>> Devon: No, she has not
reached out to me at all.
It's been probably weeks.
>> Nate: Wow, weeks.
I'm gonna give her a call then.
It's been a while.
>> Audra: Well, look who's here.
Hey, guys.
>> Nate: Hey.
>> Audra: I meant
you too, Devon.
>> Devon: Excuse me?
>> Audra: I was just
saying hello.
>> Devon: Oh, hi.
Is that it?
>> Audra: I know you don't
like me.
I've probably given you some
reasons not to,
but can't we figure out a way
to be civil?
>> Devon: I'm being civil.
But why?
>> Audra: I don't know.
>> Nate: Because, uh,
Audra and I are seeing
each other.
And it'd be a little less
awkward for times like this.
>> Devon: Hang on,
you guys are doing what?
[ Audra chuckling ]
>> Kyle: Hey, may I have a latte
with oat milk, one shot
of espresso instead of two?
>> Summer: And an iced
cafe mocha because
this guy loves his chocolate.
>> Kyle: You remembered.
>> Summer: Hasn't been
that long.
Sweet of you to think of me and
to remember that it's one shot
instead of two.
>> Kyle: Learned to never
make that mistake.
>> Summer: I was actually just
gonna place the same order.
Felt like we should be
fortified with our favorite
caffeine before we head into
this meeting with our lawyers.
>> Kyle: Like minds, huh?
>> Summer: Yeah, actually.
>> Kyle: It's been a while
since we've been able to admit
something like that.
>> Summer: Think we can keep it
up for the custody negotiation?
>> Kyle: For Harrison?
We have to.
♪♪
>> Lauren: Thank you.
>> Nikki: Oh, Lauren, I'm sorry.
I hope I'm not too late.
>> Lauren: No, you're right
on time.
>> Nikki: It's so funny.
Ever since I stopped coming
into the office every day, it
seems like I have less time
than I had before.
>> Lauren: That's because
you're used to going
10,000 miles per hour.
>> Nikki: Oh, yeah,
too much time on
my hands, right?
>> Lauren: Maybe.
>> Nikki: Well, it's not
that much.
Let's just leave it at that.
>> Lauren: You're
being mysterious.
>> Nikki: Oh, yeah, right.
So tell me,
what have you been up to?
>> Lauren: Oh, we will get
to that, my friend.
Because I have been dying to
ask you, how on earth did you
agree to allow Adam to run
Newman Media?
>> Nikki: Oh, well,
I didn't exactly agree.
Victor was adamant he wanted
Adam to run things while I took
some time off, and that's what
ended up happening.
>> Lauren: But I thought this
was something that you wanted to
run with Victoria.
>> Nikki: Victor had other plans
for Victoria, and he wanted me
to concentrate on my recovery.
>> Lauren: So,
you just backed off?
>> Nikki: Well...
Yeah.
>> Lauren: That does not sound
like something you would do.
For something that you love so
much, you would back away
so what?
Victor would give Adam his
10,000th second chance?
Something is off with that.
What is it?
>> Nikki: Okay, I didn't
just back off.
>> Lauren: Okay.
>> Nikki: Victor and I are
working on something for me
going forward
that is an absolute secret.
>> Lauren: Oh,
so there is a mystery.
>> Nikki: Yeah,
I guess you were right.
But I can't talk about it.
>> Lauren: I bet I can get it
out of you.
>> Billy: I'm telling you, Rich,
this deal is going to
revolutionize the industry.
It's going to change the way
that we do business,
the way that we operate.
No, I'm sorry, you're going to
have to wait with the rest of
the world until the
Abbott-Chancellor launch,
but you're going to
be there, right?
Okay, listen, I got to run,
but I'll see you soon.
I agree, very exciting.
Okay, see you soon.
>> Chance: That
sounded positive.
>> Billy: Positive?
That was epic right there.
>> Chance: Epic is
good. Loop me in?
>> Billy: Everybody expected me
to screw this up.
