>> Adam: So, did uh,
Connor say anything more to you
this morning?
>> Chelsea: When I left him,
he was playing video games.
>> Adam: So, he just...
He just dropped this bomb about
the three of us getting back
together as a family,
and that was it?
>> Chelsea: He must have been
thinking about it and wanted
to get it off his chest.
>> Adam: But why?
I mean, where is that even
coming from?
>> Chelsea: I have no idea.
He must have thought he sensed
something between us, or maybe
because Billy and Sally haven't
been around lately.
>> Adam: I don't think we've
been acting any differently.
>> Chelsea: Well...
>> Adam: I mean, yes,
we know what happened,
but I don't think we
gave any of that away
to Connor.
>> Chelsea: Well, it doesn't
really matter.
We just have to make sure
that we don't give any more
false hope to our son that
his parents are getting
back together.
>> Adam: No.
Of course, we can't.
>> Chelsea: I mean, it wouldn't
be fair to him, you know?
And we have the OCD
to think about.
He can't have any setbacks
right now, Adam.
He's been doing so well.
>> Adam: Chelsea, I'm--
I'm hearing you, okay?
I'm on your side with this.
>> Chelsea: I know.
This one just hit me hard.
Because I really...
I really thought Connor had
accepted the fact that the two
of us were never going to be
a couple again.
♪♪
>> Victoria: You haven't said
anything about my proposal.
>> Victor: Well, my darling,
what proposal are we
talking about?
>> Victoria: About Billy.
>> Victor: About
Billy Boy Abbott.
The gift that keeps on giving.
>> Victoria: Dad, I know that
you're not keen on my idea about
buying Billy out of Chancellor,
but I was hoping that you might
reconsider.
>> Victor: Not going to happen.
>> Victoria: Why not?
If it's about the financial
outlay, I would be more than
happy to dip into
my own accounts.
>> Victor: Not about the money.
>> Victoria: I seriously don't
understand this.
>> Victor: Sweetheart,
it's about business.
It's a business decision,
that's all.
>> Victoria: No, I'm supposed
to believe that this is all just
about good business.
>> Victor: Yeah, it is.
>> Victoria: Never mind that
the man that you want
to humiliate and destroy is
the father of my children,
your grandchildren.
>> Victor: I am fully aware
of that.
>> Victoria: Mom, would you
please help me out here?
>> Nikki: Darling, I'm with
your father on this.
I mean, even if Billy were
to agree to a buyout, he can't
be trusted to follow through
with the deal.
I understand that you are
concerned about the kids
and that you still have warm
feelings for Billy,
but you can't always
bail him out.
>> Victor: Hey, son.
>> Nick: Hey.
>> Nikki: Nicholas,
is everything all right?
>> Nick: No, it isn't.
>> Mariah: Mom?
>> Sharon: Oh, Mariah?
What do you need?
>> Mariah: I'm here, in Madison.
>> Sharon: What?
In Madison? Why?
>> Mariah: I wanted to join you
for the Cassidy First meeting.
I'm actually outside
your door right now.
I'm knocking.
Where are you?
Mom?
Is everything all right?
>> Sharon: I, uh...
Hang on.
I was just--
>> Cameron: I told you
your family was going
to check your story.
How are you going to get
yourself out of this?
>> Phyllis: Um, well,
hey, good to see you two.
>> Adam: Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
Um, is Connor here?
>> Chelsea: Uh, no.
Connor's back at the apartment.
>> Phyllis: Oh.
How is he doing?
>> Adam: He's a lot better.
Thank you for asking.
>> Chelsea: Hi, Billy.
>> Billy: Hi.
>> Phyllis: Um, well,
he's in a hurry.
Um, excuse me.
>> Adam: Well, that was awkward.
>> Chelsea: Billy's angry.
Can you blame him?
>> Adam: No.
I just thought he would put on
a better act than that.
>> Phyllis: Pretty frosty there
between you and Chelsea.
>> Billy: Chelsea said hi.
I said hi. What's the problem?
>> Phyllis: No problem.
But please, please tell me she--
she didn't dump you for Adam.
>> Nikki: Nicholas, please.
Talk to us.
>> Nick: It's Sharon.
She's really struggling.
>> Nikki: Well, you told us
there was no reason
to be concerned.
What has changed?
>> Nick: She's lashing out
at Daniel and Lucy.
>> Victor: What do you mean
by lashing out?
