>> Audra: Hey, girl.
>> Sally: Hey, wow,
you look fantastic.
>> Audra: Thank you.
>> Sally: No, seriously,
amazing.
That is definitely a date
outfit, if I ever saw one.
>> Audra: Well, let's just say
I too have plans this evening.
>> Sally: I knew you'd work
things out with Tucker, and now
you definitely look ready
for a night out on the town.
>> Audra: Actually,
you're mistaken.
I am going out to dinner with
someone, just not with Tucker.
>> Nate: Sorry to hear the board
meeting didn't turn out the way
you hoped.
>> Lily: Well, we probably
should've made sure we had
the votes before we called
the meeting.
>> Nate: There must be some way
to check Billy's power within
the company.
You know what?
I'm gonna brainstorm,
and I will look into our
legal options.
>> Lily: Well, no, no.
I don't wanna include lawyers
yet, but I do wanna make sure
we've explored
all the possibilities.
>> Nate: All right.
We will find a solution.
>> Lily: Thanks, Nate.
I'm glad I have your help.
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Lily: Hey.
Uh, I just brought Nate
up to speed on our board meeting
gone wrong.
>> Nate: Yes, it was, uh,
it was a good idea.
Too bad it didn't, uh, pan out.
>> Devon: Yeah.
Onwards and upwards, right?
>> Nate: Exactly.
Oh, speaking of which,
I need to head out.
>> Devon: Where you going?
>> Lily: You have plans?
>> Nate: Uh, I might as well
tell you in case you hear it
from someone else and it gets
misconstrued.
>> Lily: Oh, God.
What is it?
>> Nate: I'm taking Audra
out to dinner.
>> Lily: Ah, Audra?
>> Devon: Audra, really?
I thought Tucker
was with Audra.
Why you going out with her?
♪♪
>> Kyle: So, that's
where we're at.
What do you say?
Do we have a deal?
That's wonderful, Mr. Foley.
You won't be disappointed.
Good. Good.
I'm glad you agree.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Do not worry about my mother.
She will understand.
Thank you, Sir.
I'll be in touch.
Yes.
[ doorbell rings ]
Claire, come in. Come in.
I'm glad you could make it.
>> Claire: I was surprised
to get your message.
I got worried.
Is Harrison okay?
>> Kyle: Yeah, Harrison's fine.
And he's gonna be
even better going forward.
Thanks to you.
>> Tucker: Yeah, and how does
that help me?
Listen, I pay you
for information I don't
already know.
I already know Billy Abbott
is out of town.
I need dirt on him,
not flight information.
[ Diane sighs ]
Would you care to dance?
>> Diane: Oh.
>> Tucker: Hi.
>> Diane: Go away.
>> Tucker: No, I just wanted
to offer you my sincere
congratulations.
>> Diane: I'm not interested.
>> Tucker: But there's so much
to celebrate, Diane.
You got this new, big promotion.
Mrs. Co-CEO. All the exceptional
work you're doing at Jabot.
Brava.
Really?
Really.
You've-- you've conquered
this town.
Just as you'd hoped.
>> Kyle: I would like
to officially offer you
the position
as Harrison's nanny.
>> Claire: Are you sure?
>> Kyle: Yeah, the hours are
somewhat flexible since Summer
and I occasionally work
from home.
The pay is competitive.
>> Claire: My days are wide open
right now, and I don't pay rent,
so money isn't really an issue.
>> Kyle: And you'll be taking
care of the sweetest little boy
in the universe.
>> Claire: That I know.
He's adorable.
It would be great to have not
just a job, but a purpose.
You know, not just filing
papers somewhere for
a paycheck, but to help a kid
to grow up and thrive.
>> Kyle: So, what do you say?
Do we have a deal?
>> Claire: Absolutely.
When do I start?
>> Kyle: Tomorrow, if you can.
But if that's too soon,
then not a problem.
>> Claire: Tomorrow it is.
