1
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:25,024
>> Kyle: Thank you.
Summer, hey.
2
00:00:25,091 --> 00:00:28,294
>> Summer: Hey.
Kind of a coincidence
3
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,997
running into you today.
>> Kyle: Yeah.
4
00:00:31,064 --> 00:00:33,633
I was thinking the same thing.
Feels--
5
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:36,536
>> Summer: Strange.
A little sad.
6
00:00:36,603 --> 00:00:39,773
>> Kyle: You got a call
from your lawyer too.
7
00:00:39,839 --> 00:00:42,742
>> Summer: Yep.
Our divorce is final.
8
00:00:42,809 --> 00:00:45,145
It's not the easiest call
to get.
9
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:49,082
>> Kyle: No, it wasn't.
So many things went
10
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:52,819
right until--
>> Summer: More than right.
11
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:55,455
We made
a lot of beautiful memories.
12
00:00:55,522 --> 00:00:59,359
All of us.
>> Kyle: You, me and Harrison.
13
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:01,861
>> Summer: Now, we just
gotta pour all that extra
14
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:05,098
love into him, right?
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
15
00:01:05,165 --> 00:01:06,866
>> Summer: And we'll
still see each other
16
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:08,935
around the Jabot office.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
17
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,237
>> Summer: How are things for
you, by the way, with all
18
00:01:11,304 --> 00:01:14,073
the changes in the C-suite?
>> Kyle: Ah, news travels
19
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:16,443
fast, huh?
>> Summer: Billy left Jabot?
20
00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:18,378
>> Kyle: To go to
Chancellor-Winters.
21
00:01:18,445 --> 00:01:20,513
>> Summer: Well, I guess that
means that you're now back where
22
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:24,451
you belong in the co-CEO spot.
>> Kyle: Not quite.
23
00:01:24,517 --> 00:01:29,088
>> Summer: Then who?
>> Kyle: My mom.
24
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:33,860
>> Summer: Diane is
now co-CEO of Jabot?
25
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:36,663
I mean,
how do you feel about that?
26
00:01:36,729 --> 00:01:42,702
About your mom taking your job?
>> Jack: I want you to
27
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,671
see the press release
and the memo to staff
28
00:01:44,737 --> 00:01:47,774
before I sign off on it.
What do you think?
29
00:01:47,841 --> 00:01:49,576
>> Diane: I can't
believe I'm doing this.
30
00:01:49,642 --> 00:01:52,011
>> Jack: In my mind,
it is meant to be.
31
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:54,247
>> Diane: What? For me to take
a job from my son?
32
00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:56,549
>> Jack: You-- you are not
taking a job from anyone.
33
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:59,385
This is not Kyle's time.
This is your time.
34
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:01,521
>> Diane: And I'm honored.
I am.
35
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:04,691
To be your life partner and then
you choose me again to be
36
00:02:04,757 --> 00:02:07,694
your partner at work, it's--
it's amazing.
37
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,963
>> Jack: Except?
>> Diane: Except no matter
38
00:02:10,029 --> 00:02:13,566
what Kyle says, I know he's hurt
that he didn't get promoted.
39
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:15,768
So, I'm hurting for him.

You're awake
and you don't need to be afraid.

doing here?

see for myself how you are.

See what I can do.

>> Claire: Why would
52
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:20,533
you want to?
You already saved my life.

have every reason in

55

>> Nikki: You're right. I do.
>> Ashley: So, those things
56
00:03:32,512 --> 00:03:34,914
you said downstairs.
>> Tucker: Yeah?
57
00:03:34,981 --> 00:03:36,816
What about them?
>> Ashley: You think I'm afraid
58
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,018
of commitment and that
I won't let myself be
59
00:03:39,085 --> 00:03:41,554
happy in a relationship?
>> Tucker: Can you
60
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:43,356
prove me wrong?
>> Ashley: Well, you've
61
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:44,991
certainly convinced yourself
that I'm the one with
62
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:46,726
the problem, haven't you?
>> Tucker: Uh, you are
63
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:48,394
the one rewriting history.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
64
00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:50,897
I know what you're doing.
I know exactly what you're
65
00:03:50,964 --> 00:03:52,966
trying to accomplish.
66
00:04:02,709 --> 00:04:04,944
>> Tucker: You're trying to
provoke me into losing my temper
67
00:04:05,011 --> 00:04:07,714
so I'll turn over a table
68
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:09,616
thus validating your story.
No dice.
69
00:04:09,682 --> 00:04:12,418
>> Ashley: I am not the one
who is playing games.
70
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:14,220
>> Tucker: Ashley,
if this was a game,
71
00:04:14,287 --> 00:04:16,956
wouldn't that suggest that I'm
deriving some pleasure from it?
72
00:04:17,023 --> 00:04:19,726
I'm having fun?
I assure you I'm not.
73
00:04:19,792 --> 00:04:21,561
>> Ashley: You are
gaslighting me.
74
00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,863
>> Tucker: Have you asked
yourself why I would make
75
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:25,765
you question your sanity?
What do I stand
76
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:27,500
to gain from that?
>> Ashley: It's retaliation,
77
00:04:27,567 --> 00:04:29,869
Tucker.
You're trying to make me suffer.
78
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,338
[ Tucker laughs ]
Oh, yeah. You laugh.
79
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:34,807
>> Tucker: Listen to yourself.
>> Ashley: It's because
80
00:04:34,874 --> 00:04:36,409
I changed my mind
about leaving Jabot.
81
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:38,745
I ruined your dreams and
all of your expectations and now
82
00:04:38,811 --> 00:04:43,916
you're trying to punish me.
>> Tucker: That's incredible.
83
00:04:43,983 --> 00:04:45,885
You never really knew me at all,
did you?
84
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:47,587
>> Ashley: No,
I know you quite well.
