>> Heather: I'm not alone in
feeling what just happened,
2
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:37,170
am I?
>> Daniel: You're not.
3
00:00:51,918 --> 00:00:57,590
So...
>> Heather: So...
4
00:00:57,657 --> 00:01:02,262
>> Daniel: Yeah.
Uh, so, um,
5
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:07,233
what happens now?
>> Heather: Um, well,
6
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:17,377
what do you want to happen?
>> Abby: Hi.
7
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:19,212
>> Devon: Hey.
This is a nice surprise.
8
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:21,881
>> Abby: Is this a good time
or a bad time?
9
00:01:21,948 --> 00:01:23,716
>> Devon: Any time is
a good time for you.
10
00:01:23,783 --> 00:01:25,852
>> Abby: Well, that's
very sweet. Thank you.
11
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,154
>> Devon: Yeah. What's going on?
>> Abby: So, should I just
12
00:01:28,221 --> 00:01:31,624
launch into it?
>> Devon: Launch away. Yeah.
13
00:01:31,691 --> 00:01:33,927
>> Abby: Okay. Well,
you and I had a conversation
14
00:01:33,993 --> 00:01:36,429
a while ago about how to protect
this company from Tucker
15
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:40,667
and I suggested that you hire me
in some capacity or add me to
16
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:43,703
the board to have another line
of defense against Tucker.
17
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:45,472
>> Devon: All right.
I remember that.
18
00:01:45,538 --> 00:01:49,409
>> Abby: The more I think about
it, the more intrigued I am.
19
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:51,978

I can have Mrs. Martinez
fix you something.

But I called you before
32
00:02:47,967 --> 00:02:51,037
it got out of hand.
>> Jack: And I'm glad you did.

00:02:51,104 --> 00:02:54,007

And I'm glad you feel

you can count on me to help you.
>> Nikki: Would you be
35
00:02:58,611 --> 00:03:02,649
willing to take me to a meeting?
>> Jack: Absolutely.
36
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:06,219
But first things, first.
We need to call Victor.
37
00:03:06,286 --> 00:03:09,122
>> Nikki: Oh, no,
please don't do that.
38
00:03:09,188 --> 00:03:11,591
>> Victoria: Thank you for
the talk and also for
39
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:13,026
trusting my judgment.
>> Victor: You're so
40
00:03:13,092 --> 00:03:14,861
welcome, my darling.
I hope things with Claire work
41
00:03:14,928 --> 00:03:16,863
out the way you want them to.
Okay?
42
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:18,698
>> Victoria: They will and
when they do, you'll accept
43
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:20,300
her into the family?
>> Victor: As we agreed.
44
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:25,104
>> Adam: What's going on?
Has Claire's situation changed?
45
00:03:25,171 --> 00:03:29,709
And what does accept her into
the family mean exactly?
46
00:03:40,086 --> 00:03:43,189
>> Victoria: Butt out.
>> Adam: What?
47
00:03:43,256 --> 00:03:45,825
I can't ask a question?
>> Victoria: No, you can't.
48
00:03:45,892 --> 00:03:48,027
This has nothing to do with you.
You don't know all the
49
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:50,229
facts about my daughter,
so you have no right to comment
50
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:54,000
or even express your opinion.
>> Adam: Well, I know enough to
51
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,570
be concerned for Dad's sake
and for yours, actually.
52
00:03:57,637 --> 00:03:59,672
>> Nick: Look at that,
he's being selfless.
53
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:03,176
>> Victoria: Right.
>> Adam: Is it that impossible
54
00:04:03,242 --> 00:04:05,812
that I would want to protect the
family from outside harm?
55
00:04:05,878 --> 00:04:08,448
>> Victoria: Says the outsider
who's always trying
56
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:10,817
to claw his way back in.
You know,
57
00:04:10,883 --> 00:04:13,052
you would think that this
situation would make you more
58
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:17,390
sympathetic to Claire's cause.
>> Adam: I-- I don't know her.
59
00:04:17,457 --> 00:04:20,627
I've never even met her.
All I know is what she tried
60
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:23,596
to do to Dad and the rest
of you back in Oregon.
61
00:04:23,663 --> 00:04:26,933
>> Nick: Your concerns
have been noted. Move on.
62
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,835
>> Adam: Nick, are you
seriously okay with this?
63
00:04:28,901 --> 00:04:32,905
Are you okay with welcoming
a mentally ill felon into
64
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:35,174
the family with open arms?
>> Victoria: That's enough.
65
00:04:35,241 --> 00:04:39,178
>> Victor: All of you, enough.
We're going into this
66
00:04:39,245 --> 00:04:45,084
with eyes wide open.
One day at a time.
67
00:04:45,151 --> 00:04:50,456
Meaning there is no reason
for this to be contentious.
68
00:04:50,523 --> 00:05:04,337
Therefore, it won't be.
>> Jack: Victor is your main
69
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:07,407
source of support right now.
Why would you not want him
70
00:05:07,473 --> 00:05:12,278
to know what is happening?
>> Nikki: I slipped up,
71
00:05:12,345 --> 00:05:18,317
but it was minor.
As minor as these things can be.
72
00:05:18,384 --> 00:05:21,888
I'm not even drunk.
I stopped myself.
73
00:05:21,954 --> 00:05:24,357
I asked for help.
That's progress.
74
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:27,460
>> Jack: Yes, it is.
And I'm glad you did.
75
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:30,329
But keeping your husband in
the dark, you know what they say
76
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:32,899
in the program, you're only
as sick as your secrets.
77
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:34,667
>> Nikki: But you know
why, Jack.
78
00:05:34,734 --> 00:05:37,103
>> Jack: It's not
just an empty slogan.
79
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:40,039
You're suggesting we lie
and cover up and sweep all
80
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,108
our problems under the rug.
That's how addicts
81
00:05:42,175 --> 00:05:43,643
stay addicts.
