>> Jack: Traci, let me know if
or when you hear from Ashley.
Uh, I'll do the same.
I love you.
>> Devon: Oh, my gosh,
I'm so sorry.
Jack, it's my bad.
It's my bad, my head was in
another place.
>> Jack: No, no, no, no, no.
Same could be said for me.
>> Devon: Work stuff for you?
>> Jack: Uh, mostly family.
>> Devon: Oh, man, I hope
everybody's okay.
>> Jack: Yeah, I do too.
But that's not anything
I wanna burden you with.
Tell me about you.
What's got you so distracted?
>> Devon: It's work, mostly.
It's, uh, I'm sure you know with
family businesses, the lines can
get a little blurry.
>> Jack: Yeah, tell me about it.
So, is my brother Billy making
it easier or harder for you
over at Chancellor-Winters?
>> Devon: Uh, he's...
uh, exciting is the word.
He's making it exciting.
>> Jack: Well now, there is
an evasive answer.
What's Billy done now?
>> Cole: Jordan.
>> Jordan: Victor.
I can't even get
a good night's sleep.
>> Cole: What the hell's
going on?
>> Jordan: Cole?
Cole, oh, my God.
Oh, my God, Cole, you've gotta
get me out of here.
♪♪
>> Nate: Never too early
for ice cream.
I hope you like vanilla.
>> Audra: What if I don't?
>> Nate: Uh, then I will have to
re-evaluate this whole
friendship.
'Cause it is the benchmark by
which I judge all
other flavors.
>> Audra: You know what,
I couldn't agree more.
If you can't make a good
vanilla, don't try to sell me
on your chocolate chip or
cookies and cream.
>> Nate: Hm, that is a relief.
>> Audra: Tell the truth.
It's the only flavor they had,
isn't it?
>> Nate: You got me.
>> Audra: So much for you
needing to get back to work.
>> Nate: I don't think the
company would go belly-up
if I'm a few minutes late.
>> Audra: Quite a different work
ethic from when you were burning
the midnight oil at Newman.
>> Nate: I had, um, other
reasons to work late then.
>> Audra: Yeah, I am aware.
>> Nate: Mind if
I ask you something?
>> Audra: Shoot.
>> Nate: Before you said, um,
you tried to bring out my bad
side, when you should've focused
on the good.
>> Audra: Yes, if I'd been
paying attention, I would've
seen the guy who gives it to me
straight about Tucker and buys
me ice cream before lunch.
>> Nate: I kind of got the sense
that you were-- you were talking
about yourself too.
That you're not this bad girl
you pretend to be.
You're ready to explore your--
your good side.
>> Audra: That's quite
a stretch.
>> Nate: So, there was no
self-reflection
in what you said.
>> Audra: Ah, I did all my
soul-searching in my 20s.
I indulged in self-improvement.
Okay, I'm done with all that.
I find it boring.
>> Nate: Okay.
You sure about that?
[ both laugh ]
>> Ashley: Really?
You're just gonna leave me
hanging here?
I know you're wounded.
And not just by me,
but by Audra.
I saw her with Nate.
Boy, she's moved on fast, huh?
Here you are, feeling raw
and vulnerable.
Once again, I'm telling you,
I'm wrong, I'm sorry.
Please forgive me,
please trust me.
Please trust in us.
Because no matter how many
years go by, we always come
back to each other.
It's the realest thing
we've ever known.
Come with me.
Let me remind you
how absolutely incredible
we are together.
>> Devon: I think it's pretty
funny that you assume that Billy
already did something.
>> Jack: Oh, I didn't mean
to assume the worst.
Billy has a unique
management style.
Sometimes, it ruffles
some feathers.
>> Devon: Oh, well,
that's nice to hear
it's not just with me
because we haven't really been
seeing eye to eye on a lot of
things lately.
>> Jack: Dare I ask what?
>> Devon: It's mainly the fact
that he's convinced Jill to hand
over all of her power to him
that's caused a bit of tension
in the office.
>> Jack: Wait, Jill has ceded
control to Billy?
