>> Jack: That would be the third time that you've moved those.
>> Diane: This is my first Thanksgiving as your wife
in your family home. >> Jack: In our family home.
>> Diane: Well, I just want it to be perfect.
>> Jack: No one is keeping score.
It's Thanksgiving Day, the one day of the year we set
judgments aside, we put battles on hold, and we come together
in gratitude and unity. What could be better than that?
>> Diane: Have you met your sister?
>> Jack: Oh. >> Diane: Last year
at this time, she was on a mission
to run me out of town. >> Jack: But on the day
of thanks, when the whole family was here, she showed restraint.
>> Diane: Well, a little. And only with a lot of arm
twisting on your part. I mean, I was scared
during the meal that she would stab me with a fork.
>> Jack: But she didn't, and that's the magic of
the holiday. >> Diane: [laughs]
>> Jack: Hey, think about it. Think about how much things
have changed between the two of you since twelve months ago.
>> Ashley: Things have changed for whom? You mean Diana and me?
>> Jack: I was just reflecting on how your relationship
has progressed. >> Ashley: Yeah, I suppose
that's true. I mean, who would have guessed
that I would owe you a debt of gratitude, Diane,
for saving my life. Although I still think there's
a part of you that would have preferred me to choke
to death on a grape. >> Diane: [chuckles]
>> Ashley: Huh? >> Diane: Course not.
Of course not. And besides, Jack's right.
We're on the same team now. >> Ashley: Another one of
those things that nobody would believe, even me.
>> Jack: We're all working toward the same goal--
protecting Jabot from a possible attack from your
about-to-be-ex-husband. >> Ashley: I know. I know.
Two other things I couldn't possibly imagine happening--
that I'd actually marry Tucker and then leave him
on our honeymoon >> Jack: Because of your
incredible loyalty to this family that brought on your
realization that Tucker is the ass we all thought he was.
>> Ashley: Okay! All right. Thank you so much for that.
>> Jack: Look, can we just not talk about Tucker or what
he has planned for one day? Just focus on the things
for which we are grateful. >> Ashley: Right. Um...
I'd actually like to invite Tucker for Thanksgiving dinner.
>> Audra: Yeah, I was surprised you reached out.
After the way we left things, I wasn't sure I'd ever
hear from you again. >> Kyle: Yeah, I think
my emotions got the better of me last time we spoke.
We both did. >> Audra: Yeah, you're right.
I was a little hesitant to meet with you today.
I wasn't sure what I'd be walking into.
>> Kyle: I think we had too much of a connection to leave
things the way we did. >> Audra: Huh.
So, now is when you tell me, in a less emotional way,
why you backed out of a plan you agreed to
only a few days ago. >> Kyle: No.
>> Audra: Because I don't need to be let down gently, Kyle.
I prefer the direct approach. So tell me--
what's on your mind? >> Kyle: I want back in.
>> ♪♪♪ >> Victoria: Mom, hi.
I hope you're having a good visit with Aunt Casey.
Give her my love. Look, I don't want to interrupt
your quality sister time, but would you give me a call
when you get a chance? I could really use your advice.
>> Nikki: Water. Thank God.
How much vodka did she pop into me?
Haven't felt like this in a long, long time.
I never wanted to ever again.
Claire! Why are you doing this to me?
>> Nikki: No. No, I can't.
Why is she doing this to me? Claire, or whoever she is,
she wants me to suffer. She knows my weakness.
No, not weakness. Disease.
It's a disease. Okay.
You know how to do this. One day at a time.
One minute... at a time.
>> Claire: Oh, Mrs. Newman, I'm so sorry.
>> Victoria: No. That's okay, Claire.
I thought you were headed out west with my mother.
Something about going to see your aunt?
>> Claire: I came back to get some work, but, uh...
>> Victoria: What is it? What's wrong?
>> Claire: It's your mother. [knock at door]
>> Victor: Yes, come in. >> Victoria: Something's
happened with Mom. >> Victor: What do you mean?
>> Victoria: Clair flew back to grab some work from the office,
but then she got a call from her aunt in Oregon.
