>> Summer: I've heard, um, some
buzz about a deal between Jabot
and Jasper Foley,
is that confirmed?
>> Kyle: Uh, the details are
still being ironed out,
but it's in the works.
>> Summer: That's major,
he's a legend.
>> Kyle: It will be
a significant asset.
The licensing of his products
is in our best interest.
>> Summer: Yeah, of course,
nobody could think otherwise.
>> Kyle: Well,
you may be surprised.
>> Summer: What does that mean?
>> Kyle: They haven't called.
>> Summer: What?
>> Kyle: Claire and Harrison
haven't called because
everything's fine,
so don't worry.
>> Summer: I don't know
what you're talking about.
I'm checking my phone
for work messages.
>> Kyle: Hmm, right.
>> Summer: It's her,
it's Claire.
Something's obviously wrong.
♪♪
>> Jack: Hi.
>> Nikki: Oh, Jack.
Thank you for meeting me
on such short notice.
>> Jack: I'm sorry I didn't
respond to your text right away.
I was in the middle
of something.
>> Nikki: Oh, I hope I didn't
take you away from something
important at Jabot.
>> Jack: No, no, no.
It was personal,
nothing business.
It's all been settled now.
>> Nikki: I can read you
better than you think.
What's going on?
>> Victor: Hello, Diane.
>> Diane: Victor,
what a surprise.
>> Victor: Were you trying
to hide from me?
>> Kyle: Don't panic.
Claire sent a photo.
>> Summer: It's Harrison
with the caterpillars.
>> Kyle: He wanted her
to tell us they're still, quote,
"munching along".
>> Summer: Look at the way
that he's pointing at them.
>> Kyle: Like one of the Price
is Right models.
You feel better?
>> Summer: I'm just so glad that
Harrison's okay.
After everything that he's been
through, he's still himself.
>> Kyle: He's resilient.
Thank God for that.
It's amazing how just a picture
of him can turn my whole
day around.
>> Summer: I know, right?
I didn't even know what that
was like before Harrison
came along.
>> Kyle: Yeah, so, clearly,
he and Claire are having fun.
So, we can stop worrying.
>> Summer: It was nice of her
to message us.
>> Kyle: Does this mean you've
changed your mind about Claire?
Do you feel better about Claire
being Harrison's nanny?
>> Claire: There were so many.
That was so cool.
>> Harrison: I know.
Did they like it?
>> Claire: Yeah, I think your
parents really appreciated
the update.
That was so thoughtful.
Hey, you know, we could start
a log to keep track of
the caterpillar's progress.
>> Harrison: Have you ever seen
a caterpillar turn into
a butterfly?
>> Claire: In fact, I have.
There were caterpillars
in the backyard where I grew up,
and I watched them build
their cocoons.
And then, I waited.
And I waited.
>> Harrison: Waiting is hard.
>> Claire: You're telling me.
I was worried the day was never
gonna come or that
I would miss it.
And then one day, I was sitting
outside when I had just about
given up, and I heard crunch,
crunch, crunch.
So, I turned around,
and then I saw it.
A butterfly made its way out,
and then took off flying
through the sky.
>> Harrison: Wow!
>> Claire: Yeah, it's pretty
cool, isn't it?
I mean, they start out
just crawling around,
and then they go to sleep
for a really long time.
And then, one day,
they've grown wings,
and they can fly.
It's a metamorphosis.
>> Harrison: A meta-what?
>> Claire: Metamorphosis.
It means change.
I feel really hopeful when I see
something like that.
You know, you start off
as one thing, and then
you become something else.
>> Harrison: You're so lucky.
Daddy said I have to be patient.
>> Claire: Well, good things
come to those who wait.
Or so I've been told.
>> Harrison: I hope it happens.
Then we can see the butterflies
together.
>> Claire: Yeah!
>> Jack: First, tell me
why you reached out.
What's going on?
Did you feel the urge to drink?
>> Nikki: Oh, no, no.
Just the opposite.
I was calling to share some
news with you, but it starts
off bad.
>> Jack: Okay,
I'll brace myself.
>> Nikki: Jordan has been found.
Alive.
