>> Diane: You just missed your
charming wife and daughter. >> Victor: I heard their voices.
I saw them leave. You know that my family and
everyone else in this town doesn't want you here.
They remember the havoc you've caused.
They despise you. >> Diane: Oh, well.
I used to let the haters get me down, but no more.
There's only one person whose opinion I care about, and that's
my son's. >> Victor: I bet your son
remembers that you abandoned him.
He's a smart boy. He won't forget.
>> Diane: Well, think what you like, Victor.
I'll be taking my cues from him. Not even you and your famous
glare can intimidate me into leaving before Kyle tells me
what he wants. >> Victor: You're making a
dangerous choice. >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
Maybe I am. You know, I -- I may have faked
my death, but none of you were faking your hostility towards
me. That's why I ran away, why I
became afraid. But giving in to that fear cost
me this relationship with my son.
I'm stronger now, and I've learned what matters and earning
Kyle's forgiveness is worth anything that you can put me
through. >> Victor: You stick around
and spend a lot of time with your son, and he will realize
what we've all known for years. You're an incompetent mother.
You're a narcissist. You're too selfish.
He'll learn. You will never change.
>> Diane: [ Sighs ] 𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅮
>> Billy: Hey, stranger.
>> Chance: Wow, Billy. It has been a while.
>> Billy: It's been a long time. How you been?
I'm actually -- I'm glad I ran into you.
>> Chance: Yeah, what's up? >> Billy: Well, I've meant to
reach out to you and tell you just how sorry I was to hear
about Rey. >> Chance: I appreciate that,
man. Thank you.
>> Billy: I'm sure it's not easy to lose your partner, especially
after the year that you've had. >> Chance: Yeah, yeah, miss him
every day. Everyone does.
It's a void you can't fill, but you got to do your best, right?
>> Billy: I'm sure you will. >> Chance: So word on the street
is you are gonna help run Chancellor now.
COO, man. Congrats. >> Billy: Yeah, man.
Absolutely. Appreciate that. >> Chance: Hey, that's great,
and not just for you, but for Jill, too.
You know, she can start to enjoy life a little bit more.
>> Billy: Yeah, speaking of my mother enjoying life, tell me
she sent you that ridiculous video of her in Bora Bora
learning how to blow out of that conch shell.
>> Chance: [ Chuckles ] Classic, right?
>> Billy: Yeah. Well, that's my mother.
But business is good. Merger's going well.
Lily's cooking up some exciting things with her brother.
>> Chance: Good, good to hear. Yeah, I bet Devon's a good guy
to work with. We've gotten to know him a lot
better lately. >> Abby: Look at you, snoozing
away. I'd wake you up, but I know I'd
regret it. But you sure are missing a
beautiful day. >> Devon: Hey.
>> Abby: Hi. >> Devon: Two of my favorite
people. How you doing?
>> Abby: How are you? >> Devon: I'm good.
How you doing? >> Abby: I'm good.
>> Devon: You guys out for a little stroll in the park?
>> Abby: Yes, but he slept most of the way.
>> Devon: I see that. >> Abby: [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: Has he been feeling okay?
He looks like he's a little pale.
>> Abby: Oh, it's just the sunscreen.
I lathered him up before we left the house.
>> Devon: I see. >> Abby: [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: I'm sorry for worrying you for no reason.
Just don't listen to anything I'm saying.
>> Abby: No worries. I know it comes from love.
>> Ashland: [ Sighs ] >> Jack: What brings you by,
Ashland? >> Ashland: Well, I was hoping
to -- to see Harrison. >> Jack: I would have to get
Summer and Kyle's permission in order to allow that.
They're not here. But I guess you knew that.
You came anyway, hoping you would get around their decision
to block your access to Harrison.
A decision I happen to agree with.
>> Ashland: Okay, okay. Summer and Kyle are young and
headstrong. And they seem to be forgetting
that we have a legally binding agreement.
>> Jack: No judge in this town would consider you a good
influence on a child. >> Ashland: Is that a challenge?
Are you really saying to me right now that I need to go to a
judge and get a court order to see my own son?
