00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:09,255
Just my ex, not yours. Got it.
177
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:13,360
Hey. That's very different.
You know that.
178
00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:17,230
If Chelsea's your bridesmaid,
that makes Adam her plus-one.
179
00:08:18,398 --> 00:08:20,934
Maybe, yeah. But maybe
he wouldn't even wanna come.
180
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:25,105
Sure. Maybe we tell him
we ran out of chairs in advance.
181
00:08:25,205 --> 00:08:26,906
Yeah. I don't think
we can do that.
182
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:28,975
Look, your instincts are pure.
183
00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:30,810
I get that, okay?
184
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:33,446
And you're right, maybe Adam
doesn't wanna sit there
185
00:08:33,546 --> 00:08:38,351
and listen to us and our vows
about love and fidelity.
186
00:08:38,451 --> 00:08:41,554
Yeah, I know, after he and
Chelsea cheated on you and me.
187
00:08:41,654 --> 00:08:44,257
-Yeah. It's thick with irony.
-Yeah, it is.
188
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:46,393
If that's what we choose
to focus on.
189
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:48,695
But how long are we
gonna hold on to that?
190
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:51,231
This baby is us.
191
00:08:51,998 --> 00:08:55,035
He or she exists
because we fell in love.
192
00:08:55,135 --> 00:08:57,303
And, yeah, how it happened,
it's really complicated
193
00:08:57,404 --> 00:08:59,005
and there's a lot of painful
memories,
194
00:08:59,105 --> 00:09:02,075
but there's a lot of
really wonderful ones too.
195
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:04,644
You know, the three of us.
196
00:09:04,744 --> 00:09:06,813
We're a miracle.
197
00:09:06,913 --> 00:09:08,882
So why don't we just
focus on us
198
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:11,184
and let go of the rest?
199
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,424
No, thank you, Detective.
We do appreciate the call.
200
00:09:17,524 --> 00:09:19,559
So they still haven't
found Patty. Why?
201
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:22,162
Because she's so subtle, she
just blends into the woodwork?
202
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:24,297
No sign of Patty
anywhere in Genoa City.
203
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:26,466
Yeah, but Jack, you're here,
which means she's here.
204
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:28,201
She's probably lying in wait
somewhere,
205
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:30,336
talking to another
creepy stuffed cat.
206
00:09:30,437 --> 00:09:32,739
And no one cares, right?
Not the facility
207
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:34,874
that set her free
before she came to town.
208
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:36,676
-Sweetheart--
-Not the prison
209
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:38,244
who fell for her tricks.
210
00:09:38,344 --> 00:09:41,114
Are you kidding me? Two
attempted murders aren't enough
211
00:09:41,214 --> 00:09:42,849
to get the authorities'
attention?
212
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:44,617
Oh, believe me,
she's got their attention.
213
00:09:44,717 --> 00:09:46,186
Burrow said they sent out BOLOs
214
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:47,754
with photographs
and descriptions.
215
00:09:47,854 --> 00:09:49,889
Okay. BOLO--be on the lookout
216
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:52,559
for an evil,
bleach-blonde psychopath.
217
00:09:52,659 --> 00:09:54,794
It was supposed to be over,
Jack.
218
00:09:54,894 --> 00:09:56,830
-I am tired of this.
-Okay.
219
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,165
We have to be vigilant.
That doesn't mean
220
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:03,036
we put our lives on hold--life
is full of risks and dangers.
221
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:04,871
We have to move on.
222
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:07,173
Yes, but when do we
get a chance to breathe,
223
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:09,275
to let our guard down?
I mean, we...
224
00:10:09,375 --> 00:10:10,910
we almost lost each other.
225
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:13,079
To a breakup, to death,
226
00:10:13,179 --> 00:10:15,915
to outside influences.
227
00:10:16,015 --> 00:10:19,285
I just wanna enjoy every moment
that I have with you.
228
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:21,821
And that's what we will do.
229
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:24,858
-[knock on door]
-[gasps]
230
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:27,026
-It's okay.
-You see? A knock on the door,
231
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:29,028
