KYLE: Thank you.
Hey.
Hey. I'm glad I ran into you.
Oh, why? Is Harrison okay?
Oh, Harrison's fine.
I'm taking good care of our son.
Which means keeping him well supplied
with his favorite chocolate chip muffins.
Thank you for taking care of him today.
I know it was supposed to be my day.
Yeah, you need to be by your mom's side. He understands that.
Did you tell him about the accident?
I just told him that his grandma was sick
and that you were taking good care of her.
He asked if that meant you were going to make her
some of your famous soup.
He said it always makes him feel better when he's sick.
I wish that this was something that a bowl of soup could fix.
There's no change in your mom's condition?
Afraid not.
I guess this feels all too familiar.
I don't know.
I want to believe that she is going to pull through, but...
honestly, Kyle, I'm afraid that she won't.
Hey.
Do you think maybe you should go home and get some rest?
[Daniel sighing]
Uh, yeah, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep anyway, so.
I know you're worried about your mother.
Yeah. Yeah, I am. I'm worried about her and...
I don't know. I just...
I just feel so damn guilty.
♪♪
Wait, what are you talking about?
What do you mean you lost Abbott-Chancellor
and you lost your mother?
Wait, Jill hasn't passed away, has she?
-No, no. -I just saw her
-at Abby's wedding. -No, Jack.
That's not what I meant by that.
She's ill, yes, but not so ill
that she's not capable of jumping on a plane
and coming to Genoa City to stab me in the heart.
What happened?
My mother, Jill, took Chancellor from me
and handed it to Victor.
[Jack sighing]
Maybe after I'm done checking on your mother,
I should check on you.
I'm sorry?
You seem to be beating yourself up over something.
Yep.
You said you were feeling guilty,
but from what I understand,
you were cleared of any charges that you were facing.
Yeah, that's right.
And you couldn't possibly feel responsible
for your mother's accident.
Actually, I do.
Well, if you need to talk, I can help you find someone.
Like a therapist?
Yeah.
No, thank you. I don't think I need one of those just yet.
I don't know how much you know about my history,
but you know, it seems like you must know something
because everyone else in this town seems to.
And what history is that?
That this can all be just traced back to one event.
The night that Cassie Newman died.
And that happened a long time ago, right?
That happened a long time ago. Yeah, it did, but...
I just, I can't help but feel like it has triggered
a lot of the events that have happened recently.
You get Sharon, Cassie's mother, murdering my partner.
Then, me getting arrested because Sharon set me up.
And then Sharon running my mother off the road
to stop her from proving what she did.
It sounds like Sharon was responsible for all of this.
Yeah, she was, but you know what?
It all started with me.
I mean, if I hadn't got drunk that night,
if I didn't pass out,
Cassie wouldn't have found me passed out.
She wouldn't have tried to drive my car home.
If she didn't crash a car and she didn't die,
maybe Heather would still be alive.
Maybe...
Maybe my mom wouldn't be lying here like this now.
Look, you don't have to do that with me.
Do what?
Pretend like you're keeping it all together.
I guess it's something I started during our whole custody battle.
I didn't feel like I could show you any weakness.
Being upset with what's going on with your family
isn't showing weakness.
I felt the same way.
That I couldn't share things with you, good or bad.
Harrison would do something cute
or amazing or both,
and I would want to text you or send you a picture, and...
I wouldn't.
-Yeah. -KYLE: Mm-hmm.
I just...
I can't believe that this is happening.
It's crazy.
Well, it's good news that Daniel was exonerated.
At least now he can actually mourn Heather,
now that he's not worried about going to prison
for a crime he didn't commit.
I really don't think that anybody in my family
is ever going to be able to forgive Sharon
for what she put him through.
Yep. It isn't always easy to let go and move on.
Why do I get the sense
that you're not just talking about my brother?
Oh, I don't want to burden you
with anything going on in my life.
I'll just say that I can relate to the feeling
of life you giving much more than you can handle.