>> Nikki: Well,
82
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:46,879
I have valid concerns.
>> Jack: Of course, you do.
83
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:56,856
>> Nikki: Victor is just
checking me, checking me,
84
00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:59,726
constantly checking me.
It's driving me crazy.
85
00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:01,928
It's taken over his
life and mine too.
86
00:06:01,994 --> 00:06:03,930
>> Jack: Yeah.
And the more he hovers,
87
00:06:03,996 --> 00:06:06,232
the harder it's gonna
be to sneak a drink, right?
88
00:06:06,299 --> 00:06:11,337
>> Nikki: It makes me
feel claustrophobic and ashamed.
89
00:06:11,404 --> 00:06:14,307
I mean, I hate the fact that
after all these years,
90
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:18,811
my sobriety is still an issue.
Victor even suggested
91
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:21,447
getting away for a while, like
a vacation would solve anything.
92
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:23,549
>> Jack: That is not
altogether a bad idea.
93
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:27,153
Sometimes a change of
scenery is a perfect way to
94
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:35,261
change your perspective.
>> Nikki: Jack, you and I
95
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:40,700
both know that I would be taking
my addiction with me.
96
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,669
And at least here,
I have my meetings.
97
00:06:43,736 --> 00:06:47,340
I have support.
I can't just up and go.
98
00:06:47,406 --> 00:06:51,477
I've got to get strong and
I have to kick this because my
99
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:55,214
family needs me right now.
>> Jack: You need a new sponsor.
100
00:06:55,281 --> 00:06:57,683
Someone whose recovery
is on solid ground.
101
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:59,652
Victor would not
begrudge you that.
102
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:01,754
>> Nikki: But he wouldn't
want it to be you.
103
00:07:01,821 --> 00:07:06,526
You and I both know that.
I-- I-- I can't start
104
00:07:06,592 --> 00:07:10,830
from scratch with some stranger.
I have to tell them my story and
105
00:07:10,897 --> 00:07:15,701
wonder if I can trust them.
No, Jack, I need you to help
106
00:07:15,768 --> 00:07:19,338
pull me out of this nightmare.
Please don't ask me
107
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:27,180
to jeopardize that.
>> Daniel: What do I want? Huh.
108
00:07:27,246 --> 00:07:29,549
>> Heather: Sorry, I didn't mean
to put you on the spot.
109
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:35,221
>> Daniel: No?
>> Heather: Okay, um, I admit I
110
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:40,693
would love to know how you feel
about our making love just now
111
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,630
and what it meant to you.
>> Daniel: Look, I know that
112
00:07:44,697 --> 00:07:48,234
I screwed up back in Savannah
and-- and, well I made
113
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:52,438
myself forget everything
that I had lost, you know?
114
00:07:52,505 --> 00:07:55,942
I mean, until today.
>> Heather: Well,
115
00:07:56,008 --> 00:07:58,911
that's the past.
No recriminations,
116
00:07:58,978 --> 00:08:05,585
I am all about the present
and the future, hopefully.
117
00:08:09,755 --> 00:08:11,958
>> Daniel: Well, you know,
being with you again...
118
00:08:17,096 --> 00:08:21,601
[ Daniel sighing ]
You know, Lily deserves better.
119
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:24,737
>> Heather: I'm not
saying that she doesn't, okay?
120
00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:29,976
But look, Daniel, you said it
yourself, it's-- it's-- it's not
121
00:08:30,042 --> 00:08:32,812
as if you're in love with Lily.
Your relationship hasn't
122
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:36,082
reached that level yet, okay?
You-- you-- you two are
123
00:08:36,148 --> 00:08:37,783
spending time together.
You're enjoying each other,
124
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,887
having fun, but there's
no formal commitment.
125
00:08:40,953 --> 00:08:45,458
You two don't live together.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
126
00:08:45,524 --> 00:08:48,628
Yeah, but I mean,
we are still a couple.
127
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:51,497
There's certain expectations
that go along with that.
128
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:55,268
Like, uh,
maybe you don't
129
00:08:55,334 --> 00:09:02,975
see other people.
>> Heather: Okay. I get that.
130
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,511
>> Daniel: Look, you've
been really honest with me about
131
00:09:05,578 --> 00:09:10,149
everything that you want
and-- and I-- I respect that.
132
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:12,885
It's-- it's me,
I'm having a hard time
133
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:17,056
respecting myself right now.
>> Heather: I understand.
134
00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:23,796
Look, I-- I'm sorry if it
affects Lily, truly.
135
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:26,399
Um, Lily's been kind to me.
She even got me that job
136
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:30,870
at Chancellor-Winters.
But Daniel, this is about us.
137
00:09:30,937 --> 00:09:35,007
I mean, we have years
of love between us.
138
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:38,678
We have a child, okay?
We needed to see
139
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:42,615
if we had a chance.
And for me,
140
00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:46,352
the answer is yes, okay?
Because all of the love and the
141
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:49,755
connection, it's still there.
And-- and-- and you're you
142
00:09:49,822 --> 00:09:55,828
again, so we can be us again.
It's simple.
143
00:09:55,895 --> 00:10:00,566
Lily is-- She's wonderful
and I-- I know you two,
144
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:06,172
you had a history and
you have something now, but, uh,
145
00:10:06,238 --> 00:10:13,212
does that really compare
to what you and I have shared or
146
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,681
what we could share again?
147
00:10:23,422 --> 00:10:24,724
>> Heather: I won't push,
148
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:30,296
except to say that, um,
I-- I feel as close to you
149
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:37,970
now as I ever did before and
it-- it just feels so lovely.
150
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:40,806
[ Daniel sighs ]
>> Daniel: Yeah.
151
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:46,212
It-- it does.
I mean, I'm not gonna deny that.