>> Devon: She sure has.
Without telling me or Lily
before she did it, too.
And Billy says it was all her
idea, which I'm not buying.
>> Jack: This is not something
anyone could convince her of,
including her son.
>> Devon: I completely agree
with you, which is why I think
this is 100% Billy's doing.
The guy's been trying to
consolidate power ever since
he's come back.
>> Jack: I am shocked.
It is, after all,
called Chancellor-Winters.
Neil and this family
built something to be honored
and respected, as did Katherine.
And Jill has always led
with that in mind.
>> Devon: Yeah,
you're telling me.
I just don't think Billy sees
it that way.
>> Jack: I'm just surprised to
hear that, given his respect
for family.
>> Devon: Oh, I know he respects
his own, 'cause he wanted to add
your family name to the company.
Yeah, that's how much respect
he has for Neil and Katherine
and us and what we built.
The fact that he wanted to
rebrand the company to add
Abbott to it says everything
I need to know about that guy.
>> Tucker: Ashley, I'm not going
anywhere with you.
>> Ashley: Why not?
>> Tucker: Because this
isn't you.
>> Ashley: So we can recapture
what we had before it all
fell apart. I know we can.
>> Tucker: But it didn't just
fall apart, did it?
It blew apart.
Do you remember that?
>> Ashley: Of course, I do.
And I've asked you to forgive
me, so please forgive me so we
can move on.
>> Tucker: Except that it's not
just about the fight because
you've been ping-ponging back
and forth between wanting me
back and never wanting to see me
again since we've been back
from Paris.
>> Ashley: Losing you made me
lose my center, Tucker, okay?
So yes, I became volatile.
I tried to push you away.
I tried to tell myself I needed
to walk away from you, but how
could I walk away from my--
my soulmate?
I can't, and neither can you.
>> Tucker: No, no, that's a very
nice thought.
But, Ashley, there is something
seriously wrong here.
This is not about love.
You're going through something
right now.
And I just have to...
I'm sitting here watching
it happen and--
>> Jordan: Oh, thank God
you're here.
You're here, aren't you?
You're here, am I
hallucinating?
No, you're here, aren't you?
I mean, I've been hallucinating.
I've been-- I've been seeing--
I've been seeing rats
and spiders and I don't know
if they're here.
Maybe they're just running amok.
I don't know.
Let me hold you.
>> Cole: I'm not going anywhere
near you.
>> Jordan: Oh, oh, oh,
but you're here, aren't you?
I can see you.
Your dear mother would be so
happy that you're gonna get me
out of here.
My beloved nephew.
Oh, you're gonna get me out,
aren't you?
Aren't you, Cole?
Yeah, because-- because your mom
raised you the right way.
She raised you to be
a good man.
She raised you to understand
the importance of justice,
didn't she?
And you're gonna get me
out of here.
Do you have the key?
>> Cole: There is no key.
How did you get in here?
>> Jordan: Oh...
>> Cole: We heard that you
drowned in that river.
>> Jordan: No, no, no, no, no.
That was all Victor.
That was Victor.
He set everything up, okay?
And he's gonna keep me in here.
You see, I'm his trophy.
He comes down here to
gloat at me in all my misery.
So, you have to
help me find something.
Get something to get me
out of here, okay?
Why aren't you moving?
Come on, help me.
Help me, please.
Help me.
Get me out of here.
Hey, I-- I need some food.
I need some food, desperately.
I'm just caught down here.
Please, Cole.
Please help.
I've learned my lesson.
I'm-- I'm reformed.
And so if-- if you can get me
out of here, I'll-- I'll--
I'll leave town.
And I'll never return, okay?
Okay?
>> Cole: Do you think that
I would actually believe you
after everything
that you've done?
>> Jordan: Okay, then.
Call the cops.
On me, but on Victor, too.
He's insane.
Get me into an actual prison
because I can't
take this anymore.
>> Jordan: Did you hear me?
You can't just stand there.
Are you dense?
Do something.
>> Cole: I can't.
>> Jordan: Oh, ha, ha, ha.