>> Victor: What is it? >> Claire: Nikki had some kind
of seizure this morning. >> Victor: What?
>> Claire: I don't know much, but apparently she collapsed,
and Jordan called an ambulance. She's been taken to
the hospital. >> Victor: Oh, my God.
Get the jet ready. We're taking off
very soon, okay? Just get it ready.
What is the nearest airport? >> Claire: Redmond.
>> Victor: Redmond, Oregon. >> Victoria: I'm coming
with you. We can grab Nick
on the way to the airport. >> Audra: Kyle, you were adamant
about wanting in on the plan, and then in a complete reversal,
you were just as adamant about not betraying your family.
You're making me dizzy. >> Kyle: I was working
through it. >> Audra: You accused me
of using you. >> Kyle: You called me a coward.
>> Audra: Okay, well, why would you even consider
working with me? >> Kyle: To get what I want,
>> Audra: Which is? >> Kyle: Jabot.
I want to be co-CEO. >> Audra: [scoffs]
Help me understand, because you made it very clear
you didn't want it this way. >> Kyle: [sighs]
If I told you I was willing to betray my family and stab
my father in the back... would you believe it?
>> Audra: Why should I believe you're not gonna
change your mind again? You know, Tucker thinks
you can't commit and follow through.
>> Kyle: Well, Tucker's wrong, and I have the evidence
to prove it. >> Tucker: Evidence
to prove what?
>> Tucker: Okay, so what is
this evidence to prove you are sincere
in wanting to join us? >> Ashley [recorded]: I know
that Tucker needs and wants Devon's love and approval
more than anything. And Devon needs and wants
a relationship with his father. I don't see anything wrong
with nudging that in the right direction.
And just listen. Full disclosure--
If all this "Kumbaya" means that Tucker decides to back off
of Jabot, wouldn't that be wonderful? Wouldn't it?
It could actually happen. Because nobody can tap into
Tucker's humanity like Devon. >> Tucker: This isn't news.
I assumed Ashley was trying to manipulate me.
>> Kyle: But you were hoping it wasn't true.
>> Tucker: I don't know how my hopes or desires
are relevant here. >> Kyle: The point is, Ashley
is using your hopes and desires to her advantage.
>> Tucker: No, it sounds to me like she still thinks she can
turn me into a better man. But even if you're right,
what does that prove? >> Kyle: That I would throw
my aunt under the bus to show whose side I'm on.
>> Audra: It was a dirty move. Sneaky, even.
I'm impressed. >> Tucker: I see.
Dirty and sneaky Kyle Abbott. [chuckles, snorts]
I didn't think you had it in you.
>> Jack: Inviting Tucker to our family Thanksgiving dinner.
>> Diane: You're not serious. >> Ashley: All right, let me
rephrase that. Not for dinner. Just here for a drink
along with Devon. >> Jack: So you're helping him
get in touch with his humanity? >> Ashley: Yes, exactly.
>> Jack: He never had any to begin with.
>> Diane: Yeah, talk about spoiling the mood.
>> Ashley: I thought you were my ally. What happened to
being on board? >> Diane: Well, it happens to be
Thanksgiving. It runs the risk-- >> Jack: Of destroying the day.
Why would he even agree to this? >> Ashley: Because of Devon.
I mean, obviously, Tucker's probably going to be alone
on the most family holiday of all the holidays.
He's going to be miserable. Maybe he'll be more vulnerable.
>> Jack: Good. Tucker will be sad.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. No, I'm putting my foot down.
This is not going to happen. You can get together with Tucker
and Devon and work your magic. Obviously, I can't talk you
out of it, but not here, not today.
>> Ashley: Jack. >> Diane: I have to agree.
>> Ashley: You mean the two of you can't put aside
your dislike for this person the way I have?
Honestly, for a greater good? >> Jack: You're asking us
to ruin a family celebration by having that man in this house
and pretending to be civil. It's not going to happen.
>> Nick: Have you heard anything from Mom?
>> Victor: She's just not answering my calls.
>> Claire: I've been trying to reach my Aunt Jordan
for an update, but she's not picking up either.
