Billy: Hey.
Lily: Hi.
Billy: You expecting anyone?
Lily: No.
Billy: Do you mind if I join
you? I hate eating alone.
Lily: Uh, hold on.
Not if you're gonna talk about
me firing Daniel and Heather.
Billy: I come in peace.
I promise I won't even
mention it.
Lily: Okay, fine.
But if you break that promise,
you're gonna have to leave.
Devon: So, I read your
analysis on the Kingston
acquisition and I agree 100%
that they need to bring that
number way down.
Nate: Oh, yeah. Way down.
Devon: Yeah. And you can be
the one to tell them.
But good job.
Nate: Thanks.
Devon: You're welcome.
Hey, pretty lady.
Abby: Hello. Hi!
Well, I like seeing this.
You two working
so well together.
Devon: Oh, yeah. This is
a well-oiled machine right
here, right?
Nate: Uh, yeah, the machine
can use a little extra oil
every now and then,
but, uh, it's coming along.
Abby: Well, as the newest
board member, I take full credit
for all these good vibes.
Devon: Oh, yeah.
That's 100% 'cause of you.
[ both chuckling ]
Nate: No argument from me
there. Well, I, uh,
better go make that phone call.
Devon: Yes, and hey,
would you mind coming back here
in about a half hour?
Nate: Uh, sure thing.
Devon: Thank you.
Nate: All right.
Abby: Half an hour?
Devon: Yeah.
Abby: Isn't that when the
board meeting's supposed
to start?
Devon: Well, yes, it is.
Abby: Devon?
Devon: Hm?
Abby: What are you up to?
♪♪
Victoria: Mom, no.
No, it is a terrible idea.
Nikki: It's the only way
to get Jordan
to come out of hiding.
Victoria: By using yourself
as bait? And then what?
Huh? I mean,
we don't know what kind of
weapons Jordan might have
or what the fallout might be
if she senses that it's a trap.
I-- Harrison and Claire are at
this woman's mercy. No, Mom,
it is too risky for all of you.
Nikki: You don't understand.
Victoria: I do understand.
I do. You want to help.
I-- I get that.
We all do. But the best thing
that any of us can do is just
let Dad and the authorities,
let them handle this.
Nikki: I am the one she
wants. I am the one that caused
this by allowing her to live.
Victoria: No, Mom, we
all made that choice.
You and me and Claire,
we made a pact that we did not
want to become who she is.
Nikki: And because of that,
Harrison has been kidnapped.
And probably Claire as well.
Victoria: Probably?
Are you saying
that you still have doubts
about Claire's innocence?
Victor: Hi, my sweetheart.
Come here. Come here.
Cry all you want, okay?
We're all here for you.
Summer: I'm scared, Grandpa.
I'm scared.
Victor: I know you're scared.
But we have a plan.
We're gonna bring Harrison
home safe and sound, right?
Kyle: Thanks for
coming by, man.
Chance: Yeah, of course.
Jack: Were you able to get
any information from your
friends on the force?
Chance: Nothing new so far,
but they're chasing every
tip that comes in.
Summer: And my son
is still out there
with two insane people.
Victor: Sweetheart, I know.
Summer: This is awful. I
mean, who does this to a child?
Victor: I know.
We're doing everything we can.
I promise you,
we'll bring Harrison home.
You've got to believe that.
Come here.
Billy: Thank you.
So, how's Mattie?
Is she back in grad school?
Lily: Uh, yes, she is.
Um, she's doing better.
I mean, the struggle for her was
real, right? But she's good.
She's a very resilient,
strong young woman.
Billy: Just like her mom.
Lily: Yeah, I don't know
about that these days.
But, um, no, I'm just happy
that she's back in school and
has her life back.
Billy: How's Charlie doing?
Lily: Um, he's good.
He got a job
at a production company in L.A.
Billy: Hm.
Lily: So, he loves it.
Says it's like taking
a master class in filmmaking.
Billy: That's cool.
Lily: Mm-hmm.
Billy: It's got to feel good
for you, too.
Lily: Mm-hmm.
How are Katie and Johnny?
Billy: They're good.
Yeah, they're good.
My video chats with them
from boarding school
don't last long enough.
Half of the time
they're insisting they know more
than their old man.
And they're right.
Lily: What, that you're old?
[ Billy laughs ]
No, but, um, I'm actually really
sorry about what Chelsea's going
through with Connor.
