jack : [ whistling ] phyllis : jack ? ! jack : hey . there she is ! phyllis : there you are . jack : hello . [ smooches ] phyllis : hey , do n't you check your messages anymore ? jack : yeah . billy changed his mind . he 's gon na have the wedding in town . phyllis : yeah , as in right now , so come on . let 's go . jack : no . oh , g -- i just got home . ca n't we send a gift ? candlesticks are always nice . chelsea : i know it 's incredibly short notice . anita : oh , but it 's not that kind of short notice . i mean , nobody 's got a gun , if you know what i 'm saying . ashley : of course not . this is love , and you and billy -- you 've earned this . no apologies , right ? anita : that 's right . chelsea : thank you . this is so surreal , you know -- getting a second chance like this , finding someone who loves me and we can be together and raise our children together . i mean , did you ever imagine my life being like this ? anita : oh , baby , i did -- just like this . this is everything i hoped for you . ashley : you 'd better not be crying . are you crying ? because then you 're gon na ruin your makeup , and then i 'm gon na cry , and it 's like a catastrophe . chelsea : no . i promise . billy : [ sighs ] ladies , you all look lovely , but you ... ashley : as do you . billy : ... you -- no words . anita : aww . chelsea : are we ready ? billy : not without the key players . speaking of the best man , have you seen gabriel ? adam : ahh ! avery : and 10 more . 10 . n -- i 'm sorry . did you forget how to count ? joe : and what happens when i finish this set , huh ? i wheel this chair around faster ? avery : well , why did you work out before this happened , joe ? you did it because you did it . i tripped over your weights in the bedroom more than once , and you know that . joe : well , i 'm sorry about that . avery : well , i do n't want you to be sorry . i do n't want excuses . i want you to pick up these weights and use them , or you 're gon na get one over the head ! mariah : sharon ? sharon : hello . mariah : hi . you the new keeper of the gate ? sharon : dylan is here because he believes i 'm innocent . mariah : and what -- i do n't ? sharon : well , i was assuming since you had n't visited before now ... mariah : well , you know what they say about assuming . it makes ... i 'm sorry . look , i have been all about you being innocent . i know that you did n't hurt anybody , and that 's not a guess or an assumption . i am sure of it . and i will tell anybody that will listen , not that people will listen -- whoa . sharon : thank you . mariah : you did hear the part where people do n't listen to me , right ? michael : heads up , friends ! hello , mariah . i have got test results . mariah : what results ? michael : i had an independent lab test that tire iron . dylan : what did they find out ? michael : along with sharon 's fingerprints , they found traces of -- wait for it -- latex . sharon : latex , as in gloves ? mariah : or like a mold . somebody could have had a latex mold done of your fingerprints . sharon : is she right ? michael : yes , indeed . she is . if they got ahold of your fingerprints , they could have duplicated them with latex and planted them on the tire iron . good work . mariah : i 'm a big `` csi `` fan -- huge , actually . dylan : that means somebody did a lot of planning to make this happen . michael : it 's not definitive proof that sharon was framed , but it sure as hell helps . sharon : but now i actually have a defense . michael : you have an excellent defense . mariah : i 'll be right back . kevin : what 's up ? mariah : hi . good news , bad news . the bad news is awful . noah : it does n't feel real half the time , you know ? it 's like i look around . this life -- it 's not my life . summer : i get it . i mean , nothing makes sense from one day to the next , you know ? and no one else even notices . life just keeps going on for everyone else . billy and chelsea are getting married today . noah : i try not to think about weddings too much these days . summer : i 'm sorry , noah . courtney really did love you . kevin : hello , party people . i know . this smile -- it 's fake . you get to put one on , too . summer : okay . why are you being so weird ? kevin : what did i just say about smiling ? i just got off the phone with mariah . there 's new evidence to suggest sharon is being framed , which means the killer is still out there and could be watching us right now . abby : this is a fun way to spend the day , watching people in love . kyle : hmm . well , it is if you get drunk enough . abby : [ chuckles ] chelsea : gabriel ? i have no idea where he is . i think that 's probably a good thing . billy : why is that ? chelsea : billy , you ca n't seriously want him as your best man . anita : it does sound a little wonky to me . billy : no , no . it makes all the sense in the world , does n't it ? i mean , today would be a new day , so i 'm reaching out , and i just hope he can meet me halfway , if he ever makes it . oh . your future niece and nephew are here , so excuse me . hey , guys . so glad you could make it . you ready for the main event ? 'cause it is gon na be unforgettable . adam : [ sighs ] well , then . sage : yep . as mistakes go ... adam : oh , absolutely . yeah . sage : yeah . adam : yeah . sage : day drinking never ends well , especially after being rejected by people that we really care about . adam : yeah , but at least we can forget about it for a little while , right ? sage : and then you remember all over again . well , you can go back to being angsty over chelsea , and better now that she 's about to be happily married , huh ? adam : great . and you can continue to obsess over that lox nick and wait for somebody to live up to the gloryhood of manhood that was gabriel bingham . sage : i just remembered why i hate you . get out of my suite . adam : why you hate me ? sage : yeah . adam : all right . well , i 'm gon na go take a shower . [ cell phone rings ] sage : hello ? billy : hey . it 's billy abbott . did you get my voicemail ? we 'd love to see you at the wedding . sage : yeah . i 'm not gon na be able to make that . billy : hey , just as a favor -- you know , you and your ex - husband , okay ? if you can track gabe down . sage : i might be able to find him , but i do n't think he 's gon na do what i tell him . billy : well , if he wo n't do it for you and he wo n't do it for me , then maybe he 'll do it for chelsea , you know , since they 're such good buddies and all , 'cause this is a momentous occasion , and , really , no one should miss it . phyllis : that 's it ? you 're just gon na plant yourself on the sofa ? jack : i just golfed a good nine holes . i earned this sofa time . phyllis : honey , this is not the time to hold a grudge . you fired billy . you 're gon na skip out on the wedding , too ? jack : he 'll eventually have another one . phyllis : look ... i know what billy said hurt you , not backing you up on the merger , more than i realized . jack : yeah . yeah . that stung . yeah , the disloyalty , the disrespect -- after everything i 've done for him , that hit pretty hard . phyllis : so go do what you do . jack : which is what ? phyllis : be the abbott patriarch . be that bigger man . you go find billy , and you tell him no matter what , you 're family . jack : wow . you get to me like few women the world has ever seen . i 'll tell you what -- the car 's still warm . let 's go throw some rice . phyllis : honey , dressed like this ? jack : yeah . it 's late . it 's family . he can say his vows without me wearing a tie . come on ! summer : so , that 's the big news -- latex ? mariah : you want me to explain it all again , snowflake ? summer : no . i got it just fine . it 's just jumping from traces of latex to sharon 's being framed is a little over the top . kevin : well , it is evidence that something was going on with that tire iron . summer : yeah , the one with my husband 's blood on it . thank you . i really love talking about that . noah : look , it 's not easy for any of us to talk about , okay , summer ? but it is becoming increasingly clear , even to you , that my mom is not the reason that courtney and austin are gone . kevin : hopefully the real killer does n't know any of that . with any luck , he or she is cocky and thinks all eyes are on sharon . mariah : which is how we have to continue to play it for outsiders . sharon is going down , and the killer 's off the streets . noah : we have to keep this quiet , so no discussions in public about my mom being innocent . kevin : i 'm gon na head to the station -- try again to see if i can find out what courtney found when she did that computer search . noah : you know that 's what got her killed , right , kev ? mariah : so be careful and keep us posted ? kevin : yeah . summer : okay . so , if the killer is still out there ... mariah : he is . summer : ... and if we 're in danger ... mariah : we are . summer : ... then kyle needs to know . mariah : where is the replacement boyfriend , anyway ? summer : i did not replace austin , and kyle -- never mind . noah : kyle and abby both should know to watch their backs . kyle : you see this ? abby : evidence it 's not sharon ? what evidence ? kyle : did you see the part of the text that said , `` keep quiet and be careful `` ? abby : it 's not like i yelled it . kyle : [ scoffs ] yeah , well , it does n't matter anyway . noah wants sharon to be innocent so badly , he could accept pretty much anything as evidence at this point . abby : well , he 's not the only one who thinks the killer 's still out there . being careful is n't the worst idea . kyle : look , abby , no one 's gon na come after you at a wedding . and if they do , i 'm right here beside you . chelsea : billy ? billy : yeah ? chelsea : before we start , i just want to say i am sorry . billy : okay . for something in general or something more specific ? chelsea : it 's just i know you wanted a big family wedding , and we have a few no - shows -- my dad , which is probably a good thing , actually , and traci could n't make it on such short notice , and your mom , jack . i just -- i would understand if you want to postpone or -- billy : are you getting cold feet on me ? chelsea : no . i just -- i want you to have the day that you 've always pictured . billy : well , i am not worried , and we 're not waiting . chelsea : okay . anita : so , how 's my baby and my almost son - in - law ? billy : ready to get married . anita : spoken like a man who knows what he wants . billy : i do , and you know what , anita ? if i forget to say something during the toast , i just need to give credit where credit is due , and chelsea would not be the woman that she is today if it were n't for you , so today is your day , too . anita : you are such a sweetheart . oh , that really touched me . come here . ohh . billy : mm . anita : i 'm so happy for you . billy : thank you . anita : and you , sweetie . billy : now , where is that reverend ? i think we have waited long enough . joe : that was convincing . avery : why are you talking and not working ? ! joe : you know what ? a pep talk is n't gon na fix this , avery . it 's gon na take much more than that . avery : and giving up -- that works for you ? curling up in a ball and shutting out the world -- that works for you , joe ? joe : that 's not what i 'm doing . avery : i 'm still talking . look , you got screwed over . you did . but you also got a miracle out of this , because that fall could have killed you , could have left you in a bed hooked up to machines forever , and it did n't . you can think , joe . you can see . you can hear . you can do all those things . so , what are you gon na do ? are you gon na sigh and say that everything 's too hard , or are you going to be grateful and suck this up ? ! 'cause i 'm grateful you 're still on this earth , even if you 're driving me nuts ! joe : you know , i 'm only doing this 'cause i got a second wind . avery : okay . whatever . just do it . you better not slow down . dylan : you know , i have an army buddy who specializes in forensics . if you want , maybe i should reach out to him , find out more about the process , maybe even figure out how the killer got sharon 's fingerprints . sharon : yes . please do . it 's awful to think that whoever planned all of this has been in my home . even worse , it 's someone who 's close to me . michael : sharon , with dylan and me here , you 're safe . keep that in mind . dylan : i 'm gon na make that call . sharon : of course . michael : and i am gon na take this to paul . sharon : michael ... thank you for this news . it 's starting to feel like this is n't completely hopeless . michael : good . good . [ chuckles ] all right . i 'm off . sharon : all right . [ sighs ] oh ! one of you forgot your ... [ cell phone rings ] sharon : ... phone . uh ... hello ? avery : sharon ? why are you answering dylan 's phone ? paul : you supposed to be here ? kevin : nope . i 'm off the clock and using pd equipment . you can give me a wrist slap later . right now i 'm gon na find out what courtney uncovered that got her killed . paul : or i could just save you the trouble . i know exactly what courtney found . billy : hey , sage . you made it . sage : oh , i 'm just leaving , actually . billy : uh , hey , um , let me , uh -- let me get you some champagne . you want some champagne ? sage : uh , why do you want me to be here ? we 're not friends . we 're not even neighbors anymore since i moved out of the penthouse . billy : who does n't like weddings , huh ? sage : someone with no romantic prospects whatsoever . thanks for reminding me . billy : okay , but weddings can be inspirational or cathartic or just plain entertaining , and this one promises to be all three . sage : fine . billy : great ! sage : yeah . billy : great . thank you . jack ! wow ! way to upstage the bride . phyllis : it was short notice . jack : i 'm a grown man . you do n't have to make excuses for me . billy : no . you look sharp . look , my best man -- he just blew off his duties . you care to stand in ? consider it an olive branch . phyllis : he 'd love to . jack : evidently , i 'd love to . billy : fantastic ! i 'll let the reverend know . ashley : are you kidding me ? ! this is what you do instead of paying attention to work ? jack : all work and no play . ashley : victoria killed hex , jack . she shelved it . it 's out of production . jabot has now lost its biggest seller . phyllis : is she out of her mind ? ! ashley : yes . did you know about this ? and , more importantly , what are you gon na do about it ? jack : where are your priorities , ashley ? our brother is getting married . chelsea : should i just -- billy : what ? no . no . you got to walk down the aisle -- i mean , all 6 feet of it . chelsea : oh , i do n't have to . billy : hey , the moment needs to build . this is a grand entrance . chelsea : it just seems silly . billy : nothing we 're doing here today is silly . these are moments we 're gon na remember forever . chelsea : you 're such a romantic . billy : yeah , i really am . chelsea : okay . [ exhales sharply ] kevin : what do you mean , you found out what courtney was after ? paul : i put somebody else on the case , and they got results . kevin : someone who is n't me . paul : i assume so . kevin : and they were able to pull courtney 's search results ? paul : what are you so surprised about , kevin -- the fact that i put somebody else on the case or the fact they made progress ? kevin : both . who 's better than i am , and why would you go to somebody else ? paul : oh , gee . i do n't know . maybe it 's the fact you covered up a murder and you 've been suspended as a result . kevin : oh , right -- that . fine . so , what did this person who is n't me find ? kevin : that 's a video still shot of summer and austin 's apartment building . paul : mm . who is that sneaking in ? kevin : well , it could be sharon . paul : it is sharon , with a date and time stamp . kevin : 9 : 00 p.m . the night austin was murdered . that does n't prove anything . paul : it proves that sharon was looking for the victim . right ? the night of the storm , when she said she was with her daughter . kevin : but that 's not where austin was murdered . paul : no . we assume that she kept looking for him until she found him . time of death was a couple of hours later . kevin : yeah . something about this is n't right . paul : what 's not right is that sharon killed austin and you and your pals covered up a murder ! that gave her the opportunity to kill courtney ! and i 'm telling you , kevin , she is not gon na get away with it . dylan : hey . have you seen my phone ? sharon : i 'm sorry . i answered it . it 's avery . i just did n't want you to miss the call . dylan : oh . okay . avery . avery : was that your secretary ? dylan : uh , sharon answered the phone . i was in the other room . actually , i was getting ready to make a call about this new evidence that could help clear her . avery : how nice for her . dylan : well , yeah . since you fight for people 's innocence , i thought you 'd be happy to hear that . avery : you sound busy . maybe this is a bad time . dylan : tell me about joe 's progress . avery : because you care so much ? dylan : come on , avery . avery : you know , it sounds like we have a lot going on -- both of us -- so why do n't we just talk later ? dylan : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] chelsea : [ sighs ] [ exhales sharply ] anita : [ gasps ] ohh . honey . chelsea : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] reverend : welcome , family and friends , as we stand with chelsea and billy as they pledge their lives and their love to one another . chelsea : thank you for letting me go first , because i really want to get these words out . i never expected this day . i never expected this moment . i never expected to find such happiness again ... so filled with hope . you and i -- we , uh -- we 've written a crazy story [ laughs ] a crazy story together . but that story has gotten us here , to our love . sure , there was drama and there was some grief and some pain . but now there 's love and joy , forgiveness , understanding . and i am so excited to write the rest of our story together , because i know it is gon na be everything i 've always hoped for ... a life with you . billy : you know , when you and i became a `` we , `` i never saw it coming , but it made sense in a way -- did n't it ? -- because we knew each other 's dark sides . you know , there was no guilt . there was nowhere to hide , no reason to lie . you knew me in myanmar . i was ... getting ... drunk and running from my life , and i knew you . you were just this really hot bartender who set me up and got me locked away in a foreign prison , but , you know , whatever . bygones , right ? because we made it through . did n't we ? did we make it through to the other side ? and did n't we do that with honesty and with understanding ? i mean , we were just two people who -- who fell in love despite our past , right ? and we 're better people for it , so bravo , us . and then , uh -- then i found out that i was wrong ... because you did n't change , chelsea , 'cause you set me up again and you lied to me . except this time ... my prison would have been in a marriage to you . so , that whole piece about `` do you take this woman ? `` nope . no way in hell . michael : hey . paul : hey . michael : got a moment ? paul : uh , yeah , but i do n't suppose it 's to grab a cup of coffee and have a conversation with a friend . michael : well , as a friend , i advise you to reopen the investigation into courtney and austin 's murder . you do n't have the killer , and the public 's still in danger . paul : come on , michael . really ? michael : i have new evidence from an independent lab which indicates sharon is being set up and that we have an extremely devious murderer on the loose . paul : oh . meanwhile , i have new evidence ... that proves that sharon knew exactly what she was doing and how beautifully she conned you . kevin : the theory is sharon killed austin to bury the interview she gave about nick and then killed courtney to bury the security - camera shot . mariah : of sharon sneaking in to austin 's apartment building , where he was not killed ? summer : proves that she stalked my husband at our home . mariah : well , since he was killed at the cabin , she was n't much of a stalker , was she ? noah : that part 's not gon na matter to the cops . they 're just gon na focus on the fact that she was looking for austin the night that he died . kevin : it 's not just the location that 's weird . this screen shot -- there 's something off about it . ashley : billy , what is wrong with you ? chelsea : okay , billy . we do n't have to do this right now , okay ? why do n't we just go -- billy : no , no , no . no . no . this is -- this is the honesty part , right ? we agreed there 'd be no more secrets . so , let me just catch everybody up , in case you 're unclear . our neighbor gabe -- he stopped by to do a little knocking , and he came away with more than just a cup of sugar , if you know what i mean . by that , i mean sex . the two of them -- they had some sex . abby : great -- the public - humiliation portion of the wedding . i 've had enough of that for a lifetime . kyle : yeah . come on . billy : it 's funny , is n't it , jack -- i mean , your good buddy gabe and my fiancée , chelsea ? you know , the truth of it is that you and me -- we 're not saints . we 've certainly made a lot of mistakes , have n't we ? but i grew up , which is ironic that i 'm the one that grew up here , but i decided that i was done with that . i was ready to stop making mistakes . but for chelsea , a cheap thrill was worth more than a marriage to a chump like me , i guess . anita : have you been drinking , billy ? because my daughter adores you . billy : and you adore my bank account . have you asked yourself , has chelsea bothered to deny any of this ? chelsea : billy , can we just please go somewhere and talk , please ? ashley : is it true , chelsea ? is billy right ? chelsea : look at me . [ voice breaking ] it was one time . it was a mistake . billy : yeah , it was , and this -- i got to say , this is the really tricky part about all this , because , like i said , i 'm no saint , but chelsea 's track record on marriage is even worse than mine , if you can believe that . so , let 's recap , shall we ? you trapped dylan into a marriage with a baby that was n't his . then you tried to trap me with a baby that was mine . but the only person that you 've actually married for true , real love was adam newman -- adam newman . you know , that should have set off some bells for me , that the one guy you really loved was a lying ... adam : okay . billy : ... murderous ... adam : okay . that was fun . billy : oh . and then there 's you . you 're another prize . chelsea has got fantastic taste . you know , sage , you 're lucky you got out of this when you did . sage : this is your drama , all right ? you leave me out of it . adam : billy , you want to fight somebody ? leave her alone and fight me . billy : you know what , pal ? i do n't want to be anywhere near you . but i do hope that you and this lying con - artist slut live happily ever after . adam : well , here we go ! billy : let 's . adam : here we go ! chelsea : stop it ! stop ! joe : maybe you should try a set of these .

ana : nothing . we just want to erase any memory people might have her of her being busted for plagiarism and being dropped from the label . no offense . tessa : no , no , no , no . none taken . it happened , so ... ana : mm - hmm . mariah : i totally get your logic behind that , but ... i 'm afraid that her essence might get lost with some crazy costume or hairstyle , and what she has is so unique . i just want that to shine through . ana : i hear you . and if we cultivate the right image for her , it will only enhance her voice and the music . mariah : that 's great . great . maybe we could just look for something that feels a little bit more her . ana : or maybe we should start by focusing on the music first . tessa : absolutely , because i can not wait to get into the studio . ana : me , too . traci : i ca n't believe that neil is really gone . [ sighs ] he was too young . jill : yeah , that he was . traci : when colleen died , he gave the most heartfelt eulogy . i remember he said some things that just stick in my mind bright as day . he said that she knew when to let lily cry and how to make lily laugh , and that 's neil . he was like that to everyone . he was such a good friend . jill : he was . he was . traci : he also said that my sweet girl would continue to watch over all of us . and now he 's up there helping her . jill : he used to look after everybody . when we used to visit them on the holidays , you know , cane and lily and the kids , oh , those were some of my best memories . traci : [ chuckles ] mm - hmm . jill : all those early christmases with charlie and mattie , and the way he doted on them ... [ sighs ] oh , my god . it 's such a shame to think that that family may be falling apart now . traci : it was the last thing that neil would want , and his heart was breaking for everyone . jill : no doubt of that . i 'm so glad he got to spend time with lily at lakewood , though , standing by her side , talking through all the problems , giving her advice , giving her counsel . i wish i 'd be here more for cane , to do that for him . but i 'm glad he had you . traci : oh ... jill : no . no , no , no , no . i mean , really . traci : well , he has been doing some serious introspection , and it is inspiring to watch . jill : mm . traci : i 'm sort of holding out hope that they 'll be able to work this out . jill : you know , i hope that , too , i really do , but ... sometimes , marriages just run their course . we 've had a few of those , yes ? traci : [ chuckles ] jill : i just hope that he 's not holding on to some unrealistic fantasy . traci : well , i 'm sure he 's working through it the best he can . jill : mm . abby : hi , ladies ! i just wanted to make sure you 're enjoying your meal . jill : oh , it 's great . abby : good . traci : oh , sweetie , it was wonderful . will you please pass along our compliments to lola ? abby : well , i will let you tell her yourself . traci : oh ! abby : lola ! traci : hi , honey . lola : hi ! traci : hi . lola , this is jill . jill 's billy 's mother . jill : hi . traci : lola rosales . lola : nice to meet you . jill : nice to meet you . lola : i hope everything was okay . jill : great . it was great . traci : it was magnificent . everything you 're doing here is so creative . jill : and she is a sucker for creative types .

[ scene_break ] sharon : is it all - out war ? is that what 's going on ? victor : i removed nicholas from the position of c.e.o . so he could concentrate on his marriage . but i guess they do n't see that . sharon : wait a minute , who 's `` they ? `` victor : nikki , nicholas and victoria have formed an alliance . sharon : nikki has sided with them against you ? victor : in retaliation . because she disagreed with my removing phyllis from n.v.p . sharon : well , i really appreciate you doing that for me . but , victor , what 's this gon na do to you and your wife ?

[ scene_break ] nick : i was at the police station after lauren was arrested . michael wanted to be there for his wife . victor : that 's neither here nor there . nick : how can you say that ? think about everything you did when you found out mom could go to prison for diane 's death . how can you not understand michael needing to be there for lauren ? victor : son , well before she got into trouble , i asked him to make a phone call . he did n't , okay ? nick : well , did you give him another chance ? victor : you bet i did . i gave him a phone number to call someone higher up in the hierarchy of the s.e.c . again , he blew me off . nick : well , knowing michael the way i do , i 'm sure he was about to pick up the phone once he got word about lauren . victor : she was n't arraigned until the next morning . are you telling me he did n't have ten minutes to make a phone call ? that 's ridiculous . nick : maybe his mind was on other things , dad . victor : it will be for the foreseeable future , son . when you work for me as my counsel , you pay 100 % attention at all times . nick : you know , michael knows this business inside and out . how are you going to replace him ? victor : do n't worry about it . i already made an offer to someone else . nick : to who ? ( knock on door ) victor : come in . hi , avery . avery : hello . victor : i hope you accepted my offer to become my lawyer . [ scene_break ] lauren : i voted against adam becoming c.e.o . and the sale of beauty of nature , although both motions were approved by the board . blaine : and to your knowledge , all processes and procedures laid out in the bylaws were followed ? lauren : oh , yes . littleton : so nothing you experienced would support a claim that the sale was questionable ? lauren : oh , not at all . i may not have approved of the outcome , but believe me , the board proceedings were by the book . littleton : okay , thank you for your time , ms. fenmore . lauren : absolutely . thank you . michael : i will show you out . littleton : thank you . lauren : thank you . ( sighs ) jill : everything okay ? lauren : yeah . they just wanted to talk about the sale of beauty of nature . i have the feeling that victor is gon na try and claim that it was invalid . jill : was it ? lauren : not at all . jill : great . i hope the feds really put the screws to him . after what he 's done to our family , he deserves every bad thing that happens to him . lauren : exactly . i agree . you know , with all this going on , he 's gon na regret firing you . michael : oh , no . actually , i think he 's already found a replacement .

[ scene_break ] ( door closes ) ashley : ( sighs ) glad you 're here . i need to talk to my big bro . jack : sure . what 's going on ? ashley : tucker 's been lying to me again . jack : oh , boy . ashley : sometimes i feel like he just completely disregards my feelings . i begged him not to pursue beauty of nature , but he did it anyway . ( laughs ) and you know that falling - out he had with sofia ? jack : yeah . ashley : that was just a big scam they cooked up together for her to get into the company so she could spy for him . he led me to believe they were n't even speaking , so there i was , trying to console my husband , thinking he 'd lost his closest friend , and he just played along . he did n't even trust me enough to confide in me . jack : i can see why you 're upset . ashley : ( voice breaking ) sometimes i feel like i do n't even know who he is . and you know what really makes me crazy ? ( normal voice ) he does n't get it , jack . he does n't understand that it 's not okay for him to keep things from his wife . [ scene_break ] genevieve : you promised me . you ca n't back out now . tucker : i believe i just did , and i never promised you anything . genevieve . hmm . you did . you told me that you would always be there for me . do you remember that ? tucker : ( laughs ) ( sighs ) such a long , long time ago . genevieve : yeah . we were just kids , and we had big dreams , and we talked about going out into the world and making our fortunes . but we agreed that , no matter what happened , that we would always be the best of friends . tucker : yeah . and then you ran off and found yourself a rich crime lord . genevieve : ( sighs ) tucker : hmm ? easier to marry a fortune than make one , right ? genevieve : i never stopped thinking about you . tucker : how was i supposed to know that ? as far as i could tell , you became mrs. colin atkinson , settled down in australia , never looked back . [ scene_break ] kyle : see , i do n't know what victor 's gon na have me doing , but whatever it is , i 'm sure i 'll love working at newman . adam : because it 's not jabot and you 'd be upsetting your father ? kyle : ( laughs ) he 'll get over it . adam : listen , i 'm no fan of jack 's , and i know , uh , what 's going down between he and nikki is a little messed up where you 're concerned ... kyle : ( laughs ) adam : but , uh , my father is no prize , either , kyle . kyle : look , i know he and my mom had some issues ... but he 's always been straight with me . adam : your mother was my friend . a lot of people did n't behave too admirably , including myself , where she was concerned . god knows she had her faults , but she loved you very much . i want you to know that she always put you first . kyle : yeah , whereas dad ... ( chuckles ) not so much . adam : well , jack abbott is a self - absorbed guy . he 's got a short attention span , does n't make for good parenting material , but then again , i 'm not so sure my father would elevate your faith in humanity . ( exhales sharply ) uh , who knows ? there 's always a first time for everything , right ? maybe you could have luck with him where i had none . [ scene_break ] ashley : tucker warned me , before we got married ... ( sighs ) that he 'd never been in a committed relationship before , and believe me , it shows . he has this marriage , you know . that 's his personal life , and he 's got his work . that 's his professional life , and he wants to keep them completely separate , nothing his wife needs to be privy to . jack : and yet , you are all in . ashley : ( voice breaking ) am i wrong , jack ? should i not feel betrayed by him ? am i expecting too much from my husband ? jack : a - ash , i - i hate to say it , it -- tucker is sounding more and more like someone else you were married to . ashley : ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] victor : for want of a simple phone call from your predecessor , my defensive strategy to save beauty of nature was blown to bits . now the s.e.c . is breathing down my neck , so we have our work cut out for us . avery : well , the ideal solution is to void the original sale . beauty of nature reverts to newman , regardless of where genevieve 's money came from or whether she illegally topped jack 's bid . from your point of view , it 's the least messy outcome . victor : you 're very smart . avery : ( chuckles ) victor : very good . that 's what i 'm hoping for -- a ruling that adam wrongfully sold the company while i was in prison . avery : mm - hmm . a lot of this is gon na depend on genevieve , how she handles questioning from the s.e.c . victor : mm - hmm . mm - hmm . between the two of us , i think the money she used to purchase beauty of nature was tainted , so whatever the s.e.c . decides to do with her is their business , not mine , okay ? [ scene_break ] genevieve : tucker , you 're one of the smartest people i know . can you come up with another solution before i have to face these guys again ? ( knock on door ) tucker : excuse me . genevieve : ( sighs ) tucker : can i help you ? littleton : yes . i 'm agent littleton . this is agent blaine . we 're with the s.e.c . ms. atkinson . tucker : well , come on in . littleton : thank you . tucker : ms. atkinson and i were just finishing up . blaine : if you do n't mind my asking , what was the nature of your meeting ? tucker : a business proposal . i was just explaining to her that it 's not something mccall , unlimited , is interested in at this time . genevieve : sorry to bother you . tucker : it 's all right . genevieve : excuse me . tucker : in my capacity as a board member , i saw nothing illegal at any of the meetings . littleton : was there any board discussion about the source of funds genevieve atkinson used to purchase beauty of nature ? tucker : not at all . the board only approved its sale to the highest bidder . ashley : excuse me , i did n't know that you were in a meeting . i 'm sorry . tucker : ah , my wife ashley . uh , these gentlemen are from the s.e.c . they had some routine questions , but i believe we 're all finished . littleton : yes . thank you for your time , mr. mccall . tucker : you 're welcome . littleton : are you certain that there 's nothing else to add about what you and ms. atkinson were discussing when we arrived ? tucker : nothing at all . littleton : okay . ashley : genevieve was here ? tucker : she wanted to know if i was still interested in beauty of nature . i told her i was n't . ashley : really ? tucker : really . ashley : well , i was hoping maybe we could have that lunch date after all and ... tucker : okay . ashley : okay ? tucker : mm - hmm . ashley : what 's that ? tucker : oh , that 's nothing . it 's just an old photo . ashley : no , no , wait , wait , wait , wait . is that you and genevieve ? tucker : yeah , it is . ashley : where is this from ? tucker : we knew each other when we were kids . we were friends for a while . then she took off to travel the world . ashley : it never occurred to you that i should know about this ? tucker : ( laughs ) it was such a long time ago , i did n't think it mattered . ashley : you did n't think it mattered ? she almost married my brother . she 's been involved with my family and my family 's business . i ca n't believe you 've been hiding this from me .

chelsea : not yet , but when i do , you will be the first to know . it 's exciting . chloe : this feels good -- us working together again . chelsea : it 's really nice to see you happy again . chloe : well , it 's not just because i have my best friend back . chelsea : oh ? chloe : i 'm having a baby . additional sponsorship provided by ... kelly : you know , why should n't -- why should n't i tell people your secret ? stitch : the same reason you should n't have told my wife -- ex - wife . kelly : i stand by my conviction that jenna deserved to know . stitch : what about victoria ? does she ? kelly : i 'd sure want to know if i were her . stitch : will you stop playing with me , kelly ? either you 're gon na say something or not -- which is it ? kelly : well , maybe i have n't decided which . stitch : you know , you have n't said anything yet . kelly : does n't mean i wo n't . stitch : what , are you getting some kind of sick thrill out of holding this over my head ? kelly : no . this is n't a game to me . stitch : okay , then stop toying with me , kelly . you know that billy 's out there asking questions about me . you know that you 're the one with the answers . you 're the only one who could tell jenna . kelly : look , when i -- when i told jenna what you did , i was in a bad place . i - i - i just lost everything ... and there you were , with a wife and a son , and you were so happy . it just -- i could n't stand it . stitch : destroying my life -- that make you feel better ? kelly : no , it did n't . but i am getting better now and starting a new life ... here . stitch : yeah , and starting to believe that i deserve one , too ? kelly : look , this does n't mean that i forgive you or that i ever will . i mean , i just do n't want to punish you anymore . stitch : okay , then you wo n't say anything ? kelly : i think it 's time we both moved on . jack : billy , i know how difficult this must be for you -- seeing victoria with another man . billy : okay , great , so you 'll help me ? jack : you may be looking for something that does n't exist . billy : jack , this does exist . stitch is hiding something , and kelly knows what is . jack : for what it 's worth , when kelly and i were out the other night , i brought up stitch . billy : and what 'd she say ? jack : she said they were once close . they 've had a falling out . billy : well , does n't that tell you something ? jack : yeah , that she does n't want to talk about it . billy : jack , she is covering for him . do n't you want to know what it is ? i sure as hell do . jack : if kelly brings up stitch , i 'll see what i can find out , but i 'm not going to spy for you . that would n't be fair to kelly . billy : okay , you 're right . all right , it 's not fair for me to put you in that situation , especially since you 're just starting to see someone for the first time since phyllis . look , forget i asked . i wo n't bring it up again . jack : does that mean you 're gon na let this go ? billy : [ chuckles ] no . i 'm gon na find out what stitch is hiding on my own . jack : [ sighs ] michael : hey . kevin : michael . you here to defend an unjustly accused client ? michael : [ chuckles ] not today . i came to talk to you . you did n't return my phone calls . kevin : oh , yeah . you know , i 've been swamped . paul can be a real slave driver , and do n't even get me started on chavez . guy thinks he owns me . see all these dd4s ? all his , but who 's entering them into the computer ? michael : i know why you 're avoiding me , kevin . kevin : i told you -- i 've been busy . michael : lauren talked to chloe yesterday . she told lauren that you 'd given up on your marriage ... kevin : being a marriage ? yeah , that 's true . michael : well , what happened ? kevin : uh , nothing . just like you said , a piece of paper was n't gon na make chloe fall back in love with me , and , uh , i finally realized that . chelsea : did you say you 're having a baby ? chloe : i know . i know . it 's not what you expected to hear . chelsea : [ chuckling ] no , it was n't , but ... congratulations . you and kevin must be so -- chloe : oh , i 'm not having a baby with kevin . chelsea : but you just said -- chloe : i 'm having a baby , but not with kevin , and not -- not yet . i 'm not pregnant yet . chelsea : okay , so , um -- so , you 're -- you 're planning on having a baby , just not with your husband ? chloe : right . chelsea : okay , i 'm confused . um , i thought you and kevin were doing well . i mean , that 's the impression i got . chloe : from who ? kevin ? chelsea : yeah . he came to see me the other day to make sure i was serious about giving you a second chance . chloe : yeah , well , he was probably just making sure that i have you to count on , now that i ca n't lean on him . chelsea : because you do n't love him ? chloe : no . i do love him , and that 's why i had to be honest with him . i ca n't go on letting him think that there 's gon na be a future with us together . it 's just -- it 's not good for either of us . chelsea : so , you love kevin , but you 're -- chloe : but i 'm not in love with him , and he 's accepted that , and we are moving on with our lives . chelsea : okay , so , if you 're not having a baby with kevin ... who are you having a baby with ? paul : do you have any proof that dylan was following you ? ian : are you saying you do n't share my suspicions , chief ? paul : i deal in facts , and so far you have n't given me any facts about this alleged incident . ian : it 's a fact someone was following me . and it 's a fact , after my release from jail , my son has shown me nothing but contempt . paul : okay , ward , you know , if i were to arrest everyone who could n't stand the sight of you , county jail would be full . ian : [ scoffing ] oh . you misunderstand me , paul . i do n't want you to arrest my son . i want you to prove that my fears are unfounded . paul : oh . this is a new game . you 're gon na have to explain the rules to me . ian : i do n't want to believe that my son is headed down a dark path . i want you to tell me that you found some evidence proving that someone else broke into my room . paul : oh . well , we did n't find any evidence that points to anyone . in fact , whoever broke into your room was able to evade hotel security . ian : he 's determined we not know his identity , huh -- whoever he is . paul : i 'll make a note of your new complaint . ian : that 's it ? paul : until you come up with something substantial , yeah , that 's it . [ knock on door ] paul : come in . christine : hey , i was hoping -- i did n't know you were busy . ian : i was just leaving . no hard feelings , by the way , for working with that prosecutor in madison to convict me . christine : then you 'll understand when we re - try you . ian : [ chuckles ] it 's a pity to waste taxpayers ' money . paul , you 'll let me know if you get any new information on that matter we discussed . christine : [ scoffs ] what was that all about ? paul : [ sighs ] dylan . and i hope ian 's wrong . dylan : it had to be ian . he made a point of telling us he saw your pilot . he knows your address . avery : no , it 's -- it ca n't be him . when ian taunts someone , he wants the person to know it 's him . he likes the feeling of power that it gives him . dylan : i 'm not gon na let him get away with this . avery : okay , you promised me that you were n't gon na let him get to you . are you going back on your word ? dylan : okay , you 're right . i 'm making too big a deal out of this . avery : and i hate to see you upset , especially if it 's for nothing . dylan : i 'm not upset . avery : [ sighs ] dylan : okay ? i promise . this is my not - upset face . [ knock on door ] dylan : there 's your crew . avery : mm - hmm . [ sighs ] [ door opens ] avery : hi . how are you ? come in . hello . michael : you just suddenly woke up one morning and realized that chloe is never gon na love you ? kevin : michael , people have epiphanies all the time . michael : name one . kevin : britney spears -- after she shaved her head . fine . i overheard chloe talking to chelsea . michael : saying that she did n't want to be with you anymore ? kevin : saying that connor and chelsea were her entire life , and without them , she has nothing . i read between the lines . michael : i 'm sorry . kevin : do n't be . it 's a relief . do you know how much time and energy i spent trying to convince chloe we should have a life together ? it was exhausting . now i can , you know , take a breath , try and focus on having a life of my own . michael : and you 're okay with that ? kevin : what do you want me to do , michael -- fall apart , convince chloe one more time that we should be together ? michael : i would just like you to be honest . this has to be killing you inside . you have to talk to somebody . kevin : well , there 's always gloria . michael : [ chuckles ] kevin : okay , i thought that if chloe and i were married , living in the same house , that we could get back to being us again . she does n't want it . maybe she ca n't forgive me for screwing things up the first time , maybe losing delia changed her too much , or maybe it 's just not meant to be . whatever the reason is , i have to accept the truth -- chloe and i -- we -- we had this thing that was fantastic . we do n't have it anymore . michael : but you 're still married , and you 're still living in the same house . kevin : i made a commitment -- no strings attached . michael : that 's admirable , but you need to think of yourself . kevin : meaning ? michael : i can get you out of the legal commitment you made to chloe if you want me to . chloe : there is someone that i have in mind to be the father of my child . chelsea : but it 's not kevin ? chloe : no . chelsea : are you seeing someone else ? chloe : god , no . chelsea : but you said you know who you want to father your baby . chloe : i know the kind of father i want for my baby . chelsea : okay , okay , this will all be a lot more simple if you just tell me how you plan on getting pregnant . chloe : by a donor . chelsea : you 're gon na get someone to give you his sperm ? chloe : not just someone . my baby 's father is going to be funny , sweet , sensitive . he is going to push boundaries and -- and march by the beat of his own drum -- a charmer who -- who can get into and out of any situation just flashing his sexy smile . this man is going to help me make another delia . chelsea : [ sighs ] i - i can understand why you would want that , chloe , but delia was ... chloe : perfect . chelsea : [ sighs ] and irreplaceable . i mean , losing her left a huge void in your life . chloe : and this baby is going to fill that void , and everything will finally be okay . chelsea : chloe , a new baby is not gon na make everything okay . billy : oh , hey . victoria : oh . billy : thanks . did n't even have to knock . victoria : billy , what 's going on ? billy : i 'm here to see my son . it 's my day . victoria : [ gasps ] oh . [ sighs ] oh , my god . i completely forgot . he 's out with hannah . billy : oh , well , nice . after you told me that you were n't gon na keep me from him . victoria : no , i -- wait . hold on . i swear , i 'm not . i just messed up the dates . that 's all . i 'll text hannah right now . [ sighs ] where 's my phone ? billy : it 's right here . what 's up , victoria ? victoria : what do you mean ? nothing . billy : well , you 're forgetting that it 's my day with johnny , leaving without your phone . i bet you do n't even have your keys , do you ? right over there . so what 's going on , victoria ? victoria : nothing 's going on , okay ? i overslept , and i 'm late for an appointment , and i completely spaced that it was your day with johnny . billy : how could you forget something like that ? you know how important these visits are to me . victoria : okay , listen , it was just an honest mistake . do you really think that i 'd try to keep your son from you ? billy : i - i would hope not . victoria : god , i ca n't believe that you actually think i would do anything to hurt either one of you like that . billy : look , it 's just hard not to jump to these kind of conclusions , especially given our circumstances these days . victoria : i would never make our child suffer because of something that 's going on between us . billy : all right . i - i did n't think you would . victoria : okay . thank you . hannah texted . she 's bringing johnny back by , so if you want to wait , you can . billy : yeah . i do . victoria : okay . i 'll see you later . billy : hey , vicki . look , it 's good to know that , whatever happens between us , we 'll always put our son first . kelly : the final invoice for the fashion show . jack : you could have e - mailed this . kelly : i know . jack : so why did n't you ? kelly : i wanted to see you . jack : honesty -- very refreshing . kelly : i wanted to make sure that you were okay after our talk . jack : our talk about phyllis , you mean ? kelly : i hope i did n't push you to do something that you were n't ready to do . jack : sometimes we need to be pushed . kelly : i do n't know . i - i did n't think anything could push me past losing sam . jack : so what did ? kelly : oh , man . i do n't know -- this and that . a series of steps , i guess , back and forth until , uh ... here i am . it 's kind of scary . jack : kind of exciting , too . so , what do we do now ? kelly : do you like italian films ? jack : does `` the godfather `` count ? kelly : yeah . [ chuckles ] okay , so , um , i know what we 're gon na do next . jack : you 're thinking of taking me on a date ? kelly : i am . i 'll pay . [ chuckles ] jack : now ? kelly : if you have time . jack : i do . kelly : are you sure ? jack : here 's what i 'm sure of -- when something 's important , you make time . avery : i 'm still somewhere between excited and disbelief that this is actually happening . austin : oh , i never doubted for a minute that you 'd win people over . avery : well , i 've been told i can be pretty persuasive -- uh , usually by the opposing counsel and usually not in a good way . [ chuckles ] austin : it worked to your advantage this time , right ? avery : well , if i 'm gon na impress anybody , i guess i have to finish setting up . so excuse me . i 'll be right back . okay , yes . dylan : austin . austin : yeah ? dylan : can you do me a favor ? austin : sure , if i can . dylan : yeah , i got to go . uh , there 's something i need to take care of . can you just keep an eye on things during the shoot and let me know if you see anything off ? austin : what do you mean , `` off `` ? dylan : you know , something that 's not right -- maybe somebody hanging out in the hall that should n't be , any kind of weird deliveries , anything like that . austin : okay , what 's up ? dylan : avery got these flowers anonymously , and she does n't really think it 's a big deal , but i just -- you know , i like to be cautious . austin : look , i would n't flip out over a bunch of roses . overzealous fans -- they 're better than no fans . dylan : maybe , but i could do without the nut jobs and all the hatred . austin : you 've been reading the message boards . dylan : yeah , there 's some real jerks out there , you know ? austin : yeah , look , it 's easy to rip someone anonymously , but i 'd follow avery 's lead on this one . you do n't want to let one gift get to you . dylan : yeah , you 're probably right . still , let me know if you notice anything ... austin : sure . dylan : ... because if somebody is messing with avery , they wo n't be for long . christine : how far do you think dylan would go to protect the ones he loves ? paul : [ sighs ] are you asking if i think dylan 's the one harassing ian ? christine : do you ? paul : it 's possible . christine : well , he 's not the only one who wants to see ward sweat . paul : that 's a long list , and most of the people on it are newmans . christine : yeah , well , as d.a . , i hope no one does anything ill - advised , but as a private citizen , i am not sorry that someone 's trying to make ian 's life uncomfortable . paul : neither am i . but unfortunately i 'm sworn to protect all the people of this fair city . christine : yes . and that is why you are the chief of police . good , decent , and honest . paul : i feel a segue coming . christine : i want to ask you a question , and i want you to be honest . paul : okay . christine : we never had a chance to talk the other day after i told you i might want to have a baby . paul : right . i know . we 've been busy . christine : i know . but i really wanted to give you a chance to think about it . paul : i 've thought about it a lot . christine : okay . [ sighs ] do you want to have a baby ? avery : let me know when you 're ready . austin : sure thing . avery : how do i look ? dylan ? dylan : oh . yeah . i 'm sorry . i was just thinking . you know what ? i should go . it 's probably better here that i 'm not distracting you . avery : okay . normally , i would n't mind the distraction , but you 're right . i think i need to focus . i 'm still not completely comfortable on - camera . dylan : just be yourself , like austin said . that 's what the fans love about you . avery : okay . austin : avery , we are all set . avery : oh , okay . i 'll be right there . austin : cool . avery : thank you . thank you for being so supportive . i love you . dylan : i love you , too , and i will always , always have your back . avery : okay . ahh . all right . so ... austin : we 're good to go . avery : all right . austin : let 's do this . chloe : after you gave up johnny , you wanted to have another baby . you miscarried , and then you had another child . i do n't understand how that 's different . chelsea : chloe , i had a husband . we were starting a family together , and if you remember correctly , even connor was n't planned . chloe : but this is , and i 've thought the whole thing through . chelsea : you are not thinking clearly . chloe : i am thinking clearly ! and why do people keep on saying that ? ! [ sighs ] chelsea : listen , i 'm just concerned that it 's too soon for you to have a baby . i mean , you 're still mourning delia . chloe : i am gon na be mourning delia my entire life . i ca n't let that stop me from living . chelsea : no , of course not . i just -- i do n't think that this is the right way to move forward . what does your therapist say ? chloe : i have n't talked to her about it yet . chelsea : chloe , you have to . chloe : i know . i will . but , chelsea , i know that i am doing the right thing . if i have a baby , it will make me whole again , especially if i do it with the right man . billy : [ high - pitched voice ] oh , save me . save me , please . i need help . [ deep voice ] oh , here i come . ooh , i 'm gon na step on your train . your little car here -- rah ! [ chuckles ] [ normal voice ] get your little trucks here . there you go . huh ? you want to knock that over ? come on . [ knock on door ] billy : mm . i 'll be right back . you keep an eye on the fairy princess for me , huh ? all right ? you 're lucky i have insurance on that ' ' ' vette . stitch : billy . i did n't expect to see you here . billy : yeah , i wish i could say the same . stitch : i came to see victoria . billy : oh , she 's not here , but i am . i 'm spending time with my son , so hasta la vista . stitch : okay , could you give this to her ? it 's chicken soup . she said she was n't feeling well . billy : that 's strange that she did n't say anything to me about it . dr. chiverton : i appreciate you putting a rush on that . [ door closes ] dr. chiverton : that was the lab . victoria : what did they say ? dr. chiverton : they confirmed what you thought . congratulations , victoria . you are pregnant . victoria : [ sighs ] christine : we can always talk about this another time . paul : no , no , no . you know , if we keep putting it off , we are never gon na find time to discuss it . let 's see if we can string , like , five uninterrupted minutes together . christine : okay , go . paul : [ chuckling ] okay . uh , i do n't know , chris . you know ... being a father has , um ... always been a challenge for me . and , uh , heather and ricky were not born under ideal conditions , and you know i - i tried to make up for that . i did better with heather than i did with ricky , obviously . i never thought that , um ... i 'd have another chance to be a dad again . christine : and now that you do ? paul : the timing is certainly better . and , uh , we are a certainly reasonable facsimile of , uh , mature adults , do n't you think ? and the job situation seems to be rather stable right now . so ... christine : but ? paul : no `` but `` at all . i just -- i guess i have a question for you right now . christine : okay . what ? paul : what made you decide to have a - a - a baby all of a sudden , change your mind ? christine : a lot of reasons . i guess the top one being if i 'm gon na do it , i really need to do it now , but it 's not just the biological clock winding down . paul : what else ? christine : [ voice breaking ] i never thought that i would be a great mother . paul : oh . christine : no , no , really . i was -- i was worried that i would have the same kind of relationship with my child that i had with my mother , and so i just put the idea in the back of my mind -- you know , completely devoted myself at work and thought that that would be enough . besides , i - i could n't do it all , right ? work and raise kids -- that 's -- that 's what i told myself . paul : now you 're having second thoughts ? christine : i love my career , and i would n't trade it for anything , but , you know , something 's missing . paul : and you think that is what it is ? christine : when i married you , [ chuckles ] my life was perfect . and then i started imagining having a little boy or a little girl with you , and `` perfect `` just seemed different . suddenly , it was diapers and 4 : 00 a.m. feedings and skinned knees and -- and braces and college tuition . look , i love you , and i love our life , but one thing would make it better . paul : having a baby . christine : having your baby . [ chuckles ] ahh . so what do you say ? paul : i say you 're beautiful , and i think you 're right . so do you want to start trying tonight ? christine : yeah . paul : i love you . christine : i love you . [ chuckles , sighs ] victoria : wow . i mean , i - i almost ca n't believe it . you guys said that it would take a miracle for me to get pregnant . dr. chiverton : if those keep popping up , us medical types are gon na start believing in them . victoria : i ... um , dr . chiverton , i mean , does everything look okay ? i mean , as far as you can tell ? dr. chiverton : your lab results show normal hormone levels . you appear to be in excellent health . victoria : okay , because with my history of , um , the miscarriages and everything ... dr. chiverton : well , we 'll have to keep an eye on you and the baby , but so far , everything looks good . victoria : okay . dr. chiverton : now , i see from your medical records you and your husband went through fertility treatments last year . you must be anxious to give him the good news . victoria : oh , yeah , i mean ... i guess if this were a few months ago , i would have been . dr. chiverton : and now ? victoria : i do n't know if billy is ... the baby 's father . dr. chiverton : i see . well , your medical records are completely confidential . at some point , it would be a good idea to get the father 's medical history , but there is no rush now . stitch : look , victoria probably did n't want to worry you . it 's not like her illness was that serious . billy : serious enough for you to make a `` house call . `` stitch : i do n't want to intrude on your time with your son . billy : listen , stitch , do n't get used to coming by here without an invite , all right ? this is my house . johnny 's my son , and victoria 's my wife . stitch : for now . billy : you know , you 're a cocky son of a bitch for someone who 's hiding something , which i will find out about . stitch : look all you want , billy -- you wo n't find a thing . billy : do n't bet on it , doc . kelly : what did you think ? jack : i thought it was very italian . kelly : [ laughs ] that 's terrible . you did n't like it ? jack : no , no . well i -- you know what ? here 's my issue with all foreign film -- why ca n't one character be honest and forthright ? christine : [ sighs ] you mean , `` why ca n't they speak english ? `` jack : no . why ca n't they just meet ...

[ voice breaking ] she did n't make it . summer : oh , my god . we need to go right now . we need to go be with dad right now . um ... did you drive here ? noah : marisa dropped me off . she has the car . luca : hey . take mine . summer : are you sure ? luca : yeah , absolutely . i 'll call a car service . come on . go , please . be with your father . summer : thank you . thank you . okay . okay . luca : well ... victor . it seems tragedy has cursed your family once again . look how things are falling apart around here without you . but that 's just what you wanted , is n't it ? [ knock on door ] paul : yeah ? come in . ah . yeah . thanks , gary . sharon : this is gon na be hard to understand ... because ... well , it 's hard for us to understand . there was an accident last night . faith : what kind of accident ? dylan : sage ... was , uh , driving her car . she lost control . and she , uh -- she passed away . that 's why your mom 's sad ... and that 's why we 're all sad . faith : no . sage is gone ? i 'll never see her again ? dylan : hey , you know what 's really special ? even though sage wo n't be here with us ... the love that you guys shared will never disappear . it 's a warmth inside of you that 's gon na live on forever . can you feel that ? faith : i think so . i just have to think of sage and i 'll be able to feel it ? dylan : exactly . i mean , we were so blessed to know sage . and she was really blessed to know you . you know why ? because you gave her a chance to do something she always wanted to . and that was to be a mom . i know this is tough for you to understand . so , if you have any questions , whatever you need , we 're here for you , okay ? sharon : if you , uh -- if you want to talk or you just want to sit , or we could play a game , take our mind off it -- faith : i want to see daddy . dylan : well , um , i just -- i just called in to work , but maybe you can take her over there . sharon : you know , i would in a heartbeat , but the sitter just called and canceled last - minute . dylan : yeah , but , i mean , i 'm sure it 's okay . you can -- you can take sully . sharon : yeah . it 's just ... nick has so much to deal with . dylan : i mean , but one smile from faith or , you know , from our little boy might be exactly what he needs right now . adam : she saved me , you know . she literally brought me back to life . chelsea : yeah . she brought you back to me . she brought you back to connor . adam : you know , all those months i was laying in that bed , and i was ... i could n't take care of myself , you know ? she fed me . she nursed me back to health . she , uh -- she did n't have to do that . she 's a good person , you know ? she just -- she lost so much . she lost her parents . she lost constance , gabriel ... her child . chelsea : yeah , and she -- she managed to rise above so much , and ... you know , you should remember that you were a really , really , good friend to her . adam : was i ? honey , was i ? i lied to her about christian , about being the father . i kept that from her . i lied to her , and now she 's -- chelsea : would it have been better for her to know the truth ? sage wanted that baby to be nick 's , and you know it . so from where i 'm standing , adam , you gave her a gift . you let her believe that he really was nick 's . i do n't know . maybe -- you know , maybe -- maybe she died not knowing the whole truth , but at least -- at least she was at peace . adam : i ca n't believe she 's gone . connor : [ crying ] chelsea : let me get him . i 'll go get him . dylan : how 's it going ? paul : i 've been better . how 'bout you ? dylan : oh , you know , just trying to focus on work . it 's the only thing that seems to help . any leads on what caused the accident ? paul : uh , none -- until this landed on my desk . dylan : no . do n't tell me sage was texting or talking when she crashed . paul : i 'm afraid so . she was initiating an outgoing call minutes before sharon called 911 , so it looks like she was trying to make a phone call , got distracted , and took her eyes off the road . dylan : was it to nick ? 'cause i do n't know if he 'd be able to handle that . paul : actually , uh , no , it was n't . the last call that sage made was to adam . summer : do you want me to make you something to eat ? or we can go out . nick : i 'm not hungry . noah : we could go to the park -- you know , just get out of this place for a little while . nick : i just want to be alone . summer : but , dad , that 's crazy . noah : yeah . are you sure that 's a good idea ? victoria : i think you need your family around you . nick : what i 'd like is for you all to just respect my wishes , please . faith : daddy ! [ crying ] nick : are you okay ? faith : are you ? nick : yeah , i 'm better . i 'm just really sad , you know ? i 'm gon na miss sage a lot . faith : but she wo n't be completely gone , right ? her love for us will still be here ? nick : yes . yes . you save that place in your heart that you reserved for sage , okay ? faith : i 'll put her right next to christian . nick : yeah . you know he 's the lucky one , right ? 'cause right now your little brother 's in heaven with sage . he is tucked inside her arms . she 's gon na keep him safe forever and ever . dylan : sharon broke the news to chelsea this morning . paul : did chelsea happen to mention the phone call to adam ? dylan : no . paul : so it stands to reason that she did n't know about it or at least she did n't know that it directly preceded sage 's accident . how 's sharon doing ? she was pretty shaken up last night . dylan : yeah . she still is . she calmed down about 2 : 00 in the morning and gave me some more answers . apparently , sage was coming from a business meeting at the house . paul : your house ? dylan : yeah . paul : something bothering you about that ? dylan : no . i 'm just hung up on the phone call with adam . i want to talk to him about it . i know it 's not gon na change anything , but maybe -- maybe knowing all the facts will give nick some peace . faith : i 'm glad sage and christian are together up in heaven , but ... nick : but what ? what 's -- what 's on your mind ? faith : what if christian wants his daddy with him , too ? nick : that 's not gon na happen , okay ? you 're stuck with me and your mommy for a really long time , okay ? right , sharon ? sharon : that 's right , sweetie . nick : no one 's gon na keep us from us our kids . faith : promise ? i pinky - promise . nick : [ crying ] i love you . faith : i love you , too , daddy . is it okay if i go upstairs and read `` anne of green gables `` ? sharon : that 's a really good idea , sweetie . nick : [ sniffles ] yeah . i think sage will hear every word . sharon : i hope it 's okay that i brought her . faith really needed to see you . nick : no . no . i -- [ sighs ] i needed to see her . thank you . sharon : nick , do n't thank me . nick : you did all the heavy lifting . you , uh -- you had to tell -- tell faith about sage . sharon : let 's just not talk about that right now , okay ? nick : i - i have to . what happened , you know , when you found sage ? did she say anything ? sage : will you promise me you 'll tell nick that it 's his baby ? nick : what were my wife 's last words ? noah : felt so wrong , just leaving dad like that . summer : i know . victoria : it was the right thing to do . he needs some time and space to process everything . and do n't forget , faith 's with him . victoria : what are you doing here ? summer : i asked him to meet us here . luca : how 's your father ? victoria : you asked him to wait in my office ? summer : yeah . we had a meeting this morning . remember ? luca would like to offer his services to newman . victoria : your services ? of the lying , backstabbing variety ? luca : no . i 'm gon na help make this company stronger than ever before , victoria . noah : we do n't want or need your help , luca . my aunt has everything under control . luca : i 'm not sure either one of you believes that . noah : going with the insults now ? luca : that was n't meant to be an insult . ca n't you just -- ca n't you see that i want to help ? noah : goodbye , luca . summer : seriously , noah ? you 're not even giving him a chance . noah : dad just lost his wife , summer . do you think now is the best time to be pitching luca ? victoria : my nephew said goodbye . summer : i 'm sorry . luca : no , it 's okay . do n't be . i understand completely . please give my condolences to your father . summer : yeah . here . luca : thanks . noah : can you believe that guy ? summer : seriously , noah ? really ? you know , i am with luca now -- kyle and i broke up -- so you 're gon na start treating luca with respect . chelsea : connor was already back to sleep by the time i got up there . i see what you 're doing , adam . you 're thinking of the ways you could have helped sage , the ways you could have stopped her from getting in that car . adam ... you could n't have been there . you could n't have helped her . [ knock on door ] adam : [ sighs ] chelsea : dylan . dylan : hey . hi . i was actually here to see , uh , adam . chelsea : come in . adam : you , um -- you 're here in a professional capacity , dylan ? dylan : unfortunately , yes . i 'm here investigating sage 's accident . chelsea : okay . well , i do n't -- i do n't think we have ... any answers for you . dylan : well ... then you could start by telling me why she called you right before she crashed her car . summer : look , i get that you have issues with luca , but do n't you need someone like that ? victoria : like what ? summer : someone who can anticipate shady dealings before we get slammed with them . look , maybe luca was right . maybe newman would n't have lost brash & sassy ! if he had been on board . noah : 'cause luca would have seen it coming . summer : yes . victoria : or maybe he would have walked off with the division himself . we ca n't trust him , summer . summer : i disagree . victoria : well , ask him about adam getting fired from his new job in chicago . noah : we know he was following grandpa 's instructions . summer : no . we do not know that at all . noah : i thought you were smarter than that , summer . summer : and i thought you were more compassionate . noah : when it comes to that guy , absolutely not . summer : look , noah , i get that luca might not have always been the most loyal or honest guy . but that 's not on him . it was the way that he was raised , okay ? look , he did n't grow up with a family like ours . the santoris are not loving or forgiving or even protective . victoria : exactly , which is why he 's gon na stab us all in the back -- again . summer : i do not understand how you can think that you are so above my boyfriend when you tried to bribe him out of my life . you insulted luca , and you insulted me , so , in my book , you owe us both . sharon : i wish i could tell you what you want to hear , but ... sage was barely conscious when i got there . i do n't think she knew i was there . nick : yeah . um ... you know , i 'm just trying to find something to hold on to , you know ? i still do n't even understand how this could happen . it does n't make any sense . sharon : i hate to say it , but ... sometimes things just do n't make sense . can i get you something ? you want some tea -- maybe something stronger ? nick : why did n't you call me ? sharon : what ? nick : after you called 911 , why did n't you try and call me ? sharon : well , i - i mean , i was a wreck . i - i - i just was n't thinking straight , clearly . i - i 'd just seen ... the only thing i could think of was protecting sully . nick : he just keeps getting cuter and cuter , huh ? sharon : i think i better get him home . nick : yeah . uh , do you mind if ... faith stays ? i ... i think i need her , and i think it 'd be good for her to be here and make her feel closer to sage . sharon : yeah . okay . nick : keep him safe . sharon : always . victoria : i should call to arrange the memorial service . do you know what kind of flowers sage liked ? noah : ohh . i 'm not sure . you could ask dad . victoria : no . he should n't be bothered with the details . noah : hey , aunt vick ... did you really bribe luca ? victoria : [ sighs ] it was n't my finest moment , but that 's how badly i want to keep luca away from summer and this company . speaking of which , i 'm really gon na need you to step up around here . your father 's gon na be needing some time . noah : yeah . i 'll do whatever i can to help . i 'm worried . should we go back ? should we check on him ? victoria : he says he wants to be alone . i think we should respect his wishes , at least for now . noah : like , family should be together . victoria : i understand . i 'm worried about him , too . but i feel like the best thing that i can do for your dad right now is stick around here and man the ship . look , if you feel differently , go see him . be with him if you want . noah : you sure ? victoria : yeah . i have everything under control . at least that 's what you told me . noah : i meant it . victoria : thank you . adam : yeah , i actually never spoke to sage . the -- the call you 're talking about went straight to my voicemail . dylan : but she left one ? adam : mm - hmm . dylan : what did she say ? adam : in the voicemail ? dylan : yeah . adam : um ... i do n't re -- it was nothing urgent . she was looking for you , actually -- something about work . dylan : did she sound upset ? adam : no . no . she -- she -- she did n't . i 'm sorry i did n't tell you about that . it sort of slipped my mind . i just figured you guys would -- dylan : well , do you mind -- do you mind if i , uh , listen to it ? adam : to the voicemail ? dylan : yeah . adam : yeah . it 's , um -- it 's -- i do n't ha -- i mean , i deleted it . so , i do n't -- i do n't have it . otherwise ... i would ... chelsea : [ clears throat ] i 'm really -- i 'm really sorry that we do n't have the answers you 're looking for . dylan : [ sighs ] well , i appreciate your time . adam : yeah . dylan : god knows this is n't easy for anybody . chelsea : will you , um , tell sharon that i 'll be in touch with her ? dylan : sure . thanks . chelsea : yeah . chelsea : it 's unlike you to ... forget to give me a message . adam : i did n't forget . the voicemail was for me , and she sounded terrible . she sounded ... desperate to talk to me . summer : [ sighs ] well , that was fun with my aunt and brother . luca : i think they like me . summer : well , if it makes you feel any better , i ripped into them once you left . luca : a force to be reckoned with . the corporate world better watch out . summer : or not . i do n't think i 'll be sticking around . luca : please . your family would never get rid of you . the newmans are far too loyal . not to mention they 'd be foolish not to recognize your talent . summer : thanks , but , no , if i leave , it 'd be my choice . luca : summer , you have to stay at newman . summer : why ? you want me to work at a place where the people ca n't stand you and tear you down every chance that they get ? luca : no . i want you to take your rightful place in the family business -- like , if you -- if you want that , of course . summer : no . i mean , yeah , i liked the idea of working at newman . i do n't know . i thought i 'd be good at it . luca : i know you would be . you ca n't quit because of me . i wo n't be the reason you give up on your dream . summer : there are other companies . luca : yeah , but you want to be a part of this one , and you should be . look , just think of what you 'll prove to your family by staying and rising through the ranks . summer : yeah , or plummeting to the basement . luca : no , look . with my tutelage , there 's nothing you ca n't accomplish . summer : really ? luca : when victor gets out -- and he will get out -- it 's gon na be you who 's calling the shots . noah : i know you said you wanted to be alone . um ... far be it from me to listen . is faith still here ? nick : yeah . she 's upstairs . noah : i was just with aunt vicki , and , um , you know , she 's gon na take care of everything -- the funeral and the memorial -- so you do n't even have to worry about a thing . dad , are you -- are you sure you do n't want family around ? huh ? nick : no . i just ca n't deal with the noise , you know ? i just want to be alone . noah : okay . well , why do n't you just close your eyes and lie down for a little while ? i 'll stick around in case anything comes up . nick : look , i know what you 're trying to do , and i love you for it . but i ca n't close my eyes , 'cause then i just -- i just replay the last conversation i had with sage over and over again . noah : what did you guys talk about ? nick : it was just , you know , family ... and our future . it was good . i just -- i loved her so much . [ crying ] noah : where you going , dad ? nick : just watch your sister till i get back . noah : hey . i was just about to come find you . i thought we , uh -- we could play some cards or whatever you want . faith : did daddy leave ? noah : yeah . he just went out for a walk -- get a little air . faith : do you think he 's gon na be okay ? noah : are you kidding me ?

neil : mm . she 's an excellent leader , you know . mergeron is a powerhouse in the world of technology . devon : well , yeah , and they also have a number of diverse interests , which work for what we 're doing . neil : all this seems to have happened since dina took over . devon : well , after mr. mergeron passed away . but it 's the streaming service that she developed that initially attracted me to the company because i would love to incorporate that into our music division . neil : right , right . no , i know . she 's got her faults , but she 's the real deal . she 's a savvy businesswoman . devon : what kind of faults you talking about ? neil : well , from what i know , she walked out on john and the kids when they were very young . jack and his sisters , they , you know , they never forgave her . devon : so acquiring dina 's company could be a problem for the abbotts . jack : nikki needed my help . ashley : with what ? jack : in her words , to get her mojo back . ashley : you did n't . jack : i believe i did . ashley : you 're messing with me -- do n't do it . it 's a bad day for obvious reasons . jack : okay , nikki asked for some suggestions on how to improve her life . ashley : well , did you tell her to divorce her husband ? again ? jack : yes . and then when her husband walked in on us ... ashley : no . jack : i noticed a distinct chill in the air . there is trouble in paradise . ashley : no . i do n't believe that , jackie . there 's no way . it 's victor and nikki . it 's a lovers ' quarrel . jack : no , no , no , no , no . this is different this time . this time it appears nikki has had it with his domineering ways . anyway , enough about that . let 's talk about you . you seem happy . or you certainly seemed happy when ravi got here last night . ashley : oh , you want to talk about ravi ? we could do that . but it 's not gon na stop me from talking about gloria . scott : if i can offer up some help , then it 's all yours . what do you need ? phyllis : you 're writing victor 's biography , which requires you talking with his family , right ? scott : right . phyllis : has anyone mentioned anything about nikki 's health ? scott : i 'm not sure how that relates to your love life , unless you and nick are thinking about getting back together . phyllis : no . no , no . that 's not in the cards . scott : sorry . it 's just the journalist in me . phyllis : right now , i need a friend more than a journalist . scott : of course . phyllis : nikki 's health ? scott : as a friend , as far as i can tell , nikki 's fine . phyllis : so you do n't know for sure if there 's been an incident about the m.s . flaring up . scott : i saw her the other day . did n't seem to be anything physically wrong with her . michael : hey ! either of you seen kevin ? mm , am i interrupting ? scott : not at all . i was actually about ready to head out . i got an appointment . but , uh , hey , you gon na be okay ? phyllis : absolutely . thank you . scott : yeah . michael : holding it in is n't going to help . so , um , start talking . billy : so , go ahead , cane . look deep into my soul , share these profound insights . cane : i do n't know , just at last night 's dinner , you and victoria seemed to be getting closer together . it 's just a shame that jill was n't there to see it , right ? billy : oh , you care about my relationship with vicki all of a sudden ? cane : yeah , why would n't i ? you 're my co - worker . she 's my boss . billy : well , i 'm not buying that , so why do n't you tell me what 's really going on ? cane : okay . so , tell me , is something going on between you and victoria ? billy : it 's got you spun out , huh ? cane : uh - huh . billy : so how do we really get you around the bend ? maybe i tell you that vicki and i are getting back together ... ... or maybe i tell you we 're playing nice for the sake of the kids . cane : or maybe you could go against your natural instinct to lie and tell the truth for a change , billy . maybe you could do that , do n't you think ? victor : what you call control i call love . victoria : love ? love ? buying my 16-year - old an expensive car , making abby temporary c.e.o . victor : it 's a loving gesture . victoria : investing in chelsea 's company . victor : it 's ensuring my grandson 's future . victoria : so , what are you gon na do for nick 's kids ? are you gon na buy them nobel prizes ? victor : do n't exaggerate , okay ? victoria : you 're bribing my son . victor : will you listen to me ? you 're a busy mother . you run a company . i thought you 'd be happy if reed had a car that needs to take him where he needs to go ! victoria : if i wanted to buy my son a car , i would have done it myself . so why do n't you just admit -- admit , dad , what you 're really doing . victor : i 'm a loving , generous grandfather . that 's what i 'm doing ! victoria : mm - hmm , yeah . you 're attempting to bribe every single family member that has no idea what the truth is about you . i do n't know why i bother . victor : what , you 're just gon na walk out on me , or what ? victoria : you know that forgiving you accomplishes nothing ? you turned our forgiveness into a blank check , carte blanche so you could do whatever you want ! and when adam would n't bend to your will ... victor : i was trying to help him ! victoria : after you made a pact with the woman who killed him , dad ! victor : she killed my son . that affected me greatly . do n't you understand that ? victoria : yes , i do . what if one of us cost you your son ? would you be able to forgive that ? phyllis : billy claimed that he could n't tell victoria we were back together because nikki was ill with an m.s . flare - up . michael : maybe it 's true . phyllis : according to jack and scott , nikki is looking perfectly healthy . michael : nikki knows how to power through illness . it 's what she does . but you think billy 's lying to you . phyllis : i saw him hugging victoria . michael : define hugging . phyllis : okay . it was n't a pat on the back kind of hug . it was a genuine hug- hug , michael . trust me . michael : if it was that intimate , why would they do it in front of you ? phyllis : they did n't know i was there . michael : so you were spying on them . phyllis : define spying . okay , fine . i was watching them . michael : which should n't surprise me at all because that 's what you do when you 're feeling insecure . phyllis : or when i feel like i 'm being played . michael : if you do n't trust the man , why would you even want to be with him ? phyllis : because we have a connection , all right ? a soul connection . there is a spark . it feels right when we 're together . michael : you do n't have all the facts . phyllis : i know what i saw . michael : is it possible that nikki really is ill and billy was hugging victoria because he was comforting her ? before you go crazy , maybe you ought to try talking to the guy . phyllis : oh , we are gon na talk , all right . we 're gon na talk . jack : believe it or not , i always have jabot 's best interest at heart . ashley : how can you say that to me when you 're sleeping with gloria ? jack : i 'm toeing the abbott line . what is it that dad always said ? `` never let personal life get in the way of business . `` it is n't easy . i 'm managing . ashley : no , you 're not ! you 're horrible at it . our father , he was great at it . even after dina broke his heart . jack : yeah . ashley : abandoned us without even a glance backwards . jack : somehow dad always managed to keep family and business together . ashley : i know . we were so lucky to have him as a father . i mean , he made us feel loved . jack : and cherished . ashley : daddy ... unlike dina . can you imagine ? walking out on your children like that ... i mean , i try to forget that we came from that , but we did . and i 'm sure we 're making our own mistakes where our kids are involved . jack : well , we 'd never turn our backs on them . we never would . ashley : i know , jack , but i mean , how can you be a great parent when we had such an absent role model ? jack : you just said it yourself -- because we had such an incredible father . ashley : but we have dina 's dna . jack : yeah , you got me there . you know , i only have one picture of me with mom from my childhood ? ashley : really ? i 've never seen it . jack : well , it 's in the back of a drawer . i would n't display it . ashley : why do you keep it at all ? jack : to remind me i will never let another human being do to me what our mother did to us . ashley : aww , jackie . is that why you hated divorcing all those women ? just pushed all your abandonment issues ? jack : at least i 'm not alone . you got the same issues . ashley : yep . well , i guess it 's the ultimate fear , is n't it ? jack : that the people we love will leave us . ashley : well , here 's to our mother . thanks for screwing us up , mom ! jack : [ chuckles ] ashley : cheers . [ knocks on door ] scott : victor . uh , your secretary said i should just come on in , but if it 's a bad time , i -- victor : come on in . how 's the book coming ? scott : you know , i think it 's going well . victor : i 'd like to read a few chapters . scott : and i look forward to showing them to you , but i 'm a bit confused by something that happened while you were away . victor : what 's that ? scott : nikki told me to stop working on the book . victor : why ? scott : you know , i get the sense that she was trying to protect you and the family , but when i asked her if there was something specific she was worried about , she denied it . victor : and you believed her ? scott : yeah , and no . cane : you know , i think as victoria suggested , the content for juliet 's press release should focus on how many new customers we 've acquired . billy : i think the year - to - year increase in what customers spend is a more compelling story . cane : well , it 's not your project , is it , billy ? victoria : you know , we can table this for now . cane , if you can document what we 've discussed , i have to check in with marketing before my meeting with the lawyers this afternoon . billy , can i speak with you alone for one minute , please ? billy : yeah , of course . what 's going on ? you all right ? victoria : yeah , i 'm okay . johnny 's teacher just texted me . you know that little boy howie whose family just moved here ? billy : yeah . the one who 's having a hard time finding friends , making friends ? victoria : yeah , his new classmate . well , today 's his birthday , and johnny made him a birthday card and asked him if he wanted to be friends . billy : he did ? victoria : yes . [ cell phone vibrates ] scott : nikki believes there will be this massive wave of people that you 've done wrong rallying to tell all . victor : and you doubt that ? scott : i expect it , but i do n't think that worries you . victor : do i look worried ? scott : what about your wife , your kids ? i mean , online harassment can be something . victor : well , scott , you 've got to know that my family has been in the limelight for a long time . scott : [ scoffs ] this is the limelight on steroids , amped by the news of chloe mitchell 's responsibility in adam 's death . victor : very unpleasant , indeed . but it 's over . scott : until , uh , chloe 's found and brought back here . victor : you think she may be found ? scott : there was a new development while you were gone . chloe reached out to kevin and your former son - in - law billy abbott . victor : contacted them how ? scott : she sent letters stating that either one of those men could be her child 's father . victor : and ? scott : kevin turned out to be the real dad . victor : that should make kevin happy . scott : yeah . yeah , he loves that little girl . victor : are the cops aware of it ? scott : they are all over those letters , man . they 're hoping to find any clue that can track down chloe . but being that the letters were mailed from two different places in the world , it might take some time . i 'm certain they 're gon na be able to find her eventually . victor : i 'll be very happy to know that the woman who killed my son gets what she deserves . anything else ? scott : no , i 'm just surprised . victor : by what ? scott : when nikki told me you were away , i would have laid odds that you were out searching for chloe . victor : interesting idea . scott : it 's logical . one , you 've got resources . two , you are n't saddled by rules like law enforcement . victor : and three ? scott : victor newman would never let anyone get away with murdering his son . michael : oh ! thanks . kevin : hi . thanks for squeezing me in . michael : it sounded important . kevin : it 's a dad thing . michael : mm . have a seat . kevin : thanks . i need advice on how to talk to bella about what happened to her mom . michael : what have you told her so far ? have you told her anything so far ? kevin : mostly esther and i have been playing `` distract the toddler . `` michael : kevin -- kevin : but she keeps asking questions , she 's not sleeping through the night anymore ... [ sighs ] nobody understands bella like chloe . michael : are you talking about bella , or you ? kevin : both of us , i guess . a part of me was ripped apart when chloe left . michael : kevin , she did n't just leave , she ran . kevin : the rational part of me gets that . [ sighs ] she murdered adam . that 's heinous . but the part of me that loves her understands why she did it and forgives her . i do n't know which part of me should be explaining this to my daughter . billy : you see my phone ? cane : unh - unh . billy : i got to take off for a second , all right ? [ cell phone rings ] victoria : victoria newman . yes . phyllis : two seconds . tell me why you have been lying to me . billy : what are you talking about ? phyllis : you told me that you could n't tell victoria that we were back together because nikki was sick . billy : nikki is sick . phyllis : nikki is n't sick ! i have proof . billy : okay , hold on a second . what are you talking about right now ? phyllis : is this whole m.s . flare - up just something that you concocted so you can play your two - women - against - each - other thing ? billy : i 'm telling you what victoria told me . phyllis : ohh ! okay , so she 's the one who 's lying now . billy : i do n't know who 's lying , okay ? i did n't concoct anything . i will tell victoria once i know that nikki 's health is stabilized . phyllis : stabilized from what ? a non - relapse ? i told you ! i told you i will not be the other woman . you are not gon na play me that way ! stop it ! michael : [ chuckles ] kevin : what ? what 's that look ? michael : oh , me being proud of my little baby brother . kevin : oh ! that 's what i do n't recognize it . [ sighs ] so you do n't think i 'm gon na mess things up with bella ? michael : listen to me . forgiving chloe is the very best thing you can do for that little girl . you 're allowing her to grow up knowing that she has a loving mother with a big heart . kevin : and the rest of it ? michael : well , wait till she 's older . listen , you 're good at this . kevin : thanks . i love my kid . my kid -- i ca n't believe i get to say that . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs , especially the non - tangibles . unconditional love ... michael : things we did n't get form our mother . kevin : gloria . michael : you have n't told her . kevin : well , can you blame me ? she hated chloe even before all this went down . michael : listen , bella is her granddaughter , and , you know , she has tried not -- kevin : i know , and she was amazing after the whole wedding fell apart . ugh , she 's gon na lose it when she finds out i 'm chloe 's baby daddy . michael : what 's gon na happen when the entire town knows about this and not gloria ? kevin : that would be bad . michael : no , you tell her , kevin . you tell her before she finds out from someone else . gloria : are you unhappy with my work ? jack : actually , i ca n't believe i kept you around this long . gloria : beg your pardon ? jack : what i meant to say was you 're doing great work and i 'm grateful that you 're here . gloria : just wondering . we have n't met at the athletic club lately . jack : i 've been busy . i 'm sorry if i made you feel abandoned . gloria : relax , jack . we agreed this is a relationship , friends with benefits . you do n't owe me anything . jack : but ... ? gloria : our late - night tryst made life more interesting . jack : on that , we are in full accord . gloria : [ chuckles ] mmm ! who 'd have thought we 'd ever get to this place ? jack : not me . and certainly not john abbott . neil : dina has n't been in the abbotts ' lives for years . devon : then why would jack and ashley have a problem , then , if we acquired the company ? neil : you know how it is . families are complicated . devon : yeah , but i mean , this is business . you and i are businessmen . i 'm not gon na back away from the deal just 'cause there could be a chance the abbotts have a problem or get mad . neil : you know ... you are absolutely right . this mergeron deal ? victor newman would be all over it . victor : well , as much as i 'd like to make the person who killed my son pay for what they did ... i will not go after chloe . scott : you 're that forgiving ? victor : i 'm not gon na go to prison again . scott : can i quote you for the book ? victor : unless i fire you before . scott : in that case , i 'll make sure to e - mail you those brilliant chapters right away . thank you , victor . victor : welcome . and scott ? scott : hmm ? victor : just remember one thing . i call the shots . no one else . scott : you got it . cane : hey . victoria : hey . cane : hey , uh , you should get going if you want to make the meeting with the lawyers , okay ? victoria : oh , no , i -- i still have time , actually . cane : no , i just checked the traffic , and there 's a big accident across town , so you 're gon na have to take an alternate route . victoria : oh , my goodness . thank you for the heads up . i should leave now , then . cane : what 's wrong ? victoria : the damn elevator does n't seem to be working . the call button wo n't light up . cane : all right , uh , i 'll call maintenance for you , okay ? victoria : okay . thanks . phyllis : every time that i get angry , you try to stop me by kissing me , and i 'm not gon na let you do that anymore . i want the truth . billy : okay , you want the truth ? phyllis : yes ! billy : this is the truth . i will tell victoria because i ca n't stand the fact that we have to lie about wanting to be together . i ca n't stop thinking about you . when you turn to me in the middle of the night ... ... the taste of your perfume when i kiss your neck ... ... your voice when you whisper and even when you yell at me like that , i pull you towards me and i never want to let go . neil : you 're right , son . mergeron would be an excellent acquisition for our company . but let 's not forget , there 's gon na be a lot of larger companies with established reputations that are gon na be bidding on it , as well . devon : well , that 's why we 're gon na be first in line . is your passport up to date ? neil : yeah . why ? devon : 'cause we 're flying to paris to meet dina mergeron . you in ? neil : damn right , i 'm in . devon : let 's do it , man . neil : yeah . ashley : hey , you ! ravi : hey ! ravi : thanks so much for dropping by and bringing me that rose . it was very sweet . no pun intended . ravi : now , a month ago , i would never have had the nerve to just drop by , certainly not with a rose or , you know , any other flower . ashley : [ laughs ] well , i 'm glad you did . ravi : sometimes it 's good to take a risk . ashley : yeah , i 've been taking some of those lately myself . ravi : yeah , i 've noticed . ashley : right ? i was talking to jack , and i kind of realized that maybe i 've lived my life in a certain way out of fear . ravi : what frightens you ? ashley : honestly , possibly ending up like my mother , maybe . ravi : huh . you 've just never mentioned her before . ashley : i know , and you were always too polite to ask . ravi : well , if you want to talk about her now , you can . ashley , why have you never mentioned her before ? ashley : because i hate her . jack : no , i have n't checked the news . yeah , ashley knocked it out of the park with that conference . we 're still getting all kinds of press for our products . yeah , i 'm pulling it up right now . all right . perfect . i 'll talk to you soon , then . gloria : so , what 's so important we have to talk now ? i have a job , you know . kevin : i know , mom . gloria : was chloe found ? kevin : no . have a seat . gloria : [ sighs ] kevin : this is about bella . gloria : oh , yeah ? she all right ? she 's not sick , is she ? well , whatever it is , just keep the child away from me because i do n't need to catch it . kevin : she 's fine , mom , except for missing her mother . gloria : of course she does . say what you will about chloe . for all appearances , she was a loving mother . i 'll give her that . and it is awful that that little girl 's going to grow up without either of her parents . kevin : actually , she wo n't . well , it turns out that i 'm bella 's biological father . gloria : hmm . victor : no more interruptions today , okay ? chloe : how did you find me ? you said you never wanted to see me again . victor : did n't i tell you that if i ever crossed your path again , you would lose everything ? chloe : victor ... victor : did you think you could hide from me ? chloe : you wanted me gone to protect yourself . victor : i wanted away from your insanity . chloe : i 'm better . victor : if that were the case , the institution that housed you would have released you on their own . without my involvement . admit it . chloe : i 'm not crazy . victor : ohh . well , if you 're not crazy , then you killed my son while you were sane . so what do you think the next thing is going to be ? chloe : you 're gon na kill me ? ashley : i just want to make sure that i get everything that jack needs . ravi : ashley ... hate is a strong , especially when applied to one 's mother . ashley : yes , it is a strong word , but she deserted jack , traci , and me when we were very , very young children . ravi : oh , i 'm sorry . ashley : she just walked out and she never looked back . ravi : you never kept in contact ? ashley : well , we were children , and she never acknowledged our birthdays or graduations or anything . ravi : i 'm so sorry to hear that . sounds like you had a mother who was thoughtless and unkind . ashley : and what does that say about me ? ravi : hey . it says that despite all that , you are brilliant , you are considerate , you are loving ... you know what else ? you 're nothing like your mother . nothing at all . gloria : [ chuckles ] so you and billy had dna tests , and you 're the daddy . that 's it ? kevin : [ exhales sharply ] you 're freaking me out right now , mom . you have n't said a word about how this permanently connects me to chloe . gloria : are you happy about this , kevin ? kevin : what do you think ? gloria : then i am happy for you . kevin : you are gon na be a terrific -- well , interesting grandmother to your first granddaughter . do you know how much fun you and bella could have together ? gloria : i will do my best . really . kevin : i know . i appreciate it . gloria : in fact , we are going to give that little girl the best family we can . kevin : i just wish i could talk to chloe one more time , tell her that bella is mine , and let her know how happy i am about it . victor : tell me . chloe : he never suffered , okay ? i promise you . adam never suffered . victor : you 've lied to me before . chloe : i swear on my daughter 's life . your son never suffered . victor : unlike you , i 'm not a murderer . you take this and disappear . that 's enough money in there for you . chloe : but i ca n't -- victor : i will drag you back to genoa city . chloe : yeah , but you ca n't because when they find out that you used me for framing adam , you 'll be arrested . victor : i 've survived prison . i seriously doubt you will survive maximum security . chloe : okay . okay , i 'll leave . [ sighs ] you have to do me one thing . my daughter . i do n't want bella growing up an orphan . there are two men that might be her father . i just -- i want to tell them , let them know , and then they can find out the truth , and then she can be raised by her biological father . victor : let me tell you something . do n't ever play games with me . i will do this for your daughter 's sake . you write a letter to both of these guys , and i 'll see to it that they get it . chloe : why should i trust you ? victor : what choice do you have ? victoria : [ sighs ] this is weird . i 'm just gon na take the stairs . cane : hang on , i 'm on the phone with maintenance . they said someone locked out the elevator . victoria : who would do that in the middle of a work day ? cane : they do n't know , but they said it was n't them , and they 're gon na override the lock right now . victoria : thank you . oh , my god . [ next_on ] jack : you 're not even a little curious as to why our mother has her company up for sale ? neil : let 's not get ahead of ourselves . there is no guarantee that we 're gon na make this deal close . victor : we have n't made a big acquisition for a while . maybe this might be a good time . | neil and devon meet at the athletic club to discuss their upcoming business venture . at home , ashley and jack discuss nikki asking him for help in getting her spunk back . jack still insists that something is going on between nikki and victor that they are trying to hide from the public . ashley also asks jack about gloria . phyllis and scott meet at the coffeehouse for small talk and what is going on in their lives . billy , cane , and victoria have a short strategy meeting in her office . cane mentions to billy that he and victoria are getting closer . in his office at newman , victoria and victor discuss the gift that he bought for reed without first asking her and also the fact that he made abby ceo of newman . michael interrupts scott and phyllis to find out where kevin is . michael and phyllis discuss that she saw billy give victoria a hug . phyllis is steaming with jealousy . michael tries to calm her down advising her to talk to billy about the matter . jack assures ashley that he will always have jabot 's best interest at heart . scott visits victor to discuss the book 's progress . scott tells him that nikki asked him to stop writing the book . when victoria and billy leave the room to discuss johnny 's birthday party , cane reads a text from phyllis to billy to meet in the elevator . |

