>> Diane: Jack, Kyle, what's -- what's the problem?
>> Jack: You.
>> Diane: Wh-- Police?
>> Kyle: This is her.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] Wait, what have I done?
>> Ready to press charges?
>> Kyle: I have waited my entire life.
>> Diane: Charges?
>> Jack: We're charging you with abandonment.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] No.
No, you don't understand.
>> Jack: Oh, I understand.
I understand plenty well.
You're a liar.
You're a coward.
You said you wanted to have a child more than anything in the
world.
You didn't have the patience to raise him.
You couldn't wait to get out of town to avoid the pandemonium
you created.
>> Diane: No, no, it wasn't like that.
Besides, I'm a good person now.
>> Jack: You turned your back on your own child.
>> Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] >> Jack: You know, when you have
a little kid, you assume they're gonna go along with pretty much
everything you say, the way you think.
And then they grow up and have opinions of their own.
>> Kyle: Mm. The nerve.
>> Jack: Not the easiest thing in the world, encourage your son
to chart his own path and -- and watch him make decisions that
make you a little nervous.
>> Kyle: I know Harrison will eventually get there.
I'm already dreading it.
>> Jack: Have you been in touch with your mother since you told
her you were gonna give her a chance to prove herself?
>> Kyle: Nope.
>> Jack: Having second thoughts?
>> Kyle: Big time.
♪♪ ♪♪
>> Billy: Hi.
>> Lily: Hi.
>> Billy: Did you order for me?
>> Lily: I did.
>> Billy: You did? Great.
Did you get me a cute little teapot with a cute little cup?
I need to keep my vocal cords all nice and smooth for my
podcast.
>> Lily: Oh, "The Grinning Soul."
>> Billy: You heard it.
Am I in the doghouse?
>> Lily: I am concerned.
>> Billy: Okay, but have you seen the numbers?
Because it's doing pretty well for a brand-new series.
>> Lily: Billy -- >> Billy: I did all the things
that we talked about doing.
I altered my voice.
I made all the names and locations anonymous to protect
the guilty.
>> Lily: It doesn't matter.
It's gonna take two seconds for anyone close to the situation to
know that you're talking about Ashland.
>> Billy: Well, if the sociopathic shoe fits...
>> Adam: So first Victoria says she doesn't need a partner,
then, suddenly, out of nowhere, she appoints Nikki as co-CEO.
That spot should've been mine.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] Did Victor back her up?
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] She said it was a unilateral
decision, that she didn't need our father's approval, which is
untrue.
He would have to sign off on something like that, which means
he did.
And word is already spreading to the company of Nikki's
appointment, and did anybody bother warning me about it?
Just another one of my dad's mind games, another game of
musical chairs, when once again I'm standing here being left out
in the cold.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] So Victoria lets Ashland get his
hooks into the company, and then once he's out, she just goes
back to business like nothing happened, like she wasn't the
cause of all this chaos.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] I don't know why I waste my time
hoping that they'll give me a chance.
It's never gonna happen.
I mean, this is our pattern.
>> Sally: I hate seeing them put you through the wringer,
especially since it is clear to me that you don't need any of
them.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Any suggestions on what I should
do about it?
>> Sally: Strike out on your own.
Cut ties with the Newmans altogether.
>> Adam: Cutting ties?
I have done that.
More than once.
I'm not sure I want to do it again.
>> Sally: Why not?
Maybe your mistake was returning to the Newman family fold.
>> Adam: Look, here's the thing, my dad has this seemingly blind
acceptance of Victoria's leadership abilities no matter
how many times she screws up.
And as long as she is in charge, she's gonna cut me out, so if I
walk away, it just feels like I'm conceding, like I'm letting
her win.
>> Sally: Would that really be the worst thing in the world?
>> Adam: Um...I'm the one that came up with the idea to get
Locke out for good.
I am the one that should be rewarded for that.
She is still in my way, and she still refuses to acknowledge
that I'm the one that saved her.
So why should I give her what she wants?
>> Sally: You said it yourself -- Victor could've
stepped in and vetoed Victoria's decision to promote Nikki.
But he didn't, he let it stand in a transparent ploy to block
you from what you deserve, what you earned.
You have come way too far and you have done way too much to
prove yourself to your family, and it is never enough.
>> Adam: Well, thanks for rubbing in in.
>> Sally: No, my point is if they are not gonna show you the
respect that you have been looking for, then why stick
around?
You don't need them.
You're talented and inspired and capable of making brilliant
moves on your own.
