[ knocking on door ]
>> Claire: Look at you
in this big corner office.
>> Victoria: It's
your grandfather's.
>> Claire: I know,
but I can feel your power.
You look like you belong.
>> Victoria: Well, I do have to
admit, I'm--
I'm in my element here.
You know this is not the first
time I've been charged with
running Newman Enterprises,
don't you?
>> Claire: But I bet it'll be
the last.
I mean, that I think that along
with Uncle Nick, you two will
bring the company to
new heights.
>> Victoria: This is one
of my favorites.
I have one in my own office,
and I thought your grandfather
would like one in his.
>> Claire: I know a lot of
people say that it's all about
family, but with the Newmans,
it's not just talk, is it?
>> Victoria: Well, even when
I'm working, I want to remind
myself of what matters the most.
So, what are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be on a plane
to Paris?
Is your flight delayed?
>> Claire: My flight, along with
Harrison's, is canceled.
Summer got a court order to
keep Kyle from taking their son
out of the country.
>> Kyle: “Au revoir, Papa."
Yes, I know that means
"goodbye" in French.
I just didn't realize you'd
become so fluent.
Maybe you can teach me some
more when I'm back.
I love you too.
>> Audra: The car to take us
to the airport is on its way.
Is your nanny
bringing your son?
>> Kyle: Claire and Harrison
aren't coming anymore.
Last minute change of plans.
>> Audra: You okay with that?
>> Kyle: It is what it is.
>> Audra: Well, you know,
it's probably for the best.
We'll get more work done
without having you run up and
down Champs-Élysées looking for
a cafe with a children's menu.
>> Kyle: You don't have to worry
about me being focused.
>> Diane: So, are you two
taking a trip?
♪♪
>> Billy: It really is amazing
news that Connor's coming home.
>> Sally: It is.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
So, we have a lot to do
to get ready.
>> Billy: I totally
understand that.
Sally and I just want you to
know that we are here to
support you in any way that
we can, which is why I feel like
it's important that we sit down
and clear up whatever this is
before you head back
to Baltimore.
>> Adam: What is it exactly that
you think needs
to be cleared up?
>> Billy: Let's sit down.
We'll have a coffee.
Figure out what that is.
>> Billy: We all know that you
have a flight to catch right
now, so we'll get straight
to the point.
Uh, Sally and I sense that
there's more going on here.
More something that you're
not telling us.
>> Adam: Okay, wait a minute.
You speak for Sally now?
>> Sally: Adam, it's not
like that.
>> Billy: No, it's not.
Look, I hope that you can
understand that my heart's
coming from the right place
here, but, you know, sometimes
my mouth gets me in trouble.
I don't want you to feel like
you're burdening us with what's
going on with Connor, okay?
And I understand that this is
difficult and I don't want to
put you on the spot.
>> Adam: And yet, that is
exactly what you're
doing, Billy.
>> Chelsea: I don't think
Billy's trying to fight.
>> Billy: No, I'm not trying
to fight. I don't want to fight
with either one of you.
Although, I do feel like I'm
fighting to understand what's
really going on here and I feel
like there's a void and I'm
filling that void with paranoid
thoughts, like maybe I did
something wrong.
>> Adam: Well, I don't
understand what that void is.
I already told you what was
going on.
I blew up at Chelsea and I said
some things, some things that
weren't entirely true.
I mean, I already told
Sally this.
>> Sally: Yeah, you did.
But I admit that I was
surprised that Chelsea didn't
mention anything when we talked.
>> Adam: Oh, she was probably
just trying to protect me.
She probably didn't want you to
know how horrible I had
been to her.
>> Billy: Because you two had
a fight, right?
>> Adam: Well, no, it wasn't
much of a fight. It was all me.
Chelsea did nothing wrong.
I mean, I was upset about what
was going on with Connor
and I-- I lashed out.
>> Claire: Seems like things
between Kyle and Summer have
gotten very ugly, very fast.
