[ mellow piano music ] >> Phyllis: Hey, Danny. Hi.
>> Danny: Hey. >> Phyllis: Not surprised
I ran into you again. Big, little town, right?
>> Danny: [ chuckles ] Yeah. >> Phyllis: I know you love
this time of year. It's so beautiful out
and crisp and cool. And that magical thing
that the light does at a certain time of day.
>> Danny: It's, uh-- It's nice. >> Phyllis: It is nice.
I got two words out of you. >> Danny: Oh, it's, um--
I mean, you know-- >> Phyllis: Shh, shh.
Yeah, I know. The Bug comes back into town
and suddenly, I'm the pariah, right?
>> Nina: Hey. >> Christine: Hey.
>> Nina: Hi, my friend. Oh. You good?
>> Christine: Yeah. >> Nina: I feel like I'm totally
monopolizing your time. >> Christine: Gosh, I'm so glad
you texted. We have to take advantage of the fact
that you're in town. I am happy to hang with you while Chance
finishes up this investigation he's involved in.
>> Nina: Yes, my son, the police chief. That's like,
one word, by the way. I thought he would be working
more regular hours now, but clearly not.
>> Christine: Yeah, he's not really the kind of guy
to be content behind a desk. >> Nina: No.
>> Christine: And look, we get to spend time together.
>> Nina: Yeah, it was really nice reminiscing
and catching up earlier. >> Christine: It was so nice
to talk openly and honestly, and not feel judged.
>> Nina: What do you mean judged? For what?
Because you felt something for Danny when you saw him again?
Please. I mean, maybe, you guys had some rough times,
but you were madly in love with the guy.
>> Christine: Things just ended with me and Paul.
>> Nina: So, it's not like anything happened
between you and Danny. [ Christine sighs ]
Did something happen between you and Danny?
[ Christine sighs ]

>> Chelsea: Hi, hi. Oh, good. I'm glad I'm not late.
This is great, isn't it? Summer wanting to meet outside
the office, talk informally. >> Chloe: Yeah, being summoned
by the boss is always a great sign.
>> Chelsea: Chloe, it's just coffee.
It's just people talking. I know you and Summer have been
butting heads a lot lately, but honestly, I'd be worried
if you weren't. Nothing worth having
is ever easy. This is gonna be great.
It's gonna be positive. It's gonna be proactive.
>> Chloe: Yeah, I don't-- >> Chelsea: Here she comes.
>> Summer: Hey, Chloe. Hey, Chelsea.
So happy to have you back. >> Chelsea: It's great to be
back. I'm ready to get started. >> Summer: Sounds great.
But before you do, I just-- I wanted the three of us
to sit down together and chat and clear the air.
And Chloe, you've expressed some frustrations
with the design process. She feels like I've been
a little intrusive. >> Chelsea: Well, um, actually,
Chloe and I were just talking about it and it's perfectly
normal to have creative differences.
You know, sometimes, it can be the engine
to generate great work. >> Summer: Yes, I-- I totally
agree with that, and Chloe, I respect your perspective
as well, and your long history in fashion and all
of the expertise that you bring. >> Chelsea: And we respect
your role as CEO, that it's your job to further the vision.
>> Summer: Exactly, it should be a collaboration and I really am
confident that we can strike the right balance.
>> Chloe: Yeah. I just don't think
that's possible. >> Nate: I'm fired?
>> Victor: You're damn right. >> Victoria: For what?
>> Nick: Dad-- >> Victor: You had it all
planned, Nate, didn't you, hm? Send me to some looney bin
surrounded by doctors who didn't give a damn about my health,
just to keep me away from here, right?
>> Nate: Victor, if you believe that's true, then, we still
have a problem. >> Victor: I have all the proof
right here. I talked to the head
of that looney bin. He gave me a full report.
>> Nate: Victor, I was protecting your privacy.
Of course, I had to arrange things in advance.
There needed to be NDAs, precautions.
>> Victor: You are lying now and you were lying then.
>> Victoria: Dad, please, just calm down.
>> Victor: I'll calm down when I feel like it, all right?
Now, all of you may as well know this whole thing on my part
was a charade. I didn't have any lapses
of memory. I knew full well who was
in charge of Newman Media. Didn't forget a damn thing.