[ sighs ] am i overreacting here ? could he just be losing her hearing ? could it be as simple as that ? more likely , this is an indication the disease is progressing . there will be more of these episodes . jack , i know you prefer to keep her home ... jack : but you still think a facility would be appropriate . [ sighs ] something to consider . jack : thank you for coming out -- again . oh ! lauren : oh ! [ chuckles ] hi . jack : uh , come in . come in , come in . lauren : okay . hi . jack : thank you , doctor . you did not need to come all the way out here . lauren : but i wanted to . i figured you 'd be too distracted to think about food . jack : and you were n't wrong there . lauren : now , i can hand this to you and be on my way . or , if you could use a friend ... jack : you know , right now , i think i could use a friend . lola : and once my sous - chef is up to speed -- and i 'm not saying that it will be soon -- kyle : mm . vacation . lola : right . kyle : absolutely . lola : and it would count as work if we go to enough restaurants in exotic locations . kyle : well , until then , we can do local trips when you have a day off . lola : and i want to see where you lived in new york city . kyle : seriously ? lola : yes , of course . kyle : then it 's only fair we go to miami , too . lola : oh , my god . the places i could show you . and the food that we would eat . oh ! and the beach . kyle : mm - hmm ? lola : it 's almost as great as this beautiful paradise that you created . kyle : ah . but no rush . we have all the time in the world . lola : we do ? kyle : we do . and we should stick close to home while society is getting so much buzz . lola : it 's crazy . i mean , from my food truck to all of this . and , i mean , my life was great . but small . kyle : mine , too . more than i realized . lola : and now that we are us ... kyle : mm . lola : ... does n't it feel like we have so many possibilities ? kyle : mm - hmm . i mean ... i look at jabot , and i see something new happening , and i know it 's not because of me . and it 's not because i finally have you in my life for good . but it all somehow seems connected . lola : like everything is coming together . kyle : the way it should be . nick : tonight 's gon na be about no decisions . not about where you 're gon na live , where you 're gon na work . summer : no , actually , that one , i already know . i 'm planning on staying at jabot . nick : really ? are you sure you 're ready to make a call like that ? summer : yeah . i mean , it 's a good job that i can make great , and it suits me . i do n't know . tough luck if it makes kyle uncomfortable . nick : all right . cool . summer : you think it 's a mistake , do n't you ? nick : i 'm gon na stick to my `` no decisions `` vote . especially if i can keep you away from seeing that jerk every single day . but ultimately , this is your call . summer : [ sighs ] i do n't know . do n't you think that i deserve one tiny thing after kyle got to win everything ? i mean , he got my liver to save his girlfriend , and he got to humiliate me by having everyone else know that his heart belonged to someone else . nick : no . no , sweetheart . there 's no humiliation here . kyle screwed up . this is not a reflection on you at all . summer : okay , but i 'm the idiot that decided to marry him , and then have him run after lola all over again . the girl that broke up with him over a purse , when i accepted him for exactly who he is . nick : good . then let her have him . summer : no . she 's always gon na find some reason to reject him and make him crawl . that is not -- that is not deep , earth - shattering love . and one morning he 's gon na wake up and realize that he lost something great because he picked her instead of me . nick : so what does that mean ? like , you 're holding out hope ? summer : i do n't know . and take him back ? i do n't know . i mean , yeah , it would be really nice to have him come running and beg and ... i do n't know . i mean , it would n't hurt to see him cry . but i 'm never gon na tell him that . nick : [ sighs ] if he does ? crawl back to you ? summer : [ sighs ] god , dad , i don't ... okay , how many years has it been between kyle and me ? okay ? i ca n't just erase him from my brain . i -- i hate him , but ... i also really love him . you have to know what that 's like , right ? nick : yeah . i do . and i mean that . i really hope you listen to what i have to say . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . paul : and you know nothing else about this psychiatrist ? nikki : he wo n't return my calls . paul : okay . i - i still do n't see how this ties into the poker games . nikki : oh . um ... this is ... an article i found on victor 's computer . paul : well ... `` the queen of las vegas ' underground poker scene `` ? has he ever mentioned her to you ? nikki : no . never . whatever this is , it 's -- it 's big . it 's insidious . i - i can just feel it . i mean , for -- for victor to keep this a secret for so long ... paul : yeah . and he 's resistant to any questions , huh ? nikki : oh , he shuts me down immediately . paul : okay . here 's the thing . most women would be upset and angry , and you are just tying yourself in knots worrying about victor . nikki : at this point in our life , victor knows that there 's nothing he ca n't tell me . paul : [ sighs ] then why has n't he ? nikki : he 's protecting me . and that means he 's at risk . paul : and you need more than just reassuring words from a friend . nikki : well , if i can get more , yeah . paul : i 'll see what i can do . nikki : [ sighs ] thank you . paul : within the parameters of my job . nikki : of course . paul : we 'll see what we can find out . nikki : thank you so much . i know i can always count on you . it 's one of the greatest gifts of my life . paul : [ chuckles ] jack : this whole process with my mother always catches me off guard . lauren : the bad moments ? jack : even the good parts . i 'm always off - kilter . the funny thing is , it 's like when i was a kid . lauren : was that before your mother left ? jack : she was always restless , always unpredictable . i 'd come to the door wondering what would be on the other side . would it be mom , who wanted to know about my day , or dina , who could n't wait to get out of this house ? lauren : mmph . present or absent . it 's kind of the way she is today , except she 's physically here . to have your mother leave you when you 're so young ... jack : yeah , that 's right . you know something about that . lauren : i do . and it changes a child . jack : i try to stay in the present , particularly knowing that [ sighs ] her moments of clarity are fewer and farther between . but when she 's here , when she 's really here , when she knows it 's me , she recognizes me ... lauren : it must be a joy . and a relief . jack : i have this unrealistic thought that the worst is over and she 's gon na recover . and then days like today happen , and i realize i 've got to brace myself for the reality that i 'm never gon na have another real moment with my mother . she 's here . i can see her . i -- i can hold her hand if she 'll let me . i do n't want to be one of those people that 's just fixated on his own issues , especially when she 's the one that 's suffering from this disease , but ... yeah , there 's a part of me that wants to make things right . or have her make them right . i knew she was gon na slip away . lauren : that does n't make it any easier , though , does it ? lauren : jack . you feel the way you feel . and it 's okay . please do n't forget that . nick : kyle does not deserve you . summer : yeah , obviously not at the moment . nick : no , not under any circumstances . not ever . not even if he begs . summer : i do n't know . i think that might be pretty funny to watch . nick : look , you are so incredibly special . you have everything you need on the inside to be happy , and kyle does n't ever get to be a part of that . summer : dad , kyle is not some villain , and i am not some saint . nick : you got to stop defending him . summer : it 's just facts . nick : the whole world is gon na open up for you , summer . look , i know you 've been through a lot , but it 's almost like you 're just getting started . you 're gon na figure out who you are and what you need . and when that happens , i promise you , you 're gon na be unstoppable . nick : i love you . nick : but ? summer : but i am so ready for this day to be over . and maybe , just for a few hours , not cry . ugh ! i am ready to wallow . and like you said , i will not make any decisions right now . nick : i mean , you should have led with that , because now i know exactly what you need .

i mean , he 's in no condition to run newman right now . he 's just suffered a tremendous loss . victor : well , so have you . adam : you know , you should really save your sympathy for nick . i lost a friend . he lost a child and now his wife . victor : oh . these are terrible tragedies . but you and i both know that it was n't nick who lost a child . adam : oh , now , listen to me . nick believed that christian was his son . that 's the only thing that matters here . victor : you allowed him to believe that to save your marriage and his . adam : mostly to save my ass , though . let 's be honest . victor : you did it to save your marriage , meaning you thought about family . and i understand that sentiment . adam : oh , great . let me ask you a question . is that what you were doing when you told sage that i was the father of her child and not nick ? you were looking out for family , putting family first ? victor : what are you talking about ? i did no such thing . adam : what am i talking about ? you know , she called me . she called me right before the -- the car crash . she was n't able to get ahold of me , but she left a message . she sounded ... very distraught , distracted , said it was about christian . she was so distracted that she ran the car off the road , dad . victor : wait a minute . what are you suggesting ? i never talked to sage about the child not being nick 's . adam : well ... victor : never said a word about that . adam : only thing that makes sense to me is that she found out that i switched the dna results . and the only person who could have told her that is you , because the only person on this entire planet that knows that besides me and my wife , dad , is you . phyllis : i want you . i love you . i spun out of control , and i hurt so many people , especially you . but that 's over now , jack . i want things to be the way they were . jack : i do n't even know what that is anymore . phyllis : that 's because you 're letting victor get to you . do n't let him . while he is in prison for 10 years , we will prove him wrong . jack : you saw what he did with victoria . he can still spread his poison from behind bars . phyllis : well , let him . we have the remedy . jack : do we ? phyllis : yeah . us . our love . jack : in this very room , you defended billy buying brash & sassy ! i was the monster , remember ? i was the bad guy , the guy who fired him , the guy who left him with nothing , the guy who he should have gotten revenge on . phyllis : my mouth runs ahead of me . you know that . and i am sorry for every word of that . i know that we can fix our marriage . we can be stronger than ever before . jack : victor looked me in the eye and read my perfectly . i do have this feeling of dread , this sense that sage 's death portends even re pain . phyllis : okay . do n't listen to him . he 's not clairvoyant . you look into my eyes . he may proclaim the end of the world , but it could be a mark of a new ginning for us . if sage 's death can bring billy and victoria to their senses , anything is possible . anything . billy : i just wanted to come by and say that i 'm sorry to you and to victoria . but i 'll leave you in peace . nick : when you said , uh ... you were standing on the side of the road and were helpless ... we never really t over it , do we ? billy : no . nick : all sage did was love me . billy : nick , this was n't your fault . nick : she loved a newman . it 's our curse . sins of your father , right ? and when your father 's victor , you have a hell of a lot to pay for , because everyone we love suffers . victoria : what are you doing here ? oh , my god . what happened to you ? nick : i went to the crash site , took it out on the car . victoria : oh . let me take you to the hospital . nick : i 'll be fine . victoria : you 're not fine . if you 're here to do another victory lap , you can just go . nick : you know the curse applies to you and victoria , too , right ? victoria : l me take you home . nick : you two have this crazy , big love between you . you have kids . you have every reason in the world to be together , but you 're not . there 's something keeping you apart . victoria : [ scoffs ] do n't be ridiculous . nick : you know i 'm right . so do something about it billy : i just wanted to come and say that i 'm sorry . if there 's anything that i can do -- victoria : there 's nothing that you can do to help . in fact , you being here is making it harder . billy : well , that 's the last thing that i want . take care of yourself . victoria : [ sighs ] well , if you wo n't let me take you to the hospital , than at least let me look at your hand . nick : you know , i was wrong . there 's no curse keeping you two apart . you two are doing that yourselves . dylan : hey . how 's sully ? sharon : sleeping like an angel . and fortunately , he missed out on your father giving his mommy the third degree . dylan : i do n't blame you for being upset , but try to see it from paul 's point of view . he 's just trying to get some closure for nick . sharon : how does anyone get closure after something like this ? i really wish i could have been more help . dylan : you were a huge help to sage . you and sully . do n't forget that , okay ? [ knock at door ] sharon : oh . i hope that 's not paul again . chelsea . chelsea : hi . i just wanted to check on you , see how you were holding up . sharon : i just ca n't believe she 's gone . chelsea : i know how surreal it is to hear that knock at the door and be told that someone you love is dead . i remember . dylan : yeah . there 's just one huge difference . adam is n't dead . he just pretended to be . sharon : sage helped him do that . sage and adam were close , were n't they ? victor : i had nothing to do with sage 's accident . what are you suggesting ? adam : i mean , it would n't be the first time you used this secret as a weapon , would it ? victor : what good would it do for me to tell sage that christian was your son and not nick 's ? adam : yeah , i do n't -- i do n't know . you know , maybe you 're in here ... just wanting to prove that you can bring us all to our knees , blow up our lives . which , by the way , is exactly what 's gon na happen to nick if he finds this information out . you know that ? victor : look , i have said that nick will be my successor . he will take over the business . what use would it be for me to break his heart , break everyone 's heart by telling them that you are christian 's father ? it does n't make any sense . adam : if you did n't tell her , who did ? victor : and what difference does that make now ? sage is gone . bless her soul , may she rest in peace . but the secret went to the grave with her . nick : billy almost died not too long ago . you can make things right . victoria : he lied to me , nick . repeatedly . nick : he still loves you , vick . you two can barely stand to be in the same room together , but it 's obvious how much you care about each other . you got a shot here at happiness . i 'd give almost anything for that , and you 're just throwing it away . victoria : it 's not that simple . nick : it is that simple . you know what your problem is ? you 've been staring at this damn picture for too long . just get rid of it . burn it . do whatever . but stop living his life and live yours . victoria : sit down . let me bandage your hand . nick : the way this family 's going ... what is it with the newman -- victoria : do n't say curse . nick : it 's in the -- the dna . it 's power , ambition , the winning . it 's amazing love survives at all . victoria : what are you talking about ? what you and sage have -- had -- it was amazing ... even with the crummy newman dna . nick : i should have been there for her . victoria : hey . listen to me . no regrets . you loved her . she knew that . nick : i came back to newman and i threw myself into the work . i spent more time here than at home . why ? 'cause i 'm the loyal newman soldier . now she 's gone . victoria : nick , it 's because she took her eyes off the road . that 's what it was . it was an accident , not a curse . nick : do n't make the same mistake i did . do n't take for granted what you have with billy or what you could have . not even for a second . phyllis : i thought maybe you wanted to celebrate or ... whatever . billy : let 's go with `` whatever . `` phyllis : so , things with victoria ? billy : veni , vidi , vici . i came , i saw , she conquered . phyllis : well , she 's just -- she needs more time , you know ? she 's in shock . she 'll -- she 'll -- billy : she 'll what ? she 'll come around ? profess her undying love for me ? it 's got nothing to do with time , phyllis . it does n't matter if it 's today , tomorrow , next week , next month . it 's not gon na change . what victoria and i had is in a zillion pieces , and you got to stop trying to put it back together , okay ? 'cause it 's not gon na happen -- not now , not ever . chelsea : it 's no secret . adam and sage were friends . sharon : but they were more than friends . she saved his life . she kept his secret when he was walking around as gabriel bingham . that sounds like a pretty close bond . she moved in next door to you . chelsea : right . is there a question in here sharon , or ... ? dylan : uh , sharon knows about the voicemail that sage left right before the accident . chelsea : right . which , as we told dylan , was actually sage trying to reach me about business . sharon : you heard the message ? what did she say ? how did she sound ? chelsea : uh , well , no . adam deleted it before i could listen to it . i just keep thinking , you know , if i had n't turned my off , if sage could have reached me , maybe none of this would have happened . dylan : it 's -- it 's nobody 's fault . you know , hopefully , someday , nick will find comfort knowing that sage is at peace with their son . victor : `` no man is an island entire of itself ... every man is a piece of the continent , a part of the main . any man 's death diminishes me , because i am involved in mankind ... and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls ; it tolls for thee . `` phyllis : you ca n't give up hope . ever . you and victoria have children . you have too much that binds you together , too much love between the two of you to let anything drive you apart . billy : yes ! okay , phyllis . i have a golden collection of -- of good times and beautiful memories . and i 'm sure victoria does , too , but i 'm not gon na do it , okay ? i 'm not gon na live in the past . if sage 's death taught me anything , it 's about right here , right now ... what 's right in front of me , what i can see , what i can -- what i can touch , what i can feel . [ next_on ] victoria : you pretend like you do n't know what 's going on , but you know what 's going on ! why did you give up that vote ? lily : max is a kid . what you 're accusing him of -- that 's the kind of thing that can wreck a marriage . are you willing to risk that ? | after leaving the crash site , nick goes to newman enterprises and yells at victor 's portrait . he thinks the newmans are cursed . victoria hangs out at the bar where she met travis , the bartender . they get to know each other better but victoria keeps her real identity a secret . phyllis convinces billy to pursue victoria again . he looks for victoria at newman enterprises but finds nick . victoria arrives and tells billy to leave , he 's just making things worse . nick advises victoria to patch things up with billy and not take what they have for granted . billy goes home and finds phyllis there . he tells her that he is n't going to live in the past . he kisses her . she pulls away and rushes out the door . jack visits victor in prison in attempts to make peace but victor does n't want anything to do with it . he warns jack that betrayal will come not from him but some place closer to home . jack finds phyllis at gcac . she tells him she believes they can still fix their marriage . paul presses sharon for answers about sage 's frame of mind when she had the accident . sharon plays dumb when paul mentions that sage left a voicemail for adam just before the accident . chelsea and adam wonder why sage wanted to talk to adam about christian . they assume she figured out that adam was really christian 's father . adam visits victor in prison and accuses him of telling sage the truth about christian 's paternity . victor points out that it would do no one any good to bring that truth to light and that the secret died with sage . |
victoria : you 're together ? billy : look , it was n't -- this is not how i wanted this to happen , victoria . phyllis : i 'm sorry you had to find out this way . victoria : yeah , so am i . lily : hey . cane : hey . lily : is this where the elevator got stuck ? i had to take the stairs . everyone 's okay , right ? no one got stranded in there ? cane : sweetheart , you should come with me . victoria : this could n't get more humiliating . not that you care at all . billy : of course i care . i never wanted to hurt you . victoria : you have said that to me so many times , but you keep doing it . phyllis : how many times have you hurt billy ? why is it so hard for you to understand that he wants a woman who treats him with respect , who does n't toy with him , who does n't building up his hopes to just , like , toss him aside , like he 's nothing ? i have always cared about billy , and i think he deserves a lot more than you 're capable of giving , victoria . abby : hi , dad . victor : abby ! sweetheart ! come in . abby : hi ! mwah ! i 'm glad you 're back ! victor : well , i 'm glad to be back . abby : so , how was your trip ? where 'd you go ? what 'd you do ? victor : oh , just a few things to take care of . now , i 've been looking over your work while i was gone ... abby : and what do you think ? victor : i 'm very impressed . damn good job . anything i should know about ? abby : steady as she goes . nothing to report . victor : well , i like to hear that . abby : so , now that you 're back in the big chair , is there anything you 'd like me to focus on ? victor : well , there 's something i think you should know about . you know , your grandmother 's in the news . abby : my grandmother ? victor : yeah . dina mergeron . she 's putting up her company for sale . abby : she is ? victor : yeah . abby : hmm . victor : did n't your mother tell you about that ? abby : no . victor : how about your uncle jack ? abby : not a word , but they must know if it 's gone public . victor : sure . it made quite a stir in the business world . abby : are you thinking of making a bid ? victor : we have n't made a big acquisition for a while . maybe this might be a good time . devon : we are almost to paris . neil : yes , we are . let 's finish working up a game plan on how to approach dina mergeron , shall we ? devon : actually , you know what , i 've been thinking , man . making this acquisition will say to the business world we 're not playing around . we have the funds and we 're motivated , do n't you think ? neil : agreed . but we 're not just talking about who 's gon na place the highest bid here , okay ? we got to convince dina that we 're the right stewards to carry on her business . pitching to acquire a corporation , it 's nothing like buying a building or a television show . devon : for sure , and i know that you have all the expertise in that area , so i 'm leaving the pitching to you . neil : [ chuckles ] i appreciate the vote of confidence , i do , but let 's not get ahead of ourselves . there is no guarantee that we 're gon na make this deal close . as a matter fact , real talk , do n't get your hopes up too high . ashley : hi . i got some additional numbers from the trade show . even more productive that we originally thought . what 's so fascinating ? so what ? jack : that 's all you have to say ? ashley : what would you like me to say ? jack : you 're not even a little curious as to why our mother has her company up for sale ? ashley : as long as that woman stays far , far away from me , i do n't give a damn what happens to her or her company . devon : well , sure , there 's gon na be other competition to acquire mergeron , but our money should be as good as anybody else 's , if not better , i 'd imagine , since there 's so much that we have that 's liquid . i 've barely even touched the bulk of what katherine left me . neil : it 's not just about a bank account , you know ? when a private company like this is privately owned , it 's personal . look at it this way . you got victor with newman enterprises , jack with jabot , your grandmother katherine , chancellor industries . same thing for dina . it 's been her company for decades . she 's tough about this , man . it 's her blood , sweat , and tears . devon : i just think she 's gon na want to make sure that her hard work is respected and that her legacy continues , right ? neil : the problem is , we do n't know exactly what she wants from a buyer or how she expects mergeron to evolve . i mean , no matter how strong our offer is , there is no surefire way of getting a yes out of dina mergeron . victor : i have not made any real decision about acquiring mergeron . since you 're part of the family , what 's your perspective ? abby : well , i -- i 've never met her . i mean , no one ever talks about her . honestly , i forget i have a grandmother most of the time . victor : but you 've heard stories . abby : yeah , i know that she abandoned her family when my mom was very young , but my mom never mentions her . it 's like she does n't exist . victor : sort of like me . i was left at an orphanage by my mother . i resented her for years . we made up when she was on her deathbed . abby : yes , but dad , your mother left you so you could have a place to live , food to eat . from everything i 've heard about dina , she left for purely selfish reasons , never giving a second thought about the family she left behind . victor : complicated woman . abby : you knew her ? victor : yeah . abby : what was she like ? victor : tough , always wanted to be the center of attention , and always had a good - looking guy on her arm . abby : so she left my grandpa for another man , a new life . i mean , what -- what kind of person does that , let alone a wife and a mother ? victor : yeah , john abbott deserved better . so did their children . i bet you her name coming up in the business news will remind them of some unpleasant times , you know ? abby : times i know nothing about . victor : perhaps it 's better that way . billy : i spent months trying to be the man that i thought you wanted , trying to be a good father to the kids , trying to support you with reed . trying to give you everything that i thought you needed , but it was just never enough for you . i 'd give you everything , and you would give nothing back to me . victoria : i told you , i needed more time . billy : it was impossible to know what you ever wanted , vick . victoria : i told you i wanted more ! billy : come on ! that was yesterday ! what about days ago when you said i need to get it through my thick skull that you do n't want anything to do with me ever again romantically ? what am i supposed to do with that ? you want me to shut my feelings off and turn them back on whenever you see fit , but i 'm sorry , it just does n't work that way . victoria : how does it work , then , huh ? you reach out to me , i do n't respond fast enough , so then you default back to phyllis ? is that how it works , billy ? phyllis : you know what , if we 're gon na talk about me , then you better get it right . i have always cared about billy , and that has never changed . and what happened just now in the elevator , i am not thrilled that i had an audience , but i 'm also not ashamed of what we have . it is not sleazy , it is not cheap , and it is not about you . i want billy as much as he wants me . victoria : is that true ? billy : vick ... victoria : do you want to be with phyllis ? is she the woman you want ? phyllis : you two need to talk . i will be at jabot when you 're done . gloria : got a minute ? jack : yeah . what 's up ? gloria : congratulate me . i 'm a grandmother again . jack : i 'm confused . gloria : it turns out that kevin is bella 's father after all . jack : wow . i guess congratulations are in order . how did you find out about this ? gloria : chloe . she sent letters to kevin and billy and told them both that they might be bella 's father . tests were done . kevin won . or lost , depending on your point of view . jack : i bet billy was relieved at the news . gloria : yeah ! yeah , i bet he was , but right now , i 'm a little more concerned about kevin . [ sighs ] my son , officially a single dad . jack : how 's he handling that ? gloria : he 's overwhelmed , jack , but , you know , he 's -- he 's happy . jack : wait , happy ? gloria : yeah . he was planning to adopt bella after the wedding . he really loves that little girl . jack : and how are you holding up , knowing that your son is now inextricably tied to a woman you despise ? is this the calm before the storm ? gloria : no . no , i have got to stay calm , for kevin 's sake . he 's had his world turned upside - down twice in as many weeks . oh , there will be plenty of time for me to rail on chloe for what she 's done later . right now , i need to figure out how to give kevin all the support i can . i mean , he 's got this little tiny life in the palm of his hands . i mean , bella does n't understand why her mommy went away ! what happens when she finds out and realizes that her mother betrayed her , abandoned her ? i mean , what happens if she grows up thinking that she was n't good enough to stand between her mommy and murder ? what does that do to a child ? what does that inevitable pain do to my son ? no , i need kevin to , uh ... be brave and strong for that little girl . all the qualities that i lacked . because i could n't protect my children when they needed me . jack : and you 're worried this is gon na bring up old emotions in your son . gloria : of course , it will ! you ca n't escape the past . it has this nasty little habit of becoming the present . phyllis : lauren . lauren : hi ! phyllis : what are you doing here ? lauren : oh , i 'm just checking in with ravi . nothing urgent . you know , i have n't been chained to my desk lately . [ laughing ] a lot going on at home . phyllis : that 's right . your new addition . bella . lauren : you heard . phyllis : how 's it going ? lauren : it was a shock . not unwelcome but , you know , still ... phyllis : it 's good that kevin has you and michael to support him and that child . lauren : are you okay , honey ? phyllis : fine . i 'm fine . i 'm good . i just got a lot going on in the head , that 's all . lauren : michael told me that you and billy had rekindled your romance . ca n't believe i had to hear it from him ... but you look like it 's not going the way you hoped . phyllis : i just got what i wanted . in the worst possible way . billy : stop . vick , stop . would you stop moving for 2 minutes ? please . victoria : how long were you and phyllis sneaking around ? how long were you planning on hiding it from me ? or maybe that was part of the fun -- reliving the thrill of lying to me and your own brother ? billy : it has n't been long , okay , and i wanted to tell you . victoria : why did n't you tell me , then ? billy : i tried ! but , of course , you shut me out , and then you tell me about nikki 's m.s . what do you want me to do with that , lay that on top of you with everything else that you got going on ? victoria : so you were protecting me from the truth ? how noble . billy : yes , vick , i was worried about you . victoria : you were worried about me because you were worried about how i was gon na react . billy : both ! not for my sake , but for your sake ! with everything else you got going on in your life , you think i want to be the one add more drama to it ? victoria : you told me to leave things alone . that 's what you told me . but i did n't listen . i had to push it . [ sighs ] god , i 'm so stupid . billy : please do n't say that . look , we have not been a couple for a long time . and what you said to me the other day , what do you want me to do with that ? you want me to wait around until you hopefully change your mind ? victoria : okay , look , i said some things that i did n't mean . i regretted them and i tried to apologize to you . i apologized to you as soon as i could , but obviously it was n't soon enough , or you just did n't care because you were already back in phyllis ' bed . i do n't know , billy . i do n't know which one of us that makes more pathetic . billy : [ sighs ] lily : i came here to tell everyone how my shoot with jordan went this morning , but now , i do n't think it 's a priority . cane : yeah , i think it 's gon na be a rough time around here 'cause she normally puts up with his garbage , but this time ... lily : i guess there 's no more staff dinners ever again . cane : eh , well , suppose that means that billy ca n't throw his weight around anymore . lily : do n't tell me that you 're thinking this is good for you . cane : well , it means i do n't have to jockey for position anymore 'cause she knows i can deliver . lily : yeah , but you also are not upset that billy 's in a bad place . cane : what can i say ? he 's a chronic screw - up , and the truth finally came out . lily : yeah , and victoria suffers because of it . cane : i do n't know about that . maybe she 's better off 'cause she finally realizes that she does n't need him , either personally or professionally . billy : i wanted to be with you , vick , and i 'm not blaming you . maybe it 's timing , maybe it 's baggage , maybe it 's just who we are . victoria : we were getting to such a good place . billy : with me at arm 's length . victoria : come on . i was just trying to be cautious . i mean , can you blame me after everything we 've been through ? [ sighs ] look ... i -- i wanted things to work again , and i know that -- i know i slowed everything down . billy : slowed down ? you slammed the brakes . victoria : come on . billy , billy , what happened to you not blaming me ? billy : i 'm not blaming you . i 'm just explaining . i did n't think you wanted me . victoria : i did . billy : then why did you say the opposite ? not once , but twice . i mean , how am i supposed to know that you just needed more time to be sure ? you do n't explain yourself that way . you do the opposite . you push me away and you tell me you do n't want me . i understand if you 're worried that you 're gon na get hurt again . i get that . maybe you just do n't want me that much . i could n't just keep doing what we were doing . lauren : how awful for you and billy , and terrible for victoria . phyllis : certainly not the way we wanted her to find out . i was adamant with billy that i was not gon na be the other woman . and , you know , we wanted to do this right . he was gon na speak to victoria privately , but ... you know , i think victoria deserves to know where we stand , but , you know , unfortunately , billy was not able to follow through , and so now i am the bitch who was making out with someone else 's man in the elevator . lauren : uh , okay . a , not a bitch . and , b , billy does n't belong to victoria . phyllis : [ scoffs ] well , it is out in the open now . and it just is not good . [ stammering ] i mean , i think -- i ca n't even imagine how victoria is reacting right now . lauren : it was going to be tough no matter how she found out . i assume that jack does n't know . phyllis : no . but he will soon . lauren : wow . he finds out you 're back with his brother ... [ chuckles ] phyllis : you know , jack and i are in a very different place , you know ? we 're civil . friendly , even , you know ? sometimes . lauren : so you think he 's over your breakup ? phyllis : i -- i think he 's gotten past the anger . i think he 's gotten past the resentment and the betrayal , and i -- yeah , i think he 's good . lauren : is that what you believe , or is that just wishful thinking ? gloria : oh , jack . i 'm sorry . i did n't meant to come in here and cry on your shoulder . jack : no , no , no , no , no , no . you needed to talk . gloria : [ laughs ] yeah , but conversation is n't usually one of our benefits . who knew that you could be such a good listener ? jack : yeah , i 'm full of surprises . you know what ? kevin is not the same man who came to town all those years ago . he 's smarter , he 's stronger , he 's willing to put himself out there . he 's made peace with you . look , you may feel guilty about the past . i do n't think kevin blames you . gloria : well , if he does , he does n't say it . jack : you made your family whole again . bella will grow up surrounded by love and support . gloria : just no mommy . jack : when a family comes together , they can overcome a hell of a lot , and that includes the absence of a mother who abandoned them all . dina : i never , ever wanted it revealed . i would have given my own life to protect this secret . ashley : but someone else knew the secret , too , huh ? you could n't control your lover , brent davis , could you ? dina : brent means nothing to me . nothing . ashley : well , obviously he did at one time , mother . i mean , after all , he is my father . [ scoffs ] you know what that does to me ? when i think that that drunken slob was your lover ... ... and that out of your dirty little affair , i was born . dina : you were conceived and brought into this world with love . ashley : i was brought into this world out of betrayal -- betrayal to john abbott , to his children , and to your daughter . do you have any idea what you 've taken away from me ? ! dina : bonjour , gentlemen . devon : it 's our pleasure , madame mergeron . i 'm devon hamilton . it 's very nice to meet you . this is my father and business partner , neil winters . dina : of course . well , let 's hope this meeting is going to be worth my time . devon : can i get you guys anything to drink ? maybe an espresso or fresh- pressed juice ? graham : i 'll take care of it . dina : graham knows what i like . [ chuckles ] i understand the hamilton - winters group is a new endeavor for both of you , based in genoa city . neil : it is indeed . you know , you and i crossed paths there years ago , but i never had the chance of making your acquaintance . i 'm pleased to rectify that now . i actually know your family quite well , and we have a lot of mutual friends . and just so you know , i 've held top - level executive positions with both newman enterprises and with jabot . dina : merci . obviously i 'm very familiar with both of those companies . but we 're not here to talk about the competition . we 're here to talk about my company . but you must realize i have other attractive offers from other companies . neil : of course . we realize that . dina : so , tell me , why should i let you be the ones to take the prize , hmm ? dina : ashley , please . you 've got to believe -- ashley : i do n't have to believe anything because everything you 've ever said since before i was even born has been a lie ! there is not one thing about me that is real or honest . do you have any idea what that does to me ? victor : hello . ashley : hi . victor : you seem so far away in your thoughts . ashley : i guess i was . billy : so , what , that 's it , then ? conversation 's over ? victoria : i think you 've made yourself pretty clear . you 're done with me and you want phyllis , so i hope you do n't expect me to beg for you . billy : vick , we do n't have to let this ruin us . victoria : i have to reschedule this meeting with the lawyer , so if you have someplace that you need to be , i suggest you go there . lily : billy . hey , i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . billy : that makes two of us . do n't even , okay ? i do n't want to hear anything out of you . cane : hey , cool , 'cause i only want to talk to her . billy : why do n't you just give her a little bit of time ? she does n't need you gloating because i 'm a jackass . cane : i 'm not gloating . but you do realize i care about her and this company . billy : you know what , cane , for i do n't know how long , you 've been toeing this line , but the truth is -- cane : whoa , this is gon na be great , you 're gon na talk about the truth -- go ! give it to me . billy : the truth is , you 're a smug , self - righteous -- cane : smug , self - righteous what ? say it to me . say it to me . go . billy : i feel terrible for lily . she should have ran ... cane : okay . all right . so you 're gon na talk about my life when you just blew up your own like you always do . this is ... great . phyllis : how long does it take for victoria to rip into billy ? he 's just living his life . lauren : i know you 're angry , but i can not figure out who with . phyllis : it 's just -- this is exactly what i wanted to avoid -- being caught like , you know , cheating lovers . billy wanted to protect his ex - wife by not burning her with the truth yet , and instead of calm words , she gets an eyeful in the elevator . lauren : what did he say ? phyllis : what else could he say ? he admitted that we were back together . lauren : but ... phyllis : i kind of feel it 's only because she turned him down . lauren : oh , no , no , no , no . you are not gon na do this to yourself . phyllis : when we had the affair , it was wrong , but it was intense , and everything was heightened . the emotions were heightened . and , i mean , now that we 're out in the open , i mean , you know ... this is our normal way of life . lauren : [ laughs ] yeah . what 's the problem ? phyllis : i 'm wondering if billy and i can even do normal . lauren : do n't you think you at least deserve a chance to try ? i mean , if you want that . phyllis : i do ! i do want it . but what about billy ? what if this relationship is n't as exciting without the lying or the sneaking around ? i mean , how does he , you know , balance things with me with being a father to the kids ? i mean , maybe the whole thing 's just gon na be too much . you do n't know . i mean ... lauren : hey , look , if you do n't think he 's that invested , then maybe you should back up and take some time for yourself . phyllis : i want this . i do . i want it . but you look at victoria . she took her own sweet time , and look what happened . he took off . if i step back now , i might lose him , too . lauren : you ca n't build a life based on fear . if this is your man , you fight for him , but you remember , you deserve the best and do not accept anything less . ashley : abby was so proud that you trusted her enough to let her lead newman while you were away . victor : she did a hell of a job . ashley : she 's been working so hard to prove her worth to you and to the company . victor : if she continues like this , i have big plans for our daughter . ashley : well , you better treat her right , or i 'm gon na steal her away from you . victor : you know , she 's like you . she 's hardworking and determined , and if she makes up her mind to do something -- ooh , boy , do n't get in her way . ashley : [ laughs ] yeah , well ... i love her . the most important thing in the world to me . and you know what , she 's always gon na be my little girl , no matter how successful she becomes . victor : it 's unlike the way your mother felt about you , is n't it ? ashley : how long have you been waiting to say that to me ? victor : ever since i read it in the business news . you know , when i saw you sitting there all by yourself with a faraway look , you were thinking about dina mergeron , were n't you ? gloria : i 'm so sorry , jack . jack : yeah , it 's fine . gloria : no , it 's not . i 'm sorry i never made the connection with your family . chloe abandoning bella , your mother abandoning you ... it 's got to bring up a lot of thoughts and feelings . jack : actually , i 'm mostly thinking about my dad , what kind of advice he 'd give me . my mother , i swear , some days , it 's like she never existed . you ever meet her ? gloria : mnh - mnh . john talked about her , but not often . i got a glimpse when she came through town . jack : that 's the last time i saw her . she was n't much for staying in touch . gloria : yeah . that 's one selfish woman . to be so cold ... i 'm sorry she did that to you , jack . and your sisters . you do n't get over those kind of scars . jack : eh , my sisters and i did just fine . gloria : no . you are entitled to your anger . you are entitled to your hurt . and you 're entitled to know why you had to read about your own mother online ! she could n't make a damn call like a decent mother ? jack : i do n't care . it 's not a defense mechanism . i really do n't care . ashley has the anger , ashley has the resentment . do i wish we had a mother as we were growing up ? yeah . but we had a father who cared enough for two parents . and the truth is , we had a mother who could only look out for herself . neil : i 've held the title of c.e.o . at more than one multi - national . with our combined drive and experience , we plan to be the next great powerhouse company . modern and streamlined . our focus is on creativity and innovation on the future . dina : and yet , you think my old - school company would be a good fit for you , hmm ? neil : your company is established , but it 's anything but old . under your leadership , dina -- dina : madame . neil : of course . madame . under your leadership , your company has always stayed cutting - edge . always adjusting , maneuvering ... from trade policies to your approach to new technologies . devon : that 's right , and your streaming service is state - of - the - art and would be a tremendous asset to our entertainment division . dina : but you 've done your homework , have n't you ? devon : yes , ma'am . dina : but you must realize your company is barely in the conceptual stage . and with the acquisition of mergeron , well ... as your first acquisition , that gives me pause . but i thank you both for coming all this way , and i hope it was n't too inconvenient for you . but if you 'll excuse me , i , uh , do have other meetings ... neil : one second . i , um ... i do n't know with whom else you 're meeting , but i can assure you , they wo n't do for you what the hamilton - winters group will . dina : which is ? neil : build on your legacy . dina : well , i 'll certainly take that into consideration , mr. winters . it was lovely meeting you both . devon : madame mergeron , can you wait just a second ? devon : do n't go just yet . graham : madame is on a schedule . devon : i 'm aware . this will just take a second , though , if you hear me out . dina : but we 've already covered the essentials . devon : i know that hamilton - winters is n't another newman enterprises and mergeron yet , okay ? what my father and i are building , it 's still new , and i understand why you 'd have reservations about handing your company over to us . but let me tell you something . this man right here has all of the degrees , all the titles , and experience . i did n't earn my money . i did n't work for it . it was handed to me in an inheritance that i never saw coming , which is exactly why i 'm determined to deserve it and do right by it because i really believe that 's that what she would have wanted . dina : she ? devon : i 'm sorry , my grandmother is who i 'm speaking of . she was a wonderful woman , and i was actually already an adult by the time i learned that we were related . and after she passed , she left the bulk of her estate to me . and ever since then , i have just -- i 've always wanted to do something with that money that would make katherine chancellor proud . dina : you 're katherine chancellor 's grandson ? devon : yes , ma'am . dina : oh ! tell me more . gloria : seems we are friends . friends who talk . and maybe even friends who can tell each other the painful truth . jack : oh , dear , am i gon na like this ? gloria : you let go of the anger , jack . i applaud you for that , i truly do , but you 've never really let go of the hurt . your mother abandoned you . you 're telling me you can hear those words and feel nothing ? it 's probably the reason you 've gone through so many women . you know , you do n't get too attached so you do n't get too hurt when and if they leave . jack : truth is , i 've done most of the leaving . until recently . gloria : yeah , and that just bolsters my point . jack : you know what , ashley was psychiatrist earlier today . i think i 'm fully shrunk . gloria : you know , maybe today is a good day for a little self ... jack : reflection ? gloria : yeah . reflection . dina 's gon na be all over the news in the coming days . the business world is going to be breathlessly reporting all of the companies that are courting her , and you , my friend , will be reading every word of it , wo n't you ? jack : the wounds of the past heal . the scar tissue never disappears . it 's there underneath . it 's in me . maybe it always will be . victor : so you and jack had no idea that your mother , dina mergeron , was about to sell her company ? ashley : not at all . victor : mm . ashley : my mother has n't contacted us about anything . why would she start now ? victor : i mean , she ran that company for 30 years . now she 's about to sell . why ? ashley : i have no idea ! why do n't you give her a call ? you know , reach out to her , one mogul to another . victor : [ laughing ] mogul to another ... you do n't want to talk about her , do you ? ashley : you got that right . cane : i know this is none of my business , all right , and this is probably a tough time for you , so ... if you need to take a couple of days off , you know ? victoria : no . i 'm not gon na let billy run me out of my own business . it 's not worth it . cane : you know , i actually thought you guys were gon na get back together . victoria : yeah , so did i , but at least i do n't have to waste another second wondering where we stand . and i can focus on my work . cane : i just want to let you know i 'm here for you , all right ? whatever you need , i 'm here for you , okay ? victoria : thank you , cane . i appreciate that . it 's nice knowing that i have a colleague that i can trust , and i expect that i 'm gon na be relying on you more and more in the days to come . billy : hey . you know how many doors i had to knock on to find you ? what are you doing in here ? phyllis : honestly ? hiding . how 'd it go with victoria ? billy : it was n't easy . but it 's done . phyllis : i 'm sorry . i should n't have been so harsh with her . you were ... [ sighs ] you were doing -- you were doing the right thing . you were dealing with your ex - wife , i should have just ... i do n't know , it 's just the way she was talking to you ... billy : she was caught off guard , phyllis . phyllis : that , also , was my fault . i insisted to see you on the elevator , it was ridiculous . billy : do n't do that . please . do n't do that , okay ? phyllis : i made everything worse . billy : this is not your fault . i told you that i was gon na tell victoria sooner , and i did n't . this is on me . phyllis : i should have stayed away until you were ready . billy : there 's something between us . we both know that . and now we can be together . for real . phyllis : yeah . just the way we always wanted . [ next_on ] abby : why do n't i know my only living grandparent ? cane : because he 's a good dad -- that 's a reason to let him keep working here ? billy : there is something phyllis and i would like to tell you . phyllis : we wanted you to hear it from us . | the news that jack and ashley 's mother dina wants to sell her company opens up old wounds for both ashley and jack because dina abandoned them when they were children . ashley remembers the terrible day that she discovered brent davis was her biological father not john abbott . ashley tells both jack and victor that she does n't care about dina or what she does with her company . jack confides in gloria that that the wound from the abandonment has healed but the scars are still there and will never go away . gloria worries that raising bella will remind kevin that she was n't there when he needed her growing up . victor talks to abby about dina and that makes abby wonder why ashley never talked about dina with her . victoria finds billy and phyllis kissing in the elevator . billy tells victoria that he and phyllis are back together , but he remains quiet when victoria asks him if phyllis is the woman with whom he wants to be . phyllis leaves billy and victoria alone to talk and billy tells victoria that she took too long to make up her mind about a relationship with him . phyllis worries that she is billy 's second choice , because victoria turned him down . lauren advises phyllis to fight for billy but not to settle for being second best . neil and devon fly to paris to talk to dina about selling her company to them , but she thinks the company is just starting and wants to sell to a more established company . when devon tells her he is katherine chancellor 's grandson , she is eager to hear neil and devon 's proposal for her company . |

victor : you know , jack and i just decided to put down our arms . and now with victoria on board , the outlook for the company has never been better . nick : oh , i can feel it coming . there is where you pitch me on coming back to work for you at newman enterprises , and this is where i tell you that my club is reopening tonight and the underground is the only place i want to be . victor : all right . do n't think there has n't been many a time when i wish my only son were with me at the helm of my company . but that is not what i came here to discuss . i wanted to talk about something else . nick : well , i did n't know there was anything else for you except newman . victor : what do you know about gabriel bingham ? victoria : if it is n't the man who broke the internet yesterday . billy : i guess you heard i tanked my wedding , huh ? victoria : i think pretty much the whole world heard . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : [ sighs ] i would say bravo for calling chelsea out , but i know congratulations are n't in order right now . i know it was awful . billy : yeah , well , it needed to happen . chelsea and i , we were a mistake from the beginning . and getting her out of my life was the best thing that could have happened to me . chelsea : thanks for coming to watch connor on such short notice . i have to get to my meeting , and he has n't started daycare yet . speaking of my meeting , i 'm running late , so if you want to get started on the lecture , start now . anita : lecture ? chelsea : i know you 've probably been rehearsing your little speech about what a wreck i 've made of my life because i cheated on billy and now i wo n't be marrying an abbott . anita : all i care about is my baby 's feelings . and your future prospects . chelsea : what future prospects ? billy hates me . my relationship is over . anita : who said anything about billy ? stitch : okay , so that picture of sharon breaking into austin 's apartment ... abby : it could have been doctored . there were traces of latex found in sharon 's fingerprints on the tire iron , which means they could have been transferred . stitch : in other words , sharon could be as innocent as she says she is . abby : noah is relieved . stitch : yeah , well , i wish i was . because if sharon did n't kill austin or courtney , somebody else did . and if he or she finds out we have n't stopped investigating , then we 're still targets . abby : no one knows that better than me . stitch : nothing is gon na happen to you . i told you . i 'm not gon na let you get hurt again , okay ? ashley : okay . i mean , that 's it . if my daughter 's charms are just too potent that you ca n't act like a professional , maybe you should look for a job someplace else . kyle : thanks . bye . so , guy at the deli just confirmed they closed at 6 : 00 . summer : you were right , kevin . i mean , the lights would not be on at 9 : 00 , and that 's what the timestamp says . kevin : it was definitely forged . noah : so my mom was framed . kevin : it sure looks that way . noah : so , what are we doing ? let 's go see paul . kevin : he thinks he 's already id 'd the killer . he 's not gon na listen to us . noah : well , we need to make him listen , kevin . kevin : when has that ever worked ? the information needs to come from someone he trusts . paul : hey , dylan . what brings you by ? dylan : sharon and the new evidence we found . paul : right . i know all about it . michael told me . dylan : yeah , i know , but what i do n't know is why you dismissed it . paul , hey , her fingerprints were planted on the murder weapon . somebody else killed austin and courtney , and you 're spinning your wheels on sharon . you need to get to the bottom of this ! paul : and you need to stop doing michael 's job and stop telling me how to do mine ! this case is complicated enough without interference from a bunch of amateurs ! dylan : those amateurs discovered compelling evidence that exonerates sharon ! paul : oh , latex on a tire iron ? you know , there 's got to be a million reasons that could happen . i can not go to chris and ask her to dismiss the case because of a theory ! dylan : yeah , but it 's a good theory . it 's worth looking into . come on , paul . please . two people have already lost their lives . you want an innocent woman to lose hers ? sharon 's whole future is at stake here ! paul : you know , dylan , i am going to ignore the fact that you are implying that i am not looking for justice . and i 'm not going to ask you why this means so much to you and why you 're so invested in sharon . but i will ask you one question . does avery support all this ? dylan : come on . avery 's busy helping joe at rehab right now . paul : yeah . i just think you 're gon na get all mixed up in something that you 're gon na regret later . dylan : regret ? paul : yes . dylan : regret helping a friend who 's taking a fall for a murder she did n't commit ! why kind of person would i be if i turned my back on her ? kevin : michael 's not answering . summer : guess we just have to wait . noah : no , we ca n't wait . my mom 's face has been all over the news for days now . she 's a mess . do you know what it 's doing to my sister faith ? look , with all due respect to your brother , he was n't able to get through to paul about the fingerprints , so what makes you think he 's gon na make some headway now ? kevin : because we finally have hard proof that somebody 's setting sharon up . kyle : yeah , and if that someone gets wind of it , our parents will be planning our funerals . the sooner we contact the police , the better , kevin . summer : i was so relieved when they arrested sharon . i thought everything was over . but now we know that someone else killed austin and courtney . the question is who . anita : gabriel bingham . that 's who you should be setting your sights on . and what a sight he is . chelsea : mom . anita : what ? obviously you agree with me . you shacked up with mr. hunka hunka burnin ' love . that chiseled face -- looks like a greek god . and those abs -- ooh ! chelsea : how do you know what his abs look like ? anita : a woman can dream , ca n't she ? chelsea : okay , well , if you like him so much , you can chase after him . anita : i would , but he 's hot for you , so why do n't you hop to it and reel him in and claim your prize ? chelsea : what prize ? anita : gabriel bingham 's from a very socially prominent family , and i 'm sure he could find a few million hiding between the sofa cushions , if you know what i mean . chelsea : no , nothing is ever gon na happen between gabe and me . nothing ever should have happened in the first place . sleeping with him was the biggest mistake of my life . anita : [ sighs ] victor : speak of the devil . adam : devil ? i take that as a compliment coming from you . mind telling me why you 're , uh , why you 're priming my old boarding school pal here for information about me ? nick : i 'd like to know that myself . victor : we 're talking about the merger of newman and jabot , about the fact that i inherited a whole new staff of people i do n't know . adam : hmm . victor : i usually like to vet my employees before i hire them . adam : that makes sense . trying to get background information on me . victor : that 's right . adam : that 's good . except the thing is you already know my background , right , unless you 've forgotten about your business association with the late harrison bingham . did you tell him about that ? nick : what association ? victor : that 's another discussion , okay ? adam : hmm . victor : the only association i 'm interested in is the one that you and i are about to enter into . adam : you want to know what you 're in for , right ? victor : yeah . adam : i see . nick : there something funny ? adam : quite funny , actually , that your father here , the great victor newman , be intimidated by me . cracks me up . victor : [ laughs ] sonny boy ... adam : hmm ? victor : you do n't know what you 're getting into , do you ? adam : mnh . victor : that 's right . i 've surmised that you have an enormous ego . if i were you , i 'd check that ego a little bit , okay ? adam : i 'm not afraid of you , victor . victor : i love guys like you . cocky , full of themselves . that 's just what i like . adam : good . victor : i have a meeting to go to , son . so you and i will talk about the stuff we were talking about , okay , another time . adam : after you . victor : watch it . adam : got to love that guy , right ? nick : what is the matter with you ? you think you can intimidate my dad ? dude , you have no idea what you 're up against . adam : oh , i think i do . i think i do more than you know . nick : and what makes you think you have so much insight in my dad ? adam : well , his business dealings are stuff of legend . also i took the liberty of digging a little deeper , doing a little -- a little fact - finding on the guy . i think anybody that was about ready to work for victor newman would do just that , right ? nick : maybe . adam : okay . and then , uh , you know , there 's the tiny , little matter of his business dealings with [ sighs ] harrison bingham , so i feel like , you know , all that gives me a pretty good idea of what he 's capable of . nick : congratulations , binger . looks like you got everything figured out . but then again , you 've always had everything figured out , right ? adam : no , no , no , no . not everything . i would n't say that i have everything figured out . i 'm not always right . although i was right about you dumping sage on her ass , right ? she told me about that . now that you think about it , i was n't such a bad husband after all , was i , if we 're still close enough that she confides in me . nick : the only reason she does that is 'cause she does n't have anyone else to talk to . she 's been under your thumb for so many years . she does n't have a life of her own . adam : that was her choice . it 's not my fault that she 's a loyal person . nick : you did n't deserve that loyalty . you kept her trapped in a loveless marriage , and the whole time , you were chasing after chelsea , dogging her till finally you ruined her wedding . adam : is that what you heard ? that i ruined her wedding ? i had nothing to do with it . billy abbott took care of that all on his own . billy : oh , go figure . a relationship that started out with her drugging me so that she could have sex with me while i 'm unconscious did n't end well . hmm . victoria : well , you know , you could n't have gotten her back any better if you paraded her around town and pinned a scarlet `` a `` to her . billy : i know this is probably hard to believe , but it really was n't about retaliation . i just wanted her to see how many people she hurt when she cheated on me with gabe , because it was n't just about me . i mean , my whole family . you , too . victoria : is that why you invited me to the wedding ? billy : yeah . 'cause you always went out of your way to make her feel comfortable . and you invited her to katie 's christening , and then she turns around and she thumbs her nose at it ? oh , whatever . i just ... lesson learned . moving on , i guess . victoria : i hate to tell you , but it 's not gon na be that easy . billy : yeah . victoria : yeah . billy : listen , um ... i know that you know what it feels like , but i was luckier than you . chelsea and i were n't married . we did n't have kids together . although i am gon na miss connor . he started calling me daddy . victoria : that 's cute . billy : yeah . victoria : but , you know , you have two little kids at home that adore you , and they would love it if you came by and hung out with them . billy : i 'm not so sure that your roommate would like that . victoria : my roommate ? billy : stitch ? unless you 've got somebody else living there that i need to be aware of . victoria : you know what ? the important thing is , is that you do n't let yourself get bitter like i was and just learn to accept change . there 's a lot of it going around these days . stitch : all right , there 's no need to threaten my job . i already told you i 'll stick to the rules . ashley : you just broke them . abby : come on , mom . it 's not like he was ripping my clothes off . he was trying to make me feel better . ashley : yeah , i saw that . abby : about the murder case . there 's been some developments . ashley : nothing that puts you in danger again , i hope . abby : no , i 'm -- i 'm safe . ashley : well , that 's good . i have to ask the two of you , what are you doing ? do you realize what you 're getting yourselves into ? because once this fling ends , things are just gon na get messier with victoria . abby : fling ? maybe that 's what you want to believe is going on between me and ben , but what we have is the real thing . paul : we have evidence that proves that sharon was at summer and austin 's building the night he was killed . dylan : even if she was , that does n't mean she killed the guy . paul : you know ... i know you think sharon is innocent . but chris is convinced she can win this case . so if you really consider yourself a good friend , what you should do is prepare sharon for what 's coming . she could spend the rest of her life in jail . she needs to do whatever she can to make it easy on herself and the rest of her family . dylan : are you saying to tell her to confess to two crimes she did n't commit ? [ cell phone rings ] dylan : [ sighs ] yeah . what 's up ? noah : hey , kevin and i are headed over to crimson lights right now . we need your help with something important . dylan : i 'll be there as soon as i can . paul : all right , you obviously have somewhere to go . think about what i said . dylan : thanks . but i have a better way of being a good friend to sharon . noah : all right , we 'll call you later , let you know what 's up . summer : okay , just try not to attract too much attention . kevin : me ? attract attention ? [ door closes ] kyle : so , are you gon na be all right on your own ? i have to go play a round of golf with my dad . summer : i 'm just a little confused . is n't the point for the abbotts to have a strong presence at the office now that you guys have merged with newman ? how are you gon na do that when you 're at the golf course ? kyle : look , if my dad wants to play a round of golf , who am i to argue ? summer : i do n't know . i just think that you should try to get through to him . kyle : look , he 's not gon na get any more flak from me , okay ? he 's getting enough of that from the rest of the family . they 're even trying to vote him out of the company . summer : would that be so bad ? i mean , he does n't seem that interested anyways . kyle : how can you say that ? summer : how can you deny it , kyle ? kyle : [ scoffs ] god , summer , you know , i ca n't seem to say anything right or do anything right with you anymore . what 's the problem ? are you pissed because i 'm not working hard enough or because i 'm not paying you enough attention ? summer : i do n't -- i do n't know -- kyle : you know , i 'm beginning to understand what went wrong with your marriage . ashley : well , now that we 've established what the parameters of your relationship are , maybe we should just get back to work . abby : sure , yeah , yeah . let 's -- let 's work . ashley : i have every intention of talking to jack about this ridiculous idea of victoria 's to shelf hex , okay ? so we 're just gon na keep fine - tuning it , maybe come up with a new marketing strategy . that is , if you can keep your hands from groping each other for a few hours , please . abby : [ sighs ] stitch : well , i guess we better get to it , huh ? let 's see . abby : you know , um , first i just , um , i want to apologize , saying that , uh , what you and i have is the real thing . i mean , that 's something that we should have discussed in private before i opened my big but perfectly shaped mouth . [ chuckles ] stitch : hey , no worries . [ chuckles ] victoria : morning . it 's nice to see everyone so hard at work . what 's the status of things ? is there a problem ? stitch : uh , it was , um , it was personal . sorry . victoria : i thought we agreed to keep it to a minimum . why do n't we stick to that , all right ? ashley : i 'm trying to warn you . things are just gon na get worse with victoria . now , what did you say to abby ? victor : thank you kindly for joining me . i mean , it 's very nice of you considering your recent difficulties . chelsea : you might as well just say it . i 'm a tramp , and everyone found out about it at my wedding . victor : well , you 're not . i 'm sorry this happened . you and my grandson are better off without him , i assure you . chelsea : connor adored him , and vice versa . victor : having said that , have you had a chance to think about my offer ? chelsea : yes . and i 've decided to accept . victor : that 's wonderful . chelsea : with the caveat that i will still have full creative control of my line just like i did at jabot . i do n't need people who know nothing about designing telling me how to do my job . victor : now , if by `` people `` you mean victoria , then i can assure you that the two of you will forge a very positive working relationship , you know ? you may also work alongside gabriel bingham . does that bother you considering your ... recent history ? chelsea : there 's no history . it was an indiscretion , a regretful indiscretion . victor : regretful because of the consequences or because of his character ? chelsea : i mean , i - i do n't -- i do n't really know him that well . victor : he went into a burning building to save your son . chelsea : i mean , any decent human being would have done that . victor : but he risked his life saving someone he did n't really know . chelsea : gabe has really been putting himself out for connor since the beginning . they 've -- they 've bonded from the start . but it 's -- it 's connor , you know ? he 's an easy kid to love . victor : but , of course , no one loved him like his real father loved him . chelsea : and no one ever will . billy : [ sniffs ] anita : so , humiliating my daughter was n't enough ? you have to rob her , too ? billy : these are my things , anita . i was just coming back to collect them . well , hey . hey , buddy . how you doing ? anita : oh , no . you do n't get to make nice after what you did today , after all those awful things he said about your mommy , huh , connor ? no , when he 's no better . you know what they say about sinners who live in glass houses . billy : invest in thicker curtains ? anita : you know , billy , i really am sorry that it did n't work out with you and chelsea . but you never really stood a chance . her heart still belongs to adam . billy : no accounting for taste . anita : well , i guess i 'll leave you to it . billy : anita , um ... do you mind if i say goodbye ? anita : i guess it ca n't hurt , can it , honey ? billy : hey , buddy . anita : here we go . here we go . billy : i missed you . anita : i 'm gon na be upstairs if you need me . billy : we 'll have some of these , too . anita : yeah . there you go . billy : [ sniffs ] so , uh , i wanted to talk to you for a minute if i could , 'cause , um ... i 'm not gon na be living here anymore . that 's the way the world works sometimes , you know ? things change , and , uh ... [ sighs ] listen , we do n't have to forget , do we ? you , um ... you will always have a really special place in my life , 'cause every time i would look into your eyes ... i see my ... my beautiful little girl . and you saw me through some really tough times . yeah . [ sniffles ] so , um ... some years may pass , and your memories of me may start to fade , but ... i 'm never gon na forget you . okay , you will always be right here . forever . and it was an honor to be your daddy . [ sniffles ] yeah . adam : the , uh , train wreck that was chelsea 's wedding , that was on billy , not me . nick : the way i heard it , he 's not the one who did the cheating . adam : mm - hmm . why do you suppose she stepped out on him ? why do you think that happened ? 'cause he never made her happy . not completely . it 's hard to do that when you got one foot out the door , and that 's what he was -- one foot out the door waiting for victoria , right , just hoping that she 'd become available . that 's -- what is that ? chelsea deserves somebody who loves her absolutely . nick : and the way you love someone , you control them , stalk them ? you 're just a selfish bastard . you do n't care who you destroy in life as long as you get what you want . and , you know , the next time my dad asks me about you , that 's exactly what i 'm gon na tell him . kevin : that 's why we 've come to you . you may be the one person who can convince paul to drop the case . dylan : good luck with that . he just threw me out of his office . noah : as soon as you show him the doctored video , he 's gon na have to take you seriously . kevin : all you have to do is get him to call a cyber forensic expert to prove that the footage was messed with . dylan : oh , that 's -- that 's it ? kevin : it 's not as complicated as it sounds . you just call in someone to look at the hard drive . dylan : what ? kevin : ed . he 's the expert . he can trace the origin of the file , find out when and how it was altered , and for him , it 'd be child 's play . dylan : for ed ? kevin : yes . dylan : well , why do n't you -- why do n't you do it ? kevin : i could . it 'd be child 's play for me , too . the thing is , ed is the expert . he has credentials . he can get on the witness stand and testify . i 've been on the witness stand a couple times . it never goes very well . dylan : kevin , why do n't you talk to paul about this ? kevin : he and i are n't exactly on the best of terms right now . i do n't think he was happy that i tried to thwart a murder investigation . dylan : yeah , he is sensitive about stuff like that . noah : that does n't even matter , okay ? dylan , you have the strongest connection with paul . dylan : and that 's what i 'm trying to avoid , okay ? i do n't want to abuse my relationship with paul . he 's getting pretty tired of me coming to the office saying , `` hey , we found a new lead . `` noah : but it 's not like we 're asking you to do something skeevy here , like get out of a parking ticket , or even bend the rules . we just want him to see the truth . now , my mom was n't at summer and austin 's apartment that night , so he did n't kill anybody . you think that 's the truth , do n't you ? dylan : yeah , of course i do . and the facts will come out . noah : you said that you would do anything to help my mom . dylan : yes , i did , and i meant it . we just may need to be patient . noah : every day that she 's under house arrest is another day that the press can spin a lie about her . it 's another day that she has to explain to faith that she ca n't pick her up from school . now , that is not gon na be good for her condition , which you know can be a little delicate . so please , dylan , you want to help my mom ? make paul see the truth . summer : that 's what you think of me ? that i am such a needy , little girl that i drove austin to find a bed buddy in abby ? kyle : no , summer , i - i ... i did n't mean to say that , okay ? i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i do n't know what you want from me . summer : and i do n't know what you want from me , either . you keep telling me that you 're gon na protect me from whoever killed austin and courtney , but then -- then you turn around and you try to impress me with dinners or -- or gifts , and then you go to leave me to play golf ! okay , honestly , i do n't even think i want a damn thing from you , but you keep promising me all these things , and that is the worst thing that you can do , kyle , 'cause it 's gon na make me think that everything is gon na be okay . [ knock on door ] abby : [ voice breaking ] hi . i , um , i hope this is n't a bad time . [ sniffles ] summer : w - what 's wrong ? why are you crying ? abby : because you 're right . i am a horrible person . i fall into bed with all of the wrong people . i never think about the consequences . and this time , i actually thought there was something between stitch and me , something real . i mean , i have never felt this way about anyone before . summer : yeah , i felt that about austin . you know what happened with that . abby : [ sighs ] kyle : what ? you and stitch broke up ? abby : i do n't even know how to answer that 'cause i do n't even know if we were together in the first place . kyle : there 's a lot of that going around . summer : okay , no , that 's it . if you 're gon na play golf and you 're gon na sit here and feel sorry for yourself , then i 'm gon na catch up with kevin and noah , because unlike you two , i actually care about finding who killed my husband and my best friend . [ door closes ] stitch : abby caught me off guard with her declaration . and then when she gave me an opening to tell her how i feel -- ashley : you did n't take it . stitch : look , you 're the one who almost fired me for getting too personal in the workplace . i was trying to keep things professional . ashley : so , what the hell are you doing ? this is my daughter , and i do n't want to see her hurt . stitch : that 's what i 've been doing for weeks now -- trying to keep abby from getting hurt . ashley : you do n't get this , right , because you are not doing a very good job of it . victor : hello . ashley : hello . victor : is victoria in her office ? ashley : she 's in her office . yes , in her office . victor : okay . so sorry to interrupt you . victoria : oh , no , that 's all right . victor : some good news to you . chelsea has agreed to design for newman - abbott after all . victoria : really ? victor : yes . victoria : even knowing that i 'll be overseeing everything ? chelsea : your father assured me i 'll have creative control on all final decisions . victor : i am sure the two of you can forge a very good working relationship , all right ? victoria : all right . if you think this is for the best . victor : okay . i 'll leave you to it . chelsea : i 've brought some sketches for you if you 'd like to look them over . victoria : why bother if we 're just gon na do it your way ? i hope these are a little more stylish than your last line . i know there 's a lot of girls in the office that like that cutesy look , but i would never wear it . chelsea : i 'm sorry . i did n't realize i was designing clothes for you . victoria : you could n't even if you tried . i like my clothes with a little class . chelsea : your father promised me i would be treated with respect . victoria : respect ? like the respect that you showed billy when you had sex with your next - door neighbor ? adam : hello ? billy : moving in now ? adam : the door was open . billy : i guess anita left it that way when she took off with connor . adam : took off with connor ? where 'd they go ? billy : they went to the park , gabe . kids like to go to the park . maybe that 's something you 'll learn when you have kids of your own instead of latching on to somebody else 's . adam : right . so he 's okay ? billy : no , gabe , he 's not okay . his mother 's supposed to be married . we 're supposed to be living here happily , but you screwed that up . and now that little boy 's world has been blown apart . and he does n't have a father -- again . adam : damn it , man . you actually think that you were that little boy 's father ? hmm ? you were the one that latched on . you were a substitute , billy , like a babysitter . you changed his diapers and you give him toys . big deal . tomorrow he 's gon na be smiling again . six weeks from now , you 'll be some -- some distant memory , a faceless blob that occupied space in his mother 's bed , space that rightfully belonged to his real father , by the way . billy : you shut the hell up about connor 's real father . that kid is damn lucky he 'll never know that guy . and as for you , stay the hell away from that boy , 'cause the last thing he needs is to have his mother parading her latest conquest in front of his face , although i have no doubt that chelsea will do just that . adam : you are a real son of a bitch . you know that ? billy : [ chuckles ] adam : you 're gon na judge her like that ? do you have any idea why she came running to me , billy ? you ever think about that ? she caught you with your tongue down your ex - wife 's throat ! that 's why ! victoria : how could you do this to billy ? he helped you after adam died . he 's been raising connor as his own , and this is how you repay him ? by cheating on him ? chelsea : look who 's talking . the woman who had her lips all over billy . yeah , i saw you . so do n't go preaching to me about being a good person when you 're the one who 's been trying to seduce my fiancé . victoria : it was one kiss . chelsea : oh , like hell it was , victoria ! victoria : and billy pulled away because of his commitment to you ! chelsea : commitment ? ! billy was never fully committed to me because he was too busy waiting for his opening with you , and boy , did you give it to him . victoria : just shows me how dirty your mind is . you know , billy was connor 's one shot at a decent life . chelsea : do not mention my son 's name ! do n't ! do n't ever mention his name ! ashley : knock it off ! what is going on in here ? chelsea : why do n't you ask the bitch that stole your office ? i 'm done here . victoria : oh , are you quitting ? chelsea : victoria , i would n't give you the satisfaction . you are stuck with me , and i 'm gon na make your life a living hell . victoria : [ sighs ] kyle : so , stitch did n't say anything ? abby : and we all know what that means . `` bye - bye , abby . have a nice life . `` kyle : yeah . i 'm getting the same vibe from summer right now . it 's definitely not how it used to be . abby : before you thought you were brother and sister ? kyle : yes , actually . you know , it was just more fun before that . it was so relaxed and laid back and , you know , we had a good time together . abby : she was practically a kid back then . she followed you around . she worshipped you . kyle : yeah . why ca n't it be like that again ? abby : because summer 's grown up a lot . she 's had to . she 's been through a lot the past couple of years , made some difficult decisions , and she 's been hurt . kyle : by people very close to her . abby : true . um ... but what i 'm saying is -- is that if you want a relationship with summer , then it 's gon na take more than expensive gifts and fancy nights out on the town . you 've got to get real . kyle : you really think i can do that ? abby : [ chuckles ] honestly , kyle , i do n't know . but you should try . she needs you right now . she 's a mess , which is totally understandable after watching your murdered husband tumble out of an armoire . i am just so happy the police have taken that out of our hands , especially since courtney was killed because she found out something that the murderer did n't want anyone to know . kevin : hey . where 's kyle ? summer : you would n't believe me if i told you . kevin : volunteering at a soup kitchen ? playing bingo at a nursing home ? summer : no , he is at my apartment with abby . kevin : what 's unbelievable about that ? hanging out with abby would be third on my list after gazing at himself in a mirror and golfing . noah : [ chuckles ] what are they doing ? summer : it 's what they 're not doing that 's bothering me . i mean , should n't we be trying to find this killer now that we know it 's not sharon ? they 're acting like it 's not even important , and it should be the most important thing in all of our lives right now . i 'm really starting to question kyle 's priorities . noah : well , maybe he 's not the guy that you thought he was . maybe it 's time to reevaluate the relationship with kyle abbott . nick : hey . summer : hi . nick : i got your text . what 's so urgent ? noah : we got proof that mom is innocent . dylan : hey . paul : now what ? dylan : well , since i saw you , there 's been a development in the case . paul : a development ? you have n't been gone five minutes . dylan : kevin . kevin got onto something -- paul : kevin ? ! what do i have to do to get all of you to stay out of this ? ! dylan : just check your computer . there 's surveillance video outside austin 's apartment the night he was killed . it 'll tell you everything that you need to know . paul : i ca n't . it 's impossible . dylan : that timestamp ca n't be right . somebody 's duping us , paul . paul : i am trying to tell you i ca n't look at the footage because our computer system has been compromised . and austin 's computer has been stolen , the same one that sharon tried to rip off . dylan : how -- how does that even happen in a police station ? paul : a very good question . if i knew the answer to that , i 'd probably be certain of the killer , too , would n't i ? why are you so sure that sharon is innocent ? dylan : come on , paul ! sharon did n't do this ! why would anyone bother to try to steal evidence if you already have the killer ? why ? because there 's something on that computer that will free sharon and incriminate somebody else ! you owe it to sharon , you owe it to me , and you owe it to the victims to find it ! nick : look , i hear what you 're saying , but i think you may be getting carried away . noah : are you that angry with mom that you 're just willing to throw logic out the window , dad ? what we 're telling you makes sense . [ cell phone rings ] noah : it 's dylan . dylan , hey . yeah , i 'm here with , uh , summer and my dad and kevin right now . hold on , i 'll put you on speaker , okay ? all right , what 's happening ? did you talk to paul ? dylan : yeah , i brought him up to speed about everything . noah : so he 's on board ? dylan : to a point . he was n't exactly able to look at the evidence because the gcpd computer got compromised and austin 's laptop is missing . noah : are you -- kevin : missing ? dylan : i know that it 's a blow to the case , but at least paul 's willing to -- to consider that there 's another suspect out there . look , i got -- i got to go . i 'll be in touch . summer : oh , my god . the killer did this . they took that evidence . kevin : somebody realizes we 're on to him , that we know he 's framing sharon . noah : dad , come on . you have to admit some of this makes sense . stitch : hey , mind if i come in ? i was hoping to talk to abby . kyle : oh , it 's a little late for that , do n't you think ? stitch : let me ask you something . you actually think about what you 're gon na say before you open your mouth or you just go with the first stupid thing that pops through that stupid brain of yours ? abby : it 's okay , kyle . what do you want ? [ door closes ] stitch : some privacy . kyle : take care of yourself . stitch : hey , look , um , back in the lab , i did n't -- i did n't handle that in the best manner . abby : i got the message . you do n't think there 's a chance for us . stitch : but i do . i think you and i could have something really , really good . victoria : if this keeps up , i guess we can start selling tickets . ashley : [ sighs ] chelsea deserved it . what she did , i mean , she betrayed my brother , and if you had n't told her off , i would have . well done , by the way . victoria : it 's probably the nicest thing you 've said to me in awhile . ashley : yeah , well , we 've been having some problems . but you were always a very good match for billy , and i 'm sorry things did n't work out for you two . billy : you know what , man ? i 'm sick of it . i do n't want to hear another word out of you . adam : what are you gon na do ? you gon na hit me again ? huh ? do it . hit me again . it 'll give me a reason to have your ass thrown in jail where you belong . chelsea : wait . you -- you hit him ? what were you thinking ? billy : i do n't know . take a guess . this guy has had an agenda from the beginning . i mean , that was no surprise . but you ? you really fooled me . i honestly thought that you had changed , but you 're the same piece of trash you always have been . adam : do n't talk to her like that , man . billy : those words that you said to me , how you trusted me , how you loved me , if you really trusted me , you 'd have known that nothing happened between me and victoria . and if you loved me , you never would have thrown yourself at this son of a -- chelsea : billy -- billy : did it make you feel better ? did it ? i know everything i need to know about this relationship . i was another mark in a long con for you . adam : sorry . chelsea : everything he said about me is true . [ next_on ] victor : you arrogant jackass . you do not undo what i have worked so hard to build up . kyle : where do you get off talking to my dad like that ? kelly : [ groans ] | at the athletic club , victor and nick discuss jack and victor going into partnership with him . nick tells victor about his new club opening up that very night . gabriel walks in and watches them . victor asks nick about gabriel . victoria joins billy at the coffeehouse where she finds out about the failed wedding . anita visits chelsea and tells her that she ought to pursue gabriel . at the lab , abby and ben discuss the evidence against sharon . ben comforts abby when ashley walks in and tells him that he is breaking company policy and should look for another job . at home , summer , noah , kevin , and kyle discuss the new evidence they 've found to help sharon . dylan urges paul to investigate this matter further about the tire iron , but paul refuses . paul reprimands dylan for his interference . dylan pleads sharon 's case . kevin tries to call michael but with no luck . kevin tells the others that sharon is innocent and is being framed . gabriel joins nick and victor . victor and gabriel have a heated conversation about why victor is checking up on him . after victor leaves , nick warns gabriel as to who he is dealing with . abby tells ashley that what is between her and ben is the real thing . ben refuses to comment , which leads abby to believe that he does n't want a committed relationship . paul tells dylan to prepare sharon for the worst , because she may be going to prison for a long time . dylan receives a call from noah to meet him and kevin at the coffeehouse . kyle warns summer that she has driven her husband into the arms of another woman . kyle and summer argue as usual . |
nick : you know , today 's ceremony is a chance for everybody who loved sage to say goodbye . faith : it 'll be sad . nick : yeah . it 's gon na be really sad . we 're all gon na miss her . but at least we 're gon na have all those good memories that we can hang on to , right ? faith : like when sage used to read to us . nick : yeah . exactly . you know , a big part of today is gon na be sharing those memories and celebrating the fact that sage was in our lives and we 're very grateful for that . faith : and 'cause we know she 's wish the angels now with christian . dylan : i 'm gon na stop by the club after the service , and , uh , i want to take a look at the surveillance footage from the day abby fell . lily : why are the police investigating ? it was an accident . dylan : abby asked me to look into it . lily : well , is there something that we should know ? is there a reason to be suspicious ? dylan : no . just , uh , dotting the `` i 's , `` crossing the `` t 's `` on this one . lily : okay . well , i 'll be expecting you , then . dylan : thanks , lily . lily : thanks . dylan : wha - what 's this ? sharon : what 's what ? dylan : well , you 're supposed to be dressed . we got to go . sharon : um ... i 'm not gon na do , dylan . i ca n't . [ knock on door ] victoria : come in . nikki : hi , sweetheart . victoria : hey , mom . nikki : i thought we could go to the service together . victoria : yeah , sure . just give me a few minutes to finish up . nikki : oh , take your time . it 's fine . [ sighs ] it 's still hard to believe that we 're burying sage today . we have to be very strong for your brother , really come together as a family . victoria : yeah . i agree . today should be all about nicholas , which is why i want to get this off my chest right now . nikki : it has something to do with your father ? victoria : we all know that curtis fielding is the only board member on dad 's side . so giving him your proxy to vote would be lethal . it would be like handing dad a weapon that he 'd turn around and use against me . so , my question is , why did you do it , mom ? meredith : okay . good . 122/76 . victor : that 's good . meredith : yeah . victor : i 'll live . meredith : you will . now as long as nobody punches you , your injury should heal quite nicely . victor : uh , nobody punched me , okay ? meredith : oh , that 's right . i forgot . so , um , i 'm curious . when i wrote you up for using my phone , were you disciplined in any way ? victor : yeah . they cut down my exercise time . meredith : well , i hope you understand why i had to report it . victor : of course i do . i broke the rules , so you did nothing wrong . there are consequences . meredith : well , your pragmatism is quite refreshing . you 're free to go . victor : all right . let me ask you . have -- have you thought about the discussion we had yesterday about your dad ? i mean , how he and i had similar views about things and how i might help you to understand how he relates to his children ? meredith : all families are different . victor : yeah , but you know , if you heard what i have to say about all this , since he and i are somewhat similar , maybe you would find him more sympathetic . meredith : can i be honest with you , victor ? victor : sure . meredith : you are locked in here , spending all day , every day , looking for new and improved ways to torture your own wife and kids . victor : what ? meredith : hold on . hear me out , please . and yet , at the same time , you 're also looking for them to sympathize with you . so , do n't you see the disconnect ? victor : but i 'm not looking for anyone 's sympathy . what are you talking about ? meredith : well , what are -- victor : i did n't ask my children to come here . they are the ones who are looking for forgiveness . chelsea : are you okay ? are you ready for today ? adam : yeah . no . i 'm not . i just ... what if i 'm not ? what if -- what if i just want to go back upstairs and want to pull the sheets over my head and just pretend like this whole damn thing is n't happening ? chelsea : i know this is awful for you . just -- just know that i 'm -- i 'm with you every step of the way . adam : i know that . i know that you are . thank you . i just get a little nervous about showing my face at memorials , you know ? chelsea : why ? you and sage were friends . everyone will be expecting to see you there . adam : it 's not that . chelsea : well , then what is it ? adam : i just have a hard time at these things , you know ? it 's like , that 's , uh -- at christian 's memorial , that 's how victor found out that i was the father . i ca n't -- ca n't keep everything in , you know ? chelsea : you and sage were close . listen to me . no one is going to be questioning your grief . [ doorbell rings ] adam : expecting someone ? chelsea : no . adam : all right . hold on . hey . michael . michael : may i come in ? adam : please . come on in . yeah . michael : thanks . hey . chelsea : hey . michael : i was on my way to the memorial service . uh , i thought i might deliver my news in person . adam : what news would that be ? michael : well , as it turns out , i am sage 's executor . [ sighs ] she named you in the will . i 'd like you to be present when it 's read . summer : i wish we could just stay here forever . but since we ca n't ... luca : who says we ca n't ? summer : no . it 's -- yeah , it 's getting late . i should probably go get in the shower and get ready for sage 's memorial service . luca : you know , if you 'd like , i can rearrange my day , come with you for moral support . summer : that 's really sweet of you . um , but as much as i would love to have you there to lean on , just given the way my family feels ... i do n't know . luca : say no more . i 'll be here afterward , waiting for you . summer : okay . thank you for understanding . my dad just -- you know , he has enough to deal with today . max : what are you doing here ? abby : i 'm looking for your father . we need to talk . max : you 're wasting your time . he 's never gon na forgive you about what you said to me . abby : we 'll see . lily : hi . so , charlie set up the game . he 's waiting for you . abby : wow . i ca n't believe you agreed to another playdate . lily : um , stitch got paged into work , so i offered to watch max . abby : lily , he goaded your son into pulling a fire alarm in a public place . he 's not a good influence . lily : well , charlie decided to give him another chance , so i said okay . i mean , they 're just playing checkers . i 'll keep a close eye on them . abby : smart idea . lily : abby , what is going on with you ? why are stitch and max staying here ? abby : max is still upset with me , but , lily , i know i 'm right . lily : abby , you 're grieving . your emotions are all over the place . abby : it 's not hormones . the kid has hated me since the day we met . he 's hated the idea of being a family . if he sees me as a threat , i can only imagine how he sees this -- this child , this child that would tie me to his father forever . lily : max is a kid . what you 're accusing him of -- lily : is horrible . yes . i know . but my baby is dead , and every instinct in me is telling me that max is responsible . lily : have you really thought this through ? getting the police involved ? i mean , having them investigate your husband 's eight - year - old son ? that 's the kind of thing that can wreck a marriage . are you willing to risk that ? dylan : sleep tight , little man . you know ... sage was more than just somebody you worked with . you know , she was a friend , someone who turned to you when she lost her child and was drowning with grief , and -- and you let her take comfort in our son when nothing came close to doing that . it 's one of the kindest things i 've ever seen you do . i know that , um -- that you 're having a hard time accepting that she 's gone . you know , we all are . but today , this is about honoring sage 's life and the people that she left behind , doing what 's right for them . and faith -- you know , faith 's never been to a service like this . it 'd be great if her mom was there , showing her by example that this is just -- you know , it 's a part of life , something caring that people do , that when tough situations like this happen , you know , we all stick together . it 's gon na be a tough day for nick . and i 'm sure he 'd appreciate it if you were there . sharon : okay . you 're right . i 've been very caught up in everything that i 've been going through , but this does affect a lot of other people . adam : sage left me something ? michael : yep . adam : huh . chelsea : well , what is it ? michael : um ... well , i ca n't tell you that now . the reading 's going to be at newman tower following the , uh , memorial service . adam : well , who 's gon na be there ? michael : various newman family members . look , i 've got to head out . i 'll see you at the memorial . chelsea : we 'll be there . [ door closes ] adam : sage 's bequest . what if it 's about christian ? victoria : dad thinks that it 's our fault that he 's in prison . in his mind , it 's not because of the terrible crimes that he 's committed but it 's because he thinks that we betrayed him . you knew that his thinking was twisted like this , and yet you helped to humiliated me . he sold newman cosmetics out from underneath me , a division that has been mine all along , to billy of all people . you pretend like you do n't know what 's going on , but you know what 's going on ! why did you give up that vote ? nikki : i was desperate , victoria ! your father was refusing to see me , and i felt like my whole life was falling apart . i was losing him . i was losing myself ! and then nicholas got him to agree to see me , and i was so ecstatic until i saw him , face to face . he was so cold . he was so distant . i was practically begging him to forgive me . i - i said -- i said , `` i 'll do anything . just -- just tell me what you want . `` victoria : and what he wanted was the power to screw me over , which you conveniently handed him . nikki : oh , my god . i can not believe he would be so spiteful that he would deliberately hurt you . victoria : well , he did . nikki : my darling , i am so sorry . i - i did n't think it through . victoria : no , you did n't . he used you , mom . nikki : i know the damage is done . the one thing i 've learned through this whole horrific experience is that victor is never , ever going to forgive me . meredith : forgiveness . that 's a pretty tall order . victor , you are hurting people that your family cares about . and now you 're just going out of your way to antagonize them . victor : i 'm not going out of the way to antagonize them . i mean , you and i are talking pretty honestly . what you may not know is that my family testified against me , their own father . i think they come to visit me because they realize that , you know , they did something egregiously wrong . when they come to see me , i can see that they are regretful . i think they 're asking for my love and forgiveness . meredith : how can there be any hope of healing and redemption if you ca n't admit that you 've done anything wrong ? adam : why else would sage have left me that message ? why -- why would she be so intent on talking to me about christian ? i 'm telling you , my father lied to me . he told her that i switched the results of the paternity test . that 's what happened . chelsea : adam , adam , stop . you are letting your guilt get the best of you . adam : no , no , no . no , i do n't think so . chelsea : let 's just think about this logically for one second , okay ? let 's just say that victor outed you . why would he lie about it now ? think about it . what good would that do him ? adam : honey , i do n't know . i never know what 's going on inside that guy 's head . i do n't know . chelsea : why would he even tell sage ? because what would sage do with that information ? hmm ? she would go straight to nick . babe , that would destroy nick . that would absolutely devastate him . adam : yeah , you 're probably right . and my father cares nothing about collateral damage . you know that . chelsea : okay . you are overreacting because you 're upset . just because sage left you something does n't mean that she knows that you were christian 's father . for all we know -- who knows ? you spent all of that time in constance 's home with sage . maybe she wanted , you know , you to have some keepsake . that 's possible , is n't it ? adam : a keepsake ? sweetheart , really ? come on . we both know the truth has a way of coming out . chelsea : but putting it in her will ? that would just be mean . that would just be cruel . and , sage -- she did n't have a vindictive bone in her body , babe . i mean , she would never have wanted the truth to come out like this . adam : well , maybe not , but you know what ? her whole world got turned upside down the day that gabriel bingham died rescuing me . and then she got caught up in my life and all of my problems and the damn newmans . chelsea : what are you talking about ? she met the love of her life through you -- nick . adam : yeah , but that does n't take away from the fact that she feels betrayed and lied to and taken advantage of by me . maybe -- maybe this is her way of settling the score . chelsea : so , what do we do now ? adam : well , the only thing we can do . we -- we go to the memorial , we honor her , and then we go to the reading ... together and we -- we see what she has in store for us . victor : i miss my family a lot today . especially today . my son is burying his wife . meredith : oh . i 'm so sorry . i - i - i had no idea . how did it happen ? victor : she died in a car accident . meredith : wow . that 's a terrible shock . victor : well . [ sighs ] he and his wife had a little baby boy called christian , named after me . but he was born prematurely , did n't survive it . so , within a year 's time , my son has to deal with the loss of two -- two people . and i ca n't be there . it breaks my heart . anyway , it puts things in perspective , you know ? meredith : wow . why are you telling me all this ? victor : [ sighs ] nick : thanks for coming by and offering to give us a ride . noah : anything i can do to help . faith : today 's about remembering the good times you had with sage . right , daddy ? nick : you got it . why do n't you go upstairs and put your shoes on so we can go ? faith : okay . nick : it 's nice to have the little ray of sunshine around , huh ? she always keeps that optimism . summer : she definitely got that from you , dad . noah : yeah , it sounds like you explained what today 's about in just the right way . nick : what was i supposed to say ? that we 're cursed ? sharon : cursed ? nick : sometimes i feel like that . i try not to think about our family in that way . i know how it sounds , but there must be times when you guys feel like that . noah : yeah . only on a regular basis . and i can see how you would get there . first losing cassie , then christian , now sage . grandpa 's in jail . grandma 's drinking again . this family 's in turmoil . summer : okay , noah , every family has its problems , but you have to remember that our family is lucky in a way that other families are n't because of how close we are and -- and because of how loyal we are . look , i mean , after everything , we still love each other . and when there 's a crisis , we band together . and , yes , grandpa might not think so at the moment , but it 's true . it 's what we do , because we are newmans . and i am proud to be a newman . look , i 'm sorry , dad . i really am . but please , just do n't -- do n't talk about there being a family curse , because there 's -- there 's not . nick : [ chuckles ] well , when you 're right , you 're right . will you forgive me ? summer : for -- for what ? nick : i forgot about my original ray of sunshine . luca : mr. hamilton . luca santori . devon : how you doing ? have we met before ? luca : oh , indeed , we have . you remember ? devon : i ... you were at abby and stitch 's wedding with , um ... luca : marisa , uh , my wife at the time . devon : that 's right . um , noah has spoken about you . luca : noah . yeah , um , he and i are old pals . i like him . he 's got a good head on his shoulders . devon : he does n't really care much for you . luca : yeah , no . he does n't . yeah . he 's made that ear on several occasions . look , i ju -- i just wanted to properly introduce myself . i 've been following the medical research you 're funding -- some very promising work . devon : yeah , it is . it is . we , um -- we 've hit a few snags lately , but , uh , it 's set us back a little bit . luca : with such a cutting - edge project , that 's to be expected . i saw the press announcement . i thought your wife handled it beautifully . devon : well , i appreciate that . luca : yeah . devon : um , what is it exactly that you do ? luca : well , i , um -- i came here to head up a joint venture between newman enterprises and my father 's company in europe . that project has concluded , but i found myself quite taken with genoa city . so , i 'm looking for new opportunities here . devon : well , that 's fantastic . well , good luck with that . luca : thank you . i 'm sure we 'll be seeing a lot of each other . lily : please think long and hard about this before you take it any further . abby : i trust my instincts , lily , and if i 'm right , we need to get max some help . lily : and if you 're wrong ? abby : if i 'm wrong , then i accept the consequences , whatever they are . hi . devon : hey . what was that about ? lily : we have a problem . dylan called in his official capacity . devon : what for ? lily : he wants to check the security tapes from the day abby fell . devon : why ? was n't it -- lily : an accident . i know . but abby does n't believe it . she wants the police to investigate . lily : depending on what the police find on those tapes , we could be looking at a major lawsuit . devon : i thought you and cane already checked those tapes after abby fell . lily : we did . it looked like she just tripped . but abby 's having a hard time letting it go . devon : that 's understandable , i guess . i mean ... lily : i mean , if you want , if you agree to it , i 'll turn over everything we have . otherwise -- unless you want to call our lawyer first . devon : no , lily . no need to do that . we need to get to the bottom of this , so just give dylan whatever he needs . lily : okay . you got it . charlie : hey , where 'd you go ? i 've been looking for you . it 's your move . max : checkers is lame . i have an idea for a new game . it 's called robot spies . charlie : how do you play ? max : we have to sneak into the lobby , and you have to swipe the master key card without being caught . it 's to save the world . but if you 're too chicken ... charlie : i am not . luca : i understand your concern , which is why i 'm sharing this information . since victoria took over , newman 's been in free fall . she neglected to shore up the board and lost a major consumer division . it was a careless mistake , but she 's paying the price now , the whole company is . i speak for victor as well as myself when i say your loyalty wo n't be forgotten . victor : you know , i remember the day of the memorial for my grandson christian and how that affected my boy nicholas . he leaned on me as he almost never had before . it broke my heart to see him like that . and now i ca n't be there for him . but you know , you could be . meredith : me ? victor : yeah . you could go to the memorial service . it 's at chancellor park . meredith : victor , that 's -- no . that 's just completely inappropriate . victor : but i 'm not asking you as a , you know , prison employee or as a prison doctor . i just have a feeling that you 're a very compassionate woman . and i 'd just like you to go there and tell my boy that i care about him ... very much , okay ? go there and ... let him know that . i mean , i know that you have not repaired your strained relations with your own father . perhaps you can help me do that with my family . meredith : i am so sorry for your loss , but i - i ca n't get involved in your personal life . [ sighs ] i 'm gon na call a guard and have him escort you back to your cell . victor : okay . meredith : okay . adam : hey . nick : hi . adam : i 'm sorry . nick : yeah . thanks . chelsea : i 'm so sorry . she was an amazing person . she will be missed . nick : hey , uh , i - i know about the phone call . and i do n't want you to blame yourself , you know ? it 's not your fault . adam : well , i really appreciate you saying that to me . thank you . nikki : hi , son . sharon . sharon : nikki . nikki : i was hoping you would have brought sully . dylan : well , he 's still pretty young . nikki : he meant so much to sage . nick : sharon . i just want to thank you for coming , both of you . i know , uh , sage is looking down and she 's smiling right now . if you 'd all like to gather around , we can begin . heavenly father , we ask you for your comfort in this time of loss as we commemorate the life of sage newman . amen . all : amen . anyone who would like to say a few words is welcome to do so . faith , honey , should we start with you ? faith : daddy said it 's okay to be sad . but i do n't think sage would want that . she 'd want us all to think about the good times , like when we were finger painting and we started painting each other 's faces . then we spilled all the paint on the rug . i was so scared i was gon na get in trouble . but then sage said it was a happy mess . [ voice breaking ] that 's what she called our family -- a happy mess . i 'll miss sage a lot . but i know she 's with christian now . he must be so happy to be with his mommy . that 's what we all have to think about -- the two of them together in heaven . mommy , your turn . sharon : oh , sweetie . i could n't have said it any better myself . faith : that 's okay . it does n't have to be perfect . sharon : you know who i 'd like to hear from ? adam . he knew sage better than any of us . nick : yeah , adam . i think you should , uh , say something . adam : yeah . excuse me . sage and i had a , um ... interesting relationship . um ... but it was a friendship , and , um , i very quickly grew to love her as a person . um , it was easy to see her strength . she had a kindness about her , a warmth . nick ... that woman loved you , man . and i hope you never forget that . nick : [ sighs ] uh ... i guess i want to talk about the future . you know , sage is gone . life goes on . and -- and we need to , uh , live life to its fullest . and we need to embrace it . [ voice breaking ] though i do n't have any idea how i 'm supposed to do that . lily : abby 's in a lot of pain . i think she 's just looking for someone other than herself to blame for what happened . and unfortunately , max is it . devon : yeah , i do n't know , though , lily , 'cause abby 's a friend , and she might seem flighty and self - involved sometimes , but i think her instincts on people are -- [ alarm blaring ] lily : oh , my god . devon : i 'll go check it out . lily : where have you been ? were you playing with the fire alarm again ? did either of you have anything to do with this ? do n't look at him , charlie . look at me . i want the truth . luca : i thought you might want an update since our last talk . victor : well , you thought wrong . but let me hear what you have to say . sit down . luca : look , victor , things are bad . and they 're only getting worse . i 've been working hard behind the scenes to reassure the division heads . there 's an ever - growing concern amongst all of them about victoria 's ability to lead the company in your absence . i do n't think she can do it . victor : hmm . luca : now , if you were expecting adam to step in and save the day , it 's clear that wo n't happen . and now that nicholas is out of commission ... meanwhile , you 're in here stirring up trouble , taking shots at victoria , and for what ? games . it 's fruitless . look , if you really want to do a bit of damage to those who 've wronged you , you 're gon na need someone on your side on the inside at newman . victor : you think you 're the one , right ? since you now have a relationship with my granddaughter that i disapprove of strongly . you think you should be the one to take over . i got news for you . and listen carefully . i may be inside these damn prison walls , but i can still pull a lot of strings and make people 's lives miserable . get my drift ? luca : i took a calculated risk coming here . victor : you bet you did . luca : look , somehow , i assumed that your desire to keep your company from crumbling outweighed your contempt for me . no ? victor : that 's the third time you 've been wrong . now , you get out of my face . guard ! nick : you know , everyone keeps coming up to me and telling me how sorry they are for my loss . and your words -- they 're just so polite . what do any of you know about my loss ? you do n't know anything . victoria : faith does n't need to hear any of this . nikki : no , i was thinking the same thing . nick : your so - called kindness -- it 's empty . it does n't mean anything . it 's the way i felt ever since this happened . victoria : nick . come on . come sit down next to me . it 's gon na be okay . nick : no , it 's not gon na be okay . it 's never gon na be okay , because my son is gone ! and i never even got a chance to hold him ! and he 's gone forever ! and it 's all sage wanted was a child of her own , and now she 's gone , too ! and i do n't know how to move on ! sharon : nick . you 're wrong . you 're not alone . [ next_on ] abby : you 're not gon na like hearing this . i think max set that fire . marisa : luca 's only using summer to get his hooks into the newman family . i think you underestimate his ambition . luca : good news or bad ? i do n't think you 're gon na like what i found out . | max overhears lily and devon saying that abby asked dylan to investigate the accident that caused her to lose her baby . max persuades charlie to steal the athletic club 's master key card . max goes into the surveillance camera room and starts a fire . victor asks dr. gates to go to sage 's memorial service and tell nick that he cares about him very much , but the doctor refuses to get involved in victor 's personal life . michael informs adam that he is named in sage 's will , so he must be present at the will reading after the memorial service . victoria confronts nikki about giving her voting proxy to the only board member that is on victor 's side . nikki apologizes to victoria , because she thought that victor might forgive her if she gave him her voting proxy , but she realizes that victor will never forgiver her . dr gates tries to persuade victor to forgive his family , but he insists that they are the reason he is in jail , so they should be asking for his forgiveness . nick has a breakdown at the memorial service and tells everyone he feels alone since he has lost sage and christian . sharon assures him he is n't alone . victor makes it clear to luca that he will never run newman enterprises , because he disapproves of his using summer to get into the newman family . |
billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : hang on . billy : hm ? phyllis : you really ready ? for this relationship ? you and me ? no more lying ? no more sneaking around ? billy : would n't be in the middle of the lion 's den at jabot if i was n't ready , was n't sure . [ sighs ] what about you ? you seem a little ... phyllis : i 'm anxious . i just keep having a flashback of victoria just ... standing there , looking horrified and humiliated . billy : the timing could n't have been worse on that . if those elevator doors had opened up a minute later , maybe ... phyllis : maybe it was n't just bad timing . victoria : this is excellent . good job , cane . cane : okay . you need help with anything else ? victoria : no , i 'm good . cane : okay . victoria : um , the next thing on my agenda is to reschedule the meeting with the lawyers . it got a little hijacked today . cane : all right . well , do you want me to do it for you ? or , better yet , i can and sub at the meeting . victoria : no , no . i 'm -- i 'm fine . i can handle it . cane : i was just thinking that after seeing billy and phyllis like that , it must be hard on you , you know , and maybe you should take some time off . victoria : you know , this is not the first time that billy 's let me down , and it wo n't be the last . cane : okay , then let me ask you , why is it you , you know , keep him around ? victoria : my ultimate motivation is the kids . [ sighs ] they adore their father . cane : okay , so , because he 's a good dad , that 's a reason to let him keep working here ? gloria : [ sighs ] jack : what 's this ? gloria : i have decided to try my hand at a few new ideas for the women 's line . in there , you will find ideas for shades of lipstick , eyeshadow , and ... why so glum ? jack : this is ashley 's area . gloria : i know that , jack , and that is why i 'm bringing it to you first . please , peruse it . evaluate it . and if you like it , maybe you can act as a go- between to get ashley to give me a shot . is that a problem , jack ? ! jack : ashley knows about our relationship . gloria : oh , god . oh , god , that 's awful . jack : hold -- now , hold on . gloria : no , no , no . ashley detests me , and you 're trying to tell me i 'm fired . ashley : you read my mind . abby : hi . ashley : hi . so glad to see you . abby : [ sighs ] ashley : hey , i ran into your dad earlier today , and he said he was very impressed by all the hard work you 've been doing . what 's the matter ? abby : i 've debated on whether i should talk to you about this . um ... ashley : oh , no . what has your father done now ? abby : no , no . this is n't dad . uh ... this is about dina mergeron . your mother . why do n't i know my only living grandparent ? [ scene_break ] devon : so , you knew my grandmother ? dina : oh , very well . katherine and i were dear , dear friends . but then we lost touch . devon : but you must have read ... dina : that katherine had a grandson very late in life , yes . but i did n't expect to find you here ... with neil winters , trying to buy my company . devon : i 'm sure . and we were very blessed to learn the truth several years before katherine passed away , which gave me the chance to spend some quality time with her . and she was always very , very good to me . dina : oh , indeed . devon : yeah , right ? dina : and now you 're going to try and tell me that , uh , katherine took you under her wing , and , uh , taught you all she knew about the business . and that 's why i should trust you . devon : to be honest , in the beginning , i wanted nothing to do with her . gloria : but we 've been so careful . the whole point of our arrangement was to be private . why would you tell ashley ? jack : look , michael and phyllis already knew . how long did you think it would take ashley to find out ? gloria : longer than this ! jack : secrets do n't stay secret , gloria . gloria : yeah . and i do n't stay employed . i 'll go pack up my desk . jack : gloria -- gloria : no , no , no ! your sister hates me . she 's already threatened my job . jack : you honestly think i 'm gon na let her get rid of you ? gloria : do you honestly think she 's gon na give you a choice ? jack : it is my decision to make . you work for me . i told her what good work you 're doing . gloria : you told her that ? jack : yeah , i did n't have to . she 's seen your work . she knows it 's good , regardless how she feels about you . gloria : thank you , jack . i 'll remember that when they 're escorting me out of the building . jack : i just told you -- gloria : oh , that i am in the middle of a power play between you and your sister ! do you honestly think you can win that fight ? after i almost brought jabot down with my tainted cream stunt ? jack : oh , that was years ago . gloria : yeah , and she 's never forgotten that . jack , what 's to stop her from using our mutually beneficial friendship to force you out as c.e.o . and waltz herself right in ? abby : dad 's the one that told me that dina 's selling her company . [ laptop slams ] abby : it must all over the business news . mom ? she 's my grandmother . and you never talk about her . i - i know that you have bad feelings as far as she 's concerned , but -- ashley : yes , i do . she walked out on us . our entire family . abby : yes , and never looked back . i know . ashley : right . abby : and that 's why i 've avoided talking about it all these years . [ sighs ] look ... i get that this is painful . but what if i run into her at some point ? if this is too hard for you , then , um , i can just talk to uncle jack . ashley : abby ... i did n't talk about her because , like any normal child , you would 've wanted to meet your grandma . ashley : well , yeah . ashley : you would 've been disappointed , honey . ashley : maybe . but what 's the risk in a little face time ? when i went to boarding school in europe -- ashley : did she ever reach out to you ? abby : no , but -- ashley : honey , as your mother , i did n't want you to get hurt . i did n't want to take the chance that she would turn her back on you the way she did me . abby : and that 's a foregone conclusion ? mom , you do n't know that she would have . ashley : sweetheart ... she never acknowledged you . i mean , she never acknowledged any of us . and here i have this amazing , beautiful , intelligent daughter . i 'm so proud to be your mother . my mother ... my mother . ... has no room in her life for anybody but herself . not her children . not her grandchildren . just her . and that is exactly who she is . victoria : okay , great . we 'll see you then . uh - huh . bye - bye . cane : hey . here 's the file . okay ? victoria : hey , listen . why would you suggest that i not keep billy at brash & sassy ? cane : you really want to discuss this ? victoria : well , you brought it up earlier , so , yeah , i want to know what you 're thinking . cane : okay . i think that there 's gon na be a change in atmosphere now he 's exposed himself . victoria : exposed himself as what ? a single man who can date whomever he wants on his own time ? cane : okay , in company property during company hours . look [ sighs ] i just do n't want to damage the name of brash & sassy , okay ? i 'm just trying to say that we work in close quarters , and we 're in constant contact , and we have a good thing going . that 's all . victoria : in part due to billy . cane : okay , sure . he 's helped us . but he 's also hurt us , and he 's gon na hurt you . victoria : [ sighs ] i am extremely adept at separating my personal and professional life , cane . cane : okay . but saying and doing is a completely separate thing now he 's embarrassed you like this . victoria : i do n't need to be reminded . cane : yes . i 'm sorry . i just want to let you know that i 'm here for you . if you need me to pick up the slack , i can do that , all right ? i 'm in your corner , okay ? all right ? juliet : did i miss something ? billy : i should 've anticipated this , to be honest . phyllis : what ? billy : [ clears throat ] i knew victoria had a meeting outside of the office . i thought it was later on in the afternoon . i just -- i should 've been more careful . phyllis : something good came out of this , you know . the truth -- the truth is out now , so ... billy : yeah . phyllis : yeah . um ... [ scoffs ] you 've got to feel relieved from all of this . billy : i do . phyllis : okay . billy : i do . i just wish i 'd told victoria sooner , and she did n't find out the way that she did . phyllis : you were being a good guy . you did n't want to ... billy : [ scoffs ] phyllis : ... dump this on her , with her mother being supposedly `` ill , `` whatever that is . billy : [ sighs ] yeah . phyllis : you know what i think ? billy : hm ? phyllis : i think the elevator set us free . billy : almost . phyllis : almost ? billy : well , you 're forgetting this thing right here . phyllis : the door ? billy : the door . what happens when we leave this room , on the other side of that door ? phyllis : jack . billy : jack . ashley . everybody in genoa city . you ready for this ? are we ? are we ready for this ? abby : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to upset you . ashley : i 'm fine . are you gon na stay for dinner ? it 's just uncle jack and me , and you know mrs. martinez always makes so much . abby : [ chuckles ] and it 's always delicious . but , um ... ashley : uh - oh . i sense a rain check coming . ashley : well , now that dad 's back from his trip , i 'd like to be as present and available at the office as possible . ashley : and how are you doing ? are you missing being the acting c.e.o . of newman ? abby : yeah , who would n't ? but i learned a lot about myself through the process . ashley : like what ? abby : i am not afraid to make decisions . ashley : what kind of decisions ? abby : mm . ashley : what ? abby : thank you for always loving and supporting me , mom .