>> Victoria: Well, I totally get
how parents can lose control
and let their emotions cloud
their judgment
when they get caught up in
fighting for their kids, but
look, I can't judge.
I've certainly been there
and done that.
>> Claire: I've tried to help.
I've tried to get Kyle to see
that going against Summer's
wishes isn't the best choice.
And I've tried to get Summer to
see that I respect her feelings
as a mom.
>> Victoria: Oh, honey, no.
This is not about you.
>> Claire: Summer seems
to think so.
>> Victoria: Well, Summer is
lashing out,
and she needs to stop.
I'm going to call her,
actually.
>> Claire: No, no.
Mom, I'm fine.
The last thing I want is for you
to give Summer a hard time
right now, especially
on my behalf.
>> Victoria: All right.
I'm sorry.
I know that you can handle it.
I just--
I guess my mama bear
was coming out a little bit.
>> Claire: Which is why I can
understand Summer being
overprotective of Harrison.
He suffered trauma because of
Jordan like I did.
>> Victoria: You sit down
for a minute.
Just-- just sit.
You know, you and I, we haven't
really talked that much about
your life before you came back
to us.
>> Claire: I'm working through
all that in therapy.
>> Victoria: I know.
I know you are and I'm--
I'm really glad about that.
But I can only imagine how
difficult it must have been
for you.
And, I mean, it must have been
a nightmare.
So, if you ever feel like you
need to talk about it...
>> Claire: You'll probably be
the first person I come to.
>> Victoria: I know Jordan tried
to dictate what you thought
and how you felt,
but she's gone now.
And your life is your own.
It's okay to be sad
or angry or both.
Truly. And I don't want you to
try to protect me from--
from seeing you in pain.
>> Claire: I don't like being
caught in the middle between
Summer and Kyle.
>> Victoria: I understand.
>> Claire: And I'm really
disappointed for Harrison.
He was so looking forward to
going to Paris, and it's just...
seeing him be so good-natured
about having to stay here in
Genoa City.
>> Victoria: Harrison isn't
really the only one who's
hiding his disappointment,
is he?
>> Claire: I'd gotten really
excited about going, too.
There's this...
This big old carousel.
>> Victoria: Oh, yes.
Um, Is it the one in Montmartre?
>> Claire: You've been there?
>> Victoria: I have seen it,
but I've never ridden it.
>> Claire: It has two levels and
the most beautiful
painted horses.
>> Victoria: You wanted to take
Harrison to ride it, didn't you?
>> Claire: I did.
>> Victoria: Well, what?
What is it? Talk to me.
>> Claire: I really wanted
to ride it myself.
Even though I'm pretty sure
it's just for kids.
>> Victoria: No!
No, sweetheart, no.
You missed out on so much
growing up.
So, if you want to spend the
rest of your life doing kid
things, then do those things.
You ride those painted ponies
if that's what you want,
whatever makes you happy.
>> Claire: Thank you.
>> Victoria: You don't need
my permission or anyone else's
for anything.
Just do.
>> Claire: What if I'm afraid?
>> Victoria: Afraid of what?
>> Claire: Maybe just...
doing things because
they make me happy.
Oh, don't answer that.
You already told me.
Qui vivre verra.
>> Victoria: She who lives
will see.
>> Claire: And I might make it
to Paris before you and I get
a chance to go, but...
if I don't...
will you ride the carousel
with me?
>> Victoria: Oh, you know
I will.
>> Claire: I doubt Kyle's going
to have very much time for fun
while he's there with Audra.
>> Victoria: Well, maybe Kyle
could use a little time.
You know, just some space for
him and Summer
to cool down a bit.
>> Claire: That's not something
I see happening.
Summer seems pretty determined
to get sole custody of
their son and...
I'm starting to see that Kyle
is not the kind of person to
back down from a fight.
>> Audra: As a matter of fact--
>> Kyle: You know, I don't see
how it's any of your business
what Audra or I do.
