>> Daniel: Oh!
Uh-oh.
I'd, uh, say hello, but, uh,
are we allowed to even have
a conversation without our
lawyers present?
>> Abby: You know, that's funny,
but there's probably a little
bit of truth to that, too.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
We've known each other forever,
huh?
>> Abby: Yeah.
>> Daniel: Who would've thought
that the two of us would wind up
on opposite sides of a lawsuit?
>> Abby: Mm.
>> Daniel: And I hope you know
that I don't hold any of this
against you.
I mean, how could I?
We've always had
each other's back.
I just-- I've been trying to
figure out if anybody else on
the board voted against this
little lawsuit.
You know, I-- I don't know how
Billy would have voted.
I can't be sure what Jill
was thinking.
>> Abby: Daniel, I, um...
>> Daniel: Oh, you know what?
I-- I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to put you
on the spot.
I'm not gonna try and get
inside information out of you.
Unless this is maybe one of
those little safe gray areas.
No, look, I-- I'll be honest.
Knowing that someone over at
Chancellor-Winters is on my
side, that-- that means a lot.
>> Abby: You know, Daniel,
you're right.
We have been friends
for a long time.
And I can't lie to you.
♪♪
>> Audra: What makes you so
optimistic that your
relationship with Devon will be
repaired if you do him
this favor?
>> Tucker: I'm not completely,
but it seems like the door has
been cracked a little.
>> Audra: But don't you think
it's strangely out of character
for Devon to make a deal
like that?
And all you would have to do is
get Billy out of
Chancellor-Winters.
Devon's been so adamant about
keeping you out of his life,
and suddenly, there's
an opening.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
He didn't go so far as to
actually broker the deal with
me, but...
>> Audra: Okay.
Now, the truth comes out.
You could help Devon with Billy
and wind up getting nothing.
Tucker, no. Please.
>> Tucker: Remember, Audra,
I am a master at risk analysis.
>> Audra: Did Devon ever
actually ask for your help?
>> Tucker: He is clearly
at odds with Billy.
So much so that he's willing to
do something underhanded to get
him out.
In which case he's come to the
right guy, 'cause obviously my
specialty is underhanded.
>> Devon: So, if we pull this
off, we can stop Billy's sudden
rise to power, but we have to do
it fast before he causes
any damage.
>> Nate: Sounds good.
Count me in.
>> Devon: Lily, I know you're
a lot closer to Jill.
>> Lily: No, I'm in.
I have been very loyal to Jill,
and this is a complete
betrayal, so we have to respond
accordingly.
>> Nate: You do realize she's
going to explode when we do
this, right?
>> Devon: I don't care.
She dropped a bomb on us,
and we're gonna return
the favor.
>> Daniel: Okay, so you can't
lie to me, I can't lie to you.
Yeah, that's kind of how
a friendship works.
You're talking about something
specific though, aren't you?
>> Abby: It's about
Chancellor-Winters.
>> Daniel: Right, I figured.
>> Abby: Look, I can't tell you
what happened in the board
meeting except for one thing,
and I thought that you should
hear it from me.
>> Daniel: Okay.
>> Abby: When the board voted to
settle the lawsuit with you
or fight it in court,
I voted to fight.
>> Daniel: Oh.
To fight me?
>> Abby: Oh, uh...
To fight for
Chancellor-Winters'
intellectual property,
not to fight you per se.
>> Daniel: Not me per se,
that-- that's good.
Thank you.
So, some of the board members
wanted to settle.
I mean, they were willing to
offer some kind of deal to make
this whole thing go away.
And if that deal was good
enough, and I was willing to
take it, then I could be
getting on with my life instead
of gearing up to go to court?
>> Abby: Look, like I said,
I can't talk about what happened
in the meeting. I just--
I didn't want there to be any
misunderstandings.
>> Daniel: Well, that's--
that's good.
Yeah, we wouldn't want any
misunderstandings, you know.
