I really let her have it. 208 00:12:27,613 --> 00:12:31,817 I told her that she couldn't beat us, and I challenged her 209 00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:35,054 to come after me here at the ranch, give me a reason 210 00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:39,191 to cross the line. >> Victor: Hm. 211 00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:41,861 >> Nikki: That woman is a psychopath. 212 00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:47,133 We have to stop her. >> Victor: Yeah. 213 00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:51,137 Certainly do.

I mean, it took a while, 236 00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:33,072 but eventually, all the hangovers 237 00:14:33,138 --> 00:14:39,278 and the broken relationships took their toll, and, um-- 238 00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:43,249 Yeah, it was hard. And so we both 239 00:14:43,315 --> 00:14:47,820 got sober together, and-- and it-- 240 00:14:47,886 --> 00:14:55,928 it changed our friendship.

But Nikki cut me off. 247 00:15:30,729 --> 00:15:34,333 She felt that I was dangerous for her sobriety. 248 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,503 >> Seth: Yeah.

It's not like we can 273 00:17:03,622 --> 00:17:05,391 go around, and just put "Abbott" on all the stationery. 274 00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:08,494 >> Billy: No, I agree, Devon. It's not trivial at all. 275 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,796 This is about adding a name to reflect Jill's role 276 00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,766 and legacy in building this company to the success 277 00:17:13,832 --> 00:17:15,667 that it is today. >> Devon: Okay, but you 278 00:17:15,734 --> 00:17:17,269 understand that this is going to cost the company 279 00:17:17,336 --> 00:17:20,205 money to do a rebrand like this. You have to redesign the logo. 280 00:17:20,272 --> 00:17:22,107 >> Billy: That's exactly why we have a marketing department, 281 00:17:22,174 --> 00:17:23,842 isn't it? And if you ask me, 282 00:17:23,909 --> 00:17:26,178 it's a small price to pay because the truth is, 283 00:17:26,245 --> 00:17:29,982 without Jill Abbott, none of us would be sitting here right now. 284 00:17:30,048 --> 00:17:32,651 >> Nate: Look, I totally get where you're coming from, Billy, 285 00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:36,288 and I'm sure Devon does as well. Everyone here recognizes Jill's 286 00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:39,224 importance to this company. >> Devon: Yeah, nobody's 287 00:17:39,291 --> 00:17:43,929 dismissing that at all. Um, how about this, though? 288 00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:46,098 How about we get Lily on the phone and we discuss it 289 00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:48,801 with her? >> Billy: That sounds great. 290 00:17:48,867 --> 00:17:50,569 Why don't you set a call, and I'd be happy 291 00:17:50,636 --> 00:17:52,304 to pitch it to her. >> Devon: That's not necessary. 292 00:17:52,371 --> 00:17:55,307 I have a grasp on what you're suggesting, I can do it. 293 00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:58,076 So we will talk it over with her and we will get 294 00:17:58,143 --> 00:18:03,182 back to you about it. >> Billy: Okay, then. 295 00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:06,018 Well, gents, thank you for your time, 296 00:18:06,084 --> 00:18:09,421 and I will, uh, let you two get back to it. 297 00:18:09,488 --> 00:18:20,666 >> Devon: Thanks. I'm all for protecting 298 00:18:20,732 --> 00:18:24,837 Jill's legacy, but I don't think that's Billy's motivation 299 00:18:24,903 --> 00:18:27,940 at all. But you were pretty quiet, what do you think 300 00:18:28,006 --> 00:18:29,675 about all this? 301 00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:39,318 >> Nate: After he brought up the order of names, I figured it was 302 00:18:39,384 --> 00:18:41,119 best to keep my mouth shut, because I didn't 303 00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:45,257 want to start an argument. But I am with you. 304 00:18:45,324 --> 00:18:47,459 >> Devon: Yeah, right, because, like, Abbott is just 305 00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:50,496 one of Jill's last names and it's his one and only. 306 00:18:50,562 --> 00:18:54,199 >> Nate: Yeah, his "no big deal, let's just change the company's 307 00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:57,836 name to include mine" approach? It feels a little coy. 308 00:18:57,903 --> 00:18:59,738 >> Devon: Yeah. If he would have just admitted that 309 00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,840 it's about him a little bit, it would have been less suspicious. 310 00:19:01,907 --> 00:19:03,809 >> Nate: Yeah, yeah, and you pushed him on that. 311 00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:06,578 >> Devon: I tried to, but he wouldn't budge an inch. 312 00:19:06,645 --> 00:19:08,814 >> Nate: Maybe he's testing the waters. 313 00:19:08,881 --> 00:19:11,049 Seeing how far he can get, trying to see how much sway 314 00:19:11,116 --> 00:19:13,819 he has with you. >> Devon: Well, he's got none 315 00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:16,388 in this case because I'm not going to approve it. 316 00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:18,423 The fact that Jill didn't come to me herself tells me 317 00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:22,861 everything I need to know. This is Billy's power play. 318 00:19:22,928 --> 00:19:24,963 >> Nate: You know, the other day I was trying to convince 319 00:19:25,030 --> 00:19:28,500 Aunt Mamie that her suspicion that Jill was out to get her 320 00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:31,136 was wrong, that she's just being paranoid. And I tried 321 00:19:31,203 --> 00:19:33,705 to get Billy to back me up. >> Devon: And what did he say? 322 00:19:33,772 --> 00:19:36,008 >> Nate: He turned it around on me. 323 00:19:36,074 --> 00:19:40,245 He said Aunt Mamie was the one to watch out for and warned 324 00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:44,650 her not to go after Jill. What's funny is, 325 00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:49,121 he said most of it with a smile, but he was dead serious. 326 00:19:49,187 --> 00:19:52,925 >> Devon: Well, we're going to need to keep an eye on him. 327 00:19:52,991 --> 00:19:54,593 >> Billy: Hi. >> Chelsea: Hi. 328 00:19:54,660 --> 00:19:57,529 >> Billy: Hi.

