>> Phyllis: Hey, I'm so glad
I ran into you.
Are you guys all packed for
your trip to Portugal?
>> Heather: Actually, Phyllis,
our trip has been postponed.
>> Phyllis: Postponed? Oh.
Okay, well Daniel
didn't let me know.
>> Heather: Oh, no, we--
we just decided it. It just,
it wasn't a good time for us,
so, you know, just thought--
>> Phyllis: Not a good time?
You're both unemployed.
It's a great time to go.
>> Heather: Oh, wow.
Well, you know, as you said,
the weather is very hot, so...
>> Phyllis: What's going on?
Is something happening between
you and Daniel?
>> Lucy: Ugh. Just wait until
you see this new swimsuit
Mom bought me for
the party tonight.
It is going to slay.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I'm not really
sure that's something that
a father wants to see.
>> Lucy: I just mean I have
to look cool since Faith is
letting me hang out with her
and her friends tonight.
>> Daniel: Sure,
can't look like a dweeb.
>> Lucy: Yeah,
something like that.
>> Daniel: You're really excited
about this, huh?
>> Lucy: Uh, you think?
>> Daniel: Well, I'm glad
you're having fun, but,
you know, I want to talk to you
before you go running off with
your friends about, uh,
planning something special
for your mom.
>> Lucy: Really? Why?
>> Daniel: Why? Uh, gee,
I don't know, because I think
we hurt her feelings by bailing
on her instead of going to visit
your grandpa in Portugal.
>> Lucy: Yeah, I guess we did
kind of bail on her last minute.
>> Daniel: Yeah, you think?
>> Lucy: I know, I know,
blame it on me
and you're right.
We should definitely do
something special for her,
something really nice.
But please, not tonight.
This pool party
means everything.
Uh, you know, Dad,
just count me in on whatever
you plan for Mom.
I'm sure it'll be perfect, but
can I go?
I got to find out what time
the pool party is tonight.
>> Daniel: Yeah, yeah,
don't let me keep you
from your social schedule.
>> Lucy: Hi, Faith.
>> Daniel: Hello.
>> Faith: Oh, hey, Lucy.
This is my friend, Miriam.
>> Lucy: Oh, hi, Miriam.
Are you coming to the pool
party tonight?
>> Miriam: Yep.
>> Lucy: Oh, and, um, what time
does it start?
Should I meet you there or
should I ride with you guys?
>> Faith: About that.
I know that I said
that you could tag along with us
and I hate to disappoint you,
but I'm afraid it's not
gonna work out.
♪♪
>> Jack: Nikki, hey!
>> Nikki: Hey.
>> Jack: I was just about to
call you. I've been wondering
how you're doing.
>> Nikki: Oh, well, I assume
you're referring to my
outpatient treatment, which is
going very well.
>> Jack: I'm happy to hear that.
Hey, let me buy you
a cup of coffee.
I'd love to hear more.
Unless we should be on guard.
Is Victor meeting you here?
>> Nikki: No.
But what if he were?
>> Jack: Well, he's made it very
clear he would not appreciate
seeing the two of us together.
In fact, he probably has his
team out there following your
every step, reporting back if
you were anywhere near me.
>> Nikki: Well, that wouldn't
surprise me.
But he doesn't have a say in
who my friends are.
I won't let him.
>> Jack: I'm glad to hear that.
>> Nikki: So yeah, some coffee
and conversation would be great.
>> Jack: Well, good.
Once I have your attention,
there is something I wanted to
discuss with you.
[ Sally sighing ]
>> Billy: Sally. Sorry.
I didn't mean to startle you.
Is everything okay?
>> Sally: Yeah, yeah, of course.
>> Billy: You sure?
>> Sally: Yeah, I was just
thinking about work.
New design for
a possible new line.
Marchetti Z.
Not sure if Chelsea told you
about it.
>> Billy: She might have.
She's a little
distracted lately.
>> Sally: Well, it's
super exciting.
Trendier styles
for a younger generation.
