They would be a huge client.

I mean, they have tons of
offices and restaurants and

00:03:34,747 --> 00:03:37,884
hotels, all kinds of properties
that could use interior design.
90
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,353
And I really actually want to
tour some of them so I could

start to have an idea about,
like, the function, the colors,
92
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:44,090
the textures.

specific recommendations we can

absolutely nothing to do with

Newman, so we're not entitled to
the Newman perks, and that

I would like to buy you a house.

time is gonna start flying by
before you know it.

I mean, doesn't it make sense to
find a house and move in and get
162
00:06:39,132 --> 00:06:40,433
ready before the baby arrives?
163
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,335

I know your folks moved around a
lot when you were a kid and they

never gave you a place to call
home.

you can have a nursery to read

bedtime stories.
171
00:06:57,049 --> 00:07:01,454
You can have a yard to play in,
a wall with pictures and happy

00:07:15,234 --> 00:07:16,836
Oh, my God.
177
00:07:16,903 --> 00:07:19,639
I had no idea.
178
00:07:19,705 --> 00:07:24,410
>> Summer: Yes, Sally is having
a baby, but it's not Dad's.
179
00:07:24,477 --> 00:07:25,344
It's Adam's.
180
00:07:25,411 --> 00:07:27,146
>> Nikki: [ Gasps ] Hallelujah!
181
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:28,281
No.
182
00:07:28,347 --> 00:07:30,550
No, no, this is still a mess.
183
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:33,753
>> Summer: It's what she does
best.
184
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:36,856
>> Nikki: I have seen Nicholas
almost every day at the office,
185
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:39,125
and he hasn't said anything.
186
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:40,660
And I'll bet Victor doesn't
know.
187
00:07:40,726 --> 00:07:41,794
He would have said something.
188
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:43,563
>> Summer: Um, here's the thing,
Grandma.
189
00:07:43,629 --> 00:07:46,632
I know that it's a lot to ask,
but could you please not tell
190
00:07:46,699 --> 00:07:47,967
Grandpa about this?
191
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:51,938
At least, until Dad or Adam gets
a chance to tell him.
192
00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:54,207
>> Nikki: That he's having
another grandchild?
193
00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:55,641
I-I don't know.
194
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,945
I mean, for me to know and not
tell him...
195
00:07:59,011 --> 00:07:59,478
>> Summer: I know.
196
00:07:59,545 --> 00:08:00,680
I know. I know.
197
00:08:00,746 --> 00:08:03,082
It was really unfair for me to
dump all of this on you, but I
198
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,751
just -- I needed to talk to
somebody who would be just as
199
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:09,989
horrified as I am, but the thing
is, if Grandpa confronts Dad
200
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:12,325
about this before he's ready,
it's gonna cause this huge
201
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:13,259
conflict.
202
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:16,262
And nobody wants that, right?
203
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:17,496
>> Nikki: Wow.
204
00:08:17,563 --> 00:08:20,900
As rationalizations go,
that's -- that's a bit of a
205
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:23,569
stretch, Summer.
206
00:08:23,636 --> 00:08:26,806
But...alright.
207
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:28,808
For the sake of the baby.
208
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:31,711
It's not healthy to have stress
during pregnancy.
209
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:33,779
>> Summer: Thank you.
210
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:37,450
>> Nikki: I wish that Nicholas
would tell Victor already, but
211
00:08:37,516 --> 00:08:40,319
he's probably too embarrassed
and upset, doesn't want to talk
212
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:41,254
about it.
213
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,723
>> Summer: This is the thing,
Grandma.
214
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:46,359
He's not wallowing in self-pity.
215
00:08:46,425 --> 00:08:49,195
Dad is actually still seeing
Sally.
216
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:50,429
>> Nikki: They're not breaking
up?
217
00:08:50,496 --> 00:08:53,032
>> Summer: [ Exhales sharply ]
I guess this thing with Adam
218
00:08:53,099 --> 00:08:56,936
was a one-time occasion and
Sally doesn't have any desire to
219
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:57,904
get back together with him.
220
00:08:57,970 --> 00:08:59,338
>> Nikki: Oh, no, sure.
221
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:00,172
Why should she?
222
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:01,440
She can have Nicholas.
223
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:04,777
>> Summer: I actually think that
I'm the most upset about all of
224
00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:05,478
this.
225
00:09:05,544 --> 00:09:08,748
And I kind of blew up at Sally.
226
00:09:08,814 --> 00:09:11,884
I told her how selfish I thought
she was being and how she's
227
00:09:11,951 --> 00:09:13,152
using my dad.
228
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,289
And then Dad came over and told
me how wrong I was and how this
229
00:09:16,355 --> 00:09:19,025
hasn't changed his feelings for
Sally at all.
230
00:09:19,091 --> 00:09:21,460
>> Nikki: Unbelievable.
231
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:23,729
He is too noble for his own
good.
232
00:09:23,796 --> 00:09:24,864
>> Summer: I know, right?
233
00:09:24,931 --> 00:09:28,467
It's like he can't see what's
going on, and it kills me.
234
00:09:28,534 --> 00:09:29,302
>> Nikki: Trust me.
235
00:09:29,368 --> 00:09:32,171
I know exactly how you feel.
236
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:34,874
>> Summer: I wish that this
could all work out for Dad.
237
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:37,710
I really do
But when I play it out in my
238
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:40,313
head, there's really only one
word that could sum it up.
239
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:42,214
>> Nikki: "Disaster."
240
00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:45,251
I mean, how can he think that
they can stay together when she
241
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:47,753
is having his brother's child?
242
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:52,558
And I can only imagine what Adam
thinks about all of this.
243
00:09:52,625 --> 00:09:57,263
[ Sighs ]
If only there were a way that
244
00:09:57,330 --> 00:10:02,268
Nicholas could walk away now,
before it gets more complicated.
245
00:10:02,335 --> 00:10:04,503
>> Summer: Maybe there is.
246
00:10:12,178 --> 00:10:15,681
>> Nikki: I would dearly love to
get Nicholas out of this, but I
247
00:10:15,748 --> 00:10:18,751
worry that any kind of maneuver
would backfire.
