>> Sally: Thank you.
Hi. Come here.
[ Adam sighs ]
Did you get any more news
from Chelsea about Connor?
>> Adam: No, I talked to her
earlier. There's no new news.
I just grabbed some of his
things to take back to him.
>> Sally: When are you leaving?
>> Adam: Well, there is some
family stuff going on.
Some other family stuff, I mean.
Just-- It feels like everything
is spiraling right now,
but I'm going to be going back
to Minnesota as soon as I can.
>> Sally: What do you mean,
everything is spiraling?
>> Adam: Well, my son is in
deep emotional pain.
And my father's life
is in the hands of a mad woman.
>> Victoria: Nick, where are
you? You haven't returned
any of my calls.
Please call me back.
Adam said that Nick
would be here soon.
I mean, at least that's what
Nick told Adam, and that was
hours ago. So where could he be?
>> Michael: I'm sure you'll hear
from him soon.
[ Victoria sighs ]
>> Victoria: At least Mom agreed
to try to get some rest.
The last thing she needs
is to have to worry about
Nicholas too.
>> Cole: You probably should get
some rest too.
I mean, you gotta be hungry.
>> Michael: Claire wanted to
keep busy, so she's in
the kitchen now, trying to
put together some snacks.
>> Victoria: No, look, I don't
need food or-- or rest. I just
need to hear from my father
and Nicholas. I mean,
what if something
happened to one of them?
Or both of them? I mean, God,
how has it come to this anyway?
>> Cole: I know you're worried,
but I am sure they're both fine.
Victor can take care of himself,
and Nick can handle whatever
it is that's keeping him
from answering his messages.
>> Victoria: Okay, I know,
you're probably right, and maybe
Nick is not caught up in this
whole Jordan mess, but this is
just unlike him. I mean,
he would never do this to us.
He knows how on edge we all are.
>> Michael: All right, look,
he will probably have
a great explanation
once you hear from him.
>> Victoria: Fine, but I just
hate this waiting game. I--
It's like Jordan,
she has us at her mercy,
like we're being held captive
by her again.
How much of this woman's horror
do we have to put up with?
♪♪
>> Devon: Oh, look, you're back.
That was a short trip, huh?
>> Billy: Yeah. Did you miss me?
>> Lucy: You know, prom is still
months away, but I was just
asked to be on the decorating
committee, which is really
cool because technically
I'm still the new girl.
But I can't be on the decorating
committee and show up to prom
without a date.
And what if no one asks me?
Speaking of asking, you know
Waylon Marrs? He's the kid with
the really great hair
and he's really smart.
I mean, I wonder who he's
going to take, because
I would be a pretty good date.
>> Daniel: Whoa!
>> Lucy: What?
>> Daniel: Hold on there.
Waylon Marrs? Who's that?
>> Heather: You know Waylon,
babe, the one with the, uh,
really good hair.
>> Daniel: Mm.
And are you dating this one
with really good hair?
>> Lucy: Dad, if we were dating,
then I would already have a date
to prom, which I don't.
>> Heather: She did
mention that.
>> Daniel: Hmm.
Well, you know...
I am going to expect to meet
this child before you
go anywhere with him.
>> Lucy: Dad, he hasn't
even asked me yet, okay?
Mom, come on.
>> Heather: Sorry, honey.
You're on your own
with this one.
[ lock clicks ]
>> Michael: Look, I have no
doubt your father has a solid
plan. Whatever Jordan tries
to pull, he will be
two steps ahead of her.
It's kind of his superpower.
He has already calculated every
possible move she could make and
he has a contingency plan
in place for all of them.
>> Victoria: Michael, how can
anyone know what that twisted
brain of hers will
come up with next?
I mean, Dad missed something,
maybe. Who knows?
>> Michael: Your father is
nothing if he isn't extremely
thorough. Not to mention
the fact that he has
gotten out of situations
much more intense and dangerous
than this, by a long shot.
>> Cole: I just wish that he had
pulled us in
to help him. I mean,
at the very least, just clued
us into what his plans were.
>> Victoria: Dad had absolutely
no business doing this on his
own. We should have been there.
>> Michael: No, no, no, no, no.
Jordan was expressly expecting
only myself and Victor.
If any other member of the
family had shown up,
she would have been scared off.