>> Jack: Wait, she survived
the fall into the river?
She can't be in very good shape.
Please tell me she hasn't hurt
anyone else.
>> Nikki: No, no.
She's in custody, locked up
in a maximum security.
>> Jack: Good.
How are you dealing
with that news?
>> Nikki: Well, it was quite
a shock.
I would rather she be gone
for good.
>> Jack: Yeah, given what she
did to Harrison and Claire,
that makes two of us.
>> Nikki: The last time I got
news like this, it drove me
straight to the bottle.
But this time,
I didn't feel the need.
>> Jack: So what do you think
was different this time?
>> Nikki: Well, I had
my outpatient session earlier,
and I shared at a meeting.
I'm just feeling more grounded
than I have been.
>> Jack: Wonderful.
It's real progress.
Thank you for sharing
that progress with me.
>> Nikki: I put a lot on you.
I thought it would be nice
for you to hear something good
for a change.
>> Jack: I'm very proud of you.
>> Nikki: So, at this moment,
I am stable enough to hear what
you clearly don't wanna tell me.
>> Jack: When you asked for my
help earlier, I immediately,
automatically said yes.
>> Nikki: This is about
you being my sponsor?
>> Jack: Yes.
I've given that idea
some more thought.
>> Nikki: Because of the lengths
you went to save me
that night,
I completely understand.
Are you trying to tell me
that you can no longer
be my sponsor?
>> Victor: Your husband
put my wife in danger.
He, um...
spent the night with her.
In her hotel room, he got
drugged up and she got sloshed.
What's your opinion about that?
>> Diane: Well, it was--
it was a complicated night,
but Jack ended up in more danger
than Nikki.
I mean, he passed out.
She didn't.
>> Victor: So he told you
about all that?
>> Diane: Yes,
we don't keep secrets.
>> Victor: So you knew where he
was all night, and you knew that
he took pills and acted
like an idiot?
>> Diane: Jack had his reasons.
He-- he wanted to get Nikki
to go to rehab.
>> Victor: He could've killed
them both.
>> Diane: Victor, he did what he
thought was best in the moment.
>> Victor: Let's
recapitulate this.
Your husband spends all night
with my wife in a hotel suite.
He takes pills,
gets all hopped up,
she is sloshed.
And you don't think
that's a betrayal?
>> Summer: Don't push me.
>> Kyle: That's not
what I'm doing.
>> Summer: You are.
I-- I just saw an adorable photo
of our son.
You are taking advantage
of my warm and fuzzy mood.
>> Kyle: Okay, forget I said
anything.
>> Summer: Look, yes.
Fine.
I would like to let go
of my mistrust of Claire.
But it takes time.
>> Kyle: I see you're trying.
I appreciate it.
I know it's hard for you.
>> Summer: I know it's not all
about me.
After Harrison's kidnapping,
he deserves to be around
somebody that makes him
feel safe and secure.
And who makes him smile.
And Claire does that.
>> Kyle: And if you have doubts,
just take a look at this
happy kid.
>> Summer: Okay.
I will try to embrace
your certainty.
Just give me a little
breathing room, okay?
>> Kyle: Will do.
>> Summer: Gosh.
All right, now that we have
proof that our son is okay,
should we maybe stop slacking
off and head to work?
>> Kyle: Do we have to?
>> Summer: Is there something
that you're avoiding
at the office?
Wait, whatever happened between
you and your mom,
did you smooth all
of that over?
>> Kyle: Definitely not.
It's bad.
It's tense.
Awkward.
She thinks I'm undermining her.
>> Summer: Are you?
>> Kyle: My skill set is
stronger than hers.
I one-up her
without even trying.
If she was actually on top of
everything, this wouldn't
happen.
>> Summer: I don't disagree
with you.
Look, as long as you're not
making underhanded moves
behind her back,
you should be fine.
Kyle?
Are you?
What have you done?
>> Diane: Jack was in that hotel
suite to stop your wife
from drinking.
He wanted to do whatever
it took to get Nikki sober.
>> Victor: He could've killed
my wife.
All because of his desperate
need to act like a hero.
>> Diane: Well, it was a
calculated move on Jack's part.
