1
00:00:02,435 --> 00:00:04,037
>> Summer: I mean, obviously,
2
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:06,072
I hate that Audra is back
3
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:07,674
in the picture.
4
00:00:07,741 --> 00:00:09,175
But you really think that she's
5
00:00:09,242 --> 00:00:10,510
that much more of a threat
6
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:12,212
than Claire, too?
7
00:00:12,278 --> 00:00:14,013
>> Phyllis: I know she's
8
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,415
that much more of a threat.
9
00:00:15,482 --> 00:00:17,550
Trust me.
10
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:19,552
This is my take on Claire.
11
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:21,488
She's a child herself.
12
00:00:21,554 --> 00:00:23,223
She sees Harrison as a sort of
13
00:00:23,289 --> 00:00:24,891
playmate, not really
14
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:26,159
as his mom.
15
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:27,527
Audra, on the other hand,
16
00:00:27,594 --> 00:00:28,828
is dangerous.
17
00:00:28,895 --> 00:00:30,063
>> Summer: And Kyle doesn't
18
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:31,131
see it that way.
19
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:32,399
At all.
20
00:00:32,465 --> 00:00:33,633
You should have heard the way
21
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,268
that he was taunting me about
22
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:37,103
this trip with his strictly
23
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:38,138
business partner.
24
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:39,472
>> Phyllis: Mm-hmm, trust me,
25
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:42,409
Kyle is not Audra's endgame.
26
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:43,643
>> Summer: You know what really
27
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:44,811
gets me going, though?
28
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,112
Is that this whole idea to
29
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:47,514
bring Harrison and Claire to
30
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:49,015
Paris with him, it-- it
31
00:00:49,082 --> 00:00:50,116
was just an afterthought.
32
00:00:50,183 --> 00:00:51,251
It was something that he
33
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:52,452
thought of, in the moment,
34
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:53,586
because he knew it
35
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:54,354
would hurt me.
36
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:55,555
It's not like he's doing it
37
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:56,289
for Harrison's sake.
38
00:00:56,356 --> 00:00:57,824
>> Phyllis: You know, I cannot
39
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:58,992
believe that he's talking to you
40
00:00:59,058 --> 00:01:00,794
the way he is. Saying that
41
00:01:00,860 --> 00:01:03,196
you're not Harrison's biological
42
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:04,531
mom, using that against you.
43
00:01:04,597 --> 00:01:06,032
That has to stop.
44
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:07,200
>> Summer: Well, it's not going
45
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:09,335
to. He just keeps on making one
46
00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:11,204
bad decision after another.
47
00:01:11,271 --> 00:01:12,372
This whole thing with his-- his
48
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,974
family, and Jabot, and now
49
00:01:15,041 --> 00:01:16,776
partnering up with Audra?
50
00:01:16,843 --> 00:01:18,445
Moving Harrison out of the only
51
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:19,712
home that he's known here.
52
00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:21,314
I mean, he's just...
53
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:23,116
he's irrational.
54
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:24,217
It-- it's infuriating.
55
00:01:24,284 --> 00:01:26,319
>> Phyllis: Okay, stop.
56
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:29,189
You need to chill out.
57
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:31,191
Summer, you need
58
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:33,760
to focus, seriously.
59
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:35,128
Because when you spin out,
60
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,596
that's when you make mistakes.
61
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:37,730
And you can't make
62
00:01:37,797 --> 00:01:38,698
any mistakes here.
63
00:01:38,765 --> 00:01:40,133
You let Kyle do that.
64
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,634
You let him make
65
00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:42,469
the dumb moves.
66
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:46,139
You stay focused, keep your
67
00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:47,040
head on straight,
68
00:01:47,106 --> 00:01:49,108
and you will win.
69
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:52,612
>> Claire: You want Harrison and
70
00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:55,081
me to go to Paris with you?
71
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:56,850
>> Kyle: It would be a blast.
72
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:58,518
What do you say?
73
00:01:58,585 --> 00:01:59,752
Hey.
74
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:01,020
>> Harrison: Hey, Dad.
75
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,655
You have got to see the worms
76
00:02:02,722 --> 00:02:03,456
we found.
77
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:04,357
>> Kyle: Worms?
78
00:02:04,424 --> 00:02:05,658
That sounds exciting.
79
00:02:05,725 --> 00:02:06,893
>> Harrison: Claire and I are
80
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,894
scholar adventurers.
81
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,762
>> Kyle: Well, I have the
82
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:10,730
adventure just for you.
83
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:11,464
>> Harrison: You do?
84
00:02:11,531 --> 00:02:12,265
What is it?
85
00:02:12,332 --> 00:02:13,666
>> Kyle: How would you like to
86
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:14,767
go to Paris, France?
87
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,169
>> Harrison: Is it like Milan?
88
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:17,570
>> Kyle: Well, it's a different
89
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:19,038
city, different view, but
90
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:20,039
just as beautiful.
91
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,341
And there are tons of parks to
92
00:02:21,407 --> 00:02:22,742
do some bug hunting.
93
00:02:22,809 --> 00:02:23,943
>> Harrison: You think the worms
94
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:24,644
are different there?
95
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:25,979
>> Kyle: Well, there's only
96
00:02:26,045 --> 00:02:26,913
one way to find out.
97
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:28,047
>> Harrison: I'd better start
98
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:29,916
packing. I've got to bring
99
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,317
my worm hunting kit.
100
00:02:31,384 --> 00:02:33,152
>> Claire: Maybe we should
101
00:02:33,219 --> 00:02:34,354
hold off on the packing.
102
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:35,321
>> Harrison: But I want
103
00:02:35,388 --> 00:02:35,989
to be ready.
104
00:02:36,055 --> 00:02:37,190
>> Claire: We'll have plenty
105
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:39,392
of time. But you know what?
106
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:41,094
I think Mrs. Martinez needs you
107
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,395
in the kitchen to help her
108
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:43,096
taste test
109
00:02:43,162 --> 00:02:44,130
those snickerdoodles.
110
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:47,300
>> Harrison: My favorite.
111
00:02:47,367 --> 00:02:48,234
>> Kyle: I thought
112
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:49,269
chocolate chip was his favorite.
113
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:50,403
>> Claire: That was last week.
114
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:53,072
>> Kyle: Oh.
115
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:54,574
So, I haven't heard you
116
00:02:54,641 --> 00:02:56,376
say yes yet.
117
00:02:56,442 --> 00:02:57,443
>> Claire: I'm not sure going
118
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:58,811
to Paris is a good idea.