>> Nick: We were all at Society,
and, um, Daniel, Heather,
and Lucy showed up.
Lucy asked to speak to Faith,
I'm assuming to apologize
for the accident yet again.
But Sharon got really upset,
yelled at Daniel, and then
rushed Faith out of there.
>> Victoria: I can understand
her still being upset, Nick.
>> Nick: Yeah, but it's beyond
upset at this point, and it's
not an isolated incident.
>> Victoria: What do you think
is going on?
>> Nick: I-- I don't know.
I-- I don't know what to think.
But I think this goes back
to what happened with Cassie.
Faith's accident, it really
triggered some of those
terrible memories for Sharon.
>> Victoria: I can understand
how hard it must be for Sharon
to lose a child and then
to think that it could happen
again. How does somebody
get over that?
>> Nick: You don't.
You know, you just try
and come to terms with it.
I thought that Sharon had.
But every time she is around
Daniel and Lucy, it just really
sets her off.
>> Victor: Have you spoken
to her?
>> Nick: We've tried.
>> Nikki: And?
>> Nick: And Sharon just,
you know, she shrugs it off.
She claims she's just agitated
from her new meds.
>> Victoria: Do you believe her?
>> Nick: I don't know, Vic.
I don't know what to believe.
Mariah, Faith, and I, we're
doing everything we can to try
and figure it out.
>> Victor: But son,
this is not Faith's job.
>> Nick: I know, Dad, but she is
very concerned about her mother.
You know, we're doing
everything we can to try
and connect with Sharon,
but that just makes her push us
away even more.
I mean, she's at the point now
where she is actively
avoiding us so we don't have
to deal with it.
>> Nikki: And yet you still keep
trying to help her.
>> Nick: Look, I know that none
of you are particularly big fans
of Sharon, but instead of
criticizing the way I'm trying
to handle this, I was really
hoping for some much needed
family advice.
>> Mariah: Mom?
Mom, are you still there?
>> Sharon: Sorry.
>> Mariah: What happened?
>> Sharon: I was just taking
a sip of water.
>> Mariah: Oh, okay.
Well, I'm still
outside your door.
Can you let me in?
>> Sharon: I can't.
>> Mariah: Why can't you?
>> Sharon: I'm not there.
I was feeling a little bit
lightheaded, so I went out
to take a walk and get some air
before the meeting.
>> Mariah: Okay. Well,
I don't like the sound of that.
>> Sharon: I'm fine, honey.
I was just a little bit dizzy.
I'll be okay.
>> Mariah: Well, where are you?
Maybe I could meet up with you.
>> Sharon: No, that won't be
necessary.
>> Mariah: Mom, if you're not
feeling well, you should come
back to the hotel and rest.
I can handle the meeting.
>> Sharon: There is no meeting
anymore.
>> Mariah: What?
>> Sharon: Yeah, well,
I was out walking,
the CEO we've been speaking
to, he called me to let me know
that his flight had been
canceled and we need
to reschedule.
>> Mariah: So, you came all
the way to Madison for nothing?
>> Sharon: Well, it looks like
we both did.
Sorry, honey.
I will see you at home.
Love you. Bye.
>> Mariah: Mom.
>> Adam: So, is this how
it's going to be now?
Every time that we see Billy
or Sally, we get to feel guilty
all over again?
>> Chelsea: We hurt them both.
Badly.
We're going to have to live
with the consequences of that.
>> Adam: Chelsea, I got it.
You're right.
I just, I don't like the way
Billy blew you off like that.
>> Chelsea: Adam--
>> Adam: It's not like he's
never been guilty
of the same thing.
>> Chelsea: I cheated on him
twice. Both times with you.
I don't think he will ever
forgive me.
>> Adam: Well,
never is in a long time.
>> Chelsea: We're just gonna
have to live with it.
For now.
And if we bump into them
and it's uncomfortable,
I guess we're going to have
to live with that too.
>> Adam: Do you think
they're talking about us?
>> Phyllis: Well,
now this makes sense.
>> Billy: I'm not going
to ask you what you mean.
>> Phyllis: I mean, the look of
hatred that you gave Chelsea
when we walked in,
when you saw her with Adam--
>> Billy: Phyllis, can you
please stop, okay?
She did not leave me for Adam.
>> Phyllis: All right,
my mistake.
>> Billy: They are not back
together, I guarantee you that.
