scott : long night studying ? sharon : i put in an extra shift at the crisis hotline . scott : same day as chloe 's service ? woman , you are made of tough stuff . sharon : you know , for someone so young , to feel so alone in the world , like death was the only answer , i -- makes me remember how lucky i am that i have so many supportive people in my life . scott : yesterday got to me , too . watching kevin go through all that , it 's kind of got me looking at things a little different now . chloe : you 're just gon na take this address , you 're gon na meet me there , and you 're not going to say a word to anyone . [ door opens ] paul : well , sorry that took so long . i had to pull some strings . kevin : oh . [ chuckles ] and ? paul : uh , yes . your vacation request has been approved . kevin : ah ! awesome . i know it was short notice . paul : yeah , well , apparently you 're in tight with the chief . kevin : [ chuckles ] thanks . paul : you 're welcome . so , i gather that you and bella are headed to the airport ? kevin : uh , actually , i decided it would be best for bella to stay here with esther while i , uh ... figure things out . paul : you know , this time to yourself is really good for you right now . kevin : uh , hey , paul , there was one other reason i came by . chloe 's death -- has -- has there been any other word ? paul : you know that the medical examiner in louisiana ruled her death a suicide . kevin : uh , what about that doctor that she was staying with ? um , h - harris , i think it was ? [ cellphone rings ] dr. harris : chloe , go rest . i need to take this . we just walked in the door . victor : any trouble getting back ? dr. harris : all went as planned . victor : now that the world thinks chloe is dead , i want you to take very , very good care of her . dr . harris : chloe 's in excellent hands , mr . newman . i plan to devote myself to her treatment . ashley : if our mother is in trouble , what can we do to help her ? jack : let 's go back . let 's talk about graham and this theory of yours . ashley : well , obviously , he must be threatened by us . given our history with our mother , i 'm sure he never anticipated that we 'd actually have some kind of a connection with her . jack : neither did we . ashley : thank you . and now that he knows , he 's trying to do whatever he can to drag dina back to paris before we can get our hooks in her any deeper . jack : i have to admit , he does have an undue amount of ... influence . ashley : i think the world is `` control . `` jack : you think mother 's afraid of him ? ashley : i think we need to find out before they get on a plane . jack : so , which one of us talks to her ? ashley : well , you do , jack . i mean , you have a much better rapport than i do . jack : well , there 's a problem in getting her alone . he 's like a constant shadow with her , and now that they 're talking about leaving town ... ashley : mm . i think i have an idea . dina : i 'm really gon na miss this place . graham : yeah , it 's comfortable enough , i suppose . dina : i 'm not talking about the club . i 'm talking about genoa city . graham : yeah , the trip has been a success on many levels -- finalizing the sale , spending time with your family ... dina : it brought back so many memories . graham : and some difficult emotions . dina : well , that 's to be expected , but ... everything 's fine now . i 'm fine . graham : and now you 're leaving on a high note . surely , you can see that 's for the best . [ cellphone rings ] this is graham . ashley : hi . it 's ashley -- abbott . graham : good morning . what can i do for you ? ashley : the other night when my mother was here , she mentioned that she wanted a photo album that we have , and i found it in the attic , and i 'd like to get it to you before the two of you leave . graham : of course . in fact , i 'll ... come by and pick it up myself . ashley : are you sure it 's no trouble ? graham : none at all . i 'll be there shortly . ashley : thank you . bye - bye . jack : wow , did you have that guy pegged . last thing he wants is for us to get anywhere near dina again . ashley : exactly . so i 'll stall him , and you find out what 's going on from her , okay ? additional sponsorship provided by ... nikki : thank you for letting me use your club to practice . noah : yeah . my pleasure . although i was a little surprised i got the call . i mean [ chuckles ] the keyboard here is fine , works great , but , uh , not exactly the grand piano at the ranch . nikki : well , this is a very important concert , and i want to be as prepared as i can be . my playing is a little rusty . even tessa agrees with that , so i just -- i want to be able as comfortable onstage as i can be . noah : yeah , makes sense . well , hey , you are always welcome here , grandma . nikki : thank you . noah : i think it 's great that you 're working with tessa . i mean , she 's absolutely at home in front of a crowd . and listen , as soon as you get onstage and start cranking out that music , you 're gon na kill it . nikki : [ sighs ] well , thanks for your encouragement , but just the thought of playing in front of all those people 's is very ... intimidating . noah : well , we 're gon na be here cheering you on . all right , and it 's for a great cause . nikki : i know . [ doorbell buzzes ] noah : oh , there 's my package . i 'll see you in a bit . nikki : okay . [ slow - tempo music plays ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] okay . [ music resumes ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] damn it ! [ music resumes ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] oh ! tessa . tessa : hi . sorry i 'm late . nikki : no , no , y - you 're not late . i was early . let 's , uh , let 's get to work , shall we ? [ chuckles nervously ] kevin : will this doctor be charged with anything ? harboring a fugitive ? paul : well , i 've been in touch with the police chief in louisiana . kevin : and ? paul : well , dr . harris admitted that chloe came to him for help , and the police there were satisfied that he did not know that she was wanted for murder . harris was n't there when chloe took those pills . i think what we have here is a guy that was trying to do a good thing . kevin : so ... that 's it , then . paul : kevin , there 's no reason for the police to press charges . and there is really no reason for you to pursue this , either . it 's only gon na keep you from moving on . listen , chloe was safe and well taken care of the last few months of her life . i would hold on to that . kevin : i 'll try . paul : i wish you a wonderful , healing trip . i do . you take these two weeks to do whatever you need , to do for yourself . kevin : thank you , paul -- for everything . paul : you bet . be careful . kevin : i will . paul : if you need anything else , let me know . kevin : okay . all right . paul : and send me a postcard ! kevin : i 'll do my best to remember . paul : okay . kevin : see ya . paul : okay . dr. harris : i do n't anticipate any further issues , mr . newman . goodbye . chloe : i 'm tired , but [ sighs ] i could n't sleep . dr. harris : well , you may feel groggy for a day or two . the drugs i gave you were quite powerful . it was important that this look real . chloe : then no one 's coming to kill me ? dr. harris : of course not , chloe . where would you get such an outlandish idea ? chloe : i heard you say to victor that you were going to start using the `` nuclear option `` . dr. harris : yes , it -- it 's what we agreed to in the beginning . remember that if anyone came close to finding you , we would have to resort to extreme measures . chloe : it 's what he explained to me when he brought me here . dr. harris : all right , then you should understand why it 's necessary now that your friends have tracked you down . chloe : [ voice breaking ] i 'll lose everything . dr. harris : i 'm afraid it 's the only recourse . everyone you know must believe that you 're dead . chloe : it 's gon na be so hard on them . [ exhales sharply ] i guess in a way , it 'll be a relief . and -- and i ca n't go to prison , and ... i wo n't go back to that hospital . i wo n't go back . dr. harris : provided all goes smoothly , you wo n't have to . chloe : i need to hear victor promise me that . dr. harris : very well . [ cellphone rings ] victor : yes ? dr. harris : my guest wants to speak with you . chloe : victor . dr. harris just filled me in . victor : why are you calling me ? chloe : i need to hear you promise me . it 's what we discussed . this will only look real . i need to trust that you 'll keep your word . victor : i 'm a lot of things , but i 'm not a murderer , okay ? we 're merely staging your death . once you 're through this ordeal , you 'll go back to dr . harris , who will take very good care of you . he will protect you from the rest of the world . scott : you know how , every so often , you have one of those `` life 's too short `` kind of moments ? that was me yesterday . seeing kevin in tears and the love of his life gone forever . lifting up his daughter and holding her there so she could place a little stuffed toy on her mom 's casket . that 's when it hit me . i ca n't go on the way i have been . sharon : at newman , you mean . scott : yeah . i know what i owe victor , and i want to honor that debt . i 've tried , but i 'm a journalist , i 'm a writer . i ca n't keep pretending that i give a damn about business . i just do n't have it in me . [ sighs ] i think i 'm gon na give him my notice today . sharon : well , you 're an honorable person . i know that you did n't come to this decision lightly . you need to quit for your own sanity . scott : i appreciate that . sharon : however , i do n't imagine victor will be too happy . scott : yeah , probably not , but he 'll survive without me . sharon : so , any other plans for future career ? scott : you need a barista ? sharon : i think you 're a little overqualified . scott : i 'll have you know , i 've made coffee all over the world , in some pretty hectic conditions . i was in the desert , the jungle , war zones . i think that 's pretty good training for genoa city . sharon : it 's a little more tame over here . i think you 'd be bored . scott : why do n't you lean in closer and i might be able to show you why that will never happen . noah : [ groans ] man . scott : really ? noah : my timing sucks . sharon : [ chuckles ] scott : do n't they have coffee at the underground ? noah : they do . not as good as my mom 's . scott : geez . noah : to go , please . i need to get back . sharon : coming right up . noah : so , you 'll never guess who i 'm hanging out with today . sharon : who ? noah : grandma . she 's practicing for her concert , and tessa 's helping her out . sharon : oh , well , that was nice of you to offer to give them some space . tessa seems like a very ... special young lady . scott : your mom 's , uh , subtle way of asking if you guys are a `` thing `` . noah : uh , we have gotten to know each other a little better , and yeah -- i like her . i , uh , like looking out for her . sharon : that almost sounds protective . noah : [ sighs ] all right , look , an old boyfriend showed up in genoa city , and she had this huge reaction . and when i asked her about it , she was like , `` no . no big deal `` . sharon : but you think it was . noah : i mean , as soon as she sees the guy , she starts talking about wanting to leave town . and then devon offered her a contract to record with his new streaming company . and instead of being super excited , she 's acting all uncertain about it . scott : could be unrelated to the ex . sharon : or it could be the kind of trouble you do n't need anything to do with , noah . noah : [ taps table ] dina : jack . well , i thought we said goodbye last evening . jack : may i ? dina : well , of course , darling . jack : then it 's true ? you are leaving today ? dina : tonight . uh , but , yes . and i do n't want to wear out my welcome . jack : is that your decision or graham 's ? dina : this has always been our plan , jack . jack : that man works for you , not the other way around . dina : well , i do n't need reminding . jack : maybe you do . the other night when you came to dinner and we talked about business , you were the sharp , brilliant , decisive woman our father fell in love with . when you are around graham , you become a person i do n't even recognize . dina : please don't . we -- we had a lovely visit . jack : i thought so . we 've related in ways i never thought were possible . dina : well , i never dreamed that ashley and i could be civil and actually enjoy the evening together . and as far as abby goes , oh , i really hate leaving her . we were just getting to know one another . jack : then do n't go . you do n't have to . dina : yes , jack . i do . graham : it was thoughtful of you to go to the effort to find this . i 'm sure it 'll mean a lot to dina . ashley : i hope so . i made tea . i mean , if you 're not in a hurry . i think we got off on the wrong foot when i was asking you questions about my mother the other day . graham : you mean interrogating me , do n't you ? ashley : [ chuckles ] well , i guess i 'm trying to apologize , if you 'll let me . graham : i suppose i have time for one cup . ashley : okay . what would you like ? do you want , um , a little bit of milk or lemon ? graham : just a splash of milk is fine . ashley : okay . graham : and you need n't apologize . i can be overly wary at times and have a tendency to hover . i can see how that might cause a misunderstanding . ashley : well , you know what ? let me give you this . i think that my mother is very lucky to have somebody like you in her life . graham : on the contrary . i 'm the lucky one . dina is a very remarkable woman . ashley : i have to admit she is . even though we 've had this distance between us , i 've always respected her business acumen . i mean , she 's amassed a fortune . i ca n't help wonder as she 's getting older , i mean , she 's gon na leave behind an extraordinary estate . graham : do you think i 'm after her money ? ashley : are you ? sharon : what do you really know about this ex of tessa 's ? noah : nothing . she said that he was `` sort of `` an old boyfriend . scott : meaning they were n't serious . noah : according to her . the way she reacted , she was n't expecting him to come into town . scott : did tessa talk to this guy ? noah : i do n't know . i do n't know whether it was a bad breakup or what , but she 's obviously in no rush to run into him again . sharon : so she said . noah : i do n't think she 'd lie to me . sharon : you know , when you 're trying to get to know someone who you 're interested in , they need to open up and be honest about their past . you should n't have to wonder and speculate . you know , a lie of omission is still a lie . noah : you 're making me wish i had n't said anything . sharon : [ chuckles ] noah , you 're my son , and i love you , but you know that you have a long history of trying to rescue people . how many times have i seen you rush in and throw your heart on the line to help someone and you 're always the one that ends up getting hurt , and i just do n't want to see that happen again . [ slow - tempo music playing ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] tessa : no , no . you 've just about got it . just , uh , try it again ... a bit more relaxed this time . you seem a little uptight , and it 's gon na affect the way you attack the keys . nikki : okay , i 'll try . tessa : okay . [ inhales sharply ] nikki : [ clears throat ] [ music resumes ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] [ music resumes ] [ off - key notes play ] [ music stops ] [ sighs ] this -- this is just ridiculous . i - i -- why are we even bothering ? i - i - i 'm gon na look like a fool up there . tessa : i promise you won't . that 's why we 're here ... practicing . nikki : this concert is critical . the cream of society is gon na be out there deciding how wide to open up their checkbooks . and i 'm not gon na be very inspiring if -- if i keep messing up every other measure . i mean , they 're gon na think that my ms has flared up right before their eyes . tessa : hey , you can go looking for disaster if you want . i happen to believe you 'll be fantastic . nikki : i know that victor asked you to work with me , but it obviously is n't helping , and if want to give up right now , i completely understand . i wo n't hold it against you . tessa : what are you talking about ? i 'm not a quitter . and neither are you . you 're the most generous person i know . the least i can do is give you a few pointers . nikki : yeah , but they 're not going to work . do n't you see ? i am doomed to fail . this whole thing is set up to make me look bad ! tessa : why would anyone want to do that ? [ paper rips ] [ zipper closes ] kevin : okay . [ indistinct conversation ] victor : well , hello , kevin . kevin : chhha ! scare me to death , why do n't you ? victor : [ chuckles ] oh , i 'm sorry . i guess you did n't hear me approach , did you ? kevin : uh ... victor : so engrossed ? kevin : i 've just been -- i 've been a little shaky lately . victor : well , that 's understandable . by the way , that gives me an opportunity to offer my sincere condolences . kevin : thanks . i know how you feel -- um , how you felt about chloe , so if it 's all the same , i 'm gon na take that with a grain of salt . victor : well , now , for whatever it is worth , that gives me no satisfaction , all right ? going somewhere ? kevin : uh , yeah . taking a couple weeks ' vacation to decompress , figure out where my life goes from here . victor : good idea . where are you going ? kevin : tahiti . victor : oh . kevin : that 's where chloe and i were gon na go on our honeymoon . victor : is it a good idea to go somewhere alone now ? makes things worse . kevin : no , i 'm not gon na be alone . i -- victor : oh . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . kevin : oh , i - i 'm not gon na be alone . [ clears throat ] the place where i 'm going -- it 's a big tourist spot . there 's gon na be lots of people there . victor : tahiti 's a nice place , you know . i 've been there a few times . where are you staying ? kevin : huh ? oh , um , uh , michael and lauren made all the plans . it was their idea . i have n't even looked at the itinerary yet . victor : i see . kevin : yeah , yeah , since i got word about chloe , it 's just been ... just been trying to put one foot in front of the other . victor : i hope this trip will bring you some solace . kevin : thank you . whew . okay . nikki : i do n't know why i said that . i 'm sorry . tessa : it 's just nerves . do n't worry about it . nikki : look , i -- i did n't mean to put you in this position , but , uh , having lived at the ranch for a while , i 'm sure you have noticed that ... there is some tension between mr . newman and me . tessa : i mind my own business . force of habit . um ... if me living there is making things more difficult -- nikki : oh , no , no . no , that 's not why i said that at all . i mean , you 're not causing a problem . you 're very smart , and you can sense things and you 're nonjudgmental . i guess that 's why i can talk to you , because ... at one time , i was you . and i look at my life the way it is today , i ca n't even ... believe how i got here . i mean , being married to a man like victor , with such success and fame and notoriety . and after a while , your life just becomes maintaining an image , and you completely lose sight of who you really are . oh , god . i know how that must have sounded like i 'm complaining about this wonderful life that i 've been blessed with , but ... i 'm at a crossroads . i have never been so uncertain about my future as i am right now . graham : you think i want to isolate dina -- keep her from getting closer to the family . that way , she 'll leave me her millions without even a nickel left for the abbotts . that 's fairly diabolical of me , is n't it ? ashley : do n't you think it 'd be strange if i did n't at least entertain the scenario ? graham : when people see a man my age with dina , i 'm used to them making those kinds of assumptions . but i actually gave you more credit . despite your lingering resentments , i thought you knew your mother well enough to realize she 's not the type of woman that can be manipulated . ashley : okay , so you 're telling me that you 've never seen my mother 's will ? graham : i 've never asked to see dina 's estate plan , nor will i. i 'm not expecting any inheritance . ashley : okay , so when that unfortunate day comes when she does ... pass , you 're happy to walk away with nothing ? graham : this conversation 's taken a morbid turn . but to answer your question , i 'll be more than fine . i 'm being paid well for my services , and my background 's in finance . would you care to see my bank statements ? i can pull them up on my phone , if you 'd like . ashley : that wo n't be necessary . graham : now , frankly , i 'm appalled that your desire to be with dina centers around money and what you can get from her . ashley : i do n't need my mother 's money , and i did not bring this up because i care about getting an inheritance . graham : right . it 's because you care so much about her . jack : why do you keep talking about having to leave as if it 's not up to you ? dina : oh , since when do i do anything that is n't strictly my idea ? jack : tell me what 's going on , mother . the truth this time . i 'm worried . and , unlikely as it sounds , ashley 's even more upset . dina : well , you know , i -- i just think ashley ca n't see me with any other man except john . jack : ashley has her issues with you . she 's not denying that . but she 's concerned -- deeply concerned . so am i . dina : i -- i know , but we 've been through all that , and i - i 'm really -- i 'm doing fine . i 'm doing just fine . jack : you look fine , you seem fine , but every time you 're around graham ... dina : he 's protective . jack : is that all it is ? something seems off here . dina : jack , you 're overreacting . jack : am i really ? dina : yes . jack : so , you 're willing to accept one evening together , one dinner , a few short conversations , and that 's it ? that 's more than enough for you ? i would have accepted that a while ago , but we have become closer on this trip than ever before . i watched you relate to your daughters for the first time in years . i watched you bonding with your granddaughter . and that song ... dina : yeah . jack : when was the last time you sang that ? when i was a little boy ? i 'm amazed you remembered it . dina : of course i do . jack : i remembered it , too . dina : [ voice breaking ] oh , jack , please . jack : and all those memories came back -- the good and the bad . [ rattling ] i want you to stay . and i have the distinct feeling you want the same thing . dina : maybe i 'll be back one day . jack : why do you say it like that ? like it 's not your choice ? is graham forcing you to leave and not come back ? [ rattling ] mother , talk to me . talk to me . tell me what is going on ! graham : i know you do n't like me . or trust me . but you 've shown so little interest in your mother 's life up till now that this sudden concern on your part feels a bit ... lacking . you 've spent your whole life judging dina . you 've never been close . and now you 're shocked that she does n't care to spend more time with you and your family . it 's her choice , ashley . not mine . dina only wanted to stay a short while to see her children one more time . she 's the one who insists on leaving . ashley : what do you mean , `` one more time `` ? graham : just that i do n't expect we 'll be back any time soon . and no one knows what the future holds . have a pleasant day . noah : i get it . you made your point . and you do n't have to worry , all right ? tessa is not a project . she 's a beautiful , talented young woman who 's about to sign her first recording contract . and we 're not getting married . we 're dating . that 's it . scott : hear , hear . and on that note ... get it ? see what i did there ? musical note ? ahh . anyway , i got to go . got to get back to the office and see if victor can squeeze me into his calendar . sharon : all right , good luck . scott : oh , i 'll take any i can get . thank you . noah . noah : yeah , later , pal . scott : pleasure , man . sharon : [ chuckles ] noah : i like that dude . sharon : yeah , i like him , too . but this conversation is not over . noah : but it could be . sharon : mm . okay . it 's one thing to be attracted to tessa and to care about her , but you really do n't know anything about her . noah : is n't that the point of dating ? to get to know somebody better ? sharon : i 'm just saying take it slow , all right ? humor your mother . noah : i think that tessa 's been through some rough times . she does n't trust people , especially men . so that 's why i 'm not pushing anything . believe it or not , i actually have learned from my mistakes . sharon : you know , one day when you have kids of your own , you 're gon na realize no matter how much they 've grown , you still want to spare them any pain ... but you know that you can't . and you 're a grown man . so i guess all i will say is ... be careful ? tessa : if you want to pick a simpler piece , one you 'll feel more confident about -- nikki : no , i have to take a break . i 'll be back in a minute . [ cellphone rings ] victor : yes ? tessa : mr. newman , it 's tessa . is this a bad time ? victor : oh , not at all . how are things progressing with -- with nikki 's concert material ? tessa : that 's why i 'm calling . i 'm afraid she might not be able to make it through this . victor : now wait a minute , tessa . i think i made it clear to you that you 're here to help her get through this . tessa : i have to ask -- why is it so important that she do this in public ? victor : because of what this concert will mean to so many people . and she wo n't want to let them down . so you do n't let me down . is that clear ? tessa : okay , mr . newman . i get it . nikki : why were you talking to victor ? dina : the truth is ... you 're right . oh , i wish we could spend more time together . jack : you 're here now . the ice has been broken . you 're free from the business that was tying you down . this is our chance . why not go for it ? dina : jack , we make choices in life , and we have to accept the consequences . jack : no one is asking you to undo the past . dina : we 've had a wonderful visit , and i can settle with that . and i just hope for your sake , you can do the same . jack : i can see i 'm not gon na change your mind . dina : well , you know me . i 'm just too stubborn . jack : i really wish it did n't have to be this way . dina : goodbye , jack . goodbye .

victoria : well , i have a feeling it has something to do with the damon porter situation . neil : i take it he filled you in on all the gory details . here he is . victor : glad you 're all here . victoria : so what is this about ? neil : losing damon porter to jabot , i assume . phyllis : losing ? victor : we 've had a little setback . we need to regroup . phyllis : thanks to drucilla winters . victor : i just paid a visit at jabot , and i told them that what drucilla did was unethical and perhaps illegal . phyllis : that 's right . are we gon na haul their butts to court ? victor : we have to reconcile to the fact that from now on , satine will move forward without porter , okay ? i want you all to consider jabot cosmetics our enemy from this day forward . when the dust settles , only one of these cosmetic lines will survive , and as long as i 'm in charge here , we will survive come hell or high water . cassie : i 'm gon na go upstairs and read a book . noah : daddadad , where are you ?

noah : i passed , mommy . i 'm a first grader now . sharon : ( gasps ) oh , my goodness . look at that . i am so proud of you . wow , a first grader . phyllis : listen , victor , just telus what you want us to do . we 're all in this together . victor : as each of us knows , there are conflicts of interest involving almost every person in this room , conflicts of interest that may lead some of you to the temptation of easing up on the competition . neil : well , as far as drucilla 's concerned , what she did , i can assure you , i promise you , it 'll never haenen again . victor : it had better not , neil . now i include myself in this warning . as you know , my wife is working for jabot , and she happens to be victoria 's mother . victoria : well , mom and i rarely talk shop . phyllis : as long as we keep our personal and business lives separate , we 're fine . victor : and let me make one other thing very clear . from now on , there 'll be no more leaks , no more talking out of school . i do n't give a damn how innocuous it seems . if anyone in this room can not live with these rules , then please speak up now . victor : all right . i want you to understand something . victor : this is becoming personal with me . we will squeeze jabot until we hear them cry for mercy . we will bury them if it 's the last thing i do . dru : if something ever happened to you , and i did n't do something to prevent it , i 'd never hear the end of it . ashley : brad and i both know what the problem is . dru : well , tell me what it is because you nearly hit the deck . ashley : i have an issue . it 's just a little high blood pressure . dru : ashley , there is nothing little about high blood pressure . my sister nearly died of it . ashley : i know . i -- dru : remember ? she was out to there . the blood pressure shot up . we nearly lost nate -- ashley : i 've got it under control . dru : if you had it under control , you would n't be having these dizzy spells . ashley : i 'm fine . i just needed to sit down . dru : no , you need to slow down . ashley : dru , please . dru : you 're always saying how smart you are , how you 're running the show here . well , at the end of the day , you are acting stupid , and if anyone should know the difference -- ashley : you 're notelling me anything i do n't know , okay ? dru : i 'm sure the doctor is telling you , brad 's telling you , you need to get out of this pressure cooker . ashley : i get the message . dru : i 'm sure you hate me lecturing you , but contrary to popular belief , i do n't want anything bad to happen to you , ashley . that 's why it 's perfect that damon porter go in -- ashley : i am not gon na talk to you about damon porter right now . dru : why not ? ashley : do you see how upset this makes me ? if you honestly want to help , then just , please , shut up and stop lecturing me and stop threatening to tattle on me to my husband . dru : listen , listen , listen . i am not promising not to tell brad anything . ashley : damn it , drucilla . brad : tell brad what ?

cody : usual stuff -- movie , dinner , talked about our families . nick : she say anything about our dad ? cody : some . he wants to train you to take over the company . nick : yeah , which she is n't too happy about . cody : yeah , i got that impssssion . nick : i still do n't know what my father was thiing . cody : well , it sounds like an amazing opportunity . nick : well , that 's the way he packaged it , but see , the thing is , if my dad wants something , he just charges right ahead and does n't care how it affects everyone else . ( telephone rings ) cody : excuse me . crimson lights . cody speaking . jack : i thought i might find you here . nick : hey , jack . how 's it going ? jack : got a few minutes ? i 'd like to talk to you about something . nick : yeah . you want some coffee ? jack : no , no , no , i 'm fine . thanks . nick : sure . nick : so what 's on your mind ? jack : to tell you the truth , you . ashley : what are you doing here , honey ? brad : got your note . if i 'd have known that `` going out for a little while `` meant you were heading back here , i would have come after you a lot sooner . dru : it 's a good thing you got here when you did . ashley : that 's enough . brad : is that what it 's been like , you two going at each other ? i can see how upset you are , honey . all because dru here is n't satisfied with just being a royal pain in the neck . you have to deliberately goad my wife into jeopardizing her health ? dru : oh , just a minute . you have no idea what you 're talking about . brad : no , you wait a minute . i am sick of your total insensitivity . dru : you know what ? if it makes you feel better , run your mouth . brad : the only thing this makes me feel is angry . ashley : brad , brad , it was my idea to meet her here and have it out with her , which we 've done , and drucilla gets the picture , do n't you , dru ? michael : ooh , whiskey straight up . make it a double , please . michael : well , well , well , if is n't genoa city 's favorite tycoon . victor : baldwin . victor : why are n't you out fleecing some poor , unsuspecting husband ? michael : victor , victor , victor , please , surely you 're not holding any hard feelings regarding diane jenkins , huh ? victor : listen to me , baldwin . because of your legal finagling , i made diane jenkins a very wealthy woman . michael : oh , come now . what you lost on the divorce is just a drop in the bucket for a man like you . victor : you 're forgetting something though . michael : what 's that ? victor : i do n't like to lose . michael : hmm , neither do i . victor : from what i understand , you do n't lose very often , do you ? michael : no , not in court anyway . victor : you got personal problems , or what ? michael : yeah , massive personal problems , if you must know . ? ? ? ó7 hey `` the young and the restless `` will continue . 7 @ b , @ sharon : noah , sweetie , why do n't u u run upstairs and see how cassie 's doing for me , okay ? i want to talk to nikki . noah : sure . did you know i 'm a first grader now ? nikki : well , that 's great , honey . that 's wonderful . i know your daddy will be very proud . is he here ? noah : i do n't think so . just mommy . i 'll go check on cassie . sharon : okay . there you go . nikki : he is beautiful , is n't he ? sharon : he sure is . nikki : no thanks to you . so what 's going on here ? did nicholas actually leave you here for an unsupervised visit ? sharon : do you have a problem with that ? nikki : yeah , i do . i have a huge problem with that . sharon : well , i guess you better take that up with your son . nikki : do n't worry , i will . after everything you have put these kids through -- sharon : all right , here we go . self - righteous nikki about to run through the litany of my sins . nikki : you really do n't give a damn , do you , about the devastation you brought to those children ? sharon : yes , i do give a damn . that is why i came back , so i can try to fix some of that devastation . jack : i ran into your mother . she told me about your father 's offer . nick : of course she did . jack : i understand you turned him down . nick : you 're damn right i did . jack : you mind if i ask why ? nick : because i 'm not gon na be bought by anyone , and that includes my father . jack : are you really that certain that 's his only motivation ? nick : why else uld he be doing this now , especially now ? jack : what does that mean ? nick : it means i 've got some serious issues with the way he 's been running newman lately . jack : now you 're referring to satine ? nick : i 've been against that deal since day one . i made it very clear to him , and he did n't care . he went ahead with it anyway . he 's just doing this to get back at you . that 's what this is all about . jack : i 've had my suspicions along that line also . nick : so you tell me , why would i want to be mentored by somebody who 's willing to jeopardize his whole company because he 's hell - bent on revenge ? jack : nicholas , i do n't want to minimize what you 're feeling , but i have to ask . is it possible you are letting your anger cloud the issues ? nick : trust me when i say this . the further i stay away from my father right now , the better . jack : this is n't just about business , is it ? this is also about sharon . dru : yeah , i get the picture . brad : i do n't know what all has been going on here . you have been through the ringer , have n't you ? ashley : no , i 'm fine . brad : you do n't look fine . was ash this pale when you got here ? dru : are you talking to me ? you mean i can talk ? i really could n't say . brad : if you two are trying to hide something -- shley : no , it 's -- honey . what 's going on with damon porter ? has he signed a contract ? brad : no , not yet . he 's here , by the way . ashley : he 's here ? brad : yeah . back from atlanta , ready to go to work . ashley : on ... the strength of what , a verbal agreement ? brad : apparently . ashley : well , that 's good . that means i could still veto him . dru : what ? brad : be quiet , you . dru : i -- ashley : wait . look -- so where is he ? i want to speak with him . dru : perhaps now would be a good time to go home and get some rest instead of second - guessing jack . ashley : perhaps now would be a good time for you and your mouth to call it a day . unless , of course , you want me to call personnel again . dru : suit yourself , mrs . carlton . you take care . good care . brad : personnel ? ashley : yeah , you know , never mind . so where 's porter ? brad : dru 's right , you know , honey . ashley : i know , and i will . i want to go home , but first i want to talk to that man . where is he ? brad : down in the lab , checking things out . ashley : a bit premature , dot you think ? brad : i 'll have him sent up right away . i want this over with , honey . i want to get you back home , sitting on the couch with your feet up . damon : ms. abbott . i 'm damon porter , and what a pleasure it is to meet you at last . ashley : hi . thank you for getting here so quickly . damon : of course , of course . happy to be on board . i 've been an admirer of your work for quite some time . i was just down in the lab . ashley : yeah , i - i hea . damon : yeah , i was getting a look at the `` to - do `` list on your desk , trying to get a gauge for what 's highest priority , and -- ashley : excuse me a second . we 've never met , we 've never had one single conversation , and yet you were imymy lab looking through my very confidential and personal materials ? damon : i was , uh , hired to fill a position , and i was gearing up to do that . i realize it 's my first day , but i think -- ashley : yes , and it may be your last unless we get something straight . nikki : how dare you show your face here . how can you even look at your husband and your children after the way you abandoned them ? sharon : i am here to help my family . i think i owe them that much . nikki : you think that 's gon na help them , interfering in their lives again ? the best thing you can do for this family is stay away . sharon : you 're wrong . cassie and noah need me . nikki : for what , to be devastated again the next time you elel the need to escape ? sharon : no , i have learned from my mistakes . i will not be doing that again . nikki : oh , i see . so that just makes everything okay . that erases all the damage that you did . because of you , nicholas and his father are barely speaking , and because of you , my marriage to victor almost fell apart , and also because of you , your precious little girl ... sharon : go ahead . say it , nikki . my little girl almost died . nikki : that 's right . at least you admit it . so why do n't you ask yourself , sharon , what does she need you here for ? sharon : i think that she needs to come to terms with her feelings for me , whatever they are , and you saw how noah reacted to me . nikki : oh , please . noah is very young . sharon : well , he still deserves to be with his mother , even if his mother has made some terrible mistakes . nikki : you know , what you do n't seem to understand is that we were doingjust fine without you . the last thing we need is for you to worm your way back into this family and into my son 's life . sharon : you must think that nicholas is vulnerable to me . nikki : i will admit that , at one time , he loved y v very much , yes , but you threw that away , did n't you ? sharon : i never , never , stopped loving nicholas . i still love him now , in case you care , which i know that you don't . nikki : did you love him when you were having your little fling with the stable boy ? sharon : okay , you know what ? that was a terrible mistake . nikki : okay . so we 've got two big mistakes . now let 's see , what about coming on to my husband ? would that be considered a mistake , too ? sharon : let me just say that victor has always been the one person in this family who has treated me with respect and with dignity . nikki : and look what it cost him . he will probably never have a relationship with his son again . sharon : and that really -- it really breaks my heart , nikki , honestly . i swear that i will do whatever i possibly can to get those two back on track again . nikki : you listen to me . the best thing you can do , if you care at all about helping this situation , is to crawl back under the rock you came from . jack : nicholas , i know this is none of my business , but from what you 've told me , it sounds like you blame your father for sharon taking off the way she did . nick : i did . i still do . jack : do you want to talk about it ? nick : look , my father thinks that he can wave this carrot in front of my nose , and i 'm gon na forget everything he 's done . well , that 's not gon na happen . jack : this could n't possibly be just a father wanting to pass something on to his son ? nick : victor newman does n't have room in his life for a son . jack : oh , come on . you do n't mean that . nick : the hell i don't . it took me a long time to realize it , but i finally do . i would never and will never treat noah the way he has treated me . he 's held me back in so many ways . he does n't want me to be successful on my own , and i 'm sick of it . jack : and your turning down his offer is your way of sending him a message ? nick : trust me , jack , this is only the beginning . victor : so , baldwin , do these personal problems pertain to a woman ? michael : uh , unfortunately , i have reverted to type , and i 'm sitting here drowning my sorrows . victor : ah , do n't tell me that you were cut loose . you , this honest and upstanding gentleman . michael : whoever said honesty is the best policy with regards to females ought to be shot . victor : now , now , now , that 's a rather cynical attitude , do n't you think ? michael : i 'm a rather cynical man just now . victor : so tell me , are you and christine williams still law partners ? michael : seems so . victor : last time i think i saw you with her was at nikki and my wedding . michael : oh , yeah , yeah . i had the joy of witnessing those festivities firsthand . poor woman . some people never learn . look , you give my card to nikki just in case history repeats itself , and she sends you packing . victor : ( laughing ) victor : baldwin , you 're still the impertinent s.o.b . we all so fondly remember , are n't you ? michael : thank you , sir , for the compliment . victor : ( laughs ) michael : oh , by the way , your company 's in the news again . something about your daughter 's division in this bitter competition these days . a cosmetic line for women of color . victor : that 's right . except it wo n't be competition for long . we 're gon na wipe them off the map , that 's all . michael : now that sounds like the victor newman the world has come to love . victor : mm - hmm . icichael : so you 're competing with jabot , correct ? victor : you got that right . michael : hmm , and then it stands to reason that you will use any tactics to smash them , blow them to smithereens , crush them in a vice . victor : now , baldwin , you know very well that i do n't do business with kid gloves . do you have a problem with that ? you , who are the embodiment of ethics ? michael : honestly ? i 've always secretly admired the way you operate . victor : oh , yeah ? michael : yeah . victor : oh . michael : truth be told , i 've bent a few rules on occasion myself . victor : oh , i know you have . i only remember too well when you and jack abbott and brad carlton tried to steal my company out from under me . michael : yeah . good times . good times . damon : would you like to tell me what 's on your mind ? ashley : sure . you were hired without my being consulted . damon : well , i suspected as much . i guess i just assumed that -- ashley : what , that i 'd be on board once it was a fait accompli ? damon : it was kind of presented to me that way , too . ashley : you know , the way this whole thing was handled , let 's just say it did n't make me very happy ... damon : i 'm getting that . ashley : and i 'm not certain i can live with it , frankly . if that 's news to you , i 'm very sorry . damon : well , i 'm not used to being jerked around . when someone named abbott with a c.e.o . title tells me i 'm in , i -- ashley : jack severely overstepped when he hired you without talking to me first . damon : is he your brother ? ashley : yes . damon : then why would n't i assume he 'd be speaking for you ? or was this all nothing but one big snow job to keep me from signing with newman enterprises ? ashley : you know , let me get something very clear , okay ? whatever agreement you think you 've made , i 'm in charge of r & d here . so any conclusions you 've made about replacing me are highly speculative , and i would think you 'd know that as an r & d person yourself . damon : i can understand why you 'd be frustrated . however , i was given the impression that you were in need of someone to replace you and soon , and by the look of you , i -- ashley : no , no , please , let 's keep this discussion on you , mr . porter . damon : you know what ? the last thing i want is to be all up in the middle of somebody 's big old internal power struggle . i do n't need this . i thought y ' all needed me . if that 's a mistake , tell me now , and i 'm on a plane back to atlanta . just say the word , ms . abbott . you do n't want me here , i 'm gone . damon : fine . good luck with tuvia . no hard feelings . ashley : waia a second . i apologize . i did n't say we do n't want you . i just do n't know -- i 'm not sure -- i 'm not sure what role you 'll play . damon : well ... why do n't we discuss that ? sharon : well , i ca n't go along with you that the best thing i can do for my family is to just disappear again . i plan to stay right here . nikki : so you are really determined to be in genoa city . sharon : no , nikki , here in this house . nikki : what ? sharon : yeah , you misunderstood before . see , i 'm not just visiting now . i 'm staying here . i 've moved back in . nikki : oh , my god . i can not believe this . sharon : well , nicholas invited mlalast night . it 's what noah wants . nikki : what does cassie want ? sharon : as i said , she and i have some issues to resolve . nikki : unbelievable . you have actually gotten your hooks back into nicholas already . sharon : well , i am still his wife , nikki , and whatever happens , i am always going to be the mother of his children . you seem to forget that . nikki : how i wish i could . sharon : so let me give you a few new ususe rules . you do n't come and go on a whim , you knock before entering , and you come when invited . this is my home , nikki , not yours . nikki : and nicholas is your husband , and noah and cassie are your children . i get the picture . sharon : see , you 're either for us or you 're against us , and we really do n't need that kind of destructive force in our life right now . i 'm sure nicholas would agree . have i made myself clear ? nikki : crystal . ashley : please , sit down . look , mr . porter , i 've been the creative force behind jabot cosmetics . it 's been my vision that b been the vision behind all of our products , which is why i 'm highly uncomfortable when people who are n't in product development hire someone , anyone , no matter how fabulous their résumé may be . damon : thank you for the compliment . ashley : oh , please , we both know you 're very capable that 's not the issue . the issue is whether or not you can share my vision . can you work with me hand in glove without altering that vision to the point where it 's unacceptable to me ? damon : well , i 'm nobody 's yes man , ms . abbott . ashley : and i did not say you are . damon : i have ideas , i have opinions , and i 'm not afraid to hold forth with either . that 's one of the reasons i left satine . not everyone can handle the free flowing exchange of ideas , but to me , it 's the only thing it can be about in a creative environment . ashley : i do n't disagree with that . damon : and yet here you sit with a chip on your shoulder about whether or not i can share your vision . i , on the other hand , came in with the expectation i was about to get a `` welcome aboard . `` i have got ... zero invested here . i have a very pleasant life . i have no need to return to this realm . i 'm open to having this discussion with you because this is jabot and because you are ashley abbott . i have followed your achievements my entire career . it would be an honor to work here alongside you , but only if my contribution were , well , appreciated . otherwise , what 's the point of getting up in theororning ? do n't you agree , ms . abbott ? damon : now would that be my `` welcome aboard `` or `` do n't let the door hit you in the boo on the way out `` ? ashley : the former , mr . porter . welcome to jabot . damon : i thank you , ms . abbott . i look forward to our collaboration . ashley : as do i . it should be interesting , very interesting . michael : sometimes i envy you business tycoons . victor : do you ? michael : yeah 'cause in court there are limits to what an attorney can do , certain legalities that you can never get around . god knows , i try , but ... victor : i bet you do . michael : but the business world , that 's so deliciously cutthroat . like this battle with you and jabot . victor : what about it ? michael : oh , just envious , that 's all . two giants of industry going head - to- head , must get the adrenaline flowing . victor : it 's not a game , baldwin . michael : no , of course not , not with millions of dollars at stake , but that 's what makes it so appealing -- the risk , the danger , the feeling you 're walking a tightrope without a net . victor : you 're serious . you really miss this , do n't you ? michael : i was just a minor player when was at jabot , but when i got a taste of what your world was like , it made me wonder if i was in the right business . victor : you do n't mind using what some people would consider shady tactics , now would you ? i guess that 's why you 're a lawyer . michael : people are so rough on lawyers these days . victor : i wonder why . michael : but one hires one to win . you ca n't have it both ways . victor : mm - hmm . all right , baldwin , interesting chatting with you , but i 've got to get going . michael : i 'm sure our paths will cross again . victor : maybe sooner than you think . jack : wait , what does that mean ? nick : nothing . do n't worry about it . jack : nick , you said turning down your father 's offer was only the beginning . that had to mean something . nick : look , jack , right now my priority is my kids . once things settle down at home , then i 'm gon na deal with my father . i do n't know when , but i assure you , that day is coming . jack : do you know what you 're walking away from ? nick : yes , i do . jack : i have to wonr . r. the chance to run an international conglomerate like newman enterprises and all that goes with it ? nicholas , people work their whole lives to get opportunities like that . you 're thumbing your nose at it . nick : he 's not doing this because he has faith in me . he 's doing i to ease his n guilt . jack : nonetheless , he is handing you the keys to the kingdom . i hope you will think long and hard before you turn it down . this one opportunity could give you everything you want and more . nick : where you going with this ? jack : have you thought about what this could mean foyou ? nick : yes , i have . jack : no , have you really , really thought about it ? nicholas , my family 's company is also at stake here . a lot of people , including your mother , stand to lose a great deal . your father has promised he is gon na spend us into the ground . he 's said it . he 's gon na mop the floor with jabot . you would be in a position to do something about that , and maybe you could teach your old man a lesson at the same time . i think you understand me . [ next_on ] `` the young and the restless `` ... john : victor may have a case . jack : criminal case ? victor : i may just file suit against jabot . billy : mom , there 's something else you should know . jill : what ? billy : mac and i -- the wedding is tomorrow night . | dru is worried about ashley 's dizzy spells and gets on her case about it . ashley tells her to shut up ( hooray ! ) . in walks brad thinking dru is causing trouble . ashley sets him straight . then she meets damon and reads him the riot act , he offers to leave but she extends a welcome to jabot . cassie is not thrilled that sharon is moving back home but noah on the other hand is happy and accepts her attention . cassie is loud and clear about her distrust for sharon . then , nikki ( looking somewhat haggard and ratty haired , i might add ) shows up at nick 's and starts in on sharon . nick approves of cody 's dating victoria but before the conversation gets too intense jack shows up . he wants to know more about what is going on between nick and victor . over at newman , neil says dru wo n't mess up again and victor lays down the law and tells the gang he plans to bury jabot . later on , victor ends up sitting next to michael and they have a strange chat . |

austin : start talking . move . avery : all right . austin , i do n't believe you 're gon na shoot me . austin : did you believe the same thing about foreman after you got him off for murder ? avery : yes , i did . i already told you i was convinced he was innocent . austin : wow . some judge of character you are . avery : i 'm right about you . austin , you are not a killer . austin : i was n't until foreman gunned down my mother in cold blood and i found out you were to blame . chelsea : i have n't given up on you or your marriage . have n't i proven that already ? i mean , i got you jenna 's address . billy : which i am eternally grateful for . but i 'd be even more grateful if you came with me to see her . please ? chelsea : oh , save the charm for victoria . that does n't work on me . billy : okay , what will ? chelsea : oh , it 's not that easy . i ca n't just take off for the other side of the world . i have a baby to take care of . i have a job . billy : you 're only gon na be gone a few days . chelsea : i 'm -- i 'm sorry . billy , it 's just not good timing . i 'm supposed to go to california to see the forresters . billy : i have already arranged for the flight to stop in l.a. on our way to melbourne . oh , i , uh -- i checked your schedule with your assistant . chelsea : oh . remind me to thank her for that . billy : look , this is the perfect solution . okay , we have a layover in hollywood so you can work your magic with rick and caroline . and i can work on my tan at the pool . and then it 's off to the oz , where you 'll help me win victoria back . chelsea : you 've really thought this through , have n't you ? billy : i just think that if there 's any chance that stitch 's ex - wife can help me find out what he 's hiding , i need to do this , and it would be a hell of a lot easier if i could count on your mad con - artist skills . chelsea : what 's in it for me ? billy : actually , a lot . kelly : wow . i mean , that 's incredible . um , i know how hard it 's been for victoria to conceive . she and billy must be thrilled . stitch : [ sighs ] kelly : what 's the matter ? nothing 's wrong with the baby , is there ? stitch : no , it 's not like that . kelly : well , then what ? oh , my god ! stitch : okay , it has n't been determined one way or the other , but ... kelly : [ sighs ] stitch : ... i may be the baby 's dad . kelly : i ca n't bel -- [ chuckles ] okay . great . does billy know ? stitch : victoria 's been trying to keep a lid on it , but , uh , you know , until the paternity test , but news got out . kelly : [ chuckles ] of course it did . the truth always does . stitch : okay , look , if you 're gon na harp on me to come clean with victoria after what i just told you -- kelly : no , no , no . i 'm not . i understand why you would n't want to risk the pregnancy , and lord knows victoria does n't need to hear about the -- your past right now . but come on ! i mean , when the time comes -- if the baby is yours -- you 're not gon na be able to stay silent anymore . you 're gon na have to tell the truth , and not just to victoria , but to everyone . jack : so , you 're pulling out all the stops to keep this austin guy from leaving town ? summer : yeah , i tried , anyways . jack : well , you know , maybe he wo n't move that far away . you can still keep things going . where 's he from ? summer : um , i do n't know . jack : what do you mean you do n't know ? summer : i do n't know . we did n't talk about it . jack : what do you talk about ? summer : i do n't know -- movies , sports , you know , stuff like that . jack : you never talk about your family ? summer : yeah , we talk about our moms . it 's what connects us . yeah , but other than that , he does n't really volunteer a lot of information . jack : no one was any better at getting someone to talk than your mom . summer : yeah . jack : ever wonder how she 'd handle this ? summer : hmm . mom would want to storm over to austin 's house ... jack : [ chuckles ] summer : ... get right up in his face , and demand answers . jack : i can hear her right now . `` nobody keeps my kid in the dark and gets away with it ! `` summer : yeah , and then i 'd beg her to please , just let me handle it myself . jack : and eventually , she 'd relent . summer : yes , but then taking the backseat would drive her crazy . jack : 'cause she trusted you to stand up for yourself . summer : yeah . and then , in the end , she 'd tell me to follow my own instincts . that 's always what she did . jack : no matter how unpopular the choice may be . dylan : i ca n't believe i did n't see through his act . i was n't paying attention . paul : all right , dylan , did he ever threaten avery in any way ? dylan : no , he was smarter than that . he got her to drop her defenses and made his move when the time was right . kevin , what is taking so long ? kevin : look , i 'm working as fast as i can , but this guy travers was really good at covering his tracks . i ca n't find an address anywhere . paul : okay , what about avery 's cell phone ? do we have a hit on that yet ? kevin : still trying to locate the closest tower . courtney : avery 's producer has n't heard from austin since yesterday . dylan : does he know where austin lives ? courtney : all his paperwork just listed a p.o . box . all marcus knew about austin was that he had production experience and his references were good . he picked up all his paychecks in person . paul : did you get ahold of harding ? courtney : yeah , he 's on his way over from the crime lab . kevin : whoa , whoa . i got it . i got it . dylan : what ? kevin : 41 newkirk avenue . paul : dylan , do n't even think about it ! dylan : paul , i got to get to her ! i have to get to her ! paul : this is a police matter ! watch the door ! no one leaves . harding : all right , sloane 's filled me in . what 's the latest ? paul : okay , we got a location on travers . i want you to take two units and check it out . and have another two units on standby in case we can verify that he is , indeed , holding avery . dylan : `` in case `` ? paul : dylan , this could be a huge misunderstanding . kevin : or it could not be . i got his address off a state document -- a firearm registration . travers bought a gun on april 10th . dylan : that 's -- that 's the week before avery started her cooking show . austin planned this all along . austin : you can still save yourself . avery : so can you . let me go . i wo n't tell anybody about this . but if you continue to hold me at gunpoint , you 're facing serious charges . and if you -- if you pull the trigger , your life as you know it will be gone forever . austin : i 'll take my chances . avery : austin , is this what your mother would want -- for you to avenge her death by throwing away your whole life ? austin : what the hell do you know ? avery : i know that if she loved you , she would want what 's best for you . you want to honor your mother -- i know that -- but this is n't the way to do it . just put the gun away . do n't turn one tragedy into two . throw in a little bit of water to kind of bust it up . it makes it break into little separate rivulets . icu -- knocking over candy stripers , blowing by nuns . chelsea : all right . lay it out . what do i have to gain from going with you ? billy : only an all - expense - paid trip to the beautiful , sunny land down under . chelsea : um , i can pay for my own trip , and , also , it 's not sunny there right now . it 's winter . billy : what about , uh , all the exotic animals like kangaroos and koala bears , hmm ? chelsea : i could go to the genoa city zoo . billy : in the wild ? chelsea : i do n't want wild . billy : oh , do n't you ? i mean , come on , chelsea -- do you really want to spend another boring , lonely night in adam 's penthouse , looking down at everybody living their lives , when you could be living a life of your own ? chelsea : what makes you assume i 'm bored and -- and lonely ? billy : because people like us need excitement and adventure , or we go stir- crazy . i 'm giving you the opportunity to get your blood pumping again . chelsea : my blood is pumping just fine , thank you . billy : yeah , sure it is . chelsea : for your information , i am extremely happy and extremely satisfied with my life right now . billy : you know , i knew you were a good con artist , but you 're so good , you can con yourself . stitch : all we 're doing is speculating at this point . if the baby is mine , i will take the appropriate action at the appropriate time . kelly : when -- after victoria gives birth ? stitch : if that 's what 's necessary . the baby has got to be my first priority , and it better be yours , too . kelly : oh , i see . so , your past stays hidden for the sake of the baby . well , what 's so absurd , ben , but , you know , whatever gets you to sleep at night . stitch : you did say you 'd keep quiet about my history . kelly : yeah , and i will . stitch : unless jack asks you a direct question . kelly : no , i 'm sorry , but i 'm not gon na lie to him . stitch : wow . well , i guess i better hope that his curiosity does n't get the better of him . kelly : ben . i want you to understand something , okay ? this is not like the last time . when i told jenna what you 'd done , it was because i was so hurt and so angry about sam -- about losing him . so i - i did n't know what to do with those feelings . i - i did n't know where to -- where to turn , so i - i looked for a convenient target , and i lashed out at the person who took away someone else i loved very much . harding : officers in transit . paul : all right , put the tactical team on alert . kevin : i got a lock on avery 's cell . it 's the same tower as travers ' . paul : all right , notify all units to proceed . dylan , i want you to stay -- dylan ? ohh ! dylan ! [ sighs ] [ door slams ] paul : nice work . harding : [ sighs ] austin : you talk a good game , do n't you ? but that 's all it is for you lawyers -- a game . you use your tricks to get what you want . avery : no , i 'm not trying to trick you . austin : no ? you 're just gon na walk out that door and forget this ever happened ? avery : i will . you have my word . austin : yeah , and we know how much that 's worth . but you know what ? the way i see it , it 's okay . i win either way 'cause even if i 'm caught , some fancy defense attorney will , uh , snatch up my case . anything for a buck , right ? they 'll prove to the jury that i was acting out of grief and pain , and i 'll be off in no time , just like boz foreman . avery : listen to me . the legal system -- yes , it is flawed . it did not protect your mother , and that is tragic . but it 's also saved so many lives , and that 's why i do what i do -- so that justice can be done . austin : that 's all i 'm looking for , too . avery : but look how you 're going about it , austin . you 're standing there -- you 're pointing a gun at me . how does it make you any different than the man that took your mother 's life ? austin : look who 's talking -- his accomplice ! you helped him kill again . for that , you deserve to pay . chelsea : if you 're trying to recruit me , insulting me is a poor strategy . billy : insulting you ? no , `` con artist `` is the ultimate compliment in my book . chelsea : and you 're a pretty talented one yourself , so why do you need my help ? billy : because everything is on the line for me . okay , and with you in my corner , it could be the difference between getting victoria back or blowing it for good . i know you want this . i could see it in your face when i was planning it out . you know , the spark is back and the fire in your eyes . you need this . chelsea : no , i think you need this . it 's all about what will make you happy . billy : chelsea , do n't you get it ? i want you to be happy , too . kelly : i 'm so sorry . i hope i have n't kept you two waiting . jack : no , no , no . we got -- you gave us a chance to talk , right , kiddo ? summer : yeah . you know , well , i 'm gon na listen to what we talked about , and i 'm gon na do something , so please do n't kill me , but i 'm gon na take a rain check on dinner . jack : wait , wait , wait . you 're leaving ? summer : yeah . um , i 'm going to follow my instincts and be like mom . so ... bye . sorry , kelly . jack : [ sighs ] here , sit . kelly : let me guess -- is that her way of saying that she still does n't approve of us dating ? jack : no , that has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the fella we met in the park . kelly : austin . jack : austin has told her that he is leaving town , and she 's pretty distraught about that . kelly : and this worries you . jack : she 's fallen fast , and , frankly , she does n't know a damn thing about the guy . i just do n't want her to get her heart broken . kelly : well , it could work out . you never know . jack : yeah , i guess . i do n't know . i just have a weird feeling about this . many a time , phyllis trusted her instincts the same way summer 's doing now , and it did n't work out so well . austin : last chance to save yourself . are you ready for your close - up ? avery : wait . wait . wait . i have an idea -- a better way for you to avenge your mother 's death . austin : what are you gon na do ? bake me a pie ? avery : i will make sure that b -- boz foreman never gets parole . i will work the system any way that i have to -- austin : while the woman who got him out of prison walks around free ? no , no . that 's a bad idea . avery : wait ! wait . austin , you said that if i confessed , you would let me go , right ? austin : i 'm tired of all these questions . i 'm tired of all the -- [ gun cocks ] avery : austin . austin ! wait . wait ! wait ! austin : [ grunts ] avery : dylan ! [ both grunting ] avery : dylan , look out ! paul ! paul : drop the gun ! harding : oh ! drop the weapon ! paul : do as he says ! harding : drop the weapon ! paul : drop it now ! [ gunshot ] avery : no ! austin : [ grunts ] avery : dylan ! harding : stay on the ground ! stay on the ground ! dylan : i 'm okay . avery : oh , thank god . [ sighs ] courtney : chief ! avery : oh , my god . harding : officer down ! officer down ! we need assistance immediately . it 's -- it 's chief williams ! get him ! go get him ! courtney : 246 -- newkirk -- in pursuit of -- freeze , or i 'll fire ! [ gunshot ] paul : [ weakly ] travers . harding : i know . i got you , chief . i got you . shh . jack : everything looks so good . i am starving . you know , devon did a heck of a job revamping this menu . i 'm feeling -- i do n't know -- adventurous . let 's -- let 's try the lobster mac and cheese for starters , shall we ? we could always try the poison oak salad , though . kelly : oh , yeah , sure . whatever you want . jack : earth to kelly . come in . hello ? kelly : [ gasps ] oh . oh , i 'm -- i 'm so sorry . i 'm so sorry . i , uh -- [ chuckles ] i 'm back now . jack : where were you ? oh , please tell me this is not about summer . i swear -- her leaving had nothing to do with you . kelly : it 's okay . i know . i know . i was -- i was really just thinking about something i heard in the park earlier . i mean , [ sighs ] it must be on your mind , too . jack : give me a hint . kelly : victoria 's pregnancy . i mean , it 's -- it 's just gon na affect so many people . jack : wait -- vic -- victoria 's pregnant ? kelly : oh , my god . you did n't -- you did n't know . oh . i was sure billy must have -- jack : no , for once in my life , my brother actually kept his mouth shut . kelly : i -- i 'm -- i wish i had n't said anything . [ sighs ] well , it 's , uh -- it 's really incredible , though , i mean , is n't it ? from what i understand , um , victoria really was n't sure that she could even have another child . jack : they have been trying off and on for over a year . well , billy 's got to be ecstatic . kelly : i would say `` conflicted `` is a better word . jack : because of the separation ? kelly : because it may not be his child . jack : wait -- you said you heard this in the park ? kelly : that 's right . jack : from whom ? kelly : uh , ben rayburn . i just happened to run into him . jack : wait -- i do n't understand . kelly : understand what ? jack : i do n't understand how dr . rayburn could tell you about victoria 's pregnancy before my own brother told me . chelsea : i hate to break it to you , but you 're not exactly the best judge of what would make me happy . however , there might have been , like , a couple words in there that made sense . billy : oh , please , stop . i ca n't deal with all this praise . chelsea : i love connor more than anything , and i love my job , but i will admit that ... things have been a little ... billy : dull ? chelsea : claustrophobic . billy : mm . [ chuckles ] chelsea : maybe i could get away for a few days . billy : from memories of adam ? chelsea : who said anything about adam ? billy : you did n't have to . i know he 's this alluring presence ... for both of us . i mean , it 's hard to go anywhere in this town without , uh , associating it with him . oh , i ca n't tell you how many times i ran into him in this place . he 'd always give me these potshots , and after delia , he kept saying how sorry he was . kept telling me he had all these contacts out there looking for the guy who plowed into her . chelsea : i 'm sorry he lied to you -- to everyone . i 'm -- i 'm sorry he never took responsibility for what he did , but at the same time , i ... billy : i know . i get it . you loved him . well , actually , i do n't get it , but , uh , to each his own , i guess . chelsea : i 'm still so confused about all this . [ sighs ] i do n't know if i 'll ever ... resolve these feelings , you know , and i ca n't put them aside or forget about them because people are constantly pointing their finger at me and whispering about the rich widow who got the inheritance from the hit - and - run driver . adam 's shadow follows me wherever i go . billy : well , like you said , australia is all the way on the other side of the world . no shadows there . paul : sorry . harding : shh ! hold still . paul : messed up . harding : it 's all right . dylan : did he hurt you ? avery : no , i 'm fine . harding : give me something to stop the bleeding . dylan : here . i 'll get it . get that ambulance here . harding : 134 , 1199 . repeat -- officer down . 41 newkirk . we need an ambulance here now . we need an ambulance here now , guys ! requesting immediate assistance ! avery : hang in there , paul . paul : [ weakly ] travers . dylan : we 're gon na get him . avery : paul . dylan : paul . avery : paul ! dylan : hey , paul . avery : paul . dylan : hey , paul , hang in there . kelly : thank you . jack : well , yeah , you mentioned that you and stitch were once close . you also said you 'd had a falling - out . kelly : uh , that 's true . jack : so , how is it you had such a personal conversation ? kelly : well , like i said , we ran into each other in the park and just happened to get talking . jack : and he just happened to blurt out that victoria is pregnant ? kelly : well , he wanted to get it off his chest , i guess , and i was there . [ chuckles ] jack : i guess . kelly : can we forget i ever brought this up and get back to talking about us ? jack : yeah , i think that 's a great idea . kelly : fantastic . how are you ? how was your day ? jack : my day -- i had a couple of surprises , but all in all , it was pretty good . of course , the best part was looking forward to my dinner with a lovely lady . kelly : anyone i know ? jack : yeah , she 's about 5 ' 3 `` , blond hair , gorgeous blue eyes you could just fall into . lives on market street . kelly : oh , not anymore . i 'm all moved into my new apartment . jack : well , congratulations . kelly : mm , thank you very much . jack : well , you must be very excited . kelly : i am ... even though it 's always a little unnerving sleeping in a new place for the first time . jack : would it maybe be easier if someone was there to keep you company ? kelly : hmm . absolutely . anyone you know ? summer : hello ? is anyone here ? [ rattling ] summer : avery ? austin , is that you ? courtney : freeze ! police ! summer : okay , courtney , please do n't shoot -- it 's me ! courtney : summer ! are you alone ? summer : yes , i 'm alone . courtney : are you sure ? summer : yes , what are you doing ? courtney : i 'm clearing the scene . there 's someone we 're looking for , and we thought he might be here . summer : look , i just came by to see if austin had stopped -- courtney : wait -- austin ? summer : y - yeah , the guy i 've been telling you about . courtney : austin travers ? your aunt 's cameraman ? summer : yeah , how do you know that ? courtney : there 's an apb . out for him . summer : an apb . ? why ? courtney : he 's the one who 's been stalking avery . summer : what are you talking about ? courtney : the one sending all those threatening online messages -- it 's been austin the whole time . summer : okay , that 's impossible . he would n't have done that . courtney : he kidnapped your aunt . he even held her at gunpoint . he ended up shooting the chief of police . summer : wait . paul got shot ? courtney : yeah , he 's in the hospital , thanks to your boyfriend . summer : oh , my god . oh , my god . this is crazy . how 's my aunt ? w - where is she ? is she okay ? courtney : she 's fine . she 's fine . dylan got to austin before anything could happen , and then we got on the scene . summer : okay , then why are you still looking for him ? courtney : 'cause he got away . summer : are you kidding me ? you got him , and then you let him escape ? courtney : yeah , well , when paul got shot , i had to go after austin . i even had -- that 's not the point . austin left his phone here , and we recovered it , but he does n't know that , so i was hoping that maybe he 'd come back looking for it . summer : maybe he 'd already come and gone . courtney : maybe , but we do n't know that for sure , and until we do , it 's not safe for you to be here . you need to leave now . harding : no , they rushed him into surgery . doctors are n't saying . any sign of travers ? all right , just keep me posted , all right ? i 'm gon na stay here with the chief . kevin : harding . harding . what happened ? harding : you -- fish , put your hand on me again , you 're not getting it back . kevin : what happened ? harding : what happened ? what happened was we should n't have been there in the first place . we go chasing after maniac mcavoy . we got no backup , no vests . we may as well have been naked . kevin : and travers was waiting for you ? harding : we knocked down the door , and there was idiot number one wrestling with idiot number two . the gun goes off . i look over . chief has a hole in him . kevin : he 's gon na be all right , though . harding : he got it in the gut . i do n't -- i do n't know . it looked -- it looked bad . kevin : that man means so much to so many people . if it were n't for paul williams , i would be in jail or worse . he looked the other way when i needed him to . he gave me this job . he believed in me when nobody else would . people like him ca n't die . the rest of us would be lost . harding : everybody on the force has a story about how he stepped up for them . he 's had my back more than once . kevin : all right , well , now is our chance to have his back . harding : yeah , well , there 's not a lot we can do right now -- kevin : we can go after travers . harding : yeah , we 'll get him , but there 's more than one person to blame for this . dylan : stitch . stitch : hey . dylan : paul williams got shot . avery and i were there when it happened . stitch : i know . i was on duty when they brought him in . avery : how is he ? stitch : honestly , i did n't think he 'd make it off the stretcher , but we managed to stabilize him and get him into the o.r . i 'm headed in to assist right now . dylan : no , no , wait , wait . the guy who did this to paul kidnapped avery . she should get checked out . avery : no , i 'm fine . austin did n't even touch me . please , go -- go see to paul . stitch : i 'll get someone to examine her . avery : [ sighs ] dylan : no complaints , okay ? i just need to hear from a doctor that you 're all right . avery : i know you 're worried about me . dylan : anybody else . i could lose anybody else but you . avery : you 're not gon na lose me . dylan : i just -- i kept thinking of the things that i -- that i meant to say -- you know , things that i should have said to you , like how , you know , sometimes , in the middle of the night , i 'll wake up , and i 'm -- i 'm confused about where i am , and my heart is beating out of my chest . i do n't want to turn over because i know what i 'm gon na see on the other side . and then i hear you sigh in your sleep , and i can -- i can breathe again because i 'm home . you 're my home . avery : you 're my home , too . and when that gun went off , i could n't tell if you 'd been shot . dylan : i 'm right here . i 'm right here . i 'm not going anywhere . avery : neither am i . you saw to that . thank you for coming for me . dylan : i always will .

[ sniffles ] dylan : i know he was lying about his ability to walk . avery : yeah , that was what started it , but then it got worse , and -- and i threw him out . but then i was worried that he would come back , and i just -- i could n't -- i could n't stay there after his threat . dylan : his threat ? what threat ? avery : he said he was gon na tell the police that i pushed him off the balcony on purpose . dylan : but you did n't do it on purpose . avery : it 's his word against mine . dylan : well , i 'm sure you could explain what happened . avery : and what if a jury believes joe ? there 's plenty of evidence that i wanted him out of genoa city before the accident , and i was n't gon na sit in my apartment waiting to be arrested ! dylan : this does n't make any sense . avery : what does n't make any sense ? dylan : none of it . you 're not the kind of person who runs from something like this . you did n't run when you were targeted for your work at the innocence foundation or -- or after the cooking show when you got the online threats . avery : you 're right . but in both those cases , i was fighting an unknown person . maybe i should have been scared , but i was n't . not the way that joe scared me last night . marco : we 're still waiting for ashley to come out of surgery . stitch is observing . kyle : what ? in the or . ? billy : yeah , the surgeon okayed it . kyle : and where 's abby ? billy : uh , she 's in the chapel . summer : kyle and i have been praying for ashley ever since my mom told us the news . marco : any word on your aunt avery ? summer : uh , no , she 's still missing . i 'm really worried about her , jack , and so is my mom . marco : i know . i know . come here . abby : kyle . kyle : oh , abby . abby : thanks for coming . kyle : of course . are you okay ? billy : stitch . abby : is mom okay ? stitch : surgery went well . ashley 's in recovery . she 's gon na need to be monitored closely , but dr. akino has every reason to believe she 's gon na be fine . marco : hallelujah . kyle : that 's good of them to let you in there even though you 're not on staff anymore . stitch : yeah , doctor wanted what was best for her . i 'm just glad i got to be there for her . abby : me , too . jack : yes . marisa : so you 're just going to send marco off to a killer ? that 's not very honorable . captain : honor ? oh , i apologize , your majesty . honor . how did you think this was going to end , huh ? i 'm just sorry i wo n't have the opportunity to kill him myself . i will enjoy telling him what awaits . [ coughing ] paul : he went straight back to his hotel room ? did he talk to anyone ? okay , you stay on him . i want to know every move joe clark makes . phyllis : another explanation ? okay , what is it ? joe : you know , i have no idea , but there has to be one because i 'm not involved in any way . phyllis : what -- what is all this double talk ? could you tell the truth if you wanted to ? you know what ? stop . sharon : back off , phyllis . joe did n't do anything to avery . phyllis : well , is n't this rich ? it 's a meeting of the pathological liars club . sharon : he 's not lying . avery is n't missing . she 's with dylan at the coffeehouse . avery : joe is dangerous . dylan , i do n't have to remind you that he paid people to beat you up . dylan : did joe do that ? avery : it 's not the first time . when we were married ... dylan : he used to hit you ? avery , you never -- you never told me . i mean , all the time we were together , even back then when you were still married to the guy , how could i not know ? avery : it was only one time . dylan : one time ? one time too many ! avery : i was ashamed , okay ? i - i - i never think about it . [ sniffles ] and i blocked it from my head . even now , i do n't want to talk about it . but after last night , there is no telling what joe will do next . dylan : you do n't have to worry about that . i 'll keep you safe . avery : i know you mean that , dylan . but joe has gotten away with everything . he is clever . he knows how to not get caught . and you ca n't help me . not now . the only person that can help me is myself . dylan : avery -- avery : no , i know i said that i was n't thinking clearly before , but i - i am now , and the only choice that i have ... is to leave town . i need to say goodbye . abby : she looks really pretty , even like this . stitch : from every indication , she 's gon na make a full recovery . abby : really and truly ? stitch : yeah . as far as the doctors can tell . yeah . abby : [ sighs ] stitch : dr. akino seems confident . kyle : got to say , i 'm amazed at how fast this all happened . billy : yeah , me , too . i 'm just grateful they caught it in time and talked ashley into having the surgery . marco : when ashley wakes up , i have just the get - well gift lined up for her . kyle : what ? you gon na fly aunt traci in ? marco : actually , better than that . i have a plan for the company . billy : yeah ? what 's the -- summer : hey , um , i 'm sorry to interrupt . i just wanted to say how happy i am about the way things turned out for ashley . kyle : thanks . yeah , so are we . billy : she thinks a lot of you , summer . summer : it goes both ways . marco : well , when ashley comes to , i 'll make sure she knows you were asking about her . summer : thanks , jack . thanks . marco : gentlemen , it is time to overthrow the king , to get victor out of the picture , to take this company entirely for ourselves . kyle : yes ! billy : it is about damn time . summer : hey . victoria : what 's up with those three ? summer : oh , um , they 're celebrating ashley 's recovery . i think . victoria : you think ? summer : yeah , no , they stopped talking as soon as i walked over . i guess they 're too macho to let me see how relieved they are . victoria : yeah , i guess so . summer : you know , i 'm gon na call my mom and tell her about ashley and get an update on avery . victoria : okay . victor : still think i 'm wrong ? victoria : i 'm beginning to wonder , seeing jack with billy and kyle . i get the distinct impression that they 're up to something . victor : trust your instincts , okay ? captain : rookie ! i need your help ! there 's a fire here ! [ coughs ] ooh ! jack : thank you , mr. churchwell . marisa : [ gasps ] you set the hold on fire ? ! jack : it 's gon na take the crew awhile to put this out . we do n't have much time . marisa : much time for what ? jack : to get the hell off this boat ! go ! [ door closes ] [ next_on ] phyllis : pack up and get out before someone really messes up that pretty , little face of yours . lauren : i hate not being able to make eye contact with you over a harmless , little kiss . lily : you kissed my husband ? ! cane : you want me to sleep with your wife ? michael : i want my wife to be happy . | ashley is rushed into surgery to repair bleeding in her brain , but since it was caught in time , she is expected to make a full recovery . billy and victoria admit that they still care about each other and promise to talk about the situation later . victor and victoria suspect fake jack ( marco ) is planning to double cross them , and they are right , because fake jack tells billy and kyle that it is time to push victor out of the company . dylan and phyllis both think that joe is responsible for avery 's disappearance so paul questions joe who tells him that he and avery had an argument , and he decided to move out of her house . avery shows up at the coffeehouse where dylan comforts her and sharon sees them together . avery tells dylan about her argument with joe , and she says she must leave town because joe is being violent again just like when he hit her once when they were married . |
[ previously_on ] victor : i have a rare blood disease . nikki : oh , my god . victor : i do n't want you to talk to anyone about this . nick : you won . you beat me . you bought dark horse right out from underneath me , and it was very clever . but , see , right now -- right now 's the time when you realize it does n't change anything . you do n't have any more control over me . it 's not gon na affect what i do or what i say or how i choose to raise my son . phyllis : can anyone hear me ? ! help ! nick : hey . thanks for helping me get christian squared away this morning . summer : yeah . oh , my god . he 's gon na have the best day . i 'm actually tempted to go hang out with him and monique at the splash park instead of going to work . nick : no kidding . i would think jabot 's the place to be right now , with the collective and all the positive press it 's getting . summer : yeah . yeah . it 's great . i love it . nick : that almost sounded convincing . summer : it shows , huh ? nick : what 's going on ? what 's wrong ? talk to me . summer : well , mom is what 's wrong , dad . you will not believe what she did to me . nick : try me . summer : well , jack decided to have a bash at his place to celebrate , and -- i do n't know -- somehow she found out about it , and she came barreling in , creating a scene , blasting everybody , including me , about being disloyal right in front of theo and this social - media influencer that we were hoping to sign . i mean , dad , it was beyond cringe - y . nick : i 'm sorry . your mom 's out of control right now . you must be furious . summer : yeah , i am . i am . but right now i 'm ... more worried than i am mad . devon : this fruit tastes extra good this morning for some reason . ca n't tell why . [ chuckles ] you know , ana called while you were in the kitchen . elena : yeah ? devon : mm - hmm . elena : what did she say ? devon : she said that everything was going smooth . they landed in detroit ataround midnight , and jett was able to get a good night 's sleep , and he is very excited to start his comeback tour . elena : i am so happy for him . devon : me , too . elena : it has me thinking , though . devon : what ? elena : do you think that part of the reason why ana joined jett on tour was because she wanted to give us some alone time , like maybe she could sense that we were getting closer ? devon : i have n't said anything to her . have you ? elena : we kind of dance around the subject . devon : mm - hmm . elena : [ chuckles ] devon : she 's not stupid , so , i mean , i 'm -- i 'm sure she 's noticed the way i look at you ... or the way you blush when you 're around me , just like you 're doing right now . elena : [ laughing ] stop . you 're making me feel self - conscious . devon : i 'm sorry . i do n't mean to do that . we can change the subject . what , uh -- what do you have going on for the rest of the day ? elena : hmm . remember those interviews that i had lined up ? devon : yes , i do . elena : well , i have a meeting with the chief of staff at memorial . devon : nice . elena : yeah . he wants to meet at 11 : 00 to go over a job in hospital administration . devon : wow ! elena : mm - hmm . devon : you 're gon na get that job on the spot . elena : would n't that be something ? devon : [ chuckles ] you 're not still thinking about moving out , though , are you ? elena : not after you made such a convincing argument for me to stay . nate : you ready for your check - up ? victor : yep . i got some news for you first . nate : okay . victor : nikki is going to join us , and i told her about my diagnosis , all right ? nate : very nice to hear . i 'll gladly answer -- victor : well , that 's what i want to talk to you about . uh , do n't go into details . um ... nate : okay . i hope you 're not asking me to lie to your wife . victor : no , no , no , no . i 'm not asking you to do that . nate : thank you . victor : in fact , i want you to tell her everything about my condition , about the disease , but since we just started treatment , um ... i do n't want you to scare her with , you know , possibly a negative outcome . nate : so , in other words , you have n't been candid about your prognosis ? victor : let me explain something to you , doc . i do n't give a damn how long the odds against me are . i 'm a fighter . i 'll defeat them . but there 's no sense in upsetting my wife unnecessarily . clear ? nate : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] victor : come in ! nikki : oh ! victor : hi , sweetheart . nikki : hi . hell , nate . nate : nikki , how are you ? nikki : grateful that victor is in your care . i 'm reading everything i can on his pnh . seems like it might be hard to diagnose . nate : when a doctor hears hoofbeats , we 're trained to look for horses , not zebras . nikki : mm . nate : this is a zebra . nikki : well , it 's a good thing you found it as quickly as you did . i 'm hoping that that means the treatment is more likely to succeed . what do you think ? nate : [ sighs ] additional sponsorship devon : [ smooches ] well , i should probably go take a shower and get ready for my day . elena : need someone to help you scrub your back ? devon : yes . elena : oh . devon : i would love that . but then i do n't think we would ever leave the house . elena : mm , yeah . maybe we should n't risk it . devon : mm . elena : i do have that interview . and what would the chief of staff say if i did n't show up ? devon : well , i could write him a really nice note if you 'd like me to . elena : go . devon : yeah ? elena : i 'll clear the dishes . devon : okay . [ clears throat ] oh . the train left . [ chuckles ] elena : [ chuckles ] nikki : so , now that victor has begun treatment , what can we expect ? he does seem to be much more refreshed and relaxed than he has in a while . is it possible the treatment can work that fast , or am i just seeing what i want to see ? nate : well , it 's possible to notice an immediate effect . and if there is one , that tends to be a good sign . i 'll have a much clearer sense of things once the latest test results come back . nikki : when will that be ? nate : later this afternoon . victor : now , meanwhile , would you mind telling nikki to stop researching stuff on the internet ? nate : [ chuckles ] i can understand why nikki would want to get caught up quickly , given the fact that you 've been withholding information from her . but reading about worst - case scenarios can fuel anxiety , which would n't be helpful to either of you . nikki : so , are you saying i have nothing to worry about ? victor : no ! what the doctor is saying is that , you know , the statistics that you unearth on the internet -- i mean , they may be out of date , based on data and therapies that are long out of date . i mean , he 's administering cutting- edge therapy to me , you know ? it 's more than most patients get . nate : that 's right . that 's right . victor : thank you . nate : well , i will be back once i have more information for you , good or bad . victor : thank you , nate . nikki : yes , thank you so much . nate : i 'll keep in touch . victor : yep . nate : no worries . [ door opens , closes ] victor : so , does that reassure you a little ? nikki : um , yes , um ... kind of . it , uh ... really has convinced me that the kids need to know what 's going on . i mean , now is the time when everybody needs to pull together to support you . victor : yeah , but what i 'm afraid of is that the news of my disease is going to increase the animosity between adam and our other children . so ... i 'm not looking forward to that . but ... i 'm so happy that i have your love , my baby . nikki : oh , darling . victor : and you by my side , fighting this . nikki : of course . victor : okay ? nikki : i will be here for anything you need . summer : okay , wait . so , you were n't able to get ahold of her , either ? nick : not that i expect your mother to return any of my calls , but if she did hear my messages , she knows i 'm pissed . summer : well , i 'm surprised you felt the need to chew her out more after the fight you guys had at society . nick : since then , i have found out something else she has done . and , no , i 'm not gon na tell you what it is , but your mother has caused me a very serious problem , and i 'm just trying to figure out a way to solve it . summer : god . she just keeps digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole . it 's like she 's trying to alienate the last few people who care about her . nick : well , maybe she 's starting to cool off , you know -- realize her mistakes.-maybe she just went out of town to get her head straight . summer : i do n't know . you know , actually , i 'm gon na call that spa that she wanted to take me to a while back , see if she 's there or -- i do n't know -- someplace like it . nick : all right . keep me posted . just do n't forget , the one thing your mother 's extremely good at is taking care of herself . summer : yeah . thanks . nick : bye . adam : [ clears throat ] i have to say , i 'm disappointed . i ca n't imagine you have anything that i want . kevin : you 'd be surprised . adam : all right , then , kevin . surprise me . devon : would you like to go to the club later and meet me for lunch ... elena : yes . devon : ... so you can tell me how well your interview went ? elena : that sounds great . devon : good . [ cellphone chimes ] elena : is that me or you ? devon : i think that 's you . what 's wrong ? elena : i just got ... an e - mail congratulating me on paying off my student - loan debt . devon : well , congratulations , then . it sounds like we have another reason to celebrate today . elena : you did this . there 's no one else in my life who could have . devon : i mean , if you -- if you 're feeling that way , yeah , maybe i did [ chuckling ] do it . elena : you think this is funny ? devon : are you upset that i did it ? elena : how do you not see how big of a problem this is ? that 's a massive amount of money , devon . devon : s - sure , elena . i 've been trying to pay things forward in life , though . you know that . elena : uh - huh . and when exactly did you decide to do this ? devon : i 've been thinking about doing it for a while . elena : for a while ? devon : yeah . elena : you know what ? it does n't even matter when you did it or why you did it . you acted without consulting me . you meddled with my -- my personal and private affairs without my knowledge or consent ? devon : elena , just -- elena : no . you need to call up that loan company and undo this . devon : i ca n't undo it . elena : why ca n't you ? devon : because , like you said , it 's a lot of money . you ca n't just call the company and say , `` i want it back . `` it does n't work that way . elena : so , i have no say ? so , you get to go behind my back and take over my finances without even asking me how i feel about it ? what the hell is wrong with you ? devon : i saw it as a burden that was holding you back , and i thought that you would be happy or at least relieved that i did it . elena : there is no way that you cold have possibly thought that . and if you did , you do not know me at all . devon : well , can i explain to you why i did it ? elena : no , because i 'm too upset to talk about it . nick : so , my brother , adam -- he has recently given me cause for concern that he may try and approach christian when i 'm not around , so i want you to be extra vigilant but not in a way that makes christian feel , you know , nervous or upset . monique : i understand . nick : cool . uh , i 've hired a new bodyguard . his name 's pete , but i do n't want you to refer to him as that , all right ? he 's just the driver , pete , and he will take you wherever you want to go , but just keep me apprised of where you 're at at all times , okay ? monique : you can count on me , mr . newman . nick : i know i can . thanks . i really hope all these extra precautions are overkill , but where my brother is concerned ... i ca n't afford to take any chances . adam : i presume you want to make some kind of deal . it 's amazing how many people who once despised you are willing to do business if the price is right . kevin : oh , i still despise you . adam : mm . thanks for the clarification . let 's get down to it , shall we ? this place is quickly losing its charm . kevin : all right . adam : so , what 's on the table ? kevin : not `` what . `` who ? adam : oh , you have some connection you think might be of use to me ? you hardly seem like the kind of person who has friends in high places , especially in genoa city . you do n't live here . kevin : well , i 've been back long enough to see how and where you spend your time ... who 's important to you . adam : if that was a threat , then you 're thinking about going after someone i care about . kevin : did you think she stopped coming around because she suddenly lost interest ? adam : `` she `` ? kevin : your new girlfriend . phyllis . adam : you have phyllis ? victor : i 'm very happy that you invited me to brunch today . nikki : well , i 'm glad to hear you say that , since i did have an ulterior motive getting you away from the office . victor : oh , yeah ? nikki : how much better do you feel right now ... while you 're relaxed , spending time with somebody who loves you ? i mean , should n't that tell you that it 's much better for your health to be away from the tension and stress of work ? victor : i know , but , sweetheart , how often have i told you i love to work and i love to make deals ? nikki : i know . i know . victor : i do . nikki : but , at the very least , you should cut back -- i mean , way back . give the treatment a chance to work . victor : i 'll take it under advisement . nikki : no , no , no . you 're not gon na put me off that easily , victor . this is very important . this could be a matter of life and death . victor : [ breathes deeply ] summer : yeah , no . i 'm just reaching out to anyone who might have heard from my mom . and i know that she 's upset with you , too . i just figured that since you guys have been friends for so long that she would have reached out to you . yeah , no . i know . um , thank you . just , yeah , if she talks to you or you see her , just let her know that i want to -- i want to speak to her , okay ? okay . thanks , lauren . bye . jack : hey , you all right ? summer : yeah . yeah . i 've , uh , just been trying to get in touch with my mom , but she 's giving me the silent treatment , so ... jack : that 's kind of a relief , after a string of public tirades these last few days . okay , i 'm sorry . i can see you 're upset . summer : i 'm not upset , exactly . jack : it is n't like phyllis to be incommunicado , and i know you 're concerned . summer : no , i - i just do n't get her lately . you know , she 's been so weird and desperate . jack : well , maybe this period of radio silence is her acknowledging that . maybe she realizes her behavior 's been inappropriate and she 's kind of embarrassed to face you . summer : well , i do n't know . i do n't think so . i think it 's just as likely that she 's still livid with me . jack : you did the right thing coming to me . you were protecting jabot collective and all of your hard work there from your mother 's scheming . summer : no , i know . i know . i - i would do it again . i just do n't -- i do n't think i ought to rat her out to my dad . jack : wait . what happened there ? summer : ohh . he blew up at my mom , and then she got back at him somehow with something , apparently , and -- i do n't know -- the whole thing just keeps escalating . jack : summer , look at me . you are not to blame for any of this . if anyone is , it 's adam . kevin : give the man a cigar . adam : i really hope for your sake you 're bluffing . kevin : i heard you were a big - time poker player in vegas . you ought to know better . adam : well , in that case , you have screwed yourself . phyllis is n't my girlfriend . we did a little business together , and she was my plus - one at a family event i crashed . that 's as far as it went . so , if you abducted her looking for a big payoff , i do n't know what to tell you , kev . her company 's not in high demand these days . kevin : this is n't about money . but you know that . i 'm looking for an even trade -- phyllis for chloe . adam : chloe ? chloe ? this is very confusing . i 've been told by many , many people that she died . kevin : yeah . just like you did . adam : if , in fact , she faked her death to avoid going to prison , i 'd guess she 'd be hiding out with you and your kid . kevin : you did n't guess . you tracked her down and had her kidnapped . and now you 're gon na give her back to me . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : did n't think you 'd still be here . devon : yeah . well ... i was n't gon na leave without ... having a chance to explain things to you . elena : i 'm listening . devon : okay . to start , i did n't decide to help you because i have feelings for you . and you 're not obligated to keep dating me because i did what i did . elena : yeah . you 're right about that . devon : you know how i keep saying that i want to pay things forward in life ? do you know where i get that from ? elena : neil 's will . ana told me about the message he left for you . devon : yeah . it 's -- that 's -- that 's where it 's from . and in his message to me , um , in short ... he said that ... the best gift that you can ever give to another person is an opportunity in life . and i 've been on the other side of that because i had a very rough life before neil and his wife dru found me and adopted me . and then i had a grandmother who i never knew , but she accepted me , and then when she passed away , she left me all of her money , which set my life on a path that it would never have been on otherwise . and neil wants me to do that for other people , and i 've been doing it . before i helped you , i helped ana out . i helped jett . i helped my friend mariah . but way before neil passed away , i was paying for the school of this girl named shauna who hilary was mentoring . so , you know , people say that you ca n't buy happiness , but i do n't really agree with that because using what i have to give somebody an opportunity to do what they want to do with their life -- that makes me really happy , and that 's all i was trying to do with you , 'cause i know how much you can do with your medical career . elena : it 's not up to you to decide what i do with my life . devon : i - i 'm not trying to decide what you do with your life , but i thought by getting rid of your debt , it would let you be able to make whatever decision you wanted to make . i screwed up . i - i get that . and i really wish that i would have thought about it and thought about how it looked , 'cause it was n't me trying to control you or invade your privacy . that was the farthest thing from my mind . but i can see that you feel betrayed , and that makes me feel horrible . it was a gift . that 's all i wanted it to be , was a gift with no strings attached whatsoever , and if you 're that upset that you really want to leave and walk out of my life , you can do it , but i hope that you know that 's the last thing that i want you to do . elena : you know , i was upstairs , fuming ... packing my bags ... until it dawned on me ... i ca n't go anywhere because i do n't have a job yet . no income ... nowhere to go . this is exactly what i was talking about when i said i did n't want to be dependent on you ... or anyone . because you can do something like this that makes me feel so violated ... and patronized , and what can i do ? nothing . devon : i understand . i really do understand , and i really wish that i would have looked at things from your point of view , 'cause i promise you i would have done things very different . i am very , very sorry that i did this . i mean it . jack : still thinking about your mother ? summer : uh , no . adam , actually . you guys are friends , right ? jack : as hard as he makes it sometimes , yes . why ? summer : i mean , i do n't know . when he and mom walked in to society together , did you know that they had started hanging out ? jack : no . that was a surprise . summer : right ? jack : look , as much as i value my friendship with adam , i ca n't help but think he 's been a bad influence on your mother . i ca n't imagine it was her idea to disrupt victoria and billy 's event . summer : doubtful . jack : adam has an innate genius for knowing how to push people 's buttons . summer : mm . yeah . cosmic payback . seriously , after all those years of my mom telling me not to get involved with the wrong crowd and about peer pressure , now i 'm gon na have to give her that same lecture , assuming that i can even find her . [ groaning ] i do n't know . maybe i should ... talk to adam -- see if he 's seen her around . do you have his number handy ? adam : i did hire someone to find chloe , because a few weeks ago , she shot me ... as you 're no doubt aware . i wanted to make sure she was n't plotting her fourth attempt on my life . such a nasty habit she 's got . i could n't go to the police to help . they 'd never believe she was still alive . unfortunately , my search was unsuccessful . kevin : you 're lying . adam : my p.i . located the house you 've been staying with bella , but you had cleared out already . kevin : yeah . i moved them out as soon as i heard you were alive . we went into hiding , and now chloe 's disappeared , as you 're , no doubt , aware . adam : i am no happier about that than you are . i mean , i have to keep watching my back . kevin : i know she did n't leave us willingly . adam : where 's bella ? did you involve her in this sordid little crime spree ? kevin : i 'm gon na tell chloe 's kidnapper where our daughter is ? adam : okay , kevin . i think we 've wasted enough time together . [ clears throat ] kevin : you 're gon na give chloe back to me . adam : i do n't have her ... dude . and even if i did , that would mean i went through a lot of trouble and expense to get her . why would i let her go ? and do n't bother bringing up phyllis . i have no further use for the woman . do whatever you want with her . kevin : mm . your local fan club is going to be thrilled to hear you 're already committing crimes that can land you back in prison . adam : once again , you are not using the brains that god gave you . to even accuse me of kidnapping chloe , which i did n't do , you 'd have to admit she 's alive , that you 're harboring a fugitive , and that she 's guilty for attempted murder . again , i promise you the end result would be far worse for you two than for me . and then little bella would have to visit both her parents in the state pen . poor kid . that 's a tough break . [ cellphone chimes ] oh . someone who actually has something i want is ready to talk . good luck finding chloe . you two deserve each other . [ clears throat ] elena : i believe your heart was in the right place when you paid my loans off . devon : i appreciate you looking at it from my side . i just wish i would have done the same thing before i acted so impulsively . elena : so do i , 'cause i would have talked you out of it . then we would n't be in this situation now . [ sighs ] and if it 's true that you ca n't reverse the payment -- devon : i swear to you , i ca n't do it . elena : okay . then i 'll just have to figure something else out . the first thing i need to do is go to my interview and get the job so i can regain my financial independence . devon : yeah . i know that 's important to you . elena : and i 'm gon na negotiate a start date ... so that i can ... fly and join ana and jett on their tour . devon : why are you gon na do that ? elena : you just said i could walk out that door whenever i want . devon : i know i said that , but is that what you 're thinking of doing ? are you still planning to move ? elena : i do n't know yet . i just know that i need distance from this ... time to figure out if i can handle being in a relationship where the power differential is so extreme . devon : do you not think it 's a bit much , though ? 'cause you just said that you know that my intentions were good , and if you 're worried about what anybody else thinks , nobody has to know what i 've done for you . elena : okay , you 're -- you 're still not listening to me . you keep trying to explain this away or dismiss it . maybe you 're used to doing whatever you want and not getting any pushback . devon : no pushback ? have you met my sister before ? elena : ana 's on your payroll . i never wanted to be . and now , in some ways , i am , against my will . you put me in the most awkward situation , and you do n't get to tell me to just shut up about it . devon : no one 's trying to tell you to shut up about anything . i 've been trying to help you . that 's all i 've been trying to do , is help you , okay ? and if it makes me a bad guy trying to do that , i do n't know what more i can say . i really don't . i know i ca n't keep debating this with you 'cause i do have to get to work , but if you 're gon na take that trip , i hope you enjoy yourself , and i do hope i get to see you when you come back . summer : why wo n't you give me adam 's number ? i 'm just gon na ask him where mom is . i 'm not gon na let him mess with me . jack : that 's not the point . summer : okay . then what is the point ? jack : things are very tense between your father and adam right now . i think your father would like you to keep your distance from your uncle , and i 'm gon na respect that . i hate the way you are obsessing about your mother 's problems . you said earlier , you had joked , that you were parenting her ? the way i see it , there 's some truth to that , and i do n't think that 's right . summer : okay . well , i 'm -- i 'm it , jack . i 'm the only person that she can turn to anymore . jack : and what about you ? who do you have to turn to ? summer : i mean , i have dad ... and you . jack : you 've had some pretty impressive triumphs lately -- your work at jabot ... you saved lola 's life . summer : yeah . jack : you 've also had some pretty big disappointments . look , i know kyle 's father is n't the first person you want to talk to about the end of your marriage . summer : mm . yeah . i 'm -- i 'm dealing with it . and i think i 'm doing a ... pretty good job . jack : i think you are , too . i would n't argue with that at all . i just hate that you 're doing it without your mother 's support . i know phyllis , and she 's gon na look back on this time and regret that she was n't there for her daughter . summer : yeah , well , that 's all the more reason why i got to find her . adam : i hope this summons means you 've reconsidered yesterday 's decision . nick : i will not give up christian under any circumstances , even with dark horse on the line . adam : then what was the point in you bringing me over here ? nick : when 's the last time you talked to phyllis ? adam : she stopped by my place for a bit last night . why ? nick : well , i would really like to talk to her . i want to know how you convinced her to hack in to my corporate files . adam : i didn't . not that you 're paranoid or anything , nick . nick : well , she has n't returned my calls , or summer 's . she has n't posted anything on social media , and the last time anyone saw her , she was at your place waiting for you . adam : what are you saying , nick -- that i packed her off somewhere , told her to lay low till the heat was off ? nick : that 's the optimistic scenario . adam : hmm . you 've been watching too many true - crime shows . nick : really ? adam : i do n't know where phyllis is or what she 's doing , but it 's got nothing to do with me . nick : okay . if i find out differently , adam ... i will bring down a world of hurt on you . nikki : you wo n't even consider taking the afternoon off for me ? victor : sweetheart , i 'm just afraid that ... if i go home with you ... you wo n't let me leave again . nikki : well , would that be so awful ? victor : of course not , but i have so much to do here . you know , people are counting on me . nikki : well , i am counting on you , also , to be here a long , long time , so if that means that you need to take a rest after you 've had your treatments -- victor : i 'm fine , you know . i really feel fine . nikki : darling , you have taken leaves before -- recently , in fact . i mean , you left victoria in charge , and she did a magnificent job . victor : she did a damn good job . nikki : think about neil 's family and what they have had to endure . none of them , including neil , had any idea what was coming . but you , on the other hand , know exactly what you 're facing . darling , you owe it to your family to give this fight your full attention . victor : i take it under consideration . come here . nikki : all right . thank you . elena : [ sighs ] nate : elena . elena : hey , neighbor . nate : how are you today ? elena : i 'm ... good . how are you ? nate : overbooked . elena : just how you like it ? nate : [ chuckles ] i 'm just finishing up a house call . now off to the hospital . elena : oh . so am i , as it turns out . i have an interview with the chief of staff . nate : oh , russell davies ? elenaah . nate : i know him well . i think i 'm on his good side . elena : i bet you are . nate : hey , if you like , i 'd be more than happy to put in a good word for you . elena : that would be great . thank you . nate : after you . elena : thanks . summer : mom ? devon : hello ? ! hello , hello ! there 's nobody here . summer : thank you for letting me check . i know i must seem paranoid . my mom has n't been out of touch for that long . devon : yeah . no . i - i want to make sure that she 's okay , too . summer : thank you . i appreciate that . devon : i talked to housekeeping , and they said the bed has n't been slept in , so is there a chance that she stayed somewhere else last night , or ... ? summer : um ... you know what ? can i just take a look around , see if i can find a clue as to where she went -- a spa brochure ? devon : yeah , of course . please , please , take your time . summer : thank you . okay . devon : hmm ? summer : my mom 's makeup is still here and her creams and her serums and her toothbrush , and her suitcase is still here and ... devon : really ? summer : ... all of her clothes are here and there 's no empty hangers . devon : is there a chance that she crashed at a friend 's place ? summer : no . i called all of her friends , which is a pretty short list , and no one has seen or heard from her , so ... wait . hold on . wait . okay , these are my mom 's keys . no matter where she went , she would have never left without these . [ cellphone rings ] nick : hey , supergirl . what 's up ? summer : hey , dad . um , i 'm at mom 's room at the club , and something definitely has happened to her . adam : hey . it 's me . there 's been a change of plans . because kevin fisher is an idiot . that 's why . | at nick 's place summer fills him in on phyllis arriving with adam at society . summer is worried she can not reach her mother . nick wo n't give her details but tells summer that phyllis has made some huge problems for him . meanwhile adam receives an anonymous text that says i have something you want ' . adam agrees to meet . at devon 's , he and elena share a breakfast when elena tells him of her interview for that morning with the chief of staff at memorial . shortly after elena receives a text that her student loan has been paid off . elena realizes it was devon and is furious that he meddled in her life , but devon insists he was paying it forward as neil had asked . elena insists she feels violated and patronized . devon apologizes profusely and they hug . elena goes off to her interview . meanwhile nate arrives at victor 's office , where victor informs him that nikki will be joining them for his treatment . nate is happy he told nikki but victor corrects him and tells him nikki is not to know the full extend of his illness . |

is there anybody that we could call ? jack : that 's the whole thing . we 're just getting to know each other . i have a grown daughter . i know nothing about her life . kelly : jack , do n't feel too bad . i mean , there are parents who 've raised their kids since birth who feel the same way . jack : i wish i had a relationship with her where she could trust me , open up to me . that 's why she has n't picked up the phone -- at least , i hope so . the other possibility frightens the hell out of me . kelly : what , you 're afraid that she 's with austin ? jack : this guy was dangerous before . now he 's desperate . if summer is n't picking up , it 's very possible she is with him , and if she is , she could be in danger and not even know it . kelly : and you feel responsible ? jack : yes , i feel responsible ! i 'm her father ! i 'm supposed to protect her -- at least teach her to be a better judge of character . kelly : and when were you supposed to do that ? you 've had very little time with her . even under the best of circumstances , teenage girls do n't really share intimate details of their life with their father . jack : i can think of one person who knows her habits a hell of a lot better than i do .

you may not have abducted my sister , but that does not make you innocent , not by a long shot . we will not forget about your lies and your dirty dealings and your all - around sliminess . if you had a brain , you would pack up and you would get out before someone really messes up that pretty little face of yours . sharon : sometimes i just do n't understand that woman . joe : phyllis , i understand . it 's you that i do n't . sharon : me ? why ? what did i do ? joe : nothing . that 's the problem . you just snuck out of crimson lights like a little mouse and did n't feel like fighting avery for your man ? sharon : i trust dylan . i think he just needed some time alone with avery . joe : you 're really that naive ?

michael : are you happy , cane ? do you smile when she 's around ? do you feel that life 's better when you 're together ? cane : we are fine . we are trying to work things out . michael : yeah . i used to think that was possible , but once things go wrong , boom . cane : okay , all right . do n't impose your way of thinking on me . do you understand what i 'm saying to you ? just 'cause your marriage is having problems that you do n't want to fix and you want to trash it , fine . do n't think i 'm gon na do it to mine . michael : [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] joe : the two of them are probably planning their future together right now , ways for dylan to dump you . sharon : i do n't believe that . joe : well , in your heart , you do . i 'll tell you what . the two of us could send them a hell of a message . sharon : but that 's the way you think . that 's not the way i think . i do n't want any part of it . joe : coming from the woman who lit a torch to the newman ranch . that was you , was n't it ? sharon : i do n't know what you 're talking about . joe : of course not . but in your heart , you do , and you know you need to stake your claim . sharon : even if i do have a little bit of insecurity , i - i 'm not gon na let it control me . when i 've done that in the past , it 's never worked out . in fact , it 's been a complete disaster . joe : well , do n't say i did n't warn you . sharon : well , now that you have , i 'm gon na go home . dylan 's going to be there waiting for me . joe : we 'll see . phyllis : oh , my god . you 're okay . you okay ? really ? avery : yes , yes . except for my finger and a few bruises , i 'm fine . dylan : no , she 's not fine . joe 's got her spooked . avery : [ sighs ] phyllis : no wonder . look at you . he 's gon na answer to me for these . he seemed a little offended when i slapped him . avery : you slapped joe ? phyllis : yes , i did . that smug look on his face when sharon told me that you were alive and okay . yes . dylan : that 's how you found out ? i did n't realize she saw us . was she okay ? phyllis : you know , honestly , i did n't notice . i just -- i had you on my mind , and i came here as soon as i got the news . avery : thank you . that means a lot to me . dylan : it means a lot , but not enough . phyllis : what 's he talking about ? avery : i - i decided that coming home might not have been such a good idea . dylan : she was just about to skip town again . phyllis : what ? you were gon na leave me and your niece without even saying goodbye ? lily : hey . cane : hey . lily : here you are . was n't sure you were coming by . cane : why would n't i ? lily : i thought you might be working late with lauren . cane : no , i have n't heard from her in hours . lily : oh , well , you missed all the excitement here . cane : yeah ? what happened ? lily : there was this wife . she caught her husband checking in with another woman . then she practically ripped their eyes out . but can you really blame her ? and i was just thinking how happy i am that i have a husband that i can completely trust and that we do n't have secrets from each other . right , honey ? cane : michael told you ? lily : no , the tramp he 's married to did . how could you do this ? cane : it was a mistake and it meant absolutely nothing . lily : people do n't kiss for nothing . cane : lily , it was a mistake . lily : i do n't want to hear any excuses . i already heard them all from lauren . cane : i 'm not giving you excuses , okay ? you want me to share things with you and tell you the truth . i 'm telling you the truth right now . lauren is no threat to our marriage whatsoever . lily : you know what i ca n't stand is that you made me feel stupid for thinking that you had feelings for her . and then you turn around and you kiss her and you cover it up afterwards just to hide your own guilt . cane : i 'm trying to talk to you , okay , and you do n't want to listen . and you wonder -- you wonder why i do n't share things with you . it 's because of the way you 're reacting , the way you 're reacting to me right now . lily : do not even go there . you are lying to yourself . you and i both know there was nothing innocent about this . cane : lily , lily , lily ... lauren : oh . there you are . i just went by the boutique , and i 've got great news . [ sighs ] you talked to lily . cane : why did you tell her about the kiss ? phyllis : i knew it was too good to be true . you and i were never meant to be sisters . dylan : phyllis , this has nothing to do with you . phyllis : obviously . you never gave me a second thought . or poor summer who worried sick that someone else she loved might have been killed . avery : okay , i did n't think it through . i 'll call her . phyllis : no , you know what ? i already did . and i will tell her you 're gon na leave her anyway . is -- is this my punishment for leaving you all those years ago ? avery : no , no ! i just need to get away . phyllis : you know , that 's what cowards do . avery bailey clark , great liberator , ca n't even free herself from a man without slinking off into the night . you want to slink away , you go ahead . you see if i care . avery : phyllis , wait . dylan : you can fix it . you have the power . unless you let joe take it away from you . avery : so , how do we bring joe down ? [ crying ] joe : oh , is n't this a nice , little , cozy reunion . mind if i join ? dylan : not unless you want to spend the next few years in prison . you crossed a line . and we 're gon na make sure you do n't come anywhere near avery again . joe : i crossed a line ? i was the one who was assaulted , falsely accused of murder , which , by the way , did n't even happen . avery : you threatened me . you got violent with me . joe : is that what you told him ? dylan : she told me how you hit her when you were married . joe : if that was true , then why did she seduce me last night , dylan ? avery : wh -- joe : the wine , the music , that sexy blouse that hugs her in all the right places . she mention how she unbuttoned it , ripped my shirt off , and threw me on the couch ? avery : i was mocking you . i was toying with you the way you toy with me . joe : she could n't keep her hands off me , dylan . i was the one who stopped it . and if i did n't , we would have done it right there and then . avery : oh , my god . joe : and it would have been so , so good . howard : officer howard , gcpd . is there a problem here ? dylan : i see what 's going on . joe 's putting on a show for gc 's finest . nice try . you have no cause to file charges . joe : not against you . officer , arrest this woman . avery : [ sighs ] i can just hear what joe 's telling paul in there . dylan : whatever it is , we 'll fight it and we 'll beat it . avery : i hope you 're speaking figuratively . dylan : he tried to provoke me this time , and i held back , did n't i ? avery : and what about next time ? [ door opens ] paul : all right . dylan : i hope you did n't listen to a word this guy said . avery : he has a tendency to misrepresent , like , the way he 's milking the use of this cane he does n't need . joe : now , you see that ? i told you she 'd say that . try to downplay this whole thing so she does n't have to answer to her crime . avery : you know damn well i did n't deliberately push you off that balcony . he would n't stop kissing me . i shoved him . it was a defensive move , an accident . paul : you know , this is really sounding like a case of `` he said , she said `` to me . joe : yeah , well , what she said is wrong . dylan : where 's your proof ? paul : you have an answer for that ? joe : that 's your job to find the evidence . unless , of course , you want to ignore your responsibilities as an officer of the law to protect your son and his ex - fiancée . phyllis : you know , i thought you of all people would be on my side , but no . you kept me in the dark just like she did . michael : who 's she ? what are you talking about ? phyllis : you know perfectly well who i 'm talking about . michael : well , pretend i do n't and enlighten me . phyllis : avery ditching genoa city . michael : avery ? avery , my law partner , avery ? phyllis : do not pretend . you think you are the best liar in the world , but you are terrible at it . my sister 's clients are everything to her . she would never take off without alerting you . michael : okay , i swear on my life , which i value very highly at the moment , that i had no idea that avery was gone . phyllis : she 's not gone . she 's here . michael : you just said she was gone . phyllis : she 's back , but she 's leaving again , this time for good . michael : why ? phyllis : to get away from her stalker . michael : avery has a stalker ? phyllis : yeah , and i 'll give you a hint . gorgeous face , first name rhymes with `` whoa `` as in `` whoa , i married a psycho . `` michael : she 's running away from joe . phyllis : [ sighs ] yeah . how selfish is that ? michael : what , to want to stay alive ? phyllis : no , you know what ? to not allow any of us in on it , to make us think that she was dead . really ? michael : sometimes when the situation gets desperate , you are forced to make hard choices . phyllis : uh - oh . now we 're talking about you . okay . what have you done now ? lauren : i would never have said a word , but the way that lily was talking , i figured she already knew . cane : wait , wait , wait . what do you mean the way she -- the way lily was talking ? lauren : she tricked me into telling her the truth . lily : are you kidding me right now ? are you trying to embarrass me ? cane : i 'm not trying to embarrass you . you 're doing that for yourself with the way you 're reacting . lily : oh , by telling it like it is ? cane : no , by trying to turn something that is n't real into reality . lily : so i made the kiss up then ? lauren : please , lily . let it go . we have . lily : oh , would you be able to let it go if your husband was working side by side with a woman who did nothing but throw herself at other men ? cane : all right , i ca n't do this anymore . i 'm gon na take a room here tonight , and when you calm down , we can have a conversation . but right now i just ca n't be around you . lily : how funny . i feel the same way about you . joe : first you ignore dylan 's assault on me . just sweep it under the rug . and now you ignore avery 's attempted murder . paul : i 'm not ignoring anybody . dylan : that 's good . take a look at these . joe 's most recent handiwork . i had an officer take the photos for evidence . joe : come on . you know how it is . when a woman 's on top of you and you get a little worked out . avery : oh , my god . you were worked up because i found out you could walk ! i told you i did n't love you and i never would , so you resorted to violence ! just like you did before . paul : he did this before ? avery : yes , he did . he hit me when we were married . joe : once . what about the time dylan hit her in the face at the underground ? avery : that was an accident . joe : i do n't believe in accidents ! paul : well , you did right after your fall . now you 're changing your story ? that does n't make you very credible . not to me or any other officer , related to dylan or not . joe : yeah , well , we 'll see about that . avery : just so you know , i 'm filing a restraining order against you . joe : fine . you know what ? i 'll just file one against him . dylan : go ahead . paul : most likely , the court will grant both . so why do n't you both do each other a favor and walk away now ? avery : why do n't you walk all the way to chicago , joe ? joe : yeah , or what , avery ? huh ? you already cheated on me . and then you make me feel like you still have feelings for me and then basically threw me out . you know , face it . you 're no different than i . and you know it . phyllis : there must be a way for you and lauren to get past this . michael : impossible . phyllis : what ? are you dying ? are you dead ? what 's going on ? i mean , because as far as i know , you 're not going to die . at least not from prostate cancer . unless there 's another prognosis i have n't heard about . michael : no . no . with hormone therapy , i will be able to live a long , unhappy life . phyllis : michael , stop feeling sorry for yourself . michael : you tell me that when you 're a eunuch . phyllis : stop it ! there are people dying from this disease every day . wives losing husbands , kids losing daddies . you need to be grateful to god that you 've caught this early enough so that you can still be on this planet and you do n't have to put lauren and fen through the hell of being without you . michael : oh , they 'll still be in hell . [ chuckles ] phyllis : only because you 're pulling away . and why ? because you ca n't be a stud in bed ? is that all you think your marriage is about ? you think that 's all it means to lauren ? michael : oh , yeah , 'cause that 's every woman 's dream -- to have a lifelong platonic relationship with their husband . phyllis : honey , you 're not even done with your treatment . this inactivity could only be temporary . michael : what if it is n't ? phyllis : then you change . you adapt . michael : lauren should n't have to . and i 've made sure of it . phyllis : you made sure of it how ? michael : i just did , okay ? and , unfortunately , some other people might have been hurt in the process . phyllis : okay . you 're not gon na tell me about that , are you ? what can i do to help you ? michael : remember how much you love avery and that she 's human , too , and , uh , mnh ... stop taking so much for granted . phyllis : yeah . lauren : i 'm sorry . i - i really hope you can get through to her . cane : it 's all right . given a little bit of time and space , i believe she 'll come around . lauren : i used to think that michael would come around . i mean , not that i think that you and lily -- cane : it 's okay . you do n't have to say anything . i understand . i , uh , you know , i talked to michael earlier . lauren : you did ? what did he say ? cane : he told me something that i think you should know . [ door opens ] dylan : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] sharon : hi . dylan : i 'm sorry i 'm late . i should have called . i was with -- sharon : avery . i know . dylan : phyllis told me you saw us . sharon : i poured us a couple glasses of wine . you want to sit down and talk about it ? dylan : you 're not angry after i kind of pushed you out the door ? sharon : you were really worried about avery . you needed to find out what happened , to talk to her . is she all right ? dylan : she will be . sharon : well , good . i 'm glad for her , and for you . i know you care about her . dylan : well , thank you for understanding . sharon : i ca n't very well ask you not to care . in the end , it will be entirely up to you whether you want to stay with me or you want to go back to avery . avery : are you still speaking to me ? phyllis : i should n't be . but i may have acted on impulse once or twice in my life , so i ca n't be too hard on you for packing up and leaving town . just , uh , stay in touch with me while you 're on the road , okay ? avery : actually , i 'm going to stay . phyllis : decided you could n't live without me ? avery : yeah , something like that . phyllis : look , what i do n't understand is why you took off alone without coming to me first . you should know by now that i want to be there for you -- avery : i know that . phyllis : ... when you 're in trouble . avery : i - i know . i was embarrassed for being so wrong about joe , for defending him to you , lashing out when all you were trying to do was protect me . phyllis : honey , i 'm glad that you see him for what he is . avery : well , i should have seen it a lot sooner . phyllis , there 's something that i have n't told anybody until today . last night was n't the first time that joe got violent with me . phyllis : he hit you ? avery : it was a long time ago . phyllis : i do n't care . there 's no moratorium on that . we have to make him pay for that before he hurts another woman . joe : problem ? lily : [ scoffs ] you could say that . do you think i 'm attractive ? lauren : okay , you 're scaring me . please tell me whatever michael said to you has nothing to do with his health . cane : no , it is , uh , something else . and i think it 's best that you hear it from him . excuse me . lauren : what 's going on ? cane said that you spoke to him earlier and he was very troubled by it . michael : hmm . yeah . it 's not important anymore . lauren : really ? is anything important to you ? for your information , our marriage is falling apart , and now cane and lily are having problems . and part of that is due to you . what did you say to her ? and why did you have to raise her suspicions about cane and me ? michael : i did n't tell her anything about you and cane kissing . lauren : she found out about it , and now she 's furious with both of us . michael : hmm . i 'm sorry about that . i truly feel for her . lauren : so you have sympathy for someone in this mess ? [ scoffs ] who are you anymore ? joe : what kind of question is that ? lily : a direct one . joe : you know i find you attractive . i 've said it in the past , and you 've chastised me for it . remember ? lily : well , not today . today i need to hear it . joe : okay , i 'll say it again . lily , i find you very , very attractive . w - w- where you going ? lily : home to my kids . but thank you for the nice words . dylan : as far as i 'm concerned , i 've made my choice . i 'll always care about avery . but i am committed to you now . there 's no looking back . sharon : i was hoping you would say that . actually , you know , i was pretty confident . dylan : [ laughing ] you were ? sharon : i was -- i was positive . [ chuckles ] that 's because of you . you make me feel safe . dylan : well , it 's , uh , been a lot time since i 've been able to do that for anybody . sharon : what can i do for you ? how about a glass of wine ? dylan : you know , it 's , um ... it 's been a long day . all i need is you . sharon : that 's an easy one . paul : [ sighs ] [ sighs ] phyllis : all right , you know what we do ? we turn the tables on him . we make him think that he has a stalker . anonymous letters start to arrive . presents are placed at his doorstep . we take a knife . we stick it into a heart , pulsating , blood . avery : okay , all right , all right , enough with the sick mind , stephen king . i am not stooping to joe 's level . i 'm better than him . phyllis : well , you 're a better person than me , obviously . avery : well , i have to believe that a restraining order is enough . phyllis : all right . revenge is off the table . avery : yes . of course , it is . [ next_on ] victoria : what do you think everyone 's up to ? victor : we both know you can get information out of billy abbott any time you want . billy : so , is this official ? you all moved in now , or is this , like , a little sleepover ? marco : no question about it . your rival is dead . | though dylan and phyllis think avery should seek revenge against joe , she thinks a restraining order should be enough . dylan and phyllis change avery 's mind about leaving genoa city . lily tricks lauren into admitting she kissed cane . michael asks cane to sleep with lauren , because he ca n't satisfy her in bed . cane refuses and goes to find lily . when he finds her , she is livid . cane is n't happy with her , either , knowing she tricked lauren . lily goes to the underground where she flirts with joe . dylan goes home to sharon and assures her , once again , that he is committed to her . |
[ previously_on ] jack : tessa , have you ever heard of a place called bright tomorrows home care center ? tessa : is that where you live ? i would love to come see you there . i mean , maybe i could play for you and your friends ? ashley : would you like that ? dina : i certainly would . adam : phyllis is n't my girlfriend , so if you abducted her looking for a big payoff , i do n't know what to tell you , kev . kevin : i 'm looking for an even trade . phyllis for chloe . sharon : as much as adam hurt me , i would n't be the woman that i am today without him . in a way , i owe adam my life . michael : adam only bought dark horse to use as , uh , leverage , which did n't work . he has no interest in the company itself . i mean , if the price is right , he could turn a quick profit . declare victory , and walk away with a semblance of his pride intact . nick : so what i need , then , is a white knight investor . [ knocks on door ] adam : i 'm coming ! sharon : what were you thinking ? adam : [ sighs ] sharon . sharon : tell me that nick misunderstood . adam : you heard about my offer . sharon : your offer . you 're making nick choose between his son and his company ? how could you do that ? adam : just a simple , straightforward business transaction . sharon : you 're bartering for a child . adam : my child . hey , and if nick would have given up christian like he should have , i would n't have been pushed to these extremes , sharon . sharon : you gave up that little boy a long time ago . adam : and a lot has changed since then . sharon : not for christian . adam : mm . sharon : nick is the only father that he 's ever known . he 's the only person that 's made him feel loved and safe . adam : what , you do n't think i can do that ? sharon : i do n't think you 're willing to put his needs first . if you were , you would n't be doing this ! adam : maybe using dark horse to force nick 's hand was wrong . but he is using every weapon in the newman arsenal to keep my son from me , so i had to do the same . dina : oh ! traci : well , that was a lovely walk , was n't it ? jack : yes , and those gardens are so beautiful . dina : you know , it reminds me of the tuileries in paris in the spring . have you been ? jack : i have . dina : oh , really ? and i went with you . jack : well ... traci : have i mentioned how lovely your room is ? it 's so beautiful . dina : well , it 's , uh -- it 's very comfortable . jack : so , how are you liking everything else -- the people , the food ... ? dina : excuse me , but why are you asking me all these questions ? traci : well , because , you know , if something 's wrong , we want to make sure it 's right . dina : why ? i do n't even know you . traci : well , because you 're a very sweet lady , and we just want you to be happy . dina : oh , i just wish my children felt the same way . traci : i 'm sure they do . dina : [ chuckles ] no , they don't . they brought me here and left me . and sometimes ... i feel very lonely . jack : well , i can do something about that . dina : what ? jack : here , i 'm gon na show you . you see this button right here ? dina : yes . jack : any time you push it , day or night , you 'll reach me . and we can talk , or i can come visit . but i do n't want you to ever feel lonely again . dina : i know why . jack : why what ? dina : why you do n't me to be lonely . because you know what it feels like . nick : hey , phyllis , uh , it 's me . look , i know i said some pretty harsh things , and you may have done something stupid to get back at me , but , uh , enough with the ghost number , okay ? summer 's worried sick . now , i get it if you do n't want to talk to me , but call your daughter , let her know you 're okay . we all want to know you 're okay . michael : [ claps hands ] kevin : michael !

