>> Adam: I take it Billy hasn't brought the boys back from
skating yet?
>> Chelsea: No, he's meeting me back here once the rink session
ends.
>> Adam: Ah.
>> Chelsea: You want to wait with me?
>> Adam: Thank you.
>> Chelsea: How's work?
>> Adam: Hmm?
Excuse me?
>> Chelsea: I didn't mean to pry.
>> Adam: Uh, work is work.
It's -- It's -- It's fine.
>> Chelsea: Are you okay?
You seem a little tense.
>> Adam: Turns out dear old Dad is up to his usual treachery
again.
So I'm gonna have to watch my back at Jabot.
>> Chelsea: I'm sorry to hear that.
>> Adam: Yeah.
Except for Jack, none of the Abbotts want me there.
I mean, that is so typical for Victor to try to sabotage me.
>> Chelsea: And let me guess.
Victor now wants to punish you for turning your back on the
family and going to work for "the enemy."
>> Adam: Oh, well, according to Nick, he's doing it to save me.
>> Victor: Oh, my goodness.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ] >> Victor: My sweet
granddaughter.
>> Summer: Hi, Grandpa.
>> Victor: How are you, my darling?
>> Summer: I'm doing just fine.
How are you?
>> Victor: I'm doing well.
>> Summer: Good.
>> Victor: Yeah.
Been a while since you and I have talked.
How's Harrison?
>> Summer: Ah, he is a constant bright spot, even when things
get challenging.
>> Victor: Mm.
I think I know what you're alluding to.
>> Summer: Do you?
>> Victor: Diane Jenkins?
Yep.
Stunning how that woman was able to insinuate herself into our
lives here in Genoa City after all that she has done before,
not only to Jack and Kyle's lives, but considering what she
has done in this town.
My goodness.
Anyway...
>> Summer: She's entrenched, alright.
>> Victor: Yeah, and I understand that Jack is doing
all kinds of things for her, cleaning up her messes all
over the place.
>> Summer: There's not much I can do about that.
Not that I have to like it.
>> Victor: No, but it's complicated for you, isn't it?
Considering how much your mother loathes Diane Jenkins.
>> Summer: You want to know what's even more frustrating?
>> Victor: Hmm?
>> Summer: It's all of these plots and schemes that are
constantly going on in both of our families.
I mean, honestly, Machiavelli had nothing on the Newmans or
the Abbotts.
>> Victor: Machiavelli?
That's a Renaissance man who wrote a book called "The Prince"
about how to rule people.
You know?
I mean, very flattering to be brought up in the same sentence
with Machiavelli, but I think it's exaggerated, right?
>> Summer: I don't think so.
>> Victor: You don't?
>> Summer: I've been working really hard to convince Kyle
that we just need to avoid all the intrigue that is swirling
around us, including yours, Grandpa.
>> Victor: Hmm.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> Diane: Oh! Hello, Nikki.
You're looking well.
>> Nikki: Save it.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] Excuse me?
>> Nikki: Don't waste your breath with friendly chitchat.
We are not friends, and we never will be.
Could I have some water, please?
>> Diane: Alright.
>> Nikki: I know that you and Jack were behind the break-in at
our apartment in Chicago.
You stole my necklace and framed Jeremy Stark for it.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] What a bizarre accusation.
Do you have any evidence to back it up?
[ Elevator doors opening ] >> Jack: Kyle.
You got a minute?
>> Kyle: Sure.
I assume this is about what we discussed before, you and Mom
and where that's headed?
I just had a long talk with her.
>> Jack: No, it's another subject entirely.
I heard a rather disturbing rumor I'm hoping you can dispel.
>> Kyle: What rumor's that?
>> Jack: Victor is plotting against Adam, trying to
undermine his work here, and you're helping him to implement
it.
>> Kyle: Where is this coming from?
>> Jack: It doesn't matter.
Just tell me it isn't true.
>> Kyle: Victor did approach me, but I haven't committed to
anything specific.
>> Jack: Then you have considered it.
Look, I know you had misgivings about my hiring Adam to pick up
the slack here when you moved over to Marchetti, but --
>> Kyle: Look, you're the guy's only real friend, which should
tell you something, but that's your call.
However, when you make him co-CEO of the family company,
I get to have an opinion.