85
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:49,956
You are selfish. You are smug.
You are narcissistic.
86
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,724
You're a son of a bitch.
>> Tucker: Yeah. Yes.
87
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:53,493
I know I'm all those things,
aren't I?
88
00:04:53,559 --> 00:04:57,497
But I can tell you right now,
I have never ever been motivated
89
00:04:57,563 --> 00:05:02,035
by the need to inflict harm
on others
90
00:05:02,101 --> 00:05:05,872
and absolutely never
on someone I loved.
91
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:11,244
>> Summer: I don't know,
if my mom got the job that
92
00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:14,547
I've been wanting my entire life
I might feel a certain
93
00:05:14,614 --> 00:05:16,315
type of way about it.
>> Kyle: Well,
94
00:05:16,382 --> 00:05:18,151
I'm happy for my mom.
That was the right call
95
00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:23,156
for my father to make.
>> Summer: Kyle, you sound
96
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:26,726
like you're fielding
questions with the press, okay?
97
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:28,728
Just because we're not married
anymore doesn't mean that
98
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:31,097
you can't tell me the truth.
>> Kyle: Okay. You want
99
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:34,400
honesty and full disclosure?
All right.
100
00:05:34,467 --> 00:05:38,504
Is there some disappointment?
Plenty.
101
00:05:38,571 --> 00:05:40,873
>> Summer: Of course.
You know Jabot like
102
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:42,675
the back of your hand.
>> Kyle: Yeah, but not
103
00:05:42,742 --> 00:05:44,510
like my father does.
I have a lot to learn.
104
00:05:44,577 --> 00:05:47,847
And if it is the job
that I was born to have, I'll be
105
00:05:47,914 --> 00:05:50,183
ready when it comes my way.
>> Summer: So, you'll
106
00:05:50,249 --> 00:05:54,287
really be happy as COO?
>> Kyle: Yeah.
107
00:05:54,353 --> 00:05:57,356
I get to work with my mom
and learn from my dad.
108
00:05:57,423 --> 00:05:59,058
I mean,
those two are good together.
109
00:05:59,125 --> 00:06:00,593
They're what Jabot
needs right now.
110
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:03,396
They're solid and she supports
him the way he needs.
111
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:06,399
>> Summer: It's not like you or
Billy who would have their
112
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:09,469
own agenda and push back.
>> Kyle: Okay.
113
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:12,305
Mom is not a pushover,
but she won't stand
114
00:06:12,371 --> 00:06:14,707
in his way, no.
Jabot needs a singular
115
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:17,643
vision right now.
>> Summer: And you will
116
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,679
bite your tongue and
just think about how
117
00:06:19,746 --> 00:06:23,783
you could've done things better.
And you'll learn to be happy
118
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:27,320
with the situation because it's
family and family comes first.
119
00:06:27,386 --> 00:06:28,921
>> Kyle: Hmm.
It's almost like you
120
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:30,990
know me or something.
>> Summer: Something like that.
121
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:33,860
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
>> Chance: Hi.
122
00:06:33,926 --> 00:06:38,064
>> Summer: Hey, Chance.
Wow. That looks incredible.
123
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:40,533
Let me see the back.
>> Kyle: Just humor her.
124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,302
It's the easier way.
>> Chance: All right. All right.
125
00:06:43,369 --> 00:06:45,171
>> Summer: It's perfect.
>> Chance: Right?
126
00:06:45,238 --> 00:06:46,873
>> Summer: I'm impressed
by the both of us.
127
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,841
>> Chance: Yeah. Yeah.
She's, uh, she's been my
128
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:52,245
personal shopper for this
whole new executive wardrobe.
129
00:06:52,311 --> 00:06:54,480
I still don't know she knew
my size. She didn't take my
130
00:06:54,547 --> 00:06:56,649
measurements or anything.
>> Kyle: It's what she does.
131
00:06:56,716 --> 00:06:58,551
>> Summer: One of
my superpowers.
132
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:00,920
>> Chance: Apparently I'm
expanding my style horizons.
133
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:03,222
>> Summer: It's a nice fit.
>> Chance: Yeah. It's a little
134
00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:04,757
more comfortable
than I thought.
135
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:06,359
>> Summer: Of course.
>> Chance: I'm gonna grab
136
00:07:06,425 --> 00:07:13,032
a coffee.
>> Summer: What?
137
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:21,307
>> Kyle: Somebody's got a crush.
>> Nikki: I have every reason
138
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:26,212
in the world to hate you,
but I don't.
139
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:30,917
>> Claire: You're pitying me,
which is probably worse.
140
00:07:30,983 --> 00:07:36,589
>> Nikki: What happened to you
was very cruel and relentless.
141
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:41,727
You had horrible lies whispered
into your ears your whole life.
142
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:45,331
You can't help but be
a product of your upbringing.
143
00:07:45,398 --> 00:07:48,768
>> Claire: Like a broken vase.
The pieces never fit back
144
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:51,337
the way they should.
>> Nikki: Well, we're all
145
00:07:51,404 --> 00:07:56,209
a little broken, aren't we?
The question is,
146
00:07:56,275 --> 00:08:01,614
do you wanna get better?
>> Claire: Is it even possible?
147
00:08:01,681 --> 00:08:05,751
After the way I was raised on
lies told by a woman who
148
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:09,488
lived in a different reality?
>> Nikki: We are all
149
00:08:09,555 --> 00:08:12,692
stronger than we give
ourselves credit for.
150
00:08:12,758 --> 00:08:20,933
We just have to be brave
enough to dig down to find it.
151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,069
>> Claire: Sometimes, I think
I have it.
152
00:08:23,135 --> 00:08:26,005
I feel strong and capable,
brave.
153
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:32,945
And other times, it just seems
pointless, exhausting.
154
00:08:33,012 --> 00:08:37,817
Like all I'll ever do
is let everyone down.