[ laughs ] dina : oh , yes . traci : when the time is right . and now , meanwhile , when you 're alone , you can sort of find your center , you can find your peace . and , that way , when you do meet someone that you really care about , you can appreciate them even more . dina : that is beautiful . traci : oh ! jack : yes , it is . and wise .

[ knocks on door ] come in ! rey : got your message . what 's going on ? nick : [ sighs ] summer went by phyllis ' hotel room . she said she saw her tablet there and her keys , but no sign of her . rey : you think something happened ? nick : personally , i think phyllis is scared and she 's just hiding out , but my daughter 's really worried about her , so i want you to do whatever you can to track her down . rey : i 'm on it . anything else ? nick : look , rey , i 'm gon na fight like hell to keep my company , but if i lose it , i still would like you to work for me . rey : doing what ? nick : i want to know every move adam makes before he makes it . rey : the job include hazard pay ? nick : i understand if you want to stay on here . rey : i 'm not interested in working for adam . ever . sharon : i thought that you 'd gotten past all this . instead , you 're still harboring all this resentment and hatred toward nick . adam : yeah , well , when you lose a big chunk of your life , it causes you to rethink your choices . sharon : guess i just hoped maybe you 'd make better choices . instead , you team up with phyllis , of all people . adam : well , she was willing to do what no one else would . sharon : yeah , she always is . adam : you were n't gon na help me get christian back . nick is doing everything he can to stop me . chelsea stole my other son . even victor turned on me . all i want is to be a father to my sons . i thought you could understand that , but you are just like the rest of them . sharon : that 's not true ! adam : you said you were my friend , sharon . sharon : i am ! sometimes you make it damn hard to be that . adam : wait . you never forgave me . you said you did , but you can't . that 's what this is . it 's payback . sharon : that 's not true ! adam : no , i stole a child from you and nick , sharon ! why would n't you want to see me punished for that ? sharon : because i did n't think that it would help anything . adam : i do n't care about anybody else . they can all damn me to hell , but what you think matters , sharon . even if you never forgive me , i need you to believe that i will regret hurting you for the rest of my life . sharon : the only thing that should matter is your two sons . you need to forget about everything else and just put their needs first . adam : i am going to these extremes to prove how much i want to be a father . that does n't mean i care any less about how you feel about me . sharon : why ? adam : i 've asked myself that . why do i keep listening to you ? why did i let you convince me to come back here ? why do i keep turning to you ? there 's only one answer that makes sense . sharon : what ?

paul : well , no one has seen phyllis for a couple of days , and , uh , summer found her tablet and her keys in her hotel room . michael : well , i would n't say that 's proof of foul play . kevin : i agree with michael . paul : why would she just disappear without telling anyone ? michael : phyllis has burned a lot of bridges . maybe she decided to lay low for a while . regroup . lauren : plan her next attack ? kevin : sounds like phyllis . paul : well , it still does n't explain why she would leave her things behind . michael : what about her car ? paul : it 's in the gcac garage . michael : i suppose she could have used a car service or taken a taxi . lauren : i just wish she would call us and at least let us know that she 's okay . michael : you know phyllis . she loves drama . paul : you know , kevin , i could really use your computer expertise on this one . i do n't suppose you 'd consider sticking around and helping me out , huh ? kevin : i -- i wish i could , but i did n't realize how late it was . i have to meet esther . lauren : oh , will you give her our love ? kevin : will do . and , uh , i hope you find phyllis . paul : [ laughs ] no thanks to you . kevin : [ chuckles ] um , and , listen , keep your calendars open . i 'm only in town for 48 hours . lauren : okay . michael : we 'll talk before you go . kevin : yeah . dina : oh , i love it that you 're spending time with me . traci : well , i enjoy it . dina : oh ! uh , i 'm sorry , what 's your name again ?

traci : well , did n't start out to be , but ... dina : oh ! traci : it is turning into quite a romantic tale . dina : ooh , ooh , ooh ! [ both chuckle ] nick : hey , thanks for meeting me , jack . jack : fortunately , my lunch appointment is late . what 's up ? nick : well , before we get down to business , have you heard from phyllis ? jack : i haven't . i know summer 's very worried about her . nick : i thought calling the police was overkill , you know , that maybe phyllis was just running from her mistakes . jack : well , she 's made quite a few of those lately . nick : yeah . i 'm feeling the effects of one of them right now . jack : that what you want to talk to me about ? nick : i need a favor , jack . a big one . sharon : there 's nothing left between us , adam . we hurt each other too much . adam : well , that happens when we have the kind of powerful relationship that we did , sharon . sharon : we were n't good for each other . adam : well , i do n't believe that . sharon : you moved on . so did i . you built a life with chelsea and connor . if there are any unresolved feelings , they must be for her . adam : no , chelsea and i are finished . sharon : you put your heart and soul into that relationship . you built a life with her , a family . you ca n't just walk away from a love like that and close the door . adam : mm . she did . sharon : she thought you were dead ! adam : oh , now she finds out i 'm alive , she ca n't even be bothered to talk ? does n't sound like love to me . sharon : she 's just shocked , confused . adam : no , she 's happy , sharon . she moved on , started a new life , like the one we had never existed . sharon : well , i ca n't fill the void she left in your life . adam : oh , i 'd never use you like that . sharon : then what is it you want from me ? adam : the truth . can you honestly say that you feel absolutely nothing for me ? jack : wait , he 's threatening to call in the whole loan unless he gets christian ? nick : i already told him -- no deal . jack : so what now ? nick : next move is his . jack : well , we both can guess what that 's gon na be . nick : i need $ 27 million , jack . jack : and you were hoping to secure a loan from jabot ? nick : look , it 's a good investment . dark horse has turned a very nice profit the last three quarters . jack : you do n't have to sell me on dark horse . you know where things are with jabot right now . nick : yeah , summer kind of filled me in . jack : ashley 's patent stunt left us strapped for cash . nick : i was worried about that . jack : i do have another suggestion . nick : does it involve me putting my first through adam 's face ? jack : no , exactly the opposite . i 'm suggesting you sit and talk , brother to brother . nick : oh . should we hold hands and sing `` kumbaya `` while we 're at it ? jack : adam 's whole like blew apart when that cabin exploded . he 's just trying to put his life back together . nick : by stealing my son . jack : by reuniting with his . there is a chance you can both get what you want . nick : that would involve me trusting adam , and i will never do that again . jack : i know what it 's like to try to run away from your family . listen to me , it ca n't be done . it can't . nick : well , that may be true for you , but not for me . you have an appointment , and i need to go find $ 27 million . good luck with your family . jack : thanks . dan , it 's jack . uh , could we cancel this lunch appointment ? something 's come up . yeah . it 's very important . lauren : the last time i saw phyllis was at the jabot collective launch party . paul : how was she ? lauren : furious . paul : with you ? lauren : me , everyone . paul : did she have a specific gripe ? lauren : yeah . she feels like she was shoved out of the company that she gave all of herself to . michael : and we all know wronged phyllis is a dangerous phyllis . lauren : mm - hmm . paul : yeah , tell me about it . chris and i can attest to that . lauren : that 's for sure . look , i know that she has done some very questionable things , but she 's still my friend , and i 'm worried about her . michael : listen . i hate to have to say it , but she creates a lot of her own problems . lauren : i get that , but i do n't think that 's the case this time . paul : what makes you say that ? lauren : well , the jabot launch was n't the only party she crashed . paul : oh , yeah , summer told me that she showed up uninvited to victoria and billy 's commitment ceremony . lauren : yeah . did she tell you who she was with ? paul : no . lauren : adam newman . sharon : you ca n't just mess with my head like this , adam . adam : what , you think i 'm playing games with you ? sharon : i 'm not the fragile person that i used to be , okay ? i 'm healthier now , i 'm stronger , and you ca n't manipulate me like you used to . adam : i 'm not trying to manipulate you , sharon . sharon : okay , call it whatever you want . we ca n't go back and recreate something that never should have existed in the first place . adam : you do n't mean that . sharon : yes , i do . you and i , we were never meant to be . adam : what we had was real and true . it was deeper than anything you had with anybody else . sharon : you ca n't walk into my life and tell me how i feel . adam : okay . then tell me . why did you insist i come back here ? sharon : because i thought you deserved to have your life back . adam : that is all that i want , sharon . sharon : i 'm not your life , adam . adam : well , you 're a part of it . sharon : okay , i used to be , in the past . that 's done . it 's over . at least it is for me . adam : i do n't believe you . sharon : no , i 'm -- i 'm happy now.-i found what makes me happy . adam : hmm . you think a boring life with some glorified security guard is gon na make you happy , sharon ? sharon : how dare you . i should have left you in vegas . victor : surprised to see you . nick : i need your help , or i 'm gon na lose dark horse . victor : huh . must be desperate , to come to me for help . nick : you owe me this . victor : what do you mean , i owe you this ? how do you figure that ? nick : you brought adam back into our lives . victor : he the one trying to destroy your company ? nick : he does n't want my company . he wants to destroy this family , and i need your help to stop him . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . traci : so , my book is a detective thriller and a love story all wrapped up into one . dina : wow , a love story . you know , they 're the best kind . traci : i could n't agree with you more . dina : oh ! not only in books , but in real life , too . traci : [ laughs ] well , i suppose that 's true . dina : mm - hmm . so , tell me , who is this special man in your life ?

[ laughs ] tessa : yeah . well , i 've come to sing for you , if that 's okay . dina : oh , really ? traci : what do you say , mother ? would you like your own private concert ? dina : oh ! i 'd just love it . tessa : well , good , because i have a very special song just for you . dina : oh ! tessa : it 's a love song . dina : oh , perfect . [ giggles ] rey : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . i did n't see that in the forecast . sharon : what ? rey : tornado . category 5 , from what i can tell . sharon : sorry . i just have a lot on my mind . rey : is it anything i can help you with ? sharon : [ sighs ] i thought i told faith to clean up before she left . rey : uh , yeah , she wanted to get to her friend 's . i said i 'd take care of it . sharon : did she at least bring her laundry down ? rey : yeah . sharon : oh , well , i better get started on it . and then i need to go to the store and get food for dinner . is there anything in particular that you would like ? oh , and what time does faith need picked up ? maybe i can just do that on the way back . rey : hey , hey . is everything okay ? sharon : [ sighs ] yeah . it 's fine . everything 's fine . rey : are you sure ? [ cellphone rings ] adam : who 'd you kidnap this time , kevin ? kevin : keep making jokes , adam . they 'll be at phyllis ' expense . adam : it is funny you think i give a damn about her . kevin : this is no bluff . adam : you 're right , it 's a felony . class a . which means being locked up for a very , very long time . [ knocks on door ] do n't you have a thing about small spaces ? i 'm gon na have to call you back . kevin : adam , do n't hang up on me ! adam : what can i do for you , chief ? paul : adam . this is about phyllis . she 's missing . adam : come in . i think i can help you with that . victor : the boy for your company ? nick : probably sounds like a pretty good deal to you . you must be just so proud of adam . victor : i 'm disappointed in both of you . nick : you ca n't blame me for this . victor : you never gave adam half a chance . if you had done that , you would have reached a compromise . nick : adam did n't want a compromise . he wanted to use my company to force me to hand over my son . what kind of person thinks like that ? victor : a desperate one . nick : well , i 'm not giving up christian for anything . victor : [ sighs ] what if adam makes good on his threat and calls in the loan ? what are you gon na do then ? nick : well , that depends . victor : who 'd you ask for money ? who else did you ask ? nick : dad , you are the only one who matters . victor : i 'm sorry , but i ca n't help remembering the day you came to me and you said you were going to open dark horse , and then afterwards , you bragged to people that you 'd broken into newman enterprises computer system , and then you poached some of my executives , and then you asked the rest of the family to join your company . nick : you tried to steal my son , too , just like adam . victor : because you disrespected me . and you disrespected what i tried to build -- a legacy for my children and grandchildren . why ? because you said you wanted to stand on your own two feet ! now you 're asking me to save you . nick : you want me to grovel , beg for forgiveness ? victor : i want you to see this as an opportunity . nick : are you gon na help me or not ? victor : i 'm not going to give you money . but i will leave the doors wide open . you can walk in any day , any time , and say , `` dad , i 'm here to rejoin newman enterprises , `` because this , son , is where you belong . nick : i 'm in the fight of my life , and you 're using it to impose your will . i do n't know why i 'm surprised . victor : that i would want you by my side ? nick : that you still do n't understand who i am . victor : i know you better than you realize . nick : you do n't know anything about me if you thought i 'd consider for one second coming back to newman . victor : when you reach the point in your life where i 'm now , you will look back at this moment , hopefully , and judge me less harshly . nick : i was an idiot for thinking you 'd want to help me . all you care about is winning . it is the most important thing to you . victor : in this case , you could n't be more wrong . nick : you are willing to risk and lose everything to a selfish , backstabbing bastard who does n't give a damn about anything but himself . victor : how can any of what you 're asking me now be less selfish ? huh ? you tried to destroy my company . whatever you stole from me , you used to create your own legacy . now you 're asking me to save you . nick : everything i did was for my family . victor : oh , where are they now ? summer 's with the damn abbotts , and noah 's working for you , but thousands of miles away ! nick : i let my kids choose their own path . i do n't test their love for me . victor : you and victoria used to accuse me of that . and now you 're coming here and you 're testing me by demanding that i side with you over your brother . nick : coming here was a mistake . paul : what , you 're leaving already ? adam : oh , this was just temporary . paul : wow . victor goes to all this trouble to bring you back into town . i thought you would stay a while . adam : well , dad loves to have people in his debt , especially his kids . i prefer to pay my own way . paul : where you headed ? adam : athletic club . till i find a place . paul : really ? adam : mm - hmm . paul : phyllis has a room there . adam : hmm . does she ? paul : you said you had information about her . i heard that , uh , you two had gotten close . adam : [ chuckles ] you need better informants , chief . paul : i do ? you 've been seen together . adam : we bumped into each other a couple times . literally once . well , almost . paul : [ chuckles ] what does that mean ? adam : it was a near fender - bender on the road the other night . we probably should have reported it , but phyllis and i do n't always obey the rules . paul : or the law . adam : mm . you , uh , wanted to know about phyllis . paul : she was seen at victoria and billy 's commitment ceremony . with you . adam : mm . guilty . of attending my sister 's tacky new - agey , deconstructed , non- wedding . with phyllis . paul : so , do you have any idea where she is now ? adam : i wish i could help you , but i have n't heard from phyllis since that day . paul : what 's this ? this hers ? adam : hmm . passionate pink . that is not my color , so , yeah . it was probably hers . you can take it if you want . paul : so she was here ? adam : she was , uh , a little shaken up after our highway mishap . i brought her back here . paul : uh - huh . shaken up ? any chance the two of you might have been drinking ? adam : um , i was stone - cold sober . paul : what about phyllis ? adam : seemed fine to me . paul : is there anything else you want to tell me about her , or anyone that might know why she disappeared ? or where ? adam : i 'm sorry . but , please , uh , if you find her , let me know . paul : well , i 'm sure we 'll talk again soon . adam : mm . stop by any time . paul : hmm . tessa : find your cup filled up with happiness again thank the clouds for cleansing rain find forgiveness in you heart so love remains find me there along the way then our lives can traci : hey . i thought you had a meeting . jack : this is more important . tessa : just me and you thought the sky may not always be blue i 'll survive the storm if i 'm with you i 'll survive the storm right here with you i comparison shop for everything to get the best deal . gas is 6 cents cheaper here . sale rack ! no ! and , for loans , i go to lendingtree . com . i wanted to consolidate my credit cards in to a personal loan to pay them off faster . lending tree made lenders compete for my business and i ended up with a loan that saved me over $ 9000 and no more credit card debt . i mean $ 9000 ! it 's a lot of money . lending tree , may the best loan win . lauren : [ sighs ] tell me i did the right thing . michael : too late . ca n't back out now . ha , ha ! oh . you meant with phyllis . lauren : she 's furious with me , even though i probably kept her out of jail . michael : [ sighs ] she 's not too thrilled me with me , either . lauren : [ sighs ] right . she should be grateful to both of us . i mean , what was she thinking , selling jabot products under a knock - off logo ? michael : [ chuckles ] it 's phyllis at her clever best and self - destructive worst . it 's a bad combination . lauren : now she 's awol . michael : you know , i ca n't help wondering if this is n't part of a bigger plan . make us all worry about her , and then swoop in for the kill . lauren : you think she faked her own abduction ? michael : mm , i would n't put it past her . would you ? rey : i was wondering where you ran off to . sharon : yeah . just have so much to do . i have n't dusted or vacuumed in ages . i told faith we would paint her room this summer . have n't even picked out a color . and that laundry did n't do itself while we were taking that little break . rey : i would n't call what we did `` a little break . `` sharon : sorry . that 's not what i meant . rey : i think if we 're gon na label it , i 'd call it a pretty clear - cut case of ... escape sex . sharon : you make that sound like it 's a bad thing . rey : did it work ? sharon : if you 're asking me if you made me forget about everything , the answer is yes . rey : including adam ? sharon : adam ? rey : [ sighs ] you went to go see him , did n't you ? sharon : only to tell him how i felt about what he 's doing to nick and that he should stop . rey : that was the end of it ? sharon : not exactly . rey : i did n't think so . sharon : what does that mean ? rey : means nick was right to worry . adam 's getting inside your head .

[ scene_break ] noah : uh , any word from phyllis ? avery : uh , no . noah : it is kind of strange , though , canceling a wedding at the last minute without any kind of explanation . summer : ( laughs ) i bet mom just decided she 'd rather get married in a hot air balloon or something . noah : yeah , we 've learned to roll with it . summer : after lots of practice . avery : well , then i will learn from your good example . i should be going . noah : see you . avery : okay . ricky : wow . look at you . are you in someone 's wedding or something ? avery : uh ... ricky : oh . did phyllis and nick -- avery : no , they - m that was the plan , but , uh , they had to postpone . ricky : ohh . well , i 'm so sorry to hear that . avery : ( scoffs ) shut up , ricky . [ scene_break ] heather : so he says he 's gon na take me dancing , which -- it 's a great first date , right ? paul : yeah . heather : well , what he does n't say is that the dancing is part of a flash mob in the middle of times square . paul : ( laughs ) oh , no ! tell me there 's video . heather : there is a video , but you ca n't really see me because i come in at the end and its `` west side story , `` so i 'm mostly just like ... ( snapping fingers ) paul : ( laughs ) i ca n't believe you went along with that . heather : the show must go on . paul : yeah . okay , well , i 'm not sure that , um , genoa city 's nightlife will have that much excitement to offer . heather : yeah , that 's okay . i mean , it was pretty much the beginning of the end of my professional dancing career , and everyone can be very grateful for that . paul : i missed you . heather : yeah , i missed you , too . [ scene_break ] lily : hi . cane : hey . genevieve : hi . lily : well , this is lucky . cane : yeah , 'cause we were gon na stop by your place later . genevieve : uh , well , this is my place for now . um , the , uh , feds seized all my assets , including the house . lily : well , i think i 'll see if the spa can take me now , if you do n't mind keeping cane company genevieve : happy to . lily : okay , bye . cane : bye , baby . bye . genevieve : shall we ? cane : sure . genevieve : so how are you ? cane : uh , i 'm great , only because you sacrificed yourself so i would n't have to be deported . genevieve : i could n't have lived with that on my conscience . cane : but now you have to live with the consequences . genevieve : ethan , we both know that in the past , i 've chosen money and security over my children 's welfare , and the consequences of that ... ( sighs ) i 've made some really horrible mistakes in life , but i do learn from them ... eventually . ( chuckles ) [ scene_break ] paul : well , i 'm so glad you took the job . heather : you know , the fact that it was michael offering made the decision a lot easier . i know that he has faith in me . paul : well , the feeling is mutual , obviously . heather : oh , he 'll -- he 'll be a good d.a . you know , i know there are some people who will think it 's , i do n't know , ironic , given his history , but i think it 's a plus that he understands the darker side of human nature . heather : hey . where 'd you go ? thinking about ricky ? paul : yeah , he 's , um , never far from my thoughts these days . heather : look , whether or not he 's guilty of any crimes , you 're gon na have to accept the fact that he 's not capable of being the son nor the brother that we hoped for , and ... he probably never was . paul : well , at least your eyes are wide - open about that , and , uh ... you 'll protect yourself . heather : well , you can feel free to check in on me as much as you want . paul : you 're going to regret saying that . heather : mnh - mnh . i 'm gon na hit the gym . paul : okay . call you later . heather : i know you will . paul : ( chuckles ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] ricky : ( thinking ) `` phyllis newman exposed : the unauthorized biography . `` ( strikes key ) [ scene_break ] phyllis : it was n't intentional , right ? i mean , daisy was n't trying to make me miscarry , right ? ( exhales sharply ) pregnant women get upset all the time . they do n't lose their babies . nick : look , daisy never should have been here , pushing your buttons ... but this does n't have to be anyone 's fault . phyllis : ( sighs ) nick : tragic things -- they just sometimes happen , without cause , without reason . phyllis : i 'm never gon na know . ( sighs ) if i did n't have to deal with daisy , i mean , if i ... i did n't have all this stress with daisy and ricky ... nick : what about ricky ? phyllis : oh , ricky . ( sighs ) ricky is writing some tell - all book about me . he 's uncovering my past sins ... phyllis : which should take him a while . nick : look , he 's a jackass , and he does n't know when to quit . you should not be dealing with this right now . [ scene_break ] daisy : i went to your mom 's earlier , and i brought her a wedding gift . no , i wanted -- i wanted to let her know that i wish her well , and i - i also thought maybe she 'd let me come to the wedding . daniel : so you made an issue out of it , after i asked you not to ? daisy : i was trying to make peace . daniel : oh , that 's -- that 's great . how 'd that go over ? daisy : not well . we got into an argument , and i -- you know , i know it 's not one of my brighter ideas , but -- daniel : no , no , it was n't one of your brighter ideas , badgering a pregnant woman on her wedding day . daisy : i was n't badgering her . i was being perfectly polite , and then she went off on me . daniel : you should n't have been there in the -- you should n't have been there in the first place . i mean , could you tell that she was n't feeling well ? did she say anything at that point ? daisy : no , she did n't say anything . she was perfectly fine when i left her . daniel : oh , god . daisy : daniel ! i do n't know why you are so angry at me . daniel : so angry at you because i ca n't do this . i ca n't deal with you , no matter how hard i try . daisy : if i 'm so impossible to deal with , then why do n't you walk away ? daniel : because you know that i ca n't do that ! kevin : whoa , whoa , whoa . hey , hey , hey . what -- what are you doing ? [ scene_break ] cane : thank you very much . so what can we do to help ? genevieve : ohh , nothing , nothing . i - i got myself into this one , i will get myself out . cane : mom , you 're staying here . it must be expensive . genevieve : i withdrew a little cash before i turned myself in . cane : okay , so it 's not gon na last that long . look , i can talk to lily . you know , maybe you could stay with us . genevieve : please do n't worry so much . i - i have things under control , really . but it means a great deal to me to know that i have your support if i need it . cane : okay . [ scene_break ] kevin : what is the problem ? daniel : could you maybe , for one second , have just thought about someone other than yourself ? daisy : you ca n't blame me for this . it 's not like i knew that your mom was gon na lose the baby . daniel : no , but you could n't leave it alone , could you ? even though i asked you to leave her alone , even though i asked you not to go there , even though it was supposed to be one of the happiest days of her life . kevin : okay , you guys , this is not the place for you to be having this conversation . daniel : oh , we 're done . daisy : what is that supposed to mean ? daniel : it means -- what that means is mother needs me right now , or are you thinking maybe we should also be focused on you ? [ scene_break ] noah : dad . hey , um ... i 'm just here with summer . um , we 're calling to see if you and phyllis are okay . nick : uh , phyllis was n't feeling well . we were at the hospital , and now we 're home . she 's gon na be okay . phyllis : ( sniffles ) nick : he 's just telling summer . phyllis : i want to talk to summer . ( sniffles ) nick : okay . son , can you put summer on ? phyllis wants to talk to her . phyllis : ( sniffles ) noah : yeah . summer : mom ? you were sick ? phyllis : ( voice breaking ) it just came on suddenly . i 'm fine now . summer : you want us to bring you anything ? phyllis : ( normal voice ) no , i 'm -- i 'm okay . i 'm being well taken care of . summer : maybe this is a message from the universe , telling you to slow down . noah : ( chuckles ) phyllis : yeah , maybe so . summer : okay , be good . she sounds really sad . noah : yeah , well , she had to cancel the wedding . summer : yeah , i guess . so swimming ? noah : uh ... look , my friends have jobs . they ca n't just drop everything in the middle of the day to go to a pool party . summer : hmm . must suck to be old . ricky : hey . well , look at you two . you look great . noah : hmm . and this is what we look like leaving . ricky : good one , good one . later , neighbor . ( inhales sharply ) ( sighs ) [ scene_break ] nick : was summer upset ? phyllis : no , she said it was a message from the universe . ( chuckles ) she was n't talking about the baby . she does n't know about the baby . nick : this was a medical problem . it 's -- it 's not some kind of message . phyllis : it 's karma . nick : how could it be karma ? phyllis : daisy is exactly like me . she 's doing the things that i did . it 's my past sins ... ( voice breaking ) coming back to haunt me . oh , i ca n't get away from it . ( sniffles ) and danny and christine coming into town , and ricky and his tell - all book ... oh , it 's like -- it 's the price i have to pay . nick : okay . phyllis : it 's payback for everything i did . nick : look , losing the baby is not some kind of punishment . there is nothing in your life that you ever did that could deserve that . phyllis : you do n't know that . nick : i do n't know that ? how is that ? you saying i do n't know you ? you 're an amazing mother , and you are completely dedicated to loving and protecting your family . does that sound like someone who deserves to lose a baby ? does it ? [ scene_break ] paul : so nick did n't tell you why the wedding was called off ? avery : no , but he made it sound like there was no reason to worry . i bumped into rick on the way out . paul : oh . how was that ? avery : it was unpleasant . you know , he actually -- he seemed amused to hear the wedding had been canceled . paul : ah . so we can add , uh , `` pettiness `` to his list of personal charms . avery : i 'm sorry . i should n't have mentioned anything . paul : no , it 's all right . heather and i were just talking about that . you know , we ca n't wear blinders where -- where ricky is concerned . avery : you know what you need ? a day at the spa . paul : ( laughs ) the spa ? avery : yeah . there 's nothing like a deep - tissue massage to eliminate tension and clear the mind . paul : well , i got ta admit , that has appeal for me right now . avery : all right , you should come with me . i was just gon na see if they have any last - minute appointments . paul : okay . avery : what is it ? do you now this man who 's missing ? paul : yeah , i used to . [ scene_break ] kevin : you keep pulling the same kind of stunts , you 're gon na get the same reaction . daisy : i just want to be accepted as a family member , which i am . i -- kevin : hey , i 'm the voice of experience , right ? i hurt people , but i was forgiven , but it took time . you had a chance today to show some patience , some compassion and understanding , and you blew it . you just pushed too hard . but , hey , you want to be a single mom again , you 're -- i mean , you 're practically there . ( scoffs ) [ scene_break ] nick : all right . she 's upstairs . she 's just freshening up . daniel : mm - hmm . how 's she doing ? nick : it 's tough . we were both very excited for this baby . daniel : um , daisy told me that she was here . nick : yeah . daniel : it got ugly , did n't it ? nick : there 's no way to connect it to the miscarriage , but to your mother , its cause and effect . the pain started once daisy left . daniel : i 'm so furious at her . you know , i really let her have it . hey . phyllis : hey . hey . daniel : mom ... phyllis : hmm ? daniel : come here . i 'm so sorry . hey , come here , sit down . you should n't be on your feet . sit down . phyllis : okay . daniel : you , um , you want something to eat ? can you eat anything ? phyllis : no , i 'm okay . i do n't have an appetite . i 'm okay . daniel : i was thinking of maybe getting you some of that frozen yogurt you like ... phyllis : ( chuckles ) daniel : or , um , one of those trashy novels you pretend you do n't read . phyllis : that -- that 's very sweet . thanks . phyllis : he 's amazing , my son . nick : listen , i 'm glad , uh , we 've got a minute to ourselves here , 'cause there 's something i 'd really like to ask you . [ scene_break ] paul : okay , so the employees at the manufacturing plant where tim was a security guard got concerned when he did n't show up for work . apparently , he never misses a day . they checked at home , and he was n't there . avery : any signs of foul play ? paul : uh , no , not that they 're saying . his boss reported him missing . avery : his boss , not his family or his friends ? hmm . paul : i better see what i can find out . avery : okay , so no massage for you . paul : rain check . avery : okay . ( laughs ) avery : hi , magda , it 's avery bailey clark . i was wondering if you had anything for this afternoon . i 'll take it . pencil me in . thanks . ( exhales sharply ) heather . heather : huh ? avery : hi . are you looking for your dad ? heather : yeah . avery : uh , he just left . he told me that you two were talking about -- heather : ricky . ricky : hey . avery : ( clears throat ) heather : i 'm -- i 'm glad i 'm running into you . uh , i understand you 're living in my apartment . ricky : yeah , yeah , yeah . it 's -- it 's a great place . i 'm loving it . ( chuckles ) heather : yeah , me , too . in fact , i still hold the lease . ricky : i had n't realized . heather : yeah , the -- the manager was renting it out while i was gone , and daisy did n't get anybody 's permission to sublet it again , so now that i 'm back , i hope -- i hope you 'll understand that i - i want my place back . ricky : yeah , yeah , of ... ( chuckles ) of course , of course i understand . um , it -- it just might be a little difficult for me to find someplace else right away . uh ... heather : mm - hmm . i - i could see where that would be a problem , but it 's not my problem . ricky : right . ( sighs ) okay , well ... i 'll make the necessary arrangements . ricky : ( sighs , clears throat ) [ scene_break ] lily : well , i really hope that your mom understands we were n't just being polite and we really do want to help her . cane : yeah , she knows , and she appreciates it , but i do think , you know , i do n't know , maybe she 's right , and it would be a bad idea if she stayed with us . lily : yeah , i might need a few more spa days , but i think we could have made it work . cane : mm . i love you for saying that . lily : ( laughs ) so what is your mother 's plan ? cane : you know what ? that is the million - dollar question . [ scene_break ] genevieve : have you considered my proposal ? kevin : i do n't know enough to consider it , other than the fact that it 's a little illegal . genevieve : shh . i need to know that you can be discreet . kevin : you already know that , or you would n't have told me this much . genevieve : okay , so here 's the deal -- most of my assets have been frozen . i do , however , have one account in switzerland that the feds do n't know about , but apparently someone else does , because it is being drained bit by bit . now i ca n't go to the authorities for assistance . kevin : ( sighs ) you want me to hack into the computer system . genevieve : find out where the money is going so i can put a stop to it , so really , if you think about it , you 're helping me to prevent crime . [ scene_break ] nick : depending on how you feel about it , i still would like to marry you today . phyllis : are you sure ? ( laughs ) really ? nick : this has been a tough loss . but we 're gon na get through it by facing it together , the way i want us to face everything , good and bad . so why wait ? i mean , unless you want , uh , the music and the flowers and the big party . phyllis : ( voice breaking ) i do n't want any of that . i just want you . nick : okay . phyllis : ( normal voice ) i do n't want to face a big crowd . nick : i think the kids should be here . phyllis : oh , yeah , of course . someone to make it official . ( laughs ) nick : that , i can handle . here , let 's see . kay : nicholas ? nick : uh , katherine , hi . kay : how are you ? how is phyllis ? nick : she is doing okay . ( rubs phyllis ' leg ) listen , um ... what are you doing today ? we need a favor . [ scene_break ] woman : he was civil , polite . not much for chitchat . this conversation we 're having right now is longer than any i ever had with mr. reid . paul : did you notice anything different or unusual lately , either with him or visitors he might have had ? woman : no -- well , actually , there were a couple of cars in the parking lot that i did n't recognize recently and i wondered who they belonged to , but not enough for sure to say it had anything to do with mr. reid . paul : right . can you describe those for me ? woman : um , one was an s.u.v . , black , big . it was really nice . paul : uh - huh . make or model ? woman : oh , sorry , no . oh , the other one was an s.u.v . , but it was smaller and green . [ paul remembering ] paul : i 've got an extra car you can use , if you want . ricky : oh , no , no , you do n't have to do that . paul : it 's just sitting there . ricky : okay . okay , thanks , yeah , thanks . [ scene_break ] paul : could that have been a - a toyota , uh , rav4 , like , an older model ? woman : ooh , i 'm the wrong person to ask . um , i do n't know the difference between cars . i take the bus . paul : oh , well , maybe they got picked up on a security camera . woman : a security camera in this neighborhood ? that 's funny . [ scene_break ] ricky : part of our deal , daisy , was you letting me take over your lease . now i find out you never cleared it with the manager . now this is a big problem for me , daisy , which makes it an even bigger problem for you . [ scene_break ] heather : see , i assumed that you and ricky were still allies . avery : ( scoffs ) he 's not even trying to hide it from me anymore , how machiavellian he is now . heather : you know , it 's breaking my dad 's heart . avery : i know . i know . it 's good that you 're here . listen , i hope things work out for you at the d.a .

( claps hands ) now then . dearly beloved , and , you know , i - i 've been to a lot of weddings where that phrase has never been more apt . this is n't merely a wedding , you know . it 's a forming of a family right before my very eyes . oh , good . keep 'em handy . we 're gon na need 'em . [ scene_break ] cane : you know , mom did say she has some cash available , but , you know , who knows how much ? lily : maybe she 'll get a job . cane : ( laughs ) yeah , right . who 's gon na trust her after what happened with the feds ? lily : well , there 's always pouring coffee at crimson lights . cane : you know what 's funny , though ? she said she had things under control , okay , but with no obvious legitimate options . i 'm just kind of worried about what trouble she 's gon na get herself into , you know ? [ scene_break ] kevin : ( clears throat ) it 's not worth the risk . genevieve : name your price . kevin : i would be violating international law . i have a family to look out for . genevieve : but that 's how i know that you 'll be very , very careful not to be caught . okay . you had your chance . i will find someone else who 's willing to make a quick fortune . thank you for the coffee , by the way . kevin : wait , wait , hold on . uh ... i 'll -- i 'll do it .

[ scoffs ] victoria : i 'm sorry . it must be really hard not being with your son today . stitch : jenna did let me talk to him . victoria : good . i 'm glad . stitch : it just made me miss him more . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : hey , one thing 's for sure -- this is the last father 's day i 'm gon na spend without my own child . lily : oh , look . daddy 's here . cane : whoa , whoa ! what 's the celebration ? hang on . wait . wait . is it -- is it my birthday ? no , no . is it australia day ? is it fourth of july ? charlie : nope . cane : well , what is it ? both : happy father 's day ! cane : [ gasps ] that is awesome 'cause i just happened to bring my father , too . colin : hey , it 's grandpa . what about a few hugs and kisses ? hey ! ooh ! ahh ! cane : we have room for one more , right ? lily : yeah . i mean , i guess if jill can make room in her heart for colin , i can make room at the table . so , at least she 'll be here to keep him in check . cane : uh , actually jill wo n't be here . she 's gon na go and help lauren at fenmore 's for the father 's day promotion . lily : she 's not coming ? cane : no , with paul in icu , um , jill 's worried about lauren , so she wants to be there to distract her . colin : lily , i want to thank you for including me . i 'm honored . charlie : did you and my dad spend father 's day in australia ? cane : yeah . yeah , we did . colin : but we have n't celebrated this day together for a long , long time . devon : hey , guys . lily : devon , hey . devon : hey . lily : i did n't know you were coming . devon : yeah , i am . how you doing ? lily : good . devon : yeah ? it looks like we 're gon na need a bigger table . cane : i wanted to invite devon and neil to celebrate with us . it 's father 's day . that means all fathers . neil : good to see you . cane : you , too . chelsea : aha . i 'm gon na miss you , little buddy . ah . thank you . anita : just one suitcase ? chelsea : short trip . anita : now , why do you need this heavy jacket ? it 's summer . chelsea : well , it 's already fall in australia . i need to make room for that and this . anita : ohh . chelsea : here , i 'll take that . thank you . anita : you know , it 's not that i mind looking after the little guy . chelsea : with the help of a full - time sitter ? anita : but what i do n't understand is why you 're dropping everything and taking off with billy abbott . or maybe i understand too well . chelsea : no , mom . you really do n't . chelsea : i 'm not going on some romantic getaway with billy . anita : then what are you calling it -- a `` business `` trip ? chelsea : a trip . it 's just a trip . and in case you forgot , i 'm a grown woman . i do n't have to ask my mother 's permission to get on an airplane . anita : well , you have my permission , baby , even if you do n't think you need it , and not for nothing . you and billy do have a past . chelsea : a past that was n't pretty , and i 'd rather not revisit it . thank you . anita : whose past is flawless ? i was willing to overlook adam 's flaws because he had other redeeming qualities . chelsea : his bank account and real - estate holdings ? anita : and billy abbott , despite his own history , also has his finer points . chelsea : not interested . anita : he 's handsome , kind of single , and rich . chelsea : i have my own money . i do n't need billy 's money . anita : what 's wrong with a little more money ? come on . what is your angle ? if you 're not hitting billy 's wallet or his bed , then what -- chelsea : do you hear yourself ? anita : why are you flying halfway around the world with somebody else 's husband ? stitch : it 's okay . i know next father 's day could be a lot rougher than this one if the tests determine that the baby is billy 's and not mine . victoria : [ sighs ] i 'm so sorry . i was trying to make you feel better , not worse . stitch : what ? you kidding me ? seeing you always makes me feel better , and if the baby 's not mine , i will man up and deal with it . victoria : yeah , i know you will . [ exhales deeply ] stitch : whoa , victoria . you okay ? colin : okay . ta - da ! mattie : where 'd you learn how to do that , grandpa ? colin : well , mattie , you see , in australia , we do n't use money as money . you see , we all sit around with nothing else better to do and take pieces of paper and fold them into fancy shapes like this so that when you go out and buy something -- wherever , whatever that is -- the guy behind the counter -- he walks up , and he says , `` okay , that 'll cost you a sailboat , two butterflies , a rocket ship , and a bunyip . `` [ both chuckle ] colin : you believe that ? both : no . colin : that 's very , very wise of you . [ sighs ] i learned how to do stuff like this when i had too much time on my hands . you see , i was in the circus , and while i was in the circus , i was , in fact , the lion tamer , but , of course , in australia , we do n't have any such thing as lions running around the streets . so , i had all manner of time to learn stuff like this , and that was grandpa 's life in the circus . mattie : daddy , did you grow up in the circus , too ? cane : to tell you the truth , my mommy did n't want me to grow up in the circus like my dad . colin : your mommy was right . neil : sweetheart . the purse . i did n't think i 'd see you carrying around that beaded purse that i gave you . devon : she loves that thing . lily : well , it is the perfect birthday present and maybe a peace offering ? neil : it was . lily : well , when your girlfriend gets here , i 'll make sure to make peace with her today -- just today , that is . neil : um , hilary -- she 's not coming . i invited her , but she did n't want to intrude on the family occasion . lily : wow , i 'll have to actually give her some points for that . neil : that 's mighty big of you . in all actuality , i want hilary to share in family , you know , events with us in the future , so the sooner you accept that , the better . devon : you know , you can let it go for today . lily : oh , is that what you 're doing ? devon : yes , that 's what i 'm doing . i even reached out to tucker this morning and wished him well . lily : [ sighs ] i guess you 're right . i mean , it is father 's day , and , you know , i do love him , and i 'm glad that he 's here . i guess we can have a fun family brunch for everyone . neil : [ claps hands ] moses ! moses : daddy ! neil : oh , my goodness , my handsome man . look at you . i have n't seen you in so long . mwah ! good to see you . i , uh -- i thought you were n't coming . hilary : yeah , well , sofia had to drop off little moses early , so i thought i 'd bring him by . neil : yeah , did your mama drop you off early for the party ? 'cause we 're gon na party today . you know what , everybody ? it 's moses ! lily : hi , moses . devon : how you doing , moses ? what 's up , man ? hilary : do n't worry , lily . i 'm not staying . moses : no , i want the nanny ! neil : who 's the nanny ? moses : she is . neil : [ clears throat ] stitch : sip . do n't gulp . what happened ? did you push yourself too hard ? victoria : no , i just forgot to eat breakfast . you know , exercising on an empty stomach always makes me dizzy , even before i got pregnant . stitch : okay , all the more reason that you should eat properly and take all your supplements . victoria : [ sighs ] stitch : and , you know , i even know a personal trainer who specializes with expectant mothers . victoria : thank you very much , doctor , but i 've been pregnant before . i 'm good . stitch : [ chuckles ] victoria : okay ? go work out . stitch : you sure ? victoria : yes , i 'm sure . were you this protective of jenna ? stitch : uh , actually , i used to wrangle a video conference practically every day to give her the same kind of advice , so , yeah . victoria : oh , i can actually picture that . stitch : [ chuckles ] victoria : i 'm sure she found it as sweet and annoying as i do . it really makes me wonder why she would want to end a marriage to you and keep you away from your son . stitch : hey , are n't we supposed to be focusing on happy talk -- keeping you calm so the pregnancy goes as smoothly as possible , hmm ? victoria : ah . in other words , please drop it . stitch : in other words , as a doctor , uh , you need to put you and the baby first . victoria : aye , aye , doctor . stitch : `` aye , aye `` ? that 's the navy . you know , the guys on the boats ? you know ? victoria : well , whatever , captain . why do n't you go punch a bag or lift something heavy or something ? stitch : see you later . victoria : see you . kelly : who are you gon na rescue ? billy : my wife -- before a certain doctor can hurt her . kelly : you talking about , uh , ben rayburn ? billy : i 'm gon na go get some information from stitch 's ex - wife and bring it back and show victoria before it 's too late . kelly : i know how much you resent stitch 's involvement with victoria , but do you really think that using jenna is gon na win victoria back ? billy : a desperate time for desperate measures , huh ? and what you do n't know is that -- kelly : victoria is pregnant , and you do n't know whether the baby is yours or ben 's . billy : you know that ? kelly : ben told me , and i just ca n't imagine what an emotional father 's day this is for both of you . billy : yeah , well , there 's one huge difference . stitch is hiding something -- something that could threaten victoria 's happiness , and i 'm not gon na sit here and let that happen . kelly : is this really protecting victoria , or do you think maybe you 're just trying to undercut stitch ? because if the baby turns out to be his -- billy : if that 's the way it plays out , then , yes , i 'll hate it , but i will find a way to care for and love that kid because of how much i love victoria . and that 's not gon na stop me from shielding her from some guy who could cause her pain . kelly : what about the pain that you might cause victoria when she finds out that you 're going on this mission ? oh , you 're not gon na tell her , are you ? billy : kelly , you could save me a really long flight if you just told me what you know about stitch . kelly : [ sighs ] billy : no ? well , when i come back , i 'll have enough ammunition to get stitch out of victoria 's life and the baby 's . kelly : [ sighs ] hilary : um , moses must have got the nanny thing from his mom . neil : why do n't you go grab a cookie ? give one to charlie , okay ? can you do that ? there you go . why would sofia -- hilary : she just mistook me for the nanny , and then she realized i was your girlfriend . it 's fine . lily : well , it makes sense . i mean , you being so young , i think anybody would think that it 's weird that you and my dad are together . devon : sofia could have made that mistake with anyone 'cause she 's never even met hilary before . lily : well , thank you so much for bringing moses . i 'm sure you have somewhere to be , so , please do not let us keep you . neil : hey , hey , hey . now that you 're here , why do n't you have some lunch ? hilary : no , i do n't think -- neil : no , really . hey , come here . ooh , you got the cookies , huh ? or you can grab some cookies . hilary : i should go . okay , maybe one . or two . [ both chuckle ] neil : she likes cookies . cane : you see , i do n't know what is more telling , okay ? when you take shots at hilary , or when you try and defend her . devon : i do n't know what you 're talking about . cane : oh , you do n't know what i 'm talking about ? devon : i 'm over her . cane : oh , really ? okay . devon : i do n't know what the point is , anyway , 'cause the other day , i heard hilary tell neil she 's ready for a commitment , so i just hope that my dad does n't get hurt again . cane : okay , so you 're doing this to help out your dad ? devon : what are you getting at ? cane : i think that you 're , uh , trying to protect hilary 'cause you have feelings for her still . stitch : coffee to go , please . have you talked with sam 's father today ? kelly : no . we have n't done that since the divorce . besides , even if we did , talking about sam would be too painful . stitch : look , i know it 's not comparable , but i understand . [ sighs ] it kills me that i can only talk to max through video chat , so ... kelly : [ sighs ] yeah , father 's day is hell , is n't it , ben ? stitch : i 'm not asking for your sympathy . kelly : good , 'cause you 're not getting any . stitch : you know , today is n't a picnic for me , either , since i ca n't be with my son and victoria 's baby may turn out to be billy 's , not that i would expect you to care . kelly : ben . you know , billy was just in here a few minutes ago . stitch : [ scoffs ] yeah ? so , yippee ! whoo ! kelly : so he told me that he 's going to track down your ex - wife . billy : i know the plan was for me to come over later and ... victoria : no , no , listen , it 's okay . a little boy should be with his dad on father 's day , but , uh , johnny did n't really get much sleep last night , so i just put him down for a nap . billy : well , is he all right ? victoria : yeah , he 's fine , but since he did n't sleep in his own bed last night ... billy : well , where was he ? victoria : at my dad 's . billy : johnny spent the night over at the ranch with victor ? why ? victoria : well , the visit was supposed to be with my mom , but since she was at the hospital waiting for word on paul , he stayed with dad . billy : well , you know , vicki , i 'm available anytime . victoria : yeah , i know that . good dose of dad is exactly what our son needs today , i 'm sure . billy : wait a minute . did you just call me a stabilizing influence on our son 's life ? victoria : yes , i did ... without much enthusiasm . billy : well , still ... well , uh , i at least am glad to be able to spend a little of today with johnny . i 'm gon na be headed out of town later . victoria : where you going ? billy : well , it 's just , you know , out of town for business and gone a few days . victoria : what kind of business ? chelsea : i 'm going on this trip for one reason -- to help billy -- to help him repair his marriage . anita : why ? chelsea : because i owe him . he did so much for connor when he was sick . anita : well , then buy him a plant . i mean , you do n't have to fly halfway around the world . chelsea : adam took his little girl 's life , which led to him getting close to kelly , which inevitably ruined his marriage , so ... anita : so rewind that tape , honey . you are not the one that owes billy . it 's all on adam . chelsea : i guess it is , and i wish he was here ... despite everything that happened and all the people he hurt . um , this would have been adam 's first father 's day . anita : ohh . so you think going away is gon na help ? chelsea : it 's just -- it 's something -- something small that i can do . anita : and when you come home ? chelsea : i mean , it 's not gon na change things . it 's not gon na make everything right . adam 's gone . he 's gone . connor : [ cooing ] colin : now , you see , my tricks are nothing when compared to mattie 's . she made an entire diamond necklace disappear . neil : wait a minute . what happened ? cane : oh , hang on a sec . she did n't make the necklace disappear like stealing it . she borrowed it . neil : are -- are we talking about a real diamond necklace ? cane : yes . devon : it 's worth millions . hilary : impressive . lily : and mattie promised that she would never do anything like that again , right , honey ? charlie : how can she , if grandma jill never takes it off ? colin : you 're telling me . mattie : at least nobody can steal it now . neil : let me thank you again for bringing moses . hilary : yeah . of course . neil : yeah , really . devon : today . you promised . lily : [ sighs ] moses looks really happy . neil : yeah , he loves being with his family . lily : yeah , it would really be a shame for that to change . him being happy , i mean . neil : why would it ? lily : well , you know how hard it was for me to accept that you and hilary are together . hilary : yeah , that 's hard to miss . lily : have you thought about how it might affect your youngest child ? neil : sweetheart , if you 're gon na start attacking hilary again , i 'm gon na leave . hilary : she 's not , right ? lily : no , i 'm not . i 'm just -- i 'm being honest . neil : how is my being with hilary gon na upset my son ? lily : because he starts kindergarten in the fall . what if some parent or some teacher starts talking about how his dad and daddy 's girlfriend are living together in sin ? neil : this is kind of crazy . this sounds like the spanish inquisition here . lily : you know what i 'm trying to say . neil : i 'm kind of offended . where is this coming from ? lily : you should hear the way that some parents talk . neil : about living in sin ? lily : dad , it 's confusing . he 's confused . just earlier , he was asking about leslie . neil : really ? hilary : yeah , he was . i heard him ask devon . lily : yeah , and now you 're with hilary . dad , a child needs to know that he 's on solid ground , and how could he not be confused when his father is sleeping with the nanny ? stitch : why would billy go looking for jenna ? kelly : why do you think ? to try to convince her to tell him what you 've done . stitch : but how did he find her ? kelly : what , you think i told him ? stitch : no . i -- kelly : i was n't even gon na tell you this , ben . you know , i 'm not gon na stand here and let you accuse me of being a total jerk . stitch : okay , look , i 'm not blaming you or accusing you , kelly . i 'm just -- why did you tell me ? kelly : why did i tell you ? because i was right . because this is exactly what i have been warning you about -- that somebody somewhere was gon na stumble across the truth . you should have told victoria when you had a chance . stitch : i told you -- i was going to . it 's just upsetting her at this stage of her pregnancy -- kelly : give me a break . that is just an excuse . stitch : are you saying that i should n't be concerned about victoria and the baby ? kelly : i think you should be concerned about how victoria will feel when billy blindsides her with what you 've done , okay ? i mean , how is that gon na affect victoria and the pregnancy ? stitch : yeah , well , i got to stop him . kelly : ben , what you 've got to stop is all this lying and -- and evading and secrets . stitch : i am trying , kelly , but i wanted victoria and the baby to be safe when i told her . i thought i 'd have more time . kelly : well , you do n't . stitch : yeah , i knew i was cutting it close . i knew that , any day , you 'd probably end up telling jack anyway . kelly : of course , i 'm gon na tell jack . i 'm not gon na keep this from him . if he asks me about your past , i 'm gon na tell him . stitch : why did n't you tell billy ? you could have spared him an airfare ? kelly : yeah , well , maybe i should have . maybe i 'm just gon na tell him everything . stitch : why do n't you ? kelly : because i remember there was a time that we did n't always fight like this , so i 'm giving you this chance , ben -- this one last chance to tell victoria everything -- for you to be the one . because if she finds out from billy , she 's gon na hate you . stitch : [ sighs ] i 've been in a war . i 've seen things in battle , in the e.r . , but i was never afraid . kelly : but you 're afraid now ? you 're afraid you 're gon na lose everything . stitch : [ scoffs ] i 've already lost my wife and my son , kelly . kelly : do n't you see ? stitch : [ sighs ] kelly : if you keep living this lie , you 're gon na lose it all again . billy : oh , a part of my job at jabot is looking for exciting new investments . victoria : and you 've found one in australia ? billy : yeah , it could be a real game changer . what -- what 's that smile about ? victoria : i just like it when you do your swashbuckler thing . billy : oh . victoria : you 're gon na take a chance and make everything better all on your own . billy : mm . you like that ? that 's one of the things that messed us up -- me taking risks . victoria : yeah . billy : like this time last year . victoria : you got caught up in the gambling , and i thought you were cheating on me with chloe . billy : look , vicki , i - i know that i have n't made it easy for you to trust me . in fact , just the opposite . i 've given you plenty of reasons to doubt me too many times , but , uh , that 's part of what this trip is about . i 'm gon na prove , once and for all , who you can trust . victoria : by going on a business trip for jabot ? billy : it 's an important trip . victoria : okay . but , i mean , the timing -- is there another reason you 're leaving today ? billy : oh , you know there is . victoria : it 's your first father 's day without dee dee . billy : yeah . it sucks . victoria : i 'm sorry , billy . billy : i 've avoided parks and ice - cream parlors and -- too many dads with their little girls . i just -- i ca n't see that right now . victoria : i 'll be right back , okay ? billy : okay . victoria : somebody wants to say something . billy : [ chuckles ] hey . victoria : happy father 's day . billy : oh , hi . hi . hey . hey . billy : aah ! [ chuckles ] another block bites the dust . [ chuckles ] that 's okay . here . i 'll -- i 'll fix it for you . oh . you know , when i finished high school , i went and built houses down south with a guy named brock , and i 'll tell you something that i never told anybody back then . i had this dream of becoming a builder . hmm ? and not , uh , skyscrapers or -- or , uh , bridges , but , uh , homes and houses for moms and dads and little kids so they all could be together . [ chuckles ] they could love each other , you know , support each other . but i forgot about that dream , and i spent a lot of my time knocking blocks down when i should have been building them up . but i 'm gon na be that man again , johnny -- the father i was always supposed to be . you know , all the kids around town are giving their dads , uh , ugly ties that they 'll never wear and books that they 'll never read , but you give me something that i 'll never exchange -- i 'll never return , never forget . you give me all the smiles , the hugs . [ chuckles ] all the hugs . precious time with your old man . i 'm gon na be gone for a little while , buddy , but , uh , i 'm gon na be taking those gifts with me , and when i get back , uh -- well , i hope i can , uh , make up for all the blocks that i knocked down , and we can build them back up together .

victor : from anyone who might want to come after them . nick : i am so sorry about that . sage : yeah , he is not shy about speaking his mind , is he ? nick : you ai n't see nothing yet . sage : [ laughs ] nick : i actually think my dad was pretty vulnerable today . sage : that was vulnerable ? nick : for him , yeah . yeah . but you held your own . sage : yeah , well , it 's not the first overbearing man i 've ever dealt with , so ... nick : you know , all that stuff about you saying you wanted to support yourself , this baby , on your own ... sage : did you like that ?

sage : yeah . but i want to stop somewhere first . summer : that does not sound like aunt avery at all to me . i mean , she does n't freak out , and she certainly does n't run off without telling anyone . phyllis : it 's a puzzle to me , too . summer : did n't she get your text ? could n't she tell how worried we were ? phyllis : well , my thinking is that joe is really messing with her head . summer : god , that guy 's a lot worse than we thought . phyllis : well , i always knew he was a creep , but thank goodness avery finally sees that , too . summer : well , i 'm just relieved that she 's okay . phyllis : you know , i just could n't get out of my mind the -- the image of her abandoned car being found at concord lake . you know , last night , i had this terrible nightmare that something happened to jack . summer : mom , i 'm sorry . phyllis : it 's okay . jack 's fine . avery 's fine . ashley seems to be doing better . brain surgery ? i mean , kyle must have been really worried about her . summer : yeah . phyllis : what ? were there complications i do n't know about ? summer : no . no , no . phyllis : then what ? summer : nothing . i 'm probably just being stupid . it 's nothing . phyllis : just tell me . i 'll let you know . summer : no , it 's just at the hospital yesterday , aunt victoria and i saw jack , billy , and kyle all huddled together , whispering about something . phyllis : let me guess . victoria was suggesting that they were up to something ? summer : well , she thought they might be . phyllis : well , it 's pretty clear what that was . victoria knows that you and kyle have been getting closer . she was reminding you that no matter how you feel about him , you 're a newman and your loyalty belongs with them . summer : [ sighs ] victoria : so , you can subscribe yourself or you can give the subscription as a gift , and there 's no cancellation fee , so we 're hoping that will entice people to try our service . kyle : yeah , victoria , look , i 'm sorry , but i really got to get running here . victoria : loved it that much , huh ? kyle : it 's great , really . i think you and billy have got a winner on your hands . i just have to go and -- victoria : a meeting to get to . kyle : actually , i was gon na stop by the hospital to see ashley . victoria : i thought that jack said she needed her rest . kyle : yes . she does . i just , uh , i have a gift for her , and i want to make sure it 's there when she wakes up . you know how it is . um , so i 'll catch you later , all right ? oh , and , uh , congrats on the project . chelsea : billy , what are you doing here ? billy : i got a text from jack . he said to come here for the meeting . chelsea : the meeting 's here ? billy : yeah , kyle 's gon na be here any minute . we were with victoria when we got jack 's text . we did n't want to rouse any suspicions , so ... chelsea : well , hold on . back up . jack did n't say anything about the meeting being here . billy : well , maybe you did n't get the text . i mean , have you been off the grid for like the last 20 minutes ? chelsea : um , yeah , off the grid . billy : well , he sent it out last - minute . he did n't want anybody to get wind of what he was up to . chelsea : well , what is he up to ? billy : you 're not gon na believe this , but he is finally going to overthrow victor and take back the whole company for the abbotts . adam : oh . best news i 've heard in a long time . billy : something wrong with the shower at your place ? adam : yeah , as a matter of fact , uh , it 's the water pressure . it 's not great at all ever since the fire . remember that night , when i saved your life ? billy : so , is this official ? you all moved in now or is this , like , a little sleepover ? adam : how is that any of your business ? chelsea : it 's not . billy : you know what ? you 're right . it is n't . i just did n't expect it in my face . chelsea : billy , you showed up here uninvited . i mean , if you do n't like what you see , that 's your problem . billy : i just came here for a meeting . i expected everybody to be properly dressed , or at least fully dressed . maybe my expectations were a little too high . adam : so , the thing is , you ca n't come over and insult chelsea anymore , okay ? billy : would it kill you to button that shirt there , fabio ? [ doorbell rings ] chelsea : excuse me . adam : sure . [ door opens ] chelsea : hey , jack . just in time . marco : sorry for intruding into your home . there 's a reason i wanted to have the meeting here . and from the looks of things , i did n't arrive a moment too soon . billy : just tell us what 's going on , jack . marco : okay , i will . i need you and gabe to bury the hatchet . billy : [ sighs ] summer : i thought we were done with the whole newman - abbott rivalry . phyllis : well ... summer : is n't that what the merger was supposed to settle ? phyllis : no amount of signatures will ever end the feud between those two families . summer : you think it 'll ever be over ? phyllis : no . the crazy thing is , if anything ever happened to your grandfather or jack , the other would be devastated . summer : okay , why ca n't they see that ? phyllis : well , because hatred is a blinding force . summer : you know , honestly , i would n't even care if they wanted to fight each other forever . i just hate that i 'm stuck in the middle , forcing to choose between my family and kyle . phyllis : i know , honey . but you know what ? i felt like that when i came back from georgia . i was actually grateful to victor that he finally found the cure that brought me back to life , but i did feel disloyal to jack . and i was actually relieved that the two joined forces , even if it 's only temporary . summer : god , i just -- i really hate the thought of things blowing up again . phyllis : if they do , you always got me . kyle : so , what did i miss ? marco : i was just explaining to gabe and billy that if we 're to defeat victor newman , they 're gon na have to put their differences aside . kyle : [ chuckles ] and they agreed to that ? marco : yes , they were about to , right , fellas ? billy : yeah , sure . adam : oh , yeah . marco : good . then we 're all on the same page . billy : okay , what about ash ? marco : i 'll fill ash in once she 's recovered . right now , i want to lay out my plans for all of you . chelsea : okay . let 's hear it . marco : well , kyle got the ball rolling . why do n't you tell them what you 've already done , son ? kyle : right , we bought a shipping company with funds from jabot 's reserve account . adam : what do we need a shipping company for ? marco : we do n't . there was no purchase . it was a money transfer . $ 10 million . our first move . kyle : well , wait , dad , if -- if we did n't buy a shipping company , where did this money go ? marco : move number two -- a dummy account was set up in victor newman 's name . adam : we 're gon na make it look like victor was embezzling . marco : and stealing from jabot was his motivation in this merger from the start . now , here 's part number three . i need each of you to find in your individual departments areas in your budget from which we can discreetly siphon money . billy : that 's pretty slick . and then the funds get diverted into the dummy account . marco : that 's right . chelsea : how do we make sure victor ca n't trace the cash back to us ? marco : you do n't have to worry about that . let me worry about that . you find the money . adam : that 's impressive . chelsea : i - i ca n't believe how far you 're willing to go with this . billy : yeah , i got to say , i did n't know you had this in you , jack . setting up victor for grand larceny and corporate fraud and god knows what all else . this is a side of you i 've never seen before . marco : well , get used to it . we 're all gon na have to get down and dirty if we 're gon na defeat victor . and you have the most difficult job of all . billy : great . what is it ? marco : i need you to keep victoria off our scent . billy : too late . she 's already on it . marco : well , then you 're gon na have to be creative and use your abbott charm . victoria : do you hear that ? victor : no , i do n't hear anything . victoria : exactly . it 's the middle of the day and there 's nobody here . billy and kyle took off after they got a text from jack . claimed that it was some medical update on ashley . victor : you think they were lying ? victoria : possibly . before that , i caught them together huddled in a corner whispering about something . victor : remember what i told you yesterday , to watch out ? i bet you jack abbott is hatching something . have you seen gabriel bingham or chelsea ? victoria : they have n't shown up for work today , either . what do you think everyone 's up to ? victor : well , if anyone can find out , you can . victoria : me ? victor : we both know you can get information out of billy abbott anytime you want . victoria : do you seriously think that even if i wanted to , i could get billy to turn his back on his family ? victor : yes , you could . he would fight for his legacy , as you would fight for yours . newman enterprises , our company , is your legacy . it 's in your blood . and you will do anything to preserve it and to fight for it , wo n't you ? not only for yourself , but for your children . victoria : yes , dad . it is their legacy , too . victor : just remember . adam is gone . nicholas and noah have turned their back on their responsibilities . you 're the only one i can count on . victoria : okay . i will call billy , and i 'll see what information i can get out of him . victor : all right . billy : jack , i 'm not gon na lie to victoria . adam : no ? is that because you 've never done that before ? billy : oh , shut up , bingham . marco : i merely need you to distract victoria . you should be up to that . you were married to her twice . billy : and divorced twice . marco : okay , the marriages did n't last . the love did . look , we all know she 's the great love of your life and you 're hers . i say we capitalize on that for a short time for your family . billy : look , jack , what you 're asking me to do -- marco : is no more than i 'm asking of kyle or myself . we ca n't be totally honest with the women we love about our efforts to bring down victor . kyle : dad , i 'm with billy . i do n't like lying to summer . marco : we are abbotts . we need to stick together . are you in or out ? kyle : i 'm in . marco : good . billy ? [ cell phone chimes ] billy : it 's vicki . she wants to meet with me . marco : well , there 's your chance . billy : yeah , okay , fine . i 'll -- i 'll keep her off your trail . marco : good . i knew we could count on you , billy boy . billy : you have got to stop calling me that . i 'll talk to you later . kyle : i 'll walk out with you . chelsea : i 'm gon na grab my purse . excuse me . adam : where 'd everybody go ? way to clear a room , jack . marco : they will all thank me in the end . so will you . adam : i got to tell you , i 've never seen you this confident when it comes to bringing down victor . what -- what 's changed ? marco : you . adam : right . me . you and i tried to bring him down once before . we failed miserably . you remember ? marco : he does n't know who he 's up against this time . adam : you mean me . marco : it provides us a distinct advantage . adam : well , i sure hope you 're right . because as much as you want to see him burn , i want it twice as bad . marco : i 'm counting on that . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] chelsea : what were you and jack talking about ? adam : uh , you know , jack was just telling me to be careful about the funds that i siphon into the dummy account for victor . he wanted to make sure they were n't traceable , you know . chelsea : he already told us that . adam : yeah , i know , i think he just wanted to reiterate it . you know , hammer it home one more time for me . chelsea : i thought we had an understanding , gabe . if we 're gon na be in a relationship , i have to be able to trust you . adam : you can . chelsea : well , no , not if you keep lying to me . so i 'm gon na ask you again , and i want you to tell me the truth . what were you and jack talking about ? adam : you 're right . you 're right . i was n't being honest with you . uh , jack was just telling me to , uh , to leave billy alone . i was embarrassed for being reprimanded by the boss . that 's all , okay ? chelsea : okay . see ? that was n't so hard . we should get to the office . adam : okay . one more thing . um ... i thought i just heard you say , um , a relationship . is that what we 're doing here ? chelsea : i do n't -- i do n't think that 's what i said . adam : i think that 's what you said . chelsea : i -- [ chuckles ] i think i said , um , you know , we are -- we are taking it one day at a time . adam : okay . sage : do n't judge me . nick : i 'm not judging . i 'm impressed . i mean , what you just did to that doughnut , it never had a chance . sage : [ laughs ] nick : that 's , like , land - speed record . sage : [ muffles ] nick : mnh - mnh . sage : [ laughs ] well , you do n't have to worry because i 'm gon na be incorporating fruits and veggies and protein because your father gave me a list of acceptable foods for his grandchild . nick : yeah , well , do n't worry about that . you just have to ignore him . sage : that 's kind of hard when he shows up at my hospital room . nick : when you actually have the baby , we may want to think about hiring a guard to stand outside the door . sage : [ laughs ] i wish you were joking . nick : me , too . but my dad was right about one thing . sage : what ? nick : you ca n't stay at the club forever . we 're gon na have to find you someplace else to live . summer : [ sighs ] phyllis : he will be here . summer : yeah , well , he was supposed to be here half an hour ago , and he has n't responded to any of my texts . phyllis : i 'm failing as a mother . you 're supposed to make him worry that you 're not interested , not the other way around . summer : i do n't want to play any games with kyle . i 'm just worried that this whole newman - abbott rivalry is gon na come in between us . phyllis : no , your romeo is here , juliet . kyle : hey . summer : hi . um , you 're late . kyle : uh , yeah . sorry . summer : i was kind of worried when you did n't respond to any of my texts . thought maybe it 's because i 'm a newman . kyle : why would you say that ? summer : i was just kidding . phyllis : summer and i were discussing the rivalries between our families . we 're hoping that your dad and victor joining forces will put an end to that . kyle : of course . why would n't it ? summer : kyle , what 's wrong ? why are you being so weird ? kyle : sorry , um , there 's just a lot going on at work . phyllis : you know , i 'm gon na leave you two to talk . i 'm gon na catch up with your father . kyle : sure . victor : next time you ask to meet with me , you better be on time . you got it ? marco : i have something to tell you , something you are gon na want to hear . victor : what is it ? marco : jack abbott 's dead . victor : what do you mean , jack abbott is dead ? how 's that possible ? marco : death is a fact of life . it 's not only possible . it 's inevitable . victor : spare me your dime - store philosophy . where did you hear this ? marco : you 're not the only one with sources . mine are accurate . no question about it . your rival is dead . wondering if maybe your realtor sage : well , i have been looking , and i was actually wondering if maybe your realtor could take us back to the house she showed us with the big backyard and the open floor plan . nick : yeah , mary lou called . that place is no longer available . sage : you 're kidding . nick : nope . but i 've got an even better place . in fact , it 's perfect . sage : oh , yeah ? what is it ? nick : uh , it 's huge . huge , huge land . sage : mm - hmm . nick : you know , lot of trees . this big tree in the front yard is perfect for a swing . fireplace -- it 's pretty rustic . but it 's homey . sage : you talking about your place ? nick : well , it 's my place , yeah . but if you move in , then it 's our place . billy : hey . victoria : hey .

[ sighs ] if i lose this job ... i do n't know what i 'm gon na do . i could go back to playing for tips in the park , but there 's no way nikki will let me stay at the ranch house . i need to make things right with her . mariah : look , i do n't think nikki is gon na toss you out . i mean , did you explain why you called victor ? tessa : yeah , but she thought i was being a narc . i would never do that to a friend . mariah : yeah , that would definitely be a crappy thing to do . sharon : i thought you went over there to quit . scott : i did -- briefly . but then i got promoted . sharon : [ chuckles ] what ? scott : victor told me he actually wanted to buy the company i recommended and that i 'd be in charge of it . i mean , just like that . i was floored . and this job 's exactly what i was hoping for . sharon : does this mean you 're gon na be going away on dangerous assignments ? scott : no , he wants me to run it from genoa city , so i 'll be , uh , staying put . sharon : well , that 's great . scott : it is . sharon : of course , i mean , this means you will still be tied to victor . scott : yeah , but i think it 'll be different now . sharon : how so ? scott : victor kept his word . i 'll be at newman , but on my own terms -- kinda . sharon : well , be careful . victor sees the world as one big chessboard , and he has no problem moving his pawns around to suit his needs . scott : i 'm not about to let that happen . sharon : are you sure ? because it seems like you 're easily allowing him to move you from one position to another . scott : since i was so young when my dad died , i never really had a strong male presence in my life , so ... maybe that 's the reason that i 'm so intrigued by victor . sharon : do n't make victor newman your role model . jack : abby , i 'm the one who rescued you when you needed to unload that warehouse . i 'm the one who believed in you when your own father did n't . that 's why i wanted to partner with you . abby : i know that , uncle jack , and i appreciate that -- i appreciate you . i really do . jack : and still , you want me to walk away . abby : if my dad finds out you 're involved in this project , he 's gon na go ballistic . and then i will never get to prove to him that my idea has merit , that it 's profitable . jack : it 's not that simple . i promised ashley a new lab in that warehouse . abby : okay , well , my mom can have the warehouse space . jack : and victor will just go along with it ? abby : i 'll handle my dad . jack : abby ... abby : uncle jack , if you dissolve our partnership , if you walk away right now , i will make sure you get a considerable return on your investment . jack : a one - time payment . abby : a generous one , at that . jack : as opposed to victor , who will be collecting on my idea for years to come . abby : is that what this is really about ? you 're worried that my dad is gon na have a one - up on you ? no , this is n't about him , uncle jack . this is about me . this is about my dream . i am so tired of being stuck in the middle of this feud . jack : okay , fine . it 's yours . abby : really ? i - it 's that simple ? jack : you 've made a very compelling argument . abby : well , thank you , uncle jack . ah ! [ chuckles ] i will draw up the paperwork , okay ? i 'll do that right now . and do n't tell mom about the warehouse . i 'm gon na make sure that i tell her . and have you spoken to her ? i 've been trying to get ahold of her . jack : i 'm sure she 's busy right now saying goodbye to your grandmother . abby : wait . dina 's leaving ? jack : for paris -- tonight . abby : well , she did n't tell me that she was leaving . why would n't she say something ? jack : your mother and i think that her companion , graham , is forcing the issue . abby : i ca n't imagine that dina would be forced into anything . jack : you 're right . my mother spent an entire life doing whatever she wanted to do , regardless of the consequences . [ glass thuds ] abby : i just -- i feel so bad that i 'm not gon na get to say goodbye to her , to see her one more time . jack : do n't . this is n't the first time she left without saying goodbye . ashley : i did n't want to give you a minute of my time -- not one minute -- when you came back . because my instincts told me to put a wall up -- and then another one just in case -- and that i should stay safely behind there . and then you know what ? i let my guard down . i thought i should be kind , so i invited you to an abbott family dinner . well , what an exercise in futility that was ! i wish i could erase that entire evening . and then you know what ? [ voice breaking ] it gets so ridiculous ! i 've actually felt protective of you the last few days . because there were so many unanswered questions about your graham . there 's no question at all as to who you are ... and who you have always been . so you just go back to paris . you go back and you put yourself first , because that 's what you always do ... mother . [ door opens ] chloe : you made it . kevin : i am never leaving you -- not again . chloe : where 's bella ? kevin : she 's with esther for now . chloe , she 's ours . after i got your letter , the lab at the police station did another dna test . chloe : that 's all i ever wanted . kevin : yeah , me , too . look , i 'm gon na have like a million questions . chloe : i know , and i 'm gon na answer every single one of them , but we ca n't stay here , okay ? [ door opens ] [ door closes ] dr. harris : what 's going on ? who are you ? chloe , we had an understanding . kevin : hey , hey , hey , i do n't care about any `` understanding . `` one minute , i 'm planning a funeral for the woman i love -- the mother of my daughter -- the next thing i know , she 's telling me to meet her here , so ... kevin : wait . you contacted him ? when ? chloe : after the funeral . dr. harris : do you realize that you have ruined everything ? if one person knows , everyone knows . kevin : stop giving her a hard time and start talking . why are you holding her prisoner ? chloe : i 'm not a prisoner , kevin . [ sighs ] everything that i have done -- faking my death , coming here -- it was my choice . just like contacting kevin was my choice . i love him . i ca n't live without him . jack : thanks for coming by . good to have a friend to talk to . nikki : well , you sounded upset on the phone . is it ... work ? family ? oh , god , it 's dina . jack : give the lady a gold star . just when everything was going great , just when we were all getting along , she decides to hop on a plane and head back to france , maybe -- maybe for good this time . nikki : well , do n't think that . jack : i 'm not talking about her mortality . i 'm saying she may not be inclined to ever visit again . nikki : why not ? jack : ashley and i think it has something to do with this companion of hers , graham . he 's a ... i ca n't figure out who he is or what he is to our mother . i just know she says he protects her . i say he controls her . nikki : wow . that 's a pretty serious accusation . jack : as strong as our mother is , whenever she 's in the same room with him , she defers to him completely to make all decisions . ashley thinks he 's out to get his hands on her money . nikki : and what do you think ? jack : i think it 's pretty clear -- she chose him above us . nikki : ohhhh . look at this ! oh , jack , so cute . how old were you here ? jack : 15 . that picture was taken right after mother walked out on us . nikki : you know ... you never really talked about dina when you and i were married . jack : was n't much to tell . when she was here , she was n't really here . as adults , she popped in every once in a while . nothing terribly significant about those visits . this time was different . this time ... we even had a family dinner here the other night . nikki : that 's good . jack : yeah . ashley ... abby -- traci flew in from new york . we ... sat around here and joked and reminisced and laughed and ... [ snaps ] and that 's it -- she 's gone . something about being around her family triggered this impulse to flee . nikki : oh , why is it ... that the people who supposedly are closest to you ... can hurt you more than any stranger ever could ? victor : hi . ashley : [ gasps ] i - i 'm really not in a good place right now . victor : well , do n't leave . you look really upset . what 's the matter ? ashley : i 'm okay . victor : is it because your mother 's staying here or what ? ashley : she wo n't be here for long . she 's going back to paris tonight . victor : oh . well , that 's gon na upset abby . abby loves talking to her . ashley : yeah , well , she has n't told abby that she 's leaving . she 's pulling the same stunt with her that she did with me . she 's just disappearing without a word . abby . abby : hi , dad . victor : hi , sweetheart . abby : mom , has dina left yet ? ashley : how did you know ? abby : uncle jack told me . is she gone ? ashley : no , she 's upstairs , honey . she wanted me to tell you goodbye for her . abby : well , if she 's still here , why ca n't she tell me herself ? ashley : because that 's just what she does . i 'm so sorry . abby : i -- it 's unacceptable . graham : a limo is on its way . [ knock on door ] abby : i 'm here to see dina . you were gon na leave without saying goodbye ? dina : oh , well , uh ... i - it just -- time just slipped away , dear . abby : but you do n't have to leave tonight , do you ? i mean , just -- just stay . dina : it 's not that simple . abby : but we were just getting to know each other . unless that 's not what you really wanted . dina : there 's nothing i would love more than to spend time with you , darling . abby : i feel like i 've lost so much this year . a child ... my marriage ... and now it feels like i 'm losing you , too . dina : oh , no , no , no , no . you 're not losing me . you can come visit . and we 'll talk . abby : so there 's nothing i can say to get you to stay ? not even that ... i love you . dina : well , my leaving does n't mean i do n't love you , too . but it just ... is not possible right now . graham : [ clears throat ] dina , the car . abby : i guess that 's my cue to go . [ sniffles ] dina : oh , honey , i love you . abby : [ sniffles ] dina : i know it 's the right thing to do ... but it feels so wrong . victor : by the way , this graham fellow , how long has he been with your mother ? ashley : about a year . i was so convinced that he was somehow forcing dina 's hand , but there 's no doubt who 's in control . victor : dina . ashley : mm - hmm . always has been , always will be . victor : uh - huh . ashley : honey . abby : hey . ashley : you okay ? abby : well , dina 's really leaving . her car will be here any minute . victor : you 're really upset . i 'm sorry . but you can always visit your grandmother in paris . abby : yeah , that 's what she said , um ... victor : yeah . abby : you know what -- i got to get back to work . um , i have some things to take care of . victor : back to work this late ? ashley : [ sighs ] who are you looking for ? graham : for abby . ashley : for abby ? victor : excuse me . and your name is ... ? graham : mr. newman , i 'm graham . victor : hi , graham . and why are you looking for my daughter ? graham : i have a message from dina . ashley : i think dina 's done enough damage . graham : abby 's gon na want to hear this . ashley : really ? well , why do n't you tell me what dina has to say , and then i 'll decide whether i tell abby . graham : fine . dina wants her to know that there 's been a change of plans . she 's staying in town after all . kevin : hey , how did you end up here -- with him ? chloe : i showed up on his doorstep . dr. harris was the only person who really cared about me at the hospital . to everyone else , i was just a number . so when i left genoa city , he admitted that he made a mistake when he released me when he did . so i knew that i could trust him . and he promised that he would make it up to me . kevin : by helping you fake your death ? chloe : i know -- it is unforgivable . i could n't let chelsea and nick find me . i could n't let the cops find me . i mean , i - i was not going to go to prison . dr. harris : with this little stunt , that 's exactly where you might end up . mariah : if you 're up front and honest , even the newmans can be understanding . i mean , i was neither of those things when i got here . i thought sharon was never gon na forgive me for what i did to her . tessa : what 'd you do ? mariah : oh ... i pretended to be my dead twin sister 's ghost so i could haunt her . tessa : [ laughs ] mariah : in my defense , it was n't my idea . i was paid to do it . tessa : [ laughs ] okay . all right . you do n't have to make up some excuse to make me feel better . oh ! you 're not kidding ? mariah : no . tessa : oh ! wh -- you have to tell me everything . mariah : yeah . i will . just over something much , much stronger than tea . tessa : okay . deal . what 's going on with her today ? mariah : who ? sharon ? tessa : yeah . she gave me the evil eye when i walked in and keeps looking over here like i 'm gon na steal sugar packets or something . mariah : i ... did n't notice anything . tessa : i do n't think she likes me very much . probably wants noah to date someone who 's not me . mariah : no . sharon 's a really good mom . she just wants her kids to be happy . if you give her a chance to get to know you better , she will back off . i promise . sharon : so , i heard tessa say something , you know , a little disturbing earlier . scott : well , do n't keep me in suspense . sharon : she said she has to find a way to make things right with nikki . scott : oh , well , that sounds downright diabolical . sharon : well , that `` way `` is my son . scott : you lost me . sharon : nikki is tessa 's meal ticket . and she 's using noah to keep the gravy train rolling . jack : dad tried to assure me and the girls that our mother would be back . the look on his face when he hung up the phone when dina told him she would n't be back at all ... i 'll never forget it . nikki : well , of course not . one of the most significant moments of your life . jack : when your mother abandons you like that ... so many of the things you believe , you -- things you count on , you start to question . i mean , when the woman that gives birth to you walks out the door and never looks back , who do you trust ? nikki : you were at a difficult age , too . those teen years . jack : you know what ? i 'm not sure age has anything to do with it . losing your mother that way is soul - crushing . for my dad , my ... dad tried hard . he was great . he was a different man after he hung up the phone . it 's like part of him died that day . changed me , too . nikki : i never knew that you were carrying all this pain around like this . i am so sorry . jack : yeah , maybe it 's a -- it 's a good thing this is all happening . rip that old scar tissue off . nikki : mm . very painful . jack : yeah , it is . particularly the fact that my mother had to take off tonight . nikki : well , have you tried to talk her out of it ? jack : oh , yeah . yeah , i have . ashley has . no , dina has had her fill of family . nikki : maybe ... she just ... does n't want to ... be reminded of all the things that she missed out on . jack : maybe . whatever her reasoning ... i let her back in . and i feel like i 'm losing her all over again . i know that sounds dumb . you ca n't lose what you never had , but ... ah . nikki : well , i 'm glad you called me . i 'm glad that you can trust me enough to share this with me . so , um ... what do you want ? advice or , uh , sympathy ? jack : [ laughs ] i do n't know . what do you got ? nikki : let 's try advice , even though i do n't think that 's the one you would pick . jack : advice . lay it on me . nikki : rejection ... is the worst . there 's the initial pain and then there 's the lingering pain . and the first one , we have no control over that . but the lingering pain ? we can make a decision to not let it get to us . jack : how do we do that ? nikki : by letting it go . just let it go . ashley : what changed dina 's mind ? graham : well , after speaking with your daughter , she decided she wants to spend as much time as possible with her family . ashley : and you 're okay altering your plans ? graham : yes , of course . ashley : were n't you so anxious to get back to paris , graham ? graham : i do what 's best for dina . she 's decided she wants to stay for now , so we 're staying . excuse me . mr. newman ? nice to meet you . victor : thank you . same to you . ashley : any thoughts ? victor : you better watch your mother 's bank accounts , okay ? because given half a chance , that man will drain them dry . dina : [ sobbing ] chloe : kevin wo n't tell a soul . we can trust him . kevin : she 's right . i wo n't say a word -- not to anyone . i do n't want to see her locked up . chloe : see ? we 're all good . kevin : thank you for looking out for chloe until i could get here , but now that i am , i got this . dr. harris : wait just one minute . i do n't know what you 're thinking , but i am not letting the two of you out of my sight . and there is someone who wo n't be pleased with this turn of events . kevin : tell me right now who you 're calling . [ next_on ] cane : you honestly think that i offered her a job in exchange for sex , do n't you ? ! leslie : if you have any information about the case or juliet 's credibility , now is the time to tell me . kevin : i 'm not gon na let anyone lock her up . and i am not leaving here without her . | scott tells victor he wants to resign because he is tired of doing busy work and victor buys the digital media company scott recommended and makes scott the boss of the company . scott demands editorial control over the stories he can post and victor tells him that he can post any story he wants as long as he stays in genoa city . jack remembers when his dad told him that dina had left and was n't coming back and later shares with nikki that he always carries the pain of that day with him . abby tells jack that she will pay him a one time payment to buy him out of the start - up companies deal . at first he is upset but then he agrees to accept the deal as long as ashley can use part of the warehouse for a lab . jack tells abby that dina is leaving town and abby goes to say goodbye . abby 's words persuade dina to stay in town and they also make ashley more suspicious of graham . tessa worries that nikki wo n't be able to forgive her for calling victor and telling him that she was frustrated with her piano practice . kevin arrives in louisiana and she tells him dr. harris helped her fake her own death . kevin thanks dr. harris for his help and tells him that he will take care of chloe now . dr. harris tells kevin he is n't letting the two of them out of his sight and starts to call victor . kevin demands to know who dr. harris is calling and he insists that he is n't leaving without chloe . |

's office . do you think it might have had to do with the bungled investigation of the j.t . hellstrom case ? christine : victor , it was specious lawsuit about something that was put to bed months ago . victor : it may be in your rearview mirror , christine , but ai n't in mine ! i 'm still haunted by the notion that your arrested my wife and my daughter ! christine : yes , and they got off with no jail time . frankly , i think you should be thanking me . victor : are you serious ? you railroaded me and my family . i sat in that damn jail because your stupid , inept detectives believed in some planted evidence . christine : why are you doing this ? victor : because this has done an enormous damage to my reputation , my family , and my business ! christine : and this has nothing to do with the fact that i just launched my re - election campaign ? victor : damn right , it does ! oh ! your re - election campaign . is that coming up now ? christine : i just had a meeting with my biggest political donor who wo n't back my candidacy because of your lawsuit . victor : oh , that breaks my heart . christine : victor , it 's vindictive , even for you . victor : oh ! really ? vindictive , even for me ? do you think it has to do with your inept tenure ? christine : oh , my god . victor : huh ? as a d.a . ? christine : have you thought about what dredging all of this up will mean to your family ? victoria and nikki buried j.t . because they thought they killed him . that is a very unfortunate and very unflattering fact . victor : and you did n't bring charges , did you ? once you found out hellstrom was still alive ! you know why not ? because you did n't want an embarrassing fallout on your reputation , did you ? you rather covered your behind ! christine : that 's not true . victor : of course it 's true ! you know , you 're gon na make a hell of an attack ad for your opponent . i think you and i have discussed this enough . you can show yourself out . thank you . billy : this was good . it 's important that we build off what we accomplished with the launch . it 's also very important that we keep our a game . kyle : we 're on it . billy : thank you , both . kyle : look , i know you love this job , so tell me -- what is going on ? summer : i said it 's nothing , okay ? i 'm fine . kyle : you waiting on a call , or something ? summer : look , i know that i 'm a little off today , i 'm sorry , but it 's nothing that you have worry about , okay ? kyle : okay . i 'm gon na go , then . we 'll talk later ? summer : yeah , i 'll see you later . kyle : hey ! lola : how was your meeting ? kyle : i was pretty much a one - man band , but it was fine . hey . do you think you could come home between the lunch and dinner rush ? lola : maybe . why ? kyle : i 'm not gon na tell you , but i promise it 'll be worth your while . summer : hey , dad , um , it 's me . just -- i do n't know , i hoped that you heard something about mom , but even if you have n't , just call me , please . okay . bye . nick : where is she ? adam : really need better security around here . nick : i 'm right , are n't i ? i suspected it all along . adam : which is ... ? nick : you somehow convinced phyllis to hack into dark horse , and then coerced her into giving you my company financials , and , at the same time , she also coincidentally goes missing . adam : i heard . that 's awful . but i have n't seen her in a couple days . not that i have a reason to . nick : no one has seen her since she came to see you . and then somebody messed with the gcac security footage to cover up what happened . so i 'm gon na ask you one last time . where is she ? adam : why would i want to harm phyllis ? nick : you tell me . adam : okay , let 's assume for a second that phyllis did hack into dark horse for me . this would be a lousy way to thank her . nick : you do n't thank people . you get rid of them when they 're no longer useful to you , and she is the only witness to your crime . adam : what crime ? i did n't do anything to phyllis . but i have to ask -- why do you care ? after everything that she 's done to you . i heard about what happened between you two at the commitment ceremony . frankly , i do n't blame you . but you humiliated her so badly . i mean , who knows what you might have driven her to do ? nick : she got into bed with you , that is not on me . adam : god , you guys have such a love - hate thing . such a fine line . nick : you 're damn right , it is , brother , but the difference is , we do n't enjoy it the way you do . so us non - sociopaths , we do n't relish screwing people over , especially members of our own family . adam : do you really think i 'm the only newman that 's been busy screwing you over ? where do you think i got the money to take your company ? nick : who gave it to you ? dad ? adam : close . dad in a dress . adam : need some water ? nick : vick would n't give you a dime . adam : mm . [ clears throat ] well , a lot of dimes , actually . $ 50 million worth of her own money . and , i have to say , i 'm impressed . that 's how much she wanted me to go away . nick : but you didn't . adam : sadly , no . turns out , she was n't able to meet all of my demands . but i give her an a for effort . she was even able to give me chelsea 's phone number . not sure where she got it , but i ca n't imagine you signed off on that . she did all this behind your back . not to overstep , but maybe you two are n't as close as you think you are . nick : or maybe you just bring out the worst in everyone . sharon : what you walked in on was just a vulnerable moment . rey : oh , that guy does n't have a vulnerable bone in his body . sharon : he has just lost a big chunk of his life . he 's trying to come to terms with the fact that everybody else has now moved on without him . rey : yeah , including you ? sharon : yes . rey : you made that clear to him ? sharon : i have . rey : then he must be a little thick because i do n't think he 's getting the message . he keeps coming over here , you keep rushing over there . i do n't like it , sharon . sharon : i 'm just trying to help him come to terms with his feelings . rey : that 's not your job . sharon : no , i know , but if i can help him get past his grief and his anger , maybe i can keep him from lashing out and doing something that he will regret . rey : he 's already lashing out , and i do n't see any regrets . he stole nick 's company out from under him , and now he 's trying to take his kid . he kidnapped faith ! sharon : i told you ... rey : you forgave him . but he keeps showing us who he is over and over . he is a predator , and he 's dangerous . but you keep inviting him into our home , into our lives . so do n't tell me i do n't have anything to worry about ! [ cellphone rings ] summer : oh , my god . thank god . have you heard anything ? nick : well , i just spoke with paul again . he is doing everything he can . summer : okay , what does that mean ? nick : look , summer , he does n't know much , but we 're gon na talk more about it when i get home , okay ? summer : yeah , okay . lola : summer ? are you okay ? summer : no , i 'm -- i 'm not okay . i 'm -- i 'm scared . something 's going on with my mom . she 's been in a really bad place lately , and now we ca n't find her , and the last time that we spoke , we got in this huge fight , and it was brutal , and ... if something happened to her , i would never be able to forgive myself . lola : hey , this is n't your fault ! summer : you do n't know that . lola : actually , i do . i know what it 's like to worry about your mom when she 's acting sporadic and on edge . victoria : last known number for chelsea . you will take $ 50 million . and you 'll live happily - ever - after . that 's plenty of money . i 've opened up an off - shore account in your name , and i can have the money wired there within 24 hours . adam : all deals are off if this number 's a fake . victoria : i would n't waste my time if it was . adam : because i am only interested in living that life with my family , and that includes christian . victoria : christian belongs with nick . you made that decision a long time ago when you tampered with the dna tests . you have an actual shot at happiness with chelsea and connor . you were ready to leave town with them before the explosion . it 's what you wanted , it was your dream . now i 'm giving you a second chance at that dream , which is more than most people get . if you were smart , you would accept that offer . nick : you have no idea what you 've done . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . sharon : i 'm not making excuses for adam 's behavior or turning a blind eye to it . what he did to nick was despicable and i told him so . it was the worst of who adam used to be . rey : no , who he is . sharon : yes . you know , when he feels cornered , he falls into destructive patterns , and i 'm just trying to offer him some guidance so he sees that he could make a different choice . rey : okay , you are not his therapist , sharon . i did not walk in here seeing him lying on the couch telling you about his dreams . i found him in your arms . sharon : he needed -- rey : i do n't care what he needed ! what was last night about ? sharon : what ? when we made love ? rey : you were ... sharon : passionate ? rey : restless . edgy . not yourself . like you were trying not to think about adam . sharon : that 's not fair . rey : you 're right , it 's not . to me . sharon : rey ... rey : no , i have put up with this . i have tried to be understanding , i 've made excuses , but , you know what , i 've been here before . with mia . i know what this feeling is , and i am not ignoring this time . sharon : this is nothing like that ! rey : something is going on here , sharon . and you are either lying to yourself or you 're lying to me . either way , i can not compete with it . sharon : rey , please do n't leave . christine : hello . paul : oh , hey ! how was your day ? christine : [ sighs ] in a word , victor . paul : oh . enough said . christine : yeah , i went to talk to him about the lawsuit , tried to reason with him ... paul : yeah . christine : i do n't know what i was thinking . it 's like he has a target on my back . oh ! yours , too , by the way . the suit also names the police department . paul : oh ! well , victor does n't scare me . christine : yeah , easy for you to say . you 're not up for re - election . paul : well , i tell you what . let him spin his wheels , pay his lawyers , and if it comes down to it , the city will just settle with him . he 'll get his big win and money he does n't need , and he 'll go away . christine : okay , that 's what worries me . this is n't about money . it 's about revenge . paul : you are a good d.a . with a solid record . and the hellstrom case already got wall - to - wall news coverage . and the newmans hardly came off as innocent rubes . do yourself a favor . forget about them . at least for today . christine : i -- i do n't know if i can . paul : hmm . well , i have something that might help . do n't go away . nick : i mean , you should have seen the look on adam 's face . it was pure joy when he got to tell me that you stabbed me right in the back . victoria : all i did was negotiate with him to try to get him out of our lives . nick : you gave him $ 50 million . victoria : of my own money . nick : which he then used to buy my company , but dark horse was just a bargaining chip because he then try to trade that for my son . victoria : that 's not what i wanted . nick : really ? because you seemed pretty damn eager to meet all his demands . you stole chelsea 's number out of my phone , vick ! victoria : i told you how i felt about that . she deserved to know that he was alive ! and they both deserve to be able to make their own choice about how to deal with it ! nick : so you went behind my back , you deceived me , for what ? what did you get out of it ? your little deal with adam , he used you ! it did nothing but hurt me ! victoria : well , at least i did something . what was i supposed to do , nick ? was i supposed to just sit back and watch him wreak havoc in our lives ? so i took the steps to try to get him to leave town . nick : you mean leave newman , right ? because that 's what this is about . it 's about you and your job and making sure that dad never hires adam over your head . victoria : yes ! okay ? i was thinking of myself ! i was thinking about my dedication and my loyalty and all of the hard work that i have put in to this company ! look , maybe you do n't care if our family company burns to the ground , but i do . nick : well , that 's what it is , right ? it 's what it 's always going to be -- newman enterprises above all else . above me . above my company , my son . we 're all just collateral damage in your climb to the top . victoria : no , that 's not fair . nick : i do n't understand why you ca n't let this go . victoria : why would i do something like that ? i have put my whole self into this company ! i am done being patient and waiting my turn . i am done . i am the one who performs around here and get results but then gets pushed to the side and gets dismissed . for who ? for adam ? he has not one iota of loyalty towards newman enterprises or towards our father ! nick : do n't you see ? he 's getting to you . victoria : maybe so . but i deserve to be c.e.o . when dad steps down . and i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let adam take that away from me . nick : [ sighs ] this is what he wanted , to turn us against each other , and it 's working . victoria : well , he has helped me see the plain and simple truth , which is ... i am the heir apparent of newman enterprises . nobody but me . nick : okay . you can have it . lola : my dad walked out on us while my mom was pregnant with me , so ... she 's the only parent i know . and she 's my everything . i used to look up to her so much . summer : yeah , i know the feeling . lola : but as i got older , i started to see the toll that my dad leaving took on her , like she really never got over it . and do n't get me wrong , she was an incredible mother . old - fashioned , strict . oh , and she smothered us with love . but ... underneath , there was always this rawness from an open wound that never quite healed . summer : yeah , that 's how my mom feels right now.-so wounded , like everything 's being done to her . lola : yeah , and that just makes you want to take care of her , i get it . you know , i still call my mom every single day to make sure she 's okay . so i get it . summer : where 's your ring ? i heard you two got engaged . lola : yeah . it all happened suddenly . summer : well , when he gets around to buying you one , we 'll have to compare . although , i 'm sure that we have very different taste . except in that one area . lola : i hope everything 's okay with your mom . i 'll see you around , summer . paul : oops ! hey ! christine : [ laughs ] oh , my god , what are you doing ? paul : there . that 's better . christine : oh ! when did you have time to plan this ? paul : well , you know , i was gon na surprise you this weekend , but , um , i thought , given the recent circumstances , we should move it up . christine : i can not remember the last time i took an hour an did nothing but relax . paul : well , considering that it 's only gon na get more hectic with your campaign , i just think we need to remember this feeling . you know , we got to take time to decompress . have a grape . [ laughs ] christine : [ laughs ] you 're so right . paul : and just be with each other . christine : i agree . hi ! paul : hi . [ both chuckle ] christine : and , um , victor 's not gon na be able to sabotage me , right ? paul : you know what , everything is gon na be fine . i believe in you . and have i mentioned that , um , i love you ? christine : [ chuckles ] not in the last 4 minutes . [ laughs ] have i mentioned how smart i am to have married you ? paul : oh , once or twice . christine : i really needed this , thank you . paul : you know , no matter what happens with our jobs or with victor or the campaign , we always have each other , right ? christine : yeah . yes . christine : [ sighs ] victoria : you heard me say that i want to be your heir apparent . victor : i did , mm - hmm . victoria : well , i meant it , but you already know that . victor : we will continue this conversation another time , okay ? victoria : yes , of course we will . nikki : oh ! hi , sweetheart . i hope we 're not interrupting anything . victoria : no , it 's okay . am i interrupting something ? victor : nate is here to discuss some business , all right ? i 'm making a donation to the hospital to extend the ms wing . victoria : okay , i 'll leave you to it . but i do want to talk to you , dad . victor : all right . i trust you have the results of the first experimental treatment . nate : i do . victor : so , what do we do nate : unfortunately , your body did n't respond to the treatments as well as we had hoped . victor : so , what do we do now ? nikki : we tell the children what 's going on . and , if you do n't , i will . victor : [ sighs ] billy : hey . victoria : hey . billy : uh - oh . looks like easing into our first day back was a no - go . victoria : [ sighs ] it was more like an 8.0 on the richter scale . nick found out about chelsea and the money that i gave adam . maybe i should n't have tried to deal with him on my own . billy : you got tough when nick wouldn't . i mean , there 's no telling how chelsea 's gon na react to finding out that adam is still alive . maybe our mistake was actually believing that adam would leave town . and , yes , that puts nick in the middle . but adam went after him , not you , and there is no shame in protecting yourself . do n't ever second - guess that . lola : kyle ? kyle : i wanted to make sure i did it right this time . lola . my life is divided into two parts -- before you and after -- the time when i was roaming around in the darkness and after you showed me the light . you 've changed my life -- the way i look at this world ... ... what it means to be in love . so ... i am asking you officially . lola : wait , hold on . okay , go ahead . kyle : [ chuckles ] lola rosales , will you marry me ? lola : yes . kyle : [ laughs ] summer : still no word about mom ? nick : [ sighs ] do n't worry . we 're gon na find her . summer : yeah . i 'm sure that she 'll just turn up with some crazy story that we 'll all laugh about , right ? nick : yeah , sounds about right . summer : [ sighs ] [ cellphone chimes ] | adam apologizes for crossing the line with sharon and tells her he feels lonely and lost since he found out chelsea and connor have a new life and he is n't a part of it . adam hugs sharon and rey walks in to the room just before adam leaves . rey tells sharon that he has been through this before with mia and he does n't want to go through it again so he tells sharon she is either lying to herself or to him about her feelings for adam . nick and summer are woried about about phyllis and paul tells nick he thinks adam knows something about phyllis ' diapperance . nick goes to confront adam who tells him he does n't know anything about phyllis or her whereabouts . adam does however take great pleasure in telling nick victoria gave him chelsea 's phone number and $ 50 millon to leave town and nick is hurt that victoria gave adam the money . nick confronts victoria andtells him that adam used the money she gave him to buy the bank loan on dark horse and take the company away from him since he refused to give him custody of zchristian . victoria tells nick that she never wanted that to happen and as their arguement continues nick gets victoria to admit that she did this because she did n't want adam to have the ceo job when victoir steps down and if she put the company before her family then nick thinks she can have it . nick also thinks victoria gave adam exactly what he wanted which was to turn them against each other . nate tells victor the treatment for his illness is n't working so nikki tells him its time to tell the family and if he does n't want to tell them she will tell them the truth . adam tells his acomplice that he needs to keep an eye on chloe she likes to misbehave and later he gets a message from his acomplice sayimg that they have another big problem . kyle surprises lola at the aparment with a proper marriage proposal and a beautiful ring . |

j.t . : yeah . brad : how 'd she respond ? j.t . : let 's just say it 's gon na take a whole lot more than that . brad : i had breakfast with colleen this morning . i asked her what she was going to be doing this summer . you want to know what she said ? j.t . : what ? brad : she 'd be spending time with her friends . she mentioned lily , she mentioned sierra . she did n't mention you . j.t . : why are you telling me this ? brad : because i want you to know that she 's not gon na be sitting home , waiting to hear from y .. it 's gon na take some time , but she 's gon na get over this . it wo n't be easy , but she will , and hopefully , the next time she gets involved with someone , she 'll be a lot smarter . you know , i should thank youfor teaching her a lesson about trust . it 's too bad she had to learn it the hard way . j.t . : you never hurt anybody you cared about ? brad : this is n't about me , j.t . j.t . : but you have done things you 're not proud of . brad : yeah . j.t . : things you 'd take back if you could . brad : yes , but that is not the point . j.t . : mr. carlton , i love your daughter . i did n't tell her that until it was too late , and lately , i sure as hell have n't been acting like it , but i do . the way i feel about colleen -- i have never felt this way about anyone , ever . i know that probably does n't mean anything to you , and you 're gon na tell me that actions speak louder than words , and you 're right , they do , and i know you hate me right now , and you 'd like nothing more than to drop kick me across this room , but nothing you say or do is gon na make me feel any worse than i already feel , 'cause i lost the one thing -- the one thing that ever really mattered to me , and i got no one to blame but myself . anita : colleen , i really do n't feel this is the appropriate place to discuss this . colleen : oh , so you are ashamed of what you did . good . you should be . anita : look , would you sit down , please ? please , sit down . anita : i assume that you 've spoken with j.t . colleen : yes . anita : and he told you that we only -- we were only together that one time . colleen : yes , he did . anita : i do n't expect you to understand this , but j.t . and i -- look , there is no j.t . and me . it 's over . colleen : well , why did it start in the first place ? anita : that is a long story . look , the last few months have been very difficult for me . i have been dealing with a lot in my marriage and with my daughter , and -- the point is is that i needed to lean on someone , and j.t . was there . one thing led to another , and i just -- i wish nobody else had to find out about it . it was just something that happened . it meant nothing . colleen : nothing ? anita : it does n't not change anything between you and j.t . colleen : how can you say that ? it changes everything . anita : colleen , he still cares about you very much . colleen : that 's what he said . he said that he still loves me , and that he feels terrible , but it 's just a lie . he only feels bad 'cause he got caught . anita : i do n't know what else i can say to you . colleen : how about `` i 'm sorry `` ? anita : i refuse to apologize to a child . colleen : i 'm not a child . anita : well , you 're not a woman . colleen : what is that supposed to mean ? brittany : what 's going on here ? colleen : ask your mother . brittany : do n't you know when to quit ? jill : mother , we have so much to talk about , but could it please wait until this nightmare is over ? charlotte : that 's my point , jill -- ( door opens ) man : hello . esther : oh , it 's reverend parks . come in , reverend . please , come in . brock : abe , welcome . thanks for getting here so soon . reverend parks : how are you ? jill : oh , damn . now mackenzie 's gon na leave us here for another hour looking after that mute invalid . charlotte : do n't talk like that . it 's so unbecoming . jill : you 're taking this mother thing seriously . charlotte : oh , god , honey , that 's just what we need to talk about . brockjijill , uh , the reverend wants you in here . we 're discussing the details of the wedding . jill : brock , i ca n't just walk out and leave my mother . brock : jill , it wo n't take long . come on . jill : ( sighs ) i 'll be back in a minute , all right ? this can wait ? charlotte : sure . jill : you mean that ? charlotte : go ahead . jill : okay . liz : jill , dear ... charlotte : what am i going to do , katherine ? jill : i 'm very pleased to meet you . reverend parks : it 's a pleasure . charlotte : how do i tell her ?