248
00:10:18,818 --> 00:10:21,454
I mean, in the past, whenever I
told him I had issues with the
249
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,991
woman in his life, he just digs
in his heels.
250
00:10:25,057 --> 00:10:29,328
I mean, if he feels so strongly
about Sally, in spite of this
251
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:33,399
situation, I think it's gonna
be very hard to change his mind.
252
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,867
>> Summer: I agree.
253
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:38,337
But what if something in their
relationship were to drastically
254
00:10:38,404 --> 00:10:42,108
change and he realized that it
would be better to end it sooner
255
00:10:42,174 --> 00:10:43,175
rather than later?
256
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:46,045
>> Nikki: Change how?
257
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:50,116
>> Summer: Like if Sally fell
back in love with Adam.
258
00:10:50,182 --> 00:10:53,152
>> Nikki: Okay. And then what?
259
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:56,222
>> Summer: Sally was heartbroken
when Adam dumped her.
260
00:10:56,288 --> 00:10:59,091
I mean, that's the reason why
she glommed on to Dad in the
261
00:10:59,158 --> 00:10:59,992
first place.
262
00:11:00,059 --> 00:11:02,294
And we all know that Adam's not
over her.
263
00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:06,866
So, maybe deep down, she still
cares for him, too.
264
00:11:06,932 --> 00:11:08,134
>> Nikki: I wouldn't doubt that.
265
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,337
>> Summer: So, if I could pull
this off, it would be sort of a
266
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:14,140
service to two people who belong
together.
267
00:11:14,206 --> 00:11:15,174
>> Nikki: Oh, my God, yes.
268
00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:17,276
I mean, that would be ideal.
269
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:21,547
But there are two obstacles that
you need to consider.
270
00:11:21,614 --> 00:11:23,582
>> Summer: What are they?
271
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:26,719
>> Nikki: Whatever lingering
feelings Sally may have for
272
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:30,456
Adam, she has decided to keep
him at arm's length.
273
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:34,060
So that tells me that her walls
are up pretty high.
274
00:11:34,126 --> 00:11:35,761
>> Summer: Walls can be climbed.
275
00:11:35,828 --> 00:11:39,598
You just have to have the right
tools and motivation.
276
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:41,867
What's the other one?
277
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:45,771
>> Nikki: No one is more
charming than your father when
278
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:48,741
he is infatuated with someone.
279
00:11:48,808 --> 00:11:53,913
So it's unlikely that Adam would
be able to win her heart without
280
00:11:53,979 --> 00:11:59,218
a lot of help and a whole lot of
luck.
281
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:06,192
>> Sally: Adam, your offer is
very generous, but...
282
00:12:06,258 --> 00:12:10,296
I'm -- I'm gonna have to say no.
283
00:12:10,362 --> 00:12:12,598
>> Adam: Well, I'm sorry to hear
that.
284
00:12:12,665 --> 00:12:14,567
>> Nick: This is what she was
worried about, you overstepping.
285
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:16,969
>> Adam: Uh, no, I was just
trying to provide for my child
286
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:18,370
and his or her mother.
287
00:12:18,437 --> 00:12:19,839
It's what any decent person
would do.
288
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:20,973
>> Sally: Okay, you know what?
289
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,308
You actually are both just
thinking a little bit too big
290
00:12:22,374 --> 00:12:25,845
today, too grandiose, and worse
yet, you're actually thinking
291
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:26,745
for me.
292
00:12:26,812 --> 00:12:27,980
>> Nick: No, no, no, Sally,
that's not --
293
00:12:28,047 --> 00:12:29,281
>> Sally: No, hey, look, I don't
hold it against you -- really.
294
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:31,484
I know you're both trying to be
supportive, and you're actually
295
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:34,120
being very sweet in your own
way, but I would like to make my
296
00:12:34,186 --> 00:12:39,391
own decisions about how I travel
and where I live and, you know,
297
00:12:39,458 --> 00:12:40,426
everything else in my life.
298
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:43,095
In fact, I actually insist on
it, so...
299
00:12:43,162 --> 00:12:56,342
Anyway, if you guys will excuse
me, I-I really have work to do.
300
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:57,209
>> Chelsea: Lemon?
301
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,277
>> Chloe: Um, no.
302
00:12:58,344 --> 00:12:59,345
>> Chelsea: Sugar?
303
00:12:59,411 --> 00:13:02,081
>> Chloe: I'm good.
304
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:06,485
Though I do appreciate you being
such a gracious host when I
305
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:09,722
clearly interrupted something
when I showed up.
306
00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:12,424
>> Chelsea: What are you talking
about?
307
00:13:12,491 --> 00:13:16,829
>> Chloe: The second I walked
in, I picked up on a very strong
308
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:18,464
vibe.
309
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:19,732
>> Chelsea: A vibe?
310
00:13:19,798 --> 00:13:20,666
>> Chloe: Yeah.
311
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,101
Between you and Billy.
312
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:23,335
You were all flushed.
313
00:13:23,402 --> 00:13:25,504
You've never been a very big
blusher.
314
00:13:25,571 --> 00:13:29,742
>> Chelsea: What? No, that's --
No.
315
00:13:29,808 --> 00:13:31,810
Um, Billy and I were excited
because we were talking about
316
00:13:31,877 --> 00:13:33,779
the new video game idea.
317
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:34,947
>> Chloe: Oh, yeah.
318
00:13:35,014 --> 00:13:36,849
That's what got you all
flustered.
319
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:37,950
>> Chelsea: Chloe!
320
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,351
It's true.
321
00:13:39,418 --> 00:13:41,453
>> Chloe: You can be honest with
me.
322
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,156
There's no judgment.
323
00:13:44,223 --> 00:13:47,226
Is there something going on with
you and Billy?
324
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:53,232
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
I honestly don't know how to
325
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:55,201
define it.
326
00:13:55,267 --> 00:13:59,038
And I don't know if I want to.
327
00:13:59,104 --> 00:14:04,543
There are these feelings that
have been growing between us.
328
00:14:04,610 --> 00:14:06,679
Strong feelings.
329
00:14:06,745 --> 00:14:09,348
[ Sighs ]
And I think it's taken us both
330
00:14:09,415 --> 00:14:12,384
by surprise.
331
00:14:12,451 --> 00:14:12,985
>> Billy: You know what?