>> Diane: Oh, I'm sorry.
It was probably just wishful
thinking on my part.
I was hoping that Audra had
finally realized that it was
time to go and that she was
leaving town.
>> Audra: Hm. No such luck.
>> Kyle: You know, you can play
a lot of things, Mother.
Innocent isn't one of them.
I spoke with Harrison,
so I know.
He told you we were going to
Paris today.
>> Diane: Oh, that's right.
You promised him a trip
and now he's disappointed.
Believe you me,
we heard all about it.
>> Kyle: Again,
none of your business.
>> Audra: Kyle, you can't blame
her for being curious about
our trip to Paris.
I'm sure your parents both know
this is about Glissade.
>> Kyle: Right, right.
She's just fishing for our plans
to cut into
Jabot's market share.
>> Jack: Much as I'd like
to continue this lovely chat,
we are here for some lunch
and it sounds like the two of
you have a plane to catch.
>> Kyle: Enjoy your meal.
It won't be long before Glissade
is eating Jabot's lunch.
>> Diane: Is that so?
>> Kyle: I can tell
you're both scared.
You see Glissade as a threat,
and it's only a matter of time--
>> Jack: Okay, that's--
that's enough, Kyle.
>> Claire: Well, I'm sure
you have a lot of work
to do, so.
>> Victoria: I always have time
for you.
In fact, um,
why don't we grab lunch?
There's this new French place
that I know about.
>> Claire: The one on the corner
of 10th and Washington?
It's not open yet.
It's soon, I think.
>> Cole: My two favorite ladies
in the same spot.
>> Victoria: Hi, Cole.
This is a nice surprise.
>> Claire: Is it, really?
A surprise, I mean.
Wherever Mom goes,
you usually follow.
>> Cole: Well, can you blame me?
I'm the moth to her flame.
>> Claire: Even tracking
her down on her first day back
at the office. It's impressive.
>> Cole: Yeah, it's true,
it's true.
I ventured into the belly of
the beast.
Any trip down the halls of
Newman Enterprises is not for
the faint of heart.
>> Claire: Yet here you are.
>> Cole: Here I am.
Actually, I was wondering
if I could drag you from
the perils of the corporate
intrigue and you could have
a boring lunch with me.
>> Victoria: Actually, Claire
and I were just about to
grab a bite.
>> Cole: Oh, okay.
Well, then I'll just tag along
with you two, then.
Hey, listen, I thought you were
with Harrison today.
>> Claire: Summer took the rest
of the day off, so that means
I get the rest of
the day off, too.
>> Cole: Huh. Okay.
>> Claire: I have a feeling
that's going to start happening
a lot more now that Kyle's on
his way to Paris with Audra.
>> Cole: Really?
>> Victoria: The good news is
is that our daughter is
available to join us.
So, shall we?
>> Claire: Yeah.
>> Cole: After you.
>> Kyle: Looks like
I struck a nerve.
>> Jack: You're damn right
you did.
I have tried to avoid stooping
to your level.
I have tried to ignore your
relentless hubris and gloating.
He's not doing you
any favors, sweetheart.
He knows what a powerhouse
Jabot is.
If he's been telling you this
little startup of yours even
has a chance of competing, he's
telling you a pack of lies.
>> Audra: Yeah, well,
I believe that--
>> Jack: You believe
what, exactly?
Either the two of you are in
denial or you've been sniffing
too much of that cheap
aftershave one of those little
companies you overpaid for
is making.
You have seriously
underestimated what it takes to
get a piece of the pie
in the cosmetics sector.
You will be lucky if you walk
away with Jabot's crumbs.
>> Kyle: Oh, I don't work for
Jabot anymore, Dad.
I'm glad you fired me.
If I was still stuck there,
I wouldn't get a chance to show
you and everyone else just how
much you have
underestimated me.
>> Jack: Oh, I have clearly
overestimated the amount of
respect I thought I had
instilled in you as an Abbott.
I raised you better than this.
