>> Adam: Okay, well,
I have a better idea.
How about you tell us
what's going on?
There's probably a lot going on
in your head right now, and it
can be stressful, but your mom
and I, we're ready to listen.
So whatever you wanna say.
>> Connor: I hate this.
I hate the doctor.
I hate being here.
I hate myself.
>> Chelsea: Connor,
don't say that.
It hurts my heart to hear you
talk that way about yourself.
Don't you know you are the most
lovable boy on this earth?
>> Adam: To Mom and to me.
You're upset
and we totally understand,
but you don't mean
what you said, right?
That you hate yourself?
We say things sometimes
when we're angry
and we're frustrated.
Connor, believe me.
I know how you feel.
There have been a lot of times
in my life where I'm angry and
I'm frustrated because things
aren't the way that I want them
to be, and there's nothing
that I can do about it.
Everything is just out
of my control.
But things got better for me,
and they're gonna get
better for you, too.
Look, I understand why you
don't wanna be here.
It feels weird coming to
a stranger for help about this
thing that we just learned about
just a little while ago.
But this is gonna help you.
It's gonna help all of us,
and we're gonna get
through it together.
Your mom and I,
we're gonna do anything,
and we're gonna do everything to
give you the best life.
>> Billy: Yeah, no,
the numbers just came in.
I'll take a look at them as soon
as I get back to the office.
Okay, great.
Um, I, uh...
Yeah. Yeah, no, that works.
Um, listen, I'm gonna take
off here soon, so I'll let
you know if I have any questions
or updates, all right?
Okay, thanks.
Ashley.
Hi.
>> Ashley: Hey, bro. What's up?
>> Billy: Hey, sis.
Everything okay?
♪♪
>> Victor: Well, Jordan thought
she had me right where
she wanted me.
Overconfident as always.
>> Nikki: But you turned
the tables on her.
>> Victor: Yeah, but to be
honest with you, I couldn't have
done it without Nicholas.
His help was invaluable.
You should've seen the look of
horror on that woman's face when
she realized she had been had.
I love it.
>> Nikki: I'm just so glad this
is over and nobody was hurt.
I mean,
when I think of the risk
you took,
you realize this could have
turned out very differently.
>> Victor: I'm protecting
my family. Obviously I'm gonna
take a risk.
No big deal.
Worked out. Here I am.
And she can no longer hurt us.
>> Nikki: And I am so grateful
for that. She is the devil,
and now she is suffering in
a hell of her own making.
Couldn't happen to
a more deserving person.
>> Victoria: It's been very
exciting for Claire to meet
her relatives.
>> Summer: That's amazing.
I can't believe that Grandpa
and Granddad haven't at least
had a family dinner yet.
>> Victoria: Uh, well,
things have been
a little hectic.
>> Kyle: That's to be expected
when you get your own
personal miracle.
>> Victoria: I'm just grateful
for every minute that I get to
spend with my daughter.
>> Summer: Well, I've been
so looking forward to
meeting you, but I got to admit,
I feel kind of out of the loop.
I mean, I have no idea how
all of this happened.
>> Victoria: It's complicated.
>> Claire: Yeah.
>> Victoria: Well, we've been
waiting to share the details
for when we were ready.
Years ago, after Cole and I...
Well, we thought we lost
our daughter after she was born,
but as it turns out,
we were deceived by
someone intentionally.
And Claire was alive
all of these years.
>> Summer: And you had no idea
that someone...
>> Victoria: No, none.
If we had known that things were
not as they seemed, we would've
never stopped looking for her.
But lucky for us, Claire was
determined to find her parents,
and after years of looking
and research, she found us.
So, we did a DNA test, and
needless to say, it was a match.
I mean, it's taken a little
while for us to acclimate to all
of this, but now we get to
move forward as a family.
>> Kyle: So, the person who
did this is still--
>> Victoria: That person does
not deserve any more
of our attention.
>> Kyle: Fair enough.
The story I recently read
said you were released
from the hospital.