I mean, that's good, right? 334 00:20:13,278 --> 00:20:15,514 They're the experts and they're with him every day, so... 335 00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:18,083 >> Chelsea: Yeah, and-- and, um, we spoke to his psychiatrist 336 00:20:18,150 --> 00:20:20,586 and we like her. And, um, she said she's going to 337 00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:23,956 order more evaluations. The problem is, she said 338 00:20:24,022 --> 00:20:25,490 so many things could be wrong with him, 339 00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:28,060 you know? They-- they just have to figure out what it is. 340 00:20:28,126 --> 00:20:31,263 >> Billy: Okay. They give you a timeline? 341 00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:35,200 >> Chelsea: No, I wish. I mean, she just said that they'd-- 342 00:20:35,267 --> 00:20:38,270 they'd give us news when they can figure it out. 343 00:20:38,337 --> 00:20:44,042 >> Billy: Okay. So, we wait. 344 00:20:44,109 --> 00:20:45,777 >> Chelsea: I mean, I get nervous when 345 00:20:45,844 --> 00:20:47,346 he has a sore throat. >> Billy: I know. 346 00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:49,281 >> Chelsea: You know, I-- I at least can take him 347 00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:52,684 to the doctor and give him medicine, but this? 348 00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:54,453 Not knowing what this is, it's torture. 349 00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:57,222 >> Billy: Yeah, it's always the worst when our kids are hurting, 350 00:20:57,289 --> 00:20:58,890 but you're doing the right thing, okay? 351 00:20:58,957 --> 00:21:00,892 You gotta know that. And I know 352 00:21:00,959 --> 00:21:03,428 this is difficult, but you gotta let go of the anxiety. 353 00:21:03,495 --> 00:21:08,266 You know, spinning all those what-ifs, it's not gonna help. 354 00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:11,003 You gotta take care of yourself. Because you need to have 355 00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:13,872 the bandwidth to take care of Connor when, 356 00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:17,943 if, you and Adam decide it's time to step in. 357 00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:21,313 >> Chelsea: Yeah. I know you're right. 358 00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:24,549 It's just, um, impossible. >> Billy: Hmm. Well, good. 359 00:21:24,616 --> 00:21:26,284 Because that's why I'm here. I'm-- I'm here to make 360 00:21:26,351 --> 00:21:28,220 the impossible possible. >> Chelsea: Well, you always 361 00:21:28,286 --> 00:21:30,822 make it better. >> Billy: You'll be all right. 362 00:21:30,889 --> 00:21:33,792 >> Chelsea: Yeah.

I spoke with Claire 406 00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:41,553 after you left. >> Victor: What did she say? 407 00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:45,090 >> Victoria: It doesn't matter. >> Victor: Yes, it does. 408 00:23:45,157 --> 00:23:48,226 Because I know that Claire wants us to be free 409 00:23:48,293 --> 00:23:50,328 of that woman once and for all. >> Victoria: Because you made 410 00:23:50,395 --> 00:23:55,033 her feel like she owes us for her part in Jordan's scheme. 411 00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:56,568 >> Nikki: Victor, tell me that you didn't 412 00:23:56,635 --> 00:24:00,305 manipulate her in some way. >> Victor: No. I did not. 413 00:24:00,372 --> 00:24:02,641 I just know that she wants to be rid of that woman 414 00:24:02,707 --> 00:24:04,876 as much as we do. >> Victoria: But still, that 415 00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:07,579 doesn't mean that she should do it. 416 00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:10,615 Look, I understand your goal. All right? It's the same as 417 00:24:10,682 --> 00:24:14,152 mine. As-- as all of ours. Cole and I discussed it, 418 00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:16,822 and we very nearly convinced ourselves to let 419 00:24:16,888 --> 00:24:19,858 Claire go along with your plan. Because getting Jordan 420 00:24:19,925 --> 00:24:21,860 out of our lives would be good for all of us, 421 00:24:21,927 --> 00:24:25,997 but the more I thought about it, I-- I just-- I cannot 422 00:24:26,064 --> 00:24:28,567 let her do it. >> Victor: It's the only way. 423 00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:31,436 >> Victoria: It can't be.

I mean, putting her in this 427 00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:41,379 situation is just going to undo all of the work 428 00:24:41,446 --> 00:24:43,315 that she's done, all of the therapy, all of 429 00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:46,718 the progress that she's made.
