>> Victor: I wonder what's keeping your mother.
>> Victoria: Well, it's traffic, probably.
I called her when she was on her way home, and she said she'd
come straight back. >> Nick: Can you give us a hint
as to why we've been summoned here?
>> Adam: Patience, Nick. I know it's hard.
>> Victoria: As promised, I'm gonna fill you in about my plan
on Ashland. But I would like to not have to
repeat myself. So can we please wait for Mom
to get here? >> Victor: There she is.
>> Victoria: I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna cut to the chase.
I've given this a lot of thought, and I have come up with
a way to deal with Ashland in the way he should be dealt with.
>> Victor: I'm glad to hear you say that.
>> Nikki: Yes. So am I. >> Nick: We've all been worried,
Vick. But thank you for clarifying on
where you stand with things. It's been a little hard to tell.
>> Adam: I assume you have a new plan?
>> Victoria: You assume correctly.
You each have a part to play. Each one is very crucial in
pulling this off. We have to make Ashland believe
that this is real. Otherwise, it's not gonna work.
There is one caveat, however. If we want this plan to succeed,
it means that one of us... has to fall.

♪♪ ♪♪
>> Billy: "Love is blind" -- a term that has been used for a
very long time, dating back to ancient Greece.
Chaucer used it in the Middle Ages and Shakespeare
during the Renaissance. But what does it really mean?
Simply that when we love someone, we tend to overlook
their flaws. Or we lose sight -- see what I
did there? -- on our own self-interest.
So the power-hungry megalomaniac becomes "strong and confident"
to their beloved. The manipulative control freak
comes across as "protective." And that kind of love can raise
the heights of your physical senses, as well, but it can also
do a number on your common sense.
[ Clears throat ] It's just very difficult to see
someone for who they really are when you love them.
And maybe it's not even love. Maybe it's infatuation.
Maybe it's obsession. Maybe it's something completely
different. [ Sighs ]
Straight-up denial. There's lust -- that's a biggie.
Feelings of inadequacy, Daddy issues, Mommy issues.
But the simple fact is, the crazy thing about it, no matter
how smart you are or put-together or responsible or
all those other things... everyone in the world is
affected by this. No one is immune.
>> Victoria: It took a little bit of finesse, but I was able
to convince Ashland that I continue to support him.
And that I agree that he has been set up.
In our discussions, an idea struck me -- that maybe Adam
could have framed him. He had the wherewithal and he
had the motive to try to push Ashland out and make me look
incompetent and naive at the same time.
Adam has the naked ambition and the animosity towards Ashland,
a long history of deception, and even lying about his own health
crisis once upon a time, that make him the perfect suspect.
>> Adam: Okay. So your plan is to remove
Ashland from Newman/Locke by throwing me under the bus?
>> Victoria: It's all for the good of the company.
And -- >> Adam: And you.
It's perfectly clear what's in it for our "fearless leader."
>> Billy: How is it that love can so completely cloud the
judgment of an otherwise intelligent, rational human
being? Maybe we all have this image in
our head of "the ideal partner" for us and we make ourselves
believe that our main squeeze is the end-all, be-all, the --
the whole package for us, even when there is irrefutable
evidence to the contrary. We tell ourselves that we
understand them better than anyone else and we accept their
mistakes and that's not who they really are because we know them
[sighs] even when the rest of the world clearly knows that
it's all an illusion. So, what do we do when we see
someone in love with that illusion or clinging to the idea
of someone that doesn't even exist?
What happens when that someone confides in us, trusts us?
Where do we draw the line on setting them straight?
Do we say anything at all to them?
And what happens when... we love that person?
Are we obligated to say something or --
Hey. >> Lily: Hi. Sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt. >> Billy: No. It's okay.
I, uh -- I didn't know that you were still awake.
>> Lily: Yeah, I'm just winding down.
Is that for the podcast? >> Billy: Oh, I don't know.
Maybe. Right now it just sounds like
rambling. >> Lily: Well, I think it was
coherent enough for me to know that you were talking about
Victoria. And it sounds like you feel like
you're not doing enough to help her?
>> Victoria: All I'm asking you to do is to put aside our
differences and just take a look at the whole picture.
What I'm proposing -- it's just for appearances' sake.
It will stay in the family. And you will not take the fall
for anything...the way that I did when you tampered with Dad's
medication and I was arrested. >> Adam: You think I owe you
one. >> Nick: Sounds right to me.
