>> Adam: Hey.
>> Chelsea: Hey.
Thanks for getting here
so quickly.
Um, I spoke with
Connor's social worker.
>> Adam: I hope that big smile
that you're wearing means
there's good news for a change?
>> Chelsea: It finally happened,
Adam. Connor had
a breakthrough yesterday.
>> Adam: Oh, my God.
Thank God.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Adam: What happened?
>> Chelsea: Oh,
the breakthrough involved
his fear of contamination.
This exposure treatment
must be working.
>> Adam: Okay, well, I mean,
what happened specifically?
>> Chelsea: Well, you know,
he's learning to fight his
anxieties involving food.
Well, he was able to eat
some specific foods
that he's been afraid of.
So, it's, yeah.
>> Adam: That's great.
>> Sharon: I-- I don't
mean to interrupt.
Was that good news that I just
overheard about Connor?
He's making progress?
>> Chelsea: Yeah, yeah, he is.
And they're evaluating
different medicine levels
to find the right dosage,
and it seems they found it.
So it's working, and it's great.
So, the therapy mixed
with the right meds,
something's clicking.
>> Adam: Yeah, well, whatever it
is, I'm just happy that--
that something is helping.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Sharon: I'm just so pleased
for Connor and for both of you.
>> Adam: Yeah,
but maybe it's too good.
You know, I just--
I don't want to get my hopes up
and jinx it.
>> Chelsea: Now is not the time
to be superstitious.
We've got to take our wins
as we get them.
>> Adam: I know, you're right.
Now is the time to be
optimistic, and we can
and we will get there.
>> Alan: Hope you don't
mind me stopping by.
>> Traci: No, of course not.
>> Alan: I thought you'd like to
know how Ashley's first
evening at the clinic went.
>> Traci: Actually,
your timing is perfect.
I was just about to call you.
>> Jack: Hey, Alan.
>> Alan: Jack, good to see you.
When did you get in?
>> Jack: I took the Jabot jet so
I could be here for Ashley's
first few days in this clinic.
>> Alan: Well, excellent.
She'll be delighted
to know you're here.
>> Traci: Actually,
Alan was about to tell me
how things went.
>> Jack: How have things
been going?
How is our sister doing?
♪♪
>> Dawn: Thanks for your time,
Philippe.
I've just heard so many
nasty rumors going
around about Mr. McCall.
I wondered
if you'd heard them, too.
I'm not sure how seriously to
take them or if it's
all just gamesmanship.
So, no word of a takeover
as far as you know.
I see.
Well, I guess we'll see what
happens at the meeting today.
See you then.
>> Tucker: It sounds
like you couldn't get him
to confirm or deny.
>> Dawn: No, but I got
the feeling he was being very
careful not to tip anything.
>> Tucker: So, I guess he didn't
buy that you turned on me.
>> Dawn: I guess not.
>> Tucker: None of the CEOs from
the companies I acquired
are returning my emails.
No one's returning my calls.
The board, every member
conveniently unavailable.
This is not--
this is not a good sign.
>> Dawn: So, you think
Ms. Charles is telling
the truth?
You think there's
a hostile takeover afoot?
>> Tucker: It's not looking
good. Um, let's get this
meeting pushed, okay?
You get on that.
We have to buy ourselves
some time.
I am not gonna let Audra
get away with this.
>> Dawn: There's been a request
to push the meeting back to
later this afternoon
and possibly tomorrow,
so I'm checking
everyone's availability.
No?
Okay, well, I'll let you
know if anything changes.
Thanks.
>> Tucker: No one's budging.
>> Dawn: Everyone I've
talked to so far seems
to have prior commitments.
>> Tucker: Sure.
It's because they're
all in this against me.
Oh, man, this is out of control.
Oh, damn, Audra.
>> Dawn: Wait,
where are you going?
>> Tucker: There's only
one thing left to do.
Keep trying. Don't stop.
Let me know about any progress,
okay?
>> Tucker: Everything I've
done to counter the moves
you've been making,
I've gotten no pleasure from it.
And I realized,
I was doing all of it
in spite of what
I was really feeling,
what I really want...
which is to be with you.
