>> Kyle: Hey, looks like you've
got your hands full.
>> Claire: I have packed
everything Harrison's gonna need
for the school year
all in one bag.
He's already decorated his
pencil case, collected all
of his markers,
one for every color of
the rainbow, and attached
this cute little
caterpillar keychain.
>> Kyle: May I?
Oh, that's heavy.
>> Claire: I may have forgotten
to mention that he also packed
all of his
books on metamorphosis.
Things change, right?
You think that something's
crawling around all cute
and fuzzy and then,
before you know it,
it's changed into something
beautiful that can fly.
You have an eyelash.
>> Kyle: Sorry?
>> Claire: Just here,
it was on your cheek.
>> Kyle: Oh.
>> Claire: Now, you make a wish.
>> Kyle: A-- a wish?
>> Claire: Yeah, haven't you
ever done this with Harrison?
He's the one who taught me.
You just make a wish
and then you blow it away
and your wish comes true.
>> Kyle: Oh.
>> Claire: Go ahead.
>> Kyle: That's it?
>> Claire: That's it.
[ both laughing ]
>> Claire: Oh, but you can't
tell anyone what you wished for.
It won't come true.
>> Kyle: Oh.
Uh, Claire...
we need to talk.
♪♪
>> Billy: So, you want to get
a few things clear, Chance,
but didn't you do that when you
questioned my judgment
about firing Lily?
>> Chance: I heard
what you said and I listened
very carefully.
>> Billy: Okay, well maybe
we need to understand the
chain of commands because
I don't answer to you.
I'm in charge.
>> Chance: That's crystal clear
now that Lily's gone.
>> Billy: And I told you that
I value your position
here at Abbott-Chancellor,
but second-guessing me is not
part of your job description.
>> Chance: Well, I think it is
in my job description to voice
my opinion about the direction
that this company is headed.
My name is still on
the building.
>> Billy: Oh, so this is about
Chancellor becoming
Abbott-Chancellor.
>> Chance: That was
totally your call.
>> Billy: Well, you're damn
right it was.
Whatever it is you have to say,
it's gonna have to wait
because I've had enough
of your opinions for one day.
>> Chance: Actually, Billy,
you're gonna have to hear more.
And it's a pretty safe bet
you're not gonna like
most of it.
>> Nikki: So,
how was your meeting with Lily?
Did she tell you anything more--
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Nikki: About what's going on
at Chancellor?
>> Victor: I can confirm that
Billy boy brought his
trademark chaos to the company.
>> Nikki: We knew that
would happen.
What did she tell you?
>> Victor: She agrees with us
that he is incapable
of running things,
so she wants him out
as much as we do.
>> Nikki: So,
she'll be looking for allies.
>> Victor: You got it.
So, we're not the only ones
who want him out.
>> Jack: Lily, hi.
>> Lily: Hi, how are you?
Sorry, I'm just finishing
a text to Mattie.
>> Jack: Yeah, the twins
are good?
>> Lily: Yeah, they're good.
Mattie's still at grad
school in California.
>> Jack: Good for her.
There was some news
of an accident or?
>> Lily: Yeah, there was a fire
at the school and one of
her professors died, actually.
So, I went out there just kind
of helping her deal with
the trauma and all of that.
But she's better.
She's actually helping other
students now and faculty
process their trauma, so.
>> Jack: Good for her.
>> Lily: Yeah.
>> Jack: Catch me up on Charlie.
>> Lily: Charlie actually just
got to LA.
He's trying to figure out
his next steps in his
film career, but he and Mattie
are actually going to meet up
while he's out there, so.
>> Jack: Well, always nice
to hear that they're hanging
together.
>> Lily: Yeah, yeah.
No, they're very close,
but of course, you know,
Mattie always complains
about how Charlie's driving
her crazy.
You know how brothers do.
>> Jack: Yeah, I kind of do.
Speaking of that, how's Billy
doing over at Chancellor?
>> Lily: You haven't heard?