Yeah, I'd be the lead designer.
>> Billy: Congratulations,
that's-- that's great.
Although, you don't seem all
that excited about it.
In fact, it seems like
the opposite.
Like maybe there's something
else you're worried about.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Chelsea: Good, you're here.
I have to talk to you.
>> Adam: What's wrong?
Is it Connor?
>> Chelsea: No, no, sorry.
I didn't mean to scare you.
>> Adam: Well, what is it?
>> Chelsea: It's Billy.
I almost told him everything.
>> Adam: You said almost.
Please tell me you didn't
actually tell Billy anything
about us.
>> Chelsea: I started to
tell him
and then I stopped myself.
>> Adam: Oh, thank God.
Well, what happened? Where?
>> Chelsea: I was at the
overlook at Chancellor Park.
I was trying to get away.
I was trying to think
things through.
Everything that happened
between us, it's been making
me crazy and I was a mess.
>> Adam: Yeah, this has been
hard for me, too.
>> Chelsea: Well, Billy was able
to track me down.
And he could see the state
I was in. I tried to hide it,
but I couldn't.
And I started to tell him that
I can't do this anymore.
And he gave me a pep talk.
He started to tell me how
strong I am, how great I've
been handling all this.
He told me I should
talk to him more.
Lean on him more.
And Adam, it almost broke me.
I just thought for a second,
"Maybe if I just confessed
everything, then this burden,
this lie would be lifted.
Maybe all of the stress would
go away if I just told Billy
and explained why it happened."
>> Adam: Okay, okay.
I can-- I can see
how tempting that may be.
How maybe it could alleviate
some of the guilt,
but have you considered how it
could have the opposite effect
and how it could completely--
>> Chelsea: Yes. Yes!
>> Adam: Destroy everything
for both of us?
>> Chelsea: of course, I've
thought about that, Adam. That's
all I've been thinking about.
>> Adam: Everybody says that
you can tell them everything,
but the minute that you do,
everything changes,
especially if it's the last
thing that they want to hear.
>> Chelsea: Yes, yes,
I thought about that, Adam.
And that's what stopped me.
>> Adam: It was the right thing
to do. It was the smart thing
to do, considering how it could
affect both our relationships.
>> Chelsea: I don't know,
it's this guilt.
It's like tearing me up inside.
Adam, I don't think you get it.
You don't feel like
what I feel inside.
>> Adam: You don't think
this is killing me too?
You don't think I hate that
I have to keep this from Sally?
>> Chelsea: What we did
was so wrong.
>> Adam: Chelsea, our son is
going through something
extremely traumatic and we had
a moment of weakness.
We're human, okay?
That night,
we both needed comfort.
>> Chelsea: I know why
we did what we did.
The pain was unbearable.
Both our hearts were broken, so
we turned to each other.
>> Adam: But it doesn't mean
that you love Billy any less,
does it?
The same way that
I still love Sally.
Do you really want to lose that?
>> Sally: You're right.
Yeah, I am distracted.
>> Billy: Is it something
you want to talk about?
>> Sally: Adam and I
got in an argument this morning.
>> Billy: I'm sorry.
>> Sally: It was about him going
back to run Newman Media.
>> Billy: I didn't know.
>> Sally: Neither did I.
>> Billy: Well, devil's
advocate, maybe that's
a good thing for him.
>> Sally: Yeah, I mean,
it depends on
what Victor's up to now.
I mean, he specifically asked
Adam to step in and temporarily
take over for Nikki.
He was skeptical about it at
first, and so I was surprised
that he accepted.
I challenged him.
>> Billy: Ooh, I bet you
he didn't like that.
>> Sally: Yeah, he's just been
a little edgy lately,
and I think this is why.
>> Billy: Well, taking orders
from Victor can make
a person edgy.
>> Sally: Yeah, well, which is
exactly why I tried to warn him
against getting sucked into
Victor Newman's lure again.
