>> Victor: This is very good.
>> Nikki: Oh, good.
>> Victor: You know,
I just heard that
Lily Winters is staying on
at Chancellor.
>> Nikki: Oh,
so she chose not to join
her brother at Winters.
>> Victor: I don't think
Devon likes it,
but his loss could be our gain.
>> Nikki: Well, you said that
you thought Lily should stay
at Chancellor,
and I agree with you.
>> Victor: I'm glad you do.
>> Nikki: I mean,
she knows the company,
she knows its culture and
she's taken it to new heights.
>> Victor: Yep.
>> Nikki: But since this
takeover is going to be
a hostile one,
I don't know if she's going to
want to stick around.
And I don't want to see her
get hurt.
>> Victor: Well, I think
we can prevent that
from happening.
>> Nikki: How?
>> Victor: Well,
I'm making sure that Lily
does not get caught up
in Billy Abbott's
inevitable downward spiral.
>> Billy: Can I get a scotch
neat, please?
>> Nikki: Well, it seems
the spiraling has already begun.
♪♪
>> Faith: Oh, and
two muffins, please.
>> Lucy: Hey, Faith. What's up?
>> Faith: Oh. Hi, Lucy.
Um, I'm just grabbing
some drinks for me and my mom.
>> Lucy: Oh, is that
a iced caramel cold brew?
>> Faith: Yeah, it's my go-to
caffeine on hot days.
>> Lucy: Mine too.
Great minds think alike.
>> Faith: Um, yeah, I guess so.
>> Lucy: You probably didn't see
my text about the pool party
the other night.
I don't want to hold you up,
but I'm dying to know
what I missed.
>> Mariah: Hey.
You're a little bit less
excited to see me
than I would like.
>> Tessa: Oh, I thought when
you called me to the park,
there would be some kind of
romantic surprise.
I even brought my squid hat.
>> Mariah: I'm so sorry.
I do owe you a romantic gesture
of some kind.
Although, I don't know what
could top your horror movie
themed anniversary dates.
But what I'm dealing with
right now
is a lot scarier than
any horror movie.
>> Cameron: Hi, beautiful.
I know it's been a while, so
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance
to get cleaned up since,
you know, you killed me.
>> Sharon: I know
you're not real.
>> Cameron: That's right.
When I was alive,
I just wanted to be
in your heart.
But now that I'm dead, well,
I guess I'll just have to settle
for being in your head.
>> Mariah: So, my mom stopped
taking her meds.
And it is really messing
with her head.
>> Tessa: Oof, okay.
I mean, I knew she was
struggling to find the right
balance, but she stopped taking
them completely?
I'm sorry, babe.
>> Mariah: We had this
sort of impromptu
mini-intervention, I guess.
It was me, Faith, and Nick.
But she agreed that she needs
to start taking better care
of herself.
And so,
she's gonna take some time off.
>> Tessa: From work?
>> Mariah: From life.
At least, her life here
in Genoa City.
And so, she's gonna go away to
get some rest.
>> Tessa: Okay, that's--
that's big.
But, it sounds positive, right?
I mean, she could have
stonewalled you.
Insisted nothing was wrong,
which is kind of what
she's been doing.
>> Mariah: That's true.
>> Tessa: But yeah, wow, that--
that's scary.
>> Mariah: And while she's gone,
I'm going to take over
at Cassidy First.
>> Tessa: Oh, wow.
Okay, that's a big commitment.
But, I'm sure
you're gonna kill it.
And I know that it'll bring her
peace, knowing that you're
gonna cover for her.
You know, I want to do
something for your mom.
She's been so wonderful to me.
>> Mariah: My mom loves you.
>> Tessa: I have an idea.
Why don't we go over there
and visit?
We'll bring Aria.
She started calling her "meh ma"
and I'm sure that will lift
her spirits.
>> Mariah: I'm sure it would.
I just...
I don't really think that's
a good idea.
>> Tessa: Why?
>> Mariah: I think I've been
making things harder for my mom.
>> Tessa: How can that be?
>> Mariah: Because every time
she sees me,
she's reminded of Cassie.
And the life that she never got
to live.
>> Sharon: I know you're just
in my head.
I want you to get the hell out!
