>> Sally: You got a minute? >> Adam: For my hard-working
COO? Take a few.
What's going on? Looks serious.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] It is.
>> Adam: Well, this is why we make such a good team, because
we understand each other. >> Sally: You think you can read
my mind? >> Adam: [ Sighs ]
Hmm. You are concerned with matters
of the heart because you know if we get Victoria and Ashland back
together, my father will never see her the same way, and he
will have no choice but to remove her from
Newman Enterprises. >> Sally: Not even close.
>> Adam: You got another fire for us to put out?
>> Sally: This is about an entirely different family
business -- Chancellor-Winters. They're gonna be major
competition for us, and I'm just wondering if there's enough room
in this town for both of us. >> Lily: Okay, we have to do
more than just come up with a playlist for the party.
>> Billy: Whoa, whoa, I'm sorry. This is not just a playlist.
>> Devon: No, not at all. This is the soundtrack for the
entire event. It's like one of the most
important elements of the night. >> Billy: And a major part of
our branding. People are gonna hear this and
they're gonna think, "Chancellor-Winters."
>> Devon: Yeah, and then all of a sudden, they'll be dancing.
>> Billy: Ooh, they're dancing. And balloons and confetti coming
from the ceiling. We have a vendor for that,
right? >> Lily: We do, yes.
>> Billy: Okay, that's right. Where are we dancing again?
>> Lily: Grand Phoenix Ballroom. >> Devon: Hey, now.
>> Billy: A fantastic place for a party.
>> Devon: That's right. We got a great guest list, don't
we? >> Lily: Yeah, we do -- best and
brightest, big power players in business, media, the boards of
philanthropic organizations we work with.
>> Billy: All people we want to work with in the future.
>> Devon: That's right. How about press kits?
Do we have that? >> Billy: Yeah.
>> Lily: We do. I have it covered.
>> Billy: Have we thought about for the people that aren't gonna
be able to make it? >> Devon: Well, we can stream it
live on a couple of our platforms.
We can show all the interviews, talk about the history of both
companies, Katherine and Neil. >> Billy: I mean, that sounds
like a slam dunk to me. >> Devon: Yeah, then we just
launch this company into the stratosphere and let the world
know that Chancellor-Winters has arrived.
>> Lily: Man, oh, man. Gentlemen, this is the beginning
of a new era. [ Chuckles ] For all of us.
>> Devon: That's right. 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Sharon: Oh, you took the best
photos of the wedding, Noah. Oh, look at that one.
Mariah and Tessa look so in love and so beautiful.
>> Noah: And if I may call your attention to this next
photograph... >> Sharon: Oh.
>> Nick: Oh, yes. >> Sharon: Ooh, wow.
My goodness, Nick, you look, uh --
>> Nick: If you thought I'd be embarrassed by evidence of me in
some very cool threads from the '70s showing off my slickest
dance moves, you'd be wrong. >> Noah: You know, I think I can
incorporate this into my next piece.
>> Sharon: Hmm, what title would you give that?
>> Noah: "Man's Inhumanity to the Dance Floor."
>> Sharon: Mm, it has a nice ring to it.
>> Nick: Very funny. [ Cellphones chime ]
>> Sharon: Oh. >> Noah: Oh, family group chat.
>> Sharon: It's Mariah and Tessa.
>> Noah: With photos. Not bad.
Swanky little room you guys got them.
>> Nick: Hmm, nice. >> Noah: "Sending you a link to
a friend's show in Paris. It's not far from the Pompidou.
Check it out if you can tear yourselves away from each other
for an hour or so." >> Sharon: "Glad you've settled
in. Have a magical time in Paris."
>> Nick: "Glad I could make your honeymoon dreams come true.
I really am the best. Smiley face."
There you go. >> Noah: You are the worst.
>> Nick: Agree to disagree. You miss them already?
>> Sharon: I was just thinking. Rey and I talked about going to
Paris once Faith had gone off to college.
We called it our "empty-nest adventure."
>> Nick: You know what? Enough of this chit-chat.
Time to liven things up. >> Nate: Hi there, legal eagles.
>> Amanda: Nate, hey. Wait, what are you doing here?
Devon told me that you guys had a meeting about the
Hamilton-Winters launch party. >> Nate: Yes, they're still at
it. I volunteered to grab some
dinner. >> Imani: How's it going?