152
00:10:46,278 --> 00:10:49,849
I-- I don't think I ever
even let myself think of us ever
153
00:10:49,915 --> 00:10:54,020
being together again.
Definitely not the way
154
00:10:54,086 --> 00:10:57,690
we just were.
>> Heather: That was
155
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:02,828
not premeditated.
Okay, hoped for, maybe.
156
00:11:02,895 --> 00:11:06,165
But that's just because
it's-- it's impossible for me to
157
00:11:06,232 --> 00:11:09,902
be around you and not want to be
with you the way you are again.
158
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:17,309
>> Daniel: Well, you're
still you.
159
00:11:17,376 --> 00:11:23,249
Strong, beautiful, brilliant.
I'm not so bad too.
160
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:25,584
You know,
now that I'm not such a jerk.
161
00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:30,623
>> Heather: Hm. Fair point.
In fact, you're so tolerable
162
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:34,960
these days, I will even let
you buy me a late lunch.
163
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:39,999
No strings attached.
>> Devon: So, I've also
164
00:11:40,066 --> 00:11:42,001
been thinking about you
joining Chancellor-Winters.
165
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:45,137
>> Abby: You have?
>> Devon: I have, yes.
166
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:47,840
Because since I don't
communicate with Tucker anymore,
167
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:50,476
I have even less insight
into what he's planning.
168
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,912
And if he is still a threat,
like you said, having you
169
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:55,114
as part of the company will just
create another backstop for us.
170
00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:58,851
>> Abby: That's the plan.
>> Devon: Right, but beyond
171
00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:01,287
that, I actually believe
that you would bring a lot
172
00:12:01,353 --> 00:12:03,789
of value to the company.
Because you're constantly giving
173
00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:07,059
me good business advice and your
take on what our clients are
174
00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:09,261
looking for is always on point.
>> Abby: Well, it would
175
00:12:09,328 --> 00:12:11,497
definitely be more exciting
than menu planning and
176
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:15,101
haggling with vendors.
>> Devon: Yeah, I can imagine.
177
00:12:15,167 --> 00:12:18,504
But more than anything, I know
that you would always be honest
178
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:21,006
and tell me when you think that
I'm wrong about something
179
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:23,409
and that's what's most important
to me.
180
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,711
>> Abby: And I would
love to contribute more.
181
00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:28,214
Just say the word.
This company is our son's
182
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,117
legacy and I-- It would be
an honor to help build it.
183
00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:34,587
>> Devon: Well, I can't really
think of a better reason
184
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:37,022
to put you on the board.
>> Abby: Really?
185
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:38,991
>> Devon: Really, yes.
>> Abby: Well, how do we get
186
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:41,861
the ball rolling?
>> Devon: Uh, just go through
187
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,597
a little bit of red tape.
Some personal reaching out
188
00:12:44,663 --> 00:12:47,099
on my end.
I wanna make sure that we have
189
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:50,236
something solid on paper.
A real plan before
190
00:12:50,302 --> 00:12:52,605
I present anything to Lily
and Jill and Billy.
191
00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:59,812
>> Abby: That makes sense, yes.
>> Devon: Yeah. Mm.
192
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:03,716
Hm. Looks like my two o'clock
just got canceled.
193
00:13:03,782 --> 00:13:06,585
Do you want to go have
lunch with me and
194
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:09,622
we can discuss it further?
>> Abby: Fantastic idea.
195
00:13:09,688 --> 00:13:13,559
And I'm buying.
>> Jack: I am honestly
196
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:16,362
touched that you have
that kind of faith in me.
197
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:19,231
>> Nikki: Well, can you have
enough faith in me to know that
198
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:22,401
I know how this has to happen?
>> Jack: I would love to,
199
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:25,938
but keeping this from Victor...
What's gonna happen when
200
00:13:26,005 --> 00:13:28,841
he eventually finds out?
>> Nikki: We'll just make
201
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:31,877
sure he doesn't find out.
>> Jack: Ever? How?
202
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:35,447
He usually knows what's
happening the minute it happens.
203
00:13:35,514 --> 00:13:37,950
>> Nikki: I'll just tell
him I found a different sponsor.
204
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,818
>> Jack: Oh, good.
We'll just compound the lie.
205
00:13:39,885 --> 00:13:41,487
>> Nikki: Why can't you
let that go?
206
00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:45,357
>> Jack: Because deceit is
part of this disease.
207
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:48,961
The sneaking around, the lying,
the withholding information.
208
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,096
>> Nikki: So, you want me
to find somebody else,
209
00:13:51,163 --> 00:13:54,333
even though I told you what
a burden that would be for me.
210
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,168
I would be
so stressed out, Jack.
211
00:13:56,235 --> 00:14:01,540
>> Jack: Okay, okay, okay.
We'll play it your way, for now.
212
00:14:01,607 --> 00:14:05,077
We'll see how it goes, okay?
>> Nikki: Thank you. Thank you.
213
00:14:05,144 --> 00:14:08,814
>> Jack: Since we have this time
and we can talk, I would like to
214
00:14:08,881 --> 00:14:13,219
know what caused you to take
your first drink today?
215
00:14:13,285 --> 00:14:18,090
Lauren gave me some idea of how
it was you lost your sobriety.
216
00:14:18,157 --> 00:14:23,495
Somebody forced alcohol on
you without your consent?
217
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:25,831
>> Nikki: It was the most
terrifying experience
218
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:28,534
of my life.
But there's a lot more to it
219
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:32,137
than what I told Lauren.
Some of it is so horrific,
220
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,873
I-- I just wanted to spare her.
>> Jack: I can see it
221
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:37,209
in your eyes without
knowing any details. You have
222
00:14:37,276 --> 00:14:42,481
been through a nightmare.
>> Nikki: And Victor, Victoria,
223
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:47,686
Nicholas, they were there too.
And Cole Howard.
224
00:14:47,753 --> 00:14:49,622
>> Jack: Well, there's
a name from the past.
