00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,708
>> Billy: Hey.
>> Devon: Hey.
2
00:00:08,775 --> 00:00:10,310
>> Billy: I was just coming
to look for you.
3
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:13,046
>> Devon: Why is that?
>> Billy: I've got to go
4
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:14,814
out of town for
a couple of days, so I'm
5
00:00:14,881 --> 00:00:16,950
going to be out of the office.
>> Devon: Is everything
6
00:00:17,016 --> 00:00:19,386
all right?
>> Billy: Yeah, um, I'm going
7
00:00:19,452 --> 00:00:21,755
with Chelsea to Minnesota.
She's going to
8
00:00:21,821 --> 00:00:25,225
check up on Connor.
>> Devon: Is he okay?
9
00:00:25,291 --> 00:00:28,661
>> Billy: I think he will be.
He's facing some new challenges.
10
00:00:28,728 --> 00:00:30,897
Chelsea needs to go out there
and see a specialist,
11
00:00:30,964 --> 00:00:34,334
and I'm going for moral support.
I assume that's not going to be
12
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:38,805
a problem for you?
>> Mariah: Well...
13
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:41,775
>> Abby: Hello! Thank you
for joining us for breakfast
14
00:00:41,841 --> 00:00:43,943
this morning.
>> Mariah: Abby, I have
15
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:46,413
a new appreciation
for what you do here.
16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,582
Tessa was completely crashed out
this morning when I left.
17
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:52,185
>> Abby: Ah, she was here super
late doing inventory, so I
18
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:54,721
told her I'd cover her shift
so she could get some sleep.
19
00:00:54,788 --> 00:00:57,157
You know, everyone here
is already obsessed with her.
20
00:00:57,223 --> 00:00:59,125
They love her.
>> Kyle: Of course they do.
21
00:00:59,192 --> 00:01:01,461
[ Abby laughs ]
>> Abby: Now, I think hiring her
22
00:01:01,528 --> 00:01:04,597
is my best idea yet.
>> Mariah: Wow, I will
23
00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:06,666
pass that along.
I'm sure she'll love hearing
24
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,302
that, uh, you get the credit
for all of her hard work.
25
00:01:09,369 --> 00:01:11,704
>> Abby: You know what? No need.
She's already aware of how
26
00:01:11,771 --> 00:01:14,874
pleased I am with my brilliant
idea to hire her and her
27
00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:18,077
outstanding job performance.
I've already showered her with
28
00:01:18,144 --> 00:01:20,447
plenty of well-deserved praise.
>> Kyle: Well, Tessa is a
29
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:23,883
multitalented woman.
Singer, spokesperson and model,
30
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:25,919
and now
restaurateur extraordinaire.
31
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:27,821
>> Abby: Yes.
>> Kyle: We're going to miss her
32
00:01:27,887 --> 00:01:29,622
at Jabot.
>> Mariah: Well, more
33
00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:31,925
predictable schedule here,
more time with Aria.
34
00:01:31,991 --> 00:01:33,893
>> Kyle: I absolutely understand
why she stepped away.
35
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,029
>> Abby: Well, she is a
lifesaver because it's
36
00:01:36,095 --> 00:01:38,431
given me a chance to focus
on Chancellor-Winters,
37
00:01:38,498 --> 00:01:40,900
which reminds me I need to go
check in with Devon,
38
00:01:40,967 --> 00:01:44,704
but please enjoy your breakfast.
>> Kyle: I'm sure we will.
39
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:47,607
>> Mariah: Wow. My wife
is a star here.
40
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:50,176
>> Kyle: Well, you're not
surprised, are you?
41
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:52,879
>> Mariah: Well, I'm just happy
that she gets the opportunity
42
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:56,483
to shine again.
I mean, she's been a little bit
43
00:01:56,549 --> 00:02:00,053
at loose ends lately.
And she's waiting for her voice
44
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:02,489
to be healed enough so she can
go back on the road again.
45
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:04,357
>> Kyle: Ah, the inevitable
downtime between her
46
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:07,026
duties at Marchetti,
it has to be frustrating.
47
00:02:07,093 --> 00:02:11,097
I'm sure working here will
provide her with good balance.
48
00:02:11,164 --> 00:02:14,601
Speaking of balance,
how are things with you?
49
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:18,638
>> Mariah: I'm great now
because Aria is great.
50
00:02:18,705 --> 00:02:21,374
It's crazy, when
Aria couldn't hear us, it was
51
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:23,510
all that we could think about.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
52
00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:27,380
>> Mariah: But now those days
are slowly fading into history,
53
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:31,217
you know? With the hearing aids.
Now we're focused on
54
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:35,321
playtime and learning
and milestones, and it's crazy.
55
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:38,558
You know, she's picking up words
now, and-and she's starting
56
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:42,729
to make sounds, it's--
I swoon over her. I'm obsessed.
57
00:02:42,795 --> 00:02:44,764
We're obsessed, obviously.
[ Mariah chuckles ]
58
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:48,568
>> Kyle: With good reason.
And your job?
59
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:51,237
>> Mariah: It's fantastic.
I mean, working with Sharon
60
00:02:51,304 --> 00:02:55,141
is great.
I am so impressed with the
61
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:57,777
company that we're building.
And it's so strong.
62
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:02,749
Like, right out the gate.
So, I have no complaints.
63
00:03:02,815 --> 00:03:05,251
>> Kyle: That's great, Mariah.
You know, you deserve
64
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:07,153
every bit of it.
I'm really,
65
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:13,927
really happy for you.
>> Mariah: Okay, so, now you.
66
00:03:13,993 --> 00:03:18,798
How are you?
I'm sensing maybe not so well.
67
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:23,336
Am I right?
>> Kyle: Things are
68
00:03:23,403 --> 00:03:26,906
great for you while you work
with your mom.
69
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:30,209

I'm here to tell you
that I'm not going to fight you

about it.
And I-- I understand your logic.

I know that Claire is
determined to make amends and

she wants to prove that she's
part of this family by doing

everything that she can
to protect us all from Jordan.

conditions, Dad.
>> Victor: I bet you do.

But I'm glad that you...
changed your mind...
92

about my plan, and I'm very glad
that your mother was able to
93
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:54,921
convince you
to see it my way.
94
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:57,857
>> Victoria: What?