Billy: Yeah, thank you.
It's been-- it's been tough on
her, you know,
talking about resilient.
But she's doing everything she
can to stay on track.
It's all about helping Connor
get through this.
Lily: Are you and Adam
playing nice?
Billy: As nice as someone
can play with Adam.
Lily: Well, look, I mean,
even if you have to fake it,
fake it, right?
At least for Connor's sake.
Billy: It's all about
the kid.
Lily: Good.
Billy: Look at us.
Sitting here, talking.
With all the ups and downs
over the years.
Like we're friends.
[ Lily laughs ]
Means a lot to me.
Lily: Hm.
Billy: You don't agree?
Lily: Oh, no, personally,
I agree. But professionally?
I don't trust you for a second.
Kyle: I can't believe the
police haven't found
anything solid yet.
Jack: Is that true?
They have no leads?
Chance: Well, they actually
did locate the driver of the
floral delivery truck.
Victor: Have they talked
to him?
Chance: Yeah, they took him
in for questioning.
Kyle: What did he say?
Chance: He said that he
stopped by a convenience store
early last night to get
a coffee and when he came back
outside, the cab was gone.
Victor: Now, did they take a
look at the security footage?
Chance: They did. A person
dressed in all black,
baseball cap on,
got in the truck and drove off.
Jack: Was it a man
or a woman?
Chance: It's hard to tell.
They tried to blow it up as
much as they could, but
you can't really see anything.
Victor: We know who it is.
It's that Jordan woman.
Jack: Well, it clearly
couldn't have been Claire.
She was at the party.
Kyle: Okay, did the security
footage show the truck
being taken? It must have
shown Jordan arriving, which
means she had to have known
that there was a delivery
scheduled for the house.
Jack: But she couldn't have
known he would
be there, could she?
Chance: Well, the driver is
claiming that that stop
is part of his routine.
He makes it all the time.
Jack: Maybe she paid the
driver off. Isn't that possible?
Chance: Yeah, that is, but
if that were the case, I think
I would've heard about it.
Now, this investigation
is still at the very beginning.
And, trust me, the
GCPD has its eyes on everybody
that could be involved.
[ phone ringing ]
Victor: Excuse me for a
moment. I've gotta take this.
Kyle: Okay, well, the one
thing we know for sure is that
Claire wasn't the driver.
She was at the party
and she was at the house.
Summer: And that's all
it means.
It doesn't mean that she wasn't
involved in the kidnapping.
Kyle: I'm just laying
out the pieces.
Summer: It doesn't mean that
she wasn't the point person on
the inside who made it easy for
Jordan to come in and take our
son and you are the person
that invited in the danger.
You let Claire walk right
through the front door and up to
Harrison's bedroom and because
of that, our son is gone.
Nikki: Of course I don't
want to believe that
Claire is helping Jordan.
Victoria: But you do think
it's possible.
Nikki: I didn't say that.
Victoria: No, you didn't have
to. But you've made it clear
that you think that she
could be a part of all this.
Nikki: Well, I think we at
least have to consider it.
I mean, could Jordan have
pulled this off on her own?
Victoria: That doesn't mean
that Claire helped her.
Come on, Mom.
Jordan has managed to slip
through everyone's fingers
more than a few times
on her own.
So, why not this time?
Nikki: So, you're saying
it was a coincidence
that Claire was in the house
at the exact same time that
Harrison was taken?
Victoria: I don't know, okay?
But until somebody gives me
some concrete proof, I am gonna
continue to believe that my
daughter has been kidnapped
and she's in terrible danger.
And it just scares me to death
that nobody recognizes this,
especially people in
her own family.
Claire's own family.
She has a target on her
back, Mom.
God knows what could happen.
Nikki: I'm sorry.
I-- I know you're terrified.
I didn't mean to make this
worse for you.
Victoria: Look, if you have
any more doubts about
Claire, would you do me a favor
and keep them to yourself?
Because I don't want to hear it.
Nikki: Duly noted.
Victoria: Why'd you even
come by here anyway?
Just to tell me about this
crazy plan of yours to
lure Jordan out into the open?
Nikki: I need Claire's
phone number so I can
send Jordan a message.
[ Victoria sighs ]
Victoria: Mom.
What if she doesn't respond?
Nikki: Oh, she'll respond.