I-- I think what he did
was selfless.
>> Victor: You really
believe that?
You're trying to convince
yourself.
If I were you, Diane.
I'd take a very close and cold
and hard look at the man
you married to
before he ruins your future.
>> Jack: Believe me, I do not
take this decision lightly.
I wish I could stay on
as your sponsor, but I have
to accept that this impacts
you and my family.
>> Nikki: Of course.
Family first.
Kyle and Diane need to know
that you're safe.
>> Jack: Diane was terrified
by what I did.
Not just staying out all night,
but finding out I was with
you and that I overdosed.
>> Nikki: I'm surprised she's
still speaking to me.
>> Jack: No, she's happy that
you found help.
She is devastated by my choices.
>> Nikki: It was awful for me
to see you like that.
I'm sure it was equally
devastating for her to hear
about it.
>> Jack: She thinks it's gonna
happen again, and I tried to
reassure her, but as you know,
we addicts cannot guarantee
anything.
>> Nikki: True.
Now, Jack, I just wanna ask you
one more time.
Please be honest.
Have you really not been
tempted to take any pills
since that night?
>> Jack: I will admit it was
a heady experience.
But no, I have not had
another pill.
I've gone to meetings.
I've gotten in touch
with myself.
I've tried to be as honest
with myself as I can be, and...
>> Nikki: And what do you find?
>> Jack: I don't wanna take
that risk again.
I've got too much to lose.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm glad you
have your priorities straight.
I did not,
until you snapped me out of
my self-pity and self-hatred.
>> Jack: Yeah, I knew that
wasn't you in the moment.
I knew that was your addiction
talking.
>> Nikki: You risked your
sobriety and life to save mine,
and I will be forever indebted
to you.
My God, what does it say about
me that I would do it all again
in a heartbeat?
>> Nikki: And that is why
you can't be my sponsor.
It's not fair to you
or your family or Diane.
Funny, there was a time
I would've been happy
to cause some trouble for her.
>> Jack: Yeah, I remember
it well.
>> Nikki: But to be honest,
I owe her a debt of gratitude
also.
I mean, she let you be
my sponsor, and she was
surprisingly accepting.
Please don't feel guilty
about this.
I will find another sponsor.
And you will always remain
my dearest friend.
>> Kyle: Jasper Foley agreement.
My mother was the person who
worked on it initially.
>> Summer: And then
what happened?
>> Kyle: I closed the deal
without her input,
and when she found out
about it, she told me not
to finalize it.
>> Summer: Because you went
behind her back.
>> Kyle: It's a good deal.
It's fiscally responsible.
The only reason it hasn't
progressed is because of her
fragile ego.
>> Summer: Kyle, I know you
don't wanna hear this,
but your mom is technically
your boss.
If you did that with
any other superior...
>> Kyle: No, I get it.
I get it.
I just hoped that she would see
that I was doing what was best
for the company,
that I'm capable of more.
>> Summer: Look, I know that
Jabot is your world.
I've seen how much time
and energy and effort
you've poured into its success.
Jack should see that.
So should Diane.
>> Kyle: I just hope she doesn't
destroy the deal
because she's upset with me.
Who knows what she'll do.
>> Summer: Your mother
is unpredictable.
>> Kyle: You have anything else
you wanna add to the subject?
>> Summer: You know how I feel
about your mom.
She abandoned you as a child
and repeatedly put herself
first.
As a mom, that makes me angry.
And as someone who still cares
about you,
I don't like it at all.
>> Kyle: Thanks for that.
I appreciate the support.
>> Summer: You know, it's
ironic.
>> Kyle: Hmm.
>> Summer: A lot of the issues
in our marriage were because of
my distrust of Diane.
And now you're feeling
the way that I did.
>> Kyle: I love my mom.
But I'm starting to see things
about her differently.
>> Summer: Just be careful.
Don't lose sight of your
ultimate goal.
>> Kyle: Thanks for the advice.
>> Summer: Thanks for not
pushing me about Claire.
>> Kyle: We have a pretty good
kid, don't we?
>> Summer: He's the best.
>> Kyle: Hmm.
