1
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:13,947
-Hello, hello.
-[chuckles]
2
00:00:14,013 --> 00:00:16,316
A smile and a wave...
3
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:18,585
unironically? I'm touched.
4
00:00:18,651 --> 00:00:19,586
I didn't think
5
00:00:19,652 --> 00:00:20,587
you liked me that much.
6
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:24,157
Well, chalk it up to
a good mood.
7
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:25,892
Buy me a latte?
8
00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:27,627
Buy you a latte?
9
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,596
You can't afford one yourself,
10
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:31,197
so you wait at a table
11
00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:33,867
until someone you recognize
stops by--is that what this is?
12
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:35,735
No, I just got here.
13
00:00:35,802 --> 00:00:37,670
But fine.
I will buy my own latte.
14
00:00:37,737 --> 00:00:39,472
You don't have to be a jerk
about it.
15
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:41,141
No, I'll...I'll get it.
16
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:45,545
Hey, was that a dig at me
being out of work?
17
00:00:45,612 --> 00:00:48,982
Because that won't be the case
much longer.
18
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:51,084
Is this bravado or sincerity?
19
00:00:51,151 --> 00:00:52,719
I can't tell.
20
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:55,054
Yeah, after you buy me
my coffee,
21
00:00:55,121 --> 00:00:57,023
maybe you can sit with me.
22
00:00:57,090 --> 00:00:59,492
Uh, m-maybe for a minute.
23
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,261
I'm actually meeting Claire.
24
00:01:01,327 --> 00:01:02,629
Mm.
25
00:01:02,695 --> 00:01:04,264
Is that a-a warning?
26
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:07,434
Well, I figured I'd give you
a few minutes to steel yourself.
27
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,803
Or run for the exit.
28
00:01:09,869 --> 00:01:13,440
Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm actually
over Little Miss Muffet.
29
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:17,377
I will just sit here quietly
drinking my latte.
30
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:19,813
No attacks, no comments.
31
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,081
Claire Newman
doesn't bother me anymore.
32
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:24,751
Why do I not believe you?
33
00:01:27,086 --> 00:01:29,189
Where's my phone?
34
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:31,324
You wanna talk to someone?
35
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:32,992
Maybe we should have
36
00:01:33,059 --> 00:01:34,160
Christian come over
37
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,296
and say goodbye to Noah.
38
00:01:36,362 --> 00:01:37,363
[sniffling]
39
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,466
Yeah. We could do that.
40
00:01:39,532 --> 00:01:42,769
It's just...it's so abrupt,
Nick.
41
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:45,839
Noah leaving again like this?
42
00:01:45,905 --> 00:01:48,308
Do you think we could him
out of it?
43
00:01:48,374 --> 00:01:50,276
I mean, he seems pretty set,
Sharon.
44
00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:51,544
His grandfather's letting him
45
00:01:51,611 --> 00:01:52,712
use the jet.
46
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:55,081
If he would just wait
a few days,
47
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:56,783
we could do something,
48
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:58,485
we could plan something more
appropriate,
49
00:01:58,551 --> 00:02:00,053
some kind of going-away party.
50
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:02,088
Maybe we could talk him
out of it all together.
51
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:04,858
-Everything's gonna be okay.
-[sighs]
52
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:08,461
No. [crying]
53
00:02:08,528 --> 00:02:11,464
I should have gone to Boston!
54
00:02:12,565 --> 00:02:15,368
We went through that, Sharon.
55
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:19,038
Mariah needed me.
56
00:02:19,105 --> 00:02:23,977
She needed me and I knew it,
and I stayed in LA with Noah.
57
00:02:24,043 --> 00:02:26,880
Look, you struggled with that
for days.
58
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:29,883
I mean, you can't be
in two places at once.
59
00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:33,253
My daughter took a child, Nick.
60
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,755
She has kidnapped a little boy.
61
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:38,091
Maybe if I had gone to her,
if I had seen her,
62
00:02:38,157 --> 00:02:39,959
maybe if I'd spent
some time with her,
63
00:02:40,026 --> 00:02:41,861
then this wouldn't have
happened!
64
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:43,563
Come here. Come here.
65
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:46,699
-It's not your fault.
-NOAH: What's not her fault?
66
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:51,404
Mom, what's--what's wrong?
67
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,640
What's going on?
68
00:02:56,442 --> 00:03:01,247
♪♪
69
00:03:28,741 --> 00:03:30,376
Sorry. sorry.
70
00:03:30,443 --> 00:03:32,312
Okay, someone talk to me,
tell me what's going on?
71
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:34,047
Mom, why are you so upset?
72
00:03:34,113 --> 00:03:37,183
Noah, I can't get into this
with you right now.
73
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:39,152
I need to go and talk to Tessa.
74
00:03:39,218 --> 00:03:40,787
I think that's a good idea.
75
00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:42,689
Tessa? Why Tessa? Is it Mariah?
76
00:03:42,755 --> 00:03:44,290
Did something happen?
77
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:46,659
There's something
I need to go and handle, Noah.
78
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:49,462
Okay, now, promise me
that you will not leave town
79
00:03:49,529 --> 00:03:51,097
until I get back, please.
80
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:52,298
Yeah, okay.
81
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:54,567
Okay. Your father
will fill you in.
82
00:04:01,341 --> 00:04:03,543
What the hell was that?
83
00:04:10,617 --> 00:04:13,052
This has to be about
Devon's visit, right?
84
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:15,054
He was concerned about Dominic.
85
00:04:16,723 --> 00:04:18,391
Yeah, he was.
86
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:22,295
Uh, Sienna, would it be possible
87
00:04:22,362 --> 00:04:24,197
if I had some time
to talk to my son?
88
00:04:24,263 --> 00:04:26,099
I don't see why
she has to leave.
89
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:28,401
I mean, I'm gonna tell her
anything you tell me.
90
00:04:28,468 --> 00:04:29,869
SIENNA:
No, no, no, it's totally fine.
91
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,005
I will take a walk
around the grounds,
92
00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:33,840
check out the scenery
and say my goodbyes.
93
00:04:33,906 --> 00:04:35,608
So now you're gonna
brave the cold?
94
00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:37,210
I'm tough.
95
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:51,257
I didn't think
you would beat me here.
96
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:54,260
Well, I was already on my way
when you called.
97
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:57,597
So you've heard about Mariah
and Dominic?
98
00:04:57,664 --> 00:05:00,433
I don't see
how this is possible.
99
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,335
I can't wrap my mind around it
either.
100
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:04,337
I just--I'm sorry.
I should have called.
101
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:06,372
But when Devon and Abby told me,
102
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,075
I just--I honestly
didn't know what to say.
103
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:12,445
So Mariah...
came back to Genoa City?
104
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:14,047
She came back home,
105
00:05:14,113 --> 00:05:16,282
but she didn't tell any of us
she was here.
106
00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:18,785
And then she took Dominic?
I mean, I just--I don't get it!
107
00:05:18,851 --> 00:05:20,386
She loves that little boy.
108
00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:24,090
I wanna believe
that this is a misunderstanding
109
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:26,526
and that it is not...