Thank you, Kyle.
This really means
the world to me.
>> Kyle: Yeah,
we're lucky to have you.
>> Claire: I have to thank
Summer, too.
Honestly, I'm surprised
and grateful that she changed
her mind.
Summer did change her mind,
right?
>> Sally: You're going out
with someone else as in dating?
>> Audra: It's just dinner.
>> Sally: Looking like that?
You were literally just about
to go to Paris with Tucker,
and he proposed to you.
You're in love with him.
>> Audra: Or at least
I thought I was.
>> Sally: So, now you're just
ready to move on?
>> Audra: Tucker and I have been
on this rollercoaster ride.
We fought and made up.
We were aligned and then apart.
Ups and downs, back and forth.
And now, the ride is over.
I am done.
>> Sally: Okay, yeah.
I mean, I guess there's no harm
in a casual night out.
>> Audra: Exactly.
You know, I just need a break.
I want something uncomplicated.
I just wanna have fun
and enjoy myself
and not stress about Tucker's
ex or where we stand.
>> Sally: Yeah, that's fair.
>> Audra: So, today it's just
dinner with Nate.
>> Sally: Nate?
You're going to dinner
with Nate?
>> Audra: Uh...
>> Sally: Okay, um...
I-- I-- I--
Sorry, I feel like
I have to ask.
Are you sure that you're okay
to do this?
It's not too fast?
>> Audra: Look, I am not wasting
another moment thinking
about Tucker.
>> Sally: But what about your
career and the company that you
two were gonna run together?
>> Audra: Look, I don't know
what my next move is.
I may still try and get a hold
of Glissade for myself.
To snatch it away from Tucker
would serve him right.
>> Tucker: No, I'm in awe
of you. Seriously.
>> Diane: Well, you should be.
But coming from you,
that's an insult.
>> Tucker: It isn't.
>> Diane: Hm.
>> Tucker: I love a good,
long con.
Oh, I beg your pardon.
Um, a hard-fought battle.
Right?
Diane Jenkins.
The ultimate story of
redemption. Of rebirth.
>> Diane: Are you done?
>> Tucker: What are you doing
here by yourself?
>> Diane: Um, not that it's any
of your business, but I'm
meeting a client who was
supposed to be here by now.
>> Tucker: So, Jabot seems like
it's in a good place right now.
>> Diane: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: The Abbott King
and Queen reigning over their
kingdom with their son,
the heir apparent, doing their
bidding by their side.
It's a nice, full
family enterprise.
>> Diane: All right, just stop.
Just stop.
All this blowing smoke without
an agenda is not your style.
So, let me be clear, Tucker.
I will not divulge any
information about my family
or our business to you.
>> Tucker: Would you do me
a little favor?
Answer a simple question?
>> Diane: Just hurry up.
>> Tucker: Is there any chance
that Billy might leave
Chancellor-Winters and return
to Jabot?
>> Nate: I'm not interfering
in Audra's relationship
with Tucker, okay?
This is dinner between
two friends.
Social, not professional.
>> Devon: Mm.
>> Lily: Hm.
>> Devon: I mean, I trust your
intentions here.
>> Lily: Yeah, but Audra's
a different story.
I mean, she is very
underhanded.
>> Nate: In certain
circumstances.
And trust I will not say a word
about Chancellor-Winters or our
current situation with Billy.
Nothing that could be used
against us.
>> Lily: Yeah, I think
discretion is best with her.
>> Nate: Point taken.
And look, I am genuinely happy
to be back here working with my
family again, so I am not
looking to mess that up.
>> Lily: Okay, good.
Enjoy your dinner.
>> Devon: Yeah, have fun.
>> Nate: Thank you.
You too.
I will see you later.
>> Lily: Mm-hmm.
Bye.
Well, that's a friendship
I didn't think would last.
>> Devon: Yeah, it seems
harmless enough, unless Tucker
has an issue with it.
