hilary . hilary : valentine 's day present . oh , this was just because . and this dress . i saw it at fashion week . i had to have it , so you -- you bought it for me , so ... devon : hilary , that 's enough . stop it , okay ? i get your point . hilary : i just want you to be happy , devon . devon : and why now ? why are you so willing to give up everything this time ? hilary : because loving me can kill you . you ran as far and as fast as you could to get away from me , and you ended up in the hospital , all because i lied . and come on , we both know i 'm gon na do it again , [ voice breaking ] because that 's who i am . that 's what i do . i do n't want you to be collateral damage , so i am walking away . and i 'm not holding on , because you -- you deserve someone great . you deserve someone who could truly make you happy . devon : yeah , you 're right . i do . you know what else you 're right about ? that you 're not gon na change . not for me , not for this relationship , or for love , 'cause you are who you are . and you know something ? that night on new year 's eve when i stormed off , i said that you are my weakness . and that is something i have n't been able to change . and i hate myself for it .

'cause i 'm getting the feeling that you 're not happy about me modeling again . chelsea : hey , neighbor . is everything all right ? hilary : hey , chelsea . um , i 'm sorry about the boxes in the hallway . somebody 's gon na come and take them away really soon . chelsea : you 're moving out already ? huh . i hope it 's not my fault . i know i tend to sing really loud , but i did n't think that anybody could hear me . did -- did something happen to devon ? hilary : yeah . me . chelsea : hilary , couples have trouble all the time . i 'm sure it can be fixed . hilary : yeah , well , not this time . the wounds are too deep . scars are permanent . jill : well , well , well . it 's good to see you out and about . you 're looking well . devon : thank you , jill . jill : i take it this is not a celebration , huh ? devon : no , it 's actually a , uh , more like a funeral for my marriage . all that 's left is to shovel the dirt on top of the grave . jill : oh , sweetie . i would offer you my condolences , but the truth is , i really never liked your wife . devon : [ chuckles ] i do appreciate your honesty , jill . jill : but i am sorry that you have to deal with the aftermath . devon : i 'm trying not to . that 's why i 'm here . she 's back at home packing and wo n't be there when i get back . jill : good . smart way to handle it . devon : to be honest , not even the breakup is the worst part . it 's the realizing how we got to this place and the person that i 've become in the process . ca n't help think about how disappointed katherine would be . she left me most of her money , and all i 've done is try and spend it on keeping someone that she 'd never approve of . jill : yeah , what i would n't give to see a faceoff between katherine and hilary . i 'm sorry . devon : i 'm just really glad that she 's not here to see how irresponsible and reckless i 've become . jill : are you talking about the accident , honey ? devon : i sure am . i spent an absurd amount of money on a car that i do n't need and wreck it in the same night . and if somebody else had been on the road , i could have killed them , being stupid . what do you think katherine would say about something like that ? jill : i think she would have said you made a mistake . and i do n't think she would have judged you , because trust me , katherine chancellor was no saint . that old fossil made plenty of mistakes of her own . jill : devon , you ca n't spend your life worrying about what katherine would think of you , honey . and she certainly would n't want you comparing yourself to her . things are gon na go wrong . you 're gon na mess up . she did . hmm . and most of the time , it was thanks to this . jill : and you do realize that there 's a difference between getting sober and staying sober ? kay : i am aware of that ! yes , yes , yes ! jill : good luck , katherine . godspeed . kay : i 'm not doing this for you , you know , or anybody else . i 'm doing it for me . katherine chancellor . jill : look , your world is upside down right now . but here 's the good news . you have katherine 's blood in you . and that means that you 're a fighter . it also means you 're a survivor . and let 's not forget what she used to say . she used to say that how a person deals with adversity is the measure of that person . so you take those words to heart . chelsea : i 've been in your shoes before , hilary . adam and i , we had ups and downs in our marriage . some i thought were insurmountable . but we always found our way back to one another . hilary : i want devon to be happy . and it 's pretty clear that that ca n't happen if he 's with me . chelsea : devon loves you . and you love him . obviously you would n't be this upset if you did n't love him . hilary : every single problem in our marriage is because of me . i 've manipulated , i 've lied , i 've schemed my way back into his heart time and time again , and i do n't want to do that anymore . [ sighs ] he ... he 's given me so much . and not just possessions . he believed in me . i 've never had that before . but now it 's gone , because he 's never gon na trust me again , so , um ... i 'm sorry , but i need to finish packing before he gets back , so ... chelsea : okay , um , if you need any help ... hilary : no , no , it 's okay . i need time to think . you know , what i 'm gon na do next , where i 'm gon na go . chelsea : i know . the uncertainties , they can be daunting . i had a -- i had a perfect vision for my family 's future , and then ... adam died . and it was all just ... gone . hilary : how did you cope ? chelsea : you know , i 'm still coping . you know , you just have to look forward . step by step , piece by piece . you have to face every challenge one at a time , because if you take a step back and look at the full , big picture , it can be paralyzing . and i ca n't do that because i have a son to take care of and i need to be strong for connor . you know , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm not saying this to upset you . hilary : oh , no , it 's -- it 's ... [ chuckles ] before everything came crashing down , devon said that he wanted to have a baby . [ voice breaking ] and it was a shock because i wanted to have one , too . having a baby with a man that you love can only make your bond stronger , so i did n't have to think twice . it was one of the few times that i was actually telling the truth . and , you know , for a brief moment there , i ... actually thought that i could have it all . perfect husband , career , a happy family . lily : look , i - i said yes before i had a chance to talk to you about it , and that was wrong . we did n't even discuss how it 's gon na change our lives or affect mattie and charlie , so i understand why you 're upset with me . cane : i 'm not upset with you for taking this job . i 'm not . i really do have some work i have to do , so it 's okay , you know . lily : are you sure ? cane : yeah . yeah , yeah , yeah . i 'm sure . i 'm just kind of irritated i got left out in the , uh , decision - making process again . lily : okay . cane : i know how much this job means to you . i do . and you 're gon na be great . you 'll be great for this brand , you know , and , um ... look at you . look how beautiful you are . you know that ? you 're a natural at this . and the world -- the world should see you . lily : but ? cane : okay , all right . there is -- there 's something that 's kind of bugging me . lily : what is it ? cane : i do n't know if i want to share you with the world . there you go . lily : oh , cane . i was gon na rip up my contract for you . cane : well , see , this is a very legitimate concern . lily : [ chuckles ] well , anything i can do to ease your mind ? cane : hmm . let me think . lily : what about this ? cane : see , this is a very good start . oh , and i 'm definitely starting to come around . my mind 's at ease now . lily : well , i 'll let you get to work , then . cane : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . [ both chuckle ] cane : work can wait . we need to go and celebrate your new job . that 's what we need to do . lily : hmm . cane : hmm ? lily : well , it looks like everyone is gone for the day . we could celebrate right now . what do you think ? cane : i think it 's a very good idea . lily : [ chuckles ] [ door opens ] victoria : reed ! what is going on ? reed : nothing . uh ... victoria : you 're supposed to be babysitting your brother and sister , not ... that . i did n't give you permission to have a friend over . reed : you did n't not give me permission . victoria : stop it right now . this is totally unacceptable . billy : hey , maybe we should just take a breath here . reed : mom , just calm down . victoria : no , you just stop with the attitude ! reed : johnny and katie are fine ! i mean , i did n't do anything wrong . billy : come on , vick , not in front of ... victoria : who 's your friend here , huh ? reed : zoey . victoria : oh , hi , zoey . i 'm reed 's mom . zoey : uh , nice to meet you . victoria : yeah , nice to meet you . i guess i should call your parents and have them come pick you up ? do they know where you are and what you 're doing ? reed : oh , god , you are the worst . devon : you know something , jill ? my whole life has been a whole pile of lies . start with my mom lying about being able to take care of me . i ended up in foster care . my wife hilary lied when she said her vows . she never loved or honored me . hell , katherine even lied when she kept the truth about my biological father from me . fast - forward a couple years , and i inherit most of her fortune . and i 'll tell you , sometimes i wish i had n't 'cause it 's not like i earned it . jill : well , she wanted to give it to you . she must have had her reasons . devon : if she 'd just left me her vinyl collection like i had hoped for , life would be two billion times easier . jill : i do n't think she believed in making any of our lives easier . that 's why she did n't leave you instructions on how to deal with your newfound wealth . devon : yeah . jill : but i 'll tell you one thing . devon : what 's that ? jill : i think she had faith in you . i think she knew that you would figure it out . devon : maybe one day i will . hilary : so i am all alone , no family , no place to live , and i 'm pretty sure that i 'm gon na be out of a job real soon . chelsea : listen , i know right now it feels like it 's the end of the world , but i 've learned that even after the hardest , most painful loss , good things can happen again . once the shock wears off and , you know , you feel all the hurt , you realize that you still have yourself . you realize there are possibilities that you never even considered . so starting over and reinventing yourself can sometimes be a blessing . reed : sorry . i 'll see you later . zoey : see you around , then . good luck . victoria : unh - unh . billy : hey , vick , just let him go . victoria : come back here . reed : what ? victoria : inviting a girl over here , making out with her is the opposite of being responsible . what if your brother or sister had come downstairs ? reed : [ scoffs ] so what ? we 're -- we 're kissing . it 's not like we 're having sex in the middle of the living room . victoria : sex ? ! you 're 15 ! reed : that 's something you 're totally missing . i mean , that 's what kids do at my age . victoria : no , there 's no way you 're ready for sex . reed : yes , i am . i mean , billy told me everything i need to know about it . [ next_on ] gloria : what are we drinking to ? lauren : your specialty -- backstabbing . gloria : huh . sharon : if dylan is suffering because of something that i did , i would never be able to forgive myself . small samples . it 's gon na take awhile to get a dna match . paul : i have to find out what happened to my son !

[ intercom buzzes ] oh , that must be the maid of honor . oh , thank you , god . i have so much to do , babe . i do n't have enough time . m - my -- my hair , my makeup . i 'm a total mess . rey : okay , relax . you could be wearing a brown - paper bag , and you would still be the most beautiful girl in the world . lola : stop ! what are you even doing ? rey : i was about to kiss my wife . lola : no ! no kissing . not yet . after the wedding . right now , you are just her groom , and you have no right to be here . rey : okay , where am i supposed to go ? lola : uh , you 're going to my place . i 'm gon na text arturo right now and let him know that you are on your way . he has the tuxedos , and you guys will get ready there . rey : you know , lola , it 's so much simpler getting dressed here . lola : rey , it 's out of the question . you ca n't see the bride in her gown , okay ? mia : [ inhales sharply ] lola : let 's go . out . rey : [ grunts ] love you . mia : love you ! lola : save it for the ceremony , guys . out ! whew ... okay . you only have on do- over , and we 're going to do this do - over right . now let 's make you even more gorgeous . mia : [ squeals ] ohh ! kyle : i thought you liked weddings . abby : i do . usually . but this is just another opportunity for mia 's ego to shift into overdrive . i am only going to support the best man . kyle : i like mia . but she can sometimes be kind of , uh ... abby : extra ? kyle : [ chuckles ] most definitely extra . abby : mm . kyle : you promise you 'll be on best behavior ? abby : me ? well , she 's the one that 's -- [ sighs ] see ? see ? i am smiling . and every time you see this smile , just know i am thinking of the million other places i would rather be . billy : oh , i know the feeling . i 'd rather be anywhere bu here right now . abby : what 's wrong ? billy : one word -- phyllis . victoria : can i get you anything ? sharon : i was gon na ask you the same thing . are you all right ? victoria : yeah , fine . what brings you by ? sharon : well , something happened last night , and i was n't sure i should say anything . victoria : about what ? sharon : phyllis thinks that she and i should forge an alliance to protect ourselves against you and nikki . victoria : what did you tell her ? sharon : do you even have to ask ? i mean , it 's phyllis . victoria : [ sighs ] that 's very upsetting . but it 's not surprising . sharon : well , i thought you might want to know . you know , the minute she starts feeling threatened , she lashes out at anybody in her path . victoria : she already has . sharon : to who ? victoria : me . and she wo n't be satisfied until she ruins my life . additional sponsorship victoria : sorry about that . [ sighs ] sharon : that 's okay . please . phyllis brings out that reaction in just about everybody . what did she do this time ? victoria : i ca n't even talk about it . it hurts so much . sharon : does it have to do with the whole j.t . thing ? is there someone you can talk to about it ? your mom ? victoria : i 've mentioned some of it to her , but she 's got her hands full . sharon : what about billy ? victoria : no . not billy . no . sharon : well , i guess that means you 're stuck with me . you know , after everything we 've been through together , i am a vault . i know i do n't have my license , but i 've been told that i 'm a pretty good listener . maybe we can both find a way to handle whatever this is . okay ? victoria : okay . sharon : so ... the way that you mentioned billy makes me think this has something to do with him , as well ? victoria : yeah . sharon : i 've noticed how close you two have been getting lately . victoria : everyone has noticed . including phyllis . sharon : oh , i bet she hated that . even though she has nick now . victoria : she can just be so heartless . sharon : she is hard to deal with on a good day . when she gets jealous , look out . so , how bad was it ? victoria : she told me that before billy and i started getting close again ... he asked her to get back together with him , and she turned him down . sharon : and that made you feel like billy was rebounding , and you were his second choice . victoria : what do you think ? sharon : i think that she is small - minded and spiteful , and as dangerous as a cobra . you should n't let anything that phyllis says shake your confidence in what you know is right and true and good . and as for billy , he 's crazy about you . he 's always going to be , and that 's unshakeable . victoria : i think i ... just shook it . sharon : how so ? victoria : i do n't even want to say this out loud . sharon : victoria , you never do the unspeakable . victoria : all right . a couple of weeks ago ... i kissed cane . sharon : okay . victoria : and then [ sighs ] after phyllis spit her poison at me , i kissed him again . thankfully , billy walked in on us , otherwise i do n't know what would have happened . it just feels like everything 's falling apart , and i do n't know what to do . i really do n't even know who i am anymore . abby : exactly why is phyllis involving herself in your love life ? billy : that 's a very good question . kyle : ooh ! i know . i know . ca n't stand to see other people happy ? billy : ding , ding ! i think we have a winner . abby : no matter what is going on with victoria , it does n't mean that it has to be over between the two of you . billy : oh , abby , that is only part of the story . abby : just talk to her . billy : yes , i have tried . abby : you love her ? try again . billy : [ sighs ] everything was going exactly the way it should be going , and then in walks phyllis . kyle : ah , you mean hurricane phyllis , the unnatural disaster . strikes without warning , destroys everything you know and love , and leaves a body count in her wake ? billy : you know you 're talking about our boss ? kyle : and she does n't tolerate insubordination or sabotage . so if you want to keep that job you love so much , you 'll do what she does . billy : which is ... ? kyle : compartmentalize . the stock - in - trade of every good sociopath . every part of your life goes into a separate box . personal stuff , this box over here . professional stuff , that box over there . and never , ever should you mix the two again . phyllis : when you told me about that poker that showed up at your house , i was positive that it was false evidence that someone planted . so i went to the storage unit to make sure that it was safe , and it was gone . and i freaked out . i had no idea what to do . nikki : and yet you kept that vital piece of information to yourself . phyllis : because i knew this is exactly how you would react . nikki : who else knew about the storage locker ? phyllis : no one . i covered my tracks . i paid cash for a year in advance , so there are no digital trails . nikki : maybe somebody at the storage facility got curious . phyllis : even if someone saw me and had gone peeking inside , there is no way they would connect it to you or j.t . nikki : well , then , how did that poker get from storage to my fireplace ? phyllis : i have no idea . i do n't know . all i can think about is someone has been watching us or tracking our moves since j.t . died . nikki : okay , wait a minute . you actually think that somebody saw what we did , and then held onto it for months , and then , out of the blue , suddenly started planting false evidence to incriminate victor and me ? phyllis : it 's what our blackmailer did . it 's the only thing that makes sense right now . nikki : oh , come on . none of this makes sense . phyllis : instead of asking ourselves how , we need to start wondering who is targeting you and victor . nikki : well , you know what ? after listening to you , the only person i need to worry about is the traitor sitting in front of me . rey : what do you think ? how do i look ? arturo : you look like a million bucks . rey : tie ? arturo : sitting straight . looking good , man . rey : [ chuckles ] well , i guess i 'm all set . arturo : you got a second chance with the woman you love , rey . and i could n't be happier for you . it definitely has n't been easy , but you guys always found your way back to each other , every time . that 's real love . hold onto it . rey : it means a lot , you being here . feels like we have wiped the slate clean . time to start a new chapter in our life . arturo : i wish you the best of luck , man . devon : now , i think you were about to explain to me why you could n't trust your own brother . ana : you make it sound so awful . devon : it is . ana : we both know no one can hurt you worse than family . devon : touché . ana : well , not you . never you . devon : mm - hmm . ana : but i was still afraid . music is everything to me . what if you did n't like my work ? devon : then i would have told you the truth . what if i did like it ? ana : that would still be a problem . i thought , if i let you hear my work , i had to have your honest , unbiased opinion . that way , if -- big if -- you released one of my songs ... devon : mm - hmm . ana : ... no one could accuse you of nepotism . devon : mm , okay . so you were doing this to help me out . ana : to help both of us out . devon : okay . well , you know that nobody holds it against janet jackson or solange knowles because their siblings made a name for themselves first . ana : oh . so we 're a dynasty now ? devon : maybe we are , yeah . could be . why do n't you tell me this -- why do n't you tell me why you wanted to be paid outright for the song and forfeit all your future profits . are you in trouble ? victoria : would you just stop being so nice to me and say something ? i kissed a married man . sharon : sometimes people have feelings that they ca n't control , even if the other person is in a relationship . i 'm certainly in no position to judge you . but , um ... cane ? victoria : i know . sharon : i thought you two hated each other . victoria : `` hate `` is not strong enough of a word after what he did to my company . i will never forgive him . sharon : so , then , why ? victoria : i do n't know . it 's -- it 's not as if i 'm attracted to him , or -- or need him in my life in any way . sharon : no , i mean , why do you think you acted out like that ? i know the secret we 're keeping is eating away at all of us in different ways , but you 've done a remarkable job of holding yourself together . and the kids look great , and the job is well . victoria : i 'm falling for billy again . and i ca n't let myself do that . because even though j.t . might be dead ... he 's far from gone . nikki : so , what else are you hiding ? phyllis : contempt for this topic of conversation . nikki : do you happen to have j.t . 's corpse in cold storage , too ? phyllis : you really are out of your mind . nikki : you 're the only one with the means and the motive to bring all of this to light . and you already said that you would be happy if victor went to prison to save us . phyllis : if i 'm the one that planted that evidence , why would i use the poker ? it is covered in your dna . it is covered in your fingerprints . not victor 's . nikki : [ scoffs ] if you were able to get j.t . 's blood on that shirt at the stables , i 'm sure you could have found a way to get victor 's prints on that poker . phyllis : police have no idea that j.t . was bludgeoned to death . they think it 's a gun still . why would i get rid of something that proves my innocence ? nikki : phyllis , i have no idea why you do half of the things you do , but i 'm sure you have your reasons . phyllis : if i had any idea that your hate runs this deep for me -- nikki : what ? you would have gone to the police ? [ scoffs ] it 's no secret that you loathe my husband . and you 've already said that you did n't trust me to protect you . phyllis : i lied . for you . for several months . i pretended like i had no idea what happened to j.t . i helped you bury the body . i kept my mouth shut when anyone mentioned his name . nikki : why on earth would i believe you now ? phyllis : because i 'm telling you the truth . nikki : i do n't believe you know how . and i do n't believe a word that falls out of that mouth . [ door slams ] ana : whoever came up with the idea of giving college students credit cards was an evil genius . that much freedom and that much power at the same time ? a blessing and a curse . devon : mm . so you got yourself in some debt . ana : i was living the life . devon : [ chuckles ] ana : dinners out with friends , concerts . pretty luxe , you know ? and now that i look back , totally ridiculous . and then , after graduation , while i was trying to land a job , the debt got deeper . i sold hooks on social media to keep the lights on , but if neil had n't brought me back to gc , i do n't know what i would have done . devon : you could have come to me for help . ana : you paid my tuition . you 've already done enough . i got myself into this debt . i want to get myself out . by myself . devon : fair enough . so , what 's the part that you 're leaving out ? kyle : congratulations , rey . rey : thanks . glad you could make it . abby : i wish you every happiness you deserve . rey : i appreciate you being here . kyle : i have n't seen lola yet . arturo : maid of honor . she 's with the bride . kyle : eh , of course . um ... i think i 'm gon na call her , see if she needs anything . arturo : hey , you , uh -- you 're looking a little nervous , kyle . rey : are you worried that my brother and i are gon na give you another grilling about your relationship with our little sister ? arturo : nah . no , he 's not nervous , are you ? kyle : of course not . rey : [ sighs ] arturo : you see ? rey : good , good . because we have a couple more questions . kyle : right . arturo : nothing too excruciating . kyle : sure . i mean , she is your little sister , so , uh ... [ both snicker ] rey : just joking with you , bro . arturo : take a breath , man . lighten up . kyle : yeah . that 's a ... really good one . rey : uh - huh . uh ... i 'm gon na go check in with lola . arturo : heh . abby : [ chuckles ] arturo : oh , my . do n't you know it 's bad form to outshine the bride ? abby : mm , you always know the right thing to say . and you look incredible in this tux . arturo : really ? abby : mm - hmm . arturo : it 's mia 's orders . abby : yes , of course . it would be just like her to turn an intimate ceremony into a , um -- you know what ? i hope this is the day that she always wished for . i 'm gon na go check my coat and my attitude . [ chuckles ] arturo : hey , before you go ... i just want to let you know , it means a lot to me that you 're here . abby : where else would i be ? i 'm yours . arturo : and i 'm yours . and i promise i 'm gon na make sure you have a night you 'll never forget . abby : ohh . well , i 'll hold you to that . billy : so ? the new fragrance . phyllis : right . billy : [ sighs ] i think it would be a great idea if it was ready to go for valentine 's day , but kerry says that it needs more r & d , so i think we should push it for father 's day . it gives us time to finalize the packaging , get some ad time , maybe drum up some social - media interest . you 're not listening to a word i 'm saying , are you ? phyllis : no , every word . um ... talk to kerry in the morning . see if she ca n't set a timeline for that . we could at least try to get some samples to our retailers and give them away with our valentine 's purchases . billy : you think that that 's the best thing to do ? in my opinion , we 'd get a bigger push out of it if we just waited until father 's day . phyllis : i 'm really not in the mood for your second - guessing today , so ... billy : i 'm just trying to do my job , phyllis , and do it professionally . phyllis : speaking of professionalism -- or lack thereof -- last time we spoke , you accused me of setting off a series of events that culminated in you borrowing the company jet without permission . billy : i do n't think it 's a good idea to talk about unprofessional activities at work . phyllis : no , explain yourself . how did my telling victoria the truth about your relationship -- billy : a twisted version of the truth , as told by an overly interested third party . phyllis : how did what i said lead you to take an unauthorized trip at jabot 's expense ? billy : that conversation is for another time and another place . phyllis : no . you 're not gon na leave here until i get some answers . victoria : getting back together with j.t . was the worst mistake of my life . sharon : so you 're afraid that getting back together with billy will end in the same way ? you do n't trust him ? victoria : i just do n't trust myself . sharon : so you keep pushing him away , sabotaging the relationship before you get in too deep . victoria : even if we could possibly have some sort of a future together , i 'm not the person he thinks i am . i 'm an accessory to murder . sharon : nikki did n't intend to kill j.t . she was trying to stop him from killing you . and you kept quiet about it to protect her . victoria : [ sighs ] do n't you see ? everything leads back to my decision to reunite with j.t . that choice did n't just affect me . it touched my loved ones . it touched everyone that i know . i ca n't let anyone get close to me because they 're just gon na end up getting hurt . sharon : that is not true , victoria . you 've got to stop punishing yourself for being involved with a man who did n't value you . because now you do n't value yourself . you did n't do anything to deserve all of this pain . you 're a good person . listen , you trust me , right ? victoria : of course . sharon : okay , so if i say something , you 're gon na believe me ? victoria : yes . sharon : hold on to this -- you deserve every bit of happiness that life wants to offer you . and if you think you ca n't find that with billy , you 've dug down to the quiet place in your heart , and you know that he 's not the right man for you , then fine . have a conversation with him and end it like respectable adults . but if you think you 're too flawed or damaged to be with billy , a man who adores you , scars and all , you could n't be further from the truth . victoria : [ scoffs ] sharon : he makes you laugh ? and you love him ? and he loves you ? do n't cut yourself off from all the good things that could happen just because you 're afraid of the bad . you have so much love to give , and you are so worthy of being loved . victoria : thank you . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . devon : so you were ashamed to ask for help ? ana : i should have managed my money better . and i came to gc to help you . devon : well , that 's exactly what you 've done . you being here and helping me and supporting me has been priceless . so if i want to do something for you , let me do it . ana : there is something you can do . devon : well , name it . ana : let me keep writing for fen and the artists in your catalog anonymously . devon : well , of course you 're gon na keep writing for fen if you want to . but are you sure you want to stay incognito ? ana : the small taste of fame i got when i was younger , that was enough to convince me i 'm happier behind the scenes . devon : most people with your talent do n't want to stay -- ana : i 'm not most people . the only other person who knows i wrote the song is fen . think we could keep it that way ? devon : yeah . if you ever change your mind -- ana : you 'll be the first to know . devon : okay . good enough . [ both chuckle ] lola : the bride has arrived , and she 's ready to make her entrance . are you ready ? rey : i 'm as ready as i 'll ever be . lola : okay . arturo , music . [ mendelssohn 's `` wedding march `` plays ] sharon : i 'm sorry i 'm late . rey : no , you 're just in time . i 'm glad you could make it . sharon : me too . rey : [ chuckles ] nikki : i just found out some rather disturbing news about phyllis . victoria : me too . nikki : you first . victoria : sharon told me that our gang of four [ sighs ] is now a trio , and that we can no longer rely on phyllis . nikki : as if we ever could . victoria : what do you mean ? nikki : brace yourself . what i 'm about to tell you is gon na blow your mind . phyllis : if we 're gon na keep working together , successful as we have been , we have to clear the air , or we wo n't be working together at all . so what could i have possibly have said that led you to take the jet for a joyride ? billy : everything you say has ramifications . unexpected complications . and i 'm only telling you that so you can maybe learn from your mistakes and make a different choice next time . phyllis : that 's good coming from you , considering the stunts you pulled as c.e.o . and after . billy : do you want to hear about it , or do you want to enumerate my sins ? phyllis : yeah , well , i am on the edge of my seat . go ahead . billy : victoria was so upset by what you said that she ended up ... kissinga guy . phyllis : i lit a fire under the ice princess . i see . how did you find out ? billy : i saw them . phyllis : ouch . that had to hurt . but after what happened with summer -- billy : no , see , the point is , you were so blinded by wanting to hurt me and victoria that you did n't stop and think for one second what the ripple effect would be . phyllis : i still do n't see how a kiss led you to fly across the state . billy : did you look at the flight manifest , phyllis ? phyllis : yes , of course i did . billy : okay . phyllis : uh - huh . there 's a map . a lot of farms . and a women 's prison . is this prison the prison that lily was just moved to ? it is , is n't it ? i know that i saw victoria leave with cane after she blew up with you , s -- oh , my god . cane ? victoria kissed cane ? the noble tortilla was created phyllis : so victoria kissed cane . what did you do ? jump the jet so you could spill the tea to lily ? billy : she had a right to know . phyllis : how did she react ? billy : well , it 's a little too early to tell , but there was no histrionics . no table - flipping or yelling . she was ... she was calm . phyllis : well , that 's not a good sign . billy : you ca n't say anything , okay ? please . i do n't want charlie and mattie to find out . phyllis : cross my heart . i still have one , you know . but cane , yeah . i mean , given the way that victoria treated him , i never thought -- billy : yeah . phyllis : even if he was the last man on earth . billy : [ sighs ] tell me about it . phyllis : so , was it some kind of deep - seated crush ? billy : she 's furious and acting out because of what you said . i mean , what would you do if someone said that you were nick 's second choice ? that he 's only with you because he ca n't be with sharon ? phyllis : i can understand wanting someone to make her feel like she 's wanted again . but cane ... billy : yeah . crazy , right ? phyllis : yeah , it 's reckless . although he is kind of hot in a rough - and - rowdy kind of way . billy : geez . phyllis : go on . billy : well [ sighs ] i tried to talk to victoria about it . i tried to be , you know , patient , understanding , all of those things that i thought that she needed , and ... to be honest , i 'm not sure . she 's just -- she 's acting in a way that i do n't even recognize right now , and i -- i just -- i do n't get it . phyllis : well , i think i do . nikki : phyllis was hiding incriminating evidence . victoria : what evidence ? nikki : the fire poker . victoria : what ? ! she never tossed that in the lake ? nikki : mnh - mnh . she 'd been keeping it in a storage unit . victoria : was she the one who planted it at your house ? nikki : well , she claims she didn't . she says somebody must have stolen it and then put it there . victoria : [ sighs ] you did n't believe her , did you ? nikki : no , of course not . and the only thing i 'm convinced of right now is that phyllis is the one who 's trying to frame your father . the question is , what are we gon na do about it ? our hearts are filled with happiness as rey and mia rosales have come together today to renew their sacred vows . when you first joined together in marriage , you did n't know what the future would bring . and while life has given you many blessings , those years were not without their difficulties . and yet here you , ready to make those promises again to ensure that your marriage blossoms for years to come . rey . rey : [ sighs ] oh , mia . my love . six years ago , we made vows to honor and cherish each other for the rest of our lives . we have had our challenges , which sometimes seem too painful to forgive . too big to forget . but we 've grown . we have learned from each other . and about each other . when i look at you and see the strong , courageous , ambitious woman that you are ... mia : [ sighs ] rey : ... i know how lucky i am to still have you by my side . and i would n't change a thing . in this world of infinite possibilities , i still choose you . i will always choose you . for the rest of my life . mia : [ sighs ] rey : [ chuckles ] rey rosales . you are a miracle to me . the more i love you , the more i am loved . the more i give you , the more i receive . the more i forgive , the more i am forgiven by you . and i have a lot to be forgiven for . [ exclaims ] and yet you love me . that 's the biggest miracle of all . i am lost without your love . you are the other half of my heart . and i promise to always take care of that love . i will give to you much more than i receive . i will love you so much more than i am loved . for the rest of my life . [ sighs ] having heard the promises they 've made to each other , it gives me great pleasure to wish mia and rey a long and happy life together . please , celebrate this renewal of your vows with a kiss . mia : [ exhales softly ] [ applause ] rey : let the celebration begin . arturo : wait . i have to say something first . ( lisa ) one of these tax prep services lets more people file for free . your scent still lingers on my skin scrub as i may , i never win your eyes , they haunt my every night but worse than that is cruel daylight and i ca n't shake you the world may quake , but it wo n't break you and the memories oh , the memories of what you meant to me phyllis : you know , victoria 's not the same person as she was before . how could she be ? after everything she went through with j.t . , her mother almost died in a hit - and - run , victor was arrested for j.t . 's murder ... billy : everyone finding out at j.t . 's memorial that he abused her . phyllis : the thing is , you do n't get over that in a week . or even a month . those are deep wounds . deeper than she probably wants to admit . billy : that 's very perceptive of you , phyllis . so why did n't you think about that before you dropped a bomb on her ? phyllis : maybe i should have . billy : look , you 're not saying anything that i have n't said to myself a million times . i just thought maybe i could -- phyllis : be her knight in shining armor ? make her pain and problems go away with a kiss ? not that easy , galahad . & it 's never gon na be that easy where victoria 's concerned . so you 're gon na have to decide -- are you gon na put your big - boy pants on and put the work in ? or are you gon na cut and run ? victoria : there 's only one person who has any sway with phyllis -- nick . nikki : well , i do n't know if he 's gon na believe us . he might think that we 're using her as a scapegoat . and , of course , she 's gon na pretend to be the victim . victoria : he told us there is nothing more important to him than protecting us while he tracks down whoever 's been trying to frame dad . and he deserves to know that he 's sleeping with the enemy . nikki : uh ...

adam : no . here . look what i just bought . kyle : we 've been trying to acquire these guys for a while . summer : yeah , and they kept resisting because they were thinking , `` hey , we sell cosmetics , too . so , why ca n't we be as big as jabot ? `` kyle : until i ran the numbers to show them how much capital that would take . summer : mm - hmm . and i put together a marketing package that laid out all of the advantages of their brand being a subsidiary of jabot instead of a competitor . kyle : so , now they 're ready to talk , and i think we can close the deal . so , what do you think ? jack : what do i think ? well , when i walked in here , i thought i 'd give you an inspirational speech about how important this deal is to jabot and how critical it is that you get all your ducks in line . but after hearing this , i 'm the one who 's inspired . i clearly picked the right team for this trip . go get 'em ! lola : it 's nice to see you , fen . fen : yeah , it 's good to see you , too . lola : enjoy . devon : thank you . i got to say , man , really is great to have you back healthy and alert . warms my heart . fen : yeah . yeah , i really appreciate that . it 's super generous , actually , considering i screwed up the tour that lp bankrolled . look -- i 'm , i 'm really sorry . i 'll figure out a way to make it up to you . devon : no , you already have by getting treatment . and i mean that . i really do . you do n't have to beat yourself up over your addiction . fen : thank you . devon : yeah . and when you 're back on the road , gon na make sure to get you everything that you need -- counseling , a sobriety coach , just whatever it takes to help you make music again . fen : yeah , the whole time i was in rehab , that 's literally all i dreamed about . devon : does n't have to be a dream anymore , right ? we got club dates lined up for you , and if it goes well , there 's a promoter out west that 's interested , also . fen : look -- i really appreciate this . i mean , you have no idea , but i 'm going to have to pass . phyllis : hey , chance chancellor , man of mystery . chance : phyllis ! what a surprise seeing you here . phyllis : oh , you 're so funny . chance : you coming or going ?

additional sponsorship chelsea : you are just full of surprises , are n't you ? adam : what 's the surprise ? i told you that i was thinking about getting back into business . chelsea : yes , but i did n't know that you 'd be buying a tech company that specializes in video games . adam : well , it sounded like fun . chelsea : do you even know anything about video games ? adam : [ laughs ] just the ones i play with connor . chelsea : ah . adam : hey , this is a brilliant idea . we can -- we can put him on the payroll , and he can be our little game tester . do you approve of this ? look -- i 'm not going all - in on this . i 'm just dipping my toe back in the business world until something better comes along . chelsea : you know what ? why not video games ? adam : exactly . chelsea : except you did n't have to camp out here to make this big announcement . adam : yeah . yeah , i know . um , part of the other reason is because it 's connor 's first day at the new school . chelsea : oh . you wanted to be close by in case there was a problem . adam : mm - hmm . have you heard anything ? chelsea : uh , no . not yet , but that 's a good sign . it means he 's almost gotten through his first day , and we 've yet to hear from the principal . adam : oh , when are we not going to have to worry about that again ? chelsea : soon . i hope . adam : i just want him to be a happy , normal kid . chelsea : i know you do . so do i . adam : yeah . chelsea : mmm . oh , which reminds me . actually , um , i have to go get him soon . adam : ah ! will you let me know how it went ? chelsea : yeah . of course i will . adam : yeah ? chelsea : i got to go . adam : what ? chelsea : [ laughing ] i 'll ... i 'll see you later okay . adam : okay , fine . chelsea : okay . bye .

chloe : i just think it 's absolutely insane that you 're back together with adam . chelsea : i do n't want to hear it . chloe : just please listen to me . i really -- chelsea : chloe , stop it . i 'm about to go pick up connor from his new school . i promised him hot chocolate . why do n't you come along ? you can bring bella . the kids have n't seen each other in a while . it 'll be fun . chloe : that is so not fair . chelsea : what ? ! chloe : you proposing this play date to preempt me from reminding you that adam is the devil . chelsea : are we doing this , or what ? chloe : [ sighs ] phyllis : you 're taking a long time to say yes . chance : what makes you think that i 'm agreeing to go on a date with you ? phyllis : oh , you 're playing hard to get . chance : no , i 'm considering my options . phyllis : do you have a problem with woman doing the asking ? chance : women have asked me out before . phyllis : oh , okay , stud . maybe you have a problem with the word `` date . `` it 's just a dinner , unless your mind is going other places . chance : it isn't . phyllis : it isn't . chance : on my honor . phyllis : okay , well , being the last honorable man , maybe you feel loyalty to abby , and that is stopping you from having a succulent , delicious meal with me . chance : what do you think abby would say ? phyllis : well , she encouraged it . i mean , she told me -- what were her words exactly ? -- that she said to you , `` satisfy your curiosity . `` chance : she said that ? phyllis : yeah . chance : to you ? phyllis : yes , i think so , unless i have it wrong . chance : no , that -- that about sums it up . phyllis : are you curious ? chance : i think that abby might be confusing curiosity with interest . phyllis : it 's all the same to me . why do n't you pick me up at my place at 7 : 00 tomorrow ? chance : make it 8 : 00 . phyllis : okay . see you then . adam : what was all that about ? chance : you do not want to know . we have a problem . adam : [ sighs ] oh , god , please tell me it is not about phyllis because i am in too good a mood right now . chance : it 's not about phyllis . adam : thank god . chance : adam , she 's missing . she 's completely fallen off the radar . copd makes it hard to breathe devon : um ... i got to say , fen . i did not expect this from you at all . are you sure this is what you want ? fen : yeah , no , i 'm ... i 'm sure . i mean , it 'd be easy to pick back up where i left off except , you know , where i left off was trying to kill myself with drugs . so , i just do n't think i 'm ready to put myself back in that scene . you know , maybe someday but not now . devon : sure . fen : i do n't know . does that make any sense ? devon : yeah , of course it does . fen : and i - i want you to know how grateful i am for you just even taking a chance on me . but , you know , at the end of the day my sobriety has to come first . devon : i completely understand , and , to be honest , i 'm proud of you . fen : thanks . devon : yeah . even though it means that , uh , that lp will temporarily be losing the services of a very talented artist . fen : [ laughs ] `` temporarily , `` huh ? devon : yeah , man , i ... i have a feeling that we have n't heard the last of fen baldwin , and when the time is right and you 're ready , there will always be a place for you at lp . michael : ah ! what are we celebrating ? fen : hey , uh , i was just telling devon that i 'm not going to be touring anymore . lauren : wow . that took a lot of courage , honey . oh . devon : i 'm going to go ahead and let you guys catch up . we 'll be in touch , alright ? michael : good seeing you . devon : it was good to see you , too . lauren : good seeing you . michael : well ... i think that was the right call . fen : yeah , so do i . michael : and it 's like , you know , you 're not giving up performing . there are venues right here in genoa city . lauren : right ! look at all the places that tessa 's performing , and look what 's happening with her career . fen : yeah , no , she 's , uh , she 's rocking it , alright . michael : and selfishly i think it 's great that you would be close by so that we could check on our son day and night . lauren : [ laughs ] your dad 's just kidding . are n't you ? michael : of course . lauren : it 'll just be nice to see you more often . that 's all . fen : that would 've been nice , but ... lauren : would have been ? fen ? michael : he 's not staying . lauren : wha ... ? is that true ? fen : i 'm moving to nashville . kyle : thanks , dad , for everything . i promise we wo n't let you down . jack : the idea never crossed my mind . summer : well , plus , he 's going to have me there to keep an eye on him . kyle : right ! summer 's the real closer . i 'm just her wing man . summer : [ laughs ] jack : look at you two . i still remember when you were kids . now here you are , out representing the company , working so well together . i am so proud of you , and i say that not just as a ceo , but as someone who loves you both very much . go ahead . be on your way . good luck -- not that you need it . summer : thank you , jack . kyle : thanks , dad . jack : you bet . kyle : i 'll text you as soon as we find out . theo : hey , you guys ready for your big trip ? kyle : yeah . theo : fingers crossed for a big score . kyle : i have a good feeling about it . theo : excellent . summer : we should probably get going . theo : well , do n't let me hold you up . and do n't worry about anything here on the home front . i will hold down the fort until you get back . kyle : alright . thanks , man . i 'll be counting on you to do just that . chance : do you know something that i do n't ? adam : odds are , i know a lot of things that -- chance : i 'm talking about our missing friend , unless you forgot what went down in vegas . adam : look -- i have n't forgotten . chance : you do n't seem bothered with the fact that she 's completely fallen off the grid . adam : everything is under control chance : why ? because you say it is ? adam : everything is under control . so , would you just take it down a notch ? chance : really , adam ? you want me to practice discretion ? i have run more undercover ops than you have suits in your closet . adam : point taken . chance : what is going on ? adam : look -- she might be missing , but she 's not lost . chance : [ sighs ] adam : she 'll resurface soon enough . she has a check to cash . chance : what check ? adam : the one that i take care of every month . inside out chance : why am i just now hearing about you paying her ? adam : i covered my tracks . okay ? checks can not get traced back to me . chance : that was n't my question . adam : i did n't tell you because you worry too much , chance , just like you 're doing right now . chance : you and i have a lot at stake here . adam : mm . i 'm very aware of that . chance : anything that you do , i need to know about it five minutes ago . adam : okay . all you need to know is everything is under control . chance : in my line of work , that usually means you 're already in trouble . adam : [ sighs ] do you see what i mean ? you 're literally getting bent out of shape about nothing . so , she got off the grid . she will get back on when she needs the money . chance : why did you decide to pay her , anyway ? out of the kindness of your heart ? to keep tabs on her ? adam : i - i do n't see the two as mutually exclusive . okay , bottom line is , we want to know where she is at all times , right ? chance : alright , now we do n't ! adam : it 's a temporary condition . chance : adam , you had better be right . theo : it 's nice to know you 're confident i can handle things while you 're gone . kyle : i 'm sure you 'll meet every expectation . theo : good to know . kyle : so , is there anything else ? theo : i hope you guys crush the meeting in san francisco . kyle : that 's the plan . and thanks for the support , theo . theo : yeah . kyle : i mean it . theo : hey , try and squeeze in some fun while you 're out there , too , okay ? huh ? summer : okay , okay . who are you , and what have you done with kyle ? kyle : well , i finally decided to take your advice , lola 's advice , everyone 's advice , and not go nuts every time theo tries to bait me . summer : wow ! that 's a really great strategy , boss . kyle : oh , well , thanks . summer : mm - hmm . he 's not going to stop , you know . kyle : i do n't expect him to , but i 'll kill him with kindness until it drives him crazy . summer : well , it sounds like another suggestion that i might have passed along to you . kyle : i 'm a slow learner . summer : mm - hmm . kyle : but eventually i get there . i 'm sorry it took so long . summer : ah . you know , i kind of like this new kyle . maybe we can keep him around for a while , huh ? chloe : so , do you remember your friend connor when we used to live here ? [ gasps ] there they are ! chelsea : hi , bella . bella : hi . chelsea : what do you say ? connor : hey , bella . chelsea : oh , i have an idea . why do n't you guys go choose some music from the jukebox ? hmm ? what do you think about that idea ? bella : okay . chelsea : they 're holding hands ! chloe : i can't . i ca n't ! okay , so , when do we start planning the wedding ? and do n't tell me you were n't thinking the same thing . chelsea : would n't that be something ? connor and bella . chloe : well , we could dream , right ? chelsea : mm - hmm . ooh , and we 're gon na have another playmate on the way . do we know if it 's a boy or girl ? chloe : we don't . no , i -- i kind of want to keep it that way , but i secretly want another girl . chelsea : really ? chloe : yeah , i think , you know , just for bella to have a little sister to play dress - up with . i always wanted a little sister . chelsea : yeah , i always wanted a sister , too . chloe : well , maybe our wishes will come true . hey , um ... does ... does connor know about his eyes ? chelsea : uh , no , we have n't told him yet about the cornea transplant , but we have this ritual . every time he seems anxious or has a bad dream , we ask him , `` what do you see with your magic eyes ? `` because with those eyes he can only see good things . chloe : yeah , they are magic . this whole moment to me is magic . to be so close to delia , knowing that connor is looking at bella through her sister 's eyes ? [ sighs ] i 'm not being dramatic , right ? it 's -- it 's pretty special . chelsea : yeah , it 's very special . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . phyllis : so , you are trotting out the enchanted necklace . this must be a very important trip . summer : well , it is my lucky jewelry . phyllis : well , it was n't lucky for me . i 'm still unemployed . but hey , when did you become superstitious ? summer : i 'm not , really . i do n't know . just makes me feel good when i wear it . phyllis : you 're nervous . summer : yeah , maybe a little , okay ? phyllis : well , you 've been on other business trips . what 's so special about this ? summer : can i trust you not to say anything ? phyllis : of course . summer : i mean it , mom . phyllis : of course ! i swear . summer : okay . well , we 're actually in negotiations to buy this cosmetic company in san francisco , and kyle has the chance to close this deal . so , it 's a really big opportunity for him . phyllis : oh , that 's great . summer : yeah . phyllis : but i hope that you 're not putting kyle 's success ahead of your own . summer : absolutely not , no . phyllis : or getting some ideas about , you know ... summer : about what ? phyllis : never mind . summer : okay , i 'm well aware that he is a married man . so , i 'm not stupid . phyllis : i did n't say you was stupid . but even the smartest people can be very foolish when it comes to love . i know this . summer : okay , well , i 'm not one of those people . phyllis : okay . just trying to protect you . that 's all . summer : okay . well , i appreciate it , mom . phyllis : okay , subject closed . summer : thank you . phyllis : on the other hand ... summer : oh , god , i knew it . phyllis : ... if you decided to go for kyle -- i 'm not suggesting you do -- but if you decided to go for him , you could get him back like that . [ chuckles ] devon : hey . lola ? lola : oh , hi . uh , sorry . devon : it 's okay . is everything alright ? lola : sure . everything 's fine . devon : does n't sound like everything 's fine . lola : kyle and i got into a fight . devon : and ? lola : and it was pretty bad . devon : how bad we talking ? lola : loud and ugly . devon : i 'm sorry . lola : yeah . me too . devon : you know , from my personal experience , it 's pretty normal for married couples to fight from time to time and get loud and ugly . lola : i know , but kyle and i have n't fought like this before , and it really scared me . devon : i understand . well , you 're gon na get past it . you want to know how ? go make up with him . kyle : you have some time to talk before i go on my trip ? lola : of course i have time to talk . why would you think that i would n't ? fen : truth is , i decided to move to nashville because some sober friends of mine rented an apartment out there , and they just asked if i wanted to tag along with them . lauren : and that was it ? fen : pretty much . michael : i 'm sure your mother is hoping that you would stay in genoa city for a while . you 've got family here , friends , all the support you could ask for . fen : i know . i know , and i 'm i 'm so grateful , mom and dad . i really am , but i just -- i needed a change , you know , a fresh start , and nashville has a great music scene . i 've already got a job set up at a recording studio . i mean , this is gon na be good for me . i can feel it . chloe : did you invite him ? chelsea : no . chloe : then what is he doing here ? chelsea : he probably wanted to see connor after his first day of school . chloe , this is not a setup . i promise . chloe : well , i believe you , but i would n't put it past him . chelsea : oh , hey , guys . chloe : adam . adam : chloe . hi , bud ! how was your first day of school ? connor : it was good . adam : good ! well , i just came by to join you for some hot chocolate . did n't realize there was gon na be a crowd . chloe : bella , this is connor 's dad . this is adam . adam : hi . it is so nice to meet you . that is a really , really pretty jacket . anyway , um , i can get the hot chocolate . where -- chelsea : we were actually all about to go get some -- adam : oh , no , i can get it . chloe : actually , i 'll join you . chelsea : you know , why do n't we all go ? adam : no , no . it 's fine . chloe and i can handle this . adam : okay , let 's hear it . just say whatever it is you need to say . chloe : chelsea may have fallen for your act , but i never will . adam : mm . hmph . well , then , i guess the hot chocolate is gon na be on me , then . chloe : this is n't funny . you are a heartless bastard who brings pain to everything you touch , and i can not believe that i have to stand by and watch it . adam : well , i have a suggestion for you . do n't watch it . chloe : oh , i should have left you to die in the street . adam : what was that ? chloe : nothing , nothing . adam : you did leave me to die in the street , chloe . matter of fact , you left me to die in a few other places , too . so , what did you mean by that ? chloe : you know what ? there really is no difference because you 're standing here now . adam : wait a minute . unless ... i should have known . i should have known . billy . billy . someone pushed me out of the way when he tried to run me down . was that you ? chloe : why would i lift a finger to save you ? adam : i do n't know . but you did , did n't you ? did n't you ? chloe : yes . yes . it was me who saved your sorry ass that night . and now you owe me . get ready for the insurance - themed experience jack : come on in . sit down . theo : great ! so , uh , what 's on the agenda ? any new work you want to throw at me ? jack : that is not what i want to talk to you about . theo : oh , okay . is it something about the job that i 'm doing , because if -- jack : i 'm perfectly happy with your performance . you bring drive and energy . your ideas are well - thought - out . no , i have no issues where that 's concerned . theo : then , why do i feel like i 've been called into the principal 's office ? jack : i am aware of a certain friction between you and kyle . theo : i 'm sorry about that . i wish we could go back in time to being best buds , but , i do n't know . there 's something about me that seems to rub kyle the wrong way . jack : and this is totally kyle 's issue . theo : no , no . we just play by a different set of rules sometimes . kyle has his way of doing things , and i have mine , and maybe my way is a little too unorthodox for him . jack : a clash of styles , then . theo : something like that . jack : i 'm reminded of your grandmother dina . she was always very proud to tell people they broke the mold when they made her . theo : from what she told me , she told me she was quite the force , alright . jack : she was , but she was n't perfect , and this set of rules she made for herself did n't always benefit her and everyone else . look -- all i 'm saying is , even if kyle has issues with you , you 're not making it any easier . i see the way you goad him to get a reaction out of him , all the sarcastic asides , all the lack of respect . theo : it goes both ways , jack . jack : i am well aware of that . i 've spoken to kyle about this . now i 'm speaking to you . you keep poking someone with a sharp stick , what reaction do you expect ? i do n't want to have this conversation again . are we clear on that ? theo : you wo n't , jack . i heard you . kyle : i 'm sorry if it came across like i was still mad at you . i 'm not . lola : i 'm not mad , either . kyle : then why is it so hard to get this tension to go away ? why is it suddenly so hard to just move on ? lola : i do n't know , but i just want to get through this . and i know that you want to get through it , too . it just seems like we 're so out of sync , and it 's driving me crazy . kyle : we just need time to sort it out . lola : and we will . we definitely will . kyle : but now i have to get on a plane . lola : i know . [ sighs ] kyle : i hate having to leave when things are so unsettled between us . lola : me too . but it 's work . i understand . when you get back , we 'll talk everything out and make it better , okay ? kyle : we have to make it better . call you when i get to san francisco ? lola : okay . i love you . summer : um , i am not , and i repeat , not looking to get back together with kyle . phyllis : ' kay . if you say so . summer : well , yeah , i do keep saying so , and you keep not believing me . phyllis : no , all i said is if you want kyle back , you can get him back like that . summer : yeah . that 's spoken like a true mom , but fine . i 'll play your game . how , mom ? phyllis : alright . let 's go back a few years . kyle was madly in love with you all the way up to the point that he met someone who is the polar opposite of you . summer : lola ? phyllis : lola , yes . it 's like blonde versus brunette , ferrari vs. food truck , and then , bam , he 's married within a year ? come on . please . summer : okay . well , did it ever occur to you that they fell in love ? phyllis : [ snorts ] in love ? i 'm sure kyle 's trying to convince himself that he 's in love . those feelings he had for you , those are n't going to go away . they couldn't . summer : well , mom , i do n't know . he chose her , okay ? so , i had to accept that . phyllis : who are you trying to kid ? who are you trying to kid ? summer : i 'm just stating the facts , okay ? phyllis : i 'll tell you some facts . you are 10 times the woman ...

[ sighs ] i just wanted to be spontaneous , that 's all . but you 're right . it was -- it was my idea . i just thought i was gon na , you know , capitalize on all of the press that that news thing got , so ... marisa : that 's not the reason at all , is it ? this is a lot more than just a fashion show . chelsea : i do n't , um ... what are you talking about ? marisa : i know adam is n't just missing . he was kidnapped . and the reason i know is because victor tried to trade me for him . chelsea : what ? marisa : but obviously whoever has your husband wanted something else . chelsea : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i did n't even know that you were involved in any of this . what did victor do ? marisa : he abducted me . chelsea : marisa . marisa : hoping i was the girl the kidnappers were referring to . as soon as he found out that i was n't , he let me go . chelsea : what a gentleman . um , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . are you okay ? marisa : i 'm fine . and more than willing to help however i can . chelsea : even after what victor pulled ? marisa : i 'm not doing it for him . chelsea : thank you . thank you . marisa : so , i assume the exchange is going down tonight . what do i need to know ? chelsea : well , victor and the police , they have everything covered , so we just have to play our parts , act natural . marisa : okay . i can do that . chelsea : yeah . summer and abby , though , they 're a different story . this fashion show , it has to look real , so if they are acting like they have any nerves , i mean , it 's gon na blow up the whole thing . everyone will know . marisa : which is why you ca n't tell them what you just told me . chelsea : adam is abby 's brother , summer 's uncle . marisa : all the more reason , chelsea . chelsea : i ca n't let them walk into that room without knowing the stakes . it 's not right . marisa : do you want adam back ? chelsea : of course ! marisa : then do not burden them with the truth . they 're lovely girls , and i like them very much , but in a crisis ... chelsea : sh , sh , sh . abby : okay , so full disclosure , i brought different jewelry to match the dress this time . i thought it might be nice to shake things up . or not . i mean , i can run home and get the other pieces . chelsea : no , no , it 's , uh -- [ clears throat ] it 's not the jewelry . there 's something i need to tell the both of you . kevin : put this on natalie before you make the trade , that way i 'll be able to track her . paul : kevin , the room is going to be filled with police ready to pounce . there 's no way the kidnapper is going to escape . kevin : i pray that you 're right , but why not have an insurance policy ? paul : all right . fine . under one condition . that you monitor this tracker from here . i do n't want you anywhere near newman tower . deal ? kevin : do i have a choice ? paul : no . none at all . you stay put . victor : what brings you by ? nikki : well , i got an alert from gc buzz about chelsea 's pop - up bridal event . i think i 'm going to attend . but do n't avoid the subject . who was that girl running out of your office ? victor : oh , she was just nervous and anxious about the fashion show , i guess . nikki : so she came to you for comfort ? victor : no , she did n't come to me for comfort . she was new in the building . she lost her way . that 's all . nikki : huh . victor : i must say , i do n't blame her about being nervous . she 's inexperienced , like probably most of the models there . the way chelsea threw all this together at the last minute , i ... if i were you , i 'd stay home . nikki : oh , you 're trying to get rid of me . victor : no . i 'm trying to spare you a boring , amateur hour of modeling nonsense . nikki : okay , well , now i 'm dubious , because i have never known you to be dismissive of chelsea 's work , so what 's really going on here ? victor : you know what 's really going on ? i 'm shocked . i 'm shocked that you were willing and able to pry yourself away from your good friend neil . nikki : what ? this has nothing to do with neil . victor : really ? nikki : this has to do with you trying to shut me out . and did you just say you were shocked ? really ? victor : mm - hmm . nikki : since when is it shocking that i want to support the family business or even just be on my husband 's arm for the evening ? i do n't -- i do n't understand you . what -- you ju -- [ scoffs ] why do i even bother ? victor : yeah , right . sharon : i know how important it is for you to work on the force , and i 'm doing my best to accept your decision . dylan : but you 're still worried . sharon : yes . please , do n't go to newman tonight . dylan : i have to go . this is our one shot at getting adam back . you want that , too , right ? sharon : yes , but whoever took adam is dangerous . and what if -- ca n't you just stay in a command center across the street or something ? dylan : [ chuckles ] across the street ? sharon : seems like a comfortable distance to me . dylan : have you ever known me to hang out on the sidelines ? no . and it 's not gon na start now . i got to do this . it 's my plan . i got to make sure nobody gets hurt -- not adam , not the girl . sharon : and not you . i do n't know what i would do if something happened to you . dylan : you 're not gon na find out . sharon : promise ?

you want to confront dr. anderson ? nick : yeah , i do . i could have a friendly conversation with her , you know , use the fact that she 's very interested in me and our family to get closer to her . sage : i like the way you think . when ? nick : i 'd say as soon as possible . the doctor seems hell - bent on digging up the deep , dark secrets of our past . i want to know why . dr. anderson : i understand why you 'd be concerned about dylan becoming a detective . i 'm sure he understands , too . sharon : yes . um , he does . and , you know , he 's been more than patient with me . dr. anderson : because he loves you . and your son . now , i ca n't imagine him taking any unnecessary risks . sharon : well , you see , the rational side of me knows that , but the other side , it just feels like it 's taking over , and i need something to calm me down . dr. anderson : sharon , medication is not the answer . it 'll only cover what 's truly at the root of your problem . sharon : which is ? dr. anderson : that 's what we need to figure out . what are you so afraid of ? sharon : obviously that dylan might get hurt , or worse . dr. anderson : dig deeper . sharon : i guess i 'm afraid of being alone . you know , nick left me more than once . and he 's not the only man to decide to cut and run . basically my life has been a trail of broken relationships . dr. anderson : yeah , but dylan is different . sharon : yeah , i do feel that what we have can actually last . he makes me feel safe and strong and so incredibly happy . dr. anderson : you should focus on that and the wonderful future you and dylan will share . sharon : i try , believe me . dr. anderson : sharon , i would not have let you come home if i did n't think you were strong enough . you can do this . you know , you just got to stick to your treatment . and if you feel like you 're coming off track , just call me . we 'll talk through it . sharon : you know , you really do have a way of making me feel better . dr. anderson : that 's what i 'm here for . [ cell phone vibrates ] dr. anderson : oh , excuse me . sharon : you 're -- you 're going to see nick later ? dr. anderson : oh . [ chuckles ] sharon : i 'm sorry . i did n't really mean to look . dr. anderson : no , it 's fine . it 's fine . um , nick has been struggling with some issues concerning sage . i 've been trying to help him . sharon : sage ? she seems like she 's doing really well . she 's incredible with the kids . i mean , wait . you have reservations ? dr. anderson : despite appearances , sage is still in a very fragile , very volatile state . i worry that she 'll become too attached to your child . sharon : well , i do n't think that -- dr. anderson : it 's a common way of dealing with loss . not a healthy one . please . keep your distance , for your sake and for sully 's . sage : geez . you hardly pushed `` send `` before she replied . nick : does that surprise you ? sage : unfortunately not , but it 'll be over soon . nick : i hope so . so you okay with picking up faith and bringing her to sharon 's ? sage : oh , yeah , of course . i know she 's excited to see her brother . and i would n't mind giving little sully a squeeze myself . nick : yeah , give him a little fist bump for me , too . sage : [ chuckles ] i will . nick : well , wish me luck . sage : i think i can do a little better than that . jack : lily . i 'm glad to see you got the memo about chelsea 's fashion show , as well . lily : yeah , good thing , considering that i 'm in it . phyllis : oh , you 're modeling ? that 's fantastic . jack : oh , you 're a natural . that 'll be great . lily : thank you . i 'm glad that you guys are out and having fun . and it 's good to hear that billy 's gon na be okay . jack : thanks . we think so , too . lily : uh , do you know how long he 'll be in the hospital or ... ? nikki : hey , lily . lily : hey . nikki : well , if you ask billy that question , he would say he should have gotten out yesterday . jack : yeah , that sounds like my brother . lily : yeah , i 'm sure he 's driving the doctors insane . jack : that sounds like my brother , too . lily : [ laughs ] well , i have to get ready , but i 'll see you guys after , right ? jack : yeah . lily : okay . nikki : absolutely . jack : good luck . lily : thank you . phyllis : break a leg . nikki : i 'm so thankful that our prayers were answered about billy . jack : well , thanks . your support means the world to me , and i give mine right back in return . nikki : for what ? jack : well , this black cloud that 's been hanging over my family seems to have landed over yours . i 'm just so sorry . nikki : i do n't know what you 're talking about . jack : adam . he 's missing . nikki : missing ? victor has n't said a word about it . dylan : our team 's in place . victor : everything is set on my end , as well . paul : how are you holding up ? natalie : well , i just threw up my dinner , and i 'm wearing a wedding dress , not because i 'm marrying someone who loves me , but because i 'm a pawn in some hostage situation . paul : well , it 's perfectly normal to be nervous . natalie : there 's nothing normal about this . paul : well , maybe this will make you feel better . natalie : uh , thanks , but i do n't think jewelry is gon na calm my nerves . paul : well , it 's not just jewelry . it 's a tracking device . we 'll be able to keep an eye on you and know where you are at all times , just in case . natalie : just in case what ? dylan : it 's a backup precaution just to keep you safe . that 's all . paul : it was kevin 's idea . natalie : it was ? paul : mm - hmm . dylan : yeah , so listen , when the exchange happens , you just need to stay calm . there 's a lot of undercover cops up there . just go with the person who comes to get you . paul : yeah , trust me , the kidnapper 's not gon na make it out of the building . speaking of which , i 'd like to make one more sweep before we head up . dylan : okay . victor : i 'm coming along . dylan : uh , well , that 's really not necessary . victor : it is to me . dylan : [ sighs ] victor : you stay here until we call you , all right ? you keep a very close eye on her . make sure she shows up on time . i do n't want any curveballs tonight , okay ? all right . abby : my god , i thought that adam was just on a business trip . summer : this is insane . marisa : now you understand how important this is . chelsea : and how dangerous . adam was taken solely as leverage because he 's related to victor , so that means if anything goes wrong tonight , anybody in your family could be in danger , including the two of you . marisa : the smartest thing would be for you both to leave right now . abby : no . summer : no . no , we 're absolutely staying . marisa : but if you get rattled and you ca n't be convincing , the whole -- abby : we can pull this off . summer : you guys , we can do this . abby : and anyway , would n't it be weird if we were n't there ? chelsea : i just -- i do n't want anybody getting hurt , you guys . abby : you said it . the place will be crawling with cops . summer : and plus grandpa 's people are gon na be there , you guys . abby : so the top of the tower will be the safest place in town tonight . marisa : that 's quite the spin . chelsea : okay , you may be safe from the kidnappers , but what about victor ? he 's going to freak when he sees that you 're in the show . summer : okay , so just do n't tell him ! chelsea : he will see you . abby : once we 've already made our big entrance . trust me . everything will be okay . chelsea : it has to be . or else i 'm never seeing my husband again . summer : this dress makes me feel like getting married . abby : you look amazing . summer : right ? [ both laugh ] marisa : hey , these -- these dresses are gorgeous . chelsea : thanks . we 're lucky they 're not being held together by safety pins at this point . i had so little time to finish them . um , can you turn around ? i just want to adjust your hem . marisa : sure . lily : first time ? natalie : what ? lily : is it your first time modeling ? natalie : oh . how could you tell ? lily : [ chuckles ] just take a deep breath , ignore the eyes . just go out there and do your thing . it 'll all be over before you know it . natalie : god . [ knock on door ] natalie : i hope so . chelsea : hey . dylan : hey . is everybody ready ? chelsea : as ready as we can be . dylan : all right . it 's time to head upstairs . showtime . sharon : did you have a good time at susie 's ? faith : yeah , it was awesome . sharon : oh , tell me about it ! faith : first , i want to play with sully . sharon : oh , well , he 's actually upstairs . faith : oh , um , want to come with me to see him ? sharon : sweetie , it 's getting time to get ready for bed . faith : i will -- after i check on sully . come on ! sage : far be it from me to argue with an 8-year - old . sharon : wait , wait ! uh ... if faith had let me get a word in , i was just gon na say sully 's asleep . sage : oh ! oh , that 's okay . we 'll be really , really quiet . sharon : no , actually , i - i 'd prefer that you just stayed downstairs . sage : is something wrong ? sharon : no . sage : really ? sharon : sullivan did n't have very good naps today , so ... thank you for bringing faith home . sage : why do i get the feeling you 're trying to rush me out of your house ? sharon : i 'm not . it 's just getting late , sage . sage : do you not want me to see sully ? sharon : someday . not tonight . sage : why ? sharon : can we just talk about this another time ? sage : no , sharon . what are you doing ? i thought we were friends . sharon : we were . we are . sage : then what is this about ? sharon : [ sighs ] i talked to dr. anderson . sage : [ sighs ] yeah , of course you did . nick : thank you so much for coming . dr. anderson : it 's my pleasure . nick : you know , the good thing about meeting this late is you 're off the clock . can i buy you a drink ? dr. anderson : that can wait . why did you want to see me ? nick : well , the last time we were together , i was pretty outspoken . dr. anderson : you said , according to sage , i 'd taken too personal an interest in you . and you agreed , started grilling me on my ulterior motive . nick : well , i see things differently now . dr. anderson : how so ? nick : i need your help . dr. anderson : i 'm so glad you reached out , nick . tell me what i can do . nikki : i ca n't believe that . hello . victor : i thought you went home . nikki : i considered going home , but i changed my mind , and i 'm glad i did . otherwise i would n't have heard about adam . phyllis : the information was shared with us in confidence . victor : so you picked up a megaphone and announced it to the rest of the world ? jack : oh , give me a break . nikki 's your wife . forgive us for thinking she was in the loop . nikki : jack , never assume i 'm in the loop , especially where he 's concerned . victor : i think you should go home before you make a scene . nikki : i have no intention of leaving . chelsea : good evening , everyone ! welcome to chelsea 2.0 's pop - up bridal event . victor : keep an eye on nikki , okay ? chelsea : i want to thank you all for being here , especially so last minute , at the drop of a hat . very impressive . i ca n't tell you how important this night is for me . sage : that woman is out of control . sharon : dr. anderson ? sage : yeah , she 's trying to mess with my marriage . sharon : why ? sage : i do n't know why . she has something for nick . it 's like she wants to be with him or something . sharon : she said that ? sage : [ sighs ] she 's always railing on me . `` sage is angry . sage is unstable . sage should n't be trusted around children . `` sharon : are you ? sage : what ? sharon : are you angry still because you lost christian ? sage : i 'm sad , sharon . but angry ? sure , sometimes i rail on about the injustice of it all , but do i have the right to do that ? i lost a child . i mean , why does n't she understand that ? why does she talk about me at every turn ? sharon : i do n't think she 's doing that . sage : of course she is ! earlier you were fine with me holding sully , and now suddenly i 'm dangerous . sharon : no , i did n't say that . sage : no , you did n't say it , but i get the message ! damn it ! what is her problem with me ? she has no right to judge me ! none at all ! i 'm sorry . i should n't be unloading on you , but my nerves are frayed ! this woman is running around telling everyone that i 'm unwell . sharon : you know , sometimes when we 've been through an ordeal like you have , it 's hard for us to hear that we 're not in as strong a place as we think we are . sage : but , sharon , i am in a good place , a better place . you 've seen that , right ? sharon : all i 'm suggesting is that , you know , dr. anderson is a brilliant psychiatrist . just open yourself up to her advice . sage : so , are you saying that i 'm the problem ? sharon : i 'm saying that -- sage : sharon , i 'm not the problem ! i am not the problem ! she is the problem here ! faith : mommy ? why are you yelling ? sage : that was my fault , honey . i just got really overexcited about something . how 's baby sully ? faith : he woke up . he 's making the cutest , little faces . want to see ? sage : yeah . sharon : not right now , baby . sage is just leaving . nick : the truth is , sage has n't been herself . and i do n't just mean the grief or her attachment to sharon 's baby . dr. anderson : i may be off the clock , but confidentiality still applies . nick : sage 's mistrust has morphed into -- into paranoia . i got her to admit that she had been digging into your past . dr. anderson : what ? nick : yeah , i 'm not talking about private investigators or anything like that . it 's just more like internet searches , you know , stuff like that . dr. anderson : well , what is she looking for ? nick : i honestly do n't know . i do n't think she knows , either . i ca n't believe she has become so obsessed . dr. anderson : [ sighs ] this must be so painful for you . nick : the thing is , after sage lost our baby , i think she was terrified that she was gon na lose me next , and i think she was projecting that fear onto you . i just wish i 'd opened my eyes a lot earlier . dr. anderson : does n't matter how long it took . they 're open now . nick : so , what do we do now ? dr. anderson : [ sighs ] nick , i - i hate to say this , but it sounds like sage is heading for a breakdown . nick : you do n't think that she would hurt someone , do you ? dr. anderson : i 'm afraid she 'll hurt herself . chelsea : many of the women in this room have been married . some of us more than once . [ chuckles ] but no matter how many times you 've walked down that aisle , you will always remember the dress . the way it felt on your skin , the way it moved when you danced , the way merely putting it on made you feel like you were floating , full of light and hope and love . so , without further ado , i present to you the gown that inspired the entire collection . maestro ? we have abby newman rayburn wearing her actual wedding dress . [ applause ] chelsea : if you recall , abby wore this beautiful gown at her wedding last month . it was a very special event , and the skirt actually detaches and becomes a gorgeous cocktail dress at the reception . next we have a very whimsical look on the gorgeous summer . [ applause ] chelsea : thank you . this tulle skirt adds a very whimsical feel to the design and to the ensemble . thanks , summer . next we have something a little more modern , something sleek and ... [ applause ] chelsea : [ chuckles ] ... very form - fitting . gorgeous , marisa . and i swear , ladies , you can actually sit in this dress . i promise you . [ chuckles ] thanks , marisa . beautiful . our next gown is elegance personified . [ applause ] chelsea : lily is wearing a layered skirt with a sequined crop top . so gorgeous . someone has to get this girl a glass of champagne . [ chuckles ] so fun . beautiful , lily . finally , we have fun and flirty . [ chuckles ] [ applause ] chelsea : lace on top , tea length on the bottom . you can add a - a pop of color to this or , um , some cowboy boots , and voilà . you 've got yourself a party . chelsea : so , as you all can see , these dresses are all very different , except they do have one thing in common . i put my heart and soul into them . so , i just want to thank you all again for coming tonight . i really hope you enjoyed the show , and who knows ? maybe it will inspire some proposals . lily : what 's happening ? [ clamoring ] paul : all right , seal the exit . chelsea : thank god . thank god , thank god . [ grunting ] [ grunting ] dylan : you 're under arrest ! aah ! chelsea : are you okay ? did -- did they hurt you ? adam : no , baby , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . chelsea : i was so scared i was never gon na see you again . adam : what are you talking about , never see me again ? you know i always come back to you , right ? chelsea : never leave me again , okay ? do you understand ? no more business trips ever . adam : sweetheart . you 're cute . how 's connor ? chelsea : he 's missing you . but besides that , he 's great . we just both love you so much . abby : see ? i told you everything would turn out okay . victor : well , i do n't see . what was chelsea thinking inviting you and summer ? abby : she did n't . summer : it -- it was our idea , grandpa . abby : chelsea tried to talk us out of it , but once we found out adam 's life was on the line ... summer : we just could n't walk away . victor : well , you should have walked away . this was dangerous . abby : our family was in trouble , dad , and in times of crisis , newmans stand together . victor : who taught you that ? abby : only the smartest man i know . victor : well ... marisa : the point is , the plan worked . lily : i ca n't believe i had no idea what was going on . i know we 're all safe , but still . nikki : lily , do n't worry about it . this is all very hard to understand , but believe me , you were n't the only one in the dark . victor : i ca n't believe that you 're still upset about this . nikki : oh , ca n't you ? victor : i was trying to protect you and adam . nikki : i just wish you had told me the truth . jack : quite an evening , huh ? phyllis : i mean , is it even possible to have a drama - free event ? jack : it is newman tower . phyllis : good point . jack : i 'm just glad adam 's okay . why do n't we check in with him ? phyllis : you go . you go . i 'm glad that he is alive , but i really do n't feel the need to hug it out . go . jack : so , how was your day ? adam : well , i would describe it as eventful , jack . how was yours ? jack : i 'm glad you 're okay . adam : thank you . victor : my , my , my . jack and i actually agree . jack : ooh , careful , victor . the world will stop spinning on its axis . adam : [ chuckles ] victor : sorry it took so long , son . i did everything i could , okay ? adam : i should n't have doubted you for a minute . thanks . faith : please do n't go . you did n't even get to play with sully . sage : i know . another time , okay ? faith : no . sage : come here . ooh ! i have somewhere to be , okay , but i will see you so soon , okay ? faith : okay . sage : bye , sharon . [ door opens ] sharon : come on . show me those cute faces you were talking about . faith : that was weird . sharon : what was ? faith : sage . what 's going on with her ? dr. anderson : i do n't mean to alarm you . nick : too late . dr. anderson : unfortunately , people that paranoid , that consumed with grief and anxiety , well , they can do irrational things . nick : like turning their grief on themselves ? [ sighs ] what -- what do i do ? dr. anderson : in my professional opinion , i think you should have sage committed . dylan : hey , kevin . i need you to track natalie . she got away from the kidnapper and took off . kevin : natalie is still at newman . dylan : where ? [ computer keys clacking ] kevin : right outside victor 's office . dylan : no , man , she 's not . that 's -- that 's where i am . kevin : her tracker is . nikki : jack , is something wrong ? jack : yeah , i do n't know where phyllis disappeared to . victor : now that the party 's over , i think it 's time to go home . abby : yes , but first we need to take these dresses off . victor : escort the ladies to the office and make sure they leave the building safely , all right . abby : bye , dad . love you . victor : bye , sweetheart . summer : bye . love you . victor : bye . adam : the man who brought me here is a hired gun . paul : hired gun ? how -- how sure are you about that ? adam : pretty sure . i heard him talking to his boss on the phone . paul : i do n't suppose you overheard anything useful ? adam : i did , uh , actually . my kidnapper 's a woman . natalie : oh , crap . phyllis : you vanished on me once already . that 's not gon na happen again . [ next_on ] nick : we should get out of here so we can talk -- sage : no , i do n't want to get out of here , nick , because you 're a traitor ! dr. anderson : [ gasps ] nikki : i hope she is far away and has taken her drama with her . natalie : you want me to work for you ? phyllis : with me .