You sent Mom to try to
95
00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:00,760
pressure me into agreeing
to this idea of yours?
96
00:06:00,827 --> 00:06:02,829
>> Victor: Of course I did.
97
00:06:13,339 --> 00:06:14,507
>> Victoria: Well, I haven't
98
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:17,510
spoken with Mom since yesterday.
It was Claire who changed my
99
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:20,546
mind. She basically
pleaded with Cole and me
100
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:22,482
to trust her instincts,
and she's right.
101
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:24,016
She's right, Dad.
She knows her aunt
102
00:06:24,083 --> 00:06:28,421
more than anyone.
>> Victor: Good. Whatever
103
00:06:28,488 --> 00:06:31,958
the motivation, I'm happy
that you're beginning to see

00:06:32,024 --> 00:06:34,093
the benefits of my plan.

mean that I'm happy about
any of it, Dad.
106
00:06:37,363 --> 00:06:39,966
And on top of that, I mean,
I don't know how you could
107
00:06:40,032 --> 00:06:43,169
willingly put Mom
in such a difficult position.
108
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:44,937
You're basically asking her
to fight your battles for you.
109
00:06:45,004 --> 00:06:48,341
>> Victor: What do you mean a
difficult position? I asked her
110
00:06:48,407 --> 00:06:51,210
to make you see reason.
Now, it happens that
111
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:54,180
Claire did so. Wonderful.
Why do you see a flaw in
112
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:57,617
everything I do?
>> Victoria: Well, they're right
113
00:06:57,683 --> 00:07:00,553
in plain sight.
>> Victor: All I'm trying to do
114

is keep our family safe.
Your family safe.

And what do you do?
You question it.
116
00:07:07,426 --> 00:07:12,131
Every move I make, you question.
What's the real reason?
117
00:07:12,198 --> 00:07:16,002
What's beneath all this?
>> Devon: Yeah, no, absolutely.
118
00:07:16,068 --> 00:07:18,838
It's not a problem at all.
It sounds like whatever Connor's
119
00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:22,275
going through isn't easy.
>> Billy: No, it's not.
120
00:07:22,341 --> 00:07:25,978
Not for him or his mother.
>> Devon: Yeah, I can imagine.
121
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:28,848
Well, go be there for them, and
don't worry about anything here.
122
00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:32,752
I'm sure we can
keep things going without you.
123
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:36,289
>> Billy: Okay. Well, I'll have
my computer on me so I can
124
00:07:36,355 --> 00:07:38,691
work from the road
if anything comes up.
125
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:43,830
Sure you'll let me know.
>> Devon: Yeah, of course.
126
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:46,899
>> Billy: Actually, there's one
provision I would like to make
127
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:54,307
while I'm away.
>> Mariah: So, that was
128
00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:58,578
a bombshell.
You still want Diane's position.
129
00:07:58,644 --> 00:08:01,214
>> Kyle: Yeah, I shouldn't have
said that.
130
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,517
>> Mariah: Well, is it how you
really feel?
131
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:06,319
Remember, this is me
you're talking to.
132
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:10,990
You can tell me the truth.
>> Kyle: I don't really wanna
133
00:08:11,057 --> 00:08:15,528
steal my mom's position.
>> Mariah: But?
134
00:08:15,595 --> 00:08:19,065
>> Kyle: But things aren't
great right now.
135
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:21,634
Not bad, just not--
>> Mariah: You're not at
136
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:23,369
your peak happiness.
>> Kyle: Yes, I've been trying
137
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:26,572
so hard to be the good son,
the dedicated worker,
138
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,274
team player,
because not that long ago
139
00:08:28,341 --> 00:08:31,344
I was none of those things.
You know, I wanted the co-CEO
140
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:33,446
role so badly that
I let a chip grow on my shoulder
141
00:08:33,512 --> 00:08:36,716
when my dad asked me
to walk away from marketing.
142
00:08:36,782 --> 00:08:40,653
Then he passed me up.
Gave the job to Billy.
143
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,155
>> Mariah: Yeah, that had to be
a smack to your ego for sure.
144
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:44,891
>> Kyle: Which is why I
acted out.
145
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:47,126
And then I took a good hard look
at myself and realized
146
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:49,695
what an ass I was being.
I mean, maybe that's why I made
147
00:08:49,762 --> 00:08:54,600
the choice to stop fighting.
Compensate for my bad behavior.
148
00:08:54,667 --> 00:08:58,671
Maybe even overcompensate.
>> Mariah: Well, in what way?
149
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:00,606
>> Kyle: Well, when Billy
left Chancellor-Winters,
150
00:09:00,673 --> 00:09:06,312
I suggested...
insisted that my mom
151
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:10,316
assume the role I wanted.
You know, ever since then,
152
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:11,951
I've been second guessing
my decision.
153
00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:14,420
Like I showed too much humility,
and once again,
154
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:17,089
I missed out on the opportunity
that I know in my heart
155
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:18,157
I deserved.
156
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:25,298
>> Mariah: So are you saying
157
00:09:25,364 --> 00:09:29,936
you resent the fact that
Diane is co-CEO now?
158
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:32,305
>> Kyle: "Resent" is a
little strong.
159
00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:35,174
She is my mother, and this
is an amazing chance for her.
160
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,742
Of course I want to
see her shine.
161
00:09:36,809 --> 00:09:39,378
And it's not like I've been
pushed off into a corner.
162
00:09:39,445 --> 00:09:41,580
I am still the third part
of the triad of leadership
163
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:44,884
at Jabot.
>> Mariah: Yeah, I hear you.
164
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:48,754
Working with your parents
can be incredibly fulfilling.
165
00:09:48,821 --> 00:09:50,723
You know, there's a love
and trust there
166
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:53,292
that you're not going to get
in other businesses.
167
00:09:53,359 --> 00:09:55,294
>> Kyle: No, I agree.
I mean, working as a
168
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:58,397
family unit,
what more could you ask for?
169
00:09:58,464 --> 00:10:04,403
>> Mariah: Like I said, I love
working with my mother.
170
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:08,674
But it's not enough for you,
is it?
171
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:12,345
>> Kyle: No. No, it's not.
And the regret is
172
00:10:12,411 --> 00:10:16,649
driving me crazy.
>> Devon: So what kind of
173
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:18,918
provision do you want
for a short trip?
