00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:04,804
>> Nikki: Well, hello.
2
00:00:04,871 --> 00:00:06,973
I'm glad to see you here.
3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,808
>> Victoria: You're not
surprised to see me back
4
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:10,043
in Genoa City?
5
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:11,211
>> Nikki: No.
6
00:00:11,277 --> 00:00:14,314
I saw Nate last night
at Neil's tribute,
7
00:00:14,381 --> 00:00:16,483
so I figured you were back, too.
8
00:00:16,549 --> 00:00:18,485
But he didn't tell me
why you had to cut
9
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:19,719
your trip to LA short.
10
00:00:19,786 --> 00:00:22,555
>> Victoria: Uh, well,
we accomplished our goal, so,
11
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:24,124
uh, we decided to head on back.
12
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:26,593
>> Nikki: What happened
to the idea of you extending
13
00:00:26,659 --> 00:00:29,462
your trip there
for a working holiday?
14
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,731
>> Victoria: Our plans changed.
15
00:00:37,003 --> 00:00:41,474
>> Audra: Oh, I'll have
my usual.
16
00:00:41,541 --> 00:00:42,609
Hey.
17
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:44,811
You're already back from LA.
18
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:48,748
Did you find Nate
and Victoria hard at work?
19
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:52,585
>> Elena: They were hard at
something, but it wasn't work.
20
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:53,820
>> Audra: Ugh.
21
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:56,022
I almost hate to ask.
22
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:57,957
>> Elena: You should have
seen them.
23
00:00:58,024 --> 00:01:03,530
They were so casually intimate,
even in a public restaurant.
24
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:05,799
And their body language gave
away everything that was
25
00:01:05,865 --> 00:01:07,567
going on between them.
26
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:08,635
>> Audra: Oh, my God.
27
00:01:08,701 --> 00:01:11,104
>> Elena: At least Nate had
the decency not to deny
28
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:12,806
what was going on.
29
00:01:12,872 --> 00:01:14,607
He didn't even try to.
30
00:01:14,674 --> 00:01:17,577
He just admitted it flat out.
31
00:01:17,644 --> 00:01:21,614
>> Audra: Elena, I am so sorry
that you're going through this.
32
00:01:21,681 --> 00:01:27,320
I'm not sure I could have been
as strong or as brave as you.
33
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:29,656
But what are you gonna do?
34
00:01:29,722 --> 00:01:31,224
What happens now?

noticed it, too?
38
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,605
>> Adam: It's impossible not to.
39
00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:21,608
I mean, ever since we told
Connor about Sally's baby.
40
00:02:21,674 --> 00:02:25,578
>> Chelsea: He's been so moody
and sullen.

I've been trying to pull him
out of it, but--
42

I mean, I don't understand.
43
00:02:28,581 --> 00:02:31,718
So, he's okay having
a big brother, but he's not okay
44
00:02:31,784 --> 00:02:33,553
now having a younger sister?
45
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:36,222
>> Adam: Yeah. He and Johnny
were already solid as cousins,
46
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:38,658
but they've really
bonded as brothers.
47
00:02:38,725 --> 00:02:40,560
The only thing that I can
imagine is the news
48
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:43,463
about the baby was just
one change too many.
49
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:45,665

Promise me you won't
say something negative.

00:03:10,757 --> 00:03:12,959
>> Sally: You spent the night.
53
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:14,727
>> Nick: I mean,
how could I leave?
54
00:03:14,794 --> 00:03:16,563
You pretty much demanded
I activate my legendary

00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:20,800

have considerable talent
57
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:23,870
in that area.
58
00:03:23,937 --> 00:03:25,204
Where are you off to now?
59
00:03:25,271 --> 00:03:27,574
Going home to see Christian?
60
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,576
>> Nick: Yeah, I'm just gonna
run home and change and make
61
00:03:29,642 --> 00:03:31,477
sure he gets off to school.
62
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:34,314
>> Sally: Do you have time
to stay here and have
63
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:35,548
breakfast in bed with me?
64
00:03:35,615 --> 00:03:38,484
It's my treat.

00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:42,722

but, uh...
66
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:45,592
>> Sally: But what?
67
00:03:45,658 --> 00:03:48,928
>> Nick: I have some pressing
matters I need to handle.
68
00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:50,763
>> Sally: Something tells me
I know exactly where
69
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:52,565
you're headed.
70
00:03:52,632 --> 00:03:55,635
You're off to fight with
your father, aren't you?
71
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:09,616
>> Sally: Nick, can you please
not go into battle
72
00:04:09,682 --> 00:04:10,717
with your father over me? Okay?
73
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:13,052
I already know who Victor is.
74
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:14,187
All right? I know what he wants.
75
00:04:14,253 --> 00:04:15,021
He wants me gone.
76
00:04:15,088 --> 00:04:16,889
He's made that perfectly clear.
77
00:04:16,956 --> 00:04:19,459
>> Nick: That's not his decision
to make.
78
00:04:19,525 --> 00:04:23,296
>> Sally: Well, I'm still here.
79
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:26,299
Can I please ask you not
to turn this into a big
80

00:04:32,238 --> 00:04:33,506
Seriously.
83
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:35,074
I just gotta run home.
84
00:04:35,141 --> 00:04:36,309
And then, uh, get to the office.
85
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:38,177
I've got a pile of work
to catch up on.
86
00:04:38,244 --> 00:04:40,680
What's your day looking like?
87
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:43,983
>> Sally: Well, I am meeting up
with Chloe to go over
88
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,085
some design ideas before
we follow up with Jill.
89
00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:49,022
I have been doing tons
of research on some workflow
90
00:04:49,088 --> 00:04:52,358
office ergonomics experts,
'cause we really need to add
91
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:54,560
someone to our team.