victoria : billy told you everything you needed to know about sex ? reed : i had some questions . but he answered them for me . victoria : here 's what you need to know about sex . you 're too young . reed : of course you think that . that 's why i went to billy . victoria : oh , so he just told you to go for it ? he gave you tips on how to pick up girls ? billy : wow , mom , just calm down , okay ? victoria : no , i 'm calm ! i 'm talking to reed . reed : talking at me . billy : all right , let 's everybody just take a breath here and count to 10 . victoria : no , billy , you said more than enough . it 's my turn . lauren : are you sure we 're just not misinterpreting a series of coincidences ? phyllis : no , it all adds up . michael saw gloria cozying up to craig , then i saw her with jack , and they acted as if i caught them in the middle of a fling . lauren : i bet this goes all the way back to hochman . she conspired with jack to wreck both deals so i 'd have to let him invest in fenmore 's . phyllis : she 's quite possibly the worst mother - in - law ever . lauren : oh , speak of the devil . i got to go . gloria : [ sighs ] lauren : gloria ! gloria : hmm ? oh ! lauren : come have a drink with me . gloria : well , absolutely . never turn down a glass of wine with you . so , lauren ... what are we drinking to ? lauren : your specialty -- backstabbing . gloria : huh . jack : i better call pest control . phyllis : please do n't . i 've done so much to move on . i ca n't live without you . jack : what ? phyllis : i ca n't live without you getting what you deserve for sabotaging lauren 's deals . mariah : well , so much for my plan of trying to cheer you up by bringing you out to dinner . sharon : i 'm just not gon na have much of an appetite unless i know that dylan is okay . mariah : if you pass out from not eating , you 're gon na miss dylan 's call . sharon : paul did tell me that i did n't blow dylan 's cover when i tried to call him , but he also said that dylan is dealing with very dangerous and violent people . mariah : sharon , stop assuming the worst . torturing yourself is n't accomplishing anything . sharon : if dylan is suffering because of something that i did , i would never be able to forgive myself . kevin : that 's half of what we wanted to hear . as for the rest , i 'm choosing to believe that , uh , no news is good news . thanks . christine : hey , was that paul ? kevin : uh , no . the feds . fisk is in custody . mission accomplished . christine : oh , my god . after all these years , he will finally be brought to justice . but i - i really ca n't celebrate until i know dylan 's safe . kevin : he 's not answering any of the burner phones . i 'm trying to remain calm , but he 's not making it easy . christine : well , we ca n't panic . dylan probably went underground . he knows he 'll be safe there until the rest of the crew 's arrested . kevin : going incognito makes sense , but dylan would want us -- he would want sharon to know that he 's safe . paul : torres , i want to look at those shell casings . thanks . [ sighs ] you know , it just does n't add up . i mean , we got bloodspatter , we got bullets . we do n't have any bodies . i mean , if the victim escaped , we 'd have a trail of blood and footprints and ... this is all the physical evidence we found . paul : okay . call your supervisor . we need more officers down here . i want to go over this place inch by inch . and in the meantime , get a scraping of this blood . a small sample is gon na take awhile to get a dna match . paul : well , then get a blood type ! i have to find out what happened to my son , okay ? ! [ sighs ] lauren : give you this -- you got chutzpah . sleeping under my roof while sabotaging my business deals . gloria : come on . these unfounded accusations are very hurtful , lauren . we are family . lauren : oh , are you denying that you 're conspiring with jack ? gloria : conspiring ? he asked me about fenmore 's . he wants to make a deal with you . lauren : [ scoffs ] he 's plotting a hostile takeover . gloria : oh , stop . he 's trying to save your company . i understand why you would n't want to work with him . [ scoffs ] lauren : even though you 're doing everything you can to force my hand . gloria : you say all the horrible things about me that you want . i love you , and that is never going to change . lauren : oh , i am not falling for that ! because i do n't think it 's a coincidence that all my potential partners bailed after i refused to give you a job . what did jack promise you ? vp of schemes and scams ? gloria : that 's not true . lauren : well , your plan worked . take credit for it . say it loud ! say it proud ! you are a master manipulator . jack : well , congratulations , nancy drew . you figured it out . i 've been working with gloria . phyllis : you do realize your plan was underhanded and deceptive ? jack : coming from you , i take that as a compliment . all along i have been quite clear about my plan to buy a controlling interest in fenmore 's . gloria was merely sharing her insights with me . phyllis : now that she knows what you 've done , lauren is not gon na sign any deal with you . jack : i guess we 'll see about that . i am surprised , though , that you of all people are clutching your pearls over my tactics . this is right out of your playbook . phyllis : your plan was lame . did you really expect me to believe that you were dating gloria ? jack : what ? did you think i 'd spend the rest of my life pining away for you ? sorry to disappoint . i 've moved along . phyllis : with gloria ? that 's like going from filet mignon to barbecued roadkill . you got gloria to spread bogus rumors ! you got her to throw herself at two potential buyers ! jack : that 's right ! i did ! and i enjoyed every second of it . phyllis : this is not a game . this is lauren 's family legacy . you of all people should respect that . jack : why do you think i 'm working so hard on this ? six months from now when fenmore 's is back in the black , lauren will be thanking me . phyllis : and why would she want to partner with someone who is clearly not trustworthy ? jack : i guess you have a point there . that is how i felt when you were begging me to take you back after you 'd slept with my brother . billy : obviously you do n't want to hear what i have to say . victoria : no , i do n't . i 'm not even sure why you 're here . billy : because my kids live here and i came to say good night to johnny and katie . but if it 's a problem for you , then i can leave . victoria : yeah , i think that 'd be for the best . billy : okay . please tell them i 'll see them in the morning . reed : wait , billy , i want you here . victoria : reed , this is a family matter . reed : yeah , and i 've grown up with billy as my stepdad . he 's family to me . billy : reed , if your mother does n't want me here , i need to respect her wishes . reed : what about my wishes ? you 've been a father figure to me most of my life . you 've always been there for me , and now i 'm just supposed to kick you to the curb because you and mom ca n't get along ? billy : listen to me , okay ? you 're not gon na be able to kick me to the curb . i 'm gon na be around for you . i promise you that . reed : then why ca n't you be here for me now ? help me convince mom that i should n't be in trouble for what happened . i know you 're on my side . victoria : what i understand is that part of the problem here and the reason you 're in trouble is billy . billy : okay , i 'll stay . [ cell phone rings ] christine : hey , it 's paul . i 'm gon na take it in his office . kevin : okay . christine : paul ? any news ? paul : i have a team searching for him . christine : okay , just do n't assume the worst . paul : chris , you and i both know every minute that passes , the odds get worse . christine : do n't say that . do n't even think it . paul : you know , i did n't call for a pep talk . i just want you to know that the feds are gon na let me question fisk . christine : okay , great . um , just do n't cross the line . i need this case to be clean . paul : i know exactly how to handle him . there 's something more delicate that i need you to handle for me . sharon 's got to be a wreck . i mean , she has no idea what 's going on . you know , when you 're isolated and you 're helpless , your mind will take you to some very dark places . i 'm in that place now . christine : honey , you 're not alone . i can be on the next flight to miami . paul : listen , i have an investigation to run . just find sharon , will you , and tell her what happened . it 's better if she hears it from you . christine : you want me to tell sharon that her husband might be dead ? paul : we have an obligation to tell sharon the truth about dylan . christine : i 'll tell her the same thing i 'm telling you . we ca n't pinpoint dylan 's location yet , but that -- that is no reason to give up hope . paul : my gut instinct tells me that something went wrong . i never should have let him go undercover . christine : he got hard evidence on fisk , something that no one else has been able to get . so stop second - guessing yourself and be proud of your son . paul : i am proud of my son ! and right now , i really do n't care about the case . i just want to find dylan . the guest of honor . paul : i got to go . all right , fisk . you know this is all over right now . you 're going away for a very long time . and the only way you 're gon na get out of prison upright is to tell me where i can find my ... my officer . gloria : we 're on the same team . we both want to save fenmore 's . and it may not be ideal , but if jack is the only investor that 's interested , you 're going to have to join forces with him . lauren : [ chuckles ] i have other options . so all your subterfuge was a waste of time . gloria : really ? so you have potential partners . wonderful . who ? lauren : nice try . you can read it in the business section like everyone else . phyllis : we were talking about business . why do you have to drag our personal life into this ? jack : because you did n't come here to talk business . you came here to tell me how smart you are and to act morally superior . this from a woman who slept with my brother behind my back repeatedly for months . phyllis : i have apologized to you a dozen times . i have tried to explain it to you . you will not listen ! jack : i 'm the bad guy because i did n't let you off the hook , and that gives you the right to trash me for trying to close this deal . would you rather the company that 's signing your checks now go under ? phyllis : oh , come on . if you were gon na try to save fenmore 's , you would n't have wrecked things for lauren 's other potential investors ! jack : i could go after any number of companies , business opportunities that would not require my dealing with my cheating ex - wife . i have agreed to put up with you so that i can help lauren . phyllis : you 're a saint . jack : this is gon na happen whether you like it or not , phyllis . now , i suggest for everyone 's sake you stop being such a hypocrite . [ sighs ] reed : you and dad always told me that i could ask any question and i would n't get in trouble . victoria : we meant that you could ask us anything , reed . we 're your parents , not billy . reed : yeah , but dad 's on the other side of the world . when i 'm awake , he 's asleep . victoria : i 'm here , reed ! according to you , i 'm constantly in your face . reed : but i ca n't talk to you about this ! i mean , you 're treating me like a criminal for even thinking about sex ! victoria : oh , that 's not true . billy : that 's a slight exaggeration . slight exaggeration . reed : plus it 's way easier to talk to another guy about it . i mean , billy gave me really specific detailed advice . victoria : oh , really ? what did he say ? that -- that 's really interesting . billy : reed , can you give me a moment with your mom , please , in private ? victoria : reed , sit down . we 're not finished talking . billy : no , vick , your beef is with me , so why do n't you let me have it , then you can have a constructive conversation with your son ? victoria : fine . just go upstairs and do your homework . billy : okay , listen . if you let me explain myself , i 'm pretty sure you 'll understand . victoria : you know what ? you are so incredibly arrogant . you 're not gon na charm your way out of this one . billy : come on , vick . i did n't tell him how to have sex with a girl , okay ? he wanted to know about condoms , being safe . so instead of ripping into him , you should congratulate him for at least being responsible for himself -- victoria : i am not gon na congratulate a teen for planning to have sex . billy : okay , maybe `` congratulate `` is not the right word , but that is not what happened . he just wanted to have the facts . victoria : you know what really bothers me here , billy , is that you did n't tell me about this . i would n't have known about your little talk if reed had n't have blurted it out . billy : hey , we promised to respect his privacy , okay , unless it was illegal or dangerous . victoria : sex at 15 is dangerous ! you should have told me , billy . billy : reed is n't having sex , okay ? not even close after the conversation i had with him . victoria : billy , we walked in on him making out with some girl on the couch i 'd never even met before . what if we had come home later ? they 'd probably be having sex . billy : no , more likely they 'd still be kissing on the couch . they 're not animals . they 're teenagers . victoria : he was supposed to be babysitting . billy : yeah . victoria : what if the kids came down and saw them ? billy : then they would have giggled that their older brother was making out on the couch . come on . when did you become such a prude ? victoria : it 's not uptight of me to want reed to wait until he 's older . billy : okay , but it 's not realistic to you to think that you can stop him , either . victoria : yeah , but it 's my job to make sure that my kids do n't wreck their lives . billy : i really hope that reed waits , okay ? i do . but at least he 's protecting himself from disastrous consequences . victoria : billy , pregnancy and stds are not the only dangerous thing about teenagers having sex . i mean , being intimate too soon causes self - esteem issues . it can wreck future relationships . billy : you sound like a propaganda film from the ' 50s , vick . victoria : i was only one year older than reed when i had sex for the first time , and it was one of the worst mistakes i 've ever made in my life , billy . billy : yes , you told me what happened with ryan . victoria : i was n't ready , and that bad decision led to dozens of other bad decisions . billy : okay , but you were pressured by an older man , and you did n't use birth control . the only way that we can get reed to not go that direction is to have the conversation with him , to give him the information . i mean , do n't you wish that somebody talked to you about it ? victoria : do n't presume to know my life better than i do . those were n't the only reasons why it was so traumatic for me . billy : i apologize for assuming . but you 're doing the same thing with reed , okay ? you 're assuming that sex is going to ruin his life . victoria : so you think it 's a rite of passage , like learning how to drive or something ? billy : no , no , statistically , teenage driving is much more dangerous . victoria : billy , this is important . it 's not funny . stop trying to always be funny . billy : i 'm not trying to be funny . i 'm just being me and -- victoria : well , then stop being you ! you know , sometimes i wonder if i 'm still making bad choices with men because of what happened to me as a teenager . billy : and i would be one of those men ? victoria : you know what 's the scariest thing about this cavalier attitude of yours ? down the road , i do n't know if i can trust you with johnny and katherine . billy : you 're crossing the line , vick . victoria : no , it 's a preview , billy . 10 years from now , you 're gon na be handing them condoms and telling them to go have a great time . and you know what ? i ca n't let that happen . mariah : so it seems dinner was a bust . how about a plan b ? i recorded that cheesy romantic movie that neither of us would have admitted we wanted to see . how about we go home and watch it ? except you ca n't tell anybody that i did , okay ? sharon : stop trying to distract me . mariah : look , this feeling of wanting to take care of somebody , it 's not exactly a natural instinct for me . so do n't waste it . take advantage of it . let me help you feel better . sharon : i love you . mariah : [ chuckles ] i know . and that 's terrific . i love you , too . but i want you to know that everything is gon na be okay . sharon : you know , it 's really sweet of you to say that , but i 'm -- i 'm really not gon na feel any better until i hear dylan 's voice . mariah : and you will . maybe not tonight , but you will soon . this is dylan we 're talking about . he 's tough . he 's practically indestructible . and he always comes home . sharon : christine 's here . mariah : maybe she has some news . sharon : maybe . christine : hi . how are you holding up ? sharon : i 've been better . christine : mariah , could you give us a minute ? sharon : uh , no , anything that you have to tell me , you can say in front of my daughter . christine : that 's nice that you have someone to lean on . sharon : have you heard from dylan ? christine : no . sharon : how is that possible ? you 're in charge . christine : there have been some complications with the operation , so paul wanted me to come by and talk to you . sharon : is he okay ? christine : i do n't know . sharon : oh , my god . oh , my god . mariah : sharon , sharon . remember what i said . remember what i said . everything is gon na be okay . sharon : is dylan dead ? christine : we have no reason to believe that . sharon : and you have no reason to believe he 's okay , either ? paul : so this is your only opportunity you 're gon na get to have a reduced sentence . it expires in three minutes , so start talking . fisk : about what ? paul : tell me where derek young is . fisk : who ? paul : he came to the warehouse to make a deal . and you thought he was a lowlife scum like you , but he was n't . he was working for us . where the hell is my ... fisk : your what ? your mole ? your rat ? paul : my officer . fisk : i never saw him . i 'd like to cut a deal , but , uh , i ca n't help you . paul : you know ... maybe you and i can be a bit more candid without an audience . fisk : can you get my lawyer on the phone , please ? [ sniffs ] paul : i suggest you start talking . or you 're not even gon na make it to court . fisk : you 're willing to do whatever it takes . i respect that . paul : quit stalling . where 's derek ? fisk : yeah , he was here . you 're right about that . and i can usually spot an undercover cop right from the get - go , but , uh , he was good . i had no idea till they were reading me my rights . paul : well , you must have had some doubts . i mean , uh , you 'd never met him before , and he was here to make a huge buy . fisk : it happens all the time . paul : it does ? well , if you 're so certain that he was legit , then why is he missing ? fisk : no clue . maybe my associates figured it out . they 've been known to exterminate rats . paul : maybe this will jog your memory ! we also found shell casings ! so , did you shoot him or did you order your associates to pull the trigger ? fisk : i know derek 's the only leverage i 've got . but if he 's missing , i had nothing to do with it . paul : get him the hell out of here . i 'm sick of looking at him . [ sighs ] [ sighs ] christine : last night dylan sent us the evidence we needed to make an arrest . mariah : that 's great news . way to go , dylan . sharon : i do n't understand . i mean , if he sent you the evidence , then why do n't you know where he is ? why did n't he come home ? christine : he sent it electronically . we have n't heard from him since . sharon : so he 's missing . he -- or worse . christine : sharon , you have to understand it is standard practice for an undercover agent to lay low after a bust . sharon : for how long ? christine : i ca n't give you a precise time . i - i do n't think very long . paul is on a plane . he got to miami . he is gon na oversee the last phase of this case . sharon : wait . what ? no , that -- that was not part of the plan . something must have gone very wrong . mariah : do n't jump to conclusions , okay ? sharon : paul sent christine here to talk to me . obviously he 's very concerned . christine : paul just wanted you to know . he is doing everything he can to wrap this up and get dylan home . sharon : what does paul think happened to dylan ? just level with me , christine . if it were paul , you would want to know . christine : he would have felt better if we had heard from dylan . i mean , we all would . mariah : sharon . sharon , please . gloria : lauren figured everything out . maybe we went too far . she 's furious . jack : well , she 's not the only one . phyllis just gave me an earful . gloria : well , i never admitted anything . i said you asked me some questions . that 's it . jack : it does n't matter who knows we 're working together . i confessed everything to phyllis . gloria : why would you do that ? ! now you do n't have any leverage ! jack : we 've eliminated all of their options . what 's lauren going to do ? the clock is ticking . soon she 'll be begging me to rescue her . gloria : do n't get too cocky , jack . she told me she 's got other options . jack : who ? gloria : she did n't really divulge that information . jack : that 's because that person does n't exist . she 's just trying to jack up the price . no , i 've seen this before . we have lauren right where we want her . lauren : gloria 's strategy was deny , deny , deny . phyllis : jack admitted everything . it 's like he was proud of all the ways he was screwing us over . lauren : [ scoffs ] guess they did n't have time to get their stories straight . but you know what ? it does n't matter . i have another potential investor , and it 's a good one . it 's my only one , but good . phyllis : who is it ? lauren : i 'm afraid i 'm gon na jinx it if i say anything else . phyllis : okay , all right . after everything that 's happened , i understand . i just want it to go well because working with jack will be the worst possible thing to happen to fenmore 's . he is not gon na be a partner . he will be a conqueror . and i 'd rather go into business with genghis khan . lauren : honey , you seem angrier than before you talked to jack . is this about fenmore 's or the two of you ? phyllis : it 's -- it 's not worth discussing . let 's just focus on how we can make sure we do not work with him . tell me how i can help you . billy : you can question whether i 'm capable of being a good husband , but do n't question my ability to be a good parent to johnny and katie , okay ? they are the reason that i wake up in the morning . victoria : a good father sets limits . he cares about his kids ' wellbeing , not whether or not they think he 's cool , billy . billy : vick , did i give reed advice ? yes , i did . but i also told him that he should wait until he 's in a serious relationship and that it does n't matter if he 's inexperienced . it does n't matter what the kids at school say . victoria : well , it 's obvious which part of that conversation registered with him . billy : yeah , it is , because he and his girl were sitting on the couch fully clothed , so the good part registered , okay ? and i understand walking in and seeing them was a shock , but it could have been a lot worse . victoria : oh , well , that 's a pretty low bar you 've set , billy . billy : okay , listen to me . reed showing up on your doorstep unannounced , you taking all that on , that 's a lot for you . you do n't like flying by the seat of your pants , but this has turned into a referendum of whether i can be trusted to raise our children . i resent that , okay ? that is wrong . just like i think it 's wrong the way you 're handling reed . victoria : you have no right to be in my house telling me how to raise my son . billy : well , this was our house , and my children still live here . victoria : do you know how glad i am that we did n't get back together ? i 'm so glad , 'cause i ca n't imagine if you lived under the same roof with reed what he would be doing -- gambling at school , maybe he would be breaking up one of our relative 's marriages , huh ? billy : believe me , i will do everything that i can to make sure that reed does n't make the same mistakes i did , and that includes falling for a woman who blames everybody else for her mistakes . victoria : reed is my problem , not yours . so get out of my house and let me deal with my problem , billy . billy : that 's fine . then when you wake up in the morning , you 're gon na realize that you were blowing everything out of proportion . and when you need help with reed , do n't come to me , okay ? victoria : it 's cold . reed : mom ? i 'm sorry i 'm such a problem . victoria : you 're not a problem , all right ? billy and i , we lost our tempers and we said things that we should n't have said . reed : well , i screwed up , so do n't be mad at billy . be mad at me , because , i mean , i do n't want johnny and katie to suffer . it always sucks when your parents are fighting . victoria : okay . all right , but can we talk about you for a minute ? you -- you let me down , you know . i was really disappointed . reed : i did n't realize i was n't allowed to like girls . victoria : come on , reed . you know that 's not why i 'm upset . reed : look , i - i just invited zoey over to hang out . i did n't think anything was gon na happen . victoria : well , how much more would have happened if i had n't come home ? reed : it would n't have gone any further , i swear . i mean , i just met her . we 're just getting to know each other . victoria : you seemed pretty close on the couch . reed : look , even if i am as desperate as you think i am to hook up , do you think she 'd be into that ? i mean , this is the first time we 've even seen each other outside of school . victoria : okay . this is what i know . i ca n't leave you in charge . you know , you think you 're too old for a babysitter , but you 're definitely not mature enough to keep an eye on your brother and sister . reed : i guess not . victoria : from now on , would you just come to me if you have any questions about sex or girls or anything ? i mean , please come to me and not billy . i 'm your parent , reed . reed : if i stop asking billy , will you forgive him ? victoria : [ scoffs ] that 's between billy and me . reed : maybe , but it affects all of us . especially johnny and katie . and whenever you guys are around each other , it just feels like there 's this weird tension , like -- like you guys are n't being straight with each other . whatever it is , i wish you 'd just come out and say it . phyllis : you look like i feel . billy : angry with a dash of frustration ? phyllis : would your misery like some company ? billy : yeah . phyllis : so , what 's got you ticked off ? billy : [ scoffs ] victoria , as usual . you ? phyllis : work . i keep telling myself it 's just business , but that 's not really helping . billy : you and lauren not getting along ? phyllis : no , she 's not the problem . it 's jack . he wants to invest in fenmore 's . billy : really ? that does n't sound like jack 's kind of investment . phyllis : no , he 's claiming that his genius is gon na save fenmore 's , and all he demands in return is controlling interest . billy : well , i do n't think there 's a doubt that jack has been more aggressive with jabot the last few months . brash & sassy has felt the brunt of that . i guess he wants to add more stores to his empire . phyllis : yeah . he 's definitely got a fire in his belly . it 's like he 's determined to prove to everyone that he is in charge . paul : [ sighs ] every road we go down is a dead end . the evidence is telling us nothing . kevin : we might have something . i just got an e - mail from the miami pd forensics team . they analyzed the bloodspatter . paul : whatever it is , just tell me . kevin : the blood is o positive . paul : that 's not his ! dylan is ab negative ! kevin : okay , so if it 's not his blood , maybe he 's the one who fired the shot . paul : well , yeah , i mean , if he shot one of fisk 's men , that would be a very good reason to go underground . good call on the perimeter search . we found this . paul : listen , kevin , is -- is chris with you ? kevin : no , she went to talk to sharon . paul : track her down . now . mariah : look , all christine told you is there 's nothing to tell . there are a million reasons why dylan could have gone awol . sharon : this is my punishment for pretending that christian was mine . now the universe is taking dylan away from me . mariah : sharon , that 's not how it works . life is a series of random events . it does n't mean anything . oh , man . i am , um , i 'm really bad at comforting you . sharon : no . no , you 're not . i - i needed a reminder that this is n't about me , okay ? all i can control is my own reaction , and maybe dylan is all right . so i 'm just gon na hope for the best and i 'm gon na stay strong . mariah : good . sharon : i know that you have to get to work , right ? so you 're handling the night shift ? mariah : no , no , i 'm not gon na leave you alone . sharon : no , i 'm fine , honestly . just , um , make sure that nothing about dylan gets on the gc buzz , okay ? mariah : are you sure ? sharon : i 'm positive . i 'm just gon na watch that movie that you recorded . mariah : okay . bye . lauren : you 're flying in tomorrow ? okay , i will send you a car . i 'm ready to make this happen . i think the synergy and the cross - marketing opportunities are endless . we are gon na be an unstoppable team . i 'll see you tomorrow . jack : i can almost see that grin on the back of your head . i take it that was good news ? lauren : you 've gotten rid of gloria and started spying on me yourself ? jack : did n't hear a word . scout 's honor . though i am intrigued . lauren : just catching up with an old friend . have a good night , jack . i recommend the special . oh , in fact , why do n't you put it on my tab ? victoria : things are very complicated between billy and me . it 's really all you need to know . i want to talk about you . reed : all right , i 'm not allowed to have girls over . i got it . but why were you so mad at billy ? what 's going on , mom ? victoria : many , many things have happened between billy and me , and very few of them are appropriate for me to discuss with you , reed . let 's just say that our relationship is a little bit strained . reed : i know , but you guys used to be married . does n't that count for anything ? you 're always such an ice queen with him . victoria : well , if i am , it 's because he drove me to it . reed : he was just trying to help me , and you wo n't even cut him any slack . victoria : someday you 'll understand , reed . reed : i understand now . you 're just cold and mean . billy : nothing good will come of the two of us talking about jack . phyllis : that is true . what about victoria ? is she neutral territory enough ? can we talk about her ? billy : do we have to ? i feel like i ca n't get away . not only are we coworkers for 12 hours of the day , we 're co - parents . phyllis : what 's the problem ? are you butting heads over johnny and katie ? billy : it ended up that way , but it started with reed . i do n't know if you 've heard , but , uh , he moved back to genoa city . trying to help out because the kid and i get along , but , you know , no good deed goes unpunished . phyllis : if it 's creating drama , why do n't you let victoria deal with reed on her own ? billy : 'cause that 's what a sensible person would do , phyllis . and i would end up with so much more free time . any suggestions how i occupy myself ? phyllis : i 'm sure you 'll figure something out . it was good to see you . christine : what 's going on ? paul : you picked out what dylan wore when he went undercover . christine : uh , well , the -- the feds did that . i was more of a liaison . paul : okay , but you saw what he was wearing , right ? christine : yes . paul : describe it . christine : nothing out of the ordinary . jeans , shirt . i 'm not really sure what you 're asking . paul : was he wearing any jewelry ? did -- did he have a bracelet ? christine : yes . paul : do you remember what it looked like ? christine : it was black . uh , something a biker would wear . paul : any other details ? christine : yeah , it -- it had a gold eagle charm on it . paul : all right , chris . i 'm holding it in my hand . they just handed it to me . they found it by the door of the warehouse . it means that dylan was here . christine : paul ? paul : something must have happened to him , chris . [ door closes ] [ next_on ] neil : i am so proud of you . lily : there is just one little problem . billy : like a guy who does n't want his wife to succeed ? cane : i 'm not like that , and you know that . you blindsided me , and you did deliberately . paul : i 'll just catch the first plane i can . christine : just be careful . fisk 's people are still out there .

's death . i was involved with his burial . nick : you say that like it 's nothing . phyllis : it 's not nothing . it was never nothing . i did n't kill j.t . nick : i know you didn't . mom did , defending victoria . but you were there . phyllis : after all this time , nikki 's the one who caved . nick : i want to hear it from you . phyllis : what ? the details ? no , you don't . nick : you know , my mom has changed her story so many times . first , she did n't know anything . then she was just trying to save victoria . and now there are three people in the mix . phyllis : wow . nick : i want the whole story , phyllis . phyllis : nikki stopped that bastard the way any mother would . when she and victoria realized that he was dead ... they panicked . so i stepped in . thanks to me , your mother and your sister are not in prison right this very second . mattie : is it because of business meetings ? is that why you ca n't come ? charlie : yeah , maybe you could just do a conference call in the car . mattie : or borrow the h - dub jet . that 'd be okay , right ? charlie : yeah , i mean , mom would really love to see all of us together this time . neil : well , your dad was just up there , and sometimes your mom wants you all to herself . cane : um , do n't you have some physics homework you got to do ? charlie : all right . cane : do your homework . so , uh , what , all of a sudden , you 're the gatekeeper of my wife ? is that what this is ? i needed to go and see lily , and since you lied to the kids , i think you know . neil : hey . lily told me about you and victoria . and for lily 's sake , i got to put up with your garbage behavior time and time again . now , look , i backed lily when she wanted to forgive you , and i back her now when she does n't want to see you . cane : i 'm not gon na let her think i 'm giving up -- neil : shut up ! cane : okay . neil : i need to go before i do something that i 'll regret . mia : it 's a sign ! how powerful the love between rey and me is . i hope you all can feel it . it means you were meant to join us on our special day . sharon : it was a lovely ceremony . it 's clear how much thought went into it . mia : it 's true . in a lot of ways , i 've been planning this is my head a long time . lola : you did n't tell me ! arturo : i did n't tell anyone . lola : well , abby is the right one for you , arturo , or else you would n't have done any of this . kyle : yeah , abby 's awesome . but i expected `` the naked heiress `` is gon na go full - scale bridezilla . abby : oh , for sure , yeah . and i plan on making you wear a velvet purple tux to the ceremony just because i said so . lola : [ giggles ] kyle : i can pull it off . arturo : oh ! abby : sadly , i think that 's true . i 'll have to think of other ways to torture you . kyle : uh , you know your way around that . do n't give her time to plan . double wedding , right here and now . abby : oh ! mia : [ laughs ] you are funny , kyle . arturo : you up for it ? abby : definitely , yeah . uh - huh .

[ giggles ] mia : [ laughs ] well , that was a cliffhanger , huh , people ? well , uh , back to the main event . we still have a lovely reception planned for you all . devon hamilton himself wants us to have this evening perfect for us . rey : my wife is being modest . he did this for her because when you turn on the sparkle , no one can resist . mia : aww , well , i 'm a happy woman , and i just want my love to be a happy man . rey : tonight is just the beginning . again . come on . mia : [ giggles ] abby : [ gasps ] uncle jack ! jack : abby ! arturo . arturo : what 's up ? abby : i have some exciting news . actually , we have some exciting news . do you want to tell him . we 're engaged ! jack : when did this happen ? abby : just now . you 're the first to know . jack : congratulations . oh ! and i know you will do right by my niece . arturo : it 's my new mission in life . abby : we have to get back to the wedding party , but i just wanted you to know . jack : yeah , go , go , go . congratulations ! did she just say `` wedding party ? `` kyle : yeah , i know . rey and mia renewed their vows , and arturo proposed to abby . jack : when , during the `` speak now or forever hold your peace `` part ? kyle : he waited until after the vows . jack : well , unorthodox , but everyone seems happy . uh , you know what , a renewal and an engagement at the same time ? a lovely reminder that some relationships actually work out . kyle : and you 'd need a reminder because ... ? jack : i think kerry and i have hit the end of the road . kyle : wait , what happened ? jack : i 'm ready for a woman i can trust . looks like i have n't found her this time , either . phyllis : j.t . tormented your sister . he controlled her . he threatened her . he laid his hands on the mother of his children . you should have heard her that night . everything that was spilling out of her . sometimes , she would just choke back the tears . she would sound numb . so she went upstairs to rest . when i went up later , j.t . was dead . nikki and victoria were falling apart . all the thoughts were just coming so fast . j.t . was after victoria . not nikki . but nikki is the one that took him out . victoria never told anyone about the abuse . so why claim it now , after the fact ? i did n't think that those two could protect themselves , so i had to do it for them . burying the body , cover the crime , make it look like j.t . left town . it was disgusting . it was sickening . but it had to be done for nikki 's sake . and , no , i did not tell you because we promised -- we promised not to tell a soul . now , we were n't together then , but , once we were , i -- i decided the best way to stay loyal to you was to keep protecting your mother and your sister . nick : so you saved them ? phyllis : i had to . i promised . nick : phyllis , that would be a lot easier to believe if you had n't held onto the murder weapon . jack : hey , you do n't have to join me . kyle : one drink and a little information . what exactly did kerry do ? jack : i told you . she said she was stuck in the lab . the lab was closed . kyle : right . i got that much . but i just assume there 's more , since jumping straight to `` i do n't trust her `` is kind of a stretch . jack : here 's the thing . i was n't always upfront and forthright in my relationships in the past , i admit that , but that was in the past . i 'm in a different place now . i 'm not sure i have the patience to be with somebody who still needs to play games . kyle : are you sure that 's what she 's doing ? jack : this is n't the first time i felt like she was hiding something from me . kyle : like what ? jack : i do n't know ! but obviously it 's important enough for her to risk what we have . kyle : mm , maybe it 's a top - secret project at another facility . or she was taking some personal time . jack : that she has to lie about ? kyle : ask her . jack : it 's not that simple . kyle : it is . look , i know you 've been burned , but that does n't mean kerry 's been doing the same thing . at least get some answers before you decide it 's done . [ laughter ] rey : oh , good . you 're here . kyle : sorry about that . rey : i wanted everyone together because now i have a very special surprise for my gorgeous wife . phyllis : just help me understand exactly what you 're thinking here . because your mom has changed her story so many times , but yet , i 'm the one being doubted here . i saved her . i protected your sister . i honored the agreement we had , and yet , i am the one under suspicion here . nick : you lied . you told mom and vick the poker was at the bottom of the lake . phyllis : yes . yes , it was n't the complete truth . i went to the lake , but after calming everyone down , after dealing with the corpse , i knew it was on me to deal with the murder weapon . and i realized maybe , just maybe , i may need that one day to protect myself , legally . because , in this little group , i am the odd man out . no one 's gon na swoop in and save red . and it turns out , i am right because your mother just confessed homicide to you , and yet , i 'm the one being interrogated here . nick : then the poker showed up at the ranch , the one you had . phyllis : how many times have i told you ? i do n't anything about that ! the poker was in a storage unit . someone broke in , they took it , then they did what they did with it ! nick : are you hearing yourself right now ? phyllis : yes , i am hearing myself , and i 'm hearing you , too , and i 'm hearing a lot of accusation towards me , which i do n't deserve . nick : you claimed my dad was guilty when you knew , more than anyone , that he was n't ! we talked about this . i heard you say you wanted dad to rot in jail . phyllis , if you can mastermind this cover - up , you sure as hell can frame him for murder . devon : so now cane feels entitled to go up with you and the kids to visit lily ? that 's not gon na happen . i 'll clear my schedule , though , so i can go with you guys . neil : no , no , no . do n't worry about that . i think it 's best if i just take the kids myself , you know ? lily needs to spend some time with them alone , and when she 's ready for more , then she 'll let us know . devon : sure . neil : hey . devon : hmm ? neil : lily 's not my only priority . i mean , how are things going with you ? devon : i actually got to finally have a sit - down with that songwriter . neil : oh , yeah ! the reclusive genius . devon : right . neil : how 'd you swing that ? devon : ana set it up . neil : really ? devon : yeah . neil : so what do you think ? someone we can work with ? devon : absolutely . neil : your sister has an eye for new talent . devon : yeah , she sure does , and it 's probably because she 's so damn talented herself . earlier today , i caught her singing at the piano . neil : ahh ! lucky man . she 's been hiding a light under that bushel lately , huh ? devon : it got a little dusty in here for me , too . neil : what ? really ? cried some tears ? devon : yeah , it just hit me out of nowhere . neil : hey . there 's no shame in emotion . you know ? all that noise about men being stoic and shut down ... do n't trip on that , do n't fall for it . devon : mm . neil : you know , you think you 're riding it out , but i 'm telling you , man , those tears do n't just dry up and go away . those feelings ... they 'll stay right there . that knot you feel at night when you 're trying to sleep ... or the dust when you hear a song . devon : i know , i ca n't keep dumping all my issues on you guys , though . neil : no , no , come on . you 're not dumping . i love you to tears , man . we all love you . if it 's not us , then talk to your therapist . devon : i know . i 've been doing that , but it 's just ... neil : it 's just a process . i know . so if listening to ana 's music gives you that kind of release , then , my brother , keep listening . [ doorbell rings ] [ knocks on door ] cane : hey . i 'm not gon na let you shut me out of lily 's life . news break phyllis : so , is this all nikki ? did she decide i was the one who was dropping all the weapons around the ranch to frame victor ? nick : she mentioned her theory . phyllis : big shock there . nick : it 's not the first time it occurred to me when i put together the list of all my father 's enemies . phyllis : so i was on that list ? i was an enemy ? i was n't a victim ? not someone who he basically had violated ? that 's fine . i was on the enemy list . that 's fine . you can go ahead and let me in with the other thousand of victor - haters , but somehow , i am the lead suspect here . nick : you are the only one on the list who knew what happened to j.t . phyllis : that 's fair enough . but consider this -- there was never a gun involved at all with j.t . 's murder . the kind that was left at the stables for the cops to find . why would i try to trick the cops with the wrong murder weapon ? nick : to cover up your own guilt ? if all the attention is on my dad , then they 're not looking at you or mom or vick . phyllis : i never pretended to give a damn about your father , and i wish he 'd served every day of original sentence for what he did to me . but this is a fact , nick . i did not frame your father . but now that it happened , why are we not letting him take the heat ? he will never be convicted . letting everyone think he is guilty is the only way to keep nikki safe . nick : okay , so you are just worried about my mom . phyllis : i am worried about our family . summer , faith , christian should not see their grandmother rot in prison . come on , you know that victor loves playing the noble protector . let him take the fall . nick : so if he 's not acquitted , then `` oh , well . `` phyllis : you know what , i told you -- i did not frame him . and i need you to trust me on this . but you don't . i mean , you really do not . nick : there 's just been too many lies , phyllis , and not just to me , but to mom and victoria . phyllis : what are you talking about ? nikki and victoria have also lied . they 've lied to you , they lied to the cops , they lied to every single person that i 've lied to , and yet , i 'm the villain . how about you tell me why you cut them the slack that you refuse to cut me ? cane : you know , i racked my brain to try and understand how i could have hurt lily like this again . you know , i want to -- i want to do what is right , you know ? and ... you know , every night , i tell sam how much she misses him and how much she loves him and just how lucky he is to have her in his life . and , you know , with the twins , i mean , they 're coping , but things come up , and when they do , we deal with is as a family because , you know , like , i say to myself in times like these , `` what would lily do ? `` you know ? because she 's my guidepost . but when she 's not with me , i just ... it 's like i make these mistakes , you know , like with victoria , and i self - sabotage , you know ? i prove to myself that i do n't deserve her , and i don't . because she 's in there , and i 'm out here , and i -- i cracked . because when she 's not with me , i 'm not the man that i want to be . kerry : well , this is a new side of you . jack : what , expecting the courtesy of an honest explanation ? kerry : setting a trap for me to walk into . jack : what is going on here ? why are n't you giving me a straight answer ? if you do n't want to see me , for whatever reason , just be mature enough to tell me directly . i 'm a big boy , it wo n't crush me . kerry : what is it you think ? what , that i 'm hiding another man ? jack : i do n't know , are you ? kerry : i am an adult , jack . if i wanted to see another man , i would see him without sneaking around . jack : then where were you yesterday ? and why did n't you want me to know ? arturo : so , i finally get home . it 's like 1 : 00 , 2 : 00 in the morning , pitch- black , and here i am thinking that i finally pulled one over on him , and then he just swooped in and put me in a headlock and made me promise to never be late again . [ laughter ] rey : and you were always late . arturo : this is true . uh , mia , what can i say that rey already has n't ? you two truly have something special . i mean , look how it made me act , busting in your renewal , making me want that same forever for myself . thank you , for always setting the example for me , brother . even when i was too dumb to get it . i 'm smarter now , and you were right all along . i just hope in a not - too - distant future , you 're the one on the hot seat trying to come up with a toast when you 're the best man at my wedding . [ laughter ] cheers to rey and mia . cheers . cheers ! cheers . to rey and mia . rey : salud . arturo : salud . mia : mm . lola : now it 's arturo 's turn . he was so sure it was never going to happen . i mean , i am serious . he was about constructions and trucks and about being single . kyle : love takes time . like anything good , it 's worth the wait . lola : you 're very right , and when i am done waiting personally , i will let you know . mia : that was so sweet , the way you could n't hold back during my ceremony . arturo : i 'm sorry , mia . i did n't mean to overstep . mia : oh , no , no . the timing was perfect . i mean , of course you had to do it right when rey and i were pledging our eternal love for each other . abby may think it 's all about her , but you and i both know better . jack : we need privacy for this , huh ? kerry : [ scoffs ] i happen to think everyone is entitled to privacy , for whatever reason . but you asked me a question , and i am happy to answer . i was in traffic court . jack : come again ? kerry : and not just for an unpaid parking meter . i have a glove compartment full of tickets -- wrong side of the street , no parking after 8 : 00 pm , permit- only ... i keep telling myself , `` kerry , write the damn check , `` but then ... i do n't know , i 'd discover a new compound or we have to tweak a fragrance ... jack : you were in traffic court , and you thought somehow i would think less of you . kerry : just now , you told me to be mature enough to tell the truth . well , i am mature , jack . i 've been taking care of myself for a very long time . i pride myself on my competence . my work requires intense precision . and yet , i 've got this annoying glitch , this weakness . and i admit it , i did n't want you to know . jack : [ chuckles ] i have to admit , i 'm a little relieved that you 're not perfect . kerry : [ scoffs ] jack : you could have told me . kerry : jack ... i like you . so much . you know that by now . and i think we 're doing a really good job of getting to know each other . so , please , do n't take some canceled date or miscommunication as a sign that i 'm not interested because i am . very . jack : so am i . very . kerry : good to know . now , i have a ton of work to do and a frozen yogurt that 's turning into a puddle as we speak , so ... jack : well , i 'll , uh -- i 'll let you get to that . see you soon ? kerry : i think you will . neil : so , we appreciate you being upfront about what 's going on in your head . cane : will you then help me ? will you please help me ? just -- just get lily to talk to me , please . neil : no . not gon na happen . cane : [ sighs ] neil : you have some work to do on your own . whatever demons you got to deal with , you better deal with them . devon : she ca n't help you with those , man . she 's got too much going on for herself . neil : and when lily 's ready , you 'll know . until then , you 're on your own . sink or swim , man , it 's up to you . cane : what about mattie and charlie ? i mean , they do n't know about victoria . is lily gon na tell them ? neil : i do n't know . but she 's their mother . it 's up to her . she may be locked up , but she gets to call the shots now with her kids and with her marriage . rey : thank you for coming . it means a lot . i know it 's not , uh ... i just -- i really appreciate it . sharon : you 're my friend , rey . your happiness means everything to me . rey : even though , for a second there ... sharon : for a second , you 're right , i might have pictured something other than friendship . but that was n't an option . not really . i wish you the best of everything . arturo : i 'm not doing this with you , mia . mia : why not ? we 're all family here , and i thought i was very gracious , not shoving you out the door when you tried to outshine me on my special day . arturo : you and rey are happy and in love . you just said you wanted everyone to know it . so why do you still care what i do now ? mia : because i care about you , arturo . you are part of my heart . you 're part of my family . she 's not the one you want . and you 'll try so hard , and then you 'll realize she 's not the one you love . because i know . it 's not the way i know you can love . arturo : enjoy your night , mia , because i plan to enjoy celebrating my engagement to abby . abby : hi . nick : do i like it that mom and vick kept this secret from me ? no . but i was really hoping that you and i could be honest with each other this time . phyllis : like when you did n't tell me that nikki confessed to you ? nick : i was just protecting my mom . phyllis : so was i . nick : look , i hated it that i had to lie to you . phyllis : but you did it anyway . and that 's okay for you , but i should have just fallen apart and spilled . no . but the motives are different , right ? i mean , you 're the hero , and i 'm the woman that ca n't be trusted . nick : look , mom was a wreck , vick was traumatized . with you , lying is just so easy . phyllis : wait a minute , is that the issue here ? that i gave an epic performance ? i did n't lose my mind . i did n't cry . i did n't quiver . i kept a secret that all of us agreed to keep . the problem is , i know how to keep my mouth shut . nick : you are helping me raise christian . phyllis : no , this is n't good , nick . you should stop . [ sighs ] if you think that because i am so tough that you can talk to me that way , you can't . i was the protector this time . i was the person that stood between your mother and a prison cell . and it worked . i made it happen because i am such a damn - good liar . and if i would have been better , if i would have been nicer and more honest , what , the truth would have come out . but just because i am lying as much as the rest of them , somehow , i am an evil and heartless woman . nick : no . no , no . that is not what i 'm saying . phyllis : oh , no , i am . i am helping you raise christian , but -- oh , no -- i might be tainted . and since this is a concern for you , i 'm gon na give you a heads up . you almost let another heartless woman raise your son . nick : what are you talking about ? phyllis : is n't it funny that you have n't once asked what sharon was doing while everything was going down when you knew she was there that night . why would all of the drama be escaped by her ? it wasn't . she was there . she was there when j.t . died , she was there when we digged the grave , and she 's been lying as much as the rest of us . and when she put on that little performance at your wedding , accusing you of all your lies and all of your deceit , that little saintly dishrag had a secret of her own . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... show me some skin , fellas . let 's see those abs . arturo : mia , i 'm not gon na let you ruin this for me . mia : what am i ruining , arturo ? you got the girl . arturo : you have your relationship with rey . you guys are happy . let me have mine . nick : i want the truth . every single thing that happened that night . sharon : what are you gon na do with it ? nick : i want to hear what you have to say first , and then we will decide what we 're gon na do next . victor : someone broke in . my granddaughter 's missing , and i want you to find her a.s.a.p .

[ scene_break ] victor : let me get this straight . you 're leaving jabot to go work for newman enterprises ? could you explain that to me ? sharon : well , i 'm not sure there 's much to explain . um , nick 's been after me for weeks to go to work for him . victor : so you 're doing this to make your husband happy . sharon : that 's part of it , yeah . nick says that he barely sees me anymore , and i guess i feel the same way . with both of our jobs , we just do n't have that much time together . victor : and you think by working together , you will solve that problem ? sharon : well , we would see each other a lot more . and now that he 's promoted drucilla , he needs to fill the spokesperson position . victor : he should n't have promoted drucilla in the first place , but that 's another story . sharon : um , i do n't know what else to say . i hope you understand . victor : i understand perfectly , sharon . but your resignation could n't have come at a more inopportune time . [ scene_break ] brad : no , no , no , no . bill , do n't move anything yet . i think we 're good to go , but i want to check one last thing first . ( knock on door ) brad : yeah , i 'll get back to you . thanks . ashley : hey . brad : hi . how 's abby doing ? ashley : she 's better . i dropped her off at school this morning . frances will pick her up and take her to your place later . so you wanted to see me ? i 've got a very full plate today . brad : yeah , that 's right . uh , this company is n't going to fix itself , is it ? ashley : i hope that means you 're ready to accept that drastic changes are necessary to save jabot , and victor is the one to implement them . brad : so you 're still determined to let victor have his way around here ? ashley : yes , brad , i am , because at least with victor , we have a chance of saving the company . brad : ash , you are so blind on this , so incredibly blind . [ scene_break ] adrienne : hey , there you are . what 's so important that you could n't tell me on the phone ? damon : sit . i thought you would want to hear this news in person . adrienne : what news ? damon : the district attorney 's office has dropped all the charges . adrienne : ( chuckles ) they did ? damon : yeah . adrienne : that 's fantastic . [ scene_break ] daniel : i knew things were gon na work out for you . phyllis : i was hoping they would . daniel : mom , they had to . you were innocent . phyllis : yeah . you know , i 've made some mistakes along the way . but i 've paid for them . i 've paid for all my mistakes . i 'm a little headstrong . being headstrong -- some people do n't particularly like that . and it gets you in a little trouble . [ scene_break ] michael : so when are you gettin ' together with weber ? nikki : soon . bobby and i are meeting him at the ranch . paul : i thought nikki should talk to you first . nikki : do you think that there 's anything i have to worry about ? michael : well , given everything you 've said , i think it highly unlikely that you 'll be facing criminal charges . nikki : yeah , but do i need to have an attorney with me at this meeting ? michael : nikki , i doubt it 's necessary , but you can always call me . paul : nikki , you do n't have to go through with this . nikki : yes , i do . i gave bobby my word . paul : well , it does n't have to be today . i 'm sure bobby would understand if you told him that you need a little time to collect your thoughts . nikki : no , no , i 'll be all right . the sooner i get over this , the sooner i can put it in the past . that 's what i want more than anything . [ scene_break ] dru : i am not upset . malcolm : okay . can i come in ? dru : you 're here . i understand you had a talk with neil . malcolm : yeah . we 're making progress . well , baby steps . dru : why are you really here ? malcolm : drucilla , you know why i 'm here . did you get the saliva sample from lily ? dru : yes , i did , and it was not easy . malcolm : did you send it off to the lab ? dru : i 'm working on it . malcolm : is that it ? dru : yes . malcolm : let me see it . dru : what , you do n't trust me ? malcolm : let me see it , dru . i know you 're not gon na have the results sent here , i hope . dru : no . i 'm gon na have them sent to olivia 's apartment . malcolm : all right , i got ta ask . how do i know the sample in here is from lily ? dru : you 're just gon na have to take my word for it . dru : hi . lily : hi . what 's going on ? what are you guys arguing about ? [ scene_break ] ashley : i am so tired of having this argument with you , brad . victor is here to help the company , period . brad : ash , victor is here to exercise his monumental ego . i mean , come on . he is cutting whole departments , he 's bossing people around . and if that does n't work , he 'll say it was doomed from the start because of someone else . ashley : someone like you ? if victor fails , it 's because people like you would not allow him to succeed . brad : if victor fails , it 'll be because he 's damaged us too much already . ashley : you ca n't keep turning this back onto him . if you do ... i do n't know how much longer i can keep from firing you . [ scene_break ] sharon : i realize that you 're upset . victor : i am , indeed . sharon : look , all we do is cancel my appearances . it 's not like we have some sort of marketing strategy . victor : but that is precisely why i wanted you to accept this assignment ... to re - establish a connection with the industry . sharon : then why not send me to a major trade show ? that would be a much better opportunity for me than hanging around here . victor : oh , i get it . in other words , hanging around here is n't important enough for you . sending you to the smaller cities in the midwest is n't important enough for you . you want a major trade show to go to . is that what this is about , your career ? sharon : no , not entirely . i ... victor , please understand , nick and i do n't want to work for competing companies anymore . we do n't want that kind of strain on our marriage . victor : sharon , i understand this is difficult . but you made the decision to take a job on the outside . you accepted this position . i can not accept your resignation , not just like that . [ scene_break ] michael : okay , if that 's all , i 've got some folders i need to go through . nikki : actually , i have a few more questions . michael : oh , sorry . fire away . nikki : after i talk to the police , is that gon na be enough ? michael : you mean for them to release joshua 's remains ? nikki : yeah . i want him to be able to bury his brother without jumping through more hoops . that 's the last thing he needs . michael : ah , yes . i ca n't speak for weber . the man is meticulous , but i 'm sure he 's eager to wrap this case up as soon as possible . nikki : well , how strong does the proof have to be ? what are they gon na do , test the bones or something ? michael : no , no , that 's doubtful . d.n.a . testing of unpreserved remains is expensive and time - consuming . if the police feel the evidence -- the circumstantial evidence -- is solid enough , they will go ahead and turn over the remains to bobby . nikki : but bobby already told them everything , and it was n't enough . michael : which is why they need to hear it from you . i would n't worry about this , nikki . the evidence you have seems to be conclusive . the police have established the age and gender of the skeleton , and you are in possession of a coroner 's report that establishes that the child was shot . nikki : and the skeleton was also found buried behind the building where my father used to work . michael : and all that might be enough to satisfy the police . paul : might ? is there something else we should be doing ? michael : there 's not much more you can do , unless there 's something you have n't told me , something else that might support your claim . [ scene_break ] brittany : everything 's gon na work out , bobby . i 'm sure once nikki tells the police what happened , they 'll be glad to cooperate . bobby : well , if they believe her story . brittany : why would n't they ? it 's not like she has any reason to lie . bobby : yeah , you know that , i know that , but sometimes the cops see things completely different . where the hell is nikki ? you know , weber 's gon na be here any minute . let me call her . brittany : bobby . bobby : what ? brittany : i really want to be here when you and nikki talk to him . bobby : yeah . well , i 'd like that , too . [ scene_break ] daniel : well , i hear you , mom , but , well , being as resourceful as you are , sometimes that 's a good thing , right ? phyllis : it 's always a good thing , believe me . daniel : i wish i coulda seen you disguised like a man , goin ' after that dominic guy . phyllis : it was good . it was fun . okay , showtime . ( deep voice ) showtime , folks . it 's show -- ( deeper voice ) it 's showtime , folks . ( normal voice ) i got ta tell ya , i had it down . i had the man thing down . i mean , i had the walk and i got -- ( deep voice ) i got the voice down . i had that voice . daniel : ( laughs ) phyllis : ( laughs ) ahem . but you know , i 'm glad i did it , because -- because damon really came through for me . he saved me from dominic . daniel : yeah , and you came through for him , too . phyllis : yeah , we 're even . daniel : okay , so what does that mean ? i mean , damon said he wants to be a part of our lives . but was he just saying that , or did he really mean it ? [ scene_break ] adrienne : now that you do n't have this hanging over your head , what looms in your future ? damon : ah , you mean now that i have a future ? that 's a ... ( chuckles ) that 's a good question . tie up a few loose ends , i suppose . maybe get outta genoa city for awhile , take a vacation . adrienne : that might be just what you need . damon : i 'm thinking someplace tropical . adrienne : hmm . damon : get outta this cold . adrienne : sounds good . damon : you wan na come ? adrienne : oh ... thank you , damon . that 's very sweet . but , um ... i just returned from the tropics . i 'm actually enjoying the cold for a change . damon : yeah . you know , i ... i reckon maybe i better stick around -- stick around town , too . i have taken too much leave from jabot already . adrienne : yeah . diving back into work might be -- might be a good thing . damon : that means i 'll be around to ask you out . adrienne : your ex - wife , on a date ? damon : would that be all right ? adrienne : well , we were headed for that haystack the other day . i think a date would be appropriate . adrienne : you must be exhausted . damon : drained . adrienne : why do n't you stay here by the fire and relax ? i am going to ... ( chuckles ) fix the makeup . adrienne : i 'll be back . [ scene_break ] dru : honey , what are you doing back here ? lily : history was canceled . i had two free periods , so i thought i 'd come home to study . dru : oh , okay . lily : you still have n't said what you were arguing about . dru : oh , we were n't arguing . your uncle stopped by to say hi . lily : right . oh , and by the way , i know that you ended up getting that swab of saliva from me last night . i was only half asleep when you came into my room . dru : why did n't you say something ? lily : i did n't want to spoil your fun . you thought you were being all sneaky . dru : oh , yeah . lily : but it 's a waste of time , though , 'cause i 'm not coming down with strep . i feel fine . dru : well , better to be safe than sorry , honey . lily : yeah , whatever . anyway , i 'll be in my room if you need me . dru : okay . now do you believe me ? malcolm : sorry i doubted you . well , look , why do n't i drive with you over to the post office ? we 'll mail it together . dru : no , thank you . i have a courier service coming . he should be here any minute , so ... malcolm : okay , good . that 's even better . mind if i wait around ? dru : are you joking me ? you still do n't trust me ? malcolm : drucilla , humor me . pretend i 'm not here , do what you got ta do , but i 'm waitin ' . [ scene_break ] hank : you expect me to believe that you repressed this incident for this many years ? nikki : well , it 's the truth . hank : you 're not just providing an explanation for your friend here , are you ? bobby : oh , come on . brittany : you 're acting like nikki is some sort of criminal . this was a childhood tragedy , that 's all . hank : i realize that , miss hodges , but there 's a cold case we 're trying to get off the books here . i do n't feel like we have enough to tie it together . bobby : what , are you kidding me ? i just told you , you have all of it in the old police report . my brother disappeared at a birthday party at nikki 's house . nikki just told you what happened to her friend joshua , my brother . what part of that ca n't you tie together ? hank : we just have to be sure , mr. marsino . mrs. newman , is there anything else you want to tell me ? is there any more evidence ? brittany : what about that movie ? hank : what movie ? bobby : it 's a home movie from nikki 's 5th birthday party . hank : how can you be sure that this movie can prove that the remains found behind the rec center belong to joshua cassen ? paul : oh , trust me , hank , you 'll know it when you see it . hank : all right . let 's take a look at this movie . [ scene_break ] brad : what the hell are you saying , ash ? ashley : you should probably know this , that victor is hell - bent on my firing you , brad . brad : fire me ? me ? i 'm not some flunky taking home a paycheck , ash . i 'm part- owner of this company . i have a seat on the board . i ca n't just be fired . ashley : well , i 'm aware of all that , but , you know , you have become part of the problem . you 're not part of the solution . brad : so if you side with newman against me , who 's next ? where do you draw the line , ash ? ashley : wherever we have to . brad : wherever we have to , huh ? pretty cavalier , do n't you think ? so what happens when newman decides that you 're underfoot ? better yet , your dad ? what happens when victor instructs you to remove your father from jabot 's board of directors ? what are you going to do then , ash ? [ scene_break ] sharon : i do n't understand . look , um , i 'm giving you my 2-week notice , and , uh , i 'll even train my replacement . victor : that wo n't be necessary . sharon : why ? victor : because we 're not gon na replace you . this company has spent a lot of time and effort to train you . you 're privy to company secrets . do you honestly think that i 'll let you go to the competition , even if it is your husband ? we will not release you from your contract . sharon : but i did n't sign a contract . victor : that 's ridiculous . everyone signs a contract . sharon : not me . i did n't sign anything . i filled out a few tax forms when they hired me on here . victor : tell me that is n't true . sharon : i swear it . brad and i had a handshake . that was it . victor : they hired you without you signing a contract ? that is preposterous . sharon : so does that mean you have to let me go ? victor : just another manifestation of how ineptly this company has been run . how the hell can they hire you without you signing a damn contract ? that 's absolutely unbelievable . now having said that , if you recall , you and i had a conversation about you taking on an outside job . i did n't want you to do that . i wanted you to stay home with the children , because unless you have to take a job , being a mother is far more important as far as i 'm concerned . i am not gon na release you from this contract .