I mean, he already has enough
on his plate dealing with
Connor, but he assured me that
there was nothing to worry
about and that being the CEO of
his own division was a good
thing, and then he reminded me
that this is not the first time
he's had to manage Victor's
manipulations, so...
>> Billy: Adam has a lot of
experience being
Victor Newman's son.
>> Sally: Yeah, anyway, um,
like I said, we smoothed things
over, and yeah,
I've accepted that he's going
into this with his eyes
wide open.
>> Billy: It seems like there's
something else weighing on you.
>> Sally: I guess I'm just...
worried about him.
In general.
I mean, I'd think with this
Connor news, that he would be
less tense, not more.
>> Billy: I was with
Chelsea earlier and...
she was very upset.
She said, I quote, "I can't do
this anymore, and that she has
made mistakes."
I tried to get her to open up
to me and, you know, explain
what she meant by that.
>> Sally: What'd she say?
>> Billy: Nothing.
She gave me some excuse about
having a meeting
and that she had to go.
>> Sally: So,
you're worried, too.
>> Billy: Maybe things aren't
going as well as they say,
or maybe they don't want us
to really know
what happened in Baltimore.
>> Jack: Thank you.
>> Nikki: So, what did you want
to talk about?
>> Jack: Your job
at Newman Media.
Victor letting you go
so unceremoniously had to sting.
>> Nikki: Ah.
Victor thinks it's for
my own good.
I don't agree,
but it's official.
Adam is temporarily filling in
for me.
>> Jack: Adam?
>> Nikki: Victor keeps saying
it's so I can focus on
my recovery, but something
tells me there is more to it.
>> Jack: More to it like what?
>> Nikki: I don't know.
But I do know that now I have
to worry about Adam.
I mean, who knows how much
havoc he can wreak
while I'm gone.
>> Jack: Well, you said he was
temporary. How much damage
can he do?
>> Nikki: There's no telling.
This is what
keeps me up at night.
I mean, I did great things with
Newman Media,
if I do say so myself.
>> Jack: I wholeheartedly agree
with that.
>> Nikki: Well, what if he finds
a way to undo them?
>> Jack: Adam has his own
history with Newman Media.
I seriously doubt that he's out
to destroy it.
>> Nikki: We'll have to agree
to disagree.
>> Jack: Which makes me wonder
all the more.
>> Nikki: About what?
>> Jack: Why you didn't fight
harder to keep your job there.
>> Nikki: Jack, I did fight.
I fought as hard as I could.
But then I realized the stress
of the battle was making me
want to drink more than ever.
>> Phyllis: Timing and
temperature, that's what caused
you to cancel your trip?
>> Heather: What is so hard
to believe about that?
>> Phyllis: It's-- it's just odd
that you guys would cancel
such a huge trip
at the last minute, that's all.
>> Heather: Oh, it-- it happens
all the time. People do it.
It's-- it's not odd.
But what I think is odd is that
you automatically jump to
conclusions that Daniel and I
are having problems.
I mean, is this perhaps your
not-so-subtle way of probing
into our personal lives?
>> Phyllis: Probing? Me?
I'm probing?
>> Heather: Okay, fine, see,
put your mind at ease. We're--
we're doing fine, and things
are actually very good with us.
>> Phyllis: Right, okay.
>> Heather: Why do I think
you'd be happier
if I had given you
the opposite answer?
>> Phyllis: Oh, my gosh,
Heather, please
don't be ridiculous.
I want you guys to work.
I so desperately want you guys
to work.
I've been your biggest
cheerleader. I flew all the way
to Portugal to get you
to come back to Daniel.
>> Heather: I know, I know.
How could I forget?
Okay, in that case, why not
just take the win?
Daniel and I are together.
So, just stop prodding and--
and poking our relationship.
>> Phyllis: I'm very concerned
about him.
He's in a very precarious
situation right now.
As you know,
he's lost everything.
Do I have to remind you that
that's what happened before
when he spiraled down to that
very, very dark place?
>> Heather: I was worried about
that at first, too.
I understand.
>> Phyllis: I-- I know you.