110
00:05:26,592 --> 00:05:28,361
what it looks like.
111
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:29,996
Yeah, me too.
112
00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:32,532
I should have gone to visit her.
113
00:05:32,598 --> 00:05:35,768
I just--I kept convincing myself
that she was okay
114
00:05:35,835 --> 00:05:38,071
and that she was getting
the help she needed.
115
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:39,939
No, I thought that too,
but I just had
116
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,774
this terrible feeling
when I went to the clinic.
117
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:44,744
She just didn't seem to be
improving.
118
00:05:44,811 --> 00:05:46,946
I wanted her out,
but she wouldn't come with me.
119
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,981
She just kept pushing me away.
120
00:05:49,048 --> 00:05:51,184
I wish I had tried harder.
121
00:05:51,250 --> 00:05:53,786
Did the clinic do this to her?
122
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,255
Did it hurt her
more than help her?
123
00:05:56,322 --> 00:05:58,624
Has Mariah completely snapped?
124
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,563
What is with you?
You're trying to antagonize me.
125
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:06,866
As opposed to you,
the ultimate peacekeeper?
126
00:06:06,933 --> 00:06:09,235
You're the one
who keeps bringing up Claire.
127
00:06:09,302 --> 00:06:11,037
It's like you're testing me.
128
00:06:11,104 --> 00:06:12,939
Don't think
I haven't noticed that.
129
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:17,210
All right,
well, why is it so easy?
130
00:06:17,276 --> 00:06:18,911
You know, I am surprised.
131
00:06:18,978 --> 00:06:21,347
You used to be
so much tougher than this.
132
00:06:21,414 --> 00:06:23,049
So now I'm thin-skinned?
133
00:06:23,116 --> 00:06:25,084
You dealt with
all sorts of personalities
134
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:27,220
-back in the day in Los Angeles.
-Yeah, damn straight.
135
00:06:27,286 --> 00:06:29,756
The aggressor, the phony, the--
136
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:32,692
Or both. And I still
haven't lost my edge.
137
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:34,927
Until now.
138
00:06:36,329 --> 00:06:37,830
Claire gets to you.
139
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:39,732
Not anymore.
140
00:06:39,799 --> 00:06:42,668
Okay? You and I made a deal,
remember?
141
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:45,304
I haven't done anything
to Claire since then.
142
00:06:45,371 --> 00:06:46,806
Except for curse her
under your breath
143
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:48,708
and stick pins in a doll
that looks like her.
144
00:06:48,775 --> 00:06:50,877
-[both chuckle]
-Why? Is she complaining
145
00:06:50,943 --> 00:06:52,712
-of pain?
-You know what?
146
00:06:52,779 --> 00:06:54,647
When I think of all the rich,
entitled snobs
147
00:06:54,714 --> 00:06:56,516
that you hung out with in LA...
148
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:58,284
you would show 'em your artwork.
149
00:06:58,351 --> 00:07:00,253
You would smile
when they were condescending.
150
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,188
You would laugh
when they were rude.
151
00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:04,257
But nothing fazed you.
152
00:07:04,323 --> 00:07:07,360
Like you said, I had thick skin,
and I still do.
153
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:11,297
So why Claire?
154
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,833
Why is she your trigger?
155
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,735
Look, I've dealt with
156
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:18,070
countless spoiled Claire Newmans
in my life.
157
00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:21,140
At one time,
they got the best of me.
158
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:24,677
But this Claire won't win.
159
00:07:26,345 --> 00:07:28,981
Oh, oh, warmth, salvation.
160
00:07:29,048 --> 00:07:31,250
There's probably some hot
chocolate around here somewhere.
161
00:07:31,317 --> 00:07:33,219
Oh, I am just so glad
to be indoors.
162
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:34,687
You are my hero.
163
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:36,856
Yeah. It's a good thing
I ran into you at the stables.
164
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:39,692
-Yeah, I got so turned around.
-So, what, Noah just sent you
165
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:41,627
out on your own
to fend for yourself?
166
00:07:41,694 --> 00:07:43,696
Well, I thought I could handle
a solo walk.
167
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:45,965
I've done it before.
It's just that, you know,
168
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:47,900
like this place is huge.
169
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:50,870
Just tall trees
and all the shrubbery.
170
00:07:50,937 --> 00:07:52,572
Yeah. I used to get lost
all the time.
171
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:55,308
Yeah. And now you are
the girl with the horse.
172
00:07:55,374 --> 00:07:57,910
Ah, yeah. Seeker was a gift
from my grandfather.
173
00:07:57,977 --> 00:08:00,713
And I'm so glad you got to
meet him--he really liked you.
174
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,882
Yeah? Well, I think
all that slobbering
175
00:08:02,949 --> 00:08:05,184
was for the carrot,
not so much for me.
176
00:08:05,251 --> 00:08:07,887
Well, I haven't been
a great friend to Seeker lately.
177
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:10,356
I haven't ridden him that much
because I was in LA,
178
00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:12,191
and then...now everything
happening with Newman.
179
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:14,060
Yeah. It's busy times, huh?
180
00:08:14,126 --> 00:08:16,128
The staff takes really good
care of him but, you know,
181
00:08:16,195 --> 00:08:18,164
he gets restless,
so I'm gonna take him out again
182
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:20,366
in the morning
if you would like to join.
183
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:21,767
Do you ride?
184
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:23,636
Ride? A horse?
185
00:08:23,703 --> 00:08:25,504
-[both laugh]
-Okay, so what you
186
00:08:25,571 --> 00:08:26,973
just witnessed out there
187
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:29,542
is the closest I have ever been
to an animal that big.
188
00:08:29,609 --> 00:08:31,210
Well, I might seem
really experienced,
189
00:08:31,277 --> 00:08:33,012
but not that long ago
that wasn't true.
190
00:08:33,079 --> 00:08:34,614
I just had
a really good teacher.
191
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,049
Okay, so wait, wait.
There's, um, uh...
192
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:38,985
there's a saddle
that you sit in, right?
193
00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:41,554
-And then which way do you face?
-Towards the horse's head.
194
00:08:41,621 --> 00:08:43,089
Oh! See? Makes sense.
195
00:08:43,155 --> 00:08:45,124
See? You're a natural.
So what do you say?
196
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,827
-Do you wanna go?
-I really do appreciate
197
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:49,528
your offer but, um,
198
00:08:49,595 --> 00:08:52,632
I'm just not sure that I'm
gonna be here that much longer.
199
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:54,333
Oh. You're leaving?
200
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,335
Yeah, well, when you found me,
I was looking for the house.
201
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:58,738
I wanted to come by
and thank Nikki and Victor
202
00:08:58,804 --> 00:09:01,407
for their hospitality
and support.
203
00:09:01,474 --> 00:09:03,409
Are you going back to LA?
204
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:06,078
-It's the plan.
-What about Noah?
205
00:09:07,146 --> 00:09:09,248
Yeah, he might--
he might be coming with me.
206
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:13,419
Why do I get the sense that
that's not something you want?
207
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,895
Latte.
208
00:09:22,962 --> 00:09:24,964
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
209
00:09:28,034 --> 00:09:31,904
You know, I knew a lot of
Claires growing up...
