00:00:05,038 --> 00:00:07,807
>> Victoria: Well, we are back
to back meetings today,
2
00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:10,176
so I hope you got
a good night's rest.
3
00:00:10,243 --> 00:00:12,779
>> Nate: I had a good night,
but it had nothing to do
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:15,782
with sleep.
>> Victoria: I'd like you
5
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:18,284
to accompany me on several
of these meetings,
6
00:00:18,351 --> 00:00:20,854
including Brock this afternoon.
>> Nate: With
7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,057
the decarbonization company.
He's pitching a merger?
8
00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:26,426
>> Victoria: Mm-hmm.
I would prefer it
9
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:28,695
be an acquisition.
>> Nate: Same page.
10
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:31,598
>> Victoria: Yes, well the board
is giving me some pushback.
11
00:00:31,664 --> 00:00:35,635
They think it's too risky.
>> Nate: The risk is undeniable,
12
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:39,906
the downside is very real,
but why not be ahead
13
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:43,476
of the pack?
>> Victoria: Yes.
14
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:48,982
Big. Bold.
No limits. No safety nets.
15
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:52,852
Have I told you lately how much
I like the way you think?
16
00:00:52,919 --> 00:00:55,889
It's like talking to myself,
but it's much more fun.
17
00:00:55,955 --> 00:01:00,894
[ both laughing ]
Hey, I have an idea.
18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,530
Why don't you take
the Babcock meeting
19
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:06,433
this afternoon?
The CFO can be a little,
20
00:01:06,499 --> 00:01:09,669
you know, hard-headed,
but I'm sure it's something
21
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:13,039
you can handle.
You could also head up
22
00:01:13,106 --> 00:01:15,208
the marketing team
status conference?
23
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:20,914
I think they could definitely
use some fresh ideas in there.
24
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:24,217
[ laughs ]
What?
25
00:01:24,284 --> 00:01:25,952
>> Nate: Those are very high
profile.
26
00:01:26,019 --> 00:01:29,189
>> Victoria: You're onboard
as the interim COO.
27
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:32,392
I don't see why that would be
particularly unusual.
28
00:01:32,459 --> 00:01:35,028
>> Nate: But we both know
how a lot of people feel
29
00:01:35,094 --> 00:01:40,667
about me stepping in for Nick.
And me sitting in your chair.
30
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:43,636
You're making a hell
of a statement with this move.
31
00:01:43,703 --> 00:01:47,540
>> Victoria: I know.
And I don't care.
32
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:53,146
>> Audra: Soy latte, huh?
I pegged you for a double
33
00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:57,550
macchiato kind of guy.
>> Kyle: I like to mix it up.
34
00:01:57,617 --> 00:02:00,887
>> Audra: I remember.
>> Kyle: You excited?
35
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,655
Today's the big day.
Taking on the role
36
00:02:02,722 --> 00:02:07,160
of CEO of Newman Media.
>> Audra: Acting CEO.
37
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:09,562
The position is mine only
as long as Nate is needed
38
00:02:09,629 --> 00:02:12,499
to fill in
for your father-in-law
39
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:15,368
at Newman Enterprises.
>> Kyle: I wonder how Nick
40
00:02:15,435 --> 00:02:19,172
feels about that?
>> Audra: I mean, he just went
41
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:21,307
through hell.
You know, I appreciate
42
00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:24,677
Victoria looking out for Nick.
Giving him time
43
00:02:24,744 --> 00:02:27,080
and space to regroup.
>> Kyle: Looking out for him
44
00:02:27,146 --> 00:02:30,383
by replacing him.
>> Audra: Uh, sounds
45
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:34,821
like you have an issue.
>> Kyle: Let's just say
46
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:38,825
I am very familiar
with how the Newman family
47
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:40,927
takes care of their own
and it doesn't always have
48
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:42,896
a whole lot to do with love.

for your loss.

57

That box from Cameron
has me freaked out.

Everything I thought
I was moving on from
59
00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:48,094
is front and center again.
The idea of going to work,
60
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:51,197
how would I ever focus?
How's Sally?

her that she should stay home,

get some rest.
I'll go and check on her

just as soon as I make sure
you're settled.
64
00:03:59,505 --> 00:04:02,508
>> Sharon: How could I ever
feel settled with everything
65
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:05,678
this maniac has
hanging over me?
66
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:10,583
Even from beyond the grave.
What if there's
67
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:15,288
another box, Nick?
And another, and another?
68
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:19,392
This guy is in my head
and I hate him for it.