Victoria: Look, Dad is
already working on something.
Something that is
far more logical
and less dangerous than you
offering yourself up.
Nikki: Your father's plan
is to give her money and safe
passage out of the country.
Victoria: Great. Wonderful.
What's wrong with that?
Nikki: Because it won't work.
Jordan's need for vengeance
is too strong for money and
freedom to mean anything.
Victoria: Oh, I see. So,
all of the risk just comes
right back on you.
Nikki: It could be the only
way of saving them, Victoria.
[ Victoria sighs ]
Victoria: All right.
All right, I'll give you
Claire's number.
On one condition.
Nikki: All right.
What is your condition?
[ phone rings ]
Victoria: Oh, I have
to get that.
It might be news about Claire.
Nikki: Of course.
Victoria: Hello. Hi.
Nikki: Any news?
Victoria: Oh, yeah.
That was just Cole.
He's on his way back
from talking to security.
Nikki: Good. Then you can
tell me your conditions for
giving me Claire's phone number.
Victoria: Look, Mom,
I understand your reluctance
to telling Dad what you're
planning to do, given
what happened the last time
that we confronted Jordan.
Because he's gonna do everything
that he can to try to stop you.
Nikki: That's exactly why
he can't know.
Victoria: Fine. Agreed.
We leave Dad
out of the loop. All right?
But you cannot do this alone.
You need me and Cole
to help you with
whatever it is you're planning.
And possibly Nicholas, too.
Nikki: Oh, no, no. No.
Not happening.
Victoria: Mom, it's a
deal-breaker. Either you let us
help you with this
or I'm gonna do everything in
my power to stop you.
Nikki: I'm fine with you
and Cole.
But I don't know
that I trust Nicholas
to not tell your father.
Kyle: Summer, I know you're
scared. And I know you're angry.
And if you wanna take it out on
me, that is fine. You're right.
I'm the one that let Claire in.
I just don't want to
believe she is a part of this.
Summer: Why? Because she
batted her sad little eyes
at you? She told you horrific
stories about her childhood?
She conned you, Kyle!
You were her mark!
Kyle: Okay, why would she go
along with the aunt she's
already turned her back on?
You're right. We don't know
enough for certain about Claire.
But we know everything
we need to about Jordan.
Summer: Including that Claire
was her accomplice.
Kyle: That's true. She was.
She did horrible things before,
but why was there no mention of
Claire in the hostage demands?
Why wasn't there talk of
safe passage for Claire
if they are both guilty?
Summer: To make people like
you believe that she's not.
Kyle: What purpose does that
serve her now?
To give up a life of
family and freedom?
To be a criminal on the run?
You know what? I'll say it.
I'm starting to believe
she is a victim too.
And not only because
I'm the one that let her in
and hate thinking that
I put our son in danger.
I want Harrison back more than
anything and I'm sure Victoria
wants the same thing for Claire.
So, if she is in jeopardy--
Summer: I do not care about
Claire. I care about our son.
Kyle: And you think I don't?
Summer: No! I think you're
a fool, wasting time
worrying about the wrong person.
Jack: Okay, okay.
Let's calm down here.
We need to focus on finding
Harrison more than fighting.
Listen, the guilty parties are
going to be found and punished.
We just have to find them
and soon.
Billy: Thank you.
Well, that's harsh.
It's good to know you can
still dish it out.
And here I thought
we were having a nice,
friendly conversation.
Lily: We are.
Billy: Let me ask you
a question.
Who gets up and walks away now?
Because technically you broke
the rules by bringing work up.
Lily: I meant
I didn't want to talk about
Daniel and Heather.
Billy: Ah, right. My bad.
Lily: Okay, the termination
has happened. We'll deal with
the lawsuit and the outcome
will be what it's gonna be.
I'm talking about the
bigger picture.
Billy: Bigger picture?
Are you
talking about my suggestion that
we run the company together
as partners?
Lily: Yes.
Billy: That's interesting.
I thought you were gonna do
everything in your power to
kick that can down the road.
Lily: No. I've
thought about it.
Billy: Then, let me guess.
You're not on board.
Lily: Billy, the truth is
is that you and I don't agree
on anything, okay?
I make a decision and
you have a contrary opinion.
Billy: But isn't that the
beauty of teamwork?
An honest exchange of ideas?
Lily: If we were partners,
we'd disagree on everything. We
would never get anything done.