174
00:10:18,985 --> 00:10:21,387
>> Billy: I'd appreciate it
if you kept Chance in the loop.
175
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,889
You know, bring him up to speed.
Make him aware of any big
176
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:27,593
decisions that might go down.
>> Devon: Okay. And why is
177
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,562
that necessary if
you're going to be available?
178
00:10:29,628 --> 00:10:32,531
Because we can just contact you
if there's an issue, right?
179
00:10:32,598 --> 00:10:35,234
>> Billy: Yeah. But I think
it's an opportunity for Chance,
180
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:39,205
you know, while I step away.
Is that a problem?
181
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:42,641
>> Devon: I mean, he just got
here, so I don't really think
182
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:44,577
he's the appropriate
stand-in for you.
183
00:10:44,643 --> 00:10:46,312
But if that's what you want
while you're gone,
184
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:50,716
then that's your business.
>> Billy: Good. Thank you.
185
00:10:50,783 --> 00:10:54,420
>> Devon: Yeah.
Have a safe trip.
186
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:55,755
>> Abby: Hi.
>> Devon: Hey.
187
00:10:55,821 --> 00:10:57,757
>> Abby: Hi.
>> Devon: How you doing?
188
00:10:57,823 --> 00:10:59,492
>> Billy: Hi, Abby.
Sorry, I got to run.
189
00:10:59,558 --> 00:11:02,628
But nice to see you.
>> Abby: You too.
190
00:11:02,695 --> 00:11:04,663
>> Devon: Hey, tell Chelsea
that I hope that everything
191
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:09,268
works out for the best.
>> Billy: Thanks for that.
192
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:15,408
>> Abby: Well, I guess I
don't need to ask
193
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:17,977
if the tension between
you and Billy is easing up.
194
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:21,047
Because the answer
is obviously no.
195
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:25,351
>> Victoria: Why would you
say that?
196
00:11:25,418 --> 00:11:26,919
That there's something else
going on?
197
00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:29,989
There's nothing else going on.
I'm concerned about my daughter.
198
00:11:30,056 --> 00:11:33,726
She's emotionally fragile
right now.
199
00:11:33,793 --> 00:11:36,162
And Mom, Mom is vulnerable.
Dad, we cannot afford
200
00:11:36,228 --> 00:11:37,730
to get this wrong.
Not even a little bit.
201
00:11:37,797 --> 00:11:39,265
>> Victor: Let me ask
you something.
202
00:11:39,331 --> 00:11:43,135
You don't think I know this?
I know all of this.
203
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:48,074
Something else is going on.
Does this have to do
204
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:51,544
with Newman?
[ Victoria sighs ]
205
00:11:51,610 --> 00:11:53,546
>> Victoria: No.
Work is the last thing
206
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:55,681
that I'm thinking about.
>> Victor: Are you upset that I
207
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:59,919
promoted both your brothers,
Nicholas and Adam,
208
00:11:59,985 --> 00:12:02,822
to take over your position?
If you're upset about that,
209
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:04,590
that's absurd.
Because you walked away
210
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:07,093
from here, didn't you?
>> Victoria: You know why I made
211
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:10,329
that choice.
My daughter needed me.
212
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:13,165
That is the only reason
that I took that break.
213
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:17,036
>> Victor: And I understand
that, but what else is going on?
214
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:20,473
>> Victoria: If you think
I'm harboring some private
215
00:12:20,539 --> 00:12:24,143
resentment for the decisions
that you've made at Newman,
216
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:26,445
I'm not.
I actually agree with you
217
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:28,848
on some of them.
My only concern is for
218
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,816
my daughter, for Claire,
for her well-being
219
00:12:30,883 --> 00:12:33,586
and for her safety.
And for Mom.
220
00:12:33,652 --> 00:12:36,021
If I'm frustrated with you,
it has nothing to do
221
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:37,990
with the company.
>> Victor: So there should be
222
00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:41,393
no more frustration?
On your part, now that you are
223
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:45,564
on board with my plan.
And your mother was spared
224
00:12:45,631 --> 00:12:50,736
the task of luring that witch
into a trap.
225
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:54,173
So?
Nothing for us to
226
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,242
argue about, is there?
227
00:13:03,415 --> 00:13:06,852
>> Victor: Sweetheart, I--
228
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,755
I don't want to fight
about this, okay?
229
00:13:09,822 --> 00:13:12,858
>> Victoria: Neither do I.
>> Victor: You know that we need
230
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:16,262
to present a united front
for this plan to work.
231
00:13:16,328 --> 00:13:18,631
>> Michael: Ah, Victor,
Victoria!
232
00:13:18,697 --> 00:13:21,167
Sorry to interrupt,
but the judge has made
233
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:24,370
a ruling, and I knew you'd
want to know right away.
234
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:27,573
>> Victor: What?
What did he rule?
235
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,809
>> Michael: Well, provided
a series of therapeutic
236
00:13:30,876 --> 00:13:34,547
and safety contingencies
are met, the judge has agreed
237
00:13:34,613 --> 00:13:38,350
to remand Claire to--
hold for applause--
238
00:13:38,417 --> 00:13:41,754
Victoria and Cole's custody.
[ Victoria gasps ]
239
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:43,389
>> Victoria: They're letting her
come home?
240
00:13:43,455 --> 00:13:46,892
>> Michael: Mm-hmm.
>> Victoria: Oh, my God.
241
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:48,994
What if it's too much
for her though, Daddy?
242
00:13:49,061 --> 00:13:52,131
What if it's-- it's just
so overwhelming and...
243
00:13:52,198 --> 00:13:54,667
Jordan is out there.
You have to protect her.
244
00:13:54,733 --> 00:13:56,535
You promised that you're going
to keep her protected, right?
245
00:13:56,602 --> 00:13:58,304
>> Victor: Sweetheart, I've told
you that many times.
246
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:02,575
Of course I will protect her.
>> Michael: Uh, so you are
247
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:05,744
on board?
>>Victoria: Yes,
248
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:09,882
but not without some misgivings.
Does Claire know about
249
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:12,952
the judge's decision?
>> Michael: Uh, I assumed that
250
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:16,188
you and Cole would want
to give her the news yourselves?
251
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:19,291
>> Victoria: Yes, yes, we would.
Thank you.
252
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:22,861
And as I told my father,
I will go along with this plan,
253
00:14:22,928 --> 00:14:26,031
but there are some conditions.