>> Cameron: I was hoping for
a little nicer greeting
than that.
I mean, Nick got
a hell of a kiss.
Where's mine?
What, are you gonna hit me
with that thing?
Like you did with that
champagne bottle?
[ knocking on door ]
>> Cameron: Yeah,
maybe that's Faith.
I bet you little girl's grown
since last time I saw her.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Sharon: Daniel.
>> Daniel: Hey, um,
sorry for just showing up
on your doorstep like this.
>> Sharon: You're really here.
>> Daniel: Yeah. Uh, I know
I'm probably the last person
you want to see right now.
>> Lucy: You know, my dad still
kind of treats me like
I'm a little kid.
He's really overprotective, so,
you know, it's probably good
I didn't go to the party.
>> Faith: Oh, it wasn't that
kind of party.
It isn't like anyone went crazy
or anything.
It was just a bunch of kids
swimming and taking selfies for
their socials.
>> Lucy: You know, I, um,
I hope I didn't put you
on the spot too much by
asking to tag along.
>> Faith: No, not at all.
And I'm sorry I had to
uninvite you.
It wasn't my party.
And like I said,
it was a college crowd.
I promise, you really didn't
miss much, though.
I bet you would have been bored.
>> Lucy: I-- I doubt that.
My life's pretty basic.
>> Faith: Well, I should get
these drinks to my mom.
>> Lucy: Um, you know,
what are you doing tonight?
>> Faith: Tonight?
>> Lucy: Yeah, this band that
I really love is playing
the festival at the arena
and, um, I have two wristbands.
My dad was going to come with
me, but his plans changed,
so he's out.
Maybe you would want
to go with me?
>> Billy: So, Victor,
I hear you think I'm going to
run Chancellor Industries
into the ground.
>> Victor: Of that, Billy boy,
I have no doubt.
>> Billy: And you,
being the vulture you are,
you're going to swoop in
and pick at the carcass,
is that right?
[ Victor chuckling ]
>> Victor: That's a very
colorful description of
your paranoia.
>> Billy: Thank you.
>> Victor: Now why the hell
do you think I'd clean up
your mess?
>> Billy: Well, I heard about
your conversation you had
with Devon.
He turned around and had
a conversation with
Lily about it.
>> Victor: I don't blame him.
He's very protective of Lily.
So are we.
>> Billy: Yeah, see, Lily thinks
that you're going to actually
look out for her, though.
Which we both know is a crock.
You're hellbent on sabotaging
Abbott-Chancellor,
is that right?
>> Victor: Abbott-Chancellor?
That's a terrible name,
isn't it?
>> Nikki: Awful.
>> Victor: My goodness.
Has a stench of failure,
doesn't it?
No wonder you feel the buzzards
circling above you.
>> Billy: What about you, Nikki?
Do you know about
his little plan?
Can't imagine you'd go along
with that.
>> Nikki: I have to say,
I don't think my dear friend,
Katherine, would be very pleased
with the state of her company.
>> Billy: Why is that?
>> Nikki: The failure of
the merger with Winters
was very public.
And now you are calling
attention to your company's
instability with yet
another name change?
Does Jack know about that?
>> Billy: I don't need
my brother's approval how
to run my own company.
>> Nikki: And to put your name
before Katherine's?
>> Billy: Which was out of
respect for my mother
and her legacy.
>> Nikki: But it is very
disrespectful to Katherine
and her wishes.
She purposely did not leave
her company to your mother.
>> Billy: So, it looks like
you're towing
the party line, huh?
Victor's got you drinking
the Kool-Aid again?
>> Nikki: Actually, it's
club soda with wine.
>> Victor: Has it occurred
to you by now
that we are having dinner here?
>> Billy: Mm-hmm.
>> Victor: Nikki is echoing what
I've told her,
which is the truth.
>> Billy: Oh, come on.
Victor Newman's truth?
It's always a bundle of lies
and hatred, isn't it?
>> Victor: The only one telling
lies right now is
you to yourself.
Devon thinks Abbott-Chancellor
is a ridiculous idea.
Certainly would be a very bad
choice for Lily
to work beside you.
>> Nikki: We will always
look out for Neil's children.
>> Billy: Hm.