Now can we stop talking
about it, please?
>> Phyllis: Mm. Well, unless
my perceptions are wrong,
something has happened between
the two of them.
>> Billy: Phyllis, I just said
I don't want to talk about it.
>> Phyllis: Nothing romantic,
but they've gotten closer.
>> Billy: Phyllis, stop.
>> Phyllis: It's just
a observation.
I'm observing.
>> Billy: No, you're not just
observing. You're digging
for gossip or whatever it is
your tricky mind is
conjuring up, okay?
And this is after I told you
that my personal life is off
limits just like yours is
off for me.
Do not make me regret
hiring you, please.
>> Phyllis: Oh, are you
threatening me now?
>> Billy: No, this is a request
to just mind your own business.
>> Phyllis: Okay, Billy,
I'll do that.
That's what I'll do.
That's fine as far as it goes.
>> Billy: What is that
supposed to mean?
>> Phyllis: Well, what it means
is we're working together now.
There's a certain amount of
your personal life that I need
to know about.
I do, yes, I do.
Because if there's bad blood
between you and Chelsea or
you and Adam,
I need to know about that.
Because that will inevitably
affect you, which will affect
me, and it will affect
our working relationship, right?
It will have an impact
on our company, definitely.
And I'm not looking for gossip,
by the way.
Maybe it will help you to talk
to a friend about it.
>> Billy: Phyllis, I'm fine.
>> Phyllis: Well,
you don't look fine.
You're about to explode.
>> Victoria: You know, that's
not exactly fair, Nicholas.
Saying that we all have issues
with Sharon. I mean,
she practically saved my life
not that long ago.
We're not best friends
or anything, but I certainly
don't wish her any harm.
>> Nikki: And I have made it
very clear, several times,
that the past is in the past
and we've all moved on.
Now, how can we help?
>> Nick: I don't know.
Sorry, I'm on edge.
I just, uh, needed somebody
to talk to about this.
>> Victor: Well, now, son, what
do you think is wrong with her?
>> Nick: That's the thing, Dad.
I don't know. We're not sure.
>> Victoria: But she has
a doctor, right?
>> Nick: Yeah, she's got
a doctor, but we don't know if
she's keeping up with
her appointments or being even
honest with him.
>> Nikki: And you keep saying
that she's having trouble
adjusting to her new medication,
but that's been going on
for a while, right?
>> Nick: Yeah, a few weeks,
maybe a month.
>> Nikki: Do you know if
she's even taking it?
>> Nick: I mean,
we think she is, Mom.
>> Victoria: We? We who?
>> Nick: Me, Mariah, and Faith.
>> Victoria: So, you've all
discussed this and you're all
that worried?
>> Victor: Son, you can't be
watching her 24/7.
>> Nick: Yeah, I know, Dad,
but we've done everything we can
to press Sharon to get the help
she needs, and it's not working.
I mean, I'm to the point now
where I think I should just
bypass Sharon and go directly
to her doctor myself.
>> Cameron: You never should
have cut her off.
Now, Mariah is never
gonna let this go.
>> Sharon: I didn't know
what else to say to her.
>> Cameron: Well, you better
think of something quick.
[ phone ringing ]
You need to answer that.
If you don't, she's just gonna
keep calling back.
Or worse, they're gonna stake
out your hotel room, find out
you never made it to Madison
in the first place.
Sharon, answer the phone!
>> Sharon: Okay.
Hello?
>> Mariah: Hi, Mom you--
you hung up before
I got a chance to finish.
>> Sharon: Did I?
I'm sorry.
>> Mariah: Are you mad at me
or something?
>> Sharon: No, no, sweetie.
I just, I must not have heard
you, that's all.
>> Mariah: Okay.
Fine.
No biggie.
>> Sharon: Well, I'm glad
you called back because I'll
see you at home later.
>> Mariah: Wait, Mom.
>> Sharon: What is it?
>> Mariah: Uh, I mean,
it's a gorgeous day here
in Madison, and now that we're
both here, maybe we could
hang out, you know?
Go for a walk
or get something to eat.
That's probably why you got
lightheaded and skipped lunch.
>> Sharon: I already ate
something, so that won't be
necessary. Let's just meet up
when we get home.
>> Mariah: Almost sounds like
you're trying to get rid of me.
>> Sharon: I just needed some
time to myself.
That's not news to anyone.