126
00:03:36,449 --> 00:03:37,650
with Dad when we got to the
127
00:03:37,717 --> 00:03:39,552
office for his big announcement.
128
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:41,321
>> Nick: Adam finally agreed to
129
00:03:41,387 --> 00:03:43,122
take over Newman Media.
130
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:44,657
>> Victoria: As if any of us
131
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:45,992
really thought that he would go
132
00:03:46,059 --> 00:03:47,527
against what Dad wanted.
133
00:03:47,594 --> 00:03:48,728
>> Nikki: I'm sure he was
134
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:49,629
thrilled to agree,
135
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,030
more power for him.
136
00:03:51,097 --> 00:03:52,832
>> Victoria: Well, we all know
137
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,033
that he's going to do whatever
138
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,168
it takes, no matter how dirty,
139
00:03:55,234 --> 00:03:57,070
to hold on to that position.
140
00:03:57,136 --> 00:03:58,404
>> Nikki: I should have fought
141
00:03:58,471 --> 00:03:59,672
harder to stay.
142
00:03:59,739 --> 00:04:01,074
>> Nick: Mom, we talked about
143
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:02,208
this. The stress of
144
00:04:02,275 --> 00:04:04,310
fighting Dad on this, it's not
145
00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:05,378
worth it. Especially if it
146
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:07,380
jeopardizes your sobriety.

is pleased with himself.

153
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:16,689
hope that he doesn't live
154
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:17,957
to regret it.

161
00:04:36,976 --> 00:04:38,578
through the door, Pop.
162
00:04:38,645 --> 00:04:39,912
Give a guy a chance to sharpen
163
00:04:39,979 --> 00:04:41,681
his knives, will ya?
164
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:43,149

00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:45,284
sharp, son.

00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:48,655
prepared to go to war.

169
00:04:58,731 --> 00:05:01,668
idea. What are your concerns?

this by Summer?

>> Claire: And she's on board.
174
00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:08,975
She wasn't upset by the idea?
175
00:05:09,042 --> 00:05:10,209
>> Kyle: Uh, how could she be
176
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:11,344
upset about Harrison getting to
177
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:12,545
explore an amazing new city?
178
00:05:12,612 --> 00:05:13,479
It'll be a great
179
00:05:13,546 --> 00:05:14,147
experience for him.
180
00:05:14,213 --> 00:05:15,848
You saw how excited he is.
181
00:05:15,915 --> 00:05:16,983

00:05:18,384 --> 00:05:19,585
to say you haven't been
184

to Paris either?
185

187
00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:24,290
So don't you see?
188
00:05:24,357 --> 00:05:25,525
It'll be an adventure.
189
00:05:25,591 --> 00:05:26,759
Not just for Harrison,
190
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:28,928