>> Nate: We still have a lot of ground to cover, but everything
seems to be coming together. >> Amanda: Good.
That's -- That's great. >> Nate: Yeah.
Am I interrupting something? Because I'm getting the distinct
feeling that something's wrong. >> Amanda: We just got some
news, and it wasn't good.
>> Adam: Chancellor merging with Hamilton-Winters is not keeping
me up at night, believe me. >> Sally: Did you get a look at
their stable of talent? >> Adam: Challenges are good.
And they're nothing we can't handle.
>> Sally: They have created an entertainment/media juggernaut.
>> Adam: [ Sighs ] Do you want to know what they
have that we don't? A major liability --
Billy Abbott. I mean, the man has a built-in
self-destruct mode that can go off at any minute.
And you're afraid that we can't compete?
They're the ones that should be afraid.
With everything that we have in the pipeline, they should be
shaking in their shoes. They can't touch our tech.
>> Sally: Alright. Let the competition begin.
[ Cellphone rings ] Who is it?
>> Adam: Hello, Dad. Uh...yes, I understand.
Well, thank you for letting me know.
>> Sally: What'd he say? >> Adam: Unbelievable.
>> Billy: Okay, so I think it's time to focus on some more
important matters. >> Lily: Okay, what do you have
in mind? >> Billy: Well, we need to get
clear on our messaging. We need to make sure that all
our divisions are in one place and they know what they're
doing, and most importantly, we need to land on our logo.
>> Devon: Mm. >> Billy: It's gonna be
everywhere. It's gonna represent us, and it
needs to be good. >> Devon: Absolutely.
I think that it should represent family unity, right?
We're a new company, but we're also familiar to people.
Brother and sister. >> Lily: Yep, forging a new
legacy. >> Devon: Yeah, I love that.
>> Lily: This is really gonna work, huh?
>> Devon: Hell, yeah. I can see Katherine and Neil
looking at us right now. >> Lily: Oh, yeah, they're
probably just wondering what took us so long.
But I know they are loving this. >> Devon: Yeah.
>> Imani: You were so wonderful, helping us find a doctor to help
care for our mother. >> Amanda: Yeah, but she called
us today and informed us that she's having more frequent heart
palpitations. >> Imani: And I'm worried that
this could be an indication of a more serious heart problem,
which would put her at a higher risk for a stroke.
>> Amanda: But I am trying to warn Imani not to jump to the
worst possible conclusion. >> Imani: I'm sorry we all can't
be stoic about this. >> Amanda: Just because I don't
burst into tears at the mere mention of --
>> Imani: I'm scared, okay? And I am not gonna apologize for
how I feel. >> Amanda: I'm just saying that
we should wait and see what her doctor has to say.
>> Nate: Have you scheduled an appointment?
>> Amanda: No, not yet, but Naya did give him permission to
contact us, and he's gonna share any information that he learns
from her latest evaluation. >> Nate: And how's she doing
otherwise? >> Imani: According to Mom,
she's been taking her medication religiously and keeping a
careful record of her symptoms. >> Nate: And there's no previous
indication of heart disease or any other serious condition?
>> Amanda: No, no. >> Nate: Then it bears repeating
that thousands of patients live with a-fib and it's completely
treatable. >> Amanda: Which means no need
to panic. >> Imani: It's always nice to
hear it from a doctor's mouth. >> Nate: Okay. Don't panic.
>> Imani: Thanks. [ Cellphone rings ]
>> Amanda: Oh, it's -- it's Mom's doctor.
>> Nate: Take it. >> Amanda: I'll be right back.
Hello? Yes, this is Amanda Sinclair.
>> Nate: Did you want that to be a three-way call?
>> Imani: No, Amanda's the right one for this.
She's better at keeping her heart out of the matter.
When it comes to me and my mother, I get so emotional.
>> Nate: Yeah, I understand. I'm close to my mother as well.
>> Imani: Amanda cares for her very deeply, but it's different
for me. That woman raised me.
She taught me everything I know. She's been a part of my life
since I took my first breath. And since my grandfather went to
prison, we've gotten even closer.
>> Nate: Makes sense. There's no one around to control
you. You're free to have a different,
freer kind of relationship. >> Imani: Mom's afraid.
I know it. I can feel it.
And I believe you when you say that her condition might not be
dire, but I just can't stand the thought of losing my mother now.