[ scene_break ] hank : okay . bobby : okay what ? hank : okay , the movie does confirm that joshua cassen was at that birthday party . but beyond that , i do n't see how it proves that the remains are his . paul : look , hank , um , maybe this will clear things up for you . if you examine it carefully and compare it with the tape , you 'll see that that is one of the earrings that nikki received as a birthday gift . hank : where did you get this ? paul : it was found at the excavation site next to the body . hank : what the hell are you doing with it , paul ? paul : one of my associates found it just before the police arrived . hank : and he took it from the scene ? paul : look , hank , he 's a young kid . he does n't know what he 's doing . hank : no , but you sure do . paul : i never knew that all of this was gon na come to light . hank : you do realize what this means , do n't you ? i can charge you with obstruction of justice . matter of fact , that 's exactly what i should do .

[ chuckles ] adam : what an idiot . seriously , though . who gives a damn anyway , right ? none of it matters if chelsea 's shutting me out . sage : get it together . nick : twice in one night ? sage : nick , hi . so nice to see you again . thank you so much for your hospitality , and i 'm really very sorry about the misunderstanding with sharon . nick : ah , do n't worry about it . sharon overreacted . she 's pretty quick to jump all over me ever since i filed for full custody of our daughter . adam : yeah , well , do n't blame her . sharon : nightmare 's over , baby . it 's all right now . faith : it was scary . sharon : oh . you want to tell me about it ? faith : dad was mad . he did n't want me to come over anymore because i was mean to that lady without pants . [ sniffles ] sharon : well , it was only a dream . faith : but daddy did send me to my room because i was rude . i said my tummy hurt when it did n't . sharon : well , you apologized for that . faith : to you , but not to daddy . what if daddy stays mad at me ? sharon : he wo n't , faith . i know that it was confusing for you to see that woman at daddy 's house , but you do n't have to worry about her . faith : i do n't ? sharon : do n't ever think your daddy does n't love you . we both adore you , honey . faith : but you 're still mad at each other . sharon : well , yes . daddy and i have been having trouble working things out between the two of us , so we are getting some help . faith : from who ? sharon : from some lawyers and a judge . they 're good people , and they want to work out what the best situation is for you . because that 's what matters the most . faith : i just want us all to be together again . kevin : do you feel better now ? mariah : processed sugar does a person good . kevin : oh , the sugar , huh ? mariah : the company was n't terrible , either . kevin : okay , ease up with the compliments . all this flattery is gon na go right to my head . mariah : fine . no more compliments for you . kevin : so you want to tell me why you were crying earlier ? mariah : i was just being dumb . kevin : you 're not dumb . you were hurt or upset or whatever , and i 'd like to help . mariah : you have . well , thank you for the doughnut and the tea , but i should be headed home . kevin : okay . i 'll see you around . mariah : you know ... i could go home alone in the dark or ... you could give me a ride . kevin : so demanding . mariah : [ laughs ] dylan : we need to get something clear . avery : dylan , let 's just go . let 's just walk right out the door . dylan : i know what you 've done . joe : and that would be ? dylan : you had those guys give me a beating . joe : i thought we already cleared this up ? dylan : i know you did it , and i know it was n't just about business . joe : again , i had nothing to do -- dylan : you did it so you could get avery back . joe : interesting conclusion . dylan : you 're doing everything that you can to drive a wedge between me and avery , and i 'm not gon na let it happen ! joe : as if that would matter . you ca n't control what she does . avery : joe , do n't antagonize him ! he has a gun ! avery : please , dylan , joe understands everything you said , so we 're done here . let 's just go . joe : yeah , what 's the plan , mcavoy ? you just gon na shoot me ? go ahead . avery : no , dylan , no ! joe : then neither of us will have her . i 'll be dead and you 'll be rotting in prison . dylan : that might be worth it . avery : dylan , would you just listen to me , please ? please ! dylan : i could use my gun . avery : no . dylan ! dylan : but i do n't need to . i was special forces . you know that , joe ? i could kill you in a number of ways and nobody would ever know . joe : you talk a big game . avery : dylan , please . dylan : you do n't believe me ? joe : no . dylan : you do n't believe i could or you do n't believe i would ? because i can assure you ... that if i 'm put in the position , i am capable of taking another man 's life . chelsea : gabriel did n't hit on me or anything . billy : okay , so what did he say to you ? chelsea : nothing inappropriate . billy : but he makes you feel uncomfortable . chelsea : he just seems to know a lot about me . billy : really ? like what ? chelsea : he said this one thing about how i 've come a long way from being the girl that used to sit in the lobby of hotel athenee in paris and pretend to be a guest there . that 's true , billy . i did that . it just kind of threw me . billy : and when you asked him how he knew that ? chelsea : he said that he read about it in an interview . billy : but clearly you do n't believe him . chelsea : i just do n't remember mentioning that in an interview . but i guess i must have , right ? i mean , only a handful of people know that story , and i 'm sure he has n't spoken to them . i mean , chloe . my mom , adam . it just felt very personal , you know ? billy : yeah . i do n't know , maybe -- maybe he knew he was gon na be working with you , so he just did a ton of research . chelsea : well , that 's the other thing . i just had a hard time believing that this guy was that interested in my work . but he really understood how important this clothing line is to me . it was as if he had , like , looked inside my head . [ chuckles ] billy : okay , so , what are you saying here , chels ? i mean , do you think the guy -- that he 's stalking you ? chelsea : no , no . i know you do n't like the guy , billy , but stalking ? come on . billy : well , i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt with the whole research thing , but he keeps showing up everywhere . he 's saying things you never told him . do -- do you want me to talk to jack about this ? chelsea : no , no . no . gabriel has not done anything overtly wrong . billy : he creeps you out . chelsea : you know what ? maybe -- maybe you were right , what you said . maybe he did a lot of research on me because he wanted to make a good impression at his new job . billy : or he 's stalking you . chelsea : [ chuckles ] or that . billy : seriously , chels . i mean , maybe the guy 's interested in more than just your business . nick : that 's a pretty strong opinion from someone who does n't really know what 's going on or any of the players involved . sage : i do n't think gabriel meant it that way . did you , gabriel ? adam : no . of course not . i did n't mean to offend you . i 'm sorry . sage : yeah , he 's definitely not in a position to comment on your life . is n't that right , gabriel ? adam : no , no , i 'm not at all . did you ever have one of those days ? nick : yeah . i 'm having one today . adam : [ chuckles ] i 'm sorry , man . look , i did n't mean to take your ex 's side or make it seem like you had done anything wrong , especially since i do n't know the whole story , you know , or any of the story , really . so , sorry . nick : well , how could you ? adam : yeah . yeah . but one thing i do know , um , is that when it comes to relationships and children , emotions get heightened , you know ? things get complicated , people start fighting even when they did n't mean to , so ... nick : sounds like you 've been there . adam : well , yeah , i 've had an ex or two in my life . nick : but no kids ? adam : no , no . so i 'll just keep my mouth shut . nick : listen , man , i know it takes a toll . in fact , that 's why i came here today so i can beat up that bag a little bit , too . sage : i 'm really sorry , nick . i would n't stop by if i knew it would cause this much trouble . nick : you do n't need to apologize , sage . none of this has anything to do with you . sharon : i am furious with your father . he had this woman -- this sage person at his house tonight . faith was so upset , she had to call me to come over there and pick her up . noah : okay , mom , faith has a history of disliking any woman that dad is friends with . sharon : no , it was more than that , noah . faith heard nick tell this friend to take off her clothes . noah : i do n't think dad would do that , really . do you ? sharon : well , since she was over there wearing nick 's robe ... noah : okay , i think that we 're not getting the whole picture here . faith is a kid . maybe she got it wrong . or , i 'm sorry to say , maybe she lied about it . sharon : faith did not lie . when i went over there to check on her , i saw the whole situation for myself . noah : mom , maybe there 's a reasonable explanation that we 're missing here . sharon : your sister is devastated . i just came from upstairs , calming her from a nightmare . a nightmare that had her father furious with her for ratting him out . i -- i have got to do something about this . noah : no , no , mom , you do n't . no , what you need to do right now is not get yourself caught up in this . sharon : and what ? just ignore it ? noah , if you had seen how upset your little sister was . noah : i understand that faith was upset , okay ? i 'm not surprised . but , really , mom , i think that you just need to sleep on this , okay , and talk to dad more calmly about it in the morning . sharon : i have tried to talk to your father . it -- it does no good , nothing . i wo n't talk to him about this again . noah : then what are you gon na do ? sharon : i 'm gon na use this to bury him in court . noah : [ sighs ] chelsea : as much as you being all protective and macho earns you some boyfriend points ... billy : i 'm just doing what comes naturally . chelsea : ... i do n't want you assuming gabriel 's interest in me is anything beyond professional . billy : okay , but what if it is ? i do n't want him making you nervous , and i do n't want to have to put a fist through his face . we have to work with this guy . chelsea : yeah , we do -- we both do . so stop turning his curiosity into something it 's not . billy : if he 's coming onto you -- chelsea : billy , stop . he 's not . i took care of it . i did . and from now on , i will keep gabriel at a distance . we 'll just see what happens from there . okay ? billy : all right . but you just say the word and i 'll have a little talk with him . chelsea : [ chuckles ] enough . this date is supposed to be about us . billy : all i want in this moment is to see you relaxed and happy and enjoying a glass of your favorite champagne . chelsea : you play your cards right , and maybe you 'll be able to take me home for a private celebration of our own . noah : dad . hey . i was hoping you would be here . nick : hey , bud . what 's up ? noah : hey , um ... do i know you ? adam : yeah , um , coffee shop . noah : right , you were looking for a place to stay . you found it . good . adam : thanks to you . appreciate it . nick : gabe , sage , this is my son , noah . sage : nice to meet you . noah : sage . nick : yeah , gabriel 's an old friend of mine from boarding school and sage is the woman who saved me from the bear trap . noah : oh , i see . i see . well , great meeting you . uh , i 'm really not sure how that happened still , but thank you for rescuing my dad . sage : i 'm glad to do it . noah : i 'm sorry . can i talk to you for a second ? it 's important . nick : uh , sure . excuse me . noah : so , i just came from mom 's , okay ? this situation with the custody , it 's about to escalate . nick : what happened ? noah : well , she 's all worked up because apparently faith heard you telling some woman to take her clothes off . sage : that 's not what it sounds like . nick : that is not what happened , all right ? sage came by my place to drop something off , she knocked over this vase , had some water in it . it got on her clothes . i offered to put her clothes in the dryer . that 's it . noah : okay , uh , well , i guess faith did n't hear all that . nick : well , probably not . i 'm sure sharon 's reading into it because she 's jealous . noah : yeah , that may be part of it . nick : no , that 's all of it . noah : dad , faith was really upset tonight , and that 's what 's getting to mom . nick : well , faith was just fine when she left my place . noah : okay , well , would you mind just coming over and talking to mom ? try to sort this thing out before it gets worse ? nick : did you tell her i was punishing you ? sharon : no . she 's a smart little girl . i told her that i had done something wrong and these are the consequences . nick : well , the consequences now are that my daughter hates me right now . thank you . sharon : well , no one 's forcing you to sue for custody , nick . okay , i did something wrong . how you choose to handle it , that 's up to you . nick : i 'm gon na handle it by doing whatever 's best for faith , no matter what . sharon : we have n't even been to court and you act as though you 've already won . nick : once they find out about how you switched that dna evidence , how exactly do you think i 'm gon na lose ? [ cell phone rings ] sharon : oh . david , hi . um , right now ? hold on . do you think that you could watch faith for a little while if i go out ? mariah : oh , yeah , sure . sharon : all right . yeah , i 'm on my way david . okay , bye . mariah : sharon , should n't -- sharon : i wo n't be long . kevin : who 's david ? mariah : her attorney . faith : hi , mariah ! mariah : hi . faith : i 'm thirsty . mariah : oh . are you ? are you for real thirsty or trying to stay up past your bedtime thirsty ? faith : both ? mariah : works for me . all right , let 's get you hydrated . faith : where 's mommy ? mariah : she had to run out . faith : oh , no . it 's because what i told her about that lady at daddy 's . mariah : what lady at daddy 's ? faith : the one wearing his robe . mariah : um , you know what ? i would n't be worried about it . i do n't think your mom 's upset at you . kevin : i 'm gon na run and grab you some water . mariah : yeah , thank you . so , why do n't you start by telling me what happened , and then i 'll see if i can help . faith : then you can fix things with mommy and daddy . dylan : i kept telling you to back off , but you would n't listen . you kept coming after me . you just expect me to sit back and take it ? avery : dylan , please . dylan : this is between me and joe ! you should n't even be here ! joe : no , she should n't , but apparently she still cares about me . why else would she come down here to warn me about you ? she ca n't help herself from protecting me . dylan : you are one smug , delusional son of a bitch . joe : yeah , well , i know my wife . dylan : ex - wife ! ex - wife . avery 's here because she 's looking out for me . she does n't give a damn about you . joe : whatever gets you through the night . dylan : you want to hear what 's gon na get you through the rest of your nights ? not one more hired beating , not one more threatening phone call , not one more play for my fiancée , or i 'm gon na come back ! and if i come back ... you wo n't be taking one more breath . mariah : so , let me get this straight . nick asked the lady to take off her pants ? but that was only because she had knocked over a vase and spilled water on them . your dad was just gon na throw them in the dryer . and i 'm guessing you did n't tell that part to your mom . did you ? faith : i just wanted to be home with mommy and away from daddy and that lady . did i do something wrong , mariah ? am i in trouble ? mariah : oh , are you kidding me ? your parents are crazy about you now and forever . but i 'm glad that you told me the whole story , because it makes a little bit more sense now . so , what do you say ? are you sleepy yet ? you want to head up to bed ? faith : yeah . mariah : yeah ? okay , then . move it . and i will tell your mom to give you an extra kiss good night when she gets home , okay ? faith : i 'm so glad you 're my sister . mariah : all right , get a move on . faith : good night . mariah : good night . [ chuckles ] kevin : good night . well , no wonder sharon was so upset . at least now you can clear things up . hey , what was that ? mariah : what ? kevin : you just looked away , like you 're hiding something . like you 're not gon na tell sharon the truth . sharon : we 've got to use this in my case against nick . i ca n't allow something like this to happen again . david : well , i am glad you finally decided to get aggressive . sharon : i 'm doing this for my daughter . david : this makes our case . no court will grant nick full custody when he 's parading half - naked women around in front of your child . sharon : i 'm ready and willing to testify . i will explain exactly what i saw . david : yeah , well , we 'll need better ammunition than that . we got to put your daughter on the stand . adam : you took your clothes off for my brother ? sage : okay , you know me better than that . adam : i know the way you look at him . sage : [ chuckles ] that was me keeping our part of the bargain , adam , while you were screwing things up with chelsea . mm - hmm . look , you have spent too much time creating this new life to waste it whining , so think . you got to woo yourself back into your wife 's good graces . adam : smile . we have an audience . sage : not a good move . adam : mm , that was an amazing move . this is how i 'm gon na win chelsea back . i 'm gon na make her feel at ease , i 'm gon na make her feel comfortable , by making her think that i have a girlfriend . hold my hand . chelsea . billy . hey . sorry to interrupt , but i have a quick request . chelsea : gabe , as i mentioned , we should only conduct business at jabot . adam : right , actually , i needed , um , a copy of that r & d report from you . your latest one . i have a meeting tomorrow . billy : yeah , no problem . i 'll -- i 'll e - mail it to you . adam : thank you . oh , and , uh , i 'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend . this is sage . chelsea : your girlfriend ? adam : yeah . why ? is that such a shock ? chelsea : no , it 's just -- it 's just that we 've met before . adam : really ? billy : yeah . at my daughter 's memorial site . right before christmas . sage : yeah . adam : well , you did n't tell me that you knew chelsea and billy . sage : well , we did n't exchange names . i was -- had a flat tire and i needed directions and ... chelsea : i 'm afraid i was kind of unpleasant to you when we met here . sage : oh , yeah . it 's fine . chelsea : but i accused you of following me . [ both chuckle ] sage : it was just an odd coincidence . chelsea : yeah , i guess it was . billy : well , it 's nice to meet you , sage , officially . sage : and , oh , chelsea , right ? chelsea : mm - hmm . yes . this is billy . adam : yeah , well , all right . oh , look . let you guys get back to it . billy : you know , why do n't you join us for a drink ? adam : yeah ? sage : no , it 's -- adam : no , we 'd love to . that sounds great . billy : yeah . mariah : kevin , things are n't so black and white . kevin : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . you can not let sharon keep believing that -- mariah : do you want me to kill her one chance at blocking nick getting sole custody ? kevin : even if you do n't think nick should have full custody -- mariah : faith should be with both of her parents . kevin : exactly . so think about what this lie would do to nick . mariah : i 'm not trying to hurt him , okay ? he 's just been so ugly to sharon . kevin : and sharon has been ugly right back . mariah : you saw what this is doing to faith . i do n't want my little sister dragged through this nasty tug of war when all she wants is her family back together . kevin : and deep down you want the same thing . mariah : oh , god , please do n't start with me . kevin : look , i 'm just calling it like i see it . i know how much it scares you to have people around you who care about you , but this is the family you never had . mariah : i just wish that nick and sharon could work it out . [ door opens ] mariah : what are you guys doing here ? nick : i need to talk to sharon and faith . i got to clear some things up . kevin : all right , i 'm gon na leave you to it . mariah : yeah . kevin : see you later ? mariah : yeah . see you later . nick : see you , man . kevin : bye , guys . noah : bye , kevin . mariah : faith is upstairs . she may be asleep already . noah : what about mom ? mariah : she went out . nick : where 'd she go ? mariah ? mariah : she 's with her lawyer . nick : [ sighs ] faith : daddy ! i 'm so sorry , daddy ! nick : what ? sharon : have faith make the case against her father , testifying ? david : yes . she will be perfect . sharon : but i 'm not trying to say that nick is unfit . david : well , nick is saying you 're unfit , is n't he ? sharon : i 'm just gon na leave faith out of this . i 'll take the stand . david : but that wo n't carry the same weight , sharon . there is no better witness to call than your daughter , all right ? as much as she wants her parents back together , she knows her father 's behavior was wrong , which is why she told you what happened . all she 'll be doing in court is telling the truth . sharon : she 's just a little girl . david : which is why the judge and nick 's attorney will go easier on faith than you . sharon : she would be cross - examined . by avery . david : mm - hmm . sharon : faith really dislikes avery . david : well , this ca n't get any better . faith ca n't stand avery , and the esteemed avery clark ca n't rip into a little girl on cross . slam dunk . sharon : i do n't know . david : do you think your ex would hesitate for an instant to do what it takes to win ? sharon : i do n't know what nick would or would n't do these days . dylan : [ sighs ] avery : dylan ! dylan , you ca n't do that . you scared me to death . it was like the incident at the cabin again . dylan : it was nothing like the cabin . i was completely in control . avery : and that 's supposed to make me feel better , that you were completely aware you were making dangerous threats ? dylan : i 'm done with joe clark trying to break us up ! avery : you went too far . i thought you were gon na pull your gun out on him . dylan : that would have been tough . since it 's right here . avery : [ sighs ] you did n't bring it . [ lock box lid slams ] dylan : what were you doing there ? what were you thinking ? running from here right to joe to protect him ? joe : [ sighs ] hey . i need you to call me back . look , i do n't know how much further i can push this deal through . dylan 's lost it . if backing out on this deal steps on what you got planned for victor newman , i -- [ sighs ] look , we got to back out . call me . avery : thought you understood . you told joe -- dylan : i told him what i hoped was the truth . now i 'm asking you . avery : i went there for you . i went to warn joe because i was so worried you were going to do something stupid and get yourself arrested . dylan : you played right into his hands . you got to stay away from that guy . avery : well , you should take your own advice . dylan , joe is n't an issue unless we let him be one . dylan : the guy messed with my business ! he 's messing with our relationship . so he 's warned . if joe knows what 's good for him , he 'll stop right now . okay ? i tried to be polite . i tried to do it the legal way and it did n't work . if joe pushes me again , i 'm gon na kill him . adam : i 'll tell you what . i 'm surprised you asked us to join you . i would have thought you wanted some alone time . billy : no , since we 're all gon na be working together , i figure we should get to know each other . adam : mm . chelsea : how long have you and gabriel been together ? adam : mm . sage : forever . adam : long time . sage : forever . yeah . we go way , way back . adam : mm - hmm . sage : we practically grew up together . adam : we grew up together , and then i looked at her one day and i thought , `` you know what ? we 're sort of more than just pals , you know ? `` billy : yeah . chelsea : that 's sweet . billy : yeah . i know what you mean . you open your eyes and suddenly you 're seeing a good friend in a brand - new way . so , gabe , you 're full of surprises . i mean , meeting your lovely girlfriend here makes me wonder what else we do n't know about you . adam : yeah . yeah . well , what do you want to know ? billy : why did you decide to pursue a job at jabot ? adam : oh , well , it 's a family - run company , which appeals to me . my dad , uh , my dad used to have his own company . billy : yeah ? software , right ? adam : exactly . software . and they were doing well until they were taken over by newman enterprises . sage : we do n't have to talk about that , so ... not a fun topic . billy : no , no . that 's okay . i 'm a charter member of the `` i hate the great victor newman `` club . adam : really ? well , seems like he 's an easy man to hate . billy : well , look at that . something we agree on . who knows what else we 'll find we have in common , huh ? adam : look , i can understand why you were confused by what happened with me and friend sage . but the thing is , is what you told mommy , it confused her , too . faith : mariah said i was n't in trouble . nick : you are definitely not in trouble , all right ? no way . but you need to tell mommy what really happened . okay ? faith : okay . nick : i really do n't want you telling that story to anyone else . faith : okay . mommy , you 're home ! now i can tell you everything ! sharon : you know what ? why do n't you and i talk later , sweetie ? um , mariah , noah , would you mind taking faith back upstairs to bed ? noah : sure . mariah : got it . noah : come on , kiddo . faith : good night . nick : night . mariah : let 's go . nick : you should n't have gone running to your lawyer without finding out the truth . sharon : the truth that you told our daughter to keep quiet about ? nick : no , i just told her -- sharon : you were coaching faith on what to say . nick : no , i was n't . and if you 'd have asked faith more details or , better yet , come to me , we could have avoided this whole thing . sharon : i 'm really not interested in the details about -- nick : sage was in a robe because her clothes got wet and i put them in the dryer . that 's it . that is what happened . and i really do n't want faith running around implying that i 'm sleeping with this woman . sharon : i told you that it would be confusing for faith to see that woman in your house . now , it was your time to spend with our daughter . did you ask sage to leave ? did you even stop to think how it might affect faith to see this woman there in your robe ? and then you have the gall to get angry with her because she reached out to me because she was upset ? nick : that 's not what it -- sharon : she did n't -- she thought you might not ever want her to come over to your house again . nick : why would she think that ? sharon : what else was she supposed to think after the way you acted today ? you know , you run around and tell anyone who will listen that you 're the better parent , but where are your priorities ? nick : wow . sounds like you got some coaching , too . did your lawyer tell you to say that to build up your case ? sharon : [ scoffs ] god ! look at us . i never wanted us to become these people . fighting with each other over everything , battling over our child ! nick : i did n't want to be these people , either , sharon , but you did this to us . sharon : [ sighs ] nick . i betrayed you horribly . do you think maybe you can find a way to get over it ? maybe just for faith 's sake ? so we can put all this behind us , please ? can we find a way to get through this ? nick : i ca n't . and i wo n't . we 're going to trial . sharon : well , then , you leave me no choice . faith is going to have to go to court and tell the judge exactly how she feels about you and that woman . i doubt you 'll end up with full custody then . avery : by declaring war on joe , you 're putting yourself at risk . how can you expect me to accept that ? i love you too much . dylan : you know , i got to finish up some work . i 'll see you at home . [ cell phone rings ] joe : avery ? avery : yeah . joe : hey , i was concerned about you . i mean , you leaving with dylan . that guy 's lost it . avery : dylan 's not messing around , joe . you need to back off . joe : yeah , this call . you stopping by -- i was right . you still care about me . avery : not wanting you dead means nothing beyond that . i do n't know how many times i have to tell you i will never choose you over dylan . joe : look , the only reason you left is because i did n't give you the attention you deserved . avery : [ sighs ] do n't start that now , joe . i want this to end . joe : look , just give me one night , avery . one night so that i can make things up to you without dylan interfering . avery : you 're the one that 's interfering , joe . i want this to stop before something awful happens ! joe : then give me what i want and i 'll stop . i promise . avery : joe . avery : thursday night . meet me at my suite . 9 : 00 p.m . i 'm sure you 'll think of something to tell dylan . billy : thanks for joining us . sage : it was our pleasure . chelsea : good night , sage . gabriel . adam : good night . sage : you should n't have told them i was your girlfriend . we told nick we were friends . how 's he gon na react when he finds out ? adam : you 're worried , right , that you 've lost your chances with my brother if he finds out you 're taken ? sage : that is not what i 'm talking about . this could blow your cover . adam : this is gon na save my cover . look at her . she 's more at ease . she 's less suspicious . now she thinks i 'm taken . this is great . chelsea : i was surprised when you asked gabriel to join us , and then i realized what you were doing . billy : always keep the enemy close . chelsea : you really think that he 's the enemy ? billy : look , anybody who hates victor gets points in my book , but there 's still something off about the guy . i mean , okay , how many times have you and i talked to him ? chelsea : a few . billy : exactly , and this is the first time either of us have heard anything about a girlfriend . so while you 're keeping your distance , i 'm gon na be getting to know gabriel bingham a little bit better . chelsea : because of jabot ? billy : that and to make sure that you 're okay . not that you ca n't take care of yourself . chelsea : i can . but i appreciate you looking out for me . faith : mommy and daddy are fighting again , and it 's all my fault . noah : hey , no . no , it 's not . mariah : parents are just dealing with stuff that is way too grownup for you to understand . noah : [ sighs ] faith : do you think they 'll get back together ? noah : i do n't know . okay ? but whatever happens between mom and dad , we are always gon na be family , okay ? faith : okay . noah : come here . always . nick : you would use faith to testify against me in court . not only will i do that , i will also file a court order to keep you from seeing her and coaching her before the trial . nick : this is ridiculous . sharon : you 're the one who painted me into this corner by pushing for full custody . nick : i did n't push you to use faith to testify against me . sharon : i am fighting for faith . i 'm fighting for my relationship with my daughter . now , you seem to think you need to protect her against me ? well , guess what ? i need to protect her , too , from more nights like this , where you do n't have your head on straight . but you know what ? we 're gon na do it your way . we 're gon na let the judge hear everything and then decide . nick : do n't you dare manipulate my daughter and get her to lie about me in front of that judge . sharon : i do n't need her to lie . i just need the judge to ask her who she would rather be with , and i think we both know damn well what she 's gon na say . [ next_on ] cane : did you give the money to colin ? devon : why would you think that ? cane : does he know about you and hilary ? jill : i 'm gon na fight like hell . victor : you 'll go down in grand fashion . that is probably what katherine wanted . jack : i appreciate that . thank you .

victoria : there . that 's better . [ chuckles ] billy : i 'm sorry . it must be the meds . victoria : they reduced your painkillers yesterday . billy : did i say meds ? i meant beds . come on . get up in here . it 's cold and lonely in here . victoria : i think we 'll have plenty of time for that when we get home . billy : which should 've been yesterday . let 's go . victoria : dr. shelby 's not gon na let that happen . billy : dr. shelby does n't know what he 's talking about . come on . let 's get out of here . victoria : this is our second chance , okay ? i do n't want to rush it . so forget about internet deals and bookies and loans . all that matters is us , so you 're staying put . so just deal with it . billy : okay . fine . i need to be here , but it does n't mean you have to be here . so why do n't you go check out chelsea 's fashion show ? victoria : [ sighs ] it 's probably over by now anyway . i 'm fine here . billy : i see what you 're doing . gon na stay here to block the door so i do n't bolt . victoria : is that your plan , mr. abbott ? chelsea : where are the emts ? i mean , we need emts . adam : i 'm fine . i 'm not injured , okay ? chelsea : you 're not okay . nothing about this is okay . you were kidnapped and held hostage . if anything had happened to you ... victor : sweetheart , he 's fine . the exchange was made . the kidnapper 's in custody . adam : well , the hired muscle is in custody . the woman behind the man is still out there somewhere . jack : uh , how do you know it was a woman ? did you hear her voice , see her face ? adam : no , i just heard him say `` yes , ma'am `` on the phone . jack : then she could be anywhere . she could be in europe . adam : europe ? where -- where you getting that ? chelsea : it 's all this stupid deal , adam . it 's all about internet software and a hacker kevin found in switzerland . this maniac woman kidnapped you so she could force victor 's hand , so she could force him out of the deal . adam : is that true ? paul : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa ! hey , hey , hey . take it easy , huh ? dylan : [ sighs ] you enjoy that , slick -- taking a swing at me ? assaulting an officer , resisting arrest , oh , and -- and kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment ? man , you are just racking up the charges . you want some more ? you better start talking right now . paul : you know , i 'm thinking you might want to help yourself out here . we know you 're not the mastermind of the kidnapping . you know , people do things for money . it happens . we want to know who hired you . acted on my own . dylan : oh , come on . chief , this guy is lying . let me take him in . paul : you -- you -- you 're not taking it easy on yourself . just give us something , you know , something at all , like a face , a name . it was all by phone . paid in cash . did n't get a name . dylan : nothing . then you 're going down for this on your own . phyllis : put your bag down . we 're staying . natalie : who are you ? what do you want ? phyllis : well , i am hurt , quite honestly , 'cause i thought we had a connection . think back . we needed funding for the program . kevin was stalling . and then like an angel out of heaven , a new investor came calling . well , maybe not heaven , but they fixed your project . natalie : that was you , the other investor ? phyllis : that was me . i 'm phyllis . and i have been wanting to talk to you about the bugs in your system . not exactly what i paid for . natalie : well , it 's not like it was on purpose . phyllis : well , you did , on purpose , make a deal with kevin and victor . and , now , i know you 're a genius with code . but you 're little iffy on business ethics . natalie : i did n't double - cross you , exactly . i only went to victor for protection after you had someone freaking kidnapped . phyllis : that 's right . freaking adam newman . and if you ask victor himself , he will say it was nothing personal . just business . nick : you can not be serious . you want me to have sage committed ? dr. anderson : for sage 's sake and your own . it would be an act of caring on your part . nick : s - sandy , i 've done this before with sharon , in and out , and to go through it again with sage ? dr. anderson : nick , it 's time . sage is paranoid , irrational . she -- she even sees me as a threat . and now she has sharon worried about her spending time with sully . if you -- if you care about her , get her the help she needs . sage : you 're having dinner with her ? what the hell 's going on ? stay away from my husband , you evil , twisted bitch . mariah : you have checked that thing about a thousand times . is the baby all right ? sharon : yeah , he 's fine . he 's perfect . i 'm just nervous about dylan . mariah : dylan knows what he 's doing . he 's gon na get adam back , protect natalie even though she does n't deserve it , and keep himself safe in the meantime . sharon : i know , i know , i know , i know . mariah : [ chuckles ] okay , then , what ? is there something else ? sharon : yes . it 's sage , actually . she was here earlier . she was dropping off faith . mariah : okay ... ? sharon : and i would n't let her see sullivan . mariah : why not ? she 's always been great with him . sharon : has she ? because i wonder now . maybe it was too much too soon . sage was tense . she was angry , and she was accusing dr. anderson of attacking her . mariah : well , was dr. anderson attacking her ? sharon : no . dr. anderson was merely ... pointing out that sage is kind of spinning out of control . and , you know , i 'm sorry . i feel for her . i really do . but i can not leave her near sullivan until she gets help . nick : okay , we do n't need to do this here . let 's go home . sage : he was supposed to tell you to back off . that 's why he wanted to meet you , not have this cozy , little dinner date . nick : it 's not a date . sage : well , it looks like an ambush to me , nick . i thought you were believing in me . this woman has been going around town , badmouthing me to everyone -- to you and to sharon . sharon wo n't let me see her baby now because of you . are you proud of yourself ? dr. anderson : my advice was out of concern for you and for the baby . sage : are you hearing this , nick ? dr. anderson : sage , do you see that this is not normal behavior ? your fixation on sharon 's baby is -- sage : am i fixated on sully ? do i hold him too close ? do i call him christian ? nick : no . of course not . sage : then i 'm fine . i 'm fine to be around sully . you 've said so yourself . dr. anderson : sage , do you see what you 're doing ? you 're attacking your own husband . sage : you have weaseled your way into our lives . nick and i both know that . nick : look , i respect your feelings , but this is not you . sage : she did it . she got to you . you were on my side , and now you 're suddenly on her side . nick : no , this is not about sides , okay ? i just think we should get out of here so we can -- sage : no , i do n't want to get out of here , nick , because you 're a traitor ! sharon : sage was so worked up and angry about dr. anderson , and i know that kind of behavior . that 's paranoia . that 's certainty that the whole world is against you . i could n't just let sage be around sully like that , could i ? mariah : i hear you , but what if sage is n't paranoid ? what if dr. anderson is wrong ? sharon : dr. anderson is a professional . mariah : who acted more like a warden than a doctor when you were at fairview . sharon : okay , but maybe that was what i needed . you know , the baby turned out healthy . so did i . mariah : true . true . then why is she still involved in your life ? even showing up the night that you and dylan got married . she is always around , and it 's not just you . it 's nick and sage , as well . it 's bizarre . sharon : i think when dr. anderson sees someone who 's in pain or unwell , she just feels compelled to help . and right now , sage is in trouble . and i 'm sympathetic . i really am . but i have to protect my baby . [ cell phone chimes ] mariah : [ chuckles ] dork . sharon : excuse me ? mariah : oh . no , it -- it 's , uh -- kevin put an alert on my phone . it 's kind of like my own personal police scanner , 'cause he 's a dork . sharon : well , is everything okay ? mariah : no . i think something 's going down at newman towers . it might be about adam and natalie . sharon : or dylan . okay , i 'm gon na ask bonnie to watch the kids . and i am going to find my husband . dylan : what 's the maximum sentence here for , uh , our friend 's charges ? we 've got kidnapping , assault ... paul : uh , well , it 's not just assault , you know ? it 's , uh , assault of a police officer . so i guess , uh , you know ... 30 years , minimum ? dylan : 30 years . great . let 's go . okay . okay . okay ! it was a woman . paul : that 's something . she told me not to hurt him . dylan : that 's fine . but the chief asked for a face , a name , or a number . she called me on a burner phone , okay ? it 's in my motel room -- the el dorado by the airport , room 6 , by the ice machine . phyllis : all right . so , this is how it 's all gon na work . you 're gon na show yourself in public . you 're gon na show yourself to victor , the police , whoever . and you 're gon na tell everybody that you panicked and had to stay low because you were nervous that the investor was gon na be still after you . there are two things that victor loves -- family and money , and not in that order . he is gon na be grateful that adam is back . he 's gon na be grateful that you are back . he 's gon na be grateful that the princess code - master is safe and sound . and then he 's gon na give you a lot of money for research and development so you can process your -- what are you doing ? natalie : you want me to fix the program and give it to victor ? phyllis : no . i want you to give him a dummy program which -- oopsie -- does n't work . natalie : he 'll kill me . phyllis : not if you play it right . natalie : he already thinks i double - crossed him once . phyllis : that 's because you did , 'cause you sold the program to me , which i still intend to collect on , thank you . natalie : so you just show up with miraculous new internet security software ? he will know i gave it to you . phyllis : we 'll tell him my own team developed it . natalie : victor will know it 's a lie . he 'll know . he 'll come after me . phyllis : okay . i am trying to help you with all of your partners so you can make a name for yourself . that is what you want . you do n't want to be an anonymous code cranker . you want to light the world on fire is what you want to do , and this is your chance to do it . natalie : you want a war with victor newman . is it just because he snaked your deal ? what else do you have against the guy ? adam : wait a second . i was only grabbed so that the kidnapper could get who they really wanted -- some über - geek who wrote some code ? jack : billion - dollar software that could change the internet and how we use it . adam : and you responded . you made the trade ... that could 've cut you out of the deal . could 've lost your investment . victor : i was n't about to lose a member of my family . chelsea : victor went to the police , though , and it was all very carefully thought out under paul 's supervision . jack : y - you 're safe , and we 're grateful to the gcpd . but the fact remains , it was kevin and mariah who were first involved in this deal . and kevin intended to be in business with billy . victor : i bought that woman 's idea . it is now part of newman enterprises . the most important thing is , then , adam is back and safe . jack : yes . adam 's safe . lucky adam . same as it ever was . be safe ... if you can . chelsea : okay . we 're done here . come on . come on . nikki : you know , chelsea 's right . you should go home . adam : one thing is bothering me , though . why me ? the kidnapper , they 're trying to dangle a carrot over your head , so why me ? why not kidnap nick o - or abby or victoria ? with one of them , you 're bound to play ball , right ? with me , one would assume it 's quite the opposite . victor : has it occurred to you that whoever 's behind this realized that you and my relationship has changed ... and that whoever it is , if it is a woman , is not necessarily in europe ? she could be right here . jack : they 're still atoria : what ? a dream dress , and a billy : i 'm not gon na take off again . it 's doctor 's orders . i would never do such a thing like that . so go . go catch the rest of the fashion show . come on . so far , you 've been married in a bikini , a dream dress , and a bridesmaid 's gown . it might be nice to find a proper wedding dress . [ door opens ] jack : well , you 'll have to contact chelsea directly about the clothing . the show ended sooner than expected . billy : did something happen ? jack : it appears adam had been kidnapped . victoria : what ? billy : what ? victoria : is he okay ? jack : yeah , he 's safe and sound . but it was one of victor 's business rivals that abducted him . chelsea is quite rattled . victoria : obviously . she would be . um , do you mind if i -- billy : no , no , no . go . go . go be with your family . victoria : where are they ? jack : they 're still at newman tower . victoria : okay . um , i love you . i 'll be right back . billy : i 'll probably be here . just kidding . i love you , too . so ? who did it ? jack : well , the critical part of the story is this . i think you may have dodged a bullet , being cut out of kevin 's software deal . billy : it 's a good thing that i 'm not a billionaire ? tell me more about this business rival . seems like my kind of guy . paul : right -- the el dorado . yeah , i need that phone . and have forensics work over the room . dylan : what do you make of that -- the boss lady not wanting to hurt adam ? adam : maybe it 's because i 'm so beloved . paul : or you 're not worth much dead . dylan : or maybe she had some other reasons to protect you . victor : find out any more about the identity of the kidnapper ? dylan : well , the only information we have is , uh , the person calling the shots was a female . is there anything that you could maybe help us with to i.d . her ? chelsea : there 's no way you 're still grilling my husband . nikki : is this really necessary ? these two have been through enough for one evening . paul : no . that 's -- that 's fine . uh , you can go home . get some rest . we 'll talk tomorrow . adam : i 'd really like to find this woman , so if there 's anything i can do to help , you just let me know . dad ? thank you . victor : i assume you put out an apb bulletin ? paul : yeah , on the girl . it 's all taken care of . nikki : oh , honey , your face . dylan : i know , i know . do n't say it . it 's -- it 's fine . nikki : oh , i 'm not happy about that . i know sharon wo n't be , either . sharon : we heard they called in police at newman tower . is dylan still there ? kevin : dylan is in one piece . adam is safe , and the good guys did their thing . sharon : well , why is n't he answering my texts ? mariah : dylan . adam . where 's your friend , the walking laptop ? kevin : the answer to that is i have no idea . i put a tracker on her , and , um ... mariah : did it break ? kevin : she took it off . mariah : she took it off . she took it off . she took it -- kevin : she took it off . we just covered that . mariah : she 's making a break from victor . kevin : it would appear that way , or ... mariah : or what ? kevin : or she 's been kidnapped for real . nick : sage -- sage : i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . dr. anderson : sage , you must be experiencing tremendous anger and confusion for you to -- sage : do n't talk to me like you 're my shrink . dr. anderson , you did this to us . you want us to fight so he cries on your shoulder . baby , i 'm so sorry . she 's doing this to us . this is n't us . dr. anderson : sage , your agitation is spiraling . do you see now that you ca n't fix this ? sage : oh , but you can ? well , then , fix me , doctor . nick : sage , she thinks you should go in for an observation . sage : go where ? fairview ? i 'm sorry . do you want to have me committed ? dr. anderson : oh ! nick : sage . nick : sage , you have to stop . please calm down . sage : why are you looking at me like that ? she 's making me think that i 'm crazy . nick : you need help . sage : why are you on her side , nick ? dr. anderson : sage , we 're all on your side . we just want you to be healthy and well . sage : do n't pretend that you care about me . dr. anderson : nick , i 'm not gon na watch her do this to herself or to you . the police have been called . put her on a 72-hour hold and get her the help she needs , or i will press charges , nick . if you wo n't help her , then i will . sage : no . no , no , no , no , no . this is n't happening . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : oh , my god . paul : what do we got ? dylan : mm . sharon : i do n't know if i 'm cut out for this -- to be a detective 's wife . dylan : you 're doing great . sharon : dylan ... dylan : it 's nothing . i just , uh , ran into a fist with my face . paul : okay , you two in my office . all right . what do we have on natalie ? anything on the surveillance footage ? kevin : nothing . what about the kidnapper ? paul : he 's in holding . he claims it was for hire . some woman gave him instructions over the phone . we have the burner phone . uniforms got it . and forensics is testing for prints in his , uh , motel room . kevin : okay . well , good luck getting prints there . so there 's a woman out there who kidnapped adam and may have natalie now . or she 's too scared to come out . or -- mariah : or she 's in a hut in fiji , spending everybody 's money . paul : okay . this natalie , she agreed to sell you the -- the software and then agreed to sell it to another investor and then to victor ? did she collect the funds each time ? kevin : i do n't know . mariah : maybe the program was never even supposed to work . maybe it 's just a ruse to get people to fork over their money . kevin : not true . mariah : very true . she played us once , and now she 's playing us again . she ran because she knows that she has nothing to deliver . kevin : the program can work . i know it , and whoever kidnapped adam knows it , too . phyllis : know billy abbott ? natalie : kevin 's first investor , the guy in the hospital . phyllis : he 's also my brother - in - law . he 's a dear friend . that 's key . do n't forget that detail . this deal was very important to him . it 's practically the first thing he talked about when he woke up in the hospital . but it was too late . kevin already brought it to victor . natalie : but you tried to cut him out , too , when you came to me for the program yourself . phyllis : that was on billy 's behalf . you did not need to know that before . now you do . this deal is incredibly important to me . it 's incredibly important to billy . i expect you to follow through with our agreement . natalie : you want me to work for you . phyllis : with me . natalie : [ chuckles ] on the sly , but play it like i 'm victor newman 's newest employee . phyllis : you got it . natalie : [ sighs ] take back your money . i wo n't tell big boss newman about you or adam or whatever , but i 'm not about to poke that bear . phyllis : let me ask you something . how 's it working with victor ? is it understanding ? is it supportive ? is it nice ? natalie : all of that . for sure . phyllis : he 's using you as a pawn . he uses everyone as a pawn . he 's not gon na hesitate to humiliate you and ruin your life . and is he gon na feel bad about it ? absolutely not . do you doubt that ? natalie : i 've experienced some of that already . phyllis : yeah , you want to work for a guy like that ? how about owning your own ideas , making your own decisions ? you can have everything you have ever wanted without selling your soul . billy and i can do that for you . so when you take your internet idea to the world , you want to do that with me , or do you want to do that with victor ? nick : look , this is just a misunderstanding . if i could explain -- sage : you are so transparent . how long have you been after my husband , huh -- since our child died ? dr. anderson : get help or go to jail . if you wo n't do it for yourself , then do it for nick . sage : go to fairview and have people like you treat me ? [ scoffs ] come on . let 's do this . arrest me already . jack : so , this person , natalie , who originated the idea , sold a version of this software with bugs in it . the buyer had adam kidnapped and pressured victor to pony up the girl in exchange for adam 's freedom . billy : where 's natalie now ? jack : she 's gone , on the run . maybe left town by now . billy : probably a good move , with victor after her . jack : we do n't really know that this thing is feasible , do we ? i mean , all we have at this point is kevin 's word . billy : yeah , well , kevin likes a get - rich scheme , but ... his whole ego is tied up in his hacker cred . if he saw value in an idea that was n't his , it 's legit . plus , victor would never buy in to something that he was n't expecting a big payday from . jack : victor newman would happily burn $ 2 million to rub our faces in the ashes . billy : what about phyllis , jack ? jack : what about phyllis ? billy : when she was here , she told me not to lose hope . she does n't blow smoke . jack : not to lose hope -- she said that ? billy : yeah . she seemed pretty confident that i was n't out of the game yet . victoria : this entire fashion show was a cover story for a kidnapping exchange ? nikki : it 's amazing what goes on around here that nobody tells us about . victor : well , the fewer the people who knew , the better , you know ? made it safer . nikki : what if this kidnapper had been armed ? what if he was violent ? i mean , that 's the last thing we need is another potentially fatal event . victor : everything is fine , right ? victoria : well , you know , i was just hoping to see some nice dresses and support the brand . victor : well , i 'm happy you were able to tear yourself away from the hospital . victoria : oh , dad , please do n't make me feel guilty about taking care of a man who almost died . victor : well , he did n't die , now , did he ? victoria : no . billy was lucky . and i feel very blessed . and as upset as he is about losing out on this deal , i 'm just glad that he did n't get in any deeper with this ... nikki : uh , natalie , apparently , is her name . and i hope she is far away and has taken her drama with her . victor : for your information , my investment is n't worth a dime . she has all my money . nikki : oh , you mean the same money that you did n't mind losing to save adam ? adam : you know , when i was locked up in that room and i could n't get out , i could n't stop worrying about you and connor . it was just this horrible , familiar feeling . it felt like i was , uh , back at constance 's place again , you know ? it was n't good . chelsea : you 're home now . you 're safe . you 're back with me . adam : yeah . and there were at least a million things that went through my head when i was in that room . i was thinking , you know , after everything i went through to get back to you -- i got my life back . i got my freedom . i 've got connor . i got you . i got ... i got everything , and i - i 'm looking around that room , and i 'm thinking , `` my god . is this really how it ends for me ? `` chelsea : no . no . listen to me . that is not how it ends for us , not after everything . mnh - mnh . we are going to grow old together , and we are going to have a million inside jokes ... adam : [ chuckles ] chelsea : ... and code words and memories . we are going to have gray hair and knee replacements and so much love that even the young kids are jealous of us . adam : i 'd like that . you 're it , you know that ? you 're what gets me through the tough times . you 're ... it 's always been you . it 's always gon na be you . chelsea : [ sighs ] swear we 'll always be together . always . adam : i promise you that . chelsea : say that again . adam : i promise you we will always be together . okay ? mariah : i mean , she did n't , did she ? there 's no way that she would actually come back here . kevin : she would n't leave her laptop behind . this is how we know if she 's been taken . [ sighs ] natalie : took you long enough . kevin : uh , yeah . are you okay ? how long have you been here ? mariah : thank you , by the way , for letting us know that you were fine . some people were worried about you . natalie : like you ? mariah : no , actually . but he seems to care about you for some reason , even though you cut him out of the deal . natalie : we 're still partners , okay ? even though i 'm working with victor , you 're not out . no matter what he thinks or what that one says , our deal stands . everyone 's cut will be smaller , but everyone still gets a cut . mariah : like he has any reason to trust you . natalie : but he does trust me . do n't you , kevin ? kevin : we have nothing to lose . mariah : because she handed it to victor . that 's why we have nothing . natalie : but he is n't gon na know . that 's the only way it 'll work . so leave me alone and forget we 're partners . let me fix the program and light the world on fire . i 'm not gon na let victor newman jerk me around and take what he wants . i 'm in control of my idea . this is ours . kevin : [ inhales deeply ] okay , then . we 're in . keep us posted . mariah : unbelievable . natalie : thank you for worrying , but i 'm not going anywhere . mariah : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe that you 're actually going along with this . she is double , triple , quadruple playing us and probably making an enemy out of victor newman in the process . kevin : okay , you can string together as many words as you want to . it does n't change the fact that we have nothing to lose . this is worth a shot , and i 'm taking it . phyllis : [ whistles ] that was cold , stringing kevin along like that . should 've cut him loose . natalie : i meant it . he 's a partner . phyllis : i did n't agree to that . natalie : well , it 's still my idea ... my brain . unless you can fix the bugs , i still have a say in all this . you said you wanted to do this for billy . fine . i want to do it for kevin . phyllis : well , okay , then . we 're doing this ? natalie : yes . we are . phyllis : shake my hand a little firmer . that a girl . paul : sage . so , it looks like you have a pretty good left hook , here . sage : [ sighs ] paul : why do n't you , um , tell me what happened at the club . sage : well , there 's nothing to say , paul . but i 'll tell you what . i 'd rather sit in a cell for the rest of my life than let that witch stick me in fairview . paul : what -- you 're talking about dr. anderson ? sage : the very one . dylan : what 's going on ? sage : why do n't you ask your wife ? she 's dr. anderson 's number - one fan . paul : okay . uh , listen . why do n't you guys take off ? sage , why do n't you join me in my office ? dylan : what 's going on with sage ? nick : sage is unraveling . i should 've seen it , but i did n't . sharon : nick , i 'm sorry . sage was at the house earlier today , and -- nick : yeah , i know . you did n't let her see sully . i know . sharon : dr. anderson saw this coming . i 'm the last person to blame her for what she 's going through , but dr. anderson was right . you need to get sage help . nick : yeah , well , she may not have a choice now . dylan : what are the charges ? nick : assault . she went after dr. anderson . dylan , i need your help . dylan : okay , you -- you got to talk dr. anderson down , see if she 'll just back off . nick : i already did . she wo n't . look . sage ca n't stay here . they wo n't even let me talk to her . this is my wife , dylan , and that makes her your family , too . and family trumps any law . dylan : well , you know who you sound like . nick : well , in this case , my dad would be right . please help me get her out of here . paul : dr. anderson wo n't back down about bringing charges . so after the arraignment tomorrow , sage will be released . i - i do n't know what to say . i feel for both of you . dr. anderson : nick ... how are you doing ? nick : i just did n't want to see it . it was there the whole time , was n't it ? sage just finally could n't keep it in . dr. anderson : you will get her through this . we both will . your support , my treatment -- we can make her well again ... if we work together as a team . chelsea : see ? if we never left this room , nothing bad could ever happen . adam : well , i mean , we could starve ... chelsea : [ laughs ] adam : ... for one . plus , connor would have to learn how to feed himself , how to drive ... chelsea : oh , right . adam : ... have to get a job . chelsea : thank you for being the voice of reason . adam : i want to find out who this woman is , this person who kidnapped me . chelsea : no . no , no , no . no , i do n't want to talk about her . adam : no ? chelsea : or anything else . you 're home . that 's all that matters . i love you . and nothing outside this room or this home matters . adam : you 're perfect . you 're perfect . victor : adam is safe , and we can talk about the rest in the morning , okay ? nikki : now i see . your father wants his son , his deal , and the programmer back under his control . victor : can you blame me , for heaven 's sake ? my son was kidnapped . i was crossed as a businessman and a father . victoria : and so did the programmer , dad . any deal that causes this much trouble is not a good deal . natalie : the boss and i know better . do n't we , partner ? nikki : oh , little girl , do you have a lot of explaining to do . victor : uh , victoria , my darling , would you kindly escort your mother home ? nikki : are you kidding me ? and leave you here with her ? not until she 's explained where she 's been and what she 's been up to . what kind of lunatics do you deal with , anyway ? victor : i 'll be home in a little while . nikki : oh , yes , i know . i 've read that book before . you know what ? you were almost a part of our family there for a minute . thank god you realized your priorities . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'll talk to her , dad . victor : i would really appreciate that , okay ? nikki : [ sighs ] billy : you know what ? it 's good to see you , and i do n't mean to kick you out -- jack : but you need some rest . billy : please . i plan on having sweet , sweet dreams about finally crushing victor . jack : hey , listen to me . let it go . billy : jack , phyllis is the smartest person in the room . if she says we got a chance to take out victor , i think we got to take it . jack : could you just focus on getting better ? billy : i 'm trying . if you 'd stop talking ... jack : no , no , i 'm gone . i 'm gone . sweet dreams . [ door opens ] billy : oh , come on , man . take a hint . phyllis : i 'm stubborn that way . jack did n't see me . he would n't approve . billy : and why is that ? what are you up to , phyllis ? phyllis : i am assuming that you have heard about this mysterious hacker with the billion - dollar idea . she works for me . correction -- she works for us . we are back in the game , billy . and this time , we are going to win . [ next_on ] nick : what the hell were you thinking last night ? stitch : this is my son . i need to be kept in the loop when it comes to him . understand ? ashley : if your treatment does n't work , will you please end my life before my family has to ?

's men 's line . neil : what ? you -- that 's fantastic ! lily : [ laughs ] neil : oh , my god ! lily : i know , i can hardly believe it ! i 'll be doing appearances all over the country , even the world . i 'm doing print , commercials ... neil : congratulations . when did this happen ? lily : today . neil : why did n't you mention it ? lily : well , no , it was random . i guess the model that they were gon na use , she got stuck at the airport in new york , and so they called me in and i did such a great job that they offered me a contract . neil : i am so proud of you . lily : thank you . although , there is just one little problem . cane : if you and i are gon na have any chance of being civil with each other , it 's not gon na happen if you keep pulling that crap you did today , do you understand me ? billy : what 'd i do ? cane : you know what you did . you went behind my back and you gave my wife a job . do n't do that . billy : not sure why that 's such a bad thing , cane . you said you did n't have a problem with it . cane : what was i supposed to say , billy ? huh ? you saw how excited she was . and you and jill and victoria , you made it like it was a done deal , so if i try to rein it in , i would look like one of those guys -- billy : like a guy who does n't want his wife to succeed ? cane : i 'm not like that and you know that , so do n't do that . you blindsided me and you did deliberately . victoria : all these toys . [ sighs ] oh , thanks , mom . nikki : you 're welcome . victoria : come on . let 's , uh , talk . what are you gon na be doing for this charity ? nikki : um , i want to talk about that in a minute . first , we 're going to deal with this nonsense of you thinking you 're a cold person . victoria : well , that 's what reed said , after he accused me of being mean . and an ice queen . nikki : what 'd you do to him ? victoria : why does everybody immediately assume that i 'm the one at fault ? nikki : what do you mean ? who 's everybody ? victoria : do you know what i did to him , mom ? i did what my son asked me to do . i left him in charge of his brother and sister , and when i got him , do you know what he was doing ? nikki : something involving a girl . victoria : he was making out with -- how did you know that ? nikki : i 've raised teenagers , dear . 10 years ... ... that took 30 off my life . victoria : it 's reasonable for me to think that reed would realize that there 's a time and a place for that kind of thing , and it 's not when he 's got his little brother and sister upstairs . nikki : well , what time or place would you prefer ? victoria : i do n't know , mom . in the privacy of his own home . with his wife . after he 's gotten his doctorate . nikki : oh , i see . so he should be at least 30 . victoria : is that really too much for me to ask ? oh , i see . you think that i 'm overreacting . i get it . nikki : darling . victoria : mm - hmm ? nikki : i think you 're hurt . and i suspect there 's something more behind it than reed calling you cold . victoria : i do n't think that 's the part that really got to me . [ sighs ] it 's billy . we got in a fight . he overheard the whole thing . nikki : and he took billy 's side instead of yours . victoria : mom , i know it 's silly , i do . and it was n't what reed said that bothered me . i 've been called worse things . but he 's just made billy out to be this saint , and -- i feel like i 'm the bad guy . chief , forensics is ready to wrap things up . paul : well , they ca n't do that . but we have n't found anything else . well , tell them to keep looking . i mean , not just around the warehouse . tell them to check the entire area . knock on doors , check the street cameras . and if forensics still ca n't find anything , then broaden the search !

[ sighs ] god , billy can do no wrong in his eyes , and i ca n't seem to do anything right . nikki : perhaps that 's because you have n't given your son the unadulterated history of your ex . victoria : well , as much as i 'd like to , i do n't want to disappoint reed . i do n't want to tell him the truth about billy 's gambling and his affairs . nikki : it 's because you 're a kind , warm , compassionate person . victoria : [ chuckles ] says my mother ... nikki : ... who 's always right . victoria : reed needs a man in his life that he can count on . if billy 's it , then so be it . nikki : and you really trust billy to not do or say something to ruin that friendship ? [ electric guitar wails ] victoria : [ groans ] reed ! reed , would you please turn that thing down ? dylan : no one knows i 'm here . and the people i was dealing with ... they can never find out . sharon : christine said that you found the necessary evidence to make an arrest . dylan : that 's right . i did . sharon : okay , so what 's the problem ? if the bad guys are in jail ... dylan : they found out i was working undercover . sharon : how did that happen ? dylan : [ sighs ] i mean , things were going according to plan , and ... and i did get the information to christine , but then ... it just all went south . dylan : hey . what 's going on ?

billy : how the hell do you figure that , cane ? cane : well , you 're the one who hired lily to be the brand ambassador for the men 's line in the first place . billy : you know what , let me ask you a question -- are you more upset that you were n't in on the hiring or that we hired your wife ? cane : stay out of my relationship with lily , billy . billy : cane , you 're the one that brought it up . cane : stay out of my relationship with my wife and do n't talk to me like i 'm some sort of subordinate and you 're the one that runs the company , do you understand me ? billy : i 'm the one that runs the company ? man , that 's your lane . you take every chance you get , like the `` gc buzz `` interview . cane : oh , the one you walked out of because you wanted to behave like a baby ? you 're talking about that interview ? billy : you 're still upset 'cause you thought you were gon na be on the top all by yourself ... cane : i 'm not , but obviously you are . you are , are n't you ? billy : because i 'm the one that knows talent around here . cane : i would never have gone behind your back and manipulated you the way you manipulated me . billy : are you kidding me ? cane : no , i 'm not kidding you . victoria : gosh , mom , i wish you could just wave your magic wand and make reed 8 again . nikki : darling , you stopped believing in my magic wand when you were 2 . but i do have some advice for you , if you want to hear it . victoria : yes , please . nikki : reed has n't lived here very long , okay ? this is all very new to him , and he 's trying to find his place in the family . he 's testing you , victoria . that 's what teenagers do . so just give him a little time . give yourself some time . in fact , why do n't you give yourself a break ? victoria : i 'll try , but it 's hard to put up with this . i mean , i never had these issues when i was his age . nikki : [ laughs ] oh ! nikki : [ sighs , chuckles ] victoria : why do you think that 's so funny , mom ? nikki : [ sighs ] well , my darling , apparently you have a short memory . victoria : i was never a bad kid . nikki : uh , well , then why did i always get phone calls from the headmaster of your boarding school ? victoria : because i was totally misunderstood , that 's why . nikki : victoria . you rallied your friends and orchestrated a raid on the boys ' boarding school . victoria : oh , mom . that ? come on . that was just a bunch of girls trying to have some harmless fun . nikki : and then you deliberately started failing your classes , hoping to be expelled so that you could come home and undermine your father 's marriage to ashley . victoria : which was completely out of my love and loyalty for you , mom . nikki : uh - huh , and apparently you have forgotten how young you were when you became sexually active . victoria : oh , gosh ! okay , please , mom . shh . i have n't forgotten any of that . i was a terrible teenager who tested my parents ' limits . i know that , just -- nikki : and beyond . victoria : that 's what scares me about reed . [ sighs ] what if he is as bad as i was ? what if he 's worse ? nikki : oh , honey . look how you turned out . so accomplished and responsible . i could n't ask for a better daughter , and those kids up there could not have a better mother . victoria : i had the best mom . i got lucky . nikki : and reed has you . you , who made all the mistakes and accomplished so much in spite of them . now , look -- reed is gon na have growing pains , it 's inevitable . victoria : i just do n't want him to make a mistake that 's gon na ruin his life , that 's all . nikki : well , you will keep an eye on him , and you and i will both pray so that that does n't happen . but you 've got to give him time and space to negotiate that period between boy and man . and while you 're at it , why do n't you just give him a break ? victoria : [ sighs ] okay . i will try to be more understanding . nikki : good . victoria : tomorrow . tonight , i have to get back to the office . nikki : oh , well , why did n't you tell me that ? i would n't have kept you . victoria : no , mom . i 'm so glad you did . i really needed this chat . it was really -- it was what i needed . nikki : is hannah gon na watch the kids ? victoria : uh , no . hannah -- that 's why i 'm here . hannah had a family emergency , and i should have never trusted reed to watch the kids . i should have trusted my instincts , is what i should have done . nikki : okay , wait . so hannah is not available ? victoria : no , she 's not . and i do n't know where i 'm gon na find a sitter this late notice . nikki : victoria . victoria : yeah . nikki : i 'm -- i 'm right here . see me ? victoria : oh . oh , mom , you do n't mind ? nikki : well , of course not ! you know , i can do my charity planning here as well as at the ranch . victoria : oh , thank you . you 're a lifesaver . thank you . um ... nikki : you 're welcome . victoria : you know , it 's gon na be fine . the kids probably wo n't wake up unless their brother starts playing the guitar again . as far as reed goes , you know , he 's ... nikki : we 're gon na be fine , victoria . victoria : okay . great . nikki : i promise . all right . i love you . victoria : thanks , mom . i love you back . i 'll be right back . nikki : okay .

we have n't been there in so long . and that 's the best part about this job , too . we can work together and travel together . and then for summer vacation ... cane : all right . slow down . slow down . you just signed the contract . we have n't figured out the work yet , okay ? lily : well , you guys should probably do it soon since the campaign launches on valentine 's day . cane : can we leave business off the table tonight ? lily : um , yeah . i guess -- i just was really excited . cane : no , i 'm excited , too . i just want to -- i just want to spend time with you , drink some wine , relax . just forget about business . lily : you know , you kind of put me off earlier when i was trying to talk to you about how this job might affect us . cane : you 're not gon na drop this , are you ? lily : cane , we have to talk about it . it might as well be tonight . cane : well , what is there to say ? you took the job . you signed the contract . i mean , you 're happy , right ? lily : yeah , but are you happy about it ? cane : i already told you i was happy . lily : you said that you were reluctant to share me , and then you and billy are arguing ... lily : yeah , but this time , it was about me , was n't it ? cane , look , if you have doubts , i want to hear them . cane : i 'm surprised that you do n't have any doubts about this . you know , you 've gone from being the manager of this place ... in a couple of hours , you 're now a supermodel , and i just -- i do n't understand why you would n't have any concerns . lily : sure , i guess i should have felt strange or uncomfortable at the photo shoot , but once i got into it , it was really nice to not be treated like mattie and charlie 's mom or your wife or manager of this club . and not that i do n't love those roles , because i do , but it was nice to be treated like lily and not an appendage to anyone else . it felt really good . and i do n't want that feeling to go away . nikki : [ sighs ] reed : did mom tell you where she was going ? nikki : back to work . reed : so you 're , what , like my babysitter ? nikki : no , i 'm your grandmother who has missed you very much and wants to spend time with you . keep me company . reed : i assume she told you a bunch about me being a pain , huh ? nikki : yeah . she did . reed : then i guess you hate me , too . nikki : reed , no one hates you . you are so loved . but right now , your mother is worried about you . reed : okay , well , she needs to stop . she needs to quit obsessing over every breath that i take , like i 'm some little kid . because i 'm not . nikki : let me tell you something . even though your mom and your uncles are adults , i find myself treating them like children today . reed : and they let you ? nikki : well , sometimes . but that 's because they 're raising their own families and they 've fallen into that same trap . but there is a way that you can show your mother that you 're maturing . reed : how ? nikki : ease up on her . reed : on her ? but i never do anything to her ! nikki : you do n't go out of your way to push her buttons ? let 's stop that for now . let her know that you appreciate the fact that she is juggling three kids and a job . and then you can suck up by making things easier around here , not more difficult .