I didn't have lapses. Or fits of paranoia
and then, forget about it a few minutes later, I didn't.
>> Adam: You didn't forget that your granddaughter was dead?
>> Nick: I asked you point-blank if this was a setup.
>> Victor: I had to find out who...
would possibly betray me. And Adam...
I was leaning in your direction. But to my relief, I found out
the real culprit was not you. >> Adam: Hm.
>> Victor: I had to know who I could trust
and who I couldn't. >> Victoria: Even me.
You didn't trust even me?
>> Victor: I had my doubts about all of you.
>> Victoria: Based on what? >> Nick: Don't waste your time
looking for logic. >> Victoria: No, no.
I need to hear it. >> Victor: I watched you
when I told you that I would step back and sit in this chair
and demote you. >> Victoria: So, I'm suspect
because I had an honest, human reaction
to being shunted aside. >> Victor: The point is,
I had never seen you that angry. And I always suspected,
you had been sitting in this chair for far too long.
Power corrupts. Even now, you're more concerned
about your position than about what
your boyfriend has done. >> Victoria: You know,
regardless of Nate's choices, he was only trying to help.
You're the one who-- who imagined this illness and
pretended your mind was slipping.
>> Victor: I did what I had to do.
And the outcome proves that I was right.
>> Victoria: Okay. That's great. But I would never, ever inflict
anything like that on you or anyone else in this family.
>> Adam: Well, maybe one person. If we're being honest.
>> Victoria: I am so hurt. I'm hurt that you think
I would take advantage of you in that way.
Just because you think I'm angry about being demoted?
>> Victor: Don't you understand my position?
I've built this into an enormous empire.
We have employees all over the world.
I saw it fall apart slowly but surely
because of all the in-fighting. And because of Nate.
I know someone was scheming to take this over.
That's why I reacted the way I did.
>> Victoria: All right. Fine. So, how long were you
planning on keeping this from all of us?
>> Nina: So, you saw Danny after the last time we spoke?
>> Christine: Mm-hmm. Right after, at the club.
>> Nina: After Lauren mentioned he was there with Phyllis.
>> Christine: Yeah, because I know how Phyllis operates.
She'll trash talk me, try and cut me down
in Danny's eyes. >> Nina: Please, like that
could ever happen. [ gasps ] Oh, I wish
I could have seen both of their faces when you walked in.
I'm sure, for Danny, it was like Phyllis didn't even
exist, right? Ah, she must have been livid.
Oh, does it make me a bad person that I am just relishing
the thought of her public humiliation?
>> Christine: She had to go somewhere with Daniel anyway.
>> Nina: Yeah, what happened after that?
>> Christine: Oh, boy, nothing happened.
Not like you're imagining. >> Nina: How do you know
what I'm imagining unless you're imagining it too.
>> Christine: Oh, God. Okay, it was-- it was sweet.
>> Nina: Mm-hmm. >> Christine: Natural. Danny was
over at the piano, you know, playing around with a song
and he asked me to join him and tell him what I thought.
[ Nina gasps ] >> Nina: And it was magic.
>> Christine: It's just really easy being with him.
>> Nina: Which is why I encouraged you to explore
the possibilities. I mean, you're both free and you have
such a special connection. And it sounds like you still do.
>> Christine: When I ran into him, we hadn't seen
each other in months and the last thing I ever expected
was to talk about my breakup and how miserable I was.
But suddenly, I found myself just opening up to him.
He's such a good listener. >> Nina: Yeah, I mean,
he's not better than me, right? >> Christine: Oh, no one
is a better listener than you. >> Nina: Okay, good. So, okay,
last time we spoke, you didn't even know that there was
something to pursue with Danny. And it sounds like maybe,
you're more sure now. >> Christine: You know,
don't read too much into this. We're reconnecting as friends.
Danny and I have a lot of history to unpack,
and I'm not exactly in the best place emotionally.
>> Nina: But the timing. You guys both showing up here
at the same time, it's just-- It's kismet.
>> Christine: I'm not rushing into anything.
>> Nina: All right. You're probably smart.