>> Sharon: Oh, this is your idea of livening things up?
>> Nick: Yeah, I'm gonna make beverages in the festive variety
for all of us. >> Sharon: Well, this is my
place of business. I can do it.
>> Nick: I used to work here, too.
Hey, do you remember when we tended bar together?
>> Noah: Yeah, I still got the scars, man.
>> Nick: Here's what I'm thinking -- You and me,
milkshake party for New Hope. We can, you know, chuck some ice
cream pints back and forth. We'll take the chocolate, move
it around, behind the back, doing all this kind of stuff,
you know, up in the -- >> Noah: This guy is out of
control, man. You're just asking me to be in
my next piece. >> Nick: No, no, no, no, no.
I will wow the crowds and give them exactly what they want and
impress them with my milkshake moves, milkshake moves.
Let's go, come on. Who's up?
>> Nate: Are you feeling better now?
>> Imani: Thank you so much. >> Nate: If you'll excuse me for
a moment. >> Imani: Oh, of course.
>> Nate: Hey. >> Elena: Hi.
I thought you had a meeting at Chancellor tonight.
I decided to pick up dinner for us on my way back from the
hospital. >> Nate: Wow, great minds think
alike. I was gonna grab you some
dinner, then steal a kiss or two, then head back to my
meeting. >> Elena: Oh, well, that's so
sweet of you. Thank you.
So did Imani volunteer to carry your takeout bags or...?
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] She is here with Amanda.
Their mother got some troubling news about her health.
>> Elena: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
>> Nate: I did my best to try to convince her that everything
should be okay. Thank you.
Why don't I drive you home so you can dig into your food?
>> Elena: No, no, no. You get back to your meeting.
I'll stay and offer my doctorly advice in case they have any
questions. >> Amanda: Elena, hi.
>> Imani: What did the doctor say?
>> Amanda: Well, he said that there is no cause for concern
because there is no evidence of any serious underlying
condition. >> Nate: Does he want you to
schedule additional check-ups? >> Amanda: Yeah, just to monitor
the situation. And Mom has to call if she has
any other episodes. >> Imani: So she'll be alright?
>> Amanda: If she follows her doctor's orders, she will be
fine. >> Imani: [ Sighs ]
Thank God. >> Elena: That's great news.
>> Nate: Did you want me to give Devon an update?
>> Amanda: No. I just -- I didn't get a chance
to tell him about this, and I wanted to wait until I had more
information. And he has so much on his mind
right now. I just --
>> Nate: Okay, I'll leave that up to you, then.
>> Amanda: Thank you. >> Nate: I'll see you later
tonight. >> Elena: Yeah.
>> Amanda: Night, Nate. >> Nate: Night.
>> Elena: You ladies mind if I join you for a drink?
>> Amanda: No, no, absolutely not.
Please. >> Adam: Victoria and Nikki are
going out of town so Victoria can "clear her head."
>> Sally: She's going on vacation?
>> Adam: It must have been terribly stressful for her to
realize that she almost handed over the company to her
con artist husband, and then was saved by yours truly.
I mean, the poor woman, she deserves a little downtime at a
European spa. >> Sally: The self-care rituals
of the rich and powerful. >> Adam: Why can't Dad see that
she's unfit to run Newman? >> Sally: It's up to us to open
his eyes. >> Adam: Well, Victoria and
Ashland are never gonna find their way back to each other if
she's on a different continent. >> Sally: Yeah, but how long
does a spa trip take, a week, two?
>> Adam: She can't come back soon enough.
>> Sally: You really want this to happen fast.
>> Adam: Victoria and Ashland are clearly interested in
reuniting, so I just would appreciate if they would stop
avoiding the inevitable and move it along.
>> Sally: Okay, let's just take a minute and consider another
option. Perhaps this trip isn't actually
an obstacle in our path. What if it's a blessing in
disguise?
>> Sally: From the looks of things, Ashland isn't going
anywhere. We've only started laying the
groundwork to convince him not to give up on Victoria and
Victoria to forgive him. >> Adam: So how does my sister's
stay at a European spa help us achieve our goal?
>> Sally: Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and all of
that. The more distance Victoria puts
between them, the more she misses him.
>> Adam: Do you really believe that?
Or are you just trying to talk me down?
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] We have to be patient.
