00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:34,373
Oh, see?
This is why I love that school.
164
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,142
>> Billy: They're on top
of things.
165
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:38,744
>> Chelsea: Yes, they said
they will keep an eye on Connor.
166
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:41,013
They will work on getting him
back to his sleep schedule,
167
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,848
and they'll make sure he's
eating again because he's been
168
00:09:42,915 --> 00:09:45,351
so upset that he hasn't been
able to think about food.
169
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,119
>> Billy: That's good.
Just get him back to basics.
170
00:09:47,186 --> 00:09:48,821
He'll be all right.
>> Chelsea: The way they
171
00:09:48,888 --> 00:09:51,390
explained things was really,
really helpful, so I just
172
00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:53,459
have to make Adam understand
it's not the right time
173
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:55,895
to go visit Connor.
Let's see if he takes
174
00:09:55,962 --> 00:09:58,631
their advice.
>> Billy: You want me to join
175
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:01,033
you for moral support?
>> Chelsea: I would love that,
176
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:04,003
but I think that would
set Adam off even more.
177
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:07,139
Thank you for the tea
and the advice.
178
00:10:07,206 --> 00:10:09,442
>> Billy: Of course.
>> Sharon: Hey there.
179
00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:14,080
>> Chelsea: Oh, Sharon. Hi.
Congrats again on your launch.
180
00:10:14,146 --> 00:10:15,614
>> Sharon: Thank you.
Thank you so much.
181
00:10:15,681 --> 00:10:17,550
>> Chelsea: I want to hear more
about it, but unfortunately,
182
00:10:17,616 --> 00:10:19,919
I have to run, I'll--
I'll see you soon, though.
183
00:10:19,986 --> 00:10:21,954
Wish me luck.
>> Billy: I'll check in
184
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:25,591
with you later.
>> Chelsea: Okay.
185
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:31,130
[ Billy sighs ]
>> Sharon: So, how
186
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:35,267
are things going?
>> Billy: Uh, yeah.
187
00:10:35,334 --> 00:10:37,703
Everything's good.
Chelsea's just dealing with
188
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:41,774
some co-parenting issues.
>> Sharon: Well, I hope
189
00:10:41,841 --> 00:10:44,343
Connor's okay.
>> Billy: I think
190
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:47,380
he's going to be just fine.
Of course, Adam is handling it
191
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:49,181
the way you would expect
Adam to handle it.
192
00:10:49,248 --> 00:10:52,051
>> Sharon: Is that why, uh,
you weren't at the meeting today
193
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:57,523
with Devon and Nate?
>> Billy: What meeting?
194
00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,926
>> Sharon: To finalize
the partnership.
195
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:04,230
>> Billy: I wasn't aware
there was a meeting.
196
00:11:04,296 --> 00:11:06,198
And I don't have anything
in my calendar.
197
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:08,434
Who set this meeting, Sharon?
Because I assume that I should
198
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,970
have been a part of it.
>> Sharon: Well, I had reached
199
00:11:11,037 --> 00:11:13,939
out to Devon, but I just assumed
you'd be there.
200
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:15,908
>> Billy: Yeah, well,
nothing's getting finalized
201
00:11:15,975 --> 00:11:18,811
without me, so I assumed
I should have been there, too.
202
00:11:18,878 --> 00:11:22,014
But I guess Devon doesn't agree.
>> Sharon: Oh, well, I don't
203
00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:25,785
think it was anything like that.
Um, and nothing
204
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:27,820
has been finalized.
He said that he's going to run
205
00:11:27,887 --> 00:11:30,623
the numbers by Jill and you,
and then send them over later.
206
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:32,124
>> Billy: And yet
no fresh emails,
207
00:11:32,191 --> 00:11:35,694
and my phone isn't ringing.
>> Sharon: Are you and Devon
208
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:39,331
having some kind of a conflict?
Because if there's going to be
209
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:41,700
issues before this partnership
even gets off the ground--
210
00:11:41,767 --> 00:11:43,869
>> Billy: It's nothing
like that.
211
00:11:43,936 --> 00:11:46,238
We're just figuring out
how to work together again.
212
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:48,774
That's all it is.
>> Sharon: As long as it's not
213
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:51,911
going to be contentious.
>> Billy: It's all about
214
00:11:51,977 --> 00:11:56,449
collaboration for me.
>> Sharon: Uh-huh.
215
00:11:56,515 --> 00:11:59,385
>> Billy: Look,
if I get my feathers ruffled
216
00:11:59,452 --> 00:12:01,053
because of a missed meeting,
that's one thing.
217
