[ Christine gasps ] >> Christine: Yes! Hi!
I'm so glad you called.
>> Nina: Of course I called, silly.
Whenever I'm in town, you're at the top of my
list of people to see.
I love you so much.
>> Christine: Thank you.
Thank you.
How long are you in town for?
>> Nina: Uh, a few days.
I've got some meetings in New York next week.
And it gave me an excuse to pop in and check up
on Chance and see how he's doing at Chancellor-Winters.
>> Christine: Bumped into him once or twice. Still not really
used to that business suit.
>> Nina: Ah! I just hope that he's thriving because
I, personally, am over the moon that my son finally has
a job that won't get him shot.
>> Christine: It's gotta be such a relief.
>> Nina: It is.
>> Christine: So, you know that GCPD, um, they lost a good guy
when Chance walked away.
>> Nina: Oh, he had a great run in law enforcement.
And I couldn't be more proud of what he's achieved.
But I do not regret his career change.
Jill better keep him happy or else.
>> Christine: Listen, the-- the timing of your trip, it's--
it's perfect.
I could use a friend.
>> Nina: Because of Danny?
>> Christine: How'd you guess?
>> Nina: So, tell me again, what happened with you two?
>> Christine: Look, Phyllis.
>> Danny: No, the dates are great. I'm-- I'm really excited
about moving the tour up and getting back out there
in front of a live audience.
We've got the new material from the album I'm dying to try
out on the fans, so, fantastic.
All right, so, yeah, I'll wait for the itinerary and then,
uh, I'll start my packing.
Okay, thanks so much. Bye.
>> Phyllis: Wait a second, you're going on tour?
I mean, when-- Now? When we're so close to
getting back together?
♪♪♪
>> Nikki: Oh, my goodness.
How gorgeous. Victor...
"Thank you for being a friend still.
Best, Seth."
Oh, my gosh.
Um, Larry, you can wait out in the foyer.
Please close the door behind you.
[ line ringing ] [ phone ringing ]
>> Seth: Nikki?
>> Nikki: I got your flowers.
Completely unnecessary, but they're beautiful.
>> Seth: Yeah, well, it's the least I could do.
I mean, you could have pushed me away
when I needed someone to talk, but instead you were kind and
that really meant a lot to me.
So, thanks again.
>> Nikki: You're welcome.
And thank you.
>> Seth: Hey, uh, since I got you on the phone,
I got some news.
>> Nikki: Oh? What is it?
>> Seth: Uh, you feel like grabbing coffee?
Crimson Lights?
>> Nikki: Now?
>> Seth: If you're available, I think you'll really be pleased
by what I have to tell you.
And I'm not drinking.
>> Nikki: Well, if you don't mind a bodyguard hovering
nearby, I would be happy to meet with you.
>> Seth: Great.
So I'll see you in a bit.
>> Victor: Well, now look at that.
>> Victoria: Hi, Daddy.
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
>> Victoria: We just came from showing Claire her guest suite.
>> Victor: Wow.
Everything to your liking?
>> Claire: It's the most amazing bedroom I've ever seen,
yet it still manages to feel so warm and cozy.
And the bathroom even has a sauna, and the closet...
>> Cole: It's a pretty good size, huh?
>> Claire: It's enormous.
My little wardrobe will fit in a corner.
>> Victoria: Well, I know that the ranch can be
pretty overwhelming at first.
>> Claire: The place is like a fantasy.
The grounds, the house, the pool.
>> Victoria: You should see the little spring-fed lake.
I don't know if you did, but Nick and I, we used to look
for frogs and turtles when we were kids.
>> Victor: Well, I suggest you have your parents show you
around the ranch.
Do you ride?
>> Claire: No, but...
>> Victor: No?
>> Claire: ...I've always wanted to learn.
>> Cole: Well, there are plenty of people around to teach you.
>> Victor: Certainly.
>> Cole: And the trails are beautiful,
especially in the winter.
>> Claire: I am so grateful to be able to stay here.
Thank you.
>> Victoria: No, you don't have to thank us.
>> Victor: You know, once this whole saga with that Jordan
woman has come to an end, um, you can decide
where you want to stay.