You wouldn't want me doing
anything stupid like thanking
you for having my back.
>> Abby: Daniel, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I-- I had to put my personal
feelings aside.
>> Daniel: Even after years
of friendship?
All of that, to just put
it aside?
>> Abby: I had to do what was
best for the company.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I keep hearing
that, had to do what's best
for the company.
God knows they'd never survive
without my games, right?
>> Abby: Well, that's why I was
put on the board.
>> Daniel: Devon put you on the
board, right?
>> Abby: For my own merits.
>> Daniel: Maybe he put you
there to vote exactly the way
he wanted you to vote.
You know, to-- to hell with
morality and years of
friendship, or what's decent.
>> Abby: Actually, everyone
voted to put me on the board,
so I could help support
Chancellor-Winter's financial
stability and their status
in the marketplace.
How Devon feels, it doesn't
enter my mind when I vote.
>> Daniel: Yeah, but how could
you think that it was right
to vote against me?
>> Abby: Look, I have to get
back to the office.
If you would like to discuss
this further, just let me know.
>> Audra: Well, I can't
argue with that.
You can absolutely do
underhanded with the best
of them.
But do you honestly think
Devon will respond well to
you getting blackmail material
on Billy or whatever else
you're planning?
>> Tucker: Yes, I do.
He desperately needs my help,
whether he wants to admit it
or not.
>> Audra: Well, I don't like
to see you let down.
You deserve better.
But I also don't wanna argue
about this because I have
exciting news to share.
>> Tucker: I guess you do.
What is it?
>> Audra: I managed to move
our flight up.
So, since we are packed
and ready to go, we can leave
for the airport now.
You can deal with this whole
Billy situation when
you're back.
>> Tucker: Yeah, Audra, I think
when we're back, it's gonna be
too late for the Billy
situation, so if you could just
let me handle this right now,
I'll be yours. All yours, after.
>> Audra: Now.
Are you serious?
You're canceling our trip?
Again?
>> Phyllis: Ah, oh, no.
No, blegh.
No, mm-hmm.
>> Daniel: Not a fan of what
you were listening to?
>> Phyllis: Oh, ah, I am not.
I was just having a great
morning, and then I was
listening to some music,
and-- and a song of your dad's
came on.
Ow, my ears.
Not a fan.
Ow, not a fan at all.
>> Nate: Looks like everything's
all set.
I hope this goes off
without a hitch.
>> Abby: Hi.
I'm here, what's going on?
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Abby: Hi.
>> Devon: How you doing?
Listen, I'm sorry to spring
this on you right now, but we
didn't have time to waste,
and we had to call for
a board meeting.
>> Abby: Wait, a board meeting?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Abby: But Billy's not here.
He's out visiting other
offices, according to the email
he sent out.
>> Devon: I know.
That's the point.
>> Abby: Okay, I don't think
I like where this is headed.
Do you really think it's fair
to pull off whatever this is
behind his back?
>> Devon: No, because Billy was
given power behind our backs.
So, this is on them.
We're just trying to fix it,
and we're going to have a vote.
>> Abby: Wait, a vote?
What is this about?
>> Jill: Oh, for God's sake.
What now?
>> Tucker: Let's just take
a beat.
>> Audra: No, I-- I am sick
and tired of being runner-up
to everyone else. People that
don't even care about you!
>> Tucker: You are not
runner-up to anyone else!
We can still take our trip.
I just have to do this one
thing quickly first, okay?
>> Audra: First?
First as something or someone
else always comes first.
Look, you already canceled
our trip once when you wanted
to stay and save Ashley
from herself.
And don't even give me that
pathetic excuse that the
business partners weren't
available the first time.
We could've gone without
the damn meetings.
We could've taken an actual
vacation anywhere in the world.
>> Tucker: Yes, and we can still
take it.
>> Audra: When?
You said that last time
and I am still waiting.