Billy: I would say that's a
slight exaggeration.
Lily: And that's not the
only reason why
I wouldn't do this.
Billy: Okay, there's
another reason.
Lily: I am not gonna betray
my family by pushing them down
to give you more power.
Billy: Did I ever ask you
to do that?
Lily: You didn't have to.
That's what would happen.
And to be honest, I think that's
your plan.
Right? Part of the reason why
you want to add Abbott
to the logo,
why you antagonize Devon,
why Jill is pretty much absent
from everything and leaving it
all in your hands.
And I think that's why you're
trying to tempt me with an offer
that you think I can't refuse.
But I mean,
I have to wonder how long before
you push me down in your
relentless drive for power.
Billy: Do you honestly think
that I would betray you
like that?
Lily: I'm just
being pragmatic.
Billy: I've been nothing
but open and honest
about what I want
and what I want for the company.
I'm not playing games,
and I'm not some random person
that you gotta
think the worst of.
Lily: Well, that might
be true, but
this is where I'm at right now.
Okay? I've been through a lot.
So, I have to exercise
caution in my personal
and my professional life.
Which outweighs hurting
anyone's feelings.
Which brings me back to you.
Billy: Yeah, what about me?
Lily: Well, when we have the
board meeting this afternoon,
I'm going to bring up clarifying
your role in the company.
Billy: I'm no longer filling
in for you, so an actual title
would be a good thing.
Lily: That's not really what
I'm talking about. I'm going to
urge the board to limit your
power and remove you from
being an officer at the company.
Victoria: How can you even
say that? Look, Nicholas may not
like what you're doing, but that
doesn't mean that he's gonna go
running to Dad about it.
Nikki: Listen, the more
people we bring into this, the
more complicated it will get.
Victoria: Nicholas, he can
help us in so many
different ways, Mom.
Nikki: Victoria, please.
I am begging you.
Let me do this my way.
Victoria: Hey.
Cole: Hey.
Victoria: Anything new?
Cole: Nothing.
And I'm trying not to flip out.
Hi, Nikki.
Nikki: Hey, Cole.
Cole: How are you holding up?
Victoria: Well, do you wanna
tell him or should I?
Nikki: I don't care.
Victoria: Mom thinks it's
a great idea to put herself
out there as a target for Jordan
to lure her out of hiding.
Cole: What? Nikki,
that's not happening.
Victoria: Exactly. That was
my reaction, too, but she
won't be swayed. So, I insisted
that you and me and Nicholas,
possibly, need to be a part of
whatever it is she's planning.
Nikki: No, Nicholas. End of
story. Now, we don't have time
to waste arguing about this.
Cole: Nikki, this is too
dangerous. With Nick or without.
Nikki: I am aware of
the risks, but this could be
the only way we get
Claire and Harrison home safely.
Cole: Are-- are-- are you
backing up your mother on this?
Victoria: There is
a terrible logic behind it.
Jordan's hatred is mostly
directed at my mother.
She's Jordan's weak spot.
Cole: Does Victor
know all about this?
Nikki: No, and he's not
going to know, because nobody's
gonna tell him, including you.
Cole: Nikki, you have a plan,
Victor and Jack have a plan,
and no one is telling
the police what they're up to.
Nikki: I don't care
what anybody else's plan is.
This is what I'm doing.
Cole: Listen, I get it,
all right, I know exactly
how you feel.
I would lay my life on the line
to bring Claire home,
but why not involve the police?
Victor, Jack, I mean,
these-- these are the ones with
the tools and the experience.
This is impulsive
and it's short-sighted
and it might trigger Jordan
into doing something terrible.
Victor: I agree with Jack.
And I agree
with Kyle's suspicion.
I do think
that Claire's being held hostage
by that terrible woman.
Jack: Whoa, I'm not prepared
to jump to any conclusions here.
I think we have to consider
every possibility.
What makes you so certain
that Claire is innocent?
Victor: Because I've been
around Claire for a while,
and whenever the name
of her aunt has been brought up,
her hatred of the woman
is absolutely palpable.
Summer: Or that's just
a part of her con.
We know how convincing
she can be.
Victor: Sweetheart,
you've got to let go
of that anger, okay?
Jack is right.
Right now,
we have to do everything
in our power to find those two.
Chance: So, what exactly
is the plan here?
Victor: What exactly
is the plan?