So, I'm here saying that I will
do whatever it takes to fix us.
The first step being making sure
you know that-- that Ashley and
I are finally, truly finished.
>> Audra: So,
I assume there's a step two?
>> Tucker: To tell you
that Glissade is yours.
You want it that badly,
you can have it.
>> Audra: Poor Tucker.
You thought I needed
your handouts.
[ knock on door ]
Go away, Tucker.
There's nothing left to say.
>> Tucker: Will you just
do this one thing for me.
Have a conversation with me.
>> Audra: I regret every
minute I ever wasted on you.
I won't waste anymore.
>> Tucker: Audra,
don't go through with this.
>> Adam: Look, I'm-- I'm trying
to stay positive.
I really am.
>> Sharon: And it can be tough
at times, but you know what?
Just put good energy out there.
It can only help.
>> Chelsea: But you're having
a hard time, aren't you?
>> Adam: I-- I can't
help questioning if
we made the right decision.
What if sending Connor to that
facility wasn't the right move?
His setbacks and his hurdles
have been way more intense than
I ever imagined they would be.
>> Sharon: That is
to be expected.
You know, this is new territory
for all three of you.
And most parents can't help
but have those
same fears and doubts.
And not just at the beginning,
but like through
the whole process.
>> Adam: But then
isn't that a bad sign?
Okay, maybe this protocol
that we're all just going
along with is not the best.
>> Chelsea: Adam, we just got
some good news.
Why don't you let that
sink in for a minute?
>> Sharon: There will be
ups and downs,
but when you get to the end
and you get that result,
you will be so glad.
And so will Connor.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
Connor wants to see us
for the first time
in a very long time.
That's the best news
we've gotten in forever.
Adam, Connor wants to see us.
Isn't that great?
>> Adam: Look, every time we go,
we get turned down.
It's selfish, but I don't
want to get my hopes up to
get disappointed again.
I don't think that
I can take another time
going and not getting
the chance to see our son.
>> Traci: So, Alan, how was
Ashley when you left her?
>> Alan: Well,
under the circumstances,
I'd say she's doing quite well.
She's very determined.
No doubts, no hesitation, which
is so important at this stage.
And, uh, well, my colleagues
really went all out to make sure
her transition to the clinic was
as smooth as possible.
>> Jack: Oh, good.
I know this whole thing has been
pretty tough on her.
>> Alan: Yeah, that first
night is always the toughest.
But, again, this place
is warm, welcoming.
It's incredibly well-designed.
She'll receive
nothing but kindness and
understanding there, I promise.
>> Traci: Well, good.
I just hate to think
of her alone in a strange place,
you know?
>> Alan: Well, I was there until
the nurses kicked me out.
But when I left,
she was her usual strong,
determined, brave self.
Tough as ever, so.
>> Traci: We will never be
able to thank you enough for all
that you've done for our sister.
>> Jack: We will be
forever grateful.
You got Ashley the professional
help she desperately needs.
>> Alan: Well, honestly,
I feel guilty about
the whole thing, so...
I mean, if it wasn't for me,
Martin never would have gotten
to her, and he's the one who
pushed her over the edge.
>> Jack: Wait, you're not
to blame for the actions of your
obviously disturbed brother.
>> Alan: Well, that's just it.
I mean, I knew how dangerous
he could be when he was off
his medication, and I-- I should
have done more to find him,
to keep tabs on him.
>> Traci: Alan, you had
private investigators
looking for him for years.
What more could you have done?
>> Jack: You are not responsible
for everything that happened.
As a matter of fact,
you've more than made up for it
with the love and care and
support you have given Ashley.
>> Tucker: What more
do you want, Audra?
I'm offering you the company
to run any way you wish.
Isn't that what you've always
wanted, to be your own boss?
Not answer to anyone?
>> Audra: Don't pretend like
you know what I want,
when obviously--
>> Tucker: Well, I know you
don't want to answer to me,
and you don't want to answer
to some mysterious investor
who's going to be breathing down
your neck the whole time.
I'm giving it to you.
Please. Free and clear.
>> Audra: Right. Just like that.
>> Tucker: Yes. Just like that.