>> Jack: You think Adam is trying to take over Jabot?
>> Kyle: No, no, no.
I don't know what his motives are, but I can tell you what
he's done since he's been here.
Not much.
The guy is coasting, Dad, calling it in from the bar at
Society most days and drawing a big, fat paycheck with primo
perks while he sorts out that mess he calls a life.
Am I wrong?
How would you rate his job performance?
>> Jack: I have gone over status reports on the different
divisions that Adam oversees.
I have spoken to division managers.
>> Kyle: Just like I have.
And?
[ Folder thuds ] >> Jack: And you are right.
While he started strong, he has been slipping lately.
>> Kyle: More like M.I.A.
Totally dropping the ball.
It's pretty unacceptable from a guy at his --
>> Jack: That is still something for Adam and I to work through.
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: Not you, not anyone
else.
Victor certainly doesn't have a place in this conversation.
Frankly, neither do you.
>> Victor: So, my beautiful granddaughter, what's on your
mind?
>> Summer: There's no point in talking around this, so I'm just
gonna come right out and say it.
>> Victor: Okay.
>> Summer: Please stop trying to get Kyle to help you with your
plan to punish Adam.
>> Victor: You seem upset.
>> Summer: I am upset.
Things with Kyle were going great.
We were running Marchetti.
We were raising Harrison.
It was total bliss.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, the last thing I want to do is disturb
that bliss.
>> Summer: The thing is, Grandpa, is people in both of
our families are involved in all of these secret maneuvers.
It's causing a lot of friction in our family.
>> Victor: So, where's all this coming from?
>> Summer: [ Sighs ] Grandpa, my husband and I don't
keep things from each other.
>> Victor: Mm.
>> Summer: Kyle told me that you were looking for a way to push
Adam out of Jabot and that you offered up some textile mills in
exchange for his assistance.
I mean, Kyle doesn't love having Adam in the mix over there, but
thankfully he turned you down.
He told me that he didn't want any part of it.
So, what I'm asking you is to please stop asking him about it
because he is not gonna change his mind.
>> Victor: Tell me something, sweetheart.
Do you, um, think Adam is where he belongs?
>> Adam: Victor's plan du jour is to get me fired from Jabot,
after which he'll dangle some irresistible position at Newman,
and then he will follow it up with a hearty welcome home.
I mean, only -- only Victor Newman would view trying
to tank my career as an act of paternal affection.
>> Chelsea: Is he succeeding?
Is your job in jeopardy?
>> Adam: No, not yet.
I mean, at least not that I know of.
Do you wanna hear what the punch line is?
I'm...not happy at Jabot.
>> Chelsea: Really? Why?
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] I don't fit in there.
As much as I try to, I just -- I don't connect to the work or
the products that we sell there or the people...
>> Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] >> Adam: ...that I supervise.
>> Chelsea: That's frustrating.
>> Adam: Yeah.
As much as I hate to admit it and as much as my father's
methods are infuriating and wildly inappropriate...
his instincts are dead on.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] >> Nikki: You know, there have
been such incredible advances in security technology -- cameras
so small they can be hidden anywhere.
And the image quality?
Ooh, so sharp.
>> Diane: I saw your reaction when it occurred to you that
Jack might have let himself into your apartment and maybe
borrowed your necklace.
And for a second, I thought you were going to suggest it to
Chance, but you didn't.
So I suspect that if you did have proof and you wanted to use
it, you would have done so by now.
>> Nikki: Keep telling yourself that.
>> Diane: Mm-hmm, yeah.
And as much as you hate me, I really don't believe you'd put
Jack in that position just to get back at me.
Besides, I also think you're glad Jeremy's gone, however it
happened, because your family was in danger, just like mine,
thanks to Phyllis and her recklessness.
>> Nikki: You seem quite confident that you've gotten
away with another crime, as if everything is working out just
as you planned.
But you and I both know that's an act because deep down, even
you don't believe it.
>> Kyle: I haven't done a thing to Adam.
I haven't needed to.
He has done a great job sabotaging himself.
>> Jack: I understand why you might think that you, but --
>> Kyle: Dad, you went so far out on a limb for that guy,
knowing there wasn't a single person in our family who would
support him being co-CEO.