225
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:52,424
>> Nikki: We've been
trying to keep it private.
226
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:58,931
As private as we can.
But what I'm about to tell you
227
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:04,436
is just between us.
It has to do with what
228
00:15:04,503 --> 00:15:06,705
I was talking about.
My family needing me,
229
00:15:06,772 --> 00:15:13,045
especially Victoria.
And the newest member of the
230
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:19,685
Newman family who has a lot of
issues to deal with as well.
231
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:26,191
>> Adam: Am I the only one
that's wondering what this is
232
00:15:26,258 --> 00:15:29,895
gonna look like down the road?
If Claire can convince her
233
00:15:29,962 --> 00:15:32,298
doctors to release her early,
you don't think that her
234
00:15:32,364 --> 00:15:35,834
crazy aunt is gonna be part
of that picture too, hm?
235
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:38,037
I mean, what are you gonna
say to your daughter when
236
00:15:38,103 --> 00:15:43,876
she begs you to accept Jordan as
rehabilitated as she was?
237
00:15:43,942 --> 00:15:47,079
>> Victor: That is
not going to happen.
238
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:53,052
>> Nurse: There's a call
for you, Claire.
239
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:56,922
Your mother, Victoria.
>> Claire: Oh, uh, okay.
240
00:15:56,989 --> 00:16:03,395
Yeah, I'll take it. Thank you.
Hello.
241
00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:08,367
>> Jordan: Claire?
Claire, don't hang up, please.
242
00:16:15,741 --> 00:16:18,377
>> Jack: My God. What
those women put you through.
243
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:20,646
It's just-- it's--
>> Nikki: I know that.
244
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:33,425
There are no words.
When you're hooked up to an IV
245
00:16:33,492 --> 00:16:40,299
with a vodka drip,
you can feel it burning.
246
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:42,234
>> Jack: Oh, geez.
>> Nikki: Going through your
247
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:48,207
veins and then it clouds
your thoughts.
248
00:16:48,273 --> 00:16:51,110
Your thoughts, your emotions.
I-- I didn't know what the
249
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:57,750
hell was going on at first.
It was a familiar feeling,
250
00:16:57,816 --> 00:17:03,255
but I guess without the taste in
your mouth or the weight
251
00:17:03,322 --> 00:17:08,894
of the glass you-- I don't know,
I couldn't place it.
252
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:15,667
But then when I did,
I realized that Jordan
253
00:17:15,734 --> 00:17:21,273
knew exactly what she was doing.
She knew my history.
254
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:25,844
She knew what it would mean
to me as a recovering
255
00:17:25,911 --> 00:17:33,152
alcoholic, down the road.
She wanted me to know that
256
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:39,892
she was totally in control
of-- of me at first.
257
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:44,563
And then before killing my
family with Claire at her side.
258
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,799
Thank God, she was unsuccessful.
>> Jack: Oh, my God.
259
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:51,470
What a sadistic woman.
And Claire.
260
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:56,875
I-- I remember when Victoria and
Cole were grieving the loss of,
261
00:17:56,942 --> 00:17:58,911
well, what they thought was
the death of their child.
262
00:17:58,977 --> 00:18:01,246
>> Nikki: Yes, it was
heartbreaking seeing
263
00:18:01,313 --> 00:18:07,986
Victoria suffer like that.
And yet, decades later,
264
00:18:08,053 --> 00:18:10,422
miracles of miracles.
>> Jack: Oh, yes.
265
00:18:10,489 --> 00:18:13,826
The child lives.
It's a miracle
266
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:16,094
and it's a tragedy.
>> Nikki: Mm.
267
00:18:16,161 --> 00:18:18,964
On so many levels.
>> Jack: And for Claire to have
268
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:21,366
her psyche twisted like that.
If you want to have
269
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:24,536
a relationship with her,
this is-- It's going to take
270
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:27,840
months, maybe years,
and with a world of patience.
271
00:18:27,906 --> 00:18:30,676
All of this while you are trying
to recover from the damage
272
00:18:30,742 --> 00:18:34,513
caused by--
God, the torture
273
00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:41,053
they inflicted on you.
>> Nikki: Well, the only
274
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:46,692
way out is through.
>> Jack: I will be with you
275
00:18:46,758 --> 00:18:54,333
every step of the way.
>> Nikki: I went to see Claire
276
00:18:54,399 --> 00:18:59,972
at the hospital today.
I wanted to know how it
277
00:19:00,038 --> 00:19:06,245
would feel being alone with her.
You know, would I pity her,
278
00:19:06,311 --> 00:19:11,250
would I be enraged?
Would I believe her
279
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,619
when she said that she
wants to get better?
280
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:17,890
>> Jack: Was she receptive?
>> Nikki: Surprisingly, yes.
281
00:19:17,956 --> 00:19:23,328
After a while, she did open up.
>> Jack: And what was
282
00:19:23,395 --> 00:19:28,534
your takeaway when you left?
>> Nikki: She is so damaged.
283
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:34,573
Her whole world
has been upended.
284
00:19:37,376 --> 00:19:41,313
It's like she was hypnotized her
entire life and just had
285
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:45,017
that aunt feeding her lies.
She doesn't even know
286
00:19:45,083 --> 00:19:51,156
what she did or-- or the
consequences for what she did.
287
00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:57,162
All she knew were
the lies that Jordan said.
288
00:19:57,229 --> 00:20:01,166
That Victoria and Cole
didn't want her and that the
289
00:20:01,233 --> 00:20:06,605
Newman family rejected her.
>> Jack: Her aunt
290
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:13,645
is an evil woman.
>> Nikki: She is evil incarnate.
291
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:17,783
>> Jordan: Claire,
are you there?
292
00:20:17,849 --> 00:20:22,788
I can hear you breathing.
I'm sorry that I lied
293
00:20:22,854 --> 00:20:25,290
and told him that
your mother was calling.