>> Jack: No.
What's Billy done now?
>> Lily: He fired me.
>> Claire: So...
what do you want to talk about?
>> Kyle: Harrison
is going to be
in school all day,
so maybe it's a good time
to revisit our arrangement.
>> Claire: Oh.
>> Kyle: Things change, right?
Like with the caterpillars?
>> Claire: Right.
Um, I'm just,
I'm still not sure
what you mean.
Are you--
are you saying that
you don't need me anymore?
>> Kyle: No, of course
I need you.
For Harrison.
>> Claire: And I guess it does
make sense that I would have
fewer hours with him during
the school year.
>> Kyle: Yeah, exactly.
I just wasn't sure if you wanted
or needed a full-time job.
And I'm not trying to talk you
into leaving by any means.
Harrison adores you.
>> Claire: And you know
the feeling's mutual.
For a second there,
I thought maybe you were
firing me.
>> Kyle: No, never.
I just wanted to make sure
I'm not holding you back from
something you want because
you're afraid to tell me
about it.
>> Claire: You're talking about
me going to work for
my grandmother, right?
>> Nikki: Lily is in
the position to help us
take over Chancellor.
>> Victor: Well, unfortunately,
her position has changed.
>> Nikki: What do you mean?
>> Victor: Billy fired her.
>> Nikki: What?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Nikki: How could he do that?
>> Victor: Because Jill gave him
the power.
>> Nikki: Jill is the one
who put Lily in charge at
Chancellor to begin with.
Why would she want her gone?
>> Victor: This was entirely
Billy's doing.
>> Nikki: Oh, my God.
We knew he was reckless,
but why would he want to get rid
of Lily so soon?
I mean,
her knowledge of the company
is tremendous.
What was he thinking?
>> Victor: To think requires
a brain. He doesn't have one.
[ Nikki sighing ]
>> Nikki: I'm sure she isn't
happy having been pushed out.
She's going to be looking
for some payback.
>> Victor: That's why she came
to me.
>> Nikki: Do you think she wants
to help us bring Billy down?
>> Victor: She wants to reclaim
her position at Chancellor.
>> Nikki: Okay, now
wait a minute.
Her position is the one that
I will have when we take over.
So, it sounds like
we have a little problem.
>> Jack: I cannot imagine you
would do anything that would
justify that course of action.
>> Lily: Well, he came to
the conclusion that
he couldn't trust me.
>> Jack: Well, people close
to Billy have disappointed him.
And yes,
I suppose that has created some
issues of trust.
>> Lily: Even though his own
mother trusted me to
lead Chancellor.
>> Jack: Lily, I happen to know
Billy cares about you
a great deal
and he values your considerable
executive experience
and talent.
>> Lily: Well, clearly he finds
my experience and
talent threatening.
>> Jack: Well, I'm probably not
the one to say this,
but I apologize for
what my brother has done.
>> Lily: No, thank you,
but you're not responsible
for his behavior.
>> Jack: Well, I'm not certain
about that, but maybe I can be
an influence on
what he decides to do next.
Are you okay with my talking
to him? Trying to convince him
that he has made
a monumental mistake?
>> Lily: I appreciate that,
but I will be fine.
Don't worry.
>> Jack: I'm not worried about
that at all.
My worry is about Billy.
>> Lily: I know. I mean,
look, we know that if he's
not kept on track,
he tends to go off the rails.
And honestly, given his
business track record,
I don't think he can
afford another failure.
>> Jack: Well, here is
a testament to your
considerable character.
After what Billy has done,
you are worried about
what's going to happen to Billy.
>> Lily: Well, look,
I'm not trying to seem saintly.
I am looking out for myself.
>> Jack: Well, no one would
blame you for that.
>> Lily: Yeah, and I mean,
I'm also looking out
for Katherine's empire.
And she built it, right?
So, someone needs to
make sure that Billy
doesn't tear it down.
>> Billy: Why don't you take
your complaints, write them down
and stuff them into the little
box that says suggestions on it.