>> Nick: I like it.
93
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:57,897
And speaking from experience,
those clunky chairs,
94
00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,033
sitting in them all day can
really mess up your back.
95
00:05:00,099 --> 00:05:02,101
I'm sure you're gonna
find the perfect person.
96
00:05:02,168 --> 00:05:05,738
I have absolute faith in you.
97
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:07,874
>> Sally: Nicely done, Nick.
98
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:11,010
You have diverted my attention.
99
00:05:11,077 --> 00:05:14,714
But I'm sorry,
I'm not buying it.
100
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:16,949
Are you sure you're
okay with putting what
101
00:05:17,016 --> 00:05:19,686
Victor did behind us?
102
00:05:19,752 --> 00:05:23,456
>> Nick: I'm good. I mean it.
103
00:05:23,523 --> 00:05:26,292
So, just because I'm not
sticking around for breakfast,
104
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:28,628
it doesn't give you permission
to skip it. Okay?
105
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:31,230
I want you to call up some food
and then promise me you're gonna
106
00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:33,332
take your vitamins.
107
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:34,734
>> Sally: I promise.
108
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:39,639
>> Nick: That's my girl.
109
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:40,707
Maybe just one more.
110
00:05:40,773 --> 00:05:43,743
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
111
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:44,711
>> Nick: Bye.
112
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:55,354
>> Sally: Bye. [ sighs ]
[ door opens, closes ]
113
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:57,724
Well, you heard the man.
114
00:05:57,790 --> 00:06:01,327
Let's get to work.
115
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:03,162
Oh...
116
00:06:03,229 --> 00:06:04,831
>> Adam: Let's check back
in about Connor later.
117
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:05,598
>> Chelsea: Of course.
118
00:06:05,665 --> 00:06:07,033
And Adam--
>> Adam: Yeah.
119
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,769
>> Chelsea: You got a lot
of time before the baby's born.
120
00:06:09,836 --> 00:06:12,338
Connor will come to terms
with being a big brother.
121
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:14,574
It's just been years
of endless change for him
122
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,942
and I think he's hit his limit.
123
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:19,512
But once he meets his baby
sister, he will adjust.
124
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:24,550
>> Adam: I really wanna
believe that.
125
00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:25,685
Billy.
126
00:06:25,752 --> 00:06:30,223
>> Billy: Good morning.
127
00:06:30,289 --> 00:06:31,357
Hi. Look at you.
128
00:06:31,424 --> 00:06:32,558
>> Chelsea: Hi.
129
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:34,026
What about me?
130
00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:36,095
>> Billy: Well, you're smiling
and seeing you smile
131
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:37,563
makes me very happy.
132
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,265
>> Chelsea: Oh, well,
that's a very sweet thing
133
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:40,700
to say.
134
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:44,771
>> Billy: And, you know,
Adam was surprisingly civil,
135
00:06:44,837 --> 00:06:47,140
so maybe things are coming up
roses.
136
00:06:47,206 --> 00:06:48,775
How's everything with Connor?
137
00:06:48,841 --> 00:06:50,042
Is that getting any better?
138
00:06:50,109 --> 00:06:52,478
Is he still giving
you the silent treatment?
139
00:06:52,545 --> 00:06:54,947
>> Chelsea: Well, he goes
from being sullen and moody
140
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:57,650
to quiet and withdrawn.
141
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:58,951
I don't know what to do.
142
00:06:59,018 --> 00:07:00,253
I try giving him space.
143
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,790
I try telling him I'm here
if he wants to talk.
144
00:07:03,856 --> 00:07:06,292
I just think I need to come up
with the perfect combination
145
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:08,728
of what to say and how
to say it in order
146
00:07:08,795 --> 00:07:10,229
for him to open up to me.
147
00:07:10,296 --> 00:07:11,297
I mean, Adam's trying, too.
148
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:12,732
Billy, nothing's working.
149
00:07:12,799 --> 00:07:15,234
>> Billy: Well, I know you know
this, but part of it is
150
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:17,270
just his age.
151
00:07:17,336 --> 00:07:19,672
>> Chelsea: I just wanna fix
this for him and I don't know
152
00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:21,607
how to do it.
153
00:07:21,674 --> 00:07:23,843
>> Billy: Well, here's the thing
about what you went through,
154
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:27,213
okay? You showed him that it's
okay to ask for help when you
155
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,516
need it and to talk about
your feelings, okay?
156
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:33,586
So, don't blame yourself
for Connor's normal, if painful
157
00:07:33,653 --> 00:07:35,755
reaction to finding out
he's having a new sibling.
158
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:39,959
He's a bright kid
and he trusts you.
159
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:41,460
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
160
00:07:41,527 --> 00:07:44,096
He's just already been through
so much in his short life.
161
00:07:44,163 --> 00:07:46,532
You know, even navigating
the stuff between Adam and me.
162
00:07:46,599 --> 00:07:48,568
>> Billy: Well, you know what,
that's-- that's always
163
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:52,205
a difficult situation
for parents and for kids.
164
00:07:52,271 --> 00:07:54,273
And he's not even
a teenager yet. Okay?
165
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:55,474
Wait 'til he crashes that party.
166
00:07:55,541 --> 00:07:57,310
He's gonna want even
more distance from you.
167
00:07:57,376 --> 00:08:00,046
Hopefully he's not starting
early.
168
00:08:00,112 --> 00:08:02,815
>> Chelsea: [ sighs ] I just
wanna hold him.
169
00:08:02,882 --> 00:08:06,886
Tell him everything's gonna
be okay. [ sighs ]
170
00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:08,621
But he won't let me.
171
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:14,093
>> Nikki: So, what's going on?
172
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,127
You're not yourself today.
173
00:08:15,194 --> 00:08:16,329
>> Victoria: Oh, no. I'm fine.
174
00:08:16,395 --> 00:08:17,263
I'm fine.
175
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,065
It's just the travel.
176
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:20,132
>> Nikki: Mm-hmm.
177
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,001
But you got back last night.
178