With your parents or here.
You're a Newman now.
That will never change.
>> Claire: I hope to live up to your faith in me.
Prove myself worthy.
>> Cole: Well, that's not how family works.
You don't need to prove a thing.
>> Victor: But you already have.
By being willing to help us capture your aunt
and bring her to justice.
>> Claire: I want that as much as you do.
All of the therapy has helped me to see
the truth about that woman.
I hate what she's done to me.
To all of you.
The thought of her makes me sick.
>> Victoria: Still, Jordan did raise you.
You don't feel any kind of a connection to her?
>> Claire: Not since that day in the cabin.
I got her gun away from her.
If Nikki hadn't stopped me...
Jordan is the person who took me from my family.
That's all she'll ever be to me.
A threat to be dealt with.
I need to protect you all the way you're protecting me.
>> Victoria: I can't thank you enough for that.
>> Victor: Well, I already started the ball rolling.
The news of your release from Memorial Hospital
has hit the media.
And once your aunt gets wind of it, I'm sure that
she will respond.
>> Christine: Okay, so, you know, this started
before the holidays.
>> Nina: Phyllis's shenanigans.
>> Christine: Oh, that is way too nice of a word
for what she's been pulling.
>> Nina: You're right, I'm sorry, I forgot
who we were talking about.
The original queen of bad behavior.
>> Christine: I tried to take the high road for as long
as I could because things were fine.
You know, they were better than fine.
Christmas was amazing.
And then we were gonna take that weekend getaway.
>> Nina: Oh, that would have been so romantic.
>> Christine: Oh, which sent Phyllis into orbit.
>> Nina: No, of course it did.
What did she do?
>> Christine: She just doesn't want us to be happy.
So she stirred up that whole social media thing,
timed it so I walked in and saw their kiss.
I mean, after that happened, I couldn't very well ignore her.
>> Nina: She got under your skin.
>> Christine: Yes, yes, but don't you see?
I promised that I would never let myself do this again.
But I'm telling you, that woman!
>> Nina: I know, believe me.
>> Christine: I was acting like this jealous schoolgirl.
Not a good look, especially with Danny.
He's never seen me act insecure, and I think
it really rattled him.
>> Nina: No, you were fresh off a divorce, feeling more
vulnerable than usual, and Phyllis knew it.
She pushed all your buttons.
>> Christine: And ever since then, it has been
nonstop drama.
Phyllis acts out, I put her in her place, and we wind up
at each other's throats.
>> Nina: Well, please, will you let me strangle her?
>> Christine: Oh, come on, you have no idea how tempted I am.
But, no, I'm serious.
This has gotten really bad.
Danny's backed away from both of us.
He can't handle the conflict, and unfortunately,
Phyllis gets to me, I play right into it,
and I am driving him away all by myself.
>> Nina: I'm so sorry.
I should have come back sooner and snapped you out of this.
>> Christine: No, that judge should have put Phyllis away
for killing Stark.
We would have all been so much better off without her.
>> Nina: I know, I agree.
You know, you can't give up on this.
That's not the Cricket I know.
>> Danny: You just can't leave it alone, can you?
You refuse to accept reality.
>> Phyllis: Hey, listen, Danny.
Okay. Look-- >> Danny: No, I want you
to stop, okay?
All right? Nothing has changed.
We are not-- I repeat-- we are not getting back together.
I don't have romantic feelings for you.
We are friends, coparents.
That's it!
>> Phyllis: Well, I know this.
I know there's something between us.
[ Danny sighs ] And it's very, very powerful.
I feel it.
Listen, when I look at you and Christine, there's no spark.
It's like watching paint dry.
>> Danny: Which is the other reason why we're not gonna
have this conversation.
Because I do not want to be this dodgeball that you two
keep throwing at each other.
>> Phyllis: Well, that's a bad metaphor.
Because if it were dodgeball, Christine
would be on the floor by now.
>> Danny: Okay, that's not funny.
>> Phyllis: It's a little bit funny.
>> Danny: No, it's not.
>> Phyllis: Hey, listen to me.