294
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:28,660
I just knew that if I told them
it was me, you wouldn't answer.
295
00:20:28,727 --> 00:20:31,396
>> Claire: We have nothing
left to say to each other.
296
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:34,666
It's over.
You're dead to me now.
297
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:37,069
>> Jordan: No.
No, don't say that.
298
00:20:37,135 --> 00:20:41,239
Don't say that.
I only have a couple of minutes,
299
00:20:41,306 --> 00:20:43,775
but you have to listen to me.
This is important.
300
00:20:43,842 --> 00:20:45,777
There's something you
need to understand.
301
00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:49,281
>> Claire: What?
>> Jordan: The Newmans,
302
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:53,518
they're not good for you.
They're going to take you into
303
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:58,023
their world and annihilate you.
They don't deserve you.
304
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:03,495
>> Adam: Dad,
I-- I know that you like
305
00:21:03,562 --> 00:21:06,798
to control every outcome,
but when you're dealing
306
00:21:06,865 --> 00:21:09,635
with unstable, deceitful people,
it's a different story.
307
00:21:09,701 --> 00:21:11,403
>> Victoria: Yeah.
Yeah, you're the expert.
308
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:14,172
We know, we know.
You know, Claire was
309
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:17,109
brave enough to confront Jordan.
She cut all ties with her.
310
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:22,648
>> Adam: Wait.
The two of them met up since
311
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:25,317
they've been arrested?
Nobody thought that
312
00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:27,753
that was suspicious?
I mean, what if they're planning
313
00:21:27,819 --> 00:21:30,589
another escape, Victoria?
>> Victoria: Cole and I took her
314
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:32,424
to the prison in Oregon,
all right? We had
315
00:21:32,491 --> 00:21:35,427
a full security detail with us.
It's what Claire said she needed
316
00:21:35,494 --> 00:21:37,896
to help with her therapy.
>> Adam: Hm.
317
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,532
What did they talk about?
>> Victoria: It was
318
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:43,168
a private conversation.
>> Adam: You weren't even
319
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:45,604
in the room with them?
So, you have no idea
320
00:21:45,671 --> 00:21:48,974
what they talked about. Uh,
did-- did you know about this?
321
00:21:49,041 --> 00:21:52,811
>> Victor: Son, I told you,
I trust your sister's instinct.
322
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,446
Okay?
>> Adam: Tell me you
323
00:21:54,513 --> 00:21:56,248
at least have a recording
of what they said.
324
00:21:56,314 --> 00:21:58,784
>> Victoria: Would you stop?
We know because Claire told
325
00:21:58,850 --> 00:22:01,486
us in no uncertain terms
that she's done with Jordan.
326
00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:04,690
No more contact.
No more conspiracies.
327
00:22:04,756 --> 00:22:07,359
>> Adam: Yes, and she
would say anything to get you to
328
00:22:07,426 --> 00:22:12,230
forgive her, Victoria.
Trust me, I know. I've been in
329
00:22:12,297 --> 00:22:15,634
Claire's shoes with all of you.
>> Nick: So nobody should
330
00:22:15,701 --> 00:22:20,105
believe anything you say.
Is that it, Adam?
331
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:22,541
>> Adam: No, I'm gonna
prove myself to you with
332
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:26,745
my actions over time.
Claire only has her words.
333
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:29,314
Okay, we need to approach
the situation with
334
00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:32,718
a lot less compassion and
massive amounts of caution.
335
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:35,520
>> Victoria: Oh, look at that.
The Newman black sheep telling
336
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:39,291
us to watch ourselves.
How ironic.
337
00:22:39,357 --> 00:22:42,661
>> Adam: Dad,
you know I'm right.
338
00:22:52,604 --> 00:22:54,740
♪♪♪
>> Abby: Oh, look,
339
00:22:54,806 --> 00:22:57,809
Daniel's here with Heather.
>> Devon: He is.
340
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:01,246
>> Abby: Well, it looks like you
guys had the same idea we did.
341
00:23:01,313 --> 00:23:04,783
>> Daniel: What idea is that?
>> Devon: To get a late lunch.
342
00:23:04,850 --> 00:23:08,487
>> Daniel: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
>> Abby: Hi, Heather.
343
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:10,489
How are you?
>> Heather: Doing very well,
344
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:12,624
thanks. It's so nice to see you
both out and about,
345
00:23:12,691 --> 00:23:13,992
taking a little
time for yourselves.
346
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:16,628
>> Devon: You too. Yeah,
we just wanted to say hello.
347
00:23:16,695 --> 00:23:18,063
Didn't mean to interrupt
your conversation.
348
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:19,731
>> Daniel: You're not
interrupting. No worries.
349
00:23:19,798 --> 00:23:22,100
>> Heather: We were actually
just discussing Lucy's schedule.
350
00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:24,636
There's so much back and forth,
all the logistics to work out.
351
00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:26,304
>> Devon: Oh, yeah,
we're just starting to know
352
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:27,706
about that ourselves.
>> Abby: Mm-hmm.
353
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:30,308
>> Heather: I'm sure.
>> Abby: Well, enjoy your lunch.
354
00:23:30,375 --> 00:23:33,378
>> Daniel: Yeah, you too.
>> Devon: See you.
355
00:23:33,445 --> 00:23:36,948
>> Abby: Is this table okay?
>> Devon: Yeah, that's fine.
356
00:23:37,015 --> 00:23:51,897
>> Abby: Thank you.
>> Nikki: Thank God, Claire
357
00:23:51,963 --> 00:23:55,467
>> Abby: Thank you.
>> Nikki: Thank God, Claire
358
00:23:55,534 --> 00:24:00,272
is free of that mad woman.
If there's any justice,
359
00:24:00,338 --> 00:24:03,074
Jordan will spend the rest
of her life behind bars.