>> Mariah: I know, that's--
that's true, but you don't
really sound like yourself
right now.
>> Sharon: I'm perfectly fine.
>> Mariah: Mom, I would really
like to see you before
we head back.
>> Sharon: And I just explained
to you that I can't.
>> Mariah: No, you didn't really
explain anything, actually.
And I'm really starting to--
>> Sharon: Mariah, stop it!
Stop pretending like this is
some kind of social call
to spend more time
with your mother.
You came to Madison to check up
on me, didn't you?
>> Mariah: No, that's--
that's not why--
>> Sharon: Of course, you did.
This was never about
attending this meeting.
You came here to make sure
I wasn't off somewhere,
spinning out.
>> Mariah: Mom,
that is not true.
>> Sharon: It's all starting
to come together for me now.
>> Mariah: What are you
talking about?
>> Sharon: This constant demand
for my attention lately.
It makes me wonder if Faith
really did urgently need
to speak to me and Nick.
Because when I talked to her,
she was fine.
And then all of a sudden,
there was this crisis.
Is this just some kind of
excuse or ploy on Nick's part
to get me to come home?
>> Mariah: Mom, I would really
like to talk face-to-face,
please.
>> Sharon: Tell me the truth,
Mariah.
Were you and Faith waiting
for me at home?
Waiting to interrogate
and question me about my mental
health some more?
>> Mariah: Well, Mom, if you're
accusing us of worrying about
you, then yes, we are.
>> Sharon: And I keep telling
you all to stop worrying and
give me some room to breathe.
The way you're treating me,
it makes me feel worse.
>> Mariah: We don't want
to do that.
>> Sharon: Well, you are,
Mariah, and it has got to stop.
My God, do you all really think
that I'm that far gone?
>> Billy: You're not going
to let this go, are you?
>> Phyllis: Oh, well, how long
have you known me?
>> Billy: Too long, it feels
like, sometimes.
[ Billy sighing ]
Look,
when Chelsea and Adam were
in Baltimore with Connor,
they slept together.
>> Phyllis: Oh, I'm sorry.
>> Billy: Yeah, so am I.
>> Phyllis: Did it happen
just once?
>> Billy: Does it make
a difference?
>> Phyllis: Well,
sometimes it does.
>> Billy: That's what
Chelsea said.
I guess I believe her.
I mean, I do believe her.
>> Phyllis: You know,
given everything that's been
going on with their son,
it-- I mean, it makes sense
that maybe they got closer
in just some fashion.
>> Billy: Thanks for that.
So, that's the visual
that I need right now.
I appreciate that, Phyllis.
>> Phyllis: No, I mean,
it's just that they've been
spending a lot of time together,
and, you know, it's just
one thing leads to another.
>> Billy: Well, what I do know
is that Adam is a sociopath,
and I'm sure that he used
Chelsea's vulnerability
to get her into bed.
I'd bet my life on that.
>> Phyllis: Do you think
it really happened like that?
>> Billy: I mean, he's devoid of
morals, values, integrity,
all of it. I mean, he's proven
that over and over again.
>> Phyllis: I'm not gonna argue
about Adam's character.
That's for sure. I'm not.
But, I mean, the truth is,
we don't really know
what happened.
>> Billy: What I know is that
Chelsea was devastated
by what happened,
and she agonized over it
for days before telling me.
And Adam, on the other hand,
he stonewalled Sally.
Even after Chelsea admitted
the truth, he denied it
and denied it. So, that should
say something about Adam.
In fact, that says
everything about him.
>> Phyllis: We know what it
also says? It says that you
don't really blame Chelsea
for this.
That's what I'm hearing.
Maybe you can forgive her.
>> Chelsea: What are they even
doing together?
>> Adam: Phyllis and Billy?
>> Chelsea: Yeah.
I saw her at Billy's office
the other day, too.
>> Adam: I don't know.
And I don't care.
Frankly, I think those two were
made for each other.
I'm sorry.
That was insensitive.
>> Chelsea: Yes. Considering how
I feel about Billy,
that was very insensitive.
>> Adam: I know.
I promise I'll keep my mouth
shut about him.
He did do something very kind
for Connor by taking the rap
for the breakup.
Although Connor didn't
believe it.
>> Chelsea: How do you know
Connor didn't believe it?
>> Adam: Because he's not
a dumb kid.
I mean, we're his parents,
after all.