>> Jack: Yes, I'm suggesting exactly that.
>> Ashland: Okay. >> Jack: [ Sighs ]
>> Chance: Well, Billy, I got to head out of here.
It was good seeing you. >> Billy: Yeah, you too.
We'll catch up soon. We'll grab a beer or something.
>> Chance: Absolutely. >> Billy: Okay, see you.
>> Chance: Oh, you know what? Before I go, I just listened to
your podcast, the one on insecurity.
It was good, man. Really hit home.
>> Billy: You know what? Don't be like that.
Don't be pulling my leg like that.
>> Chance: [ Chuckles ] I'm not, man.
It was good. I liked it. >> Billy: Well, thank you.
I appreciate that. What do you know about
insecurity anyway? What are you doing listening to
a podcast about that? You're like a superhero.
You're larger than life. >> Chance: Well, you know, I
haven't talked to too many people about this, besides Abby,
but adjusting to civilian life after Spain wasn't easy.
You know, I'm working through it and I'm all good, but just goes
to show you, no one is immune to self-doubt.
Keep it up. >> Victor: How wonderful to see
you. Hi, sweetheart.
Nice to see you. Kyle.
>> Kyle: Shame Nikki couldn't join us.
>> Victor: Well, you know, she and Victoria went on vacation to
get away from all this madness involving Ashland.
>> Summer: Jack filled us in, and I spoke to Victoria briefly.
It's sickening the way that he lied to her.
>> Kyle: Yeah, we ran into Ashland, too.
Made it clear we didn't want him around.
>> Victor: You did the right thing, I assure you.
Anyway, let's talk about more pleasant things.
How's your boy? >> Summer: [ Chuckles ]
He is the cutest, sweetest little boy in either hemisphere.
>> Victor: In either? >> Summer: Yes.
>> Victor: I see. >> Summer: He's got these little
knights that he's always sending into battle.
I think that he's gonna be a natural at chess.
>> Victor: Oh, well, in that case, send him over to the
ranch. Just the right age to learn
chess, you know. >> Summer: Thank you.
>> Victor: And I bet you, being bright and curious as he is,
he'll learn quickly. >> Summer: We will.
>> Victor: You bet. So I just saw your mother.
She told me that she hadn't left town because she was waiting for
you to tell her what to do. >> Kyle: Finding out she was
alive was a bit of a shock. I've been sorting through a lot.
>> Victor: Yeah. I remember, sadly...when she
abandoned you. >> Kyle: I mean, is what she did
infuriating and hurtful? Of course, but we only get one
mother. I mean, I don't know if I'm
prepared to cut her out of my life before I try to give her a
chance to redeem herself. [ Cellphone chimes ]
Work. I've got to take this call.
Would you please excuse me? >> Victor: You bet.
Nice to see you, Kyle. So what do you think about
Diane Jenkins being back in town?
You know, she, um...she angered a lot of people.
And she traumatized Kyle when he was a boy -- you know that.
>> Summer: You can't tell me anything about Diane that I
haven't heard already from my mother.
>> Victor: I bet. There's one thing Phyllis and I
have always agreed on -- Diane Jenkins is a very
dangerous woman, you know. And she hasn't changed.
She's gonna cause a lot of people a lot of trouble.
And I want you to make sure that you make Kyle aware of that.
He must not forget what happened.
>> Diane: Thank you. Oh, wow.
Looks like your day isn't going any better than mine.
>> Ashland: Yeah, well, I just came from Jack's place, and he
is siding with Kyle and Summer and not letting me see Harrison.
>> Diane: The Abbotts do have a tendency to circle the wagons.
>> Ashland: Yeah. I -- It floors me that they
think that they have to protect Harrison from me, right?
I mean, I have loved that child since he took his first breath,
and they're acting like finding out that I'm not his biological
father will make him forget that somehow.
>> Diane: I've met Harrison. I have no doubt that he was
surrounded by love from day one. You can tell by his sweet,
trusting nature. >> Phyllis: Oh, look at this.
Of course you two would find each other.