We interrogate the driver,
see what he knows.
Chance: Well, hold on.
I just-- I just said
the police already did
a preliminary interview.
Victor: They didn't find
diddly, did they?
Chance: Well, maybe
there was nothing to tell.
Victor: That remains
to be seen.
Chance: Victor, any evidence
that you find going rogue,
you know you can't use that
in a court case, right?
Victor: Chance, I don't give
a damn about a court case.
Chance: Okay, so what's
your plan here?
You're just gonna wing it?
Victor: We'll do
what we have to.
Chance: Victor, families
operate on emotion.
That's when mistakes are made.
It usually ends up badly,
sometimes even tragically.
I would let the police
do their job.
Victor: When I ask you
for advice, you will know.
Right now, I'll do everything
in my power
to find my granddaughter
and my great-grandson.
And you stay the hell out of it.
Billy: Cutting me off at the
knees at Chancellor-Winters,
that's a bold move.
Lily: It's just defining
your purview.
Billy: It's tying my hands.
Lily: Look, it's
a conversation we should've had
when Jill first
brought you on, okay?
Billy: No, true,
but that's why she brought me on
so you didn't have to think
about work, so you could focus
on taking care of your daughter.
I never tried to replace you.
I would never try
to crowd you out.
Lily: Yes, I believe you,
but not everyone sees it
that way, and it's distraction.
So, if we define your role
at the company,
then we can actually focus
on making the company better.
Because the stronger the company
is, the stronger I am.
Billy: Self-preservation
brings out your eyes.
We're good together.
You know it.
Lily: Are we good enough for
me to give you half my power?
I don't know about that.
Billy: I'm not saying I'm
perfect. I shoot from the hip
maybe a little bit too much,
but that's something
I can work on.
But we're good together.
That's why Jill brought us
together in the first place.
You don't think she has the same
thing in mind this time?
Lily: Did Jill actually say
the words, "I think you and Lily
should run Chancellor-Winters
together?"
Billy: With the environment
at Chancellor-Winters?
She's smarter than that.
Lily: Okay, then we'll bring
it up at the board meeting.
Billy: Okay, you want
to do this with everyone,
not just me and you hashing it
out one-on-one.
Lily: Yeah, everything out
in the open is the best option.
Billy: So you have
your back covered.
Lily, I would never betray you.
Lily: Oh, my God.
Yeah, famous last words.
Billy: Okay, so clearly,
I'm the enemy here,
which I'm not, but let's just
say I am.
You think your family's
gonna protect you?
Mamie's only out for herself
and taking down Jill.
Devon, I'm not the only one
he has a problem working with,
okay, 'cause he only
thinks about himself,
and what he wants to do.
He doesn't give anyone else
room and that's gonna be you
next time. When your power
gets too much,
he's gonna freak out.
Lily: That wouldn't happen,
but if it did,
we'd figure it out.
Billy: I'm the smart bet.
I'm the one you should trust.
I don't know why the hell
you don't see that.
Nikki: Victor will not be
a part of this call.
It's not up for debate.
Cole: Victor wants to get
Jordan as badly as you do,
so why not let him help?
Nikki: Because then he will
want to put me on the sidelines
and think I am in too fragile
of a state to face Jordan again.
Cole: Is he wrong about that?
Nikki: What are you saying?
Cole: You've been
through a lot, Nikki.
Nikki: Yeah, I have, and I am
in the best position to know
what I can and cannot handle.
Thank you.
Victoria: She also believes
this is all her fault.
Cole: That's just not true,
all right?
You're not responsible
for Jordan's actions.
Victoria: That's what
I said, too.
Nikki: And your continuing
to say it does not reduce
my guilt or my determination
to fix this once and for all.
Now, once I make contact with
Jordan, I will tell your father.
And then, he can involve
as many security and police
officers as he wants.
Cole: All right,
listen, listen, by then,
it might be too late.
Nikki: You know what?
This is what we're doing!
Get it?
Now, if my risking my life is
the only way to save
Harrison and Claire,
I'm willing to take that risk.
All right.
I've met your conditions.
So, give me Claire's
phone number right now!
Chance: Have you considered
that you could be jeopardizing
their safety by not working
with the police?
Victor: I consider
everything.
Summer: Grandpa, Chance knows
about these things.
He has experience.
Victor: The fact that your
friend worked for the GCPD
doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
Now, you either jump on board,
get with it, or you can
leave the premises.