We knew from the beginning this was going to be a slow and
challenging scheme. >> Adam: Well, the more time
that passes, the less predictable things are gonna
become. We cannot fail.
>> Sally: Because if we do, you will not become the CEO of
Newman Enterprises. >> Adam: And you will lose you
shot at becoming CEO of Newman Media.
I know how much you've enjoyed your brief tenure in that chair.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] >> Adam: Can you really live
being stuck in second place when you know how good it feels to be
number one? >> Nick: [ Sighs ]
>> Noah: That mocha was -- >> Sharon: Surprisingly
delicious. >> Nick: Why are you shocked?
I was an owner of this place, too, at one point.
>> Sharon: No, I'm just saying. >> Nick: You think it was a
fluke? Fine, I'll make you another.
>> Sharon: No, no more caffeine. I will not be able to sleep
tonight. >> Nick: Okay, I'll skip the
caffeine and go right to just a tower of whipped cream.
Chocolate shavings, little cherry on top?
>> Noah: Oh, it is your favorite part of any drink.
>> Sharon: It is not. >> Nick: It most certainly is.
We have many photos proving that you love whipped cream.
Lots of memories. You love all things frothy,
Sharon. >> Sharon: Okay, fine, guilty as
charged. But no more drinks.
>> Nick: Alright. But you could do some chocolate.
>> Sharon: Now you're talking. >> Both: Double fudge brownie.
>> Noah: Coming right up. And by that, I mean Dad will go
get one for you and for me, 'cause we both know how much you
hate eating brownies alone. >> Nick: I live to serve.
>> Noah: And make sure that's floating on top of a giant cloud
of whipped cream, okay? >> Sharon: With a cherry on top.
>> Noah: And there's an extra little tip in it for you if you
dance it out to the table. >> Nick: Oh.
>> Imani: I hate this feeling of helplessness, like there's
nothing we can do for Mom. >> Elena: That's not true at
all. There's plenty you can do.
You can go with her to all of her appointments.
>> Amanda: And I will check in on her more often, I promise.
>> Imani: At least we have friends like Nate and you, of
course, Elena, to hold our hands through all of this.
>> Elena: It's difficult being called on to care for our elders
when we're used to being the ones who are cared for.
I moved in with my Uncle Jett when he got sick, until he was
back on his feet, and I remember feeling really scared, not
knowing what was gonna happen next.
But in the end, he recovered. And luckily, I ended up starting
a whole new life here in Genoa City.
>> Imani: Are you saying you originally came to town for your
uncle? >> Elena: Yeah, yeah, a few
years ago now. That's actually how I met Devon.
His sister Ana is my Uncle Jett's daughter.
>> Imani: And you and Devon were together for quite some time.
>> Elena: I don't know if I'd say all that.
>> Imani: Ah, and then you started dating Nate.
But, you know, I never heard the juicy part in the middle of the
story. Like, why did you and Devon call
it quits? I mean, if you don't mind
sharing. >> Elena: [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: I was about to send out a search-and-rescue team for
you. >> Nate: I'm sorry that took
longer than expected. >> Billy: No harm, no foul as
long as it's as good as it smells.
>> Nate: I hope you managed to nail down some details while I
was gone. >> Devon: Yeah, we were actually
able to accomplish a lot. >> Billy: Yeah, I'll e-mail you
a bunch of notes that I took. >> Nate: Thanks.
You know, I've been thinking a lot about this, not just the
launch, but some of the ideas we discussed about the company
moving forward. >> Lily: Yeah, let's hear it.
>> Nate: Well, this merger's gonna generate a lot of
attention, and I think you need to promote the company not just
as a family business whose combined entities will continue
to make an impact on a regional and national level, but one
that's going to -- >> Lily: Prepare for global
domination? >> Nate: Yes, absolutely.
Go big. >> Devon: Big?
You sound like a real risk-taker, man.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] Why not? >> Devon: Well, I mean, we've
always known you as a guy to be really more like a "follow the
rules" type of dude, you know? >> Lily: I know.
Who knew that Nate was this business phenom just waiting to
be unleashed? >> Devon: Been suppressing all
this pent-up frustration or something?
>> Nate: No, no, I wouldn't say I was frustrated before.
It's more like I'm filled with an aspiration I never knew
existed until now, you know? >> Lily: Wow.
>> Nate: So please raise your expectation.
>> Lily: Wow, okay, you hired him.