I know your hesitation.
I understand it.
I didn't expect this either.
It caught me by surprise.
I didn't expect you to walk into my life at this late date
and feel this way.
>> Danny: I'm not buying a word you're saying.
>> Phyllis: I'm completely sincere.
[ Danny scoffs ] I am.
Hey, listen.
You have two women fighting over you.
I mean, one of them happens to be me-- lucky you.
>> Danny: Oh, so you think this is flattering?
Well, guess what?
It's exhausting.
It really is.
And I just can't handle all this pettiness.
So, yeah, I've added dates.
I'm moving up the second part of the tour, and it's time
that I leave Genoa City.
>> Phyllis: Well, those dates can't be set in stone.
They can be changed.
You know that.
Is there anything I can do to change your mind?
>> Danny: Not a single thing.
>> Phyllis: Well, I guess that's decided.
You're leaving to go on tour.
Well, that's that.
>> Danny: Yeah. 100%.
>> Phyllis: Well, I guess my loss is your fans' gain.
Right?
And I'm sure they'll all enjoy listening to you and
watching you perform.
Hearing all of your new songs.
Especially that one that we collaborated on. Yeah.
>> Phyllis: So, when do you leave?
>> Danny: Two weeks. Yeah.
>> Phyllis: It's so soon.
>> Danny: Not soon enough for me.
I need a break from my break, which
really wasn't restful at all.
>> Phyllis: Okay, well, at least can we have dinner together
before you leave?
>> Danny: I-- >> Phyllis: A fond farewell?
I-- I don't-- I don't think that's a good idea.
>> Phyllis: Okay, no strings attached, just a goodbye dinner.
>> Danny: Phyllis, I-- >> Phyllis: Just-- Really, just
a dinner with me.
To say goodbye.
Before I have to share you with the rest of the world.
>> Danny: Okay. Fine. We'll, uh, yeah, we'll set something up
in a week or so.
>> Phyllis: How about tonight?
>> Nina: Cricket, you cannot throw in the towel
'cause then Phyllis wins, and that's unacceptable.
>> Christine: All right, well, listen.
I'm not only upset with Phyllis.
I mean, I'm not loving how Danny's handling this either.
>> Nina: What do you mean?
>> Christine: Well, he insists on being supportive and treating
her like a friend.
He's buying into this nonsense that she's changed.
It's ludicrous.
>> Nina: It is ludicrous.
He knows who Phyllis is just as much as you do.
>> Christine: Yeah, you'd think, right?
But she plays on his sympathies.
She milks it for all it's worth.
And she looks for any little sign that he's
being decent toward her.
Like that could mean something, and, you know,
Danny's not helping, saying that he cares for both of us.
>> Nina: Oh, you can't believe that. I mean, that he could
see her that way? No.
>> Christine: The fact that he could have any sort of
attraction for her is-- It's so disturbing. I just--
I have so many doubts right now.
>> Nina: Okay.
Do give up.
>> Christine: What?
>> Nina: Sort of. I mean, don't necessarily
give up entirely, but just back away.
Throw yourself into work or some interesting project.
Just be busy.
Create some distance.
Basically be nowhere to be found on the planet.
>> Christine: I-- I-- I-- I see what you're saying.
>> Nina: Just let Danny know, with your actions,
that he's in danger of losing you again.
And then it'll be up to him whether to cross that gap
you've created to prevent that.
>> Christine: Dating coach?
>> Nina: No, I've just been studying, you know,
romantic dynamics for my storytelling purposes and
just picked up a few tried-and-true methods
to get things back on track.
>> Christine: I see.
>> Nina: Now, I know it's gonna sound counterintuitive.
You're used to being in charge of everything all the time.
So it's gonna take some willpower on your part.
But I guarantee it'll have an impact on Danny.
Because you are the object of his desire.
You always have been.
When he sees you pulling away,
he's gonna realize what's at stake and get with the program.
>> Nikki: Good morning, Esther.
>> Esther: Nikki, hi.
It's so nice to see you. Uh...
that man behind you, is he your bodyguard?
>> Nikki: Yes, he is.