They're sitting there waiting,
waiting to say I told you so,
but this deal for this company
is going to change everything.
>> Victor: Yeah, send her in.
>> Lily: Victor.
>> Victor: Lily.
So nice to see you
so soon again.
>> Lily: Yes, well, I want
to move forward with our plan as
quickly as possible before
Billy has a chance
to ruin Chancellor.
>> Victor: I share your concern,
you know.
So, what do you have for me?
>> Lily: I have the key to what
I believe is Billy's downfall.
>> Kyle: I feel good about
this meeting.
Positive that we can hammer out
a revised custody agreement.
>> Summer: Yeah, I do too.
We just need to agree to not
let our lawyers take over and
turn this back into a war.
>> Kyle: I'm totally on board
with that.
>> Summer: We've seen how
they can rev things up
between us.
We cannot let that happen again.
>> Kyle: Yeah. It should be
between us.
Our son, our decisions.
>> Summer: The goal is to agree
on terms.
>> Kyle: Seems weird that
we're actually here
after all these weeks, months.
>> Summer: Yeah, all the anger
and hostility.
>> Kyle: I do not miss that.
>> Summer: Me either.
>> Kyle: I know it's been
hard, Summer.
I've said some things.
>> Summer: We've both
said things that we regret.
That I regret.
>> Kyle: I'm just happy
we're able to talk again.
As two parents of an amazing
kid who we love with
our whole heart.
>> Summer: Who we just want
the best for, always.
>> Kyle: Exactly.
So, when we go in there today,
it's not about our egos or
winning the battle.
It's about Harrison.
>> Summer: Yeah.
>> Kyle: You ready?
>> Summer: Mm.
Ready.
>> Nate: You knew Audra and I
were spending time together.
>> Devon: I did, yeah.
I just thought you guys were
getting lunches and coffees
and stuff.
I didn't think it turned into
something like this.
>> Nate: Well, we're not putting
any labels on it right now.
>> Audra: No, that's right.
It's nothing serious.
We're just enjoying each
other's company.
>> Devon: That's nice.
It's none of my business, so.
>> Audra: But you don't like it.
>> Devon: I didn't say that.
You guys can do
whatever you want.
>> Audra: Okay, well, I guess
this is a no to being civil.
>> Devon: I'm not sure what
you want me to say here.
>> Nate: Oh, I'm sure you've got
plenty to say.
>> Devon: Would you like to hear
everything I have to say?
>> Nate: Not if it's going to be
a lecture about how or with whom
I spend my time.
>> Audra: Okay, let's just stop.
Okay, none of this
is necessary.
I am genuinely fond of Nate.
We are having
a great time together.
No ulterior motives,
no moves on anyone's company.
I am happily running Glissade.
>> Devon: That's the company
you snuck away from
my dad, right?
>> Nate: Wow. Are you defending
Tucker now?
>> Devon: No, absolutely not.
I'm just pointing out that your
girlfriend hasn't changed as
much as she claims she has.
That's all.
If you two
will excuse me, though.
>> Victor: So...
how do you intend to bring
Billy Boy to his knees?
>> Lily: Well, remember,
I was privy to all of these
big plans that he has.
And I even contributed to some
of them before he fired me.
>> Victor: So what does
boy genius want to do now?
>> Lily: Right now, he's focused
on the launch of the new
Abbott-Chancellor.
And he's over-hyping
and over-promising everything.
>> Victor: You should be used
to that by now.
He's a serial blowhard.
>> Lily: Right.
So, he wants to promote the new
company with this deal
that he believes is going to
take Abbott-Chancellor
to the next level.
And I think it's going to make
it sink like a rock.
>> Chance: You cut a deal
to acquire Odyssey Seven?
>> Billy: That's the one.
>> Chance: Wow.
Wow, I knew it was in the works,
but I didn't realize it
was that close.
>> Billy: The owner of
the company is this nerdy kind
of techie kid that nobody can
get a hold of.