You risked alienating everyone because you believed so strongly
in Adam.
He claimed he wanted to redeem himself, he want to turn his
life around, like he always does.
And this is how he repays you, doing mediocre work and dragging
the company down?
>> Jack: You can't say he's dragging Jabot down --
>> Kyle: No, this isn't about whether Victor has a plan to
undermine Adam or not.
Who cares?
The point is, he doesn't deserve the position of authority you
gave him.
He shouldn't be at Jabot, full stop.
Hell, the guy doesn't even want to be here.
So, what is this about, Dad?
Why not cut him loose and call it a day?
>> Chelsea: This is the first time I'm hearing you're
dissatisfied working at Jabot.
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ] Well, it's the first time that I'm
admitting it out loud.
I mean, you know -- I left Newman because I was fed up with
being disrespected, being strung along, being told that I'm
valued but never being part of the inner circle.
I mean, Victoria has never missed a chance to remind me
of that.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, but Jack is finally giving you the status,
the respect that you deserve, along with trust and
responsibility.
Why isn't that enough for you?
>> Adam: That is a great question.
And Jack's a true friend.
He handed me a terrific opportunity.
Trust me -- I know how selfish and ungrateful I sound right
now.
>> Chelsea: I'm not judging you.
I'm just wondering what's going on with you.
>> Adam: Yeah. Well, me too.
>> Chelsea: You know, when I was doing two fashion jobs at once
and I wasn't feeling passionate about either one of them, you
gave me some good advice.
You told me to step back instead of burning myself out, even
though I didn't want to listen to you.
>> Adam: Well, the last thing I think I am is overworked.
To be honest with you, I've been slacking big time.
>> Chelsea: Well, that's not like you.
>> Adam: Yeah.
Well, maybe when I'm not up to something devious or trying to
prove myself to someone who doubts me, I lose motivation.
>> Chelsea: Hmm.
Well, maybe you need to make some enemies around the office.
>> Adam: I think besides Jack, nobody wanted me to work there,
so I don't think that's the issue.
I have plenty of haters.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
>> Chelsea: You know, another upside to working at Jabot --
you're free from all that Newman drama, which is something you've
said you've always wanted.
>> Adam: Yeah.
That is a good point.
>> Chelsea: However, on the other hand, Jabot is a different
kind of company than you're used to working at, for sure.
It's a lot more laid-back, narrowly focused on cosmetics,
definitely, you know, not as much of a challenge to run.
>> Adam: Well, I'm certainly not in any danger of running Newman
ever again.
>> Chelsea: If Victor made you a great offer -- I mean a great
offer -- where you could thrive, show off your talents, finally
get the respect you deserve, you're telling me you wouldn't
do it?
>> Adam: I can't imagine a scenario where I would be
tempted to go back to Newman.
Last time I was there, they treated me like crap.
"You're CEO. Now you're not."
And like you said, I have no desire to get sucked into their
constant drama.
>> Chelsea: Well, that's not really an answer.
Just because you can't imagine a scenario doesn't mean it
couldn't exist.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, you got me there.
>> Chelsea: And you admitted yourself you don't think that
Victor is trying to punish you with this little scheme of his.
So, then why go to all the trouble?
Do you think maybe, just maybe, deep down, he believes that you
belong in his family, that you belong to be a part of this big
Newman empire, and maybe, in your heart of hearts, that's
what you want, too?
>> Adam: He might believe that.
I guarantee you none of the rest of them care what I want.
>> Chelsea: That might be true.
But Victor is the only one who matters.
Hi!
>> Billy: Hey.
Connor, it's your fan club.
>> Connor: Where?
>> Chelsea: No, he means us, silly.
How was skating?
>> Connor: Totally great.
>> Johnny: Except for all the times Dad fell on his butt.
>> Billy: Alright, I was little rusty.
>> Connor: I thought you were Billy.
>> Johnny: Good one.
>> Billy: Alright, who wants hot chocolate?
>> Johnny: Ooh, I do!
>> Connor: Me!
>> Billy: Okay, good.
So, go order whatever you want.
Grab me a small coffee, please.
Anybody else want anything?
>> Chelsea: I'm good, thanks.
>> Johnny: I thought you were Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Ohh!
>> Connor: You stole my joke.
>> Johnny: No, I didn't.