victoria : so , billy 's flying all the way around the world to australia now , which you knew about , but i 'm entirely clueless . why ? why would billy leave town ? stitch : who else is in australia ? melbourne , to be exact . my wife . billy 's going to talk to jenna to see what dirt he can dig up on me . victoria : to drive me away from you . chelsea : i grabbed a photo of connor before i left . billy : you mean you took a picture of him ? chelsea : no , i mean , i actually grabbed a framed photo from the living room . [ chuckles ] i could n't resist . it 's in my bag . it 's a couple months old , though . he looks so different . god , he 's changing so fast . who knows what he 'll look like by the time we get back . billy : am i supposed to feel like a jerk for asking you to come ? chelsea : asking ? you begged . billy : well , you do n't have any free will . you ca n't say no . chelsea : no . it 's that i know how much victoria means to you , and if i can help get the two of you back together , then i can handle a round - trip flight to australia . billy : well , we need to work on a game plan when we land . we got to get stitch 's ex - wife to tell us what he did to make her move halfway around the world . and whatever it is , it 's got to be pretty damn bad . chelsea : if anyone can get her to talk , it 's me . and i will . nick : you hear from her or anything about summer , you call me as soon as you can . you have my number . thank you . jack : [ sighs ] nick : any news ? jack : the police said she used her atm card outside the park last night . no hits on her credit card at all . nick : what about her car ? jack : no sign of that , either . kyle has n't heard from her . nick : same from fen and noah and all of her friends . mom told me that dad has people out looking for summer . jack : well , that 's great . victor using his minions for good . amazing . nick : you know , did you ever think that maybe summer just wanted some time alone , some time to think ? jack : think there 's any hope that maybe she 's not with the cop - shooting mystery man ? nick : it does sound like hope . jack : but it 's not logical . nick : every second she 's gone , this gets less and less logical . [ cell phones chime ] nick : it 's summer . jack : `` i 'm all right . do n't worry about me . `` nick : `` i know what i 'm doing . i love you both `` ? damn it . dylan : hey , you sure you want to be here ? i could take you back to your place or my place , anywhere . avery : no , it does n't matter where i am . i just keep replaying yesterday in my head and all the things i could have done differently . dylan : and it never should have gotten that far . and all that time i wasted thinking ian was 4mj , i could have been tracking down the real guy . avery : look , austin was decent and funny and -- and normal . there was no way we would have known it was him . and now paul is in the icu , one of the best men i know . dylan : yeah , well , that 's on me , too . avery : what are you talking about ? you did what you 're trained to do . dylan : no , i did n't . i did n't listen to paul . i did n't have a plan . i did n't wait for the police . i reacted instead of thinking . that 's not what the army taught me to do . avery : austin was about to shoot me . you knew i needed protection . that 's exactly your training . and just like my training is to protect the innocent . and what i ca n't get past here is that because of that , a man capable of murder went free . austin sees me as the person responsible for his mother 's death , so if we 're gon na throw blame around here , then do n't skip me . christine : two surgeries . you did so great . [ sniffles ] now you just have to heal and , uh , and get stronger . i called your family . heather 's in mumbai with daniel at an art show , and [ sighs ] she 's having a hard time getting back . but once she does get here , i know it would mean so much to her if you could open your eyes . [ voice breaking ] i know it would make her so happy to see your beautiful blue eyes . nikki : doctor , are you treating paul williams ? did you do the surgery ? barton : are you family ? nikki : i 'm a very dear friend . barton : i 'm sorry . i can only share information with direct family . christine : excuse me . i spoke with the doctor on call when paul was brought back from surgery . and there were no more alarms . no more coding . which means he 's gon na be fine , right ? barton : well , we 've stabilized him , yes . christine : exactly . so now you can say he 's gon na recover . barton : i 'm sorry , mrs. williams . i ca n't say that . christine : well , what can you say ? are you telling me i 'm gon na lose my husband ? chelsea : so , before i was a bartender ... billy : a gig you took so you could scam tourists . chelsea : [ sighs ] i had a collection of fake ids -- librarian , dog groomer , meter reader . how would you like to be a census taker ? billy : in australia ? chelsea : jenna 's a recent transplant . she wo n't know what a census badge in australia is supposed to look like . billy : yeah , but she 's gon na know what a person sounds like in australia . chelsea : [ australian accent ] what ? you mean like this ? billy : yeah . [ laughs ] like that . something i can not do . maybe i could be a silent partner , but that might tip her off . chelsea : hmm . [ normal voice ] american census takers who got lost ? no , i do n't think that works , either . uh , maybe she has a dog i can offer to groom . billy : yeah , great . you know , we could find a dog , put it on her doorstep , and offer her a free grooming . yeah , that 'll work . chelsea : okay , it was a joke . you need to calm down . billy : stitch is playing saint , and i know better . it 's my job to protect victoria , and that 's what i 'm going to do . victoria : so , billy 's traipsing across the globe , lies to me about why , but you know because ... ? stitch : it 's complicated . victoria : okay , well , i can follow along . i 'm pretty focused right now . stitch : kelly mentioned it . victoria : billy told kelly ? stitch : okay , it 's not like that . victoria : it 's not like what ? not like he 's still confiding in the woman who helped to hurt our marriage ? it 's not like that ? ! stitch : look , stress does n't do you or the baby any good . okay , kelly is n't the issue . victoria : billy was here spending time with johnny on father 's day , and he let me know again that he would do whatever it took to save our marriage . he was so sincere and so convincing . how is that honest ? how is that trying to fix the problems in our marriage ? stitch : billy 's desperate . that 's all . victoria : what exactly is billy gon na learn ? is there something your ex - wife knows that could hurt you ? austin : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to wake you up . is the bed not comfortable ? summer : i 'm sure it 's better than the chair that you slept in last night . austin : um , i 'll grab some clothes and get dressed . summer : no , no , not yet . austin : no ? summer : i should put a bandage on that first . austin : oh . summer : sit down . um , just tell me if it hurts , okay ? austin : you know , uh , other people would n't do this . summer : put a bandage on you ? austin : you know what i mean . summer : yeah , well , you were bleeding . you needed help . austin : it 's just a flesh wound . summer : it 's more than that . for you to do what you did , it 's deeper . your mom was murdered , and when you lose someone and they do n't fill that spot in your life anymore , you -- you have to figure out who you are without them , and it 's easy to get lost . austin : i kidnapped your aunt , summer . summer : i know . and it was wrong and terrifying and awful , but i do n't think that you 're wrong or terrifying or awful . austin : maybe i 'm just ... not the person that you think i am . summer : maybe you are . avery : so , this client , i 'm convinced at the time , was innocent , and i got him set free , and then he goes out and he kills a woman , austin 's mother . and if i had any idea that he was capable of anything -- dylan : but that 's a big chain of events . it does n't make you responsible . avery : okay , austin is an angry , grief - stricken , traumatized kid . and things got out of control , and now a good , decent man is in the icu , and i keep -- there 's so many `` should haves , `` my head is spinning . dylan : can we stop for two seconds and be grateful that he did n't hurt you ? because i need you safe . and i need you like i 've never needed anyone or anything in my life . i can not lose you . barton : right now we 'll wait and see if the damage control we did to the liver holds . now , paul needs to rest . keep his visitors to a minimum . i had to turn a couple away myself last night . christine : yeah , michael and lauren . i - i can keep them updated by phone . thank you . barton : sure . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] nikki : that doctor has a sterling reputation , christine . and what he said to you about not being able to make promises , he 's just being professional , just being cautious . you must be exhausted . why do n't you go home and get some rest or just go to the cafeteria , take a walk or something ? i 'll stay here , and i 'll let you know -- christine : you 'll stay ? [ chuckles ] you 'll let me know ? i am paul 's wife , nikki . me . i will look after my husband . you can go . nick : summer 's not answering her phone . jack : she 's not responding to texts , either . nick : she probably turned it off the second she hit `` send . `` jack : she has her phone , though . she 's not contacting us , but she 's choosing not to contact us . nick : so she 's safe . that 's good , but it 's not good enough . jack : officer , thank you for coming by . uh , we got a text from my daughter , summer . uh , she is with this austin travers of her own volition . nick : the text sounded like she was saying goodbye . i tried to track her phone using the gps , but she must have turned it off . officer : texts can be harder to track , but we 'll start looking . nick : well , here 's the thing . we think that she 's with this guy who shot the chief of police , but summer is innocent . jack : oh , the officer knows that , right ? my daughter is innocent in all of this . officer : we 're looking for the guy who shot the chief . but if someone 's helping him , we need to know that . any more messages , let us know . otherwise , let us handle it . nick : [ sighs ] what the hell is summer thinking ? [ cell phone clatters ] austin : look , we -- we probably , um ... summer : what ? austin : it 's just -- it 's not a good idea . summer : is it because you do n't want to kiss me ? austin : no , no . it 's -- look , we , uh , we have to check out soon . summer : uh , no , we -- we do n't . i paid extra . austin : does n't mean we can sit here and pretend this is a date . summer : i 'm not pretending . i know what this is . austin : i want to stay with you , and i want to kiss you , but we have to get to the canadian border , and i go away , and you go home . summer : no , no . it does n't have to be like that . billy : you know , maybe we could follow her to a park and casually sit and talk about our kids and missing the u.s. and it would n't be all creepy , not having a kid at the playground . chelsea : well , then we 'll find another way . billy : yeah , and if we do n't , stitch gets to be the hero and i 'm the jealous husband sucking on sour grapes . chelsea : i 'm a con . you 're a gambler . we 'll figure it out . billy : chelsea , victoria 's finally pregnant . and this father 's day , i got to spend time with my son . i 'm missing the hell out of delia . next father 's day , i do n't want to have to knock on the front door of my own home asking rayburn if i can spend time with my son and johnny 's new little brother or sister . chelsea : it wo n't be like that . i wo n't let it . adam set all of this into motion . my husband was responsible for your family falling apart , so you have to believe me . i swear to you , i will get jenna to talk . billy : and if you ca n't ? chelsea : we can . we will . billy : all right . stitch : billy probably wants to find out what made me a bad enough husband that jenna would take off . victoria : what ? lying ? cheating ? he has no right to judge other marriages or other husbands . i 'm sorry , but for him to exploit something so painful for you ... stitch : he wants you back . victoria : it 's disgusting ! you 're entitled to your privacy ! and when you 're ready to tell me what happened in your marriage , then you will . stitch : you have every reason to wonder , to ask , but you do n't push . that 's every reason why maybe it 's -- it 's time i go on and tell you . victoria : i know what kind of a man you are . and for billy to second - guess my judgment , it 's insulting . everybody 's got a past , especially billy . stitch : this is true , but ... sometimes the past can catch up to you , and that 's -- that 's why maybe it 's time for me to -- victoria : this is just exactly like something my father would do . he and billy are so much alike , it 's ridiculous ! stitch : okay , all right , victoria , stop ! i need you to hear me out . now . victoria : what do you have to tell me , ben ? [ knock on door ] victoria : oh . that could be about my niece . stitch : of course . victoria : be right back . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : hi . victoria : mom , hi . stitch : rayburn . victoria : come on . any word on summer ? nikki : um , no . not yet . victoria : how 's paul ? nikki : [ sighs ] i do n't know . i - i just came from the hospital . stitch : okay , tracy , i 'm on my way . nikki : i - i 'm sorry . i - i 'm interrupting . victoria : no , mom , hold on . wait . you have to go ? stitch : chief resident needs me on duty . it 's an emergency . nikki : it 's not about paul , is it ? stitch : i 'm sorry , nikki . he did n't say . talk about it later ? victoria : yeah . of course . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] nikki : darling , i 'm sorry . was that about the baby ? victoria : no , no , no , no . tell me about paul . nikki : well , he 's in the icu , and , uh , summer is missing . things could n't be worse . victoria : mom . they 're gon na find summer , and paul , he 's gon na survive , okay ? he has to . nikki : baby , the doctor ca n't promise that . and neither can you . [ voice breaking ] i mean , we could be losing him right now . he could be slipping away from us right now . victoria : mom , it 's okay . nikki : [ sobs ] victoria : shh . it 's okay . christine : after all this time , we ... we finally got it right . being together ... just us ... loving each other and nobody else . i 'm not gon na give up on you ... or us or -- or adding to our family . oh , come on , paul , you are so strong , and you are so stubborn , and you have to use all of that right now , because we still have so many years ahead . and maybe it will be with a daughter or a son . but no matter what ... i do n't want to miss one moment that i have with you . dylan : okay , this is n't helping paul , you thinking this is somehow your fault . avery : well , you 're doing the same thing . dylan : okay . then let 's just stop . just prayers and good thoughts for him . the guy 's done a lot for me . avery : oh , me , too . he 's such a good man , and he 's been such a good friend to nikki since they were practically kids . i mean , those two are like family after all these years . dylan : i actually have a new family because of him . and i never would have found out nikki was my mother . avery : hey . i know you want to see him . dylan : well , austin 's probably miles away , but that does n't mean i 'm gon na leave you alone again . avery : well , good for you that i do n't want to leave you alone , either , so let 's go see paul together . come on . summer : let me help you . why did you do that ? austin : do what ? summer : walk away when i said we did n't have to say goodbye . austin : i had to put pants on . hey . and we do have to say goodbye . we ca n't stay here forever . summer : no , but you can come back to genoa city with me . austin : you saw the news . i 'm as good as dead . summer : it was an accident . austin : i had a gun . summer : which you did not mean to fire . austin : i meant to scare avery into a confession . that happened . that was real . summer : yeah , and i know my aunt , and she would be the first person to defend you . austin : like she defended the guy who killed my mother . summer : look , i 'm just trying to help you . austin : you ca n't . okay , you ca n't help . he 's the chief of police , summer . no one will forgive me . no one will understand . i have to go to canada and hope , pray , that no one ever finds me . summer : no . us . i 'm not gon na let you go without me . nick : there 's got to be a better way to find summer than just waiting around for the police to trace a text . jack : this is my first father 's day as summer 's dad . nick : yeah , i hear you . couple weeks ago ... came across this . jack : summer make that ? nick : yeah . for father 's day . i assume phyllis helped her . jack : that 's pretty special on both counts . nick : yeah . summer 's had it pretty rough over the years . she finally deserved a chance to just be a young woman and to -- to live life , and then she runs across this good - looking older guy who turns out to be some gun - toting stalker . explain to me when summer found this out about him , why did n't she run the other direction ? jack : not many women can resist a man they think they can fix . nick : yeah , i 'm not buying it . summer knew better than this . jack : you think he forced her to send those texts , or worse still , he has her phone ? nick : i think summer wants to be with this guy . maybe she 's not trying to save him . jack : then what ? nick : i do n't know . maybe she was looking for a reason to leave town and she found it in him . jack : why would she want to leave genoa city ? what are you saying , nick ? nick : summer has been torn up for months , ever since you started dating kelly . it 's as much as admitting to summer that you do n't think phyllis is gon na recover . jack : you 're saying it 's my fault that summer took off ? billy : sleeping ? i wanted to apologize for being a jerk , putting you in the middle of this and busting your chops . i think you 're wonderful , chelsea , and you 're a pro . leaving connor to save my butt and help me get victoria back . and i know i can be a lunatic when it comes to her , but ... she saved me . she reached out her hand that new year 's eve , and at that moment , she -- she was it . you say you 're a con artist and people see you and they only see adam 's widow , but not me . you 're a hell of a person to have on my side . and that 's the reason why i brought you here . because if anybody can help me , it 's you . so , thank you . [ sighs ] stitch : come on , jenna . are you even listening to your messages ? look , someone is coming to see you . they 're gon na ask questions about me . i am begging you , tell him nothing , okay ? there 's someone else i need to explain all this to first . please . barton : get off the phone and get to work , doctor . stitch : oh , yeah , of course . uh , tracy called me in , sir . what 's the priority ? barton : i have to scrub in on another patient . i need you to put williams on the list for a liver transplant now . stitch : yes , sir . christine : a liver transplant ? is that his only hope ? victoria : oh , mom , i 'm so sorry , but , you know , just because the doctor 's being cautious , listen to me , paul is strong . he is . nikki : you know , other than your aunt casey , i have known him . he has been my friend longer than anybody . even your father . victoria : yeah . nikki : even katherine . [ sniffles ] he 's just been such a good , loyal friend all these years . victoria : i know . and sometimes even more . nikki : [ chuckles ] yes . sometimes . [ sniffles ] oh , gosh , when we were teenagers , crazy things we did . skinny dipping in the pool and ice - cream cones and ... [ sighs ] oh , that damn new world . but he just was always my best friend , so kind and loyal . [ sighs ] victoria : you love each other , and that 's unbreakable . nikki : you know , even after i broke our engagement , we were able somehow to find our way back to being friends . that is so rare . and then he gave me the greatest gift he ever could have . he kept my secret about dylan . and he helped me find him . he helped me find my son . i mean , how do i -- how do i repay him for that ? [ sobbing ] what if he does n't wake up , victoria ? victoria : mom , please . i 'm so sorry . i know this is hard , okay ? i know it 's so hard , but there is something you can do . you can pray , and you can be strong , and you can stay away from the `` what ifs . `` just be positive , okay ? be brave . be like paul . nikki : oh , that 's good . that 's good . thank you . i - i will . i will . victoria : mom , i would have come to you at the hospital . i know that 's where you want to be right now . by paul 's side . nikki : he 's gon na be okay . victoria : of course he 's gon na be okay . [ footsteps approach ] avery : christine . christine . hi . we just wanted to check and see how paul 's doing . dylan : yeah . can we get you anything ? food ? coffee ? avery : has he woken up since the surgery ? christine : he 's gon na need a liver transplant . the timing is crucial , and if it does n't happen soon ... christine : i 'm sorry . i 'm -- i 'm fine . avery : it 's okay not to be fine . you can have a few tears and still keep the faith . dylan : christine , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . christine : what is it ? what ? avery : dylan . dylan : paul told me to stay at the station , and i did n't listen . christine : stop . paul would n't have listened to someone who would have said that , not when someone he cared about was in danger . he would have done the same thing . so this is not your fault . it 's nobody 's fault except for the person who pulled the trigger . stitch : i checked the database for donor matches . nothing yet . not a lot of search options given his blood type . christine : i 've called his brothers , and his daughter , heather , is on her way back from india . stitch : was she ever a patient here ? christine : yeah . why ? stitch : her blood type would be in the system . we can check and see . christine : oh , yes . please do that . her name is heather stevens . stitch : okay . christine : thank you . she may be able to save her father . victoria : christine kicked you out ? nikki : yeah . and she 's always so calm and controlled . how can you be calm when your husband is fighting for his life ? victoria : but all you wanted to do was support paul . nikki : i do n't think she saw it that way . i think she felt i was intruding . victoria : you know , she 's probably feeling a lot of frustration and anger right now all mixed together with fear and worry and ... you know what i think back about , how billy pushed me away after dee dee died ? i took that all very personally , and i stayed away . nikki : baby , you were just giving him space . victoria : well , now there 's more space between us than i could have ever imagined . nikki : now that i think about it , christine and i have never really been close . victoria : but you and paul are . do n't stay away , mom . whether it 's for your sake or paul 's or christine , you know exactly where you should be right now . do n't let anybody stop you . nikki : [ sniffles ] jack : wait . you 're saying it 's my fault that summer took off ? nick : i 'm not blaming anyone . i 'm just pointing out the facts . jack : that i 'm seeing a woman that is not summer 's mother ? that 's a fact you 're pointing out . nick : summer 's very upset . she 's run away for a lot less than this . trust me . jack : you really want to play this game , who has hurt summer the most ? this is not the time for this . nick : yeah , i hurt her . i know that . it kills me . i hate everything that happened . but it 's been a year . i really thought we were past this . i did n't think she was gon na run away again , that she was home for good . but , jack , i 'm terrified that i wo n't get to see summer again . jack : so am i . look , we both hurt her . we just have to hope like hell we can get her back here , and then we can both make it up to her . nick : you 're right . you 're right . so let 's do that . let 's find a way to bring her home . jack : that 's the only thing that matters right now . austin : you ca n't run off with me . summer : yes , i can . i wanted to leave genoa city so many times , but it was always to -- to run away . with you , i 'd be running to something . austin : it would still be running away . from family , friends , college , a normal life . summer : i have never had a normal life . not for one day or for one second , and you and me saying goodbye to each other is n't gon na just magically make my life normal . my mom wo n't , you know , wake up and be healthy . i wo n't just have one dad . austin : is two dads really that bad ? they both love you . summer : and i love them back . i - i do , but it -- it hurts them both . every hour that i spend with one dad , i hurt the other , so i just -- i spend time alone . i just sit in the apartment that i lived with my mom , and my mom never comes home . she never walks through that door . her home is a hospital bed , and i - i fly down to georgia less and less , and i hold her hand less and less , and home -- home does n't feel like home anymore . i do n't feel like me . but with you , i f -- i feel almost normal . i do n't feel guilty laughing . i do n't -- i do n't feel stupid , like all i do is make mistakes all the time . austin : you 're not like that . summer : and neither are you , okay , no matter what has happened so far . and i know that this is fast and it 's soon , but ... is it wrong that i feel that way with y ? austin : no . no , it 's not wrong , and i feel it , too . summer : okay , that 's good . that 's -- that 's right . that 's good . and we have every reason in the world to start a new life together . okay , we -- we start today , and we just -- we leave all the rest behind . austin : it would be incredible to be with you anywhere . but i have to go . and you ca n't come with me . summer : yes , i can . i just gave you all the reasons i can . were n't you listening ? austin : summer . summer : it 's okay . austin : but you said your first time , it should be special . summer : and it will be because it 's you . do n't you want me ? nick : guy on the run with a girl who 's fallen for him . jack : any of that sound familiar ? nick : lily and daniel . i blamed daniel for what happened with cassie . i know it was n't his fault . but we know for a fact this time austin shot paul . jack : we know this austin travers is n't a hardened criminal , too . nick : yeah , he 's just some guy who 's torn up over the murder of his mother , but it does n't mean he 's not dangerous . jack : he 's angry . he wants justice . he did n't think this all through . now he 's got paul in icu . i 'm sure that was not part of his plan . nick : so he panicked and takes off . summer goes with him . willingly . jack : they worry what happens . get arrested , go to prison , get separated . i know what i would have done at their age . nick : run like hell to canada ? billy : so , this is the right plan ? chelsea : everyone loves tv . you look tvish . billy : [ chuckles ] so do you . ish .

[ clears throat ] americans taking up residence in other countries . chelsea : the u.s. consulate gave us your information , and we would love you to be a part of our show . may we come in ? jenna : slow down . um , a tv show ? do you have i.d . ? chelsea : ksk productions . jenna : this is a little bizarre . billy : [ laughs ] is n't it ? well , actually , it 's normal for us , but , uh , you know , it 's really , really nice to meet somebody who is n't trying to just become an overnight star . and wow , you know , you have better cheekbones than anyone we 've talked to . it 's incredible , right ? jenna : uh , thank you , but you do n't need to hard - sell me on my bone structure . chelsea : sorry . liam just gets a little over - eager . we 're just looking to get the best sample of ex - pats possible . smart and articulate is what we 're looking for . billy : and having good cheekbones is n't a bad thing . can we take a few minutes ? if you do n't decide to do the show , you can kick us right out . jenna : [ sighs ] come on in . christine : did you check heather 's records ? stitch : sorry . she 's not a match . christine : what ? this is so unfair . paul is such a good guy . he would be the first person in line to help someone else out . avery : hey , the search for a match is n't over . there 's still time . christine : is there ? ! i 'm sorry . [ voice breaking ] i 'm gon na go to the chapel . i am asking you , please ... find someone to save my husband . avery : please tell me i did n't just lie to her . there is still time to save paul , is n't there ? nikki : what 's going on ? what 's happened ? dylan : paul needs a liver transplant . nikki : oh , no . stitch : and we 're not having much luck finding a donor . nikki : oh , dear god . dylan : his -- his siblings could help , right ? stitch : ca n't reach his brothers , and his sister is non compos , so she ca n't give consent . nikki : well , you can test me . i 'm gon na call nicholas . i 'm gon na call victor , everybody that i can think of . avery : i 'm sure everybody at the gcpd is gon na want to be tested . nikki : yes ! stitch : that 'd be good , but paul 's blood type is what 's giving us trouble . it 's very rare -- ab negative . nikki : oh . dylan : stitch , i 'm -- i 'm ab negative . avery : you are ? nikki : what ? stitch : you could be a donor . nikki : dylan . you could save paul 's life . oh , my god . [ next_on ] nick : what are you talking about ? sharon : move in with me . ian : i 'm glad to see you 're okay . avery : you ca n't imagine how little that means to me . jack : my daughter is on her way out of the country with a fugitive , and you do n't seem to have done much about that ! harding : we have an apb out on travers and your daughter . | summer and austin hide in a hotel room while she tends to the bullet wound in his shoulder . austin plans to run away to canada and send summer back home , but she persuades him to let her go with him because even though she loves her two fathers she does n't like hurting them every time one of them finds out she is spending time with the other . summer also tells austin she feels happy when she is with him because he understands her . summer wants to make love to austin even though he thinks her first time should be special . summer tells austin that her first time will be special , because she will be with him and that is all that matters . nick thinks jack is to blame for summer helping austin , because she has been upset that he is dating kelly . jack and nick try to think like summer and wonder where she could be . they remember when lily and daniel ran away and that leads them to suspect that austin and summer are heading to canada . |
phyllis : you want to tell jack about us ? that we slept together ? billy : we do n't have a choice . phyllis : you are forcing the choice . if you tell jack , he will divorce me . billy : come on . my brother 's not an idiot . he 's not gon na let you go . phyllis : let me go . [ stammers ] i - i love him . billy : this is the only way that we can fix this , phyllis . okay , we -- we have -- we have to tell him . we have to tell him today . phyllis : why ? billy : because he 's going to find out . somebody 's gon na tell him . and it might even be bethany . phyllis : oh , she 's not gon na do that . billy : she might not do it intentionally , but you saw her tonight , okay ? my -- my pretend girlfriend , her mouth does n't bypass her brain . she does n't have a filter . look , if ... if we tell jack , if we tell him now , at least we can explain . phyllis : explain ? how do i explain to my husband when i do n't even know what this is between us ? jack : hilary ? hilary , you okay ? lily : hi . a woman just fainted at the athletic club , and we ca n't get her to -- no , yeah , she 's breathing . jack : thank god . hilary , are you all right ? lily : oh , well , wait . her eyes just opened up . is she okay ? hilary : what -- what happened ? cane : you passed out . do n't move , do n't move . jack : no , no . just take it easy . the paramedics are on their way , okay ? hilary : no . no , no , no . i do n't need that . i 'm fine . i 'm fine . cane : you were unconscious . hilary : i 'm okay . really , i 'm okay . um , can you just help me up , please ? jack : yeah . no , here . take it slow . take it slow . lily : yeah , it 's okay . never mind . it seems like the emergency was n't an emergency , after all . thank you . well , told you she was faking it . dylan : you have been a difficult man to track down , dr. neville . ashley said you 'd be at the hospital , but nobody had seen you . dr. neville : oh , well , certainly because , uh , ms. abbot was unaware that i had detoured here for a much - needed drink . dylan : mm . dr. neville : until we bumped into each other . ashley : and i told him that the police wanted to talk to him . dr. neville : uh , so , i mean , now that we 're all here , how can i be of service , detective ? dylan : you know this guy ? dr. neville : of course . he 's the , uh , medical lab technician . he 's been working on our drug trial . why ? dylan : because he 's dead . he killed himself earlier today . dr. neville : i 'm sorry to hear that . it 's a tragic waste . uh , not that i knew the man very well , but he was good at his job . dylan : which was what , exactly ? dr. neville : he ran the patients ' blood work , and was responsible for sending the results off to the fda . dylan : why did n't you run the blood work yourself ? ashley : well , it 's normal operating procedure . you know , you just use an -- an independent laboratory just to make sure there 's no improprieties for the testing . dylan : but there 's ways around that , right ? like paying a guy to alter the reports before they 're sent off ? is that what you did , dr. neville ? sage : wake up , sharon . i said wake up ! sharon : sage ? sage : how could you do this to me ? my dying wish was that you tell nick the truth . that sully is christian . sharon : i could n't do it . i could n't break dylan 's heart and lose my son . sage : he 's my son ! and nick 's . sharon : i love that little boy . sage : if you love him , tell the truth . my precious boy is being kept from his real father , and my husband is mourning a child he never lost because you are cruel and you are selfish . how do you live with yourself ? mariah : hey . sharon : [ gasps ] mariah : what are you looking for ? sharon : her ... mariah : who ? mariah : what do you mean you saw sage ? sharon : in a dream . [ sighs ] it was terrible . sage was yelling at me for not carrying out her dying wish . mariah : you 're feeling guilty about not telling nick the truth , so your subconscious is beating you up in your sleep . it 's just a dream . sharon : was it ? mariah : sage is dead . she 's not coming back . sharon : no , i know that . i watched her die . i was with her when she took her last breath . mariah : then what are you asking me ? sharon : sage is supposed to be resting in peace . but how can she ? how can -- how can there be any peace for her when i 'm still lying to everyone about her son ? phyllis : how did we get here ? how did we get in so deep ? billy : i think it 's called chemistry . phyllis : [ scoffs ] chemistry . you -- of all the men in the world to have chemistry with , it -- it was jack 's brother . i - i have a list 10 miles long of dumb moves i 've made in my life , and this tops it . billy : wow , that bad , huh ? phyllis : yeah . you 're the worst , i think . billy : well , thanks for making me feel all warms and fuzzy . phyllis : if you want to tell jack about us ... i ca n't do that until i figure us out . and i love him . but he deserves better from me , and i could have at least had the basic decency to not sleep with his brother . i mean , i do n't know what the hell is wrong with me . billy : you can blame it on a mutual tendency to self - sabotage . phyllis : oh , that 's not an excuse . billy : no , it 's not . but it worked for me for a while . i mean , i was able to not think about jack or what this might do to him . phyllis : when did that change ? billy : tonight . sitting at the table with the two of you , listening to bethany make those comments in front of him , it ... it was killing me . phyllis : me too . billy : [ sighs ] i got issues with my brother , but i do n't -- i do n't want him to hurt . what 's worse is seeing what this is doing to you . i ca n't stand it . because i want you . i want you here with me . phyllis : billy ... billy : you -- you do n't have to say anything , because i know that it ca n't happen . which is why ... we have to tell him . phyllis : and once he knows the truth ? billy : we ca n't pretend anymore . we ca n't get away with it . it 's the only way to end what 's going on between us . hilary : i did n't fake passing out for attention or sympathy or whatever insane motive you 're ascribing to me . lily : well , then why do n't you go to the hospital to get checked out ? hilary : because i do n't -- lily : oh , wait . i know why . because you know damn well the doctors will say that nothing 's wrong with you . that 's why . hilary : i know what 's wrong with me . jack : what ? hilary : you know , i skipped lunch , and i did n't have dinner , and my blood sugar is low . lily yelling at me like a lunatic is n't helping matters . cane , can you please just get us a waiter ? um , there 's some business that i still need to wrap up with jack . cane : sure . jack : you know what , work can wait . you need to take it easy . let me get you up to your suite , and then i will order you some room service . hilary : no , i ca n't impose on you like that , jack . jack : you 're not imposing . i want to help . hilary : all right . if you insist . jack : yeah . come on . slowly . slowly . use the rail . dr. neville : dylan , am i being charged with something ? dylan : i mean , it depends on the answers i get . dr. neville : well , what is it you think i did ? dylan : well , uh , this lab tech received a large sum of money , and the money was traced back to the medical - research project that you and ashley are running . dr. neville : how large a sum ? dylan : well , more than this guy would see in several years . dr. neville : and you think he , what , killed himself because he was caught with this money ? dylan : well , i mean , there 's a lot of factors at play . we 're still waiting on toxicology and medical reports . um , the guy did seem a little unstable , but right now i 'm just concerned about the fraud and the bribe . when i talked to hilary , she did say that she pays the employees based on reports that you give her . dr. neville : uh ... dylan : right ? dr. neville : i guess that 's so , yes . dylan : okay . then she claims that she does not have any personal contact with the medical staff , that you are involved with everybody in the testing procedures . is that correct ? dr. neville : to a certain extent . [ sighs ] detective ... ashley : yes , that 's how things are usually handled with our project , but not this time . dylan : not this time . what 's different this time ? ashley : i took it upon myself to meet with this lab tech . and then i altered the payroll report . dr. neville : ashley , do n't . ashley : i have to do this . i offered that man a huge amount of money . dylan : in return for ? ashley : falsifying the research results before they were sent to the fda . mariah : sharon , have you taken your meds today ? sharon : yes , mariah . this is not about that . mariah : are you sure that you have n't been skipping any days ? sharon : i promise you i have stuck to my regimen , okay ? this was a nightmare . it 's not about having visions of sage . i 'm not losing it . this is about sully . mariah : okay , what -- sharon : and not telling anyone the truth . that is wrong . mariah : what about all the reasons that you laid out for me ? that it 's what 's best for sully because you 're the only mother that he 's ever known , and it 's what 's best for dylan because he would be crushed if he lost that kid . sharon : he would . mariah : what about you telling me , convincing me that our family would be pulverized if nick found out that sully is his ? and now , because you had one scary dream , none of that 's important ? sharon : nick is important , too , and -- and so is the truth . this is so hard . mariah : okay . okay . so , you want to go there , let 's go there . but you have to think it through . so , say you follow some nightmare - provoked impulse and you decide to tell nick the truth . what happens ? sharon : nick would be so happy . mariah : and angry . dylan would ... he would fall apart . faith . and not to mention , seeing your family implode like that would probably send you spiraling out of control , which would be lousy for everyone . sharon : so i should n't tell nick the truth even if it 's the right thing to do ? mariah : no , i 'm not saying that . you just have to think it through . you have to consider all of the consequences for everyone , including yourself before you do anything . dr. neville : not another word . ms. abbott has nothing else to say without an attorney present . ashley : it 's okay , neville . dylan : so you 're admitting that you bribed the lab tech ? dr. neville : no , she 's not . ashley : yes , i am . is this where you read me my rights ? dylan : if i believed you . but your colleague here , he 's the one with the reputation for bucking the rules . ashley , you have integrity . think about what you 're saying right now . you 're telling me that you falsified medical reports , and you could put people 's lives in danger . why -- why would you risk that ? dr. neville : she would n't . why are you saying these things ? ashley : because this drug is gon na save people 's lives . you 're making a few minor adjustments . that 's what you 're working on right now . my actions are buying us time for you to make those adjustments . dylan : the patients ... ashley : they 're gon na meet the necessary milestones for the fda to pass this drug . i 'm certain of it . all i was doing ... i was just moving the numbers along so they would n't get bogged down in red tape . dylan : then you committed fraud . dr. neville : so what happens now ? dylan : oh , i got to go back to the chief . i got to tell him . he 's gon na pass the information along to the fda . and i guess you should be prepared to face criminal charges . dr. neville : [ sighs ] ashley : okay . just make sure that everybody knows that neville had nothing to do with this . these were my actions . because his work has to -- it has to remain above reproach . dylan : yeah , i 'll pass that along . dr. neville : what are you thinking ? ashley : i have to protect the project . i have to protect you . lily : god , men can be so clueless . i mean , hilary is so blatant about what she 's doing . cane : wow . you know , i actually resent being lumped in with these clueless men . 'cause , you know , i 'm one of the very few people who know how conniving she is . lily : well , then what 's wrong with jack ? and devon refuses to see who she really is . cane : here . you can call him , and you can tell him all about her latest and greatest . lily : yeah , about her fake fainting spell ? no , thank you . it 's just gon na feed into her games . and did you see jack 's reaction ? i 'm trying to tell him that she 's just targeting him as her next sugar daddy , but he wo n't listen . cane : that 's 'cause he has no reason to suspect she 's anything but above board . lily : yeah , but i told him . cane : sweetheart , sweetheart , he does not know that she 's blackmailing our entire family . as far as he 's concerned , she 's a devoted wife who 's doing great work at the foundation . so he has no reason to suspect anything otherwise . lily : well , he needs to open his eyes . otherwise his faith in hilary is gon na come back to bite him . [ drawer slams ] jack : okay , room service should be here momentarily . is there anything else i can do for you ? hilary : no . thank you , jack , for all of your help . i 'm feeling much better already , really . jack : you sure about that ? hilary : positive . come on , are you sure that you do n't want to get some work done ? jack : no , no , no . not tonight . though , if you have the energy , there is something i think we should talk about . hilary : anything . jack : earlier , lily accused you of looking to me for something more than a professional relationship . hilary : please , jack , you can not believe that . you ca n't believe that i view you as anything more than a business associate and a friend . jack : i would not bring any of this up were it not for a valentine 's day two years ago ... hilary : the delia benefit . jack : ... when you kissed me . hilary : please do n't remind me , okay ? it was very embarrassing . jack : we were business associates then , too . i want to make sure there is no misunderstanding between the two of us . hilary : there is n't , really . jack : i value your contribution to the foundation team . i appreciate our friendship . hilary : okay , jack -- jack : but i 'm a happily married man . hilary : jack , please , stop . okay . i know that you love phyllis , just like i love devon . there is absolutely no truth to lily 's accusation . jack : then why would she say that ? hilary : [ sighs ] because that woman has never liked me . this is what she does . she tries to poison people against me . jack : okay . that aside , you are clear on where i stand ? hilary : yes , i am . jack : okay . i 'm glad we straightened that out . hilary : but you 're -- you 're looking at me differently . you think that i 'm keeping something from you . jack : are you keeping something from me ? if we 're gon na work together , we need to be able to trust each other . hilary : there is something . it 's not what you think . the truth is , i lied downstairs . i 'm not fine . i 'm actually very sick . phyllis : all right , so that 's it . we will end it , um , you know , in a couple of days . once the dust settles -- billy : no , no , no . not a couple of days . we got to do it tonight . phyllis : tonight ? billy : yes , tonight . we only slept together once , and if we wait , then that 's ... [ sighs ] phyllis : okay , i get it . um , tonight . we 'll -- we 'll do that . i just ... i keep thinking of the pain that this is gon na cause jack . i do n't even know what to say . billy : just tell him the truth . we did n't mean for it to happen . it only happened the one time , and we feel like we have to come clean . phyllis : it does not make a difference how many sincere words we use or how regretful we are . he 's not gon na forgive us . billy : do n't underestimate how much my brother loves you . phyllis : i cheated on him before . i lost him . billy : and he 'll yell . and he 's gon na threaten . and he 's gon na get all righteous on you . and , in time , he will do what he always does . he will come back to you , because he does n't want a life without you . phyllis : what about you ? billy : i do n't want a life without you , either . think i 've made that pretty clear . phyllis : i do n't mean that . you do n't think jack 's gon na forgive you , either . billy : why should jack forgive me ? phyllis : because he is your brother . billy : right now , i 'm just the other guy . i 've gone behind jack 's back , i 've let him down before , but this is new territory , phyllis . phyllis : no , this is n't a joke . billy : i 'm not making a joke . i 'm just telling you the truth . he 's been very close to giving up on me a couple times , but this time , i have crossed the line . i have finally done something that not even my brother can forgive . dr. neville : you must be out of your beautiful mind . lying to the police ? admitting to a fraud ? ashley : you were about to do the same thing . dr. neville : well , i 'll find some way out of it . ashley : there is no way out of it . one of us had to fall on our swords . better me than you . dr. neville : why ? this has nothing to do with you . i 'm the one being blackmailed by hilary because i gave her the power to destroy me , not you . why should you be forced to pay a price for that ? [ sighs ] i wo n't let that happen . ashley : well , neither will i . dr. neville : oh , what , you have some kind of a plan ? ashley : listen , i 'm gon na count on the abbott name , okay ? and a great attorney who we have on retainer . hopefully he 'll be able to soften the ramifications for me . dr. neville : no , no . wait . even if that 's true -- even if that 's true , there 's no way you 'll be allowed to continue with the drug trial . ashley : and i 'm gon na miss working with you . dr. neville : no . no . no , no , no , no , no . i 'll -- no , no , no . ashley : neville . neville . dr. neville : no , i will find another way out of it . just give me -- ashley : neville . you have to keep your license . dr. neville : at what cost to you ? i 'm not gon na let you do this . ashley : you 're the only one that can correct the imbalance in the meds and make sure that nobody else relapses . dr. neville : what , you think i can concentrate on that now ? ashley , they are going to arrest you . ashley : and do you want to repay me ? then you have to make sure that this drug trial is a success . you got to get back to the lab . you got to get to work . because lives are at stake . lily : is that about the deal you 're working on ? cane : yeah , this could be a big get for fenmore 's . lily : well , if you have to get back to work ... cane : i have to make a call . lily : yeah , that 's fine . why do n't you just go ? cane : you know what ? that can wait . come here . come here . why are you letting this get to you , mrs. ashby ? why ? why ? lily : listen , hilary is tearing my family apart , and now she 's moving on to jack . i think it 's gon na take more than a few minutes to make me feel better . cane : yeah ? well , would you feel better if i told you that i 'm just as frustrated as you are that hilary always gets the upper hand on us ? lily : i know , it 's like she just does what she wants and gets away with it . cane : mm . lily : and sometimes , like now , it feels like there 's nothing we can do to stop her . hilary : it appears that i am relapsing . jack : despite the drug that dr. neville gave you ? i thought ... hilary : everyone thought that my recovery would be permanent . but there is a very real possibility that i may slip back into a coma , or die . jack : so , what 's to be done ? hilary : well , we 're monitoring me . but fainting earlier , that 's an indication that i am getting worse . there were some other symptoms -- a tremor in my hand , some headaches . i thought it was nothing at first -- jack : and you discussed all of these with dr. neville ? hilary : yes , we spoke in confidence . he knows that there 's a problem with the drug . there are actually two other patients that are relapsing . jack : wait , my sister -- hilary : oh , no . from what i understand , everyone else is fine . including ashley . please , do n't be alarmed . and please ... i was hoping that you can keep this between us . i really do n't want devon to find out . jack : wait , you have n't told your husband ? hilary : no , not yet . and i would appreciate it if you did n't , either . phyllis : you are family . jack and you need each other . billy : that does n't change what i 've done . it does n't change what we need to do tonight , okay ? but whatever happens , this -- this is on me . this is not on you . phyllis : maybe we should n't . billy : no ! oh , no , no . i am not going to run from the consequences of my actions . i 'm not gon na do that . phyllis : okay , so we 're gon na run into the line of fire ? billy : we have to do this . phyllis : that 's not gon na happen . billy : we have to . phyllis : jack will be told . by me . alone . billy : what are you talking about ? i 'm not gon na let you do this alone . phyllis : you said it yourself -- he 's more likely to forgive me . if he does , i will try to get him to understand about you . billy : listen , i am not going to put you in the line of fire . phyllis : and i appreciate the vow of solidarity , i do . but this is my messed- up marriage . billy : we both did this , okay ? we both need to own it . phyllis : and if the both of us go to him together , it might be too much for him to take . billy : or maybe there 's safety in numbers . phyllis : i am the one ... billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : ... that broke my vows . jack should hear it from me . now , i am asking you to not fight me on this . i have to do this . alone . billy : no matter how much he yells at you ... just remember how much he loves you . phyllis : [ sighs ] okay , i should go . billy : so this is it , huh ? sharon : the guilt of this lie is eating away at me , mariah . i love sully like he 's my own flesh and blood . but he 's not . and that gets harder to live with every time i watch nick struggle with the loss of his wife and his son , every time i hear dylan mention what an incredible gift our son is . i ca n't bear the thought of destroying our family . but i ca n't go on like this , either . mariah : look , maybe you should talk to somebody . like a psychiatrist . sharon : no . a psychiatrist is what caused all this in the first place . that vindictive doctor who made me believe sully was my son . mariah : not all psychiatrists are crazed stalkers . sharon : it helps talking to you . mariah : and that 's great . i love that . but i 'm your kid . i 'm not your shrink . i 'm not very qualified to do many things , but i 'm definitely not qualified to do this , sharon . i 'm not enough . sharon : you have to be . i ca n't talk to anyone else about this . [ door closes ] dylan : ca n't talk to anyone else about what ? sharon : oh , mariah and i were just -- mariah : we were talking about sage . mariah : sharon and i were just talking about how much they 're missing sage at chelsea 's company . and , you know , chelsea never hired anybody after sage died , so sharon 's stuck covering both jobs . dylan : oh . [ sighs ] well , that 's a lot of work . mariah : yeah . i mean , it 's too much for one person to deal with , so sharon was thinking that maybe , uh , i could do it . dylan : are you qualified ? sharon : um ... mariah : i 'm qualified to do so many things that you do n't even know about . [ both chuckling nervously ] sharon : anyway , i was saying that i ca n't talk to anyone about this except mariah because i - i do n't want to seem insensitive suggesting a rehire when everyone 's still mourning sage . dylan : yeah . i know the two of you probably want to wait for the right time , but the truth is , it 's never really gon na feel like the right time to move on . phyllis : oh ! bethany : oh ! uh ... phyllis : bethany . oh . this is yours . bethany : thanks . phyllis : okay . well , i did n't know you were staying here . bethany : just for a couple nights . it 's a lot nicer than my apartment , you know , and since i 've got some money to burn thanks to you and billy , i figured why not treat myself . phyllis : oh , i 'm glad you 're benefiting from our misery . bethany : okay , you do n't have to get all attitudinal about it , all right ? i 'm not the one that put the squeeze on you and billy for the cash . you 're the one that practically begged me to take the money and act like his girlfriend . phyllis : hey , hey , hey ! how about lowering your voice ? bethany : all right . all i 'm saying is , if you wanted me to keep your secret , all you had to do was ask . phyllis : yeah , out of the kindness of your heart ? bethany : [ laughs ] well , i got to admit , the cash was a good incentive . but , i mean -- i mean , this is the most fun i 've had in a very long time . phyllis : yeah , well , the fun 's over . bethany : wait , why ? phyllis : because jack is knowing the truth tonight . bethany : does billy know ? phyllis : of course he does . bethany : and you 're thinking if you do this , then you can hit `` delete `` on you and billy and push `` reset `` on your marriage ? phyllis : well , i would n't put it like that , but ... yeah . that 's what i need to do . billy : you know how long i 've wanted this ? watching you ... fantasizing about you . wondering what it would be like . even when i was n't with you . picturing you in my mind . your skin . eyes . those lips . phyllis : damn it . if i would have just stopped ... just stopped to think . billy : we stopped a couple times and nothing changed . phyllis : i know , but it -- it should have . you know why ? because all of this , this is all just a mistake . a terrible , selfish mistake . and as far as i 'm concerned , none of it happened . okay ? because i will not be coming back here again . and whatever it is between us , whatever we have , this -- this ca n't go on . this has to be goodbye . lily : okay , thank you . ashley : hey . lily : hey . ashley : is hilary around by any chance ? lily : uh , not anymore . you just missed her big performance . ashley : why ? what 'd she do ? lily : well , she just pretended to faint so that jack would shower her with attention . ashley : are you sure it was an act ? lily : oh , so she has you fooled , too ? ashley : what do you mean `` too `` ? lily : well , i tried telling jack that hilary is just making a play on him in case things fall apart with devon . i mean , you can believe me or not . ashley : oh , i believe you . i think hilary is capable of just about anything . lily : thank you ! at least someone sees through her . jack is completely oblivious . ashley : where 's my brother right now ? lily : oh , he 's just upstairs in her suite , tending to a poor , ill hilary . jack : i wo n't say anything to anyone . it is your right to decide whether to share this news , and with whom . hilary : thank you , jack . jack : a little piece of advice , though -- tell your husband . hilary : i ca n't tell devon . not yet . jack : okay . i 'm gon na leave you and let you get some rest . i 'll check in with you later . hilary : thanks for taking such good care of me . jack : ash ! ashley : hi . jack : what are you doing here ? ashley : i have some business to discuss with hilary . what about you ? jack : well , hilary and i had some foundation work . i did n't realize she was so popular tonight . ashley : yeah , she is , huh ? jack : come on in . ashley : okay . see you later . hilary : what happened with dr. neville and the cops ? ashley : i bet you changed your mind about pointing the authorities in neville 's direction now that you realize that you do have a medical condition that only he can help you with . hilary : just tell me what happened . ashley : neville 's off the hook . hilary : what did he tell them ? ashley : he did n't tell them that you were behind the payoff , if that 's what you 're wondering . hilary : [ sighs ] okay . good . ashley : what you should be wondering , though , is what i told dylan . hilary : you talked to dylan ? ashley : i sure did . and i am so far away from being done with you . hilary : you told dylan that i was the one who paid off the lab tech ? ashley : no , but i so wanted to . especially when neville told me that you were blackmailing him . hilary : but he did n't tell you everything , did he ? ashley : he did n't tell me the identity of the kidnapper , no , although he does know who it is . and he made it very clear that he 's not gon na turn on you . i ca n't begin to tell you how frustrating that was . hilary : what do you want , ashley ? ashley : i took the blame for your dirty work . i said it was me . and that i acted alone . hilary : why would you do that ? ashley : because now you owe me . bethany : hi . billy : what the hell are you doing back here ? bethany : well , i figured you could use some company . billy : i actually , uh , prefer to drink alone , thank you very much . bethany : oh , that sounds healthy . listen , i ran into phyllis . she told me that she was going to tell your brother everything . billy : yes , after tonight , everything will change . bethany : well , is that such a bad thing ? i mean , no more sneaking around with your secret love . free to do whatever you want with whoever you want . billy : and `` whomever , `` you mean you . bethany : i mean , everybody already thinks we 're seeing each other , you know , so ... billy : [ sighs ] bethany : why not keep things going ? i mean , we could have so much fun together , you know ? we can go out for some laughs , or stay in . billy : is that what you want ? bethany : it is . billy : okay . why not , right ? bethany : yeah . billy : as long as you 're okay with every time i look at you , every time i touch you , every time i kiss you , every time i pull up your dress , i 'm gon na be wishing i was with phyllis . phyllis : hi . jack : did you think i did n't get your text ? phyllis : yeah , i was n't sure . jack : hey , something 's wrong . phyllis : there 's something i need to tell you . jack : what is it , red ? phyllis : there 's no easy way to do this , so if you would just let me say it . jack : okay . phyllis : jack , i slept with someone else . and not just someone . [ voice breaking ] it was billy . and i 'm so sorry . and it was just one time . it was just one time . and i regretted it . we both regretted it . i 'm so sorry . jack : that 's it ? i mean , you did n't want me to interrupt you before you were finished . i want to make sure you were done . [ breathing heavily ] i do n't know what to say . `` i 'm glad it was n't with nick this time . `` `` at least this time you kept it in the family . `` `` my own damn brother ? `` phyllis : jack ... jack : you cheated on me with my own brother . how did he do this ? how did he -- how did he pull this off ? phyllis : i do n't understand what you 're talking about . jack : did he get you drunk ? how did he get you in his bed ? did he drug you ? phyllis : jack , no . there is no excuse . jack : so this just happened . phyllis : it did . and i 'm sorry . i 'm so sorry . billy is too . jack : yeah , billy who was too much of a coward to face me himself . phyllis : billy wanted to be here . jack : after everything i did to try to get through to him . i was tough , i was kind , i was patient . i was stupid . and what is the payoff ? he slept with my wife ? assuming all the while , as he always does , that he could make a fool out of me and get away with it . phyllis : jack , it was n't like that . jack : do n't you dare defend him ! i 'm gon na kill that son of a bitch . phyllis : jack , no . jack , no ! phyllis : [ sighs ] excited to see your grandma ? yeah . dylan : well , maybe you should talk to chelsea about mariah picking up the slack at work . mariah : but sage ... dylan : sage ... i mean , she 's gone . and we all miss her . including chelsea , which is probably why she has n't filled the position yet . and i know it 's tough , but you got to keep moving forward . mariah : i mean , i guess it might be worth making the suggestion ? dylan : yeah , i think you should . and i think you would be awesome at that job . and i know your mom would love working with you . sharon : there 's no one else i 'd rather have by my side . mariah : i do n't know . chelsea might -- sharon : i will talk to chelsea . dylan : yeah , i 'm sure nobody 's gon na take offense . even sage would understand . i mean , you two have nothing to feel guilty about . [ smooches ] i 'm gon na go upstairs , kiss sully . lily : i mean , knowing ashley is on our side where hilary is concerned ... cane : just makes you feel better , huh ? lily : yeah . it just gives me hope that if other people can see through her , then maybe eventually jack and devon will , too . cane : and then maybe the tight grasp that hilary has over us will start to loosen . hm ? lily : [ scoffs ] hilary : i think i can guess what 's number one on your list of demands . ashley : hm . hilary : you want me to step away from the medical trial . ashley : exactly . you 're going to let neville run everything . i 'd love to help , but i do n't think they 're gon na allow me since i took the blame for the fraudulent test results . and guess what number two is ? hilary : jack . ashley : exactly again . you stay the hell away from my brother . billy : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to go off on you like that . bethany : it 's okay . billy : no , it 's not okay . you 're ... you 're sweet . you do n't deserve that . just ... just go , okay ? stop wasting your time on me . bethany : hey . i really like you , okay ? and i feel really bad that you 're torn up over this . but you 're gon na get over phyllis . billy : will i ? bethany : you will . i mean , you guys ca n't be together , so you 're gon na have to try and move on . billy : stop , stop . okay ? i ca n't . bethany : why not ? billy : because , damn it . because i love her . phyllis : [ gasps ] jack : whoa , you 're jumpy . everything all right ? i got your text . what 'd you want to talk to me about ? [ next_on ] victoria : you were lying to me behind my back -- and here 's the very best part -- about who you really were . have you been honest with me about anything ? jack : you 're upset about billy ? what is -- has he done something to you ? chelsea : i know what i 'm talking about here . | ashley admits to dylan that she falsified the test results of the drug trial in order to protect dr. neville and the project although simon does n't want ashley to take the blame for hilary 's actions . hilary faints and tells jack she is having a relapse and could return to a coma or die , and she asks him not to tell devon . ashley tells hilary that she is taking the blame for her , but she wants hilary to step away from the drug trial and let dr. neville run the project . ashley also asks hilary to stay away from jack . billy and phyllis decide that she must tell jack the truth about their one - night stand before bethany slips and does it . billy admits to bethany that he is in love with phyllis , but bethany tells billy that he must get over phyllis and she wants to be the woman to help him do it because she likes him . sharon has a nightmare that sage is begging her to tell nick that sully is baby christian . mariah advises sharon to think things through before she tells nick that adam & sage are christian 's parents . |
victor : i thought your mother would have told you . your grandmother is extending her stay . abby : but we already said goodbye . she was on her way back to paris . victor : well , something changed her mind . or someone . i think it was you . abby : okay , wait . i 'm -- i 'm confused . um , who told you this ? that fellow , graham , he told us after you had left the club . abby : wow . this is incredible . oh , god . is mom okay with this ? jack : she really said that ? she 's staying ? did abby change her mind ? ashley : someone gave our mother the courage to say no to graham . probably abby . but whatever the case , i know abby 's gon na be thrilled . jack : are you thrilled ? hilary : in l.a. , juliet and i were becoming friends . you know , we were talking about how much we loved hanging out together . and then she goes and accuses cane of sexual harassment ? i mean , he 's the one who helped her get that job , and that 's how she repays him , is by spreading these lies just to get some fat settlement check ? neil : oh , come on . sweetheart -- lily : no , i - i 'm livid . i think it 's disgusting . neil : i hate that you and cane are going through this . i do . lily : [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . neil : no , no , no , no . you do n't have to be sorry . lily : no , i invited you for dinner 'cause i want to hear how hamilton - winters is going , not vent about this nightmare . neil : hey , you can vent to me . i 'm your dad . you can tell me anything . as long as you 're honest with me . lily : what does that mean ? neil : i just want to make sure you 're telling me everything . michael : i filed a motion requesting the judge dismiss the lawsuit . cane : and what 's the chance that 's gon na happen ? michael : well , i would never presume to read the mind of any judge . but we have a solid argument that this case is without merit . victoria : juliet claims that , while you were in tokyo , you insisted that if she had sex with you , you 'd get her the division - management position . cane : [ sighs ] it 's rubbish . michael : juliet has provided no evidence that conversation or consummation ever took place . it is a classic case of `` he said , she said . `` cane : right , because everything i 've told you is true . michael : [ sighs ] in a civil case such as this one , the judge requires solid evidence for the case to proceed . victoria : and if they do n't give him any ? cane : look , there 's none to give 'cause it did n't happen , okay ? michael : then the judge throws out the case . cane : okay . all right . billy : okay . phyllis : holy -- there 's more ? ! billy : should i just put this , uh ... right there for now ? phyllis : i 'm gon na have to make more room in the closet , i think . billy : no , no . the closet will be fine . i do n't have a lot of clothes . phyllis : well , i ca n't put the golf clubs and the hockey equipment in the living room . and when did you take up tennis ? billy : oh , that was high school . phyllis : oh , okay . well , by all means , you just hang onto this . where am i gon na -- where are we gon na put all this stuff ? billy : phyllis , are you second - guessing me moving in here ? phyllis : as a matter of fact , i had one thought today . just one thought -- nothing else -- over and over ... [ billy whistles ] phyllis : ... day in and day out . billy : great minds think alike . leslie : hilary , hello . hilary : hi . please -- please , take a seat . leslie : [ sighs ] wanted to , uh , thank you again for referring juliet to me . she 's an excellent client . smart and follows my advice . hilary : where do things stand with the case ? leslie : brash & sassy filed a motion to dismiss . hilary : no surprise there . leslie : so michael and i will duke it out with the judge in his chambers shortly . hilary : this case has merit , leslie . the judge will see that , right ? leslie : the timing complicates things . juliet was recently terminated , so michael can paint my client as a disgruntled employee with an ax to grind . i need to be ready . so if you have any information about the case or juliet 's credibility , now is the time to tell me . lily : why would you think there 's something i 'm not telling you ? i mean , what else is there left to tell ? neil : well , that 's what i 'm asking you . look , baby , i know what the lawsuit claims . lily : yeah , it 's ridiculous . neil : are you absolutely confident that he is innocent ? lily : are you saying that you believe juliet ? neil : i 'm asking if you believe her . lily : of course not . neil : lily , come on . talk to me . lily : [ sighs ] okay . yeah . i - i did hear cane and juliet arguing one day . but who cares ? neil : arguing about what ? lily : [ sighs ] they said that it was about work , but then ... you know , after the suit got filed , i was ... wondering if maybe there was something else . neil : like what ? maybe something that happened in tokyo ? lily : [ sighs ] i know they closed a deal , and they celebrated -- hard . you know , but he called me the next day . he was completely hungover . and he admitted who he got drunk with . you know , he did n't seem like he was hiding anything . so , no . i - i do n't think that anything happened between them . neil : are you trying to convince me or yourself ? cane : why do n't you think it 's gon na be dismissed ? victoria : because there might be enough truths for leslie to spin and try to use against us . michael : what truth ? what are you getting at ? victoria : well , cane did recommend juliet for the division - management position in tokyo . cane : which she did n't get . victoria : yes , but i gave her a marketing job here . and by that time , you acted like you did n't even want her around . cane : 'cause i did n't think she 'd want to leave japan and move here for a lesser job . and i was right , because she does -- she comes here , gets fired , now she 's pissed off . you honestly think that i offered her a job in exchange for sex , do n't you ? do n't you ? ! ohh ! victoria : no , that is not what i am saying . michael : all right , people ! please ! please , let 's take a step back , shall we ? as i said before , the burden of proof is on leslie and juliet . victoria : yes . but the threshold for proof is less in civil cases than it is in criminal . am i correct ? michael : correct . however , they would have to prove not only that cane sexually harassed juliet , but that the alleged harassment damaged her career . she was terminated for just cause , which was in no way related to the allegations of harassment . look , the short version is , they do not have the evidence to prove their claims . if a judge feels the same way , this all disappears . victoria : thank you , michael . because , honestly , the last thing i need is another messy , expensive scandal . phyllis : that was ... one heck of a celebration . billy : so you forgive me about the golf clubs and the hockey equipment ? phyllis : well , and those albums . i mean , those are just so old and damaged , they probably do n't even play , right ? billy : okay , do n't even start there , okay ? those mean a lot to me . they are my therapy . i listen to them when i am angry and when i am sad . phyllis : oh , you do ? billy : yeah , i do . phyllis : oh . billy : they 've gotten a little too much play lately . phyllis : [ sighs ] it has been one hell of a year , has n't it ? billy : there 's been some bright spots . like right now . you and me , we 're turning the corner . it 's a new start for both of us . phyllis : oh , is there even such a thing ? billy : yes , there is such a thing . i will always have your back . you will never be alone again . phyllis : you 're never gon na be alone , either . you know i love you . billy : you know i love you . [ groans ] phyllis : oh , that 's sexy . what 's going on there ? billy : my stupid phone digging into my ... phyllis : [ giggles ] billy : aaaah ! i was supposed to be at the office for a meeting with michael about the lawsuit . phyllis : well , go , go , go , go , go . all right . put your shirt on . billy : sorry . phyllis : [ laughs ] do n't be . billy : i got to run . phyllis : i 'll have dinner ready , waiting for you , okay ? it 'll be our first night living in sin ! billy : you 're gon na cook ? phyllis : no ! [ laughs ] no , you 're not that lucky . [ laughs ] billy : i 'll take as much sin as i can get . bye . chloe : i have no idea who he 's talking to . dr. harris is practically a hermit . he does n't talk to anyone . no one comes over . nick and chelsea were the only ones who ever knocked on that door . kevin : well , then , i guess there 's only one way to find out -- call john doe back . hey ! you 're not in charge here anymore . dr. harris : i am the only one who can help chloe . kevin : you sure about that ? chloe : it 's bella 's favorite . [ sighs ] you brought him ? kevin : she wanted him to be with you . only she thought he 'd be spending time with you in heaven . you know , you act like you 're her savior , but all you 've done is drug her up and hold her prisoner . you know who can help her ? i can . i know what she needs , and i 'm not leaving here without her . dr. harris : where do you think that you can go ? faking chloe 's death was the only way to stop people searching for her . and she was this close to being able to disappear . but then she got you involved , and now she 's at risk again . chloe : not because of kevin . he can keep a secret . kevin : i 'm not gon na let anyone lock her up . not in a prison . not in a psych ward . and not here . chloe knows that i will do anything to protect her , and i am not leaving here without her . dr. harris : my friend , you do not make the decisions here . kevin : you 're gon na call the cops ? go ahead . have at it . ca n't wait to see how that goes . chloe : okay . kevin ... let me just talk to dr . harris alone for a minute . kevin : what happens when i leave the room ? he jams you with a needle , drugs you up again , maybe gives you enough to actually kill you this time ? chloe : that 's not gon na happen , okay ? just let me handle this . please . dr. harris : look , all i ever wanted was to help chloe get well again . chloe : he means it , all right ? he 's not gon na hurt me . i promise . kevin : i am right outside if you need anything . chloe : i 'll scream . dr. harris : [ sighs ] chloe , you can not leave here with him . if you get caught , we will all end up in prison . or worse , we will be at the mercy of victor newman . he 's not about to forgive what you did to his son . [ sighs ] contacting kevin was a terrible mistake . chloe : i know that you want me to be well . i know that you mean it . but that wo n't happen without kevin . we can trust him . i promise . [ sighs ] i just wish that i had bella here , too . you know , the two of them ... they are the only ones that make me healthy and whole . we just -- we need to figure out a way how we 're gon na take her with us . i - i need to pack . we need to get out of here right away . dr. harris : oh , no , no . you do n't need to pack because you 're not leaving this house . if victor had any idea what was happening -- chloe : okay , i know that you are as terrified as i am . just do n't tell victor . let us go . victor does n't need to know the truth . victor : sweetheart , why would you be upset about your mother 's reactions to dina 's decision to stay longer ? abby : well , i do n't think mom will ever forgive her mother for abandoning her and her family when she was a child . victor : well , that 's not so unusual . do you know , as an adult , one sometimes questions the decisions their parents made . one thing i know -- first thing i do when i get up in the mornings is think about what 's best for my family . abby : oh , you are not the same as dina . nick and victoria and i , we know how much you love us . and that 's one thing mom and i have in common -- great fathers who gave us love and support . and forgive us when we make mistakes . victor : yes , i did forgive you for that incubator project . you had gone ahead without my okay . but when i think about it , it 's a hell of an idea . i should have supported it . abby : well , you are a great boss , and an even better father . nick and victoria know that , too . come here . ashley : am i happy that dina 's staying longer ? yes . i 'm happy for you , and i 'm happy for abby . jack : but not for yourself ? you were pretty upset when she was gon na leave right away . ashley : that was for abby 's sake . jack : and graham ? are you still concerned about the control he has over mother ? ashley : of course i am . are n't you ? jack : you never told me what happened when he came out to the house to pick up the photo album . ashley : well , he was charming as ever , and of course he said all the right words in the right tone . assured me that there 's no ulterior motive on his part , and obviously he 's convinced himself that he 's her white knight . jack : and you did n't buy that for one second . ashley : well , i hate to say it , jack -- i think she 's his meal ticket . that 's the attraction . jack : well , he has managed to make himself indispensable to mother . ashley : mother might be smart and savvy and strong , but that man is manipulating her . jack : whatever he 's planning , though , he 's forgetting one important thing . she 's no longer alone . she has us . hilary : i have no doubts about juliet 's credibility . what happened in tokyo , it changed her life . she was pressured into sex by cane in exchange for a job with brash & sassy . then she picks up , she moves across the ocean for a lesser title than promised , and then she is fired by victoria for [ scoffs ] doing that job . leslie : yeah . it 's all in her statement . hilary : well , it 's all true . and juliet , she needs a champion . and i believe that you can be that for her , leslie . leslie : i 'll do everything i can . well , it 's to go talk to the judge . hilary : okay . well , good luck . leslie : thank you . phyllis : what 's got you so happy ? cane : i do n't understand why juliet 's doing this to me . and if i could just go and talk to her , i know i could convince to drop the suit . victoria : no . listen . that 's a really bad idea . you have been identified by name in a sexual - harassment case . if you go to her and you try to talk about the suit , she 's just gon na try to use it against you , or try to use it against the company . she 's gon na look at it as continued harassment . cane : she ca n't twist just a - a calm conversation like that . victoria : she 's already twisted everything . cane : i do n't know why she 's doing this to me . i do n't know why she 's attacking me personally . all i did was support her . i do n't understand it . victoria : you 've been very fair with her , and respectful . i never saw anything even remotely inappropriate , and if i had , i would have said something immediately . cane : so you 're saying you believe me now ? victoria : michael has to know everything . there can be no surprises here . you 're a decent person . i know you would n't do something like that . phyllis : so , the sunny disposition is about work ? hilary : a meeting went well . phyllis : oh . well , good . am i sitting in someone 's seat ? i - i just came here for a takeout order . hilary : no . no , it 's fine . i was actually dying to hear how things went with you and billy in l.a . phyllis : oh . fine and dandy until victoria caught us . and then , of course , the hockey deal went to hell . hilary : ugh , yeah . i - i had no idea that we were airing anything that the hockey league did n't approve of . phyllis : well , i 'm sure no one 's holding you responsible . hilary : i still regret airing that footage . [ sighs ] and i 'm sorry that victoria sniffed you out . i swear , i did everything that i could to prevent her from seeing you . phyllis : you know what , it 's okay , you know ? she just went into her usual snit . but that does n't matter , because i am here to pick up dinner for billy and me , because tonight is the first night we are living together . hilary : congratulations . good for you . it looks like you 're the one person who came out ahead from that trip . although i did n't do very badly . phyllis : hmm . hilary : i actually landed my exclusive with the one and only julie chen . phyllis : yes , i saw that . yeah . and you nailed it . that 's all right . but that was almost a disaster for everybody else . hilary : and now juliet is suing brash & sassy for sexual harassment . do you know anything about that ? phyllis : [ groans ] the drama never ends . i am just happy she is not naming billy on this bogus complaint . hilary : well , do n't be so sure that it 's bogus . [ laptop slams ] billy : victoria told me about your meeting with michael . cane : well , do n't act like you care , 'cause if you did , you would have been here for it , billy . billy : [ sighs ] i assume that you told michael everything ? because i do n't feel like being ambushed because you decided to not give up information . i certainly do n't want victoria being caught in the cross fire . cane : are you accusing me of cheating on my wife ? is that what you 're saying to me ? billy : take it easy , cane . i know what it 's like to drink a little bit too much and do something stupid . cane : yeah , but you do n't have to drink that much to do something stupid , now , do you ? billy : things happen , right ? even to saints like you . cane : so you think that i blackmailed this woman into giving me sex for a job . a job working with my wife . so you think that i 'm slimy and i 'm stupid . is that what you 're accusing me of ? billy : that 's not what i said . cane : all right , listen . i know you want me to admit i 'm guilty for the sake of your ex - wife and this place , but i 'm not going to confess to something i did n't do . lily : look , cane never hid how impressed with juliet he was . he 's the one who pushed for her to get the division - manager job in tokyo . and that did n't happen because victoria hired her for marketing here . he had nothing to do with that . neil : you talk to cane about this ? lily : yeah , of course . we do n't have any secrets . look , this already happened with hilary awhile back . remember , she took those photos , said they were having an affair ? neil : yeah . lily : it 's just happening again . it 's just lies again . we have been through the worst , you know , and we 're -- we 're stronger for it . i do n't think cane would risk that for anyone or anything . neil : you know what i think ? i think you ought to trust your husband , and trust your own judgment . 'cause i do . lily : thank you . graham : i have postponed our travel arrangements , and our meetings in paris , for the next few days . dina : well , we may be here more than just a few days . graham : you want to stay here even longer ? you know what that would mean . dina : well , it would mean more time with my family . graham : which is why it 's a bad idea . ashley is still bitter and resentful . it 's not good for you to be surrounded by so much negativity . dina : jack wants me here , and so does my granddaughter . graham : and ashley 's another story . dina : ashley was angry when i told her i was leaving , which means she cares . graham : the way she talks to you is insulting . and jack is n't much better . [ sighs ] adults reacting like children . self - centered , unable to forgive . they expect you to spend your life making amends to them . be careful , dina . these people do not have your best interests at heart . jack : i hope i 'm not interrupting . chloe : kevin and i go away . and i 'm sure that , with what victor 's paid you , you never have to work again . and what i said to kevin is true . you do n't talk to anyone . so if you leave , no one will notice . dr. harris : look , victor will not let that happen . [ sighs ] you ca n't leave , chloe . you will not be safe . not out in the world where victor can still track you down . plus ... you need treatment . you know that . when you 're not under my care , things happen . chloe : [ sighs ] then i 'll stay . with kevin . dr. harris : [ scoffs ] that 's not possible . i wo n't allow you to move your ex- husband into my home -- chloe : it 's the only option , and it 's non - negotiable . if i stay , then he stays . he 's not gon na say anything to anyone . we can trust him . because he knows that , if he does , he 's going to prison . dr. harris : chloe , you are not thinking straight . this ca n't happen . god , now i have to call victor . tell him that you 've involved your ex - husband , and you 're talking about him living in my house . none of this was the plan ! [ gun cocks ] chloe : then we change the plan . dr. harris : chloe , put it down . chloe : i 'm just trying to make a point as to why kevin should stay here . dr. harris : no , you 're holding a gun . chloe : i need him . and if you want me to get better ... dr. harris : i do . chloe : ... then you let kevin stay . kevin : you were taking too long , so i showed myself -- whoa ! chloe ! chloe : i know . i know . so please just -- thank god you 're here . take it . take it . take it . take it . kevin : okay . okay . okay . calm down . what the hell happened ? chloe : he wants you to leave , and i want you to stay . here . with me . dr. harris : in my home . as i treat chloe . what do you think about that ? kevin : was n't exactly what i had in mind . chloe : we could be a family again , kevin . you , me , and bella . kevin : bella ? chloe : well , we would stay here , and the doctor would treat me , and then i have the two people that i love most in this world by my side . i - i know it 's -- it 's kind of weird , but -- kevin : chloe ... chloe : it 's the best we 've got . kevin : bella can not live like a prisoner . neither can you . we have to go , now , before our friend here calls john doe again . chloe : kevin , i have to stay here if i want to get better . i have to do this for bella , and for you . for my own sake . and dr . harris wants to help me , too . you know that he does . kevin : we ca n't hold a gun on him and make him let us stay . dr. harris : you wo n't need to . chloe : what do you mean ? dr. harris : you can stay . both of you . at the moment , i can see it 's the best thing for chloe . ashley : okay , ravi . i think that 's about it . ravi : maybe there 's something else ? ashley : you know what , it 's kind of unnerving how well you know me . yes , there is something else . my mother . remember , i told you i was gon na try to kill her with kindness ? ravi : yeah , the family dinner . never told me how it went . ashley : well , my mother was definitely happy about it . it meant a lot to her . jack was moved . traci was moved , as well . and abby ... well , she was just basking in the glow of getting her grandmother 's approval . ravi : how was it for you ? ashley : it was okay . after , you know , my sister traci mentioned something . she thought our mother seemed off somehow . ravi : in what way ? ashley : it 's hard to say , because we see our mother so infrequently , but i know it has something to do with her companion , graham . i think he 's trying to control her . i can feel it . ravi : oh . well , i 've only met your mother once . i ca n't imagine her ceding power to anyone . ashley : in any other circumstance , i would totally agree with that . but then you see them together , and you see them apart , and he definitely has some kind of an effect on her . it 's almost as if she 's afraid to go against his wishes . and she covers it very well , but ... i think she 's keeping something from us . ravi : you 've got good instincts about people , ashley . if this is how you feel , we need to find out more . let 's see what we can learn about this graham . ashley : okay . jack : graham , i 'd like to talk to my mother . privately . family stuff . graham : of course . jack : i 'm glad you 're staying longer . dina : well , it wo n't make things easier for you , jack . ashley was furious with me for not telling abby i was leaving . jack : well , i understand abby did n't give you much choice . she came to you herself . tenacious , that one . must be hereditary . dina : [ chuckles ] my granddaughter has the perfect mix of abbott and newman genes . jack : oh , i think it 's all abbott . but that 's me . dina : [ chuckles ] i realized i was n't ready to leave . jack : well , then you made the right decision . even if graham disagrees . dina : well , he has my best interests at heart . jack : so do we . i hope you know that . dina : of course i do , son . jack : well , now that you 've decided to stay longer , i was hoping you would consider moving into the house . dina : oh ! jack : there 's lots of room . abby drops by several times a week . mrs. martinez can make you anything you want . who knows ? we may even get some more singing in . dina : mmm . jack : what do you say ? would you consider moving home ? victoria : oh , hey . you 're still here . billy : so are you . victoria : yeah . i was just waiting to hear from michael about the judge 's decision . but , um , you know , you do n't have to stick around . i 'll call you when i hear anything . billy : i actually wanted to let you know the reason why i missed the meeting with michael . victoria : okay . billy : i moved in with phyllis . victoria : oh . um ... well , just make sure that you give payroll your change of address . billy : this does n't change anything between us , vick , besides , obviously , the address change . but , uh , everything will still be the same between the two of us . victoria : you know , i would prefer if you do n't have the kids sleep over at your new residence . billy : that 's fine . they wo n't . but i still plan on spending as much time as possible with them , of course . victoria : yeah , of course . they love you . billy : johnny , katie , reed . this place . you . it all means a lot to me , so i 'll do whatever i need to help you . just ask whenever you need anything , okay ? victoria : thank you . billy : i 'm sorry you 're going through this . the lawsuit . not surprisingly , you 're handling it like a pro , like you do everything else . victoria : [ sighs ] well , i 'm not gon na let anybody hurt this company . billy : i know you 're not saying it , but we all know this is only happening because you decided to fire juliet instead of me . michael : your honor , as detailed in my brief , this lawsuit is based on a false claim of sexual harassment . ms. helton is angry she was fired from her marketing position at brash & sassy , a cosmetics company . she knew she could n't win a wrongful - termination suit because she was fired for just cause . leslie : conjecture . mr. baldwin is not a mind - reader . judge hazen : move it along , mr. baldwin . michael : ms. helton registered no complaint regarding her treatment at brash & sassy prior to termination . any and all allegations arose after she was fired . in addition , she claimed that mr. ashby promised her a division - manager position in exchange for sex . that position was not mr. ashby 's to give . ms. helton had interviewed with victoria newman for the job , which was given to a more experience candidate . however , ms . helton was offered a position in marketing . that decision was ms . newman 's alone to make , not mr. ashby 's . therefore , there was no quid pro quo . but , your honor , should you decide that a sexual encounter may have occurred , please keep it in mind that it allegedly happened while ms . helton was a freelance consultant at brash & sassy , not a permanent employee . therefore , she was not mr. ashby 's subordinate , nor is she subject to the protections afforded to a permanent employee . your honor , this lawsuit does not meet the standards of a claim for which relief may be granted . therefore , i urge you to dismiss this lawsuit with prejudice . phyllis : you sound like you know a whole lot about this harassment case . why do n't you tell me a little bit about it ? hilary : i 've gotten to know juliet a bit . she moved halfway across the world to work her butt off for victoria and cane . and then everything blows up in l.a. , and she 's the one who takes the fall ? phyllis : so file for wrongful termination . why sexual harassment ? seems very forced . and why drag cane into this ? hilary : [ scoffs ] i 've known cane as long as i 've known anyone else in this town , first as his assistant , then as his in - law . and , come on , even in the most loving relationships , people make mistakes . would n't you agree ? phyllis : well , everybody knows my track record . just like they know yours . hilary : mm . phyllis : a mistake is one thing . sexual harassment , that 's a whole other . hilary : the only people who know what really happened that night is cane and juliet . and regardless of how it sounds , i 'm not `` in her corner . `` but i am confident that the truth will come out . i make no secret about how i feel about lily ashby . but it would be terrible , would n't it ? just to find out that your husband is the type of man that exploits women that way ? let 's just hope that she does n't have to face that . lily : thanks . bye . neil : later , man . cane : yeah , you too . hey . i did n't mean to chase your dad out like that . lily : no , it 's fine . so , what 's the latest ? cane : uh , michael 's meeting with the judge right now in his chambers to see if , uh , he can get him to dismiss the case . lily : cane , everyone knows you did nothing wrong . and the judge will see that , too . he 'll see there 's no case , and then we can go back to how things were before . like it never happened . victoria : i did n't fire you because juliet was at fault . the information she gave us about the league 's approval was incorrect . she let herself get caught in the rush to air , and she royally screwed up . she did n't take responsibility for it then , and this suit proves that she 's not taking responsibility for it now . and that 's not the kind of person that i want working at this company . i 'm sure that michael is gon na convince the judge that the suit is groundless , and it 's gon na get dismissed . billy : i sure hope it does . victoria : it 's gon na go away , billy , all right , and i am not gon na waste another second of my life thinking about that woman and her outrageous claims . judge hazen : i would like to adjourn for the day . counselor , we 'll hear your rebuttal argument tomorrow . leslie : thank you , your honor . michael : thank you . leslie : oh , do n't look so pleased with yourself , michael . michael : [ chuckling ] leslie : this is n't over . michael : the judge seemed pretty convinced to me . and to you , too , or you would n't be so nervous . i 'd say it 's a fait accompli . the fat lady has sung , packed her bags , and hopped a plane to bali . you ... have a most excellent evening , leslie . kevin : look . no gun . you still want to tell me you 're happy to have a new roomie ? me . here . with chloe . dr. harris : if it 's what 's best for my patient . i failed chloe once . i wo n't do that again . now , if you 'll excuse me , i have to go check the mail . i do leave the house for that , at least . kevin : this is what you want ? you and me . here ? chloe : not just you , though . i want bella here with us . i know this is ... [ scoffs ] this is not paradise . but we can do this . ca n't we ? kevin : as long as we 're together , we can do anything . victor : you called before , and then you hung up . what was that all about ? dr. harris : i just wanted to update you on chloe without her in the room . uh , there are no lingering side effects from the paralysis medication , and the correct dosage of her regular meds seems to be working . she 's less anxious . more accepting of the situation . victor : you 're doing a good job . keep it up . i do n't ever want to hear that woman 's name again . dr. harris : of course . victor : anything else ? i do n't want any surprises . dr. harris : no surprises . everything 's under control . ravi : graham , what 's his last name ? ashley : oh , my god . i do n't even know this man 's last name . he 's involved in every aspect of my mother 's life , and i do n't know his last name . you know , check under the mergeron website . look under `` vp of water fetching . `` ravi : at least you did n't call him `` flavor of the month `` this time . ashley : that 's because he 's lasted an entire year , and he 's gained tremendous access to my mother . ravi : think she enjoys spending time with him ? ashley : that 's probably what got her into the situation to start with , sure . i think i 've already told you , she 's always preferred the company of younger men . i 'm sure she found herself alone , single , and needed to rely on , and then graham made himself available to her . but now , you see , his benefactress is home with her children and her grandchildren . ravi : you think he feels threatened ? ashley : he says he 's not interested in my mother 's fortune . i think that 's ... ridiculous . it has to be a lie . well , look , it 's not my business what my mother does with her money , but i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na stand by and let this controlling gigolo just bleed her dry . ravi : look , if you really believe that that 's his agenda , then we have to find a way to stop this guy . jack : it is n't my house . it is the abbott house . and you belong there . dina : oh , jack . i have n't been an abbott for decades . jack : you 're still our mother . this would be a home for you . you 'd have run of the place . dina : a home . jack : just say yes . please . graham : say yes to what ? jack : i 've just invited my mother to live at the house . plenty of room . easy access to family . it 's the obvious choice . dina : it 's a wonderful offer , jack . it 's so kind and loving . but there 's -- there 's a reason the visit has gone so well . it 's because i 'm not underfoot . jack : you would n't be at the house , either . there 's plenty of room . dina : [ sighs ] well , graham and i have settled in here , and we 're managing quite comfortably . so , for now ... i think we should leave things as they are .

phyllis : no . yo - you have n't met her , i do n't think . jack : i 'll tell you what . why do n't i go along with you ? i 'll give her the pitch . i - i must say , i 'm getting pretty good at it . phyllis : i know you are . and i thought about it , uh , believe it or not , but i think a softer approach is gon na work with this one . jack : so , sell without her knowing she 's being sold . phyllis : [ chuckling ] exactly . i knew you 'd understand . jack : good luck . phyllis : thanks . i 'm gon na need it . meredith : [ thinking ] i 'm hearing disturbing things about your son 's murder charges . ian ward says you 're setting adam up . i ca n't believe that . whatever 's going on , we need to talk . since i ca n't come to you , say you 're sick . they 'll bring you to me . i 'll be here for another hour . please . this needs to happen tonight . here you go . i 'll get them to him right away . meredith : thank you . adam : i , of all people , am not naive when it comes to ian . i used to work with him , remember ? chelsea : oh , i do . michael : not your best judgment call . adam : okay , listen , my point is there 's only so much he can ask for , right , only so much he can bargain for -- a less restricted facility . michael : done . adam : which we gave him . some semblance of a normal life when he 's temporarily released to testify . michael : yeah , it 's also done . adam : which we gave him . that 's my point . we ca n't give him much more . it 's not like we have the power to -- to overturn his sentence or get it reduced , for that matter . chelsea : you guys are forgetting something . i was a con artist my entire childhood . i know how these things end . at the end of all this , there will be one man standing , and ian is going to make sure that that is him and not you . adam : well , i 'm sure he would love that very much , sweetheart , but how ? chelsea : just because we ca n't see his endgame right now does n't mean he does n't have one . adam : wait . you 're awfully quiet over there , which is -- michael : it 's weird , huh ? adam : it 's weird . yeah . what do you think ? michael : oh . i think you should listen very michael : you make an excellent case for ian having a hidden agenda . chelsea : do i really need to make a case ? this is ian we 're talking about . michael : duly noted . but keeping our eyes open is always a great strategy , no matter who we 're dealing with . adam : but ... ? michael : but we really should take into consideration that ian 's goals do not necessarily have to conflict with our own . adam : that 's actually an excellent point . i mean , who the hell cares what he wants , right , as long as he testifies . chelsea : this is such a gamble , babe . this is your life we 're talking about here , our life with our son . i just wish there was a way that we could be certain . adam : i think there might be . michael : i can practically hear the gears turning . chelsea : what -- what are you talking about ? adam : what if i confront him ? chelsea : no . adam : no , yes . no , listen . what if i look him in the eye , right ? i get him talking , get him to say something that -- that we can use against him . we can beat him at his own game . chelsea : are you sure this is a smart idea , showing our hand ? adam : i would n't be showing him anything . with that guy , all you got to do is wind him up and let her spin around in a little circle and start talking . listen , we both agree that ian ca n't be trusted , all right ? there are no guarantees with him . but if i can sit down with him and i can get him talking , maybe he 'll reveal his hidden agenda . and if he has one , maybe we can use it . [ keys jangling ] [ door closes ] ian : vic , you having a good time in there ? missing our chats in the cafeteria . get out soon , wo n't you ? i 'm bored . p.s . how 's the family ? travis : tori , it 's -- sorry . victoria . it 's travis . i do n't know why you took it upon yourself to pay my debt , but i want to discuss it as soon as possible . call me back . billy : why do people lie ? there 's a lot of good people out there , vick . a ton of them . i think . but this is n't a random person thing , is it ? this is a man thing . or maybe it 's a me thing . you want to know why we always screw it up . victoria : do you actually have an answer ? billy : women . victoria : oh , i see . it 's our fault . billy : no . it 's definitely our fault . it 's like every sad country song , you know ? a cowboy loses the love of a good woman , so he drinks and gambles his life away . [ sighs ] been there , done that . victoria : maybe you 're right . maybe we should n't do this . billy : or maybe the cowboy wants someone that he ca n't have . it 's wrong in so many ways , but in some ways , it feels so right . that fire , that desire is all- consuming , and he 's oblivious to the consequences . he 's in over his head , does n't realize all the people that he 's hurting around him until it all comes crumbling down . or maybe he has a heartburn and he needs an antacid . victoria : i 'm sorry . billy : for what ? victoria : i did n't come here for you to bare your soul . i think we 're past that . billy : hey . hey , hey , hey . i 'm sorry . hey . i did n't mean to run you to the door . you okay ? you look a little torn up . is -- are you all right ? victoria : i 'm fine . billy : so , once again , i could n't give you the answer you were looking for . victoria : that 's okay . i have someone else that i can ask . jack : could i get another -- bethany : martini straight up , pl -- [ chuckles ] jack . sorry . jack : hi , bethany . bethany : hi . [ sniffles ] so , i guess you know . jack : i should have seen it bethany : well , i 'm not sure how you could have seen it coming unless you 're some sort of a mind reader . jack : i 'm sorry about all this . i do n't know that this helps or hurts , but yours is not the first heart my little brother has broken . bethany : my heart ? unbelievable . jack : or maybe i - i got things wrong . i was under the impression that billy broke things off . maybe it was you . bethany : what ? n - no , he did , it 's just -- i 'm shocked that you 'd be concerned about me right now . jack : who else would i be concerned about , billy ? trust me , billy can take care of himself . bethany : [ sighs ] jack : did i say something wrong ? bethany : you know what ? i - i 'm just still shaken about everything . that 's all . jack : you really cared about him , did n't you ? bethany : i did . your brother 's a good guy . but what can i do ? he -- he 's into someone else , even though he 's not willing to do anything about it . jack : it 's an awful position to find yourself in . at least you found out the truth before it was too late . bethany : i guess that is an upside . jack : hold on to that , huh ? really . bethany : you 're a good guy who deserves good things , jack . jack : wow . where did that come from ? bethany : you just are . jack : well , i guess the universe agrees with you . i 'm the luckiest man i know . got a family and kids and a great job and a wife who keeps me jumping and guessing and loved me enough to marry me . bethany : [ chuckles ] you 're right . i guess you have everything that you need . [ doorbell rings ] billy : hey , what happened ? phyllis . what did jack do ? did he go off on you ? hey , stop . what did he do ? what did he -- phyllis : no . billy : what do you mean `` no `` ? did what he -- so , he just stared at you , saying nothing , making you feel even worse ? phyllis : that 's -- billy : damn it , i should have trusted my instincts . i should n't have let you go there alone . phyllis : just stop . just stop . billy : where is he ? i 'm gon na go talk to him . phyllis : stop it . jack did n't do or say anything awful . i did n't tell him . billy : what ? phyllis : he still does n't know . victoria : [ sighs ] travis : decide to do this in person , huh ? guess i can give you credit for that . victoria : give me credit ? [ scoffs ] what did i do ? travis : are you serious ? victoria : are you ? travis : i left you a message . victoria : i have n't checked my phone . travis : who the hell does n't check their phone ? ! victoria : i had a teddy - bear crisis ! it does n't matter . what is your problem ? travis : it 's you and those deep pockets of yours . is that how you thought you 'd fix this ? by bailing me out ? i told you -- i do n't want your damn money . victoria : i have no idea what you 're talking about . travis : oh , so you just have no idea how my debt just magically disappeared ? victoria : you think i paid it ? travis : yeah . who else ? victoria : i do n't know , but it definitely was n't me . i mean , why would i ? clearly , you have money from your days on wall street , mr. commodities broker . unless everything that i read about you was a lie . i can list your company , the name of your partners , all of the deals that you scored , in case you 're having trouble remembering . travis : i remember . victoria : you just felt like you did n't need to share that with me ? god , you are such a hypocrite . i felt terrible ! you made me feel terrible about who i really was . i was embarrassed and -- and i was devastated and i was very remorseful . travis : you were n't that remorseful . victoria : all i could think about was how to fix it , and i tried . i came back here with my heart in my hand . and even then , you made me work for it . meanwhile , you were lying to me behind my back -- and here 's the very best part -- about who you really were . so , tell me , travis , have you been honest with me about michael : you want my advice , chelsea ? chelsea : please . michael : trust your husband . i know that 's a 180 coming from me , having railed against him for visiting ian the last time , but the circumstances have changed . chelsea : adam 's not the one i do n't trust . michael : hmm . you heard him . he says he can handle ian . chelsea : and do you believe him ? michael : i take it you do n't . chelsea : i want to . michael : but something 's stopping you . chelsea : okay , i 'm just gon na put this out there . i 'm gon na say the thing that we 're all too scared to say . michael : hmm . sounds like a fun game . chelsea : ian knew what we were looking for . right ? this confession from victor . and then , suddenly , he gets it in record time . and by doing so , it puts him in a position where he can start making demands . ian gets everything he wants . michael : so do we . chelsea : well , no , not really . because what if he did n't get the confession , huh ? what if he went to victor , he tried , and he ultimately failed ? michael : and came back and lied to us ? chelsea : exactly . ian has nothing to lose here , but adam does . so he could be walking into that courtroom with a defense that does n't even exist , michael . do n't tell me you have n't thought about this . michael : no , i - i 've -- it 's crossed my mind . chelsea : but you do n't care , do you ? you 're gon na put ian on the stand no matter what . ian : adam . adam : whoa , what the hell happened to your face ? meet new friends ? ian : [ chuckles ] no , i had a little run - in with victor today . he ambushed me . i kept hitting his fists with my face . adam : good for you . ian : [ chuckles ] sit down . sit down . it 's delightful to see you . adam : yeah , well , i wish i could say the same . ian : oh , now , come on . do n't tarnish this visit right at the start . i 'm glad you 're here . see , i 've been giving a lot of thought to my accommodations during your trial . adam : trial -- let 's -- let 's start there . uh , why do n't we put all the cards on the table right now , ian . you , uh -- you got something up your sleeve ? ian : me ? adam : you . ian : all i have up my sleeve is victor 's confession . adam : see , i 'm having a hard time believing you . i 'm wondering why that is . ian : because you ca n't take `` yes `` for an answer . and that 's all right . i mean , the only people who need to believe me are those 12 men and women on the jury . adam : the 12 men and women on the jury ? let 's talk about them for a second . ian : all right . adam : shall we ? how do you think they 're gon na feel or react when you throw me under the bus during your testimony , huh ? now , i do n't know them , obviously . but i 'm guessing they 're not gon na react well . ian : wh - wh - what are these riddles ? you accusing me of something ? just say it . adam : is this your way of getting revenge for me leaving you in that fire ? is that what you 're doing ? ian : well , that was rude . adam : are you gon na show up at that trial , you 're gon na sit there on the witness stand , you 're gon na say , `` confession ? i - i do n't know anything about any confession . `` ian : [ chuckles ] adam . my dear adam , my partner in crime , do you really think that lowly of me ? adam : well , no . no , ac - actually , i do n't , because , uh ... you would aim much higher , would n't you ? i mean , screwing me over would definitely get you revenge , but , uh , you got something much bigger planned , do n't you ? you planning an escape , ian ? ian : that sounds lovely . adam : does n't it ? ian : uh - huh . adam : you 're gon na be a no - show at the trial , right ? that 's the cherry on top ? you 're gon na disappear , just poof , you 're gone , and leave me holding the bag . call me a liar . victoria : i mean , the things i said to you about how you made me feel and how you would never hurt me or let me down -- you must have just been just cracking up at me . travis : i was n't laughing . what you said meant a lot to me . victoria : yeah , just it meant so much that you just kept lying . travis : yeah , i kept that part of me hidden . victoria : while shaming me for being exactly the same thing . [ sighs ] travis : wait , wait , wait . how did you find out , anyway ? you ca n't find that information on a regular internet search . did you have me investigated ? victoria : you know , we 're talking about you right now . travis : okay . you 're right . and i 'm sorry . i really am . victoria : why ? travis : you want the short answer or the long answer ? victoria : i just want the truth . travis : look , my time on wall street -- it -- at first , it was like a dream -- the fast pace , the power , the money . oh , the money . i never felt a high like that before . and i got caught up . i just lived and breathed my work . if you were n't talking about the market , i just was n't interested . and this went on for years . it just -- i became someone that i did n't recognize . i became someone i did n't like very much . victoria : so you left . travis : [ sighs ] and never looked back . and the irony is not lost on me , learning that the world that i cut ties with is the world that you lived in , this woman i was coming to care about . victoria : if cared so much , then why did you tear me up about it , huh ? especially given who you -- who you used to be ? travis : it 's 'cause i 'm an ass , and i 'm dealing with some self - esteem issues or ... image issues . just issues . god , i should probably see a shrink . [ sighs ] victoria : i know a few . travis : when you came in that first day as tori , the receptionist at some big , bad company , and you complained about the people you worked for , people that i used to be , i thought if i told you the truth , you 'd run . and i really did n't want that . so i kept the past to myself because it 's the past . but i -- [ sighs ] i can promise you the man you met on that first day is not the old me , the one full of swagger and ego . it 's the man standing in front of you right now , asking you to forgive him . billy : why did n't you tell him ? phyllis : because i could n't . billy : what do you mean that you could n't ? we agreed that this was the only way that -- phyllis : i know what we agreed to . you were n't there . you did n't see his face . you did n't see his eyes . it 's gon na break his heart . it 's gon na break your relationship that you have together . billy : i do n't care about -- phyllis : and the thought of that -- the two of you not having each other in your lives -- i just -- i could n't . billy : i will . phyllis : where are you going ? billy : i 'm going to tell jack , to put an end to this . phyllis : you know what 's gon na end ? you and your brother . billy : i do n't care about that . phyllis : you do n't mean that . billy : do you understand ? if jack does n't know the truth , i ca n't stay away from you . do you understand that ? phyllis : why do you think i came back here ? i do n't want you to stay away . meredith : i trust the medication was delivered properly . the prisoner got everything you requested . meredith : thank you . chelsea : you would put ian on the stand even though you know his testimony might be a lie ? michael : might . might . we do n't know his story is fake , and frankly , it 's better not to ask . chelsea : this is crazy . talk about rolling the dice . if we 're questioning ian 's claims , does n't that stand to reason a jury might , too , michael ? michael : it 's possible . chelsea : it 's possible . wow . well , where does that leave my husband ? michael : you have to stay calm , chelsea . chelsea : i 'm not gon na stay calm . michael : okay , listen to me . let me put this another way . look , it is the jury 's duty to be skeptical of ian , yes ? chelsea : sure . yeah , but -- michael : but i 'm prepared for that . but if his testimony causes them to doubt the d.a . 's story , too , even the tiniest little bit , adam will get that acquittal . that 's how it works , chelsea . that 's what decides a case -- doubt . ian : the beauty of my position -- i do n't have to confirm or deny anything . there 's no case without my testimony . your position is a lot less enviable by a landslide . adam : you think ? ian : yeah . the risk is yours , adam , all yours . and it sounds like you have to take it . adam : i 'll go ahead and chalk that up to the , uh , escape is on category . here 's my thing that i do n't -- i do n't understand though is why , uh -- why have n't you asked me for help ? victoria : [ sighs ] travis : just please tell me i have n't lost you . victoria : i mean , did we ever really have each other ? did we know each other ? travis : yeah . unless you think i 'm my job or my bank account . victoria : or my name . travis : actually , i think by cutting out all the other stuff , we know each other even better . do n't you ? i mean , i know how you like your drinks . victoria : oh , yeah . that 's -- that 's hugely important . travis : i know what songs to never switch out of the jukebox . victoria : [ chuckles ] god forbid . travis : i know how your face lights up when you talk about your kids . i know there 's just something about you . there 's just something that struck me when you walked in the door , something i want to explore . so ... victoria newman , c.e.o . of newman enterprises and mother of three , will you go steady with me ? victoria : you did not just say that ? travis : i did . i did just say that . and i want an answer . victoria : travis crawford , former wolf of wall street and bartender extraordinaire -- travis : i like it . victoria : yeah . travis : yeah ? victoria : yeah , let 's do it . but fair warning . travis : already with the warnings . victoria : my family , you know -- they 're gon na have a lot of questions . they 're gon na have their opinion , all of them . travis : i do n't care . do you ? victoria : no , i do n't care . billy : we should get dressed . phyllis : yeah .