I mean, my mom has tried to get
this deal for years, but I got
him and I locked it in.
>> Chance: Congrats.
>> Billy: Thank you.
You don't seem all that excited
about it.
>> Chance: Odyssey Seven,
they mostly do
artificial intelligence, right?
>> Billy: Calling that company
an AI company is like calling
the Grand Canyon a hole
in the ground.
>> Chance: Well, they're not
exactly a natural fit for us.
>> Billy: Chance, they're going
to modernize and streamline
the industry.
I mean, their R&D department
alone is worth it.
This is the future.
The world is going to stop
and take notice.
>> Chance: Of you, right?
>> Billy: Why not me?
>> Victor: So, you're not in
favor of this deal?
>> Lily: I don't think
it's a terrible idea.
I just don't think that it's
very well thought out and how
to integrate it with Chancellor.
I mean, this could create
massive layoffs.
>> Victor: Hm.
Yeah, layoffs unfortunately are
sometimes the result of doing
business, you know?
>> Lily: I know, but I do think
there's a way to bring in
elements of the deal without
compromising everything else
that we do.
>> Victor: You think Billy Boy
could actually pull this off?
>> Lily: I mean, things were
looking pretty good with
the deal right before I left.
He's planning the entire launch
around this deal.
>> Victor: That wouldn't be good
for us now, would it?
>> Lily: But if someone else
were to beat him to the punch,
someone with their
own conglomerate
behind them and superior
negotiating skills...
>> Victor: Would leave him
to scramble
to avoid yet another
humiliation, right?
>> Lily: And when
Billy scrambles,
that's when he's vulnerable.
>> Nikki: I would love to tell
you about our plans,
but I can't.
Not yet.
>> Lauren: Not even a hint?
>> Nikki: All I can say is that
it's going to bring me
a new level
of power and responsibility.
>> Lauren: Bigger than
Newman Media?
>> Nikki: Much bigger.
>> Lauren: Wow.
Well, I am thrilled for you.
For whatever this is.
Because if anyone deserves
a win, it's you.
>> Nikki: Well, thank you.
And I promise you will be among
the first to know
when it's official.
>> Lauren: Well, thank you.
So, when is all this happening?
>> Nikki: Um, I'm not
exactly sure.
I know there has to be a lot of
maneuvering to get things
in place.
[ Lauren sighing ]
>> Lauren: What kind
of maneuvering?
>> Nikki: I'm really not sure
how it's all going to be
accomplished.
I just know that it will be.
>> Lauren: Oh, boy.
I think that Victor is cooking
something up.
And that makes me very nervous.
>> Nikki: Why do you say that?
>> Lauren: Because he called
Michael into a last minute
meeting this morning.
And I'm just hoping whatever
they're talking about is legal
and above board.
>> Nikki: Well, Victor would
never do anything to get Michael
in trouble.
[ Lauren chuckling ]
>> Lauren: Are you sure
about that?
>> Victor: So, in your scenario,
Billy self-destructs.
>> Lily: Isn't that his pattern?
>> Victor: But didn't you say
that he was close
to making a deal?
>> Lily: Yes, but if Newman
Enterprises came in last minute,
Billy would be desperate
to save face in front of Jill
and Jack and everyone else
he's trying to prove himself to.
>> Victor: I like the way
you think.
I bet you would be
good at chess.
>> Lily: Well, I could be good
at a lot of things,
which you'll see
when I'm back running
Chancellor again
under your ownership.
>> Victor: Of course.
Now, I don't recall you
mentioning the name of the
company that Billy was about
to take over.
>> Lily: I never said the name.
>> Victor: No, you haven't.
Something wrong?
>> Lily: I am going to be
running Chancellor again, right?
That's still the plan?
>> Victor: Did I ever say
anything to the contrary?
>> Lily: I'm going to need some
confirmation in writing that
that's actually going to happen.