360
00:24:03,141 --> 00:24:07,279
>> Jack: It sounds like Claire
is someone you empathize with.
361
00:24:07,345 --> 00:24:11,349
That strikes me as hopeful.
>> Nikki: There was
362
00:24:11,416 --> 00:24:14,986
a glimmer of hope.
There was a moment when
363
00:24:15,053 --> 00:24:22,594
I thought maybe in time,
I could forgive her.
364
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:29,801
But then when she broke down,
I couldn't bring myself
365
00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:34,606
to hug this poor girl,
my granddaughter.
366
00:24:34,673 --> 00:24:41,913
And then-- then I felt
ashamed and upset,
367
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:51,089
and then self-pity that I'm even
in this damn situation.
368
00:24:51,156 --> 00:24:53,258
I know, my emotions are
all over the place.
369
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,327
I'm sorry.
>> Jack: Hey, I think that's
370
00:24:55,393 --> 00:24:59,764
to be expected, don't you?
>> Nikki: I don't know.
371
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:02,901
Sometimes, I think
I have a handle on it.
372
00:25:08,874 --> 00:25:13,845
As soon as I left the room
and the images of
373
00:25:13,912 --> 00:25:17,582
my kidnapping came rushing back,
and whenever that happens,
374
00:25:17,649 --> 00:25:22,687
I am completely overwhelmed.
And I guess that's why
375
00:25:22,754 --> 00:25:26,191
I wanted to have a drink so bad.
>> Jack: And then you
376
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:31,663
called me and that was
a profoundly positive step.
377
00:25:31,730 --> 00:25:33,698
>> Nikki: I'm just grateful
that you were available.
378
00:25:33,765 --> 00:25:36,234
>> Jack: I am always
available to you.
379
00:25:36,301 --> 00:25:39,838
I mean that.
You can count on me.
380
00:25:39,905 --> 00:25:43,275
If you're struggling,
if you just need someone to talk
381
00:25:43,341 --> 00:25:47,078
to, call me, day or night.
I'm there for you.
382
00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:50,582
>> Nikki: Thank you.
You don't know what that means
383
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,184
to me.
>> Jack: You'd do
384
00:25:53,251 --> 00:25:56,121
the same for me.
>> Nikki: Yeah, I would if
385
00:25:56,187 --> 00:25:58,924
I weren't such a mess.
>> Jack: Well, let's take
386
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:03,728
one disaster at a time, huh?
>> Nikki: Good plan.
387
00:26:03,795 --> 00:26:11,703
Now, I need you to swear that
you won't tell Victor anything.
388
00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:15,807
>> Jack: I said I wouldn't
and I won't.
389
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:19,044
You said you maybe wanted
to go to a meeting.
390
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:21,146
It's kind of late.
Why don't-- why don't I take
391
00:26:21,212 --> 00:26:25,483
you back to the ranch, okay?
>> Nikki: I think I'll have
392
00:26:25,550 --> 00:26:29,354
our driver pick me up and
then I'll get my car
393
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:32,891
at the hospital later.
>> Jack: Okay.
394
00:26:32,958 --> 00:26:38,897
>> Nikki: Thank you, so much.
Thank you.
395
00:26:41,533 --> 00:26:46,905
>> Victor: Son, I understand
your questions
396
00:26:46,972 --> 00:26:52,410
and I assure you that no one,
least of all Victoria, wants to
397
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:55,447
put our family in danger again.
>> Adam: Yeah, that
398
00:26:55,513 --> 00:26:59,250
is all well and good.
I just don't trust any of it.
399
00:26:59,317 --> 00:27:01,419
>> Victoria: Well,
what you think and who you trust
400
00:27:01,486 --> 00:27:04,289
isn't relevant here.
Claire's my daughter.
401
00:27:04,356 --> 00:27:06,524
I'm her family.
In fact, you know,
402
00:27:06,591 --> 00:27:09,427
we're all her family.
>> Adam: Well, unless
403
00:27:09,494 --> 00:27:12,564
I misheard,
that hasn't been decided yet.
404
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:17,302
It was if and when, according to
you and Dad, when I walked in.
405
00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:19,404
>> Nick: You're really not
helping your cause, Adam.
406
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,639
You need to let it go.
>> Victoria: You know, why don't
407
00:27:21,706 --> 00:27:25,710
we just cut to the chase?
What this is all really about?
408
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:28,613
You're worried that my daughter
is gonna jeopardize your
409
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,316
place in this family and
that we're gonna love her
410
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:35,387
more than we love you.
>> Adam: Well, any love would be
411
00:27:35,453 --> 00:27:39,657
more love than I get from you,
so no, that's not my concern.
412
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:48,533
>> Nick: Then what is, Adam?
>> Adam: Claire's aunt.
413
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,070
I seriously doubt we've
heard the last from her.
414
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:55,473
And you would all be wise
to think the same way.
415
00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:04,649
>> Claire: You're wrong, Jordan.
The Newmans care about me.
416
00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:09,921
They want me to get better.
They want me to have a future.
417
00:28:09,988 --> 00:28:13,058
I'm the one who doesn't deserve
them and you don't deserve me.
418
00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:15,593
You ruined my life.
>> Jordan: Claire.
419
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:19,497
>> Claire: I want you dead.
Do you hear me, dead?
420
00:28:19,564 --> 00:28:23,668
>> Jordan: Claire.
Claire, don't leave me!
421
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:42,654
>> Abby: Okay.
So, before you commit
422
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,624
to anything or make some sort of
presentation, I wanna make sure
423
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:49,527
you really think it's a good
idea to bring me on the board.
424
00:28:49,594 --> 00:28:51,529
>> Devon: I don't think
it's a good idea.
425
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:54,332
I think it's a great idea.
And I don't think I'm gonna have
426
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,601
to do a lot of selling either
because I know that Lily
427
00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:58,970
and Jill will see the value that
you bring straight away.