You just can't do that for me,
can you?
For all I know,
Devon is just a cover story.
Maybe this is just all about
Ashley.
>> Tucker: I have
an opportunity.
Listen to me.
I have an opportunity to prove
myself to him.
Do you expect me to blow that?
If you knew me at all,
if you care about me at all,
you would not.
>> Lily: Welcome, Jill.
>> Devon: Thanks for joining us
on such short notice.
>> Nate: Well, if you'll excuse
me, I'll leave you to it.
Nice to see you, Jill.
>> Jill: All right.
What's going on here?
Why are we calling this
secret last minute meeting?
>> Abby: I'd like to know that
as well.
I am as much in the dark
as you are.
>> Jill: Lily, I thought
I explained this all to you
when we spoke.
I gave Billy my complete
authority and my voting rights
so I could step back.
And yet here you are,
calling a meeting without him.
This is exactly the kind of
situation that I was wanting
to avoid.
>> Lily: You made yourself
very clear, but this is
an emergency and
we can't reach Billy.
>> Jill: Well, of course you
can't, because you know full
well he's traveling.
>> Devon: Jill, if you recall,
we entered into this merger
between my company and your
company in good faith and a full
partnership, correct?
>> Jill: Yep, Devon.
We all know how we got here.
What is your point?
>> Devon: The point is,
you brought Chancellor
Industries to the deal.
And the key word there is you.
Lily and I signed an agreement
with you and not
with Billy Abbott.
So, in light of that, I'd like
to make a motion to clearly
define Billy's power
within the company.
He does not get veto power
or unilateral decisions.
And we expect all decisions
and ideas to pass through Lily
and myself first.
And if it's a no from us,
it's a no across the board.
And this is all happening
because Billy is not you
and he never will be you, Jill.
>> Phyllis: I don't know, I just
think it's kind of disgusting
that your dad is touring with
Christine all over the world.
I just think it's gross.
I just don't understand it.
I mean, why he would pick
Christine over having a real
adult relationship
with a real woman?
>> Daniel: I think that Dad
and Christine seem quite happy
and I think that their
relationship is very mature
and very adult.
>> Phyllis: Oh, really?
Oh, okay.
So, are you paying attention?
Because it's obvious that
they're trying to go after some
sparkly version of the past.
I think your dad is actually
losing his mind.
What's going on with you?
I'm talking disparagingly about
your dad and you're not
doing it.
What is going on with you?
>> Phyllis: Why are you laughing
right now?
Are you mocking me?
>> Daniel: No, no, no.
I'm not-- Maybe. I don't know.
Maybe a little.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's-- it's--
it's just amazing how
self-absorbed and involved
you are.
Anytime that my life is just
falling apart, I can just--
I can count on you to be you.
That's for damn sure.
>> Phyllis: Are-- are you upset?
>> Daniel: A little, yeah.
No. I don't-- I don't know.
Maybe I'm just a little numb
because of everything that's
going on right now.
Let me ask you something.
Am I a jerk?
Do you think that I'm a jerk?
>> Phyllis: What? No.
Don't be ridiculous.
>> Daniel: I'm asking you,
not as my mother.
I want your
honest opinion here.
>> Phyllis: Uh, why are you
asking me something like that?
>> Daniel: Well that,
I don't know.
I just seem to be managing
to infuriate everybody
that's around me recently.
I pissed Lily off so bad
that she fired me.
You know, she-- she took away
the games that I created,
won't give them back.
She knows how much they mean
to me. She knows that one of
them basically saved my life.
That's how bad I pissed
her off.
>> Phyllis: Okay, listen,
listen.
I know Lily is upset right now,
but that is not your fault.
It's not your fault you were
following your heart.
And I-- I think-- I think
Lily's gonna to come around.
I really do.
>> Daniel: Okay.
What about Abby?
Hm?
I just found out that my
long-time friend voted
against me.