>> Cole: And I can't call
the police either.
>> Jordan: Cole, I'm all
the family you've got left.
The Newmans drove your mother
to an early grave.
>> Cole: Claire and Victoria
are my family.
And you--
you took them from me once.
And you'll never stop trying
to do it again.
That I know.
>> Jordan: Well, you can't
just leave me here, can you?
>> Cole: I need time to think.
>> Jordan: There is no time.
I told you, Victor is a madman.
You come back here.
Cole!
Don't leave me here, oh, God!
I am not a caged animal.
>> Jack: Billy said that?
He wants to put our name
on your company.
>> Devon: Yes, Sir.
Wanted to call it Abbott-
Chancellor-Winters.
And he said that was
Jill's idea, too.
And judging from your response,
I'm gonna guess he never
told you about it.
>> Jack: No, that this is
the first I've heard of it.
>> Devon: Yeah, well,
I'm not surprised.
He was so busy, focused on his
power grab, that he never
thought about how his actions
could affect other people.
>> Jack: I hope it hasn't made
things untenable.
>> Devon: It's not fun.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Jack.
I think that Billy thrives on
conflict, which just fuels
his agenda.
But you wouldn't be able to
have a word with him and maybe
ask him to relax, would you?
>> Jack: Look, I am sorry
for all this tension,
but Jill putting her trust in
Billy, I mean,
that's a big deal.
And I can't agree with you that
he engineered that.
This is not something Jill
would do lightly.
>> Devon: So, I'll take that
as a no?
>> Jack: Look, you're all
professionals.
You'll find your way through
this, hopefully without the
Abbott name on your building.
>> Devon: Oh, yeah, we're not
gonna be adding that to anything
as long as I have a say,
which I do.
>> Jack: Look, let me give you
a little piece of advice
about Billy.
Any push for power
is usually insecurity.
He feels undervalued.
Maybe he feels you and your
family have not accepted him.
>> Devon: Well, he'd be right.
>> Jack: Perhaps there's
a disconnect in goals
and communication, or maybe it's
as extreme as you make it out
to be, but look, everyone at
Chancellor-Winters is looking
for a way to move
the company forward
and Billy now has to be part
of that vision.
Wait, you can set the tone.
Think of what Neil would do.
And I'm pretty sure that's
gonna be your best
step forward.
>> Audra: If you know me at all,
you would know I am seldom
unsure about anything,
especially of what I want.
>> Nate: Maybe.
>> Audra: Okay, I'll bite.
What is it you think you know
about me?
>> Nate: It's more about what
I don't know about you, Audra,
and what you don't know
about yourself.
I get the feeling that you're
still searching for something.
>> Audra: Yeah, a new job.
>> Nate: You're ambitious,
no doubt about that.
I'm-- I'm curious about what's
behind that drive.
I mean, you came to Genoa City
ready to take it by storm.
>> Audra: Yeah, I had an agenda,
driven by Tucker.
>> Nate: And maybe
by heartbreak.
>> Audra: You mean Noah Newman?
That was a lifetime ago.
>> Nate: Losing someone you love
can change you, Audra.
Trust me, I know it all
too well.
And it could take some time
to realize its impact.
But it can make you put some
walls around your heart.
>> Audra: Are we talking about
me or you and Victoria?
>> Nate: Could be,
or me and Elena.
I'm still figuring it out.
But I do know I used ambition
as a distraction.
>> Audra: It seemed more like
an aphrodisiac for you
and Victoria.
>> Nate: Hm, is that how it
works with you and Tucker?
Or is it transactional?
>> Audra: How did we get back
to Tucker?
>> Nate: I'm sorry,
I take it back.
I just hope this latest crash
and burn was a wake-up call,
Audra.
One that will stick this time,
because from where I sit,
everything with that guy is
transactional.
>> Audra: Or you're totally
off the mark.
And maybe this is
transactional.
You know, maybe I'm just
hanging out with you for the
ice cream and job prospects.
>> Ashley: So, that's it, huh?