You must be worried, because
that's what caused him to push
you away, and then you ended up
moving to Portugal with Lucy.
>> Heather: That's not what
this is. It's-- it's not
the same as that.
He's a very, very different man
now than he was before, and
he's handling this situation
with so much more strength and
determination, and there's
a clarity, and there's
a grounding to him now. He's--
he's not gonna fall
apart this time.
>> Phyllis: I hope so.
Can I ask you a question?
>> Heather: Yes.
>> Phyllis: Okay, if,
God forbid,
that does happen again and--
>> Heather: It's not.
It's not.
>> Phyllis: Okay, but if it just
does, if it does,
will you stick it out with him?
Will you?
Or will you leave him
like you did before?
>> Faith: I'm really sorry
you can't come, Lucy.
My friend who's throwing the
party rented out
the entire place.
There's a strict headcount
policy, and there's probably
gonna be alcohol.
>> Lucy: I thought
you didn't drink.
>> Faith: I'm just saying that
there's gonna be
an older crowd there.
>> Lucy: Oh, yeah, no, I--
I totally get it.
Maybe I'll just, um,
tag along next time.
>> Faith: Yeah, for sure.
>> Lucy: Okay, well, um,
I'll see you guys later.
>> Faith: Wow, hated to have
to do that.
>> Miriam: That was extra.
>> Daniel: Hey, what's up?
Everything okay?
>> Lucy: Yeah,
everything's great.
The party's on
and I can't wait.
>> Nikki: Nothing is worth
losing my sobriety over.
>> Jack: I'm happy to hear you
say that.
>> Nikki: Well, I'm glad
you agree because
I've been worried about
you, too.
>> Jack: Oh, how so?
>> Nikki: Well, I've just been
concerned that this situation
with Kyle might tempt you to
turn to pills again.
>> Jack: Thank you for
your concern.
I'm fine, I promise.
I wish I could say the same
thing about the situation
between my wife and my son.
>> Nikki: What's happened now?
>> Jack: Kyle can't forgive
Diane for firing him
and now he's talking about
moving out and
taking my grandson with him.
And to make matters worse, he
has now taken the reins as
co-CEO, along with
Audra Charles, at Glissade.
>> Nikki: So, now it's just
you and Diane
in charge at Jabot.
Wasn't it her idea
to fire Kyle?
>> Jack: Wait, what--
what are you getting at now?
>> Nikki: Jack, I'm just trying
to understand where Kyle
is coming from.
>> Jack: What's to understand?
He thinks Diane and I let him
down, which could not be
further from the truth.
We have been totally
supportive, in spite of
everything that's happened.
>> Nikki: Well, it may be hard
for him to feel that way.
Maybe he feels like he was
pushed out.
>> Jack: Except it was Kyle who
endorsed Diane for the co-CEO
job in the first place,
insisted she be hired.
>> Nikki: Maybe he thinks he had
no other choice but
to endorse her.
>> Jack: Even if that was true,
why would he cut her off
at every turn?
All the insults and
backstabbing, it pushed her to
the breaking point.
>> Nikki: I'm sure it did.
>> Jack: Okay, what are you
not saying?
>> Nikki: I just think it's
interesting that everything
Diane wanted when she first came
back to town, she now has.
>> Chelsea: Of course,
I love Billy.
Very much.
And I'm not willing to risk
losing him, which is why
I stopped myself from
telling him the truth.
>> Adam: Then, we need to try
to put this behind us
and we need to move on
with our lives.
>> Chelsea: That's what scares
me, Adam.
If I came so close to telling
him once, what's to stop me
from having those
feelings again?
And next time, I might not be
able to stop myself.
>> Adam: Chelsea, you have to
get a hold of yourself,
and you have to be strong.
>> Chelsea: I know. I know.
But the guilt is eating
me up inside.
>> Adam: This isn't just
about you, okay?
Blowing this secret open
affects both of us, and I don't
want to lose Sally.
>> Chelsea: What if I talk
to Billy? What if
I can make him understand?