Chance: That's how
it's gonna be, yeah?
Jack: I'm with Victor
on this one.
Kyle: So am I.
Victor: You find the truck
driver, bring him to the ranch.
You tell him if he cooperates,
he'll be compensated.
[ Summer sighs ]
Lily: Hello, Abby.
Abby: Hi.
Lily: Nice to see you.
Abby: Well, it's wonderful to
be here. I'm happy to contribute
however I can. I know how much
Chancellor-Winters means
to everyone involved.
Lily: Thank you, I know
you do. Um, are we all set
for the meeting?
Devon: Yes, Jill let us know
last minute she's gonna be
joining, uh, via video chat,
and then I also asked Nate
if he would stop by.
Nate: Hey.
Devon: Hey.
Thank you for coming.
Nate: Uh, if this is about
Daniel's lawsuit, that's not
exactly my turf.
Jill: You are correct.
It is a board issue.
Billy: Glad you could
join us, Mom.
Jill: What's going on there?
Why is Nate with you?
Devon: I asked him to come,
uh, because before we start
the discussion about
the Daniel situation,
I wanted to motion for Nate
to be reappointed to the board.
Lily: Devon, I wish you had
talked to me about this first.
Devon: Well, that's why I
brought it up, so we can all
discuss it before we take
a vote, and I'm sure you're
willing to answer any questions
we might have.
Nate: Of course.
I'd be happy to.
Lily: So, sorry, did Abby
know about this?
Abby: Devon and I talked
about it earlier.
Lily: Nate?
Nate: Uh, first, I'm hearing
about it, but I am humbled
and grateful you have such
faith in me. I give you my word,
I will do my best
by the company if elected.
Billy: So, you two were
the only ones who knew
about this, hm.
That's interesting.
Jill: All right, Devon,
tell me, how long has
that bombshell been percolating
in that little brain of yours?
Devon: Well, this actually
goes back to what
Neil wanted, Jill, because he
put it in his will that Nate
must be given a seat on
the board of Hamilton-Winters,
and I believe that he's
earned that spot.
Billy: But it would have been
nice to get a heads up.
Seems a little bit shady
that you would spring this on us
all, especially Lily,
but then again, that's probably
your idea all along.
But hey, we're here now.
So, let's have a vote.
[ Chance sighs ]
Summer: Chance, wait.
Uh, look, I'm sorry
about my grandpa.
Chance: No, no, that is
exactly what I expected, and you
know what I should've done?
I should've reminded your
grandpa of all the times he's
gone off without the police
and it's blown up in his face.
Summer: Look, you've got to
admit, he's been able to achieve
some things that the police
haven't been able to.
Chance: Yeah, illegal things.
Dangerous things.
Some are things that have put
his life in danger. I tell you,
this is just one reason
why I left law enforcement.
People like Victor Newman
think that they can do whatever
the hell they want.
Summer: You have to
understand, though,
that is how he became who he is.
He sees a problem, he finds
a solution and he doesn't
let anybody get in his way.
Chance: That sounds
like you agree with him.
Summer: I'm not saying that.
I'm not. Does my grandpa
take it too far sometimes?
Yes, maybe, but in this
circumstance, right now,
you have to admit, the police
are the ones that keep on
losing Jordan, and meanwhile,
my son is the one that's out
there enduring God knows what.
I just want to bring him home.
I really don't care
how it happens.
Nikki: Give me
the damn phone, Victoria!
We're wasting time!
Victoria: Are you all right?
Nikki: What?
What are you talking about?
Victoria: You seem
really agitated. I mean,
you're almost shaking.
Nikki: Of course
I am agitated!
Anybody would be agitated
having to deal with Jordan.
Victoria: I know that--
Nikki: My God, that woman
has Harrison under her control.
She's got to be stopped.
We don't have a moment to waste.
Victoria: Mom?
Nikki: Why are you making
this so difficult for me?
I am offering you the best way
to get Harrison and Claire home,
and you are fighting me
at every turn.
Victoria: Mom, stop!
Nikki: Why are you
doing that?
Victoria: Have you been
drinking again?
Kyle: Hey. Have a seat.
Driver: Why am I here?
I-- I already told my story
to the cops.
Jack: Now we'd like you
to tell it to us.
From the beginning.
How your truck was stolen.