[ knocking on door ]
>> Michael: Victor, I--
Lily..
>> Lily: Michael.
>> Michael: Hi.
>> Lily: Hi, how are you?
>> Michael: I'm surprised
to see you here.
>> Victor: My consigliere.
The lawyer.
Fixes everything.
>> Chance: I've got to admit,
Billy,
you are pretty damn good
at this.
>> Billy: Gee, thanks.
>> Chance: Locking in a deal
to acquire Odyssey Seven,
that's-- that's huge.
>> Billy: That almost
sounded sincere.
>> Chance: What do you mean?
>> Billy: This tone that you
have with the pat on the back.
What's the problem, Chance?
>> Chance: Well, my problem is,
as great as all this sounds,
it doesn't make my other
concerns about you go away.
>> Billy: Okay, here we go.
>> Chance: I think your shoot
from the hip style, it's going
to come back and bite us in
the ass down the road.
Considering all the chances you
take too, the crash is going
to be a big one.
>> Billy: I just closed
the biggest deal
this company has ever had.
A deal that is going to send
Abbott-Chancellor into the
stratosphere, and you're
talking about a problem that
might happen down the road?
Give me a break.
What do I got to do to prove to
you that I know
what I'm doing here?
>> Chance: I already told you.
Make me your co-CEO.
>> Billy: Look, I just don't see
how making you a partner
is going to prove anything.
>> Chance: Billy, it'll prove
that you're willing
to compromise.
That you recognize the best of
us have limitations, and that
you're not a one-man band.
>> Billy: Okay, right there,
that just shows me that
you don't know
what you're talking about.
>> Chance: How so?
>> Billy: Because if I was
focused on the limitations,
I would have never
made that deal happen.
Sometimes, you got to think big,
you got to not play it safe.
>> Chance: And sometimes,
you got to take a look
at the bigger picture.
>> Billy: Okay, if you were
my co-CEO and you were breathing
down my neck, you think
you would have made that deal
any better? Let me answer that.
It's no.
>> Chance: How do you know?
Maybe I could have improved it.
>> Billy: Probably not.
>> Chance: Billy, this can be
temporary, okay?
When Jill comes back, I will
bump down to whatever position
you think suits me best,
but right now, you need someone
to bounce ideas off.
You need someone to reel you in
every now and then.
And with Lily out of the
picture, I'm your guy.
>> Billy: That was
a good pitch, Chance.
I do appreciate your enthusiasm.
But right now,
we've got bigger fish to fry.
>> Chance: What, are you just
going to blow me off?
>> Billy: No, I'm just saying
we've got to table this
conversation until after
the launch.
>> Chance: Did you even read
my 10-year plan that I sent you?
>> Billy: I did.
And there were some really good
ideas in there.
And when we get a little
breathing room, we can talk
about it, okay?
>> Chance: No, not okay.
>> Billy: Chance, listen to me.
I'm not ruling you out as
co-CEO, but it's not going to
happen right now.
I value what you bring
to this company,
but if I make a decision like
that right now, it's going to
make it look like
we're scrambling.
>> Chance: Or that it's not just
you calling the shots.
>> Billy: You really want
an answer?
Like, now? Today?
>> Chance: I'm not leaving here
without one.
>> Victor: So, once Billy's out
the door,
the plan is for Lily to return
to Chancellor.
>> Michael: Interesting.
But complicated.
>> Victor: Well, you know,
most worthwhile things
are complicated.
I shall think about
your proposal.
And I'm sure we can come to
some agreement.
>> Lily: You know, my father
would love that
we're working together.
I don't think that he would
like how we're going about it,
but he would like that we have
this mutual trust.
>> Victor: You know,
I may have told you this before,
but your father was one
of the few men that I trusted.
He'd be very proud of you today.
>> Lily: He always taught me
to be my own person
and fight for what's mine.
And I'm not asking for
a handout here, Victor.
I have a proven track record.
And I just want back
what's rightfully mine.