>> Esther: Well, wha-- what does that mean?
A-- a-- are you in danger?
I-- I wa-- I wasn't trained for anything
like this. I-- is-- is there gonna be trouble?
>> Nikki: No, I'm not anticipating any.
>> Esther: Oh, that's good.
I think.
>> Nikki: So, I would like a hot tea, please,
raspberry and bring an extra one for Larry here.
Everything will be fine.
Thank you for your concern.
>> Esther: Oh, well, you're like family to me, Nikki.
Of course I worry.
>> Seth: Hi. You got here quick.
>> Nikki: Well, Newman Tower is not far from here.
>> Seth: All right, well, thanks for freeing up
some time to meet with me.
>> Nikki: Well, when you said you had news,
I couldn't help but be curious.
>> Seth: Yeah. Um, before we get to that,
what's the deal with the guard, if I may ask?
I mean, what-- Is it about that ordeal
you went through with the women force-feeding you vodka?
>> Nikki: Yeah, I'm afraid it is.
The mastermind has escaped from prison,
and she's made it clear that she's not done torturing us yet.
>> Seth: That's terrible.
>> Nikki: Yes, well, I finally convinced my husband
that I shouldn't be a prisoner in my own home because of it,
so we decided that I can get out and about again
as long as Larry escorts me.
>> Seth: Okay. Well, I'm glad you're being careful.
>> Nikki: I have to admit I do feel safer with him around.
>> Seth: Yeah. Wow.
I just feel like my mind's blown that this woman
would even be foolish enough to come after you again.
>> Nikki: Well, she's insane, and she is obsessed
with me paying for things that happened decades ago,
things that I had no part in.
>> Jordan: All right, Claire.
Where are you now?
>> Nikki: Thank you, Esther.
>> Esther: Oh, you're welcome.
>> Seth: So this woman who did that to you, what--
what was her name again?
>> Nikki: I'd rather not talk about her. It's too upsetting.
>> Seth: Okay. Understood.
>> Nikki: So, what's this news of yours?
>> Seth: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
I'm starting to realize that just going to meetings
and talking to my sponsor is not cutting it, and if I
really want to kick the booze altogether, I'm gonna
admit myself to rehab.
>> Nikki: Oh, Seth, that's wonderful.
>> Seth: Yeah. Truth is, I think that's my only hope.
I mean, I thought that reconnecting with you
and getting your forgiveness was gonna push me
to sobriety, and that's what Isabel encouraged me to
try, but I really think I need more structured help.
>> Nikki: Mm. Well, I'm glad you're taking charge
of your recovery in such a strong way.
>> Seth: Yeah. I'm ready, you know? It just--
it feels right.
>> Nikki: So, this Isabel, I assume you're
talking about that same woman that you mentioned last time?
>> Seth: Yeah, from AA.
>> Nikki: I-- I really can't place her from my meetings.
I-- I don't recognize that name.
>> Seth: She was probably starting to avoid you.
>> Nikki: Why would she be avoiding me?
[ Seth exhales sharply ]
>> Jordan: "Claire Grace has
been released from medical treatment at Genoa City
Memorial Hospital into the care of Cole Howard
and Victoria Newman, daughter of...
titan Victor Newman.
Rumor has it that the young woman is Howard
and Newman's daughter."
Oh, my God.
They're taking her in.
Making her one of their own.
Claire, don't you see what's going on?
They're going to destroy you the same way
they destroyed my sister.
>> Victor: Just know that once the story
hits the news outlets, um, Newman Media will do
an in-depth piece on the three of you, all right?
And they will talk about the newest Newman
and the fact that both your parents have found you again
after thinking that you had been buried.
>> Claire: You're going public with this now?
The whole world's gonna know who I am?
>> Victoria: We weren't planning on keeping it a secret forever,
just until, you know, things settled down
and we could get a handle on it.
>> Cole: Claire, you didn't think we were ashamed, did you?
Because nothing could be further from the truth.
>> Claire: This all feels strange.
Jordan insisted my whole life that we keep
my identity under wraps.
>> Victor: I promise you that from now on she will control
none of your life.
