>> Adam: Ah.
I can't tell you how good it is
to see you back here.
>> Connor: Thanks, Dad.
>> Adam: So, first day back,
how was it sleeping in
your old room again?
>> Connor: Okay, I guess.
>> Adam: Just okay?
>> Connor: Kind of weird,
actually.
It didn't feel real at first.
I kept waking up expecting
to find myself back
at the residential hospital.
Then-- then, I started to panic.
Anyways.
>> Chelsea: Well, you didn't
tell me any of that.
>> Connor: I wanted to wait
until Dad was here to say
anything, but it's
really not a big deal.
>> Adam: Connor, you--
you don't have to take
care of us.
And you don't have to protect us
from what you're feeling.
>> Chelsea: That's right.
In fact, we don't want you to.
>> Adam: So, what happened after
you started to panic?
>> Connor: It kind of triggered
the OCD.
>> Billy: Morning.
>> Lily: Hi.
>> Billy: Thank you
for meeting me.
>> Lily: Yeah, um,
you said that you have a plan
to fix this?
>> Billy: I do.
>> Lily: Okay, well, Billy,
if this is a ploy to
manipulate me--
>> Billy: It's a solution to
the problems that you brought up
last night, Lily.
Which is why I wanted to do it
in person.
>> Lily: So, what is it?
>> Billy: Before I say anything,
I want to know if you thought
about what I said.
And did it change your mind in
any way, or are you still
asking me to walk away from
Abbott-Chancellor?
♪♪
>> Kyle: Hey there. Come in.
>> Claire: So,
how's Harrison feeling?
>> Kyle: Uh, he had
a rough night.
I think the worst of it
is over with.
>> Claire: Oh, thank goodness.
I'm relieved.
That poor little guy.
>> Kyle: Yeah, he was not happy.
>> Claire: Did you talk
to the doctor?
>> Kyle: He thinks it was
food poisoning.
How he could have come down
with that, I have no idea.
What have you got there?
>> Claire: Just some chicken
soup that I made for him
when he's feeling up to it.
>> Kyle: You didn't need to go
to the trouble.
>> Claire: No trouble.
It always makes me feel better.
>> Kyle: Well, thank you.
That was very thoughtful.
You really care about him,
don't you?
>> Claire: He's my little buddy.
So, did you get
any sleep last night?
>> Kyle: A few minutes here
and there.
>> Claire: I'm sorry.
And you had to cancel
your business trip.
>> Kyle: I got some work done
in New York, but when I heard
Harrison was sick,
none of that mattered.
I would have dropped whatever
I was doing and flown in from
anywhere in the world
to take care of him.
>> Claire: Of course, you would.
>> Kyle: I shouldn't have left
in the first place.
This probably wouldn't have
happened if I had stayed in
town or been allowed
to bring him with me.
>> Summer: So, you're saying
this is all my fault.
>> Kyle: I don't want to argue
with you, Summer.
>> Summer: No, you just want to
badmouth me to whoever's
willing to listen.
>> Kyle: Did I mention
your name?
>> Summer: You didn't have to.
"If I'd been here, none of this
would have happened, or if I'd
been allowed to take him with
me." It's pretty clear who's the
hero and who's the evil stepmom
in this fairy tale
that you're spinning.
>> Kyle: Summer, you took him to
a new restaurant and
he got sick.
That's just a fact.
>> Summer: You wanted to take
him all the way to Paris.
I take him to a new restaurant
in Genoa City
and I'm a bad parent?
Do you hear how ridiculous
you sound?
>> Kyle: Fine.
You're not a bad parent for
trying a new restaurant.
>> Summer: Thank you.
>> Kyle: But that doesn't
let you off the hook for
everything else
you've been trying to pull.
>> Summer: That's right.
You are losing an argument,
so you changed the subject.
>> Kyle: No, it's the same
subject, Summer.
You think you can sweet-talk
a judge into giving you sole
custody of Harrison?
It's not going to happen.
He belongs with me.
>> Chelsea: Why didn't you tell
me earlier you were
feeling triggered?
>> Adam: Well, hold on.
Let me pull up the doctor's
protocol on this.
>> Chelsea: That's a good idea.
>> Connor: No, wait.
You didn't let me finish.
>> Chelsea: Connor, if you're
having issues with your OCD
coming back, you have to let us
know immediately
when it happens.
>> Connor: That's what I've been
trying to tell you.