00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:21,661
>> Nick: It could be
the end of it, you know.

His last gasp.
>> Sharon: It's hard to believe
71
00:04:25,965 --> 00:04:29,736
there will ever be an end
to Cameron in my life.
72
00:04:29,802 --> 00:04:33,072
Leaving me his company?
It's like he knew
73
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:35,475
he was going to die
and he thought of everything
74
00:04:35,541 --> 00:04:39,312
he could to stay in my life.
>> Nick: He was one twisted
75
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:43,216
son of a bitch.
>> Sharon: I hope
76
00:04:43,282 --> 00:04:45,018
he's burning in hell.
77
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:55,028
>> Nate: So you know...
I am totally prepped
78
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:57,397
to spearhead
the Babcock meeting.
79
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:00,867
Not just their financials.
And you're right about the CFO.
80
00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:03,603
I had done some digging
and found some inside
81
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:07,974
information about the guy.
Likes, dislikes, quirks.
82
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:10,443
And he's got some doozies.
So, I'll proceed
83
00:05:10,510 --> 00:05:13,780
with those in mind.
>> Victoria: Why am I not
84
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:15,948
surprised that you've
already done research?
85
00:05:16,015 --> 00:05:17,817
>> Nate: Because you know
I'll always have your back.
86
00:05:17,884 --> 00:05:20,887
So, of course,
I know what's on your calendar.
87
00:05:20,953 --> 00:05:24,123
I've been gathering intel
so you'd be well armed.
88
00:05:24,190 --> 00:05:29,228
>> Victoria: Excellent.
>> Nate: To have the power
89
00:05:29,295 --> 00:05:33,766
to change the course
of this company...
90
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:39,272
lives...
the future.
91
00:05:39,338 --> 00:05:45,578
It's intoxicating.
Almost as intoxicating
92
00:05:45,645 --> 00:05:49,315
as the way you're looking
at me right now.
93
00:05:57,223 --> 00:05:59,625
>> Audra: That sounded like
you've gone a few rounds
94
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:04,731
with a Newman or two.
>> Kyle: Hm, more than a few.
95
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:06,699
I don't have a problem
with most of them.
96
00:06:06,766 --> 00:06:09,969
Strong personalities,
driven, know what they want.
97
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:12,805
But when somebody crosses a line
and somebody always does,
98
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:16,309
things can get pretty extreme.
>> Audra: Well, coloring inside
99
00:06:16,375 --> 00:06:19,112
the lines never got
anybody anywhere.
100
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:22,682
>> Kyle: Yeah, well,
for the Newman family,
101
00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:24,717
collateral damage is just part
of the game, as long
102
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:27,520
as they get what they want.
>> Audra: That fire can
103
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:31,824
be productive.
Or it can burn you.
104
00:06:31,891 --> 00:06:34,026
>> Kyle: Speaking
from experience?
105
00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:36,429
>> Audra: Ah, let's just say
I've been singed
106
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:39,732
more than a few times.
>> Kyle: You look like
107
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:43,870
you recovered.
>> Audra: Yeah, you know, I--
108
00:06:43,936 --> 00:06:47,573
I used to let it get to me.
I'd obsess
109
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,011
over what could have been,
should have been.
110
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:55,815
But blew up.
Maybe my fault.
111
00:06:55,882 --> 00:06:59,385
You know, maybe not.
Then, you know,
112
00:06:59,452 --> 00:07:02,789
working with Tucker McCall,
you know, he was hardcore.
113
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:06,559
Nothing would get in his way
before he went all zen.
114
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:09,896
At first I thought
that made him soft, but then,
115
00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:13,199
you know, I realized that...
that's just given him
116
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:18,571
more focus.
Know what you want,
117
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:23,176
hone in on it
and the universe rewards you.
118
00:07:23,242 --> 00:07:27,113
>> Kyle: So, you play nice
and you get to go to the front
119
