>> Tucker: Hi.
>> Ashley: Hi.
A little early in the day for this?
>> Tucker: Oh, it's never too early for champagne.
I thought you could use a break from all things Abbott
right now.
>> Ashley: Oh.
Very thoughtful of you.
>> Tucker: But not entirely selfless. I...
I couldn't wait any longer to see you.
>> Ashley: So this is good news, right, about Devon
and McCall Unlimited?
>> Victoria: Oh.
[sighs] [knock on door]
>> Audra: Is this a bad time?
>> Nate: [sighs heavily] >> Elena: I thought
you were working.
>> Nate: I didn't want to wake you since you got called
back to the hospital late last night.
I must have been at the gym when you got up.
>> Elena: So you don't have to go back to the office?
>> Nate: I'm taking the day off.
I thought we could spend some time together.
>> Elena: [scoffs] Okay.
But first...
I'd like to talk about what you were talking about
last night with Nick.
Why, considering everything he's going through right now,
did he feel compelled to confront you?
And why does he think you're consumed with power?
And are you finally ready to tell me what's
actually going on?
♪♪♪
>> Mariah: Hi, Mom.
>> Sharon: Well, hey.
What are you doing here?
>> Mariah: There's the maternal warmth I was looking for?
>> Sharon: No, I am being maternal.
It was just a...reflex because I know that you hate
leaving Tessa and the baby at home, and who could blame you?
But I'm always glad to see you.
>> Mariah: Well, I am going to be heading home soon,
but I just wanted to come here, pick up some treats
and some much needed coffee on my way back from Jabot.
>> Sharon: The office?
Why? I thought you were on parental leave.
>> Mariah: I am, but, uh, with Diane's arrest,
I just thought I could put in a few hours at work.
I mean, she can't handle her own PR crisis.
>> Sharon: The whole situation is so horrible.
>> Mariah: Yeah.
>> Sharon: But I'm sure that Jack will really appreciate you
stepping up at a time like this.
You know, on the other hand, it's also okay for you
to put yourself and your family first.
I mean, the first few days with your new baby are so precious.
>> Abby: I couldn't agree more.
>> Mariah: Hi!
>> Abby: Hi! Oh.
>> Mariah: My gosh.
>> Abby: Welcome home.
How are you and Tessa doing?
>> Mariah: Uh, we are exhausted, but deliriously happy.
>> Abby: Well, I remember the feeling.
When can I meet little Aria?
If you ever want to sneak in a nap, I can totally babysit.
>> Mariah: I'm going to take you up on that.
Uh, how are you?
I know we haven't spoken since the divorce finalized.
>> Abby: Uh, I'm--I'm okay.
You know, it can be a little complicated,
but it's not all bad, which probably sounds terrible
under the circumstances.
>> Mariah: If you and Chance weren't happy, I...
I totally understand, you know?
And eventually, you'll both move on with your lives.
>> Abby: About that, um...
I have some news, and I wanted you to hear it
from me directly.
It's something I didn't see coming until it happened.
>> Ashley: So this feels very decadent,
but what the hell?
We're celebrating, right?
>> Tucker: Yeah.
>> Ashley: Cheers.
>> Tucker: Cheers.
Mm. I have orange juice if you'd prefer.
>> Ashley: Would you please just tell me what happened
when Devon finally came around?
Take it slow. Tell me the story.
>> Tucker: Sadly, that's one thing
I can't offer you.
Devon has decided to go back to Chancellor-Winters rather
than take over McCall.
>> Ashley: Well, that's...
That's very disappointing.
>> Tucker: I'm sorry.
Sorry that I couldn't pull off the one task you gave me.
>> Ashley: Why are we drinking champagne? I mean...
>> Tucker: I'm hoping we can toast to us.
I'm appealing to your better angels, Ashley.
I haven't given up on becoming the man
that you want and deserve.
>> Ashley: Well, you're certainly taking your defeat
in stride.
>> Tucker: Hmm.
Actually, I was really stung by Devon's rejection.