>> Summer: And he's gonna
be okay.
>> Kyle: Yeah, we'll make sure
of it.
>> Jack: Even if I'm not your
sponsor, we could still go
to meetings together.
>> Nikki: I would like that.
>> Jack: Promise me you'll stay
in contact.
>> Nikki: You do the same.
>> Jack: Yeah.
Well, if there's any upside
to this, Victor will be happy.
>> Nikki: I have
a confession to make.
I didn't tell him that
I asked you to be
my sponsor again.
>> Jack: Gee, I wonder why.
>> Nikki: Oh, he would've
come around.
>> Jack: About you, maybe.
Not me.
No, when you went away to rehab,
he came to visit
and he was out for blood.
No, he warned me in no
uncertain terms
to stay away from you.
>> Nikki: I'm sure he's calmed
down since then.
>> Jack: About me,
I don't think so.
No, he hasn't forgiven me.
I think he's gonna hold this
against me for a long time.
>> Nikki: Well, that would be
wrong of him.
Our spouses may not understand
what we lived through
that night.
But we do.
>> Victor: There was a time when
you and I were on the same
side, right?
>> Diane: Yes, we were.
But our marriage ended
when you left me for Nikki.
>> Victor: I used to admire you.
You know, you were tough,
you were savvy.
Took no bull,
you were a survivor.
>> Diane: And yet when I
returned to town alive,
a lot of people weren't pleased,
including you.
>> Victor: Because no one
understood, including me,
why you turned to Jack Abbott.
He's weak.
You, on the other hand,
are a viper.
>> Diane: Well, there's
the Victor that I know.
>> Victor: So you allowed Jack
to defang you.
He took power away from you.
And your son is in the process
of doing the same.
I used to admire you,
respect you.
Now I pity you.
>> Michael: I'm sorry I'm late.
I was getting a status update
on Jordan. All good.
>> Victor: I have no time
for this, okay?
>> Michael: When you said that
you wanted to meet, I was hoping
we could, uh, grab a drink,
clear the air.
>> Victor: There's no need.
>> Michael: Victor, I know
you're displeased about how
things turned out with Jordan,
that Cole and I stepped in
and undercut your plans, but--
>> Victor: Let me tell you
something, Michael Baldwin.
You betrayed me.
You're fired.
>> Michael: Seems I'm out
of a job.
Wanna buy me a drink?
>> Sally: Summer, hi.
>> Summer: Sally.
>> Sally: Getting some
fresh air?
>> Summer: Yeah.
I mean, it's a beautiful day,
right?
I guess the traveling
carnival's not here anymore.
Did you get a chance
to go to that?
>> Sally: No.
No.
Been there, done that.
Did you take Harrison?
>> Summer: He-- he loved it.
He loved the rides, the candy.
>> Sally: Yeah, I bet Connor
would've loved it, too.
>> Summer: I'm sorry he wasn't
here for it.
I hope that Chelsea and Adam's
visit with him goes well.
>> Sally: Yeah, me too.
I mean, you know, they've all
had a really rough time with it,
and Adam's been a wreck.
But, you know, he just--
is doing his best
to be there for Connor.
>> Summer: I'm sure Adam leans
on you a lot.
>> Sally: Yeah, but, you know,
I want to be there for him,
so...
>> Summer: It can be hard to be
the supportive one.
Though I don't imagine being
Adam's girlfriend is very easy.
>> Sally: We have had our
challenges, but we are great.
And right now,
Connor comes first.
And I support that completely.
You know, he adores Connor,
and I just wanna do what
I can to, you know,
get him through this.
>> Summer: That's very mature
of you.
And perceptive.
>> Sally: Two things you
normally don't associate
with me.
>> Summer: Look, I have reason
to doubt your sincerity.
>> Sally: Can't argue with that.
>> Summer: Sally, look, I assume
you're aware that Chelsea
suggested you take over
for her at Marchetti while
she's on leave?
>> Sally: Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I am.
>> Summer: Look, from a business
standpoint, it does make sense.
You've got the fashion
experience, you have knowledge
of the brand.
>> Sally: But the fact that it's
me, that's the sticking point,
right?