Game recognizes lying, cheating game, am I right?
>> Devon: What are you looking, Dominic?
What is that? You looking at that cloud right
there? Looks like a flamingo, huh?
>> Abby: I have to see if I can get him to make this expression.
He does it and he looks so much like you.
>> Devon: Does he really? >> Abby: Yes.
>> Devon: I want to see. What expression is it?
>> Abby: Well, it's when I play him that song "Baby Shark" --
you know the song. >> Devon: Oh, no, please don't
sing it. Do not sing it.
I don't need it stuck in my head all day.
>> Abby: Yes, that's it, that's the face that Dominic makes.
>> Devon: He makes this one? I bet he does, 'cause he doesn't
want to hear it either. It's like a form of child abuse.
"Don't play that for me, Mommy." [ Both laugh ]
>> Abby: You know, if you had told me years ago that this is
where we'd be today... >> Devon: It's crazy, huh?
>> Abby: Big time. >> Devon: I know.
It's really great, though. >> Abby: Yeah.
[ Both laugh ]
>> Nate: Now, that's what I call a productive morning.
>> Lily: [ Chuckles ] You must be so proud planning
this party, since it was your idea.
>> Nate: [ Chuckles ] But the merger was your idea, so
you must be even more excited. >> Lily: No, yeah, it's been
good. It's been fun.
And we did good work today, right?
Well, anyway, I think we'll wait for Devon to get here before we
finalize some things, and, oh, is Elena coming to the party?
>> Nate: Not sure. That's the downside of me not
being at Memorial. I can't set her schedule
anymore. >> Lily: Yeah, it's a bummer.
>> Nate: Yeah, she wants to be there.
I got to say, Elena's been very supportive of my career change,
even though it means we see less of each other.
>> Lily: No, I mean, that's great.
That's important to have in a partner.
>> Nate: Yeah, you should know. Billy always seems to have your
back. >> Lily: Yeah, it's been a
godsend, for sure, having him by my side.
>> Imani: Hey. I didn't expect to see the two
of you here. >> Lily: Hello. How are you?
>> Imani: I'm good. Was there a meeting scheduled
or...? >> Nate: Oh, only between Lily,
Devon, and me. >> Lily: We're just finalizing
details for the party. >> Imani: Oh, well, you'll be
happy to know I've obtained the photography releases from all
the various VIPs that'll be attending.
>> Lily: Wow, that was fast. Thank you for staying on top of
that. >> Imani: Yeah, with my
experience in the political world, it hardly took any time,
so... For better or worse, politics
is really all about brand management, so it's -- it
translates easily. >> Lily: Well, that's funny, you
and Nate actually have that in common 'cause you both have
skills in fields that seem unrelated, but they're not.
>> Imani: Yeah, Nate and I have all sorts of things in common.
[ Chuckles ] Well, if you'll excuse me, I
need some caffeine. >> Lily: Yeah.
Gosh, Devon should be here by now.
I wonder what's keeping him. >> Chance: Man, how you doing?
>> Devon: Good, man. Good to see you.
>> Abby: Hi. >> Chance: Hi.
>> Abby: This is a nice surprise.
I wasn't expecting to see you here.
>> Chance: Yeah, well, I was at Crimson Lights when you texted
me. I figured you could use one of
those. >> Abby: Well, thank you.
That's very sweet. >> Chance: Absolutely.
I'm sorry, man. If I had known you were here, I
would've brought you something too.
>> Devon: Oh, no, please. I appreciate that.
I'm actually headed there myself.
I have a meeting that I'm probably late for now, so I'm
gonna take off. Say goodbye, Dominic.
I love you, man. Don't let Mommy play that song
for you, okay? Just cover your ears, whatever
you do. >> Abby: [ Chuckles ]
>> Devon: I'll see you guys. >> Abby: Bye.
>> Chance: Yeah. Song?
>> Abby: you don't even want to know.
>> Chance: I'll take your word for it.
Hey, buddy. How's my big dude? How's my big dude?
Look at you. Hi.
>> Ashland: I was thinking about grabbing a cup of coffee at the
restaurant. Do you want to join me?