>> Victor: What conditions?
254
00:14:26,098 --> 00:14:27,800
>> Victoria: No matter what,
Daddy, you have
255
00:14:27,866 --> 00:14:30,402
to keep her safe.
All right, and-- and--
256
00:14:30,469 --> 00:14:32,137
no surprises.
No--
257
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:34,473
we stick to the original plan.
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
258
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:37,943
do I have to repeat?
She's my granddaughter.
259
00:14:38,010 --> 00:14:42,748
I will damn well protect her.
>> Victoria: Fine.
260
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:46,785
And I want her staying
with me, at my home.
261
00:14:46,852 --> 00:14:51,624
>> Victor: No, no, no, no, no.
That I do not want.
262
00:14:51,690 --> 00:14:54,393
I want you and Claire
to stay at the ranch.
263
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:56,328
Because that's when
I can provide security.
264
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:58,697
>> Victoria: No, Daddy, look,
the ranch, it's lovely,
265
00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:00,899
but I'm just afraid
it'll be too much for her.
266
00:15:00,966 --> 00:15:02,434
>> Victor: Listen...
>> Victoria: I want her
267
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:03,969
at my place.
>> Victor: Listen to me
268
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:06,538
carefully.
I cannot provide the same
269
00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:09,241
security at your place.
When you and she come
270
00:15:09,308 --> 00:15:12,478
to the ranch,
she'll be secure, okay?
271
00:15:12,544 --> 00:15:15,481
You'll both be safe.
I promise you.
272
00:15:15,547 --> 00:15:20,019
[ Victoria sighs ]
>> Victoria: Okay, okay, fine.
273
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:24,290
But it's only temporary
until Jordan is back in custody.
274
00:15:34,533 --> 00:15:37,836
>> Jordan: Damn you, Seth.
Where are you?
275
00:15:37,903 --> 00:15:40,306
Why haven't you gotten
back to me?
276
00:15:54,219 --> 00:15:56,755
>> Devon: So Billy's going away
on a short business trip,
277
00:15:56,822 --> 00:16:00,793
and he has provisions for me.
He wants me to bring Chance in
278
00:16:00,859 --> 00:16:04,363
on everything while he's gone.
Even though Chance is brand new
279
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:08,334
and can't make decisions.
So, why would he do that?
280
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,036
>> Abby: But you have an idea.
>> Devon: I do, yeah.
281
00:16:11,103 --> 00:16:13,472
I think that he wants to
have a fly on the wall here.
282
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:16,141
So that nothing happens without
him knowing about it.
283
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:19,778
Or he's just flexing his power.
>> Abby: Wait, do you know
284
00:16:19,845 --> 00:16:22,314
when Lily's coming back?
>> Devon: I don't.
285
00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:24,583
That's a great question.
Which means I have
286
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,952
to figure out how to work
with Billy in the meantime.
287
00:16:27,019 --> 00:16:29,621
>> Abby: Hmm.
Well, that's not stressful
288
00:16:29,688 --> 00:16:32,791
at all.
>> Devon: Oh, yeah.
289
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,893
It's just unfortunate,
because it makes things a lot
290
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,464
less productive around here
than they need to be.
291
00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:41,500
>> Abby: And it's draining.
I mean, I know, I had one of the
292
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:43,569
worst business partners ever
in Phyllis.
293
00:16:43,635 --> 00:16:45,671
It doesn't get any worse
than that. I mean, Billy can't
294
00:16:45,738 --> 00:16:49,942
possibly be that bad, right?
>> Devon: They're different.
295
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:52,044
I don't want to badmouth
anybody in your family,
296
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:57,616
but I think that they're
equally bad in their own ways.
297
00:16:57,683 --> 00:17:00,252
>> Abby: I hate seeing you
like this.
298
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:01,987
Is there anything I can do
to help?
299
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:04,390
>> Devon: No, no.
I appreciate it, but this is
300
00:17:04,456 --> 00:17:07,793
something that I have to deal
with on my own, and I will.
301
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,763
I'm actually kind of happy
that Billy's going to be
302
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:12,798
going out of town.
Because even with Chance
303
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:14,733
in the mix, I think things
will run a lot smoother
304
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,672
with him being gone.
>> Billy: Thank you very much.
305
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:23,675
>> Chelsea: Hey.
>> Billy: Hey. How you doing?
306
00:17:23,742 --> 00:17:26,111
>> Chelsea: Oh, I just wish
we were there already.
307
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:28,280
>> Billy: Okay, well,
coffee for the road,
308
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:30,416
there's gas in the car,
I wrapped up everything at work,
309
00:17:30,482 --> 00:17:32,451
so I'm good to go.
>> Chelsea: Great. Thanks.
310
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:34,787
And I-- I've stayed
at this hotel before, and, um--
311
00:17:34,853 --> 00:17:37,656
[ Chelsea sighs ]
...I confirmed the appointment
312
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:40,559
with Connor's OCD specialist,
so we're all set.
313
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:43,128
>> Billy: But you're anxious
anyway.
314
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:46,331
>> Chelsea: I hate this.
>> Billy: Chels, you're doing
315
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:49,735
everything you can right now.
>> Chelsea: I know.
316
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:52,671
I'm just scared about what
the specialist is going to say.
317
00:17:52,738 --> 00:17:54,606
And how that's going to affect
Connor, and then how I'm
318
00:17:54,673 --> 00:17:56,341
going to react, and then
how he's going to react
319
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:58,076
when he sees me react.
>> Billy: Okay, just take
320
00:17:58,143 --> 00:18:00,412
a breath, okay?
One step at a time.
321
00:18:00,479 --> 00:18:02,481
This is about finding out
what's going on with Connor.
322
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,550
Then we listen to the doctors.
They give us a protocol.
323
00:18:04,616 --> 00:18:08,020
We follow that, again,
one step at a time.
324
00:18:08,086 --> 00:18:10,889
I know this is difficult, okay?
But you're gonna get through it,
325
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:12,658
and I'll be there
every step of the way.
326
00:18:12,724 --> 00:18:15,194
>> Chelsea: Are you sure
you want to come with me?
327
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,529
I feel guilty dragging you
away from your new job.
328
00:18:17,596 --> 00:18:20,666
I mean, how did Devon react when
you told him you were leaving?