'Cause that's a problem
nobody needs.
>> Lily: Yeah, we definitely
have enough on our plate
right now.
>> Devon: Yeah.
Oh, there's something
that you need to know.
Uh, Phyllis
no longer works for us.
>> Lily: What?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Lily: What happened?
>> Devon: I found out that she
divulged information about
Billy's new position to Tucker.
And I don't know if she did it
on purpose or not.
>> Lily: Oh, yeah.
Well, that's cause
for immediate firing.
>> Devon: Yeah, she actually
quit before I had a chance
to fire her.
>> Lily: Oh, that's better.
I mean, if she left on her own,
we don't have to worry about
the fallout.
I mean, I didn't think that she
would stick around that long
after Daniel left anyway.
>> Devon: Yeah, but it's not
like it was some well thought
out resignation either.
>> Lily: Well, what were she
and Tucker talking about Billy
for anyways?
>> Devon: Well, I went to Tucker
to find out what his original
plan was with Mamie to get a
foothold in Chancellor-Winters.
To see if there was any
information that we could use.
>> Lily: Wait, you went
to Tucker for help?
>> Devon: Yeah.
>> Lily: Please tell me that
we're not in so much trouble
that you need him to save us.
>> Diane: So, why are you asking
about Billy?
What's that angle?
>> Tucker: Just wanna know
his status.
>> Diane: Oh, wait.
Is this about another
takeover attempt?
If so, which business
this time?
Is it Chancellor-Winters
or Jabot?
'Cause it's kind of hard
to keep track.
>> Tucker: It's nothing
like that.
>> Diane: Then what is it?
>> Tucker: Just
looking out for Devon.
Doing whatever I can
to help him.
You would do the same thing
for Kyle, I'm sure.
>> Diane: Kyle can take care of
himself, but as far as I know,
Billy is content to work
for his mother's company.
>> Tucker: Hm.
So, there's no way he would come
back to Jabot?
>> Diane: Well, is there
a problem with him staying
at Chancellor-Winters?
Is there an issue between him
and Devon?
>> Tucker: Why would you
ask that?
>> Diane: Well, because you just
said that...
You know what, Tucker?
I can't help you.
In fact,
I don't wanna help you.
[ cell phone rings ]
Excuse me.
Oh, hello, Mr. Foley.
I was-- I was getting worried.
Will I see you here?
My son did what?
>> Kyle: Summer and I did have
another discussion
about hiring you.
>> Claire: A discussion isn't
an agreement.
Summer still isn't on board
with the idea, is she?
>> Kyle: I made my case as to
why you were the best choice
for Harrison's nanny.
Unfortunately,
Summer still has concerns.
>> Claire: Well, then
that's that.
If Summer doesn't feel
comfortable, she's his mother.
She should be at ease with
whoever her son's caretaker is.
>> Kyle: Listen, Harrison has
been having these nightmares
ever since he was kidnapped.
He still has this lingering
fear, but he's always worrying
about you, that you may be
having the same bad dreams.
>> Claire: Oh, that sweet kid.
>> Kyle: And Harrison cares
about you.
He wants you to be okay.
>> Claire: I want the same
for him.
>> Kyle: Right, and I feel like
seeing you on a regular basis
will help him.
Make him realize that he can be
happy after this whole ordeal.
You know, that you're both okay.
That he can go back to being
a kid and stop worrying.
>> Claire: I'd like to help him
to feel safe again.
Not just, you know,
do the things that he likes,
but to feel joy and to be silly
and goofy.
>> Kyle: And he needs someone
to do that with.
You know, a pal, an explorer,
a confidant.
Someone like you.
>> Claire: I really appreciate
the offer, Kyle.
And I would love to say yes.
But Summer has to feel safe.
Her son was taken from her.
She loves him and she wants
to protect him.
I can't undermine that.
So, unless Summer changes
her mind, I can't say yes.
>> Kyle: Okay,
I will work on Summer.