>> Victoria: Do you feel ready?
To handle the change?
>> Claire: I have no idea what this is gonna mean.
>> Victoria: Well, we're all gonna be there to help you
through this, I promise.
>> Cole: Claire, once this story hits, there's going to be a lot
going on.
There's gonna be a lot of attention focused
on the three of us, but especially you.
I mean, it's the kind of revelation that every
news outlet is gonna want to put their own spin on.
>> Victor: Your father's right, okay?
They'll come at you from all sides, wanting interviews,
TV appearances, et cetera.
>> Victoria: We will do our best to shield you,
and I'm gonna prepare Johnny and Katie so that nobody's
blindsided by this.
>> Victor: Right. Newman Media has an exclusive
on this story, obviously.
And Nikki runs Newman Media.
That way we keep control of it all.
>> Claire: Make sure it's where Jordan can't miss it.
>> Victoria: Right, but this is more about you than it is her.
This is our way of publicly cementing your place
in the family.
>> Claire: Thank you for the heads-up.
I'll do my best to prepare myself.
>> Cole: Well, the first hurricane's always the hardest.
After a while, you're handling them like a pro.
>> Claire: I do have one question.
Why isn't Nikki here?
Is she all right with me moving in?
>> Victor: Claire, I want you
to know that Nikki is very much on board with you staying here.
>> Victoria: I'm curious too, Dad.
Where is Mom this morning?
I thought you were adamant about her staying at the ranch.
>> Victor: Yeah, I certainly was.
However, your mother convinced me that it was good
for her well-being to get away from the confines
of the ranch for a while.
>> Cole: So, where is she now?
>> Victor: I want you all to know that there's
no problem, okay?
I said to her, "If you go to the office,
one of my security team will be at your side at all times."
>> Seth: Okay, so, you and Isabel were friends
back in your drinking days, right, and then you got
sober together, but then you had a falling out because
she fell off the wagon, and stayed there-- Yeah.
>> Nikki: None of that ever happened.
At least, not that I can remember.
I have never known anybody with the name of Isabel.
>> Seth: Really?
Wow.
I don't really know what to say.
I'm sorry I even brought it up.
>> Nikki: Why?
>> Seth: Like I said, she confided in me.
She asked me not to bring up her name because it was
such a slurred subject.
And now I've betrayed her trust.
I don't know, I feel terrible.
And I-- I just-- You know, because she was
the one that encouraged me to patch things up with you.
>> Nikki: Remind me, what exactly
did Isabel say to you?
>> Seth: You know, I told you, she-- she told me that I
shouldn't just assume that you would hate me or blame me
for failing as your sponsor.
And that I should give you credit for being compassionate.
>> Nikki: So she urged you to reach out to me,
and get close again.
What does she look like?
>> Seth: Uh, I mean, she's about your age.
Reddish hair, glasses.
>> Nikki: Okay, now I know I have never met this woman.
That description doesn't fit anybody that I know.
How did you two strike up this conversation?
And-- and how did my name get brought up?
>> Seth: I mean, she approached me, and she said
we had a friend in common.
And she said your name.
>> Nikki: How did she know who you were?
How did she know that you knew me?
>> Christine: I've come so close to walking away.
And I know Danny threatened to do that himself, but I just
can't believe that either one of us want to just leave this
on a bad note.
>> Nina: No.
I can't imagine that either.
I mean, the man's carried a torch for you
for how many years?
I honestly think that if you give him a little incentive,
he'll get going in the right direction.
>> Christine: Yeah, look, one thing's for certain.
This situation with Phyllis has to end, I cannot put up with
her garbage anymore.
It's time to draw a line in the sand.
>> Danny: Please don't pressure me, Phyllis.
This is exactly what I'm trying to get away from.
>> Phyllis: It's not what I'm doing, I swear.
>> Danny: Well, it's a good imitation.
>> Phyllis: I happen to have this evening off.
I'm free all evening, actually.
Which is very rare for me, because I have a very
full social calendar.
I'm not a hermit.
>> Danny: Never said you were.
>> Phyllis: And don't you want to get it over with anyway?