It's sitting in the cafeteria.
Because right now,
we have work to do
to make sure that we're ready
for the launch.
>> Chance: Well, Billy,
maybe the reason we're so behind
is because we just lost
a top-level executive.
>> Billy: Okay, we're talking
about firing Lily again?
I get it, Chance.
You don't like the move.
>> Chance: No, Billy, what
I don't like is that
you decided Lily was
a problem and couldn't be
trusted, even though she gave
you no clear reason to think so.
Or, you know, maybe she did and
you just don't feel
like sharing it with me.
>> Billy: Didn't realize you
liked Lily so much that
you're willing to fight for her.
>> Chance: This isn't about
Lily. This is about me.
Billy, you fired Lily
seemingly without cause.
So, I can't help but wonder if
I'm next.
>> Billy: I told you,
don't give me a reason to
and you won't be.
>> Chance: There's the
problem, Billy.
She didn't give you a reason.
You made one up based on how
you felt, not the facts.
>> Billy: I can see that
you were a good cop.
I get the feeling of sitting in
an interrogation room with
a two-way mirror and
a single bulb hanging over
my head and
you breathing down my neck.
>> Chance: Billy,
you say I'm good if I don't
give you a reason not
to trust me,
but you admitted you
don't trust anybody.
>> Billy: You're right, Chance.
After what's happened
to me the last month,
I don't trust anyone right now.
>> Chance: This isn't just
about Lily, is it?
>> Billy: No, it's not.
It's actually supposed to be
about you.
So, why don't you tell me
what you want?
>> Kyle: I didn't know you were
thinking about going
to work for Nikki.
>> Claire: I thought maybe
Summer had told you.
It really means a lot to me that
my grandmother would
trust me enough to offer me
a job after everything
I've done.
>> Kyle: You've done a lot of
work to earn that trust.
>> Claire: I hope so.
>> Kyle: So, is Nikki going
back to Newman Media?
I thought Adam was
running the show there.
>> Claire: He is.
Honestly, I don't think
the details are worked out yet.
I don't know exactly where
this opportunity would
be or when it would start.
>> Kyle: Yeah, it makes sense
that your family would want to
find a place for you somewhere
in Newman.
>> Claire: And it's not that
I don't appreciate it.
I'm just not sure that
it's the right path for me
to take right now.
>> Kyle: Has Victor
pushed you on it?
>> Claire: He made it clear
I'd be welcome.
>> Kyle: You did study business,
right?
>> Claire: And Jordan taught me
how to use the tools
of deception and manipulation.
Traits that
she deemed necessary.
Stock and trade of
the corporate world.
But all of that was
for her agenda.
I'm only just trying to figure
out my way in so many areas
of my life.
Work and family and friendship.
I'm not in any rush to
metamorphosize back
into some corporate drone.
No offense.
>> Kyle: None taken.
I am the poster boy for what can
go wrong when you run headfirst
into the family business.
>> Claire: No.
You don't have to worry about me
doing that anytime soon,
at least.
Harrison still has a long
list of adventures
we haven't gotten to yet.
>> Kyle: I appreciate you not
wanting to disappoint him.
>> Claire: Are you kidding?
I'm looking forward to them
as much as he is.
[ both laughing ]
>> Claire: And that means that
I will be available
for whatever you need.
And Summer. You and Summer.
Of course.
>> Kyle: I mean, I--
I hope I've made it clear
how much I value your dedication
to my son.
>> Claire: I think I need
Harrison as much as
he needs me.
>> Kyle: You think
Harrison needs you?
>> Claire: I do.
>> Kyle: Because of
all the tension
between Summer and me.
>> Jack/Lily: Thank you.
>> Jack: I wish I could tell you
not to worry about what Billy
might do at Chancellor.
>> Lily: Yeah, I mean,
we both know that humility
is not his strong suit.
>> Jack: Well, he projects this
unwavering confidence in his
abilities and his opinions,
but I happen to know
he is still trying
to prove himself.