Claire, I just can't go another
day with Harrison worrying.
So, please reconsider.
Harrison needs you.
>> Audra: Evening.
>> Nate: Why, you look stunning.
I mean...
You always do, but tonight.
Wow, I'm sorry.
>> Audra: Thank you.
Ooh, you ordered for me?
>> Nate: Uh, yes, I-- I think
I remember what you like.
>> Audra: You do.
Nice job.
>> Nate: Thank you.
>> Audra: You know, I was
pleasantly surprised you finally
asked me to dinner.
>> Nate: Uh, it made sense since
I wanted to see you.
>> Audra: Okay, be honest.
Did you just not want me to go
to Paris with Tucker?
Were you looking
to protect me again?
>> Nate: Uh, you don't need
protection, Audra.
But I, uh, wanted to check
in with you more often.
You know, be a better friend.
>> Audra: Um, you're already
a decent friend.
>> Nate: A decent isn't
a ringing endorsement,
so I plan to work on that.
>> Audra: Oh, I'm okay
with that.
>> Nate: You know, I'm curious.
Um,
what's your current job status?
Are you still gonna work
with Tucker at Glissade?
>> Audra: I still haven't
decided yet.
>> Nate: Good.
Take your time.
Figure out what's best.
>> Audra: Yeah, um, I'm sure
we can find a topic that isn't
about my career plans.
>> Nate: Okay, understood.
So, uh, what would you like
to talk about?
In the past, we discussed, uh,
company takeover attempts.
We tried to suss out each
other's ulterior motives.
>> Audra: Yeah, you've, uh,
you've offered me warnings.
Um, and I've pushed you to go
further, to be more ruthless.
Like me.
>> Nate: You know, uh, how about
we ignore business altogether?
Keep it purely personal.
>> Audra: Novel idea.
>> Nate: Hm. Well, a toast.
Not to power or success,
but to the ambiance.
>> Audra: Hm.
>> Nate: Food.
>> Audra: Yep.
>> Nate: And, uh,
most importantly, the company.
>> Audra: Cheers.
>> Devon: Going to Tucker was
just a spur of the moment thing.
And I realized right afterwards
why I don't go to him
with my problems.
So, I promise you, we're gonna
handle this crisis just like
we have in the past.
And we'll do it without
Tucker's help.
>> Lily: We don't need any more
complications.
Especially with Tucker.
>> Devon: I completely agree
with you.
Hi.
>> Lily: Oh, flowers?
>> Devon: Oh, flowers.
>> Lily: Wow.
>> Devon: Uh, here,
wanna take these?
>> Lily: So pretty.
>> Devon: There you go.
Thank you.
Who sent flowers?
>> Lily: I don't know.
Oh, wait.
They're for both of us.
That's weird.
>> Devon: Who's it from?
>> Lily: "I hear your little
plan to box me out didn't work.
Looking forward to working
together. Best, Billy."
>> Devon: Are you serious?
How mature of the guy.
>> Lily: Oh, my God.
I mean, we did go behind
his back.
>> Devon: Who cares?
They went behind ours first.
And I'd do it again if it means
getting rid of Billy Abbott.
>> Lily: God, I mean, this is
so obnoxious.
>> Devon: Well, yeah, tell me
about it.
>> Lily: But we had every right
to not loop him in.
I mean, he's around right now
trying to gain power within our
company offices.
>> Devon: Probably gathering
forces to use against us.
>> Lily: God, I just--
I feel so betrayed by Jill.
That she would make this
decision unilaterally to hand
over all of her power to Billy.
It's like I feel like I can't
trust either of them anymore.
>> Devon: I know what you mean.
I'm just glad that you feel the
same way I do about Billy being
a threat to the company.
I just wish this damn vote went
our way.
>> Lily: Well, look, don't be
too upset with Abby.
I kind of get why she voted
against us.
>> Devon: Well, I'm not upset.
I'm just disappointed
in the whole thing.