I spill my guts to you,
and you're just gonna casually
observe me and my mental
health?
>> Tucker: That's not what I'm
doing at all.
>> Ashley: I know exactly what
you're doing.
You're trying to convince
yourself that I'm unbalanced,
right? So you can ignore how you
really feel about me.
But if you would just stop
fighting and come with me.
>> Tucker: And if you would stop
deflecting, you would see that
everybody around you right now
is trying to get through
to you.
Everybody's trying to help you.
>> Ashley: Being apart from you
is not helping me!
>> Tucker: I know you believe
that you're being sincere,
but it's coming from a broken
place, Ashley.
You need help.
>> Traci: Alan, I just don't
know what else to do.
>> Alan: Yeah, Ashley's, uh,
radio silence is concerning.
>> Traci: I can't get any sleep.
I just keep going over and over
in my head,
every interaction looking for
clues about what's going on
with her.
I mean, trying to figure out
what I could've said to-- to
coax her into getting treatment.
>> Alan: Well, I would tell you
that's pointless, but I've been
doing the same thing.
>> Traci: It's the worst,
isn't it?
>> Alan: Unfortunately, I am
well-acquainted with
second guesses.
It's a hazard of my profession.
>> Traci: Yes, I suppose it is.
So, here we are, two of us,
sitting in a psychotherapist's
office, waiting to be seen.
She decides she has to use
the ladies' room.
She never comes back.
Why didn't I know to not let
her out of my sight?
>> Alan: Well, one thing I have
learned is that people do not
seek help until they're ready.
>> Traci: Okay, but please,
no offense, but not a lot
of comfort there.
>> Alan: Well, I'm sorry for
the platitude.
>> Traci: No, I appreciate
the gesture.
>> Alan: Look, obviously,
you care a lot about Ashley,
and this is a lot to process,
so it's very understandable.
>> Traci: Jack!
Oh, good, you're home.
>> Jack: No word from Ashley?
>> Traci: No, nothing yet.
>> Jack: When was the last time
you saw her?
>> Alan: Well, we had lunch
together yesterday.
She was charming and seemed
to want to spend more time
with me. And then we had a
misunderstanding, and I haven't
seen her since.
And she's not been returning
my messages either.
>> Traci: Alan and I
have been talking.
I think our sister might be
worse off than we think.
>> Jack: In what way?
>> Traci: That's the
terrifying part.
Ashley's really unpredictable
right now.
She could go anywhere,
do anything, and it's because
she's literally not herself.
>> Ashley: You're such a coward.
Pretending to be a hero.
You're pathetic.
>> Belle: Yeah, now that's
better. Push him away.
We don't need him.
>> Ashley: You're so afraid
of how you feel about me.
That's why you ran to Audra,
isn't it?
>> Tucker: Let's leave Audra out
of this, shall we?
>> Ashley: She was a rebound
chick, wasn't she?
She didn't accept your marriage
proposal, so what else do you
need to know?
I heard all about it.
This big romantic gesture.
The big ring you wanted to give
her, but she's not wearing it,
so it doesn't take a genius
to figure out.
She doesn't want you.
She doesn't want what you want,
but I do.
She could never give you what
you need, but I can.
>> Nate: You're not working me
for a job.
We've established that would be
a waste of time.
>> Audra: Look, I know I burned
all my bridges at
Chancellor-Winters.
They may have forgiven you as
their cousin, but I'm definitely
persona non grata.
>> Nate: And there will be no
coup attempt, at least not with
the two of us planning it.
>> Audra: Who said anything
about a coup?
Just because Tucker says that
I'm out of a job at Glissade
doesn't mean I'm gearing up for
a hostile takeover.
>> Nate: Not at
Chancellor-Winters, at least.
>> Audra: What does that mean?
>> Nate: That means I think
you're up to something, Audra.
And I wouldn't be surprised if
it had to do with Glissade.
>> Audra: What makes you
think that?
>> Nate: Well, you did approach
me about joining you to make
a move against Tucker
a while back.
Or don't you recall?
>> Audra: Oh, I remember our
conversations very well.