[ cell phone chimes ] abby : [ sighs ] oh , gosh . ashley : what ? abby : just when i was about to cave and stay ... ashley : oh . abby : dad , demanding to know where i am . i got to go , but good to see you . i love you . ashley : i love you , honey . ravi : have a good one . abby : have fun , guys . ashley : [ sighs ] ravi : you okay ? you seem stressed . ashley : oh , i am . very . ravi : [ sighs ] i can help with that . one second . dina : thank you , graham . so , your relationship with katherine was n't particularly warm . devon : no , not at first . dina : well , i 'm surprised you 'd admit that . devon : why not admit everything ? dina : so that i would sell you my company . devon : hey , i mean , that 's not gon na stop you from investigating me . dina : mm . devon : if you do , then you 'll eventually discover everything about me , from who i am to how i plan on running the company . so why should i try and hide anything from you ? dina : oh , that sounds like katherine . devon : [ chuckles ] well , like i said , it was only at first that we did n't get along . she -- she eventually wore me down and taught me some things . dina : mm . what was he like as a child , hm ? [ laughs ] neil : [ laughs ] he was a foster child . dina : oh . neil : had some hard knocks . he was a good kid . my late wife and i , we adopted him . we , uh , assumed that we 'd be enriching his life . and little did we know it would go both ways . devon : mm - hmm . dina : well , the fact that katherine left an immense inheritance to a very young man like you , who she knew such a short time , says a lot about you . devon : well , i - i would be lying if i did n't say , uh , that i struggled with it for a little while . kept me wondering why katherine would have that kind of belief in me . dina : and the answer ? devon : i think i 'm supposed to do something big with the money . i really believe that i 'm supposed to make a phenomenal contribution to the world with it . dina : mm . now , that sounds rehearsed . devon : well , that 's probably because i 've been saying that lot to myself since i nearly died recently . mariah : you 've cut practically all of my segments from the show . hilary : oh , the show was running long . something had to go . mariah : and why deny yourself a second of precious airtime ? hilary : it is `` the hilary hour , `` after all . oh ! thanks . mariah : this is payback , is n't it ? hilary : for ? mariah : do n't make me say it . hilary : say what , mariah ? mariah : you are upset that i 'm dating devon . hilary : [ scoffs ] mariah : and it 's driving you crazy that he took me to top of the tower last night . hilary : okay , do n't be ridiculous . i am fine that you are dating devon . mariah : yeah . sure . hilary : i am dating someone , too . mariah : i know . you flaunt him in front of devon every opportunity you get . hilary : oh , that 's funny . because you all over my ex - husband , that 's not flaunting , right ? mariah : [ scoffs ] you know , for a girl that was on a date with another guy , you seemed to be watching devon and me a lot . hilary : devon might be into you now because he 's on the rebound ... mariah : that 's cute . hilary : ... but he will tire of you soon enough . mariah : an experience you 're no doubt very familiar with . hilary : i know what devon likes . and , honey [ scoffs ] it ai n't you . [ knock on door ] jack : oh , my brother on the jabot floor with my ex - wife . this ca n't be good . gloria : jack is very busy right now . shall i show them out ? billy : it 's not gon na take long . there 's something phyllis and i would like to tell you . phyllis : we wanted you to hear it from us . jack : oh , spare me the platitudes about wanting to be honest with me . that 's what this is about , is n't it ? i just have one question . has this been going on all along ? phyllis : jack , we have n't been hiding anything from you . gloria : ha ! that 's a first . billy : this does n't concern you . phyllis : you need to leave , gloria . gloria : fine . jack : she stays . gloria : ooh ! in that case , i 'll stay . jack : they wo n't be here that long . say what you have to say and leave . phyllis : okay . billy and i are back together . it was unexpected . we did not plan this . jack : well , it certainly explains a lot . your big push to get me to forgive him . your grand admission you had someone in your life , though you could n't tell me who . and here you are , to tell me the real truth . am i supposed to be surprised ? gloria : you should be disgusted . phyllis : you know what , we are all adults , unattached , free to be with whomever we choose to be with . so you should surely agree with that , gloria . gloria : jack and i are n't hurting anybody . phyllis : you need to back off . billy : no , she 's right . people are gon na get hurt . and i 'm sorry about that . i 've apologized to you . i 've asked for your forgiveness . but you do n't want anything to do with it . so i 'll say this -- i 'm done sacrificing my happiness for people that do n't want me to be happy . does n't matter what i do . phyllis and i are done hiding . and this is for real . jack : billy , you could 've saved yourself an elevator ride . you did n't care how i felt when i was married to her . you really expect me to believe you care about my reaction now ? we 're done here . yeah , this is jack abbott . is he in ? yeah , put him on . devon : in an instant , i had wrecked a ridiculously expensive car i had just purchased , and nearly lost my life in the process . dina : well , i 'm awfully glad you 're still alive . devon : yeah , well , me too . dina : [ chuckles ] devon : but , you know , i - i came out of the whole thing with a new mission . neil : including buying already successful companies like yours that we want to take to the next level . devon : that 's absolutely right . and use my grandmother 's bequest wisely , and do something that 's worthwhile that will make a positive difference . dina : well , a noble pursuit , and very well - funded . and as much as i admire your connection with katherine chancellor , i have n't changed my mind about the other offers . neil : that 's understandable . an executive of your stature should review all of your options in their entirety . devon : that 's also why we thought it was important to meet you in person and demonstrate our level of commitment to our plan for mergeron . dina : well , i 'll certainly take that into consideration when i look over your proposal . devon : i appreciate that . do you mind if i ask you a personal question before you go ? dina : ask and we 'll see . devon : why are you selling the company ? dina : i feel it 's the right time . graham : you have an appointment . dina : of course , darling . it 's been a pleasure , gentlemen . neil : yes . pleasure is ours , madam . hilary : thank you . mariah : i think i figured it out . hilary : hm ? mariah : do you know why you feel the need to put down my relationship with devon ? hilary : because it 's doomed to fail . mariah : no . because i think you know how good we are together , and it kills you . hilary : [ scoffs ] honey , it bores me . mariah : no , no . listen . you have this dreamy image of devon forever pining after you , when the truth is he 's too busy hanging out with me and working on his new company to give you even the chintziest of a passing pine . divorcing you gave devon confidence . it gave him focus . just like how he and his dad are focusing on making their first big acquisition . hilary : yeah , the hamilton / winters group . i know all about it . mariah : yeah , they should be in the middle of their meeting now . hilary : good for them . mariah : in paris . yeah , they flew over in devon 's private jet . seems like you missed out on that little bit of buzz . i guess you do n't know all about your ex anymore . victoria : great work sliding that in . juliet : a backhanded product comparison felt better than leading with an attack . cane : all right , what about the next paragraph ? it 's ... victoria : go ahead . finish your thought . cane : i think the word i was looking for is `` intrusive . `` there you go , billy . billy : it 's the latest press release ? victoria : do you think the quote 's too long ? cane : we can always cut the first two words . juliet : mm . but if ... billy : i think we need to tweak the description . cane : why ? why do you say that ? billy : 'cause it 's too flowery . cane : well , the hockey deal is n't the only account we have . billy : yeah , and guys are guys . they 'd rather smell like birch than gardenias . cane : okay , and the goal is to have the women buy the products for the men . billy : same rules apply . juliet , you want your men to smell like roses ? cane : okay , this is not -- victoria : billy 's right . ashley : okay , so please do n't make me say `` om . `` ravi : there are many ways to achieve mindfulness . some people recite mantras . others just listen to the sound of their breath . ashley : yeah , well , my breath is telling me that forced relaxation does not work for me . ravi : that 's 'cause you give up too easy . relaxing your neck and shoulders will help . may i ? ashley : sure . knock yourself out . ravi : back when i was working at my old tech job ... there you go . relax and breathe . ashley : okay . ravi : ... the company offered lunchtime mindfulness training to get their employees to feel less tense , more focused . ashley : i do n't think my mind is calmable , ravi . i really do n't . i mean , as soon as it gets quiet for a second , a thousand thoughts come crashing in . ravi : well , perhaps you have n't had the right instructor . ashley : [ scoffs ] ravi : there you go . no stress . in this moment . letting the thoughts come and go . mariah : the reason why devon is so psyched about this company he 's trying to acquire is because they own the largest music - streaming service in europe . and devon is hoping that he can utilize that for his own music division . plus , the company is , like , off the charts with technology . hilary : fine . okay ? i get it . mariah : and obviously devon was all over that , so he immediately made the offer , and then he and neil flew to paris , and -- hilary : enough ! okay ? that 's good for devon .

[ sighs ] we 're still gon na raise our kids as a team . that 's not gon na change . they 're always gon na be my priority . victoria : yeah . how does phyllis feel about that ? billy : she knows how much i love my children . victoria : yeah , you love them . and you 're welcome to spend as much time with them as you want . billy : but ... ? victoria : but i would appreciate it if you did n't include phyllis in the time that you spend with the kids . at least not at first . i made that mistake with travis . i learned the hard way . it was just ... billy : it 's confusing for them . victoria : yes . billy : i understand . that 's not a problem . victoria : you know , johnny and katherine were getting used to us together as a family , i think . it was nice for them . i hope they 're not too disappointed when they see you alone . billy : we 'll handle it . victoria : all right . well ... i should get back to work . jack : so , what do you think is gon na happen with you and billy ? i mean long- term ? phyllis : if you 're gon na badmouth him , i 'm just ... jack : no , no , no , no , no . i 'm actually asking this . he 's not very good at relationships . i mean , look at his track record . phyllis : well , you know what ? neither am i . hell , take a glance at yours . both of ours are not any better than billy 's . jack : what makes you think it 's gon na be any different this time ? it 's not like he 's changed . he 's still the same screw - up he 's always been . phyllis : maybe so am i . you know , billy and i , we were tested . we broke up . we tried to reunite with our spouses . it did n't work . jack : what we had was broken . i could n't go back . phyllis : i get that . and , you know , even through all of that , billy and i still had strong feelings for one another . we even tried to fight them . jack : victoria know ? phyllis : yeah . it was , uh , painful . you know , and billy still has to work with her . jack : work for her . and do n't think for one second she 's gon na forget that . bet they have some nice meetings down there at brash & sassy . phyllis : it 's gon na be rough for a while , but we 're gon na be able to handle it . jack : if that 's what you need to believe , okay . phyllis : what i need to believe is that you 're gon na be okay with this . jack : i 'm fine . i 'm fine . want to be friends ? we 'll be friends . here , you want to shake on it ? phyllis : i want you to be happy . jack : i am positively bursting with joy . phyllis : no , you 're not . and you never will be ... until you forgive your brother . hilary : now , next , i wanted to talk about something light , like my most recent shopping spree , or how my personal style is evolving . mariah : but , hilary , if you 're trying to keep it real , you need to be honest about why your style is evolving . hilary : [ groans ] mariah : hilary has got a new man in her life , folks . hilary : yes , i do . but we 're still in the `` getting to know you `` stage , so ... mariah : as your friend , i hope that 's true . hilary : well , why would n't it be ? mariah : well , i mean , you could be really interested in this guy ... hilary : i am . mariah : ... or you could be rebounding after your divorce . hilary : [ sighs ] i am -- i am completely over my ex - husband , and i am pressing forward with this very exciting new man . it 's for real . there is life after divorce . mariah : [ chuckles ] for hilary 's sake , i hope that 's true . hilary : [ chuckles ] let 's keep this between you and me . now , mariah thinks that she is on the road to romance . but in reality , the guy that she 's into [ inhales sharply ] has her stuck squarely in the friend zone . oops ! [ both chuckle ] neil : what are you thinking ? devon : we gave it our best shot , but i just -- i do n't think that dina 's gon na accept the offer . neil : and why is that ? because she has interest in other companies ? of course she does . we knew that going in . devon : i know , but it 's ... neil : look at me , son . we 're not giving up until we hear a definitive no . i believe in giving these things time . jack : scotch . single malt . neat . cane : rough day , huh , jack ? jack : my brother and my ex - wife are reuniting . cane : oh . so i heard . jack : well , i guess they were kind enough to tell me to my face . cane : well , that 's generous of them , is n't it ? so , what did you say ? jack : `` have a great life . do n't trip on your way out . `` cane : [ chuckles ] jack : phyllis and i are divorced . she can do whatever she wants . cane : yeah ? what about billy ? jack : billy and i were barely talking . nothing 's changed there . cane : you know , it 's funny . jill bought brash & sassy in the hopes it would help victoria and billy reunite . jack : i kind of thought they were getting closer , too . cane : so did i . until , uh , billy ... jack : until billy screwed it up . cane : mm - hmm . jack : as he always does . cane : i would love to wipe that smug look off his face . jack : what 's he done to you ? cane : lately ? well , i go to japan , and i close this huge distribution deal , which victoria 's thrilled with . and then he closes a hockey deal , which i do n't mind , 'cause whatever works for the company works for me . except -- jack : only billy had to rub it in your face . cane : 'cause that 's what he does . jack : that 's what he does . cane : yeah . jack : for what it 's worth , he got that hockey deal playing dirty . cane : really ? you know , you would think that he would have the decency to quit so that victoria was not forced to work with him . jack : in the very building in which he will flaunt his relationship with phyllis . cane : how is a fledgling company like brash & sassy supposed to thrive in a situation like that ? jack : it wo n't , as long as billy 's on board . dina : well , it 's a generous offer , massimo . and i 'll definitely take it under consideration .

[ next_on ] victor : ought to tell you , then , there 's going to be no book . mariah : i do n't want to be late . hilary : for what ? mariah : just a ride with devon on his private jet . jordan : so , we 're agreeing to not letting anyone know about our ... former friendship ? | billy and phyllis share a kiss and hug right before phyllis asks him if he is ready for this . after a few more minutes of discussing victoria and her reaction to their kissing , billy asks if she is ready to tell jack . gloria walks into jack 's office with ideas for a new cosmetics line . jack reminds her that ashley is in charge of cosmetics . gloria realizes that she might as well as clear out her desk before ashley would acknowledge her as part of this company . jack tells her that he told ashley that gloria was doing a fine job here . jack also tells her that he told ashley about them , making gloria angry . devon and neil meet with dina mergeron on the plane as they discuss katherine chancellor being devon 's grandmother . abby visits ashley at jack 's and asks why she had never mentioned her grandmother 's name . ashley stalls in giving abby an answer . gloria thanks jack for his support but knows that it wo n't last with ashley . ashley is hesitant to tell abby about her grandmother but then tells her that her mother was out for herself and only herself . victoria commends cane on his work for brash and sassy . cane asks her why she would keep billy on staff . victoria asks why he would n't want billy to work there . they are interrupted by juliet , who notices a camaraderie between cane and victoria . phyllis tells billy that she should feel relieved that victoria knows but now comes the part of telling jack . neil and devon tell dina about katherine leaving devon her entire estate . dina is surprised . |

i gave that woman a taste of her own medicine . i told her how traumatized cassie 's been , being abandoned by her mother . nikki : yeah , her very selfish mother . victoria : i kind of let it slip that cassie was upstairs asleep in her bedroom . nikki : oh , victoria , my god -- victoria : no , no , she did not see cassie . i practically had to throw myself in front of her to keep her from charging up there , but she did not see cassie . nikki : this time . there 'll be a next time . she 'll be back . victoria : if she has n't already gone straight to nicholas . tv noah : you should n't talk that way about mommy . cassie : you do n't believe me , but she 's been gone a long time . you know , she did n't even come back when i was in the hospital . noah : she did n't know , cassie . she 's coming back . she will . cassie : no , she won't . if she loved us , she 'd be here . noah : she told me she loved me in her letter , and she said it in yours , too . cassie : you know what ?

those days are gone . i 've turned over a new leaf . oh , yeah . ha . well , except for one little problem , right , mikey , that nasty little secret from your past ? michael : that 's the one thing that 's keeping me from having a clear conscience , the one thing that 's keeping me from having the -- the honest relationship christine deserves . mm - hmm . that , uh , connection between you and isabella , that - that could really screw things up if you were to , say , tell christine . how can i keep that from her ? ( laughs ) you kill me sometimes . you 're such a moron . ( laughs ) michael : you 're serious ? oh , comen , n , do n't tell me you think that old saw about confession being good for the soul really works . give me a break . i do n't want any secrets between us . oh , get real ! every relationship with a woman is based on secrets . you know , a little white lie , what harm could that do ? but , you - you let this bad boy out ... ( makes crashing sound ) crash and burn , baby . i know there is a risk in telling christine the truth , but if i do n't come clean , i wo n't have the marriage i want . you come clean , buddy , and you wo n't have a marriage , period . michael : aw . you focus on two things , first , how much you desire the delectable christine and how she 'll be all yours from tomorrow on , only if you keep your mouth shut . if you do n't , forget it . chris : hey , why so serious ? what 's going on in that head of yours ? nick : come here , buddy . nick : now i want you to listen to me , okay ? your sister was n't lying . noah : you mean , what she 's saying is true ? nick : well , i can understand why she thinks that 's true , but your mother loves you very much . i know she does . noah : cassie 's saying she 's never coming back . nick : well , i got ta be honest , that 's a possibility . noah : we need her . nick : buddy , i know you do . noah : cassie says i should n't think about her . nick : well , that would be pretty impossible , now would n't it ? cassie : but , dad , it hurts to think about her . that 's just how i feel . nick : but you ca n't put her outta your mind , can you ? look , sweetheart , i know what you 're going through . i do . you would n't be having these nightmares if your mother did n't still mean something to you . the reason you 're so scared is that you 're frightened of the chance that she may never come back . cassie : i just do n't understand how she could do this to us . nick : i know . it -- your mom 's got some problems right now . noah : what kind of problems ? nick : well , i ca n't get into it . i know how much you hate hearing this , you guys , but it 's grown - up stuff . noah : will she get better ? cassie : we do n't know that . we do n't know anything except that she 's gone . noah : but she wrote us letters . cassie : she did n't write dad one . nick : you know what ? that 's not important what is important is that we have each other , and that means that we got ta stick together . look , guys , i - i need your help , okay ? the last thing our little family needs right now is for us to be fighting with each other . so what do you say , you guys with me ? noah : i love you , daddy . nick : i love you , too , buddy , more than you know . nick : you too , kiddo . cassie : i love you . nick : come here . lynne : paul , did you hear what i said ? paul : yeah , they 're eloping . i heard . lynne : you know what i think ?

michael : well , uh , i thought we would toast the moment , and , uh , you could choose a restaurant . later , we could hit the town . i ca n't vouch for the nightlife since i 've never been in galena before , but i -- chris : you know what ?

michael : you . entering austin 's apartment building . sharon : no , i - i went there when he interviewed me . i -- no ! no , no , this is going to make me look even more guilty ! noah : no , mom , listen , mom , kevin found out that the photo was doctored , okay ? the time - stamp had been altered . sharon : someone 's trying to set me up . michael : you know what ? before dylan left for chicago , he told me he was taking that photo to paul . sharon : why did n't you tell me that ? michael : there was nothing to tell . sharon : what do you mean , there was nothing to tell ? between this and the latex evidence , i may even be cleared before i even go to trial . this nightmare will be behind me ! michael : sharon , slow down . sharon , listen to me . paul is looking at the evidence . this is not a done deal . nick : faith , you know it 's not okay for you to be rude to people . faith : i 'm sorry . nick : well , you need to say that to sage . faith : i 'm sorry , sage . sage : that 's okay , honey . this is your time with your dad . nick : well , you can share me for a couple of minutes , right ? faith : is n't it time for me to leave ? nick : well , you still have time for one of my special milkshakes . faith : no , thanks . nick : what ? double chocolate ... secret ingredient . sage : faith , i never told you how beautiful you look . did you pick that outfit out yourself ? faith : my mama bought it for me . sage : she has really good taste . faith : i know . why are you here ? nick : faith -- faith : i thought you were n't going to see her anymore . nick : well , sage works here now . she 's an employee . like mariah . faith : is that all ? abby : you know , you did n't have to say that you have feelings for me , just because i made a fool of myself in front of my mom . stitch : hey , you did n't make a fool of yourself . abby : what do you call blurting out that what you and i have is n't just a fling ? that my feelings for you are real and deep and meaningful ? stitch : i call it being honest . abby : yeah , and that 's totally mortifying ! and then victoria walks in and accuses us of being unprofessional in the workplace . stitch : you 're making way too big a deal out of this . abby : i 'm sure my mom made a huge deal of it after i left . stitch : yeah , she weighed in on it , but she was on your side . abby : no , no ! that means she guilted you into saying that you have feelings for me . stitch : no , she did n't -- abby : oh , my gosh , a pity declaration of love . stitch : no , abby -- abby : i am pathetic . how many times have i jumped into bed thinking that it 's gon na be a real relationship ? stitch : i -- abby : five ? ten times ? i do n't even know . i 've lost count . i am a slut , plain and simple . and you ? you are a good , honest , decent , honorable guy , and you 're so cute , and i ca n't believe that you would want to -- stitch : okay , abby , shut up ! okay ? i 'm none of those things . kelly : these are yummy . you want one ? jack : you know i do . kelly : hello ? manners , jack . jack : please . kelly : see ? see how easy things can be when you just do what i say ? jack : [ spits ] no ! i wo n't . kelly : hey ! that was rude ! jack : i 'm not gon na let you break me . kelly : i 'm not trying to break you , jack -- i love you . jack : this is n't love . you call this love ? this is demented . you are demented . kelly : do n't you say that to me ! jack : i 'm not gon na play this game with you , kelly . i 'm not gon na play it . kelly : fine . have it your way . you want to be alone , mister ? you can be alone , completely and utterly alone . no food . no water . nobody ! jack : no , wait , wait , wait , wait . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean what i said . kelly : what are we gon na do with you ? jack : yes , of course , i remember what happened at the underground that night , yes . phyllis : you do remember what you told me under the rubble . jack : every word of it . victor : i 'm sorry , i just could n't help but overhear you talking about the re- opening of nick 's underground . phyllis : yeah , i was saying that it 's gon na be a little bittersweet , going back to the place where we all almost died . but apparently , jack does n't feel the same way . victor : well , you know , i think jack will agree , we all have different ways of dealing with trauma like that . jack : victor 's right . i cope by not dwelling on the past . i 'm sorry if i was insensitive to your feelings , though . i 'd just like to focus on the future . phyllis : you 're right . we should . that 's what nick 's party is all about , right ? jack : that 's right , new birth , new beginnings . phyllis : [ chuckles ] victor : that 's the spirit . phyllis : you 're gon na be there tonight , right , supporting nick ? victor : oh , yeah , sure . of course . phyllis : well , good . well , i got to get ready for this big party . i 'll see you later . victor . victor : nice to see you . will you sit down ? why are n't you at work ? jack : you know what they say -- all work and no play ... victor : you get back to the office and you act like jack abbott , you got that ? jack : do n't worry , vic . i got this handled . victor : you arrogant jackass ! you do not undo what i have worked so hard to build up . you get it ? you start exactly doing what i tell you to do . kyle : where do you get off talking to my dad like that , victor ? jack : kyle , take it easy . kyle : you think you can boss anyone around -- jack : kyle , victor and i were simply working through the kinks of our new business arrangement . victor : exactly . we 're trying to make sure that the merger really succeeds . kyle : oh , see , i 'd really like to believe that , victor , but i 've worked for you . in your universe , there 's only one boss . jack : no , wait , you 're overreacting , son . what you overheard was a difference of opinion . victor : jack , kyle , wait , wait , wait , wait . kyle is far too intelligent for that explanation , okay ? you 're right . i have treated your father with disrespect . jack : i 'll do whatever you want . just do n't go . kelly : sorry to make you suffer like this , jack , but you really do n't give me a choice . jack : you do n't have to apologize . i should apologize . i 'm sorry . i did n't mean those things . i did n't mean what i said . kelly : i know . i guess all relationships go through rough spots , even the best ones . jack : that 's right . that 's all we 're going through . kelly : we just have to work through these little bumps in the road , because that 's what makes us as a couple . it makes us -- makes us better and stronger . jack : yeah . where do we go from here ? kelly : well , clearly , we have to resolve this . jack : how ? kelly : how about the old - fashioned way ? [ laughs ] i 'm just kidding . i 'm talking about a letter . you need to write me a letter telling me how you feel -- a love letter . jack : a love letter ? kelly : yes ! i need you to know that you love me , jack . i need to believe that you 're committed to me . just me . stitch : i am not the saint you 're making me out to be , okay ? everybody makes mistakes . abby : yeah , but you were in a committed relationship for years . you loved your wife , you did n't cheat on her , and your son meant everything to you . stitch : he still does . abby : see , that 's what i 'm talking about . you 're ... dedicated and devoted . you 're loyal and honest , the true blue . stitch : only one problem . all those years while i was being that `` devoted husband and dad , `` i was living a lie . and it cost me . it cost me when kelly told jenna that i 'd killed my dad . abby : yeah , but if your ex - wife knew the truth -- stitch : and whose fault was it that she did n't ? mine . i screwed up . and then -- and then i screwed up worse when i got drunk and hooked up with victoria , who was fighting to keep her family together . abby : billy blew up his family , not you . stitch : but i have to take full responsibility for what happened with ashley . and then i get involved with you ... what , five minutes after i victoria and i break up ? abby : it was at least an hour . stitch : [ scoffs ] all i 'm saying is three women in less than a year . i 'm not that true - blue good guy you think i am . abby : well , when you put it that way , you 're right . you 're a straight - up man whore . stitch : [ laughs ] abby : [ laughs ] nick : did you figure out the secret ingredient ? faith : uh ... peanut butter ? nick : oh , nailed it ! you 're too good ! faith : [ giggles ] daddy ? nick : yeah ? faith : if she works for you , does that mean you 're only going to see each other here ? mariah : uh , hey , short stuff . is n't your ride supposed to be here by now ? nick : oh , for sure . amy was supposed to pick you up . i bet she 's outside waiting for you . i 'll take you out . mariah : no , no , no , i 'll take her . nick : okay . thanks . mariah : sure . nick : hey , i will come in and give you a kiss tonight when i get home . faith : okay . i love you , daddy . nick : love you . mariah : you know , it 's a good thing that you 're not driving , because peanut butter milkshakes go straight to your head . faith : [ giggles ] nick : you look beautiful tonight . sage : thanks . nick : i 'm sorry about that . sage : she 's afraid she might lose her mom . she does n't want to lose you , too . i think seeing us together makes her think that might happen . nick : i 'm sorry you 're hurt by this . kevin : hey , nick , have you heard the latest news ? nick : what news ? kevin : about sharon . michael : listen to me . this is not a done deal . noah : now , paul can not ignore all the evidence that my mom is being framed . he ca n't . sharon : all the evidence ? is there more ? noah , tell me ! noah : the hard drive that the photo was on -- it was stolen . so was austin 's laptop . sharon : okay , well , they know i did n't steal it , because i 've been here under house arrest . oh , my god , how much evidence does paul need before he 's gon na re - open this case ? noah : well , i heard that he 's close . michael : heard from who ? noah : a reliable source . michael : a source named kevin ? noah : reliable and anonymous . michael : now , see , this -- this is exactly why i did n't want to tell you anything . i did n't want you getting your hopes up based on rumors and speculation . sharon : well , it 's all good news , michael , even if it is n't definite yet . michael : i 'm going to call paul and see if there have been any updates . sharon : noah , this could be it ! noah : okay , okay , mom , you know what ? michael 's right . we do n't want to get our hopes too high until you are cleared , okay ? and then we do still have to find the killer . sharon : yes , of course we do , but i 'm just happy that you believe that it was n't me . noah : of course -- i should 've known that you could never hurt courtney . come on . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry that i could have doubted you . sharon : it 's okay . you believe me now . noah : i do . sharon : that 's what matters . noah : i do . sharon : [ sighs ] hey , what about your dad ? does he know about all this ? nick : noah said you may have found some evidence that proves sharon was framed . kevin : unfortunately , the only hard drive that has the evidence that could prove that and austin 's laptop are both missing . nick : what does paul say about that ? kevin : i do n't know for sure , but word is he 's thinking of dropping the charges against sharon and re - opening both cases . nick : how do you -- kevin : do n't ask me how i know that . nick : so sharon really could be innocent . mariah : do n't sound so surprised , nick . people might think you 're disappointed . nick : the charges have n't been dropped . mariah : if it were up to you and your dad , they never would be . sharon would get locked up , and then you guys could just spend the rest of your lives pretending that faith was made from fairy dust and newman dna . kevin : all right , take it easy -- nobody wants to see sharon convicted of a crime that she did n't commit . mariah : you know what 's really pathetic , is that the newmans are so quick to hate on sharon , they 're oblivious to what her innocence could mean -- that austin and courtney 's killer is still out there . summer : [ sighs ] i was in the middle of class , mom . phyllis : yeah , well , downward dog really was n't working for ya . summer : what do you want ? phyllis : the truth . is everything okay between you and kyle ? summer : [ sighs ] no . phyllis : okay . summer : not really . phyllis : well , what 's going on ? come on , you can talk to me . summer : i do n't know . kyle 's just changed since the last time i saw him . phyllis : i thought you two were getting along . summer : yeah , we -- we were . i mean , he was really great after austin died . phyllis : but ... ? summer : i do n't know -- now i 'm starting to see a new side of him that i 've never seen before or -- or i never noticed it . i do n't know -- he - he invited me here for dinner the other night , and i thought , `` great , `` you know , `` dinner at the club with kyle . `` and i show up , and he 's flown in a chef from new york , and he 's hired a musician to serenade me , and then he shipped in a bottle of champagne from france ! i -- phyllis : yeah . i heard . it does n't sound so horrible . summer : no , it was n't bad . it was just was n't kyle . you know , i just kept looking at him across the table from me , thinking , `` who are you , and what have you done with the guy i used to know ? `` phyllis : that 's funny . i 've actually been feeling the same way about jack lately . you know , i thought maybe it was because of the building collapse , coming so close to death . summer : well , yeah , that can change a person . phyllis : well , he 's definitely different , that 's for sure . summer : different how ? phyllis : he 's carefree , he 's spontaneous , he 's passionate . does n't care about work the way he used to . summer : kyle does n't care about anything . he used sit there and tell me that he wanted to be his own man and to make his own life , not depend on the abbott name , but now it seems like all that is gone . phyllis : that is not gone . things are just different than you thought they 'd be . kyle was your first love , and you never got to be with him . so , you 've built up this image in your head of what it was gon na be like when you were together , and now the reality is n't living up to the fantasy . it rarely does . relationships are complicated . people are complicated , constantly changing , and you have to find a way to deal with that . summer : what if i ca n't ? phyllis : oh , you can , because you 're gon na hang in there . and i promise you , you will have your happily ever after , just like i did with jack . [ chain rattles ] kelly : how 's it going ? jack : i 'm done . kelly : oh , are you sure ? i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to rush you . i mean , writing something deep and meaningful takes time . jack : well , when you write from your heart , it does n't . and that 's what i did . kelly : oh , i ca n't wait to read it . can i read it ? jack : here . kelly : `` my darling , for too long i 've tried to deny the truth . but no more . the pain of our being apart has been more than i can bear . you 're my one . my only . my heart and soul ... `` jack : `` ... everything i ever dreamed of , everything i ever wanted , i 've found in you . i long to have you in my arms again , for our bodies to be one . i will love you till my dying breath ... and beyond . i 'm yours forever . `` kelly : that 's just the most beautiful thing that i 've ever heard . jack : i meant every word i said . kelly : only a man who was truly in love could write something with such passion . jack : i am in love , kelly . i am . kelly : oh ! i love you . i love you , too . mmm . [ groans ] [ screams ] [ screaming ] [ gasping ] you liar ! you lied ! jack : no . no , that 's not the truth . i said i was in love . i am . with phyllis . kelly : you bastard ! [ sobbing ] jack : you 'd have to be insane to think it was you . kelly : you realize you just screwed us both , jack ! i 'm the only one who knows where you are ! [ laughing ] you kill me ... you 've killed us both ! victor : you know , kyle , old habits die hard . i 'm used to being in charge , you know , and your dad , you 're quite right , deserves to be treated with respect . kyle : yes , i agree . victor : i mean , do you know how courageous it was on his part to agree upon a business relationship with me , an old enemy , in the face of enormous opposition from his entire family ? my goodness . kyle : i think uncle billy and aunt ashley were right to be concerned about this merger . victor : well , i can assure you that our partnership will be in the best interest of everyone concerned . right , jack ? and i shall treat your dad with respect . ca n't guarantee it , but ... my apologies . jack : apology accepted . victor : see you at the office ? jack : righty - o . victor : all right . kyle : uh ... what the hell ? victor newman does not apologize . jack : i keep telling you , victor has changed . kyle : [ scoffs ] right , well , just be careful , dad . if another building falls on him , he might change back . jack : sit down . i want to hear how it went with summer . kyle : oh , summer . well , it did n't . she would n't even talk to me . she was too busy trying to find her `` happy place , `` which apparently does n't involve me . jack : well , sorry . but you know what ? you 're young . you have a lot of abbott good looks . kyle : [ scoffs ] jack : you 're healthy . look , if summer does n't appreciate what you have to offer , there are other women out there who ... kyle : what do you mean , dad ? what are you suggesting ? jack : i think you know where i 'm heading with this . underground is re - opening tonight . any number of people to meet . women who , well , might be interested in what you have to offer . kyle : [ laughs ] lay on the abbott charm , huh ? jack : if you need help , i 'll also be there . kyle : ah . yeah , no offense , dad , but , uh , i do n't think hanging with you would really up my street cred with the women . jack : yeah , maybe arriving with a ferrari would . kyle : you 're -- wait , you 're really gon na give me your car ? after the way i drove it last time ? jack : well , just to make sure you drive safely , i 'll be riding shotgun . kyle : all right , i can live with that . oh , but if we do drive past any hot girls , duck down . jack : oh , i 'll be sure to do that . come on , let 's go ! [ chuckles ] stitch : you know , i meant what i said earlier . i think we could have something really good . abby : yeah . i 'm a slut . you 're a man - whore . we 're perfect for each other . [ both chuckling ] stitch : yeah , hey , look , we 've both made mistakes . but it 's time to put the past in the past . no more hiding . no more apologies . abby : so , just go out and tell the world that we 're a couple ? stitch : uh ... you 're not afraid , are you ? abby : of negative public reaction ? me ? no . i live for it . we could take out a billboard . stitch : i was thinking of something a little more low - key . abby : what were you thinking ? stitch : the underground re - opening party is tonight . abby : okay . i 'm game . but i got ta warn you , there might be some people there that 'll give us a hard time . stitch : and if they do , then we take the high road and not react . abby : sure . yeah , do n't -- do n't react . i do that all the time . yeah . you might want to wear some protective gear , just in case . stitch : mm . abby : let 's get out of here . stitch : you might be right . phyllis : `` heading to underground with kyle . see you there , beautiful . `` summer : jack called you `` beautiful . `` that 's so cute . phyllis : yeah . summer : well , jack might have changed , but he still loves you . phyllis : and i love him very much . summer : well , then , go ! go have fun . phyllis : you know what ? why do n't you come with me ? summer : no , no , i really do n't want to . phyllis : oh , come on , i know you want to support your dad . summer : yeah , i do , but i just -- phyllis : honey , i 'll buy you a dress . no price limit . summer : [ laughs ] are you bribing me ? phyllis : yeah , if it 's working . summer : a little bit . [ chuckles ] no , i mean , i do want to go . um ... i do , i just -- i ca n't go . it 's just gon na be too weird for me with kyle there . phyllis : honey , you have been through a lot lately , but if you want to reclaim your life , you 're gon na have to take some risks . sometimes big ones . because if you do n't , you will never get what you want . summer : [ sighs ] jack : kelly , hang in there ! you need -- i need the key for the handcuffs . kelly : no . jack : i 'm our only way out of here ! kelly : you 'll leave me . jack : no , no , i wo n't . i 'll get you help . i 'll come back and help you . i need the key to the handcuffs . kelly : jack . jack : kelly -- kelly ! oh , come -- kelly -- the key . [ grunting ] [ grunts ] sharon : there 's a good chance the charges against me are going to be dropped . your father is re - opening his club tonight . finally , good things are happening for our family ! noah : our family ? sharon : well , yeah . i mean , i know nick and i are n't together , but i 'll always consider him family . and want the best for him . noah : he wants that for you , too . sharon : i wish i could be there tonight . i know how important it is for him to re - open the club . noah : mm - hmm . yeah , hopefully it takes away some of the pain that was caused from the collapse , huh ? sharon : will you tell him i 'm sending my best ? noah : sure . sharon : and let me know if you hear anything more about my case . noah : i will , but like michael said , we 're not out of danger yet . sharon : no , but we 're close . noah , i can feel it . noah : [ smooches ] sharon : bye . noah : i 'll see you later . [ door opens , closes ] sharon : michael , did you talk to paul ? michael : oh , he 's not in . i left a message . sharon : you -- you look exhausted . maybe you should take a little rest for a while . and i 'll go upstairs , and i 'll do the same . michael : okay , yeah , yeah , close my eyes for a few minutes . sharon : yeah , okay . i 'll come back down in a while , and we 'll order dinner . michael : it 's a deal . [ sighs ] sharon : i forgot -- sage : that 's really good news about sharon . you must be really happy . nick : yeah , i 'm thrilled for noah and faith . sage : of course . nick : could we , uh -- sage : i wanted to talk to you about faith -- i think it 's probably best if we stay away from each other for a while . i want to work here really badly , but i just -- i feel like , with everything how it is , you know , that i should n't be here . nick : um ... you know , i 'm just , i 'm sorry about everything . it 's just , faith has been through so much . sage : yeah , you do n't have to explain , nick . nick : can we , uh ... can we just not make any final decisions about anything ? just give me some time to sort stuff out with faith . sage : you have to put your daughter first . you would n't be the man you are if you did n't . nick : will you wait ? sage : i 'm not going anywhere . jack : [ breathing heavily ] [ grunts ] where 's the key ? where 's the -- no key . kyle : you know , you 're pretty close to being the perfect dad right about now . jack : all it took was a $ 400,000 car . kyle : [ laughs ] come on , dad , it 's -- it 's more than that . jack : you know what ? we ought to get you one of these of your own . kyle : okay , that may be the most awesome thing that you 've ever said to me . [ cell phone rings ] jack : uh - uh - uh -- eyes on the road . kyle : but it might be summer . she might 've changed her mind about tonight . jack : uh , no name . do you want me to answer it ? kyle : never pass up the unknown .

[ fire alarm blaring ] lily : charlie , this is serious . answer me . did you pull the alarm like you did at the coffeehouse ? did you ? ! stitch : hey ! should we be evacuating ? lily : no . the kids pulled another prank with the alarm . devon : hey , guys , guys ! this is not a joke ! there 's a real fire downstairs . let 's go . everybody out . stitch : let 's go . nick : sharon , what are you saying ? my wife and son are both dead . what could you possibly do to make that any better ? sharon : by telling you the truth . dylan : sharon . you okay ? sharon : yeah , i 'm fine . i just need nick to know that he ca n't talk like he 's lost everything , because the truth is .. the truth is ... everyone here is here to comfort you . you 're not alone , nick . your family , your friends , your children -- they 're all here for you , everyone in this park . you may feel like you 're alone , but you 're never going to be alone . victoria : she 's right about that . noah : she absolutely is . summer : we 're all here for you , dad . we love you . devon : thank you for getting here so quickly . we appreciate it . max : is the fire really out ? stitch : it is . that 's why the firemen let you back in . lily : did it start in the kitchen ? devon : no , it was in the server room . stitch : devon and i worked with the guard and managed to put it out with fire extinguishers . we 'll make sure everything 's secure , mr. hamilton . we 'll figure out how the fire started . devon : i really appreciate that . thank you . and , william , make sure that these guys get anything they need . lily : were you scared ? everything 's gon na be fine now , okay ? max : i think you should say sorry to me and charlie . stitch : max , mind your manners , boy . max : we did n't do anything . stitch : not this time , but after what you pulled at the coffeehouse , lily had good reason to question you and charlie . max : she hates me , just like abby . stitch : all right . come on . let 's go talk this out . devon : charlie , you seem awfully quiet . are you okay ? charlie : yeah . lily : are you sure ? because you seem upset , and i have a feeling that there 's something you 're not telling me . we leave sage safely in your arms , lord . please send your healing comfort to those she loved . god bless you all . victoria : thank you for the beautiful service , reverend . i will keep your family in my prayers . victoria : thank you . summer : hey , dad . is there anything you need for me to do ? nick : i just want to get out of here . summer : okay . i 'm gon na let aunt victoria know . noah : i love you , dad . nick : i love you , buddy . summer : is there anything you want me to do to help you wrap this up ? victoria : no . everything 's been handled , but thank you for offering . i appreciate it . summer : yeah . michael : so , i 'll see you later , unless you 've changed your mind about doing it so soon . summer : wait , wh - what 's happening ? victoria : the reading of sage 's will . summer : you 're gon na do that today ? victoria : i checked with your dad . he just wants to get it over and done . michael : your office ? victoria : yeah . um , unless nick wants to call it off . i 'm just following his lead . michael : hey . i think sharon was right . he 's got an incredible family standing behind him . victoria : thank you . summer : bye . adam : what are you doing here ? meredith : it 's nice to see you , too , mr. newman . your father could n't be here today , so he asked me to come in his place . adam : my father sent you ? victoria : and just who the hell are you ? [ slams table ] luca : you found no dirt at all on victoria newman . look , i 'm not paying you to discover that she spends most of her time at the office or at her house or with her kids , all right ? i could have told you that , rodney . rodney : there 's that dive bar she goes to sometimes . luca : yeah , hank 's . that looked promising , but instead you sat outside and waited instead of following her in to the bar . now we got no idea what she was doing in there . yeah , she could have been slumming it and grabbing a drink , but what if she was meeting with someone ? rodney : my instructions were to just -- luca : no , no , no . i 'm revising your instructions , all right ? listen carefully . next time , go inside , see if she talks to anyone , and then get close enough to hear what gets said , all right ? easy enough . do the job right or i 'll find someone who can . rodney : maybe if i knew what you were looking for . luca : everyone has a weak spot , rodney , okay ? i make it my business to find out what it is and how best to use it to my advantage . victor : there 's no need to tell me about luca santori . i know everything about him . marisa : okay . did you know that luca is sleeping with summer ? victor : that 'll be over with soon . marisa : maybe . but it 's not just some fling . luca is manipulating your granddaughter the same way he manipulated me . victor : why did you come to tell me that ? marisa : because you can stop him . luca 's only using summer to get his hooks into the newman family . i think you underestimate his ambition . he wants to sit in your chair , victor . victor : i got news for you . a lot of people want to sit in my chair . let them try . good luck to them . adam : ladies , this is , uh , dr . meredith gates . she 's the staff doctor at walworth . summer : you work at the prison ? i - is grandpa sick again ? meredith : oh , no , no , no . no . victor 's doing really well . victoria : well enough to send you to do his bidding . meredith : well , that 's a really interesting way of putting it . victoria : well , what do you have for us , doctor ? meredith : i - i do n't know how -- victoria : you must have some personal insight that you 'd like to share about my father . you would n't have just come here to observe and walk away , would you ? meredith : victor asked me to talk to his family , to all of you , on his behalf . um , but i can see that maybe right now is probably not the best time to do that . summer : no , no . we -- we have time . adam : yeah , no . we have plenty of time . what did he want you to , uh , say to us ? meredith : well , he talks about you all so much i feel like i know you . he loves all of you , and he is really hoping that he can repair his relationships with you . chelsea : this is victor newman you 're talking about ? meredith : yeah , i know . he acts strong , but he ... victoria : please , do n't stop now . dad is strong , but ... ? meredith : you broke his heart . victoria : he broke ours . and he continues to do so with all the stunts that he 's pulled . he probably did n't fill you in on any of those gory details , did he ? adam : no . 'cause the story he told was just his side of the story . meredith : granted . everything i know is only because of what victor told me . but i do know this . he really is looking for your forgiveness , and if you can do that , then maybe this family can start to heal . lily : charlie , you know you can always be honest with me . devon : well , you know , i hate to break it to you , lily , but there are some things that guys will never tell their moms , right , charlie ? charlie : yeah . devon : but those also happen to be things that you can tell your uncle , 'cause i do n't know anybody cooler than me . lily : all right . i 'll leave you two alone for a little man chat . charlie : no . it 's okay . it was just scary and everything -- the fire alarm , the firemen . lily : and that 's it ? charlie : yeah . i 'm thirsty . stitch : lily does n't hate you . max : she does . stitch : max . max : she acted nice but she 's still mad about charlie pulling the fire alarm before . she blames me . stitch : look , that 's not true . everyone knows you 're a good kid . max : not everyone . abby : hey . i saw the fire trucks outside . is everyone okay ? stitch : it was a small fire , okay ? no big deal . devon : so , did you guys find out how the fire was started ? we 're still working on that . lily : and the server room ? it 's been severely damaged . any information on those servers was destroyed . devon : that 's great . our insurance carrier 's gon na love that . abby : [ sighs ] dylan , hey . it 's abby . i 'm so sorry to call you today , but , um , give me a call when you get this . um , actually , better yet , meet me at the athletic club . i 'll explain when you get here . and please , hurry . stitch : hey . you 're all worked up . abby : um , a little . yeah . stitch : well , i -- [ chuckles ] do n't worry . max and i were n't in any real danger . abby : that 's good . stitch : but that 's not what 's bothering you , is it ? hey . talk to me . abby : you 're not gon na like hearing this . i think max set that fire . marisa : you 're obviously not taking me seriously . do you not care that luca is actively plotting against you and using someone you love to do it ? victor : i find it ironic that this concern is coming from you . marisa : me ? this is n't about me . victor : of course it is about you . you do n't give a damn about the newman family . you bounce from man to man until you find the right deal , the right circumstance . that is why you 're with my grandson noah , is n't it ? marisa : i love your grandson . i love him . victor : really ? marisa : and i would do anything for him , really . especially now . victor : what do you mean by saying `` especially now ? `` marisa : this thing with sage is tearing him up . you being in here . he misses you , victor . victor : if that is so , then you give him a message for me . marisa : all right . victor : you tell my grandson that eventually i 'll get out of here . and if he and the others would apologize for the egregious mistakes they made by testifying against me so that i end up in this prison -- if they say they 're sorry , i 'll forgive them . marisa : and if they do n't ? victor : you do n't want to find out . victoria : my father claims that he wants our forgiveness , but he refuses to forgive us . meredith : can you just give him some time ? victoria : do you know what my dad has been doing with his time behind bars , doctor ? every day , we learn a new lesson , courtesy of victor newman . meredith : yes , i know . he has been lashing out . victoria : he 's been sabotaging his business , manipulating our lives . meredith : i know , but can you understand that sometimes anger is just a mask for somebody 's pain ? summer : look , i - i think that dr . gates is right . i mean , maybe if we showed grandpa some more compassion -- victoria : we have . but he 's determined to blame everyone else . do n't be naive , dr . gates . my father does n't want our forgiveness . summer : how do you know that ? victoria : because i know him . what he wants is for us to bow down and kiss his ring , and that 's never gon na happen . meredith : so , i take it by your silence that you agree with your sister . adam : i think my father 's gon na have to eventually realize that there are certain things in life that some people just ca n't get past . you can tell him i said that . dylan : the service was rough on you . sharon : on all of us . dylan : you got pretty emotional with nick . sharon : you know , he was in such a terrible spot . i - i had to give him some hope . he was in so much pain . i mean , i said what we all would have wanted to say , right ? dylan : yeah , you did . i 'm proud of you . sharon : do n't say that . dylan : what ? what do -- what do you mean ? i mean , what you did for nick is just another example of the incredible , loving person you are . sharon : i 'm just glad you were there with me . dylan : me , too . i 'm glad i made it . but i did have my phone off , so i got to check in with work , okay ? just give me one second . sharon : okay [ knock on door ] sharon : hi , nick . nick : hey . i , uh , wanted to see faith and check on her . i 'm -- i 'm sure i scared her . sharon : oh , you know what ? nikki smoothed that over . when they got home , they had a little talk . nick : can i see her ? sharon : she 's so exhausted from everything . she 's taking a nap , but if you want -- dylan : um , i was supposed to handle some business at the club later , but it looks like i 'm needed right now . sharon : oh . okay . be careful . dylan : always . all right . i 'll be in touch . if there 's anything that you need from us ... nick : i appreciate it . thanks , man . i , uh -- i wanted to come by and thank you for what you said . sharon : you do n't have to thank me . nick : no , i do . you 're right . i 'm not alone . and i 'm sure sage is grateful that you reminded me of that . sharon : what are you doing the rest of the day ? nick : i - i , uh , keep forgetting to tell you . i got to go over and , uh , hear the reading of sage 's will . sharon : oh . why do i need to know about that ? nick : well , michael said you need to be there . sharon : uh , me ? why ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she left you something . i do n't know . sharon : well , i - i ca n't go . i mean , the kids ... nick : i 'm sure my mom would watch sully and faith . sharon : mm , i do n't know . nick : look , i 'm sure it was awful finding sage , watching her slip away , unable to say anything . it might give you some closure if you heard sage 's final thoughts and words . stitch : so , let me get this straight . you actually think my son could have started that fire ? what the hell , abby ? abby : ben , please do n't be mad . look , i have to do this . what if i 'm right ? stitch : you 're not . abby : but it all adds up . that 's -- that 's why i called dylan . stitch : dylan ? abby : to do some investigating . stitch : you got the cops involved ? how could you do this ? ! abby : dylan is our friend . i asked him to check the tapes , and then , suddenly , a mysterious fire breaks out in the server room ? stitch : i know you 're desperate to blame someone for what happened to our baby . okay ? but putting this all on max -- it 's crazy . abby : no , no , no , no . i am not crazy . i 'm not crazy . just because you do n't see what i see does n't mean that i 'm wrong . stitch : okay -- lily : hey , hey , hey , hey . is something wrong here ? abby : lily , let me ask you a question . did max overhear that dylan was gon na come here and check the surveillance video ? stitch : abby , seriously ? lily : i talked to devon about it , but not max . abby : is there any way that he could have overheard ? lily : i mean -- stitch : and now you 're gon na grill lily ? dylan : abby . what was so urgent ? luca : so , how was it ? how did it go ? summer : um , it was just really sad . my dad kind of lost it . but then , actually , sharon kind of saved the day . luca : well , what did she do ? summer : she just talked . [ chuckles ] and then , somehow , she turned this horrible moment into something really beautiful , actually . luca : i suppose nick 's gon na have to take a leave of absence from newman . summer : yeah . probably . yeah , there 's no way he 's gon na be ready to go back to work right now . luca : good . i mean , how could your father focus on business now , right ? summer : yeah . luca : it looks like , uh , victoria will have to get by without him . summer : yeah , actually , i do n't know how that 's gon na go . she -- she seemed so intense after the service . luca : well , any particular reason ? summer : um , yeah . this -- this lady who works at the prison -- she showed up to the ceremony on my grandfather 's behalf . and she stayed after to talk to us , but my aunt victoria had zero interest in what she had to say . luca : well , who exactly was this woman ? and wha -- and what kind of message did victor have her deliver ? summer : why do you seem so interested ? [ door closes ] victor : you wanted to see me ? meredith : i changed my mind . i went to the memorial service , just like you asked . victor : i appreciate that . meredith : well , do n't appreciate it too much . i wish i had n't gone . it was a terrible mistake . michael : oh , shall we begin ? i thought i 'd keep this short and bypass the legalese . nick : i 'd appreciate that . thank you . michael : uh , victoria , sage wanted you to have a photo that she took of you and nick , and she had it framed . um , `` being an only child , i was deeply moved by the bond nick shared with his sister . the photo is a symbol of how fortunate they are to have such an extraordinary relationship , one that should never be taken for granted . since i ca n't be there to comfort my husband , i 'm counting on you , victoria . `` for faith , sage has left the necklace nick gave her on their wedding day . `` i 'm leaving one of my most treasured possessions to the daughter i 'd always hoped to have . `` nick : faith will love that . michael : sharon , sage also left something for sully . the vintage toy car victor gave christian . `` my little boy would have loved that car . i want sully to have it as a token of my gratitude and affection , because he was such a solace to me after losing christian . `` now , nick , sage left the remainder of her estate to you . she also left this letter . nick : [ sighs ] [ clears throat ] `` dear nick , i hope you wo n't have to read this for many , many years , but no matter when it happens , i do n't have many personal belongings or money to leave you . not that you need it . but there are -- there are three things i want to give you -- one more `` i love you , `` one more reminder of our beautiful memories , and one more `` thank you , `` not only to you , but to your family and to the friends who embraced me . they gave me the life and the home i 'd always dreamed of having , and i will be eternally grateful for that . finally , my love , never lose that amazing optimism which helped us both through the worst of times . you never stopped telling me we could find happiness again . so , here 's my final request . keep telling yourself that now . because you deserve happiness , nick . go find it . yours then , now , and always , sage . `` victoria : nick , do you need a minute ? nick : no . let 's just finish this . michael : the only thing remaining is another letter . it 's addressed to adam . adam : uh , thank you . it says `` for your -- your eyes only . `` victoria : well , that 's strange , is n't it ? chelsea : well , i - i think that we should honor sage 's wishes . adam : yeah , i - i , um -- i tend to agree . nick , i hope you understand . nick : yeah . of course . adam : well , if there 's nothing more , uh ... michael : our business is concluded . adam : okay . chelsea : i 'm -- i 'm so sorry , nick . she was a wonderful person . nick : thank you . adam : i wo n't say sorry for your loss . nick : please do n't ' . adam : what i will say is that i 'm angry . i 'm angry that she never got a chance to grow old or raise that family that she wanted . let 's go . marisa : hey . what are you still doing here ? noah : hey . i walked my dad -- hi -- to his car , and ... i 've just been lingering , said my own private goodbye to sage . marisa : listen , if you need more time , i can -- noah : no , no , no , no , no . i need you here . where have you been ? sit down . marisa : okay , well , maybe we should save this , um -- this conversation for later . noah : maybe not . what 's going on , marisa ? marisa : i went to see victor . noah : why did you do that ? you need to stay away from my grandfather , okay ? he is toxic . marisa : i had to warn him about luca and summer . noah : let me guess . he was n't the least bit appreciative . marisa : he had a warning for me . noah : oh , another warning , huh ? stay away from me or else ? marisa : noah , i think he 's getting out . noah : yeah . right . marisa : no , i think he meant it -- that he has some plan in the works . luca : i went to see victor earlier . what ? what are you thinking ? summer : that your reason for going there had nothing to do with me . luca : no , look , hey . it had everything to do with you , summer . okay , look , i was -- i was trying to calm this volatile situation with your family . that 's all . summer : yeah , by going to see a man who does n't like you ? okay , if he agreed to see you , it would only be to tell you to -- luca : to -- to what ? to stay away from you ? summer : yes . luca : look , that 's not gon na happen , summer . okay , i 'm not gon na do that . and you 're right . he did n't listen to me . and he certainly never mentioned this woman . summer : dr. gates . yeah . why would he ? luca : because he sent her to the service to talk to your family . that means she 's important . summer : she was just his messenger . luca : oh , no . she must be far more than that . ca n't -- ca n't you see that ? summer : okay , you know , this has nothing to do with us . luca : look , your aunt , your father , everyone has been waiting for the other shoe to drop with victor . this woman is it . summer : okay , so you think that my family should be scared of some random doctor . luca : no , i think your family should be leery of someone showing up as victor 's ambassador our of nowhere . summer : you know , actually , that brings us to the real question as to why you went to see my grandfather . you wanted to be the one that he reached out to . meredith : so , summer -- she was a little bit more open - minded , but the rest of them really were n't interested in anything that i had to say . so , i - i tried , but i 'm sorry , victor . i just -- i do n't think i was any help at all . victor : but i 'm very appreciative of the fact that you tried . thank you . meredith : well , i just wish it were a little more successful . victor : well , maybe next time , who knows ? did this -- what happened today -- kind of affect you , or ... ? meredith : well , i mean , being there , i could n't help but think about my relationship with my own father . i saw that you ca n't just turn your back on your family and walk away . victor : no , you ca n't . i 'm glad you realize that . dylan : well , i 'll see what i can find out about the fire . and , uh , stitch , if you would n't mind , i 'd like to talk to max . stitch : you 're actually going along with this insanity ? come on , mac ! this is my son we 're talking about here . dylan : hey , hey , hey . i realize that . let 's just gather the facts so we can try to disprove abby 's theory . stitch : you could have come to me first . devon : sorry , guys . i tried to keep max from this whole -- max : what 's going on here ? stitch : i 'm done here . that 's what 's going on . come on , son . victoria : sage 's letter was ... nick : it was one of the hardest things i 've ever had to do . but i 'm glad she left it for me . victoria : what do you think was in the letter she wrote to adam ? nick : i do n't know . they played huge roles in each other 's lives . they helped each other start over in genoa city . they 've been through a lot together . i can understand why she 'd want to say goodbye to him . adam : oh , my god . chelsea : [ gasps ] adam : sage knew i was christian 's father . she figured it out after he died . `` the way you reacted when christian died , your grief , it was like looking in a mirror , adam . i realized you must have changed the paternity test results . i should have been furious , but i was -- i was grateful . `` she knew this whole time . she never said a word . chelsea : `` i 'm writing now to thank you for keeping this secret and not ruining my marriage and to ask you to never come forward with what you know . adam , please , for my sake , do n't hurt nick . `` abby : after that outburst , you guys probably agree with ben that i 'm crazy . lily : no , we do n't think that , abby . abby : devon ? devon : no , abby , but max is stitch 's son , so it 's understandable why he would n't want to believe what you 're saying . abby : yeah , i - i understand it , too . dylan : i checked in with the firemen . they confirm that the fire was deliberately set . abby : [ sighs ] no . i did n't want to be right . lily : so , what happens next ? dylan : fingerprints , we 'll gather some dna evidence . whoever did this ca n't hide for long . luca : as much as i hate to admit this , i do want to be someone victor feels he can rely on . summer : because you want to run newman . luca : look , i want your grandfather 's trust professionally because -- because i want to protect your interests , summer , okay ? and personally because -- because i care about you . i 've seen how much this unrest in your family torments you . nothing would make me happier than engineering a peace within the newman family . you know , if i -- if i do that , maybe your heart will find peace and maybe your family will finally see how valuable i could be . summer : luca , i want that , too , okay ? i want that to happen , too . i do . but for now , just know that i value you . very much , okay ? max : abby accused me of setting the fire , did n't she ? but i would n't . i would never . just like i would never do anything to abby or the baby . i lost my mom . i - i know how much it hurts losing someone you love . i would never , dad . dad , i would never . stitch : i believe you , max . i believe you . come here . meredith : i never thought that there would be a prisoner who would help me get on the path to reconciliation in my own life . so , thank you for that , victor . victor : well , i 'm glad i was able to do some good . meredith : [ chuckles ] victor : it 's nice to know that you 're trying to bridge the gap between you and your father . i tried that with my own father , you know ? and when i did , it failed miserably . anyway ... nick : vick , it would have been hell getting through this day without you . you saved me . sharon , too . victoria : you know , what she said at the service was , um ... nick : what about it ? victoria : well , sharon was just so intense when she started speaking . it was like she wanted to say something but then she changed her mind . i do n't know . maybe i 'm just reading too much into it . nick : no , i think you 're right . i think sharon was just gon na remind me what it was like when we buried cassie . i think her words were perfect , and there 's nothing better she could have said at that moment . chelsea : i do n't get it . sage did n't want to acknowledge she knew you were christian 's father until after her death . she wanted that kept secret . but she -- she called you from the car right before her accident , saying she needed to talk about christian , so what about him ?