JACK: I didn't even know Jill was ill.
She's having issues with her heart,
which is part of the reason why she gave me control
of the company in the first place.
I mean, how serious is it?
I saw her at the wedding. She seemed fine.
Yeah. Uh, Snapper has been handling her treatment.
From what she's telling me, she's stable.
Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
Because she wanted to keep it a secret.
But after the way she betrayed me,
I don't feel obligated to keep her confidence,
if you know what I mean.
And you think her health condition led to her
making such a drastic move at Chancellor?
Partly, but she wasn't happy with some of the choices
that I made at Abbott-Chancellor,
and she wasn't willing to hear my side of the story.
So, she gave me an ultimatum,
which I obliged.
I brought Lily back into the fold, and I fired Phyllis.
And yet, she still sold out to Victor.
She wouldn't listen to her own son,
but somehow Victor got her ear
and he convinced her to throw me out on mine.
Well, I can't say I understand Jill's reasons for doing that,
but I certainly am not surprised
that Victor took full advantage of it.
He's been very busy lately, making trouble for this family.
Yeah, well, I think it's time
that someone make trouble for him.
Well, I didn't think you came here for a shoulder to cry on.
Okay, so it sounds like you have a plan.
And you want my help.
You want payback.
Damn right, I do.
Hey, maybe this isn't the right path for you to be on right now.
Emotions are running high.
You know in dealing with Victor,
you cannot let your feelings get ahead of your judgment.
Victor's gonna get his, Jack.
And look, if you want a piece of the action, I can cut you in.
I got no problem doing that.
But...
that's not actually the reason why I'm here right now.
I'm thinking in more practical terms.
Okay.
Look, I'm sure you're aware of the hatchet jobs
that have been executed by the various outlets of Newman Media.
Yes, I am sadly aware.
They're running down my leadership
at Chancellor pretty hard right now,
so I need to save face.
And I need to do it quickly.
Yeah, I think that's the right move.
So, I need to show that when I get knocked down,
Jack, I get back up.
And that I'm still capable of doing the job.
Good. How can I help?
Well, with Kyle defecting to Glissade,
and Diane out at Jabot,
I think it's pretty clear
that you need a strong second-in-command.
You're asking to come back to Jabot.
Tragedies happen to good people
through no fault of their own.
These things didn't just happen. I made choices.
Yes.
You made the choice to drink that night.
But Cassie made a choice too.
And Sharon made choices too.
But you can't undo any of that.
And you can't change the past.
And if you keep blaming yourself for everything that happened,
then it's going to impact your state of mind, your well-being.
I just, I don't know what else to do.
ELENA: You can make a different choice.
To heal.
And the way you do that is by forgiving yourself.
She's right, Dad.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Look, I won't press if you don't want to talk about it, but...
I can see you're upset.
Well, I appreciate that.
You know, talking about Harrison reminds me
of what's really important.
Yeah, it is a nice break from all the worrying we do.
Look, I know how close you, Daniel, and your mom are.
I know you say it's hard to stay strong,
but I also know how tough you can be
when you set your mind to it.
Yeah.
Trying to be more like my mom right now.
Do what she would do.
Phyllis never shies away from a problem.
She wouldn't have any doubts.
Through sheer will and determination,
she would make sure things go her way.
Hm.
That is my mom.
Maybe I do need to have a perspective shift and...
focus on the most positive outcome.
-She is gonna wake up. -KYLE: Mm-hmm.
-She is going to be okay. -KYLE: Mm-hmm.
Knowing her, there's no other way it's gonna happen.
It's gonna take more than a car accident
to take Phyllis Summers out.
Thank you for reminding me of that.
Hey. Anytime.
Hey. Surprised to see you here.
You should be at the hospital.
Yeah, I'm on my way back there now.
I just stopped in to get coffees for me and Daniel.
I've got to get going, too.
Keep me up to date on your mom.
I will. You can give Harrison a kiss for me.