[ knock on door ] scott : pardon the interruption , but your gatekeeper 's away from her post , and i have a ton of ideas i want to run by you , if that 's all right . abby : [ chuckles ] scott ! hi . wonderful to see you , too . yeah , my dad 's in a business meeting , so all those ideas of yours will have to wait . unless you want to run them by me first . scott : pass , but thanks . abby : wait ! not so fast . please . scott : oh , can i help you with something ? abby : actually , yes . thank you so much for asking . yes , here is a list of companies . it 's about a dozen . i need some research done on them . very easy , very basic , but very urgent . scott : of course it is . abby : well , i 'd have my intern do it , but she 's only allowed to work eight hours a day . scott : then you might want to alert the top , uh , business schools about the unpaid labor shortage , 'cause i wo n't be pitching in on that or any of your other little projects . neil : afraid i do not have an appointment . victoria : oh ! oh , neil , it 's so good to see you . neil : it 's good to see you , too . you look great . victoria : thank you . and i mean that . it 's not just because i know the only reason you 're here is because you heard about the lawsuit . neil : lily told me what 's up , and , um , i 've been trying to reassure her . victoria : as any good dad would . neil : thanks . i wanted to check in with you before i blow much more sunshine in that direction . victoria : well , i 'm sure that lily told you that michael baldwin is representing us . neil : yes , and you are in excellent hands . victoria : of course . and at this moment , he 's petitioning the judge to throw out the entire suit . neil : would n't that be nice . victoria : yes , and warranted . michael said that his arguments were well- received yesterday , and he 's cautiously optimistic , and so am i . neil : then for the moment , count me in . especially when the alternative is watching my family get torn to pieces . mattie : dad , are you okay ? cane : yeah , baby . of course i am . mattie : i know something 's wrong . cane : okay . and how do you know that ? mattie : because every time i walk into a room when you and mom are talking , you both immediately change the subject and paint these huge smiles on your face . and i 've never seen anyone stare that intently at a cup of coffee . cane : i 'm just waiting for it to cool down . mattie : dad , it 's empty . cane : hey , um , you never told me about your , uh , evening at the underground . how 'd that go ? mattie : and there it is ! do n't do that , dad ! cane : what am i doing ? mattie : changing the subject . the underground was cool , but we were talking about you . are you and mom really okay ? cane : yeah , baby , we 're okay . mattie : because i think something 's off . you know you can tell me , right ? hilary : juliet , what are you doing here ? juliet : i just checked in . hilary : i thought that leslie told you to keep a low profile until the trial . juliet : she did , but then she called me last night and said to come back . apparently things have accelerated . hilary : as in you might go to court ? juliet : maybe . maybe not . hilary : maybe not ? meaning that you might back out of this ? why ? why did n't you call me ? juliet : i was driving all night . there was n't really any time . but leslie did say we might be in a position to settle ... for a very big check . hilary : that is unacceptable , juliet . you ca n't settle , not now . i wo n't let you . leslie : your honor , despite mr. baldwin 's entreaties to the contrary , i assure you my client 's complaint against brash & sassy is quite legitimate . it 's true at the time of the sexual harassment -- michael : please , your honor . leslie : i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry . alleged sexual harassment , my client 's employment by the company was as an independent contractor . however , this , in no way , lessens the crucial role miss juliet helton played in tokyo on behalf of brash & sassy . she was responsible for securing the firm 's partnership with a top asian distributor , pulling it from the jaws of disaster after mr. ashby 's behavior thoroughly botched the deal . miss helton is a highly respected , young businesswoman who , quite logically , hoped her contribution to such a vital international undertaking would lead to an offer of full - time employment . now , it 's correct to say mr. ashby never claimed miss helton 's hypothetical hiring would be his decision , but it was in his power to eradicate any chance of brash & sassy hiring miss helton based on his recommendation or lack thereof to miss newman . thus he was able to manipulate miss helton by promising her his endorsement in exchange for sexual favors . michael : may i remind your honor and opposing counsel that there 's no proof that this alleged quid pro quo was ever offered by mr. ashby or indeed ever existed anywhere except in miss helton 's mind ? judge hazen : and may i remind you , mr. baldwin , that you 've already stated your objections to this case , and i would appreciate you offering the same courtesy to plaintiff 's counsel . leslie : thank you , your honor . once upon a time abby : so was that your childish way of telling me that you quit ? scott : no and no . abby : okay , meaning what ? i do n't have time for riddles . scott : or the skill required to solve them . abby : [ chuckles ] scott : so i 'll clarify . no , i was n't being childish , and no , i have n't quit . abby : so my dad fired you ? or laid you off or , um , put an end to your verbal contract . however he wanted to phrase it to spare your enormous yet oh - so fragile ego . scott : victor is n't overly concerned with sparing anyone 's ego . abby : except maybe his own . and maybe he thought it was better to cut you off now before he had to admit to everyone that he grossly overestimated your sustainability here in the business world . that 's to put it a kind way . scott : if that 's what kindness looks like around here , then yeah , he really messed up bringing me in . abby : okay , let 's play the whole sensitive card . you do n't have the stamina to make it here in corporate life . you 're better for flitting around the globe . scott : flitting ? abby : mm - hmm . scott : someone got a thesaurus for christmas . abby : or hiding behind your keyboard or blogging or whatever you do . that 's your thing , right ? scott : again , your kindness is overwhelming , and i 'd love to just continue yakking with you . but i 'd rather focus on my new promotion that was handed to me by victor . oh , no ! daddy did n't mention that to you ? oh . abby : i guess he did n't find it very newsworthy . scott : then i 'm happy that i can be the one to share it with you that i 'm officially now in charge of newman 's recently acquired digital news company . abby : what are you talking about ? scott : my new job . publisher and editor - in - chief of hashtag . abby : [ sighs ] sharon : here you go . sorry for the wait . sometimes that machine 's a little temperamental . zack : oh , no problem at all . thanks . sharon : oh , you 're abby newman 's friend . zack : well , someday maybe , but right now we 're just business partners . zack . sharon : i thought i recognized you . you two are working on that dating app . how 's it going ? zack : well , i know you were skeptical about the whole thing , but it 's actually coming along nicely . helps when you partner with a newman . sharon : yeah , that can open a lot of doors . zack : but i 've already said too much . abby will be here any minute , and she 's very strict about confidentiality . sharon : did n't you bring the project to her ? zack : ca n't say . sharon : do n't worry . i got you . tessa : what are you doing in genoa city ? what do you want from me ? ! cane : all right , sweetheart , i love you 're concerned , okay , but there 's nothing to worry about . mattie : maybe i should decide that for myself . cane : look at you all grown up , huh ? okay . i 'll tell you . mattie : finally . cane : it 's nothing . it 's nothing . it 's just boring work stuff . mattie : but what kind of stuff ? are your jobs on the line ? cane : no , no , no , sweetie . no , everything 's fine . it 's just , you know , just office politics . you know , who 's the boss of who and ... mattie : whom . but what 's gon na happen ? cane : i do n't know . it 'll blow over . and , uh , everything will be fine , and , you know ... but listen , i want you to promise me that you 're not gon na worry about my work problems , okay ? can you do that for your dad ? mattie : i guess we can make that deal . cane : oh . you 're gon na make a deal with me , huh ? you little operator . mattie : i 'll let you handle whatever 's going on , and i wo n't worry about it . cane : deal . mattie : as long as you take your own advice . cane : which is what ? mattie : the same thing you always tell me when i 'm about to have an academic meltdown . it 's not as bad as it seems , and it 'll look better in the morning . every time i say it , it turns out to be true . cane : i like that . i 'm gon na write that down , and i 'll keep it in my pocket , okay ? come here . come here . oh , baby , it 's gon na be okay . neil : you know , i was talking to lily last night , seeing the massive weight of this lawsuit hanging over her , just waiting to crush her if this thing goes the wrong way , you know ? maybe i was more reassuring than i should have been . a lot of factors go into a lawsuit in a case like this , especially if there 's no evidence . victoria : that 's why i 'm confident we 're gon na win . juliet 's story is absurd . no reasonable person would take her side . and cane would never propose an arrangement like this . it 's just not him . unless there are facts that i do n't have , in which case i 'm sure you would give them to me . right ? neil : i am not withholding any bombshells here . i 've seen cases like this . all you can do is walk in there armed with as much information as possible . the last thing you want is any surprises . victoria : i think it all boils down to this . juliet has some very compelling reasons to want to shake down brash & sassy . she 's disgruntled , she was fired , and she 's in debt , whereas there is no conceivable reason why cane would have done what she proposes he did . it 's that simple , and i think it 's being thrown out of the court as we speak . leslie : in cane ashby 's hotel room , miss helton surrendered her dignity and struck a devil 's deal with brash & sassy and its representative , cane ashby . when she was passed over a short time later for the full - time position of division manager for asia , something highly unusual happened . an entirely new position with lesser title and pay , but still full - time , was created and offered to my client the very same day . quid pro quo in action , your honor . but despite her outstanding job performance , she was still fired for another male superior 's error , just as cane ashby had been planning from the moment he 'd finished with her in that tokyo hotel room . michael : the only actual fact , your honor , in that strikingly creative story ms . shelby just told is that her client , juliet helton , was fired from brash & sassy . everything else , particularly the , uh , personal agenda and motivations ascribed to mr. ashby , is total conjecture . leslie : i maintain mr. ashby 's agenda . the removal of miss helton from the workplace was hardly private . we have a witness prepared to testify who heard mr. ashby tell my client to move back to tokyo . michael : nevertheless , the complaint is sexual harassment . and ms . shelby 's offered no proof that a sexual encounter ever occurred , much less any actionable proposal . leslie : oh , rest assured , mr. baldwin , i fully intend to present admissible evidence that will fully back up my client 's claim . i 'll begin immediately and continue until your honor 's ready to rule . judge hazen : i 'm prepared to rule now , counselors . zack : you really need to pull it together and stop the freak - out . the nice people here are gon na think you have a screw loose . tessa : answer my question . why 'd you follow me here ? zack : oh , save it for an angry ballad , okay ? i had no idea you ended up here , and i really do n't care . tessa : like i believe anything that comes out of your mouth . zack : look at me . i 'm an entirely different person , a respectable , young entrepreneur . a billion - dollar blue - chip company just backed my new project , and i never think about chicago . those years do n't even seem real to me . tessa : maybe for you . but some things are just too horrible to forget . zack : then fake it and move on . i have a real life now , and i do n't want you in it . tessa : and i 'm not in it . so let 's just agree this is the last conversation we 'll ever have . sharon ! hi . how are you ? sharon : i ca n't complain . but are you okay ? tessa : me ? yeah , i 'm great . sharon : really ? because it seemed like you were in a weirdly stressful conversation over there . do you know that guy ? reed : [ sighs ] [ cell phone chimes ] reed : [ sighs ] hey , mattie . um , it 's so cool that you 're here . mattie : hey . [ chuckles ] reed : i wanted to text you , but i did n't have your digits or chat handle or your name . [ chuckles ] mattie : i , uh , do n't give my personal information to strangers . reed : i thought we were friends , or at least becoming . mattie : i agree with the latter part of that sentence . reed : just the second ? mattie : what can i say ? i 'm a cautious girl . reed : that 's good . mattie : with a very strong dad and a jock for a brother . reed : [ chuckles ] okay , um , also good . it 's good to have people looking out for you . mattie : yeah . [ chuckles ] um , what about you ? reed : oh , my little sister practices karate , so i 'm all set . [ both chuckle ] juliet : okay , explain what would be so wrong with a cashier 's check dated this week , no public inquisition required . it 's a win / win . hilary : it 's a lose / lose , and here 's why . first , you will only get a fraction of what you deserve . juliet : i do n't need it to be huge . just enough to help me relocate , pay off my debts , get my life moving forward again . hilary : you do n't need to be a lawyer to know that you 've been used . you 've been taken advantage of in the most demeaning way . you suffered emotionally because of what cane did to you . and you deserve adequate compensation for your pain and your suffering . juliet : [ sighs ] i 'm just so tired of fighting . hilary : do n't , do n't . do n't you do that . i understand that you are tired , but you ca n't give up , okay ? not now , not when you are -- when you are this close . juliet : i 'm not giving up . i want brash & sassy to pay , but i still do n't get what 's so wrong with a settlement . then this would all be over . hilary : a settlement out of court , it 's a victory , yes . you were right , and cane was wrong , so victoria will have to open up her purse strings . juliet : hilary , i know all of that . hilary : but even though you win , not many people will see it that way . they will look at you taking a settlement meaning that you do n't have a case . the company , they just paid you off just to get rid of you . and you know what that makes you ? a shakedown artist . that means that you were just after the money . juliet : that is so unfair ! hilary : and it is untrue . so do you want brash & sassy to get a free pass , or do you want the truth to come out ? juliet : but once i pull the trigger , anything could go public . i ca n't count on any part of my life staying private . my reputation could end up permanently slimed . hilary : i understand that it 's a gamble , but i think that the reward , it justifies the risk . [ cell phone rings ] juliet : it 's leslie . the judge must have ruled . cane : is there any word ? victoria : no , nothing . michael said that they 'd resume the hearing first thing this morning . cane : it 's probably still going on . leslie 's in high attack mode . victoria : yeah , well , that may be true , but she does n't have a case . i predict this whole ordeal ends with a phone call from michael . michael , hey . is the hearing over ? cane : what did the judge say ? michael : he refuses to dismiss the suit . i 'm sorry . we 're going to trial . victoria : michael , how could you let this happen ? cane : [ sighs ] i ca n't believe the judge sided with juliet . michael : he did n't side with her . victoria : or us , obviously . michael : this was n't about taking sides . he 's not allowed to . he 's a judge . this was merely a formality to allow the case to move forward . victoria : yes , well , last night you thought he would throw it out . michael : not many of leslie 's cases are thrown out , and this morning i was reminded why she has this ... incredible ability to captivate judges and juries . she takes facts such that she has , sometimes none at all , and she weaves them into these expertly crafted stories that make them feel however it is she wants them to . she is a spellbinder . cane : juliet 's covered , and we 've got you . michael : if you would care to vent , go ahead . i have developed an incredibly thick skin . but , however , if you 'd let me continue , i was going to say that for this trial , leslie has to show evidence . she has already promised judge hazen she would . cane : how is that even possible ? michael : it is n't . victoria : because juliet 's allegations are all lies . cane : well , that 's not gon na stop her from accusing me of sexual harassment , and in hours , the world 's gon na believe her baseless accusations . michael : cane , cane , let 's focus on what 's gon na destroy this idiotic lawsuit -- no evidence . leslie may be an excellent attorney , but she does n't have magical powers . leslie : that might not be true , michael . if you and victoria want me to , i can make that big , harsh media spotlight on brash & sassy disappear . reed : thanks again for your number . um , i promise i wo n't call you all the time . mattie : wait , you want my number , but you wo n't call ? reed : not all the time . like , i wo n't hound you . i 'm not some stalker or something . mattie : [ chuckles ] okay , um , good to know . reed : so what is this waltzing matilda you put underneath your number ? mattie : it 's my personal handle . reed : oh , cool . does it have a meaning ? mattie : it 's a song . reed : that 's awesome . i do n't think i 've ever heard it . mattie : yeah , it 's australian . my dad 's originally from there . reed : no way . that 's really cool . mattie : my real name is matilda , but i do n't waltz . and heads up -- it 's mattie , never matilda . reed : got it . mattie : what are you doing ? reed : getting ready to learn waltzing matilda . sing it for me . mattie : [ chuckles ] not gon na happen . reed : fine . i 'll just learn it on my own time . maybe i 'll headline the open mic with it . [ laughs ] tessa : yeah , i do know that guy from chicago . uh , it 's the one i told noah about . sharon : the dating - app guy ? he 's the ex - boyfriend who had you so shaken up ? tessa : uh , he was never really my boyfriend . just a face from the past . i saw him , i was a little stunned . but seriously , it 's no big deal . sharon : really ? because noah said it seemed like you were afraid to be in the same city with him , almost as if you would pack your bags and go . tessa : well , noah 's sweet to worry . it 's nice to have someone look out for me . sharon : he 's like that . tessa : noah 's got nothing to be concerned about . scott : [ sighs ] abby : what 's this ? scott : caffé mocha . peace offering . abby : thank you . scott : you changed seats . abby : you know what ? who am i kidding ? do you know the hoops that i had to jump through to get my dad to sign off on my incubator project ? [ scoffs ] and you , you 've been here less than six months , and my dad basically hands you a gift - wrapped digital media company . so he 's made it very clear which child he wants sitting in his chair . oh , wait ! you 're not even his child . scott : abby , the hashtag thing only happened because of you , from your list of top potential media acquisitions . he picked your first choice . abby : is that supposed to make me feel better ? scott : yes ? abby : well , it 's not doing it for me , so can you please just go ? i ca n't even look at you right now . scott : abby , why are you mad at me ? were you hoping that your dad was eyeing digital media for a new place for you ? i mean , how does that even make sense ? abby : i was hoping that i could be involved in another way other than compiling lists like some intern in the research department . i thought maybe he 'd let me decide how i wanted to contribute , from building it from the ground up . scott : with respect , i 've spent my entire career preparing for this . you have zero experience . abby : that could n't be further from the truth . scott : what , then ? [ scoffs ] please tell me you 're not thinking of dredging up your naked heiress days . abby : yeah , i am , and i will . scott : that 's your media experience ? pop - up nakedness ? abby : much like you , scott , my nudity was a tool . scott : ah . abby : i was an activist . i staged protests . i brought awareness to the plight of thousands of animals . and it worked . unless you think suffering only counts when you can speak and walk upright . scott : no , and completely off point . abby : you know what ? go ahead . go ahead . laugh it up with my dad . take tequila shots . but i am going to prove to him my value when i make this company a fortune . scott : probably . but do n't you think the credit should go to the creators and the engineers of these startups , not their landlady ? abby : it 's called teamwork . a brilliant idea mixed with vision and investment . that makes a profitable reality . it sounds a lot more difficult than crossing out semicolons . do n't you think ? scott : fyi -- you 're referring to a copy editor . i 'm a news editor . and i 'm willing to bet that you and a semicolon are n't exactly on speaking terms . abby : [ scoffs ] my incubator is going to dominate your digital media company in success and revenue . semicolon , game on . victoria : so this is when the highway robbery begins . that 's why you 're here , is n't it ? leslie : it 's called negotiating a fair settlement . why put yourselves through the time and expenses of a trial when we can wrap this up cleanly and privately ? cane : you and i worked together at jabot . have you ever seen me behave like this with an employee ever ? leslie : sexual harassment usually takes place behind closed doors . that 's why so many women do n't come forward -- fear of not being believed . victoria : okay , well , i support all women who have the courage to speak up about something like that -- when they 're telling the truth . michael : just to be clear , how much are we talking about here ? victoria : no , michael , please . i already gave juliet a very generous severance package . [ laughs ] you 've got to be kidding . that 's more than she would earn in a decade working here . leslie : maybe next time you 'll have stronger protections in place for the women you employ . cane : leslie , hang on a second . please , please , please . believe me , she 's lying . she 's lying , okay ? i promise you she 's lying . leslie : discuss and get back to me . cane : [ sighs ] victoria : what do we do ? cane : it 's obvious what we do . you need to settle . scott : what a great idea . this is exactly what i needed today . hello ? sharon : what 's your professional stance on weird coincidences ? scott : oh , okay . i was n't expecting that . um , nothing ironclad . in general , i would say the weirder , the fishier . why do you ask ? sharon : well , abby 's new partner for the startup , zack , is the same guy who almost ran noah 's friend tessa out of town . scott : oh . you know , i see your weird coincidence and i raise you one more . abby was just now laying it on pretty thick about how much of the green stuff she was gon na be making from that exact same startup . but you think this guy could be trouble ? abby : i can not tell you how eager i am to launch our online dating app revolution . zack : especially now that we 're cleared for beta testing . abby : yeah , real - world users . how exciting . zack : a limited but very real pool of not - bots . abby : well , i 'm not a robot , and i 'm single . sign me up . it 's okay if i 'm part of the testing pool , yeah ? zack : it 's better than okay . in fact , why do n't we dive in together ? abby : hmm . my , my , my . this guy is definitely a cut above the usual online- dating suspects . [ laughs ] zack : and with one swipe , the concierge will set up your date . leslie : hey , neil . neil : hey , hey , leslie . thank you so much for joining me . you look great . leslie : thank you . your voicemail was a pleasant surprise . neil : yeah ? leslie : you know , i 'll amend . definitely pleasant , not so surprising . given the timing , i 'm sure this is n't a meeting about contributing to one of your foundations . neil : [ chuckles ] you 're funny . well , you know that we 're always accepting contributions , but no . that 's not what this is about . leslie : okay , listen , neil , i understand the allegations concerning your son- in - law are upsetting , but you know i 'm just doing my job , right ? it 's nothing personal . neil : yeah , well , when it comes to my family , it 's always personal . you know what a good relationship i have with cane , right ? and he 's very adamant that these charges are completely false . leslie : i respect your judgment and your commitment to family . but you know i 'm also bound by attorney / client privilege . neil : this i am well aware of . you ca n't talk about it . but i 'm just curious . how did you end up with this case ? leslie : it was a referral from hilary curtis . [ cell phone chimes ] leslie : excuse me . sharon : i only know zack as a customer at crimson lights . and he seemed charming and successful . tessa 's given me no reason to doubt that . she says that they barely know each other and noah 's simply exaggerating about her reaction to seeing him in genoa city for the first time . scott : yeah , but you 're not buying it . sharon : i only know what i saw today . tessa and zack were in what seemed like an intense conversation , though , mind you , i could n't hear them . scott : well , that 's not really much to go on . sharon : well , i also saw him with abby , and she seems -- she feels pretty solid about him . but , i mean , how dangerous can he be ? the guy makes a dating app for a living . scott : wait . abby 's cutting - edge , mega - million - dollar project is a dating app ? [ laughs ] sharon : the only reason why i 'm butting into this is out of concern for my son . if the problem is n't zack , then it 's tessa , and i want to be supportive of my son 's relationship . scott : but you think something 's off with that girl . sharon : it 's a mother 's intuition . scott : a mother with bad vibes about the women her adult son chooses to date . now , why does that sound so familiar ? sharon : i 'm just looking out for my son . please do n't bring lauren into this . scott : all right . abby : so , why not sample our product with the guy who knows it best . that 's what you 're trying to say , right ? zack : that seems like the logical choice . ca n't hurt to find out if the creator of this app is a halfway decent date . abby : okay , then . let 's swipe . [ both laugh ] leslie : thanks for lunch , neil . it 's always good to see you . neil : always good to see you , too . hey . we 'll talk soon , all right ? leslie : yep . neil : bye . hey . how 'd you get in the middle of all this ? hilary : middle of what , neil ? neil : do n't play me . i know that you hooked up leslie with juliet . hilary : so ? neil : so ... when are you gon na stop trying to tear my family apart ? cane : if leslie has no evidence , the judge should 've dismissed the case . michael : all right , listen to me . as i said , she is a spellbinder . leslie will make sure that you guys have another scandal on your hands . cane : all the more reason to settle . victoria : oh , really ? do you think it 's worth that amount right there ? do you ? cane : oh , my god . they 're both out of their minds . michael : all right , of course she 's gon na come out strong . let me talk to leslie . i think i can put a healthy dent in this . victoria : then what , michael ? what about the public 's perception ? this brand is gon na be damaged beyond repair , and i am not gon na let this company become a target for future blackmail from the next employee who gets fired or laid off . i 'm not gon na let that happen . they want to battle ? fine . we 'll fight , and we 'll win . i 'm sorry , cane . i 'm sorry that you and your family are put in the middle of this , but we 're gon na be redeemed . cane : i need to go and be with my family . excuse me . victoria : all right , let 's discuss our options . michael : i can file a motion to expedite discovery , force leslie 's hand . she claims to have a strong case . we 'll force her to present it . victoria : michael , it 's imperative that we keep this very quiet and make as little noise as possible moving forward . michael : i have to say , uh , you sounded a lot like your father just now . victoria : well , if that 's what it takes .

so , since you set up this meeting , and you 're here in a business capacity , i hope that means you 're considering coming back to lp . tessa : i am . ana : i 'm very glad to hear that . tessa : there are just a few things that we need to discuss first . ana : lay them on me . tessa : um , okay , we -- we need to learn how to communicate better . mariah : and no fixating what her image should be or insisting that she conform to your vision . ana : yeah , and i 'm cool with you looking out for your client , but i really do want to hear what she has to say . tessa : hey , i 've got it from here , and you have that thing with sharon , right ? mariah : yeah , i do . call me if you need anything ? okay . i look forward to doing business with you . ana : likewise . mariah : i 'll see you guys in a little bit . ana : i 'm ready to give this another shot , if you are . tessa : i am , if we can come to an agreement . ana : you tell me your terms , and i 'll tell you mine . rey : i 'm not even close to being done with you . sharon : good , because you 're a part of my life now . you ca n't just quit and run away . rey : i 'm not going anywhere . sharon : i know we can get through this . rey : as long as we can get on the same page about what the problem is , then we can find the best way to move forward . sharon : family meeting ? you first . rey : ever since adam 's gotten back , you 've been different . he distracts you . you 're putting him first . and i hate to say this , but ... you 're letting him come between us . sharon : i never meant to . rey : no , i know . i realize that . but he knows how to get you drop everything and come running to his side . sharon : that 's partly my fault . rey : no , no , no . do not make excuses for him . he is taking advantage of your compassion , and ... the obvious connection you still both share . sharon : it 's complicated , rey . rey : yeah , well , that 's why i need you to be honest with me and with yourself about what exactly is going on between the two of you . kevin : you 're not gon na kill chloe . adam : what makes you so sure ? kevin : because if you wanted her dead , she 'd be dead already . adam : hmm . well , keep pushing me , kevin . there 's no telling what i might do . kevin : [ sighs ] we 're on a path towards mutually assured destruction . neither of us want the fallout , and you sure as hell do not want the police involved . adam : you 're not going to the cops because you do n't want anybody knowing your precious chloe is still alive . i saw the desperation on your phone call . it 's obvious there 's nothing you would n't do to get her back . but nothing in life is free , kevin . kevin : what do you want ? adam : phyllis . she should have never been dragged into this in the first place . kevin : you said you did n't care about her . adam : [ clears throat ] here 's the deal , and i suggest you take it . free phyllis , i 'll release chloe . she can go back to portland , never to return . i 'd say that 's more than generous , under the circumstances . kevin : you expect me to say thank you ? adam : it would n't hurt . i mean , i cut chloe a break . because i know delia 's death sent her over the edge . kevin : the death that you caused ! adam : [ sighs ] if you 're smart , you will watch your step , kevin . make no mistake , she comes after me one more time , and that 'll be the last thing that she ever does . kevin : fine . adam : i 'm sorry ? kevin : we have a deal . adam : good ! there 's just one more thing . tessa : all i want is for us to work together -- you , me , and mariah . we need to learn how to interact without all this weird tension . ana : i can do that . tessa : we need to respect each other 's opinions . ana : when i 'm passionate about something , it 's just -- it 's hard for me to back down . tessa : hey , so is mariah , which leaves me in the middle , which i hate . ana : so we 'll learn to make this a partnership . tessa : where everyone plays an important role . look , i know that i need your insight and talent as a producer . ana : thank you . tessa : but it 's my image and voice that are out there . so i 'll respect your eye and ear if you respect the fact that i need to approve everything that goes out to the public . ana : fair enough . and if you do n't agree with something , speak up . do n't let mariah do your dirty work . tessa : point taken . ana : but , remember , though , music is a business . and part of my job is to help you to create songs that generate tons of downloads and sell out venues . tessa : which is what i want , too . ana : so , here 's what i 'm proposing . you stay true to yourself and your sound , and i 'll just elevate it . add a little polish and shine . think we can meet in the middle ? sharon : maybe adam 's presence has unsettled me a little more than i expected . you know , it 's all been so overwhelming . maybe i could have handled it better , but ... i care about him . and i want to help . rey : he is n't your responsibility . sharon : i know , but i 'm the one who convinced him to come back to genoa city , and now i 'm the one who 's racked with guilt . rey : why ? sharon : because i did n't know what he would do when he got his memory back , and i feel like i 've unleashed a monster . rey : sharon , this -- sharon : i did n't expect that he was gon na try to take christian from nick , and i 'm so damn mad ! rey : at me ? sharon : no ! at myself . for letting him come between us . rey : he knows that 's how to get inside your head . sharon : maybe hs gotten inside your head . rey : what is that supposed to mean ? sharon : well , you work for nick . nick hates adam . he 's playing into all of your worst suspicions . rey : no , nick does n't have to say anything to me . i 've seen enough to draw my own conclusions about adam , believe me . [ knocking on door ] mariah : hey ! sharon : mariah ! hi ! rey : hey . hey . sharon : what brings you by ? mariah : uh , the date we made ? which you obviously forgot about . that 's okay . i have some really exciting news that i 've been dying to share with you . unless this is a bad time . rey : it 's fine . i do n't want to keep you from your mother - daughter plans . sharon : what do you say we go to society ? it 'll be my treat . mariah : i say `` what are we waiting for ? `` sharon : okay . we 'll just pick this up later . rey : i will be here . have fun . mariah : that 's my middle name . bye . kevin : what else do you want ? adam : you in town a little longer . kevin : how much is a little longer ? adam : until i say you can go . kevin : why ? adam : i think you might be quite useful . kevin : you promised -- adam : look , this is n't a negotiation , kevin . you do n't get to argue or ask questions . you do as you 're told . because i own you now . unless you want to change your mind about chloe , that is . kevin : you bastard . adam : hey , there 's no need for name - calling , kevin . all right ? you play by my rules , i will ensure chloe stays dead to the world . kevin : [ sighs ] adam : and then we all can live happily ever after . what do you say ? yes or no ? kevin : yes . adam : see ? that was n't so difficult . michael : adam . wow . welcome home . adam : it 's good to see you , michael . michael : you , too . adam : well , if you both will excuse me , i have somewhere to be . later . [ clears throat ] michael : you want to tell me what the hell you 're doing with adam newman ? kevin : i was n't doing anything with adam . michael : why are you here ? kevin : i 'd rather not say , if you do n't mind . michael : i do . very much . follow me . jack : morgan , i have to say , congratulations . that pop - up shop was out of this world . lauren : one of the best events we 've ever had . oh , here 's to social media . jack : yeah , those influencers . who knew ? lauren : right ? they spread the word and started a fire . jack : long may it blaze . lauren : mm - hmm , and what about you ? oh , my goodness . there were so many moving parts , and you just put it together flawlessly . jack : what about you ? marching around that place like you owned it . did you see her charming all those influencers , dropping the perfect sound byte for the press ? lauren : such a flatterer . well , it 's true . you were powerful , eloquent , and i do n't think there was one selfie that you were n't a part of . lauren : [ laughs ] you 're gon na have to teach me how you just float through a room and glide into place . lauren : [ giggles ] and what about this one ? who perfected the art of photo- bombing . jack : wait , was i that bad ? lauren : no , you were that good . i mean , if you worked for the competition , i 'd say you were shameless . [ laughs ] but there was n't one photo op where he was n't holding something with the jcv logo on it . jack : come on , it 's a great marketing technique . i learned it from summer . well , i am so glad you came out to l.a. , jack . having you both at the event , showing what a fabulous team you are , it made a huge impact on our employees , our customers , and the press was eating it up . # squadgoals . lauren : ooh , i like that . [ laughter ] jack : we are a pretty good team , are n't we ? lauren : yes , we are . so how about a toast ? to today 's success and many more to come . hear , hear . jack : cheers ! [ glasses clinking ] mariah : raise a glass . sharon : are you going to finally tell me what we 're toasting ? mariah : you are looking at the new head of power communications . sharon : neil 's pr firm ? mariah : mm - hmm . sharon : oh , my gosh . sweetheart , that 's -- mariah : [ giggles ] sharon : that 's amazing ! mariah : cheers . sharon : cheers ! mariah : thank you . i know , right ? sharon : so tell me everything . how did this happen ? mariah : well , when i told devon i was gon na step away from gc buzz , he made the offer . he told me that i could take the company in any direction i wanted , you know , really make it mine . sharon : i am proud of you . mariah : it is a very big step . sharon : well , you 've been doing pr for years , so now you can just make it official . mariah : how so ? sharon : who spread the word about lola 's pop - up restaurant ? and who educated the public about liver donations ? i mean , you 've been the cheerleader for everyone you love who 's needed someone in their corner . mariah : yeah ? sharon : you got this . mariah : yeah ! [ giggles ] sharon : how 's it going so far ? mariah : uh , i do n't know . i 'll let you know when i get over the initial shock of it all , but the one good thing is tessa is my first client . sharon : hmm , well , start local , go global . mariah : my thoughts exactly . but enough about me . what 's going on with you and rey ? sharon : what makes you think -- mariah : every time i see the two of you , you guys are all over each other , like high - schoolers , you know , giggling . but today , not so much . so what 's going on ? sharon : rey 's concerned that adam 's back in my life . mariah : should he be ? sharon : of course not ! mariah : mom ... sharon : i 'm just helping adam . it 's totally innocent . mariah : okay , maybe this is none of my business , but you know that you can tell me the truth . and you 're always helping other people , so ... maybe let me help you for a change . sharon : adam 's been through a lot lately . he 's living at the tack house , which is way too close for rey 's comfort . he 's trying to contact chelsea , who 's clearly moved on , told me has unresolved feelings for me , and there 's all this new in - family nonsense -- mariah : wait , wait . stop . go back to that thing for a second , that `` feelings `` thing . what is that about ? [ knocking on door ] adam : hey . rey : what 's up ? adam : would you , uh , mind telling sharon that i 'm here ? rey : she 's out . adam : well , tell her i dropped by . rey : before you go ... there 's a few things we need to discuss . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . michael : if i did n't know better ... i 'd say you were avoiding me . kevin : [ scoffs ] why would i do that ? michael : what was that comment about only being here for 48 hours ? kevin : i have to get home to bella ! michael : are you sure that 's all there is ? kevin : can you maybe not read into every little word ? is that how you treat your clients ? michael : no . i save it up . for people who are acting squirrelly . so you look me in the eye and you tell me nothing 's wrong . kevin : nothing is wrong . michael : glad to hear it . kevin : now , if this portion of the interrogation is over , i have things i have to do . michael : well , do n't let me stop you . kevin : [ sighs ] i will touch base before i leave . it was good to see you . michael : yeah . adam : well , i should explain what you walked in on yesterday . rey : yeah , i know what i saw . adam : no , it was just a hug between two friends for encouragement and comfort . rey : save it . you 're playing games with sharon 's head . adam : i do n't know where you 're getting that from . rey : well , i am well aware of the rich history the two of you share , and i can not for the life of me figure out how she found it within herself to forgive you . adam : mm , well , she 's a good woman . rey : yeah . she 's also moved on since you were gone . so whatever you had before , let it go , it 's dead . her future 's with me . adam : noted . rey : you want a piece of advice ? you got a second chance . use it . and go get a life somewhere else because if you do n't leave sharon alone , i 'm gon na make you wish you did , do you got that ? adam : loud and clear . mariah : unresolved feelings . i mean , how dare he ? that is totally inappropriate . you are in a relationship with rey . sharon : he was just worked up because he ca n't be with chelsea . mariah : so he 's using you as his stand - in girlfriend . that 's not good . sharon : he feels safe with me . that 's all . mariah : okay . i do n't really care why he said it . i just want to know how you felt when he did . the ugly , awful , inappropriate truth . sharon : it was ... unnerving . mariah : because you felt something you did n't expect , and you 're not sure if you 're feeling the same way ? sharon : no . not at all . mariah : okay , well , what did you say ? sharon : i told him that there 's nothing between us . i shut him down . i told him he should have stayed in vegas . mariah : okay , and the only way to make sure that nothing ever happens is to stay away from him . sharon : i know , but ... mariah : look , mom , it 's a miracle that he 's alive . and i know it 's hard to stop caring because of all of that history that you have together , but ... please do n't let him ruin what you have with rey . sharon : i won't . i 'm serious . mariah : okay . sharon : you do n't believe me ? mariah : no , i do , but the person that you need to convince is not me . it 's rey . lauren : mmm ! that was so good . it was delicious . jack : nothing like some unbridled success to work up an appetite . lauren : now , do i have to institute a no - screens - at - the - table rule ? jack : sorry , you got to see this . lauren : what ? jack : jabot collective and fenmore 's -- look at all the likes . lauren : wow ! you want exposure for your new baby ? l.a. is the place to get it . and once we lock down a few more influencers ... lauren : let 's go after the celebrities and get them to wear our products on the red carpet . that will send our sales through the roof . it also would n't hurt to get the rest of your team out here . jack : good idea . count on it . great . if you will excuse me , i better get back to work . it was wonderful having you here . jack : excellent job , morgan . could n't have done it without you two . lauren : [ chuckles ] goodbye ! jack : [ sighs ] lauren : she 's married . jack : that 's not what i was thinking . lauren : oh . looks too good to keep it yourself . jack : i was thinking we should strike while the iron 's hot , maybe extend this trip a few days . seriously , meet more of your west coast employees , schmooze with a few stylists and starlets and maybe get a place by the shore where we can relax afterwards . or we could stay close to the store . lauren : jack . there 's more to why you want to extend this trip . jack : is there ? lauren : yes . and i think it 's high time we finally talk about it . jack : all right , dr . freud . face to face , i 'm ready to hear my diagnosis . lauren : well , if you ca n't see it , then it 's up to me , your dear friend , to tell you . jack : oh , dear . what are the symptoms ? lauren : your sudden decision to come on this trip , and now wanting to extend it . jack : i thought that was just my being an astute businessman . lauren : i think the technical term is called `` avoidance . `` jack , you 've been through so much , and i know that dina is in a memory care facility and you 're not taking care of her day - to - day , but ... you worry about her all the time . and then you launch the jabot collective , which is an achievement of epic proportions , even without phyllis trying to sabotage us . and then , of course , there 's the heartbreak of kerry 's betrayal . i mean , even this trip . yeah , on the surface , it 's business , but ... is n't it really just an escape from all the bad stuff ? hanging out in the city of angels is a lot sweeter than facing the reality that 's lost its charm . and then you have the day - to - day pressures of running jabot . but then you go home to an empty house . jack : wow , you missed your calling . lauren : a lonely heart is a heavy burden . jack : you put it that way , i guess you 're right . lauren : i know i 'm right . just ask my husband . jack : the house is n't what it used to be . ashley 's in paris , mom is n't in the house anymore , billy is with victoria , kyle and lola are together now , and ... lauren : i know , but staying a few extra days , it 's not gon na make those feelings disappear . jack : i know . lauren : so what am i going to do with you ? jack : you 've already done it . you 've made me see that i 've got to make some changes in my life . and i will.-lauren : will you ? jack : you know me . i always like a good challenge . lauren : i 'm gon na hold you to that . ana : this will absolutely fall in love with you . tessa : you really think so ? ana : your sound is so pure . it 's so honest and real . and with just the slightest bit of tweaking -- tessa : okay , let 's do it . let 's just go to the studio . ana : [ laughs ] just say the word . tessa : [ chuckles ] mariah : well , it looks like you guys worked everything out . tessa : yeah . have a seat . ana : it 's been a very productive meeting . mariah : all right , fill me in . tessa : okay , well , we outlined how we can all work together . ana : now , i know we each have very strong opinions , and there might be disagreements , but i think as long as we remember that we 're all on the same side ... tessa : and we treat each other with respect ... ana : we could be amazing . mariah : well , i am definitely on board with that . i just want tessa to be happy . wait , scratch that . i want all of us to be happy and feel successful with what we 're doing here . ana : [ chuckles ] this is humongous , you guys . you 're running power communications , i 'm stepping up at lp . tessa is heading back into the studio . mariah : let 's knock 'em dead . ana : and show the world that we 're a force to reckoned with . mariah : [ giggles ] tessa : to us . mariah : to us . ana : to us . [ giggling ] rey : how 'd things go with mariah ? sharon : fabulous . i 'd like to get back to our earlier conversation . rey : i do n't have much left to say . sharon : okay . then you can just listen . nothing is more important to me than making things right between us . rey : this adam ... sharon : i know you think he 's trying to manipulate me , but i 'm sitting here , i 'm promising you , i 'm not gon na let him or anyone else come in the way of what we have . rey : i have been through this before with mia . i do not want an encore . sharon : i 'm not mia ! rey : i know . i loved because ... sharon : loved ? rey : i love you because of your honesty and your beautiful heart , but this -- sharon : no buts . rey : what do you want me to do ? sharon : [ sighs ] trust me . trust us . have faith and know that there 's nothing we ca n't get through , as long we are together . tessa : this is really happening . and i do n't have sell my soul to do it ! mariah : my girlfriend , on her way to stardom . tessa : my girlfriend , on the brink of becoming the biggest image - maker in the world . mariah : i have never done anything like this in my life . tessa : are you kidding ? you are driven , loyal . you bring out the best in everyone . and you fight for what you believe in . so thank you for believing in me . rey : you have no idea how much i love you . sharon : but do you trust me ? rey : [ sighs ] we 've both been hurt by lies before . sharon : i do n't want to hurt you like that . rey : yeah , but this -- every time i see adam , i -- sharon : no . no talking about him . let 's just talk about us . right here , right now . you are the one that i want . and need . and the only one i love . adam : yeah , hi , i would like to cancel a reservation that i placed earlier . it 's adam newman . uh , no , i just realized i 'm better off staying right where i am . kevin : [ sighs ] damn it . damn it ! michael : looks like you 've got some explaining to do . next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... nick : you 're lucky i do n't shove those papers right down your throat . victoria : what happened ? nick : adam 's suing me for full custody of christian . billy : what the hell are you doing here , at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . do tell . why the sudden interest in adam newman ? | ana , mariah , and tessa agree to listen and resect each other 's opinions when it comes to tessa 's music career and then they toast to their new working relationship . mariah and sharon meet for lunch and mariah agrees with rey that adam is getting into her head . mariah advises sharon to make rey understand that their relationship is the most important thing in her life . adam goes looking for sharon and rey warns that if he does n't stay away from sharon he will make him wish that he had left her alone . jack and lauren have a successful trip to los angeles promoting jabot collective and they are very pleased about how the influencers are promoting jabot products . adam admits to kevin that he has chloe and allows him to talk to her by phone once kevin agres to release phylis . adam agrees to release chloe if kevin stays in town a little longer and does exactly what he tells him to do . michael follows kevin to adam 's office and is not happy that his brother is meeting with adam . michael and kevin have a long talk where kevin denies that he has anything to do with adam . kevin is shocked then when he goes to the place where phyllis is she is gone . michael arrives and sees where kevin was holding phyllis and asks him to explain what trouble he is in this time . adam cancels his plane reservation because he has decided to stay in town . |

kyle : something that i ca n't discuss with someone who does n't work at the company . summer : please , kyle , i know enough about your family 's business and my family 's business to know that it 's never just business . it 's usually personal . kyle : not necessarily . summer : look at what it 's doing to us right now . you know , fine . kyle , if you 're not gon na talk with me about it , then i 'm just gon na -- kyle : summer , wait . please just -- do n't go . summer : why ?

we 're kind of having a moment here . summer : kyle , look , if what we have is going to be real or have any kind of future , you need to tell me what 's going on . okay , i can not have another relationship built on lies . easy , kyle , just be honest with me . please . kyle : all right . but just not here . summer : okay . kyle : come with me . victor : are you implying that i do n't care about ashley 's wellbeing ? phyllis : i 'm not debating that you do n't care . victor : ah . phyllis : i 'm just saying whatever you were upset about earlier , that was n't about ashley 's health . victor : and how the hell do you know that ? are you reading cards now ? a soothsayer or what ? phyllis : you are not the type of guy that gets overly emotional when you knew ashley was gon na have a full recovery . i mean , you 're about the facts , not supposition . to show that kind of vulnerability in front of jack , that 's -- that 's kind of weird . victor : really ? you know that , right ? you do n't understand that jack and i have different relationship now . phyllis : yeah , but you see , coming together for a successful business merger is one thing , but to have heart - to - hearts with a man you wanted to destroy for years -- i mean , that 's another . victor : yeah , kind of hard to understand . he and i have hated each other 's guts for decades , you know . now to think that the battles between us are over with , that 's kind of difficult to accept . but that 's how it is . phyllis : that almost sounded sincere . victor : what do you mean ? only almost ? am i slipping , or what ? phyllis : oh , no , no , no , no , no . i would n't say that . victor : so many people have fought jack and me over the years , you know , a long line of enemies . hope you will not become one of them . your husband would n't appreciate that . phyllis : i do apologize for overreacting . victor : good . phyllis : yeah . and , you know , what you say , it is very true . old habits die hard . victor : mm - hmm . phyllis : i did n't mean to go looking for any kind of trouble . victor : now you know there 's no trouble to look for . ashley : you want to frame victor for embezzlement ? marco : and then take the whole company , yes . it 's already in motion , ash . billy , kyle , chelsea , gabriel -- they 're all on board . ashley : wait , wait . what are you thinking about -- gabriel ? you do n't trust him , remember ? you asked me to get closer to him so you could get answers . marco : i have since learned in no uncertain terms that gabriel harbors as much frustration with victor as i do . ashley : well , at least that 's what he says , jack . marco : gabriel wants retribution for what victor did to his family . i know i can count on him . i want to know i can count on you . ashley : [ sighs ] i 'm astonished ! marco : what ? that everyone 's going along with it ? ashley : yes ! and also that you would even come up with this double - cross . i look at you , i do n't know who the hell you are . marco : i 'm your brother , ash . jackie . ashley : so wait . so wait a minute . you mean all this talk about putting the feud aside , i - i honestly believed that you had changed . marco : i have n't . is n't that reassuring ? ashley : i sincerely do n't know , but i do know that i 'm t going along with this plan , jack . marco : wait a minute . why not ? ashley : because it 's illegal ! marco : ash , you were the loudest voice against this merger . think of it as setting things right , putting things in order . ashley : so you 're finally admitting that you were wrong about that all along ? you 've been wrong about that merger ? marco : absolutely not . it was my best idea . merge with victor , set victor up , then walk away with the companies . that 's been my idea all along . victoria : maybe we should talk about johnny and katherine . billy : why ? so we can avoid talking about newman - abbott ? you think i do n't know what 's on your mind , vick ? victoria : i know you do n't . billy : maybe it 's your dad and my brother acting like they 're best friends . i know that does n't sit well with you . victoria : they 're acting like they 're a great team . billy : but you still have your doubts . victoria : i have hard time believing that they 've buried the hatchet , yes . billy : that 's because you know that one of them 's gon na screw the other one over eventually . victoria : and i think that jack will be the first to try something . billy : you think ? victoria : i do . but that 's what i think , billy . what i really want to know is what you 're thinking . sage : oh . thank you . i did n't know how nick 's announcement would go over . dylan : yeah , sharon has come a long way . and for what it 's worth , i 'll put in a good word with faith , too . sage : yeah , i 'll take all the good words you can offer . she 's very protective of her daddy . dylan : yeah , she is . do n't worry . there will be calmer waters ahead . sage : [ chuckles ] faith 's despised me from day one . she 's just a little girl . i do n't want to make her uncomfortable . i do n't want nick to be in the middle . dylan : yeah , you know , you 're forgetting that things are a little different now . sharon and i are together . sage : is faith okay with that ? dylan : what can i say ? she loves me . [ laughs ] sage : lucky you . lucky you . dylan : do n't worry . you 're off the hook . you 're not the one and only obstacle to faith 's parents getting back together . sage : said like a man who intends to be with sharon for a while . dylan : that i do . nick : sharon , the way you reacted to sage 's news and how kind you were to her , super cool . sharon : i meant every word of it . nick : well , how much of your new outlook has to do with dylan ? sharon : he 's been a very good influence . nick : has anything changed between you two ? sharon : yes . one thing . i 'm working here now with him . nick : [ chuckles ] sharon : [ laughs ] nick : wow . that 's got to feel a little weird . sharon : yeah , it 's a little , but i have n't been behind that counter in a long time . it 's exactly what i needed , it turns out . and dylan figured that out before i did . nick : well , i 'm proud of you , the way you 've turned your life around . you and dylan make quite a team . sharon : yeah , we do . billy : i understand how you could arrive at that conclusion . either jack or your dad is eventually going to turn on each other . victoria : i want to believe that jack 's merger is everything that he 's claiming that it is , but his history with my dad has always been ... billy : antagonistic ? victoria : and then some . how can that end just like that ? billy : i do n't know , vick . i mean , i was skeptical , too , but every time i confront jack about his `` hey , let 's all hold hands and get along `` attitude , he swears he 's a changed man , and his behavior backs that up . victoria : he 's been very convincing . w do you know he 's not gon na backslide ? billy : i could ask you the same thing about victor . victoria : and what would i say ? billy : i do n't know . `` wait and see `` ? victoria : yeah , that 's a good idea . wait until jack -- billy : or your dad . victoria : until either one of them launches a `` shock and awe `` attack and then we all have to duck and run for cover . billy : we can do better than that . victoria : really ? what do you have in mind ? billy : you keep an eye on victor , tell me you think he 's planning something , and i will do the same thing for you with jack . victoria : sure . we 'll keep an eye out for backsliding or a return to patterns of old behavior . billy : okay . ashy : i confronted you many , many times . i asked you time and again why you went ahead with this merger . marco : thank you for that , by the way . ashley : so all this effort that you put into getting my support , this sermon you gave about wanting a more peaceful existence ... marco : all window dressing . ashley : why do n't you call it what it really is ? you lied . you lied to me , you lied to our family the entire time . marco : i had to make it believable so that victor would lower his guard . now that he has , he is not going to see any of this coming . we will get our family company back , and we 'll get control of newman . ashley : wait , wait , wait . you make it sound like it 's a joint effort . marco : it is a joint effort . ashley : is it ? because as we 're setting ourselves up to possibly go to prison and siphoning money from our departments to go into your dummy account , what exactly are you gon na be doing ? marco : the most important job of all -- convincing victor i am still on his side . ashley : uh - huh . so if we get caught , your hands wo n't be dirty ? marco : wait a minute . you are family . i would never set you or kyle or billy up to take a fall for me . i would n't do that . ashley : how are you gon na protect us , jack ? marco : i will handle things in such a way that nothing can be traced to you or any of the others . but i have to be careful with victor . i have to remain a step removed . ashley : [ sighs ] i do n't know . framing victor , breaking the law , it just -- it 's wrong . marco : i 'm sorry you feel that way . i want you on board , but i 'm not gon na try to talk you into this . i do have one thing to ask of you , though . stay out of our way while the rest of the abbotts and i do what needs to be done . dylan : you put on a good face earlier . sharon : are you inferring that that was a fake face ? dylan : [ chuckles ] uh , just , you know , around the edges , i could tell you were a little upset when you heard nick and sage were moving in together . sharon : i was a little sad , but not for the reasons you think . dylan : well , i know you and nick have a lot of history together . sharon : dylan , i do n't want to be with nick . dylan : okay . then , uh , why were you sad ? sharon : i just ... you know what ? i 'm happy with the way things are . dylan : but you want more . sharon : i know that you 're not ready to take the next step . dylan : sharon , it 's okay . sharon : i do n't want to pressure you . dylan : no , you 're not pressuring me . it 's okay . i 've been thinking about things , too . sharon : about taking our next step ? dylan : about how you handled the situation with avery , how you trusted me , how you dealt with nick and sage today . you 're incredible . and you have a big heart . and , uh , you know what ? coming home to you last night ... it just felt right . sharon : for me , too . are you saying ... ? dylan : i do n't know what i 'm waiting for . sharon ... i would like to move in with you . sharon : [ chuckles ] dylan : today , if you 'll have me . sharon : i will . dylan : [ laughs ] you will ? okay , that 's good . sage : [ laughs ] nick : hey , dad . sage : hello . victor : hey . well , i guess you 're making sure that sage is getting put into her room safely . nick : well , there 's been a change of plans . sage is gon na be living with me at the tackhouse . victor : but you told me that you were capable of supporting yourself and your child . sage : i can . victor : uh - huh . you also told me -- sage : that nick and i were working out our relationship ? well , looks like we did . nick : sage told you the truth , dad . she did n't know how strongly i felt about this or her . so , uh , yeah , we talked about it . this is what we want . it 's what best certainly for the baby . victor : the baby must be given first consideration . sage : nothing is more important to me . nick : okay . well , uh , let 's go get your stuff . i want to move you into my place as soon as possible . victor : okay . kyle : this is n't easy for me . summer : yeah , i can tell . hey , whatever it is , it 'll be okay . kyle : will it ? summer : yeah . 'cause we 're gon na get through it together . kyle : things at work with the merger , they are n't what they appear . phyllis : ashley , you 're leaving already ? you feel all right ? ashley : um , i just think that maybe coming back to work so soon was a bit more challenging than i thought . marco : take care , sis . phyllis : yeah , you -- you call us if you need anything , okay ? ashley : yes , i will . thank you . marco : well , i did n't expect to see you still here . phyllis : yeah , yeah , i could n't leave . marco : could n't live life without me ? phyllis : could n't buy that bogus explanation you and victor tried to sell me earlier . marco : bogus ? phyllis : do n't play dumb . does n't suit you . what was going on earlier ? marco : victor and i -- phyllis : before you try to snow me , i want you to know i have already questioned victor . marco : and he said what ? phyllis : he continued to shovel the same load of crap you guys were piling on -- marco : if victor said he was concerned about ashley , it 's because he was ! phyllis : he was n't upset about ashley . and why are you getting so angry that i 'm asking you a simple question ? marco : i 'm not -- phyllis : i do n't expect victor newman to be straight with me , but i do expect my husband to be . now tell me what 's going on around here . marco : yes , i 'm angry , for good reason . you did n't like what victor and i were saying , so you go and grill him behind my back ? ! phyllis : something seemed off . i had questions . i asked them . marco : and you risk agitating my business partner . what ? you do n't want this merger to work ? phyllis : no , of course i want this merger to work . look , i have my doubts , but you have been very happy lately . absolutely nobody has stood by you , jack , more than i have . no questions asked . and i 'm asking questions now . i just need the truth from you . marco : i know . and i 'm sorry . ashley and i had a big disagreement about what 's going on , and i was in a foul mood . phyllis : what kind of disagreement ? marco : about her coming back too soon . here 's all you need to know . there is nothing to worry about . i 'm gon na go get this file that victoria was supposed to leave for me , and we will get out of here and talk about something more pleasant . [ cell phone vibrates ] ashley : of course i 'm not onboard with jack 's plan . how can you be ? billy : i do n't see what 's wrong with it . ashley : oh , come on . it 's embezzlement . he kept this `` master plan `` of his from us for months . he lied to us . and now with this latest curve ball , we could all end up in prison . wait , everybody but jack . billy : look , i 'm not thrilled with the way jack 's going about it , either , but you got to admit , the plan is genius . ashley : it 's criminal . billy : look , the way he 's going about it , none of us are gon na get caught . ashley : so that makes it okay ? billy : ash , if this gets victor out of our company and out of our lives , then yeah , i 'm okay with it . ashley : look , i know that your animosity towards victor runs very deep , but he is my daughter 's father , so ... billy : yeah , that did n't stop him from treating you like some common worker bee at his precious company , now , did it ? which i know you resent . ashley : he 's also victoria 's father . if she found out about this , she 'd never forgive you . billy : yeah , well ... victoria has an immense capacity for forgiveness , so ... ashley : you 're deluding yourself . billy : she has forgiven victor 's laundry list of reprehensible behavior , as well as most of my past sins . ashley : you 're talking about framing her father for a federal offense . billy : vicki knows how business works between our families . ashley : wow , you 've totally rationalized this , have n't you ? billy : okay . maybe i am taking a huge risk where it comes to victoria . but , ash , i have to . this is our one shot at getting jabot back , which is something i know you want . you want it as much as jack and me . and this is what dad would want , too . victoria : dad , something 's going on with you . victor : hmm . victoria : are you gon na tell me what it is ? victor : i just learned from your brother that he 's moving in with sage . victoria : oh . i did n't even know that was on the table . victor : [ chuckles ] the question is will he ever learn . my goodness . but let 's not discuss that . did you learn anything useful when you talked to your ex- husband ? victoria : no , not yet . but billy and i did come to an understanding . victor : oh , yeah ? victoria : yes . he says that he 's gon na let me know when jack is planning to make a move . victor : oh . what 's in it for him ? victoria : he wants me to keep an eye on you and let him know when you 're planning to make a move . victor : yeah , i bet . as if i would let the abbotts know when i 'm planning to make a move . when i do plan , let me tell you something . they 're the last ones to know . summer : i knew that it was all too good to be true . god , i mean , i wanted to believe that jack and grandpa could get along . i mean , i care so much about both of them . kyle : you care about my dad ? summer : yeah . of course . i mean , i - i love jack . i may be victor newman 's granddaughter , but i 'm always gon na have a soft spot for the abbotts . so i really hope that jack is n't planning to mess things up . kyle : god . this is really one of those times i wish your last name was n't newman and mine was n't abbott . summer : that 's never mattered for us before . come on . just tell me what 's going on with your family . kyle : okay , the truth is ... my dad feels like he needs to protect jabot 's interests . summer : yeah ? and ? that 's not news , kyle . kyle : well , you wanted to know what we were talking about in the hospital . summer : yeah , that 's not some big secret . kyle : i 'm sorry you 're disappointed . summer : i 'm disappointed because you 're not telling me everything . kyle : how do you know ? summer : because you were so worked up about it . jack is planning something , is n't he ? kyle : summer , i 've already told you everything i can . summer : kyle , you told me you were gon na be honest with me . kyle : okay , you want honesty ? summer : yes ! kyle : you should n't be asking me to break my dad 's confidence just to keep yours . summer : no , i 'm just asking for you to trust me . kyle : and i 'm telling you , summer , as the guy who loves you , that it would be better for both of us if you could just drop this . do you trust me enough to do that for me ? sage : hercules , you did n't have to carry it all at once . nick : well , two trips would imply that you have too much stuff , and then that could hurt your feelings . i do n't want that to happen . sage : i only have three suitcases . nick : three very heavy suitcases . but do n't worry . i 'm gon na find a place for each and every one of your things at our place . sage : our place . nick : yeah . sage : yeah . nick : you ready for this adventure ? sage : oh , i 'm so ready . [ laughs ] sharon : that 's it ? you have one bag ? that 's all your stuff ? dylan : that 's it . i do n't , uh , i do n't need much . besides , what 's most important is standing right in front of me . sharon : welcome home . ashley : our father would definitely not approve of this , not of jack 's merger to begin with and not of this unethical plot to throw victor out of both companies . bly : i agree . dad probably would n't have liked the way that jack is going about this . but he would have hated the idea of victor running his legacy , a legacy that 's been left to us to protect , ash . think about how much you have hated losing control of your work . now imagine getting jabot back and putting it back on top again . victor 's never gon na allow for that . it is always gon na be newman first and abbott second . you ca n't deny that . ashley : no , i ca n't deny that . billy : ash , ash . i understand why you 're uncomfortable with this . i do . but if this is gon na succeed , it 's going to take all of us . so are you with us ? ashley : okay . i 'm in . victor : you know i 'm proud of you for reaching out to billy boy to get information from him so that it would help our company . victoria : well , did you expect any less from me ? victor : yeah , but i sense that you 're not really on board with our plan . victoria : dad , i just do n't really like misleading billy . that 's all . victor : why not ? he 's doing the same thing to you . he 's pumping you for information about us . victoria : you know why . but it does n't matter . i 'll do whatever it takes to protect the interest of our family . that 's all . victor : good . i 'm glad . summer : grandpa , um , there 's something you need to know . marco : what are you doing with my phone ? phyllis : you got a text . it buzzed . `` confirmation . m was with him . both dead . `` marco : what ? phyllis : you got a phone call earlier , and i said it looked like you had lost your best friend , that someone was dead . why do n't you tell me the truth , jack ? who 's m ? [ next_on ] michael : i did n't force them to kiss , lily . joe : i guess even dylan figured it out . you 'd cheat on me , so you 'd probably cheat on him , too . marco : after all my planning , you blew it over a girl ? ! | nick and sage move in together . upon hearing the news , dylan decides to move in with sharon . victor is n't happy about sage moving into the tack house because he thinks she is after nick 's money . billy and victoria try to get information out of each other for their families and agree to let each other know if jack or victor are planning something that could put newman - abbott in jeopardy . victoria assures victor that she will look out for the interests of their family , even though she does n't agree with his plan . ashley does n't agree with jack 's plan to frame victor for embezzlement , but she reluctantly goes along with it after billy reminds her that their dad would want them to get jabot back in family hands . |
[ doorbell rings ] jack : billy ? you home ? we need to talk ! i see your car 's out front ! i know your motorcycle 's out of commission ! come on . i need to talk to you . i 'm sorry for coming by so late . i ... was concerned . or ... maybe i 'm interrupting . billy : [ sighs ] adam : ian , why do you look so shocked ? i 'm using your testimony to avoid a prison sentence , right ? why not use my help in your escape plans ? ian : well , at the risk of , uh , sounding cynical , dear boy , when have you ever helped me ? adam : well , it 's a matter of survival , right ? the way i look at it is neither one of us wants to grow old in prison . so once you testify that victor framed me , i 'll return the favor . i 'll help you disappear , unless , of course , you 've had a better offer . chelsea : relying on ian ward . how is that possibly a good idea ? we are putting my family 's future at risk . we are gambling with adam 's freedom , michael . michael : chelsea , we have been through all of this already . your husband 's prepared to take those odds . chelsea : well , maybe i 'm not . if ian gets on the stand and lies and christine catches him , this whole thing is over . michael : all right , christine is a sharp attorney , but as i keep reminding you , so am i . chelsea : can you guarantee me that this plan will work ? can you guarantee me that adam will get out from under these charges ? meredith : victor ? meredith . still here , i see . i thought you were headed home for the night . meredith : yeah , well , i was concerned about a certain patient . uh , i got some lab tests back that i went over . victor newman . meredith : look , i know that you had your reasons for sending him to solitary . very good reasons . meredith : but he has still not recovered from the stabbing incident , and there is an infection that i ca n't really seem to get rid of , so i 've changed his medication , but -- doctor . i appreciate your dedication , but the prisoner 's responding to treatment and much - needed discipline . in fact , the guards have n't heard a peep out of him all night . [ knock on door ] victor : tell the warden i need to see him ! he has the wrong man in solitary ! ian : [ laughs ] and they call me a fraud . adam : they do . ian : [ laughs ] you know , it 's always so hurtful , those names . swindler , con man , scam artist . adam : oh , you know , i mean , ian , if the shoe fits . ian : ah . but compared to you , i 'm a rank amateur . adam : oh , please , no . no , no , no . i 'm just a businessman sitting over here negotiating the terms of our deal . ian : oh , i know how you newmans do business . once i 'm on that stand and i point the finger at victor , you 'll have what you want , and you have no incentive to help me escape . adam : well , that 's always a possibility , i guess , but what other option do you have ? right ? either you trust me , you take your one shot at freedom , or you sit here and you rot . ian : mnh . adam : at which point all deals will be off the table , including that country club prison you 're so excited about . that 's gone . ian : oh . oh . you have me at a disadvantage . adam : mm - hmm . ian : but i still have an ace up my sleeve . adam : and what would that be , ian ? ian : without my testimony , you 're as good as convicted . oh , victor made damn sure of that . adam : well , i 'm damn sure that you can get a jury swayed in my favor , but i 'm also aware that you can get up on that stand and you can just all of a sudden forget certain details , right ? blow my case ? you would do that just for your personal amusement , would n't you ? ian : [ laughs ] i 'd be cutting off my own nose to spite by face . adam : well , you 're kind of a spiteful guy , though , are n't you ? ian : you wound me . adam : how do i know i can trust you to keep your word ? ian : well , how do i know i can trust you to keep yours ? adam : that 's the million - dollar question , is n't it ? ian : you have my word as a gentleman . adam : and you have mine . christine : we need to do this more often . late - night dinner . or , in fact , you know , we could just do late - night dessert . i like that idea . no shop talk , just the two of us . paul : yeah , me , too . christine : well , okay . it 's decided , then . i will resign as d.a . and open up a pie shop so we can have dessert together every single night . paul : oh , i 'm sorry . i 'm just distracted . christine : mm - hmm . anything i can help you with ? paul : no , i do n't think so . i was just checking my e - mails to see if i had any more information on alan james . i just ca n't seem to get that guy out of my mind . christine : hmm . the lab technician who committed suicide . paul : yeah . i mean , dylan and i were absolutely certain that victor had paid him off to alter the bingham toxicology reports . but when we traced the large influx of cash to his bank accounts , it led us to hilary . [ sighs ] i know i 'm supposed to remain objective in this job , but i would love to find proof that adam was set up . my gut keeps telling me that he did n't kill anyone , especially not an old woman who , well , quite frankly , was on her way out anyway . christine : and i would n't put anything past victor . i 'm just saying , if he framed adam , he did a damn good job , because i have a solid case . the best play that michael could do right now is just ask for a plea deal . paul : you know , even if you could convince michael to go along with it , i doubt he 'd be able to sell the idea to adam . i mean , he is hell - bent on clearing his name . christine : well , then maybe he should try and sell the deal to chelsea . michael : i would be lying if i said i can guarantee an acquittal . look , but i 'll tell you what i can promise . i promise you that i will defend adam to the best of my ability , and i will create reasonable doubt in the minds of those jurors . chelsea : what if it 's not enough , hmm ? what if ian double - crosses us and a jury decides that my husband is a murderer ? michael : then we 'll appeal . chelsea : adam could spend the rest of his life in a jail cell . he will be cut off from me , he will be cut off from his son , all because victor is framing him for a crime he did n't commit ! michael : or ian will come through for us and i will persuade the jury that adam is being framed by his vengeful father and all this will go away . chelsea , can you at least allow for the possibility of a favorable outcome ? can you do that for me ? chelsea : i do n't know what 's worse . putting all my hope in a lunatic like ian ward or watching victor destroy the man that i love . meredith : you know that i ca n't be held responsible for my patient 's health if he remains in solitary . i need to be able to treat him here in the infirmary . a change of medication , that 's just -- that 's nothing . it 's not enough . without the proper testing and monitoring , it -- duly noted , doctor , but you need to go home for the night . i 'll call if there 's any reason to reassess the prisoner 's confinement . meredith : okay . okay . meredith . walworth is like a small town . everyone who lives and works within these walls knows each other 's business . meredith : meaning ? i 've heard rumors about your interest in a particular inmate . it 's even been suggested that your brief leave of absence had something to do with that . meredith : [ chuckles ] come on . well , i really do n't know what you want me to say to that , mitch . nothing . i want you to listen . you 're an intelligent , savvy woman . i have no doubt you 've read all about victor newman . and not just his medical record . but for all his charm and his polish , he 's not to be trusted . he 's locked in here for a reason . please do n't forget that , meredith . good night . billy : i 'm kind of in the middle of something , jack . jack : i wo n't stay long . i just want to know that you are okay . wow . hit you harder than expected , did n't it ? billy : what are you talking about ? jack : i ran into bethany at the club . she told me you broke things off and , uh , that she did n't want to compete with someone who so obviously still had feelings for someone else . billy : yeah , what do you want me to say ? bethany 's not the right woman for me . jack : meaning what ? she 's not victoria ? billy : stop , jack . stop with -- you got to stop with the victoria stuff , okay ? what we had , we 're through . it 's over . and i 'm not looking for a temporary fix with bethany , so you can stop that , too . i want someone who gets me , jack , who wants me for who i am , that 's not trying to change me , not trying to fix me , somebody who loves me and accepts me with my flaws , not in spite of them . jack : okay , i understand . i do . you want what i have with phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] jack : when you 're with the right person , it 's like the whole world just falls into place . i wish everyone could experience that . i mean , it 's no secret phyllis and i have made our share of mistakes , but you know what ? it 's not easy . it takes commitment , it takes perseverance , but luckily phyllis and i both feel it 's worth it . billy : yeah , i hope i find that , too , one day . i 'm just not sure if i 'm worth it . jack : you 're worth it . you do deserve it , billy . you do . why would you say that ? billy : [ scoffs ] how much time you got ? jack : i know i am judgmental sometimes . i know i 've been your harshest critic lately , and that 's part of why i 'm here tonight . i want to -- i want to put that behind us . i want to get a fresh start , and that begins with you knowing i have your back , no matter what . so does phyllis . billy : [ sighs ] thank you , jack . i - i -- thank you . i appreciate it . i 'm fine now . really , i 'm -- i 'm good . jack : you sure ? billy : yeah . i 'm positive . jack : the right woman 's out there , billy . she 's probably closer than you think . you 'll find her . [ door opens ] billy : [ sighs ] [ door closes ] billy : i - i do n't -- phyllis : i - i ca n't stay . i ... [ voice breaking ] my shoe . where 's my other shoe ? [ sighs ] hey ! there 's no need to shout . you 'll wake the other prisoners . victor : i do n't give a damn if i wake up the dead . you 're being played by ian ward . do n't you realize that ? the last time you accused him of some nefarious plot , ward landed in the infirmary , you landed here in solitary with your privileges taken away . whatever it is , you need to let it go . victor : now , you listen to me . ian ward is aligning himself with the worst elements of my family . he will do everything he can to get the hell out of this hellhole while i rot in here . do you understand that ? ward is n't getting out of here for years . victor : he is working right now to get out of here much sooner than that . i promise you . do you have proof of this , or just more wild accusations ? victor : warden ... you know who i am . i 'm victor newman . and i 've done a hell of a lot of good in this world , and i will continue to do a lot of good in this world . you already have . with dr. gates . meredith : hi . paul : hi . dr. gates . meredith : hi , chief williams , mrs. williams . i , uh , i need to speak with you both . i have vital information that i think that you need to hear . paul : okay , i can see that you 're upset , but it 's also very late . why do n't you come to the department in the morning ? i 'll make time for you then , all right ? meredith : no , no , no . when you questioned me about the case against adam newman , you seemed to think that i knew more than i was telling . you were right . do you -- do you both want to hear what i have to say ? christine : we 're -- we 're listening , yeah . meredith : i know for a fact that adam killed constance bingham . christine : how ? meredith : his father told me he had proof . michael : finally . how did it go with ian ? chelsea : did you ask him point blank if he 's gon na stick to his story ? adam : uh ... michael : what are your instincts telling you ? i mean , does it seem as if he 's gon na pull a fast one ? what ? adam : guys , you know , ian was ... ian was ian . michael : what does that mean exactly ? chelsea : did he admit to having his own agenda or ... adam : well , no , i mean , i think he 's too clever for that , but , uh , suffice it to say , i think we came to an understanding , you know . he realizes testifying on my behalf is in his best interest . chelsea : okay , well , um , but it might not be in yours , you know ? i mean , i asked michael this question earlier , but i did n't like his answer , so i 'm gon na ask you . what if ian 's lying ? what if he never even got this confession from victor ? you know , what if he changes his story on the stand ? adam : well , i made it very clear to him that if he tries to tank me in court , we pull the plug and there goes his transfer to camp cupcake . i do n't think he 's gon na risk that . that guy 's getting his ass kicked every single day at walworth . he wants out of there . trust me . chelsea : so you really think he 'll keep up his end of the bargain ? adam : i think he 'd be a fool not to . michael : i guess that 's good enough for now . uh , why do n't the two of you try to get some sleep ? i will talk to you in the morning . chelsea : thank you . adam : thank you . that 's good advice , you know , he just gave about the sleep part . want to go upstairs , get some rest ? chelsea : uh , no , not until you tell me the truth . adam : honey -- chelsea : do n't . i know you , adam . something happened with ian and you 're not telling me . adam : you know what i think you should do ? i think you should take michael 's advice . stop worrying , okay , please ? chelsea : hold on , hold on . ian has the power to either vindicate you or have you convicted . and yet you 're acting like you have the upper hand . why is that ? adam : 'cause i feel like i do . chelsea : can you elaborate for me , or ... ? adam : listen , i understand that you 're skeptical of him . so am i , okay ? but when we go to trial and it 's his turn to take that witness stand , it 'll be up to me to determine whether he 's trustworthy or not . chelsea : so if you feel like he 's about to stab you in the back -- adam : if i feel like he 's about ready to stab me in the back , i give a signal to michael , right , and we do n't put him on the stand and he can traipse all the way back to his jail cell for all i care and say goodbye to all those special favors that he wanted . listen , babe , i 'm in control here , okay ? we have all the power , not him . i just had to go down there and remind him , that 's all . chelsea : [ sighs ] i 'm -- i 'm just still worried . adam : i know you are . i can tell you are . hey . do n't be . all right ? let michael worry . it 's what we pay him for . chelsea : [ chuckles ] adam : we 've got tonight , right ? got the rest of our lives . me and you . i 'm not really interested in wasting another moment , to be honest with you . hmm ? come here . see ? this better ? that smile . victor : has ian ward been spreading lies about dr. gates , as well ? i spoke to meredith tonight . she 's taken quite an interest in your welfare . victor : she 's concerned that i keep on taking my medication , all right ? i 'm very appreciative of her concern . i 'm sure you are . victor : what are you implying ? while the patient is getting better , the doctor is getting worse . do we understand each other , mr. newman ? victor : i would never do anything to harm that woman . what are you talking about ? dr. gates is a very compassionate physician . victor : yes . and she 's also a valuable asset to this facility . i wo n't let anyone take advantage of her . no more protests , no more promises . okay ? just do your time , stay out of trouble , let me worry about everything else , including ian ward and dr. gates . this prison has boundaries , mr. newman . if you cross them , your stay in solitary will be extended . christine : so you think you know the real victor newman ? meredith : yes . yeah , i do . paul : victor is a master at getting people to believe him . christine : it 's sort of like his superpower . meredith : is that a joke ? paul : no , it 's not a joke . in fact , i 'm gon na give you some very serious advice . do n't let victor fool you . meredith : okay , you 're not getting it . you 're not understanding . i am trying to keep someone from making fools of you . christine : how ? meredith : ian ward bragged to me that he was going to take the stand in adam 's defense . he was going to say that victor framed his own son . paul : ian ward is n't even on the list of potential witnesses . meredith : well , he will be . ian is a liar , and he will do anything to further his cause and make sure that victor never leaves prison . he 's already goaded him into a fight . that 's why victor is in solitary , and that is why i came forward tonight -- because my patient ca n't . christine : will you be willing to say all of this under oath ? jack : pam . jack abbott . uh , fine , thank you . listen , i 'm sorry for the short notice on this , but i want to plan a romantic weekend getaway with my wife . yeah . you know , the honeymoon we never had . here 's what i want . i want to set up the corporate jet , have it ready , champagne on ice , strawberries dipped in chocolate , and then book us an oceanside room in barbados . fill it with flowers . you think you can do that on short notice ? okay . keep me apprised of the developments , okay ? what ? no , no , no , no . phyllis is n't the lucky one . i am . and i want her to know i 'm never gon na forget that . thanks . billy : phyllis ... phyllis : i 've got to get going . jack 's gon na be wondering where i 'm at . billy : phyllis , just ... phyllis : what ? billy : stop , stop , stop . phyllis : what ? billy : you ca n't just run away , okay ? we tried that , and it did n't work . here we are . phyllis : we need to try a little harder . i ca n't keep sneaking behind his back and acting like i 'm a naughty child . billy : you were supposed to tell him , remember ? phyllis : i know i was supposed to tell him , but he never needs to know , ever . he deserves better than this , damn it . billy : well , so do we , do n't we ? i mean , do n't we ? so , what are we supposed to do ? we -- we just make a wish , blow out the candles , and hope that it -- that it all goes away ? phyllis : just stop . billy : we ca n't . i 've tried , you tried -- we ca n't do that . look , i do n't know the future . i do n't have a crystal ball , but all i know is that something is pulling us together . and if it 's just lust , well , it 's highly underrated . phyllis : billy ... billy : look ... this is more than chemistry , and i think we both know that . this is n't about jack . it 's not about sneaking around . i would give anything to just ... wake up and hold you in my arms , away from prying eyes . phyllis : [ sighs ] victor : as you can see , i 'm in a rather bad situation here . i hope you can help me set it right . now , if you do n't want to commit to that , i understand that . you should know what i 'm asking of you , okay ? i 'm here because some rather bad people ... want to see me ruined . and they testified against me ... with trumped - up charges . but the unkindest cut of all was that my family members , who i trusted the most ... went along with that testimony against me . i saw them convince the jury to convict me . arguably , the most painful thing that i have ever had to endure . but in spite of all that , i want justice . i want those who testified against me -- i want them punished . most of all ... that applies to a person that you hold in as much contempt as i . my son adam . meredith : i have been advised more than once that i should n't trust anything that victor says . but after treating his physical and emotional scars from the callous way that his family abandoned him ... i wo n't turn my back on him . ian ward is a liar . so in answer to your question , mrs. williams , yes , i will say that under oath . here is my card . and ... thank you for listening , and i hope to hear from you . christine : mm - hmm , thanks . paul : wow . so , either victor has her completely brainwashed or ... she 's telling the truth . christine : yeah . hey , listen , i do n't want to talk about ian or victor or anybody anymore . paul : oh , that 's right . christine : yeah , let 's go home , right ? paul : that can be arranged right now . as a matter of fact -- michael : i 'm glad i caught you . christine : oh , no . paul : oh , michael , not now . we 're off the clock . michael : you 're gon na want to hear this , i guarantee it . christine : déjà vu all over again . paul : then make it fast . or better yet , why do n't you come to my office in the morning ? michael : i am trying to spare you further embarrassment if adam stands trial . christine : embarrassment ? michael : i have a star witness , a prison insider , who will testify that victor set his own son up for murder . christine : ah , your star witness would n't happen to be ian ward would it ? michael : uh ... how did you know ? christine : word travels . listen to this -- i have my own prison insider , a much more credible witness . michael : mm . who we talking about ? paul : just missed her , actually . victor 's doctor ... meredith gates . shall we ? [ cell phone rings ] chelsea : oh , i think that 's you . adam : ai ... i 'll just let it go to voicemail . chelsea : oh , it -- it says it 's michael . could be important . adam : all right . hey , i thought we were done for the night . michael : i 'm sorry , but this wo n't wait . we have a problem , and it 's a big one . phyllis : it 's late . i have to go . billy : phyllis , we can stay together . phyllis : how ? billy : i do n't know how . phyllis : we ca n't even explain this to jack . billy : but we can just make it work . we can find time . you can come here whenever you want . we can get out of town when we can both make it . i do n't want to sneak around , but if that 's the only way , then ... look ... i know how hard this is on you . i know what i 'm asking . it 's hard enough for me to lie to jack , but you guys share everything . i know that . you share your bed , you share your life . sneaking around like this has got to be 10 times harder on you , i understand . phyllis : try a thousand . billy : i ca n't . i ca n't make the choice . it 's up to you . we either end this tonight , or we keep going the only way that we can . but it 's up to you . phyllis ... whatever you decide ... my feelings for you are not gon na change . victor : i 'm sure you 've heard that i 'm a patron of the arts . but you know this -- one artist who i really , really respect and appreciate , he is able to reproduce other people 's writings perfectly . now , some call this forgery . i call it genius . i will give you the information you need to contact this `` michelangelo . `` i want him to revise the pages of a woman 's diary . and i will pay him handsomely for that . chelsea : honey . mind if we join you ? meredith : yes . chelsea : well , that 's too bad . meredith : how did you track me down ? adam : well , after my attorney called , we figured your conscience must have got the best of you . probably too agitated to go home and you 're too cautious to go back to work , back to the prison , right ? chelsea : call it a lucky guess . meredith : well , listen , unlike you , i do n't have anything to feel guilty for . chelsea : oh , so what michael baldwin said was true . you are really going to testify for the prosecution . meredith : well , it 's my right to do so , and it 's my responsibility . i ca n't let ian lie under oath when i know the truth . adam : the truth ? the truth according to whom ? my father ? chelsea : i know you 're desperate to see the good and all in victor , but this man is plotting revenge against his own children . you realize that , right ? meredith : see , this is where you 're all wrong . victor , he loves his family , especially you . he loves you . he 's not -- he 's not framing you . he 's covering for you . adam : this is what he told you , right ? and -- and you believe him . chelsea : oh , my god , meredith , wake up . victor is playing you . you are being played . you realize that , right ? meredith : well , that 's really ironic , coming from you . because everything that i have seen and heard leads me to believe that adam is every bit his father 's son . so if anyone 's naive , i 'd say it was you . adam : okay , hold on a second . meredith . come on . that went well . what , babe ? chelsea : is meredith right ? am i being naive ? jack : oh , that 's just great . thanks , pam . i owe you . bye . phyllis : hey . jack : hey . phyllis : i got your message . what 's up ? jack : it 's billy . phyllis : what about him ? jack : i stopped by his place after hearing that he and bethany had split . phyllis : yeah , would n't lose too much sleep about that . i 'm pretty sure he 's not that serious about her . jack : well , that 's what i always assumed , too , that she was somehow a means to get through the pain of losing the real love of his life . phyllis : the real love ? jack : victoria . anyway , the more i listened to him , the more i realized i was wrong . he 's not looking backward . he 's looking to find something that everyone wishes they could find . the kind of love and trust that you and i have . hey , i -- i do n't want this to upset you . he 's going to find the woman of his dreams the same way i did . and if you ever forget that i treasure what you and i have , well , maybe you 'll remember this weekend . phyllis : what are you talking about ? what 's going on this weekend ? jack : i just hung up with pam in corporate travel . it 's all set . phyllis : what 's all set ? jack : i am taking you away to a weekend getaway in barbados . come on . we 've both been working so hard . it 's a chance to have a romantic time together . you do n't have to do anything . you do n't have to pack a bag . just take my hand -- phyllis : jack , no . no , i -- i ca n't . adam : i do n't know how the hell you 're gon na ask me that . chelsea : well , you have n't given me an answer . adam : i have an answer for you -- no , you 're not being naive . how could you be naive , babe , if you 've been a step ahead of all of us this entire time ? do n't let that woman , meredith , get to you . chelsea : meredith is not stupid . adam : we do n't know that . we do n't know her very well . and by the way , you can be book smart and have absolutely no street sense at all , okay ? i 've seen it before , and i suspect that 's what that woman has . she got hoodwinked by victor in two seconds . chelsea : she 's not the person putting doubts in my mind , adam . you are . adam : because you 're so convinced that i 'm hiding something . chelsea : uh , would n't be the first time . adam : well , that 's fair . you know , i deserve that . but i 'm not lying to you this time , okay ? chelsea : then you 're omitting something . something critical . it 's obvious . and the way that you 're acting , the way that you sound ... even the way you 're looking at me , it reminds me of all those times that you were obsessed with one - upping your father . adam : that 's not what this is . chelsea : then what is this ? adam : look , back then , it was all about newman enterprises . it was all about getting control over my father . chelsea : yeah . adam : well , that 's the furthest thing on my mind right now . i 'm defending my life . i 'm fighting for my family , and if i have to get down and play by victor 's rules in order to do so to beat him at his own game , then i 'm not gon na apologize for it , and i certainly do n't think i should have to explain that to anybody . chelsea : so there is something . what is it ? adam : baby , i love you , okay ? i do . you 're my wife , and i respect that . but you 're gon na have to trust me on this one . chelsea : i want to trust you . you have to stop leaving me in the dark . adam : there are certain times when things are better left unsaid , okay ? i 'm trying to protect you . please . chelsea : adam newman , i -- adam : i 'm gon na call michael , and i 'm gon na clue him in , okay ? victor : once the authorities suspect foul play , they 're gon na have to exhume the old lady 's body . and i want it to look as if she has been poisoned . so , i have ... the contact information written down ... along with a number of a bank account -- an overseas bank account -- from which you can withdraw funds as you need . i hope that you will help me bring my son adam to justice . i know that you 're the right person to do the job . jack : hey , hey , i did n't mean to upset you . no , exactly the opposite . i - i thought maybe a spur - of - the - moment trip to barbados , i thought it 's -- i thought you 'd love it . phyllis : i love that you thought of it . i love that . i just -- i -- i 'm booked . jack : this weekend ? phyllis : i have a business trip . jack : what trip ? i did n't see anything on the calendar . phyllis : the group that i talk to about from amsterdam , they 're gon na be in montreal at some big north american i.t . conference , and they want me to fly up and go over passkey with them . so i 'm gon na answer some of the questions about the technology . jack : what about natalie ? ca n't she handle this ? phyllis : no , she 's working on passkey , so i do n't dare take her off of that . you know , i can reschedule . i can do that . i can call them up , if that 's what you want . jack : no , no , no , no . you know what ? these clients are important , and this is important to you . we can go another time . barbados will always be there . phyllis : you sure ? jack : while you 're gone , i can put all of my focus on the foundation . but right now , i got to cancel these plans , tell this pilot to stand down . excuse me . [ cell phone rings ] billy : you okay ? phyllis : yeah . i just wanted to tell you that i 'm gon na be going out of town for a few days . billy : with jack ? phyllis : no . he 's gon na be busy at the foundation . billy : so where will you be ? phyllis : i was planning to be with you . spend the weekend together . unless you have other plans . [ next_on ] dylan : i am following up on a lead that could prove adam was framed . luca : what the hell are you doing with that guy ? i think he tried to bring down our company . victoria : `` our `` company ? who the hell do you think you are ? mariah : there 's been an accident ! it 's awful . you have to call 911 right now . sharon : okay , okay ! | victor 's plan is revealed when he remembers talking to a person in prison who only shows her / his hands . victor asks for help since s / he also wants revenge on adam . victor her / him the name of someone who can forge sage 's diary . victor also says that the forged diary will lead to the exhumation of constance 's body and the false autopsy report . the person agrees to help victor since s / he will get paid very well . victor 's plan is working perfectly because dr. gates agrees to testify for the prosecution that victor told her he has proof that adam killed constance bingham . jack almost catches billy and phyllis making love when he goes to the chancellor mansion to talk to billy . phyllis listens in on billy and jack 's conversation , and both she and billy feel guilty after jack leaves the mansion . billy tells phyllis that he loves her and he can live with just being her lover if that is what she wants , or she can tell jack the truth . billy tells phyllis that he will love her no matter what she decides to do about their relationship . phyllis turns down a romantic weekend getaway with jack because she has an important business trip . phyllis calls billy and tells him she wants to spend the weekend with him . |

'cause we could really use someone , like , now . chelsea : take a break , noah . i 'm in the mood to shake up some magic . nick : what is you 're gon na be making ? chelsea : something strong enough to make you ease up on your son , and everybody else in this place . juliet : leslie said i should n't speak to you or anyone connected to the case . you should not be here , cane . cane : okay . all right . michael said the same thing to me , but they 're lawyers , and we 're friends , so i do n't understand . why are you doing this to me when you know i did n't sexually harass you ? did hilary put you up to this ? is that what happened ? juliet : this lawsuit was my decision . i was the one who was fired unjustly . cane : she 's a user and she exploits people . she 's not your friend . i was your friend . lily was your friend . and if you do this , you are going to destroy our family . do you understand that ? victoria : i 'm sorry . i do n't want to add any extra stress to your life . lily : `` things could get ugly and fast . `` that 's exactly what you said . victoria : lily -- lily : how is that not gon na add extra stress ? the accusation of sexual harassment is traumatic enough , but if this goes to trial , this could ruin every aspect of our lives . i 'm sorry . i 'm not trying to snap at you . i just -- victoria : it 's okay . i understand . lily : what exactly did the judge say ? victoria : well , he feels like there 's enough evidence to move this case forward . i 'm surprised that cane did n't tell you . lily : no , he -- he must be freaked out by this . victoria : yeah , well , we 're all a little freaked out . but we 're handling it the best that we can . lily : will cane have to testify ? victoria : this entire case hinges on his word against juliet 's . he needs to call her out for the liar that she is . lily : so you 're -- you 're still supporting cane ? victoria : yes , of course i am . why would you ask that ? lily : i do n't know , i just -- i wanted to make sure that you were still on his side , that you had his back . victoria : juliet is clearly looking for revenge or an easy payday . lily : yeah . victoria : now , lily , i have to ask -- are you having doubts ? phyllis : ignore nick . billy : oh , i learned to do that a long time ago . phyllis : mm . you know what , make your move now . get our drinks , and then we 'll get on with our night . billy : done . phyllis : okay . hey . nick : no . i do n't want to get into this with you . phyllis : i want you to listen to me . i want you to lay off billy . victoria is a big girl . she does n't need you to fight her battles . and what was all that `` billy put victoria through hell `` stuff ? you think i had a fun time waiting for you to decide whether you were gon na choose me or sharon ? nick : [ scoffs ] phyllis : nick , you 're not a saint . is anyone warning chelsea away from you ? no . nick : what , have you been holding onto that for a while ? phyllis : yeah , well , maybe i have , and now that billy 's living with me ... nick : what -- phyllis : yeah . you heard me right . he 's living with me , and i would appreciate it that you do n't get in his face every time you 're in the room together . okay . i 'll take your silence as a yes . nick : for you , i will try , but do n't expect a housewarming present . chelsea : on the house . billy : oh , be careful , the boss might hear you say that . chelsea : ca n't blame nick for caring about his sister . plus , he 's got a lot on his mind these days . billy : chloe . look , chelsea , i 'm sorry about everything that you 've gone through . in spite of it all , i know that you two were close . it 's heartbreaking , what happened to her . it must have been hell for you and nick to find her the way that you did . chelsea : i loved her . she was like a sister to me . but that kind of betrayal ... billy : she was n't well , chelsea . she never recovered from delia 's death . chelsea : i know . and as much as i wanted justice for adam , i would never want bella to grow up without her mom . or kevin to not have the love of his life . billy : yeah , i did n't go to the funeral out of respect for kevin . chelsea : that was a really smart move because i did , and i dragged nick there , and it was a complete disaster . kevin was livid . you know he left town , right ? i guess he just needed to get away from all of it . billy : take some time to process . chelsea : how are you processing it all ? billy : i picture katherine , i picture chloe , and i picture dee dee having a little tea party up there in heaven . chelsea : you 're a good dad . billy : [ clears throat ] well , i try , you know ? i try to see the kids as much as i possibly can . victoria does n't like them staying the night now that phyllis and i are moved in together . yep . so you want to call nick over here to rip into me some more ? chelsea : no , i 'm just a little bit surprised . i mean , did n't you guys just get back together ? billy : look , if i learned one thing in the last little while here , is that life is too short . i 'm not gon na sit around and wait to be happy . so , what about you ? how come you and saint nick are n't shackin ' up ? chelsea : i do n't know , i mean , we have , you know , christian and connor and faith to think about . we 're just trying to take things slow . billy : well , be careful . sometimes you can take things so slow , you end up moving backwards . devon : these guys have a great sound , a lot of social media . are they , uh -- are they self - produced and unsigned ? noah : yeah . yeah , and imagine this group with the force of your company behind them . devon : oh , absolutely . mergeron has the streaming service , and i , uh -- i have the producers i could definitely put with them . they might be a great fit . i say `` might `` because i wo n't make any guarantees , but i 'll definitely have someone come out and check them out . noah : cool . thank you , devon . devon : for sure . for sure . noah : hey ! tessa ! tessa : hi ! hi . hi , devon . devon : hey . how you doing ? tessa : um , i 'm sorry to interrupt , but , noah , can we ... devon : no , i 'll actually casually just excuse myself . tessa : uh ... noah : what 's up ? tessa : i , uh , wanted to clarify something . that guy from chicago , the one i told you about ? i ran into him again . noah : is he following you ? tessa : no , he 's in town for some new business deal , not because of me . noah : so you 're not packing up to leave town ? tessa : yeah , i guess i freaked out for nothing . and , uh , i know you told your mom , but seriously , it 's no big deal . so , yeah , i 'm sticking around . lily : i refuse to believe that any part of juliet 's charges are true . victoria : if you have any concerns ... lily : no , i 'm concerned for cane 's reputation . we went through this before with hilary already , and it just makes me furious to deal with these lies all over again . victoria : it helps that you 'll vouch for cane 's character . lily : of course i will . i know him better than anyone . he would never use his position for sex . he would n't do that to me , the company , or any woman , and anyone who says otherwise is a liar . victoria : do you know when he 'll be back ? lily : no , he 's not answering any of his texts . i just wish he were here , so i could tell him that we can get through this . victoria : look , i have to go . but when cane does get back , i want you to tell him that we 're all behind him , and that he and i need to talk as soon as possible . cane : i ca n't lose my family over this . juliet : i 'm not trying to hurt you or your family . my issue is with brash & sassy ! cane : then why is it my name that 's on the complaint ? this is gon na destroy my credibility , my reputation , who i am as a man , as a father , and a husband . you know me . i 've wanted to help you . i was your biggest champion . you know this . juliet : but when things went south , i was the one who took the fall . cane : things in l.a. did n't work out as planned . we know this . we all do . and billy is the one who should have been fired , and when i thought he was , i went to victoria and i said she made the right decision . juliet : but she did n't . her ex with a gambling problem makes a joke about betting , and i 'm the one who gets fired instead ? how is that fair ? i busted my butt 24/7 , and i get blamed for someone else 's mistake . cane : i know it was n't fair . you traveled halfway across the world for a job that 's now gone , but this is not the answer , 'cause if you go ahead with this , irrespective of the verdict , we will both lose . juliet : i know what you want me to believe , but i am not afraid to testify . i 'll tell the truth about what happened between us . will you ? zack : so far , so good ? abby : yeah . not bad at all . we have the best table in the house . i 've been here a gazillion times , and the maître d ' is being extra nice . now , are these perks standard on the app , or did you pull some strings ? zack : i 'm still exploring the concierge aspects of the programming , but that 's what beta testing is for , right ? abby : okay , that 's not really an answer , but ... either way , i 'm impressed . zack : good . [ exhales sharply ] it 's tricky dating someone i work for . i have to be at the top of my game . abby : yeah , but this `` date , `` i mean , it really is just a test . of the platform , i mean . zack : technically speaking . but are n't all first dates `` test `` dates ?

[ chuckles ] mariah : what , protective ? devon : no . romantic .