155
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:39,819
>> Nikki: Well,
you can't do it alone.
156
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:43,155
Nobody can.
>> Claire: Am I even
157
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:44,957
really doing it if
I need that much help?
158
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:48,895
>> Nikki: Of course, you are.
And Cole and Victoria
159
00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:51,964
wanna be there for you.
>> Claire: They have to.
160
00:08:52,031 --> 00:08:55,201
They're parents and
they're good people.
161
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:59,305
What I need is someone
who will tell me the truth.
162
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:01,207
Someone who knows
the whole story.
163
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:03,843
Who can look me in the eyes
and answer my question.
164
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:11,317
>> Nikki: What is your question?
>> Claire: Am I inherently evil?
165
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:21,928
>> Nikki: I won't judge you,
Claire.
166
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:25,064
>> Claire: But you know
the things I've done.
167
00:09:25,131 --> 00:09:30,303
[ Nikki sighing ]
>> Nikki: You were born
168
00:09:30,369 --> 00:09:37,343
perfect and innocent and then an
evil force got in the way.
169
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:42,381
But the fact is we saved
each other's lives and
170
00:09:42,448 --> 00:09:45,418
that's a good thing.
>> Claire: But...
171
00:09:45,484 --> 00:09:51,457
what if--
>> Nikki: No, no. No ifs.
172
00:09:51,524 --> 00:09:53,893
Why don't you tell me
a little bit about how you
173
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,031
spend your days here?
>> Claire: I get up in
174
00:09:59,098 --> 00:10:01,233
time for breakfast now.
I'm sleeping
175
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:04,303
a little bit better.
We have group
176
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:09,175
and then some free time,
and there's a craft lesson.
177
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:11,877
Actually,
there is something new.
178
00:10:11,944 --> 00:10:15,581
I got a new privilege and it's
my favorite part of the day.
179
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:18,784
>> Nikki: Well,
tell me about that.
180
00:10:18,851 --> 00:10:21,787
>> Claire: I get to go on walks
to the other floors with one of
181
00:10:21,854 --> 00:10:25,424
the orderlies for some exercise.
It's better than it sounds.
182
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:29,595
[ Claire chuckles ]
I get to go to pediatrics.
183
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:32,598
>> Nikki: Ah,
to see the children.
184
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:34,367
>> Claire: Even though
they're sick,
185
00:10:34,433 --> 00:10:38,037
they all talk to each other and
they get loud sometimes.
186
00:10:38,104 --> 00:10:41,941
Um, they know all the nurses,
and the nurses all know them.
187
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:44,777
>> Nikki: Do they?
>> Claire: And then their
188
00:10:44,844 --> 00:10:46,879
parents come to visit and
they bring food from
189
00:10:46,946 --> 00:10:51,083
home if it's allowed.
You can hear them reading
190
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:57,423
stories, playing cards.
And the moms and dads,
191
00:10:57,490 --> 00:11:00,192
they all smile,
even though you know
192
00:11:00,259 --> 00:11:02,128
they're worried.
>> Nikki: Well, that's
193
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:07,466
what we do so that our
children aren't afraid.
194
00:11:07,533 --> 00:11:10,169
>> Claire: The kids are sick
or injured and it's awful,
195
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:17,043
but sometimes I'm jealous.
>> Nikki: Because they have
196
00:11:17,109 --> 00:11:21,380
their family around them.
>> Claire: I saw kids on TV or
197
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:24,483
around the neighborhood.
I knew what family was
198
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:30,523
supposed to be like
and I wanted it for so long.
199
00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:37,396
I had my aunt and she said
she was all I needed, but...
200
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:42,301
she wasn't.
And wishing,
201
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:48,140
it doesn't change anything.
So, I stopped wishing.
202
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:54,780
>> Summer: Uh, I don't
know what vibe you think
203
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:58,017
you're picking up on,
but it's probably just me
204
00:11:58,084 --> 00:12:01,954
being pleased with how
I styled Chance for his new job.
205
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:04,824
>> Kyle: Hm. Right. That's it.
>> Summer: Okay.
206
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,126
You can stop now.
>> Kyle: Ooh,
207
00:12:07,193 --> 00:12:09,662
I haven't said a thing.
>> Summer: You want to.
208
00:12:09,728 --> 00:12:12,498
>> Kyle: Well, there's
a little something going
209
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:14,633
on between you and Chance.
>> Summer: Yeah.
210
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:16,368
It's called friendship.
>> Kyle: Yeah.
211
00:12:16,435 --> 00:12:18,637
And it's okay if it's more.
I mean, you don't need
212
00:12:18,704 --> 00:12:23,609
to ask my permission.
Okay. Summer, I'm just saying,
213
00:12:23,676 --> 00:12:28,080
it's good to see you
smile like that again.
214
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:31,484
>> Summer: Have you been
smiling more lately too?
215
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:34,353
>> Kyle: Yeah, it's been
better than it has been.
216
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:37,223
>> Summer: I'm glad.
>> Kyle: Summer, we always
217
00:12:37,289 --> 00:12:40,993
wanted each other to be happy.
That doesn't have to change.
218
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:48,667
>> Summer: It never will.
>> Ashley: You loved me?
219
00:12:48,734 --> 00:12:50,870
You should be ashamed
of yourself.
220
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:53,672
>> Tucker: What am I doing now?
>> Ashley: You're just
221
00:12:53,739 --> 00:12:55,975
throwing around that word
like it means nothing.
222
00:12:56,041 --> 00:12:58,878
You just use it as
a way to control me.
223
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:03,149
>> Tucker: Control you?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
224
00:13:03,215 --> 00:13:07,520
You have proven ad infinitum
that you are a force
225
00:13:07,586 --> 00:13:11,390
unto yourself, Ashley.
Lacking nothing, needing no one.