>> Connor: Yeah, you did.
>> Johnny: It had to be funny to be a joke.
>> Connor: Ha ha.
>> Billy: Okay.
>> Summer: Only Jack and Adam can answer that question.
>> Victor: I want to hear it from you.
You think that Adam deserves to be co-CEO at Jabot?
>> Summer: I think...
I think it's problematic.
I mean, not everyone is a fan of his, and, honestly, I don't
really know why Jack ever made that choice.
And I don't see how it ends well for anyone.
>> Victor: So, you don't think Adam has changed?
>> Summer: Is that a serious question?
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
You know, your father thinks that he deserves more of a
chance.
>> Summer: Well, that's because Adam gave Faith a kidney.
And even that wasn't enough to keep up the goodwill.
I think my dad has realized with the rest of us always have
known -- that these flashes of humanity, they never last.
Whenever Adam does something good or heroic, it's always
calculated.
It's transactional.
It's because he wants something in return.
>> Victor: A lot of truth to what you say.
But Adam is my son.
>> Summer: Well, you know what, Grandpa?
It's not even really about what my dad thinks or my opinion or
even what Adam does.
This is about you trying to convince Kyle to facilitate
Adam's return to Newman, which could cause a huge conflict
between him and Jack.
And that's the last thing my husband needs.
>> Victor: My darling, I appreciate your honesty, okay?
And I will give what you said a lot of thought.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ] The last thing I want to do is
be upset with you, Grandpa.
>> Victor: You know that I adore you, okay?
>> Summer: [ Chuckles ] >> Jack: You criticize Adam all
you want.
His role at Jabot is not up for debate.
He answers to me, not you, not Victor.
And his work does not affect you or Marchetti.
>> Kyle: Dad, listen to me -- >> Jack: I've listened to you!
Now you listen to me.
I stand by my decision to hire Adam, and I will address his
performance the same way I do any valued executive in this
company.
What I won't do is fire him to please Victor or to satisfy you.
I am delighted that you are not involved in Victor's
manipulations, but I will speak to him very soon.
>> Kyle: No, I really -- >> Jack: No, I think I'm done on
this particular subject.
I'd like to change the subject.
There's something else I'd like to talk to you about.
>> Kyle: What's that?
>> Jack: You said you had a conversation with your mother.
How did that go?
Did you find it reassuring, her devotion, her commitment to
you and the family, despite anything that might happen
between the two of us?
>> Kyle: I'm trying to be open to this, Dad, for your sake.
I want you to be happy, both you and Mom.
But...
Look, just be careful, alright?
Protect yourself.
>> Jack: What in particular is prompting that warning?
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Johnny: The best part -- there was a hockey game on the
second rink and Connor played it.
>> Chelsea: You did?
Like a pickup game?
>> Connor: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: Ah.
>> Adam: Well, how was it?
>> Connor: Epic.
I wish you guys would have come.
>> Chelsea: If I got back on skates right now, I would end up
entirely black and blue.
>> Johnny: [ Gasps ] You two could have matching bruises.
>> Billy: Oh, come on.
I did not fall that often.
>> Johnny: He's getting old.
It happens.
>> Connor: [ Laughs ] >> Billy: You know what?
You're -- You're -- You're now grounded.
>> Johnny: Oh, just like you were when you hit that ice and
just absolutely sprawled out?
>> Billy: Alright, already!
Enough is enough.
>> Connor: I think the grown-ups are better off sitting on the
benches and talking about old movies or whatever, like they
always do.
>> Chelsea: Well, that sounds about right.
That's pretty much our speed.
Yeah.
>> Connor: [ Laughs ] >> Billy: Cheers to old people.
>> Chelsea: Cheers to old people.
[ Laughs ] >> Kyle: On the whole, it was a
good talk.
I felt like we were both being honest, and I got a lot off my
chest.
>> Jack: Good.
I'm glad to hear that.
>> Kyle: Mom was adamant there would be no more surprises from
her past.
>> Jack: That's a good thing.
Or you doubt that?
>> Kyle: I don't want to see you get hurt again.
You've had your heart broken enough.
I told her that.
>> Jack: And you think that's inevitable?
>> Kyle: I hope not.
God knows we've all been through enough trauma, but, Dad, she has
a history of making promises she can't keep.