>> Adam: Well, nobody asked you. >> Victor: Let us please stay
on track. >> Victoria: Adam, you being a
part of this plan is crucial. You have to be on board.
>> Adam: [ Laughs ] I can see why you'd feel that way.
>> Victoria: That is not an answer.
>> Adam: I have yet to hear any questions.
So far, all I've heard is demands.
[ Door opens ] >> Michael: Ah! There they are.
Victor. >> Victor: Thanks, old boy, for
coming. >> Michael: I'm sorry I'm late,
Victoria. I was just double-checking a few
things. I think I've -- I've found the
answer to our problem. >> Victoria: Ooh. Good news?
>> Michael: There's an obscure clause in the CEO contract
relating to activities and behavior of the parties...
after signing. >> Nikki: A morals clause.
>> Michael: Of sorts. But the important thing is, it
provides us grounds to nullify Ashland's contract.
>> Victoria: Thank God. I was praying there was
something. >> Victor: Michael, what will it
take in terms of legal gymnastics?
>> Michael: Oh, well, the language is such that a skilled
attorney -- such as myself -- could interpret it to include a
whole host of things, all sorts of illegal activities, providing
the board with the grounds to void a CEO's contract.
The offending party would be out, no recourse, no golden
parachute. >> Adam: Okay. Let me guess.
The plan is for Ashland to fabricate evidence against me --
plant it -- and then catch him in the act.
You're using the same aborted plan as Billy did on your own
husband? >> Victoria: Oh, I never thought
of it that way. You're right.
That's a very good parallel. >> Nikki: However, unlike that
scheme, this would just be all for show where you're concerned.
>> Adam: Hmm. Well, um, for this all to, uh,
play out correctly, I would need to stay on as temporary CEO.
[ Nick and Victoria scoff ] >> Nick: Seriously?
>> Victor: Now, son, since Ashland Locke and Victoria are
no longer flying to Tuscany, there's no sense in you staying
on as CEO, is there? >> Adam: I have the utmost
confidence in Victoria to sell this to Ashland.
I mean, if anything, it's gonna free her up to concentrate on
your maneuvers and kind of figure out, you know --
>> Nick: How is Victoria gonna get him to buy this?
Ashland is a lot of things. Stupid is not one of them.
>> Victoria: Is that what you've been thinking about this whole
time? How you're gonna stay in my
chair a little bit longer? You know it was all supposed to
be temporary, don't you? >> Adam: If you'll let me finish
my thought. In order for me to fall from
grace, I need somewhere to fall from.
So you can tell your hubby that Victor insisted on it because
he's upset that you keep siding with Ashland.
And then when the "proof" comes out that I set him up, um, you
can have Dad fire me. For appearances' sake.
'Cause, like you said, it won't be real.
However, I trust that this tweak, uh, will improve the plan
significantly. [ Alert sounds ]
Well, what do you know? Someone is trying to break into
my work computer as we speak. Who could that be?
I wonder. >> Victoria: It's Ashland.
He's already taken the bait. >> Nikki: That was quick.
>> Michael: Eager to save his good name.
Not a moment to lose. >> Victor: Adam, can you
remotely change the setting and let him gain access?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. >> Victor: Then do it.
>> Adam: I take this to mean we're gonna stick to the
original plan and I'll just carry on as temporary CEO?
>> Ashland: [ Breathes deeply ] Ah.
[ Keys clacking ] [ Computer beeps ]
Finally. Okay.
Let's see what we've got. [ Keys clacking ]
>> Nick: If Ashland's already messing with your computer,
it sounds like the plan's in motion.
>> Adam: I have the ability to bounce him back out.
Or I could let him stay and rifle through everything and do
his worst. It's your plan. Your call.
>> Victoria: I think your idea is sound.
We'll run with it. As you said, it solidifies the
plan. >> Adam: I think so.
>> Victoria: So I will tell Ashland that Dad insisted that
you stay put, as you've suggested.
>> Nikki: How can you be sure Ashland will buy it?
>> Victoria: Well, I will just tell him that I -- I didn't
fight it that hard because I saw it as a way for us to keep an
eye on Adam while this unfolds. And he will become obsessed
about setting you up as the one behind all the "lies" about him
faking his illness. >> Adam: I will be the
sacrificial lamb. >> Victoria: And I will be his
constant cheerleader. Questions?