Actually, no, not stung.
I was hurt because it's been my dream to
have my son take over my company and continue my legacy.
But while I am disappointed for myself, I'm very happy
for Devon and Lily, because they have
this really strong bond that's rare and to be cherished.
>> Ashley: You're so upbeat and magnanimous
about the whole thing.
>> Tucker: And don't be so surprised.
I am capable of both those things.
And I think I have reason to be positive 'cause
I give myself a little credit for Devon's current happiness.
>> Ashley: Well, that's a shock.
You give yourself credit?
Why is that?
>> Tucker: For providing him an alternative.
Because when I laid out the possibility
that he might sever ties with Chancellor-Winters and Lily
to take over McCall, I'd like to think that inspired Lily to
make peace.
So in a way, I did Devon a service,
and I'm proud of that.
And I hope you can be proud of me, too.
>> Victoria: Nate and I went over your Langston report,
and we have decided to make an offer to buy the company.
>> Audra: That's great news.
>> Victoria: I have some notes, and Nate will email you
the details, if he hasn't already.
>> Audra: Uh, this is the first I'm hearing about it.
Uh, when did you two exactly decide to greenlight the deal?
>> Victoria: Yesterday.
>> Audra: Oh.
>> Victoria: You know, uh...
[sighs] Whenever I have a meeting with
the CEO of Newman Media, the COO doesn't
necessarily have to be there, right?
>> Audra: Understood.
I just like to stay on top of things,
like I imagine you do.
>> Victoria: You've made that abundantly clear.
You're always going above and beyond, aren't you?
>> Audra: [chuckles] Is--Is that a compliment
or a criticism?
Look, I hope I didn't offend you during our last meeting when
I talked about my own ambitions.
>> Victoria: I don't offend easily.
>> Audra: Well, if there's any question,
let me go on the record now.
I am absolutely a team player.
>> Victoria: That's good.
Very good.
I respect ambition, but I respect loyalty even more.
>> Audra: I plan to emulate Nate in that regard.
>> Victoria: Meaning?
>> Audra: Oh, you know, just that Nate's really
putting in the hours and working day and night to satisfy you.
There's no doubt where his loyalty lies.
>> Nate: I wasn't trying to avoid you or your questions
last night.
You got called into that emergency at the hospital.
There wasn't much time for talking.
>> Elena: Okay.
Well, we're both here now, so why is Nick upset with you?
>> Nate: Truth is, he's never been thrilled that I took
the job to run Newman Media.
>> Elena: Because Victoria got rid of Sally
against his wishes?
>> Nate: And due to the way I left Chancellor-Winters.
He felt like I sold out my family
for a better job at Newman.
>> Elena: Oh.
Didn't realize you guys had such a frank conversation about it.
Although I can see why he might have felt that way.
>> Nate: Because you felt the same way.
>> Elena: Luckily, we were able to get through it.
>> Nate: And I was hoping, uh, Nick and I could as well.
I told him I would try my best to gain his trust, you know,
work hard to prove myself to him.
But I guess that second chance isn't going to happen now.
>> Elena: Why?
What happened yesterday?
>> Nate: [sighs] Nick's emotions are running hot
because of Phyllis' death, and he might have heard
something at Newman that set him off.
>> Elena: Like what?
>> Nate: I'm not exactly sure, but Victoria loops me in
on things more often than Nick would like,
and that doesn't sit well with him.
>> Elena: So you're saying your access to Victoria is
causing more problems between you?
>> Nate: Yeah, and there's nothing I could do about it.
I have to take my cues from my boss.
>> Elena: Right.
So let's talk about you and Victoria.
>> Abby: Devon asked me to move in with him.
And after some thought, Dom and I moved into
his penthouse yesterday.
>> Mariah: Wow. [laughs] Uh...yeah, that...that is, uh...
that's big news.
Sorry, I just need a minute to kind of wrap my head
around that.
>> Abby: Yeah, that's been most people's reaction.