>> Lily: What do you mean?
You regret putting Abby
on the board?
>> Audra: Okay, so boarding
school in England and then
medical school at Johns Hopkins.
Uh, fancy, fancy.
>> Nate: All right.
You wanna continue to go
through my resume.
Go ahead. Make fun.
>> Audra: Oh, I'm not, much.
Uh, did you do any traveling
while you were abroad?
>> Nate: Uh, some.
I ran around on the weekends.
Uh, I also swam as a kid,
so that kept me busy.
>> Audra: Competitive swimming?
>> Nate: Of course.
What's life without
competition, Audra?
>> Audra: You know, growing up,
I actually did some
dance competitions.
>> Nate: No, you did not.
>> Audra: Yes, I did.
>> Nate: What was your
specialty?
>> Audra: Well, you know,
I'm good at everything, um...
but specifically, lyrical.
>> Nate: Lyrical?
Okay, what's that?
>> Audra: Uh, flowing movements,
expressive,
emotional storytelling.
Which I later channeled into
my focus on visual art.
>> Nate: Wow.
>> Audra: Are you impressed?
>> Nate: Very.
I hadn't realized how many
hidden talents you have.
>> Audra: Oh, we've barely
scratched the surface.
>> Tucker: Sorry to interrupt.
Um...
>> Audra: Um, I'm busy,
obviously.
>> Tucker: I know.
Can we go somewhere
to talk privately?
>> Audra: Look, I already said
everything that I needed to say
to you.
Uh, and I'm busy.
>> Tucker: You obviously did not
go to Paris without me, and that
has to mean something.
>> Audra: Yeah, it means that
I-- I wanted to stay to have
dinner in Genoa City.
We already said everything
there is to say and I made
myself clear.
>> Tucker: No, please,
can we go somewhere and talk?
>> Audra: This has been
so lovely.
Will you accompany me back to
the Athletic Club for a drink?
>> Nate: Don't mind if I do.
>> Audra: Let's go.
[ knock on door ]
>> Summer: I guess I should
congratulate you
on your new job.
Good for you.
>> Claire: I didn't accept
the position.
>> Summer: Then, what are you
doing here?
>> Claire: I was hoping to
discuss with you why I said no,
if you'll listen.
[ Summer sighs ]
>> Summer: If we're gonna have
this conversation, then
I'm gonna need a drink.
>> Diane: There you are.
Are you having a drink to
celebrate humiliating
your mother?
>> Kyle: Hm.
There's was no humiliation, Mom.
>> Diane: Oh, I beg to differ.
I had a meeting tonight
with Jasper Foley to discuss
a licensing agreement.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I'm aware.
>> Diane: Oh, really?
Well, are you aware that I was
waiting for him at the club
when he called to cancel
because apparently my son
had already sealed the deal?
>> Kyle: That is correct.
I pulled off an impressive coup
for Jabot and I saved you
from a boring dinner
with an entitled eccentric.
>> Diane: Oh, no, no, no.
I don't need saving
from a business client, Kyle.
Who I need saving from is you.
>> Summer: Okay.
Go ahead.
Say your piece.
>> Claire: I saw Kyle earlier,
and he offered me the position
as Harrison's nanny.
Of course, when he did that,
I assumed you were on board.
>> Summer: Yeah, I'm not.
>> Claire: And he admitted that
eventually.
I really wanted to accept, but
I couldn't, knowing that you
didn't approve.
>> Summer: You turned the job
down because of me?
>> Claire: How could I not?
You've been through enough
already.
It must've been absolute
hell for you
when Jordan took Harrison.
>> Summer: You have no idea.
>> Claire: I know that I've
caused you pain with the trauma
that I inflicted on your family,
and now I'm a reminder
of Harrison's abduction.
I don't wanna make things
harder for you
than my presence already has.
>> Summer: I appreciate that.
>> Claire: I do feel lucky
to know Harrison.
