>> Billy: What do I really want
from Chancellor-Winters?
Almost sounds like
you're interviewing me
for the job, Lily.
Am I going to have to express my
biggest weaknesses here?
Let me see. I'm a perfectionist,
okay? And I often love to
bring my work home with me.
>> Lily: Billy, come on,
come on. I'm being serious.
>> Billy: I want to
do a good job.
I want to bring value
to the company
that Katherine loved, okay?
And I want to do it in a way
that earns trust for my team.
And I want to be a good example
for my kids.
>> Lily: Okay. What else?
>> Billy: That's it. That's not
enough for you?
>> Lily: I think there's more.
I mean, that's a great answer
for your Fortune 500 profile,
but this is me
you're talking to.
So what else?
>> Billy: I want to protect
my mother's position
and her legacy.
But I'm also not here just to be
a placeholder for her.
>> Lily: I'm asking
what's in it for you, Billy.
And don't lie to me, because
I will see right through it.
>> Nick: Hey, how's it going?
>> Sally: Oh, good.
How about you?
>> Nick: Hanging in there.
Have you heard from Adam?
>> Sally: Uh, we have traded
a few brief phone calls, but I--
I don't know much.
As of last night,
he and Chelsea and Connor
were in Baltimore, scheduled
for some sessions today,
coming up with a treatment plan.
>> Nick: Poor little guy.
It's got to be so scary for him.
And I cannot imagine what Adam
and Chelsea are going through.
>> Sally: Yeah, Adam was
so relieved to see how happy
Connor was to get home
to Genoa City. He thought
maybe the nightmare was over,
but it really didn't make
a bit of difference
with his OCD symptoms.
The last thing Adam wanted to do
was to send Connor away,
but he finally
had to agree with Chelsea
that the only thing that matters
is the best treatment possible.
>> Nick: He's right.
I'm glad Adam and Chelsea are
on the same page and they've
come together to do whatever
they can to get their boy
the help he needs.
>> Chelsea: Before I forget,
please thank Victor for
letting us use the Newman jet.
>> Adam: Will do.
>> Chelsea: He didn't have to
do that.
>> Adam: Well, for family,
he wouldn't have it any
other way.
If you're checking to see if
Connor called, don't bother.
The doctors said we shouldn't
expect to hear from him today.
You remember?
>> Chelsea: I know.
I just thought
if there was a problem...
>> Adam: "If there's a problem?"
[ Adam scoffs ]
If there's a problem.
♪♪
>> Billy: So you want the truth?
>> Lily: Mm-hmm.
>> Billy: Lily wants
the naked truth, huh?
>> Lily: Yep.
>> Billy: I see it, okay?
It's all become very clear.
It took me a while,
but I get it. I understand
this company better now
than I did before.
>> Lily: How so?
>> Billy: I don't know.
But I have a new perspective.
And I'm not gonna get bored
the way Devon predicted,
okay? So you can feel free
to go tell him that there's
zero chance that I'm moving on.
And you'll never guess why.
>> Lily: Oh, God, I don't like
when you say that. Why?
>> Billy: Because I see a future
where Chancellor-Winters soars
to new heights.
>> Lily: And how are you
planning to accomplish that?
>> Billy: Not me.
We. Me and you.
Side by side,
running the whole damn place.
The way it was meant to be.
>> Adam: "If there is
a problem?"
There is no "if" here, Chelsea.
There is a problem.
In case you haven't noticed,
we're in Genoa City,
and our son
is all alone in Baltimore.
Probably scared to death
and confused, surrounded
by a bunch of strangers.
>> Chelsea: Stop, Adam.
Stop it. Enough.
We're both very stressed.
We're both trying to
process this.
Don't make me the enemy.
I didn't send him
there to make him miserable.
I hate this, too.
>> Adam: I'm sorry.
Okay, you're right.
That was not helpful.
When I get home, I'll go online,
and I will set up Connor's
petty cash fund.
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Maybe he'll find something
in their commissary
he likes to eat.