>> Victoria: Maybe that means she's bringing Mom back
from the hospital. >> Victor: Wait a minute.
>> Nikki: Is that the jet? Is it ready?
>> Victor: Just a second. What do you mean, not ready yet?
>> Victoria: What? >> Victor: Why in half an hour?
Get it ready. We've got to get out of here.
>> Victoria: That's too long. I feel like we need to be there
now. Mom needs us. >> Victor: Sweetheart...
>> Victoria: I can't stand this. >> Victor: It's gonna be
all right, okay? Everything will be all right.
>> Nikki: What kind of person does this?
Get rid of it. Pour it out.
You know where this will end if you don't.
Oh. [gasps, sniffles]
[teary] Oh, God... [sobs]
What have I done? [crying]
God help me! [crying continues]
>> Victoria: Now Claire, your aunt said Nikki
had a seizure? >> Claire: Yes.
>> Victor: What else did she say?
>> Claire: Not much. She was focused on
getting Nikki help. >> Victoria: She must have
said more or given you some idea of what she's
dealing with. What did she actually see?
>> Claire: She said Nikki started twitching.
She got dizzy, and then her arms started jerking like
they were out of her control. And then she collapsed.
>> Victoria: She collapsed? It sounds like it could have
been related to the MS, especially if she was tired
from the trip. >> Victor: Okay, listen, we need
to relay that information to the medical team.
What's the name of the hospital? >> Claire: I don't know.
There aren't any near the lake house.
>> Nikki: Didn't you say your aunt suffered
some kind of fall? >> Victor: Where was she
treated? >> Claire: There's a retired
doctor who lives on the lake. He looks after Aunt Jordan
because she hates hospitals. I should have found out
where they were going. I heard "hospital," and
I didn't get more information. I'm so sorry.
I was just so upset that I wasn't thinking.
>> Victor: I understand, but it's imperative
that you get ahold of your aunt, okay?
We need to tell your aunt about Nikki's medical condition
of multiple sclerosis. Do you understand?
It could potentially be very, very dangerous.
So call her again right now. >> Tucker: Well, this was
a promising start. >> Audra: I'm assuming
you've given some thought as to how you might help us
achieve our goal. >> Kyle: I played the role
of the prodigal son. Told my father I accepted
his position to be COO of Jabot. >> Tucker: Smart move.
>> Kyle: I want to show I'm a team player
willing to put the family above my own personal ambition.
>> Audra: You sure he believed it?
>> Kyle: Oh, I know he did, because he wanted to.
It's a weakness too easily exploited.
>> Tucker: Is this the student trying to school the master now?
>> Kyle: Oh, no, this is a partner-to-partner observation.
>> Tucker: We're not partners yet.
>> Audra: All right, well, we all need to be convincing
and effective for this to work. >> Tucker: I agree.
So as COO, you'll be on the inside of Jabot where
you can gather information. >> Kyle: Exactly what kind of
info are you looking for? >> Tucker: Anything I can use
to damage the company, Destroy it from the inside.
>> Kyle: Is that supposed to be a joke?
>> Tucker: No, that's what you're signing on for.
>> Kyle: See, I want to run the company.
There's not a lot of incentive for me if there's no company
left to run, Tucker. >> Audra: I think "destroy"
is too strong a word. >> Tucker: Sorry. Would
"cripple" be better? >> Audra: Yeah, better.
Look, right now the company is too financially stable.
It could weather any kind of storm we could create.
You do see that, right? >> Kyle: Oh, I see,
but I'm not saying I agree with it.
>> Tucker: Kyle, in order to put you in charge, I need
control of the company. To get control of the company,
I need leverage. Without some kind of, uh,
some kind of damage or crisis at Jabot, I don't have that.
>> Kyle: Oh, I understand. >> Tucker: Is this going to be
a problem for you? >> Jack: Just one
Tucker-free day, is that too much to ask?
>> Ashley: Jack, I think you can survive it for
the sake of our family and the family's company, okay?
>> Diane: I doubt Tucker would even want to come,
>> Jack: Or Devon, for that matter.