>> Phyllis: She can't join you. It's almost checkout time.
She needs to leave. >> Diane: Thank you for the
hourly reminders, Phyllis. Very helpful.
>> Phyllis: On second thought, you know, go, have your coffee,
enjoy yourself. I'll just get a bellman to go to
your room and throw your stuff on the sidewalk or throw it out
the window. I don't know, whatever works.
>> Diane: I'll handle it myself. [ Sighs ]
>> Ashland: [ Chuckles ] >> Diane: I think I'll have to
decline your kind offer for coffee.
>> Ashland: Wow, okay. Another time.
>> Diane: Yeah. Well, I'm -- I don't know.
As soon as I check out, I think I'm heading straight to the
airport to fly back to Los Angeles.
Unless I hear from Kyle before then, which, sad to say, I don't
expect to. >> Kyle: Hey.
I didn't mean to be gone so long.
>> Summer: Oh, Grandpa said to tell you goodbye.
He needed to be somewhere. He wasn't upset or anything.
>> Kyle: Good. >> Summer: So tell me about your
call. >> Kyle: I asked Jabot's CFO
about our liquidity. Kept it very low-key.
>> Summer: With all the debt that Marchetti's carrying, it's
a big factor. >> Kyle: The news is good.
Not only is it possible to purchase the company, but it
also makes sense tax-wise. >> Summer: So you're saying we
have a winner? >> Kyle: Financially, yes.
Along with other obvious synergies.
>> Summer: [ Sighs ] Feels like everything is falling
into place. We have a solid case to present
to your dad for this acquisition, provided you still
feel good about moving back home.
>> Kyle: I do. I've been thinking about what it
means to have Harrison grow up around grandparents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, surrounded by love.
I lost my granddad early on, and I didn't get to know Dina until
it was almost too late. >> Summer: It would be great for
Harrison to be surrounded by extended family.
But that doesn't have to include Diane.
>> Kyle: I take it Victor had something to say about that
while I was on the phone. >> Summer: [ Sighs ]
>> Kyle: Look, I hate the position you're in.
Everyone pressuring you to pressure me.
>> Summer: I can handle it, and I'm not trying to sway your
decision either way. >> Kyle: No, I realize that.
>> Summer: I just want you to weigh all of the factors, just
like we're doing for this potential move back to
Genoa City. >> Kyle: [ Sighs ]
I'm trying my best. >> Summer: I can see how hopeful
you are that Harrison might be able to experience the best of
Diane without suffering the worst.
But do you think that that's possible?
And is it worth the risk? >> Kyle: Look, all I know is I
need to make up my mind. It's not fair to you or my
mother to keep living in this limbo.
I need to make a choice one way or the other and live with the
consequences.
>> Chance: Don't you do -- [ Laughs ]
>> Abby: [ Laughs ] >> Chance: Alright, Dom.
Look at that hand-eye coordination, man.
Can you do it again? Throw to Daddy.
>> Abby: Hey, stop! You cannot teach our son to
behave that way. He'll never be invited on
play dates. >> Chance: Oh, come on.
We're outside. We're just feeding the birds,
right? Besides, look at the arm on that
kid. That is some natural athletic
ability, my man. >> Abby: Oh, well, he must get
it from Devon, 'cause he certainly does not get it from
me. [ Chuckles ]
I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to bring up any
sensitive issues. >> Chance: What? No.
No, no, no, that's just a fact, right?
Devon's his biological father. He inherited a whole lot of
things from him, and probably gonna see that a lot more as he
gets older. It's fine.
>> Abby: Really? >> Chance: Yeah.
I mean, look, Abby, I'm feeling a lot more confident in my role
in his life, you know? Haven't you noticed a difference
in the way we interact? I mean, things just feel a
little bit more easier, right? Much more natural.
>> Abby: Yeah, I had noticed, but I was hoping it wasn't just
wishful thinking. I've been praying that you guys
would share the same emotional connection that I have with
Dominic. >> Chance: I am, yeah.
And I don't know if it's because of all the work I'm doing in
therapy or it's just happening naturally, but it is happening.