>> Adam: Okay, so let's say I did what you're proposing and I
cut all ties and I walked away from all things Newman,
including running Newman Media, and I left you here on your own
to deal with my family.
Would you really be okay with that?
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: You abandoned Kyle.
>> Diane: No, I walked away because that's what was best.
>> Jack: For you!
>> Diane: No, for Kyle!
Please, I love my son.
>> Jack: Lies.
>> Diane: No! I do!
>> Jack: She walked away and never looked back.
>> Diane: Why are you doing this?
It was the hardest decision of my life.
>> Kyle: She's a complete fraud.
Can't be trusted.
Don't buy a word of it.
>> Jack: Never looked back.
>> Diane: There was an empty, broken place in my heart without
you, and it started to heal when you said you'd give me a second
chance.
Please don't take this away from me, Kyle.
>> A mother letting her kid think she's dead -- that's as
low as it gets.
>> Diane: I didn't want to abandon him.
I wanted to come back.
>> Jack: You know how you can tell she's lying?
She's moving her mouth.
>> Kyle: Mm.
>> Diane: I wanted you with me every day, Kyle, but you
deserved better.
You deserved a stable, safe place where you could have the
best that life had to offer.
>> You have the right to remain silent.
>> Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] >> Kyle: She's a prodigious liar
so that's not gonna happen.
>> And the right to an attorney.
>> Kyle: She'll never find one to take this case.
>> Jack: Defending a woman who left her boy motherless?
>> Diane: Please, please.
No! No, you don't understand.
>> Jack: Have some dignity.
Do the right thing for once.
Go!
>> Diane: No!
[ Sighs ] >> Jack: Ooh, stealing
Harrison's cookies.
>> Kyle: Mm, I won't tell if you don't.
>> Jack: I'll pass.
>> Kyle: Not that I ever want to keep things from my son.
I like to think I haven't inherited my mother's bad
habits.
>> Jack: I can see this is really weighing on you.
>> Kyle: Can't sleep.
Every time I close my eyes, I think about the awful things
she's done.
How she's hurt people I love, and how am I supposed to
reconcile that woman, the one who walked away when I was so
young, to the woman that she says she is now?
>> Jack: Believe, I understand how complicated your situation
is.
>> Kyle: And she says that she turned her life around.
That she recreated herself, and the last time I saw her, before
she sent me away, before she changed my name, she promised
that she was going to join me, but then she chose to vanish
from my life.
[ Stammers ] Pretend she was dead.
>> Jack: Did she maybe share with you her reasoning in making
those decisions?
>> Kyle: Yeah, they -- they all sounded plausible.
And -- And potentially rehearsed.
I...
Like she had been waiting for the chance to say them all to my
face.
>> Jack: And that's what's keeping you awake at night.
>> Kyle: Yeah.
>> Jack: So what are you gonna do about it?
>> Kyle: I don't know.
We've heard all the facts, what Mom did, what she said.
I need to know how you feel about all this.
What -- What's your gut telling you?
>> Jack: Kyle, I made a promise to myself not to interfere, not
to try to influence how you felt about your mother and her story.
>> Kyle: Yeah, and I appreciate that you've managed to put your
own personal feelings aside and encourage me to walk into this
with an open mind, but now that I've heard her out, I need to
unravel whether I believe she's changed into a good, trustworthy
person, or if it's the little kid in me that's wishing it were
true.
>> Jack: And you want to be objective.
>> Kyle: And I don't think I can be.
>> Jack: So you've come to me for that.
>> Kyle: Dads have all the answers.
At least that's what Harrison says.
>> Jack: Yeah, I remember that.
Cherish that.
>> Kyle: I do.
>> Jack: Kyle, for the last few days, I have puzzled over the
same questions that have bedeviled you.
Why did Diane come back now of all times to reveal that she's
still alive?
Can we still believe her?
>> Kyle: Bingo.
>> Jack: I have asked for the benefit of the doubt more times
than I can count, so I put myself in Diane's shoes when she
made that horrible decision all those years ago, tried to
explain to myself why I would leave my child behind.
>> Kyle: Given that the original plan, the one she worked out
with Adam, was so that she could fake her own death so she could
leave with me.
>> Jack: Diane claims she changed her mind, that she
didn't want that future for you, living on the run.
She didn't believe I would ever give up on trying to find either
of you.
And she's 100% right about that.
>> Kyle: But if she had just come to me from the beginning
and tried to explain, we could --
>> Jack: Kyle, listen to me.
You were very young.
Would you have understood?