Or isn't afraid to eat.
>> Adam: And don't forget to
send his lucky jersey, number 7,
in case he wants to play again.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
That was nice of them to let
us tour the sports facilities.
>> Adam: Yeah, they seemed okay.
Not what Connor hoped they'd be,
but they were-- they were okay.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, okay is better
than nothing, and it's--
At least it's warmer there
than it is here.
>> Adam: Yes, that is true.
>> Chelsea: This is me.
Um, just call me if you hear
anything, and I'll do the same.
[ car door shuts ]
>> Sally: It's such a miracle
to see you guys finally
acting like brothers.
>> Nick: Wanna hear
another miracle?
>> Sally: Please.
>> Nick: Adam actually listened
to me when I told him that
he needed to be the one
to tell Dad about Connor.
>> Sally: I am so glad
you did that.
Apparently, Victor has been
great. He even said to use
the Newman jet, which I know
you suggested, but Victor
was insistent.
>> Nick: Of course he was.
Connor's his grandson,
and the family gets
what the family needs,
as far as my dad is concerned.
I'm just sorry that
Adam couldn't convince him to
go along with his idea of
bringing your business
into Newman.
>> Sally: Don't be.
>> Nick: Why not? You and Chloe
must be disappointed.
>> Sally: We were,
until we found out the idea
might not be so dead after all.
>> Lily: Sorry, you and me?
Running Chancellor-Winters?
I know you're joking.
>> Billy: Think about it.
It's the smartest option.
[ Lily laughs ]
>> Lily: "The smartest option."
Oh, my God,
this is classic Billy Abbott.
Go big or go home.
>> Billy: Yeah. Go big
or go home. People think
that's a novel idea. It's not.
It's logical to me, okay?
We can do this.
>> Lily: You do remember that
you're not calling
the shots here, right?
>> Billy: Not yet.
>> Lily: Uh, okay.
You know what?
How about-- Let's have some fun.
Um, what happens to Devon
and Nate and Chance and--
Oh, your mother.
>> Billy: Nothing.
They're all here, okay?
I'm not gonna clean the deck.
They all have a seat at the
table. Chance, Nate, Devon.
Based on their experience
and their expertise,
with Devon getting
the biggest piece of the pie.
>> Lily: Oh, yes, of course.
At your discretion.
>> Billy: No, our discretion.
50-50 decision making.
>> Lily: Devon is not gonna go
for that. He fought very hard
to preserve the integrity
of our father's company.
>> Billy: Yeah, I understand
that. Okay, there'll be
some adjustments.
But the truth is,
Devon's passion is music.
This is his golden opportunity
to lean into that.
And he'll spend more time
on the artistic divisions.
It's a win-win.
>> Lily: He is not gonna
see it that way.
>> Billy: Once he stops
tripping over his ego,
he's gonna love it.
In fact, he'll probably
end up thanking us.
>> Lily: You are delusional.
Um, okay, what about Jill?
>> Billy: Why do you think
she put me in this position
in the first place?
>> Lily: Why?
>> Billy: Because she wants to
groom me to be her replacement.
>> Lily: Wait, she said that?
>> Billy: No, not exactly.
But she's my mother, okay?
And I know how to read her.
>> Lily: I know how to read her
too. And she's not going
anywhere anytime soon.
>> Billy: Lily, why do you think
she hired you as CEO
back when Chancellor-Winters
was Chance Comm?
Look, if it's not me as the
heir apparent, it's because
she wants us both at the helm.
She handpicked us back then,
and she handpicked us now.
You and me, we're ready to take
the reins, and that could happen
very easily.
>> Nick: So Adam still thinks
there's a chance Dad will
bring your design business
into Newman?
>> Sally: He is convinced that
Victor can be persuaded
to change his mind.
>> Nick: I'm not convinced of
that. But when it comes to my
dad, you never know
what you're going to get.
>> Sally: Yeah, I'm not
completely sold on
the idea anyway.
