You know, the way I see it... 369 00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:03,241 you and I are going through a similar process. 370 00:24:03,308 --> 00:24:06,111 Just trying to figure out who we are and what kind of 371 00:24:06,178 --> 00:24:09,447 people we want to be. And what we should value, 372 00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:15,086 you know, and what we can-- we can let fall away. 373 00:24:15,153 --> 00:24:18,356 And until I have those answers, there's nothing that I would 374 00:24:18,423 --> 00:24:28,300 rather be focused on than you. >> Victor: Hi. 375 00:24:28,366 --> 00:24:31,136 Am I interrupting? >> Claire: Mr. Newman, no. 376 00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:34,406 Hi, come in. >> Victoria: Hi, Dad. 377 00:24:34,472 --> 00:24:36,975 I didn't expect to see you here. 378 00:24:37,042 --> 00:24:42,647 >> Victor: I just would like a few moments alone with Claire. 379 00:24:42,714 --> 00:24:46,284 >> Victoria: Um, why is that? >> Victor: I just would like 380 00:24:46,351 --> 00:24:48,720 to ask her some questions about Jordan. 381 00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:52,591 >> Victoria: Oh, um, you know, I'm not sure if that's really 382 00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:54,793 such a good idea, Dad. >> Victor: Why not? 383 00:24:54,860 --> 00:24:57,062 >> Victoria: Well, we were just talking about how we want 384 00:24:57,128 --> 00:24:59,397 to put that woman out of our heads for good. 385 00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:01,666 >> Claire: It's okay. I have a feeling I know 386 00:25:01,733 --> 00:25:06,771 why you're here. Jordan's escaped, hasn't she? 387 00:25:06,838 --> 00:25:11,309 >> Victor: Um, Claire, I was just hoping 388 00:25:11,376 --> 00:25:15,447 if you could help us with some clues about 389 00:25:15,513 --> 00:25:19,384 Jordan's behavior so we can catch her again, you know? 390 00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:31,162 >> Claire: I have no idea what Jordan might do 391 00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:34,399 or where she might go. >> Victor: You know that 392 00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:38,603 this morning my team got info from the prison. 393 00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:41,306 Apparently the fire was arson. 394 00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:44,209 >> Claire: Then Jordan set it. I guarantee you. 395 00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,345 She probably figured she'd be presumed dead. 396 00:25:47,412 --> 00:25:50,882 >> Victor: Well, in that case, she's sorely mistaken. 397 00:25:50,949 --> 00:25:55,020 Because the bodies were identified through means of DNA. 398 00:25:55,086 --> 00:25:59,391 She wasn't one of the victims. She survived. 399 00:25:59,457 --> 00:26:01,459 So she's a hunted woman again. >> Victoria: Okay, 400 00:26:01,526 --> 00:26:03,862 but listen to me. There's a security team in place 401 00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:06,364 to keep Jordan away from you. So just please don't give her 402 00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:08,500 another thought. >> Claire: I think it's sweet 403 00:26:08,566 --> 00:26:11,736 that you're trying to protect me, but 404 00:26:11,803 --> 00:26:15,440 I can handle this conversation. I'm not afraid of Jordan, 405 00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:19,311 like I told you and Cole. And I have no desire 406 00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:22,314 to protect her. >> Victor: That's good to know. 407 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,450 >> Claire: And she knows that. She called me a few days ago 408 00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:27,886 and I shut her down immediately. 409 00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:30,055 >> Victoria: She called you? Here? 410 00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:32,757 >> Victor: How was that phone call allowed to go through? 