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,988
I just don't want it
to get to my mother, okay?
218
00:12:03,055 --> 00:12:06,759
So, I will remind Devon
that I need to be kept
219
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:09,128
in the loop.
Other than that, everything
220
00:12:09,195 --> 00:12:14,266
is going to be just great.
221
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,302
>> Nate: There's nothing
going on between Audra and me.
222
00:12:16,368 --> 00:12:19,405
>> Devon: Then, why do you keep
looking over at her?
223
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:21,707
>> Nate: She and I
worked closely together.
224
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:25,244
I just hate to see her
get sucked back into Tucker's
225
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:27,480
drama again.
I thought she'd finally
226
00:12:27,546 --> 00:12:29,515
shaken him off.
>> Devon: Yeah, but who cares?
227
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:32,318
She's a grown woman.
And after everything
228
00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:34,220
Tucker's done,
I'm sure she's aware of it.
229
00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:35,888
And the fact that she's
sitting over there holding
230
00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:40,359
his hand should tell you
all you need to know about her.
231
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:44,029
>> Nate: You may be right.
>> Devon: I am definitely right.
232
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:48,434
And I would recommend
that you steer clear of her.
233
00:12:48,501 --> 00:12:50,870
Because she's nothing but drama.
And you don't need her
234
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:52,705
drawing you back
into a place that your family
235
00:12:52,771 --> 00:12:58,544
doesn't want you to be in.
236
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,312
>> Audra: You're not really
a public display
237
00:13:00,379 --> 00:13:03,349
of affection guy.
>> Tucker: You haven't pulled
238
00:13:03,415 --> 00:13:06,986
your hand away.
>> Audra: I don't hate it.
239
00:13:07,052 --> 00:13:10,089
>> Tucker: Mm.
>> Audra: But that doesn't mean
240
00:13:10,156 --> 00:13:12,925
you can distract me
from business.
241
00:13:12,992 --> 00:13:18,931
>> Tucker: Ugh.
>> Audra: So, what happens now?
242
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:21,634
>> Tucker: Well,
bringing you back
243
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,836
changes my original plan,
so I'll have to do
244
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:26,872
some thinking about it.
>> Audra: Work it out together?
245
00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:29,808
It shouldn't be that hard.
After all, I was going to
246
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:33,212
run Glissade when your plan
was to fold it into Jabot.
247
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:38,517
So you must have had a plan when
you first asked me to join you.
248
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:45,057
Okay, come here.
Look, everything you wanted
249
00:13:45,124 --> 00:13:49,962
to have with Ashley,
you can have with me.
250
00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:54,433
Only it will be real.
Not some fantasy
251
00:13:54,500 --> 00:14:02,074
or unattainable ideal.
Hey, if I'm in,
252
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:07,913
I am all the way in.
And you claim you are too.
253
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:12,351
>> Tucker: 100%.
Never doubt that.
254
00:14:12,418 --> 00:14:17,523
And I'm glad to be there.
But right now, can we just
255
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:20,993
bask in the afterglow?
Being us,
256
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:24,029
over a nice lunch,
without talking business?
257
00:14:24,096 --> 00:14:28,701
>> Audra: Yeah, of course.
Just remember,
258
00:14:28,767 --> 00:14:32,137
you make promises.
And I'm going to make sure
259
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:35,174
you remember every
single one of them.
260
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:40,212
>> Tucker: Yes, ma'am.
[ Tucker sighs ]
261
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:46,151
>> Ashley: Sorry about that.
Oh, Tucker just upsets me.
262
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:48,454
>> Traci: I wish that you could
see that when you let him
263
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,423
do that, you let him win.
I really don't like
264
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:54,360
that you called him.
The only way to take back
265
00:14:54,426 --> 00:14:56,428
control is to not think
about him at all.
266
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:58,163
>> Ashley: I was trying
to do that, that's why
267
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:00,466
I came here, was to get closure.
Instead, I was just faced with
268
00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:03,936
a bunch of Tucker's new lies.
I just have to go
269
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:06,338
in another direction.
>> Traci: Well, I hope that
270
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:08,874