Concerns? >> Nick: Yeah. Like a dozen.
>> Victoria: But other than that, you're good?
>> Nick: Yeah, it sounds like you and Adam are doing all the
heavy lifting and we're just kind of winging it, so...
>> Victor: We'll keep each other informed.
>> Victoria: Absolutely. That's key.
>> Michael: Always good to have one's stories straight.
>> Nikki: My immediate concern, darling, is you.
I mean, the stress of continuing this charade with a man you now
despise... >> Victoria: Mother, please
trust me on this. I can handle it.
And it's all gonna work out in the end.
>> Victor: Your husband is a desperate man, sweetheart.
And your plan feeds right into his paranoia and delusions.
While he's preparing to take down Adam, we will all prepare
to take him down. >> Victoria: You were very
amenable to this from the very beginning.
I have a feeling that you contacted my father after we
spoke. >> Michael: Of course I did.
I work for Victor. He'd already instructed me to
find something in the contract we might be able to use against
Ashland. Naturally, I informed him that
you had come to me with the same request.
>> Victoria: Naturally. >> Michael: I can't imagine
you'd have a problem with it since we both have the same
goals. >> Victoria: You're right.
I don't. Thank you, everyone.
I'm really glad that we're all on the same page.
>> Nick: I'm just glad you see Ashland for who he really is and
you understand that he has got to go.
>> Adam: Victoria, you had, uh, one caveat.
Now I have mine. We're going up against a shrewd,
clever, extremely resourceful man who has managed to escape
accountability for his whole life.
I imagine at some point he's gonna trip up over his own ego.
But until then, we need to be careful and vigilant.
Which boils down to...never underestimate your opponent.
[ Door closes ] >> Billy: So, if you could tell
that was about Victoria after that last little snippet, then
the Newmans sure as hell will be able to tell, and she will, too.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Wouldn't surprise me.
>> Billy: So probably not the best subject for a podcast right
about now. >> Lily: Well, forget the
podcast. I mean, clearly this is
bothering you. >> Billy: Yeah.
It's just something that I'm dealing with, a little dilemma.
You know, after learning the truth about Ashland and how
that's affecting Victoria, I have to question --
Do I stick my nose in it, or do I stay the hell out?
[ Keys clacking ] [ Doorknob rattling ]
>> Sally: Adam, are you in there?
Adam? >> Adam: Oh, you're here late.
>> Sally: Why is your door locked?
>> Adam: Uh, it's been a long day.
Why don't we, um, go somewhere where we can talk and have a
drink? >> Sally: Okay.
[ Lock disengages ]
>> Victor: Michael, good work, as always.
>> Michael: Thank you. Whatever I can do to help stick
it to Ashland, just let me know. After that stint in a filthy
South American jail, I'm more than ready to see the bastard
get his. >> Nick: Just glad you made it
out safe. And that you're on our side.
>> Michael: Me too. What Ashland pulled with your
family is outrageous. >> Nikki: [ Scoffs ] You'll get
no argument from me. >> Victoria: Or me.
>> Michael: All right, well, keep me apprised.
Victor, good night. >> Victor: Thank you for your
work, old boy. >> Michael: Alright.
>> Victor: Nice to see you. >> Michael: Thank you.
>> Victor: Alright. >> Michael: Good night, all.
>> Nikki: Thank you, Michael. >> Victoria: Good night.
[ Door closes ] >> Nikki: So, what's our next
step? >> Victor: That depends on how
Ashland Locke will handle the "breach" to Adam's computer.
>> Victoria: It would be interesting to see how much he
shares with me. >> Victor: We'll take our lead
from you, and that way, we can all work together.
>> Victoria: Well, you three will, and Michael.
But Adam -- I'm not holding my breath.
>> Nikki: You think he was being disingenuous?
>> Victoria: Do you seriously think that we can count on him?
Didn't you see how his first concern was hanging onto his
shiny new title? Adam only cares about what's in
it for Adam. He doesn't care about this
family. >> Victor: Sweetheart, I know
that the two of you had your differences.
>> Victoria: Dad, do you really not see what's going on here?
By putting him in charge, even if it's temporary, you gave him
a taste of that power again. Worse yet, you gave him hope.
>> Victor: I'm very sorry you see it that way.
>> Nick: She sees it like that 'cause it's true.
>> Victoria: He and I have been adversaries from the very start.
And now Adam has a vested interest in seeing me fail.