You know against a possible
settlement and a lawsuit that
I'm involved in.
Why would she do that?
Why would she turn on me?
When did I become the person
that everybody wants to hate?
>> Audra: Because I don't wanna
be overlooked by you means I
must not care about you enough.
Get real.
You have that backwards.
>> Tucker: Hey,
I didn't ask Devon to come
to me with this now
when we're about to go to Paris.
And believe me, if I felt I
could put it off, I would.
>> Audra: Yeah.
>> Tucker: Yes, I would.
But you know what I saw in his
eyes, Audra?
I saw--
I saw a look of intense urgency.
He needs my help right now.
He's in trouble right now.
And if I help him out,
there's a chance, just a--
a chance,
that he will let me back
into his life.
Into my grandson's life.
And you know how important that
is to me.
They are the only family I have.
>> Audra: There it is.
I am not family to you.
>> Tucker: Oh, God,
you know what I mean.
>> Audra: No, what we have isn't
as meaningful as your connection
to people who say they want
nothing to do with you.
Why?
You know, if I accepted your
proposal, you'd consider me
family then, wouldn't you?
So, this is just you
punishing me.
>> Tucker: No!
>> Audra: If I don't
bow to your commands,
you can't be bothered--
>> Tucker: Bow to my commands?
>> Audra: Showing me
an ounce of respect.
Tucker, I am tired of this!
>> Tucker: Hey.
>> Audra: I-- I'm done
with your little game.
>> Tucker: This is not a game.
This is no game to me.
Do you know what?
Hey.
Do you know what he says to me
every time, every time
I see him?
"You cannot be trusted, Tucker.
You are a pathological liar,
Tucker.
You-- you-- you only think
of yourself, Tucker."
And no, this is not the
scenario that I dreamed of that
might bring us back together,
but it is a chance.
It's a shot
at having a future with him.
>> Audra: And what about
our future?
We plan and plan and plan,
and when it comes down to it,
you cancel because you can't
keep your word.
And it is time you ask
yourself why.
>> Tucker: I just--
>> Audra: No, you know what?
I'll tell you.
Deep down inside,
you don't want this.
>> Tucker: That's not true.
>> Audra: You don't want us.
>> Tucker: No, I don't want us
because I want to salvage
my relationship with my son?
>> Audra: If you don't want to
go to Paris with me,
I will go without you!
>> Tucker: Come on.
Audra.
>> Jill: I cannot believe
the two of you.
You do realize that this is
nothing less than an ambush,
don't you?
>> Devon: We're just following
your lead, Jill.
>> Abby: You could've at least
given me a heads up.
>> Devon: I know, I'm sorry.
We didn't have time.
>> Jill: That you two would try
to pull a number on Billy and me
like this is outrageous.
>> Lily: This is not against
you, Jill.
This is what is fair.
If Billy has voting power,
his votes and vetoes should not
override ours.
When you and I brought this
partnership into play with
Hamilton-Winters, it was on
equal footing.
And now with Billy involved,
the balance has shifted.
So, we should all have
equal voices.
>> Jill: Right. Equal.
Meanwhile, you and Devon have
already made up your little
voting block.
This move practically
neutralizes Billy and anything
he would put forward.
>> Lily: I wanted to discuss
Billy's role and boundaries
in the meeting the other day.
But the meeting got side-tracked
and we never got back on track.
>> Jill: So, you decided not to
bring it up until this
very moment, huh?
>> Devon: Jill, Billy's barely
been back here and he's already
causing instability
in the company.
We're spending more time in
these board meetings than
focusing on the work that we
have at hand.
And we need to get back
on solid ground.
>> Jill: And this is the way
to do it, you think, Devon?
By stripping Billy of all his
power and in effect stripping
me of mine?
>> Devon: No, you stripped
yourself of that power when you
handed it to Billy without
telling anybody.
And this is us trying to
rectify it.
So, let's have this vote.