>> Devon: I -- No, that was you, actually.
>> Nate: It was a group decision.
You brought me into the fold, and I intend to make the two of
you and Neil very proud. >> Lily: Aww. [ Chuckles ]
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Amanda: Elena's past is her business.
>> Imani: I didn't realize it was top secret.
>> Amanda: Maybe you didn't realize, but my sister has a
really hard time knowing when to stop.
>> Imani: Okay, yes, I can be a little too curious.
Good thing I'm not a cat. >> Amanda: You don't need to
answer that. >> Imani: No, we're all friends.
What you say will not be used against you.
>> Amanda: Why don't we just change the subject?
>> Elena: Okay, hey, hey, hey. It's fine.
I don't mind talking about it. >> Imani: Oh, okay, good.
Tell me all the details and don't leave anything out.
What? She said she doesn't mind. >> Elena: Okay.
Unfortunately, as much as Devon and I loved each other, I think
we were growing apart. >> Amanda: That is Elena's
polite way of saying that it is all my fault.
>> Elena: That is not true. >> Amanda: Okay, 65%.
My job brought me to town, and little did I know, I looked
exactly like Devon's deceased wife.
>> Imani: Mm, Hilary. >> Amanda: Yes.
>> Elena: Her twin. But none of us knew that at the
time. >> Amanda: If it wasn't for Nate
pushing me to get that DNA test...
>> Imani: So you were dating Nate and you were dating Devon.
How did everything end? >> Elena: Nate and I worked
together. We spent a lot of hours in the
clinic together. And he was just really kind and
supportive when it felt like Devon was pulling away from me.
And one night, we gave in to our attraction.
>> Imani: No. No, you didn't. >> Amanda: Imani, just --
>> Imani: No, I'm just saying neither you nor Nate seem
like -- >> Elena: The type of people who
would do something like that. Yeah, we didn't think so either.
But I guess there's just something undeniable between us.
>> Imani: That must have been a very painful time for everyone
involved. >> Elena: It was.
For Amanda, as well, since she was seeing Nate at the time.
>> Amanda: Yeah, but we weren't serious.
>> Elena: Still, it was a betrayal.
>> Imani: So how did Devon find out?
>> Elena: I told him everything. >> Imani: He must have been
furious. >> Elena: Yeah, and rightfully
so. He ended things with me and he
got in a huge fight with Nate. Permanently injuring his hand.
That's actually the reason why Nate can't perform surgery
anymore. And it's one of the reasons why
he's chosen to change his career path.
>> Imani: Which brings us to now.
Amanda and Devon, you and Nate. That's incredible.
After all the people who got hurt and the lives that were
forever changed, you guys are all so close again.
That says a lot. >> Amanda: So do you, Imani.
Too much. >> Imani: [ Chuckles ]
Well, it's good to know that time really can heal some
wounds. >> Elena: Yeah, time and a lot
of hard work to earn forgiveness.
But I think everything worked out how it was meant to.
>> Imani: Hmm. >> Elena: And not only are we
neighbors, but we are also friends.
>> Amanda: To good friends who have already been through the
worst. >> Elena: Yes, so the best is
yet to come. [ Laughter ]
>> Nate: We burned through more than half the items on our list.
>> Devon: We sure did, and I suggest that we leave the rest
of the decisions for tomorrow. Tackle them in the morning.
>> Lily: Oh, come on, really? We just got our second wind.
You're gonna leave? >> Nate: You and Billy work
together and live together. You're not constantly trying to
carve out some time for your partner the way I am.
>> Lily: Okay, fine, whatever. Get out. Go home.
>> Devon: [ Chuckles ] >> Billy: Alright, thanks, guys.
We'll see you tomorrow. >> Devon: Night.
>> Lily: Bye. Good night. Well, that was a productive
meeting. >> Billy: Yeah, it was good.
>> Lily: Anything else you want to say about it?
>> Billy: No, I think everybody's on the same page.
>> Lily: Are we, though? >> Billy: What exactly do you
mean by that? >> Lily: Well, it just seemed
like after Nate got here, you were kind of in a mood.
>> Billy: I was in a mood? Why would I be in a mood?
No. >> Lily: Well, I mean, the other
day, Devon mentioned that you might be uncomfortable because
you're the only person in the C-suite who's not family and was
wondering if you feel awkward about it.