332
00:14:13,052 --> 00:14:13,786
Make it a double.
333
00:14:13,852 --> 00:14:15,254
Gonna live life dangerously.
334
00:14:15,321 --> 00:14:17,523
>> Sharon: I've heard that about
you.
335
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:19,758
>> Billy: [ Chuckles ]
My secret's out.
336
00:14:19,825 --> 00:14:22,595
>> Sharon: I noticed that you
came from the direction of
337
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:24,096
Chelsea's place.
338
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:25,130
Is she well?
339
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:26,198
>> Billy: She is.
340
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:28,133
She's very well, actually.
341
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,935
She's working on a new project.
342
00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:31,670
>> Sharon: Oh, really?
343
00:14:31,737 --> 00:14:34,573
>> Billy: Have you heard of, uh,
what Daniel Romalotti's putting
344
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,274
together?
345
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:36,809
>> Sharon: The gaming platform.
346
00:14:36,875 --> 00:14:38,677
Yeah, that sounds really
intriguing.
347
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:39,845
>> Billy: Yeah, it is.
348
00:14:39,912 --> 00:14:42,881
She, uh -- She pitched him an
idea, and he's looking into
349
00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:43,582
developing it.
350
00:14:43,649 --> 00:14:44,717
>> Sharon: Oh, wow!
351
00:14:44,783 --> 00:14:47,052
Well, that sounds wonderful.
352
00:14:47,119 --> 00:14:49,054
I'm sure that'll give her a
boost.
353
00:14:49,121 --> 00:14:51,123
>> Billy: Yeah, definitely.
354
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:52,591
Among other things.
355
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,560
>> Sharon: Yeah? Like what?
356
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,462
The two of you?
357
00:15:02,801 --> 00:15:03,736
>> Summer: Thank you for lunch.
358
00:15:03,802 --> 00:15:05,404
>> Nikki: Oh, you are so
welcome.
359
00:15:05,471 --> 00:15:08,440
>> Sally: Hello.
360
00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:09,508
>> Nikki: Well, Sally.
361
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:10,976
What a coincidence.
362
00:15:11,043 --> 00:15:14,013
Summer was just telling me your
big news.
363
00:15:14,079 --> 00:15:15,080
>> Summer: Oh, but don't worry.
364
00:15:15,147 --> 00:15:17,049
My grandma will keep it in the
circle of trust.
365
00:15:17,116 --> 00:15:18,284
>> Nikki: Oh, yes.
366
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:19,818
For the baby's sake.
367
00:15:19,885 --> 00:15:23,656
Frankly, uh, it was not news
that I expected.
368
00:15:23,722 --> 00:15:24,890
>> Sally: Yeah, I'm sure it
wasn't.
369
00:15:24,957 --> 00:15:28,093
I was caught off guard myself.
370
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,697
>> Nikki: Well, I have so many
things to say, but I would have
371
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:33,132
no idea where to begin.
372
00:15:33,198 --> 00:15:34,066
>> Sally: It's okay.
373
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:36,635
I have a feeling I know what
you're thinking.
374
00:15:36,702 --> 00:15:37,803
>> Nikki: Good.
375
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:40,439
That saves us both some time.
376
00:15:40,506 --> 00:15:42,207
I have to be leaving.
377
00:15:42,274 --> 00:15:43,909
Summer, darling, I will see you
later.
378
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:44,777
>> Summer: Bye, Grandma.
379
00:15:44,843 --> 00:15:46,245
Thank you again for meeting me.
380
00:15:46,312 --> 00:15:50,816
>> Nikki: Of course.
381
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:57,856
>> Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]
>> Summer: Are you, um, on your
382
00:15:57,923 --> 00:15:58,324
own?
383
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,558
>> Sally: Uh, no.
384
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,994
I'm meeting Chloe in a little
bit, but I just thought I'd get
385
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:03,896
some work done.
386
00:16:03,962 --> 00:16:08,400
>> Summer: Well, hey, um, why
don't I stay and you join me?
387
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:10,002
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] Why?
388
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:16,308
So you can go on more about what
a tramp and a chaotic mess I am?
389
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:18,977
>> Summer: So I can apologize.
390
00:16:21,547 --> 00:16:25,084
>> Billy: You know, just to be
clear, I'm not ignoring the
391
00:16:25,150 --> 00:16:28,387
advice you gave me earlier
about, you know, what could be
392
00:16:28,454 --> 00:16:32,458
potentially developing between
Chelsea and me.
393
00:16:32,524 --> 00:16:33,992
I'm on board.
394
00:16:34,059 --> 00:16:37,229
Slow and steady, proceed with
caution, all of that.
395
00:16:37,296 --> 00:16:39,665
And she's, you know, talking to
her therapist throughout this
396
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:41,367
whole time, so she's on top of
it.
397
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:45,237
>> Sharon: Well, I'm relieved to
hear that because Chelsea needs
398
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:50,576
to navigate this very carefully
for herself and for your sake,
399
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:52,411
for Connor and Johnny and Katie.
400
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:53,379
>> Billy: I agree.
401
00:16:53,445 --> 00:16:54,546
We're not an island.
402
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:58,250
And if -- if we take this
relationship to the next level,
403
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:00,219
it's gonna affect the people
we love.
404
00:17:00,285 --> 00:17:02,154
And most importantly, we've got
to make sure that the kids are
405
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:03,722
okay with it.
406
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:06,258
>> Sharon: You know, I didn't
mean to sound negative.
407
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:07,259
>> Billy: No, no, no, no.
408
00:17:07,326 --> 00:17:09,428
I appreciate everything you do
for us -- really.
409
00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:12,431
And I respect your
professionalism.
410
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:15,267
I know you only want what's best
for us.
411
00:17:15,334 --> 00:17:17,403
>> Sharon: I really do.
412
00:17:17,469 --> 00:17:20,472
And my opinion doesn't just come
from my training.
413
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:23,208
I've been in a similar situation
myself.
414
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:26,545
After I had my breakdown,
I clung to Adam.
415
00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:29,715
And what we experienced, the
things that he did for me --
416
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:33,519
it created a very intense bond
between us.
417
00:17:33,585 --> 00:17:36,922
That didn't mean that we were
supposed to be together.