Sharon, you don't seem surprised.
>> Sharon: Oh. Uh...
Well, Chance mentioned it.
>> Abby: Right. Yeah.
I'm--I know the two of you have become friends. Um...
I'm really happy that he has someone to talk to.
He doesn't want to discuss things with me recently, which
I don't blame him for, so...
>> Mariah: Abby, you know that I love you
and Devon and Chance.
I'm in all of your corners.
I just didn't know that you and Devon
were so serious already.
Just, it does seem a little fast.
>> Abby: I totally get that.
Yes, it does seem fast, but...
I don't know. It...
It just feels right.
After talking to Chance, of course, and he didn't object.
I know this can't be easy for him, but he has been
very mature, and he has handled things very civilly.
>> Mariah: Well, it's probably been difficult for him, but I'm
sure he's just going to continue to do what's best for Dom.
>> Abby: I have no doubt about that.
Our child comes first.
>> Mariah: I didn't see that as a kid myself,
but I absolutely want to make that true for my daughter.
And my heart could burst.
>> Sharon: Welcome to the club.
>> Abby: [laughs] >> Elena: I have concerns about
your dynamic with Victoria.
She has a deep-seated need for power, and you have a need
to prove yourself to her.
>> Nate: Only because I want to be good at my job.
>> Elena: Obviously, I'm not at Newman every day,
but Nick is.
And seeing him confront you the way that he did
did not make me feel any better about whatever's going on
at that office.
>> Nate: Look, I love my job.
I love the opportunities it represents,
but I'm not obsessed with power.
I'm just trying to do what I can to grow Newman Media
and show that I deserve to be in that CEO seat.
>> Elena: I never said you shouldn't love your job.
That is exactly how I feel about mine.
>> Nate: But I realize I've been a bit of a workaholic lately,
and that's taken a toll on us.
When you're at the hospital, you have a shift.
There's a reason why you clock out--
because it can be all-consuming.
The business world is the same way,
but there's no one else to take over when I get off.
And things come up around the clock.
So...
lines could get blurred.
But I should have set some limits.
Listen, you are my top priority.
I want you to know that.
Feel it.
That's why I took today off, because I want to work on making
things right between us.
And I know I told you we'd find a way to balance our jobs
and our relationship, and I've been slacking
in that department. [scoffs] I missed you.
And you deserve better.
I promise, things will be better from now on.
>> Ashley: Am I proud of you?
You didn't really keep up your end of the bargain.
>> Tucker: Ashley, I tried my best to do right
by Devon, to prove to him that I could be a better man
and a better father to him.
I was just going to hand my company over to him.
I offered to stay on as an advisor so I could work
alongside him, so we could rebuild the business together.
I mean, do you doubt my sincerity in this?
>> Ashley: I know you tried.
I believe that.
But I think your take on his rejection is just
a little bit too shiny.
>> Tucker: No, but I actually believe,
honestly believe, that-- the way things turned out is
gonna be the best thing for him and Lily.
And I can't force him to do something he doesn't really
want to do. That would be putting my wants ahead of his.
I have to respect his position.
And despite my best efforts, he just doesn't trust me.
I really want you to tell me that's not true for you.
>> Ashley: I don't know how to answer.
>> Tucker: Don't do that!
Don't...
Don't use Devon to retreat again and put up your walls, Ashley.
You know, there was nothing fake about our fake engagement to me.
I've opened my heart to you.
I want to marry you.
I want to be the husband to you that I should have been
the first time.
And I saw that look in your eye when I asked you,
and I knew that you wanted it as much as I do, but then
you pull away as you always do, because you won't
let yourself believe it.
>> Ashley: I can't.
>> Tucker: [sighs] >> Ashley: Look, I'm sorry.
Maybe it's easy for you just to let go of the past
and move on with your life, but it's not that easy for me.
Okay?
I'm having a hard time doing that.
But then again, you weren't the one
that was deceived, right?
I mean, you did really crappy, despicable things to me.
And you know what?