>> Jill: Why are we even
bothering to take a vote?
We all know how it's gonna
turn out.
It'll be Devon and Lily against
Jill and Billy.
And there's no doubt which way
Abby's gonna vote.
So, are we done here?
Because I wanna call my lawyer
and figure out a way to
fight this.
>> Abby: Jill, there's no need
to call your lawyers.
>> Jill: Abby, if you think I'm
just gonna roll over and accept
this ambush, you've got another
thing coming.
>> Abby: No need
for that either.
Because I'm voting with you
and Billy.
>> Jill: Thank you for making
the wise choice, Abby.
And Lily and Devon.
Nice try, but I'm afraid you're
stuck with Billy.
And do not try this again.
There will be no more board
votes without Billy present.
I'm sorry you both feel
this way, but this is the way
I want it.
So, make it work.
>> Devon: That's great.
>> Lily: Well, I guess
I should've voted for Nate
to join the board.
>> Abby: You know what?
I'm sorry, Lily.
And now I know what it feels
like to have no warning about
a consequential decision.
>> Devon: Babe, I'm sorry that
I sprung it on you, but why
would you vote against me?
>> Abby: Why did you just think
I would automatically vote
with you?
You didn't even discuss it
with me first.
You took my vote for granted.
>> Devon: I didn't mean to take
your vote for granted,
but I thought you understood
the situation
and you agreed that Billy's
power needed to be neutralized.
>> Abby: Okay, even if I did
agree with you, it doesn't mean
that I think your solution
would meet that goal.
I did what I thought was right.
>> Devon: How could anybody
think that Billy being forced
down our throats is right?
>> Abby: You know, my whole
life, I have been forced
to choose between the people
that I love.
Between the Newmans
and the Abbotts.
Between family members
on the same side.
The last person that I thought
would put me in this position
is you.
>> Audra: Sally.
>> Sally: Shouldn't you be
on your way to the airport?
>> Audra: Whiskey. Neat.
>> Sally: Uh oh. What happened?
You look upset.
>> Audra: Well, the fact that
Tucker is a complete jackass
might have something to do
with it.
>> Sally: Oh, God.
What happened?
>> Audra: Oh, you know,
nothing new.
Just Tucker's chosen to put
someone else's concerns
ahead of mine.
>> Sally: Ashley?
>> Audra: No,
this time it's Devon.
Tucker's chosen to take on some
doomed mission for his son
instead of honoring his promise
to me.
>> Sally: Okay, hold on.
Walk me through what happened.
>> Audra: We were all ready
to go to Paris, but no.
This entitled egomaniac just
managed to wriggle out of it
once again, claiming some
opportunity to get back in
Devon's good graces.
Does he honestly think he can
put everyone else first
and I'll just stick around?
I am not some toy
to be played with.
I will not be treated this way
and I will not
stand for it anymore.
What? Can't you see what
a thoughtless bastard
Tucker's being?
>> Sally: As your friend,
I get your frustration.
But this time, I can kind of
see Tucker's point of view.
>> Phyllis: You're questioning
yourself because of something
Abby did?
>> Daniel: Well, I consider her
a friend, a good friend.
>> Phyllis: She's not a friend.
>> Daniel: She is.
>> Phyllis: No, she's not.
She is a Newman and an Abbott.
She's a spoiled little rich
girl who's never had to really
work like the rest of us.
And who was she raised by?
Victor and Ashley.
Who pounded into her brain
that family comes first.
The family business will always
come first.
>> Daniel: And that's gonna
take precedence over
supporting me?
>> Phyllis: Okay. Yes. Yes.
As for Lily,
she's gonna come around.
She's not the type of person
to hold a grudge.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I don't know
if it's that simple.
I can't just sit back and wait
for Lily to come around.
This is bigger than that.
>> Phyllis: How's it bigger
than that?
>> Daniel: I don't know what
I am gonna do if I can't get
my games back.
