>> Sally: So, these are the
looks that we talked about
for the winter line.
That's the outerwear.
>> Summer: Mm.
>> Sally: Mm-hmm?
>> Summer: Okay.
>> Sally: You can see,
I shortened the coat
a little bit. And this is the
formal piece. Chelsea really
nailed the silhouette.
>> Summer: Yeah. Mm.
>> Sally: And we-- we tweaked
the collar just a little bit.
And-- and Chloe also
mentioned that in addition to
the black, we should do
this in a midnight blue.
>> Summer: Sure. Sure.
>> Sally: You don't seem really
happy with these looks.
>> Summer: Ugh.
I'm sorry. I...
I'm not really happy.
But it has nothing to do
with these designs.
Usually, a winter collection
has a heaviness about it,
but there's a lightness here.
It's really smart, and unique.
>> Sally: Oh, good, because
that's exactly what
I was going for.
>> Summer: Honestly, Sally,
it's really great.
>> Sally: Is everything
all right? What's going on?
>> Summer: Um, you know what?
Can we just keep
focused on work?
I actually kind of
need the distraction.
>> Sally: Yeah.
I mean, you're the boss. And
I-- I can make any changes that
you want me to make to these.
>> Summer: I appreciate you
bending over backwards
to play nice.
>> Sally: I mean, it's kind of
easy to do when you like
what I've done. I-- Part of me
was ready to fight to the death
if you were going to try and
kill any of these designs, even
though it's Chelsea's vision
for the brand.
>> Summer: Hey, you didn't just
execute Chelsea's vision.
I mean, what you added made
these looks better.
Honestly, Sally, I'm-- I'm still
kind of surprised at how well
this is working out.
You know, when Chelsea came to
me and she wanted to take
a step back to focus on Connor,
I really didn't
have many choices.
Hiring you was kind of an act
of desperation on my part.
>> Sally: Yeah, I mean, I--
I know we have a history and I
had to prove myself.
>> Summer: Well, you have.
And now that this winter
collection is back on schedule,
I think it's time that
we make some changes.
>> Chelsea: Okay, well, Connor,
we know you have to go, but
we'll talk soon, all right?
>> Adam: All right, keep up
the good work, buddy.
We love you.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
>> Chelsea: Did that
really just happen?
>> Adam: It's hard to believe
after everything he's been
through, but our son might
actually be getting better.
>> Chelsea: I mean, we're not
supposed to get our hopes up,
you know, after every phone
call. The doctors keep saying,
we can't expect too much.
>> Adam: Hey, not today, though.
Dr. Hammond said this really is
a breakthrough in the
treatment of his OCD.
>> Chelsea: I mean, he was so
direct. He was so articulate
about his condition, about his
treatment. It's like he-- it's
like he's finally understanding
what's really happening to him.
>> Adam: And-- and he's not
hurting himself again.
And now he thinks if he has
those feelings again, he has
tools to stop that
from happening.
He's gonna beat this, Chelsea.
I know he is.
>> Chelsea: Oh, my God,
I hope you're right.
I mean, even if he has to live
with this for the rest of his
life, for the first time since
his diagnosis, I can see what
that life may look like.
>> Adam: Yeah.
And the hopes and dreams that
we had for our son.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. We--
we can dare to have 'em again.
Oh, my gosh.
♪♪♪
>> Adam: Oh. Mm.
[ Adam sighing ]
Uh, sorry.
>> Chelsea: No, I'm-- I'm sorry.
I-- I initiated that hug.
That was...
>> Adam: No, look, I...
I took your hand when we were
on the call--
>> Chelsea: No, that's big, but
we-- we had gotten
good news, so...
>> Adam: Well, yeah, we--
I mean, we got really good news.
So, we don't have anything to
feel badly about.
>> Chelsea: No, we're--
>> Adam: Well, not anything
that we did today.
>> Chelsea: We're allowed to
feel good, Adam.
>> Adam: Yeah, anything to
spite guilt and pain.
>> Chelsea: This isn't about us.
You know? This is
about our son.
>> Adam: Well, I have been the
biggest pessimist about his
condition. And I believe he's
gonna get better,
so you should, too.
>> Chelsea: I do.
So, I should, um...
I'm gonna go find Billy.
>> Adam: Chelsea.
Look, we've been there for each
other because it's
what Connor needed.
>> Chelsea: I know, Adam.
And I know Connor still needs
that from us.