I'm sure he has plenty of plans for the family he does love.
>> Ashley: Just one drink. Why are you fighting me on this?
>> Jack: Because Thanksgiving should mean something.
Thanksgiving is about family, Ashley. I am grateful
that you are here. For a time here, it looked like
that wasn't going to happen, things were so bad between us.
I would like to be grateful all day that you are here.
>> Ashley: Okay, okay. But there are some things
that are more important, Jack, than just sitting together at
a table, eating tons of turkey and then wanting to take a nap.
>> Jack: You're missing my point.
Today is about family. We need to value that.
Can't we just come together, enjoy each other's company?
This is about a family tradition we're trying to keep going.
There are far too few of those. >> Ashley: I know. I know.
Listen, I'm really grateful to you for always trying to keep
these family traditions going. Honestly, thank you.
>> Jack: What do you think Dad would do?
>> Ashley: I think he'd agree with me. I really do.
And if you don't agree with me to let Tucker and Devon
come here for one quick drink, I'll go to the club.
I'll meet them there. >> Jack: You would really
do that? >> Ashley: Accept my other
option, Jack. >> Diane: Ashley,
Ashley, I'd really like to have you here.
>> Ashley: And I want to be here, and I will be
for part of it, I promise. But this is something
that I have to do. It just is.
>> Jack: I'm not going to stand here and argue with you.
That's the last thing I want to do, especially today.
>> Ashley: Good. >> Jack: So you're gonna go
through with this? You're gonna spend part of Thanksgiving
with the most despicable man in Genoa City.
>> Ashley: And his son, hopefully.
>> Jack: Why are you so damn stubborn?
>> Jack: Why are you such a control freak?
It's for the good of the family.
>> Jack: I know that. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
I still worry about you. >> Ashley: I'll be fine.
>> Jack: You will be missed. >> Ashley: Just think of
the opportunity to talk about me behind my back.
That's the real family tradition.
>> Jack: Be careful. Look, I got to check on
things in the kitchen, okay? >> Ashley: Come here.
Happy Thanksgiving. >> Jack: Happy Thanksgiving.
[both sigh] >> Ashley: Honestly.
Thank you for what you said. That was very sweet.
>> Diane: Oh, well, I meant it. I wanted this to be our first
family Thanksgiving together without so much animosity.
[both chuckle] >> Ashley: Right. Yeah.
I'll be back, you know? I'm not gonna be gone that long.
You understand why I'm doing this, right?
You see the logic? >> Diane: Oh, I--I do.
It's just there could be a problem with your plan.
>> Kyle: That's a sound strategy if properly executed.
>> Tucker: And are you willing to be a part of it?
>> Audra: Dismantling your family's company?
>> Kyle: Well, I have to be, in order for it to work.
>> Tucker: Why is that? >> Kyle: You want to weaken
the company without destroying it beyond repair.
That requires intel only someone from the inside
can deliver. Timing is everything.
>> Audra: Hmm. He makes a good point.
>> Kyle: And I don't trust you. Either of you. No offense.
>> Audra: None taken. >> Kyle: Look, you're hurt.
Part of you wants to hurt back. You want to punish Ashley and
all the people important to her. My family.
I can see that. >> Tucker: Cool.
Did you get that from your freshman psychology class?
I know more about you than you think, Kyle.
I always will. Don't forget that.
So, just so we understand, you are joining us, yes?
>> Kyle: Well, I'm not gonna let you burn it down
out of spite. But I want to run the company,
and this is the only way that's going to happen.
So, yes, I am in. >> Tucker: Very good.
I'm glad you found some clarity. >> Kyle: Don't make the mistake
of playing me, and everyone will get what they want.
Do we understand each other? >> Tucker: I think so.
Welcome aboard, again. >> Kyle: Well, you don't have
to question my commitment to all this.
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm. You should run along back to
Thanksgiving right now. Keep playing the prodigal son,
grateful to be back in their good graces
and all that. >> Kyle: I can handle it.
>> Tucker: Okay. I'll be in touch.