It didn't come back.
At least, not all the way.
>> Chelsea: But you just said--
>> Connor: The reason I didn't
say anything before is
as scary as it was,
I was able to deal with it.
>> Adam: Well, deal with it how?
>> Connor: When I felt the OCD
coming on,
I got scared at first.
But then I remembered my therapy
and all the strategies
they taught me.
I was able to accept what was
happening and
just kind of roll with it.
>> Chelsea: Roll with it how?
>> Connor: I reminded myself
that I didn't have to give in
to all those compulsive things
that I used to do.
That if I just waited it out,
the bad feelings would pass.
>> Adam: And did they?
>> Connor: I was able to shut
off the noises in my head.
And then after a while,
I calmed myself down and went
back to sleep.
That might not seem like a lot,
but it's actually
a pretty big deal for me.
>> Adam: It is a very
big deal, Connor.
>> Chelsea: It's wonderful
progress, sweetheart.
>> Connor: I didn't mean
to freak you guys out earlier.
I probably should have said
the good part first.
>> Adam: You did not do
anything wrong, okay?
We all are just-- We're figuring
this out together.
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm. And we need
to work on not overreacting,
which is going to be really hard
for me because
I'm very good at it.
>> Adam: So back at
the beginning, did you have
a good night back at home?
>> Connor: Really good.
>> Chelsea: Connor, I'm so proud
of you. You deserve a prize.
You should go inside
and get yourself a treat.
>> Connor: So, I guess this
means you guys have to have
a parent talk, right?
>> Adam: What?
>> Chelsea: What? No!
We're only going to talk about
you like half the time.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
[ Adam sighing ]
>> Adam: We, um,
we need to let him
finish his stories and listen
before we jump to conclusions.
>> Chelsea: Mm-hmm. Good call.
>> Adam: Yeah.
So, what about you? Did you
get any sleep last night?
>> Chelsea: Mm, barely.
I'm so happy he's home,
but I was just on high alert.
Worrying something was going to
go wrong.
Um, clearly, I missed the signs.
>> Adam: Hey, no blaming.
Can we agree?
>> Chelsea: I was right
there, Adam.
I mean, I could have at least
comforted him.
>> Adam: He didn't need you to.
He was able to work through it
himself, and we need to let him
do that.
>> Chelsea: And what if
he doesn't next time?
What if he is suffering and
struggling, and we don't see it?
>> Lily: No, I haven't
changed my mind.
I still think that you should
be removed from
a prominent position.
>> Billy: That's unfortunate.
But thank you for being honest
with me.
>> Lilly: Billy, look,
I'm sorry, you know?
I-- I didn't
think about all of the factors
at play when I decided
to partner with you.
And that's my fault, you know?
I take full responsibility
for that.
>> Billy: Or that Victor was
going to poke his nose in
and ruffle everyone's feathers.
>> Lily: Look, I don't know
what Victor has in mind.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe he does have some
personal vendetta against you
and is, you know, waiting
for you to self-destruct
to come in and pick up
the pieces.
But I-- I can't risk
the future of this company on
even the chance
of that happening.
>> Billy: No, I didn't realize
that I was a time bomb.
Guaranteed to go off
no matter what.
Doesn't give me a whole hell of
a lot of credit, does it?
>> Lily: No, I'm not saying
that, okay?
I'm not doubting your talent or
your intelligence.
But there's
outside forces here.
And-- and you bring a lot
of baggage,
and it's causing a lot of
trouble that we don't need.
>> Billy: Look, I get
my business record is spotty.
So, I'm not surprised that you
feel that way, or others feel
that way, but I guess I had
a little more faith in what
we were building than you do.
But here's the thing.
This, all of this,
was going to change it.
This was my dream.
So, when you told me that I was
going to have to walk away last
night, it pissed me off.
And then I started to think,
well, why should I walk away
when it was my idea to partner
with you in the first place?
Correct?
>> Lily: Yes.
>> Billy: And I have
my mother's power, right?
Her voting power is still
at my fingertips.
>> Lily: Sorry, what are you
trying to say?
>> Billy: Well, when you add
that up together, I think
I could just as easily ask you
to walk away.
>> Lily: I'm sorry,
that-- that's your new plan?
You want to get rid of me?
>> Billy: I was very angry
with you last night.
Because I thought that we were
in this together.
I thought we had a partnership,
and then you pulled the rug out
from underneath me.