>> Victor: I'll be in touch.
>> Lily: Good to
see you, Michael.
>> Michael: You too.
Well, well, well.
A man with so many surprises.
>> Victor: Yeah, well...
should be no surprise to you
that I...
I like Lily. I value her.
>> Michael: Yes.
But you're obviously leading
her on to get information,
when you and I both know that
the job she thinks she's getting
is going to Nikki.
>> Victor: I do
what I have to do.
>> Michael: Trust me,
I do know that.
But in Lily's case, Victor,
do you think it's wise?
Aren't we playing with
fire here?
>> Billy: You want an answer,
I'll give it to you.
I've listened to your demands.
I appreciate what you bring to
this company.
In this moment,
the answer is no.
>> Chance: Can I ask why?
>> Billy: Chance, you're just
not ready for this position.
You've been in the business for
like five minutes and all of
a sudden, you want to be a boss?
It's just not going to happen.
>> Chance: Well,
that's too bad, Billy.
>> Billy: Come on, man.
Are you really surprised I'm
not going to make you a co-CEO?
>> Chance: I thought it was
a good move for the company.
Thought it might even put
Jill's mind at ease
while she's recovering.
>> Billy: So, my being in charge
puts my mother's health at risk?
Is that what you're saying?
>> Chance: Billy, that's not
what I said.
>> Billy: Sure sounded like it.
I mean, that's what
you're implying.
So, let me just remind you.
My mother put me in charge.
When she knew what she was
dealing with, all her health
concerns, she put me in charge.
She didn't put you in charge,
okay? I know that sucks.
I'm sorry,
but that's the reality.
>> Chance: Well then,
I have my answer. Thanks.
>> Billy: Chance, I still want
you to stay on as COO.
>> Chance: I don't think
that's possible.
>> Billy: So,
it's all or nothing?
>> Chance: Billy, I gave you
my reasoning and you chose
to dismiss it.
So there's not much more to say.
>> Billy: Why are you being
so difficult? We have checks
and balances in place.
Chief Operating Officer is
a good position for you.
>> Chance: Until I disagree with
anything you say.
You'll shut me down every time.
>> Billy: No, I will listen
to your advice.
>> Chance: No.
In the end, it doesn't matter.
Because you're going to do it
your way.
As far as you're concerned,
that's the only way.
>> Billy: Okay,
if you're going to walk,
I can't stop you.
But let me just warn you.
You walk through this door,
there's no coming back,
you hear me?
So, what's it going to be?
[ Kyle laughing ]
>> Kyle: Did that just happen?
>> Summer: I think it did.
>> Kyle: So, it's over?
It's done?
>> Summer: It's finally over.
>> Kyle: Amazing,
just like that.
>> Summer: Could we have
two champagnes, please?
>> Kyle: So, you're sure you're
okay with the new
custody arrangement?
It's not that different
than the one we had before.
>> Summer: Well, I get more
overnights with Harrison,
and we split holidays or have
them together as a family.
Our mutual choice.
And if one of us wants to go
out of town with Harrison--
>> Kyle: We give each other
a heads-up.
>> Summer: I'm happy.
Are you?
>> Kyle: I am.
And you know who's gonna be
the happiest?
Harrison.
>> Summer: The one who counts
the most.
>> Kyle: Mm-hmm. Oh!
>> Summer: Ah! Thank you.
>> Kyle: Thanks.
>> Summer: I'm proud of us.
>> Kyle: Me too.
>> Summer: Kind of amazing.
After all these months of
fighting, we found a way
to meet in the middle.
>> Kyle: No, don't tell me
we're turning into grown-ups.
>> Summer: Nah. Never.
>> Kyle: Well, it does feel like
I have a 10,000-pound rock
lifted off my shoulder, so...
Can we please never,
ever, ever do this again?
>> Summer: We are going to have
disagreements.
>> Kyle: Oh, I know. But when
you've got a problem with me,
or vice versa,
we deal with each other.