You're always going to have a roving eye, because
that's just who you are.
>> Tucker: Not anymore.
>> Ashley: Yes, it is.
You love the game.
You know you do.
You dropped in on all of us, literally, out of the blue.
You hid your alliance with Diane.
You hid your alliance with Audra.
And you think I'm stupid?
Really, Tucker, you think I don't know there's a little
something going on between the two of you?
>> Tucker: I have tried every conceivable way to
show you that I have changed.
You have to know now that my love for you is real.
Yeah.
But that's not good enough for you, though, is it?
>> Sharon: Oh, look how cute.
I am so grateful to know this sweet little girl.
>> Mariah: Yeah.
This is from this morning.
It was her first time waking up in her new room.
Although she had, uh, been up for a few hours before that
'cause she needed to be fed.
And it definitely wasn't daytime out.
The sun was not out, uh, but, uh, there's
no need to get into that.
I am extremely grateful for every second.
>> Abby: Even when they're fussy and they're having
their meltdowns.
>> Mariah: Uh, though, right here, she happens to be
very cute and very, very bubbly.
Are they not like this all the time?
>> Sharon: Oh, yeah, they are.
They're always a bundle of sunshine and rainbows.
>> Abby: Oh, yeah, and I've heard they stay that way.
Yeah, the terrible twos are just a myth.
>> Mariah: Wow. Okay.
Well, the less cute moments make the cute moments
10 times better.
I mean, just look at those cheeks and those eyes.
Oh, God, she's an old soul.
[gasps] I have become one of those people
that won't stop gushing about their kid.
>> Abby: Well, it's a good thing you're with two people who can't
hear enough about her.
>> Sharon: I could talk about this baby 24/7.
>> Mariah: [laughs] [cellphone rings]
Uh...Oh, this is work.
It's from one of my teammates.
I'll be right back. Sorry.
Hello?
Yeah. I'm heading out.
>> Sharon: Um, Abby, I want to talk to you
about something.
I'm glad we have a moment alone.
>> Abby: Do you want to talk about Chance?
I know that he's been confiding in you.
I'm sure you've heard an earful about me.
>> Sharon: No. I told you a long time ago,
I'm very fond of you and Devon and Chance,
and I'm not judging.
It's not my place to.
I wanted to talk to you about Mariah and Tessa.
I'm, um, hoping to throw them a baby shower, and I really
want it to be a surprise.
>> Abby: That's amazing.
That's a great idea. Yeah.
We could get around Mariah insisting that it's not
necessary and that we shouldn't go to the trouble.
>> Sharon: Exactly.
>> Abby: Because it is no trouble at all.
Showering Mariah and Tessa with gifts and love--
they deserve it all.
So you can totally do it at Society. Just tell me when.
>> Victoria: Good work speaks for itself,
and the rewards-- they just follow.
You don't really have to push it.
>> Audra: I just wanted to be honest about my intentions.
[knock on door] >> Nate: Hey. Um...
Just wanted to let you know I decided to come in and take care
of a couple of things.
>> Victoria: Great.
Better late than never.
>> Audra: Victoria was just filling me in
on the Langston deal.
Exciting.
>> Nate: Yeah, yeah.
It should be a good acquisition for us.
>> Audra: Yeah, I agree.
Have you had a chance to look at the audio book app I sent you?
I meant to follow up with you about it last night,
but I couldn't track you down.
>> Nate: Yeah, I was, uh, tackling some other stuff.
>> Audra: Right. Of course.
Uh, you two were greenlighting the Langston deal.
>> Nate: Look, uh, I should have some time this afternoon
to go over stuff.
Uh, let's sit down in a bit.
>> Audra: I'll be in my office.
>> Victoria: So...
what brings you into the office today after all?
>> Ashley: I'm sorry that I can't tell you
what you want to hear.
I'm sorry I can't tell you that I see us riding off
into the sunset.
>> Tucker: You can.
You choose not to.
>> Ashley: I never made you any promises.
>> Tucker: No, I suppose you didn't.