>> Lily: And is that when
you decided that I should be
the one to go?
>> Billy: When I called you
last night, yes,
that was the plan.
Because I thought, why should
I give up on my dream just
because Victor rattled
your cage?
>> Lily: I'll fight you
on this, Billy.
>> Billy: Yeah, I have no doubt.
But you're not going to have to.
Because, I admit,
I am a liability.
>> Lily: You just said that I-
>> Billy: I know what I said.
But after a few stiff scotches
and some contemplation, I was
able to calm down and see this
from your point of view.
>> Lily: And what did you see?
>> Billy: A company in chaos.
A company with
my name all over it,
which is why Victor wants
to come after me.
Because he sees me being here
as a personal affront to
Katherine's memory.
And you don't deserve that.
We don't deserve that.
>> Lily: I'm surprised.
>> Billy: You're surprised that
I can take responsibility
for something?
>> Lily: Well, I'm surprised
that you're
looking at yourself
so honestly.
>> Billy: You can't hide from
the truth, can you?
>> Lily: Is it the truth?
>> Billy: I don't do tricks up
my sleeve, Lily.
So, you can believe me or not.
>> Lily: Okay.
So where does that leave us now?
>> Billy: Yeah, that's the
tricky part because I'm not
going to give up on my dream.
And I'm not going to walk away
from my mother's request
or my family's legacy.
But it also doesn't make sense
to force you to walk away
because this company wouldn't
exist if it wasn't for you.
And if we're ever going to get
anywhere near our potential,
then you need to be here.
>> Lily: So, where does that
leave you?
>> Billy: In an odd place.
A place that
I've never been before.
Behind the scenes.
As a silent partner.
>> Lily: You would be willing
to do that?
>> Billy: That's what you asked
me to do, isn't it, Lily?
>> Lily: Well, I didn't think
that you actually would.
>> Billy: Well, when I said
I wanted to do this with you,
I meant it.
So, I agree.
Me being here puts a bullseye
on this company.
And if I'm not the face of it,
then that weakens
Victor's position.
Maybe he doesn't come after us.
So, I will do what you asked.
I will go behind the curtain.
>> Adam: So, what was
the other thing
that we promised ourselves?
>> Chelsea: We can't wait
for the other shoe to drop.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
>> Chelsea: I know.
It's just hard not to think
the worst, Adam.
We've been down this road
so many times before.
>> Adam: Yeah, I get it.
My night was a lot like yours.
>> Chelsea: No sleep?
And knot in your stomach?
>> Adam: I-- I was expecting
a call or a text from you
that something had gone wrong,
that something bad happened.
I mean, I slept practically
dressed, ready to race
over here.
>> Chelsea: Well, I kept
my phone nearby,
ready to call.
>> Adam: I was like
a firefighter.
If the alarm went off, I was
coming over here.
But when the sun came up and
I hadn't heard from you, it felt
like I could--
I could breathe again.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
Even though I hated him being
in the facility, at least
I knew he was safe there.
There were doctors and nurses
that could check on him
at any time.
If something went wrong,
they had a plan.
They knew what to do.
>> Adam: Yeah, it's like they
just gave him back to us and
said, "Here you go.
Do your best."
>> Chelsea: Yeah. It almost felt
like we were just bringing home
a newborn baby.
We had the instructions, we had
the pamphlets, we knew which
doctors to call, but...
>> Adam: What? What is it?
>> Chelsea: Are we ready
for this, Adam?
Can we do it?
>> Adam: Chelsea, we have to.
We're his parents.
If we're not gonna do it,
who else is gonna do it?
>> Chelsea: You're right.
But we can't let him see that
we're scared.
>> Adam: No.
God, no.
>> Chelsea: And we're gonna
be anxious.
>> Adam: And-- and we will
make mistakes.
>> Chelsea: But we have to keep
pushing forward.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
One day at a time.
>> Claire: I'm so relieved that
Harrison is feeling better
this morning. Uh,
do you mind if I run up
to go see him?
Maybe see if he's hungry.
>> Kyle: He'll be happy
you stopped by.
He's been asking about you
all morning.
>> Claire: Oh.
Summer, is that okay with you?
>> Summer: Sure.
It's fine.
Didn't waste any time calling
Claire, did you?
>> Kyle: Why wouldn't
I call her?
She takes care of our son.
I thought I should give her
a heads-up. He adores her.
>> Summer: As we all well know.