>> Nate: So, call it an informed
hunch on my part.
Because in spite of you joking
around, you don't seem terribly
worried about finding
a new job.
So, that leads me to believe
that you have some kind of plan
in the works, or at least the
seed of one.
>> Audra: Something will
turn up.
I always land on my feet.
>> Nate: This is true.
Because you are extremely
desirable.
>> Audra: Hm, am I?
>> Nate: As an employee.
>> Audra: Is that all?
>> Nate: I'm just pointing out
that I'm not offering you power
or position.
And you know that.
And you're spending time
with me because you want to,
not because you're getting
something out of it.
>> Audra: Yeah.
No quid pro quo.
>> Nate: You seem to be
enjoying it.
And so am I.
But to be clear, I know we're
just friends. No strings.
>> Audra: Just ice cream.
>> Nate: Oh.
>> Audra: There you go.
>> Victoria: Anyway, does she
really have a bedtime?
Or are you just like, faking it?
>> Claire: I was not faking it.
>> Victoria: I'm sorry.
Oh, hey, there you are.
We just had the best
time ever.
>> Claire: We groomed
Midnight Blue.
Or should I say, Mom groomed
him and I watched.
>> Victoria: No, that's not
true. She was dying to help.
She practically ripped the
brush out of my hands.
>> Claire: There's just so much
to learn. I haven't even
gotten on a horse yet.
Would it be weird to say that
I love everything about
the stable?
Including the smell.
>> Victoria: No, it's not weird
at all.
It's wonderful.
>> Claire: It's just-- It feels
really familiar.
Even though I've never set foot
in one in my life.
>> Victoria: Well, I think maybe
you might be a natural.
You know, I'm just thinking.
She really bonded with Blue
and she hasn't even had her
first lesson yet.
I think that he really
responded to you.
>> Claire: Yeah, I mean, horses
are so thoughtful, aren't they?
>> Victoria: Yeah, well, don't
let it fool you.
I mean, it's not always smooth,
you know?
You have to earn their trust.
That's exactly what you were
doing, by the way.
>> Claire: I'm just excited for
an actual lesson.
>> Victoria: I know.
I know you are.
I think your father's probably
pretty excited too.
>> Claire: Dad?
You're awfully quiet.
>> Cole: Ah...
>> Claire: What's wrong?
>> Cole: Yeah.
>> Victor: Well, now, look at
this happy family.
>> Victoria: Hi, Daddy.
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
Even Cole came back
to the main house.
>> Victoria: What are you doing
up here, anyway?
I thought we were all gonna
meet down at a stables.
>> Victor: Yeah, did you get
lost?
>> Cole: Ah,
actually, I got caught up on a
call to England and I came here
to see if Victoria and Claire
would like to have lunch.
>> Victor: That's nice.
>> Claire: Works for me.
Turns out grooming is
really hard.
I worked up an appetite.
I'm actually starving.
>> Cole: All right.
>> Victoria: Yeah, that sounds
lovely.
>> Victor: Sounds healthy,
right?
>> Cole: That sounds great.
A two-hour drive.
>> Victoria: All right, sure.
>> Cole: Let's go.
>> Victoria: Daddy, do you wanna
come with us?
>> Victor: Sweetheart, I have
things to do.
>> Victoria: Okay.
>> Victor: Okay.
You enjoy yourselves, okay?
>> Victoria: All right, we will.
All right, sweetheart.
>> Cole: Let's go, let's go.
I actually skipped
breakfast myself.
Here, after you.
>> Lily: Nate, Audra.
>> Nate: Hey.
>> Audra: Hello, Lily.
>> Lily: Um, we have a call with
the business division.
Are you gonna be joining or are
you busy?
>> Nate: Uh, yes, I'll be there.
I was just, uh, taking
a little break.
>> Lily: Yeah, I can see that.
Well, don't be late.
>> Audra: Uh, definitely not
getting any job offers from her.
>> Nate: Lily really knows how
to make a point, doesn't she?
>> Audra: I mean, I can take it.