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:26,372
So, why didn't you go
with Nate to Neil's tribute?
179
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,007
>> Victoria: Because Devon
didn't invite me.
180
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:30,610
I assume that he's still
angry that I went after
181
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:31,777
Chancellor-Winters.
182
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:34,213
>> Nikki: But I don't think
that's what's really
183
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,284
bothering you. Something else is
going on and it's not jet lag.
184
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:42,054
Did something happen?
185
00:08:42,121 --> 00:08:43,122
Victoria?
186
00:08:43,189 --> 00:08:45,892
>> Victoria: Okay. Fine.
187
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:50,897
Yes, something did happen.
188
00:08:50,963 --> 00:08:54,767
>> Nikki: Business or personal?
189
00:08:54,834 --> 00:08:57,536
>> Victoria: It started off
as business,
190
00:08:57,603 --> 00:09:06,045
but my relationship with Nate
became much more personal.
191
00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:08,080
>> Sally: Okay. So, great news.
192
00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:11,284
I think I found some
really great candidates
193
00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:14,120
for our ergonomics expert
and I thought maybe we could
194
00:09:14,186 --> 00:09:16,088
meet with them before
presenting a choice to Jill.
195
00:09:16,155 --> 00:09:17,156
>> Chloe: Okay, perfect.
196
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,259
And I've connected with
a marketing and social media
197
00:09:20,326 --> 00:09:24,230
web guru who can get our new
business on the map.
198
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:28,000
>> Sally: Look at us,
firing on all cylinders.
199
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:31,437
>> Chloe: Until Jill kills
our deal.
200
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,839
>> Sally: That's the sunny
optimism we need.
201
00:09:33,906 --> 00:09:35,908
>> Chloe: Well, she's done
it before.
202
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:37,009
>> Sally: Not this time. Okay?
203
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:38,844
I'm sure that Jill
is on our side.
204
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:41,447
[ phone ringing ]
>> Chloe: Is that her?
205
00:09:41,514 --> 00:09:45,084
Is it Jill?
206
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:47,219
>> Sally: Jill, hi.
207
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:48,788
We were just about to call you.
208
00:09:48,854 --> 00:09:51,958
You are going to love our latest
ideas for your Chicago offices
209
00:09:52,024 --> 00:10:01,033
and we actually have
some staffing suggestions that--
210
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,435
>> Chloe: Oh...
211
00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:11,277
>> Elena: It is over.
212
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:15,381
I told Nate he could
go straight to hell.
213
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:19,885
>> Audra: Uh, wow.
214
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:23,789
How are you doing?
215
00:10:23,856 --> 00:10:27,960
>> Elena: Well, I was beyond
furious when I left LA,
216
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:32,765
but now I guess I am just numb.
217
00:10:32,832 --> 00:10:35,401
>> Audra: Do you think you might
forgive Nate
218
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:36,802
for his transgression?
219
00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:38,637
>> Elena: [ chuckles ] No.
220
00:10:38,704 --> 00:10:42,408
There is no going back for us.
221
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:44,844
I couldn't even sleep
in our bed last night.
222
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:46,078
>> Audra: Mm.
223
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:51,951
>> Elena: I packed a suitcase,
left my key, and I walked away.
224
00:10:52,018 --> 00:10:55,254
>> Audra: You know, when you
love someone, um, as much as you
225
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:59,025
seem to love Nate,
you don't just get over it
226
00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:01,093
and forget all the pain.
227
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,331
>> Elena: Even after I left,
I couldn't sleep.
228
00:11:05,398 --> 00:11:09,335
I just kept thinking about
why I put so much energy
229
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,837
into that relationship.
230
00:11:11,904 --> 00:11:14,440
And then it finally occurred
to me that it was because
231
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,475
of what we did to Devon.
232
00:11:16,542 --> 00:11:21,147
I guess I felt like...
233
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:25,651
if my relationship with Nate
wasn't real and lasting,
234
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:27,620
then I hurt Devon for nothing.
235
00:11:27,686 --> 00:11:30,923
>> Audra: No, I'm sure
it wasn't just for nothing.
236
00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:36,095
>> Elena: I put everything I had
into that relationship.
237
00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:39,632
I bent over backwards
making excuses for Nate.
238
00:11:39,698 --> 00:11:42,735
I held on to hope that he would
somehow revert back into the man
239
00:11:42,802 --> 00:11:43,836
that I fell in love with.
240
00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:48,340
But I am done trying to save
Nate from himself.
241
00:11:48,407 --> 00:11:52,478
And I know that none of this
is my fault. It's all on him.
242
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,281
And I've been disappointed
with him since the day
243
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:57,083
that he started working
at Chancellor-Winters.
244
00:11:57,149 --> 00:12:00,486
But now...
245
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:03,923
I'm just disgusted.
246
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:06,325
So, Victoria can have him.
247
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:10,796
In fact,
they deserve each other.
248
00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:15,534
>> Nikki: So, when you say
something more than business,
249
00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:22,541
am I to assume that you--
>> Victoria: Yes, Mom,
250
00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:25,811
you can assume.
251
00:12:25,878 --> 00:12:28,147
>> Nikki: Well, I'm very
surprised to hear that
252
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:30,649
because I thought Nate and Elena
were still together.
253
00:12:30,716 --> 00:12:31,884
>> Victoria: They were.
254
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:34,753
Until she surprised us both
and showed up at the hotel
255
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:36,989
in Los Angeles.
256
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:39,325
Apparently, she sensed
that something was going on,
257
00:12:39,391 --> 00:12:42,328
so Nate confessed.
258
00:12:42,394 --> 00:12:44,563
>> Nikki: So, this has been