To me, to the world, to himself.
>> Lily: Yeah, I agree.
I mean, I think that's why
he wanted to add Abbott in front
of the Chancellor name.
>> Jack: Yeah, I advised against
that, but his arrogance
was such that he did not
hear me.
>> Lily: Oh, so you were
against the rebranding?
>> Jack: I think it's as much
an affront to my father as it is
to Katherine Chancellor.
But what could I do?
I had to back off.
It's his name, too.
I was hoping that
maybe he would outgrow
this brashness.
I have been his constant
supporter, but there is,
I don't know, the way he takes
any skepticism of his decision,
it's like a betrayal of him.
>> Lily: Oh, don't I know it.
>> Jack: Unfortunately, I have
been right to doubt him
more than not.
>> Lily: Look, I think it's
clear that Billy sees
Chancellor as his last chance
at vindication.
But the fact that he can't
tolerate anyone's point of view
that's different from his own,
I think that's going
to be his undoing.
>> Chance: Billy, I told you
what I want.
I want to be heard,
because I have concerns.
>> Billy: Okay, well, let me
talk to you about concerns
because right now,
I'm running a billion-dollar
conglomerate and I don't have
a partner to do that with.
I'm doing it on my own.
>> Chance: Well, maybe you
should ask Lily to come back.
>> Billy: Yeah, that's not going
to happen because I'm focused on
the future of this company,
not worried if someone's
going to stab me in the back.
>> Chance: Billy, you're
starting to sound
a little paranoid,
if you ask me.
>> Billy: I'm starting to think
I should be paranoid
about you, Chance.
>> Chance: Me?
I've given you zero
reasons to question my loyalty.
>> Billy: Until now.
>> Chance: Billy,
loyalty is not being a yes-man.
It's about having
somebody's back.
You just said it.
It's hard to do what you want to
do here all by yourself, right?
>> Billy: I was committed to
running this company with Lily.
I tried with her.
>> Chance: Did you?
Because it feels like
you're doing exactly what
you accused Devon of doing,
being a lone wolf.
>> Billy: Devon and I are
very different, Chance.
>> Chance: Not in the way that
you two do business, no.
>> Billy: Okay, why don't you
get to the point?
>> Chance: My point is,
I think you've bitten off
more than you can chew, Billy.
>> Billy: This was supposed
to be about you.
Now, it sounds like we're
only talking about me.
>> Chance: Billy, what you do
has a direct impact on me, okay?
So, this isn't some kind
of personal attack.
Don't take it as such.
>> Billy: Okay, why don't you
spill it out, okay? Tell me
what you're concerned about.
>> Chance: You've created
a situation here
where you have
complete autonomy, right?
But lately you've been
acting impulsive, yeah?
Even erratic at times.
And I don't want to end up as
collateral damage to
one of your whims,
just like Nate, just like Devon,
and just like Lily did, okay?
>> Billy: You done?
>> Chance: No, I'm not done.
I do want to protect my position
here at this company. I do.
But I also want to protect this
company for Jill's sake
because she's not happy.
>> Billy: You talked to my mom?
>> Chance: I did.
She's worried about her company
and she's worried about her son.
>> Billy: I really wish you
didn't go behind my back and
burden her with what's going on
here at the company.
>> Chance: Billy, I am just as
concerned about her as you are,
okay? I was very gentle.
But I realized after
talking to her,
there's no shot in hell
I'm going to sit back
and watch you
drive this company off a cliff.
>> Billy: Wow.
That's new.
I've heard off the rails.
I've heard crash and burn,
but you are creative, Chance.
>> Chance: You got a bit of
a reputation, Billy.
Who's fault is that?
>> Billy: Well,
if I was as thin-skinned as
everyone says I am,
I would have given up
a long time ago, but I see
what you're doing here.
You're playing good cop with
my mom and bad cop with me.
Making it sound like you're out
to protect everyone, making
sure that you're here to
protect me, too.