418
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:39,925
But for a while there, the
emotional lines were very
419
00:17:39,992 --> 00:17:42,694
blurred for me and it was hard
to let go of him, even though I
420
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:45,664
knew that was what was best for
both of us.
421
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:49,835
So, the last thing that I would
want to see happen is for
422
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:56,175
Chelsea or you to go through
that kind of pain.
423
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:58,377
>> Chloe: Billy saved your life.
424
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:02,347
And not like "Thanks for the
help, you're a life-saver"
425
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:03,315
kind of way.
426
00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:07,019
I mean -- I mean he actually
saved your life.
427
00:18:07,085 --> 00:18:10,055
So I can understand why the two
of you have developed some
428
00:18:10,122 --> 00:18:11,056
feelings for each other.
429
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:12,090
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
430
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:13,492
And he's been there for me every
single day since.
431
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,061
An incredible source of comfort.
432
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:17,863
But this isn't just gratitude.
433
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:20,299
He -- He makes me hopeful.
434
00:18:20,365 --> 00:18:24,336
He makes me excited about the
future.
435
00:18:24,403 --> 00:18:26,939
And I feel like I can be myself
around him, knowing that
436
00:18:27,005 --> 00:18:29,341
whatever I say, he understands.
437
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:33,545
>> Chloe: Look, I'm really glad
that he can be that person for
438
00:18:33,612 --> 00:18:35,481
you.
439
00:18:35,547 --> 00:18:40,752
I am, but...you know, you and
Billy were together years ago.
440
00:18:40,819 --> 00:18:42,187
>> Chelsea: Mm. We were engaged.
441
00:18:42,254 --> 00:18:45,657
>> Chloe: Yeah, I know, um...
442
00:18:45,724 --> 00:18:49,495
But you were both coming off of
tragedies.
443
00:18:49,561 --> 00:18:53,198
You know, you -- you found each
other.
444
00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:56,835
You found strength in each
other.
445
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:59,905
And things ended badly.
446
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:06,445
And if I could be frank, I think
it's because you didn't love
447
00:19:06,512 --> 00:19:11,016
Billy with your entire heart and
soul.
448
00:19:11,083 --> 00:19:13,118
>> Chelsea: You're right.
449
00:19:13,185 --> 00:19:15,854
Back then, I thought Adam was
the love of my life, and I
450
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:18,524
thought I had lost him forever.
451
00:19:18,590 --> 00:19:21,560
I wasn't over him, not by a long
shot.
452
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:26,865
>> Chloe: So, as incredible as
Billy has been with you, I have
453
00:19:26,932 --> 00:19:34,673
to ask, as your friend -- is it
really what you think it is?
454
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:46,618
>> "The Young and the Restless"
will continue.
455
00:20:04,336 --> 00:20:07,005
>> Summer: Look, Sally, the last
time I saw you, I was really
456
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:10,275
upset and I crossed some lines.
457
00:20:10,342 --> 00:20:16,281
What I said to you was cruel and
wrong and just plain mean.
458
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:19,184
And I'm sorry.
459
00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:21,153
>> Sally: Thank you.
460
00:20:21,219 --> 00:20:24,323
>> Summer: Now that I've had
time to cool down, I've realized
461
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:27,793
that I've got to just accept
that you're an important part of
462
00:20:27,859 --> 00:20:29,328
my dad's life.
463
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:33,198
And if that's the case, then I
need to find a way for you and I
464
00:20:33,265 --> 00:20:35,067
to get along.
465
00:20:35,133 --> 00:20:37,669
And, look, I'm not saying that
it's gonna be easy or that we're
466
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:42,741
gonna be besties anytime soon,
but I have no interest in an
467
00:20:42,808 --> 00:20:46,211
ongoing battle that's just gonna
hurt all of us.
468
00:20:46,278 --> 00:20:47,412
>> Sally: Yeah.
469
00:20:47,479 --> 00:20:52,384
I mean, I would love to find a
way to, you know, make things
470
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:54,786
work.
471
00:20:54,853 --> 00:21:00,092
And since you are extending
yourself, I will meet you
472
00:21:00,158 --> 00:21:01,893
halfway.
473
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,729
>> Summer: I appreciate that.
474
00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:07,132
>> Sally: Look, I-I know that
this must have been really
475
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:08,367
jarring for you.
476
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:11,103
And I know that you just want to
protect your father.
477
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:13,505
>> Summer: I can't help but want
to look out for him.
478
00:21:13,572 --> 00:21:18,410
And it brings me to a question
that I've been wondering about,
479
00:21:18,477 --> 00:21:20,545
if you don't mind me asking.
480
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:22,347
>> Sally: Go ahead.
481
00:21:22,414 --> 00:21:26,685
>> Summer: How is Adam taking
the news?
482
00:21:26,752 --> 00:21:31,757
>> Sally: I think he's excited
to be a father again.
483
00:21:31,823 --> 00:21:32,524
>> Summer: Mm.
484
00:21:32,591 --> 00:21:33,792
I figured he would be.
485
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:37,863
But what I meant is, um, how is
he handling that you and my dad
486
00:21:37,929 --> 00:21:39,464
are gonna stay together?
487
00:21:39,531 --> 00:21:42,434
I assume he's not thrilled.
488
00:21:42,501 --> 00:21:44,269
>> Sally: That's a safe
assumption.
489
00:21:44,336 --> 00:21:46,471
>> Summer: He probably feels
like he should be the one by
490
00:21:46,538 --> 00:21:48,674
your side right now?
491
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:49,675
>> Sally: Yeah.
492
00:21:49,741 --> 00:21:52,844
Yeah, I-I think that's what he
wants.
493
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:57,249
>> Summer: The thing about Adam
is he can be relentless when he
494
00:21:57,315 --> 00:21:59,017
wants something.
495
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:03,221
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Adam: Look, I asked you to
496
00:22:03,288 --> 00:22:05,691
stay because we obviously need
to find a way to navigate this
497
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:07,392
situation.
498
00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:08,493
>> Nick: Agreed.
499
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,728
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
500
00:22:09,795 --> 00:22:12,964
You know, it's like we get on
the same page, we start to
501
00:22:13,031 --> 00:22:15,534
understand each other, and then
we will clash over something and
502
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,369
we end up right back where we
started.