329
00:18:20,732 --> 00:18:24,870
>> Billy: Uh, well...
>> Chelsea: He was annoyed.
330
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:28,240
>> Billy: Devon's Devon.
You know, but Chance is going to
331
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,709
step up for me, and Devon knows
how to get a hold of me.
332
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:32,110
>> Chelsea: You know,
it's not too late.
333
00:18:32,177 --> 00:18:34,046
>> Billy: Too late for what?
>> Chelsea: You should stay.
334
00:18:34,112 --> 00:18:35,614
Don't come with me.
>> Billy: Hey, I'm coming
335
00:18:35,681 --> 00:18:38,083
with you.
Now, look, Devon actually
336
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:40,118
wished us all the best,
and he hopes that everything
337
00:18:40,185 --> 00:18:42,421
works out with Connor.
>> Chelsea: Really?
338
00:18:42,488 --> 00:18:44,623
>> Billy: Yes.
And I believe he was
339
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:47,593
sincere this time.
>> Chelsea: Well, that-- that's
340
00:18:47,659 --> 00:18:50,095
nice of him, but I still feel
like there's more to it.
341
00:18:50,162 --> 00:18:52,764
I know things are really tricky
between you and Devon right now.
342
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:54,666
>> Billy: Yeah, there's tension
in the air.
343
00:18:54,733 --> 00:18:56,535
>> Chelsea: Oh, great, and now
I'm dragging you away
344
00:18:56,602 --> 00:18:58,737
at the worst possible time.
>> Billy: I am coming with you.
345
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:00,138
I'm committed
to coming with you.
346
00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:03,141
Don't talk me out of it.
Okay?
347
00:19:03,208 --> 00:19:06,044
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
Have I mentioned how much
348
00:19:06,111 --> 00:19:09,581
I appreciate you?
This would be so much harder for
349
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:13,552
me if you weren't by my side.
>> Adam: Hey.
350
00:19:13,619 --> 00:19:17,856
I, uh, figured we would
take my car.
351
00:19:17,923 --> 00:19:21,827
Is Billy here to see you off?
>> Billy: Actually, I'm--
352
00:19:21,894 --> 00:19:23,896
I'm driving Chelsea.
353
00:19:31,103 --> 00:19:33,505
>> Adam: Why are you going?
>> Chelsea: Adam...
354
00:19:33,572 --> 00:19:36,542
>> Adam: Chelsea, this--
this is a private
355
00:19:36,608 --> 00:19:39,611
family matter, okay?
And someone from the outside
356
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:41,446
could make things worse.
It could make Connor
357
00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:43,315
more uncomfortable
or more self-conscious.
358
00:19:43,382 --> 00:19:46,084
>> Chelsea: Connor hardly sees
Billy as an outsider.
359
00:19:46,151 --> 00:19:49,187
They've become very close,
and I think you know that.
360
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:51,390
If anything, Billy can
help put Connor at ease.
361
00:19:51,456 --> 00:19:55,594
Isn't that what we all want?
We shouldn't be worried
362
00:19:55,661 --> 00:19:57,262
about who's going.
We should be worried
363
00:19:57,329 --> 00:19:59,531
about this first meeting.
It's supposed to be
364
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:04,736
an exploratory discussion.
>> Adam: Okay.
365
00:20:04,803 --> 00:20:07,339
Okay, what do we even know
about this therapist, Chelsea?
366
00:20:07,406 --> 00:20:09,508
>> Chelsea: She comes highly
recommended by the school.
367
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:12,044
>> Billy: There hasn't been
a definite diagnosis yet?
368
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:14,713
>> Adam: No, not yet.
That's part of the reason
369
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:17,649
why we're going up there.
I still have a hard time
370
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:19,585
believing that my son
could have OCD.
371
00:20:19,651 --> 00:20:23,488
>> Chelsea: Adam, you have to
approach this with an open mind.
372
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:25,657
And you have to be willing
to accept whatever
373
00:20:25,724 --> 00:20:28,093
his diagnosis is.
>> Billy: The last thing Connor
374
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,062
needs is to feel that there
might be a contradiction
375
00:20:30,128 --> 00:20:31,530
to what's actually
happening with him.
376
00:20:31,597 --> 00:20:33,365
So we need to be on
the same page pulling
377
00:20:33,432 --> 00:20:36,068
Connor through this.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
378
00:20:36,134 --> 00:20:38,537
And the last thing that I need
is for you to tell me
379
00:20:38,604 --> 00:20:49,648
how to parent my own son.
[ knocking on door ]
380
00:20:49,715 --> 00:20:51,216
>> Victoria: Hi.
>> Cole: Hey.
381
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:54,987
>> Claire: You're here.
I'm almost afraid to ask.
382
00:20:55,053 --> 00:20:57,789
Has there been a decision?
>> Victoria: The judge has
383
00:20:57,856 --> 00:21:02,194
granted you freedom.
>> Claire: I'm leaving?
384
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:04,796
>> Victoria: Effective
right away.
385
00:21:04,863 --> 00:21:06,965
>> Claire: Michael said it was
a possibility, but I didn't
386
00:21:07,032 --> 00:21:09,501
think it would happen so soon.
>> Cole: Well, it's done,
387
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:11,803
Claire.
You're getting out of here,
388
00:21:11,870 --> 00:21:17,609
and you're coming home with us.
>> Claire: I don't know
389
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:21,480
how to feel.
I mean,
390
00:21:21,546 --> 00:21:25,517
I've never been out there
the way that I am now.
391
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:31,289
I'm-- I'm excited...
but scared.
392
00:21:31,356 --> 00:21:33,392
>> Cole: Well, it's--
it's a big change.
393
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:37,796
It's totally normal
to feel some nerves.
394
00:21:37,863 --> 00:21:40,899
>> Claire: And what
about Jordan?
395
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:43,902
She's somewhere out there.
God only knows what
396
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:47,005
her next move is.
Victor got me out of here
397
00:21:47,072 --> 00:21:49,875
for a reason.
So whatever is
398
00:21:49,941 --> 00:21:51,710
going to happen with her,
it'll probably happen soon.
399
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:53,478
>> Cole: Well, listen, we don't
want you to worry
400
00:21:53,545 --> 00:21:55,280
about any of that.
>> Victoria: You're not going to
401
00:21:55,347 --> 00:21:57,582
have to face any of this alone.