226
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:16,896
Certainly not me, who would've
done anything for you!
227
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:21,800
All I ever wanted in return...
>> Ashley: What?
228
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:24,737
What did you want from me?
>> Tucker: I wanted love,
229
00:13:24,803 --> 00:13:27,106
respect,
I mostly wanted commitment.
230
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:30,876
To be a partner with you in
all things, in all ways.
231
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:33,012
But those are things you
just can't give anybody.
232
00:13:33,078 --> 00:13:35,714
At least not anybody that
doesn't share your DNA,
233
00:13:35,781 --> 00:13:38,384
apparently.
I mean, the very idea of
234
00:13:38,450 --> 00:13:40,886
commitment sends you scurrying
in the opposite direction.
235
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:43,923
And the second there weren't
20 Abbotts in an army of lawyers
236
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:48,127
between us, well,
you just ran home.
237
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:53,732
Yeah, I'm sad too,
but it's game over for me.
238
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:56,502
I'm moving on. So should you.
And you should give up this--
239
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:58,070
this obsession about
what happened in Paris.
240
00:13:58,137 --> 00:14:00,372
>> Ashley: Oh, okay.
So not only am I delusional,
241
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:02,374
but now I'm obsessing.
>> Tucker: You are obsessing,
242
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:04,376
yes.
About a moment that is now
243
00:14:04,443 --> 00:14:09,882
unrecognizable to me.
You know what you gotta do?
244
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:13,085
You ought to hop on that fancy
jet of yours across the pond,
245
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:16,855
go to the bistro, talk
to the wait staff, ask them what
246
00:14:16,922 --> 00:14:22,194
happened that afternoon.
Say, uh, "Do you happen
247
00:14:22,261 --> 00:14:25,331
to remember a man in
this restaurant going absolutely
248
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:30,736
berserk and-- and smashing wine
glasses and throwing furniture?"
249
00:14:30,803 --> 00:14:34,240
I think you'd be surprised
what they tell you.
250
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,522
>> Diane: I might not have been
there for every disappointment
251
00:14:50,589 --> 00:14:53,125
in our son's life,
but Jack, come on.
252
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:56,462
I saw the look in his eyes.
>> Jack: Honey, Kyle is
253
00:14:56,528 --> 00:14:59,565
managing things just fine.
>> Diane: He's heartbroken.
254
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:02,201
Losing Summer and
now losing this job.
255
00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:04,570
I mean, one of those things is
enough to cause real pain,
256
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:07,473
but both of them, it's-- No,
it's-- it's too much.
257
00:15:07,539 --> 00:15:09,275
>> Jack: If he had
a problem with things,
258
00:15:09,341 --> 00:15:11,844
he had ample opportunity to come
to me to plead his case.
259
00:15:11,910 --> 00:15:14,113
>> Diane: I'm not sure.
>> Jack: Kyle is fine,
260
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:16,181
believe me.
In fact, I'm very proud of
261
00:15:16,248 --> 00:15:19,184
him that he realizes he has
plenty more to learn.
262
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:23,055
The most important things in
life and in business you
263
00:15:23,122 --> 00:15:26,125
cannot, should not rush.
And look,
264
00:15:26,191 --> 00:15:30,062
if we change things now again,
what is the message to Jabot?
265
00:15:30,129 --> 00:15:32,831
More important, what
is the message to our son
266
00:15:32,898 --> 00:15:36,268
that we don't trust him to
weather a career setback?
267
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:38,103
That we don't believe
him when he says he's
268
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:41,707
where he wants to be.
I think we owe it to him
269
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:45,644
to take him at his word.
>> Diane: You don't fight fair.
270
00:15:45,711 --> 00:15:48,047
You know that, don't you?
>> Jack: Wait, are we fighting?
271
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:50,416
>> Diane: Well, everything
you're saying makes sense,
272
00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:54,920
which is enough already.
But then you look at me like
273
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:58,157
that and what can I do but agree
to everything you say?
274
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:00,959
>> Jack: Wait, everything?
>> Diane: Everything.
275
00:16:01,026 --> 00:16:06,398
>> Jack: [ laughs ] Everything.
>> Kyle: Oh, don't mind me.
276
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:09,001
I just have some actual Jabot
business to discuss,
277
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:10,969
but yeah, it-- it can wait.
>> Diane: Ah,
278
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,806
we were talking about you.
>> Kyle: And I know why.
279
00:16:13,872 --> 00:16:16,675
You, and the three of us,
hit the ground running.
280
00:16:16,742 --> 00:16:18,977
>> Jack: Exactly right.
I have a head full of ideas
281
00:16:19,044 --> 00:16:21,580
I wanna share with both of you.
I hope you've had your coffee.
282
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:24,416
>> Kyle: I did.
>> Jack: Okay.
283
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:27,686
Well, let me deal with this memo
and the press release, and,
284
00:16:27,753 --> 00:16:30,089
uh, we will roll up our sleeves
and get to work.
285
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:33,592
>> Kyle: Can't wait.
>> Jack: Be right back.
286
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:35,527
>> Kyle: Sounds like we're
in for a long afternoon.
287
00:16:35,594 --> 00:16:37,396
Can I get you something
before we get started?
288
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:39,598
>> Diane: Uh, yes.
A conversation.
289
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:44,703
And I don't mean what the COO of
Jabot who's just fine with
290
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:48,974
how things turned out.
I mean, with my son.
291
00:16:49,041 --> 00:16:54,313
And I wanna know the truth.
>> Claire: Sometimes, I look
292
00:16:54,380 --> 00:16:56,882
at those kids and I wonder
what was Victoria like
293
00:16:56,949 --> 00:17:02,054
when she was little?
>> Nikki: Well, um,
294
00:17:02,121 --> 00:17:05,457
that's a big question.
>> Claire: You don't have to
295
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,360
answer it if you don't want to.