[ Christine chuckles, sighs ] >> Phyllis: Well,
you know, one minute, we are talking as friends,
sharing so much history and we do have so much history,
and then, the next minute, you're monosyllabic.
I mean, that's not all in my head.
>> Danny: Hey, nothing has changed.
I still admire how you're trying to turn your life around.
The efforts that you're making, working side by side
with our son. >> Phyllis: Thank you.
[ chuckles ] You're just admiring me
from arm's length, right? >> Danny: I don't know where
this is coming from. [ Phyllis sighs ]
>> Phyllis: She has it in for me. We both know that.
[ Danny sighs ] >> Danny: Christine has more
important things on her mind, trust me.
And whatever you're hanging on to, I don't know,
it feels like you're projecting it onto me.
>> Phyllis: You know what? You're right.
>> Danny: And do you honestly think that I would just
change my mind about you because of something
anyone else said? That I'm that suggestible?
>> Phyllis: I-- Oh, I'm sorry. It's just old patterns die hard.
I just-- My guard comes up when it comes to the Bug,
that's all. [ Danny sighs ]
>> Danny: I wish you would stop calling her that.
>> Phyllis: Oh, okay. The Cricket.
>> Danny: How about just Christine?
>> Phyllis: Yes, I could do that.
>> Danny: Thank you. >> Phyllis: Christine, see?
[ Phyllis chuckles ] >> Danny: Look,
she just came back into town after what seemed like a really
rough breakup with Paul, okay? She's going through a difficult
and emotional time right now. So, please just--
just leave her alone.
>> Summer: Look, Chloe, I'm being sincere when I say
that I-- I want to listen. I-- I want to find a way
to oversee the design department that works for all of us.
>> Chloe: I'm not questioning your sincerity. I am just making
an honest assessment of the situation
and this can't work. >> Chelsea: You know, I think
Chloe and I need a few minutes to talk privately
before we continue. >> Summer: Yeah. Sure.
>> Chloe: No, there's really no need.
>> Chelsea: No, I think there's a need. [ laughs ]
There's a need because we're partners, so, um, I know
you've been frustrated lately, but I--
>> Chloe: Yeah, and this situation is only going to
make things worse. Okay, you talk about wanting
to find a rhythm, but I don't think it's possible.
Not when you're so hands-on. And not when there are
three of us involved in the creative process.
>> Summer: Chloe, I'm the CEO of Marchetti. I have to
be hands-on. >> Chloe: It's not a criticism.
Okay? It-- When there are two people,
you can find a rhythm. A back and forth.
A give and take. That's what balance looks like.
We've done it before. >> Chelsea: That's right,
we've done it before, and that's what we could have again now.
>> Chloe: Yeah, but when you add a third voice, then one
is just struggling to be heard. >> Summer: Okay, maybe--
maybe, you two should take a minute to talk.
>> Chloe: Look, I respect what you've done with Marchetti.
And the vision that you have. Where you want
to take the company. And now, that Chelsea is back,
I think that you can find that rhythm and that balance.
But inevitably, I am just going to be the odd one out,
struggling to be heard. And it's not where
I wanna be right now. >> Phyllis: Oh, my goodness,
Danny, I'm trying to change my life.
Do you think I want to revive some old battle?
>> Danny: But you're making all these assumptions
about Christine. >> Phyllis: It's because she--
You know what? You're right. I'm just gonna lay off of the--
Christine. [ laughs ] See?
That was me trying, I'm trying. >> Danny: Yes, I see that.
>> Phyllis: Listen, I feel for her.
What she's going through. I know what it's like to be...
[ sighs ] ...ending a relationship, and
you lose a part of your life, you know?
You lose a part of your heart. I don't wish that on anyone.
You think I'm so self-involved I can't see the pain
she's going through? >> Danny: No, but I-- I see
you falling back into your old dynamic.
>> Phyllis: Well, I think that's what happens when you're so used
to fighting for your life. And fighting for people
you care for. >> Danny: Okay,
positive reinforcement. All right, I see the effort
you're putting in, I do. >> Phyllis: Thank you.
I appreciate that. It may be boring for you
to keep on saying it, but I like to hear it. [ laughs ]
>> Danny: No, I-- I'm really-- I'm happy to help, seriously.