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:29,949
of the line?
>> Audra: I didn't say anything
120
00:07:30,016 --> 00:07:34,287
about playing nice.
>> Kyle: Hm.
121
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:37,824
>> Adam: Thank you
for the condolences,
122
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:39,992
but given your husband's
feelings for Sally,
123
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:41,394
you'll understand
if your sympathies feel
124
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:44,897
a bit disingenuous.
>> Nikki: Adam, I am speaking
125
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:49,468
to you as a fellow parent
who has experienced loss.
126
00:07:49,535 --> 00:07:55,875
And it is unimaginable.
The emptiness is overwhelming.
127
00:07:55,942 --> 00:07:58,177
Your vision of your future
with your child
128
00:07:58,244 --> 00:08:00,913
has been taken from you.
>> Adam: Taken from me?
129
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:03,249
No, no. Ask Sally.
This was my choice.
130
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:05,651
Our little girl is dead
because of me.
131
00:08:05,718 --> 00:08:08,588
>> Nikki: That is not true.
>> Adam: Well, it is to Sally
132
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:10,590
and she hates me for it.
I mean, our little girl
133
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:12,992
didn't even get
to take a breath because of me.
134
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:16,629
>> Nikki: Adam, it was
an impossible choice.
135
00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:19,065
>> Adam: But, I mean, you can't
be surprised that I screwed up,
136
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:23,135
right? 'Cause I'm no hero,
I'm not like Nicholas.
137
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:27,240
>> Nikki: You saved her life.
>> Adam: Well, apparently,
138
00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:29,642
that doesn't count.
>> Nikki: Yes, of course
139
00:08:29,709 --> 00:08:32,411
it does.
And thank God you did.
140
00:08:32,478 --> 00:08:35,214
>> Adam: God?
God doesn't factor
141
00:08:35,281 --> 00:08:37,850
into this equation
because any god who makes
142
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,086
someone choose between mother
and child isn't a god
143
00:08:40,152 --> 00:08:43,589
that I believe in.
>> Nikki: You're angry
144
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:47,293
and that's understandable,
but you cannot
145
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,229
let it consume you.
>> Adam: I don't know.
146
00:08:50,296 --> 00:08:52,298
It seems to be
my comfort zone these days.
147
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,100
But, Nikki,
if you will excuse me.
148
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:59,839
>> Nikki: Adam, listen. Listen.
You have a bright, wonderful son
149
00:08:59,906 --> 00:09:02,942
who needs you
and you have people
150
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:08,514
who care about you.
I hope you can hold onto that.
151
00:09:15,288 --> 00:09:20,693
>> Sharon: I go to sleep
and Cameron is in my dreams.
152
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,463
I wake up and I flinch
at every little noise.
153
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:27,900
I worry about every delivery.
And Faith,
154
00:09:27,967 --> 00:09:29,902
it takes everything in me
not to call her
155
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:33,306
every hour on the hour
to make sure that she's okay.
156
00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:36,175
>> Nick: Yeah, I'm right there
with you. But I'm worried
157
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,010
about you too, Sharon.
You can say you're fine
158
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:40,313
and that you're processing it
and that there's nothing
159
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:43,382
for me to worry about,
but that ends now.
160
00:09:43,449 --> 00:09:52,925
Tell me what's going on.
>> Sharon: I killed that man.
161
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:58,331
And I watched him die.
It still haunts me.
162
00:09:58,397 --> 00:10:00,399
>> Nick: You did what you had
to do to save
163
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:04,437
your daughter's life.
To save all of us.
164
00:10:04,503 --> 00:10:07,473
>> Sharon: I know.
And I don't regret that.
165
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:11,344
How could I?
But it still pushes me
166
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:16,882
to places I don't want to go.
I just want to stop seeing