411 00:26:32,824 --> 00:26:35,894 >> Claire: I presume she smuggled in a cell phone 412 00:26:35,961 --> 00:26:38,997 so that the prison name and telephone number wouldn't 413 00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:42,467 show up on the caller ID. And then she lied to the nurse 414 00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:45,270 who brought me the phone saying that she was you. 415 00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:47,772 >> Victoria: Of course she did. >> Victor: Why is this the first 416 00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,608 time we're hearing about this? >> Claire: I probably should 417 00:26:50,675 --> 00:26:52,677 have told you about it sooner. I wasn't trying to withhold 418 00:26:52,744 --> 00:26:56,081 information. I just... 419 00:26:56,147 --> 00:27:00,885 I put it out of my mind. >> Victoria: What do you mean? 420 00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,955 >> Claire: Well, I told Jordan that she could never 421 00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:07,192 manipulate me ever again, that I never wanted her 422 00:27:07,258 --> 00:27:12,097 to contact me again, and that I wished she was dead. 423 00:27:12,163 --> 00:27:14,399 I was furious. She had tricked me. 424 00:27:14,466 --> 00:27:17,268 And back in Oregon, I had told her that I never 425 00:27:17,335 --> 00:27:19,571 wanted to hear from her again, but she found a way 426 00:27:19,637 --> 00:27:24,376 to go against my wishes. So I hung up on her. 427 00:27:24,442 --> 00:27:27,645 And then when I spoke to my therapist about it, 428 00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:30,815 I just-- I just shut it out of my mind. 429 00:27:30,882 --> 00:27:34,152 And I understand how all of this must sound, 430 00:27:34,219 --> 00:27:37,522 but that's why I didn't tell you about it sooner. 431 00:27:37,589 --> 00:27:40,091 >> Victoria: That's okay. We understand. 432 00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:42,660 Don't we, Dad? >> Victor: Yes. 433 00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:45,296 >> Claire: And, Mr. Newman, I promise you, 434 00:27:45,363 --> 00:27:47,866 if anything else comes to mind, I will tell you right away. 435 00:27:47,932 --> 00:27:51,436 I want to help protect the family. 436 00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:55,974 Especially Nikki. I think about her all the time, 437 00:27:56,041 --> 00:28:00,011 and I worry about her and how she's doing. 438 00:28:00,078 --> 00:28:05,050 >> Victor: You know, Claire, you know that 439 00:28:05,116 --> 00:28:09,621 you're part of the family now. So why don't you 440 00:28:09,687 --> 00:28:13,525 call me Victor? >> Victoria: That is so 441 00:28:13,591 --> 00:28:15,727 sweet of you, Dad. Thank you. 442 00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:19,931 >> Claire: I just wish there was more I could do to help. 443 00:28:19,998 --> 00:28:23,101 >> Victor: In fact, there is something that you can do. 444 00:28:23,168 --> 00:28:26,004 >> Claire: Say the word. >> Victor: I have a feeling 445 00:28:26,071 --> 00:28:29,808 that Jordan will call you again. >> Claire: Even after how mean 446 00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:32,077 I was? >> Victor: I bet you 447 00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:36,414 she can't help herself. But if she does, will you kindly 448 00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:38,716 give her a message? >> Victoria: No, no, no, Dad. 449 00:28:38,783 --> 00:28:41,019 This is a really bad idea. >> Victor: Yes, yes, yes. 450 00:28:41,086 --> 00:28:44,389 >> Claire: What do you want me to say? 451 00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:48,560 >> Victor: Kindly tell her that I'm willing to make amends 452 00:28:48,626 --> 00:28:51,362 for all the hurt that I've caused her sister Eve. 453 00:28:57,802 --> 00:29:00,572 >> Adam: Look, we're keeping things strictly professional, 454 00:29:00,638 --> 00:29:02,574 right? I mean, other than 455 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,112 what I'm freaking out about Connor, and I need your advice. 456 00:29:07,178 --> 00:29:10,715 >> Nick: So this concerns Sally's business? 