-and I'm jumping out of my skin.
-It affected me too.
232
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:31,097
Let me get this. Stay there.
233
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:34,501
You'll never guess who it is.
234
00:10:34,601 --> 00:10:36,569
And it's not that scary.
Come on in.
235
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:38,538
Wow, uh, thank you for that.
236
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:41,574
Uh, it's nice to see you too.
237
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:50,049
BILLY: There's more to this
for me, okay?
238
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:53,052
This goes back a lotta years.
239
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:55,421
Yeah, I know.
To Delia's death.
240
00:10:55,522 --> 00:10:57,957
And, look, I would never wanna
minimize any of your feelings,
241
00:10:58,057 --> 00:10:59,792
'cause I know the pain's
not cut and dry.
242
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:01,327
I know you wouldn't do that.
243
00:11:01,427 --> 00:11:04,564
Look, I've spent a lot of time
and worked really hard
244
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,332
to try and take a certain amount
of responsibility
245
00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:09,469
for what happened that night.
246
00:11:09,569 --> 00:11:11,337
But even still,
I think about that night
247
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,840
and I see the darkness...
248
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:16,342
the dog, the damn ice cream.
249
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:19,078
-Leaving her in the car.
-Hey, Billy, it was wrong of me
250
00:11:19,179 --> 00:11:21,181
to mention it--
we don't have to talk about it.
251
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:23,183
No, we have talked about it,
and we've talked about
252
00:11:23,283 --> 00:11:25,084
what it was like
to lose our girls
253
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:28,121
and how that pain
never goes away.
254
00:11:28,221 --> 00:11:32,859
The truth is, I do have some
compassion for Adam, because...
255
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:35,395
of what the two of you
went through, but that goes away
256
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:38,731
when I think about the vicious
mistakes he continued to make.
257
00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:40,567
When he lied about
Delia's death,
258
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:43,603
when he covered up evidence,
when he lied to me...
259
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,405
even after we donated
Delia's corneas
260
00:11:45,505 --> 00:11:47,974
to save Connor's eyesight, so...
261
00:11:48,074 --> 00:11:49,943
you can imagine I see his face
262
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:53,880
and I see the worst days
of my life.
263
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:57,917
I don't wanna see his face on
one of the best days of my life.
264
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:01,154
I don't have to ask Chelsea,
honestly.
265
00:12:01,254 --> 00:12:03,423
It was just an impulse.
I probably should have
266
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:04,724
-just let it go.
-Hey, I know you.
267
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:06,459
Your impulses are pure.
268
00:12:07,961 --> 00:12:10,330
Maybe Chelsea would love to
ditch Adam for the day.
269
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:13,900
Okay? I don't think he's gonna
wanna sit there and listen to me
270
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,403
go on and on about
how much in love with you I am.
271
00:12:18,605 --> 00:12:20,440
I mean, I seriously doubt
he's gonna wanna come,
272
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,710
but I don't think
we can count on that.
273
00:12:23,810 --> 00:12:25,612
She and I bonded.
274
00:12:25,712 --> 00:12:27,647
I don't have to make
a big deal of it.
275
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,149
Honestly, probably saved me
a lot of embarrassment.
276
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:33,286
Knowing Chelsea, she would
probably really appreciate it.
277
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:35,255
Look, I got no problem
telling her
278
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:37,457
that Adam's not allowed there,
okay?
279
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:39,125
She'll understand.
280
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:41,094
I know. I just can't...
281
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:44,530
I feel bad asking her
for a favor
282
00:12:44,631 --> 00:12:46,266
and then making her feel
unwelcome.
283
00:12:46,366 --> 00:12:48,134
It's not her that's unwanted.
284
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:50,069
Yeah, but it's the person
