>> Summer: Yeah, I'm just at
the house to check on
Harrison now, so could you
push my four o'clock to five?
You know what, actually?
Could we just reschedule
that for tomorrow morning?
Yeah, I just want to spend some
extra time with my little guy.
Okay, thank you.
Bye.

>> Traci: Abby, honey, I'm going
to go make some tea.
Would you like some?
>> Abby: No, thank you.
>> Traci: Something a little
stronger, maybe?
Abby, are you okay?
>> Abby: I guess so.
>> Traci: Ashley was so happy
to see you.
She just lit up when you
walked into the room.
It was the right thing
for you to come.
>> Abby: It was so hard to see
her that way.
Locked away in an institution.
So vulnerable and alone.
I had no idea
it had gotten this bad.
>> Traci: I know. We--
we didn't know that either until
we came back to Paris the second
time and your mom was able
to sort of put together
what happened to her.
>> Abby: It sounded so terrible.
>> Traci: It was.
But Ashley is on her way back.
She has made
tremendous progress.
Even since the last time
I was there to visit.
That's what you have
to hold on to.
Focus on the hope that Ashley
can put all of this behind her.
[ Abby sighing ]
>> Billy: Hey,
just the two of us?
>> Lily: Uh, yeah.
Devon's on his way.
>> Billy: Okay, great.
When he arrives, we will
call Abby and Jill and
we can get the show on the road.
Abbott-Chancellor, here we come.
>> Lily: Well, I wouldn't get
ahead of yourself.
>> Billy: Why do you say that?
Is there a problem?
>> Lily: Uh, have you
spoken to Jill?
>> Billy: Yeah, I talked to her
this morning.
I made sure that she
knows everything's going
to go according to plan.
>> Lily: Okay, well, that's not
the message that I got.
She's concerned that maybe
I'm not completely on board with
the move and that I might
be having second thoughts.
>> Billy: Well, I hope
you set her straight.
>> Lily: I mean, I tried
to reassure her.
>> Billy: You're not thinking
about what Devon said yesterday,
are you?
>> Lily: No.
>> Billy: Okay, because Lily,
I swear on my life,
I would never do that, okay?
I would never use you to try and
push this vote through.
I would never betray you
like that.
And if I'm excited and jazzed up
about running this company
together with you,
it's because-- because I am,
and I think it's going
to be great, and I hope that
you feel the same way.
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean,
I'm going to follow through
on what needs to be done
and that I can promise.
>> Billy: Okay, good.
That's all I needed to hear.
>> Lily: I think the person that
we have to worry about
is your mother.
>> Summer: Hi.
>> Claire: Hello, Summer.
>> Summer: I was hoping to take
Harrison out for some ice cream
after his first day at camp.
>> Claire: Oh, no, I'm sorry.
>> Summer: Don't tell me you
beat me to it again.
>> Claire: It isn't that. Um,
Harrison's just so worn out from
playing with the other kids
that he's upstairs right now
taking a nap.
I think all that activity
must have gotten to him.
>> Summer: Are you sure
that's all it is?
>> Claire: What do you mean?
>> Summer: Well, it's just,
it's Harrison's first day being
away by himself
since the kidnapping and I'm
just-- I'm worried that he might
be having some issues with that.
>> Claire: He didn't seem to be.
>> Summer: What about the other
campers? I mean, were they
giving him a hard time at all?
>> Claire: No. Summer,
everyone got along great.
Harrison had a really good day.
And a lot of his friends
go to this camp.
They all know the story,
or a version of it, and they
think Harrison's a hero.
>> Summer: And you see that
as a positive thing?
>> Claire: I don't see it
as a problem.
Do you?
>> Summer: Harrison might enjoy
the attention right now,
but it also could trigger
traumatic memories for him
when he was terrified.
I just, I don't want him to have
any more nightmares.
>> Claire: I understand
your concerns.
I have the same ones.
But I swear to you
that if I thought those things
were happening, I would
tell you.
I feel like camp is a great
thing for him right now.
>> Summer: So, you're an expert
on summer camps, too.