And would it have been any better, knowing that she's out
there somewhere without you?
You'd have spent your life asking questions that would have
made you a completely different man, and I happen to love the
man you have become.
So maybe, just maybe, this one time, Diane made the right
choice in leaving the way she did.
>> Sally: Have I told you how much I hate hypotheticals?
>> Adam: You've never imagined it?
>> Sally: What I would do if you noped out of Newman and left me
here alone?
>> Adam: Would you stay or would you go?
>> Sally: I would keep my job and do my best to win your
entire family over.
>> Adam: Why?
>> Sally: Because, aside from the fact that I love my job and
that I have absolute faith that we will be phenomenally
successful wherever we choose to be, do you know how rare this
is?
To find someone who thinks the way that you do, who believes in
you, who makes you laugh, who wants what you want?
Have you ever met anyone like that?
>> Adam: Yeah. Once.
>> Sally: For the first time, I actually feel like I'm meeting
someone on my level.
That is why we work, because we take each other exactly how we
are.
I don't need you to be the good or the bad version of yourself
or what everyone else expects you to be.
>> Adam: What -- What do you want?
>> Sally: Just you.
All of you.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, knowing that you are
willing to brave my family, it should make the decision to walk
away easier.
But it just -- it feels different this time.
I don't know if -- if I'm older and wiser or it's knowing that
someone has my back.
But now I just -- it feels like walking away, I would be giving
up instead of doing something on my own terms.
On the other hand, despite my best efforts, I could just be
falling for my dad's games, craving the look of approval in
his eyes.
>> Sally: Yeah.
His opinion will always mean something to you, no matter
what.
>> Adam: I just don't think that I can ignore the challenge that
Victoria threw down by hiring Nikki over me.
>> Sally: You shouldn't have to battle for recognition,
especially after everything you've done for your family.
But if you choose to stay and fight, I will still be here.
And if you want to just walk away and turn your back on all
of them, then I will stand by you.
Either way, I will support you.
I'll weigh in with my advice and do my best to make sure that we
are both successful.
>> Adam: So I guess the only thing now is to consider what is
best for me right now.
>> Sally: But I will continue to tell you that you deserve
better.
And then I will kiss you to drive the point home.
>> Billy: The whole point of recording a second voice-altered
podcast was so I could talk about the issues that
Billy Abbott needs to publicly distance himself from.
>> Lily: Look, if you try to convince me that two Billys are
better than one -- >> Billy: Well, just hear me out
for a second, because the way I see it, Billy One is your
right-hand man.
Billy Two is untamed, a rebel that answers to no one.
>> Lily: Look, you know I love the idea of the anonymous
podcast where you can talk about what you want without there
being any blowback to the company.
>> Billy: I love your ability to say "but" without actually
saying "but."
>> Lily: You have a confrontation with Ashland, then
you turn right around and vent about it on a podcast?
>> Billy: I didn't mention our names.
>> Lily: It doesn't matter.
Anyone can connect the dots.
>> Billy: I think you're worried about it because you know the
players.
So think about it for a second without picturing the snake that
we all know very, very well.
I could've been talking about any other mogul who has used
manipulation and deceit to rise to power.
And that is what the average listener is going to hear.
>> Lily: Yeah, and I really hope that you're right.
And look, I agree with the message that you sent, but be
prepared if certain people -- like Victoria -- see beyond this
"Grinning Soul" persona and know that it's you putting it out
there.
>> Billy: Wasn't it you that requested we not talk about
Victoria at least for one day?
So here's the deal.
Did she need protecting?
Yes, I believe she did.
Before she found out the kind of man that Ashland Locke was.
But now that she knows, the truth is out there, then I don't
see the harm.
>> Lily: If anyone figures out that these stories are about
Ashland, how do you think that's gonna make Victoria look?
>> Billy: Like a sympathetic figure.
Like a loving partner that was deceived from the most heinous
of men, and I hope that she appreciates the fact that I'm
not personally getting involved in her problems, because you
were right -- that would be a bad idea.
>> Lily: Have you thought about what would happen if it's
Ashland that figures out that you're behind this?
>> Billy: I hope he does.
I really do.
I hope he puts together the math, and I would pay to see the
look on his face when he realizes that he is the monster
underneath the bed and that everyone listening out there is
putting together the story.
Recoiling from horror at all the lies that he's perpetrated his
entire life, because Ashland Locke needs to realize
that actions have consequences.
>> Jack: Kyle, to be clear, I am not condoning anything else that
Diane has done or offering any opinions about who she is as a
person.