>> Sally: Victoria is using you as bait?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. She gets Ashland to frame me
with phony "evidence," in an effort to get himself out of his
lies. >> Sally: Only he'll be caught
doing it. >> Adam: That is right.
And then the company can invoke a clause in his contract and
vote to kick him out. >> Sally: Man.
Some cosmic justice right there. It's elegant, too.
>> Adam: It is a decent plan, and it can be successful.
It's actually already in motion. >> Sally: Seriously?
>> Adam: Mm-hmm. When you found my office door
locked, Ashland was in there, hacking into my computer,
looking for dirt. >> Sally: But you knew he was in
there and didn't stop him? >> Adam: I gave him access,
remotely. >> Sally: On purpose?
>> Adam: That's right. In real time, while Dad,
Victoria, Nick, and Nikki all watched.
>> Sally: So, this whole plan kind of hinges on you going
along with everything. That's not a bad spot to be in.
>> Adam: Well, great minds think alike.
>> Sally: It gives you leverage. >> Adam: Oh, big time.
More than you even know. >> Sally: Keep talking.
>> Adam: I, uh, made it clear that before I let Ashland past
the firewall, if I agreed to be this, uh, pretend-patsy, that
they have to keep me on as temporary CEO.
>> Sally: Wait -- you were able to pull that off, even though
Ashland and Victoria aren't leaving town?
>> Adam: Oh, I just, uh, pitched it as I was the ultimate team
player and I was just trying to make Victoria's brilliant plan,
uh, even more foolproof. And she accepted 'cause it was
an improvement. >> Sally: And because she really
didn't have a choice. Well played.
>> Adam: Eh. I thought so. >> Sally: Well, you've
positioned yourself so that you can better control the outcome
in the short term -- and your future.
>> Ashland: Thank you. [ Sighs ]
Michael Baldwin. Welcome home. How was your trip?
Oh, oh, hold on. Uh, since Victor bought into the
lies that someone planted about me in Peru for you to find, I
would imagine your trip was productive?
>> Michael: Very productive, until I was thrown in jail.
>> Ashland: [ Gasps ] Jail? Really? That sounds so extreme.
You must have really pissed off the locals.
>> Michael: I sure pissed someone off.
>> Ashland: Mm.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Billy: Clearly, Victoria was upset.
She needed to talk to someone. And I've been trying really hard
not to get involved, but then she goes and tells me that this
whole time Ashland had been lying about having cancer.
>> Lily: My God, every time I think about that disgusting lie,
it makes me sick. >> Billy: In order to create a
beachhead to get control of Newman.
It's beyond sickening. >> Lily: Yeah.
>> Billy: Look, Victoria needed to confide in someone, right?
And she didn't want to go to her family because the Newmans are
who they are, so she came to me. >> Lily: I'm glad you were there
to listen. >> Billy: After everything she
said, I was sure that she was gonna kick Ashland to the curb,
but she didn't. And then Nick goes and asks me
to go to talk to her again, which just proves how desperate
Nick is. But I told him I didn't think it
was gonna do any good. Victoria's gonna handle this the
way that she wants to handle it, without any involvement from
anyone else. >> Lily: Yeah. And you're right.
This is Victoria's problem. She needs to figure out how to
deal with this. >> Victor: Sweetheart, I do not
want you to worry about Adam. I will keep him in line and make
sure that he does not interfere with your plan.
>> Victoria: I know you'll try. And I can't ask for more than
that. >> Nikki: Now that you've told
us your intentions, we will make it work.
We have to. That man does not deserve you,
or a place in our family, or in this company.
>> Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] You know that I adore you.
I love you. And you have my support, and you
always will. >> Victoria: You know, when I
think about what he did to me -- what he did to all of us --
it's just -- it's horrible. Then when I walked out of here
that night and and checked into that hotel, I was --
I was devastated. >> Nikki: Oh, sweetheart,
of course you were. >> Victoria: And until I came up
with this solution, I -- I honestly -- I didn't have a clue
how to handle it. But I knew that I had to be the
one to fix this. And you were right, Mom.
I had all of those thoughts and feelings that you were worried
about. I was feeling shame and hurt...
and anger. >> Ashland: My baby.
I'm so sorry. >> Ashland: Well, you certainly
don't look any worse for wear after your adventure.
>> Michael: [ Chuckles ] Is that what we're calling it?