But what happened between us in
that hotel room--
[ knocking on door ]
>> Adam: Dad, what are
you doing here?
>> Victor: I hope I'm
not interrupting.
>> Adam: Come in.
>> Victor: Thank you.
Hello, Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Hello, Victor.
>> Victor: Everything
all right?
>> Adam: Um, we just got off
a call with Connor.
>> Victor: Oh.
How's my grandson?
>> Adam: He's getting better.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah,
the doctors think he's
making some real progress.
>> Victor: Happy to hear that.
Will he be home soon?
>> Adam: Well, he's taken a big
step, but he's still got
a long way to go.
>> Victor: Any way I can help?
>> Chelsea: Oh, that's so nice.
Uh, not really.
I wanted to thank you, though,
for letting us borrow the jet
for our visits to Baltimore.
>> Victor: I'm very glad
to do it. Anytime, all right?
Must have been tough for both
of you, to have him so far away.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Adam: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: But things
are really looking up now.
>> Victor: Good.
Chelsea, if you don't mind, I'd
like a word alone with Adam.
>> Chelsea: No problem.
I was on my way out. I have
a meeting with Summer.
>> Victor: All right.
>> Adam: Oh, you're
already back to work?
>> Chelsea: Well, she wanted to
meet with me. She didn't say
why. It's probably something
I have to fix with
the winter line.
>> Adam: Mm.
>> Chelsea: Adam, what happened
today with Connor, it really
puts things in perspective.
I'm starting to feel like maybe
things will be okay.
>> Adam: They will be.
>> Chelsea: All right.
We'll talk later.
Bye, Victor.
>> Victor: Bye, Chelsea.
>> Adam: So, what
brings you by?
>> Victor: You know
why I'm here.
>> Adam: You want to know if I'm
going to take you up on your
offer to head up Newman Media?
>> Victor: Yeah.
Can I count on you?
>> Sally: I'm confused.
I thought we just established
that you were happy with the
work that I was doing.
>> Summer: I am.
>> Sally: Okay.
Well, I mean, if this is about
Chloe, she was a huge part of
these designs, and really
the only reason that we could
stay under budget.
>> Summer: That's great.
Thank her for me.
I am learning to appreciate
someone's passion, even if
I don't always appreciate
their personality.
>> Sally: Well, Chloe has been
on her best behavior.
And so have I.
>> Summer: No, I've noticed.
I haven't felt any attempts
at sabotage.
I haven't received any offers
from fashion houses in
Paris or Milan.
>> Sally: Yeah, well, I'm really
glad that we can joke
about that now.
But it is kind of ironic that
my scheme to get you out of
a job here in Genoa City...
>> Summer: Has brought us to
the point where you're now
working for me at Marchetti?
>> Sally: Yes, and now we're...
>> Summer: Finishing
each other's sentences?
[ both laughing ]
>> Sally: Yeah.
>> Summer: I-- I don't think
that we'll ever be best friends.
>> Sally: Eh-- understandable.
I am just thankful and grateful
to be a part of your team.
>> Summer: How would you feel
about leading a team
of your own?
>> Sally: I'm listening.
>> Summer: Okay, good.
'Cause I thought that we could
discuss this--
>> Chelsea: Hi.
Sorry, I thought this meeting
was just going to
be with Summer.
Sally, you didn't mention you
would be here when I saw you
today at lunch.
>> Sally: I didn't realize you
were going to be a part of it.
>> Summer: No, I wanted you both
here, so that we could all
discuss this idea that I have
for a more permanent position
for Sally at Marchetti.
>> Chelsea: Are you firing me
and giving my job to Sally?
>> Nate: Don't you want to come
up for air for just a minute?
>> Audra: Uh...
>> Nate: First day at Glissade,
and she's still at it.
You know that work will keep
until tomorrow, right?
>> Audra: Yeah, it's already
tomorrow in Paris.
>> Nate: The sun never sets on
the Audra Charles Empire, huh?
>> Audra: Something like that.
>> Nate: So I shouldn't take it
personally that you barely
looked at me since I sat down.
>> Audra: Look, I'm just trying
to prove you wrong.
>> Nate: About?
>> Audra: Me.
>> Nate: How was I
wrong about you?
>> Audra: It's clear you think
I'm not up to the challenge
of running a multinational
cosmetics startup.
>> Nate: Hang on.
I never said that.
>> Audra: You said my new
venture might be more trouble
than I can handle.