193
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:37,403
and Audra Charles on another
194
00:05:37,470 --> 00:05:39,639
continent. Something tells me
195
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:41,207
Summer isn't going to throw
196
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:42,175
a bon voyage party.
197
00:05:42,241 --> 00:05:43,142
>> Kyle: Okay, we'll throw
198
00:05:43,209 --> 00:05:43,876
a party ourselves.
199
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:45,645
How does that sound?
200
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:46,813
We have a lot to do
201
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:49,215
before the flight, so...
202
00:05:49,282 --> 00:05:51,551
we good?
203
00:05:51,617 --> 00:05:52,885
>> Claire: One of the things
204
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:54,053
that I really like about our
205
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,122
friendship is how honest we are
206
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,657
with each other.
207
00:05:57,724 --> 00:05:58,691
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm.
208
00:05:58,758 --> 00:06:01,594
>> Claire: Maybe that's why
209
00:06:01,661 --> 00:06:02,962
this conversation is
210
00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:04,297
making me uncomfortable.
211
00:06:04,363 --> 00:06:05,665
Like you haven't
212
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,700
told me everything.
213
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:09,802
>> Kyle: Okay.
214
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:11,304
Okay, Summer isn't
215
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:13,172
happy about it.
216
00:06:13,239 --> 00:06:14,941
But this will be a great
217
00:06:15,007 --> 00:06:16,342
experience for Harrison,
218
00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:18,344
and I want to do it.
219
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:21,380
So, it's happening.
220
00:06:21,447 --> 00:06:23,382
>> Claire: I'm sorry, Kyle.
221
00:06:23,449 --> 00:06:24,417
It'll have to happen
222
00:06:24,484 --> 00:06:25,318
without me.
223
00:06:28,755 --> 00:06:30,022
>> Victoria: Dad practically
224
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:31,224
forced us into the stupid
225
00:06:31,290 --> 00:06:32,792
musical chairs, but now he wants
226
00:06:32,859 --> 00:06:34,093
to celebrate like it's some
227
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,195
family milestone.
228
00:06:36,262 --> 00:06:37,330
>> Nikki: Your father does
229
00:06:37,396 --> 00:06:38,397
love winning.
230
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:39,465
>> Victoria: And the whole time,
231
00:06:39,532 --> 00:06:40,867
Adam is sitting there acting
232
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:41,901
like he's doing us
233
00:06:41,968 --> 00:06:43,369
an enormous favor.
234
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:44,670
>> Nikki: I'm just glad I wasn't
235
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:45,738
there to witness
236
00:06:45,805 --> 00:06:46,606
the transfer of power.
237
00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:47,373
>> Nick: At least
238
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,274
it's temporary.
239
00:06:48,341 --> 00:06:49,208
>> Nikki: Do you really
240
00:06:49,275 --> 00:06:50,009
believe that?
241
00:06:50,076 --> 00:06:50,977
>> Victoria: We'll make
242
00:06:51,043 --> 00:06:51,978
sure of it.
243
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:53,679
>> Nikki: Well, I worry what
244
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:54,947
your father ultimately has in
245
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:56,315
mind with all of this
246
00:06:56,382 --> 00:06:58,117
reshuffling. And I worry about
247
00:06:58,184 --> 00:06:59,652
the damage that Adam could do to
248
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:02,155
Newman Media, an entire media
249
00:07:02,221 --> 00:07:03,890
company, in the hands of that
250
00:07:03,956 --> 00:07:05,625
snake in the grass.
251
00:07:05,691 --> 00:07:06,859
Any number of things
252
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:08,828
could go wrong.
253
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:10,663
>> Adam: As much as I appreciate
254
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:13,132
what I assume is a compliment,
255
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:14,100
before there's any knife
256
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,334
sharpening, I need to get up to
257
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:16,702
speed on what Nikki has done
258
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,004
since she took helm.
259
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:19,071
>> Victor: She did a hell
260
00:07:19,138 --> 00:07:20,072
a job. I think you'll
261
00:07:20,139 --> 00:07:21,440
be impressed.
262
00:07:21,507 --> 00:07:22,341
>> Adam: Oh yeah, I'm--
263
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:23,209
I'm sure I will be.
264
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:24,644
>> Victor: Now, I don't want you
265
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:26,712
to forget your priorities.
266
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:27,814
>> Adam: Oh, I doubt
267
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,082
you will let me.
268
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:31,584
But just so we're clear, I plan
269
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:32,718
to focus on all aspects
270
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:34,320
of this company. I grew it.
271
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:35,521
I built it.
272
00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:36,889
And it sure as hell isn't going
273
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:37,890
to lose any ground now
274
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:38,591
that I'm back.
275
00:07:38,658 --> 00:07:39,892
>> Victor: I'm sure you will.
276
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:40,893
I'm glad to hear that.
277
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,094
And I know that you will
278
00:07:42,161 --> 00:07:43,162
accomplish everything that I
279
00:07:43,229 --> 00:07:45,231
set out for you to do.
280
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,632
All right?
281
00:07:46,699 --> 00:07:49,669
So, uh...
282
00:07:49,735 --> 00:07:51,070
I want you to lead this company
283
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:52,905
to new heights.
284
00:07:52,972 --> 00:07:54,040
>> Adam: Okay, well, you need
285
00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:55,208
to mean that.
286
00:07:55,274 --> 00:07:56,309
>> Victor: I do.
287
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:57,276
>> Adam: Because if all
288
00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:58,344
you're looking for is a secret
289
00:07:58,411 --> 00:07:59,712
attack dog, we can just end this
290
00:07:59,779 --> 00:08:01,214
before it starts.
291
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:09,822
>> Kyle: Don't let Summer's
292
00:08:09,889 --> 00:08:12,291
tantrum impact your decision.
293
00:08:12,358 --> 00:08:13,426
>> Claire: Tantrum?
294
00:08:13,492 --> 00:08:15,328
She was that angry?
295
00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:16,462
>> Kyle: That's a poor choice
296
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:17,763
of words. Look, Summer gets
297
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:18,798
upset when she doesn't feel
298
00:08:18,865 --> 00:08:19,932
like she's in control.
299
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,000
That doesn't mean we need to
300
00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:22,268
change our plans to
301
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:23,636
accommodate her insecurities.
302
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:25,037
>> Claire: Summer's my cousin,
303
00:08:25,104 --> 00:08:26,239
Kyle. She's also Harrison's mom.
304
00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:27,573
I want to have a real
305
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,708
relationship with her.
306
00:08:28,774 --> 00:08:30,243
Or, at the very least,
307
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:31,510
find a way to put the--
308
00:08:31,577 --> 00:08:33,446
the tension between us
309
00:08:33,512 --> 00:08:35,114
behind us.
310
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:36,415
Going to Paris when she's so
311
00:08:36,482 --> 00:08:39,151
obviously against it would just
312
00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:42,889
make things worse.
313
00:08:42,955 --> 00:08:44,223
>> Kyle: Okay, your-- your
314
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:45,925
concerns are valid.
315
00:08:45,992 --> 00:08:48,027
But this is Summer's issue.
316
00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:49,595
Her failing, not yours,
317
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:50,730
not mine.
318
00:08:50,796 --> 00:08:52,198