503
00:22:17,436 --> 00:22:18,970
>> Nick: Well, it's not always
my fault, Adam.
504
00:22:19,037 --> 00:22:22,607
>> Adam: Okay. Nor is it mine.
505
00:22:22,674 --> 00:22:26,578
Look, it's frustrating for us,
but it's not good for Sally.
506
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:29,715
We don't want to aggravate her
in the condition that she's in.
507
00:22:29,781 --> 00:22:32,150
She won't stand for it.
508
00:22:32,217 --> 00:22:34,953
>> Nick: Well, I can't argue
with any of that.
509
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,222
>> Adam: Okay.
510
00:22:37,289 --> 00:22:40,726
Well, the reality is I'm gonna
be a part of this baby's life --
511
00:22:40,792 --> 00:22:45,897
and Sally's -- and you intend to
be just as involved.
512
00:22:45,964 --> 00:22:49,768
So, you know, where does that
leave us?
513
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:54,072
>> Nick: We're just brothers who
don't agree on much...except we
514
00:22:54,139 --> 00:22:56,541
both care for this woman.
515
00:22:56,608 --> 00:22:58,210
She shouldn't have to deal with
our issues.
516
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:02,080
So, yeah, we need to come up
with some common ground.
517
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:06,118
>> Adam: And how do you propose
we do that?
518
00:23:06,184 --> 00:23:08,620
>> Nick: I don't know.
519
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:10,122
But I know we're both capable.
520
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:16,962
So, if we both make a good-faith
effort, we should be able to
521
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:18,530
come up with something.
522
00:23:21,032 --> 00:23:22,868
>> Nikki: Thank you both for
coming.
523
00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:24,369
>> Michael: Oh, it was no
trouble at all, Nikki.
524
00:23:24,436 --> 00:23:26,905
>> Nikki: Um, there's tea, if
you'd like a cup, or if you'd
525
00:23:26,972 --> 00:23:27,839
like something else?
526
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:28,373
>> Lauren: Oh, no.
527
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,341
Tea is wonderful.
528
00:23:29,407 --> 00:23:30,142
Thank you.
529
00:23:30,208 --> 00:23:30,842
>> Nikki: Help yourself.
530
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:32,077
>> Lauren: Thanks, darling.
531
00:23:32,144 --> 00:23:34,646
Um, I'm assuming that we're here
to get our assignments for the
532
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:35,180
gala.
533
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:36,248
>> Michael: Ah!
534
00:23:36,314 --> 00:23:39,417
>> Nikki: Well, yes, as vice
chair, I will be meeting
535
00:23:39,484 --> 00:23:41,720
privately with everyone on the
planning committee.
536
00:23:41,787 --> 00:23:44,956
>> Michael: Oh, I'm gonna enjoy
being part of this, seeing how
537
00:23:45,023 --> 00:23:48,460
it all comes together instead of
just showing up the night of
538
00:23:48,527 --> 00:23:49,694
in a tux.
539
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:52,197
>> Lauren: You see, my darling,
how much fun you'd have if you
540
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:53,799
were retired?
541
00:23:53,865 --> 00:23:57,903
>> Nikki: Well, I have to say,
after all the charity work I've
542
00:23:57,969 --> 00:24:02,073
done over the years, this
particular event really has so
543
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:02,741
much meaning.
544
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:03,742
>> Lauren: Mm-hmm.
545
00:24:03,809 --> 00:24:07,179
Well, it's our town's
bicentennial celebration.
546
00:24:07,245 --> 00:24:11,149
I mean, 200 years since the
founding of Genoa City.
547
00:24:11,216 --> 00:24:12,918
>> Michael: Ah. How time flies.
548
00:24:12,984 --> 00:24:14,252
>> Nikki: Yes, it does.
549
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,354
And the gala is gonna be here
before we know it.
550
00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:17,989
>> Michael: Alright, Nikki,
we're at your service.
551
00:24:18,056 --> 00:24:18,557
Put us to work.
552
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:19,124
>> Lauren: Yep.
553
00:24:19,191 --> 00:24:20,258
What is it this year?
554
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:23,728
Do you want marketing, PR,
ticket sales, silent auction?
555
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:27,566
>> Nikki: Well, I thought you
might enjoy a change of pace.
556
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:31,136
I was hoping the two of you
could work as a team, handling
557
00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:35,807
the catering, signing off on the
menu, the signature cocktails,
558
00:24:35,874 --> 00:24:38,643
directing the chef and the head
of the waitstaff.
559
00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:40,378
>> Lauren: Oh, this sounds like
fun.
560
00:24:40,445 --> 00:24:41,980
>> Nikki: Yeah, I think it will
be.
561
00:24:42,047 --> 00:24:45,584
>> Michael: I will happily taste
every dish, including dessert.
562
00:24:45,650 --> 00:24:48,486
>> Lauren: And thank goodness I
have a staff of tailors who will
563
00:24:48,553 --> 00:24:50,188
be taking out his pants
afterwards.
564
00:24:50,255 --> 00:24:51,857
>> Nikki: Ah, good idea.
565
00:24:51,923 --> 00:24:56,161
Well, we have been working on
quite the guest list.
566
00:24:56,228 --> 00:24:57,729
>> Lauren: Oh, I don't think I
told you.
567
00:24:57,796 --> 00:24:59,331
It's a masked ball.
568
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:00,732
>> Michael: Oh!
569
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:03,668
Elegant mask, formal attire,
that kind of look?
570
00:25:03,735 --> 00:25:04,236
>> Nikki: Exactly.
571
00:25:04,302 --> 00:25:04,736
>> Lauren: Yes.
572
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:05,370
>> Michael: Alright.
573
00:25:05,437 --> 00:25:06,238
>> Lauren: Oh, my goodness.
574
00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:08,707
Do you remember that costume
ball we did?
575
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:09,708
>> Nikki: Ah!
576
00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:10,976
>> Lauren: I mean, how many
years ago was that?
577
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:14,145
>> Nikki: Oh, it's been a long
time, but I remember it like it
578
00:25:14,212 --> 00:25:15,113
was yesterday.
579
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,748
>> Lauren: And Katherine was
Queen of Hearts...
580
00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:17,582
>> Nikki: Oh, yes.