direction includes exorcising
him from your thoughts
271
00:15:08,941 --> 00:15:18,050
and moving on with your life.
272
00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:23,088
>> Tucker: I'm done.
Goodbye, Ashley.
273
00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:27,860
Go to hell.
274
00:15:27,926 --> 00:15:29,928
>> Traci: Ashley?
275
00:15:43,175 --> 00:15:49,415
>> Traci: Ashley. Oh, I knew
that coming here was a mistake.
276
00:15:49,481 --> 00:15:51,784
>> Ashley: I keep thinking
about Tucker's version
277
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:53,319
of what happened here
and he's wrong.
278
00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:56,922
It did not happen that way.
>> Traci: Okay, you know what?
279
00:15:56,989 --> 00:16:00,526
Why don't we go get
on that jet and go home?
280
00:16:00,592 --> 00:16:03,529
We've learned all we can here.
Why stay the night?
281
00:16:03,595 --> 00:16:05,998
>> Ashley: Yeah, I'm not ready
to give up or go home.
282
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,901
>> Traci: But what else
is there for us to do?
283
00:16:08,967 --> 00:16:10,869
>> Ashley: If Tucker can get
the waiter to lie,
284
00:16:10,936 --> 00:16:13,472
then maybe I can get him
to tell the truth.
285
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:14,540
>> Traci: And how are you
gonna do that?
286
00:16:14,606 --> 00:16:17,142
Offer him your own bribe?
>> Ashley: Of course not.
287
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:21,046
I could pay him for his time.
>> Traci: Ashley,
288
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:25,017
any waiter who can be bought
by the highest bidder is never
289
00:16:25,084 --> 00:16:28,020
going to tell you the truth.
I think we have to face
290
00:16:28,087 --> 00:16:30,089
the possibility we've reached
a dead end here.
291
00:16:30,155 --> 00:16:32,424
>> Ashley: I'm not
accepting defeat.
292
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:35,394
>> Traci: I wish you wouldn't
think of it as win or lose.
293
00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:38,864
How about moving on
with your life?
294
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:42,334
Ashley, the waiter
lied or he didn't lie.
295
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:44,069
We're not going to know
unless we hook him up
296
00:16:44,136 --> 00:16:46,338
to a lie detector test.
>> Ashley: Well, I could make
297
00:16:46,405 --> 00:16:49,174
the suggestion.
>> Traci: Please,
298
00:16:49,241 --> 00:16:51,110
you've got to find a way
to let this all go
299
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:54,113
and I will do everything
in my power to help you.
300
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:56,482
And so will Jack,
and so will Billy.
301
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,984
Come on, let's just go home.
>> Ashley: Please.
302
00:16:59,051 --> 00:17:00,519
>> Traci: Surrounded by people
who love you.
303
00:17:00,586 --> 00:17:04,990
>> Ashley: Stop treating me
with kid gloves, please.
304
00:17:05,057 --> 00:17:07,059
What, you think I'm going crazy?
305
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:16,335
>> Chelsea: Thank you
for waiting.
306
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:20,272
[ Adam clears throat ]
>> Adam: Mm-hmm, of course.
307
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:22,708
Nothing is more important
than our son.
308
00:17:22,775 --> 00:17:24,810
>> Chelsea: I know how much
you love him, Adam.
309
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:30,649
And I-- I know that's why
you get so, uh, intense.
310
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:35,320
>> Adam: Yes, yes, I overreacted
when I first heard, I threatened
311
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:37,289
to pull him out of the school,
but it's only because
312
00:17:37,356 --> 00:17:40,058
I care about him so much.
>> Chelsea: We both do.
313
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:42,928
And that's why we have to
do what's best for Connor.
314
00:17:42,995 --> 00:17:46,165
>> Adam: Agreed.
>> Chelsea: Okay, uh, well, I
315
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:48,534
spoke to his guidance counselor
and the head of the school,
316
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,337
and they are going to put
some protocols in place.
317
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:54,640
They're going to make
some accommodations.
318
00:17:54,706 --> 00:17:59,144
Get him some more tutoring.
And, uh, evaluate him
319
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:02,014
to figure out what's going on.
So, it is a long process
320
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,216
and when you're diagnosing
a learning difference,
321
00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:07,686
it does take time.
And, um, it's very specific.
322
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:10,889
So they think that we should
wait until parents weekend
323
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:14,593
to go visit.
>> Adam: And you made all of
324
00:18:14,660 --> 00:18:18,897
these decisions already
without me?
325
00:18:18,964 --> 00:18:22,634
>> Chelsea: Um, no. Actually,
I was just getting advice
326
00:18:22,701 --> 00:18:25,838