Look, I am sure that both of you
are aware of this, but
Victor will be Victor
regardless of what anyone says.
He will always do what he deems
necessary to keep his family
safe. Even at great
personal risk to himself.
So, there is probably zero
chance that any of us
could have changed his mind.
>> Victoria: Cole,
what are you thinking?
>> Cole: It's nothing that you
haven't already heard.
It's my guilt
for the terror that my family
has put yours through.
My mother was violently deranged
and my Aunt Jordan is too.
Their obsession with
tormenting you is sickening.
>> Victoria: How many times
do I have to tell you?
Stop blaming yourself.
You're not responsible.
I mean, there's absolutely
nothing that you could have done
to change anything
that's happened.
>> Sally: I'm sorry for
everything that Connor's been
going through, and you
and Chelsea too.
And I know that this
Jordan woman has been a threat
to your family, but what is this
latest thing about Victor?
What happened?
[ Adam scoffs ]
>> Adam: The woman is a lunatic.
Okay? She tried to poison
the whole family first.
Then, she burned down
the prison facility
where she was being held
in hopes of escaping so she
could terrorize them again.
And now, she has burned down
Victoria's house too.
This is the woman that Victor
made some sort of deal with.
>> Sally: How could anyone make
a deal with someone like that?
>> Adam: Have you met my dad?
He offered to give her
some life-changing sum of money
and a new identity if she would
flee the country
and she never came back.
>> Sally: Yeah, but why would he
do that? Why wouldn't he just
turn her in to the police?
>> Adam: Because he had to
smoke her out.
That's why he made her
the offer.
And she would only accept the
deal if she could take him
hostage so she could make
a clean getaway.
But it's pretty clear that
the woman is insane.
And he may be in a very
dangerous position.
>> Sally: Oh, my God, I cannot
believe how far Victor's gone.
>> Adam: Well, she threatened
our family.
>> Sally: Okay.
Look, Victor is way too savvy
to let anyone get
the better of him.
>> Adam: That's what I keep
telling myself.
But it doesn't lessen the fear.
You know, my dad would go to
any lengths to protect
the people that he loves,
but I'm afraid for him.
I'm afraid for my son too.
>> Sally: I understand.
Look, here.
You do not have to go through
this alone, okay?
I'm here for you.
I want to help.
>> Devon: Actually, you know
what? If I'm being honest,
it was kind of peaceful here
with you gone.
>> Billy: Yeah? Is that right?
>> Devon: Yeah. No one was
trying to change the name of the
company. Or exert their power
inappropriately. It was great.
>> Billy: Oh, that's funny.
What about Aunt Mamie?
>> Devon: What about Aunt Mamie?
>> Billy: Amanda informed Jill
of Mamie's latest proposition.
How she would like to split
the company in two and keep it
merged together in name only.
I mean, if that's not an attempt
at exerting inappropriate power,
Devon, I don't know what is.
>> Devon: I think that was just
a suggestion though, right?
>> Billy: Right. A suggestion.
Like I suggested we add "Abbott"
to the company name.
Except with you, Devon, there's
always this accusation that
I'm trying to orchestrate
some sort of power grab.
Which I'm not.
But I think it's very clear
that Mamie would love
nothing more than to
split this company into two.
>> Devon: Hm. Well, you make it
sound like she's trying to
destroy the company.
Is that what you believe?
>> Billy: Mamie hates Jill.
She wants to run her out
of the company completely.
>> Devon: Okay. I don't know how
she would do that though because
Chancellor belongs to Jill.
It's her company.
And she hired Lily.
So, Mamie's not going to run
your mom out of her own company.
>> Billy: Okay. Fine. Then let
me ask you this. What's your
opinion on Mamie's proposition?
Would you be happier in
full control of your side
of the company?
And we keep this company merged
in name only?
>> Daniel: Hey. Welcome back.
Uh, I'll take those.
Why didn't you tell me
you were coming back today?
>> Lily: Well, I was, um
going to surprise you.
I was going to make us
some lunch and figure out
a way to get you here.
I thought you were at the office
and, you know,
give you a surprise.
But it looks like
I'm the one getting surprised.
Hey, Lucy. Hi, Heather.
>> Michael: How are you
holding up?