>> Audra: Well,
too little too late.
>> Tucker: Why?
Why won't you just let me
give it to you?
Just take the win quietly,
without humiliating me.
Without crippling me
in the business world.
Don't you owe me at least that
much, after all the years we've
been through and everything that
we've meant to each other?
>> Audra: Are you serious
right now?
I'm the one who owes you?
I'm not the reason
it's all come to this.
You put everyone else before me.
And now, you're surprised I'm no
longer interested
in third place?
>> Tucker: I thought we hashed
that out. We don't have
time to argue over this.
>> Audra: Finally,
something we can agree on.
I have a meeting to prepare for,
and so do you.
>> Tucker: Yes, and
you could cancel it,
if you would take my offer.
At least-- at least
postpone it so we can...
I can't believe it.
Just because I wouldn't turn
my back on my son, really?
Is that really what
this is all about?
Is that my great crime here?
>> Audra: Look,
that's not real emotion.
You're not hurt or
indignant or confused.
You're just stalling for time,
and I'm not interested.
>> Tucker: Audra.
Here I am.
I'm in Paris with you.
Granted, it's not
the circumstances that-- that
we dreamed of, but here I am.
I'm not with Ashley.
I'm not with Devon.
I'm here with you.
And I am putting you first.
>> Audra: Maybe it's not
about being first or last.
It's that I don't care anymore.
>> Tucker: I thought I knew you.
I never thought you could
be this vindictive.
I never thought
you could be this cruel.
>> Sharon: Well, I should
get back to my work.
I'll let you two talk.
>> Adam: Guess I have an uncanny
way of killing a good mood.
>> Chelsea: You didn't
kill anything, Adam.
You're having normal
human emotions that anyone would
have in this situation.
You don't think I feel the same?
You don't think I have fears?
Another rejection would
be almost unbearable.
>> Adam: Well, maybe
third time's the charm.
>> Chelsea: Maybe it is.
But if it's not, I mean,
if something goes wrong,
whatever it may be,
we have to keep the faith.
We have to lean on each other
and know that
we'll get through it.
>> Adam: I know. It's a process.
>> Chelsea: It's testing
our endurance, but it is
a journey we will have to
go through together as a family.
>> Adam: And I just have to keep
my head down and I have to
get to the other side of
this until we're through it.
Now is not the time to give up.
>> Chelsea: No, it's not.
Now is the time to embrace hope
that's gonna carry us
over the next hill and
then the hill after that.
I have an idea.
Why don't we call Connor?
We can see for ourselves
how he's doing, see if
it looks like he really wants us
to come for a visit.
>> Adam: I like that.
Why don't we text him and see if
he's up for a video chat?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Adam: We can do it from
my place.
>> Chelsea: Okay.
Let's go.
Bye, Sharon.
We're gonna, um, call Connor,
check in with him
before we leave.
>> Sharon: Oh, good for you two.
>> Chelsea: Um, and thank you,
by the way.
>> Sharon: For what?
>> Chelsea: Just,
you know, for being kind.
>> Sharon: I'm happy
to help anyone I can
through their journey.
I know that I was very
grateful to have all the support
that I had when I was on mine.
And when this is in the past,
then, um,
you will help someone else.
Because ultimately, we all
have to lean on each other.
It's the only way to
get to the other side.
>> Audra: You're still
pleading your case, Tucker,
and it's getting tedious.
You think if you find
the right words and emotions,
you're gonna get what you want,
but this is what I want,
and it's happening.
>> Tucker: Please just postpone
it so we can work out a deal.
>> Audra: There is
nothing to work out.
The financing is in place.
The deal is already done.
Technically,
you've already lost the company.
>> Tucker: You have
the power to stop it, right?
You could put the brakes on
and turn it around.
But you just--
You refuse to do that.
What's happened to you?
>> Audra: What are
you so worried about?
You're gonna be more
than compensated.
The investor has agreed to
pay well over market value.
>> Tucker: Who is this investor?
Because when I bought
the company, there was not
a soul interested in it.
What changed all of a sudden?
>> Audra: The fact is,
it's over.
And there's nothing you
can do about it now.
>> Tucker: Oh, my God.