that she loves.
285
00:12:50,169 --> 00:12:52,138
Might not be polite,
but it's reasonable.
286
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:55,575
Look...
287
00:12:55,675 --> 00:12:58,778
I know how important this day
is for you, for us,
288
00:12:58,878 --> 00:13:00,747
so if you want Chelsea there...
289
00:13:00,847 --> 00:13:03,283
I'm not gonna
get in the way of that.
290
00:13:04,317 --> 00:13:06,085
I mean, at least you're not
reconnecting with Adam.
291
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:08,588
Yeah. That's true.
292
00:13:09,656 --> 00:13:11,557
But also not.
293
00:13:13,926 --> 00:13:15,762
Billy's wounds are deep.
294
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,631
And I know the best I can hope
for the two of you at this point
295
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:21,200
is controlled snark.
296
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:24,137
Yeah. Mutual avoidance.
That's always my preference.
297
00:13:24,237 --> 00:13:26,306
-Is it?
-Of course.
298
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:29,876
The last thing that I wanna do
is deal with that guy.
299
00:13:29,976 --> 00:13:31,911
What? It's true.
300
00:13:32,011 --> 00:13:34,547
You engage, Adam. Don't deny it,
because it's true.
301
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,983
The two of you--
you have this habit.
302
00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:39,319
You can't resist the snark
and the insults,
303
00:13:39,419 --> 00:13:40,853
and you do it with a smile,
304
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:42,622
which implies
it'll just be banter,
305
00:13:42,722 --> 00:13:45,158
but everyone around you knows
punches are about to fly.
306
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:49,028
Well, I'm ready to get past
the insults--I've been ready.
307
00:13:49,128 --> 00:13:52,131
I've tried. I mean, Billy's
the one who won't let it happen.
308
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:54,233
It just makes me sad.
309
00:13:55,268 --> 00:13:57,670
For Sally and me.
She didn't deserve any of this.
310
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:01,541
If you wanna be friends,
I'm all for it.
311
00:14:01,641 --> 00:14:03,843
She's a good person.
312
00:14:03,943 --> 00:14:05,611
-And so are you.
-Well, friends
313
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:07,880
is probably a lot to hope for.
314
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:10,350
But, uh, we do have
a lot in common, you know?
315
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:13,686
Fashion, design,
media companies, Chloe.
316
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:16,089
Partners who can't stand
each other.
317
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:18,758
Look, we're never gonna
double date,
318
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,526
and that's okay.
319
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:22,929
I mean, look at Jack and Nikki.
They're friends...
320
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:24,997
-despite my father.
-Well, there you go.
321
00:14:25,098 --> 00:14:28,167
Perfect example.
The eternal battle.
322
00:14:28,267 --> 00:14:30,870
Newmans versus Abbotts.
323
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:33,072
And nobody ever wins.
324
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:35,908
I was so relieved
when I found out
325
00:14:36,008 --> 00:14:37,977
your heart attack was a hoax.
326
00:14:38,077 --> 00:14:39,746
And you do look well.
327
00:14:39,846 --> 00:14:41,214
Well, it's a shame that Jack
328
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:43,983
had to go to so much effort
yet again because of Patty.
329
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:45,952
If only she hadn't been
brought back to town
330
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:47,754
by your husband
to terrorize us again.
331
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:51,391
Well, let's hope that's the last
we've seen of her.
332
00:14:51,491 --> 00:14:52,825
Yes, or that she's far,
far away.
333
00:14:52,925 --> 00:14:54,160
That's all we can
really hope for.
334
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:55,728
You know,
I hope for so much more.
335
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:57,397
But anyway, Nikki,
what brings you by,
336
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:59,966
if not to make sure
that Jack's still standing?
337
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:03,002
Well, I have real business
to discuss.
338
00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:06,439
I have a launch date
for Vibrante.
339
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:08,141
February 14th.
340
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,309
Oh, how special.
341
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:14,046
Happy Valentine's Day
to all of us.