I mean, I have built my life
around them.
I moved back to Genoa City
thinking that I could start
over here with people I loved.
And with people that I thought
loved me.
But, you know, everything just--
It-- it feels different.
>> Phyllis: Hey, no,
it's not different.
Everybody loves you.
>> Daniel: No, come on.
And I barely see Kevin anymore.
I love being with Heather
and Lucy, but we live in
the same building as my ex.
You know, and-- and our breakup,
it has definitely affected them.
It's definitely alienated them
and isolated them.
And something is just off there,
and I don't know what it is.
I can't put my finger on it,
but I can't fix it either.
>> Phyllis: Listen, listen,
listen. You need to calm down.
It's a rough patch right now.
And you're gonna go home.
You're going to see your
daughter, and she's gonna
tell you about her day.
And then the three of you,
maybe you'll watch a movie
or something.
Something you like to do.
And you're gonna realize
that you have a good life.
>> Daniel: Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe you're right.
But maybe, I don't know,
what if this is as good as
it gets for me?
And I just have to accept
the fact that I got to try and
start my career from scratch
and now my ex, she owns
the game that pretty much
helped me put my life
back together. Yeah.
Just accept that, right?
>> Phyllis: No, I never said
you had to accept it.
>> Daniel: You know what?
I think maybe I just need
to get out of here.
I need to go and I need to get
my mind off this.
I'll go paint.
Or I'll sketch.
Or, I don't know, maybe I'll
try and come up with a new
game. That would be good, right?
That would show everyone.
I don't know.
Just something
to make me feel normal.
Something to make me realize
that this too will pass, right?
>> Phyllis: Hey, it will pass.
It will pass.
I want you to believe
in yourself.
>> Daniel: It's okay, it's okay.
You're so talented, Daniel.
>> Tucker: What happened
to the good old days when
kids actually listened
to their parents.
>> Phyllis: I never listened
to my parents.
I doubt you did either.
>> Tucker: Yeah,
you're probably right.
Hey, I realized that normally
we, uh, nice.
We trade insults.
But I could really use a
parent-to-parent bonding moment
right now.
Go ahead.
>> Phyllis: List--
I just wanna be
honest with you.
If that's what you want,
I don't think I'm your person.
>> Tucker: Okay.
It's just, trying to reconnect
with Devon.
He's so preoccupied with work.
>> Phyllis: Is he?
Ah, wow.
Well, he's probably trying
to find a replacement
for my genius son that
he unceremoniously fired.
>> Tucker: Oh, that's right.
I forgot you work with
Chancellor-Winters now.
And Daniel was fired?
I didn't know that.
You know, it's really too bad
he didn't take me up on my
offer to market his video games.
He'd be sitting pretty
right now.
>> Phyllis: Okay, that wasn't
an option and you know it.
You know, I believe in Billy.
I think that Billy is going to
convince the powers that be
to rehire my son.
>> Tucker: Really?
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: Billy has
that much influence?
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
Jill transferred all of her
corporate power to him.
So Lily and Devon,
they don't get to do
what they please anymore.
>> Devon: Look, you're
absolutely right, okay?
I shouldn't have just put you
in the middle of it.
We were running out of time.
And, you know,
that's not even an excuse.
I should've taken the time
and I should've talked to you.
I'm sorry.
>> Abby: Thank you
for seeing my point.
But you and Lily should know
that I did have legitimate
reasons for voting against you.
>> Lily: Okay, well,
let's hear it.
>> Abby: There is enough tension
in this company.
And putting handcuffs on Billy
is only gonna create more.
And denying Jill autonomy in
her own role is a fire starter.
>> Devon: Yeah, but she lit
the match when she gave Billy
her power without telling us.
>> Abby: Jill brought Chancellor
into this partnership.
A more established and, quite
frankly, better endowed entity.
You and Lily have clearly
benefited from the deal.
So putting limits on Billy only
puts limits on Jill.