So first,
it's Katherine Chancellor,
now it's Neil Winters.
I didn't realize you two were
the self-appointed guardians of
both their offspring
and their legacy.
>> Victor: Billy boy,
Nikki and I are good friends
of Katherine, okay?
We were very close to her.
And we'll be damned if we allow
Katherine Chancellor's legacy
to go down the drain
because of your hubris.
>> Faith: Um, I do have a thing
with my mom.
>> Lucy: Oh, okay.
Um, no, it's-- it's--
it's totally fine.
I don't know why I think you
wouldn't have plans.
You obviously have
way more friends than I do.
You pretty much know everyone
in this town.
I'll, um, I'll see you later.
>> Faith: Hey, Luce?
Why don't you tell me more
about that cool band?
>> Daniel: Are you okay?
>> Sharon: Um,
why do you ask?
>> Daniel: You just seem
a little rattled.
>> Sharon: Well, I wasn't
expecting your visit.
>> Daniel: Right, um, well,
I'm sorry again for showing up
on an-- I-- I can go
if this is a bad time.
>> Sharon: No, no, no,
that's not necessary.
Just, uh, stay. Please sit down.
Have a seat.
So...
what's on your mind?
>> Daniel: Did you know that,
um, our daughters
were becoming friends?
>> Sharon: Yeah, I'm aware that
the girls have bumped into
each other quite a lot lately.
And Lucy bought Faith
a bracelet recently, and, um,
it was very sweet.
>> Daniel: Faith has been
very kind to my kid
and I appreciate that.
But how do you feel about it?
>> Sharon: How do I feel about
Faith being kind to Lucy?
>> Daniel: This isn't
about Lucy.
It's about me.
I realize that I am not
your favorite person.
That right there might be
a gross understatement.
>> Sharon: How I feel about you
has nothing to do with
how I feel about Lucy.
She's her own person.
>> Daniel: She definitely is.
>> Sharon: And Faith is
an independent young woman.
She picks her own friends.
If she likes Lucy, then I bet
there is a lot there to like.
So, I trust her judgment.
>> Daniel: I know that
you've been missing Cassie
a lot recently.
>> Sharon: That's nothing new.
My daughter is always with me.
In my thoughts.
>> Daniel: No, no, I know.
I'm just-- The last time
we spoke about it, I--
I don't know, I thought
maybe it would be best if
I just tried to avoid you.
>> Sharon: Daniel, the accident
with Cassie was a long time ago.
>> Daniel: It was.
But it still feels fresh.
I mean, at least that's the
impression that I got when
we spoke last.
>> Sharon: What is it that
you want to say to me?
>> Daniel: Instead of trying
to avoid you,
or instead of trying to avoid
what I've been feeling about
Cassie, I-- I thought maybe
I should do the opposite.
>> Sharon: What does that mean?
>> Daniel: You know, I created,
um, this game, Princess Louisa.
I made it so I could try and
reconnect with my daughter.
What if I were able to make
a new game
to help you connect with yours?
>> Tessa: Mariah,
we've talked about this.
Your survivor's guilt over
the sister you never met.
>> Mariah: No, I know.
But this is so much more about
Sharon than it is about me.
She had such big dreams
for Cassie.
And everything that happens
in my life...
How can she not look at me and
think that those are things
that Cassie should have had too?
I mean, even having Aria.
How is it not a painful
reminder of the kids that
Cassie never got to have?
>> Tessa: Did you ever talk
to Sharon about this?
>> Mariah: Yes.
Yes. I mean,
I brought it up today.
How I'm a reminder of
the daughter that she lost.
>> Tessa: And what did
Sharon say?
>> Mariah: That she loves me
for me.
Which I do believe.
And how she doesn't need
a reminder of the loss because
she lives with it every day.
And I get that.
I do. I totally understand, but
she's been avoiding me lately.
>> Tessa: Probably because
she doesn't want to worry you.
You told me that she was
missing some meetings and
seemed a little out of it,
but this seems a lot more
serious than Sharon's
letting on.
>> Mariah: My mom is really
suffering, Tessa.
And I just don't know how to
help her when I don't know
what's going on in her head
right now.
>> Sharon: I'm not sure
I'm following you, Daniel.