>> Victoria: I'm good.
I'm just trying to stay strong
for my mom and for Claire.
It's just that
Jordan's, um, relentlessness
is starting to get to me.
>> Michael: Hm. Yeah.
It's an ordeal.
It's a lot of weight
for one person to bear.
You found your daughter,
lost your home,
worried about both your parents,
now your brother too.
It's fortunate that
Cole came into your life.
>> Victoria: Yeah, honestly I
don't think I could have gotten
through any of this without him.
>> Michael: Mm-hmm.
Well, even once
Jordan is dealt with, and
I believe your father will
see to it,
there's still a--
a long road ahead for Claire.
For the three of you.
I hope Cole has planned
to stay indefinitely.
He's good for you.
And for Claire.
>> Victoria: Are you trying to
say something without
saying it, Michael?
[ Michael chuckles ]
>> Michael: No. Yes.
Look, anyone can see how close
you two seem to have gotten.
And it wouldn't be the worst
thing in the world if something
positive for you two
came out of all this trauma.
>> Adam: Look, I'm not--
I'm not shutting you out.
I swear.
I'm just-- I'm not thinking
clear enough yet to even know
what kind of help I need.
>> Sally: I get it.
No pressure.
I'll be here whenever
you do know.
>> Adam: You make a good
point, though.
I mean, no one ever
gets the best of Victor Newman.
So, I'm going to stay as
optimistic as I can
where he's concerned.
He is the savviest and most
determined man that I know.
>> Sally: That's right.
And he's going to get
through this.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
>> Sally: And so will Connor.
He is so fortunate to have the
love and support of two strong
and dedicated parents.
You, I know, will move heaven
and earth for him. You and
Chelsea will do whatever it is
necessary, no matter
what it takes.
Just like Victor will do
the same for him and his family.
>> Lucy: Welcome home, Lily.
>> Heather: Yes. This is
such a surprise.
>> Daniel: Yeah, um,
how's Mattie doing?
I mean, she must be doing better
that you felt like you could
come back, right?
>> Lily: Uh, yeah. Yeah,
she's doing better.
You know, it just took her
a while to kind of get
over everything, right?
Like the fire,
her teacher dying and,
you know, it was a shock,
but, um, she's tough.
>> Daniel: Yeah, just like
her mother.
>> Lily: Yeah, she comes from
a long line of strong women.
But, um, I set her up
with a therapist, too,
to kind of help guide her
through everything.
>> Daniel: That's good. I--
I'm glad to hear that.
>> Heather: Yes, that's--
that's wonderful news.
>> Lily: Um, yeah, so, uh,
once she felt good enough
to go back to classes, I thought
it was good to come home.
>> Heather: Hey, Luce, why don't
you and I go for a walk
in that park that we love?
>> Lucy: Or we could go
shopping, look at prom dresses.
Just look, not buy. Not yet.
>> Heather: Okay, come on.
>> Lucy: Yes! I got you.
>> Heather: The both?
>> Lucy: Yep.
>> Heather: Okay. All right.
>> Lily: What's going on?
>> Devon: You know, Billy, why
don't you tell me
if you would be happy
if we restructured the merger
to be in name only?
>> Billy: 100%.
At this point, I think
the merger was a mistake.
>> Devon: A mistake, he says.
Really? And why didn't you
say that to us while we were
merging and you were working
alongside of us?
Because you thought the idea
was great back then.
Is it because things don't suit
your ambitions now that
you think it was a bad idea?
>> Billy: There was a lot more
trust back then.
A lot's changed.
So, has my perspective.
>> Devon: I mean, I think
the only thing that's changed is
you don't work for Lily anymore.
You work for your mom.
>> Billy: No, it's the power
dynamics. They've shifted
underneath my mother.
Not surprising. She feels
outnumbered and isolated.
>> Devon: Really?
That's how she feels?
Well, this is the first
I'm hearing of that.
Is that why she brought you in?
To shift the power
back to her side?
>> Billy: It's to make sure
that her best interests
are represented
and that her voice is heard.
>> Devon: So, that's a yes.
>> Billy: Devon, you're not
subtle in your want
for autonomy, okay?
And I don't think
my mother is either, so...
let's split the company up.
You do what you do.
We'll do what we do.