210
00:09:31,971 --> 00:09:36,142
entitled
SoCal doe-eyed princesses.
211
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:39,111
Their daddies had money.
Their mothers had manicures.
212
00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:41,647
Homes with a housekeeper,
a pool.
213
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:43,916
Designer bags and jeans.
214
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:46,285
A weekend place by the beach.
215
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:49,121
Pretty, perfect people.
216
00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:51,090
Yeah. My world was different.
217
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:53,960
My parents weren't around much.
218
00:09:54,026 --> 00:09:57,463
They worked multiple jobs
to keep food on the table.
219
00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:59,865
And I was just an afterthought.
220
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,767
You know,
we couldn't afford much.
221
00:10:01,834 --> 00:10:04,937
My clothes were either
secondhand or...
222
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:07,273
made by someone we knew.
223
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:09,675
A neighbor, a relative.
224
00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:12,745
You know, everything
about my life, about me,
225
00:10:12,812 --> 00:10:15,214
was something for these girls
to ridicule.
226
00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:19,018
My...clothes, my shoes,
227
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:22,455
the food in my lunch box,
my hair, my accent.
228
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:26,659
And I did all these things
to try to assimilate.
229
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:31,130
Yeah, I worked on my accent,
I straightened my hair.
230
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:33,466
But it just made everything
worse.
231
00:10:35,735 --> 00:10:38,371
And that's when
I started stealing.
232
00:10:38,437 --> 00:10:40,873
Fancy lotions, perfumes.
233
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:43,142
A blouse neither I
nor my parents could afford
234
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:45,044
because it was too expensive.
235
00:10:45,111 --> 00:10:47,580
Everything was too expensive.
236
00:10:47,646 --> 00:10:51,183
But I did anything to get
these girls to leave me alone.
237
00:10:51,250 --> 00:10:55,187
And, hey, I am not proud
of the thefts.
238
00:10:55,254 --> 00:10:57,857
I was just so desperate
to fit in.
239
00:10:57,923 --> 00:11:00,559
And I realized too late that
there was nothing I could do
240
00:11:00,626 --> 00:11:01,861
to make that happen.
241
00:11:01,927 --> 00:11:04,430
I was me, and they were them.
242
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,499
Different universes.
243
00:11:06,565 --> 00:11:08,467
I was never
gonna enter their orbit,
244
00:11:08,534 --> 00:11:10,603
so I just stopped trying.
245
00:11:10,669 --> 00:11:13,072
-It must have been hard.
-Yeah.
246
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:16,342
But that's when I got tough.
247
00:11:16,409 --> 00:11:19,745
When I got older
and finally had some money,
248
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:22,982
I went back to a few of
the stores I'd stolen from
249
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:24,717
and I bought a bunch of clothes
250
00:11:24,784 --> 00:11:27,953
that I donated to organizations
that helped women.
251
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:32,358
I thought
if I could help someone...
252
00:11:33,659 --> 00:11:36,862
...that might right one of my
wrongs or make a difference.
253
00:11:36,929 --> 00:11:39,298
I-I had no idea.
254
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:43,069
I knew that your childhood...
that it wasn't great.
255
00:11:43,135 --> 00:11:44,737
But...
256
00:11:44,804 --> 00:11:46,972
I'm very sorry, Audra.
257
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:51,177
I won't ever be treated
like that again.
258
00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:53,712
I won't take that from anyone.
259
00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:56,816
Not from Claire
or anyone like her.
260
00:11:56,882 --> 00:11:58,284
You know, I get it.
261
00:11:58,350 --> 00:12:00,519
But you do realize that Claire
262
00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:04,490
is not like any of those people
that you just described.
263
00:12:06,625 --> 00:12:08,627
Your mother's very upset.
264
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:12,098
It seems like Mariah
has disappeared with Dominic.
265
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:14,600
Disappeared?
What--what does that mean?
266
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:17,970
We think she took him.
267
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:19,271
I-I don't understand.
268
00:12:19,338 --> 00:12:21,640
I thought Mariah was receiving
treatment in Boston.
269
00:12:21,707 --> 00:12:23,409
She was, but then she came home
270
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,211
and she didn't tell anyone
she was doing that.
271
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:27,780
Okay, took him how?
Where--where did she go?
272
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:32,051
Devon said that Mariah saw
Dominic playing in their yard,
273
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:33,786
and then she took Dominic
274
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:36,255
without getting
Devon and Abby's permission.
275
00:12:36,322 --> 00:12:38,924
Why would she do that?
She adores Dominic.
276
00:12:38,991 --> 00:12:41,427
Mariah has been having
a rough go of it lately.
277
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:43,062
I thought she was all right.
278
00:12:43,129 --> 00:12:44,930
I thought she went to
that clinic to get help.
279
00:12:44,997 --> 00:12:46,699
She did,
but it doesn't seem like
280
00:12:46,765 --> 00:12:48,467
it was making
much of a difference.
281
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:50,736
She's been really struggling.
282
00:12:50,803 --> 00:12:52,204
No one told me.
283
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:54,406
Well, Noah, you were in a coma.
284
00:12:54,473 --> 00:12:56,575
You know, and with everything
that was going on with Matt,
285
00:12:56,642 --> 00:12:58,711
we decided to spare you
some details.
286
00:12:58,777 --> 00:13:00,913
Sounds like you spared me a lot.
287
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,848
Okay, well, also there was
Mariah's privacy.
288
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:05,317
But now that this has happened,
you deserve to know everything.
289
00:13:05,384 --> 00:13:07,586
-Please.
-It looks like this all started
290
00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:09,455
when Mariah went on this trip.
291
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:11,624
Something happened on that trip.
We don't know what.
292
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:14,827
But when she came back home,
she was a changed person.
293
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:16,428
Did someone hurt her?
294
00:13:16,495 --> 00:13:18,264
We just don't know, son.
295
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:20,099
But that's what led
to her stay in Boston.
296
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,134
We thought that would be
the best thing for her.
297
00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:24,937
But once she got there,
she completely shut out Tessa,
298
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:26,438
Sharon, and even Aria.
299
00:13:26,505 --> 00:13:28,440
That makes no sense.
It's not like her.
300
00:13:28,507 --> 00:13:30,309
When she left the clinic,
Tessa and Sharon thought
301
00:13:30,376 --> 00:13:32,711
that she had gone south
based on her phone's location.
302
00:13:32,778 --> 00:13:35,147
But it turns out she just
came back to Genoa City.
303
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:37,016
Has she been seen
since she took Dominic?
304
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:38,918
The police have security footage
305
00:13:38,984 --> 00:13:41,554
of Mariah leaving a local motel
with Dom.
306
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:43,656
Other than that,
nothing since then.
307
00:13:43,722 --> 00:13:46,358
Damn. No wonder Mom
is so freaked out.
308
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,594
Your mother needs
your support right now.
309
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,129
Please do not leave.
310
00:13:50,196 --> 00:13:53,032
If there's any way you
and Sienna can delay your trip,
311
00:13:53,098 --> 00:13:54,600
it'd be huge for your mother.