Um, I just needed their advice
327
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:28,540
as to what to do and make sure
and clarify that we should wait
328
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:30,108
before we go
visit our son at school.
329
00:18:30,175 --> 00:18:32,411
>> Adam: You mean you were
getting more ammunition
330
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:34,713
to back up your opinion?
>> Chelsea: I think that
331
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:36,682
creating conflict is probably
not a good thing for our son
332
00:18:36,748 --> 00:18:38,817
right now is what I'm saying.
>> Adam: Or, in other words,
333
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:39,985
you think that I'm going to
make a scene.
334
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:41,353
>> Chelsea: Adam, you just
admitted that you overreacted
335
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:43,155
when I told you about this
in the first place.
336
00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:45,290
>> Adam: That's because I'm
playing catch up, responding
337
00:18:45,357 --> 00:18:47,226
to partial information.
>> Chelsea: What are you talking
338
00:18:47,292 --> 00:18:50,329
about? I'm here talking to you
so we can be on the same page.
339
00:18:50,395 --> 00:18:52,064
>> Adam: Okay, do I get
any input?
340
00:18:52,130 --> 00:18:53,765
>> Chelsea: Of course you
get input.
341
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:55,868
>> Adam: Connor called you,
you called the school,
342
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:57,503
and now you are making
decisions about Connor before
343
00:18:57,569 --> 00:18:59,304
anybody has consulted me.
>> Chelsea: If you just
344
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:01,340
listen to me--
>> Adam: Chelsea, he has
345
00:19:01,406 --> 00:19:03,208
two parents.
You don't get to call
346
00:19:03,275 --> 00:19:07,846
all the shots.
347
00:19:07,913 --> 00:19:10,849
>> Nate: You still think I'm
one slip away from
348
00:19:10,916 --> 00:19:13,218
betraying our family again,
after all I've done
349
00:19:13,285 --> 00:19:17,456
to repair things.
>> Devon: Well, listen,
350
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:20,893
something caused you
to betray us before, right?
351
00:19:20,959 --> 00:19:24,863
You didn't just do it.
And I suspect that
352
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:29,368
your weakness has to do with
the temptation of wanting more.
353
00:19:29,434 --> 00:19:31,670
>> Nate: What is that supposed
to mean?
354
00:19:31,737 --> 00:19:35,340
>> Devon: It means that having
ambition is fine and great
355
00:19:35,407 --> 00:19:37,943
as long as it doesn't cloud your
judgment and lead you to make
356
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:40,779
bad decisions that only serve
yourself and not the company
357
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:44,449
that you work for.
And Victoria was the road
358
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:48,220
to you doing that.
And from what I've seen,
359
00:19:48,287 --> 00:19:50,722
it just--
I feel like Audra
360
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:56,128
presents that same temptation.
361
00:19:56,194 --> 00:19:59,831
>> Tucker: You think you'll ever
really trust me?
362
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:01,867