>> Abby: You know, Aunt Traci,
I'm trying to stay positive,
but when I think about what
my mom went through with
Alan's psychotic brother.
>> Traci: Yes, if it was
a horror movie,
nobody would believe it.
>> Abby: And I was in the dark
the whole time.
Even when I felt like my mom
was off,
I just went about my life
thinking that my mom
was having mood swings.
But the truth was, she was being
driven out of her mind.
>> Traci: I know
and I'm so sorry.
>> Abby: How could you do this
to me?
You didn't think I could
handle it?
>> Traci: No, no, that's not
it at all.
>> Abby: Because I can,
you know?
>> Traci: Of course you can,
Abby. Of course, you can.
>> Abby: Then why did everyone
shut me out?
I wanted to be there for my mom,
the way that she had been there
for me all of these years,
but my mom must have been
thinking her-- her only daughter
was the only person in
her family who didn't care about
what she was going through.
>> Traci: That's not it at all.
Ashley wanted to protect you.
>> Abby: You know,
Billy said the same thing.
But I don't know
because my mom is struggling.
She was struggling
and you want me to believe that
she had the frame of mind to
order you to keep me out of it?
>> Traci: Honey, it's the truth.
When Ashley was really herself,
she didn't want any
of this to worry you.
>> Abby: You should have
told me.
>> Traci: You know what?
If we had it to do over again,
we would.
Your mother was in such
a fragile state of mind,
we didn't want to do
anything to upset her.
You're right.
Abby, we had no business
making that decision for you.
I'm sorry.
I, of all people,
should know better.
>> Abby: Why? What do you mean?
>> Traci: Well, I--
I've always been the youngest,
until years later when
Billy came along,
Jack and Ashley's first instinct
was always to protect me from
any crisis in the family.
It got even worse when
I moved to New York.
Some harrowing thing would
happen and I wouldn't hear about
it for weeks, sometimes months.
>> Abby: So, you get it.
>> Traci: I do get it
and I should have got it sooner.
And I promise,
it will never happen again.
Not with me.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Alan: Hello.
>> Traci: Alan,
what are you doing here? Hi.
>> Alan: Special delivery.
>> Traci: What-- what's this?
>> Alan: Something I thought
you might like. Open it.
Go ahead.
>> Traci: Uh, okay.
[ Traci gasping ]
>> Traci: Oh, it's--
it's gorgeous.
>> Alan: I saw you admiring it
through the window of
that boutique, so I thought
I'd surprise you.
>> Traci: You did.
>> Alan: Good.
>> Traci: Thank you.
Alan, I just-- I love it.
Oh, my gosh.
Come in. Please come in. Sorry.
>> Alan: Abby.
>> Abby: Hi.
>> Alan: When--
when did you get in?
>> Abby: Last night.
>> Alan: Abby, Ashley's gonna be
so happy that you're here.
She's gonna be really
thrilled to see you.
>> Traci: Actually, we just came
from visiting her.
>> Alan: And how did she seem?
>> Traci: Um, Abby is a little
shaken by seeing her mom
in the hospital like that,
but as I explained,
it's night and day from
when she was admitted.
I really feel like her
treatment is going very well.
>> Alan: This is what my
colleagues are saying as well.
You know, they're all
very optimistic about
a full recovery, really.
But it's just one small step
at a time, you know?
>> Abby: Yeah, yeah, I'm--
I'm trying to accept that,
but it's hard since this
is all new information for me.
>> Alan: Yeah.
>> Abby: But, Alan, I'm actually
glad that you're here
because I wanted to thank you in
person for everything
you did for my mom.
>> Alan: Oh, well, that's, uh,
that's very kind of you,
although I wouldn't be surprised
if you felt the opposite way.
>> Abby: You're not responsible
for what your brother did.
>> Traci: That's what I keep
reminding him.
>> Abby: You know, what happened
to my mom was-- was horrible,
but you lost your brother
and I can't imagine
how hard that is.
>> Alan: I lost Martin a long
time ago, really, but, uh,
thank you. Thank you very much.