>> Nate: If it was just you,
world, look out.
You know my main concern is you
having to watch your back
because of Kyle Abbott and this
mysterious investor of yours.
>> Audra: And you also
brought up the threat of Tucker
crawling from beneath whatever
rock he took refuge under.
>> Nate: Well, Tucker definitely
didn't crawl under that rock.
You dropped it on him.
>> Audra: Which proves I can
handle things just fine.
>> Nate: No doubt.
I'm just looking out
for a friend.
>> Audra: And I'm glad you're
looking out for me.
But do you have to be
so literal about it?
Are you seriously going to sit
there and watch me work?
>> Nate: No, I am not.
Please, come with me.
>> Summer: I have no intention
of replacing you with Sally.
I am very committed
to you and your vision.
>> Sally: So am I.
>> Chelsea: So, then what did
I miss here? I mean, Marchetti
isn't big enough for
two creative directors.
>> Summer: Actually, I have been
thinking about expanding
the brand. And I heard that you
were in town, and I wanted to
discuss it with you.
>> Chelsea: Oh.
Okay, I'm intrigued.
>> Summer: So, basically we have
the market cornered in classic
and upscale, right?
And I've been thinking about
creating a new line at
Marchetti that's trendier.
For a younger demographic.
We could call it Marchetti Z.
Target that generation.
>> Sally: That's a great idea.
>> Summer: You think so?
Because actually,
I was considering making you
the lead designer.
>> Sally: Seriously?
I mean, I'd be thrilled.
>> Chelsea: I love this idea.
>> Sally: Do you?
Because I know after this
opportunity you gave me to help
you with your winter line,
I just wouldn't want to take
anything away from you.
>> Chelsea: No, I'm sorry if
I acted territorial before. I--
It's just, I-- You know,
I needed to step away,
but this job does mean
a lot to me.
>> Summer: And look,
I completely relate to that.
Sometimes work is the only
place that you feel like you
have any control.
>> Sally: And given everything
that you've been through with
Connor, I do not want to
in any way threaten that.
>> Chelsea: Listen, I'm the one
who pitched you to cover for me.
So, you don't have to
sell me on this.
I think it is a win-win, for
Marchetti and for Sally.
>> Summer: So?
What do you say?
>> Sally: Uh... okay.
Well, uh, I'm just going to skip
over the part where I attempt
false modesty, and just say, the
truth is, I-- I think it's
a great concept, and I think
I would absolutely crush it.
>> Summer: All right.
Well, I'm glad we don't
have to waste any time
building up your confidence.
Look, we definitely need to
discuss this further, but, um...
first, I would really love to
hear how Connor's doing.
>> Sally: Yeah, yeah, me--
me too. I-- I know that he was
released from inpatient, but
I haven't had a chance to talk
with Adam about how
your video call went.
>> Chelsea: Well, uh, I don't
want to get too excited, but it
seems that Connor's
turned a corner. He seems
to be getting better.
When this all first started,
you know, we didn't see
that he was sick.
We didn't see the disease.
And then once we did realize it,
and he was getting help, it was
hard to look at our son and not
see the OCD, and not feel this
intense guilt, thinking
we might have caused it.
>> Summer: Wow.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, but now, um,
after this video chat, I saw my
son again. My-- my son,
you know, and he-- and he's
really-- He's fighting this
thing with everything he's got.
>> Summer: That is so great.
I'm-- I'm so happy for you,
and for Connor and Adam.
>> Sally: Adam must be thrilled.
>> Chelsea: Uh, yeah, you know,
we're just trying to keep our
feet on the ground.
Um, here can be setbacks along
the way, uh, but the
doctors feel like this is
a great first step, so.
>> Summer: Well, it seems like
you and Adam are really in
sync with the whole co-parenting
thing. That's amazing.
Not everyone's that lucky.
>> Chelsea: Mm. Yeah, no,
I don't know. Um, Adam and I
don't really always bring out
the best in each other, so...
>> Sally: Uh, well, that's not
really what I've been seeing.
I mean, Adam has been an
emotional wreck, and I do
what I can to understand and be
there for him, but I'm really
grateful that Adam has you
to lean on too.
>> Adam: Dad, I'm not going to
waste my breath trying to
convince you of a parent's need
to put their kids first.
I know Victoria tried to get
you to understand why she
wanted to focus on Claire and
Johnny and Katie, and that
argument fell on deaf ears.