Of course.
I don't know why
I didn't see it before.
I know exactly
who your investor is.
>> Traci: How long will
Ashley have to be at the clinic?
>> Alan: Well, uh,
it's kind of hard to predict.
Her condition is complex.
It really depends on
how she responds to
the treatment program.
>> Traci: And how will that go?
I mean,
what will the program be like?
>> Alan: The doctors will be
focused on any trauma that
Ashley's undergone, especially
this most recent event.
>> Traci: The situation with
Martin here in Paris?
>> Alan: Yes.
Somehow, he, uh, got her to
confuse whatever happened with
him with the fight with Tucker,
and that clearly led
to the emergence or
release of these alters.
>> Traci: I just can't even
imagine what she went
through that horrible night.
>> Jack: Along with all of
the other difficult experiences.
>> Alan: Those experiences
have led Ashley to where she
is today, and she's gonna
have to process them.
>> Jack: So then that's
the only way to treat these
alternate personalities?
>> Alan: Yes.
The ones that we're aware of.
And the ones we aren't.
>> Alan: In most DID cases,
the alters emerge in
early childhood, and
usually as a result of
severe trauma or ongoing trauma.
The mind can create alters
in order to dissociate so
that they can survive.
>> Traci: So, they have
been there for years
and we just didn't know?
>> Jack: Wait,
this doesn't make any sense.
You're saying Ashley was dealing
with multiple personalities
while we were growing up?
I mean, I would've noticed that.
Traci might have been too
young, but this isn't
something I would forget.
>> Alan: Alters can go
unnoticed in childhood.
I mean, they may have emerged
and was not noticed by
anyone, including Ashley.
Just thought of
normal play-acting.
You know, and a lot of
kids do create invisible
friends to play with.
>> Traci: So, they were
there the whole time,
and we just didn't know?
>> Alan: Alters can go dormant
for long periods of time and
then be reactivated by extreme
stress, like what happened
here in Paris with Ashley.
But also there could've been
some other trauma that
happened after her childhood and
before this last event.
>> Traci: And since Ashley has
a history of mental illness...
But we-- we didn't recognize
anything like this until now.
>> Jack: Can I ask something?
If this has been going on
so long, how do doctors know
it hasn't just gone dormant
again, waiting
to be triggered by whatever?
>> Alan: The key is to get at
the root of the problem.
To find out
what initially happened.
>> Jack: And Ashley will have to
relive all that again.
God.
>> Traci: I can't stand that
she's gonna have to suffer
more than she already has.
>> Jack: What doesn't make sense
is that something so traumatic
could've happened to Ashley
while we were growing up and
we don't know anything about it?
>> Traci: Something so traumatic
that it triggered the creation
of these alters to protect her.
>> Adam: All right,
it is all set and ready to go.
>> Chelsea: Connor responded to
our text almost immediately.
>> Adam: Yeah, he did
seem excited that
we wanted to video chat.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I'm sure we'll
be hearing from him soon.
>> Adam: Oh, and there he is.
>> Connor: Mom, Dad,
did you hear?
>> Chelsea: Hear what?
I'm just looking at
your gorgeous smile.
>> Connor: No, Mom,
I mean about what I ate today.
>> Adam: No, tell us about it.
What's going on?
>> Connor: I did it. I had soup.
>> Adam: And that's good?
>> Connor: I didn't worry if
there was anything not
right in it.
Okay, maybe I did worry,
but I got over it.
>> Chelsea: Oh, Connor,
that is so wonderful.
>> Connor: There's a ton
more stuff to get over,
but this is a big deal.
>> Adam: Congratulations, son.
You have had a
fantastic breakthrough.
>> Connor: It may not seem like
much to you because it's not
like I wanted to tell you about
me getting worried about my food
getting spoiled and stuff,
but this is really good.
>> Chelsea: It is a big deal,
Connor.
And we are so proud of you.
>> Sharon: No, I do not have
that information for you, and as
I told you earlier, I will let
you know as soon as I get it.
Calling me every five
minutes isn't gonna make
it happen any faster.
>> Nick: Sharon?
>> Sharon: Hi, Nick.