>> Kyle: Noted.
>> Jack: She hurt a lot of people in a lot of ways, and
I -- I just -- >> Kyle: What is it?
I asked you to be completely honest with me.
>> Jack: Kyle, if Diane had stuck to her original plan,
taking you with her and disappeared, would I ever see
you again?
I mean, if she evaded every effort I made to track you two
down...
I hate to even think what that would have been to us.
And I can't think about your situation without thinking about
my mother.
I was absolutely gutted when she left our family, when she --
when she left me behind.
I was angry for so many years, and when she walked back into
our lives, I wanted to slam the door in her face.
It is nothing short of a miracle that before she died, we were
able to reconcile, that I found some understanding and some
forgiveness.
It's one of the greatest gifts of my life.
Do I want that for you?
Absolutely, more than anything.
Maybe this once Diane did the right thing.
I'm not saying she's changed.
I'm not saying I accept everything she's telling us on
faith.
I'm just saying I believe the decision to leave you behind is
the toughest decision she ever made in her life.
>> Kyle: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: Kyle, I know that's not
the simple answer you were hoping to get from me.
But there's nothing simple about this.
>> Kyle: You're right.
It'd be cool if we could just run a sim.
>> Jack: Come again?
>> Kyle: A simulation.
What a future with my mother in it would look like.
>> Jack: And how exactly would we pull that off?
>> Kyle: We put her to the Full Abbott Test.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] [ Cellphone chimes ]
>> Jack: Thank you, Kyle.
I'll take care of the rest.
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Lily: Look, even the thought of someone possibly having
cancer can turn their life upside down, so the fact that
Ashland used a lie like that to make a profit, I mean, it makes
me angry that he's walking around here with no care in the
world.
So, yes, you know, this has a very personal thing thing for
me.
>> Billy: 100%, and it sounds like we agree, so why are you
upset about the podcast?
>> Lily: Because I don't like the idea of you possibly losing
this amazing platform because you're not being careful with
when and how to, you know, put this information out there.
>> Billy: I get it, I do.
But I really don't think that this is going to be a blip on
Victoria's radar.
She's got more important things to keep her mind on rather than
the anonymous musings of "The Grinning Soul."
>> Lily: Well, I really hope you're right.
>> Billy: I am right.
You don't want me to be right, because then I would pile up the
other side of all the other times I've been right, and then
it'll be off-balance.
>> Lily: Oh, my God, give me a break.
>> Billy: Oh, saved by a phone call.
>> Lily: Then answer it.
I don't care.
>> Billy: Jack.
>> Jack: Drop whatever you're doing and come to the Abbott
house.
I'm calling a family meeting.
>> Billy: Okay, but what if I'm in the middle of something
important?
>> Jack: Nothing's more important than supporting Kyle
right now.
Ashley, Traci, Abby are all on their way.
Hopefully I can count on you, too.
>> Billy: Yeah, of course, I'll be there as soon as I can.
>> Lily: What's going on?
>> Billy: Jack is calling a family meeting because it sounds
like Kyle is back in town, and, you know, Diane is not dead
anymore, so sounds like a fun occasion.
>> Lily: Well, unlike the Chancellor-Winters meeting
you'll be missing.
>> Billy: Uh, yeah, can I get a pass on that?
>> Lily: Uh, I really need my COO there.
>> Billy: Yeah, you're right.
Wouldn't be the first time that I show up late to a family
gathering.
I'll just go when I'm done.
>> Lily: You sure?
>> Billy: 100%.
You and Chancellor-Winters are my top priorities.
>> Sally: Sneaking upstairs to a suite here never gets old.
>> Adam: [ Chuckles ] Oh, my God.
>> Sally: Adam?
>> Adam: Diane.
Welcome to The Resurrection Club.
First rule of Resurrection Club is we don't talk about The
Resurrection Club.
>> Diane: Hello, Adam.
You're not as shocked to see me as I would've expected.
>> Adam: Well, my father spoiled the surprise.
>> Diane: Oh, I should've known.
>> Adam: Mm.
>> Diane: Mm.
>> Adam: Mm.
You know, back when it really did look like you had bought the
farm, I wanted to send you a "Bite me" card for leaving
things in a way that I would be implicated in your death, but I
couldn't find a forwarding address to Hell.
>> Diane: I regret many things about that time.
>> Adam: How could you even stand to look at yourself in the
mirror?
>> Diane: Well, I justified my actions by telling myself how
resourceful you were, not that it's any excuse.