You want to create a video game
to help me connect with Cassie?
>> Daniel: I don't know so much
connect, but maybe heal.
>> Sharon: You think a game will
help me process the grief
over the loss of my daughter?
>> Daniel: No. I'm-- I'm--
I'm sorry.
I would never presume how to
tell you how to feel
about Cassie.
Let me try this again. Um,
my idea is that the game could
help young people deal with
complicated feelings.
>> Sharon: Go on.
>> Daniel: I don't know if
you're aware about what we did
on Omega Sphere,
but some of the games,
they help people deal with some
pretty heavy feelings.
And we got a lot of reviews
from users saying how
it'd help them.
>> Sharon: Well, I am aware
of the game that
Chelsea created.
And um,
I have to admit,
what you did there is
pretty impressive.
>> Daniel: Um, I would really
love the opportunity to create
something in Cassie's memory.
I know that you're already
honoring her with Cassidy First,
so this could be a part of that.
Look, the whole idea is
a little sketchy in my head
and new, but I'm thinking maybe
something that students could
use in school.
>> Sharon: To promote
emotional intelligence.
>> Daniel: Yes, exactly.
And-- and look, if I'm being
inappropriate by bringing this
to you...
>> Sharon: No, no. I think
that, um, your offer, it's very
ambitious and um,
it's lovely.
>> Daniel: Well, I'm glad
you feel that way.
>> Sharon: You would have
to talk to Mariah about it
though because she's going to be
taking over Cassidy First
for a bit.
I'm going to take some time out
to just regroup.
>> Daniel: You know, I actually
saw Mariah and Nick, and Faith.
They were all talking about how
they were worried about you.
>> Sharon: So, that's why
you're really here.
>> Daniel: No, no, no.
I didn't come here to invade
your privacy or your space.
>> Sharon: No, yeah.
I'm sure you didn't.
>> Daniel: I just really hope
that our conversation about
Cassie's death isn't why
you're taking time off.
>> Sharon: Everyone seems to
think that they somehow
brought up Cassie's memory.
That grief has been living
with me every day.
I just haven't been handling it
that well lately.
Your offer is very gracious,
but it's not going to heal me
or stop me from having
these feelings.
And it's not going to stop you
from having them either.
>> Daniel: I know that.
>> Sharon: I'm afraid that
we'll both always,
always carry this pain
and feel this loss.
And yes, bear some of
the responsibility of
Cassie's death.
And we each need to find our
own way to deal with all that.
>> Billy: So, it's clear
you think you're the guardian
that's going to protect
Chancellor from me?
>> Victor: Too late for that,
Billy boy.
You know, your mother made
a mistake when she handed you
the controls
of Chancellor, as she was also
mistaken when she put you
in charge of ChancComm,
which was a failure.
Now, if you don't mind,
my wife and I would love to
enjoy our lunch, all right?
>> Billy: First of all,
don't talk about my mother.
Second of all,
the spectacular failure
is going to be you
if you make a move against
Abbott-Chancellor.
Enjoy your cold lunch.
>> Victor: You handled this
very well.
>> Nikki: Well, I only followed
your lead.
If Billy gets that upset because
you asked Devon to put some
doubt into Lily's mind,
I can only imagine how he will
react when he hears that
I'm the one taking his job.
>> Victor: I hope that
all of his prattling
doesn't change your mind.
>> Nikki: No, no, not at all.
But I am concerned about Johnny
and Katie.
You know, they're old enough
now to understand
what's happening.
>> Victor: I know. Victoria
expressed the same concern.
>> Nikki: And she is prepared
to handle any fallout from that
situation and I will
support her.
>> Victor: Good, my sweetheart.
Very well done.
Cheers.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Lily: Billy, hey.
Um, actually, I was going
to call you.
Jennifer in accounting called
and something I wanted
to run by you.
>> Billy: Whatever it is,
it's going to have to wait.
We got a party to plan.
>> Sharon: No,
it's just for one.
I'm getting away to recharge.
A week away in the desert is
exactly what I need.
You have my credit card
on file. Perfect.
Thank you.
When I spoke with my doctor,
he helped me commit to not
allowing these intrusive
thoughts to control my life.
I am in control.