going on for a while?
259
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:45,498
>> Victoria: Yes.
260
00:12:45,564 --> 00:12:48,434
This mutual attraction
that we share has been
261
00:12:48,501 --> 00:12:50,302
building for some time.
262
00:12:50,369 --> 00:12:53,806
And you're right,
we have acted on it before
263
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:56,075
this trip to Los Angeles.
264
00:12:56,142 --> 00:12:58,611
>> Nikki: You know, I see
so much of your father in you.
265
00:12:58,677 --> 00:13:02,348
You're taking the same tone
he would have, almost daring
266
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:04,150
anybody who questions
his decisions.
267
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:05,985
>> Victoria: And Dad would
be right in that regard.
268
00:13:06,051 --> 00:13:07,353
This is my life.
269
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:09,288
I know what I feel.
270
00:13:09,355 --> 00:13:12,158
And Nate and I, we tried
very hard to keep things
271
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:15,628
professional, but we can't deny
this connection that we have.
272
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:19,365
And I'm sorry I can't control
what people think about that.
273
00:13:19,431 --> 00:13:20,466
>> Nikki: Okay.
274
00:13:20,533 --> 00:13:21,700
All right. That's fine.
275
00:13:21,767 --> 00:13:24,136
You feel the way you feel.
276
00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:28,140
But exactly what is this
undeniable connection
277
00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:29,341
the two of you share?
278
00:13:29,408 --> 00:13:31,844
And have you taken a moment
to consider how that might
279
00:13:31,911 --> 00:13:33,445
impact the company?
280
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:41,353
>> Nick: Morning, guys.
281
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:44,323
>> Billy: Hey.
282
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,458
>> Nick: Morning, Dad.
283
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:48,894
>> Victor: Hey, son.
284
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:53,399
>> Nick: Just can't
help yourself, can you?
285
00:13:53,465 --> 00:13:55,301
>> Victor: What are you
talking about?
286
00:13:55,367 --> 00:13:58,671
>> Nick: You keep interfering
in Sally's life, but this time
287
00:13:58,737 --> 00:14:00,339
you've gone too far.
288
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:01,540
>> Victor: Really?
289
00:14:01,607 --> 00:14:04,043
>> Nick: Now you don't just
wanna banish her from the family
290
00:14:04,109 --> 00:14:06,078
or Genoa City,
now you wanna take
291
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:07,613
her baby away from her.
292
00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:15,988
>> Sally: Thanks, Jill.
293
00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:17,690
>> Chloe: What did she say?
294
00:14:17,756 --> 00:14:19,358
Was it as bad as it sounded?
295
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:23,429
Have we been fired before
we've even been hired?
296
00:14:23,495 --> 00:14:26,365
>> Sally: So, even though Jill
is still very intrigued
297
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:29,835
by our pitch, she wants to wait.
298
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:33,038
Just Chancellor-Winters has
decided not to take on any large
299
00:14:33,105 --> 00:14:35,975
scale commercial projects
for the foreseeable future.
300
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:40,613
So, good news is it's not a no,
just a not right now.
301
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:43,983
>> Chloe: Well, it's a good
thing I didn't order those
302
00:14:44,049 --> 00:14:45,551
5,000 new desk lamps.
303
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:48,187
[ Sally scoffs ]
So, now what?
304
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:51,457
[ scoffs ] What, are we supposed
to just sit around and wait?
305
00:14:51,523 --> 00:14:53,392
Or are we supposed
to look elsewhere?
306
00:14:53,459 --> 00:14:54,493
>> Sally: I don't know.
307
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,863
We've been so focused
on the potential of this massive
308
00:14:57,930 --> 00:15:02,368
job that we haven't even tried
to pursue any other clients.
309
00:15:02,434 --> 00:15:05,471
I just was really counting
on catching the big fish
310
00:15:05,537 --> 00:15:08,374
and using it as bait to open
countless more doors for us.
311
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,909
>> Chloe: And without it,
we have no portfolio
312
00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:12,544
and no track record to tout.
313
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:15,214
>> Sally: Yeah, unfortunately,
we are back at square one.
314
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:21,654
[ Chloe sighs ]
>> Adam: What's going on?
315
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,824
>> Chloe: Um, okay, well,
I guess I should get going.
316
00:15:25,891 --> 00:15:30,529
Um, you know,
I have to actually pick up some
317
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:34,366
snacks for Miles' class party
anyway.
318
00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:35,768
Just, we'll talk tomorrow.
319
00:15:35,834 --> 00:15:39,305
Okay? And I don't want you
to stress anymore over this,
320
00:15:39,371 --> 00:15:44,176
because we are going to come
back stronger and better
321
00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:45,477
than ever.
322
00:15:45,544 --> 00:15:48,247
How's that for phony optimism?
323
00:15:52,418 --> 00:16:00,859
[ Adam clearing throat ]
>> Adam: How bad is it?
324
00:16:01,427 --> 00:16:04,730
>> Sally: Well, it appears
that I won't have any income
325
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:07,800
coming in anytime soon.
326
00:16:07,866 --> 00:16:10,803
The design job that Chloe
and I were hoping to score
327
00:16:10,869 --> 00:16:12,504
has been postponed indefinitely.
328
00:16:12,571 --> 00:16:16,342
>> Adam: I am sorry
to hear that.
329
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:18,477
Man, that's bad timing.
330
00:16:18,544 --> 00:16:20,412
You would've done great
in the job.
331
00:16:20,479 --> 00:16:23,349
>> Sally: Yeah, I have
a feeling we absolutely
332
00:16:23,415 --> 00:16:24,850
would've killed it.
333
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:27,486
But unfortunately, Chloe and I
put all of our eggs
334
00:16:27,553 --> 00:16:28,987
in one basket.
335
00:16:29,054 --> 00:16:32,925
But at least I still have
some savings to rely on, so...
336
00:16:32,991 --> 00:16:36,462
>> Adam: Okay. I'm not liking
the sound of that.
337
00:16:36,528 --> 00:16:41,367
Once you dip into that,
it's gone forever.
338
00:16:41,433 --> 00:16:44,336
I-- I have another idea.
339
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,171
>> Sally: Okay. Please tell me
you're not talking about
340
00:16:46,238 --> 00:16:47,673
the trust for our daughter,
because there's absolutely
341
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:49,775
no way that I'm gonna accept
that for myself.
342
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,777
>> Adam: No, no. No, you're
misunderstanding me completely.
343