[ scene_break ] victoria : we both know that if i asked you to remove adam , you would n't . victor : no , i would n't . victoria : and i 'm sure he hates the idea of me investing in newman and the power that entails . victor : sweetheart , he has his reservations . victoria : well , he should , because whether or not you and i are ready to talk terms , we both know that if i put my money into newman , i 'm due something in return , not to mention nick and abby . it 's just something that adam could n't support , dad . it 's a complete failing of logic . and if you want to bring our family together , this is definitely not the way to do it . victor : sweetheart , do n't you think it 's time to put the past behind us ? adam has proven his loyalty to me in the most dramatic fashion . he risked his life for me . and he certainly has proved his loyalty to newman enterprises . billy : oh , yeah , kid . he 's right . i mean , adam did take a bullet to the back . that 's got to be worth at least half a billion -- victor : and you always told me that you would do what is best for the company . i believed you . victoria : with good reason . victor : i hope so . be honest with yourself . you are as excited about taking newman enterprises private again as i am , are n't you ? victoria : obviously , i need to think about your proposition , dad , and i need to discuss it with billy , as well . victor : oh , yes . by all means . i 'm sure billy runs his business decisions by you . did you have a grease fire today in the kitchen , or did you look for baked potatoes that you ran out of ? billy : [ laughs ] let me tell you something . victoria : you know , it 's late , so we 'll just discuss it tomorrow . victor : let 's discuss it tomorrow . victoria : discuss it tomorrow . victor : all right , billy . good luck with your joint . billy : thank you . victor : all right . i hope you will make the right decision for all of us .

[ sighs ] chelsea : the mistake that you 're about to make ... i 've made it before , and i 'll tell you something -- the fallout is hell . victoria : okay , listen . this is my life , not yours . chelsea : well , i am the one with the personal , painful experience . and i am telling you , concealing the truth about this child -- it 's the wrong thing to do . victoria : i do n't want to hear this . chelsea : well , you 're gon na have to . do you know how much i regret what i did ? victoria : yeah , i know . you 've made that exceedingly clear , all right ? so now can we please just drop this ? chelsea : victoria ... i can not be part of perpetuating another lie like this again . victoria : you do n't have a choice . chelsea : do n't i ? victoria : i protected you . i did n't say a word about connor . you have to do the same for me . you have to keep your mouth shut about this . you 've got to . stitch : is everything all right ? cane : why are you talking about dad being in a prison jumpsuit ? jill : this is the way my husband and i operate . we do n't pull any punches , do we ? cut right through to the truth . colin : i can handle anything you can dish out . but , you know , sometimes , i think a ... softer approach is required -- like , for instance , where the grandkids are concerned . jill : oh , please . make no mistake , colin . when it comes to charlie and mattie , i will protect them at all costs . colin : i 'll frame this . cane : you know , i have to admit , dad , you have surprised me . colin : have i ? cane : yes , you have . it looks like you 're trying to turn your life around , and i want to thank you for that , 'cause you have achieved the impossible . jill : yeah ? what did i do ? cane : you have reunited a father with his son . thank you . jill : i need to leave . colin : a - a - are you ill ? jill : would you -- no , i 'm fine , thank you -- make my apologies to lily , okay ? colin : you want me to come with you ? jill : no , no , no . i 'm fine . really , i 'm fine . i 'm fine . cane : [ sighs ] what did you do ? colin : i wish i knew . summer : hey . noah : hey . summer : i 'm really happy you could meet me . noah : yeah , well , you sounded pretty upset . what happened ? summer : [ sighs ] jack is hooking up with kelly . noah : as in ... ? summer : as in definitely more than friendship . he 's officially given up on my mom . noah : jack say that ? summer : uh , he said a lot of things , claiming that my mom is still the love of his life . noah : well , he 's probably doing more than `` claiming . `` summer , he probably still does love her . it 's just , phyllis -- she 's ... summer : so , you 've given up on her , too . kelly : well ? lily : you 're set . kelly : thank you so much for getting me these things from lauren 's boutique . lily : yeah , of course ! i mean , it 's nice having a lace - and - silk artillery down the elevator . kelly : [ sighs ] lily : you seem nervous . what 's going on ? kelly : i am . i am nervous . i mean , i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm -- [ sighs ] i 'm excited . but , you know , tonight is , uh ... [ sighs ] it 's a beginning . [ knock on door ] kelly : he 's here . lily : okay . you 're gon na be fine , all right ? you look absolutely gorgeous . kelly : oh , god bless you . thank you . thank you . thank you . thank you . thank you . lily : you 're welcome . kelly : okay , i have to answer the door . lily : okay , okay . sorry , i was just -- jack : lily . lily : uh , jack , hi ! um , i 'm -- oh , i 'm leaving . [ chuckles nervously ] so ... [ whispering indistinctly ] kelly : [ whispering ] just go ! sorry about that . my , um ... prep time went a little , you know , overboard . jack : kelly -- kelly : do n't say anything . this comes with a little presentation . are you ready ? victoria : nothing 's wrong at all . chelsea : i 'm running late , so i should go . um ... victoria , i 'm glad you found out the mistake with the prescriptions . someone really could 've gotten hurt if the facts had n't come out . stitch : um ... you look like you 're about to jump out of your skin . what is really going on with you ? victoria : uh , just , um ... guilt . stitch : guilt ? about what ? victoria : you know , i 'm sorry , ben , but i think i 'm gon na have to cancel . stitch : well , i mean , if johnny 's not feeling well , i could come take a look at him . victoria : no , it -- it 's not johnny . it 's just that my sitter canceled on me ... stitch : oh , well , i mean , you know , we can -- victoria : ... which just sort of made me realize that i - i need to -- to hang close to the house tonight . stitch : okay . well , i mean , we could -- victoria : no , alone . just johnny and me . i just kind of want to spend some quality time with him . [ chuckles ] forgive me ? stitch : sure . victoria : okay . thanks for understanding . billy : i do n't appreciate this , mother . jill : well , then , do n't drink it , billy . billy : [ sighs ] it 's not the coffee . i do n't appreciate you coming over here , trying to drown me . jill : oh , please ! i sprinkled a couple drops of water on your face when you were passed out . i thought you were trying to impress victoria . how impressed would she be when you could n't even stand up or keep your eyes open , you were so sloshed ? oh , my god . this is the way to win her heart back ? billy : well , it 's worked before . jill : oh , billy ! billy : i 'm regrouping , mom , okay ? things are n't going that great on the victoria front . jill : really ? all right . well , do n't give up , all right ? just find a new plan of attack . do n't wallow in defeat this way . billy : i 'm not wallowing ! i 'm ... meditating . jill : more like marinating . how is getting drunk supposed to help you win her back ? billy : i 'm sorry . did you come over here to harass me ? jill : no , darling . i came over to use you as a sounding board ... and to get away from my husband before i strangled the life out of him . colin : my wife does n't like to show any sort of weakness , which makes it difficult to help her . but then again , i knew that before we got married . cane : are you regretting that now ? colin : hell no . i 'm more concerned that she may be having second thoughts about me . cane : what did you do ? colin : nothing ... that i am aware of . look , if -- if i 've got to prove my love to jill , so be it . cane : and how do you plan on doing that ? colin : well , i have thoughts about starting a new business , something on the straight and narrow . cane : [ coughs ] [ clears throat ] excuse me . you want to be legit ? really ? colin : actually , i thought i might pitch the idea to your brother - in - law . cane : devon ? lily : not on your life . kelly : so , what do you think ? good choice ? jack : you are so incredibly beautiful . kelly : that 's just what i was hoping you 'd say . jack : wa - wait . we ca n't . kelly : wow . from `` you look incredibly beautiful `` to , uh , `` i ca n't `` in less than 10 seconds . that 's got to be some kind of record . why ? jack : i 'm sorry . i -- kelly : no , do n't -- do n't apologize , jack . please do n't apologize . just tell me why . you know , this was your idea to -- to do this , to -- to get this room . jack : and i feel terrible that i suggested it . kelly : oh , great . `` terrible . `` it 's just getting better and better . jack : almost as terrible as i feel putting on the brakes . kelly : well , then , why did you ? what 's wrong ? jack : i thought i was ready . i 'm not . kelly : but you were ready . you -- you -- you were so ready . w - w - what happened in the -- in the last hour to change that ? jack : i just saw my daughter downstairs . noah : look , i 'm still on your side , summer . it 's just -- [ sighs ] i can see jack 's side in this . summer : okay , so , uh , how are you on my side ? noah : i 'm being honest with you . i ca n't help but feel for the guy . summer : okay , my mom is sick , okay ? she ca n't -- she ca n't talk to us or even open her eyes . i refuse to give up on her , noah . noah : good . summer : and i ca n't stand to watch other people give up on her , either , especially jack . noah : that 's where you 're losing me , summer . where 's the giving up in this ? summer : he 's dating , noah ! noah : does n't he still constantly check in with phyllis ' doctors ? does n't he talk to her on the phone ? i mean , you said he plays music for her . is n't he still flying back to georgia to -- to see her whenever he can ... summer : yeah , but -- noah : ... just to hold her hand or see her face ? that 's not giving up , summer . that 's pure devotion . and , god forbid , if phyllis is in a coma for the next couple years , do you think that jack should have to give up the rest of his life , too ? jill : well , i must say , you do n't seem very shocked . billy : what -- that you want to kill your husband ? no , i 'm not . i met the guy . it 's a surprise it took you this long to get to that point . so , what 'd he pull now , hmm ? jill : well ... as much of a master manipulator as my husband is , when it comes to his new cell phone , it seems he 's a victim to the butt - dial , just like the rest of us . billy : [ chuckling ] he butt - dialed you , huh ? jill : mm . billy : what 'd he do ? uh , did he ... jill : no . he did n't cheat . it just seems that he owes a lot of money . billy : so his marriage to you is ... jill : oh , billy , come on . i knew he did n't come back just for me . i knew he wanted to get his grubby , little hands on katherine 's inheritance to me . billy : well , that 's his reason . what 's yours ? jill : the things that man does to me ... billy : oh , god . mom , come on . i mean , where 's your mother - son filter , huh ? jill : i am not talking about that , okay ? i do n't know . he just -- he makes me laugh . he challenges me . he ... [ sighs ] he moves me . billy : yeah , but if you ca n't trust the guy , why ? jill : i love him , billy . and i finally realized that he loves me just as much . we 're just magic together . i do n't know . and even though i know i ca n't trust him completely , i 've made a decision . i am going to go for this . i am surrendering to the marriage and to him , faults and all . billy : well , he 's got a lot of those . jill : yes , he does . and the latest one is that he has broken our agreement not to lie to each other . so what do i do now ? billy : what 's the dilemma , mom ? i mean , you know what to do . you kick the guy to the curb . chloe : so , is this how it 's gon na be now ? chelsea : chloe . what ? chloe : you disapprove of my choices , so you 're gon na ignore me ? chelsea : i was n't ignoring you . chloe : [ chuckling ] you just walked right past me . chelsea : oh , i - i -- honestly , i did n't even see you . i 'm -- i 'm a little distracted right now . chloe : and ticked at me . chelsea : i swear to you , my mood right now has nothing to do with our argument . i just [ sighs ] stumbled over some troubling news . chloe : yeah ? about what and who ? [ knock on door ] victoria : ben . stitch : um ... i 'm not buying this whole `` there 's nothing wrong `` line you keep spouting . there 's something heavy going on with you . i 'm not gon na sit back and do nothing while whatever this is keeps tearing you up . victoria : you 're right . there is something i need to deal with . kelly : okay , so , you saw , uh , summer , um ... and you told her that you were coming up here to see me . jack : yeah . kelly : and she took it as some kind of betrayal of her mother . jack : she was very upset . kelly : that 's understandably so . what about you , jack ? i mean ... d - d - do you feel like this is a betrayal of phyllis ? jack : i 'm only just now allowing for the possibility i might not get phyllis back . kelly : and -- and summer 's not there yet . jack : no . how could she be ? look , i 've made promises to my daughter . i have n't spent her whole life with her . i have to do this for her . kelly : okay . i see . jack : and for you . kelly : for me ? jack : summer has made me face certain realities that i have ... conveniently avoided , like what i might do if phyllis miraculously woke up . i still love her , kelly . i still want to marry her . and that 's not fair to you . kelly : you know ... why ca n't i decide what 's fair to me ? chelsea : well ... [ sighs ] chloe : `` well ... `` tell me . chelsea : i think i have to keep this one to myself for now . chloe : so now you 're keeping secrets from me ? chelsea : chloe , do n't you have enough to deal with right now ? chloe : shutting me out ? treating me like a stranger ? chelsea : no ! no , but i do n't want to take a step back and end up on bad terms with my friend and partner again . chloe : okay , well , then , a good friend and partner would n't attack me for making big life decisions like having another baby . chelsea : i was not attacking you . chloe : seemed like you were . chelsea : i was trying to be loyal enough and care about you enough to risk telling you the truth . i 'm worried about you . in the past , i have n't been honest about things , and i 've ... kept silent when i should 've spoken up . chloe : what 's wrong with keeping your opinion to yourself ? chelsea : well , sometimes , when there 's something you should say , you should just say it ... [ sighs ] ... especially when there 's a baby on the way . chloe : but there 's not a baby on the way . i 'm not pregnant yet . chelsea : you know what i mean . colin : hello , lily . we were , uh , discussing starting a new business venture . lily : yes , i heard that , right before you casually mentioned my billionaire brother . cane : colin knows that devon is still looking for places to invest his money . lily : and he will find them on his own . but i will not let him be taken for a ride by you . colin : you 're assuming . lily : no , i 'm remembering what you 've done . and do you want katherine 's money that she left behind to be used on some con ? colin : i 'm not out to con anyone . i 'm , uh , starting a new business venture , and i was hoping that my daughter - in - law might be able to see past the past and trust me . lil well , i 'm sure you can understand that overhearing that you 're suddenly interested in the richest member of my family would make me suspicious . colin : i can understand your mistrust . but i 'm hoping that one day in the future , that i can win you over . cane : [ sighs ] lily : so , i 'm assuming , by your silence , that you 're on his side . am i right ? jill : billy , have you not been listening to a word i said ? catapulting colin out of our lives is not an option . i knew who the man was when i married him . but you 're right . [ sighs ] i 've got to punish him ... ... or at least hurt him a lot . billy : for trying to use you , you mean ? jill : i already told you , i knew he came back for more than just me . the money was always dangling over there in the background . and i ca n't blame him for that . i mean , i probably would 've done the same thing . billy : [ laughs ] jill : here 's the point . we just made our wedding vows . they were vows of love and trust . and he broke them when the words were barely off his lips . billy : yeah . uh , mom ... [ sighs ] this whole thing is a little twisted , all right -- i mean , not that i would expect anything less , but , uh ... if you need my help , i 'm your guy . jill : aww , thank you , darling . that 's very sweet of you . billy : [ chuckles ] jill : but this particular bit of agony , i want to inflict myself . i want to really watch it sink in . billy : and what would hurt a greedy lowlife like that except to deprive him of his payday ? losing every dime of katherine 's money would hit colin right where he lives . jill : you 're absolutely right . that is his weak spot . now , if i could just figure out how to ratchet it up to really make him pay -- oh ! oh , my god . i just thought of exactly the way to tighten the screws . i love you . mwah . billy : love you , too . [ chuckles ] cane : i would really appreciate it if we could maybe give my dad another chance . lily : and let him rip off my brother ? cane : all right . listen . when he said devon 's name , it threw a red flag for me . lily : okay . then why would you want to ? cane : because devon is the only person in this city who would give dad a second chance and open his wallet after what my dad has done . lily : yeah , exactly ! thank you ! that 's my point ! cane : and it is a very good point . lily : [ sighs ] but he 's your dad , so ... cane : he 's my dad . lily : ... you want to give him another chance -- i get it . cane : thank you . and i appreciate you keeping your mind open for this . okay ? lily : fine . but do n't get excited . i 'm only giving him a chance to show his true colors ... cane : [ chuckles ] lily : ... whatever that may be . cane : thank you . lil you 're welcome . jill : ah ! you 're home . colin : [ sighs ] all right . even cane could tell something 's going on with you . jill : you 're absolutely right . colin : uh , well ... what is it ? jill : honey , i 've just been very frustrated , because i have this big surprise planned for you , and i was hoping and praying that i could make it happen . and as luck would have it , i 'm gon na be able to pull it off . colin : when do i get this big surprise ? jill : right now . summer : i totally went off on jack at the club . i mean , noah , he looked really , really hurt by the things that i said . noah : that 's too bad . jack 's a good guy . summer : he is . and i handled it completely wrong . i should probably apologize to him . noah : well , i 'm proud of you for realizing it . summer : yeah , well , i 'm not happy about jack and kelly being any kind of couple . noah : i do n't think jack 's expecting you to send up the balloons or streamers , just -- summer : just let them decide what they want to do with their lives . i know . jack : i 'm sure you 're angry at me , and if you want to take it out on me , i do n't blame you . kelly : how could i be angry at you , jack ? and for what -- for loving your daughter , for wanting to stay loyal to the woman that you intend to marry ? those are n't qualities that you hate a man for , you know . it 's quite the opposite . [ inhales shakily ] listen , you do what you have to do , okay ? i 'd just really appreciate it if you would leave , 'cause i 'd like to get dressed . [ crying softly ] victoria : you coming here is so sweet and caring , and ... i really appreciate it . stitch : then tell me what 's going on . victoria : it 's just , you know , what 's weighing on me right now like a big ball of stress is ... [ sighs ] i just think that this may be too much for me . stitch : this meaning ... us . victoria : you know , we agreed to take things slow , and ... i 've seen you every day since then , sometimes twice a day , and , you know , i just feel like this relationship is steam - rolling full speed ahead , and -- stitch : due to my enthusiasm . victoria : which is nice . it -- but it 's ... stitch : look , i know . it 's -- it 's fast , and ... uh , i get it . [ sighs ] it 's just , i -- to be honest , vicki , i do n't want to slow down my feelings for you . victoria : it 's just that -- stitch : look , i 'm not saying that i wo n't back off and give you the time and space you need . i will . the message that you 're not ready is finally coming through , loud and clear . so ... i 'll go , and wait for you , uh ... to be ready . victoria : thank you , ben . stitch : until then ... you know where to find me . victoria : yeah . [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] chloe : billy ? billy : yeah . hey , it 's me . chloe : i 'm surprised you 're in any kind of shape to dial a phone . billy : ah , i would n't be , but my mom stopped by , and jill 's enough to sober up anybody . plus , she poured a ton of coffee down my throat . chloe : so , what can i do for you ? billy : i just wanted to say thank you for getting me home . i do n't even remember going up the stairs or getting in bed , and -- chloe : that was nothing . billy : it was something , chloe , and i owe you one . chloe : you 're welcome . and do n't worry . i 'm sure i 'll find a way for you to pay me back . [ doorbell rings ] [ next_on ] jill : i have solved the mystery of the music box . victor : just come home with me where you belong ! nikki : i can not ! i ca n't ! chelsea : i just came from seeing billy . victoria : you did n't tell him that i 'm pregnant , did you ? | at the hospital , chelsea asks victoria if she is pregnant . victoria confirms that she is . chelsea is thrilled for her . at the athletic club 's hotel room , chloe climbs into bed with billy and pretends she is victoria and tells billy she is n't going anywhere . at the athletic club dining room , jill is preoccupied as she has lunch with colin . colin asks what 's bothering her . jill asks what is going on with him . upstairs in a hotel room , kelly gets ready for her date with jack when she has a visit from lily , who has a bowl of popcorn . jill refuses to let colin know what is wrong with her . colin tells jill that they need to find out more clues related to katherine 's music box . cane walks up and interrupts them . he has some pictures that the twins drew and gives them to colin . in the foyer of the athletic club , summer asks jack if he is cheating on phyllis . he insists he is not giving up on phyllis . kelly tells lily that she has a date with a man , who will be there in a few moments . kelly begins to have doubts about her date with jack as she sits down on the sofa with the bowl of popcorn . chloe tries to coax billy into having sex with her , but he passes out . victoria tells chelsea that she had n't told billy about being pregnant . ben interrupts them and wonders what they are talking about . when victoria makes up a lie to tell ben about why they are there , chelsea asks her if she she knows who the father of her baby is , billy or stitch . victoria orders chelsea to keep her mouth shut about this . after a few moments of conversation about the twins , jill gets up and leaves . cane asks colin what he did to her . colin does n't have a clue . lily is getting ready to leave when jack appears at the door . lily leaves momentarily . as kelly begins to disrobe , jack does n't know how to approach this situation . |

victor : making yet another unwise decision . abby : is this legal ? can she even be here ? stitch : oh , boy , i wonder if dylan knows . sage : what happened to her watchdog ? nick : michael ? that 's a damn good question . sharon : what is wrong with you kids ? do i have to pour my own drink ? kevin : alcohol -- that 's a great idea ! noah : mom , you 're out on bail , okay ? you 're not supposed to be here ! mariah : have you forgotten that you 're under house arrest ? sharon : not for long . i 'm being vindicated ! noah : uh . what ? sharon : yeah , i 've said all along i 'm being framed , and now the police have proof . so i came here to let everyone know that i 'm innocent and that i forgive them . nick : okay , sharon , you need to go home right now . additional sponsorship dylan : well , i 'm here because i missed you . and it 's been too long . and we 've had a few conversations on the phone that have been very strained , and i figured the best way to fix that was to do it in person . so here i am . avery : i can see that . dylan : i actually stopped by your hotel first to see if maybe you were ready for a dinner break . but the manager told me you 'd already checked out . avery : yeah , um , this facility has some guest rooms for family members and caregivers . it was booked when i got here , but a room opened up , and i grabbed it . i wanted to be closer . dylan : closer to joe ?

okay , but all of that 's about to be resolved . i came here to celebrate -- and what better place than your grand re - opening ? it 's all about healing and moving forward , new beginnings , forgiveness . nick : kevin told me about this - this evidence that may prove you 're being set up , sharon , and i sincerely hope that happens for you , but until you are released and the charges are officially dropped , there is nothing to celebrate . noah : dad 's right . you think that being cooped up in your living room is bad ? try a jail cell . you need to go home right now ! mariah : look , it 's still early . i 'll drive you . sharon : no ! no ! i 'm staying , okay ? end of discussion . now , i 'd like a chardonnay , please . and then i think the rest of your customers would like some attention . mariah : [ sighs ] phyllis : you know , if i did n't hate sharon so much , i think i 'd actually love to hang out with her . i mean , what 's it like in her world , where reality never bothers you ? stitch : she 'd better leave before reality shows up here . i can guarantee someone 's gon na call the police . abby : i volunteer ! what ? i know the number . sage : someone may have just beaten you to it . victor : 919 summit street . she 's at the bar , waiting on a drink . yep . thank you , officer . nick : you could n't just leave sharon alone ?

kyle : i was driving , and then there was this other car on the road . i jerked the wheel to avoid it , but then we hit a tree . and we were going so fast . summer : are you sure that you 're okay , kyle ?

[ cell phone rings ] victor : excuse me . yes ? what ? ! are you serious ? all right , thank you . [ sighs ] jack abbott had a -- an accident . he 's in the hospital . so ... i 'll see you later . nick : wait ! dad , is he all right ? michael : sharon went to a party . that 's it ! she 's been locked up for days . she wanted to get out . she wanted to see her kids , wish nicholas well . i mean , she was n't leaving the state . she was n't hurting anyone . look -- was it impulsive ? yes . was it a bad idea ? terrible ! but ultimately , where 's the harm ? paul : come on , michael , you 're not gon na seriously ask me this question . michael : just let me take sharon home , and we can pretend that none of this ever happened . i mean , the case against her is falling apart . paul : it 's not my call . the law is the law . michael : i understand that -- paul : then you understand the position i 'm in . i do n't care how harmless her decision was . she broke house arrest . she went to a nightclub in front of a crowd of witnesses ! now , what am i supposed to do , turn and look the other way when victor newman himself called it in ? ! and as far as the case goes , michael , sharon certainly did n't help her case , no matter how weak the evidence might be . she is out of control , and now everybody knows it ! michael : yeah , yeah , you know what ? i ca n't deny , that 's the way it looks . and while her actions are ill - advised , she 's not a killer ! and quite frankly , paul , you do n't have a case ! now , if you have to revoke her house arrest so you can sleep at night , fine . so be it . but you can at least talk to sharon first . you explain to her that you might just believe that she is the victim of an extravagant setup ! noah : i wish you 'd just stayed at home , mom ! mariah : why did n't you ? especially when it sounds like you were so close to being cleared . sharon : the police have barely any evidence against me . i did n't think they would bother bringing me in ! noah : okay , well , now that they have , guess what ! they can just throw you in jail and keep you there until you go to trial ! sharon : oh , my god , no ! i can not handle that . i 'm already climbing the walls ! i will really go crazy then . i 've got to get out of here ! sharon : guard ? guard ! noah : shhhh ! mom , what are you doing ? you do n't realize you 're in enough trouble as it is right now ? sharon : i can not stand to be in this room , let alone a cell ! mariah : hey , you need to try to relax . deep breaths . easy . sharon : i will ask to go to the bathroom . they have windows in there . that 's how i got out last time ! noah : mom ! look at me . you need to calm down and focus ! be realistic . sharon : i am ! noah : no , not if you 're thinking about running . where are you gon na go ? what are you gon na do ? what 's gon na happen to faith ? she needs her mother right now . mariah : come on . noah : you just -- you need to hang in there a little while longer and trust that michael 's gon na convince paul to let this go , and then we can just take you home . mariah : you have already made one bad move tonight . if you pull something else , you 're gon na make everything worse ! sharon : no , you 're right . i -- i 'm not thinking clearly . i 'm sorry . noah : mom , have you been taking your meds ? because you seem a little manic . sharon : you know what ? yes , of course , i -- no . no , wait a minute . i might have forgotten . i might have forgotten because of all of the excitement over the last few days . mariah : take one . look , i know that you 're excited about the possibility of getting cleared . but you need to get yourself together for your own sake . sharon : you 're right . i 'm sorry . [ exhales ] paul said that i could make a phone call before he booked me . mariah : michael 's already here . sharon : no , i know . i want to call dylan . he just has a way of making me feel better . [ door opens ] paul : noah , mariah -- i need you to leave . i want to talk to sharon alone . avery : oh , it 's sharon . take it . dylan : she hung up . avery : well , you could 've answered it . dylan : well , i did n't answer it . avery : right , because you 're trying to prove a point that you 're not attached to her . dylan : no , because i 'm in the middle of a discussion about a guy who 's manipulating you . and it 's working ! he got you to leave home , your business , your fiancé . you 've turned your whole life inside out to be with this guy , and now you 're telling me that there 's no end in sight ! avery : joe is paralyzed ! okay ? he has no one ! god forbid , if you were hurt , i would do the same thing for you ! dylan : i 'm your future ! he 's your past . or so i thought . joe : ah , dylan ! this is a surprise . you come all the way here for a visit ? dylan : yeah , well , i 'm taking off . joe : so how 'd that go ? officer : we 're taking him into headquarters and you to the hospital . kelly : oh , no , you do n't need to take me or my patient anywhere -- see , the bleeding has stopped -- jack : your patient ? ! what 're you talking about , patient ? kelly : do you think maybe we could speak privately ? jack : no , do n't listen to her ! she 's a liar ! do n't listen to a word she says ! do n't listen ! she 's lying ! doctor : we 've gotten him stabilized . that 's the good news . kyle : and what 's the bad news ? doctor : the ct scan shows intracranial bruising from the accident . it 's in roughly the same area as his prior concussion , so we were n't able to determine whether there 's residual injury . that would tend to compound the current trauma . summer : in english , please ? doctor : jack 's brain is injured in the same spot as it was when he was in the building collapse -- which may or may not be a factor in how he weathers this . phyllis : so , how long do you think before he wakes up ? doctor : i ca n't answer that . some things are out of our control . now , if you 'll excuse me ... i 'd like to get back to my patient . phyllis : thank you . victor : hi , sweetheart . summer : hi , grandpa . kyle : i 'm gon na get some water . do you want anything ? phyllis : no , thank you . kyle : okay . summer : i 'll give you a hand . victor : you know , jack is very strong , and he loves you very much . and nothing will keep him from his new bride . phyllis : i hope you 're right . now , i 'm gon na go be with him , whether his doctors like it or not . victor : oh , okay . summer : wait , so you were starting to tell me about that phone call , the one that distracted you in the car . kyle : yeah , it was bizarre . whoever my dad was talking to , summer , he was really tense . he was like , `` who is this ? `` and then , `` answer my question first . `` summer : and this all happened off of your phone ? kyle : yeah . i got distracted , because i was trying to figure out who would have called that had my dad so startled . you know , it 's like he recognized the voice , but could n't believe what he was hearing . abby : so , here we are , out in public , and no one 's head has exploded . stitch : yeah , i guess it 's official . we 're a couple . abby : hey , no one even noticed , except for mariah , and you can always count on sharon for a big old distraction . stitch : you know , i hope she did n't make things worse for herself by showing up here . abby : getting arrested by the chief of police is never a good sign . and when she gets out and they announce that they 're dropping charges ... stitch : then the real killer starts to get worried that we 're getting closer to the truth again . nick : the loud group in the corner wants a sex on the beach , two draft beers , and a margarita , no salt . sage : you got it . did i hear you say there 's another case of vodka in the back ? nick : yeah , probably . sage : have you heard from noah ? what 's going on with sharon ? nick : do n't know , but i hope paul lets her off with a warning . i can not explain to my little girl that mother 's in jail again . sage : who could blame you ? nick : i just do n't know what the hell she was thinking ! i mean , she was on the verge of all this going away . why would she pull a stunt like this ? sage : she did it for you . kevin : how long has sharon been in with paul ? michael : oh just a few minutes . i could kick myself for dozing off and letting her leave in the first place . kevin : she 's a grown - up . she should know better . besides , you could use the sleep . you look like hell . michael : why , thank you . kevin : well , maybe if sharon does go to jail , you can go home and get some rest . michael : that 's not happening . kevin : what does that mean ? michael : nothing . forget it . kevin : michael . what 's going on ? michael : lauren and i are separated . kevin : what ? you jackass ! what the hell happened ? michael : things were tense . we were both under a lot of pressure . there were a lot of expectations that were n't being met . so we both decided that we needed a break . kevin : why are you lying to me ? michael : i 'm not lying to you . kevin : you went through so much last year , with fen and carmine , and you came out stronger than ever ! so , now lauren needs a break , while the man she loves is being treated for cancer ? that does n't make any sense . michael : all right , all right , listen ! now is not the time to discuss this . i have got a client to focus on . paul : and i arrested you for a reason . it 's no mystery . you broke the deal you made with the court , so i have to put you in a cell . sharon : i understand . it 's your job . i made a bad choice . there are consequences . paul : i 'm glad you understand that . sharon : what i do n't know , that 's really worrying me , is , although i broke the agreement of my bail , but does that change any of the facts of my case ? do you still believe that i 'm being framed ? paul : well , as i told michael , we are looking into other suspects . sharon : okay , then you admit that there 's no real evidence . paul : i did n't say that . sharon : what are you saying ? paul : the case against you is flawed . and if you repeat that , either one of you , i will deny it . sharon : all right -- michael : sharon , he is the chief of police . you do n't have to say a thing . sharon : it 's okay , michael . how can i incriminate myself when i 'm innocent ? michael : all the more reason not to say anything . sharon : paul , just forget about the case for a minute and just listen to me . i know i 've done some questionable things . but i did not kill austin or courtney . i am not a murderer , even if someone in genoa city tries to make it appear that way . i know that you know that . avery : and the worst part is dylan thinks that you 're manipulating me so i 'll stay here instead of coming home . joe : do n't you think that if i was trying to manipulate you , i would 've figured out a way to do that without being paralyzed from the waist down ? avery : look , it does n't matter . dylan and i will work this out . right now , i am gon na help you do what you need to do to get better . joe : look , it 's true , in the beginning , okay , i could n't do any of this without you . but you 've given me the strength so that i can do this on my own , all right ? so if you need to go home and reassure dylan , then you should . avery : i will do that eventually . but right now , you and i have a job to do . joe : i know this is temporary , but i appreciate all of it . and i 'm going to show you just how much . everything that you said was true . i can do this ! phyllis : jack . it 's me . now , you better listen up , because i have been through hell and back to be with you . and you are not gon na check out on me . do you hear me ? i need you to wake up , and i need you to open your eyes , because i 'm not gon na lose you to a stupid car wreck . understand ? victor : they said that no one is allowed to see jack right now except phyllis . so , i suggest the two of you take a walk and get some fresh air . what do you think ? summer : kyle ? victor : huh ? kyle : i 'm not leaving dad . summer : look , if anything happens , mom 's gon na call . we wo n't go that far . kyle : yeah . okay . victor : all right . summer : really , if anything happens , will you call me ? victor : you bet . okay ? bye , sweetheart . summer : thank you . victor : are you looking for someone ? nurse : uh , yes , kyle abbott . the police left this for him . they impounded the vehicle and had to bag up all of his personal belongings . victor : oh , well , i 'll see that he gets is . nurse : i 'm sorry , sir , i 'm supposed to give this directly to kyle . victor : do n't you worry , all right ? i 'll make sure that he gets it . nurse : of course . thank you , mr. newman . victor : sure . thank you . kelly : thank you so much , officers . you 've been incredibly helpful , but when you 're doing intensive therapy with a patient like this , it 's really important that you stay isolated . jack : do n't listen to her ! she 's lying to you ! she is not my therapist ! she was my girlfriend . she faked her death , had me kidnapped and dragged here against my will -- wherever `` here `` is ! officer : doctor , you sure you 'll be safe here with this crazy man ? kelly : i will be fine , and so will my patient . but before you go , there is one thing i need you gentlemen to assist me with . avery : okay , steady . you got it ! you got it ! left ... right ... you got it ! you did -- oh ! oh , oh ! are you all right ? you okay ? joe : [ laughs ] sure , i 'm great ! never better . you 're not making progress unless you fall , and , well , i guess i 'm making progress . avery : joe , i 'm so proud of you ! sage : i can see how concerned you are about sharon . nick : [ sighs ] i 'm just -- i 'm really , really upset at her . sage : [ sighs ] that , too . look , if you want to go to the police station and vouch for her or just go to be supportive , i 'm okay . i can handle things here . nick : that 's kind of you . sage : yeah , i 'm , i 'm a good employee . nick : yes , you are . but no , no , i 'm not doing that . sharon has her own support team . that 's not my job anymore . mariah : i swear to god , sharon is her own worst enemy . she hears good news about her case and decides , `` oh , great , i 'm gon na put on my best dress and break my bail agreement . `` noah : well , hopefully paul will be reasonable , send her home . mariah : you know what ? i am exactly like her . reckless . self - destructive . i 'm warning you , you 'd better run for the hills before it 's too late . kevin : too bad . i 'm not going anywhere . sharon : someone knew i was vulnerable to being set up because of my psychological history . someone transferred my fingerprints onto that tire iron . someone doctored a picture of me outside of austin 's building . and someone knew that i wanted his computer to keep a secret -- paul : sharon , why do n't you let us worry about the suspects and solving crimes ? sharon : okay , fine , while i worry about surviving a night in jail ? fine . i can do that . i wo n't like it , but i 'll get through it . paul : okay , you do realize it 's not just for one night ? you will be in lockup until your trial begins . michael : paul , this is absurd -- we both know that trial 's never going to happen . paul : michael , it 's out of my hands . she broke the bail agreement . michael : we 're fighting this ! i 'm calling judge hoffman . we 'll fix this up . sharon : wait . no , michael . [ exhales ] i really do n't like being here , but maybe the longer i am , the more time it gives paul to find who really did this . paul , do what you have to with me . i just do n't want anyone else to get hurt . find this killer ! phyllis : i know you , jack . i know you love me . i know you want to come home , so , do it already , okay ? we have fought so hard to be together . so , come on . wake up . wake up and open your eyes , baby . for me . kelly : good night , officers . thank you for all your help ! [ cell phone rings ] kelly : ooh . i 'm going to answer this . do n't go anywhere . hello ? victor : you called kyle , and the wrong person answered . what the hell is the matter with you ? kelly : jack got a hold of my phone somehow . victor : you get rid of that damn phone . kelly : i will . phyllis : hey , you ! you 're back ! jack : victor . kelly : do n't worry about jack . things got a little tense for a moment , but ... it 's under control . [ next_on ] dylan : i come back , sharon 's locked up , and the real killer 's still out there ! lauren : come on , let 's just -- let 's go home and just -- michael : no , stop it ! you have to let me go ! victor : he never got to sign all the documents , you know . neil : are you saying that someone should forge jack 's signature ? | kyle stands vigil by jack 's bedside while the doctor examines him and orders a bunch of tests then orders kyle to be checked out in the emergency room . in chicago , avery urges joe to try to walk but joe refuses and leaves her to go to a doctor 's appointment . avery asks dylan why he came to see her . dylan says how much he missed avery , but she reveals that she checked out of her motel room and moved into a room at the hospital , so she can be near joe . noah and kevin arrive at sharon 's side and urge her to leave , but she refuses . nick even orders her to go home but again she refuses by telling him that the charges against her will be dropped . everyone urges sharon to go home . abby volunteers to call the police , but victor beats her to it and reports that sharon is violating the conditions of her house arrest . nick tells noah to get sharon out of here before the police arrive , but it 's too late . an officer tells sharon that she is under arrest . jack manages to get kelly 's cell phone and calls the police but kelly tries to stop him . summer comforts kyle when she finds out about the accident . dylan asks avery how long she plans on staying , but she will not give him a definite time . dylan and avery argue over sharon and joe . noah gets a call from michael that sharon is gone and tells him that she 's with him at the underground . phyllis gets a call about jack . paul arrests sharon and takes her to the station . kyle takes all the blame for the accident since he was distracted by a phone call . the police arrive at the cabin where kelly and jack are , pull their guns on jack , and order him not to move . |

[ door closes ] stitch : hey , i 'm gon na -- i 'm gon na need your help , champ . so , we 're both sick and tired of people thinking the wrong things , right ? so we 're gon na shut all that down today . couple tests and it 's done . max : fingerprints . like for jail ? stitch : no . i swear to you , nothing bad will happen . this is just to prove that you 're the kid i know you are ... and that others are n't the people i thought they were . dylan : all right , max . i 'm just gon na rub this on the inside of your cheek , okay ? it 'll be quick . cane : i heard about max and charlie and the fire alarm at crimson lights , but an actual fire ? neil : in the server room , which means he thinks there 's incriminating evidence on tape . that is pretty diabolical for a little kid . abby : look , max would only set that fire if he thought that there 'd be some proof that he made me fall , so , lily , i have to ask you , is there any possible way that max overheard that the police were coming to look at that footage ? lily : charlie and max were playing while devon and i were talking . i mean , max might have overheard us . abby : can i talk to charlie ? he 's a good kid . i know he would tell me the truth . cane : uh ... neil : wait , wait . i understand your concerns , but maybe you should let lily and cane take care of this . abby : of course . but please , i am begging you , we have to find out if max is out of control , 'cause god only knows what would happen next . [ both sigh ] lily : god , what a nightmare to wonder if your child is that angry and destructive . cane : what do you want to do ? you want to talk to charlie about this ? lily : i mean , devon and i tried to , and he just shut down . cane : how do you want to handle it ? neil : tell him honest is the best policy . do n't be angry with him . and the most important thing is , make sure that he knows that you love him . lily : yeah , i mean , that 's what you 've always did with me . neil : you know what it is ? i think that kids are afraid of letting their parents down , that they 're gon na lose out on that love . i 'm guessing that that 's why max is acting out . lily : so , do you want to do this together ? cane : yeah . yeah . okay . lily : all right . thanks , dad . i 'm gon na go get charlie . cane : okay . neil : bye . cane : [ sighs ] neil : hey . it 's gon na be okay . i 'm sure that you two -- you know instinctively what to do . cane : yeah , i do n't know if i do , 'cause i did n't have a role model growing up like you , you know ? hey , listen . i 'm grateful that we have one good grandfather in their life , you know , someone they can look up to and respect , and i want to thank you for that . neil : hey , hey , no . stop that . i have n't been a good role model as of late . you know , i 've been having my own issues . what do they say ? sometimes you can be your own worst enemy . hilary : i 'm the one handling publicity for this company , and obviously `` 60 minutes `` would be an excellent platform to get our message out to the public . ashley : hilary , the last time you got our message out to the public , it consisted of you throwing neville and me under the bus . hilary : [ scoffs ] ashley : and if you undermine him , you 're actually undermining all of us . do you understand that ? hilary : what i did was called drawing focus . i kept the attention on me , okay ? the success story , the medical miracle . and i am the reason why this trial even got approved . ashley : you 're the reason the trial got pushed through before it was ready , hilary ! hilary : [ scoffs ] ashley : if you had n't jammed it down our throats , this setback with the patient never would have happened ! hilary : oh ! so that -- that is your argument , huh ? that -- that you and simon are n't good enough at your jobs ? well , maybe i have more faith in dr . neville than you do . ashley : you know damn well that 's not what i 'm saying . hilary : well , you know , i think he might look at this as motivation to succeed , but instead , you just lick your wounds and hide out in my office . ashley : you really enjoy being horrible , do n't you ? let me guess -- you think that somehow it makes you special ? is that what it is ? it 's interesting ? i got news for you . i 've known lots of horrible people in my life , and you 're not even the worst , at least not yet . and you want to know something else ? i get that you think you 're pretty powerful because you have devon 's money behind you , but ... the abbotts have a lot of clout . i guess what i 'm trying to say is you better start watching your step . phyllis : that woman looks awfully familiar . jack : that woman is fiona henley , former model , now current serious buyer . phyllis : that 's right . fiona . she puts jabot on the shelf . she moves a ton of units . jack : yeah . smart and lovely . billy always had great taste in women . only now he 's playing hard ball , using fiona to get brash & sassy a little push in the market . our newest competitor is now working our biggest buyer . phyllis : and he just had to bring her here ? jack : oh , see and be seen . you 're right . billy is in self - destruct mode , only fiona does n't know that . she just knows that each of them wants something the other might have . billy : exactly , which is why i like meeting outside of the office . fiona : so your brother can stare at us ? is that a glare ? billy : [ clears throat ] fiona : either way , i assume this location was n't an accident . billy : you know how it is . business is about perception . especially our business . fiona : our business ? billy : yeah . beauty , glamour , lifestyle . we present an aspirational image , more fun , more exciting , more attractive . but i do n't have to tell you that . look at you . you 're the whole package . you have real cred in this industry , fiona , and i could use somebody like you to boost brash & sassy in the market . fiona : i already sell jabot . billy : things change . we can change them . fiona : i 'm not gon na dump jabot for you . i 'm not that easy . billy : i would be sad if you were . but believe me , i plan to earn this , and i plan to work very hard . and i 'm just getting started . lily : so , mommy and daddy have to talk to you . cane : okay , now , it 's not gon na be scary , all right ? it 's just the three of us sitting here , and we want you to know that whatever we talk about , it 's not gon na be repeated , okay ? all right ? listen , you know we love you ? right ? charlie : yeah . cane : you know we trust you ? yeah ? okay . lily : and we know the fire was really scary for everyone , and that 's because a lot of people could have gotten hurt . cane : right , and we have to make sure that does n't happen again , so we have to ask you just a couple questions , all right ? charlie : mm - hmm . lily : so , can you tell us how the fire got started ? dylan : max 's fingerprints are at the station and cheek swab 's at the lab right now . abby : how angry was ben ? dylan : uh , well , he did n't punch me in the face , but he is pissed , and i ca n't say that i blame him . i mean , he feels like everybody 's attacking his son . and that parental reflex just kicks in . abby : you think i do n't understand , but i do . even though my baby was n't born , i still wanted to protect her . i 'm still trying . and max needs help . if we keep ignoring the fact that he 's responsible for my fall , he wo n't get the help that he needs . dylan : wait , wait . hold on . we do n't know that max caused any of this yet -- your accident or the fire . abby : i know . and i wish to god it was n't true , but it is . and now my baby is gone and my -- my husband is living in a hotel . dylan : okay , i think you 're getting a little ahead of yourself , because we do n't have the results yet . abby : what happens if we find out that max was in that room when the fire started ? dylan : [ sighs ] uh ... social services gets involved . treatment , some kind of therapy . abby : legally ? dylan : legally , i do n't know . he 's young , but there could be some legal ramifications , yeah . abby : [ sighs ] ben just got his son back . he loves max so much , but he ca n't see it . max is dangerous . and it terrifies me that ben is the next person on his list . billy : i am a huge fan of beauty . i 've always been a fan of beauty . i am pro- beauty . but i also like profit . fiona : wow . so you like beautiful things and money . it 's rare to hear someone admit something so controversial in public . billy : well , i speak the truth , and i do n't really care who hears it . beauty and profits -- that 's where my head 's at right now , so really this is about as good as it gets for me . fiona : even better than jabot and the internet - security project ? billy : if i was still a part of that project , i would n't be sitting here having a drink with you , would i ? and i 'm glad i did n't miss that opportunity . fiona : i 've dealt with brash & sassy before . it was a headache . newman enterprises is not the easiest company to work with sometimes . billy : [ sighs ] fiona : and victoria ? she can be rigid . billy : well , you do n't have to worry about victoria or the newmans , because i run the brand now . and i plan to invest in massive ad buys and have a heavy presence in social media . you can think of brash & sassy as young and spending now . fiona : somebody 's ready to go all in . that 's what i like to hear . phyllis : honey , why are you still staring at them ? jack : when billy first bought brash & sassy , i thought he was trying to get under victoria 's skin . now i realize he wants to stick it to jabot and me . this was all part of the plan . phyllis : billy 's being billy . jack : now , that 's the second time you 've said that . what exactly does that mean ? phyllis : he is being in your face defiant because he ca n't help it . he still thinks he 's a kid . so he 's acting like one . let him try and poach fiona . he can try to get her to buy his product instead of ours . what 's he gon na do ? charm her with his smile and a round of drinks ? jack : oh , i think he 's willing to go well beyond that . phyllis : yeah , well , fiona is very smart . she 's gon na see through his charm act . everybody does eventually . jack : this from billy 's biggest fan . phyllis : i am not billy 's biggest fan , not anymore . jack : wow . you say that like you mean it . fiona : [ laughs ] check , please ! phyllis : hi , you two ! nice to see you . jack : lovely as always , fiona . i guess billy 's told you about his latest acquisition . uh , a good product . not jabot , but a nice , little company . billy : he means younger , fresher , a lot more vibrant . fiona : ease up , boys . there 's enough room on the shelf for both brands . jack : you never pushed brash & sassy before . fiona : well , billy was never selling it before . i like what he 's selling . phyllis : please sit . tell us more . we 'd love to hear . billy : it 's up to you . phyllis : it 'd be fun . fiona : of course . we can stay for a bit longer . jack : billy , could i have a moment with you ? billy : sure . anything for you . fiona : he really is something , is n't he ? phyllis : oh , yes . that he is . cane : now , you know your mom and i love you very much , and that is not gon na change . no matter what , that will never change , okay ? lily : charlie , i 'm worried because i can see in your eyes there 's something you 're not telling us . cane : okay ? lily : is that true ? cane : you know it 's okay if you tell us . you can trust us . you know that , right ? charlie : i stole the keycard and gave it to max . but he never mentioned anything about setting a fire . lily : yeah , sweetheart , we believe you . we do . and thank you so much for telling us . and we 're gon na talk later about taking things that are n't yours and lying to us , okay ? cane : okay , but right now , we want to let you know we 're proud of you . we 're proud for telling us the truth . come here . give me a hug . lily : okay , save me one of those hugs . i 'm gon na go call dylan . cane : okay . i love you , little buddy . thank you for telling the truth . stitch : so , who 's winning ? you or the other guy ? you know , we can go to the park later if you want . [ chuckles ] you know , this place called the outside where the sun and the grass are ? i used to go all the time with my buddies when i was a kid , cause a little trouble . max : seriously ? you got in trouble ? stitch : sure . there was -- there was this one time i - i might have been convinced by my buddies to egg a house down the street . old man nelson 's place . it was great fun that night , and then the next morning , of course , i saw mr. nelson cleaning up , hosing down everything . man , did i feel guilty . i even helped him wash off the house . max : you think i set the fire . that 's why you 're talking to me about feeling guilty . stitch : hey , no , no , max . what ? no , max , i 'm -- i 'm not saying that . i 'm just ... i 'm trying to talk to you , son , find out if there 's more to all this . if you and charlie went in the server room and some type of accident happened ... something you 're afraid to tell me ? max : you said you believed me ! but you 're as bad as abby ! stitch : max ! hey , max ! max , come here ! max ! max ! [ stomps foot ] [ sighs ] dylan : you know , people snap . they do things they normally would n't do . hell , i 'm one of them . i 'm an adult , and i should have some self - control . but , you know , kids -- they have these feelings . they have these impulses . they do n't know how to handle them . abby : then you think max did it ? dylan : no , uh , no . that 's not what i 'm saying . i 'm saying that you , stitch , and max , you 've had a tough couple of months . just try to be there for each other . and i 'll let you know when the forensic results are in , okay ? abby : thank you . ashley : what 's this about forensic results ? abby : go . i 'll explain it to her later . dylan : okay . i 'll see you later . abby : all right . hilary : by all means , i 'd love to hear . abby : i will discuss it with my mother later . hilary : [ scoffs ] careful , abby . all this sneering is gon na give you wrinkles . abby : do n't start with me . hilary : mother and daughter oh - so - moody today . and ashley was telling me that you abbotts , you guys are just all so powerful . i almost ran and hid in my closet , but then i remembered that you are not as tough as you think you are . ashley : bye ! thanks for the update ! see you later ! [ scoffs ] abby : [ sighs ] ashley : what is going on ? forensic evidence ? abby : it 's max . it 's worse than we thought . dylan : hey . lily : hey . dylan : got your message . what 's up ? lily : yeah , it 's not great . charlie said that he stole the master keycard from the front desk , and he admitted that he gave it to max . dylan : [ sighs ] this whole thing just got a lot messier . lily : yeah . dylan : and i got to tell stitch . lily : i mean , they 're just kids , you know , and max has been through so much . dylan : i know . i just gave that exact speech to abby . but this is not looking good . and as a father , it 's gon na feel like a kick to the gut for stitch . [ cell phone chimes ] lily : is that about the fire ? dylan : yeah . results are in . stitch : max ! max ! can you hear me ? i need you to listen . look , i 'm -- i 'm sorry for doubting you . i mean it . i 'm just -- i 'm just trying to make sense of all this . people are all talking at me , getting inside my head and ... i know you are innocent . you listening ? i know you would never purposely hurt someone . i know that in my heart , little buddy . max : then why 'd you say that stuff ? stitch : hey . i should n't have . max : it 's because of abby . she wants me to be guilty . she 'll probably lie and bribe people so you 'll hate me and send me away . and that 's what abby wants . she wants me gone . promise me she wo n't make you hate me . promise me . stitch : i could never hate you , max . i could never hate you . come here . hilary : so , i take it jack will be joining us for the meeting ? you guys are gon na love my news . i have massive network interest in the medical research . well , the interest is in me first , the research second , so i will be able to shine a spotlight on some of my other passions , like the abbott - winters foundation , for example . neil : hmm . well , we do n't want the kind of attention that you 're selling . hilary : and what is that supposed to mean ? neil : it means that you 'd be sending the public the wrong message , confusing them about the foundation and the research . my bet is that they 'd think that you 're creating a pill to cure addiction . hilary : that 's ridiculous . i am perfectly capable of discussing two different issues in one interview . neil : hmm ! and trash both of them like you have neville and ashley , just to make yourself look better . hilary : stop making this personal , neil . neil : can i tell you something about yourself ? you are a backstabbing egomaniac , and that is awesome for our foundation 's image . hilary : well , i think you will change your mind when you consider the ramifications . neil : what do you mean ? hilary : well , the information i have on you , neil . it does n't come with an expiration date . neil : no , what you really mean is that you are going to continue blackmailing me from here to eternity . hilary : hmm . jack : you set this meeting to send me a message . why not just tell me to my face ? billy : it 's not that complicated , jack . i needed shelf space , and i need fiona 's access . jack : with one of the biggest buyers of the country ? you did n't think i 'd notice that ? billy : i did n't think about it . jack : what ? is this some kind of shot across the bow ? you 're letting me know brash & sassy is going after jabot 's market share ? billy : you just heard her . there 's enough room on the shelves for both our brands . jack : only there is never enough for you . you always want more . billy : [ sighs ] well , you know business . you grow your market or you die . jack : you stole brash & sassy out from under victoria to stick it to her and to me . billy : when you fired me from jabot , i needed something to do with my copious free time . jack : you want to take me on , little brother , fine . it was stupid for you to go after the mother of your children . billy : nope . you do n't get to do that . you do not get to lecture me on family loyalty , not today . jack : victor yanked victoria 's favorite division out from under her , and you helped . it was a cheap move , and it put you on the same side as victor . billy : jack , do n't ever say that again . jack : punishing victoria for asking me to fire you ? that is as victor as it gets , little brother . billy : okay . you want to compare me to the mustache ? that 's fine . you can do that . but just remember . you always lose to the mustache . phyllis : fiona , i know that this looks like a very friendly business deal , but you have walked into a very complicated situation . fiona : the brother thing ? that was clear about two seconds after billy and i sat down . and i have a sister . i know how these things work . phyllis : same here . there is something about sibling rivalry that -- that can get out of hand awfully fast . fiona : the brothers just want to get one over on each other . i simply want to use it to my advantage . phyllis : you want to lower your cost , pit them against each other ? fiona : if they want to offer me better deals , i 'm not about to say no . phyllis : well , i do n't know how that 's gon na work out . i mean , you 're gon na work them both up , and then you 're gon na walk away with nothing . fiona : i love a challenge . now all that 's left is to close the deal . [ footsteps approach ] fiona : shall we ? billy : read my mind . jack : fiona . billy : please . jack : buying brash & sassy was as much about me as it was about victoria . he wants war . phyllis : not against you . i do n't buy it . jack : yeah , because you always give him more credit than he deserves . phyllis : yeah , and you never give him enough . i just balance you out . jack : no , you do more than that . you push him until he 's out of control . this is a perfect example . phyllis : hang on . are you telling me that billy bought a cosmetics company because of me ? jack : no , i 'm telling you the two of you fed each other 's obsessions for months . it was you against the world and , unfortunately , against me . phyllis : we were against victor . it was never about you . jack : every time you lied to me , every time you went to him instead of me , you made it about me . phyllis : is this about you and billy , or is this about you and me ? jack : no , this is about you and billy . rage and anger and revenge . you stoked all those fires . now look at him . phyllis : listen to me . victoria rejected him . you fired him . you have been punishing him and belittling him ever since you exiled him to hong kong i do n't know how many years ago . that was you . all you . so whatever fresh hell is about to unfold , do n't you dare blame it on me . fiona : it 's a lot of house for just one man . billy : was n't supposed to be the world 's biggest bachelor pad . just turned out that way . fiona : it could use a woman 's touch . billy : yeah , well , feel free to pick out some new throw pillows -- if we strike up a good deal , that is . fiona : this is how you negotiate ? wine and pillow talk ? billy : [ chuckles ] fiona : talking about pillows . billy : hmm . yeah . well , if it works . make me an offer . fiona : i like this game . i 'm willing to offer you 16 % less than i paid newman for the same products . billy : you 're serious . fiona : very . billy : that kills my profits . fiona : but you 'd have the same shelf space as jabot . never mind the money . this way you can beat your brother at his own game . billy : you gon na say the same thing to jack ? fiona : no . no , he 'll take a sharper cut . i 'm thinking ... 25 % . billy : my brother and i tangle , but i do n't want to ruin jabot . i just want my company to be on top . fiona : then you have to fight for it . jabot stands between you and success . you have to get your products into the right hands . billy : [ chuckles ] fiona : these hands . i 'm offering you a win here , billy . but if you choose not to take it , i still have your brother as backup . billy : you stick with me ... and i 'll stick with you . so let 's make it official . fiona : a handshake ? billy : the way i understand it , that 's how deals are closed . neil : so , should i turn over the foundation to you , let you run everything ? hilary : do n't be silly , neil . you 're the perfect figurehead . everyone knows that you 're a recovering alcoholic , and that makes you a role model for this project . neil : hmm . i 'm beginning to hate that label . hilary : well , you should embrace it , neil , because you are a beacon of hope . even though you did , uh , follow me on my honeymoon , almost watch me die , and held me captive in a boathouse for months while your son was accused of my murder . what will your daughter and the public and , ooh , the police think of that ? jack : tell me you two are making progress , something to make this day not a total and complete waste . hilary : i have just the thing . actually , neil was telling me what a brilliant idea i had , hmm ? abby : if he did set that fire , which clearly he did , it means he 's responsible for my fall and he was trying to cover it up . so he went from assault to arson . ashley : abby , he 's a little kid . i mean , he 's not a criminal mastermind . abby : mom , you 've said it a thousand times . he 's sad about losing his mother . he 's afraid to lose his father . he blames me for both of those things . and the result is an emotionally damaged , out - of - control , little boy . ashley : honey , you do n't know all this for a fact . abby : mom ! he was at the club when the police were going there to look at the security footage , and then suddenly a fire breaks out ? ! ashley : could n't it be a coincidence ? abby : how is this happening ? you are siding with -- with ben and a little boy who is capable of doing things that i could never have imagined ! but soon there will be proof , and then you and ben can not call me crazy anymore . stitch : whoa ! did you see that ? look at that . ooh , hey . [ chuckles ] max : that 's so lame . stitch : but it worked . [ knock on door ] max : do n't get it , please . dylan : stitch ! stitch : i 'll get rid of him , all right ? this is your chance to finish those fries . hey . hey . you want to talk to me , call me on my cell . you 're not talking to my kid again . dylan : out here , please . stitch : sit tight , bud . this wo n't take long . okay , look , i 'm done with this witch hunt . i 'm not humoring you or abby anymore . i 'm serious . dylan : we have proof ... that max set the fire . ashley : honey , i can see that you 're upset . and you know what ? the only side i 'm on is your side because you 're my child . but i have news for you . that 's how ben 's gon na feel about max . i mean , it 's a primal thing . abby : hmm . and i ca n't understand that because i 'm not a mother ? well , whose fault is that ? ashley : that 's not what i 'm saying . look , honestly , i do n't know what 's real and what 's not real , but i hope to god you 're not right about max , because if you are , if he 's behind the accident and setting that fire , do you have any idea what that 's gon na do to ben ? i mean , it 's gon na tear his entire world apart . stitch : okay , you know what ? i do n't want to hear another word unless you have some hard proof . dylan : okay , uh , charlie admits that he gave max the master key , and that 's how he got into the server room . stitch : okay , look , charlie is a little kid . he probably said what he thought you all wanted to hear ! dylan : look , the system shows that the key was used shortly before the fire triggered the alarm . and we lifted prints from the room . max is a match . stitch : okay , so -- so -- so he was in the room . dylan : yeah . stitch : okay , may -- maybe him and charlie were playing a game . it does n't mean the fire was deliberately set ! dylan : you 're right . i know this is your son we 're talking about , okay ? i know what this means . stitch : do you ?

[ previously_on ] devon : i was wondering if , instead of getting coffee , if you 'd like to get dinner with me at the opening of the restaurant . elena : sounds like a date . ana : now that the contract is signed , it 's time for the hard work . tessa : bring it . nick : adam 's dead . victor : how could you lose track of him ? you wanted too much , too soon . victor : i know what he can handle . sharon : he specializes in memory retrieval . why would victor hire someone like that ? what 's going on , victor ? victor : there 's something that you need to know . nick : [ exhales sharply ] hey . nikki : hi ! it 's good to see you getting some exercise . nick : yeah , i just thought i 'd come out and enjoy the nice weather . nikki : good for you . nick : so , uh , what 's the latest ? any word from our international man of mystery ? nikki : i still do n't know what your father is up to , but i 've taken matters into my own hands . it should all come to light very soon . victor : this has to stay between the two of us , okay ? you have gone to a great deal of trouble to follow me , to find out what i 've been up to these past few weeks . i 'm about to tell you . sharon : but not rey ? why could n't rey stay for this ? victor : it has nothing to do with him , does n't concern him . but it will have a huge impact on you . sharon : on me ? victor : adam ... is alive . devon : yeah , let me check with my graphic designer and get back to you about that . all right . take care . elena : hey . devon : hey , you . how 's it going up there ? elena : good . i 'm actually running to crimson lights . jett loves the blueberry scones , so i thought i 'd grab him some . can i get you anything ? coffee ? devon : no , no , i 'm okay . thank you , though . elena : hey , i do n't want to sound presumptuous , considering we 've only been on one sort - of date . devon : oh , i would for sure consider it a , uh , legitimate date . despite how the evening ended , i was having a great time with you . elena : okay , but is there anything i can do for you ? like , do you want to talk , or ... ? anything ? ana : sorry ! it took me so long to get back here . the traffic in this town . anyway , do you have time to go over the notes for tessa 's recording session ? i need to confirm a few details . devon : sure . sure . ana : okay , seeing that she 's kind of been a problem child , i want to go in prepared . devon : okay . elena : i 'll leave you to it . devon : okay . i 'll see you later . uh , whatever the two of you come up with , i expect to be blown away . ana : but no pressure . devon : yeah . tessa : you seem lost in thought . mariah : no , it 's just , um , temporary , do n't worry . tessa : you sure ? mariah : yeah . why ? tessa : well , you just -- you seem a little off . is something on your mind ? tessa : no . no , it 's just , uh -- it 's just work . uh , speaking of which , today is your big day in the studio with ana recording your single . tessa : oh , is that today ? i totally forgot because i 'm panicked . mariah : do n't be ridiculous . your stuff is killer . tessa : you 're biased . mariah : yeah , and happy and proud and excited for you . tessa : i wish you could be there . mariah : me too , but ana is the boss , and i 'm sure you are gon na wow her . sharon : what -- how is that even possible ? victor : i 've seen him face to face . sharon : here ? in vegas ? victor : in vegas . turns out that he is a member of an underground gambling ring . sharon : so you tracked him down . victor : that 's right . he uses the handle `` spider . `` that 's how he makes a living . sharon : none of this makes any sense . adam was in that cabin when it blew up , chelsea saw it . victor : she saw the explosion . but obviously no one realized that he had escaped . i ran into him right here in this town . saw him face to face . sharon : what happened ? victor : he did not recognize me at all , not even a glimmer . had no idea who i was . apparently , he does n't remember a damn thing that happened before the explosion . sharon : so ... the psychiatrist , that 's why -- victor : the psychiatrist has n't found out a damn thing . that 's why i 've come to you . i think you ... will be able to bring him back . additional sponsorship tessa : what 's this ? mariah : it is a gift for you to celebrate today , back in the studio where you belong . tessa : oh ! mariah : well , open it ! i want to see if you like it . tessa : well , since it 's from you , i already know i 'm gon na love it . [ inhales sharply ] okay . mariah ... mariah : you like it ? tessa : it 's gorgeous . mariah : it 's totally one - of - a - kind , just like you . god , that was sappy . wow . tessa : it 's perfect , like you are . thank you so much . mariah : did you see what it says on the strap there ? it 's , uh , one of your lyrics . `` ready for the fight . `` tessa : wow , that was really thoughtful of you . mariah : well , hopefully it 'll bring you luck today , not that you need it with all of your talent . tessa : have i told you lately how grateful i am to have you on my side ? mariah : always . tessa : i mean , you believe in me , especially when i do n't believe in myself . oh . look who walked in . mariah : who 's that ? tessa : her name is elena . she 's jett slade 's niece , and devon brought her to the opening of society . mariah : i did n't know devon was dating again . tessa : well , it seems fairly casual , but it was just really nice to see him so happy , and they looked so amazing together , and it was , you know ... it was great , well , um , before devon went to check on neil . mariah : so sad . tessa : yeah . poor devon . um , anyway , uh , it was just , uh , really nice to see him so relaxed and happy . for the time . mariah : well , i 'm glad that he 's putting himself out there again . that 's a huge step for devon . tessa : yeah . oh , i 'm , uh -- oh ! i 'm running late ! i should go to the studio . mariah : okay , go , go , go , go , go ! and , um , uh , break a leg , or is that for actors ? i 'm not sure . tessa : i 'll take it . mariah : okay . hi . hi , i 'm mariah copeland . elena : hey ! i know who you are . i watch your show all the time . mariah : oh , uh , great . i just wanted to come over and introduce myself because i just found out that we have somebody in common . nikki : yeah , victor was playing his usual game of `` the less you know , the better off you 'll be ... `` nick : `` i 'm protecting you . `` nikki : yeah , because i 'm such a delicate flower . nick : well , you do n't seem as frustrated as the last time we talked . nikki : i finally took action . nick : yeah ? how ? nikki : i hired rey rosales to investigate . nick : to investigate dad ? nikki : he 's in las vegas as we speak . he 's trying to track your father down without him knowing it . nick : that 's a good call . nikki : really ? nick : yeah . rey redeemed himself . he sacrificed a hell of a lot to get to the truth , and i 'll always be grateful to him . nikki : well , i 'm very happy to hear you approve . sharon : he really does n't recognize you ? he has complete memory loss ? victor : no . i see it in his face . he reacts as if i 'm some guy who walks around , claiming to be his father . sharon : [ sighs ] well , what makes you think that i would have any more luck getting through to him ? victor : he was deeply in love with you . sharon : victor ... victor : it was an obsession . you know that . sharon : that was a long time ago . victor : well ... well , sharon , i think , because of your history with him , you 're the only one who can get through to him . and i hate to say it , but i need your help . sharon : how ? what do you want me to do , exactly ? what do you expect from me ? victor : remind him of the relationship you once had with him . sharon : whatever that was . victor : he was deeply in love with you . if you somehow remind him of that , i think you can help heal him . sharon : you say that as if it 's somehow my responsibility . victor : [ inhales sharply ] you like to say that you 're a compassionate person . prove it . sharon : what about me ? what happens to my life if i reach out to adam ? have you thought about that ? what patients do n't realize is devon : so , elena went to the coffeehouse . jett : why ? i mean , there 's coffee here . devon : hey , man , i find it best not to ask too many questions , but apparently , you 're in for a treat when she gets back . that 's what she said . jett : [ laughs ] that is just like elena . you mention something to her once in passing , and she will remember it and she 'll go out of her way for you . devon : yeah . she does seem like a very , very sweet person . jett : devon : i 'd love to know more about her . jett : what do you want to know ? devon : just about her past , and the kind of person that she is . she mentioned to me that she lost her mother , your sister , which i 'm very sorry to hear about , and she was talking about how difficult it 's been , but she never really got into what happened . jett : elena , um , was a resident . not too long after med school ... devon : yeah . jett : she was working at this hospital , and my sister was really sick . alone at home , she fell and hit her head and ... there was no one there to call for help , and she passed . elena never got over it . the guilt of it all ... devon : well , what did she have to feel guilty about ? jett : she was caught up in her career , you know , being a doctor . she felt that if she had n't been working those crazy hours that she might have gotten home in time to save her mother . i mean , that 's how she figures it . i told elena over and over again that it was n't her fault . she ca n't hear it . ca n't let it in . she blames herself for monica 's death , and ... it just does n't make any sense to me . devon : well , it 's deeper than logic , that 's the problem . and i understand it . you know , elena misses her mom . she wishes that she had more time to spend with her . elena : i knew devon was your boss , but i did n't realize you guys were close . mariah : yeah , we were both going through a rough time and we leaned on each other . we even dated for a bit . elena : oh . i guess i just -- mariah : no , no , no . i -- i promise you , that last part was a complete catastrophe . but we both came out of it having learned a lot . namely , how much we value our friendship . but i do really miss , you know , flying around on the private jet . elena : is that your way of asking if that 's what i 'm interested in ? mariah : i was really excited when i heard devon brought a date to such an important event . i know what a big deal that is for him , and i want that . i want him to be happy . so maybe i am over - protective , slightly obnoxious , even . elena : or you 're just a good friend . mariah : i try . elena : yeah , i was surprised when devon asked me out . i had n't thought of him that way , but we ended up having a really nice evening . in the beginning . just enjoying each other 's company , you know , having fun . mariah : that sounds lovely . elena : yeah , i -- i 'd like to know more about him . mariah : well , here is devon in a nutshell . elena : mm . mariah : so , tessa , my partner , and i were going through some , shall we say , issues , and devon decided to lock us in a room and would n't let us leave until we had gotten over ourselves and worked everything out . elena : huh . ana : okay , tessa , if you 're ready , i 'd like to jump right in . i think you know what i 'm looking for . tessa : okay . sounds good . ana : okay , here we go . tessa : hold my [ coughs ] sorry . sorry . ana : no problem . we got that out of the way . tessa : yeah , i guess so . ana : start over from the top . tessa : okay . hold my hand 'cause i ca n't feel them hold on to what you believed in ana : uh , i need more voice . you sound timid . tessa : sorry . sorry . ana : no , look , i know you 've recorded before . you can do this , tessa . tessa : you know , i just thought i could start soft so that the song could go somewhere . ana : yeah , soft is good . sounding scared is not . so let 's go again . tessa : okay . ana : trust me , i 'm looking at the whole picture . ancestry is celebrating all the tessa : if i ca n't figure it out if i ca n't turn it around if i ca n't change ana : tessa , it 's like your head is just not in the song . do you need a break ? tessa : no , i 'm -- i 'm just trying to -- i 'm just trying to figure out what you want . ana : what i want is for you to own the music . this is your song . own the words , own the story . tessa : okay . ana : thank you . if i ca n't figure it out if i ca n't [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . ana : what 's wrong ? tessa : everything -- everything 's fine . ana : it 's obviously not fine , or you would n't be having such a hard time . tessa : i just feel like -- i just feel like it 's a lot of pressure . ana : this is the big leagues , tessa . yes , when you perform , there 's bound to be pressure . that 's the nature of this business . but you drive through and you give it your best . tessa : i 'm trying , ana . i can not tell you how hard i am trying . ana : this is just not happening today . i 'm gon na cut this short . sorry . tessa : no , uh -- no problem . thank you . thank you for your time . mariah : hello ? [ knocks on door ] oh , hi . it 's you . nick : hey . you all right ? what 's going on ? mariah : yeah . i 'm fine . i 'm just , um -- i 'm just a little jumpy . maybe too much caffeine . uh , what 's up ? nick : oh , faith forgot some stuff here , so i just came by to get it . i 'll ask sharon where it is . mariah : uh , well , sharon 's not here . i just came by to get some paperwork for crimson lights because she 's out of town . nick : where 'd she go ? mariah : she flew to vegas with rey . sort of a last - minute getaway . but i 'm judging from your reaction that , uh , she did n't tell you . nick : no , she didn't . mariah : well , it was all really last - minute , and i think she figured because you had faith that you 'd be fine with it . otherwise , i 'm sure she would mention it to you . nick : i can not believe rey roped her into this mess . mariah : this mess ? what are you -- what are you talking about ? nick : just forget i said anything . whatever your mom does is her business . i 'll get what i need out of faith 's room and be on my way . victor : you followed me here . you were hell - bent on trying to find out what i was up to . now you know . sharon : and that obligates me to help you ? to become some kind of bait ? to win over adam ? so that you can wound him again , destroy his life , perhaps destroy mine ? victor : sharon . you and i have had history , a difficult one . for a moment , put all that aside , and imagine how you 'd feel as a parent , if you were in my shoes . sharon : having lost a child . victor : yeah . i know that you still care very deeply for adam . i can see it in your eyes . i mention his name ... sharon : victor ... victor : i can hear it in your voice . you know where to reach me . okay ? `` the young and the restless `` will continue . [ footsteps approaching ] [ panting ] tessa : [ sighs ] i blew it . mariah : i thought you were supposed to be at the studio . tessa : yeah , well , i stunk up the place , okay ? okay , i could n't sing . it was awful . i kept trying to give ana what she wanted , but i do n't know . i -- i just could n't get into it . i kept trying to explain to her that i needed to slow down , but ... when the words came out , it sounded so lame , like it was an excuse . my brain just turned to mush , and , finally , ana just stopped everything so i could stop embarrassing myself . i just feel like such a loser . mariah : hey . stop , stop . you are not a loser . you are incredibly talented , and you know it . tessa : you were n't there . mariah : no , i was n't , but i have been in the studio with you before , and you are brilliant . so just take a breath and tell me what happened . ana : it was a disaster from the first note . i mean , talk about a let - down . devon : what was the problem ? ana : hard to say . it 's like she came in cold , totally unprepared . i was very specific about what i wanted , but , tessa , she could n't give me a single decent take . actually , she said she felt too pressured , which i do n't understand . i was as patient and clear as i know how . but tim and i , we did n't have all day for her to get it together , so i cut it short . devon : you cut it short . well , i 've recorded with tessa before , and her first time in the studio , she was very green and very nervous , and it took her a minute to get in the flow of things and to get comfortable , but when she did , she was fantastic . she did an amazing song . ana : sure did n't happen today . devon : well , she probably needed a little more time to get warmed up . did she even make it through one full take ? ana : no . devon : no , so there you go . the first day in the studio is usually to let people get comfortable , not to worry about results . ana : you put all this faith in me , and i could n't even deliver . i wasted all that studio time . devon : you did n't waste anything , you 're fine . you 're allowed to have one bad day . ana : i just want to make you proud , devon . i love producing . devon : i know you do , and i 'm gon na give you some advice from one professional to another . ana : please do . devon : okay . a producer is meant to manage everything and figure out a way to bring all the pieces together , from the human side to the technical side , and you have to know that mistakes are gon na happen . there 's gon na be bad days . but it 's your job to solve those problems and figure out how to turn chaos into something that 's better than you ever thought it could be . that 's what make a good producer . ana : are you saying there 's hope for me ? devon : yes , of course there 's hope for you , and for tessa , too . so let 's not be too quick to write this off . rey : hey . so , what happened ? why did victor insist on talking to you alone ? sharon : he gave me some news that i 'm still trying to wrap my mind around . rey : news about what ? you seem upset . sharon : it concerns his son . adam . rey : the one who died in the explosion ? sharon : i did n't realize you knew about that . rey : yeah , well , there 's quite a file on the newmans at the station . sharon : yeah , i 'm sure there is . rey : okay , so -- so what about adam ? sharon : it turns out that he 's alive . rey : are you serious ? sharon : he 's settled here in vegas . he 's playing poker to support himself . according to victor , adam has no recollection of his life before the accident . rey : and you believe victor . sharon : um ... he was telling the truth . i 'm sure of it . rey : the guy 's got quite a poker face , sharon . you know that . sharon : look , i know why you would be skeptical , but i know victor . i can see it in his eyes . this was not a hoax . he asked me to help , to unlock adam 's memory . rey : what makes him think you can do that ? calling all sunscreen haters . devon : all right , here 's the deal . you have a great song that you want to record and put out into the world so people can hear it , and you are here to try and optimize her performance . right ? so we 're gon na take a slightly different approach . we 're going to forget about the clock because i own the studio . so let 's not worry about time at all . okay ? now , we 're all passionate about music , right ? or else , we would n't even be here . but passion comes in different forms , and what 's important for you guys to understand is that the artist and the producer do n't always have to agree with each other , but they always have to respect each other . and they have to listen and be able to communicate in a helpful way . okay ? it helps everybody . now , i know i talk about this being an industry and a business and we need to generate revenue and get followers and all that good stuff , but if we 're not having a good time and we 're not enjoying the process of making good , creative music , then fans are gon na hear that , and they 're gon na know it . they 're not gon na buy our music , and then we do n't make any money . does that make sense ? okay . so , tessa , why do n't you go and get comfortable behind the mic ? you , ana , take a seat next to tim at the console , and we 're just gon na run through it . just gon na take it easy . tessa : okay . devon : okay ? tessa : yeah . devon : tim , you can go ahead and do your thing , but just get & levels because we 're not gon na record anything right now . all right ? ana : what about me ? devon : you can watch and learn , grasshopper . ana : cute . devon : all right . tess ? tessa : yeah . devon : this is just a warm - up , okay ? we 're not gon na capture any of this , so just go at your own pace and get comfortable . tessa : okie doke . hold my hands 'cause i ca n't feel them hold onto what you believed in if i ca n't figure it out if i ca n't turn it around if i ca n't change devon : hey , tessa . hey , let 's start from the chorus and see how a take sounds , all right ? tessa : okay . i know i hurt you and i do n't know why devon : hey . your turn . tessa : when you 're the one to clear my mind you washed my hands though they stole from you sharon : victor 's desperate . rey : apparently . sharon : everything that he 's tried so far has only alienated adam . it 's driven him further away . victor does n't even know where adam is right now , and that has to be tearing him up inside . and i 've got to tell nick . i mean , the whole family needs to hear about this , but especially nick because of christian . he needs to be prepared . rey : of course . absolutely . sharon : [ sighs ] [ cellphone rings ] nick : how 's sin city ? sharon : how 'd you know i was here ? nick : mariah . you can imagine my surprise . look , i 'm not thrilled that rey dragged you into this mess . if dad wants to go all cloak - and - dagger ... sharon : nick , stop . you need to hear this . rey and i were getting close to finding answers , so close that victor showed up at our door , ready to tell us everything . nick : wait , wait , you saw dad ? you talked to him ? sharon : yes , and i have news . i wanted you to be the first , and when you hear it , you will know why . nick : all right , what is it ? sharon : the reason that he has been so secretive with nikki and with everyone -- the gambler that he 's been spotted with on the poker circuit , the one who calls himself `` spider `` ... it 's your brother , nick . it 's adam . nick : what ? sharon ... no . no , adam is dead . sharon : somehow , he survived . i ca n't explain it , but ... adam has suffered memory loss , and the psychiatrist that victor hired , that 's his specialty , but he has n't been able to help . adam does n't know victor . he does n't remember any of his past . nick : just how to play poker at a professional level ? sharon : well , yeah , i ca n't explain that , either . nick : look , it 's got to be a scam , some kind of ... some kind of look - alike , or something . sharon : no , nick . i do n't believe that . nick : what better way to get back at dad , to get leverage on him ? he has so much guilt and regret about what happened . sharon : well , maybe that 's part of the reason why victor 's so determined to unlock adam 's memory . he asked me to help . nick : you ? what are you gon na do ? get inside his head ? sharon , this is adam we 're talking about . he 'll just get inside yours . you know what he 's capable of . sharon : look , i realize you 're worried about christian and what adam 's return could mean . nick : of course i 'm worried about christian , but i 'm worried about you , too . and , despite what you 've said , i still do n't think this is legit . sharon : it 's adam . victor saw him . he looked into his eyes . it 's really him . i appreciate your concern and your caution , but ... nick : what , you 're just gon na do this anyway , risk everything ? how can this possibly help you ? sharon : i have n't given victor an answer yet . i 'll let you know what i decide . nick : yeah , you do that . rey : you okay ? sharon : nick 's worried and upset . he 's already imagining the worst . rey : i take it he 's not happy that you also might help victor . sharon : i 'm really torn about what to do . rey : why ?