>> Nick: Hey.
What's, uh, what's going on?
Something wrong?
>> Tucker: I don't know why
I didn't see it before now.
Your mysterious benefactor isn't
some random billionaire who
you met and charmed.
It's someone with a deep,
intense personal agenda,
isn't it?
Someone who's out to get me.
>> Audra: Yeah, I can't tell
if you're paranoid or
just self-important.
>> Tucker: Jack Abbott.
Right? Still out for revenge?
>> Audra: Oh,
think whatever you want.
I am done.
>> Tucker: You might as well
tell me, 'cause I'm gonna find
out at the meeting anyway.
There's still a chance to turn
things around in my favor.
I might even get some
compassion from Jack
if I can't get any from you.
>> Audra: Good luck with that,
because the investor,
whoever he or she may be,
won't be at the meeting anyway,
so you're not gonna have
a chance to turn things
around in your favor.
>> Tucker: Jack will
be at the meeting.
He will never pass up a chance
to rub it in my face.
>> Audra: Just give it a rest,
Tucker. I'm never gonna tell you
who bought your company
right out from under you.
That was a stipulation of
the deal, and I have every
intention of honoring it.
>> Tucker: Sorry, honor?
>> Audra: Mm-hmm.
>> Tucker: You have no honor.
You honor nothing.
>> Audra: Oh, thank you.
>> Tucker: Not our business
relationship, and not our
personal relationship.
Nothing.
>> Audra: Well, I'm afraid
your time is officially
and finally up.
On your business,
on our relationship,
and on this conversation.
>> Tucker: One last chance.
Reconsider. Take my offer.
>> Audra: No, Tucker.
How did I ever mistake
your entitlement for confidence?
Huh?
Enough already.
Just take the loss and move on.
>> Tucker: You're really
gonna go through with it?
Well, I promise you,
you're gonna pay.
>> Alan: Look,
the good news is that whatever
Ashley went through in
her childhood or otherwise,
the team at the clinic is gonna
get to the bottom of it.
They are top flight.
They're very good
at this sort of thing.
>> Traci: I-- I know that you
keep saying that her doctors are
caring and skilled.
I'm sure they are,
but I'm just worried that this
intense treatment is gonna
put her over the edge again.
>> Alan: Well, Ashley's gonna
get treatment in a very safe
and controlled environment
and those doctors are gonna know
what tools she needs to cope
with whatever comes up.
>> Jack: You really think
she's gonna be okay there?
>> Alan: You have my word.
Ashley's got a long way to go,
but she's prepared
to go the distance.
>> Jack: Yeah,
that sounds like our sister.
>> Alan: I think Ashley
understands that this is
her one and only option
for a full recovery.
And knowing Ashley,
no matter how hard it is
or how long it takes,
she's gonna beat this.
>> Jack: Alan,
we can't thank you enough.
I don't know where Ashley
would be right now if you had
not come to her rescue.
>> Traci: Yeah.
>> Alan: Please,
I'm just glad I could be of
service in some way.
Anyway.
Traci, uh, what are your plans?
Do you think you might
want to stay in Paris?
I think Ashley would love
to have you here
for some kind of support.
>> Jack: I agree.
The more support she has
around her, the better.
>> Traci: Well then, there's no
place I would rather be.
You couldn't drag me
away if you tried.
>> Connor: Sorry about
last time, when I wasn't ready.
But I am now unless
you guys are too busy.
>> Adam: If you are sure you're
up for it, then so are we.
We're never
too busy to see our son.
>> Chelsea: That's right,
and I've taken a leave of
absence from work, so I will be
there for you whenever you need.
>> Connor: That's not right.
>> Chelsea: No, Connor,
it's what I want.
I want my schedule to be clear.
>> Connor: But I don't want
your life to be turned
upside down because of me.
>> Chelsea: Connor, sweetie,
don't you know you are my life?
And I've already spoken
to Summer about it,
and Marchetti is gonna be fine.
>> Adam: And hey,
how cool is this?
Sally has agreed to step in
for your mom, so you don't
have to worry about that at all.
Everyone's happy to make
it happen,
and your mom's gonna be near
you as long as you'd like.