and I don't know how
168
00:10:19,719 --> 00:10:21,554
to make that happen.
And I am so angry
169
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:24,790
that this bastard
has this much control
170
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:28,995

How do I move on?

I'm here.

185
00:12:41,393 --> 00:12:44,330
that I would like to expand
is to grow our global

now that my kids are gonna
be away at boarding school,
192
00:13:01,747 --> 00:13:03,349

this fall to do

All good. I need to prep

to keep Nicholas away from
Newman Enterprises for good?

I'm not boxing Nick out.

that you dissolved
Nicholas' support team.

Now he has barely stepped away,
on your orders, temporarily,

You have to stay one step ahead.

But this doesn't feel
246
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:01,427

It feels personal.

his team doesn't see Adam
or McCall as a threat.

Nate is willing to go
up against McCall.

that I'm looking for in my COO.

retaliation because

267

that Cameron's dead

00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:38,937
Perfect time to live in the now.
>> Audra: If you're gonna
328
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:42,374
ask me something,
you should just ask me.
329
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:54,052
>> Announcer: The Young and the
Restless will continue.
330
00:21:13,071 --> 00:21:16,108
>> Kyle: We don't have time
for what I want to ask you.
331
00:21:16,174 --> 00:21:19,444
>> Audra: Good.
Because the answer would be no.
332
00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:23,348
>> Kyle: Oh, the big meeting.
>> Audra: Lots of them.
333
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:27,085
>> Kyle: Okay.
How about later?
334
00:21:27,152 --> 00:21:31,356
>> Audra: You are so--
>> Kyle: Charming?
335
00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:34,159
Irresistible?
>> Audra: Relentless.
336
00:21:34,226 --> 00:21:39,498
>> Kyle: I'll take it.
>> Audra: Put in your number.
337
00:21:39,564 --> 00:21:43,602
If I have time,
I'll call you.
338
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:50,342
>> Kyle: If you have time.
There you go.
339
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:53,512
>> Audra: Don't get
your hopes up.
340
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:59,184
>> Kyle: You'll call.
>> Audra: Oh.
341
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:05,891
[ Audra chuckling ]
>> Victor: I gotta tell you,
342
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:12,464
I am deeply sympathetic
and so is Nikki
343
00:22:12,531 --> 00:22:15,701
to both of you and Sally.
Loss of a child
344
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:18,203
is just unimaginable.
>> Adam: If you say
345
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:20,639
it's better this way
or if everything happens
346
00:22:20,706 --> 00:22:23,141
for a reason, I'm out of here.
>> Victor: Son, I'm just here
347
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:26,178
to find out how you're coping.
And I wanna know if there's
348
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:30,849
anything we can do to help you.
>> Adam: [ sighing ] I'm--
349
00:22:30,916 --> 00:22:33,752
I'm good.
>> Victor: No, you're not.
350
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:35,654
Be honest with me.
You and Sally are going
351
00:22:35,721 --> 00:22:38,623
through hell right now.
>> Adam: The only time
352
00:22:38,690 --> 00:22:40,959
you've said Sally's name
was like a curse.
353
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:43,862
So, now you care about Sally?
>> Victor: Son, I wouldn't
354
00:22:43,929 --> 00:22:47,933
wish this on anyone.
Not on my worst enemy.
355
00:22:47,999 --> 00:22:52,671
And I saw the joy on her face,
and the joy on your face,
356
00:22:52,738 --> 00:22:55,073
anticipating the birth
of your child.
357
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:56,675
>> Adam: Well, good news
for you,
358
00:22:56,742 --> 00:22:59,611
she never wants to see me again.
So, I guess
359
00:22:59,678 --> 00:23:02,748
you can take the win
on this one, okay?
360
00:23:02,814 --> 00:23:05,650
Nikki already gave me
the "don't be angry" talk.
361
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:08,787
She said let it go.
Focus on Connor.
362
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:11,957
On the people who love me.
I mean, what a laugh
363
00:23:12,023 --> 00:23:14,960
that is, right?
Not exactly a popular guy
364
00:23:15,026 --> 00:23:18,663
these days. I mean, not ever,
come to think about it.
365
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:22,734
But at least
I have my work, right?
366
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:29,374
Is that where I should
thank you?
367