Maybe convince him to keep it
a secret and he doesn't
tell Sally?
>> Adam: Do you really think
that Billy will be
that understanding?
We cheated on him, Chelsea!
>> Chelsea: Under extreme
circumstances. It was a mistake.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Billy's made his fair share.
If anyone's gonna understand,
it would be him.
>> Adam: I'm sorry.
I just-- I don't have your
confidence when it comes to
Billy's compassion and
understanding, especially when
it comes to me.
There's no way he's gonna
cut me a break.
>> Chelsea: Well, you can't be
sure about that.
>> Adam: Even if I am wrong
about him, what about Connor?
Isn't he
the important one here?
>> Chelsea: Of course, he is.
>> Adam: Well, then, what if
blowing this secret open
threatens his progress,
or worse, it causes a setback?
>> Chelsea: No. Connor can never
find out about this.
>> Adam: What if he does
find out about it, Chelsea?
What if he finds out that both
our relationships broke up
because of him?
That we were so overwhelmed with
what he was going through
that we made a terrible mistake
and we destroyed the people that
we care about?
He would blame himself.
>> Billy: I think it's better
we talk here.
It's a little more private.
[ Sally sighing ]
>> Sally: So,
you think that there's
something they don't want us
to know about their visit
with Connor?
>> Billy: Look, I'm concerned,
okay?
Something has changed
and I don't know.
Maybe it's Connor
and maybe it's Chelsea.
>> Sally: I mean, they've been
going through so much. You don't
think it's just stress?
>> Billy: Yeah, absolutely.
I think it could be.
But I'm also worried about
where that stress is coming
from, if someone is causing it.
>> Sally: So, you think
Adam is at fault?
>> Billy: I mean, we all know
Chelsea's history.
>> Sally: Yeah, and so does
Adam, and he's done a great job
of supporting her.
>> Billy: But eventually--
>> Sally: No, come on, Billy.
>> Billy: Look, okay, fine,
I will give it to him.
He has been very supportive,
okay? But trust me,
I have a very long history
with Adam.
>> Sally: Look, if you brought
me up here to badmouth him,
really don't want to--
>> Billy: I'm saying that
something's going on.
I don't know what it is, but I
think we both know that they
are on edge for some sort of
reason, okay?
And my instinct is telling me
that it's Adam.
Chelsea is spiraling, and that
terrifies me, and I don't know
if Adam did something
or he said something.
Or maybe it's Connor.
Maybe the self-harm is--
is worse than they let on.
I don't know.
>> Sally: God, I hadn't even
thought about that.
>> Billy: Look, whatever it is,
we got to find out the truth.
That's the only way that we can
truly be there for them.
>> Heather: Let's get one thing
straight, Phyllis.
Back in Savannah, I did not run
out on Daniel at the first sign
of collapse.
I did everything
I could think of.
Just none of it worked.
>> Phyllis: Really,
you did everything?
Did you talk him into maybe...
you know, opening up to
a therapist, or maybe get in
touch with me?
>> Heather: Yes, of course.
He was furious when I mentioned
either of those things.
He pretty much bit my head off
for suggesting it.
>> Phyllis: Okay, so your
solution was to just pack up
and run away?
>> Heather: I stayed as long
as I possibly could.
Was I at my breaking point?
Yes. Yes, I absolutely was.
But I never left
for my own sake.
The reason I ended up leaving
was because of Lucy.
>> Phyllis: So, it was Lucy's
idea to go to Portugal?
>> Heather: I could see what
her dad's decline was doing
to her.
I didn't want her to watch him
fall deeper into the abyss.
I mean, she was a kid.
It was breaking her heart and
her innocence to see her dad go
to such a selfish, dark place.
>> Phyllis: Okay, I get it.
I get that.
So she witnessed this.
>> Heather: How could she miss
the change in him?
I mean, yes, he absolutely
tried to keep most of what he
was going through to himself
back then.