>> Summer: You and I
working together?
Yeah, it's kind of hard
to imagine how that would go.
But look, I do think
it warrants a discussion.
>> Sally: Yeah, yeah, okay,
let's-- let's talk.
>> Diane: Here's to being
schooled by Victor Newman.
>> Michael: I'd say being
bludgeoned with a hammer
would be a more accurate
description.
>> Diane: So, what did you do
for him to be so angry at you?
>> Michael: Well, I can't
exactly get into details.
Let's just say
I disobeyed orders.
>> Diane: Wow, it must've been
some orders.
Pretty bad for him to fire you.
>> Michael: This isn't the first
time I've been fired
by Victor Newman.
And I don't anticipate that
it will be the last.
>> Diane: I mean, what is
the deal with that guy?
Why does he wield
so much control?
Why is whatever Victor says
considered gold?
>> Michael: You two were having
a very intense conversation
when I walked in.
Leave an impact?
>> Diane: I just hate
that he gets to me.
I mean, I should know better.
>> Michael: Let me guess.
He did that Victor thing
where he says something
horribly disparaging that
somehow rings true.
>> Diane: Yes.
He wanted to talk to me
because he is angry at Jack
for just something that he did
to try to help Nikki.
>> Michael: What,
as her sponsor?
>> Diane: Yes.
He says that what Jack did
was reckless and dangerous
and he blames Jack
for putting Nikki at risk.
>> Michael: And how did you
see it?
This thing Jack did.
>> Diane: Same way Victor does.
Of course,
I couldn't admit that.
But I-- I find myself
siding with Victor on this.
>> Kyle: Sorry to interrupt.
Just wanted to check on
how it's going.
>> Harrison: Oh, hey, Dad.
>> Nikki: Hey, big guy.
Victor.
I didn't expect to see you here.
>> Victor: How are you doing?
I'm alright.
>> Claire: You know what?
Harrison, why don't we, uh,
why don't we go play?
>> Victor: Now Harrison,
you better come back down again
because I'm a cookie monster.
I'm gonna eat all of them.
>> Claire: Let's go.
>> Harrison: We have to
come back.
>> Claire: Yeah, we will.
>> Kyle: Well.
>> Victor: These are good.
>> Kyle: I take it you are here
for the cookies.
>> Victor: Hmm.
>> Kyle: Maybe a little
something more?
>> Victor: I came by to deliver
some news about Jordan.
>> Kyle: Did they find her body?
>> Victor: My security team
found her on the banks of
the Garewood River.
She was still alive.
And they put her into custody.
>> Kyle: Um, well, we-- we have
to increase security here.
And-- and for Harrison, look,
Jordan can't get to him again.
>> Victor: Well, don't worry
about that, okay?
I would make absolutely
certain that does not happen.
>> Kyle: Look, with all
due respect, I don't wanna
underestimate her.
She's gotten out before.
>> Victor: Not gonna get out
now.
She's in a maximum security
prison.
And I will make absolutely
certain that nothing will happen
to Harrison.
>> Kyle: Thank you.
Now, may I ask, who else knows?
Because I was just with Summer,
she clearly doesn't.
She's going to be freaked out.
Does Claire know?
>> Victor: Well, Claire was
shocked when I told her.
But, um, I intend to talk about
this with Summer later.
>> Kyle: Would you mind if I was
the one who told her?
>> Victor: No, of course not.
So Kyle, how do you--
how do you like working
at Jabot?
>> Kyle: Um, yeah,
things are great, thanks.
>> Victor: Yeah?
Aren't you now working under
both of your parents?
How's that going?
>> Kyle: Um, we're, uh,
making it work.
>> Victor: Oh, yeah?
Must be hard to take orders
from your mother.
You should be in her position,
you know that.
>> Michael: Jack took pills?
Pills, after all these years.
And he overdosed.
>> Diane: EMT's were called.
>> Michael: Yeah, well, he's
taking one hell of a risk.
>> Diane: Yeah, I just--
just don't get it.
Why he would gamble with
his addiction like that,
and his life.
>> Michael: Well, really, Diane,
you might not wanna be reminded
of this, but...