We're going to be right there
402
00:21:57,649 --> 00:22:01,286
by your side as you take these
next steps on your journey.
403
00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:04,723
That's what this is.
It's-- it's a journey.
404
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:10,729
To finding your real self
and to being whole again.
405
00:22:10,796 --> 00:22:15,967
>> Claire: A journey.
It's kind of--
406
00:22:16,034 --> 00:22:19,738
kind of strange to think
of my life that way.
407
00:22:19,805 --> 00:22:22,541
For so long,
it was more of a mission.
408
00:22:22,607 --> 00:22:26,878
Every move was
about getting payback or
409
00:22:26,945 --> 00:22:30,248
justice for something
that didn't even happen.
410
00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:36,421
You rejecting me.
And now there's
411
00:22:36,488 --> 00:22:40,325
this whole new path.
Just totally new.
412
00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:49,901
And there's so many options.
I just want to get it right.
413
00:22:49,968 --> 00:22:51,737
>> Mariah: Would you do me
a favor?
414
00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:54,306
>> Kyle: Hmm.
>> Mariah: Please?
415
00:22:54,372 --> 00:22:57,008
Give yourself a break.
You have had
416
00:22:57,075 --> 00:23:01,046
an extremely rough year.
First there was the breakup
417
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:03,215
with Summer.
Then getting booted
418
00:23:03,281 --> 00:23:04,850
out of Marchetti.
I mean, your whole
419
00:23:04,916 --> 00:23:07,886
world was upended.
Then there was that horrible
420
00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:11,223
mistake with Audra Charles.
>> Kyle: Mm. Thanks.
421
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:16,528
That helps.
>> Mariah: So, have you thought
422
00:23:16,595 --> 00:23:22,467
about your part in any of that?
>> Kyle: I haven't thought
423
00:23:22,534 --> 00:23:25,470
about it that way, no.
>> Mariah: Maybe you should
424
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:29,841
do that now.
>> Kyle: Okay.
425
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:34,579
Look, Summer did break my heart.
And my dad did choose her
426
00:23:34,646 --> 00:23:37,716
over me and Marchetti.
And Billy refused to vacate
427
00:23:37,783 --> 00:23:42,387
my former co-CEO seat at Jabot.
>> Mariah: So basically, what
428
00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:46,992
you're saying is you're just
a poor, innocent victim
429
00:23:47,058 --> 00:23:50,595
that had no choice in anything.
>> Kyle: Right, I didn't ask
430
00:23:50,662 --> 00:23:53,265
Summer to lie to me
about her very alive mother.
431
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:55,033
It all just kind of
snowballed from there.
432
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,537
>> Mariah: Come on.
You have free will, okay?
433
00:23:58,603 --> 00:24:02,741
You have made your choices
every step of the way.
434
00:24:02,808 --> 00:24:06,077
And you have to own them.
>> Kyle: Am I supposed to be
435
00:24:06,144 --> 00:24:08,980
enjoying this, 'cause I'm not.
>> Mariah: I'm saying this
436
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:12,350
because I love you.
Otherwise, I would let you go
437
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:16,688
along your merry little way.
But you have to examine
438
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:20,458
your choices, your behavior.
Figure out what you want
439
00:24:20,525 --> 00:24:24,262
and who you want to be.
And-- and not just having to do
440
00:24:24,329 --> 00:24:27,732
with job titles.
Maybe it'll give you a chance
441
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:32,704
to see this as a new beginning.
The start of the next
442
00:24:32,771 --> 00:24:34,773
journey for you.
443
00:24:41,546 --> 00:24:43,248
>> Kyle: Bravo, Mariah.
444
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:46,318
Tear me down to set me
on my journey to me.
445
00:24:46,384 --> 00:24:49,354
>> Mariah: Oh, please.
You're too young to be
446
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:53,358
wallowing in regret.
Or maybe too old, okay?
447
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,927
All I'm saying is you should
just learn how to live
448
00:24:55,994 --> 00:25:00,832
without any more regrets.
>> Kyle: You're right.
449
00:25:00,899 --> 00:25:04,836
You're right, I have a lot
I need to work on, and so much
450
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:07,305
has happened, I need to examine
where I went wrong so I don't
451
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:10,809
make the same mistake again.
>> Mariah: See? See?
452
00:25:10,876 --> 00:25:13,378
That's positive thinking.
That's exactly what I'm
453
00:25:13,445 --> 00:25:16,281
talking about and what you need
more of in your life.
454
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:19,851
So, what's the next
positive thing on the horizon?
455
00:25:19,918 --> 00:25:21,453
>> Kyle: Maybe
that's all the positive
456
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,756
I can handle right now.
I might get a handle on my job.
457
00:25:24,823 --> 00:25:27,359
It may not be
the co-CEO position,
458
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:31,730
but my job is still demanding.
And the rest of my time
459
00:25:31,796 --> 00:25:36,601
and attention goes to Harrison.
And friends like you.
460
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:44,142
What more could I ask for?
>> Abby: You know I can't just
461
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:48,113
leave now, right?
>> Devon: No, not that I
462
00:25:48,179 --> 00:25:51,016
want you to go, but why not?
>> Abby: Because even though
463
00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:56,087
Billy is gone,
I want you to be happy.
464
00:25:56,154 --> 00:25:58,356
You didn't come
to Chancellor-Winters
465
00:25:58,423 --> 00:26:02,127
to feel upset.
I want you to be happy.
466
00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:04,596
>> Devon: How can I not be happy
when I get to go home
467
00:26:04,663 --> 00:26:06,932
to you every day?
>> Abby: No, I want you to be
468
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:10,335
happy most of the time,
if not all the time.
469
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:13,405
Because that is the way
that I feel ever since
470
00:26:13,471 --> 00:26:16,308
we went from being best friends
to what we are now.
471
00:26:16,374 --> 00:26:17,943
>> Devon: Yeah?
>> Abby: Mm-hmm.
472
00:26:18,009 --> 00:26:19,511
>> Devon: Just pure bliss
from day one?
473
00:26:19,577 --> 00:26:22,948
>> Abby: Oh, yeah.
Okay, yes, we had a rough start.
474
00:26:23,014 --> 00:26:25,717
But look at us now.
We're just going to keep
475
00:26:25,784 --> 00:26:30,288
that momentum going.
So I have to help you release
476
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:33,625
all this stress and tension.