>> Nick: But you didn't ask Adam
to just drop it.
>> Sally: Yeah, he's just got a
lot of other things to focus on,
and all I want to do right now
is support him with that.
>> Nick: Well, I'm sure
he appreciates your support.
So what about you?
I know you love to feel like,
uh, you know, you're productive
and that you're busy.
You doing okay?
[ Sally sighs ]
>> Sally: I've just been
wondering if making the
transition to interior designer
was a mistake.
I don't know, maybe I should
have just stuck with what
I really know.
Fashion.
>> Nick: Well, you should not
sell yourself short,
Sally Spectra. You're amazing.
You have a lot of talents.
You know, you, uh,
you're obviously a
very creative thinker.
You're a hustler.
You do the work.
You've made a lot of contacts,
and you stand up for
what you believe in.
Those kind of skills
will translate into
any field you want.
And I hope you know
that I'm always here
for anything you need.
>> Sally: Nick, really, you've
done more than enough.
One way or another,
I will be okay.
>> Nick: I'm sure you will.
>> Sally: You know, come to
think of it, there is
actually one thing
that you can do for me.
>> Nick: Oh, all right. Name it.
>> Sally: Stop talking about me.
And tell me how you're doing.
>> Nick: I'm, uh,
I'm cool, you know?
Christian's doing great.
The broader Newman family
is hanging tough,
like we always do.
Work's awesome.
I have everything I need.
>> Connor: And you won't make me
go to that place.
I want to go home.
I'll be good.
I'll do everything
I'm supposed to.
Please, Dad.
Can I come home?
>> Adam: Sir, uh, there's been
a change of plans.
Uh, I'm not going to be heading
straight home, after all.
>> Lily: O-- okay,
let's just pretend, for fun,
that Jill passes the baton
and Devon steps aside, okay?
I can still think of
a million reasons
why this would never happen.
>> Billy: It's because you
always think of the practical
course of action,
which is the correct one
most of the time.
And that's a good thing,
but Lily, I'm trying
to get you to dream
just a little bit more.
Lily...
you and I are ready for this.
We're stronger.
We're smarter business people
than we were before.
We have learned a lot.
We know each other's
weaknesses, and we know
each other's strengths.
Most importantly, we know
when to call each other out
when the other one is wrong.
>> Lily: Yeah, which I'm clearly
not doing a good job of
right now.
>> Billy: Look, I get it, okay?
I understand the instinct
is to be reluctant.
And I do appreciate your loyalty
to your brother.
But Devon is a lone wolf.
He always has been,
he always will be.
He can't seem to learn how to
play well with others.
>> Lily: You're just using
that as an excuse
to move him out of the way.
>> Billy: Lily, he's holding
this company back.
He's conservative, okay?
He's not a dreamer.
Not like I am.
Not like you are. And I know
you are because you proved it
when you had the idea to bring
these two companies together.
>> Lily: Yeah, an idea
you thought was untenable
when Mamie wanted to split
Chancellor and Winters.
>> Billy: Sure, but let me
clarify that, okay?
It was only untenable
because of the current regime.
Chancellor and Winters
butting heads, that's not good.
With you and me in charge,
we can bring this company
to new heights. I know we can.
We can do it, Lily.
We can do it together.
>> Chelsea: Hey, you two.
>> Billy: Hi.
>> Lily: Hi.
>> Billy: Hey. I didn't--
I didn't know you were home.
When did you get back?
>> Chelsea: Uh, just
a little while ago.
Um, I-- I tried calling you, but
your phone went to voicemail.
I thought I could find you here.
>> Billy: Yeah, sorry, I was,
uh, I-- I turned it off.
Lily and I were just having
a spirited discussion about
the future of the company.
>> Chelsea: Oh, good.
You know what? Well, I don't
want to interrupt, so I can go.
>> Lily: Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're fine. You're fine.
Uh, we were done anyway.
>> Billy: Yeah, we were done,
but we'll, uh, we'll pick
this up later, yeah?