457 00:29:10,782 --> 00:29:15,086 >> Adam: You funded her venture, and... 458 00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:19,023 she has too much pride to admit that things aren't going well. 459 00:29:19,090 --> 00:29:22,127 > Nick: In what sense? >> Adam: Well, in the beginning, 460 00:29:22,193 --> 00:29:24,762 there was a flurry of activity and design gigs. 461 00:29:24,829 --> 00:29:26,965 But since those projects have wrapped up, 462 00:29:27,031 --> 00:29:30,368 it's been pretty slow. >> Nick: That's the way a lot of 463 00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,337 new companies are, Adam. They spike out of the gate, 464 00:29:32,403 --> 00:29:35,106 and eventually things level off. >> Adam: Nick, 465 00:29:35,173 --> 00:29:37,442 I've seen the projections. She's going to need a lot of 466 00:29:37,509 --> 00:29:40,612 cash to keep things afloat. >> Nick: If Sally needs 467 00:29:40,678 --> 00:29:44,349 more capital, all she has to do is come and ask me herself. 468 00:29:44,415 --> 00:29:49,888 >> Adam: Except she won't. Besides, my idea isn't about 469 00:29:49,954 --> 00:29:54,092 funneling more cash her way. It's bigger than that. 470 00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:57,529 >> Nick: I'm listening. >> Adam: At one point, 471 00:29:57,595 --> 00:30:01,199 Dad offered to create a design division under Newman 472 00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,601 for Sally to run, and then he pulled 473 00:30:03,668 --> 00:30:09,974 the rug out from under her. >> Nick: Yeah, that was, uh, 474 00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:14,512 unfortunate. >> Adam: No, no, it was rotten. 475 00:30:14,579 --> 00:30:17,081 She walked away from a contract with Chancellor Winters to take 476 00:30:17,148 --> 00:30:20,451 the opportunity here at Newman, and then he reneged. 477 00:30:20,518 --> 00:30:24,522 It was totally unfair. I'm going to ask him 478 00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:26,925 to revisit that and actually follow through this time. 479 00:30:26,991 --> 00:30:30,728 And she and Chloe can fold in under the Newman umbrella. 480 00:30:30,795 --> 00:30:33,264 >> Sally: Forget it, Chloe. I'm not going back to Nick 481 00:30:33,331 --> 00:30:36,267 for more money. >> Chloe: Okay, fine. 482 00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:38,269 >> Sally: I'm surprised that you would even bring it up, 483 00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:41,439 honestly. I mean, it's just wrong on so many levels. 484 00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:45,143 >> Chloe: Okay, but you and your idiotic return 485 00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:47,579 back to Adam. That wasn't wrong. 486 00:30:47,645 --> 00:30:51,149 Okay. [ laughs ] You know what? 487 00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:53,952 I don't want to argue with you about that again. 488 00:30:54,018 --> 00:30:56,921 So, um, you know, I'm just not even going to go there. 489 00:30:56,988 --> 00:30:58,990 >> Sally: Good. Because things with Adam 490 00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:01,159 are actually going pretty well. So maybe you could just be 491 00:31:01,226 --> 00:31:06,164 happy for me as my friend. >> Chloe: Yay. 492 00:31:06,231 --> 00:31:11,102 But there is one more option to bolster the company 493 00:31:11,169 --> 00:31:15,106 we haven't discussed. >> Sally: Which is... 494 00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:16,975 >> Chloe: Taking on a new partner. 495 00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:28,620 >> Sally: A new partner? >> Chloe: Someone established 496 00:31:28,686 --> 00:31:31,055 with a wider reach and deep pockets. 497 00:31:31,122 --> 00:31:33,791 That might be exactly what we need to get over this hump. 498 00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:35,727 >> Sally: But we would lose control. 499 00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:39,130 >> Chloe: Okay. Losing some control versus 500 00:31:39,197 --> 00:31:42,066 losing the whole company? Is that so bad? 501 00:31:42,133 --> 00:31:44,769 >> Sally: It's just-- it's just not what I envisioned. 