This company you disparage,
this company that my father
built, has been decades
in the making.
My father built the highest
standards of excellence and
product safety
and financial security.
We have met those standards
year after year for more years
than the two of you have
collectively been alive.
You want to best Jabot?
Knock yourselves out.
I'm afraid the crash from
your failure is going
to be resounding.
But maybe that's what it will
take to bring you back
to your senses.
Or maybe I'm the one in denial
about that.
Enjoy your flight.
>> Adam: So, are we clear now?
Okay, this is all on me.
And you know what?
I owe all three of you an
apology for being so selfish.
So, I hope that you will accept
it and we can just move on.
>> Billy: Look.
I know this isn't easy, right?
And you have to go, but I think
that there's more
to talk about here.
>> Chelsea: I think, why don't
you and I just go talk?
>> Billy: Well, because I think
it's better we talk together.
Because I've talked to you and
I've talked to him and I've
talked to Sally all separately.
>> Adam: What-- what did
the two of you talk about?
>> Sally: Just how we can
support you and Chelsea better.
>> Billy: We wanna be there
for you--
>> Adam: Well, this,
whatever this is,
this doesn't feel supportive.
>> Billy: I want to help you
help Connor, okay?
That's the most important thing,
but I can't do that if
I'm left in the dark.
>> Chelsea: I-- I'm just
a little confused.
Why did you feel the need to go
question Adam?
>> Billy: Because I love you,
Chelsea.
And I'm concerned because you
have not been yourself since
you got back from Baltimore.
>> Chelsea: So, you went behind
my back to grill Adam?
>> Billy: No, I tried to talk to
you about it, but you didn't
really want to do that,
although I felt that there was
something you wanted to share,
but then you shut down.
So, my instinct told me that
Adam had something to do with
that, and my instinct
was right.
>> Adam: I mean, how many times
do I have to tell you that I was
a jerk to make you happy, Billy?
>> Billy: See, but that's it
right there, right?
That tells me that there's
something more going on because
the fact that Chelsea could
tell me that you two had a fight
and an argument, she
already knows that I don't
think very highly of you.
>> Adam: Well, that is very rude
because I think
the world of you, Billy.
>> Billy: I know you don't
like me.
You know I'm not stupid.
And I'm picking up on the little
looks between the two of you.
>> Chelsea: What?
>> Adam: What? What looks are
you talking about?
>> Billy: It's happened like
three or four times since you've
been sitting here.
It's almost like you're
checking in with each other to
make sure that the story's
on track.
[ Chelsea scoffing ]
>> Adam: No, I'm not.
>> Sally: Okay, Billy's right.
Billy's right.
I was ready to let this go,
Adam, after you told me that
you went off on Chelsea,
but I do feel like...
>> Billy: Something happened.
>> Sally: Yeah.
>> Billy: Something you're not
telling me.
>> Chelsea: What do you want us
to admit?
What exactly is it you want us
to confess?
[ Chelsea exhaling ]
>> Billy: I'm sorry.
I don't want to come
across accusatory.
I just want you both to know
that you don't have to be
afraid to be honest with me.
>> Sally: Or with me.
>> Billy: I know you're scared,
Chelsea. I can tell.
>> Chelsea: Of course,
I'm scared, Billy.
I'm terrified.
My son is finally coming home.
>> Adam: And that's good news.
That Connor is getting better.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
It's all I've been waiting for.
It's the best news.
But, you know, I'm scared
I'm going to make a mistake.
I'm going to do something wrong
and it's going to hurt him.
>> Billy: I understand that,
and thank you for sharing that.
I'm just trying to understand
the emotion behind it,
you know? Like...
I mean, did Connor hurt himself
again the last time
you were in Baltimore?
>> Adam: No.
>> Billy: Did the fear and--
and the guilt make you
say something or do something
that you now feel ashamed of?
>> Chelsea: Why are you--
why are you forcing this?
Using Connor to create these--
these wild speculations.