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:53,345
I'm not offering you cash.
344
00:16:53,412 --> 00:16:57,416
I'm offering you a job,
working for me.
345
00:17:05,124 --> 00:17:09,428
[ Nick sighs ]
>> Chelsea: I wonder what
346
00:17:09,495 --> 00:17:10,596
that's about.
347
00:17:10,662 --> 00:17:12,431
>> Billy: [ chuckles ] It's
Victor being Victor, you know?
348
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:14,933
Spreading joy and sunshine
everywhere he goes.
349
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,069
Whatever it is, I think
it's best that we stay
350
00:17:17,136 --> 00:17:18,370
far away from that.
351
00:17:18,437 --> 00:17:20,939
>> Chelsea: Oh, I agree,
wholeheartedly.
352
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:23,609
The last thing I need is Victor
using any of his classic
353
00:17:23,675 --> 00:17:26,612
Victor Newman moves to try to
handle any of my son's issues.
354
00:17:26,678 --> 00:17:28,480
>> Billy: That's a very
good point. You know what?
355
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:30,215
I think I might have
a potential solution
356
00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:31,650
of my own on that matter.
357
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:36,054
What about a-- a classic
distraction for the young man?
358
00:17:36,121 --> 00:17:37,956
>> Chelsea: Like what?
359
00:17:38,023 --> 00:17:40,259
>> Billy: Why don't we plan
another get-together
360
00:17:40,325 --> 00:17:41,326
for Johnny and Connor?
361
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:44,129
You know, our boys always
have a good time together.
362
00:17:44,196 --> 00:17:46,165
They happen to cheer each other
up, which is always good.
363
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:49,301
And it could be a fantastic
reminder for Connor that having
364
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:51,570
a sibling-- not all that bad.
365
00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:53,172
>> Chelsea: I love that idea.
366
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:55,007
Anything to get Connor
out of this funk.
367
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:55,841
>> Billy: Yeah.
368
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,075
>> Chelsea: Hey!
369
00:17:57,142 --> 00:17:58,243
>> Chloe: Hey.
370
00:17:58,310 --> 00:17:59,077
>> Chelsea: Uh-oh.
371
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:01,213
I know that look. What's wrong?
372
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,684
>> Chloe: Oh, a big fat
disappointing setback.
373
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,686
>> Chelsea: What happened?
374
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,255
>> Chloe: Um, Jill's not moving
forward with our project.
375
00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:12,090
And we were on such a roll.
376
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:14,393
We were this close to signing
a deal.
377
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:16,962
>> Billy: I'm sorry to hear
that. Do you, uh-- do you want
378
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:19,231
me to put in a good word
with my mother?
379
00:18:19,298 --> 00:18:21,133
>> Chloe: Um, would that work?
380
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,101
Does she ever listen to you?
381
00:18:23,168 --> 00:18:25,204
>> Billy: First time
for everything.
382
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:29,074
>> Chloe: [ laughs ] Thanks,
but no.
383
00:18:29,141 --> 00:18:32,211
I'm just, you know, gonna try
to look on the bright side.
384
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:36,215
I mean, it's really hard to do
considering the circumstances.
385
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:38,617
I mean, you just think
you're gonna take over
386
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:40,419
the world and everything
just goes, "Pfffft."
387
00:18:40,486 --> 00:18:43,121
>> Chelsea: I know
what you need. A girl's night.
388
00:18:43,188 --> 00:18:44,122
It's been too long.
389
00:18:44,189 --> 00:18:46,925
>> Chloe: [ laughs ] No,
what we need is a girls'
390
00:18:46,992 --> 00:18:48,594
two week vacation--
>> Chelsea: Ah.
391
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:52,498
>> Chloe: But, um, yeah,
I'll settle for a night out.
392
00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:54,066
>> Chelsea: Yeah, you're right.
393
00:18:54,132 --> 00:18:56,602
If I don't leave now,
I'm gonna be late for therapy.
394
00:18:56,668 --> 00:18:58,437
I'm not letting you skate
on a girl's night.
395
00:18:58,504 --> 00:19:01,073
And as for you,
I'll call you later.
396
00:19:01,139 --> 00:19:02,074
>> Billy: Sounds good.
397
00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:03,075
>> Chelsea: Bye.
398
00:19:03,141 --> 00:19:04,109
>> Chloe: Bye.
399
00:19:04,176 --> 00:19:09,214
[ footsteps receding ]
>> Chloe: Well, well, well.
400
00:19:09,281 --> 00:19:13,218
Look at you, Mr. Responsibility.
401
00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:15,254
You've really stepped up.
402
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:20,726
>> Victor: So, that's how
Sally Spectra
403
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:23,061
described our meeting?
404
00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:27,366
That I was ready to kidnap
her child that hasn't
405
00:19:27,432 --> 00:19:28,867
even been born yet?
406
00:19:28,934 --> 00:19:31,436
That's a gross misinterpretation
of what I intended.
407
00:19:31,503 --> 00:19:34,072
>> Nick: We both know
that's not the case.
408
00:19:34,139 --> 00:19:39,244
>> Victor: Do I have to remind
you that we are the Newmans?
409
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:41,813
Do you know how many people over
the past have tried to take
410
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,583
advantage of us, and still do?
411
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:46,818
That's what I'm vigilant
against.
412
00:19:46,885 --> 00:19:48,053
>> Nick: She's having a baby.
413
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,254
That is your defense?
414
00:19:49,321 --> 00:19:51,323
>> Victor: I will not
be taken advantage of.
415
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,759
>> Nick: Okay, so, you're trying
to pay off the mother
416
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:54,726
of your granddaughter.
417
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:56,228
That is an overreaction.
418
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:58,564
But thankfully, Sally told you
she is not for sale.
419
00:19:58,630 --> 00:20:00,165
>> Victor: Huh?
420
00:20:00,232 --> 00:20:02,901
Has it occurred to you
that by turning me down,
421
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:06,572
she was simply angling for,
you know,
422
00:20:06,638 --> 00:20:08,440
something more substantial?
423
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:10,309
Upping the ante, as it were?
424
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:12,344
>> Nick: This is not
a negotiation.
425
00:20:12,411 --> 00:20:14,112
>> Victor: Everything is
negotiable, son.
426
00:20:14,179 --> 00:20:15,247
>> Nick: It's not, Dad.
427
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:18,917