Just do it, get it out of the way, so you can get back
to going over your set list and, you know, finalizing
everything for the tour.
You must have a million and one things to attend to
between now and then, right?
>> Danny: Yeah, your argument, uh, does make a lot of sense.
So...
>> Phyllis: Okay.
>> Danny: Okay. Let's do it.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
>> Danny: Dinner.
I'm gonna get the check.
One second.
Excuse me. Hey, hi.
Can I just get the check?
Thank you.
>> Phyllis: I just have one final request.
>> Danny: All right, look.
I know where this is going, all right?
We are not having a private dinner at your place,
or mine either.
I'm not falling for this.
>> Phyllis: Okay.
We'll have to buy out an entire restaurant for you
to do what I have in mind.
>> Danny: Don't go there, okay?
>> Phyllis: I'm not thinking of anything risqué.
Not in public, anyway.
What I want you to do is cook for me.
>> Victor: Well, Claire, I'm gonna leave you
in your mother's capable hands.
She'll give you the rest of the tour.
>> Claire: I'd love that.
>> Victoria: Where are you off to?
>> Victor: I'm gonna meet with security.
And why don't you join me, meet the new supervisor, all right?
>> Cole: That sounds good.
>> Victor: Okay.
>> Victoria: All right, see you later.
>> Victor: Bye-bye.
>> Claire: Bye.
>> Victoria: Uh, you know, I thought maybe next we could
head to the kitchen, and check that out.
You hungry for anything?
>> Claire: Not just yet.
>> Victoria: All right.
>> Claire: Um, hey.
>> Victoria: Yeah?
>> Claire: I get the feeling you still have issues
with this arrangement.
>> Victoria: No, no, not at all.
Just-- just with my dad's plan.
I'm thrilled that you're out of the hospital,
and you're finally getting to know your family.
I know it's gonna be challenging at times, but, um,
I hope you can feel how sincere everyone is
about welcoming you home.
Even your new grandfather.
>> Claire: It just amazes me, thinking about having
two brothers and a sister.
It was, uh-- It was lonely, growing up
with just Jordan around.
>> Victoria: You know that was never supposed to be your life.
>> Claire: From my research, I-- I know basic things,
like how old they are, stuff like that.
But I want to know everything.
What do we have in common?
What do we not have in common?
If you think they'll ever accept me...
>> Victoria: Oh, they are going to accept you,
don't worry.
And I have so many stories to tell you about them,
you're gonna beg me to stop.
[ Claire chuckles ] >> Claire: I can't wait.
>> Seth: Isabelle told me that she spent years
in and out of AA.
But she would show up late, and sit in the back,
and then just leave before anyone noticed, you know.
But she did say that she saw me speak a few times, so listening,
she put the two together, that you and I know each other.
>> Nikki: Is it possible she was wearing a wig?
>> Seth: Uh, I-- I guess it's possible, I hadn't really
thought about it, it just-- Nikki, you're not worried
about this person, are you?
You don't-- you don't think that she's the woman who gave
you the alcohol I.V., do you?
>> Nikki: I think it's very possible.
[ Seth sighs ] >> Seth: Oh, my God.
>> Nikki: So where did you two leave things?
>> Seth: I-- I let her know that the meeting
between you and I, you know, when we talked, that went great,
at your place, and then-- And then I-- I
saw her in person again, and she told me that I should
just-- just be there for you.
But then she started texting me nonstop, and she just wanted
any information between you and I, anything about us.
And I just-- I just never responded.
'Cause you see, the thing is, we would always meet in a bar,
and she was drinking too, and I just thought that since
I decided to go to rehab, that it would probably be
a bad idea for us to really see each other again.
>> Nikki: Yeah, okay, listen.
The number that she texted you from,
I need you to give it to me.
>> Seth: Yeah, well...
What are you gonna do?
>> Nikki: I'm gonna find out if this is the same person
who has been torturing me.
And that's why she wants you and me to get close again,
so that she can use you as a cover to stalk me.
If you would be willing to help.
>> Seth: Anything.
Just say the word.
>> Nikki: String her along.
Don't ignore her texts.