taught me to never fully
363
00:20:01,934 --> 00:20:07,372

I know you don't trust me.
364
00:20:07,439 --> 00:20:09,408
You suspect I have
my own agenda.

of the thrill.
366

How alike we are.
How we keep each other
367
00:20:14,212 --> 00:20:18,450

>> Tucker: Hm.
369

In our happy place.
Ah.
370
00:20:27,092 --> 00:20:30,128
I don't want you to ever
tell me your plan
371
00:20:30,195 --> 00:20:32,431
of your own accord. I want to
figure it out on my own.
372
00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:35,534
It's much more thrilling for me.
>> Audra: Look, I'm not sure
373
00:20:35,601 --> 00:20:38,070
being constantly suspicious
of each other is as romantic
374
00:20:38,136 --> 00:20:40,038
as you think it is.
>> Tucker: Oh, well, what could
375
00:20:40,105 --> 00:20:45,477
be more romantic?
We thrive on-- on mystery,
376
00:20:45,544 --> 00:20:49,548
on piecing everything together.
And there's always the chance
377
00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:53,418
we could seduce
information from each other.
378
00:20:53,485 --> 00:20:55,354
I certainly look forward
to doing that with you.

get Jill and Billy to sign off
on these numbers

Billy didn't show up
for this meeting.