>> Audra: I'll walk out with you.
I'm glad you're back. >> Kyle: Yeah. Tucker must be
pleased with your efforts. >> Audra: You don't seem
very happy for a man who's about to get everything
he wants. >> Kyle: Audra,
don't try to manage me. >> Audra: I'm not asking you
to trust me, Kyle. You know, in fact,
I find it rather appealing you don't.
We're talking about self-interest here.
There's nothing in it for me if Tucker burns it down.
Like you, I need this to succeed.
>> Kyle: Hmm, but it's Tucker I'll be handing the means
to cripple the company. >> Audra: And when we
gain control, we will build it back even
better and stronger. This is what Tucker does best.
>> Kyle: Hmm. That's why I'm putting up
with him. Well, with both of you.
It's clear who I'm dealing with. >> Jordan: Claire?
>> Claire: Yes, it's me, Aunt Jordan.
I'm so glad you picked up. >> Jordan: I just got back from
the hospital. Understand? >> Claire: Yes, I'm here
with Mr. Newman and two of his children.
They're very worried. >> Jordan: As they should be.
>> Claire: He's very eager to talk to you.
>> Victor: Hi, this is Victor Newman.
>> Jordan: Mr. Victor Newman. I can't believe it.
>> Victor: Well, thank you for helping my wife.
>> Jordan: What was that? Hello?
Oh, this cell service is just so awful.
Can you hear me? >> Victor: I said thank you
for helping my wife. >> Jordan: That's not something
you need to thank anyone for. But she did give me a scare.
>> Victor: Please tell me how she is.
>> Jordan: The doctors are tending to her.
>> Victor: OK, listen carefully. You must tell them that my wife
has MS, multiple sclerosis. Very important you tell them.
>> Jordan: [chuckles] Well, you'll be happy to know
that the doctors were smart enough to figure out that's
what was ailing her, Mr. Newman. >> Victor: Well, I'm very
relieved to hear that. >> Jordan: It is a great relief,
isn't it? >> Victoria: So the seizure
was brought on by the MS. >> Victor: So she is responding
well to the medication? >> Jordan: They gave her some
epilepsy medication, and, um, what was
the name of it? Oh, I can't remember.
But, um... Anyhow, it seems to be working,
and she was over the episode rather quickly.
>> Victor: Well, that's good news.
>> Jordan: They're going to kep her overnight.
They want to make sure that there are no chances taken.
And since I do live in such a remote area.
>> Victor: We'll be leaving here shortly.
We are flying into Redmond. We should be there in
a few hours. >> Jordan: Oh, goodness,
it is handy having those private jets, isn't it?
>> Victor: Now what is the name of the hospital?
>> Jordan: Hello? >> Victor: Hello?
>> Jordan: Hello? Oh, no, not again.
>> Victor: Can you give me the name of the hospital?
>> Jordan: Oh, this service is breaking up again.
Mr. Newman? Hello?
>> Victor: Hello? Are you there?
>> Victor: [sighs] The call dropped.
>> Claire: The service can be terrible out there.
>> Nick: Well, Mom's okay, that's the only thing
that matters. >> Victoria: What else did
she say? >> Victor: Well, they gave her
some epilepsy medication, and apparently
the seizure stopped. >> Victoria: [sighs]
Thank God. >> Nikki: Thanks to your aunt.
>> Victor: We owe her a tremendous debt
of gratitude. >> Claire: I'm sure she doesn't
see it that way. >> Victor: Well, I'm looking
forward to thanking her in person, okay?
>> Diane: Ashley, I--I do, I understand the logic
of what you want to do, how it makes sense to take
advantage of the emotions that the holiday brings up.
>> Ashley: Right, right, because Tucker
talks a good game, but he-- well, like I told you,
he wants Devon's love and approval.
>> Diane: Family connection. >> Ashley: Yeah, and that's
why I thought today was a good day to try
to get the whole process started, of getting, you know,
Tucker and Devon back on track. >> Diane: Well, I--I get that.
I'm just asking that you don't sacrifice the whole day
for Tucker. Look, it means a lot
to Jack to have you here for Thanksgiving dinner.