And that's why, by the time
I realized how bad
it had gotten, he was--
he was way too far down
the rabbit hole.
>> Phyllis: Okay, see, that's
what I'm concerned about,
Heather. Because you missed
the signs before.
I'm afraid you're going to miss
them again.
>> Heather: No.
Look, in hindsight, it was
crystal clear, okay?
But I know what they are now.
If, for some reason, Daniel
starts to go down that path
again, which-- which he's not,
I will know right away.
I love him.
>> Phyllis: I mean,
you loved him before,
didn't you? And...
>> Heather: Yes, I did.
But I know how to handle it
differently now.
Okay? And besides,
Daniel is a different man now
than he was before.
>> Phyllis: How can you
be so sure?
>> Heather: How can you not be?
Maybe you need to have a little
bit more faith in your son.
And in me.
>> Daniel: Oh, hey there,
you two.
What's, uh, going on here?
>> Phyllis: Seriously,
why would you think
something's going on?
We're just talking about
our future, right?
>> Daniel: Whose future were
you talking about?
>> Phyllis: Well, yours.
Both of you.
About what you're going to do
for work, now that
you both don't have a job.
>> Lucy: Okay, that's definitely
my cue to go.
This sounds like
an adult conversation.
I think I'm just going to go
get ready for the pool party.
>> Daniel: But before you go,
I know that we've already been
over this, but I'm going to go
ahead and I'm going to repeat
myself anyway. No drinking.
>> Lucy: Dad, seriously.
>> Heather: Yeah, even if you
see your other friends doing it,
don't even think about it.
>> Daniel: And that goes for any
other substances as well.
>> Heather: Anyone offers you
anything, just say no.
No thanks.
>> Daniel: Any bad boys hit
on you, you turn and you run
the other way. You got it?
>> Lucy: Can you two please
stop trying to be those parents?
I can handle myself.
>> Daniel: I know you can handle
yourself, but this is a little
bit of an older crowd than
you're used to hanging out with,
so your mother and I,
we just want to make sure that
you don't find yourself in over
your head, okay?
>> Lucy: I'll be fine.
I promise.
Can the two of you please just
be happy that I'm making
new friends like Faith?
>> Heather: We are happy, honey,
okay? We just, we want you to be
careful, right?
>> Daniel: And I will
pick you up.
You call me when you're done.
>> Lucy: Okay. Okay, I will.
I gotta go. Bye.
[ Daniel exhaling ]
>> Jack: I don't think I like
where this is going.
What are you implying?
You still think Diane has some
hidden Abbott agenda?
>> Nikki: That's not
what I said.
I'm just saying that everything
Diane has ever wanted has
conveniently landed in her lap,
and pretty easily.
>> Jack: Okay, that shoots down
your misguided theory.
What Diane wanted most
when she came back to town,
she doesn't have.
>> Nikki: And what is that?
>> Jack: The one thing
she came back to town for
and was ready to face all
of her haters was to reconnect
with Kyle, to try to repair
the damage done to him
in her absence in his life.
>> Nikki: Well, then why did she
fire him? She didn't have
to do that, did she?
>> Jack: Okay, I'm not gonna
let you denigrate her.
I'm not gonna let you paint her
as someone who's only in
my life for what she can get.
I think
this conversation's over.
>> Nikki: No, Jack, stop,
please. I'm sorry.
I-- I didn't mean to upset you.
You're-- you're reading
more into what I said
than what I meant.
>> Jack: Am I really?
I don't think I am.
>> Nikki: All right.
You're right.
I don't trust Diane.
And frankly, I don't know
if I ever will.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Billy: You got a minute?
>> Adam: Depends on
what you want.
>> Billy: I need to talk to you
about Chelsea.
Something is up with her
and I'm hoping you can tell me
what it is.
>> Adam: Well, why would you
think that?
>> Billy: Because something's
changed.
And I noticed it when
you got back from Baltimore.
>> Adam: Well, then why are you
coming to me?
Why don't you just
ask her yourself?