You're okay, aren't you?
>> Claire: Yeah, I'm fine now,
thank you. Um,
it's just been a lot to process.
Your family has been so--
>> Victoria: Our family.
>> Claire: Our family has been
so supportive.
>> Summer: Wow.
I mean, this is just so
incredible, and I'm really happy
for you both, but why
do I get the feeling that
there's more to the story
that you aren't telling us?
>> Victoria: Well, there are
some specifics that we should
probably save for another time.
>> Harrison: Why'd everybody
stop talking?
>> Claire: Hey, Harrison,
how many marshmallows
do you have?
>> Harrison: One, two,
three, four. I have four.
>> Claire: You got four?
I only got two. That's not fair.
I love marshmallows.
Hey, I got cheated.
What's up with that?
>> Nikki: I can only imagine
how desperate
and frightened Jordan must feel.
Locked up in a room, cut off
from the rest of the world.
>> Victor: You got that right.
>> Nikki: What am I saying?
I don't have to imagine it.
I know exactly how she feels.
I lived it, thanks to her.
And now she's living it,
thanks to you.
>> Victor: You know...
it's absolutely amazing
how sick that woman is.
She has no--
no problem imprisoning
and torturing people that
she considers enemies.
>> Nikki: I can only hope
that she is feeling every bit
of the terror that I did
when I was her prisoner.
>> Victor: This is
poetic justice,
considering what that woman
has done to our family,
and especially to you.
>> Nikki: Prison is
too good for her.
>> Victor: Much too good.
>> Nikki: Well,
that is still your plan, right?
>> Victor: Oh, yeah.
She's gonna pay for what
she's done.
She's really gonna pay for it.
>> Nikki: Well, I certainly
hope so.
But before the authorities
arrest her, I need to see her.
>> Victor: That's ridiculous.
>> Nikki: I want to confront her
for the last time, face to face.
>> Chelsea: Hey, Connor,
I pulled up
some highlights from that soccer
match we were talking about.
You wanna see?
He was like this since
before we got here.
Quiet, nervous.
I did everything I could
to calm him down, tell him
everything was gonna be okay,
that these sessions with
Dr. Alcott will help him
learn to control things.
But he doesn't wanna listen to
anything I have to say.
>> Connor: I can hear you,
you know.
>> Adam: Yeah, well,
that's fine.
We're not trying to hide
anything from you.
All we're trying to do
is to help figure out
what's going on with you.
>> Connor: Why don't you ask me?
I can tell you.
We just get out of here.
That would help.
Can we please just do that?
Can we go now?
>> Chelsea: Connor, I'm sorry,
but this is too important.
I thought you felt safe here.
That's what you told Billy
last time. I mean,
that's a good thing, isn't it?
>> Connor: All she's gonna do
is talk.
She'll ask me more questions,
but it's not like it'll help.
>> Chelsea: It might feel like
that right now,
but these things just take time.
>> Connor: How much time?
Because all I know
is that I hate this.
>> Adam: I mean, he has a point.
I mean, maybe we should
listen to our son.
Would it be that horrible if
we canceled today's session?
I mean, if he's not in the mood
to talk to anybody, we're gonna
be wasting everyone's time.
>> Chelsea: Adam, no.
>> Adam: Look,
the kid deserves to feel like he
has some control over his life.
I mean, we could go see
a movie or something, and we can
pick this up tomorrow.
>> Chelsea: What kind of
precedent would that set?
No. Adam, Connor needs this.
We all do. Right now, not later,
not when he feels like it,
not when you feel like it.
>> Adam: Okay, this isn't
about me.
>> Chelsea: That's
exactly right.
This isn't about you.
>> Alcott: Chelsea,
Adam, Connor, good to see you.
We ready?
>> Connor: Mom, Dad, please.
Please.
>> Chelsea: Connor, I'm sorry,
but this is too important, okay?
We're here.
The doctor is ready to see us.
It's all part of the plan,
so we can help you get better,
even if it doesn't feel like
it right this second.