>> Ashland: I guess the charges didn't stick, huh?
>> Michael: Yeah, well, bogus charges rarely do.
>> Ashland: Precisely. And the ones leveled against me
aren't going to stick, either. >> Michael: Time will tell.
>> Ashland: I fully intend to prove that I was set up, and
once I do, the rest of you will realize how wrong you were
about me. Not that I'd expect any of you
to admit it. >> Michael: I am dying to see
how this turns out. >> Sally: You are taking on a
pivotal role to try and help Victoria rid herself of that
jerk and prevent the company from being stolen from your
family. So you should be rewarded.
When all this is over, Victor should hand you Ashland's
vacated co-CEO spot, at the very least.
Throw you a damn parade. >> Adam: Ha ha.
Yeah, right. >> Sally: No. I mean it.
If they aren't prepared to show you the respect that you
deserve, well, it seems to me that there are plenty of ways
Victoria's plan could go south. >> Adam: Mm-hmm.
>> Nick: Can we talk? >> Adam: Uh, Sally's up to speed
on everything. So feel free to, uh, let us know
what's going on, and don't hold back or speak cryptically.
>> Nick: Fine. I'm here to make sure we can
trust you.
>> Lily: Look, in spite of everything that's happened
between the two of you in the past --
>> Billy: Oh, that's just a polite way of saying "the hell
that I put her through." >> Lily: No.
She still confides in you. And she trust that you have her
best interests at heart. >> Billy: A hundred percent.
>> Lily: And, look, I know that you didn't seek this out.
You know, I know Victoria kind of laid this on you out of the
blue. >> Billy: Yes, and now the whole
world knows that Ashland is even more of a cold-blooded monster
than we first realized. >> Lily: I know, but, Billy, you
don't have to rush in and be her protector.
>> Billy: [ Scoffs ] Lily, we have kids together.
And I do not trust Ashland. I don't want him anywhere near
my kids. >> Lily: Victoria would never
put them in harm's way. She's way too good of a mother.
Look, I know that it's been years since you two broke up,
but I think there's still a part of you that feels responsible
for her safety and well-being. But, Billy, you're not, okay?
I think that's something that you need to work out.
>> Victoria: Ashland. >> Ashland: Oh, hi.
I-I was just sending a text. Mwah. How are you doing?
>> Victoria: I was, um -- I was with my family.
>> Ashland: How did that go? >> Victoria: I did what I
intended to do. I laid the groundwork and let
them know that we're close to discovering who's behind this
smear campaign against you. [ Sighs ] That's the good news.
>> Ashland: What's the bad news? >> Adam: Well, what can I say
that will, uh, convince you it's safe to trust me?
>> Sally: Rhetorical question. >> Nick: I need to know you're
sincere about playing your part. >> Adam: My assigned role,
you mean? >> Nick: This isn't a game,
Adam. There's a lot more at stake here
than just your future. >> Sally: By which you mean,
Victoria's future. >> Adam: I think Sally summed it
up pretty well. Look, as sorry as I am for
Victoria, the pain she's in, she made her own bed, choosing to
trust that guy. The consequences of which could
have lasting effects on Newman/Locke, our father's
legacy -- meaning, it does affect all of us.
>> Nick: Which is exactly my concern.
That you're only thinking about how this affects you or how you
can come out ahead. That you're willing to
jeopardize everything our father has worked for, what he has
spent his entire life building, for your own personal gain.
>> Adam: So, we're back to that again?
It's greedy, unprincipled Adam, the family scapegoat.
Can't be trusted unless in the dire of circumstances -- which,
apparently, I can't even be trusted then.
Do you really that think I'm capable of screwing over the
whole family to take what isn't mine?
>> Nick: Absolutely. There's not a doubt in my mind.
But I do know that you have changed.
>> Lily: Look, I know that Victoria is in a terrible
position and that it's stirring up these protective feelings in
you again. But maybe instead of allowing
yourself to get drawn into it, maybe you use this opportunity
to try and contain it, you know, whether that's through your
podcast, right, like how you did with Delia.
Or -- I don't know -- maybe in your own head.
>> Billy: You know that there's nothing romantic going on,
right? This is not about me having
these longing feelings for what we used to have.
>> Lily: No, I know. I'm not saying this because I'm
jealous in any way or threatened.
I'm just saying this because I love you and I know how hard
you've worked to get to where you are.
And I'm just so, so incredibly proud of you.