>> Lily: Um, Chelsea,
good to see you.
Hope your trip went well.
>> Chelsea: Thanks, Lily.
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Billy: Come here.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Nick: Thanks, man.
Lily. Hi.
>> Lily: Hi, Nick. How are you?
>> Nick: Good. Um, I didn't know
you were back from California.
How's everything? How's Mattie?
>> Lily: Um, she's good.
Thank you for asking.
>> Nick: Good for her
and for you.
Uh, I'm sure it made
all the difference
in the world knowing that
she can still lean on you.
>> Lily: Yeah, it was nice.
I mean, she's an adult,
but she wanted her mom,
so I had to be there.
>> Nick: Once a parent,
always a parent.
>> Lily: Yeah. I mean, it's nice
that they grow up, they have
their own lives, but they still
want you around, you know?
I don't take that
for granted at all.
>> Nick: I feel the same way.
>> Lily: Um, are you
meeting someone?
>> Nick: No, just, uh,
grabbing lunch by myself.
>> Lily: Well, I am too.
Should we have lunch together?
>> Nick: Yeah, let's do it,
especially since
you're buying. Come on.
>> Lily: Oh, oh, okay, um,
that's presumptuous of you.
[ Nick laughs ]
>> Nick: I mean, you gotta
admit, as big of a pain in
the ass as the business world
could be at times,
sometimes it's unpredictable.
>> Lily: "Unpredictable."
That's a good word.
I'm sure Chancellor-Winters
has Newman beat, though,
on unpredictability,
that's for sure.
>> Nick: I wouldn't be too sure
about that.
>> Lily: Okay, try me.
>> Nick: All right.
Try this one.
Uh, right now, my dad has me
and Adam working very closely
together, like, every day,
while Victoria's taking a break.
>> Lily: Oh, okay. You and Adam
are working together?
Well, clearly it's going well.
>> Nick: Why would you
assume that?
>> Lily: Well, you know,
there's no, like, black eyes
or bandages, scratches.
>> Nick: Well, clearly you
haven't seen Adam in a while.
>> Lily: Oh, okay.
>> Nick: Not really.
It's been cool,
uh, relatively injury-free,
and honestly, neither Adam or I
want to deal with that
if we can't make this work.
>> Lily: Yeah, that would be
motivation for me as well.
>> Nick: All right, your turn.
What does Chancellor-Winters
have that can top that?
I bet nothing.
>> Lily: Uh, yep. Nothing.
[ Lily laughs ]
Uh, for now.
Time will tell. We'll see.
>> Nick: All right.
How about you and Daniel?
How's that going?
>> Lily: Um, it's not.
We broke up.
He and, uh,
Heather are back together.
>> Billy: Wasn't expecting you
home so early.
How's everything with Connor?
Did you get him all settled in?
>> Chelsea: We did. We did.
We brought his stuff
to his room, and I made his bed
the way he likes it.
But things are more complicated
than we expected.
>> Sally: Weren't you planning
to be gone for, like, a week
or so?
>> Adam: Uh-huh.
>> Sally: What happened?
Why are you back already?
>> Adam: They, um,
they made us leave.
>> Chelsea: Thank you.
[ Chelsea sighs ]
The facility is--
is very impressive.
It's bigger than I expected,
kind of like a-- a campus.
Somewhat imposing
from the outside, but as we
walked through the doors,
it felt more, um,
welcoming than I imagined.
And there were boys there
Connor's age that seemed, um,
they seemed at home there.
>> Billy: Sounds like
so far, so good, then, right?
>> Adam: Well, the residential
facility is just what
the website promised.
It's all polished, upscale.
It's inviting on the surface.
And then you look past it,
and you see it
for-- for what it really is.
It's a big, shiny package
to help sell their elite brand
of therapy for top dollar.
>> Sally: Their reputation
seems stellar.
>> Adam: Oh, come on, Sally.
You can pay for a reputation.
That's what PR is for.