>> Adam: I'm with Mom on this.
We can go see a movie after,
okay?
>> Connor: Okay.
>> Adam: And I will be joining
the session today
because I think this situation
needs both parents there.
>> Ashley: Everything's good.
Why wouldn't it be?
>> Billy: I mean, I don't know.
You've hit a few rough
spots lately.
I'm your brother.
I'm concerned about you.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
No.
That's sweet, but, you know,
I have everything under control.
>> Billy: Okay.
So, does that mean Tucker is
fully and completely
out of your system?
>> Ashley: He's such a jerk,
isn't he?
I'm so totally over him.
So is...
Everything good. It's all good.
It's all-- it's all good.
>> Billy: No, please, finish.
You were gonna finish
that sentence.
And so is who?
>> Ashley: I'm saying that
I am over Tucker.
I mean, he's gross, isn't he?
So the family's over him,
and you're over Tucker, right?
I mean, because if you're not,
you should be, right?
I mean, good riddance.
>> Billy: Yeah, no,
I'm-- I'm over Tucker.
The family's been over
Tucker for a very long time.
He's nothing but trouble
and lies.
But I know that it's
been a little bit more
challenging for you to move on.
Maybe you...
Maybe you have a handle
on that now.
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
It wasn't easy. I did it.
I did it.
>> Billy: Ash, what's going on?
You...
You don't really sound
like yourself.
>> Alcott: So, how are you
feeling today, Connor?
>> Connor: Fine.
>> Alcott: How do you feel about
what we talked about last time,
getting a name for what
you're going through?
Does it help you understand
what's happening?
>> Connor: I don't wanna talk
about it.
I don't even wanna be here.
>> Chelsea: Connor, why don't
you tell Dr. Alcott what you
said in the waiting room?
>> Adam: Yeah, Connor, you can
talk to the doctor about
your feelings.
>> Connor: What's the point?
>> Adam: Because the doctor
knows things that we don't about
how to deal with the emotions,
like what you
were saying about yourself.
>> Chelsea: And that you wanted
to leave instead of have
your session?
Don't worry.
I'm sure she won't be offended.
Connor,
we all know that this is hard.
Can you just stop doing that for
a second and focus on
the conversation, please?
>> Connor: You just don't
get it, do you?
None of you understand.
>> Alcott: Chelsea, let me
caution you not to look at
Connor's preoccupation with his
hoodie strings as something that
he's doing, but something that
manifests because of the OCD.
It's important that we view
OCD as a separate entity.
That will help us work out
the tools that Connor
needs to deal with it.
>> Adam: Oh, okay.
Well, finally, something
practical that we can do.
What are these tools that
you're talking about?
I mean, please, tell us
what we can do to help
Connor beat this thing.
>> Victor: I think it's
a horrible idea that you want
to go see her and confront her.
>> Nikki: I don't wanna wait
for Jordan to be in a courtroom
or some prison waiting room.
I wanna confront her in a place
where I know she will be
feeling completely vulnerable
and at my mercy, just exactly
like what she did to me.
>> Victor: Well, why don't you
just let her,
you know, suffer the fate
that obviously has befallen her?
>> Nikki: Victor, she's caught.
She's locked up.
She can't do anything
to hurt me now.
>> Victor: What's the purpose
of this? What do you wanna do?
>> Nikki: Don't worry.
I'm not going to strangle her,
as tempting as that might be.
>> Victor: Sweetheart, there's
some other concerns I have.
>> Nikki: What are they?
>> Victor: I do not want this
to be a trigger for you to
start drinking again.
>> Nikki: Oh, darling, no,
don't you see?
This could give me
the strength to stay sober.
This is my opportunity
to reclaim my power.
I mean, this is the moment that
I can start to move on and put
this nightmare behind me.
I need to do it.
>> Summer: Claire, this must be
so shocking and new for you.
>> Kyle: It's quite the family
to suddenly fall into.
>> Summer: She couldn't have
fallen into a more loyal
and loving family.