581
00:25:17,649 --> 00:25:18,783
>> Lauren: ...and Rex the
Mad Hatter.
582
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:21,620
And I was Marie Antoinette.
583
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:22,821
>> Michael: Ooh la la.
584
00:25:22,888 --> 00:25:24,422
Sounds very lavish.
585
00:25:24,489 --> 00:25:26,024
>> Lauren: Like you wouldn't
believe.
586
00:25:26,091 --> 00:25:27,125
>> Michael: Who else was there?
587
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,361
>> Lauren: [ Laughs ]
Uh, Christine was the blond
588
00:25:29,427 --> 00:25:29,961
bombshell.
589
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:30,929
>> Nikki: Ohh, yes.
590
00:25:30,996 --> 00:25:32,998
>> Lauren: And Jack, you know,
Prince Charming.
591
00:25:33,064 --> 00:25:33,665
Hello? Hello?
592
00:25:33,732 --> 00:25:34,633
>> Michael: Of course.
593
00:25:34,699 --> 00:25:35,433
Of course he was.
594
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,335
And Victor was...?
595
00:25:37,402 --> 00:25:38,637
>> Lauren: Roman conqueror.
596
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:39,337
>> Nikki: Absolutely.
597
00:25:39,404 --> 00:25:40,538
>> Michael: Very apropos.
598
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:44,376
>> Lauren: Oh, Ashley Abbott was
a stunning Scheherazade, and
599
00:25:44,442 --> 00:25:50,548
Jill made quite a spectacle,
arriving as Cleopatra with two
600
00:25:50,615 --> 00:25:56,388
half-naked, very hot men who
proceeded to fan her all night
601
00:25:56,454 --> 00:25:58,790
with very large ostrich
feathers.
602
00:25:58,857 --> 00:26:00,625
>> Nikki: I remember.
603
00:26:00,692 --> 00:26:04,229
Just know that this year's event
will be more toned down.
604
00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:05,430
>> Lauren: [ Laughs ]
>> Michael: Aw.
605
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:06,164
>> Lauren: Just a little.
606
00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:07,132
Just a little.
607
00:26:07,198 --> 00:26:08,366
Just a tad.
608
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:11,703
>> Nikki: So, Michael, while I
have you here, I'd love to hear
609
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:13,772
your take on Tucker McCall.
610
00:26:13,838 --> 00:26:16,141
What's happening with him and
his company?
611
00:26:16,207 --> 00:26:17,709
>> Michael: Ahh.
612
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:20,845
We were having so much fun
reminiscing and party planning.
613
00:26:20,912 --> 00:26:22,547
>> Nikki: Yes, we were.
614
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,251
But now I have some questions
about him and his business.
615
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:29,754
So, I'm looking to you for some
answers.
616
00:26:40,165 --> 00:26:43,301
>> Sally: Well, all things
considered, Adam is handling the
617
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:45,437
situation pretty well.
618
00:26:45,503 --> 00:26:47,872
You know, he knows we'll be
parents together and that's it,
619
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,543
and pushing for more would
alienate me, which would make it
620
00:26:51,609 --> 00:26:53,878
difficult to function in our
child's best interest.
621
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:55,213
And neither of us want to be
those parents.
622
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,418
So, the short answer is, yeah,
Adam is behaving himself.
623
00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:01,453
>> Summer: Good.
624
00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:03,822
I'm glad to hear that his
priorities are in order.
625
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:06,057
But still, it's got to be hard
for you.
626
00:27:06,124 --> 00:27:10,628
>> Sally: You know, I just have
to say that your interest and
627
00:27:10,695 --> 00:27:13,865
concern is very different than
it was the other day.
628
00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:14,966
>> Summer: Like I said, I
just --
629
00:27:15,033 --> 00:27:16,868
>> Sally: Yeah, you're
protective of Nick.
630
00:27:16,935 --> 00:27:18,069
Totally makes sense.
631
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:22,407
But still, it's just really
abrupt.
632
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:26,144
I can't help wondering if
there's more to your sudden
633
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:27,379
change of heart.
634
00:27:30,915 --> 00:27:34,185
>> Adam: Boy, I never would have
thought that this would be the
635
00:27:34,252 --> 00:27:38,890
thing that would force us to be
more harmonious.
636
00:27:38,957 --> 00:27:42,293
>> Nick: Well, this is where we
are, Adam.
637
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:44,763
>> Adam: We have more in common
than either one of us is willing
638
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:45,897
to admit.
639
00:27:45,964 --> 00:27:48,566
I mean, just the fact that
Victor is our father, for one.
640
00:27:48,633 --> 00:27:51,302
There's few people on the planet
that can appreciate the
641
00:27:51,369 --> 00:27:53,371
complexities that go along with
that.
642
00:27:53,438 --> 00:27:56,541
>> Nick: [ Chuckles ]
Well, that's true.
643
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:59,044
The way you've been talking
lately, it makes it seem like
644
00:27:59,110 --> 00:28:00,879
you see him in a more positive
light.
645
00:28:00,945 --> 00:28:04,516
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Uh, it's taken some time.
646
00:28:04,582 --> 00:28:07,552
But, yeah, I think I'm coming
around to the idea that he knows
647
00:28:07,619 --> 00:28:09,187
me better than I thought.
648
00:28:09,254 --> 00:28:13,458
And he might actually want to do
right by me.
649
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:16,628
I imagine you're up to date on
Newman's plan to acquire
650
00:28:16,694 --> 00:28:18,730
McCall Unlimited?
651
00:28:18,797 --> 00:28:21,566
And you know if that happens
that Victor is gonna keep it a
652
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,335
separate entity and put me in
charge?
653
00:28:24,402 --> 00:28:25,970
>> Nick: Yeah, I just didn't
know if he had talked to you
654
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:27,605
about it yet.
655
00:28:27,672 --> 00:28:30,675
>> Adam: Well, assuming that
happens and everything goes
656
00:28:30,742 --> 00:28:32,710
through, are you okay with that?
657
00:28:32,777 --> 00:28:38,149
Or is that gonna be something
else that we have to overcome?
658
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:40,885
>> Nikki: I want to know
whatever you know about Victor's
659
00:28:40,952 --> 00:28:43,421
plans to get a hold of McCall.
660
00:28:43,488 --> 00:28:45,090
I assume you know about this.