>> Victor: Victoria will
come around in time.
She realizes her proper
place is at Newman Enterprises,
alongside her brother, Nicholas.
>> Adam: And here, I thought
that was my place.
>> Victor: Your place, really.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. Um...
Nick and I are getting along
just fine at work.
I mean, unless he's
told you different.
>> Victor: Mm-mm, he hasn't.
>> Adam: I'll admit, I do need
a distraction from my personal
drama, so I am intrigued
by your offer.
But I'll be damned if I'm going
to get dragged into one of your
wars without knowing who it is
we're fighting.
>> Victor: No reason to
know who that is.
>> Adam: You want me on the
front lines, I'm going to
need a name.
>> Victor: All right.
If that is what it takes,
I will let you know who it is
that I'm targeting.
>> Audra: Why are we here?
>> Nate: To watch the sunset
on your first day
as head of Glissade.
[ Audra sighing ]
>> Audra: Yeah, it's been
quite a day.
>> Nate: Is that why
all the sighs?
>> Audra: No, today started with
the high of the posting of that
article that built me up, all
about how I'm living the dream.
And then, people started coming
at me with all sorts of
real-world problems.
>> Nate: Such as?
>> Audra: Did you know the price
of glass went up 30% last year?
Which means those little
bottles we put nail polish in
either have to get smaller or
the price we charge to the
consumer has to get bigger.
>> Nate: Ah. That is
a real-world problem.
>> Audra: Yeah. Then, there's
the supply chain issues, as they
relate to a certain shade of
pink pigment for any lipstick
line. Oh, and the fight
to keep cheap knock-offs of
our fragrances from getting to
market. But I won't bore you
with any of the details.
Wait, I just did, didn't I?
>> Nate: Audra, you're
a lot of things, okay?
But you can never be boring.
[ Audra sighing ]
>> Audra: Yeah, I've dealt
with stress before,
but this, this is just
the next level.
>> Nate: Hm.
>> Audra: And you keeping me
from work isn't helping.
>> Nate: Maybe this will.
>> Audra: Well, if this is
coffee in any form, it might.
>> Nate: No, it is not.
This is oolong tea.
>> Audra: Oh, no thanks.
>> Nate: Uh-uh, hear me out.
Look, this tea is filled with
amino acids that
improve brain function.
It also helps with sleep,
reduces stress, and anxiety.
>> Audra: Hm.
It also tastes like wet socks.
>> Nate: It will grow on you.
>> Audra: You say it like
it's a good thing.
>> Nate: Listen, when I was
in med school and then
doing my residency, I was
a coffee addict.
Some of my friends literally
shot that stuff
into their veins.
>> Audra: Oh, so you're saying
you can hook me up with an IV?
>> Nate: No joke, people
did that too. But, uh, for me,
I-- I couldn't keep up.
It got to the point where if I
didn't have a cup of something
strong in my hands,
they would shake.
>> Audra: Yep.
>> Nate: And no one wants a
doctor with shaky hands standing
over them with a scalpel.
>> Audra: Oh, no.
>> Nate: So, I switched to tea.
It evened me out.
I got better sleep, had more
focus, and I got through.
>> Audra: Hm.
So, this is what
the doctor ordered?
>> Nate: That, and a few deep
breaths. You need to take
a moment and just be.
>> Audra: Yeah, no, I don't do
that. Deep breathing and
meditation, the "ohming"
and the unplugging of chakras,
that was Tucker's thing,
and I don't want
to be reminded of it.
>> Nate: Tucker knows nothing
about being in the moment.
You need to get out of your
head and listen to your body.
It's telling you
everything you need.
>> Audra: And what I need is
a triple shot of espresso,
and to get back to my tablet.
>> Nate: Audra, those sighs
earlier, a sigh is just a short
breath. It's a release
and a reconnection.
>> Audra: Do you really believe
all that? Or is it just some
pitch you worked up to impress
the women in your yoga class?
>> Nate: Do you think everyone
has an angle?
>> Audra: Hey, I'm all about
angles, but I just like it when
people are up front about it.
>> Nate: This isn't some play
to be with you, Audra.
It's an apology.
I'm sorry if I made you think
I wasn't a true believer.
This Glissade thing?
You got this.
>> Audra: Thank you for
saying that.
>> Nate: And this, what we're
doing right here, right now.
It isn't a seduction
in any way, shape, or form.
I like having you
as a friend, Audra.