[ gasps ] i forgot to tell you the best part . katherine got rachel on her 12th birthday -- the date inscribed on this box . baby , why are n't you more excited ? we 've discovered the secret ! colin : [ sighs ] nick : i do n't see what good is gon na come of it . sharon : i need to find out what i confided to her . mariah : confided to me about ... ? if you 're talking about this secret of yours , you already asked me about it . sharon : i know , and you told me nothing , but i understand . you 're afraid of the repercussions from victor . since we last spoke , i learned something else . before i was hospitalized , i mentioned phyllis to you . nick : phyllis ? sharon : in connection to whatever it is i 'm hiding . mariah : yeah . yeah , you 're right . nick : what does phyllis have to do with this ? and how did you even know she was involved ? sharon : i spoke to victor . victor : well , i was right about billy abbott , was n't i ? nikki : what if you were ? you put victoria through as much pain and heartache as he ever could . victor : if she had taken my advice , she would be married to a decent man right now instead of that loser and gambler billy abbott . nikki : victor , it was n't advice . you were manipulating her life . victor : because she is not doing what is best for her . she never learns . neither does our son . do you want him to be married to sharon again ? nikki : you know it do n't . victor : then why are you fighting me on this ? would you rather i sit back and wait for sharon 's secret to come out , that would surely destroy everyone ? i did what i had to do . nikki : my god , do you even hear yourself , victor ? `` i , `` `` i , `` `` i `` -- that 's all it is with you . they are not just your children . they are our children . victor : yes . nikki : we 're supposed to be partners . but you kept me in the dark again . we are not partners . we are far from it . colin : you know , jill , i do n't know . this -- you know , it seems a little farfetched . jill : i know . i know . i thought the same thing at first . but then i remembered how katherine used to go on about that dog . it was `` rachel this `` and `` rachel that . `` and i thought , `` citizen kane `` had the rosebud thing . colin : mm - hmm . jill : why not katherine with rachel ? [ glasses clink ] jill : cheers . colin : well , [ chuckles ] i do n't see anything to be cheery about just yet . i mean , after all , we really are no closer to katherine 's money . jill : hmm . yeah . well , i guess it 's a good thing you did n't marry me for that , huh ? colin : mm - hmm . jill : guess it 's a good thing you married me for love . 'cause we got plenty of that . colin : ah . uh ... we should n't be quite so hasty . jill : well , then , honey , i can go as slow as you want . colin : well , [ chuckles ] yeah , while i 'm thinking about it , we should n't be so quick to give up on -- on the big payday . jill : you really think it could lead us somewhere ? colin : we owe it to ourselves to try . i mean , the more money that we got , the more money i can spend on you . jill : wow . what a romantic . colin : step one -- we got to get on the dog 's tail . jill : tail ? colin : trail . jill : trail . and where would that lead , do you think ? colin : well , you know , dog -- doggies bury bones . maybe -- maybe he buried a treasure chest . jill : yeah , but , see , the only trouble with that is katherine did n't have a treasure when she was a little girl . colin : good point . jill : unless -- no . that would n't work either . colin : what ? jill : well , i was just thinking that when she grew up and did get the treasure , maybe she buried it with rachel 's body , but then i remembered that poor rachel was cremated . colin : scattered to the wind , huh ? jill : yeah . unless ... colin : what ? jill : ... katherine kept the ashes . colin : who kepts the -- who keeps dog ashes ? jill : people do it all the time . they keep ashes . honey , i got to tell you . i think katherine pointed me in rachel 's direction for a reason . and i have a hunch when we find that urn , we 're gon na hit the jackpot . colin : maybe it 's under our noses . jill : no , it would n't be here . i would have found it . colin : well , uh , in the basement . huh ? jill : or the attic . colin : you take the high road , and i 'll take the low road , and i 'll be counting diamonds before you . jill : [ laughs ] [ sighs ] oh , my god . that 's what you think . okay , sweetheart . you want to start our marriage with lies and leaving me out of your game ? two can play at that . victor : why do you want me to be something that i 'm not ? i have n't changed since the day you and i got married . yet you seem to be continually surprised by my actions . nikki : look , you 're not a saint , and i 'm not asking you to be a saint . victor : oh , really ? nikki : i just worry that this time you 've gone too far -- beyond the point of return . i know that i will never look at you the same . victor : sweetheart , i had to take extraordinary measures to deal with a very dangerous woman , and i found the means , all right ? nikki : yeah . cassie . victor : and if cassie had done her damn job , sharon would be out of our lives . instead , she still poses a great danger . nick : why would you talk to my dad about this ? sharon : i had to . i had to find out what he knew , which did n't turn out to be much . nick : except the part about phyllis . sharon : he said that cassie -- that mariah heard me say that phyllis knew what i was keeping from you . nick : what else did you hear from sharon ? mariah : nothing . that 's all there is . nick : except the part about phyllis . look , i do n't believe you . this woman is not gon na help you . she may look like cassie , but she is not on your side . sharon : okay , whether she is or not , i need five minutes with her . i want to talk to her alone . victoria : the woman who posed as cassie is tyler 's ex - fiancée ? abby : mariah the pariah . victoria : how did dad hook up with her ? abby : oh , she slithered her way into town to try and lure tyler back , which is never gon na happen , and then crossed paths with dad . victoria : and he saw how much she looks like cassie . abby : and the rest is history . victoria : huh . abby : you know , i do n't usually feel sorry for sharon , but to lose your memory because your brain got zapped ? victoria : [ chuckles ] yeah , it 's unimaginable . abby : yeah . i - i always knew mariah was a piece of work , but she 's more than that . she 's dangerous , and that 's where you come in . victoria : me ? what do i have to do with this ? abby : i 'll tell you , but first , i want to know if you 're feeling any better , 'cause , to be honest , you kind of look like hell . billy : chelsea , i do n't need you to tell me that vicki is upset . okay , i know that she 's upset . in fact , guess what , i 'm upset , too . chelsea : will you -- will you just shut up and listen to me , please , for a second ? billy : no , i get it , okay ? you want to help me because i helped you the other night with connor when he was sick . but you do n't owe me anything . i did what i did with no strings attached . because contrary to popular belief , i 'm not a totally despicable guy . so , thank you for coming by , and we 'll do this again some other time . chelsea : no , no . this is n't about paying you back , okay ? [ sighs ] or maybe it is . god knows there are plenty of other places i 'd rather be right now . all i can say is i came here because ... i think i can help you -- you and victoria . nick : all right . i 'll give you some time alone . but i wo n't be far . mariah : i guess i wo n't be getting a christmas present from him anytime soon . sharon : can you blame him for being so angry ? but there 's a way you can make up for this . mariah : who says i want to make up for it ? sharon : i know that you checked in on me at the hospital , and you would n't have done that unless you felt some level of regret . mariah : it does n't matter what i feel . i ca n't help you . sharon : all i 'm asking is for you to tell me exactly what i said about phyllis and my secret . mariah : victor already gave you that information . sharon : you do n't know anything more ? mariah : no . and , believe me , i tried my hardest to get it out of you . who is this phyllis , anyway ? is she a friend of yours or something ? sharon : oh , not exactly . phyllis had an affair with nick when we were married . and then she got pregnant with nick 's daughter summer . only years later , we find out that nick is n't really her father . it 's complicated . mariah : yeah , no kidding . well ... [ sighs ] do n't you think it 's weird that the only woman that knows your secret is the woman who messed around with your husband ? sharon : yes . very . that 's one of the reasons why it 's so important that i figure this out . is n't there anything else you can tell me ? victoria : it 's not really worth getting into . just a little tired . abby : i guess i would be , too , if i were in your situation . victoria : let 's talk about yours and what i can do to help you . abby : okay . well , as my matron of honor , i want you to do anything it takes to make sure that mariah does n't do anything to spoil my wedding . victoria : would she even try now that we 've got our eye on her ? abby : [ chuckles ] i would n't put anything past her . and she has another thing coming if she thinks she 's gon na walk all over me to get to tyler . victoria : i 'm sure you can stand your ground . abby : [ chuckles ] he 's totally worth it , vicki . i think what happened to his mom all those years ago made him decide that when he fell in love , he was gon na cherish the woman in his life . he 's so sweet and caring , and he would do anything for me . which is pretty great , 'cause i can be high - maintenance sometimes . victoria : no . not you . i would n't think that for a second . abby : oh , shocking , i know . but tyler thinks a woman who knows her own mind is sexy . we really are the perfect match . i ca n't wait to move in together and throw family get - togethers and parties with friends and have babies and ... grandbabies and grow old together . that 's my dream , and i 'm not gon na let anyone ... take it from me . i - i am -- i am so sorry . victoria : [ sniffles ] abby : foot - in - mouth disease strikes again . victoria : [ crying ] no . it 's okay . it 's okay . listen , i do n't want to censor you just because billy and i are separated , but ... could we just do this another time ? you 're right . i really -- i do n't feel well right now . billy : my head is pounding . so whatever you have to say , just write it on a piece of paper , and i 'll read it in the morning . chelsea : do you want to get back together with victoria or do n't you ? billy : yes , but i am sick and tired of everybody coming over here , badgering me with advice about how to save my relationship . i have tried it all , chelsea . and none of it works . in fact , if anything , it 's made it worse . chelsea : this is different , billy . billy : why ? ! huh ? i mean , do you have a degree in marriage counseling or something ? ! and no offense , but i am [ chuckles ] never gon na listen to anything that you say . especially since the only reason vicki and i split was because of your beloved husband . chelsea : seriously ? adam made you sleep with another woman ? billy : you 're damn right he did . if i was n't so desperate over delia 's death , none of this would have happened . it 's all on adam . nikki : i hate to hear you talk like this , because it sounds like you 're gearing up for another attack . victor : sweetheart , if someone makes a move against my family , i will come after them . nikki : victor , when are you going to stop trying to prove to yourself that you 're a good father ? victor : i do n't have to prove a damn thing . nikki : no , you do n't . that 's exactly my point . you do n't have to prove it anymore ! you were a wonderful father . you gave those kids everything , and you fought as fiercely as anyone could for them . but lately , it 's been so fiercely that -- that you seem to have lost a side of yourself . i do n't know . i do n't know what 's happened to you . what -- what happened to the wonderful father who taught them how to play chess , taught them how to ride a horse , how to -- how to play soccer ? where is that wonderful , caring father ? where did he go , and why did he go ? did it have something to do with adam ? victor : what the hell does adam have to do with this ? nikki : did he disappoint you so much that you seem to have lost your sensitivity ? it turned out that -- victor : will you stop your psychobabble right now and just come home with me where you belong ? ! nikki : i can not ! [ voice breaking ] i ca n't . i have to stay here . i love you , but i have to stay here . victor : come here . you belong with me , as i belong with you , okay ? nikki : i need to think . [ breathing shakily ] just let me think . victor : just tell me that all of your words , all of your criticism , all of your recriminations mean nothing , that this is what you want -- that you want us to be together . nikki : victor ... of course that 's what i want . i will always want it . but right now , what i want and what i need are two different things . chelsea : you are so full of it . are you actually saying it 's adam 's fault you could n't keep your pants zipped ? billy : he killed my little girl . chelsea : yeah , i know . it was terribly unfair and terribly tragic , but that is where adam 's responsibility ends . the only person responsible for your marriage falling apart , billy , is you . and you 're the only person who can save it . i am standing here giving you an opportunity to do that , all right ? take it or leave it . billy : okay . so , go on . say what you 're gon na say . [ door opens ] abby : billy , i am so glad i caught you . i have to tell you what happened . oh . i 'm sorry . i - i did n't realize you had company . hi , chelsea . chelsea : hi , abby . abby : do you mind if i talk to my uncle ? it 's -- it 's kind of important . chelsea : go ahead . i 'm done here . billy : [ chuckles ] after all that , you 're just gon na leave ? i mean , i said i would listen . chelsea : all the signs are telling me to keep my mouth shut . i 'm just glad i realized it before it 's too late . abby : what was that all about ? billy : [ sighs ] mariah : there 's nothing left to say . i 've told you everything that i know , i promise . why do n't you ask phyllis ? sharon : i ca n't . she 's in a coma . some sort of accident , apparently . mariah : well , then you 're probably not gon na get much out of her , then . sharon : no . you know , the answers i 'm looking for -- they are locked inside of my head . i just wish there was someone who could help me get them out . mariah : do n't look at me . i 'm not a hypnotist . and your five minutes are up . i 've got to run . hey . you can stop worrying now . nick : how did it go ? was mariah any help ? sharon : yeah , she was a big help , even if she did n't realize it . colin : jill ! you up here ? ! no dead doggies in the -- in the basement . but i did find a rather nice bottle of cabernet . jill : colin , come here ! colin : did you find rachel ? jill : well , what 's left of her . colin : ooh , we could be in the money . jill : oh , keep your fingers crossed , huh ? colin : okay . yeah . yeah . any - anything ? jill : no , not yet . colin : well , dig deeper . jill : well , i 'm gon na ruin my manicure . colin : oh , please . give it to me . jill : okay . ah ! ah ! ah ! ah - choo ! colin : gesundheit . jill : oh , honey ! i 'm so sorry . i - i must be allergic to ashes . colin : uh , my lucky day . jill : oh , sweetie , do n't move . do n't move , okay ? i 'm gon na go and get you a nice wet towel . colin : mm - hmm . [ coughs ] ugh . [ sighs ] billy : i have no idea what that was all about . chelsea comes running in here all gung ho about some life - changing news , and then it 's like , `` never mind . `` abby : well , it gives me the chance to tell you my news . i just saw victoria , and she was very -- billy : she 's upset ? abby : yeah . how did you know ? billy : [ chuckles ] it 's a lucky guess . abby : i was talking to her about getting married and having babies and all that stuff , and out of nowhere , she just lost it . billy : what do you mean she lost it ? how ? abby : she started crying , and then she asked me to leave . i did n't want to , but i felt like if i stayed , she 'd just get even more worked up . billy : that was probably a wise decision . abby : [ sighs ] but think about it . she 's over there all alone , sad , vulnerable , nostalgic about the good ol ' days with the husband that she loves so much -- the husband that she would probably take back if he just went over there and put his arms around her and promised that he would never fool around again . billy : i 've tried that , abby . abby : then try again . and again , if you have to . billy : i know vicki . she 's just gon na dig her heels in even more . i know there 's a way to fix this , i just have n't found it yet . chelsea : i know it 's late , but ... i did n't want this to wait until morning . victoria : did n't want what to wait ? what 's going on ? chelsea : i just came from seeing billy . victoria : you did n't tell him that i 'm pregnant , did you ? chelsea : no . victoria : [ sighs ] chelsea : i intended to , but in the end , i backed down . victoria : why ? what changed your mind ? chelsea : you did . i started thinking about how you kept my confidence when i was pregnant with connor and i wanted to keep it from adam . i figured i owed you the same courtesy . victoria : thank you . chelsea : you may be relieved now , victoria ... but a secret like yours wo n't stay secret for long . trust me . something like this -- it always has a way of coming out . nikki : victor , i would love to be home with you , cuddled up on the couch , listening to music , just enjoying each other 's company . victor : well , then what are you waiting for ? nikki : if you pressure me , you 're gon na get a response , and you 're not gon na like it . i 'm sorry . victor : you belong with me . but i 'm not gon na beg you . [ rattling ] nikki : oh , god . [ glass clinking ] nikki : [ slams ] oh , god , help me . [ sighs ] what 's happening ? sharon : so , i asked mariah about phyllis , but she denied knowing anything . nick : well , of course she did . but before she walked away , she said something , and for her , it was probably just a throw away , but it gave me an idea . nick : what 's that ? sharon : i want to be hypnotized . colin : jill ! could you hurry up with that towel ? ! come on . communing with the dead is one thing , but this is absurd . jill ! [ sighs ] forget it . i 'll do it myself . [ doorknob rattles ] colin : oh , great . [ doorknob rattling ] colin : jill ! jill ! the door 's jammed on your side . can you undo it , please ? jill ! jill ! [ coughs ] [ pounds on door ] jill : [ softly ] you better make yourself comfortable , lover . 'cause it might be a while ... a long while . [ pounding continues ] colin : jill ! jill ! [ pounding continues ] [ next_on ] victor : what the hell are you doing here ? billy : well , good morning to you , too . victor : i asked what you 're doing here . avery : i just want this whole thing to be over with ! austin : you mean quit the show ? nikki : i will see you very soon . | nick and sharon take a walk in the park and discuss faith and the movie that she was watching . nick and sharon also discuss their relationship , which sharon does n't want to go forward with it . nick and sharon discuss the secret that she can not remember . mariah walks into the park and , upon seeing nick and sharon , starts to leave but sharon stops her . victoria imagines how it would be when she tells billy that she is expecting his child , but he ruins the moment by asking her if the baby is his . there is a knock at the door and it is abby . sharon , nick and mariah argue over what mariah did to try to drive sharon insane . mariah tells nick to let it go already . nikki and victor go up to her hotel room to discuss things . victor lets nikki know that ian ward has a room right down the hall from her . victor tries to reconcile with nikki , but all she wants to talk about is how victor hurt victoria and nick by his recent actions . chelsea arrives at billy 's to tell him that victoria is pregnant , but billy does n't want to hear what she has to say . jill shows colin a picture of a dog and says that it 's the clue to the music box . sharon asks for a few moments alone with mariah to talk to her , but she insists that she does n't know anything else that she needs to ask phyllis . |
avery : do n't stop . one more . you have one more . one more . come on . that 's it ! that 's it ! you did it ! joe : we did it . i got this down . you know what that means ? avery : what 's that ? joe : you can go home to dylan . dylan : sharon ? sharon ! michael : oh , that was a quick trip . avery did n't come back with you ? dylan : uh , she 's still busy with joe . what 's with the suitcase ? michael : well , i 'm officially off guard duty . dylan : where 's sharon ? michael : sharon is behind bars and probably gon na be stuck there until she goes on trial for murder . christine : or could it be that you 're letting your feelings for your son cloud your judgment ? paul : you know , you would n't think that if you saw the way i shut dylan down when he brought in the evidence . christine : then why are you suggesting it ? paul : i 've spoken to sharon . christine : [ scoffs ] she violated bail . what does that tell you ? paul : perhaps she is a woman who is convinced of her own innocence . christine : [ sighs ] christine : no paul , no dylan . just you and me , woman to woman . sharon : you looking for a confession , christine ? christine : tell me why i should believe you . lily : yeah , you got that `` new c.f.o . of newman - abbott `` look going on . i like it . neil : [ laughs ] thank you . yeah , well , i - i guess it was time , you know . it was time to clear everything up in my life , move on . lily : new haircut , new job . how 's it going so far ? neil : honestly , i forgot just how much i loved getting in there and getting the job done . on the flipside , i forgot how the office politics are like a full - time job . lily : you and hilary ? neil : yeah . our paths rarely cross now . i 'm just trying to figure out what this partnership is between jack and victor . lily : are they constantly fighting ? neil : mm , surprisingly , not at all . as a matter of fact , i 'm starting to get the feeling that this is a train wreck waiting to happen . phyllis : hey , you . you finally opened those gorgeous blue eyes , and your first word is `` victor . `` honey ... honey ? it 's okay . you 're all right . you 're in the hospital . do you remember ? there 's been a car accident . no , baby , it 's okay . kyle 's fine . he 's just got a bump and a bruise . he leads a charmed life , that kid . i need you to relax , though , okay ? no more worrying about victor . ashley : victor , how are jack and kyle ? victor : kyle walked away from the accident with a few scratches . summer is looking after him now . billy : and jack ? victor : phyllis is in there with him . we 're hoping for the best . billy : is that really what you 're hoping for ? victor : what are you alluding to ? billy : well , your greed . victor : you 're a boor . ashley : i think we all know that if jack does n't recover , the new company is all yours . joe : [ sighs ] look , you ca n't blame the guy for him wanting you to come home . avery : okay , stop stalling and let 's get back to work , please . joe : besides , did n't you tell him this was temporary ? avery : yes , it is temporary , but it 's not up to dylan to say when that time is up . joe : no , it 's up to me . you need to leave . besides , i do n't want your guilt keeping you here . avery : do n't start that again . joe : and i do n't want to be someone 's charity case . avery : neither guilt nor charity is keeping me here ! joe : then what is it ? avery : dylan ! joe : what 's going on , avery ? avery : dylan 's top priority right now is sharon -- protecting her , helping her , proving her innocence . and my concern is helping you become more self- sufficient . joe : this is me being self - sufficient . i 'm staying here , and you 're going home to genoa city tonight . avery : why are you pushing me away ? joe : because i do n't want you here , avery . dylan : you let sharon go to a party ? ! michael : i did n't let anyone go anywhere . i took a nap , a short one . and when i woke up , she was gone . dylan : but that 's a violation of her bail agreement ! michael : i 'm well aware of that , dylan ! dylan : michael , you 're her attorney ! you 're responsible for her sticking to the terms ! michael : you saw her this afternoon ! she was absolutely convinced that all the charges would be dropped , that it would be obvious to everyone that she was innocent . dylan : she 's -- she 's not thinking straight . michael : yeah , well , i guess that 's how she ended up at the underground with nick , her kids , and -- wait for it -- the chief of police . dylan : oh , no . paul was there ? michael : yeah , she just waltzed in there , sure of her innocence , ready to reclaim her life . it was stupid , but i can understand it . dylan : i guess she has been feeling pretty defeated . michael : well , sometimes you just need something to get through the night . dylan : look , i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry . this is not on you . i should n't have gone to chicago . i should have been here keeping an eye on sharon . i 'm sorry . michael : well , we might as well lock up and head out . there 's nothing we can do until morning for sharon . dylan : oh , i 'm not waiting that long . sharon : i 've already been through this with paul . christine : and my husband 's one hell of a cop , but he 's also a dad . sharon : are you saying that because of dylan ? christine : well , i think he believes if his son has faith in you , that there must be a good reason . sharon : dylan knows i did n't do this . christine : how could dylan know that based on your past behavior ? sharon : right . yeah . because everyone knows i 'm messed up , medicated , and self - absorbed . one thing i 'm not , christine , is a killer . christine : [ sighs ] this will be the first case that i will take to trial since , uh ... sharon : since you lost your baby . i 'm sorry . christine : thank you . sharon : i understand that kind of pain , losing a child . and you should know that i would do anything to avoid that feeling for the rest of my life , which is why i could never have murdered the beautiful , young woman my son , noah , was about to marry . i know what her parents are going through right now . it 's awful . and i could never be responsible for creating that kind of pain . christine : well , the evidence says otherw -- sharon : have you ever asked yourself why there is so much evidence , christine ? i mean , i may be a few things that i 'm not proud of , but i 'm not stupid enough to leave my fingerprints on a tire iron and then leave it laying around for the police to find . and do n't you think someone would have noticed me sneaking in here and erasing more information from a police - department computer ? how could i have even done that ? do you really think i 'm capable of that ? ashley : you have to admit , the timing is pretty perfect for you . the ink 's not even dry on the new merger . victor : i saved your brother 's ass in the rubble of the underground . billy : luckiest day of your life . victor : well , in spite of what you may think , your brother and i constructed not only a merger , but we forged a kind of friendship . if you do n't mind , i 'm going to look after him , okay ?

victor : mm - hmm , among others , yeah . neil : the merger ? victor : exactly . he never got to sign all the documents , you know . neil : the paperwork is incomplete , and jack is in a coma ? victor : if he dies ... the merger between newman and jabot never took place . neil : i am very familiar with what is and is n't in that agreement . victor : right , but , you know ... it 's the last page that concerns me . neil : [ clears throat ] victor : no doubt billy and ashley are planning to make some kind of move . if they realize there are no signatures affixed to this contract , what 's gon na prevent them from scuttling the deal and reclaiming jabot ? neil : that would be a smart plan . victor : but we have to be smarter , neil , and bolder ... and make sure that jack 's dream of a merger between newman and jabot is realized . neil : are you saying that someone should forge jack 's signature ? victor : i did n't say that . i just heard you say it . cane : so , i , um ... i put lauren in a taxi . sweetheart , i did n't mean to hurt you before . i did n't . i do n't want you to think that i 'm putting her welfare above yours , 'cause i 'm not doing that . lily : i know . it 's probably out of line for even thinking . cane : what are you thinking ? lily : you know what . cane : honey , listen to me . hey . she 's a business associate of mine . that 's all this is . and she 's a friend . i hate to see her hurt . but what i hate more than that -- lily : i know . i 'm probably overreacting . cane : i know i have to earn your trust . i know this , but to do that , you have to give it to me , baby . lily : i 'm trying . cane : so , do you want to go upstairs , like we talked about ?

[ scoffs ] how messed up is that ? [ cell phone chimes ] summer : oh . i 'm sorry , fen . i really have to take this . i 'm gon na be late . fenmore : your new boyfriend . summer : no , actually , i have -- fenmore : forget it . you know , you 're just like every other girl who drops you the second an older guy pays any attention . summer : you 're jealous that i 'm in a relationship with somebody else . fenmore : oh , come on ! kyle does not do relationships , all right ? he 'll hang on long enough to get exactly what he wants , and then he 's gon na move on to the next girl who 'll just buy into him . summer : that is not true , fen . fenmore : you do n't matter to kyle , summer . and you never will . summer : [ scoffs ] phyllis : well , i guess i - i could pretend not to hear what you just said , but let 's be honest . um ... i heard it . jack : well , you were n't supposed to . kyle : i 'm thinking this might be my cue to leave . jack : i 'm kind of thinking the same thing . kyle : i will see you ... when i see you . phyllis : so ... you 're planning to propose to me , as in down on one knee , as in an engagement ring , as in till death do us part -- of course , until i destroy it and you run to divorce court in six months ? jack : no ring , and getting down on my knee now with the bad back and -- phyllis : okay . then i 'm confused . jack : so was kyle . i told him i wanted to surprise you , and he got ahead of me . phyllis : how far ahead ? jack : you do n't have to worry about a thing . i am so happy you 're living here with me now . i would not jinx that by asking you to do something that you 're not ready to do . phyllis : so what 's this surprise about ? jack : you 'll have to come back and find out . what are you doing here anyway ? do n't you have a meeting ? phyllis : yeah . um , i forgot my , uh -- my charts and my graphs . it 's hard to impress a client when you do n't have them . jack : aha . so do you think maybe you left those on purpose so we could pick up where we left off this morning ? phyllis : if i say yes , will you tell me what the surprise is ? jack : the sooner the meeting 's over , the sooner all will be revealed . neil : here you go , honey . this ought to warm you up . here you go . leslie : he should 've stayed in prison . tyler : what ? leslie : if he was still in prison , none of this would 've happened , and dad would still be alive . neil : oh , come on . you do n't know that . leslie : why could n't i just listen to you and leave it alone like you told me to ? i mean , he had just had a heart attack , and here i go , hammering him with questions about some woman from his past ? tyler : do n't do that , all right ? if you want to blame someone , blame me . i 'm the one who pushed him to stay and make things right with us . maybe he was n't ready for all that . maybe he 'd have been better off on his own . neil : no . no . being here with his children -- that 's what was best . that 's what gus wanted . but i can tell you just as sure as i 'm sitting in this chair that that man -- the last few weeks of his life , it was heaven compared to the last 12 years that he spent in jail , because you were willing to be a family again . leslie : i mean , if you can call it a family . we 're no closer now to knowing what kind of man our dad was than we ever were . lily : so , i could n't find humphrey . [ laughing ] lily : and then ... i see charlie 's cowboy hat moving across the floor . [ cell phone chimes ] cane : do n't worry about it . go . i want to hear the rest of the story . lily : no , you should see who that is . cane : actually , i 'm quite surprised that your phone has been so quiet , 'cause normally , you 'd get 30 or 40 e - mails from tyler by now about the campaign . lily : i actually have n't heard from him once today . cane : maybe he 's hanging out with all those models . lily : [ chuckles ] cane : but go ahead . i want to hear the story about the cowboy hat . lily : that could really be important . cane : what is more important than stories about cowboy hats and our children ? lily : oh , i do n't know -- just putting a roof over their heads and food in their mouths ? you know , simple stuff . cane : hmm . you know what ? that 's a good point . let me check this message . oh , it 's , uh -- it 's katherine . let me go and check in with her , all right ? just give me one sec . excuse me , baby . [ cell phone chimes ] neil : so if your father had died a few months ago , how would you have felt ? tyler : probably not much of anything , i guess . neil : come on , tyler -- you would 've partied all night long . you would 've cheered the fact that the man who murdered your mother was finally where he belonged . and look at you both . what does that tell you ? i mean , you know he was n't a murderer . you know he was n't the monster that two scared little kids thought he was . leslie : yeah . if anything , he seemed kind of pitiful . neil : he had a lifetime of regrets , i 'm sure , but the biggest regret being that he was n't a better father . i - i watched him recently . he was desperate to try to change that . leslie : and we did n't make it easy on him . neil : you were angry . you were hurt . you still are -- with gus ... hell , even yourself . especially yourself . tyler : yeah -- for not listening to my gut , for getting too close to the guy . everything inside of me was saying , `` stay away . this is gon na end bad . `` you know what i know about my dad ? that no matter how hard i tried , it did n't matter what i 'd do . i knew it . i knew he was gon na leave again . jack : you know what she likes better than i do ! so quadruple it , and get everything here by 5 : 00 . great . thanks . traci : hmm . what 's the occasion ? jack : traci ! traci : [ laughs ] jack : you little sneak ! why did n't you tell me you were coming ? traci : oh , i wanted it to be a surprise . jack : well , you got me there ! traci : good . we 'll consider that retribution for the surprise i got when i heard you were getting back together with phyllis . jack : ashley sent you . traci : [ laughs ] and , uh , not a moment too soon , from what it sounds like . both : ohh ! michael : gosh , i 'm so sorry ! phyllis : [ laughs ] that would 've been funny at my business meeting -- trying to decide whether the coffee stain was , uh , a - a puffy cloud or an ax murderer . michael : well , i vote for the latter . phyllis : [ chuckles ] i like a puffy cloud . michael : hmm . phyllis : puffy cloud always . michael : things going that good for you ? phyllis : yeah . i went on vacation . i moved in with jack . michael : wow . okay . congratulations . that 's terrific . phyllis : yeah , it 's so great . it 's really great . yeah , we -- we managed to find the balance between love , fun , and salty caramel ice cream -- not in that order . michael : [ chuckles dryly ] phyllis : fun . michael : yeah , fun . wow . it 's nice to know that some people can find their way back to one another . phyllis : i know you and lauren were having problems . i just figured maybe you worked it out by now . michael : while you were moving in with jack , i was moving out . phyllis : i 'm sorry . michael : well , you know , that 's what you get for not calling me for a week . phyllis : does this have to do with all the stuff with fen and the bullying ? michael : oh , so much more has happened since then . phyllis : how did lauren take it when you moved out ? michael : oh . well ... she was too wrapped up in her new boyfriend to care . carmine : but does n't that tell you something ? i mean , if your impulse is to be with me -- lauren : i ca n't act on every impulse i have . carmine : those impulses are what keep you alive . what do you think lake geneva was about ? lauren : [ sighs ] carmine : a few days with me , and you were good to go again . lauren : it does n't erase my problems . they 're here every time i came back . and now i 'm gon na deal with them . carmine : just how michael 's dealing with them , too -- like , packing his bags and leaving ? i mean , hell , if he can do it , why ca n't we ? lauren : the only reason that he left is because i was unavailable for him , and because every time he looked at me or touched me ... all i could think about was -- carmine : us ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] i want ... my life back . i want my family back ! and i 'm gon na do everything i can to make that happen . paul : then you need to end this now . traci : all right ! how serious is this ? when ashley got back from her trip , she was ... pretty upset , but that 's been a few weeks ago now . jack : and a lot can happen in a few weeks , huh ? traci : so , is that the answer to my question ? jack : the answer to your question is , phyllis makes me happy . traci : [ sighs ] ah , where have i heard that before ? jack : traci , it 's different . traci : no , do n't you dare tell me it 's gon na be different this time ! jack : it is different . i am different ... all thanks to phyllis . she got me through rehab ! she saved my life ! traci : all right . so , then , that would make you feel grateful , naturally -- jack : i wish people could stop saying that ! it 's more than gratitude . she 's a woman i ca n't seem to forget ! i keep going back to her again and again , because no one and nothing else makes sense . she 's part of who i am , traci . and if you ca n't accept that , you might as well turn around and go home . traci : [ scoffs ] well , i do n't think that 'll be necessary . jack , if phyllis makes you happy , well , then , i 'm happy for you . phyllis : i got to be honest . it sounds suspicious . michael : you think ? i mean , if it was just the man 's voice in the background , i could write that off . but there 's the cards and the note . phyllis : yeah . yeah . um ... even if there is somebody , it does n't mean it 's serious . people have weak moments , so i hear . michael : yeah . you would n't know anything about that , huh ? phyllis : no . you know , some guy starts flirting with lauren , right ? makes her feel good . she has problems at home . she talks to this guy -- michael : you want to spare me the details ? ! phyllis : it just could be over . that 's my point . michael : i suppose it could be . phyllis : okay , but do n't suppose , and talk to her . michael : lauren 's not gon na admit anything to me . phyllis : sneaking around -- it chips away at your soul . you start wishing somebody would find out . telling the truth is so much easier than living a lie . lauren : i - i know what this looks like . but , uh , you know , i - i was thinking about having a party and -- and needed bartender quotes , and -- and that 's why i asked carmine over . paul : oh ! oh . so i guess you 're all out of the best excuses ? carmine : [ sighs ] look , dude . it 's not what it seems , okay ? we 're just friends . paul : you 're not anything anymore . now get the hell out , `` dude . `` carmine : says the guy who walked in uninvited . lauren : carmine . carmine : look . no . you do n't have to take this . lauren : can you just -- can you go , please ? carmine : yeah . fine . i 'll give you a call about those quotes . paul : [ scoffs ] lauren : [ sighs ] paul : the quotes ? really ? do i look that stupid ? lauren : i 'm not having an affair . paul : okay . lauren : i broke it off . i told him i was n't gon na see him anymore . paul : so you risk your marriage for that guy ? come on , lauren . i do n't care how great the sex is . lauren : that is none of your business ! paul : that 's too bad . you know what ? friends look out for each other . they tell them things they do n't want to hear . they try and stop them from making mistakes . come on , lauren . this is n't you . this is n't the life you built for yourself ! lauren : [ sighs ] paul : why would you do something like this ? lauren : [ voice breaking ] he was someone to talk to . when michael and i were barely speaking ... carmine listened . and , you know , for a while , i thought that he was just a simple , safe place . h - how do you go back ? i mean , how do you -- how do you get rid of this guilt ? paul : i 'm not sure that you can . lauren : you 're -- you 're not gon na tell michael , right ? i do not want him to hear about this . paul : i 'm not gon na tell michael anything . lauren : [ sighs ] paul : you are . cane : i will give cindy a call -- thank you -- and remind her . what time do you want to make it ? hey . hey . honey . baby . lily : yes . cane : hello ? lily : yes . hi . cane : where did you go ? lily : um , i - i was just , uh , thinking about the fitting . but what were you saying ? cane : what time do you want to make movie night tonight ? lily : mm . i do n't know , because , unlike some big shots i know , i do n't make my own hours . cane : you know , speaking of big shots , i happen to know one that has a very soft spot for you that would love to let you off work at least an hour early so you can come home and spend some time with his grandkids . lily : i know , but unfortunately , no matter what my dad says , i 'm gon na have to do double the work , since tyler is m.i.a . cane : mm . yep . leslie : i mean , he really did n't have much . but i suppose he could wear that suit he wore to court . i mean , but we 'd have to take it to the cleaners , which is fine , because we have to decide on music and -- and flowers . um , what do you think about lilies and chrysanthemums ? those are pretty standard for a funeral , right ? tyler : yeah , i guess . whatever . leslie : or roses . roses are always beautiful . we just have to decide on a color ... or colors . any preference ? tyler : i ca n't do this . [ door opens , closes ] leslie : only other funeral he went to was my mom 's . well , you know , i mean , i handled that one by myself . no reason i ca n't ... do the same with this one . neil : leslie , you wo n't have to . i say ... white and yellow ... roses ... and , considering your dad 's circumstance , um ... `` i 'm free `` for the hymn . leslie : thank god for you , neil . neil : does gus own a cemetery plot ? leslie : um , uh , not that i 'm aware of . no . neil : okay . listen , sweetheart . um , we could ... take him back to milwaukee , bury him ... next to your mother , and that way , you and tyler ... can visit both graves at the same time . bad idea ? leslie : no , no . no , it 's fine . i just , uh ... uh , when -- when my mom died and , uh , my dad was locked up ... tyler and i considered ourselves orphans . neil : mm - hmm . leslie : as far as we were concerned , both our parents were dead . you ever build a tent in your backyard and imagine that you were in a forest somewhere far , far away ? and , uh -- i mean , but you knew , if you suddenly heard a scary noise or got hungry in the middle of the night ... you could always go back inside , and you 'd be okay . neil : yeah . many times . leslie : yeah . tyler and i are still in that tent . the house is gone . we are really alone in the forest . neil : hey . i know exactly how you feel . leslie : did you lose your parents ? kyle : [ exhales sharply ] [ strained ] whoa ! what the hell , man ? fenmore : i thought you might need a spotter . kyle : back off , dude ! fenmore : stay away from summer ! kyle : this is about summer ? ! fenmore : if you want to sleep around , go take advantage of someone else . kyle : what are you talking about ? you need to get your facts straight before you hurt somebody ! fenmore : if you hurt her , it 's gon na get a lot worse than this . kyle : [ grunts ] all right . listen to me , you son of a -- carmine : whoa , whoa , whoa ! guys , guys , guys ! geez ! what 's wrong with you ? fenmore : he came after me ! carmine : just get out of here before i call the cops ! go on ! geez ! fenmore : i meant what i said . kyle : that boy is seriously messed up . lauren : i - i ca n't do that to michael . i -- i ca n't do that to him ! paul : do n't you think he already knows ? i mean , lauren , the guy just poured his guts out to me about his suspicions . and what do i do ? i talk him down . i tell him to give you the benefit of the doubt , that you love him . lauren : i do love him ! paul : then you need to be honest with him . you say you want your old life back . that lauren would put it all on the table and take what 's coming to her . you love michael ? then reach out to him ... and be honest . it 's gon na hurt him , yes . and you 're gon na feel like hell . but come on -- is n't that a hell of a lot better than -- than making a fool out of him ? does n't he deserve that much ? lauren : [ sniffles ] jack : hey ! all settled in ? traci : sort of . i went to my bedroom , and apparently , it 's taken . jack : oh , god . traci , i 'm sorry . we made that summer 's bedroom . traci : wait , phyllis ' daughter lives here ? jack : phyllis does , too . phyllis : all right . i 'm back , and i 'm ready -- hey . summer : hey ! i got your call , but i was on my way to a fitting , so i do n't have a lot of time to talk . kyle : do n't worry . this is n't gon na take long . it 's just not the kind of thing you tell somebody over the phone . summer : [ chuckles nervously ] i 'm -- i 'm not getting fired , am i ? i mean , i know i do n't have a lot of modeling experience , but i -- kyle : no , no , no , no , no . it 's about fen . summer : fen ? kyle : yeah . he , uh -- he freaked out on me earlier . summer : oh , my -- kyle : he got all possessive , and he warned me to stay away from you . summer : oh , my god . i 'm -- i 'm really sorry . i can not believe that he did that to you . kyle : i - i know i told you i thought he was n't a threat ... summer : mm - hmm ? kyle : ... but that kid is messed up . summer : yeah . i mean , actually , i was -- i was completely off about all of that stuff . okay -- see , his parents are breaking up , and i think that 's what 's making him do all this crazy and stupid stuff , which i totally relate to . so , it 's just a bunch of built - up rage , and he does n't know how to deal with it . kyle : yeah , that 's what worries me . i think you should do your best to avoid him . summer : well , i guess it 's a good thing that he thinks you 're my boyfriend . it 'll explain why you 're always around to look out for me . kyle : yeah . carmine : hey ! rocky !

dylan : [ sighs ] thanks for making breakfast . avery : you barely touched it . dylan : i 'm not really hungry yet . maybe we should just wrap it up and save it for later . avery : okay , really ? are we gon na do this ? are we gon na pretend like it 's just another morning ? dylan : is n't it ? avery : no , it 's not , dylan ! we have to talk about last night . dylan : we already talked . i got arrested because i let ian bait me . it was my mistake . avery : well , i 'm worried you 're gon na make a different mistake , one that 's much worse . nikki : well , you know , it could be nothing . i just thought that maybe you ought to check it out because , i - i do n't know , i just have been feeling a little weird , just -- just kind of weak and dizzy since last night . i know . i 'm so sorry to bother you , dr . costner . i just -- [ sighs ] well , yeah , i - i would feel better about that , too . thank you . i - i will see you very soon . ian : i could n't help overhearing you talking to your doctor . are you all right ? victor : you know , that 's a soccer ball . you know , when i grew up , as a little boy , well , i never had one of my own . yeah , i grew up in an orphanage . but i learned how to play soccer . i taught your daddy . one day , i 'm gon na teach you . what do you think ? huh ? chelsea : that 'd be great . especially since i 'm about as good with a soccer ball as i am with a power saw . victor : [ chuckles ] such an adorable boy . we had a great time together . chelsea : good . victor : yeah ! look at that ! oh ! chelsea : somehow i do n't think you came by just to kick the ball around with connor , so ... what 's the real reason you 're here ? victor : yeah . yes . like that . stitch : hey , max . i 'm sorry i ca n't be there with you today , champ . but i just want you to know i 'll be thinking about you while you 're blowing out your candles and making a wish . and i sure hope that wish comes true . i 'm even gon na make a wish myself . so , i 'll let you get back to your party . but just remember , daddy loves you , max . never forget that . happy birthday , champ . billy : see ? i told you i could do it . jill : how many fingers am i holding up ? billy : 17 , mom . jill : [ chuckles ] billy : come on . i 'm completely sober . jill : well , that makes a nice change from last night , does n't it ? billy : yeah , well , you can kiss the old billy abbott goodbye . this is the new and improved version . level - headed , responsible . jill : and capable of winning victoria back ? billy : yes , that 's the plan , mom , all right ? so you do n't need to come over out of the blue and check up on me . jill : oh , who says i was checking up on you ? besides , you needed a little friendly advice last night . billy : [ chuckles ] mom , your friendly advice is about as friendly as a komodo dragon . jill : excuse me ? billy : not that i do n't appreciate it . it 's just i need to handle my marriage in my own way . jill : if anyone understands that , it 's me . [ distant pounding ] billy : what the hell is that ? colin : jill ! open up , will ya ? ! i 've been in here all bloody night ! [ sighs ] [ sighs ] [ sighs ] stitch : sorry , it 's the best i could do under the circumstances . victoria : oh , no , you know , you do n't have to explain . i know exactly what it 's like to be away from your little boy on his birthday . stitch : want to share a cupcake ? victoria : it 's tempting . stitch : go on . live a little . i wo n't tell . victoria : [ laughs ] stitch : yeah . oh ! victoria : okay . to max . stitch : to max . mmm . amazing , huh ? max -- max does n't know what he 's missing . victoria : mnh - mnh . [ chuckles ] stitch : i 've been , uh ... i 've been making these videos for him ever since jenna took him to australia . i have no clue whether she 's shown them to him or not , but ... it reminds me of afghanistan . you know , we 'd be , uh , we 'd be out on patrol for days completely cut off from the rest of the world . at night , i 'd look up at the stars , and i 'd be missing my family like crazy , and i just -- i 'd tell myself that i 'd never take a loved one for granted again . you should have seen max when i finally got home . you know , he was this little rugrat , you know , and he could barely reach my knee . victoria : [ chuckles ] stitch : he 'd give me a salute . i just -- i broke down right there . that ripped my heart out . and it was n't long after that our unit ran into , uh ... victoria : i know that dylan was the only survivor . stitch : yeah . victoria : i can only imagine how hard that must have been for you , you know , not being there when it happened . stitch : i felt so guilty , and i still do . but i also feel lucky to be here and to have this great life and ... victoria : go on . stitch : [ scoffs ] i get tired of hearing myself sometimes . victoria : i do n't . stitch : maybe some other time . victoria : okay . um , i have to get going anyway . i just stopped by for some tea on my way to an appointment that i have , so ... stitch : see you around . victoria : okay . stitch : you know , victoria ... thanks for listening , especially since you asked me to back off . victoria : oh , that 's -- i mean , thank you for honoring that request . stitch : just remember , when you figure things out , i 'll be here . i 'm not going anywhere . [ chuckles ] billy : do you hear that ? jill : i - i have some workmen upstairs . they 're renovating the master bath . [ chuckling ] i do n't think katherine changed anything since before the truman administration . billy : [ chuckles ] jill : but listen , darling , we were talking about you and victoria . and i 'm very , very happy that you 're fighting for your marriage . it is worthwhile . billy : well , i wish you had a marriage worth fighting for . so , have you started divorce proceedings ? jill : it 's under control . billy : well , just hit him where it hurts like we talked about . jill : colin will curse the day he lied to me . [ pounding continues ] jill : you know what , billy , i know that you 've got a busy day ahead of you , so do n't let me keep you , darling . and would you kiss my little johnny for me ? mwah . billy : all right . i will . jill : okay . billy : all right . jill : okay . drive safe . billy : i will . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] jill : katherine , i know i never wanted your advice when you were alive ... but , boy , i sure could use it now . victor : [ laughs ] you know , you and i need to talk about something that we had alluded to before , but i sort of was reluctant to bring it up . i think it 's time to lay adam to rest . i do n't mean to pressure you . chelsea : you 're right . it 's time . it 's just , um ... the idea of saying goodbye forever . victor : maybe you can take some solace in the fact that you and i will be saying goodbye to him together , okay ? chelsea : i do n't think i could get through it otherwise . victor : you said you wanted a little , sort of intimate ceremony ? chelsea : yeah , i mean , there 's no point in making more of it . it 'll just be , you know , you and me , nikki . [ connor grunts ] victor : ooh ! uh , nikki will not be part of it . yes ! nikki : my welfare is none of your business . now get out of here . ian : oh , nikki , you ca n't blame me for being concerned . not only are you hurrying to see a doctor , but you 're staying here at the club instead of at home with your husband . nikki : i have no intention of discussing that with you or anything else . but i will point out that my husband has hired a security team to keep an eye on me , so it 's best if you keep your distance . ian : definitely no need for bodyguards . i 'm painfully aware my presence is unwelcome . nikki : and yet you returned to genoa city anyway . ian : i want to be near my son . nikki : i 'm sure dylan has made it very clear that he does n't want you to be near him . ian : i was hoping to be able to change that . nikki : [ scoffs ] ian : it would mean so much to me if i was able to help him . nikki : he does n't need any help . certainly not from you . ian : you must not know what happened . nikki : what ? ian : dylan was arrested last night . nikki : arrested ? for what ? ian : breaking and entering . my room here . but do n't worry . i did n't press charges . it 's a little late for tough love ... [ chuckles ] ... since i was denied the opportunity of raising him . but that young man has a short fuse , and i 'm afraid one day he 's gon na get himself in serious trouble . dylan : i 'm not looking for trouble . avery : [ sighs ] i want to believe that . and you know what ? i think you believe it in the moment , and then ian does something to provoke you , and then you go off the rails . dylan : all i did was let myself in his room to wait for him . avery : dylan , that 's against the law ! and then you threatened him on top of that ! dylan : there was no threat ! it was a warning ! there was no harm ! avery : okay , well , that 's up to the courts to decide . dylan : yeah , and we saw how well they did that . avery : [ sighs ] even still , you can not take this on yourself . dylan : i 'm trying to protect you , avery . avery : well , i do n't need your protection ! colin : jill ! esther ! anybody ! help ! [ pounding on door ] jill : yoo - hoo ! good morning ! colin : it 's -- it 's about time . i 've been in here all night . jill : aw , poor baby . do n't you like your new accommodations ? colin : why am i locked in here ? i mean , one minute we 're out looking for katherine 's lost treasure , and the next minute , i 'm locked up like an animal . jill : this should be old hat for you . i mean , this is not the first time one of your wives locked you up . colin : why do i get the feeling that i 've upset you ? jill : wow , they really make them perceptive down under . colin : look , jill , let me out of here , and i 'll make it right . jill : you ca n't make it right , colin . gold digger . colin : gold digger ? jill : do n't you try to deny it . i know that you only married me for my money . everything else was a lie . avery : i am very capable of taking care of myself . and besides , what happened ? i got a few nasty comments online and some anonymous flowers . big deal . dylan : no , it is a big deal considering who sent them . avery : what ? the flowers ? we have no proof that it was ian . [ knock on door ] avery : hang on . who is it ? austin : your favorite cameraman . avery : austin , hi . austin : hi . avery : did we have a meeting scheduled ? austin : uh , no . i was just hoping we could pick up where we left off yesterday , finish the episode . avery : uh , without a crew ? austin : we do n't need them . i mean , everything 's still set up . just , uh , need to point the camera and press record . avery : uh , yeah , you know , austin , this is n't really a good time right now . dylan : uh , you know what ? just go what you guys , uh , have to do . avery : dylan . dylan : no , it 's fine . i got to get to the coffeehouse anyway . avery : [ sighs ] okay . um , just give me a minute , okay ? austin : sure . listen , dylan , uh , i just thought you should be aware the producers were pretty pissed about having to stop shooting , time being money and all . dylan : yeah , uh , that could n't really be helped . austin : yeah , look , um , i know that you 're worried about these people that are hating on avery , but if it 's gon na be a problem for you -- dylan : it wo n't . not as long as avery stays safe . nikki : hey ! victoria ! victoria : mom , hi . nikki : what are you doing here ? victoria : uh , you know , it 's that time of year again . just doing my annual checkup . nikki : ah . victoria : what about you ? nikki : oh , i - i just saw dr . costner . victoria : you have n't had a flare - up , have you ? nikki : no , honey , it 's just low blood pressure . easily controlled with diet and relaxation . victoria : okay . well , this situation with dad ca n't be helping matters . have you talked to him since you moved out ? nikki : we spoke last night . he tried to convince me to come home , but i am still at the club . victoria : i ca n't say i blame you . nikki : i love that man so much , but everything he 's been doing lately is absolutely unforgivable , and he continues to justify it by saying that sharon is up to something and that time will bear him out . victoria : well , even if it does , his actions went way too far . nikki : you know , i really think that adam is at the heart of this . victoria : adam ? nikki : victor could n't prevent his death , so now he 's taking it to the other extreme and making sure nothing happens to his other son . victoria : that makes sense in a warped , victor newman kind of way . nikki : you should have seen his reaction when i called him on it . victoria : mom , you see , that 's why you 're here at the doctor . and i have half a mind to find dad and tell him -- nikki : no , no , no , no , no . you leave it alone now . the last thing you need is to get mixed up in our mess . victoria : yeah . right . because i have one of my own . nikki : how are you , anyway ? you still look as pale as you did yesterday . what 's going on ? chelsea : i understand that nikki was n't adam 's biggest fan , but she seemed so supportive when i mentioned the memorial service . victor : i know . come here ! come here ! there we go . you 're crawling away . chelsea : [ chuckles ] victor : i know . nikki will not be part of it , okay ? chelsea : okay , well , it 'll just be the four of us , then . victor : who are the other two ? chelsea : i was gon na invite sharon and jack . victor : i guess those are the only two friends he [ laughing ] had . come here . okay . come here , come here , come here . have you thought about where you 're gon na bury him ? there we go . there we go . tch , tch . there we go . last time you were leaning away from paris and toward -- toward kansas . chelsea : but i have n't forgotten how strongly you felt that adam should be buried in genoa city . victor : that 's right . that way he 'll be close to you and your little boy . chelsea : and you . victor : [ chuckles ] i think you 're gon na have to go to mommy here . chelsea : [ laughs ] victor : all right . chelsea : say goodbye to grandpa , huh ? okay , baby . you say goodbye to grandpa , huh ? victor : [ laughs ] bye - bye . chelsea : [ chuckles ] victor : we 'll discuss the details later , okay ? chelsea : okay . thanks for -- thanks for coming . victor : bye - bye ! chelsea : someone needs a nappy , huh ? do you need a nappy ? do you need a nappy ? okay . victor : what the hell are you doing here ? billy : good morning to you , too , victor . victor : i asked what you 're doing here . chelsea : it 's okay , victor . i 'll talk to him . victor : if he gives you any trouble , you let me know . billy : is n't he supposed to be in a coffin during the day ? chelsea : what are you doing here , billy ? billy : well , you and i never finished our conversation from last night . uh , at least i do n't think we did . it 's all a little jumbled up there . uh , i did n't happen to be somewhat of an ass to you , was i ? chelsea : somewhat . billy : yeah , that 's what i was afraid of . i blamed adam for my one - nighter with kelly , did n't i ? chelsea : was n't exactly your finest moment . billy : yeah , i 'm sorry about that . chelsea : we all screw up now and then . billy : well , some of us more than others . but , uh , listen , i 'm still a little hazy about something . what did you come over to say in the first place ? was it about victoria ? victoria : mom , nothing 's going on , okay ? i - i probably just need some sun . [ chuckles ] nikki : you would tell me if there was something more , would n't you ? i know the situation with billy is taking a toll on you . victoria : there 's nothing more . i 'll get through it . nikki : but , honey , you do n't have to do it alone . sweetheart , talk to me . let me help you . dr. chiverton : oh ! victoria , you 're here . please , come in . victoria : oh , great . i 'll be right there . mom , thank you . thank you for always being there for me to lean on . i really appreciate it . nikki : well , of course , my baby . i love you . you take care . victoria : okay , i will . nikki : all right . victoria : all right . bye , mom . nikki : bye . dr. chiverton : i was n't expecting to see you for another couple of weeks . is there something wrong ? victoria : no , actually , no , everything 's fine . it 's really just fine . um , i was just thinking about our conversation the other day and the importance of having the father 's genetic information . how soon can we determine the paternity of my baby ? stitch : well , you look like you 're in a crappy mood like i am . dylan : yeah , i do n't want to talk about it . you just come in ? stitch : been here awhile . dylan : what 's with the cupcake ? you celebrating -- max . stitch : missing another one of his birthdays . dylan : [ sighs ] man , i know how tough that was for you overseas when that happened . and now you 're finally home , and ... stitch : like you said , i do n't want to talk about it . dylan : you see ? right -- right there . right there . that 's it . that 's it . i stopped by victoria 's the other day to check in on her , and -- and she wanted to know more about you , and there was n't really a whole lot i could give her because , you know , you really do n't like to talk about this kind of stuff . stitch : and you do ? why are you telling me this , mac ? dylan : i know that you care about victoria and you believe that she 's not gon na go back to billy . stitch : but you think she will ? dylan : if i 'm wrong and you 're gon na have any shot of a real relationship , you 're gon na have to open up to her . colin : i thought we 'd gotten past all these questions about my motives for marrying you . jill : let me see . what did your associate say ? that you only got married to get your hands on some fortune , to which you , my angel , replied , `` let me assure you , you will recoup big on your investment . `` ring any bells , colin ? colin : not at all . jill : is n't that strange , since the conversation only took place a couple of days ago . colin : how did you reach that conclusion ? jill : because you butt - dialed me during the meeting , you moron . i heard every single word you and your loan shark said . colin : crap . jill : you 're lucky i did n't lock you in there with a rattlesnake . colin : i - i realize the conversation was somewhat incriminating , but you did n't get the whole story . jill : right ! that 's because i was n't given the whole story ! never mind . i know what i know . you led me on , you made a fool of me , so now i 'm returning the favor . colin : what do you mean ? jill : rachel , the bernese mountain dog -- she never existed . i made the whole thing up . colin : you made it up ? jill : yep . katherine never had a dog . she got bitten by a dog when she was a child . she was deathly afraid of them . colin : but what about the ashes ? jill : the ashes ? they were from the living - room fireplace . you have been out- conned , you sucker . colin : [ laughs ] that is -- that is very impressive . my god , you are some woman . no wonder i love you . jill : oh , please . let 's not start this again . colin : look , it happens to be the truth . now , yeah , i 'm going through a few financial problems at the moment , but that was n't the reason that i came to genoa city . i came -- i came back here because i missed you , missed -- missed your mind , i missed your wit , i missed -- oh , i really missed your body . they do n't make them like you anymore , sweetheart . i mean , why would i settle for anything less ? jill : god , colin . if only i could believe you . colin : let me out of here . let 's ... let 's deal with this face to face . [ lock clicking ] colin : [ gasps ] it 's so good to be out of there ! jill : oh , sweetheart . oh ! [ sighs ] see , that 's what you think . but it 's really only just beginning . dr. chiverton : there 's a fetal cell analysis we can do after 14 weeks . victoria : is it dangerous ? because as much as i want to know the paternity , it 's not worth putting the baby at risk , obviously . dr. chiverton : the test is non - invasive . there 's nothing to worry about . victoria : good , so then let 's put it on the books . [ sighs ] the sooner i can tell the father , the better . chelsea : i happened to bump into victoria yesterday , and naturally the conversation got around to the two of you . billy : well , what 'd she say ? chelsea : you know , just that she 's still hurting and confused , and i just told her i 'd like to help any way i can , and that 's what i came to tell you . billy : [ chuckles ] well , how could you possibly help ? victoria : you did n't tell him that i 'm pregnant , did you ? chelsea : no . victoria : [ sighs ] chelsea : i intended to , but in the end , i backed down . chelsea : i - i really was n't thinking . to be honest with you , i just got swept up in the moment . billy : wow . chelsea lawson , a romantic . who 'd have figured ? chelsea : [ chuckles ] crazy , right ? billy : [ chuckles ] what 's crazy is you getting involved in other people 's problems . i mean , you have enough to deal with . and when it comes right down to it , our marriage has nothing to do with you . chelsea : you mentioned that last night , as well . billy : yeah , well , i guess that means i feel pretty strongly about it . and there 's something else i feel strongly about . stay away from victor . chelsea : what is with you abbotts ? it 's like your mantra . `` stay away from the black knight . `` billy : chelsea , i know you feel connected to him because of adam . but if there was anything that your husband and i agreed on was to stay away from victor newman . do n't trust him ever . chelsea : why are you trying to protect me ? ian : victor . good morning . i 'd ask you to join me , but i just finished . victor : [ chuckles ] you stay away from my wife , okay ? ian : well , your spies are certainly on the ball , are n't they ? victor : i understand you also approached my granddaughter the other day . ian : summer and i just both happened to be at crimson lights . you ca n't fault me for patronizing a public establishment , victor , can you , especially one owned by my son . please sit . victor : you feel invincible , do n't you ? i 'm having your b.s . group , the path , investigated . and if john darwin ropes in a few more innocent victims , that path will be blocked . ian : hmm . you know , it 's a shame such a dynamic , capable man like you has chosen to lead a life consumed by anger and bitterness . it 's not good for -- victor : spare me your phony baloney . ian : it 's not phony , believe me . i care very much . which is why i feel compelled to talk to you about what 's going on with your wife . dylan : nikki . nikki : hello , gentlemen . stitch : nikki . nikki : i was nearby at the hospital . i just thought i 'd come say hi . dylan : is everything okay ? nikki : yeah , fine . stitch : how 's the charity event coming ? nikki : charity event ? stitch : yeah , the one you 're working on at memorial ? with victoria ? nikki : [ sighs ] it 's news to me . stitch : i must have misunderstood . dylan : cup of tea ? nikki : yes , please . stitch : you know , uh , my shift 's starting soon . uh , it was nice seeing you . dylan : yes , it is , uh , nice seeing you . i 've been worried . nikki : so you know that i moved out of the house . dylan : and i heard why . nikki : what victor did is inexcusable . it 's unforgivable . i really do n't know that i 'll ever be able to go back to him . that 's why i 'm at the club just trying to sort through everything . dylan : you 're staying at the athletic club ? nikki : i know what you 're about to say . i know ian is staying there . victor has a big security unit watching over me , not -- not that i need it , because i refuse to let ian get to me anymore . dylan : just please be careful . he knows exactly what buttons to push . nikki : yes , i hear that you know that firsthand . ian told me about your arrest . dylan : [ sighs ] i bet he did . the guy lives to rile me up . nikki : and you must n't let him . you 've got to control yourself . dylan : i know , i know . i just -- i just got the same lecture from -- from avery . nikki : well , that 's because we both love you . avery : okay , we 're gon na add the butter , the brown sugar , and the vanilla , and we 're gon na melt -- [ sighs ] did i say vanilla ? because i meant to say maple syrup . can we just go again ? austin : yeah , we 're still rolling . avery : okay . now we 're gon na take the butter , the vanilla , and the maple syrup and -- austin : you just said -- avery : i know what i said . i know . damn it ! austin : do you , uh , want to talk about what 's bothering you ? avery : no , austin , i do n't want to talk about what 's bothering me . i just want this whole thing to be over with ! you know , it 's not a bad idea maybe just to be done with the whole thing . austin : you mean quit the show ? avery : yeah . i think that might be best for everyone . nikki : dylan , what is it ? dylan : uh , that 's the first time you ever said that , that you ... nikki : that i love you . well , it 's true . i do . you 'd make any mother proud . dylan : thanks . i mean , that ... thank you . nikki : look at us . who 'd ever thought we 'd get this far ? dylan : i 'm glad we have . nikki : me , too . okay , um , i 'm gon na let you get back to work . thanks for the tea . dylan : nikki ! nikki . nikki : oh ! dylan : hold on , hold on . i got you . nikki : oh , i 'm so dizzy . victor : i do n't want to hear the word `` nikki `` come out of your mouth again , all right ? ian : not even if she were in trouble ? when i ran into her earlier , she was rushing off to see a dr . costner . i 'm afraid she did n't look very well . now , perhaps it 's because of the fact she 's staying here at the club , a temporary rough patch for the two of you , no doubt , but i ca n't imagine that this could n't be anything but taxing on her . victor : do yourself a favor , you psychopath . get up now and remove your carcass from this building . otherwise you will need a doctor . ian : [ clears throat ] colin : [ sighs ] jill : pleasant dreams ?

kyle : my dad woke up . i was out for a walk , and i missed it . how do you expect me to feel ? abby : kyle , you could n't have known . kyle : i might have missed my last chance to talk to him . ashley : how is he ? phyllis : same . ashley : phyllis , i 'm not here just to check on jack . phyllis : if you 're gon na start in again about business -- ashley : i need to talk to both you and kyle . phyllis : about the company ? ashley : yes . phyllis : okay . yeah . my husband is fighting for his life , so i really could not care less about newman - abbott at the moment , and neither should you . ashley : i understand that , but what you do n't understand is that there may not be a newman - abbott enterprises at all . victoria : is jack 's condition still critical ? billy : they induced a coma , so ... victoria : i 'm so sorry , billy . billy : i was counting on that from you . victoria : what , my sympathy ? what do you think it 's gon na get you ? billy : some honest answers . i got sick of sitting around the hospital , feeling useless , so i started trying to help out with the company . victoria : how ? you do n't work here anymore . billy : yeah , i know , but it 's still my family 's business . victoria : billy , it 's okay . everything 's gon na be fine . billy : i 'm not so sure about that . with jack out of it , victor is in complete control of newman - abbott . victoria : why is that a problem ? billy : because we ca n't find a copy of the contract . victoria : i 'm sure that jack has a copy . billy : well , if he does , he has n't shown it to ashley or to me . and we 've looked everywhere . there 's no sign of it -- not at the house , not at the office . victoria : why come to me ? billy : because i 'm beginning to wonder if the damn thing was ever even signed , and i thought maybe you might know something about it . victor : well , well , well . this is a hell of a signature , is n't it -- as if jack had signed it himself ? neil : well , you and i both know , victor , that 's still not enough to sell that contract as legit . victor : yeah , well , we need some help , do n't we ? [ door opens ] nikki : hi , darling . oh , neil ! victor : there you are . nikki : nice surprise to see you . victor : hi , sweetheart . nikki : hello . neil : nikki , it 's very good to see you , too . nikki : i am sick about the situation with jack . his family must be devastated . victor : is n't it awful ? they 're just rightfully rather distraught . they 're not thinking straight . you know , that 's why we need your help , my sweetheart . [ both laugh ] hilary : beating you at tennis is always fun . devon : gosh . you know i let you win , right ? hilary : what ? no , you did not . devon : yes , i did . hilary : okay , you were huffing and puffing all over that court . you poured your heart and soul into that match . devon : oh , that was an act , sweetheart . do you really think i would double- fault on match point ? hilary : uh , yeah . if you were exhausted from chasing balls back and forth on the baseline , yeah , i think you would . devon : you can believe whatever you want to believe . i thought you 'd be better at spotting a con than that , though . hilary : ouch . [ chuckles softly ] yeah , okay . well , i see . so , you lost to me on purpose , right ? now , what reason would you have for doing that ? devon : i thought the winning might take your mind off some things . hilary : yeah . i have been worried about jack lately . devon : and ... ? hilary : and ... ? devon : mother 's day . hilary : how 'd you know that ? devon : because i know you . hilary : yeah . i 've been thinking about my mom a lot lately -- how her death brought me here to seek revenge and ... how i fell in love instead . devon : i love hearing you say that . hilary : yeah , well , i did manage to wreck the lives of everyone in your entire family . do n't forget that part . devon : we 're picking up the pieces to that . hilary : i just ... wish that ... devon : no . you do n't have to wish anything . i could n't be happier that you 're still in my life . and , honestly , all i can really think about is just kissing you . hilary : devon ... we said that we would ... take things slow . devon : well , hilary ... we ca n't keep doing this dance . lauren : after my fight last night with michael , you were very sweet to me . thank you for that . cane : i 'm just so sorry that things are difficult between the two of you . lauren : he 's been avoiding me . but , you know , we just need a heart - to - heart , and , uh , speaking of which , if you do n't mind , i 'd really love to get through this business meeting as fast as possible . cane : so you can go and talk to michael ? lauren : yes . i am gon na head upstairs and try and talk that stubborn husband of mine into coming home . michael : thanks ... for listening to my problems all night . felicity : well , you paid for the time . besides , everyone needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes . michael : the crying part -- that 's between you and me ? felicity : in my profession , confidentiality is of the utmost importance . and you seem like a nice guy ... mr. smith . michael : not my name . felicity : [ laughing ] no ! michael : it 's the truth , felicity . felicity : i hope everything works out for you . you already paid . michael : you 're worth the tip . felicity : if you ever want another date ... like last night or maybe something different next time ... contact my service . lily : hi . this is lily ashby , the manager of the genoa city athletic club . i need you to send the police right away . devon : listen , we agreed not to keep secrets , 'cause i do n't want to hide anything from the rest of my family . hilary : yeah , but you told them that we were friendly , and that 's all we have been . devon : yet we 're still hiding out , hilary , and we have to stop doing that . hilary : how ? devon : let 's have lunch at the club today . hilary : uh , where lily and cane and possibly even your dad might see us ? devon : yeah . i hope they do so we can explain to them . hilary : you just started rebuilding your relationship with your family , okay ? if neil finds out about this , he is gon na be so upset . devon : probably . probably . but you know what ? at least he will respect the fact that we 're being honest with him . the longer we wait , the worse things are gon na get , and i can not let history repeat itself . hilary : okay . lunch . devon : it 's a date . hilary : hey , give me an hour , okay ? i 'm just gon na clean up , and i have some things to drop off for victor newman 's review , so ... devon : all right . well , i have some connections at the club , so i 'll make sure we get a nice table . hey . everything 's gon na be fine . hilary : i hope you 're right . lily : hi . um , i just escorted a police officer upstairs . cane : wait . what happened ? lauren : what ? was there a robbery ? lily : no . there was a call girl leaving one of the guest rooms . cane : whose room ? lily : i did n't have time to find out before i called , and the police got here so fast -- lauren : michael ! officer : i 've arrested mr. baldwin for solicitation . the woman in question -- we picked her up outside . lauren : all right . there must be some mistake . lily : michael , i 'm really sorry . i did n't know . officer : i need to get him down to the station . lauren : all right . i 'll be right behind you . we 'll get this straightened out . michael : we 'll do that . officer : this way . victor : while jack 's life is hanging in the balance ... billy and ashley are doing everything in their power to scuttle the merger . nikki : i just ca n't believe that . they 're coming to you with this now ? victor : yeah . they just did . nikki : why do things always have to take such an ugly turn ? neil : nikki , are you surprised ? nikki : unfortunately , no , i 'm not . but what am i supposed to do -- be the ambassador ? victor : here , sweetheart . nikki : what is this ? the merger contract . victor : yeah . you need to sign it to validate my arrangement with jack . nikki : why am i listed as the witness ? victor : because , my darling , jack and i thought you were the best person to do that because you are a newman who is closest to the abbotts and you have no stake in this whole thing . in other words , you do n't work for newman , nor for jabot , so , therefore , you have no interest in the outcome of the merger . nikki : yeah , but there 's a problem . i mean , as the witness , i should have been there when you both signed it . why are you coming to me with this now ? neil : [ clears throat ] kyle : dad , i 'm sorry . when you opened your eyes , i should have been here . abby : kyle , do n't do that to yourself . you went for a walk because you were n't allowed in the room yet . kyle : do n't make excuses for me . abby : you know what uncle jack would say if he could talk to us right now ? he would say , `` get over it `` and that he 's glad that you were n't here . kyle : how can you say that ? abby : he had a seizure , kyle . do you really think your dad would have wanted you to see that ? kyle : maybe not . but if he does n't wake up , i 'll never forgive myself . ashley : we ca n't find a contract . if there 's no contract , there 's no company . phyllis : your wish , right ? ashley : yes , absolutely , because this merger was a huge mistake . phyllis : jack 's mistake ? ashley : just hear me out . it was constructed so that the abbotts have absolutely no say in our own company . jabot is being folded into newman . phyllis : jack has been running that company brilliantly for years , and you are doing your damnedest to unravel that deal . ashley : listen , what i believe is that if this accident had n't happened , jack would have eventually come to his senses . phyllis : you 'd be toeing the line right now , ashley . you would n't be trying to tear apart newman - abbott with jack in that hospital bed before he wakes up . is that what you 're hoping for -- that he does not wake up ? ashley : oh , my god , phyllis . how dare you ? phyllis : ashley , you are ambitious , and would n't it be sweet satisfaction for you to take the helm as c.e.o . with jack out of the way ? ashley : i understand that you 're upset about jack and that you 're stressed out , but that does n't give you the right to accuse me of caring more about a business title than my brother 's own life ! abby : mom , what 's going on out here ? ashley : kyle , are you sure you 're okay ? i heard you were n't hurt in the accident . is it true ? kyle : yeah . i 'm fine . why are you arguing ? phyllis : well , ashley 's hoping to find a way to reverse the merger , despite jack 's wishes . abby : mom , no . ashley : i 'm trying to figure out our options . abby : why ? ashley : because i 'm protecting our family 's legacy , abby . victor may have brokered a peace with jack but not with the rest of us . phyllis : go ahead and ask her why she 's bringing all this up now . ashley : i do n't have a choice , phyllis . it 's true -- in case something happens to jack and he does n't recover . abby : mom , do n't even think that . ashley : i am terrified that victor is going to eventually eliminate any vestiges of abbott and jabot from this company . do you understand that ? that 's why i want to see a finalized contract . i 'm not even sure there is one , but if there is , i just want to look at it . i want to see what the terms are so i know what our options are . abby : really ? that 's how you want to spend mother 's day weekend -- staging a coup ? ashley : i know none of us wants to be doing this right now , but i need to know . kyle , you and phyllis are the ones that have been spending the most time with jack lately , correct ? kyle : what about it ? phyllis : what , you 're helping her now ? kyle : i 'm hearing her out . ashley : i just want to know if you 've ever seen him with a contract . did he ever talk about signing the contract ? kyle : i never did . phyllis : no , i never did . jack never mentioned it . kyle : there . phyllis : i assumed that the contract was taken care of , just like things are taken care of every day in business . kyle : so , you got your answer , all right ? i 'm done with this conversation . ashley : i appreciate that , and i 'm sorry if i upset you -- both of you . i 'm gon na see jack , and i 'll be gone . ashley : oh . hey . i 'm here , jackie . i just want you to know that . i also want you to know that i 'm gon na be doing some things that you 're not gon na agree with , but i hope to god you eventually understand why i did them . i do n't understand . i do n't -- i do n't understand , because jabot is not just our work , not just our company -- it 's our father . he entrusted it to us , jack . that 's why i do n't understand why it 's okay with you [ voice breaking ] that victor owns it and that he 's changing it . he 's gon na kill it . but i want you to know that when you get out of here , i 'm gon na be fighting you on this , jack , okay ? i also want you to know how much i love you . billy : are you absolutely sure that victor never showed you a fully executed copy of the contract ? victoria : yes , i 'm sure , but that does n't mean the document does n't exist . it 's not like my father feels compelled to run every piece of paperwork by me . billy : yeah , but he would have said something in passing . i mean , victor does enjoy crowing about his triumphs . `` jack signed . it 's a done deal . i 'm amazing . `` victoria : he did n't say anything . billy : well , maybe there 's a reason he 's not gloating . victoria : you would really love to turn the tables on my dad , would n't you -- get jabot back , get your job back ? billy : that would make my day -- my year , my life ! victoria : do n't forget , jack agreed to this merger , and he 's the one who fired you . billy : that is burned in to my brain . thank you . victoria : why do you want to stir things up here ? it 's never been better at the company . billy : [ chuckles ] for you . your family 's company has expanded . you got a brand - new c.o.o . title . you 're working here with your boyfriend . what ? what -- what was that ? victoria : that last thing -- the last part . billy : yeah , what ? did you fire stitch ? victoria : no . ben is still working here , but he 's not my boyfriend anymore . we 're over . lily : i mean , i knew michael and lauren were having problems , but what happened today took things to a whole new level . cane : i just feel so bad for her , you know ? she 's trying to work things out , but he wo n't even meet her halfway . lily : but why ? has lauren done something > cane : i do n't think so . lily : well , then , why would michael turn to a prostitute ? cane : i do n't know . it 's like he 's intentionally trying to hurt her , but why ? lily : i guess you never really know what 's going on inside someone 's head . cane : no , you do n't . i just wish i could do something to help lauren . lauren : i just took care of your bail . you should be released soon . michael : thank you . lauren : now i want the real story . michael : the real story ? lauren : yes , michael . michael : now ? you want it now ? lauren : no . hey , let 's wait for mother 's day brunch , shall we ? what the hell happened last night ? michael : i paid a hooker to have sex with me . lauren : what are you saying ? michael : what part do n't you understand ? lauren : all of it . why ? for sex ? michael : no . lauren : i know that w have n't been together in a long time , but that is not because i have n't wanted you . michael : it was n't just about the sex ! i keep telling you , lauren , but you refuse to hear it . lauren : i 'm all ears now . michael : i told you i needed to get away from the pressures of a relationship . lauren : i did that . i gave you space . i did n't call you . michael : how i was tired of fighting , tired of your expectations . lauren : so you turned to somebody with no expectations ? michael : that 's right -- felicity . lauren : shut up , michael . michael : that 's her name . lauren : i see . so , she 's somebody who would n't make you think or even try to talk about your cancer . michael : my illness , my problem . lauren : no , it is our problem , and it was when you hid it from me , when you then deigned to tell me the truth , and it is our problem now ! michael : if we 're not together , then -- lauren : i still love you ! [ crying ] but you 'd rather have sex with some stranger ... than come home with me ... lily : do n't feel bad . there 's probably nothing that anyone can do for michael and lauren at this point . cane : i 'd still like to try . lily : wh - where are you going ? cane : i 'll see you , baby . i love you . devon : hey , lil . i have this lunch thing i 'm trying to plan . what 's wrong with you ? lily : what 's wrong is that my husband cares more about lauren 's marriage than ours . phyllis : the nurse said we can go in as soon as she 's done . is ashley gone ? kyle : yeah . phyllis : good . abby : look , phyllis , despite what you think , my mom 's really worried about uncle jack . phyllis : that may be , but i think that takes second place to how much she cares about herself . abby : that 's not true . phyllis : really ? then why is she refusing to accept jack 's decision ? kyle : you 're defending what she 's doing ? abby : no . okay , i 'm not exactly comfortable with my mom going after my dad and my uncle , but ... you two have only seen how happy uncle jack has been . phyllis : what are you getting at ? abby : i work at jabot every day , where uncle jack has been conspicuously absent . it 's like he signed off on this company and stopped caring about what happened to it . i love my sister . i do . but victoria 's not exactly a dream boss . she killed the successful perfume that mom and stitch and i busted our butts to create . kyle : well , victor said that he and victoria would be open to the jabot team 's opinions . abby : yes , that 's how it 's supposed to work , but they 'll never agree with us . all i 'm saying is that there 's two sides to this . billy : you and stitch ? when ? victoria : we broke up right ... before you announced your wedding plans . billy : well , why did n't you tell me ? victoria : well , you know , it just did n't seem like the right time to share . [ chuckles ] and then things exploded with you and chelsea . it just did n't really ever seem appropriate . billy : yeah , i guess . victoria : anyway , i thought you would have heard all about it by now since ben has moved on with abby . billy : your -- your sister , my niece abby ? damn . are you okay ? victoria : yes . i 'm fine . of course i 'm fine . it was definitely for the best . billy : so ... you 're all right being single again ? victoria : of course i 'm all right being single again . yes . and you have more important things to worry about , with jack being in the hospital . billy : yes , that and my scavenger hunt for the contract . victoria : exactly . happy hunting . billy : you know ... you could help . victoria : oh , could i ? how ? billy : i do n't know . you could talk to your old man , see if jack actually signed that document . victoria : and then what ? billy : and then , gee , um , maybe you could tell me ? victoria : now , why would i do that ? billy : because you have integrity , victoria , and you know deep down that i could be right . victoria : i do n't know that . now if you 'll excuse me -- billy : but you know your dad , and you know that if this merger were a done deal , he would be sending copies to all abbotts , warning everybody to not even think about hatching plots . victoria : are n't we so full of conspiracy theories ? billy : yeah . you know that i 'm right . you know what your father is capable of when it comes to getting what he wants . victor : you know , i planned for the three of us to meet so that we could sign this whole thing in your presence . nikki : uh - huh . what happened to that plan ? victor : jack abbot -- he just came by unexpectedly and said , `` let 's get this damn thing done . `` nikki : without a witness ? victor : he did n't care if you were here or not . nikki : that seems very odd to me . neil : well , as odd as it may seem , jack 's been doing things on his own schedule lately . nikki : actually , i have heard that he 's been spotted at the golf club more often than at work . victor : i 'm just glad he signed the damn contract when he did . otherwise , we would have had hell to pay with the abbotts . nikki : yeah , you 're right about that . i do n't know . i mean , signing this after the fact , under these circumstances -- it just does n't seem right . neil : yeah . i wish we did n't have to put you in this position , nikki , but without your signature , this contract is meaningless . it 's not official . victor : sweetheart , just sign it . jack wants this merger . remember when he and i showed up in front of the cameras at the press conference , shook hands , and when you and phyllis asked him questions and he said he wanted to bury the feud between the newmans and the abbotts and to forge a new bond ? nikki : that was very touching . neil : i guess , if i can add to this , i have heard jack express nothing other than enthusiasm about this deal , for what it 's worth . nikki : that 's -- that 's true . i think you 're right , neil . victor : sweetheart , just sign it . it 'll be good for our company , . it 'll be good for the merger . it 'll be good for everyone concerned , okay ? nikki : okay . [ sighs ] nikki : well , i certainly was n't expecting to get caught up in corporate intrigue today . neil : right ? i 'd almost forgotten what it 's like to work here . nikki : mm . neil : surprises around every single . nikki : i 'm sure . hilary : victor , i have that report for you . uh ... uh , i 'm sorry . uh ... um ... victor ... said he ... wanted ... this . i 'm reporting to him now that jack is -- neil : yeah . hilary : here . neil : i 'll make sure victor gets it . anything else ? hilary : uh ... nope . that 's everything . thanks . neil : yeah . nikki : how did you manage to keep your hands off that woman 's throat after what she 's done to you ? neil : it 's all in the past . nikki : wow . nevertheless , the fact that you could be so professional with her just proves how strong you are . neil : i 'm pretty good at faking it , you know ? hilary and devon 's affair -- it crushed me . i got to be honest . and i 'm still -- nikki , i 'm still going through it . nikki : i 'm sure you are . but you 're sober . neil : do you remember that time when you chastised me for drinking my head off , right , into oblivion instead of standing up and fighting for myself ? well , you know something ? i have n't had a drop of alcohol since then . nikki : good . so , um ... how often ? neil : do i want to drink ? not often . [ sighs ] just every minute of every day . that 's all . lily : cane has basically appointed himself as lauren 's comprehensive support system . devon : i mean ... it kind of sounds like he 's just being a good friend to her . lily : no . they are spending way too much time together . this is going beyond friendly work partners . devon : okay . so , do you really think that cane would ... lily : i 'm just saying that lauren has a history of turning to other men . devon : cane would n't cheat on you . lily : he might not choose to , but he could get dragged into it . devon : he 's not gon na get dragged into anything . it 's not -- it 's not him . lily : he is not setting any boundaries , even after i told him how concerned i am . devon : listen to me . not everyone cheats . and i know i 'm not a great example , but i also know how much cane loves you , and i really think you need to believe more in your husband and what you two have together . lily : i 'm trying . [ cell phone chimes ] lauren : [ sighs ] hi . lily : hi . lauren : hi , lily . devon . devon : hi . hey , i 'm sorry . i have something i need to take care of right now . excuse me . lauren : yeah , sure . lily : sorry about my brother 's manners . sit down , please . lauren : i 'm so distracted right now , i did n't even notice . lily : what happened with michael ?