He's adorable and he's
so kind.
And I'm really grateful that
he doesn't seem to blame me
for the trauma he's experienced.
He sees me as an ally.
We're the two heroes
who survived the wicked witch.
>> Summer: Look, I-- I know that
Harrison likes you,
but it doesn't mean that
it's healthy for him to be
around you.
>> Claire: You're his mother.
It's your call.
I just wanted you to know that
it would be more than a job
to me.
I care about Harrison.
I would like to be there
for him if I can.
Be a part of his support system.
But only if you approve.
>> Tucker: Hi, Sally.
>> Sally: Hi.
>> Tucker: Um...
do you have a minute?
>> Sally: You know, I actually
don't think I do.
>> Tucker: That's too bad.
I could use some advice
right now.
>> Sally: We don't really know
each other that well.
>> Tucker: Yeah, that's true.
>> Sally: Yeah.
>> Tucker: But you know Audra.
You guys are friends.
I-- I was hoping you could help
me with that.
>> Sally: I'm not gonna betray
Audra's confidence, if that's
what you're asking.
>> Tucker: No, no, no.
I just would like to hear
that I haven't blown things
completely with her.
>> Sally: I don't think
you have.
>> Tucker: Yeah.
I don't know how much she's
told you, but the circumstances
seem to have conspired against
us recently
and I don't blame her at all
for being upset about it.
I'm not happy about it either.
But now, I don't know if
there's something going on
with her and Nate.
>> Sally: It-- it--
it's just dinner.
I really don't think you can
make too much out of it.
>> Tucker: Well, if she's doing
it to make me jealous,
she's succeeding.
I love her.
Am I losing her?
>> Sally: I think there's hope
for the two of you.
But you have to make a change.
If you don't wanna lose Audra,
you have to get
your act together.
>> Audra: I'm sorry to cut
our dinner short.
>> Nate: No, no.
No apology necessary.
At least, not from you.
Tucker has never known
when to back down.
>> Audra: I still appreciate
your understanding.
You've been very patient.
>> Nate: Have I?
>> Audra: Yeah, I-- I finally
realized your warnings about
Tucker were valid.
Took me long enough.
>> Nate: Well, it's better late
than never.
>> Audra: I'm not gonna let him
take advantage of me anymore.
I am ready to let him go.
>> Nate: I'm happy to hear that.
For your sake.
Well, um, tonight was fun.
Let's do it again
sometime soon.
>> Audra: Yeah, I agree.
But,
we don't have to end it here.
Not when we were having
so much fun.
>> Nate: Okay, uh,
what do you suggest?
>> Audra: Well, we did come back
here for a nightcap.
Why not up in my suite?
>> Devon: No, I don't regret
putting Abby on the board
at all. I respect her
and her business sense.
I just wish I had
a conversation with her
beforehand.
>> Lily: Yeah, that would've
been smart.
>> Devon: Yeah, probably.
But, I will not be making
that mistake again.
I will not be surprising you
or her with crucial decisions.
We all have to be
on the same page.
>> Lily: Yeah, I agree.
Uh, did Abby tell you
that she revealed her board vote
about Daniel's case to him?
>> Devon: She did.
And we had a conversation and I
told her that any and all
information from board meetings
stays private.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Devon: It does.
>> Lily: Well, in the spirit
of full disclosure,
I'm rethinking Daniel's lawsuit
and I wanna try to find
some middle ground with him.
>> Devon: Really?
Well, that's your choice
to make.
>> Lily: Yeah, but this mess
with Billy takes precedence.
>> Devon: I agree.
And the way I see it,
we have two options.
We can either force him out
or we can do together what I was
trying to do on my own back
when we were talking
about the IPO.
>> Lily: You mean take Winters
back from Chancellor-Winters?
>> Devon: Exactly what I mean.
We kill the merger and you
and I leave Chancellor behind.
>> Kyle: Please,
don't overreact.