Your cousin doesn't like me.
>> Nate: Does it matter to you?
>> Audra: Not if it's not
a problem for you.
>> Nate: No, no.
There's only one issue I have.
>> Audra: What's that?
>> Nate: If I, um, spoiled your
appetite for lunch later, I was
hoping you'd join me.
>> Audra: You know, you clearly
need to get to know me better if
you think I can be deterred
by a scoop of vanilla.
>> Nate: So?
It's a date?
>> Audra: I'd be delighted.
>> Jack: Ashley's not herself
in what way?
How did you reach that
conclusion?
>> Traci: Alan, would you mind
explaining?
>> Alan: Sure, um...
Like I said, yesterday she was
charming at lunch
and then we went to Chancellor
Park and when I referred to the
namesake, she evaded as if she
couldn't remember.
>> Jack: You'll remember that
happened with us as well when I
asked how the two of you met.
>> Alan: Exactly.
She seems to have issues with
full recall of events
from her past.
>> Jack: Could that just be
a memory issue?
>> Alan: I don't think so.
Yesterday, she also tried to
kiss me and when I resisted,
she became petulant
and stormed off.
>> Traci: And she arrived at
home upset, very short with me.
>> Alan: Right, I followed
her here.
I tried to smooth things over.
She wouldn't engage, but then
I witnessed a pretty profound
personality shift.
All of a sudden she was calm,
cool, in control.
She shut me down, said our
friendship was over and then
she left.
>> Traci: And neither one of us
have heard from her since.
>> Jack: Okay, that is in line
with the personality shifts
we've witnessed.
Is it possible she just felt
rejected?
>> Alan: Well, I also had
an enlightening conversation
with Tucker.
>> Jack: I would prefer we leave
him out of this.
>> Alan: Well, I did not share
any of our concerns with him
despite his probing,
but he did share
some of his concerns.
He's also witnessed these
personality shifts, but there
was a specific event where
Ashley referred to herself in
the third person.
>> Traci: Yes, he's told us
about that as well.
>> Jack: And what do you think
that means?
>> Alan: Well, it's becoming
clear to me that we are dealing
with different personas here.
That Ashley has created to
protect herself but in
different ways.
>> Jack: Protect herself
from what?
>> Traci: Well,
that's the question.
And I'm so afraid of what
the answer might be.
>> Tucker: I understand you're
trying to provoke me
by bringing up Audra.
It's not gonna work any more
than talk of a future with you
is going to work.
You are not gonna dissuade me
from my knowledge that
something is wrong with you,
okay?
>> Ashley: What do I have to do
to convince you that I'm fine?
And that I mean every word
I'm saying?
>> Tucker: I can think
of one thing.
>> Ashley: Hm. Name it.
>> Tucker: See a legitimate
therapist.
>> Ashley: I did remember, Alan.
>> Tucker: Hey, come here.
Am I speaking to Ashley
right now?
I know it's difficult to hear,
but for me, it's been hard to
keep track lately.
>> Lily: Hey.
>> Devon: Hey!
Glad I ran into you before
we have this video call.
>> Lily: Yeah, me too.
I ran into Nate and Audra at
the park, looking very flirty.
>> Devon: Really?
They're just friends,
though right?
>> Lily: Oh, no, it seemed like
more than that.
As if we don't have enough
to worry about.
>> Devon: I don't think you need
to worry about
Nate's personal life.
>> Lily: Really?
If it's the woman who tried to
take us down with Tucker?
>> Devon: He wasn't involved
in that.
>> Lily: No, 'cause he had his
own scheme going on.
I mean, what if they team up?
>> Devon: They're not
gonna do that.
I don't think that Nate is dumb
enough to ruin his second
chance of being in the family
over her.
The way I see it, they knew
each other when he worked at
Newman, and they stayed close.
And he told us about them
hanging out.
It's not like he's trying
to hide their relationship.
So much as we don't like the
woman, if he wants to waste his
time with her,
it's his business.
>> Lily: I don't know,
I don't trust Audra.