Driver: The guy said
something about compensation?
Jack: Oh, you will be
well-rewarded if you help us.
Are you aware that your truck
was used in the abduction
of a seven-year-old boy?
Driver: All they asked me was
how my truck ended up empty
and abandoned on Astor Road.
And I told them. It was stolen
when I was getting snacks
for my shift.
Security footage backed up
my claim and they let me go.
Kyle: So that's all you know?
Driver: Yeah, that's all.
Why would I lie?
Jack: We never said you lied.
We asked if that was everything.
Driver: I told you guys
everything that happened.
Jack: To me, you seem
like an honest guy.
To that man,
that is Victor Newman.
And if he thinks you know more
than you're saying, he will turn
your life into a living hell.
I have seen it happen before.
I would hate to see it
happen to you.
So, when we ask for answers...
Victor: You better answer.
Abby: We don't have to vote
right now. I mean, Devon
mentioned Nate answering
any questions we may have.
Billy: I actually have
a question, but it's for Devon.
This little dance to put Nate
back on the board,
is it payback?
Because Jill agreed to put Abby
on the board as long as I got
a seat too?
Devon: No, I think I was
pretty clear when I explained
this is about what Neil wanted.
And I also believe that Nate has
earned back this responsibility.
Billy: Right, so Nate's
earned it, but mine's a freebie.
Devon: Those are your words.
So, if there are no
other questions, we can move on
to the voting, and that's
one vote for me to have Nate
on the board.
Abby: I second that.
Billy: Surprise, surprise.
Devon: Lily?
I think with the recent dynamics
in the company, this makes
a lot of sense for us.
Billy: It does make a lot of
sense, stacking the board
to vote in line with you.
It's interesting, Lily,
because we were just talking
about undefined purviews,
and I'm sitting here wondering,
what does this board really do?
I mean, what's the point
of voting when you already
know the outcome?
Devon: Are you done?
Can we move on?
Jill: So, does this
mean we get to vote now?
Devon: I would love that.
Billy: Nate, this is not
personal at all.
You've done some really great
work since you've come back.
Nate: Thank you.
Billy: But for me,
it's a little too soon.
The memories of what happened
last time are too fresh.
Jill: Yeah, from when
you brazenly sold us out.
Nate: I am aware.
Jill: Which is why I think
this is premature. I vote no.
Billy: I agree.
Devon: All right.
Two yeses, two nos.
Lily: Well...
I guess it's up to me then.
Chance: Hey, hey, hey.
Look at me. Look at me.
I understand you're scared
right now, but I honestly think
that the best and the safest way
to bring Harrison home is
to let the police do it.
If it were Dominic,
that's what I'd do.
Summer: But it's not Dominic.
So, you don't know what
you would do, not really.
Chance: Yeah, I-- I guess,
you're right, I'm sorry.
Summer: Look, I don't know
what the right plan is, I don't.
I just want my son
to come home safely.
Chance: I know, and you know
I'm gonna do whatever I have to
do to make that happen, right?
Summer: Yeah.
Chance: So have faith.
We might not all be pulling
in the same direction,
but we all want the same thing.
Now, I'm gonna go check in with
the lead detective, see if I can
find out anything new.
Summer: Okay.
Chance: Okay.
It's gonna be okay.
Summer: Call me.
Chance: I will.
Summer: Okay.
Nikki: No, I haven't been
drinking.
Victoria: The behavior,
it just seemed familiar to me,
that's all.
Nikki: Oh, is that how
it's going to be now?
Whenever we have a disagreement,
I get accused of being drunk?
Victoria: I'm not accusing
you. I'm asking you,
out of concern.
I'm asking out of love.
Nikki: I'm sorry.
It's a sensitive subject.
Victoria: I know.
Nikki: But I do
appreciate your caring,
I really do.
But I promise you...
I haven't been drinking again.
Jack: As to your question
about compensation...
Victor: What is your name?
Dave: Dave.
Victor: All right, Dave.
I'll offer you $100,000
for inside information.
Dave: You don't think
I was involved, do you?
Kyle: Yes, we do.
We know the woman paid you
to ditch your truck.
Jack: The woman you've been
doing business with
is a murderer, capable
of almost anything.
You are very lucky
you got out alive.
Victor: So, Dave, this is
your chance to fix your mistake.
To save a child's life.
So, why don't you tell us
everything you know?