That was very kind of you
to say.
[ phone pinging ]
>> Traci: Is everything
all right, honey?
>> Abby: You know how I said
I was strong enough
to handle anything?
This might put that to the test.
>> Billy: You don't have
to worry about Mom.
>> Lily: Well, you keep saying
that, but she did not seem like
she was on board with
the dividing the companies.
She had very strong concerns.
>> Billy: Okay, yeah, she voiced
those concerns to me as well,
but I think one thing
we're forgetting here
is that I have her voting power,
okay, so it's gonna be fine.
>> Lily: Are you sure
that's still on?
>> Billy: Yes, of course it is.
>> Lily: Then why did she tell
me that she might vote on
her own today?
Oh, my God.
Billy, I thought
you had this wrapped up.
>> Billy: I did. I do.
>> Lily: Okay, it doesn't
seem that way.
>> Billy: No, let's not blow
this out of proportion.
>> Lily: This plan is completely
off the rails.
>> Billy: Lily, it's fine.
>> Lily: I mean, you led me,
you led all of us to believe
that she was 100% on board
with this.
So were you lying
or was that just false bravado?
>> Billy: No, of course not.
I'll call her right now
to work it out.
>> Lily: It's too late for that.
>> Billy: Lily, calm down.
We're fine.
>> Lily: Okay, don't tell me
to calm down
because I might have just turned
on my brother for nothing.
I mean, what are we gonna do?
We're gonna work here
miserably ever after?
>> Billy: Of course not.
>> Lily: How do you think
that's gonna turn out?
>> Billy: Listen, hold on.
Just let me explain it, okay?
>> Lily: Yeah, sure, explain how
we're headed off a cliff.
>> Billy: Lily, we're fine.
I did not lie to you
and I'm not trying to
be big man here, okay?
I am very confident that
my mother is not gonna
backstab me like that.
She knows how important this is
to me personally and
professionally, and if she
did something like that,
that type of betrayal
would cause a permanent rupture.
She does not want that right
now, especially not now, okay?
This vote will go our way.
I promise you that.
This merger will end today
as is planned.
>> Devon: Everybody ready
for this meeting?
>> Lily: Uh, yeah.
Jill and Abby are ready to go.
>> Devon: Let's do it.
>> Billy: Um, can you give me
a minute?
Actually, there's, uh...
There's something I would
like to share with you.
>> Devon: Can we just get to
the end of this meeting, Billy?
>> Billy: I think you're gonna
want to know this.
>> Devon: If this is, like,
a last-minute trick you're
trying to pull, I'm gonna leave.
>> Billy: It's not.
In fact, I think it'll
help explain my reasoning
and my urgency behind wanting
to separate the companies.
>> Devon: Okay.
>> Billy: Uh...
my mom...
she's sick.
>> Traci: Well, this board
meeting sounds really big.
>> Abby: It is. I--
I wish I could tell you
about it, but, um--
>> Traci: Oh, honey, no.
I've been around enough Jabot
deals. I understand discretion.
You tell me about it
when it's all over.
>> Abby: I will. I promise.
>> Traci: I have no doubt that
whatever decision is required,
you'll make the right one.
>> Abby: Thank you.
Um, I'm gonna go take it up
in my bedroom. That way,
it won't bother you two.
>> Alan: Well, I was, uh,
gonna ask Traci out for drinks
anyway, if you'd like.
>> Traci: Oh, I would love to.
>> Alan: All right, great.
And please, uh, join us after
your call, if you'd like.
We'll have Traci text you
where we are.
>> Traci: Is it the same place?
>> Alan: Yes. It's beginning
to feel like our place
a little bit, huh? Shall we?
>> Traci: Yeah, let's.
>> Abby: All right. And we'll,
uh, we'll talk to you later.
>> Traci: Bye.
>> Alan: Bye-bye.
>> Devon: What do you mean
that she's sick?
Like, what's wrong with her?
>> Billy: Fancy medical words
for her heart.
It's not working the way
it's supposed to.
>> Devon: And what did
the doctors say?