>> Claire: Yeah, everyone's
so brilliant and strong and
so loving. My new family
has been more amazing than
I ever could've dreamed.
>> Victoria: I can't tell you
how happy it makes me feel
to hear you say that.
>> Kyle: So tell me, what are
your plans? Are you gonna stick
around Genoa City and
get to know everyone?
>> Summer: Oh, I hope so.
We've got a lifetime
of catching up to do.
>> Kyle: Perhaps you'll go back
to work as Nikki's assistant
or maybe another job
at Newman Enterprises.
>> Summer: All Newmans are
required to return there
at least a few times
in their career.
It's kind of like a home base.
>> Victoria: Generally,
that's true,
but it's totally up to Claire.
Whatever you want.
No pressure, of course.
>> Claire: Uh, yeah.
I'm still figuring
everything out.
I had a really good conversation
with Nikki earlier.
She knows how much I would
love to work with children.
I find their inquisitive
minds fascinating.
So, maybe I'll try to find
something in that field.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Victoria: It's Dad.
He wants me to come
back to the ranch.
>> Claire: Is everything okay?
>> Victoria: I think we should
go now. Just in case.
>> Alcott: I understand you're
anxious to help your son,
but it's important for you
to know that we need
to set expectations here.
It's very important that
you know that there
is no miracle cure,
so we won't be speaking in
terms of beating this.
>> Adam: So, you're saying that
nothing can be done for Connor?
What are we even doing here,
then, if that is the case?
>> Alcott: What we do is treat
the disorder.
We bring all the symptoms under
control so they're manageable.
>> Chelsea: Okay. Okay,
well, that's good.
That sounds less stressful,
less painful.
So, um, what are things that
we can do to help him?
>> Alcott: Well, one of the most
successful forms of treatment is
residential therapy.
>> Adam: Okay, and what is that?
>> Chelsea: How does that work?
>> Alcott: Connor is introduced
to a safe, nurturing, controlled
environment for therapy and ERP.
>> Chelsea: ERP?
>> Alcott: Yes, exposure and
response prevention.
The exposure part refers
to Connor practicing confronting
the images, the thoughts,
the objects, and the situations
that make him anxious and
or trigger his obsessions.
Facing it head on instead
of hiding from it or
pretending it doesn't exist.
>> Chelsea: In other words,
if you identify and recognize
the cause of the behavior,
you can begin to fix it?
>> Alcott: That's right.
That's the response
prevention part of ERP.
Once you've trained yourself
to identify the triggering
events when they happen,
then you can learn the ways not
to do the compulsive behavior.
Of course, this is done under
the guidance of a therapist in
the beginning, but soon, you
and Connor will learn to do your
own ERP exercises to
manage the symptoms.
And in time, the treatment
retrains the brain so the object
of the obsession isn't a threat.
>> Adam: Okay, so you're saying
that we intentionally
expose him to the things
that make him anxious?
>> Alcott: I know.
This may sound counterintuitive,
but you'll be working with
a trained ERP doctor and you'll
devise a plan for the exposure.
Then that therapist will
coach Connor through
the confrontation, helping him
to find ways to resist the urge
to do the compulsive behavior.
>> Chelsea: Okay.
Um, well, that makes sense.
>> Adam: And this works?
>> Alcott: It has been proven to
be successful and very
effective for patients
with OCD like Connor.
And it's done in the same type
of school that he's already in.
>> Connor: Except that it's not
a school, is it?
It's a hospital for sick people.
>> Ashley: I don't know.
I don't sound like myself?
Then...
Then, who do I sound like?
>> Billy: I don't know.
I don't know what's going on,
but you don't really sound like
yourself, especially the way
you're talking about Tucker.
>> Ashley: Wait.
So...
I'm not
supposed to feel my feelings?
Because I am my own person.
>> Billy: I get that.
You always have been, and
I don't expect that to change.
But look...
Ash, breakups are hard.
I get that, okay?
And this one in particular
was pretty rough on you, but you
don't have to cover up for me.