Then we get surprised by people like Jeremy Stark.
>> Jack: He is no longer a threat.
>> Kyle: You took a big risk handling that.
I appreciate it, and I know mom does, too.
Although I'm still upset you handled it on your own and
wouldn't let me in.
>> Jack: You know what?
That's over.
It's taken care of.
>> Kyle: This time.
>> Jack: There will not be a next time, not if I have
anything to say about it.
>> Kyle: And to answer your question...
I am cautiously optimistic.
>> Jack: Good.
Kyle, I am taking this next step with my eyes wide open.
I hope you can see the positive aspects in all of this.
I am happy.
Diane is happy.
>> Kyle: That counts for a lot, Dad.
>> Jack: Your parents have worked through the trauma of the
past and are looking to a bright new future together.
That is a very good thing.
>> Diane: I'm feeling optimistic about the future.
Very optimistic.
>> Nikki: Well, you have nothing to fear from me.
I'm not going to inject myself into the police investigation.
And you're right.
Jeremy Stark should never have been lured to town.
It's just as well for everybody that he has been arrested.
>> Diane: Oh.
So, you're acknowledging that I was right.
That's a first.
>> Nikki: Don't get too excited.
It's merely another case of you using deception to get what you
want, making Jack do your dirty work.
>> Diane: Mm.
Hypothetically speaking, if Jack had stolen your necklace, it
would be because he wouldn't let me take that risk.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm sure he enjoyed playing the hero.
And given your optimism, perhaps this little brush with danger
brought the two of you even closer.
All that heightened emotion.
Tell me -- have you moved in with Jack yet?
Ah, not yet.
Mustn't appear too eager.
But I'm sure you will make him think it's his idea and he'll
jump into it with such enthusiasm and hope -- because
that's the kind of person he is.
But you have to know how ugly things will turn out because
that's just the natural course of things where you are
concerned and that's the kind of person you are.
>> Diane: You know, you're behind the times, Nikki.
I haven't moved in, but Jack and I are back together already.
>> Nikki: Ugh.
That's unfortunate.
He's such a smart man, except when it comes to you.
>> Diane: No, he's wise not to let other people's opinions keep
him from being happy.
>> Nikki: I guess Jeremy Stark's sojourn to Genoa City worked out
well for you.
It gave you the opportunity to play the damsel in distress,
which a man as chivalrous as Jack will find very appealing.
You really should be grateful to Phyllis.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] I'll be sure and send her a thank-you
card.
>> Nikki: I wouldn't.
Phyllis is all about the long game.
So she will hold on to it and then throw it in your face when
things inevitably fall apart.
>> Diane: Things won't.
What Jack and I have is exciting and intense, but there's also
comfort and security in our history and the family we share.
It's real and it's happening and it's going to last a long, long
time.
And there's nothing that you or Ashley or Phyllis can do to stop
it.
You see, Nikki, that's the natural course of things.
So you better get used to it and leave us alone.
[ Keys jangling ] >> Jack: [ Sighs ]
[ Keys clatter ] >> Diane: Jack, I want you to
know that I would never do anything to drive you away
again.
>> Jack: Oh, God -- >> Diane: No, after everything
I've been through and -- and all those years, I -- I know what
it's like to lose you.
And Kyle.
To be alone.
And I will -- I will never put myself at risk for that again.
[ Doorbell rings ]
>> Jack: Chance. Hi. Uh, this is a surprise.
What brings you by?
>> Chance: I am here on official police business.
>> Jack: I'm not sure what this is about, but I'm always happy
to help the GCPD.
>> Chance: Actually, I'm here on behalf of the
Chicago Police Department.
Apparently this belongs to you.
>> Jack: Yeah, that looks familiar.
>> Chance: We found it when we did a more thorough search of
Mr. Stark's suite.
There's $500,000 in there.
Mr. Stark's claiming that you loaned it to him.
>> Jack: Yeah, that's right.
>> Chance: Well, since there's no evidence that links this to
the crime, it's been released from police custody.
So I guess you can consider your loan paid in full, assuming this
is it.
>> Jack: Yeah, yeah, it certainly appears to be.
>> Chance: You want to know what I find really interesting, Jack?