'cause in war , there 's casualties on both side . i know you 're hurt . i know you 're angry . and for good reason . but you have to think about what is gon na come next and if it 's worth risking your future and mine . juliet : leslie ? we need to meet . things have changed . cane : [ exhales sharply ] lily : cane ! finally ! victoria was here . she has more questions . why did n't you tell me the judge ruled in juliet 's favor ? cane : it 's okay . it 's -- lily : no , it 's not okay ! how are you so calm right now ? cane : juliet 's dropping the suit , and the case is over . it 's not gon na go to trial . lily : what ? how -- how do you know ? cane : 'cause i just went and saw her , and she told me . lily : what ? victoria said do n't be alone with that woman . why would you do that ? cane : i know this , but i knew if i could just go and talk to her without the pressure of other people being around , i could tell her she 's making a mistake , and i was right . it worked . leslie : why ? what happened in the last few hours that could have possibly changed your mind ? juliet : it 's too much . i ca n't do it . fighting the newman family ? i 'd never win . leslie : the newmans have gone down in court more than once . they 're not invincible , juliet . juliet : they have money and power . they 'll drag my name through the mud , get me blackballed over the world . leslie : okay , where -- where is all this coming from ? did victoria threaten you ? because so help me -- juliet : no , no , no , no . there were no threats . cane just really wanted me to think about what the fallout could be . leslie : wait . cane came here ? to see you . alone ? that man just made the second - biggest mistake of his life . mariah : so , how much vodka does a music deal require ? i think a substantial amount , considering that tessa is about to be a huge star . noah : she 's talented , no doubt about that . mariah : okay . then why do you seem so `` meh `` about it all of a sudden ? i thought you wanted her to accept devon 's deal . noah : and i 'm excited for her , i am , but personally , between us , there is just some things i ca n't quite shake off . mariah : because you 've been burned before . i get it . tessa 's the first girl that you 've bothered with since marisa and her boatload of secrets ... noah : and before that , it was adriana with her duffel bag of secrets -- her stolen drug money . mariah : that sounds like quite a story . noah : or quite a pattern . pretty girl . kind of mysterious . i fall too fast . mariah : noah , tessa is different . noah : is she ? i do n't know anything about her -- where she 's from , where she worked , who she dated , and then the guy comes into town who she claims was never her boyfriend , and now she 's ready to leave town to avoid him . and now she 's staying -- i 'm glad . i just have these questions , you know ? mariah : okay . but here 's the thing . you grew up with that . a loving family . healthy , normal parents . noah : i 'm a newman , okay ? there 's always , drama . you know that . my parents have been married , divorced , remarried again -- that 's not healthy , let alone normal . mariah : but you had a mother and father who loved you more than anything , and i 'm guessing tessa did n't . noah : she left home young . she told me that much . she does n't keep in contact with her family , but that 's all the information i have . why ? what happened between them ? mariah : well , look , i do n't go blabbing to everybody about my troubled childhood , either . noah : oh , so , devon does n't know about that cult , or that creepy guy ? mariah : that 's different . everybody in town knows about that . it 's not a big secret . noah : exactly ! mariah : noah , please give her time . she cares about you a lot , and she will tell you her story when she 's ready . cut her some slack . she 's worth it . abby : thanks . well , the complimentary dessert was a nice touch . zack : it was , was n't it ? abby : but i still do n't know . is that a standard date , or did you boost the experience ? zack : i might have pulled out a few extra stops to make the night truly memorable , but that does n't mean they could n't become part of the platform . i have to see what works and what does n't . i mean , they call it beta testing for a reason . abby : either way , i 'd have to say it was a success . well done . zack : the app ? or me ? i mean , business - wise , you clearly think we 're headed in the right direction . but as an actual subscriber of the service , how would you say i rate ? as a date . abby : oh , wow . you want me to rate you ? hmm . zack : i mean , user feedback is key to improvement in the beta phase . abby : okay . well , you 're user - friendly , accessible , well - designed ... 4 . no , i 'm sorry . wait . 4.5 stars . zack : [ chuckles ] why did you take a half - star off ? abby : well , there 's always room for improvement . zack : mm . abby : [ chuckles ] scott : that was a perfect soufflé . extraordinaire ! you know , i would have taken a picture of it , but , uh , i devoured it before i thought of that . sharon : well , most of the time , my cheese recipes involve boiled macaroni . scott : there 's nothing wrong with a solid mac - and - cheese . sharon : mm - hmm . scott : maybe i 'll get to try yours sometime . sharon : maybe you will . oh ! oh , no . do n't get up . here . you worked all day . scott : well , then , you should sit because so did you . are you sure about this ? come here . [ silverware and dishes clank ] mariah : what 's wrong ? who called ? devon : neil . um , he called to give me a heads up that cane has been accused of sexual harassment . mariah : the brash & sassy ! lawsuit . devon : how do you know about it ? it has n't hit the news . mariah : no , not yet , but hilary found out and she wants me to do a story on it . devon : are you kidding me ? mariah : she does n't want her fingerprints all over it , but the thing is , we could n't even vet anything because it 's so under wraps . devon : damn , that woman wants to do nothing , i swear , but make trouble for people , 'cause neil just told me that she even went as far as recommending an attorney for juliet . the music 's about to start . mariah : hey , hey . devon : yeah ? mariah : we have all night . we can talk about this as much as you want . devon : i appreciate it .

chelsea : yeah , we can start by getting some background information on you . jenna : actually , um , i 'm not sure i 'm a good candidate for this . i just moved to australia a couple months ago . billy : well , yeah , i think we 'd love to hear your story . i mean , there 's been a number of long - timers , but someone who just recently made the decision -- i 'd be interested in why you chose to come here . chelsea : yeah . jenna : you know , i 'm not really comfortable being on camera . billy : we do n't have to show your face . we do n't even have to use your name . chelsea : you can be completely anonymous . no one will ever even know you spoke to us . stitch : paul needs a liver transplant , and we 're not having much luck finding a donor . nikki : oh , dear god . dylan : paul has siblings , though , right ? that should help . stitch : ca n't reach his brother and his sister is non compos , so she ca n't give consent . nikki : you could test me . test victor . i 'm gon na call nicholas . i 'm gon na call everybody i can think of . avery : i 'm sure everybody at the gcpd is gon na want to be tested . nikki : yes ! stitch : that 'd be good , but paul 's blood type is what 's giving us the trouble . it 's very rare -- ab negative . nikki : oh . dylan : stitch , um ... i 'm ab negative . nikki : what ? avery : you are ? stitch : you could be a donor . nikki : my god ! dylan , you could save paul 's life . dylan : well , what are we waiting for ? let 's go . avery : whoa . are you sure you 're ab negative ? dylan : i had it on everything when i was deployed . it was on my dog tags . nikki : it 's unbelievable . we have had a compatible donor right here the whole time . dylan : stitch , what do we need to do ? draw my blood ? run some tests ? what ? nikki : i ca n't wait to tell christine . stitch : okay , everybody slow down a minute . you may be a match , but that does n't mean you 're a suitable donor . there 's still a whole process we have to go through to make sure this can happen . dylan : is there time for that ? avery : the hospital will insist we take the time . stitch : she 's right . avery : for your sake and for paul 's . stitch : she 's right . dylan : let 's get started . victoria : ben , if dylan is able to undergo surgery ... stitch : he 's paul 's best chance to pull through . come on . leslie : how 's paul ? avery : he 's in critical condition . he needs a liver transplant . leslie : have they found a donor ? avery : possibly . nikki : yes . avery : dylan might be able to donate a part of his liver . they 're running some tests now . leslie : well , i hope it works out . nikki : oh , well , it will . victoria : mom . why do n't we sit down ? i 'll get you some water . come on . leslie : some day , huh ? avery : yeah . leslie : i mean , i ca n't believe your cameraman was that unhinged . you 'd think the producer would have done some type of background check on the guy . avery : marcus had no way of knowing austin and i had a connection . leslie : you knew austin before he came to work for the show ? avery : he knew me . his mother was shot and killed in a convenience store robbery by a man named boz foreman , who , years before , had been accused of a similar crime . i got boz acquitted the first time around . leslie : oh . and he blames you for his mother 's death . avery : he wanted me to confess my guilt and confess on camera , and then dylan and paul showed up , and now we 're all here . leslie : well , i 'm just glad you 're okay . avery : yeah , i 'm okay , but paul is in there fighting for his life , and summer -- i have no idea where she is . summer : that was ... austin : not how you imagined your first time ? summer : it was exactly how i imagined it . austin : in a crummy motel on the run from the police ? yeah , that 's most girls ' fantasy . summer : no , it was n't the place or the circumstance that made it special . austin : you 're pretty amazing , too . summer : i just want to be like this with you forever . austin : about that . summer : i 'm going to canada with you . austin : you have a family and a life in genoa city . summer : i do n't have anything without you . austin : you 're just not thinking clearly . summer : yes , i am . i 've lost a lot , and i do n't want to lose you . jack : yes , i know this is the third message i 've left . tell detective harding it 's urgent . you know what ? never mind . i 'll tell him myself . i ca n't get harding on the phone . i 'm gon na go to the police station right now to tell him we both think that summer and austin are headed to canada . nick : that 's a good call . dad 's got a whole team of investigators looking for them . jack : keep me apprised , all right ? nick : you do the same . sharon : jack . jack : hi . sharon : is there a lead on summer ? nick : well , we think we know where they 're headed , so jack went to the police station to let them know . sharon : how are you holding up ? nick : i 'm doing about as well as any father could whose daughter just took off with a criminal . sharon : nick . nick : if anything happens to her ... you try to raise your kids to make good decisions . you convince yourself that they will , but ... sharon : nick , this is n't like what happened with cassie . summer 's ... an adult . nick : i know . she 's all grown up now . but to me she 's always gon na be that little girl who needs me to look under her bed and chase away the bad guys . and now she 's out there with a real bad guy . sharon : but she texted you , so she said she 's okay . nick : yeah , well , i 'm not gon na believe that until i get to see it with my own eyes . sharon : i hope summer knows how lucky she is to have a dad like you . nick : but i 'm not her dad . jack is . and the ironic thing is i 'm the biggest bad guy of all . sharon : that 's not true . nick : it is true . if i had n't lied about that paternity test , summer 's life would n't have been turned upside down last year . sharon : you never meant to hurt her . nick : i did hurt her . i hurt her bad , and i need to face that . it caused summer 's life to spiral out of control . i 'm the reason things turned out the way they have . sharon : no . you 're not . ian : mariah . i did n't know you were back in town . mariah : hey . yeah . hi . did you hear about my little side trip to portland ? ian : yes . yes , but i did n't realize you were back in genoa city . mariah : well , sharon insisted , after she paid a boat load for my legal problems to disappear . ian : very generous of her . surprising even . considering how the two of you met . mariah : [ chuckles ] yeah , i do n't get it , either , but i 'm not asking any questions . ian : [ chuckles ] very wise . and , um ... steering clear of me might be a good idea , too . mariah : why ? it 's not like you could ruin my reputation . ian : i just do n't want anybody to get the wrong idea . especially that new guardian angel of yours . mariah : [ chuckles ] sharon kind of has taken me under her wing . ian : uh - huh . mariah : she bailed me out of jail , she flew me back here . and she even got nick to give me a job . ian : wow . you might be able to get a lot more out of her than that . mariah : [ chuckles ] avery : here i was giving you a hard time for representing ian when i helped free a killer . leslie : you are not responsible for him killing austin 's mother . avery : i thought i did the right thing . i thought boz foreman was innocent . the evidence was n't there . leslie : stop . avery , stop . you can not think like that . you did the right thing . you 're a good lawyer . you did your job . you ca n't be held accountable for other people 's actions , okay ? and do n't let boz foreman make you think otherwise . okay , i have to get to this deposition . you okay ? avery : mm - hmm . leslie : call me . avery : okay . leslie : okay ? avery : yep . leslie : if you need anything . avery : i will . leslie : okay . victoria : why do n't you let me take you home ? i 'll ask avery to call us if there 's any change in paul 's condition . nikki : no , honey . i want to wait and hear what the doctors say about dylan being a donor . victoria : i ca n't imagine that they wo n't let him . he and paul have the same blood type . nikki : yeah , but you heard what ben said . apparently there 's more to it . victoria : you know what you always tell me . picture the outcome that you want . see it in your mind . now tell me ... what do you see ? nikki : dylan saves paul 's life . and we all live happily ever after . [ chuckles ] victoria : okay , you just keep thinking that that 's gon na happen and it will . nikki : i know that it will . stitch : okay , lab will be ready for you in a few minutes . after they draw your blood , you 'll undergo physical and psychological exams . dylan : psychological ? stitch : there 's a lot that goes into being an organ donor , man . dylan : okay , if i pass all the tests , how soon can you do the surgery ? stitch : you seem awfully eager to go under the knife . dylan : you said yourself the clock 's ticking for paul . stitch : you sure that 's the only reason you 're so pumped to do this ? dylan : why else ? stitch : come on , mac . this is me . what has gotten you so hot that you 're willing to give a piece of your liver for a guy you barely know ? dylan : i 'm trying to save his life . stitch : like you could n't save sully 's ? dylan : this has nothing to do with sully . stitch : okay , you 're telling me you 're not feeling the same kind of guilt about paul that you felt when sully got shot ? dylan : i thought the shrink was gon na analyze me . stitch : mac , what happened to sully was n't your fault . dylan : how would you know ? you were n't there . stitch : you 're right . i was n't . but i know you . and i know you would have done anything in your power you could have to save sully . dylan : but i did n't . and now i have a chance to save paul . and i 'm gon na do it . harding : mr. abbott , i was just calling you . jack : with news about my daughter , i hope . harding : we found her car in a bus station downtown . jack : any sign of summer or austin ? harding : no one remembers seeing them , but we 're pulling security footage right now . we 're trying to figure out which way they 're headed . jack : okay , nick and i both think they 're headed to canada . harding : why ? jack : call it a parental hunch . you need to contact the border patrol , alert the state police , tell them to check every transfer station from here to lake superior . harding : i know how to do my job . jack : do you also know my family owns a cabin ? have any of your people checked there ? if you do n't have enough personnel , let me know . harding : slow down . okay ? jack : slow down ? my daughter is on her way out of the country with a fugitive , and you and the other authorities in wisconsin do n't seem to have done much about that ! harding : we have an apb out on travers and your daughter . we checked your cabin hours ago . there was no sign of them . the border patrol has been alerted , and every local p.d . from here to canada is on the lookout for them . jack : apparently that 's not enough . harding : you listen to me . i want travers as bad as you do . he shot my chief with me 10 feet away . i am doing everything in my power . and i 'm gon na get him . austin : okay , if you 're serious about coming with me , we got to get going . summer : okay , just give me five minutes to get showered and dressed . austin : five ? summer : okay , maybe 10 ? [ laughs ] well , at least we do n't have to pack . austin : okay , the sooner we get on the road , the better . summer : okay , yeah , no , i promise i 'll be quick . austin : okay . [ door closes ] the search continues for the man who allegedly shot genoa city police chief paul williams , who 's in critical condition and reportedly fighting for his life . the suspect , austin travers , may be with summer newman , daughter of cosmetics mogul jack abbott . both are -- nick : here . you can make all the excuses you want . but i let summer think she was my daughter , even though i knew all along there was a good chance that jack was her father . i cheated both of them by not running that second test . when the truth came out , summer 's life -- she completely lost her sense of self . she did n't know who she was or where she belonged . it is the reason she ended up in the hospital . sharon : you ca n't blame yourself that she took those energy pills . nick : i have to accept responsibility for this . i tried to blame jack . i tried to put this on him because he started dating and he basically gave up on phyllis , but this is not on jack . it 's on me . i 'm the reason . it 's me . i 'm the reason summer 's life turned upside down . it 's the reason i lost my daughter . sharon : nick , do n't do this to yourself . nick : when i think about the great life that you and i had , then i think about the great life that jack and phyllis could have had with summer . sharon : maybe i can help you . you 're always there for me . let me be there for you . nick : you are . sharon : no , but i mean all the time . when you go to sleep every night , when you wake up every morning . nick : what are you talking about ? sharon : move in with me . mariah : i do n't know . it does n't feel right . ian : eh ? mariah : using sharon the way that you 're suggesting . she 's already done way more for me than i deserve . ian : well , it 's not a one - way street . i mean , letting her help you helps her , too . mariah : how ? ian : it 's healing for her . i mean , she 's obviously still grieving over the loss of her daughter . i mean , look how easy it was for you to make her think that she was seeing cassie . she 's desperately trying to recapture that -- that special connection that only exists between a mother and her child . mariah : [ scoffs ] yeah , like that exists . ian : hey . do n't let your feelings for your mother prevent you from having a relationship with sharon . mariah : who says i want one ? ian : you look me in the eye and tell me you do n't . hmm ? mariah : i guess -- i guess it 's kind of nice feeling cared about for a change . ian : [ chuckles ] right . okay . getting closer to sharon could be good for both of you . mariah : i 'll think about it . ian : good . and remember this . if things do n't work out , you 'll always have a place in my family . mariah : [ sighs ] ian : [ chuckles ] chelsea : so , now that you know this will be completely anonymous , let 's get started . jenna : um , i 'd still like to know a little bit more about your documentary before i commit to being a part of it . billy : oh , yeah , of course . joan , will you fill jen in on what we 're doing ? she pitches it a lot better than i do . and while we 're doing that , i will check in with our local office and make sure our crew is lined up . do you have a phone i can use ? my cell phone service sucks . jenna : uh , there 's one in the kitchen . just through there . billy : great . thanks . make sure you tell her all about the awards we 've won , huh ? chelsea : you know i will . [ sighs ] so ... as you know , liam and i are creating this documentary about expats that have moved to australia and currently live there . we 're interested in exploring the physical and emotional toll that has on individuals and their families . so , let 's get started . according to our records , you have a son ? jenna : max . chelsea : max . okay . max -- and how old is max ? jenna : he 's six . chelsea : six . wow . oh , he must have been so excited to move to the land of koalas and kangaroos . [ chuckles ] jenna : it was an adjustment for him . chelsea : oh , okay , but he 's happy here ? jenna : he 's very happy . yeah , and , in fact , i just remembered i have to pick him up from school . chelsea : now ? jenna : yes , i am sorry . he has a half day . i forgot . i just need to , um , grab my jacket and purse in the kitchen . chelsea : wait . just be one second . chelsea : if you could just give me a few more minutes , i just have a couple more questions . jenna : i really like to be there when school lets out . chelsea : i understand . completely . actually , i have a son , too . connor . he 's almost 1 , so ... i understand about worrying . i do n't think i slept for the first six months of his life . i mean , even now , if he coughs or sneezes , i 'm immediately on the phone with the doctor . jenna : i was the same way with max . yeah , pediatrician was number one on my speed dial . chelsea : as crazy as it is to be worried all the time , though , i would n't trade being a parent for anything . i mean , it really is the most amazing experience in the whole world . jenna : yeah . it 's weird how rewarding and how terrifying it can be at the same time . chelsea : it 's true . it 's true . i did n't think i could ever care about someone so much , but the second i got pregnant , i knew i would do anything for my child . i wanted him to see everything . i wanted him to experience everything . actually , he almost did . we almost moved to paris . i was gon na raise him there . we were , um , gon na show him europe and show him the whole world , and our life was -- was gon na be amazing . jenna : what happened ? chelsea : my husband died . and so did all those dreams . ian : leslie . hello . leslie : ian . ian : let me buy you a coffee . we can catch up . leslie : since you 're no longer my client , we have nothing to catch up on . in fact , if we never spoke again , it would suit me just fine . ian : aw , i 'm sorry you feel that way . i really enjoyed our time together . we grew very close , did n't we ? leslie : we were never friends . ian : oh , you mean like you and avery ? how is she , by the way ? i heard all about her kidnapping and paul being shot trying to rescue her . terrible . leslie : yes . it is . ian : at least now everyone knows that i was n't the one sending all those threatening messages . and that it finally proves once and for all what an upstanding citizen i am . and that i have absolutely no agenda . leslie : lying really is just like breathing to you , is n't it ? nikki : oh . so , what happened ? dylan : well , stitch asked them to put a rush on everything , but it 's gon na be at last a day before they know if they can accept me as a donor . nikki : thank you so much for doing this . dylan : i just hope i pass . avery : sounds like you 've already made up your mind about going ahead with the surgery . dylan : it 's the least i can do for paul . victoria : i ca n't believe that you and paul have the same blood type . i mean , ab negative is so rare . dylan : yeah , i know . for months i 've been cursing the fact that i had any part of ian 's dna in me . now his genes could end up saving paul 's life . nikki : it 's a good thing that paul is n't aware of that right now . jack : hi . how 's paul ? victoria : hey . his liver was badly damaged , and they tried to repair it . nikki : he needs a transplant . jack : oh , dear god . how 's christine ? nikki : scared . victoria : she 's in the chapel . she 's probably praying that they find a donor . nikki : but her prayers may have been answered . it turns out that dylan has the same blood type as paul . so we 're waiting to see if he can be a donor . jack : wow , that is very generous of you . dylan : any word on summer ? jack : the police have a few leads . actually , that 's why i 'm here . avery , i was hoping you could answer some questions about this austin travers . avery : sure . i do n't know how helpful i can be . jack : where is he from ? avery : i do n't know . he never said . jack : what about a girlfriend ? does she have a name ? avery : yeah , i 'm not sure she even existed . jack : can you tell me anything , anything at all , about him that would give me a clue as to where he 's taken summer ? nikki : jack , you 're not planning on trying to find summer on your own . jack : i have to do something , nikki . nikki : no , you need to let the police handle it . dylan : just be careful . bad things can happen when you interfere with the cops doing their job . jack : i just ca n't stand not knowing what 's going on . summer : hey , i was thinking we should get something to eat before we go -- austin ? [ knock on door ] summer : did you forget your key ? do n't shoot ! do n't shoot ! nick : can i get you some more tea ? sharon : um ... no , but i would like you to answer the question . nick : you really want me to move in with you ? sharon : that 's the one . nick : i do n't know . i mean , i appreciate what you 're trying to do , but ... it 's a big step . and not just for you and me , but for faith , too . it 's -- it 's a commitment . do you really think we can get back what we had ? sharon : i think we can build something new . something better and stronger . so ... what do you say ? can we be a family again ? nick : yeah , let 's do it . mariah : sorry . sharon : oh , mariah . that 's okay . we were -- we were just celebrating . mariah : oh , did they find summer ? nick : no . sharon : but they will . mariah : well , if there 's anything i can do . nick : yeah , the police have it covered . mariah : right . of course . well , my shift 's starting , so ... nick : yeah , noah will be here soon . mariah : okay , well , i 'll hold down the fort until he gets here . sharon : did you see that ? she 's offering to help with summer and cover for noah . she 's really trying . nick : mm - hmm . [ cell phone rings ] nick : that 's gcpd . yeah , hi . this is nick . great . okay . thank you . they found summer . sharon : [ sighs ] leslie : thank you . avery : oh , hello , again . leslie : oh , hi . um , i thought you were at the hospital getting tested to be paul 's donor . dylan : all finished . just waiting for the results . leslie : okay , well -- ian : avery . i heard about your terrible ordeal . i 'm glad to see you 're okay . avery : you ca n't imagine how little that means to me . ian : oh , i 'm sorry to hear that . i thought that once you realized that i was n't the one sending you those threatening messages that you 'd change your opinion of me . dylan : not really . ian : you wo n't admit that you misjudged me ? dylan : the only thing that 's changed is some good may come out of your miserable existence . ian : pray tell . dylan : turns out you passed something worthwhile onto me after all . ian : honor ? decency ? a passion for doing the right thing ? dylan : your blood type . it makes me a compatible organ donor for paul williams . so i guess thanks to you i might be able to save a decent man 's life . ian : hm . victoria : billy , i know you went to australia to talk to ben 's ex - wife . digging up dirt on ben is no way to win me back . you know , you say that you love me , but when you do things like this , it 's really hard to believe . stop this now . i mean it . jack : sorry for eavesdropping . victoria : [ sighs ] that 's okay , jack . you know what ? you 're just gon na hear it eventually . if not from billy , then from kelly . jack : kelly ? victoria : yeah , kelly 's the one who told ben why billy went to australia . that 's how i found out . jack : i can not figure what 's up with those two . victoria : ben and kelly ? jack : [ sighs ] kelly said they were close once . it certainly seems like they still are . victoria : well , that explains why kelly ratted out billy to ben . jack : ben told kelly that you were pregnant , claimed it was part of a casual conversation . victoria : i do n't trust kelly , but i am grateful that she tipped off ben about why billy 's in australia . jack : and once again my brother thinks first , then acts later . victoria : [ sighs ] why does he not realize the repercussions , jack ? jack : because he loves you , victoria . because he wants to protect you from ben 's secret , whatever that is . victoria : nothing ben is hiding could hurt me more than billy already has . jenna : i am so sorry about your husband . chelsea : thank you . it 's been hard . having to be mother and father to my son . i mean , boys -- they need their dad . jenna : well , they need a positive male role model . yeah . chelsea : well , adam , i mean , he was n't perfect , but he loved me a lot and he loved connor . jenna : sometimes love is just not enough . chelsea : yeah , well , i mean , i think sometimes when they 're taken away from you , it 's a lot harder . adam and i , we had so many plans and dreams for our future . you know ? we had this amazing life . and then suddenly it was just gone . and for a long time , i really thought that he would come back to me . i really did , but eventually i had to realize the truth . that i have to raise my child alone . and as you know , it 's not easy . jenna : no . it is n't . max 's father , he , um ... he did n't die like yours . but ... sometimes i think it might have been better if he had , but ... chelsea : jenna . why do you say that ? jenna : i do n't want to talk about my ex - husband . chelsea : he cheated on you , did n't he ? men , they are so -- jenna : no , he was n't unfaithful . chelsea : was he abusive ? oh , my g ! it 's no wonder you do n't want to talk about it . jenna : okay , listen . i have to pick up my son . so you and your associate , you have to go . billy : well , sorry about that . [ chuckles ] i was on the phone with the producers . they want to cut our budget again . chelsea : ugh . billy : i hope you guys started without me . chelsea : yeah , yeah . we 're making a lot of progress . jenna : but i have to go , so you need to leave . billy : sure . no problem . did you get what we needed ? chelsea : just -- just one more thing . nick : where 's summer . is she okay ? harding : oh , she 's fine , but she 's not here . nick : you said you found her . harding : yeah , she 's in a motel near the canadian border . i knew you and her dad would want to know . nick : jack said he was gon na come talk to you . harding : oh , yeah . he did . he was here earlier . i did n't have any information then . i left him a message . nick : was summer with travers ? harding : no , she was alone . nick : did she say where he was ? harding : she 's not talking . nick : she 'll talk to me . ian : i need some clarification , son . dylan : i 'm not your son ! you think you 're gon na walk out of this door free and clear and do this again ? ian : i know about your military background , all right ? dylan : it 's about to come in handy . ian : i understand you 're a dangerous man . what are you gon na do ? huh ? you gon na kill me ? dylan : i 'm gon na make you wish you were dead ! ian : do n't kill me , dylan . if you do , you 'll never know . leslie : now , once you meet all the criteria to be a donor , they 'll just go ahead with the surgery . avery : if he meets the criteria . leslie : i thought having the same blood type automatically makes you a match ? dylan : it does . avery : well , there are a lot of factors involved . leslie : okay , well , if it does n't work out , paul 's on the national donor list , right ? dylan : there 's no guarantee that they 're gon na find him a liver in time . only 1 % of the population is ab negative . that 's why i have to do this . i am paul 's best chance . avery : well , paul has two brothers and maybe one of them will be a match . dylan : but i already am . leslie : i 'm meeting a client . i 'll talk to you later . okay ? avery : you 're really determined to do this . you 're determined to be paul 's donor . dylan : you know me . i have a habit of running toward trouble . avery : yeah , that 's what concerns me here . you 're rushing into this . you 're not thinking it through . dylan : you sound like stitch and the shrink that interviewed me . avery : oh , good . i sound like a trained physician . i will take that as a compliment . were you honest with either of them ? dylan : what does that mean ? avery : that means did you tell them that you blame yourself for what happened to paul ? dylan : if i let paul do his job , paul would n't be fighting or his life . avery : okay , first of all , you have no way of knowing that . and second , you saved my life . dylan : and now i have to save paul 's . avery : what about your life ? dylan : [ sighs ] stitch : it 's tough being the one on the outside looking in . nikki : well , i have no intention of causing any trouble between paul and christine . stitch : you think that 's what i 'm doing with billy and victoria ? nikki : you 've complicated her life . stitch : i do n't want to hurt her , nikki . nikki : you 're not the one who stands to be hurt . if that baby turns out to be billy 's -- actually , no . even if it 's not ... stitch : you think she 'll go back to him . nikki : i think when you have the kind of connection they do , it 's very hard to walk away from that . i think i 'm gon na go in for a minute . nick : summer , are you sure you 're okay ? summer : yeah , i told you i was in my text . you did n't have to sic the cops on me . nick : summer , you went off with a dangerous criminal . of course i called the police . summer : yeah , austin 's not dangerous . nick : he kidnapped avery and held her at gunpoint . he shot paul . paul could die . summer : yeah , it was an accident , dad . nick : it was an accident ? then why did travers run ? summer : i do n't know . he was scared . nick : he should be . he 's in a lot of trouble . you can be in a lot of trouble , too , if you do n't tell us where he is . summer : i do n't know . nick : damn it , summer . tell me the truth . austin : excuse me . nick : you stupid punk ! you messed with the wrong -- do n't you -- harding : hey , hey ! let it go ! i 'm serious ! back off ! austin : i 'm here to turn myself in . harding : well , that 's handy . 'cause you 're under arrest . you have the right to remain silent . anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law . summer : no , please ! no , please ! no ! harding : ... you ca n't afford one , one will be appointed to you by the state . do you understand these rights as i 've read them to you ? summer : [ sighs ] jack : police found summer . victoria : oh , finally some good news . jack : that 's not the only good news . we do n't have to worry about billy . victoria : you spoke to him ? jack : no , but chelsea will make sure he does n't get into trouble . victoria : chelsea ? jack : i spoke to a friend of mine who 's in the airline business . billy arrived in australia a little while ago . chelsea is with him . chelsea : do you think we could have a follow - up interview since this got cut short ? jenna : i do n't know . excuse me . billy : well , it 's very important that we get all the facts . jenna : call me . we 'll see . chelsea : okay , great . thank you so much . jenna : mm - hmm . billy : thank you . jenna : bye . billy : i told you rayburn 's hiding something . chelsea : i can get her to tell us what it is . she 'll talk . leslie : he 's gon na figure it out , you know . ian : that 's when the real fun begins . nikki : christine will be back really soon . she told me the two of you are planning on trying for a family . i think that 's wonderful . i know that you have regrets about ricky and heather . you deserve a second chance to be a father . if it were n't for you , i would n't have a second chance with dylan . and because of him , you 're gon na get a second chance . i , uh ... kind of have been keeping this from you , but ... dylan has the same blood type as you . can you believe it ? so right now , they 're testing him to see if he can donate part of his liver to you . i 'll bet you 're glad now that you helped me find him , huh ? [ chuckles ] oh , my god . you and i have been such good friends all these years . all the crazy times . [ sighs ] we were just kids . [ chuckles ] paul : everything i need is here . you really believe that ? nikki : oh , yes , i do . i truly believe it , paul . paul : well , you 're here , nikki , and ... and i 'm here , and you know how much i always cared about you . and if it 's the truth -- nikki : it is . it is the truth . paul : you 're the only woman i ever cared for . [ next_on ] willa : ian is n't able to father children . cane : i do n't think your dad and hilary will be together that long . hilary : i love it . | mariah talks to ian and recites everything sharon has done to help her . she even mentions that sharon persuaded nick to give her a job at his club . ian tells mariah that she could use sharon to get even more and advises her not to let her bad relationship with her mother get in the way of her forming a relationship with sharon . mariah does n't want to take advantage of sharon but agrees to think about his idea . ian tells mariah that if things do n't work out with sharon , she always has a place in his family . ian also tells mariah to stay away from him , because the people in genoa city do n't like him , and it is n't good for her to be seen with him . nick thinks that if he would have taken the dna test sooner and told jack and summer the truth , her life would n't be such a mess right now . |
michael : the fact that you thought you had to leave town , that you had just to disappear . avery : [ sighs ] it was a moment of panic . michael : yeah , panic 's a response , fight or flight . the question is , a response to what ? hearing about your car by the lake , the blood in your apartment , obviously we were all concerned . avery : well , that was never my intention . i just needed to clear my head . i needed a few days . michael : i 'm not buying it . phyllis was beside herself . i was worried . you really -- you really planned just to leave without telling any of us , and not just for a few days . avery : you afraid that i 'm gon na drop my caseload on you ? michael : if you felt leaving was your only option , just tell me why . devon : explain this to me , 'cause i 'm not really sure why you want to break the lease here . we designed the boutique to your needs and specifications , and i know your business is doing well 'cause i see stuff flying off the racks all the time . lauren : well , you 're not wrong . i just do n't feel like this location is right for the boutique . lily : oh , it is not a good fit at all . lauren : and there you have it . devon : i see what 's going on here . lily : you just had to beat me to the punch , did n't you ? i wanted to have the pleasure of throwing your cheating ass out of here . phyllis : why would someone text you about m and some man ? marco : i do n't know . a mistake ? a modern - day wrong number . who sent it ? phyllis : says unknown . marco : well , both dead . terrible message for someone . kyle : dad , i need to ... talk . phyllis : kyle . what 's going on , honey ? what 's -- what 's the problem ? you all right ? kyle : yeah , i just -- i need to talk to my dad . phyllis : okay , well , i know how to listen , too . what is it ? kyle : i - i just had a thing with summer . marco : and he needs some advice from his old man . sweetheart , do you mind ? phyllis : i get it . you two talk . we 'll catch up later . marco : [ sighs ] so , what -- what happened ? you two have an argument ? kyle : yes , um ... but there 's more . uh ... the conversation that we had , i do n't think we should have gone there at all . marco : but it 's something you can fix , right ? victor : what 's wrong , sweetheart ? what do you need to tell me ? summer : i heard some things from kyle , and i got kind of worried . victoria : worried about what , summer ? summer : i mean , this merger has never made any sense . i mean , in theory , it makes sense , yes . you know , finally combining into one business instead of constantly beating each other up for the rest of your lives , but ... just because newman - abbott exists now does n't mean that the families suddenly trust each victor : well , i understand your concern , but , you know , jack wants to make this work , so we have been told . victoria : unless what kyle told you is not really true . summer : look , kyle lived with you before his mom died , right ? victor : yeah . he was a nice kid . so what 's your concern ? summer : i just do n't want kyle stuck in the middle . victoria : in what , summer ? summer : the newmans and abbotts hurt i mean , it always happens . victor : sweetheart , it 's not going to come from our side , okay ? not this time . i promise you . summer : okay . i love you , grandpa . victor : okay , sweetheart . victoria : well , she wanted to tell you more but felt like she could n't . victor : [ sighs ] yeah . but at least now we know that the abbotts are planning a move against us . victoria : clearly . the question is , what do we do next ? devon : we 're not gon na do this again in the middle of my hotel , so if you guys need to say something to each other , can you use my office ? lauren : oh , that wo n't be necessary . i 'm leaving . obviously this partnership is over , and if there are any legalities , please -- lily : you 're gon na have your husband the lawyer deal with it ? how nice of you to have him deal with the fallout of you chasing my husband . lauren : i never chased your husband . lily : so what ? cane chased you , then ? ! devon : can you please keep your voices down ? lily : you 're so great at seduction , are n't you ? first -- it 's so genius . you get cane to work for you . lauren : excuse me ! he came to me ! it was his idea , and it was strictly business ! lily : please . you were not talking business every time i saw you two together . lauren : you 're absolutely right . he was a very good friend to me during a difficult time in my life , and that is all . lily : you know , i used to feel so guilty thinking the worst when i would see you two drinking together at the bar . devon : lily , let 's not do this again . lily : why are you telling me ? she 's the one who trashed her marriage with michael when he needed her most . cane : you have to keep this down . i can hear you all the way down the hall . lily : i do n't care , cane ! you did this ! both of you ! i forgave you when you lied to me about devon and hilary for us and for the kids . and then you turn around and you act just like them and cheat on me in front of my face ? ! cane : wait , wait , stop it . i love you , okay , and i know i made a mistake . i know you 're angry at me . but it was nothing ! lily : okay , fine , i 'll just go kiss some random guy , then , since it was nothing ! cane : lily , it was n't like -- lily : she wanted you , and she clearly got you ! cane : it was n't like that . lily : to hell it was n't . cane : it was michael ! michael set all of this up ! michael : all right , you have a restraining order . joe ca n't come anywhere around you . i can remind him and send him on his way , or we can call the police . either way , we can -- avery : no , i 'll take care of this . michael : you do n't have to -- you 're not listening . avery : joe . joe : hey . should you be so close ? hard to claim you 're scared of me if you 're in my personal space . avery : get out . joe : i just came for a coffee . avery : you have a restraining order against the owner of this place , yet here you are . joe : and you have a restraining order against me , and yet here you are . what ? you ca n't get enough ? look , if you want to take me out back and see how close we can get , then -- avery : oh , my god . you 're disgusting . at least you 're honest about what an abusive pig you are . it must have been excruciating to pretend you 're not complete scum ! joe : why are you even here ? dylan traded you in . you think he 's gon na call you back ? michael : all right , all right ! this conversation has gone on long enough . joe , on your way . joe : i guess even dylan figured it out . you 'd cheat on me , so you 'd probably cheat on him , too . avery : [ sighs ] victoria : summer knows something , but she 's too loyal to kyle to tell us . victor : and kyle probably knows more than he 's letting on . victoria : you know , they 're both still young enough to think that they can be loyal to each other and to their family . they do n't know that that 's completely impossible . victor : i think she gave us a warning . victoria : but she did n't give us the details . victor : uh - huh . well , as you said , she 's in love , you know . maybe you take someone who has been caught between these two families to lend her sympathetic ear ? victoria : i do know what it 's like to be in love with the enemy , that 's for sure . victor : so you will talk to her ? victoria : [ sighs ] i 'll talk to billy . victor : you 'd do that ? victoria : yes , dad , i 'll do that . i 'll be careful . but it 's worth a shot . besides , billy 's not always careful . he might give away the whole plan without even realizing it . victor : you are your father 's daughter , are n't you ? kyle : i was just such a jerk when i set up that dinner for summer , acting like a hotshot , like an idiot , and she gave me a second chance to focus on her . marco : and it worked . i 've seen you two together . kyle : right . dad , she saw us , the abbotts , when aunt ash was in the hospital . marco : yeah , we were all there for ashley . kyle : no , when we were talking about your plan . summer could tell something was up . marco : and you denied knowing anything , as we discussed ? kyle : yes , i did , but she put it together , dad , and i did n't give her any details , but she knows enough . marco : enough of what ? kyle : that there 's something going on , dad . and i think she might warn victor . marco : what the hell did you do ? after all my planning , all my work , you blew it ? ! over a girl ? ! victoria : i just want the truth . i want to know that everyone that 's involved in this merger is acting in good faith , including you . victor : me ? victoria : yes , you . do n't be coy . this whole merger and this whole friendship with jack is like some elaborate game of chicken . victor : i have always been up front about what i want and what 's best for newman enterprises , and this merger 's it . victoria : other than the fact that you 've loathed jack for years ? victor : but now we are friends , you know . victoria : [ chuckles ] victor : i 've always believed keep your friends close and your enemies even closer . marco : what the hell were you thinking ? or did you even use your brain ? ! this is bigger than you ! bigger than your little romance ! this is huge , and you blew it ! kyle : oh , dad , look , i - i did n't give her any deta -- marco : you warn summer , and she warns victor ! our advantage is gone ! thanks ! kyle : dad , i 'm sorry . marco : just ... give me a second . kyle : look , dad , i know i screwed up , okay , but that 's why i 'm here , all right ? i 'll try and fix this . marco : you did the right thing . you ... you came to me . you should always feel you can trust me . and if i overreact , if i blow up , that was a mistake . look , this -- this merger , this plan , is like a battle . nothing turns out like you plan . and anything worth winning comes at a price . kyle : dad , maybe the price is too high . victor calling you a friend ? marco : he calls me his friend 'cause he saved my life . that 's how this whole thing started . and i was grateful , except he took that to mean that i could n't survive without him . because he saved my life , he owns me . he controls me . he 's wrong about that . i did n't get this far to -- to live under someone 's thumb . no , this is a fight . it 's a fight for my life , for my family , for you ! kyle : and now it 's at risk because of me . marco : no , you know what ? we just raised the stakes . that 's all . i can deal with this . in fact , i can find a way to turn this to my advantage . kyle : dad , i 'm sorry . this is all because of how i feel about summer . i just did n't want to lose her . and i think i did anyway . phyllis : there she is . you okay ? kyle 's worried about you . summer : yeah , worried about me or worried that i 'll talk to grandpa ? phyllis : talk to victor ? about what ? summer : i 'm a newman , and i love jack , but , you know , i 'm so sick of the newmans versus the abbotts and the abbotts versus the newmans and -- and the business and the plans and the agendas . phyllis : well , it 's not really about business . it 's about family and grudges and a whole heck of a lot more . and that is gon na be going on and on with or without us . summer : i do n't want any of it . you know , i just want a normal life . i mean , i have n't even really dated and i 'm already a widow . but kyle and i , we have this really great connection . it feels like it 's been there for ... for forever . and it 's always been really complicated , and now it feels like we finally have our chance . at least i thought we did . phyllis : summer , you do . summer : i do n't know if we do . and i 'm starting to think that there 's always gon na be something in the way . michael : this is my phone . this is my finger getting ready to call the police , which would mean that you would be hauled in for defying the restraining order . joe : i did n't know she was here . michael : yeah , well , ignorance is not a defense . plus you know this establishment is owned by a man against whom you have a restraining order , so basically you 're just begging to be arrested . joe : a guy ca n't get a coffee ? michael : i can . you ca n't . you have goaded and harassed and taunted avery with impunity , but no more . i used to be the d.a . they take me seriously down at the police department . you , not so much . so how badly do you want that cup of coffee ? joe : relax , michael . this kind of stress ca n't be good for your health . is n't a shame when love gets messy ? you tell each other your deepest , darkest secrets , and then it falls apart , and yet you know each other in ways that no one else ever will . cane : maybe the treatment has done a number on michael 's logic , okay , but he wants you to be happy . he wants you to have support and attention in every way . devon : in every way ? cane : yes . devon : as in ... he admitted that ? cane : not in so many words . i mean , that is his intention . he 's been manipulating this since the very beginning . lily : it was your idea to work with lauren . cane : yes , yes , it was my idea , but michael backed it and he encouraged her to believe and agreed to everything . i mean , i wanted to sit down and talk to him about the table , but every time i did , he got up and he found some excuse to walk i mean , you must have noticed this . i mean , i wanted to tell you. > > lauren : why did n't you ? cane : [ sighs ] of course , i thought that he would come to you and sit down and talk to you about this , 'cause there are some things that a husband and wife should just work out on their own . lauren : oh , my god . i feel so stupid . lily : yeah , i can see why . devon : lily . lily : by the way , this does n't mean that you did n't husband . it just means your husband 's disgusting , too . cane : lily . hey . devon : hey , hey lily : what ? ! devon : where are you going ? this is when you go talk to your husband and work things out . lily : i would n't expect a man who cheated with wife to understand . hilary : [ sighs ] do you still want to talk about romantic wedding plans ? marco : summer is special , and you two have already worked through so many issues . you and summer are still together . kyle : how about you and me ? marco : i ca n't tell you how happy i am to have my son in my life . and you came to the right guy . no one knows any better than yours truly the crazy things we do to keep that woman looking at us just that way . kyle : it was n't crazy . it was stupid and dangerous with all we have at stake . marco : i 'll figure out someway to use it to my advantage . the nice thing is , in business , you can do that . you can always have a next move . just have to regroup . in love , it 's different . it 's all impulse . immediate action . thinking is out . feeling is everything . god , i - i made some bonehead moves in my life , too . kyle : i just do n't think rationally when i 'm around summer . marco : i know what you mean . the thunderbolt . kyle : [ chuckles ] marco : how she gets under your skin , into your head , how she makes you think that anything is possible . you 've suddenly discovered what makes life worth living . kyle : in your case , she must have felt the same way . she came out of a coma for you . i 'm sorry . i - i thought you were talking about phyllis . marco : uh , d - definitely . yeah , no . red -- red is a firecracker . no doubt about it . phyllis : so what exactly did kyle tell you ? summer : well , i told him that i needed to know what he , billy , and jack were talking about at the hospital , you know , if they were planning on making some move to hurt the newmans or -- or the business . i was n't asking him to betray anyone . i just -- i just needed to know if they had some secret plan . and kyle really wanted to tell me . he did . phyllis : because he adores you . summer : yeah , but not enough to actually tell me . phyllis : well , you ca n't think of it in those terms . summer : why not ? phyllis : because it 's not fair to kyle . and it 's not all black and white . summer : kyle said it 's for my own good that i do n't know . he does n't want me stuck in the middle . but that 's where we are anyways no matter what just because of the last names that we have or because of the secrets that people make us keep . phyllis : so , kyle did n't give you any specifics at all ? summer : no . you know , i never really thought that this merger was legit anyways . i kept thinking that it was just some long con that grandpa and jack were pulling on each other 'cause of the games that they play . but now that they claim that they 're friends , it 's so much more dangerous , and it 's gon na get worse , mom . i can feel it . i just felt like i had to go tell grandpa . phyllis : okay . what did you tell victor ? everything you just told me right now ? summer : no , not even that much . it felt wrong , you know , 'cause kyle ... just everything i do and everything i decide , i wind up hurting someone , and i hate it . phyllis : come here . you 're my girl . devon : hell yes i want to plan our wedding . i 've had enough of pretending we 're not in love . i do n't want to do that again . hilary : well , we can still be in love without a wedding . devon : well , sure , we can , but it does n't have to be that way . hilary : okay , then , um , why do n't we get out of town ? you know , we can get a justice of the peace and ... devon : i 'm pretty sure we can afford to have the wedding of your dreams . hilary : it 's not about the money . it 's ... devon : no , it 's not about the money . it 's about giving you what you deserve to have . hilary : what i deserve . that is a frightening thought . devon : you deserve to have the life and the kind of wedding that you want to have . hilary : one with you . that 's all i need . devon : our wedding should still be beautiful . hilary : and it will be if you 're there . devon , i do n't have any family , okay ? and do you really want to force lily to be there knowing how she feels about me and her own marriage right now ? devon : is this about lily ? hilary : and neil . i just feel like out of respect , we should keep it low key . devon : i respect my father , and i love my sister , but you are my life . you are my family now . and this , us , it deserves to be celebrated . us getting married -- i want to celebrate that . hilary : are you sure this is about our love or do you have something to prove ? michael : you 're gon na have to help me out here . after all , you are you , avery bailey clark , the woman who has hung out with death - row inmates . you do n't spook easily . but joe ? avery : joe ? michael : well , yeah , i can see that forgive me for making a leap here , but i know about joe 's story from the better daystition , about how he was treated as a kid , the beatings . sometimes that behavior is learned . the cycle repeats . avery : i do n't know what you mean . michael : i think you do . he 's hurt you before , has n't he ? you 're my friend . you are my client . avery : it was a long time ago , and it was only once . [ sniffles ] michael : okay . avery : and like you said , it was -- it was al up , so ... michael : yeah , well , he 's not a avery : no , he 's not . michael : look , no matter how he was treated as a child , joe is responsible for actions . avery : i know . i thought he 'd changed . ? ? avery : no , he has n't . he still has all that anger inside but i guess since i cheated on him during our marriage and pushed him off we 're even . michael : do n't . do n't . not even as a joke . what did i say ? he is responsible . not his father and sure as hell not you . you did n't make him like he is . you did n't earn this kind of abuse . avery : i know . michael : do you ? do you ? because i know how this stuff goes . i know how it seeps into one 's life . i saw it up close at home . so if there 's part of you that believes that you deserved that kind of treatment -- avery : i do n't . michael : good . okay . so , the way you reacted to his being here , getting all up in his face -- avery : yeah , well , i was n't gon na give him the satisfaction of me being afraid of him . michael : no , no , but you do n't have to prove it by hanging around him , and you simply ca n't just leave town . we have to sit down . we have to think about how we 're gon na deal with him . a restraining order is not gon na solve it . lily . avery : [ gasps ] avery : lily , what is wrong with you ? michael : it appears she 's upset with me . avery : and you do n't seem the least bit surprised about it ? michael : probably because i deserve it . would you like to take another shot ? lily : do you really want to make that offer ? 'cause i will take you up on it . avery : i do n't understand any of this . michael : could you give us a minute ? avery : yeah , sure . restraining orders for everyone . lily : you know , i had heard about your past . everyone has . but no one cares because you have become this upstanding husband and father and lawyer . but i guess your mind still works in dirty ways , does n't it ? because first i catch you with a prostitute . michael : yeah , thank you for your discretion in that matter . lily : and now you 're pimping your wife out to my husband . michael : what did cane say ? lily : that you basically did everything except book him and lauren a room . michael : funny . i do n't exactly remember it that way . lily : oh , so what ? cane 's now behind this ? michael : i had been drinking . lily : you know , i have learned not to take that as an excuse for bad behavior . michael : okay , how about this ? searing pain , radiation treatment , months of hormone therapy , giving myself shots every day ! does that cut me any slack ? ! lily : how dare you act like i have n't had cancer ! that disease almost killed me ! so i do n't want to hear about how hard your treatment is or how hard your relationship is or how hard anything is for you ! is that what this is about ? you feel like having prostate cancer makes you less of a man ? well , why do n't you stand up and be a man and take your wife in your arms and tell her you love her and that you want to spend your life together ? michael : it is not that simple . lily : well , then do n't be a coward and drag my family into this , my husband , mattie and charlie 's father ! michael : no , your husband 's a fine man . cane is decent . i did n't mean to interfere in your lives . i just wanted lauren to have someone to confide in . lily : did it ever occur to you that you were messing with someone else 's family or were you just thinking about yourself ? michael : no , all i was thinking about was lauren ! i 'm sorry for the misunderstanding ! but everything that 's ... i did n't force them to kiss , lily . they did that all on their own . lauren : i knew he was pushing me away , but i thought it was out of fear . he did n't want to be too attached to me in case ... cane : he loves you . he does . i mean , what he did was out of love . i mean , it was stupid , but it was loving . he just wants you to be happy . lauren : without him ? how is that even possible ? cane : because he knows that he 's the center of your universe . lauren : and that 's a bad thing ? i mean , i rely on him to be there for me as much as i am there for him . and we have fought our way back from some pretty terrible places . and i was ready to do it again . i mean , that nonsense with the prostitute and his remarks and the divorce papers , i ... i was ready to forgive him . cane : he did n't sleep with the prostitute . lauren : cane , come on . he was arrested . cane : he was arrested , yes , but he did n't sleep with her . he just talked to her . lauren : so , why did he want me to believe that he did ? cane : 'cause he wanted to push you away . he wanted to give you permission to be with another man so you can be happy . lauren : oh , my god . i ca n't believe it 's been going on that long . cane : you know , love and fear is a very dangerous combination . lauren : so our kiss -- he wanted that to happen . you know he 's using that -- that kiss as proof that our marriage is broken . he is still pushing me away . one meaningless kiss . victor : based on my new understanding with jack , i thought of simply confronting him and asking him what he was scheming . victoria : would that work ? victor : i do n't think so . victoria : so then we go about getting the information some other way . someone that jack trusts and confides in . victor : hmm . victoria : phyllis . she owes you big time , and she knows it . victor : i think it 's too late for that now . if we want leverage with jack , we can not get it through phyllis . victoria : who , then ? [ computer keys clacking ] [ footsteps approach ] phyllis : are you lying to me ? devon : i do n't have to prove anything to anyone . i just love you . and nothing 's gon na change that , not a piece of paper , not some words in front of a judge . nothing . devon : well , i do n't want to be ashamed of loving you . and i 'm not gon na run and hide like it 's wrong for us to be together . do you think it 's wrong for us to be together ? hilary : no , of course not . how could i think that ? especially when you look at me the way that you 're looking at me . i just -- i do n't think it 's right to shove it in neil 's face . devon : this is n't about neil , though . we lied to him already to protect his feelings , and that was a disaster . hilary : we did n't mean to hurt him . devon : but we did hurt him . and now he knows , and he 's dealing with it . hilary : and he 's hating us . devon : well , if that 's the way he feels , there 's nothing we can do about it . he does n't owe us his forgiveness , just like we do n't owe him a life of being miserable . but this is n't about neil . this wedding is about you and me . it 's about us loving each other and telling the world that i choose you forever and always and that i 'm damn proud that you choose me back . hilary : have i told you today that i love you ? devon : you can always tell me again . hilary : well , i love you , devon hamilton , and i ca n't wait to tell the world . cane : lily is fired up because she thinks i cheated on her , and she 's also furious with michael . joe : and i assume lauren , as well . which explains the mood she was in the other day . cane : she 's talked to you about this ? well , the thing with lily is when she 's angry , it 's hard to talk her down , even if she 's wrong , so ... joe : which she is n't this time . cane : i already told you that michael set this up . joe : and he forced you to kiss his wife ? cane : it was n't like that . joe : come on , cane . let 's just cut it , huh ? no one kisses a woman like that against her free will . if there 's an attraction there , just own it . cane : okay , all right . we are friends , and we work together , and that is it . joe : you work with the valet . when was the last time you kissed him ? cane : all right . i 'm not having this conversation with you . i have to check on the twins . excuse me . joe : good luck with that . well , you look more stunning than usual . lily : [ sighs ] you never stop , do you ? joe : just thought you 'd want to hear it from a disinterested party . you 're very sexy and stunning , and your husband did a very stupid thing . joe : you tell each other your deepest , darkest secrets , and then it falls apart , and yet you know each other in ways that no one else ever will . marco : you 're gon na have to be a little more specific . what exactly are you accusing me of lying about ? phyllis : summer 's worked up . she 's worried that you have pulled kyle into something big , something that 's putting him in the middle . is that why he was so upset earlier ? marco : the two of them had an argument . summer told you her side . kyle told me his . phyllis : about your plan ? marco : my plan ? no . we talked about love , about making the women in our lives happy , about what it takes to keep -- phyllis : stop . this is not about romance . and do not placate me . summer went to victor because she was so worried ! marco : summer went to victor ? what did she tell him ? phyllis : that 's what you care about , is n't it ? that my daughter spilled information to the enemy . marco : if summer is upset , i want to put her mind at ease . i love her , too . remember that . phyllis : she told victor nothing , as far as i know . no details . but that 's because she does n't know any , and she would n't betray kyle that way . she 's trying to protect the person she cares about ! marco : you say that like i 'm not trying to protect you and the people i care -- phyllis : yes , i do n't want protection ! i want the truth from you ! this merger , this bromance with victor -- has any of this ever been sincere ? and i do n't want you dancing around it anymore . you show me the respect of treating me as an equal . i am your wife . you are supposed to treat me with respect , and i 'm supposed to know you better than anyone , so when ashley and billy and kyle know something that i do n't know -- marco : o - okay . but i want you to answer a question first . if we could end this war once and for all by getting jabot and newman for us , for you , for me , and the rest of the abbotts , all of it , with you by my side , would that not be a worthy goal ?

[ sighs ] victoria : yeah . um , it 's daytime . travis : we could pretend it is n't . victoria : yes , but pretending would mean not facing the real world , and we agreed that we would . travis : life outside the bar and this bed . you sure you 're brave enough for that ? victoria : me ? brave enough ? really ? i do n't know if you realize this , but some people are afraid of me . travis : oh , i realize that . victoria : and i can be completely fearless and in control of any given situation . travis : well , this i want to see . victoria : well , you will . we just have to figure out where we 're gon na make our mark . travis : it 's your show . victoria : i think i know just where we can make a splash . chelsea : so ? do you want to talk to me today , or are you just gon na shut me down like you did last night ? adam : listen , you know the truth , right ? i want to be able to talk to you about everything . chelsea : okay , so then why do n't you start by telling me what you were talking about with ian ward at the prison ? adam : why ca n't you just trust that some things are better if you do n't know ? why ca n't you trust that ? chelsea : okay , so obviously it 's dangerous . why do n't you tell me what it is ? adam : because i do n't want you to wind up in prison ! dylan : sharon . hey , sweetheart . sage : you swore you 'd set things straight . you live a lie every second of the day . sharon : it 's not a lie . not in my heart . i love sully like any child i could ever have . sage : his name is christian . sharon : and dylan . he 's given his whole heart to sully . if i tore them apart now ... sage : you do n't care about your husband or my baby . all you care about is yourself . sharon : mariah . mariah , tell her that 's not true . sage : you know this pain , sharon , wanting to hold your baby , needing to be with your baby . you 're torturing nicholas . he 's grieving a son who 's alive . now my baby 's gon na grow up and have his father 's smile and my eyes , and everyone 's gon na know and everyone 's going to hate you . sharon : if i tell them now , if i lose sully ... sage : there is no sully , sharon . it 's christian . and i know what you did , and i will never forget . and i will haunt your nights until you make it right . dylan : hey . it was just a dream . you were talking in your sleep . do you even know what you said ? nick : you wanted me to give luca a second chance , so that 's what i 'm doing . luca : and i 'll take it gladly . summer : well , how did that happen in such a short time ? nick : your boyfriend can be useful . at times . luca : i just -- i want to prove myself . nick sees that . and your father wants you to be happy . hopefully he sees that i want the same thing . summer : well , you still did n't answer the part about the secrets , so , uh , what 's going on ? nick : [ sighs ] nothing . it 's just some details on a deal that need to be clarified . it 's really not a big deal . summer : well , something that victoria should know about ? is she running late again ? nick : she 'll be here . i got to go . thanks for the research , luca . luca : anytime , nick . i think he 's coming around , yeah ? summer : yeah , maybe . luca : gosh , your timing 's perfect . i missed you so much . if you were gone much longer , i was gon na fly to georgia and bring you back myself . summer : yeah , you still are not answering me about the secrets . what was my dad just trying to hide from me just now ? luca : [ sighs ] okay , look , you 're right . there is something nick wants to keep private . does n't affect you , okay ? you have my word . but it is a test of my loyalty . look , if i blow it this time , i wo n't get another shot with him , summer , and i want your father on our side . summer : okay . okay . i will drop it for now . but only for now . sharon : what did i say , anyway ?

please tell me what else is going on . sharon : it 's just adam 's murder case . it 's just all so dark . everything 's about death and loss . you know , you -- you live it at work , and nick is upset about sage 's name being dragged into this . dylan : i know . and you 've been really worked up since sage 's journal came out . it makes a lot of sense . either the journal is real and sage has been holding on to an ugly secret or it 's fake . either way , i 'm gon na tell you right now -- i am gon na find the truth , okay ? i promise you . so you wo n't have anything to worry about . love you . adam : it was michael . he thinks that , uh , if meredith testifies , he 's gon na remind the jury that she 's changed her story from not knowing anything about constance 's death to now all of a sudden she has all this inside information about constance 's murder . he 's also gon na bring up the fact that he thinks she 's developed an attachment for her patient . maybe she 's covering for him . chelsea : do i even want to know what kind of an attachment ? adam : well , you know , i mean , victor -- he can be pretty -- pretty charming if it means him getting out of prison . she 's probably in deep . chelsea : then she 's an idiot and i do n't pity her . so why do n't we get back to the fact that you are once again digging yourself into another hole entirely with ian ward ? adam : it 's not what i 'm doing . chelsea : yet it is what you 're doing . you said that you did n't want me going to prison , which means ... what exactly ? what are you planning to do ? and i swear , adam , if you tell me one more time to trust you ... please . trust me . adam : that 's fair . okay , fine . uh , you want to know ?

travis : i 'm just stating the facts . and my floor is not sticky , okay ? i mop it every night . victoria : it 's a little sticky . [ chuckles ] summer : okay . this is where we finally find victoria . and she has a friend with her . this is why she 's always late for work ? hi . victoria : hi ! summer : i was wondering when i 'd finally get to see you . victoria : uh , yeah . how was savannah ? how is daniel and lucy ? summer : everyone is doing really great . uh , who -- who 's your friend ? victoria : um -- luca : victoria , is this that meeting you mentioned you needed to take ? victoria : no , no . this is n't business . this is personal . summer , i 'd like for you to meet luca : you know , i just remembered i need to give you an update on that callahan account . do you mind ? victoria : uh , i think that can wait . summer : you know what ? no , you go and handle business , and i am gon na talk to ... ? travis : travis crawford . summer : travis . okay . travis and i are gon na get to know each other . you can go and handle that update . victoria : all right . um , sure . why do n't you all go and chat ? summer : okay . perfect . come and sit . the iced tea here is amazing . uh , can we get two , please ? thank you . luca : what the hell are you doing with that guy ? we think he tried to bring down our company . victoria : our company ? who the hell do you think you are ? luca : victoria -- victoria : i do n't need to hear this right now . i do n't know why you think you still have a vote in my personal life . i talked to travis about what you told me about his past . luca : well , then i guess he had some slick story about why he 's hiding behind a bar pretending to be someone he 's not . and it 's a total coincidence that he was a big - time commodities trader investing in oil . you meet him , and the newman oil rig springs a leak . look , this guy 's up to something , victoria . i can feel it . summer : thanks . i 'm sorry if that was pushy of me back there . it 's just aunt victoria 's not dated anyone since her divorce , and everyone is gon na want to meet you , unless they already have . so , are you a member here ? travis : no . first time . but it 's a nice place . summer : yeah . so , um , how did you guys meet ? have you met her kids ? travis : no , i have n't , but i 'd like to . and i know victoria just went through a rough break - up . summer : yeah , that is an understatement . she and billy -- well , we were hoping that they could work things out , but that did not happen . uh , so , you know , we 're just very protective of victoria . travis : yeah . that 's the impression i get . summer : mm - hmm . we just want her to be happy . so , you did n't tell me . how did you guys meet ? dylan : so , where are we at with adam being framed or not ? paul : well , since the lab tech 's money came from pharmaceuticals and not victor , i had the team look at , uh , anybody else who might have had contact with the tissue samples or the toxicology report . dylan : well , if anybody can cover their tracks , it 's victor newman . which is why i 'm working another angle . paul : right . forgery . dylan : forgery . paul : we have nothing to indicate forgery . dylan : well , that does n't mean that we ca n't find the actual forger . okay , i got three guys right here in the system who have the skill set to accomplish exactly that . these guys right here . have you ever heard of any of them ? paul : uh ... well , i know that guy . and more importantly , so does victor . chelsea : you want to help ian ward escape again ? are you out of your mind ? adam : well , at first glance , honey , it would appear so . chelsea : that is insane ! adam : yep . chelsea : adam , that 's breaking the law . no , that 's -- that 's breaking the law in front of the law 's face . are you asking to be thrown in jail ? adam : you know what ? in case you have missed it , i 'm already facing a prison sentence . victor 's done a bang - up job of setting me up . i need ian 's testimony to establish reasonable doubt . it 's the only way i 'm gon na be able to stay here with you and connor ! do you understand that ? chelsea : so lie . tell him it 's a deal and then let him rot in jail . adam : i ca n't lie ! you understand ? if i do that , he 's gon na do the exact same thing . he 's gon na take the stand and he 's gon na testify that i colluded ! i 'm not stupid . i understand this is not an ideal situation , but it 's all we 've got . it 's our insurance policy , all right ? we have to act on it . chelsea : ian ward is insane . if you help him go free , you do realize nobody 's safe . he could come back for you or -- or for us or for anybody in genoa city . and , adam , if that happens , it will be on your head . mariah : and sage was here ? how did she look after the accident ? sharon : [ sighs ] mariah , it was -- it was so real . and the worst part was , i was talking in my sleep . dylan heard me . he heard me say `` i 'm sorry `` to sage . mariah : this is -- this is not good . you have a legit mental illness that you 're treating . you add on all of this -- stress , the guilt -- it 's eating you alive . sharon : i do n't have a choice . mariah : yes , you do ! you deal with the guilt ! do n't let it come after you in your nightmares . go see a psychiatrist . sharon : and then what would i tell her , mariah ? that i 'm committing a crime of fraud , that i 'm lying to everyone about my baby ? she would break the doctor- patient confidentiality , go straight to the police , and i would lose dylan , we would lose sully , and i would have nothing . mariah : we 'd find somebody who wo n't do that . sharon : what are we gon na do ? interview them all in advance `` where do you draw the line on crimes ? if i 've done something terrible , will you expose me ? `` mariah : you need someone to help you get through this . sharon : no stranger is gon na be able to do that . [ sighs ] i know exactly what they would tell me . they 'd say the same thing . my nightmares are coming from the guilt . in order to handle the guilt , i have to expose my secret . if i just tell the whole world the truth , the nightmares will go away . [ knock on door ] mariah : i 'll get it . paul : frank ellis . remarkably skilled forger . total pro . and victor would recognize the name , since he was the same guy that jack and adam used to frame victor . i think he 's doing time now . dylan : according to this , he was released a few years back . paul : victor 's framing adam using the same guy that adam framed victor , using the same method -- confessions in a journal . does n't that seem just a little too ominous ? and you know ellis cut a deal and ratted out jack and adam . so victor knows that he ca n't exactly trust the guy . dylan : what does victor have to lose at this point except maybe adding a couple years to his sentence ? paul : [ sighs ] dylan : vengeance means more than anything to victor newman . just let me reach out to frank ellis , see if he 'll give us anything . paul : all right . let me see if i can find out his latest whereabouts . dylan : okay , you do that , and i 'm gon na try another angle . adam : babe , once ian escapes , he 's not gon na hang around genoa city , you know . he 's gon na go off far away and start another cult or whatever the hell he does . chelsea : right , right , adam . unless he 's cocky and stays in town . he is a very dangerous person . you know that . adam : well , if he stays in town , then he 's gon na go back to prison , all right ? rather soon , i would imagine . chelsea : and then rat you out probably . the last time he escaped , he was caught , so what 's gon na stop him from getting caught this time ? this man has no self - control . you do n't know what he 's gon na do next . you ca n't predict that . adam : i actually can , okay ? i know him . i 've worked with him . no one 's gon na get hurt . i 'm gon na make sure of that . chelsea : you 're gon na make sure of that ? okay , so why do n't you , um , explain how this break - out is gon na go ? why do n't you tell me then step by step so i feel a little bit better ? adam : i 'm not ... gon na do that . and no look that you give me is gon na change my mind . i have been cautious . i 've been careful . i 'm not telling you the details , all right ? chelsea : and what if something goes wrong , huh ? what 's gon na happen ? what ? like a swat team swoops in and there 's , like , a shootout , adam ? is that what 's gon na happen ? adam : oh , for pete 's sake . give me a break . like , if that happens , honey , i wo n't be anywhere near him . chelsea : life , death , uh , prison , danger . no big deal . you sound exactly like victor . victoria : hey . did you two have a nice chat ? summer : yeah , well , it 's a start . you know , when you 're dating a new guy , someone that you do n't know so well , you can never be too careful . victoria : oh , that 's so cute . my niece is quoting my words back to me . travis : family is the best . victoria : mm - hmm . luca : and now , if the boss does n't mind , we 're gon na take some time to celebrate summer coming home today . victoria : oh , yeah . go enjoy . summer : right . it was nice meeting you . travis : nice meeting you . victoria : there you go . one family member down and two dozen to go . [ chuckling ] i 'm kidding . travis : do n't forget i met nick already . i wonder who hates me more -- him or summer . victoria : oh , come on . do n't worry about summer . this had nothing to do with you . she 's just giving me a hard time because i gave her a hard time about luca and that 's all . travis : so you all just go around judging each other 's love interests ? victoria : uh , it 's not really judging . it 's just , i do n't know , it 's being cautious , i guess . travis : it 's judging . [ cellphone rings ] victoria : ay , yi , yi . it 's , uh , the office . i have to get back to work . travis : no worries . i can try an overpriced beer another time . so i 'll see you later ? victoria : no . you 'll see me now . you 're coming with me to newman tower . come on . this day is not over yet . nick : i come bearing gifts . this was delivered to my place . i 'm assuming it 's clothes for faith 's doll . just in time for summer , too . mariah : [ chuckles ] cute . super cute . i actually think that doll has more clothes than i do . sharon : uh , thanks for bringing it by , nick . mariah : so , uh , how are things ? life and such . nick : uh , life and such is moving pretty quickly . you know , can we just make a rule now that faith is never allowed to date ? sharon : i do n't think it 'll stick . mariah : are you talking about luca ? because that guy is really a tool . you 'd think even snowflake would catch on . nick : yeah , i do n't know . phyllis and i have a new plan , though . we 're gon na try and kill him with kindness . mariah : that sounds miserable for everyone involved , but good luck with that . nick : well , it 's all we 've got for now . it 's just too bad we ca n't keep them little forever , you know ? right , little guy ? keep them little forever . and they never have to move out and leave us behind . sage : i look into his eyes , and i think -- and it 's just crazy , you know ? i mean , it 's been so obvious . how did i not know ... adam : chelsea , baby , you tell me at least twice a week that i 'm nothing like my father . chelsea : yeah , and then you say things like , `` ian ward might get shot . these things happen . `` adam : well , you know what ? he 's a big boy , all right ? he can take care of himself . my job is not to take care of him . it 's to take care of you and connor . and the best way for me to do that is to be here , so if this is the way it 's got to be , then , you know , it 's the way it 's got to be . chelsea : you 're right . you totally do n't sound anything like your father . not at all . [ knock on door ] dylan , please tell us you have some good news . dylan : well , i am following up on a lead that could prove adam was framed . adam : really ? what lead ? dylan : does the name frank ellis mean anything to you ? adam : yeah , uh , right . that 's -- that 's the , uh , the forger that jack and i used to set up victor . dylan : right . paul and i were thinking that victor might have thought it was poetic justice to hire him to return the favor . adam : that 's smart , but i 'm way ahead of you . chelsea : what do you mean ? adam : well , i thought the same thing awhile back . it took me a bit , but i tracked him down . dylan : where 'd you find him ? we need to talk to this guy . adam : found him in a coffin . yeah , so he 's dead . you got any other leads that are a little more , you know , maybe alive ? dylan : that was the best lead . i mean , we 're gon na look into the other forgers , but everything 's pretty much a dead end . chelsea : i mean , there 's got to be something else , right ? something solid ? dylan : for your sake , i hope so . but the reality is ... this is when you might want to start considering a plea . victoria : so , this is it . uh , well , this is my office . travis : wow . you ever think about switching this out , maybe dogs playing poker or something ? victoria : oh , yeah , i sure do . on a daily basis , actually . but , you know , this is the safest way to meet my father . he ca n't give you his death stare or say anything brutal to you . travis : because he would n't approve of me . victoria : do n't worry . he does n't approve of anyone . travis : hmm . it sounds like a lovely guy . wish i could meet him . it 's too bad he 's , you know , incarcerated . victoria : it 's been difficult , but i know deep down he loves us all . [ sighs ] i sure have learned a lot from him . travis : like how to pass the buck ? victoria : what ? travis : `` for immediate release -- the investigation into the recent accident on an oil rig owned and operated by newman energy is now refocused on faulty parts installed by a third party contractor . `` victoria : it 's the first draft . confidential first draft . travis : it 's also a lie . summer : are we terrible for not being in the office ? luca : we have the boss 's blessing . summer : [ chuckles ] so , what do you think of victoria 's new friend ? luca : hmm , he 's a bit rough around the edges , but she seems to like him . summer : yeah . she seems a little , i do n't know , standoffish and defensive . luca : it 's in the early stages . victoria might lose interest sooner than you think . summer : yeah , i hope so . a rebound is not the answer . just , there 's something about that guy . luca : hey . did you come back to town to worry about victoria 's boyfriend or your own ? summer : [ chuckles ] okay , you are right . you 're right . i 'm sorry . i missed you . a lot . i think maybe it was a good thing being away . made me realize what an important part of my life you are . and , hey , i mean , how amazing is it that you and my dad can now be in the same room together ? maybe he just needed to realize that we are for real and we have a commitment together . maybe it 'll rub off on my mom . who knows . luca : [ sighs ] it wo n't . summer : why ? you do n't know that . luca : summer ... do you ever wonder why your brother daniel called you out of the blue for a visit ? your mom arranged it to get you out of town and away from me . nick : so , he 's a kicker , huh ? did you know that when you were pregnant with him , that he 'd a soccer player ? yeah , i know . could we get him out of his cage ? mariah : um , actually , he needs to go upstairs for his nap 'cause he 's getting really sleepy . yes , he is . nick : oh , yeah . sure . sharon : [ sighs ] she 's so attentive and helpful with him . nick : yeah , sully really hit it big in the big - sister department , huh ? sharon : he 's lucky . nick : yeah . are you okay ? yeah , you look tired . i mean , i know women do n't like to hear that . it 's just ... sharon : um , just late nights , you know . sully 's teething . it 'll pass . nick : is that the only thing that 's keeping you up ? sage : will you promise me you 'll tell nick that it 's his baby ? nick : ooh . sharon , are you okay ? look , if you need to tell me anything , you know you can trust [ missing portion ] | sage appeared in sharon 's dreams , and she blasted sharon for not giving christian to nick . dylan overheard sharon apologizing to sage in her sleep . after some pressure from chelsea , adam admitted he 'd agreed to help ian escape in exchange for ian 's testimony at his trial . chelsea hated the plan . dylan suspected that victor used the same forger to frame adam that adam and jack used to frame victor . dylan took his theory to adam and chelsea . adam had already considered that angle and discovered that the forger he and jack used was dead . dylan advised adam to consider taking a plea . adam and chelsea were dead set against the suggestion . after dylan left , chelsea agreed to support adam and ian 's plan , since she did n't want to lose adam . luca showed nick the file he 'd put together on travis 's wall street past . summer returned from georgia , and she was taken aback to see luca and nick with their heads together . she grew suspicious when she saw nick hide the file . nick said it was just business . later , luca told summer that he 'd lose the chance to earn nick 's loyalty if he told her what nick was keeping from her . |
mariah : so , that assignment you gave me -- the lawsuit filed against brash & sassy ! - i did some digging . hilary : and ? mariah : there 's been a filing at the courthouse but no names or allegations yet . hilary : okay . well , keep at it . mariah : i did . hilary : oh . mariah : i have a source . hilary : who ? mariah : well , you may know him . devon . i also know the parties involved -- cane and juliet . hilary : really ? wow . mariah : you knew all about this . i also know you 're the one who advised juliet on what lawyer to hire . you were n't counting on me digging up that little nugget , were you ? lily : hilary is helping juliet ? why am i not surprised ? what woman loves messing with me . neil : you know , i thought you 'd be a lot angrier than this . lily : well , it 's because i know something hilary does n't . juliet is dropping the lawsuit . according to cane , it 's over . victoria : michael would have called if juliet dropped the case . cane : okay . do n't worry . he 's gon na call soon . it 's gon na be official . billy : why are you so positive that juliet changed her mind ? cane : because i went last night and saw her . we hashed the whole thing out . billy : what ? ! victoria : that is the worst possible thing you could have done ! cane : [ sighs ] sharon : scott ? scott : hey . coffee 's on , juice is poured , and , uh , frittata 's in the oven . ashley : no last - minute bon - voyage call from dina ? jack : no . it appears our mother will be staying on in genoa city . ashley : yeah , at the athletic club , i hear . jack : because she has no interest in staying in the family home . ashley : no , she has no interest in leaving graham behind at the hotel . obviously , she 's trying to keep him happy . devon : so , you 're not flying back to paris ? dina : well , i 'm so enjoying my time here with the family that , uh , i see no harm in staying a bit longer . graham : you do n't seem pleased . devon : oh , no . i 'm -- i 'm -- i 'm just surprised . graham : perhaps your new partner is concerned this might alter things . dina : i do n't like the word `` partner . `` devon and neil have bought the company . i merely retain a seat on the board . that 's it , devon . we should make full use of graham . i 'd hate to see his skills go to waste . scott : i forgot about the eggs . sharon : we 'll make more . lily : so , after cane spoke to juliet and he was telling her -- neil : whoa . wait . cane saw her alone ? lily : yeah , i know . victoria and michael wo n't be happy . neil : nor should they , lily . lily : look , i had the same reaction when he first told me , but it worked . he told her that she 's punishing him , me , our family , when , really , it 's the company that she resents . i know it was risky , but , somehow , he got through to her . neil : are you sure ? lily : yeah . cane is confident it 's only a matter of time before the lawsuit is dropped and this is all over . victoria : i told you to stay away from her , and you ignored me , on top of the news that i just got . cane : wait . what news do you have ? victoria : from michael . it came out in the judge 's chambers that you almost blew the deal in tokyo and juliet had to come to your rescue . billy : are you gon na deny that , too ? victoria : you kept us from it , cane . and then you went to see juliet . how am i supposed to trust you ? cane : i am sorry for what happened in tokyo , okay ? it was wrong . but i ca n't change it . i ca n't make up for it . all i can do is just apologize to you and promise you that it will not happen again . that 's all i can do . billy : cane , it already has . victoria : direct order . cane : i had to go to her and try to shut this down . that 's what i had to do . victoria : that 's why we 're paying an attorney . cane : but he has n't managed to stop it , has he ? so i went to her , and it worked , 'cause i told her that i understand why she 's angry and she has every right 'cause of the way she was treated , okay ? but she ca n't accuse me of sexual harassment when it did n't happen , and she agreed . billy : okay . so , hold on a second . what if she 's just saying exactly what you want to hear ? cane : no . no . she called leslie before i left the room . billy : where 's leslie ? and why are we hearing this from you and not juliet 's lawyer or ours ? lauren : have i told you lately how much i love our breakfast conversations ? michael : i 'm sorry . lauren : mmm . michael : just drowning in legalese here . lauren : i understand , believe me . michael : just like i understand why you keep checking your phone . lauren : well , now it 's because -- michael : it 's scott . you 're worried about him . lauren : he did n't come home last night . michael : sweetheart , when your son is a grown man , he may have other places to stay every now and then . lauren : i understand that , but sharon ? really ? michael : why not sharon ? lauren : have you forgotten ... about christian ? that woman essentially stole a child . michael : we both know why you 're zeroing in on this . what happened with scott and sheila has nothing to do with this . juliet : tell your client i do n't want any more surprise visits . michael : why would victoria -- juliet : cane stopped by my room last night . you know how that 's going to look in court , right ? ashley : dina and graham both have suites at the gcac . clearly , she does n't want him to leave her side . that tells us exactly how he rates with her . jack : i have yet to get a real answer from dina about this guy or from anything you 've told me . one thing we do know -- he ca n't be too thrilled that dina 's decided not to go back to paris just yet . ashley : and yet he 's not happy just having her to himself at the hotel . he wants an ocean between her and her children . why ? jack : i hope you are not planning another confrontation . ashley : no . are you kidding ? that did not go very well . i 'm gon na have to find a new approach if i 'm gon na figure this guy out -- what he wants with our mother . devon : dina , if you do n't mind me asking , what talents of graham 's , uh , would you hope to see me use ? dina : well , personally , i find graham to be an invaluable adviser , and i feel quite certain we 'll be able to find a proper place for him within the company . devon : right . well , that 's something that i would have to run by neil , of course . dina : well , of course ! of course ! graham : devon , let me reassure you ... dina has more than enough personal business to keep her busy here in genoa city . she 'll be giving you and your father all the space you need to run the company as you see fit . our only goal is to be supportive . devon : well , that 's -- that 's great to hear , and my goal is to manage all the tools that i have at my disposal to make this venture a success . dina : oh , devon reminds me so much of my granddaughter abby -- all that wonderful drive and special enthusiasm and purpose . devon : i 've always admired abby . she 's a great friend of mine . dina : i remember . devon : and you know what ? i 'm sure she 's thrilled that you 're staying in town . if you 'll excuse me , i 'm ready to take off . graham : sure . dina : well , young man , do talk to neil and keep us posted how things are shaping up with my -- with your -- company . devon : of course . okay . graham : i 'll make sure he follows through . we need to protect your interests . you seem distracted . are you thinking about your talk with jack last night ? dina : i hurt him by not accepting his offer to stay at the house . graham : well , you hardly need me to point this out , but you 're in much better hands with me . dina : i know . [ clears throat ] i really feel i should go see jack and clear the air . graham : just ... do n't let him talk you into anything . dina : i wo n't . hilary : juliet asked me for a recommendation , so i gave her one . mariah : and then you had me dig into the lawsuit , knowing exactly what i would find . hilary : why would i -- mariah : so no one could accuse you of having a stake in this . hilary : the only stake in this is news for my show . and when everything that cane did comes out in court -- oh , news . mariah : nobody has proven that cane did anything . hilary : you know what ? i think you 're a little too emotionally invested . i 'm taking you off the story . i 'll take it from here . mariah : [ chuckles softly ] do you really think that cane cheated on lily and then used his position at brash & sassy ! to get what he wanted from juliet ? hilary : it does n't really matter what i believe . if it 's news , we cover it . and when this lands in court , oh , you are gon na be so sorry that i am the one on the national news feed and not you . mm . mariah : [ softly ] lily . lily : mariah . hey . what 's up ? mariah : you did n't hear it from me , but , um , watch your back . lily : [ scoffs ] okay . that 's cryptic . why are you whispering ? mariah : i 'm at work . you know what juliet 's claiming , right ? lily : how did you find out ? mariah : the news is n't public yet , but that may soon change , and the coverage may not exactly be ... objective . lily : hilary ? mariah : who else ? lily : [ sighs ] thanks for the heads up . damn it . how did i not see this coming ? cane : all right , look -- we 're gon na hear from leslie soon , but , in the meantime , here -- would you like the honor of calling michael and telling him the case is dead ? billy : no , 'cause we do n't know that that 's gon na happen , and michael should be the one telling us that . victoria : i 'll see what he says . michael : no , leslie . emotions are running high , but i 'm not gon na let you blow this out of proportion . now , listen -- hello ? you went to juliet 's hotel , alone ? cane : [ sighs ] victoria : what did leslie say ? michael : what do you think she said ? you just handed her a huge present -- a winning case all wrapped up in a nice , shiny bow . sharon : that was amazing . scott : it 's just eggs . sharon : but you cooked . scott : well , you impress easily . sharon : i assure you that i do not , but this morning i have been impressed by many things . [ cell phone chimes ] scott : from victor . `` where are you ? `` sounds like he does n't appreciate my playing hooky . sharon : ooh , shocker . scott : `` having ... breakfast ... with a ... major rainmaker . sorry . ca n't talk . hit you later . `` send . sharon : ticking off victor newman -- risky . scott : it 's worth it . come here . sharon : so , what else do you cook ? scott : uh , this is pretty much it . sharon : hmm . scott : what ? sharon : i get this is your go - to morning - after menu , is n't it ? scott : uh , some more coffee ? sharon : oh , admit it . i 'm not the first woman you 've cooked this up for . scott : on occasion , perhaps . but ... this is the first time that i 've ever really put my heart into it . michael : you handed juliet 's lawyer a lethal weapon . leslie is gon na paint that visit as a back - channel attempt to pressure juliet into dropping the suit ! cane : that 's not what happened . all i did was go there and appeal to her conscience . billy : no , what you did is turn this from a crisis into an all - out disaster . cane : when i left there last night , juliet was prepared to forget about all this . i do n't know what happened . maybe leslie saw these billable hours evaporate so she decided to double down . billy : you 're gon na blame the lawyer ? that 's not a good idea . victoria : okay , look -- enough . you compromised us by going out on your own , and i am furious right now . but we need solutions , not arguments . i think we should revisit your idea about expediting the discovery phase . cane : wait . what does that mean ? michael : in a civil suit , before the trial begins , all potential witnesses are questioned under oath before the judge is present . cane : you mean depositions ? michael : it 's a chance for all sides to learn what evidence the other side has . cane : well , how is that gon na help us ? victoria : it could expose just how little leslie has to work with . michael : or maybe help convince juliet that her best bet is to settle privately or perhaps even drop the case completely . victoria : michael can grill juliet and make her back up her so - called claims . cane : that means i have to testify , too , right ? victoria : that 's right , especially since you 're the only one who can refute what juliet is claiming . michael : it 's your chance to prove she lied on the record . hilary : lily . lily : i have had it with you . you have officially gone too far . hilary : have n't we had this argument already ? lily : it is one thing to nudge juliet towards filing a lawsuit , but if you go on air with baseless claims about cane , you 'll be the one getting sued . hilary : if cane is innocent ... lily : `` if `` ? hilary : ... then you will have nothing to worry about . if he 's not , then you 'll have bigger problems than me -- a shaky marriage , a shiny new spokesmodel career on the line . ohh . lily : see , you think everyone is as shallow and vapid as you are . i 'm not even thinking about my job . but all of this will be gone after our slander suit . hilary : [ scoffs ] it ai n't slander if it 's true . lily : it 's not true , and you know that . hilary : really ? i mean , you 're not even a little bit suspicious ? because i would think that cane would be entitled to a little something on the side , especially since you cheated on the man . lily : are you that determined to lash out at me that you would drag my family through hell with these lies ? have you even thought about charlie and mattie ? hilary : maybe your husband should have thought about his family before he instructed juliet on how to `` get ahead `` in her career . lily : you are disgusting . hilary : it 's not my problem that you do n't know how to keep your husband satisfied . lily : did you really just say that to me ? ! did you really just say that to me ? ! jordan : how many times do i have to wrestle you two ? hilary : keep that crazy girl away from me . lily : fine . jordan : dang . jack : i was n't expecting you , mother . dina : well , i guess i should have called first . jack : no , you 're always welcome here . i am a little surprised to see you , though . dina : well , i was concerned about the way we left things . jack : you mean when you decided to stay at the hotel suite rather than at home with your family ? dina : well , i hope you understand how much it meant to me -- that invitation . jack : apparently not enough for you to accept my invitation . dina : well , i - i - i think it 's the best decision . jack : you think or graham thinks ? dina : why does it always have to be about graham ? jack : i do n't know , mother . you tell me . dina : it 's not about him . jack : no ? dina : no . jack : then why do i get the feeling that you are not comfortable unless he is constantly at your side ? dina : i depend on him . jack : yes , you 've said as much . and you prefer that to depending on your children . dina : i have no experience depending on my children , just as my children have no experience depending on me . jack : w -- i - is that what this is about ? this is why you ca n't come home ? is it the memories ? dina : memories ? [ voice breaking ] what memories , son ? that house reminds me of all the special moments i could have had and i did n't . and there 's no one to blame ... but me . scott : the next time you think i 've run out on you , you know ... think about it . sharon : i will , because i know better . scott : because i fed you ? sharon : because that 's not the kind of person you are . you know , from the moment we started talking at crimson lights , when you decided to help a poor student who was freaking out over a paper she had to write , there was nothing in it for you , but you decided to help . scott : well , turns out there was something in it for me , after all . sharon : [ chuckles softly ] when dylan left , it was -- it was just very sudden , so it was hard for me to imagine what would be next for me . it was actually easily to think that nothing would ever happen . and then you snuck up on me . scott : like you do with me . i just meant to come home and recuperate for a few weeks and then get back out there , cover more stories , but ... you gave me a good reason to stick around . i 'll call you . sharon : [ chuckles ] scott : bye . jordan : lily , hang on one second . you still think hilary pushed juliet into filing the lawsuit ? lily : ask her if she got a finder 's fee for supplying juliet with a lawyer . jordan : are you kidding ? lily : no . she 'll put a spin on that . she 's great at that . oh , and , by the way , i 'm sorry that you wo n't get a chance at destroying my family . juliet 's dropping the case . cane did n't do any of the things that you 're accusing him of . and , by the way , our marriage is still strong . jordan : is that true ? hilary : about me helping juliet ? okay , please . it 's hardly some conspiracy . the woman asked for a recommendation , and i gave her one . what 's the crime in that ? jordan : and you get a jump on the juicy story . hilary : well , according to lily , it 's a non - story . jordan : that you would have exploited . hilary : i 'm a reporter , okay ? and a case with brash & sassy ! ? what , do you want me to just not do my job ? jordan : depends on how well you do it . hilary : now you 're not making any sense . jordan : no ? hilary : no . jordan : let 's see if i got this right . juliet gets fired , and then , suddenly , she starts talking a lawsuit after you came along , conveniently hooking her up with a lawyer , and then when this thing hits , you get the exclusive . hilary : that is not what happened , okay ? jordan : i 'm pretty sure that 's exactly what happened . you 're hurting billy . you 're hurting victoria . hell , i work for brash & sassy ! you 're hurting me , too . and all for what -- to get some boost in your ratings ? [ sighs ] i hope you 're happy with yourself . [ sighs ] hilary : jordan , stop . billy : could this be a mistake , rushing in to something like a deposition ? victoria : [ sighs ] maybe . michael : with this thing potentially going public , we 're on a ticking clock here . victoria : well , we need to come up with as much ammunition as we can before that happens . michael , has your investigator been able to turn up anything on juliet ? michael : unfortunately , no . juliet is completely clean . her prior consulting clients ca n't say enough good things about her . she 's never made any accusations of this nature or had any ethical breaches . billy : until now . michael : she graduated top of her class . she never got in trouble in college . cane : what about personal problems -- you know , ex - boyfriend , stuff like that ? michael : if you 're hoping she turns out to be a stalker , forget it . there 's nothing like that . victoria : social media ? michael : no drunken photos , no embarrassing posts . [ laughing ] to be honest , she would make a phenomenal witness , especially if this ends up in front of a jury . billy : and what do we got ? the ultimate bad boy . i mean , she 's gon na look like a saint when they start picking apart your past . cane : yeah , well , lucky she 's not accusing you . it would be a lot worse , would n't it ? billy : as opposed to what we 're in right now ? victoria : stop , right now . i am trying my hardest to keep this company solvent , and it 's hard enough to do with you two sniping at each other . michael : if we 're moving up discovery , the two of us need to carve out some time to prepare . we do n't want leslie to catch us with our pants down , figuratively , of course . cane : i am sorry . talking to juliet 's made this worse , and i am -- i 'm sorry . michael , i will -- i will sit down with you and i 'll prep whatever you need from me , but right now , i just -- i need to go and talk to lily and tell her this case is back on . excuse me . [ exhales sharply ] dina : why do you keep thinking there 's a competition between you and graham ? jack : gee . i wonder why , mother . dina : well , there 's not . jack : there 's not ? dina : no . jack : if you believe that , you are in denial . that man is competing for your attention and your affection , and right now , he 's winning . dina : [ chuckling ] oh , i did n't know that i had to make a choice between my son and that man who -- jack : that man who what ? go ahead . finish that . dina : well , it was n't easy . it -- [ sighs ] it was a tough decision to sell the company , and not knowing whether it was the right time or not -- jack : so , graham talked you into that decision ? dina : no , he did n't . he listened and he helped me sort out the realities . jack : what realities ? dina : darling , i am a woman in my 70s , and there are certain facts that go along with that . jack : oh , mother , do n't be morbid . dina : i 'm not being morbid . my sell - by date is a long way off . jack : well , i am counting on that . dina : well , that 's something , darling , i ca n't control . but there 's no reason to worry . jack : yeah . i 'm wondering about that . dina : i was hoping my decision to stay would be a positive one for you . jack : well , you kept repeatedly insisting on going back to paris . dina : well ... i changed my mind . it 's a woman 's prerogative . jack : or is it possible graham agreed to let you change your mind ? dina : graham will do anything that will make me happy , and my spending time with my children and my granddaughter makes me very happy right now . ashley : i 'm not going to belabor this . i 'm not sure what i think i 'm gon na accomplish in this encounter , but now that my mother 's gon na be here a while , i do think there are things that need to be said . graham : um ... should i make this a double vodka ? ashley : you 're always so charming . graham : [ scoffs ] while you are always so ... ashley : not ? graham : [ chuckles softly ] ashley : okay . i guess it 's up to me to somehow rectify our recent animosity and put it behind us , so ... i am sorry , graham , again . graham : that 's what you said ? thank you for translating . ashley : honestly , i never anticipated feeling protective over dina , after everything she 's done to me and my siblings , but she is still my mother , and it makes me uneasy knowing nothing about her constant companion and what you want with her . graham : so , you assumed ? younger man , older woman ... ashley : i do n't care about that , really . that 's your business . i do seem to care about her welfare , however . i would just like to have some kind of peace with the one man who has more access to my mother than anybody , or at least coexist . graham : i mean , i 'm grateful you tried ... even if your heart was n't in it . uh ... stay for a coffee , anyway . [ door closes ] mariah : so , let me guess -- scott went home early and you stayed up all night with the books . sharon : we had a very lovely evening . mariah : [ gasps ] do i detect a certain glow about you ? sharon : he makes me very happy . mariah : good . you deserve that . sharon : and he cooked for me . mariah : edible ? sharon : 5-star . mariah : wow . maybe he really is a keeper . sharon : you know , scott is very different than the other men that i 've been involved with . he 's not rescuing me or protecting me or ... [ sighs ] mariah : he 's wooing you . sharon : and i 'm really falling for him . scott : hi , mom . lauren : hey ! you 're home early . how are things going with victor ? scott : oh , fine . lauren : you know , scott [ sighs ] we never get a chance to catch up anymore , about all sorts of things . scott : that may be a record . lauren : what do you mean ? scott : `` all sorts of things . `` that 's code for `` sharon . `` you want to know where things stand , do n't you ? lauren : you know , honey , you do n't answer to me . date who you want to date . scott : gee . thanks . lauren : just know what you 're getting into . scott : you mean ... do i know that sharon has a past or a history ? i think everyone in this town does . lauren : well , sharon 's particular history is unique . scott : she filled me in on how she discovered that her baby was n't her biological child and that she had a really difficult time giving him up . lauren : [ chuckles ] wow . that 's a very interesting interpretation of what happened . scott : i mean , what 's more fair -- judging sharon on her past or who she is now ? i mean , because who she is now is pretty great , and do n't forget that i have a history of my own , dark places of my own , which sharon accepts ... and likes . lauren : you never -- scott : when i wanted to leave genoa city , you were extremely vocal about me making a life here . so , now that i 'm doing that , you just got to give me some space so i can live it . lauren : but , honey ... you 're right . i - i apologize ... for , uh ... scott : being a mom ? lauren : yeah . scott : come here . lauren : [ chuckles ] just promise me -- promise you 're gon na keep your eyes open . scott : wide open . trust me . ashley : so , how would you feel , graham , if your mother was taking advice and relying on what we perceive to be a total stranger instead of her own family ? graham : well , at least you can see that i have a mother ... ashley : [ chuckles ] graham : ... even if it is wrapped in your usual assumptions about how i control dina 's life . ashley : do n't you ? graham : anyone who knows dina knows that she does n't allow herself to be controlled by anyone . [ chuckles ] you 're not saying it , but you 're thinking , `` unless that person is dina 's lover . `` believe me or do n't . that 's not our relationship . i love your mother , but not in the way you 're presuming . ashley : okay . well , i guess i 'll just have to take your word for that . you know , this whole thing was a lot easier when i was just angry at dina . anger is easy . looking out for my mother 's best interests after everything that 's happened -- let 's just put it this way . i never thought i 'd be wrestling with this issue a year ago . graham : [ chuckles softly ] ashley : and yet i find myself caring about her ... even though i keep seeing that cartoon playing over and over and over again in my head -- you know , the one where the little kid takes the football away right when the other little kid is about to kick it ? i feel like i 'm just setting myself up for disappointment all over again . you think i sound ridiculous . graham : no , no . ashley : yes , you do . graham : no , not at all . fear of disappointment , that 's -- that 's natural . michael : so far , juliet is the only name on leslie 's witness list . that means it 's her word against all of yours . victoria : okay . so , one person against a united team . billy : and i 'm all for that . but should we be rushing in to this ? michael : i think we should get to juliet 's testimony before leslie has a chance to coach her too much . if i can tap in to her emotions , maybe her story will fall apart . billy : is there a chance we 're underestimating juliet and leslie ? victoria : you 're being very cautious . you usually like to dive right in . billy : yeah . i do n't want to dive right in and suddenly find our heads under water . michael : it 's up to you , victoria . whatever you decide , cane 's testimony will be critical . billy : so , all of this hangs on ashby ? michael : pretty much . but i need a decision . do we move on this and , with any luck , blow juliet 's claim out of the water , or do we wait and take our chances ? cane : can i get a soda water , please ? devon : hey , cane . cane : hey . devon : how you doing , man ? i heard about the , uh -- the lawsuit . cane : how did you find out about the lawsuit ? devon : neil told me about it . but i want to hear that you squashed it . cane : well , i thought i had , and i told lily i had , but , uh , apparently , it 's back on . devon : wow . well , that 's quite the accusation . cane : [ chuckles softly ] anyone who knows me knows i would n't use my position to try to get a woman into bed . devon : yeah . i 'd , uh -- i 'd be pretty upset if i were you . cane : i 'm not upset , devon . i 'm terrified , 'cause i do n't know how this is gon na play out , and i do n't know if the truth is even gon na matter . devon : well , the good news is that word has n't spread . but my advice before it does is you be completely straight with my sister . cane : i already have been . devon : i mean , like , 100 % honest with her , 'cause if there 's one thing that can come out in that trial that she does n't know about , i really think it 's best if she hears it from you . okay ? i got to take off , but good luck with everything . cane : thanks . come on ... jack : you say you 're happy here now . what does that mean ? is this all temporary ? dina : son , i never said i 'd stay here permanently . jack : so , what -- do you have an agenda ? you and graham have decided how much time you 're gon na allot to your family before he whisks you off again ? dina : no one tells me where i go and when -- not you , not your sisters , and certainly not graham . jack : i did n't mean to upset you , and i 'm very glad you decided to stay . dina : i just do n't know how many opportunities i still have in this lifetime . i just think it 's time for me to be around the people that i love . jack : and that includes graham . dina : graham has meant more to me than you can possibly understand . i just do n't know how to put it into words . graham : i 'm glad we talked . ashley : yeah . honestly is n't always easy , but it does pay off . graham : of course , that honesty is a one - way street , is n't it ? i mean , you and your brother only see me in the context of your mother . it 's as if you feel time began for me the day i met dina and it 'll end once we 're no longer in each other 's lives . ashley : well , is that how you feel ? graham : nothing could be further from reality . i had a full life before dina entered it , filled with the usual successes and failures and hurt , not unlike the hurt you keep talking about . not that you 'd be interested . ashley : who says i 'm not interested ? juliet : can we talk ? hilary : uh , yeah . here . come with me . what -- what do you need ? juliet : i just came from a meeting with leslie . she is concerned with me being her only witness during depositions . i thought you would make a good character witness . hilary : me ? testify for you ? juliet , i - i hardly know you . juliet : but we 've talked . hilary : briefly . juliet : do i need to remind you about everything you know and how you learned it ? you were the only one i told about what happened with cane before i was fired . hilary : okay , you ca n't -- you ca n't ask me to do this . juliet : there 's no one else . without you , it 's just he said / she said . hilary : well , you 're gon na need to figure something else out . i 'm sorry , okay ? but i ca n't help you any more than i have . juliet : you were the one who pushed me to do this in the first place . hilary : i am rooting for you . trust me . but from this point on , you 're on your own , sweetie . michael : shall i start prepping cane to testify ? victoria : usually my instinct would be to proceed slowly , but not in a case like this . we 're being attacked -- that 's the bottom line -- and we have to defend ourselves . how long before this leaks out and spreads all over on social media ? it 's gon na be detrimental to brash & sassy ! , so we need to -- we need to fight . we need to not wait , and we need to start the discovery process and expose juliet for the liar that she is . lily : jordan . hey . jordan : look , i came to apologize for what hilary 's been putting you through . lily : come on in . why would you owe me an apology ? jordan : i should have listened to the warnings you gave me about her . we 've had a great time , but here lately , i 've seen a side of her that -- that kind of scares me . lily : yeah , she scares me , too , although i would n't tell her that . i just really believed that when she and devon got divorced , we 'd be done with her , but it was n't enough for her to wreck my father and my brother 's life . now she 's coming after me , too , and using cane to do it . [ sighs ] it 's a nightmare . jordan : you 're -- you 're gon na be okay , lily . lily : it just -- it hurts , you know , all of these ugly , unfounded allegations against cane . jordan : you believe in cane . you two have a great marriage . you 'll -- you 'll be okay . [ sighs ] hey , it 's gon na be okay . lily : yeah , but do you believe that ? jordan : yes . lily : really ? jordan : yes , i do . come here . [ next_on ] ashley ( to graham ) : i think we 've made enough wrong assumptions about each other . what do you say about starting over ? phyllis ( to billy ) : victoria 's emotional well - being -- that 's not your problem . victoria ( to michael ) : i just wish i was as confident now as i was going into this . cane ( to lily ) : you 're lucky you have such a good friend . | lily was n't surprised when neil revealed that hilary was helping juliet . lily told neil that cane got juliet to drop the lawsuit . mariah confronted hilary about her involvement in juliet 's lawsuit . hilary decided to take mariah off the story and cover it herself . mariah warned lily that hilary might take the story public . lily threatened to sue hilary for slander . they argued , and jordan prevented lily from physically attacking hilary . lily told jordan that hilary pushed juliet to file the lawsuit . hilary insisted that she only recommended a lawyer to juliet . jordan accused hilary of engineering the lawsuit so she could get an exclusive story , and he stormed off . scott spent the night at sharon 's place and surprised her by making breakfast . scott blew off victor in order to spend more time with sharon . sharon told mariah that she was falling for scott . billy and victoria were angry when cane informed them that he 'd met with juliet . victoria wondered if she could trust cane , because he ignored her instructions and failed to disclose that he almost blew the tokyo deal . lauren shared her concerns about sharon and scott with michael . juliet interrupted michael and lauren 's breakfast and told him about cane 's surprise visit . michael made an unsuccessful attempt to convince leslie that cane 's visit with juliet was n't a big deal . michael told cane that he 'd damaged their case . michael proposed having the judge to interview cane and juliet under oath before the trial , in order to expose weaknesses in juliet 's case . victoria gave michael the go ahead . lauren tried to use sharon 's actions with christian to dissuade scott from dating her . scott revealed that sharon already told him . he 'd decided to judge sharon on the present , not the past . scott asked lauren to let him make his own choices , and she apologized . |

s ? brittany : recently . today , actually . lauren : well , i 'm sorry . i really enjoyed having you on the staff . brittany : yeah , well , i 've enjoyed being here , and i think you 've been a great boss . it 's just time to move on . lauren : all right , wait a minute . where is this all coming from ? i mean , i know you 're having personal issues , but -- i mean , is that what this is about ? brittany : that 's part of it . lauren : and what 's the other part ? brittany : i just do n't want to be here anymore . things are n't the way they used to be . you know , when i was an internet star ?

paul : you know , chris , driving back here , i remembered what you said about wanting to kill her with your bare hands . chris : and you could suddenly empathize ? paul : when i think about what was taken from us ... and what was stolen ... paul : and she has the audacity to say that i have n't given the idea of divorcing her enough thought . chris : i know . isabella has an amazing capacity for casting herself as the innocent victim . paul : she thinks she 's done absolutely nothing wrong . she thinks i 'm the one that ca n't think straight . she has the gall to suggest that we all should continue our move to los angeles . chris : well , `` all `` including me ? how gracious of her . judging by the look on your face , my name came up ? paul : do n't even go there , chris . chris : what is she afraid of , my evil influence ? paul : yeah , on ricky . she 's deluded . chris : oh , my god . what -- is that why she has n't brought your son back , because of me ? mary : you 're frightened of christine ? oh , i find that very hard to believe . isabella : well , it 's the truth . the woman is out of control . she had this wild look in her eye , and for a moment , i actually thought she might kill me . mary : well , i bet you get a lot of that . isabella : you know , go ahead and make jokes , mary . i am terrified . mary : so why are you telling me this ? surely you do n't expect me to intervene on your behalf . isabella : would you ? mary : oh , oh , isabella , you 've played me for a fool more than once , never again , and as for christine posing any real threat , the idea is ludicrous , though i 've been tempted to throttle you myself a time or two . isabella : so you wo n't help me . mary : oh , just tell me when ricky 's coming home . isabella : i told you , when i feel like it 's safe , not a moment sooner . mary : oh , god , you are a stupid , selfish , evil woman . what paul ever saw in you , i 'll never know . isabella : you know what , mary ? i think it 's time for you to go . mary : this is n't over , isabella . you 'll pay for this . you hear me ? if it 's the last thing i ever do , i 'll make you pay . you 're looking live at edmonton from our skytracker atop manulife place . good afternoon . i 'm lesley macdonald . coming up at 5 : 30 ... tobacco makers are disputing claims they mislead the public with light and mild cigarette packaging . and edmonton 's gay community celebrates a landmark week . plus canadian born actor hume cronyn has passed away . and baby boomers are being warned to keep fit and stay healthy if they wt t to avoid getting arthritis . we 'll explain ... ... ahead on i 'm shooting high got my eye brittany : why are you getting so upset ?

brittany : i know you did . lauren : and you know that little month that you decided to disappear ? anyone else would have fired you in two seconds , but i kept your job open , and now right when i 'm about to launch the new summer campaign , you bail on me . well , you 're damn right , it 's a big deal . brittany : look , i 'm sorry . lauren : just consider this conversation your two weeks notice . brittany : i do n't think i can give you that . lauren : excuse me ?

paul : threatening ? i do n't know that she was teaeatening . she was -- she was calm , maybe she was too calm . chris : something tells me she 's talked to a lawyer . paul : great . so what 's the worst case scenario ? chris : in terms of ... paul : well , was isabella right ? i mean , can she keep me tied to her indefinitely ? chris : not forever . if you want a divorce , you will get one . paul : so , still , you 're telling me that i 'll have to wait just short of forever to be rid of her , is that it ? chris : i 'm telling you if she has a clever enough lawyer , and she contests this vigorously enough , it 'll take some time . paul : oh , how much time ? chris : months , a year , longer ... paul : oh , chr -- chris : but first , there will be a hearing to prove to the judge that the marriage is irreconcilable . her lawyer will fight it even though he knows they 'll lose . he 'll go after continuances , he 'll take his own sweet time responding to your side , and once the hearing 's over , it will go to trial . paul : right , and there 'll be more delays . chris : yeah , because they 'll have a hard time coordinating it with the judge 's schedule , and then their witnesses will have their conflicts . of course , most of them turn out to be bogus , but the trial will be postponed over and over again , and then , you 're gon na have to come up with your own witnesses , not to mention -- paul : what ? chris : the settlement -- how much you are willing to pay for your freedom . paul : well , how much could she get ? chris : how high can you count ? paul : oh , come on , chris , i 'd fight it . chris : right , creating more delays . that 's exactly what isabella 's lawyer wants , and that 's presuming they do n't cause additional problems with the custody arrangements . paul : oh , stop it , will you ? i do n't even want to think about this anymore . chris : i know it 's not pretty . paul : so there 's no way out . that 's what you 're telling me , is n't it ? chris : legally , the way the divorce laws work in this state ... paul : ( groans ) chris : have you eaten anything today ? ca n't we just go out and get -- paul : no , i 'm not hungry . i want to be alone . god , i hate that woman ! chris : i 'll see you later . this is out there on global - i 'm seanna collins . one of edmonton 's most popular arts fundraising events , goes saturday and sunday . it 's alberta ballet 's house and garden tour - a showcase of six fabulous edmonton homes . soak up an eyeful of great design and decorating inspirationglobal is proud to sponsor pets in the park for the edmonton humane society this sunday . enjoy a full day of entertaining events , including dog olympics , agility , fly ball , educational exhibits . it 's the only day that pets of all kind are allowed at hawrelak parkrapid fire theatre presents the 2003 improvaganza international improv festival starting wednesday . do n't miss the mamasters of the universe international theatresports tournament - two shows nightly - wednesday through saturday at the varscona theatre . and learn how to reduce your home utility costs with the eco - solar home tour . this saturday , edmonton homes will be open , free to the public , to display solar power systems and energy efficent house construction . jill : what did you just say ?