312
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:57,670
Will you please
stay here for her?
313
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:01,907
Is it possible for you
314
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:03,709
to look at this as a therapist?
315
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:06,645
I mean, your training
and your expertise?
316
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:10,216
Mariah was struggling.
We both know that.
317
00:14:10,282 --> 00:14:13,919
But for her to take her behavior
to this extreme,
318
00:14:13,986 --> 00:14:16,088
to take things to this level...
319
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:18,290
What would that indicate,
do you think?
320
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:20,626
Well, as her mother,
I don't wanna believe
321
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:22,795
that she's had a complete
mental breakdown...
322
00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:23,963
But that's what it looks like.
323
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,331
I mean, if you were
her therapist...
324
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:28,434
If I were her therapist, yes.
325
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,269
But I'm not her therapist.
326
00:14:30,336 --> 00:14:34,940
You know what, this could be
just a terrible mistake.
327
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:38,877
Mariah took Dom on a short trip
and...
328
00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:41,113
she left a message
for Devon and Abby,
329
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:42,648
but they didn't get it.
330
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:46,518
I'm telling you, my daughter
would never harm that child.
331
00:14:46,585 --> 00:14:48,721
No, and the woman I married
wouldn't either,
332
00:14:48,787 --> 00:14:51,824
but the Mariah we both know
has been unreachable
333
00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:54,293
for a while now, in all ways.
334
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,529
She's been sad and distressed.
335
00:14:57,596 --> 00:15:01,267
Lost. Vacant.
I mean, completely shut down.
336
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:04,503
When I visited her in Boston
and I hugged her...
337
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,672
it was like she was
completely frozen.
338
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,875
I should have gone to visit her.
339
00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:12,244
I should have tried harder
to get through.
340
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:15,714
Sharon...you don't know
if you would have been able to.
341
00:15:15,781 --> 00:15:19,785
I'm her mother. If anyone
could get through, I could!
342
00:15:19,852 --> 00:15:21,587
I don't know, Sharon.
343
00:15:23,255 --> 00:15:26,225
It just kills me that...
344
00:15:26,292 --> 00:15:28,193
She needed help.
345
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:30,162
She was in pain,
and I couldn't reach her.
346
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:32,498
I wasn't there for her
when she needed me.
347
00:15:32,564 --> 00:15:35,234
Stop.
She pushed all of us away,
348
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,503
made it so difficult
to be around her.
349
00:15:38,904 --> 00:15:41,340
I just can't believe that
350
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:44,143
whatever she experienced...
351
00:15:44,209 --> 00:15:47,179
it pushed her to become...
352
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:49,848
A kidnapper.
353
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:52,618
[sobs] A person
who would take a child away
354
00:15:52,685 --> 00:15:56,789
from their parents...
in broad daylight.
355
00:15:56,855 --> 00:16:00,526
Is this what my daughter
has become?
356
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:09,001
There you go, coming to
Claire's defense again.
357
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:11,737
Don't do that. Don't shut down.
358
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,340
Not when we're having
a genuine conversation.
359
00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:16,675
You baited me to get me
to open up to you.
360
00:16:16,742 --> 00:16:18,877
It's not a bad idea to
show people you have a heart
361
00:16:18,944 --> 00:16:21,547
every once in a while,
that you have vulnerabilities
362
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:24,049
and scars--
it makes you human, Audra.
363
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:25,851
Yeah. That I can be
thin-skinned?
364
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:28,320
All right, those people
who hurt you, they were bullies.
365
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:30,055
They were selfish,
self-centered,
366
00:16:30,122 --> 00:16:32,291
narrowminded jerks,
and that hurt, that anger,
367
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:34,326
that pain you feel...
368
00:16:34,393 --> 00:16:36,261
that's valid.
369
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:37,730
I just want you to see
370
00:16:37,796 --> 00:16:39,965
that Claire
is not one of those people.
371
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:43,235
Ugh. She has you wrapped
around her finger.
372
00:16:45,237 --> 00:16:47,272
Don't become the bully yourself.
373
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:49,341
That is not the way to heal.
374
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:51,443
Oh, thanks for the hot tip.
375
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:53,412
You don't know Claire
like I do.
376
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:56,081
She's not some rich, stuck up
brat that you think she is.
377
00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:59,218
The fact that she's even dating
a guy like me...
378
00:16:59,284 --> 00:17:01,487
that proves that.
379
00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:05,290
So...
380
00:17:07,393 --> 00:17:10,295
Look, I love Noah.
I wanna be with him.
381
00:17:10,362 --> 00:17:12,431
But there's something
you're not sure about?
382
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:15,601
I'm just not sure that I am
the right fit for him.
383
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,636
Because of all this?
384
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:19,405
Look, he grew up here.
385
00:17:19,471 --> 00:17:21,740
This lifestyle, the wealth,
386
00:17:21,807 --> 00:17:23,242
the opulence.
387
00:17:23,308 --> 00:17:25,844
And for you,
it's not the same story.
388
00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:29,148
Look, I-I knew that,
when I net Noah,
389
00:17:29,214 --> 00:17:31,049
that we came from
different backgrounds,
390
00:17:31,116 --> 00:17:34,686
but just...now being here,
the reality of all this...
391
00:17:34,753 --> 00:17:36,522
Makes you see Noah differently?
392
00:17:36,588 --> 00:17:38,757
If this is what Noah knows
393
00:17:38,824 --> 00:17:40,959
and it's the lifestyle
that he wants for himself,
394
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:43,529
I am not the right person
for him.
395
00:17:43,595 --> 00:17:46,665
I don't fit the mold.
I don't ride horses.
396
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:49,568
I wouldn't know what to wear
at a fancy dinner.
397
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:52,704
Play the game--
I mean, small talk? What about?
398
00:17:52,771 --> 00:17:55,274
Stocks and my lavish vacations?
399
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:57,910
[both chuckle]
400
00:17:57,976 --> 00:18:01,380
Look, I got lost
in his backyard.
401
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:04,550
I would definitely lose myself
in his world.
402
00:18:04,616 --> 00:18:07,719
Look, no offense, it just--
it doesn't feel real.
403
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:09,455
Not to me.
404
00:18:11,323 --> 00:18:13,826
What does?
405
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:15,227
My bar.
406
00:18:15,294 --> 00:18:17,596
My Malibu bungalow.
407
00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:18,931
Traffic.
408
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:21,233
-[both laughing]
-Music.
409
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,535
Late nights.
410
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:27,072
You know, if Noah wants to
whisk me away from all of that,
411
00:18:27,139 --> 00:18:28,307
I just...
412
00:18:30,809 --> 00:18:33,779
I'm not some princess
who's trapped in a tower
413
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:36,748
she doesn't wanna be in.
414
00:18:36,815 --> 00:18:38,851
You know, I like my life in LA.
415
00:18:38,917 --> 00:18:40,819
Despite the challenges.
416
00:18:40,886 --> 00:18:42,888
And now,
with Matt out of your life,
417
00:18:42,955 --> 00:18:44,389
things can open up for you.
418
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:46,792
You get new opportunities,
choices.
419
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:51,396
Noah belongs here.