And Harrison shouldn't be made
319
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:53,733
to suffer because Summer thinks
320
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:55,101
there's a threat, when the only
321
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:56,969
threat is in her mind.
322
00:08:57,036 --> 00:08:59,505
Claire, it's your call.
323
00:08:59,572 --> 00:09:00,740
It is, but you saw
324
00:09:00,806 --> 00:09:02,275
how excited he is.
325
00:09:02,341 --> 00:09:03,309
And with my workload,
326
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:04,243
I need you there.
327
00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:05,544
So if you don't go,
328
00:09:05,611 --> 00:09:07,246
he can't go.
329
00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:08,481
And I wouldn't want to
330
00:09:08,547 --> 00:09:09,515
disappoint him.
331
00:09:09,582 --> 00:09:12,952
And I know you wouldn't either.
332
00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:14,320
>> Claire: Are you trying to
333
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:15,621
guilt me into saying yes?
334
00:09:15,688 --> 00:09:17,523
>> Kyle: I'm just saying that
335
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:18,758
someone needs to break it to
336
00:09:18,824 --> 00:09:20,059
Harrison that the French eat
337
00:09:20,126 --> 00:09:21,127
snails, and I think it'd be
338
00:09:21,193 --> 00:09:24,230
better coming from you.
339
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:25,264
>> Claire: Have you thought
340
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:28,034
about asking Summer to join you?
341
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:28,968
She and Harrison would
342
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:29,902
have a great time.
343
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:31,304
>> Kyle: It didn't occur to me
344
00:09:31,370 --> 00:09:32,071
because it would be
345
00:09:32,138 --> 00:09:33,572
a complete disaster.
346
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,608
>> Summer: You want me to keep
347
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:37,410
my head, stay calm,
348
00:09:37,476 --> 00:09:38,678
stay focused?
349
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,513
How am I supposed to do that?
350
00:09:40,579 --> 00:09:41,714
>> Phyllis: Because you think of
351
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:43,082
what's at stake.
352
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:46,118
Your son's happiness.
353
00:09:46,185 --> 00:09:48,387
So, you do what
354
00:09:48,454 --> 00:09:50,389
needs to be done, Summer.
355
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:51,590
>> Summer: I just, I don't even
356
00:09:51,657 --> 00:09:52,725
know how things got
357
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:54,860
so out of control.
358
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:56,495
That I'm at this place where
359
00:09:56,562 --> 00:09:59,131
I'm fighting to stay
360
00:09:59,198 --> 00:10:00,266
in my son's life?
361
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:01,367
>> Phyllis: Listen, it doesn't
362
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:02,501
matter how things went off
363
00:10:02,568 --> 00:10:04,070
the rails. It doesn't matter.
364
00:10:04,136 --> 00:10:05,404
Just focus on fixing it.
365
00:10:05,471 --> 00:10:06,872
Obviously Kyle's not going to
366
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:08,941
do that, because he's too busy
367
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:10,309
jumping in bed with Audra,
368
00:10:10,376 --> 00:10:11,577
and doing whatever
369
00:10:11,644 --> 00:10:12,345
the hell he wants.
370
00:10:12,411 --> 00:10:13,346
>> Summer: And-- and-- and
371
00:10:13,412 --> 00:10:14,113
Harrison's going to suffer
372
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:15,247
because of it.
373
00:10:15,314 --> 00:10:16,148
I-- I don't understand how
374
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:16,916
he can't see that.
375
00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:17,883
>> Phyllis: Well, because he
376
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,186
can't look past his huge ego.
377
00:10:20,252 --> 00:10:21,988
That's how he can't see it.
378
00:10:22,054 --> 00:10:23,289
Right? And it doesn't help that
379
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:24,223
he has Audra and Claire
380
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:25,191
in his life.
381
00:10:25,257 --> 00:10:26,592
>> Summer: You know what, I have
382
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:28,361
genuinely made an effort to be
383
00:10:28,427 --> 00:10:30,429
tolerant of Claire, because I
384
00:10:30,496 --> 00:10:32,064
can see how much Harrison cares
385
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:35,034
about her. And technically she
386
00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:37,703
is family. But Audra?
387
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:40,573
>> Phyllis: Audra's a snake.
388
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,142
She has manipulated Kyle before,
389
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:45,478
and she's doing it again.
390
00:10:45,544 --> 00:10:47,780
Making him co-CEO of Glissade.
391
00:10:47,847 --> 00:10:49,515
Please.
392
00:10:49,582 --> 00:10:50,616
Late night meetings,
393
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:51,350
business trips.
394
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:52,451
She knows exactly
395
00:10:52,518 --> 00:10:53,853
what she's doing.
396
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:54,754
>> Summer: You think she
397
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:55,554
wants to start things
398
00:10:55,621 --> 00:10:56,355
up with him again?
399
00:10:56,422 --> 00:10:57,123
>> Phyllis: I think
400
00:10:57,189 --> 00:10:58,657
she's ambitious.
401
00:10:58,724 --> 00:11:03,229
Kyle is an Abbott.
402
00:11:03,295 --> 00:11:05,231
That looks good for her.
403
00:11:05,297 --> 00:11:07,266
Being close to him.
404
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:09,101
It's a PR move.
405
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:10,336
I'm sure it's very difficult
406
00:11:10,403 --> 00:11:12,104
for her, trying to polish up
407
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:14,440
that very tarnished resume.
408
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:17,109
I mean, all people know of her
409
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,445
is being Tucker McCall's
410
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:23,783
sleazeballs wing woman.
411
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:24,950
I mean, she spent years
412
00:11:25,017 --> 00:11:26,519
bolstering up
413
00:11:26,585 --> 00:11:27,887
that guy's agenda.
414
00:11:27,953 --> 00:11:29,822
So obviously, all she cares
415
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:32,191
about is control, power
416
00:11:32,258 --> 00:11:35,428
and money. That's it.
417
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:37,696
And you know, Kyle is just
418
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:39,432
collateral damage.
419
00:11:39,498 --> 00:11:41,067
You want Harrison near that?
420
00:11:41,133 --> 00:11:41,901
>> Summer: No!
421
00:11:41,967 --> 00:11:42,968
Of course not.
422
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:44,904
>> Phyllis: Of course not.
423
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:46,238
I mean, Harrison has already
424
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:47,706
been so tormented by women
425
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:48,774
in his life.
426
00:11:48,841 --> 00:11:49,708
Tara Locke.
427
00:11:49,775 --> 00:11:51,243
You are a saving grace.
428
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,646
You are everything to him.
429
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:55,214
You cannot lose him.
430
00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:56,482
>> Summer: Losing him is not
431
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:57,383
an option.
432
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:58,751
>> Phyllis: It's not an option.
433
00:11:58,818 --> 00:11:59,952
I mean, it's not like Audra's
434
00:12:00,019 --> 00:12:00,886
the maternal type.
435
00:12:00,953 --> 00:12:02,321
She's going to be pulling Kyle
436
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:03,789
around by his nose and go all
437
00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:04,990
Mommie Dearest on Harrison.
438
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:06,192
>> Summer: Okay, I get it.
439
00:12:06,258 --> 00:12:06,992
Yes, you're right.
440
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:08,060
>> Phyllis: Okay.
441
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:09,428
>> Summer: You're right.
442
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:11,897
>> Phyllis: I know I'm right.
443
00:12:11,964 --> 00:12:14,433
So, this is how you fight it.
444
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,970
You get rid of Audra.
445