I know we talked a lot about
you needing one right now, but
what I haven't said is I'm in
a place and time in my life
where I need one, too.
So, how about we, um, sit here
for a little while longer?
>> Audra: I think I can do that.
>> Chelsea: Wow, Sally, this is
such great work.
>> Sally: It's just working with
what you gave me.
>> Summer: Oh, hey,
I thought we weren't
doing false modesty here.
>> Chelsea: The way you solved
the closure problem on that
skirt? It's genius.
>> Sally: Thank you.
>> Summer: Guys, I am loving
this collaborative spirit
we have going on here.
I have been wanting to create
this kind of atmosphere
at Marchetti.
[ phone dinging ]
Oh, it's my realtor.
I am looking for a new house
for me and Harrison.
>> Chelsea: Oh, I take it that
means you and Kyle still aren't
on the same page?
>> Summer: Um, Kyle and I aren't
even in the same book anymore.
Uh, Sally, thank you so much
for all of your hard work.
>> Sally: Yeah, thank you again
for this opportunity.
>> Summer: And Chelsea, just
know you have a place here
whenever you're ready
to come back.
Bye, you guys.
>> Chelsea/Sally: Bye.
>> Chelsea: Uh, well, I'm so
glad that all worked out.
>> Sally: Uh, do you have to
leave? I think there's something
we need to talk about.
>> Victor: Now, son, very few
people are privy to this, but
I've taken steps to acquire
Glissade, a cosmetics company.
>> Adam: Oh, I wish I could
have seen the look on McCall's
face when he found that out.
>> Victor: You may still have
a chance, you know.
Just know that the financing of
it was anonymous, and I want to
keep it that way, for now.
>> Adam: Yeah. I heard that, uh,
Audra Charles and Kyle Abbott
were handpicked to run Glissade.
That's an interesting pairing.
But what's the connection
between Glissade and Newman
Media? It sounds like
you've already cut Tucker off
at the knees.
>> Victor: He's not the target.
I just want Newman Media to
create a massive buzz
about Glissade.
>> Adam: Well, that's
easy enough.
>> Victor: All right.
And at the same time, I want
you to go after the competition.
>> Adam: That's it?
>> Victor: Yeah, that's it.
>> Adam: What is it
that you're not telling me?
>> Nate: Look, I-- I don't
want to keep you
from your work, Audra.
I just want you to remember why
you're so excited about it in
the first place.
>> Audra: I am excited about
running Glissade.
And it's not just about
the money, or power.
Though, unlike most people,
I'm not afraid to admit I want
both those things.
>> Nate: What else is it about?
Showing Tucker he was wrong
to underestimate you?
That he was the only thing
holding you back?
>> Audra: Yeah, I fell into that
trap before, trying to get
a man's approval.
But now I know
I don't need that.
And I want to bring that lesson
I learned to Glissade.
>> Nate: How so?
>> Audra: I know I have
a partner and an investor,
so I won't have total control,
but I'm the one who buys and
uses makeup.
Tucker, or Kyle, or any man can
read a marketing report.
They can hold focus groups.
They can talk about margins
and profit and loss,
but I'm the one who knows what
it means to look
into a mirror and...
And see myself for
what I really am.
Not how a man wants me to be.
Life can get
real ugly sometimes.
And I know what it means to
need to feel beautiful
in those moments.
You know, Glissade needs to be
not about being beautiful
for a man, but about women
being beautiful for themselves.
>> Chelsea: Can it wait? Uh,
I'm sure it's something you
want to discuss about the
winter line, and you didn't want
to bother Summer with it.
>> Sally: Well, I just think
we need to clear the air.
>> Chelsea: You know, if-- if
you're worried about stepping
on my toes at Marchetti--
>> Sally: Well, yeah, it's that,
but it's also about Adam, too.
>> Chelsea: Um, what about Adam?
>> Sally: Well, I am trying to
be more open and honest
with my feelings.
It's not something I've been
great at in my past.
But listening to you and Adam
talk about Connor, and seeing
how you two are there for each
other, it's made me want to
step up my game.
>> Chelsea: Well, you have
been there for Adam.
He tells me all the time
how wonderful you are.
>> Sally: Well, thank you, but
I want to be wonderful for Adam.
You know, I mean, I've never
been involved with a man who's
going through what you and Adam
are going through.
>> Chelsea: Yeah, I don't
know. I think maybe you
should-- maybe you should
just tell Adam all this.