'cause busting boxes is n't exactly , you know , my specialty . victor : in due me , i 'll make my presence known . meanwhile , i want you to call the cops . hopefully , they 'll get here in time to make the arrests . any questions ? larry : dude , you have n't said anything . you got a problem ? diego : yeah , it 's not gon na happen . not that way . victor : what do you mean it 's not gon na happen ? larry : dude , it 's too late to be switching plans , man . wee been over this a dozen times . diego : yeah , but the more i hear it , the less i like it . larry : and why 's that ? diego : i feel like a fifth wheel . victor : you listen to me , and listen carefully . you do it my way . you 're already more involved than i prefer . diego : you think i 'll screw it up . victor : you have already screwed up ! diego : look , mr . newman -- victor : you put my family in harm 's way , son . now you 're asking me to fix it ! diego : i have a beef with these guys , mr . newman . i 'm not gon na screw it up . do n't worry . victor : we do it my way , you got that ? let me show you the safe . phyllis : now do you see why we should celebrate ? jack : is this what i think it is ? phyllis : our smoking gun . jack : that 's your cell number ? phyllis : that 's right . with specific instructions what to do . jack : `` phyllis , the server is down . we ca n't figure out what the problem is . you 'd better come to the office . `` phyllis : right , which is exactly what i did , as you recall . i left the wedding . jack : only the server was n't down . phyllis : no . no , i figured it was a hoax , and so i went back to my car . that 's when i saw the lipstick on my dress , and i went back home to change . jack : which puts you back in the house when the fire was started . phyllis : uh - huh , read on . it gets better . jack : `` whatever she suggests , say you tried that and it did n't work , and call the following number when you 've made the call . `` phyllis : that 's diane 's cell phone number , by the way . look at the date . jack : date of the newman wedding . phyllis : right . that 's diane 's handwriting . jack : it sure is . this is unbelievable . where 'd you find this ? phyllis : i got it from the guy who made the call . he identified diane from a picture that i had . he said that she had him rehearse it over and over again , and she left him the note just in case . jack : how did you get him to confess all that ? phyllis : bought him a shot of whiskey . jack : wait , you went back to that bar alone after you promised me you would n't ? phyllis : i promised you i would n't go back with paul . listen , it does n't matter how i got it . the fact is , we have this . jack , this is the answer to our prayers . john : thank you . gina : okay , great . bye - bye . oh , it 's you . diane : wow , gee , what a lovely greeting . maybe we should go someplace else . gina : what can i do for you , diane ? well , obviously , we 're here to eat . unless that 's too much trouble . gina : a table or booth ? diane : you know , gina does n't sound very happy to see me . gina : do n't be ridiculous . i 'm always happy to see kyle . diane : okay , enen kyle and i would like a booth . on second thought , we 'll join john . gina : wait a minute , diane . just let the man eat in peace , okay ? diane : excuse me , gina , but there 's something i need to tell him . gina : diane , please . diane : i hope it 's not too much trouble if we join you for a minute . john : you 're about the last person i would want to talk to right now . diane : okay , be that way . i just thought you 'd like to say good - bye to your grandson . john : what do you mean `` good - bye `` ? diane : kyle and i are leaving town in a few days . we 're going to spend the rest of the winter in florida . jack : you do know what this means , do n't you ? p phyllis : of course , it 's proof that diane framed me . jack : why would this suddenly surface now ? why has n't anyone found this before now ? phyllis : i do n't know , call it a stroke of luck . this guy was n't even supposed to be in town . diane paid him to leave . jack : only he came back . phyllis : right . i was in the right place at the right time . i do n't know , call it destiny . everything that i 've gone through at the hands of that freak ! and now , you know what ? this is what we need ... to put her away for a long , long time . jack : wh -- wh -- wh -- what are you doing ? phyllis : i 'm paying a little visit to the d.a . we 're going to the d.a . 's office . come on , get your coat . jack : phyllis , phyllis . phyllis : what are you doing ? why are you just standing there ? jack : i think we need to discuss this . phyllis : what do we need to discuss ? jack : what the implications are if we turn her in . phyllis : if ? excuse me , if ? if ? she 'll be arrested , just like i was . do you remember that ? jack : we would not only be punishing diane . we 'd also be punishing kyle . phyllis : diane does n't deserve another day with kyle . she 's insane . she 's a criminal . are you kidding me ? jack : we both know that diane and kyle are totally bonded . he 's been -- she 's been in his life every day of his life . he will always want some kind of relationship with his mother . think of the trauma if he has to visit her behind bars , knowing that his stepmother and his father help p put her there . phyllis : i have n't -- what are you saying to me , that he 'll sympathize with diane ? jack : or he could just hate us . phyllis : jack . jack : honey , at the very least , he will constantly be torn between his mother and us . phyllis : what do you want to do ? i 'm afraid to ask . jack : i want to do what 's best for kyle . we do anything less , we 're just as bad as diane . isabella : michael , if lynne is behind this and she goes to paul , do you realize what that could mean ? michael : trouble , probably . isabella : how can you be so calm ? my marriage , my family -- everything is in jeopardy . michael : all right , isabella , please just keep it -- keep it together . we do n't know this woman was a private detective . or even if she is , that lynne had anything to do with hiring her . isabella : okay , who else ? what 's another explanation ? michael : well , it could be typical government inefficiency or another james franklin up for parole . isabella : who you trying to convince -- me or yourself ? this is not a bureaucratic screw - up , michael . michael : i guess there 's too much at stake here to rely on assumptions . isabella : yeah , we have to find out the truth . michael : you go to lynne . if she had anything to do with this , you 'll be able to see right away . isabella : i go to lynne . you 're suggesting i talk to lynne ? michael : i certainly ca n't do it . the woman has no idea we had any connection before you hired paul for protection . isabella : how am i supposed toto talk to lynne without raising her suspicions ? michael : just play it straight . tell her about this visit from kelly simmons , that you 're very curious . isabella : okay , i could tell her i lied to the woman , and that the truth is i am nervous about james getting out . michael : oh , good lord , no , please , just do n't gild the lily . try and determine if lynne had anything to do with this . that 's all . go on . do it . we ca n't let this thing get away from us . andy : i am not thinking of starting anything with diane . you know how it is . paul : no , i do n't know how it is . andy : when you go back a long way with somebody , you just ... you care about what happens to them . paul : andy , as i recall , the breakup was pretty ugly . andy : yeah , yeah , it was n't the best . i mean , she pretty much -- she pretty much dumped me for jack . paul : right , which hurts . andy : yeah , it hurt . jack lost interest and she wanted to kiss and make up . paul : it 's too late then . andy : i was n't interested . i 'd met farren , and i did n't exactly trust diane anymore . paul : so why now ? andy : i did n't say i trust diane now , okay ? look , if you 're all worried i 'm gon na get involved with diane , do n't , okay ? like i said , diane 's confused . she goes after things , on some level , she does n't think she deserves . so she does n't play fair . paul : so you think that she did n't playaiair with jack this time ? andy : i do n't know . but it 's pretty mind - boggling to think that shs still hung up on a guy after how many years ? do i sense a little fixation going on there ? paul : you know what i think ? i think you need a new woman in your life . you 're a young stud . why go back after trouble ? andy : what do i have to do to convince you i 'm not going after diane . paul : i do n't know . see other people , you know ? we 're in a coffeehouse . tatalk to somebody . andy : they 're a little young in here . paul : well , not everybody . i 'm sure we can find someone who would be age- appropriate . what about this lady right here ? andy : uh , yeah , yeah , she 's really my type . paul : you could do worse . take a look at her . andy : williams , give it a rest , okay ? paul : she 's all alone , reading the newspaper . come on . andy : fine , let her come over here and ask me . okay , it 's modern times . paul : let 's just go over . andy : what ? paul : talk to her . all we do is talk to her . andy : not her . not her . paul : why not ? it does n't have to be a permanent thing . look at it as a scrimmage , not a league game , you know ? you need to practice . get your motor running again . andy : it 's like riding a bike , okay ? i do n't need any practice . i can do this . paul : well , then do it . prove me wrong . let 's go . come on . andy : okay , okay . christine : something i can do for you fellas ? larry : you got your gun nearby , i hope . victor : there 's no need for guns . larry : are you kidding me ? both of these goons are gon na be packing heat for sure . diego : larry 's right . you ought to be armed . victor : i said no . larry : whatever you say . but if they start to panic , i 'm not -- victor : i will keke care of things . do n't you worry . both of you get out there and wait for these goons . they 're due any minute . let 's go . diego : go ahead , larry . i 'll be right out . victor : i meant you go out there as well , diego . diego : look , mr . newman , i 'll go along with your plan , but i just want you to know i 'll cover your back if you need me . victor : now you listen to me very carefully . from now on , you follow my instructions . do n't play hero , because you 'll get hurt . you got that ? diego : how come you ca n't understand the way i feel ? okay , i was wrong to set this up without consulting you . but , damn it , i was attacked . i was left for dead . victor : this is not the time to discuss this . larry : hey , head 's up . i just got a call on my cell . they just left the main road . victor : he 'll be right out . now listen to me . you think that i should understand why you want a payback . i understand that . you will get a chance to pay those two bastards back . i promise you that . meanwhile , ianant you to get your behind to the service gate and take care of things . you got that ? john : you 're leaving town for the entire winter ? for god 's sakes , why ? diane : kyle has n't been feeling well . we 're going to stay in miami until the weather changes and it 's safe to return . john : oh , please , now that is ridiculous . diane : in florida , he 'll be able to feel the warmth of the sun ... play outside , run around in the sand . the last few months he 's been so cooped up inside , except for the rare occasion when i 've needed to take him out , and then he 's so bundled up he can hardly move . john : just , please , save it . now the child looks fine and you darn well know it . diane : well , he is n't fine . frankly , all this craziness and tension swirling around him has n't helped . john : now we have gone out of our way to protect him from that . diane : well , still , i think children are very perceptive . i think what kyle needs is some time alone with mommy , huh ? it 's what i need , too . john : does jack know about this ? diane : yes . john : he 's not going to allow it . diane : i 'm afraid he wo n't have a choice . there will be a hearing soon , and then kyle and i will be on our way . john : you 're not going to get away with this . diane : i 'm afraid there 's nothing you can say about it . john : gina , would you do me a favor ? gina : sure . would you just , please , take the baby a minute . i want to talk to her . gina : i 'd love to . diane : excuse me ? gina : i 'd love to . it will be a lot of fun . diane : fine . gina : you want that ? i 'll give that to you , sweetie . how about a roll , too ? good . hi , sweetheart . john : now that child is not sick , and you damn well know it . diane : we just came from seeing the pediatrician . he fully supports this trip . john : and you always have a way of finding someone who will say exactly what y w want . diane : surely , john , as a parent , you understand that i must do whatever i can to take care of my child . john : give me a break . you only care about one person -- yourself . diane : this is about what 's best for kyle . i 'm not playing games . not everything is a competition , which is something you abbotts fail to realize . john : oh , this is bull , and you know it ! this is all about you . it always has been ! diane : will you calm down ? look , i came to your table so that you could spend a little time with your grandson . then you shoo him away with gina so that you can attack me , which i think says a lot about your priorities , does n't it ? john : you have the nerve to make me the villain ? you , who burned down my pool house . you tried to frame my daughter - in - law of an attempted murder . and now you have the audacity -- the stinking audacity -- to take my grandson . gina : oh , my god . diane : john ! somebody -- gina : take your child . john , are you all right ? diane : are you okay ? ! gina : what 's wrong , are you -- look what you 've done . diane : what i 've done ? gina : get out of here . get out of here now ! get ! diane : okay . gina : john , okay , take some deep breaths . take some deep breaths . do you want me to call the doctor ? john : no , i 'll be fine . just give me a minute . gina : okay , here , have some water , honey . please , have some water . jack : honey , a little boy 's life is at stake . we have to be very careful how we handle this . phyllis : all these ntnths , all i wanted was to see diane suffer the way i 've been suffering , to see her behind bars . jack : i understand you want justice . phyllis : do n't you want justice , jack ? jack : i also know how much you love kyle . i realize i 'm asking for a major sacrifice on your part . phyllis : want to rip up the note ? is that what you want to do ? jack : no . god , no . we 've been given a gift here . i want to use this to our fullest advantage . phyllis : how ? jack : i have a plan . you 're gon na have to trust me on this . can you do that ? seth : where 's warton ? larry : right here , man . what 's the matter ? your nerves getting to you ? seth : man , just open the damn door . diego : it 's all clear . bobby : where 's the safe ?

jack : i just do n't think it would be in kyle 's best interest for his mother to be in prison until he 's an adult . phyllis : right . he does n't want your son to suffer for your sins . diane : i do n't understand . jk : k : it 's actually quite simple . you 're going to sign over full custody of kyle to me . diane : what ? jack : in return , you 'll have your freedom and liberal visitation , that is , from outside prison walls . anything less , we go to the authorities . phyllis : proving your guilt , diane . jack : we want your answer by tomorrow or we go to detective weber . oh , and by the way , any mention of this conversation , we 'll swear it never happened . last thing , this man that you hired to set up my wife is more than happy to testify . phyllis : that 's our deal , sweetie . take it or leave it . jack : let 's go , honey . diane : ( sobbing ) oh , kyle .

( sighs ) wow . i knew katherine did n't believe me . ( sighs ) you believe me , do n't you ? cane : yeah , i believe you . jill : thank you , sweetheart . cane : so that puts you in a unique position to fight this man .

jack meets adam at a motel room to tell adam that he has decided to become his business partner because he wants to recover his loses from the newman fund . jack also tells adam he also likes the idea of getting the upper hand on victor and showing him he is n't the big dog in the yard anymore . adam and jack agree that they hate each other but they hate victor more and jack wonders if adam knows the location of skye 's money . adam tells jack that skye was predictable and he found the money in an offshore account and she used one of her old passwords for the account so he was able to get the money transferred to an offshore account of his own since he was skye 's only heir . adam tells jack that the newman fund will soon get a large infusion of cash because of the blood money victor gave skye and that makes jack smile .

[ slams mug ] sharon : it was really great how you and jack handled things just now , and i know summer really appreciated it . nick : i raised her . i love her . and i know i should be grateful for all the time that i get to spend with her , but then i think about cassie , and you and i both know that there 's never enough time . and i 'm worried that i 'm not gon na get to spend enough time with her . sharon : [ sighs ] nick , there 's been so much progress between you two , and she 's not about to cut you out of her life . nick : in my heart , she 's mine . she 's my daughter , and she always will be . i chased away all the nightmares . i made up all the silly stories . i stayed at home , waiting for her to come home from her first date . i ca n't help but think that jack gets to walk her down the aisle . and when the father - daughter dance happens , i 'm gon na be on the outside , on the edge of the circle watching , just like any other guy . sharon : nick , no . nick : look , i do n't want you to feel sorry for me . that 's -- [ sighs ] i brought all this on myself . i took all those years away from jack , and i deserve it . summer is amazing , and she 's good . she 's beautiful and strong and and she 's not my kid anymore .

jack : red ? hey . you asleep ? phyllis : some . more thinking than sleeping . jack : so , what 's going through that mind of yours ? phyllis : i thought i was okay all this time . maybe i 'm wrong . if i 'm wrong about me and all the things i may have done , what does that mean for us ? stitch : what are you doing here ? the nurse said you checked yourself out of the hospital last night . i was supposed to be your ride . kelly : you had a date with victoria , remember ? so i got myself home and just slept . stitch : and now you 're back at work ? come on , kel , take a break , will you ? i mean , you ingested a toxic chemical . kelly : i know . but i survived . stitch : does n't mean you 're okay . jack : i know you . i know everything that makes you you . this is not your fault . phyllis : not my fault as in i did n't do it ? jack : not you . whatever drugs cutler gave you , whatever they did to your brain chemistry or to your body ... honey , this is a relief . phyllis : yeah , what a relief that my brain is scrambled . jack : no , relief to know why this has happened so that we can fix it , so we can undo it , so we can help you . phyllis : how ? jack : i 've enlisted somebody to help us out here . phyllis : what kind of help ? victoria : no , i 'm gon na need more flowers in the church vestibule . yeah , that 's great . thank you . victor : that about the christening ? victoria : i know -- billy 's the father , jack 's the godfather , you 're appalled on both fronts . you 're distracted . is this about the warehouse district deal ? daddy , you do n't have to worry . the bad publicity is gon na die down . at least until the impact study is released . jack : i do n't give damn what some hack writes about me . victoria : is it because the delay of the sale because the chancellor division needs the influx of cash right now ? dad , you -- you do know that we have other alternatives , right ? victor : the sale of the chancellor division is not an option . victoria : that seems to be the best one that we have -- victor : please do n't bring it up again , my darling . victoria : dad , your decision to hold on to chancellor is hurting this business . it 's hurting you personally . so i will bring it up until you do something about it . colin : that could say `` chancellor `` with just your name under it . jill : [ chuckles ] except it does n't . it says `` newman - chancellor , `` and it belongs to victor . colin : well , i gave you a pile of cash to go ahead and buy it . jill : oh , sweetie . all stacked up on a silver platter , it made me feel like your gun moll . colin : well , it was just a taste . in fact , have you ever thought about what heaven might smell like ? you know , perhaps crisp $ 100 bills ? jill : where did you really get it ? did you kill your bookie ? did you rob a very rich child ? cane : did you rob a baby ? lily : you want to check the twins ' piggy bank or something ? jill : the twins do n't have that kind of money . cane : hang on a second . what kind of money are we talking about here ? jill : a down payment to buy chancellor from victor . my husband provided it to me . cane : do we want to know where he got it from ? jill : darling , if the cops come in , just give yourself up . it 'll be quicker , okay ? lily : so , where is the money from ? colin : a rather lucrative opportunity crossed my path . devon : well , why are you dodging this , colin ? just tell everyone where you got the money . hilary : you need a refill ? neil : no . no thanks . how about , uh , you just come here and sit down and talk to me for a couple minutes , huh ? hilary : yeah . of course . neil : [ sighs ] hilary , uh ... it 's a very hurtful thing knowing that my wife is crying to herself instead of telling me what is going on . hilary : [ sighs ] neil , i - i ... i do n't -- neil : i felt your tears on the pillow . i felt like that i was holding your sadness in my hands . hilary , talk to me . what is it that i do n't know ? neil : is it about the -- the -- the baby thing ? because i told you , hilary . i told you there 's no pressure here . hilary : no , no . it 's -- it 's not about having a baby . neil : if you do n't want to share with me whatever 's hurting you , how can i help you ? hilary : i just ... i should n't have gone to the spa . that 's not what a good , loyal wife does . neil : what are you talking about ? you got to look out for yourself . hilary : it 's not about me . neil : do n't do that . do n't martyr yourself for the blind man . i 'm not gon na have it . hilary : trust me , that 's not what i 'm doing . neil : i made a mistake , demanding that we start a family together . but you know why i did that ? i did that because i love you deeply . you know , it ... the last thing that i want you to do is coddle me or protect me . i 'm stronger than that . i want you to trust me enough , trust me , please , enough to tell me . hilary : there is ... something . devon : like you said , colin , we 're all family here . so how 'd you come into all this cash ? colin : this deal is , uh , delicate . it requires discretion . devon : mm . jill : it 's delicately illegal . colin : hardly . cane : so who gave you the money ? jill : if it was a loan , darling , what 's the interest rate ? what 's the collateral , my head ? colin : look , no one 's been put in jeopardy , there are no strings attached , and your pretty head 's gon na stay right where it looks pretty . lily : well , we would n't even be having this issue if somebody had gotten on chancellor first . cane : do n't . do n't . lily : what ? i just really want to know why you wo n't do it . i mean , if you do n't want to give jill and cane the money , that 's one thing . but why not for yourself ? this is family . and what 's more important than that ? cane : okay , all right , listen , do n't no one -- lily : no , i just want to know . he has billions of dollars . how is your money all tied up ? devon : it just is . lily : i do n't see any more cars or art or houses . are you gambling ? devon : mnh - mnh . that 's ridiculous . lily : okay , well , gwen does n't seem like a gold digger . devon : that 's 'cause she 's not . lily : then where 's your money going ? because it must be going somewhere . kelly : i am perfectly fine . the doctor would n't have released me if i were n't okay . stitch : that 's not what i mean , and you know it . kelly : jack is with phyllis . i have accepted that unpleasant truth . stitch : so you 're over it . kelly : is there an alternative ? stitch : come on , kel , that 's not an answer . you were planning a life with jack , then phyllis shows up and jack leaves you hanging . kelly : jack made his choice . he is a good , decent man who did n't want to abandon a woman who came out of a coma , no matter how unpleasant she may be . stitch : this is all about obligation ? is that it ? kelly : because he 's honorable . stitch : or maybe he loves her , kel . kelly : a woman who could attempt murder ? stitch : if you still think that you and jack have some future together ... kelly : the woman that jack chose wants me dead , okay ? i can take a hint and back off . paul : good morning . stitch : hey . paul : kelly , could i have a moment with you in private ? kelly : yes , of course . um ... ben ? stitch : we still need to talk . paul : thank you , stitch . stitch : yeah . kelly : what can i do for you , chief ? paul : well , i received some information from memorial . they 're a mandatory reporter , and i understand that you suffered ethylene glycol poisoning . kelly : is that what it was ? paul : that 's the main chemical component in antifreeze . kelly : oh . and you suspected that it was put in a cup of tea that you were served here at the club ? kelly : yeah , that 's the only thing i could think of . paul : my men are searching the kitchen , but all the teapots and the cups have been washed and sterilized , so i do n't have any evidence at this point . kelly : so that 's it ? there 's ... nothing left to pursue ? paul : oh , hardly . i 'm not letting this go , not by a long shot . phyllis : did you book me the ticket to switzerland or sweden or wherever dr. cutler does his dark magic ? jack : whoa , whoa , listen -- listen to me . you do n't trust dr. cutler . phyllis : no , i do n't . jack : neither do i . that 's why i set up a consultation with a psychiatrist at memorial . she comes very highly recommended . phyllis : a shrink . jack : she 's a doctor who knows how the brain works -- who knows how the brain should work . phyllis : because now i 'm mentally ill . jack : no . because now we know things are n't right . and we have to fix them . we need help . and if this doctor does n't give us the answers , we will find another doctor , until we get you better . phyllis : that sounds exhausting . jack : i will be with you every step of the way , just like you were in the cabin helping me through detox . sweetheart , if -- if what happened to kelly ... if you did these ... phyllis : i do n't know . i do n't know . and i ... am so angry , because even if i was denying it , i would know the truth . but this time i do n't know . jack : it 's okay . i promise . it 's gon na be okay . phyllis : she 's winning . jack , i 'm not sure how , but kelly 's winning . victoria : chancellor has been a financial drain ever since bonaventure . so , by selling chancellor , we will distance ourself from that tainted entity , and we 'll get the capital that we need so we can focus on what 's really important here , dad , which is newman enterprises . victor : sweetheart , i am not handing over chancellor to that cane ashby . victoria : okay , well -- victor : wait a minute . he is the one who saddled chancellor industries with that bonaventure deal . victoria : then sell it to somebody else , dad . victor : i sell it when it suits me , sweetheart . victoria : it should suit you now . by selling chancellor , you do n't need the warehouse deal . victor : one real - estate transaction is not gon na make a difference , okay ? victoria : it 's a transaction that the entire town hates . victor : i do n't give a damn if the entire town hates it . do you know what it means to re - develop the downtown district ? means a lot of jobs . the town should kiss my feet . victoria : dad , it 'll put dylan out of business . and if you think mom 's gon na forgive you for that , she 's not , dad . victor : then you have all the answers . victoria : no . but you hired me to give my opinion , and that 's my opinion . you got to sell chancellor unless you want to risk your business and your marriage for the sake of pride . victor : sweetheart , i love you , and i adore you . but when it comes to my marriage or my business , i make my own decisions . victoria : okay , dad . devon : chancellor costs a hell of a lot of money , guys . jill : katherine left you a hell of a lot of money . devon : in assets , stocks , and investments . everything else that i have liquid , i have committed to another venture . jill : committed or contracted ? is it verbal ? if you could think about backing us in chancellor -- devon : i do n't want to . lily : excuse me ? devon : katherine left me the money , and she left victor the company . if she wanted it to be any other way , she would have put that in her will . colin : a - a man has got to honor his conscience . jill : oh [ laughs ] have you all met my husband the saint ? colin : l - l - look , i have the utmost respect for devon for staying out of this . and besides , it makes me look like the hero . jill : well , mr . hero , i have to go and make my play to victor now . cane : give me a second . lily : go , go . i 'll babysit the in - laws . cane : so all your money is tied up , huh ? devon : you just heard me tell jill . cane : did you give the money to colin ? devon : why would you think that ? cane : does he have leverage over you ? he does , does n't he ? does he know about you and hilary ? devon : there 's nothing to know . we 're over . neil : we have to be straight here with each other , do n't we ? hilary : have you been straight with me ? 'cause , you know , your new eye doctor called while you were in the shower to confirm an appointment that i never knew you had . neil : i -- it 's , um ... it 's an experimental program for vision restoration , yes . hilary : you 're a candidate ? they think that you 'll see again ? neil : there 's a chance , yes . hilary : okay , how did this happen ? when ? neil : my regular doctor referred me . i was evaluated . every step of the way , though , it 's -- it 's been a - a long shot , hilary . hilary : but now you 're on your way to an appointment . why did n't you tell me ? this is what we 've been waiting for . neil : do -- do you see what 's happening here ? i did n't want to get your hopes up because i - i did n't -- i did n't want to let you down again . hilary : you 've never let me down . but to shut me out like this ... neil : i want to save you the pain , the angst , here . hilary : look who 's coddling who . neil : i saw something . nothing distinct . blurry . but i - i saw a flicker . but it happened . hilary : it happened . neil : but it might -- it might not happen again . hilary : but it might . neil : but it -- i do n't -- i do n't know -- hilary : okay . no , no , no . it is not over until it 's over . okay ? we have hope . damn right . and we have a reason to . oh , my ... i want to come with you to your appointment , okay ? neil : would it hurt your feelings if ... if i said no ? that i - i 'd rather go alone ? hilary : no . that 's -- sure . whatever you want . paul : a victim was poisoned . i 'm not about to drop the investigation . kelly : well , if there 's no evidence of foul play , what can you do ? paul : well , first up , we can take a look at the security footage here in the dining room and see if that can tell us anything about who might have done this to you . do you have an idea ? kelly : paul , i ca n't do this . i 'm sorry . i - i just finished telling my brother , i do n't want any more drama in my life . paul : kelly , if you know , you have to tell me . kelly : what ? it 's just gon na be more of my word against hers . paul : phyllis . so this has to do with jack ? kelly : this whole thing has been going on since new year 's . she keeps orchestrating these situations trying to make it look like i 'm attacking her . paul : there 's some distance between that and putting poison in your tea . kelly : jack was n't convinced that i was to blame , so she had to figure out some other way to remove me from the equation . paul : well [ chuckles ] for someone who just got out of the hospital , you -- you 're not afraid for your life ? kelly : i heard a lot about phyllis when she was in the coma , and i heard about how tough she was . i met her , and look at her . i mean , she 's engaged to jack , and she 's threatened by me . that 's irrational . and pathetic . and plus , she 's shown her hand , so what else can she do ? paul : so you 're not afraid at all ? kelly : honestly , i 'm afraid for her . and for jack . i mean , he wanted his fiancée back , and instead he got ... whoever phyllis is now . jack : i do n't want to speak for phyllis , but i - i think it is safe to say we are both concerned about possible side effects of some medication she was given . between that and the basic trauma of the coma ... we just want to understand . we want some explanation for recent actions and events . dr. battencourt : well , that 's absolutely something phyllis and i can work on together . shall we ? uh , if you 'll just wait outside . jack : oh , uh , o - of course . i 'll be ... ... right outside the door , okay ? phyllis : he 's not usually so nervous . it 's just 'cause i went from hell on wheels to off - the - rails crazy . dr. battencourt : do you think there 's a problem ? phyllis : do you want me to blow smoke so we can both get out of here ? or do you want the actual truth ? hilary : the doctors feel he might have a chance with this new program . they think he might recover his vision . devon : wow . how long has this been happening , going on for ? what did -- he did n't tell me . why ? hilary : he 's known for weeks . he did n't say anything 'cause he did n't want to get our hopes up . devon : so he 's at the doctor right now by himself ? hilary : i think he just wanted to get the information on his own . i had to respect his wishes . devon : wow . he can get his whole life back . hilary : i know it 's selfish , but first thing i thought was ... devon : we could tell him the truth . hilary : neil could have his life back . and we could have ours . devon : be out in the open . never have to hide again . colin : victor 's gon na try to get inside your head , either by flattery or insults . jill : are you seriously standing here trying to tell me how to handle a powerful man ? have i mentioned my ex - husbands ? colin : may they all rest in peace . but this guy 's alive and kicking , and you better be ready for him . jill : excuse me while i go get what should have been mine . cane : so , what did you do ? colin : well , i kissed my wife for luck . cane : who gave you the money , how did you convince them , and what do they expect in return ? colin : enough with the questions . you have nothing to worry about . cane : no , i have a lot to worry about . do you have any idea how much this can cost us ? colin : it 's not gon na cost you or jill a dime . it 's legitimate . i swear to you . cane : and you can promise me that . colin : i cost you the job at chancellor once before because of that bonaventure mess . this is my way of paying you back . cane : dad , i did not ask you to pay me back . colin : katherine wanted you at chancellor . you deserve it . and you 're gon na have it . stitch : hey . victoria : hey . what are you doing here ? stitch : i was just going for a walk . you ? victoria : uh ... did you get kelly settled in at home ? stitch : i did n't get to . she checked herself out of the hospital last night . victoria : what ? stitch : yeah , and she 's back at work today . victoria : is that safe ? stitch : physically she seems okay . victoria : but ? stitch : she 's still so wound up about jack . i swear she thinks that they 're still gon na get back together . victoria : oh . well , you know jack 's engaged to phyllis . so he 's moved on , truly . she does n't see that ? stitch : she does n't . it 's like i talk and i talk , but she does n't even hear me . victoria : oh , sounds like me and my dad . so i take a power walk in the park . that 's one way to deal with it . stitch : yeah . [ katie fusses ] victoria : oh , it 's because i stopped moving . it 's okay . stitch : oh , hey . hey . hey . so you 're just like your mom , huh ? got to constantly be on the move . you know what else has to be on the move all the time is a shark . you 're not part shark , are you ? huh ? you do n't even have any teeth yet . victoria : the christening is soon , you know . stitch : yeah , i know . um ... i - i probably should n't be there . i - it -- it 's all right . i - it 's fine . victoria : you of all people should be there . phyllis : here 's the thing -- i hate kelly . she 's not the first person i 've hated . there have been dozens . probably hundreds . it does n't matter . i wanted her gone since the first day i heard about her and jack . dr. battencourt : well , the question seems to be , have you actively tried to remove her from his life ? phyllis : i do n't know . dr. battencourt : right now , we just need the questions . the answers will come . the other question seems to be , could the medication you 've received be causing this confusion ? phyllis : between us , look , i - i ... i know how to lie . i can cover , spin , and dodge . but this time , i ... i do n't know what the hell 's going on . dr. battencourt : you honestly have no idea ? phyllis : well , i think that 's pretty obvious . that 's why i came to you -- to get some answers . dr. battencourt : if it 's not the medication , if there 's another answer ... phyllis : what are you saying ? that i straight up , with malice and forethought , gave that bitch what she deserved ? jack : kelly . kelly : [ gasps ] jack : what are you doing here ? are you -- are you still not feeling well from the -- kelly : poison ? it 's okay , jack . you can say it . and please do n't worry . i 'm fine . i was just having a little follow - up . excuse me . jack : kelly , wait . kelly : jack , uh , really , i - i - i ca n't talk right now . e - especially -- i do n't want phyllis to get wind of this and -- just tell her , if she asks , that i was passing through , okay ? i 'm not trying to stalk you jack : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry , kelly . i truly am . stitch : billy and i have our own version of a truce . i know when to back off , and i think the christening is one of those times . i do n't want to add to your stress . victoria : [ sighs ] add to my stress . hmm . let 's see , my father hates katherine 's father , billy , and her godfather , jack . my mother is furious at my father for endangering her son dylan 's livelihood , and abby , uh , katherine 's godmother , has a way of making events all about herself . and who knows , maybe phyllis will decide that she wants to attend another church event all dressed in white . stitch : you 're right . i 'd hate to miss out on all the fun . victoria : forget about all that , okay ? you know , the person who really needs you there is katie . stitch : little katie , huh ? victoria : yeah . she told me so a few minutes ago . stitch : well , if she wants me there , i ca n't say no to that , can i ? victoria : unh - unh . stitch : hey . hey , there . ca n't say no to you , can i ? you know , i used to talk to you when you were still cozy inside your mama 's belly . you know that ? i may not be your dad ... but i 'm always gon na be your friend . and i will always love you . victoria : well , jill , the cavalry has arrived . are you here to save me and my company or ... ? jill : see , you 're joking , but i ... i am serious . victor : [ laughs ] you seem to be short . jill : well , it 's the down payment . victor : uh - huh . in cash , huh ? that 's how you do business ? jill : [ chuckles ] i think it 's kind of endearing and whimsical . consider it an act of friendship , huh ? victor : how sweet of you . still short . jill : i have the rest . victor : oh , yeah ? until it 's in my corporate account in full , you 're still short , and we 're gon na have nothing to talk about , okay ? jill : victor , it will be on the way as soon as you and i have a deal . victor : a briefcase full of cash and a promise . you 've been out of the business world for too long . does n't fly with me . jill : all i want is a commitment from you to sell . victor : what about `` no `` do n't you understand , jill ? jill : is this what you want for your epitaph ? huh ? `` the man who drove katherine chancellor 's empire into the ground `` ? victor : let me give you a little history . jill : mm . victor : my dear friend katherine chancellor , who i miss a lot , brought me to this town originally . you know why ? she wanted me to run her company . and i made chancellor industries to what it is . you get it ? now , for you to come here with a load of cash like a drug dealer , that 's embarrassing . she 'd be ashamed of you . jill : no , she would n't be ashamed of me . she 'd be proud of me . 'cause she knew me inside and out , okay ? she knew i would fight for chancellor . hell , this is probably exactly what she wanted , which means i 'm gon na fight like hell . victor : you 'll go down in grand fashion . that is probably what katherine wanted . phyllis : i lost a year of my life . a whole year . i missed my daughter 's wedding . my son , her daughter , my fiancé , all of them , were out of my life , and me out of theirs . and yeah , when i got back , i , um , stopped by jack 's house . but after that , i just had one thought in my mind -- make sharon suffer . every step , every move getting her closer to that stairwell . make sharon pay . i hate kelly . but she hates me just as much , maybe even more . her sob story is legit . but she thinks she deserves jack to make up for all of her suffering . and somehow , i 'm the interloper . i 'm the home wrecker . and now i 'm the one that 's supposed to suffer ? and yet here i am , the one under the microscope . dr. battencourt : we can approach this two ways -- facts , timelines , evidence of who did what when . phyllis : the problem is , some of that is shaky . dr. battencourt : or we can talk about how you feel . what you believe , why you believe it . your hopes . your expectations . phyllis : [ scoffs ] my expectation was to come home and get my life back . i did n't . i was in our home , in our bed , and his mind was ... he was in love with someone else . not me . he did n't want to make love because he did n't want rush things , or because he did n't want to betray her ? my stuff was packed up and put away as if i did n't exist . she took my home . my bed . my fiancé . mine . dr. battencourt : but you have all those things back now . phyllis : when he looks at me , there 's pity in his eyes . i do n't do pity . dr. battencourt : that 's interesting . because what i saw is love . phyllis : i came here to get some help . are you gon na give me any of that or what ? dr. battencourt : you need to consider that this insecurity is more of a threat to your relationship than any outsider . and if you truly believe you crossed a line in the past , then make amends to the people you hurt . that 's the first step in moving on . kelly : jack , please do n't say anything . jack : kelly , we need to talk about this . kelly : paul is investigating what happened to me . i did n't instigate that , i swear . jack : phyllis is not to blame . they were side effects from the treatment she was given . kelly : is she here getting help ? jack : yes . once we get to the bottom of this , none of this will ever happen again . victor did this to her , to all of us . and she should n't go to prison for something she does n't even remember . kelly : jack , listen . stop . phyllis is n't gon na go to prison . i 'm not filing a complaint . jack : i thought you said that paul -- kelly : there 's no evidence . and i made it very clear that i 'm not gon na press charges . you 've been through enough . and i just want this over . jack : thank you . i ca n't tell you how much i appreciate that . thank you . jack : phyllis , this was ... phyllis : kelly , you look better . i 'm really sorry for what happened . kelly : oh , well , thank you . i 'm sure we 'll all be fine . time heals everything . jack : you okay ? phyllis : i do n't know . jack : i know that i have never been prouder of you . paul : and the security footage from that day ? lily : there is none . we upgraded the system and there 's been some glitches . paul : ahh . so , that 's a fine `` how do you do . `` um ... let 's see . do you mind if i talk to some of the staff ? lily : no . please do . and tell them i said to answer any questions . paul : i 'll do that . lily : yeah . paul : thanks , lily . lily : sure . hi . kelly : hey . lily : you okay ? you look a little flushed . kelly : oh , do i ? maybe i 'm in shock . phyllis actually apologized to me . lily : so she admitted it . kelly : basically . lily : well , paul 's asking the staff if they saw anything . you should tell him . kelly : no . [ sighs ] he needs to leave it alone . lily : why would you say that ? kelly : because i just promised jack that i was n't gon na file a complaint . this whole thing has to stop . i can be the bigger person here . and part of me pities phyllis . i feel terrible that she feels so threatened by me . lily : well , we know that 's a lie . hilary : it 's gon na be so hard , telling him . devon : yeah , well , nothing 's harder than not telling him . hilary : and when i cried last night , neil realized it . devon : it kills me to think of you being that sad . hilary : he 's just -- he 's so intelligent and attentive . i feel like deep down , he already senses . devon : there 's no point to worry about that . we wo n't have to wonder soon enough . we 'll be able to explain and apologize and stop living this lie . hilary : yeah . and then neil 's gon na think that all the time that i spent with him was out of pity . we 're still gon na hurt him . devon : all we can do is face him and the consequences together . hilary : you 're making plans for something that may never happen . who knows how long this program is gon na take , or if it 'll even work at all ? devon : this is going to work . i believe it 's gon na work . neil deserves this . hilary : do we deserve it ? devon : that 's not up for us to decide , what we deserve . all i know is that i love you , and i ca n't wait to let the world know that . [ door opens ] jack : we 're on the right track . what you said to kelly , that took real guts . phyllis : well , i 'm trying to do what the doctor said . you know , making amends might help , and admitting that ... jack : admitting what ? phyllis : that i am insecure about us . and maybe that is making me destructive . jack : do n't you ever question my feelings for you . i love you more than you will ever know . lily : please . you are thrilled that phyllis is threatened . kelly : no . lily : of course , you are . because if phyllis is threatened , that means that maybe jack still wants to be with you . kelly : lily , i told you , i do not expect jack and i to get back together , ever . lily : okay , but you 're not gon na turn him down if he did . kelly : we are in a very kind and respectful place . he was apologetic . he had so much regret . lily : what , about accusing you of setting phyllis up ? kelly : no . i think there was much more to it than that . i think jack is finally realizing that phyllis is n't the woman that he once loved . hilary : i am so happy you 're back . we have company . devon : how you doing dad ? neil : i know . i can feel you here , devon . i 'm doing all right . good to see you . i 'm glad you 're here . there 's something i want to talk to you about . hilary : okay , well , i 'm gon na go make a call , but you two keep going . devon : yeah . what 's going on ? neil : come here . mm - hmm . i was actually , uh , just at the doctor . devon : right . for this new program that you 're in . hilary was telling me about it . i hope you do n't mind . neil : no . hey , um ... hey . too many secrets , all right ? enough holding back . i have to learn how to trust . trust you all with the truth . and part of the truth here is that this vision - restoration program , it may not -- it might not work , you know ? and that 's reality . but telling hilary about that and everything else , i know one thing is for sure -- that either way , man , that girl loves me . and either way , we 're gon na have one hell of a life together . you hear what i 'm saying ? devon : i do . yeah . colin : so ... ? [ sighs ] jill : i do n't want to hear what i should 've said or should 've done . victor was not the least bit impressed with the stacks of cash in here . he wants the full price now . cane : and if he does n't get it ? jill : if he does n't get it , he 's liable to sell it to somebody else if he gets desperate enough . colin : fear not . there 's more where this came from . you 'll be running chancellor before you know it . kay : you 've been given a wake - up call . a message , perhaps , that says your , uh , waging battles against greedy corporate raiders are over . victor : if you had a chance to run your company again , would n't you want to change the things that you knew had to be changed ? kay : but i 'm not you . victor : yeah , but you would keep fighting , would n't you ? kay : well , if i were in your position . but i 'm not in your position . [ chuckles ] which i , uh , might remind you , is currently lying in a hospital bed . victor : but as you said , you and i are cut from the same cloth , katherine . and when i 'm down and out , lying on my back ... i lash out even more . i fight harder . kay : does this mean you 're going to risk your health , and the well - being of your loved ones just to fight one jack abbott ? victor : i have a feeling there 's more than , um , just jack abbott , you know ? i have a feeling i 'm gon na have to fight a few other people . well , i think you 'd do the same . kay : if i were you , i know what i would do . i 'd think about spending some time with my family . and making the most of what i have , instead of risking everything for what i do n't . victor : only you would understand , katherine . i miss you so much . [ next_on ] jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : it 's a game that i 'm winning . nick : what exactly is gabriel to you ? woman : my husband . ashley : where is it ? victor : where 's what ? ashley : the sample of the formula that i 've been working on for over a year . and do n't tell me that you do n't have it .

[ growls ] max : after we leave here , can we go back to the park and have a snowball fight ? stitch : that sounds like a blast . abby : [ laughs ] yeah , or , um , here 's a thought . what if we went back to the club and we ordered room service and played that new video game i got you ? 'cause , you know , i am just so exhausted after all that ice skating . stitch : yeah . max : no one said you have to come . abby : [ chuckles uncomfortably ] sharon : this is such a precious time in a child 's life , and ... i missed out on that with my three girls . now i have to share custody of faith with nick , so i just want to relish every moment of being sully 's mom from the very beginning . dylan : yeah , i know what you mean . sharon : you do ? dylan : [ sighs ] yeah . i waited so long to become a dad . now that it 's here , i want to make the most of it . and as hard as it is to leave you two ... sharon : duty calls ? dylan : yeah . there you go . ahh . so , after i interview adam , i 'm gon na catch up with sage -- see if there 's anything i can do for her and nick . sharon : you know , i kind of wonder if maybe dr. anderson is right . maybe it 's not safe for sage to be around the baby . what do you think ? dylan : oh , i do n't know . i know -- i know sage lost it , and we ca n't ignore that , but i do n't want you worrying . i 'll always protect you and our son . sharon : i know you will . and i 'm gon na do my part , too . i 'm taking him for a checkup today . dylan : really ? sharon : mm - hmm . dylan : okay . let me know how it goes . sharon : okay . dylan : see you , buddy . sharon : mm - hmm . bye , daddy .

[ groans lightly ] thank you . abby : mm - hmm . stitch : i 'll see you at the club later , all right ? abby : yes . it 's a date . stitch : hey . buck up , champ . abby : so [ chuckles ] this 'll be fun ! [ sighs heavily ] dr. neville : if your assumption is i 'm gon na just stand here and passively enjoy this shameless defeatism , you are sadly mistaken . surely by now you 've heard what a brilliant doctor i am . ashley : absolutely , mostly from you . dr. neville : does n't make it any less veritable . ashley : if you 're so brilliant , why are n't i getting any better ? dr. neville : 'cause you 've got to give it a chance . we just started the treatment . it takes time to work . ashley : i 'm a cancer survivor . i know all about that . i also know that there are several outcomes , and i ca n't just ignore the bad ones because you want me to . i have to think about the people that i would be leaving behind . can you understand that ? dr. neville : you 're a `` glass half empty `` kind of gal , are n't you ? ashley : i 'm not . i 'm a pragmatist . dr. neville : no , you 're being pessimistic . ashley : i do n't want my daughter to be faced making the same decision that jack had to with billy . dr. neville : i understand . that 's a relevant point , so put someone else in charge of your affairs -- someone mature . ashley : i 've absolutely taken the decision out of my daughter 's hands . dr. neville : you lost me . ashley : i 'm asking you , simon ... if your treatment does n't work ... will you please end my life before my family has to ? dylan : why would you call dr. anderson ? that 's the last person your wife wants to see . nick : sage thinks she is way too involved in our lives . that 's why she freaked out in front of all those people . dr. anderson : not the actions of a stable person . nick , as i said last night , your wife needs help . nick : sage said she would rather sit in jail than take any help from you . dr. anderson : another clear indication that she 's not well . you know my recommendation -- in - patient psychiatric care . dylan : so , it is true ? you want to send her to fairview ? dr. anderson : well , that 's one option . nick , i assume that 's why you called me -- because you thought about what i said and decided you agree with me . nick : what can i do if she wo n't go ? dr. anderson : you 're sage 's husband . if she 's not of sound mind , you have the ability to make decisions for her . nick : like having her committed ? dr. anderson : my offer stands . i will drop the charges if you admit your wife for a 72-hour psych hold at the facility of your choosing . she 'll be evaluated and treated by staff there . all you have to do is sign these papers . dylan : i do n't know , man . it 's your decision . nick : where would you recommend ? dr. anderson : memorial has a first - rate psychiatric unit . she 'd receive the best care there . nick : [ sighs ] you have a pen ? [ exhales sharply ] dylan : i 'll arrange for her release and transfer . nick : thanks . sage : what the hell is she doing here ? adam : hold on a second . what the hell 's going on here ? sage : i 'll tell you what 's going on . this harpy , who 's after my husband , is here to make sure i do n't make bail . nick : actually , dr. anderson is willing to drop all charges if you just -- sage : yeah , i know what your deal is , and you know what i 've told you to do with it . your license should be revoked . you are a sick woman . adam : hold on a second . what deal ? sage : she thinks that i 'm crazy , and she wants to have me committed . dr. anderson : i 'm not the only one worried about you , sage . so is nick . that 's why he signed these papers transferring you to memorial for psychiatric evaluation . sage : what ? ! you 're having me committed ? ! nick : it 's only for 72 hours . sage : nick , this is crazy ! why are you doing this ? dylan : officer morris has your belongings . she 'll escort you to the hospital . sage : no ! i 'm not going , nick ! nick : sage , it 's for the best . sage : no ! i do n't consent to this ! please ! nick : please , sage . please . dr. anderson : nick , i 'll get her settled . nick : i 'll stop by shortly . thank you . adam : hold on a second . your wife just lost a child , all right ? she needs some compassion , not a straitjacket . what the hell kind of husband are you ? nick : mind your own business . adam : she 's my friend ! this is my business ! dylan : all right . all right . that 's enough . you two , in the office , please . nick : [ exhales sharply ] sharon : long shift ? stitch : oh . uh , actually , i have the day off . just stopped by to look in on a patient who had a rough night . sharon : i assume you heard about sage ? stitch : getting arrested ? yeah . it 's sad . she 's been through a lot . sharon : she and nick both have . stitch : yeah . sharon : dylan and i feel for them . so , how 's max ? stitch : uh , it 's ... been a rocky transition , you know , for all of us , really , but abby 's being a really good sport about it . max has n't exactly welcomed her into his life , but ... i think she 's making some headway with him . abby : oh , look ! the penguin movie is playing on two screens , and if we hurry , we can make it in time for the noon showing . max : admit it . you do n't want to watch some stupid kids ' movie . abby : are you kidding me ? i love cartoons . yeah . and this one is in 3-d. how cool is that ? max : i changed my mind . i do n't want to watch a movie . abby : okay . snowball fight it is . max : no . i 'm not in the mood anymore . abby : okay . um , we could go shopping . max : for what -- clothes ? yuck . abby : a museum ? okay . um [ chuckles nervously ] how about , uh -- how about , um -- max : i do n't need a babysitter . i 'm old enough to take care of myself . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa , mister . you 're not going anywhere . dr. neville : end your life ? ashley : i 'm sure you know what i 'm asking . dr. neville : i do . and , frankly , i 'm a little insulted . ashley : i 'm just saying if my health takes a sudden turn for the wor -- dr. neville : first of all , the treatment will work . you 're not going to get worse . you 're going to get better . so why do n't you just get used to that idea ? second ... i 'm in the business of saving lives , not snuffing them out . and last but not least , what you 're asking of me is somewhat ... illegal . ashley : so , you 're gon na try to tell me that you 've never bent the rules where a patient is concerned ? because please do n't . we both know that 's not true . look ... i know you 've been faced with terminally ill patients before that did n't make it , correct ? dr. neville : yes . more than my share ... which is just one of the reasons why i go to such extremes to save anybody ... who entrusts me with their care . ashley : extending my life might not be an option . my other doctors were absolutely positive that -- dr. neville : were ordinary , unimaginative , not up to this task . i assure you i am . have faith , ms . abbott . that 's why we 're here , hmm ? now , if you do n't mind , i 'd like to forego any further conversation about your imminent demise . ashley : okay . let 's , uh , concentrate on the upside . dr. neville : yeah , an idea whose time has come . and while we 're on the bus back to the here and now , why do n't we commence with today 's treatment ? stitch : ash , let me say this . okay ? ashley : [ sighs ] stitch : i love you . ashley : [ gasps ] [ exhales sharply ] dr. neville : what , bad dream ? ashley : ohh . ohh . dr. neville : huh ? ashley : yeah , it 's ... that fire . it was horrifying . dr. neville : oof . i 'm sorry . nightmare , then . mm - hmm . ashley : thankfully , i was n't alone . dr. neville : ahh . well , let me guess . a certain army medic who considers himself a doctor -- patches ? ashley : stitch . dr. neville : he was with you ? ashley : yes , and he 's a very good doctor and a very good man . dr. neville : so , the dream was n't all bad , then ? ashley : he 's married to my daughter , you know . dr. neville : [ sighs ] he certainly is . ashley : what are you implying ? dr. neville : that i 've seen the way you act around him , and there are certain qualifiable physiological reactions . ashley : oh , really ? well , you know what ? like what ? dr. neville : well , like your eyes dilate , for one thing , which is a sure sign of interest , if not outright ashley : okay . that 's ridiculous . dr. neville : no . it 's science . ashley : well , maybe it 's because ... a long time ago , we had , like , a little thing , but it 's definitely in the past now . dr. neville : is it ? abby : yoo - hoo ! hello ! anybody home ? ! dr. neville : here . here . here . abby : hello ? ashley : go , go , go , go , go . abby : [ sighs ] hi ! great ! hi ! hi ! um , max rayburn , this is my mom , ashley abbott , and this is the man that she 's been working with -- dr. simon neville . they 've been doing some medical research . dr. neville : how do you do , young man ? max : okay , i guess . ashley : hi , max ! i 've heard so much about you from your dad and from abby , of course . abby : okay ! well , um , i was just gon na give max a tour of the lab , but , you know , i think dr. neville would be much better at that . dr. neville : me too . in the interest of entertainment , we 'll start with the corrosive , dangerous , and toxic . put that down . it 's expensive . this way . ashley : so , what 's going on ? you 're spending time with ben 's son ? abby : ben got paged , so i volunteered to hang out with him , and now ... ashley : it 's not going the way you hoped ? abby : no ! he is bratty and defiant , and he clearly hates me . ashley : i am so sorry . abby : i have to just be okay with this . i have to let it go , you know ? i have to make this work , for ben 's sake . but with this kid , every time i try something , it 's like one step forward and 20 steps back . and if this does n't change soon , it 's gon na cost me my marriage . [ sighs ] dylan : so , what else can you tell me about the phone conversation the kidnapper had ? adam : uh , uh , nothing . i - i already told you everything . dylan : well , tell me again . you might have left out a detail that 's important . adam : i did n't . chelsea : take it easy on him , dylan . adam 's been through an ordeal . adam : that 's not what i 'm upset about , babe . i 'm upset about nick abandoning sage at a time when she needs him the most . what 's that all about ? dylan : nick 's doing what he thinks is best for his wife , you know ? there 's no easy way to deal with somebody with mental illness or a mental breakdown . adam : is that right ? is that -- is that true ? remind me again where you got your medical degree from . chelsea : adam . adam : what 's the name of the school ? dylan : i 'm just saying it 's not your place to judge nick . adam : that is a hell of a thing for you to say to me , is n't it ? and what are you saying ? you can tell if someone has mental illness just by looking at them ? dylan : do n't put words in my mouth . adam : you said it , man ! dylan : we 're talking about the kidnapping here , adam . that 's why you 're here . adam : listen , i know what it 's like to deal with someone who 's going through a mental - health crisis , okay ? why do n't you go home and ask sharon who was there for her ? when she got diagnosed with bipolar disorder , who was there for her ? it was me . it was n't nick . it was n't that saint . he abandoned her , just like he 's abandoning sage . it 's disgusting . chelsea : babe . dylan : where -- ad -- where you -- where you going ? adam : i 'm sick of answering your silly questions , all right ? i got other places to be . babe , let 's go . chelsea : i 'm sorry . dylan : [ sighs ] sharon : nick . what 's wrong ? nick : sage was just admitted -- 3-day hold . sandy felt like she should be evaluated . sharon : i 'm sorry . nick : yeah , me too . i mean , if there was any other way ... sharon : i feel like it 's partly my fault for not letting sage spend time with the baby . i know that 's what pushed her over the edge . nick : look , i know you 're just trying to protect sully , but sage is no threat to him . sharon : i know you believe that , but i trust dr. anderson , and i have to do what 's best for my son . well , good luck . you know i - i wish the best for you two . nick : thanks . how 's sage doing ? dr. anderson : she 's upset , understandably . no one likes being forced into treatment . but you did the right thing . nick : can i see her ? just -- just for a few minutes , just to make sure she 's okay ? dr. anderson : all right . dr. anderson : sage ... nick is here . sage : go away . nick : can i have a couple minutes alone with her ? dr. anderson : of course . nick : thanks . sage : is it working ? is she buying it ? nick : well , it seems to be . but , sage , i think we made a terrible mistake . sage : what mistake ? you said anderson believes i 'm crazy . nick : she does . but we also convinced adam , chelsea , dylan . i even convinced sharon i had you committed based on sandy 's recommendation . sage : so , what 's the problem , then ? nick : i 'm just -- i 'm worried . we 're getting in a little deep here , and you 're the one who 's taking all the risks . sage : well , it 's worth the risks if we can find out what she 's hiding . nick : i just -- [ sighs ] okay , but the second you feel like you 're in any danger , i 'm pulling the plug on this . sage : i could n't do this without you , okay ? nick : i do n't like leaving you like this . sage : you have to . she 's gon na start suspecting something . nick : all right . sage : hey , come here . i love you . nick : i love you . be careful . sage : go . nick : love you . dr. anderson : hey . let 's go get a coffee . it 'll be a while before we know anything . nick : okay . adam : excuse me . uh , my sister - in - law sage newman was just admitted . can you -- she 's in there ? okay , great . thank you very much . i appreciate that . chelsea : adam , are you sure this is a good idea ? sage : what are you guys doing here ? chelsea : hey . uh , we were just a little concerned about you . adam : it was a nasty scene at the police station , and then last night at the club , from what i gather , after reading all that online . sage : yeah . well , it was . and i 'll tell you what -- she 's out to get me . and before you say that i 'm delusional , you have to understand , adam , that she 's the problem , not me . she 's trying to convince nick that i 'm obsessed with sharon 's baby so that she can have me out of the picture and have him for herself . he 's probably with her right now ! adam : okay . let 's just -- you know , let 's settle down . sage : no , i 'm not gon na settle down ! i do n't trust a word that comes out of her mouth , and i found the proof that she 's out to get me , okay ? ! chelsea : i 'm gon na give you guys a minute -- okay ? -- to talk . adam : hey . [ chuckles softly ] hey . just take a couple of deep breaths , okay ? and why do n't you just tell me what she 's done to you ? sage : are you on her side now ? is that what it is ? adam : that 's not what -- sage : i can not believe this common tramp is snowing you . this is ridiculous . adam : well , hold -- okay . look . you know what ? we 're getting the hell out of here . come on . sage : no . adam , you ca n't . ashley : hey . you have everything it takes to be a wonderful stepmom , i promise you . you 're just gon na have to give it time . abby : yeah . that 's what ben said . ashley : it 's the truth . you 're a fantastic person . someday soon , max is gon na realize how fantastic you are . abby : but was it this rough when you married dad when victoria was little ? ashley : are you kidding me ? victoria used to call me `` the wicked witch . `` nikki put her up to that . fun , huh ? abby : seriously ? ashley : yeah . yeah . abby : i knew you guys have never been close , but ... ashley : there was a time when she was a teenager i thought maybe it would happen , but , you know , it never worked out for your dad and me . but ... you 're in a completely different situation , okay ? you 're not gon na have the same obstacles i did . so keep your chin up . be patient . that 's the best advice i can give you . abby : thank you . ashley : you 're welcome , honey . abby : um ... well , i guess i 'd better get max . ashley : okay . abby : hey , max ! how was the tour ? dr. neville : brilliant . i was just showing young maximilian how to make goo in a commonly found cold medication . abby : wow ! that sounds interesting . max : i know , right ? ! abby : [ chuckles ] i think we should probably save it for another time , though . we have to meet your dad . remember ? max : stupid lunch . dr. neville : oh , come back anytime . we 'll finish the experiment . abby : bye . thank you . ashley : bye , max . see you later . ashley : you were really good with him . dr. neville : i , uh -- i 've got to finish looking at your results . excuse me . dylan : well , that 's good . it sounds like abby and max are getting along better . stitch : yeah . they 're making progress . it 's not gon na happen overnight , though , but ... dylan : hey , it does n't have to . you got the rest of your lives to figure it out . stitch : that 's a great way to look at it . yeah . i did n't think of that . hey , abby told me about chelsea 's bridal show -- the police thing . dylan : mm . stitch : it sounds like one hell of an op -- rescuing adam , catching the bad guy . dylan : things worked out the way they were supposed to for a change . stitch : so , were you helping paul unofficially again ? dylan : no . stitch : what ? ! you 're a detective ? ! whoa ! well , congratulations , man . that was quick . dylan : i got some -- i got some connections . paul put me on the fast track because of my military experience , and i took a few other tests . stitch : okay . and this is a good thing , right ? dylan : man , yeah . no , it 's good . it 's good . it 's good . sharon 's not too , uh , thrilled about it . stitch : well , she 's probably just worried about you , you know , getting hurt . dylan : yeah . it just makes me wonder if i made the right choice . stitch : you happy doing police work ? dylan : what -- - yea -- i love it . i mean , it 's the first thing since the army that just makes sense , you know ? stitch : so , why give it up ? dylan : well , i - i do n't want my work to push sharon into a downward spiral or be gone too much that i miss any signs of trouble . stitch : hey , you got to do what 's best for you , or you wo n't be any good to her or sully . dylan : [ sighs ] nick : thank you . whoa . jeremy : hey , you need some help with that , buddy ? joe : we 're pretty good at balancing some things . nick : uh , even biscotti ? joe : i mean , it does n't sound like much of a challenge . jeremy : be careful , though . if you drop that , you 're probably not gon na get a second chance . nick : [ chuckles ] yeah . uh , i think i 'll survive . joe : mm . nick : thanks , fellas . see you . jeremy : all right . joe : cheers . [ both chuckle ] joe : this clown . nick : [ sighs ] here you go . dr. anderson : ah . oh . no biscotti for me . thank you . [ chuckles ] nick : okay . dr. anderson : how are you holding up ? nick : well , i 'm kind of a wreck , actually . did you see sage 's face when i had to say goodbye to her ? i mean , what am i doing to her ? dr. anderson : look , i realize that sage is furious with you , but it would have been much harder if she 'd been locked up in jail , even if she ca n't see that now . nick : i know you deal with a lot of patients , but it 's a lot different when you 're the one who 's suffered the loss . dr. anderson : how do you mean ? nick : you may think you know what sage is going through , but you have no idea . dr. anderson : you could n't be more wrong . stitch : you know how i feel about neville . why would you take max around that guy ? abby : max did n't want to go to the movie , so i thought i 'd introduce him to my mom , tour him around jabot . i do n't know . i did n't think it was that big of a deal . stitch : i do n't trust neville , okay ? so you 're just gon na need to check in with me before you take him anyplace like that . abby : it was my family 's company , not a nuclear power plant . stitch : you 're not listening . this is my son . i need to be kept in the loop when it comes to him . understand ? abby : well , then , maybe you should n't have run off to work and left him with me ? ashley : if only you were smart and fast . dr. neville : patience . i have the results . i 'm just being thorough . i 'm gon na compare your blood count to what i took earlier . ashley : please , simon . honestly , the suspense is killing me . dr. neville : you think you can take it ? ashley : it 's working ? the treatment 's working ? sharon : well , this is a nice surprise . i was n't expecting you here this early . dylan : yeah . it 's , uh , been a tough morning . i just needed to see you and this little guy . in case i have n't told you lately ... you are everything to me ... and i love you . you okay ? what 's wrong ? sharon : i saw nick at the hospital today , and , my god . how much more trauma can those two endure ? it just breaks my heart to see them struggle like that . dylan : i know . sharon : but , at the same time ... it makes me all the more grateful that we have sully . dylan : yeah . me too . hey , bud . adam : you obviously do n't belong here , so come on . we 're walking out of here . sage : adam , no . adam : let 's go . sage : please . adam : no ? wh - why the hell not ? you want to stay here ? sage : because if i fight this , it 's gon na make it worse . adam : worse ? how the hell could it get any worse ? you 're being held against your will in a psych unit , sage . sage : nick signed the papers . it 's not up to me . adam : which is also what i wanted to talk to you about . sage : he did that so she would drop the assault charge . there were so many witnesses , of course , she 'd win , and i would rot in a jail cell while she has nick all to herself . adam : yeah , well , from where i stand , they deserve each other . what the hell kind of a sick human being does this to their own wife ? sage : he 's doing this because he loves me and he 's protecting me . please . adam : he 's got a funny way of showing it . sage : hey . i 'm -- i 'm really touched that you 're so outraged at this . okay ? thank you . adam : you got my support , all right ? me and chelsea both -- 1,000 % . sage : thank you . adam : you 're welcome . sage : and i promise you , once this is over , three days , they 're gon na come in . they 're gon na tell me that i 'm not crazy . i 'll be vindicated . she 'll be discredited to nick . this whole nightmare will be over . and that 's all that i 'm holding on to at this point . adam : i hope you 're right . and if you need anything -- anything at all -- call , all right ? sage : i 'll be all right . you can go . thank you . adam : anything at all . chelsea : is she okay ? adam : well , hell , no , she 's not okay , and as far as i 'm concerned , this is all nick 's fault . nick : no disrespect , sandy , but you 're a doctor , you know ? you 're not a patient . dr. anderson : you do n't think i do n't know what it feels like to lose something that i wanted more than anything , to have all of my hopes and dreams smashed in an instant ? well , i do . i know all about the frustration , the -- the anger , and the -- and the disappointment . nick : what happened to you ? dr. anderson : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm sure it 's been a difficult couple of days . um , i 'm due back at fairview . i 'll -- i 'll be in touch . nick : and next time , you 're gon na tell me all about it . [ next_on ] victor : you convey one message to billy boy -- he 's not part of this deal . phyllis : i tell you , it is gon na be spectacular . we deserve this . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : you have second thoughts , do n't you ? billy : [ sighs ]