428
00:28:59,037 --> 00:29:01,072
>> Abby: Well, good.
I'm glad to hear that
429
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:04,876
because besides beefing up
defenses against Tucker,
430
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:07,345
the thought of being back in
the corporate world,
431
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:09,447
it really excites me.
>> Devon: Yeah?
432
00:29:09,514 --> 00:29:12,150
Are you not enjoying
running this place anymore?
433
00:29:12,217 --> 00:29:14,719
>> Abby: No, I am. I do.
I love it here.
434
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:17,722
This place has been successful
since the day it opened.
435
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:20,859
I just-- I feel like
I've hit a ceiling.
436
00:29:20,925 --> 00:29:24,028
>> Devon: How so?
>> Abby: Well, the only way to
437
00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:26,631
make this place more
successful is to expand,
438
00:29:26,698 --> 00:29:29,567
open another location
and then it wouldn't
439
00:29:29,634 --> 00:29:32,337
be as exclusive and I don't want
it to lose its cachet.
440
00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:34,205
>> Devon: Have you thought
about doing it though?
441
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:37,775
About a whole new location, a
new clientele, a different vibe.
442
00:29:37,842 --> 00:29:40,645
>> Abby: I have. You know,
I thought maybe Genoa City could
443
00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:43,181
use another private dining room
like the old colonnade room.
444
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:44,916
>> Devon: Oh, yeah.
I can see that working.
445
00:29:44,983 --> 00:29:46,885
>> Abby: But honestly,
I'm not a restaurateur.
446
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:50,188
I mean, all of this, it just
kind of fell into my lap.
447
00:29:50,255 --> 00:29:53,892
>> Devon: That's true.
You have taken on a lot of
448
00:29:53,958 --> 00:29:56,661
challenges since I've known you.
Have you stuck with just
449
00:29:56,728 --> 00:29:59,564
one project for as long as
you've been here at Society?
450
00:29:59,631 --> 00:30:03,234
>> Abby: This place has been
very good to me for a long time.
451
00:30:03,301 --> 00:30:06,738
And it was perfect when
Dominic was a teeny baby.
452
00:30:06,804 --> 00:30:08,573
>> Devon: It's just
not perfect anymore.
453
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,009
>> Abby: I know, I just-- I
don't want to get pigeonholed
454
00:30:11,075 --> 00:30:14,746
into the hospitality field.
You know, I have so many other
455
00:30:14,812 --> 00:30:19,517
interests and honestly, I've
been feeling a little bit antsy.
456
00:30:19,584 --> 00:30:22,520
And when I think about
when I worked at Newman,
457
00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:25,490
the rush I used to get
being in the C-suite.
458
00:30:25,557 --> 00:30:27,225
>> Devon: I remember you
being frustrated when you
459
00:30:27,292 --> 00:30:28,626
had that job though.
>> Abby: Okay.
460
00:30:28,693 --> 00:30:30,929
Yes, I did, a little bit
because there were a lot of
461
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:33,031
players involved and being
a baby in the family.
462
00:30:33,097 --> 00:30:35,233
I mean, no one really took me
seriously or listened
463
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,836
to what I had to say, but
I just-- I love the idea of
464
00:30:38,903 --> 00:30:41,339
the day-to-day, like being
involved in the corporate world.
465
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:43,007
>> Devon: Really?
>> Abby: I do. Yeah.
466
00:30:43,074 --> 00:30:44,909
>> Devon: You miss that?
You never talk about it.
467
00:30:44,976 --> 00:30:47,378
What do you miss about it?
>> Abby: Well, I miss all of it.
468
00:30:47,445 --> 00:30:49,514
I miss having a bird's eye
view into everything going on in
469
00:30:49,581 --> 00:30:51,249
the corporate world.
You know, all of the
470
00:30:51,316 --> 00:30:54,953
things that happen there.
You know, being able to put in
471
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:58,122
place corporate policy that will
make a difference in the world.
472
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,693
And yes, I know, I know
that there are a lot of politics
473
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:04,429
involved and there might
be some roadblocks in
474
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:07,198
making a positive change
and I-- I understand that.
475
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:09,467
>> Devon: There's definitely
politics on every board,
476
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:11,402
of every company,
including Chancellor-Winters.
477
00:31:11,469 --> 00:31:17,175
And it's not to the extent of
a Newman or Jabot, but you might
478
00:31:17,242 --> 00:31:21,112
want to taper your expectations.
>> Abby: I understand and I have
479
00:31:21,179 --> 00:31:23,414
a lot of experience with that.
My feet are firmly
480
00:31:23,481 --> 00:31:25,917
planted on the ground.
>> Devon: Except when you're
481
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:28,586
dancing with Dominic
around the living room.
482
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:31,289
>> Abby: I just-- I think I have
a lot more to offer
483
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:34,292
being on the board at
Chancellor-Winters than just a
484
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:39,197
vote against all things Tucker.
>> Victoria: Jordan is
485
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:41,366
in custody.
She is no longer a threat.
486
00:31:41,432 --> 00:31:45,370
Once she's convicted,
she's gonna die in prison.
487
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:47,772
>> Adam: You can't
guarantee that.
488
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:50,341
And if she ever gets out,
we're gonna be her first stop,
489
00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:52,744
Victoria.
>> Nikki: Sorry to interrupt.
490
00:31:52,810 --> 00:31:55,747
>> Victor: There you are.
Where have you been, my baby,
491
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:57,515
I've been worried about you.
You all right?
492
00:31:57,582 --> 00:32:00,852
>> Nikki: Yeah, I'm fine.
What did I walk in on?
493
00:32:00,918 --> 00:32:03,988
>> Victoria: Apparently, Claire
poses a terrible threat
494
00:32:04,055 --> 00:32:07,592
to Adam's ego.
>> Adam: No, it's not
495
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:10,695
about being threatened.