>> Chance: I'm trying to.
>> Billy: Maybe you try to do it
without all the criticism and
bluster, or do I have to expect
a lecture every time you come
in here?
>> Chance: Okay.
I'll get to the point.
>> Billy: Great.
>> Chance: Winters,
they're gone.
Lily, she's gone, too.
It's just you and me.
And my name is on the building
behind yours, so I feel
an obligation to protect
my family's legacy,
the same way you want
to protect yours.
And I also want to
protect my grandmother from
any stress over this company.
>> Billy: And how do you suppose
you're going to do that?
>> Chance: By being your co-CEO.
Effective immediately.
>> Claire: Do you think
I'm wrong?
>> Kyle: No, no.
I agree that my son needs you,
that you help him feel safe.
That's one of the reasons
I fought Summer so hard
to keep you in his life.
>> Claire: And I think she's
starting to see that, too.
>> Kyle: She does.
I'm sorry that you were caught
in the crossfire between us.
>> Claire: It hasn't always
been easy.
But I'm sure it's been harder on
you and Summer than it could
ever be for me.
>> Kyle: And on Harrison.
We thought we were
keeping the conflict from him,
but as you pointed out,
he's picked up on it.
>> Claire: He's a really
sensitive kid.
>> Kyle: Hm.
>> Claire: Which is why I would
never leave until things between
his mom and his dad have
been resolved.
>> Kyle: There's some good news
on that front.
>> Claire: Oh?
>> Kyle: Things have calmed
considerably between
Summer and me.
No more finger-pointing
or yelling.
Our lawyers are actually
meeting this afternoon and
I'm hoping we can find
some common ground
on our custody agreement.
>> Claire: Oh, I can't tell you
how relieved I am to hear that.
I...
I ran into Summer earlier
and she seemed optimistic,
but I didn't want to get
my hopes up.
But I'm so happy for you both,
and for Harrison.
>> Kyle: Thanks.
Look, what we needed to do what
was best for our son.
More importantly, we both
realized we want to.
But I have to ask.
Now, that things will be
less tense between
me and Summer,
how do you feel about
staying on as Harrison's nanny?
>> Billy: Co-CEO.
Is this a joke?
>> Chance: You see me laughing?
>> Billy: Well, Chance,
I didn't peg you as
a power-grab type.
>> Chance: Billy, I want all
that comes with working hard
for my family's company.
But this...
is more about making
sure the company's okay.
>> Billy: Well, you're
a good guy. I really--
I really do believe that,
but you, uh...
I mean, as far as business,
you've barely started.
>> Chance: I was in charge of
an entire police force.
>> Billy: Okay.
This is a whole other animal
compared to that.
>> Chance: I think the two have
more in common than you think.
[ Billy sighing ]
>> Billy: Well, look, I know
what it feels like to be in
an interrogation room with you,
so there's that.
>> Chance: Billy,
I've proved myself to you.
You said I pick things up fast,
right? And I know you, Billy.
Under all the bravado,
you had your own doubts about
going into this thing alone.
That's why you asked Lily
to stay on, yeah?
>> Billy: Yeah, well, that was
a mistake.
>> Chance: Well, I guess
I'm gonna have to take
your word for it.
But the reasons that you made
her your partner have not gone
away just because she did.
>> Billy: No, that's
a fair point. Maybe I do need
a yin to my yang, someone with
their feet on the ground.
But, Chance, why would
that be you?
>> Chance: Well, you said you
couldn't trust Lily.
You can trust me.
I'm not the power grab type.
You said it yourself.
I'm not gonna be threatened by
you putting yourself out front.
I don't care.
I'm perfectly content
being the guy that
has your back.
>> Billy: You're serious
about this?
>> Chance: I'm dead serious.
And when Jill comes back,
we can talk about what my role
will be going forward.
But, Billy, right now,
I want this. I want this
to protect the company.
Which, by extension,
means protecting you.
>> Billy: What if I say no?
>> Chance: Well,
then I'll say goodbye.