You know I will.
I'll be by later tonight to tuck him in.
He'll love it.
Hey, could I grab my to-go order, please? Thanks.
Any news on your mom?
No change.
She's still unconscious and lucky to be alive currently.
And honestly, Chance, the more I think about it,
the more I realize this is your fault.
How is she?
Hey, I'm Dr. Dawson.
I'm treating your grandmother.
Her condition is stable,
but you being here will definitely make things better.
LUCY: You think she knows? Like, can she hear me?
Well, I have no medical basis to confirm that, but...
in my heart, I think she can.
And you walking in here with all that love,
it certainly can't hurt.
I will come back and check on her.
Thank you, Doctor, for everything.
Of course.
Hey, Phyllis.
I've missed you so much.
You know, I, um, I have to tell you about this boy
that I met on tour with Grandpa.
How old was this boy?
He's my age, Dad, don't worry.
You know, um, we were dancing near each other,
not with each other, because he wasn't brave enough to.
So, I decided to reach out and grab his hand.
And when I did, he turned bright red.
Like, I genuinely thought he was gonna pass out.
He was really cute.
It turns out he's one of the sound guy's sons,
so he taught me how to use the soundboard.
We both reached for the same knob at the same time.
And when our hands touched, he got all embarrassed again.
His name's Scotty.
We're gonna text.
You know, you and I always like to talk a lot,
so I think y'all might get along.
He knows that a girl wants a guy who will actually listen to her.
Jack, I know Jabot.
I know Jabot inside out,
so there won't be any learning curb, okay?
I can start the job on day one.
I-- I have no doubt about that.
And you got your hands full there at the office, okay?
And I mean, clearly,
with the tension that I walked in on earlier
between you and Diane,
you got your hands full here at home, too,
-and not in the best way. -Yeah, I will admit
that the situation with Diane
and the tension with Kyle have taken their toll.
Okay, good, so I can take some of the load off.
And there won't be any drama at Jabot
like there is between Kyle and Diane, okay?
We work well together, so to me,
this is a win-win.
I appreciate the points you're making,
and I fully understand
-the position you're in. -Look, hold on a second, okay?
I just-- I want to say something here
because I understand why you would be skeptical.
Because when I left Jabot, I gave you a pretty big speech
about how I don't feel like I need to live up to
your high standards or fight for your respect anymore.
Jack...
I've been through it lately, okay?
I've been through the ringer,
both personally and professionally.
And-- and one thing that I've learned through
all of that is that...
I can count on you.
Unlike other immediate members of my family.
Look, I...
I know Jill hurt you very deeply.
She did.
It was a blow, Jack.
She ripped the carpet out from underneath me,
handed it to Victor, so you can understand
how that would color my world view, right?
And on top of that, Victoria, the mother of my children,
is aligned with Victor and the actions that he's taking.
I don't mean to stir the pot, but it occurred to me that
Victoria might be just who Victor wants to replace you
as CEO, unless they're talking about bringing Lily back.
It's not Lily either. Lily's out.
And it's not Victoria.
It's Nikki.
Nikki?
Unlike my mother, Victor puts his family first.
Look, I don't want to turn this into a pity party, okay?
I really don't. I just, I need to move forward.
And I want to do that with you at Jabot.
And I promise you,
you do not need to worry about me undermining you
or me making any sort of power moves.
Billy, that's the least of my worries.
The truth is, Jack, as much as I've rejected your advice
and wisdom over the years, I respect your leadership.
And I want to follow you wherever you take this company.
Believe me, I'm touched by you saying that.
Is that a yes?
-Right. Okay. -JACK: No, Billy.
BILLY: No, I mean, I just told you that I believe in you.
-No, it's just-- -It's just what, Jack?
Because, I mean, there's a position open, right?
So-- so, do you not think that I'm capable of doing the job?
Or have I screwed up one too many times?
No, no, no. I did not question your capability,
and I did not call you
-a screw-up. -BILLY: Then, what is it, Jack?