And I don't know if I trust
Nate's instincts if he's drawn
to her.
>> Victoria: And after a few
lessons, we could probably do
a longer ride.
Maybe, uh, you'll be ready by
the time Katie comes home.
>> Claire: Yeah, so my kid
sister can leave me in the dust.
Doesn't she win ribbons,
dressage?
>> Victoria: Yeah, she does.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm sure she's gonna
be thrilled to show off for you.
But don't worry, I'll make sure
she takes it easy on you.
>> Claire: Hey, Dad, when you
worked in the stables, what was
your favorite thing about it?
Dad.
>> Victoria: I think your
father's like a million miles
away right now.
We must be boring him.
>> Claire: Oh, that's not
possible.
He finds us endlessly
fascinating.
Or you, at least.
>> Cole: No, no, no, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.
Uh, Claire's right,
Claire's right.
I just-- just enjoy hearing you
two talk and just seeing the
smiles on your faces.
So Claire, so what's next after
you master horseback riding?
>> Claire: I would hope
to get a job.
If Kyle had his way, I would've
started as Harrison's nanny.
>> Victoria: And I would
actually love nothing more.
I've been pushing for it,
actually.
I think that you're just so
good with kids. You really are.
And clearly,
Harrison adores you.
You two were so cute in the
park the other day with
the ducks.
>> Claire: Yeah, it would be
a dream job.
I'd do it for free.
>> Victoria: No, well,
I wouldn't go that far.
I mean, you deserve to be paid.
Childcare can be very
strenuous.
It's not always ice cream
and ducks.
>> Claire: Yeah, well, I know
that. And I'm sure Kyle would've
been more than generous, but
I said no.
>> Cole: What?
You just told us that that was
your dream come true.
>> Claire: It's not fair
to Summer.
>> Victoria: Well, I'd think
that she'd want
a nanny that Harrison likes as
much as he likes you.
>> Claire: Come on, Mom.
You know better than anyone
what Summer went through when
Harrison was missing.
>> Victoria: We know that.
She was terrified.
We all were, but everything's
back to normal now.
Harrison is home.
Jordan is gone.
>> Claire: Yes, but Summer
thought that I had something
to do with what Jordan did.
And I don't blame her.
She only knows the stories
she's heard about me.
>> Victoria: Well, that is
because she refuses to get
to know you.
And if she spent any time with
you at all, she would see that
there's absolutely nothing
to be afraid of.
>> Claire: And maybe that can
happen in time,
but I can't push it.
I think it'll take time for all
of us to realize that we're
finally safe.
>> Ashley: What are you even
talking about?
Of course, it's me.
>> Tucker: Is it?
>> Ashley: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: Because lately,
whenever I speak to you,
I think to myself,
"Which Ashley am I speaking to?"
>> Ashley: Oh, God.
What is it with you people?
>> Tucker: No, is it whoever
you are for that day.
>> Ashley: Oh, right.
So, I just changed my mind
and suddenly I'm a completely
different person.
Give me a break.
>> Tucker: This has gone on
too long now.
I'm not the only one who's
noticed it.
That's why your friend, Alan,
came to town, is it not?
>> Ashley: Alan said I was fine.
>> Tucker: Because he's
worried about you.
>> Tucker: No, he didn't.
>> Ashley: Alan said I was fine.
>> Tucker: You sent him away.
>> Ashley: You're right.
I did send him away.
You know why?
>> Tucker: Why?
>> Ashley: He wanted to do
something really inappropriate
with me and then
I made him leave.
>> Tucker: No, you sent him away
because you're afraid of what
he's gonna find out about you.
>> Alan: I just wanna stress
that this is my opinion based
on observation only.
She needs a-- a proper diagnosis
in the clinical setting.
>> Jack: Of course, and we
appreciate any insights you can
share with us.
>> Traci: Especially since we
couldn't get her to go see
a doctor.
>> Jack: Ashley has had issues
in the past. You know that.
>> Alan: Yeah, um...
you said that event was
different. Could there be
any similarities?
>> Jack: Completely different.