I'm sure those memories
296
00:17:08,427 --> 00:17:12,698
are precious to you.
But I bet you were
297
00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:16,135
really careful with her.
You protected her from all
298
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,003
the people and the things
that might hurt her.
299
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:21,273
>> Nikki: Well,
I don't know about that,
300
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:28,380
but she loved her horses.
Always amazed me as powerful
301
00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:31,750
and strong-willed as
those animals can be,
302
00:17:31,817 --> 00:17:38,891
she had them under control.
Also, let them feel free.
303
00:17:38,957 --> 00:17:44,563
I think they felt safe
around her and vice versa.
304
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:49,568
And she was an avid reader.
She would read anything
305
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:52,004
she could get her hands on.
>> Claire: She brought me books.
306
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:56,508
>> Nikki: Oh, did she?
Well, she also likes painting
307
00:17:56,575 --> 00:18:02,548
and going to the museum,
spending time in her art studio.
308
00:18:02,614 --> 00:18:04,616
Of course, there's not
a lot of time for that
309
00:18:04,683 --> 00:18:09,688
these days with work and family.
>> Claire: I want that.
310
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:14,326
I want someone to smile
when I say my name like you did.
311
00:18:14,393 --> 00:18:16,995
I want someone to be proud
of the things I've done.
312
00:18:17,062 --> 00:18:20,599
>> Nikki: You were so
very alone, weren't you?
313
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:26,405
>> Claire: It was all I knew.
Jordan was all I had.
314
00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:32,444
But if I'd had a mother
who loved me, who showed up for
315
00:18:32,511 --> 00:18:35,714
important days.
If I'd had a life
316
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:39,284
where I wasn't expected to
perform and to pretend,
317
00:18:39,351 --> 00:18:41,520
because I had to be good.
I couldn't make waves.
318
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:46,125
I had to do what I was told.
But if someone had seen me
319
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:51,230
for me not as a weapon or
a tool, can you imagine?
320
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:57,803
Things would be so different.
And I keep thinking
321
00:18:57,870 --> 00:19:00,939
it's not fair.
But then I hear Jordan in
322
00:19:01,006 --> 00:19:07,946
my head yelling at me,
telling me life isn't fair and
323
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:16,054
why do I think I'm so special?
But I was.
324
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:21,193
I was special
for a little while, wasn't I?
325
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:28,333
I was Victoria's baby.
>> Nikki: You know,
326
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,205
there are things that
we have done to others
327
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:41,547
and things they have done to us
and wouldn't it be wonderful if
328
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:45,651
we could go back and
correct those things,
329
00:19:45,717 --> 00:19:51,590
get a second chance.
But all we have is
330
00:19:51,657 --> 00:19:57,129
the here and now,
so we have to find a way
331
00:19:57,195 --> 00:20:00,899
to break free of the past.
>> Claire: I don't know
332
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:04,469
if I can.
When Victoria looks at me,
333
00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:06,505
she sees this baby that
she thought was dead.
334
00:20:06,572 --> 00:20:08,340
When I look at you,
I see all the horrible
335
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:13,679
things Jordan made me do.
When you look at me,
336
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:21,320
what do you see?
[ laughs, sniffling ]
337
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:36,268
Just like I thought.
>> Tucker: I'm done.
338
00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:51,783
Just like I thought.
>> Tucker: I'm done.
339
00:20:51,850 --> 00:20:54,186
[ glass shattering ]
Goodbye, Ashley.
340
00:20:54,252 --> 00:21:09,134
You go to hell!
I'm done.
341
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:17,976
You go to hell!
I'm done.
342
00:21:18,043 --> 00:21:20,178
Goodbye, Ashley.
You go to hell.
343
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:30,656
>> Ashley: Get out of my head.
I know what I know.
344
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,430
>> Traci: Ashley, hey.
Oh, what's going on?
345
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:40,932
>> Ashley: I'm-- I'm fine.
Sorry.
346
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:43,535
>> Traci: I think I know better.
Tell me w-- Maybe there's
347
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:46,905
something I can do to help.
Tell me what's going on.
348
00:21:58,550 --> 00:22:00,686
>> Traci: So, you remember him
349
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:03,989
storming out and leaving
the bistro in shambles, right?
350
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:05,924
>> Ashley: Yes,
it was traumatizing.
351
00:22:05,991 --> 00:22:10,796
Yeah. Thank you.
So humiliating.
352
00:22:10,862 --> 00:22:13,165
Now, he says it--
it didn't happen that way.
353
00:22:13,231 --> 00:22:15,333
He's acting like it was
just a normal argument.
354
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,237
He just walked away from it.
>> Traci: Broken promises,
355
00:22:19,304 --> 00:22:22,441
but no broken glasses.
>> Ashley: He keeps telling me
356
00:22:22,507 --> 00:22:25,177
that I'm misremembering,
that I'm wrong.
357
00:22:25,243 --> 00:22:29,581
I've got the whole thing wrong.
>> Traci: Still, you-- you're
358
00:22:29,648 --> 00:22:34,152
convinced he's gaslighting you.
Ashley,
359
00:22:34,219 --> 00:22:38,423
this is so interesting because
what does he have to gain?
360
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:43,261
I mean, let's say he left
the place torn apart and now
361
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:45,997
he's trying to make you believe
in some distorted reality?
362
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:49,134
Uh, why?
>> Ashley: Well, I--
363
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:54,072
I told him that I thought
maybe he was retaliating.
364
00:22:54,139 --> 00:22:58,176
>> Traci: He's no prince
charming, but I never thought of
365
00:22:58,243 --> 00:23:01,012
him as the kind of man who would
pull the wings off butterflies,
366
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:09,154
is he?
>> Ashley: No.
367
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:13,225
I mean, he'd be the first person
to say he's very selfish, but
368
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:18,597
see, I've never known him to
be violent with anybody.