420
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:52,865
I don't.
421
00:18:52,931 --> 00:18:55,367
I am rock and roll,
and I just think
422
00:18:55,434 --> 00:18:58,403
that if we try to
settle in together,
423
00:18:58,470 --> 00:19:01,773
Noah's gonna feel
as out of place in my life
424
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,542
as I feel in his.
425
00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:06,378
I don't really know Noah
that well--he's my cousin,
426
00:19:06,445 --> 00:19:08,413
but I haven't gotten to spend
much time with him.
427
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,550
That's because he's been living
the jet set life.
428
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:15,787
He's been at his club in London,
trying to open one in LA.
429
00:19:15,854 --> 00:19:17,789
Okay. Call me a romantic,
430
00:19:17,856 --> 00:19:19,591
but if the two of you
love each other
431
00:19:19,658 --> 00:19:21,026
as much as you say you do,
432
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:22,761
then maybe the things
that you're worried about
433
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:23,929
won't matter so much.
434
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:25,731
Maybe you'll be able
to find a way
435
00:19:25,797 --> 00:19:27,633
to fit into each other's lives
if you try.
436
00:19:27,699 --> 00:19:31,203
You know, if...
you wanted to try.
437
00:19:33,372 --> 00:19:37,009
I wouldn't leave
unless I knew Mom was okay.
438
00:19:37,075 --> 00:19:39,945
Okay? I can stay as long as
she needs me,
439
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:42,347
until everything with Mariah's
resolved.
440
00:19:42,414 --> 00:19:44,683
That's all I ask. Thank you.
441
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:47,819
So what can I do?
Do we--do we look for Mariah?
442
00:19:47,886 --> 00:19:50,088
[sighs] Right now
it's just a waiting game.
443
00:19:50,155 --> 00:19:52,391
How could I not have known that
this was going on with Mariah?
444
00:19:52,457 --> 00:19:55,193
I mean, I could have been home.
I could have been there for her.
445
00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:58,764
No. We kept things from you.
It was a conscious decision.
446
00:19:58,830 --> 00:20:02,100
Yeah, but I should have
stayed in touch with her better.
447
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:05,037
If I'd checked in, maybe
this wouldn't have happened.
448
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:06,939
She would have understood, okay?
449
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:09,775
You were living your life, man.
That's what we want for you.
450
00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:11,176
Yeah. I get caught up in work.
451
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:13,011
I'm sorry. I promise
I'll do better, though.
452
00:20:13,078 --> 00:20:14,980
I wanna play a meaningful part
in this family,
453
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:16,715
in everyone's lives
in Genoa City,
454
00:20:16,782 --> 00:20:18,750
no matter where I end up.
455
00:20:18,817 --> 00:20:21,353
And it sounds like
that's gonna be LA.
456
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:22,921
Yeah.
457
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:26,291
I need you to help me
understand this...
458
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:29,161
why you think LA
is the right place for you.
459
00:20:32,397 --> 00:20:33,765
Thank you.
460
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:38,670
I...I just can't reconcile
461
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,739
the Mariah I know
462
00:20:40,806 --> 00:20:43,141
with the person
who took Dominic...
463
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:45,110
if that's what really happened.
464
00:20:45,177 --> 00:20:47,579
It looks that way,
unfortunately.
465
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:51,350
But the Mariah we know
wouldn't do that...
466
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:54,186
to Devon, to Abby, or Dominic.
467
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:55,754
Yeah, but she also
wouldn't have
468
00:20:55,821 --> 00:20:57,756
ignored our daughter
on Christmas
469
00:20:57,823 --> 00:21:00,659
or refused our calls
or been away this long.
470
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:02,361
You're right.
471
00:21:02,427 --> 00:21:05,263
We're not dealing with
the Mariah that we both know.
472
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:07,265
She's changed, Sharon,
473
00:21:07,332 --> 00:21:09,401
and she's a very different
person now,
474
00:21:09,468 --> 00:21:13,138
and honestly,
it scares the hell out of me.
475
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:20,912
I love Sienna...
476
00:21:20,979 --> 00:21:23,348
and wherever she is
is the place I wanna be.
477
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:26,051
Is that love or...
478
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:27,452
infatuation?
479
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,755
Really, Dad? Come on.
480
00:21:29,821 --> 00:21:31,823
What do you two
have in common?
481
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:34,626
We both run clubs. We...
482
00:21:34,693 --> 00:21:37,729
love the same types of music,
movies.
483
00:21:37,796 --> 00:21:39,798
-That's it?
-Well, it's hard to
484
00:21:39,865 --> 00:21:41,833
boil it down into bullet points,
you know?
485
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:45,003
But just...just tell me
what your real problem is.
486
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:47,205
When you met her,
she was married.
487
00:21:47,272 --> 00:21:49,675
-And?
-She's also older than you.
488
00:21:49,741 --> 00:21:52,044
Why does that matter?
It doesn't to me.
489
00:21:52,110 --> 00:21:54,880
We have a lot more in common
than you think.
490
00:21:54,946 --> 00:21:56,815
Even if you don't see it.
491
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:59,584
Look, when I first came to LA,
492
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:02,187
she and I had already
met through Matt.
493
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:05,957
We ran into each other
at some art house theater.
494
00:22:06,024 --> 00:22:07,926
And that's, you know,
when we found
495
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:10,862
that there was something
more between us.
496
00:22:10,929 --> 00:22:13,265
Just because the two of you
like old movies,
497
00:22:13,331 --> 00:22:15,434
it doesn't mean
you're meant to be together.
498
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:17,469
I know that.
You're the one trying to make me
499
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:19,104
explain the attraction.
500
00:22:19,171 --> 00:22:22,040
Yeah, well, I question this
woman's motives in pursuing you.
501
00:22:22,107 --> 00:22:24,810
No, no, that's not
what happened. It was mutual.
502
00:22:24,876 --> 00:22:26,044
What about your future?
503
00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:28,113
I mean, how do you see this
playing out?
504
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:31,583
Dad, she gets me,
and I get her.
505
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:33,785
All that little stuff, it...
506
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:36,421
doesn't matter.
507
00:22:36,488 --> 00:22:39,257
Look, I do not question
508
00:22:39,324 --> 00:22:41,993
that you have feelings for her.
509
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:44,062
I'm just concerned, bud,
510
00:22:44,129 --> 00:22:46,465
that one day,
you're gonna wake up
511
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:49,301
and you're gonna realize
that this relationship
512
00:22:49,367 --> 00:22:51,603
is not what you thought it was.
513
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,274
You and Claire dating?
514
00:22:56,341 --> 00:22:57,976
How quaint.
515
00:22:58,043 --> 00:23:00,912
We've been on dates.
There's no need to mock.
516
00:23:00,979 --> 00:23:03,715
And you threw that fact
in my face because...
517
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:06,718
Because we grew up alike,
you and me.
518
00:23:06,785 --> 00:23:09,121
Hand-to-mouth,
wrong side of the tracks.
519
00:23:09,187 --> 00:23:11,289
You know, crossing over
to the other side,
520
00:23:11,356 --> 00:23:13,024
it isn't easy, I get it.