Nikki and Jack,
they go way back.
I mean, they have a long,
long-standing relationship.
And if one were to look at it
through that lens, one might
understand why he would go
to such an extreme for her.
>> Diane: Well, that doesn't
sit well with Victor.
>> Michael: Nor with you,
by the looks of it.
>> Diane: Yeah.
I, uh, I told Jack that if he
was gonna be Nikki's sponsor
again, that I would walk away
from our marriage.
And then he backed down.
>> Michael: Wow.
That's quite a bluff.
>> Diane: Yeah.
I did what I needed to do.
For myself, and for Jack.
>> Michael: Would you have
done it?
Walked away from the marriage?
From the man you've wanted
all these years?
>> Diane: I can't live in fear
of another night like that.
When-- when he doesn't
come home.
When-- when the outcome
could've been so much worse.
>> Michael: Well, you better
be prepared.
>> Diane: For what?
>> Michael: I mean, Jack may
have changed his mind about
sponsoring Nikki.
But, um...
He may resent you for putting
him in that position.
Remember...
They have a profound
relationship.
>> Diane: All right, Michael.
Nikki might be Jack's friend.
But I'm his wife.
And I would like to think that
his love for me is more
than his concern for her.
>> Summer: Obviously, you and I
have a very...
complicated history
when it comes to Marchetti.
>> Sally: Yes, there is no
excuse for what I did.
Working with Tara to
blackmail you into leaving town.
Although it did lead you
to running Marchetti, so...
>> Summer: It's not easy for me
to trust you.
>> Sally: I get it.
Really.
And I-- I regret what I did.
I'm so sorry.
>> Summer: And then there's
everything with my dad.
How you chose Adam over him.
You really, really hurt him,
Sally.
>> Sally: Look,
it makes sense why you wouldn't
want me to work at your company.
But I'm not gonna apologize
to you for my personal life,
if that's what you're asking.
>> Summer: Okay, hang on.
Look, you did push me
out of Jabot.
But...
I have to admit,
I'm grateful for how everything
worked out.
I moved to Italy.
Kyle and I got married.
I...
became Harrison's stepmom.
>> Sally: So not all bad.
>> Summer: No.
And being at Marchetti gave me
this opportunity to lead.
And that has kept me grounded
through a lot of changes
in my life.
Moving back home, everything
with my mom and my marriage
ending.
This company is very important
to me.
>> Sally: I get that.
I've loved having my own
companies to run.
>> Summer: But it doesn't mean
that I don't want a life outside
of that.
And I do want the same thing
for my employees.
That's why when Chelsea came
to me and asked for time off
to be there for Connor,
of course I said yes.
I really want Marchetti to be
a place where everybody's needs
are met, so that their talents
can flourish.
>> Sally: I'm sorry,
I'm probably sticking my foot
in my mouth again.
But that...
seems different for you.
>> Summer: Well...
I'm not the same person I was
when you first met me.
>> Sally: Neither am I.
>> Summer: Look, I can't just
forget everything that you've
done to me.
And I wouldn't expect anything
less than your best behavior
at Marchetti.
>> Sally: And you shouldn't.
>> Summer: Look, Sally, I have
been through hell lately,
so I really don't have the time
or the energy to hold a grudge
anymore.
You have the credentials.
I'm told you're available.
>> Sally: Yeah, free as a bird.
>> Summer: If you want the job,
on an interim basis, it's yours.
>> Kyle: My father wanted my
mother in the co-CEO position,
and I respect his choice.
>> Victor: Er.
Oh.
Wouldn't you wanna be in charge
someday?
>> Kyle: Well, doesn't everyone
wanna move up?
>> Victor: Yeah.
Well, Kyle, I don't blame you
if you have visions of taking
over the company.
You know, of all the Abbots
I've known, you're the closest
to what John Abbott was like.
Calm, steady.
>> Kyle: Wow, that's quite
the compliment.
>> Victor: Don't ever
underestimate your own
potential.
>> Kyle: I won't.
I promise you that.
>> Victor: Okay, bye.
Nice to see you, Kyle.
>> Kyle: Thanks for coming by,
Victor.