[ smooches ] cane : that 's good . congratulations , really . that 's fantastic news . have you guys set a date ? have you talked about a location ? what -- what are you thinking ? victor : this willa woman claims that ian ward ca n't have children . that changes everything . victor : it does , indeed , if it 's true . there would be documented medical proof out there . if there is , i 'll find it . victor : you bet you will . and even if you find out that what she claims is correct , i want you to keep on digging , okay ? there 's more to it than meets the eye . i want to know exactly what ian ward is up to . all right ? thank you . dylan : hey . thanks for meeting me . nikki : hi . uh , that 's no problem . what did you need to see me for ? dylan : [ sighs ] i , uh , just got my test results back from paul 's surgeon . even though i 'm a donor match , they 've ruled me out as a candidate . nikki ? nikki : i 'm sorry . um ... they ruled you out ? why ? dylan : my war injuries . they 've decided the surgery would be too dangerous for me . barton : mrs. williams ? dylan mcavoy is n't a viable donor candidate for your husband . christine : are you certain ? barton : we 're still looking for other donors . christine : but how -- how can you do that ? neither his family nor his friends are the right blood type . barton : well , we 'll do all that we can . christine : [ crying ] i know , but ... how long can you keep paul going until you find one ? you -- dr. shelby , just be honest with me . barton : it 's a matter of days . i 'm sorry , mrs. williams . everything that can be done is being done . excuse me . christine : [ crying ] dylan : i was really hoping that i could help paul . if i could , i absolutely would . i just wanted to let you know . are you okay ? nikki : i 'm just worried . dylan : well , is there something else going on -- more than what 's happening with paul ?

phyllis : that wrong number -- that was a lie , was n't it ? marco : yes , that was a lie . phyllis : okay . so , who 's `` m `` ? marco : a woman that i loved . phyllis : a woman you loved i 've never even heard about ? marco : it was a lifetime ago . phyllis : before me ? marco : long before you . phyllis : it was serious , was n't it ? marco : i wanted to marry her . jack : it 's open . marisa : [ sighs ] thank god we found this place . jack : why is it deserted ? it 's not closed . marisa : i do n't know . hurricane season , maybe . jack : oh , great . we got that to look forward to . [ groans ] [ sighs ] marisa : it 's on dry land . be grateful for that . jack : [ sighs ] i thought we 'd be at the bottom of the deep blue sea by now . marisa : hello ? damn . jack : what ? what ? marisa : i found a phone , but it 's not working . there 's no way to call for help . [ sighs ] wake up , marco . jack ! you better be sleeping , you hear me ? jack ? jack , do n't you die on me . do n't you dare ! victoria : i know that look . you 've got the goods on jack , have n't you ? victor : you 're very perceptive . victoria : thank you . i try . so , what 's in the file ? victor : well , just proof that jack abbott is trying to betray me . victoria : the question is how . victor : it 's getting personal . victoria : yes , dad . it always is between you two . may i ? victor : mnh - mnh . abby : running late for what ? you just had brain surgery . ashley : i know , but i do n't have to be flat on my back in bed . i 'm following the doctor 's post - op instructions . i -- abby : and that 's a relief , but still ... ashley : honestly , honey , i love you so much and i 'm so grateful that i 'm gon na be sticking around for a while , but i ca n't chat right now , okay ? i 've got to get to a meeting . abby : whoa , whoa , whoa . a business meeting at this hour ? are -- are you sure you 're not overextending yourself ? what is so urgent that it ca n't wait ? billy : well , ash should be here any minute , so -- adam : you know , i got to hand it to you . it 's impressive . getting her on board -- i did n't think it was possible . billy : she wants jabot back in abbott hands . adam : even if it means getting her own hands dirty ? billy : i guess . they 'll be plenty of dirt to go around . adam : and spoils , right ? and sticking it to victor 's an added bonus . chelsea : who happens to be the father of ashley 's daughter . i mean , i can see why she would have some doubts . billy : well , what about you ? do you still have any ? chelsea : i mean , this plan of jack 's to set up victor so we get the company back -- can you really guarantee this wo n't be traced back to us ? billy : no guarantees in life , sweetheart . chelsea : thanks for the obvious , billy . i mean , we have children to think about . if this scheme blows up in our face , we could go to jail . i mean , somebody else would be raising our children . adam : listen , chelsea , if you 're uncomfortable doing your part , i could take over . i 'd leave you out of the whole thing , okay ? billy : wow . how gallant . adam : you should try it sometime , bill . chelsea : it 's just so risky . why are you so committed to this , gabe ? billy : you know , i was wondering the same thing . i mean , i know that you took the job at jabot to get chelsea into bed . mission accomplished . but , um , why risk everything for jack ? what 's in it for you ? adam : you know , you 're really something . it 's unbelievable . you ca n't resist the cheap shot , can you ? and it 's not enough that you got a thing for your ex- wife still and vice versa . your ego is such that you have to continue to pummel chelsea even after you embarrass her at her own wedding . that 's -- that 's great . chelsea : you guys , stop . stop . we 're not doing this again , okay ? billy : actually , gabe , i already apologized to chelsea for putting her through that , which is one more apology than i can say i got from you for seducing my fiancée . but nice try almost changing the subject . chelsea : okay . i - i 'm sorry i asked the question . let 's just move on . billy : why ? why ? it 's a good one . i mean , gabe 's not an abbott . why -- why would you risk everything for jack ? you 've got nothing to lose here . you could just walk away . adam : well , the same thing could be said for chelsea , could n't it ? but she 's willing to help him because he asked and he 's helped her in the past . the same goes for me , all right ? besides , bringing victor down would be like winning the lottery on christmas day . billy : what did the guy ever do to you ? adam : besides sending my father to an early grave ? billy : not according to victor . adam : well , how the hell would he know ? he was n't there . he took what he wanted and he left the wreckage behind . he has no idea what his greed caused . and if it 's the last thing i do , i 'm gon na make sure he pays . billy : yeah , yeah , you know , you 've been singing this song since day one , so how about you tell us the rest of the story now ? ashley : i really do have to be going . abby : whoa . why do n't you just go home and rest , and i will take this business meeting off of your hands . ashley : who said anything about this being a business meeting ? abby : well , work was pretty much a ghost town today . everyone left early and at the same time . if i did n't know any better , i would think everyone was hiding something from me . ashley : oh , honey , you 're just imagining things . abby : really ? because i asked billy , chelsea , and gabe what the story was , and the silence was deafening . you know , people have a lot of different reactions to me . some adore me , some despise me , but they never ignore me . it 's suspicious . ashley : i think it 's your imagination . i have to go , honey , okay ? have a good night . abby : [ sighs ] victoria : well , is this your idea of us being a team ? you 're just gon na put the file away and not let me see it ? obviously , you do n't trust me at all . victor : sweetheart , of course i trust you , okay ? i just want to protect you from certain unpleasant realities . victoria : what are you talking about ? is this about mom ? victor : no . victoria : did she have another setback ? is that what this is ? victor : no , the clinic called me and told me that she was doing well in her rehab , all right ? victoria : well , surely you must have spoken with her . victor : yes . she 's coming home soon . i 'm very happy about that . you and i talked about your approaching billy boy and trying to find out what the abbotts are plotting against me . do n't do that anymore , all right ? i - i do n't need you to do that . victoria : why ? why do you want me to stop digging ? i do n't understand . unless you already know what jack 's up to . victor : just do n't do it . i 'll take it from here , all right ? victoria : [ sighs ] fine , dad . victor : sweetheart . i want you to send me the info about a certain tragic accident at sea . [ door opens ] jack : phyllis ! marisa : sorry . no phyllis . you 'll have to settle for me . but at least you 're awake . jack : [ breathing heavily ] wait . di - did you -- marisa : i had to . sleeping in those dirty , wet clothes could have made you sick . to make it fair , you can watch me change later . jack : that wo n't be necessary . marisa : good . i found a closet of clothes in the office . i brought some things that should fit you . water . jack : oh , water . marisa : and a first - aid kit . how does your leg feel ? jack : [ groans ] it does n't tickle . marisa : bad burn . but you 're lucky . that was a big explosion . when i think of the poor captain ... jack : poor captain who would have had us both dead ? marisa : true , but i 'm no saint myself . are you ? jack : everything you 've done for me -- saving me on the boat , saving me in the ocean . i -- marisa : shh . lie back . jack : why ? i 'm not who you thought i was . i 'm not marco . marisa : no . you 're not . jack : tell me about him . i know this may sound strange , but in a way , i feel i owe him my life , too . phyllis : jack , you can not drop a bombshell on me like that and just expect me to let it go . marco : it 's ancient history . there 's no reason to bring it all up . phyllis : humor me . when , where did you meet this woman ? marco : it was during my bachelor days , which you may remember were legendary . phyllis : oh . let me guess . she was young . she was beautiful . was she a model ? yeah , okay . i hate her already , but please go ahead , go ahead . marco : no , you two would have liked each other -- both strong - willed , opinionated , determined . phyllis : how did you meet ? marco : a trip to south america . phyllis : i assume that 's where you learned spanish . marco : i was doing work for my father . i needed an interpreter . phyllis : what 's her name ? marco : manuela . we worked very closely , and one thing led to another . and i knew it could n't last , but ... i loved her very deeply . phyllis : liar . marco : i told you what happened . i left out the graphic details to spare you , but that 's the truth . phyllis : i called you a liar because you said you loved her , past tense . it 's very obvious to me that a part of you still does or you would n't be mourning her like this . marco : she was just so full of life . it 's hard to believe that ... phyllis : i 'm glad you told me . it actually makes me feel close to you . if this is too painful , i 'm not gon na ask you to dredge up more memories , okay ? jack : she grew up poor , manuela . never let that stop her . she was so full of spirit . you could see it in her eyes . you could see it in the way she walked . she was a beautiful woman , inside and out . belligerent , yes , sometimes . stubborn , yes , but in a good way . she -- she laughed when other people cried . she cried when other people laughed . oh , what does it matter now ? phyllis : it matters to you , so ... it matters to me . you said that you almost married her . why did n't you ? marco : oh , it would n't have worked for any number of reasons . it was a different time . phyllis : you were afraid what people would think ? marco : no . no , i wanted to spend the rest of my li -- she was a free spirit . one day , she packed her bags and just took off , never leaving a trace behind . phyllis : until now . this is an incredible story . but it needs an end . marco : i 've told you all i know . phyllis : yeah , not quite . who texted you about manuela 's death ? and who died with her in that explosion ? marisa : marco -- he was trouble . jack : a real bad boy , huh ? marisa : the worst . jack : what is it about nice girls and bad boys ? marisa : who said i was nice ? jack : [ chuckles ] marisa : we did what we had to do to survive . still , marco held on to a piece of his soul , just enough to save me from those horrible streets . jack : and you loved him for it . marisa : [ sighs ] i 've known my share of men , some good , some terrible , but marco -- he was the only man i ever loved . jack : so , what happened ? why did n't you have your happy ending ? marisa : he did n't have enough faith in the world , in us . there came a time when he had to choose . i thought he chose me . jack : and he did n't . marisa : no . i was ready to run away with him , leave all the ugliness and violence behind us , but ... he could n't do it . he left me with a bag of money and took off . jack : i 'm sorry . marisa : what does it matter now ? he 's probably dead . [ sniffles ] you ca n't expect to live the way marco annicelli did , make the kind of enemies he made , and live to a ripe old age . jack : there 's one more thing we have in common besides our looks . back home , everyone thinks i 'm dead . we do n't get off this island , they might be right . abby : what is going on around here ? victoria : that 's what i 'd like to know . i have just come from the most frustrating meeting . i have n't been able to get any of my questions answered at all . abby : well , i can relate to that , sister . no one is telling me anything , not even my own mother . it 's like they 're throwing me a surprise party and did n't tell me where to show up . victoria : whoa , whoa , whoa , whoa . who 's `` they `` ? abby : they . everyone . i 'm -- i 'm being paranoid . victoria : abby , wait . hold on a second . come on . i want to know what 's bothering you . i mean , we are family , after all , right ? abby : in all ways , except for when it comes to business . victoria : come on , come on . who 's ducking your questions ? your mom . who else ? abby : do you know something i do n't ? victoria : i am ready to share all information with you , but only because you 're a newman at heart . abby : yeah , let 's go with that . victoria : [ sighs ] the reason that ashley is shutting you down just confirms my suspicions that it 's the same brick wall that i 've been hitting with billy and kyle . it 's so obvious what 's going on . the abbotts are planning some move against our father . abby : i thought that dad and uncle jack were best buds now . victoria : jack has been pretending this whole time . he 's planning something . dad told me to work on billy to try to figure out what that is , but tonight , he told me to forget about it . abby : what ? why ? victoria : i do n't know . i have no clue ! but it 's a missed opportunity . abby : it would be . victoria : are you thinking what i 'm thinking ? abby : our father does n't always know best , does he ? chelsea : do n't question gabe 's motives . the man lost his father because of victor . billy : yeah , i know . it 's a touching story , and he trots it out whenever he needs it , like a card trick . adam : victor newman stole harrison bingham 's company out from under him . it cost him his life . he is responsible for his death . billy : i do n't know , bingham . it just rings a little false for me . chelsea : my god , billy , stop . what -- what is it you 're trying to say ? billy : just saying that he was barely out of college when this all went down , and , uh , you 'd think maybe he would have gotten over it by now . adam : yeah , the way you got over your daughter 's death ? billy : wow . those two are not even remotely the same thing . harrison bingham died . adam : committed suicide . billy : and delia was murdered . adam : adam said it was an accident . billy : murdered . chelsea : gabe , drop it . it 's not a contest . adam : you 're right . it 's not a contest . you want to know the truth ? you want to know why i 'm doing this ? billy : sure . adam : i 'd like to do this not only for harrison bingham but for my father . billy : wh - what are you talking about ? they 're the same damn thing . adam : they 're not . harrison bingham is the man who raised me . my father -- my father 's jack abbott . ashley : what the hell are you talking about ? billy : nothing . he 's lost his mind . adam : hardly . billy : oh , this ca n't be true . chelsea : you 're -- you 're not being serious . ashley : yeah , how can you be jack 's son ? please ? adam : i presume it happened in the usual manner . billy : [ chuckles ] man , you are unbelievable . chelsea : [ chuckles ] i mean , you 're -- you 're messing with them . just tell them you 're messing with them . ashley : yeah , right ? 'cause he has to be . billy : so , if you 're jack 's son , then that would make you my nephew . ashley : [ laughs ] and i 'm aunt ashley , apparently . adam : listen , are we just gon na run up and down the family tree all night or do you have some salient questions you want to ask me ? uncle billy , you want to go first ? billy : oh , to hell with that . ashley : okay , so , um , when did this happen ? adam : uh , when i was conceived , i guess . ashley : you know , you can really stop with the smart - ass answers , okay ? 'cause they 're really not that funny , especially if this is some kind of a threat to my family . now , how long have you known that you 're jack 's `` son `` ? adam : not long . honestly , i was as shocked as you are when i found out . okay , and part of me still finds it hard to believe that my mother had an affair with jack , but , uh ... apparently it did n't last long , and then , when she passed away , he decided to just ... keep it a secret . that 's the truth . billy : th - this is all crap , bingham , and nobody 's buying it . adam : you do n't have to take my word for it . just ask your brother . he 'll tell you . ashley : yeah , i intend to ask my brother . i also want some legitimate documentation , so please do n't even utter the name abbott until i get it , please . billy : you want a dna test ? ashley : absolutely . you know what they say . science never lies . adam : take it up with jack . ashley : like i said , i intend to . adam : okay . ashley : now , speaking of jack 's sons , where 's kyle ? is n't he supposed to be here ? chelsea : uh , um , we have n't -- we have n't heard from him yet . billy : he 's out of the country . he 's checking on the funds to make sure they were transferred to that off - shore account . ashley : jack allowed this ? billy : well , actually , i was gon na go , but kyle insisted . he did n't want me taking the risk on account of my kids . ashley : so , wait a second . so , all the risk is now kyle 's ? i mean , there 's gon na be video surveillance of him all the way there and back . he 's gon na leave a trail that could lead right back to him if something goes wrong with this . billy : ash , jack would never throw kyle to the wolves to save himself . ashley : jack would n't do a lot of things , or so i thought . text kyle . tell him not to put that money transfer through . adam : it may be too late for that . ashley : i do n't care . billy , do it . we 're not gon na get ourselves in any deeper until i speak with jack . [ door closes ] billy : well , you are just the gift that keeps on giving . victor : it 's me . i got the info . i - i need to find out where it went down . uh , no . start a recovery mission . i 'll pay for it . well , i need proof that jack abbott is dead . marco : when manuela and i parted , i tried to forget her . no easy task . i spent a small fortune trying to find her . phyllis : you could n't find her ? marco : eventually , i did . and i learned that she was married . phyllis : what does this have to do with the text ? jack : no , i 'm -- i 'm getting to that . i also learned that she and her new husband were having financial troubles , so i decided to help . i paid down their debts through an intermediary , and with my assistance , they were able to put a life back together , save their small business . they did okay . phyllis : and manuela had no idea you were her guardian angel ? marco : no , and i wanted it that way . she was happy . and that was enough for me , until ... phyllis : so , your contact in latin america is who texted you ? and the other person who died was manuela 's husband ? marco : they had n't had a vacation in years . no one knows what caused the explosion . the ship went down immediately , and ... everyone was lost . jack : hey . you okay ? marisa : i ca n't stop thinking about what you said . marco 's enemies are very powerful . sooner or later , they 're gon na realize we made it off the boat . when they find out you 're alive , they 'll come after you . jack : even if i 'm not marco ? marisa : [ sighs ] these men -- they shoot first and ask questions later . come on . can you walk ? jack : uh ... i kicked my way a mile to shore . yeah , i can walk . marisa : okay . jack . jack ! jack ! no . come on . jack . escucha . victoria : you 're an abbott as well as a newman , so how do i know i can trust you ? abby : are you having second thoughts about teaming up ? victoria : no , no , no . i 'm just trying to get the lay of the land . abby : look , i ca n't give you an iron - clad guarantee . but what 's your alternative ? i mean , you could just abide by dad 's command and be a good soldier . victoria : you know i wo n't . abby : yeah . see , you 're not a soldier . so , what do you say ? victoria and abby together again for the first time . victoria : looks like it . [ chuckles ] abby : awesome ! great , so we are gon na forget about dad , forget about uncle jack , forget about everyone except for the two of us . we 're gon na find out what the real story is and share it with each other . deal ? victoria : deal . but ... abby : what ? victoria : look , i love the idea of working together with you on this , but what if the plan 's already been set in motion ? what if we 're too late to do anything about it ? chelsea : it looks like there 's a storm coming . i hope connor sleeps through it . billy : well , it 's nothing compared to the storm that 's going to hit if gabe 's lying about his paternity . adam : you think i asked to be related to you ? billy : no , maybe not , but you 're certainly making the most of it , are n't you ? this explains how you got the job at jabot , rose to the top with no experience . adam : i earned it . billy : yeah , i 'm sure you did . same way you earned chelsea 's trust . how 's that working out for you ? you know , gabe , is there anything that 's real about you ? adam : okay , here 's the thing . you got to go . billy : that 's not your call . want me to toss this guy out ? chelsea : no , i - i think you should go . billy : fine . adam : are n't you forgetting something , uncle billy ? big sister gave you a direct order . billy : ashley 's overreacting . kyle will be fine . the chance to overthrow victor is too important to postpone . adam : thank you for not attacking me like the rest of them . it means the world to have you on my side . i appreciate that . chelsea : you are a bastard , gabe . how could you ? marco : thank you for understanding . phyllis : i 'm glad you told me . i 'm actually grateful to manuela . marco : grateful ? phyllis : yeah . maybe playboy jack needed to love and have his heart broken a few times to know what real love is . you know , if you had n't loved and lost with luan , now manuela , you might not have gone on the journey you took to come to love me . marco : [ voice breaking ] you are an amazing woman . and you 're right . everything in my life led me to you , to this amazing life we share . and nothing , no one is going to take it from me . phyllis : honey , why would someone try to take it from you ? [ cell phone rings ] marco : i 'm sorry . phyllis : who is it ? marco : victor . phyllis : just take it . take it . marco : whatever this is about , we can discuss it in the morning . victor : i need to see you right now at the office . phyllis : what is it ? marco : nothing i ca n't handle . marisa : oh , you 're burning up with fever . i 'm afraid your wounds are infected . you need a doctor . jack : i 'll be fine . marisa : no , you wo n't . escúchame . you may not live to see your wife or your family again . i need to find a doctor or at least a phone . jack : no . you 're not going for help . you 're gon na save your own skin and leave me here to die . chelsea : you know that the one thing i really hate is being lied to . so then what did you do ? you -- you kept me in the dark about who you really are ? adam : chelsea , listen -- chelsea : i mean , that 's not even the worst part . you allowed me to let a stranger into my life , into my -- my home , into my bed . i mean , i shared things with you , gabe . i -- including my son . adam : i 'm not a stranger , chelsea . i 'm anything but a stranger . chelsea : how can you say that ? i just found out that you 're not the man that you said you were . i mean , jack abbott 's son ? ! why would n't you have told me that ? adam : i just found out about it . chelsea : then why did n't you tell me the second you found out ? it 's -- it 's like -- and you certainly had the opportunity when you were laying next to me in my bed . adam : chelsea , i was in shock , okay ? can you imagine one minute i am who i am , and the next minute , i 'm -- i do n't even know who i am . i 'm someone completely different . i was in shock , okay ? look , if there 's one thing you can hold on to , one thing that 's true , it 's my love for you . that is real . so believe in that . billy : hey , uh , the usual , please . abby : ready , partner ? victoria : ready . abby : billy ! hey ! billy : hey . abby : hey , why do n't you come join us ? come sit down . billy : [ chuckles ] sure . it 's ... the best offer i 've had all day . abby : oh , what 's wrong ? you look like you 've lost your best friend . billy : more like i 've gained a new one , whether i want him or not . victoria : um ... do you want to talk about it ? billy : yeah , no . i 'd really rather pretend it never happened . look , have you guys seen jack at all tonight ? abby : i do n't believe it . dad was right . uncle jack 's planning a sneak attack , and you know about it , do n't you , billy ? billy : i do n't know what you 're talking about , abby . victoria : oh , you know , it 's -- it 's just a really well - kept secret . that 's all . but you do have a conscience . are you sure you do n't want to talk about it ? it might make you feel better . i promise whatever you tell us will not leave this table . ashley : what are you doing at my computer ? you have one in your office . phyllis : i 'm looking up boat explosions in south america . ashley : [ sighs ] okay , that 's very funny , phyllis . did jack put you up to this ? is he using you to get into my files like he 's using kyle ? phyllis : what are you talking about ? why would he be using kyle ? ashley : i do n't want to get into it . i need to find jack . phyllis : well , he was called away by his business partner . ashley : oh , really ? so , what did victor want ? phyllis : no clue . whatever it was , he would not take no for an answer . marco : this better be urgent . there 's a big storm coming in , and i do n't want to get caught driving home . victor : [ chuckles ] i do n't blame you . it 's uncomfortable to be blindsided , is n't it ? but then , you 're an expert at that , are n't you ? huh ? doing away with people in dark alleys and putting knives in people 's backs . marco : i do n't know what the hell you 're talking about . victor : really ? marco : hard to believe . victor : [ chuckles ] spare me . marco : excuse me ? victor : you 're a thug -- one that i applied polish to , but you 're still a thug . you 're in way over your head . marco : am i ? victor : i can make you and i can break you . marco : that 's right . you did make me . you found me in that stinking prison , greased the palm of some slimy politician to get me out of peru , flew me here , tutored me on the fine points of becoming john abbott jr. once i perfected my role , you unleashed me on the world . this whole idea was your doing . all i had to do was make sure no one found out about it . victor : including my granddaughter 's husband and my grandson 's fiancée . marco : again , i have no idea what you 're talking about . victor : i 'm talking about the people in the cabin . remember that pretty young blond policewoman ? marco : oh , that . if i got blood on my hands , so do you , my friend . victor : so , you admit to killing them -- austin and courtney and tobias . marco : i admit to nothing . victor : do n't think for one moment of implicating me in those murders . marco : gee , now why would i think that ? face it , my friend . those kids are dead for a reason . no one was to find out that there are two jack abbotts . now that jack abbott himself is shark bait , only you and i know the truth . and maybe that 's one too many . victor : yeah . maybe . adam : chelsea , who the hell cares who my dad is , anyway ? is it really that important ? i mean , the important thing is that i 'm here with you , right ? that i - i 'm looking forward to this life that i want to share with you . and in spite of everything that 's happened , i know you feel the same way , right ? right ? okay , look , i know this is difficult for you . i understand that , okay ? and i know you 're hurt . but just tell me what you need from me . and whatever it is , i 'll do it . chelsea : there 's only one thing you can do for me now , gabe . and that is to get the hell out of my house . abby : whatever jack has up his sleeve , it must be pretty shocking if it 's gotten you down this way . victoria : i really hate to see it eating you up like this . and we all know that jack is not the same guy that he used to be . abby : no . that 's an understatement . victoria : he 's made some very questionable choices , and guess who 's left to clean up the mess . abby : you . victoria : billy , for your sake and for katherine and for johnny , would you please tell me what 's going on so i can help you ? abby : and if you 're worried about this getting back to victor , do n't . vicki and i have declared our independence . we are doing what 's best for us and not dear old dad . billy : yes . you two are really good at this . i 'm surprised you have n't tried this approach more often . abby : approach ? billy : mm . tag team . good sister , bad sister . whatever you want to call it . victoria : oh , come on , billy . give us a little more credit than that . billy : okay , all right . you want a little -- a little scandal , a little tidbit ? here you go . gabriel bingham is not who he says he is . abby : what does that mean ? billy : it means we have a new member of the abbott fold , one i did n't even know existed until tonight . victoria : wait a minute . what ? billy : yeah , it would seem that the bastard who slept with my fiancée is my nephew . abby : wait , jack is gabe 's father ? ashley : okay , so i 'm just gon na wait for jack here . now , what was so urgent that you had to use my computer and could n't wait for your own ? phyllis : i told you . i 'm looking up boat explosions involving a woman by the name of manuela . has jack ever mentioned her to you ? ashley : manuela . um ... no , i do n't think i 've ever heard that before . phyllis : she 's an old girlfriend of jack 's , but something is very off about the story . ashley : that 's it ? that was so urgent you had to use my computer ? phyllis : whoa . touchy . what 's your deal ? ashley : i 'm not blaming you , all right ? there 's nothing jack does anymore that surprises me , like this mysterious woman from his past , and now , supposedly , jack has a son that none of us ever knew about . phyllis : what son would that be ? marisa : if i wanted to save myself , i would have let you drown . now let go of me so i can go . sleep . i do n't know how far i 'll have to walk to find a village with a doctor or someone else that can help you . [ sighs ] jack : marisa . marisa : yes , jack ? jack : you 'll come back , right ? marisa : [ sighs ] of course . [ door opens , closes ] victor : if you think you can intimidate me , you 've made a serious miscalculation . marco : have i ? victor : you believe in your own bull about being a thug and ruthless and tough ? have you ever come up against a guy who ca n't be intimidated ? marco : if you 're looking for the 9 mm you keep in the drawer there , you 're looking in the wrong place . victor : you have n't got the guts . marco : you sure about that ? [ next_on ] joe : what are you having to drink ? lily : uh , fuzzy navel , but i think i 'm ready for something a little stronger . dylan : did you call the police ? avery : i - i - i did n't even think . [ gasps ] oh , my god . | fake jack ( marco ) tells phyllis that a woman he once loved named manuela died in a boat explosion and that the text message he got was a contact in south america who confirmed her death . phyllis is moved by fake jack 's story and starts doing research on the internet about the boat explosion . victoria and abby decide to team up and find out the secret that everyone is keeping from them about the company . abby and victoria try to get information from billy , but he catches on to what they are trying to do and does n't say a word . billy , chelsea , and ashley wonder why gabe wants to help jack so badly that he would risk going to jail . the group puts so much pressure on gabe about his true motives that he reveals that jack is his biological father . |
billy : so , listen , johnny . i 'm really sorry that i ca n't hang out with you this weekend . but what i got planned next weekend 's gon na be even better . you know why ? what 's your favorite thing to do in the world ? [ chuckles ] that 's right -- dinosaur park . me , you , and t - rex , all right , all weekend . it 's gon na be a blast . yes . okay . listen . i love you . be good . give your sister a kiss for me , too . okay . bye . hi , hannah . uh , yeah , yeah , thank you for that . um , and you 're gon na tell victoria that the plans have changed , correct ? okay , great . okay , good . um , that 's it . okay , thanks . bye . [ sighs ] billy : i would give anything to just wake up and hold you in my arms away from prying eyes . jack : phyllis ? hello ? phyllis : i 'm sorry . what was your question ? jack : wow . i lost you there for a moment . no , i was just wondering if i knew any of these new pass key investors you 're meeting with in montreal . phyllis : no , i doubt it . they 're contacts i networked myself . jack : i am so proud of you . as you know , pass key was not my favorite project for quite a while -- off to a rough start . you 've grown it in ways i never could have imagined . phyllis : do n't be proud of me , jack . it 's just business as usual . jack : are you kidding me ? you are a star . you 're beautiful . you 're smart . how did i get so lucky ? devon : hey , it 's my two favorite people . happy to be home . lily : yeah , you cut your trip short ? devon : no , why ? lily : hilary did n't tell you . devon : did n't tell me what ? cane : she collapsed the other night right here in the club . devon : is she okay ? cane : well , she claims it was low blood sugar because she had n't eaten all day . devon : did she go to the hospital ? cane : no , she refused . devon : well , why am i only hearing about this now ? lily : because the only thing wrong with hilary is hilary . she faked a fainting spell to get jack 's attention . hilary : please tell me that you perfected your miracle drug . dr. neville : progress , not perfection . hilary : [ sighs ] i can not believe that this is happening . dr. neville : unfortunately , the tremor in your right hand proves that it is . hilary : and the longer it takes you to figure it out , the greater the chance that i end up back in a coma . though some people may not think that 's so horrible . ashley : please . i never wanted you to relapse , hilary , although now maybe you can understand why neville and i were fighting you pushing that drug trial through , especially after the second patient had a negative reaction . hilary : but not you . you seem fine . ashley : just lucky , i guess . hilary : just fix it , all right ? you owe me . nick : sharon is having nightmares about sage ? dylan : [ sighs ] yeah . you know , with me , uh , working adam 's case and all this talk about sage 's journal , it just brought up a lot of stuff for sharon . nick : sharon said she was n't sleeping , but it was because sully 's teething . dylan : nah , it 's not about sully . it 's all about sharon . nick : well , sharon did find sage the night of the accident . that 's got to be a tough image to shake . i hate that it 's haunting her , but why would n't she just tell me that ? sharon : nick knows me so well . of course , he could tell something was wrong . mariah : because you 're acting like a crazy person . you have to stop letting your fear call the shots . sharon : how ? i go to bed with this every night . i wake up with it every morning . i - i have to tell him . i have to . but i ca n't . i mean , how ? mariah : this is why you need to see a shrink . but you wo n't , so your only option is to peel yourself off the ceiling . go feed the horses . do yoga in the park -- something , because this is not working for you . sharon : what if nick just figures it out ? mariah : oh , god . please do n't get me started with the whole sully cowlicks thing again . the only thing that is gon na give this away is your guilt . it 's like a tattoo on your forehead . so , please ... let 's go get out of the house , because being inside is making you loony . kevin : i gather this is n't a jack : i admit to being surprised how quickly this trip to montreal got thrown together , but i respect your judgment , and i have all the faith in the world in you . phyllis : just doing my job . jack : nah , you 're doing more than your job . you 're going the extra mile . look , you could do this over a conference call , but you wanted to make it personal , let these investors know what the abbott name stands for , that we do n't just talk about loyalty . phyllis : wow . look at the time . i - i really do need to go . jack : okay . i 'll get you to the airport . i 'll see you off . phyllis : no . no , no . you have your hands full juggling the foundation and jabot . i - i called a car . jack : always thinking about me . promise me you 'll call when you get there ? phyllis : of course , i will . jack : i know you 're only gon na be gone for a few days , but i miss you already . i love you . phyllis : it 's only canada , jack . i 'll see you in a few days . ashley : neville owes you ? hilary : he used me as a guinea pig in his frankenstein experiment . dr. neville : that 's a little harsh , is n't it ? if it was n't for my work , you would n't be here to toss around demands or insults . hilary : i protected you . dr. neville : you blackmailed me . hilary : i convinced my husband to fund your research . ashley : for the greater glory of you . hilary : i took control of my life . i wo n't apologize for that . but you . you go on and on about your genius , how us mere mortals should bow to your brilliance , how the medical community is too closed - minded to appreciate your gift . well , it is now time that you live up to your own hype . perfect this drug . make it work before this gets worse , or i swear to god , i -- ashley : okay , is this actually happening right now ? you 're threatening the man who holds your life in his hands . that 's not really effective management style . do you see that ? hilary : exactly . my life is on the line . and the two of you do nothing but fight me . i swear to god , you probably want me to die . dr. neville : that 's enough . ashley did n't pay off the lab tech . you did . but she is willing to take the fall . so instead of badgering her , why do n't you try a little gratitude ? and while you 're at it , you could take a few steps back from me , because thanks to your mistakes , i no longer have time for anything but my work . and i 've had enough of your self - destructive narcissism . i want nothing more than for you to live a long life . whether or not it 's happy is up to you . but i - i give you my word i 'm doing everything to make it happen . hilary : you have work to do , doctor . ashley : and you and i have a deal , do n't we , hilary ? you stay away from the lab . you stay away from my brother . do we understand each other ? hilary : perfectly . dr. neville : what deal ? devon : so let me just understand what you 're saying . because -- because jack was present when my wife collapsed , you 're gon na spin that into she 's cheating on me now ? lily : i did n't say that she 's cheating on you . she 's just lining up her next conquest . devon : do you hear yourself ? lily : there is nothing wrong with hilary . devon : she passed out . lily : yeah , and so beautifully , right into jack 's arms . devon : i 'm -- i 'm not gon na argue with you about this , okay ? i know that my wife has flaws . my eyes are wide open about that . but i - i love her . she loves me , okay ? and that 's what you do . you love the whole package of who you 're with . lily : well , the whole package is making you out to be a fool . and i ca n't stand to watch it . devon : and i - i mean , i - i assume you agree with her . cane : i think your sister 's concerned about you with good reason . devon : well , let me assure you guys we 've gotten past all the distrust , and we 're on a path to actually have a happy life , okay ? my wife ended up at the bottom of a cliff on our honeymoon because of things our father did , so if you want to blame someone for what she 's doing or going through , blame him . lily : yeah , what dad did was horrible , but you ca n't blame him for hilary 's behavior . devon : i sure can , yeah . she was a victim through it , and so was i . he and neville let me think that she 's dead . you do n't just get over that . lily : well , she has a very proactive way of getting over it -- by blackmailing us and showing us who she really is , which is a money - grubbing tramp . cane : all right , there 's no reason to -- lily : w - what , to -- to speak the truth ? i mean , you need to hear it . devon : i need to check on my wife . that 's what i need to do . lily : devon , open your eyes . hilary knows exactly what she 's doing . but jack is too good of a guy to see it . and so are you . [ sighs ] [ cell phone rings ] billy : you 're not changing your mind , are you ? phyllis : maybe i should . billy : you ca n't . [ scoffs ] phyllis : i lied to jack . billy : look . phyllis , i know how hard this is , but -- phyllis : it 's wrong , billy . this is so wrong . what the hell are we doing ? billy : hold on a second . there 's somebody at the door . phyllis : wait a minute . wait a minute . before you answer it , just answer me this . what we 're doing , what we 're about to do , is it worth risking everything ? mariah : it 's so beautiful out , i was suggesting sharon get some fresh air . kevin : oh , 'cause you 're all about fresh air now ? that 's your new thing -- the great outdoors ? mariah : i hear it 's very good for people -- endorphins and all that crap . so , tiptoe among the tulips , run your errands , because you 've been cooped up in here all day long . sharon : sully is still taking a nap . mariah : i can manage a game of peek - a - boo when he wakes up . sharon : okay . nice seeing you again , kevin . kevin : you , too . mariah : what are you doing here ? kevin : i miss you . mariah : mm . when do you have time for that , high life you 're living with the new and improved swizzle stick ? kevin : forget about natalie for a minute . look . i have n't been a very good friend lately , but i am your friend . and i want you to tell me what 's going on here . mariah : here ? this house ? kevin : yes . sharon 's clearly very upset . you 're on edge , acting weird . mariah : no , i 'm not . kevin : you just kicked her out of the house and told her to go tiptoe through the tulips . mariah : everything is fine , perfectly fine . we are just your normal , average , all - american family . so if that 's really all you wanted , i have a game of peek - a - boo to prep for . kevin : here 's -- here 's the deal . i am not leaving until you tell me what 's going on . dylan : [ sighs ] i think the reason sharon did n't tell you about the nightmares she was having about sage , besides not wanting to burden you -- sharon feels guilty . nick : about what ? dylan : just , you know , just about life moving on when you 're dealing with such a huge loss . apparently , uh , chelsea and sharon , they have to fill sage 's job , and sharon asked mariah to take the position . nick : uh , it did seem a little off when i walked in . maybe that was the conversation i stepped into the middle of . why would n't they just tell me that , though ? dylan : she does n't want to do anything to make it harder on you . nick : well , that might explain why she 's been acting so strange around me , almost uncomfortable ... especially if i 'm around sully . billy : you know , i picked those strawberries myself , fresh , straight out of the basket at the market . i was walking down the aisles , trying to figure out what was gon na put a smile on your face . i did n't know if it was foie gras and toast or chips and dip . i realized that i do n't know that much about you . and i want to know more . maybe i should have just went with potato chips , huh ? salt and vinegar , maybe ? phyllis : yeah , i love salt and vinegar . billy : [ chuckles ] phyllis : no , this is beautiful . this is delicious . i just -- i 'm not that hungry . i had ... lunch with jack . billy : oh . phyllis : how 's brash & sassy ? billy : [ chuckles ] brash & sassy ! -- it 's not what i expected . i mean , you know , i - i did my homework , the fundamentals , the -- the numbers . i implemented strategies for growth , of course . [ sighs ] phyllis : that 's good . that sounds good so far . billy : yeah , but i overlooked one thing . victoria built that business not just on p & l numbers , but on relationships ... with the vendors , with the vps , with the guys at the loading dock . they love her . you know , you should hear what they say about her , how well she treats them , tough but fair . what 's not to love , you know ? devon : hey , babe . hilary : oh , my gosh . hey . devon : hey . hilary : you 're home early . [ chuckles ] devon : could n't stay away from my beautiful wife . hilary : aww . i missed you , too , mm , so much . devon : i missed you . how you doing ? hilary : i 'm good . devon : you okay ? hilary : yeah , of course . devon : you sure ? hilary : yeah . devon : 'cause i heard that you , uh -- heard that you collapsed . hilary : oh . devon : why did n't you call me ? hilary : because it was -- it was nothing , okay ? i - i was just so busy , i forgot to eat , okay ? and it was really embarrassing , so please , please , can we just pretend like it never happened ? devon : no , babe , i do n't want to pretend that it did n't happen . i think that you should actually see a doctor to make sure it 's not something serious . i might insist that you do that . hilary : devon , i 'm fine , okay ? and i would much rather hear about your trip , hmm ? devon : honey , i know how strong you are , and i know how much you can handle , 'cause i 've literally seen you take on the world without missing a beat , which makes me feel like there 's more to this that you 're not telling me . [ knock on door ] billy : i - i mean , i know cosmetics from being at jabot . i get it , but being in the driver 's seat at brash & sassy ! , it 's different . and it 's on me now . i got to choose between sultry sienna lipstick and vixen 's violet ... phyllis : oh . billy : ... i mean , which one makes the new fall lineup . that 's a tough decision . and i ca n't necessarily take vixen 's violet for a test run . i do n't know if it lasts all day . phyllis : right . billy : maybe i should . and then there 's the ad campaigns . it 's up to me . i got to choose between beautiful and beautiful . phyllis : i do n't know how you do it . billy : [ chuckles ] phyllis : that 's very difficult . i mean , photo shoots are hard , you know , with gorgeous women ? i do n't know . it 's just another tough day at the office , i guess . billy : it is . phyllis : you bought a cosmetics company . what did you expect ? billy : well , when brash & sassy ! came on the market , i ... [ inhales sharply ] ... could n't resist . phyllis : oh . billy : thought it was the karmic pendulum swinging back at victoria . phyllis : knocking her down for the count , huh ? billy : well , she did have me fired from pass key . and jack was quick to comply . phyllis : they ... did not get you off of pass key because they hate you . it was just the opposite . billy : more wine ? phyllis : they did it because they love you . jack : i 'm sorry for interrupting . i did n't realize you were back from your trip , devon . devon : it 's not a problem . we were just catching up . jack : uh , i do n't want to put a crimp in your homecoming . i -- devon : no , no , please . what brings you up here ? jack : just checking on hilary . uh , foundation business . but , you know , it can wait . devon : no , actually , we were just talking about , um , hilary 's workload and how , uh , i think she might be overdoing it , 'cause i found out she collapsed . what do you think about that ? hilary : devon , i told you , i just -- i forgot to eat . that 's it . devon : you were there , though , when it happened , jack . do you -- you know , what do you think about it ? jack : i think your wife throws herself heart and soul into anything she gets involved in , and she needs to remember to eat a sandwich once in a while . hilary : [ chuckles ] all i need is my husband . and you know i do n't sleep well when you 're away . and now that you 're home , i will be fine , okay ? jack : that 's my cue . devon : uh , hey , listen . you would n't have come up here if it was n't important , so stay , and you guys can discuss whatever business you need to . ashley : so now do you understand why i made that deal with her ? you have to be able to perfect your formula . you and your beautiful mind have to be free so you can get that drug trial through . you can save other lives just like you did mine . dr. neville : [ sighs ] i deeply regret that you felt compelled to act in a manner that was so against your nature . but i promise you , i am doing my utmost to live up to the faith that you have in me . ashley : i thought there were no promises in medicine . dr. neville : no , there are n't . but there are between friends . i intend to keep this one . nick : does sharon think i begrudge your happiness , the fact that you have a healthy baby and a happy marriage ? do you , dylan ? dylan : uh , no . i -- nick , i want you to be happy . nick : yeah , but if i 'm making sharon uncomfortable just by being around her , then maybe i -- dylan : okay , just -- just stop right there , because you know sharon cares about you . we care about you . she 's concerned . she knows what it 's like to have a child taken away from her . nick : sharon , do n't you know that by now ? you can be honest with me about mariah : i hate to burst your inflated sense of yourself , but there is nothing going on . and even if there was , i have no burning desire to share it with you . kevin : i know you better than anyone . mariah : then you 'd know that i do n't miss your smelly socks or your half - eaten kung pao shrimp that you leave in the sink . kevin : that was one time . mariah : i have a question . how does the designer version of natalie deal with your man - slob habits ? is she trying to change you , or is she just gon na buy a brand - new house to go with the brand - new you ? kevin : t - this is classic you ! you ca n't take the heat , so you change the subject . guess what ? it 's not gon na work this time . i do n't leave until you tell me what 's going on . well , whatever it is , it has you in knots , because you have n't been the same since you moved in with sharon . mariah : i moved in with sharon because my roommate became a rich jackass . kevin : but you stayed because of sharon . so whatever this is , it has to do with her . that 's not a question . tell me . sharon : well , of course i know i can talk to you , nick . nick : apparently not about this . i mean , dylan told me that you 've been having nightmares about sage . sharon : wha -- why would you tell him that ? uh , i mean , why would you share something so upsetting with your brother ? dylan : because nick is worried about you . sharon : i - i 'm fine . nick : sharon , we 've known each other for too long . i can tell when you 're fine and when you 're not . look . it might be these nightmares or -- or sage haunting you . i 'm having the same sleepless nights . but when i was over at your place hanging out with you and sully , you could barely look me in the eye or hold a conversation . i could n't help but think that ... sharon : think what ? nick : maybe you were backsliding on your medication . i mean , the early signs were there . sharon : a bipolar episode . nick : but dylan corrected me . he said that you 've been keeping up with your meds . and i 'm sorry that i assumed the worst . billy : i have to say , though , heading up brash & sassy ! gives me a whole new appreciation for what , you know , women [ chuckles ] go through to feel good about themselves . phyllis : it 's a 24/7 job . billy : it is . it 's insane . i do n't know how you guys do it . phyllis : [ chuckles ] billy : i will say , though , there 's nothing -- there 's nothing more beautiful than a woman when she just wakes up in the morning , or when she 's hanging out , all relaxed , no makeup on , just feeling good about herself . phyllis : you 've never seen me when i wake up . i 'm all bed head . billy : i 'm looking forward to seeing that . you are so beautiful . phyllis : [ sighs ] i -- [ sighs ] i ca n't do this . i ca n't do this . billy : it 's easy . you just put your lips on mine , and we go from there . phyllis : i 'm -- i 'm feeling awkward , and i just -- i 'm awkward . billy : well , maybe we just need to relax . maybe we both just need to relax and keep the rest of the world on the other side of that door . phyllis : or maybe we just come to our senses , and we end this . we end this before there 's no going back . jack : the fundraiser and the dedication put the abbott - winters foundation on the map , but i want to build on that momentum . i want to build relationships with the community . these are the people we 're gon na be partnering with in the future . hilary : the stronger our ties with the community , the broader the scope of our outreach . i will make it a priority to liaison with all community leaders , business and civic . jack : good , that 's exactly what we need . and if you can manage jill , you can manage all of the above without breaking a sweat . hilary : [ chuckles ] i 'll get started on a list right now . i like jill , even if , um , the feeling is n't mutual . how can you not admire a woman who went from manicurist to ceo ? jack : that 's the spirit . hilary : [ sighs ] i 'll get started on this list later . and , you know , um , i really -- i look forward to the challenge . jack : yeah , well , thank you for all of your hard work . and , devon ... devon : hmm ? jack : ... i 'm sorry to have , uh , messed up your return . welcome home , huh ? devon : thanks . jack : talk to you later . devon : so what was that mariah : look . you 're reading way too much into this . my mom just had a baby . i needed a place to stay because i did n't want to live a wall away from you and natalie jumping each other 's bones . kevin : there is no bone - jumping . mariah : okay , i think that 's enough sharing for today , so you can go . kevin : nope . it 's your turn . mariah : do you really want to know ? okay , fine . here it is . i did n't get a lot of time growing up with sharon . and i was n't in the best head space when i came here . but i get it now , the whole family thing . and i would really like to be a part of it . kevin : what about the part where you told me you were having problems with sharon , and that things were horrible and complicated , and you could n't un- know what you know ? mariah : there 's nothing going on ! nothing ! nada ! zilch ! so thank you very much and goodbye . you 've done your good deed for the day . you can cross it off the list and go back to doing whatever it is you do with natalie and your millions . kevin : you can trust me with it , mariah . you can trust me with anything . sharon : do n't apologize , nick . thinking i could be on the verge of an episode -- that 's not the worst thing you could imagine . nick : no , but i should trust your ability to handle your own condition in your way . you 've been doing a great job , sharon . and i just want to see that continue . and i think it 's great that you offered mariah sage 's old job with chelsea . sharon : you told him that , too ? dylan : this whole thing has been stressing you out . i wanted nick to understand why you have n't been yourself lately . sharon : nick , i 'm so sorry . nick : i 'm fine with you filling sage 's position . you have nothing to feel guilty about . you have a beautiful marriage and family and children . you 're living the dream , sharon . so no guilt . sharon : yes , but -- nick : no , no `` but '' s . enjoy what you have . you hang on to your family with both hands . i know better than anyone that it can be gone in an instant . so keep them close . hang on to them . dylan : the man speaks the truth . sharon : it 's just ... so unfair . nick : it 's life . and you 're not doing anything wrong by continuing to live yours . i do n't want you mired in sadness or grief . be happy for your blessings . move on . hilary : you heard us . it was just foundation business . devon : well , you know , the thing is , i 've , uh -- i 've also heard some other stuff about you and jack . hilary : okay . lily has a really big imagination . you can not possibly believe her . devon : my first instinct is , you know , of course not . but , you know , seeing you two with your heads together like this , it , uh , felt like a little more than business . hilary : what you probably felt was how uncomfortable jack was around me . before i collapsed , lily accused me of having designs on him right in front of him . it was embarrassing for everyone . i 'm not surprised that jack would tiptoe around me . devon : lily really did that ? hilary : devon , she 's still doing it . you 've been home , what , five minutes , and she has you doubting me . look , lily hates me . okay , i 've made mistakes . and i regret them . i 've done everything that i can to make things right . and i 'm tired of trying to prove myself ... apparently even to my husband , the man that i love . devon , please . do n't let lily do this to us . ashley : oh , great . you 're here . jack : actually , i 've been meaning to speak to you . ashley : i want to talk to you about hilary . just wait . wait . wait . she 's got you in her sights , jackie . jack : stop already . i have heard enough warnings about that poor woman for one day . ashley : did you say `` poor woman `` ? is it too late ? jack : it 's a figure of speech . ashley : and she 's a piece of work , jackie . just listen to me , okay ? she has mastered the art of playing the victim . jack : she is a valued asset . ashley : oh , and she wants to be so much more than that . jack : enough , already . she 's happily married . i 'm happily married . i am not being manipulated . ashley : you are being manipulated . you are . just consider yourself warned . jack : okay . now that i am warned , can we talk ? ashley : [ sighs ] yes , i want to say one more thing . jack : why am i not surprised ? ashley : i 'm thinking about stepping back from neville 's drug project . i want to go back to work at jabot . phyllis : i do n't even know what i was thinking . i do n't know what i was thinking . i mean , my husband 's brother , the weekend , here ? my god . he could knock on the door again . billy : i want to be with you , phyllis . phyllis : this picnic -- this picnic that you put together ... is inside because we ca n't have people see us together . and that is cheap . and that is dirty . and i do n't know when i became this woman . i do n't . and i ca n't do it . i ca n't . i have got to tell jack that the flight was canceled or that the investors rescheduled . [ sighs ] look , this lie would not be difficult to tell because i 've really told some whoppers lately . i even convinced myself that you and i could do this . this whole weekend , we could just be in each other 's arms , and -- [ inhales deeply ] it was crazy , and it was a stupid fantasy . billy : wait , please . esther : on the house . nick : thanks . esther : you know , it was really hard for me when mrs. c died , to move on . [ sighing ] oh , it was ... just as hard , too , when i lost my little delia . not to mention that chloe 's not even an active part of our lives anymore . she 's -- she 's just gone . and you wonder how the world can go on , but it does . and then one day , you feel the sun on your face . and you look around . and you realize that this is your life ... your precious life . and you need to go on , too . nick : [ voice breaking ] thanks . hey , uh , dylan , it 's me . um ... i changed my mind . i 'm giving you permission to exhume constance 's body again . i need to move on and get the truth for sage . mariah : why are you so close to me ? kevin : i did n't notice . i 'm just standing here . mariah : okay . well , you might want to take a step back , because i might do something crazy like throw a lip lock on you . and we would n't want that . kevin : [ sighs ] i know that we have struggled to figure out what this relationship is . mariah : you think ? kevin : and the way pass key played out , maybe you feel like you ca n't trust me anymore . but i 'm here to tell you that you can . i 'm your friend . i know you inside and out . i know that the more pain you 're in , the more you lash out . and i know that underneath all that snark is this crazy - big heart . so maybe you 're trying to help someone or protect someone . and maybe that someone is sharon . and maybe you feel like you 're in so deep , you ca n't see a way out , and maybe it 's tearing you apart . mariah : all right ! [ sighs ] all right . you 're right . i 'll tell you everything . lily : i should n't let hilary get to me . and there 's no point in shoving the truth in devon 's face . so you know what ? i 'm done . [ scoffs ] i 'm over it . i - i quit . cane : so that 's it . lily : [ sighs ] cane : you 're just gon na quit . lily : what else am i supposed to do ? cane : you do n't quit . and you do n't give up . you would take down godzilla to protect your family . lily : or hilary . [ sighs ] you know what ? if telling him about her wo n't do any good , maybe showing him will . i mean , all i have to do ... cane : [ chuckles ] lily : all we have to do ... cane : right . lily : ... is find a way to get him to see her for who she really is . cane : yeah . hilary : i can take the insults and the insinuations . i 've gotten used to them . but what breaks my heart ... ... is the one person that truly knows me , that understands me , would doubt me . do n't you know -- do n't you know how much i love you ? how much i need you ? jack : so you want to come back to jabot . ashley : yes . jack : interesting . ashley : it is interesting . i think it makes perfect sense . jack : okay , we can discuss that . but first , there is the matter of your paying a lab technician to alter the results of a medical trial ? ashley : i figured you were gon na hear about that . jack : what the hell were you thinking , ash ? you 're one of the most ethical people i know . now you 're paying a lab tech to alter the results ? you believe in this research . why would you cross that line ? why would you risk it ? ashley : exactly , because i do believe in that research , jack . it saved my life . and the sooner this drug is on the market , the sooner it 's gon na save a lot of other lives . jack : i could almost justify your doing this to give hope to other people -- almost . cutting corners is n't just bad business . in this case , it could put lives at risk . this is n't like you , which has me wondering , is this neville 's influence ? ashley : do n't blame him . jack : or is something going on that i do n't know about ? phyllis : i - i need to be with my husband . billy : listen . i know this is crazy . it 's crazy . and i know this is a fairy tale . and there 's a million reasons to walk out that door . but i do n't want you to . i want you to s -- i want you to stay here . i want you to stay so we can talk and laugh and ... i do n't know , work through awkward silences and uncomfortable pauses . i want to get to know you more . i want to know everything about you . and i want to know what it 's like to wake up to you in the morning . and when i open my eyes , i want my eyes to -- to see yours .

[ tapping fingers ] nah , you 're right . i have no interest in running dark horse . real estate is boring . but i do like this fancy office . top - of - the - line coffee maker in the kitchen . i get to send out memos on this cool stationery . victoria : you are a child . adam : no insults , okay ? victoria : i would like to come up with a financial arrangement to give this company back to nicholas . adam : well , i do n't need compensation . thanks to you , i am flush . victoria : i gave you that money to get you out of our lives , not for you to hurt nick . adam : i know that . you were my unwitting asset . or what is that other phrase -- `` useful idiot . `` oops . sorry . that slipped out . victoria : i want to make a deal . what will it take ? adam : look , i appreciate you trying to mediate this cain - and - abel thing that nick and i have going on . but my answer is no . dark horse was just the first step in geting what i want . nick : son of a bitch ! nate : hey . there you are . i , uh , called you earlier . elena : oh , sorry . i just got home . just wanted to get settled in first . nate : welcome back . elena : thanks . nate : how were , uh , jett 's first couple shows ? elena : great . he 's a natural . he wiped the dust off , got out there , and just did it . nate : and his , uh , voice ? elena : did n't falter at all . if you compare it to some of his first live gigs , could n't tell the difference . nate : that 's amazing . elena : yeah . it 's funny -- him being on the stage is exactly where he belongs . nate : man , i 'm so happy he 's able to do what he loves again . elena : me too . nate : think that means you can get back to doing what you love , too . elena : what do you mean ? nate : that 's why i was calling earlier . i spoke to the hiring manager about the emt position you interviewed for . asked if i could deliver the news myself . elena : ah , so you thought a friend should deliver the bad news ? nate : you got the job . elena : really ? nate : yeah . elena : oh , yes !

[ scoffs ] what a monster ? elena : it was n't about the money , per se . it was about the fact that he went behind my back and did n't talk to me about it . you know , i 'm independent , and i 've always paid my own way . and now i 'm living at his house rent - free . and the night that we finally , you know , he paid off my loans , and it made me feel really weird , you know ? nate : okay , okay . i can see how you might have taken it that way . but that is not devon 's m.o . at all . elena : well , i tried to tell him how i felt about it , and i could tell he did n't understand . nate : i think you guys are misunderstanding each other . devon 's family , so i might be a bit biased , but maybe i can help you see where he 's coming from . michael : so ... what evidence do you have that , uh , chloe might still be alive ? kevin : i 've been living with her for the past two years . michael : [ scoffs ] kevin : she faked her death . i found out right after the funeral , when she opened up her own casket and popped out . michael : like a horror movie . kevin : scared me so bad i passed out . and it just got crazier from there . michael : it got crazier ... kevin : okay , the details are n't important , but i created a new identity for her , and we 've been living in portland ever since . michael : so , when you said that you needed to leave town to start a new life , you were n't kidding . now , if i would have know , if i would have -- kevin : i know ! i hated lying to you , but i had to protect bella and chloe . michael : yeah , i get that ! i get that ! so you guys were there , just living happily ever after ? ! kevin : until you called and said adam was alive . michael : well , i did n't know chloe was alive , too ! and only one person should be allowed to come back from the dead at a time ! kevin : yeah . [ sighs ] i knew she was gon na find out about adam eventually , and i thought that she should hear it from me . michael : oh . and then she lost it ? kevin : no . actually , i thought she handled it really well . she did n't even argue when i said we should move out of our house to be safe . [ sighs ] then she disappeared . michael : she went after adam again . kevin : when i heard he 'd been shot , i knew it was her . michael : and he survived again . kevin : yeah , he -- he got some thug in vegas to confess to the shooting so he could carry out his own version of justice . michael : why ? what did he do ? is chloe okay ? kevin : he 's been holding her captive . so i came here to get her back . michael : wait , so -- so you came here to get her back . you think he was keeping her in this room ? but she escaped ? kevin : we -- no . michael : then why are we here , kevin ? kevin : [ inhales sharply ] that -- that 's a whole other story . victoria : you know , it does n't have to be like this . adam : i could n't agree more . none of this had to happen . victoria : then make it right . adam : i never made it wrong , victoria . i merely did what i had to do . what any parent would do . victoria : there is still time to turn things around . adam : if i give dark horse back to nick , we 're suddenly gon na be some big , happy family ? victoria : it would be the first good step in putting things behind us . adam : you 're just trying to assuage your guilt . the question is , how far are you willing to go ? victoria : try me . adam : okay . uh ... how about i give nick his company back and i take the c.e.o . job at newman . would that work for you as a fair exchange ? victoria : that 's not happening . adam : mm . so , basically , you are willing to do anything to help nick , as long as it does n't interfere with your own ambition . victoria : ambition is not a dirty word . not in our family , it 's not . adam : mm . nick : adam ! where are you ? ! adam : someone got my special delivery . nick : you 're lucky i do n't shove those papers right down your throat . adam : afternoon , nicholas . victoria : what 's wrong ? what happened ? nick : adam 's suing me for full custody of christian . oh my goodness ! mariah : you have to know that your money is always going to be a factor in your relationships . devon : yeah , but i do n't sit down on the first date and broadcast how much money i have . i do n't do that on any dates . mariah : no , i know , because you 're an amazing , grounded , wonderful guy , and anybody that ends up in a relationship with you is going to be very fortunate because of the overall great guy that you are . devon : i appreciate you saying that , but i 'm not following . what 's ... ? mariah : okay . [ sighs ] let 's say that you invite someone on a first date ... devon : mm - hmm . mariah : ... and you go to the gcac . well , you guys are sitting down , and she comments on how nice the place is , and why you chose it . well , you 're not gon na lie . so you 're five minutes in , and she already knows that you own the joint . and then let 's say you go on a second date , and you choose society . well , then , that same process starts over again . devon : mm . mariah : let 's say it goes well , and then she goes back to your penthouse -- devon : i get it . i get you . mariah : and even if none of those scenarios occur , people still love an online search . which brings me back to the very first thing i said , which is , your money is always going to be a factor in your relationships . and women are gon na treat it very , very differently . i mean , hilary saw it as the billion- dollar frosting on the cake . devon : [ chuckles ] mariah : and when you and i were dating , i could never reciprocate any of the grand gestures that you did , and i was okay with that . others may not be . devon : right . i do n't expect elena to reciprocate anything , though . mariah : i know that . and you know what , she probably does , too . but that was a big , bold move . i mean , right out of the gate . you guys are still just getting to know each other . and it 's not like you took her on a fancy date or you bought her a purse . i mean , you paid off thousands of dollars of debt . and i know that your heart is in the right place , but ... you kind of took away her agency . it 's like what you wanted to do for her mattered more than what she wanted . devon : all right . i -- the last thing i want to do is make her feel powerless . mariah : but that 's kind of what you did . and i very much doubt she wants to be indebted to the guy that she 's dating . devon : so you 're saying i made her feel like we 're not equals . and then , when she tried to tell me , i did n't hear it . mariah : yeah . devon : yeah . mariah : you hear it now ? devon : yeah , i do . mariah : good . devon : i do . mariah : well , then , uh , quit talking to me and go find her . devon : i just hope it 's not too late . thank you so much for talking to me . mariah : you 're so welcome . devon : see ya . mariah : see ya . devon : [ smooches ] bye . nate : devon is generous with his money because he knows what it 's like to be broke . he had nothing until he went to live with neil and dru . elena : yeah , he told me . and i can appreciate that . but that does n't mean he gets to make decisions about my life . nate : i get it . and i 'm surprised devon does n't , because he 's been where you are . when he inherited all that money from katherine chancellor , he struggled with it . felt guilty because he did n't earn it . then he realized how much good he could do with it , and his feelings changed . devon helps kids and strangers . he paid off everyone 's layaway account at fenmore 's last christmas . elena : and all of that is amazing . but i 'm not a kid . nor am i a stranger in need . i 'm his partner . nate : he probably thought he was helping you the same way he helped jett . you did n't have a problem with that . elena : that 's not the same . jett does n't make out with devon . nate : [ chuckles ] all i 'm saying is , devon has a giving spirit . like neil . that 's just who he is . i just ca n't see devon doing what he did to make you feel small or to get one over on you . elena : and you 're probably right . but he still discounted my feelings . and if i have a problem with something , he has to be able to hear it . otherwise ... it 's a deal - breaker . nate : okay , here 's what i would say -- go talk it out with him . give him one more chance . kevin : i needed some leverage to get chloe back . so i came to town , i laid low , and i spied on adam . michael : [ groans ] i do n't like the way this is going . kevin : i saw him with phyllis a few times and i figured they were a couple . so i kidnapped her . to trade for chloe . michael : what the hell ? kevin ! phyllis and adam are n't a couple . they 're like two human porcupines ! it would never work ! kevin : i 'm aware of that now . michael : you could n't get your facts straight before you [ inhales deeply ] committed multiple felonies ? ! kevin : i told you you did n't want to know . michael : well , for once , you 're right ! nick : if you gave a damn about this kid you suddenly want to father , you would not be ripping him away from his home and the people who love him . adam : i admit , you have been a decent stand - in for me . but now it is time for christian to know his real dad . nick : no , his real dad reads him books every night , and takes him to ball games while you 've been skulking around in vegas doing god knows what . adam : you 're right . and the years i lost only made me realize how big a void there is in my life , how badly i want to know my kid , and how important it is for him to know me . nick : i am never giving him up , ever . adam : my lawyers will be asking for a new dna test . i will prove that he 's mine . victoria : you 're a bastard . adam : oh . you 're still here . and i see that the gloves are off . i 've hired the best lawyers money can buy , and i can afford to fight for as long as it takes . because i have a brand - new , almost embarrassingly huge infusion of cash . nick : no amount of money will ever buy you my son . victoria : what is wrong with you ? this is how you show your love for christian ? it 's so twisted ! adam : hey , i made nick a perfectly acceptable offer . he refused . so he left me no choice but to take him to court . victoria : you always have a choice . and you chose to hurt him in the worst possible way . and christian ! think about that . adam : okay , christian is all that i think about . victoria : this is gon na come back to haunt you . adam : i see that you have moved on from insults to threats . and that 's fine . because i 'm nothing but grateful to you . you turned everything around for me . i owe all of this to you . nick : michael , it 's me . i need to talk to you now . adam 's suing me for custody of christian . michael : so , you made a series of mistakes , massive errors in judgment that led us to here -- this moldy hole in the wall . kevin : i - i do n't need your attitude . i have enough to deal with right now . michael : you 're right . i 'm sorry . this is n't getting us anywhere . nick and summer ca n't stop worrying about phyllis . paul is looking into her disappearance , so where -- she 's the one who escaped . of course she did . because you 're you and she 's phyllis . kevin : this is n't funny . look , adam must at least care about her a little , because he agreed to let chloe go if i deliver her to him . no clue what i 'm gon na do now . michael : you should have come to me the second chloe went missing . [ kevin huffs ] i am here now , and we are gon na fix this . kevin : what are you doing ? michael : i 'm gon na call paul , i 'm gon na tell him what happened and beg for leniency on your par -- was that really necessary ? ! look , this whole story is gon na come out eventually , so we should try to get ahead of it . kevin : you ca n't tell the police . if they find chloe , they will lock her up , and she 's gon na spend the rest of her life in a prison psych ward . michael : [ sighs ] do n't take this the wrong way , kevin , but chloe has a history of attempting to murder adam , so maybe a psych ward is not such a bad idea . kevin : that would be the worst possible place for her . yes , she made a mistake going after adam again , but -- michael : no , no , no . shooting someone is not an `` oopsie - daisy . `` kevin : [ sighs ] look , adam -- adam triggers something in chloe 's brain where it just clicks , and she becomes a different person . but there is so much more to her that that . absent of adam , we have a great life . a happy home . and she is a terrific mother to bella . if you call the cops , bella could lose both of her parents , because i will go down right alongside chloe . michael : which is why we should plead our case to paul now , to -- kevin : no . michael : before you get caught . michael : no ! there is no way he and christine show me any mercy . you know it 's true . please . just help me get chloe back to bella . i promise you , once we are home , i will make sure she gets the help she needs . and i promised adam that she will never step foot near him again . i will make sure of that . but no one can ever know what really has happened . michael : you are putting me in a terrible position . kevin : you put yourself there when you followed me . michael : does phyllis know you 're the one who nabbed her ? did she see your face ? kevin : i do n't think so . i was very careful . and it 's not like adam can afford to admit what he 's done , either . michael : what , so -- so , phyllis is free , and adam just brings chloe back and returns her , and that 's the end of it ? this is adam we 're talking about . it ca n't be that simple . kevin : it 's not . quite . there 's one more condition . michael : well , there 's the other shoe . kevin : he wants me to stay in town a while and help him out . michael : help him out with what ? kevin : i do n't know . michael : no . that 's bad . that 's not happening . who knows what he might ask you to do . kevin : i do n't care . i will do anything to get chloe back . michael : [ inhales deeply ] all right . okay . maybe that 's our best option for now . kevin : it is . i promise you . michael : i hope so . kevin : i have to go . adam needs an update . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . elena : devon ? are you home ? [ jingles keys ] devon ? devon : hey . elena : hi . devon : i 'm glad you 're back . i was n't really sure if you 'd want to see me after the way we left things . elena : i , um ... had a lot of time to think about things . and my feelings have n't really changed or gone away , but ... i feel like we owe it to ourselves to at least talk about this . devon : i completely agree with you . i 'd love to talk . adam : i was wondering when i would hear from you . what 's the , uh , status on phyllis ? kevin : she 's back out in the world . adam : mm - hmm . how did she react when you let her go ? kevin : um ... we never came face - to - face . adam : huh . that 's a rare smart move on your part . where is she now ? kevin : i do n't know . adam : meaning you do n't know if she went back to the suite to take a bubble bath or straight to the police station ? kevin : if she went to the cops , she 's not gon na be able to tell them much . so , let 's finish our deal . phyllis goes free . i get chloe . adam : something 's not feeling right . afraid i 'm gon na need more than your word to prove you followed through , kev . kevin : i did everything you asked . adam : then why are you lying about it ? michael : i 'd be more than happy to help you fight this , but , uh , i 'm a little surprised you want me . nick : you know , i despised you for representing my father in our custody battle . but you succeeded . christian went home with his grandfather because you were willing to do whatever it took to win . and i need you to do that for me now . michael : i fight for my clients . that 's what i do . but i was on the wrong side of that one . nick : well , you 're on the right side now . adam does n't just get to change his mind , out of the blue decide he wants to be a father again . i know him . he gets bored easily , then he moves on to the next shiny thing . well , what happens when he does that to my son ? i am not gon na let him ruin this little boy 's life because of some delusional father / son relationship he 's cooked up in his mind . michael : okay . it should n't be too hard to find a few things that might disqualify him as a parent . my guess is that he has n't been a saint since he 's been home . nick : he is the same evil , vindictive bastard he has always been . but we need to teach him a lesson -- that he does n't just get to play god with other people 's lives . michael : you 're absolutely right . and it would be my pleasure to help you do that . elena : oh , i , um ... i saw those thank - you cards . what are they for ? devon : my old elementary school was , uh , running low on computers , so i donated a few . elena : what 's `` a few `` ? devon : 50 . elena : 50 . devon : yeah . 50 . and i 'm not gon na feel bad about doing it , either . elena : i do n't want you to feel bad about it . i think it 's wonderful . and i understand that , for you , buying 50 computers is like buying a cup of coffee . devon : yeah . i wish the school would have kept the donation anonymous . but it 's nice to read the -- the notes from the kids . i know what you 're thinking . elena : no , you don't . devon : you 're right . i don't . but i hope that you 're not thinking that i treated you like a cause . or like i just -- i tried to solve all your problems by writing a check like some big shot . elena : that 's not what i was thinking . in that exact order . but you 're right . you know , i 'm not one of your charities . devon : i know you 're not . i know . and i understand how i made you feel like it . elena : yeah , and i do n't need anyone to rescue me . i need someone to stand by my side . devon : that 's all i want to do . when you told me how upset it made you , i should have listened to you . i -- i never meant to make you feel like i was disrespecting you . 'cause i respect you like crazy . and i care about you just the same . so , i hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for what i did . kevin : everything i said is true . phyllis is at large . watch out , genoa city . adam : do i need to remind you what 's at stake here ? kevin : fine . i went to let her go , and when i got there , she was already gone . adam : [ scoffs ] you ... you miserable oaf . kevin : what ? you wanted her free . she 's free . so give me chloe . we 're done . adam : you are in no position to make demands . we said once phyllis had her freedom , we would take it from there . okay ? so let 's talk about what comes next . nick : great . [ sighs ] you , uh , feel like you can screw me over and then just walk into my house uninvited ? victoria : i did n't think you would open the door if i knocked . nick : well , you 'd be right . victoria : then i did the right thing . i came here to apologize . nick : for giving adam enough money to steal my life ? victoria : i never envisioned what he would do with that money that i gave to him . nick : well , we both agree on that , vick . victoria : but if you remember , we both thought that adam was ready to walk away from genoa city and start a new life with chelsea . that was his plan before he was presumed dead . and when chelsea and connor were in his life , he was never interested in christian . that 's why i gave him her number . nick : well , that did n't work out very well , either . victoria : i thought she would be happy to hear that he was alive , nick . nick : well , you gave adam too much credit . so did dad . and now christian is the one who 's paying for it . victoria : [ sighs ] how can we make this right ? i - i want to help you . i mean , maybe if we put our heads together , we can think of something . nick : no . no , you 've done more than enough already . just ... leave . please . victoria : nicholas -- nick : vick , lock the door on your way out .

[ door closes ] jack : summer ! nick : thank god . summer : have you seen austin ? is he okay ? dylan : i was really hoping that i would be able to help paul . if i could , i absolutely would . i just wanted to let you know . nikki ? are you okay ? nikki : yes , i -- i 'm just worried . dylan : is something else going on ? more than what 's happening with paul ? nikki : i know how badly you wanted to help him . i do n't like to see you hurting . dylan : look , obviously i do n't know you as well as nick and victoria do , but ... i can tell when you 're not saying something . nikki : all right . you deserve to know . victor tracked down willa ward . dylan : he found her . how ? nikki : i do n't ask those questions . all i know is she is here in town right now . dylan : did she talk ? or is she playing games ? what exactly does she have on my father ? jack : where 's the lawyer i sent in there ? he 's supposed to protect you . summer : yeah , the police are n't charging me , so i told him he could go . nick : good . no charges ? that is great . jack : they 're not letting paul 's condition color their vision . nick : all right , we 're gon na get you out of here . summer : i ca n't go . where 's austin ? jack : he 's in the interrogation room , after which he will go to his cell . summer : oh , my god . nick : a cell is where this kid belongs . he 's a dangerous criminal , and he 's lucky he 's in one piece after what he 's done to avery , paul , and you . summer : okay , no matter what austin 's done , he is n't what you think he is . jack : summer , paul williams is fighting for his life right now because of austin 's bullet . you really want to defend a guy like that ? avery : we spend a lot of time together , you and me . this time no camera , no cooking . and no gun . austin : how 's the chief ? avery : the internal damage is extensive . he might not make it . which means the charges could be increased . austin : i know , and i confessed , and i just -- he 's not alone , is he ? he has family ? avery : yes . they 're very worried . austin : but he could make it . not for me . i 'm not saying that . i 'm just -- he can make it . avery : we hope so . austin : i hate guns . that 's how my mother was killed . gun , a killer , a bullet . i never wanted -- avery : austin , i believe you . austin : i confessed . i know what i am , okay ? and -- [ scoffs ] what do you want from me ? why are you still here ? nikki : of course , willa wanted money . dylan : figures . that 's why she ditched me and went straight to victor -- deeper pockets . nikki : which i 'm sure you would have conveyed to her if you had caught up with her since . that 's probably what victor authorized you to do in the first place . dylan : willa thinks like ian , taking advantage of people to get what she wants . nikki : there are a lot of evil people in the world . but an awful lot of good ones , too . dylan : like paul . and i ca n't help him . even though my blood type matches , even though it was my fault that he walked into that situation with austin , i ca n't fix it . nikki : for a very noble reason . i mean , everything that you did in the war -- you saved countless people . [ sighs ] it 's not your fault your body -- dylan : but how do the doctors really know , anyway ? i could be fine . nikki : or you could die . now , you ca n't trade your life for paul 's . i 'm not planning on losing either one of you . victor : stitch , in my opinion , i 've lived longer than you . there 's always a solution to any problem . you just got to look hard enough , you know ? stitch : i agree , and that means i 'm gon na do my damnedest to find a donor for paul . victor : i know you will , and i want you to know that i respect paul williams a lot , all right ? he and nikki have known each other probably since they were teenagers . they 're fond of each other . so i want you to do everything you can to find a donor . stitch : that 's how you raised victoria , is n't it ? complete support . victor : you bet . you may have not have heard that i love my children and grandchildren more than almost anything else in my life , okay ? so , if victoria brings another newman into the world , i 'll be very proud . especially if you happen to be the father . stitch : she told you ? victor : you bet . i 'm her dad . stitch : it 's complicated . victor : [ laughs ] love always is , stitch . stitch : and that does n't bother you ? victor : it bothers me , as far as victoria 's concerned . you know , she is worried ... about who the father may be . but as a grandparent , i 've got to tell you that i prefer you to be the father . i 've great respect for what you 've accomplished . you have a medical degree , you went to medical school , and you 're an army vet . i respect that a great deal . i certainly prefer you as a father to that degenerate , hopeless alcoholic billy abbott . victoria : ben told me the whole story . you know , it 's shocking . it 's really -- it 's kind of horrifying . you think you know exactly what somebody is capable of , and then they just take it to the next level . kelly : look , i -- i hate that you had to find out . but i 'm glad that he told you , and i 'm glad that it 's out in the open now . victoria : i really hate that this happened , too . and i hate the lying , and i hate the covering up . kelly : i hope you told him that . victoria : believe me . i certainly intend to when he gets back from australia . kelly : wait , uh -- victoria : traipsing off with chelsea to melbourne to dig around in ben 's past when it 's clearly none of their business . kelly : oh . yeah . billy . victoria : yeah , billy . so ... thank you , as bizarre as that may sound . thanks for warning ben about what billy was up to . kelly : well , you know , billy might ... still find something out or ben could tell you himself . victoria : yeah , well , that 's between ben and me . but what i still do n't understand is after your history with billy and , clearly , your dislike of ben ... why would you warn him ? why would you say anything at all ? chelsea : jenna , it 's great to see you again . we just need a little more background information before we bring in our camera crew . billy : between your cheekbones and your story , you 're really doing us a big favor . you know , expats down under is good tv . jenna : right . your documentary . the one that does n't exist . yeah , thank you for your business card . the contact number goes to a deli in new york . so before i tell you to get out , why do n't you tell me what you 're really doing here . chelsea : that 's crazy about the number -- a deli ? no . you must have mis- dialed . jenna : get out . chelsea : okay , you 're right . the tv thing was a front . we 're human rights workers looking into the exploitation of expats . jenna : seriously ? is that the best that you can do ? do i look exploited to you ? billy : you 're right . she 's usually a better liar than that , but , uh , you put her on the spot . jenna : this is n't amusing . having you lie your way into my home . billy : well , i think your ex - husband has lied his way into my home . with my wife and my son . jenna : your wife ? chelsea : that 's the reason we 're here . it 's because of ben . and billy 's wife , victoria . jenna : you know what ? ben is single . we are divorced , so i do n't care what he does . billy : yeah , how about the fact that your son may now have a little brother or sister ? stitch moved in on my wife when we were going through some difficult times and now she 's pregnant . jenna : it 's still not my problem . billy : you divorced the guy . and you took your kid and moved halfway around the world . that 's not because stitch is an upstanding citizen . okay ? and now he is alone with my wife and my son , and i know it . i can feel it . they are not safe with him . so tell me what stitch has done so i can protect my family . my wife and my son . and the unborn baby , no matter who the father is . tell me what stitch did . victoria : i know what ben told you , but the question is why ? things seemed pretty odd between the two of you when you were in my house . but i just chalked that up to the fact that you slept with my husband and then had the decency to feel awkward in my home . victoria : ben tells me that you know each other , but you 're not that close . but then this happens . i mean , did you tell him for my sake ? kelly : ben needed to know . victoria : ben ? not me ? so you did it for him . answer my question . why ? stitch : hey . more toast ? you feeling okay ? victoria : yeah . i 'm okay . how 's paul ? stitch : no change . kelly : you two need to talk . and i need my coffee . excuse me . stitch : i , uh , saw your dad at the icu . he is all about finding a liver for paul . victoria : i 'm sure some vague bribe went along with that . stitch : [ chuckles ] victoria : it 's for my mother , you know . she and paul have decades of history together , and when she 's hurting , he 'd do anything to help her . stitch : or anything to help you . he and i -- that was a good talk . about you and the baby . very good . victoria : so then he gave you his blessing . he must like you . stitch : or he just hates billy that much . victoria : i think my father sees in you what i see . stitch : you know , we did n't get to talk the other day about things . your mom came in and i had to take that call from the hospital . victoria : do you want to talk now ? dylan : sorry to interrupt . stitch , i really need to talk to you . stitch : mac , can it wait ? dylan : no , it ca n't . we 're running out of time . [ door opens ] victor : there you are ! nikki : hi . victor : the guards told me you were here . nikki : yep . victor : hi , sweetheart . mm . [ sighs ] so , did you tell dylan about ian ward 's ex - wife ? nikki : he was so upset when i spoke to him . you know , the hospital wo n't let him be a donor for paul . victor : i know . nikki : 'cause of his war injuries . victor : dr. rayburn told me , but he also promised me that he 'd do everything in his power to find a donor . nikki : that 's good news , i suppose . victor : yeah . so , did you give dylan the information ? nikki : victor , i just could n't . to tell him that -- let him know that the man who might be his father , that he ca n't help him . i just could n't make him suffer like that . victor : although it 's about dylan 's life . nikki : well , yes , but we think we know who is father is , but we know for a fact who his mother is , and i just ca n't put him through that heartache . victor : now you understand that sometimes it is kinder to keep certain truths away from our children . nikki : i know you 're making a point . victor : yep . nikki : and i have to say ... i do understand why you have kept some secrets from the kids . victor : so you agree with me ? nikki : well , i do n't know that we 're in agreement , but i can see your point of view . victor : you can ? well , that 's a step in the right direction . now , if we find out that whatever ian ward 's ex - wife claims is true -- nikki : if -- exactly . and dylan was conceived years ago . i mean , maybe willa could n't get pregnant when she knew him , but years ago when i knew him , it was possible . i 'm just not going to upend dylan 's life on a maybe . victor : you know what i admire about dylan ? is his willingness to want to help paul williams . nikki : so you admire him . victor : yeah , he seems a nice guy . and had a few talks with him . we reached a certain level of understanding , i think . nikki : well , he 's the same man that he was when he came to town . very loyal , honest , earnest . i 'm really happy to hear that you see it now . victor : well , i did n't know him before . but let me say this -- whatever admirable traits he does have ... he inherited them from you . nikki : does that mean ... you accept him as my son ? victor : sweetheart , you 're his mother . whether i accept him or not , that does n't change the fact that you 're his mother . dylan : paul only has a few days , so how much closer are you to finding a donor ? stitch : not closer at all . dylan : i 'm right here . stitch : okay , rule number one of the hippocratic oath , `` do no harm . `` cutting you open with your medical history would harm you plenty . dylan : well , should n't it be my choice ? stitch : should n't it also be the choice of the doctor who 's operating on you ? i 've seen your medical records , mac . you 're banged up . you do n't even have a spleen . dylan : yeah , but i have a liver , and i want to give part of it to paul . what 's the problem ? stitch : okay , you need to stop this . one thing doctors and soldiers have in common is sometimes no matter how hard you try , you ca n't save someone . dylan : like i do n't know that . stitch : paul is n't sully . at least you were there with him in the field . i mean , i was back in the states . dylan : with your wife and kid where you belonged . stitch : and now they 're the ones thousands of miles away . if i get this chance , if -- [ sighs ] if the baby is mine , then i can do it all over again . dylan : whoa , whoa . who ? stitch : victoria . dylan : victoria ? you and victoria ? stitch : yes . dylan : she 's pregnant and it 's not billy 's ? stitch : well , she 's not exactly sure yet . dylan : because you and my sister -- stitch : hey , it was one time . dylan : that 's all it takes . stitch : to kill a night , you know ? dylan : you were supposed to back off and give her some room . stitch : mac , i care about victoria . and regardless of who the father is ... i 'm not backing off . dylan : [ sighs ] nick : all right , we 're gon na talk more about this later , but we 're gon na get you home , and you 're not going to the penthouse . you 're either gon na go to jack 's or to my place . summer : i 'm not gon na go anywhere until i see austin . [ cell phone rings ] jack : hi , kelly . kelly : hi . um , is this a bad time ? i just want to see whether you managed to talk to summer . jack : oh , we 're trying . she 's still standing behind this guy , even after what he did to paul williams . [ sighs ] i just -- i ca n't believe she does n't see that this guy is dangerous and he 's gon na bring her down . kelly : well , you know , sometimes the hardest part of being a parent is when you realize you ca n't protect them . i wish i could be there for you , jack . i just -- i think it would be hard on summer , you know ? jack : no , i 'm glad you called . i needed to hear your voice . god , to see her so torn up over this delinquent . kelly : look , you 're there . and you 'll be there for her when she needs you to pick up the pieces . nick : summer . summer : i just want to check on him and make sure he stays in one piece . nick : you got to give the people on the force more credit than that . i mean , courtney 's one of them . summer : i just want to see him . and since that drives you crazy , then maybe you should go in there with jack . he knows how to back off . nick : all right , sweetheart , you told me that things were very complicated with austin and this was before you knew why he was in town . i mean , why was he in avery 's apartment ? to gain her trust , to gain your trust . summer : i was n't part of some plan . nick : but he did have a plan . he bought a gun and paul nearly died from it . summer : yeah , it was an accident . nick : so you say he did not hold avery at gunpoint ? summer : look , i know austin and what he did was terrible , but that 's not what he is . nick : then what is he ? summer : really ? really ? you do n't even want to know . nick : he confessed and he 's gon na go to prison . and the sooner you accept the fact that he 's not gon na be a part of your life , the better off you 'll be . i 'm just so grateful that things did n't get out of hand between you two . austin : why are you staring at me ? what do you expect me to say ? avery : you waived your right to an attorney and you made a full confession . austin , you can take responsibility for your actions without throwing away all your rights . allow them to assign you a public defender if you ca n't afford an attorney . austin : no , they 'll give me someone like you . someone who put murderers back on the streets to kill people . avery : that 's not what i do . austin : okay , i have one question . just one and then you need to go . the man who went on to kill my mother -- did you really believe he was innocent when you helped him go free ? avery : [ sighs ] nick : summer , this past year , i know i hurt you in the worst possible way . that and you being an adult now , maybe i do n't have the right to give you advice . summer : maybe ? nick : sweetheart , i love you . you know that . and seeing you in danger or at risk , i ca n't just say nothing . your mother would kill me . you are so much like phyllis . you feel things deep down . which means you also get hurt deep down . and adults make mistakes all the time that hurt like hell , and i do n't want that to happen to you . victor : dylan was asking again , was n't he ? to see if he can still be paul 's donor . dylan : among other things . yeah , i asked about paul . stitch : and the answer is still no . but i got to get back to memorial . when my shift 's over , maybe we could have that talk . victor : yeah , of course . whenever you 're ready . stitch : all right . kelly : ben . stitch : i got to get to work . kelly : you have n't told victoria yet . have you ? stitch : look , i keep trying but stuff gets in the way . and the longer this gets dragged out , hell , maybe i 'm not supposed to tell her . kelly : if you do n't , somebody will , and you know it will be awful . stitch : yeah , i know . i lived through it once and lost my family . dylan : so , decaf for you from now on ? victor : ben told you i 'm pregnant . dylan : congratulations . he also said there was some question regarding -- victoria : billy is the father or if ben is the father -- that 's an uncomfortable topic . dylan : okay , well , we know one thing for sure . that i 'm gon na be an uncle . victoria : you are . dylan : right . faith , johnny , summer -- man , i 'm really gon na have to step it up this christmas . victoria : unless you want to run screaming from this insane family . dylan : you know , after faith , you were the first newman to be nice to me , and that 's before we found out we were family . and i 'll never forget that . victoria : i 'm glad you 're my brother , dylan . dylan : yeah , i 'm glad , too . there 's something to be said for having family . billy : whatever happened between you and rayburn , whatever he is capable of -- jenna : good luck to your wife , victoria . she 'll need it . now i 'd really like for you to leave . billy : you tell me that my wife needs luck and then you expect me to walk out the door ? what did that slimeball do ? chelsea : listen . listen . it was n't all lies before , the things that i said to you . i do have a son , and i am raising him without his father . and just like you and max , all i want to do is protect him . that 's all billy 's trying to do , is protect his wife . jenna : my god ! you do not give up , do you ? chelsea : jenna , is there anything you can tell us about ben ? billy : just tell us about kelly . tell us about kelly at least . i mean , what is all of that ? what is she to him ? jenna : kelly ? she 's there ? what did she tell you ? billy : just that she and ben used to know each other . but they always dodge the issue . chelsea : jenna . is kelly the reason you and stitch broke up ? chelsea : whatever connection chelsea : whatever connection ben and kelly have , it 's obvious there is one . billy : if he stepped out , that 's his fault . it 's not yours . jenna : [ scoffs ] i do n't need your reassurance . look , you 're here because your wife does n't want you anymore . it has nothing to do with me , so let her go . leave her alone . chelsea : that 's you talking to stitch . i think you want him out of your life . billy : because of kelly , right ? jenna : kelly is not innocent , but what ben did -- [ scoffs ] his lies . billy : what lies ? why are you protecting him ? jenna : i do n't give a damn what happens to ben . billy : well , if not him , then who ? jenna : get out ! chelsea : okay , he 's sorry . honestly , we both are . jenna : i mean it ! get out ! before i call the police ! chelsea : okay . okay . [ door opens ] billy : victoria is my whole life . [ scoffs ] [ door closes ] kelly : the last time that i saw you , you were on your way to tell her , so i do n't get it . what happened ? billy is gon na be back soon , and even if jenna does n't tell him , he 's not gon na give up . and if jack finds out any of this -- stitch : it wo n't come to that . kelly : you understand it has to be now . stitch : once my shift is over . when i have time to make her understand . kelly : you really think she 'll understand ? [ cell phone rings ] stitch : jenna . nikki : well , you have made me so happy and proud that you 've changed your opinion of dylan . victor : well , let me just say that i think he 's a rather decent fellow , you know ? but that does n't mean i 'm gon na spend time with him . nikki : no , no , no . for now . i understand . victor : truth be told , i admire the fact that he is willing to donate one of his organs to a man that he does n't really know that well . that he knows that you care for paul williams . that 's why he 's doing it . i admire that . nikki : well , really , all that we have in this life are the people that we love and care about . and all we want is time with them . victor : that is true . nikki : i 've had a lot of time to think about things lately . victor : what have you thought ? nikki : oh , lots of things . um , i 've thought about what you did to sharon . and i 'm afraid i can not forgive you for that . victor : oh , i do n't care if you forgive me for that or not . i 'm not asking for forgiveness . nikki : well , forgiveness or not ... i do love you . and i want to spend more time with you . austin : yes or no ? avery : [ sighs ] austin : did you honestly believe that scum was innocent when you defended him ? avery : yes . yes , austin , i did . austin : maybe you were wrong . maybe he was guilty all along . what ? you 've never been wrong before ? avery : no , austin , i 've been wrong ... many times about people . in fact , i became a defense attorney because somebody that i loved very much i felt was wrongly convicted , and it turned out he was guilty . austin : see ? avery : but , austin ... deep down , i knew the truth . i just did n't want to see it because ... it was my own father . now , with boz foreman , i believe he was innocent of the charges that i defended him against . i still believe that . what happened after that , i do n't know . and i am truly sorry about what happened to your mother . i know my apology does n't bring her back , but neither does your rage . it just keeps you in that chair . summer : i should be in there with him . jack : you 're not his lawyer . you 're not his family . summer : no , but i 'm the only person who cares about him . nick : and does he care about you ? 'cause him taking you on the run with him was selfish as hell . it 's about what he wanted , not what 's good for you . avery : you know , when you came into my home and you ordered me around , you joked that i took too long . i did n't think you were a bad guy . and even when i found out you were 4mj and you insisted that i take responsibility for your mother 's death , i thought you and i could both walk away from this . but then the gun , austin . and then things got out of control , and now paul 's wife is terrified she 's gon na lose him . austin : she can blame me . okay ? i confessed . i admitted what i did . so should you . [ door opens ] summer : are you okay ? avery : summer , you ca n't be in here . austin : she 's right . you should n't be here . summer : no . this is exactly where i should be . dylan : [ chuckles ] what ? victoria : you know , milk and cookies . people might try to accuse us of recreating the childhood that we never had . dylan : well , maybe i love cookies . or maybe i just wanted an excuse to talk to you and make sure you 're doing okay . victoria : why ? just because i 'm finally pregnant after years of infertility ? because i 'm separated from my husband and i do n't know who the father is ? dylan : yeah , all that . victoria : you 're not gon na judge me , are you ? dylan : not a chance . victoria : i really appreciate that . and you 're not gon na say , `` wow . stitch sure would make a great father . `` stitch : ah , you know , the guy 's on the ugly side . he 's got real beady eyes . victoria : [ chuckles ] dylan : look , stitch and i go way back . but billy 's a good guy , too , so i 'm not gon na judge . i 'm not gon na offer an opinion . i want things to work out for you in the best way possible . victoria : i know . but you know what ? what is the best way possible ? no matter what , somebody 's gon na get hurt . i just know the one person that ca n't be effected in all this is the baby . billy : what is with that woman ? she gave us nothing on stitch . whatever happened to throwing people under the bus ? chelsea : well , at least we know that kelly is a major player in this . i mean , i assume it 's an affair . billy : she was weird about that , right ? that there was more to it ? chelsea : yeah , i mean , she definitely seemed surprised that kelly and stitch still have contact . billy : not even knowing about kelly and i . chelsea : yeah . billy : now she 's seeing my brother . what 's with her ? she seems honest enough . there 's something underneath , right ? chelsea : right . so , if we ca n't dig into stitch 's past ... it 's time we dig into kelly 's . stitch : billy and chelsea were there ? jenna : yes . they gave fake names and lied their way in , but , yeah . desperate to know all about me and all about you . stitch : what did you tell them ? jenna : nothing . but on the message , you said you were gon na tell the woman yourself . victoria ? who might be pregnant with your child ? stitch : they told you . fine . but i meant what i said . victoria will hear it from me . not billy . jenna : she should n't hear it from anyone . stitch : what does that mean ? jenna : it means you lied to me and max . you can lie to the new love of your life . i moved so that max would not be tainted by what you did . and this -- this can never ever get back to him . if you tell victoria and she tells other people -- look , i moved once to get away from what you did and i can move again . and this time ... i wo n't tell you where we are . stitch : jenna , are you saying -- jenna : i 'm saying if you want contact with your son , keep your disgusting past to yourself ! jack : great . we 're both standing out here . she 's in there with 4mj . perfect . just perfect . nick : just talked her way right into that interrogation room . jack : avery needs to send her back out here . nick : but avery has n't . what is summer even saying to him ? jack : people make the strangest choices . even as adults , we do things that hurt us . nick : i 'm not ready for summer to be an adult . i 'm definitely not ready for her to be anywhere near that guy . jack : you 're right about one other thing . he 's going to prison . maybe she 's saying goodbye to him . summer : what are they gon na do to him ? austin : what do you think ? i confessed . avery : a good attorney can mitigate . summer : that 's what you need -- a good lawyer . avery : that 's what i 've been trying to tell him . summer : he could still fix this . avery : well , it 's not a guarantee , but , yes , he could try . summer : no , not him . you . you can fix this . avery , you can defend austin . avery : [ sighs ] nikki : oh , you 're just gon na make me say it , are n't you ? victor : [ chuckles ] maybe . nikki : you were very good at staying away , respecting my wishes . victor : mm - hmm . nikki : kissing me inside my hotel room , and then closing the door , going out in the hall . you did n't plead with me to come home too much . victor : i respect your decision . nikki : right now ... paul is in the hospital fighting for his life ... victor : mm - hmm . nikki : ... so he can be with the person he loves . and the person i love is right here . right in front of me . so what am i doing not being here ? i want to come home and be with you . if that 's okay . [ chuckles ] victor : i love you . nikki : i love you . victor : i 've missed you . come here , my baby . nikki : [ chuckles ] [ next_on ] christine : i 'm so glad you 're here . jack : as far as taking sides goes , i 'll always take billy 's . abby : but a piece of trash is always gon na look like nothing but garbage . mariah : that 's it ! abby : aah ! nick : oh , no , no , no , no ! | jenna refuses to tell billy anything about stitch 's past , so chelsea thinks that since stitch and kelly are connected somehow they should look into kelly 's past . stitch promises kelly that he will tell victoria the truth today , but then he gets a call from jenna telling him that if he tells victoria his disgusting secret , she will move again and not tell him where she is , so he ca n't have any contact with his son . jack and nick try to persuade summer that she should forget about austin , because he is a bad guy who is going to jail for shooting paul . summer insists that austin did something wrong , but he is n't a bad person , and she is determined to help him . summer asks avery to be austin 's lawyer even though austin waived his right to a lawyer and gave a full confession . |

[ lock disengages ] sharon : hi . i - i just had to come by and make sure that the police got here and that everything 's okay . avery : everything 's fine , sharon , even though joe got away . sharon : joe did this ? avery : we 're pretty sure . anyway , the police have come and gone , and -- and so has dylan , so ... sharon : oh , oh . where did dylan go ? avery : well , i assume he went home . lily : thank you . dylan : hey . lily , hi . lily : hey . dylan : i 'm looking for joe clark . have you seen him ? lily : um , he was just here . dylan : really ? for -- for how long ? has he been here all night ? lily : i - i do n't know . i do n't even know what time i got here , so i do n't know . dylan : oh . okay . maybe a little guess ? an hour ago ? half - hour ? lily : i do n't know . i 'm not his timekeeper . if you want to know , just ask him . i 'm sorry . joe : i agree . there 's no reason you should be grilling lily . what kind of way is that to treat a lady ? dylan : well , you 're one to talk . this guy 's been harassing avery . she had to file a restraining order against him . joe : and i filed one against you , which you are presently in violation of . so , one phone call to pops , and we 've got another arrest on your criminal record . dylan : stay away from avery . do n't spy on her , do n't stalk her , do n't go near her apartment again . joe : what are you talking about ? dylan : do n't -- do n't even try . what were you doing on her balcony tonight , joe ? joe : are you having another one of your episodes , dylan ? dylan : you 're not gon na get to her , do you hear me ? joe : oh , i hear you . but you 're not making any sense . and i 've got better things to do than to listen to your rantings . hope you feel better , lily . good night . lily : good night . mariah : hey , hey . do n't be an idiot . i know you want to tear him apart right now , but do n't . it 's gon na look very bad for my mom if you get arrested . i 'm not gon na let you hurt her . [ knock on door ] nikki : oh . i 'm so glad it 's you . paul : well , you called . here i am . nikki : come on in . paul : uh , so , you finished your stint at rehab . good for you . i 'm still not sure i understand why you , uh , want to talk about it . nikki : well , i 'm working the program , and one of the steps is to make amends to the people i 've hurt . paul : well , you made it clear that you regret what happened , so , uh ... is this really necessary ? nikki : yeah , it is . i need to apologize to you sober . neil : i mean , come on , victor . we -- you and me , we 're on the same team here . i mean , why are you so upset with me ? victor : been a long and stressful day , okay ? you just were at the wrong place at the wrong time . it bothers me enormously that nikki 's spending time here in a hotel suite . she should be home . neil : yeah , i get that , but she just got out of rehab . she 's emotional . you got to give her some time . victor : you sound like everyone else , as if time is the solution to all of our problems . neil : is something else bothering you ? i mean , you seemed very preoccupied today at work , and for that matter , so did billy , jack , ashley , and -- and even victoria . victor : mm . neil : i am , as well you know , the company 's cfo . and i am getting a feeling that people are hiding something from me , you know ? victor : well , i think you 're a bit paranoid now . neil : and -- and with good reason , victor . people are tiptoeing around , you know ? they 're whispering in the corners . they 're shutting their laptops . this is all irregular behavior . i want you to do me a solid , man . tell me what 's really going on here . victor : there 's a problem . it has to do with jack abbott . marco : you never have to worry about that . every minute since the day i met you , i have been in love with you . your passion , your energy , everything that makes you you -- i can not get enough of it . i crave it . you are everything i ever wanted in a woman . and i will spend the rest of our time together making up for the fact that you did n't know that . i 'll tell you anything . everything . you got questions ? i 've got answers . i 'll tell you about every woman i ever kissed , starting in grade school . i 'll tell you about the day i played hooky so that i could watch the world cup , about the day i sprained my wrist breaking a racket in a tennis tournament , how i stole a roll of quarters at the fourth - grade school -- what ? phyllis : question . are you excited to have me in your arms or is that a gun in your pocket ? dylan : i appreciate that you want to protect your mother , but this is a problem between joe and avery . mariah : exactly . so why are you involved ? i know that you know that it has n't been that long since sharon got her head on straight , so i do n't want something coming along to screw it up again . dylan : i have no intention of doing that . mariah : so what are your intentions ? sharon : you must feel a little bit better knowing that paul is looking out for you . avery : well , joe is a determined man . i do n't doubt he 'll try something like this again , police protection or not . sharon : and if he does , will you call dylan ? because you know how he can be . i mean , he might go after joe and then , you know , who knows what will happen . avery : yeah , i 've already promised dylan that i will leave him out of it . sharon : can i hold you to that promise ? avery : sharon , you do n't have to worry . i 'm not coming between you and dylan . sharon : no , that 's not what i meant . avery : he and i are over . truly , i am not a threat to your relationship . sharon : well , i better get home , see if dylan 's there . i 'm glad that no harm was done with joe . avery : yeah . sharon : [ gasps ] avery : what do you want ? you did n't get your fill before , looking through my window ? joe : we need to talk . sharon : if avery 's okay with it , then fine , but i 'm staying . and i have 911 loaded up and ready to go on my phone , so do n't try anything . avery : come in . but i want sharon to stay . joe : fine . i just wanted to apologize about your scare earlier . avery : you mean you 're sorry that i caught you watching ? joe : you honestly think that i would do that ? sharon : if you did n't , then how do you know about it ? joe : from dylan . he came to the gcac to ream me about it . no , relax . he did n't harm me physically , and i did n't call the police for breaking his restraining order , but -- avery : you did n't ? joe : i came here instead because i 'm concerned . as much as you 've tried to push me out of your life , i still care about you , avery . avery : is that a new trench coat ? joe : i got it a couple years ago . i only wear it when it rains . avery : yeah ? you got a hat to go with it ? joe : why are you asking me this ? avery : no reason . you 've seen that i 'm okay . now you can leave . joe : i 'm not finished with our conversation . avery : yes , you are . sharon : you heard her . joe : look , i 'm just concerned about your wellbeing . sharon : so am i . you have three seconds to leave . one . two . joe : look , relax , okay ? i 'm leaving . avery : [ sighs ] thank you for standing up to him . sharon : dylan 's on your side , and so am i . dylan : uh , my intentions . i have n't heard that question in a long time . mariah : and the answer is ... ? dylan : the answer is my intentions towards your mom are between her and me . mariah : not good enough , see , 'cause sharon 's overnight visits with faith depend on you . actually , everything depends on you -- her job , her stability , her relationship with noah . dylan : what about her relationship with you ? mariah : i would very much like for things to continue the way that they 've been going , so that means nothing that might cause sharon to spiral out of control . which means you not leading her on . so , steer clear of joe and avery . dylan : well , i 'll take that into account . mariah : good . 'cause i 'm gon na be watching you . nikki : even though i had n't been drinking the night of the accident , i - i still covered for neil . no , that 's not right . i did n't cover . i lied . and that only made things more difficult for you and christine to find the truth and find justice . in trying to protect one friend , i ended up hurting two others very badly . god knows if i could do it again , i - i would -- i would change so many things . but ... i 'm afraid all i have to offer you is my sincerest apology . and i 'd like to offer that to christine , too , in the hope that it will help you both to heal . paul : i hope so , too , nikki . i hope so . neil : so , what 's going on ? is it the merger ? has jack been giving you trouble ? victor : i think he 's trying to make a move on the company . neil : a takeover ? victor : that and maybe more than that . neil : what else is there to take ? victor : my life . jack may try to kill me . phyllis : since when do you carry a gun ? marco : since i found it in victor 's drawer . i kept it as a precautionary measure . phyllis : what is going on ? ! marco : victor thinks i 'm trying to pull a fast one on him . phyllis : are you ? ! do n't you mess with me . i want a straight answer this time . marco : yes , yes . i do have a plan to overthrow the old goat . but he 's on to me . and i think i may have gone too far with him . phyllis : meaning ? ! what are you talking about ? marco : i think victor may try to kill me . [ next_on ] kyle : next time , you can get bingham to do your dirty work for you . marco : gabe is not my son . victor : we 're dealing with a dangerous maniac . he 's killed three people , so you all stay out of it . jack : calling jabot is our only option . give me the phone ! | a severe thunderstorm is affecting the residents of genoa city . dylan and sharon have just made love when he gets a call from avery that she has an intruder outside of her apartment . dylan gets his clothes on to go and check on avery despite sharon 's protests . at the athletic club bar , lily has a drink to drown her sorrow in what is going on between her / cane and lauren . she is just about to give up drinking for the night when she meets joe in the foyer . she asks him to join her . at newman enterprises , jack assures victor that he was not going to shoot him when they are interrupted by phyllis , who informs jack that she is on to him . mariah stops by to check on sharon but soon finds out that she called the police for avery , who had an intruder outside of her apartment . mariah is upset that sharon is not upset over dylan going to avery 's rescue . when dylan arrives at avery 's apartment , she immediately hugs him . dylan wants to know about the intruder . avery describes him to dylan just as paul and another police officer join him . paul is once again put out because , as usual , dylan is the one helping instead of leaving things to the police . paul and the officer decide to have a look around . avery admits to dylan that joe scares her as to what he might do next . lily confides to joe that cane lied to her and was always keeping secrets from her and was never thinking of what this was doing to her or the children . joe tells lily that she is the `` victim `` in all of this and confides how avery used him and was always putting all the blame on him . phyllis asks jack how could keep this secret from her . she 's found that gabriel was his son . phyllis accuses victor of knowing about this all the time . victor gets a call from neil concerning nikki . victor soon leaves jack and phyllis alone . jack wants to go home and have some dinner and talk , but phyllis insists they 're going to have this out now . |

[ laughter ] michael : i was just touching base with a client . lauren : hmm . your clients usually do n't get you so worked up . michael : well , it 's one of those cases that looked like it was open - and - shut in the beginning , and it turned into this inexplicable maze of ... hey ! hey . you have n't even given me the blow - by - blow of your trip to california , lady . lauren : hmm . michael : huh ? lauren : it was fantastic , actually . the fenmore 's pop - up was the talk of the town , lines around the block , products selling out , and selfies all over social media . michael : i saw , you looked amazing . lauren : thank you . and i 'm really glad that jack got to go with me . michael : and you got to fly on a private jet . lauren : yes , but , more importantly , i got to have a heart - to - heart with him . you know , dina and kyle and billy moved out , and abby pretty much lives here . he 's lonely . michael : [ clears throat ] i hope you 're not planning to make playing cupid your new side - hustle again . lauren : [ laughs ] oh , no , no , no . i hung my arrows . i gave you my word . michael : yeah , just checking . lauren : you know , he really needs his friends right now . and i 'd like us to be there for him . michael : mm - hmm . anything you say . mr. abbott ? mr. abbott , i thought that was you ! mallory armstrong from the -- jack : from the memory care facility . your dad lives next to my mother . good recall . jack : call me jack . how 's your mother doing ? jack : she 's doing better than expected . what about you ? jack : i 'm adjusting . it is n't easy , bearing witness to all the change . jack : no , it is not . sometimes you feel like you ca n't do anything right for them . and then there are times when everything is so clear . their memory is so vivid . you just wish you could stop time . jack : i know that exact feeling . because we 're both part of the same unique club that no one wants to join . jack : that we are . i hope i 'm not overstepping . jack : no , no , no . no . it 's just -- nobody wants to hear about my father having alzheimer 's anymore . jack : you know what , even the most well - meaning people do n't really need to hear the sturm und drang of our daily lives . what was your mother like ? before ? jack : very strong . very determined . amazing memory . she ran her own business . she was quite the powerful force . which i guess is what makes this all so hard . nobody prepares you for it . jack : no , it 's a pretty steep learning curve . you know , there 's a support group at bright tomorrows . jack : i heard . not really my cup of tea , but it might help . jack : yeah , thanks . i 'm -- i 'm not sure i 'm ready for that . i understand . trust me . jack : though , i have to admit , this does feel good . you know , talking to someone who knows what you 're talking about and learn about your father . you feel less alone and adrift . jack : yeah . i was gon na grab a cup of coffee . you want to join me ? we could talk some more , or not talk . whatever works for you . jack : i 'd like that very much . shall we ? nikki : nicholas ! you 've been on my mind all morning . oh , honey , you look -- you look just awful . nick : [ sighs ] thanks , mom . nikki : well , i 'm your mother , i can say that . listen , i -- i know how devastating it must be to hand dark horse over to adam . but you will find something else that you are passionate about . nick : [ scoffs ] that is the last thing on my mind . nikki : then why do you look like you lost your best friend ? nick : i got served papers . adam wants to take christian from me , and victoria 's partially to blame . mariah : instead of rushing into a cold , sterile studio , what if we get a video of tessa in her world , places that she loves , that she feels comfortable ? that way , we get a natural , relaxed , accessible vibe . we 'll let people see and hear the real tessa , give her listeners more than just a voice coming through the speakers . ana : well , i think -- mariah : wait ! hold that thought . i promise , i will be right back . hey ! kyle : what 's going on ? mariah : well , we were just figuring out how to market tessa , so do you mind just coming over here for a little bit ? say hi to everybody ! kyle : hi , everybody . tessa : hi ! mariah : so , kyle , you just launched jabot collective kyle : mm - hmm . mariah : it 's all over the internet , and now it 's fashion 's newest starling . so how did you do that ? kyle : well , glad you asked . we gave the power to the people . got some influencers to spread the word , used real people , social media , short videos ... ana : you guys did a really good job getting the collective 's name out there . kyle : and it cost a fraction of what we usually spend on campaigns . ana : mm . mariah : that 's what i want to do with tessa . so what do you think ? tessa : i mean , i 'm in . it might be a risk , but nothing ventured , nothing gained . mariah : ana ? what about you ? i mean , if you need some time to think about it , or -- ana : no , i already have my answer . what are we waiting for ? yes . let 's do it . tessa : wait , what ? ana : oh , i 'm in . i love it . when do we start ? mariah : [ laughs ] nick : so vick got scared that adam was gon na inherit the throne at newman , so she gave him everything he wanted . he then used that to steal dark horse , and he hired a family law attorney . nikki : [ sighs ] i knew there was tension between you and your sister , but ... honey , i doubt that victoria realized that adam would stoop so low . nick : you make a deal with the devil , there are unintended consequences . nikki : having all of you at war with each other , it just breaks my heart . nick : well , not having a company to run , you know , there is a silver lining . i get to spend a lot more time with my kids . nikki : well , you enjoy it while you can because they do n't stay little forever . nick : [ chuckles ] yeah . i know . taking christian to his first t - ball game later . nikki : oh , yeah ? room for a cheerleading grandma ? nick : are you kidding ? we 'd love to have you . nikki : i will be there . it 'll be a good distraction . you just focus on christian and put thoughts of adam far behind . nick : [ sighs ] i wish i could . nikki : let me tell you something . no judge would ever give him custody . nick : i do n't know , mom . adam always has something up his sleeve . [ knocking on door ] adam : uh -- yeah , come right on in . sharon : how could you ? adam : if this is about your boyfriend , i do n't -- sharon : did you hear anything i said when i told you you need to put christian 's needs above your own ? adam : he needs his father ! sharon : he has one ! it 's nick ! adam : no , it 's me . sharon : just because you share dna with christian does not make you his father . nicholas has been loving that little boy every day of his life , protecting him , nurturing him ! adam : i will send a thank - you card . sharon : [ sighs ] nicholas and christian belong together . christian adores nick . that 's his dad ! adam : okay , we both know how resilient kids are , sharon . sharon : and , sometimes , they 're just collateral damage . if you knew the first thing about parenting , in your heart of hearts , you would know that what you 're doing is wrong ! adam : i 'm not cutting nick out of christian 's life ! he will always be the loving uncle because that is what it 's always been ! sharon : you are a stranger to that little boy . you 're a stranger to me , at this point ! you despise your brother . you -- you want him to pay because you 're jealous and you 're spiteful and , you know what , you 're -- you 're a million other ugly things . if you could just see christian and nicholas together ... adam : i have . sharon : well , then you know that they belong with each other ! adam : no , he belongs to me , sharon ! sharon : do n't do this , adam ! please ! this vindictive game you 're playing has got to stop right now ! ana : let 's write up game plan , define our audience , specific ways to reach them , what we 'll need , where we 'll go . mariah : oh , we 'll need some channels for her videos . ana : check . oh , a fan page . mariah : yes ! with the perfect profile . we 're gon na need amazing photos , pthe performances , relaxing , having her morning coffee . tessa : no ! mariah : yep ! yes , now . ana : no time like the present . [ laughter ] kyle : if i may be so bold as to offer a suggestion , it 'll take this to a whole new level . mariah : okay , what you got ? kyle : synergy .

reporter : now , we came inside because it 's been pouring all day in rio . billy : yeah , it makes sense now ... why stitch 's wife went from answering all our questions to practically slamming the door on us . chelsea : she was definitely tipped off . billy : by kelly , of all people . i should have never told her we were going to australia . chelsea : no , you should n't have -- amateur -- not to mention why we were going . billy : well , at least we walked out of there with a potential clue -- that there 's more to stitch and kelly 's connection than anyone realized . chelsea : you still think it 's something other than an affair ? billy : yes , and i may be an amateur , but i know instead of standing here speculating , we should be working your angle . chelsea : looking into kelly 's past . billy : may be the only way to figure out stitch 's , and then we can go home with the dirt to bury him . kelly : i take it your phone call with jenna did n't go well . stitch : [ scoffs ] it was worse than i could have imagined . yeah . kelly : i heard you say that billy and chelsea managed to track her down . stitch : and because of them , now jenna is threatening to stop me from ever seeing max again . kelly : what ? stitch : if i tell victoria the truth about myself , i lose my son . kelly : i ca n't believe jenna would blackmail you . what are you gon na do ? abby : mm ! i ca n't believe i 'm hugging you . i should n't even be speaking to you . victoria : why not ? abby : the stork pays you a visit , and you do n't even mention it to me ? victoria : `` the stork `` ? is it 1955 ? abby : okay , you 're preggers . you 're with child . you are knocked up . however you want to say it , this is the most amazing news ever . i ca n't believe you 're not skywriting it for the whole town to see . victoria : well , abby , it is a little soon , and i have had some trouble in the past . abby : and you want to keep it quiet . but there is nothing to worry about . billy junior is gon na be just fine . we abbotts have strong genes . victoria : [ sighs ] right . abby : so , how 's the proud papa - to - be taking the news ? i 'm sure he 's ecstatic . victoria : actually , he 's having a hard time . abby : because you two are separated ? victoria : because another man might be the father . abby : whoa . um , okay . well , whose little swimmers could they be ? stitch rayburn 's ? now i can see why billy 's been reeling . victoria : he wants so badly for this baby to be his . abby : who do you want the father to be ? christine : it 's such a pretty day outside . i wish you could see it . how many days this winter did we wonder if it was ever gon na get warm , and now here it is . it 's amazing how that happens . every year , without fail , it just gets better . paul , i need you to open your eyes . i need you to come back to me , okay ? i hate this feeling . i feel helpless . i feel like i 'm -- i feel like i 'm underwater , and i ca n't breathe . and i 'm trying to get to the surface , but something is holding me back . you remember with isabella -- how she was holding me back , and you came and you saved me ? and i just do n't know why i ca n't do the same for you . [ door opens , closes ] todd : if only it worked that way . christine : [ sighs ] jack : find out what you can and get back to me . thanks . nick : i mean , what the hell 's going on in there ? i do n't want her to be around austin any more than she has to be . jack : i just called a friend of mine -- a reporter friend at the chronicle . asked him to dig up what he could on travers . summer did n't have a thing to tell me about him when i asked her . nick : we talked about him a little . she said that she had fallen for him and that it was complicated . jack : complicated how ? nick : we were interrupted before she could tell me . if i had just followed through with this , maybe i could have prevented her from taking off with him . jack : you think you feel bad ? i told her to follow her gut with this guy . nick : you did what ? jack : believe me -- i did n't think it was gon na turn into this . nick : yeah , i mean , we both dropped the ball on this , jack , but never again . we have to stop this before it gets any worse . austin : you 're kidding , right ? avery : there 's no way that i can defend austin . summer : why not ? avery : because not only am i a victim in this crime -- i 'm also the prosecution 's star witness . they 're counting on my testimony to put him away for a long time . christine : i 'm so glad you 're here . todd : i just -- i just spoke to him the other day about going to a brewers game . christine : god willing , you still will . todd : i just wish i 'd been a compatible donor . somebody else in the family -- any one of us would have gladly given up anything to ... christine : it 's not your fault that no one is a match to his rare blood type . todd : i 've been asking why . what is his plan ? christine : [ sighs ] and is that what you think -- that there 's a plan ? todd : i 'm sure of it . christine : [ voice breaking ] and what if the plan is for paul to die ? todd : christine . christine : no , really , what if we ca n't find a donor in time ? i do n't know how much longer he can hold on . todd : if anybody is gon na fight to survive , it 's gon na be paul . now , he has more willpower , determination than any man i 've ever known . you remember when he was framed for murder . he used all of his energy to clear his name , and what happened ? he did it . he never gives up . christine : no , you 're -- you 're right . he does n't . todd : so we ca n't give up on him . hmm ? christine : yeah . mariah : hey ! noah : [ scoffs ] is that supposed to prove a point ? mariah : yeah -- that i can handle cleaning up the bar without a watchdog . do you mind backing off ? noah : sure . i 'll back off as soon as i 'm satisfied that you 're not working some new angle . mariah : me ? what about your sister ? summer just tried to leave the country with a guy who shot the chief of police . maybe it 's her you should be worried about and not me . summer : that 's the whole problem , okay ? austin does not deserve to be locked up at all . by having his own victim defend him , you can convince the jury to free him . avery : summer . austin : you ca n't ask that of her , okay ? not after what i did . summer : please , my aunt is the best at what she does . austin : summer , i kidnapped her . i held her at gunpoint . i - i ca n't believe she can stand to be in the same room as me , much less defend me . summer : please -- both of you , please , okay ? this has to happen . okay , i do n't want to lose you . look , i know what everyone else thinks of you , but they do n't see what i see . okay , you were hurting , and you made a - a bad choice , but you 're not a bad person . austin : if only i had someone like you in my life earlier . [ door opens ] time 's up , travers . summer : okay , i 'm not gon na let you go to prison . we 're gon na find a way out of this , okay ? avery : summer . summer : it 's gon na be fine . i promise . avery : come on . let 's go . avery : summer . austin : hey , what 's going on ? i thought you were taking me to my cell . hey , what 's going on ? what are you doing ? stitch : i do n't have any choice , do i ? i have to keep the truth from victoria . kelly : well , what are you saying ? you 're just gon na give in to jenna ? you 're not gon na fight back ? stitch : how can i fight ? what leverage do i have ? kelly : well , you could take her to court . you know , you can fight for shared custody of max . stitch : [ sighs ] like any judge is gon na give me custody after what i 've done . i do n't know -- in some way , i ca n't blame jenna for giving me an ultimatum . she wants to protect max . you would have done the same for sam . kelly : to keep him from finding out his dad ... is a killer ? i -- yeah , i guess , absolutely . stitch : and that 's why you need to back off , too . if you say anything to jack about me , this whole thing will blow up , and then jenna will go through with her threat . kelly : do n't put that on me . things are tough enough for me as it is , with me getting closer to jack and having this secret hanging over my head . you saw what it did to your relationship with jenna . i do n't want that to happen to me and jack , too . stitch : yeah , i understand . kelly : no , you do n't understand . i 'm sorry , but if jack asks me a direct question about your past , i intend to level with him . stitch : even if it costs me my little boy ? kelly : even if . stitch : well , i guess i have one thing to be grateful for . billy 's coming home empty - handed , so the whole thing wo n't blow up the minute he steps off the plane . billy : no , that 's wrong . chelsea : how do you know ? billy : because the kelly andrews we 're looking for did not just win the world arm wrestling championship . chelsea : well , is andrews her maiden name or her married name ? billy : that 's a good question . chelsea : you never asked her ? billy : well , why would i ? i mean , that 's not the sort of thing you talk about in the middle of a -- [ sighs ] what got me in all this trouble in the first place . chelsea : do you even know where she 's from ? billy : oh , no , okay . now , i can answer that . she 's from , uh , saint paul . uh , no , no , no , wait . uh -- uh , st. louis ? uh , it 's saint something . chelsea : oh , my god ! big help you are . billy : come on . i - i met her at a grief - counseling group . we were talking about our kids and how much it was killing us to be without them . i could tell you stories about sam . you know , what his favorite baseball team is , what type of bike he had . but with kelly , i - i do n't even have a clue what color her eyes are . chelsea : blue . billy : yeah , you see , that 's about how much it mattered to me . you know , i spent one night with kelly just to forget . i mean , with victoria , [ chuckles ] i - i could give you a whole dossier about her . it was like that from the start . i knew everything about her . you know , her eyes , her -- her hair , how she shined , you know , the space between her teeth . [ chuckles ] the way her -- her nose would crinkle up like , uh , samantha from `` bewitched `` when i told her a joke . and she laughed at all my jokes , you know , even the funny ones . chelsea : you have funny ones ? billy : yeah , yeah . ha - ha . [ chuckles ] yeah , victoria was the best audience i ever had . you -- you know what that 's like , right ? you 're so crazy about someone , and you want to know everything about them . and you call her up on the phone before you go to bed , and you end up talking to her until the sun comes up . and you know you 're gon na be exhausted for work the next day , but you do n't care because that conversation changed your life , and you know what it 's like to be with someone , a companion , and you take a huge sigh of relief because you know you 're never gon na be alone again . victoria : that is not such a simple question . abby : really ? and here , i thought it was a rhetorical one . you 've wanted a baby with billy for so long now . victoria : a lot has happened to make me reconsider that . abby : and to make you consider stitch ? victoria : [ sighs ] abby : wow . i did n't even realize he was a serious contender . victoria : why would n't he be ? he 's kind , he 's dependable , he 's affectionate . abby : so is a golden retriever . but that does n't make him good father or -- or husband material . victoria : at least with ben , i do n't have to worry if i 'm gon na find him face up in the gutter or if he 's gon na win a restaurant in a poker game . abby : maybe not , but does stitch make you feel the way that billy does ? and do n't try to tell me that you 're over him , because you are still crazy in love with him . are n't you ? billy : whoa . hey . wow . uh , where -- where 'd that come from ? um , we were n't even drinking this time . chelsea : i know . i - i do n't know . that was so -- [ chuckles ] i think i just got caught up in -- in what you were saying , and -- and it made me think about adam . billy : oh , so this was about adam ? chelsea : well , all the things that i miss about him . i mean , i have a dossier on adam , too , just like you have on victoria . apple pie was his favorite food , and blue was his favorite color . billy : i thought it would have been black like his heart . chelsea : i understand the way you feel about adam , but he had another side to him -- a side that he did n't show to the rest of the world , a side that i fell in love with . billy : okay , well , that explains where your mind was before . what about your lips ? chelsea : what about them ? billy : how are we gon na deal with this kiss ? christine : you 're really good at this . todd : what 's that ? christine : giving people hope and comfort . todd : kind of comes with the territory . christine : that collar does n't say it all . todd : no . of course not . but it 's what i do . i 'd imagine that you were a great lawyer long before you went to law school , right ? it 's your calling . giving people comfort in times like this -- this is why i 'm here . i just wish it was not my brother 's wife that i was having to comfort this time . christine : i 'm gon na give you a little time alone with him . todd : thank you , christine . christine : okay . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] todd : [ exhales deeply ] what have you gotten yourself into this time , little brother ? you should see all these cards around here . you got a whole town pulling for you , but that 's no surprise . you 've always pulled for everyone else . like you did with mom when she had her miscarriage . you -- man , you came through for her . you and your rare blood type saved her life . hell , you saved our family . [ voice breaking ] i remember dad was so proud . he was so proud of you . i imagine he 'd be very proud of you right now , one of genoa city 's finest following in his footsteps , and you 've made chief of police . wow . i know i was supposed to check my ego at the church door when i took my vows , but [ sighs ] i just love bragging about you , little brother , and i want to go on bragging about you , so you have got to stick around . we ca n't lose you . i ca n't lose you . austin : go ahead . take your best shot . jack : no , do n't . do n't . austin : i do n't blame you for hating my guts . jack : let me do you a favor , kid . you do n't want to go there . austin : go where ? nick : you think you can do that -- pull this penitent crap with us ? jack : unlike summer , we are under no illusions as to who you are . we 're not gon na let you hurt her . austin : that 's the last thing i ever wanted to do . i 'm so sorry that i brought summer into this , okay ? i screwed up , and i should pay the consequences , but summer should n't . [ keys jingling ] you guys all set ? jack : yeah . nick : get him out of our sight . summer : i realize that it 's a lot to ask for you to take austin 's case , but please . it would mean so much to me . please ? avery : summer , why ? what is it about this guy that means so much to you ? you barely know him . summer : did n't you feel something special when you first met dylan ? you know , something inside of you that just told you that he 's the one ? you could n't wait to see him again or touch him or be with him . that 's how it was for austin and me . avery : summer , just how far did things go between you and austin ? summer : far . victoria : yes , okay ? i still love billy . abby : great . then problem solved . victoria : no . problem not solved . look , if this baby turns out to be ben 's , billy 's never gon na be able to live with it . he 's not gon na love it like his own , no matter how much he says he will . abby : he would try really hard , vicki . you have to trust him -- believe in him . victoria : because he 's learned from his mistakes ? abby : yes , and because everyone makes mistakes . i 'm sure dr . dependable has , too . victoria : that 's his business . abby : well , it could be your business if he 's your baby daddy . victoria : whatever ben might have done , billy 's done worse . abby : how do you know that ? victoria : i just know it , okay ? i can feel it . abby : well , you could be kidding yourself . how many times have we said that we 're over guys like so - and - so , and then the next guy we date is exactly the same ? victoria : ben is different . abby : well , you might want to investigate that before you make any sort of commitment . victoria : unlike you . abby : me ? wait -- how did i get dragged into this ? victoria : you put tyler 's ring on your finger before you knew you could n't trust him . abby : well , thank you for reminding me . victoria : mm , somehow , i think it 's never far from your mind . abby : you know , for two smart sisters , we really do have some messed - up lives , do n't we ? and while your complication has yet to be born , i have a walking , talking , stalking one to worry about . noah : why do n't you lay off , all right ? do n't -- do n't talk about summer to me . mariah : no , i was n't throwing shade . i was just pointing out the double standard . you 're on her side , no questions asked , but when it comes to me ... noah : oh , you -- you want to compare the two ? really ? summer fell for a guy and followed him to canada . you set out to hurt my mom . mariah : no , no , no . no , not to hurt her . that was never the plan . and i feel awful about it . noah : do n't give me that look . mariah : what look ? noah : that look that she would have -- never mind . mariah : `` she `` ? oh . were , uh -- were you two close ? noah : you 're nothing like cassie . mariah : i never said i was , but i 'm not a bad person , either . noah : [ scoffs ] you know , i dated someone just like you . she almost got me thrown in jail for stolen drug money . mariah : oh , this girl must have broken your heart . noah : yeah , well , just know this -- you 're not gon na get the chance to break any around here . nick : what 's going on ? summer : um , avery and i were just -- avery : we 're just finishing up . nick : okay , well , then let 's get you out of here . you 've been here long enough . jack : yeah , come on . i 'll take you home . you can recuperate . we can pamper you . summer : yeah , i do n't need a babysitter . that 's for both of you . avery : you know what ? you can come home with me . i 'll make you something to eat . summer : yeah , i 'm kind of hungry . avery : yeah , it 's settled . jack : okay , yeah . nick : sure . jack : i 'm fine with that . um , is it all right to ask for a hug ? summer : of course . jack : love you . summer : love you . nick : love you , supergirl . summer : i love you , too . avery : so , from your comment about austin , i take it that the two of you ... summer : yeah , we made love . yeah . avery : and it was your first time . summer : [ sighs ] christine : oh . oh , todd , this is one of paul 's doctors , ben rayburn . this is my brother - in - law , father todd williams . todd : hi . stitch : father todd . todd : thank you for everything that you 're doing for paul . christine : he is more than a good doctor . he 's a really sweet man . he brought me a coffee from crimson lights . it was really thoughtful . thank you . todd : well , i will remember you in my prayers . stitch : thanks . todd : so , what 's the word on the , uh , donor situation ? anything new ? stitch : nothing new , i 'm afraid , but paul is very high on the waiting list . christine : you know , i 'm -- i 'm gon na head back in there . todd : that 's all right . i 'd like to talk to the doc for a second . christine : okay . stitch : sure . christine : thank you . todd : is there something you 're not telling us ? stitch : not at all . why would you ask ? todd : you just seem troubled by something . stitch : [ chuckles ] `` troubled . `` [ chuckles ] my mom always used to say that . todd : was she right ? stitch : almost always , but what 's got me troubled today has nothing to do with paul . it 's personal . todd : oh , well , lucky you . handling personal problems is what i do . stitch : thanks , father , but i 'm not -- i 'm not really a religious guy . todd : oh , you do n't have to be religious for just a little bit of guidance . stitch : i was an altar boy once upon a time ... but a lot 's changed since then . todd : some things never change . confession is always good for the soul . you want to talk about it ? chelsea : there 's nothing to deal with . i just lost my head for a second and kissed you . let 's just forget about it . i 'm -- i 'm embarrassed enough as it is . billy : embarrassed about what ? i do n't even know what you 're talking about . chelsea : thank you . so , should we get back to it ?