Well, even this is pushing it.
527
00:23:46,358 --> 00:23:48,494
Yeah. Let's see how long
that lasts.
528
00:23:50,296 --> 00:23:53,499
Victor doesn't control Vibrante
or me.
529
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:55,434
In fact, I answer to Victoria,
530
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,570
and she has given me
complete autonomy.
531
00:23:58,671 --> 00:24:01,473
So, no, Victor will not be
waiting for some fight
532
00:24:01,573 --> 00:24:03,309
that will never come.
533
00:24:03,409 --> 00:24:06,445
But I worried that
there were lingering concerns,
534
00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,681
and I just wanted to
put them to rest.

Well, thank you for that,
and I trust you.
536

Well, not everyone does.
537
00:24:13,752 --> 00:24:16,755
Tell me, Nikki, if Vibrante
is slow getting out of the gate
538
00:24:16,855 --> 00:24:19,191
-and panic sets in--
-Oh, no, that won't happen.
539
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:20,960
I'm not prone to panic.
540
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:23,162
Oh, so you wouldn't use
Newman Media
541
00:24:23,262 --> 00:24:25,597
to take a swipe at Jabot
542
00:24:25,698 --> 00:24:28,200
or maybe sabotage
our supply chain?
543
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,969
I mean, not you, of course,
544
00:24:30,069 --> 00:24:33,772
but perhaps someone at Vibrante
who's taking orders from Victor.
545
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:35,507
That won't be an issue.
546
00:24:35,607 --> 00:24:37,409
The market is always evolving.
547
00:24:37,509 --> 00:24:39,311
We always have new competition.
548
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:41,246
Yeah, and most startups fail
anyway...
549
00:24:41,347 --> 00:24:42,715
you know,
poor planning and whatnot.
550
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,817
Well, usually,
that's a lack of capital,
551
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:47,019
and that's certainly not gonna
be an issue for the Newmans.
552
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,154
It seems like you're good to go.
553
00:24:49,254 --> 00:24:51,090
Oh, I know we are.
554
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:54,059
I promise to share with you
any changes in the marketplace
555
00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:57,463
and I intend to keep
that promise. But...

I don't think you need me
for much else.
557

No. I have a lot of faith
in you.
558

Well, I'm sure that means the
world to Nikki, if not Victor.

JACK: Well, there will always be
tension in the two families,
560
00:25:07,539 --> 00:25:10,976

Jabot being hit by a newbie.

You know, Diane, it sounds like
565
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:23,255

And I understand your optimism.

00:31:51,443 --> 00:31:54,479
So--so tell me,
why are you so surprised
689
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:57,416
that this is hard for me?
690
00:31:58,383 --> 00:32:01,520
That's so strange. Am I flushed?
691
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:03,388
I mean, I feel fine.
692
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,192
Maybe it's the onset
of something.
693
00:32:07,292 --> 00:32:09,461
Have you had enough water
today?
694
00:32:09,561 --> 00:32:11,763
Oh, uh, well,
I'll get right on that.

[phone chimes]
696
00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:21,339
Do you need to deal with that?
697
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,808
Gosh, it's so annoying.
698
00:32:22,908 --> 00:32:25,477
It's like there's no such thing
as enough information
699
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:26,812
for some people.
700
00:32:26,912 --> 00:32:29,247
Ugh, I know.
I've been there many times.