>> Devon: Wow. Okay.
You've been pretty quiet,
Chance. What do you think
about all this?
I would really love to hear
your opinion about this.
Do you think splitting up
this company is a smart
business decision?
>> Chance: Look, fellas, I think
this is above my pay grade.
>> Devon: But I'm sure you have
an opinion about this,
and I would love to hear it.
>> Chance: All right.
If you really want to know.
>> Devon: I'd love to.
>> Chance: I think that there is
no room in a corporation,
especially one of this size,
for petty infighting
and saber rattling.
I mean, you don't have to be
a corporate executive to know
that ego is the biggest,
most destructive obstacle
to success in any business.
>> Billy: Is that it?
That's profound.
Who exactly are you directing
these comments to, me or Devon?
>> Chance: Look, you shouldn't
have asked me if you didn't
want to know.
And you know what else?
I think both of you need to take
a deep breath and chill out.
>> Michael: I like Cole.
He's a good guy.
He's, you know,
solid and trustworthy.
[ Michael laughs ]
I like how strong and caring
he is with Claire.
And with you too.
You know, a lesser man
would have been flattened
in a heartbeat by everything
that happened.
>> Victoria: I agree.
Cole is one of a kind.
He always has been.
>> Michael: So, do you think
there was some kind of karma
or maybe destiny that ended up
bringing him back into town?
>> Victoria: No, Michael. No.
The only thing that
brought him back to town
was our daughter, Claire.
And this hateful madwoman
who's out for revenge.
Michael, am I wrong right now
or are you trying to play
matchmaker? Because if that's
what you're trying to do,
then you're wasting your time.
Because I have too much going on
in my life right now.
The last thing that I need
or want is a relationship.
>> Sally: This maniac, Jordan,
has caused so much damage.
>> Adam: Yeah, normally that
would be the only thing
on my mind, what the
family's up against.
When your kid is suffering,
all I think about is the
times that I wasn't there
when he needed me.
>> Sally: Adam.
Look at me, please.
I wish that you could see you
the way I do
instead of the way that you do.
>> Adam: Well, that's because
I've lived through the things
that I have done.
You have mostly
just heard vague rumors.
>> Sally: Okay.
You know, you act as if
you're like this ultimate
black sheep bad boy.
I will have you know that
I was quite the troublemaker.
>> Adam: Oh, I know.
You've told me.
>> Sally: Yeah, then you should
take all that seriously.
Because, you know,
I'm not always to be trusted.
And I can be conniving.
You know, I'm a creative thinker
driven by emotion
to epic extremes.
>> Adam: Well, you should know,
if I was on one of these
dating apps,
that would be exactly
what I'm looking for.
>> Sally: Hmm. Well, then we
would be matched in a heartbeat.
Either that or both of us
would be blocked for being
too much of a risk.
>> Adam: Hm.
>> Sally: Yeah. Anything's
possible when the two of us
are involved.
>> Adam: I wish I hadn't met you
years ago.
>> Sally: Me too.
>> Daniel: It's, uh, really
great to see you. I mean,
you look fantastic.
You were gone for way too long.
>> Lily: Yeah, thanks
for the compliment.
But what is going on?
I mean, it was very, very
awkward when I walked in here.
And I feel like Heather was
giving me some look like
she was caught or something.
>> Heather: Again,
welcome home, Lily.
>> Lucy: I'll see you later,
Dad. It was good to see you.
>> Lily: Yeah.
So sorry, what--
what did I interrupt?
Because I feel like I walked in
on some warm, fuzzy
family moment.
>> Daniel: Just the three of us
were just having breakfast,
and you weren't
interrupting anything.
But we do need to talk.
>> Lily: Yeah, seems
like clearly we do.
>> Daniel: Can I get you
a water or a coffee?
>> Lily: Can you just tell me
what's going on?
You and Heather got
back together while I was gone,
didn't you?
>> Daniel: Yes, it happened,
but not intentionally.
[ Lily sighs ]
>> Lily: And by "it,"
I'm assuming that you two
slept together.
>> Daniel: We did.
[ Lily sighs ]
>> Lily: That's all
you're going to say?
You're going to make me
drag it out of you?
>> Daniel: The pull was there.
It-- it was just too strong.