661
00:28:45,156 --> 00:28:46,624
At this point, it's not
confidential.
662
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:47,258
>> Lauren: Right.
663
00:28:47,325 --> 00:28:49,227
I'm up to speed.
664
00:28:49,294 --> 00:28:52,130
>> Michael: No, I have no
updates for you, Nikki.
665
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:54,099
There's been no movement on that
front.
666
00:28:54,165 --> 00:28:56,968
Tucker has still not agreed to
sell to Newman.
667
00:28:57,035 --> 00:28:59,003
>> Nikki: So, it's not imminent.
668
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:00,905
>> Lauren: You don't want this
acquisition to happen?
669
00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:03,074
>> Nikki: Oh, no, I'm fine with
the acquisition.
670
00:29:03,141 --> 00:29:07,846
It's what might happen afterward
that I am concerned about.
671
00:29:07,912 --> 00:29:10,448
Victor has this plan.
672
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:15,386
He wants to put Adam in charge,
have him report only to Victor,
673
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:17,455
bypassing Victoria.
674
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:21,126
I mean, she wants to dismantle
his company and fold it into the
675
00:29:21,192 --> 00:29:22,093
flagship.
676
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:22,861
>> Lauren: Oh.
677
00:29:22,927 --> 00:29:24,863
That sounds very tense.
678
00:29:24,929 --> 00:29:28,333
>> Nikki: Yeah, well, things are
volatile enough between Adam,
679
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:31,836
Victoria, and Nicholas on a
good day.
680
00:29:31,903 --> 00:29:33,471
>> Lauren: Say no more.
681
00:29:33,538 --> 00:29:34,639
>> Nikki: Yeah.
682
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:36,274
Our family has enough to deal
with right now.
683
00:29:36,341 --> 00:29:38,943
I don't want to add any more
tension.
684
00:29:39,010 --> 00:29:41,212
Ugh. Victor and his plans.
685
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,648
>> Michael: Have you spoken to
Victor about this?
686
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:46,885
>> Nikki: I have voiced my
thoughts about Adam, to no
687
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:48,753
avail.
688
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:56,361
That's why I would like you to
help me in stopping this.
689
00:29:56,427 --> 00:29:59,097
>> Chloe: I hope I didn't upset
you.
690
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:02,534
I just -- [ Sighs ]
You have made such incredible
691
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,401
progress.
692
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:06,371
I would hate to see anything
derail that.
693
00:30:06,437 --> 00:30:08,573
>> Chelsea: You didn't upset me,
Chloe.
694
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,841
You're being a good friend.
695
00:30:09,908 --> 00:30:11,176
You're asking all the right
questions.
696
00:30:11,242 --> 00:30:13,711
Trust me -- I've asked myself
the same ones.
697
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:15,446
>> Chloe: Okay, good.
698
00:30:15,513 --> 00:30:17,916
>> Chelsea: [ Sighs ]
Whatever's going on between
699
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:23,221
Billy and me, it's both
exhilarating and terrifying --
700
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:24,889
because I don't want to mess
this up.
701
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:26,224
>> Chloe: That's understandable.
702
00:30:26,291 --> 00:30:28,493
>> Chelsea: I mean, am I ready
for more than friendship?
703
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,727
Should I be?
704
00:30:29,794 --> 00:30:30,962
I don't know.
705
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:34,499
I just know that this connection
I have with him feels new and
706
00:30:34,566 --> 00:30:36,234
different than anything I've
felt for anybody.
707
00:30:36,301 --> 00:30:40,004
And, yes, different than what I
felt for Billy before.
708
00:30:40,071 --> 00:30:42,140
>> Chloe: And I'm so glad to
hear it.
709
00:30:42,207 --> 00:30:44,809
>> Chelsea: I'm drawn to him,
Chloe.
710
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:46,778
[ Sighs ]
It's a pull that's hard to
711
00:30:46,844 --> 00:30:52,650
ignore..and hard not to act on.
712
00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:56,287
>> Billy: Thank you for opening
up about your past like that.
713
00:30:56,354 --> 00:30:57,589
I appreciate it.
714
00:30:57,655 --> 00:31:00,825
And I know that was heartfelt.
715
00:31:00,892 --> 00:31:04,696
And it's a good reminder to keep
my wits about me, you know
716
00:31:04,762 --> 00:31:06,564
where Chelsea is concerned.
717
00:31:06,631 --> 00:31:11,769
>> Sharon: Well, I'm glad that
it was helpful.
718
00:31:11,836 --> 00:31:16,207
>> Billy: But, you know, Sharon,
our story isn't yours and Adam's
719
00:31:16,274 --> 00:31:17,909
story.
720
00:31:17,976 --> 00:31:20,778
You know, we've been honest with
each other about everything
721
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:22,547
through all of this.
722
00:31:22,614 --> 00:31:24,716
And I'm not gonna hurt her.
723
00:31:24,782 --> 00:31:27,685
No one's gonna get hurt here.
724
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:33,625
Whatever Chelsea and I have,
it just feels right.
725
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:43,801
>> Michael: I sympathize with
your concern for your family,
726
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:46,037
but I do not want to be caught
in the middle of this.
727
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:48,840
I'll be happy to assist Victor
in any acquisition-related
728
00:31:48,906 --> 00:31:54,012
issues, consult on the legal
status, but what happens to
729
00:31:54,078 --> 00:31:56,881
MCall after that -- that's way
above my pay grade.
730
00:31:56,948 --> 00:31:59,717
>> Nikki: Oh, that's too bad
because I was hoping I could
731
00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,886
count on you as an ally.
732
00:32:01,953 --> 00:32:04,756
>> Michael: Well, think of me as
Switzerland without the
733
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:06,391
chocolate.
734
00:32:06,457 --> 00:32:08,793
>> Lauren: Do you realize the
position you're putting Michael
735
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:09,661
in?
736
00:32:09,727 --> 00:32:11,863
>> Nikki: Yes, Lauren, I
understand that.
737
00:32:11,929 --> 00:32:17,535
But that doesn't mean I'm gonna
sit back and accept defeat.
738
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:20,004
>> Nick: Dad just loves to talk
about the acquisition like it's
739
00:32:20,071 --> 00:32:23,741
a done deal, but trust me --
it is not.