521
00:23:13,091 --> 00:23:15,260
Yeah, people don't like it.
522
00:23:15,327 --> 00:23:17,295
Because it makes them nervous.
523
00:23:17,362 --> 00:23:19,231
Like we're about to take
what's theirs.
524
00:23:19,297 --> 00:23:23,368
And I've met my fair share
of entitled snobs,
525
00:23:23,435 --> 00:23:25,637
jerks along the way--
I've got in fights.
526
00:23:25,704 --> 00:23:27,305
Yeah, so you know
what it's like.
527
00:23:27,372 --> 00:23:30,075
Yeah, but I believe that people
are mostly alike.
528
00:23:30,142 --> 00:23:32,677
Money or not,
we all want the same things.
529
00:23:32,744 --> 00:23:35,547
Yeah, but money
makes a hell of a difference.
530
00:23:35,614 --> 00:23:37,549
I prefer it
over the alternative.
531
00:23:37,616 --> 00:23:39,885
You've been in both worlds.
532
00:23:39,951 --> 00:23:42,053
Claire has too.
You have that in common.
533
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,689
Aw, so you want us
to become besties?
534
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,958
Bond over our difficult
childhoods?
535
00:23:47,025 --> 00:23:49,127
Claire became a part of
the Newmans' world
536
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:50,829
very recently.
537
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:52,964
She didn't grow up
in the lap of luxury.
538
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:54,466
And from the sounds of it,
539
00:23:54,533 --> 00:23:56,501
she had it worse
than either of us.
540
00:23:56,568 --> 00:23:59,337
Okay, I get it.
Claire came from hell.
541
00:23:59,404 --> 00:24:02,674
She was saved
from her psychotic aunt
542
00:24:02,741 --> 00:24:04,309
and she came from nothing,
sure.
543
00:24:04,376 --> 00:24:06,278
But she was hoisted
onto a pedestal,
544
00:24:06,344 --> 00:24:08,647
and she's made herself
pretty comfortable there.
545
00:24:08,713 --> 00:24:12,250
And now she just acts like
an innocent angel
546
00:24:12,317 --> 00:24:15,387
and looks down on anyone
who dares to question her.
547
00:24:16,421 --> 00:24:18,890
This world,
the Newman experience,
548
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:21,059
I didn't think it was
for me either.
549
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:24,529
Okay, I'm surprised.
It seems to suit you.
550
00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:27,732
Thank you. Well, I didn't
grow up in this family.
551
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,669
Far from it. I was raised
by my Aunt Jordan
552
00:24:30,735 --> 00:24:33,104
who actually
sounds a lot like Matt.
553
00:24:33,171 --> 00:24:36,308
She was controlling
and had her own agenda.
554
00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:37,742
Ooh, I'm sorry.
555
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:40,412
This life that I have now
didn't seem possible.
556
00:24:40,478 --> 00:24:42,480
It wasn't even the kind of thing
I could dream about.
557
00:24:42,547 --> 00:24:46,184
So when it did finally happen,
I was really intimidated
558
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:47,919
by the prospect
of becoming a Newman.
559
00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:51,656
Uh, yeah, well, to be honest,
it seems terrifying.
560
00:24:51,723 --> 00:24:53,859
I didn't think
they'd ever accept me,
561
00:24:53,925 --> 00:24:57,062
and I didn't know anything
about this kind of life either,
562
00:24:57,128 --> 00:24:58,730
you know,
the wine and the horses
563
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:01,533
and which fork to use.
564
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:04,736
But then I realized
that the things
565
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:08,139
that I was most worried about
actually mattered the least.
566
00:25:08,206 --> 00:25:11,209
You know, um, Noah and I
had a little pillow talk
567
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:15,013
about running away,
escaping all this.
568
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,550
And that we would survive
because we had each other.
569
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:20,452
Well, that's it.
570
00:25:20,518 --> 00:25:23,388
The love and the connection
is the most important part.
571
00:25:23,455 --> 00:25:24,890
Yeah, well, I think I need
572
00:25:24,956 --> 00:25:26,825
a little bit more
of your optimism.
573
00:25:26,892 --> 00:25:28,693
It can be kinda hard
to come by sometimes.
574
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,163
So, uh, what's the deal
with you and, uh, Kyle?
575
00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:33,732
What's happening there?
576
00:25:33,798 --> 00:25:35,400
We are not together.
577
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:37,435
We realized that we just want
different things
578
00:25:37,502 --> 00:25:39,471
-from life right now.
-That's too bad.
579
00:25:39,537 --> 00:25:43,108
Because that guy genuinely
seemed to love you.
580
00:25:43,174 --> 00:25:45,343
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
581
00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:47,612
He did.
He was protective like Noah,
582
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:50,048
and he didn't like
seeing me with Holden.
583
00:25:50,115 --> 00:25:52,751
Yeah, and I doubt
that's changed.
584
00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:54,352
The last time we talked,
585
00:25:54,419 --> 00:25:55,954
you said that
you didn't think Holden
586
00:25:56,021 --> 00:25:57,355
told me the whole story,
587
00:25:57,422 --> 00:25:59,925
that there was more to what
happened with him and Audra.
588
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:01,927
Yeah. That's true.
589
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:05,530
And that what he left out
was supposedly worse?
590
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:11,303
Do you think you're ready
to tell me the rest of it?
591
00:26:18,276 --> 00:26:20,412
I hate the idea that
592
00:26:20,478 --> 00:26:23,014
you would be scared of Mariah.
593
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:24,749
But you can understand why.
594
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:27,352
I just don't wanna think that
595
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:28,920
she would do this.
596
00:26:28,987 --> 00:26:30,188
I don't understand
the motivation.
597
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:32,424
I mean, why go after
someone else's child?
598
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:34,693
If she was gonna do this,
why not go after Aria?
599
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:38,797
This is so hard to understand.
600
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:41,900
All of this
has just made me realize...
601
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:43,735
how much Mariah has changed.
602
00:26:43,802 --> 00:26:45,971
I mean, she's basically
unrecognizable.
603
00:26:46,037 --> 00:26:48,006
There has to be something
604
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:50,442
to explain
why she would do this.
605
00:26:51,543 --> 00:26:53,611
Did Devon
tell you about the scarf?
606
00:26:53,678 --> 00:26:55,914
-What scarf?
-After Dominic went missing,
607
00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:58,016
Devon found a scarf
outside the house,
608
00:26:58,083 --> 00:27:00,552
and it was a scarf
that I gave to Mariah.
609
00:27:00,618 --> 00:27:02,454
Proving that she was there.
610
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,990
Along with security footage.
611
00:27:05,056 --> 00:27:08,927
But her phone--the location said
that she was heading south.
612
00:27:08,994 --> 00:27:11,830
Yeah, but maybe she gave it
to someone
613
00:27:11,896 --> 00:27:14,332
or lost it on purpose
to throw us off track
614
00:27:14,399 --> 00:27:17,335
when she came to Genoa City
to take Dominic?
615
00:27:17,402 --> 00:27:20,405
That is so calculated.
It's such a detailed plan.
616
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,874
That doesn't sound like Mariah.