>> Billy: And now you're wondering the same thing.
>> Lily: Well, I mean, it was in the back of my mind, and now it
is in the front of my mind when I saw how quiet you got when we
were all chatting. So are you really okay with this
merger? >> Billy: I am so excited to be
a part of this team. I really am.
Just as much today as I was when we first started, okay?
But the truth? >> Lily: Always.
>> Billy: It's a little bit difficult sometimes.
You know, when you and your family, you and your brother,
batting it around a little and you're baiting each other, it's
great, I love it, you know? I think it's wonderful, but it's
just a reminder every time, when you start talking about Neil,
that I'm not part of the family. And maybe that means my position
here at the company is not quite as important, you know?
The passion that you have, it comes from a different place.
>> Lily: Yeah, but your contributions are just as
important to me as Nate's and Devon's.
>> Billy: Well, thank you. I appreciate you saying that.
Look, this is just something I need to figure out on my own.
You know, I need to find my place in this new structure,
that's all. >> Lily: Anything I can do to
help? >> Billy: No, you're good.
I'm gonna do it on my own, but thank you.
>> Lily: Okay. Well, take all the time that you
need. >> Sally: Let me give it to you
straight. >> Adam: I expect no less.
>> Sally: I didn't just enjoy my all-too-temporary reign as
CEO of Newman Media. I loved it, every minute of it.
>> Adam: I am aware. >> Sally: Because I love working
and creating and seeing a vision through, and, yes, I won't deny,
I enjoy the power. So if having that again is off
the table, then I will have to tell you that I'm out.
I'm gone, and I will strike out on my own.
But I can't say that, because I'm not going anywhere.
>> Adam: Well, then I guess I better make sure that I show you
how much I appreciate you sticking around.
>> Sally: You took a leap of faith on me, hiring me as your
COO. And it is my absolute pleasure
to be your right-hand woman. Staying here at Newman Media
with you is my top priority. >> Adam: It's good to know that
I have you in my corner. >> Sally: You've got me wherever
you want me. So no more talk of possible
failure. Only positive thoughts and
plans. >> Adam: Well, you are the
expert at seeing five moves ahead.
What do we now? >> Sally: This.
>> Billy: What is the nature of insecurity?
You know, that feeling that you're not enough -- where does
that come from? Maybe it's a -- a rational
awareness about your own inabilities.
Maybe it's a little self-pity. Could probably be a little bit
of ego in there. You know, not enough people
telling you just how great you are.
And, look, maybe that is too harsh and maybe that is too
cynical. This could simply be a
byproduct of the human experience.
Whatever it is, I imagine most people want to feel the ground
underneath their feet. They want to know that they're
in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing.
And that's the challenging part because there is no one that is
going to be able to tell you if you are.
That truth... [ Sighs ]
That truth lies with you. Which brings you right back
around to insecurity and the wonder -- where is your place
in this world? >> Sharon: That was so fun.
>> Nick: Well, I know it's not Paris, but...
>> Sharon: But you got me laughing and I got to see you
dance again. >> Nick: Well, consider yourself
lucky. Not many people get to see that
twice in one week. >> Sharon: Thank you.
It was nice spending time with family.
I wish Faith could've been here, but she's off with Moses.
>> Nick: You mentioned an empty nest earlier.
It's gonna be hard on you when she leaves, right?
>> Sharon: Well, I know that Faith was off at boarding school
at one point, but this is different.
When she goes off to college, it'll be the end of --
No, you know what? It'll be the beginning of her
real adult life. A true goodbye on a different
level, actually. You know, when she walks out
that door for the last time, she steps into the new phase of her
life... >> Nick: It's not gonna be easy.
>> Sharon: I'm gonna miss her like crazy.
But don't you dare tell her I said that because I don't want
her putting her life on hold for any reason whatsoever.
I want her to get out there, do things, learn things, meet
people, and just become the person she was meant to be.
>> Nick: Yeah, I want that, too. Don't worry, your secret's safe
with me. >> Devon: Hey.
Oh. This is more than just a
welcome-home hug. >> Amanda: Been a long day.
>> Devon: Yeah? >> Amanda: Yeah.
>> Devon: What's wrong? >> Amanda: [ Sighs ] Nothing,
just -- Nothing, it's just my mom is having more frequent
a-fib symptoms, and I know that it's to be expected.