00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:33,779
>> Victor: I don't want
you to thank me.
368
00:23:33,845 --> 00:23:37,983
I'm here to tell you
how to best get over your grief.
369
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,751
You should throw
all of your energies,
370
00:23:39,818 --> 00:23:43,622
all of your mental capacity
into building McCall
371
00:23:43,688 --> 00:23:45,357
into the powerhouse
it can be.
372
00:23:45,423 --> 00:23:47,459
>> Adam: Yes.
And the potential's there.
373
00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:49,027
>> Victor: Yes.
>> Adam: So, first,
374
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:51,930
we clean house.
And anyone who is loyal
375
00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:54,366
to Tucker's gonna get
a severance package.
376
00:23:54,432 --> 00:23:56,635
And then we're gonna focus
on infrastructure.
377
00:23:56,701 --> 00:23:58,670
The entertainment divisions
are gonna stay. Anything else
378
00:23:58,737 --> 00:24:00,639
is gonna be jettisoned and
We're gonna use that profit
379
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:03,942
to focus
on horizontal diversification.
380
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:09,047
Specifically,
the media divisions.
381
00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:13,018
>> Victor: So, you're gonna go
after Newman.
382
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:16,188
>> Adam: It's good to have
goals, right?
383
00:24:16,254 --> 00:24:17,923
>> Victor: That doesn't mean
that you go after
384
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:20,859
the Newman Media division.
>> Adam: I built that company.
385
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:25,630
I made it. And I want it back.
>> Victor: Is that what
386
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:27,666
this is about?
>> Adam: Pretty much.
387
00:24:27,732 --> 00:24:29,601
>> Victor: Or, is it about you
wanting to recapture
388
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:32,704
the wonderful days you had
with Sally at Newman Media?
389
00:24:32,771 --> 00:24:34,739
Hm?
>> Adam: I appreciate
390
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:36,842
the armchair analysis,
but this is strictly
391
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:38,443
about business.
>> Victor: Let me
392
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:40,445
tell you something.
Trying to recapture
393
00:24:40,512 --> 00:24:43,748
those days is a mistake.
And so is
394
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:47,118
attacking Newman Media.
>> Adam: I think that it
395
00:24:47,185 --> 00:24:56,962
is brilliant.
>> Victor: My boy...
396
00:24:57,028 --> 00:25:03,535
Newman Media is part
of the Newman family portfolio.
397
00:25:03,602 --> 00:25:09,174
Don't mess with that.
>> Nick: So, you're interested
398
00:25:09,241 --> 00:25:11,877
in Cameron's company?
>> Sharon: Not so much
399
00:25:11,943 --> 00:25:16,181
his company.
>> Nick: You lost me.
400
00:25:16,248 --> 00:25:18,316
>> Sharon: What I could do
with it.
401
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:20,752
Kirsten Incorporated
is a tech company.
402
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:24,222
It must have assets
and some capital, right?
403
00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:26,224
>> Nick: I'm sure it has
some value.
404
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:29,527
Unless it imploded during
Kirsten's years in prison.
405
00:25:29,594 --> 00:25:32,197
>> Sharon: What if I could take
that value
406
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:34,566
and make something good
out of this nightmare?
407
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:37,202
There has to be something
that I can do with this
408
00:25:37,269 --> 00:25:40,338
that would make
a difference in people's lives.
409
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:42,641
Either turning a profit
with the company or maybe
410
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:45,510
selling it out right.
Donating all the proceeds
411
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,179
to charity.
>> Nick: I like the sound
412
00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:52,784
of that.
>> Sharon: Who knows?
413
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:57,822
Maybe if I take control
of Cameron's company,
414
00:25:57,889 --> 00:26:02,193
I take back the power
he has over me and my life.
415
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:05,630
My actions, my reactions.
Instead of running away
416
00:26:05,697 --> 00:26:08,700
from who Cameron was
and what he did,
417
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:12,003