Okay, I don't know
496
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:13,398
all the details,
but I do know that you all went
497
00:32:13,464 --> 00:32:17,502
to hell and back over Christmas
and maybe I'd like to know
498
00:32:17,568 --> 00:32:19,937
that you're safe now.
And there aren't some threats
499
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:21,939
hanging out in the air.
>> Victoria: Oh, all right.
500
00:32:22,006 --> 00:32:24,942
So just add mistrust and
paranoia to being threatened.
501
00:32:25,009 --> 00:32:27,312
>> Adam: Victoria,
is-- is it really just all
502
00:32:27,378 --> 00:32:29,547
in the past for you?
It's all over. It's done now.
503
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:34,952
>> Nikki: Of course, it isn't.
But we are handling it.
504
00:32:35,019 --> 00:32:37,221
>> Victoria: Okay, I know
what Jordan is capable of.
505
00:32:37,288 --> 00:32:39,891
I know that.
But Claire was her victim
506
00:32:39,957 --> 00:32:41,926
a lot longer than we were,
so we need to have
507
00:32:41,993 --> 00:32:44,529
a little compassion,
a little understanding,
508
00:32:44,595 --> 00:32:48,232
not your knee-jerk suspicions.
>> Adam: You know, I bet if Nick
509
00:32:48,299 --> 00:32:50,601
was giving you this advice,
you would take it to heart more.
510
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:53,738
>> Nick: Don't count on it.
Vic's all in. Her daughter
511
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:56,974
is her main concern.
It took me a minute,
512
00:32:57,041 --> 00:33:00,311
but I support her, so I see
her side of things.
513
00:33:00,378 --> 00:33:03,281
>> Victor: You need to
do the same, my boy.
514
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:11,956
>> Adam: Whatever you say.
I gotta get back to work.
515
00:33:12,023 --> 00:33:15,626
>> Victor: You have a good day.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
516
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:20,631
>> Claire: Please don't
ever bring me a call
517
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:23,434
from that number again.
That wasn't my mother.
518
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:25,436
>> Nurse: Sorry,
I'll make a note of it.
519
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:31,743
Who was it on the phone?
>> Claire: The devil.
520
00:33:38,282 --> 00:33:40,284
>> Devon: All right, babe.
So, you're serious about
521
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,886
doing this, right?
'Cause I'm gonna pull
522
00:33:41,953 --> 00:33:43,521
the trigger.
>> Abby: I am.
523
00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:44,989
Unless you think
it's a bad idea?
524
00:33:45,056 --> 00:33:47,525
>> Devon: Please.
I love the idea of getting
525
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:50,328
to work alongside of you.
And the idea of you doing
526
00:33:50,395 --> 00:33:53,231
something that's different
than running a restaurant.
527
00:33:53,297 --> 00:33:55,433
>> Abby: I think
it would be great. I mean,
528
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:58,169
I think I would be a great asset
to Chancellor-Winters.
529
00:33:58,236 --> 00:34:02,006
And it would push me to maximize
my creative instincts.
530
00:34:02,073 --> 00:34:03,875
>> Devon: Of which,
there are many.
531
00:34:03,941 --> 00:34:07,478
>> Abby: Yeah.
>> Devon: No really, I, uh,
532
00:34:07,545 --> 00:34:09,747
I appreciate you bringing
this idea to me because I'm
533
00:34:09,814 --> 00:34:21,759
excited to see where it goes.
>> Abby: Okay, what's going on?
534
00:34:24,929 --> 00:34:27,932
>> Nikki: Funny you were talking
about Claire when I came in.
535
00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:31,235
I just came from seeing her.
>> Victoria: You went
536
00:34:31,302 --> 00:34:33,638
to see Claire?
>> Nick: On your own?
537
00:34:33,704 --> 00:34:37,175
>> Victoria: How does she look?
No, how does she sound?
538
00:34:37,241 --> 00:34:40,178
>> Nikki: Still fragile,
but gathering strength.
539
00:34:40,244 --> 00:34:43,381
And I learned a lot about her.
It made me see her
540
00:34:43,448 --> 00:34:46,617
in a new light.
>> Victoria: I'm so
541
00:34:46,684 --> 00:34:48,119
happy to hear that.
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
542
00:34:48,186 --> 00:34:50,388
why in the world would you
confront her by yourself?
543
00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:53,257
I mean, no backup, no support.
>> Nikki: It wasn't
544
00:34:53,324 --> 00:34:57,762
a confrontation.
It was enlightening.
545
00:34:57,829 --> 00:35:00,565
>> Victoria: Really?
In what way?
546
00:35:00,631 --> 00:35:05,703
>> Nikki: Well, she shared
her feelings with me, her fears.
547
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:08,539
And I asked her how
she spends her days.
548
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:12,443
She's allowed to walk around the
hospital for exercise, uh,
549
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:16,380
supervised, of course.
And her favorite place to
550
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:21,352
go is the children's ward.
>> Nick: Why there?
551
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:24,422
>> Nikki: She likes to see them
interact with each other
552
00:35:24,489 --> 00:35:27,058
and with their families.
'Cause that's something
553
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:29,760
she never had.
>> Victoria: That's
554
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:32,930
terribly sad.
But you went there to see her to
555
00:35:32,997 --> 00:35:35,500
try to understand her more
and I bet that
556
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:38,402
gave her some hope.
I bet it means a lot to her that
557
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:41,038
she has a family that
wants to support her.
558
00:35:41,105 --> 00:35:46,811
>> Nikki: Well, she's not really
clear on what family is.
559
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:50,948
But those walks she takes
will help her learn.
560
00:35:51,015 --> 00:35:54,952
Claire is trying to fill
an empty place in her heart.
561
00:35:55,019 --> 00:35:58,956
I think those instincts
are exactly right.
562
00:35:59,023 --> 00:36:02,460
We have to have faith
that she will get there.