>> Chelsea: Lucky him.
>> Adam: And he wouldn't be
talking about us getting back
together if he really thought
the reason for the split was
Billy's work.
Chelsea, he senses something.
And us wishing that he wasn't
isn't going to make it go away.
>> Victoria: Sharon's doctor
won't talk to you.
>> Victor: What if you convince
the doctor that Sharon's life
is in danger?
>> Nikki: Do you really think
she would harm herself?
>> Nick: I don't think so.
Not intentionally, anyway.
>> Victor: Well, then her doctor
won't help you.
>> Victor: Well, there are ways,
you know,
to speak to him correctly.
>> Victoria: Do you mean by
bullying him or threatening him?
Is that what you would do?
>> Victor: I beg your pardon?
>> Nick: Okay, this isn't
helping.
>> Victoria: I'm sorry.
>> Victor: Go on, son.
>> Nick: Look, I don't for one
second think Sharon's doctor is
just going to open up her
chart to me.
I was thinking more along
the lines of I just go to him
and tell him exactly what
I know, what I've seen, so at
least he'd have, you know,
a complete picture
of what's going on.
>> Victoria: Well, she might see
that as a betrayal
and completely shut you out.
>> Nick: Well, I've thought
about that, Vic, but I think
it's a risk I have to take.
>> Victor: I have a suggestion.
Why don't you take Faith out of
the whole scenario?
>> Nick: What do you mean?
What?
>> Victor: She has been around
Sharon enough to see her
spin out once or twice before.
Have her live with you
for a while.
>> Nick: She's not
going to do that.
>> Victor: Son, you're
her father. Talk her into it.
Have her stay with you
for a while.
That girl has been through
enormous trauma.
She doesn't need to see her
mother spin out again.
>> Nick: That girl is
a 21-year-old woman who cares
very deeply about her mother.
She's very concerned about her
and wants to do everything
she can to help her.
Shutting her out is
not the answer.
>> Victor: Well then, son,
what is?
>> Victoria: Look, if Faith is
that upset, then she needs
reassurance. Soon.
I'm starting to warm up
to the idea of giving the doctor
all of the facts.
>> Nikki: So am I.
If Sharon is as evasive as it
sounds, what other choice
do you have?
>> Mariah: No one is trying
to trick you into doing
something that you're not
comfortable with.
>> Sharon: Well, it seems that
way to me.
>> Mariah: The only thing any of
us care about is that you're
okay, but can we please,
please just continue
this conversation face-to-face?
>> Cameron: Moment of truth.
>> Mariah: Mom? Mom?
Mom, please don't hang up
on me again.
>> Sharon: I am not going
to hang up.
>> Mariah: Okay.
Great.
Where are you?
>> Sharon: I'm not in Madison.
>> Mariah: What?
>> Sharon: I never went there
at all.
>> Mariah: I am so confused.
Why?
>> Sharon: For all of
the reasons that I mentioned
before. I knew what was coming
when I got home last night.
All of the questions,
the insinuations,
the constant scrutiny.
I couldn't take it anymore,
so I left.
>> Mariah: So, there was never
a meeting?
>> Sharon: I called the CEO
and I postponed.
That much is true.
The rest of it was just me
buying time to be alone
and think.
>> Mariah: Think about what?
>> Sharon: About my life
and where it's been
and where it's going.
>> Mariah: Mom, you're really
scaring me.
>> Sharon: Well, I'm not going
to do anything to myself,
if that's what
you're worried about.
But I can't live like this
anymore, Mariah.
Under the microscope with you
and Nick and Faith, examining
every move I make,
everything that I say.
It's suffocating, so I did
the only thing I could do.
I ran.
>> Chelsea: Honestly,
I'm surprised Connor would even
want us back together again.
>> Adam: Why?
I mean, isn't that every
kid's fantasy?
>> Chelsea: Well, yeah,
but I don't know if it's his,
considering everything that
happened last time we all lived
together and everything
that happened afterwards.
>> Adam: Have you thought
about it?
What happened in Baltimore?
About us getting back
together again.
>> Chelsea: I can't believe
you'd even ask me that.
>> Adam: It's just a question,
Chelsea.
>> Chelsea: Well, the answer is
no.
No, I've been too mortified
and wracked with guilt to think
about anything having to do
with you or me
or the future or any of that.
Why?
Have you thought about it?
>> Adam: No.
It's the same for me.