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,639
You get rid of the danger that
446
00:12:20,706 --> 00:12:24,910
she poses on your son.
447
00:12:24,977 --> 00:12:26,378
And there's no way
448
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:28,647
you can lose.
449
00:12:28,714 --> 00:12:29,782
>> Victor: Why are you getting
450
00:12:29,849 --> 00:12:31,450
yourself all worked up, son?
451
00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:32,852
I told you, you're free to run
452
00:12:32,918 --> 00:12:33,886
the damn company
453
00:12:33,953 --> 00:12:36,355
as you see fit.
454
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:38,724
>> Adam: So, no micromanaging?
455
00:12:38,791 --> 00:12:41,393
>> Victor: None.
456
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:42,962
If I see strides made,
457
00:12:43,028 --> 00:12:45,865
then, uh, you do what you want.
458
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:48,501
>> Adam: And if I don't?
459
00:12:48,567 --> 00:12:49,802
>> Victor: Why are you
460
00:12:49,869 --> 00:12:50,736
bringing this up now?
461
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:53,172
I know you won't disappoint me.
462
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:54,306
>> Adam: Okay, well loyalty
463
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:55,908
goes both ways.
464
00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:57,009
So after I've done what you've
465
00:12:57,076 --> 00:12:57,943
asked, how do I know
466
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:58,911
that you're not going to
467
00:12:58,978 --> 00:12:59,912
cut me loose?
468
00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:00,980
>> Victor: Why the hell are
469
00:13:01,046 --> 00:13:02,047
you bringing all this up now?
470
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:02,882
We'll deal with it
471
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:03,616
when the time comes.
472
00:13:03,682 --> 00:13:04,483
>> Adam: Okay, well, that's
473
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:05,651
not an answer, Dad.
474
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:06,852
>> Victor: Are we going to
475
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:11,123
have a problem, or what?
476
00:13:11,190 --> 00:13:13,826
>> Adam: I need some time, to
477
00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:15,594
reacclimate myself and come up
478
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:16,929
with an aggressive plan
479
00:13:16,996 --> 00:13:18,264
for Newman Media moving forward,
480
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:20,633
okay? Once that's in place,
481
00:13:20,699 --> 00:13:22,835
I'll do your bidding.
482
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:25,037
Fair enough?
483
00:13:25,104 --> 00:13:28,607
>> Victor: With one caveat.
484
00:13:32,611 --> 00:13:34,213
>> Nikki: All right, enough
485
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,415
discussing Adam.
486
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:37,650
It's summer,
487
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:39,919
it's a beautiful day.
488
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,086
And surely there are other
489
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:43,289
things we can talk about?
490
00:13:43,355 --> 00:13:44,490
>> Victoria: What about you,
491
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:45,691
Mom? How are you doing?
492
00:13:45,758 --> 00:13:47,493
How's-- how's rehab going?
493
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,261
>> Nikki: Oh, well, uh,
494
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:51,630
I'm feeling very strong.
495
00:13:51,697 --> 00:13:53,632
Closer to the finish line.
496
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:54,967
Of course, tomorrow will be
497
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,335
a new finish line.
498
00:13:56,402 --> 00:13:58,237
You just have to stay one step
499
00:13:58,304 --> 00:13:59,572
ahead of it, you know.
500
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:01,907
But I know with your love
501
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:05,110
and support, I can do it.
502
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:06,045
>> Victoria: I'm really
503
00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:07,012
proud of you.
504
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:08,681
>> Nick: We both are.
505
00:14:08,747 --> 00:14:10,082
I really wish I could stay, but
506
00:14:10,149 --> 00:14:11,083
I've got a business meeting
507
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:12,484
I gotta get to. Um--
508
00:14:12,551 --> 00:14:13,552
Mom, I don't want you to
509
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:14,553
worry about it, all right?
510
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:15,621
Whatever Dad's up to,
511
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:16,789
whatever's ahead for
512
00:14:16,855 --> 00:14:18,023
Newman Media or
513
00:14:18,090 --> 00:14:19,358
Newman Enterprises, we'll
514
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:20,793
handle it, okay? Bye.
515
00:14:20,859 --> 00:14:25,397
>> Victoria: Bye.
516
00:14:25,464 --> 00:14:26,732
>> Nikki: I wish I had your
517
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,234
brother's confidence about this.
518
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:31,203
>> Victoria: So do I.
519
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:33,072
>> Nikki: So, how are you doing?
520
00:14:33,138 --> 00:14:34,306
You feeling better about your
521
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:37,443
decision to go back to work?
522
00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:40,879
Oh, no. Regrets already?
523
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:42,281
>> Victoria: Mom, it's just,
524
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:45,184
seeing Dad this way, so
525
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:47,219
determined to either bend us to
526
00:14:47,286 --> 00:14:49,355
his will or break us, I mean,
527
00:14:49,421 --> 00:14:50,823
I knew that if you and I kept
528
00:14:50,889 --> 00:14:52,324
fighting him, that it was only
529
00:14:52,391 --> 00:14:53,559
going to get worse, and I just
530
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:54,960
didn't want to see it affect
531
00:14:55,027 --> 00:14:57,930
your-- your rehabilitation.
532
00:14:57,997 --> 00:14:59,832
>> Nikki: You took the job
533
00:14:59,898 --> 00:15:02,868
to protect me?
534
00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:05,371
I-- I wish you had talked to me,
535
00:15:05,437 --> 00:15:07,006
because I would never want you
536
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:09,275
to make such a huge compromise
537
00:15:09,341 --> 00:15:10,509
for my sake.
538
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:12,011
>> Victoria: Mom, it's not as if
539
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:13,879
it was some huge sacrifice,
540
00:15:13,946 --> 00:15:15,614
taking back the job that I've
541
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:20,085
virtually wanted my entire life.
542
00:15:20,152 --> 00:15:23,022
Besides, even if it were, I did
543
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,423
it for you, and I would do
544
00:15:24,490 --> 00:15:25,924
anything for you.
545
00:15:25,991 --> 00:15:27,226
The most important thing
546
00:15:27,293 --> 00:15:28,227
is you getting better.
547
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:34,133
>> Adam: Of course, there is
548
00:15:34,199 --> 00:15:35,200
a caveat. Isn't there
549
00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:37,569
always with you?
550
00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:38,971
What is it? You want blood?
551
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,673
A limb?
552
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:41,907
I mean, I've already given up
553
00:15:41,974 --> 00:15:43,242
one of my kidneys.
554
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,711
>> Victor: Spare me, all right?
555
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:47,513
I simply want Newman Media
556
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:48,981
to do what it does best.
557
00:15:49,048 --> 00:15:50,082
>> Adam: And what is that?
558
00:15:50,149 --> 00:15:51,317
>> Victor: Use all of its
559
00:15:51,383 --> 00:15:53,285
platforms. Create a buzz about
560
00:15:53,352 --> 00:15:55,020
Glissade. Tell people that
561
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:56,855
Glissade is about to come up
562
00:15:56,922 --> 00:15:58,324
with a whole new vision for
563
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,224
the cosmetics industry.
564
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:00,459
>> Adam: Mm. As opposed to the
565
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:02,361
crusty, old, so-last-century
566
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:03,495
dinosaur like Jabot?
567
00:16:03,562 --> 00:16:04,296
>> Victor: Yeah,
568
00:16:04,363 --> 00:16:04,997
something like that.