502 00:31:44,836 --> 00:31:48,873 Put it that way. >> Chloe: Look, I don't know 503 00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:52,076 what the answer is, but I do know I don't want 504 00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:54,646 to give up on this. >> Sally: Well, me either. 505 00:31:54,712 --> 00:31:59,717 So let's just try harder. >> Chloe: How? 506 00:31:59,784 --> 00:32:01,686 >> Sally: I don't know. We can go to some design 507 00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:03,755 publications and ask them for press. 508 00:32:03,821 --> 00:32:08,860 We could throw a party. We could design a room 509 00:32:08,926 --> 00:32:11,629 for Charity House. Offer a coupon. 510 00:32:11,696 --> 00:32:13,231 >> Chloe: What? >> Sally: Okay, no. 511 00:32:13,298 --> 00:32:15,466 Not that last one.

I'm not going to allow it. 531 00:33:23,868 --> 00:33:26,371 The last thing she needs is more exposure to Jordan. 532 00:33:26,437 --> 00:33:28,373 >> Victor: Sweetheart, listen to me. 533 00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:31,409 Your mother is on a binge right now. 534 00:33:31,476 --> 00:33:35,279 She's drinking herself into oblivion, all right? 535 00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:39,150 Why? Because that Jordan woman is torturing her 536 00:33:39,217 --> 00:33:42,587 and will continue to do so. She is our only conduit here, 537 00:33:42,653 --> 00:33:44,889 all right? >> Victoria: My daughter 538 00:33:44,956 --> 00:33:47,191 is a victim, too. Something you seem to keep 539 00:33:47,258 --> 00:33:49,794 forgetting. >> Victor: I'm merely asking her 540 00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:52,597 to pass along a message. That's all. 541 00:33:52,663 --> 00:33:55,767 >> Victoria: Dad, even talking to Jordan again could cause 542 00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:57,802 a setback for her. >> Victor: Sweetheart, 543 00:33:57,869 --> 00:34:01,706 I'm concerned about your mother, not her. Do you understand? 544 00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:12,784 End of discussion. >> Claire: You're upset with me. 545 00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:14,619 >> Victoria: No. >> Claire: And with Victor. 546 00:34:14,685 --> 00:34:19,590 >> Victoria: I just, I wish he hadn't put you in the middle. 547 00:34:19,657 --> 00:34:22,460 >> Claire: I'm okay with it. Really, I swear. 548 00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:26,731 I doubt Jordan's going to call again, but anything's possible. 549 00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:30,201 >> Victoria: This is a terrible idea. 550 00:34:30,268 --> 00:34:33,037 >> Claire: Actually, I think it makes sense. 551 00:34:33,104 --> 00:34:36,574 I-- I think he's setting a trap. It's a reverse of what Jordan 552 00:34:36,641 --> 00:34:39,377 did to Nikki. Victor doesn't actually 553 00:34:39,444 --> 00:34:42,480 want to make amends. He's just setting himself up 554 00:34:42,547 --> 00:34:45,016 as bait. And if there's anything I can do 555 00:34:45,082 --> 00:34:47,585 to help him catch her and put her away again, 556 00:34:47,652 --> 00:34:53,057 then I am more than happy to talk to her one last time. 557 00:34:53,124 --> 00:34:57,128 If it means putting an end to this horror show 558 00:34:57,195 --> 00:35:02,733 once and for all. >> Lauren: Okay, that gives me 559 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:08,105 a good idea of Audra's workload. Although I still have a lot to 560 00:35:08,172 --> 00:35:10,475 learn about the media business. >> Nikki: Oh, you'll 561 00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:14,245 pick it up fast. [ phone rings ] 562 00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,685 It's her. >> Lauren: Right, you have 563 00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:22,820 already said what you need to say to her. 564 00:35:22,887 --> 00:35:25,223 There is no reason to pick up that call. 565 00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:27,258 And there is no reason to put yourself through 566 00:35:27,325 --> 00:35:29,026 what she has planned for you. 567 00:35:59,223 --> 00:36:02,226 Join us again for "The Young and the Restless."