617
00:27:22,941 --> 00:27:25,343
Is it possible that somebody
618
00:27:25,410 --> 00:27:28,880
planted this idea in her head
619
00:27:28,947 --> 00:27:31,583
to kidnap Dominic?
620
00:27:33,218 --> 00:27:35,487
Look, son, I am not my father.
621
00:27:35,553 --> 00:27:38,089
I do not enjoy getting involved
in your business,
622
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,657
and normally, I wouldn't.
623
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:41,559
Look, I know you and Mom
have had problems
624
00:27:41,626 --> 00:27:43,661
with who I've dated in the past,
625
00:27:43,728 --> 00:27:45,997
whether you thought that
I was making a wrong choice
626
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:48,833
or that they were
a bad influence on me.
627
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:50,535
I know you liked Allie.
628
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:52,737
We did. We do.
629
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:54,539
We thought
that you liked her too.
630
00:27:54,606 --> 00:27:56,274
Let's not, okay?
631
00:27:57,542 --> 00:27:59,611
Look...
632
00:27:59,677 --> 00:28:01,946
you tend to...
633
00:28:02,013 --> 00:28:05,083
look for women with
some trouble, you know?
634
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:08,353
Maybe women that you think
need rescuing.
635
00:28:08,420 --> 00:28:10,422
You probably get that from me.
636
00:28:10,488 --> 00:28:12,190
That's not why I'm with Sienna.
637
00:28:12,257 --> 00:28:15,627
I mean, Sienna's got this cool,
carefree lifestyle.
638
00:28:15,693 --> 00:28:18,830
When you met her she was
off-limits, you know, forbidden.
639
00:28:18,897 --> 00:28:20,732
Maybe that's exciting for you.
640
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,068
Come on, I'm not some
sheltered small town hick.
641
00:28:23,134 --> 00:28:25,770
I've lived in Europe.
I ran my own club in London.
642
00:28:25,837 --> 00:28:28,373
Sienna and I are a lot more
alike than you think.
643
00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:32,644
What about your future?
644
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:34,779
Have you really,
really given it some thought
645
00:28:34,846 --> 00:28:37,849
what that might look like
for the two of you?
646
00:28:37,916 --> 00:28:40,418
I've fallen in love with Sienna,
Dad.
647
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:42,787
She's special to me.
648
00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:45,857
I have been with
some incredible...women,
649
00:28:45,924 --> 00:28:48,860
but she's different
than anyone I've ever met.
650
00:28:48,927 --> 00:28:51,796
And that includes Tessa
and Allie.
651
00:28:53,264 --> 00:28:55,767
And even Audra.
652
00:28:55,834 --> 00:28:57,435
I've also dated a Newman.
653
00:28:57,502 --> 00:29:01,139
And I made the mistake of being
in business with Victor.
654
00:29:01,206 --> 00:29:03,908
I know what their world's like.
It's privileged.
655
00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:05,944
With a limited tolerance
for outsiders.
656
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:08,480
Claire is kind.
657
00:29:08,546 --> 00:29:10,715
Maybe to you,
because you placate her.
658
00:29:10,782 --> 00:29:13,585
-I'm nice to her.
-Okay, whereas I'm not.
659
00:29:13,651 --> 00:29:15,787
She's not real, Holden.
660
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:18,022
She's exactly like those girls
I knew growing up.
661
00:29:18,089 --> 00:29:21,326
And now she's looking
for ammunition.
662
00:29:21,392 --> 00:29:23,294
What happened in Los Angeles.
663
00:29:23,361 --> 00:29:26,131
You would think
she has better things to do.
664
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:28,600
After the horrible childhood
she had,
665
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,802
she should focus on
the positives in her life
666
00:29:30,869 --> 00:29:32,737
instead of coming after me.
667
00:29:32,804 --> 00:29:35,840
You went after Kyle. That is
reason enough to dislike you.
668
00:29:35,907 --> 00:29:38,877
I said I would turn over
a new leaf.
669
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:41,646
But I won't pretend
like I don't know who she is.
670
00:29:41,713 --> 00:29:43,515
She acts all sweet and innocent,
671
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:45,617
and, yes, I know I slapped her,
672
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:48,386
but she's the person
whose hands were around my neck.
673
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,356
She poisoned her entire family.
674
00:29:51,422 --> 00:29:54,492
The ones who smile to your face
and stab you in the back
675
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,594
are the ones
you should fear the most.
676
00:29:56,661 --> 00:29:58,630
Why don't you try leveling
with Claire?
677
00:29:58,696 --> 00:30:00,298
You can talk about your past,
678
00:30:00,365 --> 00:30:02,500
the bullying,
the rough childhood.
679
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:04,702
You two may have more in common
than you think.
680
00:30:04,769 --> 00:30:07,805
Claire may show you more
compassion than you expect.
681
00:30:11,109 --> 00:30:14,145
-Okay, I don't have any proof.
-That's fine.
682
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:16,214
I just suspect
that the full story
683
00:30:16,281 --> 00:30:18,082
involved more than
a stolen wallet.
684
00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:21,853
And that it was a lot worse,
and it went down in the club.
685
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,388
Why at the club?
686
00:30:23,454 --> 00:30:25,356
I don't know. It's just a hunch.
687
00:30:25,423 --> 00:30:27,425
You know,
I remember Matt had this friend.
688
00:30:27,492 --> 00:30:29,160
He was an art dealer.
689
00:30:29,227 --> 00:30:31,029
-The guy Audra was with.
-Mm-hmm.
690
00:30:31,095 --> 00:30:32,764
They came in one night,
691
00:30:32,830 --> 00:30:35,500
and then he told Matt
that Audra ripped him off.
692
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:37,869
-The check from the wallet.
-Yeah.
693
00:30:37,936 --> 00:30:41,339
The creep kept coming in
looking for Audra
694
00:30:41,406 --> 00:30:43,374
and Holden
tried to get rid of him,
695
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:45,476
and one day he just--pfff.
696
00:30:45,543 --> 00:30:47,545
He just stopped coming in.
697
00:30:47,612 --> 00:30:50,315
-Do you remember when that was?
-No. It was kind of abrupt.
698
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:52,350
Literally from one day
to the next.
699
00:30:52,417 --> 00:30:55,286
-Did he go out of town?
-Apparently, Matt reached out
700
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:56,921
to the guy's art gallery,
701
00:30:56,988 --> 00:31:00,325
and no one there
knew what happened either.
702
00:31:00,391 --> 00:31:02,827
-Well, that's strange.
-Yeah.
703
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:05,630
It's like he just vanished.
704
00:31:12,070 --> 00:31:14,772
Look, I get it.
Sienna is unique,
705
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:17,709
and I don't doubt that
you have feelings for her.
706
00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:19,444
Coulda fooled me.
707
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:21,980
You had to keep your
relationship with her secret
708
00:31:22,046 --> 00:31:23,648
from Matt and from Allie.
709
00:31:23,715 --> 00:31:25,817
Now that everything's
out in the open...
710
00:31:25,883 --> 00:31:27,652
You don't think
we stand a chance.