>> Diane: Oh, I think
my reaction is perfectly
reasonable.
You hung me out to dry.
I sat in the lounge waiting
for a business client that you
knew was never going to show!
>> Kyle: Oh, that wasn't
supposed to happen.
Foley was supposed to cancel,
tell you sooner. Mom,
I'm sorry about that.
>> Diane: And-- and that's what
you're sorry about?
Not about the fact that once
again you went behind my back?
>> Kyle: The deal's made.
Who cares how it went down?
And when Dad gets home,
you can go ahead and take credit
for it.
>> Diane: Kyle, I don't wanna
take credit for something
I didn't do and I would never
tell your father that I did.
>> Kyle: So,
what do you want from me?
>> Diane: I want you to tell me
why you keep doing this.
Why you keep taking steps
to sabotage me and then act
like nothing's happened.
>> Kyle: It's not my fault
how things went down.
Okay.
Truth is, Foley came to me.
He wanted to make a deal,
but he didn't think you had
the chops to negotiate it.
>> Diane: Oh, please.
He didn't think so?
Or you didn't?
>> Summer: I respect that you
care about Harrison.
And of course, I want my son
to feel safe and reassured.
I'm just not okay with it being
because of you.
>> Claire: Is there anything
I can say to change your mind?
>> Summer: I don't think so.
I understand that everyone else
is ready to let go of all
of the horrible things that you
did to them, but I can't.
>> Claire: It's part of
the reason why I want this job.
To do something good,
to make up for all of the bad.
>> Summer: Claire,
you lied to my family.
For months, you pretended
to be someone else.
You tricked my grandma.
You held her hostage.
You destroyed her sobriety.
You poisoned my dad
and my grandpa.
People could've died
because of you.
>> Claire: I can't deny my part
in any of that.
>> Summer: What would you do
if you were in my position?
Would you allow your child
to be in the care of someone
who's done all of the things
that you have?
>> Claire: I don't know.
But I do know
I'm a different person now.
I'm so much better.
I'm not a threat to Harrison
or to you.
Or to anyone else.
>> Summer: I'm sorry.
I just don't believe that.
>> Lily: You know, back when
Chancellor was my sole
responsibility, I really
believed in this partnership.
And I fought really hard
to keep it on track.
>> Devon: Yeah?
How you feel now?
>> Lily: Now?
I don't know.
I kind of regret it.
Especially now that Jill has
pulled the rug out
from underneath us
with this whole Billy thing.
>> Devon: Yeah, but you know
you can't blame yourself
'cause we never could've seen
this coming.
>> Lily: I mean,
how do we fix this?
>> Devon: We get out.
We take Mamie's suggestion
and we split the company in two.
Billy even supported that idea.
And that way he can go and run
Chancellor exactly the way he
wants it and you and I can run
Winters together.
>> Lily: No, it's not gonna be
that easy.
Jill really believes in keeping
this merger in place and Billy
is gonna follow suit.
>> Devon: Okay, well then we
force his hand and convince
him otherwise.
>> Lily: Actually,
we may not have to
force his hand if we have
the right incentive.
>> Audra: Salud.
Mm.
>> Nate: Mm.
It's very nice.
>> Audra: Glad you like it.
It's Tucker's.
The most expensive one.
>> Nate: Hm.
Good choice.
>> Audra: You know, I was gonna
pour it down the drain out of
spite, but this is much better.
>> Nate: You know, I don't, uh,
I don't think Tucker
would like this.
>> Audra: What?
>> Nate: Uh, me drinking
his scotch.
Being here with you.
>> Audra: Yeah, no, he-- he
wouldn't like it at all.
And I don't care.
>> Nate: Hm.
Maybe we should stop talking
about Tucker.
>> Audra: Yes, please.
Let's...
[ knock on door ]
>> Tucker: Audra?
>> Audra: Are you--
Please, do the honors.
[ knock on door ]
Audra, please open up.