[ cellphone ringing ] traci : uh , hello ! cane : hey . look , i 'm sorry for calling so late , but i could really use someone to talk to . is this a bad time ? traci : no , no . not at all . actually , i was just curling up with a good book . sharon : adam and i were on - and - off again for years . at times , we fed into each other in ways that were unhealthy , but we loved each other with everything . we were all in . rey : why 'd you two keep getting back together ? sharon : because there was this connection between us that drew us to each other , and it was just undeniable . i 'm sorry if this is difficult to hear . rey : it 's all right , but none of this is making me feel any better about you seeing this guy again . sharon : adam could be vengeful and scheming . that was a part of him . but he could also be kind and loving , even heroic . despite all the damage that he and did to each other , adam took a bullet for victor . and , one night , he even saved faith 's life . we were stuck in this tornado , and adam threw himself over her body to protect her from being crushed by debris . and the reason why i 'm really willing to help adam now ... he saved my life , also . rey : how ? sharon : you sure want to hear some unflattering things about your perfect girlfriend ? rey : we all have our flaws . sharon : but we do n't all have mental breakdowns . it was the lowest time in my life . i was having delusions . i was hearing voices . and , one night , i heard victor and nikki telling me that ... that i was unlovable and i was worthless , and ... in my altered state ... i burned their house down . adam saved me from the fire . he kept me safe and hidden away , he protected me because , at the time , i was too fragile to deal with the consequences . adam did n't have to help me , but he did . adam saved me physically and emotionally by getting me into therapy where i was diagnosed as bipolar . rey : it must have been a real struggle . sharon : it was , but i am able to manage it with therapy and medication , and that 's the reason why i never brought it up before now . rey : i 'm here for you . and if you ever want to talk about this ... because if this is a problem for you , then ... then we both need to deal with it . sharon : really ? that 's it ? rey : yeah . sharon : i said a lot . rey : yeah . i could tell it was n't easy . sharon : that 's really good to be able to share everything in my life with you . rey : it 's called being in love . come here . but there 's nothing else , is there ? sharon : no . that 's everything . rey : okay . okay , listen , i -- i ca n't tell you what to do regarding adam , but i am -- i am worried about you meeting with him , and i think nick is , too . i heard you on the phone with him . sharon : he 's just worried that if i go probing into adam 's head that he 's gon na end up getting into mine . rey : okay , are you worried about that ? sharon : not really . i mean , i guess there 's a part of me that wonders if things might get thorny again ... rey : okay . okay , then let 's -- let 's get out of here . go home , we 'll tell victor we 're done . sharon : i ca n't do that because as much as adam hurt me ... i would n't be the woman that i am today without him . i would n't have the life that i have . i would n't be the partner that i am to you if i were n't the person that i was with him . rey : [ sighs ] sharon : so i hope you can understand that i need to return the favor because ... in a way , i owe adam my life . traci : what 's going on ? cane : i kind of had this , uh -- this rough conversation with devon . traci : about lily ? cane : yeah . you know , you 're the only one who thinks i should n't give up , right ? traci : [ sighs ] well , it 's kind of my nature to always hope for a happy ending . i know that that 's not always possible , so i really hope i have n't encouraged unrealistic expectations . cane : no , no , no . look . i know the chance of reconciliation is low , okay ? i know that . and , uh , i also know i should focus on myself . devon made that more than clear . i had an interview , all right , but , you see , the thing is , i 'm starting to think that getting a new job or just downsizing is not gon na fix what 's broken . traci : [ sighs ] i wish i had some easy answers for you . cane : yeah . me , too . all right , um ... okay . the real reason why i 'm here is ... i was at home , and , you know , the kids are n't there , and the house is so quiet , you know ? it just -- you know , when the kids are n't there on the weekend , i miss them . well , it makes me think about , you know , being the kind of dad i want to be . look , it 's not that -- i just want to be a kind of different dad than my father was . it 's not that i 'm blaming him for my problems with lily . i 'm not . it 's just , you know , when i came into neil 's family , you know , it kind of made me realize , you know , that he was the father that i did n't have . and now it just makes me , uh , want to aspire to be a better man , you know ? traci : mm . well , you ca n't go wrong if you have neil as a role model . cane : yeah , it 's just that i ca n't tell him that . traci : cane . i believe he knew . cane : yeah . anyway , look , um ... i did n't mean to dump all this on you , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . traci : no , no . cane : no , no . traci : no , don't . it 's my pleasure . really . cane : okay . you know what , you 're a good friend . you know ?

abby : through my dad . yeah , he paid that sneaky wench to parade herself around town to try and spook sharon into a mental breakdown . leslie : victor hired mariah -- abby : to pretend that she was cassie risen from the dead . yeah , to try and freak sharon out . leslie : incredible . abby : mm - hmm . that 's my dad -- all day , every day . you know , i 'm not a big sharon fan , but no one deserves that kind of treatment . leslie : no , of course not . abby : especially not the mother of my niece and nephew . leslie : i can not believe mariah went along with this ... and that she took it so far this time . abby : wait . what do you mean , `` this time `` ? what has mariah done before ? tyler : wait , wait , wait . what 's going on here ? sharon : i understand the risk , and i 'm willing to take it . dr. mead : this could be extremely detrimental to you , sharon . sharon : or it could get everything out in the open , and we 'll all feel better and stronger moving forward . dr. mead : if someone is coercing you into this ... nick : i would n't do that . sharon : no , doctor , that 's not the case -- not at all . nick : look , i want to call this whole thing off , especially after hearing your warnings . ca n't risk another setback . sharon : i 'm not going to have one . i 'm strong now . dr. mead : it is a possibility , sharon . sharon : i know you 're both concerned . nick : it 's more than concern . sharon : but , nick -- nick : after all these years apart , i do n't want to risk losing you again because you 're chasing some unknown . sharon : i 'm healthier and stronger now than i have been in a long time . in fact , the only thing that 's been causing me any mental distress is not knowing this secret . dr. mead : why is this so urgent , sharon ?

leslie : i did n't tell her anything . abby : because she did n't have the chance to . but now she does , so spill . leslie : well -- tyler : uh , look , if there 's anything that you need to know about mariah , it 's something -- leslie : i was just going to tell abby and remind you that mariah is pure trouble , and if she 's still here , abby needs to stay away from her . we all do . the rest is up to you to tell your fiancée . abby : okay . then what 's the rest ? sharon : enough discussion . i 'm ready to start the hypnosis . nick : well , you 're gon na need the doctor to do that , and she 's concerned . dr. mead : i 'm quite concerned . but sharon seems strong enough to face whatever she 's holding back . sharon : thank you . thank you very much . dr. mead : now , if you will step outside so we can proceed ? sharon : um , i would like nick to stay . dr. mead : are you sure ? sharon : he needs to hear whatever it is i 've been keeping from him . dr. mead : it 's highly irregular for another person to remain in the room during hypnosis . this process requires your full concentration . sharon : you 'll have it . dr. mead : and you have to be fully relaxed , and if you 're distracted with worries concerning nick ... sharon : i promise you -- i promise both of you -- having the man i love in the room with me will not make this more stressful . i think it will put my mind at ease , and i need to be at my most comfortable for this to work , right ? dr. mead : all right . nick can stay . nick : all right . do n't worry about what will come out . sharon : i 'll try not to . nick : i 'm behind you all the way . sharon : how could i be nervous after that ? dr. mead : [ chuckles ] sharon : where do you want me ? dr. mead : right across from me , sharon , please . are you comfortable , sharon ? sharon : yes , thanks . dr. mead : now , when i bring you out of the hypnotic state , you 'll feel refreshed , and you 'll remember everything that came back to you . do you understand ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : now i want you to close your eyes and concentrate on my voice . we 're going to start out by helping you to relax . i want you to take a deep breath -- inhale through your nose , and exhale through your mouth . sharon : [ exhales deeply ] dr. mead : take another deep , deep breath . sharon : [ inhales deeply ] dr. mead : and another calming , relaxing exhale . sharon : [ exhales deeply ] jack : since jabot is still raking in major profits spurred by the positive publicity from the fashion show , i want to do another one . lily : oh . neil : wow . that 's great news . hilary : that 's wonderful news . neil : yeah , but i thought you wanted to make this an annual event . jack : well , i did , but now i do n't want to wait another year , so i want to do another runway extravaganza in the next couple of months . neil : so , then , chelsea 's new collection ... jack : will be unveiled right here in genoa city . lily : and i 'm guessing since i 'm included in this meeting that you 're planning on having it here again ? jack : we are hoping we can do it here at the club again . lily : oh , my god , jack . thank you so much . you will have everything that you want . jack : this was a giant boost for our rep . lily : ours , too . you were really helping to put the new g.c.a.c . on the map . neil : can i tell everyone here that this is exactly the kind of meeting that i like ? lily : me , too . well , let 's get down to it , then . so let 's set up a date , and then will the forresters be joining us again ? jack : we are working on that . hilary : i - i have a dentist 's appointment . jack : you do ? hilary : yeah , i 'm sorry , jack . i completely forgot until just this minute . jack : do n't worry about it . go ahead . hilary : okay . i already have so many ideas . jack : we will talk about those at the office . good luck at the dentist . hilary : okay . thanks . lily : okay , well , can you give me some feedback on the last fashion show -- things that you liked or did n't like ? jack : as a matter of fact , hilary and i put together a list . i 'm happy to go over it with you . lily : great , yeah . neil : hey , um , since we 're making all these plans , i should be getting in touch with our designer -- let her know that she should be ready for this , huh ? jack : you know , i think that 's an excellent idea . neil : well , thanks . um , it 's been fun , but i 'll see you later . jack : terrific . lily : bye . neil : bye . jack : the first thing i want to talk about is lighting . lily : lighting . okay . jack : yeah , it mostly -- it was n't so much backstage as it was in the environs out where the press were . tyler : okay , you know what ? i assume that what my sister is referring to as `` the rest `` is every single gory detail of my relationship with mariah , which i am not interested in reliving or rehashing . abby : okay , tyler , but you have to tell me some -- tyler : no , what i want to know is , why would you go behind my back like this ? abby : it was n't exactly deliberate . tyler : well , why would n't you mention it ? abby : i just -- i wanted every bit of ammo i could get on her , and i did n't think you 'd be exactly willing to give me all the dirt on your ex . tyler : so you went to my sister ? abby : i thought that , as a woman , maybe leslie might know some sort of weak spot in mariah that you would 've never noticed . leslie : okay , i think it 's probably best if you two leave me out of this from now on . [ cell phone rings ] abby : i 'm sorry . it 's work . abby newman . hold on one second . i 'm sorry . i - i hate to interrupt this , but it sounds kind of urgent . tyler : yeah , no , no . go ahead . you know , work first . abby : all right . thanks . love you . what did the client say ? leslie : i know what you were worried about me telling abby . tyler : okay , but you did n't say anything about that , right ? leslie : tyler , come on . i would never tell anyone what went down with you and mariah in portland . tyler : all right . well , i appreciate the loyalty , sis . i just -- i ca n't let abby find out . dr. mead : sharon , can you still hear me ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : and do you feel safe ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : now , i want to take you back to an earlier memory -- a happy time , maybe , with family or with nick . are you there ? and where are you ? sharon : i 'm back in high school , and it 's almost nick 's birthday . nick : yeah , `` old - man newman . `` sharon : any plans ? nick : nope . sharon : so , no plans for nick newman 's birthday ? nick : yeah , it looks that way . sharon : i could change that . nick : oh , yeah ? sharon : throw you a little party . nick : you 'd do that for me ? sharon : you want me to ? nick : oh , yeah . sharon : who should i invite ? nick : you . sharon : well , i figured i 'd make an appearance . who else ? nick : no one . [ chuckles ] sharon : do you really want it to be just the two of us ? nick : be the best present i could get . sharon : well , that 's the way it 'll be . nick : so , this little party you 're planning ... sharon : what about it ? nick : well , does it mean anything else ? sharon : like what ? nick : well , like we 're , uh , officially dating ? sharon : there was something so good about him , so trustworthy . soon , i wanted to spend my entire life with him . nick : thank you , miguel . sharon : [ chuckles ] you wish . nick : no way . you 're a lot cuter . sharon : must be amazing . nick : what ? sharon : having servants and gardeners , stable hands . nick : well , the ranch is a big place . it takes a lot of people to take care of it . sharon : i do n't think you realize what it 's like for me to be there . i mean , it 's like a huge park with a mansion in the middle of it . nick : well , get this in your head -- someday , i want the ranch to be your home , too . sharon : you mean we could live there ? nick : well , sure . victoria and her husband live there . sharon : that 's true . nick : we could have our own little house there , and we 'll design it ourselves . sharon : nick made so many of my dreams come true . dr. mead : and now , comforted by those memories and feeling safer , let 's move to more current times . are you there ? sharon : nick and i are together . dr. mead : and you feel that there is something you need to share with nick -- something he does n't know . sharon : there is . leslie : tyler , you really should n't hide things from your fiancée . tyler : oh , come on . look , i got this under control , all right ? leslie : okay . okay , mr. got - it - under - control . handle it . i - i - i got to go . all right ? tyler : [ sighs ] leslie : bye , abby . abby : bye , leslie . tyler : [ sighs ] abby : why is your sister leaving when we were just about to strategize a way to get mariah out of town ? tyler : all right , look , baby , i understand that you 're angry . abby : but you want me to back off ... again . tyler : i just think that the best way to keep mariah out of our lives is to stop wasting time thinking about her . abby : oh , and just let her run amok ? tyler : and to spend that time on what matters most -- our wedding . abby : i would love that . tyler : okay . abby : but i ca n't . i ca n't just let it go after finding out all of the sick , twisted things mariah 's capable of ? tyler : you are letting this get you all agitated . abby : she has no conscience . taking money from someone to -- to drive a person into a padded cell ? what kind of person does something like that ? tyler : [ sighs ] abby : i just figured out the perfect way to get rid of mariah . sharon : but i ... ca n't remember . i ... dr. mead : concentrate on my voice , sharon . the memory is right there . it 's been on your mind constantly , bothering you , but once it 's revealed , the weight will be gone . do you understand ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : and the secret ? sharon : it 's right there , but i -- why ? why ? dr. mead : oh , easy , sharon . deep breaths . sharon : [ sighs ] dr. mead : oh , sharon , there 's nothing to be afraid of . can you hear me ? sharon : yes . nick : doctor , come here . you need to stop this . dr. mead : oh , you need to keep your voice down . nick , she wants to do this . nick : you heard how much she cares about me . she 's not gon na hurt me with some secret . dr. mead : i know what i 'm doing , and if it gets too stressful , i will bring her out . nick : i can even tell she 's stressed . dr. mead : oh , this is a normal reaction . she seems to be struggling to get to the truth here -- not run from it . and she appears to be getting closer . [ knock on door ] neil : hi . hilary : hello . devon : [ sighs ] cane : so , hilary left ? devon : yeah . enough about hilary . cane : mm - hmm . lily : why are you wasting your breath on her ? devon : i was just saying how you and hilary were actually civilized to each other earlier . lily : well , yes , i will put up with that woman when i have to , and the bad news is i 'm gon na have to a little while longer . cane : yeah , why is that ? lily : because jabot wants to have another fashion show here . devon : really ? cane : that 's what the meeting was for ? lily : yeah , is n't that great ? cane : it 's fantastic . devon : that is fantastic . wow . who says nepotism is bad ? hiring the two of you is the best move i ever made . lily : yeah , um , you 're great . uh , excuse me . lily : i am sensing that you and jack have some unfinished business , and you guys should talk . kelly : the only reason i was looking in jack 's direction is because i found this , uh , folder with your close friend hilary 's name on it . lily : oh . she must have dropped it . kelly : mm . what should i do with it ? lily : well , i would say throw it away , but since we 're doing more business with jabot , i guess i 'll return it . i guess i could slip it under her door since i 'm going upstairs anyway . kelly : what if you run into her ? lily : i doubt it . she probably broke a tooth chewing up innocent lives and spitting them out . kelly : [ chuckling ] what ? lily : she had a dentist appointment . i pity whoever has to open those jaws and get near her fangs . [ both chuckling ] hilary : what ? neil : privacy . [ door slams ] hilary : you did that on purpose . neil : what ? hilary : mm . neil : kissed you ? hilary : [ chuckles ] neil : damn straight i did . hilary : mm . you intentionally put your hand on mine under that table . neil : yeah . hilary : yeah ? neil : but it was n't on purpose , but after it happened ... i could n't control myself . [ both chuckle ] neil : what ? what ? that 's funny ? hilary : oh , i 'm just -- i 'm just imagining lily 's face if she knew what was going on under that table . neil : now , baby , come on , now . why do we want to talk about my daughter at a time like this ? hilary : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . ah . [ inhales sharply ] mm . i should probably get back to the office . yeah . neil : i should probably ... get back to the office , too . mm . lily : well , i guess i 'll take this upstairs to hilary 's room . jack : i 'll take it to her at the office . lily : oh , it 's okay . i can do it . jack : i 've got it . lily : okay . jack : and i 'd like a word with kelly . lily : oh , um , yeah . i will be around if you need me . jack : [ sighs ] kelly : you do n't have to do this , jack . lily : hey , you guys . devon : huh ? lily : i know exactly how to cheer dad up . devon : i do n't think he needs to be cheered up . cane : he actually seems pretty happy . lily : my god , you men -- no intuition . ca n't you see the obvious ? devon : it 's obvious that he 's happy practically all the time now . lily : no , he 's still hurting over leslie dumping him and marrying someone else . cane : [ inhales sharply ] does n't seem like it . lily : no , that 's all for show so we do n't worry about him . cane : well , maybe then we should n't worry about him . lily : okay , look , we have to do the opposite and take action and set him up on a date . devon : or not . lily : no , this is the answer , and i know exactly the woman . kelly : you do n't have to apologize again . i understand your position , i accept it , and i am moving on , okay ? it would be easier for me , however , if we do n't interact at all . jack : it would n't be easier for me . and as far as my position goes , it 's changed a lot since what i said upstairs the other night . i 'm hoping you 'll give me a second chance . kelly : i 'm pretty sure this would be a third or a fourth chance , jack . jack : i 'll take as many chances with you as i can get . is it even possible ? dr. mead : dig deep into your memories , sharon . find what you 've kept hidden from nick . sharon : a secret . dr. mead : what is it , sharon ? what are you feeling ? where are you ? sharon : [ voice breaking ] the secret -- nick ca n't know . dr. mead : the thing that you 've been feeling guilty about . sharon : i remember . [ sobs ] [ next_on ] kelly : you are the one who said we should n't be together . jack : yes . i was wrong . mariah : what have you got for me , princess ? abby : an offer you ca n't refuse . sharon : just stop it . please stop ! dr. mead : who , sharon ? sharon : oh , my god ! nick : okay , okay . this is too much . | at the athletic club , kelly tells lily that it 's over between her and jack . jack , in his office , is deep in thought . hilary interrupts him and asks him for the rest of the day off . neil , devon , and cane play a game of basketball . they arrive in the park to rest a little bit when neil says how good he is feeling . devon wants a little bit of what neil is feeling . at the coffeehouse , abby meets with leslie to find out some things about mariah that she can use against her . nick and sharon arrive at the hospital to undergo her hypnosis . nick is against her being hypnotized but sharon insists . summer arrives to see jack and admits she was wrong in how she reacted over his dating kelly . jack is proud of summer 's sudden change of heart . nick tells sharon to remember the secret naturally , but sharon will not listen to him . dr. mead interrupts them and wants to know why sharon is in such a hurry to remember the secret . abby tells leslie about mariah posing as cassie to try to run sharon insane . tyler interrupts them and is surprised that abby would go behind his back to find out information about him and mariah . sharon insists on being hypnotized . |
stitch : max , where are you ? ! max ! i told you to stay away from my son , and now he 's out there all alone . if anything happens to him -- dylan : nothing 's gon na happen . i put out an alert . we 're gon na find him . stitch : yeah , you better ! abby : i wish i was wrong about max . the thought that he could be filled with so much rage that he would want to hurt me , hurt the baby , start a fire to cover his tracks ? ashley : if you keep talking like that -- abby : oh , what , what ? i should just keep pretending like it is n't happening like everyone else is doing ? ashley : what i 'm trying to say is you 're making it sound like it 's a fact without taking ben 's feelings into consideration . that 's just gon na create more distance between the two of you . that 's what i 'm afraid of . abby : i ca n't save my marriage by pretending max is n't in trouble . max is broken . and his own father ca n't even see it . do you think that i want to be the one to force my husband to admit that his son is dangerous ? ashley : of course not . i know you do n't want that , honey . abby : when ben hears the evidence , when he finds out that our baby is gone because of his own son , it will destroy him . and i wo n't be able to help him . ashley : why do you say that ? abby : because ben wo n't let me . mom , we 're already falling apart , and , in the end , he will feel forced to choose between his son and our marriage , and ... really , there 's -- there 's no choice at all . dr. neville : master max . what are you doing here ? lily : if you could have seen dylan 's face when the forensic results came in ... it ties max to the fire . he now has evidence against his best friend 's son . devon : geez . so literally everything abby 's been saying is true 'cause max made her fall and then set the fire to cover it up . lily : how do you even process that ? she lost the baby , but it was n't an accident . devon : it 's horrible . abby is -- she 's strong . she 's a lot stronger than people give her credit . lily : i mean , she tried to warn everyone about max , and nobody would listen , especially stitch . it 's , like , how does your relationship survive that ? devon : yeah , when you feel like your partner is n't hearing you or , worse , does n't want to hear you . it 's a bad place to be . hilary : hey . why does it look like a funeral over here ? we should actually be popping champagne corks . lily : why ? what happened ? hilary : well , jack loved my idea for getting press for the foundation and the medical research at the same time . two birds , one shiny stone named hilary . lily : oh . so we 're talking about stones ? hilary : yeah , i think it really helped that neil and i were on the same page , you know ? devon : i never got a chance to thank you for backing hilary and urging jack to keep her on the board . i appreciate it . neil : wait , what did you say ? backing ? devon : yeah . neil : son , your wife gave me no choice . she blackmailed me , just like she blackmailed ashley . cane : so you were the one ... devon : i have no doubt that you were very convincing . cane : i know what i heard . i heard what she said . neil : [ hushed ] shut up . they 're right over there . listen to me . you ca n't do this . you ca n't do this , cane . cane : get out of my way . neil : i will tell you everything , all right ? i promise . all of it . not here . not now . you owe me that much . hi . [ sighs ] cane : all right . you want to explain to me ? do it . go ahead . 'cause i want to hear how you can rationalize kidnapping your son 's wife and letting the world think that she was dead . neil : no , no , no , no , no . that was never what i wanted . cane : oh , so this is what hilary wanted ? what ? she kidnapped herself and locked herself in the boathouse while she was in a coma ? neil : no , just hear me out , all right ? it was after devon and hilary 's wedding . i was so angry , i could n't even see straight . i was consumed to the point where all i wanted was to pay them back . i wanted to get revenge . cane : so that speech that you made at the wedding about forgiveness , that was all a smokescreen ? neil : no , it was not . cane : did you know what you were gon na do to hilary ? neil : it was n't like that . it was all about breaking them up , breaking their hearts . that 's all . and i followed them on their honeymoon and i -- cane : do you realize how deranged this sounds ? neil : yes , i do ! cane : okay . neil : and i followed them and i got her alone , and i showed her that videotape of devon 's bachelor party and that prostitute . cane : okay , then you pushed her off the cliff . neil : i did n't do that ! she fell all on her own ! do you understand ? i got her out of that water . i saved her life ! cane : oh , so you 're a hero ? neil : no ! cane : you 're a hero ? neil : i saved her ! she would have drowned if it was n't for me . no one would have believed it was an accident , so what did i do , cane ? i flew her to genoa city . i got her in that boathouse , and i waited for her to wake up until she could tell the entire world everything ! cane : so you 're the one who hired dr . neville . he said he did n't know who paid him , but it was you , was n't it ? the two of you were in this together . neil : he -- he -- we -- we both wanted her to recover . cane : but why would you want her to recover if you wanted revenge , huh ? she would have died , your son would have gone to jail . that 's what you wanted . neil : i did n't want that . i did n't want that for either of them . i was totally out of control ! it was like some bender without the alcohol . just rage , man ! all i wanted was for her to get better and to get back with devon . and they did . they got back together . they made it through . their marriage and their life right now is what they wanted all along . cane : so , what ? you 're off the hook ? is that what you tell yourself when you wake up in the morning ? you 're off the hook ? hilary : honestly , it makes sense that jack , neil , and i would work well together . we were a well - oiled machine at jabot way back when . and those two , they understand business , unlike ashley and neville . they do n't understand anything outside of a lab . lily : actually , uh , ashley is a very experienced businesswoman . i think people associate her more with that than with her work as a chemist . hilary : well , i 'm just speculating here , but i think that she 's used to being the only powerful woman in the room . but hey , look at me . she better get used to it . lily : well , you did also blackmail her , so there could be a personal element . i 'm -- i 'm just speculating . hilary : ashley was ill . i encouraged her to step back and look after herself . if people insist on misunderstanding that , that 's on them , not on me . devon understands . he knows exactly where my heart is . right ? devon : i am understanding more and more every day . dylan : patrol cars are in the area . i 'm gon na give them a heads up , then i 'm gon na go out on foot . and if i find anything , i 'll call you . stitch : okay , you cover east of jabot . i 'll go the other way towards memorial . dylan : okay , wait , hold on . i think -- i think you should stay here . stitch : i 'm not staying here ! my son 's out there ! dylan : okay , max could come back looking for you . i think you should be here . stitch : all right , fine . go . now . find my kid . dr. neville : come here , max . does anyone know that you 're here ? because you 're afraid you 're in trouble ? that 's okay . you do n't have to answer that . you -- you came here to -- to see me ? to see ashley ? max : but abby 's in there . she hates me . dr. neville : no , no , no , no , no . no , no . stay . no one hates you . i promise you . you 're amongst friends . and , uh , i tell you what . you -- you tell me everything and -- and i 'll figure out how to fix it . ashley : you and ben have n't even had a chance to be a real married couple because max moved in with you right after your wedding day , honey . there 's been nothing but chaos since then . but you know how much ben loves you , honey . he adores you . abby : yeah , but that love is nothing compared to what a parent feels for their child . i mean , that 's what everyone keeps telling poor , childless me . ashley : look , i 'm sorry i said that , because a marriage has its own bond . and if a couple truly loves each other and they 're strong and they 're mature , then they 'll be there for each other , just the way you 're gon na be there for ben , 'cause i know you 're not gon na let him go through this alone . right ? dr. neville : [ clears throat ] uh , apologies , miss abby . uh , ashley , i 'm afraid i need to speak to you . it 's important . ashley : it 's not a very good time . dr. neville : no , it 's a recent development which most definitely requires your attention . abby : you know what ? it 's fine . i have somewhere to be . ashley : if you need me , honey ... abby : i know . thank you . ashley : bye . abby : bye . ashley : what 's going on ? this is really not a good -- max : ashley ! ashley : max ! honey ! [ door closes ] ashley : what 's going on ? dr. neville : max is in some trouble . i 'm afraid he has some concerns that dr . rayburn will be angry with him . and as per his request , no one else knows he 's here because the only one he 'll speak to is you . ashley : did you run away ? okay , what happened ? what 's going on ? max : dylan came for me . he wants to take me to jail . ashley : oh , honey , i 'm sure it 's nothing that bad . max : he thinks i did something terrible . ashley : does this have to do with the baby shower and the fire that happened ? max : it 's not like they 're saying . ashley : okay , well , why do n't you tell me what happened ? and just start with the baby shower . okay , look . do you trust me ? okay , just tell me the truth in your own words . max : i made abby trip on the stairs . dylan : three - block radius . no sign of max . we 're expanding the perimeter . any word from him ? stitch : no calls , no sign of him . this is n't like the last time he ran . god knows max could be anywhere by now . abby : wait . max is missing ? stitch : yeah . thanks to detective mcavoy scaring the hell out of him here . dylan : [ sighs ] abby : how ? what happened ? dylan : max had the master key , and it was used to enter the server room right before the fire . abby : oh , my god . dylan : max heard me , uh , telling stitch about the evidence that places max in the room . stitch : yeah , and then he took off through the window , and now we 're wasting time talking about it instead of finding a helpless , little kid ! abby : all right , well , let me help . tell me where to go . stitch : do n't pretend like you suddenly care about my son . ashley : you made abby fall ? max : i put something on the stairs . ashley : so that she would trip ? max : but not to get hurt ! just like an internet video . she would trip , she would fall , people would laugh , she 'd be embarrassed , and that 's it ! ashley : oh , right . kind of like , um , a prank . max : yeah . and that 's all ! i swear ! i mean , now people are thinking i was jealous of the baby . ashley : but you were n't jealous at all , were you ? so , everything happened so fast that it probably scared you , right , that nobody would believe you ? it 's good that you told me the truth , honey . and -- and , um , now that you have , uh , it 's -- it 's -- it 's gon na be okay . i promise . [ cell phone rings ] hilary : uh ... oh . hi . this is hilary . yes . good . how are you ? lily : the look in your eyes . devon : [ chuckles ] it 's just that hilary is -- is making a career out of backstabbing , and that 's not the woman that i married . lily : okay , let 's be honest . the woman you married is not the same person as the woman who came to town to ruin dad . and she probably wo n't be the same woman five minutes from now because hilary is constantly changing . devon : listen , the hilary that i married was funny and smart and she was genuinely sweet , okay ? she was n't perfect , and she knew that , and she was always trying to better herself . and i 'm just -- i 'm hoping that she can get back to being that way . that 's all . lily : yes , because hoping always works . devon : you 're the one that told me that i needed to be there for my wife and love her and show her that , not just tell her . and i 've tried to , but it does n't register with her because her eyes are set on some goal that i do n't even understand . lily : look , a year ago , i would have told you to run away as fast as you can . devon : that 's exactly what you told me . lily : but i - i ca n't judge . i mean , obviously you love her , and i think in her own way , she loves you , too . so instead of hoping , why do n't you do something about it and face the problem head on ? cane : `` i 'm no role model . `` that 's what you said to me . and i argued with you over that . neil : i know . i know exactly what i am and what i 've done . you know what ? this lie -- it has practically killed me . cane : [ scoffs ] neil : and this foundation that i started , it is saving my ass . that 's right ! i - i - i feel like i 'm giving something back to the world , like i 'm making amends ! cane : if you wanted to make amends , you should have gone to the cops and told them the truth , but you did n't , did you ? and you lied to them . and you lied to your daughter and you lied to your son . you let him think his wife was dead . you let the cops and the media think he was involved . and i went down to virgin gorda to clear his name , and the whole time you had her locked in the damn boathouse in a coma ! neil : i wanted to see her get better ! cane : oh , no , you did n't . neil : i did ! cane : you did not ! you wanted to save your own ass . did you even think for a second how this implicated me , how it nearly wrecked my marriage ? the cops thought i demanded ransom money , and the whole time , you knew that i had nothing to do with it . neil : yeah . cane : yeah . neil : i did know . i did . i was responsible . i watched you try to save my son knowing i was the reason that he was a suspect . okay , you want to hear it from me ? yes , it was evil ! yes , it was low - down and dirty ! and hilary -- she grinds it in my face every chance she gets . cane : then cut her off at the knees and tell the damn truth ! neil : i ca n't do that ! and neither can you ! cane : why ? neil : devon does n't want this to come out any more than i do . cane : wait . are you telling me devon knows about this ? neil : yeah . that 's exactly what i 'm saying . he 's known about this for a while . cane : why has n't he gone to the police ? neil : because hilary begged him not to ! cane : [ chuckles ] okay . i get it now . this all happened back when hilary had amnesia , did n't it , and she thought she was with you . but now she 's with devon , right ? and the three of you had this little dirty secret going on . neil : yeah . cane : where you get your freedom , devon gets his wife back , and hilary -- well , she has power over both of you , does n't she ? neil : we made our choices , cane . cane : uh - huh . neil : and we are dealing with them . the three of us have an arrangement . cane : but it 's no longer just the three of you , is it , 'cause now i 'm involved , are n't i ? neil : if you have any respect at all for hilary and devon and their marriage and the pain that they 've been through , you wo n't tell the entire world this secret . cane : but i 'm not gon na tell the entire world , okay ? i 'm only gon na tell just one person . lily . neil : cane , you listen to me . you listen to me good . you ca n't tell lily anything . cane : i 'm not lying to her . neil : hey , stop , stop , stop ! just think about this for one minute , okay ? please . cane : my wife deserves to know who her father is . neil : this family has been through enough , man . leave it alone ! all right . all right , just hear me out . you need to understand the three people who are involved with this -- hilary , devon , and me -- we hurt each other badly . we hurt ourselves . but i made peace with devon . life -- life will never be the same . the damage has already been done , but you know something ? my son and i , we made it through . this family survived , and somehow we found our own kind of forgiveness . cane : [ scoffs ] neil : if -- if you tell lily , i might lose her . cane : whose fault is that ? neil : it 's my fault ! cane : yeah , it 's your fault . neil : `` let he who is without sin cast the first stone . `` let me remind you , you were right here where i am right now . you deceived this entire family ! you pretended to be dead ! lily was inconsolable , cane . imagine how you would feel if your little girl did n't want anything to do with you . how would you feel if your little girl looked up at you with disappointment and resentment in her eyes ? ! i love lily , the same -- the same way that you love mattie ! and if you tell her this , she might walk out of my life forever . cane : we do n't keep secrets anymore , neil . neil : oh ? okay . then -- then you want to hurt her . is that what you 're saying ? cane : no , i do n't want to hurt her ! i want to protect her from this mess ! neil : then why you gon na tell her ? why are you gon na tell her ? you already said it . devon , hilary , me -- we have to live with the filth of this secret . why are you gon na drag your wife , your beautiful wife , through this ? devon : things between me and hilary are complicated . lily : okay , let 's be honest . things have always been complicated since the moment hilary stepped into town . you did n't shy away from her issues when you were first attracted to her , so why are you backing down now ? there 's a marriage at stake . look , your wife is here , and i 'm gon na talk to abby . devon : okay . go on ahead and let her know , please , that we 're here for her . lily : yeah , talk about issues . at least yours do n't involve crimes . now talk to your wife . hilary : talk to me about what ? dylan : talk to your wife . you guys , talk to each other . no accusations , no assumptions . i 'll let you know as soon as i get word on max . abby : i do care about max , no matter what you think . stitch : yeah ? is that why you brought in the police ? abby : i called dylan to look at the security footage from the day that i fell . i needed to know for the sake of our baby . stitch : you did it to incriminate my son , to make him out to be some demon child . abby : no ! no , not a demon . he 's a child in pain . we have known that max has been angry since he got here . stitch : angry . not a maniac . abby : he was acting out , and it got worse . and even with all the proof , you did n't want to see it . you always thought that there would be some sort of explanation or that it was a misunderstanding . stitch : he could n't , okay ? there 's ... there 's no way a kid , my son , he just ... he could n't . abby : i took max 's mom away from him . that 's what max thinks . because i called to see if she would let him come to our wedding . so me , our wedding -- it cost him his mom , and that 's a huge loss . and then here i am . i 'm taking up space in your life , in your heart , and he did n't want me to replace jenna , not with you or with him . i wanted to be a good stepmom . i did . and maybe i got it wrong . and i wish that we had found a way to be a family . i wish that we were still picking out names for our little girl , for max 's little sister , but we 're not . [ voice breaking ] she is gone . just like max wanted . stitch : you talk about him like he 's evil . because that 's what you think he is . ashley : we 're gon na figure this out , honey . we will . in the meantime , um , there 's games on my computer from the last time you came to visit . why do n't you go in there and hang out , and neville and i are gon na have a little discussion , okay ? hey , max . good job coming here . dr. neville : [ sighs ] mixing up a batch of slime is n't gon na fix this , is it ? ashley : this was not a prank . dr. neville : you actually think he wanted abby to lose the baby ? ashley : shh . dr. neville : you did n't so much as blink when he mentioned that thing about wanting people to laugh . ashley : because i did n't want him to freak out , but believe me , my blood ran cold . dr. neville : well , i 'm not surprised . ashley , he 's -- he 's just a child . i know that you mentioned that abby suspected this , but -- ashley : i thought that maybe abby was just trying to find somebody to blame , but she obviously saw something in max that we did n't or maybe we did n't even want to . did you hear him ? did you hear that child when he said that tripping her was a prank ? i mean , it was so cold . dr. neville : well , it is plausible . i mean , in my youth , i may have blown up a garage just for -- ashley : neville , please . dr. neville : sorry . ashley : max is certainly old enough to realize that when a pregnant woman falls down a flight of stairs , she could lose her baby . dr. neville : huh . ashley : he planned this . he wanted this baby shower . he knew the exact time and place . dr. neville : but that level of planning , that level of calculation , i mean -- why would he come here and confess now ? ashley : because of the fire that happened at the gcac . abby told me that there was proof that he was in the server room . he was trying to destroy any kind of evidence of what he 'd done . dr. neville : ah , so now he comes here quaking -- ashley : with a cover story . this is unbelievable . he wants me to relay that story to abby and ben and plead his case . do you realize what he 's doing ? he 's using me . dr. neville : so , what now ? ashley : i know what i have to do . abby : max is n't evil . but he has more pain and rage than we could ever comprehend . we 're adults . we can go to therapy . we can shout to the sky . we can punch in a wall . but max -- he just has all of these -- these thoughts and feelings , feelings that -- that made him get into fights at school and accuse you of mistreating him . then it was the fire alarm , my fall , and then the fire . he 's getting worse . stitch : he is n't getting worse , okay ? he 's just ... he just needs time to adjust . abby : ben ... loving max means you have to see it . loving your son means that you have to stop him . he needs help . your son needs you , and i want to be there for both of you . i will do whatever i can to support you through this so no one else gets hurt . stitch : this is -- this is all my fault , okay ? i messed this whole thing up . i will take care of him . max needs me , all right ? so i will be there for him . i 'm -- i 'm all he has left . abby : you ca n't do it alone . you know when you treat a patient ? you -- you have a whole team . i - i - i can be your team . stitch : my son is not sick . abby : i did n't mean it like that . stitch : okay , this is not a patient . this is my little boy , and i will get him through this . abby : i know you love him . but sometimes love 's not enough . stitch : all right , you know , i ... i 'm sorry . i ... i ca n't do this right now . i got -- i got to go find max . [ cell phone rings ] stitch : max ! ashley : it 's ashley . max is here with me at the lab , though . stitch : thank god . ashley : i have n't called anybody yet . stitch : no dylan ? no cops ? ashley : no . stitch : all right , tell max i 'm on the way . and , ashley , tell him i love him . ashley : i will . your dad says he loves you very much . um , so , honey , when he gets here , you just tell him what you told us , all right ? and then , uh , he 'll understand everything . devon : which one of your jobs was that phone call about ? hilary : that was another huge donation for the foundation . devon : oh , good . hilary : i am just sending myself a reminder to set up some press for that donation . maybe a photo op with a massive , giant cardboard check . [ chuckles ] i know it 's cheesy , but it 's effective . devon : i guess the donor could just present the check straight to neil , right ? hilary : oh , yeah , but neil does n't have time for that . that 's why he leaves it to me . devon : you do n't think that it would -- it would present , like , an image of family and teamwork , though ? huh ? hilary : neil has his duties , and i have mine . besides , i do n't mind posing for a few photos . it 's all for the foundation . devon : yeah . are you -- are you worried at all about how neil 's gon na treat you if you work on an event together ? 'cause i know things are n't great between you two . hilary : that 's not true . [ chuckles ] we understand each other . we 're in a good place . devon : um , he just tried to get you kicked off the board . hilary : yes , but he did n't . here i am . okay , neil -- he understands how passionate i am about this project . and , devon , you were there . you saw neil convince jack to keep me on the board . devon : no , i know . i did . i - i 'm -- it just -- it feels like there 's more to it , like there 's extra motivation . hilary : well , maybe it 's because neil knows we 're family . we have each other 's back . devon : you have his back ? hilary : yes . devon : yeah ? hilary : why ? what 's wrong with that ? devon : i know what you did . i know that you blackmailed neil and that you 've been lying to my face about it . so , do you think that your actions do n't have consequences , or do you just not care at all ? lily : hey . cane : hey . lily : why did you want to meet here instead of at the club ? cane : do n't you want to enjoy a beautiful spring day outdoors with your husband ? lily : yeah , honey , i would , but a lot of stuff 's going on at work right now . cane : um ... there 's something i need to talk to you about . uh , i wanted to talk to you about it someplace quiet . sit down with me for a second . come here . lily : hmm . sounds ominous . [ cell phone rings ] lily : oh . oh , that 's dad . i should take this . cane : no , no , do n't -- do n't get it . lily : well , it could be about max . cane : it 's not about max . lily : so you know why he 's calling ? cane : yeah , i - i - i - i do , and , um , i need to talk to you first . lily : okay . so , you have my undivided attention . what 's so important that you have to tell me ? cane : i do n't want to say this 'cause i know it 's gon na hurt you . but we do n't have secrets anymore . lily : what is it ? cane : it 's about your father . abby : just when i thought i was getting through to ben , he shut me down , took off . dylan : he 's in denial . and i do n't even know how you process your kid being in that kind of emotional trouble . abby : ben blames himself and me and our marriage . he ca n't look at me without thinking it 's my fault . i can see it in his eyes . dylan : that 's not true . stitch carries a lot of guilt . he always has . i mean , he felt guilty leaving our unit to go home when max was born . and i know he feels guilty for letting things get out of control with his ex , and i am sure that he blames himself for max being messed up . abby : but this , it 's -- it 's not like you could see it coming . it 's not like it was just a kid acting out . it was something deeper , something darker , something that ben ca n't fix . dylan : well , he 's not gon na want to fix anything at all until we find max , so can you think of anyplace he might be ? abby : he 's just a kid . he ca n't go anywhere on his own , and he has n't made any friends . dylan : [ sighs ] no one to turn to if he 's in a bad way ? abby : actually , um , there is one person . stitch : ashley . ashley : hey . stitch : thank god . i 've been going nuts worrying about max . how 's he doing ? ashley : he 's okay . i mean , it 's a lot for a little kid to handle . stitch : is he in your office alone ? ashley : he 's with neville . and he 's safe . he 's not going anywhere . that 's all that matters . stitch : i need to see him . ashley : hold on a second . you need to know this . i spoke to him , and i think -- i know -- that abby 's right about him . and he -- he needs to see his father . ben , honestly , you have to be objectively looking at him , i mean , like a doctor , like a -- like a scientist . you need to hear what he has to say . i mean , really hear him , okay ? that 's the only way this is ever gon na get fixed . i 'm so sorry . dr. neville : would you like something from the vending machine ? maybe some juice ? [ door opens ] max : daddy ! stitch : buddy . please do n't scare me like that . never again , okay ? [ breathing heavily ] lily : what about dad ? is he drinking again ? cane : no , no . no , he 's -- he 's not drinking . it 's -- it 's -- it 's -- it 's -- lily : what ? is he -- is he sick ? is it his liver ? cane : no , he 's not sick . he 's healthy . he 's healthy . lily : well , then what is it ? cane : [ sighs deeply ] [ inhales sharply ] this is -- this is gon na be really hard for me to say , and it 's gon na be even harder for you to hear -- lily : oh , my god , cane . just spit it out . what is it ? tell me . you 're driving me crazy . cane : neil has been lying to you for a long time about something , and hilary and devon , they -- they know about it , as well . lily : what did he do ? cane : neil kidnapped hilary . lily : [ scoffs ] what ? what are you talking about ? cane : the whole time she was captive and we were looking for her ... it -- it was your dad . he had her . hilary : when did neil tell you about our agreement ? devon : it 's not an agreement . it 's blackmail . hilary : when did he tell you ? devon : it -- it does n't matter when he told me . hilary : no , it does . because how long have you been sitting on this information and you never talked to me about it ? you could have just come to me , devon . devon : you made it very clear , honey , that i should just support you no matter what . was n't that right ? hilary : okay , no , no , you know that that 's not how it is . devon : i do n't . i thought i did , and i thought i knew you , but i do n't , okay ? and i 've been searching for some form of regret that you have , but i ca n't find it . you do realize that threats and blackmail are n't a good thing ? hilary : [ scoffs ] i am sorry that you are upset and that you did n't feel like you could come to me , but it 's -- it 's really simple , devon . neil owes me . for him to stand between me and what i want , what i need to succeed and to thrive , that is not okay . he lost that right a long time ago . and neil calls it blackmail ? [ scoffs ] well , i call it a reminder that he never paid for what he did to us , a reminder of how lucky he really is to have his freedom . [ footsteps approach ] neil : hey . i hate to break up this party , but we have an issue that we have to deal with . hilary : yeah , i took care of it , neil . next time have a little discretion . neil : we 've got a much bigger problem than your ego right now . neil : cane heard you bragging that you got a sword over my neck . you could n't shut up , could you ? you could n't shut up . now he knows that i 'm the one who was hiding you while you were in the coma . devon : well , what the hell . what 's he gon na do ? neil : i made it very clear that this was between the three of us and there was no need to drag lily into it . devon : did he listen to you ? neil : i do n't know . i 've tried calling lily many times , but she 's not answering the phone . hilary : is she with him now ? neil : i have no idea . we better pray that man stays quiet , because if he does n't , if he tells lily about this , this whole world of ours is gon na blow up , and it 's gon na take us with it . lily : after all this time that we thought hilary was dead and people thought devon murdered her and joe framed you for blackmail -- through all of that , they lied to us ? cane : neil begged me not to say anything , but i made it very clear to him we do n't lie to each other anymore . lily : my dad ... what ? i mean , how ... how could he do this ? how could he do this ? abby : mom , have you seen max ? has he tried to call you ? dr. neville : well , it 's been an eventful day , no mistake . i was on my way to the vending machines . perhaps you 'd like to join me . abby : what ? no . no . max is missing . dylan : we 're trying to figure out where he may have gone , so if you have any ideas -- ashley : he 's actually in my office with his father right now . abby : what ? why did n't you say that when we walked in ? dr. neville : because he needs a moment alone with his father , not the authorities . abby : so you still do n't believe me . ashley : honey , just the opposite . i spoke to max , and i think you 're absolutely right . he wanted to hurt you , honey , and he wanted to hurt your baby . but right now , he needs to be alone with his dad , and his dad needs to hear him , hear everything he has to say . and i hope you can just be here as a friend , please , and not as the police , because they need to be alone and talk this out right now . abby : why ? so he can keep lying ? 'cause i guarantee you that 's all he 's doing in there . ashley : abby , do n't . please . honestly , just let them talk . stitch : buddy , you have got to stop scaring me like this . you know , there 's no reason to run off like that . if you did n't do anything wrong , there 's ... there 's nothing to be afraid of , right ? max : but i did do something . stitch : max , did you , um ... did you make abby fall ? max : but just as a prank . that 's all . stitch : just a prank , huh ? you did n't tell me before because -- 'cause you were scared ? max : i was scared you would n't love me anymore . stitch : i told you , i will always love you , max . nothing 's ever gon na change that . max , look at me . i will never stop loving you . i will always look out for you . max : but , dad , they 're coming for me . we -- you and me , we have to get out of here . we have to leave now ! abby : you 're not going anywhere . [ next_on ] jack : whatever you heard -- phyllis : no , it is what i saw when i went to billy 's . he is sleeping with fiona ! victoria : i am not subjecting the children to this . we 're turning right around and we 're leaving right now . billy : victoria , you do that , i will call the cops . stitch : i need you to be honest with me . i want to know the truth . | devon is worried that hilary is n't the woman he married because she had become cold , calculating , and power hungry . but lily advises him to continue to fight for his marriage and confront hilary about his feelings . devon confront hilary , but she insists that she will fight for what she wants and does n't care what she has to do to fulfill her ambitions . cane forces neil to tell him the truth about the motive of hilary 's blackmail . neil tells him the truth about hilary 's kidnapping and pleads with him not to tell lily . cane meets with lily in the park and tells her the whole kidnapping story . lily is upset that devon did n't tell her the truth . |
hilary : you gold digger ! mariah : fake celebrity ! hilary : talentless wannabe ! mariah : have you slept with jordan 's dad yet ? ! or are you waiting till you 're married , hilary ? ! aah ! [ both screaming ] devon : we can break out the sparkling cider when the contracts are signed and mergeron enterprises is officially ours . neil : yeah , do you think that dina will go back on her word ? devon : no , no . i 'm just being cautious . neil : i think it 's the fact that you are katherine chancellor 's grandson . that 's what clinched the deal . enjoy the victory lap . devon : i really do feel like my life is heading in the right direction now .

[ guitar strumming ] tessa : thanks for the support . chelsea : okay . so let me get this straight . chloe sent two letters . kevin : one to me and one to billy . chelsea : saying the same thing . kevin : that bella could be his or mine . chelsea : but she 's yours ? kevin : yeah . bella 's my daughter . chelsea : so , why did n't chloe just tell you that when she first came to town ? why go through all the trouble to hide it ? i mean , she even faked the first dna test . oh , my god . it just shows what a manipulative whack job she really is . kevin : she 's sick , chelsea . chelsea : you 're making it sound like she 's got a cold . she is a manipulative murderer who has absolutely zero remorse for everything that she 's done , and i really wish that you would just start to accept that . kevin : i have . i know that what she did to adam and to you afterwards was unforgivable . and lying about bella 's paternity was twisted . that does n't change the fact that she needed help she did n't get . she was failed by the system . she was released from a mental hospital . how did that even happen ? scott : my job is to keep an eye on abby ? victor : my daughter is very ambitious and very headstrong ... but she lacks experience . want you to help her make the right decisions . and her success is very important to me , as is her loyalty . scott : you want me to spy on her . victor : i simply think it 's a good idea for abby to work with one of her contemporaries . scott : i do n't have any corporate experience . victor : you 've done a lot of journalistic work . i 've read some of it . very good . you 've researched the inner workings of big companies , of governments , so you know a lot about the real world . scott : the real world is not a very pretty place , victor . corruption , embezzlement ... is that really what you want me to teach your daughter ? victor : my beautiful daughter grew up in a rather privileged world . she lacks street smarts . that 's where you come in . i want you to help her hone those skills . scott : yeah ... i do n't know . victor : does that mean you 're reneging on our deal ? scott : absolutely not . if you want me to work at newman , i will . i just ... i do n't want to be a babysitter . victor : that 's not my intention . [ knock on door ] victor : come in . abby : sorry . i 'll come back . victor : that 's all right , sweetheart . scott is the reason that i asked you to come back . nikki : i 'll tell you , being in front of that crowd , the music and the energy , it was just so exhilarating . and that feeling stayed with me until i found out that your father had been at the performance . nick : yeah , noah told me he called him . nikki : well , he probably thought he was doing your father a favor , because he thinks we 're blissfully happy . nick : if he only knew the truth . nikki : well , do n't even think about it . i 'm not getting another member of this family mixed up in this . i can handle your father . nick : well , i 'm just starting to worry that this might be , you know , too much for you . nikki : i see . so , you did n't come over here to tease me about my debut at the underground . you 're here to check up on me . nick : and would that be so bad ? nikki : actually , no , i think that would be very endearing , and i love you for it . but i 'm fine . that man will not break me . not this time . nick : all right . so , let 's change the subject . i want to ask you something very important . nikki : okay . nick : in the future ... who 's gon na get top billing -- you or tessa ? nikki : stop it ! oh , my god . well , tessa , of course . oh , poor tessa . i do n't -- i do n't know what to do . nick : why ? what 's wrong ? nikki : i think that she 's living out of her car . nick : she 's homeless ? nikki : well , i think so . i 'm not certain . it 's not an easy subject to broach , especially somebody as independent as tessa . she might get offended and just take off before i can even offer to help her . nick : seems like you 're getting pretty involved in this girl 's life . nikki : you make that sound like a bad thing . [ guitar strumming ] chelsea : let me tell you something . the only person responsible for chloe 's actions is chloe . i do n't believe infinite hours of therapy could help that woman . she likes to toy with people 's lives , kevin , and she 's still doing it . i mean , sending those letters ? she 's still messing with you . kevin : she sent those letters so that bella would have a father . she was n't being malicious . chelsea : okay . if you say so . kevin : look , i have to keep telling myself that , okay ? for bella 's sake . i ca n't waste energy thinking about everything that chloe did , not when my daughter needs my full attention . and it 's not easy , being a single parent , which you know . chelsea : i do know , and ... if you need help , if you need any advice , you can always call me . i 'm always here for you . and i know connor misses bella . we should -- we should set up a playdate with the two of them . kevin : we would love that . chelsea : wait . so , does chloe even know that you are actually has she tried to contact you ? kevin : not in person . she just sent two letters with two different return addresses from two different countries . she does n't want to be found . chelsea : do you want to find her ? kevin : if the choice is knowing that she 's in a state prison or that she 's safe but i never get to see her again , i would choose for her to be safe . i know you do n't agree with that . chelsea : maybe i should start taking a page out of your book and just not waste my energy on her . devon : you know , when we first started talking about acquiring new companies , i honestly never thought that we would get something this big this quick . neil : i ca n't believe it was tailor - made to suit our needs , man -- a multi- national that owns a cutting - edge streaming service . devon : yep . neil : something for everyone . devon : you know , it 's gon na take us from unknown to major power player a lot quicker than we anticipated . are you ready for all that ? neil : you 're not questioning my skills , are you ? devon : i 'm just saying . you seemed a little nervous on the plane when dina started playing hard ball , so ... neil : that was just you seeing your reflection in the mirror . see , because i am cool , calm , and collected . yeah , that 's right . devon : okay . hey , what do you think the deal is with the , uh -- the guy that was with her , graham ? with dina ? you think those two are ... ? neil : graham ? no , no . i do n't even want to think about that . devon : she does seem like a pretty tough bird . neil : she warned us she drives a hard bargain . and it 's true -- we got to be prepared . devon : i 've got an army of lawyers , including michael baldwin , so if she tries to come after us or anything , you know , we 'll be ready . neil : no doubt , it 's gon na be complicated . and not just for us . [ door opens ] [ door slams ] hilary : what the hell were you thinking , giving my clothes to that `` thirsty `` bitch ? ! neil : what happened with you ? hilary : nothing . devon : your hair is messed up , and your clothes are ripped . hilary : there was a little `` situation `` at work , and it got a little messy , okay ? devon : how 'd you get in here , by the way ? hilary : my keys . devon : i 'm gon na go ahead and get the locks changed . neil : okay . you were saying about your clothes ? hilary : his girlfriend showed up to work wearing one of my designer dresses . neil : you gave mariah your ex 's threads ? devon : no , it was something she had n't even worn before . the tags were still on it . hilary : [ scoffs ] neil : all right , look -- i 'm not gon na be involved with this . i 'll let you two work it out . thank you . i will see you later . and good luck . hilary : you do realize that i am staying at the club until i find my own place . there 's no room for everything . devon : then you know what ? get a storage unit . hilary : i did n't ask for a penny in the divorce . the least that you can do is let me leave a few of my things here . devon : i thought you did n't want anything from me . is n't that right ? hilary : fine ! fine . i will figure something out ! devon : you do that . [ both laughing ] [ guitar strumming ] tessa : thank you . thank you so much . appreciate it . oh , thank you , thank you . mariah : mind blown . when did you find out that bella was your biological daughter ? kevin : a few days ago . mariah : and you did n't tell me ? kevin : it took a few days to process it . i had to get bella settled . mariah : this is fantastic ! seriously , i 'm so happy for you -- and your daughter ! kevin : thanks . you seem like you 're having a good day , too . what 's up ? mariah : i finally decided to grab life by the hair . kevin : by the hair ? mariah : never mind , never mind . kevin : do n't you `` never mind `` me . tell me . mariah : well ... devon and i are a thing . kevin : a `` thing `` thing ? mariah : a bona fide thing . kevin : nice . mariah : look at us . the town misfits -- we 're finally growing up . kevin : yeah . well , this grown - up has to go pick up his daughter at preschool . how cool is that ? mariah : so cool . kevin : bye . mariah : bye . [ guitar strumming ] mariah : yay ! tessa : thank you . mariah : great song . tessa : oh , thanks . it 's new . mariah : you should play it at the underground . tessa : oh , maybe . i just played there last night . mariah : you did ? oh , i 'm sorry i missed it . i had other plans . how did it go ? tessa : great . i actually even ended up jamming with nikki newman . mariah : [ chuckling ] okay . oh , you 're serious . tessa : yeah , yeah , and she rocked . mariah : nikki newman ? as in victor newman 's wife ? tessa : yep . nick : look , mom , i like tessa . you know , she was awesome with christian . nikki : yes , but i worry -- nick : but you have a lot going on right now , and i 'm worried that if you take this on , too ... it 's just gon na be too stressful for you . nikki : stress is not knowing where your next meal is coming from . it 's not having a safe place to live . i have been there . i know exactly how tessa feels . and i think it would unconscionable not to help her . i would n't be where i am today if people had n't helped me . nick : all right , well , you just have to promise me , then , that if it gets to be too much that you will let me know . nikki : i will . nick : all right . well , tessa 's very lucky to have you in her corner . nikki : mm . i 'm not the only newman in her fan club . nick : [ chuckles ] yeah , noah . nikki : oh , you noticed . nick : oh , it 's hard not to . i mean , he 's trying to play it cool , but he 's got that puppy - dog thing going on . nikki : that 's so cute , though . well , after his broken engagement , he deserves some happiness . as does his father . how are things with chelsea ? nick : we 're good . nikki : i 'm so glad to hear that . keeping your father 's secret has done some damage to your sister 's relationship . i would hate for it to happen to you , too . nick : there is no way i 'm letting dad mess this up for us . jordan : damn , girl . this is a step up from the last place we were together . it was crazy running into you last night . chelsea : yeah , no kidding . i did n't expect to ever see you again . jordan : our last job ended so abruptly , we did n't even get a chance to say goodbye . chelsea : yeah , i went one way , you went the other ... jordan : and ended up with a legit gig , just like you . and neither one of us want to revisit `` the good old days `` with our current squeezes , am i right ? chelsea : i think it 's best . i do n't think anyone needs to know about our previous collaborations . jordan : we did well together , though . chelsea : we did , but that was another lifetime ago . but i mean , it still does n't mean we have to avoid each other . we 're both in the fashion industry , so i do n't think anyone would find it strange that we know each other . jordan : the perfect cover story . now that we got that out of the way , we good ? 'cause i got to go . chelsea : actually , i did n't just ask you to come over so we can make sure we got our stories straight . jordan : you need something . chelsea : and you 're the only one who can help me . jordan : so , that girl killed your husband and then lived with you ? you got to find you some better friends , girl . i am -- i 'm so sorry that you had to go through that . it must 've been hell . chelsea : yeah , it was . the worst part was having to tell my son that his daddy is never coming home . i mean , still sometimes , at night , connor calls out for adam . breaks my heart all over again . so i go into his room , and i hold him , and i just lay with him until he falls asleep and hope that he does n't see me cry . but as of today , i am done crying . jordan : what happened today ? chelsea : after kevin told me about those letters , it just -- it made me realize just how methodical chloe is . i mean , she had an exit strategy , and she had somebody helping her . adam deserves justice , and the only i 'm gon na be able to give him that justice is , i have to find her . jordan : do the cops have any leads ? chelsea : no . no . and since she has n't been formally charged , she 's not even on the fbi 's radar . jordan : so she 's a ghost . chelsea : for now . but if chloe 's traveling , it means that she has a fake passport and a good one ... like the ones you ... jordan : i used to make ? chelsea : yeah . you were the best . jordan : i told you , i 'm -- i 'm out of that . that was a long time ago , chels . chelsea : what ? i mean , you have n't kept any of your old contacts ? jordan : what for ? to get an opinion on how to shoot a winter catalogue ? i told you , i put the past in the rearview , and ... i just do n't want to look back . chelsea : yeah , and i do n't want chloe getting away with murder ! [ sighs ] look , she was my best friend ... and she hunted down my husband like he was an animal . i mean , she ripped the wedding ring off of his finger , and she kept it , like it was a trophy . she -- she left him to in a burning cabin to die . so , with or without your help , i am going to find her , and i am going to find the person that helped her , and i 'm gon na make them pay . jordan : look , hey , hey ... look ... i got you . i 'm gon na make some calls . all right ? victor : scott is going to be working here . abby : doing what ? writing the newsletter ? scott : oh , excellent use of humor , abby . who knew you had it in you ? abby : dad , if you 're looking to add someone to the team , i 'm sure there are much more qualified people who would kill for a job at newman . victor : the difference , my darling , is that he has real - life experience . abby : code word for learning on the job . victor : and guess who 's going to instruct him . you . abby : me ? victor : yeah . abby : me ? we 're -- we 're working together ? scott : ai n't that a kick in the pants ? abby : what 's he gon na be doing ? victor : he 's going to be senior v.p . of special projects . abby : i 'm sorry . what ? that -- that 's not a title . that 's not even a title . it does n't mean anything . scott : it means you get to see my handsome face every single day . abby : dad , surely , someone else would be more qualified for the job . victor : i do n't think so , my darling . he 's very qualified . abby : can i talk to you alone for a second , please ? victor : sure . scott : if you need me , i 'll be in the executive break room with the other senior v.p.s , checking out the prime doughnut selection . abby : well , it 's good to know how little you think of me . mariah : i 'm trying to imagine nikki up on stage , but ... nope , i ca n't . tessa : why not ? mariah : well , she 's kind of the `` lady of the manor . `` i can imagine her sitting at the ranch , eating cucumber sandwiches , sipping tea with her pinky in the air . tessa : that 's just -- that 's not the nikki newman i know . she wants to have fun in her life . but she has all these expectations she has to live up to . i just wish she could be herself . mariah : i guess you never know what goes on behind closed doors . but , hey , the ranch -- it 's pretty sweet , right ? tessa : oh , yeah . you live there with your mom , right ? mariah : sharon . horses are n't really my thing , but if you ever feel like laying out by the pond , catching some rays , maybe throwing back a couple of drinks , i 'm your gal . [ cell phone rings ] tessa : yeah , that 'd be great . sorry . hey , nikki . oh . oh , yeah , yeah . i can be over there . is this about the benefit or ... ? oh , okay , yeah . mariah : what 's up ? tessa : uh , nikki wants me over there , like , a.s.a.p . maybe dragging her up onstage was not a good idea after all . hilary : i will come back for the rest of my things later . devon : hey , it does n't have to be today , okay ? i 'm not gon na touch your stuff anymore . hilary : oh , thanks . but i do n't want the other women that you 're sleeping with helping themselves to my wardrobe . devon : and how many women you think i 'm sleeping with ? hilary : i do n't know . devon : and who said i 'm even sleeping with mariah ? hilary : well , was n't that the point of her wearing my dress ? so that she can flaunt the fact that she spent the night here ? devon : no , i did n't mean for that . hilary : yeah , you may not have , but she definitely did . devon : can you tell me why we 're even doing this ? 'cause we 're not married anymore . it should n't matter to you who i bring home , right ? hilary : oh , it does n't . i just do n't want any of them wearing my clothes . oh , and , um , one more thing , devon . while you 're getting yours with mariah , i 'm getting mine with jordan . we 've been having sex for ... weeks now . and it is off the chain . jordan : guess you schooled him , huh ? so i 'm just your boy toy . that 's how it is ? hilary : no , no , okay ? he was -- he was throwing his relationship with mariah in my face , okay ? jordan : and you had to one - up him . if you 're using me to try to prove a point to your ex , i 'm not interested . find some other chump . chelsea : i heard voices . is everything okay out here , jordan ? jordan : that 's what i want to know . hilary : how do you know jordan ? jordan : we met at fashion week . chelsea : how do you know jordan ? hilary : we 're dating . jordan : now we 're dating ? the other day , i was just a friend -- a secret . chelsea : okay . well , sounds like you guys have a lot to discuss , so i 'm gon na go . call me later . jordan : do we have a lot to talk about ? or should we just go our separate ways ? abby : it 's no wonder that victoria bailed after all of those years of trying to prove herself to you . you do n't think a woman is worthy of your legacy , not even your own flesh and blood . victor : sweetheart , stop it . that 's insulting , all right ? you know damn well there 's several female executives working at our company that are doing a damn good job . abby : mm . but i 'm not . otherwise , you would n't have hired some journalist with zero experience as senior v.p . to work with me . dad , his only qualification is that he 's a man . oh , and that he owes you his life . victor : i simply asked you to teach him the ins and outs of the corporate business world , all right ? abby : you can put lipstick on a pig , but it 's still a pig . and this setup is one big , fat , ugly pig . i resent being put in this position . victor : you 're so vehement about your opposition to this . do you have something against scott grainger ? tessa : i got to ask , are you , like , pissed about last night ? 'cause i thought it would be fun . that 's the only reason i called you up onstage . if i put you on the spot and you hated it , i 'm so sorry . nikki : tessa , i loved it . tessa : oh , whew . okay . cool . nikki : next time , maybe a little heads - up , though ? tessa : oh . yeah , will do . you sounded awesome , by the way . not just blowing smoke . nikki : well , that 's why i like you . you tell it like it is . tessa : well , no point in sugarcoating it . nikki : i agree . tessa : man , i have to admit , driving over here , i thought my days were numbered . nikki : you really thought i would fire you for asking me to perform ? tessa : i was sweating it , for sure . nikki : why would you feel that way ? tessa : you have a classy reputation , and ... being around someone like me might trash it . nikki : do n't you worry about my reputation . i like you , tessa . in fact , i have a proposition for you . abby : scott is condescending and self - righteous , but , no , he is the least of my problems . dad , this all seems arbitrary . victor : i do n't do things arbitrarily , my darling . i have my reasons . abby : dad , i 'm -- i 'm your daughter . you do n't have to test me . my loyalty is with you and this company . do n't you trust me ? victor : everyone who works for me has to earn my trust . that goes for your siblings , as well -- for everyone . abby : i understand , but have n't i done that ? i ran this company successfully while you were out of town , and now it seems like you 're having second thoughts about my future here . victor : i do not have second thoughts about your abilities at all . if that were the case , you and i would n't be sitting here discussing this . abby : okay . fine , yes , i -- i will work with scott . yes , it 'll be a learning experience -- for both of us . victor : there 's no limit to what you can achieve in this company , okay ? [ telephone rings ] victor : yeah . send him in . abby : okay , dad , i will check back in with you later . victor : bye - bye , sweetheart . scott : mmm . want a bite ? abby : i avoid empty calories . scott : your loss . everything set ? victor : i think so . abby ? abby : absolutely . victor : i will leave you to it . i have a meeting to attend . abby : bye , dad . victor : bye - bye , sweetheart . scott : if it 's any consolation , i was just as surprised by all this as you were . abby : it 's not a consolation at all . but please , sit . i have some things i need to say to you . tessa : you want me to move in ? here ? nikki : well , i 've put a lot of thought into it , and i think it 's the perfect solution for both of us . tessa : yeah . nikki : yeah . and the benefit 's coming up soon , and we 're gon na be putting tons of hours in , and this will save you from driving back and forth from your place to here and save on gas and maintenance and everything . tessa : you 've seen lucille -- my car . nikki : yes , i have , and she reminds me very much of my first car . tessa : she may not look pretty , but she 's reliable . nikki : well , she 'd have her own spot in the garage here , and you would have your own suite of rooms . tessa : `` suite of rooms `` ? nikki : and when we 're not working , you wo n't know i 'm here . tessa : what ... about your better half ? nikki : you wo n't see him , either . tessa : no , that 's not what i meant . nikki : no , i 'm not kidding . when i told you that he 's very rarely here , it 's true . i mean , aside from running newman enterprises , he has a side project he 's working on now , keeping him very busy , so ... what do you say , tessa ? tessa : if you do n't mind me asking ... why are you really doing this ? chelsea : i saw kevin at the park earlier , and you 're never gon na believe this . he 's bella 's biological father . nick : what ? chelsea : yeah . they did a new dna test . nick : wait . does this mean the cops found chloe ? chelsea : no . she 's still on the run . nick : well , then , how did kevin know to do another test ? chelsea : chloe sent a letter . well , she sent two letters , actually . she sent one to billy , as well . nick : to billy ? chelsea : that part 's a long story . anyway , she sent the letters from two different countries to cover her tracks , okay ? so she is not the pitiful person that kevin wants us to feel sorry for , this unstable person . no , not at all . she is cunning , like i used to be . so i 've decided it 's time to fight fire with fire . nick : okay . if you 're thinking that you 're gon na go after chloe on your own and try and find her , please do n't do that . hilary : why do n't i ... model this one for you ? jordan : you know what ? i 'm good . hilary : do n't be like that . okay . i apologize for talking about you like you were a piece of meat . a very tasty , grade - a cut piece of meat . i let devon get under my skin , and maybe i should n't have said anything . but you popped off on him the other day , so i thought that everything was out in the open . i did n't -- i did n't realize that you did n't want people to know that we were ... sleeping together . jordan : right . so you would 've been fine with me telling billy and cane how great you are between the sheets ? hilary : i get it , all right ? it 's all about context . jordan : if this was just a hookup , it 'd be different . see , i -- i thought it was something real . that 's why i invited you to that work dinner at the top of the tower . i knew that it 'd turn a few heads , but i did n't care , because i was with you . but ever since that night , you just -- you just been putting me off . hilary : no , that 's not true . it meant a lot to me that you invited me to dinner . finalizing my divorce was hard -- harder than i expected , okay ? so maybe i just -- i needed a little time to myself . jordan : and what about now ? hilary : devon shutting that door on me , it was like ... him shutting the door on the past . and it felt good and liberating . so , no , i do n't need any more time . so , why do n't i slip out of this ... and slip into your arms ? jordan : look , do n't even try it , hilary . i 'm not as dumb as you think i am . chelsea : nick , i know that the police are looking for chloe , but it 's been weeks , and they have zero leads , and it 's starting to become very frustrating . nick : i know . and i get it . you want to take matters into your own hands and find her on your own , but do n't do that . chloe 's dangerous . she has taken so much from you already . do n't let her take any more . chelsea : fine . i guess you 're right . i ... i 'm just blowing off some steam .

arturo : i do n't think he gives a damn . lola : family is so important to rey . obviously more important than it is to you . arturo : rey is not the saint you think he is , lola . lola : how you could even say that ? okay ? rey has bailed us out and has forgiven us more times than we can both count . arturo : he has every mistake we 've ever made right here , just waiting to use it against us . lola : he would never do that . arturo : [ scoffs ] lola , you need to wake up , okay ? our brother can be a vindictive bastard . if he finds out this baby is n't his , you 'll see i 'm right . lola : no , whether he 's the father or the uncle , he 'll love that kid . arturo : but he 'll make sure its mother goes to jail for something that was an accident . lola : what are you talking about ? arturo : nothing . lola : no . you said mia would go to jail for an accident . what accident ? arturo : i was mad . lola : what accident , arturo ? arturo : nothing ! drop it , lo ! just drop it ! lola : mine . it was my accident . mia was the one who attacked me that night . additional sponsorship devon : and so i want to have a plaque created right there for the stage . abby : mm . devon : so there can be something permanent . that way , people will never forget , you know ?

how are you doing ? devon : i 'm doing all right . just taking it one day at a time . abby : i 've seen you go through the motions , but ... really , how are you ? devon : opening night here was the first time since hilary died that i actually felt like i was alive , like i was enjoying life , and then it just kind of slipped through my fingers . abby : it wo n't be like this forever . devon : i know that . and , in the meantime , i 'm grateful that i have ana and jett and elena . abby : i 'm sure it 's made quite a difference having them here . devon : yeah , i do n't know how i 'd get through it if i did n't have them . lola : i 'm right ! it was mia ! arturo : no . lola : you 're lying to me i can see it in your eyes . arturo : you -- you 're like a sister to her , okay ? she -- she would never hurt you . lola : you said that rey would blame her for an accident . you were talking about my accident ! arturo : you misunderstood . lola : no . mia was the one who pushed me . arturo : that does n't even make sense . why would she do that ? lola : i do n't know , to get back at me for keeping her away from you and rey ... arturo : that 's crazy , lola ! lola : it 's mia , okay ? who know what goes on in her head ? arturo : not this ! okay , she would never want to see you in the hospital fighting for your life ! lola : but she would n't mind if it was abby . arturo : what does abby have to do with all of this ? lola : you know damn well what ! arturo : you 're getting yourself worked up . lola : please stop protecting her , arturo ! arturo : i 'm not . lola . lola , it just -- she would never hurt you , okay ? i 'm telling you , mia would never hurt you . lola : no , she would if she thought that i was abby , and i was wearing abby 's coat that night ! abby : lola , what is going -- what are you doing here ? lola : arturo came to give me some news . arturo : lola ... lola : i have to go out . i 'll be back before dinner . abby : i told you i did n't want you coming here and upsetting people . arturo : i 'm sorry , okay ? i never meant to cause this trouble . lauren : i read the prospectus for phyllis ' start - up . jack : i 'm sure it was a solid business proposal . lauren : very . i 'm just surprised that you would pass on something before you 'd read it . jack : i have no doubts about phyllis ' ability to deliver a profitable business model . lauren : so what 's the problem ? jack : you really want the answer to that ? lauren : i know phyllis is ... phyllis . but she 's just lost everything , jack . nick and her job and her friends ... jack : not all of her friends . lauren : she 's trying to get back on her feet . jack : she 's gon na have to do that somewhere else . taking on a disgruntled ex - c.e.o . is too risky . lauren : so if it were someone else , you would consider it . jack : [ sighs ] lauren : jack , it is not like you to let your personal feelings interfere with your business decisions . jack : it is n't like you , either . lauren : phyllis is my friend , but i 'm trying to be objective . i 'm suggesting you do the same . jack : lauren , you know i always value your honest opinion . lauren : so then i hope this means that you will at least try and read it . jack : i will , but i 'm making no promises . lauren : of course . and , listen , before i go , how 's your mother ? jack : [ sighs ] thanks for asking . no better . it 's just so painful , watching her decline . it 's nature at its cruelest , and after all the work to make her feel safe and secure , you know , the locks on the doors and full - time nurses , she still managed to slip out of the house the other day . she 's now wearing a gps bracelet . lauren : i 'm so sorry . i really am . please , if there 's anything that i can do . jack : thanks . i mean that . thanks mariah : i do n't think you get tessa , you know , her essence , her vibe . ana : really ? mariah : well , you 're trying to turn her into this pop princess , and that 's totally not who she is . not to mention , it 's already been done . ana : i did n't realize you were an expert on the music biz . mariah : you asked . tessa : and you gave your very detailed opinion . mariah : look , we all want the same thing , right ? i mean , we want tessa to connect with her fans . ana : i mean , it 's a little more complicated than that . i 'm trying to create a brand that people can identify with , one that 's both marketable and sustainable . mariah : well , kyle is working on the marketing for jabot 's new lifestyle brand , and they 're looking for hot young stars to promote it . it 's much more tessa 's style than anything bold like nicki minaj wears . ana : well , i appreciate your input , but i think we 'll pass . mariah : you could at least take a look at the website . ana : i have a better idea . how about you do your job , and i 'll do mine ? mariah : okay . ana : i 'll se you at the studio later . tessa : okay . what the hell is wrong with you ? tessa : thank you . here . mariah : why are you acting like i 'm the one who did something wrong ? did you hear what ana said to me ? tessa : you are the master at provoking people . mariah : maybe i am a little bit snarky . okay , a lot a bit snarky , but that attack ? that was completely unwarranted . tessa : you just do n't hear yourself sometimes . offering constructive advice can sometimes be annoying . mariah : i was just trying to give her the benefit of my experience . tessa : well , not everyone is interested in that . i am . mariah : [ scoffs ] did n't sound like it . tessa : it 's just -- ana and i are just beginning the whole `` who is tessa porter ? `` thing , okay ? it 's gon na take some time . mariah : all the more reason to get it right . tessa : give us a chance . mariah : ana does n't know you . tessa : she wants to . mariah : no . she does n't , tessa . she wants to turn you into somebody that she wants you to be . tessa : i -- i love that you want to stand up for me , but i can do that myself . mariah : but you 're not . you 're letting ana turn you into somebody else . tessa : somebody with pink hair who wears tight dresses and does stupid hashtags ? mariah : i do n't care about all that stuff . tessa : okay , then what ? mariah , talk to me . please , tell me what 's going on . mariah : no , it 's nothing . tessa : well , if it 's bothering you , then it 's something . mariah : can we just drop it ? please ? tessa : hey , if we ca n't be honest with each other , then -- mariah : i do n't want the thing that i love about you to disappear . devon : i 'm glad you 're taking it out on the door and not me . ana : devon , i did n't know you were in here . devon : mm - hmm . would you like to talk about it ? ana : mariah copeland is the biggest in the a -- - ohh . devon : go ahead . ana : i 'm sorry , i know that 's a friend of yours . devon : that 's okay . yeah , she is a friend . she 's also a really great person , but that does n't mean she ca n't be difficult . ana : she just needs to learn to keep her mouth shut . devon : [ scoffs ] well , good luck with that . would you like me to talk to her for you ? ana : no . i do n't need my big brother running to my rescue . but thank you . devon : mm - hmm . just remember , though , there 's always a reason why someone wears so much armor . ana : how 'd you get so smart ? devon : i 'm not that smart . ana : well , sorry to add to your dumbness ... devon : [ chuckles ] ana : but i got a call from michael baldwin . he 's been trying to reach you . devon : yeah , i 've been meaning to get back to him . ana : he wants to discuss the reading of neil 's will . he asked me to talk to you about scheduling a time to do it . devon : okay . well , now you have . lola : it was you . mia : what ? lola : you were the one who attacked me . mia : where 'd you get a crazy idea like that ? lola : oh , from arturo ! mia : you must have misunderstood , lola . i -- i would never hurt you . lola : that 's what he said . mia : well , it 's true ! i love you like a sister . i would never put your life at risk . lola : you 're right . it does n't make any sense , does it ? unless you thought i was someone else . mia : what ? no ! lola : i was wearing abby 's coat that night , the day -- the day that i was at the abbott house . mia : so ? lola : so you had a fight with her at the club . she humiliated you in front of everyone ! so , what , you went to the abbott house for what , to confront her ? to get some revenge ? mia : no ! no . lola : and you had no idea that i would be there ! oh , but i was , mia . i was there because mariah and tessa convinced me to make up with kyle -- i was wearing abby 's coat . and it was cold , so i wore the hood up . and when you saw me by the pool , you thought i was her , and you came at me . abby : i do n't hear a denial . ana : hey , i get it . it 's too soon to do the whole will thing . devon : well , it 's just the last loose end . it makes it real . ana : i 'm sure michael will understand if you need more time , but ... devon : i ca n't put it off forever , though . ana : yeah . devon : so ... i 'll call lily , talk to her , and i 'll get back to him . ana : every step hurts . but i 'm here . so is nate and jett and elena . there 's so many people that love you . i know that does n't take away the pain . devon : it helps , though . ana : come with me to the studio . sit in on tessa 's session . i could use your input . devon : nah , you 've been doing fine on your own . you do n't want me to get in the way . ana : you would n't be . devon : nah , i 'm okay . thank you , though . ana : see you later , then . devon : okay . get there safe . `` there 's a whole lifetime in these notes . listen , learn , enjoy . love , dad . `` [ knocks on door ] jack : come in ! kyle : hey . got a minute ?