>> Victor: I'm sure you will
take care of things.
>> Kyle: Yes, sir.
I will.
>> Victor: You have a nice day.
>> Kyle: Yeah, you get home
safe.
>> Claire: Harrison is worn out.
We had a very busy day.
You saw the caterpillars?
>> Kyle: Yes, I did.
>> Claire: Is everything
all right?
Did-- did Victor say something
to upset you?
>> Diane: I just saw Victor's
car pulling out of the driveway.
What did he want?
>> Kyle: Uh, Victor came by to
tell me that they found Jordan.
She's alive.
But in custody.
>> Diane: Oh, my God.
I can't believe she survived.
>> Kyle: Um, Victor said
he already told you.
>> Claire: He did.
He wanted to tell the family
himself.
He's certain that we don't need
to worry about her anymore.
>> Diane: Well, I hope so.
For everyone's sake.
>> Kyle: Are you just coming
from the office?
>> Diane: Oh, no, no.
I had some, um,
outside meetings.
I-- I haven't been--
I haven't been in yet.
>> Kyle: Hmm, outside meetings?
With who?
>> Diane: There it is again.
>> Kyle: What?
>> Diane: Oh, that judging tone
of yours.
What's the problem, Kyle?
Are you looking for new ways
to disparage my job performance?
>> Sally: I would be honored
to be the interim creative
director at Marchetti.
Thank you.
>> Summer: You're welcome.
Don't let me down.
>> Sally: I won't.
I won't.
And I am ready to hit
the ground running.
Although, I--
I really don't wanna bother
Chelsea right now with
any questions.
>> Summer: Agreed.
I think that's for the best.
>> Sally: Okay, so, um...
If you don't mind, I would
really like to come by
the office.
You know, whenever
works for you.
To, you know, see where you're
at with the line, see what's
needed.
Maybe speak to some of the
staff.
Is there a problem?
>> Summer: Um...
No.
Everything's fine.
Um, I actually...
have some time right now.
Should we get to work?
>> Nikki: Hello.
>> Victor: Hi, sweetheart.
How did your session go?
>> Nikki: Very well.
I feel strong and positive.
>> Victor: Uh-huh.
Now, have you thought about
a new sponsor?
Can't be Jack Abbott.
He fell off the damn wagon.
>> Nikki: Actually, I did ask
Jack if he could continue
as my sponsor.
>> Victor: I don't get it.
After what he put you through?
>> Nikki: Well, don't worry.
He turned me down.
>> Victor: Really?
>> Nikki: Yeah, I think it's
just been too taxing for him
and Diane.
I can't blame her.
If I were in her shoes,
I would probably feel
the same way.
>> Victor: How could you even
consider this?
>> Nikki: Jack has been
a tremendous help to me
as a friend and as a sponsor,
and I will continue to rely
on him.
>> Victor: No!
You can't go back to him.
I don't want you anywhere
near that guy.
>> Claire: I'm gonna
go check on Harrison.
>> Kyle: You know, Mom,
why do you always assume
the worst of me?
I was just curious if you were
having a meeting
with the accounting team.
>> Diane: Sure you were.
>> Kyle: You know, I just wanna
stay in the loop
on top of things.
Most companies would value that
in their COO.
>> Diane: Well, most COO's
wouldn't constantly be
questioning their CEO.
When is this gonna stop, Kyle?
>> Jack: What's going on here?
>> Diane: Nothing, nothing.
Uh, did you talk to Nikki?
>> Jack: I did.
It's done.
I'm no longer Nikki's sponsor.
So somebody wanna tell me
what I just walked in on?
>> Kyle: There's nothing.
Nothing at all.
Everything is fine.
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless.
>> Mariah: All of this
admiration for Claire.
Is there maybe something else
going on?
>> Audra: This has nothing to do
with vengeance.
That's your game
and your weakness.
>> Tucker: What is it you want?
>> Audra: I want Glissade.
I want it all.
>> Ashley: Am I creating some
kind of a psychosis?
Am I delusional?
What is happening?
>> Alan: No, I think it happened
exactly as you say.
It just didn't happen with me.
I believe you spent the evening
with, uh...
my brother.