I will transform that hate
and anger and fear
418
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,573
into an opportunity
to help people.
419
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,210
>> Nick: You just thought
of that right now?
420
00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:22,013
>> Sharon: Maybe I've been
thinking about it
421
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,817
for a long time.
You know, the past few years
422
00:26:25,884 --> 00:26:29,688
have made me consider
what I want out of my life.
423
00:26:29,754 --> 00:26:32,791
What my purpose is.
And Rey was an influence
424
00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:35,093
in that.
You know, he always made
425
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,696
the right choice,
even if it was unpopular.
426
00:26:37,762 --> 00:26:40,065
He wanted to make a difference
every single day
427
00:26:40,131 --> 00:26:43,234
and he did so.
And now I want that.
428
00:26:43,301 --> 00:26:46,104
I'm ready for that.
And you're right.
429
00:26:46,171 --> 00:26:48,440
It has everything
to do with love.
430
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:53,144
I have been so blessed
all my life with so much love.
431
00:26:53,211 --> 00:26:56,648
Such an amazing support system
of friends and family
432
00:26:56,715 --> 00:26:59,317
who have been there for me
through everything.
433
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:01,720
Battling cancer,
learning how to live
434
00:27:01,786 --> 00:27:08,493
with bipolar and now...
this horror with Cameron.
435
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:15,300
As much as he terrorized me,
maybe the gift of this nightmare
436
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:18,069
is that I have found
the strength
437
00:27:18,136 --> 00:27:24,042
that I'd forgotten I have.
>> Nick: I think you're one
438
00:27:24,109 --> 00:27:30,682
of the strongest people I know.
>> Sharon: Well, I lost myself.
439
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:32,684
For a little while there,
I did some things,
440
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:37,222
I hurt some people,
but I own that.
441
00:27:37,288 --> 00:27:38,857
And those things
made me who I am,
442
00:27:38,923 --> 00:27:46,264
but they are not all I am.
And maybe this...
443
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:53,772
is a gift.
It's time for a new direction.
444
00:27:53,838 --> 00:27:55,640
It's time for a new future.
445
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:03,948
>> Victoria: How could you
bring up Ashland?
446
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:05,750
>> Nikki: It seems very
appropriate given
447
00:28:05,817 --> 00:28:08,787
the circumstances.
>> Victoria: My god, Mom!
448
00:28:08,853 --> 00:28:10,855
Every time I do something
that you and Dad
449
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:12,390
don't approve of,
it's like you throw
450
00:28:12,457 --> 00:28:14,659
that name at me!
It's almost like you enjoy
451
00:28:14,726 --> 00:28:16,561
rubbing that awful mistake
in my face.
452
00:28:16,628 --> 00:28:18,563
>> Nikki: The only reason
I mentioned it was to try
453
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:22,000
to get through to you.
>> Victoria: Well,
454
00:28:22,067 --> 00:28:25,070
[ sighing ] message received.
If there's nothing else,
455
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:28,073
I have a very full day today.
>> Nikki: Victoria,
456
00:28:28,139 --> 00:28:32,577
I am just trying to understand.
You've forced Nicholas
457
00:28:32,644 --> 00:28:35,013
to take a leave of absence
he doesn't want,
458
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,451
you got rid of his staff
and now you seem to be preparing
459
00:28:39,517 --> 00:28:41,686
for and all-out war with Adam.
>> Victoria: A war
460
00:28:41,753 --> 00:28:43,254
that he's starting.
>> Nikki: You have
461
00:28:43,321 --> 00:28:46,324
a responsibility to the board,
young lady, and the family.
462
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,359
>> Victoria: I know that!
>> Nikki: Oh, do you?
463
00:28:48,426 --> 00:28:52,363
You've alienated Nicholas,
you're going after Adam.
464
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,165
And Nate is just
cheering you on.
465
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:56,000
>> Victoria: Nate is
supporting me.
466
00:28:56,067 --> 00:28:58,470
Which is a lot more than I can
say about my own family
467
00:28:58,536 --> 00:29:00,405
right now!
>> Nikki: How do you think
468
00:29:00,472 --> 00:29:01,973
your father is going
to react to this?
469
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,908
>> Victoria: If he would listen
me instead of jumping
470