>> Adam: Got to do what you got to do, right?
I mean, half the people wanted you dead, and you did not
disappoint.
Everyone thought you were pushing up daisies.
Really, it was impressive.
But as someone who knows firsthand -- and this is the
second rule of Resurrection Club -- once you've
escaped, it's the best idea not to come back.
>> Sally: Hello.
I'm Sally. Sally Spectra.
Adam and I work together.
>> Diane: Oh, I gather things have progressed beyond that,
since it appears you were headed upstairs.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ] >> Adam: You have more nerve
than I thought, coming back to town, staying in Phyllis' hotel.
It's a death wish.
Some things never change.
>> Diane: Everything's changed.
As I told Victor, I'm not here to cause trouble or have
anything to do with your family.
I'm here for one reason only -- Kyle.
>> Adam: Your son that you abandoned, even though you and I
had made a plan for you to be able to join him and start a new
life together.
Hey, but plans change, right?
>> Diane: I won't make excuses or try to justify what I did.
>> Adam: Smart.
>> Diane: Yes, I don't like who I was back then, and I'm not
proud of the things I did.
Something I think you can understand.
>> Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Well, I guess the
new-and-improved Diane isn't above taking potshots at her
former co-conspirator.
>> Diane: No, that's not what I was doing.
I've managed to keep up with what's going on in Genoa City.
I know that you've worked hard to turn over a new leaf and make
a different life for yourself.
>> Adam: What is your point?
>> Diane: I just want the same thing that everyone gave you.
A second chance.
>> Adam: I hope that is true.
I don't have the same kind of beef with you that the rest do,
so good luck, I guess.
>> Diane: Thank you, Adam.
Nice to meet you, Sally.
>> Sally: You too.
>> Abby: Kyle!
>> Ashley: Good to see you, Kyle.
How are you?
>> Kyle: Hanging in there.
>> Traci: I have been thinking about you nonstop since our
chat, and I'm hoping so much that you were able to find a
little clarity.
>> Jack: Billy should be here any minute.
I know we all have a lot of questions, but we're kind of
running out of time.
>> Abby: Why?
What's going on?
I thought this was a family meeting.
>> Kyle: We're having a special visitor arrive soon.
>> Traci: Not -- >> Jack: Yes, her.
>> Ashley: Diane Jenkins is coming here?
>> Kyle: She is.
>> Ashley: I can't believe she would have the nerve to come
back to Genoa City, let alone this house.
>> Kyle: Actually, she's already been here.
This won't be my first time seeing her.
>> Ashley: Well, it will be your last, if I have anything to say
about it.
>> Abby: If someone had told me that Diane was gonna be at --
>> Jack: It's why I didn't tell you, Abby.
>> Kyle: She claims she's changed.
>> Ashley: Into what, exactly?
>> Jack: Would you let him finish his thought, please?
>> Kyle: She says that she spent her time away getting her life
together.
>> Abby: [ Scoffs ] Okay, should we be amused or
afraid?
Why is she back in Genoa City?
>> Kyle: For me, to explain herself and ask for forgiveness.
>> Ashley: But you're not actually considering forgiving
her, right?
Because even if she has spent the last few years polishing her
halo through charity and good works, you know that it's --
it's just an act, right?
>> Abby: Kyle, I mean, how do you feel about all this?
It can't be easy finding out that your mother's alive and
that she wants to reconnect with you.
>> Ashley: Use you.
Let's not forget who we're talking about.
>> Kyle: I'm not sure what to think.
>> Abby: After all of these years, maybe she wants to do the
right thing?
>> Jack: Diane has made a very compelling case for herself.
>> Ashley: Oh, please.
You don't actually believe that she's had some kind of
miraculous transformation.
>> Jack: I am just as skeptical as you are, just as wary of her
motives, but we three know what it is to be estranged from
the woman who brought us -- >> Ashley: Don't you dare go
there, Jack.
I know our mother was a piece of work, but she's nothing compared
to Diane.
>> Traci: Okay, okay, please, please.
Sorry, Kyle.
We know that this is a very -- an exceedingly difficult
situation.
>> Abby: Kyle, look, all we want to do is support you.
We want to be here for you, no matter what you choose.
Right?
>> Jack: Abby's right.
That's been my approach to this whole fiasco.
>> Ashley: Okay.
I'm sorry.
And please tell us, how do you feel now that you've actually
spoken with your mother?
>> Kyle: I don't know.
I've been going back and forth trying to figure out if she's
lying or if she's telling the truth, which is why I've called
all of you here today.