[ keyboard clacking ] billy : yeah , wait , wait . right there . no , the one being honored at the elementary school . chelsea : are you sure ? billy : yeah . yeah , no , no . she was a teacher , and that 's in st. louis . that 's got to be her . click on that . no . no , no , no , no . i - i do n't want to see that . billy : i - i ca n't do this . chelsea : that 's kelly 's son ? the one who ... billy : i - i really ca n't read this , all right ? i do n't care what kind of clues we might find . if i knew somebody was going through delia 's site , i just ... chelsea : it 's gone . it 's gone . so what now ? are you gon na stop looking into kelly 's life ? billy : no . i 'm gon na go straight to the source instead . kelly : well , what a relief , huh ? i 've been really worried about summer . jack : i 'm sure that brought up some memories you 'd just as soon not revisit . not easy , is it -- being with a guy who has a complicated life ? kelly : trust me . i 'm used to complications . jack : yeah , i guess these days , it 's hard to avoid it . you meet someone . before you know it , you 're mixed up in their life ... like you and stitch . kelly : what about us ? jack : victoria told me you let him know about billy 's fact - finding trip to australia . kelly : yes , that 's -- that 's true . jack : what 's that about ? why would you warn him ? stitch : you 've got enough on your hands with your brother . you do n't need me adding to that . besides , it 's not [ sighs ] something i really want to get into . no offense . todd : no , none taken . it 's never comfortable talking to strangers , but still , if you need somebody to listen , my boss is always available . stitch : your boss ? oh . your boss . [ both chuckle ] stitch : uh , i 'll keep that in mind . thanks . summer : not gon na lecture me , are you ? i mean , i 'm , like , the last person i know to lose their virginity . avery : well , i have a feeling there might be a few others , but do n't worry . i 'm not gon na tell you what you should or should n't do . summer : or who i 'm doing it with ? avery : okay , well , you have to admit the circumstances are unusual . summer : yeah , but that does n't mean it was n't amazing , because it was . avery : [ sighs ] summer : i mean , austin was sweet , and he was considerate , and he was everything i 've always dreamed that a man would be . and , yes , before you ask , we used protection , okay ? it might have been my first time , but i 'm not stupid about these things . avery : okay , good . and i assume you and your mother had the talk , right ? summer : yes , we 've had many talks over the years . she was always very thorough with the sex education . avery : well , i know she would want to be here right now for you , and since that 's not possible , i hope you 'll come to me if you need anything . summer : i do need you . avery : okay , well , anything . just ask . summer : i did ask . avery : [ sighs ] summer , i ca n't represent austin . the court wo n't allow it . it 's not ethical . summer : but neither is abandoning a man who lost his mom in part because of you . and , yes , i know you did n't pull the trigger , but your actions had consequences , and now you can make up for that . avery : okay , austin 's actions had consequences . paul williams is lying in a hospital bed because of them . summer : i know , and i feel really bad , but so does austin . i mean , that gun went off by accident . avery : [ sighs ] summer : okay , has n't austin suffered enough ? i mean , have n't i ? okay , my mom is in a coma . my dad 's not my dad anymore . i mean , my brother is n't my brother . my sister is n't even that , either . i ca n't lose anything else . please , if you do n't do it for austin , please , can you do it for me ? noah : i do n't get it . why is summer still with this guy ? nick : she 's romanticized the whole thing . do n't get me started . noah : huh . nick : how 's it going here ? noah : uh , it 's been a little tense , but she has n't tried anything . mariah : hey , guys . how 's summer ? she 's okay , is n't she ? i know you guys have been worried about her . noah : okay , you do n't have to lay it on so thick . nick : he 's right . you know , you already got the job , and i 'm not gon na fire you unless you give me a reason . abby : i 'm your reason . abby : i ca n't believe you hired this skankarella in the first place . what were you thinking ? nick : mariah needs to make some money so she can pay sharon back . noah : and then she 'd better be getting the pink slip . abby : i 'm surprised you 're even qualified for this job . which of your limited skill sets are you using -- driving someone insane or breaking up a happy couple ? mariah : well , abby , i 'm a waitress -- a practical skill an heiress like you would know nothing about . abby : how could you give her a break ? this is the woman who 's been trying to ruin my life , who traumatized sharon by pretending to be cassie 's ghost . mariah : hey , sharon and i made peace , and i tried to do the same thing with you . abby : oh , is that what you call that little act of yours ? `` oh , i 'm so sorry you and tyler broke up . i hope you get back together . blah , blah , blah , blah , blah . `` like hell you are . you were just trying to win him back . you know what ? i got news for you . you might have cassie 's angel face , but a piece of trash is always gon na look like nothing but garbage . mariah : that 's it ! abby : aah ! nick : oh , no , no , no , no ! noah : let go ! nick : let go ! mariah : bitch ! abby : you do n't fool me , and i will make damn sure you do n't fool anyone else in this town , either . kelly : it 's nothing , really . i mean , i just happened to run into ben right after billy told me about his trip . jack : you run into him a lot . kelly : it 's coincidence , really . i mean , it 's not like i go tracking ben down to fill him in on billy 's life . look , it just came up in conversation , and , frankly , i wish it had n't because i do n't want to be any more involved in the situation than i already am . and i really do n't want to take sides because i do n't think that 's fair . i mean , i do n't think anybody should . jack : i agree with your not butting in , but i want you to know , as far as taking sides goes , i 'll always take billy 's . stitch : yeah , i know , uh , i 've been m.i.a . [ chuckles ] sorry about that . i just -- i just was n't sure how you 'd take some of the choices i 've made . [ sniffles ] [ sighs ] [ voice breaking ] but , uh , i - i guess you had the last laugh , huh ? uh ... 'cause those -- those choices are coming back to haunt me . still , i , uh ... [ sniffles ] ... i do n't regret my actions , except that they hurt people , and ... they could again if i do n't keep quiet . [ sighs ] [ sniffles ] but you know what i did and why i did it . [ footsteps approaching ] christine : [ sighs ] any change ? todd : the same . why do n't we say a prayer ? hmm ? almighty and eternal god , you are the everlasting health for those who believe in you . hear us now for your sick servant paul for whom we implore the aid of your tender mercies that , restored to bodily health , he may give thanks once again in your church to you . through christ our lord , amen . christine : [ sniffles ] lord , please save paul ... a man who has saved so many ... a man that i love so much . kelly : of course you 're gon na take billy 's side . i mean , that 's only natural . um , but as far as i 'm concerned , uh , billy and i have a bit of a dicey history , to say the least , so , um , i think it 's better if i just keep my nose out of it . jack : and a lovely nose it is . kelly : [ chuckles ] why , thank you . does this mean we 're back on the topic of us ? because i hope so , and if we are , i would very much like to go back to where we were before the police called and told us about summer . jack : as i remember , um , i was in your new bedroom . kelly : yes , yes , you were . you were helping me to feel safe , and now that i do ... jack : go ahead . now that you do ... ? kelly : let 's go back there . we could stay in bed for a week , a month . we could have all of our food and water delivered . we would n't have to worry about anything . everything we would need would be right there . what do you say ? jack : i love the sound of that . austin : what are you still doing here ? you should n't be hanging around like this . i 'm not worth it . just walk away . avery : she 's not gon na do that ... and neither am i . austin : why not ? summer : because avery is gon na help you . mariah : should i clear out my locker ? nick : mariah , i told you that i was n't gon na fire you unless you gave me a reason , but you can not attack the customers , especially the ones that are related to me . mariah : even if they deserved it ? nick : look , abby has good reason to be upset with you . it 's up to you to prove you 're worthy of her respect . mariah : and yours ? nick : yeah . and mine . abby : [ sighs ] i have to go see regina and have her fix this . mariah : abby . [ sighs ] i am sorry for messing up your extensions . abby : these are not extensions . this is my real hair , you low - life hood rat ! nick : no . noah : hey ! nick : no . noah : where 's my wallet ? billy : all right , it 's all set . we got the next flight out . uh , better pack . chelsea : okay , great , um , i 'm just gon na meet you in the lobby . billy : okay . listen , uh , i just wanted to say thank you , okay , for coming with me . it 's been a wild trip , right ? chelsea : not exactly what you were hoping for , though . billy : yeah , i 'm still grateful to you . you know , this is ridiculous . i mean , what 's a hug among friends , right ? chelsea : right . billy : all right . come here . victoria : i 'm sorry . i did n't mean to interrupt . stitch : you did n't . i was just , uh ... victoria : yeah , i - i came to say a prayer , too , for paul . stitch : i 'll leave you to it . victoria : wait . stay . please . there 's something that i 've been wanting to ask you . actually , there 's something that i think you want to tell me , but for some reason or other , it just keeps getting swept to the side . but i 've been thinking about it , and i just think that we owe it to each other to get it out in the open . so , whatever it is , just say it already . stitch : [ sighs ] i wanted to , uh ... i just want you to know that i ... i really love you , and i do n't want to lose you . i do n't want to lose you . [ next_on ] neil : what do you say we get married this very minute ? leslie : ian told me something in confidence -- something that you should know . avery : summer needed my help . dylan : with what ? avery : austin 's defense . dylan : i do n't want you anywhere near that nutjob . | billy and chelsea look into kelly 's background . when they find an article about the funeral of kelly 's son , billy decides not to read it . billy tells chelsea he will find another way to find out stitch 's secret . stitch tells kelly that jenna threatened to never let him have contact with his son if he told victoria the truth , so he has decided not to tell victoria about his past . kelly tells stitch that if jack asks her a direct question about his past , she will have to tell him the truth . when jack asks kelly why she told stitch about billy 's trip to australia , she dodges the question by telling jack she has decided to stay out of billy 's business . |

[ knock on door ] nikki : i 'm sorry to interrupt . i was told christine was here . paul : what can we do for you ? nikki : i 'm sure that paul mentioned to you that i spoke with him yesterday . christine : yeah , he said you wanted to try and make things right with him . nikki : well , i 'd like to be able to do the same thing with you ... if you 'll give me the chance . adam : you all right ? chelsea : i 'm fine . adam : you 're crying ? chelsea : [ sighs ] what do you want , gabe ? adam : w - well , i just -- i hate seeing you like this , you know , especially knowing that -- knowing that i 'm the cause of it . chelsea : you ? adam : yeah . i mean , i know you 're upset that i did n't tell you jack was my father . chelsea : you 're right . i am very upset about that . but that 's not why i 'm crying . connor made this . at preschool . his teacher wrote the words , but he did it . for billy . and , so , once again , i am reminded ... on father 's day that connor does n't have a dad . and it 's all my fault . billy : all right , a show of hands -- who had the best father 's day ever ? raise your hand ! oh , there it is ! what about you , katie kate ? see , it 's unanimous . we knocked it out of the park . victoria : well , how could we go wrong with carousel , swings , ice cream , all that ? billy : and you got pictures of the best father 's day ever , right ? victoria : yes , i 've got tons . i 'll forward them to you . or i will just post the worst ones on faceplace . billy : your mom thinks she 's funny . you know what i told dee dee , right ? victoria : `` only one funny person per family . and that 's me , kiddo . `` billy : she said that was the only funny i ever said .

[ sniffles ] adam : you 're a good person . you 're an excellent mom . you were trying to fill a void in your son 's life . i understand that . chelsea : yeah , but i let connor call billy `` daddy . `` i should n't have done that . [ sighs ] billy 's not his dad . adam is . and i should have focused on keeping his memory alive and not trying to replace him . adam : you got to quit beating yourself up over this , okay ? really . chelsea : i just need to make sure connor knows , even though his daddy is in heaven , he still loves him . adam : i think he 's probably too young to understand that . chelsea : time is just going by so fast , you know ? i feel like , before long , connor 's gon na start asking questions about his dad . he 's gon na want to know . i 'm just so scared about that . i - i dread it . [ sighs ] adam : it 's probably a ways away , though , you know ? chelsea : well , what am i gon na say when it does happen ? i 'm gon na say , `` sorry , connor , your -- your daddy [ sighs ] hit a little girl with a car and she died and he lied about it `` ? adam : you can tell him , um ... you can tell him how much , uh , his dad loved him . you know , you tell him , uh ... [ sighs ] you tell him that he wanted to be here to watch him grow up and raise him , and he would have been an amazing father . he wanted to be the kind of dad that he never had . you tell him that . tell him that he would have been terrific . and then he just ... made a mistake . it was an accident . he made one stupid mistake that took everything away from him . everything that he loved . and you tell him that if he could go back in time , he could fix everything , and he could just ... make everything better , he would . you tell him that . chelsea : what 's going on with you ? why are you so emotional over someone you never even met ? billy : look , if jack is planning on doing something to victor , then we 'll all know soon enough . victoria : that 's it ? that 's all you 've got to tell me ? billy : it 's all i can tell you , vick . victoria : okay . i should get going , then . billy : where are you going , back to the office ? victoria : no . i 'm taking the kids home . hannah 's gon na watch them . i 'm meeting dad and the rest of the family at the club for brunch . billy : what , you -- you 're meeting victor ? victoria : it 's father 's day , billy . billy : no , i know . i just thought maybe you 'd be meeting him later around dinner . not celebrating so early , that 's all . victoria : i 'm already late . say goodbye to daddy . let 's go . johnny : bye . billy : vict -- victoria , wait . victoria : what is it , billy ? i told you i 'm late . billy : i just want you to stay a little longer . i mean , it 's like you said . it 's father 's day , and johnny has n't even finished eating yet . victoria : is that really the reason you want me to stay ? billy : no . there is something else . victoria : i think i know what it is . billy : you do ? victoria : you told me that gabriel bingham is jack 's son . you have n't said two words about it . billy : and i 'm probably not gon na say anything else about it , either . i mean , bingham and i may share dna , but it does n't change how i feel about the guy . victoria : you can say that all you want , but it does change things . trust me , i know . billy : adam . victoria : yes . dad brought him to genoa city . nothing was ever the same for the newmans , especially not me and nick . if you want to talk about how you 're feeling , go ahead . billy : i spoke with jack last night . and he confirmed it . gabe is his son . i know that jack is this playboy , and so it should n't come as a shock . but i was , vick . i was shocked . i mean [ scoffs ] of all the jackasses in the world -- i just do n't understand why jack would keep that to himself . i mean , it 's not like bingham 's the first illegitimate child to be introduced to our family . hell , he 's not even jack 's first . victoria : you know you 're not upset that jack did n't tell you he had a son . you 're upset that he did n't tell you who it was . billy : jack knew that gabe trashed my relationship with chelsea . and he did n't say one word about my new nephew . he just let that jerk blindside me with the truth . [ sighs ] it 's just not like him to do that . victoria : he put his own needs first . billy : yeah , he did . he 's been doing a lot more of that lately . victoria : well , maybe you should think about that before you let him drag you down this destructive road that he 's on . jack : [ groans ] we call my home . we call a cell . it could go to voicemail . we do n't know . marisa : you must know someplace where the call wo n't go to voicemail . jack : jabot . jabot , yes . ask for ashley or billy or ky -- ask for any of the abbotts . tell them it 's urgent . marisa : you want me to make the call ? jack : they all think i am dead . if i call , they 'll hear my voice , they 'll think it 's a hoax , they 'll hang up . we do n't know how much juice is on that thing . marisa : why would anyone believe me ? jack : just get them on the line . tell them you found their brother , that he 's alive , a - and let me handle the rest . marisa : [ sighs ] i do n't know . why would anyone believe me ? jack : calling jabot . you calling jabot is our only option . give me the phone . i 'll dial the number . give me the phone ! nick : well , i talked to mom last night . she sounded great . i think this time away has done her some good . victor : yeah , she looks well . nick : she said you were n't happy with her 'cause she 's staying at the club now . victor : did you expect me to be happy about that ? nick : well , no . but i hope you do n't mind , i asked her to join us today . victor : regardless of where your mother stays , i obviously love her . nick : i know . i 'm gon na go see if i can convince her to come down . abby : so , have either of you talked to kevin ? has he heard anything around the station about the search for the killer ? noah : mnh - mnh . he has n't said anything to me . summer : no , me neither . abby : i hate this , just sitting around waiting for them to catch the person who murdered austin and courtney ? noah : you know , for all we know , they 've given up . abby : well , kevin has n't . victor : you know , maybe we should n't either , you guys . abby : but i do n't know what we can do . summer : i do n't know . but we ca n't just sit here and do nothing . victor : listen to me . all of you . okay ? we 're dealing with a dangerous maniac . he has killed three people . so you all stay out of it . let the police handle it . abby : but , dad -- victor : no . i do n't want to hear it . you all mean far too much to me . if anything happens to any of you , i do n't know what i will do . christine : there was something you wanted to say to me ? nikki : yes . i just want -- i - i want to get it right . as right as i can . i know there 's nothing i can say to change anything . i ca n't bring your baby back , or even the possibility of you ever having another child . and that devastates me , christine . and i want you to know , i take full responsibility for my actions . i tried to trick neil into my car , to force him to go to an aa meeting . i should n't have done either of those things . and i should n't have lied about what happened afterwards . but that 's what alcoholics do . they lie , and they make excuses . and it -- it does n't do any good . i mean , if i had n't lied to neil about where we were going , none of this would have happened . and i am so , so sorry . i know that you ca n't forgive me . i just want you to know that i truly and deeply regret everything i 've done to hurt you . if i could somehow go back and -- and alter things , i would . but at this point , all i can do is offer you my deepest , deepest apology , and hope that someday you can forgive me . christine : i 've been so consumed by anger and grief ever since the accident . and , you know , obviously there will always be a part of me that will be sad for what we lost . but i am tired of being angry . and i ca n't live like this anymore . i ca n't wake up every day feeling hate and rage . nikki : look , christine -- christine : just let me say this . this is n't easy , okay ? i will accept your apology , and i will forgive you , because i have to if i 'm gon na have any chance at a happy future . chelsea : it does n't make sense . are you jealous of adam ? adam : i , uh -- i mean , who would n't be , right ? he , uh -- he had everything . he had you . he had a son that meant the world to him . guy lived the kind of life that we dream about . chelsea : and then he ruined it all with a lie . adam : yeah . he was ... he did n't want to lose his family . chelsea : how would you know what adam was thinking ?

nikki : there 's no point in assigning blame . we just need to think about what 's best for christian . victor : that 's all i 've ever done , sweetheart . nikki : when you filed for custody , i kept quiet . i stayed out of it . maybe because i knew , deep down , that you would never keep that little boy away from nicholas . victor : that was never my intention . nikki : yeah , but here we are , and i ca n't stay quiet this time . adam 's threat is very real . victor : you 're telling me something i already know . nikki : nicholas already knows he has my support . he needs to know that he has yours , too . i comparison shop for everything to get the best deal . gas is 6 cents cheaper here . sale rack ! no ! and , for loans , i go to lendingtree . com . i wanted to consolidate my credit cards in to a personal loan to pay them off faster . lending tree made lenders compete for my business and i ended up with a loan that saved me over $ 9000 and no more credit card debt . i mean $ 9000 ! it 's a lot of money . lending tree , may the best loan win . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . benny : iris , what are you doing here ?

[ sniffles , sighs ] victor : you know , son , very few people in life are given a second chance . and you 're throwing yours away . | abby tells nate how scared she is that victor could die from his illness because everyone she loves has either died or left her and she does n't know who she will be without him . nate invites her to the dedication of the music stage at society in memory of neil and she accepts his invitation . traci continues to write her book and in it iris and velma go rescue flynn who has been kidnapped by iris 's husband derek gould . cane is disappointed when lily calls and tells him she is n't coming to the stage dedication in memory of neil . cane goes to traci 's place and to thank her for always listening to his problems with lily he invites her to the stage dedication and she gladly accepts his invitation . michael goes to adam 's office to warn him that he will do anything he has to do to protect kevin and he also wo n't allow him to use kevin to do his dirty work for him . nikki persuades victor to put christian first and do what he can to make sure that christian is safe and happy . victor tries once again to persude adam to drop the custody suit but adam wo n't listen to him . victor tells adam that he thinks he likes being the outsider and maybe he should have stayed in las vegas . victor tells adam to leave the tack house and adam says that is fine with him because he wo n't have to follow his orders . nikki tells paul that victor is very ill and could die but she makes him promise not to tell anyone . |

mark : i did what you asked -- followed willa after your meeting . victor : and what did she do ? mark : went straight to the airport . took the first flight out . she did n't make contact with ward , though . victor : are you sure ? nikki : well , hello . victor : hi , sweetheart . hi , baby . nikki : hi , darling . victor : hi , my sweetheart . both : mm . victor : i 'm so glad you 're back . nikki : it 's wonderful to be back . victor : let me get that . you know mark , do n't you ? nikki : yes , yes . of course . thank you . victor : let me get that for you . nikki : so , um ... what was it you were just saying about ian ? were you able to find proof that he 's not dylan 's father ? dylan : ian ... do you have a minute ? ian : for my son ? always . what can i do for you ? dylan : well , you 're always saying that your only interest is in helping people . ian : huh . dylan : is that true ? ian : well , it 's been my life 's work , you know -- showing people how to better themselves . i 'm not quite the monster people make me out to be . dylan : then prove it . help paul williams . save his life . [ door opens ] michael : do you think he 's listening ? your boss , i mean . father todd : he 's always listening , michael . michael : i know that they just do n't hand out miracles , but , you know , still , you 'd think if prayers would be granted , you 'd have the inside track . father todd : and how do you know they have n't been ? michael : paul 's not getting any better . no donor has been found . so if you have any in with the man upstairs , i 'd say now 's the time to use it . noah : my wallet . it was behind the bar , and now it 's gone . so , where is it , mariah ? mariah : i do n't know . i did n't take it . noah : oh , so who did -- my dad ? mariah : i do n't know , honest ! why do you assume that i did this ? abby : because you 're a thief . mariah : t t of this , abby ! abby : like hell i will . you steal from my family , and you steal from me . sharon : what 's going on ? nick : noah 's wallet is missing . noah : no , it 's not `` missing . `` mariah took it . all that talk about change -- it 's total bull . she 's just using you to get what she wants . hilary : dinner was wonderful . neil : yeah , it sure was . i love that place . th things lately . but most of all ... i love you . mmm . that ring looks absolutely gorgeous on your finger . hilary : [ chuckles ] neil : how 's that feel ? [ sighs ] like a dream . [ chuckles ] i still ca n't believe we 're getting married . neil : you will be the most beautiful bride . i ca n't wait to see you walk down that aisle . hilary : you know , i -- i think that we should , um ... wait a while ... neil : mm ? hilary : ... before setting a date , you know ? give your kids some time to adjust . neil : adjust ? lily already congratulated us . hilary : yeah , under duress and through clenched teeth . and when devon finds out -- ugh . neil : hey , hey , hey . they 're both adults now . we need to do what makes us happy in life . i think we should take our road to happiness this very minute . what do you say ... we get married ? hilary : [ exhales sharply ] devon : listen , the next time someone asks f discount , do n't ask to see their i.d . , 'cause it 's a little tacky . you know what i mean ? if someone 's really gon na try and save a couple bucks by lying about their age , i do n't care about stuff like that , all right ? thank you . cane : okay , so , i thought she was the manager . devon : she is the manager . anandle that and needed a little distraction . cane : so you talked to neil . he called and left a bunch of messages , but i have n't had time to call him back . cane : yeah , well , i think you need to make time . devon : why ? what 's going on ? cane : neil is getting married ... to hilary . devon : neil and hilary are getting married . cane : uh - huh . devon : when 'd you find this out ? cane : he told us earlier today . devon : what did lily say ? cane : uh , well , she took it better than you are , but the difference is you 're in love with hilary . devon : i 'm not in love with hilary . cane : you said you 're in love with hilary . devon : i never said that . cane : you implied it . devon : i think you 're reading too much into whatever it was i said -- up until a couple weeks ago , i was with esmerelda . cane : oh , you mean the pretty face that you were using to , uh , you know , help yourself get past the time until you had the courage to approach hilary . devon : and look how good that turned out . i got to go to her room and hear her in bed with my dad . cane : well , that 's 'cause you waited too long . see , the question is , do you want to spend the rest of your life pining for your soon - to - be stepmother ? 'cause you know what they say ? speak now or forever hold your peace . leslie : i know i sound like a massive hypocrite . avery : you do . leslie : but i 'm telling you , neil is making a huge mistake . avery : okay , you gave up the right to weigh in on this when you broke neil 's heart . leslie : okay , i did not mean to hurt neil . hilary did ! i mean -- okay , i knew we would n't be happy together in the long run , because we wanted different things . but , i mean , never in a million years did i dream it would be with her . avery : are you having second thoughts about breaking up with neil ? leslie : no . i love barton . but that does n't mean i just all of a sudden stop caring about what happens to neil . [ sighs ] okay . rant over . um , what 's -- what 's going on with dylan ? avery : well , he 's very upset that he ca n't be paul 's donor because of his medical issues and his war injuries . leslie : oh . poor christine . avery : yeah , she 's a wreck . and dylan really wanted to help paul . leslie : yeah , i mean , but being a living donor -- that is a major commitment . avery : and as much as i care about paul ... [ sighs ] ... part of me is really relieved that dylan is not risking his life . ian : why are you coming to me with this ? i thought you said you were gon na be the big hero and save chief williams all by yourself . what was it you said ? you know , take these , uh , worthless genes that i passed down to you and make them count for something ? so why are n't you ? dylan : i ca n't be a living donor because of what happened during the war . i was wounded in afghanistan . i had a splenectomy , and now the doctors are worried that the surgery -- that my body could n't handle it . ian : oh . dylan : but if you 're a match , you could donate . ian : why do you think i 'd be a suitable candidate ? dylan : because my blood type is a.b.-negative , the same as paul 's , which means there 's a good chance yours is , too . come on . at least get tested . it 's a chance to finally do one decent thing in your life . you can save paul . ian : sorry , son . afraid i ca n't help . although i do wish the man luck . nikki : so , why did you shoo that investigator out of here so quickly ? was ian 's ex - wife telling the truth about him not being able to have children ? victor : baby , do n't you get involved in this kind of thing . i do n't want you to be upset . nikki : how can i be calm when we could be losing paul at any second ? if dylan is his son , they both need to be told . victor : for your information , willa did not contact ian ward , all right ? nikki : so she must 've been telling the truth , then , and wanted to get out of town before ian found out . victor : well , or she made it up . whatever . perhaps she just took the money i gave her and hightailed out of here before ian ward realized that she was spreading a lie . nikki : so , in other words , you gave her a big wad of cash in exchange for what ? we still do n't have any proof that ian is n't dylan 's father . victor : i 'll find the proof . nikki : how , victor ? victor : darling , will you stop worrying about that ? you 're hardly home . you 're already worried about that . leave it up to me . i do n't want you to be stressed . nikki : i know . i know . victor : okay . mariah : how stupid would it be for me to steal the wallet of the guy nick hired to babysit me ? nick : well , you 've done a lot worse things for money . sharon : okay , can we please stop throwing that in mariah 's face ? she feels terrible about what she did to me . abby : the only thing she feels terrible about is getting caught . it totally screwed up her cash flow . mariah : so , because i 've been accused of illegal activity before , i 'm guilty . do you know what they call that ? a witch hunt . abby : oh , and you 're here flying around on your broom , wearing a little , black , pointy hat . i think we found our witch . sharon : i am paying mariah 's rent . nick gave her a job here so that she could earn the money to pay me back . uh , she has no reason to steal from anyone . noah : so it 's just a big coincidence , then , that my wallet went missing while she was working behind the bar . mariah : you want to search me , go ahead . knock yourself out . noah : there 's plenty of places you could 've hidden it already , all right ? you know what ? let 's call the cops . i want to report this . sharon : wait . no , no , please . there -- there 's got to be another explanation . anyone could 've taken the wallet . nick : tonight , it was noah 's wallet . tomorrow , it could be money from the register or another customer 's purse . i need to get to the bottom of this to make sure it does n't happen again . look , if mariah 's completely innocent , she should n't have a problem talking to the police . neil : okay , hilary . now , hear me out . i know a judge who owes me a favor . matter of fact , i can have him expedite the license while he 's on his way over to perform the ceremony . hilary : okay , neil , neil , neil [ chuckles ] you were serious ? you want to get married ... now , like , as in , right this second ? neil : yeah , right this second . i know -- i know it sounds crazy , but why not ? hilary : [ chuckles ] neil : it 's a perfect evening . baby , it 's a beautiful setting . and you know paul and christine ? they got married under that gazebo ... last summer . all right ? it was a beautiful wedding . it was spur - of - the - moment , just like this . they 're still going strong . tomorrow 's not promised . all we have is today . need you , hilary . i want you by my side ... as my wife . hilary : [ sighs ] neil : okay . i should know better . i understand . hilary : oh , it -- neil : i bet since you were a little girl , you dreamed about your wedding day . getting married in this park probably is n't your dream . you want a big day with all the trimmings ? baby , i can give that to you . i promise . and i will . hilary : neil ... dreams change . and all i really need ... is you . cane : well , you need to go and tell hilary how you feel about her before neil makes this permanent . devon : so , what -- you saying i should go behind my father 's back and try to steal his woman from him ? how am i supposed to feel good about doing something like that ? cane : well , i did n't say it was gon na be fun . look . what if lily 's right ? what if neil is making a mistake ? devon : [ sighs ] regardless of what lily says , what neil does with his life is his business . and he seems pretty happy with hilary . cane : okay . well , unless you want to spend the rest of your life wondering `` what if ? `` you should go and find hilary and let her know how you feel and see if she feels the same way . leslie : you look far , far away . is it the paul situation ? avery : uh ... [ sighs ] no , there 's something that you should know . i took on a new client , temporarily , and i 'm gon na get a lot of flak for it . leslie : okay ... ? who is it ? avery : austin travers . leslie : the guy who kidnapped you ? avery ! avery : summer is very involved with him , and she asked for my help . leslie : wait , no . but you 're the victim , avery . you should n't even be talking to this guy . now , you know if this goes to trial -- avery : well , i 've let the prosecutor know what 's going on , what i 'm doing . leslie : i know that your niece can be very persuasive , but is this something that you want to do ? avery : okay , austin is young . he does n't have any money . the public defender 's office is a joke . how many times have you and i both said that place is mediocre ? all i 'm doing is i 'm giving him some legal advice until he can find somebody to handle his case . leslie : i do n't care if clarence darrow came back from the dead to defend this guy ! travers is guilty ! end of story ! avery : well , i 've made a career defending people that i believe in , so ... leslie : okay , there is a difference between their guilt and yours . that 's what this is about , is n't it ? you put the man who went on to kill austin 's mother back on the street , so this is -- this is your way of -- of trying to make things right . dylan : [ exhales deeply ] avery : hey . dylan : hey . avery : what 's wrong ? dylan : uh , i made the mistake of trying to appeal to ian 's sense of humanity . avery : what sense of humanity ? dylan : exactly . leslie : what were you , um , hoping he would do ? dylan : well , i wanted to see if he would get tested to see if he shared the same blood type that paul and i do . if he did , he could donate and save paul 's life , but naturally , he refuses to lift a finger . avery : okay , listen . paul is on a transplant list . they can still find a match . dylan : no , stitch says that he does n't have a lot of time . paul needs a transplant today . leslie : uh , i - i have somewhere that i - i need to be , okay ? but , avery , if you want to talk about the case some more -- avery : yeah , yeah . i 'll call you . leslie : all right . avery : [ sighs ] dylan : you must think i 'm an idiot for talking to ian . my father 's proven over and over that he 's only out for himself . avery : i think you 're wonderful for trying to help paul , especially if it means trying to be civil to someone that you despise . dylan : what if it 's paul 's la shot ? avery : [ sighs ] dylan : there may not be anybody left to help him . michael : your mother used to try and do this to me all the time . i 'm just -- i 'm not a churchgoer , todd . father todd : oh , that 's all right . god wo n't mind . michael : well , maybe i do . father todd : [ chuckles ] look , i 'm not asking you to pray . just take a moment to reflect . that helps , too . you 're one of paul 's closest friends , and i know that he respects you a great deal . michael : well , i 'm not sure i deserve that respect . father todd : why not ? michael : [ chuckles ] i 've made some mistakes over the years , todd . so has my brother . so has my son ... not to mention my mother and her screw - up of a husband . father todd : [ chuckles ] michael : if it were n't for paul ... we 'd all probably be stuck behind bars . father todd : oh . well ... he 's always been very compassionate . i remember , when we were kids , we used to go to church on sundays . he would take his entire allowance . he 'd put it in the offering basket that was meant for the poor -- every dime , everything he made doing his weekly chores . and -- and he 'd walk around all week , nothing to spend . and occasionally , he 'd mooch off one of us kids for a - a few bucks for a - an ice cream cone or a comic book . uh , who could refuse that earnest , little face , hmm ? michael : he was beat up a lot as a kid , was he ? father todd : [ chuckles ] michael : sounds about right . he 's gone above and beyond so many times for us . how many times has he literally saved lauren 's life over the years ? father todd : a few . michael : mm . father todd : mm . michael : yeah . kept him busy . i think it 's unfair that christine and paul might not have their second chance . did you know they 're trying to have a child ? father todd : i did . christine told me . i think it 's wonderful . michael : yeah , it will be . i think it 's really unfair . father todd : [ sighs ] michael : he should n't be in that bed . he should -- he should be home with his wife . you tell me , priest . why him ? why now ? father todd : why not him ? michael : [ scoffs ] so , you 're gon na get all metaphysical with me , are you ? well , listen , todd . your brother might die . he might die . you gon na be okay with your god then ? father todd : god works in mysterious ways . his job is to bring balance to the universe . ours is to simply have faith in his plan . michael : [ sighs ] neil : hey , hilary ... hilary : mm ? neil : ... are you really okay with this -- a simple ceremony in the park ? 'cause i do n't want you to feel cheated out of anything . hilary : yeah , no . i do n't need all those fancy things , okay ? simple is fine ... not to mention we wo n't have to worry about any guests standing up to object . [ both chuckle ] neil : okay . you wo n't regret not being able to look back on your special day ? hilary : okay , it 'll be what weddings should be about -- you and me and how we feel about each other ... not the cake or the dress or the centerpieces . neil : that 's why i love you . okay . you know what i need to do ? hilary : mm ? neil : i need to make sure that we can get that license , and we have someone to officiate , so i 'm gon na call that judge , and i 'm gon na get him to come over here -- hilary : it is after hours , all right ? the clerk 's office is closed . listen . why do n't we just wake up early tomorrow , and we can call him then ? or we can go to a justice of the peace , all right ? i - i would still consider that pretty spontaneous . neil : uh , yeah , i 'll have to wait , but i 'm telling you right now i 'm not gon na get any sleep tonight . hilary : who said anything about sleeping ? neil : oh , yeah . that 's g about . hilary : yeah , no . we need to spend the evening apart . neil : i can write my vows right from here , from my heart . that 's what i 'm gon na do . hilary : yeah , that 's good , for you . but i 'm uent , okay ? i need time to collect my thoughts and get them down on paper . yeah , of course , you do . i - i get that . all right . so , here 's what i 'm gon na do . i 'm gon na get a room at the club , and i 'm gon na give you -- -- enough time , whatever you want , to prepare . and then the next time we see each other , baby ... it 's gon na be on our wedding day , here . hilary : [ chuckling ] yeah . neil : yeah ? hilary : yeah . neil : okay . this in the ladies ' room trash . noah : that 's my wallet . looks like someone cleaned it and tossed it . courtney : thanks . mariah : you are welcome to search my purse . you wo n't find the cash or whatever else is missing . abby : no one wants to touch you or any of your skanky things . that 's very mature of you , abby ! thank you ! i 'm sure these officers really appreciate your input . courtney : okay . the next step is just to see if prints can get pulled off the wallet . mariah : go ahead . you wo n't find mine . this is all a setup . courtney : well , who would do that ? mariah : i don ' take your pick . noah was hired by his dad to babysit me because he does n't trust me , and abby hates me because of tyler . courtney : well , then , why do n't you start off by telling me exactly where you were when the wallet was stolen ? mariah : i do n't know when the wallet was stolen . noah : come here . [ quietly ] did you set her up ? abby : [ quietly ] all i did was finish what you started . nice move by leaving your wallet out like that to test mariah . noah : a test she passed . you 're the thief ! abby : oh , calm down . i will give you all of your stuff back once they haul mariah off to jail . now , i am gon na go get a soda and wait for your girlfriend to question me . you 're welcome , by the way . sharon : nick , i asked you not to involve the police , and yet you did . nick : everything we know about mariah proves she 's a liar and a thief . sharon , i do n't want to see you hurt again . sharon : people change . nick : you need to stop acting like this is our chance to get our daughter back . sharon : i am not trying to replace cassie . nick : really ? how come you are so determined to help her , then ? why 'd you even have to bring her back here ? sharon : because mariah needs help ! she needs someone to lean on . she does n't have any family . nick : well , it 's not gon na be us . victor : well , the luggage is upstairs . it 's time for you to settle in and unpack . nikki : [ sighs ] darling , i 'm trying to be patient , but you 're making it so difficult . how are you going to get the truth out of ian ? victor : baby , will you stop worrying about this ? i 'll take care of ian ward . nikki : victor ... victor : what ? nikki : ... do you happen to remember why i left in the first place ? you were doing things behind my back that you knew that i would n't approve of . victor : i do n't want you to worry about this . i will take care of things . [ doorbell rings ] victor : excuse me . [ door opens ] victor : leslie . leslie : i , uh -- i stopped by the club to see nikki , but -- victor : oh ! nikki : hi . victor : please come in . there she is . leslie : i am so sorry to stop by so late , but i - i really need to speak with you . nikki : it -- it 's fine . leslie : okay . victor : i 'll leave the two of you alone , okay ? nikki : thank you , darling . please , come in . leslie : okay . nikki : um ... you seem upset . is everything all right ? leslie : um , well , first of all , i want you to know that i have dropped ian as a client . nikki : wise move . leslie : now , while i was representing him , he , um -- he told me something in confidence , something that you should know . nikki : would n't the attorney - client privilege prohibit you from telling me ? leslie : i could be disbarred for even mentioning it , but i just -- i ca n't , in good conscience , keep this to myself any longer . nikki : well , please , go ahead . leslie : ian ca n't have children . he has known all along that dylan is n't his son . nikki : mm . leslie : you do n't seem surprised . nikki : uh , we had heard something about that , but , uh ... you 've just confirmed it for me . actually , paul is dylan 's father . and now he may die without ever knowing the truth . ian : victor . surprise . victor : so , all this time , you knew ... that dylan is not your son . ian : [ laughs ] not my son ? what ever gave you that idea ? victor : your ex - wife told me that you were sterile . ian : [ laughing ] victor : is n't that s ian : that woman ... victor : yeah ...... ian : she 'll say anything for the right price . victor : and so would you . nikki : i started to suspect that ian was lying when i out that dylan and paul had the same blood type -- a.b.-negative . it 's very rare . only 1 % of the population has it . she confirmed it by telling us that ian ca n't have children . leslie : yeah , i -- actually , um , i just saw dylan at crimson lights . he does n't know about any of that . nikki : oh , god , no . i already turned his life upside - down once . gon na do it again without proof . leslie : oh , well , now you -- now you have proof . nikki : how do you know ian was n't lying ? leslie : well , after he dropped this on me , i , um -- i did some digging just to make sure that it was n't another one of his mind games . turns out ian was involved in a paternity suit . nikki : let me guess -- some poor , misguided follower of his . leslie : well , the woman named him as the father on her child 's birth certificate and was suing him for support . the judge threw out the claim after ian 's doctor submitted documentation that proved that he could n't have fathered that child , or any child . he was in an accident in his early teens which left him unable to , uh , have kids . nikki : who 's to say ian did n't pay the doctor to say that ? leslie : yeah , but i spoke to the doctor myself , and his story , it , it checks out . nikki : so ... that can only mean one thing . leslie : dylan can be told . and paul , too . he deserves to know he has a son , whether or not he can hear you . nikki : yes . dylan : so , what was the case leslie was talking about ? i did n't know you were work already . avery : uh , yeah . i was planning on taking a few days off , but then summer needed my help . dylan : with what ? avery : [ sighs ] austin 's defense . are you kidding me ? the guy could 've killed you , and now you 're defending avery : i 'm not defending him . i 'm advising him until he can find a decent attorney . dylan : i do n't want you anywhere near that nut job ! avery , you 're taking this thing way too far . avery : oh , i 'm taking this way too far ? you were gon na give a piece of your liver to paul . dylan : and -- and i would still donate if i could . but , unfortunately , that decision was made for me . i may not be able to help paul , but you can still make the right choice . get away from austin . avery : [ sighs ] courtney : i do n't think she did it . was mariah set up ? if that 's the case , you need to say something . sharon : you 're not being the least bit fair . nick : to me , it 's more important to keep the people you love safe . noah : look , um , you know , maybe this is just a big misunderstanding . abby : um , noah , can i talk to you like now ? noah : i 've decided i 'm not gon na press charges , okay ? so let 's just forget this ever happened . nick : you were all about calling the police . what changed ? sharon : mariah was right . you set her up , did n't you ? sharon : noah , how could you do this ? noah : it was just supposed to be a test , all right ? i - i left my wallet out to see if mariah had really changed . sharon : is this what you hoped would happen when you asked noah to keep an eye on mariah 's every move ? nick : i just asked him to keep an eye on her , not to frame her . noah : do n't blame dad . it was n't his fault . this was me . sharon : oh , really ? so , then , how did , uh , your wallet end up in the ladies ' room ? did you set that up , too ? mariah : oh , no . that was all abby . she was behind the bar with noah when the wallet went bye - bye . abby : i wish you would go bye - bye . do you know all the spiteful , nasty things she 's done to me ? noah : all right , enough . this was our fault , not mariah 's , okay ? i -- i 'm sorry , mom , how -- how this all went down . sharon : well , tell mariah that , not me . mariah : no . do n't bother . i do n't need this garbage . i can get a crappy job slinging drinks somewhere else . i quit . abby : [ clicks tongue ] darn . avery : you ca n't ask me not to take on a client . i 'm an attorney . this is what i do . dylan : no , what you do is defend people you think are innocent . austin is guilty . avery : you 're not the first person to remind me of that . dylan : look , i can still see him holding that gun on you . and my mind goes to the worst possible place -- that it could 've been you instead of paul . avery : how do you think that i felt when you wanted to have major surgery for paul ? you do n't think that i thought about a doctor coming to me , telling me there were complications , telling me that we lost you ? i 've mourned you already . dylan : you do n't have to be afraid . i 'm not having the surgery . avery : you 're not having the surgery because the doctors wo n't let you ! avery : i have to do this , dylan -- i just do . you feel like you owe paul something -- i owe austin . dylan : you do n't owe him anything . he kidnapped you , and he could 've killed you ! avery : my actions led to a chain of events that took austin 's mother from him , whether or not i meant to . dylan , i have to make this right . i just do . i ca n't live with myself if i do n't . ian : dylan 's paternity would n't even be an issue ... if nikki had n't been a little more selective in the company that she kept . victor : whoa , whoa , whoa . be careful , now , okay ? i 'm gon na make certain that you pay for every rotten thing you 've ever done or said to her . ian : [ chuckles ] i pay ? let 's see . you already had me beaten up . you already messed with my business , my livelihood . what 's next , victor , huh ? you gon na put out a contract on me ? victor : you ai n't seen nothing yet . watch your back . michael : i just lit a candle in the chapel for you . i have no idea if it will do any good . but , uh ... figured it ca n't hurt . at this point , i 'd do just about anything to get you the hell out of this bed . christine needs her husband back . i need my friend . nikki : [ voice breaking ] me , too . michael : come here . nikki : [ crying ] oh , michael . michael : i know . nikki : [ crying ] michael : i know . nikki : [ sobs ] is there any change at all ? michael : i wish i had some good news . nikki : [ sobs ] [ door opens ] father todd : i just spoke to paul 's doctor . could you get christine ? i think she 's down the hall in -- in one of the rooms . she 's getting some rest . michael : why ? nikki : what 's happening ? michael : what did the doctor say ? father todd : paul 's condition is deteriorating . it may be time to deliver last rites . nikki : oh , no . no . [ crying ] paul , no . neil : okay , so , look . i 'm gon na be checking in tonight , so i 'd appreciate it if you 'd put a rush on it , okay ? can you do that ? thank you , my man . cane : so , is , uh , hilary joining you ? neil : is hilary joi -- no , actually , i 'm spending the night here on my own , mr. nosy . cane : why -- did she kick you out of your own place ? [ laughing ] neil : [ laughs sarcastically ] it 's our place now , and no . everything is fantastic . i 'm the one that suggested to hilary that we spend the night apart . make tomorrow even more special . you know what i mean ? cane : what 's happening tomorrow ? neil : we 're getting married . cane : [ chuckles ] really ? uh ... so soon , huh ? neil : no reason to wait . [ sighs ] after i finish checking in , i 'm gon na go find devon . cane : uh - huh . neil : i 'm gon na tell him what 's going on . cane : okay , well , just so you know , uh , i 've already told him you 're getting married . i just have n't told him it was tomorrow . neil : i 'll fill him in . cane : good . neil : and listen to me closely , here . if anyone in this family tries to derail or stop this ceremony ... unh - unh . devon : hey . thanks for meeting me . cane told me that you and neil are getting married . hilary : is that why you 're here -- so you can unload on me some more , tell me why i ca n't go through with the wedding ? devon : you ca n't . hilary : [ sighing ] oh , because i 'm not good enough for your father , right ? devon : no . because i know you 'd be better with me . abby : look , it 's just as well that mariah quit . sharon : oh , be quiet , abby . i do n't want to hear it . what you did was beyond petty . abby : she locked me in a loft all night . sharon : but all you did was prove how insecure you are , being so resentful of tyler 's ex . i ca n't tell you how betrayed i feel . nick : sharon -- sharon : you know what ? i told you how important it was to me to try to help this young girl , and you did n't do anything . you did n't give her a real chance . none of you did ! i ca n't tell you how disappointed i am in all three of you . noah : [ sighs ] i - i 'm sorry i made such a mess . nick : that 's all right , dude . i know you want to protect your mother . noah : what are you gon na do now ? nick : i 'm gon na fight for my family . there 's no way i 'm letting mariah mess things up for sharon and me . mariah : ian . thank god . i need to talk to you , or i am gon na explode . ian : why ? what 's going on ? mariah : i know that you told me to stick to sharon , but it 's kind of hard when the entire town hates your guts , you know ? ian : i know you 're tired of feeling like an outcast . i do understand that . but you -- you ca n't quit now , kiddo . you just have to be patient . not everyone is against you . mariah : oh , really ? well , who 's on my side ? ian : i am , for one ! and that 's all you really need . michael : last rites ? father todd : yeah , i 'm afraid so . michael : i - i 'll find chris . father todd : yeah , i 'll -- i 'll try to get ahold of heather again . nikki : no . [ crying ] paul ... you can not go , not now ... not when you have so much to live for . listen to me . you and christine are gon na have that baby . and even though heather is far away , she still needs her dad . we all do . we all need you so much ... especially your firstborn son . yes , paul . dylan ... he 's your son . dylan is your son . [ crying ] oh , god , please . [ next_on ] devon : you did feel the same things i was feeling , did n't you ? sharon : tell me everything you know about mariah , please . nikki : you let me think that you were dylan 's father , and you knew all along that was impossible . avery : what ? | neil and hilary decide to get married tomorrow in the park . cane tells devon the news and encourages him to tell hilary he is in love with her before it 's too late . devon meets with hilary in the park later to tell her that he is in love with her . abby sets up mariah to make it look like she stole noah 's wallet . abby tells noah about the set up , and he later comes clean to sharon and nick about setting up mariah . mariah is so upset she quits her job and runs to ian who tells her to be patient and wait because he is on her side . victor overhears the conversation and tells ian that he will make him pay for all the pain he has caused nikki . |
kevin : i 'm guessing that you 're trying to help someone or protect someone , and maybe that someone is sharon . and maybe you 're in so deep you ca n't see a way out , and maybe that 's tearing you apart . mariah : all right , i 'll tell you everything . sharon : stop ! dylan : stop what ? what 's going on ? billy : i want to learn about you . i want to know everything about you . i want to wake up to you . when i open my eyes , i want to look into yours . [ cell phone vibrates ] billy : ignore it . [ cell phone vibrates ] phyllis : [ sighs ] is this just coincidence ? billy : is it ... ? phyllis : it 's just an assistant from jabot needing my okay . is that ... ? billy : brash & sassy thing . response from the focus group on the new fragrance . phyllis : okay , then it was just a coincidence . billy : looks that way . [ sighs ] what is it ? phyllis : this . this . us . everything . i mean , maybe those were wake - up calls telling us that our private paradise was n't meant to be . jack : it is not like you to cut corners . it 's not like you to pay someone off to falsify test results . what kind of hold does neville have on you ? ashley : simon neville is a dedicated and brilliant scientist . you know that , jack . his only focus is saving lives , including mine . jack : then why are you committing fraud to change his results ? ashley : do you not want me back at jabot ? is that why you 're doing this ? jack : how do i trust you if you ca n't trust me with the truth ? ashley : you 're right . the truth is everything . i did n't cut corners , jack . and neither did neville . jack : ashley , the police -- ashley : it was hilary . hilary : do you still doubt my love for you ? devon : i 'll tell you after my ears stop ringing , 'cause that was ... that was quite the welcome home . hilary : hmm . proving that lily 's accusation about me having a thing for jack is so , so wrong ? devon : yeah . my sister 's just trying to look out for me . but my wife can be very persuasive . hilary : do you need a little more persuading ? devon : what 's wrong ? billy : it 's not our private paradise 's fault -- it 's everything else . phyllis : maybe this is a sign . billy : give me your phone . phyllis : what -- billy : give me your phone . phyllis : hey . no . jack could need me . summer could need me . billy : or anybody else in the world might need you . phyllis : what are you doing with my phone ? billy : same thing i 'm gon na do with mine . phyllis : oh , come on . you do n't think i 'm gon na rip open that box if my phone rings ? billy : not without my secret weapon . phyllis : ohh , what are you -- oh ! nice . duct tape . billy : that 's right . phyllis : i think i saw a magic show like this . i did , yeah . you gon na clap your hands and rip through the tape and have a little white bunny pop out ? billy : i do have a trick . phyllis : i 'll bet you do . billy : watch this . okay . we 're now allowed to touch those until the spell is broken and my princess has to go home . how 's that ? [ telephone rings ] phyllis : you got a burner phone ? billy : it 's the landline . phyllis : no , no , no , no ! what if there 's an emergency ? billy : nobody calls that number unless they 're trying to sell me something . i do n't even know the number . phyllis : well , sir , could i interest you in a new product ? something that you ca n't live without ? billy : that is something i will buy . i 'll buy 10 of them . jack : it does n't make sense . if dr. neville is innocent , he should just tell them that . ashley : he could n't tell the truth about hilary without implicating himself in a different situation . jack : you 're saying hilary 's blackmailing him ? ashley : yes . she was blackmailing him . jack : with what ? ashley : neville knows who the kidnapper was . that 's who was paying him to treat her . jack : no , he claims he never -- ashley : he was protecting somebody , jack . jack : yeah , he 's protecting himself . he 's an accessory . ashley : just stop . listen to me . neville saved hilary 's life . instead of being grateful , she 's holding it over his head . can you see now why i had to take the blame ? neville has to retain his medical license . this drug trial has got to continue because millions of lives are gon na be saved . now , look , i know you 've got this crazy desire to always see the best in hilary . could you please tell me what the hell is that ? i 'm your sister . she was blackmailing me to stepping aside , jack ! i was fighting for my life ! jack : when she claimed she was just thinking about the research and everyone it would help . ashley : she 's only thinking about hilary . only . i 'm trying to tell you , you 've got to be careful . that woman will use anybody she has to , to get what she wants , and that 's including you . hilary : nothing . i 'm fine . it 's just the air conditioning is a little cold . devon : let me turn it down , babe . hilary : um , devon , you know , i really missed you while you were away . i hate when you 're gone . [ sighs ] devon : honey , even when i am here , you 're the one that seems far away 'cause you 're always busy with the drug trials or helping jack with the foundation . honey ? where 'd you go ? hilary : uh ... i was just thinking , um , you know , that once -- once this is all over , we will have all the time in the world . devon : it 's still gon na be awhile . you know , we have several benchmarks to hit before we get fda approval . and then after that happens , you 're gon na be even more busy than you are now . hilary : i 'm fine , really . devon : you 're not , honey . i think you 're working too hard as it is . it 's affecting your health . hilary : if i had n't have skipped lunch ... devon : babe , do n't blame it on not eating , okay ? hilary : [ sighs ] devon : i 've already lost you once before . i 'm not gon na do that again . hilary : stop being overprotective , okay ? i 've completely recovered from my health scare . i 'm fine , really . devon : i - i still think you need to cut back your hours , babe . hilary : how can i do that now ? ashley admitted to bribing a lab tech . she 's gon na have to step aside . i 'm gon na have to pick up the slack . i 'm gon na have to turn this p.r . nightmare into something that we can use , an advantage of some sort . and plus jack -- he needs me at the foundation . devon : honey , i do n't want you to worry about jack . i 'll talk to him about it . hilary : no , you 're not talking to anyone ! neil : you need some help with that , sir ? dr. neville : you 're late . neil : lighten up . what was so important that i had to drop everything at the foundation and come over here and see you ? dr. neville : your freedom . our secret circle has grown by one . neil : what the hell are you talking about ? dr. neville : ashley found out that hilary 's been blackmailing me . neil : how did she find that out ? dr. neville : i told her . neil : what ? ! dylan : mariah , is everything okay ? mariah : [ chuckles ] stand down , detective . sully is fast asleep upstairs . kevin and i were just hanging out . [ sully crying ] sharon : oh , sully must have heard his daddy 's voice . you should go check on him . dylan : okay . if you 're sure . mariah : now that you guys are back on diaper duty , everything 's good . sharon : sorry dylan was hard on you , but that 's what i love about the man . family comes first with him . kevin : i respect that about him . you want to continue this over a cup of coffee ? mariah : yeah , sounds good . sharon : actually , we have family plans tonight , so thanks for keeping mariah company , and it 's always great to see you , kevin . kevin : you , too . i 'll catch up with you later . mariah : yeah , later . sharon : thank god i walked in when i did . you were about to tell him , mariah : i 'm scared , sharon . keeping secrets is messing with you . sharon : i told you -- mariah : i know , i know . you 're taking your meds , you 're doing everything right . yeah , yeah , yeah . but you 're also having dreams where sage accuses you of keeping her baby from his father . sharon : maybe i should just go off my meds for all the good they 're doing me . mariah : what ? ! are -- are -- are you actually saying that ? are you kidding me ? no , no , that would make things 100 times worse ! think about it . sharon : i have thought about it . you listen to me . dylan -- he is sully 's father in every sense that matters . sully is loved , he 's cherished . he 's ours . if you really care about your family , you will not do anything to threaten that . mariah : so it does n't matter how many people i lie to in the process ? sharon : maybe i should n't have trusted you in the first place . mariah : maybe you 're spiraling out of control again ! sharon : will you stop jumping to that ? mariah : well , stop saying heinous things to me ! sharon : shhh ! i 'm protecting the family that i love . mariah : and so am i . but you just could n't keep it all in , could you ? you had to tell me your secret . so you ca n't blame me for trying to decompress with somebody that i trust ! sharon : you can not trust kevin . you ca n't trust anyone . this needs to stay between you and me ! neil : i thought we agreed that ... [ softly ] i thought we agreed that what happened in that boathouse stayed in that boathouse . now , if the truth comes out , we 're going to jail . dr. neville : point a ... [ sighs ] ... hilary was already fitting me for an orange jumpsuit . it was her idea to bribe the lab tech to fix the drug trial and then tell the police it was my idea . point b , when ashley discovered what hilary was up to , she insisted that we set the record straight . point c , i had to explain to ashley why we could n't do that . neil : so -- so you broke your word and you told her that i kidnapped her . dr. neville : point d , i -- neil : shut up . shut up about your points . ashley 's a smart lady . do n't you think she 's gon na get curious ? dr. neville : of course she 's gon na get curious . she 's a scientist . she 's an exceptional woman . but she also knows what 's at stake . that 's why she lied to the police . she put her reputation on the line to save mine so i could hang on to my medical license and then finish the research . qed -- by taking the blame , ashley has more than proven she is trustworthy . neil : for now . ashley 's a proud woman . if she sees hilary taking advantage of her sacrifice , she 's gon na fight back . and then what 's gon na happen ? hilary 's gon na get agitated , and you and me -- we 're gon na end up in those orange jumpsuits after all . hilary : i 'm sorry that i snapped earlier , okay ? i just -- i would prefer if you left jack out of this . if you 're concerned about my workload at the foundation , you can talk to your dad . devon : why ca n't i talk to jack ? hilary : because jack expects the best from me , and i - i do n't want to disappoint him , okay ? devon : to hell with that . do n't worry about pleasing jack . if you keep pushing yourself like you 're doing while you 're in the middle of this drug trial , you can have another episode , and i 'm not gon na let that happen to you . hilary : well , this is n't up to you . this is my life 's work , devon , literally . devon : honey , you do n't have to -- hilary : to what ? to push ? to prove myself ? god , to hell with that . you know , some people , they -- they might settle for living large as a billionaire 's wife , but that 's not me . i thought you understood that . or maybe that 's what you want from me , hmm ? devon : you know better than that . hilary : do i ? devon : hilary , what is the point of having money and success if we can never find time to share it with each other ? i really do n't think that that 's too much to ask , but , i mean , apparently it seems like it is . hilary : devon -- devon : no , it 's fine . hilary : devon , wait . [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] hilary : i really -- i should n't have said what i said , okay ? billy : are you glad you stayed ? phyllis : neverland is pretty wonderful . even if we both know it ca n't last . billy : it can . phyllis : billy ... this is n't real . once i leave here ... billy : look , all i know is that you 're here now . so let 's just go with it . two strangers from two different worlds seeking refuge in neverland . phyllis : [ chuckles ] no wonder you love that story . peter pan never grows up , he never grows old . billy : wendy loves peter . phyllis : wendy grows up . she forgets . billy : it needs a rewrite . yeah . wendy and peter stay in neverland , live happily ever after . [ doorbell rings ] [ doorknob jiggling ] ashley : billy , let me in ! i know you 're home ! billy : it 's called a phone . ashley : it 's called voicemail . and i am tired of being bumped to it every time i want to talk to my brother . it 's about jack , and it 's really important . billy : what about jack ? ashley : well , lookie here . wine . i can certainly use a drink . it looks like you 're expecting somebody . billy : and what if i am ? ashley : well , i 'm gon na hang out so i can check her out . billy : in that case , i do n't have any plans . okay , so what 's going on with jack ? speak to me . ashley : you 're rushing me . billy : come on . drink , conversation , then you got to go . ashley : mmm . mmm . it 's good wine . billy : ashley . ashley : okay . i 'm stepping back from this drug project i 've been working on with neville . billy : why ? ashley : you really want to know ? it 's kind of a long story . billy : just give me the bullet points . ashley : i want to go back to jabot . jack 's been kind of hesitant about letting me back in . billy : is that it ? okay , well , that 's not a problem at all 'cause jack will come around like he always does . so we can talk about this tomorrow , yeah ? ashley : no , we ca n't . i thought you 'd be way more supportive since the same exact thing happened to you when you wanted back in the company . billy : well , now , why would you think that ? jack exactly , you know , he would n't take my advice nowadays . ashley : [ sighs ] you know what ? you 're so right about that . have you noticed he only listens to hilary ? billy : hilary ? ashley : yeah . i can keep it short . do you want to hear it all ? billy : no , you 're right . let 's table hilary . ashley : [ sighs ] okay , anyway , i want to talk to phyllis about her helping me talk to jack . billy : uh ... ashley : what do you think about that ? billy : i think that 's a good idea . ashley : my problem is i think she might be kind of upset with me because i was so opposed to what you and she did in regard to victor . billy : no , no , i 'm sure she 's over that . ashley : really ? billy : yeah . i mean , i am . i 'm sure she is , too . you guys should do that . you guys would be a really great team . ashley : [ chuckling ] okay , wait . you know what ? you 're being incredibly supportive about this . billy : well , that 's the kind of brother i am . you want to take that for the road ? ashley : no , billy , i 'm driving . uh , i could certainly use a glass of water , though . billy : come on . ash . ashley : i 'll drink it really quickly , okay ? hilary : this is a nice surprise . jack : how are you feeling ? hilary : um , a lot better . i 've been resting , as you can see . trying to take your advice , take care of myself . jack : that 's kind of your strong suit , is n't it ? taking care of yourself . hilary : jack ? what 's wrong ? jack : i just talked with ashley about the fraud charges she 's facing for bribing the lab tech . hilary : it 's an awful situation . i hope you were n't too hard on her . it 's a lot of pressure trying to bring a life - saving drug to the market . i just -- i wish she did n't try and cut corners . it never pays . jack : you 'd know that , would n't you ? because you 're the one that paid to have the results changed and then let ashley take the fall . hilary : i -- jack : do n't even waste your breath trying to deny it . ashley told me everything . hilary : everything ? jack : how it was the only way to protect neville so that he could keep doing his research , given the fact that you 've been blackmailing him for months . am i leaving anything out , or is there something else you 've been lying about ? are you really even sick ? devon : why are n't you at the lab ? dr. neville : because i 'm here . devon : i need you to be producing results , not sitting here . i 've put a lot of money into this research , okay ? if you can , i need you to step up . dr. neville : i 'm sorry . how have i failed to step up ? devon : well , for one , my wife is working herself into the ground , so it 'd be great if you can maybe alleviate some of her stress . neil : what 's the problem , son ? i thought hilary was thrilled to have so much responsibility and the power that goes with it . devon : yeah , she thinks she can do it all , and i 'm worried it 's affecting her health . dr. neville : what about her health ? devon : she 's working herself past the point of exhaustion . the other day , she forgot to eat and she passed out . now , i 'm worried if this keeps going at that pace , things can get worse . dr. neville : definitely will . devon : and what do you mean by that ? dr. neville : i - i -- what i mean is , it does n't take a medical degree to recognize that hilary is overextended . if you 're worried about stress , by all means , get her to step back from the drug trial and leave it to me . neil : leave what to y -- you 're gon na do the pr ? well , that 's hilary 's specialty . no offense , doc , but i really ca n't see you doing p.r . full time . dr. neville : well , perhaps we 'll take a sabbatical in public relations for a while . we 've had too much press . all of it 's been bad . devon : i do n't know about that . press now means more sales for us later . dr. neville : not the kind of press that says our patients are dying . devon : that 's a good point . dr. neville : so at least the three of us are agreed . until the drug is approved , the less we say about it , the better ? devon : agreed . dr. neville : excellent . if you 'll excuse me . neil : hey . you feel better now ? devon : i can lie and say yeah . neil : you 're that worried about hilary ? let me tell you something . hey , look at me . she 's stronger than you think . devon : it 's not just that . i - i 'm -- i 'm actually afraid i 'm losing her . sharon : how is sully doing ? dylan : oh , he just needed me to rub his back and he fell back asleep . where 's kevin ? sharon : oh , he needed some coffee , so he ran out . dylan : oh . why -- why do n't you catch up with him ? sharon : actually , mariah was planning on spending the night in tonight . dylan : [ chuckles ] okay . mariah is , uh , your daughter , not the nanny . sharon : yeah , i know , but -- dylan : yeah , and if chelsea approves , she 's gon na be working full time with you . and before she gets too busy doing that , do n't you think mariah deserves a night off ? mariah : yeah , i do . i definitely do . dylan : have a good time . mariah : bye . [ door closes ] dylan : okay . mariah 's gone . so is kevin . now you can tell me what the dylan : why did you yell `` stop `` when we came in the door ? sharon : oh ! yeah , i ca n't believe i said that . i - i was n't even thinking . i just -- i walked in and i saw that look on my daughter 's face , and i started having flashbacks every time i made a fool out of myself over some guy . dylan : so , you thought mariah was -- sharon : no , she 's still not sure where things stand with kevin , and so ... they 're both giving each other mixed signals . she 's worried that she might wreck their friendship if this becomes a romance . dylan : well , it 's good that , uh , mariah came to her mom for some advice . sharon : even if she does n't take it ? dylan : kids . also good that you have something else to focus on besides the bad dreams you 're having about sage . sharon : yeah . then i could have nightmares about my daughter falling in love or being rejected or both . dylan : it 's gon na be okay . i think once kevin and mariah talk things out , everything 's gon na work out . kevin : well , it sounds like it would be a blast . i 'm just not in the mood tonight . no , i 'm not sick or dying . i just -- hey , let me call you back . mariah : natalie ? kevin : mm - hmm . mariah : you did n't have to do that for me . kevin : she 's got some big plans tonight , something about a diamond - encrusted tiara she bought for an all - night dance party to celebrate the summer solstice . mariah : well , that sounds deranged . [ chuckles ] kevin : i think it sounds fun . i 'm just not in the mood , not when my best friend is hurting , even if she wo n't tell me why . mariah : let 's not do this . kevin : not what ? talk ? mariah : talking is overrated . ca n't we just get some takeout , curl up on the couch , and watch an old movie and -- kevin : and -- and pretend that nothing happened back at sharon 's ? mariah : nothing did . kevin : mariah , you were about to tell me why there is this dark cloud hanging over you and what 's going on with your mom . then sharon and dylan walk in and you shut down . why ? mariah : can we just drop it ? kevin : no , it 's too late ! i saw the look on sharon 's face . she was terrified . and then as soon as dylan left the room , she could n't waste any time hustling me out of there . i was right . this has to do with your mom , does n't it ? hilary : i came too close to death once before , jack , that i would never lie about suffering a relapse . jack : and what about everything else ? hilary : whatever they called me -- ambitious , ruthless , selfish -- i am not a bad person , jack . jack : i never said you were . but good people do n't resort to blackmail , hilary . hilary : well , can good people do bad things for the right reasons ? jack : okay , if you 're not gon na open up to me , i 'm out of here . hilary : i did n't try to hurt your sister , okay , and i was n't meaning to blackmail dr. neville . jack : yet that 's exactly what you did . hilary : i was trying to protect a member of my family . i am sure that you would have done the same . jack : a member of your fam -- what are you talking about ? hilary : i gave my word . i - i just -- i ... jack : wait a minute . hilary : i wish none of this had ever happened . jack : are we talking about your kidnapping ? you know who abducted you , do n't you ? who held you all those months while you were in a coma . hilary : yeah . jack : is that who you 're protecting now ? no more lies , hilary . tell me . who is it ? ashley : why is your phone disconnected ? something very strange is going on around here , billy . billy : nothing strange going on . i just wanted some quiet time . ashley : quiet time ? with a blanket on the floor and two glasses of wine ? clearly you lied to me . you have a date tonight . billy : ashley , there 's nothing going on . i was just -- ashley : just save it . no more bs stories . i 'm not gon na believe you anyway because i know that you 're lying to me . okay , fine . thank you in advance for helping me with phyllis . billy : anytime . except , of course , now . [ sighs ] ashley : goodbye . billy : bye . love you . ashley : love you , too . billy : [ chuckles ] phyllis : are you out of your mind ? you want me to work with your -- billy : okay , hold on now . take it easy , right ? this is our private paradise . no interruptions , no intrusions , remember ? phyllis : no , no , no . you opened the door and you gave wine to that intrusion . billy : what did you want me to do ? she walked in , she was already suspicious . if i would have let her on to anything , she would have had a full - scale intervention here with the whole family . at least this way she 's convinced that i 'm here by myself . phyllis : the only thing that she 's convinced of is that she and i would make a really good team . billy : i think you would . i do . you 're both pros . you both have amazing brains . you both have a fire in the belly to execute anything . that 's a win / win . phyllis : no . it is a lose / lose . billy : [ sighs ] phyllis : the more i work with your sister , the more i 'm gon na have to explain whatever this is , this secret , and it is too dangerous . i need you to call her and say that you 've reconsidered and that you -- you have decided that it 's a bad idea . unless you want to tell the rest of the world about us . ashley : it 's the summer solstice . it 's the longest day of the year , when the earth 's north pole tilts directly toward the sun at 23 degrees . dr. neville : 23.4 , to be exact . ashley : [ chuckles ] dr. neville : though i do love it when you speak astronomy . it 's hot . ashley : i 'm glad i can make you smile , 'cause i 've got something to tell you . dr. neville : no , there 's something you need to know first . hilary 's symptoms are getting worse . ashley : are you sure ? dr. neville : positive . it 's just a matter of time before devon figures out she 's relapsed , which means there will be more questions about the drug trial , which means eventually you 'll be forced to tell the truth . hilary : she already has . mariah : i have been worried about my mom . kevin : and that 's all you 're gon na give me ? mariah : that 's all that there is . i 've been worried about my mom . end of story . kevin : mariah , whatever this is , it 's hurting you to keep it inside . i ca n't imagine that sharon wants that . mariah : sharon just wants it all to go away . kevin : will it ? let me help . mariah : you ca n't ! i ca n't ! sharon has n't been the same . she has n't felt the same since -- since the baby . kevin : what about the baby ? mariah : sharon feels like there 's something missing in her relationship with dylan . passion , spark , so , um , she does n't feel comfortable going to him about it , so she 's used me as a sounding board . kevin : wow . that 's , uh , that 's a lot for a mom to lay on her daughter . no wonder you 're upset . mariah : well , you 've helped me say it out loud , so that takes a load off . kevin : i 'm glad i could help . mariah : and forget i told you , okay ? sharon 's little secret should stay her secret . kevin : oh , yeah , yeah . of course . one question , though . do you really think that you can give your mom relationship advice ? dylan : mariah 's out . faith is with summer . sully 's sleeping . how are we ever gon na pass the time ? i kind of like this . we should have date night more often if you could stop worrying about mariah . sharon : well , i 'm trying , but it 's not that easy , you know ? no matter how old they get , you still worry about them . dylan : yeah . i was thinking the same thing upstairs with sully . i mean , in the blink of an eye , he 's gon na be a professional baseball player . that means a college scholarship . sharon : college is a long ways away , dylan . so much could happen . dylan : yeah , i know , but we got to plan for this , you know ? i was n't -- i was n't born into money , but it does n't mean i want less than the best for my son , and that 's how it 's gon na be for sully if his dad has anything to say about that . nothing but the best for him . billy : there 's a part of me , the braggadocio part , that would love to tell the rest of the world how i feel about you . phyllis : do n't even joke . billy : i know that this has to stay private for now . i get that . phyllis : then why would any part of you , braggadocio or not , suggest i work with your sister ? billy : hey , where 's that risk taker , hmm ? the one that jumps on the back of a motorcycle and goes for a ride , the one that spends forbidden days here in paradise ? phyllis : i 'm scared . i 'm just really scared at being found out for the lying alley cat that i really am . billy : alley cat ? i kind of like that , actually . that 's what we are . what we lack in pedigree we make up with survival skills . ashley 's not gon na find out about this , okay ? nobody will . phyllis : i do n't know if i could handle that . this is wrong . but i think i 've come too far to lose you now . billy : you wo n't . and i wo n't lose you . it 's not how this story ends . phyllis : what kind of story ? billy : our love story . hilary : your friend ashley could n't keep your secret for more than a few hours . dr. neville : whom did you tell ? hilary : oh , she already went to jack to preserve her precious reputation . she threw me under the bus , and she could n't care less if it dragged you down with me . ashley : you know what ? my brother has a right to know the truth before you put your own particular spin on it . hilary : you may think that you 're protecting your brother , but all you did was ensure that dr. neville ends up behind bars and the people that could have been saved , the lives that have no other hope , doomed . are you proud of yourself , ashley ? was it worth it ? neil : okay , listen to me . if i take on more responsibility at the foundation , what 's it gon na do ? it 's gon na lighten hilary 's load . it 's gon na keep her healthy and give her more time to work on your marriage . devon : i really appreciate you offering that . i do . but i 'm -- i 'm just afraid she 'll accuse you of working your own agenda and , you know , trying to get her pushed out . and besides , you need to be focusing on your own recovery . how 's that going ? neil : day by day . but i 'm getting my life back on track . devon : that 's good to hear . neil : okay , now , i - i want you to make the most of your life , and if hilary ca n't be a part of that , then i -- jack : it was you , you son of a bitch . you kidnapped hilary . mariah : are you suggesting that i lack the expertise that it takes to make a relationship work ? kevin : oh , no , no , no , no , no . you 're definitely an expert -- on what not to do . mariah : oh , really ? really ? and you 're the expert ? you ? kevin : not an expert , but i have been married . mariah : mm - hmm . and now you 're not . so how much of an expert can you really be ? kevin : okay , fine . we 're both equally inept at the game of love . mariah : definitely . kevin : i 'm right there with you . no chips , no cards , no shirt on my back . mariah : and that is what i like about you , kevin fisher . you know your limitations . kevin : and hey , if i forget , you 're there to remind me . mariah : absolutely . uh , speaking of limitations , am i keeping you from natalie and your all - night dance party ? kevin : hey , what is it with you and your mom ? you 're both trying to get rid of me tonight . mariah : you 're really not gon na go ? you have to go . take a picture of swizzlestick in her tiara . i live for that stuff . kevin : okay , fine , i 'll go , but only because you asked me to . and if you need to unload any more secrets , i 'm -- i 'm a text away . mariah : kevin ? kevin : yo ? mariah : thank you . hi . is this the service ? yeah , i need to leave a message for dr. miller . sharon : who 's there ? who are you ? what are you doing ? where are you going with my baby ? sage : it 's my baby . it 's my christian . and i 'm taking him back to his father , to nick . sharon : no ! [ gasps ] [ sighs ] [ next_on ] victoria : so here i am . travis : here you are . now we just have to figure out why . lily : what 's going on ? devon : we may all be going to jail . lily : what ? jack : this was a calculated plan that ended up in a string of felonies . | mariah almost tells kevin the truth about baby sully , but sharon begs her to keep her secret . mariah tells kevin that sharon feels like the passion has gone out of her marriage . sharon continues to have nightmares about sage taking away baby christian and giving him to nick . ashley almost catches billy and phyllis having sex , but phyllis is able to hide before ashley sees her . hilary tells jack that neil was her kidnapper and everything she has done with the drug trial was to keep neil from going to jail . hilary 's symptoms continue to get worse , and dr. neville fears that she will be back in a coma very soon . billy wants phyllis to work with ashley at jabot , but phyllis is afraid ashley will find out about their affair . |
victoria : i told you last night i 'm fine . i do n't need a pep talk before the deposition . billy : yeah , well , maybe i need one . victoria : [ sighs ] why ? billy : how do i testify about cane and not make him sound like a slimeball ? victoria : seriously ? can you two just table this for one day ? billy : no , juliet knows that we ca n't stand each other , and i 'm sure she 's given her lawyer plenty of ammunition . i do n't want to slip up and , you know , hurt the company . victoria : i would n't worry about that . billy : really ? why is that ? victoria : because juliet 's case hinges on one lie , that cane promised to promote her career in exchange for sex with him . once michael gets her to admit that that 's not true , then her case is toast and we can all move forward . billy : i would n't be too sure . michael : now , we 'll be in a conference room instead of a courtroom , but you 'll still be under oath . i 'll be questioning juliet , looking for ways to punch holes in her case . cane : while leslie does the same to me . okay . michael : all right , that 's what discovery 's for . cane : what 's she gon na focus on ? michael : tokyo . she 'll want to know every detail of your time spent with juliet , what was the name of the bar where you had drinks , how long were you there , did the conversation get personal , when you passed her the sake menu , did your fingers brush hers . she 'll try to get you to say you said something that could be construed as sexual , so you stay on your toes . right ? so the whole point of this is to find out all about their evidence and the strategy they 're planning . cane : well , all leslie has is juliet 's claims . michael : hmph . well , we have a whole team to refute them . we should be going . is lily ready ? cane : [ sighs , sniffs ] uh , no . she 's not coming . michael : yes , she is . cane : no , no , she 's not . no , absolutely not . no , no . graham : you dined alone last night and this morning . dina : well , i thought you could fend for yourself . graham : dina , please . talk to me . what have i done to offend you ? dina : i think you know perfectly well . graham : oh , is this about ashley ? i explained . that was nothing . dina : nothing ? seemed pretty cozy to me . graham : she was on a fishing expedition . your children do n't understand our relationship or why i 'd want to spend time with you . dina : why do you , graham ? hmm ? and what 's in it for you ? ashley : [ sighs ] jack : come on . you wo n't even consider it ? come on . ashley : who does that ? how can you pimp out your own sister ? gross . jack : i 'm desperate . ashley : i am not hitting on graham to make dina jealous . jack : look , if we are gon na pry that man away from our mother , we 're gon na have to pull the heavy artillery . ashley : it 's not that easy , jack . she relies on him for everything . she does n't want him out of her life . jack : sometimes people do n't know what 's best for them until you help them to realize it . ashley : [ sighs ] [ knock on door ] victor : yes ? how about convincing your colleagues to buy tickets , as well ? good ! i owe you one , howard . right on . bye - bye . abby : hi , dad . we need to discuss what the -- what 's that ? scott : the poster for nikki 's concert . victor : looks good . thank you . [ piano playing ] [ music stops ] nikki : [ sighs ] [ piano resumes ] [ sour notes ] [ sighs ] [ piano playing ] [ music stops ] [ crowd booing ] you suck ! victor : i told you . you are nothing without me . sharon : nikki ? i just saw bonnie outside . she told me to come in . nikki : oh , that 's fine . um , what can i do for you , sharon ? sharon : well , faith left her sweater here on her last visit . nikki : oh , yeah , yeah . uh , i just saw that somewhere . sharon : i think there it is right there . nikki : oh ! how about that ? right in front of me . i did n't even see it . [ clears throat ] sharon : you seem preoccupied . nikki : well , i guess it 's just one of those days . sharon : i hear you 're giving a concert . that sounds glamorous . nikki : it 's hardly glamorous . it 's a lot of hard work . i spend every free moment practicing . sharon : so , how 's that going ? you feel ready ? nikki : well , i 'm , uh , definitely outside of my comfort zone . but this neurological center is victor 's baby , and he donated an awful lot of money , so i ca n't let him down . sharon : i know it 's hard for you being under that much pressure . and i saw you holding that bottle of liquor when i walked in . abby : okay , dad , what should i tell legal ? should i have them execute the contracts , or should i have them wait ? victor : right now i just want to focus on nikki 's concert , okay ? it 's important it 's totally sold out . scott : i 'm sure she 'll appreciate that . victor : yes , i have a list of likely donors , people i 've been acquainted with for years . i 'm sure you two will get those seats filled in no time at all . abby : wait , i 'm -- i 'm sorry . you want us to sell tickets , like door - to - door salespeople ? scott : as much as i 'd like to help , i , uh , i 've got my hands full with hashtag . abby : wait , he 's just running a little digital media company . it 'll be much easier for him to make time . scott : you always say how great you are at multi - tasking . now 's the time you get to prove it . victor : in case i was n't clear , this is not a request . abby : but , dad -- victor : all i ask is that you both spend some time on this charity . it 's for a worthwhile cause . am i clear ? i 'll e - mail you both a copy of the list . divvy it up as you see fit . cane : no , i do n't want lily anywhere near the depositions . no . no ! michael : all right , cane , listen to me . i understand you wanting to spare your wife any discomfort given the subject matter . but it is critical the brash & sassy team present a united front . cane : billy and victoria will be enough to rattle juliet . we do n't need lily . lily : do n't need me for what ? michael : i want you at the deposition . your husband is opposed . cane : because she does n't have to be there 'cause she 's not testifying . lily : do you think it 'll help if i 'm there ? michael : the point is to intimidate juliet . nothing will shake her up more than seeing your face as she contemplates lying about a sexual encounter with him . cane : do n't let him guilt you into this , okay ? lily : no , cane , he 's not . i want to be there . i want to let juliet know that she ca n't lie about you . and i want to see her face when you 're vindicated . billy : even if i do n't sink the case , you know who could . the man himself , mr. cane ashby . victoria : i wish that cane would have said something about juliet having to salvage the deal with mr. sato . billy : no , he did n't want to make himself look bad . instead , michael gets blindsided . and for his next trick , he goes -- victoria : i know , i know . he never should have gone to juliet to try to convince her to drop the case . i know that . billy : that was stupid . and it makes me think that he 's hiding something else . victoria : come on . i know that cane has made mistakes , but he 's never even looked at another woman . i mean , we both know how devoted he is to lily . billy : come on , vick . men can love their wives and still end up cheating on them . victoria : i mean , think about it . have you ever seen cane mistreat a woman , including juliet ? i mean , he was her biggest supporter . and now she 's turned on him . and it 's appalling , billy . billy : you know there 's a knife sticking out of your back , too . victoria : i know . i went out of my way for juliet . i mentored her . i tried to give her interesting and challenging assignments . and then when i was forced to fire her , i tried to help her . i gave her a decent severance package , and i told her i would give her a glowing recommendation , and this is how she repays me ? you know what , billy ? i am going to teach that woman a lesson . i do n't want her to just drop this lawsuit . i want her to be humiliated . dina : you know , you 're my closest friend and most trusted adviser . the only person in the whole world that i can truly count on . unlike my children , who still want to wallow in all the pain i caused . [ sighs ] graham , i need to know that i can count on you . graham : always . i ca n't believe you would ever doubt that . dina : well , after all , you are a young man . and why would you want to hang out with an old gal like me ... graham : [ chuckles ] dina : ... when you have such a wonderful social life ? you could have it . graham : no , i 'm happy and content . and i know that you need me . dina : i do . i really do . oh , you know , it was so hard for me to see you with ashley . she 's -- she is so beautiful and so much younger . graham : no , i 'm not interested in other women . my only care is protecting you . and your children would like nothing better than for me to pack up and get on a plane back to paris alone . dina : oh , no . please . you must n't do that . graham : i wo n't . i promise . i 'm not gon na let ashley or anyone else dictate what i can and ca n't do . jack : mother is a proud , territorial woman . the minute she suspects that graham is succumbing to your charms , she will drop him like that . ashley : you are certifiable . i say that with all the love in my heart . but you are crazy if you think i 'm gon na do a little flirting with graham . jack : what is the problem ? ! he 's intelligent , he 's urbane , he 's not too bad on the eyes . ashley : it 's immoral , and it 's also illogical . jack : what is illogical about this ? ashley : okay , say i went along with it . first of all , our mother would hate me forever . she would never forgive me . second of all , graham 's not gon na fall for it . he 's not gon na kill the golden goose , jack . why is he gon na show interest in me if he knows how dina 's gon na react ? hello ! jack : because he 's a man . ashley : eww . i will continue reaching out to graham as a friend . and if i find out he 's using our mother in any way , i will expose him . the end ! jack : fine . i still think i have the better idea , but -- ashley : i know that look . should i even ask ? jack : i just figured out how to make this work ... without your help . victoria : i ca n't wait to get this over with . billy : makes two of us . it looks like the gang 's all here . lily , did n't expect to see you . lily : yeah , michael wanted me here . and i 'm here to support cane and the company and to show my former friend she 's not fooling anyone with her phony story . victoria : i love it . i 'm glad you 're here . michael : listen up . before the other side gets here , i have a few rules . billy : let 's hear them . michael : as angry as we all are at juliet , do not get emotional . answer only the exact question asked . listen very carefully to how leslie words things , because if she can , she will trip you up , so you keep your answers short and direct . do not elaborate . do not speculate . if you 're not testifying , keep your mouth zipped . and do not react . any questions ? all right , there are pads and pens on the table . if you have a significant question or comment , write them down and bring them to my attention on the break , and only then . i can not speak to you during the proceeding . while leslie is conducting her interviews , i will not say a word unless i have an objection . and if i do object , i will probably tell you to go ahead and answer the question , as it is on the record and i can object later on to its later admission into court . victoria : well , we 're not going to court . my goal is to get juliet to drop this ridiculous lawsuit . michael : let 's hope that it turns out that way . cane : do you have any other words of wisdom ? michael : it 's okay to admit that you do n't remember , if you really do n't . what you can not do is lie . you are being held to the same standard as you would if a judge were present . if you fail to tell the truth , you may be charged with perjury and go to prison . leslie : good morning , everyone . michael : leslie , juliet . leslie : i 'm surprised to see so many people here . michael : oh , they 'll all be sitting in on the entire proceeding . leslie : that 's an intimidation tactic . michael : my clients have every legal right to be present . leslie : you should have provided me with notice . i can call the judge right now , ask for an emergency protective order to limit the number of attendees . juliet : they can stay , including lily . i wo n't let them get to me , although i 'm sure they 'll try . abby : i 'm up to my eyeballs in actual work , and now i have to unload all these tickets to nikki 's vanity project . scott : i 'll admit it 's beneath our pay grade , but , you know , it 's kind of impressive that victor 's doing this for his wife . pretty , uh , romantic , actually . abby : yeah , if he were n't pawning all the work off on us . scott : well , think about it like this . it 's a gorgeous summer day , and we 're not stuck inside . abby : can you please stop looking on the bright side ? it 's super annoying . scott : look , this should n't be that hard . and as a journalist , i 've developed an aptitude for building a rapport with people . abby : oh . are you implying that i do n't have that aptitude ? scott : i 'm just saying that i 'll probably have an easier time finishing than you . abby : want to bet ? here is a list from my dad 's e - mail . whoever takes longer to sell all their tickets has to buy the other one coffee for a week . scott : not everything has to be a competition . abby : afraid to lose ? scott : make a note . i take my cappuccino with two shots of espresso . abby : [ laughs ] okay . nikki : sharon , you 're really making way too much of this . sharon : you were tempted to take a drink . that 's a big deal . nikki : do you think that i would sacrifice my sobriety because i 'm nervous about a concert ? sharon : do you really expect me to believe that that 's all this is about , you being nervous ? nikki : i have never performed in front of that many people before . sharon : you used to take your clothes off for a room full of strange men . why would playing the piano at a charity event freak you out ? nikki : my dancing was a whole different thing , and it was a long time ago ! sharon : you know , i 've been volunteering at a crisis hotline , and i 've been trained how to talk to people when they 're feeling low and help them with their issues . maybe i can help . nikki : well , sharon , i think that crises are your expertise , but , uh , at the moment , i do n't really need an armchair psychologist , thank you . graham : i did n't mean to upset you more , but i had to be honest . i do n't think jack and ashley will ever truly accept or trust me . dina : [ chuckling ] well , they sure have a lot of questions . graham : well , they do n't understand our relationship , and that 's fine by me . what we have works for us . we should n't have to explain ourselves to anyone . dina : well , i 'll tell you what . i 'll make it perfectly clear that they will not cause us any trouble . [ chuckles ] ashley : so graham is from the midwest , just like he said . ravi : yeah , but it 's his early career that surprised me . he was a professional actor for a while . not a lot of credits . ashley : i see that . so he started as an extra , did a little work in the states , and a short film overseas . at least he made some money . ravi : not enough . his last credit was from 1999 . ashley : so what else did you learn about his past ? ravi : not much . i mean , for someone working such a high - profile company like mergeron , there 's really not a lot about him online . just a few business ventures from the early 2000s . how long has he been working with your mother ? ashley : he said about a year . and he also said he does have business experience . ravi : it 's possible , but i did a dive , and that 's not showing up in my search . ashley : so how does a wannabe actor end up being the right hand to a woman of my mother 's stature ? ravi : i suppose he has the right skills for her needs . ashley : [ laughs ] ravi : i did n't mean it like that . [ chuckling ] though , actually , that probably is why . never mind . it 's fine . ashley : do n't be embarrassed . i basically asked graham the same thing , and he denies that they were ever lovers . ravi : you believe him ? ashley : i do n't know . i do n't really care . the only thing that matters is that he holds sway over my mother . and she 's very possessive of him . it 's weird . jack 's trying to find something to drive a wedge between the two of them so that maybe she 'll send graham away . ravi : think it 'll work ? ashley : i think we 're gon na find out soon enough . jack : i realize you were a little upset with me yesterday . i am sorry . i did not mean to make you feel like you 'd been tossed out . gloria : i 'm the one who should apologize for being so needy . it 's always sad to see a good thing end . and we both know how good it was . i 'm ready to move on . jack : well , i 'm glad to hear you say that . gloria : oh ? jack : well , you 're a woman who enjoys the company of men , and there are plenty of eligible men nearby to , uh , enjoy your company . gloria : hmm . got somebody in mind ? jack : mother 's companion , graham bloodworth . what do you think ? gloria : i 'm trying to decide . do i kiss you or slap you ? leslie : when mr. ashby and ms . helton informed you the contracts for the asian distribution deal had been signed , how did you respond ? victoria : i was ecstatic . i told them they should go out and celebrate . leslie : can you be more specific ? victoria : i suggested that they should have dinner on the company and go out and see tokyo and enjoy the sights of the city . leslie : i obtained a copy of their expense reports for the evening , which you approved . in addition to some other alcoholic beverages , they ordered three bottles of sake . is it typical for employees to drink that much on a trip ? victoria : i would n't say it 's typical , but it 's not unheard of . leslie : when you saw the expense reports , did you question mr. ashby about his alcoholic purchases and how it affected his behavior on the trip ? victoria : no . leslie : you are aware that heavy alcohol consumption is frequently a precursor to sex . michael : objection . calls for speculation . you may answer . victoria : i 'm not an expert on the statistics of alcohol in terms of its influence on sexual relations . leslie : after returning from his trip , did mr. ashby recommend that you hire ms . helton full time ? victoria : yes . leslie : for what job ? victoria : division manager for asia . leslie : would you describe mr. ashby 's recommendation for a woman he had worked with only once as enthusiastic ? victoria : i would . leslie : did you invite ms . helton to fly in for an interview from tokyo ? victoria : yes . leslie : how 'd that go ? victoria : [ sighs ] very well . leslie : did you offer her the job ? victoria : no , i did n't . leslie : why not ? victoria : i needed somebody with more experience . leslie : i see . how did , uh , mr. ashby respond to the news that ms . helton did n't get the job ? victoria : he was disappointed , but he understood my reasoning . leslie : but you were impressed enough with her that you created a new position as marketing executive . victoria : yes . leslie : based here in genoa city . victoria : correct . leslie : did you consider anyone else for the job ? victoria : no , i did not . leslie : you were obviously very impressed with ms . helton 's skill set . and you believed she 'd be an asset to the company . victoria : i did ... then . leslie : how did mr. ashby react to the news that he 'd be working so closely with ms . helton ? victoria : he was surprised . leslie : no longer enthusiastic ? victoria : he stood by his endorsement , but he did n't think that juliet would want to relocate from so far away . leslie : or perhaps he 'd hoped she 'd stay far away from his workplace and his wife . sharon : i think that there are issues other than the concert that are bothering you . nikki : and why would you say that ? sharon : well , i 've noticed things have been a little different lately . i know that nick is upset with victor , and he wo n't say why . but i 've also noticed that you two do n't invite faith over here as much . nikki : well , we want her to adjust to living with her parents again . sharon : you want me to stay out of your business . nikki : would you please ? sharon : nikki , believe it or not , i really do care . and we are still family . you know , for a little while , i thought maybe you and victor were having problems again . but then when he donated all that money to the university for a medical building in your name , and then he set up this concert for you to star in , i - i assumed i must have been wrong . nikki : well , i just wish he 'd asked me if i wanted to do a concert before he offered my services . sharon : so victor 's forcing you to do this ? why would he do that ? nikki : you know victor and his grand gestures . he booked the concert and then told the university that i would be the entertainment before he ever told me . [ cell phone rings ] nikki : excuse me . hi , darling . victor : been awhile since you 've called me that . nikki : yes , well , i have company . victor : i just want you to know that the tickets for the concert have gone on sale . i 'm sure it 'll be a sold - out crowd . nikki : i knew you would fill it to capacity . victor : well , i 'm sure it 'll be a night to remember . nikki : okay . thanks for calling . what ? problem ? sharon : [ sighs ] let me ask you something . if victor had just asked you to perform in advance , what would you have answered ? nikki : i would have passed . i have no interest in being the poster child for ms . sharon : you know , you 're doing remarkably well . nikki : yeah , well , i do n't have to prove it by playing piano in public . sharon : why do n't you just say that to victor ? why pretend the way you just did ? nikki : because he wants to remind me who i am and who i 'm not . sharon : i do n't know what that means . nikki : victor thinks it 's the same thing of me sitting here playing the piano just for fun as it is doing a concert for lots of people , and he thinks because my last name is newman that i will be magnificent , i will be brilliant . he just does n't understand . i 'm an amateur . i just like to tinker around at home for fun . sharon : then go at it with that attitude . you know , this is a charity event . nobody 's gon na think any less of you if you 're not letter perfect . you just go out there , you have fun , and if you make a mistake , you shrug your shoulders . you smile about it . do n't put this kind of pressure on yourself . it 's not good for you . nikki : you 're probably right . just need to get rid of my jitters and i 'll be okay . sharon : yeah . everything will be okay , nikki . you have a lot of people rooting for you . nikki : you know , maybe this , um , therapeutic thing is up your alley . you might be pretty good at it . if you do n't mind , i got to get back to the piano . sharon : okay . i 'll get out of your hair . nikki : okay . [ door opens ] [ door closes ] scott : yeah , it 's gon na be a spectacular evening . thank you . bye . abby : so , how 'd it go ? scott : i sold most of my tickets . wo n't be long till i can cross off all the names on the list . abby : hmm . that 's good . scott : mm - hmm . abby : not as good as this , but ... [ chuckles ] done and done . scott : congratulations . but you did have a bit of an advantage . the society types already know you . abby : uh , no , actually , most of them were strangers , although they wo n't be for long . i 'm going to the dog park with harold greely . he has a shih tzu , and since i 'm thinking of getting one myself ... scott : no , you 're not . abby : and then i 'm playing in a mixed doubles tennis tournament at the country club with george randolph . ca n't stand the guy , and i have n't played tennis in years , but hey , it 's for charity , right ? scott : did you even bother to talk about the , uh , the cause ? abby : it came up , but the key to sales is selling the salesperson , not the product . i just figured out what we had in common , and i went from there . scott : so in other words , you flirted with a bunch of rich , older guys . abby : ah , do n't act like you did n't lay the charm on really thick with all those rich , old women . and do n't diminish my accomplishment just because i 'm better at something than you are . sharon : excuse me . you two need a referee ? jack : so that 's the whole plan . what do you think ? gloria : i can see why ashley hates the idea , but now you 're asking me to do it , make nice with a man i hardly even know . jack : i saw the little twinkle in your eye the day you met graham . gloria : he 's handsome . so what ? jack : what could be so bad about this ? you get to know him a little better . you stage a seduction so that my mother washes her hands of this clown . gloria : this guy 's really got you that worried , jack ? jack : yes , he 's got me worried . graham bloodworth is a gigolo . he 's insinuated himself into my mother 's life so he can get his hands on her money . he saw an older woman alone , and he played on her emotions so well that she now considers him family . i hate that mother is being exploited by him . please . please help me out . gloria : hmm . i can see where you 're coming from . and i feel for you , jack . but this little scheme you are proposing is reckless , even for you . sorry . ca n't get involved . ashley : thank you for all the work you did on this . ravi : of course . if you need me to do any more digging or anything else , let me know . ashley : i appreciate it . and by the way , jack does , too . ravi : i know you 're concerned about the hold this graham person has on your mom . ashley : it 's just so strange . the dina i know would never let any man or woman call the shots . graham : are you sure you 're all right now ? dina : i 'm just fine . and so are we . graham : i 'll call you later . dina : okay . bye . graham : jean - marc . graham bloodworth . fine , thank you . i 'm glad i caught you before you left for the day . madame mergeron wants to make sure her legal situation is squared away now that she 's decided to stay in genoa city . she wants to finalize her will immediately . no . she does n't want to change anything from what she told you in paris . she would like to sign it as soon as possible . leslie : so your contention is that you fired ms . helton for cause ? victoria : juliet was careless . she passed on misinformation that caused us to lose a very lucrative tie - in deal with a professional sports league . but firing the person responsible was a non - negotiable condition for maintaining that deal . leslie : how did mr. ashby react to ms . helton being fired ? victoria : he was upset . he told me that i made the wrong call . leslie : during your conversation with ms . helton when you let her go , did you tell her , `` no one ever has to know the real circumstances surrounding your termination `` ? victoria : or words to that effect . leslie : sounds like you were trying to cover something up . michael : objection . leslie : i 'll rephrase . victoria : your implications are not true at all . you 're taking my remarks out of context . leslie : well , then please put it in context for me . victoria : i promised juliet that i would give her a good recommendation so that she could claim that she left of her own accord so that the trajectory of her career would not be harmed . leslie : if she made such a costly , embarrassing mistake , why would you do that for her ? victoria : at the time , i thought she was a decent human being . leslie : one last question . are you willing to state for the record with absolute certainty that cane ashby could not have used his position at brash & sassy to coerce juliet helton into a sexual relationship ? scott : victor obviously thought it was amusing as hell assigning us both a project that he knew would piss us both off . abby : [ chuckles ] scott and i made a little wager on who could sell the most tickets in the least amount of time . and he is a very sore loser . scott : oh , so now you 're the gracious winner ? abby : i guess we 're both a little frustrated with my dad and taking it out on each other . sharon : sounds like a truce . abby : i will take that coffee now , though . scott : and how would madame take it ? abby : a little bit of cream and a dash of cinnamon . scott : sharon , since i 'm offering . [ cell phone rings ] abby : ooh , um , i better take this . this is another ticket sale . it 's my new sailing partner . we 're going out on lake michigan this weekend . hey , jim . sharon : yeah , i would love some coffee , especially if i 'm not the one who has to make it . scott : yeah , it would n't be much of a treat if you did . sharon : [ chuckles ] so is it true what she said ? you 're a sore loser ? scott : it 's probably one of my more embarrassing character flaws . and yes , it is ridiculous that i got so worked up over something like this . this should n't be a source of , uh , of tension . sharon : true . although , you know , when victor gets involved , even if he has the best of intentions , he still ends up making things harder for everyone . [ piano playing ] [ music stops ] nikki : [ groaning ] damn it . stop , stop ! [ exhales sharply ] [ glasses clatter ] nikki : [ sobbing ] help ! aah ! somebody help me ! [ gasping ] oh , my god . [ gasps ] [ sobbing ] help me ! ah , some -- please . help me . [ sobbing ] leslie : would you like me to repeat the question ? victoria : no , that wo n't be necessary . i believe my colleague . leslie : but you ca n't be 100 % certain that nothing sexual happened in tokyo between mr. ashby and ms . helton , can you ? victoria : well , i was n't a fly on the wall there , but i can state for the record what i see now -- a disgruntled ex - employee who 's lying , looking for a big cash settlement . leslie : that 'll be all , ms . newman -- victoria : no , that will not be all , damn it ! michael : victoria , please . please stop . victoria , stop . victoria : if juliet was so traumatized , why did n't i hear about this alleged harassment before ? you had plenty of opportunity to come to me without cane being around . the night we went out , one on one , that would have been the perfect opportunity . michael : do not say another word . victoria , listen to me ! victoria : are n't you ashamed of yourself ? how does it feel to look at the man that you wrongfully accused with his wife , two people who considered you their friend ? ! look at me ! i 'm talking to you ! you know , when i first interviewed you , i liked you . i wanted to create a position for you in marketing . and it was n't in the budget . did you know that ? i had to move money around from a different division in order to make room for you . i befriended you . i went out of my way for you . and when i was forced to fire you , i gave you severance because you had to move here from so far away ! i actually cared about what happened to you , and this is how you show your appreciation ? ! end this now , juliet ! stop lying while you can still live with yourself ! [ next_on ] sharon : it 's abby 's new business partner , zack . i just think he 's hiding something . zack : you want our third date to be a night out with your family ? sorry . abby : you decline ? michael : what 's this about ? leslie : hotel footage from the night in question . | ashley fills jack in on her meeting with graham but still feels as though he may be hiding something . abby joins victor to discuss business when scott walks in and shows victor a poster board which has nikki 's picture on it which is advertising her playing a concert for the hospital wing . victor okays it . graham urges dina to talk to him about what is bothering her . dina mentions about her seeing him with ashley and what is in it for him . nikki practices her music for the concert but she begins to have pains in her hands . nikki reaches for a bottle when sharon comes in and asks her about faith 's sweater . sharon asks her about her music and the concert she will be performing . sharon asks her about the bottle she had been holding when she first came in . nikki denies that she was going to drink any of it . victor gives abby and scott a job together of selling tickets for the concert . michael and cane have a difference about having lily at the hearing . at the park , billy and victoria discuss the hearing and cane going to see juliet to get her to drop the lawsuit . victoria tells billy that she wants to teach juliet a lesson she wo n't soon forget . dina tells graham that he is the only one she can count on . graham assures dina that he is happy and content with her . in talking to jack , ashley refuses to flirt with graham to get him away from their mother . victoria and billy join michael , cane and lily for the hearing . leslie and juliet arrive and leslie is against so many being at the hearing but juliet tells leslie that they can stay . michael gives cane , billy , lily and victoria pointers before the hearing begins . |
ashley : honey , would you please relax ? of course i was gon na tell you that victor 's seen abby . brad : then why did n't you ? ashley : because when i came into the boardroom , dad was here . we had to deal with business . then when i tried to tell you again once he left , you were anxious to see nikki , remember ? brad : is that the important thing you wanted to talk to me about ? ashley : yes . brad : can i assume you had nothing to do with setting up this meeting ? ashley : you honestly think i would go behind your back ? brad : you tell me . ashley : we agreed we were n't gon na do anything until abby had seen the psychologists . brad : so how did this happen ? what 's newman doing , stalking the kid ? man , i would like to wring his neck . ashley : i know . now just , come on . let me try to explain it to you . brad : yeah , you do that . you explain , and it better be good .