Wouldn't you agree?
>> Traci: Absolutely.
>> Alan: And when did you first
start noticing these changes
in behavior?
>> Jack: A while after she came
back from Paris, after the
struggle with Tucker.
>> Traci: Ashley stayed for
quite a while in Paris after
the fight with Tucker.
>> Alan: It's hard to imagine
something like this happening
as the result of a breakup.
>> Traci: Alan, I know that
we've both said that her
behavior was very different
in the past incidents,
but is it possible that this has
something to do with
the brain tumor she had?
Like a recurrence?
>> Alan: Well, um, she certainly
should have a full medical exam,
including a brain scan, but I--
I don't think this is a tumor.
The symptoms just don't fit.
>> Jack: You really don't think
this could've been triggered
by her marriage ending?
>> Alan: Well, it could've
played a role, but no, I think
it has to be something more
traumatic than that.
>> Jack: That some larger trauma
happened in Paris
after Tucker left?
>> Traci: And how are we gonna
find out what that is?
Ashley won't talk to any of us.
>> Claire: Between spending time
with the kids at the hospital
and Harrison, I feel like I've
found what it is I wanna do.
I've been reading into the
different schools of thought
about early childhood
education.
It's really fascinating.
There's so many different
theories about what works best,
and of course, different kids
need different things, so it
can take some time to find
the right one.
>> Victoria: Oh, yeah.
I mean, Katie and Johnny's
school is great like that.
They tailor the process to each
kid specifically, whereas Katie
has more essays, and Johnny
would have more project-based
assignments.
>> Claire: Yeah, exactly,
and then for younger kids,
there's the play-based approach
to learning.
I am seriously considering
pursuing a masters in early
childhood education.
>> Victoria: Ah, wow.
So what is the play-based
approach?
>> Claire: Okay, well, I'm
oversimplifying, but basically,
it's getting kids to learn
through doing, so they stay
engaged because they're having
fun, and they're using their
imagination.
>> Jordan: He comes down here to
gloat at me in all my misery,
and so if you can get me out of
here, I'll leave town,
and I'll never return, okay?
[ indistinct chatter ]
>> Cole: Uh, excuse me,
I'll be right back.
>> Claire: I've never felt so
passionately about anything
in my life.
>> Victoria: I just love seeing
you so happy.
>> Cole: Michael, it's Cole.
I need to see you.
How soon can you meet me?
>> Lily: Okay, you handle
the introduction and I'll pick
it up from there.
>> Nate: And I will cheer you on
from the sidelines.
Here to answer any questions.
What, I'm not late?
>> Lily: Barely.
>> Nate: I'm just trying to find
a work-life balance, okay?
Who doesn't need a little fresh
air every now and then?
>> Lily: I'm sure you can
understand why I don't like
the idea of you and Audra
getting cozy.
>> Nate: You act like it's some
scandal to see me spending time
with her.
I haven't kept our friendship
a secret.
I'm not offering her a job
here, okay?
Look, Audra's going through
a rough time and I offered her
my support.
>> Devon: Really?
Doesn't involve Tacker,
does it?
'Cause I hope she's not trying
to pull you into a battle
with him.
>> Nate: You have nothing
to worry about on any front.
We're hanging out because we
enjoy each other's company.
That's all.
Okay?
And as for her rough time, yes.
She broke things off
with Tucker.
>> Ashley: This wasn't the
romantic reunion I was
hoping for.
>> Tucker: Oh, well, I'm sorry
to disappoint you, but believe
it or not, I'm acting out of
concern and affection for you.
>> Ashley: Oh, please,
just save the BS.
>> Tucker: No, I'm not
gonna save it.
The real Ashley would want
to get help.
She would want to heal.
>> Ashley: God, I am so sick of
you and your sanctimonious crap.
Just take it and shove it.
>> Tucker: Stop running away
from this, Ashley.
Listen to me.
You are not safe.
>> Belle: You tried it your way
and you failed.
Now, let go.
>> Tucker: Hey.
What is wrong? My God.
Ashley, Ashley.