>> Jack: It is one thing for Diane to feed Kyle a lot of
well-rehearsed regrets and promises to do better.
>> Kyle: And something else completely to have to face me
and my family.
See how she handles herself in front of people who have seen
her at her worst.
That's how I figure out if she's telling the truth and if she's
sincere about being a changed person.
What do you say?
>> Abby: I think we should.
>> Traci: Might as well.
>> Jack: Ashley, what do you think?
>> Ashley: Hell yes.
Bring it on.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ]
>> Ashley: So what time is Diane's broom scheduled to get
here?
>> Kyle: Five minutes ago.
>> Abby: Maybe she got cold feet.
>> Traci: Look, if -- if this is going to work, if it's gonna
get results, we have to all stick to the plan, okay?
>> Ashley: And maybe if we're lucky, she got herself kicked
out of town already.
>> Jack: Be nice, Ash.
>> Ashley: This is me being nice, Jack.
>> Kyle: Don't bother bombarding her with old grievances.
That's not going to get us anywhere.
>> Abby: I loathe her as much as anyone, but the reason why we're
all here is to help Kyle discover the truth.
>> Traci: Right, and to understand what's on Diane's
mind and in her heart.
>> Ashley: And to help Kyle with the outcome when he realizes his
mother actually has no heart.
>> Abby: Mom.
>> Ashley: No, I have seen into her soul.
It's a deep, dark abyss.
I do not believe that she's had some kind of miraculous
transformation.
>> Adam: How are you so perfect?
No, I mean it.
And I'm not talking about your face, which is a thing of
beauty.
Or your body and the things that you can do with it.
You didn't bombard me with questions two seconds after we
saw Diane.
>> Sally: I knew that you would tell me when the time was right.
And that was definitely not the time.
>> Adam: Okay.
You ready?
>> Sally: Yes!
Yes, I have been dying to hear all about this woman since I
first heard her name, and now that I've seen her in the flesh,
I'm like 1,000 times more curious.
>> Adam: Diane is driven.
She's obsessed.
She will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
And not in a good way, like you.
And I wouldn't hesitate helping her when it would work to my
advantage.
>> Sally: In what way?
>> Adam: We worked together to make it look like Victor was
dead to drive down the price of the Newman stock.
>> Sally: You didn't.
>> Adam: Made a pretty sizable profit, too.
That was the kind of relationship that we had.
I agreed that I would help her escape the mess that she had
made of her life, evade Jack, and start a new life with her
son.
And that is that.
>> Sally: Wow.
>> Adam: Yeah, I did a lot of things back then that I wasn't
proud of, but I'd like to think that that scheme at least was
semi-noble.
>> Sally: Well, Diane's right, you definitely have changed.
You've grown.
>> Adam: Well, what can I say?
I'm a work in progress.
No, but all kidding aside, I'm glad that you're in my corner.
It's nice being with someone who is "meeting me on my level."
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yes, it's a rare thing.
So what are you gonna do about your family's latest move?
>> Adam: I'm not sure.
>> Sally: Well, I will take this ride with you wherever it goes.
>> Kyle: Thanks for coming.
>> Diane: Yeah, I was so excited when I got your text.
>> Kyle: Right this way.
>> Diane: Oh.
[ Chuckles ] I see what this is.
>> Ashley: You have no idea.
Welcome back, bitch.
>> Diane: Ashley.
>> Ashley: You look pretty good for a dead person.
>> Diane: Thank you.
>> Traci: It's been a long time, Diane.
>> Diane: Lovely to see you, Traci.
You too, Abby.
>> Kyle: I felt it was important that, if we're going to take the
next step, that you meet with all of us.
If I'm going to allow you back in my life -- and that's still a
big if -- it not only affects my life, but the lives of my entire
family.
All of us you have a history with.
>> Jack: Each of us is affected one way or the other.
>> Diane: I have no desire to cause any problems for the
Abbotts.
>> Kyle: Nonetheless, it's something you will have to
understand and accept -- your presence affects us all.
Just like we will have to decide if we accept your claim that you
are a different person now.
>> Next week on "The Young and the Restless"...
>> Adam: I have already made my decision.
I want Newman Enterprises -- every single bit of it.
>> Jack: I would love for you to meet Allie Nguyen.
This is Keemo's daughter and my granddaughter.
>> Allie: Hi, everyone.
How are you?
>> Michael: You were dead.
>> Diane: And now I'm not.
>> Michael: It's pretty good to see you.