And good luck.
>> Nikki: Billy's inability
to recognize Lily's value
could mean the beginning
of the end of his very
short-lived reign at Chancellor.
I mean,
other talent is sure to follow
her out the door.
>> Victor: Oh, yeah.
He'd be the only rat
remaining on a sinking ship.
>> Nikki: I know you like Lily.
And it seems like you like her
even more after
your meeting with her.
>> Victor: Well, she came to me
telling me she was looking
for an ally, and she laid
out her terms.
>> Nikki: Really?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Nikki: So she's negotiating
with you?
>> Victor: Mm-hmm.
>> Nikki: I wonder if
she realizes she is in
way over her head.
>> Victor: Well,
I think she deserves something
for her trouble.
>> Nikki: Please tell me
you don't plan to give
her position back to her.
>> Victor: Baby, that position
belongs to you, all right?
But there's nothing wrong
in making her believe
that she can get what she wants.
>> Jack: There's this certainty
to your voice when
we're talking about Billy's
failure, as if it's imminent.
Do you have first-hand
knowledge that there's
some trouble at Chancellor?
>> Lily: I mean, if I--
if I did, I would be
contractually prohibited
from telling you.
>> Jack: Even though
Billy fired you?
>> Lily: I just told Billy that
I thought putting him front and
center of the company was
putting a target on
Chancellor's back.
>> Jack: And he disagreed?
>> Lily: No, he agreed.
He just didn't care.
I mean, look,
you know that any successful
company is going to
have threats, right? Whether
they're real or imagined.
>> Jack: Yeah, I'm dealing with
one of those at Jabot right now.
I'm just not sure what kind.
>> Lily: Yeah, and I think that
we know Billy tends to lose
interest or bring on disaster.
And who's to say he won't
do it again?
>> Jack: So, let me
ask you something.
Why did you decide
to stay on with Billy?
I mean, you could have
gone with Devon and Nate,
worked with family.
It isn't like your opinion
of Billy has changed that much.
You know him as well
as anyone else.
Yet you threw in with him.
>> Lily: Yeah, I did.
>> Jack: So why?
Why would you sign on to
watching Billy
and your own prospects implode?
>> Nikki: I don't think that
lying to someone who
we respect and hope to work with
is the way to go.
>> Victor: Well, let me put it
this way. Billy boy Abbott
left her out of the cold
and I'm determined
to bring her back in.
>> Nikki: In what capacity?
>> Victor: It's up to you.
>> Nikki: Look,
I know what she brings to
the table and I want to find
a place for her.
>> Victor: But you're concerned
that she will want to be
at the head of the table, right?
>> Nikki: Where there is room
for only one person.
>> Victor: And you and I agree
that that is you.
>> Nikki: Okay, before we go
any further, I want to be
upfront with Lily about that.
>> Victor: Yeah.
I will lay out my terms
and she can either
say yay or nay.
>> Lily: I stayed with Billy
for a few reasons, right?
One for Jill.
I respect her and she put me
in this position.
I also care about
Katherine's legacy.
But also, I put a lot of time
and effort into Chancellor
and I figured if I stayed,
I could rein in
Billy's impulses.
And now with no one there to do
that, I'm worried about
what that means for Chancellor.
>> Jack: And he has lost an ally
in you that he really needs
right now.
>> Lily: I can really, really
see that he is struggling.
>> Jack: Almost sounds like
you feel sorry for him.
>> Lily: I just know that
usually his heart is
in the right place.
I just don't know where
his mind is at.
But you know, I think you're
right. I think that there is
this part of him that feels like
he has to prove himself
to everyone.
>> Jack: And you won't be there
to save him when everything
starts to blow up.
>> Lily: But you will.
>> Jack: Well wait, there's that
certainty there when we're
talking about my brother's fate
and Chancellor's fate.
You talk as if it's sealed.
Is there something
you're not telling me?
>> Lily: Yeah, maybe I was
trying to prove
something to people too.