And believe it or not, it means a lot to me, too.
Look, there's no angle, no secret agenda, I just...
I just love your brother. I love his devotion to family,
and... I love that Harrison
is growing up, you know, feeling a part of it and
having these traditions. [sighs]
I mean, last year at this time, Jack had recently learned
that he had another grandchild. >> Ashley: Yeah.
Yeah, it's a shame Allie can't be here.
She's off in Paris pursuing her dreams.
>> Diane: Well, life does that. It pulls us
in different directions, and I think that's why
this holiday is just so important.
>> Ashley: Seems like you really mean
what you're saying. >> Diane: I do mean
what I'm saying. And that's why
I hope you'll be back in time for dinner, because...
I just think the table would feel a little empty without you.
[door opens, closes] >> Ashley: Thank you.
>> Kyle: Wow. Smells delicious in here.
How are the preparations coming? >> Ashley: Your mother has, um,
decorated the room in such a way that Martha Stewart
would be jealous. Anyway, um,
I gotta get ready. >> Kyle: Okay. See you later.
Wow, Mom. >> Diane: Yeah.
>> Kyle: [chuckles] Uh...
Where's Dad? >> Diane: He's in the kitchen
checking on things, but don't worry.
I'm sure Mrs. Martinez is about to kick him out.
>> Kyle:, Oh, well, I met with Audra.
>> Diane: Yeah? >> Kyle: Yeah. Tucker showed up.
Couldn't have worked out better. >> Diane: Really? What happened?
>> Kyle: I told them I reconsidered their plan
to take over Jabot. >> Diane: Do you think
Tucker believed you? >> Kyle: Oh, I'm in.
I think you're right about how I have to handle this.
>> Tucker: Hey, Devon, period. Can we fix this, question mark.
Can we try, question mark. I would love to spend
Thanksgiving with you, period. [door thuds, footsteps approach]
>> Audra: [sighs] Well,
Looks like it's just you and me. >> Tucker: Hmm.
Just the way I like it. I must say, I never understood
the appeal of Thanksgiving. Turkey sucks.
It's always dry. And nobody does
the mashed potatoes right. They're dry, too.
It's like hospital food, right? You want to go upstairs?
>> Audra: Tucker, no. >> Tucker: Not that.
Up to the dining room. Buy you a burger and a bourbon.
>> Audra: Oh. Yeah, sure.
>> Tucker: Geez. Your mind's in the gutter
these days. >> Audra: Yeah, well, I've been
spending way too much time with you.
>> Tucker: Mm-hmm. Hey, wait a second.
>> Kyle: I'm going to do this on my own.
I can handle it. I'm going to undercut Tucker,
eliminate the threat, and then I'm going to make this
my gift to Dad. >> Diane: Good for you.
>> Jack: Mother and son, a welcome sight on this
family holiday. Ashley leave?
>> Diane: No, she went upstairs. I did my best to try to convince
her to make it back for dinner, but I don't know. Who knows?
>> Jack: Well, I appreciate the effort.
I really do believe in the tradition of Thanksgiving.
>> Kyle: You don't have to convince us.
We know how important this day is to you.
And I love how Harrison knows this is your favorite holiday.
>> Jack: I just wanted us all to be together.
I cannot believe Tucker is still invading our lives.
>> Kyle: Yeah, let's forget all about Tucker McCall.
He has nothing to do with this family.
Today should be about us, the Abbotts.
>> Claire: Still no service. >> Victoria: Oh, my God.
Is it always like this? >> Claire: It's worse this time
of year when the weather's bad. >> Victoria: I didn't know
that Mom was gonna be in such a remote location.
>> Claire: Most people move to this part of the state
because they want to be off the grid.
>> Nikki: You must worry about your aunt living out there
all alone. >> Claire: She's one of the most
capable people I know. But sometimes, yes, I do.
>> Victor: Hello? Hello? Let's go.
[sharp pop] >> Nikki: Who's there?
Claire? Who's there?
[knock on door] >> Man: Hello?
Nikki? Victoria?