No, I am. >> Phyllis: Thank you.
And I do feel bad for Christine. I really do. Genuinely.
I don't wish that pain on my worst enemy.
>> Danny: Now, you're not just saying what I want to hear,
are you? >> Phyllis: Oh, you think
I'm trying to impress you? Really?
Are you just so used to adoring fans
screaming out your name? >> Danny: I am.
>> Phyllis: Trying to impress you all the time? [ chuckles ]
>> Danny: This is just me and you talking here.
Come on. >> Phyllis: Yeah.
It is just me and you talking. I'm not the same person I was.
I want you to know that. I'm a work in progress.
>> Danny: Hey, aren't we all? >> Phyllis: Yeah, aren't we all?
But I'm working really hard to change some old patterns,
you know? >> Danny: Yeah.
>> Phyllis: And you know what? I think I'm gonna
get into meditation, yeah. >> Danny: Oh.
>> Phyllis: Yeah. Imagine me trying to quiet down my brain.
>> Danny: I-- I felt the same way when I first started.
In fact, you know, most people do, um. I've been doing
transcendental meditation for years now and it's really
helped me tremendously. >> Phyllis: Oh, wow.
Would you teach me? [ Danny laughs nervously ]
>> Nikki: I'm so sorry. I wanted you to know
that your father's decline was all an act. I told him
what it was doing to you. >> Victoria: You still
said nothing. >> Nikki: Because if you
had known the truth, you would have taken it
straight to Nate. >> Victor: And then,
we would never have known of Nate's true intentions.
Right, Nate? >> Nate: What?
Victor, I offered a sound medical solution
to most effectively get you diagnosed and treated.
It was in your best interest. >> Victor: Nate, I respect you.
You're a bright man. Accomplished man.
But you wanted to commit me to the looney bin
so that you and Victoria could grab back the power that
I had taken from her, right? >> Nate: I was protecting
the company by providing you the best care based on years
of medical experience. >> Nikki: Nate, stop.
You didn't care about what was best for Victor.
>> Nate: Why, Nikki? Because I thought
it was a bad idea to turn Newman Enterprises into some
sort of makeshift clinic. Okay, news flash,
it was a bad idea. But all you seem to be
worried about is making it look like Victor is still working
and nothing is wrong. >> Adam: I would have protected
the company and our father with minimal chances
of exposure or leaks. >> Nate: Right. Right.
Because that's how you all like to operate, isn't it, Adam?
In the shadows, making up your own rules.
I was pulled into those shadows and wound up regretting it.
I did nothing wrong. My plan was sound
and it was above board. And guess what?
I had no ulterior motives. But the Newmans have decided
and there's no convincing you otherwise.
You know what? You did me a favor firing me.
[ door slams ] >> Victoria: We'll talk
about this later. [ door shuts ]
>> Danny: As entertaining as it would be for me to watch
you sit still and try to calm that brain of yours,
I-- I can't teach you. >> Phyllis: You can't
or you won't? >> Danny: You have to be
certified, you know, do an in-residence training,
and-- Well, it requires a high level of commitment.
>> Phyllis: Well, just give me pointers, that's all.
>> Danny: No, no, that would defeat the whole purpose.
If your goal is to-- to change and benefit from the practice,
you don't want to just dabble in it.
>> Phyllis: Okay, it's sort of a foreign concept for me.
Being introspective, right? I'm from the school
of wild abandon, sort of, you know,
free and loud. >> Danny: Yes, definitely that.
[ Phyllis laughs ] >> Phyllis: I'm just looking for
someone to sort of hold my hand. Metaphorically speaking.
>> Danny: Yes, of course. And a certified trainer,
he can-- can help you, you know, tame those wild impulses.
>> Phyllis: I'm not sure I want to be tamed.
>> Danny: He can show you how to harness all
of that raw energy, you know? And so that you're not
at the mercy of those impulses. >> Phyllis: Well, hook me up.
>> Danny: Okay. I'd be happy to. >> Phyllis: Great. I'm excited.
Well, maybe, transcendental meditation
is off the table for tonight, but possibly,
we could have dinner? I'm free.
>> Danny: Oh, I-- I would love to,
but I already have plans. >> Phyllis: Okay. Okay.