[ voice breaking ] because max pushed for this shower . not because he suddenly accepted abby or that he was excited about the baby . he planned this . he wanted to make her fall . that 's how much he wanted to hurt her . abby : running away is n't the answer , max . max : i thought you 'd be glad to see us go . you never wanted me around anyway . abby : that 's not true . i wanted this to work . i wanted us to be a family . max : when you tripped , it was supposed to be a prank . i did n't mean anyone to get hurt . abby : but i did get hurt . and the baby ... and your father and i , we ca n't ignore that . not anymore . abby : what you did was wrong , max , more wrong than you realize , and you need help . max : you do n't want to help me . you 're trying to get rid of me . that 's why you 're twisting this all around . abby : no . that 's what you 've been doing all along . you found out that i asked the police to find out what happened , and you panicked . you set a fire in the server room to destroy the proof that you had rigged something up on the stairs to make me fall . but , max , the police know . they know you were in that room , and they know what you did . max : they 're coming to get me , dad . you ca n't let them ! please ! abby : max , leaving is not the answer ! you and i , we can get through this ! we can all -- stitch : abby , enough ! i understand you 're trying to help , but this is something i need to handle myself . dr. neville : mcavoy , what happens now with max ? dylan : i need to get in touch with child services . this is a crime . there 's no other way around it . abby : you 'd better hurry with child services . max and ben might disappear . max is trying to convince him to run away , and i think my husband is seriously considering it . billy : the court awarded me visitation . this is a weekend we agreed upon . you ca n't ignore that because i have company when you show up . victoria : oh , is that what we 're calling her ? company ? billy : we 're not gon na do this in front of the kids . victoria : oh , you would n't dare call who you threatened to call on me . billy : you want to test me ? victoria : i am not leaving the kids here until your friend is gone . billy : my friend has a name . i 'm pretty sure you know it . victoria : can we not belabor this to death , billy ? billy : victoria , it 's you that 's making it into a thing . victoria : this is how you 're gon na conduct business now at my company ? billy : brash & sassy 's your former company . victoria : trading shelf space for sleepovers ? it 's disgusting , billy . billy : it 's interesting that you think about it that way . victoria : the woman was wearing your bathrobe . i ca n't believe we 're even having this conversation . billy : there is nothing in our agreement that says i have to be celibate . victoria : you know what ? you 're a real piece of work . if this is how you want to live your life , you might as well just forget about putting up the pretense of being a father ! fiona : excuse me . i can take the kids to the playroom if you guys need to talk . billy : that 's not gon na be necessary . victoria 's leaving . fiona : well , i know how these conversations go . the last woman who stopped by slapped you . victoria : `` last woman `` ? fiona : phyllis abbott . or maybe i should n't have said anything . billy : probably not . phyllis : are you just gon na stare at me like that ? are n't you gon na say anything ? jack : well , if it 's true , i guess i 'm not surprised . well , cozying up to one of the buyers to gain a competitive advantage is right in billy 's wheelhouse . i 'm a little surprised fiona went along with this . are -- are -- are you sure ? phyllis : that woman was at his house strolling through it like she owned it . there 's no mistaking what i saw , or what i could have seen if i got there a few minutes earlier . jack : well , i 'm actually surprised you went to billy 's at all , particularly after the way you were talking before . you said you were done supporting him . phyllis : i could not stand the way that he was flaunting her at the meeting . he was shoving it in your face , grinning at how far he would go -- jack : then it was the breach of business ethics ? phyllis : it 's unprofessional ! jack : and you do n't put up with that . you ? phyllis : it 's one thing to want revenge on victor . but it 's another to go after people you care about . he is turning into a victor clone . and so , yes , i was so upset , i was so disgusted that i slapped him across the face . jack : you did what ? jack : you slapped billy ? why would you do that ? phyllis : i have damaged our relationship defending your brother in the last few months . i went there to plead with him to stop treating you like the enemy and that the only reason you fired him was so that you could give him another chance to resurrect his marriage and be with this kids , which is the most important thing to him . jack : and how did that go over ? phyllis : not well . he was smug . he was cavalier . he was superior . and i just reacted . and i slapped him because of what he 's doing to you and what he 's doing to victoria and johnny and katie . jack : and you . phyllis : yeah . and me . trust me . he needed it . and it did n't hurt him one bit . if anything , i 'm the one who broke a nail . jack : here 's what i do n't get . this is one buyer for one department store . is it really worth all the anxiety ? phyllis : yeah . it was worth it to me . jack : you want to know what i think happened ? i 'll tell you . you just came to realize how far gone billy really is . this is something i 've been wrestling with for a long time now . phyllis : you 've been saying it all along , that he has n't been thinking straight . and i 've just been giving him the benefit of the doubt . jack : hey , we all have . phyllis : i 've been so stupid . i 've been really stupid . i should have listened to you . jack : we all have to remember , billy is an addict . he 's an addict . honey , if -- if he wants to find rock bottom again for the umpteenth time , there 's nothing you or i or anybody else can do to stop him . victoria : you are gon na stay away from my children . and you 're gon na leave this house right now . fiona : lovely seeing you , too , victoria . oh , hey , say hello to your father for me . billy : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry about this . fiona : no big deal . i get to walk away . good luck . talk soon . [ door opens ] victoria : the kids have snacks in johnny 's backpack . he 's on a graham cracker and apples kick lately . billy : really ? we 're not gon na talk about this ? victoria : you know , i really think that we 've talked about everything there is to talk about . there might have been a time when i would be upset to find that woman here , but right now , i feel nothing . billy : nothing ? victoria : no , nothing . the only thing that i feel is grateful to be rid of you . i 'll pick the kids up at the regular time tomorrow . bye , baby . love you . excuse me . [ door opens ] billy : hey , buddy . how 's my boy , huh ? [ door closes ] billy : guess what ? you are going to be so excited when you see this playroom that i built for you and your sister . it 's the best . dr. neville : poor dr. rayburn . i mean , this must be so very difficult to deal with . a primal instinct for the male to protect his offspring in direct conflict with the societal impulse to -- dylan : and i 'm sure stitch is gon na do the right thing . ashley : i ca n't believe the lengths that little boy went to hurt abby . none of us saw this coming . abby : i should have . the signs were there from the beginning . dylan : yeah , but nobody wants to think the worst of a kid that age . that 's why everybody missed it . ashley : i can only imagine what ben 's going through . it must be so awful for him and how heartwrenching this is . i feel terrible for him . abby : i know what you mean . when i was pregnant , i would have these -- these daydreams about my little -- my little girl or my little boy . yes , okay , mostly a little girl . i guess it was easier to visualize mother / daughter spa days and shopping trips rather than me trying to teach my son how to do a layup in high - tops . [ chuckles ] that 's ben 's department . i 'm sure he had all of these hopes and dreams for max , and now they 're all colliding with this horrible reality , one that he could never have imagined . i think about when i was younger and what i put you and dad through . ashley : oh , honey , no . it 's all part of growing up and being a parent . abby : exactly . and i want to be there . i want to help ben . i want to help him through this . and -- and max . i mean , even after what happened , i feel like i could help him . but i 'm afraid ben wo n't let me . stitch : what abby said , she 's right . running away will only make things worse . we need to stay here in genoa city , get you the help you need . max : i was just messing around ! i do n't need help ! i 'm sorry for what happened , but i -- stitch : i believe you , son . i believe you 're sorry that things turned out this way . but i think a part of you is glad , too , that you wanted abby to fall down those stairs and lose our baby . well ... i will say this to you as many times as you need to hear it . i love you , son . and i will always love you , no matter what . but if i 'm gon na get you the help you need , i need you to be honest with me . i want to know the truth . after you lost your mom , you were in a lot of pain . and you did n't like that i was with abby . even though she swore she 'd never try to take your mom 's place , that 's how it felt to you . and the idea that she was having a baby with me , that just made that much worse . max : you were trying to erase mom , like she never existed ! stitch : so you set abby up to fall . because she did n't know how hard it was for you . and what you lost , how much you hurt . max : [ voice breaking ] everything was about abby and the baby . there was no room for me . i wanted to make her go away . and when the baby came , you would love it so much . you would n't love me anymore . and -- and i 'd be alone . i wanted you back . stitch : come here . billy : hey , did i ever tell you the story about the lonely king ? johnny : no . billy : no ? do you want to hear it ? johnny : yeah . billy : yeah ? okay . the lonely king lived in a big castle on a mountaintop . and he had a son . and you know what ? he looked a lot like you . he was about the same age as you . little prince lived down with his mommy down at the bottom of the mountain . until one day , a big dragon was flying through the air , and he was heading right for the top of the mountain . and everybody ran away except for the little prince . he ran to the top of the mountain to help protect his dad . and the little prince was brave and he was strong , and they fought the dragon and they beat the dragon , and the dragon went away . he never came back ever again . and then the little boy said to his dad , `` you know what , dad ? i 'm gon na stay with you , and i 'm gon na make sure that you 're always here , that i 'm always here to protect you . `` johnny : where was the mom ? billy : the mom ? the mom lived down at the bottom of the mountain . but the king was never lonely because his little boy lived with him . to this day , they live in that castle on the mountaintop together . just me and you , buddy . yeah ? yeah ? is that cool ? johnny : yeah . billy : cool . victoria : [ sighs ] hey . uh , is travis off tonight ? travis : i was just leaving . take care of my friend tori here . she 'll have white wine , or maybe tequila , depending on her mood . once you serve her , make sure you leave her alone so she can sit here and solve all the world 's problems . oh , and she 's gon na need a fistful of quarters for e7 on the juke . victoria : uh , very funny . if you 're waiting for a snappy comeback , i 'm fresh out . travis : another fun day catering to the big shots at the office ? victoria : yeah , something like that . travis : do n't let them get you down . victoria : no , i - i try not to . it 's just that sometimes , you know , they just -- they just disappoint me a little bit . travis : so quit with the loyal - soldier routine . do n't just sit around , hoping someday someone will wake up and finally realize what you have to offer . if you ask me -- nah , never mind . victoria : no , please . go ahead . please . i would love to hear your brilliant bartender advice . travis : do n't settle for someone else 's idea of what your life should be . decide what you want . go after it . phyllis : all of a sudden i 'm starved . jack : well , i will get us a couple of menus . phyllis : i 'm so hungry , i hope i do n't eat them before we order . jack : oh , no . phyllis : i just lost my appetite . jack : [ sighs ] fiona : well , we meet again . jack : fiona , i do n't mean to be rude . my wife were just about to have a nice meal together . could we talk business later ? fiona : are n't you just the least bit curious ? jack : about ? fiona : whether your brother and i will be doing business together . jack : frankly , i could n't care less . fiona : jack , you 're not a very good liar . jack : whatever you and billy have cooked up together is none of my concern . in the meantime , jabot has a contract with dillman 's that promises us a certain percentage of shelf space and promotional time . i 'm sure you 're gon na honor that contract . fiona : contracts are made to be broken . phyllis : whoa , whoa , whoa . hang on . jack : if this is the way we 're talking now , i think perhaps you should speak to our lawyers . we 're through here . phyllis : you 're making a scene in public . it 's very disappointing . fiona : i 'm actually surprised you can say that with a straight face , phyllis , given how drama - filled the abbott family seems to be . jack : i do n't know where you get that . fiona : jack , come on . do n't insult my intelligence . you and billy are involved in one very public , very messy dispute , and i seem to have wandered into the middle of it . it 's bad for business , it 's a distraction , bad for the bottom line . phyllis : you should move your bottom line and just do your job . let the two of them duke it out . fiona : i have a better idea . why do n't i drop them both ? jack : wait , wait . hold on a minute . you ca n't make that decision . fiona : i just did . effective immediately , dillman 's stores will no longer be carrying jabot or products from the brash & sassy line . plenty of companies out there who wo n't be half as much trouble to do business with . jack : can you believe that ? phyllis : actually , i can . she 's incredibly self - absorbed . jack : billy 's reckless behavior is affecting us all again ! enough . phyllis : jack , what are you doing ? jack : i 'm gon na handle this . dr. neville : i 'm sorry . i - i did n't know you came out here to make a phone call . actually , i thought you came out here to get away from what 's going on in there . dylan : yeah , a little bit of both . no news ? dr. neville : no . uh , stitch is still in the office with his son . i 'd like to ask you a favor , mcavoy . dylan : you want to ask me a favor about what 's going on in there ? dr. neville : yes , it 's about max . without putting too fine a point on it , i 've become quite fond of the little rapscallion . you know , he 's quite inquisitive . he 's very bright . in fact , someday i could easily see him becoming a doctor or scientist . dylan : you -- you think i do n't want to take it easy on the kid ? you think i want to do this ? i do n't want to do this . i do n't want to see stitch in that pain . it kind of pisses me off that you assume that -- dr. neville : you 've got me all wrong , detective . i want you to help max , because that would - be scientist or doctor wo n't amount to anything unless he gets the very specific treatment for what 's affecting him . he needs somebody to be strong , somebody to do the right thing , even when it causes a father a great deal of pain . dylan : you feel strongly about that ? dr. neville : i do . when max was describing how he 'd planned abby 's fall , something about it ... well , let 's just say i found his ability to disassociate his actions from any consequences troubling , very troubling . i fear that a solution , the remedy , might not be as simple as unlearning bad behavior . no . no , i think what 's affecting him is something far more problematic . dylan : something wrong in his head ? dr. neville : in layman 's terms , precisely . dylan : how much do you know about that ? dr. neville : well ... it 's hardly my field of expertise , but , uh , i knew another child like max a long time ago . dylan : back in ohio . dr. neville : that 's right . and while i may not know everything , i know enough . i know that he needs someone now . he 's in trouble . he needs you , detective . stitch : i 'm not going anywhere , son . i promise . but you do need to talk to someone about all this anger you got bottled up inside . you got all this anger about losing your mom . and you do n't have to feel that way all the time . it 'll get better . i promise . and you wo n't be alone . i 'm gon na be here with you through all of it , okay ? [ door opens ] dylan : hey . child services is here . max : dad 's coming with me . dylan : um , i 'm afraid , uh , you ca n't . max : he promised ! stitch : hey , wait a minute . come on , you -- you can bend the rules , ca n't you ? he 's my son , mac . you have to do this for me . victoria : do you know what i want tonight ? travis : what ? victoria : i just want to forget about all of it , put it behind me , and be free of it . travis : uh - oh . that sounds like you 're ready to pull up stakes and head out of town . victoria : hmm . as nice as it sounds , i ca n't do that . travis : why not ? victoria : i just have too many things keeping me here , you know , too many attachments . travis : yeah . you ca n't leave this behind . all your friends . you got old what 's - her - name over there and this guy . victoria : what are you saying ? are you saying i do n't have any friends in this ... somehow this dingy bar is my entire world , no life ? travis : all i know is what you 've told me , tori . i can tell you 're not happy with your current situation . you need a change . victoria : so , you could do that ? you could just pack up and leave and move to a different town ? travis : we 're not talking about me . that 's bartender 's code . never make it about yourself . victoria : you have your own code ? wow . that 's fancy . well , i suppose it would be easy for you , you know . you could just , uh , find a bar like this in any town . you could start over and pour drinks anywhere , could n't you ? travis : and you can find a job shuffling papers in an office anywhere ? victoria : yeah , right . i 'm just saying it would be easier for you , you know . you just do n't have any loyalty to this place . travis : i do n't ? well , i mean , maybe not like the loyalty you have with those rich jerks you work for , but ... victoria : no , i just ... i think you 're misunderstanding me . travis : i do n't think i am . but you should know something about me . victoria : oh , wait a minute . [ chuckles ] you 're about to break the code . this is very exciting . travis : this place that you think i have no loyalty to ? i do n't just sling drinks here . i 'm the owner . victoria : oh . oh , wow . you -- you own hank 's . travis : mm - hmm . victoria : but your name is travis . travis : yeah . would you be impressed if i told you this place is named after early american philosopher henry david thoreau ? victoria : yes , i would . is that true ? travis : no . victoria : [ chuckles ] travis : some guy named hank owned it 30 years ago . i just bought it last summer . victoria : ah . um , i 'm really sorry that i called it dingy , then . travis : ah , no harm . dingy is sort of what i was going for . victoria : okay , well , good job , then . [ both chuckle ] travis : so i guess neither of us are leaving town . victoria : no . guess we 're stuck here . travis : yeah . stuck here . phyllis : i 'd like some answers . fiona : no . i did n't take billy to bed . we probably would have if we had n't been interrupted . oh , and you can thank me anytime for not telling jack you slapped his brother . phyllis : well , i wish you had . i would have loved to have seen the look on your face when you broke the news that i already told him . so , you 've made this big pronouncement that you no longer are interested in working with jack or billy , so i think you need to do yourself a favor and make a clean exit . and do not overestimate your looks , 'cause they will fade very quickly . fiona : so , you told jack about the slap . very brave . i bet you did n't tell him why . phyllis : excuse me ? fiona : you slapped his very handsome , very charming brother because you 're jealous . [ doorbell ringing ] billy : the kids are here . you want to tone it down a notch ? jack : fine . where are they ? billy : they 're in the playroom . yes , i turned my mom 's office into a kid paradise . jack : they gon na be all right alone up there ? billy : yeah , they 're fine . jack : good . we need to talk . billy : look , jack , i 've already been called a lousy father and an out - and - out liar . i 've kind of had enough love for tonight . jack : this ca n't wait . phyllis told me what happened between you two . billy : what exactly did phyllis tell you , jack ? jack : that she came here to reason with you , that she found fiona here in what was clearly more than a business meeting , that she was sick of your plan to stick it to jabot , and she hauled off and slapped you . billy : yeah , she did . but you know what ? i 've been slapped so many times now , it 's , uh -- kind of forget that they happen . look , if you 're here to get me to calm down and back off just because you say so , you 're wasting your time . jack : you know , i would say you 're better than this , but lately i 'm not so sure . when your strongest ally wants nothing to do with you , that should tell you something . you know what it tells me ? you blew it , billy , with everyone -- your family , your friends , your ex , and now your work . in case you have n't gotten the memo , dillman 's will no longer be carrying any of our products -- yours or mine ! you aced us both out ! billy : i do n't know what you 're talking about right now , jack . jack : i heard it from the horse 's mouth . billy : fiona ? no . see , fiona and i , we have , uh , we have a little understanding . yeah , promises were made . jack : promises were broken . billy : i do n't buy it , jack . jack : fiona is a businesswoman . she does n't give a damn about our family drama . in fact , she does not want to be pulled into the middle of a war . of course , war implies a two - sided thing . this is all you acting out . no wonder she dumped us . billy : well , as victoria 's very wise , very incarcerated father would say , `` it 's just business . `` jack : it is n't just business ! you 're hurting people now , people you claim to care about ! we 're near the breaking point here , billy ! where does this end ? travis : well , if we 're stuck here , we have to find a way to entertain ourselves , right ? victoria : um , okay . where are you taking me ? travis : i 'm gon na show you the best part of this dingy bar . victoria : um , i do n't think that that 's -- i mean ... travis : what ? victoria : i 'm not that kind of a girl . travis : what are you -- victoria : i -- travis : did you think ... ? this is where i was gon na take you . victoria : okay . the dance floor , i guess ? travis : yeah . what passes for it , anyway . okay , no big , fancy moves or you 're gon na bump into the pool table . victoria : all right . okay . travis : e7 ? victoria : uh , no . something different . you know , i - i need a change , so ... stitch : hey , i thought i 'd be able to stay with my son . dylan : i know , stitch . i 'm sorry , but that -- that 's not possible . stitch : i told him i 'd be with him ! dylan : and you will be . child services just needs to interview him alone and evaluate him -- max : no , i do n't want to go ! daddy , i 'm scared ! do n't let them take me away ! abby : i 've never heard him call ben `` daddy `` before today . dr. neville : uh , i , um , i have those data charts to get down to the , uh , the copy center before it closes . ashley : okay , i 'll see you tomorrow . dr. neville : miss abby . miss abby . i , uh ... abby : yeah . thank you . what have i done ? dylan : hey , max , they just want to talk to you . that 's all . max : do n't make me go ! stitch : i 'll , uh , i 'll come see you as soon as they -- max : no ! stitch : as soon as they let me , okay ? dylan : it 's gon na be okay . it 's gon na be okay . max : no ! no , daddy , do n't let me -- no ! dad ! please ! daddy , you promised ! dad ! dylan : max . max : dad ! dad ! stop ! help me ! daddy , you promised ! no ! dad ! dylan : come on . max : daddy , you promised ! dad ! dad ! daddy ! no ! stitch : [ sighs ] phyllis : you think i 'm jealous ? i think that you 're out of your tiny , little , model mind . fiona : you pretend that everything you do is for jabot 's sake and jack 's . but i know the truth , phyllis . phyllis : really ? fiona : when you charged over to his place , you accused billy of parading me in front of you and jack to get a reaction . well , he sure got one . phyllis : you have no idea who you 're dealing with , do you ? fiona : i know exactly who i 'm dealing with . you could n't stand the thought that billy took another woman to bed , because that 's where you want to be . you really want to clock me right now , do n't you ? not something you want to make a habit of . people might start to catch on . ca n't have that . billy : you take care of your own life , jack . jack : that 's what i am doing here , billy . you are part of my life . i 'm not sure how much longer you will be if you keep this up . billy : i 've had it up to here with your self - righteous attitude . what do you expect ? you 're gon na barge into my house , interrupt my time with my kids , to what ? give me a scolding ? guilt me into selling brash & sassy back to victoria ? you want me to obey your every command , jack ? is that what you want ? jack : you do n't care who you hurt or how , do you ? billy : listen to you . you ca n't stop with the guilt , can you ? you 're like a samurai master with your `` cut down billy `` sword . jack : you need to listen to me . billy : jack , i 'm gon na tell you what i 'm not gon na do , okay ? i 'm not gon na play the family screw - up any longer . i know how hard you 've worked to paint me into that role , but i am done . i 'm not gon na apologize for my life . i am not gon na accept the crumbs that you toss my way . i am going to take what is mine , whether that is my company , my children ... or a woman . travis : you know , i live down the street , if you want to come back with me . victoria : no , i should go . dylan : [ sighs ] uh , they 're on their way to the facility . stitch : why could n't you make an exception and let me go with him ? dylan : come on , stitch . you know that 's not up to me . stitch : the hell i do . what kind of friend would do that ? dylan : i 'm sorry . if there 's anything that i can do -- stitch : [ sobs ] you 've done enough . abby : ben ? stitch : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i - i need to be alone . abby : [ sniffles ] ashley : honey . just give him some time , okay ? he 's trying to process a lot . i mean ... i 'm sure he ca n't comprehend what his own child did to you . abby : oh , no , you mean what i did to his son ? ashley : you did n't do anything to him , okay ? you did what you had to do . abby : mom . mom , his son was just ripped out of his arms . that 's an image he 'll never be able to erase from his mind . ashley : i know . abby : [ sobbing ] and it 's all my fault . ashley : it 's not . abby : it 's all my fault , and he 'll never be able to forgive me . [ sniffles ] [ next_on ] fiona : what 's going on between your brother and your wife . nick : stop trying to make everyone think you do n't belong together , because nobody 's buying it . victor : so the position i left open -- ripe for the taking . when are you gon na make your move ? | victoria arrives early to billy 's house to drop off the kids and finds fiona there in billy 's bathrobe . she threatens to leave with the kids but billy says if she does that , he will call the police . victoria says she is glad she 's rid of him and leaves . phyllis tells jack that billy is sleeping with fiona . she admits that she slapped him . jack thinks that phyllis is finally seeing what jack has known all along- that billy is too far gone to help . fiona finds jack and phyllis at gcac and tells them that her stores will no longer be selling jabot or brash and sassy because the abbott family has too much drama and that 's bad for the bottom line . jack heads over to billy 's leaving the women alone . fiona thinks phyllis slapped billy because he took another woman to bed and that 's where phyllis wants to be . billy tells jack that he is n't going to play the screw up of the family anymore . he 's going to run his business , be a father , and take a woman to bed if he wants to . victoria goes to hank 's bar where she and travis , who admits to being the owner of the bar , dance . they kiss and victoria leaves . a man at the bar records the whole thing . abby tells max that running away is n't the answer . he needs to stay in genoa city and get the help he needs . ben tells max that he wants to help him but he needs to know the truth . ben thinks that what started out as a prank may have come from a deeper place in max that was still hurting from his mother 's death . max admitted that he felt like ben was trying to erase max 's mom . dylan calls child services and they come to get max , who leaves with them kicking and screaming . abby and dylan try to comfort ben but he wants to be alone . abby blames herself for the situation and thinks ben will never forgive her . |
[ doorbell rings ] victoria : oh , hey . billy : hey . victoria : come on in . billy : morning . sorry . maybe i should 've called first . victoria : no , it 's fine . what 's up ? what 's going on ? billy : how 's katie , after our phone conversation last night ? victoria : well , your little talk did the trick , because she slept like a log . billy : good . do you mind if i pop up and say hi before they take off to school ? victoria : hannah actually picked them up early because they have a special assembly this morning . billy : oh , right . right . victoria : yeah . billy : well , now that i 'm here , there is something else on my mind . maybe we could has that out now ? phyllis : hey . how 's it going ? nick : well , i do n't know . i guess you 're the one with the news , right ? phyllis : i assume victoria told you about billy and me . nick : it 's quite a shock . especially the way she found out . phyllis : yeah . we were n't too thrilled about it , either . phyllis : are you ... like , blaming us for how upset she is ? ashley : are you kidding me ? jack : it is what it is . ashley : i thought billy and victoria were actually -- jack : yeah , you , me , and everyone else in town . ashley : did you have any idea that it was billy and phyllis ? jack : that they were together ? no . i did n't . at least they had the class this time to come up here and tell me to my face . ashley : oh , yeah , right . first - class all the way . when did you find out about this ? jack : couple of day ago . ashley : a couple days ago . and you 're just telling me now ? jack : we had more important things to talk about . ashley : come on , jack , this is me . after everything that 's -- jack : phyllis and i are done . a long time ago . whatever she and billy want to do , they can do it . i encouraged her to move on , remember ? ashley : i know . but that 's a long way away from finding out that your ex - wife is back in your brother 's bed . how are you really feeling about this , jack ? [ door opens ] jordan : back in the day , i worked with three counterfeiters who specialized in passports . one 's dead , but i reached out to the other two . chelsea : and ? did either one of them sell chloe a fake ? jordan : i promised you i 'd ask , and i did . but you 're not gon na like what i found out . victor : and now to the last item on the agenda . i 've been interested for a while in acquiring a digital - media company . i think we need one to be part of the newman portfolio . scott : i 'm surprised there is n't one already . victor : it 's an oversight . needs to be rectified . both of you , together . abby : wonderful . victor : your expertise in journalism , scott , will allow you to look at some good prospects . and you , my darling , with your financial expertise , will look at the financial health of whatever company we target . abby : since i 'm mentoring scott , i should be the one to make decisions , agreed ? victor : yes , but i want you to make use of his real - life experience . abby : yes , yes . it 'll be very interesting to see what scott brings to the table . scott : likewise . abby : hmm . so , uh , i 'd like a list of 10 different companies newman should be interested in , with supporting research data . i 'll take it from there . i have somewhere to be . is this meeting adjourned ? victor : that does it , my darling . abby : great . cane : okay , uh ... move victoria 's quote to the second paragraph , and the press release will be done . juliet : okay . well , let 's hope there are n't any more changes , like her taking billy 's suggestions back out . cane : yeah , well , that 's vindictive , and she 's too professional for that . juliet : the other night , over drinks , she mentioned she wanted a future with billy . now that she 's lost him to this phyllis woman ... cane : well , she 's not gon na cut us out . juliet : glad to hear it . cane : she keeps giving billy chances , and he keeps letting her down . the other night , i told her i was in her corner , and she said she would rely on me more . juliet : hmm . well , play things right , who knows ? maybe she 'll make you second in command . victoria : there 's really nothing to debate . i mean , i said you can see the kids whenever you want . billy : yeah , as long as it 's just me and not phyllis . no , i get that . i just ... i want to make sure it 's not weird for you , seeing me that much outside the office . i thought maybe an official schedule might -- victoria : uh , `` official `` ? billy : well , i would like to see johnny and katie as much as i 've been seeing them lately . and when they 're here , it would be great if i could come say good night to them on nights that you were okay with . victoria : yeah . i 'd like that , too . billy : yeah ? victoria : yeah . i mean , you know ... we want to do what 's best for the kids . in fact , if you want to stop by every night to say good night to them , it 's fine with me . although i ... [ sighs ] billy : no , please . i want to be as open and honest as possible . victoria : i just doubt that phyllis will love you being unavailable for a chunk of every evening . billy : vic , they 're my kids . she 'll understand . and she did raise a child after her divorce , so i think she gets the drill . victoria : okay , great . so , then we 're on the same page . billy : this went a lot easier than i expected . but we 're in a good place . hopefully , we can keep that . victoria : mm - hmm . why should n't we ? nick : got to ask -- i mean , are you sure this is what you and billy want ? phyllis : nick , it 's not a rebound . nick : okay . i believe you . phyllis : billy and i are the real deal . and we are just very glad that it 's finally out in the open . and we know that some people are gon na have a hard time accepting it , but ... like you said , that 's the way things shook out . we 're really not trying to hurt anyone . nick : well , vic was hurt , you know , the way things went down . she really thought she and billy were building something together . she never meant to push billy away . phyllis : i know , but she did , over and over . nick : well , there are reasons for that -- good ones . phyllis : well , you can only ride that roller coaster for so long before you need to walk away . jack : well , you seem more worked up about this epic love affair than i am . am i thrilled they 're together ? no . am i taking it out on phyllis ? no . i got past that . as for billy , i have said all along , i do n't care what he does . they want to be together , fine . actually , it is n't that big a surprise . it kind of feels like we 've come full circle . ashley : i just do n't understand how you could be so nonchalant about the whole thing . jack : phyllis and i never stood a chance . we had one perfect moment in our marriage -- the wedding . after that , we were doomed by what victor did to us . there was a chasm there we could never overcome . and billy , ever the opportunist , took full advantage of it . so now he thinks they 're gon na live happily ever after . good luck to that . ashley : well , you could act like you do n't care all you want , but i still know , deep down inside , you would 've preferred if billy stayed far away from phyllis . stupid question , jacky . now that everything is out in the open , what are the chances that you and billy can find a way back to each other as brothers ? jack : between slim and none . victoria : great job on these revisions . let 's get this out there right away . cane : all right , consider it done . billy : yeah , i 'd like to echo what victoria said -- excellent job implementing the ideas . really good . juliet : thank you . cane : all right . if that 's everything ... billy : actually , uh , while everybody 's here , there 's an idea i 'd like to pitch , if that 's all right . victoria : yeah , by all means . billy : well , lily 's professional tour that she 's on right now promoting our pro hockey tie - in has been going extremely well . sales are on the rise , and i think it 's time that we capitalize on it . victoria : how ? billy : national tv ads . we promote dare as the official men 's grooming line of pro hockey . we can get a couple of the players to appear with lily . i 've already been in contact with callie weston -- juliet : the movie director ? billy : she 's a huge hockey fan . we shoot in l.a. , she 's on board . and if we move on this now , we can get it done by the time the finals roll around . so , what do you say ? cane : uh , i say it 's a good idea , but it sounds expensive . i mean , can you quantify the return on investment , or is this money just going out the door ? billy : our partnership with hockey has enormous potential to really expand our brand , not only to our demographic but for men 35 and over . callie said she 'll work for scale . she 's that excited about it . so , what do you say ? can i run with this ? victoria : i love it . i love it . let 's get it out there this season . i do n't want to wait till the next winter . billy : fantastic . yeah , i 'll move on it right now , fast - track it . victoria : okay . would you grab lily and jordan ? i want to share the good news with them . it 's a really good idea . chelsea : you have nothing ? how can that be ? jordan : both of my guys are out of the passport game now . with all the new material that the feds are using , they ca n't keep up . they do n't have the skill set anymore . chelsea : i do n't believe this . jordan : creating a forgery nowadays is just damn near impossible . whoever hooked up your friend has to have major underground connections and some serious cash . chelsea : chloe does n't know anybody who would be willing to put themselves on the line like that . at least not that i know of . i mean , god knows she was a master at keeping secrets . [ raps desk ] jordan : sorry i could n't help . chelsea : do n't apologize . you tried . [ sighs ] i guess it 's just ... another dead end . jordan : what happened to the chelsea i used to know ? she would n't let anyone or anything get in her way . nothing would 've stopped her . chelsea : yeah , i guess -- i guess you 're right . you 're absolutely right . i ca n't stop . i ca n't stop it . i 'm not going to . there has to be another way that i can find chloe and whoever 's backing her . victor : scott , i 'm sure you 'll feel more comfortable in your new position once you 've settled in . scott : and by `` position , `` you mean spying on abby . victor : i just want you to monitor her ... activities , all right ? that 's all . any questions ? scott : what kind of intelligence are you looking for ? victor : i want to know who she associates with ... what tasks she takes on herself , what she delegates to others . scott : anything else ? victor : if there are areas in which she is less than transparent , i want to know about it . scott : look , i -- i get that you do n't trust abby , but ... why ? i mean , she 's devoted to you . victor : i 've been in the business for a long time , okay ? ambition does strange things to people , especially when they 're after quick success . abby : how soon until my mom 's out of her meeting ? jack : uh , hard to tell . can i help ? abby : i have news . jack : good or bad ? abby : well ... dad cancelled his biography . jack : wow . that 's interesting . i guess having a competent , principled , investigative reporter like scott grainger around was playing with fire . it 's too bad . abby : only scott 's not going anywhere . jack : what do you mean ? abby : my dad hired him . yeah , apparently , someone with zero experience in the corporate world is a perfect fit for a senior v.p . position at newman . jack : whoa . i 'm not following . abby : no , my dad gave him some bogus title -- special projects -- and now he expects us to work together . jack : and what is victor 's rationale ? abby : i do n't know . he says it 'll give me experience developing new talent . translation -- jack : he thinks you need a babysitter . abby : but do you want to know what this is really about ? this is about my dad 's attitude towards women . yeah . he does n't think that us delicate flowers are capable of running a multinational . yeah , look how he was with victoria when adam came back . and now he 's pushing me aside . nick does n't want the position , so he has a new surrogate son , who , once he 's trained , i will be out in the cold , and he will have a new flavor of the month . jack : okay . i understand that you 're upset . but there is no way victor is going to let anyone without the name `` newman `` in the top spot . scott could be brilliant at what he does . he 's got the wrong last name . victor cares more about that than anything else . abby : what if you 're wrong , uncle jack ? jack : you just be careful . keep your eye on both of them . they 're both bloodhounds -- one by trade , the other by disposition . if they sense anything wrong -- if they sense you 've done anything wrong -- you 're gon na have to play this very carefully . ashley : play what carefully ? abby : fait accompli . dad just sprang it on me . it 's so insulting . ashley : i can understand why you would be angry and maybe why you 'd feel a little insecure . but if there is a glass ceiling , the one way to not break through it is to listen whatever bad , shady advice your uncle 's giving . jack : hey , hey , hey . you are way off base . i gave her the same advice you would -- to watch her back and look out for herself . abby : now that we know that dad does n't trust me as much as he says he does . ashley : is there a reason for that ? is there something going on at newman ? because if you want to talk about it , we can leave here and go someplace private . abby : mom , you know what ? um , dad and i are fine . we 've been fine up until now , okay ? thank you . ashley : okay . if that 's true , then i would tell you to just focus on your work and do the best job you can , and whatever doubts your father may have will just take care of themselves . scott : thanks for your time . victor : all right , scott . oh , by the way , before you go ... a little word about your attire . scott : again ? what 's wrong with this ? victor : what 's wrong with it is that you tell the world that you do n't give a damn . which is okay when you do journalistic work , but when you work in the corporate world , you wear a suit . have you got one ? scott : one . for weddings and funerals . victor : wear it . victoria : so , this is billy 's idea . what do you think ? lily : it 's amazing . i think it 's great for the men 's line . billy : i think it 's gon na be great for you , your first national spot . it 's exciting . jordan : this is gon na take your career to the next level . you are gon na be a shooting star , lily . [ both laugh ] victoria : i need you to arrange your schedule so you can be there for the shoot . i want you to grab some stills . jordan : sure . i definitely can make that happen . victoria : okay . wonderful . juliet : what if we went beyond that ? did a behind - the - scenes , making - of video , something to show exclusively on our website ? billy : it could be a great way to drive traffic . victoria : yeah , let 's do it . cane : i just do n't want to be a broken record here , but i 'm just concerned about the cost of all this . victoria : okay , look -- i 'm not ignoring your concerns . we 'll just tell the director at the ad agency that they ca n't blow through our budget for the year . sometimes you have to take some risks in order to get the payoff . am i right ? billy : yeah , cane , come on . go big or go home , right ? victoria : i think that we should all get behind this . i want us working together as a team , both here and in los angeles . cane : absolutely . i am behind you 100 % . chelsea : oh , you 're so sweet , but i do n't think doughnuts are the answer . nick : all right , well , they 're here if you change your mind . look , uh ... you know , i know you 're upset . those letters that chloe sent billy and kevin ... chelsea : yeah , i mean , i just do n't get it . two letters postmarked in two different countries . so now not only can we not tell where she is , but we ca n't even tell she is actually the person that sent the letters . it just -- it just makes me crazy , 'cause now i ca n't stop thinking about where she is . i 'm thinking about what she 's doing ... nick : look , there are some questions we may never get an answer to . chelsea : well , i ca n't accept that . nick : you 're obsessing , all right ? it 's not good for you . chelsea : look , i know you wish i would just drop this , but i ca n't sit back and do nothing while the woman who killed my husband and her accomplice are just roaming the streets . nick : accomplice ? chelsea : someone had to help her get away . i need to find them -- both of them . i need to track them down , nick . and i want you to help me . lily : i 'm so excited . l.a. is so much fun . what do you think about wrapping a few vacation days around the shoot ? you know , we can go up the coast to santa barbara . we can visit some wineries . cane : sounds like a great getaway , does n't it ? lily : is that a yes ? cane : all right , look , it 's not that i do n't want to go , okay ? it 's just ... lily : no , i get it . it 's billy . you 're upset this got greenlighted after you objected . cane : all right , he humiliated her , okay ? and she still would n't say no to him . lily : victoria is a big girl . their relationship is their business . cane : okay . why do n't you understand this ? lily : hey , you are creating a competition where none exists . victoria has approved plenty of your ideas . she 's judging them purely based on merit . cane : no , that 's not why she 's doing this . she wants him back . and she 's prepared to put the company out on a limb financially to do it . we can barely afford to hire juliet . lily : you know what ? all of this talk about budgets and billy and victoria ... has it even occurred to you this commercial 's a great opportunity for me ? why ca n't you be happy for me the way i was for you when you closed the asian deal ? cane : i 'm sorry . okay . i 'm sorry . i 'm happy for you , i am . come here . i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . jordan : sorry to interrupt . i 'm just on my way out . cane : [ sighs ] lily : look , you know what ? you 're busy . you have a lot of work to do , so i 'm gon na take off , too , okay ? cane : all right . cane : oh , man . victoria : because of the tight timeframe , i 'm pulling you off your other project so you can assist billy full time . billy : that 's a great idea . could definitely use the help . juliet : it 's -- it 's a terrific opportunity . victoria : is there a problem ? juliet : it 's gon na leave cane a little shorthanded in the marketing area . billy : well , it 's a good thing you work for the company and not cane , then . juliet : i do n't want to upset him . victoria : i know that he helped you get this job . and i admire your loyalty , but you do n't have to worry about cane . i 'll handle him . phyllis : hey . scott : hey . phyllis : what dark corner of victor 's mind are you writing about ? scott : he 's actually reassigned me . phyllis : oh . that does n't sound good . scott : well , the book is dead , and in its place , i have an office at newman with a fancy new title to go along with it . phyllis : how bizarre . scott : yeah . tell me about it . phyllis : well , i do n't know . really ca n't see you joining the suit - and - tie brigade . scott : well , as long as i have a debt to repay ... no , please . phyllis : yeah . $ 10 million worth of listening to victor every day , all day ? i feel for you , my friend . scott : i 've had far more tough assignments than that . phyllis : [ chuckles ] you say that now ... scott : hey , but you and billy abbott . the last time we spoke , you had no love life . and then , the other night , i see you two all smiles on your date . what 's sad about it ? is that something new ? phyllis : well , we had a little second go - around . we have quite a history . scott : well , i like to see you happy , so ... i hope it works out this time . phyllis : thank you . hey . not that it 's any of my business , but ... would you mind a little free advice ? scott : yeah , the price is right . phyllis : um , i know that you think that you owe victor because he paid your ransom . scott : he saved my life . yeah . phyllis : but now you are the one he 's holding hostage . scott : that 's blunt . phyllis : he uses people . he manipulates them . do not forget who you are , and do not let him make your life into something you do n't want it to be . chelsea : chloe needed funds and a really good fake passport to be able to get out of the country . there 's no way she got all that on her own . nick : well , a fake passport means a new identity , and that 's gon na make it even harder to find her . chelsea : what is up with this defeatist attitude all of a sudden ? why are you being so negative ? nick : i 'm not . i just think we should let the professionals handle this . they 're better equipped to find her and bring her in . chelsea : when you wanted to prove that chloe killed adam , you were relentless . and now , what is going on with you ? nick : look , i 'm not happy about any of this , but my hands are tied . what do you want me to do ? chelsea : adam was your brother . do n't you want justice for him ? nick : you know i do , chelsea . chelsea : then why are you insisting to not go after chloe ? nick : i just told you , i -- chelsea : yeah , well , it was n't a good enough reason . it feels like you 're hiding something from me , nick . ashley : you hired scott grainger , who has far less experience than abby , to work with her as her equal . victor : she 'll be mentoring him . ashley : that 's not what it sounds like to me . victor : then you do n't know the whole story . ashley : victor , look , you told abby that you trust her , right ? and then , out of nowhere , you 're paying somebody to follow her around , somebody who has been trained to investigate people . do you not see how that could be very demeaning to her ? victor : for your information , scott grainger has certain talents that no one else in the company has , okay ? i think abby is overreacting . ashley : this company is her entire life . she has worked so hard to prove herself . i just hope you 're not doing something to undermine her . victor : if our daughter wants to play on the top level of the corporate world , she needs to take what goes with it -- my guidance , my criticism . she does n't need her mother to protect her . you know that . ashley : this is our daughter . victor : okay . do me a favor . kindly get ahold of scott grainger , okay ? i want him to come back to my office . yep . [ knock on door ] victor : come in . scott : i got your message . you needed to , uh ... ashley : hi , scott . it 's been a long time . i think since your mother 's wedding . scott : ah , yeah . good to see you again . victor : scott . ashley seems to have some reservations about my decision to hire you ... and what ramifications that it might have for our daughter . so would you kindly explain your new position to her and what that will mean so we allay her fears ? nick : look , chelsea , i hate that this situation with chloe is coming between us . i do n't want to upset you . chelsea : but you 're more than willing to just pawn it off to the authorities , let chloe get away with murder . nick : that is not what i 'm doing . chelsea : you are not doing anything . well , i 'm sorry . i ca n't live with myself if i do n't , so ... i think you should leave . nick : chelsea , please ... chelsea : please , nick , go . jack : just the woman i have been looking for . phyllis : is that a good thing or a bad thing ? jack : it 's a work thing . uh , this is a recent report from my old b - school -- an analysis of the economic impact of e - commerce on brick - and - mortar retail chains from 1990 to present . the findings are pretty provocative , i must say . phyllis : mm . sounds titillating . jack : i would like you to apply those findings to fenmore 's stores . make up your own mini analysis . phyllis : okay . jack , i , uh ... am not an economist . i do n't have an mba , and -- jack : if i wanted an economist 's opinion , i would 've asked for one . i 'm asking you . phyllis : why ? jack : because you are in the internet trenches . you know what 's passé , you know what is cutting edge . i am asking , as part owner of fenmore 's , that you gaze into your cyber crystal ball and tell me to what extent technology is going to get in the way of retail . phyllis : that sounds challenging . jack : it is , if you do it right . and i want it done by june 1st . phyllis : that 's in three weeks . jack : yeah , it might require some overtime . in fact , it will require overtime . it 's a lot of research and a lot of writing . phyllis : jack , is this a punishment because of billy and i getting back together again . jack : this is recognition on my part that you are the right person for this particular project . phyllis : i see . jack : i think i made it very clear that your personal life is of no interest to me . i 'm a little insulted you would think otherwise . phyllis : jack ... jack : or maybe you 're feeling a little prickly because , as we speak , victoria is putting the screws to billy downstairs at brash & sassy , just as i predicted . phyllis : actually , she 's not letting what happened affect their work dynamic at all -- or billy 's relationship with the kids . jack : really ? phyllis : yeah . jack : i find that admirable . on the surface . phyllis : meaning ? jack : victoria 's a newman . they do n't like to lose . but if your relationship is as solid as you think it is , that should n't be an issue . victoria : i assume you can delegate as needed until the commercial 's put to bed . cane : as long as juliet 's fine with it , sure . victoria : she 's excited about the opportunity . cane : okay . well , whatever it takes to get the job done . billy : you 're a good man , cane . cane : yeah . billy : he 's being a real mensch about this , is n't he ? victoria : in front of me , would you just refrain from rubbing his face in it ? billy : moi ? okay . i 'll play nice -- as a way to thank you for signing off on my idea . victoria : very expensive idea . billy : well , the best ones usually are . listen , i appreciate the fact that we can still work together like this , the fact that you can keep an open mind , considering the position i put you in . victoria : yeah , well , i told you , i did n't want things to change here . billy : well , that means a lot to me . not everybody would be able to follow through . victoria : i have a meeting with the lawyers across town , the one that i had to reschedule , so ... i 'm gon na do that . you can get to work and call the agency . billy : roger that . victoria : it 's gon na be nice going to california , getting out of town for a bit , do n't you think ? billy : i do . i think everything will go perfectly . victoria : yeah . billy : bye . victoria : bye . hi . i assume you 're here to see billy . phyllis : yes . before i go in , do you have a second ? victoria : not really . phyllis : this wo n't take long . lily : i am so excited about this commercial . i probably did n't any more caffeine . jordan : yeah , i could n't get a read on cane . you sure he 's down with you doing this ? i mean , kind of did n't sound like it , from the little bit i heard of y ' all conversation . lily : yeah , he 'll be supportive when the time comes . just whenever billy 's involved ... jordan : yeah . i kind of got that . lily : whatever . i 'm not gon na let their stuff get in the way of my awesome assignment . jordan : yeah . lily : one thing i 'm nervous about is messing up . i 've never acted before , so i 'm pretty nervous . jordan : this is a commercial , not `` hamlet . `` lily : yeah , easy for you to say . you 're behind the camera . jordan : all right . well , if you get nervous , just look at me , like you do when you 're feeling off on a regular shoot . lily : that 's true . you do have a way of keeping me steady . jordan : yeah , and this wo n't be any different , all right ? i 'm gon na be right there with you the whole way . billy : can you ask her to give me a call as soon as possible ? i 'd like to go over casting . great . thank you . cane : where 's victoria ? billy : she 's not here . looks like you 're on your own . cane : oh , hang on a sec . was that , like , one of those cracks to make me feel , you know , bad that you poached juliet from me ?

jack made no secret of wanting this merger with me . billy : we made it clear that we were against this , so for jack to follow through with it -- victor : means that he does n't give a damn what you think . you got it ? it 's his signature , simple as it is . billy : nothing is ever simple with you . are you really gon na let him get away with this ? i loved you from the start and i 'll love you till the end rich or poor , my heart is yours with a love greater than feeling we 'll persevere and we 'll endure through the wilderness and the valleys that reign my heart is yours gwen : neil . i did n't mean to interrupt . neil : oh , no , no . you did n't . you 're fine . gwen : i like the new look . neil : yeah ?

ashley : because he knew that we were opposed to it . victoria : and you could n't change his mind , so you 're looking for any way to stop this deal from going through . victor : they 're doing worse than that , sweetheart . they 're trying to wrest their brother 's company from him whilst he is lying in a coma . billy : we 're not the ones trying to pull a fast one . victor : what are you even doing here ? he fired you , did n't he ? ashley : he was n't thinking clearly when jack did that . victor : of course he was . and you are supporting his sorry ass because you feel pity for him . ashley : that 's not true at all . i admire my brother for fighting for our family 's company . billy : ashley and i are both fighting for the legacy that our father left all of us . victor : do n't you even mention your father 's name , for heaven 's sake . you could n't shine his shoes . you 're an embarrassment to your family . your brother cut ties with you , as everyone else has who has ever had anything to do with you . billy : what about you , victor ? how many people have walked out of your life ? victor : not too many . present company excepted . i have a wife , i have children , i have grandchildren . i run a multi - billion - dollar company . you , dumbass , are unemployed ! and everyone has dumped you who ever had anything to do with you , right ? ! victoria : calm down . look , no one should be fighting . this is a business discussion . billy : well , it was , until your old man turned it into a personal attack on me , just like he always does . victor : i came here to show you the documents that jack and i signed for the merger between newman enterprises and jabot . all you have done is throw unfounded accusations at me . billy : this ... this is nothing compared to the things that you 've done . ash , look at this . that is not jack 's signature . victor : so , ashley , is this your brother 's signature or not ? billy : you know , i do n't care what she says . it 's a forgery , and i 'm gon na prove it . and when i do , i 'm gon na bring you down once and for all . victor : billy boy , you have the damn handwriting analyzed , all right ?

almost put my fist through his face . ashley : i 'm glad you did n't . billy : the day 's young . ashley : you ca n't let him get to you all the time . billy : you know what ? you 're right . the best thing we can do is find a handwriting expert , which is exactly what i 'm trying to do right now . ashley : i 'm afraid that even if you do find the best , he 's not gon na be able to tell whether or not this is jack 's signature . billy : what are you saying ? ashley : because if it is a forgery , victor made damn sure you ca n't detect it . billy : so , what ? we should just give up ? ashley : i 've got another way to find out if this is real or not . billy : okay . how ? ashley : the other name on this contract , billy . the witness . nikki : um , excuse me . could i -- could i have another ? actually , um , this time , could i have vodka , please ? gwen : well , if you need somebody to talk to about what 's going on here at work or with jack ... neil : okay , that 's very nice of you . i appreciate that , but i 'm good , really . gwen , since you came all the way over here , why do n't i go over the sales figures with you and , you know , i can fill victor in on them ? what do you say ? gwen : sure . neil : okay , great . um , i was about to go to lunch . gwen : do you like indian ? neil : first name spicy , last name curry . gwen : [ laughs ] i know this great indian place . i think i have the number in my phone . neil : okay . cool .

[ glass shatters ] chelsea : you are deluding yourself if you think what we shared was anything more than sex . adam : it was more than that . chelsea : not to me . adam : well , i do n't believe you . chelsea : you can believe whatever you want . the truth of the matter is , i came to you that night because i wanted revenge on billy for running back to victoria the second she broke up with stitch . adam : well , if you wanted to get back at billy , you could have done a number of things i can think of , off the top of my head . you did n't . you came to me , though . chelsea : because it was easy . i walked off the elevator and your door was right there . turning to you was a matter of proximity . adam : okay , you really expect me to believe that , though ? [ chuckles ] chelsea : yes , i do . adam : okay . you came to me because you wanted me , chelsea . just admit it . not some random neighbor , not some other guy . me . chelsea : no . adam : no ? chelsea : no . adam : yes ! chelsea : you do n't mean anything to me ! what is it gon na take for you to get that through your head ? adam : you have to show me . chelsea : what ? stop . stop . adam : that what you really want ? you want me to stop ? chelsea : yes . adam : you want me to stop ? you 're gon na stand there and you 're gon na tell me that i do n't mean anything to you ?

billy : it 's hard to do when people are lying to your face , people you thought you could trust . neil : i do n't understand why we 're talking about this . you 're gon na have to learn now to accept the truth here . jack signed those merger papers with victor newman . billy : why should i believe you ? neil : because you do n't have a choice . billy : maybe i do . hilary , you work for jack . hilary : yeah . billy : ash , can i see those papers , please ? ashley : yeah . yeah , they 're right here . neil : well , it 's a real surprise to see you two here together . billy : you ever seen this ? did jack sign this ? hilary : uh ... i ... ashley : just tell the truth . please just tell the truth . you were a trusted employee , i mean , and jack took a chance with you . you know what happens in his office better than anybody does . hilary : i 've seen every single legal document that jack signed since i 've worked for him , but -- ashley : okay , did you ever see him sign this ? hilary : no . billy : are you sure ? hilary : positive . ashley : then who signed it ? neil : you want to know who signed those papers ? jack abbott did . your brother did . billy : hilary just said she 's never seen this contract . neil : really ? is that what she said ? how can we believe anything that she says ? ashley : why the hell would she lie , neil ? i mean , really ? neil : have n't you heard ? this woman is in the business of hurting people . she and devon are . that 's right . you know how much you hurt me . hilary : i 'm telling the truth . neil : let 's assume you are telling the truth . since jack got back from his honeymoon , how many times has he stopped by the office ? hilary : okay , yeah , he 's taken a little time off lately . neil : yes , he has . then it 's possible that nikki and i both witnessed jack sign those papers . and maybe , just maybe , he did n't take them to his office , right ? hilary : yeah , it 's possible . neil : yeah , it is possible . ashley : i do n't care how cavalier jack 's been about work lately . he would never lose track of a document as important as this . neil : all right , ashley , maybe you do n't know your brother as well as you think you know your brother . ashley : you know what , neil ? maybe i know him a hell of a lot better than you do ! billy : look , if jack were so gung - ho about this merger , as you and victor claim that he is , then he would have been waving this signed contract in front of our faces , but he has n't been . in fact , it 's nowhere to be found . it 's not at the office . it 's not in his house . neil : i do n't have to explain anything to you ! billy : that 's because you ca n't ! nikki : will you please stop all this fighting ? ! this is what jack wanted . and when he wakes up , he will be happy to tell you that . ashley : what if he does n't wake up , nikki ? are you gon na be happy to continue to perpetuate this lie ? neil : mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh , mnh . you do n't have to answer that . billy : when a handwriting expert proves that that is not jack 's signature , you 're gon na have a lot of questions to answer . we have an appointment with our lawyer . we 'll see you in court . it 's not gon na wo victor . victor : what are you blathering about , billy ? billy : forcing nikki to lie for you . she 's too good and decent to follow through with it . ashley : i know you do n't give a damn about my brother , but do you care at all what you 're doing to your wife ? neil : you okay ? nikki : yeah . thank you . thank you for responding to my text and for standing up for me . neil : absolutely . do n't you let this bother you , okay ? it 's all gon na work out . hi , victor . victor : neil . neil : talk to you in a minute . victor : everything all right ? nikki : jack did n't sign that contract , did he ? devon : why the hell are you fighting with billy in public ? what 's going on with you ? neil : maybe i should ask you . what 's up with you two ? this is the second time that i 've seen you both out together . hilary : neil , i 'm sorry if what i said about not seeing jack sign those documents caused you any trouble . neil : all of a sudden , you 're -- you 're concerned about causing me trouble ? devon : let 's not do this again . neil : why should n't we ? are you gon na answer my question or not ? devon : yes , i am gon na answer your question . neil : are you gon na answer my question honestly ? devon : absolutely . hilary and i are back together . chelsea : oh , my god . are you really that full of yourself ? you think no woman can resist you ? adam : i do n't think that you can . chelsea : just stop . i do n't want to hear this anymore . i want you to go . adam : okay , hey , come here . just -- i 'll leave , all right ? i 'll leave . just let me say something first , okay ? chelsea : what ? adam : you 're right . that 's what i wanted to say . i want to say you 're right . i 'm a self - centered jerk with an ego the size of wisconsin , all right ? that 's the truth . [ sighs ] chelsea , i got to tell you , my ego is telling me right now that you just do n't want to admit that you have feelings for me , because you do n't want to hurt billy . chelsea : you mean more than i already have ? adam : more than you already have , yes . we could wait the socially acceptable amount of time . i do n't want to do that . i ... look , my closest friend in the world , my dearest friend , he 's in a hospital right now . he 's in a bed . he 's in a coma . and he was finally happy . and now he 's laying there , and it could all slip away . these -- these things that people say , seizing the day , living in the moment , they sound cliché , right , and i always thought they were , and then tragedy like that smacks you in the chest , r - right ? i tell you what , you spend too much time trying to -- trying to do the right thing , you 've lost sight of what makes you happy . it 's not right . what we had , what we shared , chelsea , was much more than revenge sex . there was a connection . and even before that day , we had a connection . right now , when you 're looking at me , there 's a connection , right ? there it is . you look at me . you tell me . you tell me you do n't feel anything for me and i 'll walk over there and i will leave you alone . you 'll never see me again . i swear . but i need you to say it . devon : we understand if you 're not ready to forgive us for what we did to you . but we both want you to know that everything hilary said about pretending she was in love with us to hurt our family was a lie . she thought if you believed that i had been duped , you 'd forgive me for betraying you . she sacrificed her own happiness so you and i could be happy . neil : really ? how long did she sacrifice for ? what are we talking about ? maybe a day ? maybe a week ? devon : we just got back together , dad . neil : of course you did . hilary : devon , maybe we should just go . devon : no , we do n't need to go . he still needs to know something . neil : what do i need to know ? if it has anything to do with you , i do n't need to know it . devon : hilary 's the reason you did n't go to prison when you were on trial for christine 's accident . neil : ha . that 's -- that 's -- that 's noble of you . now you think i owe you , right ? devon : we do n't think you owe us anything . all that we want is for you to accept that we 're in love and we 're gon na be together . neil : you want to be together and you want me to approve that . is that what you 're telling me ? devon : we 're just trying to be honest with you . neil : honest ? i do n't think you can be honest . i do n't believe a single word coming out of either one of your mouths . you 're liars . both of you . you actually carried on an affair in front of me . i was the blind guy . you carried on in front of me , and now you 're coming to me , asking for forgiveness . devon : dad , i really thought that you and i had been making progress since the plane crash . neil : no , it does n't come that easy . devon : i did n't think it was gon na come easy , but we still want to make up for what we did . that 's why she saved you from going to jail . neil : i 'll bet i know exactly how you did that , hilary . you better run for your life , son . she 's gon na decimate you exactly how she decimated me and countless others . hilary : okay , no , that is not true , all right ? i love devon . neil : you love him ? like you loved me ? i know you want my acceptance . i know that you want my blessings . but i 'm gon na tell you what i 'm gon na give you right now . i 'm gon na wish for you both a lot of pain and a lot of unhappiness . let 's put it like this . karma 's a bitch . ashley : billy , why do n't you let me take you to the hospital ? you might need a stitch or two . billy : no , what i need to do is put my fist through something . ashley : you keep saying that . it 's not gon na make you feel any better . let me look at this . billy : it 's fine . victoria : hey , billy . what happened ? billy : i was pursuing truth and justice and got blindsided by corruption . victoria : who did you get into a fight with this time ? gabe again ? oh , please do n't tell me it was my dad . billy : no , one of his henchmen -- neil . victoria : winters ? billy : yeah , darth victor pulled him over to the dark side . victoria : well , if neil did this to you , he must have had a really good reason for doing it . billy : well , i 'm sure he had a really good reason for backing up all of victor 's lies and dragging nikki into this mess . i 'm really surprised you 're letting that happen . you have to know what this is doing to your mom . victoria : you have no proof that what dad 's saying is n't true . ashley : well , we spoke to jack 's assistant . she never saw a contract . she never even heard of one . victoria : that does n't mean anything . ashley : you know what ? i used to do that , too , all the time . try to convince myself that victor had done nothing wrong . deep down inside , you know the truth , victoria , just like i did . you know what the big problem is ? you have to live with that every day . victoria : oh , boy . billy : so , can you ? victoria : what ? billy : live with yourself knowing what victor is doing to jack and to my family ? victoria : i 'm gon na get a first - aid kit and look at your lip . billy : [ sighs ] nikki : so , you gon na answer my question ? victor : what did you tell ashley and billy ? nikki : well , fortunately , i did n't have to say anything , because neil came up and said that both of us saw jack sign the contract . victor : good . nikki : no , it is n't good . it 's a lie . i did n't see jack sign anything . i just took your word . victor : why would n't you ? nikki : billy and ashley are n't gon na let this go , you know . victor : i do n't give a damn about billy and ashley . i can handle them . it is you that i want on my side . nikki : you want me on your side ? victor : it 's imperative . nikki : then tell me the truth . did jack sign that contract ? victor : why are we bringing that up now ? nikki : i swear to god , victor , if you do n't tell me right now , i will walk over to that bar and drink every drop of alcohol they have . victor : are you serious ? nikki : i am dead serious . i 've been drifting in and out of this painfully mistaking love for bliss chelsea : [ sighs ] adam ... staring through the deep one eye open , asleep what did you do ? you pulled me into hilary : you know , it 's not too late to change your mind . devon : about us ? hilary : you could call the whole thing off right here , right now . i would n't blame you . devon : hilary , i never want us to end . i know that telling neil the truth was difficult , but it was the right thing to do . hilary : no ... regrets ? devon : yeah . that we were n't honest with him from the beginning . hilary : we were just trying to protect him , devon . devon : i know . and that ended up causing us even more pain . gwen : neil . neil : hey . gwen : i forgot my tablet . i thought you were helping a friend . neil : mission accomplished . gwen : looks like things got a little rough . neil : yeah . gwen : that offer to talk still stands . neil : hey , gwen , you should probably know about this anyway . gwen : about what ? neil : about devon and hilary . um , they 're back together . gwen : that must have been hard for you . neil : you know , they expected me to , i guess , just accept it and move on . they have . why would n't i ? gwen : because you 're human . and you should be allowed to kick and scream . did it feel good when you punched devon ? neil : it probably would have . no , but this , uh , this was from hitting somebody else . gwen : neil . neil : the guy deserved it . i mean , even if he was n't the one i was mad at , he -- he did . he really deserved it . gwen : i 'm sorry . you do n't deserve to be hurt . victor : you would sacrifice your sobriety just to spite me ? nikki : you would let me ? victor : i will not let you emotionally blackmail me . if you do n't want to , for my sake , say that you saw jack abbott sign that contract , then do it for your sake . do it for the family 's sake . nikki : oh , my god , there it is . the family card . when all else fails , you always pull that out . victor : this is not a game , sweetheart . nikki : all i want is the truth . is that too much to ask ? victor : all right . jack abbott signed that damn contract . billy : ow . victoria : [ chuckles ] sorry . billy : no , it 's not your fault . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm worried about you , billy . billy : it 's just a little cut . victoria : no , i mean i 'm worried about you . you know , you 've had a lot thrown at you in the past few weeks -- and chelsea cheated on you and jack firing you and now his accident . billy : do n't forget your father trying to steal my family 's company . victoria : i do n't think you would have gotten in a fight with neil if you have n't had so much thrown at you lately . i know how worried you are about jack , too . billy : yeah , i am .

jack : i am the first to admit that pass key put jabot back in the black , but if this product does n't come through like we promised , i hate to think about how much money we 're gon na lose , never mind the cost of litigation . phyllis : we have to keep this contained . jack : well , that begins and ends with your computer prodigy . phyllis : okay , i will get with natalie . i will try to see if she ca n't come up with a fix so that we can -- jack : tell her to get on it right away . we do n't have any time to waste , and i 'm tied up here . phyllis : okay . what are you gon na do ? jack : fiona . i 'm trying to undo the damage that billy did . phyllis : good luck with that . victoria : my jealous fit . i was concerned about our kids . billy : oh . victoria : why are you even here ? billy : i thought you 'd want an update on those kids you 're so concerned about . victoria : yeah . did they enjoy their sleepover ? billy : yes . we did . we shot some hoops . we built a fort . i even got johnny to eat his vegetables . victoria : you did not . billy : i did so . dropped him off at school on time , and dropped katie down at daycare downstairs . victoria : you want a gold star or a pat on the head ? billy : no . common decency and respect would be nice . victoria : you get what you give . billy : mm . victoria : is that it ? billy : no . there 's one other thing , which i 'm sure you 're gon na hear about anyways . victoria : oh , god , billy . what did you do this time ? billy : oh , no , victoria . this is on you . because of your uncalled - for scene you threw yesterday , fiona decided not to do business with brash & sassy ! victoria : oh . billy : `` oh `` ? really ? victoria : [ laughs ] billy : if my business tanks , you 're not gon na -- hey ! a little sympathy would be nice . victoria : is that what you want ? okay , i 'm absolutely crushed that you 're having trouble with the company that you stole from me . billy : [ chuckles ] victoria : here 's a solution . why do n't you sell it back ? billy : yeah . i do n't think so . you really think i 'd admit defeat that easy ? victoria : if you were smart , you would . billy : i 'm not gon na give up . no . not without a fight . victor : so , what is this nefarious plan i 'm cooking up ? adam : well , i was able to put everything together at sage 's memorial . victor : oh , yeah . sorry i could n't be there . hmm . how did that go ? adam : oh , you were there . victor : what do you mean , i was there ? adam : you sent your emissary , this lovely doctor , this woman that you have so thoroughly fooled . victor : oh . well , i just simply asked her to do me a favor , you know ? adam : mm . victor : yeah , i wanted to convey my condolences , that 's all . adam : you know what ? i bet she did n't do anything at that memorial that was n't personally choreographed by you . victor : [ chuckles ] you 're overestimating the power i have in here . adam : mm . i seriously doubt you have any less power in here than you did at the top of newman tower . i 'm surprised you have n't convinced someone to commission an artist to come in here and paint your portrait so you can hang it on your cell wall . victor : yeah , that 's a hell of an idea . adam : okay . so , after your doctor 's surprise visit at the memorial , i did a little digging . victor : oh , did you ? adam : yeah . victor : huh . adam : now , i remember meeting her and her father at a benefit . what i did n't remember is that her father is head of the judicial review board . now , this board is responsible for pardons , reduced sentences . victor : i 'll be damned . really ? adam : uh - huh . so , dr. gates is one degree away from your `` get out of jail free `` card . victor : my goodness . almost as if it was fated . adam : huh . fiona : so , where 's billy ? jack : as you well know , fiona , billy no longer works at jabot . fiona : and yet , i still expect to see him pop out of the woodwork and challenge you to a duel with pistols with the winner getting my business . jack : clearly , you know a thing or two about working with the abbott family . let 's talk . fiona : you know , at first , i thought that this brotherly rivalry would be good for business . now i just see that dynamic is a bit too combustible . jack : okay . i want to apologize if my brother dragged you into our family feud . fiona : so , you asked me here to change my mind about refusing to do business with you . jack : fiona , we 've worked together for a long time . surely you 're not ready to cut jabot loose . fiona : i am ready . jack : okay , i 'm -- fiona : it 's done . jack : i 'm asking you to reconsider . and i can make it well worth your while . fiona : i 'm listening . victoria : i 'm sorry . i 'm not gon na take the blame for you losing valuable shelf space for brash & sassy ! it 's not my fault . billy : well , if you would n't have barged into my house last night , it would have -- victoria : you know , i 'm not the one that made the mistake of mixing business and pleasure with what 's her name . billy : what 's her name ? really ? you just ca n't stand the fact that i 'm running your former company , so you deliberately sabotage things by antagonizing fiona . victoria : deliberate sabotage ? that 's your game . that 's why you bought brash & sassy ! -- so you could make a jab at me , and that 's probably why you 're trying to tank it now , so that you can twist the knife in even deeper . is n't that right ? billy : did you ever believe in me ? or did you secretly believe that i was the screw - up that your father and my brother accuse me of being ? victoria : i believed in you even when no one else would . billy : vick , this -- victoria : clearly that was a mistake . billy : what was a mistake ? what , falling in love ? having children ? victoria : trusting you was the biggest mistake i ever made . nick : oh , enough already . i 'm serious . you should be grateful you 're alive . stop trying to make everyone think you do n't belong together because nobody 's buying it . you do n't even believe it , so drop the act . stop wasting your time on things that just do n't matter . sharon : i just thought that nick would enjoy spending some more time with sully , you know ? he 's such a sweet and funny little boy . mariah : okay . but take it from somebody who does n't respond well to being pushed -- do n't do it . sharon : well , i ca n't just let this go . mariah : why not ? nick is a grown man . he 's gon na grieve the way that he 's gon na grieve . sharon : unfortunately , i 've seen nick like this before . mariah : after cassie died . sharon : i 've seen grief drive nick to some dark places and turn into a completely different person . so i do n't want him to shut us out when he needs us now more than ever . i worry about him . is that so hard to understand ? mariah : no , i guess not . it 's just the whole sully thing that felt off . sharon : well , anyway , you came in here all charged up . what 's wrong ? mariah : oh , nothing . nothing . it 's not nearly as intense as what nick 's going through . sharon : kevin ? mariah : kevin who ? kevin : i am so jealous that you get to explore africa . natalie : i could buy you a ticket . you can come along . kevin : great . when are we leaving ? [ both laugh ] phyllis : natalie , why are n't you answering your phone ? natalie : well , i saw it was you calling , and since our business is done -- phyllis : well , it 's just become undone . we need you to get on a computer and start cranking out code right now . kevin : what 's going on ? phyllis : there is a flaw in the program , and it is vulnerable to hackers . kevin : impossible . natalie : impossible . phyllis : my husband 's identity has been stolen . natalie : well , maybe he has a doppelganger . phyllis : that 's not funny . natalie : it 's kind of funny . phyllis : we need you to fix this , natalie . i 'm very serious . kevin : all right , we 'll get started working on it . natalie : no ! i 'm sorry , but it 's not happening . i 'm officially out of the computer business . victor : once again , son , your paranoia is getting the better of you . adam : i see . i see . so you expect me to believe that it 's just a mere coincidence that you chose dr. gates to be your representation at sage 's funeral , the one person -- the one person with the best connection to get you freed ? victor : i simply asked her to do me a favor . adam : uh - huh . a favor . victor : yes . adam : perfectly orchestrated by you to make you look sympathetic , right ? and once again , you know , of course , we played right into your hands , refusing your magnanimous gesture . victor : i 'm sorry to hear that you and your sister were less than gracious to her . adam : mm . and i 'm sure meredith could n't wait to come running back to you , right ? tell you just how right you were , how vindictive your children were . let me tell you something . i 'm gon na have a little conversation with the family . i 'm gon na make sure that we play our cards a little smarter next time , okay ? victor : you 're seeing this all wrong . adam : i 'm seeing this all wrong . dad , why ca n't you just admit that you 're staging a jailbreak ? victor : if you think that 's what i 'm doing , then why not keep that theory to yourself ? do n't your siblings about it . use it to your advantage . jack : if you take our product off your shelves , our very loyal consumer base is just gon na shop somewhere else . fiona : a risk i 'm willing to take . jack : okay . can i be a little more personal ? i thought that you and i shared a certain level of loyalty , as well . we 've got a lot of history together . we 've done some pretty amazing business . fiona : we 've made each other a lot of money over the years , jack . but this is about more than cash . jack : what ? fiona , if you do n't tell me what 's wrong , i ca n't fix it . fiona : i did n't want to say anything , but i witnessed something yesterday that puts things in an entirely different light . i do n't want to see jabot implode , particularly not while your product is on my shelves . jack : wait , wait , wait . jabot is not about to implode . but what would make you say that ? fiona : well , let me just ask you a question . what 's going on between your brother and your wife ? phyllis : so , you 're retiring . are you moving to florida ? are you gon na play some shuffleboard ? catch the early - bird special at the supper club ? natalie : i can tell you 're not speaking literally , but i have no idea what you 're saying . what is a shuffleboard ? phyllis : it does n't matter . what matters is that you get back to work and you fix your mistake , because if you do n't , you could lose everything . kevin : are you threatening her ? phyllis : well , i am warning her . and , kevin , you 've known me a long time , and i do n't always give a lot of warning . sometimes , i just plot ahead and do what i need to do . kevin : so , this is a courtesy call . phyllis : yeah , exactly . i 'm stating the facts . as a profit participant in a security software , i can make natalie 's pay stubs abruptly stop . the money can dry up , and you can say goodbye the toys and the clothes that you 've grown accustomed to . natalie : i have plenty of money to fall back on . phyllis : oh , really ? natalie : yeah , i have n't spent it all ... yet . besides , it does n't matter . i 'm not going back to work . i finally have a life and all the money i could ever need . pass key worked well enough to set me up indefinitely . it 's done , and i 'm done living my life chained to a keyboard . phyllis : do you know we can make this fight incredibly ugly ? we can take legal action , and we can sue you for every dime you made off of this project , and every dime you will ever make . is that what you want to have happen ? natalie : obviously not . but you 'll have to look somewhere else for help . time is luck , and i 'm not gon na waste it living someone else 's life . phyllis : what is that ? is that geek speak ? kevin : no , it 's from `` spider - man . `` [ both chuckle ] mariah : he 's turned into natalie 's lapdog , and she has become this vapid waste case . all they can do is compare their ways to spend money . sharon : jealousy is a natural human emotion . mariah : i 'm not jealous . i 'm not ! i - i 'm not . i 'm hurt . is that a human emotion ? sharon : okay . here comes the motherly advice . if you are this hurt by kevin , then you have to tell him how you feel . mariah : how ? i do n't know how i feel . sharon : of course you do . faith : mariah ! mariah : hey , squirt . what you doing with your bad self ? faith : i 'm still feeling sad about sage . it 's supposed to be a good thing that she and christian are together in heaven , but when i think about it , i just get sadder . mariah : come here . adam : plotting your escape in here while pitting your children against one another yet again -- have you learned nothing in here ? victor : what have you learned , hmm ? you keep on telling everyone that you have turned your back on newman . adam : i have . victor : really ? adam : mm - hmm . victor : then why do you keep on running back here ? adam : listen , i can come here and i can speak for nicholas and victoria without gunning for a corner office , i 'll tell you that much . victor : by the way , you never mentioned anything about a new position for you . adam : well , why the hell would i ? you seem to know everything anyway . victor : yeah . so , it 's a job that wifey - poo created for you ? huh ? adam : yeah , it 's good . i like it . victor : wow . running a fashion line . i 'll be damned . adam : it 's fancy . yeah . victor : oh , yeah . harvard business school graduate . i 'll be damned . running a fashion line . is n't that a little step down ? adam : here we go . victor : huh ? i mean , unless i see it all wrong . maybe the new job is so fantastic , so interesting , that it killed your desire to run the big kahuna , huh ? adam : do me a favor , all right ? do n't disparage my wife 's business . she makes a hefty contribution to newman 's bottom line . you know that . victor : oh , yeah . it also gives you a chance from that corner office , you keep an eye on newman , do n't you , huh ? adam : do n't flatter yourself . it has nothing to do with that . victor : will you stop bs'ing me ? i know you 're keeping your options open because your brother , nicholas , is grieving the loss of his wife , and your sister , victoria , is flailing . so , the position i left open -- ripe for the taking . right ? when are you gon na make your move ? victoria : i know you mean well , but our marriage is completely over . billy : the only thing we share now is children . nick : nothing more ? billy : nothing more . nick : well , i just do n't have the energy to fight with you right now over this , so ... all i can say is i hope you can find a way to get past this anger and find your way back to each other before it 's too late . billy : yeah , that 's not gon na happen . nick : okay , well , then , if there is n't any real business to discuss , then -- billy : do n't worry . i 'm leaving . and once again , my condolences . nick : [ sighs ] i have a call in to morgan . we 're gon na finalize that deal this morning . victoria : nick , listen . it 's too soon for you to be back in the office . you should take some more time off . nick : i 'm fine . victoria : you just buried your wife . nick : just back off , all right ? you and everyone else needs to stop telling me how to deal with this . i need to be here doing something because if i 'm not here , then all i think about is crawling into that grave next to sage . faith : i tried to cheer daddy up , but it did n't work . he only pretended to smile . sharon : i 'm sure your daddy ... mariah : we were just talking about this , actually . and i 'm gon na tell you something . it 's absolutely normal for your dad to be upset right now . faith : it is ? mariah : yeah . he 'd be crazy not to be . sage was -- sage was an amazing person , and she 's gone . of course he 's gon na miss her . and you know what makes me sad is that i do n't have an original faith newman artwork to put up on our refrigerator lately . i mean , what is a fridge for if not to put your artwork up there ? faith : [ giggles ] mariah : certainly not for keeping food . faith : i 'll go draw you a picture right now . mariah : thank you . that 's what i 'm asking for . what 's going on ? sharon : nothing . mariah : no , no . not nothing . you 've been acting strange since i got here . sharon : losing sage was just such a shock , and i do n't think this family could take any more loss . mariah : you do n't want to lose anyone else . [ sully crying ] adam : well , it 's an interesting suggestion , dad , but i wo n't be stabbing my brother or sister in the back . not this time . and , quite frankly , i find that a little offensive that you would bring something like that up after a recent death in the family . victor : are you serious ? accusing me of not caring what happened to my son 's wife ? i would be there , but you all prevented me from doing that . adam : mm - hmm . and you wo n't stop making your family pay for putting you in here . victor : you betrayed me . adam : you did something despicable . victor : listen to me . you want to talk about despicable ? shall i give you the litany of things you did to this family that were despicable ? listen . stop trying to outsmart me . you never will . do you understand ? you never will ! you go home and you embrace your family . and your son . and the company that bears your name . adam : and it always comes back to that damn company . victor : you 're damn right it does ! it 's our lifeblood , son . it 's in your veins and in my veins . that 'll never stop ! adam : you know , that 's all you care about . i do n't give a damn . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm done . victor : listen to me . you may try very hard to convince yourself and others that you do n't care about the position at newman enterprises that i left open , but you do . give in to that . take over the chair that i left behind . you fit in it . you look good in it . now get the hell out , and do n't try to outsmart me ever again . guard ! adam : it was a good talk . meredith : [ sighs ] so , i assume that visit with your son did n't go very well . victor : yeah , well , at least he came by to visit . meredith : so all that yelling -- that 's a good thing ? victor : um , you know , he probably came by because of you . meredith : oh , i doubt that . victor : i do n't . i think your visit to my family made him come here . now i think i 'll return the favor . jack : my wife and my brother ? what is it you think you saw ? fiona : a slap . phyllis slapped billy -- jack : [ laughs ] fiona : that 's not the reaction i was anticipating . jack : i 'm sorry . i was n't laughing at what you said . i was laughing at the picture of my brother getting slapped . [ laughs ] fiona : so , you 're not surprised ? jack : if i got upset every time i heard a story about my wife slapping a man in the face , now , i would n't have much else to do . look , phyllis told me all about this episode . she said billy deserved it . fiona : yeah , okay . i was n't inclined to make much of it at first , either . but that on top of a fierce visit from billy 's ex -- jack : oh , so much for burying our family skeletons . i 'm sorry that was awkward . and , yes , i have to admit that , at times , my brother is a bit of a magnet for trouble . but that does not mean trouble at jabot . fiona : so , he 's been completely removed from the company ? jack : irrevocably . i can guarantee you . if you do business at jabot , you will not have to deal with billy . fiona : in that case ... i will continue working with you , jack . jack : thank you very much , fiona . you will not be disappointed . fiona : i will leave you with a word of caution , though . take it from a woman . that slap should not be written off so lightly . billy : well , you 're the last person i expected to hear from today . phyllis : hello . billy : okay . i 'm here . you said it was urgent . are you expecting me to turn the other cheek so you can give that one a crack , too , or you got something else in mind ? victoria : i do n't want to throw you out , okay ? i 'm just really worried about you . i 'm not sure if you 're handling your grief in the best way . nick : there is no best way , all right ? even if i was n't here , i 'd be home . it 'd still be painful . i 'd be angry . victoria : then you get to be angry here at me and anyone within earshot . nick : i 'm not gon na take it out on anyone else , all right ? victoria : so , you 're just gon na throw yourself back into work and avoid facing these feelings that you 're eventually gon na have to face anyway ? is that healthy ? nick : you tell me . victoria : i do n't know what you 're talking about . nick : is it healthy for you to just throw yourself into your work and not face reality ? victoria : reality ? nick : yeah , you think you can come in here and just crunch numbers , try and find a way to increase the market share for the energy division . then you wo n't have to face what 's really going on with mom , dad , billy . adam : bad time ? victoria : for you ? always . adam : you know , just when you start to get used to the view from up here , dear old dad 's at it again . meredith : you 're gon na do me a favor ? victor : how are things between you and your father ? meredith : what 's your interest ? victor : well , as a ... card - carrying difficult father , maybe i have some advice for you . meredith : oh , i do n't think that 's necessary . victor : really ? did you reach out to him ? meredith : despite my bravado , no , i have n't called my dad . victor : well , sometimes , you know , it 's easier said than done to overcome problems within children and parents . so ... at least you have an opportunity that i do n't . meredith : what 's that ? victor : well , i 'm behind these walls . i do n't have the luxury of going to my children . they have to come to see me . meredith : no , victor . it is far more complicated than me just being in the same room with my father . victor : and it 's far easier to wallow in anger and past slights , injuries done to each other , right ? meredith : i 'm not holding a grudge . i just -- victor : just ... you 're right and he 's wrong . simple as that , right ? you know , i 've been living here long enough now to realize that it 's no good to keep that cycle of recriminations going . you need to break it . someone needs to make the first the first step . meredith : well , yes , i suppose a conversation would help , but the very idea of just dialing the ph -- i -- victor : oh . tell you what . why do n't you and i talk about that ? we help each other . because we both need to do it . you know that . we both need to talk to our families . phyllis : i called you because i am desperate . there 's a glitch . billy : yeah , i would say there 's a glitch . phyllis : with pass key . billy : how could that be ? phyllis : the flawless programming is n't so flawless . there are reports of a security breach . billy : i would say that 's more of a catastrophe . phyllis : well , it will be if it does n't get fixed . billy : well , then you should call natalie , not me . phyllis : she refuses to fix the problem . billy : there 's nothing i can do about that . phyllis : i need you to speak to her . billy : it 's not my problem anymore , phyllis . i was unceremoniously dumped from my pet project and from jabot by your husband , if you remember . phyllis : well , i would place the blame on your ex - wife for that one . victoria 's the one who forced jack 's hand . billy : nobody forced jack to turn his back on his family , so if you ask me , i would say he earned this particular catastrophe . natalie : where does phyllis get off throwing around threats like that ? let her try and sue me . i can afford big attorneys now . kevin : for how long ? do you want all your money eaten up by legal fees ? natalie : wait , you 're on her side ? kevin : well , i can kind of see phyllis ' point . natalie : but you stood up for me . you agreed with me . kevin : i still do , but , natalie , you have to admit , jabot has a lot riding on pass key . natalie : they own it , which makes this their headache . kevin : yeah , but it 's your reputation . do you really want to be known for creating something that does n't work ? natalie : i can build a new reputation now . one that matches my new clothes and my new shoes and my new attitude . kevin , look at me . i 've changed . i 've morphed into the stylish , successful woman i 've always wanted to be . and i 'm not gon na go back to crouching over my computer alone , a loser with no friends . hell , now i can afford to buy new friends . kevin : look , you can be beautiful and rich and smart all at the same time . natalie : say that again . kevin : you can be beautiful and -- kevin : hey . you 're back . mariah : i came to tell you something . natalie : really ? what is it ? mariah : i 'm moving out . faith : is there anything we can do to help daddy ? sharon : well , you 're just a little girl , faith . i do n't want you to feel pressured by our grown - up problems . faith : but i really want to help . sharon : well , i 'm sure a few extra - big hugs from you will help make your daddy feel better . faith : i can do that . sharon : i 'm sure you can . faith : can i borrow your phone to text summer and noah ? sharon : sure . but why ? faith : i think daddy should have extra hugs from all of his kids . do n't you ? adam : so , yeah , that 's his plan . he 's gon na use meredith gates to influence her father and get himself an early release . victoria : well , she showed up to sage 's memorial , so it 's safe to assume that meredith gates is already in dad 's camp . nick : dad 's clearly making his move . adam : i hope you 're not getting too comfortable in that chair because when he comes back , he 's gon na come back guns a - blazing . victor : i 'll make you a deal . you try to reconcile with your own father , and i 'll try to do the same with my family . meredith : i do n't know about that . victor : think of all the walls i have to kick down to get to them . you have only one . meredith : hey , dad . it 's me . billy : good luck finding a way out of this mess , but i 'm not it . phyllis : hey . this goes way beyond punishing jack . if jabot does not fix this program , it could destroy it completely . and i know you do not want to see the family company demolished . if you have any pull with natalie , i am asking you to use it . please . [ next_on ] lily : my father is a liar and a kidnapper . how do you think i am ? abby : you blame me , do n't you ? jack : what 's going on ? | nick and victoria decide to bury themselves in work to forget about their troubles . nick advises billy and victoria to fight for their love and not let anger get in the way of their happiness . billy and victoria tell nick that their relationship is finished . jack 's identity is stolen due to a glitch in the pass key program . phyllis asks natalie for help fix it , but she refuses because she is out of the computer business . sharon encourages mariah to tell kevin how she feels , when mariah goes to talk to kevin , she sees him kissing natalie , so she tells him she is moving out of his house . fiona agrees to put jabot products back on the shelves of her stores when jack promises that billy is not a part of jabot . fiona warns jack that billy and phyllis have feelings for each other , and he should open his eyes and see the truth . adam tells victor that he knows about his plan to get early parole by getting close to dr. gates , so that she can persuade her father who is the head of the judicial review board to give him early parole . adam tells nick and victoria about victor 's plan to get out of jail . |

[ door slams ] abby : i can not believe you . i can not believe that you went behind my back and talked to dad . what i said about scott , i said in confidence . ashley : your father told you . abby : yeah , he told me . you know , you give me all of this advice about how to handle the situation , and then you hightail it over there to confront him -- why ? ashley : i 've worked with him and lived with him . i know when he 's up to something , okay ? and you 're my daughter . if you tell me that you feel undermined and unappreciated , then , you know what , my mom instincts are gon na kick in . ashley : i am not 5 years old . i am a senior executive at a fortune 500 company . ashley : well , if it 's any consolation , scott did n't mention anything about ... having to keep tabs on you . abby : yeah , yeah . like he 's gon na admit that 's why dad hired him . ashley : i think he 's an honest person . he sees to have a lot of integrity . i ca n't imagine he 'd be involved in some kind of a devious plan like that . abby : he owes dad his life . and he obviously despises me . i 'm sure he 's drooling at the thought of finding proof that i 'm not this trustworthy , loyal daughter . ashley : well , only if there 's proof to be found . is there ?