phyllis : i know this is wrong , but i 've come too far to lose this now . billy : you wo n't . i 'm not gon na lose you , either . it 's not how this ends . phyllis : how what ends ? billy : this love story . phyllis : love story ? is that what this is now ? billy : it is for me . i love you , phyllis . jack : you kidnapped hilary . neil : why -- why would you think that ? jack : you denying it ? you 're saying she 's lying ? devon : hilary told you that my dad kidnapped her ? jack : she told me through tears . she did n't want to admit anything . i dragged it out of her , the whole ugly story of how neil here plotted to wreck a marriage , which led to her falling off a trail in virgin gorda and hitting her head . once you realized what you 'd done , you flew her back home and did n't tell anyone about it . you kept her in your boathouse while she was in a coma . how am i doing here ? is it true ? devon : you do n't have to answer that . neil : jack , jack -- jack : tell me ! is it true ? ! neil : yes . it 's true . hilary : you must have loved ripping me to shreds . [ scoffs ] it must have made your year to tattle - tale on me to jack . ashley : my brother had every right to find out that you were blackmailing neville , hilary . hilary : oh , really ? and how will painting me as a villain benefit mankind ? because thanks to you , this entire trial , it 's over . dr. neville : you ca n't blame ashley . all she 's done is try to obviate your skills as a liar . hilary : yeah , yeah . take her side . go ahead . because when jack goes to the police , guess who will be an accessory ? you 'll be spending the rest of your days in a prison cell instead of a research lab . ashley : when i left my brother , he was a lot more furious with you than he ever was with neville . hilary : yes , jack -- he -- he did have a few harsh words for me , until he heard the whole story . dr. neville : exactly what story did you tell jack ? hilary : oh , the truth . that you brought me out of my coma after neil kidnapped me and held me captive . ♪ summer : bet you love having extra time with sully these days now that you 're living with dylan and your mom full time . faith : yeah . sully 's great -- for a baby . but i wish i had more time with daddy . summer : well , you know , he 's just really busy with work right now , but you still get to see him , right ? faith : not as much as i want . luca : i 'm sure your dad feels the same , faith . we just really needed his help at the company , so now he 's putting in a lot more hours . summer : yeah . he 's working late tonight with aunt vicki , but , um , maybe you could stop by after your dance class and surprise him . faith : you do n't think he 'd mind ? [ cell phone chimes ] luca : oh , i 'm sure he 'd love it . summer : uh , you know what ? i think amy is here waiting out front for you . you ready to rhumba ? faith : duh . it 's ballet . summer : [ chuckles ] faith : bye . summer : bye . luca : what a great idea . summer : what ? having her stop by newman tonight ? luca : yeah . i think it would be good for her to see her dad . summer : yeah . luca : and nick will need to see a smiling face after dealing with victoria . summer : i know . she was in such a bad mood today , right ? i mean , a complete 180 from when we saw her at the pool . what do you think happened ? luca : i have a theory . victoria : i 'm really starting to wonder if i bungled this whole crisis . i should have paid more attention to the oil division . nick : do n't do that . a good ceo never broadcasts their insecurities . besides , the approach we 've taken has worked . victoria : pointing fingers to avoid suspicion , claiming sabotage without any proof ? nick : you did everything you needed to do to protect the reputation of the company . dad would be so proud . victoria : sure . so what if it 's pure unadulterated fiction ? dad would not lose one minute 's sleep . nick : business as usual . victoria : i know . exactly . i just do n't know if i want it to be my usual . nick : you know , this did n't bug you earlier . you signed off on those press releases without giving it a second thought , so what 's changed ? is it your new boyfriend travis ? is he making you second - guess yourself ? summer : travis . um , i think i owe you an apology . travis : what for ? summer : well , i was n't exactly friendly when we met before . i 'm just a little too protective of my aunt , i guess . luca : it 's a newman trait . travis : so victoria told me . summer : so , you know , if you are here to buy her a dessert , i can point you in the right direction . travis : no , i wo n't be heading back over to newman tower . summer : well , the way that you say that makes me think that something happened . luca : summer 's gon na keep asking questions , so you may as well answer and get it over with . travis : victoria and i just do n't agree on certain things . summer : okay , such as ? travis : how to conduct business , for one . she looks at things the way her dad does -- controlling a situation with lies and spin . luca : well , surely you know that 's how the game is played . travis : yeah , i know . it does n't make it okay . victoria : i would n't say that i 'm doubting myself . nick : sounds that way to me . victoria : i 'm just sort of reconsidering some things . and fyi -- after today , i would n't exactly call travis my boyfriend . nick : why ? because of that dossier that luca showed you ? look , i get it . it was probably jarring to read that travis used to be some hot - shot wall street trader and he gave it all up so he could run a bar in the midwest . only he neglected to tell you all the details of his past . victoria : luca had no business sharing that with you . nick : i 'm glad he did . victoria : why ? so you can protect me ? nick : i like being informed . victoria : i confronted travis about it . nick : really ? victoria : yeah . nick : what did he say for himself ? victoria : he did n't like the person that he was when he was trading , so he left it all behind . he started over . he never looked back . nick : do you believe him ? victoria : yeah , i do . i accept travis for who he is . i just think that he 's struggling with who i am and how i run things . nick : did he say that ? victoria : no . nick , i like him . i just -- i do n't see things working out for us , that 's all . nick : well , for what it 's worth , i hope you 're wrong . if travis is making you look around and think of a more ethical way of doing business , maybe he 's good for you . maybe he 's exactly what you need . phyllis : [ sighs ] i did n't know that 's what you felt -- billy : i just felt like i wanted to say it , like i needed to get it out . you do n't have to say it back . phyllis : billy -- billy : stop , okay ? listen . i do n't want it to change anything . i do n't want it to feel weird , especially when i 'm so happy to have you here to myself . if you want , i can revise my statement , phyllis . i like you so much . phyllis : stop . this is serious . billy : i 'm being -- being perfectly serious . i love how ... sexy you are . i love how smart you are . i love how you make me feel . and i 'm feeling pretty good right now . what about you ? phyllis : i feel really good , too . i ca n't get enough of you . billy : that 's all i need . jack : how the hell could you do that ? you hid your son 's wife ? you lied to everyone 's face who were worried that hilary might be dead ? and how in god 's name can you help defend it ? devon : jack , i 'll tell you how i -- neil : let me handle this . let me handle this . devon : neil -- neil : no ! it 's my responsibility . lily : hey . what 's going on ? devon : we may all be going to jail . lily : what ? devon : jack knows about the kidnapping . neil : i 'm not making excuses . my behavior was reprehensible . but there were reasons . jack : how can you possibly justify what you did ? neil : finding out that my wife was cheating on me behind my back with my son while i was blind -- something snapped . i could n't take it . i wanted to break their hearts just like they broke mine ! hey , i never hurt her . not physically . her fall -- that was an accident . jack : you ambushed her in a wilderness area where no one could come to help if there was an accident . you really expect me to believe that 's not calculated ? neil : no , it was n't . i swear to god . all i wanted to do was to get her alone and talk to her . the thought never occurred to me that that cliffside could be so dangerous . so when she lost her footing -- and i 'll say this a million times -- she lost her footing and she fell ! i panicked ! i was terrified that she would never wake up and that everyone would think that i meant to kill her ! jack : but instead of calling for help , instead of accepting responsibility , you took the coward 's way out . neil : well , maybe you think that , but i took every precaution to keep her safe as i transported her back to genoa city . i did n't give a damn anymore about vengeance . i prayed every single day that she would wake up , that she would wake up and live a long and happy life with her husband . and that 's why i brought simon neville in . and thank god i did , because he saved her . jack : yeah , thank god he did . you really think that was gon na be the end of it ? that hilary would keep your secret and it would n't eat away at her ? she lost months of her life , neil . months . she 's still suffering from what you have put her through . neil : okay . all right . what exactly did hilary tell you ? because if you 're thinking that i coerced her into keeping quiet , nothing could be further from the truth . hilary : when months went by and i did n't get better , neil finally realized that he was in over his head . dr. neville : and by the time i came into the picture , the poor man was scrambling to set things right . ashley : so wait . once she recovered , you all agreed just to keep quiet ? hilary : and now things are about to get loud because jack is gon na go look for neil . when he finds him , he is gon na drag him to the police . it is -- it really is such a shame . it did n't have to come to this . but you set it all in motion when you went to jack . dr. neville : well , you do realize that now you lit the fuse that you could be implicated . hilary : me ? [ scoffs ] please . i am the victim , in case you 've forgotten . i kept my mouth shut to protect my family from any more pain . but you ? [ scoffs ] neil and devon and lily and cane , you guys all conspired to cover this up . ashley : wait a second . they all know ? hilary : oh , well , devon -- he has known forever . lily and cane little more recently , but they chose not to come forward , either , so it wo n't go well for them . ashley : oh , my god . when you told me that there were other people involved that you wanted to protect , i had no idea it was neil 's family . hilary : so even though you did n't have all the facts , you just had to shoot your mouth off to jack . now all of your friends , they lily : well , i ca n't say that i 'm surprised hilary would do this now that she 's gotten all that she wants out of us . she can use this to gain sympathy . devon : you do n't know that . lily : devon , i understand that you love your wife and that you want to believe her , but like i have said all along , she is only out for herself . you have to stop defending that bitch . she has her own agenda , and she will mow over anyone who gets in her way , including you . devon : i 'm not gon na debate this with you , okay ? i 'm gon na find hilary and figure out why the hell she did what she did . dr. neville : what happens if you 're right and the police do arrest me ? there 's no one left to do the work . and all those patients that were counting on me to find a cure , what happens to them ? what happens to you ? do n't forget , you need me to retool the protocol every bit as much as they do . hilary : well , it 's nice to know that you care , dr. neville , especially since ashley does n't . ashley : oh , would you please stop with that ? i never tried to put your life at risk , hilary . hilary : come off it , ashley . you went to jack to tell him what a terrible person i was so that he would stay away from me . you had to know how he 'd react . you had to know that you 'd be endangering the trial . ashley : really ? how could i possibly foresee that ? hilary : oh . ashley : and besides , as badly as my brother 's taking this news , i do n't think he 's gon na turn neil in to the police . neil is one of his closest friends . dr. neville : a friend that 's done something deplorable . do you really think your brother 's gon na be able to look the other way ? ashley : i 'm gon na talk to him . hilary : you 'd be wasting your breath . ashley : well , i disagree . hilary : after jack left me , he was all fired up , looking for justice . i doubt anything you say would change his mind . ashley : [ groans ] neil : you need to understand something , jack . i was prepared to face my punishment a long , long time ago . jack : then why did n't you ? neil : because when devon found out the truth , he was ready to turn me in . i did n't try to stop him . as a matter of fact , we were sitting in the police station when he changed his mind . jack : why ? neil : because hilary begged him not to do it . she wanted to keep this whole secret classified . and devon -- he went along with it partly because of her and partly because he did n't want to see his old man go to jail . jack : yeah , well , that certainly worked out for you , did n't it ? neil : and grateful i was to both of them . but then later , her attitude changed . she decided to use this secret to her advantage , to capitalize on it . jack : what do you mean by that ? neil : she threatened to expose me unless i convinced you to keep her seat on the board . do -- do you remember when i suddenly did that 180 flip ? jack : that was hilary blackmailing you . neil : listen , man , every time she feels she 's in danger of not getting what she wants , she pulls out that blackmail card and she uses it . it 's getting to the point where i do n't even recognize this woman that i once loved . you know , she used to be so full of compassion and kindness , and now all she 's full of is ... herself . jack : not -- not that i condone what hilary has done , but whatever it is , it does n't change the fact you kidnapped her ! neil : okay . hey . now that you know , what are you gon na do ? jack : i do n't know . i 'm sure you 'd love it if i just forgot i ever heard about it . i could keep this secret going like the rest of you have , but ... i 'm not sure this is a lie i can live with . billy : we have a serious problem on our hands here . phyllis : [ gasps ] tragedy strikes . have you emptied jill 's entire wine cellar ? billy : it 's not that tragic . trust me . but we do n't have a speck of food here . nothing . we are in danger of starvation . we do n't have dinner , we do n't have breakfast , we do n't have lunch . we do n't have anything to put in that beautiful mouth of yours for the next few days . phyllis : including triple chocolate frosted brownies from crimson lights i 'm desiring for dessert . billy : how dare you ? phyllis : [ gasps ] if you do n't mind . billy : ooh , i do not mind . i know better than to come between chocolate and a woman . phyllis : smart man . billy : i 'll go get some groceries . phyllis : okay . billy : come back , we 'll cook up a feast , and i 'll be yours for the duration . how 's that sound ? phyllis : perfect . [ door opens ] nick : so i 'll have legal draw up a letter of intent , unless you want to keep everything on the down - low . victoria : [ sighs ] nick : problem ? victoria : i was just thinking about what you said earlier about travis being good for me . did you mean that ? nick : vick , i love hearing that you want to set a different tone around here . you do n't want to let this place consume you . if travis is responsible for that , maybe he 's worth keeping around . victoria : yeah , i know . it 's just -- it 's not as simple as that . nick : [ chuckles ] never is . so what 's the problem with the guy ? victoria : well , for example , when he walked in here , i could see his whole body tense up . and he did n't say anything , but it was if he was looking at me with different eyes and he did n't exactly like what he saw . nick : you sure you 're not projecting ? victoria : [ sighs ] nick : look , maybe he 's making you look yourself in the mirror , you know , see which direction you 've been heading lately , make you think about how much time you actually spend here as opposed to with your kids or your family or out there living your own life . there is this thing called balance , vick . you 've never been good at it . victoria : fair point . nick : so , do something about it . run this company the way you want , not the way dad would . and maybe you wo n't let it eat you alive here . victoria : hmm . you know , that 's a novel idea . nick : do n't let the baggage of being a newman ruin any chance you have with this guy . if you want him , you fight for what you want . victoria : i really appreciate your words , nick . but i 'm not sure that travis even wants me to . travis : well , as much as i 've enjoyed this little chat about my personal life , i think i 'll be on my way . summer : okay , have a good one . billy : hey . hi , summer . summer : hey . billy : luca . luca : billy . billy : i do n't think we met . summer : uh , billy abbott , travis crawford . billy : nice to meet you , man . billy : [ chuckles ] your friend 's talkative . summer : oh , i think he ran out of things to say as soon as you walked through the door . billy : why would that be ? luca : because he 's the new man in victoria 's life . lily : devon is confronting his evil , soul - sucking wife as we speak . dr. neville : and hilary has told jack all about the kidnapping . she also took great pleasure in recounting the details to ashley and me . lily : [ sighs ] that witch . neil : ashley . ashley -- she 's finally aware of what i did . i can only imagine what she thinks about me . dr. neville : i think she 's more concerned about what jack thinks considering what 's at stake . she 's gon na try to convince him not to go to the authorities . neil : frankly , i 'm not holding out much hope here . i mean , after jack gave me holy hell , at the end of which he said he felt like he could n't hold back the truth . dr. neville : in which case , i suggest we start building our defense . neil : there is no defense for me . you might have a shot . my actions were deplorable . i feel like i 've been living on borrowed time for months . and the day of reckoning has finally arrived . ashley : i know hilary informed you about everything and you have to be in shock , because i am . i had no idea when neville told me that hilary was blackmailing him that it was neil behind the kidnapping . jack : meaning what ? if you had known , you would n't have said anything ? ashley : honestly , i 'm not sure . i do n't know what i would have done , jack . it puts you in a terrible position . jack : yeah , you think ? ashley : i know you feel angry and betrayed . i also know the last thing you want to do is put your friend behind bars . jack : yeah , exactly . it 's the last thing i want to do . ashley : then do n't do it . is n't that what your foundation stands for ? it 's forgiveness and second chances . you really want the co - founder to end up behind bars , especially when he 's admitted to you that he 's struggling with his addiction ? jack : where the hell is this coming from ? why are you suddenly neil 's mouthpiece ? ashley : i care about neil . jack : yeah , i care about neil , too . this was n't a little mistake . it was n't a little misstep . this was a calculated plan to destroy a marriage that ended up in a string of felonies . you really expect me to look the other way ? how can you ask me to become part of their conspiracy ? ashley : because it 's not just about neil , jack . you have to consider all the other people that are involved in this fallout . devon : we agreed not to tell anyone who kidnapped you , and then you go and tell jack everything ? why the hell 'd you do that ? hilary : i did n't have a choice , devon . ashley went to jack and she told him that i was holding something over dr. neville . devon : again ? hilary : jack was demanding answers . he was ripping into me for using what i knew to keep neville in line , and i had to tell him the whole story so that he would know that i was wronged , too , okay ? ashley was making it look like i was some monstrous person , and i just -- i could n't stand the thought of jack not trusting me anymore . devon : so the reason you sold out my father was 'cause you were afraid of jack not thinking highly of you anymore . that 's why you did what you did ? hilary : okay , devon , it 's -- devon : what about my opinion ? 'cause i 'm actually starting to think you may not be a good person , someone that i ca n't neil : i have so many regrets , you know . the list is endless . and right at the top is dragging you and cane into this . i - i will never forgive myself for that . lily : well , i still have n't forgiven you for what you did . but i do n't want you -- or you -- to go to prison . and i definitely do n't want hilary to win . dr. neville : [ scoffs ] i think we can all agree on that . lily : and if she dares to come down on us , we will hire the best lawyers money can buy . neil : my hope is that you , simon , you , lily , the rest of the family will walk away from this thing , legally speaking . but i wo n't . that 's just the reality . you know , this case against me is way too strong . so i think what i 'm gon na do is i 'm gon na go see paul and turn myself in , do whatever i can to protect you . end this nightmare once and for all . ashley : neil is not the only one that 's facing charges , jack . there 's neville , there 's devon , and then cane and lily , and even hilary . jack : yeah , hilary is still the victim here . you all seem to have conveniently forgotten that . ashley : do n't . she 's in her own separate hilary category . do you really think it 's right that the winters should be punished for trying to protect their family ? and what about cane and lily 's kids ? do you realize how they 're gon na suffer if their parents end up behind bars ? jack : oh , the likelihood of that happening is not very high . ashley : it 's obstruction of justice , and that 's a crime , accessory to kidnapping . and then what if christine williams decides to make an example of them ? and then you have neville . all those patients , jack , that are in the clinical trial , they are counting on him . so many of them could die waiting for a cure . do n't those people mean anything to you ? i mean , their lives have to be worth something . hilary : devon , you 're upset . you do n't mean what you said -- devon : do n't tell me how i feel or that i 'm overreacting . hilary : devon , if you just -- devon : i have been standing up for you this entire time , telling my family that they do n't know you like i do and rationalizing your -- your -- your endless ambition as a reaction to being in a coma and how powerless you felt , but it seems like it 's way more than that , because it 's like you enjoy lording it over all of us and making us jump at your every command ! that 's why you would n't let up on the blackmail ! if you had n't been so damn controlling , we would n't be in this situation right now ! hilary : wow . i ca n't believe that you 're blaming me . neil is the guilty one . devon : well , hey , thanks to you , he 's gon na be punished , and he 's probably not the only one , because by telling jack we knew about everything , you put us all at risk ! hilary : devon , it was gon na come out eventually . devon : it did n't have to . nobody wanted that to happen ! only you did ! you wanted to hurt neil and my family , and by doing that , you 've hurt me ! not that you care , but that 's what you did ! [ door slams ] billy : so that 's the guy victoria 's seeing . summer : well , not for long , i do n't think . sounds like they 're already fizzling out . billy : ah , not a keeper , huh ? she probably thinks he talks too much . summer : well , travis just admitted that they 're having issues . and besides , he 's got `` rebound `` written all over him . it 's obvious that victoria just ran to him because she 's not over you . billy : that 's very sweet , summer , but actually i do n't think that 's true . summer : please . you know that victoria is still in love with you . i mean , you should try to work things out with her . billy : thank you for the advice , the free advice . it 's worth every penny . but , uh , my priority is dessert right now , so if you 'll excuse me . summer : [ sighs ] okay . do you think i pushed too hard ? luca : possibly . but you spoke from the heart . and i think you 're right . i do n't see victoria and travis lasting . travis : this is a surprise . victoria : yeah , uh , not an unwelcome one , i hope . travis : not yet . you just got here . victoria : yeah , that 's the thing . i 'm as surprised as you are . i left my office and i got in my car . and the next thing i knew , i was standing outside of your dingy bar . so here i am . travis : here you are . now we just have to figure out faith : [ humming ] nick : [ laughs ] bravo ! bravo ! that was great . faith : you really liked it ? nick : i loved it . faith : good .

lauren : does that mean you 're staying ? scott : we 're gon na be moving , uh , hashtag 's headquarters to genoa city , so while other journalists are out in the world , in the middle of all the action , i 'll be making editorial decisions right here from newman tower . so , the only danger i 'll be in , according to you , is if i keep seeing sharon . sharon : anything else i can get you ? zack : i 'm good . thanks . sharon : you 're welcome . zack : something i can do for you ? sharon : i 'm sorry . i was just remembering that you told me your name was zack , and i do n't think i ever really introduced myself to you . i 'm sharon . i own this place . zack : best coffee in town . sharon : oh , thank you . so , how 's the dating app coming along ? zack : oh , you mean the one you 're `` not that into `` ? sharon : did i say that ? zack : yep . sharon : well , you know -- zack : it 's fine . online dating 's not for everybody . but for the sake of my bank account , i wish it were . sharon : [ laughs ] so , um , how do you like genoa city ? zack : well , it 's definitely not the provincial little village i expected it to be . sharon : yeah , when i moved here , i did n't know a single soul . but at least you know abby . that 's good . she can show you around . she can introduce you to tons of people . and -- and i think you know my son 's friend , tessa porter . zack : how come you 're so interested in who i know , sharon ? leslie : yes , excellent work . i 'm so glad you found it . send it to me right away . thank you . ready to continue if you are , counselor . michael : yes , i am . and so are my clients . billy ? billy : let 's do this . michael : cane ?

michael : yes . dr. myers : the steroid shot should ease the pain . nick : yeah , i know . but it 's not enough to alleviate the flare - up . i know . dr. myers : correct . nikki : thank you so much for making this house call , doctor . i - i have n't had an episode like this in years . it caught me totally off guard . dr. myers : have you been under any particular stress lately ? nikki : well [ sighs ] i am scheduled to perform a concert coming up , benefiting the new neurological center . so , of course , i am a little nervous about that . but i - i could n't really say no . it was my husband 's idea , and it 's such a good cause . dr. myers : i strongly advise you to take it easy , and eliminate the source of your stress . victor : i guess nikki has been so busy practicing for the concert that no one seems to have seen her . abby : well , i ca n't wait to hear her play . speaking of , you know that list of donors you gave scott and me to sell tickets to ? victor : yeah . abby : good news is , is i won . victor : you did ? abby : mm - hmm . scott and i had a friendly competition to see who could sell the most tickets ... victor : really ? abby : ... and i totally crushed him . victor : you did ? what was the bet ? abby : well , he has to buy me coffee for a week . victor : for a week ? abby : mm - hmm . victor : have him buy you coffee for a month . abby : [ laughs ] victor : anyways , so , uh ... thank you for selling all those tickets . abby : well , that 's not the only thing i crushed this week . the incubator project and the warehouse are officially part of newman . victor : any issues ? abby : i had to pay a little more for the warehouse than i did initially . victor : anything else ? abby : well , i 'm moving forward with the dating app , and i am still looking for other tech startups . victor : maybe you should ask scott to help you with that . abby : i can handle it . victor : sweetheart , that 's not a request . i want you to make use of his expertise . lauren : look , as much as i 'd like to think otherwise , i ca n't tell you who you can and who you ca n't date . or who you should be staying far , far away from . scott : but you can not - so - subtly hint at it . lauren : scott , i 'm telling you ... scott : no , mom . mom . mom ! lauren : ... this woman -- what ? scott : the sharon you warned me about does n't exist anymore . the sharon i know has gone back to college , and she 's studying psychology . she volunteers at a crisis hotline . she 's committed to making her life better . she 's caring and thoughtful . and i enjoy spending time with her . a lot . so , please ? if you could , for me , just retire the anti - sharon campaign ? lauren : look , i - i think it 's great that she 's doing all this wonderful stuff , but there has to be someone else here that -- scott : dating sharon makes me happy , okay , mom ? and if you ca n't deal with that , you 're gon na be seeing a lot less of me . lauren : okay . well , then , maybe i should see this transformation for myself . we should all get together soon . scott : great . how about tonight ? we can have a big old fenmore - baldwin - fisher- grainger `` welcome to the family `` dinner . lauren : well , honey , i - i think kevin is still out of town , and michael has a deposition , and god knows where gloria is . scott : mom . i was kidding . however , would i like you to spend some more time with sharon , get to know the person she is now ? yes . but i 'm not gon na force the issue . lauren : thank you . and , um ... i promise not to interfere with your relationship anymore . scott : really ? lauren : i promise . scott : mm - hmm . sharon : i saw you and tessa here the other day , and she told me that you two knew each other from chicago . zack : oh , we used to hang out with the same group of people . i would n't say we were particularly close friends or anything . sharon : oh , are you a musician too ? zack : not even . business is my art , so to speak . specifically , being a matchmaker for the millennials . sharon : i 'm curious , what makes your site different from the other dating sites ? zack : well , instead of relying on the users to set up their dates , my site has a unique concierge service , and our advanced algorithm takes info from both profiles and arranges a location , a time , and a day for their dates , all expertly and accurately suited for each user . i 'll give you a promo code for one free month premium access if you sign up today . sharon : oh , no , no . that 's okay . i just -- i actually am dating someone . i 'm seeing a great guy . zack : well , you never know what the future holds , though . let me know if you ever need my services . sharon : no offense , but this one 's a keeper . i will not be needing a dating site anytime soon . leslie : would you say you consider juliet a friend ? lily : i did . until she accused my husband of sexual harassment . michael : i 'm sorry . uh , you 're doing great . let 's just try and keep your answers to a simple yes or no . leslie : you spent a lot of time with her at brash & sassy , and in l.a. , correct ? lily : yes . leslie : did you ever hear her tell a lie ? lily : not that i know of . leslie : your impression , though , is that juliet is a truthful person ? lily : i mean , i - i guess so , but how would i really know that ? leslie : did your husband , cane , tell you about the deal he worked on in tokyo with mr. sato ? lily : yes . he was very proud of it . leslie : did he mention juliet 's contribution ? lily : she was the liaison and translator . sorry . yes . leslie : did your husband mention that the deal was called off that night because he gave mr. sato a `` bro hug `` ? lily : no . leslie : then i assume he did n't tell you that ms . helton was the one who convinced mr. sato to come back to the table . lily : no , he did n't . leslie : so , your husband took full credit for closing the asian deal , but never mentioned how close it came to falling apart because of his faux pas . is that correct ? lily : yes , i guess so . leslie : now , who would you say is the liar here ? tessa : you feeling any better ? nikki : yeah . yeah . the steroid shot the doctor gave me is working wonders . tessa : it 's a good thing she could come so fast . nikki : yeah . tessa : why did n't you want me to call an ambulance ? nikki : because the image of me being doubled over in pain , wheeled into the er is not something that i want to get leaked to gc buzz . and it would n't be very good press for the benefit , now , would it ? tessa : guess not . nikki : when you 're a newman , you want to present a certain image to the outside world . but none of this really matters , because it all worked out . i 'm fine . tessa : the doctor said you could have another flare - up . nikki : did you also hear her say that this was most likely due to stress ? tessa : i missed that part . nikki : so , i will just lighten up my rehearsal schedule , and i 'll schedule a spa day . crisis averted . tessa : nikki , the doctor recommended you not perform . nikki : that 's not an option . tessa : sure it is . i 'm sure you know a ton of musicians who 'd be willing to step in at a moment 's notice for such a good cause . nikki : tessa , i told you , i will be healthy enough to perform as scheduled . tessa : what if they find you on the floor of your dressing room like i did earlier ? nikki : all right . you know what ? i am done . i am done with this conversation . we 're not talking about it anymore . nothing can make me not do this concert . tessa : maybe we should tell victor , just in case . nikki : oh , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no , no ! he is to never know about this . do you hear me ? tessa : sure . nikki : now , this is serious . and unfortunately i find myself in the position of having to trust you . so you must promise me that you will never tell victor about this flare - up . got it ? abby : wo n't scott be busy with the shiny new toy you bought him ? he wo n't be able to stick his nose into my project . victor : so you heard about that , huh ? abby : oh , yeah . of course . he could n't wait to tell me he does n't have to report to me anymore . victor : uh - huh . i still want the two of you to work together , darling . abby : dad , i do n't need his help . i 'm on top of things . victor : you and scott working together is good for business , okay ? abby : oh , really ? so -- so you like when we compete ? victor : you bet . you know why ? it 's good for the bottom line . abby : well , i just figured now that scott 's running hashtag , he 'd be traveling the world again -- it would keep him out of my hair . victor : no , he 's gon na be working from here . abby : great . victor : you 're jealous of him ? abby : what ? [ stammers ] no . god , no . victor : you know , he has great potential . abby : to be annoying and insufferable . victor : no . to be my prodigy . maybe for a future executive position at newman . abby : dad , this is a family company . scott is not family . michael : when you moved to genoa city , you signed a three - year lease on a car ? juliet : that 's correct . michael : do you have student loans ? juliet : i do . michael : credit - card debt ? juliet : i had to charge a lot of things when i moved . relocating from tokyo is expensive . michael : so is making a costly mistake at work . leslie : that 's not a question , michael . please do n't editorialize . michael : noted . you were given a very generous severance package by brash & sassy , were n't you ? juliet : i would n't exactly call it `` generous . `` michael : because it did n't dig you out of the financial hole you got yourself into ? leslie : if this were a formal setting -- michael : moving on to that night in tokyo . when mr. sato finally agreed to the deal , how did the division - manager position come up in conversation ? juliet : i asked cane to put in a good word for me with victoria . michael : and how did he respond ? juliet : he told me he would talk to her on my behalf . michael : were there any caveats to mr. ashby 's offer ? juliet : he said victoria was the boss . it was her call . michael : her call in regards to ... ? juliet : who was hired for the position . michael : oh , so mr. ashby made it perfectly clear that he did not have the power to hire you at brash & sassy ? juliet : yes . michael : does n't that negate your claim that mr. ashby demanded sex for employment -- quid pro quo -- since he did n't have the ability to hire you ? juliet : no , it does n't . without cane 's recommendation , there was no guarantee that victoria would even give me an interview . in order to get a shot , i felt i had to go along with what mr. ashby wanted . and it was perfectly clear what he wanted . i tried to keep things professional , but ... that was not going to happen . michael : what do you mean ? juliet : i discussed my qualifications , even asked for advice on how to approach the interview . but he shut me down . basically said , `` we can talk about the job later . right now , let 's have some fun . `` cane : aaah ! juliet : let 's switch to sake . less potent . [ laughs ] michael : did you talk about the job later ? juliet : yes . after we had sex . abby : dad , i understand it 's important to bring new blood into the company , but that does n't mean they should be in contention for the big chair . especially not scott grainger . he does n't care about business , he does n't care about this company , and you keep giving him chances after i 've proven myself to you over and over and over again . why do you keep making me jump through hoops ? victor : you know i held your siblings to high standards . why would i hand this to you on a silver platter ? you would n't want that , would you ? abby : no , i - i do n't want that . but with me , it feels like you expect more . victor : why do you say that ? abby : because i 'm not just a newman -- because i 'm an abbott , too . dad , you should n't have to question my loyalty . victor : i do n't , sweetheart . but i question your loyalty to jack abbott . abby : why ? victor : because he ca n't be trusted . he 'll insinuate himself into the project without you knowing . abby : he would n't do that to me . victor : oh , yeah , he would . that 's who he is . abby : dad , he knows that that would tear the family apart . he 's focusing on bringing us back together . victor : what , because of that dina mergeron , or what ? abby : yeah , now that she 's back in town , he wants to spend as much time with her as possible . victor : well , good for him . [ cell phone buzzes ] abby : i have an appointment . victor : okay . abby : but dad ... victor : yeah . abby : ... i am gon na prove myself to you . i 'm gon na prove that i 'm a capable businesswoman . sooner rather than later . promise . victor : have a nice day . sharon : would you like a - another cup of coffee ? on the house . zack : uh , i 'm gon na pass for now . i 'm feeling a little wired . sharon : you mind if i ask you a few more questions about your app ? zack : i 'm pretty busy ... sharon : just a couple . [ cell phone rings ] zack : oh , sorry . i got to take this . sharon : no problem . zack : what 's your progress ? that 's not good enough . we need to speed things up . abby : right on time . zack : [ sighs ] that 's ... commendable . abby : you look surprised to see me . did the app not send you a reminder about our coffee date ? zack : oh , there it is . guess i did n't hear the notification . abby : oh , well , it says , `` crimson lights , 4 : 00 . latte and croissant for abby . black coffee and blueberry muffin for zack . `` i love how specific it is . you did a great job . zack : thanks . abby : but i do have some notes that i wanted to discuss with you . zack : why do n't we move out there ? would n't want anyone to overhear what we 're working on . abby : smart . i knew you were n't just a pretty face . [ laughs ] michael : so , how long did you `` have fun `` at the bar ? juliet : i do n't know . until around 2 : 00 in the morning , maybe ? michael : and what happened when it was time to leave ? juliet : cane tried to stand , and he almost fell backwards , so i steadied him and helped him up to his room . when we got there , he insisted i come in . michael : how exactly did he `` insist `` ? juliet : he told me to help him get into bed . it was obvious he could n't manage on his own , and i did n't want him to fall and hit his head , or hurt himself in some other way . michael : so you were just being a good friend ? juliet : yes . michael : so , you took him up to his room , got him into bed . what then ? juliet : he grabbed me and pulled me onto the bed . kept thanking me for helping with mr. sato , and for showing him around tokyo . michael : did you try to remove yourself from the situation ? juliet : i did . but he insisted that if i wanted any help in getting the position at brash & sassy , that i should n't be in a rush out the door . i did n't know what to do . i really wanted that job . everything he said led me to believe that if i did n't have sex with him , i did n't stand a chance . so i did it . and i have never been so ashamed . [ soft melody playing ] nikki : ow ! [ hisses ] tessa : why do n't we try knocking off for the day ? nikki : i told you , i 've already lost too much rehearsal time . tessa : then let 's kick back until the steroids start doing their thing and the pain goes away ? nikki : okay . okay . victor : hi . nikki : oh ! victor . victor : hello , tessa . tessa : hello , mr. newman . victor : i want to show you something . i can hardly wait for your reaction . tessa : whoa ! nikki , looking hot ! victor : what do you think ? nikki : goodness . oh , the wonders of hair and makeup , right ? little retouch here , retouch there . it 's a wonderful thing . victor : all now we need is a banner across that says `` sold out . `` abby and scott have sold out all the tickets . so i have a feeling this concert is gon na be quite a success . and your performance will be a showstopper . victor : no doubt , mr. n. she 's killing it on those ivories . victor : love to hear a preview . tessa : trust me , she sounds amazing . victor : no , but i 'd like to hear for myself . [ cell phone rings ] tessa : sorry , i got to take this . victor : all right . nikki : yeah , go ahead . victor : so , uh ... why do n't you show me how you 're `` killing it `` ? nikki : oh , victor , i am so exhausted . i 've been practicing all day . victor : so what 's matter ? nikki : nothing 's the matter . victor : well , then why do n't you play for me ? nikki : [ sighs ] all right . all right . a few notes . that 's it . scott : hey . sharon : hey ! scott : hi . sharon : should n't you be at work ? scott : is that your way of telling me you do n't want me around ? sharon : not at all . in fact ... i would n't mind if you played hooky every day of the week . scott : oh . well , what if i just move my office into that booth over there ? sharon : that would be fantastic . except i do n't think you would get any work done , and neither would i . scott : good point . why are you torturing that poor little rag ? bad tipper ? muffin shortage ? sharon : you know , it 's abby 's new business partner , zack . scott : what about him ? sharon : i just think he 's hiding something . the guy seems a little shady . abby : i love how the app picked a low - key place for our second date . zack : you do ? abby : yeah . i mean , it did n't just pick this place out of the blue -- it went by my profile preferences . zack : you mean you did n't mess with the matrix to make it match mine ? abby : what are you talking about ? zack : come on . abby newman , a date in a coffeehouse ? in what universe does that happen ? abby : you think i 'm a date snob . zack : i mean ... you 're champagne and caviar . this place is coffee and carbs . abby : okay , why would i want to mess with the testing phase ? the app will only be successful if it actually works . that 's why we 're doing these test dates . zack : so you 're telling me you would be okay if i brought you here on a real date ? i mean , hypothetically speaking . abby : you 're smart , handsome , inventive . yeah , any girl would be delighted to be here with you . zack : any girl ? not you ? abby : look , uh ... i do n't like to mix my business life with my personal life . and since we work together , a real date , i - it 's out of the question . zack : guess we 'll just have to keep booking test dates , then . even though they feel pretty real to me . abby : yeah . i mean , that 's just a testament to how great the program is . [ chuckles nervously ] not my level of interest . zack : uh - huh . so , are you down for a third date ? abby : absolutely . michael : you claim you had sex with mr. ashby because you believed it was the only way he would recommend you to victoria . is that your testimony ? juliet : yes . he made it clear -- if i wanted his support , i would have to sleep with him . michael : he used those exact words ? juliet : not verbatim , but the threat was implicit . michael : you were both drunk , were n't you ? three bottles of sake , correct ? i could have the court reporter read over the testimony if -- juliet : no , if that 's what the receipt said , then it must be right . michael : after three bottles of sake , how could you expect any coherent word to come out of cane 's mouth , much less something as explicit as quid pro quo sex ? juliet : i -- [ sighs ] all i can say ... he said it . michael : you drank as much as cane , did n't you ? juliet : yes . michael : would you say you were intoxicated ? juliet : yes . michael : so , if you were also impaired , how could you possibly understand intent much less remember exact words ? juliet : what he proposed was so inappropriate and shocking ... i was stunned . it was like being hit by a thunderbolt . i never expected something like that from cane . time kind of stood still . i will never forget that moment . michael : so , in that moment -- when time stood still -- you sobered up enough to understand everything that happened that night . juliet : yes . exactly . michael : let 's talk about the morning after . before cane took that flight home . you met him for breakfast ? juliet : i did . michael : mm . was it awkward ? juliet : not really . michael : but a little ? juliet : only when he gave me back my earring . michael : your earring ? juliet : it must have fallen off while -- he found it in his bed . michael : do you have any proof ? did anyone witness cane returning this earring to you ? juliet : not that i know of . michael : well , even though you were ashamed of your sexual encounter with cane , you did not hesitate to accept the lesser position offered to you by ms . newman , did you ? juliet : i wanted to work at brash & sassy . i was eager to accept whatever was offered . it was still a good job . michael : were n't you afraid that the sexual harassment that you claim happened in tokyo would continue in genoa city ? juliet : i needed the money . michael : yeah . the money . it always seems to come back to that -- the money -- does n't it ? in fact , there was no sexual encounter , was there ? sex in exchange for a job -- i 'm sorry , a recommendation -- that was your fantasy , designed to get you the payout you so desperately need . is n't that the truth , ms . helton ? sharon : so , zack claims that he and tessa are just acquaintances , but my instincts tell me , seeing them together , there 's more to the story . scott : oh , your instincts , huh ? mm - hmm . sharon : oh , okay . well , you can laugh all you want . but you know what ? i 'm gon na keep digging until i find out what 's really going on . scott : why are you so invested in this ? sharon : because i do n't want my son getting mixed up in their drama . and without any concrete evidence , noah 's not gon na listen to me . scott : is this what all mothers do ? they go defcon 4 when their son starts dating ? sharon : [ laughs ] is that your way of telling me i am being overprotective ? scott : i would never do that . it 's just when there are instincts involved ... well , abby seems to be enjoying his company . but that 's no shock there . since i met him the other day at newman , i knew right off he was her type . sharon : oh , really ? and -- and what is her type ? scott : oh , you know . good - looking . uh , driven . `` alpha male . `` sharon : mm ... i think that 's what he wants everyone to think he is . scott : but you do n't . sharon : i just have a feeling that there 's something more to the guy , and it 's something that he does n't want people to know . abby : you like music . zack : all kinds . abby : you like concerts . zack : the proof is in my closet . a large number of the t - shirts i own come from `` merch `` tables . what are you doing ? abby : i am just inputting some data to test the app . and ... done ! it worked ! this app is amazing . zack : a benefit concert featuring nikki newman ? is n't she your stepmother ? abby : yeah , she is . and my dad 's organizing the event . zack : you want our third date to be a night out with your family ? sorry . abby : you `` decline `` ? ! [ soft melody playing ] [ song ends ] victor : beautiful . nikki : [ sighs ] are you happy now ? victor : yeah . you 're gon na be quite happy when you realize what i 've planned for the gala . nikki : now , wait a minute , victor . no grand gestures . you 've done quite enough . victor : you just worry about yourself , okay ? anyway , i 'm gon na go down to the stables and work out . tessa , nice to see you . tessa : later , mr. newman . victor : yep . cane : juliet may have been instrumental in bringing mr. sato back to the table , but i 'm the one who closed the deal . leslie : when mr. sato left , that 's when you brought up the division - manager job ? cane : no . no . juliet 's the one who brought that up . leslie : was she excited about the job ? cane : yes , absolutely . she said she would love to have that job . leslie : and you offered to put in a good word for her ? cane : yes , i did . leslie : so you do remember the details of the exchange . cane : yes . leslie : but you told juliet you did n't remember how her earring got into your bed , is that right ? let 's see what else you do n't remember . michael : come on , leslie . leslie : did you have trouble standing up in the bar ? cane : the booze hit me harder than i realized . leslie : is that a yes ? cane : yes . leslie : how did you get back to your hotel room ? cane : juliet helped me . leslie : and when you arrived , did you invite her in ? cane : no , i did not invite her in . she came in on her own . look , do we have to go over this ? we 've already just gone over this . michael : just stay calm and answer the question . cane : i ca n't calm down , 'cause i 'm not guilty of sexual harassment , 'cause i did n't offer her sex for a job at brash & sassy ! leslie : so you 're saying , for the record , categorically , that you and juliet never had sex in tokyo ? come on ... you can do it . abby : well , the good news is , is that all functions on the app are working -- even the `` decline `` button . so , uh , great job . yeah . i actually have to get back to the office , so , um -- zack : abby , hold up . are -- are you mad at me for not wanting to go to the concert ? abby : of course not . zack : it 's just ... meeting your family for the first time on our third date ? abby : it 's not a date date . it 's work . zack : well , you and i know that , but if you show up to some big fancy party with me -- or with any guy -- do n't you think your family would just assume it 's more than a work thing ? that 's why i turned you down , so you would n't have to spend the whole night explaining who i was . abby : i want to . i want everyone to know that you are the guy that 's gon na make newman a ton of money . zack : [ sighs ] [ cell phone chimes ] abby : `` accept `` ? zack : from what i 've read , your family throws one hell of a party . i 'd be crazy not to see it for myself . sharon : i have known some bad boys in my life , and zack definitely has that vibe . scott : huh . what kind of vibe do i give off ? sharon : mm , let 's see . trustworthy . rugged . scott : oh . sharon : and combustible . scott : `` combustible . `` is that even a trait ? sharon : it is for you . because one smoldering look can bring up all these feelings . and i 'm not the only one who 's affected by it , because i actually saw that happen the other day . scott : oh , and what lucky lady was on the receiving end of this smoldering look ? sharon : abby newman . scott : [ laughs ] hate to break it to you , but , uh , your vibe 's a big ol ' bust on that one . sharon : okay . well , if you say so . seemed to me there was a little heat there . scott : no . what you saw was nothing more than white - hot dislike for each other . sharon : okay , fine . scott : jealous ? sharon : no , i 'm not jealous . scott : i have no interest in abby . here . i 'll prove it . tessa : you 're still in pain . nikki : getting better . tessa : you should follow doctor 's orders . nikki : i am not gon na let anything stop me from doing this concert , so get that idea out of your head . tessa : i 'm just looking out for you . nikki : i promise you , by the time of the benefit , this whole attack will be a distant memory . tessa : but if victor keeps pushing you like he was earlier , it could cause another flare - up . it could take a lot off your plate if you just tell him why he needs to back off . nikki : he does n't think i can do anything on my own . he thinks that i need him for every little thing . and i need to do this to prove to him that 's not true . i am not gon na let him win . leslie : you do n't have to answer , mr. ashby . it 's obvious your memory of that night is a little foggy . i 'll be happy to help refresh it for you . michael : wait a minute . what 's this about ? leslie : the reason we 're here , michael . to let you know what evidence we have . hotel footage from the night in question . footage from the next morning . the time stamp shows 7 : 13 a.m . | sharon tells scott that she thinks zack is a bad boy trying to convince everyone that he is a good person . she also thinks that he may be hiding something about his past relationship with tessa . tessa finds nikki on the floor after her ms flare up . she wants to call 911 but nikki tells her to call her doctor so she can come to the house . the doctor gives nikki a steroid shot to help with the pain and advises her to get rid of the cause of her stress or she could have another flare up . tessa tries to persuade nikki to get someone else to play the benefit concert for the sake of her health , but nikki refuses to let victor think she ca n't make it without his help and makes tessa promise not to tell victor about the flare up . sharon tells scott she sees sparks between him and abby , but he insists he is n't interested in abby . abby persuades zack to go with her to nikki 's benefit concert even though he does n't want to go at first , because he does n't want her family to think they are really dating . victor tells abby that he thinks scott has potential to be his protégé which upsets abby who points out scott is n't family and does n't deserve to be considered for the big chair . abby tells victor that she will prove to him she deserves to be his protégé and sit in the big chair . |
[ previously_on ] cane : tonight , there 's a -- a dedication ceremony for neil . would you be my date ? ana : you had a panic attack . devon : okay , okay . i did . i had an attack . what do you want from me ? ana : i just want you to know it 's okay to ask for help . victor : i have a rare blood disease . nikki : oh , my god . victoria : i deserve to be c.e.o . when dad steps down , and i 'll be damned if i 'm gon na let adam take that away from me ! adam : now it is time for christian to know his real dad . nick : i am never giving him up , ever . why the sudden interest in adam newman ? rey : what is this ? sharon : pinot noir from australia . rey : mm . sharon : you like it ? rey : yeah . i 'm usually more of a beer guy , but it 's not half - bad . nice way to relax . sharon : we have n't done much of that lately ever since i convinced adam to come home . rey : [ sighs ] sharon : it 's one of the many reasons that i wish i had n't done that . rey : babe , we all make mistakes . as long as we learn from them , they serve a purpose . sharon : so you know , i told adam how i feel . rey : that you 're sorry he 's back in genoa city . sharon : and that i had any part in it , given the terrible things that he 's done . i told him that i 'm through with him and that he needs to leave me alone . rey : and what did he say to that ? sharon : he agreed to stay away from me . rey : hallelujah . sharon : he was n't too happy about it . rey : well , i sure the hell am . thank you for taking such a strong stance with him . hopefully it 'll be a long time before either one of us hears the name `` adam `` again . [ knocks on door ] sharon : nick ! what brings you by ? nick : i need to talk to rey . it 's about adam . billy : what the hell are you doing here at my daughter 's grave ? you 're the reason that she 's here . adam : i did n't mean to intrude . billy : no , but you are . adam : if i had known you were gon na be here , i would n't -- billy : i belong here , you do not . if there 's one place in the entire world that you should n't step foot in , this is it . and every day it still gets better she 's got style , she 's got class she 's just on another level he 's so fly , makes me laugh yeah , he 's just some kind of special [ cheers and applause ] jack : that was sensational . elena : sure was . jack : neil would have been blown away . devon : yeah , man . i really am missing him tonight . [ knocks on door ] victor : come in ! victoria : i got your message . victor : well , thank you for being so prompt ! victoria : is everything okay ? why did you want to meet so late ? victor : well , i got some , uh , news regarding my treatment . victoria : good news , i hope . victor : yeah , apparently , the condition has stabilized , you know , which is positive . victoria : [ sighs ] victor : but , uh ... that is n't enough for me . victoria : what does that mean ? victor : i have come to the conclusion that your mother is right . she thinks in order to optimize the treatment i should take some time off . victoria : okay . victor : which means that i will be stepping away from newman , temporarily . and i want you to become c.e.o . while i 'm gone . additional sponsorship nick : i need you to do some digging for me so i can win my custody case . rey : okay , what did you have in mind ? nick : i want to know what adam was up to those three years in vegas where we all thought he was dead and gone . rey : well , i assumed you had everything you needed . i mean , dear lord , this guy is malicious . he took your child , he gave it to victor and ashley , led sharon to believe that her baby had died . he ran over delia and covered it up . he changed the paternity test on christian so he could walk away , nick . nick : it 's an endless list , rey , one atrocity after another , but i can not rely on the distant past to convince a judge he 's an unfit father . sharon : nick and i both have a lot of experience with custody battles . they do n't always turn out the way that you expect , and adam will try to make the case that he 's turned his life around and changed . nick : we all know he is a sociopath who should n't be around children . but all it takes is one judge who really believes in redemption . sharon : everyone will claim that they want what 's in the best interest of the child . not everyone will agree on what that is . nick : the bottom line is , every time you go to court , it is a crapshoot and , where my son is concerned , i can not take that chance . rey : all right , so what i hear you saying is that you need some recent evidence that proves that adam is still of dubious character . nick : i think if you go to vegas and turn over enough stones , you will find some shady behavior . i mean , i 've made some inquiries myself ... rey : you know what , nick , why do n't we have this conversation somewhere else ? i think sharon 's trying to steer clear of all things adam . i 'd like to respect her wishes . sharon : uh , no , i 'll go . you two stay . i need to check in at the coffeehouse anyway . adam : if i had known you were here , i would n't have come . but , to me , this visit is long overdue . billy : you thought you were gon na find me in a moment of weakness and push my buttons ? adam : no , i 'm not trying to mess with you , billy . all right ? i swear . it 's just -- delia has been on my mind , since i ca n't be with my own kids . i know that does n't compare to your loss because my kids are healthy and thriving . but they are not a part of my life right now , and it 's killing me . so i just came to tell delia one last time how sorry i am that she is not with her family . billy : she 's with her mother , at least . adam : [ sighs ] you know , when my memories came rushing back , it was n't just because i got shot . it started before that , when you and victoria told me what i 'd done to delia . the , uh , guilt that my mind was trying to cover was so close to the surface . now , it terrified me . i know that you can relate . billy : no , see , do n't do that . do n't pretend that we have anything in common because we are not alike , and we never will be . adam : there was a time when you thought you could forgive me . billy : if you 're talking about what i said at your trial , see , there 's a subtly that you 're missing . because forgiveness is n't something that happens once and it stays done . every time i am reminded that i 'm never gon na see my daughter again , the pain that i feel , that does n't go away . it 's not done . every christmas , every holiday . every milestone deedee does n't get to experience is like a fresh gaping hole , and then i see you in your old malignant ways , not even trying to pretend to be a better man , and it just compounds the tragedy . adam : well , that is not how i look at things , but i understand if you need to see them that way . billy : oh , you 're gon na allow me my feelings ? after what you took from me . get the hell out of here . i swear to god , you got three seconds , or i am going to completely lose it on you . victoria : i do n't know what to say . i was n't expecting this . i mean , you 've been very resistant to the idea about stepping back . victor : i know i have . victoria : which makes me worry that maybe this is only happening because your illness is worse than you 're letting on . victor : sweetheart , i assure that i am not hiding anything , okay ? it is just that ... i have to acknowledge the reality of the situation , that 's all . and , uh , even if i wanted to ignore it , your mother would n't let me . victoria : well , i promise you , you will not regret giving me this chance . i am gon na make you so proud . victor : should have been you all along . victoria : yes , it should have been me , and i appreciate you acknowledging that . i think i have more than proven myself . of course , i understand you trying to establish the kind of father - son relationship that you feel you 've missed out on . victor : that idea has passed . victoria : dad , adam did you a favor by walking away . he is sharp , and he 's very clever , but he has no character , and his values are pitiful . the team here never would have trusted him . this is for the best . i know you do n't see that now , but you will . victor : you know , the fact that you can run this company with integrity is going to make you even more successful than you were before . victoria : thank you . that is my goal . victor : so you go . victoria : [ laughs ] victor : you go and enjoy yourself , okay ? victoria : no , i 've got to get to work . victor : i know my company is in good hands now . jack : mallory , this is my sister traci and our friend cane . cane : it 's nice to meet you , mallory . mallory : likewise . traci : have we met ? you seem so familiar to me . mallory : my father is a resident at bright tomorrows . traci : that 's it ! oh , of course , our mother 's there , too . i -- that 's where i know you from . mallory : i 've noticed you there , as well . it 's nice to finally put a name with the face . traci : oh , thank you . jack : is lily gon na be here ? i was hoping to see her . cane : uh , unfortunately , she has to work . jack : oh , what a shame . cane : yeah . yeah , she 's , uh -- she 's disappointed . devon : jack . jack : oh ! that 's my cue . showtime . excuse me , please . devon : i would like to bring to the stage mr . jack abbott to fill you all in on some exciting news with the abbott - winters foundation . jack , take it away . [ applause ] jack : i am delighted to see the turnout tonight , as we gather to dedicate this stage to a beloved friend , colleague , community member , uncle , and father . anyone who knew neil would tell you that music was his first love . when the foundation board debated over how best to use the very generous donations that were sent in , in neil 's honor , we quickly agreed music would have to be part of it . neil would want us to pay it forward to the musicians , to the songwriters who gave him so much joy and comfort and consolation during his lifetime . many of you already know that alcohol and drug use are , uh , deeply embedded in the performing arts culture and lifestyle . what you may not know is that artists have special challenges in dealing with the disease of addiction . many of them are afraid that if they fully embrace sobriety , their creativity suffers , that they would be overwhelmed by anxiety , by exhaustion , by depression -- the very depression that they are trying to self - medicate . they worry that they will be cut off from their connection to the business , that their careers will suffer . good people , talented people are being kept from what they need most . we 've lost too much talent far too young . so i am very proud tonight to announce that the abbott - winters foundation is developing an intensive treatment program geared specifically to the needs of music industry professionals with substance abuse problems . our goal is to develop a model that can be used across the country . as our friend neil would say , `` it 's good to touch a life . it 's better to save one . `` thank you all for being here . [ applause ] nick : when mom hired you to go to vegas to check on what my dad was up to , did you happen to run across any of spider 's gambling associates ? rey : yeah . a woman named riza . i met her once . nick : yeah , my mom mentioned her . who was she to adam ? rey : well , essentially , she was his agent . she 'd set up the underground poker games and take a cut of the action . nick : and she just offered up this information ? rey : mm , i pieced it together . she was n't very talkative . nick : all right , well , maybe things are different now . you know , her meal ticket 's bailed . if she 's not happy , she might be a little more forthcoming . rey : it 's worth a try . traci : i am so proud of what you 're doing . jack : you like our latest brainstorm ? traci : jack , it 's perfect . it 's exactly what neil stood for . offering people understanding and hope , it 's just a beautiful , beautiful living tribute to his legacy . jack : well , i am hopeful , with the board 's help , that we will get this thing up and running by the fall . traci : that would be fabulous . jack : now , where is mallory ? traci : um , she 's just gone to powder her nose . jack : oh . traci : and , jack ... i 'm very glad to see you socializing , you know , making some new friends ... jack : oh , boy , it 's official . i need to get out . it seems to be the consensus everywhere i go . traci : [ laughs ] well , i guess i ca n't really comment in that area because i 've been spending most of my time locked in the house working on my book . jack : well , you 're here now , right ? traci : yeah , but it was cane 's idea . he -- he wanted to be here for the dedication , but he 's still feeling a little awkward with lily 's family . jack : he 's lucky to have you as a friend . traci : well , it 's -- it 's not like that . um , what i mean is that of course he 's a friend . i just did n't want it to sound , you know , like a pity case . jack : why not ? i pity him . losing lily , not having her in his life anymore ... i 'm sure he 's got bruises from kicking himself . sharon : hi . adam : hey . sharon : how 's your night going ? adam : um ... terrible . thanks for asking . victoria : well , it 's only 10 : 00 a.m . there , so you should be able to get ahold of everyone that you need to make that change . terrific . you , too . bye - bye . billy : i got your text , but it looks like you 've got your hands full . victoria : well , that 's what happens when you become the c.e.o . of a mega- conglomerate . billy : i , uh -- i know i told you that i was gon na bring pizza home for the kids -- wait , hold on a second . what did you just say ? did you say c.e.o . ? victoria : it just happened . billy : what ? victoria : dad 's taking a leave of absence . billy : oh , my gosh ! congratulations . victoria : thank you . billy : finally saw the light , did n't he ? victoria : yeah , well , i wish it were under happier circumstances . billy : is it because of his illness ? victoria : mom 's persuaded him to sort of , you know , put his health first . it 's supposed to be top - secret so , please , do n't let on that you know . billy : i am just delighted that you finally get what you 've been working so hard for . victoria : well , it 's just an invitation to work that much harder . billy : hey ! life at the top . victoria : yeah . but i want to make some big moves right away , to show the world that i 'm not just a placeholder for victor newman , or for anyone else , for that matter . billy : what , you think your father 's gon na change his mind and replace you with you - know - who ? victoria : if i do an amazing job , i do n't think the thought will even occur to him . billy : well , i think you 're gon na have to do more than that . speaking of the snake , i just saw him at the cemetery . victoria : adam was at the cemetery ? billy : at delia 's grave , yeah . victoria : why ? billy : [ sighs ] he said he was there to pay his respects . victoria : oh . yeah . uh - huh . why was he really there ? billy : i do n't know , i did n't allow him to stick around long enough to waste my time and figure out . victoria : good . good choice . billy : my point is ... if that lowlife would use delia 's death to try and get a reaction out of me , there is no bottom . victoria : well , that 's something that we all know already . billy : so if you want to hold on to this position , the one that you deserve , job number one is keeping an eye on adam . look what he did to nick and dark horse . victoria : using the money that i gave him . however , i think i have a way to neutralize the threat . billy : then what are you waiting for ? victoria : nothing . sharon : you did n't say whether this was for here or to go . adam : so you made the choice for me . [ sighs ] i 'm sorry . sharon : for what ? adam : i told you i would stay out of your life , and every time you turn around , there i am . i should find a new place to get coffee . sharon : i -- i did n't mean to ban you from crimson lights , it 's fine . i just really thought we should set some boundaries . adam : well , you 'll be seeing a lot less of me because i 'm moving back into my old penthouse . sharon : what ? adam : mm . sharon : i never expected you to move because of what i said . adam : i 'm not . dad evicted me . i guess if i want to talk to anybody in this town , i 'll have to get a dog . sharon : is that why you said your night was terrible , because you fought with victor ? adam : i stopped by delia 's grave . i -- i do n't know why , i just felt the need . billy was there , and he was already upset , of course , because , you know , he was thinking about his beloved child that died , and ... who shows up but the heartless bastard who killed her ? -my timing was impeccable , as always . sharon : well , i 'm sorry . i 'm sorry for both of your sakes . that sounds intense . adam : no , intense , i could have handled . once billy got rolling , things got ugly , and it just -- what am i doing ? i promise to keep you out of all my drama . sharon : i was really just talking about custody battles and corporate espionage , not something like this . i mean , if it helps you to talk -- adam : no , sharon , all right ? i ca n't keep leaning on you indefinitely . it is not fair to either one of us . sharon : adam -- adam : look , you need a clean break , and , if i 'm being honest , it 's probably the best thing for me , too . [ sighs ] even though i am going to hate it . good night . cane : so , i , uh -- i knew this bloke in australia , and , uh , he was a singer- songwriter , a really talented guy . anyway , he had this horrible stage fright , and every time he would go up onstage , he 'd freeze . so he started drinking some beers . next thing you know , he 's chasing the beers with whiskey , with pills on top of it , and , see , he kind of got to the point where ... well , he was so out of it , he 'd go up onstage and freeze anyway . traci : that 's awful . that 's the worst kind of irony , it 's so sad . cane : right , right , but i 'm thinking -- you know , that program that jack was talking about , it would be a godsend for this guy , and i 'm pretty certain that devon 's gon na get involved , and ... i do n't know , maybe i could pitch him , too , you know ? traci : oh ! i 'm sure they would want that . i mean , you have so much to offer . i 'm sure some of these folks have had brushes with the law , and ... cane : right . yeah . right . traci : you could talk them through the process of rebuilding their lives , just like you do with your clients at work . cane : right . traci : that would be wonderful . cane : [ sighs ] yeah . looks like lily made it after all . well , at least devon 's gon na be delighted . `` the young and the restless `` will continue . devon : oh ! hey , i thought you had to work . lily : yeah , i did , but i did n't want to miss this , so i got someone to cover for me devon : oh , well , i appreciate the effort . you remember elena , right ? lily : of course . good to see you . elena : good to see you . devon : and , uh , just so you know , cane is here . lily : yeah , i know . it 's fine . it 's fine . he loved dad , too , so ... will you show me the plaque that you had made for dad ? devon : yeah , for sure . it 's right over here . jack : look who 's here ! lily : hey ! jack ! jack : what a nice surprise ! lily : oh , thanks ! jack : mallory , this is lily , neil 's daughter . lily : hi , nice to meet you . jack : she 's come all the way from lakewood tonight . lily : yeah ! mallory : i 'm so sorry for your loss . lily : oh , thank you . jack : devon , i have a foundation donor at the end of the bar that wants to talk to you personally . devon : sure thing , sure thing . would you mind showing lily the plaque ? elena : yeah , of course . devon : okay . i 'll be right back . see ya . jack : thanks , man . traci : do you want to go say hello to lily ? cane : no , there 's -- there 's no rush . she just got here . let 's finish our drinks . traci : okay . that 's fine with me . devon : hey . you and jett sounded really great tonight . ana : glad you approve . and do n't worry if i get in late tonight . i agreed to help with clean - up . devon : you do n't have to . we have staff for that stuff . ana : i need the extra time to cool off . for you to bring in someone to train me like i 'm some newbie , i thought you had more confidence in my ability , but apparently i was wrong . devon : ana , i do n't want to talk about this right now . okay ? i 'm trying to focus on my dad . did you forget what tonight is supposed to be about ? [ door slams ] victor : what the hell are you doing here ? billy : i believe in giving credit where it 's due . i chewed you out for treating adam like an undeserved favorite . then you went and promoted victoria , which was the right thing to do . for your family and your business . victor : what makes you think i give a damn about whether i have your approval or not ? lily : charlie and mattie are going to love dad 's plaque . i know he would have loved it , too . that quote was one of his favorite . elena : yeah . yeah , it was really important for devon to get it right . all the little details . he and abby spent a lot of time coordinating everything . lily : i 'm really worried about him . i feel like he 's taking on too much . right ? i mean , he 's arranging this tribute and organizing jett 's tour , overseeing the restaurant . he 's running hamilton - winters without my dad ... and lost his assistant when he made ana his partner at lp . elena : and ana has n't really been around . she went with jett on his first few gigs to help him get used to being on tour again . lily : oh . so that means that you and devon are staying at the penthouse ? elena : [ chuckles ] lily : [ giggles ] lily : i 'm not trying to pry , i 'm really not , but , uh ... i am happy that devon has found someone special again . elena : thank you for saying so . ana : lily ! lily : hey ! ana : we 're all so pleased you could make it . lily : aww , thank you . i 'm glad to be here . jett : come on , it 's only right . lily : oh ! congratulations on your comeback tour . i 'm glad you and ana could come back in time to perform . ana : yeah . jett : well , it 's the least we could do , especially with how generous devon 's been with us . lily : yeah . oh , where is nate ? did he work tonight ? ana : no , he was here earlier . elena : there was a little tension with nate and devon . um , nate sold the apartment neil left for him , and devon was not very happy about it . nick : it 's a little late , do n't you think ? victoria : i realize that you 're upset with me , but , please , just hear me out . nick : [ sighs ] victoria : dad surprised me tonight . he promoted me to c.e.o . mom persuaded him to take a time - out while he 's in treatment . nick : [ scoffs ] well , congratulations . your teaming up with adam really paid off , and now you have everything you want . victoria : no , not everything . i need someone to take over for me at c.o.o . , and i think you 'd be perfect for the job . jack : take care . mallory : night ! traci : i 'm gon na go say hello to lily . lily : traci ! traci : hi . lily : it 's good to see you . traci : oh , thank you . you too , honey . how are you holding up ?

billy : yeah , um , you 've been dealing with some disappointments lately . i 'm sure you felt that adam was gon na be your heir apparent , and i guarantee that you were hoping victoria would kick me to the curb . victor : you 're right about that . billy : but neither one of those two things happened . so i think that 's good for you because your daughter is going to excel at the helm of this company , and i am going to be part of that success . victor : oh , yeah ? how do you figure that ? billy : because i 'm gon na support her . i 'm gon na give her everything she needs because i believe in her . an i think victoria 's the right person to lead this company into the future . and i am very excited to watch it happen . victor : well , i hope you mean that , you do n't self - destruct halfway through and then dump her , as you have done in the past . billy : that 's funny . i was gon na say the same thing about you . victor : [ chuckles ] billy boy . you know the way you came in . nick : [ sighs ] you 've got a lot of nerve , vick , thinking i would work with you after what you 've done . victoria : i know you 're not my biggest fan right now . nick : you think ? victoria : with good reason . but i also know that you 're smart enough to recognize what i 'm offering . working with me , you could have all of newman enterprises ' resources behind you . nick : power does n't motivate me the same way it does you and dad . victoria : even if you could wield it against adam ? phyllis : hi there . long time , no see . velma : [ sighs ] okay , velma , old girl . it 's time to get back in there . cane : traci ? traci : oh , cane . hi . hi . cane : hey . hey . is , uh -- is everything okay ? what are you doing out here ? traci : yes . everything 's fine . i -- i just was getting a little bit of air , you know . [ sighs ] i had an idea for the story , for the book , and i -- i just needed a private moment to sort of think it through , you know ? sometimes that happens , the story grabs you and it just wo n't let go . cane : why do n't i take you home and you can work in peace ? traci : no , that 's okay . i can find my own way home . i 'm sure that you 're really anxious to catch up with lily . cane : yeah , i , uh ... i already did . come here . madame ? rey : hey ! you 're back . sharon : hey . how 'd it go with nick ? rey : we had a productive discussion . sharon : well , i 'm glad i went to the coffeehouse . it turns out , brenda was a little under the weather , so i just sent her home for the day and filled in . rey : yeah ? place pretty busy ? sharon : put it this way , i 'm glad to be home with the man i love . [ door opens ] devon : hey . you 're home earlier than i thought . elena : devon . what 's wrong ? are you having a hard time breathing ? i 'm gon na loosen your tie . sit down . devon : [ panting ] elena : is it chest pain ? pressure ? are you light - headed ? nauseous ? devon : [ panting ] it 's not my heart , it 's just -- i need my pills . elena : okay , where are your pillows ? devon : in the bar . elena : okay . devon : [ panting ] elena : it 's okay , it 's okay . it 's okay . just breathe . breathe , breathe , breathe . devon : [ panting ] elena : here . okay . breathe with me . in ... 2 , 3 , 4 . out ... 2 ... victoria : thank you for the hospitality . nick : you were saying ? victoria : if you accept the job as my c.o.o . , your first assignment is to bring adam down . i hate that he used my money to buy dark horse out from under you , and i want to help you get it back . nick : well , that has some appeal to me , but dark horse is a secondary concern now . victoria : i know it wo n't mean anything if the judge forces your little boy to go and live with adam . [ sighs ] we can make sure that does n't happen . nick : how ? victoria : you know adam 's fateful flaw . nick : being a hateful son of a bitch ? victoria : over - confidence . he always takes it a step too far , especially when he 's cornered . so we corner him . we push him to the brink . and when crosses the line , we catch him , we document it , and we prove to the court that he does not deserve to raise your son . so what do you say ? are you with me ? adam : where have you been hiding out ? had a lot of folks worried . phyllis : including you ? adam : well , i had hoped you were at some luxurious locale spending a big chunk of that money i gave you . phyllis : well , i was . after i escaped from the hellhole you had me stashed in . adam : what are you saying ? you 've been held somewhere against your will ? phyllis : [ sighs ] do n't insult my intelligence by pretending you had nothing to do with it . adam : why would i want to kidnap you , phyllis ? after we were working so well together . phyllis : well , i do n't know , maybe because i know too much . guess what ? i know more . after i left that roach motel , i went to vegas . you know what they say about vegas . whatever happens there , stays there . but not in this case . adam : mm - hmm . phyllis : do n't you come near me because i will scream . this is n't the ranch . you have neighbors . adam : i have no intention of hurting you , phyllis . and , anyway , it 's pretty clear that you 're bluffing . phyllis : why is that , because i could never know about your connections to people in vegas ? especially not to a certain member of the chancellor family ? next week on `` the young and the restless `` ... victor : the treatment i 've been getting is no longer working . apparently , there 's a new drug that they experimented with ... nick : well , it sounds like this is your best bet to beat the disease . victor : the side effects . cane : i 'm proud that i could have played a small part in helping you find your story . it 's incredible . you 're incredible . adam : you can stop playing nice . we both know you would kill me right now if you could . | billy tells adam to leave delia 's grave because it is the one place in the world he should never be is anywhere near delia 's grave . nick asks rey to go to las vegas and dig up as much dirt on adam as he can so he can use it against him in the custody battle . lily arrives late to the music stage dedication but cane ca n't take his eyes off her . cane and traci say hello to lily and then traci leaves cane and lily alone to talk . cane realizes that things are awkward between him and lily and they ca n't even make polite conversation . cane tells lily that he must find traci and take her home because they drove to the party together . jack announces that in memory of neil the abbott winters foundation is developing a treament program to help those who are in the music industry . victir wants to take a leave of absence to focus on treating his illness so he names victoria ceo . victoria asks nick to be coo of the company and tells him that his focus would be keeping an eye on adam and waiting untill he makes a mistake so they could use it against him in the custody suit . devon has a panic attack when elena arrives home but instead of seeing elena he sees hilary walk through the door . adam is surprised to see phyllis when he walks through the door of his penthouse . phyllis tells him that she went to vegas and knows all his secrets . adam thinks phyllis is bluffing until she tells him she knows all about his connection to a member of the chancellor family . |

( sighs ) he was , in fact , the first to report the man 's criminal behavior to the authorities . mr. romalotti simply wanted justice and now for his efforts has been made a scapegoat . your honor , this is a promising artist with a bright future . he has no reason to commit a crime of this nature and certainly not the inclination . he has no history of violence . we therefore request that the bail be assessed accordingly .

summer : so this is what you could n't tell me -- how you all were setting up my grandpa ? kyle , you live with him . he treated you like a son , and you just sat there and watched them haul him off like he was some criminal ? kyle : summer , please , you -- phyllis : look ... we need to stay calm , and we need to just discuss this rationally . summer : how can i be rational ? i just watched my grandfather be arrested . phyllis : there is a reasonable explanation for all of this , is n't there ? marco : summer , he was n't set up . and kyle is not responsible for his situation . you know me . you know victor . i would n't do this , and above all , victor would n't allow this to happen . summer : you two called a truce , and you made such a big deal out of it . i mean , between the company name and the dinner and the shaking of the hands and the smiling at one another , you did n't mean any of it , did you ? how long were you setting this up for ? you just had to stab him in the back , did n't you ? you just had to send him to jail ? marco : i give you my word , i did not want this to happen . i did n't . look , when i said no more drama , i meant no more drama . i want peace in my life . i want a chance to live out my days with the woman i love . fighting with victor , arguing with you , defending myself -- who wants that ? summer : you , because you want him gone completely . you want everything to yourself . marco : that is your grandfather 's game , sweetheart , not mine . summer : yeah , it may be , but you know what ? at least he owns up to it . he does n't pretend to be someone that he 's not . jack : your marco has taken over my life -- my son , my family , my wife ! how does he snow an entire town ? ! marisa : i thought you were marco -- me ! i even kissed you because of it . the captain tried to kill you . people want you dead because of your face . they only see what 's in front of them . jack : but you know the truth now . marisa : because you told me . jack : no , you knew something was n't right . marisa : marco is in that magical town of yours . jack : genoa city . marisa : and if he wants them to think that he is you , then they will believe . jack : that is ridiculous . he 's not me ! and somebody would 've noticed . not everybody but the people closest to me -- my son , my wife -- phyllis . that son of a bitch ! no ! billy : it happened . victor is in the pokey . ashley : really ? you know , i did n't gather that from the dozens of calls and texts i got asking what this meant for the future of newman - abbott . billy : well , it means that snidely ca n't tear us down , and you can feel free to spread the good news . ashley : i think i asked you to text kyle and tell him not to do anything until i had a chance to speak with jack . billy : well , you may not know how free will works , but i do n't actually have to do what you say , especially if it 's a mistake . ashley : a mistake . you 're gon na question my judgment . you let our nephew oversee a money transfer that implicates ... victor newman . billy : no , that was jack 's call . ashley : what happened to your free will , billy ? you could 've said no , could n't you . billy : well , clearly , i thought it was a decent idea . it worked . i was right . ashley : it did n't have to happen today . it could have waited until i spoke with jack , and you know it . billy : ash , the window of opportunity was closing . i confirmed the transfer . it 's done . there 's nothing else to talk about . ashley : do you know what this really is ? billy : what ? tell me . ashley : you did n't want to wait because you knew it was your chance at payback . finally , after all this time , you could get even with victor , and you know it . billy : you may not believe this , but this was n't a vendetta . it was self- preservation . ashley : right . billy : it was eat or be eaten . victor is always one step ahead of us , and you know it . and this time , he was n't . we scored a point . victor is finally out of the picture . ashley : oh , my god . you really believe he 's just gon na lie back and take this ? really ? paul : there you go . so ... it did n't take long to trace the missing funds back to you , victor , which , on one hand , is really great . you know , i save on manpower , and i have a case that 's instantly solved . but on the other hand ... i 've known you a long time . it 's just not like you to leave a trail like that . so either you got sloppy , or ... you did n't care . did n't think anyone would notice . so why do n't you help me out here ? why do n't you , um ... explain it to me ? tell me what you know . ashley : an arrest does not mean that victor spends the rest of his life in jail , billy . it means an arraignment and then bail and then poof -- he 's out . it means an investigation , a trial , a forensics accountant , who 's going to track down the funds and everyone that was involved . that 's what it means . billy : what , like -- like we did n't know that ? ash , we knew that from the beginning , and we have been taking precautions , so just relax and let this play out . ashley : how could you be okay with it ? relaxing and let it play out ? are you kidding me ? billy : victor would 've done this to us the first chance he got . ashley : exactly ! and that 's why we 're abbotts and he 's victor newman . our father would 've been so disgusted by us , billy ! billy : ashley ... ashley , look at me . i hear what you 're saying . i do . and i know that this is not a perfect scenario . ashley : far , far from it . but this is the move that we had to make . ashley : no , we did n't ! jack did this . jack took this too far , and he 's left us out of the loop too damn long . i want an explanation . billy : ash , come on . it worked . we won . this benefits all of us . just try and be grateful . ashley : to jack ? i 'm supposed to be grateful to jack ? there 's too many secrets , billy . like , what about gabe ? what the hell is that about ? billy : i do n't know . okay ? he 's jack 's son , and he hates victor , and ... billy : i ca n't stand the guy , but at least we know that he 's never gon na side with victor . ashley : we do n't . we do n't know anything . that 's what i 'm trying to tell you . that 's what makes us vulnerable . billy : i covered our tracks . okay ? we 're fine . ashley : you better hope to god that you were thorough , because if we end up in jail and victor 's out there , he 's gon na be able to do whatever he wants to our family and whatever 's left of jabot . paul : all right , here it is . victoria : when are you releasing my father ? he 's done nothing . please tell me you 're listening to everything he has to say right now . paul : well , i would , but the thing is , he 's not saying anything . he 's not even denying the charges . victoria : that 's ridiculous . of course he denies it . paul : well , no . actually , he 's only said two words since i brought him in -- `` my attorney . `` victoria : well , then listen to me . my father is innocent , okay ? you know it . paul : well , that may be the case , but i still have enough evidence to make an arrest . victoria : well , that 's convenient . i want to see him . paul : okay . that 's a good idea . maybe you can talk some sense into him . just make it short . victoria : dad , why did n't you tell paul that you 're not guilty ? you were set up . everybody knows that it was jack . why are you just sitting there , saying nothing ? victor : i will handle things , all right ? victoria : you 're not even trying to fight these charges . i do n't want to hear that it 's because of the bad press or because of the company or because of the merger . i will go to paul right now , and i will tell him everything that i know . victor : victoria . you will say nothing to paul . nothing . got that ? marco : summer , i swear to you , i did not do anything to victor . we did not do anything to victor . summer : he was just arrested . marco : the police may have their issue with him . it has nothing to do with the abbotts . this is what victor does . he plans , he connives , he steps over the line -- legally and ethically . i wish he had changed . i thought he had . summer : you pretended that things had changed . marco : kyle had his questions about this merger from the very beginning . he was n't alone . other people questioned whether this was real . it turns out kyle was right -- not because i was n't sincere . because victor was n't . and i was n't stupid about this . i did n't expect victor to transform overnight to an innocent . but i thought we had a truce , especially after he saved my life . i mean , he wanted jabot . he could 've let me die in the underground and just made a play for the company afterwards . summer : yeah , but he did n't because he 's a bigger man than that . he does n't want to fight with you anymore , jack . marco : i wanted to think that , too , but you know what ? it occurred to me that maybe getting the company that way was too easy . he needed more of a challenge , so he did this , and he got caught . victor did this to himself . kyle : look , summer , you have to -- marco : summer knows what i 'm talking about . summer knows victor very well , whether she wants to face it or not . summer , i know this is difficult , but it 's the truth . summer : i ca n't listen to this anymore . kyle : summer , just wait -- marco : kyle , kyle , stick around . i need you to help me with the fallout . kyle : but , dad , she 's upset . marco : i think it 's time for her mother to talk to her . do you think you could help her see things a little more clearly ? phyllis : sure , i 'll give that a shot . marco : i knew i could count on you . jack : he 's fooled all of them -- my brother , my sisters , my son , my wife . if that lowlife piece of garbage -- marisa : you judge him . you do n't know him ! jack : he is masquerading as me , with my family . you bet i judge him . he 's putting them in danger . there are people out there that want to kill this maniac . he 's surrounding himself with the people i love ! marisa : you love her . jack : more than anything in the world . and she knows that looking in my eyes . marisa : then you know how to look at a woman . and so does marco . jack : he does n't know her . i do . marisa : and i do n't know you . but for a few moments , a few kisses , i believed in you because i wanted marco back ... alive , with me . jack : she knows everything about me . marisa : does she love you ? would the thought of losing you hurt her ? jack : of course , it would , yes . marisa : so then she 's not thinking about you being lost . the love of her life is right there with her . jack : if that thug has taken over my life -- marisa : he 's not some thug . he 's clever and intelligent and passionate . and if he wants your wife to believe in him , he 'll make her believe . and you 're right -- he 's a son of a bitch ! [ scene_break ] victor : i need you to get me out of bail . victoria : of course . but you have to at least fight , dad , starting right now , this second , not after you get out on bail . victor : do n't you worry about a thing , okay ? victoria : how can you be so calm ? is this part of the plan , so that you can retaliate against jack later ? victor : there will be no retaliation . right now , the issue at hand is my arraignment and bail . victoria : dad , why ? you could get the charges tossed right now . you knew that jack was up to something , you saw it coming , you could tell paul , you can have him release you , and you can look into it . victor : that is not my priority right now . victoria : the abbotts drained our accounts . they 're trying to set you up . they 're trying to keep you out of the loop and discredit you . they want to take control of newman - abbott . that 's what they want . victor : listen to me carefully . i do n't give a damn about the abbotts . right now , i 'm concerned about the safety of the lives of the people i love . victoria : dad , what are you talking about ? kyle : you know , dad , the way you lied to summer and phyllis just now , i almost believed you . and i know the truth . marco : i had to do that for their sake . for them to know the truth now would be risky . i could n't do that to them . kyle : i just did n't think that it would feel like this . marco : this is what justice feels like , son . victor is not a victim . he 's not an innocent . after everything he 's done ? kyle : i do n't understand . has he done something to you recently that we do n't know about ? ashley : you better not be gloating . marco : gloating ? no , of course not . billy : ashley thinks i jumped the gun . ashley : yeah . i told billy that kyle should n't do anything until i had a chance to talk with you . marco : well , thank god you did n't wait . we needed things in action , and now we need to all pull together and protect our father 's legacy from victor . ashley : could you explain that to me ? when did victor become so dangerous that you had to go to these lengths to neutralize him ? marco : i was wrong about victor . you want me to say it again ? i was wrong . billy : a guy saves your life , and you think that maybe he 's not an ass anymore . i mean , the same thing happened to me with gabe when he hauled me out of that penthouse fire , and i thought , `` well , maybe this guy 's not such a complete donkey after all . `` ' course , then he had sex with my fiancée , and here we are . plus , now he 's my nephew . ashley : yeah . some more information that you withheld from us . marco : could we just fight one battle at a time ? right now , we all have to stick together . stay with the plan . ashley : and what plan is that ? marco : the forensic accountants will do their job first . ashley : right , leaving a trail that will lead right back to him , right ? kyle : no . i followed the directions . it ca n't come back to me , right ? billy : ash , you 're freaking the kid out . look , i did my job , you did yours . marco : i promise you , everything will lead back to victor . ashley : yeah , my daughter 's father , who has done nothing , and yet he 's been arrested . billy : kind of like how he had victoria thrown in jail on our wedding day . yeah . yeah , i 'm really torn up about this . ashley : you know what , billy , is this a vendetta , or are we protecting our father 's legacy ? because i 'm just not sure anymore . billy : i say we make it about both . kyle : it had to be done . ashley : no , there had to be a better way . marco : it 's a moot point . it 's happening now . look , we all have to trust each other . ashley : you want us to trust you , even though you 've withheld information every step of the way . well , i 'm not gon na blindly follow you any more . kyle : wait . are you saying you do n't have our backs anymore ? ashley : there 's more to this , is n't there , jack ? there 's more than you 're saying . jack : an imposter 's with my wife , in my bed . i got to get out of here . marisa : stop , stop . ma -- maybe he is n't with her . maybe he knew he had to keep her away to pull off the charade . jack : did he say something ? did he talk about phyllis on the phone ? marisa : there was n't enough time . i just know he 's occupying your life . jack : that 's why i have to get back there . they 're going to figure it out sooner or later , and once he 's discovered , he 's dangerous . marisa : i can promise you that . jack : get into town . get the money that he wired you . marisa : marco knows me . i know marco . that 's the way it is with love . so i would know him anywhere . phyllis : summer , you do not walk out -- summer : you 're supposed to know jack better than anybody else . how could he do that ? how could you not know ? phyllis : okay . can we just slow down and stop blaming me for everything right now ? we do n't know what happened . summer : i do know what happened . phyllis : no , you do n't . you do n't know if victor was set up . you do n't know if jack was behind this . summer : kyle made it very clear that something was going on . they were trying to frame victor and send him to jail . phyllis : victor has gotten himself out of worse situations than this . summer : so that 's an excuse for jack to torture him ? phyllis : no , that is n't what i 'm saying . i 'm saying that trauma can change a person . look at me -- i 'm not the same person who fell down the stairs and ended up in a coma . jack almost died . victor saved him , and he exploited that fact . it would 've gotten worse . no matter if you do n't want to see this or not , victor is capable of anything . summer : okay . well , it still does n't make any sense to me . phyllis : summer , i am trying here , okay ? summer : you 're trying to smooth things over for jack . he loves you . and he loves me , and if he said he did n't do this to victor -- summer : you keep saying that victor is capable of doing all these things , but you 're forgetting that jack has done things , too . i 've heard the stories . i do n't know -- i do n't know how you 're believing these lies . phyllis : you stop it . not another word . that is my husband , and he has loved you like a daughter . he went into this merger in faith to end this war for good . summer : yeah , ending it by destroying someone that i love , and you know that it 's true . you just do n't want to admit that jack has been lying to your face for months . victor : all i can tell you is that you have got to let me handle things . victoria : handle what ? what are you talking about ? how could we be in danger ? victor : sweetheart , the details are irrelevant . i want you to call my security team . make sure that they assign one guard to each member of my family . victoria : dad , now you 're beginning to make me nervous right now . victor : once bail has been arranged , i will take care of the rest . victoria : physical danger ? so you really think that somebody would try to harm our family ? victoria : but jack would never do something like that . victor : this has nothing to do with jack abbott . victoria : then who are you talking about ? marco : why are you doing this ? we are on the same team . ashley : do n't try that with me . you 've been a team of one for months . marco : i am focused on the future , eliminating threats so that we can go on and live our lives . it 's as simple as that . ashley : i 'm taking this . this is n't over . billy : i will try and get through to her . marco : give it your best shot . thanks . thank you for sticking around . kyle : i should get back to summer . marco : wait , wait . we need to talk . i want to make sure there are no loose ends that need to be tied up . phyllis : i have no illusions about jack . this is not our first time around . i have lied to him , he 's lied to me . that was then , not now . summer : so you do think that grandpa is guilty of embezzlement . why would he do anything like that ? phyllis : it would n't be the first time . victor loves games . taking money from one place , bringing it to another -- that 's what he does . that 's nothing for him . summer : okay . well , i 'm not asking if he could do it . i 'm asking you if you actually think that he did it -- the man that helped take you out of a coma , the man that saved jack 's life . you really think that he would do this ? phyllis : we are not certain about what happened . summer : you know , if victor did n't do it , then he was framed . phyllis : summer ... summer : no , kyle wanted to tell me something so much . he was so close . and if i would 've known , i would 've tried to stop him . why would he do that to grandpa ? he 's just doing anything that jack tells him to do , no matter how dirty it is . phyllis : you have no details , no confirmation . you 're convicting kyle already ? summer : oh , no , i 'm blaming jack , too , 'cause he made kyle do this . do you still want to stick up for your husband now ? phyllis : summer , go home . i will talk to jack . i will find out what 's really going on . summer : no , i do n't think you want to know really what 's going on . kyle told me that our love is stronger than their stupid war , and i really hope that that 's the truth for you and jack . phyllis : i smell alcohol on your breath . marco : yeah , yeah , i had one little drink . celebrating . the meeting i just had , it 's about jabot . phyllis : you ca n't have `` one little drink . `` you 're in recovery . you always will be . marco : do n't be a killjoy . there are great things on the horizon -- for me and my company . this is not a time to be worried . phyllis : i am worried you think this path you 're on is n't dangerous . have you forgotten the hell you went through to kick your addiction ? marco : i absolutely have not . neither have i forgotten that you were right there with me . phyllis : yeah , and i do n't want to go back to that place . marco : do you really think i would do that to us ? phyllis : i thought this newman - abbott deal was an equal partnership . marco : it is . phyllis : then why are you stepping back and letting victor run things ? considering your history , i 'd think you 'd be watching his every move . jack : you would think that , would n't you ? phyllis : so ... why are n't you ? come on . are n't you afraid the rat 's gon na just take over while the cat is out there speeding around in his new ferrari ? marco : i trust victor . you ca n't really be saying you prefer the old , boring jack , whose only focus was a cosmetics company , can you ? come here . phyllis : i 'm just trying to get used to this new you . marco : oh , this is still me , whether i 'm behind a desk or with you on top of it . marco : [ speaking spanish ] phyllis : honey , are you all right ? marco : just had a strange dream . phyllis : more like a nightmare , from the sound of it . marco : `` sound of it `` ? phyllis : yeah , you called out just before you woke up . marco : what did i say ? phyllis : i have no idea . it was in spanish . marco : spanish ? phyllis : that 's what it sounded like . since when are you fluent in spanish ? [ gasps ] marco : what the heck do you think you 're doing ? phyllis : how could you possibly have a son that you never told me about ? you have always been able to deal with your family . they have n't changed . the one thing that is different here is you . jack : how much did he send ? marisa : it was n't there . jack : oh , come on . there was nothing there ? marisa : what ? you think i kept it for myself ? would i have bothered coming back for you if i did ? jack : okay . i 'm -- i 'm sorry . i 'm worried about my family . i -- wait , wait . you told him where you were so he could wire you the money . marisa : yes . but i told you , it was n't there . jack : we got to get out of here now . marisa : go where ? how ? jack : you told me you know marco , he knows you . he knows you lied about me being dead . come on . victoria : that 's it ? we need protection from someone , but you wo n't tell me who ? victor : mm - hmm . victoria : i 'm sorry , but that 's not good enough , dad . what about you ? are you safe in here ? should i be worried about you ? paul : okay . i brought your attorney , just like you requested . victor : mm . paul : so , victoria , your visit 's over . i hope it was productive . so , i take it it did n't go too well . summer : how 's grandpa ? victoria : i do n't even know how to answer that question . summer : well , i need to be interviewed or interrogated , whatever . i just need to talk about these charges about my grandpa . victoria : no , summer , you 're not involved in this . summer : yes , i am -- as much as you , if not more . victoria : just calm down , come with me , and -- paul : you know , summer is an adult . i 'd like to hear what she has to say . summer : victor was set up . the abbotts arranged this entire thing . kyle goes out of town , and as soon as he comes back , my grandpa was arrested . find out where he was and what he was doing , and i 'm sure you 're gon na find that account where the money was stashed . [ scene_break ] jack : who the hell are you ? ! man : tie her hands . jack : oh , you 're giving me orders now ? do you know who you 're dealing with ? ! you get out of here while you still have a chance ! marisa : it 's marco , idiota ! man : marco gave me orders . jack : i gave you orders ? oh , no . amigo , someone is playing you . get the hell out of here before i lose my temper ! man : you 're a candy - ass rich guy with the same face . now tie her up . jack : go ahead -- shoot me . save one bullet for yourself . marisa : you followed me here , did n't you ? they told you to trail me back here ? are you stupid ? they all want marco dead , and once you hand him over , you 'll be dead , too . marisa : stop ! no more . jack : you keep your mouth shut if you want to stay alive . marisa : please ... please , leave me out of it . we 're all dead if you do this . at least give me a head start . you 're such a -- you 're such a strong man . i 'll do anything . man : ohh ! marisa : get away from him ! kyle : there are no loose ends , at least not because of me . i followed the plan , dad . the money is in the account , and it obviously led them back to victor . now , when the police are done with the investigation , they have to release the funds back to us . and , dad , we are gon na put that money back where it belongs . marco : this is why i knew i could count on you , son . you did a great job . [ cell phone beeps ] marco : i know this is difficult , but it had to be done . billy : jack , would you tell her that all is right with the world and that we can enjoy this victory ? ashley : oh , i 'm sorry , billy . you know , you can say it a thousand times , but i 'm not gon na stop being concerned , and i 'm not gon na stop asking questions . billy : okay , fine . do n't enjoy it , but at least stop doubting it . look , your turn to try and talk her down . ashley : excuse me ? you really think i could be manipulated that easily ? you keep talking that way to me -- marco : no , no , no , no , no ! we ca n't keep being at each other 's throats . look , i want to talk to you both about all of this and more ... but i have something i have to deal with . ashley : oh , no , you do n't . marco : you know what you can do . i have faith in you . ashley : what ? ! billy : jack ... ashley : yeah , he has faith in you because you 've been parroting everything he says lately . and now he 's leaving yet again . no alarms going off yet , huh ? our brother 's acting completely out of character . billy : maybe he 's just sick of victor always coming out on top . and you know what ? so am i. i mean , are n't -- are n't you guys ready to see victor actually lose a round for once ? kyle : ashley 's right . dad is different -- and not just the way he 's reacting to victor but the way he 's reacting to everything . it 's -- it 's ... it 's weird . phyllis : have you seen jack ? i need him to explain things to summer himself , and then i need to talk to him . kyle : how is she ? kyle abbott ? kyle : yes . you 're wanted down at the station for questioning . victoria : i told you not to get into this . just let dad handle it . summer : okay . so you think he 's guilty . you think that grandpa embezzled money . victoria : no , of course i do n't think that . summer : then we should be in there defending him instead of letting the police believe all these lies . victoria : but we do n't have enough information . what we do know is that dad wants us to stay out of it . he wants to handle it on his own . summer : meanwhile , jack wins . victoria : jack is n't the issue -- not right now . at least , not according to dad . summer : what does that even mean ? did someone else set grandpa up ? i do n't understand . victoria : i do n't know . i was hoping that maybe you could help with that . have you heard anything from the abbotts ? anything at all ? victor : i 'll speak with you shortly . thank you . victoria : he arranged bail that quickly . summer : hi . hi . victor : he is paid to be efficient . summer : grandpa , are you okay ? victor : yes , my sweetheart , i 'm okay . do n't you worry about me . okay ? summer : are you done here ? can you go home now ? victor : yes , i can . now , a security detail will be watching over you . have you arranged for it ? summer : wait . security ? why ? i do n't -- victoria : i called them . they 're coming . they asked us to wait here until they arrive . summer : wait . what kyle and jack was awful , but it was n't dangerous . victor : i want you to stay here and wait for your bodyguard . is that clear ? and after that , you be careful . whatever you do , you be careful . i 'll take care of the abbotts . phyllis : the police want kyle for questioning ? i mean , according to jack , he 's done nothing wrong . what the hell is going on here ? billy : the questioning is just that -- questions . of course they 're gon na look at us . they want to go over the details , that 's all . ashley : and what details are that , exactly ? billy : here 's a thought . i 'm gon na go down to the jail and make sure that kyle has a ride home when this is all over , which i 'm sure will be ... quick . all right ? so , everything 's gon na be fine . all righty ? ashley : yeah , get kyle out of there , please . he 's not guilty of any of this . phyllis : why do n't you talk to me and tell me what 's going on ? ashley : you do n't want to know , phyllis . believe me , you do n't want to know . i wish i did n't . phyllis : well , that 's not terrifying at all . ashley : it 's bad . phyllis : this was all a plan . you 're all in on it , are n't you . ashley : look , i was n't at first . i know , and then i caved , and that means i 'm sharing the guilt . phyllis : okay . what about the others ? ashley : oh , please . billy 's happy to see victor twist . kyle just wants to please his father . phyllis : so , jack arranged all this ? he was behind it even though he denied it ? jack lied to me -- to my face . ashley : you 're not the only one , and this is n't the first time , but this does feel different . i do n't even recognize the man that my brother 's become . phyllis : neither do i .