>> Sally: No, I will, but I also
want to tell you.
>> Chelsea: Okay.
[ Sally sighing ]
>> Sally: When Summer asked me
to stay on more permanently at
Marchetti, I also thought that
she was going to ask me
to take your place
and I just want you to know
that I would never do that.
>> Chelsea: I appreciate that.
>> Sally: I mean, I came here
not only driven by ambition and
the need for a job so I can pay
my bills, but to support you.
And that was clear to me from
the very beginning.
But what wasn't clear to me was
how I can support you and Adam
without feeling threatened.
You have done nothing at all to
make me feel that way.
>> Chelsea: Sally, you have
supported me and Adam.
Honestly, you've been amazing,
and I really want to thank you
for that.
>> Sally: No, Chelsea, I should
be thanking you.
Seriously, you did not have to
take Adam's suggestion to pitch
me to Summer, and with
everything that you have going
on with Connor right now, I'm
the last person that you should
be thinking about, so I owe
you, Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: No, Sally,
you really don't.
>> Adam: I get why you want to
pump up Glissade now that we
own it, and why you want to give
bad press to our competitors to
gain market share.
>> Victor: Do you have
a plan how to do that?
>> Adam: Well, I can make it
happen. And I can make it appear
that we're being
fair and balanced.
But that's not what's
giving me pause.
>> Victor: What is?
>> Adam: All seems a little...
What's the word I'm looking for?
Reasonable.
[ Victor chuckling ]
>> Victor: You know
I'm very reasonable.
>> Adam: Come on, you could have
sold this to Nikki and Victoria.
Why do you need me?
>> Victor: Because, son,
you know everything about
Newman Media. You started the
darn company. It's your baby.
>> Adam: You've talked about
the competition, but you still
haven't specified your enemy.
>> Victor: Jabot is one of the
large companies in the sector.
>> Adam: Yeah, and
Nikki would never agree to go
after Jack Abbott.
>> Victor: Bingo.
>> Adam: But I respect
Jack Abbott.
>> Victor: I don't give a damn
what your feelings are about
Jack Abbott, okay?
You have never hesitated in
the past to go for the kill.
It's like your father.
I don't hesitate.
Even if it means to hurt
someone you like.
>> Victor: Son, you're like me.
You get that you can't be soft
to survive, can you?
>> Adam: Well, I'm like you in
the fact that I'm not afraid
to fight dirty.
>> Victor: So, Glissade was well
positioned, so I went after it.
>> Adam: Come on, you are not
someone that lets the chips fall
where they may. You want me to
use Newman Media
to improve your odds.
>> Victor: I want you to do
damage to Jabot.
>> Adam: Okay, well I hurt
Jabot, I hurt Jack.
It's the same as Newman.
If Newman took a hit,
you would feel it.
>> Victor: I don't give a damn
about what the hell happens
to Jack Abbott.
Look what I'm offering you.
I'm offering you autonomy to
run the damn company you
started as you will.
And you don't have to share any
power with your brother
or your sister.
I'm handing the company to you.
What are you going to
do with it?
Can I trust you?
>> Adam: Are you sure that you
can trust Kyle and Audra?
>> Nate: You opening up to me
like that means a lot.
>> Audra: Don't go reading
into it, Nate.
>> Nate: Oh. And the armor's
already back on. Mm-hmm.
>> Audra: Oh, now that's a shade
of violet I need for a new
line of eyeshadow.
>> Nate: And she's back to work.
But I've already seen a little
more of you than maybe
you meant to show.
Now, I can't speak for what you
see when you look in the mirror.
And you've already made it
clear that you aren't
interested in what
any man thinks.
But for the record...
the more of you I see,
the more
beautiful you are to me.
>> Audra: Does that ever really
work for you?
>> Nate: The pretty damn
annoying charm?
>> Audra: That's the one.
>> Nate: Oh.
You tell me.
>> Audra: I think you already
know the answer.
>> Sally: Chelsea, did your call
with Connor not go as well
as you said?
>> Chelsea: No, the
call went great.
>> Sally: Okay, so, what is it?
I mean, you can be honest with
me about this awkwardness
between us.
>>> Chelsea: Awkward? Is it
awkward? I don't think it is.
>> Sally: Yeah, of cour--
Chelsea, of course it is.
I'm doing your job.
>> Chelsea: No, you stepped in
for me at Marchetti, and you're
doing great, and I knew
you would.