billy : yeah . or pinch . you know , either way . whatever works . does n't matter how i feel about him personally . we work here together as a team , and brash & sassy 's success is most important , even if some of us are willing to take risks . other ones , specifically from the outback , not really into -- what was that for ? juliet : i thought that was a test . billy : right . it was . you 're a good listener . juliet : [ sighs ] billy : congratulations . i guess it does n't take me long to jump on the anti- cane bandwagon , does it ? juliet : [ scoffs ] billy : [ sighs ] all right . juliet : thank you for this opportunity . billy : for what ? pinch me ? poke me ? no problem . juliet : [ chuckles ] no , to work on the commercial . billy : hey , it 's a no - brainer . you 're doing fantastic work . honestly . okay . i 'm out of here . gon na go hang out with the kids at victoria 's . juliet : i really admire the relationship you and victoria have -- working together , co - parenting . you two make it look so easy . billy : [ chuckles ] yeah , well , it 's taken us a while , but we found a way to peacefully coexist . jack : billy 's immaturity strikes again . heard about the elevator incident . i 'm sorry . it 's no way to find out . if billy could just be an adult and keep his hands to himself in the workplace -- but i guess that 's asking too much of genoa city 's resident lothario . victoria : jack . jack : all i 'm saying is nobody -- nobody with any feeling , that is -- would blame you for giving him the pink slip . victoria : well , jack , you know , your concern warms my heart . but i am not drowning my sorrows over billy and phyllis , and i 'm not about to fire the man that 's gon na make my company a fortune . phyllis : knock , knock . i 'm looking for billy . juliet : you just missed him . oh , hi . phyllis . phyllis : juliet . we met at top of the tower . juliet : briefly . it was getting `` a little too crowded `` for you . phyllis : ah , that 's right . that 's right . billy speaks very highly of you . he 's very excited about this commercial . i 'm surprised he 's not here working on it . do you know where he went ? juliet : victoria 's house . scott : victor wants to know who abby works with , what tasks she keeps or delegates , and when she 's less than transparent . lauren : [ chuckles ] well , that actually sounds like spying . scott : officially , we 're a team . i bring the `` real world `` experience , she brings business know - how . and together , we will elevate newman to greater heights . lauren : [ scoffs ] so that 's the story that he sold abby ? scott : she did n't buy it for a second . lauren : mm - hmm . scott : i mean , abby may be vapid and shallow , but she is n't stupid , unfortunately . she knows i 'm just a glorified babysitter , and , uh , she resents it . lauren : i would n't exactly describe her as vapid and shallow . scott : you 've met her , right ? lauren : she could learn a lot from you . and you , in turn , could learn a lot from victor . scott : you know , i agree with the former part of that statement , but the , uh , the latter however , eh ... lauren : all right . all right . well , let me show you a different kind of perspective . you know , honey , i think this is an amazing opportunity for you . victor came from nothing , and built his empire with his own two hands . if you are going to dive into the corporate world , there is no one better to learn from than victor newman . scott : there 's you . lauren : and i 'm very flattered . but -- scott : but we both know why i have to work at newman and not fenmore 's -- you gave me life . victor saved it . and i owe him , but ... it 's a debt i 'll never be able to repay . lauren : you 're sitting here because of victor . we went to him out of desperation . and he did not owe me or michael , and he barely knew you , yet he paid the ransom . scott : i know . i know . i know . and i actually like the man , despite his many contradictions . probably because of them . i 'm not trying to be ungrateful , you know ? i just -- it 's not what i -- lauren : i know . i know . i know this is n't the life that you saw for yourself . scott : wearing my suit ? going in to an office every day and keeping track of a trust - fund baby ? no . it 's not my dream job . lauren : but after everything that victor has done for us ... can it just be enough ? for now ? ashley : you 're keeping something from me , and you have been for a while . i can always tell . abby : just because i do n't tell you ever detail of my life does n't mean i 'm keeping secrets . ashley : what about that tech incubator project , abby ? abby : he rejected it . you already know that . ashley : i do know that . your father rejected it . i also know that you were talking about being anxious and nervous , something about problems that could n't be fixed concerning it . and then you ran out of here before i could get clarification or even offer you my support . abby : yeah , there you go again , sticking your nose where it does n't belong . ashley : you are my daughter . abby : i am an adult . i do n't need you to protect me . [ sighs ] ashley : okay . maybe i am a little overprotective of you sometimes . your father pretty much told me the same exact thing . abby : he did ? well , um , what else did he say ? ashley : that you were overreacting , and that working with scott would make you a more well - rounded executive . abby : well , it 'll certainly make me a more patient executive . [ scoffs ] scott is a condescending jerk . and now that he knows mommy ran to daddy , yeah , it 's only gon na make things worse . do you know what you 've done to my reputation ? phyllis : so ... billy 's at victoria 's ? juliet : yep . phyllis : did he say why ? juliet : to see the kids . phyllis : right . the kids . of course . [ chuckles ] it must be so weird for you to see all these exes running around this building , working here . some of the exes who are dating each other . juliet : eh , i 'm a go - with - the - flow kind of girl . phyllis : yeah . yeah , me too . that 's why i totally support billy spending time with the kids . you know , 100 % . it 's important to him . victoria : the commercial , shooting in l.a. , hiring the high - profile director -- that 's all billy . jack : bully for him . victoria : mm - hmm . i should be thanking you , too . jack : me ? victoria : well , yeah . we would n't be here right now if you had n't so graciously conceded the hockey contract . jack : gee , i think i liked it better when i thought you were crying into your wine . victoria : oh , please . i am not gon na waste any time worrying about billy and phyllis ' on - again , off - again romance . between work and the kids , we 'll be spending a lot of time together , so we should bury any hostility that we might feel for one another . jack : boy , that 's awfully magnanimous of you . victoria : well , who knows how long it 's gon na last between the two of them , anyway , right ? jack : well , for what it 's worth , i think phyllis is in this for the long haul . she thinks the two of them have been put to the test , and they 've passed with flying colors . it 's all gon na be clear sailing from here . victoria : that 's not gon na happen . we both know that she can only keep up this spontaneous , no - pressure attitude for long . and when it implodes , i just want things to get back to normal with billy as soon as possible . jack : so that begs the question -- are you keeping him at brash & sassy for business or personal reasons ? scott : i 'm just not used to being stationary . i - i like being able to pick up and go at a moment 's notice . going places that people wo n't go , you know ? seeing stories and horrors that no one even thinks about . lauren : and those stories have helped so many people . and you 've given those people a voice . but , honey , we live in very perilous times . scott : which is why i need to get back out there and write about these injustices , these threats to civil liberties . there are stories that have to be told . more people that need me to be their voice . lauren : but it is so dangerous . scott : i know you worry . lauren : i worry a lot . i worry about your brother , fen , who 's just a few states away , but ... but you ... i feel guilty . scott : guilty ? lauren : i sent you away when you were very young . i kept moving you all around so sheila could n't find you . and , uh ... i 'm wondering , did i create this wanderlust inside of you ? you ca n't settle down . you crave this vagabond lifestyle . scott : no . all that was to protect me , mom . i became a journalist because it was like a calling . something i -- i had to help . lauren : you remind me of your dad . [ chuckles ] it 's the reason he became a doctor . to help patients that other people would n't . [ sighs ] he was the most compassionate man i 've ever met in my entire life . but i do n't want to lose you , too . scott : oh , mom . i 'm sorry for the sleepless nights i cause you . come here . lauren : [ sighs ] listen , um ... if newman does n't pan out , will you stay in genoa city ? [ door opens , knocking ] phyllis : hey . lauren : oh . hi . phyllis : hi . uh , i thought we had a meeting , but i can come back another time . no problem . scott : no , no , no . it 's fine . i -- i got stuff to do . scott : bye . how are you , phyllis ? phyllis : i 'm good . scott : good . jack : i thought you and billy were getting closer . victoria : we were . but i had to push him away . jack : had to ? victoria : i should get going . can i get the check , please ? jack : victoria -- victoria : look , can you just leave it alone ? jack : look , i know you 're upset -- victoria : it was a family thing . that 's all you need to know . michael : i marked dina 's counteroffer . neil : michael , this right here is substantially more than what we offered . michael : it 's the opening volley . you know how this works . but this is where it gets really interesting . there are additional provisions that i doubt she mentioned during the initial meeting . neil : oh , no . no ! this -- no ! she ca n't be serious with this . sharon : i saw hilary 's show . um , when she talked about the divorce , and she took her ring off ? devon : yeah . sharon : she seemed genuine when she wished you well . devon : i think she also just knows how to make good tv . sharon : still , i ... i know how hard it must have been . devon : to tell you the truth , sharon , our marriage was over long before the court made it official . she , uh -- all of her lies and schemes just finally caught up to her . but we were separated before mariah and i started dating . sharon : you know mariah is not like hilary . devon : no , she 's not . not at all . sharon : she made some mistakes when she first came to town , but -- but she learned from them . she 's a different woman . she 's honest . she 's trustworthy . mariah really deserves to be happy . mariah : hey . devon : hey , you . how you doing ? mariah : i hope i did n't keep you waiting too long . devon : not at all . [ smooches ] i 'd wait all day for you . you look beautiful . mariah : oh , look at this sweet - talker . [ chuckles ] what were you two talking about ? sharon : oh , i was just asking devon what he has planned for tonight . what , another tour of the city in your private jet ? devon : no , no , no , no , no . i was thinking something a little more low - key tonight . mariah : what 's low - key to you ? is that a yacht ? hot - air - balloon ride ? what ? devon : hey , i was thinking , how about your own hay ride ? mariah : [ gasps ] devon : huh ? mariah : i love it . that trumps everything . but do you think i 'm a little overdressed ? should i change into overalls ? devon : no . no , no , no . we 'll figure something out . do n't worry about it . mariah : all right . well , let 's get to it . devon : let 's do it . mariah : i will see you later . sharon : bye . have fun . devon : have a good night . thank you . [ cell phone chimes ] devon : [ sighs ] oh , man ... oh , this ca n't be good . jack : when you say `` a family thing , `` are you referring to nikki and victor ? victoria : jack , would you please leave it alone ? jack : i only ask because of the conversation i had with your mother recently . where she asked for my advice in getting her `` mojo `` back . victoria : did she actually use that word ? jack : an exact quote . victoria : when was this ? jack : let 's see . your father was out of town on one of his mysterious sabbaticals . no one knew where he was or when he was coming back . maybe one of these times he 'll come back , and nikki will have wised up and left him . victoria : well , would n't that be something ? i hate to break it to you , but their marriage is rock - solid . jack : then what were you referring to ? victoria : jack , i simply misspoke . it was the wine . trust me , the newmans are as strong and as united as always . jack : `` it was the wine `` ? ashley : honey , i assure you , your reputation is in tact . my conversation with your father has not altered it one bit . abby : so you do n't think dad 's gon na hold it against me , or that scott 's gon na make some snarky comment ? ashley : i really do n't . and scott , why would he mention it ? he would n't . abby : you know , you 're saying all the right things , but i -- i just do n't think that you get it . do you know how humiliating that was ? i mean , if your mother had done something -- i 'm sorry . ashley : it 's okay . abby : oh , god . ashley : it 's okay , honey . abby : here i am , complaining about my mom caring too much , when you grew up without a mom . i 'm sorry . ashley : it 's okay . i had a very loving and caring father who more than made up for the fact that my mother was n't present . abby : i know , but it 's not the same , is it ? ashley : let 's get back to the scott situation , okay ? when traci and i were younger , she used to always follow me around , and it used to make me crazy . and i begged my dad , `` please , could you get traci to stop asking to tag along all the time ? `` abby : and did he ? ashley : no . just the opposite . he thought i should include traci with me and my friends , because if she experienced what i was doing , she would n't want to do it anymore . and you know what ? he was right . i invited her to go to the mall with me and my girlfriends . and it never happened again , because she much preferred staying at home and reading her books than being with a bunch of giggly girls talking about silly boys . i think if you apply that same rationale to the scott situation , you might get similar results . abby : if i immerse him ... ashley : mm - hmm . abby : ... in all of my duties at newman ... ashley : mm - hmm . abby : 'cause you know he hates the corporate world , so he 's gon na get bored , he will quit , and -- oh , my god , grandpa john is a genius . ashley : [ laughs ] he was a genius . he was . he also told me that i could n't run to him every time i had a problem , because there were some things that a parent could not fix for their child . i guess that 's something that we both learned today . and i 'm just sorry it 's taken me a little longer to get there . abby : well , i am very lucky to have you as my mom . ashley : aw , come here . love you , honey . abby : i love you . devon : so , she can just do this -- ambush us with demands like this ? neil : yeah , she can . mariah : i thought this was a done deal after the meeting in paris ? michael : oh , that was just the beginning of a long and complicated dance . neil : hey , devon . devon : [ sighs ] yeah ? neil : we are not giving up , okay ? dina is one cold negotiator . michael : oh , that 's an understatement . she gives victor newman a run for his money . neil : come on . you know me . i 've been in this situation a million times . you can count on me . trust me , all right ? we need to be prepared , go over this whole thing line by line . and we 're gon na start tonight . devon : hey . mariah : hey . devon : some date , right ? i apologize for all this . i can have a car take you home . mariah : are you kidding me ? watching genoa city 's greatest business minds pick apart a contract is exactly what i was hoping for tonight . devon : sure . mariah : i am going to order pizza . does that sound good ? neil : double cheese for me . michael : no , no , no , no . i am having dinner with my beautiful wife . you let me know if you have any questions . neil : hey , thanks , michael . appreciate it . michael : you got it . devon : yeah . thank you , michael . michael : take care . devon : let 's get started . neil : yeah . let 's go . okay . you see this right here ? devon : yeah . neil : this reads like the contract 's a no - go if we do n't agree . this has to be mutually beneficial for everyone involved . if there 's something we do n't like , we speak up . devon : well , what if dina does n't budge ? neil : we walk away . lauren : can i have the quarterly report ? phyllis ? phyllis : hmm ? yeah ? lauren : honey , can i have the quarterly report ? phyllis : oh , yeah . here you go . lauren : thank you . phyllis : sure . lauren : uh , that 's the regional one . phyllis : [ sighs ] lauren : you want to talk about it ? phyllis : victoria . um , she just ... you know , she 's acting all nonchalant that billy and i are back together , but i think it 's a bunch of malarkey . lauren : why ? phyllis : i just ran into her at brash & sassy , and , uh , you know , i was apologizing for my behavior . you know , for when she found us on the elevator . i was trying to step up , you know , be an adult . and then she told me about how , you know , a lot of women would n't like their boyfriend spending so much time with his ex , and dealing with the kids . and then she told me that she 's gon na be going to l.a. with billy , and that she 's gon na make it a trip to remember . so either she wants him back or she 's gon na punish him for choosing me . lauren : and this has you feeling insecure . phyllis : i mean , especially with victoria , the way she 's been playing games a lot lately . lauren : what kind of games ? phyllis : she told billy that she had to handle a family emergency . that 's why she asked for space . but that turned out not to be true . lauren : she lied ? phyllis : yes , right to his face . she said that nikki was having an m.s . flare- up . but the thing is , when jack saw her the same day , he said that she was the picture of health , that there was not a hint of anything wrong with her . lauren : why would she lie about that ? phyllis : i do n't know . but whatever the reason , the newmans now are under jack 's microscope . and he is convinced that nikki and victor are having trouble . he just ca n't figure out what it is . lauren : oh , great . my son just got out of one war zone and just landed in another one . phyllis : yeah . okay . lauren : would you like my advice about billy ? phyllis : yes , please . i just -- i do n't know . please . lauren : okay . phyllis : [ sighs ] lauren : you believe in the love that you have with each other . and do n't let those outside influences get you down and make you doubt . phyllis : thank you . that is what i needed to hear . come here . thank you . [ door opens ] michael : ooh . [ laughter ] care to make it a group hug ? phyllis : oh , i - i got to get going . but i 'll see you soon ? michael : all right . phyllis : all right . okay . bye . michael : rough day ? lauren : i , uh , had a long talk with scott . michael : mm . lauren : you know , and i think i 've got a clear picture as to the kind of man that he 's become , and what he wants with his life . michael : and ... ? lauren : and i do n't think he 's found a reason to stay in genoa city . sharon : yes , phobias are n't going to be on the final . [ doorbell rings ] sharon : i know ! oh , and what about the six main points of view of modern psychology ? oh , those are n't gon na be on the exam ? oh , okay . well , then , i wo n't spend any more time on those . all right . i have to go right now , but i will check in with you later . okay . bye . scott : i did n't mean to interrupt . if you need to study , i can just ... sharon : no , i have just been at it nonstop since this morning . scott : then it 's a good thing i stopped by . you can take a breather and , uh , let all that info sink in . sharon : yeah . you know , mariah said the same thing . she suggested i take a walk . scott : did you take her advice ? sharon : i opened a window and let fresh air in . scott : eh , it 's not the same thing . uh , is she here ? we can gang up on you and take you out of the house for a while . sharon : uh , no . she went out on a date with devon hamilton . scott : ohh . sharon : he just picked her up a little while ago . scott : i assume he passed the mom test ? sharon : i do n't really have to test devon . he 's a great guy . you know , i admit i have concerns . this is the first real boyfriend she 's had in a while , and he does come with some baggage . scott : a lot of the good guys do . sharon : well , i guess i 'm always stuck between trying to give mariah her space or smothering her to make up for lost time . scott : you know , my mom could write the , uh , book on that subject . sharon : mm , well , then there would be two best - selling authors in the family . how 's victor 's biography going ? scott : it 's ... not . sharon : mm . writer 's block ? you know , you could show me what you 've written , and i could give you some ideas . scott : he actually , uh , canceled the project . sharon : why ? scott : uh , supposedly his wife thinks it 's gon na cause issues with the family . sharon : nikki talked him out of it ? that is hard to believe . scott : that 's the reason he gave me . sharon : well , do you have anything else lined up ? scott : i do . sharon : excellent ! scott : [ clears throat ] i am working at newman enterprises . sharon : excellent ... scott : yeah , victor thought it 'd be a good idea to pay back my debt by , uh , putting on a suit and tie and working with abby . sharon : being stuck in a foreign country does n't sound so bad right now , does it ? scott : not at all . [ chuckles ] billy : flopsy , mopsy , and cotton - tail were really good bunnies . they went down the lane to gather blackberries . [ mimics gunfire ] victoria : hi , kids ! johnny : mommy ! billy : hey . victoria : hi , baby . billy : what are you doing ? you gon na go say hi to mommy ? oh , one more , huh ? oh , it did n't stay ! victoria : did you have fun with your daddy ? billy : yeah , we did . we had a good time . katie : mommy ! victoria : hi , baby . oh ! billy : played hide - and - go - seek , played a little dress - up . victoria : oh , yeah ? i see that , uh , dress - up . billy : oh , right . victoria : hey , guys . go upstairs and wash your hands , 'cause it 's almost time for dinner . billy : ow ! victoria : sorry . and , uh , but give your dad one last hug . billy : come here . come here . come here , come here , come here . i want to say bye . come here . bye . mwah ! i love you . johnny : ha ! billy : do n't run .

frederick : oh , stop it . anita : or maybe `` mortified `` is a better word . once her son finds out . frederick : if anyone would be mortified , it would be brittany . and what for ? jill and i are not lovers . there 's nothing going on , anita . nothing , but i 'll tell you what . even if you choose not to believe that , what good do you think it does to go to our daughter and to make her privy to this kind of ugliness ? anita : you and jill are just full of good reasons to keep a lid on this , are n't you ? frederick : why do n't you think about brittany ? i mean , if she thought that we were both out there cheating on each other , she would be devastated . it would just make matters worse . i sh you could have seen the pain in her eyes when i told her the news . anita : i do n't want to cause brittany any additional pain . frederick : then you wo n't go to her with your suspicions . anita : with my facts , you mean . i ca n't make you any promises . i do n't know what i 'll say if brittany comes to me . frederick : anita . anita : do n't `` anita `` me . we would n't be in this dreadful situation if you had , for one moment , thought about the repercussions of your actions . frederick : you know , i get so tired of telling you nothing happened with jill . why do n't you have just one little ounce of faith in me ?

he ca n't stand to be around her . he wants to move to los angeles to be with my family . so you see , it does n't matter how christine manipulates him 'cause it 's not gon na work . we 're not coming back . diane : you know , i 'm listening to you , and you 're living in a dream world . isabella , you have got to prepare yourself . isabella : prepare myself for what ? diane : just take it from me . your life is about to change . and you can sit there and deny it until hell freezes over , but , isabella , i 'm worried about you ! isabella : you know what ? just g out . just get out ! get out ! you are wrong ! you are so wrong ! paul lives in california . he has put her behind him . he 's building a new life . he made the break . so nothing is going to hurt us . nothing . diane : i , too , was clinging on to something until piece by pie , , everything was taken away from me . isabella : diane , i 'm not going to say it again . just get out .

kelly : jack ... when i stood in front of you in the hotel room upstairs and ... fully exposed , and you chose to honor your commitment to phyllis ... jack : i know i hurt you . and i 'm sorry . it 's just ... summer has been through so much . kelly : yes , she has . and phyllis has been through even more . and if she wakes up from the coma , i mean , you 're gon na want to be with her . you said so yourself . and you should be . i heard the way that you talked about her , all her fire and her passion and how much you miss that , how much you miss her . jack : i just wanted to be honest with you . kelly : well , good guys always are . jack : but i hurt you , and that is not what i wanted at all . kelly : look , it 's not all your fault . i said i could deal with it . i wanted you so badly , i convinced myself that i could deal with whatever happened , even if it meant getting my heart broken again . jack : and now ? sharon : i kept saying i was sorry . obviously i remembered something that i regretted doing . dr. mead : it might have been completely unrelated to your secret . sharon : why did you have dr . mead bring me out of it ? nick : 'cause i was worried about you . dr. mead : i tried to tell you both that it was n't a good idea to have nick here when i hypnotized you . nick : well , i 'm glad i was . dr. mead : i think you 've had enough for one day . we can schedule another session . sharon : i want you to put me back under now . nick : no . no , we 're not doing this again . it 's too stressful . sharon : nick , i need to find out what i 'm hiding . nick : look , i do n't -- i do n't care , all right ? i already told you . i do n't care what this secret is . sharon : how can you say that when you do n't even know what it is ? nick : because it does n't matter to me . sharon : it matters to me . if i 'm carrying around a secret that could cause me to end up losing you , i would never feel that i deserve you or your love . nick : it scares me that you 're doing this . sharon : it scares me a lot more not to . you have to let me do this . dr. mead , i do n't want you to bring me out this time until i tell you my secret . dr. mead : [ sighs ] billy : are you seriously trying to use my daughter to guilt me into taking satan 's money ? chelsea : if you could just take all of your hatred for adam and put it aside for five seconds and focus on all the good things that this money could do for the delia project . billy : why ? so he can balance the karmic scales from hell ? chelsea : forget about adam . this is n't about adam . this is about delia . what she gave to connor . i mean , she gave him -- she gave him a miracle , billy . i want other parents , other kids to have miracles . they can have them if you just take the money ! think about all the hundreds -- no , the thousands of kids who can be exposed to the arts that delia loved . think about that . their lives can be enriched and improved if you just put them above your hatred for adam . billy : so i can either be the petty jerk that , uh , refuses a ridiculously generous contribution to the foundation bearing my child 's name ? chelsea : or you could graciously accept my donation . billy : well , contrary to , uh , overwhelming public opinion that , uh , you know , i ca n't rise above being a jerk , i think i 'll ... i 'll go with option `` b. `` chelsea : yes ! thank you ! you 'll take the donation ! billy , you will not regret it . thank you . thank you . billy : yeah , yeah , this pit that i 'm feeling at the bottom of my stomach ? chelsea : oh , that 's okay . you 're just not used to doing the right thing . [ both chuckle ] chelsea : and now you did . you did twice in the past week . look at that . billy : oh , really ? so , what was the other heroic deed that , uh , i unknowingly committed , huh ? chelsea : well , you took connor and me to the hospital after i slapped you for no reason . billy : well , i think an unwilling advance is a pretty good reason . chelsea : it was just a kiss . i should n't have made such a big deal about it , especially since you and i have already -- billy : yeah . chelsea : anyway , uh -- [ chuckles ] anyway , um , we both know why you did that , you know . it 's because victoria 's dating ... billy : yeah , you know what ? you do n't have to say his name , all right ? it just makes me want to put my hand through a wall . and my hand is healed , so ... chelsea : okay . this is me not causing your hand any further pain . done . billy : yeah , and , you know , and , uh , why hurt it again over somebody that 's not gon na be a problem soon anyway ? chelsea : billy ... why does that mean ? billy : it means that i 'm working on a way for dr . feelgood to stay out of victoria 's life for good . chelsea : no . that 's not a good idea . victoria : nothing is going on . i went to a charity board meeting that my mother did n't know about . then i saw my doctor for my annual checkup , and i got a prescription filled for johnny . that 's it . stitch : that 's kind of weird , all those trips to the hospital in such a short span of time . victoria : you know what 's kind of weird is you tracking my schedule . and honestly , it 's a little annoying . stitch : i did n't mean to overstep . victoria : look , you just went through a messy divorce , and maybe you and your ex - wife broke up because there were lies and there were secrets , and maybe that 's lowered the bar for you as far as trusting people , but you should n't project that onto me . stitch : i just felt like you were n't being honest with me . victoria : i am trying really hard to be honest with everybody involved in this situation right now . stitch : and i appreciate how hard this is for you , being pulled between me and billy . victoria : it 's a lot harder than you can imagine . stitch : if there 's anything i can do to help ... victoria : [ sighs ] no , there 's not . so , if there 's nothing else , then you should ... stitch : actually , there is one more thing . chelsea : you ... [ sighs ] you might make things worse with victoria if you cause trouble about stitch . billy : chelsea , i do n't think you understand what 's going on between the three of us . chelsea : i understand better than you think . billy : the guy is trying to steal my wife . chelsea : if victoria finds out that you 're snooping around in stitch 's past , she 's not gon na be happy about it . billy : she already knows . and you 're right . she 's not happy about it . but she will get over it when she realizes i 'm just trying to protect her . chelsea : what do you think you 're gon na find out about this guy ? he 's a war hero , a doctor . billy : [ laughs ] i do n't care if he 's miss america ! the guy 's hiding something ! chelsea : you think he 's hiding that he 's miss america ? billy : no , that 's not what i meant . although it 's not completely out of the realm of possibilities . chelsea : [ sighs ] okay , so -- so let 's say you find out some secret about this guy , huh ? that does n't automatically mean victoria 's gon na come running back into your arms . billy : i just do n't want to see her hurt . victoria is still my wife , whether some people want to choose to ignore it . chelsea : you guys are separated , billy . billy : she still loves me . i know it . i - i can even feel it sometimes , like the night of abby 's engagement party and when we kissed . i know she felt that , too . chelsea : but she did n't come back to you . billy : it 's because i hurt her badly . and i told her that i would give her the time to work through the pain . and rayburn is taking advantage of that when she 's vulnerable . chelsea : she does n't seem to mind . billy : chelsea ! chelsea : sorry . billy : when i find out what he is hiding , victoria 's not gon na want to have anything to do with him . chelsea : i just -- i do n't think it 's gon na be that easy to get stitch out of her life . stitch : i said i 'd give you space , and i will . but i want you to know i 'm here for you , no matter what . victoria : thank you . i appreciate that . stitch : and while you 're trying to figure things out ... keep this in mind . [ door closes ] victoria : [ sniffs ] billy : hello ? victoria : billy ? billy : hey , vicki , what 's up ? is everything all right ? victoria : uh , yeah . i need to talk to you . it 's important . billy : okay . victoria : can you come by the house ? billy : yeah , i can be there as soon as i can . hmm . that , uh , that was vicki . she wants to talk to me , said it was important . chelsea : that 's good . well , if you need anybody to talk to after you see victoria , i 'm a good listener . billy : thanks . cassie : ty . come in . [ chuckles ] abby : thank you . cassie : you brought your bodyguard . tyler : knock it off , mariah . abby : do n't worry , tyler . i can handle your ex . cassie : this is gon na be good . what have you got for me , princess ? abby : an offer you ca n't refuse . cassie : i 've heard that before . dr. mead : let 's go back to the night you were trying to get somewhere and someone was trying to stop you . and that night , you were anxious . but when you remember , you will feel relaxed and calm because a huge burden will be lifted from you . are you ready ? sharon : yes . dr. mead : something happened . it frightened you . you said you -- you did n't mean to do it . sharon : no . i did n't . dr. mead : and what happened next ? sharon : i ... i got in my car . my hands were shaking . i was scared , so scared . dr. mead : because of what you 'd done ? sharon : i felt so guilty . i wanted to get away , but this voice kept telling me i had to go back home , i had to do what was right for her . i was afraid that if nick found out what i 'd done , he would be angry . but i had to go back and face nick . dr. mead : did you ? sharon : yes . i went back home . dr. mead : is there anything else ? sharon : i do n't remember . dr. mead : i 'm going to count backwards from five , and when you wake up , you will feel calm and relaxed and remember everything that we talked about . five ... four ... three ... two ... one . [ snaps fingers ] sharon : [ sighs ] dr. mead : are you okay ? sharon : [ sighs ] i still do n't remember what my secret was . nick : i think i do . cassie : you gon na put a horse 's head in my bed if i do n't accept your `` offer `` ? abby : i would never hurt something as good and decent as a horse . tyler : okay , you know what , abs ? let 's just get this over with and get out of here , all right ? cassie : yeah , abs . abby : fine , let 's get started . should n't take long . i know how people like you operate . cassie : oh , did ty fill you in ? abby : tyler did n't have to tell me how you tick . if i want you to , i do n't know , say , impersonate my dead niece , all i have to do is pay you . cassie : and what is it you want me to do exactly ? abby : my dad paid you to stay in town and torment sharon . i 'll pay you double to leave . cassie : [ scoffs ] boy , you newmans sure do like to buy people . tell me , what 's the , uh , going rate for a husband from the wrong side of the tracks ? abby : for your information , tyler and i have a prenup . cassie : i 'll bet daddy made sure of that . abby : actually , tyler had it drawn up , so it looks like you 're the only one here who 's all about money . cassie : everybody is all about money . some of us just have to work harder for it . abby : [ scoffs ] and i can only imagine how hard you had to work . cassie : [ chuckles ] yeah , i 've seen some tough times . but some of my toughest times have also been my happiest , like when i was living in a dump in the hawthorne district and i had to figure out every day how i was gon na survive . abby : well , this will take care of your money worries . all you have to do is name your price . cassie : is that what you want ? sharon : you know what it is i 've been keeping from you ? nick : i think this is all about the fire at the ranch . sharon : but you already knew that . nick : this has obviously been weighing on your mind . sharon : i do n't know . nick : think about it , sharon . you said you felt guilty about something . i know you always felt bad about burning my dad 's house down . sharon : well , then why did i scream like i 'd seen something horrific ? nick : i do n't know . maybe you remember the house going up in flames . you were probably right next to it . you could have been right in the middle of it . sharon : well , if burning down victor 's house is the secret i was keeping , then ... it makes sense that i was apologizing , but who was i trying to stop ? no one was there when i started the fire . what woman would have been there ? nick : maybe it was n't a woman at all . maybe it was a little girl . sharon : what do you mean ? nick : do you remember a few weeks after the fire ? you said you felt like the walls were closing in . sharon : i ran off with faith . nick : you said faith begged you to take her home . sharon : she was crying in the back seat . nick : you were trying to stop her from crying . and you said that she was hurt . she was n't physically hurt . you were hurting her by taking her away from her family . sharon : and i felt awful . that 's why i brought her back home . nick : it all fits , sharon . it all fits . sharon : i guess so . nick : you convinced yourself that i would never forgive you for burning down my dad 's house or running off with faith . sharon : do you ? nick : sharon , you were sick . everyone turned their back on you , including me . if anyone needs to ask for forgiveness , it 's me . sharon : you 're not the one who did those horrible things . nick : and you are not that person anymore . you need to stop thinking the worst of yourself . you need to believe that . jack : i do n't want to break your heart . i do n't want to hurt you in any way at all . kelly : [ chuckles ] because , despite your arguments to the contrary , you are a good guy , jack . jack : after what i did to you the other night , you can still say that ? kelly : you know , it 's why i say it . i mean , come on . you 're a man . you have needs , needs that could have been met in that hotel room all night long . [ laughs ] but ... i think we both want more than that from each other . i mean , at least i do . jack : i want so much more than just sex with you . i feel connected to you in a way i ... i did n't think i ever would feel again . you remind me i love vivaldi and remind me i hate foreign films . kelly : [ exhales sharply ] jack : a walk in the park is like poetry and ... and you make me laugh . and you make me feel , feel in a way i - i did n't think that was possible anymore . i do n't want to walk away from that . maybe you do n't feel the same way . kelly : no , i do . jack : then -- then what ? what can i do to make this right ? kelly : transport us to another time , another place . jack : a place where phyllis does n't exist ? kelly : i 've lost so much , jack . i just do n't think i can stand to lose any more . victoria : you 're gon na have a good life , no matter who your dad is .

[ next_on ] adam : victor 's so busy holding all the cards , he does n't realize that i got an ace up my sleeve . victor : hopefully one day i 'll be in a position where i can reconcile with my family . meredith : you will . billy : phyllis . phyllis : stop talking . | at the park , mariah told kevin that she was moving out , then she rushed away . kevin wondered if mariah was right when she said the money changed him and natalie for the worse . natalie thought mariah was just jealous . natalie kissed kevin , and suggested going back to his place for privacy , but kevin said they could work on pass key instead . kevin convinced natalie to repair pass key . referring to ben 's situation , dylan told sharon that it would be hellish if anyone tried to take their son away . mariah came to sharon 's and saw how good dylan was with sully . after dylan left , mariah said sharon had been right to hide the miscarriage and get pregnant again . sharon asked why mariah kept throwing the miscarriage in her face . mariah asked to move back in and sharon said yes . kevin came by ; he admitted he 'd been a jerk , and he and begged mariah to come home , but she refused . jack approached phyllis and billy at the park and asked what was going on . phyllis said she 'd asked billy to convince natalie to repair pass key . billy cryptically said that there was one person who could get him to agree to help . jack 's eyes narrowed in suspicion , and he impatiently asked billy what he wanted . billy told jack to ask his wife . phyllis flashed back to the kiss . jack looked to phyllis for answers , and billy urged her to tell jack . phyllis said she 'd been stupid to think she could count on billy . billy knew jack thought that billy would only do what was best for billy . billy said that jack would never admit to needing help . billy decided to go talk with fiona about brash and sassy and to ask her to carry jabot 's products too . jack said billy should n't bother since he 'd already worked out an exclusive deal with fiona . billy conceded that jabot had won this round . billy left the park after vowing to take fiona on a motorcycle ride . jack asked if phyllis would chase billy again . phyllis said she was through doing that because billy had no loyalty he 'd stolen brash and sassy , turned his back on jack and taken that `` slut `` fiona to bed . jack thought phyllis was being harsh on fiona because she was jealous of her and billy . jack felt that nothing had gone right since phyllis and billy teamed up . jack said he did n't know who phyllis was anymore , and he stormed off , leaving her in tears . phyllis went to billy 's and said jack knew there was something between them , so she and billy had to stay away from each other for the sake of her marriage . billy contended that phyllis wanted to be with billy . he pulled her into a passionate kiss . |
phyllis : there we go . there we go . all righty . what do we got ? we 've got the crab enchiladas . check . we got the fresh ceviche . check . and we 've got the homemade tomatillo salsa . yes . check . and then we 've got our eggs , got our sugar , our cocoa powder , and [ french accent ] the pièce de résistance , chocolat . beautiful . [ normal voice ] okay , then . mm - hmm . [ cell phone rings ] victoria : hey , billy . billy : hey . i 'm glad you picked up . victoria : what 's wrong ? you sound out of breath . billy : [ sighs ] we have a major problem with the commercial shoot . it 's actually a major crisis . victoria : what ? everything 's been scheduled . we 're supposed to be leaving in the next few days . billy : yeah , you can take that schedule and trash it . it 's not gon na happen . but i think i have a fix . juliet : the location scout came up with these choices for studio space . cane : they 're expensive . there 's nothing more affordable ? juliet : i asked that , too . the problem is our plans are a bit last - minute . no getting around that , though , especially if you want the commercial to air before the hockey championships . cane : yeah , well , we can thank billy for that . billy : did i hear my name ? cane : yeah , we 're talking about you and your ridiculously expensive commercial . billy : well , brace yourself . it 's about to get even more expensive . our director can only shoot the day after tomorrow , so we need to hightail it to l.a. as soon as possible . cane : [ chuckles ] victoria 's not gon na go for that . billy : oh , she just did . so pack your bags . we 're heading to hollywood . sharon : wow . that ... came out of nowhere . scott : not for me . i 've been thinking about it a long time . sharon : you have ? scott : yeah , almost from the moment i met you . sharon : well , that 's sweet . and it 's not that i have n't , you know , thought about doing it . scott : [ chuckles ] sharon : i mean , you doing that with me . scott : mm - hmm . sharon : it 's just that the timing 's been , you know ... and i ca n't seem to really speak right now . scott : i get it . i get it , i get it . the ink 's still fresh on the divorce . it 's okay . sharon : actually , i 'm not ... officially ... yet ... divorced . mariah : oh . hilary : [ chuckles ] well , i 'm surprised to see you here without a bodyguard . mariah : oh , come on . grandiose is your department . besides , who needs bodyguards ? i seem to remember winning our little cat fight . hilary : [ laughs ] jordan : what 's with that look ? you did n't think i 'd show ? hilary : well , i was n't sure . that 's why i decided to ask your voicemail . jordan : here i am . hilary : i know i messed up by bragging about our sex life to devon . jordan : yelling about it in his hallway is n't exactly subtle . but that 's not the reason why i walked away . hilary : i know . you deserve to know where we stand with each other . jordan : i thought i did . but now i wonder . was it all a part of some divorce wars game ? can i even buy anything that you say to me , hilary ? nikki : ah , you excited for open mic night ? tessa : oh , yeah . it 'll be great . are you sure i ca n't get you up on those keys again ? nikki : oh , thank you , but no . i 'm gon na take a pass this time . tessa : i 'm not the best at expressing myself outside of song , but this is really something , you letting me stay here . nikki : i 'm glad to have you . do you like your room ? tessa : it 's awesome . what 's not to like ? there 's a beautiful view , a fabulous bed , an incredible bathroom . it even has one of those rain - shower things . i mean , i just feel like i 'm living in a dream . nikki : well , it 's nice that you 're enjoying yourself . tessa : and the acoustics are great , too . i was playing my guitar a little , and i thought the room would be great for practicing , unless that 's a problem . nikki : why would it be ? tessa : i do n't want to bother mr. newman . nikki : tessa , again , you do n't have to worry about my husband . he keeps to himself these days . scott : i 'm just a little curious why you chose now to clear up where things stand with the divorce . is that kind of a hint for me to put the brakes on or ... ? sharon : no ! no , i - i just thought that i should be up front with you . you 're a reporter . you -- you deal in the facts . and the facts are , technically , that i 'm still married until the decree is final . but i 'm really glad you 're here . scott : i 'm glad to be here , and i 'm glad we 're taking things slow . you know , it makes me anxious to find out more about you . sharon : you do n't say . scott : i managed to , uh , pick up on some of your adorable traits during our very proper courtship . but i feel that there 's much more left to uncover , which makes you even more exciting . sharon : 'cause i 'm a story ? that 's how you see things ? you 're a journalist , so you always think there 's something more to uncover . scott : look , everybody has a story . some are just harder to open up about than others . sharon : it 's true i have been through some rough patches , but my story is not all that remarkable . scott : who said it had to be ? sharon : i do n't want you to think that i 'm someone who needs to be saved . scott : not saved . maybe just heard . billy : look , cane , i 'm not thrilled about being jerked around by our director 's schedule , but we knew when we hired this woman her existing commitments came first , right ? that 's what you get with callie weston , and she 's doing it for scale . cane : she 's not the only director in town , billy . juliet : yeah , but she is the hottest . last year , movie studios were in a bidding war to sign her to a multi - picture deal . billy : right , so if we can use that reputation to expose our brand , then a little inconvenience is not a big deal . cane : it 's not inconvenient . it 's ridiculous , all right ? we 're spending twice what we had budgeted on this . billy : why are you fighting this ? victoria said yes . it 's a done deal . juliet : and it really is up to her . we 've told her how expensive this is . let her worry about the long - term benefits versus the short - term costs . billy : this is her company . it 's her job to worry about that stuff . our job is to make the best commercial we possibly can . is that right ? [ cell phone rings ] billy : it 's l.a . i got to take this . billy abbott . reed : so you 're leaving to california tonight ? victoria : well , i was fully planning on spending the whole evening here , but i have to leave in the next few hours , so i got to go home , i got to pack , i got to track down hannah and make sure she 's available to move in and take care of everything while i 'm away . reed : you know , there is another option . i can drive now . i know how everything works at the house . and i 'm katie and johnny 's older brother . victoria : leaving you in charge ? no , i 'm sorry , honey . that 's not gon na happen . reed : you still do n't trust me . victoria : would you excuse us for a minute , noah ? noah : sure thing . victoria : yes , i trust you , okay ? i loan you my car , i let you perform here on school nights , i let you choose your own friends . reed : yeah , but just not enough to let me take care of things alone for a few days . victoria : you want the responsibility ? fine . you got it . reed : [ scoffs ] you 're kidding . victoria : no , i am very serious , and i hope you are , too . reed : of course . victoria : good . okay . let 's go over your brother and sister 's schedule for the next three days . you 're gon na need to get up an hour earlier and make sure that they 're fed and dressed , get them to school . reed : okay . victoria : okay ? and then when you are done with school , you need to pick them up and take hannah 's place in carpool . reed : carpool ? victoria : these are very busy kids , reed . they have activities almost every day . johnny 's got gymnastics . katie 's got dance . they have play dates . there 's a birthday party . they 're each gon na need a present . and then they have the dentist . it 's not their favorite thing in the world , but it 's just checkups and cleanings . unless , of course , there 's a cavity . but then you can deal with that , right ? reed : yeah , no . of course i can , mom . um , it 's just i 've got , like , homework and important stuff like my guitar lessons and -- and other stuff that i have to take care of . plus , i mean , i would n't want to take work from hannah . victoria : oh , that is so considerate of you , baby . so sweet . okay , well , listen . have a stellar set , and if i do n't see you back at the house , i 'll call you when i get to l.a. , okay ? mwah . reed : all right . bye , mom . also ... is billy coming to see the kids while you 're gone , or ... ? victoria : no , actually , this tv commercial is his idea . so he 'll be in l.a . reed : okay . cool . victoria : yeah , he 'll be running the show , and i 'll be there to make sure that it works out for all of us . reed : awesome . well , have fun . love you . sharon : you 're right . i do need to be heard . i think a very long , rather unhinged rant has been building up inside of me this entire semester about ... studying and course work and crisis hotline training , which is so intense , i think there should be a hotline for people who are training to be on staff at crisis hotline . scott : okay , wow . wow . anything else you want to put in that rant ? sharon : you mean like juggling my college courses with running a coffeehouse and sharing custody of a tween daughter ? because that is a sub - rant unto itself . scott : i 'm a very good listener . sharon : which is why i am presenting you with a one - time opportunity to trade in the mega - rant i just described for a special mystery prize . scott : so , you 're not just a student , barista , crisis trainee , mom . you 're also a game show host ? sharon : five seconds on the clock . i will need an answer . scott : wait , wait , wait , wait . what 's the mystery prize ? sharon : uh , hello ? it is a mystery . but i will give you a hint . two tickets to open mic night at my son 's club . drinks included . scott : can i bring you ? sharon : that 's part of the prize . scott : [ sighs ] i 'll take it . let 's go . sharon : [ chuckles ] you have chosen wisely . give yourself a round of applause . scott : you see what a little ranting can do to get all that stuff off your chest , and then you 're , uh , ready to go out and have fun . sharon : looks like i just averted my first crisis . tessa : if you need anyone to clean the stables or , uh , do laundry or clean windows -- nikki : honey , we have a wonderful staff that takes care of all of that for us and for our guests . so you should use your free time to work on your music . tessa : people work their whole lives to be treated like this . so , thank you -- again . uh , i 'd better head to the underground . you want to come with ? just to watch . nikki : oh , thank you , but i have a lot of phone calls i have to make for the benefit . i have learned over the years that this is the best time to hit up some of our donors . tessa : after they 've retired to the library for a few cocktails ? nikki : you know , you 're catching on to this fundraising thing very quickly . tessa : [ chuckles ] nikki : no , you go tonight and have fun , and we 'll catch up later . tessa : okay . nikki : what ? is everything okay ? tessa : it 's just such a weird trip living in a place like this . nikki : well , you better get used to it , my dear . tessa : okay . see ya . nikki : see ya . billy : just got off the phone with callie weston 's agent . our director is a lock . juliet : great . one thing down . billy : 99 more to go . you , me -- we 're gon na be connected at the hip . i hope you do n't mind i 'm gon na need more time of yours once we get to l.a . juliet : not a problem . i thrive in crisis mode . billy : sounds good . juliet : what is it ? cane : it 's nothing . juliet : come on , cane . it 's obvious you 're not too pleased about me working so closely with billy . cane : why would i even care about that ? juliet : that 's what i would like to know . so maybe you should tell me before it becomes a thing . cane : i do n't know , i just have a bad feeling about it . i 've known billy too long , and i know him too well . i just do n't like it . juliet : you 're acting like this is a major permanent shift . it 's only temporary . just for the trip , really . cane : can we just drop it ? juliet : what ? why ? jordan : devon and mariah caught you in the apartment ? hilary : well , they came home , but they did n't catch me because i hid . jordan : so they did n't know that you were there ? hilary : no . they were too busy ... getting busy . rather loudly just a few feet from where i was hiding . i heard everything . and when they worked their way upstairs , then i made a run for it . jordan : man . that 's rough . [ sighs ] hilary : see , that 's why when i went back to , you know , move some of my stuff out , i could n't help myself from trying to save face . jordan : okay . that -- that explains a lot . hilary : but it does n't excuse the way that i 've treated you or taken you for granted . and that was n't my intention , okay ? it 's just that this -- this divorce has been ... [ sighs deeply ] ... a lot tougher than i thought that it was gon na be , okay ? and it 's just -- it 's doing a real number on my head . jordan : it 's a major life change . you do n't just move on and get over it . hilary : i feel like i 'm being pulled in two different places . i ... [ sighs ] is it petty of me to -- to be annoyed that devon is ... sleeping with my co - host , or do i really just miss him ? and if i miss him , how long is that gon na last ? and did i make the right decision , or is this gon na be the biggest mistake of my life ? i ... so i am not the woman that you thought that i was . i am just a wreck . jordan : you know what you are ? human . you ca n't just turn your feelings off for someone like a heater in the car , no matter how much you want to . hilary : i really , really want to . jordan : you do n't have to do it on my account . all i ever wanted from you was honesty . and tonight you delivered it , so ... thank you . hilary : i just wanted you to know that i 'm sorry , okay ? and ... i am trying . jordan : that 's good enough for me . [ cell phone chimes ] jordan : [ sighs ] it 's brash & sassy . something important 's happening at the office . i got to get there asap . hilary : you should go . we will continue this later . i mean , if we 're good . jordan : we are now . all right ? i 'll see you . noah : hey , i seen you around . great to finally meet you . scott : likewise . we know a few of the same people . noah : right . scott : but this one i think might be my favorite . noah : you know , oddly enough , mine , too . so , can i get you two kids an out - of- the - way booth , dark , cozy ? sharon : noah , please do n't make me regret leaving the newman compound . scott : and nothing too cozy . it 's a school night . i got to get her back to the compound kind of early . noah : how 's this ? scott : that 's great . noah : hey , you ! ah ! i was starting to worry i 'd have a tessa - free lineup . tessa : well , your crazy grandmother forced me to move into her house . can you believe that ? noah : that 's great ! uh , did you have a hard time getting out of your lease or ... ? tessa : oh , i did n't have one . i was in a temporary situation that i am very glad to be out of . well , i should go tune up , i mean , if you want me to sound halfway decent . noah : well , that 's our slogan around here . `` halfway decent entertainment or your tap water 's free . `` tessa : oh . noah : yeah . uh , you can put your bag and your guitar case in the executive suite . tessa : ooh . well , thank you . noah : you got it . you better be good , honey . bonsoir , chocoholics , and welcome to our lesson featuring my heavenly soufflé au chocolat ! [ chuckles ] phyllis : you speak french like i cook . come on , girl . do n't let me down . lily : my god , i have so much to do before getting on a plane in a few hours . i guess it makes it more exciting , right ? billy : i think so . lily : kind of like a high - wire act , riding a unicycle , juggling chainsaws . billy : you can do that ? do n't tell me . i 'll put it in the commercial . lily : yeah , funny . billy : listen , i know you got a lot to do , but this is gon na be phenomenal , okay ? with this team , we 're gon na power through anything . lily : okay . billy : good . juliet : so why are you shutting down ? this is n't about you and me and what happened in -- cane : all right , it 's not about us , okay ? it 's about the commercial and victoria 's indulging billy to make a point , and i just let it get to me . just , i just want to drop it , okay ? lily : hey . what 's wrong ? sharon : hmm . what should we drink to ? scott : to all the many things there are to know about you . sharon : [ chuckles ] sounds like you have a list of questions prepared already . scott : oh , always . sharon : i guess that is your chosen career . scott : yeah , but i 've always been like this . i was a very nosy child . sharon : well , i think we might have time for one question before the show starts . scott : i 'm just a little curious about something you mentioned earlier , um , when you were outlining your topics for your rant . sharon : oh . what was that ? scott : something about a crisis hotline . sharon : yeah , that 's a mental health program . it 's run by the city , and i got course credit for doing the training , which i just finished . and then at the end of next semester , i write up a paper about my volunteer experience , which also counts as a class . scott : hope that 's not the only reason you 're doing it . sharon : no . i 'm also hoping to benefit financially . scott : oh . sharon : yeah , at the end of each call , i plan on adding a signature tag line . `` there 's no crisis that ca n't be helped with a large coffee from crimson lights . `` scott : okay , i , uh , i deserve that . sharon : completely . scott : yeah . sharon : [ chuckles ] really , uh , the truth is , i could have benefited from having a number to call some of the times when i had a dark moment , but ... i 'm really looking forward to this opportunity . scott : i admire that . as someone who 's been on the edge , alone , more than a few times , you know , hearing your voice at the other end of that line would have certainly been helpful . sharon : you know , someone once said this to me , and i never forgot it . once you climb up a ladder , you do n't just pull it up after you . you look down and you see if there 's anyone else who needs a hand up . [ guitar strumming ] reed : relax . it 's just me . tessa : sorry . reed : [ chuckles ] tessa : i guess i should stick to decaf after dark . reed : yeah , well , i did n't even think you 'd be here . noah and i were talking about it . tessa : oh , i should have called to confirm . with moving today , i was just crazy busy . reed : i heard . noah was telling me that , uh , you moved into my grandparents ' place . that 's pretty rad . i bet it 's a big upgrade from where you were before . tessa : well , i do n't know . between that and my villa in ibiza . [ chuckles ] uh , do you still want to do that thing as a duet ? i heard you were working on it as a solo thing . reed : are you kidding me ? we wrote that song together so we could debut it here . [ knock on door ] noah : you guys ready ? showtime . reed : all right , i 'll meet you out there . tessa : all right . noah : break a leg . tessa : do you have insurance for that ? noah : hmm . tessa : hmm . noah : maybe . tessa : hey , noah . thanks . noah : yeah . cane : my nerves are a little frayed 'cause i hate rushing to stuff , 'cause you know that 's how mistakes are made . juliet : we 're just trying to make sure everything 's in place . this commercial is happening in 48 hours , as i 'm sure you 've heard . lily : yeah . [ chuckles ] so i called the kids , and i gave them the heads - up . cane : thanks , baby . lily : yeah . billy : jordan 's in . love this guy . professional right here . thanks , buddy . jordan : man , do n't worry about me . it 's all good . but to make the best use of our day tomorrow , we should sign off on lily 's wardrobe for my behind - the- scenes stuff . cane : oh , that 's all right . you got it , all right ? i 'm a little swamped . jordan : all right , cool . see ya . cane : hey , hey , hey , hey . come here . i 'm sorry , okay ? i 'm sorry about the way i reacted about the commercial . this is a big deal for you , okay ? and i just ... i just want it to go off without a hitch . that 's all . lily : thank you . cane : okay . lily : i do , too . and look , i know that you 're busting your butt trying to make this happen and being a team player and all , but you really have to dial back the tension i walked in on , especially in front of billy . cane : i 'm still in shock with billy 's plan , you know , and the fact that victoria went along with it without consulting me . i mean , she 's just doing it so she can look cool about the fact that , you know , he 's sleeping with phyllis again . lily : well , either that , or victoria loves the idea of billy being 2,000 miles away from phyllis . phyllis : okay . all right . mmm . [ timer dings ] phyllis : [ humming ] here we go . okay . please , please , please , please , please . please , please . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . oh , my god . it 's hot . it 's hot . come here . come here , baby . come here . come here . [ gasps ] my sweet girl . [ laughing ] oh , my god . i 've only actually gone and done it . magnifique . victoria : thank you , mom . i 'm sorry to just drop by like this . i know you 're busy with the benefit and everything . nikki : oh , honey , you 're fine . i was hoping to get down to the underground for open mic night , but i just finished my last donor call . victoria : oh . how did those go ? nikki : people do seem to be more generous during this after - dinner cocktail hour , but it also makes them much chattier . victoria : [ chuckles ] well , perfect timing , then . i was just wondering if you could drop by the house while i 'm out of town and check on the kids . hannah 's gon na be there , but i would just be a lot happier if you could check in on them , too . i suddenly have to fly to l.a. last minute . nikki : oh , really ? for brash & sassy ? i 'm happy to help . but is n't one of the joys of running your own company the ability to delegate last - minute things like red - eyes ? victoria : [ chuckles ] should be , but even if i could , i would n't . i know that this is billy 's commercial project , and i want to be there for it . i want to be there for him . nikki : billy , huh ? does that mean the two of you are -- victoria : no , mom . at the moment , no , we 're just coworkers . he 's back with phyllis . nikki : oh , dear god . victoria : no , it 's fine . it is what it is . he does n't know the actual reason , but he knew that i was shutting him out . nikki : [ sighs ] i am so sorry . victoria : do n't be , mom . please . phyllis may be winning , but i am still in the game . hilary : that is so exciting ! yes , count me in ! really ? how much excitement can one girl take ? yeah , me , too . okay , i 'll see you there . mariah : hi . when you 're done with all your excitement , there 's a couple things that we have to go over for tomorrow 's taping schedule . hilary : rip it up . it is all gon na change . see , that was jordan , and he is going to be doing some work in l.a. , and i 'll be joining him . mariah : come again ? hilary : well , it 's the perfect opportunity for the show to go hollywood . mariah : wait , taping segments with actual show - biz glitterati ? hilary : exactly . mariah : that 's amazing . i love this idea . and i have n't been to california in years . hilary : ohh , uh ... mariah : really ? hilary : i would love for you to come , honey . i would , but i need you here running things . and you have that summer salad spectacular to tape . mariah : oh , right ! while i 'm here , do you also want me to scrub down the bathrooms ? hilary : okay , what is with the snippy attitude ? i thought that you would revel having devon and genoa city all to yourself for the next few days . mariah : while you whisk away to tinseltown to enjoy jordan , among other attractions . hilary : uh - huh . mariah : it 's fine . devon mentioned something about taking the private jet to new york for dinner one night . which reminds me , i just spoke to our budget guy . so do n't expect anything above coach . middle seat , cash bar . hilary : [ sighs ] victoria : nick said that if i want to get billy back , i have to be myself . and the honest truth is , i have n't been . not ever since we found out what dad did with chloe . i 've had to lie , i 've been evasive and distant with billy . nikki : you know , maybe it was a mistake , my suggesting that you tell billy that my ms had flared up again . victoria : mom , i did n't realize it , but it was already too late . billy and phyllis had already gotten back together . i played right into her hands . you know , i would n't be in this position right now if it had n't been for all the horrible things that dad has done . he is the one who 's responsible for this . nikki : do n't you ever forget that you and billy still share a very deep connection . victoria : [ sighs ] that i 'm well aware . we have the kids . we have the business . what does phyllis have to offer billy ? nikki : [ scoffs ] besides the obvious ? victoria : that and a constant reminder of his wrecked relationship with jack . nikki : yeah , well , that situation has n't improved very much , has it ? victoria : i 'm not giving up . i have a small window to make things right , and this trip is it . lying because of dad may have cost me a chance with billy , but i think california might just be the place to get that back . billy : cane , can you and jordan confer about the promos , and , lily , juliet has your wardrobe if you want to take a look . lily : yeah , sure . right away . cane : hey , what 's up ? jordan : since i 'm taking stills and video of lily before and after the commercial , i figured you 'd want to take a look at this list of iconic l.a . spots , places we can use as backdrops . cane : griffith park observatory , malibu beach , rodeo drive , hollywood bowl . jordan : billy says that he wants to hit as many of these places as possible . cane : are you concerned ? jordan : it 's no big deal to me . i 've been on plenty last - minute shoots . you all go in with a pretty ambitious want list . cane : and ? jordan : and the clock is the clock , you know ? the most capable team can only do what they can do . when you 're in this kind of rush , things happen . things go right . things go wrong . cane : yeah , they sure do . well , hey , i know you 'll do your best . lily : i love this . this is very l.a . juliet : is n't it ?

paul : what are you doing here ? chris : i had no choice . paul : what do you mean , you had no choice ? chris : why did you spend the night on the beach ? paul : how did you know that , and how did you find me ? chris : andy called . he told me where you were . all your stuff is here . chris : i do n't get it . why are n't you staying with isabella 's family ? paul : i needed some space . you still have n't said why you 're here . chris : i 'm looking for you . paul : ( chuckles ) does your husband know you 're here ? chris : i don'thave a husband . i 'm not getting married . ( doorbell rings ) isabella : mary , what are you doing here ? mary : listen , i know all about paul leaving for california with little ricky , but i 'm here to tell you what i think about you , isabella , and all the trouble you 've caused . so do n't even think about asking me to leave until i 've had my say . isabella : well , i was just about to call you . mary : oh , of course . victory is no fun unless you can gloat . isabella : no , mary , no , i wanted to apologize , to apologize for any pain i might have caused you and to tell you how sorry i am that things are n't better between us . mary : you expect me to believe that ? isabella : i understand why you might doubt my sincerity , but just hear me out , okay ? i want to make you an offer , which will prove i mean what i say , mary . mary : an offer , huh ? well , this i can hardly wait to hear . come on , spit it out . isabella : okay . i would like it very much if you would come and live with us in california . j.t . : let me know if you guys need anything . brittany : j.t . , if this is some kind of sick joke -- j.t . : i 'm being straight with you , brittany . brittany : you saw my dad with billy 's mom ? j.t . : at the lodge . brittany : tell me exactly what happened . j.t . : oh , could we not rehash this again , please ? brittany : damn it , j.t . , tell me . j.t . : all right , fine , fine . like i said , i was sitting at a table with your mom . while we were talking , your dad came downstairs with jill . brittany : are you sure it was her ? j.t . : i 'm positive . raul : hey , maybe they were just meeting at the restaurant . brittany : right , for business . j.t . : they never set foot in the restaurant . it was first thing in the morning , and when they came downstairs from the hotel , they looked pretty friendly . brittany : i ca n't believe this . no , no , j.t . , you 're wrong . you have to be . j.t . : i wish i were . i wish i had n't have seen any of this , but i did , and now i 'm telling you 'cause i do n't want you screaming at me later for not saying anything . brittany : this whole time , i thought it was my mom 's fault . j.t . : what ? brittany : i assumed she was to blame , but now -- well , how did she take it when she saw them together ? j.t . : she , uh ... brittany : why am i even asking ? she must have been furious . did she make a scene ? what did she do ? come on , j.t . , answer me ! what happened ? ! ashley : hey . jack : hey , yourself . you got the good stuff for me ? ashley : right here . pretty cool , if i do say so myself . jack : production estimates on four new products for the tuvia line . ashley : we 've got winners there , jack . we could use top - quality ingredients , take the time to do it right and still be competitive . jack : this is excellent . this is just -- boy , keep up the good work . where 's dad ? is n't he supposed to be here ? ashley : no , i was gon na drop that stuff off to him a little bit later . he wanted to go to lunch . jack : lunch ? what , did he run into an old friend ? ashley : no , but i think he 's lost his mind . jack : what do you mean ? ashley : you heard this whole thing about jill finding out she was adopted , right ? jack : yeah , i did hear about that . is that true ? ashley : oh , yeah . jack : oh , my god . ashley : that 's not the half of it . she went through channels to try to find her birth mother . jack : well , there 's a potential train wreck . she find her ? ashley : uh - huh . she thinks she 's died and gone to heaven . dad thinks the birth mother might be a fraud . jack : well , the plot thickens . has dad told jill this ? ashley : no , because he 's not positive , but he 's hell - bent on finding out the truth about this woman . in fact , even as we speak , he 's assembled the unusual suspects . john : am i talking to myself ? katherine , this is charlotte ramsey . charlotte , this is katherine chancellor . kay : nice to meet you . charlotte : my pleasure . kay : john here has told me all about you . charlotte : oh ? kay : yes . it seems that he used to date your sister . charlotte : not my sister . do n't have one , never did . kay : oh , well . john : now how lelely is that , katherine -- two charlotte ramseys in our little town ? it was a lot smaller then . kay : you 're asking me ? john : well , we knew everyone , did n't we ? kay : well , maybe . no offense , ms . ramsey , but , uh , john here seems to have some agenda going . we were supposed to have a nice , friendly lunch together , and instead , he throws you in my face . all right , john , now you tell me what is gog g on because i am beginning to lose my patience . good afternoon . an edmonton family is in mourning today ... after a mother 's day tragedy at an apartment complex in the city 's west end . a ten - year - old girl drowned in the pool . the incident has raised a lot of questions about pool safety - we 'll have story . does edmonton need more firefighters ? ararass fire that got out of hand on the weekend led to one official saying more manpower is needed . plus , a new campaign reminds you to buckle up when you get behind the wheel . that 's tonight at six . q ? 1 john : now , katherine , i am sorry . i did not mean to upset you . kay : and i do n't me to be rude to your friend . john : well , then let 's just have some lunch together . i mean , we are three old residents of this lovely town . after all , we 're a disappearing breed . i 'm sure we can find something to talk about . kay : i do n't know how well you know john , but , uh , he has never spent much time reliving the past . now , all of a sudden , he is fascinated . charlotte : it comes with getting older , i guess . john : i 'm not talking about reliving anything , just simply remembering old friends that we had in common . kay : well , i do n't know , that seems rather unlikely since charlotte did n't know the ramseys that we knew . charlotte : you knew a charlotte ramsey ? kay : yes . i told john the sad story , and i do n't feel like telling it again . charlotte : well , my family was a happy bunch . i did get into some trouble when i was younger , but john already knows all about that , and , uh , i do n't feel much lilike talking about that . kay : well , seems like we 're running very low on topics for conversation . charlotte : it does indeed . john , i think i 'll be going . john : oh , charlotte , no , please stay . charlotte : i 'll just go back to where you found me and wait . charlotte : it was nice meeting you . ( knock on door ) jill : i 'm so sorry i 'm late . i had a meeting . frederick : no problem . just take a deep breath . jill : oh , you 're so good for me . i 'm glad you called . frederick : you 're welcome . jill : i 'm feeling barraged from all sides ... frederick : yeah , i hear you . jill : and i have been so worried about charlotte and her drinking . frederick : ooh , i take it the problem was n't so little after all . jill : she was at that bar of hers again last night . then this morning , she was in my office tossing back brandy before 9 a.m . frederick : really ? how 'd you handle that ? jill : well , i begged and i pleaded and then i talked tough . did everything i could think of to try to get through to her . frederick : did you ? jill : miracle of miracles , i think i did . frederick : really ? she 's gon na try and quit drinking , huh ? jill : i even got her to hand over that flask of hers . frederick : you 're amazing , you know that ? jill : well , i 'm not kidding myself , but it is a first step . frederick : well , yeah , but it 's a first step that you helped her with , just like i know you 're gon na be there and help her the rest of the way . jill : how do you always know exactly the right thing to say to me ? frederick : ah . jill : you know , um , this time that we share , it 's become very important to me . frederick : it 's important to me , too , but i 'm afraid it may have to end . j.t . : i really think you should talk to your mom about this . brittany : believe me , i will , but i want to know , what did she do when she saw my dad with jill ? did she confront him ? j.t . : no . brittany : i find that hard to believe . j.t . : well , she probably would have , but jill and your dad left right away . brittany : they did n't even see her there ? i ca n't believe what that must have been like for her . j.t . : well , she tried her best to keep it together , but ... brittany : what ? j.t . : she was pretty shaken up . i mean , she 'd just moved out of your house . she thought her marriage was over , and then , all of a sudden , she finds out her husband 's been ... i felt awful for her , but what was i supposed to do ? you know , all i could say was i 'm sorry , and that did n't feel like it was enough . brittany : i bet my dad got an earful when he got back to the office . she was probably waiting there for him . j.t . : actually , she was n't in the mood for a big fight . she wanted to go up to her room , so i walked her up there , and ... brittany : well , that was sweet of you . i 'm sure that meant a lot to her . j.t . : yeah , well , anyway , that 's all i can tell you . you just got ta hope that your parents can work this out . brittany : like that 'll happen . i always knew that my parents did n't have a fairy - tale marriage , but , you know , i really did n't need this kind of proof . raul : hey , maybe we should go home , sweetheart . brittany : no , i 'm okay . raul : i can knock off work a little early . it 's no big deal . brittany : listen , you do n't have to do that , raul . i 'm not gon na go back to theofoft and sit around and cry my eyes out . what good is that gon na do ? what was my dad thinking ? i mean , it 's bad enough that he cheats on my mom , but at the lodge ? that 's , like , her favorite place , and on top of that , it 's with jill . i mean , of a t the women in the world , why does it have to be billy 's mother ? raul : billy obviously does n't know about it . brittany : well , if he did find out about it , he 'd go ballistic , and he has every right to after ... billy : hey , guys . mac : what 's going on ? kay : well , was n't that interesting ? john : i 'm sorry , katherine . kay : as well you should be . what on earth were you thinking , john ? did n't you believe me when i told you that i was not at all interested in reliving that awful , awful time ? john : and if that was the charlotte ramsey you knew , i suppose it would have dug all of that up . kay : well , you suppose correctly . why did you do it ? john : ececause i thought that that charlotte ramsey you once knew might have been a friend of yours at one time , and it would give you an opportunity to rekindle the friendship . kay : that 's a lot of b.s . john : oh , katherine , i think charlotte 's a very interesting person . had we talked awhile , we could have talked about people , places , experiences we had in common . kay : oh , i disagree . i do n't mean to discriminate , but just one look at that woman , and i could see that we had absolutely nothing in common , nothing . john : oh , katherine . kay : she has n't aged veryelell at all . gina : so how are my two favorite people doing ? are you still waiting for number three ? kay : she 's been and gone , and i 'm fine . you know , actually , i , uh , i think i ate too much for breakfast , and i find myself with no appetite whatsoever . so , uh , thank you for inviting me to lunch , john , and the next time , if you 'd be so kind to give me a warning , possibly i could starve myself to death . gina : what ? gina : john , what was all that about ? john : i 'm not sure . jack : the only downside , as i see it , is if dad 's wrong . i mean , if he goes after this ramsey woman , and she has the credentials , jill 's gon na go after his throat . ashley : i know . it 's very sweet of him . he 's trying to protect her , as if she 'd evereturn the favor . jack : well , you know what ? it 's his life . he 's gon na do what he needs to do . ashley : you know , he 's got enough on his plate . he should be able to enjoy his golden years without this woman that he divorced years ago hanging around his neck like a rock . jack : do n't hold back , sis . say what you really feel . ashley : well , that 's how i really feel . thank you very much . jack : you know what i think ? i think this company 's about to head into some white - water rapids the next few weeks . ashley : exactly , which is why we need our key executives to be in a happy , productive and well - rested frame of mind , thank you . jack : if jill is gon na be swindled , both emotionally and financially , she 's gon na be a basket case . are you ready to volunteer to take on her workload if she 's licking her wounds on the side ? i 'm sure not . mary : so you wa m me to move to california with you and paul ? isabella : very much , yes . mary : do i really look that stupid ? isabella : mary , i 'm serious . i want you in our lives , especially ricky 's . mary : why ? he 'll have your parents and all your relatives . isabella : yes , but i was brought up in a culture where being surrounded by a large extended family was considered a wonderful thing . brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins , all part of each other 's lives , and no one more important than grandparents , and that 's the life i want for ricky . mary : why are you so nervous ? isabella : i 'm not . i 'm just on edge a little . everything 's been chaotic , the moving and the packing , and now you 're here filled with anger . mary : oh , come on , isabella , you can do better than that . isabella : what do you mean ? mary : is this some kind of trick , a way of stabbing me in the back just one more time ? isabella : no , i swear to you , this is not a trick , mary . i realized how much pain you 're in . you know , your son and your grandson moving so far away . mary : and overnight , you 've just suddenly turned into this very sensitive person ? i do n't buy it , isabella . isabella : why are you being so stubborn ? it 's not like our history has been all bad . mary : oh , it has n't ? isabella : no , if you recall , we were friends at one time . mary : until you showed your true colors . isabella : people can change , ca n't they ? mary : perhaps , but there 's usually a good reason for that change . so why do n't you just stop trying to con me , and let me know what you 're really up to ? paul : you 're sure about this ? there was never a threat to isabella from her ex - husband ? chris : it was all a hoax . paul : do you mind telling me how you found out about this ? chris : michael told me the night before we were supposed to get married . paul : oh , what , a sudden act of conscience ? chris : he said he could n't marry me carrying aunund this secret . yeah , i know , i know , it blew me away , too . paul : yeah , well , i still do n't think i 'm following this whole thing . chris : that 's because you have n't heard it all . paul : what , there 's more ? chris : why do you think isabella showed up at your office that day ? i 'll tell you why . michael knew you were planning to come see me . he hoped that she would provide enough of a distraction to keep you from making the trip , and it actually work . . repeat . officer down . shooter is not located . jill : frederick , what are you saying ? frederick : we ca n't keep seeing each other , spending time together . it 's just too dangerous , jill . jill : do n't tell me -- anita . frederick : yeah , she 's being totally unreasonable . jill : did you have another fight with her ? frederick : i could n't avoid telling brittany that her mother and i are separated . jill : oh . frederick : anita resented it , and she would n't promise th s she would n't go to brittany and tell her the reason why . jill : oh , as if we 're the reason , our fictitious affair . frederick : i know , i know , but she refuses to listen . jill : your wife is trying to hurt you . she wants a threat to hold over your head , and apparently , she 's succeeding . frederick : jill , i 'm sorry , but if we even give a hint that you and i are involved together , it 'll just give anita the ammunition that she needs . jill : i know , i know . this really floors me , though , because the truth is , anita could have gone to brittany days ago and told her about our supposed affair , and she did n't do that , which got me started thinking maybe she has a mature bone in her body . frederick : anita knows that telling brittany wo n't accomplish anything . she 's just being vindictive . > ilill : this is insane . we did n't do anything . frederick : i know that , and you know that , and anita even knows that , but when she 's through spewing out all of her poison to brittany -- jill : yeah , and brittany goes to billy -- frederick : i know , i know . jill : this ca n't be happening . i mean , my relationship with my son is very rocky right now . we 're barely speaking as it is because he 's so determined to go through with this idiotic wedding , oh , and then mackenzie , when she finds out , she 's gon na get up on her moral high horse and poison my son 's mind against me . frederick : look , maybe it wo n't be as bad as you think . jill : it will . it will be a disaster . i got ta do something . you know , i 've got to deal with this . frederick : jill , jill , panicking is n't gon na help anything . jill : no ? i 'll tell you what will help -- i 'm gon na go to anita . i 'm gon na tell her to keep her mouth shut . raul : well , you guys are sure in a good mood . mac : that 's because we are having one fantastic day . raul : why ? what 's going on ? mac : we booked a place for the wedding . raul : oh , you guys picked a church ? mac : no , we 're getting married at the colonnade room . raul : what happened to the whole `` staying out of debt `` thing ? billy : well , mac 's grandmother 's picking up the tab . mac : she insisted on helping out . billy : and that 's not all she did . show 'em . raul : whoa . get a load of that . j.t . : that is one big rock . mac : my grandpa reynolds gave it to my grandma when they got engaged . raul : it 's pretty impressive . hey , babe , you want to come take a look at this ? brittany : it 's beautiful . congratulations . billy : gee , britt , do n't overdo it on the enthusiasm . brittany : look , i do n't mean to be a drag , but i can not get excited about your big ring and your big wedding right now . i 'm having a terrible day . mac : i 'm sorry to hear that . billy : no need to take it out on us . brittany : if you had any clue what i 'm going through ... billy : what is it ? mac : if you tell us , maybe we can help . raul : hey , um , britt , maybe we should go in the back and talk . brittany : no , i 've got to get out of here . raul : all right , fine , then i 'll go with you . brittany : no , thanks . there 's something i have to do . jack : this is great , ash , just great . ashley : look at page four . john : oh , i 'm glad you 're both here . ashley : hey , sherlock holmes , how did your luncheon trap go ? did you catch yourilillain ? john : very funny . jack , listen -- jack : actually , ash already filled me in . did the two women recognize each other ? john : well , at first , i did n't think so . ashley : but then what ? john : well , here 's the thing . when i introduced katherine to charlotte , you could feel the intensity in the air , and they really looked at each other hard , and then they acted as if they 'd never met . ashley : acted as if ? john : yeah . on the way here , i went over this in my mind , and i am convinced that they knew each other , and well . good afternoon . i 'm andrea engel with a look at what 's coming up on global news at 5 : 30 ... the city of great falls montana says no apology is necessary . that 's even though the city of lethbridge wants to take out an ad , apologizing for the actions of alderman darlene heatherington . we 'll have the latest in the strange case . plus find out why health canada thinks these toys pose a risk to children .. that 's today on global news at 5 : 30 . paul : so baldwin set up everything , even that first meeting with isabella , is that what you 're telling me ? chris : she owed him a favor from a long time ago . paul : she owed him ... an arrangement . chris : paul , they had known each other for years . it was n't an accident . none of what happened was an accident . paul : are you absolutely sure ? chris : i 'm positive . paul : that bastard . chris : it was n't just michael . he did n't do this alone . that 's why i had to find you , paul . i felt you had to know . paul : so that 's just about everything . my whole life now , my marriage , my family , it 's a lie . the whole damn thing is a lie . chris : i 'm sorry . i am so sorry . i know what this is doing to you . isabella : i do n't blame you for being skeptical . mary : i 'd think that you 'd be jumping for joy at the chance to get rid of me . isabella : no , mary , i want to be friends again , and i promise you , my family will welcome you with open arms . mary : how can you even suggest such a thing after all that 's happened ? isabella : because i realize i have a chance to start over with a clean slate . mary : oh , in other words , now that you have everything you want , you can afford to throw me a few crumbs . isabella : and i realize you had valid reasons for objecting to my relationship with your son , reasons that started back that first summer . mary : well , if you 're talking about christine and paul , when they were having problems ... isabella : problems ? mary , their marriage was hanging by a thread . christine was in asia , paul was here . mary : but he was still a married man . isabella : technically , yes , and it 's true . i was n't totally honest with you about my feelings for paul . mary : no , no , you were n't you lied to my face , all the time , living under my roof , accepting my hospitality . now can you blame me for feeling betrayed ? isabella : you feel i took advantage of your son . mary : well , did n't you ? isabella : in a way , i suppose . mary : in a way ? because of you , paul lost any chance of making things right with christine , and now they 're divorced ... isabella : which goes against our faith , and i 'm sorry for that . mary : and now you want me to move in with you ? really , isabella . isabella : why is it so hard for you to believe that i 'm sincere ? mary : because you do n't have a sincere bone in your body . isabella : mary , i 've made mistakes , terrible ones , but for so long , i was terrified of losing paul because christine was still hovering around , reminding him of the past and what he lost . mary : i hope you do n't expect my sympathy , because if it were n't for you , the two of them would probably still be married . isabella : no , i 'm not asking for your sympathy , but what i am asking is for you to find it in your heart to give me a second chance . i have everything i 've ever wanted . i wanted to be a wife and a mother , and i 've never been happier , and now i want to do something for paul and ricky and even for myself . mary : what does that mean ? isabella : you 're a wise woman , mary , a good christian woman , and i want to know that you 're on my side rather than against me . mary : and you think that by asking me to move to california with you , that that 's gon na make everything all right , we 're just gon na suddenly hug and make up ? isabella : i 'm sure it 's gon na take some time , but if you let me , i will spend the rest of my life proving to you that i mean what i say . please , come with us to california . please , say yes . jack : i 'm still not sure i llllow . how do you know that katherine and jill 's birth mother actually know each other ? john : because , as i said , there was an intensity through their first encounter . now at first , oh , i thought it was just two ladies surprised because katherine did not know that i was going to bring anybody to lunch , and charlotte did not know that anybody would be there at the table when we arrived . i thought it could be that . ashley : well , it sounds like it could have been that , dad . john : but at the end , after charlotte left , katherine said something . first she said that they had nothing in common , and then , get this -- she said that charlotte had n't aged well . ashley : what ? john : yeah . why would she say something like that ? jack : could it have just been cattiness ? john : oh , jack . ashley : it does n't sound like that , though , jack . jack : well , listen , katherine 's also a very sharp lady . she would have to know that she 'd given herself away . john : yes , but the moment the words came out of her mouth , gina walked up talking to her and distracted her . i i do not think she realized the slip , or that i overheard it . jack : i do n't know . ash , what do you think ? ashley : i think she slipped . john : and it seems to me they knew each other , or at the very least , that katherine knew charlotte . jack : why would katherine pretend not to know this person ? john : well , think about it . the charlotte ramsey that she knew involved her in a horrible mess -- a pregnancy , a botched abortion , a near - fatal illness . it was a very intense time , and from katherine 's point of view , it was all the result of carelessness and stupidity . ashley : and just because katherine helped her at one time -- jack : does n't necessarily mean she has a soft spot in her heart for her . ashley : mm - hmm . if katherine pretended not to know her , then why would charlotte ramsey say , `` do n't you recognize me `` ? john : which is why i think it 's time for the next step . jack : and what is the next step , tell jill about this ? john : no , no , not yet , no , but i think it 's time that i took the step to find out as much as i can about this charlotte ramsey . billy : what the heck 's goinonon with brittany ? mac : i think i know . raul : you do ? mac : she feels awkward around me because of the whole maid of honor thing . j.t . : what 'd i miss ? billy : mac asked britt to be in the wedding party . j.t . : she turned you down ? mac : she seemed sorry about saying no , but said she couldn't . i do n't really understand it , but i 'm not gon na hold it against her . raul : listen , i talked to her this morning after you left . all right , she really did n't mean to offend you . trust me . there 's no hard feelings . billy : so why 'd she tear out of here just now ? j.t . : uh , you know , i just remembered , there 's something i need to do . can one of you stick around and cover for me ? mac : sure , i 'll stay . billy : yeah , i 'll hang , too . j.t . : all right , thanks . mac : well , we sure know how to clear a room . raul : no , it 's not you guys . billy : i get the feeling there 's something mac and i do n't know here . raul : uh , brittany got some news today , and it just -- it was kind of alolow to her . billy : is she okay ? mac : there was n't , like , a death in her family or -- raul : no , no , it 's nothing like that . it 's , um ... mac : if it 's too personal , you could tell us to mind our own business . raul : yeah , you know what , guys ? i swear , i really -- i ca n't say anything . billy : we understand , but when you talk to brittany , remind her that we 're all supposed to be friends here . she can trust us . raul : yeah , i 'll pass that along . mac : you 're really worried about her . raul : you know , mac , after this whole pregnancy scare thing , i just thought that everything was gon na calm down , our lives would get back to normal , but now something else has come up , and i 'm just afraid of what it 's gon na do to her . jill : no , do n't try to stop me , frederick . frederick : jill , wait , wait , wait , let 's just talk about this first . come on . you go charging out of here trying to confront anita , it 's just gon na make her more determined than ever to tell brittany . you know what she 'll do . she 'll just paint the two of us in the worst possible light . jill : we did nothing wrong . frederick : yeah , well , convince anita of that . jill : so what are you telling me -- there 's nothing we can do here , there 's no way we can fight this ? frederick : all we got to do right now is just calm down in case we have to do some damage control later . jill : without each other 's support . frederick : we 'll get through it . jill : h ? ? this is so unfair . frederick : well , there 's always the telephone , huh ? jill : it 's not the same . frederick : it wo n't be forever . r children to behappy and healthy , isabella : i know i 'm asking a lot , for you to set aside your bitterness and anger . mary : i do n't think i can . isabella : well , does n't `` the lord 's prayer `` tell us to `` forgive us our trespasses , as we forgive those who trespass against us `` ? mary : yes , but , uh -- isabella : and i know you live by those words . i mean , take christine , for example . she -- mary : what about her ? isabella : you had your reservations about the woman , how she wanted to put her career before family , she would n't give paul the child he wanted , and you two managed to put your differences aside , did n't you ? mary : it was n't easy . isabella : and maybethis wo n't be either , but , mary , i 'm willing to do everything in my power to make things right with us . mary : mm - hmm . isabella : please , just come with us to california . mary : you 're really that determined to change ? isabella : yes , i am , and -- ( doorbell rings ) lynne : i need to see you , isabella . isabella : now is not a really good time . mary : lynne ? lynne : mrs. williams , what are you doing here ? have you heard ? mary : about the offer that she 's making ? we were just discussing it . lynne : offer ? what offer ? mary : well , she wants me to move to california with paul . lynne : oh , isabella , you 're good . you really are , but you 're not gon na worm your way out of this . paul : this is like a bad dream . chris : your whole world has changed . paul : i feel so empty . you know , i feel cheated . chris : you have been . paul : god , chris , i sold my business , i 'm supposed to be out here looking for a house ... to start a new life with that woman who loves me so deeply . chris : isabella falling in love with you was never part of their plan . it was like an added bonus . paul : yeah , like ricky ? paul : so what about my little boy , my son ? you know , he did n't ask for any of this . chris : can you ever forgive me ? paul : forgive you ? chris : i felt you had to know , but ... it kills me to see you like this . paul : i had to know the truth , chris . you know , i thought i was building a life that meant something . i was willing to sacrifice everything . chris : yes , you were . paul : so what do i do now ? chris : i do n't know . i do n't have the answers . paul : i guess there 's no turning back . paul : it 's just a lot to sort out . i , uh ... chris : are you gon na be all right ? paul : yeah , i 'm gon na be fine . i 'll be fine . chris : i 'm gon na leave you alone . i 'm really , really sorry ... for both of us . paul : chris ! chris ! paul : do n't go . paul : please , do n't go . | christine finds paul on the beach and let 's him know she is n't married . she tells him what happened with michael and isabella . he is very upset and when christine starts to leave he asks her to stay . isabella is ready to make a phone call when mary arrives all ready to give it to her . isabella tells her that she wants her to move to california with them but mary does n't believe her . isabella says her mistakes are in the past and on and on but then the doorbell rings and there is lynne already to deliver them some news . brittany questions jt about what he and anita saw between jill and fred then billy and mac arrive . mac 's nice diamond and wedding plans do n't get much of a reaction from brittany . raul tries to stand up for her and jt heads out the door . ashley and jack talk business and john , and ashley does n't like to see him wasting so much time on jill . catherine and john confront charlotte at gina 's and the web continues to tangle . charlotte denies knowing about the confusing ramsey connection . catherine says that charlotte has not aged well . jill tells fred she looks forward to their time together and fred says it may have to end in order not to hurt brittany . he is afraid anita will blab which ticks off jill and she wants to tell anita to keep her mouth shut . fred stops her and they kiss just in time for brittany to see them . |