Not this. See, I know you would
never try and take away
428
00:20:18,984 --> 00:20:20,152
a baby from its mother.
429
00:20:20,218 --> 00:20:22,821
>> Victor: From the wrong
mother, I damn well would.
430
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:23,922
>> Nick: No, you wouldn't.
431
00:20:23,989 --> 00:20:26,692
It goes against everything
that you stand for.
432
00:20:26,758 --> 00:20:28,360
This is one of your tests.
433
00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:30,128
But see,
Sally doesn't know that.
434
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:33,465
She thinks it's a legitimate
offer, but she turned you down.
435
00:20:33,532 --> 00:20:35,200
She passed your test.
436
00:20:35,267 --> 00:20:37,669
Leave her and the baby alone.
437
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,144
>> Sally: How am I supposed to
work for you when you don't even
438
00:20:46,211 --> 00:20:47,346
work anywhere yourself?
439
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:51,984
>> Adam: [ scoffs ] I'm talking
about McCall.
440
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:55,287
It's the most appealing offer on
the table for me right now.
441
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:57,889
And if it comes with the added
benefit of providing you
442
00:20:57,956 --> 00:21:00,392
with gainful employment,
what's stopping you from taking
443
00:21:00,459 --> 00:21:01,426
me up on my offer?
444
00:21:01,493 --> 00:21:02,661
>> Sally: Wait, hold on.
445
00:21:02,728 --> 00:21:04,463
An offer?
446
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:07,399
So-- so, you haven't even
accepted, but suddenly you would
447
00:21:07,466 --> 00:21:10,002
if it meant handing me a job?
448
00:21:10,068 --> 00:21:11,103
>> Adam: Okay. Yeah.
449
00:21:11,169 --> 00:21:15,173
It wouldn't all be for you.
450
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,609
I've been leaning in this
direction for quite a while now.
451
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:20,145
I've been giving it some serious
consideration ever since
452
00:21:20,212 --> 00:21:21,279
my dad mentioned it.
453
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:24,182
I mean, I think it's perfect,
especially since I've been
454
00:21:24,249 --> 00:21:25,417
itching for a new challenge.
455
00:21:25,484 --> 00:21:27,319
>> Sally: Don't you think you're
getting a little ahead
456
00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:29,121
of yourself? Because knowing
Victor, the second you say
457
00:21:29,187 --> 00:21:30,756
you're in, he's probably
gonna change his mind.
458
00:21:30,822 --> 00:21:32,157
>> Adam: Okay, it's--
fair assessment,
459
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:33,625
but not this time.
460
00:21:33,692 --> 00:21:36,094
And I know how companies
like McCall work.
461
00:21:36,161 --> 00:21:38,196
There's plenty of positions
that you could fill.
462
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:41,099
You could even be my COO again.
463
00:21:41,166 --> 00:21:44,536
Or how about a in-house design
firm for any and all projects?
464
00:21:44,603 --> 00:21:46,605
>> Sally: Adam--
>> Adam: Look, I know.
465
00:21:46,672 --> 00:21:47,372
Hey, how about this.
466
00:21:47,439 --> 00:21:50,208
You could name your own
position.
467
00:21:50,275 --> 00:21:51,943
You could even bring Chloe
along.
468
00:21:52,010 --> 00:21:54,146
>> Sally: Okay. Look, just--
just slow down. Okay?
469
00:21:54,212 --> 00:21:55,347
This is way too much, too fast.
470
00:21:55,414 --> 00:21:58,216
I just need you to just take
a second and think this through.
471
00:21:58,283 --> 00:21:59,418
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
472
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:02,888
>> Sally: Okay? Because for one
thing, Victor would lose it
473
00:22:02,954 --> 00:22:05,223
if you brought me in.
474
00:22:05,290 --> 00:22:07,225
And if he really is the money
behind the acquisition,
475
00:22:07,292 --> 00:22:09,327
there's absolutely no way
he's gonna want me
476
00:22:09,394 --> 00:22:10,829
anywhere near his new company.
477
00:22:10,896 --> 00:22:12,664
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
478
00:22:12,731 --> 00:22:16,168
>> Sally: Or his sons.
479
00:22:16,234 --> 00:22:19,304
He just got done pushing me
to take a job far away
480
00:22:19,371 --> 00:22:20,906
from Genoa city.
481
00:22:20,972 --> 00:22:22,107
>> Adam: Wait, wait.
482
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,009
My father did what?
483
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:26,311
>> Sally: He offered to set me
up anywhere in the world,
484
00:22:26,378 --> 00:22:28,346
but not here.
485
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:32,184
As long as I left the baby
with him.
486
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:36,121
But he assured me that she was
gonna be taken care of
487
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:38,256
under his watchful eye.
488
00:22:47,899 --> 00:22:50,902
>> "The Young and The Restless"
will continue.
489
00:23:02,848 --> 00:23:07,419
♪♪♪
490
00:23:09,187 --> 00:23:11,223
>> Adam: That's why Victor
called you and he wanted
491
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:12,457
to see you.
492
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:14,559
I knew I should've gone
with you.
493
00:23:14,626 --> 00:23:17,195
>> Sally: Trust me, I handled
it just fine on my own.
494
00:23:17,262 --> 00:23:18,997
>> Adam: I do trust you.
495
00:23:19,064 --> 00:23:20,999
It's him that I have
a problem with.
496
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:23,769
>> Sally: Okay. Just please do
me a favor, okay?
497
00:23:23,835 --> 00:23:25,904
Don't go fanning the flames
by confronting Victor.
498
00:23:25,971 --> 00:23:28,373
The last thing that we need
right now is to wave
499
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,008
a red flag in front of the bull.
500
00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:32,410
Okay? I just had to talk Nick
out of doing the exact
501
00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:33,178
same thing.
502
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,412
>> Adam: Oh, and he listened?
503
00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:35,280
I'm surprised.
504
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:37,048
>> Sally: Yeah, me, too.
505
00:23:37,115 --> 00:23:39,618
But I wouldn't have had to
talk Nick off the walls
506
00:23:39,684 --> 00:23:42,587
if you hadn't tipped him off
to Victor's summons.
507
00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:44,556
>> Adam: Oh, come on.
508
00:23:44,623 --> 00:23:46,892
Give me a little credit for how
I handled things
509
00:23:46,958 --> 00:23:47,959
with my brother.
510
00:23:48,026 --> 00:23:50,362
We actually found some
common ground. Protecting you
511
00:23:50,428 --> 00:23:53,031
and the baby is at the top
of both our priority lists.
512
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:56,868
>> Sally: I appreciate
the impulse, but not the action.
513
00:23:56,935 --> 00:23:59,604
Look, I faced stuff like this
my entire life, okay?
514
00:23:59,671 --> 00:24:01,573
And I'm not gonna pretend
like it still doesn't sting,
515
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,875
but I don't need protection