Thank you.
>> Kyle: That's a bad thing?
That Harrison likes Claire?
Look, Summer, I don't feel the
need to keep him away
from her like you do.
>> Summer: I--
>> Kyle: The minute I leave
town, you tell her to take off.
>> Summer: I wanted to spend
time with my son.
>> Kyle: Is your jealousy
so intense?
>> Summer: I am not
jealous of Claire.
>> Kyle: Right.
>> Summer: But I do wonder why
you feel the need to call for
help at any time there's just
a little issue with Harrison.
I mean, is Claire gonna be on
speed dial now that Jack and
Diane aren't gonna be around to
pick up your slack?
>> Kyle: Okay, I'm done
with this.
>> Summer: What are you done
with, Kyle?
>> Kyle: You.
Picking an argument with me
over everything I say or do.
>> Summer: This?
Coming from the man who just
blamed me for
Harrison's stomachache?
Oh yeah, poor you, Kyle.
You're such a victim.
>> Kyle: This is getting out
of hand.
>> Summer: You're right.
What are we gonna do about it?
>> Kyle: I know what
I'm gonna do.
>> Summer: What is that supposed
to mean?
>> Kyle: That means
I am finished.
I am finished with this
miserable dance
we've been doing.
I'm gonna call my lawyer this
afternoon and accelerate the
custody hearing.
I want this over with.
>> Summer: Are you
threatening me?
>> Kyle: I just want this
custody issue settled so we can
put it behind us.
>> Summer: You seem pretty
confident that things are gonna
go your way,
but speeding up the legal
process doesn't mean that
you're gonna win.
>> Kyle: Oh, I fully expect to.
My lawyer tells me I'm holding
a much better hand than you are
and I'm inclined to agree.
>> Summer: That's funny.
My lawyer says the same thing
to me.
>> Kyle: Guess we'll have to
wait and find out, won't we?
How's Harrison feeling?
>> Claire: I am happy to say
he seems to be back to his
normal self.
He's even planning an
expedition with me to the park
for the afternoon,
if you're both
on board with that.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I'm good with it.
As long as he takes it easy.
>> Claire: I'll make sure
he does.
And you should know that he
devoured my homemade cure-all.
>> Kyle: Ooh, then he must be
feeling better.
>> Claire: Is that--
is that okay with you, Summer?
>> Summer: Um, yeah,
if he continues to improve,
I think that's a great idea
for him to get some fresh air.
What's this cure-all that
you're talking about?
>> Claire: Oh, it's just some
chicken soup that
I made for him.
>> Summer: That's nice of you.
I appreciate you taking
such good care of him.
>> Claire: Of course.
It's my job.
And my pleasure.
So, I assume this means that
you're going to be leaving to
meet Audra in Paris now?
>> Kyle: Change of plans.
I'm not going anywhere.
>> Lily: So, this is the new
humble Billy Abbott
I'm speaking to?
>> Billy: Look, I have no doubt
whatsoever that what we are
building here is going
to be incredible.
And I'm not doing it
for the glory.
I'm doing it for the simple
satisfaction of proving
everyone else wrong.
Quieting all the noises,
getting over all the hurdles,
and creating something special.
>> Lily: So,
how would this work?
You would just be behind
the scenes forever?
>> Billy: No.
No, there's no reason
to do that because once we do
prove that we are good together,
and this company
becomes unstoppable,
then I can step out from
the shadows, we can take
a victory lap, but that will be
down the road.
>> Lily: Like what? Months?
Years?
>> Billy: I can't answer that
any more than you can, Lily.
So, why don't you just take the
win and know that this fixes
your problems.
And bonus, you get my brilliance
without all the baggage.
That's a pretty good deal.
>> Lily: And what do you think
would happen?
Victor would just disappear?
>> Billy: Victor's not going to
come after you in the same way
he would come after me.
>> Lily: That's true.
>> Billy: And let's not forget
that this was your idea, okay?
So if you're asking me,
I'm pretty sure I ticked all
the boxes.
>> Lily: Okay, let's say that
we do this.
>> Billy: Okay.
>> Lily: How do we publicly
announce that I am the face
of Abbott-Chancellor without
making you seem weak?
>> Chelsea: So, I have to ask,
how was it being home
with Sally?
[ Adam exhaling ]
>> Adam: Uh, ha.
Uh...
that's a whole other story.
>> Chelsea: Bad?
>> Adam: No.