>> Sally: Okay, then-- then
what is it? I mean, I...
I-- I-- I don't know.
It-- it almost seems like...
>> Chelsea: Like what?
>> Sally: Like you're guilty?
>> Chelsea: No, I mean, I--
I feel...
Of course, I feel
a little bad walking away at
such a critical time.
You know,
when Summer needed me.
But, um-- But you made it so
everything's okay.
And I'm really grateful to you
for that.
[ Chelsea and Adam panting ]
>> Sally: Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Sorry, I think,
um, I think
I'm a little jet-lagged.
[ Chelsea and Adam panting ]
>> Sally: You're tearing up.
Now, I know something is really
wrong. Can you please just
tell me what it is?
>> Chelsea: Sally, I...
>> Sally: You're a mess.
I-- I-- I get it.
I mean, how could you not be
after everything that you've
been going through with Connor?
>> Chelsea: Ah, yeah, um, I just
feel like everything that's
happened with my son has me on
this emotional rollercoaster.
And like I mentioned to you at
lunch, I don't...
I don't feel like I have
control over any aspect
of my life.
What I say, what I do.
>> Sally: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure
you have so much anxiety and
frustration. I know
that Adam does.
I mean, is it selfish of me to
say that I've been afraid of
losing him over this?
>> Chelsea: Sally, you are not
going to lose Adam.
He cares about you so much.
>> Sally: Yeah, I-- I know he
does, but I mean, his heart
is so broken over Connor that
sometimes I just wonder
if there's even a piece
left for me.
[ Chelsea sighing ]
>> Chelsea: I'm really sorry
if-- if me needing Adam has come
between the two of you.
>> Sally: No, no, no. No, no.
That's not at all what--
what I'm trying to say, okay?
I'm-- I'm really, really
glad that Adam has you.
You know, when Adam and I
lost our baby...
it bonded us.
And Connor is your baby.
So, of course, you and Adam are
going to get closer, because
you're his parents, and I
really hope that you guys are
always there for each other.
I mean, I'm sure that you can
help Adam out in ways that
I can't even imagine.
Billy and I--
>> Chelsea: You know what?
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Sally.
I can't talk about
this right now. Um...
Just know Adam loves you and
you just have to stand by him.
No matter what, okay?
I'm really sorry. I have to go.
[ Sally scoffing ]
>> Victor: Now, Audra is very
ambitious and savvy.
She demonstrated that again
when she turned Tucker's board
against him.
>> Adam: So, she stabbed someone
in the back who trusts her?
Yeah, that's not very
reassuring, Dad.
Who's to say we won't
end up the same?
>> Victor: You leave her to me.
>> Adam: And Kyle?
>> Victor: Well, so it happens
that apparently, he had a huge
falling out with his parents.
Neither Jack nor Diane
expressed a lot of faith
in his talents.
So understandably,
he wants retribution. And I
think we can use Newman Media
to help him do that.
>> Adam: Hm.
By crippling Jabot?
>> Victor: By crippling
all competition.
Now, that I've told you what's
going on, will you resume with
leadership of Newman Media?
>> Adam: Uh...
I'll seriously consider it.
>> Victor: I can't wait
too long, okay?
Time is of the essence.
>> Adam: I'll sleep on it.
I'll let you know
in the morning.
>> Victor: All right.
Nice talking to you.
I'm very happy that things are
going well with Connor.
>> Adam: I am too.
>> Victor: Now, you can
help your son
and help your father.
[ door closing ]
>> Audra: I just want to be
clear about something.
We're just in the moment,
Nate, okay? Uh...
I'm just getting out of my head
and listening to my body.
>> Nate: I'm listening too, and
I like what it's saying.
>> Audra: I'm serious.
>> Nate: Hey, hey.
I want this.
Only if you want it too.
If not, we stop.
>> Audra: I don't want to stop.
I just want to make sure we're
agreed, this is just for fun.
It means nothing.
>> Nate: Right.
Nothing at all.
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
>> Summer: A trip for two to
Paris. You really have lost
your mind, haven't you?
>> Victoria: I'm just sorry that
it's come to this.
>> Nikki: I'm sure your father
is pleased with himself.
He's gotten his way yet again.
>> Victoria: Well, let's just
hope that he doesn't live
to regret it.
>> Nikki: Let's hope we all
don't live to regret it.
[ Sharon gasping ]
>> Sharon: What's happening
to me?