>> Lily: Oh, yeah,
I can imagine.
Especially with me gone
so long, right?
I mean, way too long,
that's what you said, right?
>> Daniel: Heather and I finally
had to admit that we wanted
to get our family back together.
That we wanted to try
and get back what we lost.
>> Lily: Right, and I was
out of sight, out of mind.
>> Daniel: No, no, it wasn't
like that. That had nothing
to do with what happened between
the two of us. It wasn't like
that at all.
>> Lily: I'm sorry,
what was it like?
Because I mean, you were
calling me, and texting me
and checking on me,
and you didn't say anything.
As if nothing had changed.
>> Daniel: And I'm sorry
about that.
Look, I wanted to tell you
as soon as it happened,
but I didn't want to pile
anything else on top of what
you were already dealing with
and I didn't want to take your
attention away from Mattie.
I didn't want to do it
long distance over a phone.
That's for damn sure.
>> Lily: Oh, yeah.
>> Daniel: I wanted to do it
face to face with you, I figured
I at least owed you that.
>> Lily: Well, thank you.
That's so considerate of you.
[ Lily laughs ]
Oh, my God.
How long has this been
going on for?
Like, the whole time?
Or since I left?
I mean, is Heather here
every night making you and Lucy
breakfast in the morning?
>> Daniel: No, it was one time
a few weeks ago.
Once. That's it.
But after it happened,
we realized that it wasn't
just a mistake that we were
both going to regret, and...
it felt right, it-- it felt
like we had found our way home.
[ Lily sighs ]
>> Lily: You know, there's
a happy medium between me
dragging it out of you and TMI.
[ Daniel sighs ]
God.
I guess, I should appreciate you
being honest with me, but...
oh, my God.
This really hurts.
>> Daniel: Lily, you have
to believe me when I say
that that is the last thing
that I ever wanted to do.
>> Lily: Yeah.
That's exactly what people say
right after they hurt you
the most.
>> Victoria: Thank you, Michael.
But you can stop.
>> Michael: Stop what?
Annoying you?
>> Victoria: Yeah, that.
I know you're just trying
to distract me from worrying
about Dad. Actually, it worked.
You took my mind off it.
At least for the last
few minutes.
>> Cole: Okay, so Claire made
sandwiches, and I managed
to talk her into getting
some rest, too.
She and Nikki were up
most of the night.
>> Victoria: You know, it's just
so strange.
It's also kind of comforting
to know that my daughter
and my mother were able to
keep each other company.
At least through
the worst of this.
Ah, God, they must be
so exhausted from the anxiety
of waiting for word.
>> Michael: No, it's not Claire
I'm worried about, it's Nikki.
The last thing she needs
is all of this stress.
Victor's not going to be
pleased if it turns out to be
too much for her.
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: This is the part
that I hate the most.
The waiting.
And the worrying, it's grueling.
>> Sally: It's the results
of a brilliant mind.
Coming up
with too many scenarios.
But, you know, worrying
never changes the outcome.
So, let's talk
about something else.
Let's talk about you,
since we mostly talked
about me before.
And I know talking about you
always cheers you up.
[ Adam chuckles ]
>> Adam: Oh, I feel
so understood.
>> Sally: We could talk about
what an amazing dad you are.
And how you're working to be
an even better son.
>> Adam: You are too good to me,
you know that?
And you're too good for me.
>> Sally: Don't you dare
start with that.
>> Adam: Yeah, we both know
it's true, I don't need
to say it, okay?
But I don't want this to be
a one-way street.
You need some TLC too.
>> Sally: Hey, you opening up
to me is more than enough
for me right now.
>> Adam: No, well,
not for me, okay?
Well, hopefully once things
stabilize with Victor,
I can make good on the pitch
to get your company under
the Newman umbrella, that is,
if you're still interested
in coming on board with that.
>> Sally: Seriously, that is
the last thing you should be
worrying about right now, okay?
We will figure all that out
when the time is right.
But right now, I want you
to go back to the ranch
and be with your family.
And then, go be with your son.
>> Adam: I love you.
>> Sally: I love you.
[ Sally scoffs ]
>> Nate: Hey, man.
>> Chance: Hey.
>> Nate: How's it going?
>> Chance: Oh, good.
>> Nate: Good? Come, sit down.