I'm just very grateful that you've been so patient with me
and you hung in there with me until it did.
>> Abby: Babe. >> Chance: Mm.
>> Devon: Hey. Sorry I'm late.
>> Lily: Hi. >> Devon: I apologize.
>> Lily: It's alright. >> Devon: You want to fill me in
on what I missed? >> Nate: Oh, well, Lily and I
spent the morning making plans for the launch event.
>> Lily: Yeah. I think we just need your input
just to finalize some things, and that's it.
>> Devon: Okay, cool. Where do we stand?
>> Lily: Phyllis sent menus. We narrowed it down to two.
>> Nate: We'll need your input on the guest list, as well.
But we're looking good. VIPs all confirmed.
The Governor has a conflict, but other than that, we've gotten
all yeses. >> Devon: That's excellent.
>> Lily: I also sent you the overall budget for the party,
too. >> Devon: Okay.
>> Lily: And what else? >> Nate: Programs.
I pulled in some ad folks to help with copy.
We should have mock-ups tomorrow.
>> Devon: That's perfect. Sounds like you guys have
everything under control. >> Lily: Yeah, for sure.
We're definitely ahead of schedule.
Which is great 'cause I can't put off this meeting with Jill
any longer. >> Devon: Is she coming to town?
>> Lily: No, she's been traveling in the Pacific, so I'm
gonna meet her in San Diego. Fly out tonight and be back as
soon as possible. >> Devon: Nice.
Nice, give her my love when you see her.
>> Lily: I will. >> Devon: So back to the event,
what are you guys thinking in terms of music?
>> Lily: Oh, actually, Nate had a great idea, if you want to
share. >> Nate: Thank you, Lily.
So instead of your standard band or deejay, I thought why not
feature some of the newer artists from your record label.
You know, make a real showcase out of it.
The exposure would be phenome--
>> Devon: I'm gonna stop you for a second.
>> Nate: Problem? >> Devon: Did you not think to
run this by me before bringing it up to Lily?
>> Lily: No, no, no, this came up spontaneously in our
conversation. No, I mean, I think it's a great
idea. It's a great way to promote our
media and entertainment division.
>> Devon: I mean, yeah, it might be, but this is my area of
expertise. This is part of the company that
I handle, and there may be some drawbacks that you didn't
consider. >> Nate: Well, I'm open to any
and all feedback. >> Devon: It's okay, we don't
need to get into it right now. It's fine.
I know since you're going out of town, we need to focus on
finalizing the plans, so... >> Nate: Well, I'm sorry if I
overstepped, Devon. >> Devon: It's not a big deal.
It's really not. We're all new to working
together, so it's fine. You're still learning.
>> Phyllis: Checking out? That's your luggage?
>> Diane: Yes, would you like to go through it, make sure I
didn't steal a bathrobe? >> Phyllis: No, we'll just
charge your card if anything's missing.
>> Diane: [ Scoffs ] >> Kyle: Taking off?
>> Diane: Oh, Kyle. Yes, I'm just settling my bill
with Phyllis. >> Kyle: Yeah, it's probably for
the best, putting some distance between the two of you.
>> Phyllis: The more distance, the better.
>> Kyle: Do you need help with your luggage?
I can drive you to wherever you need to go.
Where are you off to? >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
Could you excuse us? Honestly, Kyle, that depends on
you. If you need me to give you more
space so you can think things through, then I'll just head to
the airport and go back to Los Angeles.
>> Kyle: That's not what I want. Stay in Genoa City, please.
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ] Really?
>> "The Young and the Restless" will continue.
>> Lily: Okay, well, I think that's everything, right?
>> Devon: Think so. I'll give it all some thought
while you're away. >> Lily: Okay, great.
I'm gonna go back to the office and check on things, and then
Billy's gonna cover for me tomorrow at the meeting and keep
me posted, so...yeah. Alright.
>> Devon: Travel safe. >> Lily: Thank you.
>> Devon: Love you. >> Lily: Love you.
See you guys soon. >> Nate: Take care.