>> Billy: Well, I mean,
she's getting treatment
and they're testing
new medications, but, uh,
she's not out of the woods yet,
and you know doctors, they're
not gonna guarantee anything.
>> Devon: All right.
And it's been going on
for a while?
Wow.
>> Billy: Look, I would have
said something earlier,
but she swore me to secrecy,
but I-- I hope this
helps you understand
why I wanted to add--
want to add Abbott to
the company letterhead because,
you know, for her...
For her legacy while she's
still here to see it.
>> Devon: Yeah.
All right.
And, hey, you knew about this?
>> Lily: I did.
>> Billy: Lily's the only one
that I confided in,
and-- and Chance knows because
my mom told him personally,
but she doesn't want
anyone to know about this,
so out of respect for my mom,
I hope we can not say
anything during the call.
>> Devon: Oh, yeah, for sure.
>> Billy: Thank you.
>> Devon: I won't say a word.
>> Billy: Appreciate it.
>> Devon: Yeah. I do find this
very interesting, though.
>> Billy: What's interesting?
>> Devon: The timing
is interesting.
It's...
You essentially decided to
drop this bomb right before
we're about to decide on
dividing the company.
>> Billy: Yeah, I--
I understand that,
but I-- I thought it'd be a good
thing to, uh, to let you know
where I'm coming from.
>> Devon: Well, I think the--
the jury is still out on that.
>> Billy: Why do you say that?
>> Devon: Well, because you
could have shared this
information with me back when
Jill first gave you
all of her power, or when
you first came up with this idea
to demerge the company.
But you didn't do that.
You've waited 'til right now.
And why at the last moment?
Is it to try and get
a sympathy vote out of me?
>> Billy: I see it
as a courtesy.
>> Devon: Oh, okay.
I mean, if you say so.
>> Billy: You can think
whatever you want, okay?
I really don't care
how you see me or my motives.
At the end of the day, my mother
gave me her voting power,
so if you want to turn this into
a conspiracy theory,
you go right ahead, but you're
playing that game by yourself.
>> Jill: Hello?
>> Billy: Hi, Mom.
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Jill: Ah, I've been waiting.
Surely everyone's on by now.
>> Devon: Just have to get
ahold of Abby.
>> Lily You look good, Jill.
>> Jill: Oh, thanks.
>> Lily: Yeah, you seem rested.
>> Jill: Well, God knows I've
been getting plenty of that.
>> Devon: How you feeling, Jill?
>> Jill: I've been feeling okay.
Why do you ask?
>> Devon: I just haven't talked
to you in a while. Just curious.
>> Jill: Yeah, sure you were.
You told them,
didn't you, Billy?
>> Traci: Are you sure you're
okay being here?
>> Alan: Yeah, I'm having
a great time.
>> Traci: Good. I--
I just was--
[ Traci sighing ]
>> Traci: Never mind.
>> Alan: What is it, Traci?
>> Traci: Well, I know that
this is the place that Ashley
met Martin and the whole thing
started and I'm sure this is
bringing a lot of things
up for you.
>> Alan: Well, it does.
>> Traci: And it doesn't
bother you?
>> Alan: It's kind of a closure
in a way, you know?
I mean, I have to live with
Martin's crimes, his illness,
the fact that he was sad
and lonely, but also,
you know, I'm mourning
someone I love very much.
It's-- it's...
>> Traci: Complicated emotions.
>> Alan: Yeah, very complicated.
But, you know, being here with
you, it feels like you, uh...
you cleanse the place, you know?
[ Traci laughing ]
>> Alan: I feel like I'm
replacing the bad memories
I had here with good memories
of you.
>> Traci: Oh, well, good.
I'm so glad that you think these
are gonna be good memories.
>> Alan: No, they already are.
They already are.
No, I feel like you, uh,
I feel like you sage
the place, you know?
>> Traci: Sage?
>> Alan: Yeah, you know, when
they burn sage to
drive away negative energy?
I-- I...
I feel like you, uh,
you do that.
>> Traci: Well, I don't know
about that.
>> Alan: Well, it's true.