711
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:30,054
I just think you need to be
really cautious.
712
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,991
And you need to seriously
consider uprooting your life
713
00:31:33,057 --> 00:31:34,692
and moving to LA for this woman.
714
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:37,195
Look, I get that you and Mom
wanna look out for me.
715
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:39,831
I really appreciate that, but
you don't get to run my life.
716
00:31:39,897 --> 00:31:41,499
This isn't up for your approval.
717
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,568
Noah, I'm your dad, okay?
718
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:45,503
I'm gonna give you
my two cents.
719
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:46,904
Yeah. I think that was
720
00:31:46,971 --> 00:31:48,640
at least a few dollars' worth
of commentary.
721
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:50,775
I don't want you to get hurt.
722
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:52,844
Or taken advantage of.
723
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:55,013
Matt could have killed you.
724
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,649
And you think Sienna is somehow
still a threat to me.
725
00:31:57,715 --> 00:31:59,183
[Nick sighs]
726
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:00,752
Look, I'm here.
727
00:32:00,818 --> 00:32:02,453
I-I'm okay.
728
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,622
But there's nothing
that you or Mom can say
729
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:06,724
that'll make me change the way
I feel about Sienna
730
00:32:06,791 --> 00:32:11,462
or make me rethink my decision
to go with her to LA.
731
00:32:11,529 --> 00:32:13,064
So your mind's made up?
732
00:32:13,131 --> 00:32:16,701
Once everything
is sorted out with Mariah,
733
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:18,836
Sienna and I will leave town
734
00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:21,105
and start our life together,
735
00:32:21,172 --> 00:32:24,642
even if that's not
what you want to hear.
736
00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:28,780
So you think that someone might
have told Mariah to do this,
737
00:32:28,846 --> 00:32:32,216
-that coached her?
-Or she had an accomplice.
738
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:33,918
Or maybe this is all her.
739
00:32:33,985 --> 00:32:35,620
I mean, despite how strong
she is,
740
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:37,855
she has been struggling
for a while now.
741
00:32:37,922 --> 00:32:39,824
She does have a history
742
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:41,826
of not always doing
the right thing.
743
00:32:41,893 --> 00:32:44,262
And if she did try to kill
the man in the hotel room
744
00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:46,064
like she said she did,
she would be
745
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:49,167
incredibly vulnerable
and fragile and scared.
746
00:32:49,233 --> 00:32:52,003
And potentially dangerous.
747
00:32:53,671 --> 00:32:57,542
What if Ian...
is the catalyst for all of this?
748
00:32:57,608 --> 00:32:59,711
Mariah felt so guilty
when he killed Heather
749
00:32:59,777 --> 00:33:01,813
and tried to set you up.
750
00:33:01,879 --> 00:33:04,182
Because it was about her.
751
00:33:04,248 --> 00:33:06,718
Ian wanted Mariah
back in the fold.
752
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:08,419
And then she goes on
this business trip
753
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,188
and meets a man
who resembles Ian
754
00:33:10,254 --> 00:33:13,224
and she just...snapped.
755
00:33:13,291 --> 00:33:14,859
It is possible
756
00:33:14,926 --> 00:33:18,029
that Ian left a strong
impression on Mariah,
757
00:33:18,096 --> 00:33:20,098
her psyche,
how she views herself.
758
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:21,866
I mean, yeah.
He was like a father.
759
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:24,068
He was like a father figure.
A twisted one.
760
00:33:24,135 --> 00:33:26,504
What she's done--
it almost sounds like him,
761
00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:29,040
taking a child
away from his parents?
762
00:33:29,107 --> 00:33:30,708
That's exactly
what happened to her.
763
00:33:30,775 --> 00:33:33,811
She's been so angry at herself.
764
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:36,547
-The self-loathing...
-So, what, then?
765
00:33:36,614 --> 00:33:38,549
Mariah embraces the darkness,
766
00:33:38,616 --> 00:33:41,052
all the ugly parts of her
that she doesn't like
767
00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:43,654
that remind her of Ian?
768
00:33:43,721 --> 00:33:45,923
Was she planning this
from the start?
769
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:47,925
Maybe that's why
she's been pushing us away
770
00:33:47,992 --> 00:33:49,460
and didn't want us around.
771
00:33:49,527 --> 00:33:52,263
When we spoke on the phone
when she was in the clinic,
772
00:33:52,330 --> 00:33:54,799
she wanted to see me.
773
00:33:54,866 --> 00:33:57,535
She sounded...terrified.
774
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,804
Is it possible
that something else happened
775
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:01,706
when she was inside?
776
00:34:01,773 --> 00:34:04,642
But why do all of this?
Why take Dominic?
777
00:34:04,709 --> 00:34:08,246
Why put Abby and Devon
through this hell?
778
00:34:08,312 --> 00:34:10,648
We have got to find out
where she's headed
779
00:34:10,715 --> 00:34:12,550
and what her plan is now.
780
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:14,519
But how?
781
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,656
Bare my soul to Claire?
782
00:34:18,723 --> 00:34:21,426
Thanks, but no.
Not a chance in hell.
783
00:34:21,492 --> 00:34:24,028
Don't keep on this path.
784
00:34:24,095 --> 00:34:26,431
Are you sure
you wouldn't like to see
785
00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:28,666
Claire and me keep fighting?
786
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:31,202
Something tells me you like it.
787
00:34:31,269 --> 00:34:34,071
Maybe you see this as us
competing for your attention.
788
00:34:34,138 --> 00:34:36,607
Let me stop you right there. No.
789
00:34:36,674 --> 00:34:38,776
I don't want any trouble, Audra.
790
00:34:38,843 --> 00:34:40,812
I have to thank you, though,
for reminding me
791
00:34:40,878 --> 00:34:42,980
why I hate that little princess
so much.
792
00:34:43,047 --> 00:34:45,216
Is this really worth it?
793
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:47,118
Look at you.
794
00:34:47,185 --> 00:34:50,521
Just twisting yourself into
knots to defend her.
795
00:34:51,489 --> 00:34:52,857
Remember our agreement.
796
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:54,859
I'll stick to it as long as
797
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:57,261
you hold up
your end of the bargain--
798
00:34:57,328 --> 00:35:00,198
Claire never finds out
what really happened in LA.
799
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:02,867
-I won't say anything else.
-Good.
800
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:05,603
Because if Claire
comes after me again,
801
00:35:05,670 --> 00:35:07,772
all bets are off.
802
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:12,210
So the art dealer went missing
and no one came looking for him?
803
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:15,313
I don't think he was
the most popular person.
804
00:35:15,379 --> 00:35:18,015
I think his colleagues
did some searching, but...
805
00:35:18,082 --> 00:35:19,984
didn't turn up anything.
806
00:35:20,051 --> 00:35:21,886
I wonder
if he was reported missing.
807
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:23,988
Do you remember his name?
808
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:26,457
I asked Holden,
but he danced around it.
809
00:35:26,524 --> 00:35:28,726
You wanna look into this
further?
810
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:32,296
I'd like to do some digging,
yeah.
811
00:35:32,363 --> 00:35:35,032
I'm curious what exactly
happened to him.