>> Lily: Bye. >> Nate: Hey, Devon, you want to
stick around for a minute? Next round's on me.
>> Devon: I can't, man. I got to get to some meeting
about accounting. There's some issue going on.
>> Nate: Okay, need me to sit in?
>> Devon: No, no, I got it under control.
It's fine. You've been working hard.
It's a real nice day. You should get out and enjoy it.
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] >> Imani: Thought you could use
a little pick-me-up. >> Nate: [ Chuckles ]
>> Imani: We newbies need to stick together.
[ Chuckles ] >> Nate: Guess you heard me step
in it earlier. >> Imani: Uh, yeah, it's
happened to me more than once. I love my new job, so I'm eager
to contribute, but then I'll get a little look or a nudge from
Amanda, tapping the brakes, reining me in.
>> Nate: Hmm. I've got to learn about
business. I never claimed otherwise.
>> Imani: Don't get me wrong. I -- I respect Amanda's
accomplishments and I am so grateful to her as my mentor,
and look, I know I would not have this job if it weren't for
her. But still, those moments of
getting knocked down a few pegs, it could -- it could take its
toll on you. >> Nate: Yeah, I hear you.
We'll figure it out, though. We both just started a bit
behind the curve, that's all. >> Imani: You honestly think
that's all that it's about? Because I don't.
>> Abby: [ Chuckles ] >> Chance: Whoa.
Look at that. Time flies when you're having
fun, huh? My break's about over.
I'd better get out of here. >> Abby: Well, thank you so much
for the smoothie. That was very sweet.
>> Chance: Well, it's my way of softening you up before I
deliver bad news. >> Abby: Mm, bad news?
What is it? >> Chance: I got to work late
again. >> Abby: Tonight?
>> Chance: Yeah. Yeah, since Rey, lot's been
slipping through the cracks. Mostly paperwork, but I just
want to get on top of it. >> Abby: Well, I totally
understand. I wasn't planning on going into
the restaurant tonight anyway, so Dom and I will just work on
his pitching skills. >> Chance: Uh-oh.
Watch out, kid's got a cannon. >> Abby: [ Chuckles ]
Well, I hope you have a very productive rest of your day.
>> Chance: You're the best. >> Abby: Mwah. I love you.
>> Chance: I love you. Jinx.
>> Abby: [ Laughs ] >> Chance: See you, buddy.
>> Abby: Hi. It's just the two of us.
Yeah. [ Chuckles ]
>> Diane: I -- I didn't mean to get so emotional.
I had almost convinced myself that you wanted me to leave.
Then I had an unfortunate run-in with Victor this morning, which
didn't make me any more optimistic.
>> Kyle: Yeah, I heard about that.
>> Diane: You spoke to him? Well, I'm afraid the Newmans and
most of the Abbotts will give you a hard time for asking me to
stay. >> Kyle: Probably.
I need this. I want to believe you've
changed, but words just aren't enough.
I need to see it myself. We need more time.
>> Diane: I can't tell you how grateful I am that you're giving
me another chance. >> Kyle: So where should I take
you, the Athletic Club? >> Diane: Oh, I think I should
find someplace less expensive. >> Kyle: No, don't worry about
it. I'll cover the bill.
>> Diane: Oh, no, no, no, Kyle. I won't allow that.
>> Kyle: No, I insist. I'm the one asking you to stay,
so it's on me, okay? >> Diane: [ Sighs ]
Thank you. >> Kyle: You're welcome.
>> Diane: [ Chuckles ]
>> Imani: I don't know a lot about your history with Devon,
but you obviously know mine with Amanda.
>> Nate: The broad strokes. >> Imani: There's still a little
friction between the two of us that comes out, like the other
night when we were worried about my mother.
>> Nate: Mm. >> Imani: Which makes sense, in
a way. >> Nate: Sure it does.
A-fib is scary stuff. >> Imani: Even beyond that, it
goes to how we were each raised. I was raised with two loving
parents who gave me every advantage, and Amanda, she had a
harder life. And then when we met, I was such
a brat. No, really, I own it.