I mean, is that really how you
want to treat your partner?
>> Devon: I mean, Lily and I
considered all those things
before we went ahead with the
plan and we thought it made
the most sense.
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean, this
would've definitely been
the easiest way to deal with it,
but I guess that's not really
an option.
Maybe there's a silver lining
to this motion not passing.
>> Devon: What would that be?
>> Lily: Well, I think weakening
Billy's power might've
made him more dangerous.
>> Audra: I can't believe
you're siding with Tucker.
>> Sally: No, ultimately, I am
always on your side.
I'm just saying that I can also
see where Tucker is
coming from.
And I'm saying that to you
out of support and friendship so
you don't always feel like an
afterthought in his life.
>> Audra: Except I am, Sally.
>> Sally: Totally separate
is that he is desperate
to reconnect with his son
and grandson.
And this does seem like
a potential golden opportunity.
>> Audra: Yeah, okay, maybe.
But this isn't the first time
he's canceled on me
at the last minute.
>> Sally: Yes, maybe.
But this seems different.
Look, when I was little,
my parents basically ignored me.
I would give anything for them
to spend more time with me.
I'm actually a little jealous
of Devon that he's got
a devoted parent who wants to go
out on a limb and show how much
he cares.
>> Audra: Well, I think devoted
is kind of a stretch for Tucker.
But I know what you're saying.
Look, I've had my share of
family sob stories.
But that's still no excuse
for how Tucker treats me.
>> Sally: He loves you, Audra.
And he has faith
in your feelings for him.
That is not him taking you
for granted. That's trust.
>> Audra: Yeah, but it's being
shoved aside because he just
assumes I'll stick around.
You know, Devon's cut him out
of his life because he is sick
of Tucker's methods always
crossing the line.
Methods Tucker will continue to
use, claiming that it's on
Devon's behalf.
And he's just willing to throw
away everything he has with me
just to make things even worse
with his son.
>> Sally: But you don't know
that for sure.
>> Audra: But I know Tucker
and I know how he operates.
This thing is destined
for disaster.
And mind you, all of this
is happening right after
he already canceled my trip
for Ashley.
>> Sally: I still think you
might be conflating
the two situations.
>> Audra: And why shouldn't I?
Tucker has always taken me
for granted.
Everyone else always
comes first.
And I don't know why.
Does he think that I'm just
less important
or-- or more forgiving?
Or maybe he just assumes that
I am desperate, but I am not
having it.
>> Sally: Okay, so what--
what are you gonna do?
>> Audra: You know, maybe I'll
use our trip reservations,
go to Paris,
and turn the Glissade board of
directors against him
and convince them to appoint me
as his replacement.
That seems like a great idea.
>> Sally: You'd actually
go there?
>> Audra: Well, it wouldn't be
the first time I consider taking
his company away from him.
You know, Tucker thinks he has
all the power in this
relationship.
But I refuse to live with that.
I won't live with that.
I am done.
[ knocks on door ]
>> Abby: Hey,
do you have a second?
>> Lily: Uh, sure.
Come on in.
>> Abby: I just-- I wanted to
make sure you understood
the reason why I voted
the way I did.
>> Lily: I do.
I appreciate you bringing your
own perspective,
even if we disagree.
>> Abby: Well, I wish everyone
felt that way.
And no, I'm not referring
to Devon.
>> Lily: Who are you
talking about?
>> Abby: Daniel.
I ran into him and I told him
I voted against settling
the lawsuit with him.
>> Lily: Okay, um, I'm sure that
was hard, but you shouldn't
discuss board business with
people outside of the board,
especially someone that we're
in a legal battle with.
>> Abby: I understand, but I
only told him the way I voted,
nothing more.
>> Lily: Yeah, but, uh,
it's still confidential,
so you probably shouldn't share
that information.
But anyway, I'll, um,
I'll share something with you.
>> Abby: Okay.