Being with you is...
It's just very reassuring.
You know,
your kindness, compassion...
It's just very rare.
>> Traci: Oh, well, thank you.
>> Alan: Well, that's why I like
talking to you so much.
You mean that.
I know all that's real.
>> Traci: Alan, I--
I think that
when you have been through
some of the experiences that
I've been through, well, I have
started to look at
life as a continuum,
from the very great joy to
bone-cracking sorrow, you know?
Um, from happiness
to heartbreak, love, sadness.
The whole messy package.
Y-- you just have to find
a way to accept it.
All of it.
And you have to find a way
to move forward.
At least that's what
I've tried to do.
>> Alan: That is a lesson we can
all learn from you.
>> Traci: Oh, no, no, no.
You flatter me again
and I think that we've had quite
enough of talking about me.
>> Alan: Oh, I don't think so.
I could talk about you
all night long.
>> Traci: Oh, well, but I know
so little about you.
>> Alan: Oh, well,
there's not really much to tell.
>> Traci: I think I should be
the judge of that.
>> Alan: Oh, okay. So,
uh, what do you want to know?
>> Traci: Uh...
everything.
>> Claire: Summer,
you're clearly upset.
Let's talk about it.
>> Summer: Look, I--
I already told you,
I'm just concerned about my son.
>> Claire: I understand that.
>> Summer: I-- I don't know how
you could, considering you've
never had a child,
especially one who just went
through a horrific event like
Harrison just did.
>> Claire: Caused by my
Aunt Jordan, yes, I know.
>> Summer: I wasn't bringing up
that part.
>> Claire: You don't have to.
It's true. I've never had kids.
And up until recently, I never
had parents or their love or
desire to do what's best for me,
but I do have that now
and I can see how much
they worry about me.
I can feel it.
So, I must know a little bit
what it must be like for you.
And I can only tell you
what I've already said.
Harrison is a really strong
and resilient little boy
and a big part of that is
because he's so completely
confident in his parents' love
for him.
And Harrison's love for you,
it's as natural to him
as breathing.
And I would just, I would hate
if you felt that...
That I was in some way
hurting that.
>> Kyle: Hey.
I got your message.
Is everything all right?
>> Claire: I'll go check on
Harrison and see
if he's gotten a second wind.
>> Summer: No, I can do it.
We'll talk after.
>> Kyle: What did I
just walk in on?
>> Claire: Nothing you haven't
seen before.
I don't think Summer's ever
going to be comfortable with
me being in Harrison's life.
>> Jill: Damn it, Billy!
>> Billy: Uh, let me
explain, okay?
>> Jill: I specifically told you
not to tell anyone
about my condition, if that's
what you want to call it.
>> Billy: Okay, I understand
that, but given the
circumstances, I thought it was
fair that they know.
>> Jill: What about my right
to privacy?
>> Billy: Again, Mom, I'm sorry,
but I made the call.
>> Jill: Why did you make
the call? Was it to
get Devon and Lily to feel sorry
for me so they would give you
what you want?
>> Billy: Yeah, you and Devon
share that opinion.
It's not true, by the way.
>> Lily: How are
you feeling, Jill?
>> Devon: Is there anything that
you need or that we can
do for you?
>> Jill: No, but thank you,
thank you. I've got
a lot of good doctors,
so many that I can't even
remember their names.
In fact, there's even
a rumor I might live.
>> Lily: Well, Abby will have to
know about this,
but besides her,
we will not tell another soul.
>> Jill: Speaking of Abby,
where is she?
>> Devon: I'll let her know
we're ready.
>> Jill: Good.
It's time to get this over with.
>> Abby: Hello, is everybody on?
>> Devon: Yeah, we're all here.
How you doing?
>> Abby: It's been a long day,
but we can talk about it later.
>> Devon: All right, for
sure. I'll call you afterwards.
>> Jill: Let's get started.
>> Lily: I'm calling this
meeting of the Chancellor
Winters Board of Directors to
discuss the proposed separation
of the two companies.