No more lawyers.
We leave them at home. Deal?
>> Summer: Deal.
Kyle?
>> Kyle: I see her.
>> Summer: Speaking of
disagreements.
>> Kyle: I know.
>> Summer: I really hope
you meant what you said about
getting rid of that woman.
>> Kyle: I am working on it,
but it's tricky.
Trust me.
I want her out of my life
as badly as you do.
>> Victor: I know
what I'm doing, okay?
Nothing for you to worry about.
>> Michael: Well, I'm sure
you've thought through your plan
very, very carefully.
>> Victor: I have.
But you don't agree?
>> Michael: I don't mean
to be disrespectful.
I know I've got a ways to go
before winning your trust back
completely, but do you really
just want me to nod my head
and say yes to whatever you're
doing, or do you want me
to give you sage advice
as your excellent counselor?
>> Victor: Just say
what you have to say.
>> Michael: Are you still
planning to put Nikki
in charge of Chancellor,
uh, if--
No, when you acquire
the company?
>> Victor: Yeah.
>> Michael: I have no doubt
that she will shine
in the role eventually.
>> Victor: What do you mean,
"eventually"?
>> Michael: Nikki's never worked
at Chancellor before.
Given the circumstances,
don't you think Lily would be
a prime asset to Nikki?
>> Victor: Yeah.
And Nikki agrees, all right?
However, not for Lily to be
in a position of power.
>> Michael: Mm-hmm. That's--
that's where I see the problem.
Lily's been the boss
and she's excelled at it.
Do you really think
that she will accept
the secondary position after
making her believe that she's
gonna get the top job
in exchange for whatever
alliance she's offering?
>> Victor: Well, if she
understands the scenario,
she'll come around.
>> Michael: I wouldn't be
so sure about that.
>> Billy: Excuse me.
Uh, can I get a bourbon
on the rocks, please?
Actually, I heard you got a new
Japanese whiskey back there.
I'll have one of those
because I am celebrating.
>> Devon: Enjoy yourself while
you can, Billy.
Because kicking Lily out of
Chancellor is the biggest
mistake of your life.
[ Nate sighing ]
>> Audra: You're still upset
about Devon?
>> Nate: Nope.
>> Audra: You can tell me
the truth.
>> Nate: It's just irritating.
My cousin walks around like
he has a halo over
his head sometimes.
>> Audra: Well, since
I'm clearly still one
of Devon's favorite people,
maybe I should have a talk
with him.
>> Nate: Very funny.
>> Audra: Look, I don't care
what he thinks, as long as I'm
one of your favorite people.
>> Nate: Of course, you are.
>> Audra: Did you order this?
>> Nate: Uh, no.
No, I didn't.
>> Kyle: Like the wine?
>> Nate: Uh, nice bottle.
Are we, uh,
celebrating something?
>> Kyle: Well, consider it
a gesture of team-building
for Audra and me.
I also had a pretty good day
personally, so why not pay it
forward with an excellent
Pinot Noir?
>> Audra: Well, why don't you
join us and sample
some yourself?
>> Kyle: Sure, I'm not
interrupting.
>> Audra: Oh, not at all.
>> Nate: Well, uh, thank you.
Can we get another glass?
It's, uh, nice to see things
are starting to get better
between the two of you.
>> Kyle: Oh, we're a work
in progress.
Right, partner?
>> Audra: Oh, yeah, I couldn't
have said it any better myself.
>> Nate: And that's a credit
to the two of you.
It can't be easy being forced
to work together by--
>> Audra: Our mystery
benefactor.
>> Nate: Right, right.
You know, Audra still won't
tell me who bought Glissade out
from under Tucker,
but I will raise a glass.
>> Audra: Yes.
>> Nate: To whoever he
or she is.
>> Kyle: Sorry, Nate.
You're not gonna get
the name out of me either.
Loyalty is far too important.
>> Victor: Oh, my darling,
we were just talking about you.