369
00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:22,367
>> Traci: But you know
what you saw, right?
370
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:28,373
>> Kyle: Of course, I'm okay
with you and Dad being co-CEOs.
371
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,443
I can even say I'm proud.
>> Diane: Well, I know how I'd
372
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:34,045
feel if someone came along and
was given a job that I was more
373
00:23:34,112 --> 00:23:37,349
qualified for, one that I'd been
successful at in the past.
374
00:23:37,415 --> 00:23:39,551
>> Kyle: Well, when
you put it like that, I mean,
375
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:43,922
maybe I should feel a little...
I'm joking.
376
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:46,691
You've gotta let this go.
I have.
377
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:49,628
>> Diane: You sure?
>> Kyle: I love seeing you
378
00:23:49,694 --> 00:23:52,430
and Dad work together.
But maybe it's proof that
379
00:23:52,497 --> 00:23:54,633
if a couple is meant
to be, it'll happen.
380
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:56,968
>> Diane: Even if it
takes a lifetime.
381
00:23:57,035 --> 00:23:59,538
>> Kyle: Sometimes, all you
need is a little patience.
382
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:02,474
A man can learn a lot by
waiting and watching.
383
00:24:02,541 --> 00:24:04,676
Hey, I'm the one who
pushed for this promotion.
384
00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:06,645
>> Diane: Yeah. And that was
really selfless of you.
385
00:24:06,711 --> 00:24:10,782
>> Kyle: I got it from my mom.
Mom, this is your job.
386
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:13,718
You're gonna crush it.
>> Diane: Just know that
387
00:24:13,785 --> 00:24:17,189
one day, I'll be saying
the same thing about you.
388
00:24:17,255 --> 00:24:21,893
Thank you, Kyle. Oh!
How did I get so lucky?
389
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:27,032
>> Chance: Well, the problems
that I'm solving over at
390
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:29,034
Chancellor-Winters are
completely different
391
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:33,371
compared to the GCPD.
But office politics? Identical.
392
00:24:33,438 --> 00:24:35,307
Same thing.
>> Summer: Oh. Tell me more.
393
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:37,542
>> Chance: Well, you got
your old timers, right? Guys
394
00:24:37,609 --> 00:24:39,578
that have been there forever.
They got all the good stories.
395
00:24:39,644 --> 00:24:41,546
You know,
where all the bodies are buried.
396
00:24:41,613 --> 00:24:43,248
>> Summer: Yeah.
We definitely had those
397
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:44,683
people when I first
started at Marchetti.
398
00:24:44,749 --> 00:24:46,151
>> Chance: Right? Right?
They've seen it all.
399
00:24:46,218 --> 00:24:47,652
They've done it all.
And they're just looking
400
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:49,621
for that big shot to
prove they still got it.
401
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:51,423
>> Summer: I can see that
for sure.
402
00:24:51,489 --> 00:24:53,091
>> Chance: But then
you got your new kids.
403
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:55,026
You know, guys that come
in hot thinking they know
404
00:24:55,093 --> 00:24:56,995
everything and they're
begging for that big chance.
405
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:58,763
>> Summer: To show everybody
what they're made of.
406
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:00,532
>> Chance: Mm-hmm.
So you got these guys that
407
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:02,300
are always saying, "Wow,
you-- you should have been
408
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:04,502
around for the good old days."
>> Summer: And then you have
409
00:25:04,569 --> 00:25:05,971
the newbies that are
attacking every day like
410
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:07,973
it's uncharted territory.
>> Chance: But you know what?
411
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:09,608
I get it.
People get used to things
412
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,676
being a certain way.
It's tough for some people
413
00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:13,511
to let go of the past.
>> Summer: Yeah.
414
00:25:13,578 --> 00:25:15,146
Well, that's why you
need to mix it up.
415
00:25:15,213 --> 00:25:17,082
You gotta keep the vintage with
the modern.
416
00:25:17,148 --> 00:25:19,718
>> Chance: Oh, keep
the OGs with the newbies.
417
00:25:19,784 --> 00:25:23,521
>> Summer: Exactly.
>> Chance: Okay. Okay.
418
00:25:23,588 --> 00:25:27,359
>> Summer: Wait a second.
What-- what time is it?
419
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:29,895
Oh, my God.
How did it get so late?
420
00:25:29,961 --> 00:25:32,464
This is all your fault.
>> Chance: Well, you've been
421
00:25:32,530 --> 00:25:36,268
sitting here talking my ear off.
>> Summer: No! Okay. Maybe.
422
00:25:36,334 --> 00:25:39,571
And I have so much more to say
on practically every topic.
423
00:25:39,638 --> 00:25:42,340
>> Chance: Let's get lunch then.
>> Summer: Okay.
424
00:25:42,407 --> 00:25:46,444
If you promise me more gossip.
>> Chance: Hm.
425
00:25:46,511 --> 00:25:50,248
Well, rumor has it,
Jeff in finance and Kelly

00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:54,152

Never would've thunk it.

>> Sharon: Oh, well,
430
00:26:15,941 --> 00:26:20,612
give me a couple of months to
become mogul status.
431
00:26:20,679 --> 00:26:23,181
Good to see you.
>> Chance: Good to see you.
432
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:26,518
Congrats on the new adventure.
>> Sharon: Thank you very much.
433
00:26:26,584 --> 00:26:29,587
You two should have
come to the party.
434
00:26:29,654 --> 00:26:32,057
It was a lot fun.
>> Chance: Well, that was--
435
00:26:32,123 --> 00:26:35,660
that was your night to shine.
>> Sharon: Mariah definitely
436
00:26:35,727 --> 00:26:38,530
made it a night to remember.
>> Chance: Yeah, that's
437
00:26:38,596 --> 00:26:40,765
what we keep hearing.
>> Summer: You must be so happy.