Please leave him out of this.
>> Billy: Chelsea, I'm just--
>> Chelsea: I told you what
was wrong, Billy.
I'm scared.
For my little boy. Does it have
to be more than that?
Isn't that enough?
God, excuse me.
Adam, we've got to go.
We've got to pick up our son.
>> Cole: Ah, so...
I get a sense that the two of
you may be keeping something
from me.
>> Claire: No, it's nothing.
>> Cole: All right, well,
if it's nothing, that's okay.
But if it's something,
I'd like to know.
>> Victoria: Your dad and I are
both here for you.
>> Claire: It's just a little
bit of drama
at the Abbott house.
>> Cole: Ah, what kind of drama?
>> Victoria: Summer has filed
for sole custody and there are
now lawyers involved.
>> Cole: Ah, that's rough.
So-- so, are you saying that the
trip to France is off?
>> Claire: It is.
>> Victoria: She really wanted
to go to Paris.
>> Claire: But I'll get there.
>> Cole: Honey, I know that
you really care about that kid
and that you're worried
about him.
>> Claire: Yeah, Harrison's
my little buddy.
>> Cole: Yeah, well,
your commitment is so admirable.
But I've wondered, um,
if maybe you should take
a step back.
You don't want to get caught in
the middle of two parents
fighting over their kid.
>> Claire: May be
too late for that.
>> Cole: Well, I realize
that you love working with kids.
But maybe you could find
another opportunity to work
with them.
>> Victoria: She loves being
Harrison's nanny.
>> Cole: I know.
You've talked about getting
your masters in
childhood education.
Early childhood education.
>> Claire: Yeah, I did.
>> Cole: And I have a lot of
contacts in academia.
And I'm sure that I can find
someone for you to talk to
to help you make a plan
because you are smart
and you're talented,
so you have choices.
And um, you don't have to stay
in a situation that makes
you uncomfortable.
>> Claire: I'm just not sure
I'm ready for all that yet.
>> Cole: Well, that's up
for you to decide.
This is your life.
And I want you to know that
your mom and I are here to help
you live it the way
that you want to.
>> Diane: What happened to
the plan of letting go?
Not engaging with Kyle?
>> Jack: I definitely thought
that was the right plan.
But when he went off like this
on Jabot, I---
Everyone has their limit.
>> Diane: Yes, and I reached
mine a while ago.
But after our talk, I was
counting on you to be
the calmer parent.
The one who could bring
our family back together.
>> Jack: There's nothing
I want more.
But indulging him at your
expense and his has gone on
for far too long. He's made some
serious mistakes.
>> Diane: Well, I'm convinced
more than ever that I've made
a very big mistake.
>> Jack: Meaning what?
>> Diane: I walked away from
Kyle once. And now,
he's walked away from me.
Jack, the whole reason I came
back to Genoa City was to be
with my son.
And you know how much I love
my job. I-- I do.
But seeing Kyle like this?
I'm sorry, but losing him again
is too high a price to pay for
being in charge at Jabot.
>> Jack: It is far too late in
all of this to re-examine that.
I first saw this entitled
attitude when I was trying to
replace Billy as my co-CEO.
You know, that's why I didn't
hire Kyle back then, and boy,
am I damn glad I didn't.
>> Diane: So, you've gone from
letting go to what?
Tough love?
>> Jack: I'm not going to
walk on eggshells anymore.
No, I'm not going to endure
my son, my grown son,
acting like
a spoiled entitled brat.
>> Diane: Well, I guess Kyle
needed to be
put in his place.
>> Jack: Well, sadly, I don't
think he'll stay there for long.
>> Audra: Our car's here.
Kyle?
>> Kyle: Yeah,
I just need a minute.
>> Audra: What your father said,
you need to let it go.
>> Kyle: Not a chance.
>> Adam: So, is this
interrogation over?
>> Billy: For once, Adam,
try not to make something worse.