>> Billy: I did, but she's not
willing to open up to me
about it, so...
I'm hoping you can
shed some light and help me
understand what's really
going on.
>> Sally: Chelsea. Hi.
You working?
>> Chelsea: Um, yeah, I-- I was
just trying to figure out what's
going on with the new line.
Not getting much done, though.
>> Sally: Well, I'm glad
I ran into you.
I was hoping to talk with you
about something.
>> Chelsea: Sure.
>> Sally: Can I sit?
[ Sally sighing ]
Did something bad
happen in Baltimore when you
and Adam were there?
Something that the two of you
haven't told Billy and me?
>> Chelsea: Yes, something bad
happened.
Connor was put in inpatient.
He hurt himself.
You know all that.
>> Sally: Yeah, no, I-- I do.
I do. And I-- I didn't mean
to stir anything up.
You know, I know that we're all
hoping that you can put this
behind you,
that Connor's getting better.
I mean, he is
getting better, right?
>> Chelsea: Yes. Yeah.
>> Sally: Okay, and it's not
worse than what you said?
>> Chelsea: Well, it was pretty
bad, obviously.
>> Sally: Yeah, no, I mean,
I-- I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to imply otherwise.
It's just...
It's just Adam has just been
a little on edge lately.
You know, we actually got in
a fight this morning.
>> Chelsea: Oh, I'm sorry.
>> Sally: No, no, it's--
That wasn't my point.
We're fine.
But I imagine that
this has been especially
hard on...
a mom.
And I know that I've been
singing Adam's praises
for supporting you.
You would tell me if that
wasn't the truth, wouldn't you?
>> Chelsea: Well, I'm not sure
what you're asking me.
>> Sally: Did Adam do something
to upset you?
>> Chelsea: Uh, no.
Adam didn't do anything
to upset me.
Um, he's been very supportive.
I'm fine.
So I-- I can't really speak
to what's been bothering him.
>> Sally: Yeah, no, no,
of course. I mean, I was just
hoping maybe you'd
have some insight.
>> Chelsea: No, you know what,
Sally? I think you should
probably just ask Adam directly.
>> Adam: I don't know what kind
of light I can shed on what's
going on with Chelsea,
other than the fact that
we're both worried about
Connor and wondering if he's
gonna be able
to live a normal life again.
>> Billy: Look,
I understand that.
What the two of you are going
through, what you're living
through, is incredibly
traumatic.
>> Adam: Yeah, this last trip
was rough.
>> Billy: Yeah, you both came
back pretty torn up about it.
>> Adam: Yeah, well, when you
find out a great family trip
causes your son to hurt himself.
>> Billy: Well, I'll say
the same thing to you as I said
to her. You can't blame yourself
for that.
>> Adam: How could we not,
Billy?
He's in inpatient therapy.
We were devastated. We were
out of our minds with worry.
>> Billy: But he's doing better,
isn't he?
>> Adam: There's no promises,
but that's what they keep
telling us.
>> Billy: But you believe them
when they say that
he's turned the corner.
>> Adam: I do.
I have to.
>> Billy: That's good.
Because Chelsea does too.
So, why is she still so upset?
She's blaming herself.
She's saying that
she made mistakes.
>> Adam: I don't know.
>> Billy: Okay, well, I can't
help but think you had something
to do with it.
>> Adam: Me?
>> Billy: Did you get angry
with her? Did you guys fight
when things were scary
with Connor?
Did you do something
to upset her?
>> Jack: Even at this stage in
my relationship with Diane,
you won't give her an inch.
Not at any benefit of
the doubt at all.
>> Nikki: Well, I am sorry,
but Diane's past is not easy
to overlook.
>> Jack: We have all done
horrible things in the past that
we are not proud of, haven't we?
>> Nikki: You can't deny that
some things are more horrible
than others.
>> Jack: We're talking about
my wife.
The woman I love.
The woman I want to spend
the rest of my life with.
I would like to think one of
my dearest friends could somehow
keep herself from looking
at her as a gold digger
who's out for herself.