Do you feel like everyone else,
that I'm-- I'm not qualified?
What is it?
Billy, I just told you, I'm not thinking that way.
Well, what are you thinking, then?
Because I'm asking you for a lifeline
and I'm asking you to come back and work at Jabot.
I'm sorry, Billy. I can't.
I don't think it's too much to ask for you
to give me a reason why
you're not going to take me back at Jabot.
It will become clear in just a few days.
That's pretty cryptic, don't you think?
Billy, I'm sorry.
You're sorry? So, I mean, what is it?
Is there someone else you have in mind to replace Diane?
Would you just trust me on this?
You're asking me to trust you,
but you're not showing any return, Jack.
Which has always been an issue,
both personally and professionally.
I can't talk about this right now.
You know, half your family's turning against you
and they're aligning with Victor.
And still, that's not enough for you to see
that you need me just as much as I need you.
Whatever, Jack.
[door slamming]
Look, I get that you're upset with me.
I get it. I arrested your brother
and I didn't follow up on Phyllis' claims that
Sharon was the murderer.
You're right. I am upset.
And just because Daniel was exonerated
doesn't get you off the hook with me.
If you had listened to what my mom was saying,
if you had arrested Sharon,
she wouldn't have been able to run her off the road.
I also get you're looking for someone to blame
for all this, Summer.
And I get that you're being totally dismissive
about my feelings, about your part in all of this.
I'm a cop.
I do not have the luxury of feelings, okay?
I have a duty to follow the facts,
and that's what I did.
And let me just reiterate,
there was zero evidence that Sharon killed your brother.
Because you stopped looking for it!
You had plenty of opportunities to do things differently
and you chose not to.
That's not how I see it. I didn't stop.
You knew that my brother wasn't capable of murder
and you arrested him anyway.
And then you just washed your hands of the entire situation.
That's not what happened. I was doing my job.
-Your job? -Yes.
Daniel's my brother.
You should have done more than just
the bare minimum of your job.
We're gonna need to find a way to get past this.
SUMMER: You know what?
I don't know if there is a way.
Well, I am really glad I got to sit in
on your little catch-up sesh.
Otherwise, I may have never heard about this Scotty guy.
Oh, did you hear that?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, I heard that.
You see, I happen to be one of those men
who knows women like to be listened to.
Oh.
I really missed you.
I missed you too, Dad.
You know, hearing you talk about
how excited you were on tour makes me think
you might like to start a band of your own someday.
Well, being a rock star was pretty cool.
Oh, it was pretty cool?
Yeah, I guess if that ever happened,
then you'd probably be too cool for your old man.
Dad, you know, I really hate to break this to you,
but I think we're way past that.
-Wow. -LUCY: But I think
I can keep you around, you know?
You know, I never took off yours
or Mom's bracelets the whole time.
Still got yours right here.
You know, I think we're gonna have to make one for Phyllis.
She mentioned how much she liked them.
What's your favorite color?
Did, um, Dr. Dawson say how long she'd be like this?
No one knows.
I'm really sorry, Dad.
That I wasn't there.
For everything.
The funeral and you getting arrested.
I really hate that you were alone for all of that.
I mean, I wasn't alone.
I wasn't. I had Mom. I had Summer.
And I knew, I always knew that I had you right here.
I think...
I think you had someone else there for you, too.
Heather.
Well, I didn't think it was possible.
You look even worse than the last time we talked.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to kick you while you were down.
I know. You wouldn't do that.
That is reserved for immediate family only.
Is this about your mom?
Indirectly, yes.
I went and saw my brother, Jack, and asked for his support,
but it turns out, he feels the same way as my mother.
That I am not C-suite material.
So, I'm thinking of joining the carnival.
Okay, well, just FYI, pay is awful.
I hear the elephants work for peanuts.
Oh. Oh, my gosh.
Okay, I've-- I've lost count of the dad jokes.