>> Jill: Since this involves the
future of the company that I
built, I'm going to be
exercising my own vote.
>> Billy: Understood.
You know where I stand.
And I'm hoping now that
everyone had a little
bit of time with the proposal,
this vote will be a formality.
>> Devon: It might be to you.
It's not to me, though.
>> Billy: Okay, Devon, why don't
you go ahead
and voice your concerns?
>> Devon: Just a little curious
about how we're actually going
to divide things up.
Who's going to get what?
>> Billy: Well, we've already
talked about this, Chancellor.
We'll take all the assets that
they came in with, and the
same thing will happen
with Winters.
>> Devon: Right, I understand
that part. But what about
the new divisions that were
created after the merger took
place, like the video games
and Omega Sphere?
Who gets that?
>> Billy: We can figure that out
later. Right now, this is an
overall concept on whether we
want to divide the companies.
>> Devon: Right, but how the
assets are divided is part of
the overall concept.
And I'd like to not just kick
that down the road and wait.
>> Billy: Okay. Um...
Because gaming falls more
easily under
the Winters umbrella,
you can have Omega Sphere.
Every other company that was
created after and under this
merger, Abbott-Chancellor,
we'll take those companies.
Does that make
sense, everyone?
>> Devon: Yeah, sounds good
to me.
>> Billy: Great.
Any other concerns?
>> Abby: Should we have a vote
whether to discuss the details
now, or wait?
>> Billy: I vote waiting.
>> Lily: I agree.
>> Jill: I'll make that
a majority. Let's vote.
[ Traci laughing ]
>> Traci: I can see that I've
terrified you.
Oh, Alan.
When I meant that I wanted
to know everything about you,
about you, Martin doesn't have
to be a part of this.
>> Alan: Well, it's kind of hard
to do that without
including Martin.
>> Traci: Ah, twins, of course.
>> Alan: Mm. We were
inseparable, you know?
All the cliches abound.
Two halves of
the same whole.
But I'll say this, it's
impossible to be lonely when
you grow up a twin.
>> Traci: Oh.
And I'm very close
to my brother and sister,
but I'm sure
it's nothing like that.
Yeah-- to grow up with such
companionship, to have that
sense of security that there's
someone on Earth who knows
you better than anyone else,
must be a really intense bond.
>> Alan: It is, exactly.
Ah, the things we used to do
when we were kids.
>> Traci: Like what?
>> Alan: Mmm. We used to
pretend to be each
other, and see if
people could tell.
>> Traci: Oh, you know what?
I've heard that twins
try to do that.
>> Alan: As I said,
all the cliches abound.
>> Traci: Did you get
away with it?
>> Alan: Uh, yeah, for the most
part we did, but my mother
could always tell.
You know, I was always the
serious one, always reading and
thinking great thoughts at ten.
[ Traci chuckling ]
>> Alan: But Martin was
the more personable one.
You know, he'd get along
with anyone at any age.
He was...
such a dreamer.
So sweet when he was young.
Wanted to conquer the world.
Sad, such a loss, huh?
>> Traci: Especially for you.
Someone so close to you.
So much a part of you,
suddenly gone.
Alan, I'm so sorry.
>> Alan: Sorry? For what?
>> Traci: I-- I'm sorry that
I made you go there.
We can talk about anything else
you want to.
>> Alan: No, no, no, really.
You know, I-- I think it's good,
because I've needed to process
this, and, you know, get it all
out, and...
Truth is, I don't
usually open up.
I don't usually talk to people.
>> Traci: Really?
Well, then I am very glad that
I could be that person for you.
>>> Traci: If you weren't such
an amazing writer, you'd be
a fantastic therapist.
You really can read
people's hearts.
>> Kyle: So Summer's still
giving you a hard time.
>> Claire: That isn't why I
brought up her not being
thrilled with me.
>> Kyle: Mmm.
>> Claire: I need to coordinate
more with her, make sure Summer
gets to spend more
time with Harrison.
>> Kyle: That's very thoughtful,
of you, Claire, but this isn't
your problem to solve.
No one is standing in the way
of Summer seeing her son.