[ Adam sighing ]
>> Adam: Well, apparently
that's your job.
Do you think being a bigger
jerk to Chelsea than I was is
going to make things better?
>> Billy: I was trying to get
some answers.
>> Adam: Yeah, to made up
problems.
Okay, this isn't about you.
This isn't about calming
your nerves or dealing with
your anxiety or your paranoia.
This is about Connor.
>> Billy: For once, we agree.
>> Adam: Good.
>> Billy: Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Billy. I really
can't do this right now.
>> Billy: Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I just, I just want to help.
I just want you to know
that I'm here for you.
>> Chelsea: You always are.
>> Billy: Given our history,
I just hope that you can trust
that, you know, you can be
honest with me about anything.
>> Chelsea: You know Adam is not
going to respond well
if he feels cornered.
>> Billy: Come on. Adam is not
going to respond well
to anything I do or say.
Maybe I got this wrong.
Maybe Sally should talk to Adam
and I talk to you.
>> Chelsea: What do you want me
to say?
>> Billy: I just want you
to know that I'm here for you.
You can lean on me.
And you can tell me anything.
>> Adam: Can you believe
that guy?
He says he's on our side.
He acts all gentle
and considerate and he just
steamrolls everyone's emotions.
>> Sally: He just wants to help
Adam, just like I do.
>> Adam: I can't believe that
he dragged you into
his paranoia.
>> Sally: Well, maybe it's not
paranoia.
>> Adam: You're right.
Maybe it's not.
Maybe Billy's going out of his
way to create problems for me.
>> Claire: I've got
to figure out a lot of these
things on my own.
>> Cole: You do.
>> Victoria: But we're here
to listen and help if we can.
>> Claire: Well, I never had
that with Jordan.
Choices or thoughts about
what to do next.
She just decided it all.
>> Cole: So, this thing with
Harrison is really hard for you?
>> Claire: Yeah.
I connected with that kid
the second I met him
and he won me over before
Jordan took us both.
But now since that happened,
I feel a real sense of
responsibility for him.
Kyle keeps saying
part of the reason he wants me
as Harrison's caregiver is
because Harrison needs to see
that I'm okay.
But, yeah, that goes both ways.
>> Victoria: You need to know
that he's okay too.
>> Claire: That picture of me
that you brought to the office,
that was taken on a day where
I didn't feel scared that
my life was going to hell.
I didn't blame myself
for everything that was bad.
It was a day where I didn't
question if I was good enough
to be loved.
I just,
I want more of those days.
For me and for Harrison.
I just want both of his parents
to be there for him the way
that both of you
are here for me.
>> Cole: Well, Summer and Kyle,
they're going to work things out
eventually. It's not going
to be perfect though.
>> Victoria: It never is.
We can not protect our children
from everything in the world,
but we can certainly try.
>> Cole: Yeah, yeah.
And for whatever
reason we can't do that,
we can try to make it better.
>> Claire: Yeah, maybe I can
do that for Harrison by being
there for Kyle as his friend.
Just helping him through
his pain and his anger.
>> Kyle: You know, you always
have to have the last word,
but I'm not done.
>> Diane: Kyle!
>> Jack: Now let him say
what he came to say.
>> Kyle: I am putting you both
on notice. Mom, Dad,
your company's days
are numbered. Jabot is a bloated
dinosaur and Glissade will
render it extinct.
>> Jack: Your arrogant
disrespect for the family
and the company that taught you
everything you know
is astounding.
>> Kyle: No, no, no. I am tired
of hearing about family
and respect when the two of you
didn't give a damn about
tossing me to the curb
when I was trying to breathe
fresh life into that company.
So yeah, cling to your past.
Cling to your old guard ways
because in the next year,
Jabot will be a has-been while
Glissade will be the future.
Maybe then you will give me
the respect and recognition
I deserve.
>> Sally: Look, I know that
you and Billy don't get along,
but I think he genuinely wants
to support you.
For Chelsea and Connor's sake.