>> Ashley: I'm okay. I told you
that, all right? I'm okay.
>> Billy: Just like that?
>> Ashley: Yes.
>> Billy: All of a sudden,
you're fine.
Okay, well, you've never called
me bro in your entire life,
okay? That's never come out
of your mouth. Bro.
>> Ashley: I was trying
to be cool.
Oh, epic fail.
That was a grand miscalculation
I just made.
[ phone chiming ]
>> Billy: I gotta take off.
I have a board meeting at
Chancellor-Winters.
You know how those go.
>> Ashley: Yeah.
Absolutely. Good luck with that.
>> Billy: I'm actually gonna
need that.
I don't know if Abby's filled
you in, but things are pretty
tense over there right now.
Devon and I are not
seeing eye to eye,
and I'm a little nervous that
things are only gonna get worse.
>> Ashley: Yes.
Corporate infighting.
It's very bad for everything
that happens in the corporation,
and, I mean, if you want my
humble advice, I would say that
you should just, you know,
stay out of that boxing ring
because it's better to be
peaceful about all that,
and-- and it's more-- It's, uh,
beneficial for everybody.
>> Billy: Ashley.
>> Ashley: I think it's better.
>> Billy: Are you okay?
>> Ashley: Yes, I'm okay.
Why do you keep asking me that?
You don't have to worry about
me. Could you please not
worry about me anymore?
>> Billy: Yeah.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Billy: I can try.
>> Ashley: Okay.
>> Billy: All right.
I'll see you soon.
>> Ashley: Okay.
Hey, sir?
Could-- could I please get
a ginger ale?
With a cherry.
Thank you.
Boy that was a close one.
>> Ashley: Thank you.
Ash?
Ash!
No. Shut up. No, no, no.
No. No.
I'm not going back in.
Your plan is too dangerous.
I'm gonna protect her.
I can do it.
>> Summer: Oh.
>> Kyle: That was fun,
wasn't it?
New book, some hot chocolate.
>> Harrison: Claire's funny too.
>> Kyle: Oh, she is, isn't she?
I think she thinks
you're funny, too.
>> Harrison: We're friends now,
so when can I see her again?
>> Kyle: Oh.
>> Summer: I really liked Claire
too, but I don't know just
when we'll see her again.
It seems like she's really busy
with other things right now.
>> Victoria: Mom? Dad?
Is something wrong?
Why did you text me
to come right over?
>> Nikki: What?
You had Victoria drop
whatever she was doing just
to come to the ranch?
>> Victoria: Yes.
>> Nikki: Oh, you think that
she's going to talk me
out of this, right?
>> Victoria: Talk you
out of what?
>> Victor: Your mother
is proposing
that I stand back while she goes
and confronts Jordan.
Now, kindly tell her that
this is a very bad idea.
She will not get
the satisfaction
that she's looking for.
>> Nikki: I need to find that
out for myself.
>> Victor: It's only gonna
exacerbate things. It's gonna
make things worse for her.
>> Nikki: Victor, you know that
I am made of tougher stuff
than that.
I need to confront Jordan face
to face to let her know that she
hasn't and never will
destroy me or my family.
It's the only way I know
how to regain my power.
>> Victor: Can't you tell your
mother it's a bad idea?
>> Victoria: Actually, Dad,
I agree with Mom.
>> Victor: You what?
>> Victoria: I see her point and
I completely support her plan.
>> Claire: I know I don't have
a vote, for good reason,
but I support Nikki too.
Only, I don't think it
should be one-on-one.
>> Victor: What do you mean
by that?
>> Claire: I'd like to be
a part of it.
I wanna go with you
to confront Jordan.
>> Victoria: So do I.
>> Victor: The three
of you concur.
I don't give a damn.
It's a lousy idea.
>> Nikki: It's not
your call to make.
>> Victor: Yes it is.
You don't even know
where she is.
You have no idea where to go
to find her, do you?
So, end of story.
>> Victoria: Dad, you need
to listen to Mom.