438
00:26:40,832 --> 00:26:42,600
You worked so hard on
this project and now it's
439
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:46,037
ready for the world to
see and you get to watch it fly.
440
00:26:46,104 --> 00:26:47,839
>> Chance: And you had
one hell of a party.
441
00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:51,009
No one got held hostage.
No one spiked the punch.
442
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:54,212
It's a win around here.
>> Summer: And I really love
443
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,115
that you named
the company after Cassie.
444
00:26:57,182 --> 00:27:00,185
>> Sharon: Well, I always feel
like she's watching over us
445
00:27:00,251 --> 00:27:03,054
and giving something her name,
knowing how much she meant
446
00:27:03,121 --> 00:27:06,791
to us, it makes me wanna
work that much harder.
447
00:27:06,858 --> 00:27:09,861
My motivation.
[ phone ringing ]
448
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:13,898
>> Summer: Oh, excuse me.
Work. I-- I gotta take this.
449
00:27:13,965 --> 00:27:15,934
>> Chance: Yeah, yeah.
Sure. Take your time.
450
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:20,105
>> Summer: Hey, what's going on?
>> Sharon: So,
451
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:22,741
what's new with you?
>> Chance: Uh, you know,
452
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,176
just trying to figure out
the lay of the land over
453
00:27:25,243 --> 00:27:27,645
at Chancellor-Winters.
Gonna take some getting used to,
454
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:32,350
but I'm flexible.
>> Sharon: Yes, you are.
455
00:27:32,417 --> 00:27:35,920
But I wanna know about you
and me.
456
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:38,690
Are we good?
>> Chance: Yeah.
457
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:43,795
I mean, you're good, right?
>> Sharon: I'm great.
458
00:27:43,862 --> 00:27:46,698
>> Chance: Great.
Yeah. I think we handled that
459
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:49,367
break-up amicably.
I hope you know you can
460
00:27:49,434 --> 00:27:52,570
still call me anytime
to fix your water heater.
461
00:27:52,637 --> 00:27:56,441
>> Sharon: Okay.
And I would be insulted if you
462
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:59,644
went somewhere else for coffee.
And bring whatever
463
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:03,014
girlfriend you want.
>> Chance: Oh, well, Summer
464
00:28:03,081 --> 00:28:04,783
and I, we're--
we're not like that.
465
00:28:04,849 --> 00:28:06,551
>> Sharon: Okay, but if
you were.
466
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:11,389
>> Chance: If we are, thank you.
I also have to say thank you for
467
00:28:11,456 --> 00:28:15,693
being honest about what you
wanted and, uh, your priorities.
468
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,864
>> Sharon: Life is too short
to dance around the truth.
469
00:28:19,931 --> 00:28:26,404
So, now that we are friends once
again, I do have a favor to ask.
470
00:28:30,108 --> 00:28:34,479
>> Claire: I'm sorry.
>> Nikki: No, don't be.
471
00:28:34,546 --> 00:28:40,785
You have to feel your feelings
to get to the other side.
472
00:28:40,852 --> 00:28:45,023
I admire the way you
seem to be able to calm yourself
473
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:51,096
after the storm, as it were.
>> Claire: I'm used to it.
474
00:28:51,162 --> 00:28:55,667
Jordan wasn't much of a hugger.
Her hugs were always either
475
00:28:55,733 --> 00:28:58,069
too tight 'cause she was
actually mad at me and
476
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:01,106
I wasn't doing something right
or she was whispering
477
00:29:01,172 --> 00:29:04,742
something awful into my ear.
So, if I got hurt or upset,
478
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:09,614
I just had to deal with it.
It's one of those things
479
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:13,384
that came normal for me.
>> Nikki: It shouldn't be normal
480
00:29:13,451 --> 00:29:17,322
for you or for any child.
That's not the life you
481
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:24,729
were supposed to have.
>> Claire: I know that now.
482
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:31,202
I should get some rest.
You should go.
483
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:33,271
>> Nikki: Are you sure?
484
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:38,203
>> Chance: A favor? Yeah?
485
00:30:38,269 --> 00:30:43,374
Well, uh, you don't need to ask
twice. Name it.
486
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:46,244
>> Sharon: Don't get
all awkward around me.
487
00:30:46,311 --> 00:30:50,815
>> Chance: Am I being awkward?
Oh, my gosh.
488
00:30:50,882 --> 00:30:53,384
I used to be so smooth.
I don't know what happened.
489
00:30:53,451 --> 00:30:56,588
Blame it on the heartbreak.
>> Sharon: Oh, I think your
490
00:30:56,654 --> 00:31:01,726
heart's mending just fine.
Not everything was meant
491
00:31:01,793 --> 00:31:05,530
to last forever.
>> Chance: I guess not.
492
00:31:05,597 --> 00:31:11,536
But man, we did have some fun.
>> Sharon: Yeah.
493
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:18,810
Look, we were friends once and
then we were more than, and now,
494
00:31:18,876 --> 00:31:22,080
we're friends once again.
I think we're really lucky.
495
00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:26,517
>> Chance: Yeah, I guess we are.
>> Sharon: And friends want all
496
00:31:26,584 --> 00:31:29,287
good things for each other.
>> Chance: Yeah.
497
00:31:29,354 --> 00:31:34,892
That's not gonna change for me.
>> Sharon: For me either.
498
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:37,028
>> Summer: Coffee break
is officially over.
499
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:39,864
I've gotta get back to work.
Shipping crisis.
500
00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:41,599
>> Chance: Oh boy,
that sounds important.
501
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:43,368
I better get back to
the office as well.
502
00:31:43,434 --> 00:31:45,837
You want me to talk your ear off
on the way to the car?
503
00:31:45,903 --> 00:31:50,008
>> Summer: Would I? Yeah.
>> Chance: Sharon,
504
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:54,245
it was really good to see you.