That day I arrested Stark, you and Diane showed up, and you
claimed you were there to discuss the money that Diane
owed Stark.
Yet you just handed him this great deal of cash.
So, why was it still an issue?
>> Jack: Stark claimed that Diane would never be in the
clear until she paid him back herself.
>> Chance: Really?
Then why did he take your money?
>> Jack: Well, I can't begin to tell you how a criminal's mind
works, but I-I assume he...
Just the fact that he didn't spend the money means he meant
what he said.
>> Chance: I'm surprised he didn't want to hold on to it,
pay his lawyers.
I mean, he's looking at a pretty expensive trial, Jack.
>> Jack: Well, I'm sure it looks pretty bad when a convicted
money launderer has this kind of cash on hand.
I'm sure he wanted to make it clear that he obtained it
legally.
But, I mean, that's just a guess.
>> Chance: Why didn't you mention this to me that day at
the hotel, Jack?
>> Jack: It didn't seem relevant.
I had no idea it was still in the suite.
I assumed he'd put it in a bank somewhere.
>> Chance: Right.
Well, this certainly has worked out for you, hasn't it?
Stark's locked up, and you don't lose a dime.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that's, uh, pretty
convenient.
Have a good night, Jack.
>> Jack: Take care, Chance.
[ Door closes ] Wow.
>> Chelsea: Well, I'm glad you boys would have been willing to
include me in all of your fun, but I actually had a bunch of
things that I needed to accomplish today.
>> Billy: Checking things off the list -- nothing more
satisfying than that.
Watch out, DMV.
Here comes Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: That's right.
I got this guy some extra school supplies, picked up some
groceries -- popcorn, of course, Ultimate Cheddar.
>> Billy: Thank you.
My favorite.
>> Johnny: Well, while you guys were doing old-people things,
Connor was crushing it in the hockey game.
He out-skated me, plus a ton of older guys.
They were all like, "Who is this kid?"
>> Chelsea: Hey!
>> Connor: It was cool.
>> Adam: Well, I would like to come see you next time,
see you in action.
But right now, uh, we should be heading home.
>> Connor: Okay.
Thanks for taking us.
>> Billy: Anytime.
It was my pleasure.
Uh, you ready to go?
Why don't you make sure you got everything?
I'm gonna drop you off at your mom's.
Are we, uh, still on for later?
You want to try and grab something to eat?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
I'm looking forward to it.
>> Billy: Okay, great.
You ready?
>> Johnny: Yeah.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] Whoa. What a day.
>> Jack: Hey.
Come here.
>> Diane: Aww.
Mm.
>> Jack: You just missed Chance.
>> Diane: Was he here on police business?
>> Jack: Yes, but in a nice way.
The good detective was here to make a delivery -- the
half-million dollars I gave to Stark.
>> Diane: You got it back?
>> Jack: Yep.
It was confiscated when he was arrested.
All the money was inside a briefcase with my initials on
it.
Stark claimed I had loaned him the money, and I hadn't reported
any stolen money, so the good folks at the
Chicago Police Department released it to me.
It is in the safe right now.
>> Diane: Oh, that is so good to hear.
I felt so guilty knowing that you handed all that money to
Jeremy just to get him to leave me alone.
>> Jack: A small price to pay for your safety.
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ] >> Jack: Though we now know he
was after more than just money.
But we managed to turn the tables on him, working together.
>> Diane: Yeah.
>> Jack: Hey. What's wrong?
>> Diane: Uh, I ran into Nikki at the hotel.
>> Jack: Well, that couldn't have been fun.
>> Diane: No, and she is certain that we orchestrated Jeremy's
arrest by stealing her necklace.
>> Jack: Did she threaten you?
Did she have any proof?
>> Diane: No, no.
She tried to make me think she did.
She was trying to make me nervous, but I called her bluff.
I said that even if she did have proof, that she wouldn't use it
in that way because she knows that it would hurt you just to
get back at me.
>> Jack: Good for you.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but, uh -- but then I probably said
more than I should have.
>> Diane: I can't guarantee what the future holds for me and
Jack, but I can promise you that whatever happens, I will never
abandon you again.
[ Footsteps approaching ] [ Knock on door ]
>> Kyle: Hey.
>> Summer: Hi.