When I open my eyes,
you will be gone.
[ Cameron scoffing ]
>> Cameron: Did you really think
you could get rid of me
that easily?
>> Lucy: And their drummer is
really cute, which is why
most people I know follow them,
but I really like their music.
They're kind of like a younger,
cooler version of
A Boy's Best Friend.
>> Faith: Wait, you know
A Boy's Best Friend?
>> Lucy: I've never seen them
live, but they're on, like,
all my playlists.
Do you know them?
>> Faith: I've been into them
since I was, like, your age.
>> Lucy: That's really cool.
>> Faith: You know what?
If the offer's still open,
I'll go with you.
>> Lucy: Really?
>> Faith: Sure. Why not?
If they're anything
like you say.
>> Lucy: Oh, you're going to
love them. Well, at least
I hope you do.
Wait, um, what about that thing
with your mom?
>> Faith: We can
do it tomorrow. She's
been a little tired lately.
I'm sure she'll be glad to just
have a night to chill at home.
>> Lucy: Are you sure I'm not
pushing myself on you like
I did with the pool party?
>> Faith: Why would you even
think that?
>> Lucy: I don't know.
Never mind. Forget
I even said anything.
This is really great.
>> Daniel: Hey.
What kind of trouble are you
two planning?
>> Faith: Lucy was just
telling me about the band that
she's seeing tonight.
>> Daniel: Yeah, well,
she hasn't stopped talking about
them since I got her
the tickets. Yeah,
the wristbands. I'm sorry.
>> Faith: Too bad you have
other plans.
She said they hardly ever
play live.
You must be bummed
that you're missing them.
>> Daniel: Yeah, I am--
I am bummed.
>> Lucy: I'm really glad that
Faith was free so that your
wristband wouldn't go to waste.
>> Faith: I'll text you later
and we can make a plan to go.
>> Lucy: Yeah, perfect. Bye.
>> Faith: Bye.
>> Daniel: Bye.
>> Lucy: So, um, Dad,
how are you?
>> Daniel: How am I?
Well, um, honestly,
I am less than perfect.
Do you want to tell me why
you just had me lie to Faith?
>> Lily: I don't know what
your plan is, but you said
you wanted to throw a party
and you sounded pretty tense.
>> Billy: Yeah, you know,
I think we need to loosen things
up around here a little bit.
>> Lily: Okay.
>> Billy: We need to make
a splash with the announcement
for Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Lily: Like a launch party?
>> Billy: Yes, exactly.
A launch party.
We need to get the name,
the brand, everything front
and center so people know
that we are a force to be
reckoned with.
>> Lily: Hmm.
And is there a particular
person you're sending
this message to?
>> Billy: Mm, I wonder who
that could be.
>> Lily: Like my brother, maybe?
>> Billy: I mean, Devon doesn't
like me, but he doesn't
hate me enough to want
to see you fail.
>> Lily: But Victor does.
>> Lily: You know, when I told
you that Victor was gunning
for Abbott-Chancellor,
you told me he wasn't a threat.
So, what changed?
>> Billy: I ran into that
pompous ass.
>> Lily: Oh, I'm guessing
it didn't go well.
>> Billy: No, it went fine.
I mean, no blood was spilled.
I did call him an old vulture.
>> Lily: Oh, wow.
I bet he loved that.
>> Billy: Well, he didn't deny
that he's lying in wait, hoping
we fail miserably so he can pick
at our bones, but that is not
going to happen because I'm not
going to let it.
I did tell Nikki, too,
to make sure that she knows
what her husband is up to.
>> Lily: Was she surprised?
>> Billy: She's got a pretty
good poker face, I guess,
but of course she's going
to support whatever her husband
says anyway.
>> Lily: So, I don't understand.
What were you trying
to accomplish by confronting
Victor?
>> Billy: I want him to know
that we know what he's planning.
>> Lily: Oh, okay.
And I'm sure he didn't
spell it out for you.
>> Billy: He threw around
a bunch of insults and claimed
that I'm not respecting
Katherine's legacy.
But now, I know.
When he makes an ill-advised
move and comes after Chancellor,
we'll be ready.
>> Lily: Yeah, with a party.
Should we get a bouncy house?