>> Sharon: Good to see you too.
505
00:31:54,312 --> 00:31:56,948
>> Chance: All right.
Catch me up to speed
506
00:31:57,015 --> 00:32:07,959
on this shipping crisis.
>> Ashley: So, I'm telling
507
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:10,461
myself that he's retaliating.
You know, that's why
508
00:32:10,528 --> 00:32:16,834
he's gaslighting me, but...
why don't you pretend you're
509
00:32:16,901 --> 00:32:20,772
writing one of your novels?
>> Traci: Oh, okay.
510
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:25,376
Uh, okay.
Powerful executive
511
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:30,048
and sketchy lothario.
They get married,
512
00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:32,784
they're mad for each other.
>> Ashley: Right.
513
00:32:32,850 --> 00:32:35,219
She has a change of heart.
She decides that she can't
514
00:32:35,286 --> 00:32:37,955
walk away from her--
her family's company after all.
515
00:32:38,022 --> 00:32:41,359
>> Traci: And he wants?
>> Ashley: Everything from her.
516
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:44,362
I mean, he wants...
He wants her loyalty,
517
00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:48,666
a hundred percent.
>> Traci: All of you.
518
00:32:48,733 --> 00:32:51,469
This is usually the part
where I sit back and I let
519
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:53,271
my characters talk to me,
so talk to me.
520
00:32:53,338 --> 00:32:55,873
>> Ashley: Okay.
Why would I do this?
521
00:32:55,940 --> 00:32:58,376
This isn't who I am.
I mean,
522
00:32:58,443 --> 00:33:00,545
why would I make something up?
>> Traci: Well, I'll tell
523
00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:04,282
you one thing I do know.
If Tucker is gaslighting you,
524
00:33:04,349 --> 00:33:06,884
he will wish he hadn't
when I get through with him.
525
00:33:06,951 --> 00:33:08,920
>> Ashley: I love you.
>> Traci: Oh, honey.
526
00:33:08,986 --> 00:33:10,355
>> Ashley: What would
I do without you?
527
00:33:10,421 --> 00:33:14,859
>> Traci: You will never
have to find out.
528
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:19,497
Now, that-- You questioning
yourself and-- and doubting your
529
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:26,371
memory, this really worries me.
>> Ashley: Ah, Tucker...
530
00:33:26,437 --> 00:33:30,141
Tucker told me that he thinks
I'm rewriting history.
531
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:33,077
That I'm using the argument
we had as a way of pushing him
532
00:33:33,144 --> 00:33:38,349
out of my life because
I'm afraid of commitment.
533
00:33:38,416 --> 00:33:42,620
What if he's right?
>> Traci: Actually, there are
534
00:33:42,687 --> 00:33:46,090
three sides to every story.
There's your version,
535
00:33:46,157 --> 00:33:47,859
there's his version.
>> Ashley: And then
536
00:33:47,925 --> 00:33:49,293
there's the truth.
>> Traci: The truth.
537
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,763
That's right. So,
how can we get
538
00:33:51,829 --> 00:34:00,671
closer to the facts?
>> Ashley: I know of a way.
539
00:34:00,738 --> 00:34:02,874
>> Diane: Kyle, you have
the most day-to-day
540
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:05,042
contact with staff.
What do you think is missing?
541
00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:07,445
How can we increase
employee satisfaction?
542
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:10,148
>> Kyle: Well, I mean,
Jabot is pretty fortunate.
543
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:13,684
We have a lot of employees
with a huge range of
544
00:34:13,751 --> 00:34:16,254
experiences and expertise.
>> Diane: It is true.
545
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,423
>> Kyle: Our job is to keep
them, make sure they
546
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:21,459
know we see their worth.
>> Diane: What if we find a way
547
00:34:21,526 --> 00:34:24,695
to incentivize faster turnaround
for product development?
548
00:34:24,762 --> 00:34:26,697
>> Jack: That way they
all know they're vital
549
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:28,800
to Jabot's success.
The harder they work,
550
00:34:28,866 --> 00:34:30,835
the better off we all are.
>> Diane: It's important that
551
00:34:30,902 --> 00:34:33,004
everyone from the top
down recognizes that
552
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:35,106
they matter as much as
the person they report to.
553
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:36,874
>> Kyle: And the person
who reports to them.
554
00:34:36,941 --> 00:34:40,178
>> Diane: Exactly. Every job
is important to our success.
555
00:34:40,244 --> 00:34:42,680
Loyalty and trust.
We need to model it
556
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,683
and expect it.
>> Kyle: Oh, um, I wanna
557
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,186
shore up the intern program,
get more university and
558
00:34:48,252 --> 00:34:49,887
high school students in
the labs, in the offices.
559
00:34:49,954 --> 00:34:52,990
>> Jack: Great idea.
Fresh blood. I love it.
560
00:34:53,057 --> 00:34:55,460
>> Kyle: And an educational fund
so our employees can
561
00:34:55,526 --> 00:34:59,931
go back to school to get degrees
in business and sciences.
562
00:34:59,997 --> 00:35:02,300
>> Jack: This is it.
>> Diane: What do you mean?
563
00:35:02,366 --> 00:35:04,502
>> Jack: This is the feeling
I get when everything falls into
564
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:07,338
place. When everyone's where
they need to be, doing what
565
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:09,407
they're meant to be doing.
[ phone ringing ]
566
00:35:09,474 --> 00:35:11,843
Hold on. Don't let this
stop the momentum.
567
00:35:11,909 --> 00:35:18,549
Keep it going. Take notes.
All ideas are good ideas.
568
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:21,219
Hello?
>> Nikki: Jack.
569
00:35:21,285 --> 00:35:23,321
>> Jack: Nikki,
are you all right?
570
00:35:23,387 --> 00:35:28,025
>> Nikki: Jack, I'm in trouble.
I need help.