what lucky necklace ? kyle : mm , you wear it whenever you have an important meeting . summer : [ giggles ] okay . fine . but it obviously worked so you should be thanking me . kyle : oh . thank you , summer . summer : all right , we should celebrate . abby : hey , there . are you here for dinner ? we have some great specials tonight . mariah : he has become quite the regular . abby : well , can you blame him ? the food is delicious . mariah : it is , but something tells me that he 's not here for the spinach empanadas , is he ? abby : can i get you an appetizer ? on the house . mariah : suddenly , i 'm not hungry . abby : okay , mariah ... whatever you 're thinking about doing ... don't . billy : [ clears throat ] amanda : you look like you could use this . billy : [ exhales sharply ] amanda : let me guess -- you talked to victoria . additional sponsorship nick : i thought i might be interrupting a cozy night at home with billy and the kids . victoria : oh ! no , billy 's out , and hannah 's upstairs with the kids . it 's just me and a stack of financial paperwork . would you like a drink ? nick : no , i 'm good . thanks . so you 're not working too hard , then ? victoria : [ chuckles ] uh , no . no such thing . i ca n't drop the ball . especially with newman 's 50th anniversary coming up . nick : actually , that 's why i came by to talk to you , about the big shindig . victoria : wait a minute . you are gon na help me plan dad 's celebration ? nick : maybe . depends on what we 're talking about here . i mean , we 're not throwing a parade in his honor , are we ? victoria : oh , please , do n't float that idea . i 'm sure he 'd absolutely love it . nick : oh , i wo n't say a word . victoria : mom 's handling all of the arrangements . well , mom and a small army , but my focus is getting the next 50 years of newman off to a good start . nick : all right , so no pressure , then . victoria : no , i 'm fine with it . you know , i wanted this job . i like the challenge . nick : well , i just want to tell you how proud i am of you , especially because i know what it took for you to get to this place . victoria : thank you . nick : but i just want to make sure you 're not making the same mistakes as dad . victoria : well , which would those be ? you 're gon na have to narrow it down a little . nick : you know , how the company became his obsession , and the toll it took on him and the rest of us . i mean ... vick , that damn company became his entire identity . victoria : i 'm not gon na let that happen , nick . nick : well , just speaking from experience , i know what it 's like . you get caught up in the dogfight , and you forget what 's really important , like , you know , the people you love . victoria : are you okay ? you 're talking about chelsea right now ? nick : [ sighs , chuckles ] maybe , i do n't know . and i 'm not saying that 's what you 're doing , all right ? i just know how hard you and billy worked to get things in a good place . i 'm not wrong about that , am i ? billy : yes , i talked to victoria , and it did n't go so well . i tried to tell her the truth and lay it out for her . i ended up more frustrated than i was before . and i realized that the woman i 'm supposed to be able to share everything with ca n't hear me . amanda : maybe she just did n't react the way that you wanted . billy : well , either way , we 're at an impasse , and i ca n't keep doing what i 'm doing . i 'm starting to turn into someone that i do n't want to be -- angry and resentful -- and i 'm taking it out on her , and that 's not fair . and the one thing i do know is that i can not put her through the wringer again . amanda : what exactly did she say ? billy : she said i need help , which is her go - to phrase , which is her solution for everything . which is exactly what i thought she was going to say , which is exactly why i was hesitant to talk to her in the first place . amanda : i 'm sorry , billy . billy : [ scoffs ] i just do n't understand why it 's so hard to talk to the woman that i love and so easy to talk to you . amanda : i am not sure that that 's fair to victoria . billy : no , you 're probably right . i mean , i was so confident that i was going to be able to find the words to get through to her , or even hopeful that she would instinctively just understand me . amanda : you know that 's usually not the way that it works . billy : no , i know . and ... you know , victoria and i , we 've -- we 've hit rough patches like this before . most of the time , it 's because i blew it up , but i was really trying to do things different to prevent that from happening . i mean , all i asked was that she 'd take my word for it , that , you know , she had faith that i 'm okay . she ca n't do that . she -- or she wo n't do that . i do n't know . i do n't know . you have any advice ? amanda : how much of this is my fault ? theo : i know you have to work , and i should probably get a life . lola : you have a life , theo , a really good one . you work at jabot . you just found out that you 're a part of an incredible family , and you get to spend your free time in the best restaurant in town . theo : well , when you put it that way , it does some pretty good . lola : you know , in fact , i think you 're in the running for customer of the year so congratulations . theo : right . i 'm a customer . lola : of the year . maybe . theo : so i , uh , overstepped with the friend thing ? lola : wow , theo . quit fishing . theo : what , you 're not biting ? lola : fine . i 'll say it . you and i are friends . any comments doug ? mariah : i wonder what they 're talking about . abby : i do n't know . but , mariah , i really hope that you 're not planning on making a scene because that would not be good for anyone . mariah : you 're right . i 'm sorry . and i did n't come here to do that . i came here to convince you to go out with me after work . abby : out where ? mariah : out , out . to a club . dancing . you know , remember that thing ? abby : [ chuckles ] it 's been a while . mariah : okay , come on , it 'll be fun . you know , a little bit of this , a little bit of that . abby : oh ! okay , okay . mariah : yeah . abby : can i ask what inspired this idea ? mariah : well , i 've been holed up at home a lot lately , and when tessa calls on the road and she 's having a blast , i do n't want to be like , `` i went to work , and then i came home , and then i held your pillow to my face because it smelled like you . `` abby : aww ! mariah : no ! no ! see , that 's the thing . i do n't want to be the `` aww `` person . i want to be the fun `` whoot , whoot ! `` person . we 're still those people , right ? abby : wait , this has suddenly become a `` we `` situation ? mariah : i do n't know , has it ? abby : okay , fine . you have convinced me . mariah : yes ! yay ! this is gon na be great ! i even heard about this new bar down in the warehouse district , you know ? abby : hmm . mariah : supposed to have great music . abby : i do like to keep up with new places in town , and maybe i can surprise chance on our next date . mariah : oh , i 'm -- i 'm not sure this would be chance 's type of place . abby : why not ? mariah : mm . it 's mostly women . abby : well , chance loves women . trust me . mariah : yeah . yeah . and , uh , these women would like chance , too , as a friend . abby : got it . mariah : [ clicks tongue ] yeah . so it seems like things are going well between the two of you . abby : yeah , they are , and , um , well , things recently got more interesting . mariah : whoa . now you 've got my attention . kyle : `` dad , we closed the deal in the room . they loved our plan to integrate their line into jabot 's inventory ... `` summer : um ... ooh ! and they ate up our marketing plan . kyle : uh ... `` we will fill you in on the rest of the details when we get back . `` summer : perfect . kyle : and send ! boom ! now let 's celebrate with some food and drinks . summer : hi , um , i would like to place an order for two mushroom burgers , please . kyle : ooh ! mmm . summer : yeah , okay , uh , no onions and swiss with one of them , and lettuce , tomatoes , and pickles on the other . kyle : oh ! you want an extra side of pickles . summer : and an extra side of pickles , please . okay , great . thanks . summer : uh , i know what i like , thank you very much . kyle : well , i 'm just making sure . summer : uh - huh . kyle : come on . here . here 's to closing the deal . summer : here 's to us . kyle : hmm ! summer : [ sighs ] so , have you , uh , texted lola to tell her about our stellar acquisition ? kyle : [ exhales sharply ] she 's , uh , in the middle of the dinner rush right now , so i 'll do it later . summer : yeah , no , it 's probably better that we enjoy our quiet anonymity right now since after tomorrow 's press release comes out announcing our deal , i mean , we 're just gon na be flooded with so much praise and love from our colleagues . kyle : oh , that sounds a little hollow . summer : a little bit , but it 's enough to keep me warm at night , you know ? kyle : mm ! summer : yeah . kyle : so i gather it 's , uh , over , over with theo . summer : yeah . yeah . we are just friends . with no benefits . it 's just easier , simpler that way . makes for an easier working relationship , you know ? kyle : yeah . that was probably a good decision on your part . summer : wow , that was extremely restrained , so thank you . kyle : no , i just think you deserve to be with someone as cool as you are . summer : mm - hmm . well , i 'm not looking for anybody to complete me right now . kyle : mm - hmm . summer : even though i know that 's not how it works for one ... but , i do n't know , i -- i think i 'm pretty complete . i like my life . i 'm really happy . kyle : that 's great . summer : yeah , it is . are you -- are you happy ? theo : thank you for confirming that i 'm not crazy . lola : i confirmed that we 're friends . i did n't confirm or deny whether you 're crazy . theo : well , i 'm glad i 'm not crazy about this particular thing because your friendship means a lot to me . i feel like i can be myself with you in a way that i ca n't be with other people , tell you things i would n't say to anybody else . lola : yeah , i understand . theo : telling someone how i really feel does n't always come natural to me , but it does for you . lola : you know what , theo , you 're not my only customer so i better get back to the kitchen . mariah : we need to talk . what the hell do you think you 're doing ? oh , oh , oh , ozempic ® ! theo : right now , all i 'm after is a quiet dinner . mariah : really ? because from where i 'm standing , it looks like you 're blatantly hitting on kyle 's wife . theo : you should get your eyes checked . mariah : do you have a death wish ? theo : kyle does n't scare me , and i have n't done anything more than to be friendly to the chef of this fine establishment . mariah : nice try . theo : why are you getting all mama bear over lola ? you know she can take care of herself . mariah : oh , i know she can . i 'm just letting you know that i have her back , and kyle 's . theo : noted . now , surely you have more important things to do than this . maybe you should direct all this extra energy in your personal life . mariah : my personal life is none of your business . theo : i think it 's about to become everyone 's business , right ? i heard tessa went on the road with tanner watts . holding on to a girlfriend that 's about to become a star is no easy feat . good luck . i mean that sincerely . mariah : i 'm warning you , if you cause trouble for lola and kyle , i will cause trouble for you . theo : got it . can i get back to my dinner now ? abby : feel better now ? mariah : i do n't know , but i had to get that off my chest . being part of a couple is difficult enough without someone from the outside interfering . nick : is something going on with you and billy ? victoria : no . i mean , you know that he had a rough time when adam first came back . nick : yeah , everyone did . nobody had more reason to be upset than billy . victoria : well , it was harder on him than anyone knew . nick : yeah , i know it stirred up a bunch of feelings inside for him , but i thought he was seeing somebody to help him with that . victoria : yeah , he was . he was . i mean , at least i thought he was , but ... there 's a part of billy ... nick : that will never forgive adam . victoria : that will never be content . billy wants me to accept that there 's a part of him that will always be restless and full of contradictions and that i should accept that , just like i accept all the contradictions in dad . nick : whoa . vick ... hold on . victoria : i 'm sorry . nick : it 's okay . whatever it is , it 's gon na be all right . billy : why would you think any of this is your fault ? amanda : i assume that during in your conversation with victoria , you mentioned that you were talking to someone else , and you told her about me . billy : yes , we did , but it was not the focus of the conversation , amanda . amanda : are these some of the things that you 've been talking to your therapist about ? billy : yeah , except dr . clay is ... you know , she 's a stranger . she 's not a friend . and we 're sitting here , and i 'm & not on a therapist 's couch , and i do n't feel ashamed or resentful , and that has really been good for me , okay ? you 've really helped me get perspective . i guess what i 'm trying to say is , no , you are not the problem . amanda : i know that that 's what you 're trying to say , but i do n't think that you 're right . if victoria thinks that you are making excuses about turning to another woman , then that is a problem . billy : look . cologuard : colon cancer screening for people `` the young and the restless `` will continue . billy : okay , you are not another woman . okay ? we 're not having an affair . amanda : there are all kinds of infidelities , billy . billy : i understand that , but we have a friendship , right ? i mean , we 're allowed to we 're allowed to be friends . we 're talking . we 're doing it in public . amanda : yeah , you keep saying that we 're friends , but you 're not acting like it . i have listened to your rationalizations about why , when we ran into sharon , you acted like it was the first time that we sat down together . billy : that 's because it was easier than explaining . amanda : yeah , it was easier than the truth . billy , i ... i do n't think that i can be the one that you talk to anymore . billy : amanda . do n't do that . do n't -- amanda : no , no . even -- even if you 're not technically married to victoria , billy , you live together . you have kids together . i feel like i am crossing a line in someone 's marriage . i ca n't do that . okay ? i ca n't do that to you , i ca n't do that to victoria , and i 'm -- i 'm not gon na do that to myself . billy : okay , well , then let me ask you a question . why -- why now ? why all of a sudden a change of heart ? kyle : why are you asking if i 'm happy ? summer : because you 're my friend , and your happiness is really important to me . kyle : i do n't think that 's a conversation we should be having . summer : well , why not ? i mean , i think i know you better than practically anybody kyle : yeah , except my wife . summer : okay , you still have n't answer the question . kyle : yes . of course i 'm happy . i have everything i could ever want . summer : yeah , it sure seems that way from the outside . i mean , you and lola -- you guys are a pretty romantic love story -- the hardworking chef finally meets her prince . it just all happened a little quick , i think . kyle : it did n't happen that quick . okay . we packed a lot in a short amount of time . summer : yeah . i know . i was there for all of it . i saw everything . i saw -- you guys fought and struggled in the beginning , and you broke up and got back together , and ... then when lola had her accident , you went right back to being the hero and rescuing her and sweeping her off her feet with the amazing fairy tale wedding . but then after that , that 's when your real life finally began , and that 's when you had to start really figuring out who the two of you are and what you really want . kyle : we know what we want . summer : i hope you do . i mean , i hope that this marriage is everything that you hoped it would be . kyle : it is . only problem is your ex - boyfriend . summer : [ scoffs ] kyle , i do n't understand why theo is such a problem for you . really . think about it . you are the one with the big job , you 're the one with the girl . you live happily ever after . so why does theo get under your skin so much ? really , why does it bug you when he hangs out with lola ? i do n't know , unless maybe theo 's just a symptom of a bigger problem between the two of you . abby : someone can only interfere in a couple 's relationship if one of the two people involved allows them to . mariah : that 's true . abby : that 's why , in my case , i have decided to let the chips fall where they may . mariah : wait . what are you talking about ? you and chance ? oh , please . please , tell me everything . abby : well , we 've been seeing each other . we had a great date the other night , but it has come to my attention that phyllis is also interested in him . mariah : oh , my god . how did you find that out ? abby : because she came right out and said it . mariah : huh . that is , um , oddly refreshing . at least she 's not scheming behind your back . abby : oh , no . no , she is doing that , too . i think she is the one that pulled the fire alarm at the grand phoenix to try and sabotage our date . mariah : oh , boy . abby : mm . mariah : well , at least you know what you 're up against , and i really hope that you warned chance about her . abby : quite the opposite , actually . he finds her intriguing and entertaining , so ... i told him to go for it . mariah : that 's very counterintuitive and oddly mature . mariah : well , he 's a grown man . he can find out who phyllis is for himself . mariah : i see . you 're letting the snake eat itself . that 's -- that 's genius . it really is . abby : you know , i 'm at ease with it all , you know ? i like him , but , you know , chance and i , we are not serious . i 'm not going home and smelling his pillow , or anything . mariah : you bitch . abby : [ chuckles ] mariah : ugh ! abby : i 'm kidding . the love that you and tessa share , i think it 's amazing . people would die to have what you two have . theo : what is this ? my fave ? lola : an extra order came in , and i figured it should n't go to waste . theo : well , speaking as your best customer ... lola : oh , the final tally on that has not come out yet . theo : well , in any case , thank you . i wonder how that meeting went with that boutique cosmetic company . lola : huh ? theo : kyle and summer 's trips san francisco . it should be wrapped by now . you have n't heard from him ? lola : no , not yet . theo : oh i 'm sure that killed it . they 're probably out celebrating . oh , not just kyle and summer , but ... all of them . lola : yeah . probably . theo : so you 're cool with them going to california together ? i mean , you have nothing to worry about . kyle made it very clear how much he loves you . lola : theo , i know how much kyle loves me . although , we did have a little bit of a fight before he left , and i 'm not too crazy about how we left things . theo : wait , about what ? lola : summer has never stopped caring about kyle . there 's nothing that kyle and i can do about that . we ca n't change how she feels . theo : so it does n't bother you that she 's pining over him ? theo : well , it does n't really matter anyways because i trust kyle . theo : and he trust you . lola : yes . what , you do n't believe me ? theo : well , i know i 've been causing a lot of tension between you two . i do have this sore jaw to prove it . but i did n't mean for that to happen , and ... i 'm sorry . for real . well , it was n't entirely your fault . theo : well , it probably was . lola : [ chuckles ] look , this is n't my first rodeo ... nick : [ sighs ] is billy gambling again ? victoria : no . no , i mean , at least he says he 's not . nick : you do n't believe him ? victoria : i do n't know what to believe anymore . i know that billy is struggling . i mean , i see the signs . i know those signs all too well , but ... i ca n't do what i 've done in the past and chase him down and confront him because ... it 'll just make me crazy and it 'll make him pull away . nick : so what are you gon na do ? victoria : i do n't know . it 's hard to be rational when someone 's addiction is talking victoria : and letting things slide , that does n't help things , either . nick : well , we both know what needs to happen . billy has to want to get help . victoria : i know that . and if he refuses , i know there 's gon na be a point when i 'm going to have to walk away . nick : [ sighs ] vick , you have to do what 's best for yourself . do not let him drag you down with him . victoria : i do n't think we 're quite there yet , but ... nick : we 're gon na figure it out . i love you . victoria : [ sighs ] i love you . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm supposed to be somewhere right now but i 'll cancel it if you want . victoria : oh , no , do n't do that , i 'm fine . i 'm -- i 'm fine . i just have some work to do , anyway , so ... [ sniffles ] nick : all right . victoria : okay . nick : call me if you need me . victoria : i will . amanda : i just realize that this -- whatever it is that we 're doing ... it 's not healthy . billy : this is the healthiest thing that i have in my life at this point . amanda : it 's not real . billy : maybe it 's not . maybe it 's an oasis . amanda : it was nice , billy . in theory . it 's not sustainable . billy : why not ? & amanda : because that 's not the way that life works . there is no peace . there 's no running away from things that are chasing us . sooner or later , we have to face them . billy : wait . abby : it 's been hard being away from each other , with tessa on the road ? mariah : yeah . really , really hard . and it 's not just all the annoying and adorable things that she does . it 's the fact that she 's on the road with her ex . abby : what ? wait , tessa and tanner watts used to be a couple ? theo : mm - hmm . they were only together a few months , and it was a long time ago . tessa reassures me that there are no lingering feelings , and i believe her . abby : yeah , but it 's only human to feel a little bit nervous about the situation . mariah : i wish i could be as easygoing as you are about phyllis ... abby : [ sighs ] mariah : but i 'm so torn . part of me wants to hate tanner for being this super- rich , talented , gorgeous rock star who swooped in and took tessa away from me . but part of me is really grateful that he 's giving her such a huge career- making break . he seems like a decent person . he 's been really good to her so i want to hate him , but i ca n't hate him , and i hate that i ca n't hate him . does that make any sense at all ? abby : it makes perfect sense . mariah : i still do n't like what 's going on over there . abby : they have a lot to talk about . i mean , kyle and theo are working together . they 're cousins now . mariah : still boggles the mind . abby : and kyle and summer are on a business trip in san francisco . mariah : really ? and they left theo to creep on lola . abby : mariah , you have made your feelings very clear to him . mariah : well , apparently he 's not listening . abby : kyle and lola will work it out . and if anyone can negotiate a truce between kyle and theo , it is her . mariah : you 're right . you 're right . i 'm gon na mind my own business . abby : good . you know , you really do have too much time on your hands . mariah : ah ! ha , ha , ha . but you 're going to save me from being pathetic by coming and dancing the night away with me , right ? abby : okay . let me go put my manager in charge . mariah : yes ! theo : my relationship with kyle is complicated . you know , when we 're living in new york , we were really tight , you know ? sometimes , i almost felt like we & were brothers , which is weird to say now that i know that we 're actually related , but ... even back then , part of me resented him . the way he moved through the world like he owned it , which he did , or at least that 's the way he was treated , you know , because of his family name and his money .... people sucking up , eager to please . i guess when the world treats you that way long enough , that 's how you start to see yourself -- entitled , destined . he does n't even know he 's like that because , for him , that 's the way it 's always been . kyle grew up not knowing what it 's like to see something and be told you ca n't have it . it 's off limits , out of reach . he does n't know that feeling , but i do . summer : the reason you get so worked up about theo has less to do with him and more to do with you and lola . kyle : nope . nope , i 'm pretty sure it 's him . summer : well , i 'm pretty sure that you just use him as a way to inject some passion into your relationship with lola . he gives you something to fight for , fight against . i mean , without theo , there would be no drama . kyle : okay . you 're way off - base . summer : kyle , i 'm only saying these things because i care about you , like i always have since we were kids . kyle , i have watched you grow into this incredible person that you are , and i have watched you work so hard to come into your own . so i think that i know who you are . i know who you are , and i know who you 're not . and , honestly , it 's just been really hard watching you change yourself for lola . kyle : i 'm still the same person . summer : i guess all i 'm trying to say is you 've always been special to me , even if i 've been too stubborn to admit it . you know that picture that i gave you for your birthday , the way that you 're smiling at me ? that 's how i see you -- just happy . wide open . kyle ... i just want you to be happy again . kyle : look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . summer : why are you sorry ? kyle : i -- i -- i know where this came from . our history , our connection . summer : yeah , well , it 's not just history . i mean , we still have a connection . kyle : yeah , but you misunderstood . whatever issues lola and i are having , we 're gon na work through them . and you and i ... summer : ... are friends . kyle : i -- i hope so because you mean so much to me . summer : god , i feel so stupid . kyle : no . [ clears throat ] it 's -- it 's fine . it 's fine . we 're fine . summer : yeah . so we 're just gon na forget that this happened ? kyle : it 's already forgotten . [ sighs ] lola : kyle has a good heart . theo : i agree . that 's why i love him and resent him . you know , when he first invited me to gc , i thought everything would be cool . we had grown up and both made our own way , but there was still this unspoken thing , this attitude , like i was a visitor in his world , and i would never fully have what he had . lola : kyle does n't mean to make you feel this way . that 's not the kyle i know . theo : all right , maybe i am reading too much into this stuff . i mean , we 're all finding a way to make it work , right ? even when things get a little bumpy at times . lola : it 's complicated , but if we keep trying to figure it out , i think it 'll work . theo : well , i mean , look at kyle and summer . they 're working together just fine . they 'll be home tomorrow with a big new deal under their belt , and begin able to talk with you like this gives me hope . lola : um ... i 'm sorry , i need to get back to work . theo : right . hey , thanks again for the meal . lola : you 're welcome . victoria : you know what , hannah , i changed my mind . i 'm not gon na go out . i have some things to take care of here . billy : thank you for just listening to me even when i was a rambling mess trying to work it all out . amanda : i 'm sorry that i could n't do more to help you billy : no . good luck ... with everything . billy : yeah . you , too .

theo told lola that he did n't usually feel comfortable showing people how he felt , but he felt comfortable with her . lola looked uncomfortable and made up an excuse to walk way . mariah confronted theo and accused him of hitting on lola . theo suggested mariah worry about her own personal life , because it was hard to hold onto a girlfriend when their career took off . mariah wanted to do something fun , so she asked abby to go dancing with her . abby agreed . abby revealed that chance found phyllis intriguing , so abby told him to go for it . mariah admitted it was hard having tessa go on tour with her ex . theo talked with lola and kept making references to summer and kyle being in san francisco together . lola knew summer cared about kyle , but lola trusted kyle . theo felt that kyle had made him feel like an outsider , due to his less than privileged upbringing . lola was sure kyle did n't do that on purpose , and she thought that they could all work through this .

[ scene_break ] brad : i know i 'm probably the last person you wan na see right now . but i 've spent the last few days doing a lot of soul - searching . and i imagine you 've been doing the same . sharon : yeah . that 's what i came here for . brad : i 've made a lot of , um ... mistakes in my life . i have ... done a few things that i 'm not very proud of . but falling in love with you was not one of them . and i do love you , sharon . more than any woman i 've ever known . sharon : brad ... brad : sharon , please . i would n't have intruded on your solitude if expressing this to you was no extraordinarily important to me . we promised each other that no matter what , we would always be friends . and i 'm counting on that friendship right now . i am counting on you keeping an open mind . i know how upset you are with me and i deserve it . i do . i should n't have given phyllis the time of day . but , sharon , my judgment was clouded by the hope that you were available again . and i - i know there 's a right way and a wrong way to go about something , and conspiring with phyllis behind your back ... was dead wrong . sharon : i 'm glad you realize that . brad : i do realize it . of course , i do . and that 's one of the reasons i 'm here today , to ask for your forgiveness . but you have to know that my motives were pure . i want a life with you . i want to give you anything and everything that you could ever want or need . i want to care for you and i want to protect you . i wan na spend every day making you happy . that 's what i came here to say . tell me what i have to do for you to give me that chance . because i 'll do anything , sharon . anything you ask .

[ scene_break ] ( knock on door ) victor : well ! this is a nice surprise . ashley : hi . i come bearing gifts . macadamia nuts , still warm , from the that little candy shop on the corner . victor : oh , really ? whoa . ashley : smells good , does n't it ? victor : my surprise got even nicer . ashley : i knew you were gon na be stuck here waiting for that overseas conference call , so ... victor : i got two now , one from kuala lumpur and the other from bangkok . it 's gon na take a while . ashley : see , you do deserve a treat , do n't you ? victor : i love this . ashley : i know . let me smell . victor : is n't that great ? ashley : mm - hmm . victor : did you get in contact with the photographer to take a picture of the three of us ? ashley : actually , daniel wants to do it . and i feel great about that . i want to give him the business . how do you feel ? victor : that 's fine . ashley : okay , good . victor : cool . ashley : well , then i will contact him , and i 'll see you whenever i see you . victor : yeah . uh , by the way , um ... something i have to discuss with you concerning business , involving brad carlton . ashley : oh ? victor : there 's something you may not like to hear .

[ scene_break ] michael : maybe i 'm just not cut out to raise a teenager . lauren : what eden needs is a strong , loving father figure , who knows how to set boundaries . and , honey , you 're written all over that . i do n't even know why you 'd hesitate . michael : well , i 'm more than happy to make things permanent , you know , be her guardian until she turns 18 . my concern is eden . i mean , due to our less than adequate father , she has no place else to live . she might hate it here , not dare say anything out of fear she 'll be sent to live with strangers . lauren : do you really think that 's how she feels ? michael : honestly ? i have no idea . i wish i knew what she was thinking . [ scene_break ] brad : say something . sharon : well , um ... i was furious . i mean , i could n't believe that you stooped to phyllis ' level , but -- but ... thank you for the apology . and i can see that you would never do anything like that again . brad : i would never do anything to hurt you . i know it 's gon na take a lot for us to get back to where we were . but if you just give me that chance , sharon ... sharon : brad , uh ... no . you know , i just -- i do n't want to get involved in another relationship hoping that it will work out , because i did that with jack and it blew up in my face . brad : i 'm not jack . sharon : i know . i know . you 're not . but ... i just ... i really care about you , as a friend . but i ... i do n't ... love you the way that you love me . the only person that i think that i 've ever felt that way about ... is nick . sharon : nick really is the love of my life . and i think ... i 've known that since i was a teenager . brad : when he betrayed you with phyllis after cassie died , did you feel that way then ? sharon : well , i do n't think that we would 've divorced if phyllis had n't gotten pregnant . and even after she told him that the baby was his , he still wanted his marriage . brad : and you turned him down . why ? sharon : because i did n't want him to feel obligated to stay with me . brad : because you knew it was over . and phyllis was n't the first time that nick cheated . your best friend grace ? sharon : yeah , i remember . brad : if i were ever lucky enough to call you my wife , i would never break our commitment . i could n't even imagine thinking about another woman . because you are everything to me , sharon . you 're perfect and beautiful in every way . sharon : well , that 's , um ... ironic . because jack just said the same thing to me recently . he said , `` sharon , you are the perfect woman . `` and , um ... you know , i - i really do believe that jack loved me , despite his flaws . and i loved him , too , but just not in that same way . and i think that if jack had been a different person , i - i could 've been content to stay with him . but that 's not the same thing as being happy . brad : no , it 's not . sharon : i just need more than security . you know , i need -- i need the passion . brad : sharon ... we had that passion and so much more . sharon : i know , but i 'm talking about just ... the passion that i had and the connection that i had with nick , that came from our history . i just ... he 's the only person that i 've ever had that with . brad : do you really think he 's going to leave his wife for you ? sharon : brad , i 'm not ... i 'm not even thinking like that . you know , i mean , with the way that everybody has manipulated me , i would never even go down that road . i just wan na be honest with you . and i wan na be honest with myself . i mean , here i am , i 'm going through my second divorce . i feel like a complete loser . i need to take some time to heal and ... then figure out which direction i 'm gon na go in my future . brad : does n't sound like that 's a future that 's going to include me . sharon : i 'm sorry . brad : so am i , sharon . so am i .

[ scene_break ] victor : sorry to keep you waiting , my darling . ashley : no , it 's okay . what 's going on with brad ? why am i not going to like it ? victor : ( sighs ) i asked him to resign from the board of directors . even offered him a settlement if he decided to go quietly . ashley : i assume he turned you down . victor : mm - hmm . you assume correctly . ashley : why do you want brad out ? victor : when he left for jabot , he broke into our computer and stole some company secrets and used them against us . so ... i 'm gon na have to charge him with corporate espionage , unless he agrees to go quietly . ashley : oh , boy . so you must have proof ? victor : yeah . and i did n't want you to hear this from someone else , okay ? ashley : i appreciate that . look ... victor : sorry to be the bearer of bad news . ashley : i know . and i know you have to address this . but have you thought about what going public is gon na do to abby ?

[ scene_break ] eden : you realize ... noah : hmm ? eden : this is n't going any further . noah : i know . eden : not because i 'm not into you , but because there 's no way i 'm taking off my clothes in the freezing cold . noah : ah . well , we came here to skate . eden : so let 's skate . um , if we move around , maybe it 'll warm us up . noah : there 's still plenty of time before we need to hike back to the bowling alley . you ready for your lesson ? eden : yep .

[ scene_break ] chelsea : even if i wanted to save adam from himself , i could n't . sharon : if you really love him , you 'll keep trying . chelsea : it 's not my love that adam needs . it 's victor 's . and even though he knows deep down he 'll probably never get it , he ca n't help himself from craving it . so , do you see ? no matter what i do , i will never be able to fill that void . sharon : well , i 'm sorry you 're hurting , but , you know , if you give up now , it could be worse . you will always wonder if things might have been different if you 'd just tried a little harder . i know because that happened to me . and that kind of regret can live with you for the rest of your life . chelsea : i 'm not convinced that love actually exists . i think it 's just a delusion two people create while they 're together . sharon : love exists . it 's just that sometimes people give up too easily when things get tough . chelsea : i ca n't make adam love me . sharon : but if you give up now , you know you 'll lose any chance . chelsea : i 've already lost , sharon ... the second you let adam be your savior . he felt like he owed you for all of the things he had done to you in the past . this was his way of paying for his sins . and in the process , what do you know , those old sparks came back . sharon : yeah . you 're right . i should n't have let adam help me . i should have been stronger . chelsea : and now that 's what i 'm gon na be . strong . i 'm not gon na make the same mistakes you did .

[ sighs ] you do n't grit your teeth , and you do n't try to white- knuckle your way through situations . jack : that obvious , huh ? nikki : it 's a matter of learning what 's important . changing how you react to things , knowing that you 're not alone , that it 's okay to reach out to other people . and that 's not a weakness , jack . jack : no , i 've actually learned that lesson . nikki : well , from one addict to another , if you ever feel the danger that you 're about to use , i want you to call me immediately , day or night . jack : i can not tell you how much that means to me . nikki : well , i 'm very proud of you , walking away from newman . that was the right thing to do . jack : i took over the company for the wrong reasons , and i paid a price . nikki : and i think john would be proud of you , too . jack : it 's crystal clear to me now i was headed down a path that could have killed me . it just was n't worth it . nikki : i wish victor would make that realization . the way he 's going after adam ... it scares me . i 'm just afraid how this might end . jack : hey .

[ clears throat ] nick : no ? but you were having drinks with billy and chelsea last night . sage : we were having dinner here , and chelsea and billy were sitting there . we saw them , and they asked us to join them . nick : so , you were on a date ? sage : [ chuckles nervously ] not exactly . nick : so , not a date , and he 's not your boyfriend ? [ chuckles ] what exactly is gabriel to you ? sage : my husband . nick : okay . you are married to gabe ? sage : it 's not what you think . nick : if you know what i 'm thinking , you 're way ahead of me . sage : we are n't in love -- with each other . nick : so , is it like a green - card kind of thing ? sage : no , uh , but it 's , um , a marriage of convenience . nick : hmm . loveless marriages tend to strike me as being inconvenient . sage : constance willed her estate to gabriel with the provision that he be married in order to receive his inheritance . nick : okay . so , the old lady felt like gabe needed a stable influence in his life or he would blow through that money real quick . sage : constance loved gabriel , but she knew that he was , you know , reckless . nick : so , to put her mind at ease and to help your friend gabe out , you agreed to marry him ? sage : yeah . yes . nick : why keep that a secret ? sage : so we can both be free . nick : free to do what ? sage : have a relationship with someone we really care about . phyllis : [ gasps ] paul ! paul : i did n't mean to startle you . phyllis : i did n't even hear you . how 'd you get in ?

adam : sage is the woman i told you about . she helped me after the accident . jack : oh , helped you steal another man 's life . adam : she arranged my surgeries , nursed me back to health . she convinced constance that i was her grandson , and then she taught me everything i needed to know about being gabriel . jack : you left out the fact that you 're dating . adam : it 's a ruse to convince chelsea i 'm not some crazy , sick stalker . jack : you really think that 's gon na work ? adam : it 's already working . we had drinks with billy and chelsea last night . jack : oh , yeah . two couples just hanging out ? adam : yeah , yeah . by the end of the evening , they both felt much more comfortable around me . of course , it also helped that billy and i were able to bond over our mutual hatred of my father . jack : how convenient that gabriel also despises victor . adam : sometimes things just fall into your lap . jack : you 're playing a dangerous game , adam . adam : it 's gabriel , and it 's a game that i 'm winning . i 've already put chelsea at ease . now all i have to do is get her to fall in love with me . jack : you 're so sure you can make that happen ? adam : yeah . why would n't i be ? it happened before . it 'll happen again . jack : because she 's in love with my brother now . adam : she thinks she 's in love with your brother . when he goes back to victoria -- which he will , by the way , and we both know that -- she 'll realize that i 'm the man for her . ashley : i know that you were behind that phony raid in the lab at jabot , which means that you have at least one e.s.b . agent in your pocket . now , where is it ? victor : where 's what ? ashley : the sample of the formula that i 've been working on for over a year , and do n't tell me that you do n't have it . victor : now , did n't we go over this last time you were here ? ashley : you were playing me . victor : i was n't playing you . i was being very honest with you . i told you that i was very curious about the compound you were using to create your exotic fragrance . but i was n't very successful in finding out . ashley : so you stole it ! corporate espionage , patent infringement -- those are very serious offenses , victor . victor : i would be insulted if this were n't as absurd as it is . ashley : you know damn well that i was on the verge of creating something revolutionary . you know it damn well . victor : and , for your information , we here at newman - chancellor were developing an organic compound without the endangered tree root from the amazon region , and we were successful . here it is . ashley : that 's my fragrance . victor : well ... but this one ... is environmentally safe and , therefore , will get approval by the government very quickly . ashley : you know damn well that i was n't using any tree root from central america . you know that . victor : oh , really ? so , you were lying to me , were n't you ? in other words , the e.s.b . agents now think that the lies you spread ... are fact . not good . ashley : give me back my sample . victor : this fragrance in here was developed at newman - chancellor . tell her , victoria . tell her . victoria : dad ... ashley : victoria ... you and i both have very strong men in our lives -- men that want us to play by their rules . for you , it 's your father . for me , it 's my brother . victor : sweetheart , jack abbott may be holding ashley back , but i 've all the confidence in you . ashley : as long as you do things his way . you know jack 's the same way . i mean , i have every right to be co - c.e.o . of jabot , but he 's not gon na give me that title -- not until i prove myself ... which i 'm determined to do , just like you 're determined to prove yourself to your father because you want the power and the authority that you deserve , just like i do . we could be just as successful as these men , victoria , without compromising our integrity . all we have to do is respect each other . please just respect me and tell me the truth . victor : victoria , this is not some support group . this is business -- family business . victoria : we have been developing a new fragrance here at newman - chancellor for a while , and we plan to release it at the relaunch of brash & sassy . ashley : you deserve each other . victoria : ashley ... ashley : you made your choice , victoria . for you , this is n't over . victor : you have a nice day . ashley : screw you . [ door slams ] victor : you did the right thing , sweetheart . victoria : did you steal this from jabot ? victor : listen to me . you asked me to find a way to save the chancellor division of newman - chancellor , okay ? if what is in this vial will prove to be as successful as i think it will , there will be an enormous influx of cash , and we can save katherine 's company . victoria : at what cost , dad ? billy : do we know who called the e.s.b . on us ? abby : well , mom seemed to have a pretty good idea , the way she tore out of here . billy : any idea who she has in her sights ? abby : mnh , no . stitch : what the hell is going on ? billy : someone anonymously tipped off the e.s.b . -- said that we were using an endangered central american tree root in our new fragrance . stitch : where the hell would they get a crazy idea like that ? oh , you guys think that i 'm the one that -- [ rattle chimes ] billy : what you got there , stitch ? stitch : it 's katie 's . i ran in to victoria in the park . i did n't realize i was still holding it until after i left newman - chancellor . okay , you got me . i steal corporate secrets and toys from babies . here . why do n't you return this to katie , since , apparently , you 're the only one who can be trusted around her mother ? abby : dad just told mom that they 've been working on an organic fragrance for months . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah . of course , they have . stitch : what did you expect him to say ? billy : well , stupid me -- i thought that maybe victoria would be a positive influence on him , but , clearly , he 's got her doing his dirty work for him . stitch : vicki does n't have anything to do with this . abby : well , mom said victoria 's backing up dad 's claims . stitch : what ? ! billy : so , in all your little strolls in the park , victoria did n't happen to mention a new fragrance they 're developing , did she ? stitch : no , but i 'm damn well gon na get some answers . abby : hmm . trouble in paradise ? [ rattle chimes ] jack : you ca n't come back after all this time and expect things to stay the same . things change . people change . adam : hmm . so , are we talking about me now , or are we talking about you and phyllis ? no , no . you 're right , though . some things do change , right > i mean , who would have ever thought that phyllis and i would have something in common ? jack : at least i can help phyllis with her new life . adam : yeah ? a phyllis that listens ? well , that 's definitely new . but you two are still together , right ? so , that has n't changed . jack : neither , apparently , has your inability to accept good advice when it 's given to you . adam : jack , i want the same thing that you want . i want a life with the woman that i love -- that 's all . jack : adam newman forfeited that right . you know what ? get to the lab . help billy with this crisis if you can . i assume the two of you can work together . adam : work together ? i 'm keeping him out of prison for trying to kill me . i 'd say that 's proof that i can cooperate . would n't you ? was it something i said ? [ sighs ] get me the lab , please . chelsea : jack , i -- oh . adam : you know , you 're really gon na have to stop stalking me . chelsea : i guess i had that coming , after accusing you of crowding me . adam : nah , look , i do n't blame you at all . i tend to come on a little strong , especially when i want something . chelsea : ah ? and what is it you 're after ? adam : well , i 'm after the same thing every guy 's after . chelsea : tickets to the super bowl ? adam : obviously , yes .

sage : mm - hmm . nick : what about you ? sage : what do you mean ? nick : well , do you do anything for yourself ? victoria : ben . what are you doing back here ? stitch : do n't try to stop me , victoria . i came to speak to your dad . victoria : whoa . hold on a second . you 're upset . just talk to me . this is -- this is my company , too . stitch : ashley told us about the new breakthrough product brash & sassy 's about to put out -- the one that you supposedly have been working on for months . victoria : no , i can explain . stitch : you have n't been working on anything . that raid on our lab was a fake . it was a setup so that newman - chancellor could steal our formula ! victoria : shh . shh . okay . let 's just go somewhere where we can talk . stitch : what is there to talk about ? your dad hijacked my future . victoria : this is business . it 's not personal . stitch : this was n't just a job for me . it was a chance to start a new life for myself , for us . that 's gone now . victoria : no . it does n't have to be gone . we could still build a life together , just like the one that you talked about in the park . stitch : yeah . the one you wanted , too ? victoria : i do . stitch : maybe you did , but you were forced to choose -- me or your father . you chose your father . paul : so , what happened to your hand ? phyllis : i cut it . paul : do you mind if i ask how ? phyllis : i lost my temper , broke a vase . very expensive tantrum . paul : [ chuckles ] so , what made you so angry ? phyllis : i could n't get people to believe me that i had nothing to do with harassing kelly andrews -- even the people closest to me . they think i just wanted to ... paul : harm her ? is that when you , uh , put the antifreeze in her tea ? phyllis : right . did you think it was gon na be that easy , paul ? paul : phyllis , i 'm just trying to figure out what happened here and why . that way i can explain to the d.a . you just were n't yourself . phyllis : well , that 's not gon na make a damn bit of difference , because the d.a . , your wife , hates me . paul : no . phyllis : yes , and i bet she 'll be very happy to pin this on me . paul : look ... she 's just trying to do her job . that 's all . phyllis : she wants me locked up . she does not care that i have already lost a year of my life . i can not spend any more time away from the people i love , okay ? paul : look , phyllis , i want to help you , but i ca n't do that when you 're not being honest with me . phyllis : [ scoffs ] i have been lied to so much since i 've been back . i do n't know who i can trust . paul : well , you can trust me , but you 're going to have to tell me the truth . you 're gon na have to tell me everything . paul : so , tell me what happened between you and kelly . phyllis : i wanted to let her know that she was n't going to get away with making me look like a jealous psychopath . paul : and did you ? phyllis : she suggested we sit down and discuss things civilly over tea . paul : and you agreed ? phyllis : reluctantly . paul : then what happened ? phyllis : then we talked -- or at least tried to . and then , at some point , kelly got up and left the table . paul : and that 's when you poisoned her tea ? jack : do n't say another word . paul : look , jack , we 're just talking . jack : really ? kind of seemed like the chief of police was trying to get a confession out of someone who did n't have an attorney present . paul : look , if she does n't talk to me , she 's going to have to -- jack : she 'll face your wife on the stand , yes , and we both know how christine feels about phyllis , but we also both know that without kelly 's testimony , without any further evidence against phyllis , you ca n't press charges . paul : we 'll see . jack . phyllis . phyllis : what is happening ? first sharon , then kelly , now christine ? it 's like they want to keep me away from you . jack : i wo n't let them . i promise . sage : i got it . i had a foot massage last week . that 's something that i did all for myself . nick : not good enough . sage : [ laughs ] nick : i 'll tell you what -- i 'm gon na get you an entire day at the spa on me . sage : you do n't have to do that . nick : well , you deserve it . sage : mm . i 'm not as selfless as you think . adam : hey . sorry to keep you waiting . mwah ! thank you for keeping my girlfriend company . i appreciate it . nick : mm - hmm . adam : whew ! nick : and just so you know , i 'm okay with the ... arrangement . adam : the arrangement ?

sage : he knows . adam : he knows what ? sage : ahh . i told him we were married . adam : you did what ? billy : well , you can tell your boss that we 'll be filing an official complaint . yeah . yeah . [ sarcastically ] you have a nice day , too . ashley : has anybody seen ben ? i have a few questions for him . billy : i 'm pretty sure we 've covered all of them . ashley : stitch swears he knows nothing about a new fragrance that victoria 's been working on . ashley : do you think he 's telling the truth ? abby : as much as i hate to say it , yes . i think he 's telling the truth . ashley : i want to believe him . billy : yeah , 'cause he 's always been such an honest guy . oh , come on . he lied to protect his mom . who 's to say he would n't do the same thing for victoria ? abby : well , who does she need protection from ? billy : only victor . look , i 'm gon na check in with legal . you guys text me if there 's anything else i need to know . ashley : okay . i tell you , if victoria 's being forced to choose between ben and her father , i actually feel sorry for ben . abby : yes , because we both know with us newmans , blood is thicker than love . victoria : i know that this looks bad , okay ? stitch : [ scoffs ] yeah . you mean your dad stealing my formula that i 've been working on for months and you backing him up that it was developed here ? yeah , that looks kind of bad . victoria : it 's just that my dad likes to bend the rules a little bit when it comes to business . that 's all . stitch : come on . everybody knows that . but i did n't expect this from you . you were just telling me how frustrated you were that your dad does n't take you seriously , and now you 're lying for him ? victoria : for you , it 's very simple , but for me , it 's really , really complicated . stitch : oh , it 's complicated for me , too ... 'cause i love you , victoria , but this -- this is n't you . you 're better than this . victoria : ben ... [ sighs ] [ door slams ] victoria : do you have any idea what you 've done ? victor : what 's the matter , sweetheart ? victoria : i just lied to the man that i love . victor : oh ? victoria : for what -- a vial of perfume ? a greater profit margin ? the chance to one - up jack ? dad , it 's not our product ! victor : you 're making what is business personal . victoria : i am sick of hearing that ! victor : okay . now let me teach you a lesson , okay ? if you want to function in the corporate world , you 'd better play by its rules . espionage is part of it , whether you like it or not ! it 's a dirty fact of business ! do you honestly think that i 've built this empire -- this damn empire -- without stepping on a few toes ? ! victoria : well , if this is how we do business , then count me out . i do n't want any part of it . billy : shocker . chelsea : my hero ! billy : well , that 's one fire out in the lab , and -- chelsea : my hero ! billy : well , there was n't an actual fire , mind you . chelsea : are you saying you did n't deserve that kiss ? billy : probably not , but i do n't want to discourage that sort of thing , so ... what are you doing here ? chelsea : i came to see jack , and i actually bumped in to gabe . billy : shocker . chelsea : he was very sweet . he was talking about sage and how much she means to him . i did n't realize how close he felt to her . billy : the closer , the better , as far as i 'm concerned . chelsea : well , i 'm not really sure she feels the same way . billy : seemed pretty chummy at dinner last night . chelsea : i thought so , too , but , um , i just saw her with nick earlier , and let 's just say she seemed even chummier with him . adam : what in the hell were you thinking , telling my brother that we were married ? sage : so , it 's okay for you to tell chelsea and billy that we 're dating but i ca n't tell nick the truth ? adam : you know exactly why i told chelsea that you were my girlfriend . sage : so she would n't think you 're a creepy stalker so you could get closer to her . adam : well , it was working . sage : not for me . adam : okay . okay . explain something to me . my brother thinking that you 're married -- how does that improve your chances with him ? sage : i told him the truth -- that i did his pal bingo a favor by marrying him so he could collect his inheritance . adam : that 's , you know , terrific . so , what happens when my sanctimonious brother goes to chelsea and tells her the truth about our marriage ? what happens then ? sage : i do n't know . maybe she 'll think that you 're a deceitful , manipulative jerk . adam : you think i do n't know what you 're doing ? you did this on purpose . you 're trying to wreck things between chelsea and me because i made it harder for you to be with nick . sage : you can think whatever you want . adam : hey , what did i tell you about crossing me , hmm ? ashley : he 's still not answering . stitch : looking for me ? ashley : yes . stitch : go ahead . ask . ashley : abby told me what you said . stitch : i had as much to lose as you did , ashley . even if i did n't , i would n't betray you -- not after you gave me a chance to start over . ashley : i know you would n't . abby : well , someone told dad the information you fed him about using endangered plants was bull . i mean , how else would he have known to use it to set up a fake bust ? ashley : you know , from the way victor was talking , it 's as if he was standing right here when i told you that the tree - root story was a lie . [ gasps ] bastard . phyllis : do you think i 'm crazy ? jack : no crazier than you 've ever been . phyllis : paul thinks i tried to kill kelly . jack : listen to me . there is no way you are going to be punished for what happened to kelly . phyllis : christine is not gon na let this go , jack . jack : you are not the guilty party . phyllis : do you believe i tried to poison kelly ? jack : whatever happened , it is not your fault . victor subjected you to experimental treatment without permission . he knew there were potential side effects , and he went ahead . if anyone is to blame here , it is victor , and he is going to pay . i will see to that . victor : sweetheart , you understand as well as i do that sometimes in business , one has to make difficult decisions . you just made one . and if ben is as close to you as you say he is , then he 'll understand . victoria : that 's great , dad . maybe he will . but i wo n't . victor : you 'll change your mind fast once the profits from this new fragrance start rolling in . victoria : you 're not listening to me . i ca n't work like this . i ca n't live like this . and i 'm not gon na allow my children to live like this , either , including katherine . victor : what are you saying ? victoria : i 'm saying if this is how things are gon na be , then she 's not gon na be a part of your life , dad . i 'll raise her as an abbott . as a matter of fact , that 's exactly how she 'll be christened . victor : you do n't mean that . victoria : i do mean that . everyone 's gon na be there tomorrow to welcome katherine rose abbott into the family , dad -- everyone but you . victor : you ca n't be serious . victoria : i am very serious . give ashley back her sample , call off the e.s.b . , or this little vial here will be the only legacy that you ever have . [ next_on ] avery : i will do anything to get this man 's confession on tape and out of my life . kevin : a real creeper , huh ? who is he ? avery : my ex - husband . victoria : dad , what are you doing here ? victor : i came for my granddaughter 's christening . any objections ?

billy : [ sighs ] victoria : i know . billy : i did n't say anything . victoria : you 're ready to claw your way out of here . billy : now that you mention it , it would be nice to know what the holdup is . victoria : i 'll find out for you . absolutely . i just have a work e - mail . give me two minutes . billy : yeah . me , too . phyllis : i am assuming that you have heard about this mysterious hacker with the billion - dollar idea . she works for me . correction -- she works for us . victoria : why does it seem like there 's someplace else you need to be ? victor : so , now kindly explain that glitch in the program to me . natalie : actually , it pops up in a couple different places , but that 's gon na happen , right , because i went kind of old - school with the arrays , so we 're dealing with waterfall methodology rather than agile . so , really , it 's not a big surprise that i doubled up on the algorithms . you know what i mean ? victor : [ laughing ] no , i do n't know what you mean . but when will you have a working product ? dylan : [ sighs ] great . both of you in the same place . victor : hey , dylan . what can i do for you ? dylan : actually , i 'm glad you asked , because can you help me figure out who was deep enough into this internet deal to kidnap your son ? because the reality is , your mysterious investor is still out there , and who knows what she might pull next . jack : how exactly do you intend to explain this ? e noah : it 's just almost impossible to understand how a person can kidnap people and not give it a second thought . marisa : your grandfather is who he is . noah : [ sighs ] which means that my grandfather does this kind of thing all the time and gets away with it . abby : what do you want , noah ? victor 's working with the police . natalie and marisa were both protected . the man 's son was kidnapped , for god 's sake . noah : so you think that that justifies snatching marisa , holding her against her will ? she had nothing to do with it . you know that , right ? abby : yeah , we know that now , but at the time -- i mean , you did n't expect him to just do nothing . noah : [ chuckles ] you know , i expected him to act like a rational human being and get his facts straight . but you know what , abby ? go ahead . defend him . i mean , that is why you 're coo . , right ? because you will say yes to the boss to the very end . but you know what ? congratulations . all that makes you is the world 's most glorified lapdog . chelsea : but sage seemed fine lately . adam : yeah . chelsea : i mean , she 'd been playing with connor , her relationship with nick . i mean , how could we not see that she was losing control ? adam : she 's not losing control , sweetheart . chelsea : babe , i mean , something must have been going on if nick forced her to get a psych evaluation . adam : she 's grieving . she 's not unbalanced , okay ? the fact that they could n't see that , that they would just judge her and punish her , it 's ridiculous . chelsea : no , it 's not punishment . i 'm sure nick thinks that he 's protecting her . adam : then he does n't even know her . [ knock on door ] i 'll get it . luca : we need to talk about the next stage of our plan . adam : yeah , uh ... now 's not a good time , so ... chelsea : no . it 's okay . go on . the plan to do what , exactly ? billy : i do have someplace to be . victoria : well , home will still be there when the doctors sign your release , and you know the kids and i are n't going anywhere . billy : yeah , you sure about that ? johnny 's getting big . he 'll probably be in college by the time i get out of here . victoria : nope . you 'll be there for every milestone , every memory . no visitation . just permanent togetherness . billy : how are you gon na put up with me ? victoria : [ sighs ] i do n't know . it 's gon na be brutal . but i really do n't have a choice . it 's obvious that we do n't work apart . so you 'll just have to come home and you 'll have to tell the kids that your boo - boos are all better . [ chuckles ] billy : what i put you through , you having to bring the kids here to say goodbye to me ... that should have never happened . victoria : but you stayed . you stayed with us . and the rest is in the past . [ sighs ] and now i have to trust that you 're gon na stay in this bed . billy : off to work , huh ? victoria : yeah . but since i know you 'll be climbing the walls , i brought you a few things to keep you company . billy : aww . so sweet . victoria : yes . billy : so , what 's going on in newman enterprises today ? victoria : oh , probably more drama with this so - called computer genius . the double dealings this woman is capable of is totally disgusting . billy : you go get 'em , tiger . keep them in line . victoria : oh , yeah . i will . thank god you 're not involved with this woman and her program . no money is worth the trouble that she 's brought to this town . jack : why would you bring us to this , of all places , when you know i have had enough of this building and its owner for a lifetime ? phyllis : [ sighs ] and here i just ran into a vendor who thinks this place is magical . i think he 's intrigued with the scandal and the drama . jack : a jabot vendor who would rather hang out at a newman facility ? tell me who it is . we 'll cut him loose . victor : well . jack : oh , finally . some service . maybe you could get us a couple of menus or tell us what the specials are today . victor : how about some dry crackers from the vending machine ? that 'd be more appropriate , considering your rather limited budget these days . phyllis : did you just make a joke ? did he just make a joke ? i saw dylan here before . how many laws did you break today , victor ? jack : maybe it 'd take less time for you to tell us how many laws you did n't break . unless this was about adam . are we any closer to finding out who 's behind the kidnapping ? victor : whoever 's behind it will pay . they 'll pay dearly . but you stay away from my son and the project . jack : ooh , we have dug our heels in awfully quickly , ready for any attack , imagined or real . victor : this is nothing , jack . there once was a family , whole family , that tried to destroy my entire empire , and now they barely have enough money to order dry crackers . jack : he 's right , you know . phyllis : jabot is not dead , not by a long shot . jack : no , the next time we 're hungry , we 're better off at a vending machine than coming to this place . phyllis : agreed . [ cell phone chimes ] natalie : this is fun and all , playing cops and kidnappers with you , but there 's really nothing else i can tell you . dylan : uh , this other investor , the one who grabbed adam , what do you know about her ? natalie : how do you know it 's a woman ? what ? 50 % chance ? 52.3 % if you want to be -- dylan : well , the kidnapper told us himself . and he turned over a burner phone that she contacted him on , and he said it was definitely a woman who contracted him to do the job . natalie : my contact was web - based . no voice . dylan : well , maybe you can recall something from , uh , some of your exchanges . natalie : like if i could tell whether they were wearing fingernail polish by the way they input text ? dylan : all right . i get it . you 're scared to talk . natalie : what ? no , i just -- dylan : look , you 're in genoa city . people get into your business a lot here . but they also look out for you . so , if you 're afraid that this woman might come after you again , do n't be . we 're gon na protect you , because i promise you we 're gon na put the pieces together . and you know better than anyone there 's no way to erase something that 's in cyberspace . so , if you know anything about the plan , now would be a good time to say something , because i guarantee we 're gon na figure it out . and if it turns out you knew something , i would just hate to see you go down with the rest of them . luca : our plan ? well , it 's a business acquisition . you know , small outlay , very little risk . chelsea : really ? in what division ? adam : yeah , buddy , you know what ? just the timing is not good . chelsea : is that the problem here ? the timing ? or is the problem that i 'm in the room so you 're gon na have to come up with a cover story , and then i 'm gon na have to call you out on it in front of luca , and things are just gon na get weird ? adam : okay , honey ... chelsea : so i 'll tell you what . i 'm gon na make things easy on all of us and , uh , i 'll just leave . adam : okay , slow down . just , you know -- chelsea : no , no , i am not gon na slow down , because this is n't about newman business . you are keeping something from victor . why is that , adam ? may i remind you you were just kidnapped , and now you want to enter a secret alliance with a very dangerous family ? ! adam : i 'm not in danger , okay ? keep your voice down , please . i was never in danger . chelsea : you promised me you would n't do anything to risk being taken from me again . you think getting involved with the santoris is really the safest path , do you ? adam : i 'm not putting anyone 's life at risk , okay ? i 'm not putting my life at risk , your life at risk . i would never do that . you know that . chelsea : i used to know that . i do n't know . maybe the fear wore off and now you 're just back to being you . this is so like you , adam . and i hate it . adam : thank you very much for that . what the hell 's the matter with you ? you just show up unannounced , uninvited , just start talking ? luca : soon secrecy will be a moot point . you 'll be running newman , and i 'll be running all santori endeavors . adam : yeah , well , you know what ? we 're not there yet . luca : yeah , but we 're close . adam : what the hell 's this ? luca : records , contracts , communications . proof of illegal business practices by my father . adam : where 'd you get all this ? luca : marisa . she 's beautiful and resourceful . she and i want the same things in life , and that starts with these . adam : this is good . this is ... this is beyond good . luca : i held up my end of the deal . what about you ? dylan : i think maybe you do know something about this woman . natalie : how ? i did n't even know it was a her . maybe she did n't know i was a her , either . dylan : except she asked for `` the girl `` in the trade . natalie : okay , good point . but i still do n't know anything about her . dylan : so you were gon na hand a random person a revolutionary idea ? natalie : none of it was random . there was a lot of vetting on both sides to prove that i had a legit idea and she had serious money . dylan : without ever meeting in person ? natalie : it was all online accounts , routing numbers , wire transfer instructions . but then the deal tanked and i went to work for victor . i guess `` her `` does n't take rejection well . [ door opens ] victoria : what are you doing in here ? dylan : uh , victor offered his office so natalie and i could talk . victoria : well , i hope she was helpful . dylan : i 'll let you know if i have any more questions . natalie : super . ca n't wait . dylan : [ sighs ] victoria : please tell me that you 're building a case to throw her in jail . dylan : for what ? she did n't kidnap adam . victoria : but she 's the reason someone did . she 's shady and she 's careless and she pissed off the wrong investor . dylan : yeah , shady is one thing . illegal activity is another . victoria : whatever she 's telling you , i 'm sure she 's working another angle . dylan : well , i do n't doubt that . victoria : you do n't ? dylan : no . i 'm gon na do my job , and i 'm gon na find out what that angle is . victoria : good . billy : hey . what 's going on with you two ? jack : well , someone ruined my appetite , and my wife suggested we check on you instead . billy : fantastic timing . i just finished counting the ceiling tiles , and it was amazing . jack : nice to know you still have priorities . so , listen , i want to talk to you about what you 're gon na do once you get out of here . billy : i already have plans . victoria 's forcing me to sit on the couch and let the kids crawl all over me . jack : well , that 'll do for a while . but then i want you to come back and work at jabot . billy : jack . do n't start getting crazy on me , okay ? i did n't walk into the light . jack : no , this is n't crazy . this is sanity . it may be too little too late , but it 's all i have . billy , i should have backed your investment when you asked . billy : why would you do that ? i only came to you because my horse did n't come in , literally . and that was after i ended up costing you and jabot millions of dollars going after victor with this new and improved paragon . none of that changes because i 'm here , because i was somebody 's speed bump . phyllis : okay , take it easy there . jack : intentions matter . you did the wrong thing with paragon for a hell of a good reason -- to wipe that smug look off of victor 's face and to hand him a loss . billy : and look where it got us , jack . i ended up handing him a bigger and better win . phyllis : we both did . jack : so we rebuild . together . we rebuild the business our father started , remembering what makes our family strong . what do you say ? billy : the fact that you 're asking me this right now means the world to me . and if i get weepy , i will blame the meds . phyllis : you 're not on any pain meds . billy : you 're not helping . jack : i 'm not telling you to put your pants on and get to work . i 'm just saying ... billy : let me think about it . jack : okay . but whenever you 're ready , so is your office . adam : do n't worry . i 'll have enough proof of malfeasance to bury victor . no problem . luca : by when ? the clock is ticking , my friend . adam : yeah . yeah , i know , but , you know , unlike you , i do n't have marisa gathering my information . i got to do that on my own , right ? and i do n't know , maybe you 've heard something about this , but i had myself taped to a chair in some damn motel room all week , so it 's hard to , you know , do stuff . luca : yeah . granted . but now it 's time to hold up your end . adam : yeah , i know . it 's tricky . you know , we got to be methodical , complete about this . i got one shot to nail victor , all right ? if i tip my hand , if i hit anything less than a home run , i 'm roadkill . luca : yeah , we both would be . my father would use every resource he has to hunt me down . i 'd never see the light of day again . but what about this latest move with your father ? yeah , just add that to the list of victor 's crimes . he -- he kidnapped my wife . he blamed my family for your kidnapping . adam : here 's the thing , though . do n't make it personal , okay ? just keep it strictly business . you bring emotion into this whole thing , you lose control of the situation . how 'd they nail al capone ? was it body count ? no . it was tax evasion . so that 's what we need . we need proof of any kind of illegal activity via mail , e - mail , phone records . we 'll have federal fraud charges . that 's how we get him , okay ? we open up this whole `` he said , she said `` kidnapping thing , that 's a -- that 's a hole , we start digging , we do n't want to crawl down into , okay ? luca : yeah , and i wo n't have marisa be a target , not for the police and not for victor . adam : exactly . we 're on the same page . i just need a little more time here , okay ? luca : keep that . make the case indisputable . adam : exactly . that 's when we move in for the kill , right ? our lives will be forever changed . [ cell phone rings ] abby : oh . look , it 's the senior vp of marketing reporting to me . yeah , i better take this . marisa : the way you talk now , always so angry -- you do n't think people are gon na notice and wonder what 's happened to you ? noah : what did i say ? abby is a lapdog . come on , you heard what she said . she does n't give a damn about what happened to you . i do . you know , after i realized that my grandfather just stashed you away somewhere , i was willing to do anything to get you back . that includes going to the police . marisa : to report your own grandfather ? noah : yeah . yeah . you know , marisa , you can be married to luca , but that does n't change how i feel about you . and the idea of victor just getting away with this -- marisa : he wo n't . he 'll pay for everything . noah : what does that mean ? what do you know ? marisa : uh , i mean , karma . no one can run forever . noah : [ scoffs ] marisa , is -- is luca and his family planning a move against newman enterprises ? marisa ? marisa : [ sighs ] it 's not the santoris , okay ? the threat is from the inside . noah : the inside ? really ? who 's that ? how do you know that ? chelsea : hey , guys . uh , excuse me . marisa , i need to talk to you . marisa : uh , about the fashion line ? of course . yeah . uh , i have to do this . chelsea : after you . marisa : what is it ? chelsea : i need to know what 's going on between luca and adam . and do n't you dare waste my time saying nothing , because luca is in my home right now with my husband . marisa : chelsea , whatever you 're suspecting -- chelsea : no . do not do this to me . marisa : i 'm sorry . i do n't -- i do n't know . chelsea : fine . fine . i 'll find out some other way . but if i expose both of our husbands in doing so , then oh , well . marisa : okay , okay . all right . stop . i will tell you myself . abby : yes , yes , i am just getting off my call with the senior v.p . who called me because she trusts my judgment and knows that i 'm good at my job because everybody knows that i 'm good at my job , including victor newman . you know , he would n't just hand me a job that i was n't capable of doing . i - i have had some huge successes , and i am having to deal with max and stitch and ... [ cell phone chimes ] abby : yeah , yeah , see ? more work texts are coming in because people need me . well , this is -- this is , um , actually uncle jack , but normally it 's business texts . chelsea : adam is still ... still going after victor ? with luca ? they 're both trying to go after their father 's companies ? marisa : i am only telling you this so you do n't run around saying things or asking questions . if luca or your husband feels cornered , somebody could get hurt . chelsea : oh , let me promise you , if they go after these men , somebody will most definitely get hurt . this is dangerous and -- and stupid . and infuriating . adam looked me in the dead in the eyes and promised me he was done going after victor . well , little does he know he will be done . marisa : i understand how you feel , but it may already be too late to stop them . victoria : just to be clear , i do n't like doing business with people like you . natalie : people smarter than you ? victoria : conniving , backstabbing , completely lacking in ethics . natalie : yeah . i 'm the worst . i 'm a monster . but your father owns me , so i need to do my job . victoria : gosh , you know , this whole nerd act is such a joke . natalie : uh , i write code . my social life is hacker message boards . you know , i hate face to face conversation , especially this one . what part of that is an act to you ? victoria : i can see right through you . this poor , victimized genius act is not working on me . you 're a con artist who has done nothing but cause trouble since you came to town . natalie : [ scoffs ] victor : what 's going on here ? natalie : we 're bonding . victoria : dad , since we own her idea and the work she 's done so far , why do n't we just find someone to finish what she started ? dylan : so , the kidnapper , the guy who physically detained adam , admits that he was taking orders from a woman , and she specifically told him not to hurt adam . kevin : bossy yet protective . sounds kind of hot . dylan : kevin . kevin : sorry . dylan : okay , so we 've been working off the assumption that the , uh , person who had adam grabbed was natalie 's other investor , but , you know , that 's not necessarily true because there 's a lot of people who want to stick it to victor . kevin : right . billy was in the hospital being , well , almost dead . dylan : plus we know that it was a woman . kevin : who knew that victor would cave if adam was in danger . and you think it was someone close to home . dylan : i do n't know , man . i do n't know . this is gon na be a long process , but we got to narrow it down . phyllis : well , natalie is playing it absolutely perfect . i just ran into her at the top of the tower with victor , and she is not playing the good , little soldier , which would tip off victor . she 's smart , she 's prickly , she 's awkward in a way , and he is eating it up . when he realizes that he has been screwed and he knows by whom , i tell you , it is gon na be spectacular . we have earned this . we deserve this . billy : phyllis . phyllis : [ sighs ] you have second thoughts , do n't you ? victor : once natalie has worked the bug out of her program , the , uh , return of investment will be substantial . but she is the one who should see it through to the end , all right , baby ? natalie : [ sighs ] and i ca n't really do that just standing here . victor : there 's an office ready for you . natalie : [ scoffs ] like the last one ? where the door locked on the outside ? thanks , but i think i 'll work better in my hotel room with my mini bar . victoria : newman employees work in newman tower . victor : wherever natalie feels comfortable doing her job , that 's where her office will be . i 'll have my driver take you . natalie : i like the cold . i 'll walk . victor : you do as you wish . victoria : it 's not worth it , dad . this deal has already gotten billy in the hospital and adam kidnapped . victor : you know what got billy in the hospital ? he 's dealing with bookies . they beat the crap out of him . that 's what happened . i 've not forgotten that . maybe you have . victoria : how much longer is this gon na take with natalie ? and how much more chaos is she gon na cause ? [ cell phone rings ] victoria : [ sighs ] it 's memorial . hello ? this is she . okay , great . i 'll be right there . one step closer to billy 's release . they want to brief me on his aftercare , so i have to get going . victor : you convey one message to billy boy . he 's not part of this deal . dylan : we definitely have our locals that could have arranged adam 's kidnapping , so we got to consider motives and opportunity . we sure about all these men 's names ? kevin : well , the woman could have been a go - between and not the puppet master . we need to take that into consideration . dylan : well , i questioned the kidnapper , and , you know , i got the vibe that it was the woman calling the shots . ashley abbott . i mean , she knows the dynamic between victor and adam . kevin : here 's the thing . i do n't see ashley saying not to hurt him , though . she has reason to see him hurt , just like the rest of us . why not take a couple of shots at him while he 's in captivity ? and the abbotts were at the hospital worried about billy . dylan : which is the perfect cover . jack and phyllis . also at the hospital . and jack would never put adam in danger . kevin : yes , but per the instructions , adam never was in danger . dylan : nikki newman ? kevin : uh - huh . dylan : are you -- are you being serious ? that 's ridiculous . kevin : what ? she owes victor payback after all these years . dylan : that 's my mom ! kevin : i know ! would n't it be great to see her pull one over on him ? dylan : you 're really gon na do with this ? oh , okay . well , uh , nikki was very upset that she was left in the dark about adam 's kidnapping and exchange . there . kevin : i need the hope of this possibility in my life . dylan : [ sighs ] kevin : and we still have a bunch of question marks . well , that 's been helpful . dylan : well , the one person who would have wanted to stick it to victor and adam both is the only person who could n't have done it . billy : i 'm the reason why jabot 's in the toilet . i also wanted to be the reason why we sent him to the stratosphere so high that victor could never screw us again . phyllis : you have already won , billy . you have everything you could ever need . billy : need ? yeah . want ? it 's a little trickier , is n't it ? what about you ? you have a lot to risk here . phyllis : if i do n't do it , i risk more . i lose my dignity , i lose my self- respect . i owe this to victor . i am not going to back away now . i am going to take him down on my own . i will , and you 're gon na watch and cheer , and it 'll still be fantastic . billy : watch and cheer . from the stands . phyllis : the timing is n't right . okay , i get it . billy : timing ? yeah . so what do i do ? wait for a better chance to stick it to victor ? no . i 'm gon na do this with you . let 's take him down . victor : this is impressive . adam : it 's fantastic is what it is , right ? luca was able to assemble enough information . we 're gon na be able to burn the santori business to the ground . victor : you did all this while being kidnapped ? adam : yeah . why not ? i 'm a multi - tasker . you know that . besides , as far as kidnappings go , this one was -- was almost pleasant , actually . victor : but you know i was worried about you . that 's why i allowed the cops to become involved . dylan convinced me it would be more effective that way . adam : and you listened to him ? imagine that . victor : will miracles never cease ? i actually listened to him . adam : i 'd still like to know who snagged me , though , you know , and why . victor : it 's not gon na happen again . whoever was involved in that and the santoris will soon learn the same lesson . and then you and i will devote ourselves to this internet security project . adam : which i was already a part of . i just did n't realize it when i was strapped to that chair , right ? victor : you know it 's gon na revolutionize the internet world . you know that , do n't you ? and you 'll be right by my side when it happens . [ door slams ] chelsea : that sounds amazing . victor : hello , chelsea . chelsea : working side by side with victor . what do you say , adam ? chelsea : this is what you 've been waiting for . it 's the reason we 're not in paris or anywhere else -- so you can work with victor . it 's great . victor : this is an exciting , new venture , okay ? i 'll give you a status report soon . meanwhile , you spend some time with your family , all right ? adam : sure . victor : okay . chelsea : family . that means a lot to you both . family . it 's really something you have in common , is n't it ? victor : that 's very true . speak with you soon , all right ? adam : very good . victor : okay . bye , chelsea . chelsea : bye . victor : nice to see you . chelsea : you , too . [ door opens ] adam : the hell was that all about ? you know , uh ... [ door closes ] adam : you know my father and i are n't the `` hug it out and shed a tear `` kind of type . chelsea : no . you 're more the chronic liar type . adam : what -- what the hell are you talking about now ? chelsea : i know , adam . about your plan with luca santori to take down both of your fathers . and yet again you lied to my face ! adam : no , i did n't . chelsea : you always do . adam : babe , hold on ! slow down , okay ? you got it all wrong . i 'm actually working with victor against the santoris . we 're working together to try to get them out of newman . chelsea : you actually expect me to believe that ? adam : it 's the truth . noah : so , what was that with chelsea ? was it adam ? marisa : we were just talking about work . noah : okay . is adam the inside threat to newman ? marisa : noah , please . noah : he is , right ? marisa : no more . noah : [ chuckles ] yeah . wow . adam is smart . he 's played the loyal son to perfection . and after all this time , my grandfather lets his guard down , as much as he can let his guard down , and now adam is just going straight for the jugular . and luca is working with him . that 's what 's happening , right ? luca : there you are . i dropped off that work file . we can go now . noah : no , no , no . you 're not going anywhere , unless you want me to make one phone call and blow your little plan sky high . jack : hey . hope i did n't take you away from anything . abby : uh , no . i was just handling an issue , and it was handled . jack : well , uncle billy sends his love . abby : you were at the hospital ? jack : yeah . i asked billy to come back to jabot . abby : as a valid , contributing member of the family , i hope . i mean , i hope you did n't just throw him a job as a consolation prize . like , `` here 's a title with no respect , `` because that -- that 's not a job offer . that 's an insult . jack : i am well aware of billy 's value to the company . i should never have cut him loose . he 's an abbott . like all abbotts , he has jabot in his blood . every abbott has something to contribute . that 's why i want you to come back to jabot . look , the compensation package will not be as good as it is at newman , but you 'll have a chance to help rebuild a family company . i know newman has the capital , but it 's not safe to work there right now between the kidnapping and the santori family . abby : so you want to protect me . like a pet . jack : no , abby . i want you to bust your butt for jabot because we need you . abby : i have a job . jack : i 'm offering you more than a job . i 'm offering you a future with meaning and purpose , working with family , with billy , with me , all of us . what do you say ? billy : i 'm in . you 're not scooping victor without me . phyllis : you do n't have to do this . you do n't have to do this . the result will be the same with or without you . i will beat victor at his own game , okay ? billy : as i sit on the sidelines and watch ? no , that 's not gon na happen . phyllis : i am feeling like a really bad influence right now . billy : you ? you revel in it . phyllis : a little . billy : come a long way , have n't we ? since almost killing each other at restless style . phyllis : i know . we are so alike . we 're so alike , and it 's a little annoying sometimes . billy : yeah , but sometimes we create big things , and this is gon na be one of those times , if you let me in . phyllis : this was your deal . i just kept it warm for you . but it is not without risk . billy : of course it is n't . there 's no fun in that . adam : baby , the santoris are n't just gon na quietly let us buy them out of newman . they have to be forced out . chelsea : and victor knows about this plan ? adam : victor and i orchestrated the whole plan , yeah . chelsea : you created this with victor together . adam : right . sweetheart , i told you , i 'm done going after my father . i meant it . chelsea : okay , so marisa ? she was just wrong ? adam : well , marisa and luca believe exactly what victor and i want them to believe . and you need to make sure that marisa continues to think that i 'm teaming up with her husband , okay , to go after victor . you need to do that for your own safety . chelsea : all right , so this is all just one big master plan between you and victor . adam : yeah . it 's what i told you . you believe me , right ? chelsea : i do . i believe you . but this is all very troubling . adam : troubling how ? chelsea : because you do n't even see what victor is doing to you . noah : that 's right . i make one phone call to my grandfather and i give him about -- what -- two minutes before he takes you down , luca . luca : what 's he talking about ? you 're not making any sense . noah : i 'm not , really ? [ chuckles ] you want to play games with me right now ? think that 's smart ? marisa : noah figured it out , luca . most of it . noah : you 're working with adam , which is why chelsea ran in here and dragged you off to talk . you and adam are making a move on victor . luca : so , go on , then . make your call . noah : you 're not denying it ? you are making a move on my grandfather , are n't you ? yeah . good . i want in . victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : jack offered me a job at jabot . victor : what do you mean , he offered you a job ? you already have a job . abby : no , i have a title . i 'm coo , and adam has shoved me aside . he does all the big deals , the contracts , the negotiations . i did n't even know about this hostage exchange . victor : sweetheart , the reason you did n't know about it is because only those who were directly involved were informed . everyone else i wanted to keep safe . abby : dad , i am an adult . i am a member of this family . and if i 'm not valued enough to consult and inform , then i 'm gon na go someplace where i am , where i 'm respected and brought in on those decisions . i 'm going to jabot . kevin : we should go to where adam was held . recreate the scene or subpoena phone records or -- dylan : wait a second . maybe -- maybe it 's not somebody in the area . maybe this all originated back in geneva . that 's where you met natalie , right ? kevin : online first , then in person at a café when i was there with jack , yeah . dylan : and then the mystery investor contacted her after that , so maybe this goes back to switzerland . let 's retrace your steps . let 's retrace natalie 's . we can work backwards and find the mastermind that way . billy : a little danger is good for you . [ door opens ] natalie : so you 're him . billy : so you 're her . it 's nice to meet you . i 've heard a lot about you . natalie : same here . phyllis : i feel like i should have a little trumpet music . such a big event meeting him . natalie : i wanted to see you myself . billy : is it everything you dreamed of and more ? natalie : this one 's done a lot of crazy stuff to get you your deal back . i wanted to see why . billy : oh , she did n't do it just for me . [ door opens ] victoria : what the hell 's going on here ?