570
00:16:05,864 --> 00:16:06,565
negative about Jack?
571
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:08,801

I'll get right on it.

>> Victor: Good.
575
00:16:12,438 --> 00:16:16,442
Well, son, this office
576
00:16:16,508 --> 00:16:19,545
suits you, you know.
577
00:16:19,611 --> 00:16:22,414
And by the way, whatever
578
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:23,649
negative thoughts you may have
579
00:16:23,716 --> 00:16:26,819
about all this, banish them.
580
00:16:26,885 --> 00:16:29,288
You made the right choice.
581
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:30,556
And your father
582
00:16:30,622 --> 00:16:34,960
is very pleased.
583
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,261

Pops, isn't it?
585
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:55,414
>> Claire: How can you be so
586
00:16:55,481 --> 00:16:58,784
certain it would be a disaster?
587
00:16:58,851 --> 00:16:59,918
>> Kyle: Summer and I aren't
588
00:16:59,985 --> 00:17:01,787
exactly getting along these
589
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:02,921
days. You've seen it yourself,
590
00:17:02,988 --> 00:17:04,123
the argument you walked in on
591
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:04,990
the other day.
592
00:17:05,057 --> 00:17:05,824
>> Claire: I'm sorry.
593
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:07,025
>> Kyle: No, don't apologize.
594
00:17:07,092 --> 00:17:08,494
And do not blame yourself
595
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,461
for any friction between us.
596
00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:11,096
>> Claire: Well, it's kind of
597
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:13,232
hard not to, when Summer feels
598
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:16,969
the way she feels about me.
599
00:17:17,035 --> 00:17:19,371
>> Kyle: What matters is that
600
00:17:19,438 --> 00:17:21,273
you're exactly who Harrison
601
00:17:21,340 --> 00:17:22,775
needs in his life right now.
602
00:17:22,841 --> 00:17:24,576
He adores you, and Summer has
603
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:26,278
gone so far as to
604
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:28,046
reluctantly admit that.
605
00:17:28,113 --> 00:17:32,017
Her real problem is with me.
606
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:34,987
She, um, disagrees with every
607
00:17:35,053 --> 00:17:36,722
decision I make, turns every
608
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:38,824
conversation into a battle, and
609
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:39,691
I'm not going to expose
610
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:41,794
Harrison to that toxicity.
611
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:42,861
>> Claire: I'm sorry things
612
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:44,763
have gotten so bad.
613
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:45,864
>> Kyle: That's another
614
00:17:45,931 --> 00:17:47,199
reason I want to take Harrison
615
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:50,102
to Paris. Um, he's a smart kid.
616
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:51,203
I'm sure he's picking up on
617
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:52,471
the friction, and I want to
618
00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:54,173
get him away from that.
619
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:57,142
At least for a little bit.
620
00:17:57,209 --> 00:18:00,345
So, we go?

622
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:03,482
think about it.
623
00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:04,817
>> Kyle: I hope you decide
624
00:18:04,883 --> 00:18:06,752
to say yes.

I upset you earlier.

you've come.

And you have a plan.

together in this office,
652
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:09,915
you broke up with me.
653
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,450
And you shattered my heart in

two million pieces.
655
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,555
Which I know now that you did
656
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:17,856
because you somehow thought

00:19:17,923 --> 00:19:19,324
you were helping me.