Was he tied up?
>> Devon: Uh, no. No he wasn't.
387

I just figured that
you'd been running the numbers

I'm just wondering
how Billy would take that.

>> Devon: I mean, there's
nothing to take.
392

There's-- there's no reason
for the three of us to meet.

Sharon didn't bring her

the idea to the two of you
395

in the first place, didn't she?
>> Devon: She did. Yeah.
396

But this is just one of many
meetings over the course

403
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:19,171
it doesn't hurt, but
you're not as cold-blooded
404

as you pretend to be.
>> Tucker: Hey, I-- I
405
00:22:21,573 --> 00:22:23,809
tried to repair things with him.
If he doesn't want me in his

Nate, on the other hand,

he couldn't keep
his eyes off you.

you giving me the time of day.

Nah, he's obviously got a thing
for you.

Those, uh, those trysts

to know?
Wouldn't that break our rules
416
00:23:02,013 --> 00:23:04,783
of engagement, of keeping
each other guessing?

just to business.

He is younger and better looking
than me.

why he was shooting

a better father, you know, hell,
if I had-- had just been there
483
00:27:24,676 --> 00:27:28,413
for him when he was little.
>> Chelsea: Sally's right.
484
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,849
Connor knows how much
you love him.
485
00:27:30,915 --> 00:27:36,821
So do I.
I have to be honest with you.
486
00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:40,859
I'm-- I'm surprised to
see you come around like this.
487
00:27:40,925 --> 00:27:45,196
In the past, you...
>> Adam: Probably would have
488
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:50,969
dug in and doubled down.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, exactly.
489
00:27:51,036 --> 00:27:53,038
>> Adam: I'm working on
controlling my
490
00:27:53,104 --> 00:27:56,074
less than productive tendencies.
>> Chelsea: Oh, well look
491
00:27:56,141 --> 00:28:03,848
at you.
[ phone ringing ]
492
00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:06,418
>> Adam: It's Connor.
What do I say?
493
00:28:06,484 --> 00:28:09,254
You want to wait?
Should I call him back?
494
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,623
>> Chelsea: Answer it.
Let's talk to him together.
495
00:28:11,689 --> 00:28:19,330
>> Adam: Connor, buddy.
496
00:28:19,397 --> 00:28:23,268
I'm here with your mom.
497
00:28:23,334 --> 00:28:26,304
>> Billy: Hey.
>> Devon: Hey, Billy.
498
00:28:26,371 --> 00:28:28,640
>> Billy: So, I heard you had
a meeting with Sharon about
499
00:28:28,706 --> 00:28:31,309
finalizing the partnership.
>> Devon: Yes, we did. And
500
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:35,080
it went really well, actually.
And Nate has some numbers
501
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:37,382
to share with you and Jill,
so we can get them back over
502
00:28:37,449 --> 00:28:41,052
to Sharon as soon as possible.
>> Billy: Seems like something
503
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,824
I should have been a part of.
Sharon agrees, actually.
504
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,526
Is there a reason
why I was excluded?
505
00:28:48,593 --> 00:28:50,762
>> Devon: You weren't excluded
on purpose.
506
00:28:50,829 --> 00:28:52,497
The meeting just came together
quickly and I knew we
507
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:55,433
wanted to keep the ball rolling,
so I made it happen.
508
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,802
We didn't sign any contracts
or anything like that.
509
00:28:57,869 --> 00:29:00,138
>> Billy: Well, you can't.
Not without me.
510
00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:02,307
>> Nate: Uh, Billy, if you have
any issues with the numbers,
511
00:29:02,373 --> 00:29:04,943
uh, we can adjust.
Nothing's been set in stone.
512
00:29:05,009 --> 00:29:06,611
>> Devon: Yeah, nobody's making
deals behind your back.
513
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:08,580
We told Sharon that we have to
run all the points
514
00:29:08,646 --> 00:29:10,949
by you and Jill.
And I think you're going to be
515
00:29:11,015 --> 00:29:13,084
really impressed, too, because
Nate's done a fantastic job.
516
00:29:13,151 --> 00:29:15,587
>> Nate: This is going to be
an exciting venture.
517
00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:18,690
Lots of potential.
>> Billy: Great.
518
00:29:18,756 --> 00:29:21,593
Happy to hear that.
So let's just chalk it up
519
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:23,795
to a scheduling mishap.
Make sure it doesn't
520
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:25,997
happen again.
Because this is all about
521
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:28,733
collaboration, right?
That's how we keep
522
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,837
Chancellor-Winters strong.
>> Devon: Yeah.
523
00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:35,940
>> Nate: Agreed. Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: Great.
524
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:38,910
Because I don't think we're free
of Tucker's threat.
525
00:29:38,977 --> 00:29:40,845
So, let's get this deal done
as soon as we can,
526
00:29:40,912 --> 00:29:44,549
so we become so big
that he can't mess with us.
527
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,651
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a meeting of my own.
528
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,019
Give me those numbers
when you can,
529
00:29:48,086 --> 00:29:50,421
and I'll get to them.
Thanks, guys.
530
00:29:50,488 --> 00:29:59,130
>> Devon: Yep.
531
00:29:59,197 --> 00:30:03,001
>> Traci: I swear, I am not
implying there is anything wrong
532
00:30:03,067 --> 00:30:06,471
with your mental state.
I'm just saying, Tucker has
533
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:09,641
worked his way into your head.
He's taking up
534
00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:13,311
undeserved space there.
He's not worth it.
535
00:30:13,378 --> 00:30:15,446
>> Ashley: Damn right, he's not.
>> Traci: And I really believe
536
00:30:15,513 --> 00:30:17,382
that it would just be better
for you to move on,
537
00:30:17,448 --> 00:30:20,919
surrounded by your family.
Staying here in Paris, it's just
538
00:30:20,985 --> 00:30:23,688
reminding you of the trauma.
>> Ashley: Yeah. You're
539
00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:26,791
not wrong.
This place has a lot of
540
00:30:26,858 --> 00:30:29,794
bad energy.
I can't wait to be rid of it.
541
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:32,664
>> Traci: Oh, thank God.
Thank God. Let's go home.
542
00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:36,534
I will call the jet.
>> Ashley: I'm not ready to go.
543