She's been wonderful.
Thoughtful, loving, the way
that she's been through
all of this.
Meanwhile, I've been
preoccupied with Connor and
everything else.
I wasn't there for her.
>> Chelsea: What do you mean?
>> Adam: I forgot the one year
anniversary of losing Ava.
>> Chelsea: Oh, Adam, no.
>> Adam: It's hard to believe
it's already been a year.
>> Chelsea: Oh, poor Sally,
but poor you.
>> Adam: Well, I feel terrible
she had to go through that
all by herself.
You know, I asked her why she
didn't call me and she said she
didn't want to burden me with
all of her pain while I was
going through everything
with Connor.
And she doesn't even know
the half of it.
I feel guilty, Chelsea.
Even worse than before.
>> Chelsea: I know the feeling.
>> Adam: Have you spoken
to Billy?
>> Chelsea: Briefly.
>> Adam: Did he interrogate
you again?
>> Chelsea: No.
No, but it was
definitely awkward.
I'm just glad it wasn't
face-to-face because he's
definitely still suspicious.
>> Connor: Who's
suspicious, Mom?
About what?
>> Chelsea: Um, it was
a work situation.
Um, come to think of it,
suspicious probably isn't
the right word for it.
It was just this client was
going to back out of an order,
but we figured it out.
>> Adam: Mm-hmm.
>> Connor: Cool.
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
>> Adam: Well, you were
in there a long time, buddy.
>> Connor: Yeah.
I ran into this kid
I go to school with.
Went to school with
at Walnut Grove.
Anyway, he wondered
where I'd been all summer.
>> Chelsea: What did you
tell him?
>> Connor: I told him I was
at a hospital getting treatment
for OCD.
>> Chelsea: You did?
>> Connor: No.
I don't want people to know
about that.
I said I'd been visiting
family.
>> Chelsea: Oh, sweetheart.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
>> Connor: Yeah, Mom.
I know.
I just don't want to come back
to town as the weird kid
who had to be sent away.
You know?
I just want to fit in.
>> Adam: Yeah.
I get that.
Well, you had us going there
for a minute.
>> Connor: I know.
>> Adam: It was pretty good.
>> Connor: Thanks.
>> Chelsea: Well, who's hungry?
Did you get a treat inside?
>> Connor: I got a brownie,
and I ate it.
>> Adam: What?
And you didn't share?
>> Connor: Sorry.
>> Adam: It's okay.
I want my own anyway.
>> Connor: I'm actually kind of
tired. I didn't sleep a ton.
Do you mind if I go upstairs?
>> Chelsea: Not at all.
It's no problem.
>> Connor: It's okay, Mom.
You don't have to come with me.
You and Dad can keep talking.
>> Adam: I actually have
to get to the office.
So, call you later?
>> Chelsea: Sure.
>> Adam: Look, it is so good
to have you back home.
>> Connor: Me too, Dad.
Feels like we're
a family again.
>> Chelsea: Come on.
[ Adam sighing ]
>> Billy: Yeah, I've been
thinking about how we're going
to spin this.
>> Lily: You publicly taking
a back seat
at Abbott-Chancellor?
>> Billy: It's going to be
tricky.
>> Lily: Well, especially with
the name Abbott
front and center.
>> Billy: Oh, but that's just
a name, right? As you've
reminded me many, many times.
We say that the fantastic CEO
at Chancellor, Lily Winters,
is going to resume her role
at the new company.
>> Lily: I mean, listen,
this all sounds great,
but people are going to be
curious as to why you're
suddenly taking a step back.
Especially one person
in particular.
>> Billy: Victor, yes, I know.
>> Lily: Yeah, he's going
to come after me, wanting
to know what's going on.
We have to have a plausible
cover story.
>> Billy: And I do have one,
but it's going to be
a roll of the dice
because it involves my mother.
>> Lily: Jill would be involved?
>> Billy: She's going to need
to sign off on it, and that's
not going to be easy.
>> Lily: Okay, no. Then, I don't
think we should do it.
She's dealing with so much with
her health, she does not need
to be part of
a corporate scheme.
>> Billy: Normally I would agree
with you, but my mother's
condition is actually
part of the solution.
>> Lily: What do you mean?
>> Billy: We go public
with her condition.
It would make sense that
I would step away from
the company in order
to take care of my mother.
>> Claire: I'm surprised.
I thought this business trip
was really important.