>> Adam: Or he's just taking
the opportunity to punish me
for what I've done.
>> Sally: What did you do?
>> Adam: I got upset
with Chelsea. I mean,
I already told you that.
I don't think you realize
how much Billy hates me.
>> Sally: Billy is protective of
Chelsea just like I am of you.
He's known Chelsea
for a long time.
He basically saved her life.
So, it makes sense if he's
especially attuned to her
if something feels off.
Do you think that she's holding
something back?
>> Adam: No, I-- I don't.
>> Sally: I mean from all of us.
Because the way she reacted
just now makes it seem like
Billy might be right.
>> Adam: Look, I don't know
why we're doing this now.
Chelsea has the right to be
upset for getting
the third degree.
I mean, what do the two of you
want from us?
>> Sally: Adam, I'm just trying
to figure out what's going on.
>> Adam: I mean, Connor is ready
to come home.
Do you not understand
how important that is for us?
That is the only thing
that matters right now.
>> Sally: Yeah, no,
you're right.
Connor comes first.
So whatever this is, if
anything at all, it can wait.
Billy shouldn't have
forced the issue.
>> Adam: Yeah, he damn well
shouldn't have forced the issue.
>> Sally: Well, I'm sorry
if I played a part in adding
to your stress.
Because I know this is a happy
moment, bringing Connor home.
>> Adam: Look.
I-- I don't mean
to take my anger out on Billy
at you.
Okay, thank you
for understanding.
For everything.
>> Chelsea: I know
you're trying to help.
The way you always do.
>> Billy: I am.
>> Chelsea: And I can't tell you
how much I love you for that.
And I promise, I'll tell you
about all the things I'm going
through when I'm back
from getting my son home.
>> Billy: Okay.
Look, I am really happy
and grateful that Connor is
coming home.
>> Chelsea: Yeah. I mean,
we never thought we'd make it
to this point.
>> Billy: You said you were
scared earlier.
>> Chelsea: Well, you know,
his recovery is not guaranteed.
It's a step in the right
direction on a very long road.
>> Billy:It's definitely that.
It's a step in
the right direction.
But there's, you know, still
an emotional weight to it all.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Billy: Which is why I wanted
to talk to you before
you headed back to Baltimore.
I didn't want Baltimore to be
a trigger, you know?
I just want to make sure
you know that I'm here for you.
>> Chelsea: We will.
We will talk. Trust me.
I want to put all the fear,
guilt and mistakes behind me.
>> Adam: Chelsea, you ready?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
I'm ready.
>> Adam: I will call you
when we land?
>> Sally: Yeah.
>> Chelsea: Bye.
>> Billy: Bye.
>> Sally: You really shouldn't
have pushed this.
>> Billy: I don't know if you're
right about that.
[ Chelsea exhaling ]
>> Adam: The jet's ready.
Well, I think that we handled
that as well as could
be expected.
>> Chelsea: You can't possibly
believe that.
>> Adam: Look, I know that
I should have clued you
in about my cover story.
That I got upset with you.
>> Chelsea: You think?
Being blindsided like that?
>> Adam: I got caught up,
okay? With the good news
about Connor.
>> Chelsea: This is the last
thing our son needs to be
coming home to.
>> Adam: What does that mean?
>> Chelsea: I am on the verge of
a nervous breakdown, Adam.
And so are you, whether you
want to believe it or not.
The lies, the cover stories.
I mean, it's-- it's not what
we need to be dealing with
right now.
>> Adam: We will figure it out.
Once Connor gets home.
>> Chelsea: How do we keep
our son safe
when we're walking around
terrified that our secret's
going to come out?
>> Jack: Now, I have lost
my appetite.
>> Diane: Yeah, I can't believe
how Kyle's behaving.
It's outrageous.
>> Jack: Kyle actually thinks
they can take on Jabot.
That little ragtag collection
of second-rate
cosmetics companies.
It's laughable.
>> Diane: Well, it is.