[ Both breathe deeply ] >> Kyle: Hello to you, too.
>> Summer: Thank you.
I needed that.
>> Kyle: Well, you don't hear me complaining.
>> Summer: How's your day going?
>> Kyle: Oof.
Turns out running a global fashion house is easier than
managing my family.
>> Summer: Mm.
Dealing with bad stuff can be a challenge.
>> Kyle: Yeah, my parents are moving so fast, and they think I
ought to be thrilled for them.
>> Summer: And you're not there yet.
I get it. Neither am I.
>> Kyle: Don't get me wrong.
I want things to work out for them.
>> Summer: But like we discussed earlier, it affects us and
Harrison.
>> Kyle: Especially considering the blowback it'll have on my
dad.
A lot of people are gonna hate he's getting involved with my
mom.
>> Summer: Yeah, like my mom and Ashley, Nikki.
>> Kyle: On top of that, someone told him Victor is planning to
get Adam out of Jabot with my help.
>> Summer: How did Jack react?
>> Kyle: He was relieved when I told him I wasn't participating.
>> Summer: Okay, see?
Aren't you glad that you listened to me?
I mean, my grandpa may have convinced himself that what he's
doing is in Adam's best interests, but it has the
potential to cause a huge conflict between you and your
dad.
>> Kyle: Mm. To say the least.
>> Summer: I actually just ran into my grandpa.
>> Kyle: Yeah?
>> Summer: Yeah.
I told him to stop trying to pressure you into going along
with his plan -- since you're staying out of it.
Y-You are, right?
[ Knock on door ] >> Adam: I was looking for Jack.
>> Kyle: He's not here, as you can see.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Uh-huh.
I gather you know what your husband's up to?
>> Nikki: It's bad enough that Diane is gonna get away with
yet another caper.
But now she's glommed on to Jack, bragging about how close
they've become.
It makes me sick.
>> Victor: They deserve each other.
Let that be their punishment.
>> Nikki: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: What exactly did you
say to Nikki that you wish you hadn't?
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] I swear she was channeling Phyllis.
She was trying to push all my buttons.
You know, basically, Nikki told me that my life is destined to
go down in flames.
>> Jack: I'm sorry she put you through that.
>> Diane: Yeah, I couldn't stand that smug, condescending look on
her face, so I said, "Actually, no, my life is fabulous," which
it is.
I told her that you and I were in a good place and that she
needed to get used to seeing us together again.
But maybe I shouldn't have been so...
>> Jack: What? Provocative?
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ] >> Jack: Why not?
You were telling the truth.
We have nothing to hide.
>> Diane: I can't tell you how much I love hearing you say
that, how good it makes me feel.
But you know it's just a matter of time before people start
seeing us together again.
Are you sure you're ready for that?
>> Jack: Bring it on.
>> Diane: [ Laughs ] >> Jack: I am very happy right
now.
Nothing is going to take that away from me.
>> Diane: Mm.
>> Adam: I assume that, Kyle, given the kind of man you are,
you share everything with your wife.
Surely you know that he's been working with Victor to get me
exiled from Jabot.
Yeah, I'm just -- I'm surprised that you would do something so
underhanded, knowing how royally it's gonna piss off Jack, and
that you would go along with it.
>> Summer: Adam, whatever you think is going on, Kyle has no
part in it, and neither do I.
And I don't like the accusations you're throwing around.
>> Adam: It really means that much to you to have me gone?
>> Kyle: Why don't you just admit you really don't even want
to be here?
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] [ Chuckles ]
>> Billy: [ Sighs ] >> Chelsea: Hey.
>> Billy: Hi. You look great.
>> Chelsea: Oh, thanks.
So do you.
I spent an inordinate amount of time deciding what to wear,
which sounds ridiculous, but...
Yeah. You know.
Going out with a friend like this is a big deal for me at the
moment, so...
>> Billy: Well, if it ever gets too much, you just say the word,
okay?
This is supposed to be fun and relaxing.
>> Chelsea: Fun. Right.
I vaguely remember what that looks like.
>> Billy: Oh, I trust you'll get it back.
>> Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] You know, I -- I would never
attempt this with anybody else.
No pressure.
>> Billy: Look, I am honored that you feel comfortable enough
to go to dinner with me.
So...shall we?