[ Billy chuckling ]
>> Billy: You know I like
to have a good time, but I think
we should class this up
a little bit.
Make a statement.
>> Lily: I don't know, Billy.
I kind of feel like you're
letting your feelings against
Victor cloud your judgment.
>> Billy: This isn't personal.
This is business.
It'll be good for us,
and it'll be great
for Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Nikki: So, do you think
Billy's next move will be
something to make us think that
he's not afraid of us?
>> Victor: I know so.
>> Nikki: He is so predictable.
>> Victor: Things will happen
quickly, my darling, okay?
So, I suggest we be ready
to strike.
>> Nikki: I have been
familiarizing myself with
Chancellor's holdings.
>> Victor: I like to hear that.
>> Nikki: You just love this
game, don't you?
The high stakes, the moves,
the counter moves.
I know you do.
>> Victor: Other than my wife
and other than my children,
this is what I live for.
You know that, don't you?
>> Nikki: I do.
>> Cameron: The thoughts never
really go away, do they, Sharon?
Even when you're on your meds,
they're still there,
lost somewhere in the fog of
your subconscious mind.
>> Sharon: Why am I thinking
about you?
>> Cameron: You brought this one
on yourself, babe.
>> Sharon: Don't call me that.
>> Cameron: You're thinking
of Cassie.
>> Sharon: So?
>> Cameron: Cassidy First used
to be Kirsten, Incorporated.
So, in your brain, you created
a clear and permanent connection
between me and your daughter.
And right now, we're having
a party in the deepest, darkest
corners of your beautiful mind.
Just me, Cassie,
and good old Nick Newman.
To be honest, I'm kind of
flattered that I was invited
to hang with two of your
greatest loves.
And now, I'm going to tell you
something you already know.
>> Sharon: Oh, please don't.
>> Cameron: Nick doesn't
want you anymore.
>> Sharon: Shut up. Shut up!
>> Cameron: You used to be
so strong,
and now you're fragile.
Maybe broken.
Hell...
you're damaged goods, girl.
Why would any man want you?
>> Sharon: You don't--
You always did talk too much.
You don't think I know
what you're doing.
You're just giving voice
to one of my insecurities.
>> Cameron: Oh, stop it.
Any therapist will tell you
you can't shrink yourself.
But fine, you know what?
I'll play along.
So Sharon, why do you think
you're thinking about me
right now?
I'm already dead,
but I'm dying to know.
You must want something
from me.
>> Sharon: No, I want nothing
from you.
That has not changed.
The reason you're here is
because of the trauma that
you inflicted on me.
Yeah, I lost Cassie, and you
tried to take Faith away
from me.
That's what ties you to these
deep feelings of loss.
>> Cameron: Maybe you're right.
>> Sharon: I know I'm right.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to take some time
away from Genoa City,
and I'm going to find some
peace, and I'm going to deal
with these feelings, this pain,
in a healthy way.
>> Cameron: You can run,
but you can't hide
from this, Sharon.
You can leave all the reminders
of your suffering behind,
and I will still be right here.
And by the way,
you're wrong about
the reason why.
>> Sharon: Tell me why.
>> Cameron: Hm. If I do that,
you might get rid of me.
And all I ever really wanted
was, uh, quality time with you,
so no.
I'll just hang here,
see if you can figure
this all out on your own.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Sharon: Oh, Faith,
you're back. Thank God.
>> Faith: Is everything okay?
You look flushed.
>> Sharon: Um, yeah,
I've been busy just
planning my escape.
>> Faith: Your what?
>> Sharon: My getaway trip.
I was making a list of things
that I need to pack.
>> Faith: Maybe I could help
with that. It looks like
you haven't gotten very far.
>> Sharon: You sound worried.
>> Faith: Because I am.
>> Sharon: Well, I told you
and Nick and Mariah that
I planned to get some downtime.
Right after you left, I called
that spa retreat in Sedona.
I've been there before.
I booked my stay.
Days of yoga and meditation.
No devices or distractions.
>> Faith: Sounds perfect.
>> Sharon: It is.
I can't wait to get there.
I can't get there soon enough.
What's wrong?
>> Faith: Now, it sounds like
you're worrying.
>> Sharon: Because I am.