have to. You should be resting

right now and getting ready
to have--

00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:09,915
>> Sally: I'm not a damsel
in distress, okay?
519
00:24:09,981 --> 00:24:11,049
You don't have to save me.
520
00:24:11,116 --> 00:24:12,984
I've always fought
my own battles.
521
00:24:13,051 --> 00:24:14,152
>> Adam: Right.
522
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:18,990
But now you're not just
fighting for yourself.

like this.

>> Elena: Well, I appreciate
your support.
525
00:24:26,665 --> 00:24:31,403
And I have a lot
of big decisions to make.
526
00:24:31,469 --> 00:24:34,206
But I guess I should
start heading to work.
527
00:24:34,272 --> 00:24:39,077
>> Audra: Uh, and which job
is that? Just asking.
528
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:41,012
>> Elena: The hospital.
529
00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:43,949
I have to make up a shift
that I traded so that I could go
530
00:24:44,015 --> 00:24:45,517
to LA.
531
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:47,085
And I know why you asked.
532
00:24:47,152 --> 00:24:49,554
And no, I don't know
what's gonna happen with
533
00:24:49,621 --> 00:24:51,590

534
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:54,259

imagine it'll be easy working
535

for a company run by
Nate and Victoria.
536

>> Elena: Yeah, you think?
537
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:01,867
>> Audra: Look, but then again,
I don't think you should
538
00:25:01,933 --> 00:25:04,970
turn your back on something
you enjoy, especially when
539
00:25:05,036 --> 00:25:08,073
you're so good at it.
540
00:25:08,139 --> 00:25:10,909
You should walk in there
with your head held high
541
00:25:10,976 --> 00:25:12,210
and knock 'em dead.
542
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:15,614
Yeah. Maybe follow up on
that interview with J.T.
543
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,118
Try and convince him
to-- to come in person.
544
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:27,659
That would be a real slap
in the face to Victoria.

>> Victoria: Mom,
please don't be so worried.

I am still on top of my game
and Nate is as well.
547
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,069
I mean, how could the business
suffer? I-- I'm not gonna let
548
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:41,940
anything interfere with Newman
continuing to flourish.

into a personal relationship

with a man who is fully
ensconced in our business.
551
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,950
I just worry about you being
involved in something like that.
552
00:25:52,017 --> 00:25:52,984
>> Victoria: Involved.
553
00:25:53,051 --> 00:25:54,252
Involved in what?
554
00:25:54,319 --> 00:25:58,456
Nate is a brilliant-- and he's--
he's a charming man.

I'm just saying it sounds
like your relationship

I assure you, I'm fine.

from the Victor Newman playbook.

If you two will excuse me,
I will give you some privacy

of help to get it back on track.
617

I genuinely care about Chelsea.

00:29:37,742 --> 00:29:40,078
The feelings that I have,
they're not out of obligation
633

and I'm not trying to play hero.
634
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,016

You can change and adapt
to this situation at hand.