[ yells ] [ j.t . grunts ] victoria : now look ! nikki : i did kill j.t . i did n't mean to , but i -- i did n't have a choice . he was hurting your sister . nick : i still do n't understand why you did n't call the police , the paramedics , something . sharon : i wanted to . phyllis : we could n't go to the cops . your mother had just killed the man who tried to murder her husband . nick : [ sighs ] in self - defense . phyllis : christine was trying to pin something on the newmans for months . we would have been handing it to her on a silver platter . victoria : she would have just seen it as a case of vigilantism . phyllis : no matter how we feel about each other , we were n't gon na let your mother go to prison for that . sharon : i thought it was a mistake . phyllis : in the end , we promised each other that we were in this together . nick : so you were in this with them , all of it ? sharon : after committing to keeping j.t . 's death a secret , there was no going back . phyllis : then we had to get rid of the body . victoria : so we rolled j.t . up in an old rug , and we carried him to my car . nikki : and drove to chancellor park . nick : where you buried him . victoria : that was the hardest part . [ shovel thuds ] i 'll never forget throwing that first shovelful of dirt on j.t . nick : [ sighs ] sharon : after that , nikki burned the rug , and phyllis got rid of j.t . 's phone and the fireplace poker . victoria : you can see that keeping this secret has taken a toll on all of us . sharon : every day , we were terrified that someone would learn the truth . nikki : hiding this , especially from those that we love , is killing us . phyllis : we hated lying to you . but we did n't have a choice . nick : who else knows about this ? sharon : um ... mariah . and tessa . nick : i thought you said mariah was passed out that night . sharon : she was . nick : so , what , you just told her ? victoria : no . we have n't told anyone . sharon : remember when you hired tessa to work at dark horse ? nick : yes . she was deleting files from the hard drives . sharon : one of those files belonged to j.t . he installed hidden cameras at victoria 's house . there was video footage of us moving the body . phyllis : i guess we should be grateful that tessa was not a law - abiding citizen . nick : so she 's blackmailing you ? phyllis : [ sighs ] we got most of our money back , and convinced her to keep quiet . nick : so now she 's framing dad to , like , get money out of him ? victoria : we thought that at first , too , but then we found out that it was n't her . nick : how can you be sure ? sharon : trust us . um ... she 's not the one who 's framing victor or tormenting nikki . nikki : but i do think it 's someone close to us . someone who had access to all of the evidence . sharon : am i missing something ? phyllis : i got rid of j.t . 's phone [ sighs ] but i held on to the fireplace poker . sharon : what ? ! phyllis : oh , stop . acting all shocked . i mean , like you 've never lied about anything . dna tests come to mind . sharon : you planted that poker at the newman ranch . you 're the one who 's trying to set up victor ! nick : no , she isn't . nikki : nicholas -- nick : mom , no . it 's not her . i believe her . phyllis : thank you . nick : you hate dad . but i know you would never do this to me . phyllis : no , i wouldn't . [ cellphones chime ] nikki : what is it ? nick : oh , it 's just jack reminding us about abby 's engagement party . nikki : i did n't know abby got engaged . victoria : arturo popped the question yesterday . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm just gon na tell jack that we ca n't make it . victoria : no , nick , you have to go . it 's what we 've all been doing for months -- acting like everything is normal . if you do n't , then people will start to suspect something . nick : so this is what you have been dealing with since spring ? phyllis : waking up every morning thinking this might be our last day of freedom . nick : i do not want dad to know that sharon and phyllis are involved in this . nikki : son , you 're wrong if you think he would blame j.t . 's death on them . he would -- nick : i just do n't want to complicate things any further . nikki : all right . i - i wo n't say anything . nick : all right . we should get over to jack 's . victoria : i 'll talk to you later . nikki : all right . goodbye , darling . phyllis : thank you . for believing me . we 'll talk later . sharon : you lying , conniving bitch . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . mia : very nice house . very classy . jack : thank you . rey : billy . kyle . you know my wife , mia . billy : hey . how you doing ? mia : uh , i 'll be great once i get one of those . billy : sure . red wine ? mia : yes , please . billy : cool . rey : where 's lola ? kyle : working . rey : mm . that 's good . i would n't want her to get any ideas . kyle : mm - hmm .

[ doorbell rings ] jack : oh ! i will get that . kerry : hi . am i late ? jack : you 're right on time . abby : i appreciate you both coming . i know you have a lot going on with nikki 's accident and dad 's arrest . victoria : are you kidding me ? we would never miss your engagement party . victor : you know , king arthur , he was a boy , a very poor boy , right . he came from far away somewhere in the country , and he became so strong , so powerful , that he ruled all of england . can you imagine that ? see ? `` once there was a boy named arthur , who lived in a time when men were born to be peasants or kings . the sword in the stone would change that . `` can you imagine that ? a sword in a stone . boom ! you put a sword in a stone . wow ! whoa . that was a strong sword , right ? jack : if i may , i 'd like to thank you all for being here . and , uh , we have n't had a lot of things to celebrate in the abbott family lately , and i did not want to waste another minute in celebrating this , and welcoming arturo to the , uh , complicated abbott family . abby : [ chuckles ] billy : yeah , you got to be seriously in love to join this crazy family . abby : do n't listen to billy . arturo : no , he 's right . i am seriously in love . mia : let 's hear it for serious love . jack : abby , we could n't be any happier for you . we hope the two of you have a lifetime of happiness . and , arturo , you 're a lucky man . arturo : oh , believe me , i know . abby : i 'm just as lucky . arturo : [ chuckles ] abby : well , almost . [ laughs ] jack : listen , if anyone else has something they 'd like to say , please . nick : well , as abby 's big brother ... abby : uh - oh . [ laughs ] nick : [ chuckles ] ... and as someone who represents the other side of the family , which is almost as complicated as the abbotts , um ... arturo , you 're getting a great girl . she is a handful . i 'm kidding . mostly . but , uh ... she 's awesome . so as long as you do n't hurt her , we 're good . so , to both of you , i hope you have a long and happy life together . victoria : cheers . arturo : that 's the plan . jack : hear , hear . arturo : cheers . victoria : abby , while we 've certainly had our ups and downs -- maybe more downs than ups -- billy : `` maybe `` ? as far as siblings go , nick 's okay , but you and i , uh ... well , we 've never really been as close as i would have liked for us to be . but we 've been there for each other through the good times and the bad . and i know i have n't said this enough , but i love you , and i 'm so proud of you . and you deserve all the happiness in the world . both of you . a lifetime of it . abby : thank you . mia : aww . a sweet toast like that calls for more wine . jack : everything all right ? kerry : yeah . i will be right back . mia : i think it 's time we heard from the rosales family , do n't you , rey ? rey : mia -- mia : no , i think we heard how amazing abby is . it 's only fair someone spoke up for arturo . talk about what a great guy he is . phyllis : this no - sex zone that you 've been living in is really making you uptight . sharon : i have every right to be upset . phyllis : oh , yeah . because i did n't throw the fire poker in the lake ? whatever . sharon : because you tried to use it against us . phyllis : how many times do i have to tell you this ? i did not put that poker into nikki 's house . sharon : then how did it get there ? phyllis : i have no idea . the one that nikki found , i thought was a copy . when i went to the storage unit where i hid the original , it was n't there . nikki : why should we believe you ? phyllis : oh , i do n't know . maybe 'cause , for almost a year , i hid the fact that you killed j.t . ? nikki : [ scoffs ] sharon : that wo n't stop you from ratting us out now . phyllis : i 'm not the one who spilled her guts to nick . now victor knows . sharon : not that you and i were there . you were n't lying to nicholas , were you ? nikki : no ! i do n't want victor any more involved in this than he already is . phyllis : too bad you 're not concerned about the people who actually deserve your loyalty . nikki : oh , please . you 've been trying to form an alliance with sharon for months . phyllis : if i wanted to blow things up , you would know it . nikki : oh , is that a threat ? sharon : would you two stop it ? if we do n't stick together , we are all going to prison . phyllis : okay , for once , sharon is right . we can not let anyone else know about this secret . the more people know , the more dangerous it gets . for all of us . victor : `` and king arthur said to the boy , ' go forth and tell everyone that once there was a kingdom where men were brave and honorable , and that it can be that way again . the end . `` [ chuckles ] did you like it , kate ? where 's kate ? where 'd she go ? johnny : i do n't know . victor : i 'm gon na go find her . you stay here , okay ? kate ? kyle : anyone need a top - up ? mia : mm ! rey : we 're good . mia : just wanted some more for your toast . would n't want to miss out on that . rey : [ sighs ] you 're all grown up . but when i look at you , i still see that wild kid who did every crazy thing i told him not to . abby : [ chuckles ] rey : i swear , it was like you were trying to give me a heart attack half the time . but we both survived . [ sighs ] i hope you see now that i was only trying to protect you . arturo : i do . rey : but there was one thing i could not protect you from -- what our father did to our family . his walking out on us hurt . and i know you still carry that with you . rey : so i know what it took for you to make this leap . and i 'm glad you found someone who can show you what commitment really looks like . and someone who will also put up with you . [ laughter ] i love you , little brother . and i wish you and abby the very best . abby : hear , hear . arturo : cheers . together : cheers . mia : my turn . rey : mia -- mia : [ clears throat ] i just want to say how happy i am for you , arturo . and abby . the abbotts have been so warm and gracious welcoming arturo into their family . i want abby to know that you 're just as welcome in ours . we may not be as rich as these people , but we 're the same . right ? we all have our challenges . our problems . struggles . secrets . but underneath it all , there is love . in both families . i saw it when arturo went down on one knee at our vow renewal .

[ sobs ] i do n't want to see arturo with a broken heart . and trust me , that is what will happen if he goes through with this marriage . rey : hey . look at me . i know you care about my brother . he can take care of himself . phyllis : now that you believe me that i have not been tormenting nikki , we need to figure out who is . sharon : whoever it is seems to know every move we 've made since the night j.t . was killed . phyllis : they 've been going in and out of the ranch undetected . nikki : it 's almost as if they 've been watching us all this time . katie : next time , you can come to my tea party . victor : who are you talking to ? katie : my friend . oh , what friend ? grown - ups ca n't see him . just me . victor : oh . must be a very special friend . katie : he is . victor : a - ha . you know , i think it 's time to go to beddy - bye , huh ? say , `` bye- bye , friend . `` katie : bye - bye , friend .

theo : what can i say ? i 'm a hopeless romantic . summer : yeah , you get the first part of that right . theo : [ sighs ] lola : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship ( applause ) o'donnell : and there you heard the president of the united states unveiling his long - awaited peace plan , developed in part by his son - in - law , jared kushner , and they 're standing next to the prime minister of israel , benjamin netanyahu . i want to bring in major garrett , our chief washington correspondent . the president called this a big step toward peace , allowing -- saying jerusalem will remain undivided , but they will double the palestinian materiality and allow a capital in -- reporter : notice who will be absent , the palestinians . this is the president of the united states taking america out of its traditional role as an honest broker allowing the palestinians and israelis to negotiate many of these details themselves . no , this is the united states putting a marker down that is decidedly proisrael . not only does benjamin netanyahu support it , but benny gantz also supports it . this is the united states siding with israel , telling the palestinians , this is your last chance . the deal 's not going to get any better . if you want to achieve peace and any kind of economic development in the future , this is your only pathway , taking america distinctly out of honest broker to the broker . o'donnell : i want to turn to seath do n't in dell avef , and as major noted , notably absent the palestinians who are rejecting this plan , correct ? reporter : that 's right , norah . and that is something that bee have been hearing all through this week . we were in ramalaearlier in the week , speaking with his son , the former chief representative to the u.s. for the palestinians , and he said , we do not believe this is a deal nor a plan nor will it bring peace . and we saw palestinian leaders calling for protests , calling for a day of rage , even before they heard the deal . they have been critical , really , of how the u.s. , as major pointed out , has been seen as siding with israel , and a number of major foreign policy wins which the president also lifted just now , including recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel , moving , of course , the u.s. embassy there , recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights . those are all seen as major foreign policy wins for israel , and really has frustrated the palestinians . the diplomat we spoke with earlier in the week , said mr . trump can not treat this like a real estate deal . he said this is not a new york real estate deal where you offer some money for some land . the palestinians , of course , having an ancestral connection to this land . president trump , as you just heard , was very clear . they are making what they see as major conceptions or steps towards peace and offering some things to palestinians -- notably , saying there would be a capital in eastern jerusalem , where the u.s. would open an embassy . he talked about a $ 50 billion investment . he talked about a million new jobs and trying to half the property rate . but as we know , we 're already seeing protests in gaza and tonight , along the west bank , so palestinians telling us , we feel simply this is not our time . o'donnell : all right , even the president of the united states admitting that every administration since l.b.j . has tried to craft a middle east peace plan , but has failed . we 'll continue to watch this , and we will back at the top of the hour for senate impeachment trial . more coverage continues on our 24-hour streaming network , cbsn . you can watch it at cbsnews . com , or on our cbs news app . we 'll have much more on your local news , on this cbs station , and of course tonight , the `` cbs evening news. `` this has been a cbs news special report . i 'm norah o'donnell , cbs news , washington . and all he wants to do is help . sharon : so much . mariah : mom , it 's an embarrassment of riches . you are lucky to have so many people around you that care about you . sharon : [ sighs ] i 'm not his patient , you know ? i just want to be me . i do n't want to be something that needs to be tended to . okay ? abby : you do n't say . well , how long is that gon na take ? no . i -- i will let her know . thank you so much for your help . phyllis : what did they say ? abby : oh , i wish i had better news , but the maintenance department is dealing with a million things right now . there 's elevator inspections . there 's a problem with a freezer in the kitchen . phyllis : wow . abby : they are having quite the day . phyllis : this is crazy . all of this and my water problem . you should really hire an outside contractor . abby : oh , they 're gon na get to you as soon as they can . in the meantime , can i get you a bottle of champagne , compliments of the grand phoenix ? i will have it sent right to your room . phyllis : i 'd rather sit here with you . abby : in the lobby ? wearing that ? phyllis : yeah . abby : mm . well , do n't you think you 'd feel a little bit more comfortable in the privacy of your own suite ? phyllis : mm ... nope . i 've worn less ... and rocked it . [ chuckles ] wow . these are extraordinary . you have amazing hands . i bet you 're really good with a wrench . you want to come up and check out my plumbing ? chance : um ... [ sighs ] i think i 'm gon na have to sit this one out . i have a phone call to make . oh , wow . but i do hope we 're still on for later . phyllis : i would n't miss it for the world . there is one question that i have to ask you and i have n't figured out . abby : uh , how to conduct yourself in public ? phyllis : no . why is it that my room is the only room with a water problem ? abby : you know what ? this is actually the maintenance guy right now , and he is telling me that the cold water is fully operational . phyllis : that would be great if that 's what i needed . but i don't . abby : oh , you will ... after chance realizes what a disaster area you are during your date . [ clicks tongue ] tired of clean clothes that just do n't smell clean ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . chance : there is still no sign of the target from my people there . how about yours ? please tell me you have something . okay . [ sighs ] keep looking . phyllis . was there something you wanted ask me ? mariah : hey , stranger . nick : what are you doing ? following me ? mariah : ah . busted . i had a hunch , so i chased you down . nick : sit down . i 'll buy you a drink . mariah : thank you . nick : sharon seemed like she was in pretty good spirits today . mariah : uh , yeah , she was . but i did n't want to overstay my welcome , so ... you know , it sounds crazy now that i think about it , but i was toying with the idea of moving back in for the duration , you know , if she needed any help . nick : that 's a pretty good idea . mariah : actually , i think it 's the worst idea . who needs a helicopter kid ? sharon is completely capable of handling this situation and asking for help when she can't . i would just be a nuisance , right ? nick : yeah , i guess . mariah : maybe that 's something that we all need to keep in mind . sharon is one of the most independent women i know . and she does n't want to be seen as a victim or weak . nick : yeah . no , i think sharon should definitely feel like the heroine in this story . mariah : exactly . so i think we should all focus on , you know , giving her some space , not trying to solve anything for her . if she needs help , trust me -- she 's -- she 's gon na ask for it . you know , that means less wear and tear for us , freedom for everyone . nick : okay . what 's going on here ? why do n't you just come out with it and be honest ? did sharon say i 'm , uh , going overboard ? [ footsteps approaching ] summer : [ gasps ] oh , my god . [ laughs ] sorry . you scared me . kyle : what are you doing here ? summer : uh , well , i could ask you the same thing . kyle : it 's my office . summer : right . right . you just were n't in here earlier . um , no , i just -- i was finishing up some notes from our trip . um , i figured you 'd be with lola . kyle : something came up . summer : what ? kyle : i do n't know . i went to see her at society . it was tense , awkward . things were n't great before we took off to san francisco , and we were on our way back to the apartment to straighten things out , make things right again . summer : so , what happened ? kyle : she got some news from home about her mom . it threw her for a loop . so , what could i do ? [ sighs ] i backed off , told her we 'd talk about everything later , clear the air . summer : clearing the air . i -- how clear are you gon na make things , kyle ? were you gon na tell her that i kissed you ? new fructis treats phyllis : where were we ? chance : you were about to tell me why you were hovering during my conversation . phyllis : oh , well , i wanted to invite you to -- to enjoy a flute of champagne with me , and you were in a conversation . i wanted to give you privacy . i did n't want to be accused of eavesdropping . chance : mm . of course . phyllis : mm - hmm . i heard some interesting details . chance : yeah ? like what ? phyllis : well , you said that your people were on it . what does that mean ? does it have to do with devon 's inheritance or an international manhunt or maybe something simple and domestic , like vegas ? chance : you hear what curiosity did to the cat . phyllis : then satisfaction revived her . satisfy me . chance : you do n't wan na talk about boring old work stuff , do you ? phyllis : no , i don't . i 'm sure we can think of something a lot more interesting to do . kyle : i was a complete mess . i was actually terrified to see my own wife . summer : what happened ? what 'd you say ? kyle : lola asked about the trip . all i could think about was how it ended ... in that hotel room , with you ... saying all those things you said . summer : look , we do n't have to rehash everything , okay ? kyle : and that kiss ... which is the last thing i wanted to mention , so i started going on and on about business , stupid details , nothing of real consequence , and then i realized i was leaving you totally out of the story . so i did nothing but talk about you , which made everything so much worse , and i was all over the place , until we finally decided to talk about everything once we got home . summer : okay , well , you still have n't told me how honest you 're gon na be with lola . are you gon na tell her what we did ? kyle : what good would it do ? it would hurt lola . she 'd hate you forever . she 'd never trust me again , which she probably should n't because i am the worst person in the world . summer : maybe the second worst . kyle : i love lola . summer : oh , of course you do . kyle : and i just want to get my marriage back on track . she is everything to me . you said everything you needed to say to me . nothing 's changed ... not for me . i fought like hell to marry that woman , summer . summer : i know 'cause i was the one that you were fighting . kyle : look , it 's best for all of us if we forget about what happened in san francisco . living with opioid addiction can be a struggle . mariah : mnh - mnh . stop twisting everything around . nick : well , if sharon is saying i 'm coming on too strong by trying to help , i want to know . mariah : the opinions expressed are solely mine and do not express the opinions of my mother . nick : alright . it 's not entirely crazy . i do tend to overcompensate if i feel like there 's something i 'm not in control of . mariah : and it comes from a good place . nick : i just wish i could make this all go away . mariah : well , you do n't need to give up or stop . we just have to trust that sharon is gon na let us know when she needs us , no mind - reading necessary . nick : well , why do n't you finish this drink ? 'cause i 'm gon na buy you another one . mariah : what ? ! what did i do to deserve this ? nick : you stopped me from making a very big mistake . the last thing i want to do is add to sharon 's burden , you know ? mariah : i do . nick : yeah . she 's got enough to worry about . mariah : that 's why we 're also lucky to have each other . i 'm checking in with faith to make sure she 's handling everything as best she can , but i do have room for one more . nick : really ? would you do that ? would you try to keep me in line ? mariah : i would be honored . team sharon . nick : team sharon . [ chuckles ] phyllis : you know , drinking champagne is like drinking stars . i wish you could have joined me . chance : i 'm going to have to keep my wits when hanging out with you . phyllis : [ sighs ] yeah , for sure . so , i wonder if abby 's plumbers have my water working . i do n't want to be late for our date . chance : do n't worry . you 're worth the wait . phyllis : you 're very charming . and you 're right . i am worth the wait ... just so you know . [ footsteps approaching ] chance : try and stay out of trouble . phyllis : not tonight . all bets are off . summer : i owe you an apology . kyle : it 's okay . summer : no , kyle , i put you in an awkward position with lola , and that was n't fair . kyle : who said life was fair ? summer : [ chuckles ] okay , but you were right about everything . we should just pretend that nothing happened in san francisco ... just put it in the vault , lose the combination , throw away the key , just never think about it again . kyle : thanks .

mariah and nick agree to abide by sharon 's wishes and only help her when she asks them for help and try their best not to treat her like a patient . phyllis overhears a phone call that chance has and wonders if it is about what happened in vegas . kyle and lola agree to talk and work out their differences but lola 's mom breaks her ankle so kyle tells lola that they will postpone their talk until she makes sure that her mom is okay . kyle and summer agree not to tell lola about what happened between them in san francisco unaware that theo is listening to their conversation from the hallway outside kyle 's office .

victor : morning . nikki : hello . victor : coffee smells good . nike to call the doctor ? victor : no , no , i do n't want to see a doctor right now . nikki : i do n't know why you have to be so stubborn . a head injury should not be taken lightly . you should have gone to the hospital last night . victor : it would have been a waste of time . nikki : you know , you really do need to have your head thoroughly examined . victor : what the hell is that supposed to mean ? nikki : you know what it means . this little scheme of yours was insane , luring two violent criminals out here , setting a trap for them ? victor : because of me , those two violent criminals are behind bars right now . nikki : yeah , and in the process of doing that , you could have been killed . victor : it worked out . nikki : what if something had gone wrong ? i can not , for the life of me , fathom what you were thinking . sharon : i want it done today . yes , i 'm sure . just send it by messenger . do you have the address ? okay , thank you . ( knock on door ) sharon : katherine . kay : i stop by at a bad time ? sharon : no , no , not at all . come on in . kay : thank you . it 's freezing out th oh , well , i was just wondering how things were going . sharon : by things , you mean my strategy to win nick back ? kay : well , you know , any new developments . sharon : actually , there have been . i threw in the towel . kay : why ? sharon : because it did n't work , katherine . in fact , it totally backfired . neil : hey , nick . nick : good morning , neil . neil : hey , tending the store , i see . nick : yeah , you know , just seeing how things are going . what can i get you ?

still sleeping in your office ? nick : not sleeping at home , that 's for sure . neil : look , man , i do n't know all the details of what 's going on between you and sharon . i 'm pretty sure there 's another guy involved . nick : it 's more complicated than that . neil : usually is . you know , infidelity , it 's probably the worst thing that can happen to a married couple . it cuts deep . seems that there 's no way to stop the bleeding , but you have to find a way somehow to stop it . i have to believe that there are two sides to this story . otherwise , you would have divorced sharon months ago , which means either you still value your marriage , or you have some sins of your own to atone for . raul : hey , here 's one . raul : three bedroom , two bath , utilities included , flexible lease . oh , never mind . that 's all the way out by the airport . brittany : mnh - mnh . billy : trevor , two cups of coffee , please . what 's going on , guys ? brittany : we 're looking for places . billy : find anything good ? raul : not really , man . everything 's either too pricey , too small or just too far away from the campus . mac : thank you . billy : how 'bout you , britt ? brittany : yeah , i think i found one . where 'd it go ? oh , yeah , two bedroom over on sycamore . mac : two bedroom ? brittany : yeah , what 's wrong with that ? mac : well , i want my own room . i thought you knew that . brittany : well , raul had mentioned that . i did n't know it was a requirement . mac : well , it is . brittany : ca n't you and billy just share the master bedroom , put up a screen ? billy : it 's not gon na fly , britt . raul : yeah , we 're gon na need a three bedroom . brittany : fine . i 'll keep looking . billy : well , let 's see some of the places that are too expensive . raul : here . i circled 'em . billy : this place on hawthorne does n't look too out of control . raul : mbebeot for you , man . i 'm almost tapped out . brittany : same here . raul : well , at least your parents are gon na help you out . brittany : says who ? when they find out i 'm going to g.c.u . , they 're gon na totally flip out . i would n't be surprised if they cut me off for good . mac : you still have n't told your mom and dad ? brittany : no , i 'm waiting till the last possible second . mac : are n't you supposed to leave for new york next week ? brittany : yes , and thank you so much for the reminder . mac : okay . what about you , raul ? how 'd your parents react when you told them you were n't going to boston ? raul : well , i have n't actually broken the news to them yet . mac : what ? raul ! billy : actually , mac -- mac : not -- not you , too . okay , so let me get this straight . i told my grandma like five minutes after i decided to stay in genoa city , and the rest of you still have n't said a word to your parents ? raul : nope . mac : well , you 're going to . the three of you are telling your parents today . billy : ah , gee . mac : or i 'm going to tell them for you . brad : did n't expect to see you this morning . olivia : well , i was on my way to the hospital , and i thought i 'd bring you some breakfast . brad : that 's what smells so good . olivia : mm - hmm . it 's fresh coffee and those cinnamon rolls you like so much . brad : oh , thank you . do you want to join me ? olivia : no , i shouldn't . brad : busy morning ? olivia : no , it 's just that i do n't want you thinking that i 'm fishing , you know , for an invitation . brad : i was n't thinking that . i 'd welcome the company . olivia : all right . olivia : so how have you been ? brad : okay . please sit down . let me get that for you . olivia : i was really glad that you called yesterday . i ca n't believe what you told me about victor , that he almost found out about abby . brad : yeah , it was a pretty close call . olivia : i have been , um , i 've been thinking about you a lot since -- since the other day . brad : liv , i have n't been avoiding you . i 've just had a lot on my plate . olivia : oh , i know . i know . i totally understand . believe me . it just goes without saying that if you want to talk about anything , i 'm here for you . brad : i appreciate that . olivia : can i ask you something ? brad : mm - hmm . sure . olivia : have you had time to think about everything that 's been going on with you anasashley , with us ? have you made any decisions ? do you know where you go from here ? ( rings doorbell ) ashley : hi . jack : hey , is that what i think it is ? ashley : yeah , my real hair . jack : well , you look great . you 're beating this cancer thing . ashley : yeah , taking it day by day . come on in . jack : i 'm sorry i did n't check in on you sooner . i just figured the fact that i had n't heard from you meant that things worked out with victor . or maybe they haven't . ashley : brad told nikki . jack : about victor being abby 's father ? ashley : she knows the whole story . jack : if she knows , that means -- ashley : victor does n't have a clue . jack : how is that possible ? ashley : believe me . it was n't easy . first , i had to convince brad that victor 's out of the loop , but then we had to get over to the ranch before nikki told victor everything , and thank god we got there just in time . jack : how did you convince her to keep that to herself ? ashley : brad made her realize that if victor does find out the truth , she has as much to lose as anybody . jack : well , thank god you dodged that bullet . ashley : the qststion is for how long ? nikki : it does n't make any sense . you do n't even like diego . why would you help him get revenge on these guys who mugged him ? victor : he put the whole thing in motion without letting me know , all right ? nikki : but you could have stopped it , victor . victor : by the time i heard about it , it was too late . do you understand that ? nikki : i just do n't know why you could n't let the police handle it . victor : because he wanted to settle the score . nikki : talk about juvenile . okay . i have to go . i have a stop to make on the way to the office . victor : where do you have to go ? nikki : if you must know , i 'm going to see ashley . victor : why do you see -- why ? nikki : why not ? you 've done your share of socializing with her . it 's my turn . at least i 'm telling you about it . victor : are you planning to give her a hard time ? nikki : why would you think that ? victor : for the last time , there 's nothing going on between ashley abbott and me . absolutely nothing . nikki : yes , i know . all you have given her is support . victor : for heaven 's sake , nikki , she 's a friend . i once was married to the woman . if something happened to her today , i 'd be at her side again . nikki : yeah , i know you would . victor : are you suggesting there 's something romantic going on between me and ashley ? billy : mac 's right . we need to tell our parents . brittany : i can hear them now . they 're gon na tell me i 'm making a huge mistake . raul : yeah , i 'm gon na get the same speech . mac : well , if it 's any consolation , i still have to tell my dad i want to live with you guys and not my grandma . brittany : oh , he 'll be okay with it , once you make it clear that you and billy are gon na have separate bedrooms . billy : well , let 's face it . we 're all in for a lecture , but they 'll have to deal with it . it 's not like we 're dropping out of school . we 're still going to college . raul : right . we 're just going to a different place . billy : so what are we waiting for ? let 's get it over with . cell phones ready ? brittany : yeah . raul : it 's the pay phone for me . billy : hey , whatever works . remember , we got ta stick together on this thing . one person caves , the whole plan falls apart . everyone agree ? brittany : yeah . billy : all right , let 's start dialing . sharon : i did everything you said , katherine . i acted totally indifferent toward nicholas . i pretended like i was moving on with my life without him . i even offered to sell him my half of the coffee house . kay : and he did n't care ? sharon : on , no , he did . he could n't believe i 'd be willing to walk away from crimson lights since the place used to mean so much to us . kay : well , now that sounds very promising . sharon : that 's what i thought , but then he started pushing all the wrong buttons . kay : what do you mean by pushing all the wrong buttons ? sharon : well , he guessed that the only reason i was acting that way was because you put me up to it . then we argued . sharon : and as he was leaving , he told me to have my lawyers call his . kay : oh , dear . sharon : my marriage is finished , katherine . i do n't know what else i can do . kay : i 'll tell you exactly what you can do . now you listen to me . you pick yourself up and you start all over again . nick : trust me . i did n't do anything i was n't provoked to do . neil : listen , i know you did n't ask for it , but let me give you some words of wisdom from a guy who let his own marriage slip away . nick : look , before you say anything -- neil : i know . i know . i know . my situation was different than yours . my wife wanted a career . i wanted her at home raising babies . what you and i have in common is that i felt like you do -- so certain i was the injured party . nick : you had a right to your feelings . neil : yeah , sure i did , but because i would n't budge an inch , look where it got me . dru took my daughter to europe . i missed out of most of my little girl 's chilooood years , and i lost the only woman i ever really loved . nick : dru 's back , man . neil : yeah , she 's back . she 's back all right . she came back to town with a man , a guy she may be in love with , a guy she might choose over me . what i would n't give to be where you are right now . to know that i still had a chance to get my family back . nick : so what are you saying , man ? i should just forget everything she did ? neil : if it means saving your marriage , damn straight . do you love her ? do you love your kids ? do you want to see your family reunited ? if you do , my man , you 'd better get on this thing right away before it 's too late . nick : look , i appreciate what you are trying to do . neil : yeah , but are you listening to me ? nick : yeah , i 'm listening . neil : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to get too personal with you . nick : i do n't need any more advice , all right ? you do n't know what 's going on in my life . neil : okay , i hear you . i 'm just trying to help you . nick : i 'll see you at the meeting . neil : yeah , see you at the meeting . victor : why 's everyone acting as if there 's something going on between ashley and me ? in this day and age , ca n't a man and a woman have a friendship without everyone thinking that it 's romantic ? nikki : look , you and ashley are not just a regular man and woman . you were married once , and it 's very obvious that you still care very deeply for her . victor : nikki , why do you insist upon turning this into something it is n't ? nikki : you know , the fact that you just ca n't see where i 'm coming from is just more validation . victor : validation for what ? when ashley showed up here the other night with brad carlton , did n't that put your concerns to rest ? i guess it didn't . i guess i was wrong . nikki : well , victor , you 've been wrong about a lot of things . victor : what is going on ? what are you not telling me ? nikki : i have to go . ( door slams shut ) jack : so what happened after you and bradley left the ranch ? ashley : we came back here . jack : he spend the night ? ashley : no , grabbed some things and he took off . i have n't heard from him since . jack : hey , give it time , huh ? ashley : yeah , sure , and what if he ca n't get past this ? jack : hey , it 's no secret . i have never been brad carlton 's biggest fan , but i watched him with you during this whole illness . i saw the kind of character he had . he was there for you . what does that look mean ? ashley : yeah , he was my rock , but as for being totally steadfast ... jack : what are you saying ? he was n't ? ashley : you know , as he was standing by my side , he was also getting involved with another woman brad : where do i go from here ? i 'm not exactly sure . olivia : okay . brad : i know that 's not the answer you were hoping for . olivia : look , no , i have no right to assume anything . brad : you have every right to wonder where things stand between us , especially after what happened the other night . making love to you was amazing . i felt a new level of closeness , a new connection . olivia : i felt the same way . i understand that you have more at stake than i do . i mean , i 'm a free agent , and you , you 've got ... brad : complications ? olivia : right . complications . brad : do you wish those issues were out of the way ? olivia : yeah , that would be great , but you would n't be the man that i know if you just walked away from all of this . you 're being pulled in so many different directions . i mean , for one , there 's abby . brad : that little girl means everything to me . olivia : i know she does . brad : now when i think of her -- olivia : now when you think of her , she 's no different as a result of any of this . she 's as precious to you as she ever was . i mean , come on , you 're her daddy . that 's a fact , and it 's never gon na change . brad : god knows i wan na believe that , liv . but how do i forget who her biological father is ? how do i get past the fact that this man that i detest more than anyone in the world is responsible for helping to create this beautiful , perfect little girl ? he 's part of her . olivia : yeah , and you 're part of her , too . okay , maybe it 's not your blood pumping through her veins , but in her heart and soul , you are the most important man in her life . brad : i 'm a little surprised to hear you say all this . olivia : why ? because you think my pushing you towards abby is gon na push you towards ashley ? well , brad , i 've made a decision . sharon : that 's your advice ? i should just pick up and move on with my life ?

you 're staying because of her . brock : so you 'll be living with friends . mac : three of them , but before i say any more , i want you to know that i 'll have my own room . brock : billy 's gon na be one of your roommates . jill : i am so delighted you 're gon na be staying in town . oh , darling , we have so much to do . we 've got to make arrangements . you 're gon na be moving into a dorm , i assume , and rushing -- billy : wait , mom , hold on . i 'm getting an apartment with some people . jil what people ?

sharon : not very well , i 'm afraid . victor : why , have things gotten worse ? sharon : i 've realized that nicholas really does n't want this marriage , and he may never want it . so for the sake of the children and my own sanity , i have to realize that , and , um , i 've made a decision . victor : what kind of decision have you made ? sharon : i 'm serving nicholas with divorce papers today . man : i 'm looking for nicholas newman . cody : you found him . man : consider yourself served . cody : whoa , whoa . wait a minute . i 'm not nick newman , but this is his coffeehouse . attorney - at - law . what 's this about ?

sharon : it 's the only option i have . victor : oh , sharon . are you sure you do n't want to reconsider ? sharon : there 's nothing to consider . i ca n't spend my life sitting in neutral , waiting for something to happen when i know that it won't . victor : please , listen to me . do n't -- do n't do this now . you and my son have two beautiful children . you have a wonderful family . do n't throw all that away , not now . now that you still can patch things up . sharon : that 's just it , victor . i do n't think we can . victor : what about cassie and noah ? i 've got to tell you , i 've enjoyed it very much having all of you live so close to me . i really hav a and there are very few families that do that these days . sharon : victor , my mind 's made up . victor : sure you do n't want to wait just a little longer ? sharon : i wish i could . i hate that i 'm taking this step , but i ca n't stay in this marriage and keep my own sanity . i have to do this , victor . you see , i have to . so , please , do n't be angry with me . sharon : these last few months have been an absolute nightmare for me , and you 're the only person that i 've been able to count on . i do n't know what i would do without your support . i do n't know how i would have gotten through it . so please ... please do n't turn your back on me now , please , please . victor : it just makes me very sad . ( doorbell rings ) ashley : what a surprise . nikki : i doubt that . i would think you 'd be expecting this visit . are you going to invite me in ? ashley : this is about abby , i take it . nikki : of course it 's about abby . you think you can drop your little bomb about victor being her father , and i 'm just going to disappear into the background ? i do n't think so . no , now you and i e e going to have to deal with each other the rest of our lives . we share a secret that can blow both of our worlds apart , and i think that we need to set some ground rules .

adam : my father 's not doing anything to me . he finally respects me , sweetheart , and it feels good . chelsea : you 're doing his dirty work . adam : i 'm helping him rebuild newman . chelsea : so lying to me is just business as usual ? adam : i 'm not lying -- i was trying to protect you , okay ? chelsea : babe , i 'm looking at you , and i 'm hearing victor . adam : okay . i 'm gon na help my father , okay ? i 'm gon na do whatever i can to help him . chelsea : [ sighs ] adam : and i 'm sorry i kept you in the dark , but now you understand why i had to do it , right ? chelsea : and what do i do , adam ? i just sit back and lie for you ? adam : no , i 'm not asking you to lie . `` lying `` -- it 's a strong word . you know , you can convince marisa that you 're on board with luca 's and my plan . chelsea : you can spin it any way you want . you 're forcing me to lie . adam : okay , first of all , i 'm not forcing you to do anything . i 'm asking you to stand by me . sweetheart , support me , okay ? chelsea : do you even hear yourself ? you just ripped another page out of victor 's playbook . adam : and what 's wrong with that ? abby : it 's your choice . will you value me as the smart , savvy businesswoman i 've become , or are you willing to lose me to uncle jack ? victor : a smart and savvy businesswoman knows that jabot is circling the drain . newman enterprises is soaring to new heights . abby : well , maybe i want to soar with jabot -- be a working part of the team , not just the wind beneath your and adam 's wings . victor : what 's gotten into you ? you 're coo . it 's not just a title . you 're an important part of this company . abby : prove it . you and adam are working on a secret project . i want in . billy : well , it looks like the word 's out . the pudding cups are awesome . victoria : well , for a genius , you sure are having trouble using your words . what the hell is going on ? what is she doing here ? billy : okay . it 's time to come clean . dr. neville : [ breathes deeply ] gorgeous . [ clears throat ] even elegant . ashley : so i 'm going to live ? dr. neville : according to these numbers , you 're gon na do better than that . you 're going to soar . ashley : so all that `` beautiful , gorgeous `` stuff was just about the data ? dr. neville : i 'm gon na need something to show our business partners at this meeting . i mean , they 're expecting progress . i intend to give it to them . and as a businesswoman , i know you see the beauty in numbers . to be honest , no , i was n't just talking about the data . ashley : well , you do n't have to worry about that meeting . those guys just want to make sure their money 's safe . dr. neville : no , i know . it 's not my first dog - and - pony show . they want to see that there 's movement . i intend to give it to them . and then hopefully , our investors will just go away and leave us alone . neil : well , if that 's how you feel , mr. medicine , we can walk away and take the money with us . dr. neville : you 'll have to forgive my off - center sense of humor , mr. winters . the fact is we are making wonderful progress . devon : not according to this . ashley : you know , we 're doing groundbreaking work here . and just because the research is taking some time , it does n't mean that we 're not making progress . neil : devon has invested millions in this company . devon : you know , i do n't need you to really look out for me , thank you . neil : well , that 's exactly why i 'm here -- to protect your interests , son . devon : we all know exactly why this company exists , you know ? ashley : this company exists , this research exists to save people 's lives , so let 's get on the same page , you guys , okay ? jack : this a bad time ? nikki : hilary . hello . hilary : listen , nikki . i know that you and neil are close . you share your sobriety . you guys have been friends for years . i get that . but i would appreciate it if you 'd give him a little space for his personal life . nikki : [ gasps ] oh , i 'm sorry . i believe i 'm a part of that personal life . hilary : he loves me , nikki . so it would be really great if you did n't monopolize all of his time . nikki : neil and i enjoy each other 's company , so why should i stay out of his life ? hilary : what i want is for you to stay out of his bed . nikki : given that you were in a coma not too long ago , i 'm going to forgive your lack of manners . but what neil and i do when we 're together is really none of your concern . hilary : why do n't you just drop the high - society act ? we both know you were a stripper . you might be a newman now , but the only thing that 's changed is your price tag . nikki : that 's really so sad . all your desperation ... for a man you ca n't have . well , honey , neil and i are having an affair , and it 's glorious . ashley : just a healthy difference of opinion . it happens . neil : yeah , it does . just growing pains . dr. neville : and small minds . devon : it 's part of venture capitalism , right ? we 're all in unchartered territory in many ways . just trying to make it work . ashley : exactly . all is well , see ? jack : may i speak with you privately ? ashley : sure . excuse me . neil : hey , hey . devon : what ? neil : how are you doing ? devon : you can drop the whole `` concerned father `` act , okay ? neil : no , no , no . it 's not an act . we 've been through a lot together , devon . it does n't change the fact that i love you . a lot of fathers would n't even be speaking to their sons right now . devon : did you really just say that to me ? i understand i slept with your wife , but you let me believe my wife was dead , and then you slept with her . you really feel like you 're the wronged one in the whole situation ? neil : what are you doing ? why do n't you just talk to me instead of shutting me out ? devon : so i can hear more of your bull ? dr. neville : are you two aware that gwen has quit ? neil : she -- when did this happen ? devon : did she say why ? dr. neville : presumably because of the twisted love lives emanating from you two . neil : i do n't understand this . she never even contacted me . dr. neville : probably because you were too busy with his wife . would you two focus ? this is important . if you 're not careful , ashley , as well as the rest of the world , is going to figure out exactly who is behind hilary 's abduction . neil : maybe that 's exactly what he wants , right ? to have it all come out ? to see me behind bars ? devon : what i really want is just to not have to deal with you . neil : what ? what are you looking at ? dr. neville : i 've been told i 'm not the best arbiter of morality , so i ca n't tell which of you is more culpable . however , i do know this -- he 's your son . billy : your cyber - genius here popped in to apologize for not playing well with others . it 's not a big deal . although , an e - mail next time will work just fine . phyllis : well , the apology is over . i think it 's time to say our goodbyes . natalie : okay , then . later . bye . victoria : nothing that girl does is on the level . so i wonder why she was really here . phyllis : well , she obviously ca n't be trusted -- screwed over billy , she 's the reason why adam was kidnapped , and i 'm just grateful that she cleared out of here before she upset you any further . billy : who 's upset ? i got this . phyllis : all right . i got to go . victoria : you know natalie did n't come here to apologize , because she does n't apologize . she does n't even care that you just came out of a coma . she 's looking out for one person and one person only -- herself . she really has some nerve . phyllis : from now on , you stay away from victoria -- as far away as you can . natalie : i work for newman enterprises . phyllis : and me . and billy . victoria is smart . if you spin too many lies , she will catch you , and she will choke you with them . natalie : wait . victoria 's with billy ? phyllis : it is a long story . yes . it is complicated . natalie : hella complicated . so he 's letting me play the woman he loves so he can steal my program out from under her family ? phyllis : do n't think for one second you can hold this over his head . victor : there is no secret project . i think you 're being overly sensitive now . abby : you should n't be keeping secrets from your coo . victoria : sweetheart , so maybe i assigned a project to adam . has it occurred to you that might have been because i think it is too dangerous , not because it was anything to do with your abilities . abby : and we 're back to the kidnapping that you did n't tell me about because you wanted to protect me . victor : yes ! abby : dad -- [ scoffs ] i walked out of the fire that almost brought this building down . i 've ridden through town naked on a horse . i 'm not afraid of a dicey business venture . victor : why do n't you take over a new division ? or better yet , acquire a new company . abby : it 's almost february , and you 're treating me like a kid at christmas . victor : abby ! come to your senses . just because i assigned a project to one of your siblings does n't mean that i question your abilities . abby : but maybe i do n't want to be sidelined because i 'm not `` adam `` enough . that 's not how i see my future . victor : my darling , if i have made a mistake , if i have neglected you too much , i 'm sorry , but you 're part of this company . you 're a valuable part of this company . abby : i love you , dad . but i think it 's time i do what 's best for me . [ sighs ] and i think right now , what you think is best for newman -- it is n't the same thing . adam : sweetheart , this is -- it 's a new beginning , all right ? i have a chance to take newman in a new direction . we do n't have to be so predatory , so cut- throat . we can be a responsible company like jabot . we can do that . chelsea : like jabot ? adam : yeah . chelsea : yeah , victor 's gon na love that . adam : well , he 'll be right alongside me . chelsea : adam . he is never gon na let that happen ! not unless you are prepared for the battle to end all battles . hilary : neil is just using you to get his mind off of me , so why do n't you just go and run back to your husband ? nikki : excuse me . i 'm not the only married woman at this table . hilary : i -- i do n't love devon , so that 's -- nikki : oh , but you throw yourself at your ex - husband who you cheated on . my goodness . i guess there are things worse than being an ex - stripper . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have an appointment . neil : hi . hey , what 's going on ? nikki : i 'm sure hilary will be thrilled to tell you . neil : hilary . what was all that about ? hilary : i just made a fool of myself . i told nikki to just -- neil : what ? hilary : leave you alone . neil : what -- hilary , come on . do n't -- hilary : i told her to run back to victor because you know what ? i 'm the one that you want . [ scoffs ] i feel like i 'm going crazy , okay ? just , neil , tell me that you love me , okay ? tell me that everything is gon na be okay . just ... please . adam : my father and i are on the same side now . chelsea : until you make noise about wanting to change his company . victor runs newman the way he wants to . you try to get in the way with that , you will be out . or worse . adam : i understand what you 're saying , but you got to admit , he 's been treating me a little differently lately , right ? take the kidnapping , for instance , all right ? how he reacted to that ? chelsea : yeah , he was afraid . adam : right . chelsea : i could see it in his eyes . even though he would n't admit it , he desperately wanted to bring you home . adam : that 's because he finally cares about me . will you trust me ? i know what i 'm doing , okay ? chelsea : you 've been here before with him , adam . it never lasts , and it never ends well . adam : i told you -- listen . this is different , all right ? it feels different . i 'm just telling you that . just be happy for me . chelsea : i am happy for you . i know how important this is for you , but i see what he does . he rewards you for being ruthless and lying and using family as an excuse to take down any kind of competition . adam : that 's because he finally trusts me . see ? that 's proof . chelsea : and that 's really what you want to base your whole relationship on ? phyllis : you have had your fun double - crossing billy . fun is over . do you understand ? natalie : sometimes i 'm glad i do n't like people -- way too complicated for me . phyllis : let me tell you something about people , especially people like billy and me . when we love , we love fiercely , and billy loves victoria like nobody 's business . natalie : but he has no problem lying to her . phyllis : sometimes the people we love do n't understand why we need to do the things we do . natalie : is there a mr. phyllis ? 'cause i 'm feeling bad for him . phyllis : pay attention . i 'm only gon na say this once . billy loves victoria . he needs victoria more than he needs this deal , so you do not say anything to anyone ever , okay ? because if you do ... natalie : off with my head . yeah . can i go back to my computer now ? please . at least i understand that . phyllis : just keep your distance and do your job . billy and i will do ours . billy : natalie is gon na make your dad a stack of bills . what else does he care about ? victoria : if she does n't screw him over first . billy : why does n't that upset me ? victoria : [ sighs ] look , i know she 's up to something , and i 'm gon na find out what it is . billy : let victor worry about it . if he 's gets bitten , it 's his own damn fault . victoria : i think you 're definitely feeling better . billy : yes , i am . so , you know , you can go pay attention to brash & sassy ! 'cause i 'm gon na be fine here . you do n't have to babysit me . victoria : you 're probably right . i have n't been around the office very much the past few weeks . billy : that 's right . and i plan to keep you very , very busy , so you better log in some hours . victoria : now i really want to stay . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : but you 're right . i should go . i should go . thank you for supporting me . billy : mm - hmm . victoria : i ca n't believe you 're actually encouraging me to go to newman . billy : instead of blowing it up ? victoria : yes . okay . bye . billy : bye . phyllis : you almost told victoria the truth , did n't you ? jack : i 've already made offers to billy , to abby . now i 'm extending the same thing to you . we start fresh . rebuild jabot as a family . ashley : i already have a job . jack : jabot needs you , ash . it 's gon na take every one of us to bring jabot back . dad built this company out of courage and strength and a vision that his family could build their own future . come back . work with me . we 'll build a future together . ashley : you 're not allowed to play the dad card , jack . come on . jack : you know me . i am shameless when i want something . ashley : you know how much i love jabot , right ? but my place is here right now . jack : i appreciate the energy , the enthusiasm it takes to start a new venture , but as i see it , neil and devon are at each other 's throats and this neville is unproven to -- ashley : now , look , if i did n't believe 100 % in dr. simon neville , i would n't have gotten in on the ground floor , jack . jack : i understand that . i also trust your instincts to know the difference between growing pains and when it 's time to cut your losses . ashley : i 'm not there . jack : okay . help me understand this . neville is being funded by devon . he does n't need you to do his research . so why are you really still here ? devon : set me up , please . thanks . neil : um , hey , let 's just talk later , okay ? i 'll call you . hilary : okay . devon : [ sighs ] what part of `` stay the hell away from me `` do n't you understand ? neil : i know , devon . i 've made a mess of things . i have . devon : this is gon na fix them . it 's divorce papers . neil : this is not the answer . devon : yeah , well , this is the smartest thing that i 've done in a long time , so -- do me the honors and give them to her . neil : you 're making a mistake . devon : no , i 'm correcting one . neil : [ sighs ] yeah , hi , i 'd like to make a reservation for today . a romantic table for two . ashley : you know , jack , the work i 'm doing here could save lives , and i 'm really committed . i just am . to making a difference . i know our father would support my choice . i hope you will , too . jack : how do i say no to a sister who wants to make the world a better place ? i 'm proud of you . ashley : thank you . hi . abby : uncle jack . hi . going door - to - door with job offers ? jack : your mother is very happy where she is . unfortunately for me . however , you could make my day . abby : well , um , i 've done a lot of soul - searching -- about my future , and , um , i want to do some good in the world . jack : then you 've made a decision about jabot . abby : right , because there 's only two choices -- newman or jabot . look , i do n't want to spend my life choosing between feuding sides of my family because there will never be a right decision . so thank you for the opportunity , but i 'm sorry , uncle jack . i 'm gon na have to say no . jack : grace , clarity , and strength -- just like your mother . i 'm disappointed with your decision , but i truly respect your thinking . ashley : when did my little girl get so smart ? abby : [ laughs ] thank you , mom . well , you know , i want more than just the paycheck . i want to do some good in the world . i want to make a difference . and family is important , too . that 's why i want to work for you , mom . nikki : oh , chelsea , these are absolutely gorgeous . thank you so much for donating them for the auction . chelsea : sure , it 's my pleasure . it 's a great cause . nikki : well , maybe you 'll want to get a little more involved . i have a feeling that you and i might be spending more time together now that adam is working so closely with victor . chelsea : yeah . um , nikki , how do you do it ? nikki : oh , dear . it 's started already , has it ? chelsea : what do you mean ? nikki : i know the signs too well of a woman having to deal with her husband who 's just obsessed with work , money , and the family business . chelsea : so , are you gon na tell me that i 'm overreacting and everything 's gon na be okay ? nikki : honey , i wish i could , but the truth of the matter is you 're in for a lot of late nights , a lot of excuses . there 's always gon na be places that he needs to be instead of with you . [ sighs ] you know , it 's crazy . it 's almost like a mistress , except this other woman you ca n't slap in the face . adam : sorry i 'm late . i got hung up a little bit . victor : oh , there you are . you know , chelsea seemed a little tense . adam : yeah , a little bit . um ... the thing is , she knows about our plan . we can trust chelsea . victor : please sit down . do i need to remind you that it was chelsea who told the world that gabriel bingham was adam newman . adam : adam newman , yes , i know . but that came as a direct result of me lying to her , okay ? so i think the best policy going forward is just complete honesty . victor : let me tell you something about complete honesty when it comes to honesty with your wife and business dealings . business sometimes gets rough and tumble . i think you already have a glimpse of that , do n't you ? so i have always had a policy of protecting my wife from knowing too much about it , okay ? adam : well ... my wife 's a little different . she -- she does n't , uh ... she does n't need protecting . she 's tough . i 'll bring her around . she 'll be with us on this one . victor : really ? adam : yeah . victor : [ sighs ] you know , the risk has just gone up exponentially now . so i think we should finish the damn thing and move on . adam : i could n't agree with you more . that 's why i 'm here . i came to tell you i have come up with our next move . but i need you to trust me on this one , okay ? open your mind a little bit . can you do that ? chelsea : so i 'm competing with something i ca n't beat . nikki : well , you can try to fight back . or you can fight dirty . although , i just got called out on that . ah , things never work out the way you want them to . chelsea : that 's it ? fight back or fight dirty ? nikki : sweetheart , all you can do is love him . as much as i love victor . that 's all you need to do . as far as the rest of it goes , i 'm still trying to figure that out myself . victor : you want me to go away ? adam : no . `` go away `` is so big . it 's a quick little trip , you know ? it 's like a little vacation . when was the last time victor newman took a vacation ? victor : you want me to go away while there 's so much at stake ? adam : i know what you 're thinking , right ? you like to be in the thick of things . think about it -- the big cat leaves town , right ? luca lets his guard down . i convince him this is the perfect opportunity that we strike against our fathers . victor : all right . i 'll go away . you take over . adam : you get it . i wo n't let you down , all right ? victor : you better not , okay ? and i hope that you really want to be part of this company and you 're not just staying because of the secret involving christian 's paternity . [ knock on door ] victoria : am i interrupting ? victor : no , sweetheart . do come in . victoria : [ sighs ] good . because i want you to keep your new favorite acquisition on a shorter leash . adam : that 's my cue . uh , you know , enjoy your trip . victoria : what trip ? victor : i 'm going away for a while , okay ? so i want you to keep an eye on natalie , keep her on a short leash , okay ? victoria : no , no , no , no , no , dad , look . brash & sassy ! 's new launch is happening , billy 's coming home from the hospital , and i do n't have time . i 'm sorry . victor : sweetheart , you 're the only one i can trust . victoria : right . victor : yeah . victoria : meaning that adam is n't available . ask abby . she 'd be perfect for the job . victor : no , she would n't . she just asked for a leave of absence . victoria : she 's leaving ? victor : feeling restless , i guess . she 'll soon realize that newman is where she belongs , okay ? having said that , my sweetheart , you are the backbone of this company . i want you to take over when i 'm gone . victoria : [ sighs ] all right , dad . i 'll keep an eye on natalie . victor : okay . be fair , though , okay ? keep her on a short leash , but be fair . and thank you for taking over for me . i appreciate it . phyllis : you scared me . i thought it was gon na go boom right then and there . billy : i was tempted to tell victoria . but i did n't , and i wo n't . phyllis : we are well past the point of return . if she finds out about this -- billy : yeah , my `` happily ever after `` -- gone . my kids , life as we know it -- that ca n't happen , phyllis . but thank you for having my back . phyllis : you 've got mine . that 's how it works . billy : are we crazy ? phyllis : we are absolutely crazy . but we 're gon na win . this is for jabot . so you get some rest , 'cause we 're gon na need every brain cell we got to pull this off , okay ? hey . what are you doing out here ? jack : ashley turned me down . so did abby . billy adds his no to the list , it 's gon na be just me . and to be honest , i 'm not sure i have the heart to pull it off . phyllis : you got the biggest heart i know of . jack : my dad built jabot so ... so all of his family could work together . i 'm not sure what jabot is without family behind it . phyllis : you are not alone . you are my husband . i sign my checks `` phyllis abbott , `` if you remember . i 'm not going anywhere . neil : now , i have hurt you deeply . i have n't been fair to you or to us . i have been feeling very guilty about being with you . i 've been hurting someone that 's very special to me , and that is my son . but that 's changed . hilary : what 's changed ? neil : devon has already signed off on these divorce papers . all you have to do is add your signature and you 'll be a free woman . abby : there is such a positive vibe in here . it just feels so good . it 's like you 're doing so much good in the world . you 're -- you 're saving lives . well , you 're going to . dr. neville : that is , of course , if we 're ever allowed to actually do any work . abby : yeah . i am all about the work . i ca n't wait to get started . dr. neville : can you do what gwen did ? abby : she quit ? ashley : yeah , it was kind of sudden . abby : well , then , the timing could n't be more perfect . ashley : honey , are you sure about this ? i mean , it is a step down from being coo . dr. neville : that is , of course , if you consider rewriting medical history a step down . ashley : yeah , see , i am gon na be useful and appreciated , relevant . we are gon na be working together as a team -- no more secrets . just working together to make a difference . dr. neville : well , by all means , welcome aboard , abby . abby : thank you . now , tell me everything i need to know about medical research . neil : we can move in together , hilary . we can get married again . i 'll finish building your dream house . and , see , with devon gone , we 'll be free to live our lives however we want . hilary : devon is leaving town ? devon : yeah , he is , with all of his money . he wants to put as much as mileage as he can between himself and his broken heart . now , all you have to do ... is sign that paper . hilary : what is this , neil ? you know , all this talk about our future . this is a ploy to push me back to devon , is n't it ? neil : i want you to look at the future . i want you to understand the man and the love you 're giving up . and i believe if you look inside , you know that you love him . hilary , look at me . you and i are past . it 's not about love anymore . it 's about the guilt that 's pushing you to me . see , i know you want to try to make things work , but we ca n't rekindle what we once had . i want you to be honest . and i want you to search your heart . and i think if you do that , you 'll find the answer . hilary : you 're never gon na love me again , are you ? neil : no . i wo n't . victor : well , i 'll reschedule the meeting when i come back into town , okay ? yep . thank you . nikki : when were you planning on informing your wife about this trip ? victor : it just came up . i 'm sure your friend neil will keep your social calendar very busy . nikki : [ sighs ] victor : what more could you want ? nikki : oh , my god . this has gone on long enough . i do n't want neil . i never did . all i want is you , victor . victor : well , you have a very funny way of showing it . nikki : no . the whole thing was a ruse . neil thought if there was a fake affair that it would drive hilary back to devon , and i stupidly went along with it because i wanted to make you jealous . i -- i wanted you to see me and remember that i 'm your wife and i love you , and i -- i just wanted your attention . that 's all . is that too much to ask ? adam : victor loved my plan . he 's gon na take off for a while . i slam - dunk the santoris , and then newman is all newman again . chelsea : and all is well in the world . adam : [ sighs ] babe , i know you 're not thrilled with this plan , but it 'll be over soon , okay ? chelsea : sure . until there 's another plan and another enemy and another company to take over . adam : it 's just business , babe . chelsea : and what about us ? do we continue on with the great newman tradition -- the other one ? the one where we fight and then we divorce and then we remarry and then we do it all over again ? adam : what are you doing ? i 'm not following here . where is this coming from ? chelsea : nikki was here . adam : i see . chelsea : i do n't want to be like them , adam . i do n't want all the drama . and i -- i do n't want to keep losing you over and over again . adam : baby , you 're not gon na lose me . chelsea : it 's already starting . i 'm already starting to . adam : sweetheart , i 'm -- i 'm , like , at a loss here , sweetheart . i do n't know what to do , all right ?