I was pretty damn mean to her. And Amanda's forgiven that, but
I doubt she's forgotten. >> Nate: Hmm.
>> Imani: Can't help feeling there's a, I don't know, some
undercurrent of resentment -- well, that seems too strong of a
word, but something. >> Nate: Yeah, there are some
similarities to my history with Devon.
>> Imani: Really? >> Nate: Well, I grew up with a
loving, protective mother and Lily and her family, whereas
Devon was in and out of foster homes, always an outside, like
Amanda. And, obviously, I crossed a line
with Elena. >> Imani: Mm, yes, Elena told me
all about that. [ Chuckles ]
>> Nate: Though it worked out for the best eventually.
>> Imani: Hmm. Do you think that Devon still
might have a little chip on his shoulder?
>> Nate: [ Sighs ] I wouldn't be surprised.
>> Imani: [ Exhales sharply ] That's got to be frustrating, if
it's just gonna pop up when you least expect it and you're just
trying to do your best. >> Nate: Well, even though if
that's part of what's going on, I doubt Devon's consciously
aware of it. We're in a good place, mostly.
Better than I thought would've been possible, given how at odds
we were at one point. >> Imani: Mm.
I think that speaks to how much Devon values having you in his
life. I think things are gonna be fine
between you two, and for me and my sister.
>> Billy: Hello, baby. How's your day been so far?
>> Lily: Um, not bad. How about yours?
>> Billy: It is good. Getting some fresh numbers in
from the marketing team, and it looks like awareness for the
merger is up 7% from last week. That's good news.
>> Lily: Yeah, that's great. >> Billy: Yeah, and on a
personal note, I ran into Chance at the coffee house.
He said that he listened to my podcast and that he really liked
it and it resonated with him. Which, you know, felt kind of
good. It's nice to know that you've
put something out there, you get vulnerable, and like I said from
the beginning, if you help one person, right?
>> Lily: Yeah, well, I'm glad. >> Billy: You are? You sure?
What's going on? >> Lily: Well, I'm...confused.
>> Billy: About what? >> Lily: Well, 'cause when I
asked you how you felt about running the company with my
family, you told me you had to think through it on your own,
but apparently that meant talking about it on your podcast
in front of an audience instead of with me.
>> Kyle: Hey. >> Summer: Hey.
Did you find Diane? >> Kyle: I did.
>> Summer: And? How did it go? >> Kyle: I asked her to stay.
>> Summer: Wow. Okay. >> Kyle: Look, I'm still gonna
take things slowly, I just want to see how much of a
relationship we can salvage. >> Summer: I get it.
It would be hard to walk away with so many unanswered
questions. >> Kyle: And there are a few
things I want to talk to you about.
First, I'm putting my mother up at the Athletic Club.
She didn't ask me to, but I can tell money is a concern.
And since I'm the one asking her to stay, I feel responsible.
And she has this empty house sitting in LA.
>> Summer: Mortgage plus a hotel room, that's a big cost.
>> Kyle: Thank you for understanding.
I also didn't want to put my mother in a situation where she
felt desperate. >> Summer: Wise idea, because
when Diane gets desperate, she tends to make bad choices.
>> Kyle: Well, there's more to it than that.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be able to give her the money to
solve her financial problems, and now I can.
Or at least help. It feels good.
>> Summer: That's actually touching.
But you know how the rest of the family's gonna interpret it,
right? >> Kyle: That she's using me.
>> Summer: I can just hear my mother right now.
>> Kyle: That's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about.
Phyllis knows my mother is staying.
She was in the lobby when I asked her, and she did not look
happy. >> Summer: Oh.
>> Jack: What a nice sur-- Uh-oh, something's wrong.
>> Phyllis: Please, please take a minute to talk me off the
ledge before I completely lose my mind.
>> Billy: Look, I know this might sound a little bit
bizarre, but doing these podcasts, saying it out loud
like that, it's been my form of journaling or therapy, and it's
been surprisingly effective. >> Lily: So more effective than
talking things out than me? >> Billy: Clearly, I have hurt
you, and I am sorry. That was never my intention.