This is just another example of

946
00:28:25,303 --> 00:28:26,638
>> Nick: Which somehow led her
947
00:28:26,704 --> 00:28:28,039
straight to going to war
948
00:28:28,106 --> 00:28:28,807
for her son.
949
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:30,575
>> Phyllis: No, I told her
950
00:28:30,642 --> 00:28:31,810
what a nightmare
951
00:28:31,876 --> 00:28:33,244
a custody battle could be.
952
00:28:33,311 --> 00:28:34,746
I let her know that.
953
00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:35,914
>> Nick: You know, your fight
954
00:28:35,980 --> 00:28:38,550
for Daniel, it didn't end well.
955
00:28:38,616 --> 00:28:40,552
It caused a lot of pain.
956
00:28:40,618 --> 00:28:41,820
I know you don't want
957
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:42,821
that for our daughter.
958
00:28:45,990 --> 00:28:49,027
>> Claire: Thank you.
959
00:28:49,094 --> 00:28:51,129
Okay, I won't worry,
960
00:28:51,196 --> 00:28:52,864
but I'm still curious.
961
00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:54,999
What's going on?
962
00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:56,201
>> Victoria: I am going back
963
00:28:56,267 --> 00:28:58,036
to work. I'll be running
964
00:28:58,103 --> 00:29:00,004
Newman Enterprises with Nick.
965
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:01,739
>> Claire: That's so exciting!
966
00:29:01,806 --> 00:29:03,808
You put it all on hold for me,
967
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:05,610
so I'm thrilled
968
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:07,745
that you're going back to work.
969
00:29:07,812 --> 00:29:08,746
>> Victoria: Well, I appreciate
970
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:10,048
the support. That's very sweet
971
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:11,716
of you.
972
00:29:11,783 --> 00:29:13,685
But since you've come back
973
00:29:13,751 --> 00:29:15,420
into my life, my perspective has
974
00:29:15,487 --> 00:29:17,489
changed on so many things.
975
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:18,957
And I...
976
00:29:19,023 --> 00:29:20,792
I just wanted to spend
977
00:29:20,859 --> 00:29:21,960
all the time with you that
978
00:29:22,026 --> 00:29:23,394
I possibly could.
979
00:29:23,461 --> 00:29:24,562
You know, make up
980
00:29:24,629 --> 00:29:27,665
for lost time.
981
00:29:27,732 --> 00:29:30,435
>> Claire: Thanks.
982
00:29:30,502 --> 00:29:32,537
Yeah, finding that balance,
983
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:33,738
maybe even having to fight
984
00:29:33,805 --> 00:29:39,410
for it, doesn't seem easy.
985
00:29:39,477 --> 00:29:40,512
>> Victoria: What is it?
986
00:29:40,578 --> 00:29:43,381
Are you okay?
987
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:44,749
>> Claire: It's a work thing,
988
00:29:44,816 --> 00:29:46,417
so I will spare you the details,
989
00:29:46,484 --> 00:29:47,952
and I will handle it on my own.
990
00:29:48,019 --> 00:29:48,953
>> Victoria: No, no, no,
991
00:29:49,020 --> 00:29:50,788
that's not how it works.
992
00:29:50,855 --> 00:29:52,023
You see, mothers have certain
993
00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:53,458
prerogatives, as my own mother
994
00:29:53,525 --> 00:29:54,859
is very fond of reminding me.
995
00:29:54,926 --> 00:29:56,227
So that means that you tell me
996
00:29:56,294 --> 00:29:57,362
everything that's going on,
997
00:29:57,428 --> 00:29:59,164
and I will give you the best
998
00:29:59,230 --> 00:30:00,899
mom advice that I can.
999
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:02,367
>> Claire: Are you sure?
1000
00:30:02,433 --> 00:30:03,902
>> Victoria: Yes, I'm sure.
1001
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:05,036
I always want to be there
1002
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:05,937
for my kids when
1003
00:30:06,004 --> 00:30:07,272
they need my help.
1004
00:30:07,338 --> 00:30:09,641
That includes my grown kids.
1005
00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:11,109
>> Claire: Thank you,
1006
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:12,944
because I could really use
1007
00:30:13,011 --> 00:30:15,113
your advice.
1008
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:16,748
>> Phyllis: You know, it's not
1009
00:30:16,814 --> 00:30:18,183
like Kyle is giving Summer
1010
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:19,617
much choice.
1011
00:30:19,684 --> 00:30:20,852
He's making these horrible
1012
00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:22,420
decisions, every step of
1013
00:30:22,487 --> 00:30:24,522
the way, that affect Harrison.
1014
00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:25,790
>> Nick: I'm not sure working
1015
00:30:25,857 --> 00:30:27,292
with Audra qualifies
1016
00:30:27,358 --> 00:30:28,560
as a horrible decision.
1017
00:30:28,626 --> 00:30:30,161
All right. You don't even know
1018
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:31,462
how much time she's going
1019
00:30:31,529 --> 00:30:32,530
to spend with Harrison.
1020
00:30:32,597 --> 00:30:33,665
>> Phyllis: And you don't know
1021
00:30:33,731 --> 00:30:34,766
how much time she's going to
1022
00:30:34,832 --> 00:30:36,067
spend with Harrison either.
1023
00:30:36,134 --> 00:30:37,502
>> Nick: Look, she is a smart,
1024
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:38,870
qualified businesswoman.
1025
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:40,071
She's never once been charged
1026
00:30:40,138 --> 00:30:41,039
with a crime.
1027
00:30:41,105 --> 00:30:41,839
>> Phyllis: Okay.
1028
00:30:41,906 --> 00:30:43,041
>> Nick: All right, you don't
1029
00:30:43,107 --> 00:30:44,642
know. There's no indication,
1030
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:45,577
that she's going to be
1031
00:30:45,643 --> 00:30:46,544
in Harrison's life.
1032
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:47,712
The fact that our daughter
1033
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:49,247
doesn't like or trust her is
1034
00:30:49,314 --> 00:30:50,114
not a valid argument.
1035
00:30:50,181 --> 00:30:51,382
>> Phyllis: I don't--
1036
00:30:51,449 --> 00:30:52,951
Where is this coming from?
1037
00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:54,252
Why are you so supportive
1038
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:55,453
of Audra?
1039
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:56,487
I mean, didn't she have
1040
00:30:56,554 --> 00:30:57,822
a relationship with Noah?
1041
00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:58,923
And she broke his heart?
1042
00:30:58,990 --> 00:31:00,225
>> Nick: That has nothing to do
1043
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:01,059
with the situation.
1044
00:31:01,125 --> 00:31:02,093
>> Phyllis: Yeah, it does.
1045
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,461
It shows her character.
1046
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:04,429
I thought you were on
1047
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:05,797
our daughter's side.
1048
00:31:05,863 --> 00:31:06,864
>> Nick: I am.
1049
00:31:06,931 --> 00:31:07,932
But it doesn't mean I'm going
1050
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:08,833
to tell her she's doing
1051
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:09,701
the right thing by going
1052
00:31:09,767 --> 00:31:10,735
charging into a battle
1053
00:31:10,802 --> 00:31:11,803
with Kyle.
1054
00:31:11,869 --> 00:31:13,171
The best thing for Harrison,
1055
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:14,572
the best thing for all of them,
1056
00:31:14,639 --> 00:31:15,773
and this is indisputable,
1057
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,575
Phyllis, is to de-escalate
1058
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:18,776
the situation before
1059
00:31:18,843 --> 00:31:20,245
it gets worse.
1060
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:21,579
And that stink eye
1061
00:31:21,646 --> 00:31:23,047
you're giving me isn't going
1062
00:31:23,114 --> 00:31:24,582
to get me to change my mind.
1063
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:29,454
>> Nikki: Could I have a word,
1064
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,022
alone?
1065
00:31:31,089 --> 00:31:32,290
>> Sally: Yeah. I'm just going
1066
00:31:32,357 --> 00:31:34,192
to grab my bag here.
1067
00:31:34,259 --> 00:31:34,959
>> Adam: All right.
1068
00:31:35,026 --> 00:31:37,962
>> Sally: Okay. Bye. Bye.
1069
00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:41,799
>> Nikki: So, are you pleased
1070
00:31:41,866 --> 00:31:44,168
with yourself?
1071
00:31:44,235 --> 00:31:45,803
>> Adam: Should I be?
1072
00:31:45,870 --> 00:31:46,738
>> Nikki: I don't know,
1073
00:31:46,804 --> 00:31:48,106
that depends.
1074
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:51,509
You're back on top, in control,
1075
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:53,011
free to do whatever you want
1076
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:54,012