00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:05,677
to conclusions and judging me,
maybe we could have
471
00:29:05,743 --> 00:29:09,380
a conversation about it.
>> Nate: Sorry to interrupt.
472
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:13,451
The meeting with Babcock is set.
I wanted to brief you.
473
00:29:13,518 --> 00:29:15,353
And you, Nikki, as well,
Of course.
474
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:18,556
>> Nikki: I have work to do.
Victoria can fill me in.
475
00:29:18,623 --> 00:29:27,398
Excuse me.
>> Nate: Your mother's not
476
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:31,803
too pleased with the changes.
>> Victoria: Well, if you're not
477
00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:34,272
pissing people off,
then you're not doing it right.
478
00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:38,610
[ knocking at door ]
Come in.
479
00:29:38,676 --> 00:29:41,613
>> Audra: Hi, I know you're
crazy busy, but I wanted
480
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:43,681
to give you an update
on some new directives
481
00:29:43,748 --> 00:29:46,417
that I want to put in place
for, uh, Newman Media.
482
00:29:46,484 --> 00:29:49,854
Building off of Nate's plans.
>> Nate: Time for
483
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,689
a quick meeting?
>> Victoria: Sure.
484
00:29:51,756 --> 00:29:54,792
I don't see why not.
Let's see what you've
485
00:29:54,859 --> 00:29:59,664
learned from your boss.
>> Adam: Look, I'm your son,
486
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:02,534
I'm not your puppet.
>> Victor: I'm concerned
487
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,870
about you.
>> Adam: Well, you shouldn't be,
488
00:30:05,937 --> 00:30:08,339
okay? I'm fine.
Especially if people
489
00:30:08,406 --> 00:30:11,509
stop telling me
how to act, how to feel,
490
00:30:11,576 --> 00:30:14,045
what to think, okay?
Because I've never been
491
00:30:14,112 --> 00:30:17,081
clearer on what I want
and how to get it.
492
00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:21,319
>> Victor: Son, you're running
on emotions.
493
00:30:21,386 --> 00:30:24,489
That's not a good thing.
When you're trying to rebuild
494
00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:27,392
a company into the powerhouse
that it can be.
495
00:30:27,458 --> 00:30:29,761
Let me give you
a piece of advice.
496
00:30:29,827 --> 00:30:31,963
Whenever you make
a business decision,
497
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:34,732
keep emotions out of it.
>> Adam: Okay, well, thank you
498
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:37,569
for the advice that
I didn't need,
499
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:42,574
but I'm gonna run McCall
the way that I see fit.
500
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,878
[ Victor sighing ]
>> Victor: Always
501
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:50,014
a smart Alec, right?
I offered to be
502
00:30:50,081 --> 00:30:53,518
your sounding board.
I offered for you
503
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:56,821
to take advantage
of the vast experience I have
504
00:30:56,888 --> 00:31:06,998
in building companies.
That can change in an instant.
505
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:13,571
Don't forget that.
>> Adam: So, are you
506
00:31:13,638 --> 00:31:16,774
threatening me, now?
>> Victor: You take that
507
00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:22,046
any way you want.
But I'm telling you...
508
00:31:22,113 --> 00:31:26,251
I'm not your enemy.
I'm the biggest supporter
509
00:31:26,317 --> 00:31:30,989
you have.
Don't mess with it.
510
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:57,782
>> Kyle: Gerard?
It's Kyle Abbott.
511
00:31:57,849 --> 00:31:59,684
I'd like to have
some flowers delivered.
512
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:04,689
No! No, not to Marchetti.
These are for an Audra Charles.
513
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,191
She's staying
at the Athletic Club.
514
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:12,030
Uh, I'm thinking...
something a little wild
515
00:32:12,096 --> 00:32:16,234
and gorgeous,
unique.
516
00:32:16,301 --> 00:32:21,339
That sounds good.
And the note, um...
517
00:32:21,406 --> 00:32:24,542
"From one overachiever
to another,
518
00:32:24,609 --> 00:32:27,145
thanks for showing me
your moves."
519
00:32:27,211 --> 00:32:30,748
No-- no name.
She'll know.
520
00:32:30,815 --> 00:32:37,588
Oh, Gerrard. Um...
I'd like some earrings as well.
521
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:41,359
I'm thinking diamonds.
Yes.
522
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:47,865
Just charge it to my account.
Thanks.
523