>> Lily: Yeah, I am hurt, but do you see how I'm talking to you
about it instead of sharing it with the world?
That's what couples do. But instead, you're giving me
this happy talk, and then you're shutting me out.
>> Billy: Look, I don't -- I don't feel like that's what I'm
doing. >> Lily: Okay, you know what?
You're right. I'll go listen to your podcast
with thousands of people and learn your real feelings, and
that makes me feel very special. >> Billy: Come on, hey, listen.
Can we take a step back for a second?
Okay? Let me be very clear. You are the most important
person in my life right now, okay?
[ Sighs ] And maybe I wasn't completely
truthful, but that's only because I hadn't figured out
what I was feeling yet. But now I have, so it's nothing
that you need to worry about, and let me just say this.
My little problems are not yours to solve.
I'm not gonna make that your responsibility.
>> Lily: No, I understand that, and I appreciate it, but this
does need to get solved. We're at a very critical point
in a huge project, and I'm counting on you to keep things
on track, especially while I'm out of town.
So if you don't like your position or if you want to
change something, then I hope that you can be up-front about
it. >> Billy: You have nothing to
worry about. I am up for the challenge.
I promise you, okay? Anything I was dealing with, I
dealt with it. You have my word.
>> Summer: I can't believe my mom's not already blowing up my
phone with warnings of letting Diane into our lives.
>> Kyle: Well, I go to her and explain my decision.
It was my choice. I'll take the heat.
>> Summer: No, it's okay. I can handle it.
I'll just let her know that we're going to be careful.
We're not gonna let Diane get away with anything manipulative
or sneaky, because that's true. Right?
>> Kyle: Absolutely. Maybe you should tell her that
we're thinking about moving back to town.
She'll be super excited and maybe it'll distract her.
It's worth a shot. Don't you think?
>> Summer: That might help a little, but don't underestimate
how much my mother loathes yours.
She is probably freaking out right now.
>> Phyllis: This is a colossal mistake.
You give that woman an inch and she completely takes advantage
of it. >> Jack: You're the one that
insisted Kyle has to make his own decision.
>> Phyllis: You know why that is?
Because I thought your son was intelligent enough to make a
smart decision. >> Jack: Phyllis --
>> Phyllis: Obviously, he's not. I thought he was smart enough
to see that this woman is completely destructive.
>> Jack: Phyllis, you need -- >> Phyllis: We're gonna look
back on this and we're gonna realize that we're complete
idiots. >> Jack: You need to calm --
>> Phyllis: I'm not gonna calm down!
[ Exhales sharply ] This is a disaster waiting to
happen, Jack. >> Jack: I know you want to
protect the kids. So do I.
But they are grown adults now. There is only so much we can do.
Kyle knows how much he has to lose.
Kyle did not make this decision lightly.
>> Phyllis: Why are you so even-keeled about this?
>> Jack: I don't really have much choice.
>> Phyllis: I'm not going to accept this.
Okay? >> Jack: What is it that you
think that Diane is going to do? >> Phyllis: What do I think
she's gonna do? I don't know.
See, I don't know, because she is so unpredictable.
Oh, my -- I'm unraveling.
[ Exhales sharply ] I am not doing well with this.
Okay? Listen, things are going so
great between us, finally. >> Jack: Wait, finally?
You sound impatient. I thought we were on the same
page. Until the other night, we were
gonna not be forced -- >> Phyllis: I know, I know.
We're not forced into anything. We took it slow, and that's a
good thing. Right?
But we admitted our feelings for each other and now we're good.
Right? Everything is good. It's good, right?
>> Jack: I happen to be very happy with the way things have
turned out. >> Phyllis: Okay.
See? What I'm upset about... I don't want anyone coming into
our life and ruining it. That's what I'm impatient about.
>> Jack: That's not going to happen.
>> Phyllis: You promise? >> Jack: I swear.
>> Phyllis: Thank you. Thank you for talking me off the
ledge. >> Jack: That was some kiss.
I think you may have to talk me down now.
>> Phyllis: Why would I want to do that?