740
00:32:23,808 --> 00:32:26,210
>> Adam: Well, Victor's never
been accused of having a
741
00:32:26,277 --> 00:32:27,979
confidence problem.
742
00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:33,451
>> Nick: If we manage to snag
McCall, I have no problem
743
00:32:33,518 --> 00:32:36,788
whatsoever with you off running
it somewhere on the side.
744
00:32:36,854 --> 00:32:40,058
In fact, I would prefer it if
you never came back to
745
00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:41,759
Newman Enterprises.
746
00:32:41,826 --> 00:32:43,194
>> Adam: Really?
747
00:32:43,261 --> 00:32:44,395
I'm stunned.
748
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:45,997
>> Nick: Mm-hmm.
749
00:32:46,064 --> 00:32:48,900
If you remain autonomous, I
believe it will keep conflict
750
00:32:48,966 --> 00:32:50,335
to a minimum.
751
00:32:50,401 --> 00:32:53,371
>> Adam: Look, once again, we're
on the same page.
752
00:32:53,438 --> 00:32:56,974
Uh, unfortunately, Victoria is
not as open to that concept as
753
00:32:57,041 --> 00:32:57,875
you are.
754
00:32:57,942 --> 00:32:59,310
>> Nick: Have you talked to her
about it?
755
00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:00,445
>> Adam: No.
756
00:33:00,511 --> 00:33:04,449
I asked Dad what her response
was, and he said that, uh,
757
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:07,485
he'll take care of it, which
tells me she's definitely not
758
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:08,486
on board.
759
00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:11,222
>> Nick: [ Chuckles ]
You're surprised by that?
760
00:33:11,289 --> 00:33:12,623
>> Adam: No.
761
00:33:12,690 --> 00:33:16,127
Just trying to find out how big
of a fight I have on my hands.
762
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:20,398
>> Nick: Have you ever known
Vick to back down from a fight?
763
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:24,402
Sure, Adam, Dad's got grand
plans for you.
764
00:33:24,469 --> 00:33:28,840
But Vick's your ultimate
roadblock.
765
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:32,043
>> Summer: Sally, I'm trying to
be a better person here.
766
00:33:32,110 --> 00:33:35,079
>> Sally: So, you just had this
epiphany and decided to embrace
767
00:33:35,146 --> 00:33:35,847
it?
768
00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:38,516
>> Summer: I needed a little
push.
769
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:42,754
My dad and I had a long talk,
and...
770
00:33:42,820 --> 00:33:46,391
Growing up, he wasn't ever the
kind of dad that would yell, but
771
00:33:46,457 --> 00:33:50,595
when he was upset with me, he
would give me this look and I
772
00:33:50,661 --> 00:33:51,963
would know that he was
disappointed.
773
00:33:52,029 --> 00:33:54,198
And I hated that look.
774
00:33:54,265 --> 00:33:58,236
And he brought it out, and...
775
00:33:58,302 --> 00:34:00,838
it just made me see things from
another perspective.
776
00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:03,941
>> Sally: So, you're trying to
get along with me to not
777
00:34:04,008 --> 00:34:05,076
disappoint your father?
778
00:34:05,143 --> 00:34:07,345
>> Summer: Yeah.
779
00:34:07,412 --> 00:34:09,347
>> Sally: I can appreciate that.
780
00:34:09,414 --> 00:34:11,649
>> Summer: Look, while we're
putting all of our cards on the
781
00:34:11,716 --> 00:34:14,452
table, I still have reservations
about you and my dad.
782
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:16,421
>> Sally: 'Cause you think I'm
not good enough for him.
783
00:34:16,487 --> 00:34:18,189
>> Summer: No.
784
00:34:18,256 --> 00:34:23,194
Because I always thought that
you and Adam are a better match.
785
00:34:23,261 --> 00:34:24,095
>> Sally: Why?
786
00:34:24,162 --> 00:34:26,364
Because you think so little of
both of us?
787
00:34:26,431 --> 00:34:30,001
>> Summer: [ Chuckles ]
I mean, maybe in the past I
788
00:34:30,067 --> 00:34:34,205
thought that, but even then, I
could see how good you two were
789
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:35,406
together.
790
00:34:35,473 --> 00:34:38,109
It was like you inspired each
other to be your best selves,
791
00:34:38,176 --> 00:34:41,078
and, honestly, it made you both
a little easier to take.
792
00:34:41,145 --> 00:34:44,415
You got into a lot less trouble
together than you did apart.
793
00:34:44,482 --> 00:34:48,653
And -- I don't know -- something
about the relationship just
794
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,922
seemed to work.
795
00:34:50,988 --> 00:34:53,224
>> Sally: And you don't get that
same vibe between me and your
796
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:53,925
father?
797
00:34:53,991 --> 00:34:55,660
>> Summer: I'm not saying that.
798
00:34:55,726 --> 00:34:59,697
All I care about is that my dad
is happy, and if you can be the
799
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:02,834
woman that does that, fantastic.
800
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:04,469
But I'm not gonna lie to you,
Sally.
801
00:35:04,535 --> 00:35:07,405
The Adam factor bothers me.
802
00:35:07,472 --> 00:35:12,443
It just feels like you two
aren't done with each other yet.
803
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:14,979
And it's not just that you
seemed good together in the
804
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:16,113
past.
805
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:19,917
It's that you're pregnant with
his baby and you two were
806
00:35:19,984 --> 00:35:24,322
together once and all of these
months?
807
00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:25,523
What are the odds of that?
808
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:29,694
It's like the universe is trying
to say something.
809
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,362
It's as though you two are...
810
00:35:31,429 --> 00:35:33,431
meant to be.
811
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:44,509
>> Next week on
"The Young and the Restless"...
812
00:35:44,575 --> 00:35:49,514
>> Adam: I might actually end up
being the CEO of your empire.
813
00:35:49,580 --> 00:35:51,148
>> Tucker: Over my dead body.
814
00:35:51,215 --> 00:35:54,819
>> Elena: But tell me -- what's
going on with you and Victoria?
815
00:35:54,886 --> 00:35:56,888
>> Jack: I proposed to Diane.
816
00:35:56,954 --> 00:36:00,791
And, lucky me, she accepted.