[ Kyle sighing ]
524
00:32:53,738 --> 00:32:56,307
>> Victoria: You have really
done your homework.
525
00:32:56,374 --> 00:32:58,209
Not that I would expect
anything less.
526
00:32:58,276 --> 00:33:01,079
>> Nate: Out of the park, Audra.
I'm looking forward
527
00:33:01,145 --> 00:33:04,482
to these next steps.
>> Audra: I plan
528
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:07,251
to blow you away.
All right, well,
529
00:33:07,318 --> 00:33:09,921
I have the Crawford Pictures
meeting to prep for,
530
00:33:09,987 --> 00:33:12,990
but I'll keep you updated.
>> Nate: Thank you again
531
00:33:13,057 --> 00:33:15,093
for taking
on those negotiations.
532
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:18,696
They are going to love you.
>> Audra: That's the goal.
533
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:20,598
>> Victoria: Good work, Audra.
Thank you.
534
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:29,173
>> Audra: Thank you.
>> Nate: That one is gold.
535
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,778
The fire, the energy, the drive.
And the creativity?
536
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:36,347
I couldn't ask for a better
acting CEO at Newman Media.
537
00:33:36,414 --> 00:33:38,082
>> Victoria: Well,
she's definitely on the top
538
00:33:38,149 --> 00:33:40,084
of her game,
but she's only there
539
00:33:40,151 --> 00:33:44,422
because you put her there.
>> Nate: I am very excited
540
00:33:44,489 --> 00:33:46,624
for this next phase
of Newman Media
541
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:52,630
and Newman Enterprises.
I think the restructuring
542
00:33:52,697 --> 00:33:57,502
will make all the difference.
>> Victoria: And with Audra
543
00:33:57,568 --> 00:34:00,671
doing so beautifully
at Newman Media,
544
00:34:00,738 --> 00:34:03,341
we are free to focus
on making sure that McCall
545
00:34:03,408 --> 00:34:08,246
is nothing but misery for Adam.
>> Nikki: Oh, I hope
546
00:34:08,312 --> 00:34:10,248
I'm not interrupting.
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
547
00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:12,183
>> Nikki: Hi.
>> Adam: Uh, no.
548
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,920
We just finished.
Good chat.
549
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:22,093
>> Victor: All right, son.
>> Adam: As always.
550
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,128
>> Nikki: Well, I'm glad
you were able to catch up
551
00:34:24,195 --> 00:34:31,803
with Adam. How was he?
[ Victor exhaling ]
552
00:34:31,869 --> 00:34:35,807
>> Victor: He's stuffing down
his anger and his grief.
553
00:34:35,873 --> 00:34:40,812
No good.
It'll backfire.
554
00:34:40,878 --> 00:34:44,849
And then he wants
to take down Newman Media.
555
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:48,186
And that's
a very bad combination.
556
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:51,656
>> Nikki: I'm almost
as worried about Victoria.
557
00:34:51,722 --> 00:34:53,791
>> Victor: Why?
>> Nikki: She has completely
558
00:34:53,858 --> 00:34:58,029
sidelined Nicholas.
Restructured his support team
559
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:00,264
to suit Nate.
She's getting ready
560
00:35:00,331 --> 00:35:02,200
to go to battle
with Tucker McCall,
561
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:06,804
again, with Nate's backing.
I mean, he is feeding
562
00:35:06,871 --> 00:35:09,774
her sense of power
and she will not listen
563
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:17,081
to anyone else.
>> Victor: Oh, boy.
564
00:35:17,148 --> 00:35:20,384
Oh, boy.
That means
565
00:35:20,451 --> 00:35:26,457
that Victoria and Adam are
aiming for a head-on collision.
566
00:35:26,524 --> 00:35:29,227
>> Nick: You know, all the years
I've known you, Sharon,
567
00:35:29,293 --> 00:35:33,498
one thing never changes.
You always manage
568
00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:37,535
to surprise me.
>> Sharon: Well, get ready.
569
00:35:37,602 --> 00:35:39,704
Because I have no idea
what the future holds,
570
00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:43,574
but it's going
to surprise me, too.
571
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:46,577
I can't wait
to share this with Mariah
572
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:49,313
and Tessa.
Not just the idea,
573
00:35:49,380 --> 00:35:54,218
but this very moment.
The shift
574
00:35:54,285 --> 00:35:58,689
from fear to empowerment.
Going from being afraid,
575
00:35:58,756 --> 00:36:03,361
wanting to hide
and stay safe, to...
576
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:07,331
trusting myself.
And following my instincts,
577
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:10,668
wherever they lead.
Finding that strength
578
00:36:10,735 --> 00:36:14,972
that was always there.
I want to teach them
579
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:16,941
that there is always a way
to come back
580
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:19,143
from those dark moments.
Not just come back,
581
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:26,117
but flourish.
Everything changes now.