>> Lily: Uh, Daniel came here
and was pleading his case again.
And I don't know,
it kind of got to me.
I know there's gonna be
a lot of bad publicity following
this trial, which is something
that we definitely
should avoid.
>> Abby: Yeah, it could get
pretty ugly before
it's all over with.
>> Lily: Yeah, so I'm trying
to find a way that we can maybe
have some middle ground and
avoid this whole legal battle.
>> Abby: Like what?
>> Lily: Um, I don't know,
maybe we do give him one
of the games and we keep
a portion of the revenue.
Maybe he's an outside
consultant and, you know, he
can make a cut of the profits.
Given that the platform is
performing really well right
now, it's a pretty good deal.
>> Abby: Yeah, that sounds like
a very fair compromise.
We have enough to deal with
the way everything's blowing up
right now.
>> Lily: And no doubt, it's only
gonna get worse from here.
>> Nate: Uh, hello, ladies.
>> Sally: Nate, good to see you.
>> Nate: You as well, Sally.
Uh, look, I hate to interrupt
your conversation, but do you
mind if I steal Audra away
for a minute?
>> Sally: Not a problem.
I actually have to run anyway.
Good luck.
>> Audra: Thank you.
So, uh, how much of that did
you hear?
>> Nate: Enough to know
that I'm not surprised.
I tried to warn you that Tucker
couldn't be trusted.
He'll always put himself and
his own interests first, Audra.
>> Audra: Okay, yeah.
>> Nate: You, not so much.
>> Audra: The last thing that
I need right now is your I told
you so speech, or the
implication that I'm a sucker
because you just wanna make
yourself feel better, so...
>> Nate: That's not my intention
at all, okay?
You are one of the sharpest
people I know, Audra.
So, what do you plan to do now?
>> Audra: Well, I'm deciding
whether to use our reservations
to fly off to Paris
without Tucker.
>> Nate: I have
a much better idea.
Why don't you skip the trip?
Stay.
Have dinner with me.
>> Tucker: That's really
surprising.
So, Jill has essentially
handed over power of the company
to Billy.
Huh.
And I'm sure he's wielding his
newfound power
all over the place.
>> Phyllis: All over
the country.
>> Tucker: What do you mean?
>> Phyllis: He's on a national
tour right now promoting
Chancellor-Winter's divisions.
>> Tucker: No fooling.
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: Uh, excuse me
a second.
>> Devon: Hi, can I get
a small decaf?
Thanks.
>> Tucker: Hey, um,
Billy is out of town.
So, it's the perfect time
to deal with him.
We could circumvent any trouble
he's planning to cause with
Jill's share of the company.
>> Devon: How do you know
that Billy's out of town?
That's not public information.
>> Tucker: Well, you know me.
I always have my ear
to the ground.
>> Devon: Ear to the ground.
Hang on a second.
Hey, Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: Hey.
>> Devon: How you doing?
>> Phyllis: Great.
>> Devon: Good.
Did you just happen to tell
Tucker about Billy's new
position and him going
out of town?
>> Phyllis: Excuse me?
>> Devon: Where'd you find out
about that?
>> Phyllis: Uh, from Billy.
>> Devon: From Billy?
And you just decided
to violate your
confidentiality clause?
>> Phyllis: Yep, I did.
>> Devon: Wow.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, and since
we're breaking rules here,
I might as well tell you I'm
very disturbed that you fired
the head of my division.
Not only that, to add insult
to injury really,
you stole his creations.
Who does that?
>> Devon: It's funny you should
bring that up, actually, 'cause
I was wondering how you would
even want to still work
at the company.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I was
wondering, too.
Uh, let me cut to the chase.
I'll save you the trouble.
I quit.
You don't have to fire me.
>> Devon: Really?
>> Phyllis: Your business,
by the way, is toxic.
>> Devon: That's good to know.
And I accept your resignation.
Thank you for making my job
a lot easier.