>> Connor: Are you sure, Mom?
You're not just saying that
so I won't get upset, are you?
>> Chelsea: Connor,
everything has been worked out,
and it is all gonna be fine.
And your dad and I can hop
on a plane tonight
and see you if you want.
>> Adam: That is,
if you're sure you're up for it,
and you really wanna see us.
>> Connor: I can't wait.
>> Dawn: Good, you're back.
Everyone's on the call.
They're just waiting for you.
>> Tucker: Okay,
did you find out anything?
Who the anonymous investor is?
>> Dawn: What are you gonna do?
The meeting's about to start.
Are there any options left?
>> Tucker: Go ahead
and start the video.
Okay.
[ Tucker sighs ]
>> Audra: Hello, everyone.
It looks like we're all here.
So glad this meeting could
finally come together.
Thank you so much for making
yourselves available
for this very important vote
on the transfer of power.
>> Tucker: Oh.
[ Tucker exhales ]
Oh.
>> Audra: What's going on?
>> Tucker: Thank you.
Uh, I apologize.
I was just feeling
a little lightheaded.
Please proceed.
>> Audra: Yes, let's get back
to the business at hand.
As I was saying,
we're all here today to complete
one big item on the agenda.
>> Tucker: Uh, I'm sorry--
I have to get some air. Sorry.
I'm having trouble breathing.
Uh...
God.
[ glass shatters ]
>> Audra: What the hell?
Is this even for real?
>> Sharon: I'm, uh, I'm fine.
Why do you ask?
>> Nick: I don't know who was on
the other end of that call, but
you were pretty tough on them.
I mean, it's not like you.
>> Sharon: Um,
I guess I am a little
short-tempered this morning.
>> Nick: Any idea why?
[ Sharon sighs ]
>> Sharon: I think
I'm just tired.
And I'm tired because
I haven't been sleeping well.
>> Nick: Also doesn't sound
like you.
>> Sharon: Yeah,
I've been having this trouble
since my doctor put me
on new bipolar medication.
I guess it's just taking my body
a little while to adjust.
>> Nick: Was your medication
messing with you?
I mean, why make a change
after all this time?
>> Sharon: Well, I had
my physical done
and my blood sugar
came out a little bit high,
so my doctor didn't want to take
any chances and he switched it.
It's nothing drastic.
This is from the same
family of meds.
It's just supposed to have
fewer side effects.
You know, it can take time
to settle into a new med.
You know what?
I'm gonna call them back
and apologize.
>> Nick: Don't. Don't do that.
Listen,
there's nothing wrong with being
grouchy once in a while.
>> Sharon: Well, let's hope
that'll be the end of it.
>> Nick: And I'm glad
you're staying on top of
your medication, you know,
and you're so open
to talk about it.
>> Sharon: Being on meds
or having bipolar disorder is
nothing to be ashamed of.
It's just like
any other diagnosis.
No stigma.
There's no reason to hide it.
It's just something
I have to stay on top of.
>> Nick: Well,
between you and my mom, I get
new lessons every day on how
to deal with life's challenges
with strength and courage.
You're two of the most
impressive people
I have ever met.
What's that look?
>> Sharon: You should know
by now, Nick,
that Nikki and I,
we're survivors.
We do what we have to do.
We fight to stay alive
for the sake of ourselves,
and more so,
the sake of our loved ones.
>> Nick: Well, I think
you're both awesome, so...
>> Sharon: Look,
will you help me out
with this project I'm trying
to push through at Cassidy?
I think the budget needs
a little tightening,
and, I don't know,
the marketing could be
a little bit more targeted.
>> Nick: Well, hand it over.
Let the master take a look.
>> Sharon: Please.
>> Chelsea: Ah,
he looks so good!
And he was smiling.
He-- he was excited to see us.
>> Adam: He was so proud of
himself. You could see it.
>> Chelsea: Yeah,
explaining about the soup.
>> Adam: Uh-huh,
and he's admitted that he has
kept things from us.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, but he--
he was sharing with us,
which means he trusts us.
You know,
he has faith that we understand.
>> Adam: And he's letting
go of a lot of his fears.