Let me guess. >> Danny: Oh, it's--
it's not Christine. >> Victoria: Look, I don't know
what to say, but I'm sorry. >> Nate: Because I got fired?
>> Victoria: No, for all of it. >> Nate: Oh, including
the part where you ignored the only doctor in the room.
Hm? Given what we were dealing with,
what we both thought we were dealing with,
I offered Victor the best course of action
and you didn't have my back. I thought we were a team.
>> Victoria: We are. We still are.
>> Nate: It certainly didn't feel that way in there.
>> Victoria: Look, I'm as angry about all of that as you are.
>> Nate: No, not even close. >> Victoria: Oh, my God.
After everything that I have done to try to prove my worth
and my loyalty to my father-- >> Nate: I am sure, you--
I am sure you will get over it. You will be fine.
>> Victoria: Look, I-- I hate that things turned out this way.
>> Nate: Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Because it doesn't. You basically threw me
to the wolves. >> Victoria: That is not true.
>> Nate: You sided with Adam. My God, if that doesn't tell me
everything I need to know about your priorities.
>> Victoria: Nate. >> Nate: And you know what?
For the record, Adam's plan was the perfect setup
for him to manipulate Victor from the inside.
If you didn't see that, you really weren't
paying attention. >> Nick: I mean,
you didn't have to put us through all of this
just to get rid of Nate. >> Victor: Son, I didn't know
it was Nate. I had to come up with this loyalty test
to find out. >> Adam: [ laughs ] Which, Dad,
you expected me to fail? >> Victor: Yeah.
>> Adam: Spectacularly. You thought I would be
the one to take advantage of the situation,
make a power play, you all did. >> Nikki: Yeah.
With good reason. >> Adam: Man, I-- I gotta
hand it to you, Pop, that was a hell of a playbook.
And the execution, I mean, I really thought that you were
mentally in decline. And the prospect of that,
of seeing you go through that, I'm not gonna lie,
it shook me up. >> Nikki: Adam, spare us.
>> Nick: I have no doubt you were planning to use this
to your advantage. >> Adam: To what advantage,
Nick? >> Nick: Dad gives you every
opportunity in the world. Another chance,
no matter what you pull, or how far you push the limits.
>> Victor: Nick, I got to be very honest with you.
I am convinced that Adam acted in my best interest
and the company's best interest.
>> Victoria: My father did this to you, did it to all
of us. If you're gonna be angry at someone, be angry at him,
not me, okay? I did not throw you to the wolves.
>> Nate: You know, I don't totally blame you.
It's in your DNA, all a part of being a good Newman.
One Victor can be proud of. >> Victoria: I had no idea
what he was gonna do in there. None.
>> Nate: And when you realized what was happening, you fell
right in line, didn't you? You still have your job,
your family. I'm on the outside looking in.
>> Victoria: There is a way to fix this.
>> Nate: It would mean taking a stand you don't want to take.
Victoria, all I wanted to do was protect your father
and give you back what you deserve while he healed.
Those details he's so indignant about
were entirely reasonable. Not some proof of a coup.
But that doesn't seem to matter. To any of you.
You know... my mistake was thinking you'd
have my back instead of showing blind obedience.
I won't make it again. >> Victor: You know, it would
have been one thing for all of your siblings to fight
like this when things are going well.
But God forbid, there would have been a crisis,
this would have been catastrophic.
>> Nick: There was no crisis. >> Victor: You don't know that.
We don't know that. Adam though, knew what was at stake.
He asked all of you to work together.
>> Nick: Well, we'll never know that, will we?
Because you ended the charade before Nate could be put
to the test. [ door clicking ]
>> Victoria: Nate deserved better.
You should have given him the benefit of the doubt.
Why did you have to fire him so quickly?
>> Victor: Did you listen to what I said before?
He had called the looney bin. Arranged it for me
to leave here. So that he and you
could grab back the power that I've taken from you.
>> Nick: Nate wanted a home-court advantage for you.
>> Victor: Right. >> Nikki: Darling, it was about
getting you back in charge so that he could then be co-CEO
more than any real concern for your father.
>> Victor: And he would have done anything
to achieve that end. And it was also
his revenge on me. >> Victoria: For what?