Me too.
You know, I was sitting here thinking that outside my kids,
I really don't have anyone to depend on.
And then you walk in and make me smile.
I think you almost laughed.
This friendship we have,
it's about the only positive thing in my life right now.
And I'm grateful to you for that.
Well, that goes both ways.
You know, it's kind of ironic that we got closer
when the people we loved pushed us away.
Well, the way I see it, we got two choices.
Okay. Which are?
We can run away together and join the carnival.
Okay. All right. And two?
We can sit here and I can buy you a drink.
Okay. Well, why don't we do the second one first?
And then we will decide on option one.
Summer, this whole thing is a mess.
Heather's death was a tragedy, okay?
I hate that I had to separate Daniel from his daughter.
I hate that Phyllis ended up in a hospital bed.
I hate the whole thing.
I've barely slept since this whole nightmare began.
Okay. Then, you should have been open
-to hearing other options. -I was.
I was as long as there was evidence to back it up.
I can't ignore the facts over a hunch.
The facts?
The evidence you had against Daniel?
It was all planted.
I know that now.
Look, I've thought about this case.
And if I had to do it all over again,
I don't think there's anything I would do differently.
Seriously?
I don't think I can accept that.
Look, Summer, we have to find a way to get past this.
I don't think that you get it.
These last few weeks have been hell for my entire family
and I've had to be strong for Daniel and Lucy and now my mom,
and I-- I wish that I could have leaned on you.
I needed that.
But all I feel when I look at you now is anger.
And I-- I...
I hate it. I don't want this between us.
I want to forgive you for making this mistake.
I didn't make a mistake. I didn't.
I was doing my job. Can we please move past that?
Because I didn't make a mistake.
You arrested an innocent man.
My brother.
And now, my mom is in the hospital because of that.
I don't know if she's ever going to move past that.
I don't think we should see each other for a little while.
Let's talk about what happened with your brother.
If you want to. I mean, unless it's too personal.
I think we're past the "too personal" limits.
A few drunken binges.
Silly stories.
And carnival tricks.
-And dad jokes. -Bad dad jokes.
-Yeah. -Go.
Yeah, well,
I guess Jack feels the same way as the rest of my family does.
And that's not going to change.
So, I think maybe it's time for me to accept that.
Hey, I wanted to come back to the house,
but I couldn't risk Billy seeing me.
-Did he buy our act? -Yeah, he did.
Did something happen between you two?
Jill apparently sold Chancellor out from under Billy to Victor.
What? I guess that means Billy's out.
And Victor has pulled off yet another coup.
Oh, that son of a bitch.
Actually, I'm just concerned about my brother.
Once again, he finds himself left out in the cold.
Well, I'm sure he appreciated your support.
Well, he probably would have appreciated a job a lot more.
He knew that you were out at Jabot,
and he thought maybe I could give him a job
as a soft landing.
And you didn't tell him?
That we were in cahoots?
That this whole conflict is a ruse to win Kyle back? No.
I told Billy no. That's all I could tell him.
Well, I'm sure Billy wanted a reason.
And when I didn't give him one,
he assumed that I thought he was a screw-up.
Thinking the whole world doesn't trust him
is kind of his go-to thing.
And I wish I could give him a real reason.
Well, you could, sooner rather than later,
if you would just agree with me and make Kyle co-CEO of Jabot.
Come on. Diane, that is your job.
Yes, which I am willing to give up
because I truly believe it's the only way to heal our family.
I am not willing to have Kyle come back to Jabot
in any capacity until he can prove to us
that he has learned his lesson from this whole ordeal.
Okay, so this one is in Miami and the pouring rain.
Yeah, I can see, everyone is soaking wet.
And dancing up a storm, obviously.
Obviously.
See that, Grandma?
Is that-- is that Scotty?
-Dad! -I would like to see
what the little hoodlum looks like
in case he ever comes to serenade you under your window.
You know, I don't think people actually do that anymore.