>> Chelsea: He's making
progress, Adam,
which means he will continue
to make progress.
This is so good!
It's so good!
>> Adam: Our son is doing it,
and he's finally starting
to find his way back.
Huh?
>> Chelsea: Well, um,
I should get going.
I will, uh, get packing
so we can leave soon.
>> Adam: I'll make
the arrangements. First,
I'm gonna see if the Newman
jet's available, but if not,
I'll charter a plane. And we
should be ready to go in
a couple of hours, okay?
>> Chelsea: Okay. Okay, great.
Promise me something, Adam.
>> Adam: Okay.
Right now, I feel like
I could promise anything.
>> Chelsea: Something
really good just happened.
Something we've been waiting
for a really long time.
Promise me you'll hold on
to that, no matter what
happens when we get there.
Even if he's not as excited
to see us as he was just now.
It's okay.
He's making progress.
That's all that matters.
Got it?
>> Adam: I got it.
>> Audra: What's happened?
How is he?
>> Dawn: I've called
for a medic. I'm just trying
to keep him comfortable
until someone gets here.
And of course, we've postponed
the board meeting until we know
what's wrong with Mr. McCall.
>> Audra: I can tell you
for a fact that there is nothing
wrong with Mr. McCall.
This is just his desperate
last-ditch effort
to stall the meeting,
just like he wanted.
>> Tucker: I wish it were fake.
I can't breathe.
My shoulders hurt
and now it's my back.
>> Audra: I don't believe you.
>> Alan: Well, I hope that means
you'll also be staying, Jack.
I know Ashley could use both
of you here for support
in case she needs it.
>> Traci: Well, I selfishly
would love for you to be here.
>> Jack: I plan to stay
as long as I can.
Listen, I came straight
from the airport.
I haven't even checked into
my hotel or anything.
I'm gonna do that,
make a couple of phone calls,
and then maybe the three of us
could get together for lunch.
>> Traci: Great. Great.
>> Alan: Excellent.
>> Jack: Okay.
I will text you
as soon as I'm on my way.
>> Traci: Okay.
>> Jack: I love you.
>> Alan: Well, now that lunch is
planned and you're planning
to stay in Paris,
perhaps I could take you
to dinner tonight.
>> Traci: I would be delighted.
>> Adam: Hey, Nick.
Uh, something has come up.
Connor has made some
progress and he wants to see us.
>> Nick: Oh, man, that is great.
>> Adam: Yeah, Chelsea and I,
we want to leave immediately.
Do you know if the Newman jet
is available?
>> Nick: No, it's yours.
Uh, take it.
I am just so glad that Connor is
starting to show the progress
that you've been hoping for.
Um, hey, give him a hug for me,
all right?
>> Adam: I will.
And Nick, thank you.
Your support
right now means everything.
>> Nick: Adam,
you know you've got it.
>> Adam: Have you heard anything
else about Dad's plans
with Newman Enterprises
and Newman Media?
Has Victoria agreed
to come back?
>> Nick: Everything's, you know,
still up in the air, but I don't
want you to worry about that.
I want you
to just focus on Connor.
He needs you right now.
>> Adam: Will do.
Got it.
Uh, I'll talk to you soon.
[ cell phone buzzes ]
>> Audra: Doctor,
I am so glad you're here.
But before you see the patient,
I should just warn you,
he's faking.
>> Doctor: Oh?
>> Audra: He's just trying
to pull a fast one on
his board of directors.
This is just a stall tactic.
>> Doctor: And why would he
do that?
>> Audra: Well,
because he's crazy.
Uh, but, you know,
he wants to do anything
to save his company.
But it's not gonna work.
You can't
forestall the inevitable.
At least not for long.
>> Dawn: If you don't mind,
Miss Charles,
you need to leave and let
the doctor examine Mr. McCall.
You being here is just causing
him even more stress.
>> Audra: Oh, am I?
Well, you can't get rid of
me that easily, Dawn.
I'm gonna stand right here
and have a front-row seat
when the doctor exposes
this fraudulent liar.
>> Tucker: Get out, Audra.
If I'm gonna take my last
breath, I don't want
to be looking at you.