>> Sally: Okay, can you
tell me why they made
you and Chelsea leave?
>> Adam: I'm not even sure
that I want to get into it.
[ Sally sighs ]
>> Sally: Yeah, I mean, if you
need time, I understand.
You're just so upset,
and I-- I can't help you...
if you don't tell me
what happened.
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: Okay.
So, Connor had his first session
with the main OCD therapist.
Chelsea and I,
we met with him briefly.
You know, he had certificates,
diplomas all over the wall,
which may as well be forgeries
for all I know.
>> Chelsea: After Connor's
initial session with
the highly educated,
highly decorated
OCD specialist,
we met with the doctors
and the family therapist,
and they briefed us
on the specialists' conclusions.
They were-- They were very
kind and-- and knowledgeable.
It was encouraging.
At first.
>> Billy: What do you mean?
"At first"? What--
what happened after that?
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Chelsea: Mm, after speaking
with the OCD specialist,
the doctors strongly
encouraged us to allow
their team to take over
for the next few weeks...
without either one of us around.
>> Billy: I don't understand.
Why would they do that?
>> Chelsea: Because, um,
according to them...
Adam and I are two of
the triggers for Connor's OCD.
>> Adam: They blamed
everything on us.
According to them,
we did this to our son.
>> Nick: I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
>> Lily: No, that's fine.
>> Nick: You know,
it's okay to be angry.
I mean, take it from someone
who has been on both
sides of the equation,
as recently
with Adam and Sally...
it can be tough.
You know, for a while
there it really stung.
>> Lily: Yeah, well, I mean,
it's your brother,
so, you know, it's like
not only do you work together,
but very awkward
family gatherings.
>> Nick: Yeah, it was real fun
in the beginning.
[ Lily laughs ]
But I'm good now.
Um, things have gotten better.
They seem happy.
Things are what they are.
And I'm moving forward.
I don't expect you
to embrace that yet,
but at least
look at it this way,
you don't have to deal with
those family gatherings.
It's like salt in the wound.
>> Sally: How can they
blame you and Chelsea
for Connor's OCD,
and diagnose that so quickly?
>> Adam: Well, they didn't
declare it
an official diagnosis.
But, I mean, even if they had,
who cares?
I don't believe a word
that comes out of their mouths.
>> Billy: Did the therapist
explain why they think
that you might be
a possible trigger for Connor?
>> Chelsea: Because that's what
Connor told them.
Apparently, my psychotic
breakdown caused him
all of this trauma
and all of this guilt,
and his OCD, um,
has convinced him
that my suicide attempt
was his fault.
>> Adam: Somehow the doctors,
after spending a minute
and a half with Connor,
by the way,
have determined that he sees
himself as a bad son,
and he blames himself for all
of his parents' problems.
>> Sally: This all sounds
so wrong, I--
>> Adam: Right?
>> Sally: And it's a brutal
conclusion to come up with
after meeting with him
so quickly.
Unless--
>> Adam: Unless what?
>> Sally: That didn't come
from Connor, did it?
>> Adam: Well, they claim
that it did.
But then again, they don't have
any credibility with me,
so I'm not buying it.
And it's also--
It's poor business policy
when you think about it.
>> Sally: What do you mean?
>> Adam: Who pays
their salaries?
I mean, who puts on
this big deal, prestigious,
overpriced treatment center?
The same parents
that they are trying to blame.
Or, you know,
maybe that is a scam,
maybe it's the guiltier
that they can make us feel
about screwing up our kids,
the more money that
we will just pump
into their facility to fix them.
I mean, no wonder
they are so successful.
>> Sally: Adam...
you know as well as I do
that you will be happy to pay
whatever it takes
if they can help Connor.
This is not about the money.
This is about you hurting.
>> Billy: Look, I can only
imagine how devastating
this must be.
I don't even
want to think about...
how I would feel if this were
Johnny or Katie going through
what Connor is going through.
But I think it's important
to remember that this current
moment is-- is temporary.