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:37,769
I'm not leaving.
544
00:30:47,979 --> 00:30:49,881
>> Chelsea: Okay, mister.
Well, we can't wait to see you
545
00:30:49,948 --> 00:30:53,184
over parents weekend.
>> Adam: Yeah, you got this.
546
00:30:53,251 --> 00:30:56,521
We love you.
>> Billy: I take it that's
547
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,890
Connor. How's he doing?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, he sounded
548
00:30:58,957 --> 00:31:01,960
good, right?
>> Adam: Uh, he's a little
549
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:04,395
shaky, but I think he's on board
with the school's plan.
550
00:31:04,462 --> 00:31:06,431
>> Chelsea: Yeah, well, he
sounded a lot better than the
551
00:31:06,497 --> 00:31:09,267
first time I spoke to him, so...
>> Billy: Great.
552
00:31:09,334 --> 00:31:12,036
Glad to hear that.
>> Adam: I think he's relieved
553
00:31:12,103 --> 00:31:15,306
that there's a solution.
He seemed to relax a little bit
554
00:31:15,373 --> 00:31:17,508
when he realized that other
kids deal with similar issues.
555
00:31:17,575 --> 00:31:19,677
>> Chelsea: Yeah, and we're
going to set up a schedule for
556
00:31:19,744 --> 00:31:22,614
video calls so we can check in
on him every once in a while.
557
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,183
>> Adam: Low-key.
Not to make it seem like there's
558
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,518
anything wrong.
>> Chelsea: Yes. Just to show
559
00:31:27,585 --> 00:31:30,722
support and tell him how excited
we are for our next visit.
560
00:31:30,788 --> 00:31:34,025
>> Billy: Well, that's great.
Sounds like a very solid plan.
561
00:31:34,092 --> 00:31:35,960
I have to say, it's really nice
to see you both
562
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:39,330
in a cooperative space.
>> Adam: In other words,
563
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:43,701
you think I would revert to form
and run up there and blow up?
564
00:31:43,768 --> 00:31:46,571
>> Billy: In one word, yeah.
>> Adam: Well, luckily, Chelsea
565
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:49,974
helped me see that
that was not the way to go.
566
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:52,043
>> Chelsea: Actually, I'm the
one that went off on Adam
567
00:31:52,110 --> 00:31:54,779
this time.
>> Adam: Well, in a good way,
568
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:59,017
for good reason.
I assume you know how lucky you
569
00:31:59,083 --> 00:32:07,458
are to have her in your life.
570
00:32:07,525 --> 00:32:13,531
>> Billy: I do indeed.
571
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:16,334
>> Nate: Do you agree with Billy
about Tucker still being
572
00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:19,737
a threat to the company?
I've been focused on your
573
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:22,040
personal relationship
with Tucker.
574
00:32:22,106 --> 00:32:26,044
Wasn't thinking in terms of him
coming after Chancellor-Winters.
575
00:32:26,110 --> 00:32:31,349
>> Devon: Well, business and...
personal, family,
576
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:34,218
are one and the same
for Tucker, so...
577
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:37,855
>> Nate: So, you are worried?
>> Devon: I mean, I try not to
578
00:32:37,922 --> 00:32:39,924
worry about things
I can't control, but I'm not
579
00:32:39,991 --> 00:32:43,061
going to let my guard down.
The plan is to keep him out of
580
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,496
every part of my life,
which he's aware of,
581
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:49,767
but he's also aware that I'm
keeping my eyes out for
582
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:52,570
any moves that he makes.
>> Nate: I don't know.
583
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,472
I don't see Tucker
as an imminent threat
584
00:32:54,539 --> 00:32:58,109
to Chancellor-Winters.
He just fired
585
00:32:58,176 --> 00:33:01,546
the board at Glissade,
hired a new group of loyalists.
586
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:03,748
There's still a lot of
damage control to do before
587
00:33:03,815 --> 00:33:06,017
he thinks of looking elsewhere.
>> Devon: Yeah, but his whole
588
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:08,886
life is damage control,
which he thrives on.
589
00:33:08,953 --> 00:33:14,125
So, I think we all just need to
stay on alert.
590
00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:18,663
>> Nate: Well, you know, if--
if Tucker is making a move,
591
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:21,466
there could be an advantage
to having Audra as a friend.
592
00:33:21,532 --> 00:33:28,539
>> Audra: Ah. Now that
593
00:33:28,606 --> 00:33:31,309
we've enjoyed our
pleasant lunch, how about you
594
00:33:31,376 --> 00:33:37,715
tell me what your plans are
for next steps at Glissade?
595
00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:40,151
>> Tucker: Patience is not your
best attribute, is it?
596
00:33:40,218 --> 00:33:44,655
>> Audra: Nor yours.
Why can't you just
597
00:33:44,722 --> 00:33:48,593
tell me, okay?
Why are you stalling?
598
00:33:48,659 --> 00:33:51,062
>> Tucker: Didn't we say that
keeping each other guessing
599
00:33:51,129 --> 00:33:54,932
is more exciting?
>> Audra: Sure. About
600
00:33:54,999 --> 00:34:00,104
the long game.
But we're talking short term.
601
00:34:00,171 --> 00:34:03,141
You can't keep me
in the dark, Tucker.
602
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:08,513
I need to know if I made
a mistake opening up to you.
603
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:14,318
>> Tucker: You didn't.
I promise.
604
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:29,267
Wow.
605
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:30,435
Wow.
606
00:34:30,501 --> 00:34:32,203
>> Ashley: I'm going to stay.
I need to talk this out
607
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:35,640
with someone.
[ Traci sighs ]
608
00:34:35,706 --> 00:34:38,609
>> Traci: Okay, if that's what
you want, and that's what you
609
00:34:38,676 --> 00:34:40,678
need, then that is
what we will do.
610
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:43,581
I will stay here with you,
and I will listen.
611
00:34:43,648 --> 00:34:46,617
>> Ashley: I want you to go.
I need you to go.
612
00:34:46,684 --> 00:34:49,821
Please, alone.
I'm going to stay here and talk
613
00:34:49,887 --> 00:34:53,524
this out with a friend of mine
that's in Paris.
614
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:55,493
I need peace of mind right now,
more than anything.
615
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,229
I need peace of mind.