>> Billy: Thank you. >> Lily: And, look, I'm here for
you to lean on as you continue to deal with whatever there's
left to deal with. You know, and not that that
means that everything's just resolved and life is perfect.
But I think we can get close to that.
And I think you and I are pretty good proof of that.
>> Billy: Yes. We are. And you are by far the smartest,
most amazing, most supportive woman that I have ever known.
And I love you so much, and I am incredibly grateful that we
found each other. >> Lily: Me too.
>> Nikki: I didn't want to say this in front of Victoria, but
this plan of hers... >> Victor: I can see you're
worried. >> Nikki: Well, there is so much
risk. What if Ashland catches on?
God knows what he would do. I'm most concerned about her
emotional well-being. To have to swallow her true
feelings and endure more of his lies, his phony professions of
love, and, ugh, just -- just his touch now that she knows how
unconscionable he is. >> Victor: I understand.
>> Nikki: Victor, don't tell me how strong she is.
I know that she can bear all of this.
I know that. I just hate that it has come to
this. I mean, there are limits, no
matter how strong and determined you are.
>> Victor: I love our daughter. I will not allow any harm to
come to her. If this should get out of hand
in any way -- >> Nikki: I know you will swoop
in and rescue her. You don't have to reassure me
of that. >> Victor: You know, she wants
to take the lead in this. And I respect that and I admire
her for it. I'll let her do it.
Meanwhile, all of us work together to get that bastard.
>> Nikki: Yeah. For Ashland Locke to be removed
from our lives once and for all. >> Victor: Yeah.
>> Victoria: You're not gonna like this.
I didn't. >> Ashland: What has Victor done
now? >> Victoria: He's decided to
keep Adam on as CEO for the time being.
>> Ashland: [ Exhales heavily ] >> Victoria: Even though we
canceled our flight to Tuscany. >> Ashland: Oh, wh-- Why
would -- Okay. Never mind. Uh, let me guess.
Adam has been working behind the scenes to make this happen?
>> Victoria: Oh, no doubt. >> Ashland: Ah, dammit.
How did you respond when your father told you?
>> Victoria: Well, first I pushed back very hard.
And then I thought, maybe this is the way that we could work it
to our advantage. Having Adam in one place so that
we can keep tabs on him while we prove that he's the one who's
been targeting you all along. That's all that matters to me --
exposing Adam and making sure that he's punished.
I promise you I'm trying to do everything I can to get you out
of this mess and redeem you in my family's eyes.
They know how much I believe that you're innocent and that
I'm not gonna back down, I'm not gonna let them drive you away
from me. >> Ashland: Thank you for
believing in me. >> Victoria: So, what is our
next step? Do you have any idea?
>> Ashland: I have a few ideas. But, um, there's no point in
telling you until I've zeroed in on the one that's going to work.
>> Victoria: Why hold back? If you tell me, maybe I can
build on whatever it is you have.
I can give you some advice. I mean, we're a team, right?
We're in on this together? >> Ashland: This is not a trust
thing. Sometimes I just have to work
out things on my own. Let an idea percolate.
You understand? >> Victoria: Yes. Of course.
>> Ashland: I'll get you some coffee.
>> Adam: So, let me get this straight.
You admit that I have changed, but you still don't trust me?
>> Nick: I've seen you make a real effort to live your life
differently. At times, you've been very
selfless, which I have acknowledged.
>> Adam: Yeah. Grudgingly. >> Nick: That's because I know
you. And I know what you're capable
of. And this is exactly the kind of
situation that always brings out the worst in you because it
involves our father and the family business and all the
baggage that goes along with that.
Who's the favorite, who isn't. Will you ever be able to prove
yourself to the old man? But, Adam, there's so much more
to it than that. Ashland Locke provides a very
different threat to this family. And no matter how messed up we
are at times, we always show up for each other.
Always. Just like how you did for Faith.
You saved her life. You risked your own to make sure
she made it to the hospital, and then you gave her one of your
kidneys. That tells me the changes you've
made in your life are very real. And this is one of those
situations where we have to come together.
And I really hope that's the man who shows up, the one you told
me you aspire to be, the one who's willing to put himself out
there for something other than himself...
the one who's willing to take a look at the bigger picture for
the sake of the family. For your family.
>> Next week on "The Young and the Restless"...
>> Jack: Why do I feel like there's something you're not
saying? If I'm going too far with this