[phone chimes]
702
00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:56,508
You don't have to do that,
Sally.
703
00:32:56,608 --> 00:32:58,477
As in I...I shouldn't have?
704
00:32:58,577 --> 00:33:01,146
No, no, no, not at all.
It's so sweet,
705
00:33:01,246 --> 00:33:03,648
and I'm truly touched.
706
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:06,318
But I just wanted to be there
for you before.
707
00:33:06,418 --> 00:33:08,086
It was a bit much, wasn't it?
708
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:10,222
I was really worried about that.
I know it's out of the blue.
709
00:33:10,322 --> 00:33:12,891
I'm probably still being
overemotional and now, great,
710
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:14,693
I feel like I overstepped.
711
00:33:14,793 --> 00:33:17,128
Not at all, no!
I'm glad you asked.
712
00:33:17,229 --> 00:33:20,532
And, yes, I'm a little shocked,
but it's so kind of you.
713
00:33:20,632 --> 00:33:22,367
I mean, it's selfish, really,
714
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,269
'cause you just have
such a calming presence.
715
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:25,904
And Chloe is not gonna
be there,
716
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:27,906
and the wedding planner
kind of scares me, so...
717
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,141
I have heard tales of Pietro.
718
00:33:30,242 --> 00:33:31,576
But it's fine. Really.
719
00:33:31,676 --> 00:33:34,145
We can just totally forget
I even asked.
720
00:33:36,248 --> 00:33:38,817
No, actually,
I am not gonna forget.
721
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:40,886
Because I accept.
722
00:33:40,986 --> 00:33:42,821
Really?
723
00:33:42,921 --> 00:33:44,789
It's not like a pity yes, is it?
724
00:33:44,890 --> 00:33:46,024
Was it a pity invitation?
725
00:33:46,124 --> 00:33:47,859
No! Not at all.
726
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:49,594
Okay, then count me in.
727
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,930
Okay! Well, good.
Yeah, I'm so glad!
728
00:33:52,030 --> 00:33:53,365
-Yeah.
-Okay!
729
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:54,666
I'm glad too.
730
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:57,702
Uh, so get me caught up to
speed. What do I wear?
731
00:33:57,802 --> 00:33:59,404
Oh, and can I help plan
your bachelorette?
732
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:00,906
Oh, um...
733
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:04,309
Audra. Audra doesn't know about
any of this yet, does she?
734
00:34:04,409 --> 00:34:05,977
That's on my to-do list.
735
00:34:06,077 --> 00:34:07,746
I'll make sure I'm not there
when you tell her.
736
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:10,749
See? There you go. You already
know the right thing to do.
737
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:12,784
Um...
738
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:15,353
One other awkward thing.
739
00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:17,355
Adam.
740
00:34:17,455 --> 00:34:19,891
Yeah, um...
741
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:22,827
-Billy already mentioned that.
-As in there's no way in hell?
742
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:25,363
Not...entirely.
743
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:26,965
Um...
744
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,668
I'm not sure I could see Adam
wanting to come.
745
00:34:29,768 --> 00:34:32,604
Yeah, right? 'Cause he and Billy
can't even be in the same room
746
00:34:32,704 --> 00:34:34,039
for more than five minutes
at a time, so...
747
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:36,007
Right. And that's probably
not gonna change anytime soon.
748
00:34:36,107 --> 00:34:38,677
But I'll be there with, you
know, a tissue, in case you cry.
749
00:34:38,777 --> 00:34:41,346
And lip gloss
in case you need it
750
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:43,515
and anything else
that's important.
751
00:34:44,382 --> 00:34:47,652
Thank you, Sally. It's really
kind of you to include me.
752
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,522
I mean, we have a lot in common.
753
00:34:50,622 --> 00:34:53,291
It just only...made sense.
754
00:34:53,391 --> 00:34:57,762
Yeah, in, like the nicest...
weirdest way.
755
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:01,166
Okay.
756
00:35:02,367 --> 00:35:03,568
Thank you.
757
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:09,441
You know, Adam,
for once in your life,
758
00:35:09,541 --> 00:35:12,177
don't be a complete jerk, okay?
759
00:35:12,277 --> 00:35:14,379
You owe Sally, and still,
in a million years,
760
00:35:14,479 --> 00:35:16,214
you could never make it up
to her.
761
00:35:16,314 --> 00:35:19,884
And I promise you this. I will
not let you ruin her big day.
762

Billy, I know exactly
what Sally deserves...
763
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:28,226
but she's marrying you anyway.
764
00:35:28,326 --> 00:35:30,996
So I'm not gonna pile on.
765
00:35:31,096 --> 00:35:32,397
So you'll stay away.
766
00:35:32,497 --> 00:35:33,898
That...
767
00:35:33,999 --> 00:35:35,700
I don't know.
768
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,402
Couldn't say yes? Hmm?
769
00:35:37,502 --> 00:35:39,971
If Chelsea wants me there,
I'm not gonna tell her no.
770
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:43,241
Right, 'cause you're such
a great, loyal guy.

Look, if I do go, just try to
act like a grownup.

I know it's a big ask,

00:35:48,313 --> 00:35:51,049
but just do your best,
all right?
774

though...