>> Chance: I appreciate you.
Yeah, just, uh, stopping by
to get some fuel.
Had to get out of the office.
>> Nate: Oh, yeah? What's--
what's going on at the office?
>> Chance: Just another tense
meeting between Devon and Billy,
you know.
>> Nate: Ah, sounds like Devon's
up to his usual.
Working like hell to make it
seem like Billy isn't
getting to him.
>> Chance: He's trying, but you
can tell he's getting
a little fed up.
>> Nate: And meanwhile, Billy
stays true to his nature,
and keeps on pushing.
Which only annoys Devon
even more.
>> Chance: You know, I got
a feeling the two of us are
a lot alike. Neither of us want
any part of that conflict.
Am I reading that correctly?
>> Devon: Well, do you think
Chance's take on this situation
was a result of your
crackerjack mentoring?
>> Billy: Oh, I don't think
Chance was entirely wrong.
He did make one good point.
>> Devon: I agree, and he gave
some good advice, too,
that you should take,
and chill out.
>> Billy: I was referring
to the ego part and how it can
be so destructive
in the workplace.
>> Devon: Oh, I see.
And whose ego do you think
he was referring to?
Mine or yours?
>> Billy: Devon, why don't you
tell me why you don't agree
with Mamie's proposition?
Because the way I see it,
we could divide this company
into two and there'd be
no more infighting.
No more saber rattling.
Just like that.
Sure, Lily, she started
at Chancellor, but I'm sure
she'd be more than happy to go
with you over to Winters,
and take over the world there
with you in control, of course.
And look at it this way,
we wouldn't be at each other's
throat anymore.
>> Devon: That's funny,
because I wasn't even aware
that we were.
>> Lily: I knew this was
going to happen, I knew it.
It was so obvious
what Heather wanted.
She kept using Lucy as an excuse
to show up here, always finding
herself in some warm little
embrace with you.
>> Daniel: I don't think
that Heather planned
for how this turned out.
>> Lily: Of course she did.
And I'm sure she really
turned it up as soon as I left,
didn't she?
>> Daniel: That is not
what happened at all.
Look, I don't want you blaming
Heather for any of this.
This was a spontaneous,
one-time thing.
And it took us both by surprise,
but it was a consensual moment
of clarity that happened
just that once.
>> Lily: You keep talking
about the sex as if that's
the only way that you can cheat.
Every day that you knew
something that I didn't,
every time that you told Heather
that you wanted to be with her,
but you just had to wait
to break it to poor little Lily,
that is cheating.
>> Daniel: Look, anything
that I say is just going to
sound self-serving
or like an excuse.
>> Lily: I mean, you probably
wanted to be with her
the whole time, didn't you?
Like, my God, what does that
say about what we shared?
Like, was any of it even real?
>> Daniel: Yeah, of course
it was. It was to me.
As far as Heather goes, I had
given up hope a long time ago
that she was ever
going to forgive me.
It was the furthest thing
from my mind, thinking that we
were ever going to get back
together again.
>> Lily: Oh, please,
don't kid yourself.
You are not the kind of guy
that would betray me randomly.
There had to be something
significant pulling
you two together.
Have you fallen back in love
with Heather?
>> Daniel: Honestly, um...
I don't think
I ever stopped loving her.
>> Adam: Any word?
Is Dad still missing?
>> Michael: I'm afraid so,
but I'm sure we'll hear
something soon.
>> Victoria: What about Nick?
I can't imagine why
I haven't heard from him.
He hasn't returned any
of my calls, any of my messages.
Where did he say he was going?
Did he tell you?
>> Adam: No, I assumed that he
would be here by now.
He got a message on his phone,
but he didn't give me
any specifics, I thought it was
about Christian.
>> Victoria: Sounds like
a classic Jordan move.
What if she concocted
some story about Christian
being in trouble so she could
set a trap for Nicholas?
[ sighs ] What if she
has him too?
>> Lily: There it is.
You're in love.
I knew it too.
I knew that you hadn't gotten
over your feelings for Heather.
I mean, you were devastated
when you found out she was
seeing someone in Portugal.
>> Daniel: I was the one
who ruined our relationship
by being a jackass.
When she left, I knew that I
needed to get my act together.