>> Lily: There's another reason
we need to fight Billy and Jill
on this.
>> Devon: What's the reason?
>> Lily: Billy tried to persuade
me to push you down
to a secondary role
so that he and I could run
the company together.
>> Devon: All right, why didn't
you tell me about that?
>> Lily: Because it was
outrageous and I wasn't gonna
agree to it.
And I didn't wanna create drama,
but I mean,
that's happened anyway.
>> Devon: Did you consider it?
>> Lily: No.
>> Devon: No?
>> Lily: No, no, no.
I mean, I thought it was
ridiculous.
>> Devon: I bet, 'cause it
sounds insane.
>> Lily: But there might be
a way we can use this idea
to our advantage now.
>> Devon: How?
>> Lily: Well, what if I go
to Billy and I tell him
I changed my mind and that
I will join him,
but with one condition.
That we let the Winters side go.
>> Devon: And you think that
would work?
That they would let go
of Winters to keep you
at Chancellor?
>> Lily: Yeah.
I mean, Jill would want me
around because she knows that
Billy's a wild card and that
I can help balance him out.
Billy would want me there
because he doesn't wanna
handle the day-to-day things.
It's a perfect trade for both
of them.
>> Devon: Hm.
And then I guess Billy
can do whatever he wants
with the company.
>> Lily: Yeah, and then you have
the Winters side and you're
in charge.
>> Devon: And then what happens
after we pull that off?
You gonna ditch them and you
and Nate are gonna come
work with me?
>> Lily: Yeah, and leave Jill
and Billy to their own devices.
And then we can have
our family company.
>> Devon: I mean, yeah,
that could work.
[ Lily laughs ]
>> Lily: Oh, my God. Isn't it
funny how we've come full circle
to Mamie's idea?
Maybe we should offer her
a role at our true
family company.
>> Devon: Mm, yeah, we can
think about it after we succeed.
But there's no guarantees.
>> Kyle: It's not my fault
people are aware you don't have
a business degree
and little to no experience
in the industry.
>> Diane: Oh, but I do have
experience.
In fact, I have many, many more
years of experience
as a working professional
than you do.
Plus, I have Jack Abbott's
complete support and confidence
which matters very much
in the business community.
>> Kyle: Okay, I don't
wanna argue.
It's not my fault
what the corporate world
thinks of you.
>> Diane: Yeah, but you don't
support me or defend me.
You just try to--
try to undermine me.
>> Kyle: Oh, that's ironic
coming from you.
>> Diane: What does that mean?
>> Kyle: You always try
to keep me down.
Aim to knock me down
a peg or two.
Make sure I never have enough
autonomy or power.
Isn't that what you're really
after, Mom?
>> Diane: How can you say that?
I have been your biggest
champion at Jabot.
I even tried to step down
so that you could become
co-CEO again,
so don't you dare. No, don't
you dare try to turn this
around on me.
We both know what's happening
here, Kyle.
And I love you,
but it has to stop.
>> Kyle: Whatever you say.
>> Diane: Oh. [ laughs ]
Oh, and another thing, do not
finalize the Foley deal.
Consider that a direct order
from your superior.
>> Kyle: Love you too, Mom.
Marjorie.
Hi.
Just wanna make sure you saw
the Foley deal come through.
Please draw up those papers
first thing in the morning.
It's a done deal
and it's going through.
>> Tucker: Audra,
what are you doing?
What's he doing here?
>> Nate: I was invited.
How about you?
>> Tucker: Hey.
We need to talk.
>> Nate: I think she's made it
pretty clear she has no interest
in speaking to you, Tucker.
>> Tucker: Sorry
if I disappointed you.
>> Nate: Look, look, look,
I don't care about what happened
between you two, but whatever
it was, it was the last straw.
>> Tucker: Please.
>> Nate: Tucker, Audra wants
nothing more to do with you.
So, if you were smart,
you'd accept that
and walk away with what's left
of your dignity.