>> Summer: Yeah, so did I.
So important, in fact,
that you wanted to drag Harrison
halfway across the world
to go with you.
Are you willing to admit now
that that was a bad idea?
>> Kyle: I'm not admitting
anything.
After Harrison got sick,
my plans changed, that's all.
Audra went ahead to Paris
to handle the meetings there
while I stay home.
>> Summer: Permanently?
Sounds like.
>> Kyle: I think this situation
warrants it.
>> Summer: And what's
the situation, Kyle?
You want to spend more time
with your son or you just don't
trust me?
>> Kyle: A little bit of both,
actually.
>> Summer: It was a stomachache,
okay?
>> Kyle: The doctor said
it was food poisoning,
which can be serious.
>> Summer: But it wasn't.
>> Kyle: Plus, I get
the distinct feeling you were
trying to take advantage of me
being gone.
>> Summer: How would
I have done that?
>> Kyle: By investing more time
with him, building your legal
case brick by brick while
tearing me down in front of him.
>> Summer: Oh, wow.
Now, you just sound crazy
and paranoid.
Why would I want to tear
you down in front of Harrison?
Why would I want to poison
my son against anyone,
especially his own father?
>> Kyle: Because your hostility
towards me right now is off
the charts.
Don't forget, Summer,
I've been here before with you.
I know who you are and I also
know who your mother is.
>> Summer: Oh, I don't think
you want to go there.
Comparing mothers?
I don't think
you'd win that one.
>> Kyle: At least mine had
the decency to call me
when she found out Harrison was
sick, which is more than I can
say for you.
>> Summer: I was going to call.
>> Kyle: Really? When would you
have done that?
Because you didn't answer
or return any of my calls
yesterday when I wanted
to speak with Harrison.
What the hell was up with that?
>> Summer: We were busy.
>> Kyle: Yeah?
Busy all day and night?
>> Summer: Yes, we were busy
and then Harrison got sick.
So, yes, that was
my main focus.
I would have called you though
if it was serious, but as it
turns out, it wasn't.
>> Kyle: I don't trust you,
Summer.
Plain and simple.
That's why I came home.
That's why I'm staying.
>> Lily: Jill will never
go for that.
>> Billy: Well, I'm going to ask
her anyway.
>> Lily: She wanted to keep
her medical condition private.
She didn't want you telling me
and now you want to go
to the press?
>> Billy: Oh, she's going to
hate it.
There's no doubt about it.
But what she's going to hate
more is the idea of me and you
butting heads straight out
of the gate.
Or you going back on
the agreement to the partnership
at Chancellor. Or she's not
going to like at all
Victor sniffing around here
and thinking about coming
after us.
>> Lily: Yeah, it's all true.
So, sorry, how are you going to
explain your new role to her?
>> Billy: Nothing's going to
change here.
Everything will continue,
but internally.
>> Lily: Right, so nothing will
actually change.
We'll still be butting heads,
just privately.
>> Billy: No, that's not going
to happen.
Lily, when I told you that
I was going to take a step back,
I meant it.
Because I want to see this
place succeed.
So, we will go public
with my mother's condition.
We will tell the press.
We keep it vague.
Tell everybody that she's going
to be fine.
Expecting to make
a full recovery.
Everyone's going to want
that in the first place.
But it makes sense that
I would take time away from the
company to be there with her.
[ Lily sighing ]
>> Lily: I don't know, Billy.
>> Billy: I think she'll
do this, Lily.
I know you don't agree,
but we're closer now
than we've ever been.
We trust each other.
She wouldn't put me
in this position if we didn't.
But now, I need to know
where you stand.
Are you willing to go along
with this plan?
[ Lily sighing ]
>> Lily: I mean, I'll agree
to the silent partner part,
but the Jill part, I just,
I need more time.
>> Billy: Fair enough.
>> Lily: Look, why don't you
talk about it with Jill?
See how she reacts.
And then we can talk about it.
And in the meantime, I'll think
of some alternative cover
stories, just in case.
>> Billy: My plan's going
to work. You'll see.
>> Summer: So you're going
to stick around,
keep an eye on things?
Is that the deal?
>> Kyle: Oh, I'll be doing a lot
more than that, but yeah,
I'll be sticking around.
>> Summer: You are so determined
to make this even bigger
and uglier than it already is,
aren't you?
>> Kyle: Yeah. I'm just here
to be Harrison's dad.