I just -- I'm sitting here and it's just -- it's hitting me
harder than I thought. >> Devon: I'm sorry.
>> Amanda: But Nate and Naya's doctor, they both say there's
nothing to worry about, at least not yet.
>> Devon: Well, that's good news, right?
>> Amanda: Yeah, yeah, no, it is.
>> Devon: So tell me, why did Nate hear about this before I
did? >> Elena: Mm.
Mm! Tell me I'm not still dreaming.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] [ Clears throat ]
Why don't I take you upstairs and tuck you into bed?
>> Elena: Mm, mnh-mnh. I'm up. How was your meeting?
>> Nate: It was good. Great, even.
>> Elena: You know, every time you talk about your job, your
face lights up. I'm so happy for you.
>> Nate: I'm happy for me, too. [ Both laugh ]
So how was hanging out with Amanda and Imani?
>> Elena: It was fine on the surface.
>> Nate: Mnh-mnh. Should I be worried?
>> Elena: I wouldn't say all that, but...keep your eyes open.
Imani is definitely after you.
>> Nate: Imani's a flirt. She is harmless.
>> Elena: She certainly loved having you to comfort her today.
>> Nate: She was upset about her mother.
She wanted some reassurance. >> Elena: That may be true, but
she wants more than that from you.
>> Nate: Did she say something to you?
>> Elena: No, she didn't have to.
I could tell. >> Nate: You could tell?
Okay. Whatever Imani may or may not be
thinking, there's only one woman in my heart and on my mind.
So please don't feel threatened by her.
>> Elena: I don't, because nothing is gonna come between
us. >> Amanda: It's not like I went
looking for Nate. Imani and I, we were at Society
and he came in to grab some dinner, and that's it.
>> Devon: Yeah, but I must've seen him probably like 15
minutes after that, and he never mentioned any of this to me.
>> Amanda: Well, that's -- that's actually because I asked
him not to. I wanted to be the one to tell
you. I wanted to wait till you were
done with all of your business for the day.
I didn't want to distract you. >> Devon: You're never a
distraction to me. Don't ever think that, please.
When something happens to you, it happens to me, too.
>> Amanda: Well, I don't want you to drop everything for every
minor emergency. >> Devon: It's not about me
dropping everything. It's about you not holding back
if you have something to share. People can cover for me if
things get rough. Lily's there. She can cover.
It's fine. If you have something to talk
about, talk to me. >> Amanda: I know, but --
>> Devon: Do you? I'm serious.
I want to be there for you, alright?
Never doubt that for a second. >> Billy: When is insecurity
just a passing phase and when does it become a chronic flaw?
What's it take to get yourself out of that place you find
yourself in? You feel alone, I get it.
Most importantly, I feel that way, too.
>> Sharon: I know I won't really be alone when Faith goes off to
college. I'll have Mariah.
>> Nick: And what about Noah? You just have to think about
dinner and he shows up. >> Sharon: [ Chuckles ]
That's true. >> Noah: You guys say something?
>> Sharon: No. >> Nick: No.
See? Baby bird's never leaving the nest, no matter how badly we
want to kick him out. Plus, you're forgetting about
someone. >> Sharon: Who?
>> Nick: Me. I'm not going anywhere.
And if you get lonely and you want to hear the pitter-patter
of little feet, you can always come over and hang out with
Christian. >> Sharon: Does he still like to
have his bedtime stories read to him?
>> Nick: He can be convinced. Especially if it's you.
>> Sharon: Well, then I might have to take you up on that.
>> Adam: Well, that was quite the diversion.
>> Sally: [ Chuckles ] Now we can talk about what our
next move is to get Ashland and Victoria back together.
>> Adam: While making sure Dad doesn't know what we're up to.
>> Sally: [ Sighs ] >> Adam: He's having Ashland
watched, so we could get caught up in that surveillance.
>> Sally: Well, then we will just have to be very, very
careful. Stay off of Victor's radar.
>> Adam: His goal is to get Ashland as far away from
Genoa City as possible. >> Sally: Can't any of your
dad's hobbies keep him busy, like a golf tournament or a
boxing camp? >> Adam: [ Chuckles ]
Hold up. >> Sally: Was it something I
said? >> Adam: A crisis -- A crisis
that would take his focus off of Ashland and force it elsewhere.
>> Sally: What kind of crisis do you have in mind?