You need to really hear
what she's saying.
>> Nikki: Victor,
I understand your concerns.
That after everything that
Jordan did to me, she deserves
to hear from me directly.
>> Victoria: She deserves
to hear from all of us, Dad.
>> Claire: And we deserve
to be heard.
>> Nikki: It just has to happen.
I mean, we need to let her know
that everything she tried
to do to us, she failed.
She lost.
>> Victoria: Daddy,
the three of us,
we can keep each other safe.
But we need a chance to be able
to look into Jordan's eyes and
let her know that we're in
control and that she
will never have control
over anyone ever again.
>> Nikki: That's right.
She's had her fun. It's over.
>> Victoria: She stole
my daughter from me.
She poisoned our whole family!
She burned down my house, Dad.
I want to see her suffer
for these atrocities.
>> Nikki: This needs to happen.
We need it for closure.
>> Alcott: Connor,
we don't think of it that way.
It's less like a hospital
and more like a retreat.
It's a place of healing where
people go to find the peace they
need to focus and revitalize.
>> Connor: So it's like
a hospital for sick people,
only farther away?
>> Alcott: No, and no.
There are several excellent
locations across the country,
and like I said, think of it
like a vacation retreat.
The people are nice, and there
are others there going through
what you're going through.
>> Chelsea: It sounds
pretty great.
>> Alcott: It is.
And the school here is
completely on board.
They'll make arrangements
for you to keep up with your
studies so you don't get behind.
>> Connor: What about
the soccer team? Does this
retreat of yours have that?
>> Alcott: No, but there
are activities,
arts, music, and a gym,
especially at one place
that I'm thinking of.
And your coach has promised to
keep your spot on the team
open for when you return.
>> Chelsea: What do you think,
Connor? It sounds like
a good plan, doesn't it?
>> Connor: No, I don't wanna go.
>> Adam: Look, Connor.
Look, we-- we don't need
to decide any of this right now,
right?
>> Alcott: No, of course not.
>> Adam: Okay, good.
Then, we will have time to
think about it, and we can weigh
the pros and cons, and we can
come to a decision as a family.
>> Alcott: Absolutely.
Take your time, discuss it,
and let me know what you decide.
>> Chelsea: Connor,
are you okay?
>> Connor: No. I don't wanna go
to some treatment place.
It's like admitting
I'm crazy or something.
>> Chelsea: Hey, hey.
You are not crazy, okay?
Hey, you heard what
Dr. Alcott said in there.
There's you.
Wonderful, clever, sporty you.
And then there's the OCD,
which is separate from you,
and we just have to learn how to
treat it and manage it.
>> Adam: Yes, that's right.
Okay? You did nothing wrong.
And you're not crazy.
This is just something that
happened, and even though we
don't know why, it doesn't mean
that we can't deal with this.
>> Chelsea: Sweetie,
what you have is an illness.
But you remember last year,
I went somewhere to get
extra help, and listen,
your place sounds like
a lot more fun, right?
Yeah, it's just--
it's just how we get
the OCD behaviors and thoughts
to-- to back off
and leave you alone.
Isn't that a good thing?
>> Connor: Can I go back to
my room at school now?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, sweetie,
of course. Of course you can.
Adam, do you mind
taking him back?
I'm just gonna ask the doctor
a couple more questions.
>> Adam: All right, Connor,
come on.
We'll grab a bite on the way?
Probably hungry, right?
All right, come on.
We'll get you something.
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
Excuse me, Dr. Alcott?
>> Alcott: Yes, Chelsea,
come in.
I know how difficult this is for
a family to go through.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, it's--
it's been tough and-- and we're
all struggling in our own way.
>> Alcott: Something like this
affects the whole family.
We can discuss Connor's case
further if you like. I'm happy
to answer any questions.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, that-- that
would be great actually,
because I have--
I have a lot of them.
>> Alcott: I can see Connor's
having a hard time accepting
and understanding his diagnosis.
Feel free to ask me anything.