I'm willing to let the courts
decide the rest of it.
>> Summer: You know what?
I'm done wasting my time
arguing with you.
I have to get to work.
>> Kyle: Don't let me keep you.
>> Summer: I'll be back to
check in on Harrison later.
Claire, keep a close eye on him
today, please?
>> Claire: Of course.
[ Kyle sighing ]
>> Kyle: Yeah, I apologize
for that.
>> Claire: You don't have to.
Things are obviously tense
between the two of you.
>> Kyle: Things are a hell of
a lot tense, but you shouldn't
have to be stuck
in the middle of it.
>> Claire: I just...
I think for Harrison's sake,
the two of you need to dial it
down a lot more.
>> Kyle: Try telling that
to Summer.
>> Claire: I don't think
she'd listen to me.
But I do feel like I can say it
to you.
>> Kyle: You can.
And I appreciate it.
But I'm warning you, Claire.
These next few weeks are going
to be hard.
Because I am going to call
my lawyer and accelerate
the custody issue and get this
solved once and for all.
And if you think what you just
saw now is bad,
look, I'm not proud of it,
but it's likely
to get even worse.
So, I'm going to need your help
more now than ever before.
>> Billy: Hey, I take it you
just went and saw Chelsea
and Connor.
>> Adam: That's right.
>> Billy: How are they doing?
>> Adam: They are okay.
But they had a pretty rough
night, so if you're planning
to stop by and see them, I would
suggest doing it another time.
>> Billy: Oh, you do, huh?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. They're tired.
And they need the time
and the space to get settled in.
>> Billy: So, you don't even
want me to go up and say hello?
>> Adam: I would prefer
if you didn't.
>> Claire: I already told you
I don't feel comfortable
spying on Summer for you.
>> Kyle: And I never should have
brought that up to you
in the first place.
Just please forgive me
for that.
That's not what I'm asking you
to do for me.
>> Claire: Okay.
What is it?
>> Kyle: I don't like the way
I have been with Summer.
It's not as though she hasn't
provoked me, but I have let
my anger and frustrations
get the better of me.
More than once.
>> Claire: She does seem to push
your buttons.
>> Kyle: So, what I'm really
asking you to do is
what you're already doing.
Reminding me to keep my voice
down, closing the door,
or turning on music so Harrison
doesn't hear us fighting.
Even that look you gave me
earlier when Summer and I were
starting to get into it.
>> Claire: Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't mean to overstep.
>> Kyle: No, I want you to.
I need you to.
That look was all I needed
to pull myself back.
>> Claire: I understand.
This must be really hard
for you.
For both of you.
And I've never been married,
obviously, but I've also never
been in a serious relationship.
Um, but I imagine that the two
of you didn't start out
by hating each other.
>> Kyle: No, we did not.
>> Claire: So, maybe when you
start to feel that anger
coming on, maybe you can
remind yourself of that.
>> Kyle: That's good advice.
But I may still need you
to give me a stink eye
every now and then.
>> Claire: Well,
if it's for Harrison,
then I would do anything
to protect that little boy.
>> Summer: Elaine.
Hi.
Yeah, so Kyle is now
threatening to move up
the custody hearing, so we need
to be prepared for that.
I know.
I know our case is
in good shape, but frankly,
I'm scared.
>> Billy: So, you would prefer
that I stay away from Connor
and Chelsea for how long?
Days? Weeks? Months?
Maybe forever?
>> Adam: Until we can all get
comfortable having Connor back
at home.
Is that too hard for you
to understand?
>> Billy: No, I understand
that's what you would want.
But if you don't mind,
I'm going to take Chelsea's lead
on this.
>> Adam: Okay, well, I do mind.
If it means you're going
to continue
your cross-examination.
Trying to get her to admit
something that only exists in
your anxiety-filled mind.
>> Billy: See, all of that right
there just proves that it's not
just in my mind.
Otherwise, why would you care?
>> Adam: I care because you're
clearly upsetting Chelsea,
and Billy, it's the last thing
that Chelsea needs right now.
>> Billy: See, Adam, I don't
believe that I'm the one causing
the distress.
Something happened.
Chelsea's so upset that
she doesn't want to talk to me
about it. And it's more than
just you getting angry
and saying hurtful words.
>> Adam: Well, of course
you would think that.
>> Billy: You, standing here,
warning me?
It lights it all up in neon.
I'm going to find out
what happened.
You can count on that.