Keep her on the hook where I am concerned.
And then get back to me, and tell me what came of it,
if anything.
>> Seth: Consider it done.
>> Nikki: Thank you.
>> Seth: If you're right about this,
it's despicable, and-- She played me, and...
I might have put you in even more danger.
>> Nikki: No, no.
To the contrary.
You may have just given me the upper hand.
>> Nina: Okay, good.
I'm glad you're gonna take this first step.
You just back away.
>> Christine: You're right.
I don't like who I am in this situation.
It's time to end the cycle.
>> Nina: I agree. Do it.
>> Christine: Yep.
Ah, voicemail.
>> Nina: It's okay.
[ inhales deeply ] Deep breath.
[ Christine sighs ] >> Christine: Danny, hi.
It's me, I need to talk to you.
Can we meet for drinks or dinner tonight?
It's important.
>> Danny: You want me to-- >> Phyllis: Cook for me.
As a going-away present, even though you're
the one who's leaving.
>> Danny: Tonight?
>> Phyllis: Yeah. Tonight.
There's plenty of time.
We'll just plan it out.
And I want you to make the sauce.
Your sauce. With pasta.
I mean, Christine got it.
It's only fair that I get to taste it too.
>> Danny: Okay, first of all, I'm not gonna rent an entire
restaurant to make you a meal.
I'm sorry.
>> Phyllis: Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
I'll make the arrangements.
You just give me a shopping list.
I'll get everything.
And all you have to do is...
cook, that's it.
Say goodbye.
For now.
To an old friend.
[ Danny chuckles ]
>> Jordan: Seth.
>> Seth: I was hoping I'd find you here.
What aren't you telling me?
What are you trying to pull with Nikki?
>> Victoria: Yeah, she played the piano, and, uh--
[ both laughing ] >> Claire: That's so nice.
>> Nikki: Hello, Claire.
>> Claire: Nikki, hi.
It's so good to see you.
>> Nikki: It's good to see you too.
>> Claire: I hope you weren't too startled
that I'm actually here.
>> Nikki: Oh, no, no.
I've been expecting you.
Welcome to your new home.
>> Claire: Thank you.
>> Nikki: I'm sorry I wasn't here to welcome you
when you arrived.
>> Victoria: Dad explained that you went to the office.
That must have felt really good.
>> Nikki: Ah, it's wonderful to be out and about again.
>> Claire: Victoria's been showing me around the ranch,
helping me get settled.
>> Nikki: And how are you finding things?
>> Claire: I'll probably get lost three times a day at first,
but the ranch is amazing.
>> Nikki: I hope you'll be very happy here.
>> Claire: I think I will be, eventually.
But right now, I have Jordan weighing on me.
Wondering how Victor's plan to catch her is gonna unfold.
>> Nikki: Well, we may not have to wait much longer.
>> Victor: Well, hi, sweetheart.
You're home already.
>> Nikki: Hi.
>> Victor: So, how are you doing?
>> Nikki: I'm fine.
>> Victor: Good.
>> Victoria: What's the latest?
>> Victor: Well, it seems pieces are falling into place.
Now we need to release some more information to rile up Jordan.
That way we know she'll contact you.
>> Cole: And it shouldn't take much, a suspected arsonist
and murderer on the run from the law.
By now, she has, uh-- She's got to have
a hair trigger.
>> Victor: Now, darling, I'm gonna give you
this telephone.
And per the judge's ruling, this phone is monitored.
>> Claire: Okay. Thank you.
How will Jordan know to call me on this?
>> Nikki: I may have a way for you to contact her.
And if I'm right, your aunt has already made her first mistake.
>> Announcer: Next week on The Young and the Restless...
>> Chance: What do you think I'm in the mood for?
>> Summer: I'm hoping it's the same thing I am.
>> Hilary: Wow, this must be the famous Mamie Johnson.
It is an honor to finally meet you.
>> Christine: So just like that, you're-- you're leaving?
Are you really ready to give up on us?
>> Seth: We will go outside.
And we can call Nikki together.
>> Jordan: Go on. Make the call.
I'm looking forward to the reunion.