And I moved on, Lily.
I moved on without Heather
in my life, and then she moved
back to town.
>> Lily: Yeah, just don't, okay?
I already know. I watched
the whole thing happen.
And I still thought that you
were someone I could
have faith in.
[ sighs ] Oh, my gosh.
This is not how I pictured
my homecoming.
>> Daniel: I'm sorry.
I am truly sorry
and I know that that probably
sounds pointless.
>> Lily: Yeah, it really does.
>> Daniel: You want-- You want
to yell, you want to hit me,
go ahead, I deserve it.
I-- I expect it, I mean,
that's why I wanted to do this
face-to-face, so you could
tell me exactly how you feel.
>> Lily: I'm not going to yell.
[ sniffles ] Or attack you.
And why would I, right?
Because I am so reasonable,
aren't I?
>> Daniel: You don't have to be.
If you want to let it out,
let it out.
>> Lily: I have to
get out of here.
>> Daniel: Should I have
told you right away?
With everything else that you
were dealing with in California,
should I have told you
right away, because I struggled
with that, you know?
>> Lily: Are you
kidding right now?
You want me to feel better
about your timing of telling me?
Yeah, sure, Daniel, you know
what, I-- Yeah, I'm-- I'm so
happy that you didn't,
because you know what?
Mattie needed
all of my attention.
>> Daniel: Yeah, Devon thought
that might be the case, too.
>> Lily: I'm sorry, my--
my brother knew about you two?
For how long?
Like, from the beginning?
>> Billy: I really do appreciate
your calm demeanor,
but I suspect this is exactly
what it looks like when you're
at someone else's throat.
Mine in particular, because
you're not that subtle.
You don't trust me.
And you resent the fact
that I'm here.
>> Devon: I think "resent"
is a little strong.
>> Billy: Okay, look, we can
pretend to play nice.
Pretend to find some sort of
work balance, but we won't.
We're two powder kegs ready
to blow, I can admit that,
even if you won't.
But we don't have to
let it get that far.
We don't have to let it explode.
We can fix this right now.
One agreement with a few
signatures, and that's it.
It's a done deal.
>> Devon: Hm, you see,
the problem with that, Billy,
is your mother won't
let that happen.
>> Nate: Hey, look, I'm not
taking sides here. All I want is
to work peacefully
and productively.
>> Chance: Exactly, I mean,
I'm right there with you, man.
I-- I figure there's got to be
some safe space between
these two, no?
>> Nate: Sounds like maybe
your mentor isn't being
as supportive as he once was.
Does this mean you're
officially off team Billy?
>> Chance: From the day I
started, I've been on one team
and that's Chancellor-Winters,
okay? I get the sense you're
on the same team.
>> Nate: You could say that.
>> Chance: So, I think it's time
for us to step up
and be the adults in the room.
Because I have a feeling if we
leave it up to those two,
this whole thing could
go off the rails.
>> Michael: You are letting your
imagination run away with you.
We have no evidence whatsoever
that Jordan has taken Nick too.
>> Cole: You know what,
Michael's right. Nick probably
got caught up in some sort of
problem with his son.
Having nothing to do with this
whole Jordan mess.
>> Adam: We should call
Christian's school and find out
what is really going on.
You know, if there was a crisis
that pulled Nick away,
then we'll know for sure.
But if not, we'll have reason
to suspect that there's a much
bigger problem.
>> Victoria: Yes, I think
that Adam's right.
I think that's a call we need
to make because I need to know
whether or not I should be
worried about my father
and my brother. Please, God,
I hope they're okay.
>> Victor: Don't worry much,
sweetheart, we are.
>> Victoria: Oh, God.
We were so terrified.
>> Nick: It played out exactly
the way Dad thought it would.
He had all the bases covered.
>> Victor: I really am sorry
we had to do it this way, okay?
But in order for the plan
to work, there was no other way.
>> Adam: So Nick was in
on the plan all along?
>> Michael: How did that happen?
>> Victor: Well, we have reason
to believe this is all over now.
This nightmare is finished.
[ door banging ]
[ Jordan grunting, panting ]
[ door rattling ]
>> Jordan: Oh, God.
[ Jordan panting ]
Oh!
Damn you, Victor Newman!
[ Jordan panting ]