No, you want to lead with doubt
and suspicion.
I'm done here.
>> Nikki: Jack, wait a minute.
[ Nikki sighing ]
>> Daniel: So, about this
conversation, why do I get
the feeling that there's
more to it?
>> Phyllis: Why are you always
so suspicious of me?
>> Daniel: Mm, because I know
you, and you're a meddler.
You like to meddle, even if
it's for a good cause.
You just can't help yourself.
>> Heather: Well, now that
Lucy's gone, I can tell you what
your mother and I were
talking about.
She's worried that I will
abandon you the second you get
too depressed to deal with
the loss of OmegaSphere.
>> Phyllis: Uh, that's not true.
I did not say this.
What I actually said was
I was worried how you were
holding up after experiencing
losing everything that
you worked so hard for.
>> Daniel: So, meddling,
just like I said.
>> Phyllis: I am a concerned,
loving mother.
I am not a meddler.
>> Daniel: Okay.
Well, just so you know,
I am not going to fall apart
like I did last time.
>> Heather: That's exactly what
I was telling her.
>> Daniel: You know, I had
to learn my lesson the hard way.
And I am not going to risk
losing my family again.
I built OmegaSphere.
I can build a new business,
even if it means creating
something completely new.
>> Heather: And wherever that
path takes him, I will be
right by his side, all the way.
>> Daniel: So, Mom, please,
I am imploring you.
No meddling.
No thinking that you know
better than us.
Just let us live our lives.
>> Nikki: Jack.
Jack, hear me out.
>> Jack: You made your position
quite clear.
>> Nikki: I hate that
our conversation ended
the way it did.
I can't leave it like that.
>> Jack: I think I made
my position pretty clear, too.
>> Nikki: The last thing
I wanted was to create friction
between us. Don't you always say
that we should be honest
with each other?
>> Jack: Yeah, always.
>> Nikki: I wish that I could
say that I trust and believe
in Diane like you do,
but I just can't.
And I have tried to be civil
to her for your sake.
But now with the situation
with Kyle--
>> Jack: Okay, I-- I know
you think you have
all the answers.
Answer this for me.
Why would losing her son be
part of Diane's grand plan
to take over?
It's pretty clear you have
no faith whatsoever
in my instincts or my heart.
I think that's the part that
hurts me the most.
You really think I would not
know if Diane had some secret,
hidden agenda?
>> Nikki: I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I only want the best for you.
You deserve every happiness.
Always.
>> Adam: As a matter of fact,
Chelsea and I did fight
in Baltimore.
You know, when things got crazy
and we both were feeling pretty
helpless, I lashed out.
And I have to admit, I acted
like a-- like a jackass.
>> Billy: Why am I
not surprised?
>> Adam: I was devastated.
Okay, we both were.
I mean, I told you,
we both got drunk.
Or at least I did.
And I needed someone to blame,
and Chelsea was
in the line of fire.
I said some things to her,
some things that I-- I regret.
>> Billy: How do you do that?
How do you take
your frustrations out on her?
In-- in this situation, you know
how much she's hurting.
Adam, you know her history.
You know how vulnerable she is.
>> Adam: I know, and I'm not
proud of losing it the way
that I did, and I have
apologized repeatedly since
I've been back.
But yes, it did create
a rift between us.
>> Billy: I could strangle
you right now.
But instead, I will say
thank you for being honest
with me.
>> Adam: What Chelsea and I are
going through is torture,
the fear, and the devastation.
>> Billy: And believe me,
I understand the heightened
emotions when a child is
involved.
Look, when Delia died,
it drove Victoria and me apart.
We didn't lean on each other
like we should have, and I will
regret that for the rest of
my life.
But I am doing everything I can
to make sure that that doesn't
happen again.
Don't go down that road.
You're lucky to have Sally
in your life.
And you're gonna need
all the support you can get.
[ both panting ]
>> Sally: Adam?
What is it, Adam?
What's wrong?
[ Chelsea breathing heavily ]