>> Devon: How do you propose
477
00:26:33,692 --> 00:26:35,860
you're going to do that?
>> Abby: Do you want me
478
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:37,896
to tell you?
>> Devon: I'd love for you
479
00:26:37,963 --> 00:26:40,632
to tell me, yes.
>> Abby: Okay, I think I will
480
00:26:40,699 --> 00:26:43,935
get you a deep-tissue massage.
Yeah, really get
481
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:47,973
those kinks out, yeah.
Mm-hmm, maybe a hot stone.
482
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,109
>> Devon: Oh, are you joking?
>> Abby: Yeah, I'm joking.
483
00:26:51,176 --> 00:26:59,884
>> Devon: Oh, good, good.
>> Victoria: Just
484
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:02,554
so you know, Claire,
you're not completely free yet.
485
00:27:02,620 --> 00:27:06,191
There are some legal conditions
that have to be met.
486
00:27:06,257 --> 00:27:07,759
>> Claire: I'm ready.
What are they?
487
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:10,462
>> Victoria: Well, first of all,
you have to immediately
488
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:13,064
enroll in an outpatient program
with your doctors.
489
00:27:13,131 --> 00:27:15,433
And then you're going to need
to periodically check in
490
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,802
with the penal system.
It's sort of like
491
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:20,972
being on parole.
Uh, last but not least,
492
00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,742
we're going to have to prove
that you have a security set up
493
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:27,045
at the house
where you'll be living.
494
00:27:27,112 --> 00:27:29,914
>> Claire: And where
will that be?
495
00:27:29,981 --> 00:27:32,450
Will I move in with you?
Michael mentioned that
496
00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:35,854
as a possibility, but I
understand if it's
497
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,523
too much too soon,
I don't want to impose.
498
00:27:38,590 --> 00:27:41,593
Maybe-- maybe you could just
help me find some place.
499
00:27:41,659 --> 00:27:43,495
>> Cole: But we said
we'd be right beside you,
500
00:27:43,561 --> 00:27:45,797
and we meant it.
Now, I'm still living
501
00:27:45,864 --> 00:27:49,300
over at the Athletic Club,
but that's really no place
502
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:51,236
for you to call home,
and it's not secure enough.
503
00:27:51,302 --> 00:27:53,204
>> Victoria: I wanted you
to come live with me
504
00:27:53,271 --> 00:27:55,073
at my house.
That's what I wanted.
505
00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:58,143
But Dad thought that it would be
safer for you to be
506
00:27:58,209 --> 00:28:03,148
at the ranch for the time being.
>> Claire: Newman Ranch?
507
00:28:07,886 --> 00:28:14,192
When I was young, I used to
dream about living there.
508
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:17,796
Playing hide and seek.
I imagined there were all these
509
00:28:17,862 --> 00:28:22,067
secret passageways,
about riding horses
510
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:24,803
like a real Newman.
And then I'd remember
511
00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:28,907
that could never be my life,
and my throat would hurt
512
00:28:28,973 --> 00:28:35,080
from trying not to cry.
>> Victoria: Well, hopefully,
513
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:39,317
those feelings will change.
You'll be coming to the ranch
514
00:28:39,384 --> 00:28:43,822
as a Newman.
You'll be living someplace where
515
00:28:43,888 --> 00:28:48,593
you're loved and cared for.
>> Claire: That's all I've
516
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:52,897
wanted my whole life.
>> Victor: And now we need
517
00:28:52,964 --> 00:28:56,167
to release a statement
to the press
518
00:28:56,234 --> 00:29:01,172
where we talk about certain
aspects of my plan, okay?
519
00:29:01,239 --> 00:29:04,576
>> Michael: Uh, the daughter
that Cole and Victoria
520
00:29:04,642 --> 00:29:09,647
thought was dead
miraculously comes home.
521
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:13,952
>> Victor: You got it.
And then we stage a photo
522
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:17,622
where Claire walks in
to Victoria's house,
523
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:21,426
giving the impression
to whoever reads this damn thing
524
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:25,363
that Claire lives
in Victoria's house.
525
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:28,600
>> Michael: Victor, this
requires so many moving parts
526
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:31,569
to fall into place.
I mean, it-- it just takes
527
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:34,339
one little item to go awry,
and the whole thing's
528
00:29:34,405 --> 00:29:36,808
going to blow up.
>> Victor: Then we will see
529
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:39,878
to it that doesn't happen, good?
>> Michael: Are you sure
530
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:41,880
about this?
I mean, have you seriously
531
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:46,284
gone over all the details?
>> Victor: Of course I have.
532
00:29:46,351 --> 00:29:49,854
Since when have you known me
and I have not thought through
533
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:56,895
whatever I intend to do?
Hmm?
534
00:29:56,961 --> 00:30:01,166
I play chess.
Always a few moves ahead.
535
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:13,144
>> Billy: Hey, why don't you
take it easy.
536
00:30:13,211 --> 00:30:14,279
I'm not telling you
how to be a parent.
537
00:30:14,345 --> 00:30:16,681
I made a comment because I'm
looking out for Connor.
538
00:30:16,748 --> 00:30:19,184
>> Adam: You think I'm not
looking out for my son?
539
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:21,486
Okay, is this how you plan
to console Connor,
540
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:23,655
by insulting his father?
>> Chelsea: No, we are
541
00:30:23,721 --> 00:30:25,657
not doing this.
We are not doing this.
542
00:30:25,723 --> 00:30:27,525
We are not fighting.
We are not wasting
543
00:30:27,592 --> 00:30:32,030
precious energy arguing.
Remember what Sharon said?
544
00:30:32,096 --> 00:30:33,798
We have to take this
one step at a time
545
00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:37,835
and not jump to conclusions.
>> Adam: Okay, all I'm saying is
546
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:39,804
we should not take what the
therapist says at face value.
547
00:30:39,871 --> 00:30:42,407
We should get a second opinion.
Hell, we maybe should get
548
00:30:42,473 --> 00:30:44,042
a third opinion, Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Which is what
549
00:30:44,108 --> 00:30:45,476
jumping to conclusions
means, Adam!
550
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:49,447
>> Adam: It doesn't.
>> Chelsea: We haven't even
551
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:51,783
heard what the specialist
has said yet, okay?