>> Billy: I've tried to forgive
Chelsea.
I mean, I've seriously tried,
and if it was anyone else
but Adam, maybe.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, I figure.
>> Billy: He always finds a way
to ruin my life.
And Chelsea,
for whatever reason,
believes he's a decent person
because of what Connor's
going through.
>> Phyllis: Yeah, that's tricky.
>> Billy: No, it's impossible.
>> Phyllis: No, it's not
completely impossible.
>> Billy: It is what it is.
Yeah? How do you figure?
>> Phyllis: Well, because,
you know, walking in here
as a woman,
looking at her face, I get it.
I really do.
She feels guilt, for sure,
but mainly regret.
>> Billy: I've not seen
any of that.
>> Phyllis: Well, you're not
seeing it because you're
in your thing and all of
your hatred for Adam,
but it's definitely happening.
Definitely.
You know, Billy, what if
he didn't manipulate her?
What if it was just two parents
worried about their son
bonding?
And what happened happened out
of this bond and passion
and it's been known to happen,
you know?
>> Billy: Yeah.
That was Chelsea's take.
>> Phyllis: Was it?
All right.
Well, then you should
believe her.
We've all made the mistake.
>> Billy: Over and over.
>> Phyllis: Yeah.
Haven't we?
I think you should believe her.
You know, let her make it up
to you.
>> Nick: Look, I appreciate
all the feedback, but I just
gotta do what I gotta do, even
if that means upsetting Sharon.
>> Nikki: We are all with you,
whatever you decide to do.
>> Victoria: Yeah, and we're
with Sharon, too,
for whatever that's worth.
>> Nick: It's worth a lot.
I won't make the mistake again
of assuming you guys don't have
Sharon's best interests
at heart.
>> Victor: So, what comes next,
son?
>> Nick: Well, I'm gonna go talk
to Faith and Mariah, let them
know I'm gonna go to Sharon's
doctor, and then hopefully
he can come up with
a workable strategy on
what we should do next.
>> Victoria: I think
that's a good call.
>> Nick: Thanks, I do, too.
You know, I sometimes
forget how lucky I am,
because it doesn't matter what's
going on or how many times
we disagree,
I can always talk to you
about anything.
>> Victor: You know, son,
that's what family is for.
>> Mariah: Mom, I'm-- I'm so
sorry if you feel like we've put
that kind of pressure on you.
It's just, we love you so much.
>> Sharon: I know you do,
sweetie, and I love you, too,
but it's just reached a point
where I can't take it anymore.
>> Mariah: I understand.
>> Sharon: Do you, really?
>> Mariah: Yes, yes, at least
I'm trying to.
I just still think that there's
a way for us all to work
this out together as a family.
>> Sharon: Well, there isn't,
at least not now.
>> Mariah: Okay,
what are you gonna do?
>> Sharon: I am going to go off
the grid for a little while.
>> Mariah: What does that mean?
>> Sharon: I never got to visit
Sedona, for one thing,
so maybe now is time to go,
to take the opportunity that
I never took before
and spend some time by myself.
>> Mariah: Yeah, uh, yeah,
I completely understand that,
if that's what you want to do.
>> Sharon: And don't try
to track me down, either.
>> Mariah: Mom.
>> Sharon: I mean it, Mariah.
You need to give me this space.
It's the only way that I'm ever
going to heal, and you all just
need to accept that.
>> Mariah: Okay, well,
how are we gonna get in touch
with you?
>> Sharon: I will reach out
when I'm ready.
>> Mariah: Mom.
>> Cameron: That needed
to be done.
>> Chelsea: I think we need
to be honest with Connor.
>> Adam: Okay.
>> Chelsea: We should talk
to him, maybe even tonight.
I want to make sure that
we don't get his hopes up.
>> Adam: Yep.
Got it.
>> Chelsea: What's wrong?
>> Adam: Nothing.
>> Chelsea: Seems like
something's on your mind.
>> Adam: It-- Chelsea,
it doesn't matter, okay?
Just drop it.
>> Chelsea: No!
>> Adam: Chelsea, stop.
>> Chelsea: What-- Adam,
come on. We can't keep stuff
from each other.
Not now, please.
What? What is it?
>> Adam: Okay, well,
you asked for it.
I lied.
>> Chelsea: Lied about what?
>> Adam: You, me, us,
as a couple.
It did enter my mind.