>> Faith: I think I may have
just made a big mistake
with Lucy Romalotti.
>> Lucy: Dad, I promise you that
we will go see another band
together. And I won't even
complain about your terrible
taste in music.
>> Daniel: Wow, I think
you just did.
I am so not okay with this.
>> Lucy: Why not?
>> Daniel: Part of the deal
of you going to this concert was
that you went with an adult.
>> Lucy: Yeah, Faith is
an adult.
She's really responsible.
She doesn't even drink.
Dad, I really wasn't
trying to ditch you.
I promise, but--
It would really mean a lot
to me if you could let me go
to this concert with Faith
tonight instead of you.
>> Daniel: Why didn't you talk
to me about this before
asking Faith?
>> Lucy: It-- it just happened.
I ran into her and I guess
the words just kind of came out
of my mouth.
>> Daniel: So, you lied to her
and told her that
I couldn't make it.
>> Lucy: I told her that
something came up
and you were busy.
>> Daniel: Well, since I just
lost my job, that's not really
true. Though I do have
that project
that I just pitched to Sharon.
>> Lucy: That's Faith's mom.
If you two start working
together, then Faith and I can
hang out more.
>> Daniel: Right.
Um, actually, I think
I'd be working more with Mariah,
but that's not the point.
>> Lucy: It's Faith's sister.
It's the same deal.
>> Daniel: Hey, um,
talk to me here for a minute.
You-- you know that I think
you're amazing, right?
And I think that any kid
your own age would be lucky
to hang out with you.
Hey, look at me.
I just don't think that
you should expect too much
from Faith.
I don't want to see you
get disappointed.
Like you did with
your epic pool party.
>> Lucy: Dad, what are you
talking about?
I wasn't disappointed
with the pool party.
It was awesome.
>> Daniel: Oh, it was awesome?
I bet it was awesome.
The only way you would know
that is if Faith told you.
I know you didn't go.
>> Lucy: Dad, what are you
talking about?
>> Daniel: No, no, no, no.
Before you say the next
words you're going to say to me,
I want you to think really hard
about what it is you are going
to say because I can promise
you that lying to me a third
time is not going to be
the charm.
>> Lucy: How'd you know?
>> Daniel: I ran into the son of
someone I used to work with,
who was actually old enough
to go to this private party
where everyone got carded,
so there's no way
you got in there.
>> Lucy: Oh, so you're spying
on me now?
>> Daniel: No, I just told you
I found out by chance.
Hey-- You don't get to be
the one who is offended here.
Listen to me.
I can understand
why you wouldn't want everyone
to know why you weren't
included, and I'm sure that
didn't feel good,
but this is exactly the kind of
stuff that I'm trying
to help you avoid.
If you are hanging out with
kids that are older
than you, because of your age,
at some point you're going to be
put into positions where
you're on the outside looking
in, and-- I just think that
a friendship with Faith is not
something you should count on
right now.
>> Lucy: You know, Dad,
I hear you. I really do.
But can you please let me go
to this concert tonight
with Faith?
>> Daniel: I don't see
how you could miss it.
>> Lucy: Thank you, Dad.
You're the best.
>> Nikki: I must admit
I am excited.
Thank you for trusting me.
>> Victor: You've already
thanked me enough, my darling.
>> Nikki: Well, all right.
From this point on,
I will show my appreciation
by making Chancellor
a smashing success.
>> Victor: Come here.
I love sharing this with you.
>> Nikki: Well, I don't want
to press my luck, but since
you're in a sharing mood...
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
>> Nikki: ...why don't you
tell me what you have in mind
for Adam at Newman Media?
>> Victor: Don't worry
about that.
>> Nikki: Well, now that
makes me worry.
>> Victor: Really?
Come here.
It's all falling into place.
Okay?
Hm.
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
>> Summer: What are you doing
back here?
>> Kyle: Never mind that.
How's Harrison?
And what the hell
did you let happen to my son?
>> Sharon: Why won't you
leave me alone?
>> Cameron: I'm here because you
want me to be here.
>> Faith: What the hell, Lucy?
>> Lucy: Don't--
Please don't be mad.
>> Faith: Who gave you alcohol?
When? How much have you had?