That I could make it work
with Billy and I was wrong.
But, Jack,
he wouldn't listen to me.
Maybe he'll listen to you.
>> Jack: I don't know
about that.
>> Lily: You'll try to look out
for him, right?
>> Jack: Oh, I always try.
>> Lily: I know that you don't
want to see your brother
get hurt anymore.
And I really, really believe
that he has made himself
and Chancellor vulnerable
with this move.
>> Billy: I admire this, Chance.
I do.
You asking for this,
risking your job,
hoping that I'll say yes?
>> Chance: Are you saying yes?
>> Billy: I'll tell you what,
I am going to seriously
consider it.
Why don't you put together
a five-year plan with
projections on where you see
Abbott-Chancellor headed
in the future?
>> Chance: Already done.
I'm going to send it to you now.
That's for the next 10 years.
Once you look that over, Billy,
I think you'll find
I'm the perfect man for the job.
>> Billy: I have decided this
partnership is not going to work
anymore.
I'm going to fly solo
at Abbott-Chancellor, and your
services are no longer needed.
>> Lily: This is unbelievable.
I chose you over my own brother
to stay at Chancellor, which you
begged me to, by the way.
>> Billy: And then you turned
on me. You started throwing
words around like "liability,"
which we've established
goes both ways.
So, I kind of changed
my mind after that.
>> Lily: You act like me saying
that is completely unfounded.
The entire corporate world
thinks that you're a risk.
>> Billy: Well, that's not
something you have to worry
about anymore, Lily.
>> Lily: How can you do this
to Jill and to Katherine?
>> Billy: I'm not doing anything
to them. Just you.
>> Lily: I cannot imagine that
your mother would be okay
with this.
>> Billy: Don't imagine it.
Just let it go.
Appeal to Devon.
Ask him to come back
to the family company.
You're better off that way.
>> Lily: You know what?
Jill is my family.
She's my children's grandmother.
>> Billy: Ish. Lily,
you want to fight me on this?
I don't think so.
You know I have the power
to do it.
>> Lily: I will not let you
take down Chancellor.
>> Billy: Abbott-Chancellor.
And you're missing the point.
I'm the one that's stopping you
from taking it down.
We're done.
>> Claire: If it's up to me,
I won't be leaving my position
as Harrison's nanny
anytime soon.
>> Kyle: And I won't push you
to take a job at Newman
that you might not want.
Harrison adores you.
>> Claire: Well, then I guess
I'll just have to put off
my grandmother.
And the rest of my family.
>> Kyle: If you did leave,
Harrison wouldn't be the only
one that misses you in his life.
I would too.
>> Jack: Thank you.
>> Lily: Well, I really
appreciate you listening.
>> Jack: Oh, I'm going to do
more than listen.
No, I have every intention
of voicing my very strong
objection to Billy's decisions.
Look, I care about
Katherine's legacy too.
And if she were able to voice
her opinion, I'm sure she would
be advocating for you.
I'll go a step farther.
If whatever differences you
and Billy have are
irreconcilable, Billy should be
the one leaving.
>> Lily: Well, I mean,
Jill knows who her son is.
And she put her power
and trust in his hands.
>> Jack: Yeah. She did.
Now, let me see if I can
set this right.
>> Lily: Well, look, I don't
want you fighting my battles
for me.
>> Jack: I have every confidence
you can do that
quite well yourself.
No, I'm going to try to open
my brother's eyes.
Take care.
>> Lily: Bye.
[ phone ringing ]
Victor, hi.
I'm assuming it's good news
if you're calling me so soon.
>> Victor: Lily, I've considered
your proposal.
Can you meet me now
in my office?
>> Lily: I'm on my way.
>> Victor: She's on her way.
>> Claire: Is that what
you wished for before?
On your eyelash?
>> Kyle: Right.
I wish that I could just--
>> Claire: Oh, sorry, no,
you can't tell me.
Or it won't come true.
>> Kyle: Oh.
>> Claire: But I can still
guess.