with the company that
1077
00:31:54,078 --> 00:31:56,014
you started.
1078
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,915
Or maybe your father forced you
1079
00:31:57,982 --> 00:32:00,551
into it, and there are some
1080
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:02,453
terms and conditions that might
1081
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,989
take away some of the shine.
1082
00:32:05,056 --> 00:32:08,293
Either way, I would like
1083
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:09,961
to hear from you what
1084
00:32:10,028 --> 00:32:12,430
your take is on all of this.
1085
00:32:20,238 --> 00:32:21,506
>> Claire: Kyle has business
1086
00:32:21,572 --> 00:32:22,807
in Paris with Audra
1087
00:32:22,874 --> 00:32:23,841
for their new company,
1088
00:32:23,908 --> 00:32:26,377
and he wants to bring Harrison
1089
00:32:26,444 --> 00:32:29,180
with him, so he's asked me
1090
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:29,981
to come with.
1091
00:32:30,048 --> 00:32:31,149
[ Victoria gasping ]
1092
00:32:31,215 --> 00:32:32,583
>> Victoria: To Paris?
1093
00:32:32,650 --> 00:32:33,818
Well, that sounds kind of
1094
00:32:33,885 --> 00:32:36,154
wonderful.
1095
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:38,189
>> Claire: Then, why do I feel
1096
00:32:38,256 --> 00:32:41,292
so incredibly anxious?
1097
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:42,260
>> Phyllis: Seriously, if you
1098
00:32:42,327 --> 00:32:45,396
think this is his stink eye,
1099
00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:47,432
I mean, you don't know me.
1100
00:32:47,498 --> 00:32:52,003
What's happened to us, really?
1101
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:54,872
For your information, I've been
1102
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:57,809
advising our daughter to let go
1103
00:32:57,875 --> 00:32:59,811
of her resentment that she has
1104
00:32:59,877 --> 00:33:03,247
for your niece, Nanny Claire.
1105
00:33:03,314 --> 00:33:04,882
Okay?
1106
00:33:04,949 --> 00:33:06,184
I would like some credit
1107
00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:08,152
for that.
1108
00:33:08,219 --> 00:33:10,088
I also told her
1109
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:11,255
that she shouldn't be fighting
1110
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:12,690
in public, which is what she was
1111
00:33:12,757 --> 00:33:14,158
doing with Kyle
1112
00:33:14,225 --> 00:33:15,526
when I walked in here.
1113
00:33:15,593 --> 00:33:17,161
>> Nick: Excellent advice.
1114
00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:18,796
Learned the hard way.
1115
00:33:18,863 --> 00:33:20,365
>> Phyllis: Yeah. And I also
1116
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:23,401
advised her to just identify
1117
00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:24,936
Audra for the snake
1118
00:33:25,002 --> 00:33:27,839
that she is and stay calm,
1119
00:33:27,905 --> 00:33:30,241
cool, and collected and not
1120
00:33:30,308 --> 00:33:31,609
let her emotions guide her.
1121
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:32,910
I did that.
1122
00:33:32,977 --> 00:33:34,178
>> Nick: Words of wisdom from
1123
00:33:34,245 --> 00:33:37,715
the queen of impulse control.
1124
00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:40,051
>> Phyllis: I feel I've learned.
1125
00:33:40,118 --> 00:33:41,018
>> Nick: It sounds like
1126
00:33:41,085 --> 00:33:44,389
maturity. Absolutely.
1127
00:33:44,455 --> 00:33:45,523
You're a real piece
1128
00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:48,459
of work, you know that?
1129
00:33:48,526 --> 00:33:50,428
Well, my business lunch
1130
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:52,196
just got canceled.
1131
00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:53,898
My day freed up,
1132
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:55,767
and I'm starving.
1133
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:58,002
Want to have lunch with me?
1134
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:03,608
>> Adam: Look, I-- I was happy
1135
00:34:03,674 --> 00:34:05,343
at Newman Enterprises.
1136
00:34:05,410 --> 00:34:06,644
I actually thought things were
1137
00:34:06,711 --> 00:34:07,678
going great running the company
1138
00:34:07,745 --> 00:34:08,679
with Nick.
1139
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:10,915
I never expected to be here.
1140
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:11,883
I definitely didn't lobby
1141
00:34:11,949 --> 00:34:12,950
for it.
1142
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:14,085
Took me a while
1143
00:34:14,152 --> 00:34:15,286
to make a decision.
1144
00:34:15,353 --> 00:34:17,054
>> Nikki: But you said yes.
1145
00:34:17,121 --> 00:34:19,056
>> Adam: Dad was insistent.
1146
00:34:19,123 --> 00:34:21,025
You know how he is.
1147
00:34:21,092 --> 00:34:22,560
>> Nikki: Yes, I know how much
1148
00:34:22,627 --> 00:34:24,495
Victor wanted you to be CEO,
1149
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:26,697
and I also think that you know
1150
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:27,999
more about this situation
1151
00:34:28,065 --> 00:34:29,300
than you're letting on.
1152
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:31,569
>> Adam: As I've said,
1153
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:33,271
I am as much in the dark as
1154
00:34:33,337 --> 00:34:34,539
everybody else.
1155
00:34:34,605 --> 00:34:35,606
>> Nikki: You realize I fought
1156
00:34:35,673 --> 00:34:36,340
Victor on this.
1157
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:37,608
>> Adam: I would expect nothing
1158
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:42,713
less, but you backed down.
1159
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:44,215
>> Nikki: Victor is relentless
1160
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:45,316
when he wants something,
1161
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:46,851
and it was exhausting.
1162
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,287
So, I have chosen to step back
1163
00:34:49,353 --> 00:34:51,222
and focus on my recovery until
1164
00:34:51,289 --> 00:34:52,690
my outpatient treatment is
1165
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,025
complete.
1166
00:34:54,091 --> 00:34:54,792
>> Adam: Sounds like
1167
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:55,493
a smart move.
1168
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,562
>> Nikki: It's also temporary.
1169
00:34:57,628 --> 00:34:58,529
>> Adam: As you
1170
00:34:58,596 --> 00:34:59,430
keep reminding me.
1171
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:00,531
>> Nikki: So, don't get
1172
00:35:00,598 --> 00:35:01,999
too comfortable.
1173
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:04,802
I will be returning, and I will
1174
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:07,038
expect you to graciously
1175
00:35:07,104 --> 00:35:08,439
get the hell out of my office.
1176
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:09,740
>> Adam: Well, here's the thing.
1177
00:35:09,807 --> 00:35:10,875
>> Nikki: Oh, I knew there
1178
00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:12,443
would be a retort.
1179
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:15,012
>> Adam: Will you let me finish?
1180
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:17,982
Victor swears that he has
1181
00:35:18,049 --> 00:35:19,450
a plan for me after this
1182
00:35:19,517 --> 00:35:21,252
temporary gig.
1183
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:22,253
But he won't give me
1184
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,955
any details.
1185
00:35:24,021 --> 00:35:26,290
That makes me uneasy,
1186
00:35:26,357 --> 00:35:27,558
and I might be reluctant
1187
00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:28,860
to cede control.
1188
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:33,431
>> Nikki: Is there a threat
1189
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:35,199
in there somewhere?
1190
00:35:35,266 --> 00:35:36,767
>> Adam: I don't know.
1191
00:35:36,834 --> 00:35:39,637
It's merely a suggestion that
1192
00:35:39,704 --> 00:35:41,539
you convince Victor to tell you
1193
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:43,541
his plans for my future.
1194
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:45,543
>> Nikki: Or what?
1195
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:46,944
You'll fight me
1196
00:35:47,011 --> 00:35:50,648
for Newman Media?
1197
00:35:50,715 --> 00:35:52,517
>> Adam: I would like to think
1198
00:35:52,583 --> 00:35:53,684
that we could work together
1199
00:35:53,751 --> 00:35:57,021
for our mutual benefit.
1200
00:35:57,088 --> 00:35:58,923
The more you help me, the less
1201
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:00,358
likely conflict will be
1202
00:36:00,424 --> 00:36:01,559
in the future.