>> Nikki: Am I interrupting?
>> Victor: No.
>> Michael: All good, I promise.
>> Nikki: Well, Lauren and I
were just talking about
the two of you, too.
>> Victor: Oh.
>> Michael: Oh, that's right.
You had lunch.
>> Nikki: Yes, and she brought
up something that I find
rather concerning.
>> Michael: Oh?
>> Nikki: We were talking about
my upcoming position.
Not naming it, of course.
And she said that she hoped
you and Victor weren't planning
to skirt the law
to help me get it.
>> Michael: Where did that
come from?
>> Nikki: I don't know,
but I haven't been able
to get it out of my head
since she said it.
So, are you?
>> Michael: Nikki, I assure you,
that I have not been asked
to do anything illegal here.
>> Nikki: Victor, is that right?
>> Victor: Sweetheart, there's
nothing for you to worry about.
Everything is going in
accordance with our plan.
>> Billy: Mm.
That is smooth.
And just to be clear,
I am talking about the whiskey,
not your threat.
>> Devon: I have no reason
to threaten someone who's
already on their way down.
Don't worry.
>> Billy: You know, Devon,
I'm only going one direction,
and that is up.
>> Devon: Up in flames, Billy.
>> Billy: Keep your eye
on the space, Devon.
You're about to be dazzled.
[ Devon scoffs ]
>> Devon: By what?
>> Billy: Mm.
Well, you'll find out with
the rest of the world, but let
me tell you, it's bigger than
anything you could imagine.
And the cherry on top is,
I did it myself.
>> Devon: Well, you can
certainly say that now,
since you sandbagged my sister,
right?
>> Billy: Right, because your
sister's an innocent victim
in all of this?
>> Devon: I don't think
she deserves you cutting her
loose the way you did.
>> Billy: Even though that's
what she planned on doing me
from day one?
Because your sister lured me
into a phony partnership,
knowing that she was going
to patiently wait for her
opportunity to give me the axe.
So, I beat her to the punch.
What are you going to do?
>> Devon: Sounds like paranoia,
if you ask me.
>> Billy: Oh, you know damn well
it's not paranoia because you
knew about the plan.
And yet here I am and your
sister's looking for a job.
>> Devon: Nowhere is where
you are, Billy.
>> Billy: We'll see about that.
>> Devon: We absolutely will see
about that because I don't
think Chancellor stands
a shot in hell
without Lily's leadership.
>> Billy: You think Lily's
so amazing, why don't you hire
her back at Winters?
Get the band back together.
>> Chance: Okay, I want to hear
all about the custody meeting.
I want to hear every detail.
I know it went great, but I got
to get something out
before I explode.
>> Summer: Okay, then
by all means, you go ahead.
>> Chance: I'm walking away
from Chancellor.
>> Summer: What happened?
>> Chance: I made a play
and it didn't work.
So, I told Billy I was out.
>> Summer: Was this the radical,
risky move that I encouraged you
to take?
Chance, I'm so sorry.
>> Chance: No, no, no, don't be.
I'm not.
I felt liberated.
You know, I offered Billy
an ultimatum.
I said you either make me
partner or I walk.
And, uh, well,
he was having none of that.
So, I quit.
>> Summer: Well, Billy is a fool
for letting you go.
>> Chance: Billy's a fool
for a lot of reasons,
but I don't think
I'm very high on that list.
>> Summer: I got to admit,
I'm kind of surprised.
>> Chance: Yeah?
I feel like we've been talking
about me leaving
for a couple weeks now.
>> Summer: But you've been
agonizing over it.
And then Billy turns you down
once, and you just walk away.
It doesn't really sound
like you.
>> Chance: I know, but trust me,
if I would have stayed,
I would have ended up
just like Lily.
Dealing with a megalomaniac,
feeling frustrated
and angry every day.
I don't want to live
in that kind of world.
You know?
Life's way too damn short.
>> Summer: I get it.