>> Victor: For demoting you. >> Victoria: All right, Dad.
All right, however you want to justify it, okay?
But what you did, pretending that something was terribly,
terribly wrong with you, that was cruel.
>> Victor: And your mother pointed out, I couldn't risk
telling Nate the truth. And my instinct turned out
to be right. >> Victoria: You know what, Dad?
Your mind, it may not be slipping,
but your instincts are. They're worthless when it comes
to Adam. You know, you claim that you expected him
to betray you, but it was really just this whole game to find
a way to give him yet another free pass and to excuse
all of the terrible things that he's done.
>> Adam: That's not true. >> Victoria: All of it
at the expense of the people who love you.
Who care about this family and who want to protect your legacy.
I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can forgive you for this.
>> Nikki: I warned you this would happen.
[ phone ringing ] >> Summer: I'm so sorry.
I've got to take this. I'll be right back.
>> Chelsea: No problem. Chloe, I didn't know
you were considering leaving. >> Chloe: I-- I hadn't
seriously considered it until this meeting, but I think
it makes sense. >> Chelsea: No, no, it actually,
makes no sense. It actually makes zero sense
because we're a team. So, if you leave, it's just me
and I-- I can't be a one-person team.
>> Chloe: Stop. We are a great team
because you are a creator and I am a facilitator.
That's why it works. But now that you're
at Marchetti, you have a great facilitator.
>> Chelsea: Is this about Summer?
You don't like her? >> Chloe: I have nothing
against Summer. >> Chelsea: She's a Newman.
>> Chloe: True, but she's the least Newman
of all the Newmans, I really-- I have no problems with Summer.
>> Chelsea: Okay. Good. Because we've had worse bosses.
I mean, we worked for Gloria. >> Chloe: [ laughs ] Right.
And even as annoying as she was, she always let us do
our own thing, but, you know, it's-- it's not like that
with Summer. She wants to give her input.
>> Chelsea: Well, I think she just wants to guide us.
>> Chloe: She wants to do more than just guide us.
And it's-- Look, it's okay. She is the CEO of the company.
She should do what she wants. It's just not right for me.
>> Chelsea: [ sighs ] Chloe. I need you.
>> Chloe: No, you need to create, to build something.
>> Chelsea: Well, I don't want to do it without you.
>> Chloe: Don't say that. After everything that you've
been through the past couple of years, you deserve to really
dig in and build something. I mean,
this is your opportunity, you have to take it.
Me, I-- I'm happy with where I'm at. Kevin's happy,
the kids are happy. I mean, gosh, my mom is even perfectly
content working here, sticking her nose
in everyone else's business. But I am good.
I don't need this. Look, Chelsea,
you're gonna be fine. I promise you.
>> Summer: I'll check in later, okay? Bye.
Chloe, tell me what I can do to get you to stay with us.
>> Chloe: There is nothing that you can do
to change my mind. >> Summer: Come on, there's
gotta be something. Look, I know that it's on me to create
the right work environment where you're challenged
without wanting to run for the exit.
>> Chloe: No. I really don't want you to take this
personally, Summer. I-- I just don't think
it's a good fit for me. >> Chelsea: How can you be sure?
>> Chloe: Because I experienced it earlier with Sally.
>> Chelsea: Sally? >> Chloe: She invited me
to tag along on a consult. And I don't know,
we just started bouncing ideas off of each other
and-- and fell into this rhythm that made me realize that this
is what a collaboration could feel like.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, that's what we used to have.
>> Chloe: It's a totally different situation
now, Chelsea. I don't want to feel like I have to
soldier on to make it work. It wouldn't be fair,
to either of you. >> Summer: Just so you know,
I am willing to try. >> Chloe: Because you're
a consummate professional. You are a pair of rock stars.
You are going to do something great together.
I adore you both, but... [ Chloe sighs ]
I just think it's time for me to move on.
>> Danny: Why are you so hung up on the idea that there's
something going on between me and Christine?
>> Phyllis: No reason. I guess I'm just nosy.
It's none of my business, actually.
>> Danny: Daniel and Lucy. That's who I'm having
dinner with tonight. >> Phyllis: You are?