>> Claire: But there have
been some occasions where she's
felt left out.
I get it.
She has a job.
She can't be in two places
at once.
So it's part of my job to make
it easier for her.
[ Kyle sighing ]
>> Kyle: How is he?
>> Summer: He was still
sleeping. I didn't want to
disturb him.
Uh, he looked a little
sunburned, actually.
Maybe that's why he's so tired.
Did-- did you put sunscreen
on him earlier?
>> Claire: I did.
But I probably could have
used more.
Be more on top of it
from now on.
>> Summer: Thank you.
>> Claire: I'll go make Harrison
a snack for when he wakes up.
He's bound to be hungry.
>> Kyle: Really, Summer?
>> Summer: What?
>> Summer: You're busting
her on sunscreen?
>> Summer: I'm not busting
anybody. And Claire seemed
to take the suggestion
just fine.
So what's your problem, Kyle?
>> Kyle: I don't have one.
>> Summer: I do.
What's going on between
you and Audra?
>> Kyle: I don't owe you any
explanations about who I spend
my time with.
>> Summer: Well, I think you do,
when it comes to her.
>> Kyle: Okay, fir--
>> Summer: What's wrong
with you, Kyle?
>> Kyle: First of all, it's not
anything like you think it is.
>> Summer: You have no
idea what I think.
>> Kyle: There is nothing
personal going on between
me and Audra.
Truth is, I left Jabot.
>> Summer: You quit?
>> Kyle: I was fired, actually,
by my mom.
>> Summer: Diane fired you?
>> Kyle: She was threatened
by me constantly proving her
incompetence right and left,
so she had me removed.
>> Summer: What did Jack have
to say about that?
>> Kyle: Not so much, as it
turns out. Mmm.
Too bad, kid.
It's her call, so you're out.
>> Summer: Kyle, I...
Kyle, I don't even know
what to say. I-- I--
I'm sorry. I-- I--
I know that must have hurt you.
>> Kyle: Yeah, well, it opened
my eyes, I can tell you
that much.
>> Summer: What does any of this
have to do with Audra?
>> Kyle: Audra now runs
Glissade. Tucker McCall's old
company, and Tucker is out of
the picture completely.
>> Summer: Hmm, we've heard
that before.
>> Kyle: No, it's true. Uh...
She turned the board against
them, and they voted them out.
>> Summer: Audra did that alone?
>> Kyle: Not entirely alone.
She brought on a new investor
that now owns the company.
>> Summer: Who?
>> Kyle: They want to keep their
identity under wraps for now.
>> Summer: Let me guess
the rest of the story.
Audra wants you to come
work for her.
>> Kyle: Mmm. Not for her.
With her, we'd both be co-CEOs.
Clean slate and all that.
>> Summer: Are you out
of your mind?
>> Alan: You know, last night, I
downloaded one of your novels.
>> Traci: You're kidding!
>> Alan: Mm-hmm.
>> Traci: Really, which one?
>> Alan: It was "Echoes of
the Past." I mean, incredible.
It was really fant-- I
could not put it down.
I was up all night long.
>> Traci: Oh, that was a really
good one. It's about Ashley,
and me.
Very personal.
>> Alan: Yes.
And very much like you.
Kind and loving and beautiful.
Inside and out.
>> Jill: You don't look
happy, Devon.
>> Devon: I'll-- I mean, that's
not really the point of
today, right, Jill?
>> Abby: Devon, if you're having
issues with us...
>> Devon: No!
I'm not having any issues at
all. Let's get to the voting.
>> Lily: Okay.
The topic on the table is to
separate Chancellor-Winters
into two companies.
>> Billy: I vote separate.
>> Lily: I agree.
>> Devon: It's really
what you want?
>> Lily: Yes, it is.
>> Devon: Okay.
Then I vote the same.
Yes.
>> Abby: Well, it seems like
a fair solution, and what
everybody wants, so I vote yes.
>> Billy: Does everyone want
this? Mom?
>> Jill: Mmm. I find myself
in the unfortunate position of
casting a vote that really
won't mean anything.