[ previously_on ] summer : i actually have a job offer . it 's in dubai . kyle : hey , there 's a lot out there for you , summer . go get it . summer : i 'll miss you . kyle : i 'll miss you , too . billy : kerry 's here because & you listened to me and you called her . jack : eh , kerry 's here and kerry 's not here . i just get the feeling i don ' know her as well as i thought . mia : this marriage means more to arturo than it does to abby ! i do n't want to see arturo with a broken heart . nick : then it 's true . you were there that night and you helped cover it up . sharon : no point in denying it now . victor : who are you talking to ? katie : my friend . grown - ups ca n't see him , just me . victor : oh . must be a very special friend . victor : well , what a nice surprise , having you and your mother visit me at the same time . i love that . victoria : when katie heard that we had a business meeting , she insisted on coming back to play with her new friend ? victor : oh , yeah , yeah . our imaginary friend . she and i discussed that last night , did n't we ? katie : he 's real and pretend . victor : oh , yes . well , i suggest you to try to find him now , okay ? and your mother and i have some business to discuss . & all right ? you run along . you know , last night , i found her in the corner . she was talking to someone as if someone was actually there . reminds me of you when you were young . victoria : i had an imaginary friend ? victor : people talking to someone , you know , in an imaginary way is a sign of intelligence . victoria : ahh ! well , shall we get down to it ? victor : yes . victoria : we have a lot of ground to cover . victor : let 's do that now . before we do , there 's something important that i would like to ask you . kyle : opening a restaurant is a very big deal . just figured i 'd take a chance , you might have a couple hours free . and all this hard work is gon na be paying off when people are lining the block to taste your cooking . i 'll miss you more . no , i 'll miss you more . babe , i got to go . somebody just walked in . you , too . bye . hey . summer : hey . kyle : i thought you were in dubai . summer : i was , and now i 'm here . there 's this new invention called air travel . kyle : i see . summer : you did n't have to get off the phone on my account . kyle : you never mentioned you were coming to town . summer : no , it was just a spur - of - the - moment thing . kyle : well , your mom 's working from home today , if that 's who you 're looking for . summer : i came here to see you . we need to clear the air . kerry : what is this , a booty call in the middle of a work day ? it 's very sexy . jack : we need to have a serious talk . kerry : okay . jack : sit down . please . i know i 've told you that over the years , i have enjoyed the company of some pretty amazing women . friends , girlfriends , lovers , wives -- i guess i 've had more than my share of those . i 've also told you that some of them ended in disaster . kerry : well , good thing that 's not gon na happen with us . we 're having too much fun . jack : i want you to know where this is coming from . i have n't always been 100 % honest in those relationships and , in turn , i 've been lied to . does n't matter which side did it . someone always gets hurt . honesty is key . that 's why i was so upset when i thought you 'd been dishonest with me . kerry : jack , i thought i explained all of that . jack : you did , smooth as silk . but i still had this nagging feeling there was something you were keeping from me . now i know that 's true . phyllis : hey , nick . it 's me . i was hoping that we could chat this morning , but you took off pretty early . anyway , um , i really appreciate the way you stood up for me yesterday . i did n't frame victor . and that really meant a lot to me to hear you belive that . i know that you still have some issues with the way i handled things , but i 'm actually working from home today , so , you know , in case you want to come home early and we can talk this out ... if not , i guess i 'll see you tonight . okay . bye . sharon : why are we even having this conversation ? nick : i want to hear you justify what you did . sharon : you know why i did it . your mother killed j.t . i was protecting her . nick : from me ? sharon : we all agreed -- the fewer people who knew about it , the better . & it was a group decision . why are you focusing on me ? have you confronted nikki about this or victoria ? no , i 'm sure you have n't , and i 'm sure you also wo n't go after phyllis because you 're living with her now . the reason that you 're treating me this way is because , with me , you have nothing to lose . nick : do n't psychoanalyze me . sharon : you explain how it makes sense to blame me more than anyone else . nick : because you were the one i thought i could trust the most . additional sponsorship mia : `` congratulations ! `` `` you two look amazing together . `` `` aww , i love how in love you two look ! `` ick . `` whoa , man , moving up in life ! `` [ scoffs ] `` abby newman wants a lap dog , not a husband . are you that hard up for cash , arturo ? a real man like you deserves a real woman . one who 's not obsessed with a mirror . `` [ doorbell rings ] [ sighs ] abby : surprise ! mia : [ chuckles ] kyle : so , what 's this about clearing the air ? i thought we were in a good place . summer : oh , well , as long as i am 7,000 miles away , then that 's a `` good place `` for me to be , right ? kyle : wrong . summer : well , i was kidding . kyle : mm - hmm . summer : sort of . um , i mean , you did strongly encourage me to accept that job offer from my grandfather . kyle : because it was a fantastic opportunity and because you needed a change . that was n't me trying to get rid of you , summer . summer : i knew i was putting a lot of pressure on you to give me a second chance , and , uh , now that i look back , i 'm ... embarrassed . it was so not cool , and , uh , you wo n't have to worry about me doing that anymore . kyle : let me guess -- you 've got a new boyfriend . summer : no , just a new outlook . kyle : uh - huh . summer : and you were right about dubai being a good opportunity . and not just for my career . you know , when grandpa did n't show up , it basically meant that i was completely on my own , which could have been a disaster if i decided to blow it all off and just party . and the old summer , she would have dived right in , but i figured that this was my opportunity to prove myself . you know , to my grandfather , to my parents , to myself , and ... even to you . so i buckled down and i did the work . kyle : and how 'd that go ? summer : you know , kicking butt in business is way better than any party -- who knew ? kyle : hmm . the newman in you has finally taken over . summer : mm . kyle : look out , world . summer : you know , i think i owe you one for nudging me to accept that job offer . i mean , it was more like a shove , really , but ... kyle : yeah . summer : i think it 's what i needed , to get on that plane , and i 'm -- i 'm really happy that i did . kyle : i 'm glad it worked out so well . i know you would have blamed me if it hadn't . summer : oh ! um , yeah , i would like to tell you all about it . are you free for dinner ? sharon : you have no idea how desperately i wanted to come to you and tell you everything . nick : why did n't you ? sharon : i almost did , right before the wedding . i decided i could not get into a marriage with this big of a secret between us . nick : why did n't you follow through ? sharon : why do you think ? when the others found out what i was planning , they hit the ceiling . kept telling me that i was making a terrible mistake . they were relentless . my entire bachelorette party was about them hammering away at me until i caved . nick : i was there part of the night . i ca n't believe i did n't pick up on any of that tension . sharon : well , it was a weird night all - around . nick : yeah , it was . i mean , you were n't the only one keeping a secret . i had one that was eating away at me . sharon : phyllis ? nick : that 's the night i almost confessed to you . kerry : look , if you 're about to make some dire accusation about me -- jack : no , no , no , actually , it 's the opposite . i -- i need to make a confession of my own . kerry : oh , the kind that 's good for the soul ? jack : i was so concerned about whatever it was you were keeping from me that i did something i 'm not proud of . kerry : did you have me investigated ? jack : i looked in your purse . kerry : is this what has so worried ? jack : i am sorry . it was an invasion of privacy . if you have serious health concerns and you do n't want to share it ... kerry : [ laughs ] no , sorry . mia : so , what 's the occasion ? abby : consider it a belated wedding gift . and an apology . mia : whatever for ? abby : when you and rey renewed your vows , it was supposed to be your special day . i had no idea arturo was going to steal your thunder . mia : men ... what do they know , huh ? abby : right ? [ laughs ] i mean , arturo and i , we had never even talked about getting engaged , let alone when or how it would happen . i think he just got swept up in the moment , and i can only imagine how you felt , having your incredibly romantic day stepped on by someone else 's proposal , and i can understand why you would be upset about that . mia : who said i was upset ? abby : well , you did , when you had too much to drink and insulted me . yeah , my first reaction was to say , `` wow , what the hell is her problem ? `` and to tell you off right then and there . but then i thought , you and i , we could just keep going back and forth like this forever . and both sides of my family have always been feuding , and it 's horrible and exhausting , and i do n't want to start my new family that way . so i came here to make amends and start fresh , so ... what do you say about that ? jack : it 's not medicine . kerry : mm , it was prescribed to me by a doctor , but i 'm not sick , and there is nothing to worry about , and that is as much as you need to know . jack : look , if you 're diabetic , if you need insulin ... kerry : i 'm not . jack : okay . kerry : i 'm also not comfortable saying any more . it 's personal , jack . jack : i understand . kerry : i 'm a little taken aback . you were rummaging around in my purse ... jack : i was n't rummaging . your purse was open , i looked inside , but ever since i saw that damn syringe ... kerry : your imagination 's been running wild . jack : i have been concerned . be honest with me . when you told me you were at traffic court , you were really at a doctor 's appointment , were n't you ? kerry : yes . jack : yeah . yeah . kerry : i can see you 're disappointed with me . jack : would n't you be in my shoes ? kerry : jack , i promise you , i will tell you the whole story in time . jack : why are you holding back ? is there methadone in that syringe ? are you in recovery ? kerry : what ? no ! you think -- oh , my god . i 'm not an addict , jack . jack : do n't you know there is nothing you could tell me that would make me think less of you . kerry : all right ! okay ! here it is , the naked truth . i 've been giving myself hormone injections . jack : why -- why would you need hormone injections ? kerry : i 'm getting ready to freeze my eggs . victoria : that 's everything on my end . any questions ? victor : unh - unh . none . i got to tell you that you performed brilliantly during my absence . i could n't be more proud of you . victoria : thank you . victor : now , i think that warrants that i send you and the children on a well- deserved vacation . victoria : [ laughs ] now ? victor : yeah . victoria : no , that 's not happening . victor : why ? victoria : not with you under house arrest and facing murder charges . victor : oh . victoria : it 's simply not a good time to get away , and newman 's outside business partners are feeling a little anxious . i 've been doing my best to reassure them . victor : by the way you have performed brilliantly while i was gone , okay ? that 's what i want to talk to you about . victoria : okay . you have my full attention . victor : [ sighs ] now that most of the world is informed about the fact that i was arrested and i have house arrest , i want you to take over my position . i want you to do all the negotiating with international groups , due all the pr work , and i want you to give everyone the impression that our company is under top leadership . victoria : dad , the role that you 're describing is enormously time - consuming with a lot of overseas travel . victor : so ? victoria : ordinarily , i would say nothing , but when they almost lost their grandmother and no one could locate you for months , the kids were shaken up . victor : oh , gotcha . victoria : for their mother to be gone for long periods of time might be a little rough on them . victor : that makes me sad , to be honest with you . but you know that trips are gon na be very short , and how wonderful , your mother and i can watch out for the kids . victoria : all right . we 'll figure out a way to work it out . and hopefully the charges will be dropped against you soon , and you can return to newman . in the meantime , i 'm willing to step in . victor : that is the answer i wanted to hear . kyle : [ groans ] that 's some serious jet lag . summer : no , no , i 'm fine . actually , i 'll just stop at crimson lights and get a triple espresso on our way to dinner . kyle : about that ... i do n't know if it 's a good idea . summer : why not ? it 's just two old friends catching up . kyle : eh , it would n't be appropriate , summer . summer : your call . kyle : not gon na goad me into it , flirt with me shamelessly , make fun of me ... ? summer : ah , no . this is the new and improved summer newman who respects the boundaries that you are setting . kyle : okay . summer : uh , anyway , i hope i get to see you before i go back to dubai , so ... i 'll just say goodbye now . which , um , are hugs on the `` appropriate `` list ? because i do n't want to cross any lines . kyle : you have my permission . summer : okay . kyle : this time . mia : hot tea for a cold day ? abby : oh . thank you . mia : mm - hmm . so ... apologies . sounds like i owe you one . abby : ah , i understood . mia : it bothered me that arturo hijacked our ceremony , but i should n't have taken that out on you , okay ? arturo can be so reckless sometimes , impulsive . it 's what makes me appreciate rey even more , you know ? he 's a man who considers other people 's feelings , you know ? abby : yeah , um , rey seems like a wonderful guy . mia : [ chuckles ] abby : very patient . mia : he 'd have to be , right ? abby : i hope that you can , uh , forgive arturo . i think he just got swept up in the moment . understandable , since it 's the first time he 's ever really been in love . mia : [ chuckles ] is that what he told you ? abby : yes , it is . mia : i am sorry for the mean things i said at your engagement party . abby : it 's no big deal . mia : that awful crack i made about your wardrobe -- oh , i 'm so sorry . [ sighs ] abby : well , you did n't actually say anything about that , but , um ... mia : oh , i did n't ? oh , well , then , phew ! [ laughs ] abby : you know , i think i owe you an apology , too . mia : sorry , for what ? abby : sitting here talking to you , it just makes me realize that i have a lot more to be sorry for . mia : such as ? abby : i have spent so much time feeling insecure and threatened by your relationship with arturo . i realized that it 's just -- it 's so silly . what you two had , it 's ancient history . my fiancé has put it in his past , obviously . [ chuckles ] mia : [ chuckles ] abby : so we should , too . nick : i came so close to telling you about phyllis . spending the night with her ... but , in the end , i figured ... sharon : what i did n't know would n't hurt me ? nick : that i 'd lose you . and i was right . sharon : it 's telling , is n't it ? here we both had these enormous secrets right before we were gon na get married , and even though we both knew it was wrong ... we could n't bring ourselves to trust each other and be honest with each other . it just proves that neither of us were ready for that kind of commitment . nick : if you did n't have your secret , then i never would have had mine . sharon : what are you saying ? nick : i 'm talking about that night you took off your ring and left it for me to find . sharon : nick , i told you that was n't my intent . nick : then why did n't you put it in , like , your jewelry box or a purse or something ? instead , you left it right where you knew i would find it . now , maybe it was unconscious on your part , but you were sending me a message , and , at the same time , you did n't tell me the real reason why you were so upset about me pretending to be j.t . sharon : okay , i hope you 're not about to say it 's my fault you slept with phyllis . nick : no , of course not . that 's on me , but ... if you just would have come to me instead of covering for everyone else , things would be very different right now . sharon : do you think we 'd still be together ? nick : do n't you ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . kerry : well , what are we gon na do with all this time you had blocked off for this serious conversation , now that we know i 'm not deathly ill ? jack : please do n't make light of this . kerry : i did n't know i was . jack : we need to talk about what you just told me . kerry : you may need to . jack : no , we need to . it 's important . for us . kerry : i think it 's way too early for the subject to even come up for us . jack : but it 's not too early to talk about the idea of having a child . kerry : the idea of allowing myself the possibility of having -- you know what , no , i 'm not gon na do this with you . jack : wait , i 'm not trying to pry here . kerry : can i be very clear about something , jack ? i started this process before you and i even became an item . it 's not so much about making a decision as it is about postponing one . so i can just continue my life the way it is , focus on my work , enjoy my time with you . not worry about what i may or may not want to do years from now . jack : and you think there 's a good chance your priorities might change ? kerry : they might , but they might not . i do n't know , i have no clue . i 'm just giving myself the option . that is it . i 'm also not asking for a single thing from you . jack : okay , look , i am not a stranger to this completely . there was a time i had a cancer scare , and i had to decide to freeze my sperm . kerry : wow . you have had an interesting life . jack : it was a long time ago . i was in a very different place . no , my point in telling you all of this is it is a decision that i considered very carefully . no , i did not have the doctor 's visits , i did n't have the painful injections , but it was not a decision i made lightly . i made it because i thought ... some part of me thought that i might want to have another kid one day . that 's the only reason to go through that exercise . kerry : thank you for sharing that with me . but i still do n't feel that this should be even the tiniest blip on our radar as a couple . jack : i ca n't put this in a box and forget about it the way you obviously can . i did n't know having a child was important to you . i just assumed -- you know what , i should n't have assumed . kerry , this is a lot to think about . kerry : [ sighs ] sharon : it 's not okay for you to come here and say had i broken my promise with nikki and the others that we would still be together . i mean , first of all , that was then , and there was a lot of upheaval , and it 's impossible for you to say how you would have reacted . and secondly , all couples have problems . what matters is how the two people involved handle them . and you handled yours by turning to phyllis . okay , maybe it 's true . if you had known the whole j.t . story at the time ... maybe you would n't have run to her that night . maybe you and i would have gotten married . but eventually , you would have ended up in her because it 's what you always do . nick : i do n't think you can say that . sharon : you 're going to stand here and claim that you did n't have any unresolved feelings for phyllis , even though you 're living with her right now , and she 's helping raise christian . nick : why are we even arguing about this ? it 's obvious we 're not gon na be able to fix it . sharon : look , i know that you 've had to take in a lot of new information , and maybe that 's got you rethinking a few things . but i came to terms with my decisions a long time ago . and maybe i did n't do everything right , and maybe i 'm not entirely happy with the outcome , but ... i 'm not interested in second- guessing myself or wallowing around in regret . so if that 's the position you 're in , i do n't think i can help you . maybe you should ask your girlfriend and see what she has to say . unless phyllis is one of your regrets . victor : why did no one tell me that you were coming home ? summer : uh , no , nobody knew , i just -- i heard that you were arrested , and i had to see for myself that you 're okay . victor : oh . yeah , that 's an unfortunate situation , however , michael baldwin will solve that problem in no time at all . victoria : summer ! hi ! summer : hi ! victoria : when did you get in ? summer : oh , just this morning . victoria : oh , welcome home ! summer : hi ! thank you ! victoria : mmm ! summer : thank you . it 's good to be home . victoria : dad and i were just discussing how proud we are of what you 've accomplished in dubai . summer : thank you . thanks . victor : yeah . summer : i mean , i did n't really work solo . grandma gave me a lot of advice and support . i mean , before her accident , anyway , which ... have the police figured out who ran her down ? victor : no . victoria : no , they haven't . summer : wow , seriously ? they have n't arrested anybody ? victor : must have been difficult for you to wonder about whether your grandmother would pull through or not while you were far away . summer : it was terrible . i was so relieved when dad finally got word to me that she was out of the hospital and at home . victor : i know . you know how happy she would be to know that you 're here ? hmm ? come here . summer : mmm ! victor : she will not allow me to send you away again , i promise you . wait a minute . summer : hmm ? victor : i have an idea . so that victoria 's not overwhelmed taking over for me , i will ask summer to assist you . daddy diaper duty ... mia : i was thinking we could go through these and pull out some things for your wedding . abby : wow , that 's a lot of bridal magazines . mia : oh , well , i do hair and makeup for a living . and weddings are my specialty . of course , i 'll do yours at no charge . abby : that is so sweet , but i do have my own stylist that would just be crushed if i did n't use them . mia : oh , well , i hope you will at least let me show you what i can do . i know you 'll love it . and did you see the pictures of lola and kyle on their date the other night ? abby : i did . she looked wonderful . mia : well , in that case , i need to pluck you in my chair , okay ? give you a little sneak peak . abby : that is so kind of you to offer , but , uh ... mia : no , i insist . come on . go at the desk , let me work my magic on you . abby : uh ... mia : come on , come on . abby : yeah ! [ laughs ] sure , why not ? yeah , that should be so much fun . mia : of course . abby : yeah . okay . mia : let me get my stuff . oh , i just love doing this . here we go . it 's ready here . oh ! brilliant . okay . so , i was thinking ... you could do maybe something like this hair - wise . this will be great for , like , maybe a rehearsal dinner or , you know , you 're going away send - off . something very simple and chic . abby : [ sighs ] mia : ooh , you know what , with the shape of your face ... abby : [ chuckles ] mia : i almost want to see a deep side part with , you know , rolling waves over one shoulder with little rosebuds woven in between . abby : mm , like a `` naked heiress `` revival . mia : [ laughs ] the lady godiva thing ? save that for your honeymoon . [ laughter ] are you wearing a veil ? abby : well , it is my second marriage , so , um ... mia : aww , not so demure , eh ? abby : not quite . mia : oh . abby : but , yeah , maybe -- maybe we could just keep it parted in the center , and then still do the side - swipe thing ... mia : yes ! that would absolutely be stunning , you know ? with or without the rosebuds in between . oh , but you know what ? you need a trim , baby . why do n't i do that for you ? nothing major , just -- why do n't i take care of that for you , huh ? victoria : summer has done a fabulous job in dubai . it would be a shame to pull her off of that fun assignment and throw her into the pressure cooker here . i would have all the visibility , and she would be hidden , and she deserves to be in the spotlight . victor : well , should we ask summer ? do you want to continue working over there ? or would you rather come here and try something new ? summer : [ sighs ] uh , well ... uh , it was an experience , really . victor : uh - huh , i bet . summer : but i think i 'm ready to come home . victor : oh , yeah ? i 'd love that . come here . summer : yeah . victor : that 's what i wanted to hear . yes . we 're all gon na work on restoring our reputation . sweetheart ? phyllis : hi . nick : hey . phyllis : you got my message . i 'm glad you -- i 'm glad you came home . nick : you 're right , there are some things that need to be said . phyllis : last night , when i was in the , uh , guest bedroom , awake , i was hoping that you would come to talk to me . should i have come to you ? nick : i needed some time , you know , to think about everything i 've learned the past few days . phyllis : yeah , it 's been a lot . nick : you know , mom , vick , you , and sharon , i feel like ... [ sighs ] i feel like i know the four of you about as well as anyone could . when i think about this past year and all the lies that you all have told me ... i realize that every decision i 've made has pretty much been in the dark . then i start to think about the what - ifs , you know , the ways that things could have been different if you had just ... clued me in on this from the very beginning . phyllis : it 's been hell , keeping this quiet . you know , just dealing with the police investigation and the threats and the extortion . nick : then another thought occurred to me . what if you had left the girls ' night early ? or did n't go at all ? i know that vick must have been in shock with j.t . showed up there to attack her , and i know my mom did n't mean to kill j.t . , so she must have been really freaked out , too . phyllis : she was . i mean , it was surreal . nick : well , what if they had n't had someone as fierce , as tough as you to lead the charge ? phyllis , i ca n't fault you for what you did that night because i know that if i had been there , i would have done the same thing . to hell with the rules , you were taking care of business . and when i think about what could have gone down that night ... if you had n't done what you did ... my mom , my sister , faith 's mother , they could all be in prison right now if you were n't there . so my overwhelming feeling for you is ... of gratitude . and love . phyllis : thank you . thank you . nick : i love you . i have some regrets about the way we got together , but i do not not regret , at all , that we are together . phyllis : [ laughs ] thank you . summer : okay ! my virgin eyes . nick : hey . phyllis : summer ! summer : hi . nick : what -- where 'd you come from ? summer : mm , your front door . phyllis : well , we did not have an idea that you were due back from the middle east . summer : yeah , no , i timed it especially so i could walk in on you getting frisky . it 's kind of become our tradition . phyllis : well , we 're excited to have you here . believe me , we are . but next time , maybe a phone call , maybe a knock . summer : yeah , that might be a little cumbersome since i 'm moving in . but maybe we could just compromise and you guys could be a little bit more discrete . nick : you 're moving in ? phyllis : when was this decided ? nick : why not your condo ? i mean , you do n't want to stay there ? summer : uh , no , because when i went to dubai , i sublet it . this was supposed to be a quick trip , but grandpa decided to transfer me back to genoa city . which is cool , right ? i mean , you and mom are always talking about how much you miss me , so i knew you 'd be thrilled when i decided to stay here with you . nick : mm - hmm . kerry : sorry about the interruption , but , as i mentioned , these injections have to happen on a very strict schedule . jack : kerry -- kerry : i can already tell you 're not gon na like what i have to say . this does not have to be a big deal for us , jack . jack : i hear you minimizing this , but i see the effort and expense you 're going through to harvest and freeze your eggs , all the thought that must have gone into that , and i have to assume that it 's pretty important for you to be a mother someday . kerry : there you go . assuming again . jack : am i wrong ? kerry : if i said yes , would you believe me ? jack : look , this is your life , your decision . i respect that . but you and i are in a very different place . my kids are grown . seems like we have different goals . kerry : no . not necessarily . definitely not in the short - term . jack : as much as i hate saying this ... maybe you 're with the wrong guy . victoria : katie , let 's go ! you do n't want to be late for your party ! victor : katie ? where is she ? victoria : i do n't know , maybe she 's watching a movie . victor : let 's take a look . katie ? victoria : katie , where are you ? katie : shh ! i wo n't tell . victoria : there you are ! victor : there you are . victoria : let 's scoot . come on . victor : we 've been looking all over for you . victoria : ready ? mia : there 's not a lot of , like , plunging backs and a lot less skin . mia : mm . abby : everything okay ? mia : sure ! yeah ! sorry . i just got distracted there for a second , but , um , hey , i 'm all done . abby : well , great , um , i should , uh -- i should really get going . mia : yes , here , let me get that for you . abby : but , hey , i 'm glad that we had this visit . i think it 's important for you and i to make peace . it 's important for the family . mia : absolutely . abby : okay , great , uh ... mia : yeah !

paul : sorry to come by so late , jack . jack : not at all . i am a little confused . you came looking for adam here ? paul : yeah . uh , do you have any idea where he might be ? jack : far as i know , he and his family left for france . paul : well , he never got on the plane , and the flight was grounded . jack : victor . it 's a last - ditch attempt to keep his grandson in this country . what has he accused adam of now -- insider trading , stock manipulation ? what ? paul : there is a warrant for adam 's arrest . we have every reason to believe that he was the hit - and - run driver that killed your niece .

[ crying ] adam killed delia . [ scene_break ] adam : billy , i have had the thought many times in the last few months that i do n't deserve to live . billy : people who think that -- they do n't get married , run off to paris , and buy a house . adam : i thought i could have a life , a family , just catch a glimpse of what other people get . because that 's all it would be for me -- just a glimpse . the truth would eventually come out . everything would come crashing in for me . billy : am i supposed to feel sorry for you ? is that what you 're trying to do ? adam : i 'm not asking you for anything , billy . i 'm taking responsibility . billy : yeah ? well , i do n't buy that , either . adam : i should have come forward after the accident , and that 's what this was . it was a terrible , terrible accident . the crime was in me not owning up to it . i just wanted a -- i just wanted to be regular . i wanted a family . i wanted to be with my son , finally . i did n't want to miss another minute . billy : well , now you 're gon na miss minutes . you 're gon na miss hours . you 're gon na miss years . i promise you that .

[ scene_break ] jack : i 'm sorry , paul . there 's no way . adam is a lot of things . he is not a killer . no way ! he would not hit a kid and then drive away . that 's crazy ! paul : jack , i have gone through all the evidence myself , and it all points to adam being the alleged driver . jack : come on . how many people out there have a black suv . ? paul : well , i can quote you an exact number , and we have checked every single one locally with a partial plate provided to us by a witness . jack : a witness ? somebody actually saw it ? paul : he was reluctant to come forward at first , for legal reasons , but he finally did . and the information that we garnered narrowed the list down significantly . and i will also tell you we traced some posts on a message board back to adam 's ip address . he was interacting with billy in a grief chat room , sympathizing with the driver . billy : it 's just adam used that exact same phrase a few days ago . i believe it was `` balancing the karmic scales . `` and so did this other guy on this chat room -- this chat room i 've been going to for parents who are grieving over a lost child . it 's a hell of a coincidence , do n't you think ? paul : jack , i know how difficult this is for you to hear , but if adam is our assailant , you at least have the comfort in knowing that he can finally have some closure . [ scene_break ] billy : i brought you to this cold , dark bend in the road because this is where i found my daughter . this is where i held her hand . this is where i told her that she was gon na be okay . that 's what i told her , and it tears my guts out that the last thing i said to my daughter was a lie . i do n't know . i thought maybe if you came here , stood in the spot where my daughter died , and i heard you confess , that i 'd get something out of it -- i do n't know -- i 'd feel better , but i do n't . i feel exactly the same . adam : you know what 's gon na make you feel better ? is if you take me to the police station and you see me in cuffs . billy : like prison is gon na be any sort of punishment for someone like you ? you 'll still have a life . you 'll still get to see your kid grow up . it might be in pictures , but you 'll get to see him grow up . i do n't get to do that . my daughter 's dead . she 's dead . all that goodness , all that happiness , all that potential is gone because she 's dead because you left her here on the side of the road , and i would have killed you right there -- adam : but i did n't know , billy . i did n't know , i swear to you . look at me . i 'm telling you i did n't know . now just take me to the police station , okay ? billy : you keep trying to sell me on that . you and i both know that 's not gon na make me feel better . adam : what 's gon na make you feel better -- if you put a bullet in me , you let me bleed out in the snow here ? billy : yeah , i think so . adam : not for long . billy : long enough . adam : you need to think about this , billy . you need to think real hard . think . you 're a father . you have a son . his name is johnny . you have the chance to watch him grow up . you do n't have to do this . you kill me , you go away to prison . what kind of sense does that make ? ! that does n't solve anything ! you send me to prison . you send me to prison , okay ? you get your justice , and you get your son . that is what you need to do . billy : do you feel that ? do you know how badly i want to pull this trigger and end your life ? start walking . [ scene_break ] chelsea : if the police find that , they 'll put your daddy in prison for years and you 'll grow up without a father . how could i not know ? how could i fall in love with this man all over again and not realize what was going on ? i should have asked him . i should have asked him . when i saw that he was acting so guilty , i should have insisted he tell me why . [ crying ] how did i not figure it out ? how did i not figure it out ? what if the police do n't believe me ? what if -- what if the police do n't believe me that i did n't know , that adam did n't tell me about his crime ? of course they wo n't believe me . why would they ? i mean , i 'm a con artist . and they might put me in prison , too , and then you 'll be all alone , and then it 'll be jack and victor fighting to raise you , and you 'll just be ripped from my arms .

[ scene_break ] adam : need help with that ? billy : man , shut up . adam : buckle up . roads are slick . billy : you drive carefully . adam : where are we going ? billy : [ sighs ] adam : billy , you can put that gun away . i 'm cooperating , and you 're not gon na shoot me anyway . billy : yeah ? how do you know that ? adam : 'cause you would have done it back where we were . how is the next place we 're going to more fitting than the last ? billy : maybe the next place is more fitting to hide a body . you ever think of that , smart guy ? adam : you 're not that practical . you 're not thinking things through . you 're acting on impulse . that 's what you do -- sloppy , poorly thought out . billy : i 've played poker with you , adam . i know when you 're trying to put me on tilt . maybe your plan is i get riled up , reckless , you grab the gun . is that what you 're thinking ? well , you know something ? since delia died , i 'm always on tilt . come on , man ! look , you watch the road . what are you trying to do , huh ? huh ? go off the side of the road , maybe , hit a tree or something ? i 'm not in a seat belt and i go out the windshield . that 's not gon na work now . i promise you i will shoot you before i leave this car . now , you watch the road . watch the road !

[ scene_break ] avery : i ca n't answer your question , jack . jack : oh , please do n't tell me attorney - client privilege . if adam caused her death , he does not deserve the protection of the law , and you certainly should n't be hiding behind it ! avery : i 'm not ! this is the first that i 'm hearing that adam could have been driving the car night . jack : paul says there 's some very compelling evidence . avery : okay . well , wait . wait , because i have defended many people who have been accused and convicted of crimes they did n't commit based on so - called evidence . jack : oh , believe me -- i want to think this is all some tragic mistake , but when i think about what adam 's done in the last month -- making me guardian , taking off for france with his family out of nowhere -- it makes sense . he felt the walls closing in . avery : every suspect is innocent until proven guilty . [ sighs ] but i have to admit , when adam asked me to draw up those papers , it did raise certain questions . jack : then you agree those papers were more than just adam protecting his son from victor . [ scene_break ] paul : and make sure all units know to keep an eye out for billy abbott , as well . he is possibly armed . victoria : make your men understand that billy is not a criminal here . he 's a distraught parent who wants his daughter 's killer brought to justice , okay ? paul : that 's understood , victoria , but it 's not up to billy to dole out justice . victor : paul , with all due respect , i think my son - in - law was getting impatient waiting for you to do your job . i kind of understand the feeling . kevin : look , we 're getting very close to making an arrest . paul : you know , it might help if you would tell us what you know . victor : meaning what ? paul : jack saw you and adam at the courthouse . victor : how is that relevant ? paul : did he mention anything about his plans ? victor : [ sighs ] adam was about to leave town okay ? leave for paris . i do n't want to lose contact with my grandson . i tried to convince adam to change his mind and stay here . paul : and convince him how ? victor : well , i talked to him about family . i told him that if he took that boy to paris or anywhere else away from this family , the boy would grow up with a feeling of always looking from the outside in and that would be sad and tragic because that 's what adam did , and i would think that any parent would n't want that for his child . [ scene_break ] billy : pull over right here . adam : what are we doing here ? billy : i was thinking about what you said -- how you had a glimpse of the life that you could have had with chelsea and connor . well , i want you to get a glimpse of the life that you took . take a look . this is delia 's school . you see those double doors ? they lead to the auditorium where my daughter made her big debut as the wicked witch of the west . you see , delia was a star , man . she brought down the house . when she walked off that stage , she had the biggest smile you 've ever seen on a kid , and it did n't take much to make delia happy , but that night -- that night -- that was the best night of her life . you say you have nightmares about my daughter -- you see her in your dreams ? you think about her here , not on the side of the road . that 's the image that should haunt you . a little girl so full of joy , so full of life -- that 's what you destroyed . now , your son -- i imagine he 'll go to this same school . he 'll walk through those same doors . he 's gon na have good days . he 's gon na have bad . but he 'll still be alive . he 'll be living . and you , adam -- i promise , you 're not gon na see any of it . adam : because i love you , peanut . i love you so much . you are the answer to every question i 've ever had . you 're my redemption . but when i look at you now , i ... [ sniffles ] i see delia looking back at me . [ scene_break ] chloe : he said her name . [ crying ] how dare he think to say her name ? why did he leave her on the side of the road ? chelsea : adam said he did n't know that -- chloe : really ? you believe him ? chelsea : i am so -- i 'm so sorry , he did this , chloe . i 'm so sorry . chloe : i told you to stay away from him . i told you not to tell him the truth about connor . you did n't listen to me . chelsea : i loved him . chloe : why are you protecting him , chelsea ? chelsea : i 'm not . i 'm not . i could n't if i wanted to , chloe . but wh -- you saw the tape . i mean , he 'll be put in prison , so -- chloe : if they can find him . they do n't even know where he is . i mean , he could be halfway to dubai right now with a phony passport . you ca n't let this happen . chelsea : if he 's determined to run , there 's nothing i can do . chloe : yeah , but you 're his wife and you have a son , you know ? i mean , he will listen to you . you convince him to come home . you know , call him . call him and tell him that -- that you forgive him and that you understand and that his little boy needs him . chelsea : you want me to use my son to get adam back ? chloe : you owe me , chelsea . chelsea : you expect me to lie ? chloe : [ crying ] i expect you to do whatever it takes to get justice for delia . [ scene_break ] dylan : hey . how 'd it go ? when you were on the phone , i could tell from the tone of your voice something bad happened . avery : dylan , i can hardly breathe . i 'm still in shock . dylan : okay . just start from the beginning . avery : the police are looking for adam . they think that he 's the driver that hit delia . kevin : i just checked the security footage from adam 's building . billy 's car has been parked there for several hours . victoria : meaning he 's already confronted adam . kevin : well , if he did , it did n't happen there . i spoke to the cop who 's on duty , and he said there 's been no sign of either of them . victor : and i was at adam 's place just after he had left , and chelsea did n't know where he was . kevin : does chelsea know ? paul : okay . if billy were bringing adam back here , they would be here by now . is there someplace else that billy might take adam -- somewhere more remote ? victor : yeah . the abbott cabin . paul : that 's a good point . i 'll have a patrol check it out . victor : but i think you 're missing what is right in front of you , paul , with all due respect . billy abbott wants justice , okay ? paul : victor , i have to cover my bases . but if i were your son - in - law , i know exactly what i 'd do . victoria : what ? paul : i would take that sob who killed my child back to the scene of the crime . [ scene_break ] billy : i used to love picking her up from school . she 'd tell me about her day on the car ride home . she 'd ask me a million questions . man , that kid was so smart . [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : adam ? are you there ? it 's me -- chelsea . i saw the tape . [ crying ] i know everything , and i understand now why you 've been drowning in guilt . that 's why you 're not talking right now , right ? 'cause you do n't know what to say to me . and that 's okay . adam , what happened that night with delia -- it was a terrible , terrible accident . but i - i - i still love you and [ sniffles ] and we 're still a family . and if you just come home , then maybe we 'd be able to -- chloe : is he coming ? chelsea : i do n't know . [ sniffles ] he did n't say a word . [ scene_break ] billy : oh , boy . that crushed you , did n't it , hearing her say that she knew ? adam : [ sighs ] billy : that would just kill you to have to tell everybody that you care about face - to - face -- your father , sharon , avery , my brother -- have to tell them what you did . you left a little girl on the side of the road alone to die . and then , you know , you 'd have to face chloe -- look her in the eye , tell delia 's mother what you did . billy : as a matter of fact , drive . [ scene_break ] [ doorbell rings ] nikki : how did you get past security ? ian : [ chuckles ] well , lovely to see you , too , nicole . i rang the bell this time so you would n't be so startled . may i come in ? nikki : no , you may not . i hope you 're here to tell me you 're leaving town . ian : why would i do that ? i just got here . genoa city is far more intriguing than i remembered it , especially after having the immense pleasure of meeting our son . nikki : you stay away from dylan . he wants nothing to do with you . ian : yeah , because of all the stories you 've regaled him with , no doubt . nikki : i told him nothing but the truth . ian : you made our time together sound like a nightmare . but the young man i spoke with - he 's living proof that whatever happened between us , nikki , could n't have been all bad . [ scene_break ] dylan : so , adam killed delia ? avery : he 's done so many reprehensible things , but this -- dylan : he must be in hell . avery : why do you say that ? dylan : because he 's a father . i mean , adam has to know the pain he 's caused billy and victoria and everybody else who loved her . poor connor . avery : i know . dylan : [ sighs ] dylan : no , no , no , no , no . no . i understand . but i think we should still be together ... especially now . avery : yeah . okay . [ scene_break ] chelsea : all i ever wanted was to give my son a stable home . i love being a mom . i am so sorry , chloe . chloe : [ sighs ] you 're not alone . i 'm still your friend . [ sighs ] and connor will have a stable home ... 'cause his godmother is gon na be here to help every step of the way . chelsea : [ sighs ] jack : what are you worried is going to happen to you ? [ scene_break ] adam : just chalk it up to having a son and having a new outlook on life . jack : on one hand , adam , i can count the number of times i have seen you this agitated . in every case , there 's something serious going on . adam : so just tell me that my son will always be protected . jack : [ sighs ] let me get this straight . is this really just about peace of mind , just in case , or are you in some kind of trouble ? if you are , i want to help . jack : oh , my god . you killed my niece , and you did n't say a thing . you just got all your ducks in a row . [ scene_break ] victor : my son ? jack : yes , your son , who wants nothing to do with you -- your son , who would gladly have thrown you out of that ceremony on your arrogant posterior if you were n't holding something really serious over his head . i just wonder what that is . damn you , victor . you knew . you knew it was adam all along . [ breathing heavily ] paul : if anyone needs me , i 'll be at the accident site . victoria : i 'm going with you . paul : no , you 're not , victoria . that 's not gon na happen . victoria : i 'm the only one that billy will listen to . i have to go with you . paul : this is official police business . victoria : paul . paul ! paul : make her comfortable and make sure she does n't leave until i get back . victoria : daddy , we talked about this . we talked about this ! victor : you will not -- victoria : i need to go ! victor : it is far too dangerous . victoria : i do n't care ! i have to go ! i have to go ! victor : sweetheart , i said no . victoria : it 's my husband , and i need to be there for him ! victor : i said no . victoria : daddy ! victor : it is too dangerous . come on . victoria : [ sobbing ] oh , god . [ scene_break ] adam : so , you want to take me around to everyone , make me confess , take me around like a dog , make me sit up , roll over , speak ? billy : yeah , i guess i am . i guess i am . adam : what would be the purpose of that ? billy : well , adam , i want everybody to remember what you did so they 'll keep you away from children , especially yours -- no visits in prison , and when you get out , they 'll keep connor away from you for the rest of your life . and even if somehow you manage to avoid prison , all those people you care about -- believe me , they 're gon na band together , and they 're gon na keep you away from your boy . i 've got one goal here , one single , solitary goal -- make sure you never see connor again . adam : misplaced anger . you want to blame me for everything . billy : oh , you are to blame . adam : am i ? am i completely to blame , or is there somebody else there with me , huh ? what was that little girl doing on the side of the road in the dark at night ? who was the person who left that little girl all alone in the car ? billy : you should shut up . adam : hmm ? billy : you should shut up . adam : sounds to me like there 's somebody else who shares the blame . tell me something , billy -- was that you ?

[ cell phone rings ] christine : christine williams . what do you got ? christine : all right . got it . thanks . paul : what 's up ? christine : we may have just found that real evidence . phyllis : when i found out about you and jack , i wanted to punish you . when he asked me to marry him again , i rubbed it in your face . kelly : it was really cruel of you to ask me to organize your engagement party , phyllis . phyllis : it was meant to be . and instead of accepting that jack chose me over you , i just let it go . i needed to be petty and vindictive . and instead of focusing on the good things that i had when i came back , i did n't , and for that , i 'm very sorry . kelly : [ scoffs ] what about all the other things you did ? what about the blond wig ? what about posing as me with the florist so you could humiliate me with jack ? what about putting poison in my tea ? are you gon na apologize for any of that ? ! phyllis : i 'm sorry . i said i 'm sorry . maybe i should have realized it is true what they say -- you ca n't go back home again , so i wo n't . kelly : what does that mean ? phyllis : you take care of jack . adam : well , i tell you what -- i was n't planning on running in to you guys , but why do n't you , uh -- why do n't you come on by ? you can be my first guests . this 'll be great . chelsea : uh , you know , i should get home . my mom 's babysitting , so ... adam : you sure ? 'cause the seller left me this amazing bottle of champagne . it 's spectacular . i could twist your arm . you could come in . we could celebrate the move . billy : really , some other time . chelsea : you know what ? all right . one drink , billy . it ca n't hurt . adam : one drink ! it ca n't hurt ! this is excellent ! all right . come on in . billy : nice . all right . chelsea : wow ! adam : yeah . so ... i would offer you guys a seat , but , as you can see , there are n't any . billy : that 's no problem . it 's like chelsea said . we wo n't be staying long . we can drink standing up . chelsea : what a great space ! adam : yeah . yeah . it 's not bad . i mean , it 's a little cavernous at the moment , you know ? chelsea : well , i 'm sure eventually it will start to feel like home . adam : yeah . actually , you know what ? it occurs to me you 're probably the perfect person to help me with that . nick : what else besides mom 's m.s . would make her feel dizzy and weak ? victor : she 's been under a lot of stress lately . nick : yeah . i know my situation with sharon is n't helping , among other things . victor : let 's not get into that , son , okay ? nick : dad , i 'm just saying ... victor : i know what you 're saying , but there 's nothing to it . nikki : well , nicholas , thank you again for bringing me home . as you can see , i 'm fine , so you do n't need to stay . your father 's here . nick : okay . let me know what the doctor says and if you need anything , okay ? nikki : i will . nick : love you . nikki : love you , too . nick : dad . victor : okay , my boy . so , sweetheart ... nikki : well , parents are supposed to ... look after their children , not the other way around . victor : in this case , our son 's worries are warranted , okay ? nikki : obviously , he told you what happened . we do n't really need to rehash it . victor : sweetheart , this is a serious situation . you have been under a lot of stress lately . i 'm beginning to wonder how you 're coping with it . victoria : look , i did n't ask you to move in because billy and chelsea seem so ... stitch : happy ? victoria : i was gon na say , `` settled . `` but , either way , it 's great . it 's wonderful , because it 's good for johnny . and i also did n't ask you because i 'm afraid of living on my own . i 've gotten pretty good at living on my own . i made this sweet , happy home for my family . we do n't depend on anyone . i do n't need a man in my life to make me happy . there 's only one reason that i asked you to share my home with me . i love you . stitch : [ scoffs ] i 'm sorry . say that again ? [ chuckles ] victoria : you heard what i said . i know i have n't said it before , maybe because i did n't realize how much until now . i love you , ben . chelsea : help you with what ? adam : well , i mean , i do n't know the first thing about decorating or furniture placement or design or anything like that , and you 've got such a great eye . it 's just , uh , like , for instance , um , for me , i was just thinking maybe ... i mean , where do i put the sofa ? just , like , sort of throw it over there , maybe ? billy : in -- in front of the window . adam : yeah , yeah , in front of the window . what do you think ? chelsea : well , if i 'm not mistaken , that 's facing west . adam : uh - huh . chelsea : so , you 're gon na be getting a lot of sunlight coming in . it 's gon na get really hot , and it 's gon na fade the fabric . adam : uh - huh . chelsea : besides , would n't you rather face out so you get a good look at your whole view ? adam : see , now , that -- that 's why i 'm the marketing guy and you 're the designer , 'cause i do n't -- chelsea : well , furniture placement is really all about the style . all the penthouse units in this building -- they have really high ceilings . adam : okay . chelsea : so , you can do things on a massive scale if that suits you . adam : i like that . chelsea : are you more of a contemporary person , or do you like , you know , antiques and traditional pieces ? are you more about the drama or the muted elegance ? adam : i have no idea what you 're talking about . see , that 's what i 'm saying . that 's why i would need you . i do n't know what any of that means . billy : so , uh , what about your girlfriend ? would n't -- would n't sage want to have a say in all this ? nick : hey . sage : hey . you off to the gym again ? nick : yeah . i 'm gon na work off some tension . the custody hearing 's tomorrow . sage : man , i 'm so sorry about that again . if i caused any problems with the wet clothes and faith 's misunderstanding -- nick : no , no , no . hey , hey . do n't worry about it . if sharon 's gon na make an issue out of this , i 'm sure the judge will see it was just a big misunderstanding . sage : yeah , i hope you 're right . nick : oh , i 'm right . sage : [ chuckles ] nick : um ... you know , there was something else i wanted to talk to you about . sage : yeah ? what is it ? nick : the other day here , i saw you arguing with gabe . i know it 's none of my business , but if you 're uncomfortable at all with this arrangement that you guys have -- sage : no , no . we 're fine . we are very clear about our arrangement , and it just has to be like that for now , but i really appreciate your concern . you 're proving to be a great friend . bye . jill : should you be drinking if you 're in treatment ? michael : okay , let 's shut that down . there 's nothing wrong with my liver , and i have my doctor 's blessing to take the occasional drink . see ? lauren : that 's right . he started running again . jill : running ? you 're kidding . lauren : mm - hmm . no . he started this crazy fitness regime . michael : there is nothing crazy about getting in shape . however , on the other hand , taking on victor newman , thinking you 're going to outsmart him -- yeah . jill : i know . i know . katherine 's probably up somewhere on a cloud , laughing her fool head off at the mess she 's left me in . michael : i 'm sorry . hold on .

[ doorbell rings ] jack : uh , listen , i got somebody at the door . call me if you hear from phyllis . michael : absolutely . jack : thank you . jack : kelly , you should n't be here . kelly : i 'm sorry . i just had to see you . i know you must be really upset about what 's going on with phyllis , but i think it 's for the best . jack : i do n't know what you 're talking about . kelly : do you mind if i come in ? jack : uh ... yeah . when you say , `` for the best , `` i do n't know what that means . kelly : well , i know i told you that i was n't gon na press charges . i know i told you that , but ... now that phyllis has confessed to me -- jack : wait , wait . conf -- confessed ? when ? where ? kelly : well , just now in the park . jack : damn it . kelly : jack , i do n't think that you 're gon na find her there . it looked like she was going out of town -- for good . adam : yeah . you know , you 're right . sage will have her opinions , of course , but chelsea 's an artist . you 're a designer . that 's what you do for a living . you got a flair for this sort of thing . sage : honey , i 'm home ! adam : perfect timing . sage : hi . adam : perfect timing . uh , actually , um , i was just gon na open up this bottle of champagne for our guests here . sage : that sounds like a great idea . adam : yeah . sage : i 'm very sorry that i was n't here to welcome you . chelsea : no , it 's okay . we were headed home , and we bumped in to gabriel , who told us he 's moving in . sage : we 're moving in . chelsea : oh , right . of course . that 's awesome . congratulations . sage : thanks . billy : well , i think we 've long overstayed our welcome here , so ... adam : no . you guys , come on . there 's a whole bottle of champagne sitting there . sage : if they want to go -- adam : it 's good champagne ! chelsea : another time . another time . but , really , congratulations . sage : thanks . chelsea : and i have a bunch of decorating magazines . i 'd be glad to drop them off for you guys . adam : okay . yeah . that 'd be great . sage : that 's great . chelsea : all right . we 'll see you . have a good night . sage : thank you . billy : take care . sage : do you think this is a good idea -- getting a place right next door to chelsea 's ? with tipton on our case , you ca n't get caught coveting your neighbor 's wife . adam : i 'll take my chances . sage : all right . just do n't ruin my chance of getting that inheritance . so , now ... where 's our bedroom ? nikki : how am i not coping ? victor : you 're not taking good care of yourself . you 're not sleeping right . you 're not eating well . nikki : i 'm fine . victor : you 're not fine . you 've been under a lot of stress , okay ? and i take some of the responsibility for that . nikki : you do ? victor : yes . i know that you 're worried about me selling that warehouse district , okay ? and if i sell that , then , obviously , dylan 's gon na lose crimson lights . so i 've decided to back out of that deal . i will not sell that warehouse district , and he can keep his crimson lights . nikki : really ? yesterday you were so adamant about it . victor : sweetheart ... [ sighs ] that was yesterday . today i know that you 're suffering very much for my wanting to sell that warehouse district , and i wo n't do it because i want to spend many tomorrows with the woman i love . nikki : oh , victor , thank you ! [ chuckles ] thank you so much . victor : you 're welcome , sweetheart . jack : [ breathing heavily ] phyllis : how 'd you find me ? jack : kelly told me . phyllis : oh , well , she did n't waste much time getting to your front door . jack : i 'm just grateful that you 're still here . i got your note , by the way . `` forgive me `` ? really ? phyllis : jack ... jack : the answer is no . you slink out of town this way , i do n't forgive you . neither does summer . phyllis : i left before when it was n't my choice . everyone did just fine . jack : this is different , and everyone was not just fine . do you have any idea how much it means to us to have you back in our lives ? we 're not going to lose you again . phyllis : well , you just might . i could go to prison . jack : i wo n't let that happen . phyllis : how are you gon na do that , jack ? look , see , i am trying to spare you and summer some pain here . jack : by just taking off without saying goodbye ? how is that sparing us pain ? and what about your pain ? walking away from everyone you care about , everyone you love , this time with your eyes wide open -- you would know what you were missing . what kind of existence is that ? phyllis : i - i ca n't be locked up . no . jack : i wo n't let that happen . phyllis : how can you guarantee that to me ? you are in no position to help me . jack : the case against you is circumstantial . any lawyer worth his salt would tell you that . whatever you did to kelly is because of this experimental treatment you went through . i can get you the proper medical help . i can protect you . but you have to trust me . phyllis : i want to , jack . jack : do . let me take you back home . [ knock on door ] christine : did i.t . restore the damaged footage from when kelly was poisoned ? paul : it turns out it was n't damaged after all . someone intentionally tampered with it . come here . look . christine : who ? paul : this footage was taken from the club security office , right before the system shut down and the feed was lost from the dining room . now keep watching . let 's see . the woman enters from the door and goes straight to the control panel . look how she keeps her head down . she does n't want to be seen . christine : but that red hair is unmistakable . it 's phyllis . nikki : i appreciate this so much . victor : you mean the tea i brought you ? nikki : [ chuckles ] well , yeah , that , too , but i was referring to you choosing me over business . victor : sweetheart , how often have i told you that every decision i make is for my family ? i mean , i hope it finally dawns on you . nikki : yes , it did . victor : let 's concentrate on getting you well , okay ? go .

jack : i 've been expecting a visit from legal all day . it 's late , and we have n't closed the fenmore deal . ashley : you already came to terms with lauren . the meeting with michael is just a formality . jack : i want signed contracts before lauren surprises me with any more leverage . bringing eric forrester into this was just dirty work . ashley : come on . and eliminating her investors -- what would you call that ? jack : good business judgment . ashley : okay , i got to ask you this . i thought you only wanted fenmore 's if you could have controlling interest , jack . jack : and you thought i would walk away when all i managed to get was 49 % ? ashley : well , yes , if the point was to run fenmore 's . this is kind of reminding me of when we were kids and you would n't play unless you could be boss . unless , of course , there was a girl involved , and then that was your secret agenda . so what ? this is n't about fenmore 's ? it 's about phyllis ? jack : in a word , yes . phyllis : i wish i could have seen jack 's face when eric forrester walked through the door ! lauren : [ laughs ] i should have taken a picture . seriously . phyllis : perfect for your corporate page of your new dazzling website . lauren : hmm ! tempting , tempting . but too mean . phyllis : even after he used gloria to cripple the competition ? lauren : ugh . jack did not give birth to my husband . and i feel very betrayed by the person who did . phyllis : yet she is the only one who 's walking away with nothing from your sweet deal . and who also just sashayed through the door . lauren : oh . you know , i would hate for her to hear it from some stranger . phyllis : absolutely . it would be cruel of us to keep quiet about it . lauren : hmm . gloria ! gloria : oh ! lauren : come join us for a drink . gloria : yes . nick : all right , all right , all right ! you need an opening act before the deejay starts spinning ? noah : who you have in mind , dad ? nick : i do have a guitar . noah : the one that avery got you ? nick : yeah . pulled up some videos online . i think i 'm ready to rip it up . noah : that 's a great idea . let me just call the insurance guy , see what our liability coverage is . 'cause i 'm pretty sure you could cause some serious damage , like -- like worse than when the roof came down on this place . nick : huh . that 's just hurtful . noah : hand me that tape . nick : why are you , uh , setting the equipment up ? why is n't the deejay doing it himself ? noah : i 'm just helping him out . uh , helping her out , actually . she 's not a deejay . she is the fastest trending edm artist right now . nick : wow . the fastest edm artist ? noah : yeah . check it out . nick : dj spectral - xxx . noah : she 's got a big show in madison tomorrow night . it 's a big booking for us , dad . nick : well , i 'm proud of you , bud . you know , uh , your mom and i , we always thought you 'd have a career in music . uh , writing , producing , maybe performing . noah : yeah , mom always used to say that . nick : yes , i think she had mapped out a whole justin timberlake thing for you . noah : hey , have you talked to mom lately ? 'cause i 've barely seen her . nick : no . why ? what 's going on ? noah : it 's just that i think she 's all freaked out about this secret cop mission that dylan is on . and i told her that i 'm sure he 'll be back any day now , but , i do n't know , she just wo n't listen . [ doorbell rings ] sharon : dylan ? nikki : sharon , i just -- sharon : dylan 's gone . nikki : i know . when i said goodbye to him yesterday , i knew that it would be for the last time . i 've just been at home with victor , grieving all day . sharon : so why come here ? nikki : wanted to see you , find out how you 're doing . sharon : [ sniffles ] how i 'm doing ? my husband just ripped my heart out ! he left , and he 's never coming back ! and do n't you dare tell me how sorry you are about it ! you finally got what you wanted , nikki ! me out of your son 's life forever ! you know , when dylan was on assignment , i did n't have a moment 's peace . i could n't sleep . i could n't focus . all i could do was obsess about all the terrible things that could be happening to him . and you know what 's messed up ? these last few hours , i ... have been aching to go back to those days . because i ... at least i did n't know about this . i did n't know that this was even a possibility . you know , as selfish and twisted as this may sound ... if dylan had been killed in the line of duty , it would n't be this bad , because there would be closure . and as wrong as it is to think this way , you know , at least that way things would make sense . but instead it will be an eternity of never knowing where he is . and i ... [ sniffles ] nick : the last time i saw your mom , she was preoccupied with dylan 's undercover thing . and , uh , he 'd only been gone a day or two . noah : yeah , she 's really worried about him , which does n't make a whole lot of sense 'cause mom sees dylan as , like , a hero , you know ? it 's not that big of a stretch dylan is basically indestructible . nick : he is like the perfect husband . i mean , that whole thing with christian , he handled it better than anyone . i mean , he did n't do anything wrong , and he was really torn up . a lot of that 's on me . noah : no , dad , you did the best you could . nick : i was pretty hard on him . in fact , when he comes back to town , i 'm gon na hook up with him and sharon and i 'm gon na try and get rid of all this tension between us . noah : faith would love that . nick : enough to live with your mom ? noah : ooh . that 's gon na have to be her choice . but , you know , somehow that kid ended up with the most highly developed moral compass of anybody in the newman clan . ashley : this is n't about fenmore 's ? it 's about phyllis ? please . jack : phyllis is the key factor . this is n't about rekindling a romance . ashley : thank heavens for that . i 'm still lost , though . jack : well , i will straighten you out . fenmore 's was gasping its last breath when lauren was wise enough to take phyllis on . ashley : to revive the digital presence . jack : and she revitalized their entire brand with this app of hers , this virtual dressing room . ashley : right . i 'm very familiar with the app . it 's very similar to one that we have . jack : so jabotgo and fenmore 's app are highly compatible and wonderful developments on their own . but what fascinated me was phyllis going after our own tech guru , ravi . it proved to me there is huge unmet potential in pairing the two of them to work on these apps together , encouraging exponential growth in both companies . that 's what this really is . ashley : really ? jack : what ? you disagree ? ashley : no . but i also think it 's a fantastic camouflage for your real secret agenda . jack : which is ? ashley : well , of course , you know , playing footsies with phyllis under the table at board meetings . [ laughter ] gloria : so , what is it we are celebrating ? lauren : oh , i 'm sure you know . phyllis : the biggest week for fenmore 's since lauren took over . lauren : oh , that 's right . and my gratitude for that special help you provided . gloria : i did ? lauren : uh - huh . [ chuckles ] thank you . and i know now that you did n't undermine my `` save fenmore 's `` campaign . i just -- i should n't have accused you of that . gloria : [ sighs ] phyllis : that was unfair . lauren : it was , but , you know , i - i did n't see the bigger picture then . phyllis : yes , but it is so clear now . gloria : because i would never do anything to undermine my son , my daughter - in- law , or her exquisite chain of stores . lauren : right . and even when you went to jack to spill my confidential business about craig steele being a silent partner , no , that was n't a knife in my back , right ? phyllis : no , that was a shining light on you , showing you your true path . lauren : yes . gloria : absolutely . the true path . lauren : mm - hmm . gloria : to ... lauren : jabot ! gloria : [ squeals ] oh , i just sincerely hope that jack and ashley take pity on you and keep you both on . phyllis : gloria , do you think you could maybe put a good word in for us ? gloria : well , i suppose i could do that . lauren : aww . see ? our guardian angel to the rescue . gloria : oh , it 's really no trouble . i ca n't promise anything . and if you are wise , you will have a backup plan . lauren : oh , i have the ultimate backup plan . i 'm still the majority stockholder in fenmore 's . jabot 's investment only gave them 49 % . phyllis : joyous news . lauren : [ laughs ] thanks , guardian angel . gloria : [ exhales sharply ] ravi : ashley ! i got it running ! check out this test -- oh , sorry . i did n't realize you guys were in a meeting . jack : no , no , no , no , no . calm down , ravi . come on in . we were just talking about you . ravi : oh . really ? ashley : mm - hmm . ravi : what 's , uh , what 's up ? ashley : what 's this ? ravi : oh , it 's what i was telling you about . the customer photo result projection . ashley : jack , you 've got to see this feature . it is so genius what ravi came up with . it 's where our users can see virtual results from our top rejuvenation products . jack : so the wrinkles and the dark circles disappear before their very eyes ? [ cell phone rings ] jack : i love it . excuse me . uh , it 's late . could you call my assistant in the morning ? gloria : this is urgent ! it ca n't wait ! [ sighs ] can you meet me at the top of the tower ? jack : i suppose . good night . got to run . ashley : bye . ravi : uh , sorry for interrupting . i 'm sure that was an important meeting . ashley : no , no . no worries . question . how do you feel about working with phyllis ? ravi : that 's not happening . did -- did someone tell you that i was gon na work -- ashley : no , no , no , no . your loyalty is not in question , but , um , looks like we 're gon na be partnering with fenmore 's , so ... ravi : so now you -- you want me to work with phyllis ? ashley : not especially , but i think it might be inevitable . ravi : okay . ashley : are you hungry ? ravi : yeah . starving . ashley : perfect . do you like chinese food ? ravi : i love it . ashley : good . okay , then you can fill me in on all your brilliance while we eat dinner . i 'm gon na order from my favorite chinese place . it 's faster online , right ? okay . how about some -- ooh , juicy dumplings . and we like that sweet and succulent chicken . oh ! my favorite is the spicy noodles . do you like it hot ? ravi : ye -- yeah , uh , as spicy as possible , please . ashley : fantastic . i knew you were easy . ravi : [ chuckles ] noah : wow , this is -- this is a great crowd for us . did you , like , send out a blast before the show ? evilution : no , nothing . my manager said i can use this as a dress rehearsal for madison . this is all you guys . noah : wow . evilution : good job . noah : thank you . nick : are you guys fans of dj spectral - x ? phyllis : oh , big . i am a big fan . lauren : huge . i 'm a huge fan of that guy . [ laughs ] hey ! michael : hey ! lauren : i 'm so glad you could come ! michael : me , too , now ! lauren : yeah , okay . michael : my goodness ! lauren : whoo ! here . let me buy you a spectral - tini . they 're very yummy . michael : no , no , no , no , no , no . news update . you 're either celebrating a late - breaking victory or you 've decided to chuck it all for a life of booze and , uh , electronic music . lauren : well , it 's over . and guess how it ended ? michael : jack 's investing in fenmore 's , and it 's all on your terms ! lauren : how did you find that out ? ! michael : jabot 's lawyers called , amusingly desperate to lock the deal down . congratulations ! lauren : why , thank you . michael : [ laughs ] no , i 'm not congratulating you . i was congratulating myself for having such a hot and powerful wife . lauren : [ chuckles ] come on . let me buy you a drink , hot stuff . michael : ow ! ooh . ohh . okay . lauren : [ laughs ] paul : nikki , hi . nikki : hi . paul : sharon , your phone kept going to voicemail , so i thought i 'd stop by and tell you -- tell you both -- that , uh , dylan 's plane landed safely . sharon : but you ca n't tell us where . paul : for your protection and your entire family . nikki : well , thank you for driving all the way out here . it was very considerate of you . sharon : well , it 's the least he could do . he 's the one that sent dylan undercover , almost got him killed . that 's why dylan 's in exile now . i mean , can we all be real enough to at least agree on that ? paul : you know , sharon , i think we can assign blame in any number of combinations . but you know i did not force dylan to go . he insisted on it . sharon : i know that you were just the escape hatch , paul . i 'm the one that gave him enough reason to go . i 'm sorry , nikki . nikki : sharon . do n't do that . nobody knows what went on in dylan 's head . and yes , it 's always gon na hurt , but it 's gon na get better . we have to find a way to get the strength to get through this . and not just for ourselves . there -- there are other people counting on us . sharon : yeah . faith . nikki : yes , for one . sharon : how am i going to explain this to her ? to anyone ? nikki : we will figure out a way , okay , together . sharon : no , you know what ? i 'm serious . paul , what are we supposed to do ? just pretend that dylan died and have a closed - casket funeral ? paul : no , i would never put either one of you through anything like that . sharon : that would certainly stop all the questions . paul : that 's not the answer . nikki : well , then what is ? paul : something clear and simple . i think i have a solution . okay , you both understand our mutual goal . heading off any questions from anyone about the details of dylan 's undercover mission . sharon : but why would he leave the job and the family he loved ? paul : [ sighs ] personal reasons . something that people who know him would easily understand . sharon : you want me to say that it was me , that i 'm the reason he left , that he not only gave up on me and our marriage , but he had to disappear and cover his tracks so well that i would never find him again ? nikki : paul , are you sure there is n't some other way ? paul : i 'm sorry . the simplest explanation is always the most believable . sharon : who cares that the truth is dylan really did forgive me and he was willing to give me another chance ? who cares what noah and mariah and faith and nick think about me for the rest of their lives ? paul : sharon , i do care . and i will not go ahead with this story without your permission . this is a request , not an order . which i am making because i think it 's the best chance we have to keep dylan safe ... and alive . michael : [ laughs ] lauren : whoo ! nick : all right , everyone ! welcome to the underground . is everyone having some fun ?