Lucy's in town? >> Danny: Yeah, she got in
this afternoon. >> Phyllis: Oh, my goodness.
Really? Heather too? >> Danny: I'm pretty sure. Yes.
>> Phyllis: That's interesting. >> Danny: Yeah. Don't go there.
>> Phyllis: I-- I-- No. I'm just so excited
to see my granddaughter. >> Danny: Yeah, you made it
very clear that you'd like Heather and Daniel
to get back together again. >> Phyllis: You know,
that was a mistake. I overstepped.
I'm not interfering. I learned my lesson.
>> Danny: Good. You go down that route
and you're just gonna push Daniel away.
>> Phyllis: And I don't want that to happen, so I'm gonna
stay out of it, I promise. >> Danny: Uh-huh.
Sudden impulses, they just keep getting away from you.
>> Phyllis: Hey, can you cut me some slack, please?
>> Danny: This is me being supportive.
Wanting you to get out of your own way.
>> Phyllis: I know that and I'm working so hard to change.
You have to understand that, please.
My family, my kids. Honestly, it's
my top priority, Danny. >> Danny: Okay, in that case,
you are welcome to join us. >> Christine: My personal life
isn't my focus right now. It's really
my professional future. >> Nina: Yet, you said
that another term as D.A. didn't appeal to you.
>> Christine: I just-- It started to wear on me.
How people like Phyllis could just walk after committing
such horrible crimes. You know, free to inflict
themselves on the world. >> Nina: But wait, listen,
don't let your feelings about her influence this
very important decision, right? >> Christine: I just don't have
an appetite for it anymore. >> Nina: But there are plenty of
other, more fulfilling ways to use your legal skills.
You were talking about private practice,
maybe pro bono. >> Christine: Pro bono, yeah.
Something out of the spotlight. Corporate law.
[ phone ringing ] >> Nina: The hospital.
This is Nina Webster. Yes, I'm his mother.
How bad is it? Okay. I'm on my way.
I'll be right there. Chance has been shot.
>> Adam: So, just to be clear, Dad, you really are all there.
>> Victor: Hm. I'm as lucid and as sharp
as I've ever been, boy. >> Nikki: I can attest to that.
>> Victor: I'll also do everything in my power
to protect what I built. >> Adam: So, where do we
go from here? >> Victor: Nicholas, where
do you stand in all this? >> Nick: Dad, Vic has devoted
her life to preserving and growing what you've built.
I can understand why she's so hurt. I hate seeing her
go through this. >> Victor: So do I.
But I have a feeling that she knows that what I'm saying
about Nate was correct. She must have experienced
and seen his growing ambition for more and more power.
>> Nick: Make no mistake, I'm glad Nate's gone.
But I guess, I'm more surprised it wasn't Adam
who walked into your trap. >> Adam: Hey, I told you
that we need to pull together for Dad, okay?
You're the one who wouldn't put your personal feelings aside.
>> Nick: Don't you go there with me.
>> Victor: Nicholas, now the Nate is gone...
I need you at the company. [ Nick sighs ]
>> Nick: If I were you, I wouldn't be so sure
Vic is gonna forgive you. And to her mind,
this may be one betrayal too many.
[ phone chimes ] [ Nate sighs ]
>> Summer: Look, I appreciate
your candor, Chloe. >> Chloe: Well, I haven't been
exactly shy about how I feel. >> Summer: That's true.
But I understand why you'd want to be
in a situation that you feel passionate and excited about.
>> Chelsea: So, you're really walking away?
>> Chloe: I think I am. >> Sharon: Okay, just as soon
as you could get here would be great. I really need
to get to the hospital. All right, thank you, Esther.
>> Chelsea: The hospital? >> Summer: What's wrong?
>> Sharon: Chance has been shot. >> Christine: Excuse me.
Chance Chancellor, the new Chief of Police.
>> Nurse: They just brought him in, second room on the left.
>> Christine: All we were told is he was shot in the chest.
How bad is it? What's his status?
>> Nurse: We're waiting for results of the imaging to verify
the extent of the damage. >> Christine: Okay.
[ Nina sobbing ] >> Nina: Chance.
Oh, sweetheart. It's me.
It's your mom. [ Nina sobbing ]