I do.
I mean, have you spoken
to Jill about it?
>> Chance: No, but I plan to.
>> Summer: Okay, well, you might
want to do that sooner rather
than later, so that Billy
doesn't get to her first
and spin it like you're the bad
guy in this situation.
>> Chance: Well, I don't know
how he can. I mean, first Lily,
now me.
Eventually, Jill's going to see
Billy for who he really is and
that nobody can work with him.
>> Summer: Yeah.
It's just a shame.
I know you had such high
hopes for this.
>> Chance: Yeah, I know I did,
but at the end of the day,
I got to be true to myself.
You know, I asked myself,
"Would I be willing
to live with this?"
The answer's no.
>> Summer: It might be too soon,
but have you thought about
what you want to do next?
>> Chance: I have.
I'm not sure
you're going to like it.
>> Chance: Thank you.
>> Summer: So, this job that
I'm not going to like,
is it going to take you
far away?
>> Chance: No.
>> Summer: Because I know you've
worked all over the world.
>> Chance: Yeah, well, I think
there's a better chance that
this will keep me here.
>> Summer: Okay.
>> Chance: But this job has got
other drawbacks.
>> Summer: Would one of
the drawbacks be, um...
people potentially shooting
at you?
>> Chance: Summer, I--
>> Summer: Chance, it's okay.
It's okay.
I figured when you said
it was something that
I wouldn't like.
You're thinking about
going back to police work.
>> Chance: Maybe.
I don't know.
Look, I gave the family
business a shot.
There were things that
I liked about it.
There were things that
I obviously didn't like
about it.
But when I weigh it all out,
yeah.
Yeah, I can see myself going
back to the force.
It's who I am.
It's where I feel
most comfortable.
>> Summer: Well, you're right.
I am not thrilled.
Your mom's gonna be even
less thrilled.
>> Chance: Yeah, I know.
I'm saving that phone call
for later.
But, uh, nothing's set
in stone yet.
I would be lying to you,
though, if I said I haven't
been thinking about it.
>> Summer: I-- I get it.
It makes sense.
Although, I do find it a little
ironic that you'd rather be
chasing bad guys and dodging
bullets than working
with Billy.
>> Devon: You really think
you have it all figured out,
don't you?
>> Billy: No, I don't.
>> Devon: No?
>> Billy: But I'm off
to a good start.
>> Devon: Mm. I don't think
you have a clue of what you've
lost in Lily because she could
have propped you up, but now
you're just gonna sink
all on your own.
>> Billy: You know, Devon,
I really do appreciate
how much you support
your sister.
But we were never
on the same page.
Turns out she couldn't be
trusted.
So, if you are gonna hire her
back at Winters, I suggest that
you watch your back.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go celebrate
somewhere else.
>> Devon: Hey.
>> Lily: What was that about?
>> Devon: I was just reminding
Billy of what an idiot he is
for letting you go.
>> Lily: Well, thank you
for defending me,
but I can fight my own battles.
And trust me,
I am all over this one.
>> Kyle: Well, I've gotta
get going.
>> Audra: Leaving so soon?
>> Kyle: Big day tomorrow.
You guys enjoy the rest
of the wine.
I'll see you at the office
in the morning.
>> Audra: Can't wait.
>> Nate: Look, before you say
anything, I wasn't gonna
reveal Victor's name.
>> Audra: I know, Nate.
But what if Kyle suspects
I told you Victor was
our silent partner?
>> Nate: I thought we covered it
pretty well.
>> Audra: I should have never
asked him to join us.
You know, Kyle's just waiting
to get anything
to smear me with.
>> Nate: Does he have any proof
you told me anything?
No.
So relax, and let's enjoy
the rest of this fine bottle
of Pinot Noir.
>> Victor: Kyle,
what can I do for you?
>> Kyle: We need to meet
to discuss Audra.
>> Victor: Is there a problem?
>> Kyle: I just found out
she can't be trusted.