This right here, right now,
this is where it starts
to get better.
>> Chelsea: You really
believe that?
>> Billy: I do.
I mean, you had a good feeling
about the facility, right?
You think Connor's
in good hands?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I do.
>> Billy: Okay, good, so let's
trust their reputation
and trust your instinct.
And I think it's understandable
to want to separate Connor
from a possible trigger.
I mean, maybe they're trying
to give Connor some space,
and separate him to rule out
that you are a trigger.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, maybe.
I didn't think of it like that.
Maybe. Thanks, I'll--
I'll hold onto that.
Because I have to be
honest with you, it's breaking
my heart to think that my son
is in so much pain
because of me.
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Nick: I know, it's, uh--
It's easy for me to sound
all wise and philosophical
about my breakup with Sally.
I've had time to get over it.
It's getting easier for me
to see her with my brother.
Whereas you and Daniel
and Heather, it's raw and new.
Lily, the heart has an amazing
ability to be resilient,
and to heal itself if you can
just let the past be the past,
and look forward.
And I'm going to shut up now.
[ laughs ] I'm sorry.
>> Lily: What do you mean?
Sorry for what?
>> Nick: You don't need to hear
this from me, you have dealt
with your own heartbreak.
You know the drill.
>> Lily: No, but I mean,
it's good to hear, right?
It's a good reminder, I mean,
I don't know, I'm not going to
let this hold me back this time.
I just want to focus
on Chancellor-Winters,
making myself better, you know?
It's like I'm given this
opportunity, I just want to run
with it and not waste it, right?
>> Nick: That is exactly what
I'm trying to do with Newman.
And it's great.
And good for you
for not wallowing
like a lot of people would.
>> Lily: Well... [ laughs ]
>> Nick: What?
>> Lily: Uh, no, I was just
thinking about something
that Billy said earlier
about my fighting spirit.
And it was good to hear.
I needed to hear it.
>> Nick: All right,
Billy Abbott's got some wisdom.
We'll get some points for him.
>> Lily: Yeah, he's got
some insane ideas, too, so...
>> Nick: I don't doubt it.
Anything can sound crazy
until you're ready to hear it.
>> Billy: So what's next?
What did they say
is next for Connor?
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Chelsea: Um, among
other things, they're going to
start him, um, on this thing
called ERP treatment.
>> Billy: I don't know
what that is.
>> Chelsea: I didn't either.
Uh, ERP stands for
Exposure and Response
Prevention.
So they put Connor
in a controlled environment,
and slowly expose him
to his fears.
Not all at once, of course.
Um, they'll add things
as he gets stronger,
but they teach him
how to deal with it.
>> Billy: So the thought process
there is...
build up his toolkit
so the OCD isn't in control
of his compulsions?
>> Chelsea: Under a doctor's
guidance, yeah.
So the compulsions become
only some of his thoughts,
not all of his thoughts.
[ Chelsea sighs ]
>> Billy: Sounds pretty intense.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
It's overwhelming.
[ sniffles ]
Because it means
Connor has to be in pain.
He has to be scared.
He has to suffer, and I hate it,
and I want to scream.
I just want to scream,
because my kid has to be
in agony in order to get better.
[ exhales heavily ]
>> Billy: They're
specialists, okay?
These are trained specialists.
They know what they're doing,
and they've helped
so many people.
[ Chelsea sighs ]
And they're going to go slow.
They're not going to give Connor
any more than he can handle.
Chelsea, he's going to be okay.
He's gonna get
through this, okay?
He's not only going to get
through this, he's going to come
home safe and sound,
and he's going to amaze you,
and he's going to be
better equipped.
I think right now it's important
to make sure that we get you
through this waiting period.
And I'm not going to let you
go through this alone.
>> Adam: It was all that I could
do not to ask those doctors,
if they had children...
how they would feel if they were
banned from seeing them
when they were going through
the scariest, most painful times
of their life.