I'm here to help all
of you through this.
>> Chelsea: Thank you. Um,
I appreciate that. Um...
because I think if it's okay,
I wanna talk about myself.
Um, because I'm not sure
I'm gonna be able to deal
with this.
>> Kyle: Okay, I've got an idea.
Why don't you go upstairs and
pull up a game you want all
three of us to play? Mom and I
will be up in a minute, and then
maybe you and I can team up
against her again. Cool?
>> Harrison: I bet me and Claire
can beat both of you.
[ Kyle laughing ]
>> Kyle: Okay, get up there.
We'll be up in a minute.
Well, that's a relief.
Seeing him actually smile again.
He's been so surly with
the nannies we interviewed.
>> Summer: Yeah, well,
he misses Linda.
It's nice that he was
cheerful with Claire.
>> Kyle: Yeah, he was.
It's kind of a coincidence she's
interested in working with kids.
>> Summer: Well, she knows how
to speak to them on their level.
She didn't talk over
his head or baby him.
>> Kyle: And she's got jokes.
He meant it when
he said he wanted to hang
out with her again.
>> Summer: And that's really
sweet, but it sounds like she
has to build her life up
from scratch, so.
>> Kyle: Well, she needs a job.
>> Summer: Victoria's gonna make
sure she has plenty of options.
>> Kyle: Or maybe we could
consider her as a potential
babysitter for Harrison.
>> Summer: Do you really think
that Claire is a good idea?
>> Kyle: She's the first person
he's smiled at since Linda left.
Maybe we can consider her
temporarily or at least until
she figures out what she wants
to do and we can find someone on
a more permanent basis.
>> Summer: I don't know. I mean,
what do we even know about her?
Yes, she is Victoria's daughter,
but Victoria just met her.
And yes, she was my grandma's
assistant, but I highly doubt
she has any experience
with children or formal
training or references.
>> Kyle: Okay, Victoria may not
have known her long,
but those two have bonded.
I mean, complete acceptance.
That says something, doesn't it?
And she was hired at Newman,
working directly under Nikki.
Her background may not be
in child care, but her
resume's got to be solid.
>> Summer: True.
>> Kyle: Okay, so we get
a reference from her about
Claire and, you know,
go from there.
>> Summer: Okay.
Yeah, yeah, I'll talk to
my grandma about it.
But trusting somebody
in an office,
it's a lot different than
trusting somebody with your kid.
You know, being a great
assistant, that's one thing,
but taking care of a little boy,
it's a whole different ballgame.
Literally.
Our son can run a person ragged.
>> Kyle: That's a good point.
But checking in with Nikki's
a good place to start.
I get the feeling that there's
more to Claire's story than
Victoria and she were willing to
share in front of Harrison.
>> Summer: That's true.
I got that sense as well.
I mean, if it's something
that you can't talk about
in front of a kid,
then it's got to be messy.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
>> Summer: What if it's so bad
that they're not willing to
talk about it at all?
>> Nikki: Victor, you really
have nothing to worry about.
>> Victoria: The three of us
will protect each other, Dad.
>> Nikki: We can handle her.
You just need to trust us, okay?
>> Victor: All right.
>> Nikki: Wonderful.
Now all we need is for you to
give us the address.
>> Victor: Oh, wait a minute.
I haven't agreed completely yet.
>> Nikki: Well, what more is
there to agree to?
>> Victor: You need someone
with you.
>> Nikki: But it can't be you,
darling.
>> Victor: Why the hell not?
>> Nikki: It needs to be just
the three of us.
>> Victoria: You can assign one
of your security guards to be
with us at all times.
>> Nikki: Yes, yes.
Larry is welcome to join us.
He just can't get in our way.
That is non-negotiable.
But it's our turn to take
our lives back for good.
[ Victor sighing ]
>> Ashley: You know you can't
do this yourself.
That's not who you are
or what you do.
This is my department.
You need me.
You know you do.
More importantly,
Ashley needs me.
Sh!
No. I've got this.