Always consider myself a smart man.
But I've been an absolute fool when it comes to you.
And I have failed at every turn.
My own son wants nothing to do with me,
and now the woman I love does not love me in return.
But you know, you say that I'm the one
who enjoys the game.
I don't think so.
I think you're the only one playing games here, Ashley.
Yes, because if you never felt any genuine feelings for me,
that means you were just enjoying, uh, torturing me
and manipulating me.
>> Ashley: Look, that's not true.
>> Tucker: It is true!
>> Ashley: It's not.
>> Tucker: Yes, it is.
Of course it is.
You wanna just--You love it to see me just tie myself
in knots for your own amusement!
Well, so much for good intentions, man.
I am done.
>> Ashley: You're done?
>> Tucker: Yes, I'm done with this exercise
in self-flagellation.
>> Ashley: Okay, so-- >> Tucker: I know when I'm beat.
I said I'm beat!
>> Ashley: Okay.
What does that mean?
What does it mean, Tucker?
>> Tucker: I'm going to pick up this phone. I'm gonna--
I'm gonna sell my company, and I'm gonna leave this town.
>> Ashley: Okay, so now you're threatening me.
>> Tucker: No, I'm telling you the truth.
I don't know how you can be so cold.
Of course, I don't know how I didn't see it coming.
Because you love to push me and you just
push me and push me right to the edge,
and then you push me over, and you get some kind of
sick satisfaction out of it!
You know what you are? A sadist!
>> Ashley: Okay.
Thank you so much for the drink.
You do whatever you need to do.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
♪♪♪ >> Sharon: Here you go.
Coffee and pastries to keep you going.
>> Mariah: Thank you so much.
You are a lifesaver.
I'm sorry I can't stay and chat longer.
>> Sharon: No, go on, get home and give Aria
a kiss for me.
>> Elena: Give her a kiss for me, too.
>> Mariah: Hi!
You just missed an endless barrage of baby photos.
>> Elena: Ooh, text me next time.
>> Sharon: Me, too.
>> Mariah: Well, we'll probably have a photo session
this afternoon, so...
[laughter] See you.
>> Sharon: Bye.
>> Elena: Bye.
>> Sharon: Elena.
What can I get you?
>> Elena: Uh, oat milk latte, please.
>> Sharon: You got it.
You know, actually, I'm glad you stopped by.
It saves me the call.
We are throwing a baby shower for Mariah and Tessa, and it's
a surprise. Tomorrow at Society.
Do you think you can make it?
>> Elena: Um, I'm working nights for the foreseeable future,
so yeah, I'll be there.
>> Sharon: Great.
It'll be so much fun.
Things are really coming together for Mariah and Tessa.
It's so nice to see.
They are just happier than ever.
>> Elena: That's the way it should be.
>> Sharon: Is everything all right with you?
>> Elena: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
Thank you.
>> Victoria: Well, I was kind of wondering if--
if you were taking the day off because of...
you know, because of what happened between us.
>> Nate: I was.
I needed some time to consider the situation before seeing you.
>> Victoria: Okay.
Um...I'm not really liking where this is going.
>> Nate: We made a mistake.
>> Victoria: "We"?
Uh...look, maybe you feel that way,
but you can't speak for me.
I don't feel like I made a mistake.
>> Nate: All right.
I made a mistake.
I'm the one who's in a committed relationship,
one that I value deeply.
Look, I don't want to be that guy who betrays the person
I love, okay?
Someone who risks wrecking a good thing
because I lost control.
>> Victoria: Don't you feel like maybe it's more than that
at this point?
>> Nate: Victoria, you're an incredible woman,
and I'm not denying the connection between us.
>> Victoria: By that you mean a meeting of the minds,
an incredible physical connection.
>> Nate: This is about right and wrong.
I am with Elena.
We acted impulsively without thinking about
the repercussions.
The fact that your brother almost walked in on us
proves the point that we weren't thinking straight.