( ) olivia : brad , ashley 's still unconscious . we 're waiting for the test results . should be coming down from the lab any minute . brad : yeah , but what do you think it could be ? olivia : oh , just a minute . jason , is that the test results for mrs . carlton ? great . reese : re - check the drip . nurse : right where it should be . man : we have a panic value , doctor . reese : change that saline to a sugar push -- 50 % glucose . she 's hypoglycemic . brad : low blood sugar ? olivia : yeah , that could 've caused the fainting or unconsciousness . brad : yeah , but it could be a symptom in itself , right ? of something bigger ? olivia : look , if you 're worried that it 's the cancer ... brad : yeah , of course i 'm worried , liv . olivia : well , it could be a lot of things less dire . let 's not jump to any conclusions . brad : i told reese that ash had been going through kind of a tense time , and he seemed to react to that . olivia : well , that 's natural . he 's got to check out all the possibilities . brad : no , listen . ere 's more . right before she collapsed , we were arguing . it got pretty intense . i hope to god that did n't contribute -- olivia : okay , do n't go there . okay ? let 's just wait till we get more information . nurse : not too fast now . reese : how do you feel ? ashley : am i in the hospital ? reese : you passed out in your living room . ashley : i did ? reese : apparently , your blood sugar dipped too low . your husband called an ambulance . has this ever happened to you before ? ashley : no . reese : do you remember what you were doing before you fainted ? ashley : i was talking to my husband . reese : when was the last time you had something to eat ? ashley : i have n't felt like eating lately . reese : no appetite ? ashley : no , i 've been kind of sick to my stomach and kind of dizzy . reese : your husband mentioned some of that . ashley : is he here ? reese : he 's out in the waiting room . i 'll call him in shortly . but first i want to know a little bit more about your symptoms . cody : now when you came in here before everything blew up , how did you feel ? nick : what ? about sharon ? cody : yeah , man . you had flowers , jewelry , big plans for tonight . nick : yeah , once a sucker ... cody : come on , nick . answer the question . how did you feel ? what did you want ? nick : i thought i wanted my wife back . cody : no , man . you did n't think it . you knew it . nick : yeah , wel t then i got the divorce papers , cody . cody : yeah , and what did i tell you ? they 're papers . that 's it . nick : what the hell do you know ? you been through something like this ? is this some kind of pep talk ? cody : if you do n't want to listen to me , that 's fine . i understand . it 's just -- i feel like i know your family a little . you and sharon were great together . you got great kids . and it 'd be a real shame to give up on that if there 's even a glimmer . nick : yeah , but , cody , after what just happened out there ? i mean , come on . cody : you had a knockdown drag - out . so what ? you know , those things help . maybe get some of that bad stuff out of your system . nick : i saw sharon with that guy , and i just lost it . so what are you telling me ? that i should just forget what happened and go on aplplanned ? try and patch things up with sharon ? cody : no , man . forget what i said . listen to your gut . and how are you gon na feel if you could have apologized , maybe made a fresh start , but instead you gave up ? that 's enough of my `` dear abby . `` i 'm going back to work . nick : hey , cod ' . thanks . cody : yeah . ( knock on door ) victor : hi . sharon : oh , victor . victor : who were you expecting ? sharon : no one , no one . come on in . i 'm so glad it 's you . victor : what happened ? is anything the matter ? sharon : victoria was here . victor : and what did she want ? sharon : she 's placing all the responsibility for every problem this family is having on me . other than that , it was a perfectly civil conversation . victor : i 'm sorry to hear that . it 's ridiculous on her part to blame you for everything . that 's just ridiculous . sharon : that 's the way things are these days . everything is my fault . victor : well , or mine , perhaps . brad : you 're awake . ashley : yeah , i guess my blood sugar was too low . brad : that 's what i hear . ashley : where 's abby ? brad : she with the nanny . she 's fine . you do n't have to worry . how are you feeling ? ashley : a little shaky . brad : me too . i see they have you drinking some juice . ashley : i think the doctor wanted to ask me some questions , brad . brad : sure . ashley : alone . right , doctor ? reese : it 's probably best if she is n't distracted . it wo n't take long . brad : okay . i 'll be right outside . john : now , lauren , as i mentioned on the phone , jabot is very interested in the synergy that could be achieved by this joint venture . lauren : well , that 's great . because if this boutique downstairs turns out , i 'd plan on committing floor space in every one of my retail stores . jill : now do we have that in writing , or are we just going to be taking your word for it ? john : we can discuss that down the road . however , given your desire to move forward quickly , i 've had our legal department draw up a partnership agreement . lauren : oh , good . john : i think you 'll find everything in there that we discussed with one exception . the buy - in figure . after careful analysis , we 've come up with a price that we think more accurately reflects the market value of the boutique . now if you look at page three , bottom line figure . lauren : john , this is twice what i offered . john : and your offer , we felt , was artificially low . lauren : and you do n't think this counter is even a bit outrageous ? jill : this is n't a fire sale , lauren . you approached us . john : and there 's an addendum showing how we arrived at the figure . lauren : with all due respect , i am bringing my retail experience , my original designs to your declining outlet . john : if you want to jump on this , it 's gon na have to be at our price . if y find that you 're not interested , we 'll start looking for other partners . jill : but we do thank you for the idea . lauren : okay . i want it . do you have a pen ? john : certainly . now this is an agreement in principle . i 've signed both copies , and i 'm sure our attorneys can work out the details . and if you feel like getting the ball rolling , i will have my secretary lydia provide you with some keys . lauren : thank you . i 'll definitely keep in touch . thank yo j john . john : thank you . lauren : there you go . john : all right . lauren : see , i almost stole your pen . olivia : i 'm sure she 's gon na be fine . you know , she 's just not taking care of herself . brad : yeah , probably has n't eaten much of anything in days . olivia : same goes for you , you know . you got ta take care of yourself . how are you holding up ? brad : liv , this whole thing is just such a mess . t t just for ash and me , it affects abby , colleen ... you . olivia : do n't worry about me . brad : i do . olivia : you know , i meant what i said before -- no pressure . brad : you have no idea how much i appreciate that . it was so weird just now . olivia : weird ? brad : ash and iavave been so close for so long . just now when i looked at her , i had to wonder if i even knew her anymore . nurse : you can go in to see your wife now , mr . carlton . brad : thank you . john : well , how about that ? jill : how 'bout that ? john : mm - hmm . billy : mom , dad . heard you were both in here . john : well , i 'm glad you stopped by . billy : i figured mom would want to get to you first . jill : billy , your father is as unhappy about this as i am . john : and i did n't appreciate being the last to know . this is a huge change in your plans . and i 'm sure it 's something that 's been in the works for some time . billy : if i had come to you when i first thought of it , would it have made any difference ? john : frankly , no . i 'd have the same objections . billy : i 'm sure i already know what most of them are . john : billy , g.c.u . is not brown university . now you 're walking away from a magnificent education . and for what ? because you 're lonely in louisiana ? you know you can come home anytime . billy : i know that , dad . that 's why i 'm staying . if i learned anything in my time away , it 's that i want to be here now . jill : with mackenzie , shacking up . that 's what this is all about . billy : mom was totally in the boat about my staying in town till she heard that part . john : hey , i do n't approve of it , either . billy : what 's so terrible ? john : billy , i 'm just so disappointed in you . son , you have your entire life ahead of you . this is a horrible decision . billy : okay . so what 's the bottom line ? you cutting me off , too ? john : if you continue to defy me , i am certainly not going to underwrite this . billy : you 're not paying for llllege ? john : tuition and books only . jill : all other expenses are strictly your own . billy : i 'm sorry you both feel this way . john : well , i 'm sorry , too . billy , this is a terribly unwise decision . billy : i just do n't see it the way you do . jill : so you 're going ahead with this ? billy : we 've already started looking for a place together . john : and how do you intend to pay your share of the rent ? billy : i was offered a job today . john : what kind of a b ? b ? billy : i 'm working for lauren fenmore at the boutique . we all are . i 'll see you around . victor : i just ca n't believe that victoria would come here and just attack you . sharon : well , in all fairness , it was n't her intent . victor : what was her intent ? sharon : she was begging me to make things right with nick . victor : do you think you can do that ? sharon : victor , what you do n't know is nick and i had a huge fight . victor : when ? sharon : earlier at the coffeehouse . victor : about what ? sharon : i was talking to this guy . i was just talking . nothing else happened . victor : and nicholas saw you ? sharon : yeah , he became irate . he completely lost control . sharon : he was cruel . he started calling me names . it made me sick . if there was ever any doubt about the future of this marriage , there is n't now because it is over . he wants it to be over . victor : let me ask you something . sharon , what do you want it to be ? sharon : i told you . i ca n't go on like this . i mean , it 's killing me . it is killing me . how much abuse am i supposed to take ? i know i screw u up big time . i 've admitted it . but i ca n't keep being punished over and over again . and now to be publicly humiliated , you see , there 's just -- there 's nothing left to salvage . victor : i think there is . the fact that nicholas reacted the way he did when he saw you with another man means that he cares about you very deeply . why do n't you just go see a counselor , you know ? do n't give up . sharon : i do n't want to . i do n't -- i do n't want to be with a man that does n't want to be with me . i do n't -- i do n't want to be with a man that thinks that i 'm not clean enough or i 'm not good enough . you know , i am so tired of defending myself to nicholas , to nikki , to my daughter , to your daughter . they all look at me like i 'm some kind of unclean piece of -- i do n't know . sharon : victor ? victor : ooh . excuse me a minute . let me sit down . sharon : are you okay ? victor , what is it ? victor , are you okay ? brad : you starting to feel better ? ashley : yeah , definitely . brad : doc say anything i should know about ? ashley : not really . kind of scolded me a little bit . brad : not taking care of yourself . ashley : right . brad : you really gave me a scare , ash . ashley : yeah , that makes two of us . brad : were there any warning signs ? something i should have picked up on ? ashley : do n't blame yourself . i should have been paying mo attention to my body and what 's going on . it was a hell of a wake up call . i 'll tell you that much . brad : so there were signs . you just ignored them . why ? ashley : that 's a good question . probably because i 've been so down on myself because of what i 've done to you . i 've just been super anxious , you know , and really stressed out and ... now it 's affecting my health , brad . and i ca n't go on like this . brad : i do n't want you to . ashley : do you understand what i 'm saying ? it 's not for my sake or for yours . brad : abby . ashley : yeah . i mean , the one thing that i really understand after everything i 've been through in the last year , is how important it is that i be there for my little girl . brad : i totally understand . ashley : so knowing that this is n't good for any of us ... brad : what 's on your mind , ash ? ashley : nothing i 'm happy about . look , i understand that you see me differently now , and maybe that wo n't change . probably , it won't . and there 's olivia . brad : let 's not get into that . ashley : oh , no , i -- i -- i got ta get into that , brad , because the two of you are getting closer , and i ca n't take that on a daily basis , not on top of everything else . i simply ca n't handle it . it will destroy me if i even try . brad : i wish i could say something reassuring , but i can't . i 'm still trying to sort through all of this right now . ashley : yeah , i realize that . brad : and ? ashley : the more i think about it , we only have one option . and i think it would just be better for us if we officially separate . brad : are you really -- are you really sure ? ashley : oh , yeah . yeah . you know , it 'll give you a chance to explore whatever it is you need to explore with olivia . and it 'll give me some closure , which i am desperately going to need if i 'm going to keep it together . reese : mr. carlton still in with his wife ? olivia : yes . reese : i know they 're clese friends of yours . i just came from the lab . you wan na give 'em the good news ? olivia : what news ? reese : i ran an additional test after questioning ashley . nhcg -- she 's pregnant . listen , i got a page . they 're bringing in two trauma patients . take care of this for me ? olivia : i 'll handle it . reese : great , and i 'll be back to look in on mrs . carlton as soon as i can . sharon : victor , are you okay ? this really worries me . is it your head again ? you know , you really need to see a doctor . victor : i did a very silly thing . sharon : what ? victor : ( groans ) after i took the pain pills you gave me , i took a double shot of tequila . sharon : why would you do that ? victor : oh , i had an argument with someone . thank you for your concern , okay ? sharon : why would n't i be concerned ? you 're the only person that 's shown me any concern in a long time . victor : i 'd better go to the main house . victor : please stop worrying so much . you 're a very beautiful woman with two beautiful children . why your husband ca n't see that is beyond me . sharon : is that what you really think of me ? victor : yes . why would n't i ? sharon : do you really see me ? victor : yes .

and you did n't make her one ? well , lucky for you , i always travel with an extra crochet hook . tanner : she 's , um ... more the designer label type . she 's nothing like you . tessa : what , did i break your heart when we got divorced , so you had to find the opposite of me ? tanner : no , she 's just , uh ... regular . tessa : well , you 're probably offbeat enough both of you . tanner : yeah , um , i guess you 're right . we make it work . lindsay : so ... this friend of yours ... mariah : she has a secret . she is very intent on keeping it from the world and hates when anyone helps her . and i feel like my hands are tied . lindsay : well , it 's a good thing you came to me because bartenders know the secret to life . mariah : [ chuckles ] okay , so what do i do ? lindsay : we ca n't control who we are or what the narrative will be when we reveal our secrets , right ? i mean , there 's people that will accept you no matter what , but then there 's people who will make assumptions , you know , they know the first five minutes of your story , and they think they know how your movie 's gon na end . so this person you 're protecting , is she good ?

lindsay : what the heck happened ? i leave for two seconds , and your whole world goes lopsided ? and do n't tell me you 're okay because you 're far from okay right now . what 's up ? abby : you 're just admitting defeat without a fight , throwing in the towel . phyllis : okay , sure . if that 's what you want to call it , great . yeah . abby : what are you up to ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i 'm not up to anything , abby . i 'm not planning a sneak attack . okay ? abby : which is exactly what you would say if you were trying to throw me off the scent . phyllis : the only thing that stinks here is that you do n't believe me . you won , okay ? it 's over . the game 's over . you won . take your toys and go , okay ? abby : wait a second . are you the one that called chance a few minutes ago ? phyllis : no , i am not . abby : then did you get someone else to call him , pretend there was some sort of emergency that he had to deal with ? that way , he had to leave ? phyllis : chance is the last thing on my mind right now . but you did text him when i was sitting next to him -- phyllis : oh , my god ! i am not interested in him . i am not interested in your boy scout . why do n't you get that ? abby : because it 's not like you to just give up . phyllis : it 's over ! you won , abby ! okay ? i 'm taking myself out of the game . it 's just -- abby : it 's just what ? phyllis : there are more important things in the world , more important things and people than you ! and me . nick : i did not say a word to phyllis . sharon : then how did she find out ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she saw that -- your port bandage . sharon : yeah , she did see it , and i made a joke about it and then changed the subject . nick : what kind of joke ? sharon : i said i got a new tattoo . nick : all right , and you expected her to believe that ? look , i know you do n't like phyllis , but she 's not a complete idiot . all right ? maybe she overheard you . maybe she picked up on something else that helped her put it together . sharon : what she does is run her mouth . nick : well , it does n't really matter how she found out , right ? sharon : it matters to me . you ca n't go around telling people . nick : i did n't say anything . faith : what 's wrong ? what happened ? nick : nothing . it 's all good . faith : mom ? sharon : we were just talking about whether you 're old enough to babysit . nick : oh , well .... yeah , yeah . i totally am . that 's not the point . mom , you ca n't be getting worked up about things . it 's our job to make sure she 's completely zen . no troubles . no worries . just deep breaths , both of you . sharon : [ breathes deeply ] nick : [ exhales sharply ] faith : see how easy that was ? forgive , forget , and move on . sharon : what would i do without you ? faith : so everything 's fine ? sharon : it will be . right , nick ? because that is what you promised . nick : yep . it 's fine . what 's up with tammy ? mariah : everything is fine . lindsay : look , i 'm the best bartender in town , if i do say so myself . so i can make you a drink that 'll help you forget or maybe make it seem better . or i could just listen . so ... tell me what 's broken , and how can we fix it ? you and your girl ? mariah : we 're fine . lindsay : she 's just being distant ? mariah : well , she is distant . she 's in a completely different time zone , but ... we 're stronger than we ever have been , and i fully support the new journey she 's on . lindsay : so then explain why you were looking at your phone like it was threatening to destroy your life . mariah : that 's very funny . i wasn't . i was just looking at a text lindsay : mm - hmm . from tessa ? mariah : no , from tanner . lindsay : tanner ? as it tanner watts ? wait , that 's who she 's on tour with ? mariah : yep . she 's his new opening act . lindsay : that 's incredible . mariah : yeah . it 's great , you know ? she gets to fly all around on his private jet , and she 's playing to thousands of fans every night , and ... it 's great . lindsay : hell , yeah . it 's just we keep ... missing each other . lindsay : yeah , i mean , i know -- i know how crazy it can be on the road . i was a roadie for a little bit , and the stories i could tell you ... i mean , it would curl your hair . the parties , the pranks , the -- the one - night stands ... mariah : i 'm sorry , what ? lindsay : you know , going into one town and playing for one night , and then picking up and leaving , and then there 's also the other kind , obviously , with all those creative people being stuck together all day , and , you know , all night . the hookups that you would never , ever expect , that -- but that was a long time ago . that was -- i mean , it was a -- it was a different music scene , you know ? we were like crammed into these little tour buses . it 's way different than , you know , jetting around on some cushy private plane . that -- that sounds downright civilized . mariah : yeah . lindsay : i 'm sure you have nothing to worry about . mariah : i 'm not worried . i 'm not worried . i just miss her so much , and it 's hard being apart this long , that 's all . lindsay : well you got to love with an open hand . and stop checking your phone every five minutes . she 's out there living her life . live yours . phyllis : just let me be , please . please . i do n't want to talk about this . abby : what are the more important things that you 're focused on right now ? phyllis : [ sighs ] i ca n't talk about it . wow , you -- you are keeping your mouth shut . i thought you were genetically incapable . phyllis : what you do n't know about me could fill a book , abby . several books . i really want to do the right thing . what i do know is that something 's up . you do n't have to tell me now but it 'll come out eventually . it always does . nick : i would never tell phyllis what you 're up against . sharon : okay , she did n't know , and then after a few minutes of commiserating with you , she seemed pretty up to speed . all right , look , i do n't want to argue about this . nick : i 'm sorry . sharon : well , what 's done is done . nick : she 's not going to say a word . sharon : why is that ? because she 's so into preserving other people 's privacy ? or is it because she respects me that much ? nick : look , i know she has put you through hell and there 's no love lost between the two of you , but , deep down , i believe she 's a good person , and she 's not going to say anything . sharon : make sure that she doesn't .

mariah continues to miss tessa and gets more worried when her bartender friend lindsay tells her about life on the road and her days as a roadie . sharon gets her port put in for her chemo therapy and phyllis sees the port and figures out sharon is sick . phyllis is deeply affected by this news and tells abby she has won the battle for chance 's heart because there are more important things in life . chance had told abby earlier that phyllis is out of his system and he wants to be with her .

( sighs ) maybe that 's my legacy from colin . cane : you see , that 's the problem , mom -- it 's always someone else 's fault . it 's never your fault . genevieve : have you ever really thought about what it was like for me to be trapped in that marriage ? especially ... after samantha did , and even after i left , i could n't get out from under your father 's thumb . ( laughs ) there was absolutely no way to get away from him . and then ... ( sighs ) i saw an opportunity , a chance to run this big cosmetics company , and i leapt at it , because ... ( sighs ) because i wanted to feel powerful for once in my life . i - i wanted to feel strong and whole and independent . cane : why could n't you do that as his partner ? why -- why do you have to be his adversary ? genevieve : because ... ethan ... your mother is damaged goods . ( sighs ) i 'm sorry . i 'm really screwed up inside . ( sniffles ) i started to notice myself falling into the same sort of self - defeating patterns with jack that i had with your dad . you know , i 'd just sort of become more and more docile , and relying on him for everything , and doing everything he asked me to do without ever questioning it . and i do n't know , i could just see for a second the years unfolding in front of us , and ... and me disappearing a little bit more every day , just bit by bit , and i reacted out of fear , i guess , you know ? and it was wrong , and i regret it , and it ... has cost me . but ...

[ knock on door ] chelsea : come on ! [ sighs ] what ? nick : we need to talk about sage . let 's just get everything out in the open . sage : yeah . now that you mention it , i do blame nick for christian 's death . i blame nick for a lot of things . starting with the fact that he never really loved me . he always felt ... trapped . and he actually was . the first time we met , he was stuck in a bear trap . i helped him escape . dr. karshmer : uh , a bear trap ? sage : yeah . think i 'm making that up ? nick was always looking for a way out , you know , because i was never really good enough to be a newman . and he said that none of that mattered , but i knew , deep down , that it really did . and then , when the baby came , he was stuck with us . and then i lost christian , and he said all the right things , you know , but i knew that , deep down , he was really happy that he was finally free from me . and then this woman comes along , and she pretends to be all nice and caring about us . she wants to help us with our grief . but she really , really just wants nick to herself . is n't that right ? go on . say something . admit that i 'm right ! dr. anderson : sage , i thought that by keeping you here under observation for a few days , you would begin to see for yourself that you need help . but unfortunately -- barton : dr. anderson ? may i have a word with you , please ? sage : oh , okay . yeah . just go on out there and talk about me like i 'm not here . no , go on ! why ca n't you say it in front of my face ? dr. anderson : dr. shelby , go ahead . anything you have to say in front of me , you can say in front of the patient . sage : thank you . barton : well , i 've read the preliminary report on sage 's intake interview , and i 'm concerned there may be some other cause of her ... erratic behavior . dr. anderson : doctor , i -- barton : in which case , we should rescind her commitment papers , pending more tests . sage : no . you ca n't do that . barton : mrs. newman , are you saying you want to be committed ? adam : nick , i told sage what i thought at the police station . i told her again at the hospital . now , you 've done a really , really great , bang - up job of convincing her that you 're on her side , but please do n't try to peddle that sorry story here , okay ? because i do n't understand how locking her in a mental institution is helpful at all . nick : i signed those papers so sage could be evaluated . adam : evaluated by the same doctor that she supposes is after her , right ? nick : no . by a different one -- an independent psychiatrist on staff at memorial named dr. leon karshmer . but since you brought up dr. anderson , why do n't you ask sharon and dylan about her ? because they will tell you she is the reason they have a happy family right now . chelsea : well , i know how hard it is to do the right thing for someone when they keep fighting you . adam : yeah , no . that -- that can be difficult , but sometimes you just -- you should trust that the person you love knows what 's best for herself . nick : did sage ask you for help , adam ? chelsea : yeah , uh , what did she say to you when you guys were alone in the hospital ? adam : she told me to back off . she told me that , deep down , she knows that you care about her , you love her , and you know what 's best for her . nick : but you know better , is that it ? adam : well ... nick : your marriage to sage was an act . what gives you the right to meddle in ours ? victoria : i think it came out great . jack : let me see . phyllis : oh , i love it ! jack : perfect ! billy : jack , your hair 's amazing in it . [ laughter ] victoria : the three of you running jabot , building it back together -- it just feels right . jack : it is going to be one incredible partnership . billy : it 's gon na be the first time that i 'm equal partner . phyllis : that is gon na make all the difference in the world . jack : much as i hate to admit it , i thought this might be the end , that the company our father built was headed for the scrap heap , especially when abby decided she wanted to work with ashley and this neville character . victoria : what ? dad told me that she was taking a break from the company , but that 's just ... billy : that 's bizarre . victoria : yeah , to say the least . jack : phyllis was the only abbott i knew i could count on . she 's the one that convinced me to reach out to billy . i thought maybe your pride would get in your way . billy : pride ? well , you must be talking about your other little brother . jack : well , look , the point is phyllis was right . you 're coming back to us . you 're gon na work with us . and that 's great , billy . i know you 've been through a terrible ordeal , but you 've ended up in a great place . yes , you lost this internet deal , but you 're not bitter . and that 's a win for all of us . look , the three of us are gon na make an incredible partnership . no looking back , only forward . billy : okay . phyllis : amen . billy : amen . and i ca n't wait to get started . as soon as i can get out of this place . victoria : oh ! you know what ? in all of the excitement , i forgot to tell you . phyllis : you had some news . jack : yeah , what do you got ? victoria : i do . i have news . dr. shelby gave the word that you can come home . billy : what ? ! jack : hey ! way to go ! phyllis : fantastic ! jack : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . billy : what do you mean ? i 've got to get dressed . i ca n't go home naked . it 's winter out there . victoria : well , there 's plenty of time for that -- the getting dressed part , and i 'll help you with that -- but the nurse is processing the paperwork and she 's getting your wheelchair . billy : wheelchair , vick ? i 'm gon na dance out of here . i do n't need a wheelchair . phyllis : i think you 're gon na have your hands full trying to keep this guy from rushing you back to work . victoria : actually , i 'm going to be going back to work myself . that internet security deal that you mentioned ? my father 's putting me in charge of that while he 's out of town . jack : i swear , it is so like victor to fight like hell for a project and then dump it in his daughter 's lap . victoria : i am my father 's right - hand man , jack . jack : no , that 's not what i 'm saying . he fought for that project like -- like his life depended on it , and now he ca n't be bothered to manage it himself ? victoria : well , maybe he did that because he trusts me to handle it . jack : i 'm not insulting you . i 'm on your side . i 'm just saying victor 's like a little kid with a shiny toy . he loves it for two minutes and then tosses it aside for another toy . phyllis : well , i think it 's a lot more complicated than just child 's play . billy : why do you say that ? phyllis : well , he gave victoria a project that , by all rights , should have been yours . victoria : you think he 's trying to cause tension between us . billy : that 's not gon na happen . victoria : i already told my father that billy and i are stronger than ever . and besides , while i 'm in charge , i can keep my eye on this hacker girl , natalie . i can make sure she does n't try anything underhanded . jack : oh , hold on . no more business talk . your chariot awaits , sir . hey , do n't rush coming back to the office . we do n't want you doing too much , too soon . billy : i 'm ready now , more than ready . would you like to do the honors ? victoria : well , you know that i love pushing you around . billy : mm . and just for the record , i can walk out on my own two feet . i do n't need this wheelchair . jack : humor the hospital lawyers , will you ? phyllis : do n't forget this , all right ? jack : hey . i will be in touch , see how you 're doing , but , uh , if you need anything before then , anything at all ... victoria : thank you , jack . jack : you bet . victoria : okay . let 's go . oh . billy : could we at least do , like , a little pop - a - wheelie on the way to the elevator ? jack : as down as i have been these last few days , that 's how happy i am right now , and it 's all thanks to you . phyllis : you are the one that convinced billy to come back to work with us . jack : which i never would have attempted if you had n't encouraged me . phyllis : okay . then why do n't we celebrate ? we can have a romantic dinner . we can dance . jack : it 's just ... phyllis : what ? jack : i can not believe how selfish victor is . he snakes billy out of a deal , a deal that meant everything to my brother , and then he slithers out of town and pawns it off on someone else . phyllis : that ship has sailed , jack . let it go . jack : i wish it were that easy . adam : i was willing to back off . i was gon na respect sage 's wishes . in fact , that 's what i was doing . i 'm in my home , and you come over here , and you inject yourself into my marriage by insinuating that i 'm over - invested in your wife ? ! that 's what you 're doing . nick : well , are n't you ? adam : well , someone 's got to be ! she is grieving , nick ! she suffered a loss she 's never gon na get over ! yo - you 're comforting her ? no . you stick her in a padded room ! nick : you do n't know what you 're talking about . fairview is a well - regarded progressive facility . adam : well - regarded ? progressive ? what are you talking -- what , are you doing their p.r . now ? nick : i 'm doing what 's best for sage , whether you like it or not ! chelsea : will both of you please lower your voices ? connor is sleeping . [ cell phone rings ] adam : [ clears throat ] jack . jack : hey , i know it 's short notice , but we need to talk . can you meet me at the gcac or is this a bad time ? adam : no . actually , jack , this is a perfect time . the timing could n't be better . i 'll see you in a little bit . i 'm sorry about our evening . chelsea : it 's okay . if jack called , it -- it must be important . adam : yeah . listen , do n't wait up for me , okay ? i 'm probably gon na swing by the office , get some work done before i come home , so ... nick ... man , you know , i really hope you 're right . for sage 's sake . i really do . nick : so do i. chelsea , i 'm sorry . i did not mean to come over here and raise my voice . if -- if your kid wakes up , do n't worry , it 's like a gift of mine . i can get him right back to sleep . chelsea : thanks . it 's okay . and do n't worry about adam . i mean , if you really think that it 'll help sage to go into some hospitaliz -- nick : i 'm afraid he 's right . i 'm doing everything i can to help her . i think i may have gone too far . i ... i put her in danger . woman for what she did to me sage : i do n't know what i want . it changes from one minute to the next . but i do know that i hate this woman for what she did to me so she can seduce my husband . and i hate her for helping sharon , for making it possible for her to have a baby while mine is gone . because that is all that i think about , and no one can understand what that feels like unless they 've been through it . because i know that i need help . and i know that i feel guilty and i feel alone . dr. anderson : sage , we are here for you . you are not alone . barton : doctors , if i may , i 'd like to have a moment alone with the patient . dr. anderson : of course . barton : all right , sage . it 's just the two of us now . suppose you tell me what 's really going on . chelsea : how could you be putting sage in danger ? i mean , if it turns out she needs intensive psychiatric treatment , is n't fairview the best place for her ? nick : you know , it 's -- it 's complicated , and i 'm still trying to sort it all out . but just because i have this crisis on my hands , it does n't mean i need to involve you or adam . i mean , i came over here and drove him out of his own place , which i did not intend to do . chelsea : no . that was n't your fault . adam -- he 's -- [ sighs ] he 's kind of like one of those firehouse dogs , you know ? they smell smoke and they hear the alarm and then they just run straight for the fire . but in adam 's case , the smell is more about money and conspiracy . nick : you okay ? chelsea : yeah . yeah , i 'm fine . it 's ... nothing out of the ordinary . nick : well , you know , i hear all the time i 'm , like , the world 's greatest listener , so ... i 'm here if you want to talk . chelsea : thank you . i 'm okay . the truth is it 's the same old story . your mother could practically recite it by heart . it 's the newman men and how their main focus is always on secrets and shady business deals . how did you miss out on that gene ? nick : [ chuckles ] not as immune as you might think . but what 's this about adam ? i mean , i thought his secret - keeping days were behind him . chelsea : so did i . but you know better than anybody -- your father 's love and support is not unconditional . there 's always a price to pay . adam : champagne , huh ? the way you sounded on the phone , i assumed something was wrong . jack : no , actually , everything is right for a change . adam : that 's great . phyllis , you look beautiful . phyllis : thank you . adam : but , uh , what are we celebrating ? phyllis : billy was released from the hospital tonight . adam : that 's great . well , that 's -- that 's wonderful news . you must be so relieved . that 's -- jack : we are relieved . we are elated . we are grateful . adam : oh , good . and i 'm glad to hear he 's getting a second chance . i mean , i know how that feels . i have first - hand knowledge of that , so ... that 's really something . well , let 's -- let 's -- let 's celebrate . to billy . you know , to billy , victoria -- the entire family . phyllis : hear , hear . adam : yeah . jack : you know , we have something else to celebrate . adam : really ? well , i like that . what is it ? jack : well , actually , it depends on you . adam : okay . that sounds cryptic . jack : i know victor is out of town . i know he left you in charge . so , it seems to me this is a great opportunity for you to set things right . adam : mm - hmm . set what things right ? phyllis : oh , the internet security idea that victor grabbed while billy was in the hospital . jack : to victor , this is just another acquisition . to billy , this was a new start . so , what do you say ? you want to do the right thing and sell the idea back to us ? victoria : you okay ? billy : i 'm fine . victoria : this is more exertion than you 've had in a whole week . billy : okay . victoria : you 're going straight to bed . billy : oh , no . i did n't think i was ever gon na see this place again . touch these things . this is n't a dream , is it ? i mean , i 'm -- i 'm home , right ? [ chuckles ] look what i got . i was wondering where that was . victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : miracles everywhere . victoria : well , if this is a dream , then i 'm having it , too . it 's real , billy . it 's as real as you and me . as this remote . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : welcome home . billy : hey . get over here . come here ! [ grunts ] look at you . [ chuckles ] did you come and welcome me home ? did you ? your little sister 's sleeping like an angel upstairs . she 's probably big enough to go to work with you right away . victoria : you remember the last time you saw dad ? he was at the hospital . it was kind of scary , was n't it ? billy : you were n't scared , were you ? you 're a brave boy . you knew everything was gon na be fine , did n't you ? hey , look . i got something for you . johnny , look . hey . [ clicking tongue ] look at what i got . look . it 's your car . victoria : [ chuckles ] billy : do you remember giving me that ? that helped me get home -- that car and your little sister 's first word . victoria : you know , it still mystifies me how you know that was her first word . i mean , you -- you were in the hospital . she said it at crimson lights . billy : i have no idea . it baffles me still , but i know , as much as i know anything , that i heard it . and i 'm home . and i ai n't going anywhere else ever again . adam : you want me to sell you back the internet security idea thing ? right . nope . no . jack : adam , just hear me out . adam : jack , listen to me . i 'm not gon na go behind my dad 's back and divest newman of an asset that he just acquired . jack : it was never victor 's property . it was billy 's , in partnership with kevin . with billy at death 's door , victor swooped in and took advantage of the situation . adam : well , you 're leaving out a really important piece of that , though , right ? you had every opportunity to invest in that idea yourself . you turned -- you turned billy down . jack : you think i do n't remember that ? you think i would n't do anything i could to change that ? adam : but you ca n't is my point . you ca n't . just like you ca n't expect me to undercut my father just to clear your conscience . so , thank you for the champagne . appreciate that . have a lovely evening . i 'm glad that billy is on the mend . he 's gon na have to find another way to start over . have a good evening . jack : so , is he right ? am i just doing this to assuage my own guilt ? phyllis : you 're just trying to do right by billy . maybe you still can . there are other ways . jack : other ways ? you have something in mind ? phyllis : it 's getting late . it 's been a long day . jack : a long day ? it 's been a long week of long days . phyllis : which is why i would like to table this business talk , please . jack : okay . what did you have in mind ? phyllis : i do n't know . how about that romantic dinner i suggested earlier ? what about that ? jack : how about i one - up you ? how about we take this celebration upstairs ? sage : i - i do n't know what you 're talking about . barton : i think you do . sage : uh ... no . i really do n't know how i could be more raw and honest as i just was . i bared my soul to three total strangers , one of whom i despise . barton : you had anderson and karshmer convinced . but being a surgeon gives me a different perspective than my colleagues . sage : oh , okay . well , then , would you mind enlightening me ? you tell me how i feel , since i do n't seem to know what 's going on in my own head . barton : frankly , what i observed , you were giving a performance . i see no sign of psychosis . sage : why ? why in the hell would i fake something like this ? barton : good question . why would someone deliberately try to have herself committed to a sanitarium ? she would have to be -- sage : crazy ? you 're right . i 'm just pretending . i 'm -- i 'm totally sane . can i tell you the truth ? i know that my husband 's having an affair with that colleague of yours . so , this is a trap . i want to hide away in here , because i have people on the outside that are watching them . and as soon as i get the real proof of the affair , everyone 's gon na know that i 'm right . is n't that brilliant ? barton : brilliant . nick : are you waiting for the other psychiatrist to finish with sage ? dr. anderson : oh , dr. karshmer was paged . dr. shelby is in with her now . nick : dr. shelby ? why ? dr. anderson : well , while dr. karshmer and i have reached the same conclusion about sage 's mental state , dr. shelby has his own concerns . he 's exercising due diligence . nick : why are you involved with my wife 's case now ? barton : i thought there might be some medical explanation for her behavior , but after speaking with sage , i 'm forced to agree with her psychiatric diagnosis . i 'll sign off on the transfer papers to fairview for her treatment . nick : maybe something will change in the next 48 hours . dr. anderson : the medical staff here is unanimous . we do n't need any more time to make our recommendation . nick , the sooner that sage is moved to fairview , the better . nick : look , i know i 've asked you this before , but i need to be absolutely sure . you 're sure fairview is the best thing for sage ? dr. anderson : trust me , nick . it 's the only way . nick : you know i do , sandy . i do trust you . the fact that sage is gon na be in your hands -- it makes all the difference . dr. anderson : that means a great deal to me . why do n't you step down the hall with me so we can arrange for her transfer ? nick : uh , you know what ? could you just handle the details for me ? i want to spend a few moments with sage . dr. anderson : of course . sage : nick ! nick : hold on . all right . you got them all convinced . you 're going to fairview . sage : i know . the shrink on staff was really easy . dr. shelby -- he saw right through my act . i had to try really hard to convince him that i was nuts . what ? nick : i just left adam 's . i went over there to try and get him to back off , but ... all he does it keep accusing me of turning my back on you . sage : i know . i told him to stay out of it . he 's just trying to help . nick : look , even though adam does n't know what we 're up to , he has a right to be concerned . sage , what if we never figure out what anderson 's up to ? is this gon na be worth the risk ? sage : yes . nick , i have to take this risk , okay ? listen to me . we 've been through so much together . we -- we can overcome this . we can not let this twisted woman try to break us apart . we just have to prove that she 's not fit to treat patients and she 'll be out of our lives forever . okay ? nick : okay . chelsea : i hear the coffee 's pretty lousy here . adam : uh , only if i 'm the one making it . chelsea : well , then allow me to save you from yourself . adam : we still talking about the coffee ? chelsea : i did n't come here to fight with you . adam : good . that 's a relief . what brings you by ? chelsea : seeing nick and sage and everything that they 're going through puts things in perspective . adam : yeah . chelsea : i know how lucky i am to have you back in my life . i do . and i know a lot of that is due to victor 's machinations , but i feel like i 'm right about this , and i feel like he has some leverage on you . and i -- adam : you are right . baby , you are right . he does have leverage . it 's called family . and in all my attempt to run away from it , i finally realized who and what i am , and -- and i 'm sick of running . you know , i like who i am . i do n't want to change . and i would never ask you to change . chelsea : but i 've been asking you to change . and it 's not right . [ sighs ] i do trust you . adam , i do . and i know -- i know if something 's going on with you and your father , you 'll tell me eventually , if -- if you need to . but in the meantime , i ca n't control you , and i ca n't ... compel you to be someone that you 're not . [ sighs ] i just do n't ever want to lose you again . phyllis : let me do that , please . jack : [ sighs ] phyllis : if you are thinking about victor right now , that makes you a very , very bad man . jack : i hate the idea of my brother being left out in the cold . phyllis : i have told you -- this life is about things going very well and also coming off , okay ? jack : you know what ? you 're right . nice guys do n't finish last . look at me . phyllis : i know . and you 're not so nice , which is exactly the way i like you . jack : [ chuckles ] if this is a taste of what 's to come , i ca n't wait to start rebuilding jabot with you . phyllis : you know what my favorite part is ? jack : what ? phyllis : sealing the deal . jack : [ chuckles ] victoria : do you need more pillows ? billy : no . victoria : are you sure ? billy : yeah . victoria : okay . you were propped up more at the hospital . billy : i 'll be fine . victoria : your incisions -- billy : sweetie , i 'm not gon na break . i 'm okay . victoria : when i think about how close i came to losing you ... billy : we 're not gon na talk about that . i just tucked in our kids . i just kissed them good night . and now i 'm here with you -- just me and you , the only two people in the world . oh . victoria : oh , i 'm sorry . billy : no , no , no . it 's not that . victoria : what did i do ? billy : no . beep , beep . not tonight with this thing . nick : look , after you get transferred , anderson may pull some stunt where she does n't let me see you . she did the same thing to sharon after she got transferred . she did n't let her see any of her family . now , if that happens , you have to keep your eyes open . do n't trust anyone -- not any doctors , not any patients , and if anyone tries to give you any medication -- sage : i love you . but i 'm gon na be fine . i can take care of myself . nick : well , i know , but it 's not gon na stop me from worrying . sage : because you 're a sweet and caring man . nick : i 'm crazy about you . i do n't know what i would do if anything happened to you . sage : we wo n't have to find out about that , because i 'm gon na be okay . nick : all right . well , while you 're in here , i promise to keep doing my part out there , okay ? sage : okay . you have what you want , nick . are you just gon na wait around for my final humiliation ? dr. anderson : sage , it 's time for you to leave for fairview . sage : i 'm ready . adam : come here . come here . you know you 're never gon na lose me , right ? hmm ? chelsea : maybe not to another woman , but nikki says , to the newman men , their work is like a mistress . adam : work is like a mistress ? oh , i see . okay . well , maybe that applies to my father . but not me . all right ? i came too close to knowing what it would feel like to live the rest of my life without you . i 'm not gon na risk that again . and newman and my father get some of my ideas . they get a little bit of my time . they get a little bit of my energy . but ... you get everything . chelsea : i 'm sorry for ever doubting you . adam : no . do n't be sorry . you do n't have to be sorry for telling me how you feel . okay ? telling me how you feel ... is one of the things i love about you . chelsea : really ? adam : mm - hmm . your honesty , your brain , your heart ... chelsea : mm - hmm . adam : your hair , your eyes , your lips . chelsea : yeah ? adam : yeah . your face . and your body . oh , it 's happening . just a second . little housekeeping . [ gasps ] what 's wrong ? you all right ? chelsea : yeah . yeah . perfect . how did i end up here ? a place i 've never been i feel the dam about to break all those feelings rushing in i 've thrown away the picture of my picture- perfect life for the first time in forever i know how it feels to be alive and all that matters now is the love we know we feel a heart that 's bursting open a truth that 's been revealed it does n't matter how we got here just that we got here somehow 'cause love is all that matters all that matters no - o - o - o - w i spent my whole life waiting stuck on how it all should look gave up living in the real world for a page in someone else 's book it does n't matter how we got here just that we got here somehow 'cause love is all that matters all that matters now all that matters now [ next_on ] faith : sage is sick , and she might not be coming home for a while . nick : who told you that ? sharon : i did . colin : are you ever gon na trust me ? ! jill : you 've given me a million reasons not to . hilary : i could n't sign the divorce papers . neil : does that mean you 're ready to give devon a chance ?

[ knock on door ] stop pounding ! just come in ! phyllis : hey . jack : hey . have you seen lauren ? phyllis : howdy doody to you , too , jack . no , i have n't heard from her . i assumed she was gon na be here . jack : well , obviously she 's not . phyllis : what 's with the attitude ? rough day ? jack : i 'm fine . i just want to finalize this deal if your boss would ever show . phyllis : well , lauren will be here . she 's probably stuck in traffic . have some water . relax . everything will go down as it 's supposed to . jack : not if jill has anything to say about it . phyllis : jill ? jack : jill owns half of fenmore 's , something lauren failed to consider . now jill 's ready to blow up the whole deal . lauren : you ca n't just walk in here and expect me to call off my agreement with jack . jill : the hell i ca n't . lauren : it 's happening , jill . get over it . jill : get over it ? get over it ? ! that 's how you talk to your business partner ? lauren : for months you have been immersed in brash & sassy . honestly -- honestly , when was the last time you even thought about fenmore 's ? jill : that does n't matter . you still ca n't go behind my back and make a deal like this ! lauren : i am saving my company ! jill : our company ! for god 's sake , why did n't you come to me ? i could have arranged financing ! lauren : oh ! through chancellor industries ? right . there is no way that fenmore 's is going to become a subsidiary of your company . jill : so instead you sell jack 49 % ? that was your best option ? do you realize that if this deal goes through , my share is cut in half ? lauren : well , you can have 25 % of a thriving company or 50 % of nothing . devon : so this can go . this can go , too . and then if we can reallocate these funds into this department . roz : are you certain this is what you want to do ? devon : i am . i 've given it a lot of thought , and i , uh , i think this needs to happen . roz : all right . i 'll take these over . i 'll send a memo out to the departments , let them know about the changes . devon : thank you , roz . roz : [ sighs ] hilary , uh , hi . hilary : roz . roz : i got to , um , go . hilary : let me guess . she 's on her way to personnel to drop off my unemployment papers . victoria : new york . uh ... new york , new york . ah , perfect . billy : hey . victoria : hey . uh , check out the preliminary schedule for the men 's line rollout . billy : this can wait for a second . victoria : no , actually , it ca n't wait because look , this is red here . it means it ca n't wait . billy : actually , it can wait . i need your attention , okay ? it 's about reed . victoria : is he okay ? what happened ? billy : he 's not hurt physically or anything . he 's okay . but you might not be after you see ... this . victoria : `` reed 's house . i 'd turn back if i were you . `` what the hell ? billy : that scene in `` wizard of oz `` when dorothy and the gang are going towards the wicked witch 's castle -- victoria : yeah , i know where it 's from , billy . billy : i 'm just saying that it 's a classic , so it shows a little bit of respect . victoria : you know what ? you 're not helping . why would reed do this ? was he really that mad at me ? billy : actually , reed did n't do this . zoey did . victoria : zoey ? ! billy : the girl that he was playing tonsil hockey with on the couch . victoria : yeah , zoey ! well , you know what ? she 's officially banned from the house and from hanging out with reed . reed does not need friends like that in his life . billy : what ? you gon na cast a spell on him ? victoria : that 's not funny ! billy : okay , i 'm just saying . before you go nuclear , just understand that this is what kids do these days . victoria : this is a lot worse than scribbling nasty things on a bathroom stall , billy . billy : did you do that ? victoria : you know what ? this is gon na go viral . billy : come on , vick . it 's not gon na go viral , unless by `` viral `` you mean every kid in high school has seen it , then ... victoria : which means our distributors and our buyers and even some of our employees are going to be looking at the wicked witch of orchard road and laughing . this is so humiliating ! billy : will you snap out of it ? this is n't about you . victoria : really ? really ? is that your picture , billy ? is that you ? billy : no , it 's not . but this is about your son and the price that he is paying because you are overreacting to him just being a normal kid . hilary : [ sighs ] i just came to get my things . i accept that walking away from everything meant my job , too . i know that this needs to happen . i was wondering what your plans were for gc buzz . you 're not selling it or , worse , shutting it down , are you ? devon : no , it 's a great investment , and the staff needs me to keep the show on air so they can afford rent and those expensive craft beers they enjoy so much . hilary : [ chuckles ] that 's good . uh , i think roz needs you . devon : hey . roz : sign right here and it 's official . devon : sure . hey , thank you for , uh , expediting things . roz : yeah . no prob . devon : there you go . hilary : so , hot tip for tonight 's show ? devon : no , it was just some boring budget stuff . i had to , uh , do a little bit of juggling and free up some money so that i can implement a few changes . hilary : sure there 's a lot more money left in the budget now that i 'm out as host . devon : did business affairs contact you ? hilary : no , not yet , but i 'm expecting their call . devon : well , they 're not going to call you . hilary : i do n't understand . devon : you 're still under contract . and i expect you to abide by the terms of it . so you still work here . jack : when i saw jill , she peeled out of the club , probably went straight for lauren 's front door . she could put a major wrench in the works . phyllis : lauren has made up her mind . jill 's not gon na stop her . jack : believe me , there 's more than one way to nix this thing . phyllis : you think jill would take her to court ? jack : how do you think she got 50 % of fenmore 's to begin with ? [ cell phone chimes ] jack : is that lauren ? phyllis : no , it 's summer . i think that we 're talking about a bruised ego . jill just hates that lauren did not consult her . jack : wow . congratulations on paying attention . that 's what i just said . phyllis : again with the attitude . jack : you 're welcome to wait in the reception area . phyllis : does jill know that i 'm working at fenmore 's ? jack : yeah . yeah , why ? phyllis : that vindictive -- you know what ? it 's me ! jack : would you please stop yelling ? phyllis : i am the reason that she wants to deep - six this deal . she hates that i 'm a part of it . she 's looking for a way to get back at me ever since the billy thing . jill : i own half of fenmore 's . it 's all here in black and white . it 's your signature and my signature . lauren : oh , believe me , i do n't need a reminder . i have very vivid memories of being hauled into court and you demanding half of my company . and then you cloned my office furniture , invaded my space , and , oh , my favorite part was walking into my office and finding you and colin in an intimate moment under my desk . i 'm still having nightmares about that ! jill : and yet with all these memories swirling around in your head ... lauren : haunting ! haunting me ! jill : ... you made a unilateral decision about the future of fenmore 's ! you can not ignore me ! lauren : oh , nobody can , jill . but i made a decision , a smart decision . and if i hurt you , i am so sorry . jill : i 'm touched . but you know something ? my feelings are intact . it 's my business sense that is outraged . why are you so against partnering with chancellor ? it 's a much better alternative than linking up and selling out to jack abbott ! lauren : i did not sell out ! i kept control ! we have 51 % of the company ! jill : you had no right to make this deal without involving me ! lauren : years ago i went against my gut and i gave you half of fenmore 's . but if you think that i am going to sell my soul for the second time and work for you , never ! now , if you 'll excuse me , i am late . jill : oh , not so fast ! you talk about those years ago when i received what was rightfully mine , half of the company , but i think that you 've conveniently forgotten the most important part -- this contract , which is morally and legally binding ! lauren : [ sighs ] jack : did you really just say that , `` that thing with billy `` ? i assume you 're talking about your affair with billy . phyllis : i did n't mean to upset you . jack : and yet you brought up the one most difficult subject for the two of us to broach . did you really think that would put a smile on my face ? phyllis : i do n't think anything would put a smile on your face today . i am sorry . my mouth was going faster than my mind could edit . let 's just talk about our mutual problem . jill has multiple reasons to thwart this transaction , but we do n't know if she 's gon na do that for sure . jack : but we do know she 's a real threat . you know , i 'm -- i 'm probably the one who should be tearing up this contract . i do n't want to get in the middle of their feud . phyllis : determination is one of your selling points . you have it . lauren has it . she is not gon na let anything derail this agreement . both of you are gon na take these companies to new heights together . unless ... jack : unless what ? what 's going on in that devious mind of yours ? phyllis : unless you want to kill this deal . unless you 're looking for a way out because i 'm part of the package . jack : believe it or not , phyllis , everything is n't about you . phyllis : but it would put a smile on your face if i was n't involved ? jack : you have value in this arrangement . your platform complements and enhances jabotgo . i 'm not about to let personal issues get in the way of profits . phyllis : i need to track down lauren . lauren : we 're done here . jill : no , we 're not . nothing has been decided . lauren : there 's nothing to decide . being in the chancellor umbrella is a compromise i am not willing to make . now , you can take me to court , but i guarantee you that is not gon na be in the best interest of our company in the long run . jill : i have no intention of suing you . i am not as litigious as you think i am . lauren : oh , really ? says the woman that just happens to have a seven - year - old legal document in her purse to throw in my face . jill : oh , my god , lauren ! this was to make a point that my opinion matters when it comes to fenmore 's because i own half of it ! now , you can pretend that that 's not true , but it is true ! and i guarantee you , if the roles were reversed , you would be just as persistent as i 'm being ! lauren : the roles have been reversed ! poaching cane behind my back , canceling and rescheduling meetings out of spite ! i did n't do this to hurt you ! i did this so our company would not become extinct ! i was justified ! now , i am making this deal no matter what you say or what you do . jill : wow . have you always been this pigheaded and i just never noticed ? lauren : obviously you do n't know me as well as you think you do . devon : there you go . thank you . roz : mm - hmm . hilary : you want me to stay ? devon : i want you to honor your contract . there 's a difference . hilary : but i thought you could n't stand being around me . i thought you did n't like the person that you were when you were with me . devon : well , we 're just gon na be working together , not reconciling . i can handle a few hours a week if you can . hilary : yeah . if you 're sure . devon : i am sure , yeah . i can also admit that most of gc buzz 's success is due to you . and i may not agree with the direction you take the show all the time , but you do have instincts to , uh , get viewers to tune in . and there may be somebody out there who can give me the same results , but i think that right now we could use a little bit of stability , so ... hilary : especially when news of our divorce hits the media . it 's gon na blow up . devon : yeah , why add another act to the circus ? hilary : [ scoffs ] this is a very different conversation than i was imagining on my drive over here . devon : well , i just want things to be civil , especially when i tell you about the , uh , adjustments i plan on making . hilary : adjustments ? devon : yeah , you know , the budget i was going over with roz , i , uh , freed up some money for on - air talent because you are getting a co - host . hilary : oh . well , if you think that that will work . devon : i think that you 're gon na make it work . hilary : did you have someone in mind ? devon : i did . she 's right there . billy : reed was mortified at crimson lights . those two girls from his high school making fun of him for the meme , for having a mom who totally lost it . victoria : i was n't that bad . billy : you kinda were . victoria : [ sighs ] okay , well , if i had to do it again , i guess i 'd do things differently . i guess i 'd tone it down a little bit . i guess reed 's pretty upset with me . billy : more like totally bummed . and it 's 10 times worse because he 's a new kid at school . so now he 's known as the witch 's son , not the ripping guitar player that he should be known for , and that 's -- you know , he 's in a tough spot . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm ruining my son 's life . billy : no , no , that 's a little strong . victoria : yeah , but that 's how he sees it , is n't it ? billy : yeah . but , i mean ... victoria : and , of course , it took you to point it out to me . billy , i 've just been so in my own head . i did n't realize how hurt he was . what if he -- what if he decides that he wants to move to warsaw with j.t . ? did i drive my own son off the continent ? billy : hey , hey , hey . stop . do n't overreact , okay ? this can be fixed . victoria : really ? and i suppose you 're gon na tell me how , are n't you ? you know , just because you have a `` world 's best dad `` coffee mug does n't mean that you have all the answers , billy . billy : hey , do n't take your frustrations out on me , okay ? you know what ? vick , you should try sniffing one of these . victoria : [ sighs ] billy : yes . lavender , okay ? this is good for relaxation . or pine . this is good to alleviate stress . they totally work . victoria : you know , if i can broker million - dollar deals and acquisition fortune 500 sharks , i can handle some adolescent angst . billy : i would n't count on it . high school is complicated , especially these days . everything moves at a zillion miles an hour . they 're all looking down at their screens getting updates . whatever happens in first class , everybody knows about it by second class . there 's no privacy . they live to put each other on blast . victoria : so i guess a hug and milk and cookies is n't gon na work . you know , it used to do the trick when he was 5 . billy : oh , he 's not 5 anymore . victoria : okay , you know what ? so then when he comes home from school , i 'll sit him down and we 'll talk it out . billy : well , you know , he , uh , could still be at crimson lights . victoria : what ? ! is that where you saw him ? ! he was n't in school ? ! okay , what was he doing at crimson lights during school hours , billy ? billy : he was n't skipping . there was a pep rally , and attendance was optional . he opted out . victoria : okay . so maybe i 'll just -- i 'll head over and see if i can catch him . victoria : [ sniffs ] [ sighs ] yeah , that is better . billy : told you . victoria : now , this might seem a little bit awkward since i knocked your parenting skills , but i have to ask you for a favor . billy : sure . what is it ? victoria : something that will prove to reed that i 'm not as bad as he thinks i am . billy : whatever i can do to help . mariah : hey , boss . devon : hey . mariah : hello , hilary . hilary : hello , co - host . mariah : oh . so you two talked . devon : we did talk , and she is aware of the new dynamic . mariah : and you 're cool with it ? hilary : well , i do n't have a choice in the matter . i 'm under contract . mariah : right . are you sure you do n't want me to be , you know , kind of on - the- street reporter , that way i would n't have to be in studio ? might reduce the safety risks . devon : listen , you guys both bring very different flavors to this show , and that 's what i made this decision -- to give it some balance , okay ? you can cover the gossip , scandals , and dirt . you can cover the feel - good human interest stories . and the plus of having you here is it will ensure hilary 's pieces have a morsel of truth . mariah : i did n't sign up to be a fact checker . hilary : and i do n't need a babysitter . devon : well , the bottom line is , i trust mariah to follow her moral compass more than i trust you . and i 'm not asking you to be a babysitter , okay ? i know that you 'll stand up for what 's right and you 'll flag what you find inappropriate . and i expect you to have an open dialogue about her concerns . hilary : understood . devon : great . i also expect you guys to play nice , especially in front of the staff . mariah : no problem . hilary : yes , of course . devon : good . i have a meeting to get to , but i 'll be back in time for the show because tonight we 're going live for a special broadcast to introduce mariah as the new co - host . mariah : well , this is very awkward . hilary : we have a show to produce . whatever our differences , we need to work together . mariah : that is , until you stab me in the back and take the whole show for yourself . hilary : is that the new script that you 're working on ? mariah : yeah , i was just looking over the final edit . hilary : can i see it ? mariah : of course . hilary : okay , uh , the intro needs a little bit of work . i like this . this is good . we can just get rid of all of that . mariah : i think that 's a good idea . jack : if you 're looking for ashley , she 's in a meeting . billy : i 'm not . i was just with , uh , stacy in finance . she was the one on my to - do list . that did n't sound right , did it ? uh , no , it 's the first of the month . i wanted to make sure we paid our rent on time . jack : oh , good for you . i 'll have stacy arrange for direct deposit , save you the trip in the future . billy : save you from running into me , huh ? jack : a win / win . billy : well , now that i got you here , jack , uh , according to coffee cart gossip , you 're gon na be doing business with fenmore 's . jack : yeah , that 's what they say . billy : well , i do n't have to tell you . jack : what ? that phyllis works for fenmore ? yes , i 'm aware of that . billy : do n't jerk her around again , okay ? billy : you know , this could take awhile . that elevator 's out of order , so you can take the stairs if you 'd like . jack : well , you 're done with your work on this floor , and you 've certainly done your good deed for the day -- gotten the big bad wolf to go easy on little red riding hood . billy : oh , no , she can handle herself . jack : and yet here you are speaking on her behalf . billy : trying to appeal to your better nature , jack . why do n't you look past your hurt and see the sacrifice that phyllis is making ? she left jabot , a job that she loves , in order to start fresh . yeah , i 'm sure a part of that was for herself , but i 'm guessing most of that was for you because she knows that her presence is a painful reminder for you , yet she cares enough to walk away . and now because of circumstances out of her control , she is back in your orbit , so i 'm just hoping that you can be professional about this . jack : so what you really want to say is let phyllis off the hook . billy : would it kill you ? jack : gee , i do n't know . i guess i 'd still have you to blame . [ elevator bell dings ] lauren : [ scoffs ] are both of those yours ? phyllis : not if you need them . lauren : one . [ laughing ] let me have one . phyllis : i just came from jack 's office . lauren : hmm ? how upset is he that i missed the meeting ? phyllis : well , he has had better days . he figured that jill tried to quash your plans . lauren : and he figured correctly . she stormed over , made demands . phyllis : did she change your mind ? lauren : oh , give me a little credit . i 'm definitely moving forward . phyllis : if the deal is still on the table . lauren : are you telling me that jack is having second thoughts ? phyllis : you know , i tried to convince him that it is a viable option , but with jack , you never know . lauren : i will convince him that jill is not a problem , and i am sure we will get this back on track . phyllis : maybe . lauren : maybe ? phyllis : jill is not the only complication that he is concerned about . lauren : what do you mean ? phyllis : you 're looking at the other concern . lauren : oh , no , no , no , no , no . we came to an understanding about you working for fenmore 's ! phyllis : i know . it 's going to keep popping up , i 'm afraid . when he sees me , it just brings up feelings , none good , i would bet . lauren : well , this is his own fault . he kept chasing away all my other investors . you know what ? he 's just gon na have to live with it . phyllis : or not . lauren : i am so sick of jill ranting and jack having second thoughts . i 've worked too hard and too long to preserve my family 's legacy . i am not gon na lose it . i am not gon na let that happen . [ glasses clink ] jill : lauren did n't even have the decency to tell me about this deal with jabot . i had to hear about it from jack . colin : oh . it 's terrible . that 's an insult . jill : i know . it 's not just that i was cut out of the loop . it 's that fenmore 's was in trouble , you know , and lauren could have used my expertise . i have good ideas . but did she come to me ? no , no , no , of course not . she went to phyllis and jack . [ sighs ] honey . colin : hmm ? jill : you 're falling down on the job . colin : oh , sorry . jill : right on the left there . yeah , yeah . oh . colin : there . jill : that 's good . see , and -- and here 's the truth , all right ? phyllis ' business acumen is gon na be a huge asset . i do not deny that . but it 's that app . it 's that virtual dressing room platform that is gon na be the game changer . my god , it 's gon na rake in the cash for fenmore 's . colin : that so ? jill : well , it would 've if lauren had n't been so eager to jump into bed with jabot . if she 'd just been willing to wait and let me invest so we could keep it in the family , but instead half the profits are gon na go to -- colin : jack abbott . jill : exactly . colin : [ sighs ] you got to get angry here . i mean , you -- you have a right to be angry . you got to go after them , jill , with everything you 've got ! jill : i should . and with my chancellor and brash & sassy profits , i have plenty to fight with . mariah : so , would you like the intern to count our lines , make sure they 're equal ? hilary : i know that you 're being sarcastic , but i bet there 's a part of you that expects me to say yes . mariah : can you blame me ? hilary : no . honestly , mariah , i never should have treated you the way that i did . [ scoffs ] look at where it got me . uh , you 're not going on air like that , are you ? okay , no . you get to hair and makeup right now . i will go to wardrobe . i will let them know what i 'm wearing so they can adjust yours accordingly . we do n't want to be too matchy - matchy . mariah : yeah , i doubt that 'll ever be a problem . hilary : [ sighs ] mariah : i know that we should say `` break a leg , `` but considering what happened last time ... hilary : why do n't we just say `` good show `` ? mariah : good show to you , too . hilary : mariah , believe it or not , i 'm actually looking forward to this . roz : all right , script is locked . we are all set . hilary : actually , there is a new segment that we need to add to d block . i will send you the revised pages right now . roz : uh , mariah did n't mention any changes when she sent the script . hilary : well , devon called , and he gave me very specific instructions and the new script . and there will be a clip , so i 'm sending that to the vtr operator right now . roz : okay , i 'll let mariah know . hilary : oh , you 're gon na -- you 're gon na ruin the surprise . roz , i will let you in on the secret if you promise not to spill . roz : i promise . hilary : it 's a -- it 's a welcome package for mariah . roz : nice . and she has no idea ? hilary : no , not at all . but i guarantee she 's never gon na forget it . victoria : hi . can we talk ? reed : i ca n't . i got to get back to class . victoria : i know you have a free period . we can go home if you -- if you do n't want to be seen with me . it 's fine . reed : it 's -- it 's okay . nobody from school 's here . so i guess you heard about the whole witch thing , huh ? victoria : yes , i did . reed : all right . give it to me . go ahead . fire away . victoria : i 'm sorry . reed : what ? victoria : i 'm sorry that i embarrassed you and your friends made fun of you because of me . i guess with your little brother and sister , it 's easy to run their lives the way that i run my company . you know , i - i guess i compartmentalize . karate and play dates and brushing their teeth and going to bed -- it 's all scheduled . so it 's easy to dictate what they do . and they like it for the most part because they 're little . reed : [ sighs ] victoria : i think i tried to do the same thing with you . i tried to ride you about homework and screen time and school , and i ... it was just one epic fail , i think . and i know you 're old enough to make your own choices . i 'm not always gon na agree with those choices , like the other day with the girl , but in terms of how i react to those choices , i think i can do better . reed : all right . thank you . victoria : i want to get to know you , reed . i want to know what you like . i want to know what you do n't like . reed : you do n't have to do that . victoria : no , but i want to , and i want to show you how serious i am . reed : how ? victoria : [ sighs ] well ... oh , yes . this is perfect . reed : what are you talking about ? victoria : [ chuckles ] there . reed : no way . [ gasps ] jill : thank you so much for always having my back . colin : sweetheart , i 'm always there for you . jill : you know something ? lauren practically dared me to take her into court , but i think i found a way , and a better way , to get what i want . colin : well , i have complete faith in you , and i know that you will prevail , which is , uh , one of the reasons i decided that we might do a victory lap a little bit ahead of time . jill : oh , yummy , yummy . colin : why do n't you tell me what 's the master plan . jill : jack . colin : jack ? jack wants half your stake . jill : yeah , i know . but listen to this . lauren went behind my back to make this deal with jack . and i am resigned to the fact that it 's gon na happen , okay ? but what is to stop me from going behind her back and talking to jack myself ? colin : but wait , wait . [ chuckles ] what 's this ? jill : yep . i 'm gon na make an offer to jack for 49 % of fenmore 's . and i do n't care how much it costs . i do n't give a damn . even if it 's an obscene amount of money , i 'm gon na buy jack out . colin : oh . lauren : thank you so much for rescheduling , jack . i 'm sorry i missed our meeting earlier , but i had a fire to put out . jack : oh , is that what we 're calling jill these days ? lauren : i believe there 's a few other names , as well . jack : so , is the fire fully extinguished ? lauren : let 's call it smoldering . but it 's nothing that ca n't be taken care of , and i 'm ready to move forward with our deal ... if that 's what you still want . phyllis said something that you were having doubts about her being on the payroll . i really thought we settled that . jack : i 'm surprised she 's not here . lauren : she 's on a phone call . but if this is going to be a recurring issue , tell me now , because then i 'm gon na be the one having reservations about signing our deal . mariah : so be sure to check out the sixth annual valentine 's day puppy love event , because so many of those dogs are looking for loving forever homes . hilary : but are n't they including kittens in the benefit this year , mariah ? mariah : yes , they are . and what were you saying about that earlier ? hilary : uh , i do n't recall . mariah : come on . she said that it was `` purr - fect . `` is n't she adorable ? devon : hey , how 's it going ? roz : not `` purr - fect , `` but they 're both smiling . hilary : well , it 's about that time that we formally welcome my new co - host to the show . roz : hilary 's about to introduce that segment that you added . devon : what segment ? roz : she said it was a welcome to the show for mariah that you wanted to include . she revised the script . she picked a clip . devon : she 's gon na humiliate mariah . we need to shut this down right now . roz : too late now . hilary : now , i 'm gon na throw my co - host a little curve ball here . mariah has no idea what 's about to happen . but i promise you will be buzzing about it tomorrow . let 's take a look at this clip . hilary : and ... freeze it right there . now , i am sure that all of you remember this moment , mariah 's infamous debut as solo host of gc buzz . mariah : hilary , what are you doing ? hilary : she was humiliated when she tripped and fell . mariah : yes , i was , and i would rather -- hilary : but it was n't her fault . it was mine . i have to admit that i was jealous and i was spiteful that mariah was taking over the show , so i tripped her . and i could n't sit here side by side day after day without apologizing . so , mariah , i am sorry . sincerely . and i hope that one day i might be able to earn your forgiveness . reed : jack white ? ! are -- are you kidding me ? ! he 's one of my favorites ! victoria : i know . reed : how ? victoria : um , your social media page . reed : wow . i 'll totally overlook the invasion of privacy , but i 'm so stoked . [ chuckles ] victoria : yeah , i know . he 's playing at a pop - up concert in chicago tonight , and billy knew a guy who knew a guy who was able to get two tickets . reed : you got tickets to a pop - up concert in chicago ? victoria : mm - hmm . reed : who are you ? victoria : what ? come on . i 'm not that ancient . reed : look , tonight 's a school night . victoria : oh , that 's okay . i 'm sure that you can finish your homework after school , right ? reed : yeah ! victoria : yeah . reed : uh , but who am i gon na go with ? i mean , it 's too late to get a friend from school . victoria : oh . reed : what if i - i take billy ? victoria : yeah , i - i think billy would go with you . you should give him a call . reed : mom , i 'm kidding . we 're going together , right ? victoria : really ? you would n't be embarrassed to go with your witch of a mother ? reed : under one condition . you leave the broom at home . victoria : [ chuckles ] okay . colin : uh , i - i 'm having second thoughts about encouraging this civil war between you and lauren . jill : really ? because usually this kind of shenanigans just get your juices going . colin : i know . but it 's gon na take a lot of cash to buy jack out . jill : honey , this is n't about money . this is about principle . this is about honor , okay ? if lauren had a modicum of respect for me , none of this would be happening . colin : i 'm also worried about how deep this rift could go . i mean , you okay with that ? jill : i do n't know . i do n't know . but she brought this on herself . colin : there 's also the business of do you need another distraction in your life ? you 've got two corporations , me , grandkids . that seems like a pretty full plate . do n't you want to have a life , enjoy things , live a little , cruise , travel ? jill : maybe you have a point there . maybe i should just sleep on it tonight and see how i feel tomorrow . colin : yeah . jill : okay . colin : yeah . [ sighs ] lauren : jack and i were tying up a loose end . phyllis : were you working out one heck of a big knot ? or is it still a tangled mess ? lauren : jack ? jack : your lifeline . let 's make this deal . all that 's required is your signature . lauren : does anybody have a pen ? thank you . [ next_on ] victoria : i need you to help me launch the latest weapon in our arsenal . jill : i want you to tell me the real reason you do n't want me to pursue this deal , and i want you to tell me now . devon : that was the last thing that i ever expected . neil : and did that change things for you ?