You already have the majority.
>> Lily: Well, it means
something to me, Jill.
>> Billy: It means something
to me, too.
I think it means something
to all of us.
>> Lily: So, Jill,
what do you think?
[ Jill chuckling ]
>> Jill: I guess I should've
prepared a concession speech
for this moment.
>> Billy: Mom, this is not
a loss, okay? Your vote means
so much more, even if these
companies separate.
>> Jill: Oh, good try, son,
but I am not convinced.
All right, I'm gonna speak
from my heart.
I think what you're about to do
is a huge, horrible mistake.
>> Lily: Why?
>> Jill: Because, Lily, despite
all the problems and the
infighting, this company has
prospered during the merger.
I hate that Billy and Devon
couldn't make it work.
And what I hate most of all is
that the only option we have is
to tear it all apart.
>> Devon: So-- okay, so what
are you saying?
>> Jill: I'm saying that I am
voting no. I realize it's only
a symbolic gesture, but it is
the only way I can truly express
how I feel.
And, Billy, you got
what you want.
I only hope it's worth it
to you in the end.
>> Devon: I'll call you
in a little bit.
>> Abby: Okay.
[ Devon sighing ]
>> Lily: Well, it's done.
>> Billy: You don't
seem excited.
>> Lily: I'm not.
I feel like we let Jill down.
[ Alan chuckling ]
>> Traci: Oh, my goodness.
That was the best evening.
I had the most wonderful time.
>> Alan: So did I.
Thank you for your patience
and kindness, Lily.
>> Lily Oh!
Thank you for sharing some of
your story with me.
>> Alan: Well, I think I could
trust you with just about
anything. So, anyway,
good night.
>> Alan: Yes.
[ Traci gasping ]
>> Summer: Do I really need to
list all the reasons why this is
a terrible idea?
>> Kyle: Do I have a choice?
>> Summer: First of all,
this whole secret owner thing,
it's sketchy, all by itself.
>> Kyle: That's your opinion.
And what we just talked about,
it stays between us, okay?
>> Summer: No, I'm not gonna
tell a soul. I mean,
it's too embarrassing.
Kyle, you would be
going into competition with your
own family's company,
the company I still work for,
by the way.
>> Kyle: Summer, Glissade won't
go after Marchetti.
Our target is Jabot, because we
are a cosmetics company.
And if you think I'm going to
feel bad about going after them
after what they did to me,
you're dead wrong.
>> Summer: I admit,
what happened to you
seems unfair.
>> Kyle: Unfair?
It was an out-and-out betrayal.
It was treacherous.
>> Summer: Kyle, look...
I understand that you're
angry, okay?
I'm just asking you to think
about it for a second.
Doing this is a declaration of
war against your own family.
And Diane might deserve that.
But does Jack?
And talk about treacherous?
I mean, are you forgetting what
Audra did to you last time?
>> Kyle: Oh, now hold on,
it was a deception on
both sides. It's a different
dynamic this time.
>> Summer: I think it sounds
like a recipe for disaster.
>> Kyle: Well, that's your
opinion. But I-- it was my
decision, so if it goes wrong,
I'll try something else.
>> Summer: I think you're
a fool, Kyle.
And I'm warning you,
I do not want Audra
anywhere near Harrison.
>> Kyle: What? Summer, why do
you keep trying to dictate
who I spend time with?
>> Summer: Honestly, I don't
care who you spend time with, or
what you spend your time doing.
I just care about
Harrison, okay?
Maybe it's time we revisit
our custody agreement.
>> Kyle: I'm sorry,
is that a threat?
>> Summer: Call it what
you want.
>> Kyle: Summer, do you really
want to go there?
Do you really think that would
be good for our son?
>> Summer: Uh, look, I, um...
I'm going to have my attorney
call yours.
[ Kyle sighing ]
>> Claire: Everything all right?
>> Kyle: Um, no, no, it's not
all right, but I don-- I don't
want to get into it
with Harrison here.
So, you know what?
Have dinner with me tonight.
I'll tell you all about it.