552
00:30:51,849 --> 00:30:54,018
But we have to listen
to the doctor who specializes
553
00:30:54,085 --> 00:30:56,321
in this exact issue.
And you know what Connor
554
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:57,889
doesn't need right now?
He doesn't need to feel
555
00:30:57,956 --> 00:31:02,827
the tension between you two,
fighting and me playing referee.
556
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:04,929
If you both can't control
yourself, then maybe
557
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:14,038
you both should stay home.
>> Kyle: Hey, Traci.
558
00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:17,342
>> Traci: Hey, um, listen,
I just sent Harrison in
559
00:31:17,408 --> 00:31:19,577
to get a snack.
>> Kyle: Oh, well, thanks
560
00:31:19,644 --> 00:31:21,546
for hanging out with him.
Where's his nanny?
561
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:25,083
I didn't see her car out front.
>> Traci: Oh, Linda got a call.
562
00:31:25,149 --> 00:31:28,486
Her mother got sick suddenly.
So she's on a plane to Ohio.
563
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,888
>> Kyle: That's awful, I mean,
I should check in with her.
564
00:31:30,955 --> 00:31:33,091
>> Traci: Yeah, do, I think
she'd really appreciate it.
565
00:31:33,157 --> 00:31:37,161
Um, Kyle, I think this is
going to be an extended visit.
566
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,397
But in the meanwhile,
I'm happy to help out.
567
00:31:39,464 --> 00:31:41,532
>> Kyle: Yeah, much appreciated,
but I'll have to talk to Summer
568
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:43,768
about finding a replacement.
>> Traci: Okay, well,
569
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:45,837
take your time.
I know that a good one
570
00:31:45,903 --> 00:31:49,574
is really hard to find.
Um, he did mention to me
571
00:31:49,641 --> 00:31:52,210
that he misses Summer
being in the house with him.
572
00:31:52,277 --> 00:31:55,480
>> Kyle: I know.
He mentioned it to me, too.
573
00:31:55,546 --> 00:31:57,615
It's been tough on him.
I mean, even though he sees
574
00:31:57,682 --> 00:32:00,518
Summer all the time,
it's still confusing.
575
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:02,453
It adds to the losses
he's already had
576
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,690
in his short, little life.
>> Traci: Yeah, he's had
577
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:09,961
a lot to adjust to, for sure.
Uh, you know, people he loved
578
00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:13,398
disappearing suddenly.
His biological mother, Ashland.
579
00:32:13,464 --> 00:32:15,300
>> Kyle: I hate that
the situation between me
580
00:32:15,366 --> 00:32:18,603
and Summer is causing him
any sadness, and on top of that,
581
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:21,039
he was so attached to his nanny.
Now Linda's gone.
582
00:32:21,105 --> 00:32:25,943
>> Traci: Kyle, listen to me.
You should be very proud
583
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:28,780
of all the things that you're
providing for your son.
584
00:32:28,846 --> 00:32:31,349
You've surrounded him
with people who just adore him.
585
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:35,119
You know, so he never
feels alone or abandoned.
586
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:37,588
And even though Summer
doesn't live in the house,
587
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:40,325
she loves him dearly,
and she shows him
588
00:32:40,391 --> 00:32:44,996
every single chance she gets.
Honey, he's got me,
589
00:32:45,063 --> 00:32:49,267
Ashley, Diane and Jack.
[ Traci laughs ]
590
00:32:49,334 --> 00:32:54,572
You are a wonderful father.
Harrison is so lucky
591
00:32:54,639 --> 00:32:58,142
to have you.
>> Kyle: I hope so.
592
00:32:58,209 --> 00:33:01,346
I mean, every day of his life,
I just want him to be
593
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:05,083
happy and safe.
To know that he's loved.
594
00:33:05,149 --> 00:33:07,618
If I can't do that,
then I've let him down.
595
00:33:07,685 --> 00:33:12,357
And myself.
[ Claire sighs ]
596
00:33:12,423 --> 00:33:13,991
>> Claire: This place
is amazing.
597
00:33:14,058 --> 00:33:19,630
The grounds are like a park.
It's so big and beautiful.
598
00:33:19,697 --> 00:33:21,666
>> Cole: Well, I remember
the first time I set foot
599
00:33:21,733 --> 00:33:26,137
on this ranch years ago.
I think I felt pretty much
600
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:30,041
the same way that you do.
As impressive as it is,
601
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:34,078
it can be just as intimidating.
>> Claire: I just
602
00:33:34,145 --> 00:33:37,382
still can't believe
this is really happening.
603
00:33:37,448 --> 00:33:44,222
I'm really here.
>> Victor: I do not want you
604
00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:48,726
to worry, okay?
You know me, I've thought
605
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:55,733
through every possibility.
I do have things under control.
606
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,136
>> Michael: Well, you've
laid the bait,
607
00:33:58,202 --> 00:34:01,773
you've set the trap.
Now all Jordan has to do
608
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:05,376
is step in it.
>> Victor: Then she won't be
609
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:10,148
able to resist it.
Because she'll feel compelled
610
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:12,183
to confront Claire,
and let her know
611
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:14,886
how much she disagrees
with Claire moving in
612
00:34:14,952 --> 00:34:17,188
with Victoria.
>> Michael: And then Claire
613
00:34:17,255 --> 00:34:20,591
will deliver the message
that you want to meet
614
00:34:20,658 --> 00:34:26,631
with Jordan concerning Eve.
>> Victor: And then Jordan will
615
00:34:26,697 --> 00:34:31,269
think that she's in control.
And she'll be in
616
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:36,441
for the surprise of a life
to learn otherwise.
617
00:34:36,507 --> 00:34:38,976
>> Jordan: Where is
that hospital number?
618
00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:48,953
Ooh, ooh, there.
Hello, yes,
619
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:52,457
uh, this is Nikki Newman.
I would like to be connected
620
00:34:52,523 --> 00:34:56,394
to my granddaughter,
Claire Grace.
621
00:34:56,461 --> 00:35:01,699
No, no, you must be mistaken.
Claire Grace?
622
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:06,504
She's been released?
Are you sure?
623
00:35:06,571 --> 00:35:10,508
Thank you.
But it's so soon.
624
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:16,614
How is that possible?
>> Victoria: This is only the
625
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:23,421
first step of your homecoming.
But, Claire...
626
00:35:23,488 --> 00:35:28,159
you are home.
Come here.