And then for them to sit there
in their-- their quiet,
condescending voices,
and tell us that it's better
for our own son
if we stay away from him.
I mean, the whole ride back,
I was planning to pull Connor
out of there, and I was gonna
sue them all into bankruptcy.
>> Sally: Which you won't do.
You know why?
Because as good as you think
it would feel to go ballistic,
all of your energy
and your focus
needs to be on your son,
not on some lawsuit that Connor
would probably blame
himself for, too.
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: I mean, sitting
in that office, and listening
to what they were telling me,
Chelsea was a wreck.
I could see Connor
was already on edge,
just trying to make sense
of another would-be solution
just so we would stop
worrying about him.
I don't mind how much--
I wanted to-- I just wanted
to explode, I couldn't do it.
>> Sally: No, you couldn't.
And you didn't.
You should be proud of yourself
for proving that you can control
your impulses when you need to.
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: I don't know
what to do, Sally.
>> Sally: No.
Not yet.
You've never been through
anything like this.
Which is exactly why
you need to give yourself
a chance to calm down.
To let everything settle in,
and do nothing
until you've given your mind
a chance to clear.
[ Adam sighs ]
>> Adam: I need to ask you
a question.
And I need you
to tell me the truth.
Am I wrong here?
Am I angry at the wrong people?
Is that what's going on here?
Is there a chance
that they could be right?
>> Sally: I'm not really
qualified to answer that, but--
>> Adam: Listen to me,
I need to know for sure.
What if they're right?
What if I failed my son?
[ sniffles ]
What if he is really
better off without me?
Huh?
>> Chelsea: You've already done
so much for me, it's not fair
for me to ask for more.
>> Billy: No, you can do that,
but then you're definitely gonna
have a fight on your hands.
>> Chelsea: Well, then I'll just
say thank you.
>> Billy: I'm a little
afraid to ask,
but how's Adam been
in all of this?
>> Chelsea: He kept it together.
Barely.
But then I was busy worrying
about Connor, and also
a nervous wreck over if and when
Adam was gonna lose it.
>> Billy: Hmm.
But you got a good vibe
from the facility, right?
And you got good reason
to trust and believe
that he's in good hands.
>> Chelsea: Billy,
I'm being told the only way
I can help my son
is by staying away from him.
It's devastating.
>> Adam: The one thing
that I know for sure...
is that if I caused
what Connor is going through,
then I-- then I should be
out of his life, okay?
For his own protection.
I mean, I was out of his life
for a long time, and-- and maybe
he was-- he was better off,
you know?
Because I will be damned
if I'm gonna be responsible
for causing him more pain
than he is already
going through, okay?
You know what?
Maybe I was never
meant to be a father.
>> Sally: Hey, hey, Adam. Adam.
Look at me.
>> Adam: No, I'm not doing it.
>> Sally: Look at me, please.
Adam, look at me. Adam.
>> Adam: You were meant
to be a father.
You were meant to be
Connor's father.
Who else could love him more
or be more fiercely protective
of him than you?
No one.
And everyone knows that.
Even people that aren't
your biggest fan know that
it is a fact that Connor
is your heart and soul.
[ Adam sniffles, sighs ]
>> Adam: I would die
for him, okay?
>> Sally: Then live for him.
Continue to be his champion,
and give him anything
and everything he needs
to fight this.
>> Adam: But how does
he fight this, Sally?
How will he manage this?
What if he can't?
I want to fix it for him.
I want to take it away.
Something. Anything.
But the thought that he's gonna
have to live with this...
for the rest of his life...
>> Announcer: Next week
on The Young and the Restless.
>> Lily: Lucy forgave you.
Heather's back
in your bed again.
So Princess Louisa
served its purpose.
And now it's just another game.
And I own it.
>> Jack: So we're waiting
for Ashley, right?
I mean, she is the topic,
isn't she?
>> Traci: I am scared
to death for Ashley.
>> Nikki: Forty wonderful,
complicated, exciting years
since we were first married.
No one can spoil
this night for us.