>> Victoria: My brother won't be an issue. He's not that much
of a hypocrite.
>> Nate: [scoffs] Hate to tell you,
but he tracked me down last night, made all
sorts of accusations, and I don't think it's the last
we're going to hear from him.
>> Tucker: What do you want?
>> Audra: Well, hello to you, too.
You know, you really know how to make a woman feel welcome.
>> Tucker: Not really interested in your repartee at the moment.
>> Audra: You used to love my repartee.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
Get to the point.
>> Audra: Okay, well, I said I would
get back to you about your offer to locate J.T. Hellstrom,
but your help won't be needed.
You know, I've just been feeling especially resourceful
and lucky lately.
I don't know, but it's like useful information
just keeps falling into my lap, and I don't want to be indebted
to you when I have other options at my disposal.
So thanks, but no, thanks.
>> Tucker: Fine. Is that it?
>> Audra: You are in a mood.
Mm.
Does it have anything to do with the half-empty champagne glass?
Let me guess.
Your latest attempt to woo Ashley crashed and burned.
Like I told you, you are kidding yourself when
it comes to that woman.
>> Tucker: Great.
Congratulations.
You were right. I was wrong.
You're smart. I'm stupid.
There's the door.
>> Audra: See you around, Tucker.
[door slams] >> Abby: Mom?
>> Ashley: Oh, hey.
>> Abby: Hi.
>> Ashley: Hi.
I was just, uh, taking a chance that you were here.
>> Abby: Uh, yeah.
Is everything okay?
>> Ashley: Sure.
I mean, we haven't had a lot of mother-daughter time lately,
and I could use some of that, so...
>> Abby: Well, me, too.
Come inside.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Abby: Well, it looks like I will get some
mother and father time.
>> Victor: Oh, my goodness.
Hi, sweetheart.
>> Abby: Dad, hi.
What are you doing here, flying solo?
>> Victor: Well, you know, taking a little time for myself
after all the things that have happened.
>> Ashley: Yep. A lot of information to digest.
>> Victor: Yes, indeed.
Why don't you two sit down?
We need to discuss something as a family, all right?
>> Victor: My dear Abby, I'm sure your mother is
as interested as I am in your new living arrangement.
>> Ashley: Oh, I am indeed.
>> Abby: Well, it's new, but no regrets.
Dom and I are making ourselves at home.
>> Ashley: Okay. Well, I'm not gonna lie. I was a little
surprised when I first heard.
But...clearly, I hope it all works out
the way you want it to, honey.
>> Abby: Well, it is so far.
>> Victor: Well, Devon seems to be in a better place now
that you and his son are living with him.
And you went back to work at Chancellor-Winters.
>> Ashley: Right, instead of pursuing McCall.
>> Victor: Uh...
>> Ashley: Yeah, Tucker told me.
>> Audra: Hi.
Uh, mind if I join you?
>> Elena: Yeah, sure.
Take a seat.
>> Audra: Where was your head.
>> Elena: About a million different places.
Mostly back at home, I guess.
>> Audra: What happened there?
>> Elena: Hey, tell me, did you happen
to see Nick yesterday?
>> Audra: Uh, yeah, I-I ran into him briefly
at the office last night.
>> Elena: Did he happen to mention anything
about being frustrated with Newman or Nate?
>> Audra: Um...no.
Why are you asking?
>> Elena: Because I met Nate at Society, and when I got there,
he and Nick were having an intense conversation.
>> Audra: Hmm.
You didn't ask Nate what it was about?
>> Elena: Yeah, he explained that he and Nick
have been having issues since he came on board, that Nick
doesn't like that Victoria relies on him so much.
I...I guess it was a good conversation.
>> Audra: But you're still coming to me looking
for answers.
So...which part of his story are you doubting?
>> Victoria: [sighs] I told Nick
this was none of his business.
>> Nate: Hmm.
Obviously, he felt differently.
Went off on me for getting involved
with you, accused me of having some sort
of an agenda.
>> Victoria: I know.
Using me for your own personal gain.