You wished that
you won't have to find
another nanny for Harrison.
Because I know that you
and Summer had a hard time
agreeing on candidates before.
>> Kyle: Mm, we couldn't even
really agree on you
until lately.
>> Claire: If I stopped working
for you,
we'd still be friends, right?
>> Kyle: I hope so.
I mean,
you're one of the few people
in my life I'm not fighting with
right now.
>> Claire: I have a feeling
things are going to start
getting easier for you now.
>> Kyle: Mm. I hope so.
>> Claire: Did you see those
listings that I sent you?
There's that really nice
two-story, three-bedroom
on Maple.
>> Kyle: I did, I did,
thank you.
Thank you for helping me
house hunt.
>> Claire: Of course.
Harrison made me promise
I'd help you find a place
with a yard big enough for--
>> Kyle: A dog.
>> Claire: A giraffe.
>> Kyle: You know, friends go
to dinner sometimes, right?
>> Claire: I've heard that.
>> Kyle: Or maybe even a movie.
>> Claire: I love movies.
Just not horror, because I think
I've had enough of that.
>> Kyle: Got it.
I mean, would that be weird
because you technically
work for me?
>> Claire: Going to dinner
or a movie?
>> Kyle: Yeah.
>> Claire: I wouldn't be
on the clock, right?
>> Kyle: You would not be.
But yeah, people might get
the wrong idea.
>> Claire: I don't care what
people would say
if they saw us hanging out.
Someone ran my life before
and that's not going to happen
again, so I'm going to do
what I want with who I want.
>> Victor: Lily, please come in.
>> Lily: Hi. Nikki, hi.
>> Nikki: Hi.
I hope you don't mind
my sitting in.
Victor has kept me apprised of
everything that's been happening
at Chancellor.
May I say that I think Billy was
a complete idiot
to have let you go.
>> Lily: Thank you.
I really appreciate that.
So, I'm assuming since
you called me here,
we must have a deal?
>> Victor: Not quite.
>> Claire: So, we're agreed.
Nothing's changing here.
>> Kyle: You're not going
to work for Nikki?
>> Claire: Because I'm not
exactly sure what that job is
or when it will start.
Plus, I love my current job.
>> Kyle: Which will become
easier once Summer and I
finalize our custody agreement.
>> Claire: And I might have
fewer hours with Harrison?
>> Kyle: Maybe not.
He may need help adjusting
to school or to a new home.
Either way, both he and I like
having you around.
>> Claire: Let me know when
that changes.
>> Kyle: It's not
going to happen.
>> Lily: I gave you
the terms of my offer.
>> Victor: So, you help me cut
Billy off at the knees
so we can gain control of
Chancellor, right?
>> Lily: Yes.
You get the company and I will
regain my position as CEO.
So, why do I feel like
this is not a done deal?
>> Nikki: Now,
just hear Victor out.
>> Victor: Let me put it
this way, Lily. Before I agree,
I have to know what kind of
inside information you have.
If it's useful to me.
>> Billy: Jack, stop.
It's not even a good time.
>> Jack: Are you really this
committed to self-sabotage?
>> Billy: I'm assuming
this is about Lily?
Save your breath because I know
what you're going to say.
>> Jack: You need her here,
Billy. You can't do this alone.
>> Billy: You're not the first
one to say that.
>> Jack: Because it's true.
Look, I know you're caring
a lot. I know your personal life
with Chelsea is imploding.
That is no reason to let
this business burn
to the ground.
>> Billy: That's a new way
to describe my flair
for destruction, isn't it?
>> Jack: What, you think
this is funny?
How many times do you have
to fail to start taking life
seriously?
>> Billy: Stop. Jack, stop,
okay? I'm not listening to you.
I'm not listening to anyone
who's going to try and convince
me that I am doomed to fail.
Instead, why don't you support
me in doing right by the two
names that this company bears?
>> Jack: Billy, I'm just--
>> Billy: Stop! Get out!
Out of my office now.