Whatever, comes and holds up a boombox.
-I don't-- -No?
She would know. She knows, trust me.
You took a bunch of pictures.
I sent you a lot of them.
You sent me like a tenth of them.
You know, I am glad that I went.
I wasn't happy that I had to send you away.
I know why you did, though.
But now that I'm back,
I really want to plan that celebration of life for Mom.
Okay, well, once she's awake, up and walking around, okay?
LUCY: Okay.
Lucy, you're here. Thank gosh.
Hey.
I'm really glad she's here, too, because I needed my girl.
Yeah, well, the room already feels a lot brighter.
I think you brought some good energy with you.
I'm sure that Mom feels it, too.
Hey, Phyllis.
We're all here now.
It'd be a really good time to wake up.
Please.
I need you.
Please don't leave me like my mom did.
I will not presume to know much about the rest of your family,
but I have always known Jack to be a fair man.
He can be.
Look, I have a sister too and...
we don't always see eye to eye.
Okay, not to disrespect your level of dysfunction
that you're claiming, but you have nothing on the Abbotts,
I'm just telling you, you know?
I don't want to get in the weeds on this or anything,
but my brother and my mother, they have a very checkered past.
And we have not one, but two businesses to fight over.
Hm. Well, I can see
how that would take it to a whole new level.
See?
But what I can't see
is how what happened at Abbott-Chancellor
is all your fault.
That right there is a minority opinion.
Whenever anything doesn't work out with me,
the whole world seems to side
solely on me being responsible for every single mistake.
And I don't care what the corporate world thinks,
they always got their knives out.
But when your family doesn't believe in you,
when it's your mother and your brother...
it's tough to bear.
Yeah.
You can't choose your family.
No, you can't.
Or who you fall in love with.
The only thing you can choose is who you're friends with.
Well...
I'm really glad that you and I made this choice.
I wish you weren't so dug in on this.
Look, I know you lost your son once already.
And I would do anything to get him back.
You have done great things at Jabot.
Jack, that's not the point.
This is a choice I'm making,
to give up my position as co-CEO so Kyle can have it.
You would do that for him?
Yes.
He's my son and he's more important than any job.
You know, the question is, will you do this for me?
You know, I appreciate what you are willing to give up.
I'm just not sure Kyle would appreciate it.
Look, losing this spot, to me,
is what spiraled this whole situation out of control.
This would prove to Kyle
that we did what we did to help him, not to punish him.
You know what?
I think I'd just like to hear Kyle say those words.
So, you want an apology?
I would love an apology.
I think we both deserve an apology.
And what if he's as stubborn as his father? Then what?
Haven't we put ourselves and our son through enough?
I just don't want to have gone through all of this for nothing.
We tried to teach our son a lesson
so he could reassume his position in the family,
in the company.
If he hasn't learned anything from this,
we're going to find ourselves right back where we started.
I am not going to have Kyle marching around Jabot,
an arrogant, pompous Victor Newman.
I don't want that either.
We have been through hell and back,
trying to save him from that fate.
Trying to save him from his own anger.
You say this is up to me? No, this is up to Kyle.
If Kyle can't put all of this behind him,
then he can't come back to us.
Do you mind if I have a few minutes alone with Phyllis?
You going to show her more pictures of Scotty?
Who's Scotty?
I'll fill you in out there.
LUCY: Phyllis...
We all really, really need you.
But my dad...
My dad needs you the most, so please.
Please, I really, I really, really need you to wake up.
Here, I...
I'll give you this.
And don't worry, we'll make you one of your own
to remind you how much we love you.
DANIEL: You know, I forgot how much light
my little girl brings into my life.
Daniel, I'm so glad that she's here.
I can see a difference in you already.
That's just one more thing that Sharon tried to take.
I had to send my little girl away.
I am never going to forgive her for the hell
-that she's caused his family. -LUCY: Dad! Dad!
Come on.
-Listen. -Oh!