You changed a lot
after Delia died.

And you've changed even more
because of Chelsea.

00:32:42,026 --> 00:32:43,194
>> Audra: You know, getting J.T.
688
00:32:43,261 --> 00:32:47,465
to do your podcast would be
the perfect move.
689
00:32:47,532 --> 00:32:51,202
I mean, that is if you want some
sweet revenge on Victoria.
690
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:52,670
>> Elena: Hmm.
691
00:32:52,737 --> 00:32:56,207
Certainly something to think
about.
692
00:32:56,274 --> 00:33:00,144
>> Audra: Of course, uh,
you need some time to
693
00:33:00,211 --> 00:33:04,148
regroup and reassess after
all you've been through.
694
00:33:04,215 --> 00:33:06,818
>> Elena: You should
take precautions, too.
695
00:33:06,884 --> 00:33:09,887
If I were you,
I would watch my back.
696
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:12,890
Nate has no loyalties
and he seems to think
697
00:33:12,957 --> 00:33:15,360
he can do no wrong.
698
00:33:15,426 --> 00:33:21,165
So, I wouldn't sleep on
his charming demeanor.
699
00:33:21,232 --> 00:33:22,734
>> Audra: Don't worry.
700
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,402
I won't.
701
00:33:24,469 --> 00:33:26,504
>> Elena: Good luck.
702
00:33:30,608 --> 00:33:34,846
[ door opening, shutting ]
>> Nick: How can you not
703
00:33:40,651 --> 00:33:42,286
be a little affected
breaking up a happy couple
704
00:33:42,353 --> 00:33:43,421
like Nate and Elena?
705
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:44,489
>> Victoria: Oh, God.
706
00:33:44,555 --> 00:33:47,125
What makes you so sure
that they were all that happy
707
00:33:47,191 --> 00:33:47,859
in the first place?
708
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:50,228
>> Nick: It's not the point.
709
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:53,231
>> Victoria: Fine, you're right.
710
00:33:53,297 --> 00:33:55,666
I take no pleasure
in Elena's pain.
711
00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:57,235
>> Nick: Then why'd you do it?
712
00:33:57,301 --> 00:34:00,238
I warned you, going on this trip
with Nate was a mistake.
713
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:02,707
You must have known how risky
it was gonna be,
714
00:34:02,774 --> 00:34:05,143
but it's almost like
you got exactly what you wanted.
715
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:06,177
>> Victoria: You know...
716
00:34:06,244 --> 00:34:08,146
[ laughs ] I'm really not up
for a lecture from you
717
00:34:08,212 --> 00:34:10,815
right now. Besides, think of how
many times you told me to stay
718
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:13,851
out of your relationship
with Sally. This is my life.
719
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:15,820
It's my decision. So, back off.
720
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:18,189
Okay?
721
00:34:18,256 --> 00:34:19,690
>> Nick: Sure.
722
00:34:19,757 --> 00:34:21,559
But you're forgetting one
important difference
723
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:23,928
between the two situations.
724
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:25,229
>> Victoria: And what is that?
725
00:34:25,296 --> 00:34:27,231
>> Nick: Well, Sally,
thanks to you, is no longer
726
00:34:27,298 --> 00:34:28,533
a part of Newman Enterprises.
727
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,202
Nate, on the other hand,
also thanks to you,
728
00:34:31,269 --> 00:34:32,537
is a very big part of it.
729
00:34:32,603 --> 00:34:35,406
Vic, I'm the COO of this
company.
730
00:34:35,473 --> 00:34:36,407
That makes it my business.
731
00:34:36,474 --> 00:34:38,709
I trust the guy even less
than I did before.
732
00:34:38,776 --> 00:34:40,912
If he's not gonna be loyal
to the woman he lives with
733
00:34:40,978 --> 00:34:43,581
or to his own family,
what makes you think he's gonna
734
00:34:43,648 --> 00:34:49,520
be loyal to you
or to this company?
735
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:56,727
>> Victor: Well, son,
now that we've decided that you
736
00:34:56,794 --> 00:35:03,801
will be the new CEO
of my newly acquired company,
737
00:35:03,868 --> 00:35:06,337
let me ask you,
how do you intend to proceed
738
00:35:06,404 --> 00:35:07,438
at McCall?
739
00:35:07,505 --> 00:35:10,374
>> Adam: Well, that's not really
your business, is it?
740
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:13,978
I have everything well in hand,
including the announcement
741
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:15,012
of my new position.
742
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:17,248
I wrote it last night,
so it'll be out later today.
743
00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:18,483
>> Victor: I'll be damned.
744
00:35:18,549 --> 00:35:19,450
Really?
745
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:21,719
>> Adam: And I'm glad
that you are exhibiting
746
00:35:21,786 --> 00:35:24,188
such great faith in me,
because I've already made
747
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,257
another major decision.
748
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:30,228
I've offered Sally
a job of her choosing.
749
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:32,363
>> Victor: Huh?
750
00:35:32,430 --> 00:35:33,564
You think you should do that?
751
00:35:33,631 --> 00:35:38,169
>> Adam: Well, as we agreed,
I will not be dictated to,
752
00:35:38,236 --> 00:35:40,004
and this is non-negotiable.
753
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:42,373
I will not allow you to
override me on this.
754
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,575
I expect you to stand back
and let me staff up this
755
00:35:44,642 --> 00:35:46,410
company as I see fit.
756
00:35:46,477 --> 00:35:48,246
>> Victor: But why her?
757
00:35:48,312 --> 00:35:49,814
>> Adam: Doesn't matter.
758
00:35:49,881 --> 00:35:53,317
Sally comes to work
for McCall or you can find
759
00:35:53,384 --> 00:35:55,086
yourself another CEO.