I told him that was not happening.
I shut him down.
I mean, at least I thought I shut him down.
>> Nate: I can't afford a repeat performance.
Elena showed up.
>> Victoria: What?
Did he say anything to her about me?
>> Nate: Not this time.
>> Victoria: Well, I'll make sure that that doesn't happen.
I-I promise.
>> Nate: Good.
Then let's close the door on this and move on.
Forget this thing between us ever happened.
>> Victoria: Do you really think that's possible?
>> Elena: It's not that I don't believe what Nate told me.
He was very loving and reassuring.
But at the same time, Nate has also sworn to me that work
wouldn't get in the way of our relationship and that
I wouldn't have to worry about Victoria.
And as much as I think he wants that to be
the case, I'm not sure it is.
>> Audra: Look, you should know that their dynamic
at the office is still as intense as ever.
Victoria Newman is used to getting what she wants.
So the sooner she can set her sights on something else,
the better it will be for everyone.
>> Elena: And by something else, you mean J.T.
I know.
I still need to track him down to interview for my podcast.
>> Audra: I can take over the search if you want.
Not just to help you personally, but, you know, it would
also be a major win for Newman Media.
>> Elena: Yeah, that'd be great.
>> Audra: No problem.
I already explored one avenue that didn't pan out.
But I promise you, I won't let you down.
>> Elena: Thanks.
All right, well... [sips] I've got to get back
to Memorial, so we will touch base later.
>> Audra: Count on it.
Hey, hon.
How's my favorite rock turner?
Oh, I'm good.
You know, just settling into life in Genoa City.
Yeah, no, it's--it's been interesting.
It's about to get more so.
Listen, I'm calling you because I need a favor.
I'm--I'm trying to track someone down.
The name is J.T. Hellstrom.
>> Victoria: I think what's happening between us
is happening for a reason.
It's not just out of the blue.
Even if you're not ready to admit it,
you know it's true.
Those feelings, you know, they're not--
they're not just gonna go away if we ignore them, right?
>> Nate: I disagree.
It ends here.
It has to.
>> Victoria: Okay.
I respect that.
Even though I know you're eventually
going to change your mind.
>> Nate: I won't.
But again, I hope this won't affect our working relationship.
>> Victoria: Oh, you don't have to worry on that front.
I know how to keep business separate from personal.
>> Nate: Then let's get back to business.
>> Abby: Well, Dad sure left in a hurry.
I wonder what was wrong.
>> Ashley: I don't know, but when Victor moves
that quickly, somebody's in trouble.
>> Abby: What was Dad talking about
with you and Devon and Tucker, the whole McCall thing?
Is there something I should be worried about?
>> Ashley: No, honey, there's nothing to worry about.
I wanted Devon to buy McCall so that he could, you know,
mend his relationship with his father.
But I totally understand why Devon wants to stay
with Lily at Chancellor-Winters, so no problem.
>> Abby: Right.
Because he doesn't fully trust him, and I agree with him.
We need to set some healthy boundaries, a healthy distance.
>> Ashley: I get your message, and it's not an issue.
>> Abby: Good.
Okay, well, I am going to go check on some things in
the kitchen. I'll be right back.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Tucker: Welcome.
>> Victor: Hello, Tucker McCall.
So what the hell is all this about?
>> Tucker: An offer.
A deal to be made.
Victoria may no longer want McCall Unlimited for
Newman Enterprises, but I assume you're still interested.
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Tucker: Good.
>> Victor: I want the company for Adam.
>> Tucker: Yeah, I don't care what you do with it.
I just want to sell it so I can be out of
this godforsaken town.
>> Victor: For good?
>> Tucker: [chuckles] Will that make a difference
in your offer?
>> Victor: Well, now, does that mean
if I throw in a few more bucks, you get the hell out of town
permanently? Is that it?
>> Tucker: Just give me a reasonable figure, Victor,
and I will have the paperwork drawn up immediately. Deal?
>> Victor: It's a deal.