But it's still unnerving.
I mean, he's all ego. Rage.
>> Jack: No, he doesn't believe
half of what he just said.
Most of that's bluster.
>> Diane: Yeah, but that doesn't
make it sting any less.
You know, Kyle was right
about one thing.
I'm scared.
>> Jack: You honestly think Kyle
and Audra are some threat
to Jabot?
>> Diane: No, of course not.
But this isn't about whether
or not Kyle runs Glissade
into the ground.
What I'm worried about is,
what is this doing to our
relationship with our son?
And I honestly don't see
how we're going to come back
from this.
>> Jack: He does seem determined
to burn any and every bridge
between us.
>> Diane: Jack, how far will
he go to try and prove
some point to us?
And at what cost?
[ Jack exhaling ]
>> Audra: You know, I heard you
back there.
Probably along with everyone
else in the restaurant.
>> Kyle: What's your point?
>> Audra: That you may be
pushing this vendetta against
your parents a little too far.
>> Kyle: I just want to see
Glissade come out on top.
Same as you.
>> Audra: I don't think
our motivations are the same
at all.
No matter how it seems, I'm not
using our company to hurt
someone in my personal life.
>> Kyle: I wonder if
Tucker McCall would agree.
>> Audra: Making Glissade
a success has nothing to do
with Tucker.
I'm doing this for myself.
And I don't have to prove
myself to anyone.
>> Kyle: Mm. Except me.
And Victor.
>> Audra: Just Victor.
And we were talking about you
and how you keep taunting
your father.
Who also happens to be
our chief rival.
>> Kyle: Mm. Don't tell me
you're scared of
the competition.
>> Audra: Never.
I just know when to attack.
And it's when we're in
a position of strength.
At this point in time,
if Jack wanted to, he could use
Jabot to crush us.
>> Kyle: Yeah, my father won't
do anything.
There's lines he won't cross.
Especially when it comes
to family.
I don't have those limitations.
>> Audra: Yeah, I'm starting
to see that.
Just don't let your
big emotions get in the way of
our big plans.
>> Kyle: No, don't worry.
I'm in control.
>> Sally: Well, it's totally
understandable why Adam
and Chelsea didn't want to have
the heart-to-heart you were
hoping for.
All they're thinking about is
bringing Connor home.
>> Billy: I really am happy
for them.
I'm happy that Connor's
coming home.
And yes, maybe I could have
given them that moment.
That happy moment.
Because they've had a lot of
hard ones lately, but I just
wanted to try and help Chelsea.
>> Sally: I am probably going
to regret this, but you seem
even more worried than
you were before.
>> Billy: It's something Chelsea
said right before
she walked out.
>> Sally: About Adam?
>> Billy: It wasn't about Adam.
She said she wants to leave
her fear, guilt,
and mistakes behind.
>> Sally: Guilt and mistakes
about Connor?
>> Billy: Maybe.
>> Adam: We have this
under control.
>> Chelsea: Adam, nothing about
this is under control.
I just blurted out to Billy
how I need to put all the guilt
and mistakes behind me.
>> Adam: Well, he probably
thought you were just talking
about Connor.
>> Chelsea: No, he knew
I was talking about me.
I could see by the look
in his eyes when I said it.
>> Adam: Well, what did he say?
>> Chelsea: He didn't--
he didn't say anything,
but it confirmed to him that
he's right to think that
something is wrong.
>> Adam: Look, you were just
anxious about seeing Connor.
Billy has no idea what we did,
okay?
>> Chelsea: Maybe.
But he knows something's up.
And I know him.
He's not going to let this go.
>> Adam: Connor's coming home.
We need to focus on that.
We agreed our secret
can never come out.
Not just for our sake,
but for our son's sake.
>> Chelsea: I know.
>> Adam: I mean, my God,
it was one night, Chelsea.
Sally and Billy can never know
that we cheated on them.
I need to know that we agree
on this.
Can I count on you, Chelsea?