Fleetingly, at first,
but it's in there.
I can't deny it.
>> Chelsea: You seriously
thought--
>> Adam: Yeah, and not just
as a family unit for Connor.
As a couple,
like we used to be.
Better than we used to be.
>> Chelsea: You-- you don't
really believe--
>> Adam: It can't be all that
surprising, if you were
to allow yourself to dig down
and feel it.
There's more than just
desperation and fear going on
that night in Baltimore.
And I don't know what that more
is exactly, but I haven't been
able to shake it.
>> Nick: All right, I gotta go.
>> Nikki: Tell us what Sharon's
doctor says.
>> Nick: I will. Thanks, Mom.
>> Nikki: Anytime.
>> Nick: Vic, Dad.
>> Victoria: I love you.
>> Nick: Love you, too.
>> Victor: My boy,
it'll all work out.
>> Nick: Thanks, Dad.
[ phone ringing ]
>> Nick: Hey, Mariah, what's up?
Did you talk to Sharon?
>> Mariah: Yes, but I only spoke
to her on the phone.
>> Nick: On the-- what?
>> Mariah: She never went
to Madison, Nick.
>> Nick: What?
>> Mariah: She lied to us all,
and I don't know where she is,
but she's planning on
disappearing.
And I'm scared.
I am really, really scared.
>> Sharon: I shouldn't have
done that. I shouldn't have
pushed Mariah away like that.
>> Cameron: Ah, don't worry,
you'll get over it.
>> Sharon: Well, of course
you would say that.
You have no heart and no soul
and no feelings for anyone
other than yourself.
>> Cameron: I'm also not real,
Sharon.
I'm just a manifestation of
your private thoughts, most of
which you should never share
with anyone.
>> Sharon: I don't know.
I don't know.
>> Cameron: Okay, okay,
just-- just-- just calm down.
Calm down, all right?
You made a smart move.
You don't need Nick
and the girls breathing down
your neck right now.
Right now, you need to think
and you need to plan, and if
that upsets them, well,
you'll make it up to them later.
They really do love you,
Sharon, and they will
forgive anything.
But now is a pivotal moment.
Now, you need to focus.
Right now, we need get to work.
>> Victor: Our boy certainly has
his work cut out for himself.
>> Nikki: Well, I wasn't gonna
say this when Nicholas was here,
but Sharon has caused him more
worry than anyone else
in his life.
>> Victor: She certainly has.
>> Victoria: Well, he wouldn't
have it any other way.
>> Nikki: What do you mean?
>> Victoria: I admire his
dedication to Sharon.
It speaks to the kind of man
that he is.
They have children together.
Sharon's his family.
>> Nikki: Yeah, I understand
that, and he feels the need
to protect Sharon,
but at what cost?
>> Victoria: There is no cost
as far as Nicholas is concerned.
He's just protecting
his family.
And I'm gonna do the same,
if you'll excuse me.
>> Nikki: Where do you think
she's going?
>> Victor: To warn
Billy Boy Abbott.
>> Adam: Chelsea, listen to me.
>> Chelsea: No, no.
I am not having this
conversation with you.
>> Adam: Okay, well, we're gonna
have to talk about it at some
point because it's there.
You know that there's still
something between us.
>> Chelsea: Maybe for you, Adam,
not for me.
>> Adam: I don't believe you.
>> Chelsea: Would you just stop?
>> Adam: Look, I'm trying to be
honest with you,
for God's sakes.
>> Chelsea: I don't want you
to do anything for me.
And, you know, for you
to choose to have this
conversation now with Billy
sitting right there?
>> Adam: Okay, I understand.
It's probably lousy timing,
but it's something that
I have to say.
>> Chelsea: I have to go.
>> Adam: Chelsea, will you
please just stay?
>> Chelsea: No, Adam.
>> Adam: Chelsea!
>> Phyllis: Oh, Billy, bad idea!
Bad idea!
>> Billy: So, what'd you do now,
you son of a bitch?
>> Announcer: Next week on
The Young and the Restless...
>> Nick: Did she say anything
about needing to go away,
like to clear her head or go on
a trip or something?
>> Daniel: Why, do you guys
not know where Sharon is?
>> Sharon: Daniel was hurt.
He was bleeding
in my nightmare.
>> Cameron: And only you can
make your dreams come true.
>> Sharon: How did this happen?
How am I ever going to get out
of this?
